Chapter 2376 Slap in the face

Then Matsuda introduced other people, and everyone was very polite to Jiang Yichun and others. It seemed that the Fuso people respected the culture of the Central Plains.

When a warrior was introduced, he said with a somewhat arrogant attitude: "The culture of the Central Plains is indeed admirable, but the people of the Central Plains are more civilized than military, and they actually let a woman become an official. It's really ridiculous."

Matsuda looked embarrassed, and the samurai shouted sharply: "Translate according to my original words, otherwise be careful with your head!"

Bai Ruozhu guessed it from the tone of the man's words and the disdain he showed when he glanced at her.

Reiko said before that the Fuso people advocate bushido and nindo, and if you practice both, you will be very powerful. It was also mentioned that the first samurai in Kyoto, Nao Nao, was a master of martial arts and nindo and was very respected.

I just don’t want to be despised by the first warrior when I meet him for the first time.

Matsuda forced himself to translate. Some people expressed helplessness at Lu Zhi's attitude, but some had a hint of schadenfreude in their eyes.

Probably I was bullied a lot by this first warrior on weekdays, and I felt faintly excited when I saw others being bullied.

Bai Ruozhu stood up and said to Matsuda: "Tell him, there are too many masters in Danliang Kingdom who are capable of both civil and martial arts. Female officials like me are relatively weak, but can't you retreat from the spirit of Bushido? Since the samurai-sama despises Now that I’m here, I can only challenge you.”

She said, pulling out the dagger and pointing the tip of the sword at Luzhi.

Matsuda was surprised. This was Fuso's move when he challenged his opponent. He clearly hadn't told them about it. How could Master Bai know about it?

Do they know a lot about Fuso?

Jiang Yichun frowned slightly, remembering to fight for Bai Ruozhu, but Bai Ruozhu secretly winked at him. Don't they look down on women? If a woman wins, it will be a slap in the face.

Jiang Yichun was a little worried, but seeing his wife's firm and unobjectionable eyes, he had no choice but to nod slightly and agree.

But he had already pinched two copper coins in his hand, and he was ready to take action at any time if Ruozhu was in danger.

Without Matsuda's translation, Lu Zhi had already understood Bai Ruozhu's meaning. A sinister look flashed in his eyes, but he laughed sarcastically and said, "What kind of status do I have, Lu Zhi, how can anyone challenge me?" Ask my attendant to play with her."

Everyone took a breath after hearing this. Who didn't know that Lu Zhi's attendant Shinno was also a master. Not only was he extremely powerful in swordsmanship, he was also the master of the number one ninjutsu family. When his family was fighting, Lu Zhi saved his life. He Only then did he willingly follow Luzhi to repay his kindness.

Attendant Xin Ye stood up, drew his samurai sword and pointed it at Bai Ruozhu.

Bai Ruozhu already understood what he meant, and it didn't matter to her. As long as she could frighten the other party and win back face for Dan Liang, it would be the same with anyone.

This would prevent her from actually defeating the First Samurai and leaving him unable to step down.

Matsuda translated with an embarrassed look, and finally reminded: "Master Bai, the Shinno warrior is very powerful, you'd better not fight with him."

Bai Ruozhu smiled at him, "It doesn't matter, I have always wanted to meet the masters of your country. No matter whether I win or lose, it would be nice to communicate with them."

She looked at the katana in Shinno's hand and found it interesting. She remembered that ninjas often used shurikens, hidden weapons and other weapons. It is said that Ninjutsu comes from the ancient Onmyoji of the Central Plains and is somewhat related to the art.

Bushido uses long swords and focuses on charging and sword skills, while Ninjutsu focuses on unpredictable changes. She was curious about how the Fuso people at this time combined the two.

Bai Ruozhu walked to the field with a dagger. Xinye stepped forward with a long knife and asked, "If you don't have a weapon, I can borrow a knife from you."

After Matsuda translated, Bai Ruozhu realized that the other party had underestimated her dagger and thought she didn't bring it with her to the banquet.

"This is my weapon." Bai Ruozhu said.

After Matsuda translated, Xinye said nothing and nodded to Bai Ruozhu, preparing for a duel.

There was a solemn look in his eyes, and he did not despise women like the first warrior. This made Bai Ruozhu feel a little fond of him, and he became more serious about this competition.

Being serious means respecting your opponent.

The two started moving quickly, and the Fusang people started talking in low voices, mostly saying that Bai Ruozhu's dagger was like a toy and would definitely suffer.

Unfortunately, they kept their mouths shut the first time they fought.

Because Shinno rushed forward and swung his sword very quickly, the movement was done in one go, and an ordinary samurai would not even be able to block this move.

Unexpectedly, Bai Ruozhu turned over and jumped up, and her toes touched the back of his knife. She flew up and jumped behind him, and the dagger stabbed strangely.

He got the upper hand with just one move, which suddenly made the atmosphere tense. The Fuso people were all sweating. Their warriors couldn't lose to a woman.

The dagger was placed on Xinye's neck, but Bai Ruozhu felt a little strange in his heart. How could he win so easily?

She couldn't believe it herself. Sure enough, with a bang, "Xinye" turned into a wooden puppet and fell from the air.

It is indeed a ninjutsu!

Fortunately, Bai Ruozhu was already prepared. He hurriedly turned over to avoid it and stabbed the dagger in the back.

The tip of Xinye's knife met the tip of Bai Ruozhu's dagger, and they both pushed away quickly. Xinye couldn't help but praise: "You are really cautious."

Then his sword swung away quickly, bringing with it a sword energy that seemed to freeze the air.

Bai Ruozhu's mouth showed a slight smile, what's wrong with you Fuso people returning to ninjutsu? My sister also knows magic.

She held a dagger in one hand, formed a seal with the other, and generated a spell, blocking Shinno's knife with a clang.

Everyone exclaimed in unison, and some even forgot that they were not allowed to make loud noises while watching the competition, and asked their companions with some excitement, "What was that just now? Why couldn't the sword of the new field guard cut down?"

The solemn look in Xinye's eyes became a little thicker. He used the knife again, and more than a dozen knife shadows appeared. The white light was particularly beautiful.

Another ninjutsu! Bai Ruozhu didn't dare to look down upon him. She formed seals and waved her dagger to resist. She circled around Xinye's right side like a ghost.

Since the opponent's sword technique is to move forward bravely and focus on speed, accuracy and ruthlessness, then she will use tricks.

She turned the blade, using the swordsmanship she learned at the Trial Ground, plus 50% of her internal strength, and the tip of the dagger suddenly hit the lower end of Shinno's hilt.

Shinno felt a pain from the tiger's mouth, and the katana was knocked out of his palm. He hurriedly ducked and caught the katana with his other hand.

Bai Ruozhu didn't pursue him or stop him. She really wanted to slap the first warrior, but after all, she had a heavy responsibility, so she could just stop when she felt like it.

Shinno stepped back, bowed deeply with a look of shame on his face, and said, "I lost."

Bai Ruozhu understood this, she clasped her fists and said politely: "I accept."
