Chapter 552 Excuse Me, What Are the Famous Dojos Around Kyoto?

The work on the first day was not difficult. As Gabriel said, it was just eating, eating and having fun. The two of them walked around the capital city, basically just joining in wherever the excitement was. Even before night, the French businessman told Zhang Heng that he could After leaving, Zhang Heng could feel that there were sneaky guys following them along the way.

However, what he got was only the salary of the translator, not including the part of the guards. Unless the little tails behind him suddenly shot at the French businessman and Zhang Heng couldn't get the salary later, otherwise he was just following them like now, and Zhang Heng didn't pay attention to them. Intend.

What's more, although Gabriel looked cheerful, he might not be unaware that he was being followed, otherwise he would not do any business this day, and wander around for someone to see.

Zhang Heng is not interested in these two groups of people with their own ulterior motives. He will do what Gabriel says, and he will not ask or care about the rest. In the small courtyard next to him, he took a ladle of water from the well and gulped it down.

Cold well water is the best thirst-quenching drink in this era. Zhang Heng wiped his mouth with his sleeve. At this time, there were sparse shouts and the sound of wooden knives hitting each other from the small mountain dojo across the wall.

Zhang Heng remembered Xiao Shanqian's invitation last night, and he happened to have something to ask her, so he put down the wooden ladle in his hand and came to the next door while it was still early today.

There is a plaque hanging outside the main entrance of the ashram, and there are five big characters written on Xiaoshan Mingxinliu. Zhang Heng searched his memory, but he has no impression of this genre, but this is also normal. There are more than 200 genres recorded, and there are even more unrecorded ones.

However, most of them were later lost, and only the most famous ones survived.

But in the era of Heisei trash and Reiwa macho, there are even fewer people who are still learning swordsmanship, and various schools also emphasize self-cultivation, and swordsmanship is no longer a killing technique.

Xiaoshan Mingxinliu must have finally been submerged in the torrent of history like other small schools.

Zhang Heng didn't think too much, and walked directly into the dojo.

The first thing that catches the eye is a green grape trellis covered with vines, but it is not yet the time for the grapes to mature, there are only some sparse flower buds among the green leaves, and beside the grape trellis is a maple tree, There is probably one person surrounding the tree, and the tree is surrounded by a fence. There are three hens, and there is a small vegetable field on the right side of the chicken coop. Some vegetables are planted in it, and the growth is very good.

Zhang Heng's expression was a little weird. It didn't look like a dojo at all, but a small farmyard. Fortunately, the main house after passing through the courtyard was very orderly. There were weapon racks for bamboo knives and breastplates, and offering There is also a small wooden sign with everyone's name written on it, arranged in the order of the teacher and the students.

The dojo is very lively at the moment, Xiao Shanqian is teaching, but her students are all relatively young, the oldest is probably only fourteen or five years old, and the youngest are even seven or eight years old, obviously all A group of children, but they practiced very seriously, catching them two by two, wearing protective gear and swinging a knife to beat them, while Xiao Shanqian walked among the crowd, correcting the movements of those children and encouraging them at the same time.

She saw Zhang Heng, and nodded at him. After learning about Zhang Heng's experience of traveling to the West, she finally stopped seeing Zhang Heng as an idler and troublemaker.

After arranging the training, Xiao Shanqian walked out of the main room and said to Zhang Heng, "Have you come to practice swords?"

"No, no, I want to ask about the famous ashrams around Kyoto." Zhang Heng said.

Xiao Shanxi was stunned when she heard the words, and then a look of shame and indignation appeared on her face.

Zhang Heng realized that she had misunderstood something, and quickly added, "I didn't want to find a dojo to learn from, actually... I came to Beijing just to meet the masters here."

"Hey, what did you say you came to Beijing for?" Xiao Shanqian's eyes widened, as if she had heard something incredible. Although she didn't say what happened next, the look in Zhang Heng's eyes already explained everything. problem.

Xiao Shanqian's impression of Zhang Heng has improved to a certain extent now. However, in the market before, the latter watched the whole process and did not dare to save people. She also remembers it very clearly. It is hard to imagine that such a person would even say the purpose of coming to Kyoto It's a master in the world for a while.

However, Akane Xiaoshan still likes to think of the good of people. Maybe it is because Zhang Heng has been studying abroad for too long. After returning to China, he is not very clear about the situation in China. Since this guy thinks he is a master, why didn't he make a move before?

Xiao Shanqian was thinking about this problem, but suddenly saw the dental man who brought Zhang Heng to see the house last night ran in from outside again, still yelling, "It's not good, it's not good, run for your life, a group of warriors are coming Asked everywhere where your dojo is, with a menacing look, probably your father's enemy, I pointed them in a random direction, but it probably won't be long before they come back."

"The enemy? But when my late father was alive, he never had any disputes with anyone, and I never heard of him having any grudges with anyone." Xiao Shanqian shook her head and said.

Zhang Heng's expression changed, he thought of a group of people, the three warriors from the Changzhou domain last night were quite useless, in fact, in terms of strength, the guy who drew his sword and stabbed people was still higher than Xiaoshanqian, plus The above matter involved the honor of the Changzhou Fan, and the other party might find it difficult to swallow this breath.

Yaren was anxious, "It's this time, what's the use of saying such a thing, it's true to go out first to avoid disaster."

"Are you asking me to leave the dojo and hide alone?" Xiao Shanqian frowned.

"Otherwise, can you still take the dojo with you?" Yaren rolled his eyes.

But what he didn't expect was that the group of warriors came faster than he had imagined. The two of them hadn't reached a conclusion yet, but the other party had already killed them one step ahead. There were five people in total.

In addition to Yamada who fought against Akane Koyama at the market, Matsuo and Takahashi who watched the excitement, there are two other unfamiliar faces.

Yamada's face was so gloomy that water dripped out. Last night's defeat was too humiliating for him. After waking up from the drunkenness, he immediately wanted to come back to find the place, but it was still a step too late. After all, they were on the street last night. In the last fight, someone from the warriors of the Banbai faction had already heard the wind.

And it's Shinji Takeuchi who doesn't have a good relationship with him. Takeuchi is also from the Changzhou Domain. Like Yamada, he is a small and well-known samurai in the downfall sect. It is inevitable that people will compare each other. After a long time, they don't see each other well .

About half a year ago, Takeuchi came to Yamada for a competition. He thought it would be a close fight, but it ended in Yamada's defeat. The two fought with only a dozen moves, and Yamada was completely suppressed. Apart from the difference in strength, Yamada The saber style he practiced was also restrained by bamboo, which is the real reason why he lost so ugly.

After that World War, Takeuchi became more famous in the Banbai faction, but Yamada showed signs of going downhill, and the two also had a grudge because of this. The last thing Yamada wanted last night was to be known by Takeuchi. The relationship between Takeuchi and Takahashi is very good. Yamada suspects that Takahashi leaked this matter to Takeuchi. The latter came to the door early in the morning. Tell more people about what happened last night.

Yamada had no choice but to agree to the other party's request, so in today's battle, he must not only win, but also win beautifully, leaving Takeuchi speechless.
