The information provided by Soga Heibei was very important and inspired Kira Yoshitoki a lot. The next day, he ordered Hattori Baochang to send people to Sakai Town to collect information about Wang Dan, a Ming Dynasty businessman from Kyushu. In February, Kyoto was peaceful. The shogunate and the imperial court received a large amount of donations and taxes, and began to work on plans to renovate Kyoto. The major temples were also busy competing for the rewards. Kira Yoshitoki was also busy practicing archery and archery practice. It's better to do it sooner rather than later, as practicing too early will cause spinal deformity. At this age, he can only practice basic archery from a standing position. He can shoot twenty arrows at a standard distance of fifteen. He is not allowed to continue with two pots of arrows a day. After a winter of fermentation, the news about Tsukahara Buden Kamiro has recently reached its climax. The Kashima swordsman seems to be leading a tour group, leading a team of hundreds of people to cross tense national borders, even in Kanto. The Astronomical Rebellion that broke out early in the morning would not affect the pace of this sword master. He left Hitachi and headed west via Tokaido, crossed Mikawa and Owari, went north to Mino, entered Kinki via Higashiyama Road, and arrived at Omi Kannonji Castle in early March. , received a grand reception by Rokkaku Yoshixian. After spending one day as a guest at Rokkaku's house, he set off to continue eastward. When everyone thought that the old sword master would go straight to Kyoto, he suddenly went north to Sakamoto Castle via Lake Biwa. At that time, Kira Yoshitoki was holding a wooden sword and Yamaoka Tokich¨. During the sparring session, I saw an old man with white beard and hair and a strong body rushing in silently, and I was shocked when I saw a group of hundreds of people, all with swords on their waists and hips. "Who is that?" Yamaoka Shichang pointed at the old man with his wooden sword. The old man ignored Yamamoto Tokiyuki at all, and shouted to Yamamoto Tokiyuki in the distance: "Kansuke!" "Shihan!" Yamamoto Tokiyuki dropped his wooden sword and walked over quickly, saluting respectfully: "After twenty years, Shihan! Your body is still strong!" The old man's white beard curled up and down, and Yamamoto Shiyuki suddenly groaned: "How did you become like this? I remember that your legs were not lame before, and your fingers were not broken. You've been in battle a lot in the past few years, right?" "It's a long story to say" Yamamoto Tokiyuki smiled bitterly and said, "A few years ago, I finally succeeded in becoming an official, and now I am a retainer of the Kira family." " Well, I¡¯ve heard about it too, and you¡¯ve become a master of the art of war? Are you still good at wielding the sword in your current state?¡± The old man seemed to doubt Yamamoto Tokiyuki¡¯s swordsmanship, and the latter was not angry and said with a faint smile: ¡°It¡¯s not the art of war. The old man sighed: "Huh? Are you already a master of military strategy? It's a pity that you have such talent. I have passed on the name of Sword Master to you a long time ago, what a pity!¡± Kira Yoshitsune once heard him say that he was only in his twenties when he left home and wandered around. After he failed to seek employment in Kyoto, he happened to meet him on the road. Tsukahara Fuden, who was training abroad for the second time, was a swordsman in his prime at that time and his reputation was not as great as it is today. He was extremely skilled in killing swordsmanship with one hand, and Yamamoto Kansuke was also a master of Kyo-ryu swordsmanship. After the two met, they formed a bond. In a half-teacher, half-friend friendship, Yamamoto Kansuke followed Tsukahara B¨den around the Western Kingdom and Kyushu for more than three years, and finally broke up with Tsukahara B¨den when he returned. "Let's not talk about it anymore. I would like to introduce you to the governor of the Kira family. This is the governor of the Kira family, His Highness Mr. Kira." "Takahara Tsukahara!" The old man nodded in greeting. "Yoshitoki Kira!" The old man and the young man just introduced each other in such a simple way. Kira Yoshitoki organized a conversation and said: "I, Yoshitoki, have heard about the reputation of Kashima Sword Master for a long time, and I am lucky enough to meet him today" "Your Highness Sakamoto! Is it right to call you that? It seems that you are also practicing swordsmanship?" Tsukahara Buden walked up to him and patted his body. He silently touched his arms for a while, then pressed his cervical vertebrae and various joints of his body. Finally, he walked around in a circle and shook his head and said, "Your Highness Sakamoto's swordsmanship talent is average. If you continue to practice like this, you can only practice some self-defense swordsmanship, but it is also a good thing for a famous martial artist like His Highness Sakamoto. " "Uh Is there no hope for my swordsmanship?" I didn't expect to get this answer after waiting for a long time. , Kira Yoshitomo was not only disappointed but disappointed. Tsukahara Buden seemed not to notice everyone's disappointed expressions, and continued: "With His Highness Sakamoto's talent, it is not always necessary to seek the pinnacle in the art of war. For example, the art of arching and horsemanship, and the art of spearmanship are more suitable for His Highness Sakamoto than the Art of War. From what I can see, His Highness Sakamoto is much stronger than his peers, and his height, long arms, and solid feet are a good talent for practicing spear skills!" "Isn't it a good choice for me to practice spear skills?" "I just took a few shots. His Majesty Sakamoto was not allowed to sway for even a moment, which is perfect for practicing excellent spear skills. My new rank is drawn from the two main sources of the Tenjin Shinkaori Shinto-ryu and the Kashima Shinto-ryu. Among them, the ancient method has the best spear skills. My disciple Mitsuhide Just stay in Sakamoto and teach me spear skills." Tsukahara Buden nodded to him and called over.?A samurai in his mid-twenties. "Yunlinin Mitsuhide pays homage to His Highness Sakamoto!" "Oh! Yunlinin is exempt from the ceremony." This person is also called Mitsuhide, and I don't know what the difference is with a certain gold orange head. Tsukahara Fuden talked about some old things with Yamamoto again. , while the old sword master was reminiscing with old friends, hundreds of disciples remained silent and silent. This self-restraint and courage also aroused the respect of the samurai in Mikawa. Just when Tsukahara Fuden was about to stand up and say goodbye, Nakajo Tokihide hurriedly barged in: "Tsukahara-don! Please wait a moment!" Yamamoto Tokiyuki patted his head and said with some embarrassment: "Oh! Hahaha I almost forgot. Mentioned to Shihan, this is an important minister of the Kira family, Nakajo Dewa Shouden, a direct descendant of the Nakajo ryu. The swordsmanship of this Chujo ryu of the Deha den is extremely exquisite. Based on what I have observed for many days, his swordsmanship talent is even better than mine. , I had promised to introduce him to Shihan on my behalf, but I forgot about it when I saw Shihan just now!" "Huh? A high ranking member of Chujo-ryu?" Tsukahara Fuden squinted his eyes and looked at Chujo Tokihide, and then When he walked to Kiragi, he grabbed the wooden sword and threw it to Chujo Tokihide. He only heard him say to his disciples: "The person opposite is the successor of Chujo style. Which of you will try it?" "I am willing to go! "I'll do it!" "It should be me!" A group of disciples shouted and raised their hands. At this time, a young warrior about twenty years old came out of the crowd and shouted: "Don't fight. I'll do it!" Seeing the person coming out, Tsukahara Fuden also smiled, "Haha This is the apprentice I took in ten years ago, named Shioka Kazuha. He is also a talented person with outstanding talents. It would be nice for the two geniuses to try it out!" "Taking the wooden sword handed over by Yamaoka Shichou, Shioka Kazuha waved it casually a few times and then announced his name, "Shioka Kazuha, please give me your advice!" "Zhong. Tokihide Tokijo, please give me some advice! "The main schools of military art in medieval Japan are Nen-ryu, Katori Shinto-ryu, and Yin-ryu. These three major schools all started in the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the Muromachi middle period, and have a history of hundreds of years. These three major schools are limited to different areas of activity and rarely have close contact. At the same time, Nakajo-ryu is a major school with its own unique skills. This school was later called Itto-ryu. The source of its name is famous Itto-ryu such as Tomita-ryu and Toda-ryu of Toda Ittosai. And got its name. The two sides faced off for a moment. Shioka Kazuha made a slight mistake and suddenly drew his sword and stabbed. Almost in the blink of an eye, he crossed the distance of several meters. The wooden sword that looked like a toy in Zenjiro's hand made a "wuwu" sound when it was danced. Just as he was about to cut Nakajo Tokihide's neck, Nakajo Tokihide calmly stepped forward and raised the sword to his head. This direction was exactly blocking the path of the opponent's menacing attack. "Pa!" There was a soft sound, and the carpenters from both sides collided. It was obvious that Shioka Kazuha's killing blow was blocked. Kira Yoshi said with some fear: "Hey! That full-force blow just now, if it hit the person on the neck, he would be dead, right? There is no deep hatred, is it necessary to hit him so violently?" Yamaoka Tokich¨ opened his mouth wide, stunned. After waiting for a long time, he said: "How did His Highness Tokihide block that blow? I really don't understand!" "Who knows, there must be some unknown skills, why don't Zenjiro try it?" "No, no, I'm here. Forget it!" Yamaoka Shichang shook his head quickly. "Pah, pah, pah!" The sound of the wooden swords hitting each other kept coming, and with every impact, you could see the specially weighted hardwood swords trembling from the impact. However, the postures of both sides' swords did not change at all. Nakajo-ryu was known for his ferocious attacks. As for its reputation, Shinto-ryu is the famous Ichi no Tachi, which emphasizes killing with one strike. The trial between the two sides is completely a tough battle with real swords and guns. No one can give in or voluntarily admit defeat. ¡ª¡ª PS: The old swordmaster Kashima and his disciples said that they must hand over the tickets, otherwise they will stop you from performing a hundred real-person trials.
