Chapter 64: Gathering Momentum
Time goes back a bit.
It was late at night.
In a classical Japanese-style dojo in Arakawa Ward, Uesugi Kiyoshi sits outside the shoji gate, and the door of the main room is wide open, revealing the figure inside.
This is the property of the Tobunkai, which has been transferred to Uesugi Kiyoshi and is currently under renovation, and is now being selected by Uesugi Kiyoshi as the assembly site.
Because this is located in the Arakawa area, Uesugi Kiyoshi has a sense that everything starts and ends in Arakawa.
He was reading a book at this time, and there were some quaint thread-bound books, and he could vaguely see a line of Chinese characters at the frontispiece - "Wulunshu".
On the wooden floor outside the shoji gate, Rin Kamiizumi held a Notai knife that was taller than herself, and stretched out her hand to pluck the raindrops falling from the sky, playing with joy.
In the room behind him, Liu Longren, who was dressed in a black suit and also wearing a knife, was leisurely circling in a circle, looking at the interior decoration, and he didn't know what he was thinking - within a few meters of his body, even the air would become a little colder, and there was a sense of murder.
Dongwen Maki is still dressed in cherry-colored vibration sleeves, sitting on the left back of Uesugi Kiyoshi in a regular manner, looking at Uesugi Kiyoshi's back with an affectionate and not rude look, the corners of his mouth are uncontrollably slightly upturned, and his smile is sweet.
However, Uesugi Kiyoshi was hairy behind the look.
This eldest lady is a broken jar, and she has no restraint!
Dongwen's demon knife, witch knife, and members of the club squadron also sat behind the two of them, all bowing their heads and not saying a word.
The atmosphere was tense.
Because there is also a woman sitting in the right rear of Uesugi Kiyoshi.
The graceful and uneven body was covered by a green coat, the masked green scarf covered half of the face, and the exposed eyes were a little coquettish, but looking at Uesugi Kiyoshi's gaze, he didn't dare to have half a bit of pleasure.
This is the leader of Li Fuyao's followers, codenamed "Qinglian".
Behind her, there were also a large number of Tsing Yi people - these people's sitting posture was not as regular as that of the squadron, but they still forbade it, and did not speak.
It's just that the eyes of these two groups of people inadvertently look at each other as if they can spark.
The silence was broken by Maki Higashi.
She looked at her watch, the hour hand was past nine o'clock, and she saw that Kiyoshi Uesugi was almost finished with a book before she spoke.
"Sir, have you been reading Miyamoto's Art of War book lately? I remember that the gentleman used a two-handed sword, right? ”
In Japan, holding a sword in both hands is the mainstream, and when Miyamoto Musashi created a first-class two-sword stream in the first two days, he was ridiculed by the kendo world in every way, regarded it as a heresy, and knew that he later spoke with his achievements, which made many people shut up - but there were still many people who looked down on him in private, thinking that he was a scum who had turned his back on tradition.
In fact, for now, the traditional kendo with a two-handed sword and the two-sword stream with a single-handed sword are also different from each other, and no one can be killed with a stick.
The second sword is tricky, and the sword covers a wider angle and is more difficult to defend.
However, if you hold a sword in one hand and your strength is insufficient, it will be easy for your opponent to use a two-handed sword to open the sword momentum, take advantage of the weakness, and kill you with one sword, and there are countless examples of this.
However, these are not much of a problem for Uesugi Kiyoshi.
Although he doesn't seem to have changed much in size now, he still has monster-level strength, and his sword is not so easy to get rid of.
"Hmm... Recently, I changed a good sword, and if I don't use it, it's a bit wasteful, and it just so happens that my arm strength has also increased, so the research and research are first-class for two days - I have to say, Miyamoto Musashi is a legendary swordsman worthy of the name of the sword master, this book is indeed written simple and to the point, if you are interested, you might as well study it. ”
Uesugi Kiyoshi handed over the five-wheeled book in his hand, this is not a copy of those big road goods, this is what his teacher has studied and written annotations.
Towen Maki turned the book, flipped through a few pages, put it aside, and shook his head.
"I don't have to look at it, I'll wait for Mr. to teach me."
Kiyoshi Uesugi only felt a toothache - what was going on with this coquettish tone.
Miss... Have you opened the door to a new world, and your personality has changed dramatically? This wasn't the case with Maki Tobun in the past.
Miss...
He didn't answer, took out his mobile phone, clicked on the icon of an APP, glanced at it a few times, and closed it again.
"Tsk... I obviously went back to Tokyo, but I was still running non-stop, and in order not to startle the snake, I didn't dare to send someone to see it first... I don't even dare to deploy drones, it's too cowardly..."
"These bastards, what are you running!"
"Go back to your lair! Isn't there going to be a meeting tomorrow that Yuichi attends, so why don't you make some preparations? ”
He muttered to himself, his expression a little unusually impatient.
As a secret ritual, Mei Liang does have her own ability, she got rid of the Collectibles Association's surveillance submersible in the sea, but she can't deal with the nanopositioning material in her body, and she doesn't realize it at all.
Therefore, her current position, in the eyes of Uesugi Kiyoshi, is very clear.
He watched as the woman who had been circling in the Sea of Japan had finally returned to Tokyo along the Arakawa River not long ago, and even according to the map coordinates, she had entered the city.
However, Uesugi Kiyoshi called the association's drone high-altitude reconnaissance, but found no trace of the woman, and asked the agent to go to the field to investigate, or reduce the altitude of the drone flight, he was afraid of disturbing the prey, so in desperation, he had to wait - at least until the woman stopped moving.
Seeing this, Dongwen Maki pursed her red lips with some concern.
"Sir rarely shows such an expression... How? Is this opponent really strong enough to do that? ”
Uesugi Kiyoshi thought for a few seconds and shook his head.
"Not really... No, how can I say it, it's pretty strong. ”
"Yuichi told me that in his dream mirror realm, Hydra may have the power to shake a country, but what I'm worried about is not the difference in strength."
"It's intelligence... I know too little about those things, and the guild's intelligence is really limited. ”
"If you can't do it, it's hard to win a war..."
Dongwen Maki couldn't wait to pounce on Uesugi Kiyoshi and smooth out her frowning brows, but she didn't have any solution to the problem Uesugi Qing encountered, so she could only respond sullenly, lowered her head, and was not very interested.
Qinglian, who was sitting on the side, narrowed her Danfeng eyes when she heard this, and glanced at Dongwen Zhenxi with a hint of inconspicuous provocation in her tone.
"Uncle... Why don't you ask the eldest lady? ”
"Baiwen Pavilion, including the world's classics, hundreds of stories, compose the stories of all living beings, there are few things that the eldest lady does not know in the world."
Uesugi Kiyoshi sighed and said, "I've called, but I haven't been able to get through... I don't know what she's up to, but I can't bother her with everything. ”
"I can do it myself."
Qinglian chuckled, shook her head and said, "Uncle, you don't have to use the phone to communicate between you and the eldest lady." ”
"I heard the eldest lady admit that she is connected to your destiny and has a common heart--you hand her a thought in the sea of stars, and she will respond to you."
Uesugi Kiyoshi's expression froze, and after pondering for a while, his eyes gradually brightened.
It seems that this is the truth!
It's like when they entered each other's dream mirrors.
Why didn't he think of it before!
Without hesitation, he concentrated and calmed down, and sank into the dream mirror in a second.
And behind him, Dongwen Maki's eyes looking at Qinglian had become dangerous and cold.
