30. What the birds see (middle)(1/2)
Ryuma Sakamoto.
The name of the Three Han Longma Kingdom was commanded by the Japanese Kingdom in exile, and built a country in that bitter and cold place, and conquered a great country for more than ten years.
According to Monk Zhenji's description, the time when this devastated warrior who lost his lord left Japan was the time when the Penglai people were fooling around in Japan.
According to the original view of the Japanese, this overseas Ryuma Kingdom is a large bandit nest composed of ronin and pirates.
Anyone who has a little status and a little contribution in Japan will look down on the scenes of the Dragon Horse Kingdom.
But good or bad things need to be compared.
The situation in Japan has been in a fast-forward to the hell on earth in less than ten years, which has really shocked everyone's eyes, and despair like the sea keeps coming.
The desperate people either go to the Penglai people to be obedient.
Or you have to find your own way of life.
Under such circumstances, the Dragon Horse Kingdom, which was once looked down upon by most people, has become a good place in the hearts of the Japanese people.
Rumors about it have also been mentioned in Kyoto.
Even in the northernmost mountain of Akita, some people have heard the legend of Ryuma Kingdom.
Under such circumstances, in the past few years, Ryuma Sakamoto has not only continued to conquer cities and plunder the lands of the Three Koreans, but also took advantage of the weakening of the overseas kamikaze and continued to send people back to Japan, continuing to bring more samurai and people.
For a time, the capital of Pyongyang, the largest city in the Three South Koreans, was established, and the country of Longma was more and more prosperous.
There were originally several small countries in Sanhan.
When the Great Chu was still there, they were still vassals of the Great Chu. After the chaos in the Middle Kingdom, several small countries also attacked each other like cockfighting.
They wanted to follow the example of Zhongtu and go to the court and build a unified kingdom belonging to the Three Koreans.
But after the strong attack of the Dragon Horse Kingdom several years ago, these small countries lost their lives. They were either attacked and annexed by the Dragon Horse Warriors, or fled to the bitter and cold land further north.
They have asked for help, but Zhongtu has been in chaos for more than 20 years and cannot handle their own affairs well? How can they send troops to interfere in the outside world?
Although the southern country, which claimed to be the orthodox of Great Chu, had navy troops to fight, was powerless in the face of the offensive from the northern country.
The northern country's thoughts are all about the southern country.
I have no interest in controlling border areas like Sanhan. As for Ryuma Sakamoto? How did he happily get online with the Northern Dynasties in these years? That's another story.
At present, the Seven Demons of the Yellow Springs were left on the beach, and under the escort of several warriors, Shen Qiu and the other two stepped into the camp in the bay of Flower and Bird Island. Finally, they saw the legendary Daming of Dragon Horse.
When he first met, Shen Qiu had a good impression of this dragon and horse daimyo.
He is about forty years old.
Without wearing the iconic keto-shaped warriors, and without the need to be decorated with horns or blades, they are wearing black linen clothes, which is very convenient for movement.
But it is somewhat different from Zhongyuan clothing.
I was wearing a wooden clog that was not tall? I was wearing a long gray cloak that was half old and not new, and a Japanese knife with a black scabbard around my waist. I also had a shorter tooth knife around my waist.
This is his weapon.
Judging from the emblem of the two swords, they should be two famous objects. However, these two swords are rare in Japan. I heard that Monk Shinji said that Ryuma was a master of the Great Sword Saint of Musashi and learned the peerless sword technique called "Two Tian First Class".
This man did not have the weird hairstyles of Japanese daimyos, he ignored him and had half a bald man, or had a tight bun on his hair.
His hair was somewhat similar to Shen Qiu's broken hair.
But it was longer and a little more scattered, with a single ponytail tied behind the head.
There was still sighing stubble on his chin.
At first glance, the most eye-catching thing was the eye mask he wore with his right eye.
This was probably the only decoration on him that was somewhat related to luxury. The eye mask was black and gold-edged, and a small monster emblem was embroidered on the surface.
He was not tall, about 1.7 meters tall, with wide shoulders, and several knife wounds on his cheeks, destroying the softness of his face, but also giving him a bit of murderous aura.
The left eye is very bright and the pupils are a little gray and blue.
He doesn't seem very mighty.
This Ryuma Daming looks very much like an exotic warrior, with a feeling of free and heavy fusion on his body.
It gives Chen Qiu the feeling that he is like those in the Middle Earth martial arts masters who have achieved success in their practice but are low-key in their practice.
I have to describe it more profoundly.
It's like a middle-aged uncle who is sitting quietly in the corner in the blurred light, drinking by himself, in his forties, silent, experienced, and a hint of elegant aura.
Although the knife wound on the face destroys the overall harmony, the more this happens, the more mysterious it becomes.
It makes people want to explore his past.
He doesn't like to show off his status and force.
Although the 30,000 troops were not far away, at this time, when Chen Qiu walked in in the temporary camp, he was the only one sitting on a stool, and roasting dried food like dried meat on the fire pit on the ground.
"Master, you really listen to my advice and come to Middle Earth."
After a few people entered the camp, Longma Daming picked up the dry food in his hand, put it under the tip of his nose and sniffed it. He then blew the hot food, took a small bite, and said vaguely:
"Have you found what you are looking for and can bring hope to Japan?"
Chinese.
It has a hint of accent, but it is barely pure, with a hulking voice, but not artificial.
“Not yet.”
The monk Zhenji was an old acquaintance with the Longma Daming. When he saw Longma asking, the old monk replied:
"But I have found a way. Is it what I want? I have to walk to the end before I can see it."
"Then you might as well come and help me."
Longma Daming's eyes stopped on Shen Qiu's body, then looked at the old monk and said:
"In my Dragon Horse Kingdom, there are few great monks like you. If you go over, the panic and samurai people and the warriors will be comforted by the gods and Buddhas.
whispering sound.
One by one, they all fled the country and couldn't let go of their hometown. They couldn't regard it as a new home. People's hearts were unstable, so how could they let my Dragon Horse Kingdom prosper?"
"What's the use of your 'bandit' to prosper?"
The old monk Zhenji sighed and said:
"If Penglai is not eliminated, when they attack Zhongdi, no matter how well you hide in the border, you will be just a native chicken and a tile dog.
Longma, you are the leader of the Japanese warriors today. You are from a famous scholar and have a wide range of knowledge. You shouldn’t not know this.
The old monk came to see you today to persuade you to take the warriors of the Dragon Horse Kingdom with the name of "Three Desolates" in your hands and join the command of the Great Sword Saint of the Heaven.
We will contribute our strength to this great cause of defeating Penglai and saving the world."
"You big monk, you have become a lobbyist for others."
Longma was a little dissatisfied. He put the last piece of dried meat into his mouth, threw the bamboo stick aside, stood up, held the handle of the knife at his waist, and said to Monk Zhenji:
"Since the Emperor died in the sea of fire and Uesugi Daime died in the war, I knew that I was a lonely star in the Tensha.
Whoever you follow will be unlucky. In order not to implicate others, I can only do things for myself. I took the wild warriors who had lost their heads, and went to the Three Hans to pioneer the territory with the wild warriors like me.
Now, I am a famous person after all, how could I sell myself to others if you say it casually?
You old monk, it seems that you are really confused."
After saying this, Longma looked at Chen Qiu and Hua Qing, and he said:
"I don't hide it from you. This time I brought the warriors of the Dragon Horse Kingdom to Middle-earth to fulfill the military-national alliance with the North. Just wait for the North to launch, and then I will attack the hinterland of the South from the coast to help the North conquer the Southern Dynasty.
But I also know that you Middle-earth warriors are powerful and very difficult to deal with. They don’t want me to die in vain, so they parked the fleet here.
I invite you here this time to sell you personal favors.”
A sly smile appeared on Longma Daming's face, and he said:
"I will tell you one, for you, it is crucial news. Don't stop us from logging in, okay?"
Chen Qiu and Hua Qing looked at each other.
He turned around and said:
"If you don't have news, don't worry, I'll come here with Master Zhenji. I'm also going to talk to you Japanese warriors to see if you can avoid military disasters.
But when he really got here, Chen suddenly discovered that there were some interesting things hidden in your fleet.”
Chen Qiu's words stopped.
He looked at Ryuma Sakamoto in front of him and said:
"What I want to say next is that Longma Jun is afraid that he will not be able to make the decision. I will wait here. You should invite the real Longma Daming first. How about it?"
Ryuma Sakamoto was stunned when he heard this. The next moment, he seemed to be angry, snorted and said coldly:
"Your Excellency, what does this mean? Is it provoking? No one in the world knows this, I am the name of Longma Kingdom!"
"I know."
