"What?" Fujiwara No Chiko couldn't believe her ears. "Use my original identity? Wouldn't that be courting death? "She didn't know what her master was planning.
"Matsumoto Takeyoshi is not a fool," Ito Fumio got up and said, "He has many eyes and ears, and his connections are very wide. If you use a fake identity, he will definitely be able to find a loophole. At that time, don't talk about revenge, you might not even be able to protect yourself."
"But …" Fujiwara No Chiko was full of doubts.
"Matsumoto Takeyoshi sent people everywhere to kill you, but he never thought that you would take the initiative to come to his door. This is also a risky move, taking advantage of his suspicion. The key is the letter in your hand. "Ito Fumio said," Open it and take a look. "
Fujiwara No Chiko opened the letter and saw the words written on it:
Matsumoto Kun,
I heard that your excellency will leave for the Great Ming Dynasty to pay tribute in a few days, and I specially sent a chess piece for you to use. This woman is Fujiwara No Chiko, the daughter of the famous knife maker Fujiwara Kaga. I have carefully trained her for many years. Her cultivation is not shallow, and she is proficient in Chinese.
I don't want to hide it from you, but this woman is eager for revenge. After gaining your trust, she wants to take the opportunity to avenge her father. But you can rest assured, I have already specifically told her not to do anything without gaining your trust. As long as you use her a little, this woman will definitely complete the task to gain your trust.
After you have completed your hegemony, you can dispose of this chess piece at your will. Although Ito Fumio has lived in seclusion for many years, his heart was still full of pride. As the saying goes, a fine bird chooses a tree to nest in. If you need it, Ito Fumio is willing to serve you. I only hope that after you have completed your hegemony, you can entrust the Ninja Army to Ito Fumio. Ito Fumio will definitely do his best to repay your kindness. Dear Ito Fumio
After Fujiwara No Chiko finished reading the letter, she was frightened by the contents of the letter. She loosened her hand, and the letter slipped from her hand.
If her master didn't tell her in advance that this was a trap, she would have believed it. She didn't think that her master not only had profound cultivation, but also meticulous and resourceful. If Matsumoto Takeyoshi read the letter, there was a high chance that he would believe what was written in it.
Ito Fumio stretched out his hand, and the letter that fell in the air immediately flew back to his hand.
"What's wrong? Are you scared? "Ito Fumio laughed.
"More than just scared," Fujiwara Chiko said honestly. "I almost believed it."
Ito Fumio smiled faintly and slapped his hand. With a "Pa" sound, paper shreds flew everywhere.
"Fumio Fumio" Fumio, Fumio Fumio Fumio, "Fumio Fumio Fumio, Fumio Fumio Fumio's
"I '''t's't's write. Fumio '' '''s' ''s..' '' '' Fumio said said't't '''t't. '' ''t't's' '
't't't't't't Chie '' '' '''t Fujiwara No Chiko admired him from the bottom of her heart.
"This way, not only can you enter the tiger's den, but you can also go back and forth openly." Ito Fumio said, "Get ready. We'll set off tomorrow. Remember, Matsumoto Takeyoshi is very cunning. Be careful."
"Yes, Master." After Fujiwara No Chiko answered, she turned around and went upstairs. Ito Fumio also began to write a letter. Everything was going according to the plan.
The next morning, Fujiwara No Chiko cleaned up and went to the courtyard. She was dressed in white and her face was covered with a white veil. She carried a Chihō on her back and was dressed like an otherworldly expert. His master, Ito Fumio, was sitting in the courtyard as usual, drinking tea by himself.
"Master," said Fujiwara No Chiko.
"Okay," Ito Fumio said as he turned around. "Be careful on the road."
"Master …" "Master …" Fujiwara No Chiko suddenly realized that the veil on her master's face was gone. The Ito Fumio in front of her had fair skin, red lips, and white teeth. Sharp edges and sharp eyes like cold stars. He was a very handsome man.
"What's wrong?" Ito Fumio looked at the excited Fujiwara No Chiko and asked, "Am I ugly?"
"No, no," Fujiwara No Chiko quickly waved her hand and said, "Master, you're very handsome."
"It's getting late. You should be on your way." Ito Fumio said and put on the veil again. "Be careful on the road."
"Yes." Fujiwara No Chiko turned around and left. After taking a few steps, she turned around and went back.
"What's wrong?" Ito Fumio looked at Fujiwara No Chiko with a puzzled face.
"Master." Fujiwara No Chiko knelt on the ground. "I don't know if this trip will be auspicious or inauspicious. I don't know if I'll be able to see master again. It's not that Chiko is afraid of death. It's just that master treats me like your own daughter. I'm afraid that before I can fulfill my filial duties …" Fujiwara No Chiko's tears flowed out again. "Please take care of yourself." After saying that, she kowtowed a few times, got up and turned around to leave.
Ito Fumio did not say anything. He frowned as he looked at Fujiwara No Chiko's figure gradually disappearing from his sight.
After Fujiwara No Chiko left the wooden building, she used the Land Flight Technique and quickly went down the mountain. At this time, her cultivation was no longer the same as before. A white shadow floated down one foot above the ground. In less than an incense's time, she stood at the foot of Mount Fuji. Fujiwara No Chiko turned around to look at the wooden building at the waist of the mountain. After a long time, she turned around and left.
Two hours later, Fujiwara No Chiko arrived in front of a majestic mansion. This was Matsumoto Takeyoshi's official residence – Twilight Autumn Residence. Two samurai with swords at their waists were guarding the entrance expressionlessly.
Fujiwara No Chiko took a deep breath and slowly walked to the entrance. When the two samurai saw Fujiwara No Chiko carrying a sword, they immediately became alert.
"Who are you?" One of the samurai said. "This is not a place for you to come. Go away."
The other samurai immediately walked behind Fujiwara No Chiko and placed his hand on the hilt of his sword, preparing to attack from the front and back.
"Go and tell Matsumoto Takeyoshi that Fujiwara No Chiko is here." Fujiwara No Chiko said coldly.
When the samurai in front heard this, he was stunned and immediately exchanged glances with the samurai standing behind Fujiwara No Chiko.
"Wait here, I will go and report." After the samurai finished speaking, he turned around and entered the mansion. After a while, he came out again and respectfully said to Fujiwara No Chiko, "Master invites you in." As he spoke, he bowed deeply and extended his hand towards the mansion. "Please follow me, Miss Chiko." After speaking, he led the way. Fujiwara No Chiko followed closely and entered the Twilight Autumn Residence.
As her master Ito Fumio had said, the Twilight Autumn Residence was heavily guarded. There were sentries every few steps, and all of them were ninjas. These ninjas all had swords at their waists, and their faces were covered with veils. Only their bright eyes could be seen.
After passing through seven or eight gates, Fujiwara No Chiko had just entered Matsumoto Takeyoshi's living area. There were pavilions, artificial mountains, and clear springs. It was a completely different world.
Fujiwara No Chiko was not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery. When she thought that she was about to meet her father's murderer, Fujiwara No Chiko's heart pounded.
After passing through three heavily guarded checkpoints, Fujiwara No Chiko followed the samurai and arrived in front of an extremely luxurious building. In front of the building, there was an exquisite and elegant pavilion. The pavilion was surrounded by a smooth and expensive wooden floor. In the pavilion, a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes was lying on a futon. Behind the middle-aged man stood two people, one in green and one in white. They each held a long sword and stood beside the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was enjoying the dance. He held a wine glass in one hand and tapped his knee lightly with the other. Dozens of dancers were dancing to the music in front of him. Accompanied by the falling petals of the cherry trees, the scene was magnificent.
"Miss Chiko, please wait here." After the samurai finished speaking, he lowered his head and bent his waist. He walked in small steps to the middle-aged man who was enjoying the dance and whispered a few words into his ear. The middle-aged man waved his hand. All the dancers and performers immediately stopped. They bowed deeply to the middle-aged man and slowly retreated. The samurai also immediately bent his waist and retreated. He came in front of Fujiwara No Chiko.
"Master invites Miss Chiko over." The samurai said.
Fujiwara No Chiko listened and slowly walked towards the pavilion. It seemed that the man was undoubtedly Matsumoto Takeyoshi. Under the veil, Fujiwara No Chiko gritted her teeth. She wanted to end him immediately.
However, a little impatience spoils great plans. From the sharp eyes and breathing rhythm of the two masters beside him, the strength of these two masters was not below her. If it was a one on one fight, she might be able to barely win against the green-clothed master. However, if it was a fight with the white-clothed master, she had no chance of winning. Not to mention fighting both of them at the same time.
He had to remain calm and not make the slightest mistake. Fujiwara No Chiko thought in her heart. She slowly stood two feet away from Matsumoto Takeyoshi.
"Hahaha." Matsumoto Takeyoshi slowly stood up and walked towards Fujiwara No Chiko. "Yesterday, I received a letter from your master. I heard that your master sent Miss Chiko to help me on my trip to Central Plains. God is helping me. " Matsumoto Takeyoshi, with a sinister smile on his face, changed the topic and said straightforwardly, "The outside world is saying that your father's death was caused by me. Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
"I dare not disobey my master's order." Fujiwara No Chiko calmly said, "As for the culprit who killed my father, I have already investigated. It is not anyone else but Tokugawa Ieyasu. Therefore, when I learned of Mr. Matsumoto's plan, my master sent me to help. I personally want to see Tokugawa Ieyasu's world fall into the hands of others. "
"Good," Matsumoto Takeyoshi said with a smile. "Miss Chiko is indeed a straightforward person. However, "Matsumoto Takeyoshi said," This trip to Central Plains is extremely dangerous. I wonder what Miss Chiko's cultivation is like. Can you bear this heavy responsibility? "Matsumoto Takeyoshi looked at Fujiwara No Chiko and asked.
"You can try," Fujiwara No Chiko said coldly.
Matsumoto Takeyoshi did not answer. He only gave the green-clothed master a look. The green-clothed ninja immediately moved and appeared behind Fujiwara No Chiko. He reached for the Chihō on her back. Fujiwara No Chiko sneered. She did not move and secretly circulated her inner strength. The moment the green-clothed ninja's hand touched the Chihō's Chihō, Fujiwara No Chiko immediately released her inner strength from the Chihō on her back.
The ninja in green could only feel an earth-shattering force emanating from the blade. The force was as strong as a thousand catties. He did not dare to be negligent and immediately flew back three feet. Even so, the force from the Chihō's attack still made his arm numb. Fujiwara No Chiko turned around and faced the green-clothed ninja. She sneered.
The green-clothed ninja was furious. Fujiwara No Chiko actually made him lose face in front of Matsumoto Takeyoshi. How could this be? He used his movement technique and changed his hand into a claw. A green-clothed shadow once again rushed toward her.
What a fast movement technique! After seeing this, Fujiwara No Chiko did not dare to be negligent. She also used her movement technique and dodged the attack when the green-clothed ninja rushed in front of her. A white shadow quickly floated three feet behind the green-clothed ninja.
"Baka." The green-clothed ninja missed twice and became angry. He unsheathed the long blade in his hand. A green light flashed and a cold aura appeared. A long blade emitting a cold light appeared in front of Fujiwara No Chiko.
"Green Leaf?" Fujiwara No Chiko was secretly shocked. She once heard from her master, Ito Fumio, that the Green Leaf Blade was made by Kazuken Sato, who was known as a genius bladesman in Japan. This person had a strange personality. He was silent and temperamental. He often appeared with different appearances. It was said that no one had ever seen his true face.
Kazuken Sato would always make the blade according to his state of mind. It was said that he made a total of three famous blades in his life. The first one was made when he was 18 years old and was called "Flower Burial". The blade was five feet long and the blade was covered with naturally formed cherry blossom patterns. "Flower Burial" was extremely sharp. It could cut through copper and iron like tofu. What was even more amazing was that every time this blade was stained with human blood, the cherry blossom patterns on the blade would become more enchanting and dazzling. The blade would also become sharper.
The second blade was the green-clothed ninja's "Green Leaf" blade. It was made by Kazuken Sato when he was 35 years old. The blade was three and a half feet long and the blade was covered with a green light. It was so cold that it could penetrate one's soul. There was a pattern of a withered tree on the blade. It was said that if this blade was used to its maximum power, the withered tree would be covered with green leaves. It would be full of vitality and lifelike. However, no one had ever seen it. Or rather, those who had seen it were all dead. This green-leaf blade was like the "Flower Burial". It was extremely sharp. However, unlike the "Flower Burial", this green-leaf blade was not stained with human blood. Even if the blade was soaked in a pool of blood, it would not be stained with blood after being taken out. It was called the "purest blade" by those in the industry.
The third saber was forged by him when he was sixty years old. It was called "Sky Breaker" and was four and a half feet long. Its entire body was smooth and white without a single pattern. Only the hilt was inlaid with a golden bell made of an unknown material. Whenever he fought with an enemy, Sky Breaker would let out a clear ringing sound. The ringing sound of the bell was soul-sucking. After the opponent heard the ringing sound of the bell, they would become intoxicated. When the bell stopped ringing, it was the time for the enemy to die. It was said that those who heard the ringing sound would die with a strange smile on their face.
In addition, this "Sky Breaker" was much sharper than "Flower Burial" and "Green Leaf". According to Ito Fumio's memories, his master had seen the power of Sky Breaker with his own eyes. He had an ordinary person stand on an anvil that was three feet thick and hold the blade with one hand. He held the blade vertically with the tip of the blade facing downwards. He gently touched the anvil with the tip of the blade and instantly let go. In the end, a strange scene appeared: the Air Shattering Saber was directly inserted into the anvil, straight into the scabbard. It was as if the anvil did not exist! The sharpness of Sky Breaker could be seen.
After making these three blades, Sato Kazuken disappeared from Jianghu. There were no more rumors about him. It was said that he went out to travel.
When Fujiwara No Chiko saw that his opponent had the legendary Green Leaf Blade, he did not dare to be careless. He reached out his hand and pulled out the Chihō from his back. With the roar of a tiger and the roar of a dragon, a shining long blade appeared in front of the crowd. The Chihō emitted an endless amount of killing intent. Its white light was dazzling and eye-catching.
"Good blade." The ninja in white, who had been silent all this time, spat out two words. From the beginning of the fight until now, the ninja in white had been resting with his eyes closed. He did not even open his eyes until Fujiwara No Chiko pulled out the Chihō.
"Alright." Matsumoto Takeyoshi suddenly spoke up. "Let's end the competition here."
When the ninja in green heard that, he snorted and slowly put the Green Leaf Blade back into the scabbard.
Fujiwara No Chiko also put the Chihō back into the scabbard.
"Ms. Chiko has indeed learned from Mr. Ito. You have such a high cultivation at such a young age. How rare." Matsumoto Takeyoshi laughed, "It seems like the heavens are helping me. I have such a strong general. Hahaha …" After Matsumoto Takeyoshi laughed, he said to Fujiwara No Chiko, "From today onwards, I appoint you as the White Cloak Secret Envoy. You can enter and leave the Muqiu Mansion freely. When the time comes, follow me to Great Ming. Lend me a hand. "
"I'm willing to listen to your orders." Fujiwara No Chiko knelt down on one knee.
"After this is done, I will let you kill Tokugawa Ieyasu with your own hands." Matsumoto Takeyoshi waved his hand and a servant came to Fujiwara No Chiko with a rectangular brocade box in his hand.
"This is …" Fujiwara No Chiko did not know what Matsumoto Takeyoshi meant.
