I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

The latest website: Yuan Yi used his scrutinizing eyes to look up and down the first light that buried his head low.

"...Okay, then you can come together."

Yuan Yi, who has a straightforward temperament, makes decisions and speaks cheerfully as always, never a mother-in-law.

It only took a few seconds from hearing Chu Guang's words to making a decision.

"Master Yuan." As soon as Yuan said the words, the first to react violently was not Chu Guang, but Asai.

Asai lowered his voice and brought his lips to Genichi's ear:

"Are you serious? Do you really want to let this kind of person who we have only known for a long time follow us? What if she suddenly pulls us back or betrays us when we are on the move?"

"It doesn't matter." Yuan Yi smiled flatly, "Anyway, it won't take much effort to bring her alone."

"With Mamiya and I here, she can't do anything that could be detrimental to us."

"And I think what she said just now is not unreasonable - bringing people who are familiar with Toyotomi and Iga by her side may have unexpected effects."

"Since she is willing to follow us, then take her with her as she wishes."

"...Now you are in charge." Asai said helplessly, "Whatever you say is what you say..."

"Thank you so much..." Chu Guang lowered his already low head, and bowed his thanks to Yuan.

"Then..." Yuan Yi raised his hand and scratched his hair at this time, and looked around at the people around him, "Let's decide, who will go to Koya Mountain."

"Cranberry."

Yuan Yi first turned his attention to Feng Mo, whose waist was still hurting, so he had to bow his waist.

"Tonight...Thank you so much for your help."

"The rest, let us handle it slowly."

"You can rest in Osaka and rest in peace."

Feng Mo raised his hand and hammered his lower back, and then said in a joking tone: "Yuanyi, you are so funny, I'm so tired tonight that I can't straighten my waist, so just say 'thank you'. I sent it."

"I will invite you to drink later." Yuan Yi grinned, "Drink until you vomit."

"And then... Asai, Shimada."

The source turned his attention to Asai and Shimada.

"The injuries on your body are not light. You two should stay in Osaka to recuperate."

In the previous battle in Longshui Temple, Asai's abdomen was accidentally burned by the flames caused by the explosion, while Shimada was crushed by the collapsed beam of the roof.

Both of them were injured, and their current skills were greatly reduced, especially Shimada, who was very reluctant to even walk quickly.

Asai has always been obedient to Genichi's orders.

But who knows——after the sound of Genichi's command just now fell, he heard Asai refuse in a strong tone:

"No, Master Yuan. We're going to Koyasan too."

"Asai." Yuan Yi frowned, "As far as I know - you don't seem to be the kind of idiot who knows he is injured, but still insists on forcing his own body."

"I know that Shimada and I are injured now and are not suitable to fight again." Asai said slowly, "So, when I said 'we are going to Koyasan' just now, it does not mean that we have to carry knives and follow You rush up to Koya Mountain."

"Although Shimada and I can't fight now, we still have the ability to drive."

"Let me and Shimada drive the carriage for you."

"I and Shimada will send you to Koya Mountain. In this way, you don't need to take turns to change the guard and drive. You can sleep in the carriage and recover your strength."

Having said this, Asai paused for a while.

"...It was the lord who gave me a place to live, who has no other strengths except swordsmanship." After a pause, Asai continued in a deep voice, "If it wasn't for the lord's shelter, I might still be an unhappy person. The next ronin who escaped from the domain."

"Now that the lord is in danger, I want to do everything in my power to save the lord no matter what."

"I hope you can understand my feelings, Master Yuan."

At this time, Shimada on the side also quickly echoed:

"Senior Asai is right. Although we can't fight now, we can still help you drive."

"Master Yuan, please let us go together!"

Genichi pursed his lips, looked at Asai with complicated eyes, and then looked at Shimada.

"...I see." Yuan Yi nodded lightly, "Then you two, come and help us drive."

While Asai and Shimada were "bargaining" with Genichi, Ogata was also "bargaining" with his small team.

"...A-machi, even if I tell you: Don't follow me to Koyasan, you won't listen, right?"

Although Ogata's sentence was a question to ask A-machi, his tone was as if he already knew what A-machi would answer, a tone of affirmation.

"Of course." A-machi, with her chest up, gave a short answer without the slightest hesitation, "Stay in Osaka and wait for you to return from Koyasan - do you think this kind of thing is something I would do? ?"

"I also have...a lot of things I can do, and probably only I can do."

A-ding smiled and raised his hand to pat the pistol in her arms.

"...Then after arriving at Koyasan, you have to follow Jinyuan-sama and the others. No matter what, you must pay attention to safety." After Chao A-cho smiled helplessly, Ogata turned his attention to A-Zhu, who was beside him.

"Azhu, you stay in Osaka."

"Why?" Azhu was stunned for a moment, and then asked in a high voice anxiously.

"Because you don't have the need to participate in the dispute between us and Toyotomi." Ogata explained calmly, "On Koya Mountain, there are unknown troops of Koya Mountain. This trip to Koya Mountain is bound to be very dangerous."

"In the dispute between us and Toyotomi, you are an outsider. You don't have to follow us to take risks."

"Listen to me and stay here."

"……do not want."

Azhu lowered his head and bit his lower lip with his upper teeth.

"I will also follow you to Koya Mountain."

Hearing Ah Zhu's resolute response, Ogata was stunned for a moment, then frowned slightly, and then slowly opened his brows.

"why?"

Ogata asked.

"Can you tell me why?"

"If you can't give me a reason to convince me, I won't let you follow us to Koya Mountain."

The color of hesitation, at this time, slowly climbed up to A Zhu's eyes and cheeks.

"...Come over to your ears."

Asuka Ogata and A-machi waved their hands.

The couple standing side by side moved their left and right ears towards Azhu respectively.

Azhu moved his mouth to the ears of the big and small, and quickly said something to the two of them.

After Azu finished speaking, the faces of Ogata and A-cho were filled with astonishment.

"Are you telling the truth?" A-ding glared at A-Zhu with her beautiful eyes.

"Well..." Azhu nodded lightly, "I can guarantee that I won't make a mistake or make a mistake..."

"Is that the case..." Ogata raised his hand and scratched his hair, while sighing heavily, "You can tell us about this kind of thing earlier..."

"Sorry..." Azhu murmured, "I just couldn't find a chance to tell you about this..."

"...I see." Ogata, who sighed again, put down his hand scratching his hair, "Then you can go to Koyasan with us."

"After arriving at Koya Mountain, remember to follow Mr. Yuan and the others closely, and don't take a step away."

"Yes!" A Zhu, with a happy expression on his face, nodded his head vigorously.

After arranging A-cho and A-Tzu, Ogata's eyes slowly moved to... the last person in his "small team".

"Miss Isshiki, you stay here."

"Huh?" Isshiki showed the same stunned expression as Azhu just now.

Ogata did not give Isshiki any chance to react, and while Isshiki was still in a daze, he said to Isshiki in an unquestionable tone:

"I can understand your concern for your family."

"But this trip to Koya Mountain is really not suitable for you."

"Your swordsmanship is decent, but your actual combat experience is too lacking."

"At Toyotomi's side, there is no shortage of guys who kill people without blinking an eye."

"What's more—you still have wounds on your body."

Ogata glanced at Isshiki's calf that was accidentally stabbed by Iga's ninja's shuriken while helping him escape.

"So...you can stay in Osaka with peace of mind and wait for our good news."

"But, but..." Isshiki Hana subconsciously wanted to refute Ogata's words.

But after babbling for a while, Isshiki was extremely unwilling to find that she couldn't refute Ogata's words at all.

Just relying on his current state, to follow Ogata and the others to Koyasan, presumably will only drag everyone down.

Looking at the tangled face of Isshiki, Ogata's originally tense face slowly softened.

"...Miss Isshiki, don't worry."

"I will definitely save your family."

"...I see." Isshiki Hua was silent for a long time before finally taking a deep breath, and then whispered what Ogata wanted to hear from Isshiki's mouth.

Hearing Isshiki Hana's answer, Ogata couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

"Everyone! I've got the carriage!"

At this moment, Mamiya's voice came suddenly.

"Mamiya?" Yuan Yi looked at Mamiya, who was sweating profusely, with a surprised expression on his face. "You brought the carriage? So fast? Where did you come from?"

"A certain rice merchant nearby." Mamiya smiled slightly, "I used to be ordered by the lord to come to Osaka to do business with a few rice merchants."

"I clearly remember that one of the rice merchants had a large family business and kept several horse and donkey carts specially used to transport rice."

"I borrowed two of their carriages."

"Of course - I didn't borrow anything for nothing, I paid them the rental fee, and the rental fee I paid was probably enough for them to buy 4 carriages of the same model."

Mamiya's remarks... or the terrifying power of action and efficiency, made everyone present speechless.

Genichi turned his head and cast a playful look at Shimada beside him.

This pair of eyes seems to be saying to Shimada: How? I didn't lie to you, did I? Give the task to Mamiya, there is no problem.

"Since the carriage has been obtained." Genichi said aloud after taking back his playful gaze from Shimada, "Then it's not too late—get ready to go to Koyasan!"

"Komachi, Komachi."

At this moment, A-Machi suddenly heard Fuuma calling her.

Turning his head to look, he saw Feng Mo limping towards A-ding while rubbing his lower back.

"Sir, what's wrong?"

A-machi hurried up to meet him.

"After going to Koyasan, you must be careful."

At this moment, Feng Mo is no longer like the last leader of Feng Mo no longer, but more like an ordinary old man who cares about his younger generation.

"Don't worry, old man." A-ding smiled, "I'm no longer the one in Shiranui who left the firearm, and I can't do anything anymore."

"...I think so too." Feng Mo slowly showed a relieved smile to A-cho, "I noticed that you seemed to have changed when I reunited with you in Kyoto more than a month ago."

"Becoming a lot more mature than before."

"You used to be like a child."

"And now you are already like a decent adult."

"Sure enough, it is better to read thousands of books than to travel thousands of miles."

"You and Ogata brother have only traveled together for more than half a year, and you have made such a big change."

After a few soft laughs in a tone of joy, Feng Mo stretched his hand into his arms, and took out a small paper bag from his arms.

"Although because of the waist, I can no longer continue to help you."

"But it's not like I can't really be of any help."

"Komachi, this is for you. Compared to brother Ogata and others, it is more appropriate to give this to you."

"This is?" A-Ming asked in confusion.

"This is the new mystery of Feng Mo Liu that I accidentally researched when I got old." Feng Mo said proudly, "The inside of this paper bag is my specially-made powder."

"As long as this is sprinkled in people's eyes, it will make people feel the pain in the eyes."

"The most powerful part of this powder is that it is difficult to remove."

"You have to rinse with lots of water to get it clean."

"If you use it, it might have a great effect."

"Because this powder is difficult to make, this is the last packet of powder I have on my body, so use it with caution."

"Oh..." A-ding showed an expression of sudden realization, "When you attacked Longshui Temple tonight, this is what you threw at that crazy woman's face."

"Yes, yes." Feng Mo nodded, "This powder is very easy to use, you must have heard how miserable that crazy woman's cry is?"

"Does the Fumo-ryu profound meaning..." A-cho played with the small paper bag in his hand with a strange expression, "Does the female ninja in Shiranui use the Fu-mo-ryu's profound meaning... It always feels a little weird."

After making a small joke, A-Ming solemnly stuffed the paper bag that Fuuma handed over into her arms.

"Thank you, my lord. I will definitely use Feng Mo Liu Profound Truth properly."

"Komachi." Feng Mo tried to straighten his waist, "I wish you a prosperous martial arts."

"Well, we'll go back when we go." A-ding opened his arms and gently hugged the old man whom she had always respected as an elder.

Heading to Koyasan - it doesn't require any luggage at all.

After properly arranging the prisoners from left and right, Ogata and the others boarded the two carriages that Mamiya had found.

Asai and Shimada were responsible for driving the two carriages respectively.

As Asai had previously told Genichi: Although the two of them were greatly reduced in combat power due to their injuries, they still had the strength to sit in the driver's seat with the reins in hand.

Not counting the non-combatants Asai and Shimada, those who went to Koyasan were: Ogata, A-machi, A-Tzu, Genichi, Mamiya, Makimura, Hatsumi, Shibata. 7 people in total.

Just as Ogata was about to board the carriage that Asai was driving—

"Master Yidaozhai."

Isshiki suddenly stopped him from behind.

"Miss Isshiki, what's wrong?"

Ogata put down the right foot that had stepped on the carriage.

"Don't tell me now: You changed your mind again and decided to follow us to Koya Mountain."

Ogata spoke to Isshiki in a half-joking tone.

Folding her hands in front of her, the eldest Ishiki, who is full of demeanor, gently shook her head.

She looked around.

After confirming that there were no outsiders around, she released her hands that were folded in front of her and stretched out towards Ogata.

However, just as she stretched out her hands towards Ogata, she paused as if she had thought of something.

I saw Isshiki biting her lip, and there was a faint hesitation in her eyes.

Finally——she silently retracted the hands that she had stretched out towards Ogata, and continued to fold them in front of her.

"...Master Yidaozhai, be careful with everything."

she said softly.

"Yeah." Ogata smiled, "Thank you."

"Wait for my good news in Osaka with peace of mind."

"If your family is really in Koya Mountain, I will try my best to rescue your family."

Touching Isshiki flowers hung on her cheeks, and she showed Ogata a charming smile.

"Master Yidaozhai, no matter what, please protect yourself."

"If you get hurt for saving my family...I'll be sad..."

"I wish you a prosperous martial arts."

"I'll wait for you to come back in Osaka."

...

...

...

...

Time goes back to the present-

"Ogata-kun is he here too?" Hasegawa cast a startled look at Makimura, who had finished telling what happened to them last night.

"Yeah, yes." Makimura said, "Ogata-san, he's probably heading towards the back mountain now. You should be able to see him after a while."

"Hasegawa-kun." Genichi, who was running at the front, suddenly turned around and asked Hasegawa, "You said just now that the people of Toyotomi are going to transfer you, right?"

"Well, yes." Hasegawa replied, "They suddenly appeared just now and wanted to transfer us away."

"...It's troublesome." Genichi murmured, "Even people have begun to move, it seems... Toyotomi really intends to abandon Koyasan..."

"The worst has happened." Mamiya, who was beside him, silently agreed with a sullen face.

"Now I can only hope that Xiaolin hasn't been moved away..." Yuan Yi's eyes gradually sharpened.

The area of ​​this underground prison is far larger than Yuan Yi and the others imagined.

It was difficult to find Yuan Yi and the others in this underground prison, and put all their hopes here.

If they can't find Lin here, then they don't know where else to find Lin in the future.

Fortunately, although this underground prison is relatively large, there are not many forks. Although there are many cells, they are basically empty, which is convenient for Yuan Yi and the others to find.

The people who were heading straight for the deepest part of this underground prison finally reached the deepest part of the prison after galloping all the way for nearly 10 minutes.

The deepest part of this underground prison is a somewhat unremarkable cell at first glance.

And this seemingly unremarkable cell is also the last cell in this underground prison.

Yuan Yi and the others saw a figure shaking in this cell from a distance.

Everyone, whose hearts were immediately tense, quickly accelerated their pace and approached the prison door.

As soon as they got to the door of the prison, Yuan Yi and the others, who had expectations on their faces, immediately turned into disappointment.

They didn't get to see the shadow they expected to see in this cell.

In this cell, there was only a unkempt old man with many flies flying around him.

The old man had been huddled in the corner of the cell.

After listening to the footsteps of Yuan Yi and the others, he immediately raised his eyes and looked at the group of "new guests" outside the cell that he had never seen before with doubts and surprises.

"Tsk...Isn't the lord in this underground prison..." Makimura shook his hands into fists, and beat the stone wall next to him with resentment.

"... Hasegawa-kun." Genichi's expression on his face became uncontrollable, and he turned his eyes to Hasegawa again, "Did you tell me when the Toyotomi family came to **** you? What more valuable information?"

"For example: Did you mention the location of other prisons?"

"Or: Did it say where you were going to be taken?"

"Huh? This..."

Hasegawa raised his hand and pressed his head, frowning, trying to recall.

After a while, he finally saw Hasegawa's frown loosened.

"Ah, I remember..."

"The slender-eyed guy who came to **** us at the beginning... said to his men: 'Get them all to the coast quickly'."

"Afterwards, I asked the man who was chasing me: Where will we be taken later, the man said: We will be taken to the east. As for where the east is, the man did not say."

"The coast? The East?" Yuan Yi raised his brows.

Just when Genichi was about to ask Hasegawa something more——

"The coast... **** ho, that's probably going to take Hikarimaru and Gourd Maru and head to Edo."

"Hoho, listen to your conversation just now, are you looking for someone?"

"If you're looking for someone~www.readwn.com~ then you have to arrive at the docks of these two ships before Rihui Maru and Hulu Maru set sail."

"Otherwise, when the second ship sails... **** ho, you have to be at sea, with a fearless mentality, use a samurai sword to chop the sailing battleships of England."

A voice that no one thought of, suddenly sounded.

Everyone at the scene, including Yuan Yi, was stunned.

Everyone looked at the person who said these words just now - the unkempt old man in the cell.
