Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 364: Sacrifice for Rebirth (Added to capture the screen leader)
It turns out that Fujiwara no Himeka still has potential influence in Hakata.

This is reasonable. Although she has been fighting with the hereditary Kamura family for four years and has not yet completely subdued the other party, and her means of struggle are too scarce, she does not seem to be too stupid, and it is impossible that she has no hidden power at all.

After being severely beaten up by Yang Yuan, Fujiwara Himeka went to meet her people.

In order to prevent people from losing their minds, she sent Hanane to meet her confidants during the three days in the beach house. Those people knew that she was still alive.

"Lord, all the big ships in Hakata Bay have been robbed by those crazy merchants. But Lord, don't worry, we can still get two ships. We will transfer two ships from other places as soon as possible, but it is estimated to take seven or eight days."

"Very good! Right now, the outside world believes that I have been buried in the Whale Sea Palace, which makes it easier for me to act in secret. When I don't have orders, you should stay hidden and develop your power in secret.

By the way, you can use some money to buy a few ships as soon as possible. While merchants from various countries are fleeing and local merchants are also suffering, you can quickly seize the opportunity, which will make us a huge fortune. "

After giving the order, Fujiwara Himeka left her secret base.

This is a bathing place.

It is called a bathhouse, and there are dozens of "bath girls" inside, serving wine, singing, and bathing, so the business is booming.

When the chaos in Hakata City broke out, everyone was busy robbing the rich, so who would go to the bathhouse to make money? So this place didn't suffer any losses.

Of course, if there is any loss, it is that there are no guests today.

Hakata has just been in such a chaos, who would be so bold as to come to the bathhouse?

So, the bathhouse was very quiet today.

At this time, Fujiwara no Himeka was dressed as a young samurai wearing a samurai jacket and two swords of different sizes hanging from his waist.

With skin as smooth as jade and a face as tender as lotus, she is pure and pretty, charming and enchanting, and could easily be mistaken for a "little girl" around some big shot.

Looking at the Goddess's "hesitant" gait, her subordinates were a little puzzled.

The God doesn't usually walk like this. Why does he look more like a woman after changing into men's clothes than when he was wearing women's clothes?

……

Okayama was the Heike's sphere of influence.

Okayama belonged to Bizen Province and was the seat of the provincial government.

Both Taira Masamori and his son Taira Tadamori served as "Bizen no Kami" here.

The current "Bizen no Kami" is Doi Yasushige, a general under Taira no Kiyomori.

The power of the Hakata temples and shrines came "ao suing" all the way, and the believers who followed them seemed to be more excited than any previous temple or shrine that launched an "ao suing".

The intensity of their burning, killing and looting made the leaders of temples and shrines, mainly those from the Yaki Shoji branch, feel a little uneasy.

Official Yoshida felt that they should exercise some control. After all, their goal was to put pressure on the Taira clan, not to completely anger them.

However, even though Monk Jinghai stepped in to impose some restrictions, he was still unable to control these "Ao Su" supporters.

As they came down, the people of the Heike clan reacted very weakly, as if they were frightened by their grand momentum.

Perhaps, such momentum would make Taira no Kiyomori even more fearful?

Yoshida was unable to restrain these supporters, and seeing that the reaction of the Heike forces was relatively weak, he just let it go.

On this day, as they were about to arrive at Okayama, the "Ao Su" team became even more excited.

Along the way, he ate other people's food, robbed other people's money, and slept with other people's women...

Indeed, obeying the guidance of the gods and launching an "Ao Su" to safeguard the dignity of the gods is something worthy of support.

In the "Aosu" team, even those who were originally more law-abiding, or believers who came simply to denounce the Heike, were led astray by the arbitrary behavior of the people sent by Ono Mingxi. Their animal desires were quickly aroused and they turned into wild beasts.

Okayama is the capital of Bizen Province. It is very wealthy and the girls in the city are more attractive than the country girls.

These perceptions made the "Ao Su" supporters as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood. They beat drums, sang songs, and prepared to rush into Okayama Castle and indulge themselves happily as before.

But at the foot of Okayama Castle, they saw a team ready for battle.

Lord Doi Yasushige was wearing a full set of armor, sitting on the back of a horse that was only slightly larger than a donkey, with a sinister look gleaming from the gap in his helmet.

The large army on high alert in front of Okayama Castle suddenly made the "Aosu" team quiet down.

They had not encountered any decent resistance along the way. Could it be that Bizen-no-Kami, Doi Yasushige, dare to defy the world and wield the butcher knife against these messengers of God who had launched a "cry" in the name of God?
It was only quiet for a moment, and seeing that the other side did not launch an attack, the "Ao Su" team became bolder again.

After all, Yoshida came from a bureaucratic background, so he was more cautious when faced with such a situation.

He didn't think that Doi Yasushige put on such a show just to scare them.

Something is wrong!

Leader Yoshida decided to consult with his adviser and confidant, Monk Shizumi, to see whether he should send someone to negotiate with Bizen Lord Dohi.

If they just wanted to pass through Okayama to Kyoto and promised not to cause unrest in Okayama, I believe Doi Yasushige would withdraw his troops and make way, right?
But... "Where is Jinghai Guanzhu? Where is Jinghai Guanzhu?"

Yoshida suddenly realized that his confidant and think tank was missing, and he shouted in panic.

Someone answered loudly, "Master Jinghai has gone to the front to appease the believers."

After hearing this, Alliance Leader Yoshida was immediately relieved. It had to be Jinghai. He had already thought of it ahead of me.

Yes, we should calm these believers first. Otherwise, given the current tense situation, if one of us takes the initiative to attack, it is likely to drive the overly nervous Yasushige Doi crazy.

If this fight breaks out...

Alliance leader Yoshida felt that this motley crowd might not be a match for the troops of Bizen Province.

Just as Yoshida thought of this, he heard a shout from the front.

Yoshida was suddenly shocked. Could it be that Doi Yasushige had already launched an attack on us?
We only went to Kyoto to complain in compliance with the will of God. We did not touch a single blade of grass or tree in Okayama. How dare he do that!

Yoshida, riding on the tall horse given to him by Jiangzhou Hunter, took a closer look and suddenly his eyes went dark.

Damn it! Monk Jinghai failed to appease those believers!
Yoshida watched in despair as dozens of believers, as if invulnerable to swords and guns, shouted madly and rushed towards the heavily armed Bizen troops with bamboo spears, lances and hoes in hand.

Monk Jinghai stood behind these desperadoes with a calm expression.

Ono Mingxi had sent someone to bring him the news that something had happened in Hakata.

The plan can only be advanced because these temple and shrine nobles will not be much later than him and will also receive the news from Hakata.

By then, they would give up going to Kyoto to "complain" and return to Hakata to save their old nest.

Monk Jinghai already knew that his "Dashan Temple" had suffered heavy losses."

That Yang Sanyuan kidnapped several temples, shrines, and officials, but he only took their property.

The only thing he did was set fire to the "Dashan Temple", which was burned to ashes.

Jinghai was very heartbroken, but things had already happened. Even if he rushed back to Bodo immediately, those Song merchants... no, those Song bandits would have already sailed back home.

Therefore, if he wanted to gather huge wealth again, he could only focus on these temples, shrines and nobles.

The big cake of Hakata is shared by so many people, and it is obvious that the latter can get more if it is shared by only Taira no Kiyomori, Ono Akihabara and him.

Seeing the arrows, spears and flying stones from the opposite side hurled at him like raindrops, knocking down dozens of people who bravely rushed to the front like wheat, and then rushing forward with shouts, Monk Jinghai turned his horse's head and ran towards the central army.

Today, let’s bury everyone here!

With your remains laying the foundation for me, "Dashan Temple" will be rebuilt soon, and it will be even more glorious!
