Saying goodbye to Akechi Mitsuhide, the group continued westward and arrived at the Fuwa Pass in the western part of Mino Country on May 2, the fifth year of Tenmon (1536) - the boundary between Kanto and Kansai in Japan. From then on, they continued westward through the pass.
After that, they could enter Omi. However, the group had to stop at Sekigahara.
"Master, please help me!"
Beside the official road, a young man knelt down in tears in front of Imagawa Ujimoto's horse and begged, "The younger one received a letter from home saying that my father could no longer hold on and would die in a matter of seconds. The younger one originally rode from Omi.
I hurried back to Owari's home, but for some reason the damn horse kept getting weak in the middle of the road and couldn't stand up at all. The younger one walked in a hurry and didn't have any spare money with him, so he had to leave the horse and walk, but he couldn't stand up at all.
It’s too late! Please lend me the horse! I will leave this heirloom jade pendant to you. When I go home and see off my father, I will come back to you immediately! Please wait here, I will come back to get the jade pendant!
"
"Ignore him, he must be a liar." Nakasugi Tora Chiyo sneered at the young man in front of him and patted Imagawa Jimoto on the shoulder, "Your horse is a good horse and it costs hundreds of dollars. How can you just lend it to others?"
"Please have mercy, sir. Please have mercy. Let me see my father for the last time! Please, sir!"
The man in front of him was kowtowing like garlic, with faint traces of blood oozing out from his forehead. Imagawa Shimoto finally agreed and took the jade pendant handed over by the young man. He watched the latter hurriedly get on his horse and ride towards the city with great speed.
Go south.
"Goro, I told you it was a lie, do you really believe it?" Nakasugi Tora Chiyo was very helpless at Imagawa Ujimoto's behavior, and sighed with hatred for iron.
"He is going back to see his father one last time..." Imagawa Shimoto was silent for a long time and finally replied.
Not being able to see his father for the last time was the biggest regret in Imagawa's life. With his sympathy, it was no longer possible to contain him.
"Most people wouldn't joke about their father's life, right?" Imagawa Ujimoto looked at Nakasugi Torachiyo and whispered firmly, "You would risk your own father's death just to deceive a horse, right?"
"In order to cover up that I want to go to Beijing to become a disciple, I will even tell my father to death. This is hundreds of dollars, what is there to say? Poor people in troubled times, what can't they do? You give him hundreds of dollars and let him
He could even kill his father with his own hands." Nakasugi Tora Chiyo laughed and shook her head, "That's all, if Goro is afraid that his father and son will not see each other for the last time because of his suspicion, then there is nothing wrong. I would rather believe it,
If you’re fooled, just be fooled.”
"This jade is not bad." Ginkgo didn't know when he took the jade pendant from Imagawa Shimoto and looked at the sun. "Although it's not as good as Mr.'s good horse, it cost a lot of money. It should be good."
You might use this to deceive people."
"Since my sister and Wu Lang both feel that he is not a liar, then just wait here. Anyway, I think I can leave now. He will never come back."
Nakasugi Tora Chiyo was right. The group waited for five full days, and until May 7th, the fifth year of Tianwen (1536), there was no sign of the young man. It stands to reason that with the speed of that good horse, five
It’s sunny enough to travel between Owari and Mino anywhere. Even if his home is at the southernmost tip of the Chita Peninsula, he can still do it in time.
"It's also possible that something unexpected happened and I haven't come back yet." Sitting in the hotel lobby to rest, Imagawa Ujimoto still didn't want to believe that he had been deceived, nor did he want to believe that the young man's sincere longing for his father was fake.
Miao Miao jumped onto the table, stood up and played with the green-edged folding fan held by Imagawa Ujimoto.
"Haha, it's good that Goro is happy." Nakasugi Torachiyo laughed at Imagawa Ujimoto and tossed the jade pendant. "Let's wait for one more day. If we don't come back tomorrow, we will continue on the road. We can't delay the journey for too long."
"I'm so sleepy..." Ginkgo, who was also sitting at the table, yawned, and lay on the table tiredly, letting her hair spread out, and blinked at Imagawa Shimoto, "Sir, I'm squinting."
Call me later when it’s dinner time.”
"You just got up not long ago, right?" Imagawa Shimoto complained in a low voice, but after being glared at by Ginkgo, he honestly raised his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, just go to sleep if you feel sleepy." Not long after he finished speaking,
Ginkgo has already fallen asleep peacefully.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise at the door. Imagawa Ujimoto looked up and saw Kira Usei holding the reins and pulling a horse to the door of the store, making a lot of noise.
.
"Sir, the horse has been found!" Kira Usei called to Imagawa Ujimoto loudly, "It is tied to the stable outside the inn."
"Look, you're back!" Imagawa Shimoto was surprised when he heard this, then stood up with a smile and patted Nakasugi Tora Chiyo on the shoulder, as if to show off his "victory".
Before Imagawa Ujimoto could reach the door, he saw a long sword coming from outside the store, heading straight for Kira Usei. Kira Usei did not hide, he drew his sword in his hand and struck with a horizontal blow, killing
The attacker was forced back half a step. Then Kirara Weicheng strode forward and slashed with his sword again.
"What's going on?" Imagawa Ujimoto rushed out of the store and saw Kira Usei fighting with the attacker. Kira Usei's kung fu was known to Imagawa Yoshimoto, but at this moment, the attacker's sharp knife
Under the attack, Kira Uicheng was actually a little embarrassed - it showed that the attacker's sword skills were quite good. However, Kira Uicheng quickly found an opportunity, and a heavy slash forced the attacker to block, and the two began to wrestle with each other.
The attacker was dressed in black cloth, slightly thin in stature, and obviously not as strong as the sturdy Kira Usei. But even so, he insisted on wrestling with Kira Usei with only one left hand. Maybe it was because he saw Kira Usei using only one
With only one hand, the attacker did not hold a knife with both hands out of dignity, so he was naturally forced to retreat.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Then Imagawajimoto discovered something was wrong - the attacker did not intentionally not hold the knife with both hands, but because he only had one left hand, and the right one
The sleeves were empty - no wonder the body looked thin. But even though he was disabled, the attacker had no intention of backing down. He gritted his teeth and fought against the powerful Kira Usei.
"That's all you have?" Ji Liang Weicheng looked at the serious look on the attacker's face and said he was trying his best. He snorted disdainfully, and then with a sudden force, he raised his hand and knocked the attacker away.
The loud fighting sound obviously alerted others. A middle-aged warrior in his thirties ran out from behind the stable. After seeing the attacker being knocked against the fence, he hurriedly stepped forward to help him up and whispered.
Concerned: "Kentaro?"
"Master..." The attacker, who was called Kentaro, had blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. It seemed that the blow just now was unclear. "That person... stole a horse."
The middle-aged man glanced sideways, with murderous intent already in his eyes. However, Ji Liang Weicheng was dissatisfied with the look and spat on the ground - this completely angered the middle-aged samurai.
He stood up slowly and walked towards Kira Weicheng. With every step he took, Kira Weicheng could feel that the murderous aura steaming out of the samurai doubled. When the middle-aged samurai approached Kira Weicheng, he felt a fierce murderous aura.
The feeling of oppression was even stronger than that of thousands of troops, and even Kira Weicheng, a berserker who was fearless and fearless, was a little out of breath.
At this moment, he also realized that the person who came was not malicious, so he very carefully pulled out the other sword and took a stance with a rare degree of seriousness. However, the samurai seemed not to take Kira Usei seriously and continued to walk on his own.
, not even bothering to take a defensive posture.
It wasn't until he stepped within the attack range of Ji Liang Weicheng that he pressed his hand on the handle of the knife. In order to get rid of the intense pressure, Ji Liang Weicheng roared boldly, then jumped up high, holding the two
He raised the giant sword above his head and gathered strength. The veins of his two thick arms popped out. He exerted force suddenly, rounded his arms and slashed hard at the warrior. The warrior did not rush, and unsheathed the sword with one hand in his right hand.
, without dodging or dodging, he slashed at Kira Usei's two swords head-on.
"It's broken! Someone's going to die!" Imagawa Ujimoto has seen the brute force of Kira Uchinari. He can even cut off a solid stone bridge, let alone a fragile human body? Forcefully force Kira Uchinari to climb down from a high place.
A single blow will kill you but leave you crippled!
However, the development of the battle quickly exceeded Imagawajimoto's imagination. The moment the swords met, the middle-aged samurai's body only paused slightly, while Kira Usei trembled as if he had exerted all his strength. But as the middle-aged warrior
The samurai pushed his left foot back hard, and an astonishing amount of energy poured into the sword along his body. With a horizontal swing of the katana, the strength of Kira Wei's double swords and the weight of his whole body were completely overwhelmed, and Kira Wei was knocked down instead.
The sword flew away. Kira Usei's strong body was as light as a playing card at this moment. He was easily overturned and hit hard against the fence that Kentaro had just hit, causing the fence to collapse on the spot.
"Is this enough strength?"
The middle-aged samurai snorted disdainfully, and then turned his attention to Imagawa Ujimoto.
Imagawa Ujimoto looked at the samurai in front of him. He was dressed in coarse black clothes, which looked a little gray from being washed many times. Under a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows, his angular features were powerful, and although the scabbard on his waist was of ordinary style,
But the katana is definitely a high-quality sword - it can take Kira Wesei's blow without any gaps.
"There is really no way..."
Realizing that a one-horse fight was about to break out, Imagawa Ujimoto followed the etiquette of the samurai family, respectfully addressed his name, and at the same time drew his sword out of its sheath, "My Majesty, Shinagawa Goro, may I ask your surname?"
"Oh Hidetsuna, please ask for advice." The middle-aged samurai reported his name. In later generations, this middle-aged samurai will have a more resounding title - Sword Master Kamiizumi Ise Morinobu Tsuna.
