I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Text Chapter 295 Spend 10 skill points in a row (Part 1)

Time rewinds back not long ago--

"Is this the meeting point agreed upon by the sacred mountain and you?" Asai said, he looked up and down the tea house in front of him.

"This is the tea house where Master Shenshan often comes to." Makimura said, "Master Shenshan sometimes changes to work in this tea house in order to change his mood. Let's go."

Makimura led Shimada and Asai towards the tea house in strides.

Among them, only Lin was inconvenient to show her face.

If Hasegawa finds that Lin has "Yan Mo" pinned on her waist, then Lin's identity as "Buddha Enemy" will be self-defeating.

Therefore, Lin was hiding somewhere far away, and only three people from Mucun came to negotiate with the mountain.

Opening the paper sliding door of the tea house, Mucun saw Kamiyama and Hasegawa sitting at the low table opposite the door.

A younger youth stood respectfully by the side of the mountain, seeming to be the assistant of the mountain.

"Makimura, you are back." Kamiyama looked at Shimada and Asai, "Are these two your companions?"

"Master Kamiyama, I can assist you." Makimura said bluntly, "but I have a condition-when things are done, please release one of the prisoners currently held in the Kyoto prison and hand it to us for disposal.

"Prisoner?" Shenshan frowned slightly, "Which prisoner do you want me to release."

"A doctor named Xuanren. I heard that he is a doctor who understands Nanban medical skills. I need his medical skills to heal a friend of mine."

"I came back to Kyoto this time to invite him, but someone who resembled him was actually put in jail."

There is no doubt that these words made by Mucun are a lie.

After Shenshan pondered for a while, he turned his head and whispered to the assistant beside him:

"Go and check if there is such a person in the prison."

"Yes."

The assistant walked away quickly.

Before long, he quickly returned to the side of the mountain.

"Master Shenshan, there is indeed such a person. He is currently being detained in jail because he is suspected of prescribing the wrong prescription and curing the death."

"...He should be just an ordinary doctor, right?"

"It's really just an ordinary doctor," the assistant said. "Except for being well-known among the people because of its superb medical skills, there is nothing special about it."

"...I understand." Shenshan Chongmu Village nodded, "When things are done, I will release this Doctor Xuanren and give it to you."

"Grateful."

"Apart from this, don't you have any other requirements in Mucun?"

"Tell me the location of the latest victim."

"It seems that there is no other requirement... I have asked all the victims' death locations to be marked on this map with the time of death."

Shenshan pushed forward a folded map placed on a low table.

"In order to facilitate the contact between the two of us, I will stay in this tea house until I go to Nijo Gosho to attend the banquet hosted by Tokugawa Sumura tonight."

"If you need any help from me, feel free to come to this tea house to mention it to me."

"Thank you. For the time being, Lord Shenshan cannot use your help."

...

...

After leading Asai and Shimada back to Lin’s hiding place, Makimura reported to Linhui:

"Lord, the negotiation has been done."

"Very good." Lin nodded lightly, "This way, I can get Doctor Xuanren with as gentle a means as possible."

"Then-Miba, I will work hard for you next. Now that you have taken the job of assisting Shenshan in investigating this murder case, do you have any plans now?"

"Let’s go to the scene of the latest victim’s death to see if there are any clues. But before that-I want to find Brother Ogata first."

"What are you looking for him for?" Lin frowned slightly.

"I’ve heard from Lord Kamiyama just now-just now, an official has found someone who looks like Ogata Ichitosai in a ramen shop. I suspect that the person they found is not a person who looks like Ogata Ichitosai at all. , But Ogata Ichitosai himself..."

"Brother Ogata is not a native of Kyoto. He is not familiar with the place where he was born. If he is allowed to flee by himself, it will only be a matter of time before he is surrounded by officials."

"Brother Ogata is my friend. He is in trouble now. I can't just ignore him."

"...If you want to help Ogata Ichitosai first, I have no problem, but where are you going to find him?"

As soon as Lin's voice fell, a street not far away suddenly rang an unusually noisy noise:

"Hey! Someone just saw Ogata Ichitosai! He fled in that direction!"

"Okay! You guys go search that alley!"

"Yes!"

"You guys, just go there!"

"Yes!"

After listening to the noisy noise for a while, Maki Village Chaolin smiled slightly:

"It seems that I found a clue to Brother Ogata."

...

...

"...That's how it is."

Makimura, who was leading the way in the front, continued speaking to Ogata behind him.

"In terms of familiarity with Kyoto, looking around the world, there may be few people who can beat me."

"I know all the suitable places for Tibetans in each block."

"After learning that you happened to escape into a nearby neighborhood, I immediately followed the alleys in this neighborhood that were suitable for Tibetans, and then I found you."

"Brother Ogata, you should be thankful that I am no longer the power of Kyoto, and I am not responsible for hunting you down."

A faint smile appeared on Mucun's face at this time.

"If I were to be responsible for hunting you down, you are now surrounded a lot."

After quietly listening to Makimura’s explanation of the ins and outs of all events, Ogata sighed softly:

"Mucun, you actually helped the government do something..."

"It's just taking advantage of each other." Mucun shrugged, "I help them, and they give us what we want. It's just a deal. Ah, we are out of the alley."

A little candlelight came out from the front alley.

After rushing out of the alley along this alleyway, Ogata and his party came to a rather deserted trail.

After listening to it, after confirming that there was no official errand around, Ogata slowly lowered the hand that was originally on the handle of the Oshaten sword.

"Master, Asai, Shimada." At this moment, Makimura suddenly said to the three of Lin, "The three of you, let's go back and rest first."

"Do you want to act alone?" Lin frowned slightly.

"To tell you the truth-it would be more convenient for me to act on my own." Makimura smiled bitterly, "And... it may be a bit awkward to say: When investigating a case, if there are too many laymen around, it will be More in the way."

"...I see." Lin didn't refute Mucun's somewhat unpleasant remark just now, "but-let's leave someone by her side to assist you. Shimada, follow Mucun."

"Ah, yes!" Shimada said loudly.

Mucun opened his mouth, as if he wanted to reject Lin's proposal.

But after hesitating for a while, he closed his mouth slowly. Nodded and whispered softly:

"I see. It doesn't matter if only Shimada is following."

"Asai and I will be waiting at the hotel for you to come back. You two remember to be safe."

"Lord..." Mucun said suddenly, "I have an unsympathetic request."

"Say it."

"Before returning to the hotel, can you please take a detour to a place, I want you to bring a message to an acquaintance of mine in Kyoto."

"Acquaintances?" Lin asked suspiciously.

"Yeah." Makimura nodded vigorously. "He is the only acquaintance I have in Kyoto at the moment."

"...I see. I'm still a little busy at this point."

"Grateful."

After Mucun quickly reported a place name to Lin, this newly formed team immediately parted ways.

Lin took Asai to pass a message to this acquaintance in the pastoral village.

Makimura took Shimada and Ogata to Shimabara, the best hiding place in Kyoto that he just said.

"Come up." Makimura gave Shimada and Ogata a meaningful smile. "The place we are going next is the dream place of almost all Kyoto men."

"Senior Makimura." Shimada hesitated. "I wanted to ask from a moment ago-what is Shimabara?"

"Shimada, you really are a wealthy young master who doesn't care about the world." Makimura smiled helplessly and said, "Shimada, you are from Edo, then you should know Yoshihara, right?"

"Of course!" Shimada said without hesitation.

When he said this, Shimada's cheeks flushed slightly.

"Shimabara is Kyoto's Yoshihara-I say that, you should understand?"

Shimada was taken aback at first hearing these words from Mucun.

After that, his cheeks quickly turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye...

...

...

Makimura led Ogata and Shimada carefully along the street.

Once a person dressed as an official is found approaching, Makimura, who is familiar with the terrain, leads Ogata and Shimada into the nearby alley, waiting for the official to leave and then come out, or directly walk through the alley to remove the official. We go around directly.

Turned to a new street, raised his eyes and looked forward-there was no official official.

Slightly relieved, Makimura said to Ogata and Shimada behind him:

"I'm going to Shimabara soon."

There is no official official in the street ahead, but there are seven samurai with swords on their waists facing the opposite direction of the three Ogata, and facing the three Ogata.

There are samurai everywhere in Kyoto, wherever you go, you can see groups of samurai with knives around their waists.

Especially on tonight-the "Yamyan Cruise" will begin soon, and such people who are in groups, who are going to see the Yamashita together later, can be seen everywhere in Kyoto.

Therefore, neither Makimura nor Ogata took the samurai who happened to be facing them to heart, and walked along the center of the street carefreely.

It wasn't until he got closer to the seven samurai that Ogata noticed something unusual.

The seven samurai are constantly looking around, as if looking for something.

Not only Ogata found out, but even Makimura found out that the seven samurai in front of him were different.

"Ah! Found it!"

At this moment, one of the seven samurai suddenly screamed, and raised his hand towards the three of Ogata... to be precise, it was towards Ogata.

Realizing something, Ogata narrowed his eyes.

This distance is already very difficult to escape.

Ogata turned his head and winked at Makimura and Shimada.

Makimura immediately understood the meaning of Ogata's eyes: Get out, don't interfere.

Knowing that Ogata is for their two good pastoral villages, he raised his hand to grab Shimada's arm and pulled Shimada aside, pretending that he didn't know Ogata, Ogata was just walking behind them.

噌, 噌, 噌......

The seven samurai all drew the swords from their waists neatly, and then ran towards Ogata.

Ogata glanced around—the few passersby around him were scared away by the seven samurai who suddenly drew their swords, and there were no innocent passers-by around him.

After confirming that there were no innocent passers-by around, Ogata stood still and waited for the seven samurai to come over without dodge or dodge.

The seven samurai who rushed to Ogata surrounded Ogata in a semicircle.

"I ask you, you are Ogata Ichitosai, right?"

"If you are looking for the executioner Ichitosai Ogata Ishige who is wanted by the whole city-yes, it is me. Are you bounty hunters?"

"We were just ordinary ronin about half an hour ago."

The head of the 7 samurai is a bald head. The bald said in a deep voice.

"But we are now~www.wuxiahere.com~Ogata Ichitosai, you might not know it? Kyoto Prefecture is now offering a big reward for your head."

"As long as you get your first level, you can get another 100 taels based on your original bounty of 300 taels."

"Sure enough, there must be a Yongfu under the reward... 400 taels in total..." Ogata raised his hand and touched his neck. "I always feel like I've been underestimated... A mere 400 taels is not enough to win me. Head."

After putting down the hand that was touching his neck, Ogata slowly pressed his left hand to the mouth of Oshaten's sheath.

"You should also have heard of the name of my executioner Ichidozai? Are you sure you want to fight the enemy with a handful of seven?"

"The deed of the executioner Ichitozai killing more than a hundred samurai with his own power, we have naturally heard of it." The bald head replied with a deep voice, "Even if the 7 of us go together, maybe none of us is your opponent."

"But ah... Ogata Ichitosai, the few of us have had enough days to have a meal without a meal."

"Compared to being dead, we are now more afraid of not having money!"

When saying this, the bald-headed eyes flashed a bit of... a hideous color.

"Except for the sword in our hands, we have no longevity. We have no other way out other than fighting each other with fate!"

After quietly listening to the bald head's words, Ogata's eyes narrowed slightly.

He raised his eyes and glanced at the knives of these seven people.

The blades of these 7 people were all rusty-it was obvious that they hadn't been oiled for a long time for maintenance.

The appearance of these seven people with ragged clothes and dirt all over them is indeed not like someone who can have extra money to buy knife oil.
