Chapter 73: Yanagi's swordsmanship

Kira Manmatsumaru's disgraceful careful thinking was quickly pressed, according to Yanagi Jiayan, his son has been very naughty since he was a child, and he is a well-known child king near Yanagi Village, known as the first warmaster in Yanagi Township, fortunately, he is still a little self-aware, and he didn't say that he was the first in Timjo County, otherwise the leader of the monks and soldiers of Kofukuji Temple would definitely be very unhappy.

The father and son were about to stage the classic joke of father and son's filial piety, but they were interrupted by a harsh laughter, and the slightest movement in the quiet room was very harsh, not to mention that Yanagi Zongyan's six senses were keen, and he could detect it at all, so when Yanagi Zongyan stared at Yamaoka Zenjiro who was snickering, Kira Manmatsumaru could only throw this stupid person out of the punishment station.

"I'm sorry, my servant is not very sensible, please continue."

"Well, it's not in the way......" Yanagi Jiayan smiled very casually and said that it didn't matter, and talked endlessly about his son's interesting stories back then.

The so-called interesting story of Yagyu Soyan's childhood is nothing more than a story like the child king, this name is not unfamiliar to Kira Manmatsumaru at all, isn't it bullying the children of the peasant family and not daring to provoke him, no wonder Yamaoka Zenjiro wants to laugh out loud, this guy has done this before, of course he knows what the so-called child king is about.

However, the level of this Yamaoka Zenjiro is too inferior, the child king and the child king are not the same, the people Yanagi Zongyan can shock the world in the future, how much can he Yamaoka Zenjiro achieve? At best, he is a competent horse head.

Not to mention the story of the Yanagi family's bragging, just say that this Yanagi Zongyan's courage is indeed extraordinary, at the age of fourteen, he dared to go out with a few small surnames, and he returned home once in a few years because of the life and death of the family, and this temperament is enough to achieve a generation of grandmasters, compared to Yamaoka Zenjiro is a scum.

"This is the truth that people are more dead than people, and goods are more thrown away! I don't think he would have any complaints even if he let that idiot hang up now! Kira Manmatsumu directly labeled Yamaoka Zenjiro as a "scum work", but completely ignored that his own martial arts level was not even a third-rate, and in time Zenjiro's age would be the level of a scum.

Yagyu Soyan from the age of fourteen to the stilted family, ran to the icy and snowy Echizen country, followed the Echizen Tomita Ryu just became famous Toda Ichitosai to learn swordsmanship, this Toda Ichitosai also known as Zhong Roll Zisai, ten years ago to create his own Zhong Roll Stream to become a sect of grandmasters, and today is only in his forties, it is conceivable that the level of the first to create Zhong Scroll Stream nine years ago is still a little bit worse.

So Yanagi Zongyan as a disciple of Toda Ichitosai, naturally cultivated by this master with all his might, but this master Tomita Ryu swordsmanship did master the essence, but the self-created Zhong Scroll has not been thoroughly figured out, so when Yanagi Soyan followed his master Toda Ichitosai to learn swordsmanship for a few years, he felt that his master was nothing more than that, and when he was thinking about how to kick this master, it happened that the Yanagi family was facing the attack of the Tsutsui coalition army, and this Yagyu master left Echizen Province without looking back.

Later, after the battle and surrender to the Tsutsui family, Yagyu Soyan felt that there were more swordsmen in Kyoto, so he went to Kyoto to worship under the Shindangryu Gate, and worked hard to learn Shindangryu swordsmanship under the disciple of Shintori Shinjuro who taught Shindangryu swordsmanship in the Kyoto Dojo, until he was recruited by his father to inherit the family governor this year.

This Yagyu Zongyan doesn't seem to have the appearance of a grandmaster at the moment, he looks very arrogant and hums and doesn't care about people, and later heard that Nakajo Hidetaka, who is alias Nakajo De Hasuke, is a swordsmanship master from the Nakajo-ryu clan, so he can no longer continue to be calm, and stands up and directly challenges Nakajo Hidetaka regardless of the occasion.

"I, Yagyu Shinzaemon, challenge you, and ask His Highness Nakajo to teach me!"

"Good! I, Hidetaka, accept the challenge of Yagyuden," Nakajo Hidetaka replied as he sat up straight without impatience.

Nakajo Hidetaka is not very old, but when it comes to bearing, he is definitely beyond Yanagi Zongyan, and he is not flustered in the face of Yanagi Zongyan's imposing challenge, and he can calmly tidy up his clothes and get up to fight, compared to Yanagi Zongyan, he is much worse, and he attacked one after another at the beginning, and the wooden knife in his hand is like an acrobat, and all kinds of bells and whistles of swordsmanship do not listen.

Nakajo Hidetaka was not in a hurry to fight back, and patiently wrestled with Yanagi Zongyan, the two sides fought back and forth, and Nakajo Hidetaka, who had been slow, saw the opportunity to suddenly swing his knife violently to bounce away Yanagi Zongyan's sword momentum, and a thrust knocked him to the ground, and the trial ended with Nakajo Hidetaka winning completely.

"Why did I lose so badly!" Yanagi Zongyan wiped the sweat off his forehead and threw away the wooden knife with reluctance, and when he saw that Nakajo Hidetaka's face was not red and out of breath, he angrily chased after him and shouted: "Nakajo Hall!" Why did you just release the water? It's against the dignity of the art of war that you're doing this! Please let me know! Why are you doing this! ”

"Shinjiro! Come over to me! Don't you think you're ashamed enough? Liu Shengjia Yan hurriedly got up and pulled him down, but unfortunately his son is a bull temper, how can this old man hold it.

Ignoring his father's scolding, Yanagi Zongyan still stubbornly asked, "Please give an explanation!" ”

"Yanagi Dian's swordsmanship is too impetuous, although each sword skill is very subtle, and the changes are erratic and full of tricks, it seems that Yanagi Hall has an insight into the importance of sword skills." Nakajo Hidetaka patiently explained: "It's a pity that Yanagi Hall hasn't understood a truth yet, it's too fancy for a master of swordsmanship and war, the more flaws there are, the more flaws there are, I just used Twenty He to observe Yanagi Shaoden's swordsmanship, and I can win with one blow if I find out Yanagi Shaodian's changing habits." ”

Nakajo Hidetaka was very polite, and he didn't tell the truth, Yanagi Zongyan's swordsmanship was useless, and he pursued novel swordsmanship too much and ignored the basic skills, and even the foundation was not solid and it was in vain to practice, so he tactfully prompted, the more he changed, the faster he lost.

"Humph! Isn't the art of war the pursuit of exquisite sword skills? Why do I get more flaws? It doesn't make sense at all! Yagyu retorted unconvinced.

At this time, his father, who was not skilled in swordsmanship, had already fully understood, and he sighed and said, "Shinjiro! You are a child with a great talent for swordsmanship, so I allowed you to go out to learn the art of war, but you have been studying the art of war for almost ten years, and even one of them has been exempted? I understand the meaning of His Royal Highness Nakajo, a layman, why do you have to drill the horns of a bull like a talented child? Have you forgotten the letter that His Highness Toda Istosai once wrote to you? A person who only thinks about learning stunts and ignores the basics will never become a master of the art of war! ”

"A person who only thinks about learning stunts and neglects the basics will never become a master of the art of war! …… Is that what the teacher wrote to me? Was it wrong for me to leave Toda Normal in the first place? Yanagi Zongyan was completely shocked by this not loud stick, and the whole person fell into a strange state of self-talk, ignoring the guests in the hall, and walked out with a repeat of the words.

Nakajo Hidetaka hesitated: "Is there really no problem with Yanagi Hall like this?" ”

"Alah! It's okay! This situation is a nightmare! Just ask the doctor at Kofukuji Temple to prescribe a few calming decoctions! Kira Manmatsumu said with a big grin that there was no problem.

"I see, then on behalf of my son, thank Your Highness Saijo! Thank you Your Highness Nakajo for the reminder! Without the help of His Royal Highness Nakajo, my son is still immersed in fancy swordsmanship and can't extricate himself, I, Yagyu Jiayan, thank you two! "It is not easy for a person over fifty years old to lean over the ground to thank a half-grown child, a child, this is the power of father's love.

Kira Manmatsumu shrugged and said don't mind, this time the ironclad white run, this Yanagi Zongyan's level is not as good as Nakajo Hidetaka, no wonder this master in history has been living in seclusion until his old age before he became a master of swordsmanship, as far as his current backward thinking continues, but he can't wake up for ten or eight years, and by that time his foundation has long been crooked, and if he wants to straighten it up, he will have to spend several times more time and energy to correct it, and it is not so strange until his later years.

Leaving the Yagyu family, Kira Manmatsumaru's journey to Yamato Province came to an end, and he originally planned to go directly north to Yamashiro Province and then return to Sakamoto along the Yodo River, but Yamaoka Zenjiro reminded him that he could not return to directly, because the task assigned by His Royal Highness Ashikaga Yoshito had not been completed.

"I forgot about such an important matter! What a damn thing! He had to go to Settsu Province to see the army of the Miyoshi family, so he had to turn back to Hanoi Country, Kira Manmatsumu scratched his head in distress: "It's really going back and forth, why bother, I knew that I should have completed the errand task before coming to Yamato." ”
