Yonglu five years, the new year has passed for several days.

Immersed in the joy of the new year, Gaoyuan city has not yet eased back from the lazy atmosphere from top to bottom. Except for the normally guarded samurai and foot light, most of the other samurai and foot light returned to their homes in Chengxia town to spend the festival with their wives and children.

Therefore, Gaoyuan city was deserted. The new snow accumulated last night was not light enough to clean up, and the soldiers on duty were also listless.

Still in that small courtyard, Li Xiao, who has just finished practicing his shooting skills, is sweating all over.

Unremitting practice of marksmanship is already his daily compulsory course. Li Xiao gets up from his warm bed at five o'clock every morning. After practicing marksmanship for an hour, he returns to benwan for breakfast, so he can start his day's life.

After breakfast, if there is no task to train troops or teach Takeda shenglai's marksmanship, Li Xiao will ride his horse to the lower town of Gaoyuan city to find Dao shengmeng. In fact, except for Li Xiaohe and Yamamoto, there are a few high-level warriors. Most of the warriors and Zuqing's homes are in Chengxia town.

At the beginning, Takeda shenglai was very curious when he learned that Li Xiao had accepted a subordinate. After knowing that the other party is brave and powerful, Takeda Sheng has a heart of loving talents and once proposed to ask Li Xiao to give up the side close to him.

The nearby people, like the little surname, are all around the Lord and accompany him all day. Xiao's task is mainly to take care of the Lord's daily life, and most of them need to sell chrysanthemums. The nearby people should be responsible for the task of protecting the Lord, similar to the escort.

Because small surnames and close relatives can often approach the Lord, they have the highest chance of promotion. Take the Takeda family as an example. For example, the famous six people of AOJIN Xi, Tuwu Changci, Sanzhi shouyou, Gan lichangzhong, Zeng genchangshi and Nagasaki yuanwulang, all came from the nearby people around Takeda Xinxuan, and later became the generals of the Takeda family.

Tuwu Changci and Sanzhi shouyou are among the 24 generals in Takeda.

As for those with a small surname, nothing more than takasaka Changxin, one of the four famous officials in Takeda. The friendship between Takeda Xinxuan and takasaka Changxin is still talked about by the majority of his friends today because of the spread of their love letters.

However, when Takeda shenglai solicited Dao shengmeng, before Li Xiao spoke, Dao shengmeng had already refused to export. In the eyes of Dao shengmeng, the object of his effectiveness is Li Xiao, not Takeda shenglai himself or Takeda's family. This is not surprising. The idea of Dao shengmeng is also the idea of most warriors in this era.

Nevertheless, Li Xiao is so loyal to Dao shengmeng and likes it very much. When Li Xiao was looking for Dao shengmeng, they often talked and exchanged martial arts together.

Before daoshengmeng, he traveled far and wide. He also served as a foot light or warrior under Daming and participated in several joint battles. However, after the demise of his master's family, he became a ronin again and traveled around the world. In addition, he was often good at fighting against injustice, and fighting was even more common.

Therefore, Dao shengmeng has rich experience in martial arts competition. Li Xiao also benefited a lot from him. Of course, Dao shengmeng also admired Li Xiao's shooting.

The two often talked half and were interested together. They picked up wooden guns and swords and competed with each other. Thus, in the past month, the martial arts of Dao shengmeng and Li Xiao have improved and improved to a certain extent. In fact, Dao shengmeng has no famous teacher to teach him. Most of his martial arts are self-taught and gained from his experience in battle.

A good swordsman can also accumulate experience in life and death struggle with people. If he can survive after dozens of life and death struggles, he will naturally become a swordsman.

For example, Miyamoto Musashi himself did not worship a teacher and learned fencing of any genre in his life. Then he began at the age of 13 and competed with other genres more than 60 times until the age of 29. He had never been defeated once. He created his own Kendo of erdaoliu, and later defeated the world-famous swordsman Sasaki Kojiro.

In this way, after such half a day's competition, the two often feel that they are not satisfied. They often go to the wine house to buy some snacks and meals, and then drink a little wine while listening to the pipa monk in the wine house, playing and singing the story of Ping family.

Hoo!

Li Xiao took a long breath heavily between his mouth and nose. After breathing gently, he put a gun in one hand, bent his legs, sat cross legged directly in the snow, closed his eyes and meditated. Thinking about the gains and shortcomings of his shooting skills over the past day, the reason why he sits and lies in the snow is also a way to hone his patience and perseverance.

Three days later, it was the day when Li Xiao dueled with Shigang Yiyu!

Li Xiao didn't know how long he had been sitting. Suddenly, he heard the light and heavy sound of stepping on the snow behind him. Without thinking, he could guess who could make such strange footsteps except Yamamoto.

"What's the snow scenery like in Xinnong mountain? Lord Li Xiao." Yamamoto's exclamation came from behind Li Xiao.

Li Xiao opened his eyes and stood up with a gun. Because Yamamoto's inquisition disturbed his meditation, his face was slightly unhappy. However, such a chagrin just flashed through Li Xiao's heart.

He stood up and patted the snow on his pants. He looked up and looked into the distance. In the mountains in the distance, the snow on the top of the mountain and the hillside were gray and white. It was like a sea of clouds slowly steaming up, like people climbing over the mountain. It was a rare beauty.

Li Xiao suddenly felt relaxed and happy. He turned and looked at Yamamoto. Li Xiao secretly wondered why the other party suddenly came to him and asked him how the snow was. Li Xiao remembers that except for business matters, Yamamoto has never taken the initiative to talk to him once.

Li Xiaoxin also guessed Yamamoto's intention, then smiled and said, "it's a beautiful scenery."

Yamamoto nodded and said, "the snow scenery in Xinnong mountain is very beautiful, but it is worse than that in undead mountain. Has Lord Li Xiao ever heard of undead mountain?"

Mount Fuji, the symbol of Japan, was renamed Mount Fuji in the post Meiji era because of its indecent name. Mount Fuji is also the only mountain in Japan with snow on the top of the mountain in four seasons. Because its mountains are covered with snow, like a jade fan hanging upside down in the air, it is also known as "the jade fan."

Just like the Chinese often say that not reaching the Great Wall is not a hero. It is a pity if you can't see Mount Fuji once in your life in Japan. Therefore, there are a large number of nouns between Fuji and Jian in Japanese place names. Not because you can see Mount Fuji, but because there is a mountain similar to Mount Fuji nearby.

Li Xiaoyan said, "I've heard of it, but I didn't get to see it. I only know it's a very high mountain, and there is snow on the top of the mountain all the year round." Yamamoto kamaku nodded, walked two steps closer, then stood still, held the scabbard in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "The essence of my martial arts lies in the four words of Fenglin volcano, and the Kendo I helped by Yamamoto also lies in being as motionless as a mountain. Lord Li Xiao, do you know what Juhe is in kendo?"
