Originally, when I saw Yamada draw a knife, the passers-by around him were scattered, but now Akane Koyama made a move, and after receiving Yamada's knife, everyone stopped again, and turned to stand aside and watch the excitement from a distance.

Yamada missed the blow, and his mood became a little bad, and what was even worse was that he saw that it was actually a female streamer who stopped him, and snorted coldly, "Is the current dojo also degenerate, and all kinds of messy people are accepted, it's just not like words!" ”

The young woman on the other side did not fall behind when she heard this, and said, "In my opinion, the Choshu Domain is getting worse and worse, but the dignified samurai will only bully little girls on the street. ”

Yamada's face sank, his heart swelled with murderous intent, and he said in a calm tone, "Woman, are you insulting the samurai of my Choshu Domain?" ”

In contrast to most people's impressions, the Edo Shogunate had many more restrictions on samurai, and they could not behead civilians just because they were upset, and according to Tokugawa Yoshimune's 1742 Imperial Decree (Official Decree of the Imperial Authority), Article 71 of the Samurai had the right to "cut people without punishment" only if their reputation was harmed by disrespectful acts.

And the rules for rude behavior are also very detailed, first of all, in most cases you can only cut the civilians in your own daimyo territory (at the same time, your daimyo does not like your own civilians to be cut), it is very risky to cut people in the Edo and Kyoto areas (there are even Edo civilians who are keen on extreme sports deliberately provoke the samurai), and secondly, you can't turn over old accounts, you can't cut people today if you were insulted yesterday, and again, if the other party apologizes, you can't cut them again, and in addition, the samurai must also undergo quite cumbersome investigation and questioning after cutting people, If you find out that the report is false, you will immediately be stripped of your samurai status, and of course, if there are no witnesses or fast ronin, it is another problem.

So strictly speaking, it was very reluctant for Yamada to cut the two little girls who sold grilled eel before before, if he hadn't drunk more tonight, there was a high probability that he wouldn't have pulled out his own knife, especially in broad daylight.

But things are different now.

This young woman who came out of nowhere was disrespectful, although Mita was drunk, but his head was not completely unturned, and as soon as the other party's words came out, he first buttoned up a hat of "insulting the samurai of the Choshu Domain", and then he made a move, even if he was investigated.

Akane Koyama obviously realized that her previous expression was a little inappropriate, but before she could speak, the slightly older girl next to Chiyo suddenly burst into tears.

She had been completely frightened before, and she stayed motionless until now.

"Get out of here!" Yamada already had a new target, and he didn't bother to care about the two little ghosts in front of him, so he waved his hand impatiently, and directly pushed the girl to the side and fell, Chiyo also hurriedly ran to his companion's side, and after confirming that the former was just a palm abrasion, her beautiful big eyes moved to Xiao Shan Akane's body again, and her eyes were full of concern.

Yamada had already raised his knife again, although he had a lot of disdain for Koyama Akane in his words, but he didn't dare to underestimate the opponent if he could block his own knife, and quickly put on a posture.

Xiao Shan Qian's knife skills are passed on from her father, who is the owner of the small mountain dojo, she has grown up in the dojo since she was a child, and people often come to visit and learn from the peak of the small mountain dojo, so Xiao Shan Qian has also practiced a pair of sharp eyes, basically from a person's knife posture can be seen whether he has real materials.

Although the samurai of the Choshu Domain in front of her was brutal and violent, he was not a straw bag with only flower fists and embroidered legs, and Akane Koyama only brought a wooden sword, so this battle was not easy for her.

At this time, there were more passers-by watching on the sidelines, Matsuo and Takahashi were about to sweat at this time, who knows if the Shinsengumi guys were not nearby, when they would come out, and it didn't make sense for Yamada to win this battle, because the other party was just a female stream, and in case, if Yamada lost, it would not be his own people who would be lost, and the face of the entire Choshu Domain.

The two glanced at each other, thinking in their hearts whether to simply take a shot to knock Xiao Shan Akane down and then pull Yamada to run away, but the next moment, a line of sight fell on Matsuo's body, Matsuo had a strong sense of crisis for no reason, he looked up at the owner of the gaze, it was a guy dressed as a ronin, the other party saw him look over and raised the knife in his hand, the meaning of warning was obvious.

Matsuo secretly snorted unlucky, he is not the kind of master Yamada, it was originally because he was not very well treated in the original place, so he gritted his teeth and blended into the Shogunate faction, thinking about when to overthrow the rule of the shogunate, he can also be a half-official position, and Takahashi on the other side is also in a similar situation, usually the two of them follow behind Yamada to pick up cheap patch knives, it is okay, if they really want them to do it with others, even if they are two to one, they are not sure.

And although the guy on the other side looked down-and-out and uninhibited, the look in his eyes just now was also really fierce, and Matsuo could be sure that people who had never seen blood would not have such eyes.

It can't be a thug who killed someone somewhere and then absconded to Kyoto, right?

Out of an abundance of caution, Matsuo and Takahashi decided to stand still with static braking.

On the other side, Yamada and Koyama Akane have already devoted themselves to the battle, and they don't care about what is happening around them, what Yamada is good at is a knife technique called Oishi Kamikage, which is the source of the new Yin Stream, created by Oishi Jinji, it is said that Oishi once relied on a bamboo knife, and he was invincible all over the Dojo in Edo, and the biggest feature of Oishi Kamikageliu is that he quickly advances with his left hand, and Yamada's left-handed knife is as fast as lightning and full of aggression.

On the other side, Xiao Shan Qian used the family knife method, which was mainly on the defensive, and a wooden knife was guarded by her.

This is the first time Zhang Heng has seen the samurai sword in the Edo period, whether it is Koyama Akane or Yamada, the sword skills of the two are obviously inferior to him, according to Zhang Heng's estimate, Yamada's knife skills should have just stepped into lv2, and Koyama Akane is still at the peak of lv1.

However, one because he drank too much wine, and the other because he was holding a wooden knife in his hand, he couldn't exert his full strength, in contrast, Yamada was a little more affected, although Zhang Heng didn't know the name of his sword school, but he could see that he was also walking at speed, and he had high requirements for agility and knife accuracy, but he was now in a state of shaking when he walked, which was obviously quite affected.

On the other side, Xiao Shanqian's situation is slightly better, her weapons are at a disadvantage, and her knife skills lack changes, but because she is taking a steady and steady path, in the eyes of a master like Zhang Heng, it actually doesn't look as dangerous as it seems.
