Chapter 407 Shinin Sect, Yagyu Taimamomo

"Should I call you Lord Li of Dinghai Guard, or Leader Li of the Giant Whale Gang?"

Inside the headquarters of the Giant Whale Gang, Xu Xin looked at the man in front of him, the leader of the Giant Whale Gang and the commander of Ningbo Dinghaiwei.

"Master Wang came here today because of the previous assassination? This matter has nothing to do with Li!"

The leader of the Giant Whale Gang looked at Xu Xin, his eyes very calm, but there were some problems that could be heard from his words. There was a high probability that he did not participate in the assassination, but he definitely knew the inside story.

"Oh! But this happened in your territory, do you think you can let it go?"

As Xu Xin spoke, a vague aura locked onto this person, putting great pressure on him.

The leader of the Giant Whale Gang was silent for a long time and then said: "Master Wang is so good at it, he was able to conquer all the palace masters of Yihua Palace... I admire you, please tell me!"

Xu Xin said calmly: "I want to open the sea, and you guys have to cooperate. We are all fellow villagers, so don't make it too ugly!"

The leader of the Giant Whale Gang looked at Xu Xin and said, "This matter is not easy to handle. It's useless if we just let go. You Wang family knows this."

"I didn't say we'd open the sea now. I want you to do something for me..."

Xu Xin said calmly, and then said some things he wanted him to do.

Their group then rested for a few days at the Giant Whale Gang, and then took a sea ship to Japan in the northeast.

……

At this time, Japan was in power under the Muromachi Shogunate of the Ashikaga clan, and was in the most chaotic Warring States Period in Japan's history.

About twenty years ago, the Muromachi shogunate in Japan was still at its peak. However, after a series of events such as the Onin Rebellion broke out during the reign of the eighth shogun Ashikaga Yoshimasa, the daimyo noble families from all over Japan conquered each other and annexed land, and they no longer obeyed The shogunate ordered.

The power of the Muromachi shogunate weakened, the Onin Rebellion began, and Japan entered the so-called Warring States Period, with conquests everywhere.

Xu Xin's Wang family in Yuyao was also involved in overseas smuggling and trade. He had collected information in this area under his intentional instructions, so he still had some understanding of the situation in Japan.

Kyoto, the capital of Japan in this era, can be said to be the largest city in Japan. However, due to the Warring States Period, the daimyo conquered each other and years of wars and wars, the people were displaced and numerous refugees poured in. Beggars with skinny bones and tattered clothes could be seen everywhere along the streets.

The sound of horse hooves came galloping from far to near, and several horses were walking recklessly through the busy city. These knights were all dressed in uniform samurai uniforms, with samurai swords on their waists. Their auras were fierce, and their eyes were as sharp as eagles. They flashed from time to time, showing their excellent internal strength.

The leader among the many warriors was probably in his twenties. His eyes were sharp and sharp, like a tiger ready to prey at any time and anywhere, giving people a very dangerous feeling.

"They are disciples of Yagyu Shininryu, and I don't know why they are so anxious."

"The head of the Yagyu family, Yagyu Sogan, is a big shot. Legend has it that his swordsmanship has reached the realm of ghosts and gods. There are probably no more than five people in the world who are qualified to fight with him."

"The leader is Yagyu Munenomi of the Yagyu Shinin-ryu. It is said that his swordsmanship has been passed down by the Shinin-ryu true transmission, and he will most likely inherit the name of Yagyu Taimamomo!"

There was a samurai on the street and he recognized this group of knights as disciples of the Yagyu Shinin-ryu.

……

"Father! I'm back!" Munenomi Yagyu, also known as Tajima Mamoru Yagyu in the future, strode into the dojo of Yagyu Shinin-ryu and faced the leader of the Yagyu clan who was kneeling on his knees and the great master of the Shinin sect, Yagyu. Zong Yan kowtowed.

"Ah."

Yagyu Soyan responded lightly, with a solemn expression on his face, and said: "Zong Mo, go down and get ready. The guests should be arriving soon. Go and greet them in person!"

Yagyu Taimashou raised his eyebrows, lowered his head and said, "I understand!"

Outside the Yagyu Shinin Sect Dojo, a carriage stopped. Xu Xin opened the curtains and looked at the Japanese-style dojo, and then at the young man who came out of the dojo to greet him. His facial features seemed familiar. From now on, Yagyu Tajima Mamoru.

"Dear guests from Zhongyuan, please come with me!"

Yagyu Taimamomo nodded to Xu Xin and others, and then walked in front to lead the way. When he passed the samurai training ground, Xu Xin didn't have much abnormality, but when he saw Yagyu Muneyan, who looked like a master, he There was a look of surprise in his eyes.

"Mr. Yagyu, hello!"

Xu Xin came to kneel down in front of this famous Japanese martial arts master. His childhood was poor in other aspects, but his inheritance of ancient rituals was pretty good, but there were also some mistakes. For example, this kneeling sitting, the kneeling sitting in the Central Plains, actually has a small bench underneath.

"Mr. Wang of the Ming Dynasty, I wonder why you came to visit my Yagyu family?"

Yagyu Zongyan glanced at Xu Xin, and then at Yao Yue who was always beside him. The feeling this woman gave him was very strong.

"My uncle of the Ming Dynasty and I were assassinated by a disciple of the Yagyu Shinin Sect. Is there anything you want to say, Mr. Yagyu?"

Xu Xin asked the people accompanying him to take out a few things, which were the iconic items left by the assassins that day.

"This……"

Yagyu Soen and Yagyu Tajima Mamoru both showed expressions of surprise, obviously not expecting Xu Xin and the others to come from Nakahara for such a thing.

Although the Yagyu Shininryu are not the group of ninjas who specialize in assassination, they still have a large number of disciples fighting for the daimyo. The parents of the Yagyu family cannot control the whereabouts of some of their disciples.

"Mr. Yagyu, Lord Zhang's sister, just married our Emperor last year. This incident made Lord Zhang very unhappy, and His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was also very unhappy. You, the Yagyu family, must give an explanation."

Xu Xin acted very tough because he now represents the Ming Dynasty. Not to mention the small Yagyu Shinin sect, even the Muromachi shogunate that is currently in power in Japan is just a gadget in his eyes.

When he came back to Japan this time, it was only incidental to cause trouble for the Yagyu family. More importantly, he wanted to spy on Japan's intelligence, especially the Ming Dynasty and the Kyoto shogunate, as well as the gold and silver mines in various parts of Japan.

If he wants to open the sea to cause trouble, he must create exciting benefits. And if he remembers correctly, the gold and silver mines in Japan are very rich, which can be used to solve the problem of the Ming Dynasty's already rotten currency system.

Forget about banknotes. The Ming Dynasty's banknotes had destroyed the court's credibility. Xu Xin thought it would be better to establish a new system of copper coins and silver coins. Silver coins that could be blown were natural anti-counterfeiting methods!

"Master Wang, can you give us some time for this matter?"

Yagyu Sogan and his son looked at each other and said solemnly. After receiving Xu Xin's invitation, they also found someone in Kyoto to inquire about the situation. They found that these people were really big shots they couldn't afford to offend, even the shogunate. , one must also be cautious when facing Ming’s envoys.
