Lao Cao led a group of brothers and chased in the direction pointed by Emperor Toba before his death.
There are jingshes on the left and right sides of the inner courtyard, where most of the wealthy and powerful people live. Most of the Fujiwara clan's surnames live on the left, and those of the Taira, Gen, and Tachibana families on the right.
Cao Cao and others fought to the right. Looking around, every house was closed.
Cao Cao pondered slightly, he only has a few people, and there are so many houses. How can he search every house? Simply look at Shi Qian: "Brother, at this moment, it still depends on your ability."
Shi Qian smiled and retaliated with his fist: "Brother, don't worry, let's wait for news from my little brother!" He twisted his body and made a "little swallow flying through the clouds" to jump up to the house.
At this time, the sky was dimly lighted, and it was obvious that the night was about to pass. All the brothers looked up to watch the show, and saw Shi Qian running briskly on the roof of the house like a civet cat. He listened here, looked over there, and looked around. After half a stick of incense, he suddenly stood up and pointed downwards.
Everyone in Cao Cao was overjoyed. They immediately went to take a look and saw a plaque in front of the mansion with four words: "Qinghe Genji".
Cao Cao looked up for a while and then said: "The brothers named Yuan are all loyal and righteous people. If their wives and children do not resist, we will not harm them."
All brothers should be like this. Zhou Tong wanted to show off his heroism and kicked the door.
If it is a wooden door, after receiving this kick, the door latch will be broken, and it will naturally open wide. However, this door of his house is made of fine wood and bamboo. It is so dark that it is difficult to see clearly. If you light a torch and take a closer look, You can see the colorful and beautiful patterns.
But beauty is beauty, but it is solid but not solid. Zhou Tong kicked a hole in it, and his leg sank straight in. Zhou Tong didn't expect that the door was so weak, and he couldn't help himself, and was stuck up and down the door. No, he was so frightened that he screamed: "Oh, I fell into a trap, brothers, save me!"
It’s no wonder that he panicked. If there was an ambush behind the door, with just one knife, the whole thigh would be removed and the upper part of the treasure would be cut off. Wouldn’t it be a disaster?
Duan Jing and Meng Kang hurriedly stepped forward, hugged their bodies and pulled them out.
Zhou Tong became so angry that he raised his halberd and chopped the door into a pile of firewood. He rushed in like a vicious dog and shouted loudly: "Prince Baihe, I have three generals from the Yuan family, and two of them died fighting for you." Half a year old, you are a good man, so go out and challenge Uncle Zhou, don't hide at home and harm other people's women and children."
Cao Cao rushed in immediately, and saw a courtyard in front of the door, complete with small bridges, ponds, rockery and trees, and the ground was covered with white sand. Under the faint dawn light, it had a unique beauty of silence and emptiness.
After passing the courtyard, there are a series of houses, all of which are big houses half a foot off the ground. Lao Cao once heard Tamamo no Zen say that Fuso nobles like to live in big houses. They built small houses in the houses, with wooden boards, bamboo curtains, mats, etc. etc., to outline interior spaces for different uses.
At this time, when facing the big house, the sliding door was suddenly opened. Minamoto Yorinobu strode out and stood under the eaves with an angry look on his face: "Are you going to kill them all? Come on, my Minamoto clan's men are not dead yet."
His upper body was bare, his left arm was wrapped with gauze, and his wound had obviously just been wrapped. He held a sword in his right hand and looked at Cao Cao and his party angrily.
As he finished speaking, there was a sound of suppressed weeping from women and children from behind the house.
Shi Wengong said happily: "Oh, it's you! The arrow didn't leave you behind before, but you dared to jump out on your own!"
Sun An was also very happy: "Hurry up and give the scabbard and surrender obediently. I beg my brother to spare your life."
Minamoto Yorinobu raised his sword and shouted: "My Minamoto family only has samurai who died in battle, how can there be any men who surrendered? Yorinobu's order is here. If you want to take it, come and get it yourself!"
There were originally many retainers and warriors in the Minamoto family, but they all died in the palace with his brothers. Now, he was the only one guarding the huge Minamoto family with his injured body.
Cao Cao pitied his loyalty and bravery, hesitated slightly, stopped Sun An who was about to step forward, and persuaded him: "General Yuan, although the mantis sword skill is high, it can't stop the cart from moving forward. Wu kindly advises you, don't follow the example of that mantis. Blocking a car!"
Minamoto Yorinobu said angrily: "You are originally from the Song Dynasty, but you came to Fusang to collude with us to rebel, destroy the army and kill the generals. You are extremely malicious, and you have nothing to say to persuade. If foreigners come to you, the Song Dynasty will kill the Song Emperor." , how are you staying?"
Cao Cao spread his hands and said: "As long as you don't hurt the people and tell the truth, Wu will be happy to see it happen - if you don't believe it, follow me back to the Song Dynasty. I will take you into the palace and you go and kill the emperor. Wu will not even frown." brow."
Minamoto Yorinobu didn't expect him to be so lazy. He was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "It turns out that in the Song Dynasty, you were a man without a king and a father. It doesn't matter. People like you naturally don't know what loyalty is."
Cao Cao was slightly angry and thought to himself that Yunchang and I are good friends. Yunchang is loyal, courageous, and righteous. You say that I don't understand loyalty?
He immediately raised his head and laughed: "That's all, you guys only know how to be foolish and loyal, but don't know about righteousness. No wonder you can't understand what I'm saying."
Minamoto Yorinobu said angrily: "How can I not understand the meaning of justice?"
Cao Cao widened his eyes and shouted: "If you understand, wouldn't you hear that 'the king chooses his ministers, and the ministers also choose their king'?" Hiroyuki Shirakawa, in terms of righteousness, he usurped the power of the emperor, and in terms of personal ethics, he raped his grandson's wife, and he was a shameless person. Your character, you can be said to have no virtue as a king. In addition to your lack of character and virtue, you are also incompetent. I sent someone to murder the weak woman Tamamo Mae, but I rescued her. I invited the Great Tengu Ghost to assassinate me. I killed several people in a majestic way. But again and again, nothing could be done. I, along with a dozen brothers and dozens of cavalrymen, killed the 4,000 soldiers of Ping'an Capital, with no more than a hundred people in total, and penetrated his imperial city. It was truly incompetent. Beyond incompetence, He is even more courageous. He scurried to your Yuan family in a panic, not thinking that all the men in your family died fighting for him in the palace. Do you still expect your women and children to protect him? You said, this person has no character, no virtue, no ability and no use. , if you knew the righteousness, how could you allow such scum to control the power of the country?"
Just as Minamoto Yorinobu was about to argue, he suddenly heard Zhou Tong shouting in a lively manner: "Ah, brother, I know why Baihe came to the Yuan family!"
He wanted to say: My family is a loyal minister. Isn't it natural for me to come to my house? Before he could speak, he heard Jiao Ting curiously say: "Because you are so incompetent that you panic and don't choose a way?"
Zhou Tong waved his hand and shook his head and said with a smile: "No, no, humph, you think this guy even has his grandson's daughter-in-law's hands sticky, so you can see that he is an old pervert. He must have found out that all the men in the Yuan family are dead and wants to find him." The women in your family are happy and joyful, Minamoto Nobunobu, I guess I'm right, there must be some famous beauty in your family, right? Hey, it's a pity that the King of Birds didn't expect that you came back alive. Do you believe it or not? If he doesn’t come, he will probably kill you, an eyesore like you, first.”
Minamoto no Lai was shocked and thought, how did he know that my wife and sister-in-law were both famous beauties in Heian Jing?
But he didn't know that in a well-connected family like his, which family didn't have a few famous beauties?
Just when I was about to say that my family are all loyal ministers and righteous people, and the Emperor of France has always valued them, how could they kill me? Then Duan Jingzhu jumped out and said, "Maybe I can tie him up and ask him to watch. I don't know."
Minamoto Yorinobu was stunned, and then heard Zhou Tong clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Yeah! Your idea is very impressive, why didn't I think of it! This Baihe, who can allocate a woman he has had to his grandson, must have a very weird mentality. He is definitely not a normal person. It is only natural that he can do such scandalous things..."
Cao Cao listened to what they were saying and became more and more speechless. He quickly said loudly: "You heard it? No one with discerning eyes knows that this is a scum. If you, Genji, died for such people, wouldn't you bring shame to the family? By the way, he even kissed him Even Emperor Sun Tzu was killed, and you failed to fight well and failed to stop us, how can you survive?"
"Nah!" Minamoto Yorinobu was shocked: "Did His Majesty the Emperor actually die?" As he said this, he couldn't help but look back.
But he heard a roar, and the sliding door behind the house was kicked open. Emperor Shirakawa strode up to Lai Xin with a long knife in his hand, pointed the knife at Cao Cao, and yelled: "Are you the so-called Demon King? You talk nonsense and spurt blood." Man, why do you say I killed the emperor? Could it be that you actually killed my grandson?"
Cao Cao waved his hand and said seriously: "I am a foreigner. I came to Fuso at the invitation of your ancestor, the goddess Amaterasu, to force you to return power to the emperor. Do you think I have a reason to kill him?"
Bai He said angrily: "You have no reason. Do you think I have a reason to kill him? Guangrong, if you are accompanying me all the way, can it be seen that I killed the child?"
With a bang, five or six onmyojis poured out from the back room and surrounded the Emperor Shirakawa. The leader, an old man, slowly shook his head: "Lai Xinjun, you must not believe the devil's words. He is here to confuse you. Loyal and brave men. I guarantee the reputation of the Kamo family. We arrived here all the way and never met Emperor Toba at all."
Kamo Guangrong is the current head of the Kamo family. The Nagamo clan is one of the two major onmyoji families alongside the Abe clan.
Minamoto Yorinobu became energetic and shouted: "The Demon King is indeed cunning and exposed the lies. What else do you have to say?"
Cao Cao sighed and said: "His grandson and he are not of the same mind. Now he kills his grandson to make his son the emperor. How can you say there is no reason? Anyway, you don't believe me, so what can I say? Emperor Shirakawa, you are a good man. Wu didn’t expect you to dare to show up.”
Bai He widened his small eyes and yelled: "If it hadn't been for Guangrong and Taiqin's persuasion, you would have seen me on the city when you attacked the city! Where is Abe Taiqin?"
Fan Rui shouted: "That warlock? His meager magic skills are not worth mentioning. He dared to block my brother's way. He has been killed by Fan."
Bai He was slightly shocked, and said sadly: "Sixteen ghosts are causing chaos in the world, and Ping'an Capital is stained with blood! It seems that what Tai Qin expected is true. If you can kill Tai Qin, you are considered capable. Haha, I have grown up since childhood. Neili fled to the Yuan family, but you were chasing after me, and now I am too lazy to run away, so we will decide whether to live or die here."
Cao Cao nodded, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes, but then shook his head: "Bai He, your actions are not without heroic spirit. It's a pity that your life has probably been too smooth, and you have experienced less ups and downs. Now that you have become a monk, , then you should know that things in the world are impermanent, and all kinds of adversity must be overcome with great perseverance before you can achieve anything. You are a majestic person, in charge of the fusang, but you don't know how to cherish your life, and you are always strong, and you eventually fall into the inferior vehicle."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but think of his old rival Liu Bei, who had suffered many defeats throughout his life. He was so persevering that he finally achieved something great. In terms of his mind, compared to the emperor who seemed generous and fierce, but was actually shallow and irritable, the gap was incalculable.
However, Emperor Shirakawa's face was full of pride: "How can you decide which one is superior and which one is inferior? Demon King, stop talking nonsense. Let's discuss right and wrong on the sword!"
After saying that, he sighed: "It's a pity that my seven swords were borrowed. Gui Yifayan is in vain to claim that Fusang's swordsmanship is the best. He can't even take your life. It's just that he lost his own life, but even my sword can't." lost."
Kleina was hiding behind the people. She was invited to kill Cao Cao, but she lost the bet and surrendered. She felt that she had lost face. She was embarrassed to see Bai He, but now she was furious after hearing this. She walked out of the crowd and untied her back. The seven swords on it were thrown from a distance and stuck at Bai He's feet. He said angrily: "Give this sword back to you! I'm not your subordinate. I work for you and still get scolded behind your back. It's really unreasonable!"
Emperor Shirakawa stared at Kleina in surprise. At this time, the sky was getting brighter. Even though they were far away, he could still see the beauty of Kleina's face. He couldn't help but said: "Ah, I didn't expect that your true body turned out to be Such a beautiful woman! What a pity, what a pity, if I had told you earlier, you would definitely have a place in my harem."
Sun An was furious, drew his swords and shouted: "Old man, if you have reached such a stage and dare to say such nonsense, Sun will cut you into pieces today."
Kleina used her left hand to "ghost cut" and her right hand to "spider cut". When the two knives touched, they made a ringing sound. She shouted: "You can cut him into four pieces. I will cut the remaining four pieces myself! These two knives Now that it’s in my hands, it’s time to change the name, Shirakawa-kiri and Ho-Kiri!”
Bai He abandoned the knife in his hand, pulled out seven knives in his hand, and laughed wildly: "Come on, come on, I have a big head, let's see whose hands it falls into."
Minamoto Yorinobu struggled for a moment, and finally raised his knife and blocked it in front of Bai He.
When Cao Cao saw that he finally refused to abandon Bai He, he couldn't help but sigh. Then he put aside his pity and shouted: "Well, since the King of France has kindly invited me, how can we be willing to violate it? Kill!"
Everyone rushed across the bridge to kill. Shirakawa and Minamoto Yorinobu shouted and fought side by side. Kamo shouted loudly: "Set up the formation! I will use my own flesh and blood as a sacrifice to invite the ghost king from outside the world to kill all these monsters!" "
The six of them also jumped into the courtyard, found something unknown in their arms, and drew a bloody star array in the white sand. Five people guarded the five corners. Kamo Guangrong sat in the middle. The six of them chanted a spell together. In an instant, a lot of black energy Emerging from the formation, a terrifying fluctuation spread out.
Fan Rui was shocked and shouted loudly: "Be careful of those sorcerers, they are going to use magic that will hurt both sides."
Baihe Jiejie smiled and said, "Today happens to be the day when we all return to the west together!"
Kamo was chanting a curse in his mouth, with a painful look on his face. His originally strong body could be seen withered to the naked eye. Shirakawa and Minamoto Yorinobu swung their swords desperately to prevent others from stopping him.
The terrifying fluctuations became more and more intense. Old Cao and the others knew that something was wrong. Suddenly, Shi Qian jumped off the platform, shook his hand, and the scythe flew out with a whine, and the scythe hooked on Kamo Guangrong's neck. The man's expression changed, Shi Qian tugged on the iron chain, the sickle flew back with a whoosh, and Kamo's glorious head flew high into the air.
After the sacrifice died, the magic circle exploded immediately. The five onmyojis guarding the five corners all vomited blood and died tragically. An unwilling roar came from the fluctuation, and then gradually disappeared.
Bai He said angrily: "Despicable, you clearly have a chance to win, but you still use scouts to ambush..."
Before he finished speaking, Sun An had already cut him in the middle with his sword, and then Kleina danced wildly with her two swords. Bai He's arms, legs and feet fell to the ground one after another, and finally even his head flew out.
"His Majesty the Emperor!" Minamoto Yorinobu howled wildly, abandoned the sword, and knelt on the ground. Just as Cao Cao was thinking about whether to spare his life, Jiao Ting suddenly jumped out from beside him and pierced his heart with a knife.
Lao Cao was stunned and sighed. Minamoto Yorinobu vomited blood, knelt down in front of the head of King Shirakawa, knelt down and died.
The originally snow-white lonely sand was littered with corpses and blood, but it made it even more desolate.
Cao Cao bent down and lifted up Shirakawa's head and handed it to Zhou Tong: "Forget it, it's finally over! I'll go to the palace later to see Fujiwara Nagami establish another emperor!"
After hearing this, all the brothers smiled and left the Genji mansion with their heads held high, leaving only a family of women and children behind, crying loudly behind them.
Youfenjiao: Sweeping thousands of troops like a rolling mat, the city head changes to the king's flag. A hero is invincible on all sides, and an overlord obeys all barbarians for the rest of his life.
