Chapter 7: Killing a Nation

After finishing his business, Lu Qiming easily went to the market to buy a basket of fresh vegetables and prepared to cook at home. However, when he walked to the alley last time, Lu Qiming was a little painful to find that the Pelican Blade Guard was standing there for a long time, looking at the situation, he was waiting for him.

"Funny, you look a lot more flustered this time than you did last time. When you're alone, do you feel less daring? ”

"You are one of the few top swordsmen in the world, can you use it to embarrass a novice like me who can't even hold a sword? With me, you can't achieve the sense of value you want. ”

Udo Blade Guard's face changed slightly.

"You seem to know me well?"

"Not really. After meeting you that day, I looked up some information. Based on your performance that day, analyze a little bit to find out. You aspire to fight the strongest swordsmen. You think that's the way to realize the value of your life, right? ”

Lu Qiming didn't dare to point out directly, the other party had lost his life goal. I can only hint at it on the side. In the face of a villain who can kill you with a wave of his hand, directly break the opponent's psychological weakness, and it is easy to be hacked to death by the opponent.

"You don't seem to agree with that? I'm a swordsman, what's the point of living if I can't achieve the strongest kendo. Like you said, you're a piece of waste that can't even hold a sword. How can a person like you understand what I am after? ”

Lu Qiming chuckled, without the slightest annoyance at being called a waste.

"I'm not saying your quest is meaningless. I just think you're choosing the wrong target. ”

"Drawing Daozhai is recognized as the strongest swordsman. Do you know anything stronger than him? ”

"The strongest swordsman? Not necessarily. He's been retired for ten years. How do you know he's still the strongest. In fact, even in his prime, he may not be the strongest. At least his master, Bigu Qingjuro, will definitely not be weaker than him. His successor after retirement, Zhi Zhixiong is real, and he is still above him.

With his current level, even Tomoshio's real guard, Sojiro Seda, is not below him. There is also the lord of the royal court who defected, Si Naisen Cangzi, who is also of the same level. The shogunate period has passed, but the swordsmen of that area are still there. They are simply overshadowed by the times. Udo Bladeguard, your pain does not come from the sword, but from this era. ”

"You don't look like a swordsman, more like one of those new-age politicians. I admit that what you say makes a lot of sense, but that doesn't change my mind. I'll kill Drawer, then find the swordsmen you spoke of and knock them all down. Of course, I will remember your guidance. ”

“.…..” Lu Qiming's face was helpless. Having said all this, it still doesn't seem to have sanitized my resolve to fight. My mouth cannon is really not hot enough. In this kind of daily comics, they can't even move.

"As I said, you chose the wrong target. It's not that you've chosen the wrong person. It's that your options are simply too small. Kill a person, even the strongest swordsman, what can you do? That doesn't change the fact that the era of swordsmen has declined. If you really want to prove your kendo, why not choose a bigger goal? ”

"The bigger goal, do you want me to kill the prime minister? He's just an ordinary person who can't be restrained, and there's no point in killing him. Anyway, the new government will elect a new one. ”

"Huh." Lu Qiming let out a laugh that made the Pelican Blade Guard a little uneasy.

"Killing a person doesn't change anything. No matter how important a person is, it doesn't make much difference. Unless you can kill ...... A country. ”

"A country?" At this moment, the Udo Blade Guard was really shocked by the guy in front of him.

"Yes, you think your kendo can't be proven? You feel like your time has gone by. The best way to prove that is to use the sword in your hand to turn it all around. Let the era of swordsmen return. Let your glory walk in the world openly. ”

"Do you know what you're talking about? The new government of the country has stabilized, and with one man with a sword, it is simply impossible to reverse it. ”

"Why can't it be. The establishment of the new government was based on numerous murders and betrayals. It is filled with endless blood and darkness in its bones. The world only saw his bright side. But never really understood the darkness beneath that new light. This kind of government is not as strong as you think. With a little push, it can be completely defeated. ”

"I'm starting to get interested. But no matter what you say, it's definitely not something that one person can do. But you look like you already have a plan. ”

"The plan itself doesn't do anything. He also needs enough strength to cooperate. I don't have that power, so it's all just talk. You are different, you have force strong enough to be able to carry out any planned force. ”

"Hahahaha, I see. Interesting, you're soliciting me. Do you want me to work for you? In the shogunate era, swordsmen like us would always find a master. Those daimyo, nobles. But what are you? A wandering merchant living in a rural ashram? Don't be so surprised, I also tracked down your information. What capital do you have, let me follow you. What's more, your life is even in my hands. ”

"Every time the times change, the old system is broken. New systems will rise. We're all the ones who missed the last shuffle. But if we can create a new reshuffle. That origin will no longer matter. Because then we'll be the ones who make the rules. ”

"It's a lot of noise. I'll admit that you probably do have something. But that's not enough to make me loyal to you. Not even enough to save your life. Something real, my sword is running out of steam. ”

Lu Qiming's heart rolled back and forth with 10,000 slots. It's obviously a comic world, why is my mouth cannon useless? After spending so much tongue, I couldn't even save my life. Seeing that the Udo Blade Guard had pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword. Lu Qiming could only speak again.

"Okay. Let me go into a little more detail. The Zhi Zhixiong I mentioned earlier is real and is already in action. He has secretly assembled a group of wandering samurai, and has also purchased a large number of weapons from the United States, preparing to start a war to overthrow the new government. I am confident that the remnants of the shogunate will fully support him. And he is now hiding in the shadows, and if he does it, the new government will definitely suffer a big loss.

The other is Takeda Kanyanagi, the richest man in Kyoto. He took in wandering samurai and secretly trained firearms privateers. The intent is clear. He has a very well-established smuggling channel at sea, and is able to secretly raise all kinds of American-style arms and ammunition. There are also huge advantages. Of course, you may know the latter one? ”

"Are you trying to get me to one of them? I have never worked for these forces. My sword is free. Takeda Kanyanagi is just a shield that can make me hold a sword openly. ”

"No, we don't need to go to either side. We are the fourth party, the fourth party that takes advantage of the situation. (Chi Chi Woong's real side, Takeda Kanyanagi's side, the new government's side, and the protagonist's side.) It's low to say this, but if you don't say it, someone will ask. ）”

It must be us, the art of talking, Lu Qiming still knows. Unconsciously, you must turn yourself and the other side into a united front.
