Although Japan is now in a troubled time, and there is no peace everywhere, it also indirectly gives birth to a lot of job opportunities, especially for the samurai. Now the situation is not clear, and the style of each vassal is changing. They are recruiting and buying troops, and actively saving capital to watch the follow-up. Compared with the abolition of the sword order after the Meiji Restoration, the samurai not only lost their jobs, but also could not even find a tool for suicide The time is so good.
In particular, those experts are now waiting for a price. Whether they are the assistant or the reverse, they are now actively fighting for manpower.
However, Zhang Heng is not interested in this road. Once he joined a certain force, he no longer had to worry about food and clothing, but he also lost his freedom. In this era, it's important to pay attention to the absolute obedience of family officials to their owners. If he is assigned a task he doesn't want to do, he can't refuse it. If he wants to do it, he will be used as cannon fodder.
The purpose of Zhang Heng's copy this time is not only to get a good sword suitable for him, but also to challenge the masters and seek a breakthrough opportunity for his sword skills. So whether the shogunate or the Samoan, he doesn't want to fix his position on which side. Acting on the occasion is the best choice.
In fact, he doesn't have to rely on his Samurai status to make money. There are many foreign businessmen in Kyoto now. Compared with other people, Zhang Heng has mastered many foreign languages. No matter what age, translators are always scarce. He can get paid by doing translation for those foreign businessmen. By the way, he can visit Kyoto for free.
After making up his mind, Zhang Heng is ready to go to the wharf first to have a look. Now it's getting late. If he can't get a deal before sunset, he'll probably sleep out on the street.
Zhang Heng is about to leave, but suddenly he hears a voice calling,
"would you like to have a roast eel kebab, my lord?"
Zhang Heng looked down and saw a timid little face. It was a little girl about 11 or 12 years old, holding a food box and selling it to Zhang Heng. Although she plucked up her courage, she also looked nervous. Her hand holding the food box was shaking all the time.
But Zhang Heng did not reply, on the other hand, one of her older companions took her away.
Although the latter lowered her voice, Zhang Heng still heard her words, "Qiandai, don't provoke those ronins, they are dangerous guys."
The little girl named Qiandai takes another look at Zhang Heng. As a result, they retreat to avoid Zhang Heng, a "dangerous person", but accidentally bump into someone on the other side.
Chihiro's companion raised his head, his face turned white and stammered, "yes Sorry, I didn't see you
"Impolite kid," the person who was attacked was also dressed as a warrior, but his appearance was better than that of Zhang Heng. He had two companions around him, and his face was a bit drunk. It seemed that he had just drunk flower wine. With the strength of alcohol, he directly overturned the food boxes in the hands of the girls and yelled, "this country is just over." It's because of you idiots that you keep letting the Westerners bully you! "
"Brother Yamada, be careful, just be heard by those guys in the new group." His companions advised.
"What are you afraid of? Matsumoto, the times are different, "but Yamada's warrior is not afraid," what's more, I've long wanted to understand the natural flow of Kondo's mind. "
Yamada said in a loud voice, but his two companions were shocked when they heard the words "new election group". They couldn't help looking left and right. After Ikeda house incident, Kondo and his ronin group, new election group, became famous and won the name of Rensheng wolf. They are the staunch supporters of the shogunate, helping the shogunate to maintain public order in Kyoto and dealing with the downcast Shi, who is ruthless and good at assassinating, turns pale when people see the flag.
Songwei didn't know why Yamada suddenly mentioned these evil stars. He winked at Takahashi on the other side, as if complaining about why Takahashi had just given Yamada so much wine.
They wanted to take advantage of the fact that there was no big trouble, but they didn't expect that Yamada was becoming more and more crazy. Not to mention the foreigners, they were OK. When they mentioned the foreigners, he thought of the anger he had received over the years and pulled out his sword.
This time, Songwei and Takahashi are afraid to go forward. Yamada is crazy, but his martial arts are not bad. Not only he is the leader of the three, but they are also well-known in the samurai circle. Both Songwei and Takahashi don't want to touch the mold.
At this time, the two little girls who sold kebabs were already scared.
He even forgot to run away, so he stood still and watched Yamada draw out his long knife, which was shining in the sun.
Yamada's brow was horizontal. He just wanted to draw out his knife to frighten the two kids in front of him and watch them piss off. However, the motionless appearance of each other is now regarded as a silent struggle by him. In addition, he can't help recalling some bad memories because he is still drunk.
He had reason to resent. As a samurai of the chieftain, three years ago, he followed the radical shogunate Junichiro kusaka to the capital. At that time, he was in high spirits. However, the change of the forbidden gate failed to win the garrison in Kyoto, so Junichiro kusaka committed suicide. Later, the shogunate joined forces with Britain, the United States, France, and the Netherlands to attack the key points, forcing the Chieftain to yield, and Kao Shan jinzuo, one of the leaders of the Mukden faction, was forced to wander These warriors who took part in the change of forbidden gate had nothing to eat.Therefore, Yamada's Sabre drawing is not only drunk, but also resentful for his ambition. Seeing the two kids in front of him, he would not dodge, and he was still "fighting hard". He could not help but get angry from his heart. He was evil to the edge of his courage, so he would really cut down with his sabre.
Zhang Heng frowned. He had nothing to do with the two little girls selling roast eel strings, and he was not interested in improving the public security in Kyoto at the end of the curtain. However, he insisted that the other party was killed just to avoid him, the "villain", and Zhang Heng was not very good either. He watched as they were really hacked to death by a drunken warrior.
However, as soon as he was ready to draw the sword, his eyes moved, but he put down his hand again. On the other side of the mountain, he had already raised his sword in the scream of passers-by. However, when his sword was about to fall on the head of Qiandai and her companion, it was held up by a wooden knife.
"Who's coming?" Yamada yelled, puffed and glared. At the same time, his chest was still undulating violently.
"Xiaoshandaochang, xiaoshanxi." The bearer replied in a clear voice.
To the surprise of passers-by, it was a young woman holding a wooden knife in one hand and a tuna just bought in the market in the other.
