Chapter 849 [Unification of Ryukyu, overseas return] Six
The next day, Mu Linfeng came to the door of Zheng Mansion again and informed Li Kuiqi and others that their request was ready. Li Kuiqi held Nanasaemon hostage, pointed a gun at Nanasaemon's head, and went out and said to Mu Linfeng:
"Prepare ten carriages for us, and whenever we see a soldier along the way, we will kill one of them!"
When Mu Linfeng heard this, his heart moved, but his face calmly agreed to Li Kuiqi's request. Then he asked all the soldiers in Chiayi City to push aside, prepared a carriage for Li Kuiqi, and drove it to the gate of Zheng Mansion. Mu Linfeng stood there
Waiting outside the gate of Chiayi City...
Half an hour later, Mu Linfeng saw ten carriages coming out of Chiayi City. Mu Linfeng only brought two thousand soldiers with him to guide Li Kuiqi's convoy. On the road, Mu Linfeng's two thousand soldiers came out. Sure enough,
Not a single soldier in sight.
Mu Linfeng followed Li Kuiqi's carriage on horseback. He was not afraid that Li Kuiqi would do anything bad to him. He believed that Li Kuiqi should know that if anything happened to Mu Linfeng, it would be impossible for any of them to leave Ryukyu Island alive.
of.
Mu Linfeng glanced back at the motorcade behind him, and then said to Li Kuiqi: "Can you let me take a look at the people in the car?"
Li Kuiqi smiled at this time and said: "Prince Mu is indeed careful, but Li thinks that the prince is too cautious. If the hostages are not here, wouldn't Li be a sheep in a tiger's mouth?"
After Li Kuiqi finished speaking, he opened the car curtain behind him. Mu Linfeng took a closer look and saw Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Chenggong, Nanasaemon and Zheng Zhibao sitting in the car. Zheng Zhilong glanced at Mu Linfeng and immediately turned around.
Zheng Chenggong turned his head and winked at Mu Linfeng. He didn't know what it meant. Zheng Zhibao looked at Mu Linfeng with a relatively calm expression.
Li Kuiqi immediately put down the curtain, turned to Mu Linfeng and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to check them one by one?"
Mu Linfeng really wanted to check, but if he did, it would definitely arouse Li Kuiqi's suspicion. But if he didn't check clearly, how would he know who was in the carriage? By then, he had gone outside the port.
How to act in an ambush circle?
Mu Linfeng inadvertently touched the Thousand-Armed Guanyin on his sleeves, thinking that it would be easy to defeat Li Kuiqi now. If so, Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Chenggong, Nanasaemon and Zheng Zhibao could be saved immediately. To be honest, besides Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Chenggong
Outside Qizaowei's door, Mu Linfeng didn't care too much whether the others could be saved or not.
But what did Zheng Chenggong mean by winking at me just now? What did he want to say to him? Mu Linfeng couldn't figure it out. He hesitated all the way whether to take action or not. In the end, he decided not to take action for the time being just in case.
..
After traveling more than half the distance, Mu Linfeng saw a person walking out of the carriage behind Li Kuiqi. He was dressed in light yellow clothes. Mu Linfeng recognized Chen Weiwen at a glance. Chen Weiwen also saw Mu Linfeng, but looked at Mu Linfeng coldly.
He smiled coldly, then sat down next to the coachman, took out the kettle, and drank water.
After Mu Linfeng glanced at Chen Weiwen, he thought to himself: "The one I want to kill when the time comes is you, kid. I told you to be arrogant now and not take me seriously!"
Soon the group will arrive at the port, Mu Linfeng thought in his mind, now that everyone is in the carriage, even if the marksmanship of those sharpshooters is accurate, it is impossible to hit them from across the carriage.
Mu Linfeng thought of this and immediately said to Li Kuiqi: "We are still three miles away from the port. You must release the people as promised by then!"
Li Kuiqi laughed when he heard this and said: "Prince Mu, we are all men who come out to fool around. We pay the most attention to our promises. As long as we go to sea smoothly, we will naturally release them. At that time, the prince can follow a small boat behind the armored ship and we go to sea.
, see that no warships are coming, release them immediately!"
When Mu Linfeng heard this, he secretly thought, "Shit, didn't you guys also be friends with Zheng Zhilong in the past? Now, for the sake of profit, haven't you betrayed Zheng Zhilong?" When Mu Linfeng thought of this, his heart suddenly moved, secretly thinking, something is wrong, these people are all friends with Zheng Zhilong, why?
Maybe you just fall out? And it’s just over a question of whether to surrender or not?
The more Mu Linfeng thought about it, the more strange he felt. Although Mu Linfeng didn't know much about the depth of the relationship between Zheng Zhilong and Li Kuiqi, he also knew that in this era, the literati were the most honest and the warriors were the most loyal. Unlike later generations, it was impossible.
For such a small thing, he casually put aside many years of friendship and immediately fell out. Is there some conspiracy in this?
Mu Linfeng secretly thought, if Zheng Zhilong felt that he was determined not to escape from Ryukyu Island this time, so he conspired with Li Kuiqi and the others to sing such a song, using Li Kuiqi to take him as a hostage, take him out of Ryukyu Island, and then go to Nanyang,
So this is definitely the best idea for a golden cicada to escape from its shell. As long as Li Kuiqi can take them on the armored ship, then Zheng Zhilong can't decide whether to let them go or not...
But Mu Linfeng thought again, if this is the case, there are still many things that are not consistent with common sense. What happened to Chen Hui's death? Fake death? No, after entering Chiayi City, Mu Linfeng went out of his way to collect Chen Hui's head.
Level, that is definitely Chen Hui. Could it be that Chen Hui sacrificed his life to win Mu Linfeng's trust?
Even if Chen Hui's death was just to gain his trust, then why did they let Zheng Xiyu and Tagawa Song go? If that was really the plan, they should not have let go of any "hostages". That would be the safest thing...
Mu Linfeng was deep in thought all the way, and unknowingly he was getting closer and closer to the ambush circle set by Long Qingyun. Mu Linfeng's heart moved at this moment, and he said: "Yes, if they went to sea smoothly, if I hadn't thought of this
As for the conspiracy, one of Zheng Xiyu and Tagawa Song is his mother-in-law, and the other is his sister-in-law. I will definitely not find someone to keep an eye on them. When the time comes, they will just send someone back to ask Tagawa Song and Zheng Xiyu to be picked up.
Mu Linfeng even thought that maybe Tian Chuansong and Zheng Xiyu didn't know about this plan at all, and since both of them were women, there would definitely be a lot of inconvenience in escaping. It would be better to just "entrust" it to Mu Linfeng's care, and wait for them to settle down, then
Contact Tagawamatsu.
The more Mu Linfeng thought about it, the more it seemed possible. He couldn't help but feel a cold feeling on the back of his neck. He immediately thought of Yang Geng again. Mu Linfeng secretly said: "If all this is a game, then Yang Geng is just a chess piece. He
Now that I am in my own residence in the north, it should be impossible to harm Lianxiang and the children, but if I want to take them away..."
Mu Linfeng felt colder and colder in his heart when he thought of this. He didn't know what to do for a moment. He only blamed himself for not thinking carefully before.
At this moment, Li Kuiqi said to Mu Linfeng on the carriage: "Your Majesty, is the port ahead of you?"
Mu Linfeng raised his head and looked ahead. The silhouette of the armored ship on the seaside was clearly visible. It was only more than a mile away from the port. Mu Linfeng glanced at the environment to his left and right. There were two articles on both sides of the road.
The people who believe in Long Qingyun are hiding in the bushes...
Mu Linfeng was thinking at this time that if his idea was correct, he could catch them all at this moment. However, if he guessed wrong and acted rashly, he would only be able to scare the snake and accidentally hurt Zheng Zhilong and the others.
At this moment, Mu Linfeng suddenly remembered the color Zheng Chenggong used for himself. His eyes kept glancing to the left, and the person sitting to the left of Zheng Chenggong was Zheng Zhibao. Mu Linfeng was confused again. What did this mean? Could it be that Zheng Zhibao had something to do with it?
question?
The carriage slowly headed towards the port. Sweat was already dripping from Mu Linfeng's forehead. He could no longer think of how to solve the problem. It seemed that the only way to solve the problem was at sea.
Mu Linfeng's heart suddenly moved, and he immediately waved his hand and said loudly: "Stop!"
Hearing this, the grooms reined in their reins one after another, and the group stopped immediately. Li Kuiqi jumped out of the carriage and asked Mu Linfeng, "Prince Mu, what do you mean? There is a port in front of you. Do you want to regret it?"
"
Mu Linfeng also jumped off his horse at this time, walked to Li Kuiqi, and whispered: "Didn't you notice that there seems to be an ambush around here?"
Li Kuiqi's heart moved when he heard this, and he quickly looked to both sides, only to see no one in the bushes on both sides. Then he said to Mu Linfeng: "Your Majesty, are you suspicious? Now the entire Ryukyu Island is your territory, Your Majesty."
, where could there be any ambush? Even if there is, it can only be set by you, the prince, right?"
When Li Kuiqi said this, he immediately got into the carriage again, opened the curtain, turned to Mu Linfeng and said, "My lord, don't play any tricks. The lives of my father-in-law, brother-in-law, and brother-in-law are all in your hands!"
As he spoke, he took out the gun, picked up Nanasaemon, and pointed the gun at Nanasaemon's head. Nanasaemon suddenly started crying in fright.
Mu Linfeng hadn't spoken yet, but he heard Zheng Chenggong shouting from inside the car: "Don't hurt Weimen..." He was about to rush out.
Li Kuiqi immediately shouted: "If you come out, your brother's life will be lost immediately..." He tightened the gun in his hand.
