Tokyo Swordmaster Online Dealer

The Shinsengumi's swordsman team was clearly split into two teams.

One team escorted Miyagawa Isamu as he went away, while the other team guarded behind Ito Daizo.

It seems that there have long been two distinct factions within the Shinsengumi.

Uesugi Kiyoshi hooked his fingers, and a wakizashi and a katana flew into his hands.

The blade of Nagasomi Kotetsu's sword is icy sharp and glowing with blood, but its appearance is ordinary, even ugly. However, Uesugi Kiyoshi is quite satisfied with it - Niten Ichiryu itself consists of two swords, one long and one short, which can maximize their power when combined, and it is difficult for him to find a suitable wakizashi to use, so the two Onikiri he has been using can only be said to be mediocre.

Now it seems that this sword, Chang Zeng Mi Kotetsu, is quite handy.

The other sword, the California Kiyomitsu, was a little more ordinary. It was said that this was the sword that Okita Souji used to wear. Uesugi Kiyomitsu was not interested in it. He just glanced at it and threw it back.

"Here, Maki, the spoils."

"Keep it for fun, or I'll teach you two-sword style next time. With the force and speed you just used, I think it will be easy to control two swords."

Maki Toufumi's injuries have almost healed, except for a small hole in her cherry-colored furisode on her lower abdomen and a circle of bloodstains, proving that she had been injured.

She reached out and took the katana in her hand, and the first thing she paid attention to was not its image and quality.

"Is this a gift from Mr.?"

This was her first thought.

Then, the corners of her mouth curled up in an expression of joy that could not be concealed. She secretly glanced at Uesugi Kiyoshi, then lowered her head to look at the knife in her hand. She was distracted and had no idea what she was thinking.

Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't notice that Toufu Maki was distracted. He shook his hands and patted his cheeks, as if to completely wipe away the fierceness on his face. Then, he put on a harmless and gentle smile, turned to Ito Daizo and bowed slightly.

"Senior Ito, the situation was critical just now, so please forgive me for not greeting you formally."

At this moment, Uesugi Kiyoshi was humble, polite, and well-mannered. How could he look like the ferocious monster that just hacked people?

Ito Daizo stretched out his hand to help Uesugi Kiyoshi up, also smiling and shaking his head repeatedly.

"No, just don't blame me for just standing by and watching. It's not that I don't want to help. Teacher Shangquan has contacted me many times, saying that he has found a rare talent in the world. Although he is young, he has impressed me deeply in terms of temperament and swordsmanship. I want to teach him everything I have learned in my life and pass the responsibility of Shinkage Ryu to him."

"I am also a swordsman. I am very curious and want to see you take action and test your strength."

“It really opened my eyes.”

"Looking throughout Kyoto, it is hard to find a swordsman who can surpass Miyakawa Yu in swordsmanship. He and I have been colleagues for many years. Although we are physically close, we understand each other better as opponents."

"When it comes to swordsmanship, whether it's a sparring match or a life-and-death duel, I'm no match for him."

"But he didn't last long under your hands - how to say it?"

Ito Daizo felt mixed emotions and his smile was bitter.

After all, genius is one of the factors that can most devastate "ordinary people".

"I can only say that you are worthy of being Mr. Kamiizumi's disciple. I am convinced."

Uesugi Kiyoshi smiled slightly, but did not beam with joy because of the compliments. He asked softly, "I'm sorry, Ito-senpai."

"Master only told me your name, but not your identity. You called me Junior Brother, so are you also Master's disciple?"

Ito Daizo quickly waved his hands and shook his head, his face full of regret.

"No, no, no, I can't be called a disciple of Mr. Kamiizumi. At best, I'm just a student."

There is still a difference between students and disciples.

In school, teachers teach students. A teacher may teach hundreds or thousands of students in his or her lifetime.

However, a master would not easily ask to accept a disciple. If he did, he would spend a lot of effort to train the disciple - at least in the kendo world, this is the case.

In terms of terminology, it is the difference between "external biography" and "internal biography".

Outer disciples learn only the basics, while inner disciples learn the secret skills.

"When I was young, I met Mr. Kamiizumi and he saved my life. Even the inheritance mirror that connects to Ito Koshitaro was given to me by Mr. Kamiizumi."

"He taught me swordsmanship, how to defend against enemies and slay demons, and asked a friend to place me in the Shinsengumi so that I could have a place to stay."

"It is a kindness that I will never be able to repay in this lifetime."

"I also want to study under Master Shangquan, but unfortunately, I am dull and cannot catch his eye. Fortunately, I am a registered disciple and have the right to call him Master."

"Now that I see Junior Brother Uesugi, the first thing I see is his chivalrous character. He is truly better than our teacher in his time."

"Don't worry, Junior Brother. Although I don't have a great background, I have been in Kyoto for many years and have a good reputation. If you encounter any problems, just tell me."

"I promised the teacher that I would take good care of you. We in the New Yinliu sect always keep our word!"

Some words, no matter whether they are sincere or not, can warm people's hearts when they are spoken.

Ito Daizo smiled gently and spoke with great confidence, which made Uesugi Kiyoshi feel much better.

It feels really good to be cared for.

Ito Daizo would not lie about such a thing. Since his master said he could be trusted, there should be no problem. Uesugi Kiyoshi nodded.

"Then I would like to thank you in advance, Senior Brother. Please take good care of me in the future."

"Well, regarding the Imperial Trial, please take care of it. Master asked me to find a senior brother from the Yagyu family, and he wanted me to follow the normal procedures. I'm sure Master doesn't want to see favoritism or fraud."

"He asked me to take the title of a swordsman in front of the emperor. Although I don't know how to do it, I don't want to take an empty title."

"It's just that my senior brother said that I need you to pay more attention to the challenge."

"I have no past or present grudges against Miyakawa Isamu, but I cannot tolerate his behavior. It just so happens that my senior brother also holds an important position in the Shinsengumi, so why don't we join forces and let my senior brother take the position of the chief as well."

"After all, this position belongs to the most capable person."

"I think that the Master's students must not be cowards like Miyakawa Isamu who compromise with reality."

Ito Daizo smiled knowingly and held the hilt of the sword at his waist with some pride.

"Don't worry about this, Junior Brother. I don't dare to say that I am a good person, but I will never act like Miyakawa Isamu."

"When I was learning from Master Shangquan, he gave me some instructions."

"Punishing evil and protecting the people is our duty as swordsmen!"

"I keep these words in my mind day and night, and I dare not forget them."

"Hmph, if I really become someone like Miyagawa Isami in the future..."

"Then I'll ask my junior brother to take my head!"

Ito Daizo's eyes were firm and his words were powerful.

Uesugi Kiyoshi could see his sincerity. This man had a clear mind and obviously had his own beliefs. The promise he just made did not seem false.

They are like-minded people and are worthy of being students taught by the master.

Kamiizumi Hidekawa was extremely picky when it came to choosing his disciples. He had heard from A-lin that this great swordsman of the Shinkage-ryu only accepted one inner disciple in his lifetime.

Uesugi Kiyoshi can be said to be the only one of his kind.

He waved his hand quickly and said with a smile: "Senior Brother, you are too kind. I naturally believe you."

"There's too much noise here, so we need to do some finishing work."

Before he could finish his words, Ito Daizo interrupted him.

"I understand. Don't worry. I'm the chief of the Kyoto Police Headquarters. I'll take care of these things. I've arranged for people to set up a blockade before I came. I won't disturb the people."

"I have also investigated the details of the gangs entrenched here. If it weren't for that bastard Song Yuan protecting them, I would have wiped out all these scums long ago."

"Leave the follow-up finishing work to me. Your purpose of coming here should be to arrest the culprit who attacked the Collectibles Association a few days ago. It seems that you have succeeded."

"Then I won't bother you while you're working. You should have my contact information. If you have anything, just call me directly. Don't be polite with me."

Ito Daizo knew the importance of things, and Uesugi Kiyoshi obviously had more important things to deal with, so he didn't exchange pleasantries with him at this time. He just said a few words in a straightforward manner, and his words showed his intention to leave.

"Brother, wait a moment--"

Uesugi Kiyoshi called out to Ito Daizo, his eyes flickered a little, he smiled shyly, and then spoke.

"I have an unwelcome request, I hope you will agree."

Ito Daizo nodded readily.

"But it doesn't matter."

Uesugi Kiyoshi hesitated for a few seconds and whispered, "Brother, I might go to the Phoenix House in a few days to do something, which might make a lot of noise. I would like to ask you to help me talk to the police and the Shinsengumi so that no one will interfere with me."

Ito Daizo was shocked when he heard this. The handsome old man's almond-shaped eyes narrowed and he hesitated for a while. Although he nodded, his expression was a little solemn.

"This is a small matter. The public security police in Kyoto's two large chaebol headquarters can't control it at all. They won't sell the face of the Shinsengumi. You don't have to worry about interference from external factors."

"It's just that the top chaebols in Japan basically have the confidence to run rampant. Even though the Phoenix family has only been rising for a short time, if they don't have extraordinary power to rely on, how can they get ahead?"

"I know that you are an extraordinary swordsman and have countless other skills, but there aren't many people from the Collectibles Association, right?"

"You are all alone, and I am afraid that something might happen to you. So, if you go that day, ask me to come with you. Although I am dull and less powerful than you, I can at least wield a sword, so I can be of some help."

Ito Daizo is really very humble. He is the top fighter in the Shinsengumi after Miyagawa Isami. He inherits the swordsmanship of three schools: Shinto Munen-ryu, Hokushin Ittoryu, and Shinkage-ryu. How could he be a weakling?

Uesugi Kiyoshi rejected his kindness.

"Well, it's not that I'm being polite, brother. It's just some private matters. It's not convenient for others to interfere. I'm confident. You don't have to worry about me."

After he said that, Ito Daizo understood, nodded, and stopped talking.

"It's good that you know the situation, Junior Brother. If that's the case, I will inform the people below and have them report directly to me about what happened in the Phoenix Courtyard in the past few days."

The matter was settled, and the two exchanged a few pleasantries before leaving separately, each with their own thoughts.

Uesugi Kiyoshi first walked to the corner.

Just now, Shingo Narumi said that something was wrong with Anzi, but when he glanced at her from the corner of his eye, he didn't notice anything wrong, so he didn't worry and just dealt with the matter at hand first.

Now that things here are almost finished, Uesugi Kiyoshi finally has some free time.

"Maki, go and help me keep an eye on that monk. Don't let him die easily. I still have a use for him."

After explaining everything, Uesugi Kiyoshi walked to the side of Ming Hai Shingo.

Anzi stood up shakily, her expensive little dress stained with blood without her noticing. She saw Uesugi Kiyoshi coming over, blinked, and smiled brightly.

"Uesugi-kun, I succeeded."
