Chapter 377
Edo!
The base camp of the Tokugawa shogunate, in the shogun's palace, the shogun, the imperial three families, and the confidant ministers discussed together.
The attack on the port by black ships seriously threatened the prestige of the shogunate.
Although the shogun had sent the sailors into battle to block Edo Bay, the black ship was too fast.
Not only was the ship fast, but the artillery fire was more intense.
It was like a black elf, coming and going like the wind, the cannon fire was like thunder, and the sailors who went out to fight were sunk by it nearly twenty ships.
You must know that these twenty are not small boats, but half of the main warships of the Dongying Water Division.
So much so that now the sailors do not dare to attack again.
You can only watch the black ship show off its might.
The people of Edo were terrified.
The most important thing is the messenger who sent to bring back the news.
King Dongying and those royalists who are hiding in the shadows want to take this opportunity to turn over?
"Those guys, it's long overdue!"
"Damn!"
The head of the Imperial Three Families was furious, and if what the envoy said was true, the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate would be torn apart.
The so-called Imperial Three Families.
It refers to the daimyo of the feudal clan.
The three most important and most powerful.
That is, the Owari Domain, the Mito Domain, and the Kii Domain.
These three families are allowed to use the Tokugawa surname.
If the shogun has no heirs, the heirs are selected from the Owari and Kii families of the Gosan.
It is equivalent to the two veins of the Great Song Dynasty, the heirs of Taizu and Taizong, which vein is broken, and the person of the other vein can be topped.
Of course, such surprises generally do not occur.
The young shogun sitting on the top seat listened to the arguments of his confidants and ministers, and his face sank like water.
He has mixed feelings right now.
For a while, it wasn't time to do anything.
The enemy he has to face is not a small minion in Dongying, but the Great Song Dynasty, one of the nine great dynasties.
09 Although in the evaluation of the Nine Great Dynasties, the Great Song Dynasty has always been the tail of the crane and is known as the "Weak Song".
But emaciated camels are bigger than horses.
The Great Song Dynasty really wanted to take care of him, but it was easy.
But if he wants to admit defeat now, it is impossible.
He is a shogun, if he is casually soft, what do the people and samurai in the country think?
Headache!
At this time, a eunuch came in, and beside him, whispered a few words.
A smile suddenly appeared on the shogun's face.
"Good!"
"Great!"
He got up excitedly.
"What happened?"
The head of the three royal families, and the confidant minister, watched him together.
The shogun Fang Jue lost his temper, smiled slightly, and said easily: "The white-clothed sword saint is here!"
"What?!"
The crowd exclaimed.
Instant ecstasy!
The white-clothed Sword Saint is a taboo in Dongying, no one knows his name, and no one knows his teacher.
Even, some people say that he is not from Dongying, but from one of the nine great dynasties.
But no matter what.
He is the first person in Dongying and the first sword in Dongying.
This point, even the masters of the Four Sword Sect, all recognize.
Because of the disapproval, the person who tried to challenge him, is dead.
The title of "Sword Saint" is the laurel given to him by the people of Dongying.
This title varies from country to country and to country.
Great Qin has the sword saint Gai Nie, and the Tang Dynasty also has the sword saint Pei Min...
But.
Shogun, how did he invite the white-clothed Sword Saint?
Everyone was curious.
Although the white-clothed Sword Saint is in Dongying, he rarely has anything to do with the world, he is a pure swordsman.
What is purity?
Alone!
A sword!
Or wander the world!
Or hide in the mountains and forests!
Hone your sword skills.
They are by no means different from those who practice swords in pursuit of fame and fortune.
Although they also have various feelings and desires that cannot be eliminated by human beings, there are also good and evil in them.
But they are not obsessed with the thrill of slashing their opponents.
Nor do they covet fame or material gains.
They draw their swords just for the sake of self-realization, that is, their own pursuit of swordsmanship.
They were born for kendo.
Dugu seeks defeat, Ximen blows snow, and the white-clothed sword saint are such people.
In the face of everyone's doubts, the shogun smiled and said nothing.
In fact, he sent someone to invite the man in white, but he just wanted to try it, if there are fish or not, cast a net first.
Caught and earned.
If you can't catch it, you won't lose it.
Unexpectedly, he really came.
The man in white is the great master of the realm of heaven and man.
With him in charge.
Edo worry-free!
The shogun rekindles his confidence.
He and the others came to the hall outside.
"General!"
In the hall, there is more than one person.
There were also two monks and two samurai with swords.
When he saw the shogun, he bowed slightly to show respect.
Their arrival made the shogun and everyone happy.
Because the two monks and the two samurai are both grandmasters, they are the best masters in Dongying.
The two monks are Master Hongshin from Kono Shingon Temple and Master Hoendo from Keganji Temple in Nara.
Two samurai, one is Chiba Shinichi of the North Star Ichito-ryu, and the other is Yoshioka Masao of the Kagami-inastus-ryu.
It's just that now the four True Realm Grandmasters, in front of the man in white, are all quiet and in awe.
His white clothes were still dazzling white in the sun.
His black hair was still black and glowing.
His sword-like body stood straight.
It still exudes a compelling domineering spirit.
There is no need to look at it, everyone can feel the coldness, sword aura, and indifference that exudes from him.
"White..."
As soon as the shogun spoke, the eyes of the man in white had already swept over.
Suddenly.
Heaven and earth are forcing a murderous aura!
The gaze is like a sword.
The shogun's whole body was hairy, and he was terrified, and his hair stood on end.
The man in white said coldly: "I am here for the martial arts, not to help you, what you discuss has nothing to do with me." (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
That's a very polite remark.
But the shogun, not at all, was not at all embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Sword Saint, please take care of yourself!"
The man in white remained motionless, still standing on the steps outside the hall.
When the shogun saw this, he did not shy away from suspicion.
He bowed slightly to the other four people and said, "Please come here because some time ago, the celebrities and samurai of various clans were assassinated. "
The shogun knew who did it, but he didn't say it explicitly.
Because he was afraid.
But Yoshioka Masao and a few people have nothing to be afraid of, and said bluntly: "These people must be people from the Great Song Dynasty martial arts!"
"I heard that in the Great Song Dynasty, there was a martial arts myth, who was named King Jing, and he was enveloped by the people of the rivers and lakes and worked for him!"
"They invaded our country, and they must have been driven by the Jingwang Palace. "
"The ambition of the wolf son of the Jingwang Mansion killed the lord of the Liusheng domain first, and now it is even more provoking trouble, which must not be forgiven!"
Anyone who can come here knows what's going on.
They have no good impression of outsiders like Zhao Wuxian.
Let a group of outsiders do whatever they want on their own land?
The people with lofty ideals in Dongying Wulin have long fried the pot.
Disgrace!
Intolerable!
Under the rule of the shogunate, the spirit of the samurai was promoted, and in the struggle against the Ming Dynasty, these samurai were given great self-confidence.
Dynasty?
Aren't you also beaten by their ronin?
In this kind of self-confidence, he was suddenly slapped hard and stepped on twice, who could stand it?
"Fight back, we must fight back, let the Song people know that we Dongying people are not easy to mess with!"
"Get them out of Dongying!"
"The Great Song Dynasty is richer than the Ming Dynasty, in my opinion, we should also go to the coastal area of the Great Song Dynasty to have a look!"
Chiba Shinichi and Yoshioka Masao were all filled with righteous indignation and shouted with high morale.
Their attitude, in essence, represents the attitude of a large part of the samurai class, the aristocratic class.
It is precisely because of these attitudes that the shogun will have the previous entanglement.
He could not easily surrender to the enemy.
Otherwise, these people who support him will immediately backfire.
The shogun was not easily persuaded by them, and he looked at the white-clothed man standing outside the hall.
Can this catastrophe survive?
The key is still in the man in white.
Even Yoshioka Masao and them have heard of the Jingwang Mansion.
The shogun will not get less information than them, and the opposing camp has the great master of the Heavenly and Human Realm.
You must have it too.
Soldier against soldier, general against general.
There is only the mutual containment between the great grandmaster and the grandmaster.
Only then can the war return to normal.
Otherwise, the other party's great grandmaster will take action and slaughter all of his own high-level leaders, so what else is there to fight?
The major dynasties and countries in Kyushu are trying their best to win over grandmasters and great grandmasters, and it is for this reason.
Following the shogun's gaze, everyone also looked at the man in white.
Chiba Shinichi, Yoshioka Masao and others had jealousy flashing in their eyes, and there was a hint of hatred in them.
When the men in white rose, but stepped on them to take the position, which one here was not his defeated men?
It's just that they don't dare to retaliate.
The two realms of the grandmaster, return to the truth, heaven and man.
It doesn't sound like much of a gap, but only when you are in the middle of it, do you know that there is a world of difference between these two realms167.
The four of them went up together.
I'm afraid it's not enough for the man in white, who is in the realm of heaven and man.
Such a big gap means that it is extremely difficult to return to the truth.
The man in white stood there, closing his eyes and recuperating his mind, like an ice sculpture, exuding coldness, and the living should not approach.
Suddenly.
He opened his eyes, and there was a condensation of sword intent, looking at the sky in the distance.
"It's coming!"
He spoke suddenly.
"Huh?"
"What?"
The shogun, Chiba Shinichi and the others showed puzzled expressions, and followed his gaze, the sky was blue and cloudless.
What's coming?
Someone from heaven?
How can it be!
It's not an immortal, it fell from the sky!
When Chiba Shinichi mocked in his heart, a little golden light appeared in his eyes, and it became bigger and brighter.
"What's that?"
Someone exclaimed.
A golden point of light appeared in the sky.
Immediately after, there was a high-pitched, astonishing chirp that pierced people's ears.
The people of Edo Castle were attracted by this sound and couldn't help but look up.
"Divine Bird!"
"That's a sacred bird!"
Inside the city, there were sharp-eyed people who exclaimed.
"What divine bird?"
"Look!"
Edo Castle, everyone was shocked.
I saw a golden divine bird with a wingspan of more than ten zhang and a huge body, enough to cover the sky and the sun, across the sky.
Call!
Wherever it passed, the wind swept and the trees swayed, and the sand and rocks flew away.
Its speed is extremely fast, and its golden feathers have a hint of red flames, which makes it even more powerful.
It's shocking, it's oppressive.
Crash!
In everyone's horror, the sacred bird got closer and closer, closer and closer, and many people could already feel the wind.
"Run!"
"Get out of the way!"
The people of Edo suddenly came to their senses and fled in all directions, because the wind blew down the houses where the sacred birds swept by.
There are more flammable ones, which directly ignite a fire.
Accompanied by the sound of "boom".
The Golden Divine Bird violently smashed open the door of the Great General's Mansion.
The terrifying wings are like two heavenly swords.
Everywhere I passed, the wall collapsed, and the destructive power was amazing.
