Chapter 722: The Lost Dog

The Emperor is missing!

Ouchi Yoshiko was furious when he heard the news, and almost killed the retainers who came to report the news, he ordered Kyoto to be on full alert for a search, and personally went to the palace to search, after a drizzle, there was no trace of the scene except for the broken carriage and scattered weapons.

Ouchi Yoshixing only feels that the world is spinning, Kyoto may be lost at any time, if he even loses the emperor, the trouble will be big, don't look at everyone doesn't care much about the emperor, for those who have the heart to seek the world, the emperor is like a trump card, who is in the hands of whom, who justifiably has an excuse to ask for others.

If the emperor has been lost today, Ouchi Yoshixing knows that he is despising the other party too much in the fight against the Hosokawa clan, and now he has even lost the last trump card, Ouchi Yoshixing only has one last way, that is, to evacuate Kyoto and return to his old nest to survive, as for making peace with Hosokawa Gaogong? Ouchi Yoshiko had never considered it, he would rather die than succumb to Hosokawa!

Ouchi Yoshiko continued to resist for half a day, and when he could not search for the emperor, he could only leave Kyoto in the face of the increasingly fierce attacks of the Hosokawa clan.

Hosokawa Takagong did not wait for Kinoshita Awa to return, knowing that the plan to seize the emperor had failed, he immediately ordered his men to attack Kyoto, and when the Ouchi clan abandoned Kyoto, the Hosokawa clan's army pursued it, but in the end it still did not take the emperor back.

A long knife captured after the killing of a samurai of the Ouchi clan was sent to Hosokawa Takagon, who recognized it at a glance, and this knife was the sword he gave to Kinoshita Awa - Broken Wave!

Since the Broken Wave Sword appeared in the hands of the Ouchi clan's samurai, Kinoshita Awa must have folded it in the hands of the Ouchi clan, and the emperor naturally followed the Ouchi clan.

Hosokawa Takagong angrily swung his knife and split a table in front of him in two, and he said hatefully: "Continue the pursuit!" We must wipe out the Ouchi clan and take back the emperor! ”

Hosokawa Takagong found the wrong target, the emperor was afraid that he would never be able to get it back, just when Ouchi Yoshiko Dasuo Kyoto, the emperor's family of three had quietly come to the port, and a flat boat left the port in the wind and rain and sailed towards the dark sea......

After several turnarounds, avoiding everyone's attention, the emperor's family of three finally arrived safely at the port of Hotsu, and when the emperor woke up, the rain that had been falling for three days finally stopped, and Emperor Nara slowly opened his eyes, first looked around, and then sat up.

"What is this place?" Emperor Gonara thought suspiciously.

A maid knocked on the door and saluted Emperor Nara: "Your Majesty the Emperor, this is Fangjin Port, you and your family are now under the protection of the Ming Mission, please wash up and eat first, Lord Wei Guogong has instructed that he will come to meet with His Majesty the Emperor as soon as possible after he wakes up." ”

"Ming envoys! Wei Guogong!? Emperor Nara stood up in surprise and said, "Is the envoy group of the Ming really here?" And is it the Wei Guo Gong Duan Fei in person? I can't be dreaming, am I? ”

The maid smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, it's not a dream, it's all true, if you have any questions, you can ask Wei Guogong in person, little ones, come in with things quickly, and wait for His Majesty the Emperor to wash up......"

When Emperor Nara woke up, Duan Fei was playing chess with Song Suqing, although Song Suqing felt that it was a little wrong for Duan Fei to be so obsessed with chess, but he was ordered to keep Duan Fei in Fangjin Port, since Duan Fei and the Ming Mission had no changes, Song Suqing didn't care much.

The news from the front came, the Hosokawa clan has taken Kyoto, and Song Suqing has not been recruited back, and there is no plan to invite the Ming envoys to Kyoto, it seems that the situation has changed, but Hosokawa Gaogong has no instructions, Song Suqing has a feeling of being abandoned, and in frustration, how can he continue to defend the Hosokawa clan wholeheartedly?

Su Rong came from outside and whispered something in Duan Fei's ear, Duan Fei nodded, and Su Rong retreated.

Duan Fei casually played a black chess piece and blocked an air eye on his chessboard, Song Suqing was stunned for a moment, looked up at Duan Fei, Duan Fei smiled and said: "Song Suqing, have you noticed that you are in danger like this chess now?" ”

Song Suqing said with a strange expression: "Su Qing doesn't know what Guogong means? Now that the Hosokawa family is in a good situation, why is it said that it is in danger? ”

Duan Fei smiled and said: "Just listen to your three words 'Hosokawa family', you know that you are not unaware of your own situation, in the past, you kept saying how our Xichuan family was." ”

Song Suqing said in a deep voice: "Su Qing just made a slip of the tongue for a while, Su Qing was born from the Hosokawa family, and died as a ghost of the Hosokawa family, Master Duan doesn't need to waste any more time trying to recruit me." ”

Duan Fei stared at him and smiled, "Really? ”

Song Suqing nodded categorically and said, "I have made up my mind!" Never change! ”

Duan Fei smiled slightly and said, "Su Qing, you play chess with me here every day, and leave everything else to your deputy, what is the guy called Xintian Sanzao?" ”

Song Suqing's eyes shrank, and he said in a deep voice: "Yes, so what? ”

Duan Fei smiled and said: "It's not that much, it's just that the official's subordinates have just discovered some interesting things in the past few days, such as Xintian Sanzao is more diligent than you, and he has to send carrier pigeons three times a day, don't you say it's strange?" ”

Song Suqing was silent for a moment and said, "So what? Even if the head of the family doubts me, I will not do anything to betray the Lord and seek glory. ”

Duan Fei sneered: "You are really stupid and loyal, if Hosokawa Gaogong wants to kill you, you won't do anything to resist, will you be killed?" ”

Song Suqing stiffened her neck and said: "Yes, my life was given by the head of the family, and if the head of the family doesn't use my words, there is no point in my life." ”

Duan Fei looked at him indifferently, shook his head slightly, and said, "Then you can go and die now." ”

Duan Fei took out a piece of letterhead from his sleeve, threw it on the chessboard, and said, "This is from Xintian Sanzao's hands, you can die after reading it." ”

Song Suqing's expression was miserable, he hesitated for a while before reaching out to pick up the letterhead, after reading it, he was silent, a gust of wind blew, and the letterhead fell to the ground, Song Suqing looked dazed, and didn't seem to notice it at all.

Duan Fei clapped his hands, and the two guards came in with a short widow who was tightly tied and gagged, and Duan Fei asked, "How is the situation outside?" Is the situation already under control? ”

The two guards said, "If you go back to your lordship, we have completely controlled this port." ”

Duan Fei said with satisfaction: "Then take down what is in this person's mouth, the public of the country has something to ask him." ”

It was Song Suqing's deputy, Xintian Sanzao, who was tied up and thrown to kneel in front of Duan Fei, and once his mouth was empty, he scolded loudly.

"Slap the mouth, beat him until he is honest." Duan Fei said coldly.

'Papapa......' The two guards beat the palm-sized pieces of wood back and forth on the face of Xintian Sanzao, shouting while beating: "Nod your head when you learn to be obedient, otherwise you will be killed and thrown into the sea to feed the fish!" ”

Xintian Sanzao's face was beaten to the flesh and flesh not long after, even the teeth were knocked out a few times, and his mouth was full of blood, Xintian Sanzao saw that the person who beat him had no intention of stopping, and if he continued to fight, he would no longer want to eat something a little harder, Xintian Sanzao finally chose to give in, he nodded desperately, and the two of them fought a few more times before stopping, turned to Duan Feiyu and said: "My lord, this guy should have learned to be obedient." ”

Duan Fei nodded, glanced at Song Suqing, who was stunned, and looked at Xintian Sanzao and asked, "Xintian Sanzao, my country doesn't recognize your words, what is written on the paper?" ”

Xintian Sanzao spat out blood and said hoarsely: "If you return to the country, it is a secret order from the head of the Hosokawa family to the villain, let the villain spy on Song Suqing, and once he finds out that Song Suqing has the intention of betrayal, he will kill him." ”

Duan Fei continued to ask, "What now?" You burned a copy of your latest letter last night, what was written on it? ”

Xintian Sanzao's eyes flickered, and he hesitated to answer, the two guards raised the plank in their hands again, and Xintian Sanzao hurriedly replied: "My lord, that is also a secret letter from the head of the family, the letter says...... The situation has changed, let me do it immediately, kill Song Suqing, and ...... And Wei Guogong and all the Ming people came to be members of the envoy corps......"

Duan Fei's eyes flashed, and he said, "Hosokawa Gaogong wants to kill the Ming Mission, isn't he afraid of causing a war between the two countries?" Da Ming is not the Ouchi clan, even the Ouchi clan was defeated with the help of the Jinyi Wei musketeers! ”

Xintian Sanzao said: "The villain really doesn't know why the head of the family made this decision, but ...... The letter also asked the villain to find a family of three before killing everyone, although the head of the family did not specify their identities, but said that I will understand when I see it, and the villain still can't understand who the head of the family is. ”

Duan Fei pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Hosokawa Gaogong is not too stupid, he actually guessed a few points, you can take him down......"

Xintian Sanzao was taken down, Duan Fei looked at Song Suqing and said, "Song Suqing, have you thought clearly?" Now you have two choices, first, to fall with the Hosokawa clan, and second, to take refuge in your own prince from now on, help your own prince to assist the emperor to ascend the throne, eliminate the other daimyos, and let Japan get real peace! ”

Song Suqing finally had a reaction, and he muttered, "Lord Hosokawa really wants to kill me...... Hosokawa-sama really wants to kill me......"

"Song Suqing!" Duan Fei shouted: "Raise your head and look at me like a man!" ”

Song Suqing was shocked, raised his head, Duan Fei's eyes pierced Song Suqing's heart like an arrow, and said coldly: "Song Suqing, even if you want to be a dog for others, people don't want you, because you are still an outsider to the Japanese, besides, is Hosokawa Gaogong really good to you?" Not necessarily, right? I've checked your information, and after you were sold to the Hosokawa family, you were sent to a place called Onishi, where there are many children, and you have to fight to the death in order to get a loaf ......of bread."

Listening to Duan Fei's words, many dusty memories resurfaced, and Song Suqing held her head with trembling hands and shouted in pain: "Enough, don't talk about it......!" ”
