At nightfall, Yi Yishu returned with the injured Mo Zhaonu.
"Mo Zhaonu, how is your injury?" The Soul Burial Emperor saw that Mo Zhaonu's body was wrapped in gauze with specks of blood on it.
"Thank you Soul Emperor for your concern. I have to be treated by Senior (One Page Book), and I'm fine now."
"That's good. If something happens to you, I'm afraid Su Huanzhen won't let me rest."
"Soul Emperor, Mo Zhaonu has an unkind request."
The Soul Burying Emperor knew what Mo Zhaonu wanted to say, "Mo Zhaonu, do you want to intercede on behalf of Liangfeng Hidetaki?"
"It turns out that the Soul Emperor has known Hidetaki's identity for a long time."
"In the past, when Onsai was in power, Hidetaki Yoshimine of the Ryomine family, the lord of the castle, was engaged to you. Due to the death of Sadayoshi Yoshimine due to illness, the male heir of the Yoshimine family died. In order to prevent the fiefdom from being taken away by Onsai. Minehidetaki did not hesitate to give up Yagyu Kenkage Kendo and disguised himself as a man. He used the method of disguise to replace the deceased Ryomine Sadayoshi. The body of the real Ryomine Sadayoshi has been buried in the tomb you went to before. .”
"Since the Soul Emperor already knows the reason, can he be lenient?"
"Originally, Minamoto Musashi was willing to let her go free on the condition of forty years of loyalty to the emperor in exchange for the lives of Yuan Ji and the other villains. But..."
Seeing that the Soul Burial Emperor was relenting, Mo Zhaonu quickly said: "Whatever the Soul Emperor requires, Mo Zhaonu can try to fulfill it."
"It's not a request. Yoshimine Hidetaki is a woman who manages the city of Sakahara in an orderly manner. I admire her very much. But you must also understand her feelings for Sakara Castle. I am worried that if she is released, , she tries to assassinate her again. When the time comes, there will be no second Minamoto Musashi to save her."
Mo Zhaonu naturally understood what the Soul Burial Emperor meant.
In this assassination attempt, the Soul Burial Emperor spared Hidetaki Yoshimine and Yukihime out of consideration for Minamoto Musashi.
With Minamoto Musashi by her side, Yuan Ji will not make any changes.
But Hidetaki Yoshimine was different. If she cannot be persuaded to give up her hatred, she will definitely assassinate her again.
At that time, the Soul-Burying Emperor will no longer be able to spare her, whether out of his own prestige or to uphold the rule of law.
The reason why the Soul Burial Emperor considered so much was to give Mo Zhaonu face.
If it were someone else, just kill him.
"The Soul Emperor means that Xiutong is willing to let her go as long as she gives up her hatred and retires with Mo Zhaonu."
"I can promise. But Mo Zhaonu, if you can't finish it, I can only lock her up."
"Thank you Soul Emperor."
After Mo Zhaonu went to persuade Yoshimine Hidetaki.
The one-page book that had been silent until now said: "It seems that the Soul Emperor intends to help Mo Zhaonu and Liangfeng Hidetaki."
"With Mo Zhaonu by my side, Hidetaki Yoshimine will not make this difficult for me."
One page of the book asked: "Now that the war in Japan is over, I wonder what the Soul Emperor's plans will be in the future?"
The Soul Buried Emperor made no secret, "Japan has just been pacified and still needs to be managed. Besides, in order to ensure the effective implementation of Huanchen's military policy and long-term peace and stability, I will not return to China in the short term."
"From what the Soul Emperor said, he is going to stay in Japan for a while."
The Soul Burying Emperor admitted: "Indeed, Japan will be the top priority of Huanchen's military deployment in the future, and there will be no time to interfere with other matters. I will give you a page, what are your plans after returning to the Central Plains?"
"What suggestions does the Soul Emperor have?"
The Soul Burial Emperor said, "You can tell from one page where the Ziyao Celestial Dynasty was established. We originally intended for you and Su Huanzhen to serve as the Supervisory Council."
A one-page book refused: "The people of the mountains and wilds are deeply loved by the Soul Emperor, but Brahma has no intention of doing so. After returning to the Central Plains, I will seal Yundu Mountain and no longer interfere in the affairs of the Central Plains."
"Forget it. Speaking of which, there is a conflict of destiny between you and Liuhuo Canglong. It is really not appropriate for you to interfere in the affairs of the Central Plains anymore."
"Thank you Soul Emperor for your understanding."
Shortly after the conversation between the two ended, Mo Zhaonu returned, apparently having convinced Yoshimine Hidetaki.
The words were divided into two parts, Qi Baji came outside the Yaksha Cave and looked for the sword master Yagyu Sword Shadow.
Qiong Baji saw the skull hanging on the Yaksha forest outside the cave and the dead head that had obviously just been hung. Qiong Baji was sure that he was in the right place.
"Well, this is the Yaksha Cave, where Yagyu Kenkage waited for fifty years to create a flawless sword. And the skull hanging outside the cave should be the person who desecrated the Sword Master's "nobility of the sword". Enter."
Qiongbaji entered the Yaksha Cave, where there were many stalagmites and a constant ticking sound.
Qiongbaji came to the depths of Yaksha Cave and saw Yagyu Sword sitting on the rock.
Standing next to Yagyu Kenying is a young man dressed as a young man, which is common in Japan.
"Hey, someone is here again, and this time it's an old man." The young man looked curious when he saw Qiong Baji coming.
"Young man, who are you and why are you here?"
The young man announced his family name, "Well, my name is Date Ga-ryu, and I am the sword master's new disciple."
"A disciple of the Sword Master." Qiong Baji said after feeling the sword intent in Yaksha Cave, "You are not."
Dategaliu asked curiously: "How do you judge whether the sword master has spoken?"
"It's simple. He told me this himself."
"He told you? But he hasn't spoken since I arrived until now."
"This is not the place to talk. You can follow me out first."
After this initial contact, Ida realized that Qiongbaji was not a bad person, so he went out with him.
After leaving the cave, Qiong Baji said: "Young man, it's a good chance that you can stay in the Yaksha Cave for such a long time."
"how do I say this?"
"This is the place where Yagyu Kenkage seeks his sword. Everything in the cave has long been integrated with Yagyu Kenkage. The changes in the airflow in the cave reflect his emotions."
"This is why you judged that I am not a disciple of the Sword Master."
"Because Yagyu Kenkage answered me with his sword intent."
Ida Garuyou asked: "Then what is the opportunity you just mentioned?"
Qiong Baji pointed to the skulls and dead heads hanging on the books and asked, "Do you know how these people died?"
"Killed by the Sword Master in the Yaksha Cave."
"Then do you know the reason?"
"have no idea."
"The reason is that they drew their swords in front of the sword master and insulted Yagyu Kenkage's swordsmanship."
"The way of the sword master?"
"This starts with Yagyu Kenkage's master. When Yagyu Kenkage was young, he became his apprentice under the Japanese swordsman "One Thousand Defeats and One Sword"."
"A thousand defeats with one sword sounds like defeats many times."
"Do you mind losing?"
"The purpose of practicing martial arts is to win. Otherwise, what is it for?"
"This is your misunderstanding. The real purpose of practicing martial arts is to achieve the highest level. Failure can help the swordsman recognize his own weaknesses and change them. A thousand defeats and one sword are willing to be invincible in the world. After enduring thousands of defeats, he created the strongest swordsmanship in Japan, "The Tribulation of the Ten Thousand Gods"."
