I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

He clearly showed such a brilliant smile, but what he said was something that didn't match Genichi's current expression at all...

"...Yuan Da, are you serious...?"

"Of course it's serious." Yuan shook the tengu mask in his hand. "In order to avoid being seen by unrelated passers-by, I even asked Shimada to buy this tengu mask for me."

"...No wonder you suddenly asked Shimada to buy so many toys for you, because you wanted to use other toys as a cover to buy this mask..."

Speaking of this, Ogata sighed lightly.

"Yuan Da Ren, your idea of ​​hunting down enemies here shouldn't have Ms. Kinoshita's consent, right?"

"If I get Xiaolin's consent, I don't need to be so surreptitiously planning to turn the window in the middle of the night." Yuan looked straightforward and confident, "Xiao Lin is sometimes very long-winded, if I let Xiao Lin know I actually intend to take the initiative to meet those smokers of mine, and I will definitely have to teach me for a long time."

"Gentleman, my thoughts are the same as Kinoshita-san." Ogata scratched his neck, "I think you should continue to be patient."

"Our primary goal now is to defeat Shiranui."

"So more is worse than less..."

Ogata wanted to continue talking, Genichi raised his right index finger and shook it left and right.

"Ogata-kun, don't you understand this?"

"You should know that too? I have a **** feud in Shiranui."

Yuanyi raised his left hand and stroked his left eye vertically.

"When I was young, I experienced a death fight with the current 17th-generation Balrog, and blinded his left eye. This is a personal vengeance."

"Ten years ago, Wind Demon and Shiranui were torn apart. When Wind Demon was about to be besieged and killed by Balrog, I also came forward to mediate."

"Causing Shiranui to miss the opportunity to kill the wind demon who attacked their base area alone and brought them a great humiliation. This is a common vengeance."

"The addition of the two hatreds made the fellow of the Flame Demon hate me to the bone."

While listening attentively, Ogata nodded from time to time.

Ogata has heard of these two hatreds in Genichi and Shiranui.

The former was learned from the cheat book "The Two Swords of No Me", and the latter was learned from the mouth of Feng Demon when he was healing at Feng Mo's house at the end of the "Battle of Nijo Castle".

"It's unclear whether the Balrog knows that many of my enemies are in Edo."

"Just assume that the Balrog knows that there are many enemies of mine in Edo."

"Ogata-kun, think about it."

"If you were the Balrog who hated Kinoshita Genichi, you learned that there are many guys in Edo who also hate Kinoshita Genichi. What would you plan to do?"

Hearing this, Ogata raised his eyebrows lightly.

Although Genichi hadn't finished speaking at this time, Ogata had already understood Genichi's meaning at this time.

"Are you thinking about working with these guys who also hate Kinoshita Genichi to the bone?" Yuanichi grinned, "As you just said, our primary goal now is to defeat Shiranui. "

"For us whose ultimate goal is to defeat Shiranui, my enemies who might fight alongside Shiranui are potential enemies."

"So, before we launch a general attack on Shiranui, it is wise to kill our enemies first, don't you think it is a wise move?"

After listening to Genichi's words silently, Ogata fell silent.

Ogata had to admit—Genichi made a lot of sense.

His heart that didn't agree with Yuan Yi to go and do nothing was obviously shaken.

While Ogata was still thinking, Genichi put the tengu mask back on his face.

"By the way, Ogata-kun, just follow me to meet my enemies."

"Huh?" Astonishment appeared on Ogata's face.

Genichi's invitation was so sudden that Ogata couldn't help but be stunned.

"If I am alone, with one enemy and many, maybe some people will escape."

"It will be much easier if you are the coordinator."

"How? Do you want to come with me?"

Ogata was stunned for a while at the unexpected invitation that Genichi threw.

The already shaken heart became even more shaken.

Accompanied by Genichi, you can definitely get a lot of experience points.

The experience value has always been very attractive to Ogata.

And Genichi's conversation still didn't stop.

"If you come with me, I can also teach you some sword-swinging skills by the way."

...

...

"Huh... the wind is so big..."

As Ogata said, he tightened Haori's upper body.

The evening breeze blowing towards Ogata like a sharp blade reminds Ogata all the time—it is the time when there is a big temperature difference between day and night.

In order to fight the night wind, Ogata is also fully armed: hakama, kimono, haori, and cloth socks are all neatly dressed.

Just now, Genichi and Ogata jumped out from the windows of their room one after another.

At this moment, the two of them are standing on a street where there is no one on the front, back, left or right.

Now converted into the earth's time unit, it is probably approaching 24 o'clock in the evening.

At this point in time, with the exception of very few areas such as Yoshihara, the rest of Edo was completely dark, and no one else was hanging around on the street.

"Let's go, Ogata-kun."

Genichi's voice was a little dull because of the tengu mask that just covered the entire face and showed only one pair of eyes.

"Go and buy you a mask that can cover your entire face. If you let passers-by see your face while cleaning up those ‘rats’, it’s troublesome."

Compared with Ogata, Genichi's dress is obviously quite cool.

She was still wearing the thin white bathrobe, and her feet were neither shoes nor socks.

Looking at Genichi's cool dress, Ogata couldn't help saying:

"Yuan Da, does it really matter if you dress like this? Be careful of catching a cold, at least put on a pair of shoes."

"Hahahaha. No, no." Yuanyi waved his hand boldly, "This little wind is just enough to sober me up."

"The calluses on the soles of my feet are thick, so it doesn't matter if I wear shoes or not."

——That's also...

Ogata nodded while saying this in his heart.

Just as Yuanyi said, the calluses on the soles of his feet were thick.

The soles are thick enough to remind Ogata of Western boots.

It's thick enough that the soles of two feet are slapped together, and it can make a "bang bang bang" sound...

Jian Yuanyi seems to be really not afraid of the cold, and doesn't want to wear shoes, Xu convenient no longer talk nonsense, and cut the topic back to business.

"Yuan Da, how do you plan to find those'rats' in Edo, which has a population of over one million?"

It is always a bit inconvenient to always call "Yuan Da Ren's enemy" or "my enemy".

In order to make it easier to call them, Ogata duo gave Genichi's enemies a nickname: mice.

"Since I have decided to clean up these ‘rats’ one by one, I must also know where to go to meet them most easily."

Genichi grinned.

"Let's go to Yoshihara."

"Yoshihara?" Ogata's voice involuntarily lost control because he was too surprised.

"Ogata-kun, have you forgotten? There are a lot of'rats' going in and out of Yoshihara now, planning to look for me in Yoshiwara, or collect my information."

"So we must be right to go to Yoshihara!"

Hearing this reminder from Genichi, Ogata remembered—it seemed that there was such a thing.

Genichi learned from his old acquaintance Shiro Hebei that many "rats" came and went to Yoshihara in order to find Genichi Kinoshita, and then learned that many of his enemies gathered in Edo.

"I just came back from Yoshiwara, but am I going back to Yoshiwara again..." Ogata couldn't help smiling wryly.

"Let's go, Ogata-kun."

I don't know if it was because of the long-lost outside air, Yuan Yi seemed to be quite excited.

"I don't know where the nearest shop selling masks is... I knew that when Shimada bought this tengu mask for me just now, by the way, I would like to ask where Shimada sells masks."

After a fierce ideological struggle, Ogata decided to turn a blind eye to Genichi's outing.

Oh no. Using the phrase "open one eye and close one eye" to describe it is slightly inaccurate.

Ogata is not "opening one eye and closing one eye", but directly committed Genichi's accomplice.

Ogata understands that Gen's invitation to him was in large part because La Ogata went into the water, so that Ogata and him became grasshoppers on the same rope, and it was logical to achieve the purpose of sealing.

Although it was known that Genichi invited him, a large part of the reason was to pull him into the water, Ogata decided to jump into this pit.

It can be considered for several reasons.

On the one hand, I feel that Yuanyi's idea of ​​killing potential enemies is very reasonable and worth trying. And also get a wave of experience points by the way.

On the other hand, he was very interested in Genichi's swordsmanship. By the way, I saw with his own eyes how strong Genichi, known as the "Juggernaut", possesses.

Although I knew Genichi for a long time, Ogata had never seen Genichi personally attack the enemy.

If you say you are not interested in Genichi's actual combat ability and Genichi's guidance, then it must be false.

Because of these various reasons, Ogata decided to hunt down the "rats" together with Genichi, and make a fuss together.

Fortunately for the two of them, they could still find a shop selling masks that was still open in the middle of the night.

Ogata didn't care what mask he wore to hide his identity, so he just bought a white fox mask at random.

After purchasing the masks for concealing their identities, "Tengu" and "White Fox" carefully avoided passers-by who accidentally appeared on the street while approaching Yoshihara...

...

...

When Ogata and Genichi slipped outside along the window--

Edo, in the inn where Ogata and the others live——

Mamiya, with his cheeks facing the ceiling, closed his eyes, and constantly breathing long and regular breathing, opened his eyes suddenly when Ogata and Gen jumped out of the room, and then sat up from the bed. Come.

When Ogata and Genichi jumped out of the window just now, they did not forget to close the window again.

Mamiya, who sat up from the bed, showed a weird expression while whispering in a somewhat helpless tone of doubt:

"What are they two doing..."

...

...

Ogata and Genichi did not enter Yoshihara, but lurked outside Yoshihara's gate.

Ogata and Genichi hid in a thick tree outside the gate of Yoshihara, monitoring the only entrance to Yoshihara.

Although it is too late, there are still many men and women entering and exiting through the sleeve doors on both sides of the gate.

Looking at the gate of Yoshiwara who had just left and then returned not far away, the expression on Ogata's face was very complicated.

"Gen one man." Ogata whispered, "Although there are indeed many'rats' who come and go in and out of Yoshiwara in order to find you and your information, it is so late now, can we really run into'rats'? "

"And do you remember who are'rats'?"

Compared with the number of tourists entering and leaving Yoshihara every day, the number of "rats" is definitely a drop in the bucket.

To squat outside the gate of Yoshihara until the "rats" that just enter or leave Yoshihara are definitely a small probability event.

"Although I have forgotten some of the enemy's faces, I still remember some of the enemy's faces."

After all, Genichi suddenly stretched his right hand forward.

"Aha, caught it."

While talking, Yuan Yi stretched out his right hand.

A bee that had been pinched to death by Yuanyi was lying quietly on Yuanyi's right palm.

"It just so happens that my mouth is a little greedy."

After all, Genichi threw the bee in his palm into his mouth and chewed.

Seeing Genichi's shocking operation, Ogata's eyes widened directly.

"Yuan Da, shouldn't be a bee eaten raw? Its thorns can't be touched randomly."

As far as Ogata knows, the stings of bees seem to be poisonous, and the pain is unbearable if they are stabbed.

And Yuanyi just stuffed the bee into his mouth like this...

"Unlucky, this bee didn't collect honey, it's not sweet."

While vomiting the bee's sting, Yuan continued to say in a vague tone:

"Indeed, the sting of a bee can't be touched indiscriminately."

"The first time I ate bees before, I was tortured to death."

"But then my body seems to have adapted to the toxins of bees, no matter how I eat bees, I won't have any discomfort anymore."

Speaking of this, Genichi's face showed a faint reminiscence.

"Take bees as food-this trick was taught me by the wind demon."

"We used to have some accidents and didn't even have money to eat, and then Feng Mo taught me something to eat raw without dying."

"That's really a song and tearful time..."

Looking at Genichi with a reminiscence on his face, Ogata asked back:

"Yuan Da, your relationship with Master Wind Demon seems to be very good."

"He even did not hesitate to pay the price of forge feud with Shiranui, and mediate the struggle between Shiranui and Fengmozhi, and saved Master Fengmo's life."

When the "Battle of Nijo Castle" was over and Ogata was recovering from Fengma's home, he heard from Fengma that Fengma alone attacked the base in Shiranui, and that Genichi used his own power to mediate the war between the two ninjas. 2 magnificent stories.

"Wind Demon and I are old friends."

The reminiscence on Yuan Yi's face became stronger.

"Ogata-kun, you may not know that when Feng Demon named him the new Feng Demon, his original name was Kanami."

"We knew him even when his name was only Kom Shim."

"As for what you just said, ‘the price of feuding death with Shiranui’..."

Speaking of this, Genichi's eyes flashed a little meaningful.

"Enmity with Shiranui is nothing at all."

"I have sinned in my life with a much stronger force than Shiranui. There are so many."

"Forget it, don't talk about these old and old things, let's talk about some interesting things. Ogata-kun, look over there."

Yoshihara Gate, who was not far away, snorted.

Ogata, who thought it was a "rat" finally appeared, hurriedly looked at Yoshihara's gate.

As a result, only one woman who was about 30 years old and exuding mature charm was holding a big cloth bag, walking along the sleeve door on the right side of the Yoshiwara gate, and leaving Yoshiwara quickly.

"As far as I guess, this woman should have a pretty good background."

Genichi talked freely.

"Although he is wearing ordinary clothes, his feet are white and clean. Only women with good family backgrounds have such feet."

"...You told me to see that woman just to say this?" Several black lines appeared on Ogata's face.

"This is a small game I used to play to kill time." Yuan Yidao said, "According to a person's appearance and clothes, I can guess what the other person's family is and what work they do."

After that, Yuan Yi took a deep breath.

"It's really more fun to hop around outside than to drink in the room without doing anything."

Ogata (staring at...): "Gen one... Let me confirm that the reason you decided to annihilate the'rats' one by one is to eliminate our potential enemies, not to disturb them when you go out to play. Kill the guys... right?"

"Of course I want to kill all our potential enemies!" Yuan said without thinking about it with an awe-inspiring appearance.

Although Genichi said so, Ogata still stared at Genichi with weird eyes mixed with a bit of suspiciousness...

While Ogata and Genichi talked, another group of people walked out of Yoshihara.

Seeing that someone came out of Yoshihara again, Ogata couldn't care about continuing to look at Genichi suspiciously, and followed Genichi toward Yoshihara's sleeve door.

Genichi raised his eyebrows after seeing the new group of people coming out of Yoshihara.

"Ogata-kun, it seems that we have not been wasting time in this place so far."

...

...

Baoji is very depressed now.

Tonight, he led his six men to Yoshihara to listen to and collect information on Genichi Kinoshita.

However, no matter how he sniffed, there was no news about Genichi Kinoshita.

Although there are many old men who go in and out of Yoshihara, none of them are Genichi Kinoshita.

Tonight is the time when the "Imperial Test Combination" essay test will be released.

In order to determine whether Genichi Kinoshita came to Edo to participate in this "Private Examination", Baoji just took a look at the list of those who passed the literary examination-but he did not see the name Genichi Kinoshita.

If you didn't see Kinoshita Genichi's name, there were only three possibilities: Yuanyi did not come to participate, Yuanyi participated in the pseudonym, and Yuanyi participated but failed the literary examination.

Today is the 16th day that Pokichi brought his men to Edo.

In the past half a month, Baoji did not slack off for a day, and ran around every day to listen to Kinoshita Genichi's intelligence.

However, until now, there is still no information about Genichi Kinoshita...

Maybe it’s dissatisfied with the days when I don’t know when it’s the beginning. When I just came out of Yoshihara, a subordinate behind Baoji said in a tired tone:

"Master Hokichi... That Kinoshita Genichi didn't come to Edo at all, right?"

Hearing this question from his subordinates, Bao Ji couldn't help being silent.

It was because he felt that the event of "The Imperial Examination" was very likely to attract Kinoshita Genichi who was extremely obsessed with swordsmanship, and Bao Ji led his only six subordinates to Edo vigorously.

So many days have passed, and no information about Genichi Kinoshita has been collected, so Baoji couldn't help but mutter in his heart: Did Kinoshita really not come to Edo?

After being silent for a while, Bao Ji said solemnly:

"Stay here in Edo for another half a month."

"If there is still no news from Kinoshita Genichi, we will go back."

The hatred of Genichi Kinoshita made Hokichi reluctant to leave Edo until there was no hope at all.

Baoji will never forget the night 8 years ago-Kinoshita Genichi broke into their stockade and cut off almost all of Baoji's subordinates.

Fortunately, the fighting of his subordinates helped Baoji gain time to escape, and Baoji escaped Genichi Kinoshita's butcher knife.

The Hokichi family, a famous bandit in the Akita area, was completely destroyed because of Kinoshita Genichi.

In the past 8 years, Baoji's hatred of Yuanyi has not only not diminished, but has increased day by day.

In order to take revenge, Bao Ji has collected information about Yuanyi from all over the past 8 years, while preparing a weapon that can defeat Yuanyi.

It was late at night, and after leaving Yoshihara, the number of figures Baoji and the others saw was less than five fingers.

Bao Ji is no longer the prestigious bandit leader, so in order to save money, the hotel he and his subordinates live in is the kind of cheaper hotel located in a remote area.

At this point in time, even that kind of avenue that would be very lively in the daytime is almost unoccupied, let alone a remote area.

After Bao Ji and others turned on a trail, the sight that appeared in front of Bao Ji and others made Bao Ji and his men have to stop.

At the end of the trail under their feet, two people stood.

Two people dressed very strangely.

One of them was dressed normally, and the clothes on his upper body and lower body were well-dressed.

And the other person's dress was a little abnormal in this night when the breeze was rustling—only a thin white yukata was worn, and he didn't even wear shoes.

Although one of them was dressed normally, both of them were weird in Bao Ji's eyes-because they both wore a mask on their faces.

One wears a tengu mask and the other wears a white fox mask.

"Who are you?" Bao Ji said solemnly.

While questioning these two weird people in such a deep voice, Bao Ji and the six subordinates behind him all put their hands on the handles of the sabers on their waists.

"Well... if I remember correctly, you should be the bandit leader that I wiped out a few years ago-Baoji, right?"

"Tengu" said abruptly.

Listening to the voice of "Tengu", Bao Ji's face changed in an instant, and then gritted his teeth and screamed:

"Genichi Kinoshita!!"

...

...

After pointing out that the group of people who had just walked out of Yoshiwara were "rats", Genichi led Ogata to follow behind them, looking for the right time to ambush, while introducing Ogata who the group of "rats" were. ——Genichi, the bandit remnant party that was wiped out in the Akita area about 8 years ago.

Eight years ago, Yuanichi went to Akita for some reason, and learned that a group of bandits named "Hoji's family" occupied the top of the mountain and did evil.

Disgusting with these people who burned, killed, looted, and did everything, Genichi killed them by himself.

Because it happened 8 years ago, Genichi still remembers the face of the bandit leader who escaped.

After Ogata and Genichi appeared chicly, Baoji immediately showed a hysterical appearance.

"Quick! You guys!" Bao Ji untied the thing wrapped in thick steps from his back, and shouted to the six men behind him, "Help me earn time!"

Baoji now has a lot of doubts.

For example: Kinoshita Genichi was actually in Edo? Why did he stop in front of me? Has he been following me just now...

Although there are countless questions, Baosheng has no time to ask them one by one now.

He has only one thought now: kill this **** who has brought him to the present level!

The six subordinates behind Bao Ji were all survivors who had escaped the Yuan Yi Butcher eight years ago.

Now that the enemy appeared in front of them on their own initiative, the six people also made their faces calm, pulled out their sabers from their waists, and then screamed while killing Ogata and Gen.

"Ogata-kun, leave it to you."

Genichi raised his hand and patted Ogata's shoulder.

"Huh?" Ogata turned to look at Genichi, his eyes that were only exposed outside the mask flashed a frightened look, "I am alone?"

Ogata looked at Genichi's gaze, as if saying to Genichi: Are you kidding me? ! Will you teach me some skills in swinging the sword? Let me fight, what do you teach? !

Genichi, who understood the meaning of Ogata's eyes, patted Ogata's shoulder again, and put on a straightforward and confident appearance.

"Their boss will be handed over to me. His little brother will be handed over to you. By the way, let me see with my own eyes how good you are."

The 6 people have already been killed~www.ltnovel.com~ Ogata has no time to argue with Kinoshita.

The eyes exposed outside the mask stared at the 6 people who were only a few steps away, and then stretched both the left and right hands to the waist, pulling out Da Shi Tian and Da Zi Zai.

Since I came to Edo, I haven't had much opportunity to use the second sword style without self.

Ogata intends to take this opportunity to regain the feel of the second sword style.

After these 6 people entered his attack range, Xu Jian took advantage of his height, arm length and long sword, and took the lead in attacking.

With only 2 dollars, he brought down the two closest to him.

And the system prompts continued to play in Ogata's mind.
