The first day's work was not difficult, as Gabriel said, just eating and having fun, the two of them went around the city of Kyoto, basically where it was lively, and even before the evening the French businessman told Zhang Heng that he could go, Zhang Heng could feel that there were sneaky guys following them along the way.

However, what he got was only the salary of the translator, not including the part of the guards, unless the little tails behind him suddenly shot at the French businessmen and Zhang Heng could not receive the salary behind, otherwise he was just following them like now, and Zhang Heng had no intention of paying attention to them.

What's more, although Gabriel looks happy, he may not know that he is being followed, otherwise he will not do anything serious this day, and he will be doing it for whom.

Zhang Heng has no interest in these two groups of people with their own ghosts, he will do whatever Gabriel says, he doesn't ask the rest, and he doesn't care, and when the work is over, he goes back to the small courtyard he just rented, scoops a scoop of water from the well, and drinks it with a clatter.

The cold well water is the best thirst-quenching drink in this era, Zhang Heng wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and at this time, there was a sparse shouting sound from the small mountain dojo across the wall, and the sound of wooden knives hitting each other.

Zhang Heng remembered Xiao Shanqian's invitation last night, and he happened to have something to ask the other party, so while it was still early today, he put down the wooden scoop in his hand and came to the next door.

There is a plaque hanging outside the main entrance of the dojo, with five big characters on it, Zhang Heng searched in his memory, there is no impression of this genre, but this is also normal, the end of the shogunate is the last glory of Japanese swordsmanship, there are more than 200 schools that are recorded, and there are even more that are not recorded.

However, most of them have since been lost, and only the most famous ones have survived.

And in the era of Heisei Waste and Reiwa Machoo, there are even fewer people who are still learning swordsmanship, and various schools also emphasize self-cultivation more, and swordsmanship is no longer a killing technique.

Xiaoshan Ming's heart must have been drowned in the torrent of history in the end, just like other small schools.

Zhang Heng didn't think much about it, and walked directly into the dojo.

The first thing that catches your eye is a verdant grape trellis, which is full of vines, but it is not yet time for the grapes to ripen, only some sparse flower bones among the green leaves, and next to the grape trellis is a maple tree, the body of the tree is about one person together, the tree is fenced down, there are three hens, and there is a small vegetable patch on the right hand side of the chicken coop, in which some greens are planted, and the growth is good.

Zhang Heng's face was a little strange, it didn't look like a dojo at all, but it looked like a small farm courtyard, but fortunately, the main house after passing through the courtyard was very regular, there were weapon racks for bamboo knives and breastplates, there were enshrined master seats, and small wooden plaques with everyone's names written on them, arranged in order of teachers and disciples.

At this time, the dojo is very lively, Xiao Shanqian is teaching, but her students are all young, the oldest is estimated to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, and the younger ones are even seven or eight years old, they are obviously a group of children, but they are very serious in practice, catching each other in pairs, wearing protective gear and waving knives to hit, while Xiao Shanqian walks around the crowd, correcting the movements of those children while cheering them up.

She saw Zhang Heng and nodded at the latter, after learning about Zhang Heng's experience of studying in the West, she finally stopped seeing Zhang Heng as a loafer.

After arranging the training, Xiao Shan Qian walked out of the main house and said to Zhang Heng, "Have you come to practice the knife?" ”

"No, no, I'd like to ask you about the famous dojos in the Kyoto area." Zhang Hengdao.

Xiao Shan Qian was stunned when she heard this, and then a look of shame appeared on her face.

Zhang Heng realized that she had misunderstood something, and hurriedly added, "I'm not trying to find a dojo to apprentice, in fact, ...... I came to Kyoto just to meet the masters here for a while. ”

"Eh, what do you think you're doing in Kyoto?" Xiao Shanqian's eyes widened, as if she had heard something incredible, although she didn't say the next words, but the eyes that looked at Zhang Heng could already explain everything.

Xiao Shan Qian's impression of Zhang Heng has improved to a certain extent, but before in the market, the latter watched the whole process, and she remembered very well that she didn't dare to save people, it was hard to imagine that it was such a person, and he actually said that the purpose of his coming to Kyoto was to be a master of the world.

However, Xiao Shanqian still likes to think about people for the better, maybe because Zhang Heng has been studying abroad for too long, and after returning to China, he doesn't know much about the situation in China, and he still has certain illusions, thinking that he is a master, but then again, since this guy thinks he is a master, why didn't he make a move before?

Xiao Shan Qian was thinking about this problem, but suddenly saw the tooth man who brought Zhang Heng to see the room last night running in from the outside, and shouted in his mouth, "Oh no, it's not good, run for your life, a group of samurai are asking everywhere where your dojo is, and they look menacing, it is estimated that it is your father's enemy, I pointed them in a random direction, but it is estimated that it will not be long before they will come back." ”

"Enemies? But when my father was alive, he never had a quarrel with anyone, and I didn't hear of him having a grudge with anyone. Xiao Shanqian shook her head.

Zhang Heng's expression moved, he remembered a group of people, the three warriors of the Changzhou Domain last night were quite defeated, in fact, if you really want to talk about the strength, the guy who pulled out the knife and cut people is still above Xiao Shan Qian, plus the honor of the Changzhou Domain, the other party is afraid that it will be difficult to swallow this breath.

The tooth man was anxious, "It's all at this time, what's the use of saying this kind of thing, it's true to go out first to avoid trouble." ”

"Did you tell me to leave the dojo and hide alone?" Akane Koyama frowned.

"Otherwise, can you still take the dojo with you?" The tooth man rolled his eyes.

But what he didn't expect was that the group of samurai came faster than he expected, and the two of them hadn't discussed a result yet, and the other party had already killed them first, a total of five people.

In addition to Yamada, who fought with Akane Koyama at the market before, Matsuo and Takahashi, who watched the excitement, there were two other unfamiliar faces.

Yamada's face was gloomy as if he could drip water, the defeat last night was too shameful for him, and he immediately wanted to come back to the field after waking up, but after all, it was still a step too late, after all, they were fighting on the street last night, and someone on the samurai side of the Fallen Curtain faction had already heard the rumors.

And it's Shinoji Takeuchi who doesn't have a good relationship with him.,Takeuchi was also from the Choshu Domain.,Like Yamada, he's a well-known samurai in the Shogunate faction.,It's inevitable that people will be compared with each other.,After a long time.,They're not looking at each other right.。

About half a year ago, Takeuchi found Yamada to compete, originally thought it would be a close dragon fight, but it ended in Yamada simply defeated, the two fought only a dozen moves, Yamada was completely suppressed, in addition to the gap in strength, Yamada's cultivation style of swordsmanship was also restrained by bamboo, which is the real reason why he lost so ugly.

After that war, Takeuchi became more famous in the downfall faction, but Yamada showed signs of going downhill, and the two also had a grudge because of it, and the last thing Yamada wanted was to be known by Takeuchi, but the sky did not fulfill people's wishes, but the relationship between Takeuchi and Takahashi was very good, Yamada suspected that Takahashi leaked this matter to Takeuchi, and the latter came to the door early in the morning, and the yin and yang monsters expressed doubts about Yamada's strength, and they must come with them, otherwise they will tell more people about last night's events.

Yamada had no choice but to agree to the other party's request, so in today's battle, he not only has to win, but also must win beautifully, so that Takeuchi has nothing to say.
