Chapter 548
Seeing Yamada draw a sword, the passers-by all seemed to rush away, but now Akane Koyama made a move, and after receiving Yamada's sword, everyone stopped and stood aside to watch the excitement from a distance.
Yamada missed a hit, and his mood became a little bad, and what was even worse was that he saw that the one who stopped him was actually a woman, so he snorted coldly, "Is the current dojo also depraved, accepting all messy people, it's simply outrageous!"
The young woman on the opposite side didn't let her down when she heard the words, and said, "In my opinion, the Changzhou domain is in decline, but the dignified warriors only bully little girls on the street."
Yamada's face darkened, murderous intent surged in his heart, and he said in a serious tone, "Woman, are you insulting my samurai from the Changzhou Clan?"
Unlike most people's impressions, the shogunate in the Edo period had much more restrictions on samurai, and civilians could not be cut off just because they were unhappy. According to Article 71 of the "Official Order" promulgated by Tokugawa Yoshimune in 1742, samurai only Only when the reputation is harmed by disrespectful behavior can the right of "cutting people and exempting from punishment" be given.
And the regulations on rude behavior are also very detailed. First of all, in most cases, you can only kill civilians on your own daimyo's territory (at the same time, your daimyo doesn't like your civilians being chopped down), and there is a risk of killing people in Edo and Kyoto. It is very big (there are even Edo civilians who are keen on extreme sports to deliberately provoke samurai), and secondly, you can’t turn over old accounts. It’s not okay to kill people today after being insulted yesterday. Thirdly, if the other party apologizes, you can’t do it again. In addition, samurai After killing the man, he must accept a rather cumbersome investigation and inquiry. Once the report is found to be false, he will be deprived of his samurai status immediately. Of course, if there are no witnesses or a fast-running ronin is another problem.
So strictly speaking, it was very reluctant for Yamada to kill the two girls who sold grilled eels. If he hadn't drank a lot tonight, there is a high probability that he would not draw out his sword, especially in broad daylight. .
But now the situation is different.
This young woman who came out of nowhere spoke rudely. Although Santian was drunk, his head was not completely turned away. As soon as the other party said the words, he first put on the hat of "insulting the warriors of the Changzhou Domain". If he makes a move again, even if he is investigated, it will be a waste of time.
Akane Koyama obviously realized that her previous expression was inappropriate, but before she could speak, the older girl next to Chiyo suddenly burst into tears.
She was completely frightened and stupid before, and stayed in place motionless, and she didn't react until now.
"Go away!" Yamada already had a new goal, and he didn't bother to care about the two brats in front of him. Impatiently, he waved and pushed the girl to the side and fell down. Chiyo also quickly ran to his companion, after confirming that the former was just the palm of his hand. After the scratches were all right, her big beautiful eyes moved to Xiao Shanqian again, and her eyes were full of concern.
Yamada had already raised his sword again. Although he disdained Xiao Shanqian in his words, he didn't dare to underestimate the opponent even if he could block his own sword, and quickly set up his posture.
Xiao Shanqian's sword skills were passed down from her father, who was the owner of the Xiaoshan Dojo. She grew up in the Dojo. With sharp eyes, you can basically tell whether a person has real materials from the posture of holding a knife.
Although the samurai of the Changzhou clan in front of her was brutal and violent, she was not just an idiot with only fancy fists and embroidered legs, and Akane Xiaoshan only brought a wooden knife, so this battle was also not easy for her.
At this time, there were more passers-by watching, and Matsuo and Takahashi were sweating anxiously at this time. Who knows if the Shinsengumi guys are around, when they will appear, and Yamada won this battle. It doesn't make any sense, because the other party is just a girl, and if, if Yamada loses, it will not be his own people, but also the face of the entire Changzhou Fan.
The two looked at each other, thinking in their hearts whether they should just throw Xiao Shanqian down and run with Yamada. However, the next moment, a line of sight fell on Matsuo, and Matsuo felt a pang for no reason. With a strong sense of crisis, he raised his head and looked at the owner of that gaze. It was a guy dressed as a ronin. The other party saw him looking over and raised the knife in his hand, which was obviously a warning.
Matsuo whispered unluckily, he is not a master like Yamada, originally because he was not well received in the original place, so he gritted his teeth and sneaked into the anti-sectoral faction, thinking that when he overthrows the rule of the shogunate, he, a veteran, can also It's a similar situation for Takahashi on the other side, and it's okay for the two of them to follow behind Yamada to pick up cheap and make up knives. If you really want them to fight with others, even if it's a two-on-one situation Not sure either.
And even though the guy on the opposite side looked desolate, the look in his eyes just now was really fierce. Matsuo can be sure that people who have never seen blood will not have such eyes.
Could it be the thugs who killed someone somewhere and fled to Kyoto?
For the sake of caution, Matsuo and Takahashi decided to stop still and stand still.
On the other hand, Yamada and Koyama Akane have already devoted themselves to the battle, and they no longer care about what is happening around them. What Yamada is good at is a sword technique called Oishi Kankage Style, which originated from Xinyin Style. It was created by Oishi Shinzoji. It is said that Oishi once used a bamboo knife to pick all over the dojos in Edo, and he was invincible. The biggest feature of Oishi Kamage Ryu is the fast left hand. Yamada's left hand sword is as fast as lightning and full of aggression.
On the other side, Xiao Shanqian uses her family's sword technique, which is mainly defensive, and she guards a wooden knife tightly.
This is the first time Zhang Heng has seen a samurai fighting swords in the Edo period. Whether it is Akane Koyama or Yamada, the sword skills of the two are obviously inferior to him. According to Zhang Heng's estimation, Yamada's sword skills should be just stepped Not long after entering lv2, Xiaoshan Akane is still at the peak of lv1.
However, one was unable to display his full strength because he drank too much wine, and the other was holding a wooden knife in his hand. In comparison, Yamada was a little more affected. Although Zhang Heng didn't know about his The name of the sword technique school, but it can be seen that he also walks with speed, which has high requirements for agility and precision of knife. However, he is obviously affected by the state of shaking when he walks now.
On the other side, Xiao Shanqian's situation is a little bit better. Her weapons are at a disadvantage, and her sword skills are also lacking in changes. The surface is so dangerous.
