General Ashikaga Yoshiteru clapped his hands, and the two people competing in the field immediately stopped shouting. They put away their wooden knives, saluted the lord of the stage together, and then walked out of the field, also standing on the side.

"Kira Xuanjing?" Ashikaga Yoshiki spoke slowly.

"Yes...... The ministers should be wise and wise to the covenant of His Highness, and come to receive the ruling of the Princely Palace. I bowed my head and replied.

"You have contributed a lot to the war in Yamato, and Yu is very pleased."

"The palace of the Duke of Meng's palace is blue-eyed, and the minister is deeply honored!" I replied respectfully.

"Yu has understood your intention." Yihui nodded and instructed the attendant beside him, "Go and fetch Haiyue!" ”

"Xie Gongfang's palace is clear!" I hurriedly thanked him.

It was so easy to settle that I couldn't even believe my ears. Could it be that what the general is asking for is just an attitude? So as long as I come to Kyoto, it's enough?

"But......" the general dragged out his tone.

Sure enough, there is no such cheap thing...... I hurriedly leaned over and waited for the adult's next step.

“…… Haiyue is a famous sword, and you can't have it without enough bravery! He continued.

"Please show your Highness." I know he's going to have a problem.

"Valin Hideshige!" He shouted.

"Your Majesty is here!" A samurai in his mid-twenties walked out.

"You can try the bravery of His Highness Kira!"

"Yes." He was ordered to walk into the middle of the field.

Seeing this, I sighed secretly. Ashikaga Yoshiteru has always been famous for his kendo, and is known as the "Sword Shogun". The people under him will not be bad at all in swordsmanship. However, if I want to get Haiyue back, I can only play...... Alas, I wish my force was worth enough.

"Please ask His Highness Valin to teach me." I took a wooden knife and bowed to him.

"Wait." Ashikaga Yoshiki made a gesture, called another attendant, and gave a few gentle commands. The attendant nodded in response, took two knives and sent them to the field.

A real sword and a real sword competition?!

"Lord Gongfang!" Unexpectedly, my opponent was the first to protest.

"As a samurai, don't you know how to use a sword? What kind of samurai is that! General Yoshiki rebuked, "Or are you going to disobey Yu's orders?" ”

“…… Your Majesty doesn't dare! Valinxiu bowed heavily.

"Then let's get started...... Ashikaga Yoshiteru nodded at me, "Kira, Varin is a samurai that Matsunaga Dan values very much, you can't take it lightly, you must go all out!" ”

The samurai that Matsunaga Dan values very much? What does this mean......

At this time, the other party attacked first, interrupting my thinking. Unexpectedly, the opponent's swordsmanship was not very good, and I easily blocked his moves.

"Ahh He shouted, sword in both hands pressing down, trying to crush my parry with force.

I took two steps back, turned over, withdrew my sword, and then stood across my chest. He couldn't hold his back and almost stumbled, but before he could stabilize himself, he immediately pounced again, like a crazy slash.

Only at this level, what kind of bravery can you try? Oh, and if you want me to do my best, does this general think my swordsmanship is so bad?

By the way, Matsunaga Dan is a samurai who is very important...... So, this Varin Hideshige is the person who shows Matsunaga? Maybe maybe even someone from the Matsunaga Hidefaction who was watching around General Yoshiki?

I suddenly understood that what Shogun Yoshiki wanted to see was not my bravery, but his inclination towards him and Matsunaga Shu. He wanted to see if I would be afraid of Matsunaga Xiu, and if I had the courage to offend this strongman who controlled half of the country. Perhaps, there is also a subtle meaning that forces me to express my position.

Thinking of this, I once again framed Valin Xiuzhong's moves, and said loudly: "Please take a look at the bravery of the foreign ministers!" ”

After saying that, I turned the defense into an attack and pressed the opponent's knife moves hard. The other party's height was nearly a head lower than mine, and his strength was not as strong, and he was immediately pressed back a few steps by me. I kept up quickly, always keeping the pressure on him. His face was visibly flustered, and he finally fell to the ground with an unsteady foot.

"Drink!" I swung my sword vigorously and took off his head.

"Good!" Ashikaga Yoshiteru clapped his hands and praised, "Sure enough, he is a brave man!" ”

"The order of the palace is to go all out, and the ministers should obey themselves." I have a wordy answer.

As he spoke, the previous attendant had already fetched Haiyue, and Valin Hideshige's body was also carried down, and the pool of blood was sprinkled with fine sand.

"Such a brave person, Yu admires it very much, and he has to have an exchange," Ashikaga Yoshiki took Haiyue and ordered loudly, "All go down, don't interfere with Yu exchange swordsmanship!" ”

"Lord Gongfang!" Ninagawa hesitated.

"Why, do you doubt Yu's swordsmanship? Want to give it a try? Ashikaga Yoshiteru pulled the sea moon out in half.

"Don't dare...... Your Majesty Retires! He hurriedly complied with the order and retreated with the others.

As a result, only Ashikaga Yoshiteru and me were left in the entire martial arts training field.

"Kira, come forward." Ashikaga Yoshiteru sat down on the throne again.

"Yes." I went up to the front desk and sat down in front of him.

According to etiquette, I could only stay at the bottom of the steps, and I was not qualified to approach the shogun like this. Seeing me so calm, the appreciation in General Yihui's eyes was a little more.

"To be able to defeat Valin is worthy of a brave warrior. As a member of the public, this person has always been domineering, but he didn't expect to die under your sword. ”

"The palace of the public is falsely praised. This person's swordsmanship is not outstanding, and he can show off his martial arts, but he just relies on the power of Matsunaga Xiu. ”

"Oh, aren't you afraid of offending Matsunaga?" Ashikaga Yoshiteru looked at me with interest. He didn't mean to be upset about my bluntness.

"Back to the Gongfang Palace, the power of the Matsunaga family is indeed very large, but there is nothing to fear. Moreover, since the palace has an order, the foreign minister naturally goes all out. I replied.

For all parties in the current Ki area, Matsunaga Xiuquan is outstanding, almost indulging the entire Miyoshi family, and he is a figure who has to be feared. But I know that Matsunaga Shu will soon be hostile to the trio, and his wings will gradually dissipate, and his good life will not be long left. Not to mention that I'm in Ise in Tokaido, but also in, and with my current strength, there is a lot of room for maneuver.

"Hmm...... Faithfulness is commendable! Ashikaga Yoshiteru was noncommittal. I think he probably thinks I'm talking about it. Matsunaga Shu is a person who has to be feared as a shogun and a pillar of the world's samurai.

"The foreign minister is blunt." I owe it.

"Is that so?" He nodded, "This battle, Mitsuhide said in the letter. The Kira family's army is well-groomed and brave, and it is indeed a rare force. ”

"Serve the Gongfang Palace, and do your best." I said.

"So, tell me what you think! Regarding this war, there is also the situation in Kinai. ”

"This ...... The status of a foreign minister is low, how can he talk about such a big thing in front of the palace of the princess? ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say that. Let Yu see your knowledge and strength. ”

"Yes." I bowed again, and then continued, "In the battle of Kyokoji Temple the year before last, Matsunaga, as the deputy general of Miyoshi Yoshiko, commanded the 60,000 troops of the Miyoshi family to attack His Royal Highness Hatakeyama Banshu. At that time, His Royal Highness Banshu was still able to gather 40,000 troops from Hanoi, Yamato, and Kii to meet the battle, but unfortunately he could not resist the attack of the Miyoshi family...... After this battle, only Yamato Bankoku in Kinai could still serve the shogunate, and this war in Yamato was actually a contest between Gongkata Hall and Matsunaga Hide. If the Furuichi and Juchi clans supported by the Matsunaga family win, all the forces in that could support the Kokata Hall would be wiped out...... The ministers are terrified! ”

Hearing my words, Ashikaga Yoshiteru's face became very ugly. There was silence for a long time before he nodded: "You can have this insight." It's really rare...... Even so, aren't you afraid of the power of the Matsunaga family? ”

"The bravery of the lower ones, the Gongfang Hall has also seen it." I said.

"Really? Oh, yes! Ashikaga Yoshiteru laughed, "Then, Haiyue will be relieved to leave it to you." ”

"Thank you for the generous gift of the Gongfang Palace!" I took Haiyue with both hands and rubbed it on the scabbard with joy.

This knife is the only connection I have with the original world, and it is also the opportunity for me to come to this era. It has been nearly six years since I was forced to sacrifice this sword, and my strength has finally been taken seriously and I have taken it back from the shogun.

Even though I knew that Yoshiteru, as the shogun, didn't actually have much strength, I was still very excited to be able to do this and get Kaiyue back.

Pulling out the sea moon, the sword light is still so bright...... Suddenly, I reacted and hurriedly apologized to Ashikaga Yoshiteru: "It's really offensive to draw a sword in front of the Gongfang Palace!" I beg your pardon! ”

"It doesn't matter! Kira is a straightforward person, Yu will not blame, "Seeing my performance, Ashikaga Yoshiki looked very satisfied, "Everyone in the world knows that Yu loves famous swords, and this knife is indeed deeply appreciated by Yu. However, Yu admires a loyal person like Xiang Jiliang with great insight and loyalty. ”

"The love of the palace of the princess, the foreign ministers are inscribed within."

"If Kira needs to uphold righteousness, how much power can he provide?" He asked suddenly, looking me in the eye earnestly.
