As a hint of red appeared on the surface of the water, Yoko Shimazu was already in a sea of great joy.

In the haze, Yoko Shimazu seemed to see a figure flickering outside the window, and she wanted to make a warning, but an indescribable feeling of happiness surged over her, and she gradually fell into a coma.

The moment Yoko Shimazu closed her eyes, Lin Yiqing couldn't help but be startled when she saw the figure outside the window reflected in her eyes.

"My lord! Be careful! A ninja's voice was heard.

As soon as the ninja's words fell, a sharp arrow shot in through the window and shot straight at Yoko Shimazu's chest.

This is a steel arrow fired with a crossbow, but it seems to have been hit after being shot, originally shot at Yoko Shimazu's head, but instead shot at her chest, at this time she has fallen into a coma, and she can't dodge at all, at the last moment, Lin Yiqing suddenly stretched out his hand, held the shaft of the steel arrow like lightning, and copied the steel arrow in his hand.

The sharp tip of the arrow almost pierced Yoko Shimazu's chest, and the situation was extremely dangerous.

And at the moment when he held the steel arrow, a black shadow suddenly jumped up, raised the long knife with both hands, and slashed towards the back of Lin Yiqing's neck.

Lin Yiqing in the hot spring pool suddenly turned around, and the black shadow stepped on the right foot of the stone platform by the pool and slid away, and then there was a pain in the abdomen, and a sharp object directly penetrated the abdominal cavity.

The masked black-clad killer's eyes widened. In his eyes, no matter how good his martial arts and how strong his physical strength is, no matter how good his martial arts are, no matter how strong his physical strength is, it is impossible for him to react when he encounters an attack in the situation of male and female love. But it was this man who forcibly sent the arrow into his belly.

The black-clad killer's body shook. The long knife in his hand fell to the ground.

Lin Yiqing let go of Yoko Shimazu and stood up. Grab the black-clad killer by the collar. Expressionlessly, he sent the arrow into his belly again.

The black-clothed killer lay limp on Lin Yiqing's shoulder, his eyes rolled up, revealing a white color like a dead fish. Lin Yiqing ripped off his veil, revealing a long slender face, and the stunned expression on his face was solidifying little by little......

Lin Yiqing coldly held the arrow and stabbed the opponent in the abdomen again and again. Half of his body was stained red with blood, and the blood splattered into the bath, quickly drifting away. The original milky white soup gradually changed color.

Lin Yiqing repeated the stabbing action, ignoring the blood all over his body. When the other person's body was completely relaxed, he knew that the person was dead.

This is the first time Lin Yiqing has killed someone when she is in love with a beautiful woman. This time, Lin Yiqing found that when blood was splashed, he would be extremely excited, just like when he saw Yoko Shimazu's ryudan just now, he found that he had the potential to be a bloodthirsty maniac.

When he stabbed the arrow into the enemy's belly with his own hands, his heart was actually extremely calm. His fingers didn't tremble, his breathing didn't shorten, he just felt the blood-soaked shaft of the arrow slippery. Pinch with all your might. He could even calmly observe the expression on the other person's face, and see how the muscles on his face were twisted with horror.

In the process. Lin Yiqing even had the heart to think, "With so much blood flowing into the pool, Yoko should be shocked when she wakes up, right?" ”

The killer with the crossbow outside was still stunned, and the other killer had already stepped forward, he flipped his wrist and pulled out the long knife at his waist, and his eyes flashed fiercely outside the scarf.

Lin Yiqing left the feather arrow in the belly of the black-clothed killer, leaned over and grabbed the long knife on the ground. The enemy is extremely fast, and his figure flashes over a distance of five meters. Lin Yiqing raised his knife and slashed at it. He was sure that he could deal with this fierce fellow with his bare hands, not to mention that he had a knife in his hand now.

The opponent obviously has a lot of actual combat experience, but Lin Yiqing surpasses him several times, and he didn't use his full strength with this knife. The opponent's upper body shook slightly, and as soon as he avoided the blade, Lin Yiqing had already stepped in front of him, and then hooked his head and neck, and slammed his forehead on the opponent's head.

The other party felt as if he had been hit in the head by a hammer, and his skull was almost cracked, and he flew out obliquely. Lin Yiqing stepped forward like a shadow, and the long knife in his hand let out a sharp whistling sound, straight to the other party's throat.

A streak of blood splattered straight onto the wooden pillar, and the opponent's body fell heavily to the ground.

Lin Yiqing exhaled and retracted the knife, retreated into the bath, and protected Yoko Shimazu, who was lying unconscious by the pool.

"The subordinates are incompetent! Disturbed the lord! An anxious ninja's voice came from outside the house, followed by the sound of swords clashing, apparently in the midst of a fierce fight.

Another killer rushed in, this was a one-eyed strong man, Lin Yiqing was about to raise his knife to meet him, but he saw a ninja following behind him.

"If you disturb the lord's bath, your subordinates deserve death." The ninja said as he swung his sword and leapt at the one-eyed killer.

The one-eyed killer's skills are obviously extraordinary, and a long knife seems to come to life in his hand, like a living monster python, with accurate and ruthless knife skills. At this time, Lin Yiqing, as a bystander, was a little worried about that subordinate.

The killer shouted and slashed at the ninja's throat, who was in mid-air and saw as the enemy's long knife stabbed him in the throat. The back of his neck suddenly tightened, and his body was dragged half a foot away, and the long knife could not retract its momentum, and pressed against his shoulder to slash a bluestone on the ground into a spark.

The ninja gasped, and the hand on the back of his neck suddenly loosened, and he stumbled to his feet, his body almost pressing against the long knife in his hand.

The one-eyed killer raised his long knife, and the one-eyed stared viciously at the extra figure in the bathroom, and then squeezed out an ugly smile, "It turned out to be a woman." The other party said in rude Japanese.

In front of him appeared a tall woman, dressed in a black Qianguo-style silk robe, with dark twill lines on her coat that looked like ice, but a dense light leather armor was covered in it. From behind, this woman has long shoulders and legs, and her figure is not inferior to Yoko Shimazu in the pond. On her left side hung a small round steel shield, and on her right side she was equipped with a scimitar shaped like a crescent, with a scabbard made of hardwood, and the ornamentation on it was rustic and savage.

Lin Yiqing immediately recognized who she was. I couldn't help but laugh dryly. Scratched his head.

The woman in black gave him a blank look. His gaze then turned to the one-eyed killer, and his eyes were full of fierce murderous aura.

"Are you Japanese? Who sent you? She asked in a deep voice.

The one-eyed killer had no way to retreat at this time, he rolled his eyes, waved his long knife, and said sharply in Qianguo: "You all go to death!" ”

He roared and lunged forward, as if he was about to strike a trapped beast, and the figure of the woman in black flashed, but the one-eyed killer suddenly jumped to the other side.

"Do you want to escape?"

The woman in black moved her wrist. Before Lin Yiqing could see her movements clearly, a crescent scimitar came out of its sheath and silently swept behind the one-eyed killer.

The one-eyed killer took two steps, seemingly desperately trying to escape, when suddenly his body spun, and the long knife appeared in a cold light, splitting the scimitar in the hand of the woman in black.

When ordinary people flee, their backs are inevitably exposed, but the one-eyed killer does the opposite, luring the enemy with escape. In fact, he secretly hid a murderous motive, taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the woman in black. Suddenly killed. He was only one step away from the woman in black, and then suddenly stopped and turned around, as if the woman in black had sent herself to the blade.

The crescent-shaped scimitar of the woman in black sealed the long knife, and her body took three steps back. The one-eyed killer immediately stepped forward, chased three steps in a row, and swept towards the woman in black like a wave. The long knife in the one-eyed killer's hand was five feet long, and the handle alone was more than a foot long, but the blade was only an inch wide and narrow, and the blade was slender. He used the power of his waist and back to split and pick the grid, tossing and turning, urging the knife to go, the knife turned with the person, advancing and retreating, and the knife technique was fierce and strong, and it was extremely powerful.

The scimitar of the woman in black was only half the length of the one-eyed killer's long knife, but in the face of his stormy attack, she advanced and retreated freely, and seemed calm. The one-eyed killer's onslaught was ineffective, and when he staggered again, he suddenly released the hilt of his left hand and raised his hand to shoot a hidden arrow. The hidden arrows sent by the machine were faster than ordinary bows, and the woman in black was so close to the one-eyed killer that she didn't have time to dodge and dodge, but she saw that the woman in black picked up a circular steel shield in her left hand and blocked the arrow blade like lightning.

The small steel shield made a circle of silver-white ripples, and the short arrow that shot quickly froze the moment it hit the shield, and the power contained in the arrow seemed to be drained by the surrounding air, and it hung on the shield of the woman in black, and then it was bounced away and fell to the ground.

The one-eyed killer roared as he retracted his knife and threw it back into his eyes, casting an impenetrable sword light in front of him. The woman in black flicked away her sleeve arrow, and with a stroke of her scimitar, it swept out half a foot through the light of the knife like a willow leaf blown by the breeze. Then he sheathed his knife and turned around as if nothing had happened, staring coldly at the one-eyed killer.

A little blood burst out of the sword light, and the one-eyed killer wielded the long knife desperately, and the roar had turned into a howl of fear.

The woman in black ignored the sword light behind her, and coldly asked the ninja who had just chased in, "Are you injured?" ”

The apparently young ninja's throat twitched, and that's when he saw the face of the woman in black. This woman is actually very young, and she looks a few years older than herself. She was dressed in armor, and it was difficult to see her figure, but her appearance was already a first-class beauty, but that cold demeanor was intimidating. Her eyebrows were dark and picturesque, like a pair of flying swords, and her eyes were large and empty, and although she was looking at him, her gaze seemed to pass through his body.

"I ...... It's okay. He replied in a hoarse voice and stood up.

"He's a trainee ninja, and it should be the first time he has gone on a mission, so it's inevitable that there will be mistakes." Lin Yiqing heard that her voice obviously had a hint of reproach, obviously dissatisfied with the ninja's performance, and couldn't help but explain for him, and then immediately complimented her, "How can his skills be compared to your glass." ”

Xingyue Ruri turned around, her eyes swept over Yoko Shimazu, who was lying on the edge of the pool, she looked at her calmly for a while, didn't say anything, then turned around and strode out of the bathroom, Lin Yiqing saw that she gave herself a big back, knowing that she didn't want to embarrass herself, she couldn't help grinning.

The one-eyed killer had already lost his strength at this time, and the long knife flew out of his hand and flew towards Lin Yiqing. The trainee ninja raised his sword and slapped it, and the long knife fell straight down and embedded in the bluestone.

The one-eyed killer fell to his knees, hissing and clutching his face, blood dripping from his fingers. In the battle just now, Xingyue Liuli only attacked one move, but the knife disappeared into his impenetrable sword shadow, picking out his only remaining intact eyeball.

The trainee ninja stepped forward and slammed the one-eyed killer into the back of the head with the hilt of his sword, knocking him unconscious.

By this time, the battle outside was over, and several more ninjas entered the bathroom. I saw more and more subordinates. Lin Yiqing put his mind at ease. Just as they were about to clean up the battlefield, they heard Yoko Shimazu make a noise, he quickly waved his hand at his subordinates, and pointed to the one-eyed killer who had fainted, and his subordinates understood, and dragged the one-eyed killer out, and after a while, the bathroom was quiet again. Only Lin Yiqing and Yoko Shimazu are left.

Yoko Shimazu woke up leisurely, and saw Lin Yiqing looking at him with a smile, knowing that she had fainted just now, she couldn't help but feel shy, but there was a hint of sweetness in her heart.

The feeling that this man brought to herself was really unforgettable for her life......

Lin Yiqing noticed her shyly and smiling expression, understood what she was thinking, smiled loudly, and hugged her in her arms again.

Yoko Shimazu and Lin Yiqing kissed deeply, and her half-open eyes suddenly saw the corpse lying on the ground. I couldn't help but be taken aback and almost screamed.

"Miss. The food and drinks are ready...... Yes! - Kyoko Kitagawa, who had just entered the bathroom, saw blood and corpses all over the ground, as well as a long knife stained with blood, and screamed loudly in fright.

Just now, after serving Lin Yiqing and Shimazu Yoko in the bath, she took the maids to prepare the banquet according to Shimazu Yoko's previous arrangement, and personally entered the ice cellar to get wine.

"Kyoko, you go down first, we'll come in a moment." Yoko Shimazu was originally as shocked as Kyoko Kitagawa, but she felt the feeling of security brought to her by Lin Yiqing's strong embrace, and recalled the moment of love with him just now, and immediately regained her composure and said to Kyoko Kitagawa .

Kitagawa Kyoko barely controlled herself, bowed deeply to Yoko Shimazu and Lin Yiqing, and retreated.

"These people...... Are you here to kill me? Yoko Shimazu's gaze swept over the faces that had frozen expressions, and she asked, as if she had realized something.

"Yes." Lin Yiqing looked at her fixedly, "Can you guess who they are?" ”

"They used Japanese samurai long swords, and they should have been assassins sent by government thieves." Yoko Shimazu glanced at the long knife in the pool of blood and said, "The only people in Japan who can skillfully use this weapon are the samurai of Tokaido." ”

"That's right." Lin Yiqing's eyes flashed with appreciation again.

"You're here alone, but I can guess that you've got the best of your ninja legion nearby to protect you." Yoko Shimazu noticed that there were also dead bodies outside the window, understood, and turned her head to look into Lin Yiqing's eyes, "You expected them to come, didn't you?" ”

"You're not entirely right, not all of them are the best ninjas here, there are young trainee ninjas among them, and I have to give young people a chance to train." Lin Yiqing smiled, "I didn't expect an assassin to come today, of course, it is necessary to take precautions." ”

"I'm curious, why would the ninja legion, which has a thousand-year-old tradition in Japan, obey you so stubbornly and follow you?" Yoko Shimazu asked puzzledly, "They won't leave you even if they leave their homeland, do they really think of you as the reincarnation of Takeda Shingen?" ”

"Of course not." Lin Yiqing smiled and hugged Yoko Shimazu tightly, he looked at her eyes like deep pools, the tip of his nose almost touched her nose, "Because I gave them something that the Japanese government will never give them, that is, the dignity of being a dignified person!" ”

"In the history of ninjas, they were the lowest-ranking samurai, often outcasts of politicians and warlords! They are just the ones to be hired and used for! No one treats them as human beings! But I'm different! They are my subordinates, my siblings and friends! Among them are my elders and juniors, and I regard them as relatives and friends, and they also regard me as relatives and friends! That's what they value the most! That's why they follow me without hesitation! ”

"You are a respectable man, Lin." Yoko Shimazu kissed him affectionately on the lips, "Now, I'm also your relative, right?" ……”

Lin Yiqing felt that his body was ignited by her kiss again, and he once again impulsively hugged her tightly, starting another round of passion......

“…… What do you think I should do next? ”

“…… Yes...... I know...... You...... Why should you attend...... Imperial examination...... Examination...... You're going to ...... from the inside Break through the strongholds of conservative forces...... The best way to do it...... It's to join them...... Become...... One of them......"

"And what...... Ah......h

“…… Yes...... You will be the emperor's teacher...... Yes! What am I talking about...... Is that right? ”

“…… That's right! Yes! …… And then what about ......"

“…… Will you ...... Educate the Emperor of Qianguo...... Be an enlightened and informed person...... You will take advantage of the emperor...... to promote ...... Reform...... Yes! Will you ...... Transforming the country ......"

"Right...... Yes! And ......?"

"You're going to ...... Deliberately...... Yes! …… Let the Qianguo be plunged into a foreign war...... Because...... In your own power...... It is difficult to break down the barriers set by the old school...... You have to rely on external forces...... Come...... Breaking down these barriers......"

"Correct! …… Yes...... Yoko...... You'll guess...... Which countries will become ...... Such an external force...... Yes! ……”

"In the beginning...... Yes! …… It would be Japan...... Next...... It's going to be Russia......" (To be continued.) )
