"See clearly?" Iwai Hosoyanagi whispered.

"My lord, the one wearing the city maiden hat must be Princess Akihime, but it's just ......" Akutsu Haruyama hesitated, not knowing whether to talk about it or not.

Iwai Hosoyanagi glared at him: "It's just what, didn't you hear what Hatta-sama said? If we can't bring back Princess Akihime, going back will be the same fate as Yoshida. ”

All the ninjas had palpitations, thinking about the cross nails nailed to Yoshida's head, and they all nodded yes.

Akutsu Haruyama hurriedly bowed down and said, "My lord, there is a person next to Princess Minghime who seems to be the Wind Sword Hero Jiuye Quan. ”

"What?"

Iwai Hosyanagi exclaimed, "Are you sure you're not mistaken?" The other three ninjas also looked at Akutsu Haruyama with a look of surprise and horror.

"My lord, can't you believe my eyes? When I was in Kyoto, the Wind Sword Hero Kuno Izumi and the Wild Wave Sword Hero Yukimura Kasanichi battled, and I happened to be watching from the sidelines. Yukimura Kazo took the three swords of Kuno Spring, and his right hand was cut off by one of his swords, and he deserves to be the eldest disciple of the sword saint Tsukahara Buchuan. Although the person just now looked a little down, it must be the Wind Sword Hero Jiuye Quan......"

Speaking of this, Akutsu Haruyama looked at Iwai Hosoyanagi and said slowly: "My lord, these few of us are not the opponents of the Wind Sword Hero Jiuye Spring at all, Yanagida-kun and the three of them are afraid that they will die under the Sword of the Wind Sword Hero Jiuno Spring." ”

Iwai Hosoyanagi took a deep breath, looked at the people who were looking at each other, shook his head and said: "The Wind Sword Hero Jiuye Izumi has been expelled from the shrine by the Sword Saint Tsukahara Buchuan, no matter how powerful he is, there is only one person, and I still have two dragon incense sticks on my body." Tsunaka, you go and follow them from afar, and see where they rest at night. ”

The figure of a small ninja flashed and disappeared into the shadows of the tree on the side of the road.

After Tanaka left, Iwai Hosoyanagi thought about it, looked at Akutsu Haruyama, and said, "You go and tell Hatta-sama that Princess Akihime is guarded by the Wind Sword Hero Kuno Spring." If I don't come back tomorrow morning, ask him to tell my father that Iwai Hosoyanagi is not greedy for life or death as his son. ”

Akutsu Haruyama was slightly stunned, looked at Iwai Hoshiyanagi, and couldn't help but feel sad: "My lord......"

"Go!" Iwai Hosoyanagi waved his hand, and Akutsu Haruyama turned away. Hosoyanagi Iwai watched him leave and muttered, "Everything is for the Hatta family." He turned his head to look at the remaining two ninjas and said, "Akasaka, Kishitani, tonight is the time for us to give everything to the Hatta family. ”

......

"Two years ago, Oda Nobunaga, the daimyo (king) of Owari Province, supported Ashikaga Yoshiaki as shogun. What no one could have imagined was that he would succeed in Los Angeles in half a month. Our Rokkaku family was forced to leave Omi Province and flee to the Koga area. The Hatta family, one of the fifty-three families of Koga, wanted to take the next step, and they killed the young master of the Rokkaku family and forced me to marry Hatta Kanaya. Fortunately, the old master reported in advance, and we escaped from Koga ......with the help of our brother Takeshi Matsuyama."

"It's a pity that the Hatta family is still unwilling to let us go, and the old master died to save me on the way to escape. So Ming Ji promised the old master to bring his relics back to Daming. My brother escorted me all the way here, and I wanted to flee to Daming together. However, my brother-in-law still died, and I was seriously injured. If it weren't for the meeting of Michicho and Kuno-kun, Akihime would have been a corpse and would have been carried back to Hatta's house......"

Bai Yujing didn't care whether Kitahara Chiaki's statements were true or not, he just needed someone to take him to Mt. Fuji.

Kuno Izumi was a little emotional: "Speaking of Oda Nobunaga, when I traveled with my master more than 20 years ago, I passed through Owari Province and heard of his name, and everyone said that he was a big fool of Owari Province. I don't want the big fool of the past to occupy Kyoto, coerce the emperor shogunate, control the daimyo of the country, and the world is full of martial arts, and he is really a great hero!"

When Bai Yujing heard him say this, he suddenly thought of Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms, coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and couldn't help laughing: "It seems that this Oda Nobunaga is the most powerful name in your country." ”

Jiuno Izumi smiled lightly: "That's not necessarily, Takeda Shingen of Kai Country, Kami Kenshin of Echigo Country, and even the Maori family here are all powerful, and Oda Nobunaga is currently just occupying the righteousness." However, if there is anyone who can unify Japan, I think Oda Nobunaga is the most likely daimyō. ”

"Kuno-kun, the great righteousness is no longer in Oda Nobunaga. Last month, Shogun Ashikaga Yoshiaki joined forces with Echizen's Asakura family and Kita-Omi Asai family to attack Oda Nobunaga. Kitahara Chiaki said suddenly.

Jiuye Quan laughed: "Also, it is difficult for the public family to act, and the martial arts family dominates the world." Fathers and sons are enemies, servants are in rebellion, and there is no righteousness or righteousness in the world today. Hey, I just hope someone can put an end to these troubled times. ”

Bai Yujing didn't like politics in the first place, and he was not Japanese, so he didn't know the current situation in Japan, so he didn't care much about what Kuno Quan and Ming Ji said. He looked at the sky, it was already sunset, and said with a smile: "I have to stay outside tonight." ”

The first impression that Japan gave Bai Yujing was that there were many mountains in this place, and there were mountains of all sizes everywhere, and the land for farming was extremely scarce. The three of them went out of Hizen Country, and after walking for most of the day, they wanted to go to the city to rest, but they caught up with the Otomo family and the Ryuzoji family to fight, and had to continue walking.

It can be said that it is a journey to the mountains and waters, and when it is dark at this time, the three of them have finally found a broken temple to accommodate.

The temple has long been dilapidated, leaking on all sides, listening to Jiuye Spring said that the monks in the temple were either arrested and became soldiers, or defected to other countries. At present, in the whole of Japan, the power of the Tsuyo Sect is extremely large, no less than any other country, with tens of thousands of warrior monks.

And Bai Yujing listened to Jiuyequan say that the monks of the Yizong sect do not abstain from meat and vegetarianism, and they can even marry wives and have children, as long as they chant "Nan Wu Amitabha Buddha" can reduce their sins and become a Buddha on the spot. I couldn't help but be horrified, if the Ming monks were like this, how could any monk be willing to be a Taoist.

No wonder Daomen can't gain a foothold in Japan, Bai Yujing said secretly in his heart.

It was night, and the moon was shining. On the fourth watch, when people were most tired, there were a few uninvited guests outside the temple.

Bai Yujing immediately felt the strangeness outside, and Jiuye Spring, which was not far from him, also opened his eyes instantly. Only Kitahara Chiaki seemed to be still asleep, half-hunched, and his expression was peaceful under the moonlight.

It had been a long time since she had slept like this.

Jiuye Quan didn't stand up immediately, but peeked at Bai Yujing. looked at Bai Yujing sitting cross-legged, with a look of sadness or joy on his face. For some reason, Izumi Kuno suddenly thought of his elderly master. In recent years, Master has not liked to lie down and sleep, but likes to sit like Bai Yujing, saying that it is to nourish the spirit.

Suddenly, a puff of white smoke blew in by the breeze. Under the bright moonlight, it is like fog and dust.

Jiuye Quan suddenly knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly held his breath, and a carp rolled to the corner of the ruined temple. I saw him leap through the broken doors and windows like a dragon.

Outside the temple, Iwai Hosoyanagi ordered Nobuhide Akasaka and Shiro Kishitani to light the dragon incense, and his heart suddenly throbbed. I saw a figure suddenly burst out of the temple, and immediately exclaimed, "Not good!" Several cross nails flew out with both hands stretched out.

"Whoosh ......"

Shrouded the figure like a goddess scattering flowers.

Jiuyequan seems to have expected that there was an ambush outside the temple, and the knife on his waist was "dang" out of the sheath. He is the eldest disciple of the Kashima Jingu Sword Saint Tsukahara Buden, known as the Swift Wind Sword Hero. Its sword technique is like a gale, and it has obtained the true legend of Tsukahara's Buchuan, and he fights against people, and pays attention to killing with one move.

Therefore, the speed of the knife technique is enough to make the heroes of the rivers and lakes look sideways.

And as people say: the world's martial arts, only fast and not broken!

This is the best way to describe the Japanese swordsmen, who never had too many tricks in their swordsmanship. only pay attention to fast, accurate and ruthless, and even give up defense to attack against attack. In the past, Liu Mingsheng's swordsmanship was the same, each sword went straight to the end, and it was left to the open. But often before you can catch his empty door, his sword is already in front of you.

Although Jiuyequan's shot is not as good as Liu Mingsheng, it is not trivial, no worse than the first-class masters of Daming Jianghu. Even, if the first-class masters in the rivers and lakes don't pay attention to it a little, I'm afraid that they will have to die under the knife of Jiuye Spring!

Because the speed at which he drew his knife was indeed too fast!

At this time, the seven or eight o'clock cross nails appeared in the eyes of Jiuye Spring, and Jiuye Spring's knife drew several arcs in a row. The sword light was like moonlight, and it was shining all over the sky.

And Iwai Hosoyanagi only made this move, and before he could take out the short dagger in his sleeve, he saw a bright white sword light. The next moment it was dark and I didn't know anything. Seeing this, Nobuhide Akasaka and Shiro Kishitani both shouted loudly, and each held a short blade in their hands and rushed towards Kuno Spring.

Behind them, Tanaka's figure flashed and disappeared into the shadows.

Nobuhide Akasaka rushed ahead, and when he was about to rush in front of Izumi Kuno, he suddenly glanced at Shiro Kishitani. Shiro Kishitani suddenly understood what he meant, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

"Wow-"

Kuno Izumi's knife was swung again, and Akasaka Nobuhide was like a moth to a fire, not afraid of life and death.

But Shiro Kishitani squatted on the ground and disappeared from Kuno Quan's sight. Just as Izumi Kuno slashed Akasaka Nobuhide with one sword, Shiro Kishitani suddenly appeared behind him.

"Earth Escape?"

Jiu Yequan threw himself forward, but the knife in his hand folded back, like a spinning crescent moon.

However, Tatari Tanaka, who had disappeared into the shadows earlier, suddenly appeared in the ruined temple and slammed into the sleeping Kitahara Chiaki with a short blade. Looking at his expression, he obviously only wants Kitahara Chiaki's life, where is it like Kitahara Chiaki said that the Hatta family forced her to marry Hatta Kanaya.

It's just that the short blade didn't stab Ming Ji, Tanaka only felt a tightening of his wrist, and then the whole person was fluttering, like walking on the clouds.

The wind was whistling in his ears, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that he was back outside the temple.

And Shiro Kishitani was already in a different place at this time, and Kuno Izumi's cold eyes were staring at him, and Tanaka suddenly felt like falling into an ice cave.

"No ......"

Takira Tanaka exclaimed, and flashed into the shadows again. Although his speed was fast, it was no faster than Kuno Quan's sword.

Mikasa-gun, Hatta Zhen listened to Akutsu Haruyama's report, his eyebrows were tangled together, and he didn't speak for a long time.

"If that person is really a sword hero, Iwai won't be able to come back. He looked at the sky: "Let's leave overnight and go to Nagato Province." ”
