The close sword light made Dazna's hair stand on end in an instant, and his body made the ghost flash to the side, and rolled out in embarrassment.

The blade swept over his head, shaving off a few hairs.

The man who was about to kill Dazna, the 'thief' who broke into the treasure house, was also surprised.

He didn't expect this old man who was over fifty years old to be so flexible.

Ordinary people can't avoid his sword.

"But that's where the luck goes! Die, damn thief! ”

The man raised his katana again, took a quick stride forward, and instantly came to Dazna's side, mercilessly intending to split Dazna in half.

Dazna was so frightened that his mind went blank, and his body was subconsciously dodging.

Poof!

The blade slashed through his body, his clothes were torn, and there was a layer of flesh and blood, which was already boneless.

"Ahh

Rao is Dazna, and he can't help but scream loudly.

His arm was slashed open.

If the blade was slashed more precisely, his entire arm could be cut off.

Taking this opportunity, Dazna also saw the man who attacked him.

Dressed as a black samurai.

In his hand, he held a standard katana, and at his waist, there was a very short rib gap that was not unsheathed.

I think that against an opponent of this level, there is no need to draw a second knife at all.

Warrior!

Dazner recognized the man's position at once.

Not only that, but there is a very conspicuous emblem on his clothes.

The family crest of the great name of the country of Ha no Kuni.

It is a samurai retainer who belongs to the daimyo family, and it is very different from the ordinary ronin samurai.

They belong directly to the Daimyo, and each of them is a battle-hardened warrior, an elite who has been on the battlefield and killed countless people.

Dazna gasped for breath, and the warrior stepped forward again, kicking Dazna in the chest.

Dazna's body trembled as if struck by lightning, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.

You can also hear the sound of your ribs being kicked off.

The body slammed into the wall and rolled down.

The samurai stomped on Dazna's chest, preventing him from getting up.

The look on the samurai's face was not hideous, as if he was just dealing with an inconspicuous ditch rat.

"I know you, your name is Dazna, aren't you? It seems that you have discovered the secret here, and after you are executed, your family will be cleared up as well. You can only blame your bad luck. ”

The samurai's expression was grim, and his tone was resolute and cruel.

Gripping the hilt of the katana with both hands, he swung it down vigorously in Dazna's desperate expression.

The sound of breaking through the air made the samurai's ears move.

A stone flew towards his temple.

The samurai instantly moved to the side and back, and the blade swung down, and the stone split in half and fell.

A figure charged over and slammed into the samurai's arms.

The samurai was a little caught off guard, and his body rolled out, and the katana also fell to the side.

"Damn, you guy!"

Seeing an uninvited guest come here, an uncontrollable look of anger appeared on the samurai's face.

Kai...... Keisha? ”

Seeing the person who saved him, Dazna's eyes were slightly dazed, it was Kaisha in the fishing team.

A promising young man.

"I followed Mr. Dazner's trail here...... But it looks like there's some kind of secret hidden here. Why did the samurai of the Daimyo family appear here? ”

After Keisha rescued Dazna, he didn't make any next move, but was a little puzzled by the appearance of the daimyo samurai.

His eyes couldn't help but glance at the door not far away, and Kaisha's eyes flickered.

The samurai seemed to sense Kaisha's intentions and took a sip without explanation, but his eyes were fierce and murderous.

He pulled out the rib blade around his waist, and without trying to explain anything to Kaisha, he swung his knife and slashed it again, ready to kill the two.

"Wait, I guess there's some misunderstanding here!"

Kaisha wanted to stop the samurai's murderous intentions, but the samurai, who was completely enraged, only thought about how to kill the witnesses who appeared here as soon as possible.

If the secret here is exposed, not only him, but even his family may be questioned by the Daimyo of the Land of Waves.

The secrets here must not be exposed, especially the people of their own country.

Otherwise, the consequences are unimaginable.

"There's nothing to misunderstand, let's all die!"

The samurai's fierce blow made Kaisha's dodge very embarrassed.

Although Kaisha's physique is also considered a strong type, it is still quite different from the samurai who regularly exercise and even kill people.

In terms of combat skills, the two sides are not at the same level.

Kaisha rolled on the ground, picked up the katana that had fallen from the samurai's hands, and parried upwards.

The short blade came into contact with the katana, and the power exploded at one point, Kaisha's face was slightly pale, and his body felt very heavy, and the ribs pressed against the katana, as if there was an infinite amount of strength surging towards his body, making his body tremble.

Kaisha took a few steps back, his steps shrampling and his breathing rapid.

On the contrary, the samurai, although his eyes were full of anger, his breathing and footsteps were very calm, and his sword skills were as fast as lightning, and his moves were aimed at Kaisha's weak point.

Feeling the samurai's incomparably strong murderous intent, Kaisha's heart was awe-inspiring, and he knew that if he didn't deal with this samurai, both himself and Dazna might die here.

Moreover, the secrets here also made him curious.

The samurai of the famous family will never guard here for no reason.

There are signs of human life here, which proves that the samurai did not live here for a day or two, but for a long time.

"Ahem!"

Although there is an idea of wanting to kill the samurai, the gap in hard power between the two sides is too large.

Not to mention strength and speed, even the combat skills are clear at a glance, and the gap is obvious.

After all, Kaisha is just a fisherman, maybe more powerful than ordinary people, but compared to the samurai in front of him, it is very inadequate.

Within a moment, Kaisha had several bloody cuts on his body, and his clothes were stained red with blood.

If it weren't for the katana in his hand that also had the ability to threaten the other party, it is estimated that he would have fallen at the very beginning.

Bite!

Shaking off Kaisha's katana, the samurai saw that Kaisha's life was wide open in front of him, and it was impossible to stop his continuous attacks, and his face was overjoyed.

Now is the time!

The rib blade stabbed Kesha in the chest like a bolt of lightning, intending to kill him with a single blow.

Worst! Kaisha's whole body trembled, as if he knew that he could not block this blow, and the oppression of death also showed a little fear in his eyes, and a crazy color like struggle emerged from the depths of his eyes.

Just as the samurai's short blade was about to stab Kesha's chest, a bright red light shone in the darkness in the distance, and the samurai's gaze made contact with the red light for an instant, and his body stiffened inexorably for an instant, as if he had seen something extremely magical, and his face made a very strange expression.

Poof!

It wasn't until the cold blade pierced his body that he woke up from a dream, and his chest ached sharply.

Looking down at the katana that pierced his body, Kaisha's panting voice came into his ears, and his words were full of unwillingness:

"Damn, I could ......"

Before he could say more, he fell straight back, his breathing stopping.

"Whew...... Whew......"

Looking at the samurai who fell to the ground and died, both Kaisha and Dazna breathed a sigh of relief after being reborn.

At the end, the samurai stopped his movements very subtly, and the expression on his face became very strange, and his eyes were not staring at Kaisha, but at a certain position in the distance, which made Kaisha very puzzled.

Is there anyone else here? Kaisha looked around, the bare rock faces, and he couldn't see anyone hiding here.

"Mr. Dazner, are you alright?"

Kaisha threw away his katana and walked over to pick up Dazna and get him to his feet.

"No problem...... It's just that the body is a little unbearable, and it really hurts for this guy to kick people. ”

Dazna clutched his chest, where he had broken a few ribs, and when he returned, he estimated that he would have spent a lot of money on medicine.

With Kaisha's support, Dazna barely stood up.

"Thank you this time, Keisha. If it weren't for you, I might have lost my life. ”

"It's okay, it's what I have to do."

"By the way, where the hell is this?"

Dazna looked around, confused.

"It's an isolated island not far from where we're fishing, and the entrance is at the bottom of the island, but don't worry, I remember where I came, and we'll get out of here when we get some rest."

Seeing that Dazna was out of breath, Kaisha also knew that it was inconvenient for Dazna to move his body now.

"Okay."

Dazner did not object.

Kaisha nodded, and then he looked at the door deep in the cavern, made of a hard black wood that was difficult to force with tools.

So Kaisha walked over to the samurai's corpse and groped around it.

"What are you looking for?"

"Find the key. If this samurai were the janitor here, there would have been something like a key. I'm more concerned about what's hiding behind the door. ”

Keisha said without concealment.

"I think it's better not to know about this kind of thing. He was a samurai of the daimyo family. ”

Dazna said with trepidation.

"We have come here, and we have even encountered a death crisis, so we must know what the samurai are for killing us. Moreover, it has something to do with the daimyo here...... To be honest, I've always been confused about the policy of the Daimyofu. Whether it is the extermination of pirates in the past or the industry of the Oni Country this time, I feel that there are many problems. If there is a financial problem, then the cooperation with the economically developed oni country is undoubtedly a great opportunity to develop the national economy. ”

Kesha said.

Dazna nodded, he was also puzzled by the recent actions of the Daimyo's Mansion.

However, in the spirit of not wanting to cause trouble, Dazner rarely thought about these things.

It was only when the workers' cooperatives were closed down and their own interests were at stake that they protested a little, but they were severely beaten by the soldiers of the daimyo government and driven back.

Finding a copper key from the samurai, Kaisha stood up and walked to the door.

Dazna followed, equally curious about what was behind the door.

"Alright, now I'm going to open it."

Keishar put the key into the lockhole, turned it, and with a click, the lock opened.

Kesha took the lock off and pushed the door open.

The moment the door opened, he and Dazna stood in the doorway, and at a glance they saw the contents of the room, a dozen huge sealed boxes, covered with notes that said 'Do not open'.

"It's ......"

Dazna frowned.

"Open it and you'll know what it is."

Keisha walked over, grabbed a shovel from the side, and pried open the top plank of the box.

The moment the box was opened, the dazzling golden and jade light attracted the eyes of Kaisha and Dazna, and they stood in place in a daze, their brains blank, and their heartbeats accelerated suddenly.

It's no wonder they were stunned on the spot, both of them are very responsible people, and the money they have seen in their lives doesn't add up much. Although you don't know the price of these gorgeous jewels, the money you sell for is definitely an astronomical amount that anyone will be tempted by.

"These are ......"

Dazna was speechless.

In fact, he couldn't find the right sentence to describe the mood at the moment.

"Damn, we've all been deceived by the Daimyo!"

Kaisha seemed to understand something, and his face suddenly showed anger, and his fists clenched.

Deceived by the Daimyo?

As Dazner chewed on the meaning of these words, his body trembled suddenly, as if many things he didn't understand were connected together.

The samurai of the daimyo family served as gatekeepers here.

And they lived there for quite a long time, which proves that the wealth accumulated here began to be stored here not in a day or two, but very early.

However, in order to appease the surrounding pirates, the money of the daimyo and nobles should have been spent long ago.

If the samurai is from the pirate side, then there is no reason to wear clothes with the coat of arms of the daimyo family again.

If it was to hide from others, there was no need, and if it wasn't for chance, he and Kaisha wouldn't have come to such a place.

Dazna shuddered, he might have broken some conspiracy, and even touched the bottom line of the great masters of the country of waves.

"Kaisha, let's hurry up, let's act like we've never been here!"

Dazner's face turned pale, and his first thought was to run away.

"It's useless, Mr. Dazner, if there is a connection between this place and the Daimyo's Mansion, it will definitely be contacted regularly, and if the matter here is exposed, sooner or later we will be found out."

Because the fishing team they are in is the closest to here, with the action power of the Daimyo's Mansion, they will soon be found on their heads.

Dazna's body shook again.

"So what should we do? If the daimyo found out, we'll ......."

Kaisha thought for a moment and said, "Two ways. ”

"Which two ways?"

"Everyone in the fishing team and their families should leave the country of waves as soon as possible, as long as they reach a country that the daimyo of the country of waves can't reach in the palm of their hands."

Dazna thought about it, and this was indeed a solution.

However, as a person who has lived in the country of waves for decades, Dazner is very reluctant to leave so suddenly.

"What about the second option?"

"I will take the lead in dispersing the wealth here, and many of these parts belong to the people of the country of waves. Gather the strength of more people and put pressure on the daimyo to make this matter go away. But after that, I'm in charge of this and need to escape from the Land of Waves. Because the daimyo of the country of waves will take revenge on me. ”

"Kaisha!"

Dazna looked urgent.

This is clearly self-sacrificing.

"Actually, I'm leaning towards the second option, the country of waves is too poor, and with this windfall, life should be a little better."

In fact, Keisha has a pessimistic attitude towards this.

But it's good to change a little.

"And, Mr. Dazner, don't forget, I'm not from the Land of Waves, and leaving the Land of Waves is not a bad thing for me. Anyway, I'm at home, and I'm used to it. Besides, I can't spend all the money with so much money alone, so I might as well do something good before I leave this country. ”

Kaisha smiled calmly.

Dazna fell silent, not knowing if he should stop Kaisha.

It is true that if this approach is successful, it will benefit more people, and in the face of such a large number of public opinions, the daimyo will know about it by then, and he must not dare to criticize anything too harshly, after all, this is the daimyo's fault.

However, Kaisha, as the 'first evil', will definitely make the daimyo furious, and he wants to cut Kaisha with a thousand knives.

This selfish idea of sacrificing others to fulfill oneself made Dazner feel very guilty in his heart. Because in his heart, he also acquiesced to Kaisha's approach.

"Don't be discouraged, maybe my fate with this country will end here. Until then, I hope that Mr. Dazner will help gather the workers, and with that group of workers, the news of this place can be quickly spread throughout the country of waves. When the time comes, the Daimyo of the Land of Waves will have to admit this fact if he wants to stop it. ”

Kesha patted Dazna on the shoulder as a gesture of comfort.

Dazna nodded heavily and said seriously, "I know, I'll help with this." ”

……

After Dazna and Kaisha left, two men slowly emerged from the shadows of the cave.

It's Kazuhime and Cardo.

"The secret here has finally been revealed, but I don't know what the Daimyo's side of the country of waves will react to."

Cardo stroked his chin and pondered slightly.

The secret here has been discovered by the Oni Country years ago.

The money spent by the country of waves to pacify the pirates is nothing more than a left-handed trick to the right hand.

Although the alliance of merchants on the isolated island has been destroyed, the Daimyo of the Land of Wave has not taken out the money here, but has been hiding it.

Because once the money here is taken, the country of waves will have to pay off the debt to the country of ghosts.

Let the aristocracy of the country of waves truly live a life of hardship.

This is something that all the nobles of the country of waves cannot allow.

However, the nobility of the country of waves did not dare to take advantage of the wealth here, but let the country of ghosts find an opportunity.

What is here will be used on the sharp edge and cannot be wasted.

If used properly, the daimyo of the country of waves can quickly lose public opinion in the country of waves, and when the time comes, the country of ghosts will operate from it, and things will become even simpler.

"Anyway, I won't end this farce by doing nothing, in the end, the approach is still too immature."

Kazuhime said slowly.

"Does the eldest lady think that Kaisha will fail?"

"Isn't that self-explanatory? The 'slave' who used to be honest and dutiful suddenly became self-conscious, and even wanted to encroach on the interests of the 'master', and any 'master' would feel angry from the bottom of his heart. ”

Kazuhime expected such an ending.

Cardo thought about it, although he wanted to defend Kaisha for something, but according to the information obtained by the Oni no Kuni, after sorting it out, the result may not be much different from what Kazuhime predicted.

"Well, let's not correct it...... Maybe he'll die. ”

"Don't worry, I'll strike when it counts. In other words, if you can't even pass this level, it can only be said that you need to find better talents. ”

Kazuhime's words were extremely cold.

There is no way to do this, and there are some things that you can't really understand just by listening to others.

Only when you experience it yourself will you awaken to a higher level of consciousness.

This kind of thing, Kazuhime can't explain it to Kaisha, and it may even arouse the suspicion of the other party, leading to another unexpected change in the plan.

It's not yet time to negotiate openly with Kaisha.

"Alright, let's get out of here, there's no need to stay here anymore. Next, wait for the seeds to germinate on their own, blossom and bear fruit, and we can wait quietly. ”

"Yes, Miss."

Cardo lowered his head, and his eyes behind his sunglasses flashed with a sharp light.

◎

The next day, in the afternoon.

"Great, Daimyo-sama, something is wrong!"

The attendant hurriedly ran into the room where the Daimyo of the country of waves was, sweating profusely, as if he had encountered something extremely panicked, and his expression was extremely panicked.

"What's the matter? Don't you see I'm busy here? ”

The daimyo of the country of waves saw that the attendants didn't even knock on the door, so they broke in directly, which made him very dissatisfied.

He was holding a beautiful woman in a kimono with a half-open collar in his arms, and in front of him was a high-quality sake.

However, such a Yaxing was destroyed by a subordinate who suddenly broke in, so that the daimyo of the country of waves even had the idea of replacing the attendant immediately.

"If it's still because of the food distribution, you don't have to talk to me, you can go to the official in charge to deal with it. I don't want to listen to their noisy noises, it's annoying! Is there something to eat, and you can't stop their mouths? ”

The Daimyo of Wave Country grew impatient.

He didn't take this kind of thing to heart, this kind of boring thing, I really don't know why this group of untouchables must be so aggressive.

He didn't want to be deprived of his time to rest.

"It's not this, but there are indeed a lot of people gathered outside, claiming to collect debts from you, the daimyo!"

The squire said this with trepidation, as if he had drained all the strength in his body.

"Debt collection?"

The daimyo of the country of waves was slightly stunned, and the intimate action of hugging the woman couldn't help but stop.

The woman was very understanding, and knew that there were some things that she should not inquire about, so she got up from the floor and walked towards the inner room.

"Tell me clearly, what debt do those untouchables demand from me?"

There was a fierce glint in the eyes of the daimyo of the country of waves.

In this country, there is only what others owe him, and there has never been a time when he owes others something.

If he didn't say why, he wouldn't mind letting this group of troublesome pariahs know who was the real master of the country of waves.

The attendant replied, "It seems to be about the hidden treasure, and the person who led it is a fisherman named Kesha, and he seems to have discovered the secret there......"

Needless to say, the Daimyo of the Land of Waves fully understood.

Treasure ...... Secret...... The daimyo of the country of waves let out a sigh and stood up from the floor, his face was pale, his face was cold and frightening, and a terrifying murderous intent was brewing in his eyes.

The attendants were shocked by the fierce aura on the Daimyo of the Land of Waves, and they didn't dare to breathe.

"Take me there, and I'll explain it myself."

When the attendant raised his head, he found that the face of the Daimyo of the Land of Waves had returned to normal, his words had regained his calmness, and the corners of his mouth even showed a faint kind smile.

But in the eyes of the attendants, the Daimyo of the country of waves in this state is the most terrifying, like a devil who chooses people and devours them.

The attendants knew that the fate of those troublemakers would be very miserable.

Really, isn't it good to live honestly? You have to find death. The attendants couldn't help but complain.

Because of this incident, the daimyo may be angry with him and remove him from his position as a close attendant. This made the attendants very dissatisfied.
