Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

His clothes were relatively clean, but there was a liveliness in his eyes, like a sparrow on a branch in the countryside.

"Is something wrong?" Bai Yu said in Yingzhou dialect: "Lost?"

The boy shook his head.

Bai Yu raised the octopus balls in his hand: "Want to eat this?"

The boy swallowed, but still shook his head. With a red face, he shyly but with some persistence pointed at the sword hanging at Bai Yu's waist.

Bai Yu couldn't help but laugh. It turned out that he wanted to touch the sword.

Yes, for children of this age, swords play a very important role in their hearts.

Don't talk about them. When I was a child, or even when I grew up, when I picked up a particularly good branch, I couldn't help but swing it dozens of times, until my hands were sore, I couldn't bear to throw it away.

Swords, in the eyes of the Chinese, are rivers and lakes.

For adults, swords are dangerous and need to be kept away.

Bai Yu picked up the Caihong Sword and placed it in front of the child.

He wiped his hands vigorously, hugged the heavy sword with bright eyes, and stumbled back.

Bai Yu held his shoulders and stood firm.

The child, about ten years old, smiled and was missing a front tooth.

He couldn't even draw the sword now, he could only feel the scabbard and hilt.

The joy in his eyes overflowed, as if he had simply captured the dream of traveling the world with his sword.

The ordinary families in Yingzhou are the lower-class families. Even in Edo City, they still have a lot of money. Living here does not mean that they can gain a foothold here.

It is impossible for many children to learn swordsmanship. It is extremely difficult to join a gym with swordsmanship inheritance. Ordinary people may never have the opportunity to touch a real sword in their lifetime.

Bai Yu felt like she was wandering thousands of miles away.

Thinking back to when I first arrived, it had only been a few months.

Suddenly, a slightly harsh sound of breaking porcelain was heard.

He came to his senses.

At the same time, a couple not far away came over. When they saw the boy holding a sword with a silly smile on his face, and then caught a glimpse of the young man next to them, the couple suddenly became nervous and embarrassed.

The man stepped forward and started to talk stammeringly.

A few words were said back and forth.

Bai Yu touched the boy's head, and under the boy's reluctant eyes, he took the sword back and hung it back on his waist.

After nodding slightly to the couple, he immediately walked to the restaurant with a Chinese sign.

Yun Danfeng's gentle attitude fascinated a group of upright young girls on the bench.

After entering the hotel.

The atmosphere became increasingly anxious.

Hu Hu had already arrived on the first floor. His face was disfigured, with a wound on his face dripping with blood.

Trapped in the middle by those who had the numerical advantage.

The person negotiating with Hu Hu seemed to be an Edo gangster, and I don’t know which Chinese glove he was.

Wearing a floral shirt, sunglasses, rings and hoop-shaped earrings... they are all very much in line with the stereotype of a gangster.

Bai Yu came closer and took a look at Hu Hu's scalp: "It's a small injury. Just apply some medicine. Why did the conversation suddenly break down?"

"The asking price is too high. This time, my principal will be directly targeted, and my ship will be detained." Hu Hu wiped the corner of his mouth: "How can I bear this? The worst is to drive to Jiuzhou and use the distribution channel!"

"You think you can get away?" The gangster sneered, "You can't leave today. Either sign a contract with us according to these rules, or you will inevitably suffer a little."

At the same time, he looked at Bai Yu aside, and said with a bad expression: "Young pretty boy over there, you'd better not meddle in other people's business, otherwise...!"

Bai Yu smiled, and then unsheathed the sword at his waist.

In an instant, a bright sword light tore through the entire staircase!

The gang leader looked at the bright sword energy spreading to his crotch and fell limply: "You, you, you are in the third realm..."

Bai Yu said: "Now I am his bodyguard. I heard that you want to stop me?"

"No, no, I don't dare..."

Three Realms!

The swordsmen of the Three Realms have a lot of weight in the whole of Edo.

How could these gangsters be hired... He must be from Daxia, he is not a local!

Hua Shirt's thoughts changed quickly and he immediately changed his words: "We can continue to talk! We can talk about everything!"

Hu Hu broke his face and let out a sigh: "What a nonsense! The shitty Edo will never come again. You just wait and engage in such overlord clauses. I will definitely spread this matter in the future. Look. Let’s see who else is willing to continue to cooperate with you!”

Hua Shirt was anxious. He didn't intend to be so cruel at first, but he was still greedy. Who knew that this stinky runner actually had such a strong backing!

With a backend of this level, is it still necessary to earn this hard-earned money? !

He just couldn't understand it, and he wanted to jump up and curse, "You should have said it earlier -"!

"I can give Yu..."

"Shut up, sit down, and don't move." Bai Yu reminded: "Otherwise you will lose parts."

The flowered shirt remained silent and immediately covered his mouth.

The other thugs in black shirts were all covered in sweat.

Bai Yu turned around, sheathed her long sword, and returned calmly... Sigh, I just wanted to travel, but why did I encounter such a bad thing again.

After walking out of the hotel, Hu Hu immediately apologized: "Brother Bai, thanks to you this time, otherwise I might really capsize in the gutter!"

"It's useless to talk more. What will you do next? Go to the dock and continue sailing to Kyushu?"

"We can't go..." the old captain said with a bitter smile: "We are parked at the port of Edo. We can't go anywhere without unloading the cargo. The shogunate will not allow it... and there must be someone on duty in the shogunate secretly giving instructions behind this. , they may be eyeing the profits of running the business, and even want to do business themselves, and don’t want us to control the routes and get dividends.”

"Build your own fleet?" Bai Yu nodded his chin: "It is also a way to make money, but if the shogunate official does this, that is another matter."

"The Daxia authorities will not agree. It must be in private name, so in the final analysis, they want to monopolize the routes." Hu Hu clenched his fists and said: "This is to burn bridges across the river."

Bai Yu said calmly: "Do you still want to go against the shogunate?"

The guard asked with an ugly face: "Boss, is this time the order is so bad?"

Hu Hu lit a cigarette, obviously hesitating.

Several major factions are becoming more and more open-minded, and cooperation can no longer continue. The consequence of seeking skin from a tiger is to be eaten dry and even used as a chamber pot.

I can only find another home.

The Kwantung United Alliance is not monolithic.

Nowadays, they seem to be inseparable, and several groups are secretly showing signs of breaking away. They don't want to continue to be dogs for the people above, but want to climb up to the shogunate and go up.

The Wu family, the Hua family... these are the masters in Yingzhou society. Only after taking this step can they completely get rid of their identity as a mud-legged person.

There are many Yakuza organizations with this ambition, but there are very few who have the ability to reach this point.

After smoking a whole cigarette in silence, he made a decision.

Hu Hu wiped his face: "Let's go find the Bai Feng Group."

When Bai Yu heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Is there such a coincidence?

Chapter 577 I got to this point all by myself!

Afterwards, Hu Hu took the guards and a group of people to another venue.

This time, after passing through an alley, it turned underground.

It was originally a parking lot, but was later transformed into an underground secret room.

When Hu Hu arrived here, there were three other waves of people present, each sitting on the table.

One of the middle-aged men in black clothes said directly when he saw Hu Hu: "I thought you had been detained by the other party. I mentioned it to you before and you didn't believe it. Do you believe it this time? Is your head still wet?" Ask someone to open it."

This middle-aged man had a Chaoshan flavor when he spoke. He must be a businessman from the coastal area.

Hu Hu had a bandage on his head and waved his hand with a gloomy look on his face: "How did you get out?"

The Chaoshan businessman said: "I have some connections in the shogunate, and the other party doesn't dare to do anything to me for the time being."

The leaders of the other two caravans who ran the boat said: "There was a bit of a conflict, but fortunately we had a lot of people with us, and they rushed out by force."

"We've been hiding here for over a week now, and the goods we brought in are stuck at the dock. We have to sell them, and we can't just sit there for another month, and my funding will be cut off," the Chaoshan businessman said. "I'm also worried they'll resort to force. If we get chopped down by a bunch of Japanese here, we won't even be able to get our ashes to the ancestral hall back home."

"You have to find a way to contact others?"

"The Inahaya Association is one of the largest organizations in the Kanto Federation. It is a serious local snake, and its relationship with the shogunate is also complicated. Where can we find an alternative partner? Who dares to go against the Inahaya Association so directly?" A bald head was irritated. asked, slapping the table.

"Yes, there is." Hu Hu unscrewed the flask he carried with him and poured high-strength liquor on the wound. The muscles in his face twitched in pain, and the blue veins on his face popped out. He said in a ferocious voice: "Although Daohao will meet It’s very strong, but it doesn’t cover the sky with just one hand. You should have heard of the White Peak Group.”

"I have heard that the Baifeng Group has developed extremely rapidly in the past ten years. It is a second-generation organization of the Kanto Federation. However, it seems to be very different from the Kanto Federation. It is said that it also has some cooperative relations with Kyoto." Chaoshan people recalled: "But the power of the Baifeng Group The scope is not in the Edo area, so even if they defect to the other side, they don’t have control of the dock, so they still can’t unload the goods.”

"You have to go and give it a try. Are you really going to go back and lose everything?" Hu Hu clenched his fist and said, "Even if you don't make money this time, I can understand it, but you still want to tamper with my ship. This is absolutely intolerable! You all need to understand clearly that if the other party really succeeds this time, all future routes will be lost! Do you really plan to go to Kyushu to argue with those Chinese people? It will be much harder for them to do business!"

No one wants to lose money, and no one wants to be cut off from making money here.

"What are you going to do?" The Chaoshan businessman didn't rush in without thinking. Instead, he said, "After all, this is their territory. If we don't have a plan and just go at it, I don't intend to die. I can save my life and at worst, go back home and find another job."

The other two groups of people had the same idea.

But only Hu Hu has no escape route. He is of mixed race, and is actually a native of Yingzhou. He obtained permanent residency by marrying a Daxia person, but he also has his own household registration in Yingzhou, and his hometown... Others At worst, he would have to find another way, but he couldn't.

Therefore, Hu Hu became more decisive. The old captain patted his knees and stood up: "I have the contact information of the Baifeng Group. It will take about three hours now. Try to do it before dark..."

Suddenly, a voice sounded in the basement.

"I'm sorry, but I can't let you leave."

Following the sound, I didn't know when there was a person sitting on the stairs entering the basement.

The opponent had a knife on his waist and was dressed in a rather strange way, like a modified black military uniform with a blue feather fabric added on top.

The young man with a ponytail was playing with a kunai dagger, his index finger passed through the kunai ring, and he turned the kunai randomly.

His tone was frivolous and casual.

"It will be very troublesome if I let you run away."

The seven or eight guards in the room immediately stood up: "Who are you! How did you get in!"

"Don't speak Daxia dialect, you won't understand."

In the tense atmosphere, the young man with high ponytail raised his hand, took out his ID and shook it.

"Hello, this is the policeman from the Metropolitan Police Department. We have received reports that gambling, fraud and other businesses seem to be going on here. You also have some violations of the rules and fights. According to the law, you will all be taken back and detained."

After hearing the words "Metropolitan Police Department" and "detention", several businessmen at the scene looked ugly.

In their view, this is a typical black and white impermanence, a mixed doubles of the underworld and the white.

The underworld works for those above, and the same goes for the Metropolitan Police Department.

The two groups of people may have different purposes, but the result is the same. They want to restrict their freedom in life and then slowly force them to submit!

Once the terms are signed in black and white, it becomes mandatory. For businessmen who like mobility, the contract of sale is the most abhorred thing.

"Let's go!" the Chaoshan businessman shouted: "Don't get entangled with him!"

Hu Hu had already begun to retreat subconsciously.

The bald head mocked: "You are too cowardly, he is only one person!"

Another businessman scolded: "Putting your mother's flag! If you don't know how to speak, shut up!"

There is naturally a reason for Hu Hu's expression to change.

Because the other party has a great background.

Miburou, Shinsengumi...

The Shinsengumi on Earth is a group of ronin responsible for the security of Kyoto. They were ordered by the shogunate to fight against members of various reform factions. However, after the collapse of the shogunate, they quickly withdrew from the stage of history;

But the Shinsengumi in Yingzhou has been maintained for more than ten years now, because the shogunate in this world shows no signs of collapse, but is developing better than before.
