"Master Li from Hirado has arrived. Go in and report to the commander." The guard told the soldiers guarding the city gate.
One of the soldiers ran in from the city gate.
Several other soldiers walked towards Li Guozhu, Mo Lingde and others.
The guard standing in front turned around and said to Li Guoshu: "Please, Mr. Li and his men, please hand over all the weapons you have. Our people will keep them for you. When Mr. Li leaves, they will naturally return them."
"Fart, my knife never leaves my side. If you want my knife, come and get it yourself if you have the ability!" Moringde grabbed the handle of the knife and pulled out a section, revealing the dazzling blade.
The other two men who followed Li Guozhu to the island also drew their waist knives and held them in front of them.
When several soldiers in front of the city gate saw this, they all raised their blazing guns and pointed them at Li Guozhu and others.
The two sides were less than ten steps apart, and the black muzzle of the gun could be clearly seen.
Cold sweat broke out on Li Guozhu's face.
Everyone in the maritime business knows this thing. At such a close distance, there is no need to aim. As long as the gun is aimed at the gun, there is absolutely no possibility of it missing.
The guard who brought Li Guozhu and others distanced themselves from them and said expressionlessly: "Since Mr. Li is unwilling to hand over the weapons on his body, please take them back. I'm sorry that I can't take you to see the commander. .”
"There are so many rules, I'm going in today to see what you can do!" Moringde shouted.
The guard looked at him calmly and said, "If they break through the city gate and enter the city, they don't have to be polite and just open fire. If anything happens, I will tell the commander personally."
At this moment, two men ran out of the city gate, each carrying a squatting tiger cannon on their shoulders.
When they got closer, the two men placed the Tiger Crouching Cannon on the ground, loaded it with gunpowder and iron sand, and pointed the muzzle at Li Guozhu and others. They held a fire stick in their other hand, ready to light the match rope on the cannon body at any time.
Seeing the two squatting tiger cannons, Moringde's expression changed again and again.
"Don't move." Li Guozhu said nervously, "I came to Bengang because I have something to tell Commander Zheng. I believe Commander Zheng doesn't want to see this situation either."
The guard in front of him didn't answer.
The gunners of the Crouching Tiger Cannon and several gunners showed no intention of relaxing their vigilance.
Li Guozhu had no choice but to turn around and said to Mo Lingde and the others: "Brother Mo, why don't you give them your weapons for safekeeping first? We are here to see Commander Zheng, not to fight or kill. "
After hearing this, Moringde hesitated for a moment, and finally pushed the knife back into the scabbard, then took it off from his waist and threw it on the ground.
When the two men following him saw it, they also threw the knife in their hands and the scabbard.
Seeing this, Li Guozhu breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said to the guard in front of him: "You see, we have handed over all our weapons. Can you also put away the guns and cannons to prevent them from misfiring?" .”
It was neither a blunderbuss nor a cannon, so he was really scared.
"Go over to someone and search them." The guard winked at one of the soldiers holding a gun.
The soldier put down the gun in his hand and walked empty-handed to Li Guozhu and others.
First, they searched Li Guozhu's body, then searched the bodies of Mo Lingde and two other men. Finally, he took out a dagger, then picked up a few waist knives on the ground and retreated.
"Can we go in now?" Li Guozhu asked.
The guard waved his hands to the soldiers around him and said, "Move the Luzhai and invite Mr. Li into the city."
Several soldiers moved the Luzhai blocking the city gate to the side.
"Master Li, please!" The guard raised his hand and pointed at the city gate, making a gesture of invitation.
Li Guozhu walked forward.
He walked past several soldiers in front of the city gate and went straight into the city.
Moringde followed him towards the city with an ugly expression on his face.
When a few of them entered the city gate, the soldiers at the city gate carried Luzhai back to the front of the city gate.
As if nothing had happened, the guard continued to walk in front to lead the way for Li Guozhu and others.
From the outside, the city wall looks very tall and strong, comparable to the walls of some state capitals. But after entering, you can find that the inside is not big, not to mention compared with state capitals, even compared with some county towns. It's far inferior when it rises. It's just a fort at most.
"Where does Commander Zheng live in the city?" Li Guoshu looked at the surrounding houses. They all looked similar. It was almost impossible to guess Zheng Tie's residence based on the size of the houses.
The guard leading the way said: "It's just ahead."
After hearing this, Li Guozhu raised his head and looked forward, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything.
Passing through a row of houses, the guard leading the way stopped, pointed to a house in front of him and said: "The commander is inside, Mr. Li, come with me. As for the others, stay outside for now, someone will entertain you later." "
"No, I want to stay with the young master." Moringde refused.
The guard hesitated for a moment and said: "Okay, you can go in with us, but it can only be you alone. The other two please wait outside for a while."
"You two stay outside, Brother Mo Wu and I will go in." Li Guoshu ordered the other two people who followed him, dispelling their thoughts of following in.
Mo Lingde also knew that they could not all follow, so he did not speak anymore.
The guard led them into the house.
As soon as he entered the house, several soldiers holding firecrackers surrounded him.
The guard said: "This is Young Master Li, who is going to see the commander."
"The commander has been waiting for a long time, let's go in!" One of the soldiers glanced at Li Guozhu and Mo Lingde before saying to the guard.
The guard nodded and immediately said: "There are two men brought by Mr. Li outside. You go and entertain them. I will take Mr. Li to see the commander."
Turning around, he said to Li Guoshu beside him: "Master Li, please come with me!"
After saying that, he walked inside.
Li Guozhu and Mo Lingde followed him.
Soon, they walked through the back door of the room and came to the yard behind.
At this time, Li Guozhu realized that the room just now was a reverse room, and the main room located at the back of the yard was the main room.
There are also guards standing guard outside the main door.
Before entering the house, Li Guozhu and Mo Lingde were searched again before being let in.
"Master Li, please come and take a seat. I have just made a pot of hot tea, so we can try it together." Zheng Tie greeted Li Guoshu warmly as he walked into the room.
Yan Weixin stood up and welcomed Li Guoshu to his seat.
Mo Lingde, who entered the room together, did not take a seat, but chose to guard Li Guozhu's side.
