Volume 4 The Nation Chapter 20 The Balance of the Kingdom
"Just to catch so many people, I lost two lower ninjas and one middle ninja, and the price paid was too great. But as you said, the demon person in your mouth is indeed very powerful, and I really have to thank you, the great sinner of Laiguo. "The person who spoke was deep in darkness, and only the outline could be seen. In a dark room, except for the light reflected in the windows, the whole room was filled with a chilling atmosphere. On the wall of the room, a man dressed in white was tied to a shelf with his limbs tied, his body covered in scars, his hair was scattered, and his face was blurred by blood, but he could still recognize it as Yagyu Juro himself by his eyes. He entered the central island after Yan Che, which can be described as the order of the front and back feet, but Yanagi was bent on going to the Daimyo's Mansion to report the situation at that time, so he had no intention of going to the same road with Yan Che again. Unexpectedly, when entering the dock, he was attacked at the dock, and after being caught by the enemy, the other party used special torture methods to let Yanagi take out all the trays he knew, and only then did Yan Che carelessly lose the three people.
The person who spoke revealed his true face from the darkness, and judging from his clothes, he was also a ninja, but he was not masked. He approached Yanagi, crouched down and looked at Yanagi's embarrassed appearance, laughing happily alone in the room.
"Don't hurt them. Yanagi said vaguely.
"Of course, they're also my bargaining chips, and I'm not going to kill them, but I also have a lot of questions I want to ask them, and if they don't tell the truth, then I'll have to do something about it, just like I did to you. ”
"Xiaofeng, I can understand that you have a hatred for us Yanagi, but don't involve anyone else. ”
"You say this as if I didn't do it right and have to apologize to you, do you think it's just a grudge between a samurai and a ninja, or a grudge between your Yagyu family and our Koga faction? I resent that the country was so self-contained, closed off from the rest of the country, and deliberately strengthened the samurai and ninjas, so that the two sides could keep each other in check, and the daimyo would take advantage of it. If you have to do the same thing with two people with different opinions, the result will of course be a defeat for both sides, and you will never be able to threaten the throne. For many years, the Koga faction has done so many unsightly things for the liver and brain of the Lai country, eliminating external troubles, but in the end, they have not received a trace of praise, because we are people who are deep in the dark, transparent people who are not known to the world. All the credit will be added to the famous general's mansion and will be admired by thousands of people. You know, like last night when I lost three of my men, they won't even have a person to collect the body, but they will be quietly destroyed by the department that handles the body, and they can't even return to the land where they lived, what are those people living for?"
"It seems that you not only want to deal with our Yanagi clan, but also have the ambition to usurp the throne. ”
"Isn't it true that the best people should be the leaders of a country, and why can a pig who can only eat and drink Lazar sit behind a barrier, command his subordinates from above, and let the better people work for him? If the country continues to be consumed in this way, it will only become the bag of other countries after all, and when we are still fighting in the nest here, I am afraid that the countries on the mainland will already be changing with each passing day, and all kinds of waste will be in ruins. According to the ninja I came back from, that demon was so powerful that he could create an immense flame in the sky and light up the entire town. I can't imagine that one day when that sea of mist can no longer protect us, how many enemies will step into our territory from the other side, and then the old and weak soldiers after our internal strife will be killed by the enemy, and they will burn down our houses, force our women, and take our children as slaves, then who will stand up and protect this country? If you look at our army, you also know very well that Kyushu is the largest naval base in the country, and the entire state has nearly 200 warships, and it still allows you to break in, as if it were a fictitious. I'm afraid that now the daimyo already knows that the enemy has entered, and now he is in a hurry, and wants our Koga faction or the shogun's mansion to come forward to destroy the enemy. ”
Before Hina Feng could finish speaking, a ninja walked in from outside the iron door of the room, knelt down on one knee and said to Hina Feng, "My lord, what should you do with those three overseas people?"
"Don't let them die, just keep your breath. The Piercing Gutsan will keep them in disarray and lack of strength, and when the time comes, I will show them to the Daimyo and let him know how fast our Koga faction is moving. ”
"What! You fed them and clothed them? You brute, my wife is ten months pregnant, and you don't spare even the most fragile pregnant woman!"
"What are you anxious with me, it's good that I left them alive. If your child can't survive, maybe it's a good thing, it's because he is not strong enough to survive in this troubled world. Sometimes, life's trials begin before birth. Isn't this how we ninjas came over, when we were born, our parents were killed, so that we could cut off our emotions and become the tools of others to kill. I envy your children, like me, watching the world devastated and human nature more and more degenerate, or it is easier to die. ”
"Ah, you bastard!" Yanagi was furious, trying to break free of the rope with all his strength, but to no avail. The Heart Sword Flowing Sakura has been hidden by them, and the unarmed swordsman is no threat. The young phoenix laughed again, laughing at Liu Sheng's embarrassed appearance.
In the town, because Yan Che lost the order of the three people, he ordered the shark to break the evil to give the people of this country a warning. The shark broke the evil standing on the surface of the sea, and used the "sea burial" to stir up a layer of 30-meter-high waves, and then the waves stopped a hundred meters close to the shore, as soon as the shark broke the evil spirit, the 30-meter-high waves will flood the entire town. The townspeople began to flee the city in frenzy, but a wall of fire blocked their way in the opposite direction of the waves. Yan Che stood in front of the wall of fire, staring at the local residents in front of him.
The mayor of the town stepped forward and asked Yan Che why he wanted to harm them. Yan Che teleported and came to the mayor, causing him to fall to the ground in fright. Then he took the mayor by the collar and said, "My men have been taken captive, and I want you to bring a message to your king, and he had better return my men to me unharmed, or I will drown all of you." ”
After Yan Che let go of his hand, the mayor hurriedly retreated into the crowd and said tremblingly, "We don't know what you, the people from the outer seas, are talking about, your people have been taken captive, what does it matter to us. ”
"Now it's okay, if you don't do what I say, you're all going to die. Which of you is the fastest?"
Everyone looked at each other, and the last short man stood up and said, "I am an errand boy for the post station, and I can run to Kyoto in an hour, and this is exactly an hour away from Kyoto." ”
"Well, I give three hours, including the time to go back and forth, and now the lives of the whole town are in your hands, and I hope that you will run with all your might, and bring what I want to say to your king, and see if your king cares about your life. ”
Yan Che opened a gap in the wall of fire behind him, just enough for a person to pass through. The people of Laiguo all looked at the errand man, he was the hope of the whole village, the savior who led everyone out of the predicament. The errand man glanced behind him, he was looking for a woman he had loved for a long time, but unfortunately he was too small to be favored, and now he could finally raise his eyebrows for himself with this action. He bowed to everyone, and then ran out of the wall of fire as fast as he could, disappearing into the flames. They sat down in their place, and after a few hours, the man could bring someone to deliver them.
However, the world is unpredictable, and the errand was only three miles away, and when the ultra-short road passed through a wood, I suddenly felt that my neck was hung by some thin thread. The errand touched his neck, trying to look back to see what was going on, and suddenly his picture began to flip, and it was his head falling from his neck. His body also stood for a few seconds before collapsing. And on the road he had just run, a bloody wire showed a trace in the sunlight, and he was cut off by the wire that stopped on the road.
A ninja came out of the bushes, and he came out to retrieve the wire. With his thumb and forefinger in his mouth and a whistling whistle, a falcon descended from the sky and landed on his arm. The ninja puts a note into a small bamboo tube on the Falcon's leg and asks the Falcon to send a message to people from afar. After watching the falcon fly away, the ninja walked over to the dead errand runner, picked up his head, and took a dagger from his waist and cut off the errand runner's face......
In a claustrophobic room, Fu Qinggu and Lanzi improved their condition after drinking the antidote. Fu Qinggu hurried to Lanzi's side to see her physical condition. Lanzi couldn't speak, just touched her stomach and shed tears, for fear that something would go wrong with the child in her womb. Fu Qinggu was very angry and scolded outside the iron gate, but no one responded.
"This demon is really a waste, just a few people can kidnap the people he is close to, and talk about the great cause of unification, it's really a fool's dream. Fu Qinggu cursed Yan Che, who was not by his side, of course Yan Che couldn't hear it. After scolding, she looked at the sad Arashiko, and she didn't dare to speak anymore. Zhao Yige was locked up in a room alone, his antidote was only half given, and now his body is still a little dull and unlucky. His hands were tied behind him with iron chains, lying on the ground and unable to move, he also looked remorseful, but he didn't expect that because he was careless and didn't help Yan Che, he would make trouble for him now, and angrily he hit his head on the ground without listening.
Fu Qinggu and Lanzi leaned against the wall together, and the already cool room was even more depressing because of the silence. Fu Qinggu felt that she needed Yan Che very much at this time, she was even more ridiculous compared to him, she couldn't help anything along the way, and in the end, she had to be rescued by others.
"Can't we do something ourselves?" Fu Qinggu said to herself, when a voice came from the magic ring in her hand.
"The hosts, there is something we can do. ”
"Ah Zi, I forgot that there is still you, can you help us out?"
"I'm afraid it's too risky. The people here are very strange, even if they are ordinary people, they will have a faint aura on their bodies, but they can't detect a trace of aura on their bodies. I can't feel where they are, so we're in the open and in the dark, and we can't move. I have a way of communicating our location to the previous owner. ”
"Do you have a way to let Yan Che know where we are? ”
"This one needs the help of the host. My chaotic space is connected to the chaotic space of my previous master, and as long as I open the chaotic rift, the previous master can sense it no matter how far away it is. But with my own consciousness, I can't open chaos, I have to open it by the master. ”
"So what am I going to do?"
"Learn the art of chaos now. ”
"Let me learn spells?" Fu Qinggu had an expression of disbelief, she couldn't think that the last resort would still depend on herself, and she herself was a cultivation idiot, she didn't know anything, how to learn such a profound spell. can only be used as a living mother doctor for a dead horse, and he has studied hard.
The scene returns to the sky, and the falcon with the letter flies all the way to Kyoto. In a watchtower in Kyoto, there is a gap in one of the windows, as if it was specially reserved for the falcon to land. The falcon slipped through the small crack in the window, and there was already someone waiting inside, dressed in yellow and still wearing a mask over his face. The man removed the wooden tube from the falcon's feet, released the falcon, and then read the contents of the paper. The only eye on the man's face turned into a smiling look. He pinched the paper with three fingers, and it instantly burst into flames and turned to ashes. He then changed into an official uniform, mounted a horse, and headed to the castle tower in the center of Kyoto City. The castle tower has 10 floors, and at the top of it is the king of the country, the Daimyo.
The man dismounted, took out the waist tag from his waist, and the guard let him into the building. He slowly walked up one step at a time to the tenth floor. In a small room on the 10th floor, a screen divides the room in two, and behind the screen is the Daimyo. There was also a person kneeling in front of the screen, of course the man knew him, and this kneeling person was the strongest samurai in the Lai country, the general of the Shogun's Palace, Yanagi Shibei. As soon as the ten guards saw the man, they said, "You don't have a good eye on the safety of Kyoto, what are you doing here, Rehmannia Maru." ”
This man is Rehmannia Pill, the third yellow ninja of the Koga faction.
"I also want to ask you, our great hero, General Shibei, why are you here. ”
"Last night in Toyama Prefecture, west of Kyoto, there was a huge fire in the sky, and I guess everyone saw it. My people went to check overnight and found that Qujiang Castle in Toyama Prefecture had been surrounded by flames, but the fire lasted for a night, only burning on the periphery of the town, not into the city, and it was obvious that there was an extremely strong cultivator controlling that city. It's just a pity that my people can't break in, I don't know what's going on inside, and I can't know what the purpose of the caster is. According to news from Kyushu, the traitor ...... The traitor Yagyu Juro seems to have entered Rai Province. ”
"What? Yagyu Juro? is the same son of yours who tricked me into going abroad a few years ago and almost killed me outside?"
"The great name atoned for his sins, and broke off his kindness long ago, and now that he has entered our country, he has naturally cleared the gates in the next place, and personally brought his head to you. ”
"You'd better do this, or I'll take back your title of general. ”
"Yes. Rehmannia pills, what about you?"
Rehmannia Maru also came to Yagyu Shibei's side and kowtowed to the screen. Then he raised his head and said, "Lord Daimyo, I know who the person who held Qujiang City hostage. ”
"Oh, who is it, is that traitor Yagyu Juro?"
"No, it's a demon from the abyss. ”
"What, demons! Is there really a demon in this world?"
"That's natural, a hundred years ago, my country defeated the demons with the power of the five countries of the continent and let them return to hell. In the past hundred years, our country and the people have been safe, and under your leadership, there is plenty of food and clothing, and it is normal to forget the defeat of the demon clan. ”
"Oh, what General Yagyu said is also an exaggeration, the Majin doesn't look that powerful. ”
"Daimyo-sama, I have something to tell you. ”
"What's the matter?"
"I know where the sinner Yanagi Juro is. ”
After Dihuang Pill said this, the entire room fell into a deathly silence.
