Looking at the decapitated Yagyu Ichibei, Hong Kang looked indifferent.
Throwing away the knife in his hand, he turned and left.
Although the two knives on the ground are good, since they are revealed, keeping them will only cause trouble.
Hong Kang didn't want to find someone to melt it and cast it again, so he had no choice but to give it up.
The next day, news about the murder of Yagyu Ichibei reached the ears of Lu Yongxiang, the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
He was furious.
He was not too reassured by Yagyu Ichibei's military protection, but in Lu Yongxiang's heart, this was a symbol of his cooperation with Japan.
So he ordered his men to post notices everywhere offering a reward for the murderer.
The reward is very high, even if you can only provide clues, there will be a reward.
Soon, there was a portrait of the murderer - a round and swollen face.
But the result is naturally doomed to be in vain.
Because...this is a person who does not exist.
As for what the Japanese Yagyu family will do when they learn the news, that is what Hong Kang needs to be concerned about.
…………
Japan.
Yagyu family.
The current head of the family, Soujiro Yagyu, looked at the news in his hand with a gloomy expression.
The three most outstanding swordsmen of his Yagyu family all died on that land.
This is not only a loss to their Yagyu family, but also a provocation to them.
The three of them, especially Yagyu Ichibei, are the geniuses who are considered the most promising to become great swordsmen.
But now, even the head has been chopped off by others.
The problem is, up to now, not even the murderer has been caught, not even the slightest clue.
"idiot!!"
Soujiro Yagyu shook the cup hard.
"Crack!"
The cup shattered into pieces.
Kamizumi Shinichi suggested: "Master of the family, should we ask the great elder for instructions??! If the great elder takes action, he will definitely kill the thief with his sword!!"
Kamizumi Shinichi's ancestors also had great swordsmen, but they gradually declined. In his grandfather's generation, they had become retainers of the Yagyu family.
Hearing this, Soujiro Yagyu was very moved.
As the eldest elder of the Yagyu family, Yagyu Wuji is equivalent to a Dinghai Shenzhen in the family.
But after thinking for a while, he still shook his head.
"The Great Elder has recently gained new insights in the way of swordsmanship, and has gone into seclusion half a month ago. He specifically asked me not to disturb him until the family's survival is at stake."
Kamizumi Shinichi was surprised and said: "The great elder has made another breakthrough??"
As members of the Yagyu family, they naturally know how terrifying Yagyu Wuji's strength is.
Kamizumi Shinichi guessed: "Could it be that...the Great Elder has found the way to the [Sword Master]??!"
【Juggernaut】! !
This is the highest realm that all Japanese practitioners of swordsmanship dream of.
It is said that a strong person who has reached this level can do all kinds of incredible things.
It’s beyond imagination! !
However, strong men who have reached this level have been as rare as a feather since ancient times.
Yagyu Soujiro's eyes showed yearning: "I don't know, but... I believe in the great elder, so we can handle the affairs of Ichibei and the others ourselves without disturbing the great elder."
"Shangquan, contact other families..."
…………
After Hong Kang killed Yagyu Ichibei, he deliberately went out to let some people see his appearance.
Then he turned around, changed his clothes, and restored his original appearance at the same time.
Now, others will not know that he killed Ichibei Yagyu.
Although he is not afraid of those Japanese people, he hates trouble.
As for the Yagyu family——
Hong Kang looked up and looked into the distance. He would go to Japan for a trip in the future.
What Hong Kang wants now is to practice well.
He now needs a stable and long-term time to sort out what he has learned.
By the way, he taught his two apprentices well.
As for [Tai Chi Sect], he has no plans to return.
Previously, he wanted to learn "Ape Strike" as the leader of [Tai Chi Sect], but now that Zhou Xiyu decided to teach him, it doesn't matter whether he has the position of leader or not.
After seeing Hong Kang come back, Zhou Xiyu looked at him and said, "As long as it's okay."
He has seen the city-wide manhunt for Hong Kang.
…
The flowing light easily throws people away, turning cherries red and bananas green.
More than seven years have passed like this.
More than seven years is not a long time, but it can allow the young man to grow up and add a few more growth rings to the trees.
The appearance of Hong Kang and Zhou Xiyu has not changed much.
It's just that there's a change in temperament.
Especially Zhou Xiyu, after practicing "Thunder Sound Stake", the vitality of his physical body was enhanced, the marrow was exchanged for blood, impurities were eliminated, and his skin became firmer, making his whole person look more youthful.
He was originally like a bright moon, and his eyes were even brighter and livelier.
Hong Kang, on the other hand, has a kind of yang and harmony in his body, and his temperament is not as strong as before.
But the biggest change is of course the two children.
No,
He is no longer a child.
Zhao Xinchuan, who is twenty years old, looks very talented. He likes to imitate his master Hong Kang and wear black clothes.
In life, when he was sixteen years old, he was asked by Hong Kang to go out and be self-reliant.
It seems that I found a job as a student assistant in a private school.
Originally, people were reluctant to hire him because of his young age, but after he showed his knowledge, he was hired immediately.
Although he has a job, Zhao Xinchuan still lives in the Taoist temple.
After all these years, the Taoist temple remains unknown.
Zhao Xinchuan once suggested giving the Taoist temple a meaningful name.
But Zhou Xiyu said: "The Tao has no name, so why force it!"
In terms of martial arts, Zhao Xinchuan's "Taihe Gong" has penetrated Xiao Zhou Tian, "Flying Cloud Step" has also been achieved, and even "Golden Bell" has reached the level of "internal strength counter-shock".
"Taihe Gong" and "Golden Bell", one is for practicing qi and the other is for practicing strength. When Zhao Xinchuan first started learning, his progress was a bit slow, but over time, the two complemented each other and had a promoting effect.
Moreover, his control of strength has reached the threshold of learning "Thunder Sound Stake", and Hong Kang plans to teach it to him in a while.
But Wang Qiaoting's talent is not as high as Zhao Xinchuan's.
So Hong Kang didn't teach her the "Golden Bell", but just let her focus on practicing boxing and Qi. In this way, her cultivation level let alone the penetration of Xiao Zhou Tian, she was only qualified to practice "Taihe Gong" last year. .
Fortunately, Hong Kang did not require much martial arts training from him, but Wang Qiaoting learned a lot from Hong Kang's medical skills.
Now sixteen years old, Wang Qiaoting is slim and graceful, with a gentle yet strong temperament.
The so-called childhood sweethearts, childhood sweethearts.
It was natural that she and Zhao Xinchuan had been in love for a long time.
Hong Kang personally engaged the two apprentices.
According to the customs of this era, it was common for a woman to get married at the age of sixteen.
But the day Hong Kang chose for the two of them was four years later, when Wang Qiaoting turned twenty.
Getting married and having children too early is not good for a woman's health.
The two of them have followed Hong Kang for so many years, and they still know this medical principle.
Wang Qiaoting has been living in a Taoist temple before and has not yet reached the age to become a Buddhist monk, but this year she has also reached the age to become a Buddhist monk.
As for what to do, she had already thought about it.
Relying on her skills, she planned to open a small restaurant in the town, near where Zhao Xinchuan worked, so that it would be convenient for Zhao Xinchuan to come back from get off work.
The only problem is that the master and uncle will have to cook by themselves from now on.
That's right,
For so many years, Wang Qiaoting has been responsible for the meals for several people.
In the courtyard.
Wang Qiaoting and Hong Kang stood opposite each other.
Zhou Xiyu and Zhao Xinchuan watched from the sidelines.
Hong Kang said: "Qiao'er, today is the day for you to become a master. Come on, let Master see your skills."
