in the cabin.

Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi sat opposite each other, with a Japanese knife lying horizontally in front of them.

"It's a pity, I thought I could snatch the mysterious short sword that stabbed Yu Dayou from that Maeda's hand, but I didn't expect it to be just a sword from Matsuura Shinkuro. Li Shuyi said.

According to Yu Dayou's description, the short sword that stabbed him was a straight sword without a sword and in the shape of a bamboo joint, which was very different from this sword, and naturally it was not the same one.

"It's because I think it's wrong," Bai Xiaowen said, "Matsuura Shinkuro attaches great importance to that mysterious short sword, and regards it as an artifact, so he won't let his servants touch it casually. ”

"I thought I could just steal the mysterious dagger and complete this sword-finding mission. Li Shuyi said with a smile.

"No, even if we stole not the sword, but the mysterious short sword, it still doesn't count as completing the mission, and we will still kill Matsuura Shinkuro in the end. Don't forget, the requirements of the rules of the spirit world require that the acquisition of equipment must be through the resonance of psionic particles in order to legally obtain equipment, and weapons stolen like this cannot be used. ”

Bai Xiaowen pulled the knife out of its sheath, looked at the smooth blade and the cold and hard blade, slashed a few times, and finally slashed it on the table.

There was a muffled thud, and there was only a slight dent on the tabletop, which was not cracked. The sword doesn't match the sharpness it seems.

This sword should be a rare weapon in itself, at least heroic-level (gold) equipment.

However, this knife was snatched from the other party by Bai Xiaowen by exploiting loopholes to kill Maeda, the servant who maintained the sword for Matsuura Shinkuro. Bai Xiaowen did not have the authority to "legally" own this knife, the psionic particles had no resonance, and in Bai Xiaowen's hands, it was not even as good as a burning stick.

In addition, Bai Xiaowen couldn't take this knife out of the Jiajing Plane World.

Bai Xiaowen continued: "I manipulated the shadow assassins, and found out the widow who helped Matsuura Shinjiuro maintain the knife in the inner circle dormitory, and killed him to grab the knife, mainly to weaken the combat power of Matsuura Shinjiuro, after all, this is a leader who can defeat Yu Dayou, although he used unscrupulous means, but his strength is undoubted. The most important thing to guard against is the kind of 'evil method' he uses. ”

That kind of evil method of dedicating one's own life, even a rare leader like Yu Dayou, a strong military general known for his personal strength, can't bear it, and if it is not good, there is a judgment of direct death, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi's small bodies are much weaker than Yu Dayou, once they are hit, they have to shed their skin if they don't die.

Bai Xiaowen's clever plot to seize the mysterious short sword, on the one hand, weakened Matsuura Shinjiuro, and on the other hand, it could also make Matsuura Shinjiuro desperately chase after him, and then destroy it. In this way, he can take "ownership" of the mystical dagger.

However, the plan deviated slightly, and instead of capturing the mysterious dagger, he captured the sword of Shinkuro Matsuura.

"In this way, will Matsuura Shinkuro still catch up?"

"It should be," Bai Xiaowen put the knife away and returned it to its sheath, "First of all, the Japanese ronin samurai cherish the katana more than we imagined. In their hearts, the katana is almost more important than life. The reason why do you need someone to maintain the samurai sword? It is because the process of maintaining a katana is extremely cumbersome, and there are many steps such as removing the handle, polishing the knife twice, appreciating the knife, oiling, and so on. ”

"For many Japanese ronin samurai, a famous sword, almost a treasure passed down from generation to generation, is almost a glorious proof of the surname. ”

Bai Xiaowen finally concluded: "Therefore, although there is a little deviation in the plan, it does not affect the result. As long as we are sure that there are no traps, Matsuura Shinkuro will definitely catch up and vow to kill us and reclaim the sword. ”

......

After Shinkuro Matsuura shouted "chase", he was stopped by Matsuura Shisuke.

"My lord, beware of deception. ”

"What can a group of lost dogs do?" Matsuura Shinkuro disagreed.

"What if they collude with the military and the government?" said Matsuura Shisuke.

Although Matsuura Shinkuro was furious, he had to guard against the danger that Matsuura Shisuke said. At the moment, he was a little hesitant, it was impossible to give up the sword.

And at this moment, in the midst of a commotion, a group of Japanese robbers escorted a person and came to Matsuura Shinkuro.

"Leader Xin Jiulang, this person sneaked down from the Ming people's ship and said that he must see you!"

Matsuura Shinkuro glanced at the man, and was surprised to find that the person was somewhat familiar, and pointed at him and said, "You...... Aren't you...... Are there any retainers of the Arima family who follow Maha?"

The man knelt down with a puff: "Lord Xin Jiulang, I am Arima Jiro, the steward under the leader of Maha, and I finally escaped from the hands of those Ming people. ”

"Hmm, what is the origin of those Ming people? They claim to be Ma Ye's subordinates, and they broke out to ask me for help, is it true or false?"

Arima Jiro: "My lord, they only told half the truth! They themselves are not wrong to be the subordinates of the leader of the Ma Ye, but when the Ma Ye leader was in danger, their two boats were not on Kinmen Island, and there is no way to talk about breaking through! At that time, I asked them to go back to save the Ma Ye leader, but they were greedy for life and afraid of death, so they directly refused. ”

After a pause, Arima Jiro continued slowly, "I reprimanded them severely, but these Akito pirates were so mad that they tied me up. Makita was cowardly, and after being frightened by the Ming pirates, he confided in the true identity of the leader of the Astaba and your whereabouts, so they came here, saying that they wanted to see how powerful you were here and whether it was worth taking refuge in. ”

Matsuura Shinjuro's face was gloomy: "They didn't have the sincerity to join me at all, and they killed my entourage and stole my treasure sword!"

Arima Jiro said: "Those arrogant Akito who are planning to set up their own gates, they seem to have a lot of opinions about you, saying that you are just a small country's pirates, and they want to use their pirates of the Heavenly Kingdom as cannon fodder, and discuss revenge before leaving...... I've seen with my own eyes that when they got your knife, they actually ......."

Although Arima Jiro's speech was slower, and some of his straightforward speech lacked emotion, the angry Matsuura Shinkuro didn't care about this, but endured his anger and asked, "How are they?"

"I actually used your treasure knife to chop wood and kill fish, and said that the blade was not sharp enough, and it was only worthy of being used as a-stirring stick in the toilet......"

"Yaga!"

Matsuura Shinkuro roared, turned his hand and pulled out a sword from a samurai on the side, and with a crisp and sharp slash, Arima Jiro's head was slashed off, and blood gushed wildly!

"Get on the boat, set sail, and chase me! I'm going to break those hateful Ming people to pieces!"

Matsuura Shisuke had the heart to persuade him, but seeing that Matsuura Shinkuro couldn't listen to anything, he sighed and didn't speak. Anyway, judging from Arima Jiro's description, these Ming pirates did not collude with the official army, and there would be no danger in the pursuit of Matsuura Shinkuro.
