Chapter 522: The sword is not unsheathed.
Ronin swings his sword, and Yan Jiu draws his sword.
Ronin was originally a desperado, a formally trained warrior. However, because his master's family was ruined and he was unwilling to serve his new master, he could only wander around and live in exile.
But - samurai are originally a military class that does not engage in production. If they lose the support of their masters, it is impossible to expect samurai to farm and hunt. How can they engage in such a low-class life?
Only by occasionally robbing homes and houses can they barely maintain a living.
Japan is currently in turmoil, with frequent wars, and the people are living in poverty. At the same time, they are also armed, and everyone is a tough nut to crack. Even if the robbery is successful, there will be very little oil and water. It is simply a hellish difficulty game.
But crossing the sea to the west and arriving in China, everything changed.
The south of the Yangtze River has been a fertile land since ancient times. The warm wind makes tourists drunk, so they only call Hangzhou Bianzhou.
If you rob a village casually, you will have a lot of food and property. If you can rob a village, town or county, you will have countless gold, silver, treasures, mansions and beautiful women for you to enjoy. Can such a paradise-like life be achieved in Japan? ?
Today, there are two main sources of the Japanese pirate rebellion. One is that Wang Zhi mobilized the power of Japan for his own use through his business in Japan, completely monopolizing the entire maritime trade, and objectively making it more convenient for the homeless ronin in Japan. Come to China to make a living.
On the other hand, Japan's own country is in chaos, with great names emerging and princes vying for hegemony. It is called the Warring States Period, and it is indeed worthy of its name. Even if the village chiefs are fighting, there are hundreds of village chiefs. If you beat me today, I will beat you tomorrow. A large number of daimyo were wiped out and replaced by newly enfeoffed retainers. It can be said that the situation is changing and the emperor is taking turns.
When society is in chaos, a large number of ronin will also be born. They have no loyalty at all, are good at killing, and are cruel by nature. They are themselves a factor of instability. Therefore, since the lords of various places cannot use these ronin for their own purposes, they are simply happy to see them. They went to China to make a living. After all, if they returned to China in the end, they would bring back a large amount of gold, silver and silk.
From an objective point of view, this is also a business.
The ronin in front of him is a typical Japanese ronin. He is violent, cruel and murderous. He can swing his sword at Yan Jiu just because he doesn't like it.
Because they are not essentially companions, but a pack of wolves.
A pack of wolves, not a pack of wolves.
The wolf pack has a leader, and everyone will obey the command of the alpha wolf.
But a pack of wolves is just a temporary gathering of jackals, each with its own master and a loose sand.
There is no need to obey anyone, just wanton robbery and killing.
The ronin in front of him didn't make a move. He wanted to kill Yan Jiu once he made a move. The sword in his hand slashed straight, fast, accurate and ruthless. Without more than ten years of practice, it would be difficult to have such a fast sword.
But Yan Jiu's sword was very slow.
Many people looked at the speed of Yan Jiu's sword and lamented in their hearts: "This life is dead."
Heihachiro drew his sword faster than Ronin, and the sword was placed across the front of the werewolf's sword. The sword was thin and thin, and the sword was wide. It was thick, but even thicker. When the tachi was struck on the katana, it was like cutting on a stone. Not only did the tachi not move at all, but the entire tachi bounced back.
Ronin looked at Heihachiro, with a hint of fear in his eyes: "Noda, do you like this guy?"
Yan Jiu looked at Heihachiro who suddenly had a treacherous side, and was a little surprised. With a loud sound, the sword was sheathed again.
"I just fell in love with this guy's knife." Heihachiro Noda laughed and said. "If this kid is killed by you, won't my knife belong to you?" "
At that time, I have to kill you to get the knife, wouldn't it be a big loss for me."
The people around were stunned when they heard this. Yanjiu looked at Heihachiro: "Who wants you to meddle in other people's business? If you want a knife, just grab it yourself." With that
said, Yanjiu laid the sword flat in front of him and looked at Heihachiro sideways: "The knife It's right here."
Ronin saw that Yan Jiu didn't take him seriously, so he couldn't help but became furious: "Baga Yelang!"
Saying this, he quickly drew his knife and slashed at Yan Jiu for the second time.
However, Heihachiro still quietly stretched out his katana and blocked a blow between the two people. Ronin's katana still didn't touch Yan Jiu's hair. Ronin couldn't help but get angry: "Noda, I always respect you three points, but It depends on your age. If you keep messing around like this, I will kill you."
Heihachiro stretched out his hand and yawned: "Kawatani, believe it or not, if I didn't intervene, this kid could chop you with one knife. Did you?"
"Kill me?" The ronin known as Kawatani laughed angrily: "Just such a sissy man?"
Heihachiro ignored Kawatani and looked at Yan Jiu: "Killing people at will will be very troublesome."
"But he seems to be able to kill me." Yan Jiu looked at Heihachirou and said quietly.
"That's because Kawatani doesn't care about the trouble caused by killing." Heihachiro looked at Yan Jiudao.
"I can't stand it anymore!" Kawatani was ignored by Heihachiro and Yanjiu one after another. The anger in his heart was already filled in his chest. He couldn't help but hold the knife with both hands and cut off Yanjiu's head with all his strength.
This time Heihachiro didn't stop him.
Yan Jiu still quietly and slowly drew out the knife.
Yan Jiu's sword was so slow that many people couldn't understand his slow sword.
Of course Kawatani didn't understand either.
He just felt that this hateful man who looked down on him was finally going to die.
But Yan Jiu's sword was only half drawn out.
Then it was reinserted into the sheath.
"Is this okay?" Yan Jiu looked at Heihachiro and said.
Heihachiro nodded: "What a fast sword."
"It's not fast enough." Yan Jiu shook his head and said.
In front of him, the previously arrogant Ronin Kawatani had fallen straight backwards.
There is a high raised red mark on his forehead.
If it were before, this would have been an extremely powerful sword, fast enough to cut others in half.
But now, it's just a cold sap.
Yan Jiu slashed with the back of his sword.
"How is this possible?"
"Kawagu was defeated like this?"
"Did you see the sword clearly?"
"I don't think Yan Jiu used the sword at all." The
ronin around who were watching the fun and not taking it too seriously were talking about it. I didn’t feel sad about Kawatani’s collapse.
There are no friends here, just wolves living in groups.
Yan Jiu ignored everyone and walked straight towards the man who led them here.
Yan Jiu remembered that this man was from Wang Zhi.
"What's your name?" Yan Jiu looked at him and said.
"What a fast knife. Who is your master?" The man looked at Yan Jiu and said with some admiration.
Originally, he looked down on these ronin, because these ronin were just pawns used by Wang Zhi to play games with the imperial court.
But the appearance of Yan Jiu made him a little concerned.
"What's your name?" Yan Jiu repeated his question.
