Pillars of the Wu family

Kira Wansongmaru's shady little thoughts were quickly suppressed. According to Yagyu's family, his son was very naughty since he was a child. Fortunately, he is still a little self-aware, and he didn't say that he is the number one in Tianshang County, otherwise the leader of the monks and soldiers in Xingfu Temple would definitely be very upset.

The father and son were about to perform the classic story of father's kindness and son's filial piety, but they were interrupted by an ear-piercing suffocated laugh. A small movement in a quiet room would be harsh, not to mention Yagyu Zongyan's keen six senses could detect even a little trouble, so when Yagyu Zong stared at Zenjiro Yamaoka who was snickering, and Kira Manmatsumaru had no choice but to drive the idiot out to stand as a punishment.

"Sorry, my servant is not very sensible, please continue."

"Well, it's not a problem..." Liu Shengjiayan said with a very easy-going smile that it's okay, and then talked about his son's interesting things back then.

The so-called interesting stories of Yanagyu Zongyan’s childhood are nothing more than stories like the King of Children. This name is not unfamiliar to Kira Manmatsumaru. Isn’t it just bullying peasant children who dare not mess with him? No wonder Zenjiro Yamaoka laughed Speak out, this guy has done this before, of course he knows what the so-called King of Children is all about.

But Zenjiro Yamaoka's level is too low. The King of the Kids is different from the King of the Kids. Yagyu Zongyan will be a great swordsman who can shake the world in the future. How much can Zenjiro Yamaoka achieve?At best, it is a competent horse turning head.

Not to mention the bragging stories of the Liusheng family, just say that this Liusheng Zongyan's courage is really extraordinary. He dared to go out with a few surnames at the age of 14, and he returned home only once in a few years. It was because of the family's survival. His personality is enough to become a master of a generation. Compared with him, Zenjiro Yamaoka is a scumbag.

"This is the principle of comparing people to death, comparing goods and throwing goods away! I don't think he will have any complaints even if we let that idiot hang up now!" Kira Wanmatsumaru directly posted the label of "scumbag work" for Yamaoka Zenjiro, But he completely ignores that his own level of martial arts is not even third-rate, and if time goes by Zenjiro's age, he will be at a scum level.

Yanagyu Zongyan left home at the age of 14, and ran to the icy and snowy Echizen country to learn swordsmanship from Toda Ittosai, who had just become famous under Echizen Tomita Rumen. The bell roll has become a master of a school, and he is only in his 40s today. It is conceivable that the level of Yidao Zhai, who just created the bell roll nine years ago, is still a bit low.

So Yagyu Zongyan, as the great disciple of Toda Ittosai, was naturally cultivated by this master with all his strength. However, this master Tomita-style fencing has indeed mastered the essence, but he has not fully figured out the self-created bell scroll style, so when Yagyu After Zong Yan learned swordsmanship from his master Toda Issai for several years, he felt that his master was nothing more than that. When he was thinking about how to kick this master, it happened that the Yagyu family was facing the attack of the Tsutsui allied forces. Back to leave Echizen country.

Later, after he surrendered to the Tsutsui family after the battle, Yagyu Zongyan felt that there were more swordsmen in Kyoto, so he went to Kyoto to worship under the Shindangru sect, and under the sect of Shinjuro Shinjuro, who taught the Shindangryu swordsmanship at the Kyoto dojo, He worked hard to learn the new Dang-style swordsmanship, until this year he was recruited by his father to take over as the family governor.

This Yagyu Zongyan does not seem to have the appearance of a master at the moment, he hums and chirps with a proud look and doesn't care about others. Later, I heard that Hidetaka Nakajo, whose alias is Nakajo Idehasuke, is a master of swordsmanship from the Nakajo-ryu clan. Unable to remain calm any longer, he stood up and challenged Hidetaka Nakajo directly regardless of the occasion.

"I, Yagyu Shinzaemon, challenge you, please give me your advice, Your Highness Nakajo!"

"Okay! I, Hidetaka, accept Yagyuden's challenge." Hidetaka Nakajo sat up straight without haste, and replied seriously.

Hidetaka Nakajo is not very old, but when it comes to temperament, he is definitely better than Yanagyu Zongyan. Facing Yanagyu Zongyan's imposing challenge, he is not flustered, and he can calmly arrange his clothes and get up to fight. Compared with Yanagyu Zongyan It's a lot worse. Right from the start, they rushed to attack one after another. The wooden knife in his hand seemed to be performing acrobatics, and all kinds of fancy sword skills were inaudible.

Nakajo Hidetaka was not in a hurry to fight back, he dealt with Yanagyuzong patiently, and the two sides fought back and forth twenty times. Nakajo Hidetaka, who had been slow all the time, saw the opportunity and suddenly swung his knife violently to throw away Yanagyuzong. Yan's sword momentum, a thrust knocked him to the ground, and the trial ended with Hidetaka Nakajo's victory.

"Why did I lose so badly!" Yagyu Zongyan wiped off the sweat on his forehead and threw away the wooden knife unwillingly. Seeing that Hidetaka Nakajo's face was neither red nor panting, he chased after him angrily, and shouted. : "Zhongtiaodian! Why did you release the water just now? You did this against the dignity of a military strategist! Please tell me! Why did you do this!"

"Shinjiro! Come here! Don't you think I'm not ashamed enough?" Yagyu Jiayan hurriedly stood up and pulled him back. Unfortunately, his son is a bull-tempered son, so this old man can't hold him back.

Ignoring his father's scolding, Liu Shengzongyan still stubbornly asked: "Please give me an explanation!"

"Yagyuden's swordsmanship is too impetuous. Although every sword technique is very delicate, the changes are erratic and full of tricks. It seems that Liushengden has already understood the importance of sword skills." Nakajo Hidetaka patiently explained: "It's a pity, Liu Shengdian has not yet understood a truth, it is too fancy for a master of swordsmanship and military strategist, the more changes, the more flaws, I just used [-] rounds to observe Liu Shengshaodian's swordsmanship, to find out Liu Shengshaodian's Changing your habits can win you with one blow."

Nakajo Hidetaka was very polite, and he didn't tell the whole truth. Yagyu Zongyan's swordsmanship was useless. He pursued novel swordsmanship and ignored the basic skills. It was useless to practice without a solid foundation. That's why he A tactful reminder, the more you change, the faster you lose.

"Hmph! Isn't the art of war the pursuit of exquisite sword skills? Why do I become more and more flawed? This is simply unreasonable!" Liu Shengzongyan retorted very dissatisfied.

At this moment, his father, Yagyu Jiayan, who was not familiar with swordsmanship, had fully understood it. He sighed and said, "Shinjiro! You are a child with great talent for swordsmanship, that's why I allowed you to go out to learn the art of war, but you You have been studying the art of war for almost ten years, and if you get even one exemption, you will pass the certificate? I, a layman, understand what His Highness Nakajo means. Why do you, a child with outstanding talent, insist on digging into the horns? Have you forgotten Toda Yidaosai? Has His Highness ever written you a letter? People who only want to learn unique skills and ignore the basics will never be able to become a master of military art!"

"A person who only wants to learn unique skills but ignores the basics will never be able to become a master of military art!... Is this what the letter that Shifan wrote to me meant? Was it wrong for me to leave Toda Shifan?" The quiet bar was completely shocked, and the whole person fell into a strange state of talking to himself, ignoring the guests in the hall, just repeating it and walking out.

Hidetaka Nakajo hesitated, "Is there really no problem with Yagyuden?"

"Ah! It's okay! This situation is a nightmare! Please ask the doctor of Xingfu Temple to prescribe some soothing decoction!" Jiliang Wansongwan said carelessly that there is no problem.

"I see, then on behalf of my son, I would like to thank His Highness Saijo! Thank you for your reminder! Without His Highness's help, my son is still immersed in fancy swordsmanship and cannot extricate himself. I, Yagyu Jiayan, thank you both!" A young man It is indeed not easy for a person over Pentecost to bend down to thank a half-grown child or a child. This is the power of fatherly love.

Kira Manmatsumaru shrugged his shoulders and said that he doesn't mind, this trip will definitely be in vain, this Yagyu Zongyan's level is not as good as Nakajo Hidetaka, no wonder in history this expert has lived in seclusion until his later years before he achieved great swordsmanship. If you continue to maintain your backward thinking, you will not be able to wake up in ten or eight years. By then, your foundation will be crooked. If you want to straighten it, you will have to spend several times more time and energy to correct it until you reach maturity in your later years. It is not so strange.

Leaving Yagyu's house, Kira Manmatsumaru's trip to Yamato Kingdom ended here. Originally, he planned to go directly north to Yamashiro Kingdom and then return to Sakamoto along the Yodo River, but Yamaoka Zenjiro reminded him that he could not go directly back to Kinki because of the arrangement by His Royal Highness Ashikaga Yoshito The task is not done.

"I forgot such an important thing! Damn it!" He had to go to Settsu to see the army of Miyoshi's family, so he had to return to Hanoi. Kira Wansongmaru scratched his head in distress: "Why bother going back and forth Come on, if I knew it earlier, I should have finished my errands before coming to Yamato."
