Chapter 268: Qianqi Jiang

Chapter 268 Thousand Cavaliers
A few days later, a very legendary day in the history of the Baqi Kingdom arrived.
On this day, one of the most famous shogun in the history of the Baqi Kingdom, Yukari Kikukawa, cooperated with his right-hand man, the mysterious guest "Blood Fox" Nedith, "Sinary Star" Sith, and "Lone Wolf" from the mainland of Roland. "Rody started his adventure in Kyoto together.
According to many scholars in later generations, the origins of these three mysterious visitors are always controversial. Because according to General Kosei Kikugawa’s later disclosure, these three powerhouses are from the famous "dark mercenary" organization in Roland mainland, and the beautiful "blood fox" Nedith once said in person that the "dark mercenary" used There are countless masters, and their forces spread across the two continents of Roland and Guangming. It can be regarded as a huge force in an underground world.
However, countless scholars of later generations have almost scratched their hair, and they have not been able to find out what this "dark mercenary" is...
At this moment, Nedith was sitting in the carriage, leaning on the soft velvet backrest consciously, but her head was already tilted on Roddy’s shoulder, the expression on her face was like a lazy little girl. Cat-like-at this moment, "Blood Fox" Nedith never thought of how hard a problem her nonsense remarks would leave later scholars...
Roddy has lifted the curtain on the window of the car. Looking from a distance, after a few days of driving, the Kyoto of the Eight Qi Kingdom is already in front of him.
The architectural style of this city is obviously similar to that of Kawado City, except that the city walls are taller. The buildings along the road are basically still low buildings. It's just that there seem to be more troops coming and going, and groups of heavily armed troops are walking south.
The road leading to Kyoto was built extremely wide. The road is not the most famous ironwood in the island country, but a row of willow trees that look very emotional.
At this moment, under the breeze, Yang Liu Yiyi and the soldiers' golden horses and horses complemented each other, showing a feeling of iron, blood and tenderness.
"It seems that the war in the south is very tight." Sith sat across from Roddy, looked out the window, and couldn't help but whispered.
Roddy smiled slightly and nodded. It seems that the king's army must have put a lot of pressure on the dwarves in the south.
All the way into the city of Kyoto, Roddy discovered that this Kyoto actually has two walls, an inner city and an outer city! After entering the wall of the outer city, most of the residents here are some civilian businessmen, and the streets are a little messy and messy.
And the wall of the inner city was a little taller than the outer wall. A group of warriors with full armor stood on them. These warriors wore a very strange double-horned helmet with a long and narrow samurai sword hanging from their waists. Obviously quite martial arts.
Kikugawa was also a little awake at this moment. Although he was a little tired on the way, but now that he had returned to Kyoto, he immediately cheered up and introduced him to Roddy.
Most of the people living in the inner city are rich and wealthy people with status. The main street is also much wider than the outer city, and the people on the street are often invisible to the noisy and chaotic. People walk with their heads down and look serious. There are even more carriages and horses coming and going.
"The road we are walking on is called "Sakura Street". On the left side of the road are the territories of officers and generals and retainers under my father's shogunate. On the right, it belongs to the power of the royal family." Xingcheng smiled and said: "And this road continues forward, you can see the big mountain in the distance..." Kikukawa Xingcheng's tone gradually became serious: "That is the highest mountain in the Eight Kingdoms, the'Holy Mountain'. Folks also call it the mountain of abundance. This is the racial symbol of our Baqi people. If you look at it from a distance, it’s snowy and kind on the peaks, but this is a sacred mountain! Every few decades, from the mountain pass. Flames burst out of there!"
There was a move in Roddy's heart... Well, a mountain that spews flames? Wouldn't it be like the "volcano" described in the "Sunflower Treasure" left by Master Dandong?
Nedith sighed. She seemed to have known this for a long time, and there was a somewhat fascinating expression on her face, and she suddenly smiled: "This mountain seems to be a restricted area for the royal family. Outsiders can't get in. I really want to go in and see. Look, what is such a magical place like."
Sith also showed some fascination, but sighed: "Does it breathe fire? Then how did Kyoto come so close to it for so many years?"
"Well, in fact, this mountain has been encircled as the land of the royal family, and the palace where the royal family lives in our country is under the mountain! Although this mountain erupts once every 100 years, there is still a large lake with a radius of more than a dozen miles under the mountain. ! In history, every time the sacred mountain erupted in flames, a large sea of ​​fire would flow down the mountain pass, but when it flowed to the lake at the foot of the mountain, it would be blocked. So it would not endanger the distant Kyoto city And the imperial palace under the mountain." Kikukawa said with a smile: "The last eruption of the sacred mountain was fifty years ago, so I don’t have to worry about it for the time being... Well, if the three of you are interested in there, we might as well go and see together. Look, although the sacred mountain is the domain of the royal family, you can't enter it, but the lake at the foot of the mountain can still be seen closer."
Roddy lowered his head and thought, then suddenly he said, "You said this mountain will breathe fire, so every time it breathes fire, the earth must be shaking?"
Kikukawa said with a "barbarian" and said in surprise: "How did Mr. Roddy know? When this sacred mountain breathes fire, it will indeed tremble with the earth. It must be the reason for the anger of the gods, but this is only us The dwarves know, where did you learn it?"
Roddy shook his head and didn't answer, just staring at the tall and clouded mountain in the distance, as if in a trance.
Suddenly heard the buzzing bells coming from outside, Kikugawa Xingcheng raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "This is my father who is ordering an urgent meeting. We happened to go to the shogunate first and take me to Sichuan this time. Report the household’s affairs to my father."
After speaking, he looked at the three with questioning eyes.
Nidis smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Master Juchuan, we will go with you. As long as you pretend that nothing has happened, we will help you secretly as we negotiated on the road. "
Kikugawa Kosei showed a bit of joy on his face and nodded vigorously.
The shogunate is on the left of the "Sakura Street" road, which is a bit different from what Roddy had imagined.
It turned out that in his imagination, the core site of the highest power of the Eight Qi Kingdom should be the kind of splendid golden wall and huge building with strong security. But when I really walked here, I found that it was nothing more than a large area of ​​low-bottomed houses.
The periphery of the wall was surrounded by rows of lush trees, and apart from a few samurai guards at the door, there were no soldiers patrolling back and forth.
The architectural style of the gate in front of you is extremely simple and elegant, not like a general's residence at all, but like a scholar's library.
The warriors of Fengcheng Hideyoshi who had just collected outside had already stopped the carriage and stood on both sides. Fengcheng Hideyoshi was also a little nervous, opening the door and helping the people in the carriage one by one. The samurai at the door saw that it was Kikugawa's carriage, and immediately someone ran in to report it, and other people greeted it and stood on both sides.
Kosei Kikukawa returned to his turf with a more arrogant expression. He was about to say something aloud, when he heard the rush of horses hoofs from the road behind, and seven or eight war horses came from the street like a whirlwind. The horse was swept up, and when he ran to Kikugawa, Xingcheng didn’t go far, and suddenly stopped. The knight’s equestrian skills were extremely adept. Although the horse was stopped under the rapid gallop of the horse, the horse was manpowered and hissed, but the knight on the horse was The posture is calm, his face is calm and sturdy.
Not far away, Kikukawa Yusaka saw the running horse approaching him, with a look of fear on his face.
The knight on the horse showed a disdainful smile, turned over and jumped off the horse. Standing in front of Kikugawa Kosei, he said lightly: "Xingcheng, are you back?"
Roddy then took a closer look at the guy in front of him.
This person is taller than the average dwarf, and he looks quite sturdy and sturdy. He wore a samurai suit made of coarse cloth. Not only did the coarse cloth not show the slightest vulgarity when worn on him, but it also brought out his mighty power. Sturdy look! Seeing that he was less than 30 years old, he had long hair in the back with a tall braid like a dwarf warrior hairstyle. The lines on his face were sharp and sharp, especially his eyes showed a little bit of brilliance.
Could it be that this is the other son of the old General Kikugawa, Kikugawa Yasuichi?
Roddy and others didn't know Kikukawa Yasunichi, and were hesitating to go up and give politely. The young warrior had already swept his eyes towards Roddy and the three of them. When he saw Nedith, his eyes showed a bit of aggression. His eyes looked up and down Nedith unscrupulously, even Can't help sticking out his tongue and adding lips. When he saw Roddy, his eyes flashed, and he looked back at Kikugawa's Yukisei, and said with a deep smile: "It seems that Yukchen's come back this time, but he has recruited a few experts!"
With suppressed anger in Kikugawa's eyes, he still calmly replied, "Master Nobunaga said and laughed. These are my new family generals."
Then he glanced at the three of Roddy and Kikukawa Kikushin said solemnly: "This is the number one warrior under my father's command in the shogunate, Lord Oda Nobunaga.
