Kamiizumi Nobuyuki's body began to tremble slightly, although this Yokoji Shinji was covered in blood, and his appearance was not good, but following the obscene and timid appearance that began last night, it was already like two people, and even the bursts of murderous aura emanating from him could make Kamiizumi Shinyuki, who was ten feet away, feel it clearly.

Nobuyuki Kamiizumi's eyes fell on the knife of "Yokoji Shinji", and his pupils began to shrink sharply, because he had already recognized it, the knife that exuded a yin and evil aura and a cold chill, and the blood on the body of the knife was rapidly disappearing, as if the knife that was devoured alive by some invisible evil spirit was the legendary demon knife Muramasa.

"Yokoji Shinji" slowly raised his head, his hand slowly wiped his face, only a slight lift, the blood-dripping face fell from his hand, revealing a bearded, murderous face, his facial features are quite upright, but there is a long scar extending from the right corner of the forehead to the left lip. His expression was calm, without the ferocity of ordinary widows, with some sideburns between his cheeks, and only some mustaches on his chin, which was as hard as a rock, and his face was full of vicissitudes. Isn't it the first swordsman in the East, Yuba Yanagi?

Nobuyuki Kamiizumi was almost so frightened that he was about to pee out, he took two steps back, almost fell to the ground, and finally stood up, his voice trembling: "You, why are you here?"

A flame of revenge flashed in Yanagi Xiongba's eyes: "Shangquan dog thief, I'm here today to seek justice for Yukiko, for Chiju Maru and Ogimaru, and for the seventeen people who died under your knife in Yanagimon!"

After saying this, a burst of blue battle aura rose up and down the body of Yanagi Xiongba, and the Muramasa Demon Knife also let out a strange roar, and the human sword was one, and it pounced fiercely towards Kamiizumi Nobuyuki!

On the mountain bags on both sides of Shangfeng Ridge, a temporary camp tent was set up on the bare, yellow earth, the tent door was wide open, Qi Jiguang sat on a horse with a golden knife, listening to the results reported by the marching commander Shi.

"In this battle, our army won a great victory, killing 3,641 enemy heads, capturing 9,422 enemy troops, and the enemy leaders Kogoro, Hachiheita, and Gensuke and the following 23 people were captured, and only the enemy chief Nobuyuki Kamizumi escaped from the valley and his whereabouts are unknown. And the more than 2,000 people who were led away by the enemy last night also escaped this time, and now they are afraid that they have made a big circle and run away from the sea. Our army suffered slight losses, 17 killed and 36 wounded, and General Celestial Wolf lost 8 killed and 13 wounded."

Qi Jiguang nodded with satisfaction and said: "General Tianluo went from Haiyan to Xinhe, to Huajie, to Taizhou, and finally to this Xinfengling, and then to fight for hundreds of miles, and wiped out tens of thousands of thieves along the way.

Li Cangxing smiled and shook his head: "General Qi, I don't think it's necessary, our Black Dragon Society just wants to use this battle to win the southeast and make a name for itself, you also know it. As for whether or not they get military merits, it doesn't really matter, my brothers are also hot-blooded charlatans, and they may not be able to take a fancy to the set of rewards from the imperial court."

Qi Jiguang waved his hand, signaling that Li Changshi and several personal soldiers around him all retreated, and only Li Cangxing and Qi Jiguang were left in the tent, Qi Jiguang sighed softly: "The emperor is not a hungry soldier, Tianluo, although you are chivalrous first, it is impossible to fight this battle in vain, let's say, what you want, within the scope of your ability, I will agree."

Li Cangxing nodded: "What we want is to be able to open a sect in this Zhejiang and Fujian area, and attract the heroes and heroes of the world to join, my enemy is the Demon Sect, and Yan Shifan behind them, to defeat the Demon Sect, a huge Jianghu organization, it is definitely not possible to go it alone like I used to, I must also establish a strong organization to fight against it, General Qi, now you are a general in Taizhou, this battle has cleared the Japanese in Zhejiang, and promoted to the general army of Zhejiang, presumably just around the corner, the military power of a province in Zhejiang, It's all in your hands, so I hope you will support my founding efforts."

Qi Jiguang laughed: "What's so difficult about this, this time you are in the army as an official and a soldier, and you have made great contributions, I can let you belong to my Qi family's army, give you a guerrilla, or even a military position as a general, and then set aside a place, such as this Taizhou City as your jurisdiction, you can recruit soldiers by yourself, of course, you want to recruit the heroes of the rivers and lakes, just join in the name of the soldiers."

Li Cangxing glanced at Qi Jiguang and said: "General Qi, you also know very well that I am going to fight with Yan Shifan in the future, and it is likely to be the result of endless death, if you stand on my side like this, it is possible that Yan Thief will hold a grudge against you, and even take revenge on you, can you think about this result?"

Qi Jiguang's expression became extremely strict, and he said loudly: "Heavenly wolf, although Qi is a martial artist, he also knows the word loyalty, Yan thief father and son are disaster to the court and frame Zhongliang, this is known to everyone in the world, and Qi has been suppressing the Japanese in Zhejiang for many years, and he knows that without the help of the traitor Yan Shifan, the Japanese will never make such a big noise, if the Yan thief is not eliminated, then there will never be a calm time in the sea frontier, even if we kill more Japanese criminals, they will resurrect, so I am firmly on your side in this matter, If the thief wants to investigate, then what is the matter, I will bear it with you."

Li Cangxing's heart was moved, and he nodded seriously: "General Gaoyi, the heavenly wolf admires it so much." On that day, Leng Tianxiong and I reached an agreement on a three-year truce, during which I would do my best to develop my own forces. In the hope that when the time comes, I can confront the Demon Cult head-on. ”

Qi Jiguang's brows furrowed: "Heavenly wolf, although I don't know much about the management of the Jianghu sect, I have also heard that if you want to start a sect, the cost is not a few, the demon sect has tens of thousands of henchmen, and the total number of scattered people and evil demons on the rivers and lakes is more than 100,000, and it is well organized." It can be seen from this battle of Taizhou that Leng Tianxiong's hundreds of subordinates are compared to the tens of thousands of Japanese robbers of Shangquan Xinyuki. are more difficult to deal with. If you want to train and maintain enough elite to fight against, you're afraid that it will cost a lot of money. Relying only on the salary of the imperial court. How? ”

Li Cangxing smiled slightly: "General Qi, I won't hide it from you, after defeating the Japanese invaders, I am going to provide escort services for the overseas trade of the Ming Dynasty, and take some expenses from it as funds for the development and maintenance of the sect." The maritime trade of the Ming Dynasty can be described as a great profit. In the past, whether it was Wang Zhi or Yan Shifan. all relied on this to make a fortune. So we only need to take a part of the profit. It is enough to maintain the operation of tens of thousands of sects. ”

Qi Jiguang's face changed slightly: "Do you want to take a tax on overseas trade?" ”

Li Cangxing nodded: "That's right, after the Japanese are pacified, the escort of this merchant ship will obviously be handed over to the garrisons of Zhejiang and Fujian provinces to perform. Trade after arriving in Luzon. Isn't it reasonable to take a certain amount of remuneration from it? The nine sides of the Ming Dynasty are all this kind of system, as long as they can maintain peace, then the local generals are allowed to share part of the profits, and the current Liaodong general Li Chengliang can even share the land obtained after the victory to his own family, and the imperial court as long as Liaodong is not chaotic. Just acquiescing to his behavior, you have eliminated the Japanese in Zhejiang this time. If you can take advantage of the victory to pursue, and then eliminate the Japanese in Fujian, and the southeast is completely pacified, then you will be the first general in the southeast, and at that time, as long as you pay the imperial court the annual taxes, a large amount of trade silver taels, can be distributed by you. ”

Qi Jiguang shook his head: "No, Heavenly Wolf, you also know that the emperor is extremely suspicious, he has invested so much money here in the southeast over the years, once the sea is calm, he will definitely try his best to recover his investment, how can he let me share his money here?" Besides, as a military general, intercepting his money here is suspected of misdeeds, Sky Wolf, you'd better think twice about it. ”

Li Cangxing smiled slightly: "General Qi, this time with the end of our peaceful war, not only is Haijiang calm, but Governor Hu is afraid that he will also leave office, and who do you think will be the person who will take over?" ”

Qi Jiguang's eyes lit up: "Presumably, nine times out of ten, it will be the current governor of Zhejiang, Lord Tan Lun Tan." ”

Li Cangxing nodded: "I think so too, Lord Tan is the rising star of the Qing School, Xu Ge's protégé, like Zhang Juzheng Zhang, represents the future of the Qing School, Yan Shifan is too greedy, and where the strict party controls zhì, the tax of ten taels of silver can be collected at most one or two taels, so the emperor will definitely use the ministers of the Qing School to control here, and Tan Lun, as the governor of Zhejiang now, is very familiar with the affairs of the southeast, so he will naturally be the most suitable candidate." ”

Qi Jiguang didn't speak, stood up and paced a few steps before nodding: "If Lord Tan is in charge of Zhejiang, it will indeed be much smoother, Tianluo, are you sure?" ”

Li Cangxing said with a straight face: "It's hard to say now, Tan Lun and Zhang Juzheng are both rising stars of the Qing School, General Qi, since you have taken the boat of Lord Zhang, then Tan Lun and your fate is to share weal and woe, the better you fight in Zhejiang, the more Tan Lun's capital will only be sufficient, this is a complementary thing." ”

Qi Jiguang sighed softly: "It's just that this time the fly in the ointment is that Nobuyuki Shangquan escaped, if there is this great merit in capturing the head of the thief, it will naturally be very beneficial to Lord Zhang and Lord Tan." Heavenly wolf, with your martial arts and arrangement, how could you let Kamizumi Nobuyuki escape, I still don't believe it. ”

Li Cangxing smiled slightly and lowered his voice: "General Qi, Shangquan Nobuyuki didn't run at all, and he won it for me." ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Qi Jiguang's eyes: "What? You've already taken down Nobuyuki Ueizumi? Then why don't you sue Li Changshi? ”

Li Cangxing said softly: "General Qi, there are many eyes and ears in the army, if Yan Shifan or Governor Hu knows that Shangquan Xinzhi has fallen into your hands, they will definitely come to ask for it, will you give it or not?" ”

Qi Jiguang gritted his teeth: "For Yan Shifan, naturally I can't give it, if it's Governor Hu, I have no reason not to hand it over." ”

Li Cangxing nodded: "That's it, if you don't give it to Yan Shifan, you will offend him directly, we analyzed it last night, now Lord Zhang may not be able to fight Yan Shifan head-on for you, and Governor Hu, handing over someone to him is actually useless, and it can't change his fate." Therefore, for the Izumi Shinyuki, he can only be caught secretly. ”

Qi Jiguang said with a smile: "Where is the person who believes in Shangquan now?" ”

Li Cangxing said: "I still have to grieve General Qi, change into the clothes and armor of a small soldier, and come with me." ”

After a pillar of incense, Qi Jiguang, who was dressed as a small soldier, and Li Cangxing, who was also dressed as an ordinary soldier. Walked to a pine forest fifteen miles north of Shangfeng Ridge, the forest was quiet, and there was not even the sound of birds. There is an indescribable heaviness.

Qi Jiguang smiled slightly: "Sky wolf, there are no birds in the trees in the forest, there are obviously ambushes, but this frame is too obvious." ”

Li Cangxing nodded: "It's me who is careless, but it's difficult for the men in the rivers and lakes to know this." As he spoke, pursing his lips, he began to call three cuckoo calls.

Lin Zhong also responded to the four cries of the toad. Li Cangxing smiled: "One qiē is normal. General Qi, please. ”

The two entered the dense forest side by side and walked dozens of steps. Suddenly, he found that on a big pine tree in front of him, Nobuchi Kamizumi was wearing red armor, tied to the body of the tree where the two of them were hugging, and he was depressed. A rag was gagged in his mouth. More than ten wounds on his body were wrapped in strips of cloth, and blood was oozing from time to time, and he raised his head excitedly when he heard the sound of footsteps

, but as soon as he saw Li Cangxing and Qi Jiguang, his face immediately turned like ashes and lowered his head.

Yanagi Yuba was holding the Muramasa demon knife in his arms, and his skyrocketing ponytail was tied behind his head. After seeing Li Cangxing and Qi Jiguang, he nodded.

When Qi Jiguang saw Liu Sheng at first glance. His face changed slightly, and his hand unconsciously pressed on the handle of his knife, Li Cangxing hurriedly said: "General Qi, please don't misunderstand, this Yanagi Xiongba is my friend of life and death, although he is an Oriental, but a chivalrous man, he is by no means a widow." ”

Qi Jiguang's eyes lit up: "Liu Sheng Xiongba? Could it be the legendary No. 1 swordsman in the East? ”

Yanagi Xiongba shook his head: "General Qi is too exalted to me, the current Yanagi Xiongba is just a lonely ghost left in the world, and he wants to avenge his family." ”

Qi Jiguang said suspiciously: "Heavenly wolf, what's going on?" ”

Li Cangxing sighed: "Because Liu Sheng was friendly with me, he offended this Shangquan Nobuyuki in his early years, so Yan Shifan colluded with Shangquan Xinzhi, and took advantage of his absence to send killers to raid Liu Sheng's residence, and his wife, children, and family members were all killed. ”

Qi Jiguang said hatefully: "How can these beasts who have lost all their wolf hands do it!" ”

Li Cang walked forward and saluted solemnly to Liu Sheng: "Liu Sheng, I really want to thank you, in the face of such a sea of blood and hatred, you can still control your feelings and save your life." ”

A trace of tears flashed in Yanagi Xiongba's eyes, and it was fleeting: "Although it was this Shangquan Xinzhi who killed my whole family, but the real mastermind was that Yan Shifan, you said that leaving the life of Shangquan Xinzhi can be used to avenge Yan Shifan, so I believe you, and I left the dog life of Shangquan Xinyuki." If there's anything you want to ask, just ask, I'll go and take the wind. After Liu Sheng Xiongba finished speaking, he nodded to Qi Jiguang and strode out.

Li Cangxing nodded, and pulled out the rag from Kamiizumi Nobuyuki's mouth, and Kamiizumi Shinyi opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, panting greedily.

Li Cangxing sneered: "Nobuyuki Kamizumi, do you know who I am? ”

Nobuyuki Kamizumi gritted his teeth and said: "You, you are the brocade-clothed wolf, I, I know you, you must be wearing a human skin mask, just like that Yanagi Xiongba, you also taught." ”

Li Cangxing laughed: "Nobuyuki Izumi, do you know why you lost this time?" It is because all your plans and movements have been mastered by Liu Sheng, he changed his disguise three months ago and blended into your camp, and the Yokoji Jinji who changed his disguise after killing him is Mao Haifeng's personal guard, so all your battle plans, I am clear here. ”

Kamiizumi Nobuyuki sighed: "It's all to blame for our subordinates being too many and too miscellaneous, allowing you to take advantage of the loophole, Heavenly Wolf, until now, if you want to kill or kill you, if you want me to betray Xiaoge Lao, it is wishful thinking!" ”

Li Cangxing shook his head: "Nobuyuki Shangquan, you shameless thing is talking about loyalty and righteousness with me here now, it's really a big joke." Back then, you betrayed Wang Zhi and threw yourself to Yan Shifan, wasn't it because his bid was higher? Now that your life is in our hands, why don't you cooperate with us? ”

Kamiizumi Nobuyuki gritted his teeth: "I'm not a three-year-old child, let you coax me like this, just shoot me for the blood sea of that Yanagi Xiongba, he won't let me go, even if I recruit it, I will die in the end, my family is taking care of Xiaoge Lao, if I don't betray him, I will change my family's peace." ”

Li Cangxing laughed: "Shangquan Xinzhi, you are really incorrigibly stupid, Yan Shifan cooperated with you, or used you, because you were useful to him, if you died, would there be any need for your family members to support him?" ”

The muscles on Nobuyuki Kamiizumi's face began to distort, jumped twice, and said, "Even if it is death, what is the difference between dying in your hands and dying in the hands of Koge Lao?" ”

Li Cangxing shook his head: "I personally don't have any big enmity with you, Liu Sheng has a grudge against you, but his primary enemy is Yan Shifan, before killing Yan Shifan, he won't touch you, maybe after his big revenge is avenged, he will be in a good mood, and he will spare your life." So we need you to live well, and one day, help us testify against Yan Shifan. ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Nobuyuki Kamiizumi's eyes: "You guys, can you really spare my life?" ”

Li Cangxing smiled slightly: "Yes, but before that, you have to tell me first, where is the treasure you have looted and looted over the years." (To be continued......)
