Then Murong Fu released Liuchuan and entered the house with Yagyu Soyan. The two parties took their seats respectively. The servant brought tea and snacks. Murong Fu had no intention of moving and looked at Yagyu Soyan calmly without saying a word.
Yagyu Sogan naturally understood what he meant, but for a moment he seemed to not know where to start. He was silent for a while and smiled bitterly, "To be honest, I have not seen those so-called mysterious people with my own eyes. Are they from the Genji family?"
, what is the purpose of coming to the Central Plains, I am still confused now."
Murong Fu smiled faintly and was not in a hurry, "Then let me talk about you first. I see that your Liu Sheng family is in a fight. Your purpose in coming to the Central Plains this time is not small. Let me tell you what a big deal it is. If it is useful,
Murong's place, we are not stingy people either."
A gleam flashed in Yagyu Zongyan's eyes, and he stood up suddenly, bent down and bowed deeply, "Mr. Murong is a great benevolent and righteous man. I would like to express my thanks first."
Murong Fu sat with a stupefied expression on his face, and accepted this salute. Then he waved his hands and said with a smile, "Master Liu Sheng, please stop being like this. After all, you are still my elder. How can I be a junior?"
How dare you accept such a great gift from your elders?"
"Don't dare, don't dare," Yagyu Zongyan would not be stupid enough to take these words seriously. He waved his hands and refused, "It is her blessing that the little girl can come to the young master's side to be his maid, and it is also the blessing of the Yagyu family. How dare I do this?
Taking advantage of this opportunity to seek out relatives, if the master does not abandon him and is willing to be friends with Liu Sheng, Liu Sheng will feel deeply honored."
"Huh, old guy, you know how to advance and retreat..." Although he knew that the credibility of Yagyu Zongyan's words was less than 10%, Murong Fu still found it useful. He couldn't help but smile a little on his face, and said kindly, "Yagyu Soyan"
The head of the family has made serious remarks, come sit down and talk, we are all a family, there is no need to be so open-minded."
Only then did Yagyu Zongyan sit down as he was told, and continued what he had just said, "As the young master said, the Yagyu family has indeed received a big deal when they come to the Central Plains this time, but this matter still needs the accommodation of Young Master Murong.
One or two.”
"Oh? What kind of deal is it?" Murong Fu asked noncommittally.
Yagyu Zongyan hesitated for a moment and explained, "It's like this. Wu Sangui from the Central Plains knew somewhere that the Yagyu family was good at helping people eliminate disasters, so he came to the door through an old friend and promised a generous reward.
, asking the Yagyu family to eliminate dissidents for him. On the one hand, the old man cannot erase the favor of his old friend, but on the other hand... also..."
"Can't you refuse his price?" Murong Fu asked.
Yagyu Sect gave a stern smile and nodded honestly, "Indeed, let alone the old man, I am afraid that no force in Japan except the royal family can refuse."
"Old Turtle's hands are very long, and they reach all the way to Japan." Murong Fu cursed to himself, with a calm expression on his face, and continued to ask, "So the target he wants you to eliminate is the Golden Snake Camp?"
Yagyu Zongyan replied, "That's not entirely true. Wu Sangui didn't take the Golden Snake Camp seriously at first. It was only because of the defeat last time that he thought of using the Yagyu family to assassinate the leader of the Golden Snake Camp, and then send troops to severely damage the Golden Snake Camp.
"
This is a good idea. For an army with an insurrectionary nature like the Golden Snake Camp, capturing the thieves first is always the best strategy. As far as the current situation of the Golden Snake Camp is concerned, Yuan Chengzhi’s death will not cause the trees to fall and the hozens to scatter.
, it is certain that it will be torn apart. When the time comes, Wu Sangui Bingfeng will point out that it will be unstoppable.
However, Murong Fu was still a little puzzled. Since he invited the Yagyu family to wield this sharp sword at all costs, why not just let them assassinate Kangxi?
At this time, Yagyu Zongyan sighed, "Well, if I had known that this matter would involve the Murong family, even if Wu Sangui had offered ten times more money, the Yagyu family would never have accepted this business."
Murong Fu naturally sneered at this, not believing a word of it, and immediately said with a smile but not a smile, "In that case, it's not too late for the Yagyu family to return the order now."
Yagyu Shengzongyan's face stiffened and he said sarcastically, "Master Murong, why do you need to make fun of me? This kind of business of 'taking people's money and eliminating disasters' can be easily withdrawn. Besides, Wu Sangui is by no means an easy person to deal with."
, even if he is too far away to deal with the Yagyu family personally, as long as he publicizes this matter in Japan, the credibility that the Yagyu family has established for a hundred years will be destroyed overnight."
When Murong Fu heard this, his expression suddenly changed and he asked coldly, "So you know that you are going to meet the Murong family but you still insist on going your own way?"
"No, no, no, I have no such intention!" Yagyu Zongyan's eyes twitched when he saw this, "What I want to see is whether I can make some changes and come up with a two-pronged strategy, which can not only preserve the century-old foundation of the Yagyu family, but also
It ruins the friendship between our families."
Without waiting for Murong Fu to speak, he cautiously added, "If the young master can make some concessions on this matter, I promise that in the next three years, the Yagyu family will receive 50% of the profits from our cooperation, and I will also provide you with the best qualifications.
A hundred beautiful maids with excellent sex and art will be given as compensation."
Of course, everyone present was well aware of the so-called cooperation, and Murong Fu knew that with the cold-heartedness of the old guy in front of him, if he gave 50% of the profit here, he would definitely double the plunder and even expand the base of human trafficking, so as to
To ensure that the income of the Yagyu family does not decrease, after all, he has climbed the big tree of Wu Sangui. If he does not make good use of it, he will not be Yagyu Soen.
Yagyu Shenghuaqi, who had been silent all this time, seemed to have thought of this. A trace of undetectable sadness flashed across her cold face, and she couldn't help but call out, "Master..."
Before he could speak, Murong Fu waved his hand to interrupt him, but he looked at Yagyu Soyan with a sneer, "The Yagyu family master is good at doing business. He can make deals without paying anything. He can also get things done from both sides, and he can accomplish many things with one stone."
"Master Murong, where did you start talking about this? Didn't I already promise..."
"Hmph, what bullshit promises, what about giving 50% profit? You are doing a business without capital, and you still have the nerve to talk to me about whether to give away profits or not. Why, do you still want me to go into details about your Yagyu family's activities?"
"This..." Yagyu Muneyan was speechless for a moment, and then sighed after a while, "But I wonder how the young master is willing to accommodate this matter?"
Murong Fu did not answer the question. He pondered for a moment and then suddenly changed the topic, "The mysterious assassin who appeared in the hinterland of the Golden Snake Camp last night was really not your instigator?"
Yagyu Muneyan was stunned, and shook his head with a wry smile, "Young Master may know that there are many branches of the Minamoto clan in Japan, but no matter which branch is rich or noble, at worst it is a famous name. Even if I have some status in Japan, I am no more than a martial artist at best.
How is it possible to instigate people from the Minamoto family?"
After hearing this, Murong Fu immediately noticed the flaw in his words, "So you are sure that he is a member of the Yuan family?"
Yagyu Soyan's face changed slightly, and he immediately said, "Rukawa visited famous teachers in his early years and was involved in various Japanese martial arts. Since he said it was Genji, he should be 70-80% sure."
Murong Fu stared at the person in front of him with an indifferent expression. The old guy obviously had something to say, but there was nothing he could do to him at the moment. After all, there was no proof and it was not easy to force him to ask anything with just a few flaws in his words.
This is not because he suddenly changed his gender. After all, he is Yagyu Shenghuaqi's biological father. He still needs to be given some face. For now, we can only hope that the Crystal Palace can find out some useful information.
While his thoughts were turning, he temporarily suppressed his plan to torture her to extract a confession, glanced at Yagyu Shenghuaqi, and asked, "I heard from your subordinates earlier that your Yagyu family has cut off Qi'er's family name. What's going on?
"
Yagyu Soyan suddenly looked ashamed, "Young Master, you don't know. We Japanese people are xenophobic. If people know that the eldest daughter of the Yagyu family has married a Han Chinese, it will cause a huge blow to the prestige of the Yagyu family in the martial arts world. Therefore, the clan
After weighing the balance, I can only endure the pain and wronged Qi'er. Fortunately, the master treats Qi'er well, so I am very pleased."
After saying that, he looked at Yagyu Shenghuaqi and said, "Qier, father is sorry for you, and I hope you can forgive me."
Yagyu Shenghuaqi tilted her head slightly, as if she had not seen him.
Seeing this, a trace of doubt suddenly flashed in Murong Fu's mind. He remembered that he had sent Yagyu Shenghuaqi to see Yagyu Zongyan before. After Yagyu Shenghuaqi returned, she said that Yagyu Shengzongyan had taught her martial arts. The relationship between father and daughter did not seem to be cold.
Why didn't it look like that when we met today?
However, the complete break between Yagyu Kaiki and the Yagyu family is something he likes to see, so this little doubt only flashed by and was quickly thrown aside. His thoughts turned to the matter of the man in black, "Yes.
Okay, there is one more thing I want to ask the Yagyu family master."
Yagyu Shengzong was very anxious that Murong Fu would ask for something from him. Hearing this, he immediately nodded and said, "Young Master, it's okay to just say so."
"I met a Japanese master a few days ago. This person can practice both ninjutsu and swordsmanship to the highest level. Such a person must not be an unknown person. I wonder if the head of the Yagyu family has ever heard of him?" Murong Fu said.
asked in a very calm tone.
Yagyu Soyan's eyes flashed as if recalling, and he shook his head after a long time, "I've never heard of it."
"Really?" Murong Fu looked suspicious at first, then his eyes turned cold, and the temperature in the room dropped sharply. He said calmly, "As the number one swordsman in Japan and a master of the generation, you don't know anything about such a question. I'm afraid it's...
Is it a loss of identity? Or is it possible that you deliberately concealed and deceived each other?"
Yagyu Zongyan was immediately startled, and quickly raised his hands and said, "Young master, please calm down. Even if I had the courage to do so, I would never dare to deceive you."
"Don't you dare?" Murong Fu sneered, "Humph, I think you are very brave. There is nothing you dare not do."
Yagyu Munen smiled bitterly, "What I said is the truth. In Japan, when it comes to ninjutsu, senior Sarutobi Sasuke of the Koka sect should be the sect. There is no dispute about this. When it comes to swordsmanship, there are many famous masters, including many.
Strange people who are hidden in the world, but these people are only proficient in one thing. I have never heard of anyone who can practice ninjutsu and swordsmanship to the extreme at the same time."
After saying this, he paused and sighed, "Since ancient times, there are many people who practice both sword and ninja, but most of them have difficulty in achieving success. To be honest, there are such people, and I would like to see them with my own eyes."
Seeing how sincerely he said it, Murong Fu couldn't help but believe it, but he still said with a sullen face, "I can't care about that. To tell you the truth, the purpose of my coming today is to find out the identity of that person. What do you want to say?"
If you don’t come up with some useful information, don’t blame me for falling out.”
"Isn't this a rogue thing..." Yagyu Shengzongyan kept complaining. If it were anyone else, he would have greeted Murong Fu with his old fist, but for Murong Fu, especially after seeing him take action with his own eyes, he did not dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Young Master just said that this person has reached the pinnacle of ninjutsu and swordsmanship. He must have fought against each other before. I wonder if I can demonstrate one and a half moves. Maybe I can get some clues."
