Weng himself was quite unfavorable about the shogunate's decision. Fortunately, today's task was only to convey the shogunate's goodwill, not to persuade.
He bowed respectfully to Sorayama Kazuha and Hiko Seijuro, then turned to Chiba Sana and said gently: "Is this Miss Sana? I once watched your father Shusaku-sama from a distance in Edo, and I admired your majesty very much.
I wish I could join the Xuanwu Temple and become your father's disciple, but I was just an ordinary little ninja at the time, and I have never been able to do so. I also feel very sorry for the unreasonable disasters suffered by the Chiba family, but the politics of the big shots are always so confusing.
No idea. The Chiba family is loyal to the shogunate after all, and many famous swordsmen from Xuanbu Temple are also the mainstay of the shogunate..."
"If you have anything to say, just say it." Sorayama Kazuyo rudely interrupted Weng's lyricism,
Weng opened his mouth in embarrassment, and then asked seriously: "Miss Chiba, what is the purpose of your appearance here?" Chiba Sana first glanced at Sorayama Kazuyo affectionately, and then revealed the Chiba family's martial arts.
He said in a dignified yet calm manner: "Kong Shan is now my husband."
Everyone couldn't help but be shocked. What is going on?
"When?! We at Yutingban received clear information. Miss Chiba, you should have just gone up the mountain last night. Apart from being in Edo, you have never interacted with Lord Sorayama before. How, how could it be... No?"
It's possible..." Weng was a little incoherent.
Higu Seijuro also had a big mouth, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Kazuyo Sorayama: "It was last night! You were drinking with me just a moment ago! Sorayama, this time I really admire you! You
As expected, everything you do can be done quickly, faster than drawing a sword!"
Kazuyo Sorayama rolled his eyes and decided not to argue with Hiko, a virgin.
And Kiriko, who had arrived outside the door at some unknown time, was shaky at this moment and could barely hold on. His state was not much different from Chiba Sana's state just now. It was just that one was extremely happy and the other was extremely sad. But who among the people present
He will pay attention to her who has always had no sense of existence, and he can only eavesdrop outside the door. Kenshin, who has a clear mind, quietly holds Kiriko's hand and shakes it gently. His young body has begun to show a kind of comfort that can make people feel at ease.
Aura.
He didn't know what exactly happened and how much of a blow it had to this silent young lady, but he could keenly sense the thick deathly aura emanating from the fog from the inside out, as if it would turn into ashes and be blown away by the mountain wind in the next second.
Generally blown away.
I only heard Chiba Sana continue to say: "I am no longer a member of the Chiba family. A few years ago, I gave the farewell letter of my decision to leave the Chiba family to the then head of the family, Uncle Chiba Nobuyoshi, and I have not replied since then.
I have been to the Chiba family and have been wandering around Japan. I think with the power of the imperial ban, I can easily find out whether I am lying. Therefore, anything I do has nothing to do with the Chiba family. Also, in the future, please call me
I, Sorayama Sana, please."
Do you want to distance yourself from the relationship with the Chiba family? Weng thought to himself. It's not that simple! But... thinking about the level of fear of Sorayama Kazuha and the weakness of all the senior officials in the shogunate towards Sorayama Kazuha and their eagerness to seek peace, except for the eldest brother Ii Naoki, I probably wouldn't.
What will they do to the powerful Chiba family? After all, the former "Japan's No. 1 Swordsman" Chiba Shusaku is still alive and well!
Chiba Nobuyoshi, who is known as "Little Chiba", is not easy to mess with. What's more, there are countless swordsmen from Beichen Itto Ryu. If the Chiba family and the shogunate are forced to openly turn against each other, it will definitely be a bigger blow to the shogunate than Sorayama Kazuha.
Countless times more, this is the foundation of a wealthy kendo family! According to Weng's judgment, as long as the Chiba family does not publicize the matter of marrying a daughter in a big way, it may not be possible in the end.
The shogunate was exhausted from dealing with the aggressive Americans. At this time, Edo really could not withstand another major turmoil!
Weng then thought about it and realized that this incident was not a bad thing for the shogunate. Kazuyo Sorayama had a wife and family as a bond, which was much better than being unscrupulous and unscrupulous when he was alone!
In order to appease the anger of the shogunate, the Chiba family had to give up some interests that had been cared about by those big bosses for a long time. Or, if the shogunate took the initiative to marry one of the next generation of the Chiba family, would it be able to completely improve the relationship with the person in front of them?
What about the relationship between the sword master?
Thinking of all this in an instant, Weng showed a loyal smile similar to that of any restaurant owner, bowed slightly and said: "Congratulations to Master Sword Master, congratulations to Miss Chiba, no, Mrs. Kongshan, please stay and report the news of your marriage."
After the shogunate, there must be heavy gifts. It is a great joy for the world's best swordsman to marry the best swordsman in Japan! The shogunate will definitely convey its goodwill again, and I will come to bother you again in the near future. Please invite Sorayama-sama and Hiko.
Sect Master, please forgive me for being rude, so I won’t bother you anymore and I’ll take my leave now.”
Seeing that no one was paying attention, Weng didn't care. He said goodbye to everyone in a very happy mood and hurried down the mountain.
Bigu carelessly patted the wine jar open, carefully poured it into the wine bottle he carried with him, and joked: "Congratulations, but you are such a jealous guy. Obviously you and I have similar martial arts skills, and our looks are not that different from yours."
There are many, why do you have people who serve you wholeheartedly wherever you go, and are accompanied by fine wines and beautiful women, while I only have a stupid apprentice who has to work hard, how unfair is God!"
Chiba Sana couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile. As smart as she was, although she didn't know the identity of Seijuro Hiko, she also understood that this man must be a very good friend of Sorayama Kazuha, especially when Hiko said that the two had similar martial arts skills, Sorayama
When there was no rebuttal, a heart of respect suddenly arose. A strong person will be respected no matter who he is, no matter where he is. On this occasion, according to the etiquette, she has no place to speak. In fact, as a wife, she should prepare tea and snacks at this time.
Her husband's friend, but this was his territory... She had no choice but to sit quietly aside, waiting for Kazuyo Sorayama to speak.
Kazuyo Sorayama ignored Hiko's words and introduced solemnly: "This is Hiko Seijuro, the thirteenth generation leader of the Hiten Sword Style. Although there is only one person in their school... Oh no, there are two people now. Stand.
The name of the child at the door is Himura Kenshin, and she is his apprentice." He pointed to Sana again, "She is Chiba Sana, the daughter of Chiba Shusaku, the former Beichen Ittōryu, and she is now my wife."
Finally, he waved to Wuzi, "Her name is Wuzi, she is... um... she can be regarded as my anonymous disciple, thanks to her care in the past few years."
Hearing Kazuyo Sorayama call her name, Kiriko seemed to finally come back to her senses. At this time, she only had Kazuyo Sorayama in her eyes. Under the surprised eyes of others, she walked step by step in front of Kazuyo Sorayama, thin and tall.
He held Kazuyo Sora's sleeves with his hand, his throat moved, he opened his mouth with great difficulty, and said in a rather strange but sad tone: "Sora, Sorayama, don't, don't leave me, Sorayama, don't leave me.
!”
The girl who had never spoken a word since she was five years old finally spoke after seven years.
