C974 Second Ladys War Flag (1/2)
In the pitch-black Chest Strait, there was actually a Ship Closure that roared with music as it approached. The streets near the seaside immediately quietened down, and the clamoring receded like the tidewaters.
Torches and lanterns lit up the boat, drawing closer and closer. People could now see the drummers on the deck furiously beating their drums, the heavy drumbeats were sometimes loud and sometimes low, rumbling and shaking the hearts of the people.
”It's the Great Drum of Dongzhao Palace!” It's the Dongguo Palace's Great Drum of the General's house! ” Among the crowd, the warriors from the famous families were the ones with the best knowledge. Just by listening to the rhythm, they could already tell what was going on.
Dongzhao Palace was actually a shrine that offered sacrifices to the Tokugawa. Due to the Mu Residence's 200 years of construction and promotion, it had become the most influential shrine among the Japanese people, and the offerings it received were also the most flourishing. To be able to hear about Dongzhao Palace's sacrificial ceremony being too exaggerated was truly inconceivable.
As the boat approached the dock, people saw the strong drummer in the cold wind wearing only her underpants, and also the white-robed Goddess of the Goddess of the Goddess of Beauty. Sure enough, the East Palace's divine banner was floating on the bow of the ship.
All of the warriors kneeled down and kowtowed to the divine flag, while mumbling to themselves, praying for their luck to last for a long time.
Dragon Lord and Sister Wu had also arrived from the inner city on horseback. The two of them did not know what the Mu Clan was planning, could it be that the Mu Clan was going to participate in this war as an official? If that was the case, he absolutely could not agree to it.
But the Dragon Lord thought wrongly, the one who walked down from the boat was not only the beautiful Goddess Officer but also an old acquaintance, and that was a disciple Xiao Letian had accepted in Japan, Itou Hirobumi.
Itou Hirobumi held onto a piece of fabric and was unable to see anything clearly. He walked over to Dragon Lord and said loudly, ”The Second Madam has personally embroidered a banner for the General in Jun Prefecture City. She has also offered it to the Long Hua Temple and the Eastern Illumination Palace as a blessing.
This was a very grand scene. A banner was made by the wife of the Prime Minister Xiao of the East China Sea who worked hard to make it, and he had to offer it up as a blessing in the Temple of Longhua and Dongguo Palace. No wonder the selection was so strict this time, one could imagine the importance of this war just by relying on this banner.
Those guys who gave up halfway, those idiots who shouted for injustice and returned home, go regret it. This was a once in a hundred years opportunity! Board load! Plate Load...
A thought flashed through Dragon Lord's mind and he immediately understood Hu Niu's plan. He did not expect that this crazy girl who was acting so arrogantly in Taihang Mountains would understand politics in just a few years. She was indeed worthy of being the Prime Minister's wife.
The Dragon Lord had received Xiao Letian's secret meeting before they left. At that time, Xiao Letian had told him everything, why did he need to accept a large number of Japanese samurai into the Far Eastern War? This was actually just a psychological battle between Xiao Letian and the Japanese samurai.
Perhaps we could say it in a more gentle manner. This was like the dispersing of water through treatment of the great Yu. It was a kind of surgical transformation of the way of the Japanese samurai that Xiao Letian dealt with the affairs of the Japanese samurai.
What exactly was the martial arts path? Xiao Letian had already explained it more than once, the way of martial arts was actually not that complicated, and there was no need to myths about him. The kung fu dao is actually just like the Confucianism of China. It is a kind of rule, a channel for talents to strive upwards, and also a kind of rule.
Chinese people rely on reading to change their fate, poor children pick up their books. As long as you are smart and diligent, you can change your fate and become a man above others. Then Confucianism is your path to life.
