"May I ask your surname?" Although he failed to detect Kentaro Deda Shen's murderous intent like Honda Tadakatsu did, Yu Qiuping could still tell from the old man's conversation that he was definitely an ordinary person.
"Kentaro Tianchen." Kentaro Tianchen looked at Yu Qiuping deeply.
"Does your Excellency have a name? Or rather," Yu Qiuping frowned and thought for a moment, then spoke again, "a more well-known name."
"Hahaha... the name is just a symbol, why bother so much." Kentaro Tian Shen laughed when he heard this, "But I understand which name Yu Qiujibu asked about."
"Kamiizumi Nobutsuna." Kentaro Tian Shen announced his past name as if nothing had happened, but the dozen or so people around him were stunned.
"Kamiizumi...Kamiizumi Isemori?" Yu Qiuping himself has seen the world. When he first traveled through time, he would go crazy when he saw celebrities from the Warring States Period. He hadn't done it for a long time. But when one of the most famous people in Japan's Warring States Period 1. When the famous Sword Master Kamiizumi Nobutsuna stands in front of him alive like this, he will inevitably stutter and become speechless.
In this era, no one would dare to pretend to be a sword master, and no one would dare to joke with the name of the sword master. And with this old man's kung fu and momentum, if he is not a sword master, who can he be?
"It's the Sword Master!" "Kamiizumi Sword Master!" "Look! It's the Sword Master!" Not only Yu Qiuping, but also those around him screamed after a moment of astonishment. Honda Tadakatsu was also in a hurry He removed the katana from Kentaro Tadashi's neck and bowed apologetically.
"It's just some frivolous name, but it only brings me more trouble." Kentaro Tian Shen looked at everyone's reaction and smiled helplessly.
"Earlier, I used to travel around the world under the name of Ueizumi Nobutsuna. But now that my wish has been fulfilled, the Shinin-ryu has flourished, and several of my disciples have become promising, so I have nothing to worry about anymore. I will use this name to travel again. Traveling around the world will only cause inconvenience. There are always many utilitarian and clever people trying to challenge me to make a name for themselves." Kentaro Tian Shen sighed and shook his head, "I have worked hard for most of my life, and now I just want to have some leisure, so I changed my name to Yi. surname."
"Your Highness Kamiizumi, my lord has missed you very much since our last farewell! If Your Highness never abandons you, please introduce me to me! The Hatakeyama family welcomes His Highness to serve as an official at any time!" Morita Yasho couldn't even speak when he saw the idol in front of him. A little trembling, he suddenly knelt on the ground and saluted.
"It doesn't have to be like this, it doesn't have to be like this." However, Kentaro Tian Shen was not complacent at all because of his fame. Instead, he sighed with some relief: "His Highness Hatakeyama misses Ueizumi Nobutsuna, and it is also the swordsman who wants to invite him to serve. Saint Kentaro Ida Shen is just a country man and has no connection with the past."
"This..." Morita Yaxiang was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to continue speaking. Kentaro Tianchen patted his shoulder and replied with a smile, "We have been together for a long time, and you are also a trustworthy and good samurai. I wonder if you can help me. As a favor, keep it a secret and don’t tell my identity."
"Your Highness has a destiny, how dare I disobey him? His Highness has such good skills, are you willing to waste them like this?" Morita Yaxiang still tried to persuade him, and Yu Qiuping and others on the side also looked over with concern.
"To be honest, many years ago, I swore never to hold a sword again in this life, and made up my mind that I would never have anything to do with kendo again. I have been practicing swordsmanship for too long, and I only have eyes for kendo, but I have missed a lot of scenery in the world." Kentaro Tian Shen recalled. Recalling the past, he smiled with emotion and said, "It's just
It was last year when I saw Mr. Yuqiu here that I suddenly remembered some old friendships, so I promised to teach him some swordsmanship."
"Quinzi, thank you for taking care of His Highness over the past year." Yu Qiuping saluted with great gratitude, "I just met you for the first time, and I offended you a lot. Please don't blame me, Your Highness."
"What's wrong with this? It's just that I didn't report my name myself, it's just a lack of etiquette." Tian Shen Kentaro smiled again, raised his hand with crisscrossed meridians, and squeezed Honda Tadakatsu's shoulder hard. , "This Lord Honda is dedicated to his master and is a great warrior. In time, his martial arts attainments will definitely not be inferior to mine."
"Please give me some guidance from Your Highness." Honda Tadakatsu, who has always been obsessed with martial arts, saw the sword master in front of him. He was no longer as silent as before, but asked for advice in a low voice with some excitement.
"You and I have completely different styles, and giving unreasonable guidance would be counterproductive." However, Kentaro Tian Shen still shook his head indifferently, "Besides, I have decided not to have anything to do with martial arts anymore, and coaching Mr. Yuqiu is just an exception. .”
"Then what are your plans for the future? If there is anything I can do to help you, I can repay you for Quanzi." Yu Qiuping saw that Tian Shen Kentaro seemed to have made up his mind not to become an official, and he did not want to interact with others. But when you meet the Sword Master, even if he is not a time traveler, he doesn't want to say goodbye, but wants to stay out of the way.
"What your Highness can do to help you is not to reveal my identity, just to give this old man some peace of mind. You have always had a good reputation of keeping your word, so I guess you won't go back on your word." Kentaro Tian Shen chuckled twice. He spoke loudly and touched his gray beard, "I'll take my leave now and won't disturb the reunion between His Highness Zhibu and Young Master Yuqiu. Young Master, I will still be practicing sword practice here at the old time tomorrow."
"Yes, Mr. Tian Chen."

"Shang'er, you must seize this opportunity and study hard!" After Nobutsuna Kamizumi left, Yu Qiuping patted Yu Qiu Shang on the shoulder enviously, "Do you know how many people in Japan want to learn from the sword master but can't? Is it okay? There’s no chance of even meeting him. Fortunately for you, the Sword Master has directly become your personal tutor!”
"Yes, father." Yu Qiu Shang's performance was relatively calm.
"What's wrong? Aren't you excited?" Yu Qiuping looked at Yu Qiu Shang's appearance and smiled in surprise, "Aren't you excited to learn that your teacher is a sword master?"
"It's okay, father." Yu Qiu Shang frowned in embarrassment before replying truthfully, "As Mr. Tian Chen said, a name is just a title. No matter whether Mr. Tian Chen is a swordsman or not, He is my teacher, and I will take everything he teaches me seriously."
"You've grown up." After hearing Yu Qiu Shang's words, Yu Qiuping felt that he was the naive child, "Dad doesn't dare to look down on you anymore!"
"How are Father, Ayu, Azen, Aguang, Seigenmaru, Toromatsu, Matsuchiyo, Genzaburo (Nobuyuki Sanada), and Benmaru (Yukimura Sanada) doing recently?" However, Yuqiu Shang is still a child after all, He is very concerned about his peers who are his own age.
"Ayou is a hostage in Sakai Town. The situation now is much better than before. You can go to the lantern festival." Yu Qiuping thought of his second son who had also not seen him for a long time, and his tone became a little sad, "Narugenmaru learned very quickly. , and very smart, but the most important thing is that he is very lucky! Every time the children play games together, whether it is throwing dice or something else, he always comes first. He also especially likes to play with Cen'er, but
Cen'er always thinks he's too annoying."
"Matsuchiyo, Genzaburo, Benmaru, and Mitsuji are still young, so it's nice to get together and play around every day, just like you did when you were kids." Yu Qiuping said, his thoughts suddenly wandering. From afar, I seemed to see Yu Qiu Shang and the others playing around in the garden of Kuroda City when they were children. "As for Husong, he is quite amazing. His martial arts has already made some achievements, and he will definitely be an amazing warrior in the future." .”

After bidding farewell to Yu Qiuping and his party, the next day, Yu Qiu Shang arrived at the outskirts of the city with Morita Yaxiang and the others on time, and Tian Shen Kentaro was waiting there as usual. After the master and apprentice said hello, they started as usual. Training. Morita Yaxiang and the others originally wanted to wait for Yu Qiu Shang to ask Tian Shen Kentaro about his identity as a sword master, and they were satisfied. However, Yu Qiu Shang remained silent, as if nothing happened yesterday. It made them very disappointed.
However, Kentaro Tian Shen was very satisfied with Yu Qiu Shang's reaction. He looked at Yu Qiu Shang and smiled happily. When the training was about to end, Kentaro Tian Shen walked to Yu Qiu Shang's side and suddenly asked:
"Master Yuqiu, do you really have nothing to ask?"
"To be honest, sir, I am a bit unclear." After Yu Qiu Shang was stunned for a moment, he whispered in a very sincere voice, "Sir, please clear up your doubts."
"You ask." Tian Shen Kentaro smiled kindly, "I would like to see what you are most concerned about."
"Sir, you have clearly decided not to have anything to do with kendo before, so why do you want to teach me?" Yu Qiu Shang asked in a low voice, "I have no virtue or ability, so why can I make you change your mind?"
After Yu Qiu Shang asked the question, he raised his head to look at Tian Shen Kentaro. However, the old man who had smiled lovingly just now had a more sad face at the moment. After hesitating for a moment, he whispered: " Because Kentaro Tianchen is the name of a deceased person."
Yu Qiushang was startled, and the hand holding the bamboo knife trembled slightly. Kentaro Tianchen helped him straighten the knife in his hand, sighed, and continued in a low voice: "I was born in Ueno and grew up in Ueno. When I was only your father's age, I lived in the mountains to hone my martial arts and met a samurai named Kentaro Taro."
"Like you, he is also a one-armed warrior, and he is also a twin. Twins will bring endless misfortune and misfortune to the family. If you want to avoid it, you can only abandon or send away one. Because of his disability, the Tian Shen family The man left his younger brother as his eldest son and gave him to a hunter in the deep mountains and forests, leaving him to fend for himself."
"But although he was born with a disability, he was a motivated warrior. After he met me, he asked me for swordsmanship day and night and trained diligently. Finally, when I completed my training and left the mountain a few years later, he had achieved some success in martial arts. .But then..."
When Kentaro Tian Shen said this, he suddenly stopped.
"What happened next?" Yu Qiu Shang felt an extremely violent fear in his heart for no reason. This fear struck so fiercely that Yu Qiu Shang felt a sharp pain in his heart.
"Later, there was a family dispute, and a group of people found him and wanted to support him in returning to take back the position of family governor and drive his younger brother out. Kentaro was unwilling to go and refused this request."
"But his brother hired someone to assassinate him in order to avoid future trouble."
