Chapter 730: Merchant Ships Attacked

The last move used by Masashi was the highest sword technique he had recently mastered, "Floating Boat". The effect of this trick is like a light boat floating on the water with the waves, and it is erratic. The highest level is capable of creating a floating shadow in the path of the attack, giving the illusion of hitting the target. And Zhengliang has already practiced this trick to the highest level.

Although the duel had ended in a short time, the courtyard was still silent and silent. Only a few cherry blossom trees full of flowers and cherry blossom petals swaying in the wind stand quietly in a corner, as if they sigh at the impermanence of the world.

The time of the fierce fight was indeed very short, from the appearance of the Assassin, to the fight with Masa, to the Assassin being knocked down by Masa, the two sides only fought each other for less than a quarter of an hour.

But it was in this quarter of an hour that everyone present witnessed the wonderful battle between two extraordinary masters of martial arts. Everyone present, including Nozomi Aso, Yamanaka Mikawa Moriyuki, and Kosuke, truly realized what martial arts were, and at the same time developed a deep sense of reverence for Masahiro.

The man had a respect for Zhengliang because of his love for force, and even learned a trace of martial arts from the fight between the two masters, which made them gain a lot. For women, it is completely out of a kind of admiration for heroes. Being able to fall in love with such a man is naturally what they yearn for. So at that moment, Nozomi Aso suddenly felt that even if his reputation was damaged by such a person, it was not a bad thing.

Naturally, Masahiro didn't know that these people around Lu Dao had so many thoughts in an instant. After gently falling to the ground, Masarashi slowly reinserted the ghost cut in his hand into the scabbard. Then he slowly turned to look at the assassin behind him.

He was very confident in Fang Cai's move. Originally according to the effect of this trick. The Assassin should have had his head blossomed by this time. But at the moment of hitting the assassin in the head. Masarashi temporarily changed his move, changing the blade that cut towards the assassin to the blade that slapped the assassin's head, so that the assassin was not killed on the spot.

It's just that being able to make a temporary change of tactics is already a very advanced martial arts, and in the end, Masahiro still failed to reduce too much strength. So even if the Assassin's head hadn't been cut open, it was unknown if the skull would have been shattered.

At this time, the Assassin was lying on the ground about a few steps away from Masaara, his face lying horizontally, his hand clutching the long knife. There is still a persistent force. Although at this time, it can still be seen that his smile suddenly turned from a relieved smile to a strange expression of surprise. But his expression was not painful at all, for he had fought with all his strength and was satisfied. Those who fought with all their strength and did their best were dead without regrets, and there was no trace of regret on their faces.

Masara suddenly noticed the few cherry blossom petals that had been cut into several pieces that had fallen beside him at this moment, and he couldn't help but feel a chill on his back. This is supposed to be the cherry blossom petal that the Assassin hit when he counterattacked, and was picked up by Masarashi when he jumped.

"This should be the most powerful master I have encountered since I came to this world."

Thinking of this, Masarashi suddenly felt grateful and respectful to the Assassin. He believed that this was a boon from the Assassins. The Assassin's resolute attitude towards his sword, a warrior at the moment, allowed him to truly appreciate the true meaning of martial arts. Suddenly, he remembered when he had met the Sword Saint Tsukahara Buden in the Goto region. What Tsukahara Buden said to him about martial arts. Now it's finally a little bit clear.

"Lord!"

Seeing Masarashi suddenly stand there pondering, Kosuke worries that something has happened to Masa. So he cautiously came to Masa's side and called out quietly.

Kosuke's call woke Masarashi from his contemplation, and he responded lightly, then silently walked over to the Assassin, kneeling on one knee beside the Assassin. He tested the assassin's breath with his left hand, and when he found that there was still breath, he immediately relieved his brow.

"Take him down secretly, and be careful not to be discovered. The assassination incident will not be publicized for the time being, and then interrogate this person properly to find his companions as soon as possible. ”

"Yes!" Kosuke, who received the order, led the way. This time, due to the negligence of the search, the Governor of the family was assassinated, and he was already scared into a cold sweat. Now it is natural to hurry up and receive the order.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is really disturbing." After Kosuke took the order, Masara came to Yamanaka Mikawa Mori and others and said apologetically, it was indeed a bit too much to say that they as messengers would encounter danger in the castle town where the Luo family's daimyo lived.

"Hahaha, the repair doctor doesn't need to mind, we will never make a noise about this matter until the adults find out the details. But the adult's martial arts are really worthy of the name! "The three rivers in the mountains are full of luck, but Da Lu said with a smile. The martial bravery that Masahiro had just shown was indeed an unusually shocking thing to him. He thought to himself that if he faced Shangzheng Liang alone, it was estimated that he would not be able to take three moves in the hands of Zhengliang and be killed. It seems that the title of "Wisdom and Courage Shuangquan Kyushu Eagle" is not in vain. As a result, in the heart of Yamanaka Mikawa Mamori, he was already full of respect for the young daimyo of Masayo.

"In that case, please stay in your family's office for the time being. Until these Assassins are found, please refrain from going out for the time being. Masato told again. In order to ensure the safety of these people, after returning to the country, Masahiro is ready to increase the protection power of the diplomatic office.

"Definitely!" Mikawa Mamori in the mountains also immediately agreed. After this adventure, they have also become much more cautious. After all, their identities are too sensitive, and there are too many forces trying to disadvantage them, so they must be vigilant in the future.

"Well, Riki seems to have been mentioning that you rarely visit her lately, so move into the city today." After pacifying the people of the Niko family, Masara found Nozomi Aso, who had re-entered the room. At this time, Nozomi Aso's mood was also uneasy, after all, the series of events this time were actually caused by her. At least these assassins were trying to use her as a breakthrough to find an opportunity to get close to Masayo, but Masara came to this courtyard by mistake and staged a battle of masters. Now that she heard Zhengliang's arrangement for her, she also knew that she couldn't stay in this courtyard any longer, so she agreed to Zhengliang's arrangement in a daze.

So, after settling everything down, the Assassin time came to an end for the time being, but thankfully, there were no fatalities in this incident. In the whole process, only a few of Aso's servants and the army of the Luo family were knocked unconscious.

It's just that when he returned to the castle tower in Gakufu Castle, Masarashi received an urgent report from Chikuzen.

"What? Chikuzen merchants' grain ships were robbed at sea, and the robbers were likely to be the Iki Hakaku navy? ”
