Chapter 7 A Chance Encounter That Was Not Accidental

There was a crunch. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

With the eyes of the even-handed, I could only barely see that Marume Nagae's wrist shook three times.

Then came the so-called "murderous aura" that was felt that time.

The small tavern suddenly became unusually silent, and the air seemed to freeze.

The knife was unsheathed, drawing several strange arcs in the air, although there was a sequence of orders, but the speed was too fast, and it was impossible to distinguish the order of sounds.

Bang!

The copper plate in the tavernkeeper's hand suddenly fell to the ground.

The time of solidification is only now flowing again.

The three wild warriors were knocked to the ground almost at the same time, and in the same posture they caressed their right arms, wailing continuously.

If there is still a strong wail, at least there is no fatal injury. After all, it was only with a scabbard, and although the pain was unbearable, it was only an injury to the flesh and bones, and there was no risk of disability.

In this era of treating human life like a mustard, Marume is still a little benevolent.

Anyway, these three people knew at a glance that they were ordinary ronins, and they would not have the ability to return to retaliate, let alone kill them.

"If you don't learn and don't know how to do it, if you dare to insult the way of the sword, you won't be able to use the sword for a year." Marumme Nagahui's eyes were cold, and he swept over the three people in front of him, "If it was three years ago, I would definitely take off your arm." ”

Then he sighed lightly, and the edge around him disappeared in an instant.

Marume sat back in his seat, the owner of the brewery and his men were still sluggish, and the two tables of merchants immediately left the money and slipped out.

"Three years ago? What happened to the Tibetan Zo at that time? ”

Fanxiu asked casually.

"I met the only swordsman I saw in my life."

As he spoke, Marimome's eyes flashed with a rare look of reverence.

Jianhao? Could it be ......

"This person's name is Bungoro Keikane, and he is a disciple of the sword saint Kamiizumi Isemori. Before I met Mr. Kaida, although I had been learning swords for more than ten years, I only knew how to fight bravely and ruthlessly, leaving no room for it. After meeting Mr. Kaitian, he realized the supreme realm of swordsmanship. ”

"What kind of realm is that?"

"The sword intent is like Zen, and the cultivation of the mind is the top, but after the distracting thoughts, the mood can be Dong Ming. Kamiizumi-sama's 'no sword', Tsukahara-sama's 'living sword', even so. ”

Fanxiu couldn't hear it clearly, so he could only reply vaguely: "The so-called stopping of fighting in the Ming Kingdom is roughly like this!" ”

"Your Highness."

Although what he said was not the same thing, Marumme still responded casually.

At this time, the three wild warriors just now had already paid the money and ran out, but on the other table, one of the two dusty young warriors approached.

"The two adults are really divine martial arts, can you bother one or two below?"

The young man bowed down to give a salute, a respectful and elegant smile on his face.

When Fanxiu and Marume first entered the door, they didn't pay attention to the faces of the other guests, and they were surprised when they raised their heads to face the young man at this moment.

What a beautiful man who is as gentle as jade!

The young man's face is white and beardless, his facial features are only slightly exposed a little edge, his hands are folded in front of his chest, his palms are hidden in his sleeves, and the flank around his waist is also tied up with a turquoise belt.

"Please be seated." Fanxiu replied absentmindedly and indifferently.

Looking at this kind of dress, most of them are the sons of a wealthy family, so polite, the first thought is that it is the three families of Asakura, Ouchi, and Imagawa.

However, if he is really a noble samurai, how can he only carry an inconspicuous peer by his side?

In any case, in the face of Marume Nagae's terrifying swordsmanship, it is not easy to take the initiative to come forward and talk.

"Shopkeeper, add a cup."

With this in mind, Fanxiu was a little more enthusiastic, owed, and beckoned the young man to sit down.

"Ah...... Be! Be! The owner of the brewhouse, who had been sluggish for a long time, came back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly went to the back to get a cup, but accidentally knocked over the wooden stake at the door.

The young man bowed in thanks, and then began to inquire:

"I wonder where you are going?"

"Traveling around the world, taking in the terroir, there is no definite place to go." Fanxiu responded quietly.

The adult laughed. Looking at Your Excellency's strength, it doesn't look like a ronin. ”

"It's not uncommon to be far away from the rivers and lakes, and you still care about the temple!"

…………

In the face of this sudden stranger, Fanxiu's words were only vague and ambiguous. The other party tried repeatedly, but gradually became a little anxious.

"The adult's road is uneven, and the heart of benevolence and righteousness is admirable, but ......," the young man said suddenly, "the villain acts in every way, and cannot be neglected. ”

Marume Nagae chuckled lightly, with disdain on her face: "Are you still worried about their revenge?" ”

"With your palace's skills, naturally you don't have to worry." "But if those thieves take their anger out on this innocent liquor house......

The owner of the tavern was just about to hand over the new glass, and at this point, he couldn't help but fall to his knees in fright.

"Adult Help......

Although the young man's words were said to Fanxiu, he also deliberately let the owner of the wine house hear it.

Fanxiu became a little interested in his heart, so he said to the boss: "Haven't you met a wild samurai who made trouble before?" ”

"Back to your lordship...... the boss frowned, "Omi has been peaceful here for several years, if there are thieves, just report to the samurai master of the Rokkaku family, but this year ......"

"How's it going this year?" Fanxiu looked directly at him.

"I heard it is...... Something happened to the lord of the Rokkaku family and the lord of the Asai family, so there was a little mess......" The boss looked at the guests in front of him in horror, and he didn't know which side of the samurai they were, so he could only be careful with his words.

"Don't worry, I'm just passing by, neither a rokkaku nor a samurai of Asai." Fanxiu said with relief, and motioned for the boss to get up.

"Yes, thank you, sir."

Maybe Fanxiu was too kind, the boss breathed a sigh of relief and got up to answer.

According to the owner of the sake house, in the past few years, the Rokkaku family, which controls Minami Omi, has been paying close attention to commerce, and has sent people to protect the trade routes, and there are almost no thieves in the territory. It's just that the relationship between Rokkaku and Asai has suddenly become tense recently, and naturally he can't pay attention to subtle things.

Of course, Hiraite Fanxiu knows what this is all about, and the current head of the Asai family, Asai Hisasa, is just a keeper, and he is a vassal to the Rokkaku family to keep the peace of Omi. However, the young master of Asai who has just come of age, Asai Nagamasa (still called Kenmasa at this time) is unwilling to surrender and tries to get rid of the control of Rokkaku.

In this way, although Asai Hisamasa is weak, he is a rare benevolent monarch for the common people, and the heroic and decisive Asai Nagamasa brings disaster.

"I have an idea to help the sake house avoid the harassment of the wild samurai." The boy spoke suddenly.

"Oh?" Fanxiu couldn't help but look sideways.

"Please teach me,......" the brewery owner fell to his knees again.

"The first thing to do is to spread the word about today. Let everyone around know that there is a swordsman with strong swordsmanship who taught the ronin who is looking for provocation a lesson. ”

"Yes......" The owner of the tavern looked confused.

"Then use a screen to separate a room in the brewhouse." "Then set up a smashed table in the hall, and when the ronin with bad intentions came in, he ordered the guy to serve the wine and food, and said, 'Lord Jianhao is not in a good mood today', and the ronin will not dare to make trouble." ”

"Thank you, sir!" The owner of the sake restaurant is overjoyed.

Fanxiu nodded slightly, noncommittal.

The young man looked sideways at Fanxiu's expression, and then continued:

"However, this kind of small means can only live in peace for a while, and the solution once and for all is to move to a safe place."

"That'...... I ask you, where is the place of peace? If it's a location like Kaimachi, it's not just anyone who can get in......" The boss's face turned gloomy again.

"Suruga, Echigo, and Owari are all places where merchants live." The boy said three place names while observing the expression of the flat hand.

What an interesting young man, but ......

"Shopkeeper, check out."

When he spoke, his face was still as usual.

"This ...... Why are you embarrassed to ask adults for money? ”

Fanxiu chuckled lightly and raised his hand to throw out two silver swords.

"No need to make change."

The value of two silver crates is about one hundred and sixty wen, and the price of the wine and food on the table is definitely not one hundred wen.

The store is very grateful.

"Tibetan Zo, you can go on your way!"

"Yes."

The two went straight out, and the young man was stunned for a moment and hurriedly followed.

"Your Excellency, please stay!"

Fanxiu had already reined in the horse's reins, but stopped to look at him at this time.

"This is not a good day, and this place is not a beautiful scenery, so why force a new resignation?"

The meaning of this sentence has vaguely revealed something.

"For adults, the beautiful scenery can be obtained again, but for the next, it is fleeting."

The boy stood in front of the horse, his gaze suddenly hardened.

"If there is a fate to meet, why be persistent?"

Fanxiu was a little moved, but he still didn't let go.

The boy sighed, his eyes softening.

"I can't hide it, I and my brother escaped from the family in order to avoid trouble, and for several months, it has been unsustainable." In this way, the person sitting at the table just now must be his brother.

"So what exactly is Your Excellency ......?"

"Omi Kawada is a long family, I hope to join the command of adults." The boy bowed and replied.

Kawada Nagako? I remember that there was also this person in the Warring States games of later generations, and his ability was also good. But he's a retainer of the Uesugi family, so why is he from Omi?

Fanxiu has no doubt about the authenticity of the boy's identity, because the name "Kawada Changqin" is not famous at all, except for the tie Fanxiu, no one will hear of these four words, and there is no need to pretend at all.

"What adults are worried about is nothing more than the exposure of their identities." The young man suddenly took a few steps closer and said softly, "It's better for adults to make a bet below, if you can guess the identity of adults in Xia, even if you win, how about it?" ”

Fanxiu raised his eyebrows: "You can really guess my identity." ”

"Your Excellency must be from the Oda family." The young man's tone was very sure, "If you are not a member of the Owari Mamoru (Oda Nobunaga), you must be one of the two Niwa and Hirate!" ”

Fanxiu was shocked, and Marume's first reaction was to press his right hand on the hilt.

PS: Kawada Nagakin, born in the Omi wealthy family, defected when Uesugi Kenshin went to Luo, climbed to the position of an important minister from a servant boy, and has performed in many aspects of military and political diplomacy, and is a very versatile talent.

As for Marume Nagae, there is no need to introduce it.
