Liu Xing and others followed Shimazu Nakano to the main hall of Sengen Shrine. At this time, the main hall was full of seats, and there were also many people sitting sparsely, so Liu Xing and others quickly saw Yin who was chatting.
En and Yaon Sawada.
After Liu Xing and others said goodbye to Shimazu Nakano, they sat next to Yin and En.
"Huh? Why didn't Ding Kun and the others come?" Liu Xing asked curiously.
Yin En shrugged and replied: "If nothing else happens, they should have arrived at the frontline camp by now. Because from the current situation, we must have a battle with the public faction, so Shimazu Nakano asked the major
All forces have dispatched part of their main force to the front lines to be on standby."
"That's true. As long as the fire at the foot of the mountain cannot be extinguished within one day, then we will have to fight with the public faction for survival, otherwise we will have no choice but to fight in the nest." Liu Xing sighed, shook his head and said:
"I originally thought we were going to win, because when we were ambushing the public faction's rear, we had already seen many forces deserting, and we also took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, causing several chaos, and ended up getting angry again.
Burned everyone back."
"Yes, before the fire started, we could be said to be killing gods when the gods block it, and killing Buddha when the Buddha blocks it. Except for the camp where the Shadow Sword is located, it can still withstand one or two, and the other camps can be described as collapse at the first touch; but after discovering that the fire broke out,
After finding our retreat, the camps of the public factions suddenly became hardened. Fortunately, they were preparing to escape before, so they were not ready to fight, so we still captured half of Mount Fuji."
"In this way, we can be considered to be on equal footing with the public factions again."
Zhang Jingxu looked around, and then whispered: "How did you capture the third boss of the tea house alive? I thought it would be good if you blocked them or killed some of them."
Zhang Jingxu chuckled, pointed at himself and said: "Old Zhang, you are looking down on us. Isn't it easy to catch those guys? To put it bluntly, these guys are just ordinary people and a group of ordinary bodyguards, so Ding and I
Kun and the others came to capture the thief and captured the king first, and directly captured the old man from the tea house, so the others honestly chose to surrender."
This is still very reasonable.
"In addition to the walkie-talkies, have you seized any other good things? That old man is also a person in charge of the tea house, so he should have some good things with him, right?" Zhang Wenbing asked curiously.
.
After Yin En pretended to be confused for a moment, he took out ten rings of different shapes and materials from his pocket.
"Huh? This is indeed a rich old man. He even has a ring on each finger." Liu Xing said with a smile.
Yin En also smiled and said: "In addition to looking very expensive, these rings are actually very practical, because they each seal a spell. As long as the wearer rubs the surface of the corresponding ring with his finger, then
Then the corresponding spells can be released, and they are all very practical spells. Unfortunately, the old man has always been pampered and seems to have never experienced any crisis, so these rings have not had time to be used on us."
Hearing what Yin En said, Zhang Jingxu was a little worried and said: "Uh, Yin En, aren't you worried that there are bugs in these rings? Maybe this so-called third boss is a bait to let us take these rings with bugs.
Ring to help them collect intelligence?"
"You can do this. We have already checked these rings and made sure that there is nothing wrong with them. As for the third boss of the teahouse family, we have also checked it. But if you tell me, this old man is quite interesting."
After Yin En organized his speech, he said: "This old man is the younger brother of the contemporary tea house owner. Logically speaking, he should only be able to find a family business to be the honorary boss, and then eat and die every day like Ichijo Masaga.
; It’s quite interesting to say, maybe because the Chaya family is a merchant turned noble, the family tradition of the Chaya family is very special. For example, other families are basically headed by the head of the family, and then assisted by a group of highly respected elders, but
Under normal circumstances, these elders would not come forward on their own initiative."
"The Chaya family is special. In addition to the normal positions of family head and elders, they have specially set up five seats for the head of the family. These heads will take away part of the rights of the family head. The purpose is to avoid the appearance of monotonous opinions.
Due to the circumstances, the decision of the family head alone will lead to the destruction of the entire teahouse family. Of course, the five heads' seats may not be full. It mainly depends on how many people in the family the family leader can recognize."
"For example, the current head of the Chaya family can be regarded as a good person, so there are only three seats for the head, and one of the seats is given to the head's younger brother. To put it bluntly, there are only two heads to limit the rights of the head of the house;
But even so, the remaining two heads made life a little troublesome for the family head. As for the younger brother, it didn't make the family head worry about it, because the old man's son was on the candidate list for the next successor of the Chaya family.
And the ranking is not low.”
"Oh, in that case, that old man is a mole, ready to backstab his dear big brother at any time?" Alice said with a smile.
Yin En nodded and said affirmatively: "Of course, as long as he is not that kind of cold-blooded and ruthless old father, he will definitely want to see his son have a bright future, so Chaya who was involved in this public-war battle
The family originally did not plan to send many people to participate, because they had regarded the Gongwu Battle as a competition to choose the next head of the family; it can be said that the third head of the family should not have come to Mount Fuji in the first place, but he still came for his son
, but we were caught halfway."
"Oh, then didn't he trick his own son? Because his coming to Mount Fuji was not in compliance with the rules, and now he has been caught by Yin En and you guys, and it will cost the family a large ransom, so these pots are in the end
His son will be responsible for everything; but then again, is his son the so-called genius or Yin Shang's former boss?" Liu Xing couldn't help but say.
"If nothing else, it should be Yin Shang's former boss, because we also found similar drugs on the old man's body. In addition, the bodyguards around the old man have also changed as Yin Shang said.
He has become a tool man who has no affection, but this old man has remained silent since he was arrested. At most, he wrote one sentence on a piece of paper - I will pay a ransom."
Speaking of this, Yin En couldn't help but smile, "This old man has quite high requirements for his quality of life. At first, he was dissatisfied with the food and shelter we provided, but when he saw the fire burning at the foot of the mountain,
It stopped immediately. It seems that he also knows that the current situation is very bad, so as a prisoner, he should not make any trouble to avoid irritating us."
"He who knows the current affairs is a hero. It seems that he still knows some rules..."
Before Liu Xing finished speaking, he saw a large group of people walking into the hall. The hall was immediately filled up, and Shimazu Nakano was also standing in front of the statue. It seemed that the meeting was about to begin.
Already.
"Ahem, everyone, please be quiet. We are now going to hold the most important and possibly the last meeting for our martial arts faction, because everyone has seen the current situation. There is an unknown powerful existence that brought Mount Fuji down.
The woods have been set on fire, and the possibility of us leaving Mount Fuji from the sky has been blocked, so we have no way out now."
As soon as Shimazu Nakano said this, the hall suddenly became silent, because everyone knew that now is not the time for them to stand up and express their stance. After all, whoever stands up and expresses his stance first now will be the one who suffers.
It's no joke to shoot the first bird.
Seeing that no one had any intention of answering, Shimazu Nakano could only continue: "The current situation is very clear, so I will speak directly here. First of all, we will most likely have a fight with the public faction.
It’s a life-and-death fight, I believe everyone has no objection to this, so the first topic of our meeting is how to fight! And after the fight, how to distribute the most important supplies to us - drinking water."
After Shimazu Nakano said these words, everyone in the audience knew that he had to speak.
So the representative of the Maori family was the first to stand up and said: "I believe everyone has heard the story of our Maori three arrows, so what I want to say now is that we must abandon our past grudges and unite to defeat the public faction, so that we can ensure
More of our own people can survive, so our Maori family is willing to send people as pioneers!"
Liu Xing looked at the representative of the Maori family with some surprise. He did not expect that he would say such a thing... But when he thought about it, Liu Xing knew that the Maori family must have been convinced by Shimazu Nakano, so he came to this moment
Volunteering to take on a task that seems to be of no benefit to you at all.
After all, judging from the current situation, the word "pioneer" can be equivalently replaced by "cannon fodder", unless everyone sent by your Maori family is a humanoid Gundam.
Therefore, Liu Xing is now very curious about what kind of benefits Shimadzu Nakano gave the Maori family to make the Maori family work for Shimadzu Nakano.
But more importantly, Liu Xing felt that Shimazu Nakano didn't need anyone to stand up and support him at this time. After all, the sudden appearance of Fire God had nothing to do with Shimazu Nakano, so no one would care about Shimazu in the current situation.
Tsunakano took issue because everyone still knows how to "reason".
Therefore, in Liu Xing's view, Shimazu Nakano has some ambition to stand out...Does Shimazu Nakano really want to be the leader of the samurai faction?
Or do you want to leave a way out for yourself who is about to step down as the head of the Shimazu family?
"Well, since your Maori family understands justice so well, I can't stop you from doing your best for the Wu family faction."
Shimazu Nakano said with a moved face: "In that case, I will hand over the frontline command of the Wu family faction to your Maori family, so you can go to the front line to prepare now, because we may launch an attack on the public faction at any time
attack!"
As Shimazu Nakano spoke, he scanned the other people in the hall, especially those representatives of forces with whom he had difficulty dealing with.
However, it is difficult for representatives of these forces to say anything more at this time, because they also know that if they raise objections at this time, Shimadzu Nakano will take advantage of the situation and make them responsible for various issues on the front line.
As a result, the Maori representatives who had taken the position of vanguard led the troops and rushed to the frontline camp to prepare for war.
Of course, Liu Xing at this time also guessed what kind of benefits Shimadzu Nakano had given the Maori family, that is, "frontline command rights."
In addition to its own meaning, the "frontline command authority" here actually also includes the authority to distribute materials on the frontline.
As we all know, in most cases the vanguard troops are the best fed. After all, the casualty rate of the vanguard troops is very high, so there is definitely no problem in giving them good food and drink before the war begins.
As a result, the Maori family can use this to allocate enough food and drinking water to their team, so that the Maori family does not need to worry about the immediate trouble.
"It seems that the Maori family has run out of drinking water and food, so they have to accept Shimadzu Nakano's terms of exchange."
Yin En, who was sitting next to Liu Xing, whispered: "So how much food and drinking water do we have left? If we can't hold on for three days, then we will have to stand up to support Shimazu Nakano later."
Liu Xing thought for a while, shook his head and said: "The situation is not bad. If we implement a strict distribution system, we should not be short of food and drink before the fire is extinguished. However, we still have to help Shimazu Nakano as much as we can.
Because we have been a grasshopper on the same rope with Shimazu Nakano for a long time, and it would be good to prepare more food and drinking water."
As soon as Liu Xing finished speaking, Shimazu Nakano spoke again, "By the way, I just talked with Inada Yiye again. Their attitude is that this final battle must continue because we have no way out now.
...Unless we want to have a quarrel with each other, the result of these two quarrels will only be that the public faction and the Wu faction are disbanded at the same time; but the bigger problem now is that after we finish the fight, we can be sure that no matter who wins
Whoever loses will suffer heavy losses and be severely damaged by both parties."
"When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits." Sawada Yaon suddenly said: "We must be wary of external forces taking the opportunity to cause trouble and come to our island country to share the cake!"
