Slowly walked into Edo Castle.
There are shops on both sides of the street, and pedestrians are shoulder to shoulder, but not many people go into the shops to buy things. The tension and panic between their brows, and the hurried steps make people feel that they are fugitives avoiding enemy pursuit, rather than passers-by walking freely on the street.
Of course, the cities in Japan were like all the prosperous cities in the Central Plains, not only were there a mix of good and bad people, but there were also robbers, thieves, swindlers and other people who made a living by committing crimes. Just by casually strolling around the streets, Zhou Yi witnessed dozens of incidents caused by such things.
At this moment, a strong and rare sword energy suddenly came from a small shop along the edge, which startled Zhou Yi. Then a deep voice suddenly came from the shop: "... All the knives in this shop are useless!"
Immediately, there was a series of "banging" sounds of metal falling to the ground in the store. It seemed that a knife in the store was thrown to the ground by someone.
"A knife is a dead object, so what is the difference between noble and humble? The most important thing is the person who uses the knife! Even an ordinary knife will shine brightly if it is held in the hands of an extraordinary knifeman!"
"Wrong! Man and sword must match each other in order to reach the highest realm of swordsmanship! How can an ordinary and cheap sword match a supreme swordsman!"
During the argument, the powerful sword intent in the store suddenly increased, and then Zhou Yi heard the sound of a sword breaking.
While Zhou Yi was still thinking, the man in the house actually jumped out. The man was more than seven feet tall, with messy hair hanging down, looking extremely sloppy, but the long sword hidden in the sheath on his back showed its immense power, and its sharpness forced Zhou Yi to come.
"Um!?"
As soon as that man walked out of the door, his brows furrowed, and his eyes shot towards Zhou Yi's figure like knives. Suddenly, without any warning, he raised his palm into a knife and chopped it from a distance. The golden knife energy immediately broke out of his palm and rushed towards Zhou Yi at an incredible speed.
It turns out that in the Wuya Sword Dao, if a swordsman's sword skills have reached perfection, he can reach a higher level and produce invisible and colored void sword energy from his sword. And this void sword energy is also divided into four colors and four levels: the first level is red iron sword energy; the second level is bronze sword energy; the third level is silver-blue sword energy; the fourth level is gold sword energy.
When one reaches the fourth level of golden sword energy, it is already the highest level of sword cultivation, comparable to the "Heavenly Sword" level reached by Wuming. The sword skills are already unprecedented.
Looking at the golden sword energy coming from afar, Zhou Yi couldn't help but look solemn. The golden sword energy was not enough to move Zhou Yi, but he was in a foreign country at the moment. If he revealed his identity by displaying martial arts, it would bring him huge trouble.
"Lian Jingshen, stop it!"
A familiar cry suddenly came from a distance, and a figure flashed, and a fist wrapped in a light blue airflow pierced through the air, and punched at the man with unstoppable momentum. Before the fist arrived, the air had already exploded, which showed that the power of this punch should not be underestimated.
—Boom! !
The two forces seemed to collide in the air with tacit understanding, and then perished together with the sound.
At this moment, the warm sunlight was shining down from the sky. In front of him was a girl in a white kimono, with skin whiter than snow and bright eyes as clear as water. She was staring at Zhou Yi motionlessly. But who else could it be but Ren Ya
"Ren Ya?" Zhou Yi murmured in a lost voice.
Suddenly, all the people around prostrated themselves on the ground, welcoming the newcomer with the most honorable etiquette—prostrating themselves! .
This is the etiquette that Japan only uses to welcome the most noble people. It can be seen how noble the identity of the person who came is. Among these people, Zhou Yi also saw that there are many respected Japanese warriors, even including the ferocious swordsman who just attacked Zhou Yi. In front of Ren Ya, he was so cautious and treading on thin ice, and there was respect in his eyes. He was willing to defend this person with his life!
"Greetings to the Emperor!"
Zhou Yi's mouth twitched: "You... you are... the Emperor of Japan?"
"That's right!" Ren Ya suddenly straightened her body slightly, and looked at Zhou Yi and Ren Ya intently with a smile.
In an instant, Zhou Yi discovered that the soft and charming little girl who cried in the sacred capital Luoyang that day had disappeared. The Japanese emperor in front of him now not only had the majesty of an emperor, but also had the strong and capable character of a warrior. He was not as weak as the emperor of the Song Dynasty, but rather full of heroic spirit!
"Brother Qianbei, Sister Sad! I hope you are all right!"
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ..
The residence of the Emperor, called the Imperial Palace or Imperial Residence, is located in Edo Castle. It is the residence of the Emperor of Japan and the place where the royal family conducts activities. There are seven palaces in the Imperial Palace, which are vast in area and extraordinary in style.
The Imperial Palace is surrounded by greenery, with many trees, flowers and plants. Relics of the ancient Edo Castle can be seen everywhere. The Nijubashi Bridge outside the main gate of the Imperial Palace is one of the famous sights in Tokyo. From here you can see the Fushimi Castle in the Imperial Palace and other landscapes on the moat. The environment is beautiful... ... .
Zhou Yi and Tang Shangxin, as well as the swordsman named Lian Jingshen who had almost had a conflict with them in the knife shop just now, slowly followed Ren Ya and walked into an inner hall.
As soon as Ren Ya entered the door, he saw a figure in a snow-white robe walking towards him quickly. He bowed slightly and said, "Greetings to His Majesty the Emperor!" The man raised his eyes and suddenly saw Zhou Yi and Tang Shangxin following behind him. He could not help but stand there in a daze, his mouth slightly open, looking extremely surprised.
This person was none other than Xue Qingcheng, the successor of Ximen Chuxue, who had collaborated with Zhou Yi to cause trouble in Luoyang that day. However, at this moment it might be more appropriate to call her Miyamoto Yukihime.
Zhou Yi smiled and nodded at her. Xue Qingcheng quickly came back to her senses, then took a step forward, leaned close to Ren Ya's ear, and whispered a few words. Seeing Ren Ya's face becoming increasingly gloomy, Zhou Yi instinctively felt that something was wrong.
After saying that, Ren Ya nodded, looked deeply at Xue Qingcheng, turned to Zhou Yi and the other two, and said with a smile: "At this moment, the leader of the Hidden Sword School, Yagyu Sororo of the Yagyu Family, is asking to see you in the front hall. I'll be right back. Xue Ji will entertain the three of you for me!"
"Yes!" Xue Qingcheng bowed in response.
With Ren Ya's departure, the atmosphere in the room inevitably became cold again. Xue Qingcheng, the icy beauty, was still standing silently aside as usual, with an attitude that kept people at a distance, which made Zhou Yi feel distressed.
Why would Ren Ya let her entertain others
clang!
Suddenly, the sound of weapons being unsheathed was heard in the inner hall. Lian Jingshen could no longer suppress his overwhelming fighting spirit. He drew his sword and pointed it at Zhou Yi, shouting loudly.
"Come, fight me!" (To be continued)
