Chapter 335: Entering Sanxiu Village
The standard donkey rolled and dodged the trampling attack of the two horses' hooves, Xiao Zhi bounced the katana in his hand from the ground to the bottom and cut the horse's belly from the bottom up, blood flew in the air, and the horse fell to the ground with a wail! The young man named Kojiro landed in the air, pulled out the long knife at his waist and rushed wildly, and it was a knife in an instant......
Bang, the blades struck, Xiao Zhi's wrist was numb, and he secretly said a lot of strength!
He looked at Kojiro and said, "You're very good, come with me, Jibao is dead, there's no point in you fighting anymore......"
Kojiro's sharp eyes did not fluctuate, and he said lightly: "I promised to be a personal samurai for Jiho-sama for a year, then I will fulfill my promise to do it for a year, tonight is the last day, as long as it is not dawn, I will kill you." ”
Brainless guy, kind of interesting.
Xiao Zhi's swordsmanship blends many styles.
He stole the fighting skills of Takeshi Amagani in "Listen to the Gods", and also stole the swordsmanship skills of Barbossa in "Pirates of the Caribbean", plus the armed fighting he learned in the real world, although it is a bit different, but it is very practical to use......
Kojiro's knife skills are very good, but Xiao Zhi's weird attack method is insidious and tricky, they fought for a long time, and the two of them consumed a lot of energy, but they didn't suffer any harm to each other.
Xiao Zhi forced Kojiro back again, and said loudly: "The shogunate itself is difficult to protect, this civil strife cannot be stopped in a short time, you look at these poor people, they should live and work in peace and contentment, but now because of the drought and the man-made disasters brought about by the civil strife, they can't return to their families, they have no food to fill their hunger, so they can only leave their homes and wander around until they die......
Tell me out loud, for whom did you pull out the sword in your hand, for the poor people of the world, for your own fame and fortune, or for these lackeys of the shogunate, who were already corrupted from the inside? Tell me! ”
Kojiro had already adapted to Xiao Zhi's strange knife technique and figured out the pattern, but when he heard these words, the slender blade appeared to stagnate for a short time. The corners of Xiao Zhi's mouth grinned, and he struck with all his strength, knocking the long knife in Kojiro's hand. Kojiro stood in place, even if the knife was on his neck, he didn't have any expression, as if he was stopped by the philosophical questioning.
Xiao Zhi took the knife back, picked up the scabbard from the ground and put it in: "It is not easy for the shogunate to quell this civil strife, even if it is forcibly suppressed in a short time, the strength of the general and those nobles and heroes has also been weakened.
The guardian daimyo in various places are originally restless and uncontrollable existences, and the weakness of the shogunate will only make these daimyo instantly show the fangs of their ambitions, fight each other, start a new power struggle, and incarnate as Sengoku Daimyo......"
Kojiro's mind is a little cloudy, he just wants to make himself stronger and become the strongest swordsman, and he has never thought about such a deep problem and has never thought about it related to himself. This series of words is really a bit overwhelming. He raised his hand and stared blankly at the calloon on his palm, this is the trace left by long-term hard training, if he becomes the strongest, then what is the goal in the future?
Xiao Zhi left a faint sentence: "Only by having things that you want to protect can you make yourself stronger, ruthless and unrighteous in the end, even if you become stronger, it is just a humanoid weapon, I hope you can join, your strength will be more useful......"
The dozen or so samurai who had gone out with Kojiro came back, and they knew that Kojiro had been defeated by the young man in front of them, and they immediately knelt on the ground to surrender. Xiao Zhi didn't open the killing ring again, only the few people in the small village were really not enough.
He went directly to the owner of the land to protect the family, and asked people to bring back the remaining people from the small broken village.
There are dozens of villagers in Sanxiu Village standing outside the door of the Jibao family, they are all planning to come to grab food, but after witnessing the duel between Xiao Zhi and Kojiro, they are timid, and these two in front of them are really powerful samurai.
In this era, there are too few samurai with real skills, and dozens of them can stab those samurai to death, but if they want to kill Kojiro and Xiao Zhi, they may succeed, but the price will only be far greater than imagined......
Xiao Zhi found a lot of grain in the warehouse of the Dibao family, he looked at the torches and flames in the villagers outside the yard, and walked out directly with a bag of grain, opened the opening, and suddenly the eyes of the villagers lit up, good things! The corpses of the ground guards on the ground were still lying there, and there were more than a dozen corpses of the samurai of the courtyard as a companion, and the villagers were excited, but they did not dare to be reckless, for fear of becoming someone else's substitute for the dead......
Kojiro didn't leave, he sat on the nearby rock with the slender knife, looking at everything that happened here, as if he wanted to see how Xiao Zhi dealt with these villagers, in the past, as long as Jibao showed the knife and cut one or two villagers, the others would naturally disperse.
Xiao Zhi's gaze swept over these small villagers, and said in a deep voice: "The land protection does a lot of evil, and always oppresses the villagers under the pretext of it, I really can't stand it, so I have to kill the evil and kill him!" Now Sanxiu Village will be ...... by me Resemble...... Ahem, Jiang Chuan Xiaozhi is temporarily managing on his behalf, do you have any opinions? ”
The villagers immediately turned their heads to each other, and it must have been uncomfortable to be run by a stranger in the village.
One of the villagers plucked up the courage and said loudly: "The drought has been severe in the past two years, and there is no harvest of rice and crops in the fields...... If you are exempted from this year's annual tribute, we will all support you to become the master of Sanxiu Village......"
Xiao Zhi smiled and said: "The annual tribute has to be paid, but I am a reasonable person, and I only need to pay the three achievements of your harvest." ”
The villager replied a little unconvinced: "What's the difference, we have almost no harvest this year, where can we pay 30%?" What does this have to do with land conservation? ”
Xiao Zhi's gaze stayed on the faces of the villagers for a moment: "The annual tribute that the land security requires you to pay is calculated according to the head of each household, that is, a fixed amount!" If your harvest is only 10 grains, then it is okay to only pay 3 grains, and there are still people who oppose this condition, that is, they suspect that my knife is not sharp enough! ”
The villagers shrank their necks, feeling that Xiao Zhi's condition was not too much, and it was much better than counting catties and catties per head of the land insurance!
Just when they were about to leave with some regret, Xiao Zhi stopped them.
He pointed to the grain in the sack next to him and said: "People should be grateful, I am good to you, I hope you understand the Entu report, now everyone comes up to take a handful of rice home, that is, use one hand to take rice from this sack, not with the help of tools, how much you can take depends on your ability......"
I wanted to say a handful, but these villagers have a lot of hands under their long-term labor, and these hundreds of people will take a handful when they come up, and I'm afraid they will have to drag two more bags of rice, although the task of the paper is to redeem as many people as possible, but this is just the beginning, and Xiao Zhi can't do it to the point of sacrificing himself......
