The First Evolution

Then Yamamoto Gonbei continued to hint, don't think that we don't know about the things you did. There was a solution before: if you want to save Togo Heihachiro, then let him kill his relatives and push you out as a scapegoat.

In this case, the people will be satisfied, the navy officers will also be satisfied, and your brother's position will be preserved. It can be said that it is the best of all three. Of course, if you do this, the only thing that does not feel "beautiful" must be Dongxiang Well.

After hearing what Yamamoto Gonbei said, Togoi could be said to be frightened to his core!

Of course he doesn't want to be "sacrificed", not even for the sake of his brother's future...

Fortunately, he heard another news at this time: Saigo Mongdao, the Admiral of the Navy, seemed to be innocent, but in fact he was not. He would also accept political donations. The only reason for not accepting it was that the money was too little.

As a result, Dongxiang intensified his search and smuggling, and finally spent all his money to raise enough gifts to feed the Navy Minister Saigo. Finally, he turned this biggest stumbling block into his backer.

And how was the final thing resolved?

Navy Minister Saigo Yomichi still introduced a scapegoat, and Fang Linyan also knew this scapegoat. It was Kojima Shige who was on his assassination list! !

Although this guy also has a strong background, he comes from a well-known family and is not afraid of tigers. In addition, he is arrogant and has superb swordsmanship, so he is very unpopular in the entire navy.

Not only that, Kojima relies on his superb swordsmanship, so once someone conflicts with him, he will directly draw the sword and demand a duel.

This is the East, not the West. If you are in other departments, it doesn't matter if you don't accept duels. But in a martial army, losing a duel is one thing. If you don't even have the courage to fight, then it will be really difficult in the future. I can command my subordinates.

Therefore, so far, there are five or six soldiers in the Navy who have been killed or maimed by Kojima's heavy sword. Although Kojima Shige has some abilities and is not corrupt, his popularity can be imagined. He must be in a mess, but no one can deal with him.

As a result, Kojima Shige, an unlucky child, unfortunately played a role in Togoi's history and was ordered to commit seppuku on the charge of "neglect of duty." This vented some of the resentment within the navy.

Then he announced the suspension of Togo Heihachiro. Of course, it was just a talk. In fact, he did what he was supposed to do, and the matter was just ignored.

Of course, the above things are actually things for later, but since I have talked about it here, I will write it down by the way, so that everyone can have the most intuitive understanding of the butterfly effect caused by Lin Yan's luminous pearl.

Early the next morning, Fang Linyan was woken up by Laming. At this time, the morning light was just beginning to appear on the horizon. There were already neatly lined up Japanese people going to work on the street outside. They were about to work for their meager wages. Reward, and then start a hard day's life. .

However, even this kind of (worker) treatment is something that many people dream of or even desire.

La Ming whispered to Fang Linyan:

"There is a carriage parked in front of our hotel. The driver is the old swordsman next to Dong Xiangjing, but the person in the carriage is another person, Kuki Yuan."

Fang Linyan's heart moved and he said:

"Is it him? Yes, strictly speaking, Jiugui Yuan is Dongxiangjing's downline, and needs to rely on Dongxiangjing's existence. In the mall, only those with common interests are the most reliable allies, so there are many things When it is not convenient for Dong Xiangjing to come forward, it is just right for this guy to come forward, so is he here to deliver a message?"

While the two were communicating, they heard a knock on the door outside, and then the timid voice of the dormitory boy where they lived came:

"Mr. Masuda, Mr. Kuuki is visiting. Are you interested in receiving him?"

Laming said:

"welcome."

quickly,

Jiugui Yuan walked in proudly, and the old man who was Dong Xiangjing's confidant followed behind, looking as if he was one of his subordinates. But Fang Linyan and La Ming had seen the old man's skills yesterday, so of course they would not really treat him as a servant.

Jiuguiyuan looked around, then looked at Fang Linyan and said with some disdain:

"It's really unexpected that descendants of the famous Hu family live in such a shabby place. It's really unexpected."

There was both ridicule and contempt in his words!

Fang Linyan said calmly:

"I came eastward, but I didn't come here for enjoyment."

Then Fang Linyan cast his gaze on the face of the old man behind:

"If you are just talking nonsense, then I will ask you two to go out."

Jiugui Yuan's expression changed, as if he wanted to retort, but he held back, and then said:

"I was entrusted by someone to ask, what do you want to do if you risk thousands of miles to come here?"

Fang Linyan took a deep look at the old man, and then said:

"I'm here to buy some arms."

Jiugui Yuandao:

"Arms, what do you want?"

Fang Linyan said:

"I want fifty torpedoes, four Krupp 155mm heavy guns, and three hundred shells!"

Jiugui Yuandao:

"There are many Western businessmen in Shanghai, China. Why don't you buy there?"

Fang Linyan said simply:

"Their things are too expensive. Now our family is in trouble. Even if we risk everything and go bankrupt, we can't buy so many arms!"

Jiuguiyuan sneered:

"Then why do you think you can buy it in Nagasaki?"

Fang Linyan shook his head and said:

"I didn't think you could buy it in Nagasaki."

Jiugui Yuan frowned and said:

"What do you mean?"

Fang Linyan said calmly:

"In fact, my plan is to visit all the ports in Japan and try my luck in them all. Masuda-san knows Japan better, so he suggested that I come to Nagasaki as my first stop."

Jiugui Yuan said with great interest:

"What if you have bad luck all over Japan?"

Fang Linyan shrugged:

"That is fate, and it is also the gaima in Japanese culture. And I am convinced that I lost because at least I tried hard. The worst is to die in a foreign land."

"If I stay in Shanghai, I will 100% miss this opportunity. If I come to Japan, although the hope is slim, there is still a chance to complete this arduous task."

Gu Jiang

Jiugui Yuan looked up to the sky and laughed, his eyes full of contempt:

"hehe......"

Before he could say the harsh words behind him, he suddenly caught the eyes of the old man behind him, and his whole body suddenly shuddered. He could only force himself to calm down, and then said seriously:

"We still have cheap goods here, but how much do you plan to pay?"

Fang Linyan glanced at La Ming next to him and indicated that he would handle the negotiation. La Ming said simply:

"This time Hu Sang came out of desperation and took out all his savings. The current silver plus the treasures he carried are worth a total of 675,000 taels of silver."

This number was carefully calculated by Fang Linyan and the old man at the rear. If you want to buy the list of arms listed by Fang Linyan with this money, you can only buy about half of it if you buy new ones.

After hearing this, Jiugui Yuan immediately sneered and said:

"You want to come and get the goods for such a small amount of money? Also..."

Then he noticed that the old swordsman was staring at him again, and this time his hand was on the hilt of the sword. Jiuguiyuan suddenly trembled and did not dare to say any more.

The old swordsman suddenly stood up, bowed slightly to Fang Linyan and said:

"Old Blade Guard, I have met Hu Sang."

"Hai Wei? This name is very rare among Japanese people. It should be a pseudonym!"

Such a thought passed through Fang Linyan's mind. But he was very deep in the city at this time, so he didn't show this thought on his face. He just nodded seriously, then clasped his fists and returned the salute.

Then Blade Guard said:

"Hu Sang did not hesitate to travel thousands of miles to revive his family. I deeply admire him and will bring Hu Sang back with his conditions."

Then Blade Guard bowed slightly and left, followed by Jiugui Yuan.

However, just as the two of them were going down the stairs one after another, Blade Guard suddenly turned around and took a deep look at Jiuki Yuan next to him.

Jiugui Yuan felt a chill in his heart when he saw it. Just as he was about to speak and explain, he suddenly felt that his throat was dry and tight, and then he couldn't breathe! It felt like there was an invisible big hand strangling my neck.

He suddenly stretched out his hand to touch his neck, but to no avail. After a few seconds, he fell to his knees in pain, with a "huohuo" sound in his throat. The sound sounded extremely terrifying!

Just when Kuukigen began to lose consciousness, twitching and rolling his eyes, Blade Guard stepped forward and struck him hard between the chest and abdomen. Kuukigen immediately felt that the shackles on his neck disappeared, and he felt as if he was freed. As if, he collapsed on the ground and gasped for air.

Jiuguiyuan's eyes were already full of fear at this time. He looked at Blade Guard like a ghost and god, but he heard Blade Guard say calmly:

"You are free to hate who you like, who you like, what you say, and what you do. But! The premise is that it cannot affect the master's plans."

"If I let you act recklessly just now, Hu Zhiyun might interpret it as the master sending you to humiliate him, and then leave Nagasaki directly to look for opportunities in Yokosuka Port. Although this is unlikely, it is definitely not impossible!"

"For the sake of Lord Kuki Jialong, I will give you a chance. Next time, you will commit seppuku yourself."

Jiugui Yuan was covered in cold sweat, panting heavily, silently climbed up, followed the blade guard like a lost dog, and then walked away directly.

However, everything that happened before was also seen by Fang Linyan and Laming. After the two left, Fang Linyan said curiously:

"We are afraid that we have underestimated the strength of this old man. It seems that in addition to being proficient in swordsmanship, he is probably also good at magic arts. His ability to suffocate others with just a glare is really hard to guard against."

Laming suddenly said:

"One side of the heart."

Fang Linyan frowned and said:

"What?"

Laming said:

"The move he used is not a sorcery, but also a swordsmanship. It's called the Heart of the Heart. It's a secret technique of swordsmanship that has been circulated in rumors. The theory is that the strong murderous aura projected from the eyes turns into invisible sword aura, incapacitating the enemy and suffocating him. "

Fang Linyan said in amazement:

"Is this also a swordsmanship?"

Laming said:

"When I first heard about this move, I couldn't believe it was true, but it is indeed recognized by all the major swordsmanship dojos in Japan."

Fang Linyan sighed and said:

"We investigated carefully beforehand and we were right not to act rashly. Otherwise, if we acted rashly, we would have to face these powerful hidden masters, which would be really embarrassing."

***

Soon, Kuki Yuan and Blade Guard arrived at Dongxiangjing's residence. At this time, Dongxiangjing also knew that he was hated by others, and his residence was changing several times a day.

Not only that, every day Dong Xiangjing himself didn't know where he would sleep at night, because he would draw lots at sunset to decide which residence to go to, and then he would rush there temporarily.

Even who to meet and what to do the next day are decided by drawing lots. Although this is definitely very inefficient, it is also very effective in ensuring the safety of Dongxiang Well.

At this time, Dongxiangjing no longer had the calmness he had before. Instead, he was like an ant on a hot pot, walking around in circles with his hands behind his back. All this was just for one reason:

That is, in order to save his life, Dong Xiangjing gave away all the wealth he had accumulated over the years. His net worth was already clean and his treasure house was empty.

Although Dongxiangjing repeatedly told himself that life would always be more important than money, as long as there was no need for firewood, but when he saw his empty safe and secret vault, Dongxiangjing felt heartbroken. The pain of split lungs! !

Not only that, but every time he looked at it, Dongxiangjing's pain became aggravated.

That feeling kept him awake all night, and an extremely strong sense of annoyance and pain kept bothering him. At this time, Dongxiang was extremely hungry, and he hoped to refill his treasure house like never before, otherwise , life will be gloomy, it can be said that you will not know what to eat, and you will have no peace of mind when sleeping.

"How's it going?" Dong Xiangjing, who was anxious and had red threads all over his eyes, asked impatiently first.

Blade Guard lowered his eyes and recounted their previous conversation in detail, including, of course, the series of processes he took to clean up the Nine Ghost Elements.

As a result, before Blade Guard finished speaking, Dong Xiangjing looked at Kuki Yuan expressionlessly:

"Kuki-kun, please repeat what I told you before we set off."

Noticing that Dong Xiangjing's tone was unexpectedly calm, Jiuki Yuan naturally started to tremble all over.

Because he knew Dongxiangjing's temper very well. If he yelled and cursed at a person, it meant that Dongxiangjing still felt that he was valuable to this person.

However, if he is polite, it means that he already feels in his heart that this is a dead person, and he still has to maintain basic respect for dead people.

Jiugui Yuan said in a trembling voice:

"Go...ask the other party about his needs and his base price."
