Chapter Fifty-Six: The Situation in Kyushu!

Dongdong Fish House. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Xiao Bai sat on a stool and lowered his head to eat sweet and sour fish, while Dongdong sat opposite and watched him quietly.

It was already early, and after Xiao Bai told Gu Changan and Xiaoxue the news, he practiced with the two of them for an afternoon.

"Sister Dongdong, today's fish is so sweet, I like it so much!" Xiao Bai raised his head and spoke.

Dongdong picked up a tissue, gently wiped the sauce from the corner of Xiao Bai's mouth, and said, "Just like it, I'm afraid you won't like it when you grow up." ”

Xiao Bai laughed, reached out and touched his head, and said, "How come?" The sweet and sour fish made by Sister Dongdong, I can eat it for a lifetime! ”

Dongdong held his chin and looked at Xiao Bai quietly, and smiled lightly.

Xiao Bai has a little dependence on Dongdong in his heart, because when he was a child, only Dongdong loved him like his parents, which made Xiao Bai feel like a relative to Dongdong.

"I've finished eating Sister Dongdong," Xiao Bai pushed away the fish plate, got up and said, "I'm going back to hurry up and cultivate!" Thank you, Sister Dongdong! ”

Xiao Bai poured half of the coins in the money bag on the table, and without giving Dongdong a chance to refuse, he turned around and ran outside.

"Sister Dongdong, thank you for your hospitality!"

Dongdong looked at the pile of coins on the table, bent his eyes and laughed, what a stupid child, then I will collect it for him first.

Just after eating, Xiao Bai was walking very slowly on the road, and he was thinking about something about the game.

This time, the world's No. 1 kendo conference requires that only new swordsmen can participate, why is there such a rule?

The kendo tournament, which is held every four years, has never had such a rule, but what kind of information does this special rule reveal?

When Xiao Bai was in the swordsman school, Cheng Yu always told him that as a swordsman, he must be broad-minded, take a long-term view, and look at things not only on the surface, but also on the essence from the small to the earth.

Since this kendo tournament requires new swordsmen to participate, could it be that Kyushu wants to test the strength of each state?

Xiao Bai knew in his heart that this kind of conjecture was very possible, but he still didn't want to guess in this direction, because if this was the case, then under the surface of this test of strength, what was hidden was a war full of killing.

In recent years, relations between Kyushu have become less and less like before, and they are secretly seeking allies.

Among them, Yuzhou, which is located in the center of the world, is the strongest, while Jizhou in the north and Yangzhou in the south are equally powerful, closely behind Yuzhou, as for other large states, there is a gap in strength, and the overall situation is "one state is dominant, and the two states are balanced".

Faced with the different circumstances in which they find themselves, the major states have adopted different strategic approaches.

Both Jizhou and Yangzhou adopted the method of "cooperation and verticality" to win over the surrounding small states to form a strategic friendship relationship, and to use the weak states to counter the strong states; The powerful Yuzhou adopted the method of "connecting horizontals", using its own large state background as a backer to attack those small states.

In recent years, although there have been no large-scale wars between Kyushu, there have been one after another skirmishes in the dark.

The undercurrents of power in various states are surging, and they are all watching the actions of other states, and the Nine Great Sword Mansions are constantly expanding the scale of the Sword Mansion to better prepare for the war.

Xiao Bai stood under the street lamp and glanced at the shadow stretched by the light, and a sense of loneliness suddenly appeared.

He still remembers very well what the false willow told him in the woods that night.

"Xiao Yi, his father, is his name Xiao Yi?"

Xiao Bai stretched out his palm, let the light hit his palm, and stood there in a quiet daze.

Yuzhou, located in the center of the world, has become the largest state in the world by virtue of its own geographical advantages, but the most important reason for this is not from Yuzhou itself, but from the relationship between Jizhou and Yangzhou.

If these two large states could join forces, or even if one state came forward to delay the development of Yuzhou, such a situation would not have occurred now.

The reason why the two big states did not cooperate is very simple, Yangzhou launched a sneak attack on Jizhou decades ago, and almost wiped out the entire Water Village with the Sword Mansion, so the two big states formed a feud.

Xiao Bai stood under the street lamp, shook his palms quietly, his eyes stared at the shadow, but his thoughts had already run to the sky.

Why would he be his son?

Xiao Bai has always used a smiling face to hide the pain in his heart, but whenever he lies alone in bed in the dead of night and the family is reunited, he always involuntarily thinks of his life experience.

He had always longed to know more about his parents, but when he really knew his father's identity, he was heartbroken and in extreme pain.

Xiao Bai didn't expect that his father must be a very powerful person, just ordinary, but providence made people, his father was not only extraordinary, on the contrary, he was also a swordsman who moved the world.

Governor of Yangzhou and Governor of the Sword Mansion of the Village of Fire - Xiao Yi.

Xiao Bai has been avoiding this fact, the education he received from childhood to adulthood in the Water Village is all about the fact that the Water Village and the Fire Village are mortal enemies, and they are incompatible with fire and water!

Therefore, in Xiao Bai's heart, he has always regarded the swordsman of the Fire Village as an enemy, and he has more or less hatred.

But one day he suddenly discovered his true identity, Xiao Bai really couldn't accept it, and he couldn't break free from this contradiction for a while.

On the silent street, the boy stood under the street lamp, and his eyes couldn't help but moisten a little when he saw that thousands of houses were lit up.

Xiao Bai dragged his tired body and slowly walked towards home.

No matter who their parents are, they must love themselves very much, and since they have survived, they cannot live in vain.

Learn the best swordsmanship in the world, become a blockbuster swordsman, and you will definitely be able to do it!

Xiao Bai gritted his teeth and walked hard with his head down, the seeds of desire that he desperately wanted to grow and become stronger were planted in his heart, and one day, it would bloom into brave flowers.

"The body of the snake demon?"

Xiao Bai stretched out his hand and pressed his chest, hooked the corners of his mouth and whispered: "Even if you are a snake demon, you must be honest and obedient to me, otherwise-"

"I'm going to kill you!"

Xiao Bai's face was serious, without the slightest hint of banter.

At the same time, thousands of miles away, at the head of a city, a young man climbed the city to the north and looked at it with a cold look in his eyes.

"Young master, all the people who will participate in the conference have been selected."

A middle-aged man behind the man arched his hand and spoke.

The young man looked quietly to the north with handsome eyebrows and eyes, and was not in a hurry to reply.

"Young Master?"

The young man closed his eyes and whispered, "Twelve years." ”
