Chapter 802 The first quarter moon

On the seventh day of the seventh month, I also celebrated the Qiqiao Festival. Zhang Yin has been in Shimiya Kingdom for almost two months and has been familiar with Takasaki. He was invited to attend a banquet for the locals' festival early in the morning. (The fastest and most stable update)

Zhang Yin put on his head and robe, dressed up in a fresh dress, came out of the tent that had not yet been built, and first went to see Zan Jurun. Even in Tokyo, the Minister of Works, Zan Jurun, was a bureaucrat at the level of a senior official in Tokyo, and a member of the civil servants on the Higashima.

Civil officials usually have a hobby of traveling and making friends, and Zan Jurun is no exception. When Zhang Yin saw Zan Jurun, he invited him and said, "Today is the Quege Festival, and this place is not very interesting. Can Duke Zan be willing to go to Takasaki Prefecture with me?"

After hearing this, Zan Jurun looked regretful and reached out to cover his hand on his abdomen and frowned: "It's a coincidence that Brother Zhang (the commander Zhang Jiankui, everyone agreed to be an official position in any occasion here) invited me to drink. Somehow, I ate my stomach and it was inconvenient to go to the toilet in someone else's house."

After hearing this, Zhang Yin asked, "But it matters?"

Zan Jurun said: "It doesn't matter. Maybe I was not used to the local environment. If I don't get better today, I will ask the doctor to prescribe some medicine."

Zhang Yin didn't force it. Seeing that it was still early, he chatted with Zan Jurun for a few more business matters. Everyone went east smoothly this time, and they did not encounter any storms at the sea. They also got along well with the locals in Gaoqizhuang. As the saying goes, the right time, place and people are all in harmony.

The Shijian Castle project is not big. After all, the walls are relatively low and the castle is relatively small. Most of the foundation and wall projects have been built in more than a month; only that artificial canal is far from being built.

However, looking at the smooth situation now, it is only a matter of time. The two of them talked about it and were optimistic. There is no problem in establishing a foothold in Japan. In the future, they will properly manage their interests with the locals, develop mines, and establish trade. They can fulfill the emperor's intentions without bloodshed.

Zhang Yin smiled and said, "When I go back to Fengchi to reward merits, I will drink with Mr. Zan again."

Although Zhang Yin was a minor official, he now has an official position in the Privy Council, and his position is lower than that of Zan Jurun, and he is still a colleague.

Zan Jurun didn't take any airs and clasped his fists and said, "One word is certain."

Zhang Yin then said goodbye from the simple tent, and went to Gaoqi Mansion with Liu Jin and others from the Military Affairs Office to go to Gaoqi Mansion for a banquet along the road.

There is a stream on the mountain behind the manor, which flows from the side of the mansion to the front of the mansion. Today, many people emerge from somewhere. They hung paper stickers on bamboos by the stream in front of the mansion, and there were many young women. Some girls also folded boats with paper and placed them in the stream. For a while, in this place with green mountains and green waters, it was a pleasing scenery.

When a few people came to the mansion, Takasaki went out to greet him in person, constantly bowing, and the etiquette was very comprehensive. When everyone came to the yard, Takasaki introduced two more patriarch officials, as well as some samurai leaders who managed the land. The atmosphere was very harmonious, and anyone who could not speak Chinese bowed to greet him.

After a while, the heavy makeup songs also came on stage. They held paper umbrellas and sang and danced. The locals applauded, and Takasaki talked and commented with Zhang Yin: "Their skills are very good. Even if Zhang Jun saw the performances he saw at Heian Kyo, they were not much better than them."

Zhang Yin echoed casually, naturally unwilling to disturb Gao Qi's interest, but he really didn't feel good... he was too reserved and had heavy traces of performance. Of course, maybe it was just that people from different places had different interests.

Later, a monk and a clown with white faces came on stage, which made everyone laugh. Now Zhang Yin finally figured out what was going on. This show was a military drama that began to be popular in the Tang Dynasty, and the locals learned it. The Tang Dynasty had a deep influence on them! And the songs just now also had traces of makeup from the Tang Dynasty's palace. No wonder Zhang Yin looked so awkward.

Zhang Yin couldn't understand the words, so he could only look at their funny actions and enjoyed them.

At this time, a little girl came to pour wine, and Takasaki said, "She is Miko."

The little girl asked Miko to put down the wine pot and bowed her knees to Zhang Yin slowly. Zhang Yin also hurriedly bowed her fists and bowed back. Miko said slowly, "Got to come from afar, and the hospitality is not good, please forgive me."

Zhang Yin thought to himself that Takasaki specifically introduced a maid, and this maid must be the most powerful person around him. He did not dare to neglect at the moment, and hurriedly said: "I am honored by Takasaki and Miko's wife."

Miko's mouth moved, quietly looked at Zhang Yin and looked at Qiu Bo, showing a charming smile. Zhang Yin thought to herself: This lady is so arrogant, she just did this in front of her master.

The shows on the stage were one after another, and some songs and dances were just the same people changed their clothes, but they were also quite interesting. Zhang Yin and Gao Qi persuaded each other to drink and talk about the anecdotes and interesting things in their hometowns, and were having a happy time.

In the afternoon, Takasaki took Zhang Yin and others to the hot springs, and there was another dinner in the evening. Takasaki was really awesome to entertain guests, which made Zhang Yin feel that he was hospitality than Han'er.

"The red paper tags Zhang Jun saw during the day were the wishes made by young people, and most of them were marriages." Takasaki said with a smile.

Zhang Yin laughed and said, "I guess it's the same. The Chinese Valentine's Day was originally a festival for the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl."

Takasaki nodded: "What does Zhang Jun think of us as Yamato?"

Zhang Yin said: "The people are very good, the people are simple, and the little girl is passionate."

"Haha..." Several people raised their heads and laughed teasingly. When they talked about beauty, they seemed to be indifferent to their country.

The cool night wind blew on his face, Zhang Yin looked up and admired the moon. A mysterious moon hung in the air was particularly beautiful. Under the moon, there was a black shadow... Huh? Zhang Yin raised his head and stared at the shadow, feeling very strange.

"Takasaki-kun..." Zhang Yin couldn't help but remind him.

As soon as he finished speaking, an arrow suddenly inserted into Liu Jin's forehead. "Ah..." The woman's scream suddenly sounded! The scene immediately became an uproar.

Before Zhang Yin could react, he stared blankly at Liu Jin falling to the ground, and he was shot in the forehead without even calling. This person who was very familiar with him died like this?

"Liu Jin!" Zhang Yin shouted in dismay.

"Go away!" Gao Qi pulled Zhang Yin. Then Zhang Yin followed him and fled with the chaotic crowd. There was already chaos everywhere, and the night sky was "swoosh..." sounded, arrows flew down one after another, and people kept getting shot and screaming loudly.

Zhang Yin didn't understand what was going on at all. In the chaos, there were a few more men around to protect them. But looking at the scene, the ******* should have nothing to do with Takasaki, and Takasaki really had no motivation to do such things.

The group rushed into the hall gate in the yard. At this time, Zhang Yin asked, "Who is it?"

Takasaki ran and replied, "There should be scouts, also called 'Ninja', and there are also samurai who can use bows and arrows!"

Zhang Yin asked again: "Who sent it?"

"I don't know, but ordinary people can't use such people!" Takasaki said loudly.

At this moment, a man rushed into the hall with several samurai swords. Takasaki and several other men hurriedly took a knife from the man's arms. Takasaki handed him another to Zhang Yin.

Zhang Yin is a civil servant and is not familiar with weapons at all, but he still takes the initiative to defend himself.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, the wooden door was kicked open! "Swoosh swish swish swish..." A few arrows flew in immediately, and a man was immediately caught in an arrow and screamed in pain. In an instant, two black shadows appeared at the door. They were holding something in their hands and threw it forward five or six steps away. The two Takasaki warriors in front screamed and fell to the ground.

"Ah!" The other two warriors rushed up bravely with their hands holding their samurai swords. The light of the sword flashed, and the sound of sharp weapons splitting the flesh and hissings made people frightened!

The samurai stepped forward to resist, and Takasaki did not rush up and turned around and left with a samurai sword. Zhang Yin hurriedly followed. The two walked from **** into a narrow corridor. After a few steps, they suddenly had a "clang" sound, and a wooden window in front was broken, and a masked man wearing black clothes jumped out!

Gao Qi turned around and ran away again, and the people behind him chased him reluctantly. The shouting of "Jiriha" seemed to be right in Zhang Yin's ears. Zhang Yin was extremely nervous and his mind was blank.

He is not a stupid person, but he comes from a wealthy family and is not a martial artist. He has never experienced such a difficult situation. However, he only decided on one path and followed Takasaki! Otherwise, he would not be able to find a way if he was alone.

But Takasaki seemed a little panicked. He was a little fat and older, and he couldn't run fast at all. Soon he hurriedly broke open a door and drilled into it.

"Ah..." Suddenly, a woman screamed, and a panicked little girl rushed up with a short knife in her hands.

"Miko!" Takasaki reacted quickly and immediately shouted.

The little girl finally calmed down a little and stopped. The few people didn't have time to talk more because the pursuers had already rushed up. "Dang!" Before Zhang Yin could see clearly what was going on, he heard a violent metal collision, and sparks flashed in front of him.

"Ah!" Blood light splattered, and a scream was screaming. Zhang Yin saw clearly that the person who was killed was not Gao Qi. Unexpectedly, this old guy had a good sword technique and could beat an assassin.

But two more people jumped in immediately.

Takasaki seemed to have great fighting experience, knowing it was hard to defeat, and he stepped backwards in a panic, standing beside Zhang Yin, hoping that he would support Yi Yi. Zhang Yin glanced at a small window behind him and shouted to the trembling Miko: "Run from the window!"

The assassin was already approaching! Zhang Yin shouted and waved the samurai sword with both hands, using all the power of breastfeeding to slash in front of him to block the enemy from approaching.

After swinging several times, the knife was slashed in the air. Suddenly, a flash of face, Zhang Yin's heart skipped a beat, and a chill rose from his heart. The stinging pain extended from his cheeks to his chest. He knew that he had been hit by the knife, and his strength seemed to be exhausted.

After a while, he screamed "wow", and the guy in front of him stabbed him in his hands with his hands. The sharp blade pierced Zhang Yin's abdomen. A moment of despair surged into his heart, everything was over, it was over.

"Cha!Cha..." Gao Qi was also outnumbered. He was hit by several times and knelt in a pool of blood.
