Light surges through the sliding door made of mulberry paper,
A vaguely majestic voice kept chanting weird and eerie syllables.
Minamoto Yoritomo stood in front of the door and tried to push the door open several times, but finally stopped.
A look of anger gathered on his face, and his palm stopped a foot away from the wooden door. He wanted to knock on the door, but he didn't even have the courage to knock and ask.
An unprecedented sense of humiliation accumulated in Minamoto Yoritomo's chest.
He is just an elder from a small country,
Now he, the leader of the noble son of Genji, is being overpowered.
Really control the route of the entire knife transport team,
He was supposed to be in charge of everything, but now he is just a follower who even has to be careful when giving advice!
What a shame!
This is the biggest shame in Minamoto Yoritomo's life!
However, he knew very well that only the person inside the door could lead the knife-carrying team back to Kyoto safely. Without that person, Yoritomo Minamoto could only look at the future and sigh!
The lifeline is held in someone's hand,
The strength is far weaker than that person,
He had to bow his head!
Minamoto no Yoritomo's face kept changing,
After a while, the chanting inside the door finally stopped.
Then, Su Wu's voice came from inside the door: "Come in, Minamoto Yoritomo."
Minamoto Yoritomo quickly put away the angry look on his face, lowered his head, opened the door, and walked in with a smile on his face.
He saw Su Wu sitting behind a long desk. On the three- to five-foot long desk, there was a long knife that was more than half the length of the desk. The blade was wrapped in a sharkskin scabbard.
The scabbard is covered with complex and mysterious scarlet symbols.
at this time,
Su Wu is sheathing the sword.
The tail of the knife is wrapped in a layer of leather,
There are many thick black ropes wrapped around the leather.
There is also a copper Buddha amulet tied inside the intertwined strings.
Seeing that Su Wu was still busy, Minamoto Yoritomo didn't say anything. He knelt down on the futon next to him and waited for Su Wu to finish his work.
He had never seen such a long sword like Su Wu's, and he was curious about the sword, which was about seven or eight feet long. However, the owner did not invite him to appreciate it, and he did not dare to make mistakes.
——His relationship with Su Wu is not enough to allow him to appreciate Su Wu's swords.
After a while,
Su Wu finally equipped this 'Black Ksitigarbha' Miao knife with all the equipment.
The ghost hand extended from the sleeve, and the palm turned into the head of a python, opened its bloody mouth, and directly swallowed the Miao Dao.
The dark python quickly disappeared without a trace before Minamoto Yoritomo's eyes.
Minamoto Yorito bowed his head and said nothing.
I was really shocked inside.
Every time he saw Su Wu using Li Gui's power, he felt terrified.
The other party controls Li Gui like an arm and a finger.
It is very different from Minamoto Yoritomo himself and any ghost warrior he has seen.
Perhaps only the fourth son of the Ping family, Ping Chimori, can be compared with this person!
"You've been lingering outside my door, but what's the matter?"
Putting away the sword, Su Wu looked at Minamoto Yoritomo who was facing him respectfully, and asked him.
Minamoto Yoritomo nodded slightly, quickly organized his words in his mind, and said: "Master Zhuzhao, we have been in Jade Mountain for three days now. I have all the shark skin, fine wood, copper ingots and other things you need.
Offer it up!
At this time, our family in Kyoto is really pressing too hard.
They really need that supreme sword to solve their current urgent needs!
I wonder when you are going to leave?
Heading to Kyoto?”
"You can set off now."
Su Wu replied.
During the few days he wandered around Yuse Mountain, he collected a large number of killing stones.
And using the resources provided by Genji, he made scabbards, handles and other equipment blessed with various secret spells.
Now everything is finished,
It's time to set off again.
Minamoto no Yoritomo originally thought that Su Wu would delay it for another day or two, but he did not expect that the other party would agree so readily, and all the suggestions he had prepared were in vain.
He was stunned,
Immediately he said with great joy: "Then I will go down and prepare!"
"Um."
Su Wu nodded.
Minamoto Yoritomo bowed to him again, stood up, and left in a hurry.
The sound of footsteps gradually faded away.
The sword-carrying warriors who had been lingering in Yuse Mountain for many days organized themselves into groups in the pavilion and led the horses.
The neighing of strong horses and the shouts of warriors echoed outside the window.
Su Wu also left the room at this time,
He called An Gang, gathered with the sword-carrying team, drove the horses away from Yuse Mountain, and galloped towards Ping'an Capital.
The rest of the trip, since there was nothing like rescuing An Gang, would not stop at any place, so it went very quickly.
Encountering the interception of the Ping clan warriors, Su Wu dragged everyone into the shadow world and shuttled between the countries alone.
In the end, it took less than three days to reach Kyoto-Heian Kyo on Toryu Island.
The wealthy families and public officials all gathered in the capital of Ping'an.
The prosperity here is unmatched by other countries.
Returning to Heian Kyoto, Minamoto Yoritomo was even more cautious - although the Genji was strong in Heian Kyoto, the power of the Taira family in Kyoto was not half weaker than that of Genji, but was actually much stronger than that of Genji.
Who knows if there are any spies from the Ping family among the bustling crowd on the street?
Therefore, the closer we get to our mansion,
Minamoto Yoritomo became even more cautious.
I'm afraid that I will be noticed by the Ping clan's eyes and ears, and all my efforts on this trip will be in vain!
"Master Inoue, our family has already set up a celebration banquet in the courtyard. Everyone is waiting for Mr. Inoue to arrive with the supreme sword. Next, we only need to walk carefully through this section of the journey, and everything will be fine!" Minamoto Yoritomo and Su Wu
talking,
Even he himself didn't notice that his title of Su Wu changed from the previous 'sir' to the current 'Inoue family elder'.
At the moment, all Minamoto Yoritomo's attention is focused on dealing with the possible ears and eyes of the Taira clan.
Instead, he relaxed his disguise when facing Su Wushi.
A simple change of title becomes more and more intriguing.
The samurai of the Inoue family gathered around Su Wu, and upon hearing the change of address in Minamoto no Yoritomo's mouth, their eyes changed slightly.
On the other hand, Su Wu's expression did not change at all after being called so by Minamoto Yoritomo.
He was already prepared for the final outcome of the trip.
"Lead the way,
Arrive at your home address as soon as possible,
You can also breathe a sigh of relief." Su Wu replied to Minamoto Yoritomo.
"yes."
Minamoto Yoritomo said no more.
The group of people put on brand new clothes, abandoned the thin horses that had accompanied them all the way, and headed south of the city under the guidance of Minamoto Yoritomo.
Although the Ping clan was powerful, they did not expect that Su Wu had such incredible means of dragging people into the shadow world. They thought that the Genji sword-carrying team was still chasing them.
Who would have expected that the knife transport team has returned to Ping An Jing?
After several detours,
Finally returned to the Genji mansion!
The Genji mansion is different from the Inoue family courtyard in the small country of Boqi.
The huge mansion was built according to the style of landscape gardens in the Tang Dynasty. The mansion was built on a small island in the middle of a lake with deep woods, and was patrolled day and night by warriors.
As soon as he returned to the Minamoto clan, Minamoto Yoritomo and the armored samurai he brought with him separated from Su Wu and the Inoue clan samurai and Yasu Tsuna he brought with him.
"Brother Zhuzhao, I'm going to report everything about this trip to the head of the family and ask for credit for you!" Minamoto no Lai bowed to Su Wu and saluted. His eyes fell on the supreme sword at Su Wu's waist. He then stood up and looked at the servant next to him.
He led Su Wu and his party to their residence on the north side of the island in the middle of the lake.
The short servant bowed in front to lead the way,
Later,
The samurai from the Inoue family came close to Su Wu and whispered: "Sir, I'm afraid something will happen during this trip!"
An Gang also looked at Su Wu worriedly.
Su Wu looked calm and said: "You and the other five people should not disperse at will. They must gather around me at any time in the future. If they disperse, they will die silently in Genji.
Although I can avenge you and others,
But it will be hard to recover your life if you wait!"
"We are willing to die for your lord!" The Inoue family samurai bowed and responded.
Everyone followed the servants to the room specially arranged by Genji.
Minamoto Yoritomo called a waiter and asked him to arrange for the two armored warriors who had followed him to rest. He specifically asked: "Assign two beauties to them!"
"Yes!" The waiter nodded immediately.
Two armored warriors left with the attendants.
Minamoto Yoritomo walked through the large mansion and was very familiar with the buildings here. He found a quiet courtyard with ease.
Just as he was about to step into it, a waiter came out from the gate of the courtyard. When he saw Minamoto Yoritomo walking straight towards him, he immediately bowed and saluted: "Sir, the master is about to ask me to find you!"
"I came here on my own."
Minamoto Yoritomo responded in a deep voice, then followed the waiter into the private courtyard and into the central hall.
There were already many men gathered in the hall, wearing rich clothes and carrying samurai swords at their waists. Their faces were somewhat similar to Minamoto Yoritomota's.
They saw Minamoto Yoritomo walking through the door,
They all said hello: "Brother!"
"elder brother!"
"Nephew!"
The people gathered in the hall at the moment are all Genji Takako.
It occupies a pivotal position both inside and outside Genji.
Since his father was killed and he was exiled to Izu, Minamoto Yoritomo has deviated from the core of the family and become an unappreciated son of the Minamoto family. If he hadn't given up on himself in Izu, he had contained the "Cunning Breath" in himself and became
ghost warrior,
Now, a major task that can determine the survival of the entire Genji has been completed.
The noble family members in the hall who were of the same bloodline as him would not even look at him, the exiled son of Genji who had lost his backer!
Everyone has the same blood flowing in their bodies, but they are completely different!
Minamoto Yoritomo's heart beat slightly faster, but his face remained calm. He smiled and responded to the calls of the people around him. He looked at the middle-aged man in rich clothes sitting at the main seat. He was his father's brother and now the head of Genji's family.
—Minamoto Yorigo.
With a friendly smile on his face, Minamoto Yoritomo asked the waiter to look at Minamoto Yoritomo's seat. After Minamoto Yoritomo took his seat near him, he said: "Nephew, a message from paper crane was suddenly sent to us.
Everyone is gathered here waiting for you. What happened?
I heard from the waiter that the supreme sword has been sent to me by the Inoue family, hasn't it?"
