Wan Ji held the knife in both hands, imagining that he was facing an enemy, "Huh! "The left foot quickly stepped forward, and the knife in the hand quickly slashed from top to bottom, with both speed and strength, and when the bamboo knife was swung down, you could also hear the wind caused by the bamboo knife. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThis is all the previous teaching of Imate Yushi, since it is practice, it must have an effect, otherwise it is useless. So every time he swings the knife, Wanji will use all his strength, so don't look at just swinging the knife three hundred times, but every time it will make Wanji exhausted.

Wan Ji used his best efforts every time he swung his sword, and by the time he swung his sword three hundred times, an hour had passed. Wanji stood in place with his strength, although it was winter, Wanji was still sweating profusely, even if he took off his clothes, his body was still covered with beads of sweat. He struggled to hold himself on to the ground with a bamboo knife, keeping his balance, gasping for breath in his mouth, his body rising and falling with heavy breathing, and his hands trembling uncontrollably.

"Your name is Wanji, what are you doing? Won't it get cold if you wear so little? A young girl's voice rang out behind Wanji.

Wanji turned around, and there was a little girl standing not far away, looking at herself curiously with big eyes, it was Ah Guang of the Kushihashi family, and Ali was also standing not far away with her.

Wan Ji tried to stand up straight, but his mouth was still panting, and his breath turned into a white mist, floating in the air, not knowing what it had become.

"Well, I'm practicing swords, and as a person who is going to become a samurai in the future, I must have the ability to protect myself. I train like this every day, so I'm used to it, it's not cold, and I'm going to go back to showering soon, otherwise I'll catch a cold and I won't be able to practice for days. Wan Ji said with a smile to the two princesses of the Kushibashi family.

"But my father said, aren't you claiming to be the Kirin of my Harima Country? He must be a very smart person! Why do you have to work so hard to learn martial arts? "This time it was Ali who asked.

"Ali, huh? I like to read books on the art of war, but samurai always have what they need to protect, and only if they have the strength can they protect what they want to protect. As a samurai, you can't even protect yourself, so you can't make sense! ”

"And what are you going to protect?"

"For example, the main family, the Koji family, the Kuroda family, my Kuroda family's retainers, and the people, will protect the two of you in the future." Wan Ji said seriously.

"Do you come every day?"

"Yes, I'm here in the morning and afternoon. Otherwise, I'll go back to the shower first, or I'll catch a cold, and you guys will wait for me in my room later, and I'll tell you a story. ”

"Okay! It's good to tell a story, you can't go anywhere, it's boring to death here. Ah Guang said happily.

"Ah Guang, let him go take a bath first! We'll get over later. Ali said.

When Wan Ji appeared in the room after taking a shower, Ali and Ah Guang had been waiting for a long time, and Ah Guang was even a little impatient, playing with the corner of his clothes.

"Two princesses, it's too late to come down." Wan Ji sat upright across from the two girls.

When the two girls saw Wanji for the first time, Wanji was wearing ordinary clothes from the Kuroda family, and just after Wanji finished practicing his sword, his unkempt hair was even more unbearable. But now Wanji, wearing the new clothes prepared by the Koji family, combing his hair, and smiling, is a world of difference from the image of the previous two times.

After all, he is older, Ali secretly looked at Wanji, last time in the assessment room, Ali didn't dare to look at him carefully, after looking carefully, he found that Wanji was very handsome, his skin was also very fair, although his eyes were not big, but they were very bright and clear, and he was really good-looking! At least I've never seen such a good-looking boy before. Thinking of this, Ali glanced at Wan Ji again, and his face suddenly turned red.

"Brother Wanji, what story do you want to tell us?" Ah Guang said curiously.

"Let me tell you a girl's story! The Little Mermaid. ”

"The Little Mermaid?"

"Yes, The Little Mermaid."

"But what is a mermaid?" Ah Guang asked, and shook his head.

"A mermaid is, how to say it! It's that the upper body is a beauty, and the lower body is a kind of fish, a kind of ......" Wanji picked his head, not knowing how to describe it.

"Youkai." Ali said.

"Youkai!"

"Even if it's a youkai! But she's a good youkai, and she was born in the sea. ”

"Haili! How could a youkai be born in the sea? Isn't the sea full of fish? How can there be a youkai? Ah Guang exclaimed in surprise.

"Ah Guang, listen to the story! Don't interject anymore. Ali said.

"Alright! Brother Wanji, talk about it quickly! I don't interject anymore, I don't intervene anymore. When Ah Guang heard this, he quickly covered his mouth.

"The Little Mermaid lives in the sea, and every day she is accompanied by fish, jellyfish, and corals in the sea, and she lives a carefree life, but every day is like this, and she feels very bored. So one day, she decided to leave the bottom of the sea where she had lived for a long time and go to the surface of the sea to see. ”

"The curious little mermaid swims! Swim Swim! He swam for a long time, and finally swam from the bottom of the sea to the surface. The world of the Great Overseas was something she had never seen before, with blue skies, beautiful clouds, dazzling suns and sunshine, flying birds, everything that made the Little Mermaid curious. ”

"Just as the Little Mermaid was looking around the world, she saw a galleon......

"Galleon, is it as big as our Ataka ship?" Ah Guang couldn't help but ask.

"Of course, it's bigger than the Otaku ship, the ship mentioned here is the big ship of the Nanban, and the Anzhai ship of our island country can only be regarded as a small boat in the Nanban!"

For the next half hour, Wan Ji spent the next half hour telling stories and answering all sorts of strange questions from Ali and Hikari. At first, it was just Ah Guang who asked, but after Ah Li got acquainted with it, he also began to ask some strange questions, and the three of them talked and laughed, and slowly became familiar.

"Eventually, the Little Mermaid turned into bubbles and dissipated into the sea."

Hearing this, the kind-hearted Ah Guang cried, "The Little Mermaid is too stupid and pitiful. ”

"Yes! It's pathetic. Ali was also wiping his tears from the side.

"Okay, don't cry, it's just a story."

"But it's really touching!" Ali said.

"Alright, let's tell a Snow White story next time."

"Snow White, is it a tragic story?" Ah Guang asked.

"I don't want to listen to tragic stories either, the tragedy is too sentimental" Ali also agreed with Ah Guang's words, girls are just more sentimental!

"Snow White is not a tragic story, it will end well." Wan Ji said awkwardly touching his head.

"That's good, sister, when can we come back and listen to the story!" Ah Guang looked at his sister pleadingly.

"I will practice swordsmanship every morning, practice marksmanship in the afternoon, and come to me to play at other times, I have read a lot of interesting stories in the books passed by **** and Nanban, and I will tell you when the time comes. I also know some fun toys to see if I can make them. ”

"Brother Wanji is so good, much better than Brother Zuo Jingjin, Brother Zuo Jingjin only knows how to play tricks on Ah Guang, and Ah Guang likes Brother Wan Ji." Ah Guang said to Wanji with a smile on his face.

In the twenty-third year of astronomy, on March 2, 1554, a fast horse ran into the castle.

"What? Lord Yoshisuke Akamatsu banished the old lord? "The official of Koji who got the news was so surprised that he almost destroyed his beloved bonsai." Hurry up, immediately call someone to recruit all the retainers to the city, something big happens, something big happens, how should the family deal with this matter? How? ”

A few days ago, a major event occurred in Harima Kunizhi Shiojo, the home of the Akamatsu clan, when Yoshisuke Akamatsu, one of the two Akamatsu who were in charge of the joint government, received the support of many retainers in the city, and suddenly attacked at night, arresting all the retainers who supported Akamatsu Harumasa, and several retainers who supported Akamatsu Harumasa, and several resistors were executed on the spot. Akamatsu Yoshisuke announced on the spot that because Akamatsu Harumasa was too harsh on the local wealthy clan of his family, it had caused a conflict between the local wealthy clan and the retainers of the side branch. In addition, Akamatsu Harumasa is old and is no longer suitable to be in charge of the Akamatsu family, so he expelled Akamatsu Harumasa from his own family and took full charge of the government affairs of the Shio Akamatsu family.

But the problem is that Yoshisuke Akamatsu spared Harumasa Akamatsu's life, but Harumasa Akamatsu was unwilling to lose his power. Akamatsu Harimasa, who jumped off the wall in a hurry, remembered Takino Castle Akamatsu Masahide who had threatened his life before.

So Akamatsu Harumasa immediately sent someone to contact Akamatsu Masahide, how could Akamatsu Masahide let go of this opportunity, immediately agreed to Akamatsu Harumasa's request, and sent someone to welcome Akamatsu Harumasa into Takino Castle, and sent a letter to Urakami Munekei, Kodera Masa, Besshoji Nagaji and other nominal retainers of the Akamatsu family, calling on everyone to surround the orthodox Akamatsu family headed by Akamatsu Harumasa to fight against the rebellious Akamatsu Yoshiyu.
