Doihara Jiro's sword was as fast as lightning, unexpected, and sinister. No one expected that Doihara Jiro would fight with the thought of dying together. After all, ants are still living an ignoble life. How could a human not want to live? However, , Doihara Jiro's sudden move caught Iga Sangenta by surprise.
Iga Sangenta quickly dodged, but after all, it was a step too late.
"Pfft,."
The blade of the knife penetrated the lower abdomen, and the blade penetrated the body and immediately cut the skin. This knife penetrated the flesh for three inches. Although it was not fatal, the injury was serious. In an instant, warm blood spattered out and fell on Jiro Doihara's body. On the palm of your hand.
Iga Sangen was crazy with pain. The blade inserted in Doihara Jiro's chest stirred and immediately crushed Doihara Jiro's heart and completely cut off Doihara Jiro's life.
Before he died, Doihara Jiro murmured: "I won't make you feel better even if you die."
After the words fell, Doihara Jiro lost his breath.
His body lost support and instinctively leaned forward, unable to stand steadily anymore.
Iga Sangenta was furious in his heart, and a knife rushed out from Doihara Jiro's chest, and the knife from Doihara Jiro's body was stuck in his lower abdomen. Iga Sangenta looked at the knife that was constantly soaked in blood. I felt like I was capsized in the gutter, and the anger in my heart became more and more intense.
"idiot,,."
He roared angrily and cut out the long knife in his hand again.
"call out,."
Above the light of the sword, the blade sliced across Doihara Jiro's neck and cut off Doihara Jiro's head. Iga Sangenta didn't give up and continued to swing the knife. In the blink of an eye, Iga Sangenta actually killed Doihara Jiro. The limbs were removed, turning Jiro Doihara's body into a stick, bare and gushing out blood.
Such a terrifying and cruel method made Emperor Xiaomei's face turn pale, with fear still shining in his eyes.
Such methods made the emperor also feel scared.
This scene scared not only Emperor Komei and others, but also a group of warriors participating in the fight, as well as the scholars sitting nearby watching. Most of them saw the heads falling on the ground and the limbs on the ground, and their expressions were all expressions. pale.
Scholars usually live a comfortable life, reading books, picking up girls, and raising flowers, which are all arty things. They rarely come into contact with fighting and killing. When they suddenly saw the scene of killing, beheading and limbs, they suddenly became distracted. fall.
Yoshida Shoin secretly regretted finding Iga Sangenta because this person was too cruel. He suppressed the feeling of nausea in his chest and said: "Takasugi-kun, this person is too murderous. You need to be careful in the future." ."
Takasugi Shinsaku said: "The teacher's words should be kept in mind by the disciples."
The two talked for a while, and the first battle was over. However, the first opening confrontation had already pushed the atmosphere to a climax. Everyone present was shocked and surprised.
Li Zhen's eyes swept over Iga Sanyuanta, looking at the injured person, and frowned slightly, because this man's ruthlessness also left a deep impression on him. Iga Sanyuanta was seriously injured. This time the competition was considered a failure, because he could not participate in the next round of competition. Li Zhen looked at Zhao Liewen and ordered: "Continue to draw lots and prepare for the next group."
"Yes." Zhao Liewen nodded immediately and quickly selected those who needed to continue participating in the competition.
The competition is still going on, and the location is still the same place where the ground was stained with blood just now.
However, Doihara Jiro's body was dragged away.
Yang Jianhou sat behind Li Zhen. He was young and had a lively temper. After sitting for a while, he could no longer sit still under his buttocks. He leaned slightly forward. After approaching Li Zhen, he asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, what about Ito Hirobumi?" What is the answer to the question raised by the Japanese? It is more time-saving to conduct the literary test and the martial arts test at the same time, so why bother to carry out each one one by one."
Li Zhenxiao said: "I said I have no reason, do you believe it?"
"Do not believe."
Yang Jianhou's head shook like a rattle, thinking that Li Zhen must have other ideas.
In Yang Jianhou's eyes, Li Zhen is a resourceful person. He even thinks that Li Zhen has a gangster temperament, which is what Yang Jianhou admires. Warriors pay attention to doing whatever they want, and Yang Jianhou is also the same. He is very casual and not particular. He follows Li Zhen is not restricted by any rules and regulations. This is where Yang Jianhou feels most comfortable.
Zhao Liewen's eyes fell on the second group of warriors who started to compete. He thought for a while and continued: "I think the reason why the prince wants to carry out the task one by one is to test the other party's scholars. Once the martial arts and literary examinations of both sides are at the same time, To carry out, it is necessary to separate, and let the scholars participate in the fighting, which can test the psychological quality of these scholars to the maximum extent. Look at the scholars below, they can be calm and unchanging in such bloody scenes, they are all good The psychological quality of these people is absolutely excellent.”
Li Zhen smiled slightly and continued to watch the competition between the two sides.
The second competition was not as brutal as the first one. It ended with the defeat of the samurai under Emperor Komei. Moreover, the samurai under Emperor Komei also had his head chopped off and died in a miserable manner. The people of Yoshida Shoin's line were not affected at all. .
The third and fourth games followed, and there were twenty contests, which did not take too long.
In an hour, all twenty competitions were over. After the final competition results were quickly tallied up, Li Zhen was not surprised after seeing it. He just lamented that there was no one in the royal family and the people he found were mediocre. generation.
In the battle between the two sides, the warriors under Emperor Komei's command suffered sixteen casualties, and only four were uninjured. The warriors invited by Yoshida Shoin only suffered six casualties, and the remaining sixteen were intact.
According to the rules set by Li Zhen, the four warriors under Emperor Xiaomei will continue to fight. However, the sixteen intact warriors under Yoshida Shoin do not need to all go into battle. They only need to select four warriors to come out to fight. Even if Emperor Komei's warriors The four warriors must win every game, and they must challenge and win the first three games in a row in order to reach the end.
If such a round-the-wheel battle continues, it must be quite cruel. In fact, the warriors under Emperor Xiaomei have no chance of winning and are likely to be completely defeated. However, Emperor Xiaomei must continue.
Li Zhen glanced at the literati present. Some of the literati were already pale and their bodies were shaky.
Obviously, they were all frightened by this bloody scene.
"Okay, let's rest for a while and then continue the fight."
Li Zhen said a very considerate word, and the scholars present left one after another. Whether they were under the command of Emperor Komei or the scholars invited by Yoshida Shoin, they all left one by one and ran to the corner to bend down and gasp for breath. With.
Li Zhen's eyes turned to Zhao Liewen next to him, and he lowered his voice and said: "Pay attention to the scholars under Emperor Xiaomei who have not moved, and the scholars under Yoshida Shoin whose demeanor has not changed. They must be recorded so that we can pay attention."
"yes,."
Zhao Liewen nodded in agreement and took notes one by one.
