Chapter 5: Thieves and Swordsmen
"Ladies and gentlemen, all the lords spare their lives, and the villains are also forced to do so!"
The thief lay on the ground and screamed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Do you want to say in the next sentence that you have an old mother who needs to be supported, and a wife and children who are hungry?"
"This and this...... Your Excellency, you can know before you listen to me......"
"It's a shame for the imagination of this profession." Fan Xiu shook his head and spit out casually, "Didn't you succeed in stealing dozens of pieces last time, isn't it enough for you to provide for your family?" ”
"Because I succeeded once, that's why I will continue to steal it......"
This obscene and cowardly tone is really like a thief who appeared out of nowhere in the market.
"But...... How could they be ordinary thieves who were able to steal gold and silver from the hands of these gentlemen? It's a skilled thief, right? ”
Hirata stared at the short man who was squatting on the ground with his head in his hands, and he couldn't help but think of some wild history or the hero in the biography. In the Oriental cultural circle, there is never a shortage of artistic images of thieves who rob the rich and help the poor, but looking at the person in front of him, it seems that he does not have that kind of temperament.
Speaking of this, Marume Nagae and Kisada Keikan were both a little embarrassed, but Kamiizumi Nobutsuna had no different color on his face and said bluntly: "About half a month ago, when we first arrived in Ise Province, we were robbed of money bags in the town, and there were about twenty gold coins in it, but after we found it, we couldn't catch up with this person. I've heard that these thieves are often seen in Kyoto and Omi, so that's why—"
"...... these days"
"It all relied on pawning a knife to support it."
Pawn knives?
Rao was so depressed, and Shangquan only smiled self-deprecatingly, not impressed.
"Half a month ago? At that time, the villain was still in Settsu Province, so how could he run away to Ise Province? You're wrong......"
"Those who have been practicing kendo for a long time only need to observe the movements, and they will never be mistaken." Marumme Nagae's words contain a strong sense of confidence, making it difficult for unsuspecting listeners to doubt his conclusions.
"But ......," said Fan Xiu, pointing to the suspect, "even if you catch this person, you may not be able to recover the stolen money, right?" Would someone come out with dozens of gold coins to steal? ”
Numata Yumitsu stepped forward and interjected: "Your Highness, I heard that there are some thieves in the area, all of whom are ninja backgrounds, and they specialize in hunting gold, silver, or valuables. But I've only heard about it......"
Born as a ninja, he formed a party.
Although he only said that he had heard about it, this kind of organization, which was supposed to be private, could be "heard", which already showed its influence.
Fan Xiu's face began to become serious, this is not only a simple public security issue, it is likely that there is a certain force behind it.
"Hmph." Seeing that the denial failed, the thief simply stopped pretending, but snorted disdainfully, "What if you catch me?" You can't win against our boss......"
Marume Nagae was suddenly furious: "Didn't you hear it? My master is Kamiizumi Mamoru of Shin Yin Ryu! ”
"What a new yin flow, what a spring or something like that, I haven't heard of it! If you are really so powerful, how can I get my hands on it last time? It's just me just being careless today! ”
"You-" Marume Nagae stared at him with round eyes, but there was nothing she could do. What the other party said is the truth and cannot be refuted, and to beat this person who has no ability to resist is not in line with the style of "Jianhao".
On the other hand, Marume only mentioned Kamiizumi Nobutsuna in his words just now, as if Kamiizumi was the most noteworthy person present, which made the few samurai behind Heite Hatsumi quite dissatisfied. The so-called Sword Saint may have a lofty status in the eyes of those who love martial arts, but in addition to this aura, he is just a ronin who has lost his territory and relies on people to help him, what qualifications does he have to compare with a lord of more than 10,000 stones?
"The name of His Royal Highness Hete Prison can make the whole Suruga fearful, I wonder how your leader compares to Imagawa Jibu?" Such a compelling resignation is actually from the taciturn Ji samurai Ii Naoto.
Fan Xiu heard something not quite right, glanced at the people behind him, and said in a deep voice, "Why do you need to talk to him about this?" It is useless to argue about these vain names. ”
"Yes." Ji Wushi lowered his head in response, and his voice seemed to be a little gloomy.
"You're a tie?" The thief raised his eyes and looked up and down, then still disdainful, "What about the famous samurai?" Isn't it bullying the people? Only we thieves are ......"
"Rogue Warrior?" Fan Xiu smiled when he heard this, and said, "You guy seems to be quite proud of this identity!" ”
"Of course!"
"It seems that you would rather be tortured than give any information."
"That's right, it's better to kill me as soon as possible, I'm from Iga, and I'm specially trained in torture!"
"What a trustworthy person...... Fan Xiu narrowed his eyes, and a strange look appeared on his face, "I wonder if your leader and companions are heroes who attach equal importance to affection?" ”
"Nonsense!"
"In that case, if they knew that you were caught, they would come to the rescue, right?"
"You...... You shameless villain......"
With a wave of his hand, he ordered his subordinates to keep an eye on him, and then invited the three swordsmen to the wine house for a detailed discussion.
"Mr. Kamizumi just said that he came to visit the contemptible people on purpose, so I don't know what you are doing?"
"In fact, I want to seek a chance for the apprentices below to be born."
Out? Is it Fumigoro Buta?
"Are you looking for a contemptible person for this?" Fan Xiu was noncommittal, but moved his eyes to Marume, "In the past, the Tibetan Zuo once said that the sword is a straight thing, and it is better to bend than bend...... Have you changed your mind now? ”
This sentence made Marume suddenly feel a little embarrassed, but he still said bluntly: "I am in confusion now, and I don't know how to choose between kendo, so I plan to continue to practice." ”
"Then I wish you to comprehend the essence of kendo as soon as possible." Fan Xiu raised his glass and drank it all.
"Thank you, Lord Supervisor, for your words."
Then Honhide turned in the other direction: "Then it's Mr. Buta, you-"
"In Shimokita Bungoro Keikane, I hope to practice in the way of joining the WTO." This man, who is about thirty years old, can be regarded as a samurai with extraordinary manners on his own, but standing beside Kamizumi is not very conspicuous.
"Are you going to become a samurai of your family? What do you think? ”
Despite some presumptuousness, Fan Xiu still asked the question bluntly. If it's another swordsman like Marume who will leave at any time because of his cultivation philosophy, it doesn't seem to be a figure worth looking forward to.
"Lord Prisoner, please listen to the explanation below." "Bungoro has been learning kendo with me since he was a child, and I told him that this is an art with infinite meaning, not a way to fight bravely. It is precisely because of this that Bungoro can surpass his peers and comprehend mature kendo, but ......"
"How?"
In recent years, he has not made any progress. After all, each person has his own path of cultivation, and it is not something that the teacher can substitute for the trade-off. ”
"You mean ......"
Keikane Hakita bowed to Fan Xiu and said, "I have asked to go into battle as your retainer to refine the art of war suitable for the battle formation. ”
Why does it feel like this person is the same as Marimome at that time, and he may leave at any time?
Seeing that Fan Xiu didn't answer, Kamizumi himself also bowed down and said, "Please accept this request." ”
……
"It's good ......"
