Chapter 14: Killing the Would-be Bandits

And today's Taiyuan City can be regarded as a carnival of warriors.

It's not a good place for these traders.

Of course, not all merchants will have fear or avoidance of Jianghu warriors.

It mainly depends on what kind of business you do.

If it were ordinary firewood, rice, oil and salt, it is estimated that he would not choose to come to Taiyuan City at such a time.

After all, it's too chaotic here, and you can't afford to be scared for a trip.

And those merchants who are closely related to martial artists, such as those who do weapons and refining shops, or sell some pills, medicinal materials for cultivation, etc., will come to Taiyuan City in an endless stream at this time.

But even if they come, their profits are not very high.

Among the rivers and lakes, the eight major families are the most powerful family forces in addition to the major sects.

At the same time, each of the eight families also has their own business.

In addition to being the most powerful sect in the rivers and lakes, Luoshen Villa is also in the forging business of weapons and armor.

Of course, this is more of a cooperation with the imperial court, so most of the weapons and armor produced by Luoshen Villa are for the army.

However, there will also be a small number of weapons scattered outside, and the quality is relatively high.

The most and most are also the level of standard equipment.

Among the eight families, there is also a Shangguan family, which is the predecessor of Emperor Wu City.

The Shangguan family used to open martial arts halls, and all the governors in the world had their martial arts halls.

It's just that the Shangguan family has successfully become a member of Xungui, and the martial arts halls that used to be have also closed.

In fact, it didn't really disappear, but it was promoted and evolved into the current stronghold of Emperor Wu City in various states and counties.

Among the eight families, there is also a Baoding Zhai family, that is, the family of the Holy Sect patriarch Zhai Xuanjing.

The Zhai family has always been in the iron ore business.

The same Zhai family and the imperial court also cooperated, but this cooperation was mixed with part of Luoshen Villa.

It's not like Roselle Villa is completely tied to the imperial court.

The Zhai family is more like self-preservation, so they allow the imperial court to mix in their own business and occupy a certain proportion.

But even so, the wealth and strength of the Zhai family should not be underestimated.

In addition, there are the Wen family in the South China Sea, the Wu family in Henan, the Mei family in Shaanxi, the Jiao family in Huguang and the Linghu family in Sichuan.

What they do is also closely related to martial artists, such as the refining and polishing of herbs, pills, weapons, etc.

It can be said that in the rivers and lakes, most of the martial arts-related industries are among these eight families.

Even including the Yuanwei Dart Game, it is actually an alternative family force.

After all, the main thing in the two dart games is the single family.

Because there were not many people near the inn where Omura Onijiro lived, when Liu Xin, Xiao Qi and Fang Zihang came here, they went straight to work.

At this time, Omura Onitaro was wiping a sword of their Wa Kingdom, such a sword could already be ranked on the list of 100 soldiers in their Tokugawa shogunate.

But after coming to Zhengyang, Omura Kijiro was shocked to find that the treasure knife he had always cherished was actually an inappropriate thing.

According to Zhengyang's weapon classification, his treasure knife is at most the top existence in the standard weapon.

Not even the Imperial Palace.

According to his estimates, on the list of 100 soldiers of the Tokugawa shogunate, it is estimated that only the one at the forefront can be regarded as the imperial level of Zhengyang.

The weapons in the legends of the four shogunates of the entire Dongying may be able to compete with the exquisite weapons of Zhengyang.

But for them, those are no longer simple weapons, but artifacts.

These artifacts are often accompanied by some magical legends.

And in Zhengyang, although the exquisite weapon is also an extremely precious existence among the warriors.

But it definitely can't reach the level of an artifact, and it's not so far away.

It is said that there are several exquisite weapons in the palace.

And those big officials in the Zhengyang Imperial Court, and those big forces in the rivers and lakes all have a few exquisite weapons.

Even today, there is a divine craftsman in the imperial court who has the strength to create exquisite weapons.

These insights were enough to shock all the members of Zhengyang's envoy corps with this expenditure.

They have been fighting North Korea for a long time.

It has been a hundred years since I had contact with Zhengyang.

As recorded in the history books of the ancestors, Dongying can also be on an equal footing with Zhengyang and break his wrists.

But just a hundred years later, is the gap between the two already so big?

It means that the ancestors are in the history books...... used some beautification means to package the history books.

Of course, there is no way to know all this Omura Kijiro, just speculation.

This time, there were four people in their envoy group, and Onijiro Omura was one of them.

The four of them set out from the imperial capital with their own goals and went everywhere.

Omura Kijiro came to Taiyuan City to make friends with Roselle Villa.

Of course, befriending these forces is only one of them, they also have another purpose.

They were able to come to the imperial capital because of the recommendation of the Zhengyang Nanhai clan.

At this time, the four shogunates conquered each other.

The DPRK, with which they have always had friction, do not know why they suddenly withdrew a large number of troops from the front line.

He retreated hundreds of miles and gave up a lot of land.

After some temptation, the four shogunates found that Korea had really retreated directly.

Originally, according to the idea of the head of the Tokugawa shogunate where Omura Kijiro was located, he should take this opportunity to attack Korea with all his might, and it was best to annex Korea.

But what I didn't expect was that the Tokugawa shogunate and the other three shogunates all said so, but they played a backstab in the back.

And the most amazing thing is that the four shogunates all played this one.

As a result, the four shogunates are now in a mess on the entire island of Toei.

Because of its proximity to the South Sea, the Tokugawa shogunate made contact with the Nankai scholars.

The Nankai Shiclan promised to help the Tokugawa shogunate.

But there are also their conditions.

So the Tokugawa shogunate sent an envoy to Zhengyang.

And what Omura Kijiro is doing now is something agreed between the Tokugawa shogunate and the Nankai clan.

Omura Kijiro wiped his sword as he turned his gaze to the scabbard on the desk next to him.

Although he was not very accustomed to Zhengyang's sword, he still used the silver he earned from the auction of that suit of armor to buy himself an emperor-level sword.

Although Onijiro Omura is constantly wiping his sword now, in fact, his heart has long been on the newly purchased knife.

It's just like most people who spend a lot of money on a new baby.

Omura Kinjiro was a little afraid to use the more powerful sword.

He thought that if he used that knife and caused some scratches or something, he would definitely have a long pain in his flesh.

Although his money was deducted from public funds.

It is equivalent to his embezzlement, and he did not spend a penny of his own.

But usually the corruption comes from his own.

So he still had a lot of pain.

Therefore, it was his own sword that was wiping.

After wiping it for a long time, Omura Kijiro's gaze seemed to be welded to the knife he had just bought.

Finally, he couldn't bear to put down the treasure knife in his hand, and reached out and grabbed the scabbard of the knife.

"Baby! Baby!

With you and me, we will be able to surpass Morita-kun, and perhaps even surpass Tanshita-kun, and the entire envoy may change its structure because of this.

Zhengyang, Zhengyang, what a treasure.

What a wonderful thing it would be if in the future, I, the Tokugawa shogunate, could enter Shoyang and get a piece of land! ”

Just as Onijiro Omura was intoxicated and constantly stroking the scabbard of his beloved knife, a warrior's warning suddenly appeared, causing him to have a thick layer of goosebumps all over his body.

He also participated in two wars between the four shogunates during his time in Toei, and he was requisitioned back from the battlefield, so he can be regarded as having experienced some life-and-death battles.

At this time, the sudden warning made him pounce forward without hesitation, and rolled on the ground in an extremely indecent posture.

Although the action was not pretty, it allowed him to avoid the fatal blow.

The window of the room he was in burst open, and a cold light instantly nailed to where he had been sitting.

Click

A large hole had been made in the floor of the room he was in.

Omura Kijiro is also not slow to react, and he is also a famous master in the Tokugawa shogunate.

The head of the Tokugawa family also treated him with courtesy.

Although some of his superiority feelings have been hit a lot after coming to Zhengyang.

But he still retains the pride of being a master.

Seeing that the people who came were shrouded in black robes, Omura Kijiro could still ask:

"Who are you? Why did you come and kill me? ”

"Why do you think we let you Japanese people set foot on the land of Zhengyang?"

Xiao Qi lowered his voice, said that, and then raised his gun and stabbed forward without waiting for Omura Ghost Jiro to react.

Omura Kijiro was slightly stunned.

Originally, because of the language barrier, although I have studied Zhengyang Mandarin for a long time, there is no problem with normal communication, but it is still a beat slower in understanding.

Coupled with Xiao Qi's speed as fast as a ghost, a shot stabbed out, Omura Onijiro only felt the cold wind blowing in his face, and once again used an extremely indecent posture to dodge this move.

As a result, his thoughts were interrupted again, and he still hadn't reacted to the meaning of the other party's words.

In fact, with Xiao Qi's speed, it is impossible for Omura Ghost Jiro to dodge this shot.

However, before coming, Liu Xin had already instructed Xiao Qi that he must finish what he should say and finish the play that should be performed, and finally he can be seriously injured.

And it should be noted that it can only seriously injure Onejiro Omura, but not his life.

In fact, in this way, the difficulty for Xiao Qi has increased a lot.

With Xiao Qi's speed, if it was an assassination, he would be able to kill Onijiro Omura with one blow.

But now that the senior brother has put forward so many non-sub-points, the difficulty of his task has suddenly increased.

However, Xiao Qi regarded all this as Liu Xin's test for him, so he didn't have any complaints.

One miss, another shot.

Onitharo Omura dodged in the room in embarrassment.

In just two breaths, he felt like he was rubbing shoulders with death five or six times.

At this time, his brain finally digested what Xiao Qi said earlier.

"Aren't you here to help the Tokugawa shogunate?"

Omura's answer fell on Yanagi Shin's ears outside the room.

Sure enough, there was another reason behind the sudden envoy of this group of Japanese people to Zhengyang.

I just don't know who is behind all this.

He was a little glad that he let Xiao Qi spare this Japanese life.

Otherwise, if you kill him directly, there are many things that he may not understand.

Xiao Qi is still chasing Onijiro Omura in the room.

Onijiro Omura also gradually adapted to Xiao Qi's speed.

Of course, this is just the speed of six or seven percent deliberately shown by Xiao Qi, but even so, Omura Onijiro can't keep up.

One of the martial arts and martial arts of the Japanese people is fast, and the other is ruthless.

Therefore, Omura Onijiro is still a relatively fast one among martial artists of the same level.

But it's still a little hard enough to see Xiao Qi.

Finally, Onijiro Omura found an opportunity during a dodge and reached out to hold the hilt of the knife.

A cold light suddenly appeared.

"Draw your sword and slash!"

This is what the Japanese people are best at, and it is also a very powerful killing move.

The moment the knife is drawn is very fast.

How fast is it, at that moment, the speed generated by Omura Onijiro drawing his sword can already compete with the speed of Xiao Qi at his peak.

Xiao Qi was also taken aback by this move, and immediately put away his gun and prepared to defend.

And Fang Zihang, who was outside the house, had already taken a step and was about to break in.

Liu Xin's eyes also shrank.

He didn't expect such an opponent whose strength had been completely displayed in front of him.

He was even able to burst out with strength that surprised him.

However, he believed that Xiao Qi's ability was enough to deal with such a situation.

Sure enough, although Xiao Qi's speed of collecting the gun was fast, it was definitely not as fast as the speed of the gun, so he did not choose to collect the gun at the last moment, but chose to continue to attack.

Because he knew that Fang Zihang and Liu Xin were both outside the room, but it was too late to come over and defuse this attack for him.

Therefore, he could only find a way to minimize the damage caused to him by this knife.

The tip of the spear stabbed Kijiro Omura in the chest.

Even at this critical moment, Xiao Qi remembered his senior brother's instructions, so this shot was stabbed into Omura's right chest.

Even if he is stabbed, he can save the other party's dog life and prevent him from dying on the spot.

Burst!

Everything happened in an instant.

The sword light flashed away, and at the same time, the door of the room was also slammed open, and Fang Zihang rushed in directly with a black curtain, enveloping Omura Ghost Jiro in an instant.

Liu Xin followed Fang Zihang into the room, and his Dao Breaking Sword was already out of its sheath.

The sound of thunder appeared in this small room, and there was a dull and heavy feeling as if it were hitting the heart directly.

It was as if an electric light appeared, and it directly disappeared into Fang Zihang's black curtain.

Laugh at!

With the sound of a sharp blade slicing through the body.

With a thud, a hand holding the hilt of a knife, an arm to be exact, fell to the floor.

Liu Xin turned his head, and his eyes suddenly froze.

And behold, the arm on the ground that held the hilt of the sword, and above the hilt was a half-cut blade.

Liu Xin immediately turned his head to look at Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi was also sluggish at this time.

His spear pierced through the dark curtain and pierced Onijiro's body.

The tail of the spear in Xiao Qi's hand was raised high, just blocking the offensive line of Omura Onijiro drawing his sword.

According to Xiao Qi's prediction, this time he can at least avoid the opponent's killing moves.

The big deal is that he is stabbed in the left and right positions of his shoulder, and if he exchanges his life for injury, he is cost-effective.

But Xiao Qi never imagined that the other party's swift knife would fall on the tail of his gun, and the blade would break directly.

At this moment, the severed blade was inserted into the beam in the distance, and the blade was still trembling.

And Fang Zihang had already realized that there was nothing wrong with Xiao Qi at this time, so he withdrew the exercises.

The darkness cleared, revealing Onijiro Omura, who was pale.

He couldn't have imagined that the treasure knife he had just bought would be so vulnerable, and it would break directly when it touched the other party's gun.

And he originally thought that it was only the master of the gun in front of him who killed him.

Unexpectedly, he just made a small counterattack, and rushed in from outside the room two terrifying masters.

First of all, Fang Zihang, the exercises he used had already appeared in the vision, and the sense of oppression that came from him clearly told Omura Ghost Jiro that the other party's cultivation was a big level higher than him.

And the lightning slash that appeared later was even more incomprehensible to him.

With such a move, only the top worshippers in the Tokugawa shogunate have such strength!

He, Omura Kijiro, how could he attract these three top masters to besiege him.

He was already a little crying and tearless.

"This knife ......"

Fang Zihang lowered his head and looked at the hilt of the knife held on the arm on the ground.

"This guy actually used that knife."

Xiao Qi reacted, and the gun directly brought a ball of blood on Omura Kijiro's body, and the words in his mouth were directly pierced into the depths of Omura's soul.

"This ...... This is the Imperial ...... A level of treasure sword! ”

Until Onijiro Omura fell to the ground, he was full of thoughts about the knife.

It can be seen that the damage caused to him by this knife has surpassed the shot that Xiao Qi stabbed him, and the sword that Liu Xin slashed him.

"This is the Emperor?"

Liu Xin squatted down and looked at the broken knife carefully, then turned his head and didn't bat at death, ah no, it should be seriously injured and refused to close his eyes Omura Onijiro said:

"You're not going to be deceived, are you?

This knife isn't even a standard weapon! ”

Omura Kijiro heard Liu Xin's words, and his whole person was like being struck by lightning.

His mind was filled with a rumbling roar.

It was as if the senior who was standing in front of him appeared in front of him.

"Yo, middle-aged man, I see that your skeleton Qingqi is a generation of martial arts wizards.

The old man is destined for you, and it just so happens that the old man is now short of money and wants to save my poor son who is critically ill.

I have an heirloom sword here, and I want to sell it to you, I wonder if you would like to? ”

Omura Kijiro remembers that at first, he didn't believe the person who suddenly appeared in front of him...
