Great Tang Southern Emperor

"There are also talents among the common people. If we can find some, it will be a little fresh blood for us... No... There is a problem..." The burly man had just explained the beginning, but suddenly his face turned pale. Once changed, his face became very ugly.

"What's wrong?" Sister Ono was arranging her clothes, and was taken aback when she heard this.

"Don't bother me..." The burly man pushed Sister Xiaoye away without showing any mercy, as if she wasn't the one with him just now.

After pushing away Sister Ono, the burly man took out his binoculars and looked at the ring. After observing carefully for a while, he said, "No, why is his knife so heavy? It's still so strong... What kind of wood is the same quality as steel in your Japanese country?" Is it hard and heavy?"

"The hardest wood in our country should be iron wood." Sister Ono thought for a while, and said: "This kind of wood is very hard and heavy. Some down-and-out warriors even use this kind of wood to make knives. , its sharpness is no less than that of an ordinary iron knife... What's wrong?"

"It's okay, if that's the case, then I'm relieved." The burly man breathed a sigh of relief, and made a false alarm. He had heard the name of Ironwood before, so he naturally understood the characteristics of it. If it was Ironwood, it should be able to explain it. It worked.

It turned out that when he was watching the arena just now, he found that one of the teenagers' weapons was actually a wooden knife, which made him very surprised, so he couldn't help paying more attention.And the ensuing battle surprised him even more, because the boy with the wooden knife actually used his wooden knife to hold the enemy's knife, and it was not once or twice, but several times, although the enemy's knife was not famous. It's only made of bronze, but even so, it's not something ordinary wood can block, which makes him a little suspicious.But when Sister Ono talked about Tiemu, she let go of her doubts—ordinary wood is indeed unable to block the slashing blows of bronze weapons, but Tiemu... Since it is called Tiemu, it should be able to withstand a few more attacks. time?

What this burly middle-aged man didn't know was that because of Sister Ono's inadvertent misleading, he missed the only chance to see through the enemy's conspiracy, and this miss also led to the downfall of his power later.

"Well, there are quite a lot of good seedlings this time. I can't tell that you still have a lot of talents in Japan. In a short while, there are more than a dozen good seedlings." His satisfaction grew stronger and stronger, because there were too many good seedlings this time. In this short hour, he had already seen more than a dozen good seedlings, and each of them was brave and extraordinary. The enemy usually can easily knock out the opponent's weapon with just a few moves. If it is not for the fact that they cannot kill in the contest, their enemy would have died long ago.

"But why are their weapons all wooden knives? Isn't this too uniform? Is your Japanese country rich in iron and wood?" The burly man put down his binoculars, looked at Sister Ono, and asked strangely: "And even their moves It’s pretty much the same, which is really weird.”

"It's impossible. Iron wood is a very rare wood even in our Japanese country." Sister Ono smiled: "But you don't have to doubt them. The reason why their weapons are so uniform is because they come from the same place."

"Same place? Could it be that they were taught by the same teacher?"

"That's right, your lord is really smart."

Seeing the burly man's interested expression, Sister Ono explained: "My lord, although you have penetrated deeply into the Wa country, after all, the time is too short, so you don't know much about the situation in some remote areas. In fact, there is also a martial arts inheritance in the Wa country. Yes, although there are not many famous ones, there are also some powerful swordsmen who have opened a school to teach students. And if I guessed correctly, they should all be disciples of Feitian Yujianliu."

"Flying swordsmanship? What school is this? Does the Wa country have this school?" The burly man knows that the Wa country has martial arts inheritance. After all, the communication between the Wa country and the Central Plains did not start from the Tang Dynasty. In fact, it started from the Han Dynasty. At the beginning, the Wa country was already communicating with the Central Plains. After so many years, some martial arts schools of the Central Plains have also been inherited by the Wa country, and they have been changed by the Wa people themselves, becoming their own martial arts schools.

Chapter 1198 Li Zhen's bad taste!

Chapter 145 Li Zhen's Bad Taste!

But the strong man swears that although he has a deep understanding of the Wa Kingdom, he has never heard of the kendo school of Feitian Yujian Style-in fact, it is far beyond Sister Ono's guess. The penetration of the Wa Kingdom is much deeper than she imagined. He even knows some secrets about the palace, let alone the schools that represent martial arts. Those who are placed have their own manpower.

However, he had never heard of this so-called Flying Sword Style, which made him feel a sense of crisis in his heart, as if something was out of control.

"It's normal that you don't know the name Feitian Yujianliu. In fact, not everyone knows this name even in Japan." Sister Xiaoye explained with a smile: "Even the little girl knew this name by accident. The name of the genre, but if you are hearing the leader of this genre, you should know who the little girl is talking about?"

"Oh? Who?"

"Fei Cun Jianxin, he also has another title called Ba Dao Zhai." Sister Xiaoye spat out her cherry lips, and said a name that would never appear in this era - there is no doubt that this must be Li Zhen's bad taste broke out.

Speaking of Li Zhen's bad taste, it has appeared many times. For example, the thirteen knights beside him are armors made according to the style of the thirteen knights in "Kamen Rider Dragon Knight", including weapons. They were all cast in strict accordance with equal proportions. In addition, the weapons in "Feng Yun" were also copied by Li Zhen, and some of them were even taken out by him and rewarded to his subordinates.There are also those weapons in history, such as Qinglong Yanyue Knife, Zhangba Snake Spear, Tiger Head Zhan Golden Spear, Gentian Liangyin Spear and so on.

All of the above have appeared before, and this time Feicun Jianxin is obviously another bad taste of Li Zhen. The name of the character in the later Japanese comics.

In addition to personal names, including Yuedaitou and Wadao, there is a shadow of Li Zhen behind them. Otherwise, Yuedaitou, which would only appear in the [-]th century or even the Warring States Period, would not have appeared in this period anyway.

There is also the Japanese sword, but this time it is not just for bad taste, part of the reason is to make money, because without the envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty, the Japanese country cannot obtain technology from the Tang Dynasty, and domestic weapons are in short supply, and an ordinary iron soldier can even be sold. A handful of hundreds of taels of silver, if the quality is excellent, then the value is tens of thousands of cards.Therefore, the treasurer of a caravan under Li Zhen quickly discovered business opportunities from it, and reported to Li Zhen that he hoped to engage in the arms trade to Japan.

Originally, Li Zhen was unwilling to agree, because the Wa country was destined to be one of the places he would conquer in the future, and it was likely to be the first to be conquered. At this time, dumping weapons to the Wa country does not mean that he is funding the enemy ?If this incident gets out, it may have a considerable impact on Li Zhen's reputation.

But then Li Zhen changed her mind. The current Datang is not the historical Datang. At this time, hot weapons in the Tang Dynasty have become popular. Whether it is guns or cannons, even grenades and explosives, they are not as powerful as cold weapons. It is comparable, so just selling a little cold weapon to Japan, not only can earn a lot of money, but also does not increase the opponent's strength much, why not do such a business - at worst, only sell long-range weapons such as swords, bows and crossbows and heavy weapons Just don't sell weapons to them.

But no matter what, selling weapons to future enemies is not good for reputation after all, so Li Zhen built a sword factory specially for this matter, and at the same time improved Tang Dao and made it according to the form of Japanese Dao in later generations. And by selling it, it can be regarded as completely removing myself from this matter. Even if the sword factory is seized in the future, the factory director will definitely not bite Li Zhen out.

"Hi! I knew it when you said him." The burly man suddenly realized that this Feicun Jianxin is very famous in the country of Japan. He appeared in the country of Japan nine years ago. He dominated the entire Japanese country with his skills, and was honored as Ba Dao Zhai. Although there was no official recognition, many warriors still regarded him as the number one swordsman of the Japanese country and respected him exceptionally.

It's just that he appeared for a very short time, only one year, but in this year, he killed hundreds of people, each of whom was a swordsman who came to challenge him, and it was precisely because he killed too many people. Many people later felt that their hands were covered with blood, so they broke their swords and announced their retirement.

"That's right, Feitian Yujianliu is the name of Feicun Kenshin's school, and it's not like he didn't do nothing after he lived in seclusion. Instead, he established a kendo gym and renamed it Hiko Seijuro, taking pleasure in teaching his disciples. "Sister Ono explained.

"Bigu Qingjuro, it turned out to be him, the owner of Feitian Kendo Gym." The burly man suddenly understood that he had never seen Himura Kenshin, but he also knew his name, and had organized and tried to recruit him. He, but has not been found, I really did not expect that he actually lives in seclusion near Namba Palace under a pseudonym.

As for Seijuro Hiko, he is the owner of the Flying Kendo Gym located in Namba Palace. Although he has some strength, he is not seen by the forces behind the strong man—it turns out that he is the Japanese country who has lived in seclusion. First swordsman.

"It seems that this Feicun Kenshin is not only good at swordsmanship, but also has an extraordinary ability to teach apprentices." The heart of the burly man moved, and the idea of ​​recruiting Feicun Kenshin became stronger in his heart.

Because with the development of the period of great voyages, his organization also made a lot of money, and followed Li Zhen's model of training the youth army, and formed a youth battalion to train dead soldiers for the organization, but because the time was too short, there was no training yet. come out.So the burly man thought, if he could recruit this Feicun Jianxin and let him serve as the swordsmanship instructor of the youth battalion, he would definitely be able to quickly make the youth battalion a fighting force.

"His swordsmanship is indeed very good, but two fists are no match for four hands. My lord, there are so many of you, Feicun Kenshin will definitely not be your opponent." Seeing this, Sister Xiaoye thought that the strong man was against her. Jealous of flattering Fei Cun Kenshin, he quickly flattered him.

"Let's not talk about this, huh? The competition seems to be over?"

It turned out that while the two were talking, all the hundred guards that Emperor Kotoku needed to recruit had been selected, all of them were teenagers, and each of them was the elite among the elites who had gone through many selections.

Chapter 1199 Assassinate the emperor, causing chaos

1Chapter 16 Assassination of the emperor, causing chaos

"Since you have been selected, let's go quickly, my lord, and let the servants take good care of you." Sister Ono urged, already wet.

"You little rascal, it seems that I haven't fed you enough just now." Hearing this, the burly man picked up Sister Xiaoye and jumped off the high platform—the high platform was nearly two feet above the ground, and he hugged her. There was still a person in his arms, and nothing happened when he jumped from such a high place. From this, it can be seen that this strong man has extraordinary skills.

What the burly man didn't know was that it was because of Sister Ono's suggestion that he didn't see the game to the end, which caused him to lose his last chance to escape.

In the arena in front of the Imperial Palace, the selection competition has been completed. Although some players have not had time to play, according to the rules set by the emperor, a player only needs to beat five enemies to be selected.This time, civilians only had [-] quotas for guards, so even though there were still many people in the audience, after choosing enough people, the game ended as scheduled, which disappointed many people.

According to the previously established procedures, after the trials, Emperor Kotoku needs to show up to summon the warriors, and issue rewards to the warriors, including weapons and armor.So after the group arena, everyone did not leave, but stayed where they were and waited for the emperor to appear. Although they were not selected as guards this time, it was worthwhile to see the emperor's jade face once.

A quarter of an hour after the end of the group arena, the square outside the Imperial Palace erupted in loud cheers, because Emperor Kotoku appeared, not only Emperor Kotoku, but also the royal family including Prince Nakadai.

"Woo la la la..." A string of birdsong came out of Emperor Kotoku's mouth, which probably meant to praise the warriors for their bravery. They were the pride of the Daiwa Empire, and so on. In short, they were all words of praise.

After a set of red tape, finally came the most critical moment - the emperor bestowed treasure.

Emperor Kotoku had just received the treasured sword from Tang Dynasty from his entourage, and came to the first young man. He was very impressed with this young man. If he remembered correctly, this young man should be called Hanzo.The reason why I can remember this name is because Hanzo Nen’s performance just now was very amazing. All the opponents who challenged him on stage were defeated by him. He, therefore deliberately ranked him first.

"Hanzo, your performance is very good, keep working hard." Hanzo is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also very handsome, which made Emperor Kotoku feel happy when he saw it, and couldn't help but encourage him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor..." Hanzo immediately bowed to thank Emperor Kotoku for his praise, and the moment he bowed, a cold light flashed across his eyes.

"Continue to work hard... Slightly..." Emperor Kotoku didn't finish his sentence, because a wooden knife passed his throat, and the blood filled the throat instantly, blocking his throat and vocal cords--of course it was Hanzo , bending over is not only a posture of saluting, but also the starting posture of drawing a sword. The sword drawn from this posture is not only fast and sharp, but also stronger than drawing a sword straightly, which can be extremely powerful. Greatly enhance the power of slashing.

"..." Everyone was shocked by this scene. No one thought that someone would assassinate the emperor in the selection group arena. Everyone, including the royal family, was stunned.

Others were stunned, but Hanzo and his companions were not. Half of the [-] teenagers who were originally lined up in several rows pulled out the wooden swords around their waists, and turned towards the royal family and nobles. kill.

"Zi!" The sound of the wooden knife piercing through the air.

"Pfft!" The sound of a knife piercing into flesh.

"Clang!" The sound of swords intersecting.

"Crack!" The sound of the weapon being cut off.

"..."
