Chapter 266: Is One Man Capable of Defeating a Country?

"Ten days later, the world will be on the sword!"

"Dongying Imperial Palace, those who don't die if they don't come!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire room fell silent.

Everyone was blindsided.

But then there was a furious voice.

"Presumptuous!"

Lord Akihito was stunned for a moment, and then he was furious, and he slapped the case angrily: "What does he want to do?

At this moment, the lord of Dongying instantly lost his mind, and his eyes were bloodshot: "He actually wants to hold a sword conference in my palace, what does he want to do?

"Find him, find him for me, I will break him into ten thousand pieces!"

I can't help but be furious and crazy with Lord Akihito!

Although he is small, and although he is a vassal of Great Xia, this is only in name!

Although he is now full of smoke, princes and shogunates from all over the country have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, but in this Dongying...... He's still the lord of the country!

He's still the owner of this Dongying!

But now, someone is blatantly ordering the world to hold a sword conference in the palace of his Dongying lord, what is this?

This is an obvious contempt for the lord of his Dongying country and for his Dongying up and down!

This is a provocation!

Undisguised provocation!

Suffering such humiliation made Lord Akihito almost want to use the power of the Son of Heaven to kill people, but he still didn't have a seizure after all.

Just because of a sentence that Jiro Ito said-

"Your Majesty......"

"The reason why the minister broke into the palace is because the commander of the knight's brocade guard also knows that just relying on a token will never let Dongying's warriors risk their lives to break into the palace, and no one will even care about this matter at all!"

"So the token they gave ......"

The token in Itojiro's palm is red.

Red, naturally, is the color of blood.

"Stained with blood!"

"He just wants to use the blood on the token to tell the countless samurai in Dongying, so that they don't dare not come, and they can't not come!"

Listening to Jiro Ito's words, everyone fell silent.

Lord Akihito also calmed down instantly, and the blood on the token was also stimulating his soul.

"But...... He...... How dare he?!"

"How dare he carry the power of a country with the power of one person?!"

Lord Akihito said in a deep voice.

"Why wouldn't he dare?"

"This commander of the Jinyi Guard of Great Xia, although he is only a commander, but there are many masters under his command, so what does it matter if he is carrying a country?"

Jiro Ito stroked his chest with his left hand and said in a deep voice: "The person who injured me today, the knife was not completely unsheathed, just the knife intent that leaked out, and he seriously injured me!"

"And people like this, in addition to Liu Sheng Dan Ma Shou, there are at least five people under Gu Fengqing's command!"

"In addition, there are three thousand powerful sword guards, and after forming a military formation, it is comparable to dozens of martial arts masters!"

"And I'm Dongying, and there are only a few grandmasters at full play...... How can you block it?"

There was silence throughout the room, except for Jiro Ito's voice.

At this moment, Itojiro's words were like a yin wind blowing from the Nine Hells, ethereal and unpredictable, and at the same time, there was a chill that seemed to freeze people's souls.

Uncontrollable fear!

Lord Akihito was speechless, opening his mouth but not making any sound.

The minister who spoke first was pale and bloodless.

Everyone in the audience was stunned.

Throughout the room, there was silence that seemed to be audible as if a pin had dropped.

In everyone's minds, those two sentences suddenly came to mind-

"Ten days later, the world will be on the sword!"

"Dongying Imperial Palace, those who don't die if they don't come!"

These two sentences echoed in their minds crazily.

Lord Akihito, who was still angry a moment ago, had a frozen expression at the moment, but then he came back to his senses, but there were countless expressions intertwined.

Shocked, frightened, incredulous, helpless......

All the emotions were intertwined, making the lord of the country show a confused look at the moment.

Not only this lord of the country, but also everyone else was stunned at this moment, they couldn't believe their ears, and even thought that they were in a dream.

How is this possible?!

How is this possible?!

I poured the strength of a country into the east, but I couldn't deal with a Jinyi Guard commander?

The power of one person can defeat the country?!

As the lord of the Toei Kingdom, Akihito has been learning the art of the emperor since he was born.

In his opinion, although the great power of the people of the rivers and lakes is attributed to themselves, and cultivating to the depths has the power to turn the rivers and seas, but how few great masters are in this world, and how difficult is it?

On the contrary, the lord of a country is angry and ambushes millions of corpses.

One word is the life and death of tens of millions of people.

But now, suddenly, hearing that he had a whole Dongying and that there was nothing he could do with Gu Fengqing, Lord Mingren was instantly confused.

He sat down in his seat and slowly closed his eyes.

After a long time, he said softly.

"In Dongying today, although my imperial family is weak, but I control the Gyeonggi Stronghold, even the three shogunates dare not openly rebel!

"Because my royal family has controlled Dongying for hundreds of years, the samurai and ronin of the world are still interested in the royal family!"

"They don't dare to rebel! Because once they openly tear up the banner and rebel, the minds of the soldiers and soldiers will be fluctuating, and the samurai will hesitate!"

"To put it bluntly, although the prestige of the Dongying royal family is getting weaker and weaker under my hands, as long as I am desperate and call on King Qin, most of the samurai and ronin in the world will come!"

"Who would dare to oppose such a situation?!"

"Although Dongying is weak, it is by no means powerless!"

"What if there are few grandmasters? What about the enemy country within a few reach?"

"When the Son of Heaven is angry, millions of corpses are ambushed! I called on King Qin, and the warriors of the world came to help, but I didn't believe it...... The whole Dongying has the strength of the whole country, and he has killed a lot of Gu Fengqing!"

Speaking of this, Lord Akihito opened his eyes, looked at the ministers in the house, and said in a deep voice: "The forbidden army sanitates the Imperial Palace, and this place is completely blocked, but if anyone dares to enter the Imperial Palace, regardless of the reason, shoot it immediately!"

"Also, issue a proclamation from me, so that the warriors of the world will come to King Qin, but those who have meritorious service will be knighted, rewarded with fields, and given food!"

"Another ......"

Lord Akihito turned his head to look at Jiro Ito, and said in a deep voice: "Ito-kun, at this time, it is time for me to live and die, and I ask Ito-kun to do one thing!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I'll contact you as soon as I go back!"

Jiro Ito said with a deep breath.

Although Akihito has not yet spoken, he already knows what the other party wants to say.

After receiving Jiro Ito's reply, Lord Akihito nodded.

He breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the scenery outside the house, and muttered, "Everything...... It's up to tomorrow!"

......

Ten days later, the capital of Dongying Kingdom.

Today, the sky is clear, and people walk on the streets, and they only feel a lot more comfortable.

As the country of Toei, the city is naturally very prosperous, and if you look at it from a high position, you can see the rows of low-rise wooden houses on both sides of the street, and the wooden lanterns hanging in front of each house.

Pedestrians come and go, men in kimonos with wide robes and large sleeves, women with heavy makeup, and vendors on the street are also noisy, which seems to be very lively.

All kinds of voices converge together, the sound tide rises and falls, and it is a prosperous scene.

Ordinary people are also in a much better mood in such good weather.

No matter how you look at it, today is the same as it was in the past - in the eyes of ordinary people.

However, when they are in a good mood, they occasionally find some exceptions.

That is, in the taverns on both sides of the street, or on the side of the road, there are many samurai and ronin with swords.

There are many samurai and ronin in Kyoto on weekdays, and most of these are retainers or staff members of various ministers' families, and they also appear in all corners of Kyoto on weekdays.

Just today......

It's just too much!

More than in the past, several times more!

As far as the eye can see, there are almost everywhere samurai and ronin.

In addition, in various hidden corners of the city, there are also many hidden figures from time to time, they are like ghosts, walking through the city, their eyes are fixed on the center of the city, the largest building!

"There's ......"

Many ordinary people in Dongying, their eyes passed through the obstruction of countless buildings, and gathered in one place-

Imperial Palace!

Where the Lord of the Kingdom of Toei lives!

It is also the entire Dongying, the nominal center of power!

"I'm afraid something big is going to happen today!"

At some point, the news suddenly spread throughout Kyoto, so that Kyoto, which was still very lively, became much colder in an instant.

Many ordinary people hurriedly returned to their homes and closed their doors, while being involved in the wind and waves that they could not understand and could not bear.

Although it is much colder, the number of pedestrians on the streets has not decreased.

Rather, there are more of them.

In particular, the streets around the Toei Imperial Palace, on the rooftops, teahouses, and corners of the palace, were full of samurai and ronin with weapons.

There were many of them, but they didn't make a loud noise, but gathered together in twos and threes, staring at the Imperial Palace with their eyes and whispering quietly.

This strange situation naturally makes people understand more clearly-

Today, something big is going to happen!

And it's a big deal!

"It is said that the commander of the Jinyi Guard of Great Xia crossed the sea, first killed the three shoguns, and then issued a sword order, wanting to hold a sword conference, and now look at it...... There are a lot of samurai here!"

When the samurai got together, they naturally chatted.

A few samurai ronins who were also in the liquor shop drank a few glasses of wine together and chatted.

"Could it be that these people are all here to participate in the Sword Conference?"

"How is that possible!"

"In my opinion, these warriors are here to kill that Gu Fengqing!"

"Kill Gu Fengqing, what does this mean?"

A warrior asked puzzledly: "Then Gu Fengqing issued a sword word order and ranked the world's swordsmen, isn't everyone here to be on the list?"

"Naturally not!"

Another samurai drank sake and said in a deep voice: "Although my lord of the country of Dongying is weak, and the princes and daimyo of all parts of the world are together, the lord of the country is still the lord of the east after all, and there are still many samurai in the world who are loyal to the lord of the country!"

"And that Gu Fengqing was so bold as to hold a sword conference in the imperial palace of the lord of Dongying, this is a provocation to Dongying! If the lord of the country is humiliated, the warrior will die...... I'm waiting here to kill Gu Fengqing! so that he can know that Dongying can't be humiliated!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of echo in the wine shop.

"Well said!"

"Not bad!"

"Kill Gu Fengqing and let him know that we Dongying are not easy to bully!"

"And the lord of the country has already issued an edict from King Qin, as long as he makes a contribution to this matter, he can get a lot of rewards!"

"The forbidden army has already been dispatched to protect the imperial palace, and not even a single bird can enter, as long as Gu Fengqing dares to come, under the volley of ten thousand arrows, he has no reason to survive!"

"That's right, but I've heard that several of our great grandmasters from Dongying are also here, and they are all guarding the imperial city at this moment! That Gu Fengqing is bold and lawless, but he definitely doesn't dare to break into the palace!"

"Because he knows that to come is to die!"

A group of ronins and samurai are hotly discussed.

In their opinion, this Gu Fengqing should not dare to appear in the capital of Dongying Kingdom.

Because there are countless warriors and kings, several grandmaster guards, countless forbidden troops outside the imperial palace, and even in various visible and invisible corners, there are countless ninjas in ambush, this is almost a real net of heaven and earth, whoever comes will die!

That Gu Fengqing, how dare he come to die?

Dongying Imperial Palace, on the world of swords, is just a farce!

Although they knew in their hearts that Gu Fengqing would not dare to come, they still thought that Gu Fengqing could come, because in this way, they would be able to truly show their ambitions, make meritorious contributions, and get ahead!

However, just as they were thinking like this, a voice suddenly remembered out of place at this moment: "Want to kill Gu Fengqing?

"I only have a few great grandmasters in Dongying, but one of the grandmasters, the leader of the Yanagi Xinyin faction, Yanagi Danma Shou, has already taken refuge in the commander of the Jinyi Guard in Great Xia!"

"The god killing one-knife streamer Ito senior was even injured by a swordsman under Gu Fengqing's command! It is said that when that swordsman injured Ito senior, he didn't even have a knife completely unsheathed!"

"What's more, there are several such swordsmen under Gu Fengqing's command, and there are also three thousand terrifying swordsmen...... With such a huge strength, with only a handful of our grandmasters, how can we kill them?"

"What are we going to kill?!"

"Is it just you and me and those forbidden troops outside the Imperial Palace?!"

There was no hidden sarcasm in this voice.

It stands to reason that if this sentence that attracts hatred comes out, I'm afraid that these samurai will have fried the pot a long time ago.

But at this moment, there was a very strange silence in the entire wine shop.

It was as if the yin wind swept through everything, making everyone's faces freeze instantly.

Quiet pin drop can be heard.

This voice brought up the very important things that they had ignored before, or that they didn't dare to think or didn't want to think!

In the face of the Martial Arts Grandmaster, how can they deal with it?!

And what to deal with?!

The rewards are great, but you have to have a life to enjoy them!

Just here everyone was stunned, just when the undercurrent was turbulent in Kyoto, when everyone's eyes were on the Imperial Palace,

Just when countless people either thought that Gu Fengqing didn't dare to come, or secretly looked forward to him coming,

Just when the most attention was being struck-

One person, one knife.

Like a ghost, it appeared out of thin air outside the gates of Kyoto.

Then he walked slowly in the direction of the Imperial Palace.

In the whole of Toei, the whole of Kyoto, countless samurai, ronin, and ninjas, at this moment, lost their voices in an instant!

Under the sky of heaven and earth, only the low footsteps reached everyone's ears!

Barta,

Barta,

One step, one step......

Like a hammer of memory, it struck on their hearts.

......

......
