Feichan Kotaro just looked at Qining, and then heard Qining continue: "I will let you live on the island for the time being. The materials in the sea are rich. As long as your people are more diligent, they will never die of hunger. The five hundred taels of gold you mentioned, here I won't provide it. Of course, if you, the Feichan clan, can really make contributions to the court in the future, the rewards for you will not be small." He smiled slightly and said: "Actually, you don't have much choice, since you want to go back Revenge, it is better to die than to live."
Feichan Kotaro lowered his head and glanced at Feichan Danfu who was lying in a pool of blood. He was silent for a moment, took a step forward and said, "If you can help us return to Japan, I can make a life-or-death agreement with you."
"You misunderstood." Qi Ning shook his head and said: "We have to make a life-and-death agreement, but it is not between you and me, but between the Feichan clan and our Great Chu Empire!"
"What?"
"You have made a life-and-death pact with me. I think there is no way I can help you return to Japan with my own strength. If you really want the Feichan clan to avenge their shame one day, you can only rely on the power of our Great Chu Empire." Qi Ning Suran said: "So if the Feichan clan wants to sign a life-and-death agreement, they can only sign it with our Great Chu Empire and swear that the Feichan clan will be loyal to our Great Chu Empire to the death."
Feichan Kotaro shook his head and said: "In the Feichan clan, only the leader has made a life-and-death agreement with his master. This is the rule of the Feichan clan and cannot be changed."
"In front of me, don't let the rules of the Feichan clan speak." Qi Ning said lightly: "In my place, there are only rules set by me. I promise you that I will help you return to Japan, and the condition is that the entire Feichan clan The Cicada clan must be loyal to the Great Chu Empire. If you feel that you cannot agree, I can let you leave here this time, but I have always been a very stingy person and will not give others too many opportunities." He raised his hand and made a gesture. With the gesture, the officers and soldiers behind Feichan Kotaro immediately moved out of the way.
Feichan Kotaro took two steps back and looked back. A separate road led directly to the outside of the gate, but a group of officers and soldiers were staring at him eagerly, as if they were about to pounce on him at any time.
Feichan Kotaro glanced at Qining again.
He knew that although the man in front of him smiled from time to time, there was absolutely no room for change in what he said.
Negotiations are always backed by strength.
Dong Qi, which the Feichan clan once relied on, no longer has the energy to take care of the Feichan clan. With Dong Qi's current situation, it is almost impossible to recapture Linzi and restore the country, let alone help Feichan return to Japan.
The Feichan clan no longer has enough capital to negotiate with the other party, and the other party's negotiating strength is naturally very different, at least compared to the Feichan clan, it is heaven and earth.
In the face of absolute strength, Feichan Kotaro knew that he really had no room to bargain with the other party.
Qi Ning seemed to see what Feichan Kotaro was thinking, and suddenly waved his hand to the officers and soldiers under his command to temporarily withdraw from the granary. Naturally, the officers and soldiers did not dare to disobey, and exited the granary in an orderly manner. Soon, only Qi Ning and Feichan Kotaro were left in the granary. and its companions.
Feichan Kotaro did not hesitate anymore and stepped forward and said: "As long as you can help us return to Japan, the Feichan clan will swear allegiance to the Great Chu Empire from now on."
Qi Ning said with a smile: "If you can seize the opportunity, you can be regarded as a person who understands current affairs."
Feichan Kotaro knelt down on one knee facing Qining, and the secret ninja beside him also knelt down. Kotaro used a knife to make a cut in his palm, then received it, dipped his index finger in blood, and rubbed it on his forehead. Drawing a blood line, he said respectfully: "Feichan Kotaro, the eighth generation leader of the Feichan clan, swears that from today on, the Feichan clan will be loyal to the Great Chu Empire, life and death. If this oath is violated, the Feichan clan will be in catastrophe." !”
Qi Ning nodded slightly and said: "I can promise you here that when the time comes, I will try my best to help the Feichan clan return to Japan, and I can even help you eliminate several major ninja sects that are hostile to you."
This is what Feichan Kotaro wanted. When he heard Qining's promise, he even lowered his head, showing great respect.
"Besides sending you here to burn down the grain depot, Shentu Luo has other tasks this time?" Qining asked immediately.
Naturally, Qining didn't have a good impression of Fei Chan's secret ninja. His ultimate goal in coming to Huize this time was to get rid of Shentu Luo's Dong Qi navy. This time he set up a trap to trap the opponent. Since he knew it was Fei Chan, The cicada secret ninja naturally wanted to use the flying cicada secret ninja to accomplish his own goals.
However, Feichan Kotaro shook his head and said: "This mission was not sent by Shentu Luo!"
Qi Ning asked in surprise: "Not Shen Tu Luo?" He had already concluded that these Fei Chan secret ninjas must have been sent by Shen Tu Luo to carry out the mission. At this time, he heard Fei Chan Kotaro actually said that they were not sent by Shen Tu Luo. Big surprise.
Feichan Kotaro said: "The previous leader did not make a life-and-death agreement with Shentu Luo. The Feichan clan does not need to obey his orders."
Qi Ning frowned and asked, "Who did Feichan Danfu sign a life-and-death pact with?" But in his heart, he thought, could the person who signed a life-and-death pact with Feichan Danfu be the mysterious hermit master
Since the master of Feichan Miren was not Shen Tuluo, Qining immediately thought of Duan Shao, the crown prince of Eastern Qi.
When he was in the East China Sea, Qining got some information about the hermit master from Jiang Changfeng, and determined that the hermit master was not an ordinary person, and was probably even a person in a high position, and that the hermit master had a special identity. He attracts public attention on the surface, and because of this, he cannot easily go to the East China Sea.
If the hidden master is the crown prince of Dong Qi, it is very possible.
Jiang Changfeng had said at the beginning that the hermit master would never go to the East China Sea, and Duan Shao was the prince of Dong Qi. His every move always attracted the attention of many people. With his status, it was naturally impossible for him to go to the East China Sea openly, even in secret. There is also a huge risk in going there. After all, the national policy of the Eastern Qi State before this has always been between Han and Chu, and it tried its best not to conflict with either of these two powerful countries. If Duan Shao's secret trip to the East China Sea was revealed, The discovery will definitely cause a dispute between the two countries, and this is naturally an outcome that the people of Dong Qi do not want to see. With Duan Shao's shrewdness, it is naturally impossible to leave any reason to be criticized by the Chu State.
"Is it Prince Duan Shao of Eastern Qi?" Qi Ning asked again.
Feichan Kotaro still shook his head and said: "It's not him either." After a slight pause, he finally said: "The previous leader was loyal to Mo Ying!"
"Mo Ying?" Qi Ning was even more surprised. This name was very unfamiliar. He had never heard of this name before, and he wondered: "Who is Mo Ying?"
He was still worried that Feichan Danfu had not disclosed who he had made a life-or-death agreement with before, and he thought that Feichan Kotaro would also keep his mouth shut. When he heard Feichan Kotaro reveal the name of the person, he was heartbroken. Wei Kuan knew that since Kotaro could tell that person's name, he could naturally tell him about other things.
Although the Feichan clan has signed a life-and-death agreement with the Da Chu Empire, Kotaro is naturally not stupid. He knows that the young man in front of him represents the Da Chu Empire. From now on, the master that the Feichan clan is loyal to is actually this young man in front of him. .
After all, it was Qining who promised them to help them return to Japan, just as Feichan Xiaotaro represents the Feichan clan, and Qining represents the Great Chu Empire.
The Great Chu Empire will never be destroyed. As long as it exists in the world, the Feichan clan will always be the slaves of the Great Chu Empire. Of course, they cannot do anything that harms the interests of the Great Chu Empire.
"Mo Ying is the disciple of the master of Baiyun Island in the East China Sea!" Feichan Xiaotaro said: "The previous leader made a life-and-death agreement with him. The Feichan clan has followed Mo Ying's orders these years."
"Disciple of Donghai?" Qi Ning's expression suddenly changed and he was shocked.
There are three major disciples under the leader of Baiyun Island in the East China Sea. Qi Ning, Bai Yuhe and Chi Danmei, is naturally very familiar with them, but the disciples in the East China Sea are always like a mist.
The only time Qi Ning saw the first disciple of Donghai was that night in the palace. Chi Danmei and the first disciple of Donghai jointly obtained the secret treasure in the palace. However, that night the first disciple of Donghai had his face covered, and Qi Ning could not even see his true face. He has never seen him before, and even Qining has never known the name of the great disciple of Ruodonghai.
At this time, he finally knew that the first disciple of Donghai was called Mo Ying, but he never expected that the master of the Feichan clan was actually the first disciple of Donghai.
Could it be that Mo Ying is the hidden master
Thinking of this, he quickly denied that Mo Ying's identity is very unusual. As a disciple of Donghai, his strength is certainly not comparable to that of ordinary people. However, this disciple of Donghai has always been a dragon that sees its head but not its tail. Qining is sure that it is hidden. The Lord cannot go to the East China Sea, but Mo Ying obviously does not meet this condition.
Although Mo Ying has a special status, very few people in the world know Mo Ying. Even if he walks openly on the streets of Donghai, no one will recognize him.
And since Mo Ying had the courage to sneak into the Dongqi Palace, Donghai was no problem.
The five great masters are bound by the Longshan Pact and are not allowed to get involved in dynastic disputes in the world, but this restriction only applies to the great masters. Qining has never heard that the Longshan Pact stipulates that the disciples of the great masters cannot be involved, so Mo Ying Although he is a disciple of the Grand Master, he is not unable to participate in worldly disputes.
"Mo Ying is not only a disciple of Donghai, but also... a brother to Shen Tuluo, the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Qi navy." Since Feichan Xiaotaro has made a life-and-death agreement with Qi Ning, they already have a master-servant relationship, and Qi Ning no longer hides it: "It's just that Mo Ying became the disciple of Master Baiyun very early, and his identity has been well hidden. Not many people know his true identity."
Qining took a deep breath. He was already shocked that the master of Feichan Secret Ninja was Mo Ying, the great disciple of Donghai. Now he knew that Mo Ying was actually a brother of Shen Tuluo, which shocked him even more.
For a moment, Qi Ning had already thought, knowing that Mo Ying was a descendant of the Dong Qi Junxun family, why did the owner of the East China Sea Island accept him as his disciple? Shen Tuluo and his son are two generations of famous generals in the Qi State, and they have an unparalleled status in the Qi State's military. As a descendant of the Shen family, Mo Ying will never turn a blind eye to the dynastic dispute. In other words, the purpose of the East China Sea Island owner to train Mo Ying is to Enhance the strength of Qi State.
Mo Ying is not the hidden master. Could it be that... the hidden master is Mo Lancang, the master of the East China Sea Island
