The Choshu Domain, also known as the Mori Domain, was one of the major feudal clans in southwestern Japan. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info After the Black Ship Incident, Yoshida Shoin, a famous scholar in Fannai, put forward the "Theory of One King and All People", advocating the equality of all people under the emperor, reprimanding the military policy strategy of the Tokugawa shogunate, and demanding that real power be attributed to the emperor. At this point, the slogan of respecting the king was raised, and the entire Choshu domain threw themselves into the flesh and blood torrent of the revolution with this will.

However, the so-called long nights and many dreams, the revolution cannot be successful in a day. As time passed, even the Chōshū Domain became divided and became conservative and righteous.

Conservatives tend to favor the shogunate.

The justice-getters, on the other hand, insisted on the return of power to the emperor.

Originally, the Choshu clan was ruled by the righteous faction, but in the Ikedaya incident, many of the faction's bigwigs were killed, and the subsequent change of the forbidden gate was beaten to the ground by the shogunate. This is not over, and when retreating, he set fire to block the enemy in anger and anger, causing a fire in Kyoto, and countless civilians were killed and injured as a result! These three incidents are interlocking, like Cheng biting Jin's three-plate axe, and the righteous faction who directly hit him is confused. The great cause of the Restoration, which was still in full swing and in full swing, was also cut in half.

The conservatives seized the opportunity to seize power in one fell swoop, and before the shogunate could make a move, the Choshu domain itself broke out first.

Fortunately, the high-level is quite restrained, and the dead are all small fish and shrimp. In general, the justices can be said to have returned to the pre-liberation period overnight, hiding, fleeing, arresting, and dying, which is simply not too miserable.

So at the weekly Fannai meeting, Fukuhara Echigo, who is one of the righteous bigwigs and is in the position of the elder of the family, did not appear.

Escape?

No way!

No matter how urgent the purge movement is, it is impossible to move the old man.

This is the default for all higher-ups.

After all, no one knows when they will be caught by someone for what, the so-called being a man and leaving a line, and seeing each other in the future.

It's probably the same as the underworld's "hatred is not as good as family".

It can be seen that the so-called political groups are somewhat similar to the underworld.

So, what about the Fukuhara Echigo people?

The lord of the domain, Mori's face, was unhappy, and he said coldly: "Send someone to Fukuhara Mansion, whether he is sick or injured, or dead, carry his body to me!"

Pretending to be sick can be described as the specialty of these big shots.

Several bigwigs of the conservative faction were disdainful in their hearts, they had already lost their position, and they were still playing such a little trick in front of the feudal lord, and they were really dizzy.

The only two remaining members of the righteous faction did not dare to speak up when they saw that the boss was not there.

The subordinates ran very fast, and after about a cup of tea, they sent back a message: "Fukuhara Echigo has disappeared two days ago!"

What the?

Everyone was stunned.

Before the Maori clan could speak, the justices insisted that Fukuhara Echigo would definitely not play missing, and that the conservatives must have secretly poisoned him.

As soon as these words came out, the conservatives exploded, and immediately replied that they would not "break the rules", and it must be some trick to hide Fukuhara Echigo.

All of a sudden, the two sides argued endlessly, shouting and swearing, and the whole meeting was as noisy as a vegetable market.

"That's enough!" the lord of the domain, the Mori clan, snorted, and said with a dark face: "It's really unorthodox, the shogunate has begun to form an army to crusade against the domain, and you still have the leisure to fight, and when the knife is on your neck, I think any of you will dare to make a noise?"

Seeing that the clan was angry, the two factions also took their voices, lowered their heads and obediently stopped talking.

It seems that his majesty is still very strong, Maori nodded smugly: "I'll deal with Fukuhara's affairs, Udo Blade Guard, you heard it, I'll leave it to you." ”

A figure came out of the shadows in the corner, a tall and thin man, his eyes were cold, his body was full of blood, and he exuded an aura that no one should enter. As soon as he appeared, the temperature of the entire room seemed to drop by a few degrees.

An executioner who has killed countless people!

Everyone agrees.

Udo Blade Guard's voice was hoarse, and he nodded: "Understood, look for Fukuhara Echigo and bring him back, right?"

"Yes!"

He sneered: "The task of finding people is really rare...... So, if someone really captures me and I kill the kidnapper, it should be fine, right?"

Maori waved his hand and said impatiently: "Just bring Fukuhara Echigo back, and you can kill the rest!"

"Ha, that's good!"

With a somber laugh, his figure receded into the shadows.

The temperature in the room has returned.

At some point, the Udo Bladeguard had left.

"What an uncomfortable guy. An old man rubbed his arm and said worriedly, "Will he be able to find Fukuhara?"

"Don't worry. Mori replied, "Udo Blade Guard is the descendant of Nikaido Heifu, he is not just a swordsman, or rather, swordsmanship is his weakest ability!"

"Okay, let's put aside the matter of Fukuhara for the time being, let's study how to deal with the shogunate's crusade, although I don't want to admit it, but at this stage, the Choshu domain is not the opponent of the shogunate's army. If you don't want to spend the rest of your life in prison, I advise you to put your mind to this aspect!"

"Yes!"

The meeting continued in the absence of one person.

The Udo Blade Guard came out of the conference room and said to himself, "So, where do you start?"

"Why, is there anything else that makes you feel overwhelmed too?" a man leaned against the wall, slender with a short spear stuck in his side, and strangely enough, his eyes were kept closed.

The Udo Blade Guard glanced at him: "No way, I'm good at killing people instead of looking for people, so it's not surprising that I don't know what to do." It's you, why are you here, I remember you went on a mission. ”

"Ah, that's good. But if I can be here, doesn't that mean the mission is over?" said the man with closed eyes a little smugly, "The village that rebelled against the clan has completely disappeared. There were 149 people in the whole village, and the killing was quite painful. ”

The Udo Bladeguard did not respond.

The man with closed eyes didn't mind either, and continued, "Speaking of which, if I'm not mistaken, I have killed more than you again, right?"

The Udo Blade Guard said disdainfully, "It's okay, next time I'll be in the lead." ”

"Hehehe. The man with closed eyes chuckled a few times: "Don't be angry, I don't mean to show off." It's been a long time since you've been chasing me, and it's really boring to always win or lose. ”

"So what? Why don't you just fight!"

"Nikaido is famous. I just don't know who is better than my heart?" The man with closed eyes showed a bit of anticipation, but quickly disappeared: "It's just a pity that the lord of the feudal domain has always forbidden unnecessary private fights. ”

The Udo Blade Guard was a little impatient: "Uonuma Yusui, you have been rambling for a long time, what are you going to say?"

The closed-eyed man known as Uonuma Usui replied, "You and I both kill people for a living, and we are good at killing people, so we should just choose a project that you and I are not good at and give it a try." ”

"You mean ......?"

Uonuma Yushui nodded and said, "Yes, it's not what you and I often do to find people, why don't you just use this as a topic, okay?"

"Interesting!" Utang Blade Guard sneered, "What about the rules?"

"Bring back the target, ten!" Uonuma Umizu replied, "But if the target is kidnapped, kill a kidnapper, two more points!"

"Hmph, if you are really kidnapped, won't it become a killing contest again?"

Uonuma Yushui smiled: "Don't worry, if you are really kidnapped, there will not be too many people involved." In my experience, there are about five or six people, not more than ten. ”

"In other words, even if you can't save people, can you win by killing more people?"

"Exactly, how, accept?"

"What a crude rule. The Udo Blade guard first mocked, then nodded and said, "But I like it!"

Uonuma Umizu pulled out a short spear stuck in the ground, with a triangular spear head at one end and a round ball at the other.

He looked at the Udo Bladeguard for a moment, then said, "Then, the game begins!"

As soon as the words fell, the two of them flew out like arrows from the string, and the speed was staggering.

And their target is walking in the dense mountains and forests at the moment......
