C385 A True Warrior
Duan Tianya was surprised. It wasn't unusual for Muto Jiro to include his elder brother in the list, but it was really surprising that Muto Jiro could include the two brothers from the Shenzong family in the list.
The two of them drank until late at night. Muto Jiro was drunk. He had said that he had never been drunk in his life, but this time, he met Duan Tianya, a person who could only make himself drunk.
Muto Jiro leaned on the table and said intermittently, "If there was no family fight, we could have a great fight. " After saying that, he fell into a deep sleep.
Duan Tianya stood up and put the sword on his shoulder. He walked out of the door and came to the yard. He suddenly stopped and said softly, "You should show yourself. "
A figure jumped down from the roof. His body was light, and his movements were neat and clean. His Light-body Technique was profound. He held a long iron staff in his hand. After half a month of reflection, it shone with a dazzling light like the sharp blade of a divine weapon.
That person praised, "So you knew I was hiding under the roof. "
Duan Tianya shook his head and said, "I also just found out. " Borrowing the faint light from the room, he looked up and down at the person in front of him. After a moment, he asked, "You are Muto Ichiro?"
The person smiled and said, "Why do you think so?"
Duan Tianya said, "In Japan, there aren't many people who can understand what I'm saying. "
That person suddenly laughed and said, "You might not know this, but Japan has always worshipped the culture of the Central Plains. There are many people who can understand Han. "
Duan Tianya said again, "There are only a few people who use long sticks in Japan. "
That person laughed again and said, "The monks in our temple are all good at using sticks. This is not surprising. "
Duan Tianya smiled and said, "Then there is such a good martial artist guarding Muto Jiro's house at night. I believe that only you, Muto Ichiro, can do it in the territory of Muto family. "
The man held his long stick horizontally and smiled. "A person who can be invited by Jiro to drink is indeed extraordinary. " Then he said, "You are right, I am Muto Ichiro. "
"It's so cold. You actually hid under the roof for so long. "
Muto Ichiro smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, I am only worried that you will take the opportunity to hurt Jiro. "
Duan Tianya said, "It is understandable. After all, I am a guest invited by Shenzong family. "
Muto Ichiro said, "I heard that you are Huizi's husband. "
Duan Tianya was startled and wanted to say something, but Muto Ichiro spoke first. "This place is freezing cold. If you don't mind, you can go and have a chat with me. "
Duan Tianya couldn't refuse, but he had a difficult expression on his face. Muto Ichiro saw what happened and said, "I will send someone to Shenzong family to inform you of your whereabouts. " He waved his hand, and a black shadow jumped out from the roof. Both of them whispered to each other for a while, and then the man in black disappeared into the night. It was rare to see someone with such a strange Light-body Technique.
The layout of Muto Ichiro's residence was similar to that of the Central Plains. It must have been influenced by the culture of the Central Plains.
A ghost mask hung on the wall. It was worn by the Japanese witch worshippers. An iron bow hung beside it, and ten arrows were inserted into the quiver. There was a tall table in the middle, and a screen with mountains and rivers drawn on it stood by the side.
That spacious bed was covered with silk bedding. Sleeping on it would definitely be very comfortable.
"This place looks much more comfortable. " Duan Tianya didn't want to be outside, so he sat down on the bed and laid down, feeling a trace of satisfaction that belonged to him.
Muto Ichiro smiled and said, "You mean this bed?"
Duan Tianya said, "Of course not. "
Muto Ichiro was puzzled and asked, "What is that?"
Duan Tianya sat up and pointed to the wine cabinet beside him. "I smelled the wine when I came in. "
Muto Ichiro said, "You have drunk enough. "
Duan Tianya said, "But I am not drunk yet. "
Muto Ichiro said, "Why must I be drunk?"
Duan Tianya said, "Only when I am drunk will I speak my heart. "
Muto Ichiro said, "You want to get me drunk?"
Duan Tianya nodded and said, "That's right!"
Muto Ichiro smiled and said, "What do you want to know?"
Duan Tianya said, "You have to get drunk. "
Muto Ichiro said, "You can speak your mind even if you are not drunk. "
Duan Tianya asked, "You don't want to part with that wine?"
Muto Ichiro shook his head and said, "Of course not!" He said again, "Are you worried that I won't tell the truth?"
Duan Tianya stood up and said, "Since the two of you know that I am from the Shenzong family, why are you still treating me like this?"
Muto Ichiro sighed and said with a calm expression. "There is one thing you may not know. I am Huizi's husband. "
Duan Tianya was shocked and stood there stunned. His mind was blank. Muto Ichiro saw his expression and smiled. "You don't have to be surprised. I already have my heart. "
Duan Tianya did not know why, but a stone in his heart suddenly fell to the ground.
Muto Ichiro continued, "Whether it's Shenzong Ze or Shenzong Xin, we don't want to see the two families continue to fight because of fame and fortune. "
Duan Tianya was puzzled. "If that's the case, why didn't you stop them?"
Muto Ichiro smiled bitterly and said, "Because my father wants to promote the Martial Vine Family. As a son, how can he go against the rules?"
Duan Tianya nodded in agreement.
The two of them talked for a long time until dawn. Duan Tianya left the Muto family. On the way, he met an old warrior. Looking closely, it was Muto Hidetoshi.
Muto Hidetoshi looked at Duan Tianya and shouted, "Stop!"
Duan Tianya stopped and said, "Are you calling me?"
Muto Hidetoshi said angrily, "You are from Shenzong family. "
Duan Tianya said, "So what?"
Muto Hidetoshi snorted and said, "Let's see what you have to say. " As he spoke, he drew his long blade and slashed down. His attack was so fast that it caught people off guard.
Duan Tianya dodged backwards and drew his long sword. Under the contrast of the snow, it looked even colder.
At this moment, dozens of masked warriors suddenly appeared in the surroundings. They flashed their blades, and a cold light flashed in all directions. These masked warriors all jumped in front of Duan Tianya and surrounded him.
Muto Hidetoshi indeed had the right to be arrogant. A long blade was like a dragon going out to sea. His moves were strange and varied. The dozens of masked warriors also had superb knife skills and agile movements. It could be seen that these people were all well-trained assassins.
Duan Tianya waved his sword to welcome them. His moves were conservative and did not show any killing intent. He was not afraid of these warriors and assassins. He was just worried that if he hurt them, it would only deepen the enmity between the two families.
However, if he kept enduring, it would only bring Muto Hidetoshi and the others pressure him.
Duan Tianya could only defend against fifty or so attacks. If this continued, he was afraid that something would happen to him.
