Chapter 746: Shattered Faith, Interesting Encounter
"Don't try to escape!"
The masked four men saw Yang Hui leaving, pulled out the samurai swords hidden under their coats and were about to chase him, but were stopped by Fujido Kagashiro.
"Your Highness has handed you over to me, but I will not let you go."
A knight's sword was not at all inferior to four samurai swords, and it was easy to deal with them.
"Sure enough! Who are you?!" After being repelled, an assassin took off his mask without hiding his identity and questioned Fujido Kagashiro.
"..."
"Although you are using the knight sword of Bnitalia, the swordsmanship you use is indeed Fujido-ryu, at least a master of the teacher level, and you can easily deal with the four of us. Now there is only one living inheritor of Fujido-ryu who can do it, you! Fujido!"
"......Alas." Fujido Kagamishiro sighed until the other party saw through his identity, and took off his mask for the first time outside the Governor's Mansion. He also understood that this was the reason why Yang Hui led people into the deserted alley and handed the four people to him alone. "Long time no see, Senba, Bobu, Asahina, Chiba."
"It's really you! Lord Fujido!" Seeing Fujido Kagamishiro's face, the other three didn't care and took off their masks excitedly.
"It's me. I'm glad to see you're still alive."
"But why... I understand! You're an undercover agent! You've been lurking around [Nightmare]!" Asahina, who likes to use her brain, imagined that Fujido Kagamishiro endured humiliation and was willing to bear the stigma of [traitor], lurking around Yang Hui, working hard for the revival of Sakura Country. Then, their appearance made Fujido Kagamishiro suspected by Yang Hui, with a painful look on his face.
"Is that so? Master Fujido? Are you an undercover agent around [Nightmare]!?" Bube and Chiba were also convinced by Asahina's imagination, otherwise they really couldn't understand why the [samurai born in the wrong era] would betray his country.
Only the oldest Senba was not excited. He also hoped that Asahina's guess was correct, but... Fujido Kagamishiro
"Sorry, I disappoint you." Fujido Kagamishiro shook his head and said firmly to the four people, "I am loyal to His Highness Yang Hui with my own will."
"Master Fujido! How could... How could you..." Hearing Fujido Kagamishiro tell the truth in person, Bubu, Chiba and Asahina, who believed in Fujido Kagamishiro very much, suffered a major blow. They were unwilling to believe it anyway.
"Master Fujido, why!? Where did you go?!" Asahina, who was unwilling to believe the truth, was heartbroken. With his faith broken, he rushed over with a knife and slashed at Fujido Kagamishiro.
But Fujido Kagamishiro was half of Asahina's master. Even if Asahina used Fujido Ryu to the extreme in a calm state, she was not Fujido Kagamishiro's opponent, not to mention that he had lost his mind and his moves were a mess.
He blocked Asahina's slash, leaned sideways to make Asahina lose balance, and hit Asahina's neck with his sword, making him unable to move.
"Asahina!" Seeing this, Chiba rushed forward again, but this time Bubu and Senba pulled her back in time and stopped her from being impulsive.
"Toudou..." Senba looked at Fujidou Kagamishiro with a complicated expression. He was different from the other three people. He was older and knew more about the warmth and coldness of human feelings. He could also guess why Fujidou Kagamishiro betrayed Sakura Country and was loyal to Yang Hui. Under normal circumstances, he could understand Fujidou Kagamishiro's choice, but at this time...
Once again standing in front of them as an enemy, Senba only felt that things are unpredictable.
"Let's go together." Seeing that the three stopped moving, Fujido Kagamishiro once again raised the knight's sword, "Defeat me, then challenge His Highness Yang Hui, or be defeated by me."
"There is a third choice, Bubu, take Chiba and go first." Senba pushed the two back. He knew that it was impossible for the three of them to defeat Fujido Kagamishiro. Asahina had been captured, and the three of them could not all die here.
"Senba! You..."
"Give up, Senba." Fujido Kagamishiro also saw what Senba was planning, laughed and shook his head, "Why do you think His Highness chose to walk into the alley? You don't have a chance to fight on the street."
"What did you say!?" The three were shocked, but soon realized that something was wrong. Yang Hui had been strolling leisurely, why did he suddenly walk into an empty alley?
"Is this a trap!?"
"Yes and no." Fujido Kagamishiro smiled, "Your Highness does intend to lure you out, but it is also to prevent you from jumping the wall and attacking innocent civilians on the street."
"Heh, [Nightmare] still cares about the lives of civilians? Don't be kidding!" Bubu roared. In his opinion, the Bunitarians are arrogant and don't care about the safety of the Sakura people at all. To them, they are just a group of pigs to be slaughtered, or mining slaves.
"You don't understand Your Highness at all." Fujido Kagamishiro shook his head. He should have had the same idea as Bubu, right?
But after so long of understanding, Fujido Kagamishiro knew that Yang Hui was a very gentle person. Yang Hui's cruelty would only be used against enemies, and even against enemies he recognized, he would give corresponding kindness and respect. He would try his best to show the best side to those around him, and he would do his best to protect the civilians under his rule.
"The duty of a soldier is to obey orders, but the mission of a soldier is to protect the civilians behind him. When the duty and mission conflict, what will you choose?"
This is the question Yang Hui once asked everyone in the Nightmare Knights. Fujido Jingshiro was very entangled and didn't know how to answer this question. Which one is right, but which one is wrong.
Other Bunitarians, including Jeremiah, Villetta and Joan Luo, chose the vocation and gave up their mission, and then were scolded by Yang Hui.
Fujido Jingshiro asked Yang Hui on the spot, which one would he choose?
Yang Hui answered everyone without hesitation: "I will choose to kill the idiot who made me give up my mission."
Obviously, Yang Hui chose the latter, and told everyone present at the same time: "If there is such a day, I let you abandon your mission, then each of you has the right, even the obligation to kill me, and then stick to your mission."
Yang Hui has never been a formalist. He has always been a man of his word. He can say such words, which means that he can really do it, and he will also give such rights to those present.
"Fudou! You..."
"There's no point in saying more. Your retreat has been blocked. You only have two choices now. Kill me and then challenge His Highness, or be defeated by me." Fujidou Kagashiro didn't intend to keep Yang Hui waiting for long. He pointed his knight sword at Senba, Bubu and Chiba and said.
"..."The three looked at each other, nodded, and then took a firm stance with a firm look, ready to launch an attack.
"Very good, come on!"
"Go!"
...
Yang Hui stood at the exit on the other side of the alley, leaning against the wall and playing a small game on the terminal. Next to him, a young man who was covered in dirt sat on the ground, holding his wrist, looking painful.
"Your Highness." Fujidou Kagashiro, who put on his mask again, walked out of the dark alley.
"It's a bit embarrassing." Yang Hui glanced at Fujidou Kagashiro and said jokingly. Although he was not injured, there were several tears on his clothes, and the collar was soaked with sweat. It seemed that he had fought hard.
"Your skills are not good enough."
"No, on the contrary, it shows that your fellow disciples are not low in level." Yang Hui knows the level of Fujido Kagamishiro. His martial arts skills are definitely one of the top in the world. He can make him embarrassed, not because he is not good enough, but because the other party has real skills.
"Your Highness, you are too kind." The face under the mask curled up. Didn't Yang Hui's words just recognize the strength of Senba, Bobu, Asahina and Chiba? In this way, his idea is easier to realize, "Your Highness, I think they are qualified to fight for it, so I didn't kill them, but captured them."
"That's your trophy, you can decide for yourself." Yang Hui said casually.
"Yes, your highness."
"Well, let's go, take him with you."
"Your Highness, who is he?" Fujido Kagamishiro looked at the boy on the ground with a puzzled look. Judging from his age... About the same age as Yang Hui, right? His red hair is a bit conspicuous, so he wears a hat.
"Him? A little angry young man, my trophy." Yang Hui curled up his mouth.
…
Time goes back to not long after Yang Hui and Fujido Kagami Shiro separated. Yang Hui didn't walk far when he saw a boy about his age with his hands in his pockets walking towards him. His hat brim was pulled down so low that people couldn't see his face clearly.
"Hmm? Interesting." Yang Hui was also stunned at first, because he had only felt the sight of four people before, which means that the person in front of him avoided Yang Hui's perception.
What? A pure passerby?
Are you kidding? A pure passerby would meet Yang Hui by chance in this occasion? And he deliberately lowered the brim of his hat to cover his face, and his hand in his pocket was obviously holding something. He also walked towards Yang Hui intentionally. Could he be a passerby?
Sure enough, the moment Yang Hui passed by him, the boy took out the folding fruit knife in his hand and stabbed Yang Hui in the back.
But Yang Hui's hand popped out like lightning, turned around and grabbed the boy's wrist, twisted it gently, and with a "click~" sound, the wrist was dislocated, accompanied by a scream, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground.
At the same time, Yang Hui also saw the appearance of this person clearly.
"It's him? Interesting, really interesting!" Yang Hui thought as he pushed the dislocated wrist boy aside. From his previous action, it can be seen that he is not a professional killer. He is too amateur and does not pose any threat.
"Being a killer is not such an easy job. First of all, you have to choose a qualified weapon." Yang Hui picked up the folding fruit knife on the ground, squatted in front of the boy and said to him, "This kind of knife stabs people. If you hold it in the right hand, it is easy to cut the thumb and index finger. If you hold it in the wrong hand, it will cut the little finger. I personally recommend a butterfly knife or a spring knife. If it doesn't work, a utility knife is better than this."
"Tsk, don't pretend, [Nightmare], kill me, I won't say anything." The boy turned his head and said to Yang Hui in a tough way, but Yang Hui noticed the fear in his eyes.
"What's your name?" Yang Hui didn't care, but asked his name instead.
"..."
"Don't underestimate the intelligence network in my hands. It's not difficult to check your background. So if you don't say it now, don't regret it later."
"..." The boy's eyes flickered. After a few minutes of entanglement, he still chose to speak, "Hongyue Naoto."
