Chapter 735: Challenge Escalation
Li Zhen's order was stopped because Zeng Guofan and Zuo Zongtang jointly admonished him.
However, ten taels of silver were sent down as a subsidy to every soldier in the army. This move immediately won the support of the soldiers in the army, after all, ten taels of silver is not a small amount.
The army was still stationed at the harbor, while Li Zhen had been living on Nagasaki Island and controlling the situation remotely.
Two days are fleeting.
On this day, the street leading to Li Zhen's residence was crowded with countless Japanese people. In front of these people, there was a group of warriors in black samurai uniforms, striding forward. Almost all of these warriors are middle-aged, and some of them are even quite old, but they are all full of spirit and spirit, revealing a fierce momentum.
This group of people is none other than the samurai of the Yagyu family.
The old man at the head is the little hero of the previous generation of the Yanagi family.
He led the warriors of the Yanagi family, and after leaving the mansion, he went straight to Li Zhen's residence. The little hero of Yanagi went to Li Zhen's residence to meet the battle, which aroused the interest of hundreds of people, because two days ago, the little hero of Yanagi asked Taro Yanagi Hara to promote and incite. Now that the little hero of Yanagi has come out with a samurai, the momentum is already very hot.
Yanagi Hara Taro said respectfully: "Father, the people are scrambling to follow behind, and they are already looking forward to this battle. If you defeat Li Zhen in this battle, your reputation will increase without limits. When the time comes, my father will raise his arms and shout, and countless people will respond, which will be very beneficial to my father's next plan. ”
Liu Sheng's little hero said: "In this battle, the old man will win." ”
"Old hero Liu Sheng, you must defeat Li Zhen. Shake the prestige of our country and defeat Li Zhen. ”
"Yanagi Tiger, win!"
"Little hero Yanagi, you are my idol. You once swept the Japanese martial arts world, and now you challenge the martial artists under Li Zhen, and you will definitely win. I believe in you, and I believe you can win. ”
On the street, shouts came and went.
Emperor Komei, Yoshida Shoin and others got the news and quickly rushed to the place where Li Zhen lived. Both teams arrived first, and then waited at the gate for the little hero of Yanagi to come.
The shouts are approaching.
Emperor Komei and Yoshida Shoin looked solemn and looked at the place where the voice came from in the distance.
When the little hero of Yanagi appeared in sight, everyone's hearts were raised. Soon, the little hero of Yanagi arrived outside the post house where Li Zhen lived. Emperor Xiaomei personally walked up to the little hero of Liu Sheng and said: "King Zhennan came to Japan with an embassy to help Japan, which is full of disasters and difficulties, not to cause trouble, I hope that the old patriarch of Liu Sheng can show mercy to his subordinates and try to save some face for King Zhennan." ”
The little hero of Yanagi didn't dare to show disrespect, and said respectfully: "Your Excellency the Emperor, you know the whole story. It's not that the old man wants to cause trouble, it's that Li Zhen insists on forcing the old man to fight, otherwise Li Zhen will destroy the Liu Sheng family! ”
Emperor Xiaoming nodded and sighed lightly.
Yoshida Shoin walked over and said in a deep voice: "Old Patriarch Yanagi, this battle is very important to you, and it is also very important to the future development of Japan. I hope that the old patriarch can show his majesty and defeat Li Zhen. ”
The attitudes of Emperor Xiaomei and Yoshida Shoin are completely different.
The little hero of Yanagi flashed and said: "Thank you Yoshida-kun for your support, the Yanagi family will not fail." In a word, it showed the attitude of the little hero of Liu Sheng, he led people into the mansion and walked straight towards the hall, waiting for Li Zhen to receive him.
Backyard, in the study.
Zhao Liewen said respectfully: "Lord Wang, Emperor Xiaoming, Tian Songyin and others have arrived, and the little hero of the Liusheng family has also entered the hall with a group of martial artists, waiting for you to receive them." ”
Li Zhen said: "Don't worry, let them wait." ”
It took half an hour to wait.
Li Zhen appeared slowly, waving his hand to let Emperor Xiaomei, Takasugi Shinsaku, Yoshida Shoin and others all take their seats. Liu Sheng's little hero Ang Shen stood in the hall, with a proud face, and said with a full of anger: "King Zhennan, the old man led the warriors of the family to fight, I don't know who the King of Zhennan plans to send to fight?" ”
"Who are you?" Li Zhen asked.
"You ......"
When the little hero Liu Sheng heard Li Zhen's words, he felt like he had swallowed phlegm in his throat and couldn't spit it out, which was extremely uncomfortable. Unexpectedly, Li Zhen didn't know who he was, which made the little hero of Liu Sheng feel very ridiculous. The little hero of Liusheng had a straight face, and said in a deep voice: "The old man is the little hero of Liusheng, the patriarch of the previous generation of the Liusheng family. ”
"Oh, it turned out to be Mr. Yanagi, disrespectful! Disrespectful! Li Zhen said very casually.
Seeing that Li Zhen didn't say anything about the competition, the little hero of Liu Sheng changed his mind and said in a deep voice: "Dare to ask the king of Zhennan, who provoked the person who broke the tendons and tendons of Liu Sheng's sword, please come out and see him." ”
"It's me!" Yang Jianhou stood up and said.
The little hero of Liu Sheng stared at Yang Jianhou, his eyes showed a fierce light, a pair of small eyes flashed with a ruthless light, and said coldly: "You are a person under the command of the King of Zhennan, but you can't be wanton and murderous." As the saying goes, you are forgiving and forgiving, but when you are a young man, you are already acting fiercely and without kindness. The old man taught you today and let you know what martial arts are. ”
"Old man Liusheng, you are bold enough to educate the people of this king."
Li Zhen understood that Liu Sheng's little hero wanted to sweep his face in public, because the matter had developed to this point, and there was no room for the two sides to turn back. At the same time, Liu Sheng's little hero's words angered Dong Haichuan, a hot-tempered old gentleman.
Dong Haichuan took a step forward and shouted: "It's a shame that the old man Liu Sheng is old, and he is still disrespectful to the old." If you have the ability, let the younger generation of the Yanagi family fight, and see my little nephew wipe out all the people of your Yanagi family. Hehe, if you have the guts, the old man can also play with you. ”
Dong Haichuan was full of momentum and murderous intent, no longer an old man with a withered face, but a martial arts master with plenty of qi and blood, which made the faces of the little heroes of Liu Sheng change greatly.
The little hero of Liu Sheng was a person who walked out of the tired bones, and quickly calmed down and said in a deep voice: "The old man is here, and he will definitely fight you in a while." But now, as you said, let the younger generation kill this person who dares to provoke the tendons and tendons of Yanagi's sword. Yanagi Takeshi, when you fight, you are only allowed to win, not to lose! ”
A middle-aged man with a strong appearance walked out and stood in the hall.
Seeing this, Li Zhen watched with interest, not worried at all. Previously, Li Zhen had learned the details of Yang Jianhou from Yang Luchan. After listening to Yang Luchan's words, Li Zhen was extremely surprised, because according to Yang Luchan's statement, Yang Jianhou's cultivation was an inner family boxing, which was no less than Yang Luchan, which showed that Yang Jianhou's realm was high.
In addition, Yang Jianhou has also practiced various martial arts, even if his comprehensive strength is not as good as Yang Luchan, but he has surpassed his brother Yang Banhou, and is faintly on a par with the great master Long Zhen under Li Zhen.
"Please!"
Liu Shengwu Dalang said a word, pulled out his long knife and rushed towards Yang Jianhou.
The struggle between the two sides has escalated, from the bloody struggle of the younger generation to the struggle of the older generation, and even involves the change of the situation in Japan, and it is no longer an ordinary struggle.
