I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Kyoto, Nijo Castle (Nijo Gosho).

Nijo Castle is composed of two major buildings-Honmaru Palace and Ninomaru Palace.

Tangmen-the main entrance of the Ninomaru Palace.

Go through the Tootome Gate, enter Nijo Castle, and then enter Tangmen to enter the Ninomaru Palace.

After passing through Tangmen and entering the Ninomaru Palace, turn left to enter the Ninomaru Garden.

The Ninomaru Garden adopts a cloister style. The most prominent feature of the Ninomaru Garden is the huge pond at a glance.

There are three islands, one large and two small.

The larger island is called "Penglai Island", and the other two smaller islands are called "Turtle Island" and "Crane Island".

Tonight’s banquet was held on a certain piece of grass on Penglai Island.

The reason why it was held on the grass was also proposed by the Owari feudal clan—that is, Tokugawa Somu, who decided to hold the banquet.

In order to experience this kind of picnic feeling.

Opening a banquet in a luxurious hall-Tokugawa Zongmu has long been tired of this set.

Just now, this grand banquet began.

The absolute master of this banquet—the undoubted master of Tokugawa Sumura.

Participants at the banquet were seated below the left and right sides of Tokugawa Zongmu in order according to their status.

Toda Tadahiro, Shoji from Kyoto, sits first on the right hand side of Tokugawa Sumura.

Then, descending from the Osaka Castle, Masasunori Horita, and the temple shrine practiced Ota Ziai...

After taking a sip of the drink, Tokugawa Sumura, who was blushing, said softly to Toda who was sitting underneath:

"Qing Toda, today I sent someone to some burned areas in Kyoto to take a look."

"You did a good job. Although the burnt-out areas have not had time to rebuild due to insufficient funds, there are no more people to live in."

Seeing Tokugawa Zongmu praised himself loudly, Toda quickly sat upright, with a brilliant smile on his face extremely skillfully.

"My lord, you are too acclaimed, the lower officials just did what they should do."

Toda Tadahiro is nearly 50 years old.

Short and fat-these two words should be the first impression most people have after seeing Toda Tadhiro. The fat belly, which seemed to be stuffed with a large bed of quilts, was extremely conspicuous.

As he leaned down and uttered various modesty words at Tokugawa Sumura, Toda's fat face showed a triumphant sneer.

However, because Toda Tadahiro was putting his forehead on the ground at this time, no one could find the smug smile on Toda's face at this time.

The officials sent by Tokugawa Zongmu to check the status of the burned area had long been bought by Toda.

The burnt areas that Toda took the bribed officials to see were burned areas that were specially "cleaned up" by Toda.

Toda had heard the news before-Tokugawa Summu came to Kyoto to watch this year's Gion Festival, and at the same time sent people to see how the reconstruction of Kyoto was going.

Toda, who had received this news in advance, rushed to send people to drive away the residents of the burnt-out areas near Nijo Castle before Summu Tokugawa arrived in Kyoto.

This is the truth that "the victims of the Tianming Fire have all been arranged."

Tokugawa Sumura is still praising Toda Tadahiro for his ability.

Listening to these praises of Tokugawa Zongmu, the triumphant color on Toda's face became more and more intense...

...

...

Kotaro standing not far away watched the banquet scene with cold eyes.

There are 28 ninjas in charge of guarding Nijo Castle.

Kotaro is one of these 28 people, and he is also the person in charge of this mission.

At this moment, Kotaro was standing in a dark place not far from the banquet scene, silently looking at the banquet.

"As expected of the strongest daimyo-a banquet hosted by the lord of the Owari feudal clan..."

Kotaro sighed in a low voice with a volume that only he could hear.

Kotaro could not recognize what quality clothes these people wore at this banquet.

But he recognized what quality food they were eating.

The food eaten by these people at the banquet hall is genuine delicacies from the mountains and the sea.

These foods are not to be said to be his Kotaro, even if they are the leader of Shiranui, the flame demon, they may not be able to eat them after an exhausted life...

After softly feeling the extravagance of the upper class, Kotaro stretched hard.

"What a boring task..."

"Kotaro, you are right, the task of'defending Nijo Castle until the banquet of these people is over' is really boring."

"Hirataro, you are here."

A figure slowly emerged from the dark place behind Kotaro, and gradually outlined a specific shape.

Heitaro-one of the Shinobu guards who followed Kotaro to guard Nijo Castle.

Standing behind Kotaro's side, Heitaro continued:

"What kind of guard is Nijo Gosho... and it's impossible for anyone to attack Nijo Gosho without knowing what it is..."

"Although it's impossible for anyone to attack Nijo Gosho." Kotaro smiled, "but the superficial skills of the shogunate still need to be done."

"Kotaro." Heitaro suddenly changed a more serious tone. "The four Ryutaro who were in charge of looking for Amachi have not returned until now."

Kotaro's eyebrows frowned slowly when Heartaro's words were heard.

A total of 32 ninjas came to Kyoto this time.

Twenty-eight of them are responsible for guarding Kyoto, and the other four are responsible for tracking down the defected Amachi while the rest are guarding Nijo Castle.

Kotaro gave the task of tracking Amachi to the four Ryutaro.

Kotaro has made an agreement with the 4 Rutaro who is in charge of tracking Amachi: he must report to them regularly.

And now the agreed time has passed, but until now I haven't seen Ruutaro and the others returning to report...

This made Kotaro unable to help but plan for the worst in his heart...

"...Hirataro, you secretly brought 3 Nakanin to find Rutaro and the others."

Hearing Kotaro's words, Heitaro's face was shocked.

"Kotaro, we have to keep at least 28 people to guard Nijo Castle." Heitaro said solemnly.

The agreement they made with Shiranuiri and the shogunate was to send at least 28 powerful ninjas to guard Nijo Castle until the end of their banquet by Tokugawa Zongmu.

Tokugawa Somu and their banquet are still going on. If they find that the number of ninjas guarding Nijo Castle has decreased, and the number of ninjas has not reached the agreed number, it will be troublesome.

"Don't worry." Kotaro shrugged, "These people are busy eating, drinking and having fun, it doesn't matter whether our number is low or not."

"They won't find it without 4 people."

"Anyway, Nijo Castle is very safe. There is no possibility that anyone would dare to attack Nijo Castle. So it doesn't matter if there are 4 more guards or 4 fewer guards."

"Hurry up. Whether you find Ryutarou or not, they will come back an hour later."

"...Yes!" After hesitating for a while, Heitaro responded with a loud "Yes".

...

...

Inside an uninhabited private house in Three Prince Street, Kyoto.

After capturing the bald head, and checking the three-story building, and confirming that no other enemies were still hiding in the building, Ogata and his party left the building and took the bald head to the building. Inside an uninhabited house some distance from this three-story building.

When moving to this uninhabited private house, Ogata and Makimura exchanged information with each other.

Makimura and Hasegawa were also able to learn about the kidnapping and rescue of the wife and daughter of the owner of the Metaphysics Museum, as well as the existence of Ryunosuke and Tsurugen.

This uninhabited house seemed to be a tea house before, with 2 floors.

At this moment, Ogata and his party are all on the second floor of this tea house.

"Yes, just tied him up like this." Makimura said to Hasegawa.

"Makura." Hasegawa obeyed Mucun's instructions and tied his bald hands tighter, and asked to Mucun like this, "Why tie him like this?"

The bald head was now tied to a paper sliding door that had been removed.

The bald head, whose hands and feet are all tied to this paper sliding door, is not lying flat on the ground.

The bald feet were tied to the south side of the paper sliding door, and his hands and head were tied to the north side of the paper sliding door.

There are a lot of things under the south side of the paper sliding door, which makes the bald head present a strange posture where the feet are padded high, the feet are above the head, and the nostrils are slightly upturned.

Makimura, Ogata, and Hasegawa joined forces to tie their bald heads into this weird posture.

"Why tie him like this?" An intriguing smile appeared on Mu Cun's face. "You'll know later."

"Senior Makura." Shimada walked towards Makura with a big pot of water, "I brought the water you wanted!"

"Well, it's hard work."

Makimura, Ogata, and Hasegawa tied their heads.

Shimada followed the orders of Makimura to find water.

As for Ah Ding, he held Poggie idly and played with Poggie.

After receiving the big irrigation from Shimada, Makimura whispered towards Ogata and Hasegawa beside him:

"Well, you two step back a little bit."

Although they didn't know what Makimura was planning to do, Ogata and Hasegawa obediently stepped back a few steps according to what Makimura said, and gave way.

Mucun took the big pot of water in his hand and walked slowly to the side of his bald head.

"You, what are you doing?" The bald head looked at the pastoral village in horror.

"I have a lot to ask you." Mucun said to the bald head in an indifferent tone without any emotions. "But I know-you will not obediently tell everything you know."

"So—I'm going to make you suffer first."

"This is a method of torture that I stumbled upon when I was still in Kyoto."

"This is the most powerful method of torture I have ever talked about."

"The method of use is very simple, just a little water is enough."

"The power is extremely powerful. Until now, I haven't found anyone who has the ability to survive this torture."

"There is no one."

After emphatically saying, "There is no one," Makimura tied the rag that Ah Ding had just used to block the bald head on his bald face.

The bald face can only be pointed directly at the ceiling because the head is hooped and cannot be turned at will.

After tying the cloth to the bald face, Mucun tilted the pot of water in his hand and poured the water in the jar toward the bald face that was covered by the cloth.

The water in the jar formed a column of water that was neither slow nor urgent and poured onto the bald face.

It is not difficult to see from Mucun’s skillful pouring technique—it must not be the first time that he has used this technique against people.

When the water first poured on the bald head's face, it was difficult for the bald head to remain calm.

But in just a few breaths, the bald head began to struggle.

After a few more breaths, the struggle of the bald head suddenly increased several times!

The strength of that struggle caused everyone present to think that the hemp rope might not be able to tie him.

"Shimada!"

"Ah, here!"

"Come here to help me, hold him down, and tell him not to move!"

"Yes!"

Shimada obeyed Mucun's instructions and ran quickly to the side of the bald head, pressed the shoulders of the bald head, and suppressed his struggling body.

However-from the expression on Shimada's face and the blue veins bursting on Shimada's arms, Shimada's suppression of the bald head is not easy.

Ogata and Shimada met once, so they have a general idea of ​​Shimada's power and speed.

In terms of strength, Shimada is regarded as one of the best, and he can see that he is the kind of person who usually never neglects to exercise.

Shimada, who was not weak in strength, was still struggling to suppress the bald head. One can imagine how fierce the bald head struggled.

Looking at Makimura, who was expressionless and indifferently pouring water on his bald face, Ogata secretly said in his heart:

——It is very similar to the American waterboarding on the modern earth...

Upon discovering that Mucun's so-called torture method was pouring water on his bald face, Xu Jian suddenly thought that Mucun's torture method was very similar to the modern American waterboarding method.

Before this Edo period, Ogata once learned about the existence of water torture by chance.

As far as Ogata knows, water torture is quite cruel torture.

This torture can make the prisoner feel as though he is about to suffocate and drown.

The reason why water torture is cruel is that under the control of the nerve center, the victim who can't breathe in the process opened his mouth and swallowed hard. A large amount of water was sucked into the stomach, lungs and trachea, causing the victim to vomit and cough in the water. The lungs and trachea secrete a large amount of thick nasal discharge, incontinence of urine and feces, suffering from indescribable pain, and constantly dying.

Because of the cruelty of waterboarding, few people can withstand this cruel waterboarding.

While pouring water on the bald face, Mucun was also observing the state of the bald head.

When he noticed that the bald head seemed about to fail, Mucun immediately stopped watering, and then leaned over to remove the cloth tied to the bald head.

"Puff! Puff! Puff up! Ha..................Ha..........................................！............！............！..................Ha..................Ha............Ha................................................!......!...... Vomit! Vomit!"

As soon as Mucun removed the cloth, his bald head immediately coughed and gagged, vomiting a lot of water.

My nose and saliva are all over my face.

After quietly waiting for the bald head to slow down a bit, Mucun silently re-tied the rag on the bald face.

"Wait, wait! Wait a minute..."

The bald head seemed to want to say something, but Mu Cun paid no attention to him, and silently tied the rag on the bald face again.

Because of the rags on his face, the bald head couldn't say a word, and could only whimper of inexplicable meaning.

After tying the rag to the bald head again, Mucun used waterboarding on the bald head again ~ www.wuxiahere.com ~ Mucun used waterboarding on the bald head three times back and forth.

After the third waterboarding was over and Mucun once again took off the cloth tied to his bald face, his bald head immediately vomited and said to Mucun in a pleading tone while vomiting:

"I said! Haha! Ha... Ha... Ha... Ha... Nah! Nah! Nah! What about me... Nah! Nah! Nah! I... I say everything! Ha... Ha... Cough! Cough cough cough! I say everything! I say everything you ask me! Please let me go!"

"That's good." Mucun threw aside the jar with little water left in his hand. "This is what you said. I will ask you something later, and you will answer it. If you dare to hide it without reporting it, I will let you do it again. Drink more water. Anyway, there is a well next to it. There is so much water."
