A middle-aged man wearing a tall black hat that could only be worn by three or more ministers and a silk hunting coat put his palm on the handle of the knife at his waist and stepped into the palace.
His eyes were gloomy, staring at Su Wu who sheathed her sword.
Behind him, a middle-aged man wearing a black hat followed.
The man gave Su Wu a sinister smile and just released the shikigami 'Qing Ji'. He was the one who spat poisonous mist at Su Wu.
If Su Wu was just an ordinary warrior, he would most likely have fallen into this person's trap and been turned into a fool by Qingji's poisonous mist.
Su Wu put the Tianmo Pill into its sheath,
The surrounding Genji disciples all held broken swords in their hands.
The remnants of the swords lay scattered at their feet.
What exactly happened here just now, you can get a glimpse of most of it based on the messy scene around it.
Yuan Jingui's Adam's apple rolled, and when he saw that the sword handed over by King Yama finally broke away from his neck, he relaxed, and then quickly lost all his strength, and fell softly to the ground with a thud.
"stand up!"
"How can you be so weak and powerless as to be my Genji man?!
If you still can't stand up, commit suicide by committing seppuku!
Let grandpa be your fault-finder!"
The middle-aged man in a golden suit strode behind Yuan Jingui. Seeing that when the opponent withdrew his sword, Yuan Jingui fell to the ground in full view. He immediately became furious and scolded Yuan Jingui.
The palm that was holding the handle of the knife at his waist suddenly tightened.
If Minamoto Tsuki hadn't gotten up before he urged him, I'm afraid that as a grandfather, he would really cut off his own grandson's head with a knife and 'apologise' for his own grandson!
When Yuan Jingui heard the voice of the middle-aged man behind him, his face turned even paler with fright. He quickly struggled to get up from the ground, turned around and bowed to the middle-aged man in brocade clothes behind him: "Grandpa, I'm sorry!"
The man in the brocade uniform had no time to pay attention to Yuan Jingui.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the 'eldest man of the Inoue family' - Inoue Canteruha, who was already sitting safely opposite.
"Your Excellency, if you participate in my family's celebration banquet, will you kill the master of the family with a sword in my family's palace?" The man in brocade clothes asked in a cold voice.
There is no doubt about his identity,
He is the current head of the Minamoto clan and the right minister of the imperial court—Minamoto Norigo!
Su Wu raised his eyes to look at the tall and strong minister of the Wu family, and said calmly: "I brought the supreme sword to your family to solve your family's urgent need. However, at the celebration banquet, your youngest son pointed a sharp blade at my vital part. It was clear.
He's thinking of killing me!
Is this a family gift from the Guangyuan clan?!"
"uncle!
Nephew Jingui did lose a little bit of sense in this matter.
But all the faults are due to my failure to stop him in time - I am willing to bear all the faults and just ask my uncle to punish me. You must not punish Jingui's nephew, let alone disrespect your distinguished guest!"
Su Wu had just finished speaking, and before Minamoto Yorigo could speak, Minamoto Yoritomo had already bowed to him, holding the sword in both hands, and presented it to him.
He looked determined,
It seems that he is determined to bear all the mistakes.
However, the chaos just now was clearly seen by the discerning people around - it was clearly Minamoto Takashi who invited the elders of the Inoue family to compete in swordsmanship, but the other party refused to compete. Minamoto Takashi and all the Minamoto clan members got up angrily and drew their swords in response.
Minamoto Yoritomo also blocked Inoue's attempts twice.
This person and the situation have merit or demerit,
How can we put all the blame on him?
The eyes of the Genji children and retainers around him became intriguing.
Minamoto Yoritomo's heart was raging with anger, but his expression became calmer and calmer, and the eyes he looked at Minamoto Yoritomo became more friendly: "My good nephew played no role in this matter, and it was precisely because of you that he finally stopped this.
A private fight occurred,
I am not a fool,
How can I blame you?"
There is something in his words,
We already know that this is Yoritomo Minamoto's sudden rebellion and he wants to put himself on the fire!
After today’s celebration banquet,
Minamoto Yoritomo's name will surely spread to the ears of the Minamoto clan's relatives, retainers, and allies along with this turmoil!
My brother's son is really just like his brother, he is very good at sneaking into the camp and never misses any opportunity - Brother, brother, if it weren't for you to seize every opportunity, how could our family have made a mistake and led to the Ping clan's conquest?
The king of benevolence died in Guangming Mountain,
What caused the decline of Genji's power?
Your descendants should no longer hold the power of the Genji family.
They will only bring death to Genji!
Many thoughts passed through Minamoto Yorigo's mind. He looked at Minamoto Yoritomo who was kneeling on the ground and said: "Yoritomo, starting from tomorrow, you will take up the post of 'Attendant General' and lead the five troops of the Dajiangshan Crusade First Division."
The hundred warriors are all under your control!"
Minamoto no Yoritomo's face changed slightly when he heard this.
But then he put on a happy face and bowed to Minamoto Nori just to thank him.
Gen Lai just looked at his expression, but he was sneering in his heart. He turned to look at Su Wu, who was sitting opposite, and said with a smile: "It seems that I made an oversight. The unscrupulous descendants don't know the etiquette, and they actually went to the celebration banquet with
Fighting between benefactors is really rude!
This child has been under my knees since childhood,
I guess it's because I neglected to discipline him and the waiter didn't dare to restrain him, so I became more and more indulgent towards him!
In this case, as an apology, he was exiled to Izu.
When will you know etiquette and understand etiquette? When will you return to your home?"
After a few words,
Minamoto no Yoritomo was promoted to the rank of "Servant General", and Minamoto Taka was reduced to an exile from Izu. Their status seemed to be reversed in an instant.
However, only the parties involved know the truth best.
Minamoto Yorichao raised his head and glanced at Minamoto Yorigo,
This glance was also caught by Minamoto Noraigang, who turned around and gave him a friendly smile.
He lowered his head and raised the corners of his mouth from an angle that no one could see.
On the other hand, when Minamoto Taka heard that he was going to be exiled to Izu, he was so frightened that he screamed and begged on the spot. Minamoto no Riko waved him away in disgust, and ordered the waiters to drag him down to the central front hall!
"Grandpa, grandpa, forgive me!"
"I will never dare to be so arrogant again!"
"grandfather!"
Yuan Jingui's shouts echoed in the hall.
Minamoto Noraigo had already waved his hand, signaling the kabuki to continue playing music and dancing.
He asked the waiter to bring the case, and simply sat across from Su Wu, and said to Su Wu with a kind face: "I heard Yori Chao said that the sword movement in Kyoto this time depends entirely on your efforts.
Your Excellency once defeated my nephew Yoritomo with one move,
Yoritomo's nephew has been practicing abroad for many years and is known for his martial prowess. He didn't expect to be the enemy of your Excellency Ichigo.
You are such a warrior!
I once heard that your childhood name was ‘Bu’, could it be that Lu Bu was reincarnated?!”
Minamoto no Yoritomo was standing by, listening to Minamoto nori to belittle him calmly, but his face was expressionless.
People around him were shocked when they saw Minamoto Noraigon praising Su Wu as "the Lu Bu of the world". They did not expect that this warrior could be so brave.
At that time in the Tang Dynasty,
It's actually quite rude to compare people to Lu Bu.
After all, apart from his martial prowess, Lu Bu also lacked moral character and had a low character. He was not a good candidate for praise and comparison.
But in Dongliu Island,
However, they highly praised Lü Bu. Guan Gong, who was said to be "powerful in China" far away, if they praised him as "Lü Bu of this generation", then there was no derogatory meaning, it was all praise.
Su Wu smiled when he heard this and said, "I'm ashamed of myself."
"I heard from Yoritomo's nephew that the sword is still in your hands.
I wonder when you plan to return it to its original owner?" After some praise, Minamoto no Laigang took a direct look and expressed the issue he was most concerned about.
The eyes of all the Minamoto clan members and Minamoto no Laigang around were staring straight at Su Wu.
Waiting for his answer.
While he was being watched by everyone, his expression remained calm and calm.
The ghostly hand poked out from under the clothes without sound,
Not even a hint of charm was released.
A richly decorated sword was presented to Minamoto Norigō.
The dark arm was divided into two parts and turned into two ghost hands. One hand held the handle of the knife and the other held the scabbard. He slowly pulled the blade out of the box——
sand……
The bright light of the sword dazzled Minamoto Norigo's eyes.
He tried to stare at the blade,
Confirmed soon,
This sword is not as good as the 'Onikiri'!
But it is still a supreme sword!
It is indeed a supreme sword!
Minamoto Noraigo's heart was shattered!
The breathing of the warriors around him became rapid - being able to master a supreme sword is something that any warrior dreams of, and is willing to exchange his life for it!
The hearts of the Genji disciples are burning brightly,
One of the ghost warriors even thought carefully about whether he could seize the sword in Su Wu's hand on the spot?
However, after some consideration, they discovered that they had no chance at all!
The opponent's control over Li Wei's power is extremely subtle!
Those who have fought against the strongest ghost warrior of the Taira clan, 'Taira Chimori', even suspect that if 'Taira Chimori' fought with this person, the outcome would only be a 50-50 outcome!
The ghost hand retracted the blade.
Turned into a python and swallowed the whole sword in one bite.
Minamoto Norai's eyelids twitched and he looked at Su Wu with a puzzled expression.
Su Wu said: "I went through life and death in order to send this sword to Kyoto. The Inoue family supported me, and because of this, I will always be at odds with the Taira family. A weak country and small people, if they don't get the support of a noble family like the Genji,
I am afraid that I will be defeated by the Ping clan soon,
It has been reduced to dust and smoke.”
The elder of the Inoue family had a clear meaning behind his words.
Minamoto Norai just 'knows the elegant meaning when he hears the string' and said with a smile: "Your Excellency and your family have done great service to the Genji! If you offer this sword, I will have a great reward for you and your family!"
What are your requirements?
You can also bring it up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Wu made his request without hesitation: "In Inoue's family, there is an eldest son, Inoue Kiyoshi, who has no official position yet.
Please come to the Tomorrow Hall and confer the title of "Sixth Boqi State Protector" on behalf of "Inoue Kiyoshi"!
Please grant the land of Boqi to the head of the Inoue family, "Inoue Haruko".
Please spread the word to all the areas under the jurisdiction of the Minamoto clan and recognize me as the "Guardian General of the Boqi Kingdom" and "The Guardian General of the Bizen Kingdom"!
Please give me five thousand taels of gold to support the hundreds of Inoue family samurai who died while carrying the sword this time!
Please give a country and land to the Inoue family,
And recognized the eldest son ‘Inoue Kiyoshi’ as the guardian general of the place!
Please allow the swordsmith ‘An Gang’ to return to Boqi Kingdom with me!”
A series of requests came out of Su Wu's mouth.
The Inoue family does not have an eldest son, Kiyoshi Inoue.
The so-called Inoue Kiyoshi will soon be the ‘Inoue Haruko’ who will disguise herself as a man in the future.
On the way to carry the knife this time,
The Inoue family did not have hundreds of samurai who died.
But, so what?
Whether there is one or not, only the one with the strength has the final say!
