I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Executioner Ichitosai-this name may not have spread throughout Japan. People in the remote Tohoku region and Kyushu region may not have heard of this person.

But this name has already spread throughout the Kinki region.

All the shogunate and the samurai of all the domains in the Kinki area knew that the Hirose domain had a demon.

"That is to say..." Oba murmured, "Is'Kihei' come to chase after'Executioner Ichidosesai'?"

"It should be." Sano nodded softly.

"I don't know if'Kihei' is getting along well..." Ohata muttered with a slightly disturbed tone.

"I heard that he is cruel to the bandits and friendly to the common people." Sano smiled. "So you can relax, you can get along with'Kihei' in a manner that is neither humble nor overbearing."

Just then—they heard the sound of horses hoofs on the horizon ahead.

"Here!" After hearing the gentle sound of horseshoes, Sano raised his eyebrows, and then quickly turned his head and shouted at the men behind him, "Get ready! Hasegawa-sama and they are here."

Hearing Sano's loud shout, everyone immediately became energetic.

They stood up straight and arranged their clothes.

The sound of horseshoes reaching the horizon changes from light to heavy at a very fast speed.

A dark spot gradually appeared on the horizon.

And this black spot emerged from the horizon little by little as the sound of horseshoes amplified.

In the end-this black spot was completely exposed from the horizon, revealing its complete appearance.

This black spot is a group of warriors riding fast horses.

The number is between 5 and 60 people.

All the members wore the iconic "black" team uniform.

The officers of the Huosu Thief Reformation rode on fast horses and stepped in the snow, and then slowly strangled the horses in front of Sano, Oba and the others, and all rolled over and dismounted.

And Sano, Oba and his party hurriedly led the men forward to greet them.

Sano showed a friendly smile that was neither humble nor overbearing, "It's really hard for you to travel a long distance here!"

The officials of the Huofu Thief Reformation moved away from each other.

Make way for a middle-aged man standing among them.

The middle-aged man with a faint smile on his face walked slowly toward Sano and his group along the path that the officials let out.

"Thank you all for welcoming." The middle-aged man's voice was a little low, and his tone was not hurried, "I am the firefighter changed commander-Hasegawa Heizo."

"Looking up to the daimyo." Sano said quickly, "I am the veteran of the Tatsuno clan-Sano Soken. This is Yuichi Obata..."

While introducing themselves to each other, Sano, Ohata, and the rest of the men behind them were all secretly looking at the famous "Kihei" that made the world's thieves feel terrified.

Not too tall.

The body is neither fat nor thin.

Some dark faces indicate that this person has been associated with the sun for a long time.

There are many signs of age-wrinkles on the face.

From the outside, he is about 40 years old. This is in line with the rumors that Sano and the others have heard.

According to rumors heard by Sano and the others, "Kihei" happened to be 45 years old this year.

Although the smile on his face is full of smiles, this smile also has a sense of distance.

Sano couldn't be more familiar with this kind of smile.

Those who need to please the people above and those who need to deal with the people below always have this kind of smile that can't find any mistakes on their faces.

"Guiping"'s appearance can only be regarded as ordinary, but his eyes are very brilliant.

"Guiping"'s gaze was like a treasure knife that hid his sharp edge.

When you are swept by his gaze, you will not feel how sharp his gaze is.

But you can feel it—the unfathomable power hidden in his not fierce gaze.

After the two parties made a brief introduction, Sano said:

"Master Hasegawa! We have arranged a residence and a banquet for you."

"Please don't worry-my feudal clan will do my best to cooperate with you in the arrest of the executioner Yidaozai!"

Hearing these words from Sano, Hasegawa's smile froze.

Then, the look on his face became weird.

Not only Hasegawa Heizo's face has become weird, but also the expressions on the faces of the officials behind Hasegawa Heizo have become weird.

After sensing the strangeness of Hasegawa and others, Sano asked blankly:

"Master Hasegawa, what's wrong?"

"'Hangman Ichitosai'?" Hasegawa wondered.

"Huh?" Sano's brows frowned because of confusion, "Master Hasegawa, you came to my domain, aren't you here to chase after the executioner Ichidosesai?"

"...Sano-sama, it seems...you have some misunderstandings about us."

The speaker was a young man standing behind Hasegawa.

Through the self-introduction of the two parties just now, Sano recognized this young man. He remembered that this young man seemed to be called Imai Cheng.

After Imai's voice fell, Hasegawa also continued:

"We are not here to chase'Ichitosai'." Hasegawa said solemnly, "We came to Guifan this time to chase'Buddha'!"

...

...

2 days later.

Somewhere in Tatsuno-fan.

call--!

Another gust of wind mixed with snow hit Ogata.

"How the weather changes will change..."

Ogata complained with a wry smile, and tightened his clothes and the hat on top of his head.

The sun was still shining early this morning.

As a result, before noon, the sky suddenly became overcast and there was a heavy blizzard.

This kind of weather is not suitable for long journeys no matter what.

However-there is no shelter around.

So Ogata could only stand against the heavy snow, walk straight ahead, try his luck, and see if he could find a good place to avoid the wind and snow in front of him.

Ogata feels his head is heavy now.

Because the hat on top of his head is full of snow at this time~www.ltnovel.com~ Raise your hand and pull it on the hat, then you can take a lot of snow.

Then it didn’t take long before the hat was cleaned, and it was filled with snow again...

So Ogata doesn't bother to care about the snow squeezed on the hat now.

After feeling that the hat was too heavy, he shook his head.

If you shake your head a little, you can drop a lot of snow from the hat.

As Ogata walked forward against the wind and snow, he suddenly noticed that there was a very abrupt black in the white snow in front of him.

And from the point of view of size, the size of this abrupt "black" is not small.

What is this—holding this thought, Ogata walked slowly towards this "black" piece.

It wasn't until he got closer that Ogata discovered the true face of this "black"-a man squatting on the ground.
