Chapter 4: Drawing the Sword

At a hot spring bath in Kyoto, Megumi Takahari is bathing alone in a private room. There isn't much entertainment to enjoy in this era. This natural hot spring, drawn from a distant mountainous area, is a high-end treat in Kyoto.

However, at this time, Gao Hehui has no time to enjoy the hot springs. Instead, he quietly looked at a note in his hand. This is the man I met before, when he handed over the tomatoes, he stuffed them into his hands. Strangely, Gao Hehui was sure that she didn't know him.

And the content of the note made her feel extremely uneasy. Two sentences were written on the note.

One sentence is: "The day you succeed in the research of new drugs is the date of your death." ”

The other sentence is a time address, and she will meet at a teahouse in Kyoto within two days.

Kanyanagi Takeda asked her to research a new type of drug, which was top secret. In addition to her and a few assistants, there are only five people in the entire Takeda Group who know about it. But the other party directly named the matter. And the implication is that she is about to succeed.

Gao Hehui has been following Takeda Kanyanagi for several years. I know each other very well. Takeda Kanyanagi is deep in thought and ruthless. There is no morality in doing things, as long as the goal can be achieved, he will not hesitate to use any means. In the past few years, Gao Hehui has seen more than twenty of his subordinates executed.

She is his woman, and she thinks she looks pretty good. Takeda Kanyanagi has always been very good to her. But how can there be a shortage of women around Takeda Kanyanagi. It's not impossible to kill yourself. The subordinates who died before were not women without him. Thinking about it like this, Gao Hehui became even more uneasy.

Lu Qiming finished his work and walked back with the basket. And halfway through, I met a man wearing a red kimono with a light and steady step.

Walking on the streets with knives in place for many years with knives. Although he wears a straw hat, the staggered scars on his immature face are still very conspicuous. There is no doubt that that guy is the protagonist of the whole story, the thousand people nicknamed Drawing Sword Zhai, Kenshin of the Scarlet Village. At the moment, the other party is picking fruit at a fruit stand. At this time, he seemed to feel something, and suddenly raised his head and glanced in the direction of Lu Qiming.

This made Lu Qiming panic. That guy is worthy of being the most talented top swordsman in the whole story. I just looked at him from a distance, and he would even be aware of it. In a panic, he gathered his mind and focused his gaze on the knife on the opponent's waist. After all, traveling with a knife at this time is a reasonable point to attract attention.

Kenshin Kagemura was stunned for a moment, as if realizing that his sword was a little conspicuous. He smiled a little awkwardly, and then gently motioned to Lu Qiming not to make a noise. The whole person looks like a harmless big boy. Lu Qiming also laughed, and then walked past him carelessly.

Scarlet Village looked at Lu Qiming's back and hesitated for a while. When Lu Qiming walked past him, his heartbeat fluctuated significantly. This is a red flag, and it is very likely that the other party has already recognized him. But Scarlet Village Ken thought about it for a moment and didn't follow. He had already decided to go into seclusion, and he was not willing to delve into such trivial matters.

Lu Qiming returned to the Shengu Dojo without any danger. I just felt like my back was soaked with sweat. Fortunately, the interpretation of Kenshin in the Scarlet Village on the movie is quite correct, and he does have the intention of going into hiding.

Back at the dojo, Lu Qiming began to wash clothes, clean the yard as usual, and then prepare dinner. Dinner is usually very early, because electricity is not yet widely available, in order to save money. Kaoru Kamiya rarely lights candles. Generally, you have to rest when it gets dark and get up before dawn the next day. It perfectly shows what it means to go to bed early and get up early.

Lu Qiming does not reject this kind of life, and even has some enjoyment. But every time in the dead of night, look at the watch in his hand, and the task prompt on it alerts him, this is in the main god space. It's all true, and I'm just a passerby. I will face more dangerous worlds in the future.

Kaoru Kamiya can't cook, or the level is good enough to be maintained at the level of an immortal. Lu Qiming is actually very ordinary, but he has been working alone for many years, and he knows how to cook.

Braised that sea fish and made a spiced eggplant. Serve with a pot of rice and dinner is ready. Kaoru Kamiya eats very happily, the difference in the foundation of this apprentice is unprecedented. But fortunately, the perseverance is good, and this cooking skill is really satisfactory to her.

The next day, Lu Qiming went to the street again to buy groceries. Only this time, as soon as I arrived at the market, I found that the whole market was in chaos. A large number of people are running wildly. The screams, mixed with the sound of sirens (a kind of police whistle), make people feel like they are in a war.

"What's going on?" Lu Qiming grabbed an old man casually and asked.

"Kill someone, draw a knife and fast, and start killing. Several cops have died. He's coming this way, run, right? ”

"Draw the sword? Lu Qiming was stunned for a moment, and then remembered the original plot. The killer should be Udo Blade, a swordsman who pursues self-worth. Because of the establishment of the new government, the ban on swords, and the suppression of the samurai class, many former swordsmen lost their purpose in life. The Udo Blade Guard is one of them. He longed to use his sword to create a legend in this era of the decline of samurai.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to kill innocents indiscriminately, and at the same time claimed to draw out the sword, in order to draw out the sword heart of the Scarlet Village and fight to the death with the other party. Even want to die under the sword of the other party. In Lu Qiming's opinion, this guy has gone a little crazy. And he is a thug who is named under Takeda Kanyanagi. But basically, it doesn't take it seriously, and most of the time it's about planning your own business. In the movie, when Kenshin killed Takeda Kanyanagi's house, this guy didn't even show up and slipped away. In order to kidnap Kaoru Kamiya and let Kenshin fight him to the death.

Thinking of this, Lu Qiming turned around and ran. Despite the fact that Udo Bladeguard is a top swordsman. But not a good thigh. Lu Qiming had no intention of reaching out to the other party at such a time. Even if he knew the weakness of the other party's heart, according to the strength of the other party, it is estimated that he was killed before he could speak.

Avoid the wet market and run wildly. Lu Qiming stopped and took a breath. I've run a long way, and I feel like I'm fine.

"Lu Jun, what's going on. I heard that the sword was drawn up, where is he? A voice sounded in front of him, and when he looked up, it was Kaoru Kamiya. She was armed with a wooden sword, and she looked like she was going to eliminate harm for the people.

Lu Qiming's face hurt. The level of this cheap master, I also know something. There are definitely swordsmanship. With a wooden sword in hand, it is not a problem to beat yourself three or five. But this girl has never experienced a life-and-death struggle at all. If she really wants to fight to the death, it is estimated that those samurai wandering on the street will be able to outperform her.

The key is to hold a wooden sword, and you have to go to the legendary thousand people to cut the sword. I don't know if she looks down on Drawing a Knife Zhai, or if she thinks too highly of herself. Udo Blade Guard is a top swordsman at the same level as Scarlet Village Kenshin. It is estimated that Lu Qiming and Kaoru Kamiya combined, they can't hold up for five seconds.

"You...... ......"Lu Qiming was just about to open his mouth to persuade him. But the next second he was stunned. Then his face changed dramatically. A sentence blurted out.

Kaoru Kamiya frowned.

"Don't swear, Lu Jun. Do you even see the sword drawn? ”

“…… I see it. ”

"Where."

"Right behind you......"
