Smelting and Exploding the Heavens

Chapter 24
Jing Jingren had been recuperating at Chu Ji's home for half a month, and most of his injuries had recovered.

Hatsuhime's father, Kikutaro, resolutely refused to take him in after Jin Jingjing passed out of coma.

But Hatsuhime forced her to die, and in the end Kikutaro had no choice but to hope that Jin Jingjing would wake up and leave early.

Therefore, in order to take care of him, Kikutaro did not go to work in Hyuga country with the men in the village, but searched for healing herbs in the mountains to treat Jin Jingjing's injury.

But seven days later, the scribes of the Yuan army brought some soldiers to the village to count the household registration.

Kikutaro thought they were here to search for the fugitive samurai, and in order to cover up the fact that the samurai were hidden at home, he found an excuse that he was willing to follow the scribes to build the city.

Coincidentally, some destroyed castle towns in Higo Kingdom also needed to be built, so Kikutaro was recruited there, and he took his household card to count the household registration without going to the house to check.

When Jin Jingjing woke up, only Chuhime was by his side.

"Miss Chu Ji, thank you for taking care of me during this period of time, I only have this golden sentence on me, please accept it!"

Chu Ji shook her head and said: "No, you saved me back then, I just wanted to repay you, not for your property."

Jin Jingjing sighed and said, "I'm leaving anyway."

The look of anticipation in Chu Ji's eyes suddenly disappeared, she nodded slightly, "Then please wait a day, let me prepare some dry food for you before leaving."

Kagami Jin thought about it, and agreed.

At night, Chu Ji was making dry food in the kitchen, but Jin Jingjing was looking at the moon outside, thinking about the current war.

Just at this time, there was a burst of noise outside.

Jin Jingjing subconsciously held the knife, frowned slightly, and walked to the door.

Chu Ji ran over in a panic, "Mr. Jingjing, please hide with me, there are bandits here, killing people and looting everywhere!
All the men in the village went down to work for the Yuan army, a group of old and weak women and children could not resist! "

When Jing Jingren heard this, he quickly said: "As a warrior, it is the duty of the warrior family to protect the people, how can you avoid it because of danger!"

Chu Ji pulled Jingjing Ren and said, "But there are at least 30 wild bandits, and your injury is just right..."

Jing Jingren shook his head and said: "Don't worry about me, even if you are injured, you can still deal with some wild thieves! Miss Chu Ji, please hide well, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you when I start!"

As he spoke, he broke free from Chu Ji's pull, and pushed the door out alone.

Fires have been set off everywhere in the village. Those wild thieves broke into every house like wild beasts. When they saw old people and children, they immediately drew their knives and killed them. When they saw young women, they committed vicious crimes on the spot!
They didn't seem to come here purely to plunder, because wild bandits who only wanted money would not do such atrocious things, they simply wanted to vent their fear in their hearts!
Jin Jingjing's eyes could see through the hearts of these bandits, and at the same time, he also saw that they were not ordinary bandits at all. They should have been warriors, existing just like him!

Now they are doing things that even wild robbers would disdain, they are no longer worthy of being called warriors!
Kagai Jin drew his sword in anger and rushed into the crowd.

Under the moonlight, the sword is cold and frosty!

The wild bandits who came besieging didn't even stain his clothes. The sharp blade easily tore everyone's throat, making the blood the embellishment under the beautiful moonlight.

The rest of the wild bandits finally gathered together, and the leader blocked Kagai Jin's fierce attack with superb swordsmanship. The two swords clashed, and they suddenly separated and stood opposite each other.

The leader of the bandits was wearing a large armor that can only be equipped by high-level warriors. He pointed his knife at Jin Jingjing, his expression full of surprise.

"The war ghost of the mirror well family! It's you! Jin Jingjing!"

Jing Jingren also recognized the other party through the fire that ignited in the village.

"Fujiwara-kun?! As Dazai-sama's royal family, how could you do such a thing! You are not worthy to be called a samurai! You are not worthy to serve Dazai-sama!"

Fujiwara's face was as ferocious as a ghost, and he laughed wildly, "Master Dazai? Master Dazai has already died in battle, and Kyushu has completely fallen into the hands of Yuan Kou, don't you know that!"

The information in the mountains was blocked, and Jin Jingjing was shocked when he heard the news for the first time.

"What?! Dazai-sama has [-] troops around him. It's only been half a month, and he just...he just..."

"Jin Jingjing! You are ordered to assassinate the commander of the Yuan Kou, three thousand dead men will pave the way for you, and the warriors of the Great Song Dynasty and Jiahe Shangren will join hands with you.

What about you?You got cold feet!Even the Song man died on the spot fighting against the Yuan Kou, and Yuan Fei Sun Yue died without a whole body!
The whole army of [-] dead soldiers was wiped out, and the Yuan army beheaded and built it into a Jingguan. Where have you been? !Do you know that your head should have been at the top of the three thousand martyrs!

You are sorry to the guardian of Hojo who trusted you, I am sorry to Dazai-sama, you are sorry to all those who believe in you, as long as you still have a little shame, you should apologize at this moment! "

Jin Jingjing couldn't help recalling that hellish night again in his mind, and his hand holding the knife trembled.

Seeing this, Fujiwara suddenly swung his knife and slashed at him.

Jinjing resisted instinctively, blocked three times in a row and was knocked over in the mud.

Fujiwara immediately took advantage of the victory to pursue, raised his long knife, and prepared to assassinate Jing Jingren with one knife.

Jin Jingjing's eyes were empty, and he seemed to have lost the desire to resist.

At this time, Hatsuhime, who had been watching from the side, ran out and threw herself on Kagami Jin.

Seeing that the knife was about to stab Chuhime, Jin Jingjing looked at the tearful face in Chuhime's eyes, suddenly woke up, rolled around with his arms around her waist, and dodged Fujiwara's stab without a moment's notice.

Fujiwara flicked his tongue and cursed angrily, "Bageya Road! Jin Jingjing, why are you running away! Don't you dare to face your fate!"

Holding the knife in his backhand, Jin Jingjing said, "My destiny... is to kill Fan Zhuoyuan and avenge Lord Dazai, Guardian Hojo, Ye Xiuping, and Sarutobi Sun and Moon!
So I can't die yet, no one in Japan knows his strength better than me, and no one has a better chance of defeating him than me!I can't live up to their expectations of me! "

"What are you going crazy, traitor! Take your life!"

A sharp light flashed in Kagami Ren's eyes, he held Hatsuehime behind him with his left hand, and turned his right hand to meet him. The moment he touched the opponent's blade, he used his strength to deflect it to one side, and then turned his wrist and clasped the blade to sweep across inward. , Just wiped Fujiwara's throat without the protection of a large armor.

The blood spouted from the severed artery reflected the moonlight, and one could hear the sound of the wind passing by the ear.

Seeing this, the remaining thieves retreated in horror.

Jing Jingren looked at them and asked: "The villagers are innocent, why do you want to kill them!"

One of the wild bandits trembled and said: "Master Fujiwara said...these villagers have received Yuan Kou's household registration and are willing to become Yuan Kou's subjects.

They...betrayed us, so they must be punished...it was led by Mr. Fujiwara, we...let us lay down our weapons and surrender! "

Jin Jingjing looked at the moon, his expression was full of sadness and melancholy.

"It's because we didn't protect the people well, how can we blame the people for turning to the enemy for survival..."

He tightened his grip on the knife, wanting to kill all the scum among these warriors.

However, after a fierce fight just now, the wound that hadn't fully recovered burst open again, and a lot of blood flowed out, and he was a little exhausted at the moment.

So I could only look at them fiercely, and said: "Put down your swords and the things you have stolen, you are not worthy of being samurai, and you are not worthy of holding a samurai sword!"

The rest of the bandits immediately dropped everything on their bodies and hurriedly fled to the forest outside the village.
