The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 364

[Chapter 359 The team grows]

Hearing Kumiko said that in order to maintain peace, the village made a promise with the shochu-dōji to enshrine a child to him in one season of each year as a sacrifice to ensure that the shochu-dōdō would not invade the village.

Now this agreement has lasted for more than 30 years, and the number of children who died under the mouth of the drinking boy has reached a horrific number of more than 300 people, who have committed serious crimes.

Because of this, almost every household in the village has a drinking boy with hatred, but it is because of his lack of strength that he cannot kill the drinking boy, so he has no choice but to endure it.

If Zhong Yu can avenge them, the villagers in the village will definitely be very grateful and earn their respect.

For being able to kill the drunk boy, Zhong Yu’s name of martial arts can also spread quickly.

After all, this is a big demon that has been harming for decades, and it has a certain reputation in the entire Yamamoto County.

Being able to kill such a famous monster itself represents a kind of strength, worthy of respect and obedience.

Looking at the forest, Zhong Yu didn’t go in rashly, but left around the forest and walked towards the mountain village five miles away beside the forest.

Such a dangerous jungle is full of poisonous insects and beasts, and there are even more monsters in it.

If you don’t have a familiar guide and step in rashly, you will definitely die miserably.

Therefore, it is very necessary to find a skilled mountaineer in the surrounding villages and let him lead the way.

Soon, Zhong Yu came to the gate of the village.

There were three or four villagers holding spears at the entrance of the village. When they saw Zhong Yu in a gorgeous and expensive dress, they all clenched their spears nervously and looked at Zhong Yu with vigilance.

The five guard warriors in the village also heard the news early, and ran to the gate of the village to meet this very noble character in the mouth of the villagers.

At this sight, unlike the ignorant and ignorant of the villagers, I have seen a few warriors in the world, and my heart is very shocking.

The clothes of Zhong Yu in front of him are extremely gorgeous, and the workmanship is so fine that the clothes are also made of unknown fabrics, which look extremely gorgeous and supple.

If nothing else, just say this outfit is something they have never seen before.

Even the head of the Yamamoto family that they had seen on the battlefield before was not wearing such gorgeous clothes.

It is conceivable that people who can afford such clothes have a very simple origin and identity.

Far from their little warriors, or even the small family they belong to, the Dongping family can afford.

Thinking of this, several warriors couldn’t help but glance at each other, their eyes were full of tension and vigilance, and even a trace of fear, they quickly restrained the vigilance on their faces, and said to Zhong Yu in a respectful tone.

“My esteemed lord, I don’t know where you come from. I’m waiting for this small mountain village to do anything for you.”

“I am a samurai who has traveled all over the world. After I came to Izumo, I heard that there was a demon beside the village that was causing trouble and harming the village, so I wanted to eradicate him. But I don’t know the mountains and forests, so I want to come to this village. Find a guide, help me find these monsters, kill them all, and benefit one side.”

There was still a smile on the corner of Zhong Yu’s mouth, and he said lightly.

Wandering samurai, beheading demons.

These two words made the village guard samurai in front of him think in his heart.

Such a familiar word could not help but remind them of the legendary big families who came from noble families, with noble blood flowing in their bodies, but because of the family’s power struggle, they had to go out to wander, walk the world, and pursue other ways.

After the political failure of these big family children, they often become either monks or samurai.

And becoming a samurai, because of the noble blood flowing, often refuses to succumb to those famous names.

Therefore, they can only wander in all directions, and in the process, slay demons and demons, and spread the name of their martial arts.

“The man in front of him should be the son of a big family who has failed politically.”

A few warriors guessed in their hearts, and they couldn’t help but respect the person in front of them even more. They were nobles with noble blood flowing, and they were definitely worthy of their awe.

A failed child of a big family like this can be a guest of honor of the big names everywhere, no matter where they go.

And they have a great right to speak within the domain of the daimyo, relying on their noble surnames and bloodlines that have been passed down for thousands of years.

Moreover, the failure of these children in the family does not mean that the family has completely abandoned them, and there is still some concern about their whereabouts.

If they are powerful in some places, these big families will definitely send people to investigate and find out the cause of death. If they are angered, then the Dongping family is likely to be destroyed.

With these considerations in mind, a few samurai had questions about how to receive Zhong Yu,

He couldn’t help but feel more apprehensive and cautious.

After all, it is said that these noble people in the legend have deep-rooted rigidity of etiquette. UU reading www.uukanshu.com requires strict etiquette in every move and reception, and cannot be overstepped.

People who were born despicable in the countryside really don’t know much about etiquette, so don’t collide with the nobles in some aspects.

Under their warm reception, Zhong Yu entered the most luxurious room in the village and settled there.

And that night, a banquet was held in the village, and the most distinguished people in the village were called together to welcome Zhong Yu’s arrival.

However, when they finally stated their goal during the banquet, hoping that they would send some villagers to help them find the devil who swallowed the drink, and then kill him, everyone changed color.

No matter if he was afraid of angering the drinking boy, he would not be able to kill him at that time. Instead, the drinking boy was furious and started killing the village.

It’s still not what these people want to see after being killed by the drinking boy in front of him, and then leading the big family behind him to destroy the drinking boy.

So they couldn’t help but persuade euphemistically, hoping to let this noble-born son in front of him give up his dream of being a warrior of slaying demons and slaying demons, and turn to face reality.

However, their persuasion was useless. Zhong Yu already had an idea. In order to make his injury recover faster, how could he back down.

Finally, the two sides reached a more satisfactory agreement.

The village promised to send people to help Zhong Yu find the drinking boy, but these people were all samurai.

The five guardian warriors in the village, except the leader who stayed to defend the village, the remaining four followed Zhong Yu.

With the addition of four samurai, no matter how powerful the drinking boy is, at least it can guarantee Zhong Yu’s retreat.

Even if Zhong Yu is really strong, it is not impossible to kill the drinking boy.
