The year 1094 in Terra calendar, 5 months after the end of the Victorian Dark Ages.

Dongguo, Dongzhou, Baiye Town.

Midsummer.

....

Baiye Town is a small town on the southern coast of Dongzhou, although it is called a town, it is a village at best compared to Victoria.

At this time, a large number of ghost people in plain clothes cheered around a slightly rudimentary ring.

"Go!"

"Cut him, cut him!"

"White Fox, quick, kill that fat man!"

In the ring.

A big-looking man was panting with an oversized machete at this time, and his sweaty face was not only meaty, but also with a touch of obsession that he didn't want to give up.

For him, as long as he can defeat the opponent standing in front of him, then he will be the first place in this Shirano Samurai Tournament, and if he is lucky, he may be valued and become the commander of the Sakura Warrior Family.

But judging from the current situation, this life-changing dream seems to be a bit difficult.

Standing opposite this big man at this time was a thin man wearing a fox mask, and the weapon in his hand was not a traditional katana in the eastern country, but a silver short knife.

Although he can't see his appearance when he is obscured by the mask, judging from his appearance, he doesn't look like a ghost clansman.

Of course, he was not a ghost clan, nor was he from the East, his name was Xia Feng.

...

The workmanship of this mask of Xia Feng is very exquisite.

With a white background and red lines, there are hardly any holes visible on the entire mask, except for a small gap in the left eye that is difficult for outsiders to detect.

From the outside, it looks like it's all in one.

Of course, just a slit in the right eye, enough for him.

....

This match was the final of the Hakurosamurai Tournament, but 20 minutes had passed since the start of the match, and for some reason, Natsukaze never made a shot.

Although he didn't make a move, his opponent was helpless against him, and no matter how he attacked, he couldn't even touch the corners of his clothes.

"Fight!"

"Kill him, cut off his head!"

When the audience under the ring was a little impatient, finally, the time that Xia Feng was waiting for came.

Through the gap in the mask, he clearly saw a carriage coming from the intersection on the southwest side of the ring, and at the same time, he also caught the curtain of the carriage lifting a corner.

At this moment, Xia Feng's opponent only felt the cold hairs on his body stand up unconsciously.

"Ding!"

With a sharp blade cutting through the air, he only felt that Xia Feng's figure suddenly disappeared, and in the next second, countless sword lights had surrounded him.

A copycat version of the second style of sad autumn and rain has struck, and Xia Feng's figure has appeared behind the big man.

"Poof!"

Under the stunned eyes of the audience, the big man who was stunned in the ring burst out with countless blood marks all over his body, and then fell down.

At the same time as the "plop" sound of the big man falling, a voice also came from the horse passing by the ring.

"Stop."

The body of this horse is carved with a cherry blossom pattern.

....

....

The person sitting in the carriage called himself Sakuratakemo, the ruler of Dongzhou, and the younger generation of the Sakuramu family.

Regarding Sakura Wuyun's self-introduction, Xia Feng was humble on the surface, but in fact, he had known this information for a long time, and he participated in this kind of Eastern Country Country Samurai Tournament in order to wait for this person.

One of the few taverns in Shirano Town.

The subordinate who followed Sakura Wuyun poured two glasses of wine, and the handsome Sakura Wuyun raised his glass towards Xia Feng.

"May I ask your name, sir?"

"Zhang San."

"Zhang San? Mr. Zhang is not from Dongguo? ”

"No, I'm from Victoria."

Xia Feng didn't drink the glass of wine in front of him, and the expression under the mask also made it difficult for outsiders to understand, and with his amazing knife skills just now, it gave people a sense of mystery.

The appreciation on Sakura Wuyun's face was already overflowing.

"If you don't mind, I'll call you the third brother Zhang."

"The prestige of the Sakura Martial Family is well known in the Eastern Kingdom, and it is an honor for Young Master Yun to call me a brother."

"Hey, you're welcome, you can also call me Brother Yun."

This is the case in the East, where force is more admired than the aristocratic class of Victoria.

As long as you are strong enough, you will be respected.

.....

After a few casual conversations, Sakura Wuyun brought the topic to the topic.

"Brother Zhang, it is rare to see foreigners in the land of the Eastern Kingdom, I don't know why you came here?"

Xia Feng's answer was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Don't hide it from Brother Yun, I used to be a gangster in Victoria, but now that the throne has changed, the situation has changed greatly, and I have no choice but to flee here because I was chased and killed by the enemy."

"I see..... Then why did you participate in the Samurai Tournament in Hakuno? ”

"Oh, I'm ashamed, because I really don't have any money."

Sakura Wuyun thought for a moment.

"Third Brother Zhang, according to what I just observed, although you are using a sword, your true form is swordsmanship, and this kind of swordsmanship seems to be similar to a certain school of swordsmanship in the Yan Kingdom."

Xia Feng nodded slightly.

"Brother Yun is really an expert, and the master who taught me swordsmanship is a native of Yanguo."

"Sure enough, Yanguo's swordsmanship is broad and profound, and I also want to learn it, can the third brother Zhang teach me."

The summer breeze is humble.

"Heh, the professor doesn't dare to be, if you have the opportunity in the future, you can learn from Brother Yun."

Having said this, it is like a ronin looking for the wind and moon meets an Oiran who scratches his head and makes a gesture, and pushes the boat down the river, and the water comes naturally.

...

Then Sakura Wuyun cleared his throat and said with a straight face.

"Brother Zhang, in fact, the purpose of my departure from Dongzhou Mansion this time is to be ordered by the head of the family to find capable hidden masters in Dongzhou, and now the Xigong family is eyeing Dongzhou, as a citizen of Dongzhou, his ambition should be on the battlefield."

Then Ying Wuyun changed his words again.

"Of course, the three brothers Zhang are not from the East, and may not have this feeling, but this does not prevent you from realizing your own value, the East has always been respected by the strong, with your ability, I believe that you will be able to break out of your own world in the East."

.....

What Ying Wuyun said was impassioned, to put it bluntly, he drew a big cake for Xia Feng, and wanted him to join the Ying Wu family and work for them.

If he sells well, he will be able to gain status as a general, and if he sells badly, there will be no more.

Faced with Sakura Wuyun's naked invitation, Xia Feng directly took the pie and swallowed it into his stomach.

"This is really good, being able to work for the famous Sakura Warrior family is in line with my ideal of coming to Dongguo, Brother Yun is willing to invite me, it is really my nobleman."

After that, Xia Feng took the initiative to pick up his wine glass for the first time.

"Come, Brother Yun, I respect you, please take care of me in the future."

The refreshment of the summer breeze made Sakura Wuyun very happy.

"To be able to get the help of a master like the three brothers Zhang is also a blessing for my Sakura martial arts family, do it!"

....

"Ding!"

The two cups touch together, as if they have concluded some kind of contract that represents the meaning of the times.

Xia Feng lifted the corner of the mask slightly, and quickly drank the wine in the cup, so fast that no one could see his true face under the mask.

Sakura Wuyun put down his wine glass and said with a smile.

"Third Brother Zhang, I just wanted to ask, why do you keep wearing a mask, because you are afraid that the enemy will chase you here?"

Xia Feng's voice was full of melancholy.

"There are reasons for this, but the main thing is that I have a disability and am afraid of causing discomfort to others."

"I see."

Ying Wuyun thought that he had talked about Xia Feng's sore spot, so he comforted him.

"It doesn't matter, the appearance is just a floating cloud, with the ability of the three Zhang brothers, they will definitely be able to gain fame and fortune in the future, status and beauty, and they will be full of arms."

Xia Feng smiled chicly.

"Hahaha, then borrow Brother Yun's auspicious words."

....

Although it was only a short move in the ring, Sakura Wuyun had already seen Xia Feng's strength.

The opponent seemed to be miserable, but the several swords that broke out in an instant, none of them hurt the vital point, even if he could kill people in the ring, he didn't do it.

This kind of precise control of sword qi, as well as the original intention of not being lost by killing, all represent that Xia Feng is a first-class master, even surpassing most of the first-class generals of the Sakura Martial Family.

...

Ying Wuyun, who felt that he was in a good mood, also mentioned another interesting matter to Xia Feng through the topic.

"By the way, Brother Zhang, you just said that you are from Victoria, right?"

"That's right."

"That's really a coincidence, a few months ago, our Sakura Warrior family also welcomed a big man from Victoria, and for some reason, he chose to join our Sakura Warrior family."

"Big shots?"

With a mysterious smile, it seems that the big man he said is really big.

"Brother Zhang, if you stay in Victoria long enough, you will definitely know this person, don't be scared when the time comes."

Xia Feng laughed casually, as if he didn't believe in some big person.

"Hahaha, what else can there be a big man, unless the person you are talking about is the Chief of War of Victoria, hahaha."

....

Xia Feng was laughing, but Sakura Wuyun froze.

This expression is like Sun Fugui who has been exposed to the magic performance, and it is extremely uncomfortable.

It's just that Ying Wuyun didn't notice that when Xia Feng mentioned the four words of the chief military officer, although he was laughing chicly, the fists under the wine table had already been clenched to death.

....

Some people think that the world of Terra is so big that they have never left their own city in their lives, let alone their own country.

But in someone's eyes, the world of Terra, although it is just as big, can't stop his "narrow" mind.

Even if the sun and the moon alternate, the cape is at the end of the world.
