Gentlemen, listen to the sword chant

Chapter 43
After the gambling house was robbed, after Chen Ci thought about it, he definitely couldn't bear such a big loss alone, so he asked all the gamblers who lost money to make a written statement, and gave him time to investigate clearly, and he would definitely compensate.What are you kidding?Wouldn't it be a loss to grandma's family if they really didn't keep their mouths shut and just set the price like this?Business at a loss, never make a statement.

All the gamblers sighed and complained, but after all, the son-in-law had guaranteed the tickets himself, and no one dared to say anything, so they all dispersed.

That night, Chen Ci was very depressed. He was robbed in the city, and it was useless to report to the official. Now there is not even a trace of clues. Tall, from Daliang, with some accents that are not from Wu and Yue states.

As a last resort, Chen Ci could only temporarily suffer from being dumb.

Little Chiba Kendo Hall.

The warlikeness of the Dongying nation is deeply imprinted in its genes. The Dongying people advocate the "Gourd Way" and "Samurai Way".It's just a pity that the prime minister of the cabinet in this area is Tian Kakumu, a representative of the right wing, which has also led to the fact that the senior generals of the four major military houses in Japan are all samurai who believe in Bushido.In Dongying, there are many types of Bushido, but they can be roughly divided into several schools, among which the Little Chiba School is undoubtedly the outstanding one. In the past ten years, many senior leaders of the four major military houses have directly selected from the Little Chiba Kendo Hall .

For example, Uesugi, who became a master at a young age, has unfathomable swordsmanship, and has reached the level of perfection. He was awarded the rank of deputy first rank by the Dongying cabinet in 19 years in Tai'an.The military rank system within Dongying is completely different from that of Great Liang, and it is more complicated than Great Liang. There are nine ranks in total from low to high, and Uesugi’s first rank is a position that can almost be on an equal footing with many older generals in the military government .Of course, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are struggles. There is another reason why Uesugi can have such an unlimited future. It is because he is the big brother of the Little Chiba Kendo Gym. The head of the Kendo Gym has passed away long ago. Uesugi Qi inherited Xiao Chiba's mantle and mastered it to a very deep level. He is the leader of Xiao Chiba Kendo Hall.The reason why the cabinet awarded him such a high military rank is that many generals in the army have learned from Xiaoqianye Kendokan. In terms of seniority, they have to respectfully call Shang Shanqi "Pavilion Master", so Shang Shanqi can take on this important task.

A flying geese from the capital landed on Dongying Street, Uesugi looked at a line of small characters on the letter and fell into deep thought.

From the heart, Uesugi was unwilling to participate in political struggles. He traveled across the East China Sea, traveled thousands of miles, and came to Daliang not for the purpose of fighting for power and profit, but because he was fed up with fighting and intrigue in the political arena.Back then, his master was framed by his opponents in politics and died in depression.But in the quagmire, he can't help himself. As the helm of the Little Chiba Kendo Gym, he was awarded a military rank by the cabinet. Secondly, he is also from Dongying. Abandon personal honor and disgrace gains and losses.

The letter was sent by my junior sister Meiko Honma.

The requirements are simple.

I hope Uesugi Qi will mobilize his own power to instigate friction between the Jianghu people and the local government, as well as the friction with the Dongying people.

The third senior brother Fujino Kenshin from the Little Chiba Kendo Hall came slowly, bowed first, then presented two bamboo scrolls, and said in a low voice: "Senior brother, both the military government and the cabinet have sent secret letters."

Uesugi nodded, with lingering worry on his brows, why didn't he know what the cabinet and the military government were planning?Ever since the Japanese people landed at Daliang Port in the early days of Tai'an and discovered such a vast and rich continent, those greedy people on the right have shown their wolfish ambitions.The defeat in the first naval battle temporarily allowed the left-wing ministers to control the cabinet and bowed their heads to Great Liang, but they still did not stop the ambitions of the right-wingers.

They crave war.

I hope that Japan will occupy this rich land, strive for fame and fortune, and pursue some meritorious deeds.

"Eldest brother, the military government has sent several lists of titles, including Tanaka..." Fujino said in a low voice.

"I see."

Uesugi sighed, some things cannot be escaped.

He knew that many people in the kendo gym were fanatics who praised war, such as Hitoshi Tanaka, who was eager to get a military rank from the cabinet and then join the army.

"Brother, I have something..." Fujino hesitated, hesitating.

"speak."

"Little junior sister investigated in the capital and found a clue, it is about our master."

Uesugi, who was originally careless, shrank his pupils, and suddenly looked back, staring at Fujino: "What's the matter?"

Fujino put his hands on Uesugi's shoulders, trying to use this action to make Uesugi not get too excited, but his approach was in vain, because Uesugi had been investigating the cause of his master's death, Mr. Beicheng.I remember that many years ago, his master was invited to the dinner party of the cabinet and the military government. After he came back, he was worried.He felt that there must be some ulterior reason for this.

Fujino smiled bitterly: "Junior Sister said that the Generalissimo of the Honshu Military Mansion, Takeshita Weibu, was very close to Prince Gong. The junior sister was very concerned, and secretly investigated, and found that Takeshita Weibu had provided Prince Gong with a medicine for a long time. Prince Gong paid tribute to the current emperor..."

Uesugi narrowed his eyes.

How fast is his thinking?He realized something was wrong right away. If... If those ambitious right-wingers used this drug to poison his master, then there is no proof.

Of course, everything is guesswork.

Uesugi didn't dare to think deeply, because his master, Mr. Beicheng, was a left-winger. He publicly declared his rejection of war many times and refused to send disciples to the military government. It is entirely possible.

"Well, I got it." Uesugi suppressed the anger in his heart and acted very flatly. Fujino was confused, but he didn't dare to say more.Uesugi put aside the topic, looked at the snow on the window eaves, and said with emotion: "Those right-wing militants have too big plans."

Fujino also sighed with emotion: "Yes."

"The war is coming." Uesugi said.

"war?"

"Well, the war won't take long. When the Great Liang Emperor dies, the war will start."

Fujino was terrified.

Uesugi put one hand on Fujino's shoulder, stared at him with burning eyes, and said word by word: "Fujino, don't forget Master's teaching. At that time, although you and I are soldiers, although soldiers take obeying orders I hope you will not be blinded by the killing and blood, and I hope you will not be ashamed of Master's true meaning of swordsmanship."
