"He has already been killed by someone else. The ruler of Musashi is not a human, but a demon."

"He fools his subjects, abuses his power, controls the authority that belongs to humans, and raises humans like animals. When he is hungry, he takes some food. Anyway, there are tens of thousands of households in Musashi. Even if he eats as much as he wants, he won't be able to eat everything in a short time."

"He has been spoiled and only likes to eat young girls. His taste is extremely picky."

"I wanted to kill him, but I didn't have the strength. Although I am good at swordsmanship, it has only been a short time since I awakened my swordsmanship. The quality of my sword energy is not enough to tear open the rift between the underworld and the living world. When this spider encountered danger, it hid in the crack of the underworld. The effect of the sword slashing it was the same as what you just did."

The voice of the Lord of a Hundred Demons sounded faintly, with a nostalgic tone.

".So you won't give me a guide?"

"You took all my equipment. If the Hundred Demons Scroll was still there, I wouldn't need to use the Dragon Bird. I could just use the Evil Slash and I'd make sure he was killed."

Uesugi Kiyoshi was chatting calmly and didn't take the big spider seriously.

"What nonsense are you talking about? At this time, Chai is just a puppy. Where do you get the Evil Slash to use?"

"I was in much the same situation as you are now."

"I have nowhere to display my strength. I am somewhat limited in how I deal with this special monster."

The Lord of a Hundred Demons denied Uesugi Kiyoshi's request and said a few more words lightly.

He turned around and hugged Xing, leaped forward, and moved sideways several meters, avoiding the stab of the ghost-faced spider's sharp legs. Uesugi Qing clicked his tongue, showing some impatience.

This kind of enemy that can be defeated but not hit is the most annoying.

"So, you still want to test me and make me break through? Is it necessary?"

The last question word has not been finished yet.

Uesugi Kiyoshi knew he was wrong.

Testing oneself is totally unnecessary, the Lord of a Hundred Ghosts would not do such a useless thing.

A cold wind howled from nowhere, and Uesugi Kiyo suddenly felt cold all over.

A moment later, he suddenly realized.

It was not the wind that made him feel cold, but the "sword light" that made him feel cold.

Behind the ghost-faced spider, a red sword light came galloping, splitting the fragile window frame and shattering the pillars of the castle tower. The remaining power, with a red glow as hot as flames, smashed heavily on the ghost-faced spider.

With a scream of "Squeak", the body made up of souls began to burn violently. The human head twisted and roared miserably, but he was powerless and gradually turned into ashes.

A sword shadow came from nowhere and instantly killed the troublesome ghost-faced spider.

The flames died down and footsteps were heard.

Uesugi Kiyoshi looked at it intently, raised his eyebrows, and murmured in surprise: ".Maki?"

A young girl was coming towards him. She was wearing a somewhat tattered armored battle robe. The seemingly heavy armor did not slow her pace at all. She had a long ponytail with her hair tied up and draped behind her. Her eyes were clear red, and she had long horns on her head like those of a ghost. On her waist hung two long and narrow swords, and in her hand she held a katana that was burning with flames.

That delicate and pretty face is exactly the same as that of Uesugi Kiyoshi's cheap apprentice, Toufumi Maki.

The girl walked step by step over the blood and ashes and stood in front of Uesugi Kiyoshi.

Then, on the cold face covered with frost and snow, a slight arc appeared.

She seemed to be smiling, but her smile was very restrained. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't tell.

However, this smile is like flowers blooming in the cold winter, giving people a beauty with great contrast.

"Found. You."

She said so, with a rare look of relief in her eyes.

"Maki. No, no, you are. Achi?"

The fire armor and the red sword, the sword energy is like the wind, sharp and violent.

Such a girl was mentioned in that diary.

The trigger for the expulsion of the Lord of the Hundred Demons from Kyoto, a demon god who is good at using swords.

It seems that the feelings that the Lord of a Hundred Demons had shown were not in vain.

For Achi, he fought to the death with Minamoto no Raikou, and now, Achi followed him to Musashi, which is thousands of miles away from Kyoto.

He immediately killed the ghost spider that he found a little tricky.

What swords and knives cannot cut, can be destroyed with a wave of the hand under the stimulation of such strong demonic energy.

Uesugi Kiyoshi looked at Achi deeply, memorized the face that was exactly the same as Toufu Maki's in his heart, and sighed softly.

"I see. So, Maki is the Demon Sword Princess?"

The next moment, the whole world froze.

People, objects, and scenery all turned white and gray.

Everything stopped moving, as if time had stood still forever.

Uesugi Kiyoshi turned around as if he had sensed something and saw himself wearing a white robe.

He joked, "So, all the girls around me are thanks to you. Why do you want me to pay back the romantic debt you owe me?"

"But, in terms of the quality of the opposite sex, you're off to a great start."

Uesugi Kiyoshi refers to "Apricot" and "Achi".

The Lord of a Hundred Demons chuckled.

"I see you're enjoying it. Besides, if we talk about romantic debts, I haven't mentioned the biggest one yet."

"I am you, if you blame me, you are blaming yourself, so stop talking nonsense like that."

"This is the rise of the Lord of the Hundred Demons."

"Achi came to help me. She was ridiculously strong and helped me clear out most of the monsters causing chaos in Musashi. The people lived in peace."

"At the same time, because of my military strength and the status of the Minamoto clan, and the death of their former master, the powerful men of Musashi Province submitted to me, even if it was just for show."

"From this day on."

"I am no longer a nobleman in Kyoto."

"I am the head of the Musashi Genji clan and the governor of Musashi Province!"

"At the same time, he is also the master served by tens of thousands of people!"

Chapter 258: The Wise King

The person in white robe in front of him waved his hand slightly, and the surrounding scenery quickly turned into bubbles, dissipated, and reorganized.

When chaos was restored to order, the scenery before our eyes had changed.

The same city, but the scene is very different.

Looking out from the top floor of the castle tower, the village protects the "town", the town surrounds the "castle", and soldiers are stationed in the castle to guard the "castle".

This is also the basic structure of ancient Japanese cities, which is somewhat different from that of China.

Although the city was still populated, it revealed a sense of decadence. The faces of the civilians coming and going had more or less sorrow and sadness. The soldiers were domineering and the warriors were arrogant, which perfectly embodied the word "exploitation".

But now, things are very different.

Vitality and joy spread across every face. The number of patrolling foot soldiers had obviously decreased, but they were much more serious. The occasional samurai who came and went walked in a hurry, with an inexplicable sense of mission on their faces.

All in all, it is a scene full of vitality and striving for progress.

The leader of a hundred demons opened his arms, with unconcealable pride in his eyes.

"Well, it's a little ridiculous to claim to be a king in this tiny country, but if you evaluate my actions, I can definitely be called a "wise king"."

"It only took me three years to go from the demon hunting grounds to Edo Castle!"

Like Uesugi Kiyoshi's eyebrows, he discovered the bright spots.

"Hey, I told you I'm good at history, right? This place isn't called Edo Castle now."

The Lord of a Hundred Demons turned around and shook his head slowly.

"Yes, this is Edo hundreds of years later, Tokyo thousands of years later, but I renamed it Edo Castle."

"It's just that after I died, all traces of me in this world were almost erased, so this name was only mentioned hundreds of years later."

"They are afraid of me. They are so afraid of me that they are afraid that I will jump out from that corner of this world again and turn the world upside down!"

As he said this, the Lord of a Hundred Demons raised the corners of his mouth slightly, outlining a disdainful smile. A flash of cold light in his ink-deep eyes made Uesugi Kiyoshi's heart jump.

Although saying this about "myself" may sound a bit narcissistic, the demeanor and temperament of the person in front of me really gives me the feeling that he can make clouds and rain with a flip of his hand. On this chessboard of heaven and earth, he doesn't look like a chess piece, but like a chess player.

Without waiting for Uesugi Kiyoshi to respond, the Lord of a Hundred Demons changed the subject.

"Three years, not too long, not too short."

"After all, I come from the modern era, and my knowledge cannot be compared with those of the ancients. In addition, Japan was not a developed place in ancient times."

"Although my major is not quite suitable, I am an excellent student after all. I have read a lot of miscellaneous books and used all the methods that can be used."

"Reform farming tools, promote animal power, popularize fertilizers, and promote agriculture."

"Cut the water off the back to prevent heavy rain during the flood season, rebuild the inner city castle, and make the entire city impregnable."

"Implement the sword hunting strategy, separate the farmers and soldiers, dismiss those old soldiers, reduce their numbers, completely separate the farmers and soldiers, and use agriculture to support the soldiers. Although there are few people, the combat power of my foot soldiers is not weaker than those elite soldiers of the Minamoto clan."

"I also promoted marriage and encouraged childbirth. I tried to apply all the statecraft strategies I had seen in history textbooks. I am not a liberal arts student, otherwise the results would be better than they are now."

"Three years later, Musashi became prosperous."

"At first, those powerful people who occupied the land were intimidated by the name of my Minamoto clan and the military force that killed the previous lord. They did not dare to object to my decision. When the soldiers I raised were formed, they could only accept it with a pinch of their noses."

"That Fuma just now was pretty good at swordsmanship. He saw the flags on my city walls changing and came to me. I put aside our past grudges and used him. I even formed a scout ninja team."

"For a time, among the eight kingdoms in Kanto, Musashi was the most powerful."

After passionately recounting his great achievements, the Lord of a Hundred Demons' eyes turned gloomy.

"Do you really understand what kind of era this is?"

"Do you think that the worst thing that can happen is that the ruler of a country is a monster?"

"no"

"At that time, most of the country's population lived around cities and towns, but if you farmed here, you had to pay taxes."
