Yagyu Shenghuaqi was startled, and subconsciously wanted to explain something, but before she could speak, she felt her body lighten up, and the surrounding scenery changed drastically. After a period of spinning, she appeared outside a courtyard wall. There was a faint sound of wind whistling in the courtyard, and accompanied by
Gold and iron jingle.
"Master, this..."
"Shh, don't make a sound."
Murong Fu made a silent gesture, raised his eyes and saw that there happened to be a wing nearby. With a sway of his shoulder, he jumped over the courtyard wall, landed on the roof of the wing, lay down on the ridge and looked inside.
I saw sand and rocks flying in the courtyard, a strong wind, and five shadows suddenly separated and merged, looming, and it was clear that there were five masters fighting. To be precise, four masters were besieging one person.
With Murong Fu's eyesight, it was not difficult to recognize that the person being besieged was Yagyu Sheng Zongyan. He was a little surprised, why did Yagyu Zongyan still have enemies in the Central Plains? After a few glances, he suddenly understood that these five people were not
They are fighting to the death, but they are just comparing martial arts. It's just that the other four people have different martial arts methods, but I don't know where they come from?
Thinking of this, he cast an inquiring look at Yagyu Kaiki. Yagyu Kaqi understood, leaned close to his ear and explained in a very low voice, "These four people are the four masters of the Yagyu family. They are called
'Rukawa', 'Zimo', 'Yellow Spring', and 'Biluo', some of them are martial arts masters, and some are retainers who have followed the Yagyu family since its founding. They all have their own strengths in martial arts, and they are all the best in the world.
Master, just..."
After speaking, her voice became smaller and smaller, as if she had some doubts.
Murong Fu looked at the field attentively. Indeed, these four people have profound skills and extraordinary skills. If they pick any one of them, they can match the super masters of the Central Plains. If their exotic martial arts routines are always unexpected, I'm afraid.
Even the best masters will suffer big losses if they don't notice. Of course, Yagyu Sogan's martial arts is only at the level of the four masters of the Central Plains. The reason why he is able to defeat four with one against four is probably because he is very familiar with the four-person martial arts.
s reason.
"You seemed to be about to say something just now, why didn't you say it?" After coming back to his senses, Murong Fu turned to Yagyu Shenghuaqi and asked.
Yagyu Shenghuaqi hesitated for a moment, "The four masters never left the Yagyu family at the same time, but I don't know why they followed their father to the Central Plains at the same time this time?"
"Oh?" Murong Fu was stunned for a moment, then his eyes flickered slightly, "So your father has some big business to do when he comes to the Central Plains this time."
"Could it be..." Yagyu Shenghuaqi didn't know what she thought of, her eyes lit up slightly, but soon fell silent again, "Perhaps something happened to the Yagyu family, and my father had to make a desperate move."
Murong Fu raised his brows slightly and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a loud "Zila" sound. He turned around and saw a long and narrow sword with dazzling silver light suddenly appeared in the field, and an extremely cold chill spread out.
It froze the surrounding void. The four masters cooperated with each other and forced Yagyu Zongyan to the left and right. But as soon as the sword energy came out, his body suddenly became sluggish and his movements were difficult. He just wanted to withdraw his move.
The defenses are ineffective.
Fortunately, Yagyu Muneyan had no intention of taking the lives of the four people. The sword energy passed through the gap between the four people and finally disappeared into the air more than ten feet away.
The four masters withdrew their skills, looked at each other with lingering fear, and immediately knelt down and said in unison, "Congratulations to the master of the family for his great improvement in martial arts. He has become unparalleled in the world since then. I will definitely serve the family master to the death."
"Hahaha..." Yagyu clan's beard and hair spread out and he burst into laughter, as if he was proud of the spring breeze. It took him a long time to stop laughing, and he raised his hand, "Please stand up, but when the Yagyu family becomes prosperous, I will not do it."
Forget the contributions of the four of you."
"Thank you, Master."
The four people stood up and then stood aside respectfully.
Yagyu Zongyan was in a good mood, but he soon calmed down. He raised the long knife in his hand and looked at it for a moment. Suddenly he stretched out his hand and flicked it. He heard a "clunking" sound, and the long knife broke in response, and the small blade flew out.
Others were very puzzled when they saw this. Why should they break a good knife?
Yagyu Soyan casually threw away the broken blade and sighed, "No matter how good your swordsmanship is, it will be in vain without the help of a good sword..."
When everyone heard this, they realized that it turned out that he thought the sword in his hand was not good enough. But then again, as the head of Japan's number one martial arts family, how could the sword he used be so bad? Is he really going to find the legendary sword?
Are those famous knives considered good knives?
They didn't understand that for Yagyu Sogan, who had witnessed the power of the Heavenly Sword on Knight Island, no matter how sharp or strong an ordinary weapon was, it was just an ordinary piece of iron that could be broken with just a few more skills, and could not compete with the real sword.
The magic weapons are comparable.
This is also the reason why he immediately sent people to inquire about the whereabouts of the famous sword after returning to Japan. However, after so many years, it can be said that he has gained nothing. Sometimes he even came up with the idea of making a famous sword by himself, but it cost the Yagyu family
It's still unaffordable, because a famous sword cannot be made by just making it. Manpower and material resources are secondary, and the most important thing depends on timing and opportunity.
"Master," one of the four masters suddenly came out and whispered, "it is said that one of the five swords in the world, 'Mikazuki Munechika' and the famous sword 'Kanshi Masamune' are both hidden in the General's Mansion. With yours and the General's
Given the relationship, it shouldn’t be difficult to ask him for one, right?”
When Yagyu Soyan heard this, his face became extremely ugly for a moment, but he soon returned to normal. Others hardly noticed, only he shook his head and said lightly, "The general has already summoned me to take a look, but it's a pity that the two
Everything is not suitable for my use. Not only is it useless to my sword skills, it is actually harmful."
Everyone looked confused when they heard this. Not only did he want a famous sword, but he also wanted a famous sword that was suitable for him to use?
At this time, Yagyu Soyan changed the topic, "Okay, we'll talk about the sword later. Rukawa, go and bring those trash over."
"yes."
After Rukawa left, Yagyu Sogan turned around and walked to the front of the hall, where there was a table. The tea had been cooked on the table and was steaming. He poured a cup slowly, then took a sip and savored it carefully.
.
After a while, Rukawa led four Japanese people back to the courtyard and stood in front of Yagyu Muneyan. Two of the four people were still wearing night clothes, and two were wearing normal Japanese clothes, but they all had disheveled hair and looked very ordinary.
Embarrassed.
But seeing these four people bowing forward, they bowed and said, "I have met the head of the Yagyu family."
Yagyu Soyan was sipping the tea by himself and didn't mean to pay attention.
The expressions of the four people changed slightly. They looked at each other and said one after another, "Master Yagyu, don't be angry. It was really an accident last night. If someone hadn't intervened, how could we have been defeated so easily."
"That's right, those guys came out of nowhere, they were ruthless and they killed everyone they saw, leaving no one alive. Our people were scared out of their wits before even seeing the people from the Golden Snake Camp. How could we fight?
Well this."
"If you ask me to blame the Yagyu family for this, your information was so inaccurate that we were caught off guard and that's why we were so miserable."
…
When Murong Fu saw this on the roof, he still didn't understand. The Japanese Ronin who attacked the Golden Snake Camp last night were the subordinates of these four men.
As if to confirm his guess, Yagyu Shenghuaqi said at the right time, "These four people are the leaders of the ronin in Shandong. They should have sent the assassins in the mountains last night."
There is no doubt about this, but Murong Fu is still a little puzzled, "I heard that these ronin can no longer survive in Japan, so they wander around and plunder and become bandits. How come your father's appeal is so great? Whatever.
Just ask them to run to the Golden Snake Camp headquarters to deliver food as soon as you open your mouth?"
Although there are fights between the Golden Snake Camp and the Japanese pirates in Shandong from time to time, they are all small fights. These Japanese pirates are not fools. The power of the Golden Snake Camp is obvious to all. They only have a few people. How many people do they dare to do?
Stupid thing?
"Maybe...maybe my father promised them some great benefits." Yagyu Shenghuaqi hesitated and explained, "As the master said, most of these ronin were indeed expelled. For them,
, it is a great thing to be able to return to China, and with my father's status in Japan, it is not difficult to do this."
"Really?" Murong Fu changed the topic, "Then the other small group of ronin are your big families, deliberately sent by the daimyo forces to gather information, plunder property, or even deliberately cause trouble and provoke war between the two countries?"
Yagyu Hanaki was so excited that she kept saying she didn't dare. In the end, she did not forget to defend the Yagyu family, saying that her father was only used by others and so on.
"Okay, you don't need to be so nervous. I know that these things are not your fault. As for whether the Yagyu family is being used by others, it has nothing to do with you. Don't forget, you are no longer a member of the Yagyu family."
Yagyu Shenghuaqi sighed silently and said nothing more.
"A bunch of rubbish!" At this time, Yagyu Muneyan in the courtyard suddenly yelled, "If the mission fails, they will only blame others and will not look for the reasons for themselves. Hundreds of assassins can't deal with dozens of people.
You talk about elites without shame, but I think they are trash elites, right? Humph, you are such trash, why should I keep you?"
The four of them trembled and knelt on the ground with a thud, begging for mercy, "Master, please calm down, it's the little people who made a mistake."
Yagyu Zongyan looked at each other coldly, and after a long time he said, "If it weren't for me to be in the position of employing people, huh...get up, I will write it down for you for what happened last night, and if you fail next time, you will know what the consequences will be.
.”
The four of them were overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Next time, without the Yagyu family taking the initiative, we will commit suicide to apologize. Thank you to the family master for not killing him."
"Thank you."
"roll."
"yes."
The four people stood up in a hurry, said goodbye and left.
At this time, Huang Quan, one of the four masters, stood up and said, "Master, are you really going to let them go like this?"
"Let it go?" Yagyu Shengzongyan sneered, "How can there be such a cheap thing in the world? Although these four losers are incompetent, they have looted a lot of property in the Central Plains over the years. The whereabouts of this property have not yet been figured out.
, keep them for now, and wait until the property is found before taking their lives. Well, I’ll leave this matter to you, Huang Quan.”
"Yellow Quan takes command!"
"By the way," Yagyu Sogan suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Rukawa, "They just said that 'that group' was interfering. What happened?"
Rukawa frowned slightly, "Master, this matter is really strange to say. Based on the information we learned from the survivors who came back this morning, there were three forces that appeared in the Golden Snake Camp last night, and one was the assassin we sent.
, a force of unknown origin, they are ruthless and decisive in killing, and extremely difficult to deal with, but it is certain that they are a force from the Central Plains, and they are allies with the Golden Snake Battalion."
Yagyu Soyan nodded calmly after hearing this, "What else?"
"There is one last force, which is neither an ally of the Golden Snake Battalion nor an ally of ours. This group has the smallest number of people, but they are all highly skilled in martial arts. They kill everyone they see and leave no one alive. Judging from their behavior and the way they die,
Judging from the wounds they made on the corpse, it seems that they came from... from..."
Speaking of the latter part, Rukawa hesitated a little and seemed to be quite afraid.
Yagyu Zongyan is a mature man, so he naturally knows that the force that can make everyone in front of him feel fearful is definitely not the Central Plains force, so the only remaining force is the Japanese force. With a flash of his eyes, he waved to Rukawa to come forward and speak, but
At this moment, his expression suddenly changed, he grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it out, shouting, "Who's there!"
