The cultural literacy of the samurai is generally not high.

After Ashikaga Yoshimitsu slaughtered the Emperor's court, most of the foundations of Japanese culture were broken.

Gongqing was cut off from the cultural context mastered by Shintoism, and only Buddhism was left with some cultivation.

In the samurai society where the force is the female of the force, the education rate is not low, and literacy and arithmetic are the basis for managing the territory.

But in the eyes of Ji Wushi, it is better to practice more martial arts than to learn those arts.

When you go out to fight, will the opponent stand up and let you cut because you sing well and the ape music dances well?

Don't do your job!

But it was these two Ji warriors who did not do their jobs properly that made the first two lords lose a lot of face.

Fortunately, they are all the closest people around them, and they don't care, otherwise they will have to wear small shoes when they go back.

The banquet was disturbed by this little episode and was cold for a while, and at this time, a report came from outside, and Nobutsuna Kamiizumi came to visit.

Yiyin was stunned.

Since he stepped down as a swordsman teacher, Kamiizumi Nobutsuna has long ignored the affairs of the shogunate and has rarely interacted with the samurai.

The new Yin Stream is due to the fact that she and Yagyu Soyan have two generations of swordsmanship teachers, serving Ashikaga Yoshiteru, and they are also deeply rooted.

The more this is the case, the more she avoids suspicion, lest she fall into the martial arts dispute and lose the good situation she has now.

How could such a cautious old woman come to herself?

It was Uesugi Teruhu who said it.

"The Shangquan Sword Saint is said to be a person from Kanto Ueno, and I have admired it for a long time, and I don't want to meet him here."

Yiyin's heart moved, he had some thoughts, and said with a smile.

"Then please come in and meet with the Shirt-sama."

Soon after, Kamiizumi Nobutsuna came to the banquet, and his pace was steady and rhythmic, and he bowed to the ground when he met.

Although the old sword saint is old, his swordsmanship cultivation has not fallen, if he does not mention the old age and decay, swordsmanship should be the first in the world.

"Kamiizumi Nobutsuna has met two highnesses."

The samurai Wanshi is a big name, and he can be called His Royal Highness, and the two families of Spo are all bigwigs of hundreds of thousands of stones.

Although the old sword master has superb swordsmanship, in the eyes of the martial artists, the status of the swordsman is far inferior to that of the orthodox martial artist, and it is common sense to bow to him.

Yiyin smiled and said.

"Shangquan Sword Saint is unharmed."

Kamiizumi Nobutsuna sighed.

"When I first saw Qianxingong, I knew that you were extraordinary, but I didn't expect you to be so brave and amazing."

The Sword Saint can indeed speak, worthy of being a character waiting for the general, Yiyin smiled undiminishedly and nodded at her.

Uesugi Teruhu asked with interest.

"I heard that the Shangquan Sword Saint has created a new Yin Current, and his swordsmanship is superb, and he is a first-class master, are you interested in coming to my Echigo Museum to pass on his art?"

Kamiizumi shook his head and apologized.

"His Royal Highness the shirt raises love, I am old, and I am afraid that I will not be able to help with the passing on of art.

If Your Highness does not give up, I would like to recommend a few disciples to go to Echigo and open a swordsmanship dojo. ”

Shangshu Huihu clapped his hands and said.

"Good, that's it."

She is keen on martial arts, whether it is the art of battle formation or swordsmanship.

Kamiizumi Shintsuna said a few words modestly, and then bowed to Spo Yoshigin.

"I heard that Gong Qianxin is going to send an envoy to Echigo, can you take the old woman for a ride?"

"Juggernaut going to Echigo?"

"Definitely.

When I'm older, these days I always think of my childhood, and I just want to return to my roots.

Traveling with His Royal Highness, he took the route of Echigo to Ueno and returned to his hometown. ”

Yiyin nodded, understanding the sword master's intention.

Over the years, the world has become more and more chaotic, and accidents are often encountered when going out.

Kamiizumi Nobutsuna is strong in swordsmanship, but after all, he is an old man, and he is still stunned when he walks alone in Kanto.

At this time, Yiyin sent an envoy to Kanto, his status was noble, and he was indispensable to accompany him close to Qiben, and he could go together.

At the beginning, Yoshiyin and Maeda benefited from Kamiraku, and most of them stayed in castle towns, and they would rather camp in the abandoned shrine than borrow villages along the way.

It's just that the grassroots of the samurai society are extremely chaotic, and they are most afraid of encountering the fallen samurai hunting.

The samurai regarded civilians as pigs and dogs, and wantonly exploited and bullied. snatch food, humiliate male dependents, and behead those who refuse to obey.

The civilians did not dare to resist the local warriors, although the various families continued to fight, but when they encountered the villagers and wanted to rebel, they all worked together to kill them all, and did not give them a chance to come out.

But if you encounter the defeat and flight of the samurai, or the foreign Ji samurai passing by, it will be different.

No one cares about the disappearance of these samurai, and gradually breeds a shady ambush behavior called the Raksamurai Hunt.

In the face of the lone Ji samurai, these usually obedient villagers will turn into evil spirits and capture them with various tools such as fishing nets, animal traps, and traps.

All the belongings on the captured Ji warrior will be taken away, and no trace of dignity will be left, and he will be tortured naked to death.

If it is a samurai who has been defeated and fled, you can even use your head to ask the winner for more benefits.

Sooner or later, you'll have to pay it back.

When the Ji warriors wantonly bullied the villagers and played with pigs and dogs at will, did they ever think about the fate of being eaten by livestock?

Therefore, the samurai are afraid that if they fall into the samurai hunt, they will lose their lives and even their dignity, which is the ruthless consequence of over-oppressing the common people.

Nobutsuna Kamiizumi is old, and he misses his hometown in his heart, so he naturally wants to go back safely.

If you don't meet Yiyin, maybe you will bite the bullet and go on the road, just be careful.

But since the humble prince wants to take the Hokuriku Road, he comes to ask for the same thing.

Spo Yoshiyin and Uesugi Terutora are out of the customs, and there are no less than sixty elite Ji samurai.

Then pull the shogunate's tiger skin deterrence, pass through various places, and the daimyo will also restrain the local area, beware of accidents.

Uesugi Huihu can come, the road is naturally prepared, the foothold is ready, and it is safest to follow this group of high-level martial artists out.

Yiyin probably understood the meaning of Kamiizumi Nobutsuna's intention, nodded and smiled.

"Shangquan Sword Saint intends to go along, it's a good thing that I can't ask for it, and I won't shirk it.

I'll leave tomorrow morning, okay? ”

Kamiizumi Nobutsuna bowed in thanks.

"Xie Qian believes in the father, obey the orders of His Highness."

Turning his head and saying to Uesugi Teruto.

"Your Highness Uesugi, I'll go back and pull a few outstanding disciples, and tomorrow we will all go on the road together and go to Echigo to establish the Sword Pavilion."

Uesugi Teruhu smiled and nodded.

"Good, the old sword saint is quick to talk, and he has an appetite for me, so he will do it."

Yiyin couldn't help but laugh.

Nobutsuna Kamiizumi is always looking for opportunities and opening a way out for the new Yin Current.

Uesugi Teruhu expressed interest just now, and she took the opportunity to finalize the matter of the Sword Pavilion, which deserves to be as prosperous as the rising sun.

Thinking back to the matter of Yanagi Zongyan, did this Sword Saint know that Yanagi was the shogunate's master, so he would entrust the new Yin Stream business.

People are old and refined, and they should not be underestimated. Taking the opportunity to make friends with such heroes in the same industry, Yiyin is not a loss.

After finishing business, please come to the table and have a few drinks together.

The old swordmaster is also a funny character, and the witty words make the scene warm again, and then the princess drinks for a while, and then disperses the banquet.

We will leave tomorrow, and it is not too late to toss.

The two lords, Yiyin and Shangshan Huihu, don't have to worry about miscellaneous things, but they have to be busy with all kinds of things.

That night, Yiyin tossed and turned, and couldn't sleep.

After coming for nearly a few years, the revival of the Sibo family and the laying of 200,000 stone territory are also dreamlike spring, summer, autumn and winter.

To temporarily leave the foundation he laid and go to the unfamiliar Kanto, Yiyin also has hesitations in his heart.

But he is no longer the social animal who had nothing and lived secretly. The Kanto region is in turmoil, and there is danger as well as opportunity.

There were a lot of confusions in my heart, and it was difficult to calm down, and I fell asleep in a daze for a long time.

When the return is near, I don't know how to create a new situation. The golden scales are not a thing in the pool, and they will turn into dragons as soon as they enter the Kanto region.
