"The Shinsengumi are coming to you?"

Zhang Heng accompanied the French businessman to walk around the flower street for an afternoon, returned to the dojo, and listened to Xiao Shanqian talk about what happened in the afternoon.

His job has been as easy as ever, and he still accompanies Gabriel to eat and drink everywhere, and the latter seems to be very patient, and the cost of hiring a translator alone has already cost four small sentences, plus the other expenses of playing, it seems like he really wants to enjoy the exotic scenery of Kyoto.

Probably because his performance was too deceptive, Zhang Heng found that there were a lot fewer small tails behind them in the past few days, and Zhang Heng knew that it was not too far from the day when the French businessmen really started to act.

"It's a young man." Xiao Shan Qian said, probably described the appearance of the visitor to Zhang Heng, Zhang Heng heard the three words of the new selection group, and heard Xiao Shan Qian talk about the bright smile on the person's face, and the thing that was always coughing, and a name also appeared in his mind.

I thought to myself, could it be that guy?

"He came for the samurai of the Choshu Domain, and when he heard about what happened in the market that day, and then they came to seek revenge, he came to us to cooperate." Akane Koyama said.

"Cooperation? How do they want to work together to ambush and kill those Choshu Domain samurai in the dojo? Zhang Heng relieved the ribs around his waist, he had recently followed the activities of the French merchants, and there was no danger for the time being, so he left the knife in the house, and only brought a short knife to defend himself.

In addition, the feather weaving he is wearing now is no longer free of charge from the system at the beginning of the copy, Xiao Shan Qian found a few old clothes that her father worn, so that Zhang Heng now has a change of clothes, but Zhang Heng's height is very common in modern times, but it is a bit of a standout in the Edo period, he has found a tailor to customize new clothes, but he has not received the ready-to-wear yet.

"No, the Shinsengumi don't have much interest in these ordinary Choshu Domain samurai, they seem to have a bigger goal."

Although the visitor didn't elaborate, but Akane Koyama is not a deep girl who doesn't know anything, as the daughter of the owner of the dojo, and now she is carrying the burden of running the dojo on her shoulders alone, and she is still very clear about the current situation in Kyoto, since the Shinsengumi found here, not for Yamada and the others, then their target can obviously only be more important people.

"What do you think?" Zhang Heng asked Xiao Shanqian.

"When my father was still alive, Ito came to him and discussed with him about King Qin, but his father refused, and then there were generals who came to woo him, and my father also did not agree, he said that each side has its own reason, he is just the owner of a small dojo, and he can't tell the right from wrong, so he can't make a decision, in this case, it's better to simply keep his heart and only do what he thinks is right, such as using the knife in his hand to protect the neighborhood, or helping people in need in this troubled world," Akane Koyama replied, "So I rejected the offer to cooperate." ”

"And then, what did the guy say?"

"He said he understood and respected my choice, but the rest of the group didn't necessarily think so, but he also told me not to worry too much, he would try to convince their director to take another approach, oh yes," Akane Koyama added, "and he also heard about your decapitation of Yamada's left hand, and said that he would come back to see what kind of person you were when he had time." ”

This childlike curiosity really sounded like the man's way of doing things.

Zhang Heng also had a lot of interest in that guy, if it was really that person, it would be very valuable to fight, so Zhang Heng said to Xiao Shanqian, "When he comes next time, if I am not there, you can help me make an appointment with him." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Shanqian misunderstood what Zhang Heng meant, and hesitated, "I think he ...... There shouldn't be any malice, I just want to see you. ”

"You misunderstood, I'm just more interested in the natural flow of reason, and I just want to see it." Zhang Heng washed his face with well water and explained.

…………

The two had dinner under the maple tree in the dojo, and Akane Koyama cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and scraps, and then went back to the house and got two wooden knives.

Although Xiao Shanliu is biased towards state of mind cultivation, it is impossible for a school to have no sword skills, and after Zhang Heng joined the dojo, he listened to Xiao Shanqian's explanation and knew that he still had to get a certificate to practice sword skills.

The general dojo is divided into three levels when assessing the level of the disciples under them.

- Cut paper, catalog, exemption, or catalog, exemption, transmission.

The most basic entry card for cutting paper, on behalf of you just getting started, belongs to the first-level budding, you can't even tell others about your own genre when you fight, after all, each genre is also face, if you go out and are cut too much, it will inevitably affect the prestige of the genre, so that everyone can come to the conclusion that a certain genre is just so.

Therefore, for the disciples who are still at the level of cutting paper, each school requires them to make less trouble, even if they want to do it, they can't report their own school, and if they are cut down, they will be cut, no one knows who taught you the three-legged cat knife method, and the provincial teacher was angry to death.

The catalogue is slightly stronger, and the genre will issue scrolls to record the techniques and moves you have learned, and you will memorize one move until you reach the level of exemption, at which point the samurai will be eligible to report your own genre before you start.

Like Xiao Shan Qian and Yamada, who was forced to chop his hands by Zhang Heng before, are both at this level.

And the last one is all transmitted, as the name suggests, is to learn all the techniques of the genre, the teacher has passed on all the skills, there is no way to teach, and the people who can get this certificate are basically the real masters of the genre.

Like the guy who came to find Xiao Shanqian this afternoon, if he was really the person Zhang Heng was familiar with, then he would have gotten the permission of the natural flow of reason.

This is a digression, back to Zhang Heng, Zhang Heng originally thought that after joining the Xiaoshan Dojo, he would be able to cut people around with this brand, but he found that he had to practice first to be exempted.

However, this is not difficult to Zhang Heng, who has lv3 in the knife technique, and it is hard to say what his mood is, but if it is just a technique, he can almost learn it in two or three days, after all, his strength, speed and reaction ability are here, but he has changed from the original irregular slashing to slashing people with routines.

Xiao Shan Qian also had to be convinced, those techniques that she practiced many times when she was a child, and sometimes secretly wiped her tears, fell on Zhang Heng's hands, and it seemed that she didn't need much effort to learn it at all, often she just reminded her a few times of posture and force mode, Zhang Heng could use eight or nine without leaving ten.

Now that the two are fighting, they both use Xiaoshan Ming's knife technique, and Xiaoshan Qian is no longer Zhang Heng's opponent, which once made her doubt that she is a fool.
