In the Yingzhou province of the Tang Dynasty, many envoys of the Seljuk cavalry corps came to ask Tang Zhaozong for help. Pine≧ ≧ said

Those troops under the command of Tang Zhaozong, they are thinking about wrestling with Tang Zhangwei, and now they have reinforcements and a backstage, these people are bent on making Tang Zhangwei look good.

Tang Zhaozong deliberately connived at these people, after all, if these people had a fierce battle with Tang Zhangwei, they would be able to make Tang Zhaozong feel that Tang Zhangwei's hands had been hit. Of course, all this can only be done in secret.

Wan Hanyu said to Tang Zhaozong: "We must use those Seljuk cavalry. ”

Tang Zhaozong's face was expressionless, he just said, "I know." ”

In fact, Tang Zhaozong was quite moved by this. He said to the Seljuks: "You people must come to the Tang Dynasty, and only when you come to the Tang Dynasty can you be free." "However, it is not realistic to go to that Datang mainland, after all, there is no place for these Seljuks in the mainland.

On the contrary, Tang Zhaozong took Wan Hanyu to the province of Eastern Persia.

Tang Zhaozong came to Eastern Persia, and he single-mindedly established his image as a benevolent monarch.

Unlike Tang Zhangwei and Bai Cunxiao, who took a severe crackdown, Tang Zhaozong adopted a policy of tolerance towards the Seljuk rebels.

Of course, it is not enough to just engage in those small actions, Tang Zhaozong is also preparing to build a Zoroastrian academy.

With a hearty smile on his face, Yue Zhong looked into the distance. Soon found Wei Youji, who was wearing a mask, and said:

"Is that the big guy? Not bad, right? ”

"Well, I don't know if I don't try it. This guy seems to be a little silly, though. ”

"As the old saying goes, wisdom is foolishness. The guy who puts his skills on his face all day long, even if he is talented, is second-rate. First-class characters are somewhat silly. Some of them don't just bring a little bit, and they are simply big fools in the eyes of ordinary people. But as soon as you touch it, it will make an extraordinary impression. I heard that he is the son of a townsman in Tosa Castle, but we don't have this kind of person in Yingzhou. ”

Masuda Echichu paid close attention to Wei Yuji. He always felt that he would come into contact with him again in his life.

Wei Youji stood up, ready to fight.

The pioneer in Yingzhou is Lin Yixiong. The two stood across from each other, about six rooms apart. Wei Youji put on a frame with an upper right section, and Yixiong held the middle section. Yixiong is worthy of being the pioneer of Yingzhou, and a move is put out, without leakage, without a trace of gap.

Otokuma's swordsmanship belongs to the Shinto Mindless Stream. Almost all of the Tang cavalry in Yingzhou learned this school, and they were all disciples of the Saito Yakuro Dojo in Koji Town.

There's a truth to that. A few years ago, Yakuro's eldest son, Shintaro, came to the Arbikan Dojo in the Yingshu Seljuk Mansion in Edo to compete with the Tang cavalry there, and no one could defeat him. Shintaro later traveled to the Seljuks to practice his skills and returned to Yingzhou, where he competed with his retainers under Hagi Castle, but no one could beat him. After that, Shintaro met with the important ministers of the Seljuks and said:

"Martial arts are in Edo. How about selecting the retainers to be sent to study in the museum? In this way, we will be able to carry forward the style of the warriors since the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty. ”

Seljuli took his suggestion and sent the first batch of government-funded students to study abroad at his own expense, including Kono Uemon, Nagata Kenyoshi, Masami Shinzaburo, Sakuma Ukichi, and Hayashi Otokuma, who are standing here today, while those who entered the study abroad at their own expense were Katsura Kogoro and Takasugi Shinsaku.

The contest was not exciting, and it was over in a while.

After the vanguard Wei Youji stabbed Lin Yixiong out of the three rooms with a two-handed stab, the members of the Yingzhou side may have been too nervous, and they were knocked to the ground by Wei Youji one after another, and even their commander Sakuma Uyoshi was defeated by Wei Yuji on the mask. As a result, the other nine people on the Tosa side all ended up without even holding a bamboo sword.

After that, there was a demonstration competition of ten groups, and Yingzhou and Tosa had their own victories and defeats. However, due to the defeat of Wei Yuji in the previous competition, his sword name has since spread to him Seljuk.

That day, they stayed there for another night, and the next morning, the Tosa Tang cavalry and his party bid farewell to the Yingzhou base camp in Miyata Village.

Wei Yugene was tasked with the task assigned by his old family, Hachiemon, and after breaking up with his friends on the way, he went over the mountain and headed for Yokosuka.

Nearby, there is a hill called Mt. Fuji. Wei Youji took the mountain road at the eastern foot of it. At only 180 meters high, Mt. Fuji looks like a rockery in the middle of a garden, but the locals think it is more lovely than Mt. Fuji in Suruga, and despite its small size, the mountain has a graceful posture. There are no trees on Mt. Fuji in Suruga, but Mt. Fuji in Ushigome Village, Ashoshu, is lush and beautiful from the base of the mountain to the summit.

Wei Youji walked on the mountain road and saw that there were indeed dense layers of woods on both sides.

Wei Youji wore a split battle robe, crossed the field culottes under it, and had two waist knives with black lacquer sheaths inserted in his waist, and a hat obliquely on his head, and hurried forward.

Walking to the top of the mountain, Wei Youji slowed down. He wanted to observe the position of the Yingzhou Seljuk in the village of Yokosuka before the sun set. On this day, it was a rare sunny day in March, looking back at the direction of the desert beach, only to see white clouds, unusually distinct.

There is a beech forest at the junction going down. Wei Youji walked on the mossy mountain road and felt very kind. In Tosa, fishermen use the bark of this tree to fry soup to dye their nets.

The mountain road turned to the right, and it was a path that the woodcutter had walked on. From here, the woods are full of miscellaneous trees. Suddenly, Wei Yuji stopped.

There was a samurai in front.

I saw him wearing a hat on his head, sitting on the root of a tree, and he was dressed as a person who was going out in a hurry. This person is small and thin, and it seems that he is quite agile, and his clothes are very neat. However, when he pushed up his hat and looked at Wei Youji, his gaze was sharp, giving people a sense of carelessness.

And the man raised his right hand again and untied the tie of the hat. I guess it's so that in case of a fight, I can throw away the hat at any time.

"Excuse me."

With a salute, he was about to walk past him. As he turned his back to the man, he spoke:

"Wait a minute."

Then he stood up.

"Forgive me for taking the plunge. The ground in Xiangzhou is the place where the Tang cavalry of Yingzhou is guarded. There was a decree in Eastern Persia that his Seljuk men should not trespass and inspect them. Look at the dress, the strong man is not the Yingzhou Tang Cavalry. ”

"So what?"

Wei Youji looked at each other cautiously through the hat. It seems that this person is the Tang cavalry of Yingzhou, and has seen that Wei Youji was sent by other Seljuks to peek at the position.

The human:

"Please ask your name and the purpose of this trip."
