Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 428 Taming
"Hahaha!" Shoujun Dashi laughed: "Don't worry, if only Yiji Lianbode came this time, he might do this, but this time there is a Tang general, it is absolutely impossible, The Minister of the Interior will never hurt me a single hair until he finds out everything!"

"Minister? If His Majesty wants to kill us, what's the use of the minister?"

"Please believe me!" Shoujun Dashi said with a smile: "The Minister of the Interior is the one who controls everything. Even if His Majesty gave the order to kill me, the order cannot be carried out without the Minister's approval. That Tang general must be the Minister of the Interior. Sent to prevent accidents!"

------------------

"Shoujun Dashi is here, one, two, three, four, five, including himself, there are only five riders in total!" Looking at the several riders rushing to this side, He Bayong laughed.

"This bastard, I'm going to kill him!" Igilebod clenched the handle of the knife tightly, his teeth creaking.

"That can't be done!" He Bayong said with a smile: "Before departure, Duke Ming told me to calm down the situation immediately after arriving in the capital. If anyone disobeys the order, he will be punished, but he is not allowed to kill anyone in vain. Everything will be handed over to him. Dispose of it later. Shoujun Dashi only brought four riders to see us, how can we kill him?"

"He killed so many people!" growled Igilein Bod.

"That's another matter!" He Bayong said: "At the beginning when he was ordered by the Lord to come to Asuka Capital, he had the right to deal with it on the fly. Who and how many people to kill were within the scope of his authority. .As for whether what he did is right or not, only the Lord has the right to make a decision, and neither you nor I have the right to comment!"

"You—" Igillian Bode stared fiercely at Hebayong, and Hebayong looked at him without showing any weakness: "Igillian Bode, you better move your claws off the handle Otherwise, I will have to let someone tie you up!"

"Actually, we don't necessarily lose!" Ding Hui said, "It is His Majesty, not you, that Wang Wenzuo refuses to let go!"

Singhui was going to try his best to persuade his father, but he didn't expect Nakatomi Kamazu to admit it so easily, and he couldn't help feeling like he had punched the empty space.Nakatomi Kamazu smiled: "But you said something wrong. Your Majesty and I never thought of going against Wang Wenzuo from the very beginning. Your Majesty and I have had contact with him several times, and we all think he is an extremely terrifying guy. He made it to this point by pressing him every step of the way!"

Yamada Temple, the backyard.

Dinghui followed Zhongchen's sickle feet, his father's palms were spotted and full of age spots, but his back was still straight, as if nothing could knock him down.The two walked through a corridor, put on new warm straw sandals, and walked into the hall.The braziers at the four corners made the whole room warm and dry, and Ding Hui felt that his whole body became more relaxed.

"Try your best to recruit soldiers from Mino, Owari, and Mikawa to help His Majesty rebuild the army!" Nakatomi Kamatsu said, "Also, Ambe Hirov is also coming from Kyushu. His Majesty is not as good as him in terms of commanding the front line!"

"Then, why did he let me go?" Dinghui asked.

Nakatomi Kamazu put the dried fish in his hand back into the plate, and said word by word: "Do you know? When I followed His Majesty to assassinate Soga into the deer and crusade against the Soga clan 20 years ago, I thought that only His Majesty could make Yamato To become a civilized country like the Tang Dynasty, no one else can do it! I still have this view today, Princess Saitama does not have the capacity to become a king, if she ascends to the throne, the country will be finished!"

"That's what happened!" Dinghui said in a low voice: "When I left, all the troops under Wang Wenzuo's command totaled only over 1 people, and most of them were local tyrants who came to join us. All of them will not exceed 2000 people! He should not get new reinforcements from Baekje in such a short period of time, and His Majesty had at least 3 people at the time, right?"

"Lose so badly?" Ding Hui asked, "When did that happen?"

"Pretend to be a pitiful villain!" Igilian Bode said angrily.

"If that's the case!" Nakatomi said, "The future of the Nakatomi family can only be placed on you!"

This is a prison cell.

"Ah?" Dinghui was taken aback by the news his father said, subconsciously took a piece of dried fish as his father said, and chewed while thinking about the hidden meaning behind the news.

"I don't know about that!" Zhongchen said with a smile, "Maybe it's because Wang Wenzuo likes women more than men?"

"Obey!" Shoujun Dashi stood up, took out a document from his sleeve, and presented it with both hands: "This is the list of comrades who participated in the conspiracy at the beginning, including the number of soldiers they have; there is also a list of rebels who were killed. , and the confiscated property are all on it. Right now, Asuka capital has been divided into sections, and the comrades below are guarding it, and the streets of Asuka capital are already safe! General Heba only needs to give an order, and they will obey!"

"Hehehe! This kid is really quite a man just now!" He Bayong laughed: "But right now, it's important to do some errands, let's go, go do some errands!"

"Okay!" He Bayong handed the document to Ijilian Bode: "Well, according to the order from above, Asuka will be under the control of myself, and I will wrong you for a few days, and live in the backyard of Yamada Temple. Let’s wait for the Lord to come to Asuka and then talk about it!”

Dinghui opened his mouth wide, stunned by his father's rather indecent joke. He remembered the scene when Wang Wenzuo and Qiyu were together, and suddenly felt that what his father said might not be far from the truth.

"Okay, okay!" He Bayong made a gesture, signaling his subordinates to return the saber to Ijilian Bode: "I know he killed your teacher, but Saburo has already given the order, and everything will have to wait for him to arrive. Judgment! As a subject, you must first restrain your personal anger and focus on carrying out your orders."

"I don't know about that, maybe in his eyes you are not as important as Igileen Bode?" Nakatomi Kamazu said with a smile: "I remember that kid is good at archery and riding, but Buddhism and Sinology are not as good as you. Then Wang Wenzuo should be a warrior, and Yiji Lianbode is more in line with his taste, right?"

Hearing his father's tone of voice, Ding Hui knew that it was impossible for him to persuade the other party, and a great sense of despair swept over his chest, making him feel unspeakably uncomfortable: "Then, what are you going to do now?"

Shoujun Dashi kowtowed his head: "My heart to serve you can shine on the sun and the moon!"

"When did it happen?" Nakatomi Kamazu pondered for a while: "Twelve days ago!"

"Why, why did this happen?" Dinghui asked: "Could it be that this is an order from the emperor of the Tang Kingdom? Obviously, His Majesty is the strongest of the three?"

"I know that!" Iggy Lianbode said: "Just looking at his pretended humility just now, I can't get angry at all!"

"Maybe!" Dinghui nodded: "But in fact, Yiji Lianbode's Sinology is also good, he's just a little lazy, and his mind is too active, and he doesn't want to work hard to endorse!"

That's right, this house has windows, a brazier, and clean blankets and pillows. The daily meals are plentiful and delicious, and there is even a nice lady who serves meals. Shoujun Dashi has nothing to complain about in these aspects.But this still doesn’t change the fact that this is a prison cell—the house is surrounded by soldiers from the Tang army, and the courtyard door is locked tightly to isolate the inside and outside. As long as Shoujun Dashi opens the door, he will immediately attract a few vigilant eyes.

"You—" Igilein Bode was furious, and subconsciously touched his waist, but found nothing, only then remembered that the waist knife had been called out just now.He Bayong on the side smiled and said: "Okay, you are right, this matter should indeed be decided by His Majesty and the Minister of Internal Affairs. Now let's explain the situation in Beijing!"

"You're right!" Nakatomi sat down and took two slices of dried fish from a plate in his mouth. He always likes to eat something when he talks to people close to him: "Gods and Buddhas are indeed blessing you." Look at him, Omi just sent the news that His Majesty has been defeated! Don't you want to come?" He pointed to the plate on the table.

"No wonder!" Nakatomi Kamazu laughed, "There's nothing you can do about it, you're now on the losing side!"

"Shoujun Dashi, you did a good job!" He Bayong sneered.

"Yes, if I was not sure at the time, I can be sure now: Wang Wenzuo regarded His Majesty as the goal of his trip from the very beginning. He didn't show it at the beginning, but it was just to paralyze His Majesty. Among the three brothers and sisters of His Majesty , only His Majesty is his enemy!"

"Father, what do you mean your Majesty has been defeated?"

———————————–————————————————————————————————

"Pressing every step of the way?"

"Yes, this number should be about the same!" Nakatomi Kamazu picked up another piece of dried fish: "His Majesty praised Wang Wenzuo in the letter, saying that he used soldiers like ghosts and gods, and he was convinced that he lost!"

But Shoujun Dashi couldn't complain. The strict guards prevented him from going out, and at the same time protected him.Right now, there are too many people in Asuka Capital looking for their own lives. In order to avoid being bribed, He Bayong even specially dispatched soldiers from the Tang Dynasty to serve as guards. Obviously, he didn't want any accidents to happen to him.

But this does not mean that he is safe. Shoujun Dashi knows in his heart that his life will depend on Wang Wenzuo's will.And this person is absolutely impossible to guess, he is like a mysterious black hole, no one knows what he thinks, what he does, often only at the last moment, you know what he did.

"Ijilian Bode! I won't argue with you!" Shoujun Dashi said with a smile: "Right and wrong, in the end, His Majesty and the Minister of Internal Affairs will naturally decide!"

——————————————————————————————————————

"That's not bad!" He Bayong nodded in satisfaction: "I'll give you a word, don't do stupid things, you have a bright future under the Lord's command!"

"Then, what if we still lose?" Ding Hui asked.

"Twelve days ago? Isn't that the tenth day since I got on the boat?" Ding Hui was shocked.

Zhong Chen didn't speak at all, and gave Ding Hui a cold look. Ding Hui only felt that his blood was about to be frozen by the coldness in his father's eyes, but he still held his neck firmly and did not lower his head.Seeing his son's persistence, Nakatomi Kamatsu's eyes flashed a flash of approval, but it disappeared in the next second. He raised his right hand, and a servant hurriedly knelt in the mud, with his hands on the ground, and Nakatomi Kamatsu stepped on the ground. He got on his back and got off the horse.

The cold rain was blowing, turning the courtyard wall made of red clay into dark red, like solidified blood.Dressed in a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat, Dinghui walked quickly through the muddy courtyard, walked up to his father's horse, and said loudly, "Father, please think twice about everything. Wang Wenzuo is a person favored by gods and Buddhas. If possible, don't be hostile to him!"

"It's just a defeat, a complete loss!" Nakatomi Kamatsu said: "Your Majesty has lost most of the army, and is unable to stick to Asuki, so he directly withdrew from Nara and retreated to Omi!"

"Shoujun Dashi, your heart is to be punished!" Yiji Lianbode said sharply: "Could it be that His Majesty asked you to burn and kill in the capital?"

He Bayong's scolding made Igillian Bode calm down. He took a deep breath, untied the saber from his waist, and handed it to the soldiers beside him: "Don't worry, I will control myself!"

"That's right, what's the matter, what's so surprising?" Nakatomi Kamazu asked.

"Oh?" He Bayong took the document, flipped through it, and saw that on it was the list of people who swore to oppose Brother Zhong, the oath, the fingerprints, and the number of soldiers and horses dispatched by each family; the following pages were one by one. He recorded the list of rebels, the amount of confiscated family assets, charges, etc. He is not familiar with the internal situation of the Japanese, and he can't tell whether it is true or not, but it doesn't look like it was temporarily forged.

At this time, Shoujun Dashi had already arrived in front of the army, and he jumped off his horse when he was still twenty or thirty steps away, walked to the horse on foot, bowed his knees and bowed like a ritual.

"Follow your orders!" Shoujun Dashi took off his saber and handed it to the followers behind him, as if bowing his head and obeying orders.He Bayong waved his hand, several personal soldiers stepped forward and brought Shoujun Dashi down.

Mino Kokuji.

Even so, Shoujun Dashi did not regret what he did that night, the reason is very simple, he firmly believes that this is the only thing he should do-these old guys who have always refused to join the covenant and want to enjoy the benefits should die.Then there is enough space to install the upstart.Wang Wenzuo should understand his own intentions and do what he wants to do but is inconvenient to do. A person like this will not die.

But Wang Wenzuo didn't come to see him, and he was thrown in the yard, as if he had been forgotten.Loneliness made Shoujun Dashi feel lonely, longing to hear voices.So whenever the guards came to Shoujun Oishi's cell, whether it was delivering food or changing the toilet, he tried to talk to them.

He knew that pleas or pleas would go unheeded, so he asked questions in the hope that some day a warden would speak. "How is the war going?" he asked. "How are Your Majesty and the Home Minister?" Besides that, he asked his friends, his colleagues, and even Igileinbord. "How's the weather?" he asked. "Is the sea still calm? Has the Yamato River reopened?"

No matter what they asked, the result was the same, they never answered, although sometimes a guard would glance at him, giving Shoujun Oishi some hope.Most people don't even have that.In his eyes, I am not a human being, Shoujun Dashi thought, just a rock that can eat, talk and shit.
