I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Under the lead of Ah Ding, the two slowly left the crowded downtown area and came to a remote and sparsely populated residential area.

"Here." Ah Ding said, "Master Wind Demon lives here in seclusion."

Ogata looked around.

The sparsely populated scenery around him formed an extremely sharp contrast with the prosperous scenes he had seen in other parts of Kyoto just now. It was hard to imagine that these contrasting scenery appeared in the same city.

However, this kind of remote and sparsely populated place has the advantage of being clean.

It is suitable as a retreat.

"When you see Master Fengma later, remember to be polite." When Amachi led Ogata toward Fengma's residence, he turned his head and said to Ogata behind him.

"I don't need you to tell me about this kind of thing." Ogata said in a helpless tone.

"Ah, here we are."

Ah Ding stopped in front of an ordinary house.

Ogata looked up at the private house in front of him.

This private house uses one word to describe it-ordinary.

Ordinary, it exudes an ordinary atmosphere, no matter from which point of view, it is just an ordinary house.

"My lord!" Ah Ding stood on tiptoe, put his hands to his mouth, and shouted loudly, "Are you there? It's my Komachi!"

"Komachi..." Ogata whispered to repeat what Amachi had just said, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Hey..." Amachi turned his head ugly, and gave Ogata a vicious look. "Only the elders can call me that. If you dare to call me "Komachi", I will strangle you."

After giving such a warning to Ogata, Amachi turned his head and shouted again into the house:

"My lord! Are you there?"

After shouting loudly like this several times, an old male voice finally came from the house:

"I'm coming……"

With the fall of this old male voice, a burst of footsteps sounded from behind the door at an unhurried speed.

Wow...

The wooden door was pulled open.

"Oh! Komachi! You are here! I thought I had heard it wrong just now!"

"Master Wind Demon, it's been a long time."

Ah Ding stepped forward and hugged the old man in front of him.

"Oh? Komachi, who is this one?" The old man turned his gaze to Ogata, who was standing behind Amachi.

"Meeting for the first time." Ogata bowed to the old man, and said respectfully, "It is Shimo Ogata's friend."

"Oh! It's Komachi's friend!"

The old man looked at Ogata with curious eyes.

"Since you are a friend of Komachi's, then you should know who I am. When we first met, I was the 17th generation Kazema Kotaro."

When the old man, the 17th generation Meguma Kotaro, was looking at Ogata, Ogata was also looking at Fuma.

Feng Mo is about the same size as Ah Ding, and when converted into a unit of length of the modern earth, it is only about 1 meter 55.

But because of the slightly rickety waist, Feng Mo's height seems to be a little shorter than that of A Ding.

There are a lot of age spots on the exposed skin. Because of the old age, the muscles on the body appear to be in a shriveled state.

Although he has a shaved head, his beard is very lush, with a big beard, and the lush beard hangs down to his chest.

The appearance of Feng Mo was the same as the house he was writing-the whole body exudes an ordinary and ordinary aura.

Looking at the ordinary-looking old man in front of him, Ogata couldn't help but secretly said in his heart:

——Is he the last generation of Wind Demon Kotaro...

On the way Amachi brought Ogata to the residence of the wind demon, Amachi had already briefly introduced the 17th generation of the wind demon Kotaro to Ogata.

Through Amachi’s introduction, Ogata already knew that the wind demon nosato had been disbanded 10 years ago under the order of the 17 generations of wind demon Kotaro.

Knowing that these 17 generations of Wind Demon Kotaro have determined not to rebuild the Wind Demon Sato, and no longer teach their ninjutsu passed down from generation to generation to others, and determined to be the last Wind Demon Kotaro in history.

I also know that the last wind demon Kotaro in this history is a master of outstanding skill. He once set a feat 10 years ago that "the 62-year-old broke into Shiranui alone, turned Shiranui upside down and retreated all over his body".

"Um... you are Ogata Ichitosai." After looking at Ogata several times, Fengma suddenly murmured like this, "It looks really strong. Komachi, you really made a great friend. "

Ogata was not surprised at all when Fengma heard his name and immediately realized that he was the executioner Ichitosai.

After all, he has long been famous.

"...It's a pity." Feng Mo suddenly said.

"Regret?" Ogata tilted his head, wondering.

"It's really a shame that you are just a friend of Komachi..." Fengma curled his lips. "When I saw a man behind Komachi just now, I thought you were Komachi's foreign son."

"I was still happy to find a handsome husband for Komachi, but in the end it turned out to be just a friend of Komachi..."

"Master Wind Demon!" Ah Ding's face flushed slightly and said anxiously, "What are you talking about..."

Ogata didn't know how to respond to what Fengma said just now, and could only show a helpless smile on his face.

Fengma stroked the beard on his chin and glanced at Ogata again.

Fengma's look at Ogata this time was a bit more meaningful.

"Well... it really looks like the more you look..."

"Huh?" Ogata raised his eyebrows out of doubt. "Like?"

"You look like an old friend of mine..." A faint reminiscence appeared on Feng Mo's face.

"Well, the door is not a good place to chat, just come in."

Feng Mo walked toward the house with his hands behind his back.

Following the wind demon through the door, Ogata and Amachi took off their shoes in the soil of the house, and then set foot on the wind demon's house.

As soon as Ah Ding's little feet without socks stepped on the wooden floor, her expression became stiff.

Noting the strange Ogata expression on Ah Ding's face, he turned his head and asked in a soft voice:

"A Ting, what's the matter?"

Amachi did not respond to Ogata's question.

With a wry smile, he lifted his right foot and let Ogata look at the sole of her right foot.

A Ding's soles of her feet, which were originally white and red, were now covered with a layer of black dust.

Just stepping on her foot in Feng Mo's house, Ah Ding's originally clean soles turned black.

And the floor where Ah Ding was standing originally had a small footprint because the dust on the floor was stepped off.

Looking at Amachi's soles covered with a thick layer of dust, Ogata was taken aback, then lowered his head and looked at his feet.

After moving his right foot away, the place where Ogata had stepped on his right foot just now also had an extra footprint that was reflected by the dust being stepped on.

Because Ogata wears socks, Ogata does not immediately feel the ground is very dirty like Amachi.

"Sorry... you got your feet dirty." The wind demon who walked in front turned apologetically and said to the two of Ogata, "I forgot to tell you... my home... Slightly dirty..."

"Master Wind Demon..." A Ding's face was a little bit astonished, "When I came to see you last time, your house was not so dirty yet..."

"In recent times, my bones have become weaker and weaker, and my energy has become worse and worse."

Feng Mo smiled bitterly.

"Because my bones and energy have deteriorated a lot, I have become more and more...lazy in cleaning, so I haven't cleaned the house for a long time..."

...

...

at the same time--

At the corner of an ordinary street in Kyoto, four Okayuki chatted boredly.

From the beauties who happened upon me when I was walking on the street yesterday, I have been talking to the restaurant where I recently found a very delicious meal by mistake.

In the Edo period, excluding the special public security organizations such as the Huofu Rogue Reform, the city’s security forces were roughly divided into three levels: Yoli, Tongxin, and Okayuki.

Using the police system of the modern earth as an analogy, the power is similar to the chief of the police station, the concentric is similar to the ordinary police, and the Gangin is similar to the co-police.

Gang Yinhe is special compared with force and concentricity.

Both Yuri and Tongxin are directly affiliated to the shrine, and are directly under the command of the superiors headed by the shrine.

Gangyin is generally recruited from the people by Yuli or Tongxin, not officially affiliated to the government, and only obeys the recruiting Yuli or Tongxin himself.

In the words of the modern earth, Yuli and Tongxin are all members of the system, but Okayin is not.

Because there was nothing to do at the moment, the four Okayin were able to sit in the corner of the street and chat idly.

However-at this moment, a sharp-eyed Okayuki noticed that the concentric who had recruited them as Okayuki was walking towards them with a few sheets of paper.

Seeing Tongxin walking towards them, these Gang Yin immediately realized that there might be work to be done.

So they put away their playful minds and stood up straight.

"Master Tongxin! Good afternoon!"

"Master Tongxin! You still look very energetic today!"

...

To the greetings of these subordinates, Tongxin nodded slightly, and then stuffed a few pieces of paper into their arms.

"I have work to do, post this wanted order to several places in our jurisdiction where the flow of people will be high."

"It is not necessary to post all of these wanted orders. Leave one to tell the people from door to door to be wary of the culprits on this wanted order."

"Master Tongxin... is this wanted?"

"You should all know, right? We have a personal behead in Kyoto. From last night to now, more than 30 people have lost their lives."

"Now it has been found out who this person is. It is the culprit on this wanted order-the executioner Ichidosesai, Ogata Yishi."

"Kyoto Sachi-sama has already issued an order-the whole city is searched. Even if you turn Kyoto over, you must find Ogata Ishige out."

"Isn't it just to catch a murderer..." An Okazin muttered, "Does it take such a big battle..."

"You don't understand, right?" A meaningful smile appeared on Tongxin's face. "Do you know why Mr. Shidai Kyoto wanted to capture Ogata Insei in such a big battle?"

The four Okayuki shook their heads one after another.

"Because—today is the day that Lord Tokugawa Sumura, lord of the Owari feudal clan of the'Gosanjia', held a banquet at the Nijo Gosho."

"Sama Tokugawa loves our Gion Festival in Kyoto the most."

"Whenever the annual Gion Festival is held, as soon as there is time, Master Tokugawa Sumura will definitely come to our Kyoto to watch the Gion Festival."

"This year is no exception."

"Master Tokugawa Sumura, who came to watch the Gion Festival this year, has arrived in Kyoto in his car three days ago."

"Not only that ---sama Tokugawa Sumura this year also obtained a special permission from Shogun to use the Ninomaru Garden of the Nijo Gosho."

Concentrically lifted his finger and pointed to the ground.

"Tonight, Master Tokugawa Sumura will host a grand banquet in the Ninomaru Garden to entertain all the dignitaries in and around Kyoto."

"Master Toda Tadahiro from the Kyoto Institute, Master Souai Ota at the temple, Masason from Osaka Castle, Master Kamiyama Koshinosuke from Kyoto Town... These big figures will participate in the banquet held at the Nijo Gosho tonight."

"In order to please Mr. Tokugawa Summu, our Kyoto master Shidai Toda Tadahiro has been bragging to Mr. Tokugawa Summu about how good the law and order in Kyoto is, and if any criminals come out~www.wuxiahere.com~ It can be quickly arrested and brought to justice."

"Think about it-if you can catch this murderer who has killed more than 30 people before the end of today's banquet."

"Then Mr. Shidai of Kyoto will be able to brag to Master Tokugawa Sumura and other high-ranking officials at the banquet about how good the public order in Kyoto is under his seat. The murderer who appeared last night was successfully arrested and brought to justice tonight. Up."

Hearing this, the four Okazuki's faces became clear.

And Tongxin went on to say:

"The reason why Lord Soji from Kyoto ordered the capture of Ogata Ichizasai so much, in addition to being able to brag in front of Lord Tokugawa Sumura, there is a more important reason, which is to ensure that the Gion Festival is not held in any way. influences."

"If the killing of countless people is allowed to continue at large, it will make the people of Kyoto panic and indirectly affect the holding of the Gion Festival."

"If the holding of the Gion Festival is affected, it will destroy the Masaru Tokugawa Summu who came to watch the Gion Festival.

"If the Yaxing of Tokugawa Sumura is affected, then the officials in Kyoto, headed by Mr. Shodai Kyoto, will definitely be indispensable."

"So whether it is for the interest of Master Tokugawa Sumura to remain unaffected, or for himself to have the opportunity to brag in front of Master Tokugawa Sumura, Mr. Shidai Kyoto must arrest this murderer who has killed countless people as soon as possible."

"If you understand why Mr. Shidai at the Kyoto Institute ordered the arrest of Ogata Ichitosai with such a big fanfare, then you will all act! Post all these wanted orders quickly! Leave one to inform our jurisdiction on a house-by-house basis. The common people of China pay attention to the executioner's one sword fast!"
