Chapter 134 Dongchang Mercenary

Bao'er: Raphael, Ningbo has been besieged by Japanese pirates.

After a while...

Rafael: Black question mark, you are crazy, more than 100 people dare to attack Ningbo City?

Baoer: ...

Rafael: Do you mean that there are Japanese pirates besieging Ningbo City where you are?
Boa: That's right.

Rafael: Impossible. During this period of time, for the purpose of training artillery, we have sealed off the shipping routes of Kyushu and Shikoku, so that pirates have been afraid to leave the port for half a month.Are you sure what you encountered was a real Japanese pirate, not a pirate from the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang?
Bao'er: I'm only sure that someone attacked Ningbo, but I'm not sure if it was a real Japanese.

It has been a while since Bao'er's message was sent out, but Raphael's reply was delayed. After about 5 or 6 minutes, Rafael sent another message.

Raphael: What a bad thing!Today, Dongbao's spice ship docked. I guess these people are going for those spice ships!Governor, do your brother a favor and kill these damned robbers.By the way, let's find out which unsightly pirate planned this matter, our Dongbao must make them pay some price, right!
Bao'er: I'll let you know the result.

Back in reality, Liu Hao guessed that the warriors present were going to ask him for the weapons that had been locked in the warehouse, but he replied in embarrassment: "This is not in line with the rules of the imperial court. Forgive me for not being able to..."

But before Liu Hao finished speaking, the prisoner was knocked away from the outside again.I saw a few Dongchang fans in brown clothes and pointed hats stumbling and hurried into the prison.

"Report to everyone, the garrison outside Ningbo City has collapsed! The watchtower reports that a large number of defeated troops are rushing towards Ningbo City"

"Collapsed? Thousands of people just collapsed like this?" Shibosi's father-in-law jumped up from his chair, "Are the Ningbo Beiwosi and the guards raising soldiers who grew up on food?"

isn't it?Otherwise, why were hundreds of them hacked by one person chasing them a few days ago?

With his hand trembling with anger from the deserters, the father-in-law took out a small ivory white sign from his pocket.Baoer almost didn't laugh when he saw the brand, because Baoer also has this brand, but Baoer's is Baihu tooth brand, while this father-in-law's is Taitou tooth brand.

Well, if Bao'er dared to show his tooth card at this time, the father-in-law would probably have to kneel down to Bao'er on the spot!After all, a young man under the age of 20 can get Dongchang's Hundred Household Tooth Card. This kind of person either has a strong relationship, or a high ability, or both.Of course, Boa clearly belongs to the last category.

It's a pity, although Baoer's heart is itching, but at this time he must not reveal any connection with Dongchang.

"Our family is the head of the East Factory stationed in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and is in charge of the affairs of the East Factory in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Now, with the permission of the imperial power, our family has enlisted the envoys of the Dongying Mission to guard Ningbo together with my father-in-law. Regardless of the success or failure of the final defense of the city, it is all important. Reward you with meritorious officials, do you all agree?"

It's just that even if Bao'er translated her father-in-law's words to the two heads of the mission, neither Hosokawa Fujitaka nor Soshiki Kenmichi knew what the so-called "Dongchang" was for, nor did they know what the "stall head" was. What big official, can you control yourself?Therefore, the two of them cast inquiring glances at Bao'er.

"Dongchang is equivalent to Emperor Dameng's exclusive ninja group and mother-in-law group. It is an elite army that only obeys the emperor's orders. The elite who kill people do not need to be judged!"

"Oh!" The two pouted their mouths and made a long series of "o" sounds in surprise.

"If this matter is done well, not only will our suspicion be cleared, but we will also receive a special award from the imperial court."

"Award?"

"It's money!" Bao'er confirmed.

So after the members of the two missions unanimously agreed, the two sides hit it off, and the identity of the members of the missions also turned into a special mercenary force of Dongchang.At this moment, whether it is the Hosokawa family or the Ouchi family, the samurai of the two families will no longer see the confrontation of the previous few days, but they are united in order to return to Japan alive.

"Master Liu, should we return our weapons this time?"

"This..." Liu Hao still hesitated.

"Master Sicheng." The father-in-law also said: "Give our family a face and return the weapons to them, otherwise once the city is broken, even if we don't die in the hands of the Japanese pirates, we will die under the imperial court's knife." !"

At this point, Liu Hao had no choice but to grit his teeth, turn around and walk out of the prison.After walking a few steps, he saw that the people behind were still in a daze, so he turned around and said, "What are you waiting for? Aren't you going to follow me to get your weapons?"

As a result, the warriors rushed out following Master Liu's footsteps, leaving only the original prisoners, jailers, shopkeeper and fellows of Wanghailou in the prison.

"Shopkeeper, you said that the little evil star has already left, so is it safe for us to stay in this prison?"

"Safe, why isn't it safe?" The fat shopkeeper said confidently, "It's because the little evil star led the Dongying people out to hunt down Japanese pirates, so we will be safer staying here!"

When they arrived at Honglu Temple, all the warriors retrieved their weapons one after another. During this period, there was no bloody story similar to the loss of weapons in the warehouse for no reason. Even Bao'er "retrieved" his descendant III, Guiche.But Si Cheng Liu Hao, who inspected the warehouse every day, clearly remembered that among the weapons he was responsible for guarding, there had never been such a unique long knife like Baoer's waist.

Liu Hao didn't dare to ask, he knew that there was a [-]% chance that Yui Kujo, the interpreter of the shogun's family, always hid his weapons.However, there are too many secrets in this person, so many that even he is like a collection of secrets, so he is too much to talk about, so Liu Hao resolutely chooses to forget this matter to the back of his mind.Now defending the city against the Japanese is their top priority.

After getting the weapon, Bao'er turned around and walked to the Ouchi family's team, asking if there were long-range weapons such as bows and arrows among the items they carried.

Zong She nodded modestly and said, "One is enough for everyone!"

"Okay! In order for us to leave the Central Plains alive, everyone might as well take some bows and arrows from the tribute, otherwise our battle will be very difficult..."

Zong Sheqian nodded again, agreeing to Bao'er's suggestion.But when Liu Hao, the Prime Minister of Honglu Temple, brought Hosokawa and Ouchi to the warehouse where the tribute was stored, everyone was stunned, because the door had already been opened, and the room was already empty!

"How is this possible!" Liu Hao's scalp finally exploded at this moment. In a panic, he stared straight at the empty warehouse, and murmured: "This is impossible...I just checked at noon. Passing here...everything is there...it's impossible...it's impossible for me, Liu Hao, to make such a low-level mistake..."

"Unless someone knows that we will not only be unable to complete the tribute, but will even be decapitated!" Bao'er said with a contemptuous smile, "Otherwise, who would have the guts to snatch the tribute from the Japanese mission?"

"Master Kujo, what do you mean..." Hosokawa Fujitaka also became uneasy.

"Let me tell you one more thing. As early as the tribute ship of my general's mansion left the Maguan Strait, Toho's warships began to wipe out pirates on a large scale in Kyushu and Shikoku. Then, you still think that attacking Are the thieves in Ningbo City Japanese pirates from Japan?"

"This……"

Everyone was speechless for a moment.

"Look at this empty warehouse again. I'm afraid that some powerful person in Ningbo City has made a budget and we can't go north alive. That's why we became greedy and took away our things in advance before we died. , in order to prevent being preempted by others in the so-called Japanese invasion.”

Hearing this, the father-in-law of Dongchang grabbed Bao'er's skirt and asked sharply: "Girl, what do you mean, not only may the Japanese rebellion not be caused by Japanese pirates, but someone may even be involved with them?" Cooperating with the inside and the outside, slaughtering the people of the country?"

Bao'er did not knock off her father-in-law's hand, but continued to say calmly: "Look, I just said a few words casually, and you have connected everything together! And if you think about it again, today's Jiangxia Port Is there any valuable item arriving?"

"Spice ship!" But then, the father-in-law became suspicious of Bao'er again, and he asked Bao'er again: "Then how did you know that there will be a spice ship calling at the port today?"

Seeing this, Ryoma, who has thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a dignified appearance, but who has always been talking, finally stood up and explained for Bao'er: "This lord doesn't know, this lord Yui Kujo is actually a stockholder of the Dongbao Chamber of Commerce." ……share……"

"Shareholders!" Bao'er added.

"Yes, he is one of the shareholders, so he will know the port time of the Dongbao fleet as a matter of course!"

However, the father-in-law obviously didn't understand what a "shareholder" was.

"It's the investor!" Bao'er also smiled and asked her father-in-law, "So, if you dare to ask my father-in-law, will I hire someone to rob my own goods?" He clasped his hand on the lapel of his shirt, patted his father-in-law on the shoulder and said, "Since our things are gone, can you take us to see the arsenal of the garrison? With a samurai sword, go fight those fake Japanese pirates!"

So, the father-in-law gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and led a group of warriors towards the arsenal of the defenders.
