The meaning of this entire saying, in a nutshell, is -

When it comes to sword skills, Chiba Eijiro is the best!

In terms of sword strength, Saito Yakuro is the strongest!

When it comes to the elegance of swords, Momoi Haruzo is the best!

And among these three people, Chiba Eijiro has the greatest reputation.

As for why Chiba Eijiro is the most famous... there is no other reason: Chiba Eijiro's various achievements so far are so dazzling that ordinary people just want to look away and lament the injustice of heaven——

When he was 16 years old, Chiba Eijiro defeated 18 swordsmen in a row in a swordsmanship competition by himself, and these 18 swordsmen included "Swordsman" Shimada Toranosuke and "Bai no Momoi" Momoi

Spring hidden!

When he was still 16 years old, Chiba Eijiro challenged Kakimoto Seiyoshi, who was also known as a "swordsman". He used Kakimoto Seiyoshi's moves and completely defeated Kakimoto Seiyoshi. Kakimoto Seiyoshi had no power to fight back.

When he was 17 years old, Yamaoka Tetsune, known as "Ki Tetsu", led more than 20 swordsmen to challenge Chiba Eijiro. Their original intention was to kill Chiba Eijiro in a wheel battle, but they ended up fighting twenty.

There were many Chiba Eijiro, and he defeated all the more than 20 challengers, including Yamaoka Tesfune, and when defeating these people, Chiba Eijiro used a bamboo sword with a broken handle.

At the age of 19, he fought against Saito Kannosuke, the second son of "Power Saito" Saito Yakuro, known as "Ghost Huan", and Saito Kannosuke was defeated miserably. It is said that Saito Kannosuke

It has left a deep psychological shadow since then.

When he was 21 years old, Chiba Eijiro challenged the famous swordsman Muta Takashun. Muta Takashun was so frightened that he said he was ill at home and did not dare to fight Chiba Eijiro. He scolded Chiba Eijiro in his diary for "suddenly coming to trouble him".

Jiro.

…

Chiba the Technique, Chiba's Little Tengu, the strongest swordsman in Edo at the moment... No matter what kind of compliments people give to this amazingly talented prodigy, they will not be too exaggerated.

To put it bluntly, Chiba Eijiro is a "genius crusher".

The "swordsman", the "ghost" and the "dragon", these people who are regarded as the pride of heaven in the eyes of others, were either defeated or defeated miserably when facing Eijiro Chiba.

Chiba Eijiro is extremely powerful - this is not the most terrifying thing.

The scariest thing is that he is still very young!

"Saito of Power" Saito Yakuro is 62 years old this year, and "Momoi of Position" Haruzo Momoi is 35 years old.

And Eijiro Chiba... is only 27 years old this year!

It is far from reaching the peak of a man's physical and energetic abilities.

He has already made such dazzling achievements at such a young age, so many people are saying that as long as nothing unexpected happens, Chiba Eijiro's future achievements will definitely surpass his father who created the Beichen Itto Style: Chiba

Shusaku and his uncle: Chiba Nobuyoshi!

Natsume Yue and others were chattering and excitedly discussing this legendary swordsman who was already famous throughout the world at such a young age.

They thought their discussion was so quiet that the Chiba brothers and sisters would not hear it, but in fact their words had already reached the ears of Chiba Jutaro and Sanako word for word.

The Chiba brothers and sisters didn't say anything about this - they had long been accustomed to the sight of outsiders being excited and overwhelmed with excitement after hearing the name "Chiba Eijiro".

The two brothers and sisters glanced helplessly at Natsume Yue and the others, and then continued talking:

"Brother, my father just told me that after you come back from buying medicine, he asked you to go to our warehouse and find the bottles of wine that my father has collected."

"Tonight, we are going to the Xuanwu Hall to hold a sumptuous feast for our second cousin with our aunt, third cousin, and fourth cousin."

"Those bottles of wine that my father collected?" Chiba Jutaro scratched his hair, "I don't know where the bottles of wine that my father collected were placed in the warehouse... Okay, I'll go look for them later.

Yes, by the way, we will also tidy up the messy warehouse in our house."

"You just said that Brother Rong is chatting with father in his bedroom, right? Then let me go and see if they have finished talking. Sanako, you can continue teaching, and I won't disturb you anymore."

After that, Chiba Jutaro said goodbye to Sanako and quickly walked out of Field C alone.

Climbing the stairs to the top floor, he walked towards Chiba Nobuyoshi's bedroom in three steps at a time - suddenly, he happened to see the paper sliding door of Chiba Nobuyoshi's bedroom being pushed open, and two people, one old and one young,

The figure walked out of the room.

Looking at these two figures, Chiba Jutaro was startled, then waved his hands excitedly and shouted:

"Brother Rong! Long time no see!"

The two figures, the old one and the young one, are none other than Chiba Nobuyoshi and Chiba Eijiro who just finished their conversation in the room!

Just now, after his waist hurt again, Chiba Nobuyoshi was not in the mood to chat with Chiba Eijiro anymore.

At Chiba Sadaikichi's request, Chiba Eijiro felt his back pain was so severe that it was difficult to even walk. Thinking of breathing fresh air outside, Chiba Sadaikichi helped Chiba Sadakichi out of the bedroom. Ever since, the two of them bumped into each other and came to find them.

Chiba Jutaro.

Hearing Chiba Jutaro's voice, Chiba Eijiro was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Chiba Jutaro who was walking quickly towards them with surprise on his face:

"Jutaro! Long time no see! You seem to have grown a lot stronger."

"Hahaha!" Chiba Jutaro laughed a few times, "It's been a long time since we brothers have seen each other!"

Chiba Shusaku had four sons: Chiba Kitsutaro, Chiba Eijiro, Chiba Michizaburo, and Chiba Tamonshiro.

Among them, the eldest son Chiba Kitsutaro has died long ago. Among the remaining three cousins...Chiba Eijiro has the best relationship with their little Chiba Kenkan; he has the best relationship with Chiba Jutaro and Sanako.

The most sincere.

After walking up to Eijiro Chiba, Jutaro Chiba gave his long-awaited cousin a big bear hug.

"We must have a drink together tonight!" Chiba Jutaro grinned and smiled happily, "I have a lot of topics I want to talk to you about!"

"Okay." Chiba Eijiro said with a gentle smile, "We won't get home until we get drunk tonight."

…

…

That day, night——

Edo, Koishikawa Kohinagayanagicho, trial defense hall, dojo——

Whirring whirring!

In the huge dojo, the sound of breaking wind from the bamboo swords could be heard constantly.

Qingden stood alone in the center of the dojo, holding a bamboo sword in his hand and practicing Su Zhen in a meticulous manner.

After practicing until he was covered in sweat and the muscles in his arms began to get sore, Qingden stopped holding the sword in his hand, raised the sleeve of his right arm, and wiped the sweat from his face.

——Tomorrow is Lord Aizu’s swordsmanship competition...

Qingdeng secretly said this in his heart and let out a long breath silently.

After resting briefly for a while, Qingdeng picked up the bamboo sword in his hand again, ready to continue practicing.

But at this moment, Zhouzhu's voice suddenly sounded from Qingdeng's side:

"...Not bad, you can actually make every Su Zhen's movements so standard."

"Master...?" Qingdeng opened his eyes and looked at Zhousuke who suddenly appeared at the door of the dojo in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Zhousuke, who was putting his hands behind his back, said with a smile: "On a whim, I just wanted to come and watch your practice."
