I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Sure enough, yesterday’s extravaganza was gone...

　　 I didn’t see the people outside yesterday, so let’s go and see each other

　　*******

　　*******

　　 Kuanzheng two years, month day.

　　 Weather is always said to change.

　　 Yesterday, on the 0th of the month, the temperature was still neither hot nor cold. During the day, I only wore a kimono to go out. There was no problem at all.

　　 But in one night, the temperature dropped sharply.

　　 I don’t wear a few more clothes today, I can’t go out at all.

　　 Some people who like to play barefoot on weekdays have to put aside their "dignity" and put on thick cloth socks.

　　 But there are some people who are very determined.

　　 Even though the weather is very cold today, I still have bare feet.

　　 So there is such a funny scene-some people are wearing thick clothes, wrapped like a bear, but wearing nothing on their feet, just walking on the street with straw sandals or clogs.

　　 In the Edo period, there has always been a concept: Only the soil buns wear socks.

　　 The reason for this concept is that Japan has always had a "barefoot" culture.

　　 As for why such a culture appeared, the reasons are more complicated.

　　There are climatic influences-Japan has always been a humid country. If you wear socks for a long time, you will get beriberi very easily.

　　 has the influence of traditional concept-ancient Japanese believed that walking barefoot is good for the health of the body.

　　 has cultural influence-Japanese people think that walking barefoot on tatami mats is a very pleasant thing.

　　 In short-Japan has always had a "barefoot" culture due to various factors.

　　 Affected by this culture, some people have always been resistant to "wearing socks", thinking that only soil buns wear socks.

　　 If you say which occupation is the most resistant to wearing socks, it is undoubtedly a wandering girl.

　　 "Only soil buns can wear foot bags"-this concept is extremely popular among travel girls.

　　 No matter how cold the weather is, the wandering girls will clenched their teeth and insisted on not wearing socks. Even if the weather is too cold, I can't stand the cold.

Therefore, in the Edo period, there were two short poems from Chuanyan: "The beauty of the allure, at the age of twenty-eight, can finally wear the foot bag", "I have never known the size of my foot bag, more than 27 Load".

　　 In the Edo period, the retirement age of wanderers was 2 years old. When they were 2 years old, they could retire without being wanderers anymore.

　　In other words, many wandering girls can finally wear socks until they are 2 years old and retired from being a wandering girl.

　　Because I have never worn it, or haven't worn it for a long time, I naturally don't know the size of my feet or what size socks I should wear.

　　Amachi, she is also the kind of person who likes to play barefoot and doesn't like wearing socks.

　　 Whenever she encounters an occasion where she can take off her shoes and socks, she will definitely take off her shoes and socks.

　　 But she doesn't have the extreme concept of "Only a soil bun wears a foot bag".

When she woke up this morning and found that the weather was very cold today, she silently put aside the "dignity" of the "barefoot love party", silently put on socks, and then went out with Ogata early in the morning. The most famous happy street in Edo-Ryogoku Hirokoji.

　　 As the power center and economic center of Japan, Edo is currently the largest city in Japan, and the entertainment industry is naturally very developed, with a large number of happy streets.

　　Ryogoku Hirokoji is the most famous and largest fun street in Edo.

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

　　 There is a performance of the "strong man" who lifts up huge straw bales or big rocks for rice.

　　There are "acrobats" who perform various magic tricks.

　　 There are "animal entertainers" who bring monkeys, dogs and other animals to juggling.

　　There are storytellers who tell all kinds of moving stories.

　　 Going to fun streets like Ryogoku Hirokoji is a way for most Edo people who have a little extra money and some free time to pass the time.

　　 Since 3 days ago, Ogata and Amachi visited Ryogoku Hirokoji in Nikko, the most famous happy street in Edo.

　　 It is the same today. Ogata and Amachi went out early in the morning and went to Ryogoku Hirokoji again.

　　 Although it is still morning, there are already a lot of artists and tourists who have started working here on Ryogoku Hirokoji.

　　 At this moment, Ogata and Amachi are listening to a storyteller.

　　 Ogata heard that this storyteller is named "Tachikawa Tei Tanraku", and he is one of the most famous storytellers in Hirokoji in Ryogoku.

　　 In addition to Ogata and Amachi, there are many listeners.

　　 The listeners, including Ogata and Amachi, formed a semicircle with Tanle as the center, and listened carefully to Tanle storytelling.

　　 Tan Le is now telling the story of Sanada Yukimura.

　　 Sanada Yukimura was a fierce general in the Warring States Period two hundred years ago, and he is also a household name in Japan, and is known as the "Last Hero of the Warring States Period."

　　 At the end of the Warring States Period two hundred years ago, one of the most talked-about topics was naturally the confrontation between the Toyotomi and Tokugawa families.

　　 Sanada Yukimura is a blockbuster fighter in the confrontation between these two big families.

　　 Not long after Ieyasu Tokugawa established the Tokugawa Shogunate two hundred years ago, he launched the "Battle of Osaka" to completely eliminate the Toyotomi Clan, who was based in Osaka and was the only one that could threaten their status at the time.

　　 In this Osaka battle, Sanada Yukimura created the legend of fighting against the crowd and successfully repelled the Tokugawa army.

　　 The first "Battle of Osaka" of the Edo Shogunate ended in failure.

　　Because the first "Battle of Osaka" took place in winter, this battle is also known as "The Battle of Osaka Winter".

　　 In the summer of the following year, the unwilling Tokugawa Ieyasu launched the second "Battle of Osaka".

　　Because the second "Battle of Osaka" took place in the summer, this battle is also known as the "Daban Summer Array".

　　 This time, Sanada Yukumura failed to recreate the glory of last year's "Osaka Winter Array".

　　 Still the old saying: Don't be afraid of opponents like gods, but teammates like pigs.

　　 At that time, Sanada Yumura was surrounded by pig teammates, who kept pulling Sanada's hind legs.

　　 At that time, Toyotomi Hideyori, the head of the Toyotomi clan, was an incompetent person.

　　 At that time, the Toyotomi clan ruled together, and Toyotomi Hideyori's mother, Yodohime.

Not to mention 　　Yodohime, she is a very famous "brainless person" in Japanese history.

　　 Toyotomi’s two masters were mud that couldn't support the wall. Under the "assist" of these pig teammates, Sanada Yukumura failed in the end.

　　 At the Osaka Summer Camp, Toyotomi was defeated.

　　 After this battle, Toyotomi was destroyed by Tokugawa, and Sanada Yukimura also died in this battle.

　　The Japanese have always admired tragic heroes.

　　 Tragic heroes like Yukimura Sanada who have made brilliant achievements are even more popular.

　　 Two hundred years have passed, and Sanada Yukimura’s deeds are still being sung.

　　 There are countless legends and stories related to Sanada Yukimura.

　　 Because Sanada's popularity is so high, storytellers love to tell Sanada's stories.

　　 Tan Le is now talking about the story of Sanada Yukimura's last battle in his life-Osaka Summer Camp.

　　 "Although Sanada Yukumura has struggled to the death, he is still unable to return to the sky, unable to stop the shogunate's demise of the Toyotomi clan."

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

　　 This circumflex accent makes people sound very comfortable.

　　Amachi is very interested in storytelling. Before in Kyoto, Amachi reunited with Ogata at a storyteller.

　　 Because he listened too seriously, Ah Ting's body couldn't help leaning forward.

　　 "In order to get that ray of life, Yukumura Sanada decided to launch a life-threatening attack on the shogunate army. He led a few subordinates to launch an assault on the shogunate army!"

　　 "The shogunate has a hundred times the strength of Sanada, but it can't stop Sanada's cross gun at all!"

　　 "After breaking into the shogunate's army formation, Sanada Yukumura pointed a gun at the shogunate's main formation, and let out a rhetoric:'Kanto has a million soldiers, there is no hero!"

try{mad1('gad2');}catch(ex){}　　"After releasing these words, Yukumura Sanada rushed from left to right. With only a BMW under his crotch and a cross gun in his palm, Yukumura Sanada let the shogunate's army Falling into chaos, the shogunate’s army was ripped off for more than twenty miles!"

　　 Tan Le relied on his excellent eloquence to successfully mobilize the emotions of all the listeners.

　　 Acho's face even showed excitement and excitement directly.

　　 "Unfortunately, Sanada was hit by a cold arrow due to exhaustion while pursuing the fleeing shogunate army, and unfortunately died in battle."

　　 After talking about the climax, he changed his tone of speech with regret.

　　 "Sanada died, Toyotomi died."

　　 "After Sanada Yukumura's death, the Toyotomi Army was no longer able to stop Tokugawa's offensive."

　　 "'Tianxia Xiongcheng', Dabancheng was burned to white ground by the fire."

　　 "Toyotomi's heirs were all butchered."

　　 "Toyotomi died."

　　 After telling the story, Tan Le, who had been sitting, stood up and bowed to all the audience in front of him.

　　 When Tan Le bowed and saluted, coins of various styles, mainly copper coins, gathered into a "money rain" and spilled into the box placed in front of Tan Le.

　　 Ogata was very happy to hear it just now, so he threw a few more coins in the past.

　　 Acho threw money along with it.

　　, who is still immersed in the story that Tan Le just told, whispered with joy while throwing the coins:

　　 "'Kanto has a million soldiers, but there is no hero alone'... It's so handsome..."

　　 In order to make the story more exciting, storytellers often make magical changes to certain real people and things.

　　 Ogata doesn’t know much about the history of Japan’s Sengoku period, so it’s not clear whether Tanle’s story just told is true, and whether Sanada Yukumura is really that brave.

　　 But he doesn't care about it.

　　 After all, hearing about books is just listening to it.

　　 It doesn’t matter if the story told by the storyteller is true or not.

　　 While talking about "thank you" and "thank you" with a smile, a question suddenly came out from the listener:

　　 "Tanle-san! Is Toyotomi's blood really cut off?"

　　 The person who asked this question was a little boy who seemed to be less than 0 years old.

　　 Hearing this question, Tan Le was stunned for a moment, and then responded without thinking:

　　 "Of course, after the Osaka Summer Array, Toyotomi's children died, and the blood was completely cut off."

　　 "But last time I heard another storyteller say: Toyotomi's blood is not cut off, Toyotomi Hideyori's son was rescued and taken to the Satsuma clan..." the little boy then asked.

　　 As soon as the voice of the little boy's question fell, a strong man standing beside him laughed loudly and said:

"Little brother, just listen to these wild rumors. You can't take it seriously. Last time I heard a storyteller say that Toyotomi had buried all the wealth of Osaka City in a certain place when it was about to die! "

　　 As soon as this brawny man spoke, another young man, who was thinner and older, echoed:

　　 "Compared to'there is still Toyotomi's bloodline remaining', I want to believe that the rumor that'Toyotomi is burying all the wealth of Osaka Castle somewhere' is true. Hahahaha."

　　 Ogata listened quietly to the group's speech.

　　 Listening to these people’s conversations, Ogata couldn’t help but secretly said in his heart:

　　—Sure enough, there are rumors of this type in every country...

　　 There are similar rumors in various countries-"Who and who is actually still alive", "Who and who has blood remaining", "Who and who survived did what and what"...

　　 In his previous life, Ogata had heard such rumors that Emperor Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty did not die after the Battle of Jingnan, he ran to the South China Sea and became the Pirate King...

　　 Although Ogata is also quite interested in this kind of unofficial history, he doesn't have the leisure to listen to it now.

　　 After briefly listening to these people's conversations, he moved his gaze to Ah Ding.

　　 "Will you continue to listen to the book? Or do you want to go to another place to play?"

　　 Acho raised his head and looked at the sky.

　　 squinted and looked at the sun that was about to rise to the highest point, Ah Ding said:

　　 "Let’s play here first today."

　　 "Are you going back?" Ogata asked.

　　 "Yeah." Ah Ding nodded, "It's okay to go back soon, after all-today is a very important day."

　　 Speaking of this, a gentle smile slowly appeared on Ah Ting's face.

　　 "We'd better go back soon and get ready."

　　 "Actually, there is still some time." Ogata looked up at the current sky, and estimated the current time, "Really don't plan to play for a while?"

"Yeah." As he said, he stretched his waist vigorously. "Aren't we already visiting all parts of Edo these days. I can't think of anything else to play or see." "

　　 "A Yi, do you have anything else you want to play or see?"

"I don't have anything I want to play or see." Ogata smiled with satisfaction. "During this time, I have seen everything I want to see and everything I want to play. Played."

　　Because of the enemy of Shiranui, since he came to Edo, Ogata has never played with Amachi in this "largest city in Japan".

　　 Now that I do not know the fire is dead, Acho no longer has to wear that scary heavy makeup as a disguise when he goes out, and Ogata can finally breathe a sigh of relief and relax his tight nerves.

　　 They also have the important task of "finding a doctor who can cure the "immortal poison"", so they can't stay in Edo for a long time.

　　 Edo is also currently the largest city in Japan. If you don’t look around and wander around, it’s a pity.

　　 Therefore, after recovering from his injuries to the extent that he can barely move freely, Okinawa takes Amachi to play around in Edo.

　　 These days, the two of them have seen all the places of interest in Edo.

　　 I ate all the specialties of Edo.

　　 visited every happy street in Edo.

　　 Ogata doesn’t know what Amachi feels. Anyway, during these days of play, Ogata feels very happy.

　　 He has no big dreams.

　　 His only dream is to be a carefree ronin, wandering aimlessly, aimlessly reading all over the world.

　　 Therefore, playing in Edo during this period can be regarded as realizing a small part of his dream.

　　 And-this recent period is also the most relaxing time for Ogata since this year.

　　 Since the beginning of this year, Ogata has been involved in various events either passively or actively.

　　 At the beginning of the year, I wandered to the Tatsuno clan and became attached to Hasegawa.

　　 Then in spring, he was exiled to Butterfly Island.

　　 After finally escaping from Butterfly Island, he rushed to Kyoto because he planned to treat the "immortality" in his body.

　　 was forced to be involved in a terrifying conspiracy to "destroy Kyoto" on the first day he arrived in Kyoto.

　　 Entering Kyoto in the morning, he became bruised again by the "Battle of Nijo Castle" in the evening, and was forced to rest in Fengma’s residence to recover from his wounds.

　　 Then he formed an alliance with Gourd House, ready to deal with Shiranui.

　　 just right after the injury, he hurriedly left Kyoto and rushed to the gourd house headquarters in Owari. After a short break at the gourd house headquarters in Owari, he hurried to Edo.

　　 After coming to Edo, I have not been able to relax because of dealing with Shiranui...

　　 So-the recent time spent playing around Edo with Amachi can be said to be the most leisurely and happiest day Ogata has spent this year.

　　 Seeing that Ogata had no intention to go any further, Amachi turned around and walked outside Tanle’s storytelling stand with his hands on his back, and said to Ogata:

　　 "A Yi, let's go back then."

　　 "Go back early to prepare for the afternoon banquet."

　　 "In fact, there is nothing to prepare." Ogata smiled, and after quickly following Amachi, he continued in a half-joking tone, "After all, there are not many guests who can come to the banquet..."

　　...

　　...

　　 Ogata and Amachi quickly returned to their current residence in Edo—the small house Lin borrowed from the Tojoya.

　　 As soon as they opened the door, they saw Mamiya walking towards them quickly.

try{mad1('gad2');}catch(ex){}　　 "You two are really free and easy..."

　　Mamiya's cheeks and tone of voice are full of helplessness.

　　 "Today is such an important day for the two of you, but you even went outside to play..."

　　 At this time, Mamiya is a bit different than usual-Mamiya is now wearing a very formal dress.

　　From the brand-new fabric, it is not difficult to see—this is a new purchase.

　　 Hearing Mamiya’s spit, Ogata and Amachi had a tacit understanding and turned their heads at the same time, looked at each other, and smiled at each other.

　　 "Anyway, you two go change clothes first." Mamiya continued, "By the way-we have all changed clothes."

　　...

　　...

　　 Ogata and Amachi returned to their room.

　　 There are two small bamboo boxes in one corner of the room.

　　 Looking at the two bamboo boxes, Ogata's eyes couldn't help but show complex emotions.

　　 Ogata and Amachi walked to the two bamboo boxes respectively, and then opened the bamboo boxes in front of them at the same time.

　　 Both bamboo boxes contain a set of clothes.

　　 The bamboo box in front of Ogata is dressed in a very formal black dress.

　　 And this bamboo box in front of Ah Ting, the clothes contained in it is a set of pure and flawless white.

　　...

　　...

　　 a few days ago—

　　Edo, under the "sacred tree"—

　　 Ogata held Amachi tightly.

　　 Amachi's arms also wrapped tightly around Ogata's back.

　　 Ogata can't remember what happened just now.

　　 I only know that after hearing his voice, Amachi looked back at him, and stared at each other with Ogata.

　　 When he came back to his senses, he had already held Ah Ding tightly in his arms.

　　 Although the two didn't say a word during the whole process, the atmosphere was exceptionally comfortable and peaceful.

　　How long have you hugged each other? Ogata couldn't remember either.

　　 Until I don't know when, an idea slowly appeared in Ogata's mind.

　　 "...A Ding."

　　 Ogata decided to show his whole idea.

"Ok?"

　　 "How about a wedding before we leave Edo?"

　　 A faint smile slowly appeared on Ogata's face.

　　 "I just discovered this-now is the best time for a wedding."

　　 "Uncle Kei, you and my friends happen to be in Edo right now, so many people can be invited to our wedding."

　　 "If I miss this time, I don't know when I will have such a good opportunity to hold a wedding."

　　 Japan has always had a "ritualistic" culture.

　　 Some trivial things have to be very ritual.

　　 Because of the importance of ceremonies, ancient Japan has always valued weddings.

　　 "There is no wedding, how can it be considered a marriage", "If this couple has never even had a wedding, then this couple is really nameless"-this is the concept of most people in this era.

　　 No matter how simple the wedding is, there must be a wedding in short.

　　 In fact, after the original gourd house headquarters in Owari merged with Amachi, Okina had the idea of ​​holding a wedding with Amachi.

　　Because the enemy of Shiranui was there, and he couldn't settle down for a long time, the plan to "host a wedding with Acho" could only be shelved again and again.

　　 Now that the enemy of Shiranui is dead, the relatives and friends of Ogata and Amachi are now in Edo—as Ogata said, now is indeed the best time to hold a wedding.

　　As soon as Ogata's voice fell, Amachi raised her head and cast a surprised look at Ogata.

　　 After staring at Ogata for a while, the surprise slowly turned into joy.

　　 Amachi retracted his gaze, leaned his chin on Ogata's shoulder, and smiled.

　　 "Okay."

　　 While talking, Amachi leaned his cheek against Ogata's.

　　 "I have to go back and see which day is a good day." Ogata joked.

　　 "You have to buy clothes," Ah Ding added.

　　 "A Ting, do you want to do the **** front pose, the Buddha front pose or the human front pose?"

　　 "The human front style is fine." Ah Ding said immediately, "the **** front style and the Buddha front style are both too complicated."

　　...

　　...

　　 Time back to now—

　　Edo, Nihonbashi, Shinagawa-juku.

　　 Koharu, kneeling on the ground in a seated position, pressed his forehead tightly on the tatami.

　　 "Not yet...find out who was attacked in Shiranui?"

　　 A calm Chinese language without any sorrow and joy rang out from the top of Gao Qing's head, and then floated into Gao Qing's ears.

　　 The moment after hearing these words, Gao Qing's body shook uncontrollably.

　　Drips of cold sweat appeared between Gao Qing's forehead.

　　 The person who questioned Gao Qing was naturally Gao Qing's lord, Toyotomi.

　　 After learning that Shiranui was attacked, Toyotomi immediately ordered an investigation into the truth of the matter.

　　 More than half a month has passed now.

　　He came to confirm the result of the investigation.

　　 Toyotomi stood in front of Gao Qing with his purple handle in his right hand.

　　 lowered his eyes and looked at Gao Qing who was kneeling in front of him.

　　 His eyes are like ice cubes, cold, and there is no emotion in his pupils.

　　 Toyotomi was facing the window with his back.

　　 The outdoor sunlight hit Toyotomi through the window, pulling out a long shadow.

　　 The shadow pressed down on Gao Qing's body like a mountain.

　　 "Master Toyotomi and Toyotomi..." Gao Qing was nervous, and his speech became a little bit unsmooth. "I'm waiting for a deadlock..."

　　 "Don't talk about these useless nonsense." Before Gao Qing had finished speaking, Toyotomi interrupted him directly, "Just tell me if I found any new results."

　　 Toyotomi's voice fell, and the cold sweat on Gao Qing's forehead became more.

　　 took a deep breath, and after showing an expression as if he was going to the execution ground, he plucked up the courage and said:

"No…"

　　 "Did the shogunate find out who was the criminal who destroyed Shiranui?" Toyotomi asked next.

　　 "As far as I know, the shogunate has not yet found out who destroyed Shiranuiri."

　　 "When the shogunate learned that Shiranui was attacked, and sent an official to investigate Shiranui, the person who destroyed Shiranui was nowhere to be seen."

　　 "There is too little information, so there hasn't been any results from the shogunate."

　　 After that, Gao Qing closed her eyes.

　　 No matter what, UU reading www.uukanshu. com and they haven't found out who attacked Shiranui in the end—this is an iron fact.

　　 Takaharu has followed Toyotomi for many years, and knows Toyotomi's temperament: rewards and punishments are distinct. Never treat a meritorious person wrongly, and never belittle the incompetent person.

　　 Gao Qing, who closed his eyes tightly, was mentally prepared to be punished by Toyotomi.

　　 But who knows-the imaginary punishment did not come.

　　 "...That's it." Toyotomi whispered, "It is indeed difficult for you to find out who ruined Shiranui with so few clues."

　　 "So I won't hold you accountable."

　　The words of Toyotomi made Gao Qing feel like an amnesty. The eyes that had been closed suddenly opened, and the cold sweat on his forehead finally stopped.

　　 Toyotomi walked slowly to the window.

After looking at the scenery outside the window, 　　 said in a still calm tone:

　　 "I came to Edo for the convenience of commanding the subordinates lurking in Shiranui and successfully completing the control of Shiranui."

　　 "Since I know it is destroyed in the fire, it doesn't make much sense for us to stay in Edo."

　　 Gao Qing raised his eyebrows: "Master Toyotomi, are you planning to go back?"

　　 "Well, I have this plan."

　　 "But—" Toyotomi changed his words.

　　 "It's a rare trip to Edo."

　　 "If you don't do anything, isn't it just a trip for nothing?"

　　 After that, Toyotomi turned his head and smiled at Takaharu.

　　 It's just that the smile on his face doesn't seem to be warm at all.
