"I want to go to Kyoto too!"

"I want to make achievements, too!"

"What a pity... As you said just now, I'm so old."

"I was worried about my old body at that time."

"I was afraid of causing trouble for Jujun and the others, so I resisted the urge to 'chasing'."

Speaking of this, he grinned and laughed "hehe" with a self-deprecating laugh.

"I'm sorry for my devotion to swordsmanship for decades, but in the end I didn't achieve anything."

"The only two commendable achievements in my life are the establishment of this test hall in Edo and the natural spiritual flow spread in a small area in the Tama region."

"On the day I watched Ju Jun and the others come to Luo, I couldn't help but think: I might be like this in my life."

"I bask in the sun every day, take a walk, and quietly spend my whole life in the test hall... Although I don't hate this ending, I always feel regretful."

“I was ready to 'dead calmly'.

"I didn't expect... Today, I could have encountered such a battle that is coming in front of me!"

"To be honest, when I learned that the Changzhou army was attacking and Edo was in danger... at that moment, I felt hot all over."

"At that moment, I understood: Although my body was dead, I still didn't want to give up."

"The blood in my body is still hot!"

"Just like this still sharp knife!"

Speaking of this, he suddenly clenched the Two Wang Qingshi in his hand.

"A Bi, the 'this day' I have been looking forward to for a long time has finally arrived."

"If I missed it, I might really have to live my life as a 'retired old man' and never be able to become a 'swordsman' again."

"So...I want to fight! I want to join the war!"

"This is my last battle with Shusuke Kondo!"

"I'll accept it happily whether it's life, death, or any other ending!"

At this moment, anyone can see that the old man exudes an astonishing "life force".

Shocked, panic, worry... one after another, the emotions fluctuated between the pen's cheeks.

As the other party’s family, she naturally didn’t want to see the elderly and took risks.

She opened her mouth instinctively and tried to dissuade her.

But... after listening to the old man's heartfelt words just now and seeing the high-spirited expression that the other party had engraved, she knew better than anyone else: Even if God Amaterasu came down to earth personally, she would not persuade the old man to return.

So she slowly closed her mouth, turned to bite her lips, lowered her head, and couldn't say a word for a long time.

Looking at his wife who was silent for a long time, Kondo Shusuke smiled and changed to a soft expression.

"A Bi, don't show such an expression."

"Although I just said it seemed like I was going to die, it wasn't that easy for me to die."

"after all--"

He suddenly dragged his tail tone, held the two Wang Qingshi with one hand with his left hand, and his right hand naturally lowered, slowly stood up, facing the Buddha statue beside him.

The next breath, his pair of squint eyes opened slightly, and strands of spurts of spurts burst out from the cracks of his eyes.

At the same time, he pulled out the two Wang Qingshi in his hand! The silver-white sword light ejected out!

The sharp knife face reflected his old face, full of high-spirited expression.

The strong wind caused by drawing the sword swept across the audience.

"I am the head of the third generation of the Natural Lixin Liuzong family, Kondo Shusuke!"

Edo, martial arts lecturer—

The swordsman's saint, Seiichiro Tani, strided toward the backyard with great strides.

In a moment, a small and exquisite courtyard for high-rise buildings of the martial arts institute came into view.

Both of them were the first to be a martial arts teacher, and was known as the "main center of the martial arts world". Kuwada Qingyin, who is proficient in many martial arts, was sitting on the corridor of this courtyard, looking at the sky, thinking about something.

The male Tani Seichiro stood behind Kuwada Qingyin and said lightly:

"Qingyin, Liuying's command: The whole army of the 'Martial Arts Army' will attack! Fight to the death!"

Liuying - a respectful title to the shogunate.

The so-called "martial arts army" is a new army formed and trained by the martial arts institute.

Since its establishment, this new army has experienced twists and turns due to complex political struggles.

It has experienced many reductions and reduced funds.

It was not until Tokugawa Ieshima took power and after Aoden was promoted to the president of the Army that the living environment of the military army finally improved significantly.

With the joint cooperation between Tokugawa Ishima and Aoden, the military army has the same treatment as the Hachinoko, and has given priority to the Western-style guns and cannons and receive the most advanced military training nowadays.

After listening to the news from the male Seichiro Masaya, Kuwada Qingyin was silent first, and sighed for 5 seconds later:

"Oh, it would be great if the Changzhou Army could arrive half a year later..."

The martial arts army has the same problem as thousands of people: although equipped with new guns and cannons, it lacks corresponding training and has not yet formed considerable combat effectiveness.

In a nutshell, the current combat effectiveness of the military army is far from being able to fight against the enemy on the battlefield.

The male Seiichiro Tani sighed too:

"Even if it is difficult, I can only bite the bullet and go. This is a war involving the fate of Edo, and we cannot retreat."

He said, bent down and sat next to Kuwada Qingyin.

"Qingyin, how is your body? Can you still pull the bow and swing the knife?"

When Kuwada Qingyin heard this, she smiled:

"What? Seichiro, are you trying to let me go to the battlefield?"

The male Seiichiro responded calmly:

"I said, this is a war involving the fate of Edo, and we cannot retreat. Anyone with the power of a battle must come into battle - including me."

Kuwada Qingyin spread her hands helplessly.

"I'm no longer able to grab the knife."

"It's definitely no chance to expect me to kill the enemy with a knife."

"It's just a matter of pulling the bow and being able to do it."

Male Seiichiro Tani nodded:

"Since that's the case, when I lift my sword and rush to the formation, I'll ask you to use your bow and arrow to cover me."

Kuwada Qingyin seemed to hear some interesting anecdotes, shrugged:

"…Seichiro, I am forgiving, how much role can our sword play in this era when guns and cannons dominate the battlefield?"

The male Seiichiro Tani spread his hands.

“Not necessarily.”

"We will use Edo as the battlefield and fight against the enemy's cage."

"Working in streets and towns with complex terrain, the enemy's guns and cannons are difficult to use, so our swords can still come in handy."

Kuwada Qingyin grinned, showing a self-deprecating look:

"Only by fighting in narrow and narrow streets can the 'Soul of Warrior' come in handy... It's so funny."

The male Seichiro Tani sneered:

"Qingyin, this is not funny."

“This has been the case throughout history, isn’t it?”

"You who are proficient in more than ten kinds of martial arts should know better than me. Even in the Warring States Period, the effect of swords was very limited."

"The generals who fought in battle were counted as one, and they all held long spears, for fear that their spears would be half shorter than others."

"A swordsman like Nobuka Uchizumi, he also held a spear in his hand after going to the battlefield."

Kuwada Qingyin shook her head with a wry smile:

"Seichiro, this is different."

"In the Warring States Period, no matter how powerful the naginata was, the sword was still useful."

The messenger responded and then slowly retreated.
