The Ming Dynasty took an unconventional approach

Chapter 618 Stealing on Board

Miaozhen, Miaohe and Tao Yanbai naturally followed Pan Yun. Wang Cong also wanted to visit Japan, so he naturally had to bring Hu Jing, who was using the alias Gu Daxia, with him.

In addition to his own people, Zhang Weiyi and several of his fellow apprentice brothers also decided to go to Japan for some training.

To suppress the bandits this time, they divided their troops into three groups. This group was considered successful, and there should be no problem with Dongyang Island. It all depends on the group led by Zhang Ziming in Fuzhou.

After this battle, most of the "Japanese pirates" in the southeastern coastal areas were wiped out. This not only avenged the villagers who were massacred last year, but also frightened them so that they would not dare to go ashore easily for at least two years.

At this point, they were successful.

There are so many chores to do if I return home now, so I might as well go to Japan to gain some experience.

So just as Pan Yun told Li Wenying that she wanted a boat to Japan, Zhang Weiyi and several of his fellow disciples came to her.

The speed was so fast that Pan Yun suspected that they were going to Japan on the orders of Li Wenying.

Until now, this suspicion has not been dispelled.

Oh, in addition to Zhang Weiyi and others, Xue Shao and his servants were also on the boat.

There were two men following behind him who looked no ordinary people. They claimed to be a gang of Jianghu people, but Pan Jun always felt that they had the scent of Yun Yan, so he suspected that they were the Jinyiwei.

"By the way, what were the names of your two friends?"

The two young men smiled and clasped their fists and replied, "Master Sanzhu, I am Chen Liutao."

"My name is Qu Zhixing!"

Pan Yun nodded: "What a good name!"

She turned around and asked Song Xuan and Gao Zhiming: "We are all in the underworld, don't you four know each other?"

The four of them looked at each other, and Gao Zhiming smiled and said, "My junior sister and I have only been wandering around Hengshan for many years, and we don't know much about the heroes in the martial arts world. It was only this time that we realized that we were sitting in a well and knew nothing about the outside world. That's why we wanted to follow Taoist Sanzhu to Japan for training."

Pan Yun nodded slightly: "Now that we have come to this, let's be frank. It was my idea to go to Japan, but you all came here voluntarily. So once you are in Japan, your life and death are your own responsibility. If you get into trouble, you can help each other if it's a small trouble. If it's a big trouble, if you accidentally run into each other, remember to pretend you don't know each other."

The knights looked at her in amazement. Is it possible to say this out loud?
This is different from the education they received since childhood.

Pan Yun: "To avoid being caught in one fell swoop, without even a single person to report back to the country."

When everyone heard this, they understood instantly and looked at Pan Yun with a touched face: "Master Sanzhu is still thoughtful. Indeed, this trip is different. Not only is it in a foreign place, but also in a foreign country. The people who are most concerned about are family members.

If we get into trouble, it won’t be of much use even if we call everyone. It’s better to save one person to pass on a message to our family, so that they can know whether we are alive or dead, why we died, and by whom.”

Pan Jun nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, that's what I mean!"

It is definitely not the idea of ​​"my fellow Taoist would rather die than let me die" that is causing the problem.

Everyone said goodbye to their relatives and friends on the shore and boarded the boat.

The boatmen obeyed the order and sailed out. When the number of people on the shore decreased and the sail began to be pulled up, Pan Yun touched Pan Xiaohei and said to himself: "I always feel weird, as if I forgot something..."

Miao He next to him said, "Did you forget to bring something?"

Pan Jun was startled: "Did I forget to bring Pan Xiaohei?"

She clenched her hands nervously. Pan Xiaohei felt pain and yelled angrily: "Meow——"

Everyone silently lowered their eyes to look at the black cat in her hand.

Pan Jun immediately let go of her hand and stroked it repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I completely forgot that you were in my hands..."

Pan Xiaohei was so angry that he started to curse loudly. When he was satisfied, he said, "Stupid, you forgot about Qu Le!" Pan Jun's hand that was stroking its fur froze. He turned around and asked Miao Zhen and the others, "Did you see Qu Le when we said goodbye just now?"

Several people looked at each other and shook their heads.

Wang Cong and the others felt a tightness in their hearts, as if they had a very familiar feeling.

Hu Jing was still innocent: "Maybe he didn't come to say goodbye because he was reluctant and sad that you didn't want to take him with you? When you go back, you can take something to comfort him. Young people are very easy to comfort."

Pan Jun looked doubtful: "Really?"

Song Xuan and the others also comforted her: "Young Master Qu doesn't seem like a petty person. He will get over his anger after a while. Besides, this is the decision of the Wulin Alliance and the Tianshi Mansion. I think he will understand."

Pan Jun: "He will understand nothing."

Miao Zhen: "If he understood, he wouldn't have run away from home to learn Taoism."

Wang Cong turned around with his head down: "Let's look for him. He might be hiding in some cabin."

Tao Yanbai and Miaohe obediently turned around to look for him.

Zhang Weiyi and the others also sighed and dispersed to look for it.

Song Xuan and Gao Zhiming looked at each other and said unconfidently, "Not really, right?"

It would be strange if it wasn't so.

Several people were on the boat for almost half an hour, and finally Pan Yun and Pan Xiaohei found the people behind a bag of rice in the kitchen.

Pan Yun opened the rice bag and looked at Qu Le who was sleeping soundly with a bag of rice in his arms and said, "You are good at hiding."

Then he slapped him on the face, waking him up.

When Qu Le opened his eyes and saw her, he hugged the rice bag tightly and shouted, "I won't go back, I absolutely won't go back!"

Pan Yun: "Wake up, we have been sailing for almost half an hour. You are not that important. I don't need to go back and come out again with the whole boat."

Qu Le still refused to relax and looked at her warily: "You can still fly, you won't throw me into your pot and send me back..."

"If all the people on this boat were from my academy, I would definitely do this, but it's not the case," Pan Yun said, counting on his fingers, "There are chivalrous men, ordinary boatmen, soldiers from the navy office, and even Jinyiwei and censors in disguise. You are not worth my return to the boat, so why should I break the law to fly you back?"

Qu Le then remembered that flying around in front of ordinary people was against the law.

Pan Yun snorted and said sideways, "Come out, don't damage my rice bag."

Qu Le then came out and brushed off the dust on his body.

Pan Jun leaned against the door with his arms folded, looking at him, frowning and saying nothing.

Qu Le avoided her gaze guiltily, brushing off the dust on his body while quietly defending himself: "Before we left, we agreed that we were a team, that we would be inseparable and protect each other, but the suppression of the bandits hasn't even been completely completed and you're leaving me behind..."

Pan Yun: "Our team's mission has been completed. All that's left is the finishing touches. For the other lines of anti-bandit operations, a few more of us won't make much difference, and a few less of us won't make much either..."

Qu Le: "Then I will follow you too."

Pan Yun: "Japan is not like the Ming Dynasty. No one there will give face to Alliance Leader Lin."

Qu Le said seriously: "I don't need it, I can protect myself!"

Pan Yun thought about it and nodded: "That's fine. Japan is in civil strife. As long as you don't take the initiative to invite trouble, with your martial arts skills, it won't be a problem to save your life."
