As soon as Yoshinobu Takeda appeared, the situation on the scene suddenly changed subtly.

Takeda Yoshinobu's Lang Party, as well as the samurai, saw Takeda Yoshinobu in person, and they were all shocked, and their waists straightened up again.

As the son-in-law of the Takeda family, Takeda Katsuyori attended the New Year's ceremony this time, and he was also dressed as a samurai, unlike ordinary generals, he was holding a folding fan, and he also had a little more princess-like elegance between his qi, and Takeda Katsuyori was completely two styles with a fierce atmosphere.

Seeing that it was Takeda Yoshinobu, Takeda Katsuyori immediately saluted him and said, "Meet my brother." ”

Takeda Yoshinobu saw that Takeda Katsuyori was dressed as a samurai, and although he was young, he looked extremely energetic.

With a straight back, a confident and calm attitude, and a rather dignified bearing that is always revealed, it is hard to believe that this man in front of him is not yet twenty years old.

The more Takeda Yoshinobu looked at it, the more jealous he became, and the more he looked at Takeda Katsuyori, the more he felt that he was similar to Takeda Shingen back then.

However, seeing that Takeda Katsuyori was also in front of him at this moment, saluting respectfully, Takeda Yoshinobu's frowning brows eased slightly, thinking that no matter how good Shiro is, he will still be his younger brother after all, as long as he has a righteous name in his hands, he must grovel to himself.

Takeda Yoshinobu smiled slightly and said, "Shiro, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I'm very happy to hear that you have been making meritorious contributions in Nishiueno, but fortunately, you still have my brother in your eyes." ”

Facing the bones in Takeda Yoshinobu's words, Takeda Katsuyori said in a deep voice: "Brother, Katsuyori doesn't dare. ”

"It's good to know." Takeda Yoshinobu smiled weirdly, opened the folding fan in his hand with a pop, and then patted Takeda Katsuyori on the shoulder, and whispered in his ear: "It's a pity that I didn't cut off your military power this time." ”

Takeda Katsuyori's eyes flashed, and he whispered: "This time, my grandfather, the Imagawa family, and the Hojo family proposed to my father together to deprive me of my military power, and it was really planned by you. ”

Takeda Yoshinobu laughed and said: "Yes, but it's a pity that you still escaped, this scene of sending people to assassinate you is very good, even me and my father have calculated it, very good, you won't have such good luck next time." ”

The more Yoshinobu Takeda spoke, the more cold he became.

If you don't know what's going on, from the outside, it looks like two brothers are talking amicably.

Regarding Takeda Yoshinobu's provocation, Takeda Katsuyori was noncommittal, and just stood quietly in place.

The moment the two brothers' eyes met, they were like thunder and lightning with each other, and they both saw a trace of killing intent from each other's eyes.

Seeing that Takeda Katsuyori had nothing to say, Takeda Yoshinobu naturally turned around and happened to see Li Xiao, who was at the head of Takeda Katsuyori.

Takeda Yoshinobu saw that Li Xiao was living next to Takeda Katsuyori, and his face showed a little unhappiness, but then his expression turned gentle, and he said, "Lord Li Xiao, congratulations on becoming one of the members of this family. ”

Li Xiao smiled slightly, although he was very disgusted with Takeda Yoshinobu, he still said with a kind face: "Your Highness Yoshinobu, this is the lord's love for Li Xiao, Li Xiao is naturally very grateful." ”

Takeda Yoshinobu smiled, turned his eyes to look at Li Zheng, who was sleeping in Li Xiao's arms, and said, "Yes, it's quite like Lord Li Xiao." ”

After Takeda Yoshinobu finished speaking, he reached out and stroked Li Zheng's head.

"You are not allowed to touch him."

Just as Takeda Yoshinobu was halfway through his hand, a woman beside Li Xiao said loudly.

Li Xiao turned his head to look at the person who spoke, it was Yuzhen Kohata.

Not only Yusada Kohata, but also Yumi Kohata and the two sisters both bit their silver teeth lightly, glaring angrily at Yoshinobu Takeda.

Only then did Li Xiao remember the scene when he was in Guofeng City before, when Takeda Yoshinobu wanted to forcibly kidnap the two sisters, but as a result, Yumi Kohata resisted with a knife and held Takeda Yoshinobu hostage.

In the end, in order to save Takeda Yoshinobu, Takeda Yoshinobu's subordinates personally killed Yumi Kohata's other younger brother.

So it's no wonder why the two Kohata sisters saw Takeda Yoshinobu with such a resentful look.

And when Yoshinobu Takeda stretched out his hand to touch Li Zheng, although Yumi Kohata was unwilling, everything was based on Li Xiao's position, so he didn't speak.

And Yuzhen Kohata thought of the tragedy in Guofeng City back then, so he spoke directly and took Li Zheng from Li Xiao's arms.

Takeda Yoshinobu was scolded loudly by a woman, and suddenly his face was a little unbearable, and his eyes narrowed to look at the two Kohata sisters, and he immediately recognized the two sisters.

When he saw Yumi Kohata, Yoshinobu Takeda even subconsciously almost wanted to reach out and touch the scar on his neck.

At this time, Li Xiao said loudly: "Your Highness Yixin, this is my wife's sister, I don't understand His Highness's majesty, so I am offended, and I ask Your Highness to forgive me." ”

Hearing Li Xiao's apology, Takeda Yoshinobu stood in place with his hands in his hands, he was originally a narrow-minded person, and if others dared to scold him like this, he would have been dragged out and killed by the samurai under his command.

But at present, Li Xiao's identity is different, he is already the elder of the Takeda family and the identity of a family, and he can't be easily offended before he officially breaks his face with Takeda Katsuyori.

Therefore, Takeda Yoshinobu pressed the tyrannical intent in his chest, but instead showed a smile on his face, and said: "Lord Li Xiao, it's okay, since she doesn't want to, forget it, well, Your Excellency's wife and sister I seem to have seen it in Ueno's Guofeng City before." ”

Li Xiao nodded and said, "Your Highness's surname is really good. ”

Yuzhen Kohata couldn't help but interject: "It turns out that His Highness still remembers that my younger brother was killed by His Highness's subordinates. ”

Takeda Yoshinobu laughed and said: "What happened when he was said was really an accident, but people can't be resurrected after death, so let him pass the past." Li Xiao is the elder of the family, as his wife and sister, you must take him first in everything, and you should no longer remember the past conquests between the two countries, so there is no benefit. ”

After a pause, Takeda Yoshinobu said again: "Lord Li Xiao, I can not pursue the matter of my wife and sister, but I remember that Lord Jibu Shengzi was very fond of this woman at the beginning, why don't I personally represent Lord Jibu today, propose to Your Excellency, and marry your wife and sister to Lord Jibu, Jibu Shengzi, do you agree?" ”

As soon as Katsushi Takeda heard Takeda Yoshinobu's words, he immediately came to his side, his eyes showed greed, and he looked up and down Yusada Kohata, and then said to Takeda Yoshinobu: "I was given the marriage by His Royal Highness, and His Majesty is grateful, and his gratitude is indescribable. His Majesty was very fond of this little girl very much. ”

Yusada Kohata was immediately angry when she saw Katsuzi of the trace, she has always rarely lost her temper, but this time she couldn't hold it back.

At the beginning, it was this trace of Katsuko, after the battle of Shiraneyama, he thought that Takeda was victorious and Li Xiao was killed, so he forcibly abducted himself, intending to occupy it.

Yusada Kohata has never hated anyone since he was a child, but he is an exception for Katsushi Kibe.

Takeda Yoshinobu saw Yumi Kohata's expression, his face showed a cold and fierce color, and then he smiled at Li Xiao in a very gentle tone: "Lord Li Xiao, what do you think?" The Tracebe family is a division of the Takeda family, and it is the elder of the family tree, and it is an important minister for generations, and if your wife's sister marries the Tracebe, it is not considered an insult. This will also greatly promote the harmony between Lord Li Xiao and the Jibu family, and if I report this matter to my father, he will hear about it, and he will definitely personally order it. ”

Although Li Xiao was silent on his face, he already wanted to cut Takeda Yoshinobu into seventeen or eighteen knives in his heart.

Yoshinobu Takeda's move is really insidious, and for a woman, what could be more cruel than the punishment of marrying someone she loys. Yusada Kohata just reprimanded Yoshinobu Takeda, and he was retaliated by him with such a poisonous plan, which shows how his character is.

At the same time, Takeda Yoshinobu also calculated that if Kohata married Sadama and Katsushi Trace, he would be equivalent to a hostage held by Takeda Yoshinobu in disguise, so he would be subject to Takeda Yoshinobu.

In this way, if he helps Takeda Katsuyori deal with Takeda Yoshinobu in the future, he will definitely destroy Kohata Yusada to retaliate.

But Takeda Yoshinobu also knew that Li Xiao would not agree, so he helped Takeda Shinxuan to suppress Li Xiao.

His excuse is very simple, in the name of eliminating misunderstandings, let the traces of Katsushi, who is close to Takeda Yoshinobu, and Li Xiao, who is close to Takeda Katsuyori, marry and deepen each other's bonds, so that they will take care of each other when they start to act in the future.

This is of course the best result for Shingen Takeda, who is all about the internal stability of the Takeda family.

Li Xiao was thinking about the strategy of dealing with Takeda Yoshinobu, and Yuzhen Kohata beside him was already flushed, and said loudly and angrily: "Brother-in-law, I would rather die than absolutely, and I will never marry this bastard of Katsuzu." ”

Katsushi laughed and said, "Bastard, isn't it, Miss Kohata, when I invited you to my house for a drink, I didn't see you refuse like this." ”

Hearing what Katsushi said, the samurai on Takeda Yoshinobu's side also coaxed, raising their heads and laughing.

Seeing this humiliation, Yuzhen Kohata bit her lip with her teeth, escaping a trace of blood, and trembling with anger, almost leaving tears.

At this time, Li Xiao patted her on the shoulder, and said warmly: "The best response to the enemy is not to show the slightest sadness." ”

Kohata Yuzhen nodded when she heard this, looked at Li Xiao softly, and said, "Brother-in-law, I know." ”

After saying that, Yuzhen Kohata showed a hint of determination in his eyes, and said firmly: "But brother-in-law, I would rather die than marry Katsushi Kibe." ”

In response to Yuzhen Kohata's request, Li Xiao nodded, and turned his eyes to look at Katsuzi Jibe, with a fierce look in his eyes.

Takeda Shenglai stood up and said to Li Xiaoyan: "Li Xiao, you don't have to worry about your brother's courtship, just refuse the trace Shengzi, and I will take care of everything." ”

Li Xiao smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, but don't bother, it's easy for me to deal with the success of the trace department." ”

After speaking, Li Xiao turned around and walked in front of Katsuzi Jibe, holding the katana at his waist in his hand.

Seeing that Li Xiao was approaching him and looking unkind, he was suddenly slightly stunned, took a step back vigilantly, and asked, "Lord Li Xiao, what are you going to do?" ”

Li Xiao had a smile on his face, and instead asked, "Lord Jibu, don't be afraid, I'm here to ask you, are you a samurai?" ”

Facing Li Xiao's sudden question, Shengzi was slightly stunned, then stared at Li Xiao and asked, "Lord Li Xiao, what do you mean by this?" Does this still need to be asked? ”

Li Xiao smiled slightly and said, "That's the case, my insider once told me." When their sisters and parents passed away, they were worried about their future. So what are the requirements for their sisters to marry? ”

Traces of the Department of Shengzi obviously thought that Li Xiao, in order to prevent Kohata Yuzhen from marrying him, was ready to ask for a sky-high price, and said loudly: "Lord Li Xiao, the words of the ancestors should not be nonsense. ”

Li Xiaoyan said: "How dare I talk nonsense, Lord Jibu, since you want to marry my wife and sister, you should agree to the conditions of their deceased parents." Do you want to listen or not? ”

Traces Shengzi hesitated for a while, with a hint of cunning on his face, and said: "Yes, if these conditions, Master Li Xiao, you can do it, and my Trace Department Shengzi can naturally do it." ”

Li Xiao laughed and said: "Very good, of course I have fulfilled these conditions, how about Lord Jibu, do you promise or not, as long as you can do it, I will marry my wife and sister to you." ”

Katsushi snorted, "Okay, I promise you." What are the conditions? ”

Li Xiao snorted and said, "First of all, the condition of marrying my wife and sister must be that the other party must be a samurai." ”

Katsuzi waved his hand disdainfully, and said, "Lord Li Xiao, aren't you kidding, my Jibu family is a descendant of the Genji clan, and I am also a famous martial artist in Kai, so of course I am a samurai." ”

Li Xiao nodded and said, "In that case, congratulations to you, Lord Jibu, you have agreed to the first condition." Here's the second condition. ”

When he heard that Li Xiao's condition was so simple, his confidence immediately increased, and he said, "Tell me quickly, what is the second condition?" ”

Li Xiaoyan said: "The insider once said that the person his sister is going to marry, in addition to being a samurai, does not need him to have any illustrious family, nor does he need to know the territory of tens of thousands of stones, but he must be able to shoot bows and arrows, bow and horse, this little trace of the master, can you do it?" ”

Katsuzi raised his head and laughed, thinking that if this condition was placed on the children of the minister, of course it would be difficult so far, but it was not a problem for him, who had received a martial arts education since he was a child.

Traces of the Department of Victory said proudly: "What is this, in the lower martial arts, whether it is bow and horse archery, or martial arts are outstanding." If you don't believe it, Lord Li Xiao, you can give it a try. ”

Li Xiao shook his head and said, "Lord Jibu's bow horse, am I still worried about it?" I am naturally a person who admires this, so I don't have to try, you agree with the second condition. ”

When he heard Li Xiao say this, he burst with confidence in an instant, and suddenly his back straightened, as if he had been raised several centimeters, and asked majestically: "I thought that what conditions are so simple, then what are the other conditions?" Even if I said it, I did it together. ”

Li Xiao showed a mocking smile on his face, but he echoed the words of the trace department: "Lord the trace department, it is really powerful, if you agree with this last condition, you can marry my wife and sister." ”

Katsuzi said impatiently: "What conditions, say quickly, say quickly." ”

Li Xiao looked at the trace of Shengzi, sneered, and said word by word: "This third condition must be skilled in martial arts and be able to fight a hundred enemies!" ”

Traces of Katsuzi were stunned for a moment, and said: "A hundred enemies? You want me to go to the battlefield and ask for a hundred men? ”

Li Xiao said with a smile: "It's not necessary, where to find so many people, but it's still necessary to test it." ”

Katsushi Tracebe secretly felt bad and asked, "How to test?" ”

Li Xiaoyan said: "Yes, there is no basis for what you say, Lord Jibu, if you can win against my retainer, I will admit your martial arts, so I will entrust my wife and sister to Your Excellency, and it can be regarded as letting go of a matter." ”

After Li Xiao finished speaking, Shigang Yiyu stood up quietly, took a step, and said loudly: "Lord Jibu, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”

When Tracebe Shengzi saw Li Xiao's retainer Shigang Yiyu stand up, his face suddenly turned pale.

Li Xiao saw the expression of Katsuzi of the trace, and smiled slightly, the last time Li Xiao rushed to his house to rescue Yusada Kohata, Shigang Yiyu alone put down seven or eight of his people, presumably the scene of that scene should have impressed Katsuzi of the trace.

Takeda Yoshinobu still has confidence in the martial arts of Katsushi Trace, and whispered to Katsushi Tracebe beside him: "Since Li Xiao has spoken, you can go up and fight with his retainers, anyway, whether you win or lose, I can call the shots for you." ”

Takeda Yoshinobu heard that the trace department did not answer, turned his head and saw that the trace department of the trace department did not have the right face, and immediately understood, and asked: "The trace department, are you not the opponent of Li Xiao's retainer." ”

Katsuzi said with an embarrassed face: "Back to His Royal Highness, this person's name is Shioka Kazuha, and he is the proud apprentice of Tsukahara's servants. ”

"What kind of proud apprentice of Tsukahara's servants, how could Li Xiao's subordinates be such a master." Yoshinobu Takeda was taken aback.

Takeda Yi confidently calculated, in this third condition, in terms of martial arts, the trace of the victory is far inferior to Li Xiao.

Therefore, Li Xiaocai used this to criticize the Ministry of Victory.

Takeda Yoshinobu looked at Li Xiao again and said, "Lord Li Xiao, there is no need to compete. It's not abrupt that I propose marriage on behalf of Lord Jibu this time.,I know that you have always had a misunderstanding with Lord Jibu before.,If the two families get married this time.,It can be regarded as the sincerity of reconciliation between the two parties.。 If the two families can be reconciled, this is the blessing of my Takeda family. ”

At this time, Takeda Katsuyori spoke, and he said: "What my brother said is good, but the will of the ancestors must also be observed, if it is Lord Jibu, the martial arts are really not better than Lord Li Xiao's retainers, and this family affair cannot be formed." As for Lord Li Xiao's martial arts, everyone knows about it, and when this lord did not become Li Xiao's retainer, he was competing with Lord Li Xiao, but he lost to the other party, which I can testify. ”

Thinking of this, Takeda Yoshinobu glanced at Katsushi Shibe, angry that he had just said too much, so that he couldn't get off the stage now.

Although the martial arts of Jibu Shengzi are good, they are simply not worth mentioning compared to Li Xiao.

Takeda Yoshinobu turned his eyes, and then said: "Lord Li Xiao, Your Excellency's bravery is a good number in my Takeda family, but the third condition for marrying Your Majesty's wife and sister, if you are the standard, it will be too difficult for a strong person. Could it be that only the samurai who wins your honor in the world are worthy of Ling's wife and sister? So I want to see how your wife and sister can get married. ”

As soon as Yoshinobu Takeda said this, the samurai on his side echoed him.

Li Xiao nodded, admitting that Takeda Yoshinobu did have two brushes, and said, "Your Highness Yoshinobu, what you said is right. ”

Yoshinobu Takeda continued: "As for Your Excellency's third condition, I think I can compromise it, I have seen the martial arts of Lord Kibe, and in the fourth battle of Kawanakajima, he also won the head of three Uesugi family ashigaru in a row, so if it is not the first in bravery, but it can also be said to be a samurai with strong martial arts." So I think the third condition, Mr. Jibe, doesn't have to be tested. ”

Li Xiao said with a smile: "Your Highness Yixin, what you said is right, but please allow you to insist on this point, so be it, the conditions are a little compromised." Trace-sama. ”

Li Xiao looked at the trace of Shengzi, and said with a straight face: "If Lord Trace can catch my Li Xiao's three shots, it will prove that Your Excellency is a warrior with excellent martial arts, how about I marry my wife and sister to Your Excellency?" ”

As soon as Li Xiao said this, the samurai present immediately whether it was Takeda Yoshinobu or Takeda Katsuyori's side were stunned, Li Xiao was only three shots, can he win the battle with the traces of victory?

Although this trace of victory is not a brave general of the Takeda family, he also has two brushes in his own martial arts, and Li Xiao said that three shots will determine the victory, which is too arrogant.

If the trace department can't even block Li Xiao's three shots, there is no need to say that the martial arts are strong.

So this time, even Yoshinobu Takeda had nothing to say.

Jibu Shengzi's face turned red, and he didn't care about anything at the moment, and said loudly: "Li Xiao, you are too blind, three shots are three shots, I will definitely make you regret it." ”

Immediately, the trace department took over Li Xiao's challenge.

And the samurai on both sides of Takeda Katsuyori and Takeda Yoshinobu were also moved by the crowd and watched this competition with great interest.

Li Xiao's courage and superb spearmanship, the Takeda family is naturally famous, and now that Li Xiao can show his skills, these samurai suddenly have the mentality of seeing it.

Immediately, everyone didn't even bother to participate in the New Year's celebration of the museum.

Once the competition was decided, someone immediately took weapons for Li Xiao and Jibu Shengzi.

In the face of Li Xiao's contemptuous challenge, Trace Department Shengzi was furious at the moment, and after holding a wooden knife, he pointed at Li Xiao and shouted: "Li Xiao, I want to fight with you." ”

Li Xiao took off his hunting clothes, went into battle lightly, and after taking the spear, he waved it casually.

Li Xiao said loudly: "Lord Jibu, then we will start." ”

After saying that, Li Xiao's spear was horizontal, and he put on a posture, and the trace department was also engrossed, and his eyes were fixed on Li Xiao as a guard.

"Lord Jibe, I'm going to attack your left shoulder, you pay attention."

As Li Xiao reported his gun route, the warriors present were all surprised, thinking that this was inevitably arrogant, competing with the other party, and reporting the position of his attack on the other party, so that the other party was prepared in advance.

Could it be that Li Xiao is really so confident in his marksmanship?

On the other hand, Shigang Yiyu, but Katsuzi of the trace department wrinkled his brows, and reported his gun path before attacking the other party, such a move has not been used by no one in the past.

Before Tsukahara's servants, there was a sword hero Kajiwara Nagato, who was called a sword saint, and he made a long knife with a blade length of three feet and ** inches, and he always 'reminded' his opponent before competing with others, saying: "Attention, take your left hand." ”

After finishing the competition, he really cut off the opponent's left hand with a knife.

Kajiwara Nagato's words about cutting wherever he go, and the martial arts that never missed a shot can indeed be said to be a must-have at that time.

And even though his opponent knew that the opponent had made a move in advance, he was never able to dodge his lightning-fast sword.

Such a person is generally confident that his swordsmanship has reached the pinnacle.

Could it be that Li Xiao's spear skills have reached a level comparable to Kajiwara Nagato's swordsmanship?

The face of the trace department Shengzi was even more dignified, and at this time, the spear in Li Xiao's hand had already broken through the air and attacked.

A shot was broken, and Li Xiao said in his heart, the trace department is victorious, so you are also worthy of begging for relatives, and you can ask for hardship.
