Tang Zhihang patted the floor, although it seemed rude, but he didn't care so much at this time. Tang Zhihang said to Soichiro Akizuki: "My lord, I still hope you will figure it out - if that robber is not caught, it will not affect us in any way, and the things that are lost are not so precious to us - at least we can't exchange things for money or anything like that." But for you, it's different, if you want to restore Naomi Akizuki's eyes and left arm, you can only rely on what was stolen by the robbers, in other words, we are like doctors operating on patients - you need to pay for the medicine for the surgery, and we as doctors also need labor expenses for the operation. There is only one labor fee I accept, and that is the swordsmanship of the Qiuyue family, and if we don't exchange the swordsmanship of the Qiuyue family, we don't think there is any need to continue the discussion. ”

Seeing that Tang Zhihang was so aggressive, although he was angry but didn't dare to attack, Akizuki Soichiro endured and said, "Young man...... Can you give the old man some time to think? Why don't you stay at Qiuyue's house tonight, and the old man will give you an answer early tomorrow morning?"

"Okay then...... Tang Zhihang said: "But the head of the family still has to figure out a little bit, whether the ancestral training is important or a person's future is more important." ”

Leaving the room, Qiu Yue Jinnako asked Tang Zhihang, "What did you just say those words?" I can teach you the swordsmanship of the Qiu Yue family if you want to learn, there is no need to say it in front of grandpa. ”

Tang Zhihang scoffed at this: "Do you think I really want to learn your Qiuyue family's swordsmanship? I just want to see if the old man values the family's swordsmanship more or his granddaughter." But even the old man who needs to hesitate in this regard, I think he should value the family's swordsmanship more......"

"There's no such thing!" Akizuki Tsunako hurriedly retorted: "Grandpa loves us very much, but it's just ...... It's just that grandpa is the head of the family, so he will worry about the damage to the family's interests because of his own fault, so he will hesitate. ”

"Do you have any requirements for your family to choose the head of the family?" Tang Zhihang asked again: "Is it based on age or not, or is there a capable person living there?"

Akizuki Tsunako thought for a moment, and then said, "It's according to ability...... The previous heads of the Qiuyue family are the strongest swordsmen in that generation, and the current head of the family is the grandfather, and the next one is the second uncle who has the strongest swordsmanship among his father's generation. ”

Tang Zhihang nodded and said, "In other words, you will be the next head of the family?"

"No......" Akizuki Tsunako said: "It's not me, the Akizuki family does not allow women to be in charge, so no matter how strong my swordsmanship is, in the end, the head of the family can only be produced among my brothers." ”

"In other words, you have learned swordsmanship but you can't inherit the family business, and the same is true for your sister Naomi Akizuki, even if you cure her, it won't benefit the family, right?" Tang Zhihang said very hurtful words in a very calm tone, and in the face of Tang Zhihang's questioning, Akizuki Tsunako could only nod and acquiesce.

At this time, Tsunako Akizuki had already led us to the guest room, "This is your room tonight...... If the quilt is in the closet, you can take it yourself. ”

"Won't there be no dinner?" I said to Akizuki Tsunako: "Although Tang Zhihang is angry with your grandfather, you are not going to ignore the meal, right? ”

Qiu Yue Tsunako smiled and said: "Don't worry, no matter how good the Qiu Yue family is, it is impossible to ignore the meal, but grandpa was angry with Tang Zhihang, and it is estimated that it will be very late to notify you to have dinner......

"Let's order takeout. Tang Zhihang said to me: "Although I feel a little reluctant to let the takeaway be delivered to this mountain, I don't want to be hungry by this host's deliberate pigeon of us." ”

"Joking, joking!" Akizuki Tsunako hurriedly said, "I'll call you when I eat." It's fine if you want to wander around this house, but now that the people at the gym are still practicing, you can go and visit them, just don't disturb them. ”

"Then let's go and have a look. Tang Zhihang threw his duffel bag on the ground and said, "I just want to see what your gym teaches." ”

So Tang Zhihang and I went to the gym of Qiuyue's house under the leadership of Akizuki Tsunako, but Daihei stayed in the room to play her game console.

"Drink!!" Inside the gym, a group of people in white kendo uniforms were wielding swords - not swords, were they? It was just a traditional Japanese bamboo sword, the kind of bamboo knife that was used for training.

Tang Zhihang, who was standing beside me, couldn't help but stand on one foot and buckle his feet, and said, "Is this the swordsmanship of the Qiuyue family?

"It's training muscles, and it's the basics of kendo. Akizuki Tsunako was not angry at Tang Zhihang's disdainful tone, although she was very good at swordsmanship, she didn't seem to respect her own swordsmanship very much: "I used to practice like this when I was young, although this set of movements is really boring, but it is still useful in fitness." ”

Tang Zhihang pushed me and said, "Help me get a bamboo knife." ”

"Don't touch me with your hand that just snapped your foot. I scolded Tang Zhihang, but I could only obediently go and get a bamboo knife for Tang Zhihang, is this guy so lazy?

Tang Zhihang, who took the bamboo knife, waved the bamboo knife slightly, and then said: "The weight is okay, if you wield it well, you can kill people directly." ”

"Don't say such terrible things with such an indifferent face, okay?" I asked Tang Zhihang, "So what are you going to do with this bamboo knife?"

So far, we have been communicating in Chinese, and those students of the gym who are practicing wielding swords naturally can't understand what we are saying, but they don't know which tendon Tang Zhihang is wrong and suddenly said in Japanese: "What am I practicing with them?" I want to compete with Tsunako Akizuki to see who is more powerful in swordsmanship. ”

When the students of the gym heard this, a group of people suddenly stopped their movements and looked at us, Tang Zhihang continued to say to Akizuki Tsunako: "How about a competition?"

Akizuki Tsunako asked, "Did you take the wrong medicine?" Do you and I think you have a better chance of winning?"

Tang Zhihang heard me talk about the power of Akitsuki Tsunako on the way to Qiuyue's house, even Huang Yurou was not the opponent of Akitsuki Tsunako with a knife, and he couldn't even see Akitsuki Tsunako's movements clearly, who knew if Tang Zhihang could beat her.

"How do you know if you don't try?" Tang Zhihang said: "Don't look at me like this, in fact, I still have a certain degree of foundation in swordsmanship, and I have also studied it for a while." ”

I think what Tang Zhihang said about "studying for a period of time" probably came to the point where he watched the Taoist priests on Wudang Mountain play the Taiji sword during the month he spent on Wudang Mountain, right? Judging from the fact that he learned the Kyoto dialect in just a few minutes, I will no longer doubt Tang Zhihang's learning ability.

Akizuki Tsunako was also bored, so she said, "Then come on...... Don't blame me for not giving you face if you lose. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, let's talk about it if we lose. Tang Zhihang said and walked to the middle of the gym, and a group of students also dispersed around to watch the battle under the signal of Akizuki Tsunako.

One of them said to Akizuki Tsunako, "Miss Tsunako, who is that person, and how bold you dare to challenge you?"

Akizuki Tsunako said: "A friend I met over there in Minhai and I sparred. ”

"Is he very powerful? ”

Qiu Yue Jinnako didn't know how to answer for a while, she didn't know that this Tang Zhihang was not the original Tang Zhihang, her cognition of Tang Zhihang was still at the level that he relied on cleverness to fool people and actually had no combat effectiveness at all, and even she felt that Tang Zhihang said just now that he wanted to learn the swordsmanship of the Qiuyue family was just Tang Zhihang testing his grandfather, not really wanting to learn the swordsmanship of the Qiuyue family.

"How so...... It's okay. And we're just fighting, so there's no need to care if it's great or not...... If you want to try it, wait for the two of us to have a fight?" Tsunako Akizuki said to the man.

The man hurriedly took two steps back and smiled: "Miss Tsunako, don't be joking, how dare I fight with you, it will be very embarrassing." ”

Akizuki Tsunako smiled and took the bamboo knife in the man's hand, then walked up to Tang Zhihang and handed Tang Zhihang the mask used to practice kendo and said, "Take this, so as not to injure ...... by mistake."

"No, I don't. Tang Zhihang threw the mask aside and said, "It doesn't matter if you wear it or not, it's a little troublesome to wear it." ”

"Really, let's not attack the head, then. Akizuki Tsunako held the knife in both hands, but did not make the posture when she fought Huang Yurou before, it seems that she didn't take Tang Zhihang in her eyes, but just planned to play with Tang Zhihang.

Tang Zhihang asked, "Aren't you going to use all your strength?"

"Huh?" Tsunako Akizuki said, "It's just a competition, there's no need, right?"

"Although it's a competition, it's not a joke...... Tang Zhihang suddenly took a step forward as soon as he said this, and the bamboo knife in his hand stabbed straight at Akizuki Tsunako.

Akizuki Tsunako didn't expect Tang Zhihang's attack to be so fierce, and he came to his eyes in an instant, and it was too late to block at this time. She hurriedly dodged Tang Zhihang's bamboo knife sideways, but Tang Zhihang's bamboo knife was retracted the moment she turned sideways, and stabbed Akizuki Tsunako's waist again when Akizuki Tsunako just dodged.

Akizuki Tsunako hurriedly raised the knife to block, Tang Zhihang left no room to attack and forced Akizuki Tsunako to retreat, the movements of the two became faster and faster, my dynamic vision could no longer keep up with the rhythm of the two, and I only saw the four arms of the two holding knives and constantly cutting out the sound of "popping" bamboo knives.

Akizuki Tsunako suddenly stepped back and pulled away, and the onlookers couldn't help but sigh: "Miss Tsunako has been suppressed!"

"Who is that guy? He was able to suppress Miss Tsunako. ”

Tang Zhihang turned the bamboo knife in his hand and said, "How about it? I will give you another chance to prepare, so get serious." ”

Akizuki Tsunako didn't answer, she put the blade behind her, the tip of the knife was less than five centimeters away from the ground, the same movement as when she faced Huang Yurou before.

Seeing this, Tang Zhihang let go of his left hand, and relaxed his right hand holding the sword, what is this guy going to do?

"Drink!" Akizuki Tsunako rushed towards Tang Zhihang At the same time, Tang Zhihang raised his sword to meet the enemy, and the bamboo knives of the two collided again, but this time Tang Zhihang couldn't help but take a few steps back - he was repelled by Akizuki Tsunako's strong strength.

Akizuki Tsunako pressed and did not retreat, Tang Zhihang did not hesitate to attack again, but this time Tang Zhihang did not force Akizuki Tsunako's attack, but used his own bamboo knife to block Akizuki Tsunako's knife and turn clockwise to unload Akizuki Tsunako's force. At the same time, his bamboo knife also slid along the blade of Akizuki Tsunako to the hilt, Akitsuki Tsunako hurriedly retreated and gave up the attack, if she didn't retreat, her palm would be attacked by Tang Zhihang, right?

Tang Zhihang smiled: "Yes, continue." ”

Akizuki Tsunako did not choose to attack this time, but held the knife rigorously and confronted Tang Zhihang, and then saw that Akizuki Tsunako's way of holding the knife changed from putting the blade behind him to standing the blade horizontally in front of him and parallel to the ground, what kind of move is this?

"Miss Tsunako's going to be serious......"

"That boy is going to suffer. ”

Conscientious...... Akizuki Tsunako, is this the beginning of seriousness?

Just when I was wondering, I suddenly noticed that another person had entered the gym - it was Tsunako Akizuki's sister who was blind and had lost a left arm, Naomi Akizuki.

I saw Akizuki Naomi walking over with small steps, and sitting down against the wall not far from me, just waiting there quietly, as if listening to the voices in the hall.

Akizuki Tsunako attacked for the third time, Tang Zhihang also fought against it, and the bamboo knives of the two collided again, this time the battle was more intense than the previous two times, and the two fought evenly between the two sides. In the entire gym, in addition to the sound of the two fighting, there were also the voices of the students in the gym who couldn't stop exclaiming, and I don't know if they were surprised by Tang Zhihang's strength to compete with Akizuki Tsunako, or if they were sighing at Akizuki Tsunako's dizzying swordsmanship.

I walked over to Naomi Akizuki and sat down, and this little girl, who had always seemed very well-behaved, piqued my interest, and I said to Naomi Akizuki, "What are you doing here?

"This voice ......" Akizuki Naomi's mouth rose slightly and said, "Is it my sister who was in the hall just now?"

"If you're talking about the companion of the man who made your grandfather angry, it's really me. I said to Naomi Akizuki, "Don't worry, that guy just said nonsense, he doesn't have the power to decide my actions." As long as your grandfather helps me find the robber and retrieve what I lost, I will be able to heal your arms and eyes. ”

"Really?" Akizuki Naomi said excitedly, "Thank you, big sister!"

"No thanks...... You haven't answered my question yet, are you here to listen to their training?"

Naomi Akizuki nodded and said, "Well, because the whole house is the loudest, if I am here, I can know that there are many people around me." ”

I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart, this little girl who looked like she was only seven years old had suddenly lost the right to see all the beautiful things in the world, and could only feel the world with her own ears.

"But I don't know why there is no shouting from everyone today......" Naomi Akizuki said suddenly, "Does it seem that someone is competing?"

"yes, your sister Tsunako is playing against the villainous brother who made your grandfather angry. I looked at Akizuki Tsunako, who was fighting against Tang Zhihang with a serious expression, and said to Akitsuki Naomi: "Your sister is about to beat that villain brother down." ”

"Really?" Akizuki Naomi said even more excitedly: "Hey, hey, Sister Tsunako is the most powerful, she is the most powerful swordsman in our family, and even Uncle Natsuo is not Sister Tsunako's opponent." ”

I continued to watch the battle between the two, and at this point Tsunako Akizuki seemed to have a slight advantage, and the sharp attack just now was gone. Tsunako Akizuki, whose offensive gradually slowed down, could only give up the attacking side and choose to defend, and at the same time, Tang Zhihang also started his attack.

"Tsunako, her advantage is getting bigger and bigger. I said to Naomi Akizuki, "That villainous brother's pace has started to mess up, and he has just been stabbed by Tsunako. ”

"Come on, come on, Sister Tsunako!" "Naomi Akizuki suddenly stood up and shouted in the direction where the sound of battle was heard.

Akitsutsu Nako couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but when she was stunned, Tang Zhihang's bamboo knife ruthlessly hit her wrist: "Don't be distracted when fighting, as a kendo family, don't you know this truth?"

Akizuki Tsunako rubbed her wrist that was beaten red and said, "I don't need you to teach me this......"

Tang Zhihang sneered and attacked again, but Akizuki Tsunako had no way to fight back, so she could only keep blocking.

"Miss Tsunako, come on!"

"Come on, Miss, don't lose!"

Listening to the cheers of the students in the gym, Akizuki Tsunako couldn't help but show a helpless wry smile, she realized the gap between the two, how easy it was to not lose herself.

"As I just said, it's a competition, but it's not a joke. Tang Zhihang said: "You represent not only you, but also the dignity of your Qiuyue family, if you lose in front of so many students like this, your Qiuyue family ......."

Before Tang Zhihang finished speaking, he was hit on the head by the mask I threw over, and he looked at me and wondered: "Why are you beating me?"
