I, the grandson of the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, earned 100 million taels at the beginning

It doesn't take so many people to save people, and if there are too many people, it is easy to expose their whereabouts.

The main rescuers were the three people led by the blacksmith, and the others were responsible for solving the patrol posts and controlling the gates of the castle.

In a certain room on the top floor of the castle where the blacksmith was located, the silvery moonlight shone into the room through the fist-sized gap in the iron fence.

There are no daily necessities in the empty house, only the cold ground and the choking stench.

Through the faint moonlight, dozens of human-like objects lying on the ground could be faintly seen.

These humanoid objects are skinny, and under the moonlight, the face of the bowl of skull makes people feel cold all over.

"Uncle Dog, do you think we can go back?"

A weak inquiry came from the silent room. A thin skeleton stared blankly at the full moon outside the gap, and opened and closed its mouth slightly.

No one answered, no one spoke.

They have talked about this topic more than once in the past few years, and each time they are full of confidence, but time and pain have gradually made them no longer hopeful about it.

They believed in His Highness, Zheng Tou, and Daming would not give up on them, but day after day, month after month, year after year.

The people around who had encouraged each other were starved to death one by one, and tortured to death by these white pigs one by one.

The savior they were looking forward to did not come, the hope they were looking forward to did not come.

But even so, their loyalty to Daming remained unchanged.

Many people can't forget that those companions who were tortured to death still shouted long live Daming before they died.

Those companions who died of sickness and starvation kept shouting, "Go home...go home...take me home!"

"When I return home, I will lead an army to conquer the barbarians."

"If I can't go home, please live my brother to go home for me, and tell the old mother, wife and children at home that I am brave and fight the enemy to the end."

"If I unfortunately die in battle in a foreign land, please don't abandon me, my fellow countrymen, please scatter my ashes in the land of my hometown, and let me return to the arms of my mother."

The thin and small skeleton illuminated by the moonlight was chanting what an old scribe told him before he died. A mist of water slowly seeped out of those dry eyes that had already lost tears, covering the entire eyes. .

"Wait for me to go home, go home for me, take me home!"

The 12 characters weighed as much as a thousand catties, and the bodies of the skeletons who weighed down the room shivered slightly.

"puff!"

There was a sound of a sharp blade piercing through the flesh, and the blacksmith carefully put the patrolling guard in front of him to the ground.

With the help of the weak oil lamp in the hole in the wall, I quickly observed the surrounding situation, stretched out my hand and waved to the back, two of the four people held pistols, and the other two held short knives like blacksmiths, and advanced quickly in a tactical formation.

After solving a few guards, the group entered the castle.

Due to uncertainty, whether those captured brothers were locked up here, and because Amo didn't come, they couldn't speak the language, so they couldn't ask the prisoners, so they could only search from room to room.

Coming to a closed iron door, the blacksmith quickly glanced inside through the gap.

After confirming that there were only two or three people inside, he immediately turned around and looked for the next room.

According to what they know, there are at least 60 to [-] people on their side who are still alive, so their immediate goal is to lock in the cell with a large number of people, and if there are no large numbers of people, they will open the door one by one to ask.

It's best if it's one of your own, if not, ha ha!

Time passed slowly, rooms were searched one by one, and guards were brought down one by one.

Seeing that the castle was about to be searched and the captured partners had not been found yet, the blacksmith's expression became more and more gloomy.

There may be only two who did not find those partners.

First, those brothers are not in this cell.

Second, those brothers couldn't hold on, and now they are all dead, or there are only two or three people left, and they are locked in the room they just looked at.

If these two were the first ones, the blacksmith would feel better.

If it's the second one, the blacksmith will definitely go crazy.

His younger brother might still be among them. Thinking of the way his parents cried when he went back a few years ago when they heard the news of his missing brother, he felt a heart-wrenching pain in his heart.

"Tie Hammer, Tie Hammer, you must be alive. Our father and mother are still waiting for you at home. As long as you are still alive, our family will give you whatever you want, and my brother will pay you to marry a wife. Marry the most beautiful daughter-in-law."

"God, please, bless my brother alive, as long as he is alive, I will give you the best incense and the best tribute every year from now on."

Thinking of his younger brother who was once drawn into the army by him, the blacksmith wanted to give him two big mouths.

At the beginning, he went to sea with Zhu Zhangui to earn money, and when he returned, he saw his younger brother wandering around all day with nothing to do, so he licked his old face and begged his officer to take his younger brother in, thinking of giving his younger brother a guarantee of life, It will be easier to get married in the future.

Later, the formation where the two brothers belonged was borrowed by Zheng He and followed him to the west again.

Although it was dangerous and difficult at the beginning, the two brothers were lucky and both survived. The younger brother was appreciated by Zheng He and took him with him as a follower.

In the attack that night, the blacksmith was guarding the boat, and his younger brother followed Zheng He to the banquet, but his younger brother disappeared.

No one knew whether he was alive or dead. The scene was so chaotic that there was nowhere to be found.

From then on, the blacksmith, who always smiled at everyone, no longer had a smile on his face, and was worried and regretful all day long. In just a few years, a man who was just 30 years old had all white hair.

Praying to God's blessing in his heart, the blacksmith's pace accelerated a bit.

Maybe he was distracted, or maybe he really didn't notice. When he turned a corner, the blacksmith happened to be face to face with two Portuguese guards who came down the stairs.

The atmosphere froze instantly, and both sides were stunned when they saw each other, but the blacksmith had prepared in advance.

While the other party was still in a daze, he and a partner beside him sprinted forward.

One by one, they stretched out their hand to cover the mouth of the opponent who was about to exclaim, raised the sharp short blade with the other hand, and stabbed it fiercely from the opponent's jaw, and the sharp thorn went straight into the opponent's brain.

"call!"

Taking a deep breath, the blacksmith put the enemy's body on the ground, then pinched his thighs hard to refresh himself, put aside those distracting thoughts that shouldn't be there now, and continued to grope up.

"Oh!"

The closed iron door was kicked open heavily, and two Portuguese guards, whose faces were flushed from drinking, came in cursing because of the sound from the room just now, which disturbed their interest in drinking.

They also knew that due to the language barrier, the skeletons on the ground could not understand what they said, so they directly swung their whips and whipped the shriveled skeletons lying on the ground.

The whips woven with ponytails and various kinds of ropes were whipped on the shriveled skeletons, making drumming sounds.

After venting, seeing that the skeleton on the ground didn't even make a sound, the two Portuguese soldiers laughed, unbuttoned their pants and poured water on the thin skeleton in front of them.

While releasing water, they also humiliated them.

"Damn yellow-skinned monkey, you're thirsty, the great master knight rewards you with a sip of rice wine, hahahaha..."

Rampant laughter resounded throughout the room, and the skeletons lying on the ground clenched their fists tightly, their teeth gnawed.

"I call you mother!"

Just when the skeletons endured the humiliation and vowed to keep this humiliation in their hearts, a curse they were familiar with and could no longer be familiar with sounded from the door.

The skeleton, who was so hungry that he didn't even have the strength to lift his fingers, suddenly raised his head and looked towards the place where the voice came from.

The dim light of the oil lamp came in from the door, and the skeletons' eyes, which had already been blurred due to long-term malnutrition, vaguely saw a black figure rushing in with a gleaming weapon, and threw itself on the two Portuguese soldiers. , the sharp blade in his hand desperately stabbed in.

Dark red warm blood spurted from the soldiers of the Portuguese country, and splashed on the faces and even the mouths of the surrounding skeletons lying on the ground.

The thin and small skeleton who was humiliated by the Portuguese country just rolled his tongue, swallowing the salty and stinky blood, listening to the familiar voice that appeared in dreams many times, the tears in his eyes could no longer be stopped Big ones fall.

But there was no cry from his mouth, but a giggle like a devil crying.

Chapter 339: Grape Country: After working hard for more than ten years, I went back to begging overnight!

"Iron head, iron head, it's okay, he's dead!"

The partner next to him who was working together stopped the blacksmith who was stabbing madly and stopped his crazy behavior.

This is not because this partner can't bear it, but because he doesn't want to expose his whereabouts and put everyone in danger.

"Hahahahaha..."

As the blacksmith stopped, the room was quiet for a while, and then a weak and hoarse laughter came to mind.

Those skeleton men who were lying on the ground have slowly supported each other to stand up.

They looked at the two men in black standing in front of them, and the two men who were vigilant at the door, with excitement and nervousness in their eyes.

Excitedly, the person they were looking forward to finally came.

Nervously, they are afraid that this is a dream that is often lived, and it will be shattered at the touch of a button.

"Brother, is that you?"

The thin little skull was also helped up. He looked at the tall man in black clothes splattered with blood, and made a trembling confirmation.

I don't know how many days and nights, he dreamed of this scene, but every time he was surprised, he was awakened by the whip and scolding.

This time, although he confirmed that it was not a dream many times, he still couldn't believe it.

"Ding dong!"

The sharp short thorn full of blood fell to the ground, and the tall man walked towards the thin skeleton, reached out and took off the face scarf, revealing a face full of signs of time.

The strand of white hair protruding from the hood looked particularly glaring against the face covered with blood.

"elder brother!"

Seeing clearly this face he was familiar with and couldn't be more familiar with, the skinny skeleton couldn't help calling out in surprise.

Hearing the call that he hated since he was a child but has been looking forward to it for the past few years, the blacksmith, a strong and brave man, could no longer control his emotions. He didn't care about the strange smell on his brother, and stepped forward to embrace him in the arms.

The blacksmith is a veteran who has experienced the baptism of many years of war. He was wounded and bled without shedding a tear.In everyone's impression, he is a strong man.

But today, he cried like a baby in one month.

There are both surprises and joy after reunion in this cry, and it is also mixed with infinite regret.

The weak little skeleton was not much better. He lay in his brother's arms, sobbing softly, venting the grievance and despair of the past few years, and venting the joy of reuniting with his brother again.

Seeing the two brothers hugging tightly without any words, just crying to vent their emotions, the faces of the people around them showed happy smiles.

The skeleton people confirmed that this is not a dream, this is a real reality.

Daming, the country that made them dream about it many times, their strongest backing, the empire they guarded with their lives and blood, has gone through several years, and with their expectations and prayers, they came all the way to pick them up go home.

Going home, two simple words, is the biggest wish in the hearts of all the skeleton people.

"Dang bang bang bang bang..."

Just when everyone was pleasantly surprised by the reunion, a bell rang suddenly, breaking everyone's joy.

The blacksmith, who was holding his younger brother and crying, was suddenly awakened by the sound.

"No, we're exposed!"

It must be the laughter of the crowd and the crying just now. The sound of fighting alarmed the enemy.

And what's more terrible is that those brothers who dealt with the dark whistle may not have found this person, or have not yet reached this person.

"Old fox, take your brothers to the dungeon we saw just now. The others will guard the castle with me and wait for His Highness' reinforcements to come."

"Old blacksmith, let us join you. I have suffered enough from these white-skinned pigs in the past few years. Today I want to take revenge."

Hearing the blacksmith's arrangement, a skeleton stood up and clamored to join the battle.

The other skeletons were also eager to try, rubbing their dry palms one by one, staring straight at the blacksmith, ready to fight.

"Okay, old dog head, now I have the highest military rank here and I am the head. According to military regulations, you should listen to me. If you are still a Ming soldier, execute the order immediately!"

Letting these extremely weak people go out to fight is simply a big joke.

Not to mention that he had the confidence to hold the castle, even if he couldn't hold it, the blacksmith would not let these brothers who had suffered so much and were already exhausted join the battle.

These brothers have paid enough for Daming, now it's time for them to rest and get ready to go home.

The skeleton man who stood up looked at the old blacksmith's firm eyes, slightly moved his slender legs together, raised his skinny palm, and saluted a military salute that he hadn't done in several years.

After comforting the younger brother a few times, after the skeleton brothers were helped away one by one by other men in black, the blacksmith caught the old fox he had arranged just now.

Looking at his partner who has fought side by side for many years, the blacksmith was silent for a while, and then said to him: "Take care of my brother, I will do my best to block the enemy, if I die, you must take him home."

The old fox nodded heavily, and accepted the old brother's request.

After the captured brother was taken away, the blacksmith picked up the short thorn he had thrown on the ground just now, and put it in the sheath around his waist.

Then he squatted beside the enemy he killed just now, and after a while of searching, he put the enemy's armor on his body.

Holding the never-used western knight sword in his hand, the blacksmith took a deep breath, came to the castle watchtower, raised the signal flare he had prepared long ago, and pulled the trigger towards the sky.
