Not only was Matsumoto Takeyoshi shocked by Kurosaki Ryuichi's words, but even the man in green and the man in white frowned.
Yagyu Ryuuke was the reincarnation of the black dragon under the Japanese God Amaterasu. He was one of the top elites of Ise Grand Shrine and wielded a black dragon blade that was extremely powerful.
Who would have thought that this legendary figure would come to the Great Ming Dynasty?
Matsumoto Takeyoshi's expression was solemn.
It was obvious that Yagyu Ryuuke was not here to help him find the Nine Cauldrons.
"When did he come to the Great Ming Dynasty? Why is he looking for me? "Matsumoto Takeyoshi asked Kurosaki Ryuichi.
"He has been in the Great Ming Dynasty for a few days. As for why he's looking for you …" Kurosaki Ryuichi looked at Matsumoto Takeyoshi with his blue eyes. "I don't think it's anything good."
"I, Matsumoto Takeyoshi, have always minded my own business with Ise Grand Shrine. We don't have any grudges between us. Why is he looking for me all of a sudden?" Matsumoto Takeyoshi looked at Kurosaki Ryuichi expressionlessly and asked.
"Do you know what ship he took to the Great Ming Dynasty?" Kurosaki Ryuichi didn't answer Matsumoto Takeyoshi's question directly. Instead, he asked a question of his own.
"What ship?" Matsumoto Takeyoshi asked.
"The Sakura Ship," Kurosaki Ryuichi said.
"The Sakura Ship?" Matsumoto Takeyoshi was shocked. "Tokugawa Ieyasu's ship?"
"It's not just a ship," Kurosaki Ryuichi continued. "The Emperor's Katana that the Emperor personally gave to Tokugawa Ieyasu, and Tokugawa Ieyasu's personal guard, Yamada Keiko, are all on that ship."
Everyone's expression changed when they heard that, including the man in white who had been standing behind Matsumoto Takeyoshi. Yamada Shingo!
Yamada Keiko was none other than his biological sister!
His sister had come to the Great Ming Dynasty and was with Yagyu Ryuuke! The man in white thought with a frown.
Matsumoto Takeyoshi furrowed his brows and remained silent.
Matsumoto Takeyoshi thought that Tokugawa Ieyasu had already found out the true purpose of his visit to the Great Ming Dynasty from Yagyu Ryūnosuke of Ise Grand Shrine.
This time, Yagyuu Ryūnosuke rode on Tokugawa Ieyasu's Sakura and carried Tokugawa Ieyasu's saber bestowed by the Emperor. His purpose was to bring him back to Japan as the Shogun's emissary and put him on trial! Otherwise, Yagyuu Ryūsuke would kill him with the sword given to him by Tokugawa Ieyasu for disobeying the order!
Matsumoto Takeyoshi narrowed his eyes as he thought of this.
He didn't expect that the Ise Grand Shrine, which had always been a loner, would participate in this matter and even join hands with Tokugawa Ieyasu to deal with him!
"The news that Mr. Shinozaki brought is indeed bad news." Matsumoto Takeyoshi said expressionlessly as he picked up the fragrant tea on the table and took a sip.
Seeing Matsumoto Takeyoshi's calm expression, Ryuichi Shinozaki immediately asked, "Why? Mr. Matsumoto, do you already have a plan to deal with the enemy?"
"To be honest with you, Mr. Shinozaki, if you had told me this a few months ago, I might have been a little worried. But now …" Matsumoto Takeyoshi smiled as he put the teacup in his hand on the wooden table. "Yagyuu Ryūnosuke can't do anything to me, Matsumoto Takeyoshi. As for that Tokugawa Ieyasu, I don't care about him at all. "
"Oh? What do you mean, Mr. Matsumoto? "Shinozaki Ryuichi asked.
"To be honest with you, Mr. Shinozaki, a few months ago, I mobilized 13 masters from Japan to the Great Ming Dynasty. These 13 are all top-notch masters in Japan," Matsumoto Takeyoshi said with a smile.
"Thirteen masters? Hehehe … "Shinozaki Ryuichi laughed." As far as I know, ever since Yagyuu Ryūnosuke was born, he has never been defeated. Countless demons have died under his Black Dragon Sword. I've never heard of anyone who could escape from his sword. I've heard of the 13 masters that Mr. Matsumoto mentioned. Although they're all top-notch masters, they're nothing compared to Yagyuu Ryūnosuke, the reincarnation of the Black Dragon. Forgive me for being blunt, but aside from Yamada-kun, no one can take Yagyuu Ryūnosuke's Black Dragon Sword. "
Shingo Yamada, who was dressed in white, looked up at Shinozaki Ryuichi without saying a word.
"Mr. Shinozaki, you're wrong," Matsumoto Takeyoshi said with a smile. "Mr. Yamada isn't the only one who can fight against Yagyuu Ryūnosuke."
"Oh?" Shinozaki Ryuichi's interest was piqued when he heard Matsumoto Takeyoshi's words. "Aside from Yamada-kun, who else can Mr. Matsumoto send out?"
"Mr. Shinozaki, you might not know this, but I've recently acquired a trump card," Matsumoto Takeyoshi said with a mysterious smile. "This trump card will come in handy when dealing with Yagyuu Ryūnosuke."
"Trump card?" Shinozaki Ryuichi's eyes lit up. "What trump card?"
As far as he knew, the person with the highest cultivation level around Matsumoto Takeyoshi was the man in white, Shingo Yamada. Aside from him, he couldn't think of any other master Matsumoto Takeyoshi had.
"Ye Fan," Matsumoto Takeyoshi said with a smile as he looked at Shinozaki Ryuichi.
"What? Ye Fan? "Matsumoto Takeyoshi's words made Shinozaki Ryuichi's pupils contract instantly!
This name was already famous among the ten guards of the Nine Monsters, it was like thunder to the ears!
Being able to force the heaven defying Daitengu out of the Jadeite Throne, he was the first person in a thousand years!
Now that he heard that the Ye Fan that god Xie Tian was worried about was working for Matsumoto Takeyoshi, how could he not be shocked!
Matsumoto Takeyoshi nodded with a smile.
"He's working for you now?" Shinozaki Ryuichi asked in a shocked voice. His voice was filled with disbelief.
"That's right, he is already my right hand man." Matsumoto Takeyoshi said with a smile.
Shinozaki Ryuichi's reaction was within his expectations. The person that Xie Tian wanted to kill was actually working for him, if it was anyone else, they would be surprised.
After hearing Matsumoto Takeyoshi's words, Shinozaki Ryuichi's expression under the mask changed and he was stunned!
What kind of evil technique did Matsumoto Takeyoshi use to make Ye Fan that even Daitengu couldn't kill obediently work for him!
This was something that he could not understand no matter how he thought about it.
Matsumoto Takeyoshi revealed a smile and told Shinozaki Ryuichi everything.
"I ask mister Shinozaki to tell great god Xie Tian that Ye Fan is now working for me, so he doesn't need to worry." After Matsumoto Takeyoshi finished speaking, he said this to Shinozaki Ryuichi with a smile.
"Keeping this tiger by your side, isn't mister Matsumoto afraid of raising a tiger?" After hearing everything, Shinozaki Ryuichi narrowed his eyes as he asked Matsumoto Takeyoshi.
"Isn't it better to have a tiger working for me than to be bitten by a tiger?" Matsumoto Takeyoshi played with the white porcelain teacup in his hand as he said with a smile, "Now that the black dragon Yagyu Ryuuke has come to cause trouble for me, I can use the tiger Ye Fan."
"Can you guarantee that Ye Fan will win against Yagyu Ryuuke?" Shinozaki Ryuichi asked with a frown.
"No matter who wins or loses, it will be a good thing for me." Matsumoto Takeyoshi said this while putting the teacup to his lips and taking a sip of the fragrant tea.
"Why do you say that?" Shinozaki Ryuichi narrowed his eyes and asked.
"Mister Shinozaki, you're really muddle-headed. Both of them will be a thorn in our side in the future, so we have to get rid of them as soon as possible." Matsumoto Takeyoshi said with a smile, "In this fierce battle, one of them will be injured. If Long Zhijie is killed by Ye Fan, Tenshou will have one less tiger general. If Ye Fan is killed by Long Zhijie, Great God Xie Tian will have one less problem. If both of them are seriously injured, it'll be even better. At that time, we'll gather all our forces to catch both of them in one fell swoop, leaving no one alive! For us, this deal can be said to be a win-win situation. "
Shinozaki Ryuichi's heart skipped a beat as his blue eyes lit up!
What a good move to sit on top of the mountain and watch the tigers fight!
What a good move to benefit the fisherman when the sandpiper and the clam fight!
Matsumoto Takeyoshi was indeed someone who could achieve great things. He was cunning and ruthless!
"Mister Matsumoto, you're really resourceful to be able to come up with such a brilliant plan." Shinozaki Ryuichi said, "If we can get rid of both of them, Great God Xie Tian will be very happy."
"Mister Shinozaki, please tell Great God Xie Tian that Matsumoto will do his best to help him." Matsumoto Takeyoshi said to Shinozaki Ryuichi.
"Mister Matsumoto, don't worry. I'll pass on your message." Shinozaki Ryuichi replied.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mister Shinozaki." Matsumoto Takeyoshi said as he raised his teacup, "I'll replace wine with tea and give you a toast." He finished the cup in one gulp.
Shinozaki Ryuichi smiled and raised his teacup as well. He covered it with his long sleeve and drank the fragrant tea.
"I have another piece of good news for you, Mister Shinozaki." Matsumoto Takeyoshi put down the white porcelain cup in his hand and said to Shinozaki Ryuichi, "I've found one of the nine cauldrons."
"Oh? Mister Matsumoto has found one of the cauldrons? "Shinozaki Ryuichi's voice was filled with surprise.
Since ancient times, there had been tens of thousands of people searching for the nine cauldrons in order to conquer the world. However, in the end, there was no news of them.
Today, Matsumoto Takeyoshi had found one of the nine cauldrons in less than a year. This greatly surprised Shinozaki Ryuichi.
Matsumoto Takeyoshi smiled and nodded.
"This is really good news." Shinozaki Ryuichi put down the teacup in his hand and said, "In time, Mister Matsumoto will definitely gather all nine cauldrons and rule the world!"
"Hahaha …" Matsumoto Takeyoshi looked up to the sky and laughed, "I'll take advantage of Mister Shinozaki's auspicious words."
"Since it's like this, I'll immediately return to Japan and report this to Great God Xie Tian." Shinozaki Ryuichi stood up and said.
"Then I won't send you off." Matsumoto Takeyoshi stood up and smiled, "Mister Shinozaki, when you come again, don't forget the chessboard you promised me. Also, I hope that Mister Shinozaki will bring good news next time."
"Hahaha … Of course, of course." Shinozaki Ryuichi smiled and flicked his sleeve. With a swish, he instantly disappeared.
After Shinozaki Ryuichi left, the smile on Matsumoto Takeyoshi's face instantly disappeared.
"Mister, should we summon the thirteen people back first?" The green-clothed man asked Matsumoto Takeyoshi.
Since Yagyuu Ryuichi had come to the Great Ming Dynasty to capture Matsumoto Takeyoshi, they had to be fully prepared.
In terms of one-on-one combat, the thirteen people might not be Yagyuu Ryuichi's match. However, if the thirteen people attacked together, Ryuichi would have to think twice.
Now that the white-clothed man was the only master on the battleship and he was heavily injured, he had to think about Matsumoto Takeyoshi's safety.
"There's no need." Matsumoto Takeyoshi said calmly, "Long Zhijie has been in the Great Ming Dynasty for some time. If he wanted to find me, he would have come a long time ago."
"Mister, you mean …" The green-clothed man frowned and asked.
"The people of Ise Grand Shrine have always been cautious. If Long Zhijie didn't come directly, he must have other things to do in the Great Ming Dynasty," Matsumoto Takeyoshi said, "Yamada is guarding this place. Even if Long Zhijie comes, he won't be in any danger. In comparison, the Nine Cauldrons are more important. "
The green-clothed man nodded slightly.
