Chapter 159 Conspiracy? The crisis of the Chiba family!
How are Maki and the children doing? Kazuyo Sorayama took out his wine bottle and drank it all in one gulp. It was only a few months, but it felt like several lifetimes apart. No matter how hard he struggled, he might never return to his original world.
Both his first woman and his second woman suffered the pain of exile, with his wife and children as sustenance, but Mitsuko...recalling this girl who was unforgettable to him, Kazuyo Sorayama's heart tightened, and with his cultivation
I actually had a faint feeling of difficulty breathing.
He actually admires Chiba Sana, but he doesn't have any thoughts about men and women. He doesn't like men and women very much. He just thinks about it from a swordsman's point of view. He thinks that this girl's swordsmanship talent is rare and her body is rare.
It's really a pity to be a woman.
Not only Chiba Sana, but even the emperor's princess, he would refuse without hesitation. He didn't want to marry without feelings. Once feelings developed, he would be heartbroken when he had to forcefully separate, so he had already made an oath in his heart.
In this life, I will no longer consider anything about men and women, and concentrate on the art of swordsmanship, hoping to one day break through the shackles of the so-called system.
The Chiba family's efforts are destined to be in vain.
Beichen Ittoryu Genbukan. Chiba Sana was sitting quietly in the attic combing her dark and smooth long hair. She proposed to marry Sorayama Kazuha partly to solve the gym crisis, but the other half was better said to have already existed.
desire.
When did this start? Was it the first time they met? She had never thought that the word "amazing" could be used to describe a man, but when he launched his move, it was like a peerless sword.
Even the noon sun can't take away his brilliance... That man looks lazy and cold at the same time. Will he be gentle to me after marriage... The shy girl's cheeks are slightly red.
As a woman from the Wu family, she was not qualified to decide her own marriage. Everything was for the honor and survival of the family. If her father and her brothers had not always regarded her as a treasure and allowed herself to make the oath of "not marrying a man who has defeated her"
, at this age, she has already been promised to be a wife of a child of the wealthy martial arts family with a salary of more than 500 denier.
"Miss, the master asked you to go to the reception room in the front hall." A waitress who was even younger than she went upstairs to spread the word. Ah, judging by the time, her brother must be back! Although she was kicked in her heart, the girl returned to her usual calmness.
temperament.
Chiba Shusaku, the founder of Beichen Ittōryu and the current sect master. Although he is already in his fifties and has passed the peak age of a swordsman, he still has a tall and straight figure like a strong man, with a neatly trimmed gray beard and a meticulous bun.
, all show the extremely stern and rigorous character of this swordsman.
He stared at the eldest son Eitaro Chiba with the unique gaze of a swordsman, as if he wanted to take in every subtle change in the opponent's expression seriously. This seriousness is not just based on his character, but on observing his opponent and responding immediately.
The sharp gaze when making moves is like a swordsman's instinct that is engraved in every second of his daily life. Even if he has no chance to talk with the sword, Chiba Shusaku's eyes are still so intimidating.
"That's it, father. Kazuyo Sorayama doesn't agree to the marriage, but they promise that they will never publicize the Chiba family's initiative to marry their daughter."
"Them? Who are they, don't they include Kazuyo Sorayama?" Chiba Shusaku asked expressionlessly. Chiba Eitaro, who knew his father's character, knew that his father was already angry.
Unlike the anger of a common man, who is angry and angry, as a superb swordsman, the more angry he is, the calmer his heart becomes. If Sorayama Kazuha were here, he would definitely find that Chiba Shusaku has exactly the same temperament as his previous self! Maybe only
Only people like them can reach the realm of swordsmanship that is unreachable to ordinary people.
"Yes, father, the ones who made the guarantee are Ohno Fuji, the leader of Sorayama Nen-ryu, and Katsura Kogoro, the former Shinto Mu-nen-ryu who are now disciples of Kazuyo Sorayama. After Kazuyo Sorayama said, 'I swear to serve the sword with all my heart.
, after saying "I don't care about him," he got up and left directly. However... I thought that he was definitely not the kind of person who would add insult to injury."
"Is that so... Sana, did you hear that?" Chiba Shusaku looked at the pale Chiba Sana leaning against the door frame, with a hint of softness on his cold and serious face. "Yes, father, in this case, what should we do?
None of it happened."
All the dreams have come to nothing, and the budding heart is broken into pieces. But for some reason, Chiba Sana does not resent Sorayama Kazuha. She knows that the other person is not a habitual liar, and she also understands that the other person did not express appreciation for her when he looked at her last time.
The mixed feelings between men and women were really just about appreciating my talent in swordsmanship. It turned out to be wishful thinking on my part...
Knowing that what she wanted in her life was destined to be impossible to achieve, the girl felt sad, but she immediately calmed down, knelt down next to her father, and said calmly: "In this case, let's just pretend that nothing happened. But what about the crisis in the gym?
Lifted?"
"It seems that only my father personally asked to see the General to explain..."
"It's useless." The girl interrupted her brother and said with disdain: "If the general was a reasonable person, the shogunate would not be like what it is now."
"Well, it would be great if this assassination was really successful. As long as Kazuyo Sorayama is dead, no one would dare to ignore his father's status..." Eitaro Chiba said with some regret.
"Shut up!" Chiba Shusaku shouted sternly: "We are not ninjas, we are swordsmen! As a swordsman, you must have a pure sword heart. Chiba Eitaro, your cultivation has stagnated precisely because of your
Your heart is not pure enough. If you continue to have this kind of thought, you will definitely fall into evil ways in the future and become a tool to be used by others! I, Beichen Itto-ryu, do not have such a second-generation eye. I order you to shut up and think about your mistakes, and not to go out for three days.
One step, get out!"
Chiba Eitaro looked at his father in disbelief, and bowed to the ground with a look of shame on his face. Not daring to argue, he stood up and saluted again before turning around and leaving.
Chiba Nobuyoshi, who had been silent until now, suddenly said: "Brother, you are too harsh on Eitaro."
"Well, if you agreed to inherit the Xuanwu Hall, I wouldn't do this either." Chiba Shusaku said with some complaint.
As his younger brother, Chiba Sadayoshi, known as "Little Chiba", opened another family's Hokatsu Itto-ryu swordsmanship dojo in Omicho, Edo. This time he came specifically to deal with the crisis in his family.
"Zana, there's no need to be sad. In fact, Kazuha Sorayama is not a good match. Most people who practice swordsmanship to this point are boring, like my brother."
"Dingji!"
"Well, I won't say it anymore, but Zona, if you really want to marry him, there is nothing you can do."
The girl's cold heart instantly rekindled hope, her dark eyes exuded a soul-stirring light, and then she lowered her head shyly and whispered: "Uncle, I am here for the Chiba family, not...that...what can I do?"
"After all, the girl didn't have enough cultivation, so she couldn't help but ask.
"What do you think of what happened to Katsura Kogoro?" Chiba Nobuyoshi said with a smile in his eyes.
That's right! Katsura Kogoro originally practiced swordsmanship in the Shinto Muken-ryu, but now he has not only become Sorayama Kazuyo's disciple, but also his close confidant. He has even been responsible for most of the external receptions these days. It can be seen that
It is as profound as a leaf in the empty mountain.
He can do it, so why can't he?
Chiba Sana said to himself: "Tomorrow I will personally go to the Sorayama Dojo to explain the matter, and then take the opportunity to challenge. If I lose, I will directly become his teacher and stay in the dojo. Not only can I convey to the outside world that I, Chiba
The reconciliation of the family can take the opportunity to get closer... Ah, father, in fact, I mainly..."
"But as an unmarried woman, if you stay alone with your teacher in your prime, it is inevitable that rumors will spread, which will not only damage your reputation, but even the world will think that I, Beichen Ittoryu, are cowardly..." Chiba Nobuyoshi thought about his love for a while, and then
I feel something is wrong.
"Okay, I understand, follow your decision, Zonai. But no matter what, after the incident calms down for a while, I will definitely compete with him, the sword master. As a swordsman, you must use a sword.
Let’s solve it!”
Chiba Shusaku waved his hand, and a heroic aura burst out. This is the aura of a swordsman who is victorious in every battle and has absolute confidence in himself: "My Chiba family, starting from my grandfather Chiba Yoshinoshima Nagasaki
Even the swordsmanship giant, now it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the first swordsmanship family in Japan, this small crisis cannot defeat the Chiba family."
"Well, maybe that's why our Chiba family is in such crisis. I always feel that this matter is not as simple as it seems..." Chiba Nobuyoshi said worriedly.
