Yanagi has always been a famous family serving the general, and at the same time is known as the first kendo family in Japan, if there is no such ability, how to protect and teach the general to learn swordsmanship?

Therefore, Yagyu has a pivotal position in Edo, and many people can be proud of entering the "Yagyu Chan yīn stream", and at its peak the number of disciples exceeded thousands, it can be said that no school can match it, and slowly Yagyu became the leader of the kendo world, and everyone can only look at the back of his neck, but cannot surpass.

However, the wealthy also have the troubles of the wealthy family, since the beginning of the war of Yanagi has been on the verge of indecisiveness, is to the inner world of Lei Zhe analysis of that, Yanagi is now not only a simple kendo family, it is also the holy place in the hearts of all samurai, and after the outbreak of the war, there are many "Yanagi Chen yīn liu, apprentices left the dojo to participate in this war to protect their country, which also made the prosperous Yanagi gradually decline, a large number of apprentices, the double pressure of the shogunate and the Zhiyi scholars have made the top management of Yanagi feel tiredBecause they really don't know how to choose what path they want to take next.

It was to continue shì to serve the shogun and the shogunate, and to bend the knees under the heavenly beings.

Or pick up the sword, participate in the war of rebellion, and protect your country?

The former is loyalty, after all, Yanagi shì has a long history with the shogunate, and it can be said that Yanagi's current status was given by the shogunate.

The latter is righteousness, if even the country is gone, what else is there to say? Do you want to abandon bushido and compromise with the invaders?

Since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness cannot be both, this sentence is now the most suitable for the Yanagi family, so the contemporary head of the Yanagi family, Yanagi Yuju, has no way to be sincere, and recently there are many people who have come to be lobbyists, and most of these people are apprentices who left the dojo, and they want to use the emotional card to move Yanagi Yuju and let him join the Yizhi.

It's just that at this critical moment, his wife Yanagi Runa is not around, if she is there, she will give herself more opinions, right? I really don't know why she left Edo to visit relatives in Kumamoto, didn't she know that her body couldn't withstand the fatigue of the journey? Although he is busy with family problems now, Yanagi Yuju is still thinking about his wife.

Putting down the sword that was constantly wiping in his hand, Liu Sheng sighed, his eyes wandered on the sword, with a sigh in his heart, since he became the head of the family, how long has it been since he had been thinking about the future of the family as he had been in the past?

No wonder his father handed over the family to himself when he became an adult, it seems that he can't stand this kind of life of fighting for power and profit, fighting openly and secretly, right?

"Are you there?" An old but somewhat shrill voice came from outside the room, and then the door was opened, and a short old man with long gray hair who looked very ordinary walked into the room, and the old man looked at Yanagi Yuju and the knife placed in front of him and shook his head lightly and said, "Are you worried about Runa?" In the past, whenever you were upset, you would wipe the knife, but after so many years, you still haven't got rid of this problem. ”

"Father." Yanagi Yuju bowed lightly to the old man, and then put away the knife in front of him and said: "I'm worried about not only Rina but also the future of our Yanagi family, you don't know, someone recently told me that the general is suspicious of our Yanagi family, the reason is that we are too close to the Zhishi, if it weren't for the fact that the general was going to do something to us in the previous relationship, what do you say we should do now?" ”

"If you ask me about this kind of thing, who shall I ask?" The old man smiled bitterly that he was "Yanagi Chen Yīn Liu, the most powerful swordsman in history, and also the father of Yanagi Yuju, Yanagi Min Mu Zhai, legend has it that no one can beat him in the entire [Ri] book in the way of the sword."

"That's what I hate the most, otherwise how could I hand over the family to you? You're the head of the house now, so do what you want, and whatever you decide, I'll support you. Yanagi Minmu Zhai knelt in front of his son, looked at him and said calmly, this swordsman also knows that Yanagi Yuju has been under a lot of pressure recently, whether it is the shogunate or the people who are struggling with him, they are constantly putting pressure on him.

If you can, the old man really wants to take his son and daughter-in-law to find a place to live in seclusion, what shogunate, the warriors, and the celestials all die to fight with you, what reason do you have to find trouble for yourself? The old man now doesn't care about anything except his family, he just wants his children and grandchildren to be safe and happy. ,

Although the old man said so, Yanagi Yuju could only smile helplessly, how could such a major matter be chosen casually? Isn't this a joke about the whole family? Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the disciples who worship in the Yagyu family, right? Now, "Yanagi, the family is big, it's not like you can go."

At this moment, there was a very hurried footstep outside, and then someone outside the door said, "Lord Yuju, Madame is back." ”

After hearing this, Yanagi immediately stood up, and it seemed to be the only good news in recent times. What could be more gratifying than the safe return of his wife, who had forgotten all his troubles at this moment, and even his own father had left the room almost with a run.

Seeing the frizzy son, the old man shook his head, and then he also stood up and walked out, after all, the daughter-in-law fù came back to see how he had to go and see, and said that this daughter-in-law fù old man was very satisfied, and his unsuccessful son could marry such a woman home, not his own species, just like he did back then.

"Look at the way you look, you're such an adult, and you're not afraid of other people's jokes." RUNA LOOKED AT HER HUSBAND AND SAID WITH A SMILE, TO BE HONEST, YANAGI'S HEIGHT IS REALLY A PITY, IT SEEMS THAT THE PEOPLE IN THE YANAGI FAMILY ARE NOT VERY TALL, HE IS ONLY 122CM, THAT IS TO SAY, SLIGHTLY TALLER THAN LEI ZHE, AND RONA'S HEIGHT IS AT LEAST ABOVE 150CM, SO THESE TWO PEOPLE ARE VERY HAPPY STANDING TOGETHER.

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back, it's been hard along the way." Although Yanagi Yuki cared about his wife very much, he still found that many people in the convoy did not appear, it seemed that the road was not peaceful, he wanted to know what was going on, but now was not the time to ask about such a thing, and finally he glanced at Dongcheng, and then helped Runa to walk towards the courtyard.

"It's so big here, bigger than Yui's house. ，… Xiao Teng Wei looked at the courtyard of Yanagi's family and said, although Xiao Teng is also a famous family, but it is much worse than Yanagi, after all, Kumamoto's kind of place can't be compared with Edo at all, and this is also the first time she has seen a house bigger than her own, so it seems a little jī moved.

Yin Shi also nodded beside her, although he didn't speak, his expression told the person that he liked it very much, and it was inevitable to have this kind of thought, after all, for Yin Shi, the people who could live in this kind of house were amazing, and he didn't expect that he would be able to walk into this high wall and into this compound one day.

Lei Zhe didn't speak, he stood at the back of the convoy, looking at the backs of Yinshi and Wei, a faint sadness appeared in his heart, it seems that he will never be able to be with them, as long as the killing in his heart is uncontrollable, he can't live like ordinary people, maybe the no-man's land in the deep mountains and old forests is more suitable for his current self, right?

"You are important guests, come with me now, and I will show you around this place, after all, this is where you will live in the future." Dongcheng knew that Liu Sheng had something to look for him, but now it was more important to stabilize Lei Zhe and the others, and now he was not only Lei Zhe and Yinshi, but also Xiao Tengwei, after all, her performance after signing the contract with Qi Lù Nuo was also extremely conspicuous.

"You take them there, I'm a little tired, can you find me a room?" Lei Zhe, who was holding the long knife, said to Dongcheng that he should slowly fade out of Yinshi's sight, maybe this was a good opportunity, so he did not accept Dongcheng's invitation, but chose to leave, he found that Yinshi was obviously a little disappointed, but the other party didn't say anything, which made Lei Zhe breathe a sigh of relief.

"In that case, I'll let you take you to rest, and I'll have someone call you for dinner, so you don't have to worry that no one will disturb you." Dongcheng didn't say anything else, and directly won Lei Zhe's request, he also knew that Lei Zhe's current state was not very good, maybe the impact on him when he went on a rampage last time hadn't been eliminated, right?

"Thank you, Silver, remember what this place looks like, this is where you live in the future, and it will be a shame if you are a man." This was the first time Lei Zhe had spoken to Yinshi in the past few days, and then he left with another person, and Yinshi didn't notice that Lei Zhe was using "you" instead of "we" when he said this,......,

Putting the knife on the ground, Lei Zhe took out his cigarette pouch from his arms and lit it, sitting alone in the room, he thought about many things, most of them were related to Yinshi, and it had happened since he woke up.

"Although it is short, I am very happy, and I can meet Yinshi, this is also God's arrangement, right? It's just a pity that I can't stay with him. , A helpless smile appeared on Lei Zhezhi's face, he felt that it was not a good thing to have power, at least he was losing other things while gaining power.

Lei Zhe picked up the knife and stood up and walked to the corner of the room, and then the long knife in his hand came out of its sheath with a "click, click, sound, the knife swung in the air with a silver glow, slashing at the wall of the room, the wooden wall halved under the blade, but made the sound of metal clashing.

The two knives collided together, Lei Zhe squinted at the old man in front of him, and asked calmly, "Do all the people in the Yanagi family like to peep?" ”

"Do the little ghosts wandering outside greet people with knives? When did the world become so scary? "The sword hero of the Yanagi family, Yanagi Minmu Zhai said to Lei Zhe with a smile...
