Chapter 389 The King’s Flag changes at the top of the city

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 rich and powerful people live. The Fujiwara clan's surnames mostly live on the left side, while the right side of the house mostly belong to the Ping, Yuan, and Tangerine families.

Cao Cao and others went to the right and looked around and saw that every house was closed.

Cao Cao pondered slightly, he only had a few people, and there were so many houses. How could he search every house? He simply looked at Shi Qian: "Brother, at this moment, it still depends on your ability."

Shi Qian smiled and retaliated with his fist: "Don't worry, brother, let's wait for news about 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.

After half a stick of incense, I saw him suddenly standing up, reaching out and pointing downwards.

Cao Cao and everyone were overjoyed, and 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 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 with his flying kick.

If it were a wooden door, after receiving this kick, the door latch would be broken, and it would naturally open wide. However, his door is made of fine wood and bamboo, and it is so dark that it is difficult to see clearly. If he lit a torch and took 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 did not 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 baby would be cut off. Wouldn’t it be a disaster?

Duan Jing, Meng Kang and others hurried 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 man, 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 followed and rushed in, but he saw that there was a courtyard in front of the door, with small bridges, ponds, rockeries and trees, everything. 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 Tamamozen once said that Fuso nobles like to live in big houses, so 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 we were 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 is the only one guarding the huge Minamoto family with his injured body.

Cao Cao felt pity for 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."

Block the car!"

Minamoto Yarosin 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 doing?"

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 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 you were a man without a king or a father in the Song Dynasty. It's okay. 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 and righteous, but his righteousness is too small. 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 morality, he raped and humiliated his grandson-in-law, and he was a shameless person.

My character, I can be said to have no virtue as a king. In addition to my character and virtue, I am also incompetent. I sent people 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 happened. With the 4,000 soldiers of Ping'an Capital, I, along with a dozen brothers and dozens of cavalry, with no more than a hundred people in total, killed him through the 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 say, 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: I am a loyal minister, so it is natural for him to come to my house. Before he could speak, Jiao Ting said curiously: "Because you are so incompetent that you panic and don't choose a way?"

Zhou Tong waved his hands and shook his head, smiling and said: "No, no, humph, you think this guy can even stick to his granddaughter-in-law's hands. It shows 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 my guess is right, there must be some famous beauties in your family, right? Hey, it’s a pity that the Emperor didn’t expect that you actually 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 startled and thought, how did he know that my wife and sister-in-law were both famous beauties in Heian Jing?

But I don’t know which family in a well-connected family like his doesn’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 has always valued him, how could he kill me? Then I heard Duan Jingzhu jump out and interject: "Maybe I can tie him up and ask him to watch, who knows."

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 talking about and became more and more speechless. He quickly said loudly: "You heard it? Anyone with a discerning eye wouldn't know 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 held a long knife, strode up to Yori Xin, pointed the knife at Cao Cao, and shouted: "Are you the so-called demon king? You talk nonsense and spit 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, does it mean 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 Xin-kun, you must not believe or listen to the demon king's lies. He is here to confuse people like 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 Kokoro is the current head of the Kamo clan. The Kamo 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 shouted: "If it weren't for the glory and Taiqin's hard work, 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 grew up with you.

I fled to the Yuan family inside, 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 admiration in his eyes, but then shook his head: "Bai He, your actions do not lose the spirit of a hero. It's a pity that your life has probably been too smooth, and you have experienced few 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 stubborn, and you eventually fall into the inferior vehicle."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but think of his old enemy Liu Bei, who had suffered many defeats throughout his life. He was really persevering and finally achieved something great. In terms of his mind, compared to this emperor who seemed generous and fierce, but was actually shallow and irritable, the gap was huge.

count.

However, Emperor Shirakawa's face was filled with 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 asked 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 they were inserted at Bai He's feet. He said angrily: "Return this sword to you! I am not your subordinate. I work for you and still be scolded by you behind your back. It is 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 have had 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 An 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, and 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 to Shirakawa-kiri and Hokō-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 such 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 Emperor of France has kindly invited us, how can we be willing to violate it? Kill!"
