"Could it be that the underworld has entered the village?"
Watching luxury cars drive into the village, the nearby villagers were frightened and hid aside, watching carefully.
However, what was somewhat different from the villagers' imagination was that after the luxury car stopped, the people who got out of it did not look like a gangster at all.
Most of these people wore loose kimonos and wooden clogs, very formally, as if they were celebrating a festival.
"Who are they?"
The villagers thought silently.
…
Miyamoto Kendo Hall.
Miyamotoemon, dressed in samurai uniform, was sitting on his knees under the eaves, looking at the disciples who were training in the yard, with a meticulous look on his face.
"You, your arms are too weak, haven't you had breakfast?"
"Ojiro, where are your legs? Did your mother-in-law squeeze them dry last night?"
"And you, Power, where's your power?"
As a famous kendo master in Japan, Miyamoto Emon is a person who pursues perfection. He is not only strict with himself, but also very strict with his disciples.
It is said that a strict master produces great disciples, and his disciples are also very up to date. Their swordsmanship is generally very high, and they are much better than the disciples of other swordsmanship halls.
Therefore, many aristocratic families are happy to send their children to Miyamoto to learn swordsmanship.
"Master Miyamoto, there is someone outside asking to see you!"
Just when Miyamoto Emon was supervising the training of his disciples, a security guard wearing security uniform ran in and said respectfully.
"Do you know who it is?"
Miyamotoemon frowned slightly. When he was supervising his disciples' practice, he strictly prohibited anyone from disturbing him. The security guard knew this.
But he still came, which shows that the coming person is very important.
"The head of the Yagyu family, the Kage of the Koga Ninja clan, the Kage of the Ninja clan in Kii, as well as the heads of other kendo families and the Kage of the Ninja clan are here!"
The security guard quickly and respectfully replied.
"They are all here?"
Miyamoto Emon was taken aback and immediately shouted: "Sasaki, you will lead everyone to continue training, I will go and take a look!"
"is teacher!"
…
After the explanation, Miyamotoemon hurried to the reception hall and met a group of big shots.
"Master Miyamoto, long time no see!"
When they saw the person coming, everyone stood up and said hello with a smile.
"Everyone, please take a seat!"
Miyamotoemon sat down at the host's seat, motioned to the nanny to bring hot tea, and then asked: "Everyone, if you have nothing to do, come to the Three Treasures Hall. Why are you here together today?"
"Master Miyamoto, you must have heard about what just happened, right?"
The head of the Yagyu family, Madan Yagyu, got straight to the point and said directly.
Miyamotoemon was slightly startled and asked suspiciously: "What happened?"
Then he seemed to see the surprise on everyone's faces, and he added: "Today is a working day, and my library is closed to the outside world, so no matter what happens outside, I don't know!"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Looking at the whole of Japan, only Miyamotoemon can do such a thing. If you say you are teaching disciples, just teach disciples. Why should you be closed off?
"Miyamoto, this is what happened..."
Yagyu Matan was also unambiguous and immediately told what happened in the morning. Miyamotoemon was shocked and angry when he heard it, and he got up in anger.
"Baga! How dare you, such arrogant Chinese people, act so wantonly and treat us like no one in the Japanese martial arts world?"
"Miyamoto, it's not just you who is angry. Who among us in the martial arts, business, and political circles is not filled with righteous indignation?"
Yagyu Madan said slowly: "The cabinet has just issued an instruction, asking us in the martial arts world to take full action and make sure to keep this thief!"
"Even the cabinet was alarmed?"
Miyamotoemon was surprised, and then nodded suddenly. The Mitsui family was the controlling family of the six major financial groups. The destruction of this family would be too involved.
If the cabinet does nothing, how can other interest groups agree?
Moreover, the murderer was Ying Yue, the number one grandmaster in China and the peerless grandmaster who ranked first on the Pojun Ranking.
How can such a person be looked down upon?
Everyone nodded in unison.
"Since you have come together, you must have already made some plans. I wonder what you are going to do?"
Miyamotoemon asked directly.
"We have discussed this, first be polite before fighting, first be clear before being covert!"
Koga Rukawa, the Shadow of the Koga Ninja Sect, said coldly.
Koga Rukawa is a middle-aged man with a sinister complexion. Unlike the Musashi Three Gods, he is very tall and his arms are as long as those of an ape.
This is related to the ninjutsu he practiced. It is said that the Koga Ninja Sect is best at wood escape ninjutsu. He usually lives in the forest and lives like an ape.
Over time, I will train my arms to be very long.
"First be polite before fighting, first be bright and then be dark?"
Miyamotoemon was slightly startled: "How to implement it specifically?"
"Xian Guangming came to challenge him openly and openly, and killed him with absolute strength to defend our reputation in the Japanese martial arts world!"
Koga Rukawa said coldly: "If we can't kill him head-on, we can only resort to assassination, siege, poisoning and other despicable methods. In any case, the cabinet has issued a death order, and this thief cannot be allowed to leave Japan no matter what!"
Miyamotoemon frowned deeply when he heard this. As a samurai, he believed in the spirit of bushido and had his own values.
In a martial arts competition, victory is victory and defeat is defeat.
Victory, the light to win!
Even if you lose, you must lose openly!
If he can't be defeated head-on, he has to use despicable means. This approach makes him feel very uncomfortable.
After a moment of silence, he said: "I am a samurai, and I can only compete with others openly. As for assassination, that is the responsibility of your ninjas."
Koga Rukawa's eyes flashed and he said: "I knew you would say that, Miyamoto, so we decided to divide the work."
"Oh?" Miyamotoemon looked at Koga Rukawa.
Yagyu Madan said: "The task of a head-on challenge is given to our kendo family. If we can defeat Ying Yue, that would be the best.
If we can't do anything, then let their ninja sect do the rest and it has nothing to do with us!"
"As it should be!"
Miyamotoemon nodded heavily and immediately agreed to the decision. Although this was tantamount to leaving a heavy responsibility in the hands of their samurai, Miyamotoemon was happy to be able to put aside assassinations.
"In that case, I leave the matter to you!"
Koga Rukawa and other representatives of the Ninja Sect stood up and said: "We will take our leave now and wait for your good news!"
"I still have something to do, so I won't send it away!"
Miyamotoemon said calmly.
In the blink of an eye, only the heads of the Yagyu family, the Kamiizumi family, and the Tsukahara family were left in the living room.
Anyone who has a little knowledge of the Japanese martial arts world will know that the four major families, the Miyamoto family, the Yagyu family, the Kamiizumi family, and the Tsukahara family, are known as the four major sword master families in Japan.
Because these four families have all produced sword masters.
Tsukahara Buden, Japan's first generation swordsman.
Kamiizumi Nobutsuna, the second generation Japanese swordsman.
Soen Yagyu, the third generation Japanese swordsman.
Miyamoto Musashi, the fourth generation Japanese swordsman.
