I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Chapter 260: Negotiations with the shogunate

"I was a swordsman in ancient Japan(

"Let's talk about my business first." Ogata smiled slightly, and said in a relaxed tone, "Since I have no worries about my life now, I will say my life later."

"Let's talk about it after dealing with the current affairs first."

"Now our ship is still docked at Butterfly Island, right?"

Mamiya and others nodded.

"Can such a large warship be maneuverable?" Ogata couldn't help but ask the question he had after seeing the warship for the first time.

This warship that can carry hundreds of generals is very big, not an ordinary boat.

Whether it is possible to operate such a large warship-this has become a problem that Ogata is now very concerned about.

He didn't want to take the boss's energy to **** a ship, but it turned out to be a farce that he couldn't operate the ship.

As soon as Ogata's words fell, Mamiya answered without thinking:

"Can be manipulated."

"During the time you passed in a coma, I was teaching the villagers how to manipulate this type of warship, and now they can probably start the warship."

Ogata's eyes widened immediately: "You can even control warships?"

"I used to learn how to operate various types of warships in the Yuanjiang area."

As soon as Mamiya finished speaking, Kinosuke on the side immediately answered:

"Now this ship can move at any time."

"I plan to leave soon and go to Japan's main island to find officials from the shogunate."

"It's life or death... It's decided today."

"Master Ogata, this ship is carrying two small boats for escape."

"You can leave here on one of the small boats."

"The next thing... we will do it ourselves."

Kinosuke knows Ogata's identities.

Ogata and the others were the prisoners who were thrown on the butterfly island. If they took a big ship to follow them to find the officials of the shogunate, it would be a death-hunting behavior.

Even if Kinosuke and the others can really persuade the shogunate to let them and the islanders a way of life, the people of the shogunate could not let Ogata and the others a way of life.

Even if Ogata and the others are not put to death on the spot, they will definitely be thrown back into prison.

Therefore, Ogata's best choice at the moment is as Kinosuke said just now-take a small boat and part ways with Kinosuke.

Kinosuke took this warship to negotiate with the shogunate and find a way out.

On the other hand, Ogata and the others took the small boat carried by this warship and flew far away, returning to their career as a ronin.

Ogata did not comment on Kinosuke's suggestion.

Only to the near helper asked:

"Have you thought of persuading the shogunate to release your lines of life?"

"The benefactor of Ogata..." As soon as Ogata's voice fell, Zonghai smiled slightly, "The person responsible for direct negotiations with the officials of the shogunate has been changed from Lord Konosuke to me."

"Huh?" Ogata cast a surprised look.

"During the time you were in a coma, the benefactor of Ogata, the little monk had personally confessed everything to Lord Kinosuke and the rest of the villagers."

Speaking of this, a faint smile appeared on Zong Hai's face.

And Kinosuke also showed a helpless smile at this time.

"I have personally confessed to everyone that I concealed the fact that I had known that there was a problem with the water of the Linon River."

"Fortunately, everyone treated each other generously and was not beaten by everyone."

"What you said to the little monk in front of the gate of Tenmanji Temple, the benefactor Ogata, is still in your ears."

"After that, the little monk also reflected on what he did."

"The little monk has now decided-to make a remedy as much as I can."

"And I tried my best to let the shogunate let all the residents on this island make a living-this is the first remedy I have to do."

"The young monk is a monk. What the monk says can be heard by the senior officials of the shogunate."

"At the same time, the little monk is quite confident in his eloquence."

"Furthermore—the benefactor Qingren Matsumoto will also go with the little monk."

"Sponsor Matsumoto has agreed to stand with us and speak for us."

"With Matsumoto's help, the possibility of persuading shogunate officials should be higher."

"Matsumoto..." Ogata mumbled the name, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

He didn't expect that this person who was picked up by Mamiya and Maki Village could play such a big role.

Ogata heard from Matsumoto that he was one of the researchers sent to the island by the shogunate. According to him, he was also a well-known doctor in the medical circle, and he had treated many senior officials and celebrities in the shogunate.

If Matsumoto, a well-known man who had served for the shogunate, assisted him, it would indeed make Kinosuke's negotiation success rate higher.

"After meeting the officials of the shogunate, they will inevitably be asked-what happened to the soldiers who landed on the island? How did you get this warship."

Zong Hai smiled bitterly as he spoke.

"If the officials of the shogunate asked me that, Ogata benefactor, can I answer that way?"

"I said directly-it was killed by a few prisoners. After killing all the soldiers who landed on the island, because this warship cannot be controlled by a few people, these prisoners forced us islanders to assist in maneuvering the ship."

"The ship was halfway out, and these prisoners discovered the original small boat on the ship."

"So dropped us and left in a small boat."

"Yes." Ogata nodded without hesitation. "Except for forcing you to steer the boat, there is nothing wrong with it..."

"You just said that the soldiers of the shogunate were killed by a ronin wearing a light green-colored haori and keeping his head hair."

"You don't need to bring the three of Amachi, Mamiya, and Makimura."

"Anyway, I am a felon wanted by the whole country."

"I don't mind making my head more valuable."

The reason Ogata said this was to protect Amachi and the others.

Let them not be noticed by the shogunate in the future, and will not be wanted by the shogunate.

And as soon as Ogata's voice fell, Mamiya smiled:

"Bring me too. More than a hundred shogunate soldiers were killed by 2 people-this is more credible."

"Anyway, I'm also a wanted criminal, so I'm not afraid of being wanted."

"In fact, there is no need to explain to the shogun what the prisoners who killed the soldiers looked like." Zong Hai smiled bitterly. "Just say something like'small eyes' and'normal height' in general. The characteristics of the masses are fine."

"It's up to you. It doesn't matter whether I want to elaborate on my appearance or nonsense." At this point, Ogata paused.

Turning his head too far, he took a few glances at Kinosuke and Zonghai, cast encouraging glances at them, and then continued:

"We have done everything we can do for you."

"The rest is up to you."

"I wish you prosperous martial arts."

After receiving Ogata's blessing, Kinosuke and Zongkai both showed faint smiles.

"Yeah." Zong Hai nodded vigorously. "The little monk also wishes all the donors a prosperous martial arts!"

...

...

"Master Inamori! Master Inamori!"

An urgent shout suddenly sounded outside the account.

"What's the matter?" Inamori, who was dealing with military affairs in the account, asked in a deep voice.

"The troops who landed on the island are back!"

"Have you finally come back..."

After such a grumble, Inamori stood up and walked out of the tent.

It is dusk now.

The troops who landed on Butterfly Island last night, according to the original plan, should be in class at noon today.

It was so long before coming back, so Inamori couldn't help but wonder what happened to them on the island and why they didn't come back until dusk.

After rushing to a place where the ship could be seen, Inamori stopped and looked in the distance.

Listening to a warship on the sea not far away.

This warship was surprisingly the warship that was responsible for transporting the 150 generals to the island last night.

"...What's the matter?" Inamori's brows wrinkled, "Why aren't they moving?"

After the warship reached a position still some distance from the coast, it suddenly stopped on the surface of the sea.

As soon as Inamori's mind had doubts, he saw a small boat lowered from the warship and slowly approaching the coast.

With his fairly good eyesight, Inamori barely saw two people sitting on the small boat.

"What the **** is going on...!" Inamori, who realized something was wrong, drank in a deep voice, and walked quickly toward the coast.

When Inamori reached the coast, the small boat carrying two people also just arrived.

There were two people on this boat, one of them was a monk with a bald head and wearing monk clothes.

The other is a young man with a plain appearance.

After these two men saw the many soldiers surrounding them, the young man showed fear on his face.

As for the monk, his face didn't change.

"I am a monk doing cleaning on Butterfly Island!"

"There is important news about the ogre to tell the officials of the shogunate!"

The monk's words changed Inamori's expression a lot.

How did your ship come from? Where are the soldiers who landed on the island? What's the important news about ogres... I want to ask questions full of questions.

After hesitating for a while, Inamori said to a subordinate next to him:

"Take these two people to the open space of the big camp."

Although there are full of doubts, this place is not a suitable place to talk after all.

——Take them to a place suitable for conversation first.

Inamori said this in his heart, turning and leaving.

...

...

Under the guidance of the soldiers, Zonghai and Matsumoto were taken to an empty spot in the camp.

Kneeling and sitting in the center of this open space, the two quietly waited for the arrival of the officials who will start negotiations with them.

In order to prevent the rest of the people from hearing their conversation, the surrounding area of ​​this clearing seemed to be emptied. Looking around, I didn't see anyone other than Zonghai and Matsumoto.

Zonghai and Matsumoto didn't wait long.

After a while, four people slowly appeared in front of Zonghai and Matsumoto from the side of the open space under the **** of some soldiers.

These four people are Matsuba Matshinbu, Inamori, Kamiyama Koshinosuke, and Hanai Zonggen.

Inamori wanted to talk to Zonghai and the others by himself.

But it didn’t come to my mind—Matsuhira Dingxin, after knowing that there was an Island Democracy on Butterfly Island, came to the door, and said that there was important news about ogres, he showed some interest, and he took the initiative to see Zong. The sea duo.

After seeing these four people, Matsumoto, who was kneeling beside Zong Hai, suddenly shouted with excitement:

"Ms. Banjing!"

"Huh?" Banjing looked surprised, and then showed ecstasy, "Matsumoto! Are you still alive?!"

"Oh?" Shenshan standing beside Banjing raised his eyebrows, "Master Banjing, do you know this person?"

"Yeah!" Hanjing nodded vigorously, "It's one of the students who are down."

"I was one of the researchers who was previously responsible for landing the island to study ogre."

"Matsumoto!" Tears flickered in Hanjing's eyes, "I thought you were dead! I didn't expect you to be alive!"

"Yes!" Tears flickered in Matsumoto's eyes. "The students didn't expect to have a chance to see you, teacher, in this life!"

Seeing that Banjing met Matsumoto unexpectedly, Zong Hai's face also flashed a look of surprise.

While the color of surprise flashed, a bit of joy also emerged.

The people on his side have a not-so-shallow relationship with the senior shogunate on the other side-this is after all good news that will benefit their subsequent negotiations.

Matsudaira was not very interested in the meeting between Hanai and their apprentices.

After glancing at Zong Hai, he said in a non-salty or indifferent tone:

"What is your name?"

"The little monk is called Zonghai. When I came to your place this time, I had to inform the shogunate about very important information about cannibals."

"Master Zonghai, before that, please tell me what happened to the 150 soldiers who landed on the island." Matsubishi said softly, "And-how did your warship come?"

To this question of Matsudaira Matshinbu, Sokai answered with the answer that Ogata and the others had discussed.

It is said that all the generals who landed on the island were killed by six prisoners.

After killing all the soldiers who landed on the island and snatching the warship, it was discovered that six people on such a large warship could not be manipulated, so they coerced the islanders to assist in maneuvering the ship.

After the six prisoners killed all the generals who landed on the island, the only remaining generals were able to find out the reason why they, the Shogunate soldiers, landed on the island.

These six prisoners threatened them on the grounds that "the shogunate intends to kill all the living people on the island, and escape with them if they don't want to die."

These unarmed civilians can only obediently succumb to the power of these six prisoners.

When the warship was halfway through the sea, the six prisoners suddenly discovered that the warship was still carrying a small boat.

So the six prisoners left them in a small boat and left the warship to them, the islanders, and let them fend for themselves.

In order to enhance the credibility ~www.wuxiahere.com~ Zong Hai also specially pretended to be a pair of unknown names of the 6 prisoners, and only summarized their appearance.

Of course-Zong Hai's summary of the appearance of the six prisoners is all nonsense.

Only said some rather general descriptions such as "one of the eyes is smaller" and "the other is stronger".

And Zong Hai’s summary of the appearance of the six prisoners is also difficult to single out the mistake-after all, it is indeed difficult to tell what a person looks like with just a mouth.

In order to increase the credibility of Zonghai's remarks, Matsumoto on the side also earnestly agreed, saying that what Zonghai said was true.

After listening to Zong Hai's recount, Songping Dingxin looked calm throughout.

But Inamori's expression changed.

After all, it was his soldier who died.

"Hey!" Inamori shouted angrily, "Six people killed hundreds of our generals? Who are you lying to?!"

There are many doubts in Zong Hai's narration just now.

When Inamori just wanted to question Zonghai one by one based on these doubts, Matsudaira Matshinbu on the side raised his hand and swayed towards him.

Use gestures to signal Inamori not to say much.

Seeing Matsuhira Dingxin made this action, Inamori could only hold back the full of resentment and doubts.

Matsudaira is different from Inamori-he doesn't really care what happened to the 150 soldiers who landed on the island.

Who killed these generals? Did these islanders participate in the attack on the generals who landed on the island? Matsuhira Dingxin doesn't care about these issues, and he doesn't bother to investigate them.

He was more concerned about the islander Zonghai who knew that the shogunate was going to bloodbath Butterfly Island, but he dared to find what the shogunate wanted.

He didn't believe that Zong Hai made a special trip to find them just to inform them of important information about cannibals.
