People in Hokage, start as Tachibana Ukyo

Tahara Castle.

Ever since the Hojo clan was destroyed by Amano, the name "Ukyo" has spread among the crowd.

Especially the group of people who were rescued by Amano at the beginning began to spread Ukyo's reputation in Tahara Castle with great fanfare.

Some people even erected a statue of Ukyo in the central square of Tahara Castle to remember the hero who brought them hope.

Now, it has been some time since the Hojo clan was destroyed.

The residents of Tahara City have already returned to normal life.

The demise of the Hojo clan did not have any negative impact on the scattered warriors and civilians living here.

On the contrary, the lives of Sanren warriors and commoners here seem to have improved significantly.

Walking on the streets of Tahara Castle, you can see children playing and laughing everywhere, and adults will show happy smiles on their faces from time to time.

The city that used to be lifeless seems to be born again, and vigorous vitality can be seen everywhere.

at this time.

Tahara Castle.

Central Square.

A group of children were surrounding an old man. They looked up at the newly completed giant sculpture with admiration in their eyes.

This sculpture depicts the legendary Lord Ukyo.

On the side, the elderly grandpa introduced to the children: "Master Youjing helped us eradicate the evil Hojo clan and let us all live a happy life. We want to thank him, so, children, you have grown up Be like Ukyo-sama, protect your family, protect our city!"

"Ok!"

A group of children nodded in unison, with firm expressions on their immature faces.

Outside Tianyuan City.

Mifune led a group of men and walked slowly into Tianyuan City.

As soon as the group entered the city, they found that the city was a little different from what they had imagined, and seemed to be full of vigor and vitality.

"If I remember correctly, the owner of this city should be the Hojo clan. With the style of that clan, they will definitely oppress the residents of the city. However, I didn't see any melancholy from these people. Instead, I am full of hope for the future.”

Speaking of this, Mifune couldn't help showing a trace of curiosity on his face.

"Could it be that the Hojo clan has changed their minds?"

Sanfuan turned to look at Chongsuke beside him, and ordered: "Chongjie, you send someone to check, I want to know what happened in this city."

"Yes!"

Chong Jie responded, and then sent several people around to inquire about the situation.

As for Mifune and others, they continued to move forward.

As a leader among the scattered samurai, Mifune and his team have been working hard to resist the oppression of the samurai family.

In order to fight for more rights and interests for the scattered samurai and civilians, the battle between Mifune and the samurai family has never stopped.

Not long ago, he led his men into a fierce battle with the Yagyu clan.

Although he defeated the warriors of the Yagyu clan in the end, his own team also suffered a lot of losses.

So Mifune brought the rest of the staff to Tahara City, wanting to recuperate in this city.

However, if they want to gain a firm foothold in this city, they must first pass the level of the Hojo clan.

For this reason, Mifune and others have already made preparations to go to war with the Hojo clan.

However, after entering Tahara Castle, everything around Mifune and the others gave an extremely strange feeling.

Whether it is a casual warrior or a commoner here, there is a kind of vigorous vitality.

In them, Mifune saw ardent expectations.

These people seem to be full of beautiful visions for the future.

This kind of vigor and vitality that is incompatible with other cities made Mifune and others feel an indescribable sense of trance.

The goal they have been pursuing for a long time has been realized first in Tianyuan City!

This is something Mifune and the others never expected.

What is going on here?
With a trace of doubt, Mifune walked towards the central square of Tahara Castle.

"That is……"

Looking at the swordsman statue erected in the central square, Mifune's eyes became even more puzzled.

Who is this swordsman?

Why was such a huge statue erected for this person in the central square?

Wouldn't the Hojo clan object?

One question after another appeared in Mifune's mind, but no one gave him an answer.

Surrounded by a group of half-grown children in front of the statue, an old man is telling the children something novel.

Sanfuan walked over quickly, and politely asked the old man, "Old man, which swordsman is carved in this statue?"

The old man glanced at Mifune, and then stopped for a while on the people behind Sanfune.

Not only did he not answer Mifune's question, but instead asked aloud, "Are you from other places?"

"Yes!"

Mifune answered truthfully.

They have just entered Tianyuan City, and they don't know much about the city, so there is no need to hide it.

"The statue erected in front of you is Master Ukyo. He is a great swordsman. He exterminated the Hojo clan and let us get rid of the oppression of the Hojo clan. He is a great hero in our hearts!" said the old man. At that time, I was very excited.

When Mifune and the others heard this, their complexions changed one after another.

No wonder they felt something was wrong from the moment they entered the city.

Unexpectedly, the once prominent Hojo clan was actually wiped out, and it was a strange swordsman who wiped out the Hojo clan.

Mifune basically knew all the famous swordsmen of the major samurai families.

He had never heard of the name Youjing.

Obviously, this swordsman named You Jing is very likely to be an undisciplined samurai.

If this person can be recruited under his command, why not overwhelm the samurai family.

At that time, it will undoubtedly be easier to fight for more rights and interests for scattered warriors and civilians.

Thinking of this, Mifune couldn't help becoming very interested in Ukyo, an unfamiliar swordsman.

"Old man, can you give me a detailed introduction to this swordsman named You Jing?"

Mifune once again asked the old man for advice respectfully.

"Youkyo-sama..."

The old man stroked his beard, his whole body seemed to be lost in memory, and he began to slowly tell about Master Youjing's deeds.

As the old man spoke, Mifune and the others listened quietly.

No one disturbed, even the naughty children were rarely quiet at this time.

After listening to the old man's narration, Mifune and others left.

Beside Mifune, Chong Jie obviously didn't believe what the old man said, and there was a hint of doubt in his eyes from beginning to end.

"Master Mifune, do you believe what the old man said?"

"Believe it or not is not that important anymore, we just need to confirm whether the Hojo clan is still there."

When Mifune said this, there was an inexplicable light in his eyes.

A group of people walked through several streets, and under the guidance of the locals, they quickly found the mansion of the Hojo family.

The vast mansion was covered with a lot of dust because it had not been cleaned up for a long time.

Mifune stayed at the entrance of the mansion for a while, then walked in with Chongsuke and others.

Along the way, dark red blood can be seen everywhere.

As for the dead Hojo warriors, they had been dragged out and burned by the locals, including the dead Hojo patriarch Yuichi Hojo, who had also been reduced to ashes with many Hojo warriors.

As the group walked along, the most they saw was the bright red blood stains on the ground. Other than that, it was difficult for them to see other traces left behind.

Standing in the meeting hall of the Hojo clan, Mifune and the others stopped in their tracks.

It is true that the Hojo clan no longer exists as the old man said.

With the power of one person, destroy the Hojo clan.

This swordsman named You Jing is indeed not an ordinary person!
Today, the samurai team led by Mifune cannot pose too much threat to the samurai family, let alone bring down the samurai family.

He urgently needs to recruit more powerful uninitiated warriors, and Amano is exactly the talent he is looking for and must absorb.

"Chongsuke, we will rest here for a period of time. When we are almost ready, we will leave Tahara Castle to find the swordsman named Youjing. If we have this person's help, our team will definitely improve in quality. By then Those of us no longer have to worry about the joint encirclement and suppression of the warrior family."

When Mifune said this, an inexplicable look flashed in his eyes.

"Master Mifune, are you so sure that this person will join us?"

Shousuke was not as optimistic as Mifune.

"The swordsman named Ukyo was able to destroy the Hojo clan by himself, which is enough to prove that he is a powerful swordsman. If such a character wants to convince him, he must not have strong strength. Do you think you can defeat that person, Master Mifune?" ?”

Chongsuke put forward his views in a timely manner.

"Even if I'm not his opponent, I still want to pull him into our team, even if I give up the position of leader!" Mifune paused for a while, and then said: "If the rule of the samurai family is not overthrown, the future I don’t know how many people will be forced to leave this country, and the Iron Country will come to an end by then, and we have no other choice!”

"Master Mifune, it seems that you have already made a decision." Chongsuke bowed to Mifune, and said firmly: "No matter what decision Master Mifune makes, Chongsuke will definitely follow you closely and never betray you! "

"it is good!"

Mifune patted Chongsuke on the shoulder heavily, and said equally firmly: "We will definitely bring down the samurai family, save this country, and bring hope to the scattered samurai and common people!"
