Warring States Eagle

Chapter 139 Ransom

In the meeting hall of Huzi's house.

"Matabei, what do you think of this matter?" Otomo Otomo, who was sitting on the main seat, said calmly to Oishi Tomoman.With a calm expression, it seems that the one who is being arrested now is not his legitimate son.

"My lord, I'm afraid it's not as simple as what the bandits did?" Dashi Zhiman said with a frown.

"Ok?"

"After attacking Zuozhi's family last time, the young master secretly encouraged Taijiu's and Changcang's families to attack Luo's family, but it failed in the end. The young master is very worried about this. This time he personally led the team to unite the Ishida family. I have the idea of ​​continuing to suppress the Luo family," Dashi Zhiman said.

"Taro told me about the sneak attack before he went to secretly contact the two families. At the beginning, Taro tried his best to express that the Luo family was a potential threat to the family. More importantly, the young patriarch should not be underestimated. Now it seems that this is indeed the case. If the Luo family were willing to give in obediently and hand over Cangshan City last time, they could let him go, but I didn't expect that he would be so arrogant and openly defy the mediation of the family, and it is necessary to suppress it now," Huzi Dayou said.

"There is still no news from the people who followed Monk Xuanru to Cangshan City. I'm afraid the young man has seen through the scheme of our family," Dashi Zhiman said slowly.

"Send a few more people to sneak in to see what's going on. Huh? You mean that this matter may be related to the Luo family?" After thinking for a while, and suddenly realizing what Dashi Zhiman really meant, Huzi Otomo asked.

"My lord, although the place where the young master was attacked was within the territory of the Ishida family, it is also very close to the territory of the Luo family. Now there are rumors that the attack on the Luo family last time was obviously from the Taijiu family. What he did with the Changcang family was actually ordered by the family. I think these rumors should also be the work of that boy. Now this incident is likely to be his counterattack against the family," Oishi Tomoman said with a sigh.Although he was a hostile camp, Oishi Tomoman had to express his admiration for the strategy of the head of the Luo family.

"The Luo family can't deal with it openly for the time being, otherwise it will incur the blame of Bodo. But we must continue to strengthen the suppression from the dark side, and the military guards. During this period of time, you should secretly contact the little local tyrants around the Luo family. It can make Luo's family peaceful," Huzi Dayou ordered.

"So, where is the young master?"

"Accept the demands of those bandits. Whether it is the real bandits or the work of the Luo family, Taro will definitely be able to come back after getting the ransom. Otherwise, even at the risk of offending Bodo, the family will have to send a few of them there. The small local tyrants and bandits will perish." Huzi Dayou said confidently, "As for the dead warriors, give some pensions to their families. Just recruit a few wandering warriors from the territory to supplement it."

"Yes, my lord."

. . . . . . . . . .

At the same time, in the Luo family's Jiubao City.

"How's that guy doing?" Zheng Liang asked a cloaked crowd kneeling in front of him while drinking tea.

"Your Highness, that guy has passed out after his leg was broken, and he has found someone to treat his wound, but he still hasn't woken up yet," the cloak reported.

"Hmph, get some water to wake him up, and it will be returned to the other party tomorrow. Taking advantage of this opportunity, let him enjoy it tonight," Zheng Liang said through gritted teeth.If he didn't think about the overall situation, Zheng Liang would have liked to chop Huzi Zhengyou into pieces immediately, to see how this guy would conspire against the Luo family in the future.

"Also, let the guards pretend to be drunk in the middle of the night, revealing that the Matsuura clan in Hirado is behind the scenes this time," Masara continued.With the resourcefulness of the Huzi family's retainers, after obtaining this information, they will definitely suspect that the Hirado Matsuura family intends to use this to provoke conflicts between the Huzi family and the surrounding tycoons, and then secretly covet the Huzi family's navy.Although some people would be skeptical about this, it was enough, and Zhengliang's purpose was only to disturb Hu Zijia's view of him.

"Yes, Your Highness."

. . . . . . . . . . .

Hisaishi Castle of the Ishida family.

"Quickly, let me check again, and find out who did it no matter what?" In the small meeting room, Ishida Jibu roared at his retainers.

Originally, after receiving the news that the young master of Huzi's family sent 500 shi for food aid today, Ishida Jibu was full of joy.The response of the Huzi family not only means that he has strong support for his dream of plotting the territory of the Taijiu family, but also can use it to climb the big tree of the Huzi family.Therefore, after receiving Masatomo Huko's notification at noon, Osamu Ishida not only let his little daughter bathe and change clothes to serve Masatomo Huko, but also personally led a dozen warriors to greet her.

But after waiting for a long time at the exit of the mountain road, there was still no trace of Huzi's family's delivery team, so he hurriedly led people into the mountain road to search forward, but only saw the corpses of more than 20 warriors. Tairen didn't stay either.Seeing this situation, any fool would know that the transport team was attacked.In a panic, Ishida Jibu immediately sent people to search around.Until the evening, all the people sent out found nothing.Ishida Jibu couldn't help panicking. The young master of the Huzi family was attacked on the territory of the Ishida family. No matter what, the Ishida family couldn't get rid of it. He didn't expect that the big tree couldn't get close to him, but he caused a lot of trouble.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

August 23rd of the ninth year of Tianwen.

A typhoon blew up last night. Although it has weakened a lot in the morning, there is still drizzle on the vast sea.In the morning, a small merchant ship and several Xiaozao arrived on the deep blue sea.These ships came to redeem Huzi Zhengyou exactly at the request of the bandits.The accompanying small merchant ship loaded a total of 3000 coins worth.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, Ashigaru, who was in charge of looking out at the bow, suddenly shouted: "My lord, look, they are coming."

Hearing this, a samurai walked quickly to the bow of the ship, looked in the direction Ashgaru pointed, and saw several small boats sailing in the distance in the drizzle, and one of them was the young master of the Huzi family, Huzi. political friends.

"Do as agreed," said the warrior.According to the agreement, Huzi's family cannot lead the navy to come this time, otherwise the other party will kill the young master immediately.After the order from the samurai was issued, the small merchant ship and the two Xiaozao continued sailing slowly, while the other Xiaozao stayed where they were.

"Hey, leader, news came from the shore that Huzi's family is not hiding a navy nearby. This time we really knocked the tiger of Huzi's family hard," a sailor said excitedly.When they were pirates in the past, they often confronted Huzi's navy because of interests, but they often ended in failure. This time, they were able to knock a sum of money from Huzi's family, which made the other side's navy swallow their breath. These sailors who were born as pirates were very excited.

"Get on the bow of the boat and watch the wind for me," shouted Sun Wulang, the general of the Luo family's navy who was in charge of the exchange.Although he was greatly relieved, he must not treat such a powerful Huzi family lightly.What's more, this time it came out secretly, and it was impossible to let other people know the purpose of this trip.Looking at the excited subordinates around him, Sun Wulang secretly decided to tell them to keep secret on the way back.

"Boss, their boat has started to move," another sailor in charge of the lookout reported.

"Very well, send our people," Sun Wulang ordered.As soon as the words fell, the two Xiaozao, which had been prepared for a long time, quickly left the fleet and headed towards the small merchant ship opposite.

Seeing the bandit ship approaching on the opposite side, the boatmen on the small merchant ship jumped into the small morning boat that followed.Then they left behind an empty small merchant ship and a small ship, and they rowed back to the Huzi family's fleet in the distance as if fleeing for their lives.

After the personnel on the merchant ship left, one of the two oncoming bandit ships also approached the small merchant ship, and then several people from Xiao Zao jumped on the small merchant ship, leaving two people to guard and wait, and the rest people climbed into the cabin.After about ten minutes, the few people who climbed into the cabin went to the deck again. After discussing, they began to row the small merchant ship left by Huzi's family and another Xiaozao to the bandits' fleet.

"How is it?" Sun Wulang asked immediately when he saw the person sent out finally approaching.

"Boss, there are dozens of boxes of coins in the cabin, about 3000 guan, the number is correct," a child replied.This is the first batch of students trained by Zhengliang's Roche Academy, and they have learned simple arithmetic.This time, in order to quickly confirm the tree name of the coin, he was selected by Zhengliang to participate in this operation.

"Very well, carry that guy to the small room left by Huzi's house, and the rest of them will prepare to evacuate with me immediately," Sun Wulang ordered immediately after confirming that it was correct.

Soon, after leaving Huzi Zhengyou, who was covered with scars and his mouth was stuffed with rags, in Huzi's house, the Luo family's navy escorted the small merchant ship and left quickly.Seeing the Huzi family's fleet leaving from the bandits in the distance, they immediately rowed quickly towards Xiaozao carrying Huzi Zhengyou.

"Ah, young master?" When the leader of the samurai jumped onto Xiaozao first, he immediately exclaimed when he saw the miserable state of Huzi Zhengyou.It's not that this samurai has never seen a big scene, it's that Huzi Zhengyou's current appearance is too miserable.His whole body was dressed in ragged clothes, his hair was disheveled, and scars could be vaguely seen from the gaps in the torn clothes, and his right leg was also heavily bandaged.The current state is as miserable as it is.

"Young master! Damn it! Come on, hurry up and tell the navy behind to come and chase those villains." After taking out the rag from Huzi Zhengyou's mouth, the leading warrior shouted.Although he knew in his heart that he would not be able to catch up with those Xiaozao songs containing bandits, he should at least shout out to let the young master know his loyalty.

"No...no...quick...go back...notify...Father...my lord...Hirado...Matsuura Jianji" After panting for breath, Masatomo Hikoko finally passed out.In fact, on the way here, he had passed out several times from the pain, and each time he was woken up by those bandits splashing sea water. This time, he was finally able to pass out happily for a while.

"Young master?" Seeing that the young master was unconscious, everyone in the Huzi family immediately panicked.

At the same time, the Luo family's fleet, which had already left the hostage exchange site, was full of jubilation.

"Hahaha, there are a lot of coins!" Seeing Huzi's fleet gradually disappearing from sight, Sun Wulang immediately led people into the cabin of the small merchant ship, and checked the situation of the coins in detail again.The head of the family is waiting for the money to be used to great effect, so he must not be sloppy.When a wooden box full of gold was opened, the people behind immediately cheered.

"Get out" Sun Wulang turned around and kicked the subordinates behind him away, and shouted, "Do you want to be entertained by Master Junmufu after you go back?"

Everyone immediately became quiet when they heard the words, thinking of Sasuke-sama who was also temporarily serving as the navy commander, everyone immediately broke into a cold sweat.Oh my god, it was really too harsh. Everyone in the cabin was punished by him several times because they didn't pay attention during training.

"My lord" at this time, a navy ashigaru in charge of the lookout came in, "The front is the island, we are going to go around the island, and then turn back to Banwu Bay. But there seems to be a group of pirates in front of the island. Fishermen who were robbed and killed."

"Huh? Leave them alone, just spare Xiangdao and continue sailing," Sun Goro ordered.This trip must not be extravagant.Ashigaru leads the way.

But soon, Ashgaru came in again, "Master... Sir, those pirates are coming to our side."

"What?" Sun Wulang was furious, they were always the only ones who robbed others, but this time it was the other way around, and the pirates missed him?

"Little ones, prepare for me immediately, and those damned guys will see how powerful we are!" Sun Wulang yelled immediately.

"Yes, leader" everyone shouted.

The battle lasted less than half an hour, and the Luo's family's navy, which had overall strength, beat the pirates to pieces. In the end, all the captured pirates were thrown into the sea and fed to the sharks.

"My lord, in addition to a few fishermen, a strange person was found on those pirate ships." An ashigaru came to report in a hurry after cleaning up the battlefield.

"Huh?" Sun Wulang was a little stunned. Who could make his subordinates who have been robbing the sea for a long time feel strange?
