But when Ma Shou followed the little boy into Mou Ying's house, he saw that there was only one main room and two side rooms in the courtyard, and the yard was not big. He thought to himself: "It's hard to imagine that this is the house of Mou Ying, the magic sword general of the Jinyiwei family. They said it has been built for three years."
Qingzhi County has one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver, and the Mou family has held high official positions for generations, but their houses are so shabby. It seems that the rumors are true, and the Mou family are indeed honest and upright people."
But Ma Shou asked the little boy: "What is your name?"
The little boy said: "My name is Mou Rongtian." Then he shouted into the house: "Dad, there are guests coming."
Mou Ying heard the sound and walked out of the house.
But Ma Shou saw that this man was tall and burly, with a very majestic appearance, and a heroic spirit between his brows, which made people feel intimidating but not angry, and he was friendly but difficult to offend.
Mou Ying stepped forward and asked, "Who are you?"
Taimamori bowed and said, "I'm Yagyu Taimamori."
Mou Ying cupped his fists and said, "Oh, it turns out that you are the famous Yagyu Taimamomo, whom I have admired for a long time. I wonder why you are looking for Mou?"
But Ma Shoudao said: "I have heard for a long time that the swordsmanship of the Divine Sword is as good as the gods. I would like to ask Mr. Mou for some advice. Please feel free to give me some advice."
Mou Ying said: "That's it." He glanced at his son, and then said: "Okay, but Mou has something to ask for."
Danma Shoudao: "Please speak."
Mou Ying said: "If Mou unfortunately dies under your sword, please send the dog to the Shaolin Temple in Songshan, Henan, and hand it over to Zen Master Tieluohan Pudu."
But Ma Shou said: "Okay, I also have a request."
Mou Ying said: "Please speak."
But Ma Shoudao said: "These two children were met on the road. They have poor life experiences. I originally wanted to take them back to Japan to teach martial arts. If I die under Mou Jun's sword, I ask Mou Jun to take care of these two poor children."
Mou Ying said: "Okay." Then he said to his son: "Tian'er, go get daddy's knife."
Mou Rongtian ran into the house, and in a short time, he took out the tiger-head embroidered spring knife in both hands. Mou Ying took the knife in his hand and said: "Tian'er, you and these two little brothers stand under the eaves. Daddy wants to compete with Mr. Yagyu Sheng."
Martial arts, don’t hurt you.”
Mou Rong added: "Two little brothers, please follow me to the eaves of the corridor."
After the children walked away, Mou Ying pulled out the tiger-head embroidered spring knife and handed the scabbard back to his hand. Mou Rongtian quickly ran over from under the eaves, took the scabbard, and carried it back to the eaves.
But Ma Shou pulled out his sword and long boat and shouted: "Mr. Mou, I'm offended!" Then he stepped forward to fight with Mou Ying.
Mou Ying knew that Taima Shou was an expert in swordsmanship and did not dare to neglect him. He used his special move to win with eight hits as soon as he started. However, Ma Shou also used his special skills.
Li Yuan saw that the two men were fighting extremely brilliantly, with the flash of swords and swords making him dizzy and dumbfounded.
After a while, Mou Rongtian's sword was placed next to Tajima Shou's neck, but he did not cut it. At the same time, Danma Shou's sword was pressed against Mou Ying's heart, but it did not penetrate.
Mou Ying and Tajima Mamoru looked up to the sky and laughed at the same time, and each took action.
Mou Ying smiled and said: "I'm glad, Yagyu-kun's swordsmanship is like a god, and he really deserves his reputation."
But Ma Shoudao said: "Mou Jun's swordsmanship is so good that I have never seen it before, and I admire it."
Mou Ying said: "Mr. Yagyu, please take a seat in the room."
Everyone entered the room and the guests and hosts took their seats. Mou Ying said: "Tian'er, look at the tea and take out the jasmine tea that my father collected to entertain the distinguished guests."
There was not much time, so Mou Rongtian served tea to everyone on a tea tray.
But Ma Shou picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. He thought the taste was average. He was a master of tea ceremony and knew all about Central Plains tea. He said: "As far as I know, West Lake Longjing, Huangshan Maofeng, Lu'an Guapian, Tieguanyin, Biluochun, Maojian, and Yinzhen."
These teas all taste good, why does Mou Jun only love jasmine?"
Mou Ying paused and smiled: "Because it smells good."
Mou Rongtian interjected: "Uncle said that the tea is too expensive and my father can't afford it."
Mou Ying deliberately cleared her throat to signal her son not to talk nonsense.
But Ma Shou felt that his words were rude, so he stood up and bowed to Mou Ying: "Mou Jun, I'm sorry, I'm rude."
Mou Ying was quite embarrassed by this and said with a smile: "It's nothing. Yagyu-kun, you are too polite. Please sit down."
But after Ma Shou sat down, he solemnly said: "Mou Jun, I have an important matter to discuss with you." Then he looked at the children.
Mou Ying said: "Tian'er, take these two little brothers to play in the yard. If you don't have daddy, don't come in."
Mou Rongtian said: "You two little brothers, let's go play in the yard."
After they left, Mou Ying said: "Yagyu-kun, please speak."
But Ma Shoudao said: "Toyotomi-kun went militarily and broke the alliance to launch a war against Goryeo again. The people of Japan are full of complaints and miserable. I would like to ask the Jin Yiwei to assassinate Toyotomi-kun. As long as Toyotomi-kun dies, this war will be over."
"I was originally supposed to go directly to Beijing to see Mr. Luo, but considering my special status and the inconvenience, I came to see Mr. Mou and asked Mr. Mou to help me. I wonder what Mr. Mou wants?"
Mou Ying thought: "This is a good thing, but I don't know if Yagyu is reliable? I have never dealt with him and don't know him well. Those two children should be orphans. Yagyu can help those in need. From this point of view,
This person is reliable.
"But if he did it deliberately and wanted to gain my trust, this person is too scheming. Should I trust him?
"I heard that he was Tokugawa Ieyasu's swordsmanship teacher. People say that Tokugawa Ieyasu was the most loyal minister under Toyotomi, but I think Tokugawa Ieyasu was Sima Yi.
"This matter cannot be Yagyu's personal behavior. It is probably the instruction of Tokugawa Ieyasu. If he doesn't mention Tokugawa Ieyasu, it's hard for me to ask. Even if I ask him, he will not admit that the matter is related to Tokugawa Ieyasu.
.
"If it was Tokugawa Ieyasu's instruction, it would be credible. You might as well give it a try. If it succeeds, it will save countless people from disaster."
Mou Ying made up his mind and said: "It is rare for Mr. Yagyu Sheng to understand the righteousness so much that I admire you so much. I am willing to make this happen."
But Ma Shou stood up and bowed: "Thank you, Mr. Mou."
Mou Ying stood up and clasped her fists and said, "I should thank Yagyu-kun."
Dan Ma Shoudao: "When will Mou Jun go to Beijing?"
Mou Ying said: "Let's go now. Mr. Liu Sheng will stay here and wait for good news." After saying this, he left the house and came to the courtyard, but Mou Rongtian and the two children were nowhere to be seen.
Mou Ying thought: "They must have gone to the beach."
Not far from Muping County to the north is **Dahai.
At the beach, Mou Rongtian was teaching Li Yuan and Qian Dayou to swim when he suddenly heard his father shout: "Tian'er!"
Mou Rongtian saw his father standing on the shore and responded: "Dad, what's the matter?"
Mou Ying shouted: "Daddy is out for a few days."
Mou Rongtian responded: "I know!"
Mou Ying went to the Zuo Station in Jinshan, which was stationed south of Mouping County, to borrow a horse, and then rushed to the capital.
The army of the Ming Empire implemented a garrison system, with garrison stations set up from the capital to prefectures and counties. Local garrison stations were assigned to the command and envoy divisions of each province. The command and envoy divisions were under the jurisdiction of several guards, and the guards were under the jurisdiction of several thousand-household stations and hundred-household stations.
The capital command and envoys department is under the jurisdiction of the central Five Army Commandery Office.
Jinshan Left Station is a hundred-household station under the jurisdiction of Weihaiwei under the Shandong Capital Command.
Tajima Mamoru was drinking tea in the house, and a man dressed as a beggar walked in. This man Tajima Mamoru knew. He was Hattori Hanzo, a top-notch ninja from Japan.
Ninja is a profession unique to Japan. They are special combat killers and spies who have received professional ninjutsu training.
But Ma Shouyi frowned, put it in the tea bowl, and asked in Japanese: "Why did you come in?" His tone was full of dissatisfaction and blame, which meant that Hanzo, the persuasion department, should not have walked in so rashly.
Hattori Hanzo smiled and said: "Don't worry, Yagyu-kun, Mou Ying is on his way to Beijing. Those children are playing at the beach. They won't know about my arrival."
Dan Ma Shou said: "Then sit down and have a cup of tea."
Hattori Hanzo sat aside, took a sip of tea, and said: "This tea is too ordinary." Then he said: "Yagyu-kun should not compete with Mou Ying as soon as he comes. If you die by Mou Ying's sword, my lord,
Isn’t it a trustworthy person?”
But Ma Shoudao said: "If I die, won't I still have you? You can discuss important matters with Mou Ying on my behalf."
Hattori Hanzo said: "Can't we wait until the important matters are discussed before we discuss them?"
Dan Ma Shoudao: "No."
Hattori Hanzo said: "Why?"
But Ma Shoudao said: "In that case, Mou Ying will have scruples and won't go all out."
Hattori Hanzo said: "Yagyu-kun, you are too obsessed with your swordsmanship."
Danma Shoudao: "To each other, you are also very obsessed with your ninjutsu."
Hattori Hanzo said: "Mouying is indeed a rare opponent. If there is a chance, I would like to compete with him."
But Ma Shoudao: "Maybe there will be a chance."
Hattori Hanzo said: "Yagyu-kun is really smart. He saved two little beggars and used it to win Mouying's trust. It's really smart."
But Ma Shou was shocked and said: "You actually saw through it. I had this in mind, but those two children are indeed cute."
Hattori Hanzo said: "I can see through Yagyu-kun's tricks, do you think Mou Ying can't think of it?"
Dan Ma Shoudao: "I don't know."
Hattori Hanzo said: "It's better not to be clever in the future. If it backfires and ruins my lord's important event, you can't bear it." After saying this, his body swayed and disappeared without a trace.
But Ma Shou frowned, gritted his teeth and said, "Baga!"
