But Qi Zuoguo strode out of the house with a long knife in his hand. He glanced at Xiao Yunfan and said, "Brother Xiao, please take care of your father. I'll meet this female Japanese pirate." Sakurako Fujita said coldly, "You still Not qualified." Qi Zuoguo said, "You'll know after trying it." As he said that, he held the handle of the knife with his left hand, hiding the blade behind his back, and took a step forward.
Sakurako Fujita thought that the person in front of her was the son of Qi Jiguang, and his martial arts skills were passed down from his father. Without thinking about it at the moment, she also held the handle of the knife with her left hand, making the blade horizontal.
Qi Jiguang said angrily: "Guo'er, stand down, she is going to challenge her father." Qi Zuoguo turned around and said: "Dad, we are father and son. Since this Japanese girl has come to our door, the child cannot embarrass our Qi family. "
Seeing that Qi Zuoguo had made up his mind, Xiao Yunfan stretched out his hand to sweep the acupoints on Qi Jiguang's chest and said, "Uncle Shi, I'm sorry. You can just sit back and relax. It's not that easy for this Fusang girl to show off her power in the land of the Ming Dynasty." Then he lowered his voice. He said, "Don't worry, Uncle Shi, I will be there to take care of Brother Shi." Qi Jiguang said no more and looked at Sakurako Fujita.
Qi Zuoguo shouted: "Come in!" The opponent held the handle of the knife with both hands and pointed the tip of the knife to the ground. Qi Zuoguo paid close attention to the opponent's elbow. The opponent suddenly took action with extremely swiftness, and with a clang, the two weapons clashed. The sword technique used by Fujita Sakurako is Fuso's Iai drawing sword technique. This sword technique emphasizes killing with one strike and killing the enemy as quickly as possible.
Obviously her move didn't work. The Qi family's sword technique used by Qi Zuoguo was rigorous and strict, and it was the nemesis of the other party's sword technique. When starting the stance, hide the sword at your side and use the yin and yang strength of your wrist to move the sword. The sword will resist the opponent's fierce attack horizontally. Then the opponent's sword force will draw a semicircle and then dissipate the force, and then switch from defense to offense.
The "Iai-ryu" used by Sakurako Fujita is just a new school that evolved from the hidden (yin) style. The hidden (yin) style was created by the master of Fuso swordsmanship, Aizhou Yixiangsai (あいしゅう いかさい), based on the "Sarutobi no Jutsu", and it is unpredictable. It is the basis of Fuso's various swordsmanship schools in the future.
(Note: Japanese swordsmanship often uses knives. In fact, the so-called sword in Japan includes knives. Swords are not clearly divided like in Chinese culture. Japanese swords evolved from swords and retained the shape of the sword. Therefore, swordsmanship and The title of Kendo is still reserved.)
Qi Zuoguo raised his left leg and slashed forward. The opponent jumped out, followed by a flash of white light, and the sharp tip of the knife stabbed him in the face. Qi Zuoguo wanted to block it with his sword, but Sakurako Fujita turned the blade slightly to one side, and the blade immediately reflected light.
The strong light illuminated him and he couldn't help but close his eyes slightly, and at this moment, the opponent's blade struck again. Qi Jiguang saw it in his eyes and said hurriedly: "Guo'er, be careful."
There was only a clang sound, and Qi Zuoguo's tiger's mouth shook violently. He couldn't hold the long sword and was twisted into the air by the opponent's weapon, and the blade was slashing towards his throat. Seeing that the fate of Qi Zuo's country was at stake, he felt his heart tighten and his body drifted backwards.
The long knife fell from mid-air and was stuck on the ground. At this moment, Xiao Yunfan was seen pulling Qi Zuoguo away with one hand, flying up on his toes, and taking the opponent's blade aside. Sakurako Fujita took a few steps back, made a semicircle with the long knife in her hand, inserted it into the sheath, and said coldly: "The Qi family's swordsmanship is nothing more than this."
Qi Zuoguo wanted to tell the difference, but he was defeated just now. But I heard Xiao Yunfan say: "Little girl, my brother Qi Shi saw that you are a woman, so he wanted to give in. Who would have thought that you would make irresponsible remarks?"
Sakurako Fujita said: "If you lose, you lose, and if you win, you win. The Qi family's swordsmanship has just been defeated by me, how can it still stand in the world?" She deliberately emphasized her tone when speaking to embarrass Qi Jiguang. Qi Zuoguo stood aside, his face turned red, he lowered his head and said, "Father, these are incompetent children who have brought shame on our Qi family." Qi Jiguang remained silent.
Xiao Yunfan said: "Little girl, with your three-legged cat skills, you are worthy of being called the Qi Family Sword. Since you are so boastful, I will let you know what it means to be 'there are people outside the world, and there is a world outside the world'."
Sakurako Fujita looked at Xiao Yunfan's face and said, "Why do you also want to taste my knife?" Xiao Yunfan shook his head and said, "In front of me, your knife is almost like a child's toy. You also call it Sword? It seems that you Japanese people are really ignorant."
Sakurako Fujita was about to get angry, but Xiao Yunfan continued: "Why don't you believe what I say? Okay, if you can pull out the knife in front of me, I will admit defeat. You can chop off my head."
Fujita Sakurako said: "You are too arrogant. Take a knife." Xiao Yunfan spread his hands and smiled: "I don't need a weapon to deal with you."
Qi Jiguang saw the opponent's sharp swordsmanship and was afraid that Xiao Yunfan would suffer a loss, so he said: "Fan'er, don't trust me. This woman's swordsmanship is very powerful." Xiao Yunfan turned around and said, "Uncle Shi, don't worry, Fan'er has his own sense of proportion."
Sakurako Fujita snorted coldly: "Boy, you are looking for death."
Xiao Yunfan said: "Girl, you are a bit angry." After saying that, the two of them flew up. Fujita Sakurako held the handle of the knife with her left hand and tried to use Iai to slash.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yunfan's man had already rushed in front of him and pressed his palm on the handle of her knife. Sakurako Fujita was quite surprised. She raised her palm and hit Xiao Yunfan on the cheek. Suddenly her eyes were blurred. The opponent grabbed her wrist with one hand and pressed her behind her. Her knife fell into the opponent's hand without knowing when.
With a choke, Xiao Yunfan pushed out half of her knife and put it on her white neck. Sakurako Fujita said in a shocked and trembling voice: "You...you actually know Yagyu Shininryu's 'No Swordsmanship'." Weiweiba
Xiao Yunfan said calmly: "I have never heard of Yagyu Sheng's 'taking without a knife'. In our place, it is called 'taking a white blade with bare hands'. Little girl, now you know that 'there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world'?"
Fujita Sakurako said: "You have been defeated by you, please kill me!" Xiao Yunfan let go of her hand, turned around and jumped in front of her, holding her knife in both hands and said: "I won't kill you, Let's go. Let me tell you, I am the heir of the Qi family's sword skills. If you want revenge in the future, just come to me. I will keep your sword. When you become more capable, you can ask me for a sword. .”
Sakurako Fujita turned around with tears in her eyes. Before walking a few steps, she turned around and asked, "What's your name?" Xiao Yunfan said, "Xiao Yunfan, you remember. If you want to get the knife back, take revenge, go to someone Xiao." Come."
Sakurako Fujita straightened up and ran into the distance. Xiao Yunfan looked at her back and shook his head.
Xiao Yunfan opened the acupoints for Qi Jiguang and said: "Uncle Shi, my nephew has offended me a lot." Qi Jiguang said: "It doesn't matter." Qi Zuoguo said with a look of shame on his face: "Brother Xiao, if it weren't for you just now, my life would have been handed over to me. .”
Xiao Yunfan said: "Brother Qi, you're welcome." Qi Jiguang pondered for a moment and said: "Fan'er, this Fusang girl came to my country to seek revenge on me, but she must have other motives." Xiao Yunfan said: "What Uncle Shi said is true. Fan'er will pay attention to this matter in the future."
The three of them were chatting in the courtyard when a young man dressed as a servant in gray clothes and a small hat ran in with a panic look on his face. As soon as he saw Qi Jiguang and his son, he knelt down and gasped: "Master, it's not good."
Qi Jiguang asked: "Qicheng, what happened?" Qicheng said with a sad face: "This morning the county magistrate and the people from the court surrounded our Qi Mansion. The villain went to the street to buy seasonings, so he didn't stay here. In the mansion. The people from the court are coming fiercely. The master, wife and young men are still in the mansion. Seeing this situation, I have no idea. Master, what should I do? "
Qi Jiguang sighed and said: "What is supposed to come will come, let's go back. Guo'er, you and Acheng go to set up the carriage, and we will go back home right away." After hearing this, the two of them went to the stables.
Qi Jiguang looked at Xiao Yunfan and said: "Fan'er, I think most of the people in the court will accuse me. You are an outsider, and you have nothing to do here. If you leave now and protect those military books, you will be worthy of me."
Xiao Yunfan shook his head and said, "No, Uncle Shi. Fan'er is here to protect you, Zhou Quan. No matter what you say, I will never leave today."
Qi Jiguang sighed: "My child, I understand what you mean. But now that someone from the imperial court is coming, I don't think anything good will come of it. You are an outsider and I don't want you to get involved." Xiao Yunfan said: "Uncle Shi, the turmoil in the world , Fan'er has been through a lot, and I'm not afraid of the wind and waves in the court."
Qi Jiguang stroked his beard and said: "The turmoil in the court is far greater than that of the rivers and lakes. If you are caught in it, then I am afraid that no one will succeed in the great cause I have conceived for the Ming Dynasty. Uncle Shi, with those Things are far away, so I can feel at ease."
Xiao Yunfan thought about the reason behind his words and reluctantly replied: "In that case, Fan'er will comply with Uncle Shi's wish." After saying that, he hurriedly packed his bags.
But it was said that Qi Jiguang returned to his house after saying goodbye to his son and Xiao Yunfan in tears. His father and son walked into the living room. There were two people sitting on the Grand Master's chair in the main hall. One was Shenji, the magistrate of Penglai County, and the other was an official of the imperial court.
Shen Ji is a middle-aged man in his forties, with triangular eyes, a hooked nose, a narrow chin, and a short beard on his chin. The imperial official wore a black veil on his head and a scarlet official coat. The man's face was dark, and there was a sinister air in his eyes under his thick eyebrows.
When Shen Ji saw Qi Jiguang walking into the room and saluting, he hurriedly shouted and laughed: "General Qi, please come to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. This is Lord Fang Mingchong, the supervisory censor. Lord Fang, you are an old emperor, so it's up to you to speak. .”
Fang Mingchong looked at Qi Jiguang, but did not let him sit down. He said calmly: "Qi Jiguang, do you know the crime?" Qi Jiguang said: "Qi is now disarmed and returned to his fields. A common man who lives in peace and contentment does not know where the crime comes from?"
Fang Mingchong snorted coldly and said, "Where does such a crime come from? If you are a good citizen in peace and quiet, why would the court send me to ask you about your crime?" Qi Jiguang coughed and said, "The common people really don't know what you mean. , I hope you will make it clear."
Fang Mingchong waved his hand, and a clerk next to him handed him a piece of paper filled with text. He picked up the page and said slowly, "Someone accused you of writing a private military document with the intention of treason?"
Qi Jiguang's heart sank slightly and said: "My lord, I know that all the military books written by the grassroots people have been handed over to the Ministry of War when I left office. If you are interested, you can check it in the archives of the Ministry of War. The villain has written the military books, so then It was something that happened in the past. To say that Qi rebelled is even more nonsense. Qi is old and weak, has no soldiers, no food and no pay. What you say is just hearsay."
Fang Mingchong said coldly: "People say Qi Jiguang is first-rate in leading troops in battles. When we meet today, I see that Qi Jiguang's eloquence is also first-rate."
Qi Zuoguo stood aside, feeling very dissatisfied with such ridicule and wanted to stand up and defend his father. Qi Jiguang pressed lightly on the back of his hand to signal him not to make any mistakes.
