Chapter 9: Joining forces
CHAPTER IX
When Lu Qiming woke up again, he felt that his spirit had recovered a little. There was no one in the room, but there was some food at the head of the bed. Very delicate sushi, rice porridge and fish soup. At a glance, you can see that it must not have been made by your own cheap master. It is estimated that Kenshin did it.
At this moment, someone pushed the door and entered. Lu Qiming looked up and found that the person who came turned out to be Scarlet Village Kenshin.
"Are you feeling better?"
"It's not good, it feels like it's hollowed out."
“.…..” Kenshin obviously doesn't understand this stalk. But he obviously didn't come to greet him specifically.
"I've heard of the heart of the Udo Bladeguard. Even some swordsmen who become famous may not be able to survive. You are not a swordsman and have not received the slightest training. But you survived. It takes a very strong will. ”
"Will? Perhaps. But I think I'm just too scared to die. Because I was so afraid of death, I desperately wanted to survive. Eventually, I survived. ”
Kenshin didn't speak, just looked at Lu Qiming quietly. Although, he doesn't have that kind of mental attack in his heart. But the sword fast, which is known as the slashing of thousands of people, still brings huge pressure to Lu Qiming. Fortunately, it only took less than a minute for him to rein in his momentum.
"My gut tells me that you are hiding a huge secret. But I also believe that everyone has their own secrets. As long as your secret doesn't hurt Miss Smoke, I don't care what you want to do. ”
There is no doubt that compared to the simple Kaoru Kamiya, a top swordsman born as a government killer like Kenshin Scarlet Village, can see through what Lu Qiming is planning at a glance. However, as Lu Qiming expected, he didn't really want to be nosy, he just didn't want Kaoru Kamiya to be hurt. The two have only been together for a day, and they have already hooked up. Lu Qiming expressed disdain for this.
Because of his injuries, Lu Qiming was able to rest for a few days. But eventually the training started again. This time, Kaoru Kamiya increased the amount of training. At the same time, he began to gradually teach some basic swordsmanship.
Kamiya's swordsmanship, although it is an unpopular swordsmanship in the original book. It is also inherited from the Mu era, and there are names and surnames of swordsmanship. For a novice like Lu Qiming, it is enough.
Kenshin still acts as a humanoid washing machine in the yard. I don't know what the hell this guy thinks. He is full of earth-shattering swordsmanship, but he is willing to hide in the yard and wash clothes. As usual, he would sometimes observe Lu Qiming's training, but never spoke. Lu Qiming didn't force it, and after that night, he knew that Kenshin regarded him as a deep-minded person. The two of them may not be friends anymore. In fact, what Lu Qiming is doing is destined to follow him.
Ten days have finally arrived, and today is the day to meet Gao Hehui. This is the most crucial part of Luk's plan. If Gao Hehui fails, he will have to replan. But the nearly a month that was lost before was all in vain.
Fortunately, Gao Hehui did not disappoint him. Although this woman does not have many roles in the original book. But it can be seen from the way he committed himself to his enemies to survive. She is definitely a ruthless character in her bones. IQ is also definitely above the horizon.
"Where's the stuff?" The two met again in the teahouse.
Gao Hehui stuffed a sachet into Lu Qiming's hand.
"This is the evidence of the crime that I collected from Takeda Kanyanagi. and the course of action of Takeda Kanyanagi for ten days. I marked in detail all the routes he had taken. There's also the change in his mood that you want. But there could be no more. Even though I've subdued all my assistants, Takeda Kanyanagi is starting to get impatient. I'll put it off for another five to ten days at most. If you want to do something, do it. If I'm exposed, you won't be able to escape. ”
"It's five days. After five days, I need to do some preparation. Trust me, we'll make it. ”
"I hope so."
Back at home, Lu Qiming began to prepare. A simple statistical study that counts all the routes traveled by Takeda Kanyanagi. Then find the intersection of them. Obviously, Takeda Kanliu used a trick because Lu Qiming finally found a full five intersections. This was a bit difficult, and he promised Gao Hehui to do it in five days. But if he couldn't identify Takeda Kanyanagi's small treasury, he wouldn't be able to push his plan forward at all.
After thinking about it, Lu Qiming walked out of the dojo and went to the alley where he almost died that day. The place is still like that, and it has not changed in the slightest because Lu Qiming almost died. Lu Qiming walked back and forth twice, and finally sat down where he almost died, waiting silently.
After a while, he heard footsteps behind him. It barely took him to look back, and he knew that the person he was waiting for had arrived.
"It really surprised me. You actually survived. It seems like you're not just talking about it, you do have something about it. Say, what do you want to do? Are you here just to wait for me? ”
"Indeed, I have already started my plan. But there is a lack of force in the plan. I think you're a good fit, so I'm waiting for you here. If you and I join forces, I think you promise that you will have a chance to kill a country with your own hands. ”
"Let's talk about it. But first, I don't know much about Takeda Kanyanagi. I'm just a name, and occasionally help him kill someone. I never bothered with specific things. You don't get useful information from me. "The Udo Bladeguard is clearly tempted.
"I don't need your information, I've got a few locations here. I'm sure one or more of them are Takeda Kanyanagi's secret vaults. But I am limited in my ability to determine the reality of the truth. I need a master to do this. Determine which one is the real vault. ”
"Spending so much effort just for money? Do you think I'm going to sell my swordsmanship for money? ”
"It is true that money cannot buy a good swordsman, but it can buy a good sword, and a real sword can attract a real swordsman. If you want to kill a country, you need a lot of resources. In addition to your sword, I need to prepare a lot of things. And these things, you can't do without money. ”
"You have a point. How much do you want. I can't bring a lot of them. Money is such a thing as corrupting a swordsman's heart and making us weak. ”
"Hehe, your mind is so personal. It's not time for us to take the money, you just need to decide on the location. If possible, take a little sample. If you want, we'll meet here in three days. ”
"You're such a strange person. Let me see what exactly you want to do. By the way, it only takes two days. The Pelican Blade Guard took Lu Qiming's address and turned to leave.
Lu Qiming stood still for a while, then got up and walked in the other direction. Soon after, Lu Qiming went to a special place, the Kyoto Police Department.
