As he spoke, the emperor looked at the letter written by Fan Zhuoyuan to him, which did not directly agree to join forces, but only told the emperor that the Yuan army had its own strategy for conquering Japan and would not be affected by the outside world.

How to choose, let the emperor decide for himself.

If you want to fight, under the sword, the royal family is no different from the common people.

I saw that Emperor Kameyama's face turned black and he clenched his fists tightly.

"Your Majesty, what did he say in his letter?"

The Emperor threw the letter to the messenger, who picked it up and looked at it, his face pale.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, don't lose a big one because of a small one, no matter how Fan Zhuoyuan is, he is just a martial artist, it is normal to be arrogant and arrogant, we must not go against it, and he has promised to guarantee His Majesty's status. ”

Emperor Kameyama said calmly, "You are right! However, his tough attitude has always made me feel uneasy.

First contact the wealthy families who are close to the royal family in, no matter how small the power in the troubled times is, I have to be in my own hands, even if I sell, I have to sell myself at a high price! ”

The emperor's letters soon spread throughout the region, as far as Ise, Mino, Echizen, and other areas near Kanto.

A large number of wealthy families who did not obey the shogunate's orders immediately decided to go to Kyoto to support His Majesty the Emperor's move.

And the Ami Jiyin of Harima Kokuho Yazan Ichijoji Temple also received a letter from the emperor, as the former number one swordsman in Japan, even if he has become a monk and is eighty years old, he still has a prestige that is difficult for others to achieve.

In the cave, Ciyin read the letter with one hand, picked up the stones on the ground at random with the other hand and threw them at Kagami Ren, who was practicing with a quartz knife not far away.

Each stone is thrown with internal force, which is both fast and heavy.

Kagami Ren must use a quartz knife to slash head-on, otherwise if he passively blocks with the blade, it is very easy to be broken by the stone, after all, the quartz knife itself is hard, but the texture is quite brittle.

Ciyin's hands were fired continuously, and Kagami Ren held the knife in one hand, and with the change of rhythm, he continued to chop, and even smashed all the more than 30 stones that were ejected within a few breaths.

There was no stone beside Ciyin, and she put down the letter and nodded slightly.

"Compared with the previous period of time, there is a lot of progress, today there is no leakage, and there is no break of the quartz knife, which is a preliminary entry."

Jingjing Ren said: "Master, I feel that my strength and internal strength have increased recently, this quartz knife is so heavy, and now it is like a finger, can I start cultivating that sword?" ”

Ciyin laughed and said, "That sword? Do you think that sword will be able to kill the commander you said? ”

"Master! If you can't even kill him with your sword, I'm afraid there will be no more martial arts in this world that can kill him! ”

Ciyin sighed and said, "I can only say that he can't stop that sword, but I don't say that that sword alone can kill him." ”

"Master?"

Ciyin said, "Wait until you can practice the quartz knife to the point where you are as proficient as your Taidao skills." Because there is no other way for you to create the opportunity to use that sword than this method. ”

Hearing this, Jing Jingren instantly understood what the master wanted to express, so he nodded solemnly.

Ciyin took the letter and said, "From His Majesty the Emperor." ”

"His Majesty the Emperor? Did he invite Master to go down the mountain with him to assist the Shogunate army in their fight against the Motoko? ”

Ciyin smiled: "No, it's an invitation to go to the national disaster and defend Kyoto." In addition to us, there were also wealthy families from all over the world, as well as famous kendo masters from all over Japan. ”

Kagami Ren nodded and said, "Our samurai family was originally loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, so naturally we should go to Kyoto to serve." ”

"Well, the gathering of kendo masters from all over Japan has not been such a prosperous era for a long time, and it is also conducive to the kendo practice of your senior brothers."

Jingjing Ren shook his head and said, "Master, at the moment of foreign enemies, we should put the national disaster first. ”

Ciyin suddenly asked, "Ah Ren, have you seen those merchants and people who came from Kyushu?" ”

Kagami Ren was shocked, he already knew what the master wanted to say, after all, he had seen with his own eyes what the life of the common people and merchants under the rule of Yuan Kou was!

"Master, although it is true that Yuankou has implemented benevolent government in the occupied areas that is beneficial to the people, this is even more digging into the roots of our Japan! When the people agree with them and don't agree with us, I am afraid that Japan will really be destroyed. ”

Ciyin smiled but didn't speak.

Kagami Ren hurriedly said, "Master! As long as the Yuan Kou is expelled, after this lesson, it is presumable that both the samurai family and the public family will try their best to treat the people well, so as to consolidate the national power! ”

Ciyin shook her head slightly, "No, they will only increase the exploitation of the people more unscrupulously."

Forget it, there's no point in saying this, you go back and pack up and go to Kyoto with your teacher. ”

Hitoshi Kagami looked puzzled, he knew that what his master said was right, and what Hatsuhime and her father had experienced was enough to explain everything.

Maybe Japan will really be better if it is handed over to Yuankou to rule?

He shook his head quickly, allowing himself to let go of this dangerous thought.

At this time, he may not know that he is not too obsessed with whether the Yuan army will capture Japan.

The only obsession is to kill Fan Zhuoyuan and avenge his dead friend and the young Dazai who trusted him.

After Kagami Ren left, Ciyin accelerated the plucking beads in his hand, and unconsciously, he actually pinched all the prayer beads into powder.

Ciyin watched the wind blow the powder away, sighed, and said to herself, "That sword can't pass on to him......"

Suddenly, his expression became hideous, and he said, "But among all the disciples, he is the least concerned and the most suitable for cultivation!" ”

Ciyin's expression changed violently, and he struggled frantically in his heart, and finally regained his kindness again, and said: "The demonic nature in the sword is so heavy, and I haven't been able to completely suppress it after decades of practice in front of the Buddha, how can I teach him?" ”

……

Storms are frequent from June to September, and storms at sea do not stop until October.

At this time, the system suddenly releases the latest task:

"Mission: Destroy Japan in four months!

Achievement conditions: 1. Capture the emperor's entire family;

2. Destroy the Kamakura shogunate army;

3. Kill the shogunate ruling Hojo Tokimune.

Rewards: 50,000 proficiency points for achieving one or three goals, and 60,000 for reaching the second goal, for a total of 160,000 proficiency points. ”

Seeing this new task, Fan Zhuoyuan knew that he could no longer wait for the results of the training, and at this time, the 80,000 army was leading the new with the old, and the combat effectiveness had not declined.

In the past few months, he has used the copper ore stocks on Kyushu Island to build copper cannons and expand his armaments, and his strength is more sufficient than before, and it is not impossible to destroy Japan in four months.

Fan Zhuoyuan immediately prepared to lead the troops to continue the conquest of Japan, and his father Fan Wenhu had also arrived in Dazaifu at this time.

Fan Wenhu told Fan Zhuoyuan that on the day the storm had just stopped, he had sent messengers to the court to report on the situation of the battle, and it was also to invite merit in case the retreating generals of the Eastern Route Army were falsely accused.

After Fan Zhuoyuan listened, he calculated the time in his heart.

It would take at least nearly two months for the envoy to cross the sea and then return to the capital by land.

The Yuan Court will discuss the military situation internally, decide on a strategy against Japan, and then send troops or Qin to send over, which will take at least two months.

In this way, four months round trip, exactly the same time as the task deadline stipulated by the system!

Fan Zhuoyuan didn't know if the system had the ability to predict the future, in short, he had to conquer Japan as soon as possible before the arrival of the imperial envoy and win the merit of destroying the country.

In this way, no one in the imperial court, which attached great importance to military merits, could compete with him for merit, and he also gained a certain political status in the country for the southerners, who had always been discriminated against by the north.

The most important thing is that only by putting the destruction of Japan in front of the imperial court can Japan establish a foundation at an early date.
