As he strode forward, he suddenly shortened the distance between him and Qingdeng. While approaching Qingdeng, he raised the bamboo sword horizontally at the same height as his own shoulders, held the tip of the sword motionless, and then raised the sword

The body drew an afterimage that was so fast that it was difficult to distinguish the specific shape, and swept Qingdeng's sword-holding right wrist horizontally.

Aoto did not dodge or dodge, he lowered his center of gravity and moved towards Chiba Tamonshiro with his body scraping the ground like he was flying at low altitude.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The moment the two people passed each other, four deafening sounds were heard in succession, making people wonder if the two people were trying to break the swords into pieces.

Chiba Tamon Shiro is a member of the Chiba family who has strong genetics and all members of his family are outstanding talents with outstanding swordsmanship. His swordsmanship is really strong.

In a head-to-head confrontation with Qingdeng, he was able to fight back and forth with Qingdeng without losing the slightest bit.

Describing the battle process between Aoto and Chiba Tamonshiro in such detail, it seems as if they have been fighting for a long time. In fact, everything is at the click of a finger.

Aoto and Chiba Tamonshiro took a few steps away from each other. When they turned around and stood up on one knee, they placed their bamboo swords in front of them again. Their postures were still flawless.

Aoto wanted to continue fighting with Chiba Tamonshiro until the winner was decided, but things went against his wishes. Aoto felt someone approaching from behind.

Qingteng was not so arrogant as to think that he could deal with the siege of Xuanbukan swordsmen with ease.

The figure flashed - Qing Deng followed his footsteps and ran straight to his right side.

Chiba Tamonshiro and the other Genbukan swordsmen quickly set out to pursue them, but as soon as they started, they were pushed back by Aoto for a long distance.

Qingdeng has the explosive power of his lower limbs given by "taking the lead", and has "starting speed" and "acceleration" that are unmatched by ordinary people without special training.

At this time, Qingdeng suddenly felt that the light in front of him dimmed - two tall and strong men, one on the left and one on the right, blocked his path.

Qingto glanced around and checked his surroundings. After confirming that there was no one on his left and right sides and that it would take Chiba Tamonshiro a few seconds to catch up with him, he took a deep breath.

After that, what replaced Qingden's inhalation sound was the bamboo sword in his hand.

Qingdeng lowered his waist slightly, raised his stance from the middle, and struck the enemy with his right hand with a horizontal sword.

There was a real feeling of being hit by a knife... The man who was attacked by Qingdeng couldn't dodge in place, so his left shoulder took Qingdeng's blow firmly, and his facial features were instantly twisted together due to severe pain.

The enemy on Qingden's left saw the right moment and immediately slashed with his sword.

But Qingdeng, much faster than him, took the sword back in front of him and blocked the tip of the man's sword.

Chiba Tamonshiro and others were about to arrive... Therefore, Aonto didn't want to fight, and got out in time, and continued to run towards the weakly defended area of ​​​​Xuanbu Hall, looking for his lone opponent.

Seeing Aoto who retreated in one blow and never stayed in one place for too long, never giving the Genbukan swordsmen any chance to surround him, Chiba Tamonshiro couldn't help but let out a "tsk" and clicked his tongue.

He closed his mouth.

Suddenly, Chiba Tamonshiro's eyes widened suddenly as he suddenly recalled something.

Aoto's activeness, as well as the conspicuous Jinhaori on his body, which represented the status of the general, made Chiba Tamonshiro's attention unconsciously focus on Aoto, and subconsciously ignored Mr. Okita.

Tsukasa, Isamu Kondo and the others...

Although Chiba Tamonshiro has always looked down upon the Imperial Guard Hall, he has always spoken highly of the abilities of Souji, Kondo, Hijikata and Inoue.

Chiba Tamonshiro, who realized that he had ignored these people, quickly stopped, raised his head and eyes, and looked for Souji and the others.

Although the arena had turned into a chaotic situation due to the start of the war, Chiba Tamonshiro quickly found the location of Souji and others - because the four of them were gathering together at the moment.

"What...?" A low exclamation escaped from Chiba Tamonshiro's lips and teeth.

At this moment, Souji, Kondo, Hijikata, and Inoue are firmly surrounding their general from four directions...surrounding Chiba Michizaburo!

Aoto took the opportunity to turn his face and looked at the battlefield of "The Four Souji vs. Chiba Michisaburo" in the distance.

"Guys... don't lose..."

…

…

The "auditorium" on the north side of the stadium——

"Hehehe, it's true... It's impossible to attack the Trial Guard Hall without any plan. They really have a plan."

Saito Yakuro...that is, the same name as "Chiba Chiba" Eijiro Chiba, the current owner of the military training hall, one of the "three major venues in Edo", a bald old man with the reputation of "Saito the Power".

While laughing, he raised his hand to grasp the long snow-white beard on his chin.

Although there was an incident between the Genbu Hall and the training hall, "Chiba Eijiro crushed Saito Yakuro's second son: Saito Kannosuke, causing Saito Kannosuke to fall into a serious crisis, which he has not yet come out of."

"The psychological shadow" is a rather unpleasant incident, but the personal relationship between Saito Yakuro and Genbukan has always been quite good.

Having a close relationship with the family that caused his son to suffer from serious psychological shadow... Such an unbelievable thing, when placed in this strange man Saito Yakuro, makes people feel that it is completely normal.

This 62-year-old man is a well-known legend in Edo. His chic and vigorous life has made countless people look forward to and admire him endlessly.

Yakuro Saito was born into a poor family of a low-level samurai. When he was 13 years old, in order to alleviate the poverty of his family, he had to work as a helper in an oil workshop.

He grew up like this in an ordinary way until he was 15 years old. He didn't know which nerve in his head was twitching. He suddenly had a whim and wanted to become a great scholar.

As soon as he thought of it, he immediately ran away from home, helping people carry luggage and earn food along the way. After a long journey, he finally arrived in Edo and settled in Edo with a life rhythm of "working to make money during the day and studying hard at night"

Come down.

As a result, before he had even read the book for long, someone inadvertently discovered his unparalleled swordsmanship talent.

Yakuro Saito, who realized that he seemed to prefer practicing swordsmanship, decisively "abandoned writing and followed swordsmanship".

After entering the Shinto Muken-ryu fencing hall run by Okada Jumatsu and formally practicing swordsmanship, it didn't take long for him to take the position of shihandai.

Saito Yakuro is not only good at swordsmanship, but also very good at business, and has the talent to be a big businessman.

After becoming the master of the fencing hall, under his management, the fencing hall prospered and grew rapidly.

At the age of 28, he opened his own sword gym, a training hall.

Relying on outstanding swordsmanship and extraordinary operational capabilities, in a very short period of time, he developed the training hall from scratch into one of the "Three Major Sword Halls in Edo" and promoted the originally mediocre Shinto Muken-ryu.

.

The average age of men in Edo is between 3 and 40 years old. He is now 62 years old. Yakuro Saito wants to achieve success in life and have social status. Logically speaking, it is time for him to enjoy his old age in peace.

But he has a free and easy nature, and even at an age when others have long since lost their vigor and energy and just want to accept their fate and submit to old age, he has not stopped exploring life and the world.

After the "Black Ship Attack" incident occurred and Japan's national gate was forced to open under the threat of Western warships, Yakuro Saito realized very enlightenedly: the sword in front of the cannon is no more than an embroidery needle, and gunnery is the key

The supreme truth of killing skills.

This old man, who had practiced swordsmanship for most of his life, freely and decisively abandoned this skill that had long been integrated with his life, and began to learn how to use cannons.

In order to devote more energy to researching cannons, Saito Yakuro became a hands-off shopkeeper and handed over the training hall to his eldest son, Saito Shintaro, to run it. He spent his own money to buy 3,000 square meters of land in Yoyogi.

It is used as a training ground. Together with the disciples who are also interested in gunnery, they can happily learn gunnery and build forts in this training ground every day.

Yakuro Saito's artillery learning progress can be described as rapid.

According to rumors, the Edo shogunate is currently planning to build a fort for the defense of Edo Bay at Shinagawa Odaiba. Because Yakuro Saito has now mastered a very good level of gunnery, the Edo shogunate intends to hire Yakuro Saito.

to assist in the construction of Shinagawa Fort.

Yakuro Saito, whose character is the best example of the word "informal", didn't care at all that his second son was psychologically shadowed by Eijiro Chiba.

Someone once asked Yakuro Saito why he was like this, and he answered like this - "Since you choose to devote yourself to the sword, you must be prepared to go through setbacks, mud, sweat and blood and tears. Inuko is too proud and has no ambition.

Jian, lacks such awareness, and thinks that he is invincible among his peers. It's just a disastrous defeat that has shattered his spirit and ambition. It's just Quanzi who is to blame for all this. I don't blame anyone."

Nowadays, Yakuro Saito, who is completely focused on gunnery and has basically semi-retired from the world of swordsmanship, rarely participates in swordsmanship-related activities anymore.

The reason why he came here today was not to see whether the trial defense hall and the Xuanwu Hall could produce any different kind of sparks.

He came here entirely for one person.

Saito Yakuro said from one side of his face to a young man with quite regular features sitting behind him:

"You have to take a good look at the wig. I have a feeling that Tachibana Qingden is going to shine again today."

"Master, it's not a wig, it's Gui."

The young man said calmly with a helpless tone.

"Hehehe, I'm sorry. I'm old and my speech is unclear. I apologize."

*******

*******

Because there are no paragraph reviews for all the books on the site these days, the author can only do some popular science here: In Japanese, the pronunciation of "wig" and "gui" are very similar. The pronunciation of "wig" is "purple".

The latter is pronounced "Kazila".

As Qingnobo's social status improved, masters from all walks of life in Edo also appeared in his life one by one.
