I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Chapter 25: Ito 1 Swordsmanship

   Ogata could tell—Inoue was quite nervous now.

   Ogata and others are standing outside the Kumen of the Shioba Warehouse, waiting for the arrival of Matsuhira Genai.

   Inoue has been taking out his handkerchief from just now to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead.

   Inoue was already over 40 years old, and he was considered an old man in the Edo period.

   Looking at Inoue's legs that were trembling from tension, Ogata couldn't help but worry about him.

   "Master Inoue." Ogata asked towards Inoue, "Are you okay? Would you like to try to take a few deep breaths? If you keep taking deep breaths, you may feel better."

   "No." Inoue smiled bitterly and shook his head, "No need. I have taken a deep breath so that my chest hurts..."

   Compared to Inoue's tension, Ogata is much more relaxed.

   Waiting for Matsudaira Genai to come, he just needs to kneel on the ground.

   Aside from kneeling on the ground and welcoming the lord’s arrival, Ogata doesn’t have to do anything else.

   So Ogata didn't feel nervous, and even hoped that Matsuhira Genouchi would come to inspect the salt warehouse soon, so that they would be relieved sooner.

  ……

  ……

  While Ogata and others were waiting for the arrival of Matsuhira Genouchi, a samurai rushed towards Ogata and the others.

   Ogata recognized this samurai-also one of the treasury officers.

   But Ogata didn't know him well, and he just recognized him as one of his colleagues. Besides that, Ogata didn't even know his name.

   This colleague of the coffers rushed to the front and back of Ogata and the others, and said anxiously:

   "The lord is coming! Get ready!"

   As soon as the samurai's words fell, Inoue turned his head and said anxiously to Ogata and the others:

   "Quick! Kneel down! The lord is here!"

   After that, Inoue took the lead to kneel on his knees and buried his head deeply, almost touching his forehead to the ground.

After    fell to the ground on Inoue, Ogata and others followed suit.

   The air seemed to freeze at this moment.

   Inoue and Ogata’s colleagues slowed their breathing, not even daring to get out of the atmosphere.

   made Ogata feel a little nervous too.

  Gradually-Ogata gradually heard the sound of footsteps and horseshoes coming from far and near on his left hand.

   Judging from the loudness of footsteps and horseshoes-many people came.

   Because his hands were on the ground and his forehead was about to touch the ground, Ogata could only see the soil in front of the tip of his nose. Ogata couldn't see anything else.

   Therefore, naturally, I can't see the lord and his party walking slowly toward the Yanba warehouse.

   Ogata can't see it.

   also didn't dare to look at it.

   In this era, looking up at my lord without permission-this is presumptuous.

   Ogata didn't dare to try the law with his own body, and got into unnecessary trouble just to get a glimpse of the lord.

  ……

  ……

   Soon, the crowd of footsteps and horseshoes finally stopped in front of Ogata and others.

Da da.

   Ogata heard the sound of feet landing.

   It must be someone who is riding a horse jumped off the horse.

   "All raise your head."

   An extremely indifferent male voice, as if there is no emotional color in it, came into the ears of Ogata and others.

   "Thank you Lord!" Under the leadership of Inoue, Ogata and others chanted "Thank you" in unison.

   After raising his head, Okinawa saw a young man standing not far in front of them.

   This young man is wearing a light yellow kimono.

   Although Ogata doesn't understand clothes, he can see that the fabric used in this young man's clothes is quite high-quality.

   I don’t know how many years Ogata’s salary is needed to buy such a set of clothes.

   In addition, the side of the young man's waist is also seen from the hilt and scabbard, it can be seen that the cost is expensive.

   The young man's face was extremely pale.

  Ogata originally thought that the reason why this young man's face was so pale was probably because of the makeup powder.

   But after taking a closer look, Ogata realized that it was not like that.

   The young man did not apply any cosmetics on his face.

   His face is so pale.

   The bloodless face looks very crippled.

  The lips are thin, and the lips are as bloodless as his face.

  The eyes are very thin, there is no **** in the eyes, and they look carelessly.

   At a young age, wearing such exquisite clothes, with such a precious sword hanging on his waist, the identity of this young man is self-evident-it is the lord of the Hirose clan and the lord of Ogata and the others: Matsudaira Genuchi.

   Behind Matsuhira Genai stood a burly man with an extremely tall stature.

   Ogata recognized this brawny man.

   This brawny man must be the number one swordsman of their Hirose clan-Yuichiro Nanahara.

The name of    Nanahara, among the samurai of the Hirose clan, can be said to be known to everyone.

   Nanahara's title of "the first master of swordsmanship in the Hirose clan" was not touted.

   It was cut out bit by bit by relying on his own sword.

   Nanahara is the legend of Ito Kazuki.

  In the Edo period, various schools of swordsmanship began to award different stages of certificates or scrolls based on their disciples' strengths.

  Most of the sword skills genres, the certificates or scrolls awarded from low to high levels are: paper cutting, catalog, and exemption.

   Ogata’s Sakihara Kichiga is the certificate level in this order. The lowest certificate level is "paper cut", and the highest certificate level is "exempt all pass".

   Regardless of the order in which certificates are awarded for each genre ~ www.wuxiahere.com ~ the highest level of certificates, they are basically all-pass without permission.

   What does it mean to have an exemption from the genre?

   means that in the future, when you go out to fight against someone, as long as you take out your banned certificate, the enemy may be directly frightened and his legs tremble.

   The "exempt all pass" certificate contains quite a lot of gold, which means-it is quite difficult to obtain.

   Let’s take the Sakihara Kazuma Style as an example-the Sakura Sword Museum where Ogata is located. Since the establishment of the museum, no one has successfully obtained the certificate of exemption.

   Of course, this is also related to the Sakura Sword Museum being a young sword museum.

   Only a few years have passed since the establishment of the museum.

   Ogata himself was one of the first disciples who entered the museum to apprentice after the establishment of the Sakura Sword Museum.

   In short, no matter what kind of genre, the people who can get the exemption certificate of that genre are undoubtedly top powerhouses.

   This is the case with Shichihara, who owns Ito Kichijou's promises.

   It is said that Nanahara once fought with 10 people at the same time.

   In this one-on-ten life and death struggle with a huge gap in the number of people, Qihara relied on his extraordinary swordsmanship to kill these 10 people one after another.

   One-on-ten can still win a big victory-only in this battle, you can see how terrifying Qihara's strength is.

   Nanahara also relied on his extraordinary swordsmanship to gain the appreciation of the previous lord. Many years ago, he was sent to Matsudaira Gennai to serve as the personal guard of Matsudaira Gennai until today.

   Nanahara became the target of almost all the samurai of the Hirose clan who wanted to support themselves by swordsmanship.

   Qihara belonged to the kind of existence that only relied on swordsmanship to make progress, envy countless warriors.
