Chapter 360

"Why did you come?"

When Bao'er's ox cart appeared in front of the gate of Daitokuji Temple, he was already impatient to wait, and the former shogun Ashikaga Yoshiki, who has now retired, jumped out and asked Bao'er why he came so late.

"Because..." Bao'er showed the glutinous rice balls in his hand that were so sweet that people could die, and said to his senior brother: "The owner of the meatball shop is too enthusiastic, so he insisted on inviting me to eat meatballs in his shop, so I was delayed a little time."

But Jian Xin added just as Master finished speaking: "Before that, there were also the owners of fried tofu shops, soba noodles, grilled saury, wagashi shops, and rouge gouache. boss."

Yihui: ...

Zong Yan: ...

Bao'er was too lazy to explain to them that they only went to the rouge shop to buy incense.Because Bao'er knew that no matter how others explained, the two senior brothers would not believe themselves, and they might even be ridiculed for not being a pure man at all!
When these swordsmen who participated in the decisive battle in Nijo Castle half a year ago got the weapons they had been thinking about for several months, they all said that it was worth the wait!Just like the rumors, the swords sent by Kujo Yui are indeed one-of-a-kind boutiques, worthy of being a weapon worth 8000 guan!

Moreover, these warriors also found that there was not even a trace of burnt blade on the precious sword that Bao'er gave them.And when they took a closer look at the weapons in their hands, what surprised them even more was that the weapons were as smooth as a mirror, with no trace of being folded or forged at all.And there are no traces of casting on these weapons at all, which has completely become an unbelievable miracle in the eyes of these samurai who are used to the traditional samurai swords that are folded, forged and covered with soil!

But in fact, what a miracle!Bao'er doesn't know how Rafael fiddled with high-carbon manganese steel. Anyway, people say that using crucibles to make steel can always produce some strange alloys.This batch of manganese steel alloys used to make weapons is the latest scientific and technological achievement made by the Incheon Metal Research Institute.

At this time, the knife maker has completely turned into a human-shaped knife-breaking tool. They only need to heat and beat a steel billet into a customized shape according to the customer's requirements, and then temper the blade body.However, because the bladesmiths have not yet understood the properties of the new alloy, the scrap rate after tempering is slightly higher.But the swordsmiths don't care at all, because they don't have to dig and search for the so-called jade steel like they used to!All materials are ready-made, which is a revolutionary liberation for them!
Don't talk about folding and forging with them, and don't talk about three-piece combination and Jiafu forging, they are all forced by the steel material!The swordsmiths of this era have no concept of following tradition and protecting traditional craftsmanship.The guys they forged are used to cut people. As long as the performance of the sword can be improved, people will not stick to traditional crafts!
Therefore, after the unremitting research of the swordsmiths, there appeared the strange treasured swords in the hands of these people in front of Bao'er, which were neither folded and forged, nor had burnt edge patterns!When Raphael mailed these weapons to Bao'er, he also repeatedly assured that the hardness of these weapons is definitely above 57hrc, and can definitely achieve the effect of 65 manganese steel chopping!

In order to test the sharpness and durability of weapons, these dozens of people almost chopped up all the straw mats that can be bought in Kyoto.It is said that Dade Temple has not purchased any more firewood for several months.After they verified that the weapons in their hands were indeed not the magical weapons they had previously known, they left Dade Temple gratefully one by one and returned to Yoshioka Gymnasium.He also took Bao'er to participate in their Flying Swordsmanship Visualization Conference...

Bao'er: What the hell...

In the end, it was still cheaper for Wu Chi Luo Lang, because he could finally let go of his hands and feet to fight others.Even though he never got cheap from the two sword masters and other two or three first-rate great sword masters, he still enjoyed the challenge until Bao'er suddenly received a message from Raphael two days later. Down.

And the message sent by Raphael is also about the movement of the capital!

Rafael: "Master Governor, something big happened in the capital! The woman surnamed Wan has already started to fight back desperately. Lord Huai En in the palace and Lord Shang Ming in Dongchang were sent by the emperor to Nanjing to guard the tombs of other emperors. "

Bao'er: "When did it happen?"

Raphael: "According to your younger brother Tianci, Master Huai received the emperor's oral order more than 10 days ago, and was immediately escorted away in secret. Your brother was also released by Jin Yiwei in the last few days."

Bao'er: "And then?"

Raphael: "Your brother asked me to tell you that you are ordered to leave immediately and return to the capital to protect the prince going south."

Bao'er: "What's going south?"

Raphael: "The emperor of Dameng ordered the prince to go south to visit the graves of the former emperors."

Bao'er: "That's called paying homage to the ancestors!"

Raphael: "Well, it's to pay homage to the ancestors. In addition, your brother has been cut off from all his duties and is now hiding with me. And the connection between us and Dongchang was completely cut off when Eunuch Shang stepped down. Yes. Your brother asked me to tell you that there is no one in Dongchang who can cooperate or support you. Now go to the capital, you can trust no one except Liu Jian, the prince’s teacher! Especially Dongchang , your brother said that the current Dongchang is no longer the former Dongchang, they have turned to the woman surnamed Wan!"

Bao'er: "Understood, I will rush to Sakai Port as soon as possible, where can I find you and Tianci?"

Raphael: "Three days later, in the morning, there is a fast boat bound for Incheon, and we will meet in Incheon!"

After hanging up the communication, Bao'er took Luo Lang and the other three out of the Yoshioka Dojo alone, and said to the three, "I want to go back to Dameng to do something, do you dare to follow?"

Hearing Bao'er's inexplicable words, the three of them suddenly laughed, and asked in unison: "When are you leaving?"

"Don't you care what the old lady is going to do?"

Luo Lang replied decisively: "As the arm of the adults, we only need to know what to do."

"We have to go back to protect the crown prince, because Wan Zhen'er may be detrimental to the crown prince, so you guys are very likely to become enemies with your former companions." Bao'er asked the three of them again: "Do you still plan to Go, I allow you not to participate in this mission."

But Luo Lang still asked Bao'er repeatedly: "When are we going to leave?"

The other two also nodded, expressing that they would follow Bao'er to advance and retreat together.

"Okay! Then the four of us will go to the muddy water in the Longtan and Tiger's Lair together!" Then, Bao'er asked the three of them again: "Can I trust the three of you completely?"

The three of them were obviously taken aback when they heard this, and then the three of them realized that it was finally time to express their sincerity to Mr. Lin.

Bao'er found a large soup bowl from Yoshioka's dojo, and poured some sake into the bowl.Seeing this, Luo Lang took the initiative to step forward, cut his left hand with a knife, and dripped blood into the bowl containing sake.Feng Wu and Huo Chou also stepped forward, imitating the example and dripping their own blood into the bowl.

Seeing that the three of them had expressed their views, Bao'er also stepped forward.But he didn't take out the knife, but poured zhenqi into the tip of his right finger and drew it to the palm of his left hand, and then a stream of blood flowed into the bowl along the wound cut by zhenqi.Bao'er was the first to raise the big bowl filled with sake and blood, and said to the three of them:
"From today onwards, the four of us will advance and retreat together, live and die together, and if we betray ourselves, we will be punished by the five thunderbolts!"

After finishing speaking, Bao'er drank another sip of wine from the bowl, but because Bao'er used to not drink alcohol except for beer and fruit wine, the first sip of sake almost choked him so much that he almost sprayed the wine again come out.With great difficulty, he pressed the wine into his stomach with real energy.

Seeing that Bao'er was fighting like this, the other three immediately knelt down on one knee and bowed in unison:
"From today onwards, the three of us will swear to follow you to the death, advance and retreat together, live and die together, and if we turn our backs, we will be punished by the five thunderbolts!"

The three of them ended up with the big bowl in Bao'er's hand, and just after they finished drinking, they heard a deafening thunder from the sky.It seems that the oath of the few people was firmly remembered by God in the small book.

"Actually, my mother has been secretly protecting the prince's biological mother under the orders of her adoptive father Huai En for so many years. That is Concubine Ji Shu who died unexpectedly in the fire in Nei'an Hall nine years ago!"

"hiss!"

The three of them were shocked to hear the secrets of the harem, and couldn't help but gasp. Only then did they fully understand that they had been completely involved in the disputes of the Tian family.But the three of them couldn't help but not regret it, but eager to try it.Because in the eyes of the three of them, Concubine Wan Gui and her brothers and party members are almost dead!
