Myriad Realms Gu Venerable

Chapter 42 Once No. 1 in the world

The battle between Zhou Ming and Hirakawa Taisho quickly spread among the upper echelons of Kyoto with the help of interested people.

The name of Hirakawa Taisho is not known to the people of Kyoto, but among the upper-class nobles, no one dares to ignore him.

Nohara Momonosuke's personal bodyguard has always been favored by Nohara Momonosuke. Although he is not a high-ranking official, his influence is first-class. I don't know how many dignitaries want to find opportunities to get in touch with him, but they don't even have a There are no doors.

As the personal protector of Momonosuke Nohara, Hirakawa Taisho's force is also unquestionable. No matter any killer or assassin, as long as he appears in front of him, no one will be able to leave the palace alive.

Although this world does not have the title of "Ouchi's No. [-] Master", there is no doubt that everyone believes that Hirakawa Taisho is this person.

But now, when a person who defeated Hirakawa Taisho appeared, this person instantly became a hot topic among the upper echelons.

Especially as the World's No. [-] Samurai Conference was approaching, and the news that the king's health was getting worse and worse was spreading from the palace from time to time, and the famous people arrived in Kyoto one after another.

The feeling that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings fills the hearts of every upper-class person in Kyoto.

A powerful samurai, and the daimyo he represents is very likely to be the heir to the throne!

Once the succession of the throne is completed, what these "old officials" should do depends on their performance.

For example, now or earlier, it is necessary to "bet"!Support a daimyo who he thinks is most likely to become the head of the country.

If you win the bet, you will be a dragon, and your status will naturally be improved.

Lose the bet?Gamblers never consider losing the word.

Tokugawa Gymnasium.

Tokugawa Zoro sat kneeling on the tatami mat. Across from him was a middle-aged man who seemed to be about the same age as him, making tea.

The scalding boiling water was poured into the cup, and the aroma of tea overflowed. The middle-aged man pushed the green bamboo cup in front of Tokugawa Zoro.

"Please use it, my place is no better than your house, there is no good tea." The middle-aged man said calmly.

"Teacher, don't laugh at me."

Tokugawa Saru smiled bitterly, picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and tasted it carefully. After feeling the bitterness, there was a lingering sweetness between his lips and teeth.

"How is Oishi-kun?" Putting down his teacup, Tokugawa Zoro asked softly.

"He's progressing very quickly, faster than he ever has before when he was here with me."

The middle-aged man was holding a teacup and looking out the window: "Hatred, although it is the best fuel for progress, can easily set oneself on fire and burn oneself out!"

Tokugawa Zoro remained silent, lowered his head and said, "Sorry, teacher!"

"You shouldn't say sorry to me." The middle-aged man looked at Tokugawa Zoro with a solemn expression.

"You are on your way to success. Only when you fail should you say sorry."

"Hi!" Zoro Tokugawa yelled.

"Let's have tea." The middle-aged man said.

Tokugawa Zoro picked up the teacup again, and the two of them sipped the tea in silence.

After a while, the middle-aged man spoke again: "What do you think of the warrior named Zhou Ming who defeated Hirakawa Taisho?"

Tokugawa Zoro's lowered eyelids flashed with light and he raised his head.

"He's strong."

"How strong?"

"Very strong."

"Hmm." The middle-aged man nodded and understood.

"I heard that people have been challenging him in the past few days. There are assassins, dead soldiers, wandering warriors, and famous masters."

"That's right, and... all the people who challenged him are dead. Basically, no one can be killed by him after ten moves in his hands. After killing these few days, those who dare to challenge him have already died. Very few."

"Very decisive." The middle-aged man nodded approvingly, "lurking, assassinating, poisoning, ambushing, what he has to face is not just simple challenges on the surface. If he wants to reduce the number of fights, he must work harder. Go kill."

"What the teacher said is."

"So, among those people, are there any people you sent?"

The middle-aged man's sudden question made Zoro Tokugawa's breath stagnate.

"Teacher, I..." Tokugawa Zoro paused, and then calmly said: "Yes, and there are many."

"Okay." The middle-aged man nodded, also very calm.

"It seems that he is indeed a very strong opponent." The middle-aged man poured a cup of tea for Tokugawa Zoro again.

"It's time for this old bone of mine to burn out the last bit of its glory."

"Teacher, you..." Tokugawa Zoro opened his eyes wide.

"Why are you so surprised?" The middle-aged man looked at him indifferently, "Are you going to say that you came to me just to drink tea?"

Zoro Tokugawa lowered his head again and picked up his teacup.

"Then, everything is according to what the teacher said."

The middle-aged man laughed, with a complicated and relieved smile. He asked, "When?"

"The day after tomorrow, he has already decreed that a dinner will be held in the palace the day after tomorrow, and all the big names must attend. After that, the World's Number One Warrior Conference will begin."

"it is good."

The middle-aged man nodded.

"Teacher, I will fully cooperate with you when the time comes." Tokugawa Zoro said again.

"Yeah." The middle-aged man nodded again, and his words suddenly became extremely concise.

"I'm going to see Dashi Chong, you can do whatever you want."

After that, the middle-aged man stood up and walked out.

"Teacher..." Tokugawa Zoro looked at his back and shouted in a somewhat astringent tone.

The middle-aged man paused for a moment, then continued walking out without stopping.

Zoro Tokugawa watched the middle-aged man go out like this, and when he turned a corner, his back disappeared from his sight, and the sound of his footsteps gradually faded away.

He put down the teacup in his hand, looked at the mist that was still rising inside, and sighed deeply.

His teacher, Tokugawa Yamato, who is also his uncle, looks like a middle-aged man, but his actual age is over sixty.

Because he has practiced martial arts all year round and is proficient in the secrets of health preservation, he still maintains considerable physical strength even at the age of common people who have died of old age.

Oishi Takashi is a wandering samurai whom Tokugawa Zoro met by chance a year ago. Because he saw his outstanding talent, he took him to the Tokugawa Gymnasium and introduced him to Tokugawa Yamato as a disciple.

As expected, it didn't take long for Oishi Takashi to show his extraordinary talent, and even Tokugawa Yamato was impressed by his martial arts advancement.

Tokugawa Zoro himself also worshiped Tokugawa Yamato, who was his uncle, as his teacher when he was young.

At that time, Tokugawa Yamato was like Oishi Takashi today, with astonishing talent and outstanding swordsmanship. He became a blockbuster in Kyoto, and then rose rapidly, challenging all gymnasiums, without a single defeat, unstoppable.

By the time he was 30 years old, Tokugawa Yamato had already become famous all over the world and his position was stable. No one dared to challenge him and became a living legend.

At that time, Tokugawa Yamato was invincible in the world!
