Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 472 Ambush from All Sides
Li Yu's face was serious, and he said: "Mr. is wrong this time, they are not a few pirates, but many! According to the report from the guards, two new large ships have arrived on the beach, and there are about a hundred pirates!"

Li Canghai was startled when he heard the words, he said in amazement, "There are so many pirates?"

Li Yu nodded and said: "There are a lot of pirates. After discussing with everyone in Dongying, I plan to go back to the north of the island and leave by boat from there, so I came here to tell Miss Qing."

Li Canghai frowned, and said: "The sea area to the north of this island is full of hidden reefs, it is difficult for a large ship to sail, and I am afraid it will be difficult to leave from there."

"How do you know that it's impossible to sail there?" Li Yu asked puzzled.

Li Canghai said: "I came from the northern sea area. Small boats may be navigable in that sea area, but if it is a big ship, it is easy to run aground and sink."

Hearing this, Li Yu couldn't help being stunned for a moment, his brows were tightly furrowed, and he said, "What should I do?"

"Where are the big ships docking now?" Li Canghai asked after thinking about it.

"All the big ships are docked at the southwest beach, but if you take a big ship, you have to pass through the sea area just south of where the pirates are now. The opponent has a large number of people, and they will definitely set up a defense line in that sea area. It may not be easy to break through. It's something." Li Yu frowned and thought.

Li Canghai thought about it, and after a while, he asked, "Did those pirates attack the shrine?"

Li Yu shook his head and said: "Not yet, they seem to have just landed on the island not long ago, and they don't even know there is a shrine here."

After thinking for a while, Li Canghai said, "Since this is the case, calm down first, don't get confused, let everyone stay vigilant, and make plans after seeing the situation clearly."

Li Yu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go discuss with everyone in Dongpu right now, and let everyone stay vigilant. It's better to set up more organs to prevent pirates from sneaking in."

After Li Yu left, Li Canghai fell into deep thought.

What should come is still here.

He had known for a long time that these pirates were not ordinary trail-shearing thieves, and their target was obviously the Japanese envoys.

From chasing and killing the messenger to coming to this island, their goal has never changed.

There was no action before because those pirates had an accident, and when reinforcements arrived, they would never let the Japanese envoys leave here alive.

"If these people are from Sang Island, then their purpose is probably to prevent Datang from joining forces with Dongying. Could it be that these ronin on Sang Island are related to Dongying's rebels?" Li Canghai suddenly had a guess in his mind.

In the quiet night, Li Canghai half-lyed on the stone bed, thinking about how to deal with it.

Di Qing sat on the head of the bed, helped him massage and massage, and helped him dredge the meridians.

Suddenly, a figure flashed outside the door.

"Who?" Di Qing keenly noticed the abnormality, and immediately shouted.

The figure flashed away, and suddenly a dagger flew in from the window.

A piece of paper was inserted into the dagger, and it was stuck on the beam of the house with a bang.

After Di Qing opened the door and rushed out, the figure had long since disappeared.

Di Qing took off the dagger, handed it to Li Canghai, and then carefully guarded it with the ancient bronze sword.

Li Canghai looked at the dagger, it was a weapon from the Central Plains, he immediately felt relieved.

He unfolded the note, and after reading it carefully, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Qing'er, go and tell the prince, just say so, so that everyone gets ready." Li Canghai called Di Qing over, and then whispered in her ear.

Di Qing nodded and left the room immediately after listening.

In the early morning of the next day, a group of uninvited guests came to Amaterasu Shrine.

There were about a hundred people in this group, all of them were short in stature and vicious, not like people from the Central Plains. From the weapons they used, it was obvious that they were a group of Japanese wanderers.

"Ashigaru-sama, this is the shrine. From the information we have found out these days, the Sixth Prince and the others are in this shrine." In the camp, the pirate that Li Canghai had seen before, He pointed to the shrine and said.

The ronin called Ashgaru-sama, wearing armor and holding a steel knife, has a long scar on his cheek and looks fierce.He stared at the shrine and frowned, "Why is it so quiet in this shrine? Could it be that they had already run away when they heard the news?"

The pirate before said hurriedly: "This should not be the case. The island is surrounded by hidden reefs, and the only way to get in and out is due south. Now we have mastered this route. If they leave through this route, we can't find anything."

Nazu touched his chin lightly, thinking that it made some sense, but he couldn't help muttering in his heart when he looked at the quiet and silent shrine.

The pirate seemed to see the hesitation in Ashigaru's heart, he stared at the shrine carefully, and suddenly pointed to the back door of the shrine and said: "Master Ashigaru, look at the light smoke coming out of the backyard, they must be lighting a fire to make food At this time, they must be careless, and it is a great opportunity for us to catch them all!"

Ashgaru looked in the direction the pirate was pointing at, and sure enough, he saw light smoke curling up, and there seemed to be a little meaty smell in the air.

"You don't know you're about to die, hehehe." Ashigaru chuckled a few times, waved his right hand, and ordered: "Everyone obey the order, follow me into the shrine, capture the sixth prince and others, and everyone will be rewarded with gold!" Twelve taels! Remember, you must capture the sixth prince and princess alive, don't hurt their lives, as for the others, don't hesitate to kill them!"

When those pirates heard the words, bloodthirsty lights flashed in their eyes, they were extremely excited, and rushed into the shrine screaming.

However, when they rushed into the shrine, they found that there was no one in the shrine.

"What's going on here?" the ashigaru general asked with a frown.

The pirate was also at a loss before.

But at this moment, countless bamboo thorns flew out from the corners of the houses in the shrine. More than a dozen pirates were caught off guard and were immediately pierced by the bamboo thorns.

"No, there's an ambush!" Admiral Ashgaru suddenly roared.

At the same time, the people who had been ambushing around the shrine showed their identities one after another.

Fushimi Hirohito and Conan walked out from behind the house with gloomy faces, staring at the ronin intently.

"You traitors! When you see this prince, you kneel down and capture him!" Fushimi Hirohito shouted coldly.

General Ashgaru looked at Fushimi Hirohito cautiously, rolled his eyes, and immediately shouted: "Your Highness Sixth Prince, why do you want to collude with the Tang Dynasty and kill people in your own country?"

"Hmph, you traitors, how dare you claim to be from your own country? Tell me, why do you know the route of the envoys? Why did you come to trouble me?" Fushimi Hirohito shouted angrily in a low voice.

When things got to this point, Admiral Ashgaru knew that it was useless to deny it, so he simply smiled and said, "Why does His Highness the Sixth Prince ask knowingly? I should have resolved the civil strife in Dongpu by myself, but the Sixth Prince wanted to ask for help from other countries. Isn't it an act of treason? The sixth prince of Dongying, who has done such a thing, we, as righteous men of Dongying, will naturally do our best to prevent the sixth prince from embarking on this treacherous road of no return."
