Chapter 149: The Beginning of the War
Overcast with lightning and thunder, the torrential rain continued to rain all afternoon and into the evening. The town of Tokyo was soaked in mud by the rain.
In the mayor's mansion, the discussion between Yanagi father and son has already come to fruition.
"Alright, father, without further ado, I'll go to Shadowtown tomorrow and hire a Shadow Ninja assassin to carry out the decapitation operation."
"Well, there is only one way now...... "Yanagi Dazhi breathed a sigh of relief, the Shadow Ninja clan made a move, and the chance of success was much higher, as long as the two deacons died, the Dongling Spirit Flow would naturally be self-defeating.
After the father and son finished speaking, they walked to the back hall, preparing to make a beautiful package of a treasure that had been passed down from the family for many years, and give it to the Yu Ying ninja clan as a gift for them.
At this time, above the hall, in an inconspicuous corner, the roof tiles were empty, revealing a pair of small eyes full of hatred.
Late at night, the rain stopped. In the dark streets of Tokyo Town, a white lightning bolt struck, and a small thin figure wearing a wide coat was seen, walking in the mud with difficulty.
In the mayor's mansion, Liu Sheng's father and son had already packed the treasure, and specially selected a delicate box to put the treasure in the box. At this time, it was already late at night, and the father and son went directly to the room to rest.
Although it no longer rains outside, there are still bursts of lightning and thunder from time to time, which makes people anxious, for fear that it will rain again in the middle of the night and cause flooding. Tokyo has not had a flood in many years.
Yanagi Dazhi listened to the faint snoring of the lady next to him, lying on the bed but couldn't sleep, he was not worried that there would be a flood, even if it happened, it would not be their Yanagi family who was drowned, every time there was a flood, most of the people who died were those who were reluctant to have a little bit of family wealth, as for those rich merchants and landlords, they had already left their homes and fled, for them, their shops and land were property, and the shops could be rebuilt if they were gone, and the land would always dry up one day. Why risk their lives for something outside their bodies, as long as the people are still around, they believe that they can once again become the landlords and wealthy merchants here, and control the economy and land of Tokyo Town.
Yagyu Daichi was not worried about flooding, but he couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, and for some reason he always felt faintly uneasy in his heart, and when he finally got through the ugliness, he couldn't help but be tired, and his two eyes and eyelids fought, and he fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, lightning and thunder still roared.
Yagyu Daichi had a very beautiful dream, he dreamed that his four sons had all become the masters of the Toei martial arts, serving the Gen Yori Chao Yuan, helping Gen to defeat Hando Hideto, Gen Da named his four sons as the general of the Woo Yi, and became the Genji Four Tigers of the new generation after the Genji Seven Heroes. When Yanagi Dazhi dreamed of this, he actually let out a low laugh of "hehehe". This laughter didn't wake her up, but it woke up the wife next to her, the woman listened to the thunder outside the sky, and with the weird laughter of the people around her, she was so frightened that she hurriedly covered her head with the quilt, and didn't dare to wake up Yanagi Dazhi, just blindly shrunk into the quilt and trembled.
At this time, in the town of Tokyo, a black torrent moved slowly, without a sound, without a trace of movement. From time to time, a bolt of lightning fell, but the black torrent shone with bursts of white light, which was clearly the dazzling light reflected by a long knife and a short sword.
"Yagyu Kengo, Yanagi Kenchuan, Yanagi Kenzhi, and Yanagi Kenyoshi four generals, I named you four as the Four Heavenly Demon Kings today, and the Yanagi family is the door to protect the country in Dongying, and from now on protect my emperor Shenwei, and forever be the first in Dongying." At a newly renovated imperial palace in Nara Castle, Emperor Yasutohito issued a reward to the Yagyu family.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The four young generals of the Yanagi family said in unison.
Yagyu stood aside with a relieved smile......
"But Yagyu Daichi! You have no credit, but you are still in the position of the head of the family, doing evil in the town of Tokyo, scraping the people's fat and ointment, and uniting with the local rich businessmen to oppress my people, your son has merit, but you have done a lot of evil, come on! Escort him down to me and behead him for public display! "Minamoto Yoritomo stood under Emperor Yasutohito, and he actually wanted to order Yagyu Daichi to be beheaded.
"My lord, I was wronged!" Yanagi Dazhi couldn't laugh at this time, and a group of soldiers behind him surrounded him and grabbed him and was about to drag him out of the hall, Yanagi Dazhi hurriedly shouted: "Kengo, save your father, Jianchuan, why are you laughing?" Jianyi, think about teaching you for decades for your father, remember this kindness, save your father! Don't push me, don't drag me! I tell you, if I don't die, I will definitely break you into pieces! Don't push! ”
"Don't push! It's endless! Yanagi Dazhi was finally woken up by his wife, he was so angry that he slapped his wife next to him with a shake of his hand, and shouted loudly: "How many times have I told you, don't push me when I'm dreaming!" If you're afraid of my laughter, go to another room and go to sleep! Did you hear that? ”
In the dark, the people around him did not speak, nor did they cry and cry as usual.
"Huh...... I mean, you stinky has learned not to speak, haven't you? If it weren't for the fact that you gave birth to four sons for me, the labor and management would have divorced you a long time ago, speak! Yanagi Dazhi saw that the people around him were still sitting still, just raised his hand and wanted to slap him, but he was caught by a cold iron palm on his wrist, Yanagi Dazhi was shocked, and hurriedly wanted to withdraw but couldn't break free at all, Yanagi Dazhi looked back, and a ghostly black shadow stood next to his bed.
"Hitting a woman is not a good habit...... "The shadow whispered, although with a smile, his tone was full of coldness.
"Who are you?" Yanagi Daichi was already on guard when he saw the black shadow, and although he couldn't break free from the iron hoop-like palm, he still stood up in a leap.
"The man who killed you!" The black shadow still said something coldly, but this time the voice seemed to come from all directions, and Yanagi felt a trace of fear.
"You...... Don't you think! Ah......h
"What is it like to die?" The black shadow lay in Yanagi Dazhi's ear and asked softly.
However, Yanagi Dazhi could no longer make any answers, and saw a trace of black blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, and he fell to the bed with a plop......
"Ah......h
……
At this time, outside the mayor's mansion, the lights were bright, and on the muddy road, a group of black samurai were surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, all of whom were disciples of the Yanagi family. I saw them shouting and rushing into the house.
In the mansion, there was also a large group of people crowded in the darkness, the first black shadow was holding three round rumbling things, and a small figure stood beside him, and there was a black shadow kneeling next to him, and his face could not be seen clearly.
"Xiao Jin, this person will be handed over to you." The dark shadow spoke coldly.
The little figure listened to the black shadow's words, and walked up to the kneeling man, carrying a long knife taller than himself, and slashed the man's head with a horizontal slash, with a clean and neat technique, without a trace of hesitation.
At this time, another figure suddenly flew around the corner in the distance, and I saw that this black figure was also holding a bulging thing, walked to the child's side, patted his little head gently, and said: "Palm lamp, light the fire!" ”
With the order of the black shadow, the house was brightly lit up for a while, and a group of black heads crowded the courtyard, led by two people, one wearing red and the other wearing black, it was Yan Lengfeng and Yao Shuang.
"Lord Red Butler, why is there only one head?" Yan Lengfeng saw that Yao Shuang only had the head of Liu Sheng Dazhi in his hand, and couldn't help but ask.
Yao Shuang looked at the three bloody heads in Yan Lengfeng's hands, and sighed, "Hey...... A woman, her husband and son have been killed, she has no hope of revenge, the grass has been removed, let her live if she is left alone......"
Yan Lengfeng shook his head and didn't speak, threw the three heads at the person behind him, and ordered: "Throw these three heads out of the door, if there are still people who resist or take revenge, they will be killed directly!" ”
The man answered and was about to go out, Yao Shuang also threw the head of Liu Sheng Dazhi in his hand to the man, and said: "The main thing is this, it's really not good, go out and show them this head in person, if there are people who are willing to submit, don't do it, if there are people who escape, don't care about him, those who resist...... Just kill it......"
Yan Lengfeng watched the man under his command leave the crowd with four bloody heads in his hands, and then spoke, "Lord Red Deacon, is it too merciful?" ”
"Kindness? I just don't want Xiao Jin to live in the shadow of revenge and bloodkill since she was a child. ”
Yao Shuang looked at the little figure who had been lowering her head and sobbing softly, and couldn't help but think of her past experience.
"Hey...... Let's hope he's not like me......"
……
When the sky finally dawned, the people of Tokyo resumed their busy day, unaware that the mayor had already changed hands.
At noon, the sun was shining, and people were running to the wall of the town center sign on the muddy ground that had not yet completely dried up.
"Hello everyone, I am the new mayor of Tokyo Town, Lord Red Deacon! I believe you have also heard of my name, and you also know that my Dongying War is about to start, rest assured, our Dongling Lingxin just wants to compete with the Yanagi family for the position of mayor, and there is absolutely no ill will for ordinary people, our school has robbed the property of many rich families before, I apologize to you here, since I took the position of mayor today, this kind of thing will never happen again! Since ancient times, the position of power, those who have the ability to get it, under the leadership of our Dongling Lingxin, we have great confidence to build our Tokyo town into a strong military town, and when the war starts, it will be able to protect the people from the invasion of both sides, and I hope you will tell each other, do not panic, and live with peace of mind as usual! ”
When the people of Tokyo Town saw this announcement, they were all secretly amazed and regretful, who would have thought that the Yanagi family, who had been entrenched in Tokyo Town for hundreds of years, would disappear inexplicably overnight, and it was really an iron-clad battalion of soldiers, in addition to regret, in fact, it didn't have much impact, it was nothing more than to see that the mayor of the town was not called Lord Yanagi, but called a red deacon......
This news had no effect on the ordinary people of Tokyo Town, but it had a huge impact on the rich merchants and landlords who had been robbed.
But will the flow of the spirit be as they wish? The position of power that was finally snatched up, without the support of these strata, how could it sit for a long time......
