Great Eunuch of the Ming Dynasty

At this time, Tokui Yoshiku heard the conversation outside, with tears in his eyes, blood stains on his palms with his fingernails, but he didn't dare to cry out, and he didn't dare to rush out to stop his elder brother, because He doesn't have any ability to change all of this, this is the true portrayal of the people in the city of fire.

Tomorrow, go out of the city and up the mountain!

Chapter 6 and Twelve: Temple of the Outer Mountains of the City of Fire

The City of Fire in the morning was less crowded and chillier than before.

Tokui Yoshiki left the City of Fire with his old mother on his back a long time ago. Today, many figures came out of the City of Fire with their mother on their backs, so Lord Kujo Jiro, the lord of the City of Fire, has already ordered that the guards at the city gate The ashigaru infantry let them go, so as not to let these people make excuses not to leave.

"Mom, as long as you get over this mound, you'll be there." Tokui Yoshihime cried sadly.

"Taro, why are you going to that place? You just have to throw your mother down the mountain. What if you encounter a tiger on the mountain? It doesn't matter if you eat your mother. If you hurt Taro, then your mother will die in vain. ?” Mrs. Tokui said while shaking her head on Tokui’s Yiqi’s back.

"Mom!" Tokui Yoshiki didn't expect that his old lady would still think about his comfort at this moment, and he suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart, and had the urge to go home with his old mother on his back.

But obviously, Tokui's sense of righteousness overcame his thoughts, so that he did not take any action, but said helplessly: "Mother! There is a mountain temple on the top of the mountain. Although the mountain temple is dilapidated, at least it is still there." If you can live there, mother, you will at least have a place to stay there, and my son will feel better."

"Taro, you don't need to be like this. As the saying goes, there is no mother who knows what you are like. My mother knows best what kind of person you are. My son is a hero who stands up to the sky. Although you are only a third-rate master now, my mother believes that in the future Taro, you will definitely be promoted to the realm of second-rate masters! Sooner or later, you will regain your father's demeanor!" Tokui said, his eyes radiated the look of thinking about his husband.

"Back then, your father was also the most powerful warrior leader under the Lord City Lord." Tokui recalled.

"What? My father used to be the leader of the warriors under the city lord? Then why didn't the city lord take care of our family after my father died?" Tokui Yoshiki never thought that his dead father would have such an identity , suddenly asked in surprise.

Tokui said with a mournful face, "Taro, you are thinking too much! Your father was the leader of the warriors under the previous castellan, not the leader of the warriors under the current castellan."

"So, the current city lord is the next one to sit on the position of the city lord? Then why didn't you kill your father? The city lord of our city of fire, Kujo Jiro, is not such a good person!" Tokui Yoshiki asked .

As if hearing the doubts in his son's heart, the Dejing family said: "Don't delay going up the mountain. As you walk, I will tell you these things for my mother, so that you won't feel tired."

"Okay! I'll listen to my mother!" Tokui Yoshiki agreed with tears in his eyes. He knew that this was the last time he would listen to his old mother, so he had to cherish the present situation.

Tokui stepped forward with loyalty and carried his old mother, Tokui, towards the mountain, and Tokui began to tell about the past of the city of fire.

It turns out that Fire City was not the city of Satsuma before, but an independent small town. The owner of the city was the patriarch of a big family who didn't like war, and Tokui Yoshiki's father was the samurai leader of this Fire City. The Dejing family is a lady of a small family in the City of Fire. She has been educated and sensible since she was a child, and her father married Dejing's loyal father in order to make friends with power.

Originally, the husband and wife would live a happy and fulfilling life, but unfortunately the sky did not fulfill their wishes, and the good times did not last long. Until the strong rise of the Satsuma domain and the start of eyeing the city of fire, the situation became bad.

When the powerful Satsuma samurai captured the city of fire, the lord of the city of fire who did not love war surrendered, but he was still the patriarch of a big family and was not killed by the daimyo general Shimadzu Yamagi of the Satsuma clan.

After all, in order to stabilize the situation in the City of Fire, the daimyo of the Satsuma Domain, General Shimadzu Sangi, had to win over the families in the City of Fire.

The Lord of the City of Fire is no longer in danger of his life, but the father of Tokui Yoshiki, the leader of the warriors of the City of Fire, has lost his status.

The daimyo of the Satsuma clan, General Shimadzu Sangi, did not dare to let someone he didn’t trust be the samurai leader of the City of Fire, but instead sent his extremely powerful Satsuma samurai to be the samurai leader of the City of Fire.

As for the lord of the City of Fire, Kujo Jiro-sama, he used to be the personal servant of General Shimadzu Sangi, the daimyo of Satsuma, and he was sent to be the lord of the City of Fire after he won the trust of General Shimadzu Sangi of Satsuma.

Because of his previous status, Dejing Yiqi's father, the families in the City of Fire did not dare to get close to him, so the Dejing family could only sit and eat. Fortunately, the family was well-off, otherwise it would not have lasted so long.

It wasn't until one day that Tokui's righteous father was jealous in a brothel with a ninja from Satsuma, and was attacked to death by the ninja with a grudge, the Tokui family plummeted, leading to today's situation.

"I didn't expect my Tokui family to be so powerful before. It's a pity that my Tokui family is not up to the mark. I am just a samurai in the realm of a third-rate master. I have not revived the prestige of the Tokui family. I am really sorry for my father." Walking with Mrs. Tokui, he cried regretfully.

"Taro, don't talk about it, my mother has already seen it, my mother is already so old, I should go to your father." Dejing comforted her, she really didn't want to let her The son will live in guilt in the future, so he will die in vain.

"Mother, don't worry! In the future, the child will definitely live up to expectations!" Tokui said with a firm tone.

"Once you have money in the future, remember to give your brother Jiro Zhang Luo a marriage. If you have a daughter-in-law, your brother will be a bachelor!" Tokui reminded.

Tokui nodded his head and said, "Okay! In the future, as long as the child has money, he will definitely give Jiro a marriage! Let Jiro also marry a wife!"

"Okay! Okay! Oh! Why are there so many people kneeling outside the mountain temple in front of you!" Mrs. Tokui cried out in surprise, lying on Dejing's Yiqi's back, looking at the mountain temple not far away. .

Tokui Yoshiki looked up and found that the people in the city of fire who had abandoned their mothers in the mountains were all kneeling outside the mountain temple on the top of the mountain, as if there was something inside the mountain temple, which made the curious Tokui righteousness suddenly He quickened his pace and headed towards the mountain temple.

"It's really not easy for two ordinary people who are suffering. They were able to get to the top of the mountain. Since they came, they are destined to be with Nine Thousand Years. I will tell you that those who believe in Nine Thousand Years can enjoy a happy life and don't have to suffer from cold and hunger." , will not be oppressed by the vicious city lord!" An old Taoist priest in Taoist robes stood at the entrance of the mountain temple, and said with compassion on his face: "Now bow down to the nine thousand-year-old statue, and you will be able to understand what the poor Taoist said. It's true or false."

Chapter 6 Thirteen: The Gate of Fire

"So nine thousand years old is real! There really are gods in this world!" Tokui Yoshiki knelt on the ground and sighed with sincerity.

"Now we all believe in Nine Thousand Years, and just now Nine Thousand Years has manifested, so I feel relieved now." Dejing said with a smile on his face.

The elderly in this world are more afraid of death as they get older. Everyone wants to live a good life. If there is no other way, who would like to go to the mountains to wait for death?

"Everyone! Please listen to the poor Taoist!" The Taoist priest looked at the people who were discussing and said.

"Please tell the Taoist priest, we must obey the Taoist priest's arrangement." The young people in the crowd responded.

The Taoist priest nodded and said: "Just now, you have witnessed the nine-thousand-year-old supernatural power, and you have also understood the sins of your Fire City. Only when the Ming Dynasty Expeditionary Army captures the Fire City, can you truly give it to you." Comfortable and good environment, and just now Pindao has already talked about the status quo of Jinkela City, Wood City and Water City. "

"Just tell the Taoist priest if you have anything to do!" Tokui Yoshiki stood up and said, patting his chest.

"Oh? This warrior is still a third-rate warrior! Not bad! Not bad!" Seeing Tokui's righteous look, the Taoist priest nodded happily and said, "Everyone's family members will stay on the mountain for the time being. There is a lot of food in it, enough for your family to use for a few days. Please go back to the City of Fire and secretly open the gate of the City of Fire at night, so that the Ming Dynasty Expeditionary Army can enter the city and exchange it for the City of Fire. Master, how is it?"

"Okay! I am willing to give it a try! In order that the people of the City of Fire will not be persecuted by Kujo Jiro, the lord of the City of Fire, and that we will not be abandoned when we grow old, I am willing to secretly open the city gate at night!" Tokui Yoshiki shouted loudly.

Tokui Yoshiki made this decision not out of whim, but because he felt that this was an opportunity, an opportunity to climb up the big tree of the Ming Dynasty Expeditionary Army. Therefore, he was valued by the Ming Dynasty Expeditionary Army. After the Ming Dynasty Expeditionary Army occupied the City of Fire, he would definitely get some benefits. Even if he arranged for a livelihood, it would be better than the current life of eating and waiting to die. many.

"Since this warrior is willing to help, what do you guys think?" The Taoist priest asked the other men again.

Seeing that Tokui Yiki took the lead in agreeing, the rest of the men immediately shouted, "I'm willing to fight!"

"I can't get through anyway, let's fight!"

"For my mother! For Nine Thousand Years!"

"For myself not to be abandoned when I get old! Fight!"

"Okay! Since that's the case, Pindao is giving you some magic weapons given by Nine Thousand Years, but this magic weapon is very powerful. Please also carefully look at how to use this magic weapon, otherwise it will be bad for you to hurt the enemy and yourself. "The Taoist master said, and then he reached out and took out a mysterious object from his arms.

Before dark, the people who went up the mountain finally came back when the gate of the city was about to close.

"Why have you been here for so long? If it wasn't for my uncle, I would have waited on purpose for a while, and now the city gates are closed!" A warrior in charge of guarding the city gate shouted arrogantly.

Tokui's righteousness was in the crowd, looking at this samurai who was only a third-rate master, his heart was filled with resentment, if this guy hadn't been related to the concubine of the city lord Kujo Jiro, how could he become the city gate official?

"Master Samurai, we really don't want to part with our old lady, and we came back after all kinds of reluctance." A middle-aged man said with a sad face.

"Hmph! Who are you showing me with a mournful face!" The warrior guarding the city said angrily, "Hurry up and get in, the city gate will be closed soon!"

A group of men who abandoned their mothers quickly walked into the city of fire, looked at each other, and then went into an alley closest to the gate of the city.

"The front is my house. Everyone hides in my house. When the time is up, we will go out and seize the city gate!" said an older man.
