Chapter 626 Kyoto Parliament
Sakura Country, Kyoto.
At this moment, the heads of major organizations gathered in Zuikakuen, Kyoto, and were holding an urgent meeting.
Zuikakuen is a top-notch antique garden in Kyoto.
The three-meter-high black lacquered Tang door opened, and the courtyard was an ancient world isolated from the hustle and bustle of the world.
The ground is paved with basalt cut into tortoise-shell patterns, which contrasts harmoniously with the lush greenery around it.
At the entrance inside the gate stands a bronze hand-water bowl from the Kamakura period, with two gold-foil maple leaves floating on the water. Waiters stand quietly on both sides holding silver-handled bamboo ladles.
Facing you stands a bronze screen with three-leaf sunflower pattern bestowed by Tokugawa Ieyasu, and the remaining power of the Warring States overlord flows through the mottled patina.
After walking around the screen, the view suddenly opens up, and the first thing that comes into view is an irregularly shaped pond. The water in the pond is clear and the fish are swimming leisurely in the water.
Willows sway beside the pond, and their slender branches gently brush the water surface, creating ripples.
Walking along the cobblestone path, the winding path adds a sense of layering and interest to the space.
On both sides of the path, stone lanterns are arranged in an orderly manner. The stone lanterns are simple and elegant in shape, and the lampshades are carved with exquisite patterns. When they are lit at night, they create a mysterious and peaceful atmosphere.
The deepest "Mysterious Garden" is only open to special guests. A wooden plaque with the words "Harmony, Respect, Purity and Tranquility" written by Emperor Go-Mizunoo is hung on the bamboo fence at the entrance.
This courtyard has witnessed the tea parties of Warring States heroes, the secret talks of the Meiji Restoration, and the Showa Imperial Conference. Every stone carries the weight of the history of the Land of Sakura.
When dusk falls, 360 stone lanterns are lit at the same time, the gold-foil tiles reflect the waning moon, and the white sand courtyard looks like a pouring galaxy, hiding the undercurrent of power game in the eternal aesthetic order.
At this moment, in the "Mysterious Courtyard", a group of people in high positions were sitting on the ground, discussing something seriously.
"The speed at which the Huahai Society has risen has seriously affected us. We have to get rid of Jiang Ning!" said Okita Renji, the president of the Kyoei Society. "Before, I was busy with my business in North America and underestimated Jiang Ning. As a result, my two sons were severely injured by Jiang Ning. My Kyoei Society's branch in China was also swallowed up by Jiang Ning. Now, it's time to take revenge."
"That's right, Jiang Ning has seriously affected our interests!" said the head of Jiuju, Kameda Kikuei. "We were ordered by the Great Emperor to plant a Feng Shui wheel in China to steal China's national destiny. However, our careful planning over the years was destroyed by Jiang Ning just when we were about to make a big move."
Kameda Kikuei was talking about Jiangning occupying the territories of the Jiuju in Chuzhou.
"Also, in several clashes with Jiang Ning, we lost more than a dozen low-level Onmyoji and several Shikigami. This has never happened in the nearly fifty years of Jiujiu's history."
"Master, a senior executive of Jiujiu also fell out with us because of Jiang Ning." The subordinate reminded.
"That Ono Xiaoxiaozi was originally a high-level Yin-Yang master of our Jiujiu. She was extremely talented and proficient in the art of illusion. But she was instigated by Jiang Ning to rebel." Kameda Kikuei said: "We Jiujiu have long been irreconcilable with Jiang Ning!"
"The reason why I called everyone here today to discuss this matter is because the rise of the Huahai Society is too rapid. We must unite as one and share the same hatred for the enemy in order to easily crush it!"
After hearing this, everyone looked a little solemn.
Jiuju, this mysterious and arrogant force, in the past, could handle almost anything on its own.
However, to deal with Jiang Ning and Huahai Society, he called everyone together for a meeting.
This shows that the enemy this time is unprecedentedly powerful.
As everyone knows, Bushido accepted a mission a week ago.
Destroyed the four branches of China's Bi'an Jade Group within the territory of Sakura.
At first the mission went smoothly.
Bushido simply sent out twenty or thirty minions and took over the three branches in Kyoto, Nagoya and Osaka.
However, when we reached the Hokkaido branch, we encountered unprecedented challenges.
"More than a hundred of our disciples were defeated across the board, and less than thirty of them returned." Speaking of this, the head of the Bushido Gym Jiro Ono was very angry.
It was this incident that became the fuse that brought everyone together to hold a special action meeting.
"We have only heard some fragmentary information. What exactly happened?" asked Yanagishita Michi, president of the Ninja Association.
"Our people encountered resistance from the Huahai Society members and suffered heavy losses!" said Ono Jiro, the head of the Bushido Gym. "What's even more infuriating is that the traitor actually joined the Huahai Society!"
"Which traitor?" everyone was surprised.
"The direct disciple of the sword saint Miyamoto Musashi, Duan Shuiliu!" said Jiro Ono.
"Asshole!"
Some people started to curse.
"We are fellow Sakura people, but we colluded with the Chinese to deal with our compatriots. This is an unforgivable crime!" said Kameda Kikuei, the head of the Jiuju Sect, coldly.
"Did Duan Shuiliu lead the members of Huahai Society to defeat your 100-man group?" Liu Xiadao asked, "How many people are there?"
"Seven! Maybe eight!" Ono Jiro explained with a red face: "But they have guns!"
After hearing this, everyone's expressions became even more solemn.
Seven or eight people easily defeated hundreds of Bushido disciples?
Even if you have a gun, it will take time to shoot!
You know, the disciples of Bushido are all samurai who are proficient in Taoism.
Even if they gave the other side one or two opportunities to take advantage, with a hundred people, the human wave tactics alone would overwhelm the other side.
"The Huahai Society really has something!" exclaimed a masked woman in black.
The woman was sent by the KKK to sit in on the meeting.
Because the Co-Prosperity Society and the KKK have cooperated. If the KKK is compared to a person, then the KKK is the big brother, and the Co-Prosperity Society is a younger brother and minion of the KKK.
Their cooperation is very simple. When the Co-Prosperity Society can't handle some things, it will spend money to hire the KKK for help.
After the KKK took the money, they would naturally do the work. After the two sides cooperated many times, they gradually built up trust.
This time, in order to deal with Jiang Ning, the Co-Prosperity Society also planned to ask the KKK to come forward to be on the safe side. Therefore, the KKK sent a master to listen in advance to see if it was necessary for them to take action personally.
"It seems like you guys can't handle the Huahai Society right now!" The masked woman in black made a sharp judgment.
But this angered others present.
"We just underestimated Jiang Ning before."
"As long as we take him seriously, Jiang Ning will be no better than an ant."
The woman in black asked coldly, "So, may I ask, now, how have you decided to deal with Jiang Ning? Do you have a practical and reliable plan?"
This statement hit the nail on the head, leaving everyone speechless.
"How many people will each of you send? Is there any division of labor?" the woman in black asked coldly again.
Indeed, after chatting here for a long time, the major forces have not come up with a specific battle plan.
Because everyone present knows that Jiang Ning is not easy to mess with now.
Therefore, they don't want to put in too much effort, as that might deplete their own strength.
Therefore, everyone had their own ulterior motives in this meeting and kept talking about empty words.
At this moment, everyone looked at each other, frowning and saying nothing.
The situation became awkward.
"I have a plan!" said the woman in black, "If you think it's feasible, just follow my instructions!"
