Wang Baocai said with a sinister smile: "Yes, when the general was still in Japan, the lord whom the general protected was often at war with several surrounding daimyo. At that time, the lord had more than forty warriors under his command, and he was considered a relatively powerful prince.
,but……"
Gongsun Qing could hardly believe his ears and said in a loss of voice: "How many warriors did you say?"
"More than forty."
Gongsun Qing thought for a while and suddenly said: "Oh, more than forty generals? They can indeed be considered a tyrant."
Wang Baocai shook his head and said: "No, no, no, they are more than forty warriors, uh... that is, warriors."
Gongsun Qing touched his nose and stopped talking.
Wang Baocai smiled dryly and said: "Our place can't be compared with China. The most powerful daimyo in that area only has more than sixty subordinates."
Gongsun Qing rolled his eyes and thought to himself: "What a shame. We call him a bandit here, and all bandits are considered weak."
He didn't know that in Japan at that time, a daimyo had dozens of samurai under his command, which had indeed reached the limit of his financial support. Even if five hundred years later, in a very large war there, the force mobilized by the two daimyo would be no more than
There were about a thousand people. However, he was just a scholar, so he could only make a simple analogy based on the number of people. Who knew that more than six hundred years later, when Nurhachi first raised his army, he only had less than a hundred soldiers and only thirteen armors.
In the end, he was able to achieve great martial arts skills.
Wang Baocai said: "My lord wanted to expand his military force, but his financial resources were limited. At that time, there was a huge temple nearby, which was very popular and very rich. My lord then came up with his idea, but the abbot hid the treasure very much.
Secretly, monks are very respected in our place, and my lord couldn't blackmail him by force, so he came up with a plan and sent a ninja. This ninja was young and beautiful, good at singing and dancing. He disguised himself as a servant and went to the temple. Soon
He became the favorite male favorite of the high-ranking monks, who all asked him to sleep with him. So he took advantage of the jealousy between the chief and the deputy chiefs to cleverly obtain the hiding place of the wealth. As a result, without anyone noticing...hehehehehe...
"
When Gongsun Qing heard this, he was really angry from the heart, and evil grew in his courage. He shouted angrily: "You are really stupid. Do you think Yang Hao is as good as Long Yang?"
Wang Baocai said politely: "I just want to say that things that are difficult to achieve with force can sometimes be achieved easily with color."
Gongsun Qing spread his hands and said: "But... where can I find a female assassin all of a sudden? She has to be young and beautiful?"
He rolled his eyes and said: "The maid Zhu Yun next to Yang Hao is a pretty lady. If she wants to impress him, this female assassin must be at least a little more beautiful than that Zhu Yun."
.”
Wang Baocai said: "In my homeland, there are many such ninjas, but for a while, the general has no place to find a suitable candidate, but... we can make some changes, hehehehehe..."
Gongsun Qing muttered: "Well, if you can kill him without arousing suspicion, that would be the best. Anyway, you are responsible for the specific assassination method, so you can go ahead and do it. However, I remind you that Yang Hao will leave soon."
Once the place we can control enters the northwest sphere of influence, it will be more difficult to attack. If this assassination fails..."
He frowned and said with murderous intent: "Then take action on the way and kill them all. But in this case, your subordinates will also have to be killed with poison, and no one will be left alive."
Wang Baocai paused and said: "The general will finally understand."
In Yang Hao's room, Li Qingfeng and Yang Hao were sitting across from each other. In the outside room, Miss Zhuyun was sitting there cutely, with a red embroidery on her hand. Looking at her quiet and elegant appearance, it was hard to believe that she was a murderer without blinking an eye.
The heroine. She lowered her head to embroider flowers, but her ears were keenly aware of all the movements around her.
The original name of ninjutsu was the art of invisibility. Although not all of Wang Shoucai's subordinates were ninjas, there were many capable men and strangers among them who were accustomed to lurking and hiding. Naturally, she did not dare to be careless.
"Lieutenant, we will arrive at Jiangzhou City tomorrow. If we go further, we will enter Fuzhou's sphere of influence. I think they are very incompetent and are ready to take risks. Just in case, we have to strike first."
Yang Hao nodded and said, "Are you planning to start in Jiangzhou?"
Li Qingfeng nodded slightly: "If you take action in front of others, you should avoid responsibility. For such a major matter as the assassination of the prince of the dynasty, I believe that not many people will receive the order. Judging from the situation during this period, there should be only two people, Gongsun Qing and Wang Shoucai."
I personally know that if these two people are restrained, others will not have anything to worry about."
Yang Hao nodded and said: "They are the edicts, so we can't kill them all. I can't go back to Luzhou to convey the edict to the current magistrate Zhang Jizu, right?"
Li Qingfeng smiled slightly and said: "Okay, then kill Wang Baocai and control Gongsun Qing. When we enter the northwest, they will no longer be able to play any tricks."
Yang Hao agreed, but felt a little worried and said: "You guys have all seen them face to face. Is it convenient for you to do it in front of everyone?"
Li Qingfeng smiled and said: "Don't worry, Lieutenant, we still have manpower in secret."
Yang Haodao: "I know this, otherwise where did the people who 'assassinated' me all the way come from? It's just...as soon as you enter Jiangzhou, the local officials of Jiangzhou will come to greet you. Do your people have a chance to get close to them?"
Li Qingfeng smiled and said: "If you were elsewhere, you might not have a chance, but in Jiangzhou, there is no problem."
Yang Hao looked at his expression and suddenly thought of Li Tingfeng, who was an official in the Tang Dynasty. Jiangzhou City is located at the junction of the northwest and the Central Plains. It is a key place for the exchange of information. It is expected that they must have infiltrated people into the local government.
, so he didn’t ask any more questions. He just nodded slightly and said, “That’s very good. Just let Brother Li arrange everything.”
Jiangzhou is bordered by Luliang Mountain to the north and Emei Mountains to the south. The Fen and Hui rivers pass through it. It has a long history. It was the capital of Jin during the Spring and Autumn Period and belonged to the Wei State during the Warring States Period. This is a "Cow City" with only the north and south sides.
There are two city gates: the mouth in the south is the buttocks in the north, the east and west Tianchi are the eyes of the cow, the corner towers are the horns of the cow, the only north-south street is the spine of the cow, and the dozens of lanes on the left and right are the ribs. The pagoda built in the Tang Dynasty is
The oxtail is gone.
As soon as Taiwei Yang arrived, Xiao Yuesheng, the prefect of Jiangzhou, led local officials to welcome Yang Hao out of the city and invited Yang Hao into the state government to entertain guests. The Jiangzhou government office is the largest lobby among all the government offices in the world.
Built in the Tang Dynasty, it was once the palace of Zhang Shigui, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty. It is five rooms deep and seven rooms wide, making it very majestic.
Yang Hao met with the officials of the prefecture, and after exchanging pleasantries, he was personally led by Magistrate Xiao to stay in Sui Garden. Sui Garden was built in the 16th year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign in the Sui Dynasty. It is also known as Lotus Pond, Garden Pond, and Scenery.
Beautiful and elegant, it is the only official garden in the area. It is usually a place where local bureaucrats, scholar-bureaucrats, their wives and children play.
When Yang Hao arrived at the Sui Garden, he saw only bamboos, trees, flowers, willows, pavilions and marshes. It was a natural landscape garden based on the original landform. The pavilions, pavilions, pavilions and verandas in the garden were scattered among the trees. Water poured into the garden from the northwest, forming a hanging
The waterfall sprays beads and splashes jade. There is a Ziwu Bridge in the pool that connects the north and south. There is also a pavilion in the bridge called the Huilian Pavilion, which stands tall and looks like a mirage from a distance. The grass, roses, green vines and red thorns on the edge of the pool complement each other.
Cheng Hui.
The south of the pool is a pavilion in the shape of a well, surrounded by a wooden corridor with straight lattice windows. The "Xiang Pavilion" stands in the middle and is connected to the bedroom arranged for him. In the southwest of the pool, there is a "Hubao Gate" that leads directly to the lobby of the state government.
On the left wall of the Leopard Gate is a picture of tigers and wild boars fighting, and on the right wall is a picture of barbarians training leopards. The scenery is quite elegant.
Xiao Yuesheng sent Yang Hao to the Xiangting Pavilion and said with a smile: "The Taiwei has come a long way and has worked hard. Please take a break. At noon, the lower officials will meet with my colleagues in the mansion to hold a banquet to welcome the Taiwei."
"Youlaofutai."
Yang Hao sent Magistrate Xiao out, turned around and glanced at the steward Li Qingfeng who was accompanying him. Li Qingfeng nodded slightly, Yang Hao smiled faintly, and walked towards the Xiang Pavilion.
The reception banquet was held in the corridor of the Sui Garden. Xiao Yuesheng, Yang Hao, Gongsun Qing, and Wang Baocai were sitting at the head table. Lined up on the left and right, there were some senior officials, gentry and celebrities from Jiangzhou Prefecture. The guests and hosts were enjoying themselves, and they were enjoying each other.
Each one is accompanied by a courtesan with enchanting appearance and eloquent speech, and there is also Sizhu Yale in front.
There are no visitors allowed in the courtyard, but there are many public servants patrolling around, so many tourists consciously avoid it and do not come forward to harass.
The guests and guests were drinking and drinking, when suddenly there was a shout from the side. Yang Hao looked up and saw a girl in a Su Luo shirt falling to the ground, her hands groping left and right in a panic.
He picked up a flute pipe and a bamboo pole and got up.
Opposite the gallery where the banquet was held, several tourists who looked like scholars were watching Yang Hao's movements. At this time, they also looked over there. In front of the girl, a government official stood and shouted in a vicious manner:
"Go away, go away, you can break in here too."
The young girl said in panic: "My family only plays music and sings songs in this garden, and I accept a few coins from the masters to live on. Why did this master drive me away?"
Yang Hao looked from a distance and saw that this girl was dressed in shabby clothes, had a delicate appearance, her eyes were unfocused, and she looked around blankly. She was actually a little mute girl. A girl with a delicate appearance and a pitiable background would easily arouse the sympathy and care of men, but this blind girl
, her pitiful appearance was particularly touching. Her appearance was not stunning, but the pitiful look she showed was the most touching. The ferocious man couldn't bear to push her away when he saw her look like this.
.
Seeing her lovable look like a frightened little rabbit, Magistrate Xiao couldn't help but feel pity for her, and hurriedly said: "She is just a poor blind girl, why should you scare her and treat her kindly?"
Leave and don't disturb Taiwei Yaxing."
The girl listened attentively and already knew the reason. She bowed to the voice and said timidly: "I don't know that you gentlemen are having a banquet here. I have offended you, so I will stay away from you."
The bamboo pole in her hand hit the ground in panic, and she almost fell down because she was so eager to leave.
Seeing how pitiful this girl was, Yang Hao felt pity for her and said, "I occasionally listen to country slang, and I think it has a unique flavor. Why don't you invite this girl to come in and play a tune for me and all your gentlemen?"
To help you get drunk."
As soon as Magistrate Xiao heard the Taiwei's words, he quickly agreed and helped the blind girl in.
"Thank you all, sir. I wonder what music you would like to hear." As soon as the blind girl entered the corridor, she bowed and apologized. Her voice was soft and crisp, which made people feel more fond of her.
Yang Hao raised his cup, turned it gently and said with a smile: "I wonder what songs the girl can play?"
The blind girl timidly said: "The slave family will "Plum Blossom Yin", "Great Chanyu", "Little Chanyu", "Big Plum Blossom", "Little Plum Blossom", "Xu Duo"..."
Yang Hao's eyes flashed and he suddenly asked: "You said..."Xu Duo"?"
"Yes, sir, have you ever heard of this piece of music?"
Yang Hao narrowed his eyes, stared at the blind girl in front of him, smiled strangely, and said: "Yes, I...have heard this piece of music, then...please ask the girl to play "Xu Duo" for us.
Bar."
"yes!"
The blind girl agreed and played the flute with her lips. A mellow, soft, deep and implicit sound, an ethereal and elegant voice floated out faintly. Yang Hao breathed a sigh of relief and closed his eyes. Magistrate Xiao waited until he saw Lord Taiwei.
I was so entranced that I stopped talking and laughing when I was busy, and listened attentively.
The faint sound of the flute sounded in his ears, and at the same time, it was Liu Duo'er's voice that sounded in his mind: "Sir, this is not a flute. To be precise, it should be called the shakuhachi. The shakuhachi comes from the Qiang flute and has nothing to do with the flute.
Big difference. But it is rare in the Central Plains. I heard from overseas wealthy businessmen that Japan sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty to
After Zhongtu learned the shakuhachi, it became very popular in Japan. It is said that one of their princes loved the shakuhachi and played it every day without leaving his body. However, most of the songs they circulated were passed down from the Tang Dynasty, such as "Big Plum Blossom"
Immediately, he remembered a conversation with Fukuda Sayuri, the wife of Zhang Xinglongru, the leader of the Bianhe Gang.
"Mrs. Zhang..."
"You must not be a slave. My wife is the Zhang family. If I hear you address me like this, I will definitely punish you. I am just a concubine of your husband. Please just call me by my first name."
"Oh, Mrs. Sayuri, was it the song "Void Bell" that you just played?"
"Your Excellency, have you ever heard of this piece of music? Oh, yes, this piece of music was originally introduced to Japan from the Central Plains, so of course you have heard of it. However, in our place, this piece of music is not called "Xu Ling", but "Xu Ling".
"Xuduo", I heard that it was originally a piece of Buddhist music. The slaves missed their homeland and occasionally played it, not wanting to disturb the adults..."
""Xu Duo"..., "Xu Ling"..."
There was a sarcastic smile on Yang Hao's lips: "I didn't expect that I slept in flowers and willows in Bianliang, indulged in sex, and defiled myself. Not only did I save one life from Zhao Guan's family, but with this messy knowledge of romance, I almost saved another life today.
I returned home and lost my life. "Xu Ling", hey, can you become a Buddha with just one note? However, although I am going to the west, I have no intention of becoming a Buddha!"
