I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

"I was a swordsman in ancient Japan(

There is no way Inamori is as indifferent to the generals on the island like Matsuba Matshinbu.

Although Matsuhira Dingxin raised his hand to signal him to be quiet, Inamori still whispered to Matsuhira Dingxin with unwillingness:

"Old Master Zhong, there are many doubts about what the monk said just now."

"I think it should be carefully interrogated."

However--Matsuhira Matsuri, who didn't think what happened to the generals on the island, was so important, he only said indifferently:

"I'll talk about this kind of problem slowly in the future."

Hearing these words from Matsudaira, Inamori's heart sank immediately.

He is too familiar with this kind of Mandarin.

Coupled with the indifferent appearance of Matsuhira Dingxin, I am afraid that in the future, he will not spend too much energy to investigate the truth of all the soldiers who landed on the island.

After sighing silently, Inamori said to Matsuba Matshinbu:

"Old Master, if what this monk said is true, then I think we should immediately pursue those who killed our generals. They are also prisoners, so they can't let the 6 prisoners just sway with impunity."

Matshinori did not object to Inamori's suggestion, and nodded gently.

"Hey!" Inamori shouted to Zonghai, "Which way did the six prisoners who escaped by boat escaped!"

Zong Hai pointed to the west: "Fleeing towards that."

After taking a look at the direction Zonghai was pointing, Inamori immediately issued a military order to the generals beside him, asking him to organize the troops to chase in the direction Zonghai was pointing.

Of course—Inamori was skeptical of what Zong Hai said from beginning to end.

So Inamori didn't foolishly send chasing troops in the direction Zonghai pointed out. He sent chasing troops in all directions.

Of course-not only the number and appearance of the prisoners are nonsense, but the direction Zong Hailian pointed to is indeed the wrong direction.

Ogata and the others did not flee to the west at all.

Inamorimoto also wanted the soldiers to look up the list of prisoners to see which prisoners fit the appearance characteristics that Zong Hai just mentioned.

But after thinking about it, Inamori gave up his idea.

If you really check according to the most popular appearance features that Zong Hai just said, at least half of the prisoners on the list meet these features.

As for Matsuhira Dingxin-after agreeing to let Inamori send chasers to chase the escaped prisoners, he said to Zonghai in a lightly playful tone:

"Since you have learned from the prisoners that our shogunate decided to bloodbath Butterfly Island, how dare you come to us?"

"You just said that you came here to tell us important information about cannibals-I'm afraid it's fake, right?"

"You are here to persuade us to let you islanders make a living, am I right?"

After listening to Songping Dingxin's words quietly, a bitter smile appeared on Zong Hai's face.

"...You are right. The little monk came here, hoping to find a way out for the common people of Butterfly Island."

"...Then tell me." Matsudaira decided to stand with his hand, "Try to give me a reason to make up my mind to let your life go."

"Ah, I forgot to introduce myself."

"After talking for so long, I haven't introduced myself. It's really rude."

"My name is Songping Dingxin, please advise."

After knowing the name of this middle-aged man, both Zonghai and Matsumoto's expressions changed.

Needless to say Matsumoto.

Even Zonghai, who lives in seclusion in a remote place, has heard of the new and old daimyo of the shogunate.

Neither of them thought that the object of their negotiation would be the veteran of the shogunate.

Although Matsumoto is a small well-known doctor, it is the first time he has seen such a high-level official. He was already a little nervous, and his face became paler because of this.

Even Zong Hai felt his heartbeat speed up a little bit.

After taking a few deep breaths and reluctantly letting his heartbeat become a little bit smoother, Zong Hai spoke fluently to the rhetoric he had prepared.

Zong Hai gave a brief and concise summary of what happened to him before the outbreak of the "Cannibal Rebellion" to Songping Dingxin and others.

From Heshi and Hezhi, the strange pair of masters and apprentices moved to their Butterfly Island, all the way to the sudden departure of the two and Hezhi specially warned him not to drink the water of the Linong River on the eve of their departure.

However, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Zong Hai concealed the fact that "He Zhi also gave him the medicine that can suppress the undead poison".

At the end of the talk, Zong Hai made a concluding evaluation:

"The instigator of the series of changes in Butterfly Island is most likely He Shi and He Zhi, the mysterious pair of masters and disciples."

Speaking of this, Zonghai paused and looked up to observe the reaction of Songping Dingxin and others at this time.

Whether Songping Dingxin, or the rest of the dignitaries beside him, his face was filled with astonishment at this time.

Especially Matsuba Dingxin-the look on his face sank directly at this time.

Is the riot on Butterfly Island formed naturally or man-made-the difference between the two can be said to be very different.

If the riots on Butterfly Island were really caused by the suspicious pair of masters and apprentices, Matsuhira had no choice but to reassess the degree of harm of this "ogre riot".

Seeing Songping Dingxin that these people were all stern, Zong Hai felt a little relieved.

Let Songping Dingxin and others have a sense of crisis-it is considered that Zong Hai's expectations have been initially reached.

After clearing his throat, Zong Hai continued:

"If this ogre disaster is man-made, then the little monk believes that-we must be prepared. We must hurry up and study the ogre."

"And those of us who will become ogres after death are the best objects for research and observation!"

"Keep us, the research on ogres is absolutely profitable and harmless!"

This is the argument that Zonghai and the villagers headed by Kinosuke have discussed and concluded that it is possible to persuade Matsuba Matshin to give them a way to survive-let Matsuba Matshin keep them as research observation objects for ogre research.

This is the only value in them.

Except for this card, they have no cards to play.

It's better to be an experimental research object than to just die unexplainedly.

Although life may not be better as an experimental research object, and it may even be worse than death... But under the instinct of survival, the islanders headed by Kinosuke decided to give it up.

Songping Dingxin didn't go to Ying Zonghai immediately.

Instead, he frowned slightly, pursed his lips, and began to think.

At this moment, the famous doctor Hanjing standing next to Songping Dingxin said in a deep voice:

"Old Master...If the ogre chaos on Butterfly Island is man-made... then I think it is necessary to restart the research on ogre."

"While keeping the islanders of Butterfly Island, thoroughly check the source of the Linong River."

"If the islanders of Butterfly Island become ogres, it really is because they drank the water of the Linong River. Then it shows that something must be wrong with the source of the Linong River."

Seeing Banjing help them in disguise, Zonghai and Matsumoto Kiyohito both expressed joy.

However-Songping Dingxin still did not immediately express his position.

Songping's long refusal to make a statement made Zong Hai slowly anxious.

-Take a gamble!

After screaming like this in his heart, Zong Hai gritted his teeth and said loudly to Songping Dingxin:

"Old Master! Don't you want the shogunate to master this power that can make people immortal?"

Zong Hai's remarks caused everyone present to be surprised.

After hearing Zong Hai's words, Songping Dingxin raised his eyebrows, and his eyes flashed with strange light.

"The little monk doesn't know much about ogres."

Zong Hai continued.

"But-the little monk is sure that the culprit that caused the islanders of Butterfly Island to become ogres must not be a disease!"

"Ordinary diseases don't have such great ability to make people immortal!"

"The little monk boldly speculates here-the culprit that caused the islanders of Butterfly Island to become ogres is a special power!"

"Similar to a special power like the mermaid meat that can make eight hundred bhikuni become immortal."

"A special power that can be compared with the power of gods, demons, and Buddha!"

"Old Master, don't you want to hold this powerful force in your hands, so that the Edo Shogunate can continue for generations?"

This rhetoric was made up temporarily by Zong Hai just now.

Although Zong Hai doesn't know much about the new and old Zhong Songping's letter, he has also heard some rumors about him.

As far as Zonghai knows-Matsudaira is a man who is extremely loyal to the shogun and the Edo shogunate

He is someone who can do whatever it takes to protect the Edo Shogunate.

The major reforms he is currently working on with the shogun are in full swing to revitalize the Edo Shogunate.

So Zong Hai temporarily came up with this set of rhetoric to persuade Songping to trust.

The culprit that caused the islanders of Butterfly Island to turn into ogre is a special power-this is actually what Zong Hai said casually.

The reason why he said casually that what caused the "Ogre Rebellion" was a special force, just to facilitate him to persuade Matsuhira Dingxin to make up his mind to study ogres and leave them a way out for the Butterfly Island islanders.

After saying this, Zong Hai immediately couldn't wait to observe the changes in Songping Dingxin's expression.

Although it was very subtle, Zong Hai's indeed sensed that after listening to what he had just said, Zonghai's expression was really slightly different from what he had just said.

Songping Dingxin cast a meaningful look at Zonghai.

After a while, Matsubishi Dingxin finally slightly opened the mouth that had been tightly closed since just now.

In a panic, Zong Hai finally waited for Songping Dingxin’s answer...

...

...

After Zonghai and Matsumoto Kiyohito set out to negotiate with the shogunate, Kinosuke and others all lay on the fence of the battleship, waiting for Zonghai and the others to return.

After waiting anxiously for nearly an hour, they finally saw the figures of Zonghai and Matsumoto appearing in their field of vision again.

The two returned to the warship in the small boat they had set off.

As soon as they boarded the deck of the battleship, Kinosuke and others surrounded Zonghai and the others nervously.

"Zonghai..." Kinosuke took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. "The people from the shogunate...what did you say?"

Zong Hai did not immediately answer Kinosuke's question.

Instead, he looked around the surrounding islanders blankly.

then--

Smiled slightly.

"Fortunately not insulting my life."

With the fall of Zong Hai's words, cheers that seemed to lift the entire sky immediately broke out on the deck.

Zong Hai simply told everyone about the conditions given to them by Kuematsu's Pingding Letter-they can let them make a living.

But they will be placed on an uninhabited desert island not far from Butterfly Island.

Although there is no freedom, the shogunate will ensure their daily diet and safety.

And their obligation is to obey the shogunate's arrangements obediently, not to leave the island without the shogunate's permission, and obediently cooperate with their research on cannibals.

For Kinosuke, as long as they can continue to live.

Even if you may live very frustrated, as long as you can continue to live.

As long as we can live, these obligations are not a problem at all.

Being too excited, Kinosuke hugged Zonghai directly.

"Zong Hai...Thanks for your hard work..."

For Kinosuke's thanks, Zonghai just smiled and did not speak.

Zong Hai raised his head.

I looked at the sky that had been dyed into orange by the sunset.

Then whispered in a low volume that only you can hear:

"Ogata benefactor... we... survived..."

...

...

After Kinosuke and Sokai sailed away from Choshima, the four of Ogata and the others took one of the small boats carried on the battleship and parted ways with Kinosuke.

Ogata and the others are heading south toward the depths of the sea.

Make a big circle near the sea, go to a place far away from the shogunate barracks, and then land-this is Ogata's plan.

However, after parting with Kinosuke and the others, Ogata and the others did not leave immediately.

Instead, they kept keeping a distance from the warship that Kinosuke and the others were riding in, so that they could always see the warship.

The reason why they did not leave immediately was mainly because Ogata wanted to know whether Kinosuke had succeeded in persuading the officials of the shogunate.

Even though they were far apart, Ogata and the others could clearly hear the huge cheers from the battleship.

Hearing the cheers, a smile of relief appeared on Mucun’s face, saying:

"It seems...Kinnosuke and the others succeeded..."

"Yes." Mamiya also sighed, then took the two oars next to him, "Then-let's set off."

After plunged the two oars into the sea, Mamiya rowed the boat with extremely skillful techniques, and the small boat was moving quickly across the sea at a somewhat frightening speed.

"Do you know how to row a boat in Mamiya?" Ogata couldn't help but asked Mamiya.

"I used to learn the methods and techniques of canoeing in Satsuma."

"I don't know if the people of the shogunate will really keep their promise and will never get close to help their lives..." Amachi sitting next to Ogata couldn't help muttering like this.

"Who knows..." Ogata couldn't help but shrugged. "This kind of thing is beyond our control."

"I can only hope that the officials of the shogunate will really keep their promises, and hope that they will be lucky..."

Speaking of this ~www.wuxiahere.com~ Ogata couldn't help turning his head and glanced at the warship that was rapidly shrinking from his field of view.

"I feel that Kinosuke, Zonghai and the others are a bit pitiful..."

Ogata said softly.

"If you want a way out, you have to negotiate with people in a low voice."

"You have to say things like'taking us as experimental observation objects' to find a way out..."

Regarding Zonghai's remarks to persuade the shogunate to let them live, Zonghai had informed Ogata and others before the separation.

"No way." Mucun answered with a blank face, "No matter how the times develop, this kind of helpless common people will always be the hardest people."

"The helpless common people like Kinosuke and Zonghai just want to live, they have to work hard, and even have to discard self-esteem and freedom, which are so precious to others."

After listening to Makimura's words, Ogata couldn't help but look down at his callous hands.

"...I have to become stronger to what level, so that I don't have to beg for a way out like Kinosuke, Zong Hai and others in a low voice..."

The tone of Ogata's words seemed to be asking someone else, and it seemed to be asking himself.

"Become unparalleled in the world!"

Mamiya, who was sitting in Ogata's boat, said casually.

"When you will reach the world like Yuan Da Ren, who can match thousands of horses with one person's strength, you will be able to treat the shogunate as nothing."

"Unparalleled in the world..."

Ogata chewed on the word Mamiya had just uttered, and looked up at the orange sky.

His face was thoughtful.

But I just don't know what he was thinking.
