"Rehmannia Pill, you can't joke in front of the Daimyo, Yagyu Juro is serious to you?"

"Of course, he has been secretly imprisoned by our faction, and few people know his whereabouts, and if the general wants to save his son, I can't help but say it. ”

"If you tell me where he is, I will bring his head to the Daimyo. ”

"Alright, the general will stop talking. The daimyo slowly got up, ready to step out from behind the screen. The two maids held his arm, and after walking out of the screen, a fat man with a short stature and a big belly appeared. The daimyo walked over and picked up the Rehmannia Pill and asked him again, "Then bring that traitor quickly." ”

Rehmannia Pill didn't immediately agree to the Daimyo, and his castle was something that no one could fathom. He replied, "My lord, I'm afraid not now." ”

"Why not?"

"As I said, the traitor Yagyu Juro not only came back on his own, but also with a vengeful grudge. As early as many years ago, he conspired with King Qi to murder your life, and thanks to your great fortune, he was able to return to China, and now he has made a comeback and brought the demon over. The strength of the demon is also not to be underestimated, as the general said, last night's image was done by the demon. And there is actually a reason why the demons are so blatantly flaunting their might on the territory of our country. ”

"What is the reason?"

"The Majin's wife was caught by me. ”

"What! It's not a loss to the Koga faction, this general's mansion is just a little bit of a fur investigation in one night, and you have already taken care of everything, which is really an eye-opener for me. ”

"At the moment, the demon doesn't know the life and death of his wife, and now he is coerced by the people of a town in Qujiang, the king still sends someone over first, just listen to what the general said, just a demon should be easy to take. Dihuang Pill's words were obviously digging a pit for Yanagi Shibei, and it forced him to jump in. The daimyo said to the Ten Guards: "Then there is General Lao, go and settle the demons." You must know that there is a traitor in your family who is going to punish the Nine Clans, and if I can save the lives of your whole family, you should know how to repay your kindness. ”

Shibei was indignant in his heart, but he couldn't show it in front of the Daimyo, otherwise it would seem that he would disobey the Daimyo's orders, and his rebellious intentions would be further confirmed. Jubei could only agree to the daimyo's request, and went down the attic to the shogun's palace, calling out his six sons and one daughter who were in the mansion.

Jubei had a total of ten children, of which the fifth son died young, and the third son died in battle, and now Yagyu Juro has become a traitor again, and in his eyes there are only seven children in the family. Yagyu Juro is the tenth in the family, so he is called Juro, and his older brothers and sisters are the eldest brother Yanagi Taro, the second brother Yanagi Jiro, the fourth brother Yanagi Saemon, the sixth brother Yanagi Musashi, the seventh brother Yanagi Danzo, the eighth brother Yanagi Tenzo, and the ninth is the only daughter Yanagi Otome. Seven people lined up in front of the Ten Soldiers, each of them was a samurai, and it would be considered a shame to not know swordsmanship as a descendant of a samurai. They are also regarded as the strongest combat strength of the Lai country, as the battle flag of the Lai country on the bright side, although they have not started wars with other countries, but they have not pulled down their daily cultivation.

"You all listen, last night it was found out that a demon had landed on the territory of my Lai Kingdom, and now he is in Qujiang City, holding an entire town hostage. The Daimyo attaches great importance to this matter, although at present it is only known that there is only one demon clan, but it is not excluded that there are other demons who have already mixed in here, so you have to represent the Daimyo and go to Qujiang to destroy the demons. Another point, that traitor Yagyu Juro also returned to Rai Country. ”

As soon as they heard Yanagi's name, the seven children had various expressions on their faces, and the six brothers were all indignant, only Otome couldn't help but blurt out, "Is my brother back too, how are the others?"

Hearing that his daughter cared so much about the traitor, Shibei looked angry: "Shut up! How many times have I told you, he is not my son, nor is he your brother. He, a traitor, has nothing to do with our Yanagi family. And he has already fallen into the hands of the Koga faction, it is better than falling to me, the Koga faction has always been our opponent, if it weren't for him to capture Yagyu Juro and the family of the demon clan to let the daimyo spread his anger on me, there would be nothing to do with you today. Don't mention him to me again. ”

Otome was taught a lesson by her father, so she had to bow her head helplessly. My father is already in his sixties, and he still has to crawl in the whirlpool of the imperial court, beware of open guns and hidden arrows. When Otome heard that Yagyu was a traitor, she wouldn't believe it, because she didn't see the facts, in other words, she didn't even go out to this island. It's like a besieged city, where everyone is trapped, not knowing what the situation is like outside, but constantly exaggerating the sinister world outside the walls. At that time, the daimyo was attacked in the kingdom of Qi and retreated to the country of Lai, and Otome also learned from the people who came back that her brother was not dead. At that time, there was a trace of envy in her heart, because she really wanted to go out and take a look, but the fog that made people have no return, and her strict father, she didn't have that opportunity at all. No one will care what they really want, as a general's child, everything has been arranged from birth, and they practice swords in the martial arts and dojo every day in a step-by-step manner, there is no private space, and they are not allowed to have hobbies. Living like this, it's really better to break through, at least you are still like a person, with a direction and a goal. And in this huge courtyard, they are nothing more than marionettes of the daimyo, who make fun of the daimyo, when needed.

Under the orders of the Ten Guards, the seven samurai of the Yanagi family rode on horseback and marched towards the Qujiang River without a single soldier. And not long after Yagyu Shibei left, Rehmannia Maru was still on the tenth floor of the castle tower, with the daimyo.

"My lord, it's time to pay tribute to the gods again. ”

"Oh, it's so soon, I almost forgot about it. ”

"My lord, I have been ready for a long time, there are seventy-seven and forty-nine women on the side of the sea god, and ninety-nine eighty-one boys and girls on the side of the mountain god. If we want to be blessed by the gods, the tribute must still be delivered on time, otherwise the gods will be angry, and if we lose our protection, then our stability in the past hundred years will be burned. ”

"Okay, I know, according to the custom, you still have to face it yourself, then it's all up to you. You're getting more and more satisfying for me to do things. The daimyo smiled at Rehmannia Pill and walked back behind the screen, but he didn't notice that the moment he turned around, Rehmannia Pill changed from a flattering expression to a sinister face in an instant.

In the underground cell, Ah Zi is teaching Fu Qinggu how to use the Ring to open the Chaos Rift. But Fu Qinggu is really a person who doesn't know anything about cultivation, she didn't understand every word A Zi said, just like listening to the book of heaven, what valves, meridians, natural qi and chaos, as a rural woman, how could she understand. But she still gritted her teeth and kept trying, but to no avail. Finally she sat down on the ground sweating profusely and tired.

"This is also too difficult, according to what you said, I don't even have the strength to enter the Holy One, how can I open the spell of the Haotian realm of Chaos. Fu Qinggu said breathlessly.

"In fact, even the Haotian realm can't open the chaos rift, the chaos technique is the power of the gods, and only the gods and the descendants of the gods can use it. ”

"Then you still let me learn! Isn't that a waste of effort?"

"It's not like that, you have the aura left by the previous master in your body, as long as you can refine this aura from your body, you can open the chaos rift and let him sense us. ”

"The qi he left in my body? when, how did I not know. ”

"Actually, that is, something in the body of the previous owner, such as when he was in the cave room, he should have something left in your body. Speaking of this, Fu Qinggu blushed for a while, ashamed, and said such an unspeakable thing as if nothing happened. But in this way, she did have a hot breath in her body, but how to find the qi he left in her body was too difficult.

"Master, don't worry, only by being calm can you have smooth qi pulses, you have to use your heart, imagine yourself as a tree, not moving there for hundreds of years, or think of yourself as a stone, although they are not living creatures, but they are all members of nature, and they all have qi in them. You have to think about what your previous owner looked like, even though he is not with you, but feel that he is right next to you. Fu Qinggu listened to Ah Zi's words and slowly closed his eyes. She didn't move, no longer breathing, only thinking about what had happened since she met Yan Che. Just when Fu Qinggu was concentrating, Ah Zi saw the magic ring in Fu Qinggu's hand, and the stars in the gem were spinning at high speed, indicating that she had found Yan Che's breath and transported it to the magic ring.

"Very good master! You've found the qi of your previous master, and now you have to use it as your own tool, imagining it as a door so that the chaos rift can be opened. ”

Fu Qinggu's eyes were still closed, trying to open the chaos. Suddenly, Ah Zi noticed that there was a purple aura coming out of the ring on Fu Qinggu's hand, and the invisible qi slowly began to materialize, tearing open the space and opening the crack. Ah Zi took a few steps back, condensing a large amount of purple qi in front of Fu Qinggu, the purple qi was constantly rotating, getting thicker and thicker, and in the middle of the thick purple qi, a crack appeared. Ah Zi's face was very excited, Fu Qinggu finally cast the Chaos Technique, and then as long as this crack was opened, once the crack was opened, Yan Che on the other side could sense it at the ends of the earth. Just when Fu Qinggu was about to open the crack, the sound of walking came from outside the iron door, at this moment Fu Qinggu closed his eyes tightly, concentrated, and didn't notice that someone was coming, and in a hurry, Ah Zi could only interrupt the spell and return to the magic ring. Fu Qinggu, who was still imagining opening the crack, suddenly felt that she had no strength, and when she opened her eyes, she was still in the cell, and Ah Zi didn't know where to go. She glanced at the ring in her hand, there was no light, and she was about to call for Azi when a ninja came and opened the door.

"Come with me, people from the sea, the daimyo wants to see you. The ninja who opened the door said.

Fu Qinggu was very helpless at this time, if only he had opened the crack earlier, he was taken away by the enemy now, and he didn't know if he would have come back. Yan Che, Yan Che, you just watched your wife in danger?

Of course not!

Yan Che, who was far away in Qujiang, was like a thunderbolt, standing up from the ground from a sitting state, and then flew into the air. That's right, although it was only for a moment, but he did sense it, it was the chaotic crack opened by his magic ring, and the magic weapon was not something that ordinary people could use, only Fu Qinggu, which meant that Fu Qinggu was still alive. A long-lost smile appeared on his face, and he immediately called out to the shark who was controlling the tsunami: "I have sensed their location, I am ready to save them, you stay and continue to watch this city." ”

"It's too dangerous for you to go alone, young master, let me go with me. ”

"No, they are holding my wife and partner hostage, and I am going to take his people hostage, this is a bargaining chip. I want to see if the king of this country dares to exchange the lives of a few thousand for the lives of three. After saying that, Yan Che squatted down slightly, jumped out of the wall of fire, and hurried to the place where the Chaos Crack had just appeared.

On the other side, the seven children of Yagyu Jubei were hurrying in the opposite direction from Yan Che. They galloped along the road on horseback, and teased each other on the way: "Big brother, do you think that just one demon is worth the seven of us to go out together? And that traitor of Juro, I can't hold my head up in front of the other samurai, I really want to teach him a lesson myself, but it's a pity that he is in the hands of the Koga faction." ”

Yanagi Taro replied with a blank face: "Don't say useless words, if you want to win the trust of the daimyo now, you must do everything well." Just as the group was running for only a dozen miles, they encountered a post station running errands on the way. This post station errand saw General Yagyu's family and stopped them.

"You errand runner, dare to block the way of our Yanagi family, don't you want to die?" Yanagi Danzo said.

"Are you from Shogun Yagyu's family? The villain ran out of Qujiang. ”

"Are you from Qujiang? tell me what is the situation over there, is it really a demon who controls a city?"

"No, the other party is pretending to be only one person, but there are many others. They deliberately harbored the entire town hostage in Qujiang, and sent a force to Kyoto with the intention of murdering the daimyo. ”

"Sure enough, this demon is just playing tricks on the devil and trying to divert Kyoto's strongest combat power from the mountain?" said Danzo.

"Brother, you underestimate your father too much, none of the seven of us are my father's opponents, he is the strongest warrior in the Lai Kingdom. He was more than enough to defend Kyoto alone, but we couldn't leave that force alone. Musashi, Danzo, Tenzo, the three of you go to deal with that army. "The eldest brother of the Yanagi family commanded the three younger brothers to intercept the army, and as soon as he heard that three of them were going to stop the enemy, he immediately petitioned to lead the way, saying that he knew the enemy's movements. Yanagi Taro also fully believed in this errand, and after instructing his three younger brothers, the soldiers were divided into two ways. The sixth, seventh, and eighth children followed and went in the other direction, while the eldest brother, the second brother, the fourth brother, and the otome continued to rush to Qujiang.

The front of the four people is unknown, and the three people are the point of no return.

The errand runner led the way ahead, and led the three men into a wooded road, which was uneven and the horses could not run fast.

"Hey, what kind of road are you leading, the horses can't walk here at all, how can you catch up with the Majin's troops?" said Danzang impatiently.

At this time, the errand stopped, standing still in place, and Tuan Zang was even more strange: "Why did you stop again? What the hell are you kid doing?"

"Were you asking me what kind of road this is?" said the errand runner without looking back, turning his back to the three of them.

"You're half a beat slow, that's the first question I asked you. ”

"Then I can tell you now," the errand turned, ripping off his face to reveal another face, "this is where you are buried." ”

The three members of the Yanagi family looked surprised: "It's you! We were fooled!" At this time, two more people jumped down from the tree, although their faces were covered, but the Yanagi family was very familiar with them.

Koga ninjas!
