I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

"I was a swordsman in ancient Japan(

——Yoshihara concentric?

After hearing this strange term from the guests at the next table, Ogata turned his head and looked towards the entrance of the sushi restaurant.

The person who opened the door just now and entered the sushi restaurant is an extremely petite girl.

According to Ogata's visual observation, the woman's height, converted into modern earth units, was only about 1.43 meters—a little shorter than Lin.

Fairly beautiful face, with a breath of heroism.

Very young, probably less than 20 years old.

She is obviously a girl, but she is wearing men's clothes.

Kimono, hakama, haori, foot bag, and straw sandals are all neatly dressed.

For some reason, the dark blue Haori on the girl's upper body was worn the other way round.

It is worth mentioning that the girl has a wooden knife in her waist.

The wooden knife on her waist is shorter than the ordinary wooden knife-this length is suitable for a person of her height.

The girl dressed in men's clothes with a wooden knife in her waist just entered the sushi restaurant and immediately attracted the attention of all the people in the sushi restaurant.

The girl turned a blind eye to the curious gaze projected from her surroundings.

Because of her short stature, the girl struggled on tiptoes, craned her neck, moved her eyes around the sushi restaurant, as if she was looking for something.

In the end—the girl's gaze was fixed on the four people who were sitting not far away from Ogata, who had a very loud voice.

After her eyes were fixed on the four people, the girl laid her tiptoe feet flat and walked slowly towards the four people with the wooden knife on her waist.

The four looked at the girl walking towards them with a look of confusion.

"Finally found you."

When she came to the front and back of the four people, the girl said in an icy tone without any emotion.

"This is the melon show at the Shiro Yoshihara Bingbei Club."

The girl took the initiative to report out of the house.

After hearing the word "Yoshihara" from the girl's mouth, the expressions on the faces of the four people changed.

After self-reporting her home, the girl-that is, Gua Shengxiu then said in a calm tone:

"The four of you went to the Plum Garden House in Yoshihara to have fun the night before."

"After having fun, claiming to go home to get money."

"Meiyuanwu sent someone to follow the four of you home to get the money."

"And the four of you brave enough, halfway home, knocked out the people Meiyuanwu sent to follow you to get the money, and then fled."

"The four of you are really easy for me to find."

"Repay the money."

"The expenses for the four of you at Plum Garden House the night before, plus the medical expenses of the guy who injured the Plum Garden House, total 15 taels."

"If you pay me obediently, I'll let you go."

Gua Sheng's remarks didn't seem to bring any shock to these four people.

After Guasheng's words fell, these four people either sneered or showed disdain.

"We have no money! Go away, go away!" One of the four people waved his hand at Gusheng, acting like he was driving away some pests.

"...You four, give me a little shame."

Gusheng's face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Do you know what your non-repayment behavior means?"

"The money you owe will be credited to the girls who are named by you."

"In other words, the 15 taels you owe will be credited to the 4 girls named by you that night."

"In order to repay the money, their working time in Yoshihara will have to be extended again."

"Are you really embarrassed to do such a despicable behavior?"

"If you don't have the money to pay it back, you can only ask me to go to our Shirobei club in Yoshihara."

"We have enough work so that you can slowly repay the debt..."

Before Guasheng's words were finished, the young man among the four who was closest to Guasheng yelled:

"It's so noisy! We don't have money! We won't go to Shiro Bingbei Club with you!"

"What about those wandering girls? What matters to us!"

"Isn't it a good thing to extend the working hours of those wanderers in Yoshiwara?"

"Anyway, the wanderers don't have any other skills besides serving men?"

"Isn't it great to continue to work in Yoshiwara? I can continue to rely on my only skill to continue to eat!"

"Get out of here!"

"Just looking at your outfit makes me annoyed!"

"It's just a woman, what kind of man's clothes are you wearing! You have a wooden sword on your waist, why? Do you want to imitate a samurai?"

As soon as the young man's voice came to an end, he immediately attracted the support of his other three companions.

When Gua Sheng heard these words, his face turned black further, as black as a piece of charcoal.

Cold light burst into his eyes.

There is also Ogata who has the same complexion instantly turned ugly.

When the young man said just now, "Anyway, the wanderers don't have anything other than to serve men, right?" Ogata's face also darkened.

"...What a group of powerless and shameless people." Ogata said softly in a voice that only he could hear.

"...In that case." Gua Sheng put his right hand on the wooden knife on his left waist, "Then I can only use some tough methods to'please' you come with me."

"Huh?" The young man who ridiculed Guasheng and Yoshinori Yoshihara sneered just now, "What? Are you trying to fight us 4 at the same time? Did you see the knife on our waist? You thought you were 4 The opponent of the famous samurai...well!"

call--!

The young man's words hadn't been finished yet, the wooden knife shook the wind!

With a thunderous speed, Gua Sheng reached out to the wooden knife on his left waist, pulled the wooden knife from the hakama's belt, and made a pick from bottom to top.

The tip of the wooden knife accurately hit the young man's nose, making a crisp bone cracking sound, breaking the young man's nose with a single knife.

Looking at the smooth, fierce, unproblematic drawing of Gua Sheng just now, he couldn't help but raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Follow me outside." Guasheng said while screaming outside the sushi restaurant, "Don't break things in this restaurant."

After all, Gua Sheng took the lead in carrying her wooden knife and walked out of the sushi restaurant.

Gua Sheng's act of breaking their companion's nose with a knife just now successfully angered the four of them.

Going outside the spacious sushi restaurant was just what the four wanted.

After Guasheng walked out of the sushi restaurant, the four people immediately carried their knives and rushed out of the sushi restaurant immediately after Guasheng.

No matter which country you are in, no matter what era you are in, there will never be a shortage of people who watch the excitement.

After Guasheng and the four left the sushi restaurant, many customers who were eating sushi in the sushi restaurant dropped the sushi and chopsticks in their hands and rushed to the sushi restaurant to watch the excitement.

And these people who watch the excitement also include Ogata and Amachi.

When the two walked outside the sushi restaurant, they saw that the pedestrians on the street outside the sushi restaurant had voluntarily stepped aside to make a large enough space.

Gua Sheng and the 4 scumbags who didn't pay the debts stood right in the center of this spacious space.

The four people have put their sabers out, stood in four different directions, and surrounded the melons.

"Hey." Amachi pulled Ogata's sleeve, "Are you going to help?"

"Not urgent."

Ogata continued, leaning over and picking up a stone roughly the size of a baby's fist at his feet.

"You should have also seen the knife that the girl broke her nose just now? Maybe the girl doesn't need our help."

As soon as Ogata's words fell, the young man standing behind Gusheng shook his head while waving a knife at Gusheng.

The four of them also kept a little sensible, knowing that if they used a real knife to hack a person to death in the streets of Edo, it would definitely not be delicious, so all four of them turned the knife in their hands and used the back of the knife to deal with melons.

Gua Sheng's back seemed to have eyes long, and he didn't turn his head back to look at the enemy attacking her behind him.

Just like that, he took a step to his side without looking back, accurately avoiding the enemy's sword behind him.

Then using the left foot as the axis, the foot drives the waist, and the belt moves the hand, turning like a top, turning to the back of the body, while swinging a knife to the abdomen of the enemy behind him.

"Cough cough cough!"

After eating a straight thorn in the abdomen firmly, the person coughed vigorously while falling softly to the ground.

After neatly eliminating one of these four people, Gu Sheng slid his feet, the ground shook, and attacked the next enemy with agile footsteps.

Standing not far away, Ah Ding, who was watching the one-to-four battle, let out a small exclamation:

"Bravo……"

"This girl is very smart," Ogata said in a calm tone. "She uses a sword technique that is very suitable for women."

"Compared with men, women's biggest shortcomings are lack of physical fitness and strength."

"And the swordsmanship used by this girl can be considered to make up for this deficiency to a certain extent."

"The moves she uses are basically stabs."

"Stabbing this kind of skill, even if it doesn't have sufficient power, can give people a great deal of damage."

"Moreover, the stabbing technique is more convenient to use the power of the waist and feet than the chopping."

"After using the strength of the waist and feet, even a woman's stabbing skills are extremely powerful."

After listening to Ogata's words, Amachi moved his eyes back to the 1-on-4 battlefield ahead.

It was found that as Ogata just said, the girl named Guasheng really prefers to use stabbing skills.

In a blink of an eye, Gua Sheng had already knocked down 3 of the 4 people, and these 3 people were stabbed by Gua Sheng without exception, lying on the ground groaning and rolling in pain.

Gua Sheng clenched the wooden knife in his hand, placed in a standard mid-section posture, and slowly approached the last enemy.

All three of his companions were brought down one by one-the rest of this person should have never expected such a sight to appear.

He tightened and loosened the knife in his hand, loosened and tightened, and looked very anxious.

"Give you one last chance." Guasheng said at this time, "Take the knife back to me, and then follow me obediently to our Shirobei club in Yoshiwara."

"Who... is going..." This sentence did not come from the last remaining person who was still intact, but came from behind Gua Sheng.

Gua Sheng raised his beautiful eyebrows in surprise, and then turned his head to look behind him.

The person who said that sentence was a person who had just been brought down by Guasheng Yijian.

At this moment, this guy was holding his stomach that had just been stabbed with one hand and supporting the ground with one hand, struggling to get up from the ground.

Looking at the person who got up again, Gua Sheng frowned slightly: "You are really resistant to beating."

"Because your sword doesn't hurt or itchy at all." Although this guy said so, his pale face made his words not convincing at all.

With the severe pain in his belly, he stood up from the ground, this guy shouted, and once again raised the knife to slash at the melon.

For this guy who got up and slashed at him again with a knife, Guasheng was neither shocked nor afraid.

Turning around, pointed the tip of the knife at the guy who was about to rush to him.

After checking the knife path of this person and avoiding the knife that this person wielded, Gua Sheng once again pierced the person's belly with a sword.

Another sword was struck in the belly, and painful groans came from this person's mouth again.

But he did not fall to the ground.

Rather, gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain, and tried to stand.

This guy who was a bit cruel flashed in his eyes, and before Guasheng took the knife back, he hugged Guasheng's wooden knife.

"Quick!" At the next moment when he hugged Gusheng's wooden knife, this guy shouted loudly to his only companion who could still stand well, "Kill this guy!"

This person's words awakened his companion.

Realizing that now is the perfect opportunity for counterattack, his companion rushed towards Gusheng.

Unexpectedly, the guy in front of him actually used this trick, and a flash of surprise flashed on Gua Sheng's face.

But this shocking color only lasted for a moment on Gua Sheng's face.

After a cold snort, he made a mistake with his feet, released the left hand that originally held the hilt, pinched the shoulder of the guy in front of him, and then used skilled Jiu-Jitsu skills to throw the guy heavily to the ground.

After eating two straight thorns in the belly, this person can only manage to stay awake.

After being thrown to the ground by Guasheng using Jiu-Jitsu, this guy couldn't hold on anymore. Although he didn't faint, he didn't have the strength to hold Guasheng's knife anymore.

Although he finally regained the freedom of the wooden knife in his hand, it was already a bit late.

Among the four people, the one who is still intact until now, has rushed to the front of Gua Sheng, and has raised the knife in his hand high.

However, Gu Sheng, who had just taken the wooden knife back, failed to adjust his posture and posture.

From the surrounding crowds, surprise and exclamation have sounded.

Even Gua Sheng himself flashed a solemn light in his eyes.

But at this moment--

Whoosh!

A stone flew out suddenly from a corner of the crowd.

This stone that suddenly flew out of the crowd accurately hit the chest of the last enemy in front of Gua Sheng.

Although the stone failed to knock this guy down, it also made this guy feel painful and couldn't help but stop.

And his sudden halt in his footsteps dissipated the chance of victory that had finally appeared in his hands.

Gua Sheng saw this opportunity, quickly adjusted her posture, and once again used her best straight stab to knock down the last enemy in front of her.

After knocking down all four of them, Gua Sheng gave a relieved expression and let out a sigh of relief.

"Miss Gusheng! Miss Gusheng!"

As soon as Gua Sheng knocked down these four people, shouts were immediately heard from the onlookers gathered on the periphery of the battlefield.

Five burly men of various ages squeezed a way out of the onlookers and rushed to Gua Sheng's side.

The upper bodies of these five people are covered with the dark blue Haori of the same style as Guasheng.

Moreover, the dark blue Haori on these five people was also worn backwards like the Haori on Guasheng.

"Keiemon, have you made any mistakes?" Guasheng said to the head of the five people in a dull tone, "Why do you always arrive on time after I knocked down these bastards? Are you on purpose?"

"Who calls Ms. Guasheng, your feet travel so fast." The person who was called by Guasheng as Keiemon was a middle-aged man who was not too young. "It can only be said to be a coincidence. Every time I finally catch up with you. At the time, you had already defeated the enemy."

"Forget it, bring these 4 **** back to the club." Gua Sheng snarled at the four people lying on the ground around him. "We have to let these 4 **** work hard and pay the debt to Meiyuan House."

"Okay!" After Keiemon shouted "Okay" in his loud voice, he greeted the companion he had brought to tie up the four **** who had been knocked down by melon.

When Keiemon and others **** the four bastards, Guasheng put the wooden knife in his hand back to his waist while walking towards a corner of the crowd of onlookers.

To be precise, they walked towards Ogata and Amachi who were standing in the corner of the crowd.

"Thank you for your help just now."

Before and after arriving at Ogata, Guasheng bowed deeply to Ogata in front of her.

"I just saw it very clearly-you lost the stone just now. I really appreciate your support just now."

"Nothing." Ogata smiled and shrugged. "It's just a trivial matter."

Just like what Guasheng said just now-Ogata lost the stone that flew out of the crowd just now.

Before Gua Sheng started fighting with the four bastards, Xu Jian secretly pinched a stone in his hand, ready to support Gua Sheng at any time.

After seeing that Gua Sheng had a little trouble just now, Xu Jian immediately threw the stone he had been hiding in his hands and hit the person's chest, buying time for Gua Sheng to adjust his posture.

Although Ogata felt that even without his help just now, Guasheng should still be able to settle the one-to-four battle smoothly-at most, he suffered a little more injury afterwards.

"Miss Guasheng!" the middle-aged man named Keiemon yelled to Guasheng, "These four **** are all tied up!"

"Yeah." Guasheng nodded, "Then let's go. Take these four **** back to Yoshihara."

Before leaving, Guasheng bowed deeply to Ogata again.

After bowing to Ogata again, Guasheng led the 5 companions wearing the dark blue Haori of the same style as her, holding the 4 **** who were still groaning with pain. Go away from Ogata's field of vision.

After the girl named Guasheng left, the crowds of onlookers who were watching the excitement also dispersed.

Ogata and Amachi returned to the sushi restaurant.

After re-settling the table where the two were sitting, Amachi turned his head and asked Ogata:

"Just now the girl said she was from Shirobei Club, what is Shirobei Club?"

"I don't know." Ogata shook his head. "But listening to what the girl said, the Shirobei clubhouse seems to be related to Yoshihara."

Knowledge related to Edo—especially knowledge related to Yoshihara, hit the blind spot of Ogata’s knowledge.

As soon as Ogata's voice fell, the table next door thought of the "hehe" chuckle.

"Neither of them are natives of Edo?"

Ogata and Amachi turned their heads in both directions.

The speaker was a middle-aged woman sitting at the table next to Ogata and them.

Ogata remembered this middle-aged woman-after Naguasou entered the sushi restaurant just now, this middle-aged woman sitting next to Ogata first shouted the word "Yoshiwara Harmony", and then took Ogata's attention. Guided to the entrance of the sushi restaurant.

The clothes on this middle-aged woman are not cheap at first glance, and there is an elegant atmosphere in her manners and conversations, and she knows that her family is definitely good at a glance.

"Yeah." Ogata nodded. "The two of us are indeed not natives of Edo."

"Shirobei Club...you two can be understood as Yoshihara's place of worship." The middle-aged woman said to Ogata and Amachi. "Yoshihara is surrounded on all sides by tall wooden walls, like a fortress. , There is only one entrance and exit."

"After entering Yoshihara through the only entrance and exit of Yoshihara, you will see the'Shirobei Clubhouse' on your right."

"As I said just now, you can understand the Shiro Bingbei Club as Yoshihara's pursuing house. The people in the club are responsible for managing Yoshihara's various chores."

"Maintaining the law and order of Yoshihara-is the most important job of Shiro Bingbei Club."

"Yoshihara has three thousand wandering girls, and there are countless people who enter and leave Yoshihara every day."

"If the flow of people is large, it is inevitable that some scum will appear."

"Those who sneak away with women's money, those who don't pay after playing a lot of fun, and those who violently oppose the girls... This kind of scum appears in Yoshiwara every day."

"After these scumbags who disturbed Yoshihara's public security appeared, the Shiro Bingbei Club, whose mission was to maintain Yoshihara's public security, would take action to bring these scumbags to justice."

"Just now it was the scum of Miss Gushengxiu from Shiro Bingbei Club who didn't give money after catching fun."

"I seemed to have heard you call that woman named Guasheng "Yoshihara Concentric"." Ogata asked, "What is Yoshihara Concentric? Is it the official title of Shiro Bingbei Club?"

"Hehehe." The middle-aged woman covered her mouth and chuckled a few times, "No. "Yoshihara Ritongxin" is not an official title."

"'Yoshihara Unisex' is just a title given to Miss Guashengxiu by us Edo people."

"Ms. Guashengxiu is also one of our famous celebrities in Edo."

"She is from the Shiro Bingbei Club."

"Although she is a daughter, she has strong swordsmanship and ability to do things."

"Those who dare to disturb the law and order of Yoshiwara, unless they escape from Edo, they will basically not be able to escape from the palm of Miss Kasho Hideo."

"In order to catch those who disturbed Yoshihara's law and order and escaped from Yoshiwara, Miss Guasheng always shuttled through the streets of Edo, so the people in Edo knew about the existence of Miss Guasheng."

"Ms. Guashengxiu has become a celebrity in Edo without knowing it."

"Because of the existence of Ms. Guashengxiu, Yoshihara's public order has improved a lot, so Ms. Guashengxiu's popularity in Yoshiwara is very high, and it is very popular with Yoshihara's girls."

"Yoshihara's wandering girls gave Miss Gushengxiu a nickname: Yoshihara Tongxin."

"It means'Yoshihara's Concentricity'."

"And this title also spread unknowingly, and people other than Yoshihara Yunu also began to call Miss Guashengxiu as'Yoshihara Concentric'."

"In addition to'Yoshihara's Tongxin', Miss Gua Shengxiu also has a nickname,'Female Swordsman'."

"This title was given to Miss Gushengxiu by someone outside Yoshihara"

"Ms. Gua Shengxiu's sharp swordsmanship has impressed many people, so everyone also gave Miss Gua Shengxiu the nickname of'Female Swordsman'."

"But compared to the ‘Female Swordsman’, the title of ‘Yoshihara Concentric’ is better and more popular."

"Edo is so open..." As soon as the middle-aged woman's voice fell, Acho nodded with a serious face, "Even women can be officials..."

"Ohhhhh~" the middle-aged woman covered her mouth and smiled, "this lady, you have misunderstood this."

"How could a woman be an official in the shogunate."

"Ms. Guashengxiu is not an official post of Shiro Bingbei Club."

"It's a person hired by the Shiro Bingbei Club."

"So Ms. Gua Shengxiu is actually a white body, not an official who is being made up by the Shogunate.

"The wages Ms. Guashengxiu received was also paid for by the Shiro Bingbei Club, not by the Shogunate."

"The reason why Yoshihara's wandering girls gave Miss Gua Shengxiu the nickname of'Yoshiwara Concentric'~www.wuxiahere.com~ On the one hand, the reason is also for the convenience of calling Miss Gua Shengxiu who does not have any official positions."

"Strictly speaking, Ms. Guashengxiu is not an official at Shiro Bingbei Club, but everyone actually treats her as an official at Shiro Bingbei Club."

After Ogata and Amachi quietly listened to the introduction of the middle-aged woman, Shuangshuang thanked the middle-aged woman for being so patient in telling them about the Shirobei Club.

After the introduction by the middle-aged woman, the sushi ordered by Ogata and Amachi happened to be served.

While stuffing sushi in his mouth, Amachi lowered the volume, and sighed towards Ogata at a volume that only she and Ogata could hear:

"That girl named Gua Sheng is really amazing. She can be called the'Female Swordsman' by everyone."

"Yeah." Ogata nodded softly, and then learned the volume of Amachi's just now, and whispered, "It's very powerful. But... Although Ms. Guayu's swordsmanship is indeed very strong, it is a female swordsman. The title is a bit too much."

A helpless smile appeared on Ogata's face.

"According to my visual observation, Miss Gusheng's swordsmanship should be only between that of Shimada's Uncle Zhong, and her strength is not enough to be crowned the title of'Swordsman'."

"People in this country like to give people random nicknames."

Speaking of this, Ogata couldn't help but vomit.

"From ancient times to the present, people in this country like to give people blind nicknames."

"What about Tiger Kato, Thor, Sixth Demon King, Echigo Dragon..."

"Even I have been given a lot of messy nicknames."

"I don't know if I will have any new nicknames..."
