Although he single-handedly saved most of the old and weak women and children in the village, a fire still burned down the village.

After discussing with each other, the villagers decided to go to the bottom of the mountain together to find the men who were working at the bottom of the mountain.

In the future, let's move completely, the Yuan army allows them to live in the city, and even allocates land to the landless, maybe there is new hope there.

The grandmother of the house next door was still persuading Hatsuhime, "Hatsuhime, it is impossible for us civilians to be with their samurai, and samurai can only marry women from the samurai family or the princess's family."

As a mountain dweller, you didn't even have the right to live in the castle town in the past, so you are not worthy of climbing that person.

Live with your father in the castle town, or get some land to earn a living, and marry a farmer's son in the future, it will definitely be good for you. ”

Hatsuhime shook her head, "Grandma, please tell my father, and I'll come back to him when I send Mr. Kagami out of Kyushu." ”

The old grandmother could only shake her head, told her to be careful, and followed the villagers down the mountain.

Ren Kagai fixed his wounds again, and now that Kyushu had completely fallen, he had to head north to Shikoku to the land of.

Kagami Ren really didn't expect Fan Zhuoyuan's army to be so powerful, and in such a short period of time, he would completely defeat Shaoji Dazai.

Now as a ronin, there is no way for him to fight such a strong enemy.

He planned to go to the Harima Kokuho Kasan Ichishiro Temple to find his master, and then do training to improve his strength.

While he was thinking about it, Hatsuhime came over with dry food.

"Mr. Kagajing, the villagers have already left, let's go down the mountain too."

Kagami Ren looked at the other party in surprise, "Miss Hatsuhime, why don't you go with them, stay with me, you will always be hunted down by the Yuankou, and now I can't protect you." ”

Chu Ji's eyes turned to the side, "It is precisely because you are still wanted by the Yuan Army that I can cover you, I have a household registration and I am a weak woman, and you are with me and pretend to be a couple, they will let their guard down......"

Kagami Ren thought about it, and now it seems that this is the only way to leave Kyushu Island safely, so he agreed.

After descending the mountain, the two went through a lot of hardships.

Now Fan Zhuoyuan has issued a sword hunting order and a ban on martial arts in the occupied area, prohibiting unofficial personnel from carrying and collecting blades, even if it is a short soldier!

Even former samurai must take the initiative to hand in the katana, otherwise the whole family will be punished.

Although it caused great resistance, it was also forcibly suppressed by extremely cruel means.

Kagami Ren has done it many times, but fortunately, his martial arts are excellent, and he has done a lot of chivalrous battles in the past, and with the help of some merchants and people who sympathize with him, he finally escaped to a private port under the chaos caused by the ban on martial arts, and went north on a fishing boat to.

Kagami Ren was originally going to be separated when he was sent out to sea by Hatsuhime, but it was too chaotic on land, and once he encountered the Yuan army and samurai or robbers, Hatsuhime, a weak woman, had absolutely no ability to resist, so she simply took it with her.

Hatsuhime fished the sea water with her hands, quietly looked at Kagai Ren and asked, "Mr. Kagawai, who are you looking for when you go to Kyoto this time?" ”

Ren Kagajing said while rowing, "Go find my master." ”

"Mr. Kagai's master? That swordsmanship must be very strong. ”

Hitoshi Kagai said with a smile, "He was born in Kashima, and when he was young, he traveled all over Japan and challenged many kendo rings, and he didn't lose a single one.

But he also offended a lot of people because of this, and his middle age often spent time chasing and killing, killing and being killed, he sharpened an incomparable killing sword.

Kill until no one dares to hunt him down anymore, as for the swordsmanship, it is enough to glimpse it only from the fact that all the people who killed him in the past have passed away, and he is still alive and well. ”

Hatsuhime couldn't help but wonder, "Then with your master's strength, can you defeat the leader of Yuankou......

Jing Jingren's voice was suddenly a little hoarse, and he said, "His name is Fan Zhuoyuan, even if it is my master, I dare not guarantee it."

Master is already very old, and when I was sixteen years old, he was already seventy years old...... And I was also the last closed disciple he accepted.

Now he lives in seclusion in the Ichibanji Temple of Hohua Mountain in Harima Country, and he is ordained as a monk, and his Dharma name is Ami Ciyin. ”

Exemption is similar to the teacher of the Central Plains, and Jingjing Ren became a teacher at the age of sixteen, which is enough to show his high talent.

Chu Ji said, "Then isn't your master now in his eighties?" ”

Jingjing Ren nodded and said: "Yes, even a swordsman like him has lost his energy at this age, although it is not an ordinary swordsman who can get close, but he no longer has the strength of his youth."

Sometimes I really envy the martial arts inheritance on the Central Plains, you can accumulate true qi all year round, even if you are very old and your physical vitality is not as good as before, you can also smile and be proud in terms of internal strength. ”

As he spoke, Hitoshi Kagami looked at the mountains on the shore of Harima Province.

"My elder brother Hojo Nagahide inherited the mantle of the master and opened a swordsmanship hall under the Ichijoji Temple, officially establishing the master's school of swordsmanship, called Ichito-ryu!

On the battlefield, killing or being killed is decided in a split second, so the first blow is usually the last.

One sword flow is to exert the most powerful power on the initial blow to completely crush the opponent. ”

Hatsuhime remembered that when Hitoshi Kagami fought with those samurai who had turned into robbers, his shots were basically one-hit kills, and he immediately deeply understood the meaning of a sword flow.

"Mr. Kagawai, is your senior brother stronger than you?"

Kagami Ren smiled: "This, I'm afraid only the master has the right answer in his heart." ”

After the two went ashore, they were interrogated by the shogunate samurai, and Hitoshi Kagami bribed him with two silver ingots and was successfully released.

After finding an inn to rest for the night, I rushed to Fahua Mountain.

The mountainside is full of people, and even in this time of war, many people still go up the mountain to pay their respects.

Among them, there were many samurai dressed in Taoist robes, and they went to the mountains early in the morning.

There is a kendo hall in a secluded place, and before Kagami Ren and Hatsuhime have even walked nearby, they have heard the sound of sword practice coming from inside, which is very high and intense.

Kagami Ren nodded to Hatsuhime and said, "This is the kendo hall opened by my senior brother Hojo Nagahide. ”

When the two came to the door, Kagami Ren reported his family name and identity, and the disciples guarding the door hurriedly reported to the hall owner.

Hojo Nagahide immediately greeted his disciples, this is a sturdy Angzo middle-aged man, the height is the same as Kagami Ren, and also the same as the Central Plains, and he is already a giant in Japan.

But he was stronger than Kagai Ren, and the knife he wore at his waist was longer and wider.

After coming to the door, he hugged Jingjingren's shoulders with very enthusiastic hands, "Since the invasion of Yuankou, Master and we have missed you very much!" ”
