Chapter 203 202. Yuzi and Xiao

"Do you understand his idea of ​​cracking [Dengli]?"

The old woman on the eaves jumped lightly and landed on the ground very lightly, just like a cat jumping down the steps.

People can't help but wonder whether her seventy-year-old appearance is her true age.

Inosuke pursed his lips and was speechless.

He was completely pushed to the limit by Lan En's momentum and agility just now, and his mind was completely confused. He could barely observe, let alone think.

Fighting with that guy is so oppressive!

Unlike his distant descendants, Nogami Gensai has always paid close attention to Lan En off the court from beginning to end.

"From what I can see below, his method of dealing with [Deng Carp] seems very similar to [Cut with one word]."

[Wei Mingliu·One-Sided Cut] is different from moves like [Climbing the Carp] and [Down the Carp], which are required to be practiced as body instincts, and is closer to the concept of swordsmanship tricks in ordinary people's eyes.

It is an action of performing a powerful downward slash by stepping forward and stepping forward.

In addition to its aggressiveness, [One-Sided Slash] also has the function of stabilizing its posture after it is performed due to the huge movements in this process.

This is information that only [Wei Mingren] practitioners who are qualified to practice this move know.

As for the outsider just now, all it took for him to think of this was a discussion that lasted less than two minutes.

In the courtyard, the atmosphere became silent for a moment.

Everyone present has practiced [Ashina-ryu] to some extent, because [Sword Master] Ashina Isshin is not a self-conscious guy.

He handed over his swordsmanship to his Wei Mingzong without reservation as a training method for them.

Therefore, everyone present could also understand how outrageous Lan En's performance just now was.

After a long time, an old female voice broke the silence in the courtyard.

"Ha!" The old woman named [Butterfly] chuckled.

"If we let that old guy Isshin get wind of it, he will probably happily come to Pingtian Manor to watch the fun. An outsider cracked [Dengli] in a competition, hehe."

After teasing his old friend, Butterfly's voice returned to its less volatile state.

"Have you been informed of his origins, Inosuke?"

"The report has been reported, but, but his original words were 'a man from the Ming Dynasty, who learned his skills from the Southern Barbarians and entered Ashina because he got lost'."

Inosuke said hesitantly.

And the result of the scene was exactly as he thought, falling into an awkward silence.

People from the Ming Dynasty, Southern Barbarians, got lost in Japan and entered Ashina. No matter how you think about it, there are too many flaws.

So much so that Gensai Nogami, who was originally very suspicious of Lan En, now opened and closed his mouth. After repeating it several times, he asked Madam Butterfly an awkward question.

"Um, Lord Butterfly, I'm not a ninja, and I don't know much about the ways here. But this sounds like it."

Nogami Gensai did not express his conclusion, but his expression when talking about Lan En had changed to 'this guy is so weird' instead of 'this guy must be a spy'.

Madam Butterfly's expression was similar to his. But maybe the ninja was well-informed after all, so her expression recovered quickly.

"The specific duties and grade evaluation will be postponed later. Aren't we going to kill a live chicken to reward the ronin tonight? We will announce it then."

The figure of the old woman suddenly became a little illusory, as if a physical person suddenly turned into a projection, and the trend of virtualization continued to increase.

"I will inform the young master of the situation. All matters will be subject to the young master's decision. Above."

As soon as the words fell, the old woman's figure became almost transparent, and finally disintegrated into a plume of smoke and disappeared without a trace.

——

In the deepest mansion of Hirata Manor.

The style of the courtyard here is completely different from the outside. The ground is no longer a green earth, but paved with white pebbles.

Small pond, rockery, white courtyard walls and black roof tiles, this is what the inner courtyard of a wealthy landlord looks like.

Dry landscape, the ancient Japanese courtyard style emphasizes sadness and silence.

In the mansion, Madam Butterfly was kneeling on a cushion and making a report to a child in the room.

The child looks to be over ten years old. Under his short black and white hair, his eyes are deep and calm, and he has a sense of stability that is not for his age.

And I don't know if it's because of his young age, but his face is handsome to a boy, but also pretty to a girl.

He is now sitting upright in the main seat, looking very cute as he tries to maintain his dignity.

"Really? A strong man whose origin is so strange that it is difficult to verify."

"Yes, Lord Kuro. Regarding his earliest records, I have only traced a few villagers and the oral confession of an Ashigaru named 'Kotaro'. When he first appeared, he was already drawing water from the Ryūsen River.

It’s over.”

Madam Butterfly is now holding a small cigarette stick in her hand, puffing away smoke while reporting her investigation results.

The child called [Miko] lowered his head and murmured in thought.

"It's like it fell from the sky."

"So." On the other side of the room, an unimaginably tall old man opened his mouth under his thick beard.

"Butterfly, do you think he has received ninja training?"

Even though this old man was sitting cross-legged on the ground, he seemed to be at least two and four meters tall. It was hard to imagine that in ancient Japan, there would be people who were not inferior to Gregor Clegane in stature.

His beard and hair are thick, and even the thick white hair is braided into a knot at the back, and is about the same thickness as an average woman's waist.

Madame Butterfly calmly tapped the smoke pot, "Not at all. Although I don't know how the 'ninjas' from the Ming Kingdom and Nanman are trained, he has not even practiced the basic light body technique. I can be sure.

"

Ninjas can fly over walls and walls, and can even use moves in the air without any force, and can tell the difference between life and death in the blink of an eye.

Without such a light body, one would not be qualified to detect intelligence or assassinate enemies anywhere.

The burly old man nodded, as if his interest in this outsider ended there.

"I have no problem. If you are just a powerful samurai, even if you have evil intentions, the damage caused will not be great. This matter is entirely decided by Miko-sama."

Yuzi, who was sitting in the main seat, nodded when he heard this.

"Since Mr. Xiao feels that he is not a threat, let's keep him here. Considering his rich experience, he only came to join the Hirata family after seeing the situation clearly."

Inner Palace and Ashina.

The inner government has basically unified the world, and they will never show mercy or tolerate the only remaining Ashina.

For a person who has such a strange experience but cannot prove it for himself, even if he goes to the inner palace, the other party will not let him leave safely.

There is no room for mistakes in the process of unifying the world, and the strength of the inner government also ensures that they will not regret losing a powerful fighting force.

Even if they want to infiltrate Ashina, they will prefer the bandits who know the basics rather than the unknown outsiders.

When the war breaks out between the inner government and Ashina, those who are not subordinate to both sides will only be crushed.
