Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 168 A Brutal Plan

The moonlight is like water, and in a quiet room, a faint scent of sandalwood permeates.

Through the half-open window, mottled light and shadows are sprinkled on the tatami, and the plain patterns on the white paper screen sway in the wind, just like the shadows of bamboo outside the window.

There are also cherry blossoms in the vase, but the petals are sparse and appear more transparent under the moonlight.

In the empty room, the dancers' skirts fluttered with the melody, and they spun like fallen leaves, dancing in the night breeze. There was a hint of sadness in their melodious singing.

A serious-looking man was sitting in front of a small table, tapping the table lightly with his fingers, as if he was keeping the beat to the song.

His fingers didn't stop until there was a knock on the door. Although the dancers were still singing and dancing, he was no longer in the mood to listen.

"Go down."

After the performers in the room left, the respectful middle-aged man outside the door walked in and said, "Master, the thing you asked me to pay attention to has happened."

The middle-aged man had a nameplate on his suit, which was out of place with the environment here. The nameplate on his chest read "Fumio Tagawa".

Sitting in front of the small table is the head of the Tagawa family, Yuichi Tagawa.

"Is it about the Nakayama family?"

"Yes," Tagawa Fumio replied, "Nakayama Meigi invited some Koreans to Tamamonomae."

Tagawa Fumio smiled and said, "This old guy knows his own limitations. He even looked for people from his hometown when something went wrong."

"It's a pity that those organizations in South Korea that are not up to standard are still far from being good enough."

He waved his hand and said calmly, "Let's prepare according to the previous arrangements and add more manpower. Anyway, the time is still tomorrow night. Make sure to strike a fatal blow."

"Yes, master."

Fumio Tagawa opened the door and came out. Three performers were waiting in the corridor. One of them was a man dressed as a woman and was particularly handsome.

This man is both a Kabuki actor and Tanaka Yuichi's bodyguard.

After he and Fumio Tagawa greeted each other, Fumio Tagawa left.

Li You's plan scared Li Mingyi.

"You mean you plan to just come and kill them all, right?"

Li Mingyi was numb. He didn't sense any joking element from Li You. It was obvious that Li You was not joking.

"Isn't this a bit too risky? That's their base camp."

"Anyway, you're not allowed to use guns," Li You curled his lips.

It’s not that Li You is arrogant, but without the threat of guns, he can say without hesitation that he is the most powerful person in the known world, and even John Wick can’t stop him.

If there is still something unknown, just pretend he didn't say it.

Under the absolute crushing of physical functions, ordinary people could not survive more than one round in front of him.

As for those masters of cold weapons and fighting, Li You could dodge bullets by using bullet time, not to mention cold weapons and fists and feet.

"Although the Shimazu family prohibits the Osaka underground organization from using firearms, those ninjas are best at assassinations and surprise attacks. Even though you may have superior martial arts, you can't defend against the sneak attacks, right?"

Coincidentally, Li You was able to defend himself. No matter whether it was factors that would indirectly lead to Li You's death or factors that would directly lead to Li You's death, the death warning would instinctively alert him.

For example, if Li You was poisoned and could not die for the time being, but was shot to death by someone coming from behind, the death warning would warn him before he was poisoned.

Li You spread his hands and said, "You just need to tell me the time, place, and people, and then wait at home. I will solve other problems."

Seeing that Li You was unmoved, Li Mingyi sighed, picked up the cup on the long table, toasted to Li You, and drank it all in one gulp.

He originally thought that Li You was a master planner who was proficient in assassination, but he did not expect that he was an absolute fighter.

"It's not you who should be worried about this, President."

Li You drank a glass of wine with a smile, "It's the Tianchuan family. Believe me, they are like chickens and dogs to me. You can just wait for good news at home."

He paused, "But are you sure you don't need me to kill all the Tagawas?"

"What will happen to me if I leave evidence?"

"I don't know," Li Mingyi said frankly, "This is the first time I've encountered something like this, and it's the first time I've encountered an assassin like you who plans to kill someone directly in their home."

"In the past, other families would assassinate each other quietly. Even though they knew who did it, if they lost, they lost."

"You should be fine if you kill the witnesses for doing this?"

He sighed, "Actually, you should ask Shimazu Hiroshi about this. What he says will work."

Although Li Mingyi was still a little skeptical and even thought that Li You's doing this would lead to bad things, he still took out his cell phone and called Shimazu Hiroshi.

"Master Shimazu," Li Mingyi said in a steady voice, "I am Li Mingyi."

"What's the matter, Mingyi-kun?"

"You should also know about the Nakayama family and the Tagawa family. I called to ask you."

"If we kill all the witnesses of the Tagawa family with cold weapons, is that legal?"

Shimazu Hiroshi laughed over there, "If anyone can do it, it's compliant."

"In the rules I made, it is said not to kill unrelated people. As long as they are from the Tagawa family and saw the person who did it, Mingyi-kun can do it."

"But please be careful not to cause a large-scale war between families, otherwise the Shimazu family will intervene."

In Shimazu Hiroji's eyes, this was already very moral. He could just let the two families fight to the death and kill all the core members. Anyway, even if all the members of both families died, he could still take over the business of the two families and Osaka would not be in chaos.

The Shimazu family has become more peaceful under his management over the years, because they have already made enough money and control all the underground forces in Osaka. As for political and military power, the High Table will solve it for the Shimazu family.

But he still has to make this rule, otherwise chaos will always accompany Osaka. The Japanese gene of overthrowing the superiors is engraved in their bones. Once there is no strong suppression, there is no telling how crazy these unstable factors in Osaka will become.

"How long will you stay in Japan this time?" After hanging up the phone, he asked his friend who was drinking in front of him.

"Two days. My goal is to reach Tokyo in two days."

As he spoke, Shimazu Hiroshi sighed, "You are always on the road, never stopping."

In Tamamonomae, in the backyard, Li Youzheng was smiling as he looked at the six girls in front of him holding wooden kendo swords. They all changed into black kendo uniforms and tied a tight samurai belt around their waists.

Li Mingyi had just finished a phone call. In order to dispel his doubts, Li You took the initiative to propose a competition with the six people.

It can be seen that the professionally trained girls on the opposite side were not very convinced, but they still maintained good composure when facing their future masters.

"They can speak Korean, right?" Li You looked at Li Mingyi, and the old man nodded, "This group is going to follow me and my wife, so they naturally have to know Korean."

Li You understood. He looked at the girl standing in the middle. "If I remember correctly, your name should be Xuexi? Are you the best swordsman here?"

The girl in the middle nodded and said nothing more.

"Come, let's try it alone first."

"Xuexi," Li Mingyi nodded solemnly, "Just follow your usual practice of sparring."

Li Zongliang quickly brought a jar filled with gray powder. The girl silently covered the wooden sword with the gray powder.

Li Mingyi smiled and said, "If the gray powder touches your body, you will be injured. If it touches your vital parts, you will die."

Another girl stood between Li You and Xue Xi and raised her hand.

The moment her hand fell, Xuexi arched her waist and slid towards Li You lightly and quickly, the girl's ponytail fluttering in the air.

Li You stood opposite her and saw through all her attacks.

Xuexi herself is like a sword drawn from its sheath, agile and fast.

The wooden sword swung in a sharp arc, and a "whoosh" sound was heard in the air, as if it was split in two by this force. Li You slightly turned sideways to avoid the attack.

Gao Yuan Xuexi already felt happy enough, and she put all her strength into every attack, but the man in front of her was like a helmsman at sea, perfectly controlling his body still in a suit and skillfully dodging every one of her swords.

Even in such an intense confrontation, his breathing remained even and he could extricate himself from this state at any time.

After Xuexi failed to hit Li You no matter how hard she attacked, Li You immediately threw a counter-punch with a whistling sound, and the punch came at the right moment when the girl swung her knife and was unable to defend herself.

Xuexi hastily raised her knife, trying to block it with the blade, but she could only watch as the fist smashed the wooden sword into pieces and rushed straight towards her face.

Li You finally stopped and the wind from his fist blew on Xuexi's face.

"How?"

Li Mingyi clapped, "Good skills."

Li You stood with his fists clenched, his arms hanging naturally, "Next, all six of you come together."

"."

Li You, who had initially proved his ability, did not face Li Mingyi's repeated dissuasion.

Xuexi put on a new wooden sword, and the six girls held long wooden swords.

Li You smiled slightly, tugged at his tie, and waved at them.

Suddenly, their movements were sharp and smooth, like black waves raised by the wind, and they pounced towards Li You who was standing in the center of the courtyard. The sound of the wooden swords breaking through the air was particularly abrupt in the quiet space.

They even do some joint attacks.

Although the whistling sound of the wooden sword breaking through the air was very loud, Li You just focused his attention and entered the state of bullet time. All the attacks were clear at a glance. He could even see the flying insects that were almost frozen in the air not far away.

In the second before the sword blade was about to touch his body, time seemed to stop, and the efforts of the kendo girls were in vain in an instant.

Their speed and strength turned into slow motion in front of Li You.

He tilted his body slightly, and with the improvement of his physical fitness and bullet time, he could now perform various actions at normal speed in this state, accurately avoiding each attack of the girls.

In Li Mingyi's eyes, six girls were waving knives and approaching Li You. Li You just flashed in a second... and appeared on the other side, dodging all the attacks easily while strolling in the garden.

He rubbed his eyes, "What is this?"

"I don't know, President Nim." Li Zongliang next to him could hardly hide his surprise, "Is this a human?"

It was as if Lee Yoo blurred for a moment in his original position and then appeared on the other side, avoiding the girls' attacks.

The air was filled with tension as the girls' attacks became more and more fierce. Every swing of the wooden sword and every flip of the body was so precise and fast.

But no matter how hard they tried, the wooden swords made sharp sounds of wind, but they could never touch Li You at all.

As time went by, the girls' breathing became increasingly rapid. Although their attacks were still fierce, they were obviously exhausted.

On the other hand, Li You remained calm and composed, enjoying the competition. After all, there were not many opportunities for him to fully utilize bullet-time attacks.

"Ha!" The girls shouted in unison, waving their wooden swords as fast as lightning and with unstoppable force.

In their eyes, it was as if time was favoring the man in front of them. Whenever the wooden sword was about to touch the corner of Li You's clothes, his figure would miraculously slow down, as if traveling through the cracks in time and space, and every dodge was just right to avoid the sharp blade.

Li You dodged the attack and smiled calmly. It was a really enjoyable exchange.
