Sword Raiders II

The first meeting between Yamabukiri Nagayoshi and Master Honmaru was different from any previous Ichishinto.

When he emerged from the forge, he didn't see the god judge, but her servant on duty that day——

One of the five swords in the world, also has the reputation of "the most beautiful blade" and "the most famous thing among famous things".

"Ahahaha, welcome to this Honmaru, Changyi-kun." The handsome but grandpa-speaking Taidao young man greeted him with a smile, "My lord is temporarily unable to pick up the newcomers in person, so let the old man come over first for a while." Go. Let's go, I'll take you to see him."

Changyi frowned slightly. He was different from other swordsmen. He had been working in the current affairs department since he appeared. Naturally, he knew very well that generally in the sword forging room, the judges personally received the knives, but there were also some judges who suspected Please ask the valet to pick up the newcomer directly.Although it can't be said that the latter will definitely neglect his sword, but from the attitude, it is definitely not as good as the former.

It seems that he was unlucky to meet the latter, but it is not unacceptable if the person in charge of receiving and guiding is the distinguished Five Swords of the World.

only……

"Then I will trouble Your Excellency Sanriyue." The silver-haired Da Dao with a beautiful face smiled slightly, with a gentle and polite voice, "I am also curious about how graceful the current master is."

Just like the master will pick on the ability of his subordinates from all aspects, so why not be a subordinate in his heart.

He is really curious about whether this new master is qualified to be his real master Yamabuki Kirigayoshi.

Stepping out of the door of the forging room, the Taidao in cyan color Kari led the newcomer all the way forward, first through the vestibule along the corridor and then across the atrium, and finally arrived at the open-air martial arts arena built behind the Honmaru.

Changyi, who followed Sanriyue all the way, found that this Honmaru was built on the road, with mahogany, white walls, carved beams and painted buildings, and some places were even extravagantly painted with gold paint. Even empty warehouses where few people go A dilapidated place, very clean and tidy, you can tell that this Honmaru is not only rich in financial resources, but also has a lot of manpower to take care of and maintain it.

So that after Sanriyue led him to stop, Changyi was not surprised when he stopped in front of a very open martial arts arena.

The open-air martial arts arena was not deliberately built to be very flat, but very close to the natural features. There are many rocks on the sandy ground, surrounded by lush trees and vegetation, and the land is surrounded by an irregular area.

At this moment, in the center of the arena, a woman in kendo uniform was standing alone holding a bamboo knife in one hand, her slightly raised wrist represented the status quo that she was meeting the enemy.

This is the owner of this pill?

Yamabuki Nagayoshi raised his eyebrows slightly, and was about to turn his head to look at Mikazuki next to him, when there was a new change in the martial arts arena.

A short sword fusangshen rushed out of the shadow of the tree at some point, and appeared behind the woman in a blink of an eye, piercing the opponent fiercely with the body in his hand.

The woman seemed to be aware of it, and immediately turned halfway and raised her knife to defend. Suddenly, the crisp sound of metal and wooden tools knocking together came out of the field.

It's just that when she was defending the sneak attack from behind, she also rushed out two blades from the front at the same time. It was the wakizashi and the sword that were also very maneuverable. They both waved the main body and attacked the woman left and right without any hesitation. .

Hijikata Toshizo of the Shinsengumi Hijikata held the sword and wakizashi.

Changyi immediately recognized who was coming. The former owner of these two knives was a well-known actual combat swordsman. He was highly skilled in martial arts and did not stick to the fighting style at all. As long as he could kill the opponent, he would use any rogue technique.

It was the same this time, the pair of combined knives of the same former owner worked very well together, and the left and right attacks also filled all the gaps in front of the woman who was just dealing with the sneak attack, almost killing her.

And this raid was not over, as if fearing that the earthwork team would miss, the less maneuverable swords and guns also rushed out of the ambush and rushed towards the center of the fight, obviously to take over from the teammate's squad to continue Make up.

Changyi's toes moved slightly, and he instinctively wanted to rush over, but he just leaned forward slightly, and the besieged woman in the field had already changed his form in an instant.

From the sneak attack from the back of the dagger to the appearance of the Hijikata group and the follow-up Taidao one after another, the middle is only a few seconds apart, which can be said to be a rapid event that happened in the blink of an eye.

But within a few seconds, the moment the besieged blocked the sneak attack with the short knife with the bamboo knife, he directly used the force of the blow to fly out the petite Fusangshenge, and then without a pause, he used the sword close to the hilt. The blade of the sword blocked Izumi Mori Kanesada's domineering force towards her head and neck in the least effortful way.

She pressed down with both hands with a little force, and at the same time tapped her toes lightly. The whole person completed a somersault with the support of this attack, directly avoiding the threat of Horikawa Kunihiro cutting towards her legs, and also with the help of Izumi. Shou subconsciously pushed her away with the anti-shock force and leaped high into the air, and the whole person raised and lowered to break away from the dangerous siege.

When the woman jumped in the air, her arms spread out like a big bird, and she was still a ferocious falcon, because she had already set her sights on the Taidao who came after her, adjusted her posture, and rushed away directly, pressing her body like a shell To the rushing sword.

The movement was so fast that Tai Dao could see the opponent's attack with his eyes but had no time to adjust his posture. In the end, he let out a miserable cry and was directly pressed down heavily on the ground.The usual white-clothed and white-haired crane looks like a flat crane.

Taking advantage of the gap, the gun that came after Taidao immediately adjusted the direction of the spear tip, and took advantage of the long weapon to stab at the woman who was still suppressing Taidao before she had time to get up.

Stabbed!?

The moment the gun missed, the Japanese looked shocked, and instinctively began to doubt.This suspicion also became true when he tried to draw the weapon back but couldn't.

Where is the stabbing, it is clear that the opponent deliberately waited for him to shoot at this angle, and then directly clamped it with his armpit when the spear stabbed!

A bare hand held the cold gun barrel, and then tightened its fingers.

"Oops!" Japan had a bad premonition and it was too late when he wanted to pull away. The palm of his grip on the shaft was painful and his fingers were numb, and the body had already been taken away.

Subconsciously, he stretched out his hand to take it back, but his chest was hit hard by the gun barrel, which happened to be in the position where the human body is prone to gas.

The person who grabbed the long gun kept moving, adjusted the angle and swung the gun barrel to sweep towards the rear, sweeping the bunt threats that were chasing after him to the ground in one fell swoop, screaming in pain.

At this point, all the five-shock swords that had appeared on the field fell, and the battle situation seemed to relax along with the woman's relaxed muscles, and Yamabuki Choyoshi's mind could not help but relax.

In the next second, a sudden figure jumped out of the bushes and flashed from behind the woman, and the knife held high in his hand gleamed coldly in the sunlight.

The dirty and worn-out white cloth opened up in the air following the movements of the owner, and the beautiful face hidden in it was revealed in the shaking. The moment he saw the man's clothes and facial features clearly, Yamabuchi Nagayoshi's eyes suddenly became sharp.

Snapped!

After successive battles with Shuzhen Dao, the Bamboo Dao was finally overwhelmed and cut in two, and the broken half of the blade rolled and hit the ground heavily.

"Kill it, Yamabukiri!" Baba shouted excitedly after being beaten to the ground in the martial arts arena, "Finally destroyed the lord's weapon!"

While they were yelling, the battle was still going on. Fu Sangshen, who was holding a sword in his hand, didn't stop attacking after he chopped down the bamboo sword. Take a few steps back.

But the more at this time, the more you can see the gap. Even if the rhythm is disrupted due to the momentary loss of the weapon she is used to, the woman is still unscathed by the successive attacks.

While stepping on a steady pace, she deftly avoided the opponent's ultimate move, and at the same time took advantage of the situation to adjust the long gun that had been held in her hand. The length of the Japanese gun was not very suitable for her height. I feel that it is too heavy, but it is enough to deal with the enemy temporarily.

"Damn it, it's really despicable to take our weapons and counterattack!" Izumi Mamoru, who was thrown to the ground by the gun, held his painful abdomen and said bitterly. Your Highness is really merciless."

"You're more lenient, Mr. Kane." Horikawa, who was also sitting next to him, pressed his chest and smiled wryly, "If it's really a life-and-death struggle like that on the battlefield, the lord has probably cut us in half with the Japanese horn, instead of knocking us down with a pole. gone."

"That's it. We're already in the state of being slandered. It's useless to force an attack. It's better to save some resources." The dagger Yaoken, who was also knocked down in a row, has already conceded defeat, "Besides, the general's tactics are despicable. What, is your Shinsengumi really qualified? In order to defeat the enemy, Hijikata Toshizo even used the technique of throwing sand and throwing people's eyes very well?"

Kansang, who was refuted one after another: "..."

They were distracted and said a few words, but unexpectedly the battle over there had come to an end.

Only a sound of "dang" was heard, and the body in the hands of Fu Sangshen, who was covered in white cloth, was picked up by the spear and flew obliquely into the ground a few meters away, and Fu Sangshen was also knocked down and lay there, Three inches from the top of his neck was the sharp gun blade of the Japanese ship polished coldly.

"Oh! Lost again!" The uncle who had his body robbed sat down on the ground, sighed and slapped his thigh as if he had lost all energy, "Obviously I have made such a detailed attack combo plan."

"I can't win, I can't win." A few steps away, Tsurumaru also shook his head and sighed, sitting there cross-legged, not caring about his image of a crane at all, "Heyi team has competed so many times, and now it's ruined The lord's bamboo knife didn't even touch the real thing, and I began to wonder who is on the side of the god."

A team of Six Blades still used the method of ambush to attack first, and the best record achieved in the end was to destroy the bamboo sword used by the opponent for practice. When the swordsmen were frustrated, they all wanted to say that their masters were not human.

"But... at least it can be regarded as an improvement." Little Angel Horikawa concluded the consolation at the end, "At least we fought with the lord before, and even her bamboo knife was wiped out without destroying it."

All members of the sparring team: "..." Although it is true, it sounds even worse, what's the matter?

"It's not that I'm too strong." Throwing the heavy gun in his hand back to the Japanese ship, Yu Li reached out to lift up the felled swordsman, with a gentle expression, "It's because you are too weak now."

Before all the swordsmen could show their expressions of being stabbed in their chests, their master continued: "I have tested your training strength now, and it's time for you to practice extreme cultivation. Until then, the scene Definitely not the way it is now.”

polarization!

The eyes of all the knives on the scene lit up.

In this martial arts sparring, not only the swords and swords participating in the sparring were present, but the idlers who had no mission today in Honmaru all came to watch. When the master mentioned this, they all excitedly clamored, and many swords asked directly. From the specific details, it is also the instinct of the sword to desire to become stronger and have higher combat power.

"A more detailed arrangement is already being prepared. It is a ranking table based on your current practice level. You can go to the bulletin board to see it in the next few days." Yu Li didn't hold back, and directly said the final plan, excited sword Then they dispersed.

Kagemaru is also a member of the onlookers. He didn’t leave when most of the swords walked away. Except for some swords from the Heian period, Genji didn’t have much friendship with other swords. Even Hei’s little Karasuma was not It was very harmonious, so when the wounded swords were picked up by their brothers or friends in the martial arts arena and sent to the house, the knee ball did not move, but kept looking at the lord in the arena.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes time and time again, who would have imagined that such a weak and beautiful woman possessed such powerful strength, surpassing Quan Honmaru in an understatement, both military affairs and internal affairs were well organized and perfect, she could be called both civil and military .She is noble, elegant, beautiful and dignified like a princess hidden in the depths of a castle, and her decisive and confident mind is not inferior to any general of the samurai family.

If the elder brother came, he would definitely be very satisfied with the master.

On the other side, Yu Li, who had just evaluated the current strength of the sword from the martial arts field, was also taken aback when he saw the newcomer brought back by his servant.

She has been really busy since she decided to depolarize the swordsmen. The scene like the battle with Yaoken and Izumi Mori just now has been going on since yesterday. strength assessment.So she was surprised that a new knife would be forged today, and it was helpless for San Riyue to pick it up.

But I really didn't expect that it was Chang Yi who came this time.

"Hahaha, the rehearsal has been exhausting, and the master's strength is still unfathomable." Sanriyue greeted him with a smile at this time, and then introduced the newcomer to Yuli, "This is Yamabuchi Nagayoshi, who has been working at Shizheng before. , and now I have been transferred to Honmaru to join the battle."

"Thank you Sanriyue." Yu Li thanked him with a smile, probably because she showed too much of the aura of the master at the beginning, so that grandpa would not rely on the old and call her a little bit regretful as a little girl, but this kind of serious superior-subordinate relationship is also quite good. Well, it's better than crooked pink gemstones. Thinking of this, she turned to look at Yamabukiri Nagayoshi.

The beautiful swordsman who had been looking at her with a shocked look only came back to his senses when her gaze was fixed on him. He subconsciously straightened his back and lowered his head to salute solemnly: "I am Yamababa Kiri Nagayoshi, the swordsmith Nagayoshi of Bizen Osafune Forged song. First meeting, master."

He lowered his head and then raised his head, no matter in his eyes or his expression, he was completely convinced.

Seeing this, Yu Li also smiled: "Hello, Mr. Changyi. I am the God-inspector of this pill, code-named Xinggong, please give me your advice in the future."

The two sides were talking, but out of the corner of their eyes, they noticed a figure wrapped in a white cloth deliberately avoiding and sneaking out, as if they were very taboo about being discovered by someone.

But it was obviously too late, not only Yu Li and Chang Yi, but San Riyue also saw someone holding the white cloth on his head with both hands and slapping a knife as if he wanted to be airless.

"Yamabuki Kirihiro." With a faint female voice, he who stood stiffly on the spot became the focus of all eyes on the scene, "You stay, and I will go to the second floor with Yamabukiri Nagayoshi later. , I have something to tell you."

In an instant, including Sankaiyue, the expressions of all the swords that were still nearby became subtle.

…………

The original song of Yamabuki Kunihiro is here!

The master also called this song and the imitation knife to the second floor!

These two news quickly spread throughout the whole Honmaru after the exchange in the Martial Arts Field.

"Wow, the sudden bad news!" Qing Guang, who was working in the field, immediately showed a look of unbearable expression when he heard it.

"What does it have to do with me?" Yamato Mamoru felt that his partner was making trouble for no reason. Compared with Qingguang, who was delicate and easily surprised, Yamato Mori was more straightforward, "Besides, since the master dared to put them together, it means that she There are ways to deal with it, so let's not worry about it here."

"Am I worrying about it?" Qing Guang glared at him, "Didn't you listen to the other people in Honmaru? They came from Shizheng, and you can tell from their conversation and posture that they are very high-spirited. Such a knife can be countered. The imitation swordsman with his own name is polite?" California Qingguang was forged by a low-level swordsman, and he didn't say it, but in his heart he felt a little inferior to his own background, so he was particularly sensitive and cared about it.

Obviously, in this matter, he subconsciously took the side of imitating the knife.

"Probably you won't be polite." Yamato Moran's hand paused, and then he continued to reach out to pick ripe tomatoes with a calm expression, "But it's useless for you to worry about Yamaba. That's what the master is worried about." , How to deal with those two Yamabachiri, and how they get along in Honmaru in the future, only the master can perfectly intervene and solve them. Instead of thinking about these, you might as well finish the work early, and take a bath early when you turn back A hot spring is more comfortable.”

Qingguang couldn't help being silent, and then he sighed greatly, and stopped bluffing and continued harvesting with Yamato Mori.

In fact, Yu Li and Qing Guang have similar ideas, but as the host, she thinks more about this problem.

"You two, please."

The newly brewed two cups of tea were delivered to the two Yamabagiri by the friendly help of Katsumaru (you can’t count on a certain grandfather). Exit the room, leaving only the three talking inside.

The atmosphere in the room is very quiet, so quiet that it is a bit stiff, only the curling fragrance of tea is soothing and enveloping.

Yamabuki Nagayoshi looked down at the tea in front of him, and from the corner of his eyes, glanced at the stiff imitation knife beside him, pursed his lips and smiled: "Thank you, master." He had already picked up the tea and lowered his head to sip it lightly.

He is well-dressed, with a straight face, and the movements of raising a cup to drink tea are elegant, and his aristocratic temperament directly compares the Silent Imitation Knife who is wrapped in a dirty white cloth and kneels like a wooden man next to him to scum.

On weekdays, Dao Dao, who was very unconfident, became bleak by more than two grades after Ben Song arrived and sat aside.

This slight change in her expression did not escape the eyes of Chang Yi, who had been observing in secret. The silver-haired young man lowered his head and used a teacup to block the upturned corners of his lips, and also concealed the contempt cast towards the blade in his peripheral vision.

Vulnerable.

When we met for the first time, the proud Ben Ge commented on his imitation like this.

It seems that there is no need for him to do anything, and soon the entire Honmaru, including the lord, will know who the real Yamabagiri is, and this fake lord will continue to be bleak like this.

"I'm sorry Mr. Chang Yi, I couldn't go to the forging room to pick you up this time." The lord on the first seat said softly, "I just happened to be busy with the polarization of Honmaru these two days, so I didn't take care of you all of a sudden. .”

"You don't have to worry about such trivial matters." Yamabuchi Nagayoshi replied with a smile, the initial unhappiness after seeing the strength of the lord is not worth mentioning at all, "It's better to say that I am very lucky, and I will see it as soon as I come here Seeing how heroic you are in the Martial Arts Field, I am truly amazed."

Not only is it a display of strength, but it is also because of the calmness of walking in the garden under the relentless ultimate moves of the swordsmen, which is a skill that can only be practiced by truly walking between life and death. Even Nagiri Nagayoshi, who is as proud as a mountain, can't help but be impressed by his calmness in the face of danger and crushing counterattack under the fatal combined attack.

Hearing his sincere praise, the person in the first seat bent his lips and smiled, only to see her red lips lightly parted and asked.

"Then, if it's Nagayoshi-kun, how long can he last in the end when facing my counterattack like Kunihiro-kun?"

This question made Changyi, who had been smiling confidently, froze all over, subconsciously recalling and simulating the exercise in his mind.

If it was him, how long could he last under the lord's hands?

The more he calculated, the uglier his face became.

When Changyi was stiff and motionless, Yamabashi Kiri Kunihiro, who had been a silent wooden man next to him, couldn't help but raised his head, and saw the smiling face of the master looking at them head-on, and immediately lowered his head shiveringly, but his whole body was no longer so Stiff.

Yamabuchi Kunihiro, although it is an imitation sword of this song Changyi, but in terms of ability, the two sides are not even close.In other words, what Yamabukiri Nagayoshi can calculate, Yamabukiri Kunihiro can do as much as he wants.

In fact, the answer can be found without calculation at all.

it's the same.

At that time, whether it was Guohiro or Changyi who were competing with each other, they could only last so long under the same level of practice, and there was no difference.

But the fact now is that Nagayoshi, as a rookie, is far less skilled than Kunihiro, and the two Yamabukiri have separated because of the length of time.

"I don't know if my valet told me about my situation when the leader Yoshikun came over. In fact, this is not the first time I have led Honmaru Sword. For some reason, you are the fourth subordinate I have led. So I am very clear about the entanglement between the two Zhen Shanbukiri."

The straight-forward words made the two vibrating knives at the bottom raise their heads at the same time, and the upper head greeted with a somewhat stern look.

"You have all seen the previous martial arts competitions. The strength of all swords and swords on my side is no more than this, and it is still too early for me to face up to it. And the duty of this Honmaru and you is only to maintain history. Master, so those artificially inflated social status, such as famous swords, famous swords and famous people, these false names are meaningless to me."

Yamabuchi Kunihiro's eyes widened, and the blue pupils were shocked and shot out an astonishing light.

The master said that the identity of a famous sword is meaningless to her; in this Honmaru, she values ​​the ability of the sword itself more.

That is to say...

Chang Yi, who guessed what she really wanted to say, turned pale, and the hand holding the cup was tightened so tightly that his fingertips turned white without knowing it.

"That is to say, my Honmaru pays attention to strength, character, wisdom, military exploits, loyalty, cooperation... and many other things, but I don't pay attention to background."

As she said this, she looked at the two strikes and swords in front of her, her eyes were calm and her voice was gentle, but there was a substantive intolerance to disobedience.

"Do you understand me when I say this, Mr. Yamabukiri?"

The author has something to say:

Yu Li: This time I won't talk about names and anecdotes with you, but just talk about the theory of superiority. ...Oh, you both have the same ability, so let's fight for a hammer.
