Edo.

Even though it was one of the largest cities in the East of the era, due to years of war, the people were displaced, and many refugees poured in, and the streets were full of scrawny and tattered beggars.

The sound of horses' hooves galloped from far and near.

Several horsemen brazenly walked through the downtown area, knocking over vendors and pedestrians, and one rider waved his horsewhip and whipped the pedestrians who stood in the way, letting out a rampant and wanton laugh.

These knights were all dressed in samurai uniforms, wearing katanas at their waists, their breaths were fierce, and their eyes were as sharp as eagles, flashing from time to time, showing their good internal strength.

The leader wears an ancient coin-shaped blindfold on his left eye, revealing only one right eye, and his eyes are sharp, like a tiger ready to hunt at any time and place, although his appearance is handsome, it gives people a cold and terrifying feeling.

"Damn!"

On the side of the street, when the samurai saw the evil deeds of these horsemen, their chests burned with anger, and their faces were full of righteous indignation, and their hands pressed their blades, as if they wanted to draw their swords and cut them out.

"Calm down, Watanabe-kun, do you want to bury your life for nothing?" Immediately, there were companions who stopped the samurai's reckless actions.

"They are disciples of the Yanagi New Yin Sect! You must know that the Yagyu family is not only the No. 1 martial arts family in Edo, but also colludes with the shogunate, and their power is beyond our reach. ”

"The head of the Yanagi family, Yanagi Dan Ma Shou, is a big man we can't imagine, legend has it that his swordsmanship has reached the realm of ghosts and gods, and in our Dongying martial arts, I'm afraid there are no more than five people who are qualified to fight him!"

"And didn't you see the one-eyed samurai in the lead? He is the eldest son of Yagyu Danma Mamori, Yagyu Shibei, his swordsmanship has been passed down by the new Yin Stream, and there are few people in the younger generation who can win him! ”

……

"Lord Shibei, there are more and more refugee beggars in the city!" One of the knights was half a position behind Yagyu Jubei and pointed to the refugees on both sides of the street.

Yanagi Shibei's cold gaze swept over, and he snorted: "Later, you can find some people to drive these beggars away, today is Yukihime's sixteenth birthday, I don't want her to see these dirty things that are in the way...... Well?! Look for death! ”

Before Yanagi Shibei's words fell, among the trembling refugees on both sides of the street, four figures suddenly sprang up like lightning from the front and back, left and right, waving their hands.

Whoosh! Whoosh!!

In an instant, the sky was full of cold light, and hundreds of thousands of shinobi and star-shaped ninja darts rained down like a storm, covering the ground and several of Yanagi's ten guards.

"Igara-ryu rats?!"

Yanagi Shibei whispered, a contemptuous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and with a sneer, the katana came out of its sheath like lightning, turning into a dazzling match, and the volley swirled in the air, only to hear the sound of "dang dang dang long" endlessly, and the cold sword light had already crushed all the thousands of shinobi darts that attacked.

Yagyu Shibei disappeared from his horse.

The next moment, Sen Han's sword qi stirred the airflow, emitting a sharp and piercing whistling sound, and the four attackers let out a short scream of "ah", and "poof, puff" fell to the ground almost at the same time, dripping with blood, and his body was torn apart, which was shocking.

There was a panic and a terrible howl around them, and everyone fled like snakes and scorpions.

Yanagi Shibei looked around proudly as if he was nothing, waved his hand at the samurai behind him, and rode away.

……

Boom!

In a restaurant not far away, a man in a fancy dress with a bun with a gloomy face, slapped the table with a heavy slap, and said coldly: "Waste! What else do you say that Iga-ryu's ninjas are among the best, but they can't even deal with Yagyu Ten Guards, and they still want to get rid of Yagyu Tajima Mamoru that old thing? ”

At the feet of the man in fancy clothes, four samurai touched the ground with their heads, making a "dong dong" sound, expressing deference.

After a while, a samurai replied, "Master, it is we who underestimated the strength of the Yagyu Ten Guards. ”

"A Yanagi Shibei is so difficult, and the old thing of Yanagi Danma Shou is even more terrifying, but it's a pity that I can't say that Sleeping Maniac Shiro, otherwise I'm still a little sure."

The man in fancy clothes sighed.

"Phantom Sword" Sleeping Maniac Shiro is the first swordsman in Dongying, the magic of the Phantom Sword is unpredictable, killing people in the invisible shadow, the gods and ghosts are invincible, and all Dongying martial arts schools want to have a glimpse of the mystery of the Phantom Sword.

"I heard that Yanagi Danma Shou also has two daughters, Yanagi Yukihime and Yanagi Piaofu, their qualifications are still above Yanagi Shibei, if they are all grown up, I'm afraid no one will be able to resist the Yanagi clan anymore!"

"Although it is not possible to kill Yanagi for the time being, Ma Shou and Yanagi Shibei, his two daughters must not stay, lest they become a big trouble in the future!"

Speaking of this, the man in the fancy costume suddenly felt regretful and sighed lightly: "It's a pity! I've heard that these two daughters of Yagyu Tajima Mamoru are as beautiful as the goddesses of the ancients, with a charm beyond people's imagination, and Yagyu Yukihime is like the birth of the legendary Amaterasu Daigojin, and when she was born, there was a divine light that filled the room, and anyone who saw her could not have the slightest evil thoughts, malice, and only the admiration for the goddess remained! ”

"And Yanagi Piaofu is like the reincarnation of Kaguya-hime, although she is only eleven years old, no one can resist her beauty! As long as she is there, no matter how deep the darkness, she is as eye-catching as the bright moon, so many martial arts masters, nobles and even the sons of shoguns have come to propose...... It's a pity that I can't use it! ”

……

"Father! I am back! ”

The Yanagi Shibei strode into the mansion of the Yanagi clan, and saluted to the leader of the Yanagi clan who knelt down at the top, the great master of the Xinyin faction, Yanagi Danma Shou.

"Hmm." Yanagi Danma Mamori replied lightly.

Yanagi Shibei casually mentioned the attack when he came back, and Yanagi Danma raised his eyebrows: "I know!" ”

Although the Yagyu clan is a famous martial arts family, almost everyone knows it, but it is not without opponents, and this Iga Ryu is one of the opponents.

Iga Ryu is a ninja school, and there are three most powerful forces in this school, namely Hyakchi, Fujilin, and Hattori.

Of course, among the three major families of Iga-ryu now, the Hattori clan is stronger, just because the leader of the Hattori family, Hattori Ryuto, is one of the three great shinobi of Toei.

"Today is Yukihime's sixteenth birthday, Yukihime, this is my gift for you!" Yanagi Shibei turned to look at a young girl kneeling on the left, and took out a gilded treasure box.

This girl has the demeanor of a goddess, as dazzling as the sun, but not the scorching sun, but the warm sun that brings warmth and warmth in winter, full of holy and flawless temperament.

However, before Yanagi Yukihime could answer, there was a "giggle" smile on the right side: "What?" Ten Soldiers, didn't you give me a gift? ”

Yanagi Danma Shou frowned and scolded: "Piaofu, don't be rude to your brother." ”

Different from the kneeling posture of Yanagi Danma Mamori and Yanagi Yukihime, Yanagi Piaofu sat on the low table without any image, with a delicate little foot, and with a hook of his toes, he brought up a wine jug, which fell into the palm of her fair and slender fingers, and did not use any wine glasses, and drank slowly directly.

It's just that although her posture is indecent, there is a kind of magic that makes people sink into it and can't extricate herself, as if she is a moon elf who came out of the dark night, although she is only an eleven-year-old little girl, she already has the charm of captivating the world.

Yanagi Shibei originally heard her voice, and his whole body was agitated, and there seemed to be a touch of fear in his eyes, but when he turned his head to look at her, he couldn't help but show a look of obsession.

"Ten Guards, don't you want your other eye anymore?"

With a snort, a small knife that divided the food turned into a streamer, shot out with lightning, and stabbed at the remaining one-eyed of Yanagi Shibei.
