Chapter 13 (The Undefeated Family).

After Takeda Nobukazu walked to the Iya Tsuii, he walked all the way east, passing by a dimly lit stone alley. The stone alley is full of a deep atmosphere, very quiet, and the sea is as deep as the sea. I saw that the stone walls were covered with fresh moss, and there were traces of ants, birds and beasts crawling from time to time, and there were still several families scattered in the stone alley, and several families had already generated faint smoke. A few children were hiding in the stone alley. The children chased and played with each other, and the clothes they wore were all shabby, and the bodies of the children were also emaciated, but they played very energetically, and often had lively smiles on their faces.

Takeda Nobuwa walked into the stone alley, only to see the figures of the children passing through Takeda Shinwa. Nobukazu Takeda looked back at the children, and one of the youngest girls had run to the end. Because the girl was the youngest, her legs and feet were not as fast as the older children, so she often ran last. The little girl was passing through a very shaky stone road, but she couldn't cross it because of her short legs, and accidentally fell in front of Takeda Shinkazu. Takeda Shin and the big brother slowly squatted down and helped the little girl up. The girl fell and soiled her clothes, so she hugged her head and cried...... Nobukazu Takeda slowly comforted the little girl. Takeda Nobukazu's voice was very gentle, the little girl was still crying, and Takeda Nobuwa smiled again when he saw that this trick didn't work. Said

"If you don't cry, change something for you. ”

Only then did the little girl rub her eyes and see the big brother in front of her. Takeda Nobukazu smiled at the little girl, and the little girl smiled at Takeda Nobukazu, and the little girl's smile was very cute, and the smile was as cute as a crescent moon, and the missing front teeth in the little girl's mouth were also exposed. Takeda Nobuwa patted the dirty mud on the little girl's body, got up and walked to the edge of a straw, pulled out a few straws, and walked all the way in the direction of the little girl, weaving the straw in his hand.

"Give you ......"

Nobukazu Takeda crouched down and handed the little girl a grass bird. The little girl was so happy that she didn't cry anymore when she took the straw bird. The little girl smiled at Nobukazu Takeda again. The little girl said

"Thank you, big brother......"

Then the little girl ran to her companion. Takeda Nobuwa got up and wanted to leave, but at this time there was an old woman sitting in front of the door. The old grandmother's face was very peaceful, and the old woman smiled at Takeda Nobukazu, who bowed to the old grandmother when he saw this. The boy left, and he walked alone, and his vision suddenly opened up after walking through the stone alley......

Seeing this, Takeda Nobukazu took a detour and walked to both sides of the street, and I don't know how long he walked, and came to a small mountain temple that was uninhabited. Located on the outskirts of Edo, this temple was built to worship the gods, and Takeda Nobukazu knelt in front of the mountain gods and began to pray. At this time, a person interrupted Takeda Nobukazu's prayer, and this person said: "I can't imagine that Takeda Nobukazu, who kills people without blinking, will also pray~!"

Takeda Nobukazu did not ignore this person, but focused on praying to the mountain god, and the man was very unhappy when he saw this, and said, "I always thought that people like Takeda Nobuwa would not believe in such things......"

"yes, I thought you Kurokawa Dutaki wouldn't come to me."

Nobukazu Takeda slowly got up and looked back at the man, who was very young, with bronzed skin, silvery-white hair, and a deep scar on his chest. Dressed in a set of black and white clothes, he is very strong and has two swords, one is black and the other is white. The man's surname was Kurokawa, his name was Duanki, and he was a friend of Takeda Shinwa for many years.

In the bamboo forest, the wind blows in the wind, and there are insects and birds in the depths of the bamboo forest. But the two of them were as still as water, without a trace of conversation, silent, both of them were very silent. Nobukazu Takeda stared at the man and spoke

"Why are you here!"

"Shouldn't I come?"

Kurokawa Duanki spoke very bluntly without a hint of hesitation. Takeda Nobukazu knew that person was not simple, and martial arts were not under Takeda Nobukazu. In the bamboo forest, the wind ruthlessly blows the bamboo leaves, and the bamboo leaves fall slowly, Takeda Shinwa said

"Are you here to kill me?"

"It's not!"

"And what are you doing here?"

"If I had killed you, I would have done it a long time ago"

Takeda Nobuwa smiled, his smile was cold, Kurokawa Duanki and Takeda Nobuwa had a battle three years ago, and in that battle, Takeda Nobuwa slashed Kurokawa Duanki's chest with a black knife, leaving a deep knife mark. Since that war, Takeda Nobuwa has left Crescent Village and wandered around alone. Takeda Nobuwa said again

"Then why don't you do it?"

"Because I don't think I have to do it now"

"Why?"

"You killed the eldest son of the Jing Yi family, do you think the old master of his family will let you go!"

"I know!"

Kurokawa Duanmu looked at Takeda Nobuwa and he knew that Takeda Nobuwa was the one who would definitely kill the Ii family, but this time Takeda Nobuwa was unlucky and didn't kill his old master. Kurokawa Duanmu said: "If you don't leave, many people will come to kill you"

"I know!"

"You know, you know it's still here! If you die, are you worthy of the beautiful woman who has been waiting for you?"

Nobukazu Takeda didn't say anything back, but when he heard this, he was silent all the time. Kurokawa Duanmu said again: "She has been waiting for you for three years, do you want her to wait for you for a lifetime!" Takeda Nobukazu seemed to think of the story of the old man and the girl, Takeda Nobuwa said: "A life is too long~ I just want to spend the day and night"

"You know that, too!"

"I know"

"Then why don't you go back and go back to Crescent Village?"

"I can't go back, I chose this path, I never thought I could go back......"

"You selfish fellow!"

Kurokawa Dutaki has been abusing Takeda Nobukazu, but Kurokawa Dutaki also knows Takeda Nobukazu. Takeda Nobuwa was burdened with too much hatred, as if Takeda Nobuwa was born to take revenge! For the undefeated Takeda family and the mission of the Takeda family! Takeda Nobuwa said: "It's okay no matter what... But now I still have one more thing to do!" After saying that, Takeda Nobuwa looked at the mountain god in the mountain temple, and wondered what this young man was thinking? Kurokawa Duanki saw him and asked, "What's the matter?"

"There's one more person, I didn't kill!"

"Who?"

"The old master of the Ii family!"

"You're still going! you're going to die."

Takeda Nobukazu smiled coldly and said, "Maybe~" The wind rose, the wind blew the young man's hair, and Takeda Nobuwa lowered his eyes with a different expression. Two butterflies flying by the wind fluttered in this bamboo forest, they were so free...... Takeda Nobukazu raised his head, the wind continued to blow the boy's hair, Takeda Nobuwa looked at the two butterflies flying around, and whispered, "I envy their ......."

"What are you talking about?"

"Nothing!"

Takeda Nobukazu knew that as a ronin, once he chose a knife, there would be nothing else. What a ronin needs is a hand and a knife! But at this time, the young man's eyes were very envious of those two butterflies, they were so free, no pressure, no hatred. I saw Takeda Nobuwa bowing his head and saying nothing. I don't know what the boy was thinking.

I saw Kurokawa Duanmu walk to Takeda Nobukazu's side and say to him: "Even if you kill the old master of the Ii family, what are you going to do next" Takeda Nobuwa turned his head and stared at Kurokawa Duanmu and said: "Go to Datang"

"Datang!"

"Yes"

Kurokawa Duanmu's face was very surprised, and he said, "What are you doing in Datang, there is a war with foreign races over there!"

"For the sake of the glory of the Takeda family, I want to take it back again"

"You madman"

"Our Takeda family is undefeated, it was, it is, and it will be in the future!"

Kurokawa Duanki didn't understand Takeda Shinkazu's behavior. And Kurokawa Duanmu didn't know that it was since Takeda Shingen, that is, Takeda Shinkazu's father, who was originally the general of Emperor Shenmu, and was later killed by traitors, and the Takeda family fell into the middle of the family, and the Ii family who framed his father also had a share, and Takeda Shingen had to "return the knife" with this inferiority complex because his wife and children were seriously ill, thinking of cheating some money to treat his wife and children at home. As a result, Takeda Nobuwa hated Emperor Jimmu and his ministers since he was a child, and began his own path of martial arts and cultivation since he was a child.

Seeing that Nobukazu Takeda was so firm in his beliefs, Kurokawa Duanki asked, "Then when will you do it!"

"Do it tonight!"

"Tonight?"

"Yes, tonight!"

"Looks like I'm going to go with you guy."

Takeda Nobukazu looked at Kurokawa Duanki, he would say such a thing to himself, and said, "You go with me?"

"Yes, of course~ I don't want you to die in the hands of others, especially in the hands of that kind of person!"

Takeda Nobukazu smiled and didn't speak, Takeda Nobuwa knew that although Kurokawa Duanmu was cold-blooded, he was the same kind of person as himself, Kurokawa Duanmu had a very withdrawn personality since he was a child, but this person was very talented in martial arts. Kurokawa Duanki hasn't had many friends since he was a child, and some may be two friends, Xiumi Hanako and Takeda Shinkazu. Takeda Shinwa said, "Are you sure you want to die with me?"

"Of course it's nonsense, but if you die, forget it~ I don't want you to die in their hands, because I'll kill you with my own hands!"

Takeda Nobukazu smiled, but he knew that what Kurokawa Duanki said was true, there was a chance that Kurokawa Duanki would really kill Takeda Nobukazu, and from childhood to adulthood, Kurokawa Duanki wanted to kill Takeda Nobuwa for more than three hundred days a year, and this was a duel between the two of them.

Takeda Nobukazu smiled: "I thought that your Kurokawa family has always been known for bows and arrows, why do you use a knife?"

Kurokawa Duanmu smiled when he heard this, looked at Takeda Shin and Kurokawa Duanmu Nuannuan and said, "Do you know the difference between drinking and drinking water?"

"I don't know"

"Drink water, the more you drink, the colder it gets!"

Takeda Nobukazu looked up at the sky and said, "I originally thought it would be difficult to kill someone, but I didn't expect it to be so easy~"

"It's because you're worrying too much~"

"Is it~"

In fact, Takeda Nobukazu knows that it is really easy to kill someone, but sometimes he hesitates...... At this time, an east wind was blowing in the sky, and the two teenagers were silent in place, quietly listening to the sound of the wind, Takeda Shinwa said: "I used to hear that man say that if you have any troubles, you can say to the wind, and the wind will continue to drift with your troubles......"

"Who are you listening to, who will talk to the wind if you have nothing to do!"

"I also forgot~ but that person died ...... the scriptures"

"Really?"

Takeda Nobuwa smiled coldly and bowed his head softly

"yes~"

At this time, dusk passed under Jingyun Mountain, a touch of red sun shone on the faces of the two teenagers, and the wind seemed to be a little quiet, Takeda Shinwa said: "Let's go"

"Okay!"

The two teenagers glanced at each other, and both knew what the other meant, and Takeda Nobuwa and Kurokawa Tanki were about to go down the mountain...... The target is the Ii family!
