The Most Powerful Man in the World

Obviously, Takeda believed it or not. After all, in his opinion, it was a simple matter to kill Chu Yi and a eunuch with the joint efforts of those elite warriors.

Zhou Zhipeng snorted coldly: "Humph, a small country, arrogant!"

Seeing that Nobuyuki Takeda was about to get angry, Zhou Anmin on the side shouted at Zhou Zhipeng, "Enough! Shut me up!"

After restraining Zhou Zhipeng, Zhou Anmin said to Takeda Xinzhi: "Mr Takeda, there is no status for the child, please forgive me!"

With a cold snort, Nobuyuki Takeda sat down, while Zhou Anmin said to Zhou Zhipeng: "According to what you said, everyone who ambushed Chu Yi was killed by Chu Yi? Are there any survivors left?"

Although it was said that all the dead soldiers were sent, Zhou Anmin was also a little worried. If any of them were captured alive and they confessed to them at that time, it would really be a catastrophe.

Zhou Zhipeng shook his head and said, "Everyone was killed, and even those Dongying warriors were forced to open their abdomens to commit suicide. It is certain that no one was left alive!"

Knowing that there were no survivors left, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Even if the assassination failed, what if there wasn't a single survivor, could Chu Yi still be able to find them?

Zhou Anmin also nodded slightly and said, "Forget it, this time the steered dog has a big life. Next time we find an opportunity to set up a net to see how he escapes."

Zhou Zhipeng didn't have a hint of joy at all at this moment, and he had a face of mourning, as if the whole family was about to die. Zhou Anmin couldn't help shouting, "Why do you have a face of mourning and mourning?"

Zhou Zhipeng said in a trembling voice, "Daddy, baby... I'm guilty..."

With a thud, Zhou Zhipeng fell to his knees, hugging Zhou Anmin's thigh and weeping loudly. His reaction immediately made Zhou Anmin feel at a loss. Could it be that there is something wrong in this?

Zhou Anmin stared at Zhou Zhipeng and said, "What else are you hiding from me, tell me quickly!"

Zhou Zhipeng was kicked to the ground with one kick, and Zhou Anmin glared at him.

Zhou Zhipeng slumped in the tunnel and said, "Strong crossbow, the strong crossbow our family got from General Zhaowu..."

"What happened to the strong crossbow? You should tell me quickly!"

Just listen to Zhou Zhipeng: "The inscription on the crossbow, the boy didn't erase it!"

With a shake of his body, even Zhou Anmin, who was used to seeing wind and waves, couldn't help being shocked by Zhou Zhipeng's words and almost fainted.

Zhou Anmin, who was trembling with anger, pointed at Zhou Zhipeng for a long time and said, "You wicked son, you did a good deed, why didn't you erase the inscription before using the strong crossbow..."

Zhou Zhipeng said in a trembling voice, "Baby...Baby thinks he can shoot Chu Yi, so it doesn't matter whether the inscription is erased or not!"

"Snapped!"

Zhou Anmin slapped Zhou Zhipeng's face and slapped him and vomited blood at once, and the other patriarchs all showed the look of wanting to tear Zhou Zhipeng apart.

Don't look at the strong crossbow that several of them made up and erased the inscriptions early, but if any of them has a problem, like a grasshopper on a rope, then none of them can escape.

The eyes of several patriarchs fell on Zhou Anmin. Among them, the Zhou family was the strongest. This time, the assassination of Chu Yi was also dominated by the Zhou family.

Zhou Anmin took a deep breath to calm himself down. The worst result he could think of was just a failed assassination attempt, but who ever thought that Zhou Zhipeng would stab him with such a big basket!

"Brother Zhou, what should we do, then Chu Yi's thief will never give up. Once he finds out, everyone will die without a place to be buried!"

There was a panicked look on the face of the owner.

Zhou Anmin rubbed his forehead with one hand, and Zhou Zhipeng, who had his eyes on the ground, suddenly became unnamed, grabbed the teacup beside him and smashed it down at Zhou Zhipeng, shouting, "Get out of here!"

Zhou Zhipeng hurried out, and Takeda Nobuyuki who was sitting there sneered: "Why are you all so panic, you are just a mere director of the East Factory, it's really not good, you can go out of the city! "

Saying that, Takeda Shinzhi's eyes flashed brightly and said: "You can go to the place under the jurisdiction of my family's general on Kyushu Island, as long as you present the shipbuilding skills you have mastered, I believe that my family's general will protect you!"

Zhou Anmin appeased the other patriarchs, turned to look at Takeda Nobuyuki, and said solemnly, "Takeda-kun, can you escort our family to Kyushu Island?"

Takeda Nobuyuki's spirit was shaken and he laughed loudly: "What's the matter, I've said it before, unless it is surrounded by a large army, otherwise, a small group of people is not a problem at all."

A patriarch couldn't help but said to Zhou Anmin: "Brother Zhou, are we really going to the land of Dongying?"

Zhou Anmin said slowly: "This is just the worst plan. If the steered dog really refuses to let us go, then we will gather all the dead men and servants to rush out of Nanjing City, together with Takeda-kun's people. Take a boat out to Dongying!"

Another owner stomped his feet and said, "Okay, as Brother Zhou said, let's see if the neutered dog can find out that we are making a decision."

Takeda Nobuyuki glanced at a few patriarchs and said, "Don't worry, everyone, my general has specially sent Hattori ghosts to accompany him on this trip, and Hattori ghosts are there. If Chu Yi dares to come here in person, he will be able to easily remove them. beheaded."

It can be seen that Nobuyuki Takeda is very convinced of the strength of Hattori Onizang. Even if he knows that the elite warriors were forced by Chu Yi to commit suicide by caesarean section, he still firmly believes that Hattori Onizang can kill Chu Yi.

Zhou Anmin bowed his hands and said, "In that case, I hope it will be as Takeda-kun said!"

Zhaowu General Wu Peng is not a tough person at all. After being arrested by Shi Kui and brought back to Dongchang, he did not even have to execute him. Things were explained one by one.

It can be said that in less than half a day, Dongchang has already checked the ins and outs of the strong crossbow with the inscription.

In the study, Chu Fang presented Wu Peng's confession to Chu Yi and said, "Professor, everything has been judged, and the group of powerful crossbows should have fallen into the hands of the maritime merchant Zhou."

After a slight pause, Chu Fang said again: "The Zhou family of maritime merchants, whose ancestral home is in Dinghai County, Ningbo Prefecture, Zhejiang Province, has been a sea merchant for generations. As of Zhou Anmin's generation, the family owns dozens of ships, and among many maritime merchants, it is in the forefront. "

Chu Yi glanced at the confession, tapped lightly on the table with one hand, stood up slowly, and said with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth: "Let's get together, I will go to meet Zhou's house for a while."

Soon, a team of nearly [-] people, including the Dongchang Fanzi and the soldiers of the guardhouse, set out, and went straight to the Zhou family's mansion amid the secret peeps of countless people.

Previously, Shi Kui led the troops to take Wu Peng, the general of Zhaowu, and many people guessed that Chu Yihe was checking the flow of the strong crossbow. , how much Chu Yi attaches importance to.

Someone faintly guessed that the person who assassinated Chu Yi was the Zhou family, and couldn't help but sigh.

The Zhou family's mansion has been prepared at this moment, and it seems that nothing has changed, but in the mansion, the dead men who are kept in the house on weekdays are dressed in strong suits, armed with murder weapons, and are ready to fight.

When Zhou Anmin and several other patriarchs saw a team of soldiers and horses heading straight for the Zhou residence from a distance from the high attic, the little luck in their hearts suddenly vanished and the vicious expressions on their faces disappeared.

"God-killed castrated thief, does this have to kill us?"

"Geld, we will never catch it!"

Even if there is no way out, they will definitely give it a shot, knowing that it is the end of the family raiding and exterminating the family, not to mention that there is still a way out now.

Although it was said that they had to sacrifice their shipbuilding skills in order to seek shelter when they traveled with Nobuyuki Takeda to the East, but no matter how shipbuilding skills were the foundation of their foothold, they were nothing compared to their lives.

Takeda Nobuyuki, who was standing with Zhou Anmin and others, saw Chu Yi and his party, and his eyes couldn't help showing excitement.

Daming's shipbuilding technology can be said to be very advanced, especially with its strict external defense, and outsiders simply cannot access the secrets of shipbuilding.

Takeda Nobuyuki did not expect that this time he would have the opportunity to bring the Zhou family, a maritime merchant who has advanced shipbuilding technology, and several other maritime merchant families to Kyushu Island. Once he obtained the advanced shipbuilding technology of Ming Dynasty, his generals would definitely The strength has greatly increased, and even he will be rewarded.

Looking at the expansive mansion, Chu Yi tightened the reins, followed Chu Yi's horse, and all the soldiers behind him stood solemnly. Chu Yi waved his hand and said solemnly, "Break the door with me!"

Chapter 96 Please take care of everything! 【3 more】

Following Chu Yi's order, a dozen soldiers immediately carried a crossbar and slammed into the gate holding the fine iron.

Boom, boom, the sturdy door was suddenly dented and crumbling.

The next moment, the door collapsed and a cloud of dust was thrown. The Zhou family head and others looked blankly at Chu Yi, who was standing on horses outside the door.

The moment they saw Chu Yi, everyone's eyes were full of hatred. It was these thieves who had to stare at them to collect taxes. Is it easy for them to make some money?

Especially Chu Yi, the children of their family were taken away from the Zhulin Book Club. According to the information they inquired, Chu Yi had no plans to let them go.

Coupled with the hints of some powerful figures, under various reasons, mainly the Zhou family, several planned an ambush against Chu Yi.

Chu Yi's eyes fell on Zhou Anmin and the others, and just looking at each other, Chu Yi felt the determination of Zhou Anmin and others.

Takeda Nobuyuki was next to Zhou Anmin and the others, and his outfit could be said to be more eye-catching. Seeing Takeda Nobuyuki, Chu Yi's heart was filled with murderous intentions. As expected, these maritime businessmen really have no bottom line. even the enemy.

A few decades later, the Japanese pirates, who roamed the southeast coast and became one of the frontier troubles of the Ming Dynasty, were not led by these maritime merchants and pirates?

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, Japanese pirates were rampant, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that nine out of ten Japanese pirates who came and went freely in the prefectures and counties were not real Japanese, but these sea merchants and pirates in the Ming Dynasty colluded with real Japanese and used the banner of Japanese pirates. Erosion of coastal borders.

In the future, there is no bottom line. The Eight Great Masters of Shanxi Merchants, known as the Imperial Merchants, are descendants of the Han Dynasty, but in the midst of the national war, they only care about the selfishness of the family, seek small profits and forget the righteousness. this.

He glanced at everyone in the courtyard indifferently and waved his hand, only to hear Chu Yi say: "Take all these rebels who have colluded with Fanbang aliens, and who have no homeland to assassinate court officials, and if there are any rebels, kill them on the spot! "

A group of soldiers rushed towards the gate of the mansion with shields and guns. Unexpectedly, Chu Yi ordered them to be arrested without even giving them a chance to speak. Zhou Anmin, showing his heroic attitude at sea, roared: "Shoot me!" The bowstring sounded, and a rain of arrows shot towards the gate from all around. Even if they were prepared, the soldiers in front of them still fell to the ground with arrows.

However, with the shield in hand, and the rush of these soldiers, they rushed into the mansion in a blink of an eye, but they were greeted by a group of brutal dead soldiers.

These dead men are all daring warriors of several maritime merchants who guard the fleet. No matter which one is living on the Zhou family, it can be said that they are dependent on it. If the Zhou family is destroyed, they will certainly not. What a good ending.

Therefore, these people are all willing to fight to the death for the Zhou family. In addition to the dead men of the Zhou family, there are still several other urgently recruited personnel, adding up to hundreds of people.

Even if he had expected it long ago, Chu Yi was still amazed when he saw that several families were able to put out so many people to fight to the death.

No wonder these tyrants were so powerful in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and even gradually began to cultivate spokespersons to enter the court. With their strong financial resources, even the Donglin Party that rose later became their tools.

These brave and fearless dead men are just the tip of the iceberg of these tyrannical gentry's huge forces. The merchants who were suppressed by the Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang in the past are finally showing their fangs.

The Haoxin Group and the Literati Group, one of them died for the sake of small profits, and the other had no bottom line in their actions. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Huanghuang Daming died at the hands of these people.

Otherwise, Chongzhen would not leave his last words and sighs when he was ****: The monarch is not the monarch of the subjugated country, and the ministers are all the ministers of the subjugated country.

This is only in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. These tyrants have such power. Chu Yi can't help but secretly feel shocked when he sees it. Fortunately, in this era, although these tyrants have risen, the great Ming and his majesty are still there, which can still shock people. Losing the righteousness of the people's aspirations, he, the director of the East Factory, may really fall into the deep pool of this side of the south of the Yangtze River.

After all, the soldiers in the army are the soldiers in the army. These dead soldiers can't make up the gap between them by relying only on blood and bravery. After the initial chaos passed, under the personal command of Shi Kui, they gradually stabilized their pace, and the soldiers who formed an army formation slowly advanced. Gradually suppress all the dead.

Chu Yi walked slowly into the courtyard, Chu Fang found a Taishi chair from nowhere, Chu Yi sat down, Chu Fang and Qi Hu were lined up on the left and right.

The Zhou family head and others, who were forced to be pushed into the second courtyard, looked at the dead soldiers who were desperately resisting in the front court. The dead soldiers were struggling to the death, and they seemed to be weak, especially Chu Yi was so relaxed in the front court. Sit down, it doesn't take them to heart at all.

Zhou Anmin clenched his fists subconsciously and looked at Takeda Nobuyuki who was on the side. He took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Takeda, the castration thief Chu Yi is here, if you can kill Chu Yi here, old man. I can guarantee that I will dedicate the most advanced shipbuilding technology mastered by the Zhou family to your lord!"

Takeda Shinzhi glanced at Zhou Anmin and said, "I hope you can keep your promise!"

While speaking, Takeda Nobuyuki said respectfully, "Please also ask Hattori-kun to kill the director of the East Factory!"

The next moment, under the unbelievable gazes of the Zhou family and others, a figure suddenly appeared. This person was dressed in black, and even his hands and hair were wrapped in black, but only one pair of eyes were exposed.

Takeda Nobuyuki saw this person in awe, and bowed to the other party with great respect: "Hitbu-kun, please!"

Hattori Onizang's eyes flashed a stern look, and the figure disappeared in the next moment, which was extremely mysterious.

It seems that he noticed the horrified expressions of Zhou Anmin and the others. Takeda Shinzhi was full of pride and looked at Zhou Anmin with disdain, and then said, "Hatto-kun is one of the most powerful men in my family, proficient in ninjutsu and good at ninjutsu. The way of assassination, even if the strength is stronger than him, he cannot escape his assassination."

Speaking of which, Nobuyuki Takeda looked confidently at Chu Yi who was sitting in the front court, and said with a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "It's just a mere eunuch, but it's just a catch!"

Previously, Zhou Anmin and several people only heard Takeda Nobuyuki mention Hattori Onizo, but they have never seen it with their own eyes. They don't understand the power of Hattori Onizang, especially when they learned that the other party turned out to be a mysterious ninja in Toyo, they couldn't help but give birth. Kind of hopeful.

As a maritime businessman who has close contacts with Dongying, Zhou Anmin and the others are well aware that Dongying has a kind of mysterious powerhouse, who is highly trained in ninjutsu, and is extremely difficult to deal with, but they only heard that today is really the first time. see.

Zhou Anmin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I hope it will be as Takeda-kun said!"

Nobuyuki Takeda stroked his moustache and said, "Everyone should prepare the information on shipbuilding technology early!"

While speaking, everyone's eyes looked towards the front court.

At this moment, the vestibule has become a lot sparser. The vestibule of the Zhou family's mansion is still quite wide. However, hundreds of people from both sides poured into the vestibule at once, and it is conceivable that it must be a bit crowded.

But after the fight, a lot of people fell on both sides, especially the dead soldiers dispatched by several families have been killed and injured by now.

Standing beside Chu Yi, Qi Hu looked at the sword and sword shadow in front of him and couldn't help licking his tongue, as if eager to try, Chu Yi said: "Qi, if you are interested, you might as well stretch out your hands and feet!"

Qi Hu heard the words and shook his head: "My subordinates will not take credit for these soldiers!"

To be precise, the field is nothing but a group of ordinary people who rely only on bravery. He is a dignified master. If he starts to deal with these people, he will be a little embarrassed.
