In the courtyard, Tokugawa Zotaka sprinkled fish food into the pond, watching the fish compete for food, one by one to the surface, the "pop, pop" fish tail slapping sound endlessly, ripples on the water surface, swaying green lotus leaves.

Tokugawa Zotaka laughed.

"What are you laughing at?"

Zhou Ming walked out of the shadows step by step, and walked to Tokugawa Zotaka with a strong bloody aura.

The fish in the pond seemed to feel the arrival of natural enemies, and they scattered in a hurry, all of them sank to the bottom of the water, and the water on the surface of the pool rippled, gradually becoming clear, and became a dead silence.

"You see, these fish are like the people of the world!"

Tokugawa Zotaka sprinkled all the remaining fish food into the water at any time, but this time none of the fish dared to float up and grab it.

"Grace is near, power is far, kindness is embracing, and being fierce is fearful. Zhou Jun, what do you think about governing the world? ”

“……”

Zhou Ming didn't speak, and slowly pulled out the long knife at his waist.

"I'm not interested in governing the world, but I'm very interested in the chaotic world, because ...... Fish in muddy waters. ”

The knife fell on Tokugawa Zoraka's shoulder, and Zhou Ming said lightly: "If you have any last words, let's say it now." ”

Tokugawa Zotaka looked at Zhou Ming steadily, and suddenly seemed to understand something, and sighed: "It turns out that you are not a samurai." ”

Zhou Ming sneered: "I never said I was a samurai."

"Seemingly, there's not much more to say." Tokugawa Zotaka sighed, took the initiative to lean towards the blade, and with a light stroke, cut his throat.

Blood gushed out.

Poof!

Tokugawa Zotaka fell to the ground softly, staring at Zhou Ming with his eyes, and refused to close his eyes until he died.

"I think I understand." Zhou Ming's face was expressionless, and he kicked Tokugawa Sataka's body into the pool, turned and left.

The blood spilled, wisps and piece by piece, staining the pond red, and the fish resurfaced, competing to devour the blood, gathering around the floating corpse of Tokugawa Sataka and gnawing hard......

"It's almost over."

Zhou Ming looked up and saw that the sun was gradually dusk and sunset, the red glow was all over the sky, and the figure was like a ghost, flickering, and disappeared.

……

"Is Zhou Jun back?"

Oda Hirazo paced anxiously in the courtyard, fidgeting, and from time to time he would ask Matsui Kyonobu around him, and after not getting the answer he wanted, he continued to walk around restlessly.

"Why hasn't Zhou Jun come back yet?"

"If the comer is not good, I know that the comer is not good!"

"That's Tokugawa Yamato! Although Zhou Jun is strong, he is too young after all, and he ...... compared to Tokugawa Yamato."

"I would have stopped Zhou Jun if I had known that he would not have gone to the appointment!"

"Zhou Jun is too impulsive, too impulsive! If he misses up, I'm going to be bad! ”

"Well, why don't you know to remind me!"

Oda Heizou chattered, complaining about Zhou Ming for a while, feeling sorry for himself for a while, and complaining about Matsui Symbu next to him.

Matsui Yasu, who was innocently lying on the gun, was very helpless, but he also knew that they were now in a very dangerous situation.

Tokugawa Zolong is not a good match, once Zhou Ming has an accident, they will face the powerful Tokugawa Zotaka after losing their bargaining chips......

I'm afraid I won't even have a chance to go back to Koriyama Castle and become a daimyo again!

"Report!"

At this moment, a samurai barged in and knelt in front of Oda Heizou with an anxious face.

"How's it going? Zhou Jun, how is he! ”

At this time, Oda Heizou had completely lost his former reserve, rushed up and grabbed the samurai and asked.

"Zhou, Lord Zhou Ming, he ......" The warrior stumbled, and he couldn't believe the news he had gotten, and he was speechless for a while.

"How's he doing, say! Say it! Oda Heizou was in a hurry, grabbing the samurai and shaking violently.

Even Matsui Xiexin no longer insisted on the etiquette of being a subordinate, and came up to know Zhou Ming's situation.

"Lord Zhou Ming...... He has slain Tokugawa Yamato! The samurai shouted with all his strength.

"Win?" Oda Heizou was overjoyed, "Where is Zhou Jun now?" Have you returned? ”

"Great, sir." The samurai swallowed his saliva and said cautiously: "Tokugawa Zotaka ambushed a hundred and ten soldiers, and after Lord Zhou Ming's victory, he rushed into the Tokugawa Gym to kill Lord Zhou Ming......"

"One hundred and ten!" Matsui Koranobu next to him gasped, "If there is such a big movement, no one in Kyoto cares?" ”

"This ......," the samurai didn't know whether to answer or not.

"Tokugawa Zotaka, bastard! Scum! Miscellaneous! Oda Heizou was so angry that he jumped to his feet and scolded without regard for his image.

Matsui Xiexin's face was sad, and he asked sadly: "Then, that Zhou Jun has ......"

"Lord Zhou Ming, Lord Zhou Ming, he ......"

When the samurai said this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted with infinite reverence: "Lord Zhou Ming, he killed hundreds of people, killed dozens of people, and completely defeated the enemy!" Then ......"

"And then, did Tokugawa Zotaka know about it? Even though it sounds so unreal, I can't even believe it! But Tokugawa Zotaka must have been mad when he heard this! By all means! ”

Oda Heizou felt that his spirit was greatly stimulated, and he had some doubts about the reality of this world.

Is this something that humans can do?

Am I dreaming?

The samurai swallowed again, and his eyes shot a more intense light of reverence than just now: "Tokugawa Zotaka is dead!" was approached by Lord Zhou Ming and killed with one sword! ”

"Oh, dead, I thought he was mad and wanted to raise an army to destroy us." Oda Heizou relaxed, laughed, and then—

"Gah! Tokugawa Zoraka, he, dead? ”

"Killed by Zhou Jun?!"

……

The news of Tokugawa Sataka's death spread throughout the upper echelons of Kyoto at a rapid speed.

The death of Tokugawa Soraka, the most powerful of all the daimyo and considered the most likely to sit on the throne of the next monarch, caused many people to think like Oda Heizou, and for a time thought that they were living in a dream or listening to a fantasy.

After repeatedly confirming the authenticity of this news, all the daimyo had mixed feelings and did not know how to face the situation at this time.

It stands to reason that with the death of Tokugawa Sataka, they have one less of their biggest rivals, which should be a happy event to celebrate, but all the daimyo are not happy.

It was like a dark cloud pressing heavily on the bottom of their hearts, and the daimyo only felt a storm, a storm of chaos brewing, and the death of Tokugawa Zotaka was a precursor to the imminent outbreak of chaos.

The big one is coming......

What made the daimyo feel even more incredible was Momonosuke Nohara's attitude.

After knowing that Tokugawa Zotaka was dead, Momonosuke Nohara didn't say anything, but sent someone to tell the daimyo not to miss the time of the dinner.

Tonight's dinner will continue as usual.

The sky darkens until the last shadow of the sun falls below the horizon, the waning moon rises in the east, and at night, thousands of lights light up Kyoto, and the whole of Kyoto is bustling with activity tonight thanks to the monarch's amnesty.

However, under this bustle, the color of blood, which no one is aware of, is slowly spreading and gradually covering the whole of Kyoto......
