Besides, Atsushi Nishizawa and Aya Watanabe also have a so-called "bad relationship" between the two people. It is not so much a bad relationship between these two people as it is a partner who grew up together, although the two have already stepped up at this time. different paths.

Even Jun Nishizawa and Taro Koga didn't know that Aya Watanabe after getting married was relatively ordinary. After all, he himself was not a person who lived for power, but no one thought that a year later, Aya Watanabe's wife passed away suddenly, and this incident also became the reason why Aya Watanabe returned to the arena and made some "heroic" deeds.

Unexpectedly, none of Aya Watanabe and Atsushi Nishizawa made the first move, and they didn't even move their bodies. On the contrary, Takashi Yoshida yelled something, and wanted to rush up and chop a few knives, but was caught Aya Watanabe's indifferent reaction extinguished the momentum.It's not that you can't fight if you lose your momentum, but he suddenly realized that this should be the "grievance" between Watanabe Aya and Nishizawa Jun. According to morals, he has no reason to take action unless the situation is too serious to be able to fight. redeem.

I don't know how long he stood like this inexplicably, before Aya Watanabe moved his body and put away the knife without warning. This action shocked the man in blue who was standing in front of him.Aya Watanabe's gaze shifted from Atsushi Nishizawa to Maureen, and he stared fixedly for a long time.

Watanabe Aya said: "This is Maureen, um, we met in the Koga family's mansion three years ago."

Maureen blinked and ignored it.

First of all, she didn't know what Watanabe Aya meant when he said these words to her; secondly, he didn't have any good feelings for those who were enemies of his father.I saw that the little red-haired girl raised the knife a little higher without hesitation, but kept walking backwards.

The unicorn decorations are shining under the dim light in the teahouse, as if there are really a group of unicorn beasts in ancient Chinese legends that are about to move on it.However, Qilin's eyes were a bit dim. It seemed that his eyes were sunken due to poor performance or other reasons.

But the reason for this is naturally clear to Yoshida Shoyo and others—the sunken area was originally used by Atsushi Nishizawa to put the stones left by the gods, and it was broken a few days ago.

"Oh? Is this 'Red Scale'?" Watanabe Aya said thoughtfully while rubbing her chin with one hand.Obviously, the purpose of his trip was not to take someone's head back to claim credit, but to be interested in the knife in Maureen's hand, no, maybe he wanted to keep the knife as his own.

Yoshida Matsuyo and Yoshida Takashi exchanged glances, and took a few steps forward, trying to protect Maureen behind them.Aya Watanabe smiled and said, "Don't be so guarded against me, old friends. I just sighed when I saw a good knife." He suddenly laughed three times, like a madman, and then he I took my own words: "Women are soft and cold, and they are suitable for using swords, so why bother to wield swords? I said Chuna, you were taken away by that 'little fish' right? You have changed from a warrior to a seemingly A gentle rogue. Hmph, let my daughter carry this kind of knife that doesn't suit her. Isn't this a waste of a good knife? It's a waste for a woman to wield a knife."

Maureen said angrily: "What are you talking about? You are not allowed to insult my parents! So what if a woman dances with a knife? As long as she dances well, she can still achieve success in the world."

Aya Watanabe shrugged, and said: "Hahahahaha, the little girl has the same temper as her temper, she is not small, Chun, she looks a bit as arrogant as you used to be." At this point, he paused very deliberately, his eyes wandering Looking at Atsushi Nishizawa who had already moved to the window, he folded his arms around his chest and looked at him with a calm expression, while Guga Hualing beside him had disappeared.It must be that he is still worried about the lore order issued by the shogunate against ninjas, for fear that something will happen to him.

It's always good to have a sense of crisis.

Seeing that Xi Zechun didn't respond, Xu Shi continued: "I'm not saying that women can't wield knives, I just said that it's too wasteful for you to use this knife. No, except for one person, no one else is qualified to control this knife." A knife. A knife also has feelings and a soul. A good knife knows how to choose its own owner. Don’t you know how important and unique this knife your father gave you is?”

"I don't know." He answered firmly.

Aya Watanabe had already taken out a knife and pulled it hard, only then did everyone realize that it was clearly a half-broken knife.Yoshida Matsuyo's expression changed slightly, while Yoshida Takashi completely entered a state of depression, as if he had seen a ghost.The two brothers naturally knew the origin of the knife in Aya Watanabe's hand.In any case, this is a really good knife, almost no knife can cut her in two, let alone the cut surface is so flat.

"This is...?" Kato Hidesuke asked.

"This knife can be regarded as a very famous knife in the past. It is called 'Qingfeng'. It is made by the same swordsmith as the 'Red Scale' in the hands of this little girl, Maureen. It will not be broken. This knife has gone through several twists and turns, and finally got into my hands. Compared to the original owner who didn’t know how to use him, this knife suffered such grievances. But no matter how good the user is Garbage, the toughness and rigidity of the knife will not change, and ordinary attacks will never make him like this. Only when 'Red Scale' is in Chun's hands, can 'Qingfeng' be made like this..."

"What do you want to say?" Nishizawa Jun said.

"Take up your knife again and cooperate with me. Help the heaven and man together with me. You can no longer expect the current shogunate to protect the people of Edo and the city of Edo... Jun..." Before Watanabe waited After Aya finished speaking, everyone heard a strange sound similar to "dong dong dong", and then heard a roar that could almost deafen his ears:

"Voi!!! Maureen Caesar!! You stuffed the caterpillar into my knife, bastard!!" I saw Squalo's face was ashen, and he was holding a knife that was still dripping with strange green slime. The knife rushed straight at Maureen, and slashed down without hesitation, but missed.

Maureen supported the coffee table with one hand, jumped up, and went around to the other side.Watanabe Aya suddenly closed his mouth, watching the confrontation between the two children with great interest, but Nishizawa Jun unexpectedly came to Watanabe Aya and talked to him.According to the shape of his mouth, Yoshida Matsuyo can more or less guess something, nothing more than asking questions like "Why Watanabe Aya became like this", but they all know that there will be no answers to these questions .

Nishizawa is buying time.

Nishizawa is buying time to prove to Aya Watanabe that "Red Scale" should be owned by Maureen.

Squalo swung his hand back, and the knife went towards Maureen's shoulder blade.Quickly dodging the attack, Squalo did not give Maureen a chance to breathe, and the continuous attacks forced Maureen to retreat to the corner of the teahouse.But Squalo was not very happy about this result, on the contrary he was a little angry.

He naturally knew that Maureen was not a weak person. Naturally, her swordsmanship could not be inferior to his own. Well, even if she was inferior to him, she would not be forced into a corner by him in this way, and there seemed to be nowhere to escape.This nasty little ghost seemed to be giving in to himself, and didn't intend to fight with him.

And what was Maureen thinking?It was indeed similar to what Squalo had in mind, but the fundamental reason was not that he didn't want to fight, but that he was a little frightened and couldn't react for a while.In the past three years, Squalo seems to have dismissed Yoshida Matsuyo, but in fact he has memorized his swordsmanship, swordsmanship, footwork, and the swordsmanship of Yoshida Takashi and Nishizawa Jun, and integrated My own habits have formed my own new style of swordsmanship.

Dancing with swords is very suitable for Squalo.

Sighing lightly, Maureen turned her wrist and waved her other hand backhand. Squalo really dodged to the right, and then he was kicked by Maureen firmly, and he was kicked by Maureen. Freed from the predicament.

And Maureen was not in a hurry to take advantage of the victory and pursue the attack. She hesitated for a while looking at the knife in her hand, and quickly pulled back her thoughts.Push hard, step on the handrail of the stairs, and then take out a rope with a hook from his arms, and flick it upwards, the hook is firmly hooked on the beam, and Maureen is just like Tarzan of the ape, Swipe across the air, stare at Squalo's back with his feet, this kick stunned Squalo for a few seconds.

Then he threw the knife into the air, held it with his backhand, and stabbed it down hard. The knife went straight into the wooden floor a few centimeters from Squalo's neck, and more than half of the knife was no longer visible.

Aya Watanabe's expression became slightly serious, with a hint of approval on her cheek.A rough calculation shows that this silver-haired boy and Maureen are only children in their early eighties or nineties, so they are very proud to have such abilities.

Suddenly, almost subconsciously, he took out a dart from his pocket and threw it towards the edge of the stairs. A black shadow flashed past, and then he saw Santaro Koga sitting on the handrail of the stairs, dangling his legs , still had a very lazy smile on his cheeks, and said: "Maureen, does this little girl know how to use a lot of things, although the hook and claws are our ninja patents...but... The popular men under the general not only colluded with heaven and man, but also subconsciously resorted to ninja tricks, I said Watanabe Aya, what is the situation with you? Are you playing Mission Impossible?"

"Don't you know?" Nishizawa Jun said: "Aya is probably the only hidden ninja in Edo. Although he is a samurai, he has been interested in ninjutsu since he was a child. He secretly learned this technique behind his master's back." Said At this point he shook his head: "I thought that even though we took different paths, in the end we were still the same as before, wielding a knife with the purest heart, protecting the person we want to protect... It's just you now , is completely different from before.”

Suddenly, several children bounced up the stairs, and Yoshida Shoyo walked at the end of the group of children.On the other hand, Maureen reached out to lift Squalo from the ground, and the latter shook the knife in his hand vigorously, looking at the green object on the knife with disgust, with an expression of helplessness or distress.

Nishizawa Jun said: "I won't help you, Aya."

Yoshida Shoyo said: "As Changji said. The civilization of Edo is protected by us. We can't protect it. They have to protect it." After finishing speaking, he looked at the children with obvious personalities standing around him, Smiling, there was some melancholy and reluctance in his expression: "They are the continuation of our life, the continuation of our will...See? They are hope, and your despair is wrong."

"I am not in despair. Only by cooperating with the Heaven and Man can we regain Edo from them."

Yoshida Takashi said: "Your theory is fundamentally wrong. If you help the shogunate, maybe the people of Edo will have a future. But if you help Heaven and Man, the people of Edo will only be suppressed. Unless you just want Edo. Your knife is not protecting anyone, it is hurting."

"I've never thought about it that way." Aya Watanabe shook her head, "But I don't deny one thing - my knife is indeed hurting people. But if you want to protect people, you will definitely hurt people, as long as This knife is still in our hands, and the two will always coexist. I have seen the corruption of the shogunate with my own eyes, and I know that such people cannot save Edo, but even if you take action and win the Celestial Man, Edo will not change... ...There is no way to change it anymore. No matter which way we go, we have no choice... This is my choice - the way to protect Edo. We are all protecting people who are important to us, but in different ways."

What I see is only the tranquility on the surface, maybe there is uneasiness stirring in the dark.

In many cases, you are not able to change everything with the heart and strength; in many cases, you have to slowly accept the unchangeable reality.

The author has something to say:

History waste.I watched the history of the war against barbarians very seriously, and I said that I couldn't remember life and death, and I was in a daze state life and death.
