Chapter 248 He Benefits Me

The talisman array let these gangsters and pirates know what the Taoists' ambush was.

That is, relying on his knowledge of the five elements and gossip, he hides in the dark and stabs people quietly.

Not to mention Zhang Ning, Hu Jing and Su Ying, three gangsters, even Ah Xin, a pure pirate, couldn't help but say, "A sneak attack from behind, isn't this what a gentleman does?"

Pan Yun: "You are a pirate who robs and pillages, but you still hold yourself to the conduct of a gentleman?"

Ah Xin choked and whispered, "Then I've never stabbed anyone in the back."

Pan Yun was not willing to tolerate him, and said directly: "Hypocrisy, before you robbed, did you send a message to the master first, specifying the time to rob? You have never ambushed a fleet at sea? Instead, you rushed in with great fanfare and brazenness?"

Ashin suddenly didn't dare to say anything, his face was filled with anxiety and shame.

Pan Yun snorted, "I'm just using deception in war. When it comes to honesty, I'm much better than you. I can let Song Bei go if I say so."

Pan Yun stuffed his knife back to him, pointed at three trees on the side and said, "Hide there. If any Japanese pirates come up, you go and kill them. I have found a good ambush position for you. If you can't defeat them here, you will die. This is your fate."

Several people hid behind the three trees, and sure enough, six Japanese suddenly appeared in front of them after a while.

It was really sudden.

The cold wind was blowing, and originally in front of them there were only swaying shadows of trees and occasional thunders, but in the blink of an eye, six Japanese pirates suddenly appeared before their eyes.

Then, in two or three breaths, it arrived in front of him.

Ashin and the Blue Guards looked at each other, then quietly moved away.

Taoist Priest Sanzhu said that as long as they move within this range, they will not suddenly go somewhere else.

The six pirates didn't notice them, so Ah Xin and the others quietly raised their swords...

As the man approached, Ashin and the four blue-clothed guards raised their swords and chopped down at the same time.

Ah Xin had gained experience under Pan Yun's guidance. He would chop at the head and neck and stab at the heart and abdomen, and he would always hit the target with one strike.

The other Blue Guards were slightly inferior, but they could still hurt people. However, there was one Japanese pirate who was chosen because he was too powerful. He was entangled and forced to panic and hide everywhere, and he was a little further away from the three trees.

Ah Xin was about to rescue him, but Pan Jun had already killed people on the other side and turned back. When he saw Ah Xin, he took a step forward and flashed past the Japanese pirate as fast as lightning, and his sword had already cut his neck.

His body froze, he covered his neck and looked at Pan Jun in disbelief, unable to utter a complete sentence, he only mumbled: "Ninja..."

Pan Jun ignored him and kicked the Blue Guard on the butt, kicking him behind three trees. "Keep waiting. If you can't beat them next time, hide back. They won't be able to see you."

Su Ying became very curious after hearing this, so she ran over and looked at Axin and the others from the perspective of the Japanese pirates, but she didn't see them.

All I saw were seven or eight big trees close together, with vines entwined between them. It looked like an impenetrable vine wall.

If it were him, he would suspect that someone was hiding behind, but he certainly wouldn't think they could cross the vines and attack him, so he would pretend that he didn't notice, then step forward one step at a time, then turn around and look behind the tree and vines...

Ah Xin knew why Su Ying was surprised, and quietly came out from behind a tree...

In Su Ying's eyes, Axin appeared out of nowhere in front of the vine wall.

His breathing quickened. "This talisman array..."

Pan Jun turned his head to look at him, Su Ying rolled her tongue and finally said, "That's wonderful."

Pan Yun said, "You guys just hide here. The formation will make them lose their way. At least a quarter of the pirates will pass by here. This is the spot we have to defend. Hero Su and I will go and clean up the other scattered pirates. We won't be too far from here. If you have any problems, call me loudly. I can hear you."

Ah Xin and the Green Guards agreed, looked at the vine wall in front of them, and ruthlessly kicked their feet in. The other Green Guards went in smoothly, but Ah Xin hit his head with a bang. He looked up and found that the vine wall had disappeared, and he was sticking to a tree.

The Green Guard looked at it and felt sad. "So the vine wall is fake, and half of the trees are fake, but these three are real. If you are not careful, you will still bump into them."

A green-clothed guard touched the tree and asked, "Brother Ashin, how did you do this? We can clearly see a wall of vines."

Ashin: "If I knew, I would have become a Taoist priest long ago. Would I still be a pirate?"

Pan Yun and Su Ying shuttled through the formation. Often they could appear behind the Japanese pirates as soon as they turned around, and then kill them with swords.

After walking a few more steps, they saw new Japanese pirates.

Yes, this talisman formation seems very large and you can't see everything from here, but in fact, the place where the talisman formation is set up is just a road with a forest and tombs on both sides.

How big can it be?

There were so many Japanese pirates that even if they were dispersed once they entered the talisman formation, they could still run into each other after just a few steps because there were too many of them.

Soon, the Japanese pirates reacted. Because of the continuous disappearance and death of their companions, they gradually became irritable and could not help but slash with their knives. As they slashed, their steps became disordered and they suddenly collided with several other Japanese pirates.

They discovered the secret of this place and shouted, "This is a maze, a maze! The eyes can deceive, but the ears cannot. Matsuura-kun, Matsuura-kun, where are you?"

Pan Jun paused and asked Su Ying: "What is he talking about?"

Su Ying: “I don’t understand.”

Pan Jun looked at him with a look that said "What use are you to me?", then glanced at the few people who were shouting and yelling, and simply killed all of them, leaving only one behind.

As for the person who first noticed something was wrong and started to yell, Pan Jun pressed Su Ying's shoulder and dodged, not killing him. Su Ying followed her closely and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you kill him?"

"I want to know what he is shouting. I seem to have heard someone's name just now. This means there may be an important person among these pirates."

After Pan Yun brought Su Ying back to the three trees, he found Ah Xin and asked, "Do you understand Japanese?"

Ashin paused and nodded, "I can understand a few."

That’s right, there are several types of Japanese. Different places have different accents, and the languages ​​are different too.

Anyway, everything that came from Japan is uniformly called the Japanese language.

Pan Yun repeated what the man had just said and asked, "What did he say?"

Su Ying looked at her in shock. She remembered it after hearing it once?
A Xin said: "He said this is a maze. Eyes can deceive people, but ears can't. He is calling Matsuura-kun."

Pan Yun asked him, "Who is Song Pujun?"

Ashin shook his head, "I don't know."

He paused and explained, "I have been a pirate for seven years, and I have met many Japanese during this period. They rarely mention people's surnames, act arrogantly, and have no laws to restrain them. It is always difficult to reason with them. However, people with surnames may not be able to talk to each other, but at least they can communicate."

"I know all the Japanese people on the island, and there is absolutely no one named Matsuura."

Pan Yun raised his chin and said, "Why don't you just ask and find out?"

Ah Xin turned around and saw six more Japanese pirates coming on the road.

Pan Yun was too lazy to wait for them to make a move, so he killed three of them directly, leaving three behind, and kicked them all in front of Ah Xin.

One of them was about to jump up to resist, but Pan Yun knocked him down with a sword, then pierced his shoulder blade and pinned him to the ground, and asked, "Can you speak Chinese?"

The other party glared at Pan Yun angrily and started to curse her with obscene words.

Pan Jun didn't understand but she could read. She knew he was scolding her without Ashin translating. So she repeated his words expressionlessly, scolding him back in the same way he had just said. She also snatched Ashin's scabbard and slammed it at him, not stopping until he was bruised and swollen.

He threw the scabbard back to Ah Xin, put his hand on his waist and said, "You are such a bastard, yet you still scold me? Can you beat me? You, you, you, you, watch me, from now on, if any of these three pirates says a dirty word again, I will slap him in the face."

The three blue-clothed guards agreed and stared at the three Japanese pirates with sharp eyes.

Seeing that the three of them were all honest, Pan Yun raised his chin and said, "Ask."

Shin then asked the three of them in Japanese, "Where is Matsuura-kun?"

The three of them were shocked and refused to say anything.

Pan Yun's eyes and ears moved slightly, and he said to them, "You guys go ahead and ask, I'll go get rid of a few people first."

After saying that, he stretched out his hand to pull out the sword. The pinned pirate screamed, and as soon as Pan Yun's sword tip moved, he shouted: "I'll tell you, I'll tell you——"

Pan Jun paused slightly and looked up at Ashin.

Ashin: "...He said he was willing to confess."

Pan Yun felt that the pirates who had escaped from the first formation and entered the second formation were not that serious, so he stopped, stuck his sword on the ground and said, "Speak."

The Japanese pirates, who were seriously injured both physically and mentally, started talking in a hurry. The two people who were trembling beside them were afraid that all the credit would be taken away. In the end, they would have a bad end, so they also started talking.

The more he talked, the uglier his face became as he translated a few words from time to time.

"…They didn't know where Matsuura-kun was, but they must have come. He was the one who forced them to go into this alley to look for someone."

"The one wearing the brown round-collared samurai robe is him. He is the third young master of the Matsuura family. Among the cargo this time are muskets and gunpowder, both of which are very important commodities. They want to transport all of these things back to Hirado. They are very useful, so they value them very much. That's why the third young master of the Matsuura family came here in person."

Pan Yun asked, "Who is guarding the beach? How many people are there?"

The three of them sold out the people on the beach without hesitation. "They are retainers of the Matsuura clan. There are several hundred of them in total."

When Pan Jun heard this, he sneered and said, "How many hundreds is a few hundred?"

One said there were more than 200, one said more than 500, and another said there were still 1,000.

When Pan Yun heard this, he said to Ah Xin: "It seems that they are not honest. Kill them all."

Ashin thought that it was because she got the information she wanted, so she didn't want to keep these burdens, but he still obediently killed all three of them.

Pan Yun asked them to continue guarding the three trees, while she and Su Ying returned to the second formation.

The Japanese pirate who was shouting just now actually passed through the first formation and contacted Matsuura through the air through shouting.

The Japanese pirate shouted loudly to the sky, "Mr. Matsuura, if you say one more word, I feel I am very close to you, I will find you soon!"

A voice came from an invisible place, "I'm here, I'm here--"

Pan Yun was happy and said to Su Ying: "See, I told you he was useful, right? I took a look at his face and thought he would benefit me, so I saved his life."
