A solemn general's palace.

followed the guards into the general's mansion, and the scenes inside looked relatively simple.

But.

It can still give people a very solemn sense of intimidation.

The real residence of General Ashikaga Yoshiteru is not in Awaji Province, but in Kyoto.

The Shogun's Mansion here is actually just a temporary residence of General Ashikaga Yoshiteru.

Then.

When some forces around Awaji Province rose up one after another and wanted to riot. Miyoshi Nagakei and Ataka Fuyasu led their army to suppress it as much as possible, but the emperor was still worried, so he sent Ashikaga Yoshiteru to help in the war.

"Two nobles, please wait here, General Ashikaga Yoshiteru will be coming over soon."

The guards looked at Chen Beibei and Gu Xuaniao and said to them.

When the guards spoke, they always spoke in a tone of extreme respect.

"Hmm."

Chen Beibei replied.

"If the two nobles have no other doubts, then the villain will leave first."

The guard bent down and said.

"There's nothing to do, you can go about it yourself."

Chen Beibei looked at the guards and said to him.

As soon as the guards left, several young and beautiful maids came over with some refreshments.

With a shallow smile on their faces, the maids placed the refreshments on Chen Beibei and Gu Xuaniao's table.

Then the maid who came over to make tea was next.

The tea is fragrant, it is a tea that Chen Beibei has never drunk, and as for the name, Chen Beibei is not clear.

After all.

In this era, the maids in charge of making tea in these generals' mansions were basically proficient in the tea ceremony.

Chen Beibei is just a layman in this regard.

What Chen Beibei can know is that this tea is very fragrant, and there is a feeling of comfort when drinking.

The mouth is sweet, followed by a hint of bitterness, which makes people feel uncomfortable and want to take a second sip.

"General Ashikaga Yoshiteru really seems to be a man who loves famous swords."

Chen Beibei said.

"Hmm."

Gu Huoniao replied.

If it weren't for the true love of swords, how could Ashikaga Yoshiteru treat these people who came to pay homage to famous swords.

And.

These people were also allowed to carry knives and meet them directly.

This is basically impossible for other generals.

Because, if these people who come to offer swords only use the reason of offering swords to assassinate themselves. Then it will become extremely dangerous to meet the person who offered the sword.

Even in his own mansion, those who assassinated him, once he assassinated him, could not escape death.

But.

In this world, are there still few people who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the sake of assassination?

After all, it is a more precious life.

How can it be so casual to swap it out?

"But...... This also proves that General Ashikaga Yoshiteru's swordsmanship has indeed reached the point where there is no need to fear anyone. ”

A glimmer of light flashed in Gu Bird's gaze.

Apparently.

In Gu Tori's heart, he did not despise General Ashikaga Yoshiki because he was a human being.

In this world, even if this human can stand on top. Then even a monster like Gu Hou Bird can't be despised with him.

Mankind.

Some are also very powerful.

……

The sun in the early morning was not very hot, and the temperature was very suitable, Chen Beibei and they quietly waited for the arrival of Ashikaga Yoshiki.

At the time just now, Chen Beibei had already made an agreement with Gu Xuniao.

- You must not let yourself be hurt, and you must not hurt Ashikaga Yoshiki!

Now they are in Awaji Province in 1564, which is much earlier than the present day.

If in this day and age.

Hurting people who are enough to influence history may have some unpredictable impact on the present world.

Ashikaga Yoshiteru appeared in front of Chen Beibei and them almost half an hour later.

It does seem that he is a swordsman with full aura.

Just being far away can make the atmosphere tense.

"Where's the knife for the two guests?"

As soon as General Ashikaga Yoshiki came, he went straight to the point and asked Chen Beibei and Gu Yuniao.

Apparently.

General Ashikaga Yoshiteru couldn't wait to see the famous swords they brought.

"The famous sword is in my hand, but I heard that the general also has a magical famous sword. I wonder if I can exchange them? ”

Gu Shoutori looked at Ashikaga Yoshiki and said to him.

When Gu Shouniao spoke, he did not lag behind Ashikaga Yoshiki in aura.

Moreover, because Gu Taka is a youkai, it is not because Ashikaga Yoshiki is a general. And excessive respect for him.

If it were an ordinary person, when he saw someone who was a general, he might look like he was sincerely afraid.

Ashikaga Yoshiki saw that Gu Won was different from others, and he couldn't help but feel a little interested.

"The knife you want to see me?"

Ashikaga Yoshiteru asked.

"Hmm."

Gu Huoniao replied.

General Ashikaga Yoshiteru didn't answer immediately, as if he was thinking about something.

Probably because I didn't see the famous knife brought by Chen Beibei and Gu Xuniao, I didn't want to show my famous knife first.

After all.

Famous knives are not something that anyone can show him.

"I heard that the general, the teacher of Izumi Nobutsuna and Tsukahara Buchuan, two sword saints......"

When Gu Shou Bird said this, Ashikaga Yoshiki's eyes met Gu Shou Bird's.

Apparently.

General Ashikaga Yoshiteru had already heard something from Gu Yutori's words.

"I don't know...... Is the little girl lucky enough to be able to compete with the general? ”

Gu Huoniao said.

The two looked at each other, neither of them looking away, and then General Ashikaga Yoshiteru burst out laughing.

The laughter was hearty, as if something happy had happened.

"It's been many years since anyone offered to compete with me!"

Ashikaga Yoshiteru said.

……

General's Palace, back garden.

The venue of Nuodai was surrounded by ironclad guards and some guests under Ashikaga Yoshiteru.

Originally, Ashikaga Yoshiteru just asked the maid to prepare incense and hot water, and planned to bathe and then have a swordsmanship competition with Gu Yutori.

But.

When the guests in the house heard that Ashikaga Yoshiki was going to test his swordsmanship with others, they were all worried.

It's not that they feel in their hearts that Ashikaga Yoshiteru can't beat a woman.

Rather, Ashikaga Yoshiteru is a general, and if something happens, it will not only change the situation in the entire Awaji country. It could even affect the safety of the emperor in Kyoto.

After all.

Once the Awaji Navy is in the hands of the rebels, then the rebels can directly pass through Osaka Bay and march all the way to Settsu, Kyoto and other places.

After the guests and the assistant persuaded Ashikaga Yoshiteru not to test the swordsmanship with Gu Yutori.

As a last resort, the ironclad guards surrounded the entire competition venue.

Always be ready for the unexpected.

Of course.

The guests were also on standby, and their hands were always on their katanas.

"You're so cautious......"

Ashikaga Yoshiteru said.

"I've tried against many masters in the past, have you ever seen who I've defeated in swordsmanship?"

Despite Ashikaga Yoshiteru's words, everyone still did not back down.

"In terms of swordsmanship, Ashikaga Yoshiki may be unmatched, but it is possible for the enemy to use insidious means to assassinate him."

So the guests thought.

In the end, as a last resort, Gu Won Bird and Ashikaga Yoshiki could only test their swordsmanship in this situation.

That's anyway.

It was still very disadvantageous for Gu Kuo, after all, if Gu Woo really accidentally hurt Ashikaga Yoshiteru, those guests and ironclad soldiers would definitely rush up.

Those who can become Ashikaga Yoshiteru's guests are certainly not idle people.

"Master, don't worry!"

Gu Xuanniao whispered in Chen Beibei's ear.

After Gu Xuanniao finished speaking, he walked towards the open space surrounded by many ironclad guards.

"General, let's get started!"

Gu Shouniao looked at Ashikaga Yoshiki and said with a calm expression.

"It's not good for you to have this contest going like this. Is it really going to go on? ”

Ashikaga Yoshiteru asked.

Apparently.

Ashikaga Yoshiteru hasn't been challenged for a long time, and has always been regarded as a sword hero among swordsmen, but so what?

"Well, let's get started!"

Gu Taka took his umbrella sword and said to Ashikaga Yoshiteru.

Ashikaga Yoshiki couldn't help but laugh when he saw Gu Taka like this.

Apparently.

Gu won the courage of the bird, and has been appreciated by Ashikaga Yoshiteru.

The two of them quickly competed, and Gu Gotori's speed was extremely fast, and he approached Ashikaga Yoshiteru almost instantly.

However, Ashikaga Yoshiki is also worthy of being the sword hero among the sword heroes.

easily blocked Gu Won Bird's first attack, and instead turned to an offensive and went straight to Gu Bird's life.

"Good!"

The onlookers couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration.

Seeing Ashikaga Yoshiteru's sword for the first time, Gu Won Tori stabbed at him and hurriedly retreated.

The two pulled away for some distance, and Ashikaga Yoshiteru was not in a hurry to attack.

The two stood at a distance, staring at each other for a while, and the first round was a test of each other.

"It seems that humans also have some powerful people coming out once in a while."

Gu Xuaniao thought in his heart.

You must know that Ashikaga Yoshiki is not a cultivator, and he has no aura in his body, just an ordinary person who practices swords. To a certain extent, Ashikaga Yoshiteru and Gu Yutori are actually in a weak position.

But.

After the first round, it is not difficult to see that Ashikaga Yoshiteru is completely capable of becoming an opponent with Gu Oro.

"This woman should not be underestimated, who is the master from?

Just look at the swordsmanship she used.

It's not the new Yin Stream, it's not the New Dang Stream, is there any other school of swordsmanship in this world that can be compared to these two schools? ”

Ashikaga Yoshiteru thought to himself.

Of course, at this time, Ashikaga Yoshiteru had also noticed that the weapons used by Gu Yu Bird were also relatively special.

Umbrella!

No...... Not an ordinary umbrella...... It's just a special sword.

From ancient times to the present, famous weapons have always been not limited to appearance.

"I'm going to take it seriously, and I hope you too!"

Ashikaga Yoshiki looked at Gu Yuniao and said solemnly. It can be seen that when Ashikaga Yoshiteru said this, his eyes were extraordinarily focused.

"Hmm."

Gu Xuaniao nodded.

Gu Hou Bird looked more casual and nodded, but Gu Hou Bird did not relax in the slightest.

For Yogu Bird, concentration is already a habit.

The body is elegant, the swordsmanship is smart, the leaves fall and the flowers fly, and the two people fight back and forth, regardless of up and down.

The surrounding ironclad guards and guests were already stunned.

Of course.

The same is true for Chen Beibei, although Chen Beibei has seen the scene of the battle between Gu Huoniao and other monsters.

But.

Those monsters never use swords, and when they fight, they are more chaotic.

And the fight between Ashikaga Yoshiki and Gu Tori looks very gorgeous and elegant.

"Wow, this is Kamiizumi Nobutsuna's new dangliu swordsmanship, I didn't want it, since I was lucky enough to be able to see General Ashikaga Yoshiteru, I really died without regrets."

An elderly guest said.

The old guest has always had a wide-backed knife in his hand, and it can be seen that he should be a very brave swordsman.

"But...... Why does that woman's swordsmanship look so weird? Obviously, there is no specific move, but it can resolve the crisis every time. Even in the face of General Ashikaga Yoshiteru, since he was able to do it without falling behind......"

A guest wearing a hat said.

"Yes, that woman's swordsmanship is indeed strange, and she has never seen it after living for so many years. I guess it was the work of some outsider. ”

An old man with gray hair said.

The old man's hair and beard were snow-white, but he looked like a fairy-like man. Looking at the age, he should be eighty or ninety years old, but his body is unusually tough.

To be able to become a guest in the palace of Ashikaga Yoshiteru, these people must also be first-class swordsmen and swordsmen from all over the world.

Gu Tori and Ashikaga Yoshiteru fought until dark, although there were some times during which it seemed more dangerous.

But.

They were all dissolved from each other one by one.

And those guests and ironclad guards don't seem to want to spoil the fairness of this competition.

Even though...... Ashikaga Yoshiteru was killed, and they could not escape death.

Everyone has put life and death aside at this moment, after all, if it affects such a once-in-a-century competition. Then it will definitely be left behind for 10,000 years.

In some of the stories that circulated in the streets and alleys in the future, those who blocked the competition. I guess I will be ridiculed and abused by the world.

Ashikaga Yoshiteru stabbed another sword at Guyu, and Gutori swept Ashikaga Yoshiteru's sword away with an umbrella.

He stabbed towards Ashikaga Yoshiteru's chest.

"Win!"

Gu was overjoyed in his heart, after fighting for so long, there was finally a flaw......

Now the sword in Ashikaga Yoshiteru's hand has been picked apart by Gu Yutori. It is impossible to withdraw the sword and block the attack of Gu Huoniao.

The onlookers and the guards all took a sharp breath.

I only heard the sound of drawing a knife.

A few of the guests had even taken their own steps, but in the end, they chose to stop.

It all happened in a split second.

A moment in a moment......

Ashikaga Yoshiteru withdrew his left hand and pulled out a short knife from his waist, which he would not normally use. However, it is now necessary to use it.

The sword in Ashikaga Yoshiteru's right hand cannot be taken back for the time being. And the arms are still facing the sky.

And the short knife drawn out of his left hand blocked Gu Huoniao's umbrella sword in a thrilling way!
