The castle of the Plains family burned in flames, and the centuries-old castle was reduced to ashes overnight. Hirahara Yoshiyama offended someone he should never have offended, and the end was exactly the same as that of the previous Mori and Musashi families.

But Gao Dong was not the slightest bit happy, he slowly came to the real corpse, squatted down and gently wiped every trace of blood off her face.

She is still so beautiful, even Xiang Xiaoyu can't take away her brilliant brilliance. Gao Dong wanted to smile, but he couldn't laugh when he saw that already cold face.

Sakushin is crying, and so is Kojiro. Only those who are also orphans will shed tears for the truth, and I am afraid that no one else in this world will remember this girl.

Gao Dong's heart was full of self-blame, he really regarded him as a savior, and pinned all his hopes on him. But at the last moment, Gao Dong failed to play the savior, because he was just a person, a flesh-and-blood person who would live, grow old, sick and die!

"him!" Gao Dong patted Zuo Chen's shoulder and said softly: "There is also a castle not far away, and that is your home. Your father's surname is Musashi, and you will be called Musashi Satsu in the future! ”

"Remember the real death, remember the death of everyone here. Don't get involved in any wars, and be your Musashi master! Zuo Chen, I hope that when we meet, you have learned not to shed tears! Gao Dong gently patted Zuo Chen's hairy head.

Zuo Chen looked at Gao Dong with wide eyes, obviously not quite understanding what Gao Dong meant.

Gao Dong smiled and looked at Kanjiro again: "Are you going back to the army?" ”

"No return!" Kanjiro looked at the corpses everywhere and said with a smile: "Everything that happened here tells me that even if I become a general, when I should be abandoned, others will not hesitate to abandon me!" I don't want to go to that kind of army to serve these shameless people, and I don't want to go to war! ”

Kanjiro looked at the helpless Zuo Chen and showed a gentle smile: "Sometimes, the person who needs him the most is around, but he always fails to find it!" I found it, and I found it now! From now on, this is my home, and I will always be by Zuo Chen's side! ”

Gao Dong nodded, he agreed with Kanjiro's choice. He really didn't want this guy from an orphan to appear on the battlefield one day in the future, there was already too much blood shed today, and Gao Dong didn't want to kill another orphan he had once pitied in the future.

The sky is gradually brightening, and Gao Dong and they must retreat. Pingyuan Yishan had apparently instructed the nearby military police to ignore the gunfire here, so not a single soldier or military police approached here all night. But Gao Dong knew that sooner or later the things here would be known to the outside world, and they had to leave as soon as possible, otherwise there would be a lot of trouble.

Before leaving, Takato handed over the token representing the Musashi family to Hojiro. From then on, Satsumi was the most powerful nobleman in Tokushima, and he would directly inherit all the property of the Hirahara, Mori, and Musashi families. Gao Dong believes that with the help of Kanjiro, there should be no problems.

The real corpse Gao Dong handed over to Hojiro, after all, they grew up together since childhood, and Gao Dong was relieved to hand it over to them.

As for Ichiro Hirahara's, Takato took it away. On a hill not far away, Gao Dong personally dug a grave for his former friend and buried him in it.

Ichiro Hihara is a character that Takato can't tell, and his life is full of tragic tunes. Gao Dong silently saluted his former friend, and then led everyone out of here, heading towards the place agreed with John.

It was very peaceful along the way, after all, it was Shikoku, far from the political center of Honshu Island. Although there were many troops on the road, they were able to avoid Gaodong safely.

A day later, they came to the beach. The blue sea is endless, and the deep sky and the sea complement each other, and it seems that there is no end!

Gao Dong and the others waited here for another day, and on the second day, they finally saw the signal issued by the coast to make an agreement with John.

Gao Dong led the people to the coast, and John himself led more than a dozen people to wait here.

Seeing Gao Dong coming, John greeted him with a friendly smile: "Mr. Gao, you are really punctual!" ”

Gao Dong smiled slightly: "What, have all your bases moved to Tokushima?" It's the first time I've seen you bring so many people! ”

John laughed, but did not answer Gao Dong's question directly: "Mr. Gao is about to go away, we must send it off, this is also to express respect for Mr. Gao and all Chinese soldiers!" You've done us a great favor, and if you have the chance, my chief will thank you personally! ”

Gao Dong smiled and nodded: "Has the Japanese Navy's attack been blocked?" ”

"It's really thanks to Mr. Gao, after their arsenal was blown up, it is impossible to transport a large amount of medicine from the mainland to the front line for the time being. So the Japanese navy all withdrew from our seas and wandered in the open seas in order to save ammunition so as not to engage in a melee with our aviation units! At the same time, they also postponed plans to send additional troops to land. The 30,000 troops they sent ashore in advance have already been surrounded by us, and they will be annihilated in the near future! ”

John said excitedly: "Without Mr. Gao's help, all this would not have been possible!" It will not be long before our Navy will be able to have new warships again, and then the Japanese will no longer dare to be arrogant! ”

Gao Dong had no interest in the affairs of the Americans, and he wished that the Japanese would make a mess of the United States, and that it would be much easier for China to deal with the United States in the future.

After exchanging a few words with John, Gao Dong asked, "Where is the ship that sent us?" ”

John looked at his watch, then smiled and said, "In ten minutes they will send out the code, I will personally send you on the ship!" ”

Sure enough, ten minutes later, a signal flashed on the sea, three long and three short signal lights, showing the specific location of the ship.

John took them to the three dinghys moored on the shore, and then more than a dozen Americans began rowing in unison, struggling to row the boats to the place where the big ship was moored on the sea.

John prepared a merchant ship for Gao Dong, flying the Japanese flag, and even the crew on board were Japanese. However, Gao Dong didn't even have to think about it to know that all the people on this ship were spies who had been bought by the Americans, and all of them served the Americans.

Soon, Gao Dong took everyone on board. John stood in the dinghy and waved goodbye to Godong.

"Mr. Gao, I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future!" John shouted at Gao Dong on the side of the ship.

"Yes!" A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of Gao Dong's mouth: "We will always meet again one day!" ”

The boat slowly drove away, and John's skiff faded into the darkness.

The big ship cleaved the waves and headed in the direction of China.

Gao Dong stood at the bow of the boat, facing the sea breeze, his eyes full of anticipation. Returning is a new beginning, and a more tragic war awaits him ahead!
