"Who?" Yu Qiu Shang shouted sharply, and at the same time, he very cautiously took out the beloved sword Yuan Que given to him by Kentaro Tian Shen from his waist. By the firelight and moonlight, Yu Qiu Shang stared at the mysterious knight again and found that He looks like a man in his early thirties.
Seeing that the knight did not answer, Morita Yoshio also shouted: "Didn't you hear what I was asking you? Answer quickly! There is a martial law in Kyoto, and all unidentified persons will be detained!"
"Royal guard." The knight replied casually, somewhat impatiently.
"Royal guard?" Morita Yaxiang laughed twice when he heard this, spread his hands and continued to speak loudly, "You said you are who you are? Where is your waistband?"
"I just handed it over to another team of interrogators, who were also from your Oda family, so they let me go." The knight didn't look nervous at all, and even said lazily and casually.
"Pay attention to your attitude. If you can't show your identity certificate, you have to go back with us!" Morita Yasho also drew his knife in his hand and walked towards the bridge with his horse under his belly. "Be honest and don't cause us any trouble."
"It's really troublesome." The knight laughed twice and said nothing more.
When Morita Yaxiang was feeling confused, he suddenly heard the rapid sound of horse hooves behind him. Before he could turn around to look, there was a violent collision of blades and metal friction sounds beside him, which shocked even those who sat down to sit down.
As Morita Yoshio reined his horse to the right, he finally saw clearly what had just happened. Yu Qiu Shang rode forward and drew his sword to block the knight's horizontal slash towards him - the knight's movements were as fast as Morita Yoshihide's. He didn't have time to react. If Yu Qiu Shang hadn't taken action, he would have been dead and dismembered at this moment.
"Not bad." The knight seemed to be quite satisfied with Yu Qiu Shang's skills and praised softly. Then he used Yu Qiu Shang's block and struck directly at Yu Qiu Shang's door. Yu Qiu Shang turned sideways on his horse. , and at the same time struck horizontally with the blade of the sword, the general dodged a blow, but the attack like a storm came immediately. Yu Qiu Shang was beaten to the point where he was unable to fight back, and he tried his best to block to avoid being slashed.
In the lightning flash, the knight and Yu Qiu Shang had already exchanged several moves. Yu Qiu Shang's guards reacted and immediately swarmed forward. The knight tried to turn around and fight a way out, but was entangled by Yu Qiu Shang. The knight was attacked from both sides, but he didn't Without haste, he pulled the reins horizontally and clamped the horse's belly tightly, jumped onto the guardrail of the bridge, and rushed towards the shore on the guardrail. The guards were caught off guard, and in their haste, no one could stop him. Yu Qiu Shang saw this. In a moment of impulsiveness, he actually hit the knight with his horse's belly. It was difficult to see the edge in the black light. He missed the mark with one hoof and fell into the river together with the knight who was hit.
"Young Master!" Morita Eixiang rushed to the bridge and tried to catch Yu Qiu Shang, but he didn't have time. After hearing a few "plop" sounds, he immediately took off his armor and jumped into the river. The other guards beside me ordered: "Come a few people and go down to the river with me, and the others will use torches to wrap up from both sides!"
·
In the dark river water, even Yu Qiu Shang, who knew how to swim, was a little panicked at the first moment, struggling to sink, and the rapid river water pushed him all the way downstream, choking on several mouthfuls of water. At the critical moment, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, and then he felt the weight on his body suddenly lightened. It seemed that someone had cut the cloth rope on his body with his ribs and helped him remove the cloth rope. Yu Qiu Shang finally put his head out of the water, took a few deep breaths, and was immediately swept down by the current. He didn’t know how long he floated, but he seemed to have arrived at a shallow beach. He grabbed Yu Qiu Shang’s clothes with one hand. He was fished out of the river and dragged towards the woods by the river.
Yu Qiu Shang was still in a daze because he had choked on the water just now. When he came back to his senses, he realized that the person dragging him was the mysterious knight just now. He immediately stood up and wanted to resist, but was kicked out and hit the trunk of a tree.
He fell up and sat down. He stood up and wanted to continue to resist, but suddenly a knife was held on his neck and he couldn't move. After looking closely, he realized that his rounded sword had somehow come into the hands of the knight.
"You said you are from the Yuqiu family?" The knight straightened his wet hair and asked casually, "Just now your guard seemed to call you young master, right?"
Yu Qiu Shang swallowed when he heard this. It seemed that his identity had been revealed. The origin of the person in front of him was unknown. He might be related to a series of assassination cases. He must be related to the Oda family and the Yu Qiu family.
If he falls into his hands, he will definitely bring endless trouble to his father and the Yuqiu family.
Having made up his mind, Yu Qiu Shang quietly put his hand into his arms, trying to find his ribs and fight the person in front of him desperately. Even if he couldn't defeat him, he couldn't be caught alive. However, what a coincidence, he was hidden just now.
The moon behind the dark clouds leaned out at this moment, shining its moonlight on Yu Qiu Shang, exposing the hand he had extended into his arms.
Just when Yu Qiu Shang thought that his desperate behavior was exposed and he was about to suffer a heavy blow, the man in front of him suddenly laughed softly, making Yu Qiu Shang stunned.
"One-armed...left-handed sword...this time it's Yu Qiu's eldest son..." The man in his early thirties gently took back the samurai sword on Yu Qiu Shang's neck and casually inserted it back into the scabbard. Then.
He stared at Yu Qiu Shang's face, and after a while he murmured to himself with emotion, "It really looks like..."
Yu Qiu Shang had no idea why things turned out like this, but he instinctively felt that the person in front of him didn't seem to have any deep hostility towards him - at least he didn't feel any murderous intent.
"It's actually bleeding?" The man glanced at the wound on Yu Qiu Shang's shoulder that he had just untied, then showed a cynical smile, shook his head and said, "It's a pity, I obviously inherited such a powerful
Ability, but it seems that I still don’t know how to use it at all.”
"The knife is not bad." The man pushed the round chip out of the scabbard with his thumb, looked at the white blade and the notch under the moonlight, praised it, and then inserted the round chip back into the scabbard, ready to hand it over.
Return it to Yu Qiu Shang. Yu Qiu Shang was stunned and did not reach out to pick it up, which made the man laugh again.
"It's okay if you don't understand any etiquette. Didn't your parents teach you well?" The man shook his arms with a smile and joked, "You have to use both hands to catch it."
For some reason, Yu Qiu Shang complied with the instructions and raised his hands to pick up his sword, but the man suddenly put the sword back.
"Sorry, I might have to borrow it for a while." The man hung the knife back on his waist, turned his head and looked towards the depths of the forest, and at the same time gently pushed Yuan Que out of the scabbard with his thumb again.
.
The moment the knife was unsheathed, Yu Qiu Shang felt a murderous aura suddenly burst out in front of his eyes, coming towards him without any warning. He felt like he was being swept away by a strong wind and was pinned to the root of the tree, unable to move.
No. This is a huge pressure that Yu Qiu Shang has never felt before! His heartbeat accelerated instantly, his whole body seemed to be out of control, and his brain was completely unable to think. It was not so much the fear felt by human beings rationally, but rather the fear felt by ancestors.
Inherited in his consciousness - the despair and fear in the heart of unarmed primitive humans when facing the beasts destined to be unmatched. Yu Qiu Shang gasped for air, and sweat could not help but break out on his forehead.
Immediately afterwards, in the direction where the man was looking, a desolate murderous aura also burst out. Different from the unruly and slightly elegant aura of the man in front of him, the murderous aura coming from the mountain forest seemed to be intricately connected. The roots of the ancient tree suddenly stirred and made people feel numb.
"Kamiizumi Ise, it's really been a long time since I saw you." The man reminisced in a soft tone that was completely different from his murderous aura, and gave Yu Qiu Shang's master the old title that had been abandoned for many years.
"I am old and my brain is not working properly. I never remember when I saw you." Kentaro Tian Shen walked slowly and took out his sword from the scabbard.
Yu Qiu Shang's eyes flashed when he saw his master, but he couldn't speak under the pressure of the huge murderous aura.
"I'm just passing by for training." Kentaro Tian Shen saw Yu Qiu Shang's doubts and responded in a low voice. Then he turned his eyes to the man again, "Why do you want to find my beloved disciple?"
"Seeing you in good health is better than anything else." The man greeted Kentaro Tian Shen very politely, then shook his head and said, "Nothing, just passing by."
"There are some trivial matters today. I'm sorry that I can't catch up with you. I will definitely pay you a visit someday." The man nodded to Kentaro Tian Shen again and said, "If Ise Mamoru has nothing else to advise, I will take the first step?"
"Mr. Tian Chen!" Yu Qiu Shang spoke hurriedly when he saw this, wanting to tell Tian Chen Kentaro that the man in front of him was very likely to be related to the emperor's assassination case, and asked him to stop him - after all, Tian Chen Kentaro was still practicing in the mountains just now, and he was probably right. He knew nothing about what happened in Kyoto. But when he started to speak, he froze for some reason. In the end, he was unable to say the words. He watched the man pass by Kentaro Tian Shen, and the two of them crossed paths. , the man handed Yuan Que into Kentaro Tian Shen’s hand, and the original fierce murderous aura slowly dissipated. Soon after, the man disappeared from sight.
"Did you just want me to stop him?" Seeing that the man had walked away and Yu Qiu Shang's guards were coming from a distance with torches, Tian Shen Kentaro lowered his guard and asked Yu Qiu Shang.
"Yes." Yu Qiu Shang struggled to hold on to the tree and stood up, "He may be related to the recent serial crimes. Why didn't you stop him, sir?"
"It can't be done." Kentaro Tian Shen smiled bitterly twice, then shook his head and said, "If I and Lord Honda, the captain of your father's guard, work together, we may have a chance to capture you. I am facing the enemy alone, and I am afraid that I will fall. Downwind."
"Is he stronger than sir?" Yu Qiu Shang was shocked when he heard this and whispered, "How is it possible... He is so young."
"People who practice martial arts have strong muscles and bones when they are young, but they lack some grace; after they are over fifty, they finally have the killing power to overwhelm their opponents and the experience of life and death, but their bodies are still no longer young. At that time, this is the contradiction that those who practice martial arts will eventually face... It's just that that person is clearly in his prime, but why does he have such strong murderous aura that even I can't cope with?" Kentaro Tian Shen squinted his eyes and thought hard for a long time, I still don’t remember seeing that man before, so why did he recognize my face?
"That is a person who killed countless people and sent countless people to hell. The murderous aura that ordinary people can only possess after a lifetime of experience..."
