The moon is shining brightly in the sky.
The courtyard was brightly lit, with sweet-looking maids holding lanterns and fierce-looking dwarf guards holding blades guarding the surroundings.
In the middle of the yard, a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar from the Central Plains sat in front of a musical instrument.
He moved his fingers lightly, and bursts of piano sounds came out.
The man played the piano while closing his eyes and listening, looking like he was enjoying it.
clang…
As the last piano note fell, the man opened his eyes.
Seeing this, the maid next to him hurriedly handed him a handkerchief.
"Central Plains is such a great place! It has everything from fine wine to women. Watanabe-kun, what do you think?"
After wiping his hands, he said sadly.
"I'm not interested in fine wine and women. What I'm interested in is meeting all kinds of swordsmen, killing them, and then bringing their swords back to Fuso for collection!"
Not far behind the middle-aged man, a man wearing Japanese samurai clothes spoke in a cold voice.
As he spoke, he looked at the other people around him.
"Actually, Yamamoto-kun, you don't need to look for so many useless people. With me here, no one can hurt you!"
"Haha! I know that you are a great swordsman, Watanabe-kun, but there is a famous saying in the Central Plains that two fists cannot beat four hands!
It is still necessary to arrange for them to guard me."
Goro Yamamoto said with a smile.
"Report..."
"Reporting to Lord Yamamoto, the guards on the west gate have been killed. Commander Watanabe asked me to inform you to be careful. It should be those Central Plains knights who entered the city and wanted to assassinate our important personnel."
A Fuso man wearing wooden armor shouted from a distance.
"These Central Plains people are really stubborn. They kill one group and another group comes. Do you know where the people are?"
The man named Watanabe looked at the person who came forward to report.
"Your Highness, Young Master Watanabe, I don't know the exact location! But your father has already led people to the south of the city, and he should have discovered something!"
Hearing this, Watanabe turned and looked at the middle-aged man.
Yamamoto Goro smiled and said, "Watanabe-kun, you probably want to try out the sword, right? Just go ahead, there won't be any problem on my side."
"good!"
Hearing this, Watanabe looked delighted and went out with a knife in hand.
After Watanabe left, a charming woman in her thirties suddenly appeared from the corner.
"Yamamoto-kun, if Watanabe doesn't care about your safety, why don't you report it to your Majesty and have him replaced?"
She looked at Goro Yamamoto and asked.
Yamamoto Goro shook his head and said, "Although Watanabe is arrogant, his martial arts skills are still good. At a young age, he has already broken through to the fifth level as the people in the Central Plains call it.
Plus, his father is the city defense commander, so we shouldn't offend him."
"Youji, he is so arrogant and unruly, thinking that the people of the Central Plains are vulnerable. He will suffer sooner or later! Why do you care about him!"
The person who spoke was a guard who had been standing nearby.
Although he was dressed as a guard, his words and actions were completely unlike those of an ordinary guard.
“Indeed, I used to think that the Central Plains was vulnerable and it was not worth coming here, but I realized that I took it for granted.
There are so many masters in Haizhou alone. I wonder how many there are in the entire Southern Region.
Moreover, it is said that the entire Central Plains is divided into the Southern Region, the Northern Desert, the Western Region and the real Central Plains.
This place is so vast, I wonder how many masters are hidden in it!"
The woman said with a serious face.
"A master from the Central Plains..."
Hearing Yuki's words, Yamamoto Goro's expression paused, and he thought of his time at Chunqiu Academy.
At the beginning, he used the pseudonym Li Wu and entered the Chunqiu Academy to study.
Unexpectedly, with his talent, he couldn't even enter the inner courtyard of this academy and could only study in the outer courtyard.
Not being able to enter the inner courtyard of the academy has always been his biggest regret.
Zheng...
The sound of swords resounded through the sky, and the blood-red sword light shot straight into the sky. In an instant, everyone in Xinyang City was attracted by the huge blood-red light column.
"Baga!"
Watanabe, who was walking towards the south of the city on the street, saw the beam of light and his face suddenly changed.
In the courtyard, from the moment the bloody knife light appeared, the outcome was already determined.
Goro Yamamoto might be extremely intelligent, and his guards might all be experts.
But who can stop the divine blood sword from being struck for the first time
No one can stop it.
Even if there is, he will become nourishment for the Blood Knife.
boom…
The huge blood-red sword pillar pressed down from the sky like a giant pillar.
Wherever it passed, the air exploded and houses collapsed.
With one stroke of the knife, the entire courtyard became a ruin.
Several bodies were lying on the ground in pieces.
"Ahem..."
After slashing with the sword, Nie Feng felt as if his whole body was hollowed out and he was powerless all over.
He resisted the urge to fall down, and with a flick of his hand, the white jade tied to it with a thin rope flew out, staining some blood on several figures, and then he took it back.
After taking back the jade, he immediately lifted the head of a corpse in front of him and wrapped it with clothes, then quickly fled to the back door of the yard.
The reason he didn't go out the front door was because he heard footsteps coming from the direction of the front door.
The footsteps were mixed with the sounds of "Baka".
Not long after he left, Watanabe returned to the yard.
Looking at the headless corpse on the ground and the messy courtyard, Watanabe went crazy.
"Bagayalu, find him, find him for me, I want to kill him!"
Even though Yamamoto's martial arts skills are not very high, he is a close confidant of the God Musashi!
He actually died when he was away from his post.
If this matter gets to Musashi, no matter who his father is, even Wang Gang will not escape death.
Even if he doesn't die, it will definitely be a severe punishment.
If he were defeated and Yamamoto was killed, he would not feel wronged.
But the damn assassin killed the man when he was away.
How could he bear this? So his idea now was to kill the assassin and tear him into pieces.
"Search! Don't leave any corner unsearched!"
"Quick! We must catch the assassin!"
"Commander Watanabe said that anyone who is suspicious should be arrested!"
…
It was like stirring up a hornet's nest, and countless Japanese people throughout Xinyang City began searching door to door.
Xinyang City was in an uproar because of one person’s death.
In the Xinyang City Lord's Mansion, Lu Renjia leaned against a pillar. None of the Fuso people coming and going looked at him, as if he did not exist.
Looking towards the east of the city, Lu Renjia's mouth curled up.
“Interesting, I was wondering why a small sixth-grade weapon gave me a dangerous feeling, it turned out to be that knife!
This is good, he attracted these Japanese people, and I can take action!
I want to see what kind of people these two Fusang gods are, to have beaten several major sects into this state!"
Muttering a few words, he slowly walked into the palace.
If anyone pays attention, they will find that every time he walks, the shadows are the thickest. In the shadows, his presence is almost zero. Coupled with his all-black clothes, he almost becomes the deadliest assassin in the shadows.
