It was raining again. The misty and rainy Jiangnan water town is beautiful, but Orishimiko and others are suffering at this moment. More than a dozen people are curled up in the grass on the riverside, like a group of homeless chickens. The only thing that is fortunate is that the temperature is not cold now.

As the saying goes, the King of Hell has to pay back quickly. On the 27th, Miko Orishinobu set up a trap to ambush Wang Lin'er, but in the evening that day he was ambushed by Xie Erjian. More than 130 people were almost lost. He hid and hid for two days. There were only fifteen people left, which was not ordinary sadness.

"Baga, we should have followed Miss Miko's words at the beginning. Those who abandoned the ship and took the land were all you self-righteous idiots." Ouchi Soushiro stared at Chen Dong and scolded angrily, obviously feeling a little out of control.

It's no wonder that at the beginning of this year, the Da Nei Sect set up a commander to make a fortune in the Ming Dynasty, but as soon as he landed, he met Xu Jin and left nearly a hundred corpses and a big ship and fled. Then he was fooled by Monk Pujing to attack Dongtai County. In the end, he didn't get any benefits. The only few dozen younger brothers and a big ship were caught in. Now he is still in danger, so it's normal for him to lose control of his emotions.

Miko Orishinomiko didn't say anything, but just curled up to watch coldly, her wet clothes pressed against her body, and her waist and hips were outlined with amazing curves, but no one was interested in appreciating it at this moment, because everyone's intestines were burning like fire, and no matter how beautiful the butt was, it was not as attractive as a steamed bun.

Chen Dong was also very upset at this moment, but it was impossible to admit his mistake. He red-faced and retorted: "Ouchi Sect, let's not say your mother's fart. At that time, you agreed to go on the water route. Hosokawa Takeshu also agreed. Now he is ambushed on the damn weird guy?"

The Da Nei Sect had red eyes and pointed at the monk Pujing cursed: "If you hadn't been the bald thief who deceived me to join, how could I have ended up in this field now!"

"You can only blame yourself for being too greedy." Monk Pujing said lightly.

"Baga!" The Danui Sect broke out, jumped up, and pulled out the Japanese sword.

Monk Pujing did not move, but just lifted the crossbow that had been stringed. The bow string made of silk is different from beef tendons, and it would not have much impact even on rainy days.

The pupils of the Oui Sect immediately shrank. There was no way to avoid such a close-range crossbow arrow, but at this time he was a little embarrassed to get into the sheath. It was obviously a shame to bow his head and surrender.

Takeshu Hosokawa did not come forward to smooth things over, but looked at him coldly. He originally wanted to kill Danue Sect and take someone else's head to go back to show his merits. If Pu Jing hadn't stopped him before, he would have killed Danue Sect and was in the Xixi Inspection Department.

However, Miko Orishinomiko would not miss the opportunity to win people's hearts. At this time, Ouchi Sect was obviously an excellent target to win over. She stood up, held the handle of the Japanese sword in her right hand, and slowly moved to the other side of Pujing.

Ouchi Sect was overjoyed, and his hand, which he was hesitant, tightened his Japanese sword again.

Strong and firm...

Chen Dong and his five pirates also stood up and pulled out their weapons, and the atmosphere became tense.

Takeshu Hosokawa couldn't help but frown. He didn't want to give up Orishimiko, but he didn't want Pujing to die under Orishimiko. He could only bite the bullet and become a peacemaker. He reached out and pressed the Japanese sword set by Oizu Sect, and said in a deep voice: "Master Pujing, how about giving me the next face? Now is the critical moment of working together. Isn't one more person more force? Why do you have to kill each other for a few quarrels!"

Among all the people present, Hosokawa Takeshu has the highest martial arts skills, and he has five samurai under him. Pujing dared not give face and slowly lowered his crossbow. Seeing this, Chen Dong and others put their swords into the sheath, and the internal strife temporarily subsided.

Ouchi Somasaki looked at Orinomiko with gratitude, put the Japanese knife in sheath, and retreated aside without saying a word.

Takesho Sogawa was in a complicated mood. He bowed to Pu Jing and wanted to retreat. At this time, the sound of footsteps came from the wild path outside the grass sway, and everyone's nerves immediately tense up.

Takeshu Hosokawa bent down, touched a few meters ahead quickly, gently pulled out the lush reeds, and indeed saw a team of officers and soldiers appearing not far from the wild path. There were nearly two hundred people in a long team, and half of them were holding flintlock rifles, which were obviously the elite of the 500th battalion.

At this time, Qi Jingtong was exactly the one who appeared outside the grass splatter. His soldiers were wearing hats and straw raincoats, and the flintlock rifle was held in their hands and searched here in the rain.

Qi Jingtong walked at the front of the team and shouted: "Everyone should be careful, maybe there are fish that missed the net and hid in the grass."

Speaking of which, a row of footprints was found on the wild trail just now, Qi Jingtong followed the footprints and followed them.

In the grass, Monk Pujing and others were lying quietly in the mud, so nervous that they didn't even dare to breathe out. Once they were discovered at this time, they were obviously dead. No matter how high their martial arts were, they could not resist a row of guns.

rustle……

Two hundred fierce soldiers gradually searched inside on the periphery of Caodang, and one hundred flintlock spears were all on the military stalkers, while one hundred new soldiers each held their waist knives and cooperated with the fierce soldiers to conduct a cover search.

After a while of fighting, the new recruits were already in good shape. At least they were brave enough to stand up and fight when they saw the Japanese pirates.

Just as Hosokawa Takeshu and others were about to break through the siege, the Ming army in the distance suddenly shouted: "Who? Get out!"

Orishimiko and others looked at each other in shock. Could it be that there are other people hidden in this grass?

There were actually other people hidden in the grass. At this time, five men wearing straw hats and straw raincoats were pointed at by flintlock rifles. The leader put his hands together to pick up the Buddha's name: "Amito Buddha, we are monks from Daming Temple in Yangzhou, not evil people. Don't be injured by accident, all the soldiers."

Qi Jingtong frowned, walked over with mud and water, and uncovered the hats worn by the five of them without saying a word. Five dazzling bald heads were exposed, and they were really monks.

"Are you monks from Daming Temple?" Qi Jingtong looked at the five bald men suspiciously. Among the five men, four of them were powerful young monks Kong Wu, and only the one who led was an old monk. It seemed that he was about fifty years old.

The old man in the leader picked up his hands and said, "Go back to Jun Ye, I am indeed a monk from Daming Temple, and his Dharma name is Huiyuan. This is my certificate of decree."

After the old monk said that, he took out the certificate of tribute from the monk's robes, and the other four young monks also took out their certificates and handed them over.

After taking a careful inspection, Qi Jing found that it was a certificate issued by the government to the monks, with an official seal on it, which could not be faked. He couldn't help but frown and said, "Since he is a serious monk, why are you hiding in the grass sneakily?"

The old monk Huiyuan smiled bitterly and said, "I happened to pass by here and saw a group of people coming here from afar. I was worried that I would encounter a strong man who was robbing the house, so I let everyone avoid it. I didn't expect it was the official army, and everything was a misunderstanding."

The words of Mr. Huiyuan were reasonable, but Qi Jingtong still felt that it was inappropriate. He suddenly woke up Xie Erjian and mentioned that there was a bald man among the group of Japanese pirates. So he continued to question quietly: "Master Huiyuan, right? Since you are monks from Daming Temple in Yangzhou, you don't stay in the temple to chant scriptures and worship Buddha, why do you come to this wilderness to do?"

Huiyuan explained calmly: "I went to Guoqing Temple, Jugang to attend the Wuzha Dharma Assembly a few days ago. At this time, I was planning to return to Yangzhou City, and I was passing by here."

Jiugang is located on the easternmost sea of ​​Tongzhou. Guoqing Temple is also a famous temple. It was built during the Sui and Tang Dynasties and was opened in the third year of the Tang Dynasty. The famous Japanese monk Yuanren traveled to the Tang Dynasty. The first stop was to stay at Jiugang Guoqing Temple.

Qi Jingtong asked carefully for a while, but couldn't find any loopholes. Finally, he told Huiyuan and others not to stay nearby, so he took the people away.

Huiyuan watched Qi Jingtong and others walk away, and couldn't help but sigh. Her inner clothes were wet with sweat. She turned around and whispered to Caotang, "Let's come out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Orishimiko and others walked out of the grass. Monk Pujing asked in surprise: "Uncle Master, why are you here?"

Huiyuan whispered: "It is not advisable to stay here for a long time. Let's leave here first."
