Chapter 22: Determination

The morning air was a little humid, and General Sakamura stood on his terrace silently watching the messenger who had just walked away from his guest chair! The back of the messenger was a little lonely, and it was extremely incongruous with this vigorous morning!

There was still a faint smile on the corner of Sakamura's mouth, and the moment the messenger turned around, he immediately raised his hand and waved very politely!

The envoy looked unwilling, stomped his foot hard, cursed in a low voice, stepped on the car, and left General Sakamura's villa like a fly!

The car made a quick turn in the barracks, and soon drove out of the barracks!

Sakamura slowly lowered his hand at this time, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was also deeply hidden, replaced by a trace of melancholy!

"Your Excellency, General!" The adjutant on the side said with a worried face: "Wouldn't it be too rude to the emperor's envoy like this!" After all, the current emperor is no longer just a symbolic existence as in the past, he is also a powerful figure! ”

Sakamura shook his head, as if he was extremely tired, and sat down!

Looking at the car that could no longer see the shadow in the distance, he exhaled deeply: "No way, even if I offend the emperor, I can't agree to his request!" ”

"But! The Emperor's envoy has already come up with a compromise plan to send only 20,000 men to the Imperial Palace, which is much better than asking all our troops to be loyal to him! If you refuse, will there be any trouble? ”

The adjutant's brow furrowed deeply! The Emperor's envoy was already almost pleading, and the cruel words he released when he left had to make people cautious!

Sakamura smiled and said to the adjutant, "Don't you understand the mind of our emperor who is in the prime of life?" I gave him the troops, which was to set a precedent for the troops of the whole country, and to show my support for him! Then as long as one of his decrees is issued, the whole country will be **, and a new war will begin! ”

Sakamura's eyes were as deep as the sea, and he looked at the slowly brightening sky in the distance, and the red morning glow stained half of the sky like blood: "Fuso can no longer withstand the torture of war, the people need a stable life instead of careerists fighting for power, so that Fuso can live in peace!" ”

"But!" The adjutant stepped forward with some excitement: "But your safety is just as important!" I heard that His Majesty the Emperor has a very terrible killer army, and many people who disobey the emperor have been killed by the killers! The Minister of the Interior was killed not long ago because he strongly advocated the policy of the Chinese, and this is a bloody fact! ”

"But so what?" Sakamura looked at the adjutant very helplessly, but his eyes were unusually firm: "Even if I have to pay the price of blood, even if I will be in a different place tomorrow!" I can't let Fuso be limited to **! My great motherland can no longer withstand such a toss! ”

"General!" The adjutant looked at Sakamura in a sad voice, and Sakamura just waved his hand at him: "I want to be quiet alone for a while!" There you go! Don't let anyone bother me! ”

Tears rolled in the adjutant's eyes, and he watched the general's somewhat depressed figure slowly walk towards the villa, and suddenly seemed to be much older!

The adjutant wiped the tears from his eyes and turned around and walked out of the villa! No matter how terrible something is about to happen, he can't let anything happen to the general!

This is a military camp, even if the killer is powerful, you have to go through a heavy siege to get in! He's going to transfer a battalion of men to defend the general's safety! The adjutant didn't believe it, the killer was so powerful that he killed a battalion of people!

Sakamura walked towards his house, and he remembered the young boy again, his smile was always so deep, and he couldn't see what was hidden in his eyes!

He was very polite to everyone, and was even hailed as the most potential emperor of the imperial family in hundreds of years!

But now everything has changed, and he has to stand opposite the young man! The sword soldiers are about to meet, and Sakamura wants to betray the oath he once made, and for the sake of freedom and peace, he will not hesitate to fight the entire pinnacle of national power!

But he doesn't regret it, even if he was asked to choose again, he would make such a decision! Not for anything else, just for the faithfulness of that lovely child!

I still remember how the old emperor solemnly asked him to hold his hand before he died, and he will never forget how clear his faithful eyes were at that moment!

Sakamura laughed softly: "Yes, I have no regrets!" If you have to be sorry for someone, then let the current Emperor XiΓ  be sad, after all, his younger brother is more worthy of support! ”

"Really? Commenting on His Majesty the Emperor like this, is this an act that a Fuso person should have! The door behind him was gently lit, and two black shadows appeared behind Sakamura like ghosts!

For the expected thing, Sakamura didn't panic, not even a trace of fear!

He turned around slowly, but was immediately reprimanded by the black shadow: "Slow down, don't turn so fast!" Lift up your hands so I can see where your hands are! ”

Sakamura turned around with a smile, but his hand was not raised on his head. The two killers in the darkness did not stop again, because they had already seen that there was no pistol on Sakamura's waist!

"I have spent my whole life in the barracks, and iron and fire are my mottos! In this world, there is only the fallen Sakamura, and there is no Sakamura who raised his hand to surrender! Do you think that just the two of you can scare me into raising my hands and begging for mercy? ”

Sakamura looked coldly at the two killers who were wrapped in tight black clothes, and his eyes were full of disdain!

The killer who had just spoken took a step forward, and only his glasses were still exposed!

He also sneered and said: "As a Fuso person, or a general of Fusang, you actually say that about your Emperor Majesty!" His Majesty the Emperor is a god, do you think you can still live after saying those words? ”

Sakamura sighed softly: "The emperor used to be the whole of my life, I was the captain of the guard for eight years, and the emperor is my heaven!" It's just a pity that the current emperor has changed, and he is no longer satisfied with his existing rights! Inflated ambition can make people crazy, and he won't be forgiven even if he sees his father! ”

"Presumptuous, you shut up for me!"

The black-clothed man yelled in despair: "You are dying and you still don't repent!" His Majesty the Emperor also said that he can give you a decent way to die, and you must have the dignity of a samurai, I don't think you deserve it at all! ”

With a cold snort, Sakamura's face showed disdain: "He doesn't know what a samurai is!" He was a careerist who had lived all his life in a struggle for power! If he hadn't been in a hurry to find the right in the first place, would that bastard Shimada have a chance? ”

The man in black was already trembling! The emperor is a god in his heart, and he does not allow anyone to insult the emperor!

The two killers drew their knives almost at the same time! The knives were pulled out of their backpacks behind their backs, which is something only ninjas do, and real samurai don't bother to do such things!

Sakamura smiled coldly: "It turned out to be two clowns jumping off the beam!" Well, since my life is going to end here! There is a question, and before I die, I want to ask you! I guess that's not too much to ask, right? ”

"Just ask!" The man in black snorted coldly: "When I came, His Majesty the Emperor had already confessed, you are a person who has contributed to the royal family, as long as it is not too demanding, I can agree to you!" ”

Sakamura smiled miserably: "He still remembers that I used to be a member of the royal family!" ”

After a pause, Sakamura asked, "Actually, I just want to know, how did you get in!" I'm so well defended, how did you come here so silently! ”

The killer smiled, "Remember what the messenger said to you before leaving?" If you don't agree to the emperor's request, you will pay the price! ”

Sakamura nodded, and suddenly said, "You are here with the messenger!" ”

"Not bad!" The killer said triumphantly, "Let's follow the messenger's car in!" As soon as we got to the front of the villa, nothing could stop us anymore! ”

Sakamura nodded heavily: "Understood!" Well, Mr. Killer, please give me a treat! Like you said, let my death be less painful! ”

The eyes of the two killers sparkled, and their knives gleamed in the dark room! The killer said very considerately: "It must be as you wish, let you die like a samurai!" ”

The blade was raised high above his head, and Sakamura slowly closed his glasses! He didn't want to see how helpless he was at this moment when he died!

The two killers let out a low shout, and the blades slashed through the air, slashing at Sakamura's head with a whistling sound!

With a bang, Sakamura opened his glasses!

In the shouting, the two killers had already taken three steps back! As soon as he gained a foothold, the killer quickly dispersed to both sides like a spring under his feet!

The silver sword light waved in the air, and the two killers surrounded the village from both sides!

Suddenly, Sakamura's hand tightened, and the whole person was pulled away!

He was surprised to find that a mild-faced young man was standing beside him! Just like the two killers who suddenly appeared, the appearance of this person is just as magical!

The young man was holding a shiny white steel knife in his hand! When the two killers were about to bring death, he actually turned around and smiled softly at Sakamura: "Respected general, I've kept you waiting!" These two clowns! Leave it to me! ”

Suddenly, a white light suddenly lit up from the young man's knife! The dark room was full of folds, and the eyes of the two killers were covered by the sudden light of the knife, and even their figures were paused!

Matsumoto smiled at the corner of his mouth and said happily: "Actually, what you said is very right, if you respect other people's killers, you will also get the samurai's death!" ”

With a slash, Sakamura only felt that it was a gorgeous arc! There were bloodshots flying in the air. The two killers stood less than a meter in front of him at the same time, motionless!

Suddenly, the knives of the two killers snapped from it in unison, and blood lines slowly appeared from their necks! The man in black who had been talking slowly gave a thumbs up and said with difficulty: "It's really a good knife technique!" ”

Looking at the killer who fell to the ground and died, Sakamura sighed heavily! He turned to Matsumoto and said, "Thank you, I think it must be Mr. Nighthawk's people who can show up at this time, right?"

"Exactly!" Matsumoto said lightly: "I've been here for three days, just to protect you!" ”

Sakamura nodded: "Go and tell Mr. SΓΉ Nighthawk, I will agree to what he says!" ”
