"Who is so presumptuous?!" I shouted out the door. Because the topic just now made me feel a little upset, my tone unconsciously hardened.

"Back to ...... Returning to the lord, ......," replied a close attendant outside the door. "Maeda-sama is competing with people outside the gate, and it's already ...... It's been half a day! ”

"This guy! You can't stop for a while! I cursed hatefully, then got up and walked out of the house, with the Takenaka half-guard following me.

The place where the accident occurred was at the gate of the inner city, and at this time a large circle of people had been surrounded, most of them samurai who were not on duty. In the distance, the clanging of weapons could be heard from inside the circle, and the crowd around them erupted in earth-shattering applause from time to time! Maybe the scene inside was too exciting, and no one noticed when I and Takenaka's half-guards came outside the circle.

"Awesome!" Audience A watched and communicated with his companions. "This kind of competition is really rare in a hundred years, and the degree of motivation completely exceeds that of the real battlefield!"

"It's more than intense!" Slightly shorter audience members have to stand on their toes from time to time. "Maeda-sama's martial arts have always been loyal and respectful, and I can't imagine that I won't be able to take this boy for so long! It's not easy to look at him, but I'm afraid that the victory or defeat is really not certain! ”

"How could Maeda-sama lose? Don't talk nonsense! Audience A hurriedly retorted to him. Maeda-sama has been in battle for a long time, how can his experience and insight be compared to such a hairy boy? In my opinion, Maeda-sama wants to touch his bottom, or maybe he cherishes this junior! But this young man is not simple, he has such martial arts at a young age, and he will definitely be a tiger general in the future! By the way, where is he? How I've never seen one! ”

"I don't know!" Audience Member B thought for a moment and shook his head. "I also rushed over when I heard the news, and I didn't see the beginning, otherwise how could I be in such a backward position!" He still looked sorry for him. "But seeing that he is not wearing a uniform, and he doesn't have any insignia, he may be a wild samurai who just came to serve!"

"Such fierce generals are vying to vote, it seems that the Zhuxing family is really famous!" Audience A said excitedly. "But it's no wonder! For more than a year in the area, the most famous martial artist will belong to our lord! ”

Even though I'm not an arrogant person, it's still enjoyable to hear people compliment behind their backs. "Ahem!" I coughed and patted Audience Member B on the back of the shoulder. "I'm sorry, please borrow a light!"

"Why don't you come earlier if you want to stand forward?!" Audience B, who is struggling with his height, is obviously not in a good mood at the moment.

"Lord!" Our conversation caught audience A's attention, but his whispered exclamation didn't attract much attention. "Bastard! Make way for the lord! He kicked the spectator hard while he was sideways.

"Ah~!" Audience Member B also saw who I was after a moment's errand, stood behind me, apologized to me, and dispersed the crowd in front of me with Audience Member A. I recognized it when I saw the straight face, they turned out to be the head of the cavalry unit, no wonder they admired Maeda Keiji so much.

Takenaka Hanbei and I walked into this "human alley", and in the center of it had been circled an empty field about four feet in diameter, where the fight was going on. Seeing the actual situation with my own eyes, I realized a truth, that is, "people can't believe their words!" "The judgment of the two ashigami heads is definitely seriously affected by subjective factors, and Maeda Keiji's ability is not a little worse than others. It's not that my professional level is so high that I can tell the good and bad of martial arts at a glance, and it's not that I'm sincere in squeezing Keiji Maeda, but the scene that is presented in front of my eyes - he and Shima Katsu Takeshi are fighting one in two!

I saw the "Dadiantai" in the hands of Maeda Keiji tightly guarding the body, it should be said that his moves are quite different from the past, and the gestures are quite delicate and steady, completely changing the usual style of opening and closing, even if the occasional attack is also a slight dip and retreat, never hard with the opponent. But even so, he saw sweat on his face, and if he didn't pay attention and collided with the opponent's blade, his body was crooked. Although the expression on his face was still hippie and smiling, and he still said a few cool words to ridicule his opponent from time to time, I saw that the green tendons on his temples had jumped up.

What Shimakatsu was holding in his hand was not the Kikuchi gun used in battle, but just an extremely ordinary saber. After a few brief observations, I found that the opponent was not actually targeting him much, but it seemed that he was even more anxious than Keiji Maeda. He obviously attacked far more often than Keiji Maeda, and many times the timing was not very ripe, apparently trying to distract his opponent and take the pressure off Keiji. As the battle continued, even I could tell that his strategy was not very successful.

Looking at their opponent again, it turned out to be only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, with a round face and a tiger brain, and it was full of childishness. He was dressed in a very simple green coat and held a giant spear more than four meters long. Whether it is the shape at a glance or the sound of the collision, it is unmistakable that this is a genuine "heavy guy", but in the hand of the young man it seems to be a thatched stick, dancing not only ingenious tricks but also without the slightest sound of the wind, the black and shiny gun is like a black dragon circling and flying on the side of the young man, with teeth and claws as if he intends to choose someone to devour. The boy didn't know what to do with Maeda Keiji, a gun kept beckoning him, and he only knocked a few times on the island of Katsutoshi as a last resort, but it may be that Shima Katsumo's strength is indeed inferior to him or because he didn't hold a worthy weapon, and Shima Katsutoshi tried not to touch him! The most peculiar thing is that this young man is still carrying a burden like a big drum.

"Lord, did you tell them to stop first?" Takenaka Hanbei said as he stood beside me.

"No hurry!" I shook my head in denial, as a matter of course, the opportunity for Keiji to make a fool of himself is not something that comes often. "Don't you see them having a lot of fun? Recently, they have been working too hard, and it is rare to have this kind of 'pastime'! ”

"You...... Ay! He shook his head and sighed, looking back at the officers on duty who had passed the gates. What's going on? Why did the fight start? ”

"Returning to Lord Takenaka...... "Although he was also elated, it was obvious that this officer had not forgotten his duty." Half an hour ago this young man came here to enter the city, and when I asked him what he had come for, he replied that he wanted to fight as a soldier! That's when Maeda-sama came, and he said...... He said...... "At this point, he glanced into the middle of the field.

"What did he say?!" Takenaka Hanbei asked sharply, obviously this is the crux of the matter.

Maeda-sama asked him if he was weaned and said if he would wet the bed at night!" The officer was embarrassed when he said this.

"What's going on with the island-sama?" I'm not surprised that Keiji Maeda would say something like that, it was just a harmless joke to him. How did Katsutoshi join the island? He's not such a fool!

"Back to my lord!" The officer turned to me. "Soon after they started fighting, Lord Maeda came, and before his subordinates explained the situation, Lord Maeda shouted and said: Let him try this new kid together, you may not be able to withstand it and so on! The island may have thought it was just an ordinary exam, so he just got out of the field and didn't want to stick to it. ”

"Hmm......" I nodded. Maeda Keiji usually doesn't consider other people's feelings when he jokes, and afterwards he is afraid that things will not be big enough, but fortunately, Keer Caizang is not here now, otherwise I don't know how far it will develop! After understanding what happened, I turned my head again, the situation in the field has reached the stage of being in full swing, and I can firmly gain the upper hand under the attack of Keiji Maeda and Katsutoshi Shima, this is indeed a tiger general, but I don't know what his origin is. Looking at me, I suddenly felt that he was a little familiar, and when I thought about it, his eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Xianzhi.

At this moment, the boy took advantage of the opportunity to pick up Katsu Shima with the handle of the gun diagonally, and the huge head of the spear slammed into Keiji Maeda. Maeda Keiji couldn't dodge one by one, so he had to grit his teeth and fight, "Dangchang!" Then he sat down on the ground. The boy saw the opportunity to sweep with a gun, and it was too late for Shima Katsutoshi to come to the rescue!

"Stop! Shinhachiro! "I finally remembered......
