Chapter 60 Mountain City
"Backblade Knife?"

Xue Nai looked at the proprietress suspiciously.

"wait for me a while."

The proprietress signaled her to wait a moment and walked into the inner room.When he came out, he was holding a sheathed knife in his hand.

"Please see."

Pulling out the knife, Xue Nai found that the blade of the knife was on the back of the knife.

"This is the Backblade Knife. Few people are going to forge this kind of knife now."

The proprietress handed the knife to Xue Nai, and Xue Nai observed it carefully.

"After the back of the knife is sharpened, the thickness of the knife will be thinner and it will be easier to break."

"Master Ji Wushi is a sensible person."

The proprietress gave a thumbs up and said.

"The reverse-edged sword is generally a ritual knife used by the shrine to worship the gods. In order to show the benevolence of the gods, the sharp edge on the back of the sword expresses the willingness not to hurt people."

The proprietress didn't say the latter, but Xue Nai probably understood.

Since the three generations of Ashikaga shogun Yoshimitsu slaughtered the emperor and his ministers, Shintoism, which was closely related to the emperor, also perished.

Then the shrines of Shintoism will naturally cease to exist, and who will build this kind of reverse blade knife.

"Then what is this knife?"

"This is my work as a teacher. As you said, the back of the back blade is too thin and easy to break, but it is a good way to practice sword casting skills."

The proprietress looked at the knife with memories of the past in her expression.

"It has been kept here for a long time, but I think that as long as it is a samurai sword, it should be expected to be used by itself. It is also a kind of sadness to be dusty over the years.

If you are willing to use it, then I will give it to you.But if you just want to buy a decoration, forget it. "

The proprietress looked at Xue Nai, and Xue Nai thought deeply.

"Would it be possible to hack people to death with this sword?"

"The backblade is also a blade, so of course it will kill people. But if you use it in a normal way, you won't be able to cut wounds without the blade. It's similar to a blunt weapon blow."

The proprietress told the truth, Yukino nodded in satisfaction.

"I want this knife."

It took Yiyin and Lili more than ten days to cross the mountainous area.The distance seems not far on the map, but the mountain road has nine bends and eighteen bends.

Except for the first three to five days, I did not encounter any attacks from the vicious party.

The wild warriors in the mountains are also connected with each other. When the evil party groups in front of them lose contact one after another, the fool also knows that he has encountered a hard stubble, and it is not easy to get a reward.

Fifty guan is very tempting, but why do you need money if you have lost your life.The really powerful Iga Zhongjia He Zhong is busy spying around Omi, desperately earning a lot of money from various samurai families.

War is the most expensive, but also the most profitable business.Having just survived the cold winter, every family is extremely poor, and they have to pluck the wool of the Wu family desperately if they catch the opportunity.

Yiyin, who was only worth fifty guan, successfully entered the mountain city where Kyoto is located.

The Yamashiro Kingdom is not big, and the entire country is the imperial material house of the Ashikaga family, with a total stone height of 23 stone.The Ashikaga family has no other territories except the Yamashiro country.

At the beginning, the general of the Ashikaga generation, Takashi, raised his army and swore an oath with all the relatives of the separated families.Sisters share the same heart, share the world, guard the Quartet, and never lose each other.

Having learned the lessons of the Kamakura shogunate being usurped by outsiders, the Ashikaga shogunate's rule was based on the separation of family and family power.

Entrust the guardianship of various countries, and then set up the Ashikaga Imperial Household in the country.On the one hand, each family enjoys the knowledge and practice of the national territory, and on the other hand, it also guards the Imperial Repository to ensure the income of the Ashikaga family.

This system enabled the three generations of generals Ashikaga Yoshimitsu to have enough capital to establish a horse group of [-] people.

Moreover, all the horse warriors were well-selected warriors from all over the world. For a while, the warriors were silent and did not dare to slack off on the general's orders.

Oda Nobunaga's massacre of horses and iron, only fifty Ji Samurai, and their martial arts skills are still uneven, and they are already the most famous samurai group in Owari Kingdom.

Back then, Yoshimitsu Ashikaga's high spirits made Nobunaga jealous to death.

Originally, this system was very suitable for the samurai society, but things went wrong because of the Eighth Generation General Ashikaga Yoshimasa.

Ashikaga Yoshimasa had no daughter in his early years, and made his younger sister Ashikaga Yoshihiro his heir.I never thought that she gave birth again!

With his own daughter, Yoshimasa changed his mind, but Ashikaga Yoshihiro has been recognized by various families and is already a veritable heir.

You Ashikaga Yoshimasa said that you want to change the heir, which challenges the traditional Ashikaga family to negotiate and share the world.

Thus, the samurai who supported Yoshimasa Ashikaga fought with the samurai who supported Yoshihiro Ashikaga, and the fight lasted for ten years.

Those who participated were all relatives of the Ashikaga family, branch relatives, and those who died were the pillars of the Ashikaga world, so cold was the heart of the branch family.

Since then, the sisters no longer have one mind, and the Ashikaga family has also become wary of each family and began to check and balance each family.

Three managements and four positions, the Ashikaga Ichimon Goyagata has fallen in less than fifty years.The Ashikaga family did not benefit themselves, and the samurai families in Xiake extended their hands to the imperial stores of various countries.

The income of the Ashikaga family has been declining, and their strength has weakened, and the world has been in chaos since then.

This mountain city is a large capital, and it has been a lush place since ancient times.Merchants from all over the world will come here to do business and bring goods from all over the world here for exchange.

As a modern person, Yiyin is most interested in iron cannons.Iron cannons are muskets, as the people here call them.

"A piece of 100 pieces."

He was taken aback by the price of the iron cannon. Judging from the reward offered, Yiyin's head was worth half an iron cannon.After walking out of the market, Yiyin was still shocked.

"My lord, don't listen to the nonsense of those profiteers, when the iron cannons were first brought by the southern barbarians, they were indeed too expensive.

But now that Tanegashima in Kyushu has mastered the method of making iron cannons, the price has already dropped.

In recent years, Ki Yiguo has obtained the method from Tanegashima again. The price of iron cannons these days is not so high, and you should be able to buy one for [-] guan. "

"That's also sixty."

Li Jiu is an aspiring warrior Ji, who has traveled to Beijing before, and told Li a lot about recent experiences.

There is no news in the Owari countryside. If he didn't come with benefits, Yiyin, a bumpkin, would be made a fool.

"My lord, you can't calculate it that way. Think about it, it takes ten years to train a qualified and bow warrior, and you need a high-quality bow to be effective on the battlefield."

Yiyin nodded, he almost died at the hands of a bow warrior before the battle of Daosheng.

Except for her few arrows, other light bamboo bows are useless.If he was well dressed, he would not have left thirteen arrow wounds on his body.

"But if it is an iron cannon, an ordinary person can kill Warrior Ji on the battlefield after a few months of training. The cost is much cheaper than that of the bow warrior.

There have been several battles in recent years, and various new tactics have emerged one after another. If Owari's country style of play is not improved, he will suffer a big loss. "

Seeing Yiyin talking about benefits, Yiyin was very pleased.As long as it is not for the benefit of the brain pumping stage, he is really an excellent and reliable warrior Ji.Strong martial arts, beautiful mind.

On the way to Kyoto, Yiyin suddenly saw a familiar figure.

"That's... Hideyoshi?"

The tentative screamed, and the petite figure stopped.Turning around and seeing Yoshigin, Kinoshita Hideyoshi bowed happily.

"I'm well, Shiba Yuqian, you've arrived in Yamashiro Country."
