I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Popular recommendation:

"Mr. Hasegawa... We really have a very special fate."

Inside the carriage, Ogata looked at Hasegawa, who had a slightly strange sitting posture because of his injured leg in front of him.

There were only three people in the car, Ogata, A-machi, and Hasegawa.

Reuniting with Hasegawa in Koyasan again—it would be a little inappropriate not to say a few words to this person who had a wonderful fate with him who had been "on and off" many times.

Therefore, Ogata had just entrusted A-cho to help bring Hasegawa to the carriage where it was convenient for them to speak.

Without any outsiders here, Ogata can finally "recognize" Hasegawa with confidence and boldness.

"Every time I part with you, I think this should be the last time I will meet you." Hasegawa was also full of emotion at this time, only to hear him sigh silently, "It turns out that every time it is strange A place and a strange time to meet you again..."

Ogata smiled slightly, then put on a serious look and tone.

"Mr. Hasegawa, Mr. Isshiki, and the old monk, please take you to a safe place."

"Yeah." Hasegawa's expression also became serious at this time, "Leave it to me. This is my vocation as the chief thief of Huopay."

"It's ready to go at any time!" Asai's voice sounded at this moment. .

"Ah..." Hasegawa sighed heavily, then raised his hand and touched his injured leg, "If the leg wasn't injured... I really want to go with you..."

"Let Edo become like Butterfly Island... just thinking about it makes me restless..."

Hasegawa's face was now terribly pale.

Just now, when Xuanzheng spit out the words "human pillar" and "Edo war", when Ogata asked what Xuanzheng meant by these words, Xuanzheng only responded with a very simple sentence -

"If you explain it slowly... it's a bit too time-consuming. Do you know Chojima? To put it simply, it is to make Edo become like Chojima, and to make Edo become like Chojima, you need to use human pillars. By sinking the human pillar into the Kanda Joshui, where the people of Edo lived, Edo would become like the Butterfly Island."

The "goatee-bearded old monk" who didn't know what Butterfly Island was and the subordinates of Hasegawa looked puzzled.

But Ogata, Genichi, Hasegawa and the others changed their faces.

No need for any further discussion.

They quickly made up their minds - rushed to the dock and pursued Toyotomi!

The pursuers were naturally Ogata and Yuanyi and his party.

Hasegawa, who was already injured, fled to a safe place with his subordinates, the Isshiki family, and the old monk with the goatee beard.

Asai had already shouted "It's okay to start", Hasegawa walked towards the car very wisely.

However, just as Hasegawa was about to leave the carriage, his body suddenly stopped.

"...Ogata-kun."

Hasegawa slowly turned his head and looked directly at Ogata.

Before Ogata could ask "what's the matter", he listened to him say word by word:

"After I leave Koyasan, I will use the power I can to deal with Toyotomi as much as possible."

"Before that, please... be sure to stop that Toyotomi Nobuhide. We must not let Edo become like Chojima..."

"Please..."

Having said that, Hasegawa bowed his waist towards the "No. 1 Most Wanted Criminal in the Country" in front of him, and bowed solemnly to Ogata.

After bowing to Ogata, Hasegawa slowly left the carriage.

With some startled eyes, after watching Hasegawa leave, the corner of Ogata's mouth slowly drew a helpless arc.

"This time... I really got involved in an incredible incident..." He murmured in a voice that only he could hear clearly.

At this time, Yuan Yi and the others boarded the carriage one after another.

After confirming that everyone was in the car and that no one was missing, Asai shouted "Go", and then shook the reins in his hands.

The pained horse raised its two front hooves, shouted "Hui Hui" a few times, and then pulled the carriage behind it and ran forward.

However—just as the carriage started, a figure suddenly appeared on the curb in front of the carriage and stood directly in front of the carriage.

Startled, Asai hurriedly pulled the carriage to a stop, then fixed his eyes on it—the person standing in front of him was the "goatee old monk" who had been lying on Ogata's back just now.

The carriage that Ogata was riding was exactly the one that Asai was driving.

Ogata, who wondered why Asai stopped immediately after starting it, stuck his head out of the carriage.

Looking at the "old monk with goatee beard" who stopped in front of the car, Ogata was startled: "Sir, what are you doing?"

"Please take me with you!" shouted "Old Goatee Monk", "No matter what, I want to see with my own eyes who dares to defile my Koya Mountain!"

Seeing the "goatee-bearded old monk" who was so stubborn that he didn't turn his head against Nanshan, Ogata couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, and then deliberately shouted in a vicious tone:

"Sir! The place we are going next is not yours! If you really follow us, you might die!"

"Please get out of the way!"

"If you don't let go, we'll knock you out of the way!"

If it is true as Xuanzheng said—the two ships, Hikki Maru and Hulu Maru, are about to carry Xiao Rin and set sail for Edo, then now is really the time to race against time.

Ogata, who didn't want to spend too much time on "persuading the old monk to leave", directly threatened the "old goatee monk" in order to persuade the "old goatee monk" to move away.

"Hey..." As soon as Ogata's threatening words fell, Asai, who was in charge of the car, couldn't help but whispered to Ogata who was behind, "Don't be kidding... I won't drive an innocent old man..."

"It's just to scare him. I'm not cruel enough to be rough with an innocent old man." Ogata replied in a low voice.

Ogata wondered if his threat just now worked, and he saw a look of thought on the face of the "goatee old monk".

Immediately after, after a while, the "goatee old monk" stood silently back to the roadside without saying a word.

Seeing that the "Old Monk with Goatee Beard" was made to move aside, Ogata couldn't help but let out a long breath.

Xu gave Asai a wink, and then Asai nodded forcefully, he raised the reins again, and drove the carriage straight ahead.

The carriage driven by Shimada followed closely behind.

Hasegawa stood there, watching Ogata and the others go away.

"Lord Hasegawa..." After Ogata and the others left, one of Hasegawa's subordinate silently walked to Hasegawa's side and asked, "Before, what did the old man say 'to make Edo look like Butterfly Island'? So'...what does that mean?"

"And—are we just letting Ogata Ichitosai and Mamiya Kuro leave...?"

Hasegawa gave him a deep glance.

"...We don't care about Ogata Ichitosai and Mamiya Kuro now."

he replied.

"So many people are injured on our side, and there are people who need our protection."

"At any time, the priority of protecting the safety of the people of Limin is higher than catching thieves."

"Besides, with our current number of people, it is impossible to catch those two people."

"Anyway, it's time to move the people and the wounded to a safe place."

"The rest will be discussed later."

Having said that, Hasegawa turned his head and counted the number of people.

His subordinates - not a few.

One-colored family members - there are no less.

That "goatee old monk"—hmm...?

Hasegawa opened his eyes and hurriedly looked around.

"Hello!" Hasegawa hurriedly asked his subordinates, "What about the old monk with the goatee? Did you see him?"

The subordinates who realized it later, hurriedly cast a look around.

The "goatee old monk" who had just swaggered in the middle of the road to stop the car disappeared without a trace...

…

…

Lin saw many pictures that were sealed in the back of her mind, appearing and dissipating in front of her one by one.

Looking at the scenes that were constantly flying in front of her eyes, Lin instantly understood that she was dreaming right now.

Knowing that she was dreaming now, Lin couldn't wake up.

It was like his body was being tied to a chair, his limbs could not move, he could only watch the memory images stored in his mind pop up in front of his eyes.

Among the pictures that are constantly appearing and disappearing, only one scene remains, and then slowly solidifies, and finally condenses into a specific scene.

Lin could tell at a glance: this was the hillside she used to play when she was a child.

It was not until her grandmother and mother passed away that she left her hometown with Yuanyi and went out to explore.

Before that, she had been living with her family in a remote countryside somewhere in the Satsuma domain.

The poor life of childhood has sharpened Lin's willpower.

With this tempered will, as well as her hard work, talent and opportunity, she built the Gourd House in a very short period of time.

In essence—Lin didn’t have a hard life since she was born.

Before her father died and her brother ran away from home without taking away all the family's belongings, Lin's life was not a life of fine clothes and food, but it was also a worry-free life.

On weekdays, I even have free time to play on a hillside not far from my home.

Looking at the hillside in front of her, looking at the extremely familiar grass and trees in front of her... Lin guessed that her current gaze must be quite soft.

This is her childhood paradise.

It is also a "treasure" that she has cherished very much until now.

However, just as Lin was looking at this treasured place with a lot of nostalgia on her face, out of the corner of her eyes, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a petite figure that made her open her mouth involuntarily.

She saw herself.

She saw herself, who was two sizes smaller than her current self, running towards a dead tree on the hillside with the "bump da da" footwork unique to children.

-etc…!

Lin's pupils shrank suddenly after seeing this scene.

-this is…!

She recalled suddenly.

Looking back...it happened when she was 4 years old..."that event".

Stop, don't go there - Lin subconsciously wanted to warn "Little Lin" who was still running towards the dead tree.

But she found that she could not speak.

Her body couldn't move either.

She could only... just like a spectator, watching "Xiao Xiaolin" run towards the dead tree, towards the boy who was squatting under the dead tree.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

"Little Xiaolin" asked the young man crisply.

The teenager raised his head and showed a gentle smile to "Xiao Xiaolin".

"A stinky cat scratched me just now, so I'm teaching him a lesson."

"I was just about to see if a cat would be so cute after being skinned."

After saying this in a naturally comfortable tone, the young man moved his body to the side to make enough space so that "Xiao Xiaolin" could see clearly what he had been messing with.

Under the boy's body was a kitten that had been skinned from the head and only half-skinned.

Only half of the kitten is left with fur.

Only the **** body remained on the upper half of the body.

When the boy let his body aside, the kitten's furless face was facing "Xiao Xiaolin".

The kitten's eyes that have no expression, just happened to meet "Xiao Xiaolin"...

At this point in the dream, the scene in front of me began to blur and distort.

When the dream was broken, the last voice Lin heard was the scream of "Little Xiao Lin"...

…

…

"Um…"

Lin murmured softly and slowly opened her eyes.

- I'm here...?

Lin, who had just woken up from a dream and her mind was still in chaos, glanced around with a blank gaze.

[To tell the truth, recently I have been using Mimi to read and read books to keep up with updates, switch sources, and read aloud tones, which can be used by Android and Apple. 】

She found herself in a slightly dim room now.

There is almost no furniture, only some simple furniture such as desks and cabinets.

Lin subconsciously wanted to move her body.

But after moving her hands and feet, she suddenly found that she couldn't move.

Hastily looked down - she was tied tightly to a European-style wooden chair.

The upper body is tightly bound to the back of the chair.

The two legs of the lower body are tied together with the two chair legs respectively.

The only thing that can move on the body is only the place above the neck.

The memory before falling asleep flashed quickly in Lin's mind at this moment.

Invited by Yukimura, who is almost half a member of her Gourd House, she goes to Yukimura's house alone for a dinner party...

Before taking a few bites of the meal, a large group of unidentified people armed with muskets suddenly rushed out...

Due to being raided, she was unable to prepare in time, plus the number of enemies was large, and they were all armed with artillery, and the terrain was also very unfavorable to Lin, so although she had launched a counterattack at the first time, she was still outnumbered. Knock down, knock out.

When you wake up again...it's now.

- Where is this place? ! What about Mamiya and the others? !

At this moment, Lin noticed that there was a window on the wall not far from her.

She stretched her neck hard, trying to follow the window to view the scene outside the window.

But because the height of the body is not high enough and the angle is limited, Lin's neck hurts a little when she stretches, and she can't see the scene outside the window.

However—even though she couldn't see the scene outside the window, she could smell the smell wafting from the window and the sound coming from the window.

She smelled the salty smell characteristic of the sea.

She heard the waves crashing against the shore.

- I'm... at the seaside?

When Lin was shocked that she was now at the seaside—

"Oh, Xiaolin, you're awake."

"Because I think you should be about to wake up, so I've been waiting here, waiting for you to wake up."

"Looks like I've really waited."

These words... No, it should be this voice, as if it had some kind of magic power on Lin.

Lin felt her nerves... numb at this moment.

The pupil zooms to the size of the pinhole at this moment.

As if she couldn't wait to know the truth, she turned her head sharply to look in the direction from the male voice just now.

Just now, because she just woke up, her brain was still in a state of chaos, her sanity was not clear, and the room was dark, so Lin didn't realize until now that there was a young man sitting in an inconspicuous corner of the room.

I saw the young man with a gentle smile on his face, slowly got up and walked towards Lin.

Looking at the young man who was getting closer and closer to her, Lin was horrified at first, and then the horror on her face slowly turned into resentment as if she saw an enemy.

"Xinxiu...!" Lin clenched her teeth and squeezed the young man's name out of her teeth.

"Xiao Lin, long time no see." Toyotomi Nobuhide said softly, "How many years have we not seen each other?"

As if trying to stay away from Toyotomi Nobuhide, Lin struggled a few times with her body tightly bound to the chair.

"I knew you wouldn't be honest when you woke up." Toyotomi Nobuhide continued to smile, "So I specially tied you up first."

"Stop struggling. You can't break free."

"That's it..." Lin raised her head, her gaze was as if she wanted to slaughter Toyotomi Nobuhide with a knife, "Are all those iron gunners who suddenly appeared and knocked me out, are all yours?! "

"That's right." The smile on Toyotomi Nobuhide's face became stronger, "The whole process of catching you... It's much easier than I thought."

"…Where is this place?"

Lin's rapid breathing at first gradually calmed down, and her body no longer struggled.

The vicious gaze that was originally staring at Toyotomi Nobuhide has also become a lot calmer.

However—when she looked at Toyotomi Nobuhide, the disgust and hatred in her eyes didn't change much.

"Oh..." Looking at Lin who regained her composure so quickly, Toyotomi Nobuhide exclaimed in a low voice, "As expected of my sister, Toyotomi Nobuhide, she regained her composure so quickly."

Toyotomi Nobuhide glanced at the window next to him.

"We are on my battleship now. And here, is the room I live in."

"Battleship?" Lin was startled.

"Battleship: Hikari Maru." Toyotomi Nobuhide raised his hand and patted the wooden wall next to him, "In order to get this Hikki Maru and the Hulu Maru next to me, I almost smuggled my family property accumulated over the years through the business. emptied."

"But—it's worth the money."

"What do you want to do?!" Lin's voice became uncontrollably excited again, "Suddenly grabbed me and brought me to the ship, what are you doing?!"

"I didn't want to do anything." Toyotomi Nobuhide squatted down slowly at this time, making his eyes level with Lin's, "I just suddenly missed you and wanted to see you, so I..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Lin:

"Shut up! You don't believe it yourself!"

Lin gritted her teeth, the hatred in her eyes was burning.

"If you are really such a person who attaches great importance to feelings, why would you take away all the belongings in the house before leaving home, and never return home?"

"Aiya..." Toyotomi Nobuhide, who still had a smile on his face, raised his hand and scratched his hair, "Xiao Lin, I can't believe that you haven't seen each other for so many years, and you still haven't changed at all... As soon as you started talking to me, So aggressive."

"Okay, then I'm not joking."

Toyotomi Nobuhide put down his hand scratching his hair.

"After a while, the ship will set sail eastward, heading for Edo."

"The moment my two ships arrived in Edo Bay, was when my 'Edo war' was launched."

"Edo...he fought?" The blood on Lin's face faded a little uncontrollably. "Are you... going to attack Edo?"

Toyotomi Nobuhide nodded with a smile: "I've been waiting for this day...but it's been too long. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"

"Are you crazy?!" Lin shouted subconsciously.

Rin knew exactly what kind of big city Edo was.

With a clear understanding of the scale of Edo, Lin subconsciously equated attacking Edo with going crazy.

"I'm not crazy." The smile on Toyotomi Nobuhide's face became more meaningful, "I have full confidence in winning Edo."

"Ah, a rare opportunity. Since you're my sister and you're going to make a huge contribution to my 'Edo Hezhan', I'll show you something good... something I haven't shown to a few people."

"Just that thing is stored in my room."

After all, Toyotomi Nobuhide got up and walked to a small cabinet next to him. After fiddling in the small cabinet for a while, he took out a small and medium-sized brocade box.

A small but extremely complicated-looking lock hangs from the brocade box.

Toyotomi Nobuhide took out a small key from his pocket and unlocked the brocade box.

Holding the brocade box with the lid off, he walked slowly back to Lin, showing Lin the contents of the box.

As soon as her eyes swept into the brocade box, Lin's body couldn't help but tremble slightly with astonishment.

I saw that inside the brocade box... there was a young woman's head.

The young woman, with her eyes closed, looked peaceful and looked as if she was asleep.

"What is this?" Lin asked subconsciously.

"This..." Toyotomi Nobuhide's face slowly showed smugness, "This is the head of the eight hundred bhikkhunis."
