Early the next morning, in the atrium of the Flower Palace, Ashikaga Yoshiteru conducted morning exercises accompanied by military master Kamizumi Nobutsuna.
Muromachi Minister Wada Weimasa walked in and glanced anxiously, but did not speak.
The Wada family is an old samurai family from Minami Omi, and is related to both the Ashikaga family and the Rokkaku family.
Wada Yaomasa was gorgeous in appearance and elegant in conversation, and was responsible for the diplomatic affairs of the Ashikaga Yoshiteru shogunate.
Sighing, Ashikaga Yoshiteru didn't want to know what happened. Anyway, the Ashikaga family is already trapped in a shoal, allowing those fish and shrimps to tease them.
"Master, tell me, is there any swordsmanship in this world that can kill a thousand rebellious people in the world?"
Kamizumi Nobutsuna was stunned for a moment, saw Wada outside, and knew why the general suddenly felt depressed.
"Swordsmanship is not witchcraft. There is a limit to what one person can do with one sword."
He knew that Yoshiki was depressed, but Kamizumi Nobutsuna adhered to the way of the sword and refused to talk nonsense. Yihui nodded, she also understood this truth.
Swordsmanship seems to be majestic on ordinary days, but it is actually difficult to use on the battlefield.
Once the battlefield was fully equipped, Japanese swords were delicate and useless after being able to kill only a few people. On the battlefield, most people use guns, bows, or special nodachi.
Secondly, battle formations are important on the battlefield. What we compete for is organizational ability and soldier morale.
Personal bravery is useful, but if you can't integrate into the army's tactics, even the Ashigaru Spear Formation can defeat you clearly and uselessly with just your personal heroism.
Yihui just felt depressed and wanted to vent some. Seeing her like this, Kamizumi Nobutsuna opened his mouth to comfort her.
"Actually, there is a saying that there is a kind of swordsman who can do it."
Yihui became interested, and without looking at the anxious Wada in the distance, he motioned to Kamizumi Teacherhan to continue.
“Each swordsmanship school uses various methods to deduce and practice various abilities of the human body, so that they can reach their peak when using the sword.
In fact, people themselves have this ability. "
Yihui asked.
"You are already very strong? You don't need to study hard to do it? Hahaha, the teacher is just joking."
Kamizumi Nobutsuna shook his head.
"I'm not kidding. Because someone had a fire in his home, he moved all the items out of the house in a hurry, even large items that required several people to move."
Yihui smiled.
"Is that the power of greed?"
"There was another person who was walking on a mountain road with her child, and a boulder suddenly rolled down from above her head. In order to protect her child, she struggled to lift the boulder of several hundred kilograms."
"this.."
Yoshiki was a little confused, Ueizumi Nobutsuna said seriously.
“Then they all died.
Human physical power is very powerful, so strong that the person himself cannot bear the consequences of using it, so it will close itself off and the person can only use a small part of the power.
When a person releases her restrictions and unleashes her ultimate power in times of crisis, she will be far stronger than usual at that time.
But the shackles of the human body are also protection. Once they fail, they will collapse and die due to the extreme use of force. "
Yihui thought.
"What the teacher means is that if a swordsman can free herself from the shackles of her body, then she can ride a thousand horses and become invincible?"
Ueizumi Nobutsuna laughed.
"It's just a joke. There is no such person in the world. Even if there is, he will not live long."
Yihui laughed and felt much better while talking and laughing. Nobutsuna Kamiizumi nodded and walked towards Wada Weimasa.
At the same time, outside Owari Kiyosu Castle.
Yiyin and Yiyi led the horses and immediately hung up the luggage on the road. Takada Yono and Maeda Toshihisa came to see them off.
"Yukino is missing?"
Yiyin frowned, feeling strange that he didn't see Yukino this morning. Who knew that this girl was nowhere to be seen until the farewell.
Yang Nai is open-minded.
"She may have gone into hiding because she didn't want to say goodbye to you."
Yiyin nodded, feeling that this made sense.
"Lord Yiyin, please be careful along the way."
Yiyin said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I know what's going on. If I meet merchants the Oda family knows well on the way, I'll ask them to come back with a letter."
Yiyin is not idle these days, and he is having a fierce fight with several businessmen in Qingzhou Castle Town. I had already inquired about where to stay on the road and had a map prepared.
In recent years, we have learned a lot about the grudges and grudges of the Wu family. He was born in Owari and doesn't know much about Konge, so he needs to put in some effort.
Fortunately, these merchants were engaged in business from the nearest Tokaido Road. The samurai on the road were not familiar with it and did not dare to take this trade route.
It is enough to get some daily news from them. Of course, if you give money, you can't tell some secrets. Traveling thousands of miles is just for money.
Yiyin didn't pay. He was going to give gifts to the general, not to fight. I just have an idea in my mind. Why do I know so much and still spend money? Nobunaga won't reimburse me.
After Yiyin finished talking to Yang Nai, he talked to Rijiu again.
"Maeda-sama, I don't bother you with family matters. Just let Harino do your best for external matters. After all, His Highness Oda named you and released you."
Rijiu nodded.
"Don't worry, Lord, Rijiu understands."
Before Yi Bank left, the system left behind was that Yang Nai was in charge of domestic affairs and Li Jiu was in charge of foreign affairs and military affairs.
But on the surface, Yono is the one left behind by Yoshigan to talk things over, and Riku, who was exiled by Nobunaga, is just a guest at the Okehazama Maeda family in the name of benefiting his adoptive mother.
Both of them have flaws, need the cooperation of the other, and have their own guarantees of loyalty.
Only with this arrangement can Yiyin go to Luo Jingdu with peace of mind and not have to worry about family affairs.
After Yiyin and Yiyi mounted their horses, they turned around and waved their hands before riding away.
In Qingzhou City behind him, shouts and shouts came from a swordsmanship dojo.
The sword hall here is located in the castle rather than in the castle town, which shows Nobunaga's favor for the owner of the hall.
Most of the cities in the Warring States Period were narrow and small, and buildings unrelated to city defense were all located in the castle towns. Only the residences of important ministers and horseback warriors were placed in the city.
The owner of the sword hall is Aisu Nobutada, a member of the Aisu Yin-ryu clan. After coming to Kiyosu Castle from his hometown in Ise Province, he won many swordsmanship competitions held by Nobunaga, and was rewarded with opening a sword hall in this dojo in the city.
She was staring at the disciples in the field wielding their swords, and she would scold them if their posture or spirit was wrong.
At this time, the door of the dojo was pushed open. A petite woman walked in.
Her hair was tied randomly at the back of her neck, and there was a newly healed cross scar on her left cheek. There was a large blemish on her delicate and beautiful face, and she stood a little weakly.
"Shibaru Takada Yukino, I'm asking you for advice."
"you again!"
Aizhou Nobutada was furious. She recognized this woman. She came here out of nowhere to ask about the true swordsmanship a few days ago.
Can the swordsmanship of our family be passed down so casually? ridiculous!
She had a bad temper, and in the name of fighting, she crippled the woman's right hand and left some marks on her face to prevent her from forgetting her lesson.
If he hadn't heard her say the name of the Shiba family, he would have lost his life that day. But his kindness didn't seem to be appreciated.
With a cruel smile on his lips, Aizhou took out the knife and stood up.
"Then let me teach you."
The two stood in the dojo, surrounded by Aizhou's disciples. Aisu Nobutada waved the knife in his hand and assumed a mid-section pose.
Yukino stood there coldly, as if in a daze.
Aisu Nobutada was angry. He stepped forward and slashed at Yukino's neck with his knife.
Suddenly she felt that the world was turned upside down, and then she saw her body. There were still questions in his mind, and he had already lost consciousness.
The surrounding Aizhou disciples burst into an uproar. Just a moment ago, they didn't even see how Yukino drew the sword, and Shihan's head was cut off.
They surrounded the murderer angrily, but no one dared to step forward. Who wouldn’t be afraid of that invisible knife just now?
Yukino coughed twice and shook his head in disappointment. He ignored them and walked out, no one dared to stop him.
