Samsara Paradise: Shadow King

Chapter 72 Ambition in the Rain

It rained again, and the weather in "Mizu no Fan" was always so gloomy. He hated the chill that penetrated his bones just as much as he hated that person.

The ghost warrior wearing the disaster-repelling fox mask started his complaints again. He didn't know where to start. It had become his daily habit to count out his dislike for that guy in his mind.

Even if he was just standing in front of that guy, he would often have the urge to spit on that disgusting face, kick the pretentious guy from that position, and bite him with his teeth. The urge to get that guy's flesh and spit it out in the mud!

But he couldn't do anything, not only couldn't do anything, he had to obey that guy's orders, obey that guy's orders humbly, and act under that guy's orders.

Obviously that guy is far inferior to me in every aspect, why! Why did the old immortal choose him? !

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Isn't it? Your teeth are clenching before you even go in! When you go in later, you are not allowed to insert the blood edge knife into his chest."

His companion, who was also a samurai general but had an extremely bad personality, slapped him on the shoulder. Like him, his companion also hated that guy, and also suppressed the urge to tear that guy into pieces.

The two walked to the door of the room. The ghost warrior took a deep breath and raised his finger to knock on the shoji door to get permission from the people inside to let him enter the room.

However, his companion ignored him, opened the shoji door, raised his feet and walked inside.

"Yiyong, we're coming in!"

The man who was sitting solemnly on his knees at the head of the room glanced at her coldly and scolded her unceremoniously in a harsh tone:

"This is not the time to be private! You should call me the feudal lord, Maki!"

That's it again! That's it again! You really didn't miss any opportunity to show off in front of me the position you snatched from me!

The ghost warrior who had just entered the room heard Tomioka Yoshiyu's words, and resentment burst out from his eyes. He quickly lowered his head, pretending to be humble, and said:

"Excuse me, Lord Lord! We have information to present to you!"

"Please come in! Mr. Qiantu!"

Qiantu and Maosu knelt down facing Tomioka Giyu, their backs straightened, and even Maosu put away his playful smile and tried his best to show a correct attitude in front of each other.

"How's it going? Have you found out what caused the turmoil in the 'Die no Fan'?"

Qiangtu and Zhenshan looked at each other, and at the same time they lowered their upper bodies to the ground, making sure that their postures were respectful enough, and then they spoke:

"It has been identified! It is a shadow army, and the leader seems to be a human! It can currently be confirmed that the 'Butterfly Domain' has completely fallen. The lord Butterfly Ninja, together with her subordinates Kanzaki Aoi, Terauchi Kiyoshi, Nakahara Cheng and Takada Na Sui is also confirmed to be dead!"

"Shadow army led by humans? How many are there?"

Tomioka Giyu asked in a deep voice.

"I apologize to you! Lord of the feudal lord! We were unable to find out the specific number of people in this army! Although it appears that this army only has 200 to 300 soldiers, our warriors explored the battlefield and found no less than 200 soldiers. Traces of the battle of thousands of people!”

"Has the message been sent to the shogunate?"

"We have sent the crow to Edo with the letter!"

"Yeah! Very good! I can indeed entrust all my trust to you, Qiotu!"

"Thank you for your trust, this is my honor! Lord Lord!"

At Tomioka's signal, the two finally raised their upper bodies again.

"Being able to defeat Butterfly Ninja and her warriors, the strength of this army cannot be underestimated. I am sending an order to the warriors below to get ready for battle and be on alert."

"I obey! Lord of the feudal lord!" Tomioka Yiyu nodded, satisfied with the attitude of the two of them, and half-closed his eyes.

The three people in the room fell into silence. Qiaotu and Maosu were used to it. They stood up and bowed deeply to Tomioka Giyu and said:

"Then let's take our leave now, Lord Lord! The kitchen has prepared radish salmon for you today and will serve it to you later!"

"Well! Back off!"

Qiangtu and Maosu left Tomioka Giyu's residence without carrying rain gear, and walked directly into the pouring rain.

Suddenly, Qiang Tu took off the mask on his face, threw it out, and roared hysterically:

"Yiyu Tomioka! That bastard! He acted like he was superior in front of us, but in the end, he got the position of feudal lord from the shogun by relying on flattery! Disgusting! Disgusting bastard! Disgusting maggots!"

"That's how he is! Isn't that old guy Lintaki very happy with him? Growing up, all the good things belong to him, and we can only pick up what he doesn't want to leave behind!"

A sarcastic smile appeared on Zhen Xiang's face, his arms crossed his chest, and his light words raised Qiu Tu's anger again.

"Kill him! Kill him! I don't want to endure it any longer! I want to kill Tomioka Giyu!"

Zhenji walked up to Qiangtu, held his twisted and ferocious face, and said softly:

"We can't let his blood stain our blood-edged sword! And if we take action personally, the general might criticize him!"

"Then what should we do!? Continue to endure the orders of that disgusting maggot?"

"Don't be anxious! I said, we can't let his blood stain our blood edge sword! Isn't that human a better candidate to kill Tomioka Giyu!"

"That's right! Let that human kill Tomioka Giyu, and then we kill that human again! Not only will I not be punished by the Shogun, but under the banner of revenge for Tomioka Giyu, I can also take over the domain without any hindrance. , and then sit in that position! The position of the feudal lord!"

Zhenji kissed Qiangtu on the side of his face and continued to speak with bewitching words:

"Yes! The feudal lord will be your position! You are the one who deserves to sit in that position!"

The rain fell harder and harder, covering their figures and their ambitions.

"Hiss! This damn place is so cold! How come the 'Die no Fan' looks like spring and the flowers are blooming and full of vitality, but after entering the 'Mizu no Fan', it's raining every day and the cold wind is raging!"

Zhao Zijin was wearing a bamboo hat and raincoat, walking in a small town in "Shuifan". There were very few pedestrians on the road, no, it should be said that there were very few. He had been walking into the town for a while, and the people he saw had two hands. You can count them.

He habitually collected information and was formulating a plan to kill the lord of the "Water Domain" Tomioka Yoshiyu.

Along the way, although the people of "Mizu no Fan" were not forced to work, their lives were still very difficult.

"Mizu no Fan" has many rivers and lakes. Most ordinary people make a living by fishing. When traveling, they often choose to take boats.

I don’t know if it’s due to the vassal’s long-term rainy weather, but the people here have a kind of indifference and alienation that repels people thousands of miles away. Zhao Zijin once observed that even if it’s a family, the communication between family members throughout the day is very... He would only say a few words if necessary, no better than a stranger.

Not only are they indifferent to others, they also don't seem to care much about themselves. If they say to someone casually: "You have been selected to be a blood and flesh donation!", he will only say "Oh" indifferently, and then consciously leave with the ghost warrior. , his family members may not have looked at him from beginning to end, and were busy with their own affairs at hand.

The ghost warriors of "Mizu no Ban" wear blue armor with wave patterns, and generally wear fox masks in different styles.

The blade, scabbard, and handle of the equipped blood-edge sword are all sea blue, and the blade is black and red, in the shape of a regular hexagon. The words "Shui Waterfall Corpse Han" are engraved on the blade.

Judging from the momentum, the ghost warriors of "Mizu no Fan" are stronger than the ghost warriors of "Butterfly Fan", but they are often alone, silently patrolling the streets and alleys of "Mizu no Fan", which is convenient After Zhao Zijin's sneak attack was successful, there were many more shadow water ghosts in the team of shadow soldiers.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Such weather was not suitable for sleeping outside. Zhao Zijin had to find a place that could provide shelter from the wind and rain and provide warmth.
