Crossing the Swordsman: Lin Pingzhi, the Swordsman of Evil

Chapter 80
Lin Pingzhi chuckled, and he said: "From the girl's behavior before, I suspected that the girl is from Dongying."

Hearing Lin Pingzhi's words, Fu Ying blinked and said, "People from Dongying?"

Hearing Fu Ying's rhetorical question, Lin Pingzhi was a little surprised. He said: "The girl's surname is Hattori, and her behavior and habits are the same as those of Dongying people. If the girl is not from Dongying, where is she from?"

After listening to Lin Pingzhi's words, Fu Ying nodded, and she said: "You are right."

Lin Pingzhi was at a loss when he heard Fu Ying's words.

"What is it called? Is the girl from Dongying?" Lin Pingzhi asked strangely.

Fu Ying looked at him with her almond eyes and said with a smile: "Why, is it important who I am? You said it yourself before, and you don't know where you are from."

Lin Pingzhi laughed lightly, and then said: "Hehe, I'm just curious, but one's quality cannot be judged from one's background. As long as the girl is upright, and her deeds are kind and chivalrous, it doesn't matter where she is. .”

Fu Ying held her face and looked at him with a smile and said, "Then I will satisfy your curiosity, but this story may be a bit long."

Lin Pingzhi sat there quietly and said: "The long night is long and boring, since the girl is willing to talk, I will listen carefully."

"First of all, let me answer your first question, whether I am from Japan or not. To be honest, I don't know too well, after all, I grew up in Kyoto in Japan. In a way, I am indeed Dongying people. But I was not born in Dongying.”

"So, the girl was originally from the Central Plains, and then grew up in Japan?" Lin Pingzhi interjected.

Fu Yingxiu frowned slightly and said: "When I'm talking, don't interrupt. Once you interrupt, I don't know where to start."

Lin Pingzhi smiled and waved to her, expressing his apologies.

Without Lin Pingzhi's interruption, Fu Ying continued: "I was born overseas in 'Shuri Castle', the capital of the Ryukyu Kingdom."

Hearing the words "Ryukyu Kingdom", Lin Pingzhi was a little surprised.

But if Fu Ying is from the Ryukyu country, then it really has nothing to do with the Dongying people.

Lin Pingzhi knew this country, which was a small island country off the southeast coast.It is located between Yizhou Island in the Central Plains and Kyushu Island in Japan.Since the fifth year of Taizu, it has been a vassal state of the Central Plains court.

The residents of its land are mainly the descendants of the Han people who immigrated from neighboring Yizhou Island, Fujian and other places, and the natives of Ryukyu.

Influenced by the sovereign state, their traditional national costumes and various living habits are similar to those of the Central Plains people.

If Fu Ying was born in the Ryukyu Kingdom, then she would have nothing to do with the Dongying people in terms of culture or blood.It is reasonable to say that she is not from Dongying.

"My origin starts with my parents. Although my surname is Hattori, I am not my father's biological daughter. I am just my father's stepdaughter. My mother is from the Ryukyu Kingdom, but my biological father, My mother didn't mention it much, and I feel that my mother always shy away from mentioning him."

Lin Pingzhi asked: "That's how it is. It turns out that the girl is not from Dongying in terms of blood, but she grew up in Dongying since she was a child, and she is also considered Dongying in terms of cultural habits. No wonder you said that she is both. But why Lingtang is unwilling to mention it?" What about your father? And why?"

Fu Ying shook her head and said: "I don't know much about this either. Anyway, since I was sensible, my mother never told me about my biological father until she passed away. She just said that my biological father went to sea to do business and never came back."

"Shortly after my biological father left, my mother gave birth to me. It's just that my mother was a daughter-in-law. Without the help of her husband, she had no other means of making a living. Fortunately, my mother was born beautiful. In order to make a living, she And to support me. So I became a singer in the Fangsi of Ryukyu, which is the 'shameless' women you mentioned before."

Hearing Fu Ying's last words, Lin Pingzhi hurriedly shook his head and said, "I said before that self-willing to be humble is not the same as being forced to make a living. The world is impermanent. In this world, everyone comes from different backgrounds and lives. It's different, how can the evaluation of good and evil, etiquette, righteousness and shame be generalized."

"People who live in a high position and have no worries about food and clothing are not qualified to criticize the suffering of those in the lower position. In the world of life, although loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, courtesy, justice and shame should be the foundation of one's life. But in my opinion, we must first be able to 'survive', That’s the only way to talk about these things.”

"If you want to survive, do some despicable things that don't hurt others. It's okay to sacrifice your life for benevolence and sacrifice your life for righteousness. That's the character of a 'hero' and a 'sage'. You can't ask everyone to be a 'hero' 'saint'."

After listening to his words, Fu Ying smiled sweetly.Her dimples are still so beautiful.

"Since the girl was born in Ryukyu, how did she go to Dongying? She still grew up there." Lin Pingzhi asked.

"This is what happened later. When I was about one year old, my mother was spotted by the nobleman of Japan, that is, my stepfather Qianjun Hattori. After that, our mother and daughter followed him to Kyoto, the capital of Japan."

Speaking of the place "Kyoto", Fu Ying's eyes lit up, she looked at Lin Pingzhi and said with a smile: "The maple trees and cherry blossoms in Kyoto are beautiful!"

But then there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.

Fu Ying continued: "There are many cherry blossoms in Dongying, and the most beautiful ones are the cherry blossoms in Kyoto. And my name 'Yakko' is also taken from the cherry blossoms. After I arrived in Kyoto with my mother, I settled down there. After that, I I have been living in Dongying. Two years after we arrived in Dongying, my mother also gave birth to a younger brother for my father. Although I was not born to my father, my father treated me very well. He raised me as his own daughter."

Lin Pingzhi continued to ask: "How did Miss Fu get to the Central Plains? Although I have never been to Dongying, the Central Plains and Dongying are across the sea, and the vast sea is difficult to fly across."

After hearing this, Fu Ying sighed, and she continued: "This matter started with one person, that is 'Toyotomi Hideyoshi'. After General Oda died in Honnoji, Toyotomi Hideyoshi became The new general. In order to consolidate his power, he began to suppress the feudal lords allied with General Oda and their retainers and samurai.”

"And my father, and Uncle Sarutobi are all targets of suppression."

Hearing the word Yuan Fei, Lin Pingzhi couldn't help frowning.

Seeing Lin Pingzhi's expression changed, Fu Ying asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Lin Pingzhishu opened his eyebrows, and then said: "It's nothing, I just don't understand what you said. So let's skip these things. How did you get to the Central Plains?"

Fu Ying didn't blame Lin Pingzhi either. After all, Dongying people's names are hard to pronounce, and some surnames are very strange when translated into Chinese.For example, "zhukou", "quanyang", "my grandson" and so on.

It is normal for Lin Pingzhi, who was born and bred in the Central Plains, to not understand, or even feel that it is irrelevant, and not understand at all.

So Fu Ying skipped over these Japanese "love and enmity" and continued: "Because my father is hostile to the new general in power, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and our family was arrested by Toyotomi together with other warriors who opposed him a few years ago." Omi Hideyoshi drove them out of Japan." Having said this, Fu Ying's expression became sad again.
