Warring States Eagle

The sun, which is rare in winter, shines on the earth with a smile, and the breeze with a little bit of chill gently blows on the cheeks.Vast and fertile fields, a relatively prosperous castle town, merchants, farmers, craftsmen, samurai, ashigaru...perform their duties or come and go in a hurry.This is the castle town of Tayama Castle in Yoshi-gun, the home town of Maori in Aki.

It was already the second day of January in the 19th year of Tianwen (20).In the castle town Whale House, a paradise for men (in addition to drinking, there will also be women serving), in the usually lively lobby, there are not many guests who come to visit at this time (because it is the New Year, men stay at home with family).At this moment, with a "squeak", the wooden door of the Whale House was pushed open, and then five or six people walked in, the leader of whom seemed to be only about [-] years old.

Seeing that there were rare guests, several maids in the lobby rushed over to greet them immediately.

"Only drink, don't let people disturb you." The young man in his 20s waved away the girls who were approaching.The girls left immediately after hearing the words, and not long after, they brought the most famous sake of Whale House.

"You do whatever you want." The young man asked his guards to sit nearby and drink at will, and then he picked up a bowl of sake and drank slowly.

This young man is Yoshikawa Motoharu, the second son of Mori Motozuru, the governor of the famous Yoshikawa family in Sanin.Ever since his father Mori Moto put Yoshikawa Kokyo under house arrest, he, as the adopted son of Yoshikawa Kokyo, has inherited the position of the governor of the Yoshikawa family.Over the past few years, with the help of his father, he has completely controlled the top and bottom of the Yoshikawa family. Even if Yoshikawa Xingjing, who escaped the siege by chance, returned home in the future, he would no longer be able to regain the real power in the family.

Drinking sake has always been one of Motoharu Yoshikawa's hobbies.Recently due to attending the annual meeting at home.He was able to return from Yoshikawa's house to Mori's home city.After the end of the year.He stayed in Tianshan Castle in Yoshi-gun for two more days. Today, before leaving for Yoshikawa's house tomorrow, he decided to go to the Whale House in the castle town to have a glass of wine.

"Squeak!" Just as Yoshikawa Motoharu was drinking happily, the wooden door of the Whale House was pushed open again, and a middle-aged man dressed as a commoner walked in. After looking at Yoshikawa Motoharu and others, the middle-aged man said He went straight to pass by the two servants who were in charge of guarding Yoshikawa Motoharu's left side.The maids on the other side who were in charge of soliciting business thought that there were new customers arriving.At this time, it also started to come here.

Yoshikawa Motonharu didn't look at the middle-aged man from the beginning to the end. As for the servants in charge of protecting Yoshikawa Motoharu, they thought that this man was also here to drink and play with women, so they didn't pay much attention.After all, this is the castle town of the Maori Home Town, and it is definitely the safest place in the Maori Homeland, so their vigilance is naturally reduced a lot.

However, when the middle-aged man was about to pass by a valet outside Yoshikawa Yuanchun, he suddenly grinned and said to the valet, "Use your knife!"

While speaking, he suddenly took half a step towards the valet, and stretched out his hand to grab the valet's shoulder.Swiping down his arm, he had already pinched the servant's right wrist with one hand and held the servant's upper arm with the other.With a growl in his mouth, both hands exerted force together, only a click sound was heard, accompanied by a scream, the arm of the valet suddenly fell limply in a strange and inexplicable shape, and the short knife in his hand fell down. into the hands of middle-aged people.The middle-aged man immediately stabbed him with a knife, and the valet felt a sharp pain in his chest, and the red blood looked extraordinarily bright and eye-catching.The valet slowly knelt down on the ground, and finally turned into a gradually cold corpse.

Piercing the heart with a short knife is fatal. The middle-aged man has practiced this action thousands of times. He breaks through the opponent's body in an instant, without giving the opponent any chance to catch him. With a flip of his wrist, the short knife has already been pulled out of the body without any stagnation. He quickly rushed towards the other valet on the right who had just reacted.

There was a terrifying look in the valet's eyes, as if he saw the eyes of a ferocious beast, his legs forgot to move all of a sudden, and his dull eyes saw a flash of red cold light suddenly getting bigger and bigger in his pupils.Following the impact, the middle-aged man wiped the knife lightly across the neck of the servant, and then turned his head no longer to look at him, nor did he look at the Whale House maids who were terrified by the sudden change, but quickly moved towards him. Yoshikawa Motoharu walked in the direction.

The valet behind him who had just had his neck wiped was bulging, with a gurgling sound in his throat, one hand tightly grasped his neck, and the other hand kept waving something randomly in front of him, The man slowly fell to his knees on the ground.His body twitched several times, and suddenly a bloodstain appeared on his neck, which grew longer and larger, spattering out blood.Half of the head fell to one side and crawled on the ground, and there was no movement after that.

The knife just cut off half of his head in a fast movement, and it took five or six steps to open his neck, which shows how fast the knife was swung just now.

Seeing the two servants died in front of him, Yoshikawa Motoharu, who was still immersed in the delicious sake, suddenly changed his face, and shouted: "Quick, kill him!" He first took two steps back, Then he pulled out the sword from his waist and was ready to fight.As a fierce general in the family, although he was still young and had not yet reached the highest level of martial arts in history, and was surprised to be attacked here suddenly, Yoshikawa Motoharu was not timid at all.

As the middle-aged man approached quickly, he looked at a few of Yoshikawa Motoharu's servants who were rushing over while drinking heavily, and said with a faint smile, "The warm-up is over, now let me show you what you are capable of." Jumping, directly killed Yoshikawa Yuanchun.

"Kill!" Seeing that the surrounding servants were too late to stop him, Yoshikawa Motoharu sneered and yelled, raised his knife and killed the middle-aged man.It's just that the middle-aged man suddenly gave way to the right at this time, and the short knife in his hand pierced upwards from the left rib.

Motoharu Yoshikawa suddenly felt a chill coming from his chest, and his footsteps wanted to stop all of a sudden, but the inertia made his body involuntarily run forward two steps, but his Taidao still blocked his chest subconsciously, the short sword and the Taidao The sound of the collision sounded, sparks sparked instantly, and a fleshy wound appeared on Yoshikawa Motoharu's chest, and blood spattered out.Yoshikawa Motoharu covered his chest and took a few steps back, then laughed and said:

"Hahaha! Good martial arts! Who is Your Excellency? Why did you attack us?"

Facing Yoshikawa Motoharu's question, the middle-aged man grinned and let out a smirk, holding the dagger with a missing corner in his hand, which fell when it was hit with Yoshikawa Motoharu's Taidao (it can be seen how powerful the impact was at that time) Big, it's a pity that to avoid suspicion, the middle-aged man is not using the Black Eagle dagger unique to the Luo family at this time, otherwise he will not be knocked out a gap), whispered: "If you want to know who is next, go back Just ask your father." After finishing speaking, regardless of what Yoshikawa Motoharu thought, he directly killed him again.

Seeing the middle-aged man killed again, Yoshikawa Motoharu leaned down and watched the middle-aged man with a knife tightly in his hand. When the middle-aged man was about to approach him three steps away, he suddenly jumped up, holding the sword high in his hand got up and roared loudly: "Kill!"

Seeing that Yoshikawa Motoharu took the initiative to attack, the middle-aged man blocked the dagger in his hand, and with a "bang", the Taidao hit the dagger, sparks shot out all at once, and gold and iron sang.After all, Yoshikawa Motoharu was young and out of breath, and was immediately attacked and took a step back. It was this step of dodge that put him in danger.

With a bang, the middle-aged man stabbed Yoshikawa Motoharu's left arm with his dagger like a poisonous snake, and blood spurted out instantly.

"Ah!" Yoshikawa Motoharu screamed, and at the same time felt that his left hand lost consciousness.

"My lord!" At this time, the surrounding servants finally arrived. Seeing that Yoshikawa Motoharu was injured, they immediately went berserk and besieged the middle-aged man.

Facing the crowd's siege, the middle-aged man raised his dagger without hesitation, went up to kill without hesitation and shouted: "Kill!"

After several fights, Yoshikawa Motoharu's servants not only failed to kill the middle-aged man, but even let the middle-aged man escape.And this middle-aged man who escaped was the number one ninja of the Luo family, Kato Duanzo, who was secretly sent by Zheng Liang.The so-called you do the first day and I do the fifteenth, since Mao Liyuan sent someone to assassinate him, he will naturally give Mao Liyuan a gift in return.And it's not just a gift, it's a number of gifts.
