Every day after that, Yu Qiuyan would practice by the forest where he met Kentaro Tashimi. However, Kentaro Tashimi had already let him practice the basic skills for a month, but he didn't have the slightest intention of teaching him that trick.

Yu Qiuyan himself was not in a hurry, but connected the basic skills step by step. However, the guards of the Hatakeyama family around Yu Qiuyan couldn't wait. They were already very unhappy with Kentaro Tasami, who had released their pigeons for two days, and tried to find fault with them by all means.

"Hey, old man, didn't you say that you wanted to teach that Yuqiu boy any tricks, why don't you teach it!" Morita Sho sat on the stump of a tree on the side, crossed Jiro's legs and shouted at Kentaro Tashimi.

"If you don't practice the basics, you can't learn any moves. If you learn this basic skill well, then you can catch any moves. Kentaro Tashimi didn't take Morita Sho's rudeness to heart, but replied with a smile.

"Then you've been practicing for a month, and we're tired of seeing those postures." Another guard coaxed from the sidelines.

"These basic skills, the old man practiced for a few years when he was a child." Kentaro Tashimi watched those young people coax there, and the smile on his face became more and more kind, "Then it will be many years to practice the starting style of kendo." Where do you think so fast. ”

"Then you can show us a move, a move that only a one-armed man can learn." Another guard shouted, "Let's have hope." Otherwise, it's boring to be outside all day long. ”

"Hahaha... Young man. Kentaro Tian Shen smiled from ear to ear when he heard this, and then clapped his hands, signaling that Yu Qiuyan didn't need to continue squatting, "That's okay, but just this time." ”

"Come on! I'll fight! Morita immediately jumped up excitedly, untied his saber, and handed it to an attendant on the side at any time. He had been unhappy with this Kentaro Tian Shen for a long time, and he couldn't wait to beat him up immediately. "Old man, I don't know how heavy it is, you have to be careful with your old arms and legs!"

"Ah, it's all right, lad." Kentaro Tashin smiled kindly while putting his right hand behind his back.

"What do you mean, old man?" Morita glanced at the old man's right hand behind him.

"Didn't I say that this is a move practiced by one-armed people?" Kentaro Tatsumi laughed twice, "Please." ”

"What?" Morita Evil Xiang was extremely angry when he heard this-an old man who was already in his sixties dared to fight him with one hand? He's also one of the best players in the Hatakeyama family, so he's been appointed to monitor Yuqiu.

Seeing that the old man didn't mean to joke, Morita Evil Sho strode forward directly, stretched out his hand and planned to knock him down. Unexpectedly, Kentaro Tatsumi just twisted slightly, grabbed his right big arm with his left hand, and then quickly pressed his knee against Morita's joint, and slammed it hard. Morita Evil Sho's center of gravity was unstable, and he hurriedly reached out to grab it, but he grabbed it empty and was thrown to the ground.

"What's the situation?" The guards around them, who were sitting on the ground and ready to watch the old man's jokes, stood up one after another, and looked at Kentaro Tanami and Morita Sho who was lying on the ground in amazement. The move just now was obviously not very flashy, but it made their powerful captain fall to the ground directly.

"It's my carelessness to be opportunistic! Again! Morita Sho was defeated in such a humiliating way, and he stood up with an unwilling face and put on a posture against Kentaro Tashimi again.

"No, no, no," Kentaro Tashin only laughed twice when he saw this, "I said that there is only one time, and there is no second time!" When Yuqiu Gongzi learns well, you can see for yourself. ”

In this way, Yu Qiuyan followed Kentaro Tatsumi to practice day and night. Although the basic skills taught by this old man seem to be ordinary, they are more tiring and useful than the basic skills that Yu Qiuyan learned before. Those guards came here every day to watch the rain and autumn and practice their basic skills for half a day, and gradually relaxed. Everyone gradually began to monitor Yu Qiuyan in shifts, and the number of people who went out with him was reduced from a dozen to eight, and then to five. In this scorching heat, Morita Evil Xiang happened not to come today, and the unsupervised guards hid in the shade of a tree in the distance to cool off.

"Yuqiu Gongzi." Just as Yu Qiuyan was struggling to tie up his horse, Kentaro Tatsumi suddenly leaned down, leaned into his ear and whispered, "Have you noticed that you can actually escape now." Kentaro Tashin said as he stretched out his hand and pointed to the horse tied to the tree in the distance, "You run over now, get on the horse and immediately run north." Ling Zun's territory is only a few miles away, and it will be safe immediately. ”

However, after hearing Kentaro Tanami's words, Yu Qiuyan didn't turn his head to look at the location of those guards and horses, but continued to cultivate without distraction.

"What's wrong, Yuqiu Gongzi?" After seeing Yu Qiuyan's performance, Kentaro Tatsumi smiled playfully, "Don't you really plan to take the opportunity to escape?" ”

"Nope." Yu Qiuyan shook his head firmly, and at the same time said in a low voice, "These guards are all good people, and they are willing to accompany them to come out to cultivate every day, but other people will definitely not be so generous." And they are also trusting, so only such a few people are left to guard. If they escape, it will be a betrayal of their trust, and it will be difficult for them to do it. ”

"Hairy boy, how can you understand?" After hearing this, Kentaro Takami chuckled noncommittally, "Do you know that you are the most important means for the Hatakeyama family to check and balance Ling Zun." As long as you can go back, the Yuqiu family can send troops south, take back the judicial power and a large area of territory belonging to the Xiaohao clan, and put an end to this absurd 'separation of powers'." You only think about your momentary likes and dislikes, have you ever considered it for Ling Zun and for your family? ”

"Mr. Rongyu, that has nothing to do with being below." Yu Qiuyan replied calmly like water, as if the affairs of Yuqiu's family really had nothing to do with him.

"Oh?" Tian Shen Kentaro frowned when he heard this, "You are the eldest son of the Yuqiu family, how can the affairs of the Yuqiu family have nothing to do with you?" ”

"The eldest son of the Yuqiu family is the eldest son of the Yuqiu family, and I am me." Yu Qiuyan continued to meticulously maintain the posture of the horse, and at the same time said softly: "I will no longer live for others, and I will no longer live in the eyes of others." In the following just as a person, make what you think is the right choice. ”

is different from Yu Qiuyou's free life, but Yu Qiuyou's life is not easy. The shrewd merchant of Sakai Town was not a humble gentleman like Hatakeyama Takamasa, and he arranged a large number of people to monitor Akiyu at all times, and did not allow him to leave the courtyard where he lived. He didn't even think about going out to exercise, he didn't even think about playing or anything, he wouldn't let him come into contact with strangers, and even reading books had to be bought by merchants in Sakai Town and then handed over to him.

What makes Yu Qiuyou even more desperate is that he now knows nothing about what is happening in the outside world. His world is limited to this small courtyard, and he doesn't know what the battle situation is between the Miyoshi family and the Kono family, how is the Oda family's Ise strategy, and what the Yuqiu family has done recently. The last time he learned about the outside world, he overheard the exchange between the two guards at the door.

His daily recipe was set by the merchants of Sakai Town, and it was not up to him to decide what to eat. In the room, there was not even a single person to talk to, and the guards seemed to have been ordered not to say a word to Yu Qiuyou.

These Sakai-machi merchants were very careful, holding their hard-won power in the palm of their hands like caring for their own children. Their relationship with Takamasa Hatakeyama and Yu Qiupei is different, and the latter's cooperation is also based on trust in each other. The checks and balances of power between these businessmen and Yu Qiuping are purely an exchange of interests. They understand that one of the biggest weights in their hands that can restrain Yu Qiuping is his second son Yu Qiuyou. If something happens to Yu Qiuyou, whether he escapes back to Yu Qiu's house, or he dies unexpectedly and is looted by others, Yu Qiuping can boldly attack Sakai Town and take back the power of the Diet.

If Yu Qiuyu had an accident in Sakai Town, not only would so many merchants from Ishiyama Town, Kawachi and Izumi come to trouble the Sakai merchants, but these Sakai merchants would also be unable to get over it themselves. So they strictly control Yu Qiuyou's diet, and the food they use is the cleanest and freshest, for fear of any problems. Inside and outside Yu Qiuyou's courtyard, there are also many guards and ninjas surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside to protect everything. As for whether Yu Qiuyou will feel very uncomfortable and depressed in his own heart, what does this have to do with these businessmen? They don't think about these human things.

Yu Qiuyou feels like a captive animal. Well, probably a little better than a domestic animal, maybe a canary trapped in a cage. He did everything he could to improve his situation - chatting with the guards, trying to relieve his boredom; Strive to obey all constraints, not to cause trouble to everyone, and hope to be trusted to have a greater range of free movement. However, all these efforts were in vain under the cold violence of the guards. In the end, Yu Qiuyou could only read silently by himself. What books to read, all the time spent every day is spent reading. He didn't know how long this life would last, and he didn't know when he would be able to return to his former free life.

In September, Naoka Ii finally got permission to visit Yu Qiuyu. Yu Qiuyou, a ten-year-old boy, actually cried loudly in the arms of Jing Yi Naohu. In the past few months, his life has almost driven him crazy. He misses home, his parents, his friends, and his brother.

"Oh my God, You'er, are you having such a bad time here?" Unexpectedly, after he told Jing Yi Naohu about his experience, Jing Yi Naohu was taken aback.

"Isn't it all like being hostage?" Yu Qiuyou asked in surprise.

"Yan'er lives a very free life, not only can he go out for a walk and practice every day, but he also recognizes a new martial arts master."
