When the two played chess, Li Yuan did not disappoint Tajima Shou. His chess skills were indeed good, but after all, he was young and still a child. He was not as sophisticated as Tajima Shou. In comparison, Tajima Shou was still more skilled.
Even though Li Yuan lost, Ma Shou was quite satisfied. It was not easy for him to win against Li Yuan. The hard-won victory made him feel satisfied, so he pulled Li Yuan to play again.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves was heard outside the house. Not long ago, a servant came in and shouted: "Here comes a plate of beef with soy sauce, four large white steamed buns, and a pot of shochu. Hurry up, I still have official business to do."
Li Yuan was just about to move when he heard a familiar voice. He turned around and looked, but it didn't matter. This sight scared him out of his wits. His hand trembled, and the chess piece slipped and fell on the table with a "clack".
This official's surname was Zhao, and he was the chief catcher in Suning County. He was the one who led people to arrest Li Shuan. Therefore, Li Yuan knew him, and he also knew Li Yuan.
Fortunately, Li Yuan was sitting with his back to Capt. Zhao, so Capt. Zhao didn't see him. Li Yuan's heart was pounding, and Qian Dayou was also afraid. Although he didn't know Capt. Zhao, he was afraid of anything that was official business.
Qian Dayou said softly to Li Yuan: "Yuanzi, let's go."
Li Yuan whispered: "You can't leave, it will be over if you move."
But Ma Shou was very shrewd and saw that something was going on, but he didn't ask and continued to play chess as if nothing happened.
Capt. Zhao wanted to play a game of chess. When he saw that there was a chess game at the table by the window, he got up and walked over to it, standing aside to watch.
Li Yuan lowered his head, fearing to be recognized by Capt. Zhao, so he grabbed a horse and jumped randomly. Capt. Zhao laughed and said: "What kind of chess is this? The horse is still pinned to its legs, so you can jump over it."
Really? It’s so boring to be blind." He said and walked away.
Capt. Zhao returned to his seat, looked at the backs of the two children, and suddenly remembered a murder case that happened in Suning a few days ago. The perpetrator of the case was Diao Xiaobao.
He thought to himself: "Could these two children be the fugitive murderers Li Yuan and Qian Dayou? Judging by their age, I know Li Yuan. If they are really him, they will never be able to escape my piercing eyes."
He didn't see the faces of the two children clearly, so he walked over to take a look again. Li Yuan lowered his head, so he bent down to take a look. At this glance, he recognized them and said with a smile: "Haha, two little bastards, no."
I thought I'd meet the uncle here, and your lawsuit has been committed. Let's go to the case with the uncle to litigate." He then stepped forward and grabbed Li Yuan.
Li Yuan shouted: "Da You, run quickly."
Qian Dayou ran away, and Capt. Zhao picked up Li Yuan and chased after him. Qian Dayou couldn't run as fast as Capt. Zhao, and he was caught up by Capt. Zhao after a while.
Capt. Zhao grabbed Qian Dayou's back and said with a smile: "Little bastard, where are you going?"
At this moment, only one person was heard saying: "Let them go."
Zhao turned around and saw Tajima Mamoru. He didn't know Tajima Mamoru, but he just thought that this man was carrying a Japanese sword, which was very unusual.
Capt. Zhao asked: "Who are you?"
But Ma Shou said: "Who I am has nothing to do with you. I asked you to let these two children go."
Capt. Zhao said: "They are murderers wanted by the court. Do you have to protect them?"
Dan Ma Shoudao: "You are right, I just want to protect them."
Capt. Zhao told Qian Dayou: "Get down, don't get up without my order, or I'll beat you to death."
Qian Dayou was lying on the ground.
Capt. Zhao took Li Yuan off his shoulders again and said, "Get down here too. If you dare to move, I will beat you to death."
Li Yuan also lay on the ground.
Capt. Zhao took out an iron ruler from his arms, which is a weapon commonly used by people in public affairs. He said to Tajima Shou: "Since you want to protect them, I will not be polite to you." He walked up quickly.
He used an iron ruler to hit Tajima Mamoru on the head.
But Ma Shou pulled out the long boat and waved it, and then returned the long boat to its sheath. Zhao Captou looked at the iron ruler in his palm and saw that it had been cut into two pieces. The opponent's sword was too fast, and he couldn't cut off the iron ruler no matter how hard it was.
He could see clearly that if the other party wanted his life, he would already have his head on the ground at this moment.
Zhao Captou was so frightened that he wiped his head and ran away.
Qian Dayou stood up and said happily: "Uncle Yagyu, you are so awesome."
But Ma Shou said: "Why did the official arrest you two?"
Qian Dayou told what happened in the past, but Ma Shou said with a smile: "I don't see that you two little guys are quite brave. That guy named Diao deserves to die. If you did well, you should kill him."
Qian Dayou said: "Uncle Yagyu, can you teach us martial arts? If we have such good skills as you, we will no longer be afraid of tolerance."
But Ma Shoudao said: "It's not easy to be my apprentice. It requires a lot of hardship. Are you two afraid of hardship?"
Qian Dayou said: "I'm not afraid. As long as I can learn martial arts from Uncle Liu Sheng, I won't be afraid of any hardships."
Li Yuan said: "I'm not afraid either."
Dan Ma Shoudao: "I will not accept you as my disciple immediately. I will examine you for three years. If you satisfy me, I will officially accept you as my disciple."
Qian Dayou said: "Okay, Uncle Yagyu, just three years, we will definitely satisfy you."
Dan Ma Shoudao: "Don't call me Uncle Yagyu anymore, just call me Teacher Yagyu, but don't call me master, because I am not your master yet."
Qian Dayou smiled and said, "Okay, Teacher Yagyu."
But Ma Shou held Li Yuan with his left hand and Qian Dayou with his right hand, and said, "Let's go."
Qian Dayou said: "Where are we going? To Japan?"
But Ma Shoudao said: "If we don't go back to Japan now, let's go to Dengzhou."
Qian Dayou said: "What are you going to do there?"
Dan Ma Shoudao: "Go find someone to compete with."
Qian Dayou asked: "What's that person's name?"
Dan Ma Shoudao: "Mou Ying."
Qian Dayou asked: "Is his martial arts powerful?"
Dan Ma Shoudao: "It's very powerful."
Qian Dayou said: "Can you beat him?"
Dan Ma Shoudao: "I don't know."
Qian Dayou said: "You don't even know if you can beat him, so why do you want to compete with him?"
Dan Ma Shoudao: "It is precisely because I don't know that I seek a result."
Qian Dayou asked: "Is it dangerous to compete in martial arts?"
But Ma Shoudao said: "The sword has no eyes, and danger is inevitable."
Qian Dayou thought to himself: "Isn't this what you need to eat if you are full? How can you compete in martial arts when you have nothing to do? It is not worth it if you die." He said: "Can we not go?"
Dan Ma Shoudao: "No."
Qian Dayou thought: "God bless, Teacher Yagyu must win, otherwise we will have no hope."
A few days later, Dan Ma Shou and his two children came to Mouping County, Dengzhou, Shandong Province. They asked passers-by and found Mou Ying's house. When they came to the door of Mou Ying's house, they saw that this was not a high-level compound, but a
Small courtyard.
But Ma Shou thought to himself: "Is this the house of the magic sword general Mou Ying? The Mou family belongs to the Jinyiwei family, how come they live in such a small house? Did they find the wrong house?"
You have to ask to find out whether you found the right one. But Ma Shou asked Qian Dayou to come and pick at the door. Not long ago, a ** year old boy opened the door and asked: "Who are you looking for?"
Qian Dayou said: "Is Mou Ying here?"
The child said: "You are looking for my father, please come in."
