Jinyi Night Walk

Early in the morning, Xia Xun and Zheng He were having fun!The imperial palace was suddenly surrounded by a group of Japanese warriors.

This is the mansion of the shogun. It is impossible for the samurai to surround this place without Ashikaga Yoshichi nodding, and Ashikaga Yoshichi stood at the gate facing the courtyard, holding a long knife in his hand.

Standing next to him was an old man holding a knife. His hair was already gray, but he was domineering. The splendor of the young general who was dressed in glamor was taken away, just like when Cao Cao met the Huns envoys, he asked Shang Shu Cui Yan to pretend to be the king of Wei, and he stood aside as a guard. what was taken.

Dozens of Ming Dynasty guards stood guard near the envoy's residence. Not to be outdone, they drew their knives out of their sheaths one after another, and set up a firearm on the top of the wall. He yelled and cursed loudly, but couldn't understand what the other party was saying.

After a while, Xia Xun and Zheng He walked out of the room leisurely. The two seemed to have just finished their breakfast. Xia Xun was still holding a white silk scarf in his hand, and gently wiped the corners of his mouth. Then he slowly stuffed his sleeves back.

Xia Xun turned a blind eye to the tense situation around him, and just greeted Ashikaga Yoshichi and Sibo Yishou with a smile: "Your Excellency, Your Excellency Yoshisho, Jin Xinxin Group's Huang Menneipin is fighting. It's early in the morning, what is this for? "

As soon as he saw the two, General Si Bo shouted uncontrollably: "Bold, you actually broke the agreement, used troops against the islands of Polang, Gaifeng, and Yajiao without authorization, and even sent your troops to land and fight. Now bandits are everywhere! Fleeing, making a mess everywhere, you must take responsibility for this! Take them down!"

Si Boyi gave an order, and seven or eight warriors from the Hunchback Kingdom immediately rushed up, raised their long knives and threatened them. Before the guards on Xia Xun's side had time to move, Zheng He suddenly turned around... as if on the ground A gust of whirlwind blew up, so fast that he couldn't even see his face and movements clearly, only a clear and dignified shadow rolled in front of those warriors, and the sound of clanging was endless, when Zheng He stood again at Ashikaga Yoshichi When General He Sibo was in front of him, the long knives in the hands of the seven or eight warriors were already in his hands.

Those warriors seemed to have seen a ghost, screaming strangely, not daring to advance, not daring to retreat, General Si Boyi was startled, immediately drew his sword out of its sheath, roared, and slashed at Xia Xun face to face. Come on, this knife was like a flash of lightning, but Xia Xun came first, and the long knife in Zheng He's hand had somehow fallen into his hands, and Si Boyi had just smashed into the air with all his strength, and he might not be able to bend his back and use his strength. , a knife in Xia Xun's hand had already touched his celestial spirit cover.

Xia Xun has always been obsessed with Luo Kedi's sword that wielded the power of heaven and earth. After several years of hard training, although he may not have the power of Luo Kedi's sword back then, it is more than enough to deal with the Si Boyi general in front of him.Si Boyi's whole body shook, his arms struggled, and he desperately stopped the slashing knife, his face was pale.

Ashikaga Yoshichi did not expect that these two envoys of the Ming Dynasty had terrifying martial arts. He was taken aback. He immediately took two steps back and said sternly, "You... what are you going to do? This is Japan, not you Daming, do you think you can escape our pursuit?"

Zheng He snorted coldly, threw seven or eight long knives on the ground, and made a jingle. Xia Xun turned the knife in his hand, held the tip of the knife, passed the handle over, and said with a smile: "We didn't even think about it. Escape, why do you want to escape? This is the residence arranged by your Majesty the King. I don’t know if Your Excellency General Yi can be His Majesty’s master, or if Your Excellency General can ignore His Majesty’s mission?”

The faces of Ashikaga Yoshichi and Sibo Yichang suddenly became extremely ugly. Siboyi will be reported by his subordinates, saying that the Ming army did not act according to the time agreed by the two parties, but suddenly launched an attack on the Gale and Polang Islands, Killing one by surprise, all the islands suffered heavy losses. Most of the pirates, almost all of their ships and a large amount of supplies were destroyed by the fire. A small number of pirates who escaped ashore were chased by the Ming army. Like a cat that stepped on its tail, it couldn't wait to find it.

The largest pirate gang on Duck Cay Island was actually his own, and was sent by his vassals, the Oda family, to rob merchant ships and Da Ming as pirates at his behest.Yoshimitsu Shibo is also an ambitious person. His status and reputation today are actually not as good as when the Hosokawa family was in its heyday. This is also understandable, because Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was still a child when he became a general. This auxiliary minister is like the overlord.

And who can control Ashikaga Yoshimitsu now?When he was at odds with Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and gradually turned into fire and water, he began to turn his attention to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu who was not cared for by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu. Only by helping and protecting this kid would the power of the Shibo family be more powerful. further.However, until now, Ashikaga Yoshichi, the general, has no power, no money, and no capital that can be used to buy daimyo. idea.

When Ashikaga Yoshichi heard that his source of income was destroyed, he was also furious, and without thinking about it, he followed Si Boyi to kill him. Unexpectedly, Xia Xun and Zheng He were more arrogant than them. At this moment, he calmed down a little and thought of these two people special status, and the importance Ashikaga Yoshimitsu attaches to them.Yoshimitsu Shibo's ships, cargo, and people were all destroyed, but this is a secret that cannot be made public. If Ashikaga Yoshimitsu has not yet expressed his opinion if he just violated the agreement on coordinated operations, will it be their turn to be the masters?

After figuring out the pros and cons, Ashikaga Yoshichi calmed down his anger a little, and argued: "I...have no intention of hurting the two noble envoys, but as a general, I have the right to demand that your country's army break the agreement and raise troops rashly. Make an explanation so that you can report to Father."

Xia Xun said: "Of course we will explain this matter, but because the matter is of great importance, we hope to talk to His Majesty the King!"

General Si Boyi gritted his teeth and said viciously: "Then, please invite the two noble envoys to follow me to Beishan Palace."

"No no no...

Xia Xun smiled and shook his head: "Here, I will be protected by His Majesty the General. I am not sure whether the journey to Beishan is safe. So, I decided to wait here for His Majesty the King's arrival!"

After Xia Xun finished speaking, he turned around leisurely, and Zheng He brushed off his robe slowly, and walked side by side with him.

Si Boyi gripped the handle of the knife tightly, the veins in his hand bulging, but thinking of Zheng He's ghostly skill and Xia Xun's lightning-like slash, he never dared to hand out the knife again.

At the gate of the courtyard, Xia Xun and Zheng He became very polite: "Eunuch Zheng, please!"

"No, no, please, Duke Fu!"

"Hey! Eunuch Zheng please first!"

"Associate with the Duke of the Kingdom first!"

Ashikaga Yoshichi watched the two of them put on airs, and his face turned red and white with anger. He flicked his sleeves and left angrily!Shikashi Ashikaga Yoshimitsu rushed to the Hana Palace with three officers and four posts, and together with his son, the shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, sat at the negotiating table like the Eight King Kong, Ashikaga Yoshichi and Si Bo The righteous general was full of anger, and the other ministers were also angry, but Xia Xun and Zheng He were sitting opposite each other, with calm expressions on their faces.

"Our army did not launch the attack according to the scheduled date. This, I admit! We have difficulties. Before telling our difficulties, I want to confirm, Your Majesty the King and all the adults, whether you have eradicated the pirates determination, without the intention of favoritism?"

General Si Boyi said angrily: "Your Excellency Yang Xu, what do you mean?"

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu raised his hand and said with a smile: "Of course we are determined to eradicate the pirates. Our sincerity cannot be questioned."

Xia Xun said: "Okay, I have a piece of evidence, and I would like to ask His Majesty the King and all the adults to see it, is that okay?"

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was a little curious, but he didn't ask, just nodded. Xia Xun immediately called someone to present the evidence. It was a Japanese sword. Ashikaga Yoshimitsu took the knife in his hand, looked carefully, and then pulled it out again. A sharp blade, tested the knife, inserted it back into the sheath, looked up at Xia Xun, and asked, "What does this mean?"

Xia Xun said: "This knife is a spoil of war captured in my Daming Xiangshan. It was obtained from a Japanese pirate leader. On the handle of the knife, there is the family crest of the original owner of the knife. It is near the waters of Shuangyu. The Daming Navy once fought against a relatively powerful group of Japanese pirates, and one of the warships on which the pirate leader was flying had the same flag. From this, I can be sure that they are from the same family."

The ministers hadn't looked at the knife carefully yet, and when they heard what Xia Xun said, they all curiously looked into Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's hand, only Ashikaga Yoshichi and Ushibo Yoshimitsu's expressions changed slightly.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu handed over the knife in his hand and let his subordinates check it out. He looked at Xia Xun and said, "Does this matter have anything to do with your breaking the agreement?"

Xia Xun said: "After I arrived in Kyoto, I asked people for advice, and the news I got was that this is the family crest of the Owari Guardian Oda family. I was worried that there would be pirates' eyes and ears when His Majesty the King came back, although I lied to him. Your Majesty, but I don't mean to offend you. You also said that you hope to eradicate the pirates. Jin Xinxin Group Huangmen Neipin hand-handled. So what I did is exactly what you want, Your Majesty. I want to deceive the pirates, not the pirates. you."

General Si Boyi shouted: "Presumptuous, you mean, among the people here, is there anyone who is siphoning off pirates?"

Xia Xun raised his eyelids, cast a casual glance at him, and said, "I heard that the Oda family is your Sibo family's retainers?"

"Bastard! Are you suspicious of me?" Si Boyi thumped the table and pulled it up suddenly.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu frowned slightly, and said calmly, "Louxia!"

General Si Boyi glanced at him, suppressed his anger and sat down slowly.Xia Xun said: "I received news that when the Duck Island was captured, our army captured a very important bandit leader named Oda. Your Excellency General, can you bring him to Kyoto for interrogation? Well, I think some things can be revealed!"

Sitting on the right side of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, there was a minister in his 20s, with a look of excitement on his face, and blurted out: "Minister Taizheng, I think what the envoy of the Ming Dynasty said is very reasonable. Among them, there were indeed people who tipped off the pirates that the Ming army did it cheaply, and the purpose was to fight against pirates, and they did not intend to offend your dignity. It is not appropriate to pursue this matter further.

For example, this pirate leader is an important clue. All of you here are loyal to His Excellency the Minister of the Taizheng. Of course, I don't believe that anyone will cheat on the pirates, but it is inevitable that there will be no warriors around him who make inappropriate actions. things come.This matter should be thoroughly investigated. I am willing to go for your Excellency and release this important passport back to Kyoto! "

General Si Boyi said coldly: "Manyuan Hosokawa, what do you mean, do you want to fight against me?"

Hosokawa Mitsumoto said indifferently: "I just want to dig out the people who have ties to the pirates. If Mr. Sibo thinks this is against you, does Mr. Sibo admit that he has something to do with the pirates?"

General Si Boyi was furious: "Bastard! This envoy from the Ming Dynasty kept saying that the pirate leader on Duck Island is from the Oda family. Didn't you hear that?"

He turned to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu again, and said, "Your Excellency, I think this is a conspiracy by Mingren, and we shouldn't be fooled!"

Xia Xun said: "I can't hear my one-sided remarks, and it seems that Si Bo's one-sided remarks can't be heard either? Is it a conspiracy, and Is it a matter of interrogating that important criminal?"

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu nodded calmly, and said: "Okay, first send someone to escort this pirate leader back to Kyoto, and we will talk about it after the trial."

General Si Boyi was a little anxious, and quickly said: "Your Excellency, you know that Manyuan Hosokawa has always been at odds with me, and justice cannot be guaranteed if he comes forward!"

Hosokawa Mitsumoto was about to retort Chun, but Ashikaga Yoshimitsu raised his hand to stop him. Ashikaga Yoshimitsu looked at a fifty-year-old man next to him, and said, "Tianshan-kun, then... I will leave this matter to you!"

Tian Shan Jiguo was watching a play next to him, but he was pushed on his head unexpectedly, and couldn't help complaining.However, it is the three leaders who are in charge of government affairs, and the military leaders cannot be allowed to do this.Among the three leaders, Si Boyi will be the suspect, and Hosokawa Mitsumoto has always been at odds with Si Boyi, the most suitable candidate can only be himself.

Tian Shan Jiguo agreed with a bitter taste.

Ashikaga Yoshiman glanced at Xia Xun who was facing him, a slight smile escaped from the corner of Xia Xun's mouth, and an imperceptible smile quickly passed through Ashikaga Yoshiman's eyes.

Without his cooperation, the development of the situation may not be as Xia Xun hoped, but even if he knew Xia Xun had ulterior motives, he would cooperate with Xia Xun's actions: General Si Boyi has grown enough to threaten him, Must be weakened!

More importantly, his foundation...

He wants an adopted son to inherit his inheritance, yes!But is that enough?Who in the world can understand his great ambition of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu?What he wants is not just a shogun, what he wants is to end the millennium inheritance and rule the emperor's family for thousands of generations!His son will become the new emperor of Japan, the emperor surnamed Ashikaga, and he will become the Supreme Emperor!

I don't know who will take advantage of whom.

It's just that sending the pirate leader to the capital will bring down General Sibo?This is absolutely impossible. If General Si Boyi collapsed so easily, he would have done it a long time ago, so... He is looking forward to it. He wants to see what unexpected things this Ming official can do. @.
