868 Iaido swordsmanship

Yujiro Maeda stood in the center of the banquet, next to two brothers of the same clan who had just performed judo, but at this moment there was no silent warmth in the brothers' eyes, only hostility and aggression between competitors.

"Yujiro, do you need me to accompany you through two moves? Aren't you arrogant and saying that your kendo is the first in Kaga? It's a pity that none of us have seen you make a move, aren't you bragging? hahaha......"

Listening to the ridicule of the people around him, Yujiro Maeda knew that they were trying to mess with his heart, so he looked at Lord Kamikuni in front of him calmly, bowed deeply, and stood on the tatami mat with his feet slightly apart.

Seeing that Yujiro didn't get hit, the sneers also shut up, and Long Ye looked up and down, "I already saw you suppress those wild warriors with wooden knives just now, to be honest, that level is just passing in my eyes, and now I don't have time to watch you fight with others, show me a unique skill and let me see ......"

"Hai ......" Yujiro bowed, then straightened his waist and began to walk backwards, he was adjusting his breathing and heartbeat, his heart became more and more calm until finally his ears had actively repelled all the noise around him.

The knife was inserted into his waist, his left hand held the scabbard, and his thumb was ready to swallow. Looking at Yujiro's right index finger trembling slightly, it seemed that he was making some kind of preparation.

Long Ye is a knowledgeable person, he has already felt the unique temperament exuded by Yongjiro, and Long Ye's eyes even narrowed slightly.

Suddenly, Yujiro exerted his strength, he roared, his right hand quickly pulled out the sword, and at the same time, his feet used his strength, and he suddenly rushed towards Long Ye.

"Protect your lord!" At that time, several warriors and guards subconsciously wanted to block in front of Long Ye, but Long Ye shouted, "Stand down!" Those people didn't dare to take a step forward like clay sculptures.

Yujiro didn't draw his knife to attack Long Ye, he actually raised his hand and threw the sword into the air, and the beams and pillars in the hall were more than three meters high above his head, depicting all kinds of cumbersome patterns.

At that moment, time seemed to slow down, and Taito, in a tumbling parabola, flew in midair, while Yujiro rushed forward quickly and turned sideways at the last moment.

The left hand was still holding the scabbard, and the scabbard of the knife had been inserted in the waist and remained motionless, only listening to the sound of rubbing, the white light flashed, and the knife that had rolled over the main beam was actually facing the scabbard and inserted it back.

Everything was in the line of lightning, time did not even use three seconds, and some of the people present did not even realize what was happening, and the entire hall was silent.

Long Ye's excited eyes narrowed into a slit, he didn't expect that Japan, a small island country, would have such exquisite swordsmanship!

He saw it very clearly, it was an open-edged knife used in actual combat, the blade was about three and a half feet long, and it was full of snowflake patterns after hundreds of forging, and it was not an exaggeration to say that the hair could be broken.

What a powerful control it is to be able to throw this sword over the beam and catch it with the scabbard around his waist? As long as there is the slightest error, the knife will easily cut through Yujiro's belly.

The lonely applause rang out, only Long Ye was applauding alone, and then the people around him also woke up, and the samurai who had always looked down on Yujiro were red with shame.

"Good kung fu, your name is Yujiro Maeda, tell me the name of this unique skill......

"Lord Hui, what I learned was the swordsmanship of Iaido, and this move just now was not used in actual combat, but was a controlled training for the purpose of training sword drawing skills......

Keinen Maeda next to him said with a smile, "Iaido originated at the end of the Warring States period, that is, the era when Nobunaga Gong, His Royal Highness Taiko, and Tokugawa Gong competed for power, and we can know that the earliest founder of Iaido was called Hayashi Shisuke, who lived in seclusion all year round and never had a famous ......."

"Juhedo is actually a kind of swordsmanship that is interpreted to the extreme in the sword ...... the sword, the most particular is that the sword is too easy to not sheath, but one blow will kill "

Yujiro said calmly, "Pull and cut, if you don't pull out, this knife is only a blade when you cut it, and the opportunity to see through the moment in waiting is the true essence of Juhe...... One hit kills!"

"Okay, well, this trip to Kanazawa was really not in vain, and I admire the heritage of the Maeda family...... Yujiro Maeda: Would you like to fight with me for a future? But you have to remember that once you leave the master's house, you will never come back, and you will either die or start a new business!"

Yujiro trembled with excitement, he knelt on the tatami mat and said tremblingly, "Dare not offer all the loyalty of the subordinates!"

"Very good! Don't sleep tonight, select fifty samurai from the Maeda family for me, and leave Fuso with me tomorrow morning!Hahaha......" After speaking, Long Ye laughed wildly and drank a cup of sake, turned his head and went back to rest.

Maeda Keinin let out a long breath, he looked at Yujiro and smiled with relief, "Being able to get fifty places has exceeded my expectations, you did a good job...... Early tomorrow morning, you can go to the treasury to get fifty treasured famous knives, and this will be the last time that I, the head of the family, will take care of you!"

Saying this, Maeda Keinin walked up to Yujiro and patted him on the shoulder with a fan, "Go, Maeda's surname needs to be carried forward, and the glory of the samurai family will continue to shine...... Go fight for a future with your life!"

Long Ye and his entourage are resting, but Maeda's family has become a real martial arts arena, fifty places are not much, and the sound of killing on the training ground in the back mountain resounded through the four fields, Yujiro will not have any special care, if you want to join, you have to show your ability, and all the Japanese in Kanazawa have no sleep all night.

Early the next morning, fifty heavily armed Kanazawa samurai lined up in a neat phalanx at the gates of the city, and Maeda Keinin even provided them with fifty precious war horses, of course, which could not be taken out of Japan, and when they left Hokkaido for the Far East, these war horses still had to be sent back.

It's not that the Maeda family is stingy, the key dragon master is that they don't look down on these inferior horses, and when they wait until Baishan and Heishui naturally have more cold-resistant and stronger Mongolian horses to choose from, it is not shameful enough to take this kind of war horse across the sea.

Yujiro's mother didn't show the slightest sadness, she just stuffed a small silk bag into the child's arms, "This is a talisman invited from the shrine, either come back to see me with war exploits and honor, or die in another country! I will chant and pray for you......"

Not only Yujiro's family, but also the mothers, wives, and children of the other fifty samurai all had the same expressions, and they could be sad and cry, but no one would stop them.

Note: Throwing the knife over the beam of the house, and finally catching this story with a close-fitting scabbard, it is not a pure fabrication. In the book of the Japanese historical writer Ryotaro Shima, there was a demonstration of the master of Iaido. Of course, this kind of swordsmanship is not something that ordinary martial artists can master, they are all grandmaster-level characters!
