Chapter 2008 Yagyu Tajima maintains the sect order
The street was very lively, with several people protecting the two children in the middle and looking around.
"You didn't see any news about the festival being held today?"
Musashi scratched his head.
"My memory and Chaldea's records both show that... Rustic City cannot possibly have such a large flow of people in this era. There are almost thousands of people on the streets alone.
"
Fuma Kotaro also looks a little strange.
"If you care, just go and take a look. We came to Rustic City just to collect information, right? Maybe the source of this matter is related to the information we want to collect?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka took the initiative to pick up Tasuke, who was being carried by Asao, and looked into the distance.
"Ritsuka is right, Ah Xiang, please hold my hand?"
Miyamoto Musashi smiled and held Ah Xiu's hand to ensure that Ah Xiu would not get lost due to the abortion.
"I'll go take a look at the roof, Feng Mo. I'll leave the Master's side to you for now."
After saying this, Zuomura jumped up on the spot, and the crowd didn't even realize that he left. He appeared on the top of a house and nodded to Fujimaru Ritsuka below.
"What a terrifying jumping ability... I'm afraid the enemies who oppose Mr. Samura will have to face this extremely difficult maneuverability, right?"
Musashi clicked his tongue in surprise.
No matter how fast or fierce the sword cuts, it's useless if it doesn't hit, right?
"Leave the following to me. If I lead the way, I can take you, Master, to the source of the matter, even in a crowded crowd."
Although the level of spiritual power cannot support fighting now, Kotaro is still confident in this simple aspect.
...
The flow of people is not only crowded, but also noisy.
"What are you doing! Go away! Where are there so many people? I still have to work!"
"What are you doing! Get out of here! Where did you all come from!"
The shouts and curses were endless.
"Sister, let me ask, what is it that attracts so many people to watch?"
In the inner circle of the crowd, Musashi couldn't control his curiosity and asked a middle-aged woman in the crowd.
"Ah? Don't you know? The samurai-sama are here."
The woman looked surprised.
"Samurai-sama?"
Musashi blinked in confusion.
"They are coming from Edo to defeat the weird samurai--there are five hundred of them! Look, the team is huge, what an imposing phalanx!"
The woman looked inside, looking in awe.
Zuo Cun stepped on the mud tiles on the roof and looked down at the so-called "Samurai Square" below.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
These people have... blood in them.
In other words, these warriors are all warriors with high status who have really killed people.
The Shimabara Rebellion only ended last year. It must have been the blood that was seen at that time, but at this time, so many powerful warriors were suddenly sent to the rustic city...
Um?
Zuo Cun noticed a different aura.
That was an old man... riding a horse and not wearing any armor.
With a sword on his waist, there is no doubt that he is also a samurai, and he should be the leader of these five hundred warriors.
The aura on him... was unusual.
That's sword intent...a very strong sword intent, much stronger than a half-assed sword intent like Zuo Cun's.
This is a strong man.
Zuo Cun's thumb subconsciously touched the handle of his knife.
The same goes for Miyamoto Musashi below. He put his hand on the handle of the knife almost subconsciously, as if he was about to chop directly in the next second.
The old man seemed to be aware of it, but he didn't care.
Come to think of it, how could such a strong man lack challengers?
"...Stop."
"Sakon, move the team to the side."
The old man said to his adjutant.
"Everyone, stop moving forward——!"
The adjutant, the old man Zuo Jindai, gave the order.
He took a step forward.
"Ordinary people living in rustic cities - listen up!"
He walked up to the high place proudly.
"Tajima Mamoru-sama from Edo has something to say to you! Please be quiet and listen attentively!"
"Taima Mamoru..."
Zuo Cun thought about the name for a while.
But Mamori is not actually a name. It means the ruler of the Sanin Tajima Kingdom, but if this name is applied to this era...
There is no doubt that it can only refer to that person——
"I am the chief inspector of the shogunate, and Yagyu Tajima keeps the line."
Yagyu Tajima Mamoru's voice is full of magnetism and carries a powerful aura of majesty.
"Such a grand entrance into the city will definitely attract everyone's attention, but...it doesn't have to be so noisy."
"There are more than five hundred of us here on orders from the general."
"You should have heard that there are strange things appearing in the southern part of Xiazong, attacking people...Humph, it's really ridiculous."
Yagyu Tajima Mamoru sneered.
"Please rest assured, there is no difference between weirdos and bandits. From now on, I will work with General Marshal Matsudaira of Rustic City to defeat all the so-called weirdos."
"My subordinates are elite soldiers who have experienced the Battle of Shimabara, and they are strong men who will convey the power of the shogunate to the end of the south!"
"Therefore...there is no need to cause panic with malicious intent. Everyone, just wait for the good news."
His tone didn't change much from beginning to end, but every word he spoke seemed to have a ring to it, making people feel convinced just listening to it.
However - Zuo Cun still has a bit complicated feelings.
He was the terminator of the shogunate, and he happened to be the terminator of the Tokugawa shogunate. He killed the last two generals of the Tokugawa shogunate, Tokugawa Iemo and Tokugawa Keiki, even more so than Tokugawa Iemo.
He dug up all the graves. Although it was said that he was trying to save his friend's body, he did it.
As the eagle of the Restoration that killed the shogunate, now I hear Yagyu Tajima Morimunetsu loudly promoting the so-called "power" of the shogunate below...
There is really a strange feeling that I can't explain.
In particular, Samura himself knew that people like him, the eagle of the Restoration, were not needed by this era, and that the Tokugawa Shogunate was indeed the people of this era.
Tokugawa Iemitsu's governance is known as the "Prosperity and Peace".
"It's actually that Yagyu Tajima Mamoru..."
Musashi seemed a little unable to suppress himself, and licked his lips restlessly.
That strong sword intent...can definitely be considered a provocation, an indiscriminate provocation.
Unparalleled in swordsmanship and invincible in the world, these are all used to describe Yagyu Tajima Mamoru. There is no doubt that... he is a great swordsman.
However, compared to the attraction that Yagyu Tajimamomo's swordsmanship brought to Samura, Musashi and others, the people in the rustic city were more concerned about the "weirdness" in Yagyu Tajimamoru's words.
