Chapter 56 Nonsense: Kazuo Sagara
No matter what, with the divine attack, at least Yan Xu's safety has been greatly improved. When he goes to the battlefield again, he can't say he can defeat a hundred people, but three or five ordinary warriors will not be his opponents.
Yan Xu said this modestly. In fact, he himself could not estimate the real power of the Divine Strike. After all, he had never experienced it in actual combat. He just felt that it was very powerful because the originally heavy Mo Dao became as light as a wooden stick picked up when he was a child in the Divine Strike state.
Theoretically, if he was willing to let go and be ruthless, he could really be unrivaled in mowing down enemies in Japan.
However, if he really dared to kill like this, he himself could not guarantee what his character would become.
Anyway, this is all a matter for the future. In order to avoid hurting his body, Yan Xu not only strengthened his physical exercise, but also asked Sen Zhinin to speed up the search for medicinal materials to prepare the Red Blood Pill and Ginseng Pill.
The Red Blood Pill was used to enhance the combat effectiveness of his warriors, and the Ginseng Pill was used by Yan Xu to replenish his body. He remembered that there was ginseng in Japan, and if there were a large quantity, he could bring it back to sell.
Seeing that half of his stay was over, Yan Xu began to prepare for his return. This time, in addition to wood, he also needed some smaller items with higher value. Therefore, he asked Fujiye to clean the seized equipment and keep a few items in good condition, and take the rest to Komizu Town to sell.
In fact, the level of attention the Moroboshi family is receiving now is beyond Yan Xu's expectations. Fujiha has just arrived in Komizu Town, and the Shimazu family, the Sagara family, and the Fukushima family have all come.
The three families had a tacit understanding. The Fukushima family redeemed the equipment with their own marks, and the Shimazu family and the Sagara family bought all the new weapons brought by Fujiha. This made the people of the Fukushima family look unhappy, because even if he wanted to buy, the other party would not sell it.
Now the Fukushima family has basically torn its relations with the three families. Although the three families have not formed an alliance, they have secretly united their front, which makes the Fukushima family feel very difficult.
The Fukushima family is quite powerful, but the problem is that once the three families join forces, it is definitely not something that can be solved with just a few thousand soldiers and horses. They will have to use all their strength, but reality does not allow it. Therefore, they can only be furious but dare not act rashly.
However, both the Shimazu family and the Sagara family overlooked one person, an unstable factor, who was the one who was most unwilling to see the two families join forces. That person was Sagara Kazuo, the eldest son of the Sagara daimyo, who had survived the chaos.
Being useless as a man is a huge blow in that place and that country. Even as the eldest son of Sagara Daimyo and the future daimyo, Sagara Kazuo still has to endure the strange looks of everyone, including the samurai who were originally respectful to him and the servants who were in awe of him, which makes him sad and angry.
But what made him most upset was the change in his father's attitude towards him and his brother. Although it had not been made clear yet, his dethronement was a foregone conclusion, because it was impossible for the retainers and samurai to accept a useless daimyo.
You can rob women, you can favor young women, you can even stay overnight at a warrior's house and have him and his wife take turns having sex in the first and second half of the night, but you cannot be without it.
Having lost his dignity as a man, his father's love, his rights and status, Kazuo Sagara now only wants revenge on everyone, and he will do it at any cost.
But for Kazuo Sagara, who has lost his father's love, has no support from his subordinates, is abandoned by everyone, and even gets his shoes wet when he pees, how to get revenge is a problem, so he can only take an unusual path.
After putting on the new pants, the young Sagara Kazuo looked even more feminine, but his sinister eyes ruined this, making people afraid to approach him, even the servants stayed away, and sometimes Sagara Kazuo even had to wash his pants himself. But Sagara Kazuo endured all these, because he now understood that if others can give you, they can also take it back, so if you lose something, you can only take it back by yourself to have it forever.
After despair, Kazuo Sagara, whose mind was full of filial piety, walked into the family library with an expressionless face and a strange posture. This place had become his last hope.
The library was not accessible to ordinary people, but as long as the Sagara Daimyo did not formally deprive him of his status as heir and force him to become a monk, he could come and go freely here.
The library is quite large and filled with bookshelves. Many of the ancient scrolls are hundreds of years old and even after special treatment, they are still full of the smell of decay.
Although the territories of the Shimazu and Sagara families are not large, they actually have a very long history. Therefore, the book collections in their homes are very rich and old, and there are many secrets that even the Sagara Daimyo is not clear about.
Kazuo Sagara came here because his injuries were very serious. After treatment, although he did not die, his wounds were completely flat, the kind that women don't have to worry about bulges when wearing clothes.
Therefore, conventional methods were simply unable to recover, so he focused his energy on matters related to ghosts and gods, trying to find a way to save himself, but all he got was despair, which made him fall deeper and deeper into the abyss, almost collapsing. Only the fire born of hatred kept him going.
Kazuo Sagara found a black wooden box at the end of a dusty bookshelf. Even though the box felt like ice in his hands, he had no intention of letting go, as if he was grabbing a life-saving straw, because it was his last hope.
"Found it, the legend is indeed true." Kazuo Sagara, who was covered with a lot of dust and cobwebs, smiled beautifully, but when he tried his best to open it, his smile was so desperate.
A few days later, Sarutobi, who looked like a monkey, took an ancient sealed wooden box from Kazuo Sagara's hand with an expressionless face. After carefully examining it, he put it in his arms. Without waiting for Kazuo Sagara to open his mouth to say anything, he jumped onto a tree, moved quickly between the trees, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, not taking Kazuo Sagara seriously at all.
Completely ignored, Kazuo Sagara closed his mouth expressionlessly, but he did not get angry because his heart had already been filled with the rage of revenge and could not tolerate such a small matter. Everyone deserved to die anyway.
Staring at Sarutobi's receding figure with vicious eyes, Kazuo Sagara revealed an evil smile. Since you ignored him, then go die.
"Since you want the secret treasure of the Sagara family, just take it." The slightly shrill voice made Sagara Kazuo himself feel disgusted, but when he thought of the consequences of taking that thing, he couldn't help but sneer.
The Sagara family knew nothing about this matter, because the secret treasure was just a legend in the family and no one took it seriously. If Kazuo Sagara had not been eager to find a way to restore it and had gone through his own collection of books, he probably would not have known about it.
However, he did not expect that the Fukushima family would attach so much importance to it just by trying to contact him. It seems that the family legend may be more than just a legend.
Yan Xu was not aware of this. In fact, even the Daimyo Sagara did not know that his eldest son had done such a filial thing. At this moment, all the powerful forces were busy preparing for war, because everyone knew that the war would start in the early spring of next year.
