Dozens of torches shrouded the Murakami family's house in yellow light, and Murakami Chito in the middle of the firelight circle stood in front of Mr. Bookkeeper, compared to those around him, Murakami Chiyo and a few of his subordinates looked alone.

Murakami stood tall and didn't really mean to give in. Naruto took a few more steps, getting closer to Murakami Chiyong. He shouted, "Qianyong, you are no longer suitable to be the commander of the Iyo Water Army. I've been talking to the chiefs these days, and I've learned that the Iyo Naval Army who stayed in the area didn't make any money. Everyone has no future with you. Murakami, hand over the position. It's good for everyone. ”

In the light of the fire, the other leaders were silent. The clothes on these people were very different from their parents' very limited, including Murakami Chiyong. The center of the circle of people composed of these people is Zhao Naruto and Murakami Chiyong. Each torch represents a leader. The outer perimeter, made up of dozens of torches, was silent, staring at the two people in the center of the inner circle.

Murakami Chito felt a huge pressure, the silent people should have stood by his side and supported him, but he didn't expect that at this time, these people would coldly watch Zhao Naruto rebel. Looking at Zhao Naruto, Murakami Chiyong shouted at the people around him, "Kill him!" ”

The cronies who were still with Murakami Chiyong immediately rushed towards Zhao Naruto with spears, sticks and other weapons. The European maid beside Zhao Naruto took two steps forward, drew her revolver and opened fire, snapping and knocking several cronies to the ground. The bullets of the revolver were not very lethal, and the men were pumping on the ground in pain, obviously no longer useful.

"Surrender. Qianyong. Naruto said calmly.

"You...... Do you dare to duel with me? Knowing that the general trend was gone, Murakami Chiyong roared.

"Go get your knife." Zhao Naruto replied indifferently. He could have allowed his subordinates to shoot Murakami Chito to death, but this was obviously not the way of the Wa Kingdom. As a leader, it's a ritual to solve problems by going head-to-head, and there's a reason why this ritual can be passed down. Only the strong are qualified to command the people.

"Go get the knife!" Murakami Chiyong said to the account room first. The bookkeeper, who was almost fifty years old, got up with tears in his eyes and hurried to the back hall.

The European maid walked up to Naruto Zhao and handed over the sword. Zhao Naruto has mostly used bayonet swords over the years, this thing is the guy used on the battlefield, stabbing a sword in the vital part of the enemy, and the enemy who bleeds heavily inside is not dead but also seriously injured. The more familiar he was with this weapon, the more Zhao Naruto admired Zhao Jiaren, who made this standard weapon. Those who can gamble their lives to kill on the front line are true warriors.

"Bring the knife!" Zhao Ming said. This is the Wa Kingdom, and the traditions of the Wa Kingdom are the most convincing.

Taking the katana handed by the maid, Zhao Naruto took a few more steps forward, quietly waiting for the other party to get the weapon as well. Not long after, the bookkeeper ran back with a knife. Murakami Chito took the sword, drew the sword out of its sheath, and the circle of torches immediately flashed with cold light.

"This is the Tiger Sword!" Holding the sword he inherited from his father, Murakami Chito immediately gained courage. This is a treasure sword, and it is extremely sharp. After inheriting this sword, which represented the status of Murakami's water army, he also practiced it often.

Father! Please give me martial luck! Chito Murakami prayed in his heart. Even when Murakami's father was still alive, the old man already sensed that something was completely wrong. The most capable sailors all went to Naruto and Sa's assistants, and their families were richer than the sailor families who stayed in the country. Before he died, Murakami's father worriedly told Chiyong that the time when Naruto would stay in Iyo Province was probably the time when he would seize power.

Since Zhao Naruto decided to seize the position of leader in the most solemn way, he also gave Murakami a chance. That dead loser is likely to be Naruto Cho.

Waving the long knife to find the feel, Murakami also asked Zhao Naruto defiantly, "What is the title of the knife you use!" ”

Zhao Naruto drew his katana, and the blue-black blade looked black and dull in the light of the torch. Only those with the best eyesight can barely see that there are extremely fine spots on the edge of the blade that have been sharpened and sharpened.

"The name of this knife is Black Cut!" Zhao Naruto replied. With that, he threw down his scabbard and strode towards Murakami.

Hinata supports Naruto Zhao, so she feels nervous in her heart. The means by which those so-called senior masters win is their experience, whether it is physical strength, reaction speed, young people in their twenties far surpass the old people.

At this time, Murakami also strode forward, a big upper section, and waved his knife fiercely. Zhao Naruto met the sword horizontally, and the two knives collided fiercely, making a certain crisp sound.

Hu Che is a famous knife, and with such a strong slash, an ordinary knife may be cut in two. Murakami didn't expect Zhao Naruto's inconspicuous black knife to be so strong, and he was also surprised in his heart. Zhao Naruto was a pity in his heart, the stabbing sword used on the battlefield could be regarded as a triangular stout steel pillar with a blade or two at the head of the head, plus a strong gauntlet, if it was slashed like this, the stabbing sword was probably not even injured. However, this Japanese sword, even if it is very confident in the technology of the Great Song, is not completely at ease.

At this time, Murakami vigorously pushed the hilt of the knife, trying to suppress Naruto Zhao with force. Zhao Naruto pushed back hard, and under the competition, Murakami Tengteng took two steps back.

Zhao Naruto took a step forward, wanting to stab forward, but he was a little soft-hearted. When he was a child, he also hugged Qianyong, seizing power and killing people are two different things after all. So the front stab turned into a slash, if you can subdue Murakami Chiyu. At least it can save the child's life.

Murakami Chito steadily blocked the slash, and even launched several sharp counterattacks in turn. Single-round swordsmanship, this young man has a level above his age. Although the knife technique is not old and spicy, it is by no means immature. It also posed a big threat to Zhao Naruto.

After a few rounds, the compassion in Zhao Ming's heart quickly dissipated. This is a battlefield, and there is really no room for mercy. Murakami Qianyong made a sharp stab, Zhao Naruto swung his knife to block, and after shaking away the tiger, he slashed at Qianyong three times in a row. Qian Yong was young after all, and he reluctantly withdrew his knife and blocked the slash. But he also staggered back two steps.

Hinata frowned slightly. The progress of the battle was greatly unexpected by her, and Chito Murakami, who was known for his sword skills, should have made great moves, and Zhao Naruto should have made clever moves. Now the situation is reversed, and Zhao Naruto's strength has overwhelmed Murakami Chiyong. forced Murakami to parry with the quick reflexes of young people.

Martial arts are a force that will reduce ten. Great strength naturally occupies a huge advantage. Murakami Chiyong can sit in this position because of his superb martial arts......

is going, and the two sides have entered the stage of fighting for their lives. Murakami's knife is like the wind, and all the moves have the same posture of ending up. Zhao Naruto was not in a hurry or impatient, relying on his powerful block, not only did he not fall behind, but he could even make Murakami Chiyong be forced to take half a step back every time.

Murakami Chito only felt that his hands were getting more and more sore, and he knew that if he continued like this, he would soon not be able to hold the knife. At this point, either surrender or desperately. Murakami Chiyong once again raised his hands high and rushed up and slashed desperately, even if he died with Zhao Naruto, he did not hesitate.

Zhao Naruto also held the knife in both hands, and the black cut swung it with all his strength from the bottom up. With a ding, Murakami Chiyong waved his arms down, and a bright disc suddenly appeared in mid-air. And Zhao Naruto swung his mid-air knife and slashed downward. Murakami's body immediately stiffened.

The spinning disc hit the ground, thud, and plunged into the ground. It turned out to be a half-cut Hu Che. At this time, Murakami Qianyong fell to the ground softly, but saw the blood on his waist spurting wildly, and he was deeply slashed.

"Ahem!" Murakami coughed twice, and blood gushed out of his mouth. He struggled for a moment, and then he whimpered for his life.

"Lord!" The bookkeeper screamed and threw himself at Murakami's body. Zhao Naruto gestured to the maid, and the maid walked over and fired several shots at Mr. Bookkeeper at close range, with no reason to let go of such a culprit.

Seeing that Zhao Naruto had taken over the position of leader so upright, those onlookers all had relieved expressions on their faces. Hinata rushed forward quickly and asked happily, "How did you still have so much energy?" ”

"I've been eating meat every day all these years." Zhao Naruto replied, and with that, he undid the belt of his yukata.

Hinata was stunned for a moment, took a step back vigilantly and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

Zhao Naruto replied with a wry smile, "I'm a little injured, hurry up and help me bandage it." ”

Everyone looked at Zhao Naruto, who was naked, and the muscles on his body were strong, and there was no trace of fat. The leaders couldn't help but look down at their bodies, and many of them even looked a little skinny. This comparison alone made everyone even more obedient to Zhao Naruto.

Zhao Naruto, who had simply bandaged it, asked everyone to gather around, and he endured the pain and shouted to everyone: "I tell everyone, follow me, there is meat to eat!" ”

After subduing the Iyo naval army, Zhao Naruto immediately informed Hu Yuelian in Kamakura of the news. Hu Yuelian, who had been extremely bored in Kamakura, immediately told the Kamakura Shogunate, who had pushed back and forth, that if he did not agree to the request of the Great Song, the Great Song would not be able to provide the Kamakura Shogunate with the technique of the ash blowing method. Hu Yuelian will go to Kyoto to meet the king of the Japanese kingdom, and then leave.

At this time, the Kamakura shogunate's imperial insider, Heira Yoritsuna, was a little anxious at that time. This place is rich in gold and silver, and there are a lot of gold and silver mountains. The ash blowing method can refine gold and silver, and without the ash blowing method, it is equivalent to sitting on the treasure and not being able to access it. It's just that the strength of the Great Song Dynasty is strong, especially the water power is particularly amazing. If the Great Song Dynasty was allowed to have a shipping route, the Wa Kingdom was very worried that the Great Song Dynasty, which had defeated the Mongols, would be more ferocious than the Mongols. The Mongols were a real threat to the Japanese state.

So the people of the Kamakura shogunate adopted the procrastination trick. Drag Hu Yuelian first. Since Hu Yuelian wanted to go and meet the king of the Wa Kingdom, then arrange for her to go first. It will take time to go back and forth.

Hu Yuelian originally wanted to go to Zhao Mingren's side to have a look. The Zhao family wanted the current Qin Empress family to come to the Seto Inland Sea in the Wa Kingdom to cultivate pearls. The reason for this is that the Seto Inland Sea is calm and sea-calm, making it ideal for pearl farming. As long as this goal can be achieved, Da Song will have completed the goal. As a meritorious person on this trip, Hu Yuelian can also let her clansmen follow Empress Qin to engage in this business. Zhao Guanjia made it clear that the shares were divided into 100 shares, and the imperial court, various participants and investors could all get shares. Hu Yuelian believes in Zhao Jiaren the most, and of course she is infinitely happy to see that she also has the opportunity to build an industry for her family.

Just rejoicing and rejoicing, and doing what should be done. She also had to pretend to go to Heiankyo to meet the king of Wa Kingdom first. When you come back, you can stop by to see the waters controlled by the Iyo Naval Army.

Waiting for Hu Yuelian to set off, the imperial insider Taira Yoritsuna immediately summoned a group of ministers of the Kamakura shogunate to discuss. The Wa Kingdom was a weak country to the Great Song Dynasty, so they did not want to open the route to the Great Song Dynasty. However, if the route is not open, there will be many problems.

Some of his subordinates said indifferently: "Anda Taisheng's son said these days that the Anda family is actually the illegitimate son of Yuan Yorichao. ”

"What?" The imperial man Ping Laigang was a little confused, "Is this an attempt to rebel?" ”

The Anda family was a loyal servant of Minamoto Yorito. Minamoto Yoritomo was defeated by the Heike and fled to the Okulu region to the north, and among the few retainers who followed him was the ancestor of Anda Taimori. Later, the Yuan Lai Dynasty won the Battle of Yuanping, and the Anda family naturally soared. After that, the Anda family followed and won the Miura clan. Become the most influential of the royal family. If they are really the illegitimate sons of Minamoto Yorito, then they have a chance to become shoguns.

"They are going to rebel. What's so bad about that? The one who had just spoken said said with a smile: "Destroying the traitors can not only eliminate the rebellious party." It can also recover the gray blowing method in the hands of the chaotic party. We no longer have to be restrained by the Great Song Dynasty, which is a good thing to count in one fell swoop. ”

Hu Yuelian knew that the Great Song Dynasty had supported many local heroes and powerhouses in the Wa Kingdom, but she didn't expect that Pifu was innocent and guilty. As a result, the gang became blacklisted. At this time, Hu Yuelian rode the Arab horse provided by the Great Song Dynasty Embassy and embarked on the road of 'Shangluo'. The purpose is Heiankyo.

In 784 AD, the capital was moved from Heijokyo (present-day Nara City) to Nagaoka-kyo (present-day Nagaokakyo City). However, less than 10 years later, Emperor Kanmu moved the capital to Heiankyo (also known as Kyoto City) in Yamashiro Province in 794 A.D., at the suggestion of Waki Kiyomaro, and thus began the Heian period and the history of Kyoto as the capital of Japan. Heiankyo's location is based on Feng Shui ideas and is modeled after Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty in China, and is a traditional city-based city. Heiankyo is about 5.2 kilometers long from north to south and 4.5 kilometers long from east to west, an area equivalent to one-fifth of Chang'an Castle in the Tang Dynasty of China. Located directly north of Heiankyo, the emperor's residence, the city is divided into two symmetrical parts, Ukyo (also known as "Chang'an") and Sakyo (also known as "Luoyang") centered on Suzaku Taiji. Heiankyo is a large-scale and well-planned traditional East Asian planning city.

Shangluo, a term unique to the Wa Kingdom, came from this way.
