Tokyo people don't talk about Wude

Chapter 306 303. Cultural Festival (7): The Biography of Kanjiro·Part

Kanjiro continued on his journey, passed the second pass, and finally arrived not far from the imperial city.

"Ouch! Die! Kanjiro=San!" A thief suddenly jumped out from behind the wall and raised his bamboo sword to sneak attack Kanjiro.

"Ugh! Ugh!!" Kanjiro was startled and quickly drew out his bamboo sword to block, and then resolved the sneak attack:

"How despicable, you sneak up on me without greeting me! Who are you?!"

"Haha! Domo! I am the robber Saber No. 3 Okada Isriya!" The robber No. 3 obviously felt no guilt and put on a lower sword stance:

"I was entrusted by someone to take your life! You can only reach this point, and you are not allowed to take another step forward!"

"You are such a despicable villain! I am Saber Kanjiro in the lower countryside!!" Kanjiro was obviously angry:

"I have been upright all my life, how could I be killed by a despicable villain like you! Let's fight!"

"He is worthy of being the powerful swordsman who can make his employer San think without thinking and sleep at night, Kanjiro San!" Kazuri Okada said with a sneer: "He can not only defend against my sneak attacks, but he also boasts that he will defeat me! Come on!" Fight! Let me see if you can make me happy!"

The two immediately started fighting on the stage.

"Ichiri Okada" is played by Motaro, the strongest newcomer in the kendo club, who is obviously stronger than the previous two assassins.

Kanjiro fought very hard and was almost defeated by Kazuri Okada several times.

But after all, this is a stage play with a predetermined plot, and Kanjiro is destined to win.

Therefore, when the two fought for the twenty-fifth round, Okada Kazuri showed a flaw, and Kanjiro immediately seized the opportunity to counterattack and cut him to the ground.

"Ha, I lost." Ichiri Okada knelt on the ground and his opponent held a bamboo sword around his neck.

"Tell me, who hired you to kill me?" Kanjiro asked.

"No comment! Selling out the identity of the employer is an act of treason and one will be punished with eight points of the village and the death penalty. After death, one will be tortured in hell by the Eighteen Vajras sent by the Buddha!" ​​Kazuri Okada defended: "Yes. I am defeated, you can kill me or chop me into pieces as you please!"

"Hmph, I knew you would say that." Kanjiro took back his bamboo sword and said, "I'll spare your life for now and go to prison to reflect."

However, just when Kanjiro sheathed his sword and took it lightly, Okada Kazari suddenly jumped up, picked up the bamboo sword and stabbed Kanjiro.

"Hahaha! You are careless Kanjiro=San!!" Ichiri Okada laughed wildly and stabbed Kanjiro in the arm with his sword: "When did I promise you a truce? Suffer death! Whoops!"

"Ah! Shameless villain!" Kanjiro was hit in the arm. He took a few steps back to distance himself and cursed: "I spare your life, but you dare to go back on your word! There are such absurd things in the world! Buddha, don't you Have you closed your eyes?"

"It's ridiculous! It's ridiculous!" Kazuri Okada continued to catch up with his sword: "What's the use of begging the Buddha for mercy? The world is so cruel, Kanjiro = San! Either kill or be killed. To forgive the enemy is to seek death! "

[Kanjiro was furious, but the injury to his arm prevented him from wielding the sword again and he could only flee in embarrassment under Okada Ichiri's offensive. 】

[However, at this critical moment, a reinforcement arrived in time! 】

"Stop it, you despicable Xiaoxiao!"

A young man wearing a vagabond costume and a bamboo hat jumped out, pulled out his bamboo sword and stood in front of Ichiri Okada, protecting the injured Kanjiro behind him.

"Ah! You are!" Kazuri Okada stopped subconsciously, and Kanjiro was also quite shocked.

This person is exactly the role played by Kyushu Makoto——

"The benevolent swordsman!" the other two said in unison.

"Humph, I recognize the old man." Jiuzhou Cheng smiled coldly.

"The benevolent swordsman actually appears here?!" Kazuri Okada observed the swordsman in a bamboo hat with cheetah-like eyes and introduced himself:
"It is rumored that this man was once named the No. 1 Swordsman of the Weiming Kingdom, but he did not seek fame or fortune, but only hoped to use his sword skills to protect the world's peace. So he refused the reward from the king, and since then he has traveled around the world and become a chivalrous and righteous man. "Xia Ke"

"Benevolent Swordsman. Why do you appear here?" Kanjiro asked.

"I have seen your duel just now." The benevolent swordsman nodded to Kanjiro, then raised his sword and pointed at Okada Kazuri:
"I can't bear to see someone repaying kindness with vengeance and trying to kill the benefactor who spared his life. Next, I will fight with you, Okada Ichiri = San!"

"Shall I fight the benevolent swordsman?" Ichiri Okada thought for a moment and then agreed:

"Just in time, I'm going to try to see if this 'Ashina Country's No. 1 Swordsman' is worthy of his reputation! Domo! I'm the robber Saber No. 3 Okada Irisiya!"

"Domo! The old man is a benevolent swordsman! Fight me!" The benevolent swordsman stepped forward with his sword.

The two soon started a fierce confrontation.

If Ichiri Okada used kendo techniques for performance purposes, then what Kenobi Ninja used was not kendo techniques at all, but a combat technique in which a bamboo sword was used as a mixture of sticks, swords, staffs, spears and other weapons. Sometimes some boxing, kicking and physical skills are also mixed in. Although Kyushu Cheng has various martial arts skills, he has not learned much about swordsmanship. Asking him to fight using only kendo techniques is tantamount to asking a boxer to enter a boxing match with his hands tied.

Besides, this is more in line with Motaro's wishes. Motaro originally wanted to compete with Kyushu Makoto's "martial arts", not Kyushu Makoto's "swordsmanship".

"How powerful, the benevolent swordsman = San!" Kazuri Okada tried his best, but was still beaten back and forth, and was unable to fight back.

Kyushu Cheng's moves are ever-changing, strange and deadly. What's more, he had several sparring matches with the "reincarnation of the sword master" Akira Miyamoto during the summer vacation. Although he didn't learn the way of swordsmanship, he gained a lot of "experience in fighting swordsmen."

After only ten moves, Okada's sword was thrown away.

"I surrender! I surrender! This time I really surrender, the benevolent swordsman = San!" Ichiri Okada raised his hands and shouted: "I lost, I am no match for you!"

However, the benevolent swordsman didn't seem to hear it, and pierced Okada Isato's chest with his sword.

"How can a person who repays kindness with revenge have a chance to be forgiven again?" The benevolent swordsman said in a cold tone. He pulled out his sword with force and kicked it away: "Go to hell and reflect."

After dealing with the enemy, the benevolent swordsman sheathed his sword, turned to Kanjiro and said: "The enemy has been dealt with, you can continue to march. There is nothing wrong with your behavior of forgiving the enemy, but you must be more careful next time."

"Thank you, senior!" Kanjiro thanked him in a soil-seat posture, and then planned to leave.

At this moment, the dying Okada Kazuri slowly raised his hand and said in a trembling voice: "I'm sorry, the benevolent swordsman = San Kanjiro = San, can you listen to my request?"

"What request do you have?" asked the benevolent swordsman.

"I'm so hungry," Ichiri Okada said painfully, "I haven't eaten for two days and I'm so hungry."

"What should I do?" Kanjiro was quite confused.

The benevolent swordsman groped in his pocket, took out a rice ball and handed it to Okada Kazuri.

"Thank you, the benevolent swordsman." Kazuri Okada took the rice ball and swallowed it hungrily without caring about his injury:

"Candied fruit. There is candied fruit in it. It's so delicious. I haven't eaten it in a long time. To prepare candied fruit rice balls for a humble person like me is worthy of the name of [a benevolent person]"

Immediately, Okada Kazuri burst into tears and cried very vividly.

"I will not hesitate to fulfill the last wishes of those who are about to die." The benevolent swordsman said:
"Tell me, old man, why did you embark on the road of hiring murderers?"

"I am actually a down-and-out aristocrat who has been ostracized and homeless since I was a child, living in the open with no food to eat," Kazuri Okada confessed:

"In order to survive, I was forced to become a bandit. I still had to have food and clothing. I recently received a commission from my employer. As long as I kill Kanjiro, I can get a large sum of money, so I will ambush here."

"Who is the employer?" the benevolent swordsman asked again.

"That's all. I'm going to die to repay the favor. Ahem, cough. Even if I have to go to hell, I will tell you." Okada Kazuri raised his hand with difficulty and pointed in the direction of the imperial city:

"The person who hired me to kill is ahem. Eight-jowl and one-man! Eight-jou-one-man is that!"

After saying the last sentence with all his strength, Okada Kazuri lowered his arms, spread his palms, and died with a satisfied smile.

"This is the token of the Hachijo family." The Renren Swordsman found a token from Ichiri Okada's palm, looked at it, and handed it to Kanjiro:
"He didn't lie. Only the Hachijo family is qualified to distribute this token."

Kanjiro took the token and gritted his teeth: "Hachijou dared to send people to assassinate me three times before the duel. He must have wanted to win without using force!"

". Rest in peace, Okada Ichiri = San." The benevolent swordsman leaned over Okada Ichiri and gently closed his eyes, then asked:
"What do you think, Kanjiro=San?"

"Hachijo Kazuo! That shameless villain! I will never let him off!" Kanjiro clenched his fists, looking embarrassed:
"But why do I feel sympathy for Okada Kazuri=San's death?"

"Your sympathy is not wrong. Okada Ichiri=san is actually despicable and shameless, but he has no choice but to do so." The benevolent swordsman nodded in approval:
"Now that the world is peaceful and prosperous, there are still poor people in this world. Even if Lord Wei Ming is a wise king who protects the country, how can he protect every common person?"

"The benevolent swordsman = San, is it because of this that you refuse glory and wealth and wander around the world?" Kanjiro asked admiringly: "Are you just to protect those poor people?"

"That's right." The benevolent swordsman admitted: "I have changed my mind, Kanjirou = San. I will enter the imperial city with you and make Hachijo and Ichino's crimes known to the public!"

"I am extremely happy!" Kanjiro bowed seriously.

[In this way, Kanjiro and the benevolent swordsman went together to the imperial city. 】

[At the same time, Kanjiro was also touched by the death of Okada Ichiri and the behavior of the benevolent swordsman, and secretly made some determination in his heart. 】
