conscience?.
Zhang Wuji laughed and said, "Min'er, what does conscience have to do with me? As long as I have you, what does it matter whether I have a conscience or not?"
Zhao Min looked helpless: "I really admire you. You have refreshed my understanding of shameless people time and time again."
After hearing this, Zhang Wuji's face was full of disdain: "Min'er, even if I am a shameless person, I don't think I have been shameless to outsiders, right?"
Zhao Min thought for a moment and said, "That's true, but that's just because you still have to save face in front of outsiders."
…
When Inoue Yu was in his carriage and was being intimate with the beautiful woman accompanying him, his chief of staff, General Sasaki Taro, arrived.
When Sasaki heard the chirping of orioles in the carriage, he knew that his commander-in-chief was busy with important matters. At this time, Sasaki did not want to disturb him, but after hesitating for a moment, he still carefully reported to the side of the carriage: "Commander-in-chief, the scouts reported that hundreds of elite cavalry were spotted three miles away."
After Sasaki finished speaking, the chirping of birds in Inoue Yu's carriage stopped abruptly: "Hundreds of elite cavalry were spotted three miles away?"
"Baga, we can see it with our naked eyes from three miles away. Are those scouts just there to eat and do nothing?"
Inoue Yu casually put on a kimono, and then slowly got off his beloved carriage in wooden clogs.
Sasaki quickly said, "Thank you for your hard work, Marshal."
"I didn't want to bother you with such a small matter, but we are about to connect with the Ming army, so I have to ask you to make a decision."
Inoue Yu sighed and said, "The good days are almost over, but Sasa-kun, don't be too nervous."
"These hundreds of people are nothing more than scouts of the Ming army. They must be here to inspect our troops. Aren't we sending scouts to gather information right now?"
Sasaki said: "Yes, we are doing it, but our scouts are only three to five people in a team, and the number of scouts in the Ming Dynasty team is a bit too many, isn't it?"
Inoue Yu thought for a moment and said, "Sasa-kun, what you mean is that those hundreds of people are not scouts, but are here to launch a surprise attack on my 200,000-strong army?"
Sasaki said: "How is it possible? No matter how stupid the Ming army is, they would not send hundreds of people to die."
"What I mean is that those hundreds of Ming army soldiers may be guarding some important figure."
"A big shot?" Inoue Yu was puzzled: "How big a shot can he be? Could it be that he is someone of the same status as me?"
After thinking for a while, Sasaki said: "In the previous naval battle, Emperor Ming Zhang Wuji personally risked his life. Like master, like soldiers."
"Since the emperor is like this, I'm sure the generals under him will be like this too. If my guess is correct, the person guarded by those hundreds of Ming soldiers is at least a vanguard general or something like that."
"Vanguard General!" Inoue Yu was stunned: "If that's the case, then what are you hesitating about?"
"Sasa-kun, you must lead two thousand cavalrymen to chase after them immediately."
"You must help me to wipe out those hundreds of Ming soldiers. If there really is a Ming general among them, I will credit you with the first merit."
…
Sasaki quickly took the order and left.
But unfortunately, Sasaki guessed wrong. He and Inoue Yu would never have imagined in their dreams that the man guarded by hundreds of soldiers was none other than the Emperor Zhang Wuji of the Ming Empire and the Grand Marshal Zhao Min.
If Inoue Yu knew about this, he would probably ask Sasaki to lead 20,000 people to pursue them.
If he could really take the lives of Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min, he would not hesitate even if it meant asking Inoue Yu to pay the price of 200,000 people.
…
Looking at Zhang Wuji, both he and Zhao Min have been fighting on the battlefield for many years.
How could the unusual movement of two thousand light cavalry in Inoue Yuda's army be hidden from the eyes of the two of them?
Zhang Wuji said: "Min'er, we have been discovered."
Zhao Min laughed and said, "There are hundreds of us, almost under Inoue Yu's nose. It would be strange if we are not discovered."
Zhang Wuji said: "That's right, but I didn't expect them to discover it so late. This shows that the Japanese are really useless."
Zhao Min hesitated for a moment: "Wuji, what are the chances of our winning if we two lead the hundreds of soldiers behind us and fight to the death to take Inoue Xiong's flag directly?"
Zhang Wuji gave a bitter smile and said: "The chances of winning are naturally very high."
"But I won't allow you to do that."
"It's just a general's flag. There are 200,000 people on the opposite side, and you don't even know that person is Inoue Yu. I wouldn't even take such a big risk to cut down a general's flag, so how could I let you go?"
Zhao Min glared at Zhang Wuji and said, "Hmph, you rascal, since you became emperor, you have become much more timid than before."
"Back then, you and that vixen Zhou Zhiruo had the courage to go to my capital to rescue the six major sects. Now, hundreds of people don't even dare to seize a general's flag."
Zhang Wuji was also troubled when he heard this: "Min'er, it's not that I don't dare. If you really want that commander's flag, I will go and get it for you now."
Zhang Wuji was obviously also angry.
However, Zhao Min turned sideways and quickly pulled his hand: "Okay, okay, I'm just kidding you."
"It's just a joke between husband and wife, why take it so seriously? Even if I risk my own life, I won't risk yours."
"If anything happens to you, those vixens will cut me into pieces."
…
After chatting for a while, when Sasaki's two thousand light cavalry were less than two miles away from Zhang Wuji and his men, they began to retreat.
Not only were Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min calm as if nothing had happened, but even the soldiers guarding them acted as if nothing had happened.
Just like what Sasaki said before, like master, like soldiers.
Among these hundreds of light cavalry, there are Zhao Min's deadpool and the old team from the Ming Cult period. These people have seen all kinds of scenes. They are all proud. If they are frightened by a group of monkeys that have not yet evolved completely, they will feel sorry for their ancestors.
…
A quarter of an hour later, a captain of the Ming army shouted to Zhang Wuji, "Your Majesty, we can't shake them off. We are light cavalry, and the Japanese behind us are also light cavalry. Our men are all tall and strong, and the Japanese behind us are short. Our men are generally 20 to 30 pounds heavier than the Japanese behind us. If we want to shake them off, we will probably have to run hundreds of miles."
Zhang Wuji thought for a moment and said: "Don't worry about them for now. Although our soldiers are stronger than the Japanese, our horses are also good. These are the horses that Min'er got from the grassland. They can run hundreds of miles in one breath without any problem."
"After a hundred miles, if you really can't get rid of it, it's not too late to shoot a few more arrows."
