Jianming Chaos

"Why is this knife in your hand? Wasn't it confiscated as a murder weapon?" Zuo Mu's eyes flashed.

"This is my own knife, a genuine killer's knife!" Matsushima showed the Shadow Alliance logo on the blade and handle to the three of them.

"This...how is it possible?! You...didn't you have no official weapons at that time?" Zuo Mu still couldn't believe it.

"I'm sorry, leader, I lied to you!" Matsushima thrust the knife into the ground, knelt down on one knee and said, "In order to join the feudal mansion smoothly, I had to hide this knife. Because I know, when you see this The mark on the knife makes it impossible to absorb me; moreover, it is inconvenient for me to assassinate, because I know that even if no murder weapon is left at the scene, you can quickly find the murderer according to the wound on the corpse, and I will be exposed identity."

Zuo Mu suddenly understood everything, and he looked at Zhi Ming.

Zhiming took advantage of the situation and said, "It's good to be brave, the matter of the murder weapon is settled, and I can finally be cleared of the crime."

Matsushima put the knife back into its sheath, held it in both hands and handed it to Zhiming, and said in relatively proficient Chinese: "Lei Xiashi, thank you for your kindness! I have offended you before, please forgive me!"

"It's okay, you just wanted to avenge your sister because you lost your sister; besides, I hurt your waist, so this matter...understand, understand." Zhiming took the knife and said generously.

"Lei Xiashi, I would like to ask another question. How did you get your knife?" Matsushima asked curiously.

"This..." Zhiming didn't know what to say for a while, he didn't want to expose Shang Qi's true identity.

"I think... it should be given to you by a shadow alliance killer who has retired for many years?" Matsushima actually knew about it last night.

"I'm sorry, I really have no comment. Please forgive me." Although he knew that the other party knew about it, Zhiming still couldn't say the name of the sword owner.

"It's okay, I'm just curious." Matsushima also retreated knowingly.

"...By the way, I promised to return the knife to him. I have to find a way to get his knife back." Zhiming said.

"Don't worry, leave this kind of stealing to me. It's a trivial matter." Matsushima volunteered.

"Master Takeno, now that the feudal lord is dead, you are the most senior person in the feudal mansion, I implore you to be our acting feudal lord temporarily!" Zuo Mu said sincerely.

Takenouchi was a little flattered. Just now he was an accomplice and almost fell into the law, but now he is being promoted as an acting feudal lord. The ups and downs in this life are too frequent, right?

"Master Zhuye, you just 'reluctantly' to be the one, so that everyone will have no leader and have a meal without peace of mind." Zhiming winked at him.

"But...it's not something I can become if I want to. The new feudal lord must be issued an edict by the emperor himself, entrusting the Dabianguan (a kind of official name) to issue the appointment document in the jurisdiction. At present, we must first get rid of the assassination of the feudal lord. Report to the emperor and ask the emperor to issue an edict as soon as possible." Takenochi raised concerns.

"I am also aware of this, but 'there are policies above, and countermeasures below', during this window period, I will trouble you, Mr. Takeno, to take charge of the internal affairs of the feudal mansion. Lei Xiashi and I still have a major task to do Execution is related to the fate of the Ito country, and there is no time for other things." After Samu finished speaking, he said to Matsushima, "Please go and replace the weapon immediately, Lei Xiashi and I are about to act."

Matsushima led the way.Takenouchi hesitated for a while, then left too.

"Let's have breakfast first, and then discuss how to act." Zuo Mu took Zhiming to the restaurant.

Later, the "truth came to light" about the assassination of the feudal lord, Zhiming was successfully cleared of the suspicion, and no one was held responsible. Zuo Mu used his unique majesty to place the murderer's charge on a non-existent killer, causing everyone to feel guilty. There is nothing to say, after all, Zhiming's saber is still on his body, and there is no evidence to prove that the feudal lord was killed by him.

The wife and Matsushima expressed their gratitude to Zuo Mu and Zhiming for their actions, and said that if their sister had a spirit from heaven, they would be very pleased.

Under the vigorous recommendation of Sagi and others, Takenouchi became the temporary acting feudal lord, which is what everyone expected.He seized the great opportunity and logically "brought Chunji under his banner", and the two became husband and wife.This is for later.

After breakfast, at Zhiming's request, Zuo Mu took him to see Master Mi Hai.Sure enough, Master Mi Hai's ancestors were also from Kyushu, so he can speak Chinese fluently.

"Master, with all due respect, do you really think that I am the savior? I am just an ordinary soldier who crossed the ocean from the other side, not a savior. The fate of the Yidu country is in the hands of the people, in my opinion , There is no savior in the world at all. This is a role imagined by ordinary people to achieve self-comfort. The stability of a country depends not only on the decision-making of the leader, but also on the joint efforts of thousands of people. "Zhiming spoke bluntly.

"Is it really that important to be the savior?" Master Mi Hai asked with narrowed eyes.

"It doesn't matter to me, because the purpose of my coming to your country is very simple, just to find people; but now that I have come here, I still want to know the answer. I think that everyone has his own mission in life, not random I just live in the world casually. Can you give me a definite answer?" Zhiming said expectantly.

"Instead of spending time here looking for answers, why don't you go to Yamatai to carry out your mission earlier! Go there, and you will naturally have the answers you need." Master Mi Hai began to chant sutras with his eyes closed.

Zhiming and Zuo Mu looked at each other, and then asked: "How did the master know all this? Could it be..."

Seeing that Master Mi Hai had started to meditate on the scriptures, the two of them got up and left without disturbing them.

When the two stepped out of the room, the mage's deep and undisturbed voice came from behind: "Don't be disturbed by demons, or your soul will be sucked away by the queen. Remember, remember!"

The two nodded their thanks.After leaving the mage, the two came to a secret place, ready to go.Zhiming changed into his original clothes.

"Just now the mage said, don't be influenced by the inner demons, otherwise you will be sucked away by the queen. Is the queen of Yamatai really so scary?" Zhiming felt that the enemy he was about to face was not simple.

"I have never confronted the queen before. I only heard that she is a master of sorcery. As for whether she is a demon walker, whether she can absorb souls, it remains to be confirmed." Zuo Mu took out a copy of the Japanese Islands from his arms. On the big map, show Zhiming the location of Yacheng, the capital of Yamatai Kingdom.

"The location is not too far away, so I should be able to sense it." Zhiming felt that the sum of all the island countries here is less than a quarter of the size of the big man.

"Should you be able to pick me up?" Zuo Mu knew he could use magic.

"It shouldn't be a big problem to pick up someone. My magic power is not deep enough, so I need to brew it for a while." Zhiming began to close his eyes to get luck.

After a while, there was no movement, and Zhiming couldn't use the black hole magic.

Seeing the bean-sized beads of sweat on his forehead scrambling to flee to the ground, Zuo Mu felt bad, and asked, "Are you... all right?"

Zhiming was concentrating on his exercises and couldn't answer.A quarter of an hour passed, and the black hole magic still couldn't be used.

"No, I'm not strong enough..." Zhiming opened his eyes, feeling powerless, maybe because the smell of alcohol hadn't dissipated, maybe because he didn't get a good rest last night.

"Why don't you rest for a while." Zuo Mu helped him sit aside.

Zhiming felt top-heavy. Sure enough, this kind of magic can't be used frequently, it's too hurtful.He said regretfully: "I guess we have to ride there. If we go now, we won't be there until tomorrow night, right?"

"I'm fine. The point is, aren't you in a hurry to go back to Dahan to save people?" Zuo Mu reminded him.

"Yes, but I really can't use it now. Or..." Zhiming suddenly remembered the magic ring in his hand, "I'll try to use this."

"What kind of ring is this?" Zuo Mu had noticed the distinctive ring on the opponent's hand long ago, but he was always embarrassed to ask.

"One of the six ancient Persian artifacts—the magic ring, you can... try it." Zhiming didn't want to reveal too much.

"An ancient Persian artifact? What is the function of this historic ring?" Zuo Mu became more and more curious.

"You'll know right away." Zhiming asked Sagi to put his hand on his shoulder, and pressed the button of the magic ring.

Sure enough, the magic ring hadn't returned to normal yet, but it flashed for a moment, showing signs of "rejuvenation".

Zhiming thought for a while, and thought that something stimulated it to cause this reaction.He thought of the holy knife "steel soul".

"Master Zuo Mu, please do me a favor." Zhiming thought of a plan and handed the saber to Zuo Mu.

Zuo Mu was taken aback, took the knife, and asked, "What do I need to do?"

"Aren't you a demon walker? This knife has killed countless people. There should be a lot of ghosts and ghosts condensed in the blade. I need you to use your magic power to introduce these ghosts into my magic ring and activate it." Zhiming said out plan.

"Can this work?" Zuo Mu felt that this was simply whimsical.

"Ordinary people may not be able to do it, but you are a demon walker, so you might as well give it a try." Zhiming was full of confidence in him.

Zuo Mu hesitated for a moment, nodded, and began to use magic power to summon the soul in Steel Soul.

Zhiming saw the shadows of once-living life gushing out of the blade one after another, rising to a high altitude, gathering into a cloud of ghost energy, and injecting it into the magic ring in his hand.

Immediately, the magic ring was successfully activated, and Zhiming clearly felt that a demon soul was reborn!Moreover, he felt that some incredible changes had taken place in his body, as if he had acquired a super strong energy.

"Thank you, Uncle Shangzaki... No, Yamada Yabe, the once feared super killer!" Zhiming said sincerely in his heart.

Next, of course, is the teleportation link.With the help of the magic ring, the two came to a deserted place in Yacheng.The magic ring is very good at picking, especially picking places that are not eye-catching.

Zuo Mu was dumbfounded in astonishment, he didn't expect this seemingly ordinary ring to contain such a powerful function.

According to the map instructions, the two came to the core area of ​​the capital, and at a glance, the imperial palace was in front of them.

The flow of people in the capital is relatively large, and the local language is consistent with Yidu; it is not difficult to see that the traces of war have been deeply burned on everyone's face.

"How? Just break in?" Zhiming knew that it was broad daylight, and if he broke through the barrier directly, he would be easily captured.

Zuo Mu couldn't make up his mind, after all, this was an operation without a specific combat plan.For him, assassinating the queen is the top priority; for Zhiming, finding Cai Yan is the top priority.

"Can this ring send us directly to the queen?" Zuo Mu wanted to go straight and take the queen's life.

"No, because the exact location of the queen cannot be determined." Zhiming shook his head.

"Meaning, we can only go in and look for it slowly?"

"As it stands, yes."

"Let's go, you and I are not ordinary people, so there is no need to be afraid!" Zuo Mu patted Zhi Ming's shoulder, summoning up his courage and walking forward.

The two passed through the crowd and walked towards the gate of the outer wall of the palace.The closer you are to the palace, the less the flow of people. Obviously, the sense of distance between high-ranking officials and ordinary people is quite strong.

When they came nearby, the two stopped.Apparently, if they had only moved a little further, they would have attracted the attention of the soldiers above the palace walls.

"What should we do next?" Zuo Mu seemed to ask himself, but also asked Zhiming.

"Let me think about it." Zhiming also began to hesitate, after all, this kind of thing is usually done at night.

Suddenly, the gate of the palace opened, and a group of soldiers rushed out, as if something had happened.

"What's going on?" Zuo Mu asked an uncle next to him in Yidu.

"Don't you guys know that something happened inside the palace last night?" the uncle asked back.

Sasuke froze for a moment, then shook his head.

"I heard that some masked men sneaked into the palace late last night and took Cai Wenji away." The uncle said softly.

"What?!" Zuo Mu turned pale with shock, "Someone actually got there first?"

"What's the first thing to do?" The uncle didn't understand.

"It's okay. Uncle, thank you." Zuo Mu hurriedly took Zhi Ming's arm, turned around and left.

"What's wrong?" Zhiming didn't know what they were talking about just now.

"He said that Cai Wenji was kidnapped by a group of masked men last night." Zuo Mu's face darkened.

"What?!" Zhiming shook off his hand, stopped and asked, "What's going on here?"

"I don't know either!" Zuo Mu continued to pull him forward, "Don't stop, don't look back! Those soldiers must have come out to post a reward notice, or if they saw someone suspicious, they would directly escort him back for interrogation."

Zhiming also began to feel restless. He finally came to the country of Yamatai, and he had already seen a ray of light, but "Cheng Yaojin" came out halfway, causing the clues to be broken again.He really couldn't figure out, besides him, who else was planning Cai Wenji's idea.
