Without waiting for Nagasaka to stop him, Nagasaka Nobumasa jumped to the center of the field, brandished a few spears left and right, and posed a stabbing gun stand at Jingzhen.

At this time, Kyogoku Takayoshi's mood changed inexplicably, and he patted Nagasaka Shoushige's arm with a smile, stopping him from scolding Nagasaka Nobumasa, and said to Jingzhen with interest:

"We have already comprehended the wisdom of His Royal Highness Jingzhen, are you willing to show me some bravery?"

Seeing such a situation, Jingzhen sighed secretly. He was forced by Kyogoku Takayoshi's words, and if he retreated at this time, he would definitely bear the name of weakness and incompetence, which would be a big loss for the samurai. If you have the ambition to achieve great things, you must cherish your reputation now, otherwise you have no money, no soldiers and no name, how to gather talented and good generals?

I could only walk into the arena calmly, took a knife, and bowed to Nagasaka Nobumasa:

"Please give me advice from His Highness Shinmasa."

Then he made a gesture of the sword.

"Is the Katori Shinto stream from the family straight down? Some meanings" Nagasaka Mamoru sighed lightly, and saw Jingzhen's heels.

As the saying goes, an inch is long and an inch is strong.

The spear in Nagasaka Nobumasa's hand is an authentic three-room gun, fifteen centimeters from head to tail, although it is made of wood, but the old bamboo and oak that have grown for many years are selected, which has enough toughness and hardness, and can easily take people's lives on the battlefield.

I saw him open the door, the gun body facing forward, and grabbed Jing Zhen in front of him without saying a word, it was a random stab, looking at the posture was to knock down Jing Zhen within three or four moves, and divide the victory and defeat, the momentum was very different from when he was fighting with Mi Yuan Hui just now. Kyogoku Gaoji, who knew his bravery and had the heart to see Jingzhen's embarrassment, couldn't help but feel worried, for fear that this reckless man would poke Jingzhen out of three long and two short.

On the other hand, Jingzhen seems to have only the strength to parry, and only cares about trying to block the attack of Nagasaka Nobumasa's one shot faster than one shot, just like a flat boat tossing in a storm.

However, as time passed, the boat slowly turned into a rock, and it seemed to be embarrassed under the storm, but there was always a little room to spare.

After another quarter of an hour, Nagasaka Nobumasa's breathing became heavier and heavier, and the sharp offensive gradually became difficult to maintain, while Jingzhen's block became more and more relaxed. Eventually, the empty door in front of Nagasaka Nobumasa's chest suddenly turned from defense to attack, and he cleanly slammed off his spear and hung the sword on his chest.

Winners and losers are decided. Nagasaka Nobumasa was still unconvinced, but Nagasaka Morishige had already forcibly pulled him to his side and stood up obediently and praised

"Defeat the enemy with weakness, and one blow will be hit. This is swordsmanship, but also the art of war! Katori Shinto is indeed worthy of its reputation, and His Royal Highness's kendo master is much better than the old decay! ”

When Jingzhen watched the battle between Nagasaka Nobumasa and Mibuchi Teru, she saw through the weakness of Nagasaka Nobumasa's strength and lack of stamina. Therefore, he deliberately showed weakness, let the opponent attack first, and then give a sharp counterattack when the opponent's strength subsided, and finally achieved the final victory.

When he was complacent about his victory over a Warring States celebrity and longing for the name of the Sword Saint, he suddenly heard Nagasaka Morishige mention the long dead teacher, and he couldn't help but feel down. Suddenly lost the interest in talking, and left according to Kyogoku Takayoshi's words.

After that, the internal and external busyness was omitted. Within a few days, the forging house operated by Jingzhen was officially opened with the support of Kyogoku Takayoshi, and in addition to the conventional accidents such as copper and iron forging and gold and silver processing, our specialty service is the processing of bad money into "Yongle money".

In the beginning, merchants and daimyo of all stripes swept through in swarms like fishy flies, almost crowding the small houses. However, when they learned that two thousand bad dollars and a lot of copper could be used to process the consistent "Yongle money", and even had to take a certain handling fee, the quality of the "Yongle money" was far better than that of ordinary "Yongle money" and could not retain them, and only a few rich people with a little spare money provided less business.

In just one week, the once popular forging house in Beijing has returned to the state of being a bird, but Jingzhen still gritted her teeth and persevered for more than two months.

During this period, Nobumasa Nagasaka and Teru Mibuchi seemed to rely on themselves, and they came almost every day alone or in pairs.

One shouted that he didn't accept the previous failure, and he was always unconvinced every time he lost more and won less, and then came to the door to challenge the next day, which made Jingzhen feel a big headache.

One insisted on treating Jingzhen of the same age as a great talent, pestering him to learn to argue and govern, and even proposed apprenticeship, which also made Jingzhen unable to dodge.

But after all, they are all half-grown children of the same age, and they have made trouble, and they have secretly drunk sake a few times together at an izakaya, and the three of them have gradually become acquainted. After getting closer, Jingzhen even mentioned that she has admired Mibuchi Haruhin's waka (actually the unborn son of the greedy family) and Nagasaka Morishige's marksmanship for a long time, and has always been eager to meet and learn. The two heard that Jingzhen respected her parents so much, so they did not hesitate to recommend them. After going back and forth, he gradually got into the relationship between the Mibuchi clan and the Nagasaka clan.

At a young age, he was entrusted with a heavy task (illusion) by the overlord Niko's clan, and his methods were old and spicy, and he was strategic, proficient in civil and military affairs, and the impression that gradually formed made Mibuchi Haruha and Nagasaka Morishige pay more and more attention to Jingzhen, and naturally they poured their money into Jingzhen.

Waka aside. When Jingzhen asked Nagasaka Morishige to learn marksmanship, he found that although Nagasaka Morishige was over fifty years old, his marksmanship was old and fierce, and he had been trained on the battlefield for many years, which was of great benefit to his own theoretical school that lacked practice. After practice, in addition to the introduction of battlefield marksmanship, Jingzhen also broke through the bottleneck and made great progress under the swordsmanship that he had practiced for many years, and in the daily battle with Nagasaka Nobumasa, he also changed from seven wins in ten battles to a complete victory, which made the latter depressed.

However, since leaving Izumo, no years of calm and leisurely have been enough to extinguish the flame in Keisha's heart. When he felt that the drama was enough, and the area around the forge house and smelting furnace could no longer detect prying eyes, Jingzhen said goodbye to Kyogoku Takayoshi with seven points of loss, and entrusted the forge house, smelting furnace and hired workers to the care of the Kyogoku clan.

On this day, Kyogoku Takayoshi, Mibuchi Haruto and Nagasaka Morishige jointly held a banquet to bid farewell to Jingzhen.

In the midst of the staggered planning, in the face of the teachings of Mibuchi Haruhin and Nagasaka Morishige, and the reluctance in the eyes of Nagasaka Nobumasa and Mibuchi Teru, Jingzhen was also suddenly in a trance. Before parting, seeing that Jingzhen opened his mouth but finally didn't say anything, Mibuchi Huiren stood up suddenly, walked to Jingzhen and stood still, and began:

"Brother Jingzhen! I'm a rough man, and I only speak straight when I have something to say. I am the grandson of the family, although my father dotes on me, but there is no possibility of inheriting the family business, so I have already made up my mind to go out and set up a career as an adult. But when I met my eldest brother under fate, I felt that you were far better than me in both civil and military affairs, and I was ashamed! ”

"So, if the eldest brother doesn't give up, please leave me before and after the saddle!"

Hearing this, Nobumasa Nagasaka couldn't help but be excited: "Me too!" ”

Jingzhen thought about it again and again just now, and finally struggled to let go of the idea of recruiting the two, but she didn't expect to be proposed by the two of them, and she was happy to regain it. But he also knew that at this time, it would be decided by Mibuchi Haruha and Nagasaka Mamoru after all, so he raised his eyes and looked at the two of them.

Seeing Jingzhen's longing eyes and the performance of his children and grandchildren, the two exchanged looks with each other, and Mibuchi Qingyuan began with him:

"Not so."

Before the three of them changed color, Mibuchi Qingren continued

"Governing the country is the most taboo nepotism. If you want to follow Jingzhen, you will set the name of master and slave at this moment. If you don't want to, don't mention it now. ”

Almost overwhelmed by the surprise of the mountain loop, Jingzhen sat down solemnly, and was deeply bowed by Nagasaka Nobumasa and Mibuchi Teru, and officially agreed to the two of them: "I don't have a job now, and I can't grant the birth, so I can only give the two of them 50 yuan for the time being." After that, let me and other brothers support each other and carry forward the family business together! ”
