Jianming Chaos

"Who is Master Mi Hai?" Zhiming asked.

"A senior monk, an old friend of our feudal lord, is also someone we respect. He predicted not long ago that there would be a savior from the other side of the ocean in Yidu country, who could save the country's fate. His prophecy is very true. That's right." Zuo Mu said solemnly.

"The savior? Alas, what a big joke!" Zhiming thought with a wry smile. At the beginning, he was also regarded as the savior in ancient Persia. Didn't Persia also perish in the end?

Zuo Mu saw that his expression was not right, and asked, "What's wrong with the chivalrous man?"

Zhiming came to his senses and said, "It's nothing. Mr. Sagi, I think you misunderstood me. I'm not a savior. I'm just an ordinary person who was ordered to come to your country to find someone. Since your government failed to provide any good clues , then I should bid farewell."

After all, he wanted to get up and leave.Zuo Mu put his hand on his shoulder and said in a sincere tone: "Wait a minute, chivalrous man, please listen to me again."

Zhiming thought for a while, sat down again, and nodded.

Zuo Mu's face became a little darker, and he said: "Could chivalrous men have the heart to watch the people of Yidu Kingdom suffer in dire straits day and night? Have the heart to watch our country be divided up by those powerful countries?"

Zhiming shook his head and said, "Lord Sagi, I don't think you understand what I mean. I'm just a warrior, not a savior, and I can't save the common people in the world. I deeply sympathize with what happened to Yidu Kingdom, but I How can it be possible to rely on an outsider to solve the affairs of the country? If you want to talk about wars, why am I not a big man?"

"I understand, but you are indeed the person that Master Mi Hai predicted. He swore in front of our feudal lord a few days ago that a savior will come from Han on the other side of the ocean in a few days to save our country and our country. People. Although I can’t name you, judging from the actual situation, you are the person the mage said.” Zuo Mu’s eyes were full of justice and expectation, and the evil spirit from the previous martial arts competition has disappeared.

Zhiming recalled the scene of the fall of the Persian imperial capital, and Xiao Lan's desire to stay away from the battlefield, but he was powerless to help her. What can be saved cannot be saved, and what should happen will happen.”

Zuo Mu saw the mystery from this sentence and said: "A chivalrous man seems to be a person with a story. Where there is wine, there is a story. Come, now that there is wine, I want to hear your story."

"I'm sorry, I'm really not in the mood to talk about it now." Zhiming was in a complicated mood at the moment, and he didn't want to talk more.

"Don't you want to know how I defeated you last night?" Zuo Mu tactfully changed the subject.

Hearing this, Zhiming regained his energy immediately, and asked, "Why couldn't I perform my ultimate move last night? What happened to your ghost dance trick? How did I pass out?"

Looking up at the ceiling, Zuo Mu sighed, and said, "Since knights don't want to share, let me tell my story. In fact, my real identity is a demon walker."

"Demon World Walker?" Zhiming came into contact with new terms again.

"Yes, it's a bit similar to a human onmyoji. I have no parents since I was a child, and my master raised me. I only know that I am not an ordinary human being, and that there is a power from the devil world hidden in my body, both good and evil. It is very powerful, and sometimes it is so big that I can't control it. Later, by accident, I joined the warrior group of Nuchi Heizu, and with my outstanding martial arts, I became the leader of the warrior group. I have participated in the More than 30 battles, it can be said that we have walked all the way to today with bloody corpses. Unfortunately, the bravery of ordinary people cannot change this general situation. The comprehensive military strength of Yidu Kingdom is too weak. If we do not have a group of brave and powerful , The samurai group that regards death as home, I am afraid it has been annexed by a powerful country long ago."

"It seems that the power of the samurai cannot be ignored!" Zhiming had to sigh.

"That's right, samurai are a very precious war resource in troubled times. Every clan will carefully cultivate its own samurai regiment as a symbol of its own strength. It's a pity that compared with ordinary soldiers, our country's samurai The number is not large. Therefore, we often find some ronin from outside to come in as retainers, or reincorporate them into the samurai establishment to help the clan fight against foreign forces."

"Wonder?" Zhiming had never heard of this term.

"It's a samurai without a name; to put it bluntly, it is a samurai who was reduced to a 'fallen warrior' due to defeat or other reasons, no longer under the management of the feudal clan, or kicked out of the house. In fact, the Matsushima who fought with you last night was originally a The homeless ronin, I took him in because I saw that he had a good foundation in martial arts and was a man of talent. His strength was already very strong before he entered the feudal mansion. Under my guidance and transformation, His strength has basically reached the level of the red belt. Such a good warrior, I don’t know which clan has blind eyes and abandoned him. He has always refused to reveal his past to us.”

Zhiming had to admit that if he hadn't shown his supernatural power last night, he might have lost to Songdo.He asked again: "You still haven't told me, what's the matter that I couldn't perform the trick last night?"

"In the battle last night, I brought out my true power. Your unique move may have been suppressed by my demonic power, making it impossible to perform it. The ghost dance is one of my unique moves. It can make you hallucinate and I was attacked by some kind of hallucination, and then lost consciousness." Zuo Mu explained.

"Then the woman I saw in the hallucination..." Zhi Ming didn't know how to express it.

"Are you referring to Qianqing? She is my original woman. She used to be a kabuki in China, but unfortunately died in an invasion of Yamatai. I didn't want to be a samurai at first, but because I witnessed her death with my own eyes, It was only when she made up her mind to become a warrior. After she passed away, due to her strong resentment, she turned into a 'soul spirit' in my body, and later helped me practice the ghost dance."

"It's too complicated. It turns out that there are objects similar to gods and demons in Yidu Kingdom, but the form of existence is different. Why can the power of the demon world in his body seal my power? Is it because of the 'soul spirit' he called? If If we can solve this mystery, maybe we can find out the way to defeat Tianfeng!"

Thinking of this, Zhiming suddenly got a little excited, and said, "It turns out that your identity is so different, no wonder you can easily defeat me. I thought I was invincible in Yidu country, but I didn't expect to meet you on the first day. opponent."

"Xiashi, you are serious. Your strength is no worse than mine, but you just can't adapt to the new opponent. The strength in my body is normally controllable, but if it encounters special circumstances, it will be difficult to say. Like yesterday The same night. If my opponent is not you, but a very ferocious beast, I may not be able to restrain myself and tear it apart. The power of the demon world is like a double-edged sword, which exists in my body forever , can help me fight against other evil forces, and will destroy me one day. I still don’t know where I came from, or even why I came to this world.” Zuo Mu held up the cup, staring at the wall of the cup on the pattern.

"Are there any other demon walkers in Yidu?"

"I'm not sure at the moment, but I think there is; even if my country doesn't have it, other island countries must have it, and I can't be the only one." Sagi said with certainty, "Because the demon walker looks like a human on the surface, It is difficult to distinguish; only when it exerts its power can the identity be determined." Zuo Mu issued a magic power and scalded the wine in the cup into shochu.

"Does anyone in the palace know your real identity?"

"Yes, not many. Both the feudal lord and Master Mi Hai know about it."

"Since you have such a powerful force, you can also be the savior. Why did you come to me?" Zhiming was puzzled.

"First, with my own strength, I can't fight Yamatai and other powerful countries. Second, you are the person predicted by Master Mi Hai. He said that you are the real savior."

Zhiming couldn’t laugh or cry, he felt that his life experience was really “rich and colorful”——due to using the wrong crystal ball, he traveled back to ancient Persia, and was regarded as the savior by the people of the imperial capital. It can't be saved; now I come here to look for people, and I was hit by the so-called "prophecy" of the so-called mage, and became the savior again, maybe I will be dragged into the battlefield and die in another country.Could it be that this is his destiny?Didn't he come to this world to destroy the White Tiger God?Do you want to save the troubled world?The most important point is that ancient Persia and Yidu Kingdom are not the troubled times he lived in!

"Heroes, please don't worry too much. In fact, my idea is very simple. You just need to accompany me to complete one thing." Zuo Mu was afraid that the other party would retreat, so he stabilized before speaking.

"What's the matter?" Zhiming already guessed seven or eight points without asking.

"I want to sneak into the capital of Yamatai Kingdom with you and assassinate their queen Himiko." Zuo Mu finally got to the point.

"Cup... what?" Zhiming didn't react for a while, he was dumbfounded, although he had a premonition.

"H-mi-huh." Zuo Mu gestured with his fingers on the table, "This is the name of their queen."

"Their king...no, the emperor is a woman?" Zhiming finally came to his senses and asked.

"Yes, and she is a very dominant woman. Under the Queen's strong military policy, the strength of the Yamatai Kingdom has become stronger and stronger. In order to expand its territory, it has continuously launched foreign wars and gradually eroded and annexed the surrounding small countries. There are already many The weak country surrendered. Their next target should be the Yidu country." Zuo Mu's brows were furrowed tighter than hemp rope.

"So, you want to use the strength of the two of us to go straight to Huanglong and take the queen's life?" Zhiming understood.

"That's right, as long as the queen dies, the other side will be in chaos. Perhaps this war can be avoided. In fact, when you first entered the mansion, I had already discussed this matter with the lord." Zuo Mu had obviously thought it over.

"But how do we enter the capital of Yamatai?"

"This brings us back to the topic just now. I want to ask again: How did you come to Yidu Country?" Zuo Mu looked at Zhiming with an indescribable look.

Zhiming understood, a certain maid saw him using black hole magic just now, and told Zuo Mu.

"I think you already know the answer, why ask me?" Zhiming thought that since the other party was honest with each other, he couldn't hide too much.

"Have you ever studied Western magic?" Zuo Mu seemed to know a lot.

"...That's right, I have a magic teacher who taught me this kind of teleportation magic. In fact, my coming to your country this time is also related to him." Zhiming hesitated for a moment and said.

Zuo Mu put on a very curious look, waiting for his explanation.

"He was controlled by some bad guy. If I don't find and send Cai Wenji back in time, his life will be lost. I can only tell you so much at the moment." Zhiming told the other party the ins and outs concisely.

"So that's the case, no wonder I saw an expression in your eyes that you can't wait to save someone. It turns out that what you really want to save is not Cai Wenji, but your master." Zuo Mu suddenly realized.

"My purpose of coming here is very clear. I hope you can tell me about her first." Zhiming said while staring at the other party's pupils.

Zuo Mu didn't say anything for a long time, and seemed to have something to hide, so he had to drink to relieve the embarrassment.

Zhiming knew what he was thinking, and said, "I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, I won't cross the river and tear down the bridge. Now that I've talked about this, I won't leave without explaining to you."

Hearing this, and seeing Zhiming's unwavering gaze, the fog in Zuo Mu's heart suddenly dissipated. He slapped the table, raised his glass and said, "Hero, come, let's finish this glass again!"

The two did it together.Zuo Mu said: "As far as I know, Cai Wenji was handed over to the Emperor as a tribute by the Ito Group of the Shuoka Clan three years ago; after that, the Emperor acted as a representative and paid tribute to Yamatai Kingdom."

"What?! You mean, Cai Wenji is no longer in Yidu Kingdom?" Zhiming thought that she could be rescued easily.

"It's very likely. Unless the emperor hid her privately and didn't pay tribute, but it's unlikely." Zuo Mu frowned and said.

"From this point of view, things are far from as simple as imagined." Zhiming suffered a lot of psychological blows.If the person cannot be rescued in time, Coopers will die, and it may be already...

"That's true. Therefore, we must go to Yacheng, the capital of Yamatai Kingdom, to know the truth." Zuo Mu told the truth that Zhiming was not willing to accept.

"It seems that riding a tiger is difficult. Now it's not just about assassinating the queen, but also about saving people." Zhiming nodded after thinking carefully.

Zuo Mu showed a relieved smile, and kowtowed to Zhiming in a kneeling position to express his gratitude.

"My lord, you don't need to be too polite, I can't bear it." Zhiming quickly asked him to return to a sitting position.

"Master Mi Hai is right, you are indeed the savior of our country!" Zuo Mu was so excited that he almost cried.

Zhiming could see that although Sagi was a high-ranking samurai and a demon walker, he was still a loyal man in his bones; what's more, he also had the experience of losing his lover, which was cultivated all the way through grief. Martial arts are definitely beyond the reach of ordinary people.If it wasn't for Cai Wenji's matter, Zhiming might really refuse to assassinate the queen.At this moment, he can only go to the tiger's den with Zuo Mu.
