Standing in front of the door, relying on the bright firelight, I can vaguely see that next to the fire in the center of the broken temple, there is a middle-aged man sitting cross-legged, with a face vicissitudes but no edge, and two knives on his knees, one long and one short, are the same as the Yanagi Danma Shou who he befriended in Fusang many years ago, and the surrounding samurai are all elite masters of Dongying brought by Yanagi Danma Shou, which is a force that should not be underestimated, enough to compare to any of the ten major factions today.

"Who is it?" The surrounding samurai reacted, pulled out the katana at their waists with a brush, and surrounded Zhang Zheng in the middle.

He then stepped into the ruined temple and found a place to sit down by the fire.

"What are you going to do when you're in such a hurry for me to bring someone over?" asked Yagyu Danma Mamoru curiously.

Three years ago, under Zhang Zheng's arrangement, a large number of Dongchang masters went to Fuso, secretly hidden under the banner of the Yanagi family, and began to launch a large-scale annexation war, the turmoil of the Dongying martial arts lasted for a year, and with the continuous support of the Dongchang, the Yagyu family finally destroyed all other schools except Iga Koga, and Yanagi Danma Mamori also successfully ascended to the Wulin Alliance Leader, commanding Fusang Wulin.

Immediately afterwards, the bloody hunt for the ronin was launched in Fusang, and at the same time, Cao Zhengchun and the masters of the East Factory on the Central Plains also began to strangle the Japanese Kou, and in less than three months, tens of thousands of heads were cut off, and the sea disaster was leveled in one fell swoop.

It is precisely because of this credit that Dongchang can once again win the favor of the little emperor, and Cao Zhengchun can still steadily suppress the Dragon Protector Villa under the premise of Zhang Zheng's retreat, and even now Dongchang is slowly being accepted by the martial arts, and Cao Zhengchun has a faint tendency to become the right way.

......

After purging the opposing forces, the new Yin Stream of Yanagi began to develop rapidly, with disciples everywhere and masters doubling out, and it has surpassed Iga and Koga.

However, just three months later, Liu Sheng Dan Ma Shou suddenly received a secret letter from Zhang Zheng, asking him to bring people to Middle-earth. That's where we are now.

......

Zhang Zheng didn't hide it, and said directly: "I'm going to kill someone." ”

"Kill whom?" "Yanagi Danma Shou asked, but he was very uneasy in his heart, when he was in Fusang five years ago, Zhang Zheng was not weaker than himself, and now I am afraid that he will go to the next level, he can't see through it at all. However, from Zhang Zheng's tone, he heard the slightest uncertainty, what kind of person would make this man unsure and need to seek his own help.

The Iron Courage God Hou Zhu ignored. ”

......

"Are you sure?" asked Yagyu Danma Mamoru tentatively.

Zhang Zheng nodded.

Yanagi Danma Shou took a heavy breath before saying: "This person is very terrifying, when he came to Dongying to travel, he defeated all the masters, and my father was among them, at that time I was not qualified to fight with him, I could only watch from a distance, and then I came to Middle-earth, and I also fought with him, and I lost in three moves." ”

"Zhu ignores very strongly. He chuckled, "Otherwise I wouldn't need your help." ”

The doubts on Liu Sheng's face were gone, and there was a hint of excitement and eagerness in his eyes, after all, he was also a martial idiot, and it was undoubtedly a pleasure to be able to fight with more powerful people, he said: "You are a little sure." ”

Zhang Zheng held out a finger.

"Issei?" he frowned.

"Wrong, it's ninety percent. The smile on Zhang Zheng's face faded, and he turned serious: "In this battle, anyone can die, do you have a back hand in Fusang?" ”

"Thanks to your teachings, the Ten Guards have grown up very quickly over the years, and they are already able to take charge on their own. Yagyu Shibei said with emotion.

......

......

Unconsciously, a delicate woman as delicate as snow suddenly flashed in his mind, the figure waiting in the wind and snow, wearing a long white dress, tied with a fox fur, and his eyebrows and eyes were like autumn water. The ghost sent the gods, and he suddenly asked, "Is Yukihime doing well?"

Yanagi Danma Mamori glanced back inadvertently, and then smiled: "You want to know if Xue Ji is doing well, why don't you ask her personally." ”

......

"Sir" suddenly, a crisp female voice came from behind him, with a surprise that could not be concealed in his tone, he had not heard this voice for a long time, but Zhang Zheng still recognized it immediately, he turned his head and happened to meet a pair of eyes that were like flashing tears.

"Yukihime, why are you here?" he said in a deep voice. Only then did he realize that her face was still a little tired, and there were some grass clippings on her body, and she should have been resting and sleeping in the corner just now, so she didn't find out by herself, thinking that it was because she was in a hurry day and night, and somehow, he suddenly felt pity in his heart.

......

Xue Ji hurriedly shook off the dust on her body, wiped her eyes again, and then walked in front of him with the corner of her clothes, but she could no longer suppress the thoughts in her heart, and said with red eyes: "Xue Ji is here to let Mr. know, without Mr. company, Xue Ji is not having a good time."

Since Mr. left, Xue Ji missed day and night, only hated that he didn't have the courage to follow Mr. at the beginning, five years have passed, Xue Ji's heart can no longer tolerate others, this time even if Mr. drives me away, I won't leave. ”

Yanagi but Ma Shou consciously went out of the broken temple, leaving the two alone.

This time, he didn't plan to bring Yanagi Xue Ji, but he couldn't bear the soft grinding and hard bubbles, and he also hoped that his daughter could cultivate the positive fruit, so he let Xue Ji come, and said from the bottom of his heart that he admired Zhang Zheng very much and was willing to contribute to this good thing, but in the end, whether the two of them could go that far depends on the will of God.

......

......

By the flickering bonfire, Zhang Zheng and Xue Ji sat side by side, he gently wiped away the tears in her eyes with his palm, and comforted: "Why are you suffering? I am a prodigal son, I will not be happy with me, and I will not accompany you forever, is it worth it?"

......

"It's worth it. Xue Ji held his palms with both hands, and said resolutely: "Xue Ji's heart can only accommodate Mr., if you are driving me away, then Xue Ji will kill herself in front of you, and let the soul follow Mr." ”

Looking at her expression, Zhang just didn't suspect that this Xue Ji did such a thing.

She is a person who looks weak on the outside, but is actually extremely resolute on the inside, and as long as she makes her own decisions, she will not change, otherwise she will not wait for five years.

He has a headache, and he can't do it if he doesn't agree, but he can't make Xue Ji happy if he agrees, Zhang Zheng won't stay in this world for too long, as short as three or two years, or as long as a few months.

It will be a parting that does not know the end, if there is concern in your heart, it will be tantamount to torment for yourself.

After seven or eight breaths of silence, he asked, "Yukihime, I'm going to leave here soon, I don't even know when I'll come back, maybe never again, are you still willing to follow me now?"

Yanagi Yukihime's face turned pale with a "brush", and she said in a trembling voice: "Where is Mr. going, don't you bring Yukihime?"

"No, I'm the only one who can go. ”

"Yukihime is willing to accompany her husband in his last moments, and will always wait for him to return. After a moment, she seemed to figure it out, and the sadness in her eyes faded into firmness.

"There's another bond. Zhang Zheng smiled bitterly, and then opened his hands and hugged Xue Ji into his arms.

......

......

"Let's go, go home with me. ”

......

Outside the ruined temple, Liu Sheng Dan Ma Shou took a group of Fusang masters far away, heard a sound and turned around, just saw Zhang Zheng holding Liu Sheng Xue Ji's hand and walked out, his daughter's face was still shy, but more was joy, the old fox saw the matter at a glance, and when he was secretly happy, he also brought people to follow behind.
