I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

January 18th, the second year of Kansei——

Edo--

Today is a very rare bright sunny day in the middle of winter.

The warm sunlight shone diagonally from the blue sky, bringing bursts of warmth to Edo Castle, the center of Japan.

Edo, the seat of the Tokugawa Shogunate, is the undoubted center of Japan.

It is not only Japan's most populous city and political center, but also Japan's commercial center.

At any time, a large number of merchants from north to south entered or left Edo, bringing various commodities from all over the country and even foreign countries to Edo.

These merchants from all over the world have undoubtedly injected strong vitality into Edo.

The development of Edo's commerce is not only reflected in the large number of merchants from all over the country entering here to do business, but also in the large number of shops opened in Edo Castle.

Countless merchants settled down in Edo, selling their own special products.

The sunlight leaning down from the sky casts the shadows of the row of shops on the left of a certain avenue on the spacious rammed earth road and on the heads and shoulders of the pedestrians walking on this avenue.

As for the storefronts of the row of shops on the right, they are bathed in dazzling sunlight.

In these densely packed shops, the eaves are basically not high, and the area is large or small.

All kinds of signs are hung on these shops.

"Kansai miscellaneous goods", "Key house", "Nanban goods", "Suharaya", "Kokura Chaya"... all kinds of signboards are dazzling.

Edo is not only a well-developed business, but also a variety of entertainment activities.

Ryogoku Hiroko Road-one of the most famous happy streets in Edo.

There are not only a large number of quyi fields, but also a large number of entertainers performing their own masterpieces on both sides of the street.

There is a performance of the "strong man" who lifts a huge straw bale or a large rock filled with rice.

Some bring monkeys, dogs and other animals to juggling.

There are storytellers.

Although it is a big winter, less than three years have passed since the terrifying "Tenmei Hunger", and although the situation of the country has not been revitalized, there are still a large number of townspeople and samurai who have fun there every day. .

The various distresses and predicaments that the country is currently encountering seem to have nothing to do with Edo Castle, and none of these things seem to have a slight impact on Edo Castle.

Edo Castle is still so radiant, welcoming people with a clever smile, drunk with gold fans... Every corner is filled with unparalleled ease and luxury...

...

...

If you want to say who is the most popular storyteller in Guangxiao Road in the two countries, there may be many people who say the same name-Tachikawa Ting Tan Le.

The stories that Tan Le is best at telling are well-known.

But today, he did not say that he is good at it.

Rather, it tells the story of "Oni no Hirazo", which has been very popular among the townspeople and samurai of Edo in recent years.

"In other words, it was the end of autumn and the beginning of winter two years ago, with a biting cool breeze and dusk approaching."

Only by the tone of speaking, one can see the superb level of talking music.

This circumflex tone makes people sound very comfortable.

The audience in the audience all looked directly at Tan Le on the stage and listened carefully to Tan Le's story of "Onihei chasing Tokujiro Matoto".

"Master Hasegawa Heizo led all the officials who were in charge of the Huofu Rogue Reform, and along the country roads, hunted down the notorious Tokujiro Matoto."

"Who is Tokujiro Mato?"

"As the name suggests, he is a master of swordsmanship who is good at using Shinto and has extremely superb swordsmanship!"

"It's a pity that this person's heart is not right, and he didn't use his superb swordsmanship on the right way."

"If you talk about today, which thief can beat the swordsman Tokujiro who is also a thief."

"That's probably the only way for the executioner Ichitosai, who committed the crime of killing the master last fall, to overpower the real sword Tokujiro."

"Matou Tokujiro is not only strong in swordsmanship, but also quite cunning!"

"His favorite tactic is to pretend to be an official post, pass through the checkpoints swaggeringly, then kill people and set fire all the way, from the northeast all the way south to Kanto."

"After learning that this murder demon had arrived in Kanto, our current chief of the firefighter reform-Hasegawa Hizo-sama, immediately set about organizing the encirclement and suppression of Tokujiro Matoto!"

"Who is Hasegawa Heizo?"

"Hisama Hasegawa, his real name is Xuanyi Hasegawa."

"It has only been a few years since he took over as Huofu Thief to change the position of chief, and he has arrested and brought a murderous culprit to justice!"

"It's like'Ooka Echizen' rebirth! It's called'Today Ooka'!"

"Feared by thieves all over the world, call it'Guiping'!"

"According to the rumors-in order to pursue Tokujiro Matoto, Hasegawa-sama mobilized nearly half of their official staff to change the fire to the thieves!"

"It took nearly a month and a half, Hasegawa-sama finally succeeded in tracking down the location of Tokujiro Matoto and pushed Tokujiro Matoto into a desperate situation!"

"Matou Tokujiro was chased all the way to a wooden bridge in the countryside."

"And the officials of the Huofu Thief Reformation have blocked the front and back ends of this wooden bridge long ago, making it difficult for Tokujiro Tokujiro to fly!"

"Seeing that he has no way to escape, Maida Tokujiro drew his sword, planning to do the final battle of the trapped beasts! Even if it is dead, he will have to pull a few officials from the fire to the thieves to change the back!"

"And Hasegawa Heizo-sama saw his attempt."

"So—he didn't let any of his subordinates go into battle."

"I pulled out the knife alone and stepped on the wooden bridge!"

Hearing a "pop", Tan Le raised his hand and patted the table.

He has already reached the climax of the story.

The audience in the audience pricked their ears attentively.

"Master Hasegawa Heizo, so alone came forward to confront Tokujiro Mato!"

"The swordsmanship used by Hasegawa Hiizo is the swordsmanship passed down from generation to generation by their Hasegawa family. It is a powerful swordsmanship with both offensive and defensive capabilities!"

"Hasegawa-sama and Tokujiro Mato are standing opposite each other with swords on the wooden bridge!"

"I saw Matoto Tokujiro let out a stern shout~www.ltnovel.com~ took the lead to kill Hasegawa-sama with a sword!"

"I'm a swordsman with average swordsmanship. Facing this slash by Mato Tokujiro, I'm afraid that he didn't even reflect the reaction, and his head fell to the ground!"

"But Hasegawa-sama does not dodge or hide!"

"I saw a flash of sword light twice!"

"The first sword light cut off the right hand of Tokujiro Matoto who was holding the sword!"

"The second sword light cut off the hamstring of Tokujiro Matoto's left foot!"

"With just two swords, Hasegawa-sama Heizo defeated the countless real sword Tokujiro and arrested the murderer!"

"The true sword Tokujiro, who did no evil, finally lost to the real "ghost"!"

"To blame, I can only blame him where he went badly. He came to Kanto!"
