I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

"I was a swordsman in ancient Japan(

Ogata's journey to Sakuramon House instantly became smoother with the guidance of Gushengxiu.

It's impossible for the Kansaifan in every Yuruma's house to not know the Gua Shengxiu who is "Yoshiwara One Heart".

Therefore, no one of them dared to disturb Ogata, who was behind Guasheng.

Just like in the modern earth, no vendor would foolishly ask a person behind a certain policeman, "Would you like to buy something from our house?"

Missing the annoying interruptions from the genie fans, Ogata has a feeling of jumping out of the sticky quagmire.

When Guasheng was leading the way for Ogata and Amachi, he spoke to the two behind from time to time:

"By the way-I haven't asked the names of the two of you yet. I'm Guan Shengxiu from the Shiro Bingbei Club."

"I am from Izumo, Goro Majima."

"I'm... Ako." At the moment when Shiranui moved his base area to near Edo, Amachi didn't want to tell his real name in Edo, so he arbitrarily used a pseudonym.

After a brief introduction, Gua Sheng began to chat with the two casually:

"People who come to Yoshihara basically come to have fun."

"You have to spend money for pleasure."

"And it's a very large sum of money."

"'Daily Expenses" is not an exaggerated rhetoric in Yoshiwara. I see many people who can spend hundreds or two thousand taels in a night in Yoshiwara."

"Because many people who came to Yoshihara basically carried large sums of money with them, they attracted many thieves and robbers."

"Yoshihara is considered to be one of the places with the largest number of thieves and bandits in Edo."

"As a result, our Shiro Bingbei Club had to send a large number of people to patrol the streets of Yoshihara all the time."

Speaking of this, Guasheng turned his head and cast a serious look at Ogata.

"When you come to Yoshihara for fun in the future, remember to take good care of your wallet. Try not to go to crowded places."

"Thank you for your suggestion." Ogata laughed blankly. "But I probably won't come to Yoshihara anymore."

"In addition to taking good care of your wallet, you must also remember to stay away from strangers who come in inexplicably."

When Guasheng said this, he turned his attention to Ah Ding.

"Although Yoshihara is bright, day and night, this place is actually one of the darkest places in Edo."

When he said this, an imperceptible bleak color flashed in the pupils of Gua Sheng's eyes.

"The invisible'underground activities' are countless in Yoshiwara."

"One of the main tasks of our Shirobei Club is to fight against these'underground activities'."

"The most harmful'underground activities' are human traffickers."

"They deceived the young girls with their rhetoric, and abducted those girls into various girls' houses."

"Once you are sold into the Yu Girl's house, it will be very difficult to handle."

"Because we can find out that you were abducted and trafficked into Yunyu's house. You were still acting there. It was obvious that you entered the Yunv's house voluntarily, but in order to leave Yoshihara, you lied that you were trafficked."

"In short, after entering Yoshihara, women have to be more careful than men."

"Whether you are in Yoshihara or outside Yoshihara, you must be extra careful with those traffickers."

"Many human traffickers operate outside Yoshihara, abduct girls outside Yoshihara, and then sell the girls into Yoshihara."

Similarly, both Ogata and Amachi heard the uncle say at the "female cut hand pick-up point".

Both the uncle and the melancholy emphasized the danger of human traffickers. It can be seen that human traffickers are really rampant in Yoshiwara.

Obviously there is no friendship, Guasheng still spends so many words to tell Ogata and Amachi various precautions in Yoshiwara, which makes the two of them can not help but give birth to a little affection for this enthusiastic girl.

"Thank you for your reminder!" Ah Ding smiled, "But I don't think any trafficker would like an ugly girl like me?"

After all, Ah Ding showed a weird smile, and pointed at the terrible makeup on her face that couldn't bear to look directly at her.

"Don't be careless, Miss Axing."

Gusheng said seriously.

"As far as I know, during the recent period, Yoshihara's guests have been particularly interested in people with full breasts."

Speaking of this, Guasheng's gaze shifted to Ah Ding Nasho's kimono bulging chest.

I don't know if it was Ogata's illusion. He always felt that when Guasheng turned his gaze to Amachi's chest, the corners of his mouth seemed to twitch, and his gaze seemed a little weird.

"Those with full **** have become one of the main targets of traffickers in recent times."

Gua Sheng continued.

"Even if the face looks mediocre, but as long as the **** are full, they will still be abducted into the girl's house by traffickers."

"What's more-Miss Axing, please don't say that you are an ugly girl, you are too arrogant to be humble."

"Although your makeup... is so thick that you can't see what you originally looked like, I feel that your foundation is very good."

"I have been working in Yoshihara for a long time, and I face so many beautiful girls every day, so I still have some eyes on the beauty and ugliness."

"So I can feel it-your foundation must be very good."

"Your skin is white enough, and your figure is good."

"After a good dressing up, she must be the kind of beauty who hopes to become the top card in a certain girl's house."

For the disguised compliment of Gua Sheng, Ah Ding seems to be very useful.

Amachi, who looked happy, poked Ogata next to him with his elbow.

"Have you heard? Ms. Gua Sheng said that my qualifications are enough to be the top card of Younvwu."

"And it's the kind of top card that is qualified to compete for the position of the oiran." Guasheng added with a smile.

Hearing what Guasheng said, Ah Ding was even happier.

However, Ah Ding still played with his hair and said in a helpless tone:

"It's a pity that I haven't studied much. I can't even recognize Chinese characters. It's impossible to be an oiran."

"If you want to be an oiran, it's not enough to know the book and to be reasonable." Gusheng said lightly, "Only the kind of beautiful, knowledgeable, well-rounded piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and very talkative... In short, if you are the kind of almost perfect woman, To have the title of Oiran."

"Now in the whole Yoshihara, only the oiran of the wind chime from Umeya is left."

"Huh?" Ah Ding raised his eyebrows because of doubt, "I heard what you said just now, can there be more than one oiran in Yoshihara?"

"Of course there can be more than one oiran." Gusheng said in a helpless tone. "It's just that the oiran is too difficult to be an oiran. Most of the time there is only one oiran, so I give people a kind of Yoshihara's oiran with only one. illusion."

"There can be many oirans."

"Yoshihara had three oirans at the same time several years ago."

"It's just that I hadn't started working at the Shiro Bingbei Club at that time, so I didn't see the scene of the three oiran vying for beauty."

Speaking of this, Gua Sheng paused as if thinking of something.

After a long pause, she scratched her hair, and then said to Ah Ding in a slightly apologetic tone:

"Although I said just now that your qualifications are good enough to be the first card in a Yoshinori house in Yoshiwara."

"But in the future, unless you are really desperate, don't come to Yoshihara to be a wandering girl."

"Yoshihara is easy to come in, but difficult to come out."

"Even the oiran standing on the top of the Yuu Girl can hardly die in Yoshihara."

"Of the three oirans I just mentioned, only one is a holy grail."

"The only oiran who died well, succeeded in being redeemed by a rich man who liked her before he became ill, and then he married the rich man."

"Being redeemed and able to combine with people like an ordinary woman, this is the best ending that wandering girls can't even think of."

"One of the other two people died of Hualiu's disease in the second year of becoming an oiran."

"The other one, for some unknown reason, failed to control her figure, her figure was out of shape, no guests ordered her again, and she was abandoned by her original owner to the banks of the Rashomon River."

"That..." Ogata asked, "What is'Rashomon River Bank'?"

"...Did you see that?"

Guasheng stopped and made a stubborn mouth towards the west.

Ogata and Amachi looked in the direction of Gusui’s mouth,

I saw a dark area on the west side of Yoshihara.

Obviously that area is also within the tall wooden wall and is part of Yoshihara, but that area is incompatible with other areas.

Other areas are brightly lit, like daylight.

Only the black lights in that area are blind, and there are only a few lights.

"That place is'Rashomon River Bank'."

Gua Sheng said in a calm tone.

"The elderly, the sick...In short, there will be no more wandering girls whose names will be named by any guests, and most of them will be abandoned to the'Rashomon River Bank'."

"You can see a lot of the top cards of a certain girl's house in the'Rashomon River'."

"The wandering girls who were abandoned to the'Rashomon River', no one from any wandering house will take care of them again."

"They can only recruit guests on their own."

"In order to earn a living, they are basically not rejecting customers. And they will use very rough methods to solicit customers."

"People walking on the banks of the Rashomon River will be held by their hands or clothes and forced to enter the room. The spirit of pulling people into the room is like the legendary Rashomon, so people are accustomed to it. That area is the'Rashomon River Bank'."

"Of course-it is called the Rashomon River Bank. There is another very important reason. It is because of the desolate scenery of that area and the changes in the fate of the wandering girls who live in this area, which is enough to remind people. To Rashomon."

After listening to Guasheng's narration quietly, Ogata and Amachi couldn't help but become depressed.

Guasheng also realized that what he said just now seemed to spoil the atmosphere of the conversation, so he turned around and bowed to Ogata and apologized: "Sorry, what I just said seems too heavy..."

"It's okay." Ah Dingqiang smiled, "I don't have to apologize to us. Instead, I want you to thank you for telling us so much about Yoshihara. Thanks to you, we know a lot of things we didn't know before."

"I think it is necessary for you Shiro Bingbei Club to properly publicize the difficulties of a young girl, so that every girl who plans to enter Yoshiwara to be a wandering girl should carefully consider it."

"Of course we have to promote the difficulty of being a wandering girl." Gua Sheng smiled bitterly. "Whenever a girl intends to come to Yoshiwara to be a wandering girl, we will eagerly persuade them to think carefully and tell them that they will be a wandering girl. The consequences."

"It's a pity-many girls still choose to enter Yoshihara without hesitation even after they have learned about the difficulties of Yunyu."

"As for the reason...oh..."

Gua Sheng did not go on, only let out a long sigh.

Although Guasheng did not go on, Ogata and Amachi also knew why so many girls still entered Yoshihara without hesitation even if they learned about the difficulties of Yunyu.

There is no other reason-for the money.

Even during the Taiping years, there must still be a large number of people who are desperately poor.

Those girls who have decided to become a wandering girl even if they know that they are still a wandering girl, are probably already trapped in a situation where there is no other way to survive besides becoming a wandering girl.

After Gua Sheng let out another long sigh, he said:

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Let's continue walking, turn the street in front, and you will see the Sakura Gate House."

...

...

Because I just talked about a topic that was not easy, the atmosphere between the three people became very heavy.

For the rest of the road, none of the three spoke.

Sakuramon House is worthy of being one of Yoshihara's few "Dajianshi" houses. In terms of the style of the house, it is the other Yumenoya around Yuankatsu.

After Jian Shifan, who was guarding at the door of Yingmen House, explained their intentions, this Jian Shifan immediately showed his expression.

"Oh! Saya's steamed buns! Your speed is faster than expected! Haven't seen you, how about Fujijiro?"

"Tujiro's waist is injured." Ogata said, "so we will send steamed buns for him."

"That's it... Then you will tell Fujijiro for our Sakuramon House owner, "Pay attention to your body"!"

"Well, I will."

After accepting the buns, the man Jiansefan gave Ogata a letter certifying that they had received the buns.

Said it was written evidence, in fact it was just a small piece of white paper with the words "Sakuramon House has received 30 steamed buns" and so on.

Before coming to deliver the steamed buns, Fujijiro told Ogata that Sakuramonya had already paid for it in advance, so Ogata only had to send the steamed buns, and then send this note and the furoshiki tape that was responsible for wrapping the box containing the steamed buns. Just come back.

After putting all the written records and the furoshiki into his arms, Amachi Asaogata asked:

"Mashima, what are we going to do next?"

Because Guasheng was present, Amachi did not call her the usual name for Ogata, but instead called Ogata's pseudonym.

"What else can I do?" Ogata shrugged, "Of course, after sending this note and the furoshiki back to the tea house, I went directly to the hotel."

Ogata wanted to try to get some useful information in Yoshihara.

But it didn't come to my mind, it sounded like some unbearable stuff, and there was not a single piece of useful information.

In addition, it is not too early now, so Ogata also lost interest in staying in Yoshihara.

"Are you leaving?" Gu Sheng said, "Then I will send you to the door. I will also go back to the clubhouse to rest. I haven't rested tonight. It's time to take a rest."

After thanking Gua Sheng, the three of them started on the road again.

Under the guidance of Guasheng, the three people re-turned onto the avenue that was located in the middle of Yoshihara and connected to the gate.

According to Guasheng's introduction-this road is located in the middle of Yoshihara and divides Yoshihara into two. Its name is "Nakanomachi".

When the three were marching towards the gate along Nakanomachi, a riot suddenly sounded from behind them.

"What's the matter?" Gua Sheng frowned and looked behind him.

Also looking behind him was Ogata.

I saw the crowd behind him suddenly noisy for some reason, and everyone's face was filled with excitement.

Gusheng, who was also unidentified, bowed lightly to Ogata and Amachi.

"Sorry, let me lose my company for a while. I'll go and see what happened."

After that, Gua Sheng held the wooden knife around his waist and ran towards the rioting crowd behind him.

After a while, Guasheng came back.

"What happened?" Ah Ding asked.

"A rare thing happened." Gua Sheng smiled bitterly. "A rich guy lighted the wind chime."

"So "Oiran Dochu" is about to begin."

"Because they can finally meet the legendary oiran, these people are all excited."

Hearing these words of Gusheng, Ogata and Amachi were both stunned.

After regaining his senses of dazedness, Amachi turned his head and put a sly smile on his face, while jokingly said to Ogata beside him:

"Who just told me that it is difficult to see Oiran? Didn't we see it here?"

To this joke of Amachi, Ogata replied with a tone of joking in helplessness:

"This can only show that our luck is pretty good..."

"Yes." Guasheng answered, "Your luck is indeed pretty good."

"Not everyone has the financial resources to order oirans."

"How? Are you interested in seeing the Oiran?"

...

...

at the same time--

Yoshihara, somewhere in a remote shadow area outside the gate.

In this remote shadow zone, there are two people standing.

Two young men who wore ordinary kimonos with only Kalashaki at their waists. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

One of the two young men looked at the Yoshihara gate in front of him, stretched his waist vigorously, and then in a lazy tone, only he and the other young man beside him could hear clearly. The tone whispered:

"I finally arrived at Yoshiwara... I blame the Lord Balrog for a meeting tonight suddenly, which wasted a lot of time and made me come to Yoshihara so late today."

"It's nothing more than a meeting, but the meeting that was held still warned us to be careful of boring meetings in Edo."

"In terms of speaking, the content is still the same, it's all about being cautious in words and deeds in Edo, and don't conflict with the official...I'm tired of these words."

As soon as this young man's complaint fell, another young man standing beside him immediately said in a respectful tone:

"Master Jitarou, let's fast forward to Yoshihara. Because of Master Fengma, we arrived at Yoshihara later than usual today, so let's hurry up."

"That's right." Called by the young man as Gitaro stretched again, "Let's go."

After that, Gitaro took a step forward.

But just after taking a step forward, he paused.

"By the way, Keitaro." Gitaro turned his head, looked at the youth who reminded him to hurry up, and then whispered in a volume that only he and this young man could hear clearly. After entering Yoshihara, pay attention to changing the wording."

"I am not the'Four Heavenly Kings' Jitarou in Shiranui."

"It's just a prostitute who went to Jiyuan to seek pleasure---Gokuichiro."

"Yes." The young man next to Gitaro, Keitaro replied, "I will pay attention."

"Go." Gitaro adjusted his upper body kimono, "Into Yoshihara!"
