Chapter 46: General, I won't live for a few years

One step, two steps...... Ten Steps......

It's only five steps away from Tokugawa Yoibo. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yagyu Shibei stopped, then bowed.

No words, no ultimatums.

For the samurai, everything is already self-evident.

Tokugawa Yoribo knew very well that if he was still in front of Yagyu Shibei, he would definitely draw his sword.

Once the sword is drawn......

It must be stained with blood.

On the hilt of the sword, Yanagi Shibei's five fingers were gently held, and then, like a dragon's roar, the sword light came out of the sheath......

"That's it......" Tokugawa Yoribo took a step back.

The sword light converged, and Yanagi Shibei bowed again: "I've offended my lord." ”

After that, more than 100 samurai from the Sword Zen Dojo poured into the mountain village. When the samurai under Tokugawa Yoribo saw his retreat, they all knew that this retreat would naturally no longer dare to stop Yanagi Shibei.

Shoichi Yamada...... Come with me! Come, take off his chin, and no one is allowed to talk to him! "Yagyu Jubei is gone.

The samurai with the Kenzen Dojo escorted Yamada Shochi away.

Looking at the back of the number one Japanese swordsman, Tokugawa Yoribo shook his head slightly: "Such a warrior is not my person." But it's a pity...... The fate of the tengu came to an end. ”

In the Sword Zen Dojo, Yamada Shoichi eased up.

He already knew that his fate was doomed, and in the face of the samurai who were highly skilled in martial arts, and even the famous Yagyu Jubei, Japan's first swordsman, he gave up resistance very simply.

Obviously, this prisoner is very important. And his life will soon be over.

"Lord Ten Soldiers, it was your mistake not to choose to kill me as soon as you see me." Knowing that his fate had been decided, Yamada Shoichi was a little more free and calm, and even looking at the eyes of Yanagi Shibei, he was full of sighs: "Your swordsmanship and martial arts are famous all over the world." But...... As a samurai leader who secretly spies on all of Japan. You're too confident in how much you're being pampered. ”

"Your Excellency Yamada, no matter what, I am the samurai of the general. His orders are the meaning of all my actions. Yagyu Shibei looked calm: "Not ending your life on the spot is first of all due to your virtues in saving countless lives in Edo. But in the same way, I also need your cooperation in the final interrogation. ”

"Interrogation...... It seems that the general is really concerned about my tracks. Yamada Masaichi smiled and said, "Fate is really a monster that plays tricks on people, it has played tricks on the general, it has played tricks on me, and it has also tricked the wise people in the world." ”

Yagyu Jubei was silent and did not speak.

"Is it right here?" Yamada is looking at Yagyu Jubei.

"The carriage is a good product imported from the Ming Kingdom, and outsiders can't hear us." Yagyu Jubei said. He also knew very well that if he got out of the carriage and mobilized the public to investigate thoroughly, the news would be leaked out.

He recalled Tokugawa Iemitsu's order and guessed that it must have been something very important...... So much so that Tokugawa Iemitsu let him interrogate alone, without pretending to be in the hands of others.

"I want to know...... The results of His Excellency Yamada's follow-up examination of the general...... After leaving the shogunate, who did you see and what did you say? Yagyu Jubei looked at Shoichi Yamada with an extremely serious face.

"Anyway, it's a mortal end. I don't care. But...... Lord Shibei. The dignified Yanagi Sangu is the only one left. The first Japanese swordsman...... Do you really want to know? This is not the time to satisfy curiosity, this is deadly poison. Once you know...... The supreme general, as long as you understand that you may already know, then in any case, your death is already near. "Yamada Shoichi's feelings towards Yagyu Jubei are extremely complicated.

On the one hand, the man is about to kill himself, and it is impossible to do so without resentment.

But on the other hand, the worship of martial arts and the admiration of legends filled him with a sense of pity.

In Japan, tengu is an extremely fierce and feared deified animal. The three members of the Yanagi family all have the name of tengu, which is naturally enough to show that they are very capable.

But in the same way, with the passage of time, under the changes of time, only Yanagi Shibei Sanyan is still alive.

However, how can such a Japanese No. 1 swordsman not feel sorry for Yamada Shoichi who can't spread his name in the world, but is about to die because of the meanness of the power?

"If you say I'm going to die...... I've heard it countless times. Helplessly, I really don't hear you saying it with a curse. But please understand that in any case, as a samurai as a shogun, loyalty is an immutable principle. If I have to discuss this, I would like to answer a famous saying of the Ming Kingdom: The king regards his ministers as siblings, and the ministers regard him as his heart; The monarch regards the minister as a dog and a horse, and the minister regards the monarch as a countryman; The king regards his ministers as mustard, and the ministers regard him as enemies...... Shibei believes that I am a brother and a brother, not a mustard! ”

Yanagi Shibei said, his eyes burning, full of confidence and pride.

This is the pride of the number one swordsman from Japan.

"In that case...... Then I'll tell you. I hope you can still maintain your confidence after listening. Yamada Masaichi sighed: "The general's lifespan is not a few years." Most...... No more than five years of life. As for pathology, I'm sure you won't be interested either. This can be assured from the fact that the healer of the Great Ori can no longer go out of the gate. As for the people I've met along the way...... What has been said. Rest assured, mean-spirited general! I just want to live, but I don't want to be in chaos in Japan. But the sad thing is ...... You...... is about to be the only one who knows the general's body...... People who are not in the Great Orion. ”

As for Shoichi Yamada, naturally he will die soon.

A man is dying, and his words are good.

Yanagi Shibei pinched the hilt of his sword, and suddenly he used extra force.

He finally understood the meaning of the compassionate gazes of Tokugawa Yoshinao and Yamada Shoichi.

The general was in poor health and had only a life span of no more than five years. When this news spreads, there is no doubt that it will cause earth-shattering waves. Especially as everyone knows, the general is particularly worried about the succession of the next general.

If the next general is young, everyone knows what kind of power storm it will cause.

This news is not an antidote to satisfy curiosity at all, but a poison that will put people on the road to the Yellow Spring.

Anyone who knows the news......

Apparently going to die. You know, even Tokugawa Iemitsu's closest confidant, Mrs. Awan, only knows that he is not in good health, but does not know Tokugawa Iemitsu's lifespan.

As for the healers......

Shoichi Yamada was the first to die, but not the last.

So......

What was left for Yanagi was a life-threatening test.

The test is no longer the martial arts and knowledge of the ten soldiers and three strict guards of Yanagi......

Rather, it came from Tokugawa Iemitsu's trust in him.
