I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

"I was a swordsman in ancient Japan(

"Do you have anything to drink here?" Shuntaro scanned the room, "I'm a little thirsty."

"There is some water there." The wind chime said to another table not far away. "If you want to drink, just take it."

"Don't you have any other drinks besides water?"

"Of course not." Mr. Windchime looked straightforward and confident. "I'm an oiran. If you want to drink or eat, you can just clap your hands to bring it up. Why do I need to put food and drink in the room? "

"If you want to drink tea, I will ask Aji and Aye to bring it up."

"Forget it." Shuntaro waved his hand, "It's big night now, so don't bother your bald to make tea for me."

"Then you can drink some water, and you will do it." Feng Chime went to the table, picked up the water placed on this table, and handed it to Shuntaro.

"Why did you come to play with me all of a sudden today?" Feng Chime asked back as he handed the water to Shuntaro.

"There is no special reason, it just suddenly occurred to me that I haven't seen you for a while, so I came to see you."

Just as Shuntaro poured water from the wind chime in his mouth, the wind chime seemed to be thinking of something, and said softly:

"When I was walking to Yang's room tonight, I saw you who were in the fire again, the one who came to Yoshihara to have fun every night."

"Gokutaro?" Shuntaro asked.

"Yes, that person."

"That guy is really annoying."

"What's wrong with Gokutaro?" Shuntaro narrowed his eyes slightly. "Did he bump into you while you were in the "Oiran Road"?"

"When he knows that I and you are friends, how can he have the courage to offend me." Feng Chin Taifu let out a few sneers, "That Kiki Taro's wine and character are very poor. As long as there is something wrong, it must be hit. curse."

"Many Yoshihara girls have been crying and hurting by him."

"It also includes a few girls who I met Umeya."

"If you have a chance in the future, please give him a good warning for me."

"Let him keep his rough character in the future."

"...I see." Shuntaro nodded lightly, "I will warn him to be more careful later."

"For Jitarou, Chang, you don't have to worry too much."

"In order to prevent Gokutaro from messing around in Yoshihara, I used a little trick to monitor him."

"I know everything he does in Yoshihara."

"As long as he dares to do any excessive behavior in Yoshihara, even if you don't need to report to me, I will teach him well."

"You don't know how to be free in the fire." The tone of the wind chime was a little bit more mocking, "You can go in and out freely even in places like Yoshihara."

"In fact, the four heavenly kings have the power and financial resources to enter and leave freely. Other ninjas cannot enter and leave the Ninja Village freely."

"How the Four Heavenly Kings say it is in Shiranui, second only to the existence of the Balrog, free in and out of Yoshihara-we still have this little power."

"Is there anything interesting happening in you guys recently?" Feng Chime yawned greatly.

"When did you become so interested in things in Shiranui?"

"I won't be interested in the things in your Ponin Village. It's just a rare visit to see you, so I will find some topics that you can answer to talk to you for a while."

"We don't know the interesting thing that happened recently in the fire..." Shuntaro thought for a while, "It's true."

"Just two days ago, the Flame Demon was finally named the'banner' by General Zhengyi."

"It's no longer a white body without any identity, but a shogunate with the title of'Banmoto'. The Flame Demon has been very happy these two days."

"I always smiled brightly."

"The smiling face of the flame demon is like a piece of orange peel that has been left for a long time and has been wrinkled. Chang, can you imagine what it looks like?"

"Ah, I understand, I understand." The wind chime nodded, "The kind of person with a lot of wrinkles on his face is full of folds when he smiles, just like a wrinkled orange peel."

Speaking of this, the wind chime paused, and then asked with a few black lines on his face:

"Why is this interesting?"

"The interesting point is not here." Shun Taro's mouth curled up, revealing a meaningful smile, "In order to become a direct minister of the shogunate and ask himself a status that can be on the table, the Balrog led all the people in Shiranui. After arriving in Edo, I have been hosting banquets for high-ranking officials to please these high-ranking officials."

"I used to accompany the Flame Demon to have a few drinks with certain high-ranking officials."

"Usually, in front of us, there is always an airy Balrog, who can only smile obediently in front of those high-ranking officials, like a well-behaved puppy."

"The peerless ninja who possesses unparalleled ninjutsu, for the sake of fame and fortune, has to whisper to those who may not even hold the sword securely."

"Don't you think this is funny?"

"Where is this interesting?" The wind chime said angrily.

"I think it's very interesting." Shintaro smiled and shrugged. "The sword in the hands of us warriors is really no match for those who hold this ‘sword’ called ‘power’.”

"I've always been very curious." Wind chime may be tired from sitting, walked on his knees to the edge of the wall not far away, leaned back against the wall, and continued to chat with Shuntaro. Cooperation, to say that it’s ugly is to submit to the shogunate.

"You guys are so good, why do you want to submit to the shogunate and be the dog of the shogunate?"

"Do you want to get the assistance of the shogunate to strengthen your own strength?"

"I don't know." Shintaro shrugged, "I never cared about this kind of thing."

"How do you say it is also the next generation of Flame Demon..." Feng Chime's tone was full of helplessness, "You are so perfunctory with these major events, how will you inherit Shiranui in the future?"

Shuntaro twitched the corner of his mouth when he heard the words of Tai Fu Feng Chime.

"Chang, you are wrong about that." Shuntaro grinned, "The next generation of Balrog may not be me."

"Huh? Why?" The wind chime said in doubt, "Didn't you tell me that you want to succeed the next generation of Balrog?"

"That's because you heard it wrong." Shuntaro said, "My original words at the time were ‘I may succeed as the next generation of Balrog’."

"You missed the word ‘may’."

"In order to succeed as Balrog, in addition to outstanding strength, you also need to possess a lot of abilities."

"As far as I know, that Kokutaro is now actively fighting for the position of the next generation of Balrog."

Hearing the name "Gokutaro", Feng Chime's face showed disgust.

"If such a person with a bad personality becomes a Balrog, then I think you may not be far from extinction in Shiranui." Tai Fu Feng Chime said with a certain tone, "This kind of person with such a bad personality, in your Shiranui Does anyone support it?"

"Don't tell me-there are quite a few people who support Gokutaro." Shuntaro sneered. "Although these people who support Gokutaro are basically the same simple and rude people as Gokutaro."

"Since that Gokutaro is actively fighting for the position of the Balrog now, don't you plan to compete with that Gkutaro?"

"I don't want it." Shintaro responded without thinking, "'18th-generation Balrog? I'm not interested in this kind of title."

"I am not at all interested in things like'succession to the next generation of Balrog'."

"...Your character has never changed." A smile that made people unable to penetrate the specific emotions appeared on the face of Mr. Wind chime, "From childhood to adulthood, I have always only embraced things like'fights'. Has unparalleled enthusiasm."

"Don't you women all like men who don't change their original intentions?" Shun Taro's tone was half-joking.

"Sorry, I prefer handsome men to men who don't change their original intentions."

After that, the wind chime yawned vigorously.

"Okay, let's talk about it, I'm tired and want to sleep."

"Huh? It's not long since I've just been here, right? Drive me away so soon?"

"I should have told you many times? It's tiring to engage in'Oiran Dochu'." The wind chime rubbed his eyes, which were only half-open now, "If you want to chat with me, pick one. Come again when there are no guests ordering me."

"Oiran is not more relaxed than ordinary Yugirls," Shuntaro said softly.

"Of course." The wind chime said with a wry smile, "Try putting on those double-death shoes, and how many laps in Yoshihara with the ‘outer eight-character step’ style of footwork?"

"Anyone with no physical strength can't be an oiran."

"Since it is so hard, do you want me to redeem you?" Shuntaro let out a few chuckles.

"You? Redemption?" The wind chime master seemed to have heard some big joke, showing a very exaggerated expression, "Do you have the money to redeem the oiran?"

"No." Shuntaro replied bluntly, "but I can save money from now on."

"When you save enough money to redeem my body, I'm almost 28 years old and can retire." After spitting out Shuntaro angrily, Feng Chime Taifu rushed to Shuntaro to wave his hand, "Redempt me something, Just avoid it."

"The current life is exhausting, but I don't hate this kind of life, and I don't want anyone to redeem it for me."

"It's good if you don't get bored with your current life." Shuntaro stood up slowly, "Then I'll go back first."

"Yeah." The wind chime nodded, "Next time you want to come and chat with me again, remember to pick one when there are no guests to order me."

"understood."

After leaving these words faintly, Shun Taro opened the window slightly, and peeped through the slit to watch the movement outside.

After confirming that no one would notice him when going out at this moment, Shuntarou pulled the gap in the window to a size large enough for him to go in and out, and then swept across the gap like a gust of wind.

The sound of wind, the sound of burning candles, and the breathing of the wind chime—there were only three sounds left in the room.

Light, shadow, and the beautiful woman still sitting not far from the window—there are only three scenes left in the room.

...

...

The next day, early morning—

Edo, Yoshihara.

"Stop for me! Stop for me!"

While Keiemon held up the stick in his hand, he chased after the sloppy ronin who was about 30 years old in front of him.

As soon as he started work today and started patrolling around Yoshihara, Keiemon ran into a ronin who ate and drank in a tea house and refused to pay.

So naturally it evolved into the current situation-Keiemon led four subordinates and started chasing after this ronin who dared to eat the king's meal and was now fleeing to Yoshiwara Gate.

Although this Ronin looked like he hadn't eaten well for a long time and was malnourished, he was not slow at all when he ran.

Suddenly, Keiemon and his men were unable to catch up with him in the first place.

In order to stop the ronin as quickly as possible, Keiemon led his subordinates to chase him, while shouting loudly, hoping to attract colleagues who were patrolling or standing guard nearby to come and support him.

And Keiemon's shouting really worked.

When Yoshihara's gate had appeared in front of him, Keiemon saw that three of his colleagues were approaching them with a long wooden stick in front of them, blocking the path of the ronin leading to the gate of Yoshiwara, and with Keiwei Together they formed a double-teaming trend against the ronin.

Seeing that support came, and he had successfully double-doubled the Ronin, joy involuntarily appeared on Keiemon's face.

As for the ronin-after seeing the official post of Shirobei Club appearing in front of him, his face sank.

After a bit of thinking flashed across his face, he suddenly stopped his feet.

Then he drew the knife from his waist.

Seeing the ronin drawing his sword, Keiemon's expression changed. While raising his hand to signal that his colleagues had stopped, he shouted at the ronin:

"Put the knife down! Obediently catch it!"

The long years of work at Shiro Bingbei Club gave Keimen a loud voice.

But the loud voice of Keiemon did not waver the Ronin at all.

Ronin, who had already secreted sweat on his forehead, tightened the knife in his hand, and said in a deep voice:

"I don't want to hurt people! Let me go!"

"Do you think we have the possibility of letting you leave?" Keiwei's goalkeeper made a mistake. He slowly lifted the long wooden stick in his hand and pointed the tip of the stick at the ronin in front of him, "I'll say it again. Put the knife down for me!"

Seeing that the negotiation failed, more sweat was secreted from Ronin's forehead.

At the same time he also held the knife in his hand tighter.

Looking at Ronin who was holding the knife tighter in his hand, Keiemon and the colleagues around him, the expressions on their faces became heavier involuntarily.

Including Keiemon, there are 8 of them.

The weapon they used, the long wooden stick, had an attack distance far above the knife.

But they still didn't dare to be careless, only silently clenching the long wooden sticks in their hands, and looking for the right time to attack while maintaining the situation of surrounding the ronin.

And this Ronin is also looking for the right time to break through.

In this way, the two groups started a confrontation that was enough to make the surrounding air heavier.

It was early in the morning, and although it was the time when Yoshihara had the least amount of people, there were still people gathered around Keiemon and the others in twos and threes to watch the excitement.

And these people who watched the excitement were also smart. Seeing that ronin drew a real knife, he knew that a **** battle might erupt later, so they all stood far away.

These people who watched the excitement all stood far away, and they saved Keiemon's affairs, allowing Keiemon to fight freely later, without worrying about hurting the innocent by mistake.

This movement of Keiemon and the others also disturbed the Yumeya on both sides of the street.

The Yugirls living in the surrounding Yugirls’ houses opened the windows and looked at Keiemon and others underneath with frightened or curious eyes.

Just when the atmosphere of this confrontation became more and more serious, and the battle might erupt in the next second--

"Keiemon!"

A familiar shout suddenly sounded not far in front of Keiemon.

"Huh?" Keiemon kept his gaze on the Ronin while continuing to fixate on the Ronin, and at the same time he passed the light over Ronin's shoulders and looked farther forward.

After Yu Guang shot further ahead, Keiemon saw one of his acquaintances—the old man of their Shiro Bingbei Club: Kawajiro.

Kawajiro is an old man who is 58 years old this year. He is mainly responsible for clerical work in the club.

At the age of 18, he worked at Shiro Bingbei Club. He has worked in Shiro Bingbei Club for 40 years. He is the oldest person in their club.

Even their current leader, Rokudaime Shiro Hebei, is respectful when facing the diligent Kawajiro who has worked in the club for 40 years.

Kawajiro, who was extremely familiar, was followed by an unfamiliar young samurai.

This young man with fifty-five officials is ordinary and has a simple appearance.

The clothes on his body were clean and he didn't seem to be the kind of ronin who had eaten but never stopped.

"Keiemon!" Kawajiro led the strange young samurai to Keiemon's side, and asked Keiemon in a deep voice, "What's the matter with this guy?"

"This guy didn't pay after eating and drinking in the tea house." Keiemon, whose eyes were fixed on this ronin, replied to Kawajiro who was to his side without looking back, "Kawajiro, you go back first. , You are standing here, and you may be implicated when you get into a fight later."

"Do I need to call in more reinforcements?" Kawajiro asked.

"...Well, please."

After all, the opponent is the Ronin who has drawn the real sword.

So no amount of caution can be overstated.

In order to be cautious, Keiemon decided to adopt the crowded tactics and swarmed to take down the dangerous culprit in one fell swoop.

When Kawajiro just wanted to nod his head vigorously and said, "I'll go to rescue the soldiers now," the young samurai who had been following Kawajiro suddenly said at this moment:

"Kawajiro, you just said-to become an employee of Shiro Bingbei Club in charge of maintaining law and order, you must first test your strength, right?"

"Huh?" Kawajiro was taken aback for a while, and then quickly replied, "Yes, so you wait first, wait for Keiemon to take down the culprit, and then let Keiemon come to test you... What, what are you doing?!"

Before Kawajiro's words were finished, the young samurai walked through the thin encirclement built by Keiemon and the others for the ronin who eats the king's meal, and walked towards the ronin.

"Hey!" Keiemon was stunned by the unexpected scene, and hurriedly shouted at the young samurai, "What are you doing?"

The young samurai ignored Keiemon and the others, and when he reached a distance from the ronin, he stopped.

"Who are you?! Suddenly leaning over to do what you want to do?!" Ronin turned the tip of the knife and pointed the tip of the knife at the young samurai who suddenly leaned against him.

"I didn't want to do anything." The young samurai said to Ronin in a calm tone, "I am anxious to find this man named Keiemon, so can you please put down your sword quickly and catch it with your hands? This way everyone can save money. A lot of time."

"Who would just grab it like this!" Ronin roared~www.wuxiahere.com~You guy is not an official of Shiro Bingbei Clubhouse, right? "

"My name is Majima Goro. Let me be regarded as an Izumoman who passed by here."

"Since it's not a government official, just step aside for me! Otherwise, I'll even kill you!"

"...Didn't you find out?" the young samurai asked.

The inexplicable rhetoric of the young samurai caused Ronin, and Keiemon and others next to him, to be stunned.

"What did you find?" Ronin asked back.

"Didn't you find out—you have been standing within my best attack range since just now."

The voice fell.

The cold light flickered.

The cold light leaked from the scabbard around the left waist of the young samurai, like a stream of light sweeping towards the knife in the Ronin's hand.

clang!

He didn't react at all to the shot of the young Ronin samurai.

With the sound of a huge metal and iron strike, the knife in Ronin's hand was directly shot and flew out.

After shooting down the knife in Ronin's hand, the young samurai turned the knife and placed the knife on the neck of the Ronin.

"People who don't even know that they are already within the enemy's best attack range can't kill me." The young samurai's tone was still calm.

Let me show you the special haori worn by the officials of the Shiro Bingbei Club.

This is a front view, with the words "club" painted on both sides of the placket →

This is the back photo. There is a big "door" on the back of Haori →

The pictures are all taken from the Japanese drama "Yoshihara One Heart"

Because there is very little information on the Shirobei Club on the Internet, I don't know if the official staff of the Shirobei Club in history is really like this.

Let’s use it as their exclusive haori. It’s really like this (laughs)
