Udo Bladeguard and Uonuma Usui were lucky that at least their bodies weren't eaten by the beasts, but were picked up by the people who came after. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The face of the lord of the Choshu Domain, the Mori clan, was ugly, and he praised Haikou in front of his subordinates, but he was slapped in the face in a few minutes, and his life was unsatisfactory, which is really eight or nine times out of ten.

What heart is invincible in the world, it's just a waste!

Maori immediately began to shake the pot, and it was not me who was at fault, but incompetent men.

Without even thinking about it, excuses naturally arise in the mind, which is already instinctive.

The big man who is "skilled in business"!

He glanced at the two corpses that were still on the ground, and his face was unhappy: "Since he was killed, then Fukuhara Echigo should really be kidnapped!" He showed his insight, and then said unhappily: "Really, although the Choshu Domain is in an eventful season, not everyone can go wild! Everyone, can you tell which school the murderer is?"

The so-called genres all have their usual methods, and the famous moves can also produce unusual wounds, which is just to speculate on the approximate identity of the murderer.

One of them walked out, examined the bodies of the two men, and looked surprised: "The fatal wounds are all throats, and there is no sign of resistance! No, it should be said that the two of them had no power to resist at that time." The wound on the side of the Pelican Blade Guard is very deep, and there are several broken ribs, so to be able to have such a powerful slash, is it a 'show of flow'?"

But another person stood up and objected: "The power of the manifestation stream is huge, but it is impossible to hurt the waist from the top to the bottom. You see that his double knives were also cut off together, he should have cut off the double knives first, and then cut his waist, and it was because of this that he was not cut off by the waist. It's not that I'm arrogant, I've also been immersed in swordsmanship for many years, and I've never seen such a powerful swordsmanship before!"

The previous man nodded, and his face was also solemn: "Yes, and although the wound on the Utang Blade Guard is terrible, it also makes sense, but the wound of Uonuma Yushui is weird!"

He picked up Uonuma Yusui's left arm, which was black and purple and swollen. He took out a short knife and slashed it at the other man's arm, revealing a bloody blur inside.

"Sure enough, it's exactly what I thought!" he nodded, "The flesh and bones and muscles have completely turned into powder and mixed together. And these shield fragments, the edges of which seem to be weathered mud and sand, can be ...... with a slight pinch."

As he spoke, he exerted force on his hand, and the shards of metal turned into powder like dead wood and floated down from his fingers.

"I can't imagine what kind of move can achieve such an effect!"

The hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone was silent and silent.

The atmosphere has become depressing!

"Ahem!" the Maori clan was the first to come back to his senses, and he coughed a few times, waking everyone up: "No matter what, the Choshu Domain is not something that can be slaughtered by anyone. If it gets out, and an old man is kidnapped in the territory, and we can't do anything about it, it will make the world laugh!"

Especially on the eve of the shogunate's crusade, it was like adding insult to injury.

In the face of foreign enemies, what they have to do is to unite people's hearts and make them die willingly. If this matter spreads, I am afraid that the morale that is not high in the first place will plummet!

"Everyone, is anyone willing to crusade against this thief and save Fukuhara Echigo?"

Maori asked majestically.

However, no one answered.

Everyone was looking at the sky or the ground, and then at the two corpses, as if they could study some kind of flower.

A bunch of bastards!

Maori scolded in his heart.

It's all cowards!

He continued to curse.

When there is a benefit, I grab my head, and if I want to contribute, I will pretend to shrink my head one by one, with such a group of retainers, I have simply poured mold for eight lifetimes!

can be scolded and scolded, and the matter still needs to be resolved.

He finally has some responsibility and courage.

Only a little bit, but it surpasses most of the people in power in this era.

That's why he wants to reform, he wants to change the country.

No matter what the starting point is or what the means are, but he is doing it little by little.

Alas!

He sighed in his heart and put more price on the table.

"If someone can save Fukuhara Echigo, I can open another place for the elder!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and everyone's faces were happy, then greed, and then they were shocked, and they turned into caution and cringe.

Seeing the emotional changes in his subordinates, the Maori clan naturally understood their psychological changes, and couldn't help but be furious: "Even so, don't you want to contribute to Fannai?"

The faces of everyone were ugly, and one of them stood up and said hesitantly: "The lord of the domain is angry, not because I don't want to, but because I can't do anything. Udo Blade Guard and Uonuma Yushui are already first-class swordsmen, and they have won your trust before, but they have still died at the hands of their opponents, and we are even less opponents than our diners!"

Maori was speechless, angry just now, but he didn't think about it. He has been secretly eyeliner in every move of his subordinates, and he knows exactly which diners and ronins he has taken in, and what his skills are. If you think about it carefully, even the people you sent out can't solve it, and they can't do it!

"Damn, when has the Choshu Domain fallen into such an embarrassment, if I have to strictly guard against the attack of the shogunate, I can't wait to send a regular army to pursue it in person!"

The so-called "Shobing Brigade" was the army within the Choshu Domain, which consisted of samurai and was the prototype of a professional army.

However, in order to prepare for the shogunate's crusade, the main army has been dispatched. If you withdraw your defense for the sake of a thief, you're really losing your sesame seeds and picking up watermelons.

What should I do?

Maori fell into deep thought.

But his words woke up one person!

The man came out of the crowd and said excitedly: "Domain Lord, if the regular army is not good, you can send the strange army team!"

"Odd Troop?"

Maori was stunned.

The so-called Odd Soldier Team, just listen to the name, you know that it is the opposite of the regular team.

It is a team formed by Shinsaku Takasugi.

Whether it is a farmer or a businessman, a monk or an entertainer, as long as he is willing to join, is willing to train seriously, and can follow the command.

Takasugi Shinsaku believed that the upper feudal lords only knew fine clothes and food, and had neither physical strength nor intelligence, so he personally formed this army.

I have to say that the training is also huge and large-scale, and it is indeed much stronger than the regular army.

It confirms that sentence, the master is in the people!

Now that Takasugi Shinsaku is in prison for some reason, the Odd Soldiers are indeed idle.

"But...... Are they willing to follow orders?" the Mori clan was a little worried, but those guys had always looked up to Takasugi as the leader.

"Don't worry. The man before swore and said, "Those untouchables joined the Wonder Soldiers just to make a living." To them, the king's reverence is not as important as the many slices of meat at dinner, as long as they are willing to give up some money, there will definitely be people willing to take orders! The Odd Soldiers now have a thousand people, and even if only half of them are ordered, there are five or six hundred. With so many people, even if the individual strength is not good, grinding can grind each other to death!"

The analysis is very reasonable, Maori was a little moved, but he was still a little hesitant: "But if the casualties are too serious, it is not easy to explain to Takasugi." He was in prison, but only to beat him, and if he came out, he ......"

"Don't worry, as long as Takasugi is compensated, he doesn't want to buy firearms from Westerners all the time, and seek funding from Fannai? After all, they're just pariahs, and if they want to solicit, they're everywhere!"

No one objected.

To everyone present, the civilians were like leeks, ready to cut a handful when needed, and in a few days, they would grow on their own.

The Maori clan nodded and gave an order: "Just do what you said, send out the surprise team to catch the kidnappers! I want others to know that even in adversity, my Choshu clan is not easy to mess with!"

"Yes!"
