I just had the pleasure of being very rich, and suddenly I found that the money was spent very tightly, and Tsukahara Molong, who had always had a vague concept of money, was deeply shocked. At this moment, a crimson figure appeared at the city gate: thirteen cavalrymen in red armor! From a distance, it looks very strong compared to the surrounding Ashigaru.

A familiar term jumped into my mind: Takeda Akabei! However, Tsukahara Molong immediately ruled out this idea, how could the Takeda family's Akabi team enter and leave Ueno Country so casually?

"Oh, it's Kohata-sama!" Kotaro Kikuchi hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and his words instantly confirmed the identity of this group: The current strongest army in Ueno Province - Kohata Akabei! Historically, the Kohata family, as the head of the Ueno Province samurai regiment, has the best horse-producing land in Ueno Province, has the most mobilization power in Ueno Province, and has the most powerful Red Reserve Army in Ueno Province.

Although Kohata Kenshige is only a young man, he has inherited the family business of the Kohata family, and this time he heard that the first sword lord in the Kanto region, Tsukahara Bu, came to Minowa Castle, and immediately put down what he was doing, and rushed to the cavalry with a few red reserves. On the way here, I heard that Uesugi Kenmasa agreed to Nagano Yoshimasa's request to form the Minowa people, and also allocated 20,000 kan as military expenses, which immediately made Kohata Kenshige extremely angry. For the Nagano family, the Kohata family has always been not in the right way, feeling that the other party is from a humble background, but in a short period of time, they have used it to rise and become the largest force in Ueno Province. But after all, it's not a samurai family, and although the Nagano family's mobilization power has surpassed that of the Kohata family at the moment, if it really comes out to fight, the Kohata Red Reserve will teach these hillbillies how to fight. Once the Minowa group is formed, the Nagano family's combat effectiveness will inevitably take a qualitative leap, and then it will be a big deal!

As soon as he entered the castle, Kohata Kenshige handed the reins to Kotaro Kikuchi, turned over and dismounted, and walked straight towards the castle tower. At this time, Tsukahara Moryū, who was tall and handsome in civilian clothes and carrying a four-foot Tang knife at his waist, stood out very conspicuously in the middle of a group of ashigaru with an average height of only 1.5 meters. Kohata Kenshige's first reaction was that he had taken the wrong path: Minowa Castle was a heavily guarded place, so how could there be untouchables hanging out here? Even if you ask for a background, you can only wait for a summons in the castle town. But then he reacted, and his eyes immediately shone brightly: there is nowhere to find it when he steps on the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it! Kohata Kenshige immediately stepped forward quickly and showed a friendly smile: "Need my help?" ”

Well? Tsukahara Muryu was a little uncomfortable with Kohata Kenshige's sudden enthusiasm, but after a turn of thought, he understood his plan. Immediately, he also showed respect and gratitude: "You are really enthusiastic, in Shimotsukahara Molong, I don't know which adult you are?" ”

Tsukahara! Kohata Kenzhong's face remained unchanged, but a monstrous wave was set off in his heart: Is this kid the son of Tsukahara Buchuan? Didn't you hear he had a son? But this surname alone is enough to show his close relationship with Tsukahara Buden. "In Shimokuni Peak Castle, Kohata Kenshige."

"Oh! You are the commander of the Megatron Red Reserve Army, Lord Kohata! What a disrespectful thing! Tsukahara Moryū instantly showed an expression of shock and adoration, which greatly satisfied Kohata Kenshige's vanity, making Kohata Kenshige more and more pleasing to the eye. However, Tsukahara Molong knows that his identity determines the degree of the horse's fart, and after the shooting, it will be photographed on the horse's leg. Then he showed a look of embarrassment, as if he wanted to speak and stopped.

Kohata Kenshige can naturally see the abnormality of Tsukahara Molong, of course he will not let go of this opportunity to get close and pull feelings, and hurriedly said kindly: "If there is anything difficult to say, it is still very convenient for my Kohata family to do things in Ueno Country." ”

Tsukahara Molong said tentatively: "I grew up in the dojo since I was a child, and I yearn for the way of the martial artist's bow and horse. I've long heard that the Kohata family is the number one samurai in Ueno Province, so I want to ask for an adult, but I think it's really abrupt......"

"Hahaha, what's the trouble? You and I hit it off at first sight, and this kind of thing is indispensable. My Kohata family has the essence of Ogasawara-ryu bow horses, and the knights trained are all first-class masters! "Kohata Ken saw that Tsukahara Molong was speaking honestly, and he couldn't help but have a good feeling.

Tsukahara Molong immediately hit the snake and thanked him again and again, "It's really unrequitable!" In this case, I will take the adults to meet my master, Tsukahara-sama. ”

"Where, where~what?!" As soon as Kohata Kenshige, who wanted to be polite, heard that Tsukahara Molong was willing to introduce Tsukahara Buchuan to himself, his eyes immediately straightened, if it weren't for his identity, he probably planned to burn incense and worship Tsukahara Moryū. As for the meeting with the lord...... Don't worry, anyway, the leader is in Minowa Castle, and he can't run.

The matter of introduction is simple, anyway, the people of Minowa recruited by Nagano Yemasa are far from being gathered, and there is no way to talk about training, so Tsukahara Buden and his disciples live in Joshita Town. In order to make Tsukahara Buden work better, Uesugi Kenmasa also specially built a dojo.

For Tsukahara Buchuan, it is nothing to teach more people, anyway, there are very few people who need him to teach, and most of the tasks are completed by disciples. So after pretending to be embarrassed by Kohata Kenshige's request, he agreed. When Kohata Kenshige said that he would go to meet the lord Uesugi Kenmasa first, and then return after a while, Tsukahara Buden did not object, but let Tsukahara Molong stay.

Tsukahara Molong knelt in front of Tsukahara Bu Chuan for a long time, and Tsukahara Bu Den didn't speak, just closed his eyes silently. It is estimated that the time will drag on any longer, and Kohata Kenshige will come back, and Tsukahara Bu Chuancai opened his eyes helplessly, only to find that Tsukahara Molong was actually asleep! was about to scold, but Tsukahara Moryū opened his eyes as if he sensed something. "Master thinks what I'm doing is inappropriate?"

Tsukahara Bu Chuan snorted coldly: "I have pursued kendo all my life as a teacher, and I originally planned to let you inherit my mantle in the future, but I didn't expect you to be interested in being a samurai!" ”

"Can kendo only be realized in the dojo?" Tsukahara Molong asked with a smile: "Master also often travels the world and understands kendo, which shows that kendo is not about form, but about inner understanding." With a sword heart in your heart, you can achieve enlightenment anywhere. ”

"Huh?" Tsukahara Bu Chuan raised his eyebrows, his eyes showed a look of surprise, obviously he didn't expect Tsukahara Molong to say such a thing, which was too much in contrast to the hard-working young man in his impression.

"Now Mo Long has the courage to ask Master: What is Master's Kendo?" Tsukahara Molong's eyes are shining, where there is still a little immature young man's appearance, and the temperament of his whole body suddenly becomes very different.

"The way of heaven and man with a sword." Tsukahara replied without hesitation.

"My sword is to use my sword to cut through this troubled world!" Tsukahara Molong said slowly in Tsukahara Buchuan's shocked gaze. Tsukahara Buchuan, who has seen countless storms and waves, changed color for the first time, obviously not expecting Tsukahara Molong Zhizhi to be here. "One day, the time will come, and I hope that everyone will be able to use a bamboo bag knife instead of a katana. As for the night now, I'll cut it off. With that, Tsukahara Molong knelt down in front of Tsukahara Buden, waiting for his decision.

Tsukahara Bu Chuan looked at this young man who grew up with complicated eyes, and the scenes of the past came to mind, and for a long time, Tsukahara Bu Chuan sighed: "I can't imagine that the strength of my life and the way of the sword I have learned are not as good as my teenage disciples." It looks like I'm really old...... Mo Long, you have surpassed me, Katori Shinto-ryu, please leave it to you! As he spoke, Tsukahara Bu Chuan bowed his head to Tsukahara Molong, which he hadn't lowered for decades.

"Hah!" Tsukahara Moryū, who was approved by his master, shouted excitedly, he understood that in the future, behind his back, there would be the entire Katori Shinto stream!
