Treasured Sword

  Usuyama Koji began to tell his story, and those who could be here were not outsiders. Guo Yao, Chicken Leg, Wen Tianhe, and Nalan Qing all sat aside to listen, while Nalan Yan was sent by her brother to the inner room to surf the internet - some things are better left unknown.

  It turned out that Hatoyama Kunio was from a declined branch of the Hatoyama family, with a poor family background. They had no direct relationship with the now-prominent Hatoyama family in Japan and were not treated differently because they were also part of the Hatoyama family. Hatoyama Kunio was often bullied when he was young, and after his parents passed away one after another, he dropped out of school to work. Unexpectedly, he somehow managed to cultivate his aura later on.

  In an accidental incident, he showed off his amazing skills and was spotted by the Hirota family, who hired him as a bodyguard and had various coaches train him rigorously. After all, a qualified bodyguard is not just about being able to fight! It was also during that time that he was indoctrinated with various racial superiority theories and developed an extremely deep prejudice against China and the Chinese people.

  Attacking Guo Yi was Kusatsu's first mission after coming to China, and it was his bad luck that what should have been an easy task was foiled by Guo Yi and Wen Tianhe joining forces. Later, Guo Yi told him that Wang Lingling and her son had been kidnapped, but he didn't believe it and went to find the representative of the Hirota family in Yangcheng, Tsuchida. Tsuchida naturally refused to admit it and instead accused Guo Yi of framing them. Not knowing who to trust, Kusatsu spent a sleepless night going to Hu Tou Shan to investigate for himself. As a result, he was ambushed by people hiding there and shot mercilessly. If he hadn't coincidentally met Ji Tui at the foot of the mountain, who used his newly learned medical skills to stop his bleeding and bandage him, he probably wouldn't have made it upstairs. And he also wouldn't have seen Fujita Takeshi.

  It turns out that Tōjō Takashi was still his instructor, who had given him a crash course for a while, but he didn't expect the proud Tōjō to become an accomplice of the Hirota family.

  Now that he understood the truth, Kusuyama couldn't go back. He went to the hospital to treat his wound and then came here because except for this place, he didn't know where else to go. Although his contact with Guo Yao was brief, based on intuition, Guo Yao wouldn't drive him away.

  After listening to Kosuke Yuzuki's story, Guo Yi returned to the bedroom. He pulled out a short knife from his waist. This short knife was something he had taken from Toshiyuki Fujita's body. At that time, it looked very cool when inserted into his waist, so he took it down and brought it with him. Although he changed clothes at Long Suyu's house, the knife remained by his side.

  The total length of this knife, including the handle, is only 40 cm. The handle and scabbard are made of hard yang wood, which has been carved and inlaid on top. The overall shape is that of a towering ancient tree, with leaves, flowers, bees, butterflies, and even mantises on top. These shapes were created using different materials for each one, most of which can still be identified today, including ivory, red shell, green shell, and agate. The handle and scabbard are magnificent and elegant, while the blade is extremely rustic. Whether it's the lines or the angles, everything is perfectly crafted, and the edge is razor-sharp. When you insert the knife into its scabbard, you'll find that the handle and scabbard blend seamlessly together, including a small, intricately carved wooden handle on top of the scabbard - if you don't look closely, you might not even notice it's there.

  This knife is absolutely a work of art, Guo Yi is a vulgar person, he doesn't care about what's artistic or not, he thinks that since this Fujita Takeshi is a high-ranking devil, the knife he uses must have some background, if it's sold, it will definitely be worth a lot of money. He paid a heavy price for this case, so he should at least get back some cost.

  He walked out of the room with a knife, and Kiyoyama Hiroji's eyes widened at once. Guo Yao thought there was hope, maybe he could get 10,000 or 80,000 yuan, which would be enough to compensate for his mental loss. Although he didn't care about tens of thousands of yuan now, even a mosquito is meat, isn't it?

  "Do you recognize this knife?"

  "Know, recognize!"

  Hatoyama Kunio stuttered a bit, then calmed down and continued:

  "This sword is called Inlaid Baibao Sword, made by the famous swordsmith Chang Chuanqing in the 16th century. Such a sword is rarely passed down through generations, and I never expected to see it here!"

  Kuo Yi was taken aback and asked:

  "So you're saying this is your first time seeing this sword, then how did you recognize it?"

  Hatoyama Kunio nodded and said:

  "My ancestors were also once prominent, and in our family there is a famous sword manual. Although I have never seen this sword before, I had seen it in the manual."

  Guo Yi was speechless, this guy was indeed searching for a horse by looking at a picture. Can the paintings you've seen be compared to real objects? Now counterfeit goods are as common as cow hair. Jiushan seemed to understand Guo Yi's meaning and smiled:

  "I may not have seen a real sword before, but I can be certain that this one is genuine. Look at the twisted hamon on the blade, the curved hada, and the brilliant gold habaki and machi, aren't they clear? But when you run your hand over them, the blade feels like a mirror surface. If this were a fake, the person who made it would have to be a master among masters! However, that's impossible, because some of the polishing techniques used here have already been lost. Look at these patterns - they can't be replicated nowadays."

  Kusunoki Kōji gazed at the sword with an infatuated look, his eyes unable to conceal his enchantment. Guo Ye, on the other hand, was completely bewildered - what's a "gejin"? What's a "jīn jīn"? However, one thing he did understand: this sword is a treasure!

  Kuo Yeh's question that ruined the scenery:

  "If this knife were to be sold, how much would it sell for?"

  Hatoyama Kunio's eyes widened suddenly and he exclaimed loudly:

  "What, you want to sell her? Why sell? This is a priceless treasure, an exquisite work of art. Talking about money is simply an insult to her... However, if you really want to sell, it's worth at least one million."

  Don't be ridiculous, what's the point of keeping it if you're not going to sell it? I've heard that Japanese short swords are kept for seppuku. Of course, I wouldn't use it myself. Guo asked nervously:

  "Are you talking about yen?"

  "What? Yen? How can it be yen, I said dollars!"

  Usually calm Kusuyama was a bit angry, this is simply an insult to this shocking masterpiece.

  Wow, it's finally out, I didn't expect that the handsome and arrogant-looking Tōda Takeshi would be a money-losing child. Guo Ye smiled and took over the knife with a chuckle. Kuzuyama Hiroji looked at the knife being taken away from his hand with a covetous gaze, as if he wanted to snatch it back in one grab.

  This kid is the same, if he says this knife is worth three walnuts and two dates, Guo Yi might just give it to him!

  Guo Yixin was in high spirits and looked at Jiushan saying:

  "How's your injury?"

  Hatoyama sighed and said:

  "It's healed now, but even if it's better, my arm is still useless!"

  Guo Yi patted his shoulder and said:

  "With an older brother like you, I won't be bullied."

  Guo Yi placed his arm on the injured part of Jiushan, slowly inputting white energy. With a soft crackling sound, Jiushan's injuries were healed! Jiushan was stunned, he tore off the bandage and smashed the plaster cast, moved around, and found that he had completely recovered. He exclaimed in surprise:

  "How did you do it? It's so amazing!"

  Usuyama Kōji stood up and bowed deeply to Guo Yao, his eyes slightly red as he said:

  "Thank you, I blindly believed in rumors and came to assassinate you. Not only did you not punish me by law, but you also treated me with courtesy and even let me go. Now, you've also healed my hand. If it weren't for you, I would have become a useless person! It seems that I had many misconceptions about China and about you in the past. Please forgive me."

  Hatoyama bowed deeply again after he finished speaking.

  Guo Yixin thought, after all, you're young, thinking I'd treat you with courtesy, but it's just to get you to reveal your accomplices, and letting you go is just to make you a Jiang Gan, alas, there are actually people dumber than myself, what a rare find!

  Kuo Yeh said with a heavy heart:

  "Of course, there are some scoundrels among the Chinese, but there are also good people among you Japanese. We can't vilify a whole nation because of individual phenomena. As I said to you before, people like you with integrity are rare!"

  "You're right, Mr. Guo. I have an impolite request to make, I wonder..."

  "You said."

  "I'm currently without a fixed abode, and coincidentally, your clinic is about to open. I wonder if I could..."

  "What can you do?"

  "This, I'm only good at fighting, but I can learn, I can cook, clean, and protect the clinic."

  Kuo Yeh smiled wryly, "This is a clinic? I think opening an assassination company would be more suitable. Look at the people you've hired, they can only kill, nothing else."

  At this time, Nalan Qing walked over, looking a bit embarrassed, and said:

  "Boss, look, his wounds have all healed, and mine...?"
