Chapter XI

In the Kamiya Dojo, Lu Qiming has resumed training. This time, he worked harder than before, and he could even be called deadly. Before the heart of the party, although he did not say anything on the surface. But in reality, it is a situation of nine deaths and one life. No matter how he gets to grips with the situation. A lot of people in this game, if not everyone, are people who can kill him with a wave of his hand.

This made Lu Qiming always have a huge sense of grievance in his heart, even a sense of fear. If it were possible, he would never be willing to use such complex means to plot. He also wanted to push all the way through, whoever is out of control, just cut it down with a sword. But the truth is, he can't even beat Kaoru Kamiya.

His desperate training was not expected to be able to comprehend the peerless sword skills in the past few days, and then suppress everything by force, but this kind of desperate training could give him a little psychological comfort. At least I tried.

"Okay Lu, let's stop here today. Your body hasn't fully recovered yet, so you don't need to work so hard. ”

Lu Qiming put away the wooden sword in his hand as he said, and then went out to buy vegetables with the vegetable basket as usual. And not long after he went out, he felt that he was being targeted. As he walked down the alley, the Udo Blade appeared behind him.

"According to you, I have explored all the suspicious locations, and I have to say, your analysis is very reasonable. There are three obvious problems. Not only are there more than one layer of camouflage, but there are also some dangerous people guarding it. It's probably the secret vault you said. However, in order not to startle the snake, I did not confirm it with my own eyes. ”

"There's no need, it's not the time yet. We also need the cooperation of the other side to carry out the final action. ”

"The other side?"

"Kyoto Police Department."

"What can all that shit do?"

"Hehe, don't underestimate the power of the government. The new government is already halfway through the penetration rate of firearms. Once they are serious, there is absolutely no chance that a mere Takeda Kanliu will survive. ”

"But for so many years, they haven't done it. Takeda Kanyanagi may have already bought off the big names within the government. What can the National Police Agency do alone? ”

"It takes a lot of interest to buy off the top of a government. Because human nature is greedy. And this greed is not only manifested in individuals, but also in the reformers within the government, who are greedy groups. They implemented the New Deal in a big way, but the resources at their hands were far from enough. And now, there is a rich resource in front of them, do you think they will let it go? ”

"I see, you probed Takeda Kanyanagi's vault for this? You really give up those riches. That could be millions of new yen. If I make a move, it won't be a problem for us to get one of the vaults. The Pelican Blade Guard was a little amazed at Lu Qiming's decisiveness. He had never seen anyone who could casually abandon such a large fortune in his life. You know, even he has been practicing swords for many years.

"Money is also a huge temptation for me. But if you want more, you have to know how to give up some immediate benefits. Okay, now that the key cards are in hand, we can go to negotiations. ”

It's still the same restaurant, and this time Fujita has been waiting there in advance. When Lu Qiming entered the restaurant with Udo Blade Guard, Fujita was obviously stunned for a moment.

He is also a top swordsman, and the first time he saw the Udo Blade Guard, he felt the murderous aura of his peers. That guy is a master who is not weaker than him. And the other party obviously came with that mysterious guy. This made Fujita, who originally had some careful thoughts, instantly suppress all his careful thoughts.

"I met Mr. Fujita again."

"I thought you weren't coming back, Mr. Lu."

"I'm a person, nothing else. But credibility is still okay. This is the essence of our business. Now that Mr. Fujita is here, I'm sure I've already verified the clues I gave. Lu Qiming sat down and ordered a cup of tea. Then he slowly began to drink.

Fujita waited for a long time, and saw that Lu Qiming didn't mean to take the initiative to speak. You can only start this conversation yourself.

"I verified the message you gave. Most of it is true. But unfortunately, the above is still hesitating. ”

"You are the police, they are criminals, the evidence is right in front of you, and you are still hesitating?"

"Yes, Takeda has too many people. On the dock alone, there were more than sixty armed guards. And most of them were armed with muskets. The police had to assemble at least a musket squad of 200 men to be able to attack head-on. And those warehouses, laboratories. We don't have enough people. Support from the military is needed. But the military does not seem to want to get involved in the operation. There's a lot of political contention. Takeda's political influence is far beyond our imagination. ”

"That's true. If his drug trafficking business can be so big, he must have a strong political patronage. However, those who provide asylum are only interested in profit. So, just give them a higher benefit. ”

"Higher interests. IMHO, the Kyoto Police Department is far less rich than Takeda Kanyanagi. We can't give more benefits. ”

"Huh." Lu Qiming chuckled, then picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Seeing that Lu Qiming's expression was slightly ridiculous, Fujita suddenly understood. He stood up excitedly.

"Do you have a solution to this?"

"Don't get excited, Mr. Fujita. If you want to solve this problem, you need to solve it from Takeda Kanyanagi. ”

Fujita reacted quickly and suddenly understood.

"Do you know where Takeda hid his money? The money in the bank is only a small part of his property. We suspected early on that he had his own secret vault. But the exact location was never found. ”

"yes, you can imagine how hard it is to find a place that you can't even find." Lu Qiming did not answer positively, but came to such a sentence. Fujita calmed down suddenly. Obviously, Lu Qiming will not provide this news for free. The other party has spent so much effort, and he must have asked for something.

"What do you want?"

"It looks like we're finally moving to the next stage of our conversation."

………………

After ending the conversation with Fujita, Lu Qiming immediately began to prepare. All of Takeda Kanyanagi's belongings, even for the military, are a huge amount of money. Just looking at Fujita's expression, it was absolutely impossible for them to resist this temptation. And once the army intervenes, Lu Qiming estimates that he won't get a single steel hammer.

Inside a temple in Kyoto. A group of homeless men in tattered clothes and thin yellow faces are gathering here. But these people aren't really homeless. At least each of them has a sword. It's not a good sword, but it's a qualified samurai sword. Because it's a group of wandering samurai.

Most of these people are family martial arts, and they have inherited the family sword, and they are ready to continue to serve a noble daimyo. But overnight, all those nobles fell. With the advent of the new century, a ban on swords made all the samurai instantly become invalids.

No one dared to hire them anymore, and these people had no means of livelihood at all except swordsmanship. Most people are reluctant to abandon their swords and become a fisherman's apprentice or something. Thus, a peculiar group was formed. A declining group of wandering samurai.

If no one intervenes, these people will eventually disappear over time. Starve to death on the streets, or put down your sword and learn a craft to earn a living.

But now, someone is interfering. Lu Qiming walked into the temple with the Pelican Blade Guard. Face more than thirty wandering swordsmen. Lu Qiming glanced at his mouth slightly.

"Does anyone want a job? The work of the samurai. ”
