At the same time, in the Imperial Palace, Hirohito was pacing back and forth scratching his head.
The story has to start three days ago. Three days ago, Hirohito was practicing calligraphy in the imperial study room. Suddenly, he heard a huge noise coming from the front garden, and Hirohito was so shocked that he threw away his writing brush.
Hearing this huge noise, Hirohito thought something had happened to the Imperial Palace Square. Because Qianyuan outside the Niju Bridge was open to ordinary people, Qianyuan Square, also known as the Imperial Palace, would have a large number of people every day.
There have been mass stampedes in the past when crowds of people gathered together.
At that moment, Hirohito quickly asked the guards to go to Qianyuan Square to check what was going on.
As a result, the guards came back and reported that Shuichi Nakajo, the Nakajo Itto Ryu reported in the Asahi Shimbun, actually set up a ring in the front square and challenged the entire Tokyo kendo community! Hirohito's jaw dropped when he heard this.
, this guy named Nakajo Shuichi is so arrogant that he actually challenged the entire Tokyo Kendo world by himself?
In the next few days, Qianyuan Square was bustling with activity from morning to night, just like going to a market.
Hirohito was also itching and wanted to go to Qianyuan Square incognito to watch the series of battles between Shuichi Nakajo and the kendo masters who came to challenge him. However, he was ruthlessly rejected by the Chief of the Imperial Household Agency because the Chief Cabinet Secretary had just given the Imperial Household
The Imperial Household issued an order asking them to unconditionally prohibit His Majesty the Emperor from leaving the Imperial Palace in the near future.
Therefore, Hirohito was actually quite pitiful. At the critical moment, he did not even have personal freedom.
Just now, another guard came to report that Kondo Yugoro, known as the "Kendo Master", had arrived at the Imperial Palace Square. It seemed that he was about to stage an earth-shattering showdown between Nakajo Shuichi and Hirohito.
I couldn't hold myself back, such a peak showdown is rare, so how could I miss it?
Hirohito's personal kendo skills were not high, but he liked kendo very much.
At that moment, Hirohito said to Abe Tsuchi, the head of the Imperial Household Agency: "Abe-kun, can you be accommodating?"
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid not!" Abetu shook his head and said expressionlessly, "These are extraordinary times. After all, Xu Rui and his six wolves have not been found yet. Who knows if they are hidden among the crowd of onlookers?
?Once His Majesty the Emperor appears in the square, you are likely to be attacked, so no!"
Hirohito said with an apologetic smile: "Abe-kun, there are so many guards around me. In addition, Gao Yu, Gao Shan and several other teachers are secretly protecting me. Even if Xu Rui does come, he cannot threaten my safety."
But Abetu shook his head and said: "Master Gao Yu and the others, although they are highly skilled, cannot withstand bullets! Your Majesty, please don't forget that Xu Rui and his Lang Ya are both sharpshooters!"
All said and done, Abe Suchi just didn't agree with Hirohito leaving the Imperial Palace.
Hirohito became angry and yelled: "Baga, do you want to treat me like a pig and keep me in captivity in the Imperial Palace?"
What he said was heartbreaking. Although Abe Suchi was concerned about Hirohito's safety, he couldn't bear it. Seeing that Hirohito was determined to go out to observe the duel, Abe Suchi had no choice but to call the Prime Minister's residence.
Konoe Fumimaro thought about it again and again and finally agreed, but only allowed Hirohito to watch from Niju Bridge.
Hirohito readily agreed, it would be great to achieve such a result.
At that moment, Hirohito led a group of imperial guards straight to the Niju Bridge.
…
Above the Imperial Palace Square.
Yugoro Kondo is still trying to dissuade and educate Xu Rui.
Kondo Yugoro crossed his arms and said, "Young man, how about we make a bet?"
Xu Rui raised his head slightly, looked at Yugoro Kondo expressionlessly, and said coldly: "How to bet?"
Kondo Yugoro smiled slightly and said: "Let's have a sparring match. I only defend but not attack. If you can knock me to the ground within three moves, just pretend that I didn't say anything and do whatever you want. But
If you can't knock me down within three moves, then in the future you will have to use bamboo swords when competing with others!"
Xu Rui's eyes narrowed and he said in a deep voice: "You mean, you only defend but not attack?"
"Hai." Yugoro Kondo paused slightly and said, "I only defend, not attack."
Xu Rui said coldly: "I accepted this bet. Should we compete now, or should we find another venue another day?"
"It's better to choose a different day than to hit the sun, let's do it now, here." Kondo Yugoro smiled slightly, but his mind recalled the battle between him and Chiba Musashi. In fact, he and Chiba Musashi had fought against each other before.
After being promoted to the 9th Dan of Kendo, the first person that Yoh Musashi challenged was Yugoro Kondo.
However, this duel is not known to outsiders.
In that duel, Chiba Musashi maximized his kendo attacks, but was still unable to break through Kondo Yugoro's airtight defense. In the end, the duel ended in a draw, but Chiba Musashi actually lost, but Kondo
Yugoro did not publicize it to the outside world, and Chiba Musashi would not publicize it.
Yugoro Kondo is very confident in his swordsmanship.
The guy in front of him may have a slightly higher level of swordsmanship than Chiba Musashi, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to kill Chiba Musashi and Chiba Nishijiro, let alone challenge the Beichen Itto style with a single sword.
, his swordsmanship has made significant breakthroughs recently, so it is definitely not a problem to block Nakajo Hide for one or three rounds.
"Yo Xi, let's start." After Xu Rui finished speaking, he stood up from the ground, and then slowly pulled out the sword.
Kondo Yugoro took two steps back and pulled out the sword from his waist, pointing the tip of the sword at Xu Rui.
At this moment, the crowd watching the excitement suddenly became commotion, and then they waved and cheered in the direction behind Xu Rui, as if some big shot had arrived.
Seeing such a scene, Xu Rui's heart suddenly moved.
Good guy, could it be Hirohito's little devil who showed up?
The duel location chosen by Xu Rui is on the north side of the Imperial Palace Square, with the Erzhong Bridge behind it.
When Xu Rui looked back, he saw that the originally empty Erzhong Bridge was indeed filled with guards with hormonal guns and live ammunition, as well as many guards with swords on their waists, and these devils were all surrounded like stars and the moon.
A dwarf, that dwarf was only 1.60 meters tall at most. He was very thin, but his eyes were very sharp.
With just one glance, Xu Rui recognized Hirohito, he was almost the same as in the photo!
Suddenly, Xu Rui's mood became eager. After all the troubles and paying such a high price, he came to Japan just to kill this little devil? Now the little devil was standing in front of him, and they were far away from each other.
He's still less than fifty meters away. Let alone a gun, he can be killed with a throwing knife!
But this must have a prerequisite, that is, no one can hinder it!
However, this was impossible. Hirohito was surrounded by guards and bodyguards, especially the three old men in kimonos. Xu Rui's eyes swept over them and he immediately felt the full aura of the same kind. Obviously,
These three old men in kimono are all masters on the same level as Abe Takashi and Chiba Musashi!
Not only that, Xu Rui also found that the guards around Hirohito were very particular about their positioning. They did not block Hirohito's sight, but they protected Hirohito's surroundings very well, even among the scattered buildings in front of the Imperial Palace Square.
There is a sniper hidden in the middle, and the shooting range will be completely blocked by the guards, making it impossible to lock Hirohito.
In an instant, Xu Rui's heart calmed down, and he completely gave up the idea of killing people violently. At this time, he would not be able to kill Hirohito, but would only take his own life. Even if he activates the bloodthirsty technique, he will be killed.
Even if he enters a state of madness, he may not be able to kill Hirohito.
What's more, after turning on the bloodthirsty technique, he will definitely die. This is in Japan!
He would never do such a loss-making business. Hirohito's security team was professional enough. If he wanted to kill him, it seemed that he needed to formulate a careful and detailed action plan.
At this time, a voice suddenly came from my ears: "Young man, you are distracted."
Without looking back, Xu Rui knew that the person speaking was Yugoro Kondo, the leader of the natural ryshin stream.
At that moment, Xu Rui gave a low shout, and then rushed towards Kondo Yugoro with a brandishing sword. Japanese swordsmanship pursues the goal of killing the opponent before being killed by the opponent, so what is pursued is the most authentic connotation of swordsmanship, evolving to the extreme.
All the so-called tricks have disappeared, leaving only the simplest five movements: chopping, chopping, stabbing, teasing, and peeling!
Xu Rui arrived in front of Yugoro Kondo in one stride, and then stabbed him straight with his knife!
Because the speed of the sword was so fast that human visual exposure could not keep up, Xu Rui's sword actually turned into blurry afterimages of the sword in the field of vision of the crowd! Indistinctly, it could even be seen
Hearing the hissing scream when the sharp blade tears through the air, with just one strike, the secret of stabbing has been brought into full play!
…
Fifty meters away, the hair on Hirohito's body suddenly stood up. His swordsmanship was not very good, but his eyesight was good. He saw the extreme speed of this stab, and said excitedly: "Three teachers, among them
This straight thrust from Jiao Shuichi must be the legendary knowing blow, right?"
One of the old men in kimono said: "It is indeed a knowing blow."
While the two were talking, Xu Rui's knowing blow had already hit Yugoro Kondo.
Then there was a ding sound. At the critical moment of life and death, Kondo Yugoro's sword was just in front of his chest, blocking Xu Rui's straight thrust. The next moment, Xu Rui's sword slid to one side, and Kondo Yugoro also
Taking advantage of the situation, he slid to the right side of Xu Rui, and then opened the distance again.
Hirohito pumped his fist vigorously and said excitedly: "I knew that Mr. Kondo would be able to block it!"
Xu Rui also felt a shiver in his heart. Although it was only a single blow, it was enough for him to obtain a lot of information. Obviously, the Kondo Yugoro in front of him is an extremely terrifying master, and his cultivation level is definitely not inferior to Abe Takayoshi and Chiba Musashi! If not
It will not be easy to deal with him by cheating or without turning on bloodthirsty!
