CHAPTER XXXI

After Lu Qiming finished speaking, there was silence in the entire carriage. Various expressions flashed across Ito's face. He instinctively refuted Lu Qiming's absurd story. But when you think about it, it seems to make sense.

Why did a Qing merchant who traveled across the ocean suddenly set Kyoto on fire? The other party is well-planned, ruthless, and obviously a professional. If it is said that the hidden stake of that country, it is really possible.

"Lu Jun, I want to know. Why is all this? Your boss, why did he suddenly wake you up. Why you want to burn Kyoto, all this is not clear. Our two countries have always been good friends. I don't believe you would receive such an order? ”

"The two countries are on good terms?? Are you sure? From the previous dynasty and even earlier, those ronins in your country were the biggest hidden danger in the entire Qing country. You have invaded our country, you have killed people, you have plundered your goods, you have done all kinds of evil. Our two countries have been at war for hundreds of years. We were never friends.

Just as when you were ambitious and lustful for that land. We are watching you too. We know the transformation of this country and know your ambitions. And I have been tasked not with burning Kyoto, but with destroying your pace of change. Burning Kyoto is just my means. After all, burning down a country's most prosperous city will always hurt the country's origins. ”

Lu Qiming used a relaxed tone to say something that made Ito Hirofumi shiver. The current Ito Hirobumi is still a progressive young man, far from being the animal who will do whatever it takes to get to the top in later generations. He couldn't even keep up with Lu Qiming's thoughts for a while. When he came back to his senses, when he looked at Lu Qiming, he already had a different look. Even the ghost who didn't say a word on the side and pretended to be cold couldn't help but glance at Lu Qiming several times.

"Suppose what you say is true. Well, now tell me about your accomplices. I don't need those ronin names. I'm going to be the one who planned it all with you. Your resources, sources of intelligence. I want to know everything. ”

"Nobody knows everything, and I've only talked to a handful of my peers. We're all in the dark, and we don't fully trust each other. But if you want to find more hidden stakes like me. Then I can tell you a basic rule. Anyone whose ancestors have lived in the Qing Kingdom, or who have been to the Qing Kingdom themselves, may be our people. ”

"This can't be? It is impossible for everyone to betray their country. ”

"Nothing is impossible. Look at your place? If it's in the Qing Kingdom, you can't burn down any city like this. You know why? Because we build houses out of stone and brick. In the eyes of that nation, you are like a bunch of uncivilized monkeys. Few of those who have seen real prosperity can resist that temptation. It was a temptation to go from a monkey to a human. ”

Ito Hirofumi looked at Lu Qiming quietly for more than ten seconds, and then suddenly laughed.

"Very interesting, Lu Jun, your story is very attractive. But unfortunately, you can't fool me. I know that most of what you say is probably true. But the key point in it must be fake. Nine true and one false, this is the usual routine of spies. But don't worry, I won't continue to ask. Because soon someone else will come and ask you. When the time comes, you won't be able to answer like this, and believe me, it's going to be very uncomfortable. ”

Lu Qiming's heart burst into mmp. But nothing can be done about it. Because what he did was too much, it is estimated that any public official in Dongying would be eager to pluck his skin when he saw him.

Lu Qiming couldn't help but think in his heart, hoping to find a new way to live. But helplessly, his IQ seems to have been used up in the burning of Tokyo. And the situation is extremely simple. One carriage, three people. As long as he can control Hirobumi Ito, there is a silver lining.

But it is this simple situation that is the most inexplicable. Because the swordsman next to Ito Hirobumi was used to fight against Kenshin Krumura. Kenshin used to be the killer of the government, so the people sent by the government were naturally at the same level as him. In front of a swordsman of this level, Lu Qiming had no hope at all. And he doesn't think he'll necessarily be able to beat Hirobumi Ito.

Just when Lu Qiming was a little desperate, a scolding sound came from the mouth of the carriage driver in front.

"Get out of the way, this is the government department's car."

Lu Qiming's heart moved. In Toying, there is a strict hierarchy. Ordinary people will definitely avoid the carriage quickly, because those who ride in the carriage generally can't afford to provoke. So......

As soon as the thoughts passed, a scream came out. Apparently something happened. However, what made Lu Qiming's egg hurt was that the swordsman named Ghost Cut next to him did not move at all. And Ito Hirobumi's actions made him grit his teeth even more. Because the other party did not issue any orders at random, but directly pulled out a pistol and pointed it at Lu Qiming.

"Lu Jun, it looks like you haven't finished playing your cards yet."

"Maybe. People like us always have to keep a little bit of our hole cards. "Lu Qiming had no idea what was going on outside. I can only hold on hard. I hope that the people outside can give a little more strength and create more chaos. At least let the gloomy guy next to him go.

Screams kept coming from outside. Apparently, there were a large number of casualties. In this operation, a total of more than a dozen people participated. In addition to Hirofumi Ito, as well as Ghost Kiriri. There were also twelve soldiers, front and rear guards. On the carriage in front, there should also be several high-ranking swordsmen.

But Lu Qiming obviously felt that they couldn't hold it anymore. And at this time, the ghost cut, who had been holding his guard with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.

When he moved, Ito Hirobumi also became nervous. This royal swordsman has a very high vision, and he basically won't make a move until the critical moment. Now that the other party has suddenly entered a state of readiness, it means that the situation outside is not very good.

Sure enough, Ghost Cut's right hand slowly raised and pressed it on the hilt of the sword on his waist. For a while, an extremely cold murderous aura filled the entire carriage. The other party is worthy of the name of the ghost, and this cold feeling is indeed extremely vivid.

The sword light that was extremely fast suddenly flashed in front of Lu Qiming's eyes. He didn't see how the other party drew his sword at all. I only felt a flower in front of me, and the entire carriage was instantly turned into pieces. At the same time, there was the sound of swords colliding for an unknown number of times.

At this time, Lu Qiming finally saw the situation off the court. Most of the soldiers had fallen, and the remaining three were being hunted by a blindfolded swordsman. There were several people on the field who were facing each other. A swordsman with a fierce face and a pair of swords, one entangled the two swordsmen in the carriage in front of him. And Oni Kiri is entangled with another figure.

Lu Qiming's eyes changed slightly, and he understood who was coming. Holding two swords and two more on his back, there is only one swordsman in the entire Rogue Kenshin world who is in this shape. Among the ten swords, a swordsman named Knife Hunting. The other blindfolded swordsman was undoubtedly the Blind Sword. Another of the ten knives.

As for the figure fighting with the ghost, Lu Qiming was a little weak. Because both sides were so fast, so fast that he couldn't see the person's appearance clearly until now. It's just that I can probably guess that the other party should be the head of the ten swords, the title of the heavenly sword Sojiro Seda.

As expected, Zhi Zhixiong really set his sights on himself.
