Guo Kan smiled: "It turned out to be you, the prince once mentioned you, saying that you are the most loyal retainer of Hojo Shizong, and you are also very powerful, and you can even affect the succession to the throne." If I knew it was you, I would have killed it with one shot, and it was useless to keep it anyway. ”

Ping Laigang was surprised, and roared angrily: "Old thief, report your name quickly!" ”

Guo Kan said with a smile: "My surname is Guo Mingkan, I am an idle old man who eats under the prince, I have no position and no power, fortunately the prince does not dislike me for being old, and let me follow the army to help the idle people, which makes you laugh." ”

Guo Kan has always been very low-key in the Southern Song Dynasty, and he is never mentioned in the newspapers, and Ping Laigang is indeed the first time he has heard of this name.

Ping Laigang really thought that he was injured by an unknown old doorman of Cheng Yue, so he was so angry that he screamed, pointing at Guo Kan and scolding endlessly. There was also some Japanese mixed in, which Guo Kan couldn't understand.

A Song general beside Guo Kan who made a meteor hammer couldn't stand it, and yelled: "Shut up, thief!" A steamed bun-sized copper hammer came out of his hand and slammed into Ping Laigang's chest, smashing his ribs into his heart.

Ping Laigang spat blood from his mouth, but he still glared at Guo Kan and Song General who made the meteor hammer viciously, and died of anger.

General Song cut off Ping Laigang's head, respectfully held it in front of Guo Kan's eyes with both hands, and said, "General Guo, please forgive your subordinates for the crime of unauthorized killing!" ”

Guo Kan smiled: "What kind of murder is this?" I just don't want to get my hands dirty, thank you for killing him for me. However, I don't want the credit, you can take it. ”

Song Jiang was taken aback, and just about to excuse himself, Guo Kan waved his hand and walked towards Angier.

In the upper Yamanuchi Temple, Hojo Tokimune's face was gray, and he sat quietly on a futon, holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, and chanting words in his mouth, as if he was silently reciting scriptures.

Hojo Tokimura led troops to defend outside the Sagami Shofu, while Bizen Tai and Echigo Sun Taro were busy putting out fires in front of the house.

The demise of the Hojo clan was imminent, but Hojo Tokimune was idle, because it was useless to do anything, and he was just waiting for death.

Hojo Tokimune looked up at Kasai Valley from afar, showed a wry smile, and muttered, "Mother, Zhuzi, and Sadasaki, I'm really sorry that I couldn't protect you." He sighed, closed his eyes and continued to recite the scriptures.

Angier's troops had reached only a hundred zhang outside the Sagami Shofu, and Hojo Tokimura led the last 2,000 samurai of the Hojo clan to fight desperately, and the Mongolian cavalry led by Nangkasho was in a stalemate. He was not in a hurry, and ordered the army to retreat, not to compete with Hojo Tokimura for a short time. The good food has been served, are you still afraid of eating it late? When the spearmen of the Song army arrived, these two thousand warriors were just fish on the board.

Bizen Taiyo and Echigo Sontaro extinguished the flames everywhere, returned to the Yamanuchi Hall in a sweat, and knelt down on both sides of Hojo Tokimune without saying a word.

Hojo Tokimune recited the Diamond Sutra without hesitation, before he opened his eyes and said lightly, "Why do you bother to put out the fire?" Maybe after a while, it will be burned by thieves again. ”

Bizen Taihan sighed and said, "At that time, it is none of my business to burn it again, as long as it is intact in my hands." ”

Hojo Tokimune smiled, pointed outside and said, "The weather is so nice today, this time last year, we went out hunting, right?" ”

Echigo Suntaro nodded and said, "Yes, I remember that Jiro Ando hit the biggest wild boar, and Lord Ruling also rewarded him." ”

Hojo Shizong smiled and said: "Ando and Hetian, those two guys, the sword technique is too good to be scary, I really want to see who killed them, if I can understand it again, although I have no regrets." ”

Bizen Taiyun couldn't help but say: "Lord Ruling Authority, Zhenshi is estimated to have fallen into the hands of the Song army, can we think of a way?" ”

Hojo Tokizong frowned and said, "What can be done?" ”

Bizen Tai Yan said: "What was the life of the young master when he exchanged the Hojo clan's Tibetan gold for chastity?" ”

The Hojo clan ruled Japan for many years, and the family has accumulated a strong family foundation over the generations, which is its hidden gold. These treasures totaled more than 1.7 million taels, and they were hidden under an ordinary courtyard behind the Yamanuchi Temple, and the key was personally controlled by Hojo Tokimune. When Ryoko and the others arrived in Kasai Valley, Hojo Tokimune thought that it would be useless to move the gold there, but would become a burden, and the gold was hidden extremely secretly, making it difficult for outsiders to find out, so the gold remained in its original place.

According to the family motto of the Hojo clan, the gold must not be used until the moment of life and death. Without this treasure, the Hojo clan would have no chance of gaining a foothold or reviving. Therefore, in the past, Hojo Tokimune would rather borrow money from the princes and lands in various places than take out the gold. Now that it has reached the point of life and death, the gold is useless, and no matter how much it is ten times over, it will not be able to save the defeat, and Zhenshi has been captured alive, and there is no way to talk about revival.

Only the core and cronies of the Hojo family knew about the hidden gold, and Bizen Taiyo and Echigo Sontaro were two of them, and Hojo Tokimura naturally knew about it.

Bizen Taiyo's suggestion was not unreasonable, rather than let the gold be annihilated, it was better to exchange it for the life of Sadasaki, Hojo Tokimune couldn't help but burn a glimmer of hope in his heart, bowed his head and pondered.

Suddenly there was a frantic shouting and scolding outside the mansion, and Hojo Tokimune was stunned, and when he listened carefully, he actually heard the names of Anda Taisheng and Nikaido Xingzuna!

Echigo Suntaro said in surprise, "How could Anda Yasumori and Nikaido Gyotsuna come here at this time?" Will they lead an army against us? What a good minion! ”

Hojo Shizong sneered: "Come on, come on, what's the point of having two of them?" ”

After a while, I heard scolding from far and near, and Bizen Tai Hao said, "It's really strange, are they coming?" What's going on? ”

The three of them looked towards the door together, and after a while, they saw Hojo Tokimura walking straight in with Anda Taimori and Nikaido Yotsuna!

Hojo Tokimune, Bizen Taiyo and Echigo Sun Taro suddenly saw the two, and they couldn't get angry, and they also greeted Anda Yasumori and Nikaido according to the previous etiquette. Anda Taimori and Nikaido Yukitsuna felt ashamed of Hojo Tokimune, and their faces turned a little red.

Anda Taisheng and Nikaido Xinggang came to the front and bowed down at the foot of Hojo Tokimune, and Anda Taisheng said: "Anda Taisheng and Nikaido Xinggang, on the order of the commander of the Great Song Angier Group, came to persuade them to surrender. ”

Hojo Shizong smiled slightly and said, "The two of you came to persuade you to surrender, how can you be so condescending?" I should bow down to you. ”

Anda Taisheng stood up and sighed: "Lord Ruling Authority, how we behave on weekdays, Lord Ruling Power will not know. If it is for his own sake, he would rather die in battle than steal his life. But when I think of the more than 500 people in the clan, even if I am unwilling, I always have to find a way to live. (To be continued.) )
