I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Chapter 402: Matsudaira's letter: "Mashima is my guest"

Time rewinds back not long ago--

The meeting place that Takigawa and Uesaka and the rest of their friends had agreed upon was the gate of Yoshihara.

When Takigawa and Uesaka both arrived at the gate of Yoshihara, the rest of the friends were already there.

When the 8th people including Takikawa arrived, Uesaka walked ahead to lead the way, leading everyone to the Yangmei House where Uesaka had booked a room.

Under Uesaka’s intentional arrangement, those who participated in this evening’s banquet with the sole purpose of helping Takigawa Zhen were all Takigawa’s friends on weekdays.

Everyone was chatting while walking on the way to the Yangmei House.

Listening to the laughter of friends around him, Takikawa felt that the haze that had haunted him since last night was slightly dissipated.

"Look! There is Yangmei House!" Uesaka who was walking in front suddenly pointed forward.

"Oh! What a magnificent tea house!" said a friend in Takikawa walking on the right back of Uesaka. "It turns out that Yoshihara is such a magnificent tea house!"

Among the people present, a few did not come to Yoshiwara very often, so they didn't know much about the details in Yoshiwara.

"The reason why Yoshihara is called the'Edo's City That Never Sleeps' is not just because there are three thousand Yuu Girls in it." Uesaka responded with a half-joking tone, and then accelerated his pace a bit.

However, at this moment.

Suddenly a discordant voice rang from behind Takikawa and others.

"Huh? Isn't this Takigawa Heiichiro from the Takigawa family?"

As soon as this discordant voice sounded from behind him, the expression on Takigawa's face froze directly, then he stopped his feet, frowned slightly, and turned to look behind him.

As for Uesaka and the others, they stopped one after another.

Behind Takigawa and others, three well-dressed samurai walked slowly in the direction of Takigawa.

The head of the three well-dressed samurai is very young, with a neatly shaved head of the moon, and although the facial features are ordinary, but the eyes are very sharp.

This person, like Takikawa, is a Kibmoto samurai.

However, the rank of his family is much higher than Takikawa.

He is the eldest son of the Miyoshita family who has a salary of 7000 stone years-Miyoshita Kyouichiro.

In addition to the amazing family income, the identities of the relatives in the palace are equally amazing.

The grandfather of Miyashita is the current lord of the Aizu clan.

The elders of Miyashita also held important positions in the shogunate.

It's a pity-although the family of Miyashita is strong and has a lot of relatives with prominent identities, Miyashita herself is an embroidered pillow.

Unlearning and skillless, I am in love with a land like Yoshihara.

Looking at Miyashita, who was slowly approaching him, Takikawa's brows became more frowning.

His relationship with Miyashita is very bad.

Miyashita, who is unlearned and skillless, is the type of person Takikawa looks down on most.

Miyashita also disliked Nobun Nobu's Takikawa.

The two had learned Swordsmanship without Exodus in the same dojo. It was at that time that the two knew each other, and it was also at that time that the two became displeased with each other.

"Unexpectedly, I could see you, a busy person like Takigawa, in a place like Yoshihara." Miyashita said in a strange tone of yin and yang, "Aren't you going to study or practice sword tonight?"

"What am I going to do, what does it matter to you?" Takikawa said coldly.

"It's really none of my business."

Miyashita shrugged, and then said in a strange tone of yin and yang.

"I just care about you."

"After all, you can't even get into the top 10 of the literary examinations of the "Imperial Examination", so I am very worried whether you have neglected to study."

"Takikawa-kun, don't be too addicted to having fun, and neglect your study of Wentao and Martial Arts."

As soon as Miyashita's voice fell, Takigawa, and the surrounding Uesaka and others' faces suddenly changed.

Takikawa squeezed his naturally lowered hands: "Huh! I can't get into the top 10 of the'Private Examination' essay test, so what? If you take part in the'Private Examination', I'm afraid it is even the essay test. Can't make it!"

Miyashita only shrugged his shoulders at Takikawa's counterattack, with a look of "indifferent":

"I admit it, if I participate in the'Prince Examination', I will definitely not even be able to pass the literary examination."

"But whether I can pass the literary test, and whether you Takikawa can enter the top 10 literary test, is there any inevitable connection?"

"Whether I can pass the literary test or not, it is a fact that Takikawa can't even get into the top 10."

"I've heard that before the results of the literary examination were released, you were full of confidence and felt that you would definitely get the first place in the literary examination, and you could get into the top 10 no matter what."

The color of mockery on Miyashita's face grew stronger.

"I've always been curious, Takikawa-kun, so confident you found out last night that you didn't even make the top 10 literary exams. What was your mood?"

Takikawa's face turned from white to purple, and then from purple to black.

Seeing the sudden change of Takikawa's face, Miyashita seemed to have seen some wonderful show, chuckled a few times, and then led the two attendants behind him towards the depths of Yoshihara.

Looking at the back of Miyashita, the first thought that appeared in Takigawa's mind at this time was: drew a knife and chopped off the **** who insulted him.

And Takikawa's hands did start to act as he thought and wanted—the left hand was raised, pressing the sheath of the knife, and the right hand was raised, holding the handle of the knife.

But as soon as the thought of "cutting off Miyoshita" emerged from Takikawa's mind, it was dispelled by Takikawa's reason.

As this thought dissipated, a faint trace of fear flashed past Takikawa's eyes.

Although Takikawa is so angry that he feels that the blood is about to rush through his forehead, he has not lost his proper sense.

Takikawa knows exactly what the consequences would be if he cut off the son of Miyoshita, who was also Hanamoto.

The shogunate will not forgive this kind of Kakimoto's act of drawing swords, and their Takikawa family will be deprived of their status as Kakimoto-this is the lightest punishment.

Maybe Takikawa will be asked to cut his belly and apologize.

There was also a trace of sane Takikawa who resisted the urge to draw a sword, and was ready to go forward and discuss the theory with Miyashita.

But Uesaka stretched out his hand at this time and pressed Takigawa's shoulder.

"Takikawa, ignore him." Uesaka said in a deep voice, seeing what Takigawa was planning to do. "That guy in Miyashita is a rascal. Even if you quarrel with him, he will only spoil him."

The rest of Takigawa's friends also stepped forward at this time to comfort and persuade Takigawa.

Listening to the relief and persuasion from his friends, Takikawa took a deep breath.

"...Let's go" Takikawa said solemnly, "Let's go into the bayberry house and drink the bar."

Seeing that Takikawa gave up to fight with Miyashita, Uesaka looked happy, and then nodded vigorously.

The group speeded up their pace and entered the Yangmei House, and then under the guidance of the Yangmei House's hand, into the room booked in Shangsaka.

From entering the bayberry house to entering the pre-booked rooms, each seated in each room, Uesaka paid attention to Takigawa's expression throughout the whole process.

Takikawa's face... To give a vivid example, it's like eating a pile of shit. His face was originally fair, as black as coal.

After entering the room and sitting down, he kept drinking the sake he had just served.

Looking at the ugly face of Takikawa sitting next to him, Uesaka sighed silently in his heart, and then said loudly to the other friends sitting around:

"Everyone, why don't we invite the Kabuki to come and join us!"

As soon as Uesaka's proposal was made, he immediately received a response from the people around him.

"Oh oh!! I agree!"

"That's a good idea! If you don't invite the kabuki to come over to sing a few songs and dance a few dances at the banquet, I always feel that something is missing."

"I don't know if there is any Kabuki available now..."

...

With the exception of Takikawa, everyone has already spoken and agreed.

"Takikawa." Uesaka asked. "What do you think?"

"Whatever." After Takikawa spit out the word coldly, with his face still gloomy, he continued to drink to himself.

...

...

"Master Uesaka." Lai Jiu squeezed a flattering smile at Uesaka in front of him. "Thank you very much for coming to our store tonight!"

After that, Lai Jiucha bowed deeply in front of Uesaka.

"Lai Jiu, help us arrange some Kabuki." Uesaka nodded to show that after receiving Lai Jiu's salute, he bluntly stated his intentions.

The reason why Uesaka chose to hold a banquet at the Yangmei House tonight is because he knows Lai Jiu of the Yangmei House. There is an acquaintance here, and setting up a banquet can save a lot of troublesome processes, and by the way can also cheer up friends.

Lai Jiu's position in the Yangmei House is roughly similar to that of a manager, who belongs to the management.

After leaving the room, Uesaka directly approached Lai Jiu and asked Lai Jiu to help arrange Kabuki.

"This..." Lai Jiu was embarrassed. "We have a lot of guests at Yangmei House tonight, so... I don't know if there is any Kabuki still available."

Hearing Lai Jiu's words, Uesaka's brows frowned.

Uesaka's temporary intention to invite Kabuki to join the fun was purely to make Takikawa, who had just been mercilessly mocked by Miyashita, be a little bit happy and cheer up.

Watching singing and dancing is a major hobby of Takigawa, so Uesaka wanted to give it to him.

"Lai Jiu, can't you think of a way?" Uesaka's tone was a little more serious and unpleasant.

"This..." Lai Jiu smiled bitterly and nodded, "Master Uesaka, I know, I will do my best to help you arrange it."

"Hmm. As soon as possible."

After all, Uesaka left Lai Jiu's field of vision without looking back and returned to the room.

After Uesaka left, Lai Jiu seemed to let out a sigh of relief.

...

...

After Uesaka left, Lai Jiu hurriedly summoned his subordinates and asked them to arrange for Kabuki to come.

In Yoshihara, there are not only wandering girls, but also kabuki who do not sell themselves.

Some wealthy tea houses and Yunv’s houses even have a group of kabuki performers with good skills-such as Yangmei House.

There are nearly 60 kabuki performers in the bayberry house.

The subordinates who were sent by Lai Jiu to arrange Kabuki soon returned.

But the news he brought back brought Lai Jiu's face straight down.

"What? Basically all the Kabuki have been hired out?"

"Yes, yes." Lai Jiu's subordinates nodded quickly, "There are so many guests tonight. Our kabukis are basically all invited, and only these people are left..."

Rai Kou's subordinates appeared in the names of Kabuki who are still available.

After hearing the names of the available kabukis from his subordinates, Lai Jiu yelled in angrily:

"Isn't this a lot of people have free time?"

"But...these Kabuki who are still free are basically newcomers...have no experience in acting."

Lai Jiu knew the names of these people just reported by his subordinates.

Most of them are young people hired by Yangmei House only recently.

In terms of strength, they still have some strength.

But they are still too young. They don't perform many times in front of others. They are basically a group of people with strength but no performance experience.

"What's wrong with the newcomer?" Lai Jiu said in a stern tone, "In all walks of life, who didn't start with a newcomer? As long as you perform a few times, the newcomer can become an old man? Is it possible to achieve because they are a newcomer and never Let them perform? Stop talking nonsense, go and arrange for them to go to Master Uesaka's room."

...

...

When the food and a new batch of drinks were served, the kabuki were on the spot.

There are 8 people in total, 3 men and 5 women-3 men and 2 women are responsible for playing musical instruments, and the other 3 women are responsible for dancing.

Food, drinks, and Kabuki were all present, and the banquet naturally officially began.

With the singing and dancing of the kabuki, this small room gradually became lively.

The food and drinks are delicious.

The musicians played hard.

The maiko also danced very hard.

However-there was one person who never looked up at the Kabuki's cabaret performance.

Since entering the room, Takikawa has been sullen, head down, and drinking.

Even though the song and dance performance he usually likes was going on in front of him, he didn't have the interest to look up.

The scene of Miyashita mocking him just now kept flashing in Takikawa's mind.

Thinking of Miyashita's mockery of him just now, she was holding the wine glass, and she tightened it unconsciously.

Even though he had drunk a lot of alcohol, his face turned red, and his head was dizzy, Takikawa did not feel that his resentment had been reduced at all.

While feeling resentful, Takikawa also felt...very wronged.

He didn't understand why he didn't even have the top 10 literary exams.

Regardless of the question, he should have answered flawlessly. Why did Goro Mashima get the first name in the literary examination, not him.

Rage and grievance dominate Takigawa’s brain, causing Takigawa’s head and chest to swell and aches. Putting his fingers on the temples, he can clearly feel the blood vessels beating "suddenly", only to keep moving into his mouth. Drinking water can be a little more comfortable.

...

...

The banquet was so silent, and more than a quarter of an hour passed (a quarter of an hour in ancient Japan was half an hour).

Watching the singing and dancing performance for such a long time made everyone except Takikawa very happy.

After performing for such a long time, the kabukis—especially the three young girls who were in charge of dancing, who were only about fifteen years old, all showed obvious fatigue.

Takikawa's seats are typical of the kind of row seats-divided into two rows on the left and right, two rows of people sitting on the floor facing each other.

The three maiko danced in the middle of the two rows.

However, at this moment.

It happened unexpectedly.

One of the three maikos, holding a fan in one hand, lowering his body, and dancing slowly, I don’t know if it’s because of a long dance that I feel exhausted, or because of a simple mistake, holding the fan and blowing his sleeves. It's a little bigger.

The clothes they use for dancing have longer sleeves.

The long sleeves accidentally swept the wine bottle placed on the Takigawa table.

The wine bottle was poured, and the remaining wine in the bottle flowed out and fell on the tatami mat on the right side of the table.

And the liquor that flowed out was also spilled on the handle of Takigawa's knife placed on the tatami mat on the right.

The maiko was frightened by her mistake.

And Takikawa's expression changed rapidly in a very short time.

The originally extremely gloomy face was taken aback for a moment.

Then use black to change to black and red.

Before the maiko who made the mistake had time to apologize, Takikawa roared first:

"You bastard!!"

Takikawa's roar was very loud, and he felt the whole room vibrate slightly because of his roar.

Takikawa's emotions tonight are like a gunpowder keg that is burning at one point.

The mistake made by this maiko successfully ignited the powder keg.

Takikawa grabbed the knife beside him, and then drew the knife out of its sheath.

Looking at Takikawa, who had taken the sword out of its sheath, the maiko who had made a mistake sat slumped in fright, and the rest of the kabuki were also frightened by the changes in front of him and wondered what to do.

"Takigawa! Wait!" Uesaka hurriedly got up and stopped Takigawa.

Also frightened were Uesaka and others.

The rest, including Uesaka, stood up and stopped Takigawa.

Because of being too anxious, some people accidentally knocked down the table full of hearty meals under their feet.

The horrified Kabuki, the knocked down table, the food and drinks spilled everywhere... the room that was clean and lively, instantly became a mess.

Takikawa's shout just now successfully attracted almost the entire Yangmei House staff.

The door of the room was quickly opened, and the employees of the Yangmei House holding various weapons and the club servants who were sent to support tonight all rushed over.

Among these people who heard the sound, Takikawa saw one of the culprits who had caused his anger since last night.

"Majima Goro...?!" Takikawa frowned and gritted his teeth.

...

...

Shiro Biebe now only felt cold sweat constantly coming out of his forehead.

He had the honor to meet Laozhong, but that was also a long time ago.

Looking at Matsudaira Matshinbu who suddenly came to Yoshihara, Shiro Hebei only felt like sitting on pins and needles. I don't know why Matsudaira Matshinbu, who was always well-organized, appeared in this little Yoshihara.

After Matshinori took off the hat on his head, his little surname, Tachibana, who was sitting behind Matshinori, also took off the hat on his head.

"I don't remember when I came to Yoshihara last time."

Masahiro Matsuba put the hat in his hand on the tatami mat on one side, and said in a tone like a casual chat with others, Asashiro Hebei said.

"Yoshihara is still the same. At night, the light emitted can illuminate the entire sky."

"...Old Master." Shiro Bingbei, who leaned down and lays his palms on the ground, swallowed and summoned up the courage to ask, "I wonder why you are here?"

Matsuhira Masanbu just said that he came to Yoshihara for something easier.

His remarks made Shiro Biebe even more confused, and he didn't know what "easier things" were.

"I came to Yoshihara, mainly because I wanted to find someone in your club." A faint smile appeared on Matsuhira's face. "Shiro Biebe, can help arrange for him to meet me now. ?"

"And help me vacate a room in the Shiro Bingbei clubhouse that will not be disturbed."

"Looking for someone?" Shiro Bingwei was taken aback, "Old Master, I don't know who you are looking for?"

"Mashima Goro." Matsudaira did not say any nonsense, and spit out a person's name concisely.

"Majima Goro?" Shiro Hebei's face was full of surprise, "Old Master, I don't know if you are looking for Majima Goro..."

Before Shiro Hebe finished speaking, Matsudaira Matshinbu interrupted first:

"Shiro Biebe, don't ask anything you shouldn't ask."

"I'm very sorry!" Shiro Bingbei, who realized that he had been troubled, put his forehead on the tatami, "It's me Meng Lang!"

"Old Master, Goro Mashima, he is not in the clubhouse now."

"The tea house called Yangmeiwu has many guests here tonight, and there is a shortage of manpower, so I asked my club for help."

"So I just sent a group of people from the clubhouse including Goro Mashima to support the Yangmei House!"

Songping Dingxin frowned slightly:

"Yangmei House...how long will it take him back?"

"It will take an hour the most and the fastest, and we will not be able to come back until there are not so many guests in Yangmei House..."

"One hour...I don't want to just wait for one hour, Shiro Biebe, can you help me call Mashima Goro-kun from that Yangmei house temporarily?"

"No problem!" Shiro Biebe nodded hurriedly for such trivial matters, "I will send someone to call Majima Goro back now!"

After quickly nodding his head to agree, Shiro Biebe was about to stand up, and when he went down to deliver the order to "call Majima Goro back" to his men——

"Shiro Biebe-sama! It's bad! It's bad!"

Suddenly a series of hurried footsteps sounded outside the door, and an anxious shout followed immediately after the series of footsteps.

As soon as this anxious shout fell, Shiro Biebei shouted at the door of the room angrily:

"A distinguished guest is visiting now! Don't make a noise! ​​I'll talk about anything later!"

"Sir Shiro Biebe! Something happened! The people we sent to support the Yangmei House had a conflict with a group of Kachimoto samurai!" The person who came to report was very anxious, although he was out of breath and was caught by Shiro Biebe. He cursed, but he quickly conveyed the urgent news to Shiro Biebe.

"What?" Shiro Biebe's eyes widened.

Matsudaira Matshinbu and Tachibana who were sitting in Shiro Biebe also changed their expressions-the two of them had just heard the name "Yanmei House" from Shiro Biebe's mouth.

"Yangmei House..." Songping Dingxin mumbled softly.

A thoughtful look appeared on his face.

I don't know what I'm thinking.

...

...

After arriving at the scene of the disturbance with Guasheng, Ogata also learned from the other population what had happened.

——Is the handle of the saber spilled by alcohol...

Ogata secretly said in his heart, and involuntarily frowned his already frowning brow again.

The hilt is regarded as the most delicate part of the samurai sword except for the blade.

The outer periphery of the katana's hilt will be wrapped with a layer of stuff called "shark skin".

It is made of a kind of skin called stingray.

Put a layer of shark skin on the top of the shaved solid wood, and then wrap the flat braid of silk or cotton, that is, after the handle is rolled, the handle of the samurai sword is made in this way.

The wood and shark skin of the samurai sword handle are glued mainly by rice and vegetable glue. The blister will degummed after a long time. Therefore, the handle of the samurai sword should be waterproof and protected at ordinary times.

In order to protect the handle of the samurai sword, a cloth specially used to wrap the handle of the knife was born.

The main purpose of the handle sleeve is to prevent the handle of the samurai sword from touching water.

Because the handle of the samurai sword touches water, it will shorten the life of the handle of the samurai sword, so many samurai are very afraid of someone soiling their hilt with liquid.

These disturbances in Takikawa attracted not only Ogata and others, but also many passersby who came to see the excitement.

After Ogata and others rushed to the scene, some people from Yangmei House also rushed to the scene.

And the person who came here was the one Lai Jiu.

After learning the details of the incident, Lai Jiu wiped the cold sweat on his face while bowing and apologizing to Takikawa and others in front of him:

"I'm really sorry! I will teach my people a lot later! Please Haihan!"

"Go away!" Takikawa just groaned as a mosquito for Lai Kou's apology.

Pushing Lai Jiu in front of him with his left hand, his right hand raised the knife again.

Looking at the shining knife in Takikawa's hand, the maiko who made a mistake behind Lai Kou let out a low whimper, and then subconsciously stepped back 2 steps.

When Ogata saw Takikawa raise the knife again, his face sank.

Then he walked up quickly, stood between Lai Kou and the maiko, and faced Takikawa, who was now full of alcohol and his face full of resentment and impatience.

Looking at Ogata's face, Takikawa only felt the resentment and anger in his heart intensified.

"Get out of here! There is nothing to do with you here!" Takikawa roared towards Ogata.

"Are you planning to draw a knife and kill someone just because of this little thing?" Ogata said solemnly.

While speaking, he slowly raised his left hand and pressed Da Shitian's sheath.

"I'll teach you the **** who defiled my knife. Is there anything wrong?"

Guasheng and some other club servants and Yangmei House employees also stood by Ogata's side at this time.

"Isn't it because the handle of the knife was soiled by the alcohol!" Gusheng shouted, "As for the quarrel like this?"

While yelling like this, Guasheng also raised his left hand like Ogata, and held down the wooden sword on his waist.

Ogata's act of silently raising his hand to hold the sheath of his sabre, Takikawa saw it.

"Heh!" Takikawa sneered with an exaggerated sneer, "What? Mojima Goro, do you plan to draw a sword with me, Kamoto?"

"You have to think about it, and think about what it will be like to draw a sword at Haben!"

The resentment and grievance that had been accumulated in my heart for a long time, under the urge of alcohol, exploded with great strength in one breath.

After ridiculing Ogata a few words in this way, Takikawa felt that his heart that had been tortured by resentment and grievance was finally relieved a lot.

At the same time, a sense of superiority emerged from the bottom of my heart again.

——Yes!

Takikawa yelled excitedly from the bottom of his heart.

——I'm a Samurai Kimoto!

——What if I didn’t enter the top 10 in the essay test?

——How about this Goro Mashima getting the first name in the literary examination?

——I'm still a Samurai Keimoto, this guy is still a ronin who finally found his job at the Shirobei Club a while ago!

——No matter what, my future achievements are definitely far higher than this Majima Goro! Also higher than that of Miyashita!

Listening to Takikawa's naked ridicule just now, Ogata's face sank slightly.

The melon on the side shouted directly:

"What's wrong with Flagmoto? You guy is making trouble here, and then we stop you, it's reasonable and reasonable!"

As soon as Guasheng's words fell, the one standing between Takigawa and others and Ogata and others, Raijiu quickly wiped the cold sweat on his face, turned to look at Ogata and others behind him, and then said in a low voice:

"Don't do this. Don't confront them with swords."

"The samurai's name is Heiichiro Takigawa, he is a samurai Kamoto. You can't afford to offend them, don't offend them further."

In addition to various privileges, samurai such as Kimoto and Yukini who were directly under the command of the shogunate had a terrible aspect. They often had all kinds of powerful relatives.

The families of Kimoto and Yu are noble, and the families they marry are not simple families.

Since the opening of the Edo shogunate two hundred years ago, a close network of relations and a network of relatives has long been formed between Kakimoto and the Yu family.

For a Kimoto with a low salary, maybe one of his relatives is a big man.

Rai Kou, who worked hard in a place like Yangmei House, naturally knew these terrible aspects of the Kamoto samurai, so in order to avoid further expansion of this dispute, he hurriedly reminded Ogata and others not to offend Kamoto.

Although Lai Kou had just lowered the volume when reminding Ogata and others not to offend Kamoto, Takikawa could barely hear what Lai Kou was saying.

Listening to what Rai Kou said to Ogata and others just now, Takikawa felt his superiority in his heart swelled even more.

"Takikawa!" At this time, Uesaka finally couldn't stand it. He stepped forward and grabbed Takikawa's shoulder. "You drank too much! Killing for this kind of trivial matter will be very troublesome afterwards! Master Lai Jiu , I'm very sorry, I will negotiate with you slowly..."

Before Uesaka's words were finished, Takikawa shook off Uesaka's hand that was holding his shoulder.

"Uesaka! Get out!"

"I must teach the maiko who defiled my saber!"

"By the way, let's see if Goro Majima has the guts to drew his sword at me, this flag."

Just now loudly mocking Ogata's pleasure, Takikawa, who had already been dazzled by anger and alcohol, completely lost his mind, and could no longer listen to what Uesaka said.

Takikawa raised the sword in his hand and strode towards the maiko who was hidden behind him by Ogata and others.

Looking at Takikawa who raised the sword again, Ogata silently lowered his body's center of gravity and placed his right hand on the handle of Taishaten's sword.

Naturally, Ogata would not kill Takigawa with a single blow.

Ogata has already done the calculations-if Takikawa insists on going forward to kill the Maiko, he will use the back of a sword to help this guy "calm down."

Takikawa raised the sword in his hand high, and assumed that he was about to stride towards the maiko.

Ogata also quietly prepared to help Takikawa "calm down".

The heaviness of the surrounding atmosphere then reached its culmination.

But at this moment, plain words that were quite inconsistent with this heavy atmosphere suddenly sounded from the crowd of onlookers next to him:

"Retracting the sword and pulling out the samurai's soul for such a small matter is really ugly."

This sentence was obviously addressed to Takikawa. Although the tone was flat, there was a stern tone in this calm tone that could not be questioned.

This unfamiliar words that suddenly sounded not only attracted the attention of Ogata and his party, but also attracted the attention of Takikawa and others.

Even the attention of the onlookers was drawn away by him.

Because this voice sounded from behind the onlookers, the onlookers looked back and looked back.

When everyone focused on the owner of this voice, the owner of this voice also walked slowly toward Ogata, Takigawa and the others with their hands behind their backs.

The onlookers also consciously separated to the left and right, giving way to a road for this person to walk on.

This man wore a hat with a wide brim and lowered his head slightly, making it impossible to see his face.

Behind him was an entourage who also wore a broad-brimmed hat.

"Who is it?" Takikawa frowned, and asked the man who had just let him take the knife in a deep voice, "Don't do the next thing, no matter who you are, please don't interfere!"

"Isn't your business my business... You said something wrong."

After all, the mysterious person slowly raised the edge of the hat.

As the Liyan raised, the mysterious man's face finally appeared from under the Liyan.

After the mysterious man raised Kasasa to reveal his face, Uesaka's face, standing beside Takigawa, was immediately completely bloodless, as if he had seen something extremely scary.

After that, Uesaka was like a conditioned reflex. He knelt down and bowed to the mysterious person in the posture of sitting down. He stammered and shouted:

"Old, old master!"

Uesaka's loud shout made the scene instantly become audible.

Takigawa and the rest of Takigawa's friends present all had their faces dull.

And Ogata was also shocked.

He still knows what the term "Laozhong" means...

Uesaka's uncle is one of the four current Wakanenyo-Yoshimoto Tsukuemon.

Thanks to this relationship, Uesaka has met several times with the old Nakamatsu Heidashin.

So Uesaka recognized this mysterious man at a glance.

The mysterious man-that is, Songping Dingxin continued to carry his hands on his back, and continued to say in a flat tone:

"Your business is really my business."

"You actually planned to drew a knife to my guest just now, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, then I can't just sit idly by no matter what."

"Your...Guest...?" Takikawa murmured, still sluggish.

An unknown premonition popped up in Takikawa's mind...

And what Matsuhira Matsuba said next instantly confirmed Takikawa’s ominous premonition:

"It's Goro-kun Mashima you just took a bite." Matsuhira said calmly, "If you fight with my guest, it will be difficult for me to do it."

*******

Takigawa’s actions in this chapter have historical prototypes. The author Jun is not a bit artistic exaggeration. The samurai in the Edo period could use their swords to kill people on the grounds that "you insulted the samurai".

The words of my writer in this chapter will give you three historical events in popular science, and show you the three views of chaos in that era...

When I saw these historical materials, I was really bewildered...what kind of three views is this...
