A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

"Dragonfly cut!"

Mrs. Xiaoping couldn't help but lost her voice!

The Dragonfly Kiri is not a famous item that has been passed down from ancient times. It is said that it was a spear specially made for Honda Tadakatsu, who was good at using spears. It is a masterpiece among Meinong legends and the king among long-length spears.

One more thing to mention, Dragonfly Kiri and Muramasa have the same origin.

The attendant gently opened the wooden box, and there was indeed a long gun inside. [The gun body is 1 foot 4 inches (43.7 cm) long, the stem is 1 foot 8 inches (55.6 cm) long, the widest part is 3.7 cm, the thickness is 1 cm, and it weighs 498 grams. Excerpted from Encyclopedia]

There was no such thing as a flash of cold light, and the silk was wrapped in thin folds. In fact, it is a gun rather than a short sword with a long handle.

Uden Nagataru lifted the gun and just lightly scratched it on the wrapped silk. The cooked silk split quietly along with the tip of the gun. There was neither the sound of tearing silk nor the sound of sharp blade cutting.

Those who are truly proficient in this art are often reserved in their words, while those who have only half-knowledge often speak eloquently.

As used here, this sentence is somewhat appropriate and somewhat inappropriate. Dragonfly Kiri is the kind of person who looks simple and unpretentious in appearance, without any sharpness at all.

If you don't fly, it's enough. Just soar into the sky. If you don't sing, it will be a blockbuster.

"It's really a treasure!" Xiaopingta sighed, making no secret of his love for Dragonfly Cheetah.

Historically, his master was Nanosuke, who was sitting in the corridor outside the door at this moment, still looking confused and ignorant.

Of course, now just a gun head is only one head shorter than Nanosuke, if you add a gun barrel of more than five meters. I dare not think that Nanosuke will definitely not be able to dance. A child who is less than 1.2 meters long wants to dance with a spear that is more than 6 meters long? Frightening!

But good things still have to be collected. If Uden Changzhao took out the money and silk, Xiaoheita would definitely give it to him. Xiao Pingtai's family fortune was in the tens of thousands of dollars, so why did he go to the U Palace to take a photo of the money and silk? But a famous craftsman like Dragonfly Cutting may be able to make one in his lifetime. After passing this village, there will be no such shop.

"Then I would like to express my gratitude to you." Xiaopingta accepted the dragonfly cut with a face full of love.

"As long as you like it, it's fine. Such a famous thing must be used by a famous samurai like Danzheng." Uden Changsho looked like it was true. What samurai doesn't like swords and armor.

Tatsuzo and Nanosuke who were outside the house came into the house, wrapped the wooden box carefully with kapok cloth, and tied it with a velvet rope. Steady, no problem.

We need to find a good master, use the best wood core material to wrap the silk with paint, and get a good pole for the dragonfly cutter. Otherwise, how will he be worthy of his name as one of the top three guns in the world in the future.

…

After passing Yoshida, the forces of Oda Fang and the Mikawa people began to interlock. The lord of Okazaki Castle, Matsudaira Ieyasu, and the lord of Anxian Castle, Hirate Fenghide appointed by Oda Nobunaga, have not made very smooth progress in Mikawa. After two years, they have only won over some Chinese people. The Nishisanhe area has not yet been fully integrated and is somewhat chaotic.

"Nanosuke, the Honda clan is a powerful family in Mikawa. Do you have any relatives you can rely on?"

Xiaopingta saw that the situation in Mikawa was a bit chaotic and wanted to find a reliable person to stay. They went to see Oda Nobunaga with a gift from Yamauchi Yoshikatsu. Those two swords were worth at least several hundred swords. If someone saw them, they might have a different intention in life.

"Huh?" Nanosuke thought for a while, with some indescribable expressions on his face. It was obvious that the Honda clan of Mikawa did not leave much of a good impression on him.

"I made a mistake." Koheita then remembered that after Nanosuke's father died, he went to seek refuge with his uncle. Later, his uncle's family business also declined. Now their team was completely cold, and no one in the other Honda clan thought of the future Dongguo Wushuang.

In the end, Nanosuke and his son were left to live in a foreign land, relying on his mother Xiaoye to sell salty radishes to support him. This also led to the fact that he, a serious son of the Wu family, could not even read a single Chinese character or write his name before he was nine years old.

"No, Tansei, Uncle Nagasaka is very good to me." Nanosuke thought for a while and suddenly named a person.

"Uncle Nagasaka? Bloody Spear Kuro Nagasaka Cha Tori Kuro Nobumasa!" Koheita reacted immediately.

"Yes, yes, brother Kuro is also very good to me." Nanosuke agreed quickly.

"Can you take us to meet your Uncle Nagasaka?" Xiaoping was too interested.

…

An ordinary country house that could not be more ordinary was worse than the landlord's compound owned by Uncle Tsunliang's house. The thatch on the roof is all gray and white, and there are even eaves pine trees.

In front of him were a warrior in his forties, weather-beaten, with a resolute face, and a boy in his fifteenth or sixteenth year.

"Hello Uncle Nagasaka, hello Brother Kuro." Nanosuke obviously had a good impression of the father and son.

"Nanosuke, come here quickly and let me take a look." Nagasaka Nobumasa obviously also likes Nanosuke.

After touching the tough-minded Nanosuke, Nagasaka Nobumasa glanced at Koheita and his group.

"Are you Nanosuke's stepfather?" He was a little unsure.

"No, no, no, Nanosuke's stepfather is my retainer Kawabe Uhei Kanobu, and Nanosuke was sent by him to be my attendant. As for me, I live in the house of Young Master Bi Tsuna in Zikoji." Kodaira took a look. People misunderstood and hurriedly explained.

"Are you the one whose name is passed down to the Eastern Kingdom and who practices Zixiaoji Tanzheng? I'm sorry." Nagasaka Nobumasa and his son Nagasaka Nobuya immediately bowed their heads and saluted.

It turns out that the Honda family and the Nagasaka family are both members of the Mikawa family. Nagasaka Nobumasa's father and grandfather both worked for the Ashikaga shogun in Luo, so the two families are old acquaintances.

Honda Tadaka and Nagasaka Nobumasa also know each other and have a good relationship. Nagasaka Nobumasa, the former Ashigaru general of the Matsudaira clan, has always had a salary of at least 100 kan. The name of Blood Spear Kuro is still good, and all the forces want this kind of fierce general.

Now Nagasaka Nobumasa has been recruited by Matsudaira Ieyasu with a salary of 130 kuai, and his life is much better than that of Nanosuke, who had lost his biological father. But he is also a good person, always helping acquaintances from all walks of life, making his own family's life very tight.

And Xiaoye was a strong woman and almost refused to borrow money from him to live, so he also neglected to take care of Nanosuke. In the end, Xiaoye remarried Heiroku and moved away. Only then did he realize that the Nanosuke family was too poor to uncover the blame.

Seeing Nanosuke again this time, I saw that Nanosuke was well taken care of by Heita. He was well-fed, short and stocky, and wore well-fitting linen clothes, and he looked good-looking. Nagasaka Nobumasa was also happy with Nanosuke's current situation, so he naturally warmly entertained Xiaoping Tai and his party.

Sanhe has been in turmoil for many years, and there is nothing good to be done. Now it is still in its infancy.

However, Nagasaka Nobumasa was not stingy. He kept the wheat rice balls full and the miso soup was served in a big basin. He also asked Nagasaka Nobumasa to buy some wine.

The two naturally talked about Matsudaira Ieyasu, the lord of Okazaki Castle.
