I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

"I was a swordsman in ancient Japan (

As soon as the genius turned on, Ogata arranged his own clothes, Da Shiten and Da Zizai wore them around their waists, and the bullet-filled Kasana put them in their arms, and then formally set off for Yoshihara.

Because the genius was not long before dawn, there were not many pedestrians on the street, and there were no obstacles from the crowd, so that Ogata's road was very smooth, and he soon reached the Nihon Embankment.

Yoshihara was built on a river bank called "Japan Embankment".

Climb up the embankment, then walk inside, and cross a long road called "Fifty Gendao" to reach the gate of Yoshihara.

Climbing up the Nippon Embankment and entering the Fifty Kinds of Road, Ou easily saw the big sign that was inserted next to the entrance of the Fifty Kinds of Road.

When going to Yoshihara with Amachi last night, Ogata and Amachi found the sign inserted next to the entrance of the Fifty Gendo Road and read roughly what was written on the sign.

In fact, there is no big deal written on this sign, just a few precautions for entering Yoshihara.

For example: Be careful with fire. Except for doctors, everyone in Yoshihara is not allowed to ride in a sedan chair on horseback...

The total length of the Fifty Roads is about 100 meters.

After walking this one-hundred-meter long road, you can reach the only gate of Yoshihara.

Compared with last night, the gate of Yoshihara at this moment looked much deserted.

The gate of Yoshihara last night, it can be said that people are like flowing water and horses like dragons, and there is a constant flow of people who come to play or do business.

And now Yoshihara Gate, only a few people are left to shuttle there.

The officials in the Shirobei Clubhouse guarding the gate of Yoshihara were all just waking up and listless, yawning constantly.

It is right for Yoshihara to be so deserted now, after all, no one would come to Yoshihara for pleasure in the early morning.

After walking through the gate of Yoshihara, he turned right in the direction of Oo and walked straight toward the Shirobei clubhouse, which was set up next to the gate of Yoshihara.

"Gui'an." Said Ogata Chao, a young official who was standing at the entrance of the clubhouse, with a long wooden stick in his hand, "I want to work in your clubhouse."

After all, Ogata Chao still slammed the "recruitment notice" that was still posted at the entrance of the clubhouse.

The young official looked up and down Ogata several times:

"The people who are in charge of the paperwork have already been recruited here. Now we only recruit people who have good skills and can maintain law and order."

After hearing this reminder from the young official, Ogata nodded:

"I know, I'm here for this."

"That's good." After a light nod, the young official bowed slightly towards Ogata, "Please wait a moment."

After all, the young official turned around and entered the clubhouse.

Before long, the young man returned to Ogata's field of vision with a small stack of paper.

This young official is not returning alone.

Behind him were several companions who were holding long wooden sticks like him.

Ogata glanced at the small wad of paper in the hands of the young official, and said in his heart:

——Wanted order...

At a glance, Ogata recognized what the gadget was in the hands of the young official.

After all, Ogata is quite familiar with this thing.

Not long after he left the Hirose clan, I saw that the painting was wanted for his looks.

"Now, please forgive me." The young official said in a very polite tone, with a slightly apologetic smile, and said to Ogata, "We cannot hire wanted criminals at large."

"I understand." Ogata smiled, "I can understand."

"Please wait patiently." After that, the young official began to flip the pile of wanted orders in his hand quickly, comparing Ogata's face one by one.

For this comparison of young officials, Ogata is not worried.

After all, the human skin mask fits right on the face right now.

From an outsider's point of view, Ogata is just an ordinary person with average facial features and a simple appearance.

This simple appearance is more like a farmer than a samurai.

With the help of a human skin mask, Ogata successfully passed the test of "comparing the looks of the wanted criminal".

"Okay, no problem." The young official nodded lightly and collected the wanted warrant in his hand. Then he turned sideways and opened the door of the clubhouse behind him, "Please come in with me."

The interior of the Shirobei Club was much larger than Ogata had imagined.

After handing Oshaten at his waist to his right hand, Ogata followed the young official in the clubhouse, and the two finally stopped outside a simple-looking paper sliding door.

"Please wait a while inside." The young official said as he opened the sliding paper door, "I will invite the person in charge of our club."

"Yeah." Ogata nodded with a smile at the young officer, "I'm sorry."

This room is supposed to be a room dedicated to hospitality. The rooms are not big or small and cleaned up.

Ogata knelt and sat on the side of the only table in the room, placing Dashaten on the tatami mat on the right, silently waiting for the person in charge to arrive.

I don't know if it was because it was early in the morning and Yoshihara's traffic was relatively small, so the officials in the clubhouse were relatively idle. After a while, the paper sliding door of the room was reopened.

The one who opened the paper door and stepped into the room was an old man who was about 5 or 60 years old and dressed in the special dark blue Haori of the Shiro Bingbei Club.

Although he is old, the old man's steps are still solid and powerful, and it can be seen that his bones are still strong.

"Gui'an, my name is Kawajiro. I'm from Shiro Bingbei Club."

After the old man sat opposite Ogata, he began a brief greeting with Ogata.

And Ogata immediately bowed to the old man named Kawajiro in return.

"I am from Izumo, Goro Majima."

After a brief introduction to each other, Kawajiro looked up and down Ogata several times with scrutinizing eyes.

"Hmm...good physique." Kawajiro nodded with a smile, "Maintaining law and order in the clubhouse is not a simple task."

"After all, among the troublemakers in Yoshihara, there are everyone."

"So to work in our clubhouse, it's impossible to do it in two seconds."

Ogata understood Kawajiro's illocutionary meaning all at once.

"Do you want me to show my hands?" Ogata asked with a smile knowingly.

"The assessment is very simple." Kawajiro said, "Just discuss it with the people in our club."

"I see." Ogata nodded. "I can start anytime."

"It is Keiemon's job to discuss with the applicants." Kawajiro scratched the white hair on his head. "It's just that he was out of patrol to pass the time because he was panicking just now."

"How long will he be back?" Ogata raised his eyebrows.

If possible, Ogata didn't want to wait in the clubhouse.

"I don't know... The day is the most leisure time in our club. After the guy from Keiemon went out on patrol in the morning, he occasionally went to the tea house and returned for a few cups of tea..."

After pondering for a moment, Kawajiro stood up.

"I'll take you directly to find him, so that everyone can save a lot of time. Then slowly wait for him to come back from patrolling leisurely, and I don't know when to wait."

"Huh? Will this bother you?" A small worry appeared on Ogata's face.

Although Ogata agrees with Kawajiro's initiative to find Keiemon without waiting in the clubhouse, he doesn't want to disturb this person who is in the Shiro soldiers clubhouse because of his own affairs. The job of the elderly who are not inferior in status.

"It's okay." Kawajiro waved his hand as if he could see through Ogata's thoughts. "I just said that, now is the most leisure time for our Shiro Bingbei Club."

"I just don't have anything to do right now."

"I happened to take this opportunity to take a walk outside."

Seeing that Kawajiro had said so, Ogata couldn't say anything to refute him.

Speaking of Dashaten following Kawajiro out of the clubhouse, the air with a faint powdery smell rushed toward Ogata again.

During the day, it's time for the wanderers to get off work. The wanderers no longer sit in rows behind the fences on the first floor of every girl's house, but the smell of cosmetics and good scents are still permeated in the air.

Kawajiro seemed to be a little bit broken. As he walked along Nakanomachi to the depths of Yoshihara one after another with Ogata, he had been introducing Ogata's basic knowledge of Yoshihara all the time.

However, Ogata already knows the basic knowledge of Kawajiro and Ogata's popular science.

For example, Yumeya is divided into three levels: large, medium, and small, and women who enter and leave Yoshihara have to show the "female hand"-these knowledge, Ogata has learned from different populations.

As they walked all the way to the Shirobei clubhouse behind them, only a distance as large as a thumb, Ogata and Kawajiro suddenly heard what seemed to be unusual movement in front of them, and gathered on the highway in front of the current deserted street. There are quite a lot of people in China.

And among the people gathered in front, there were several officials wearing Shirobei Clubhouse.

"What's going on..." Kawajiro murmured like this, and ran forward quickly.

Ogata followed closely behind.

After running a little closer to the crowd in front of him, Kawajiro exclaimed:

"It's Keiemon."

After clearing his throat, Kawajiro shouted to the crowd in front of him:

"Keiemon!"

Ogata followed Kawajiro to an uncle holding a long wooden stick in the crowd.

Ogata recognizes this uncle.

Yesterday, after watching the melon show at the entrance of the sushi restaurant and beating the 4 scumbags who didn't pay after having fun, it was this uncle who led the officials from the other clubs to be late, which caused me to make a series of unpleasant complaints.

Tucao Keemon why they always arrive at the scene after she has finished fighting with others.

"Keiemon! What's the matter with this guy?" After coming to Keiemon's side, Kawajiro hurriedly asked him like this.

"This guy didn't give money after eating and drinking at the tea house." Keiemon quickly replied, "Kawajiro, you get back first. You stand here. When you fight, you may be implicated."

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

"...Hmm. Please."

Kawajiro nodded vigorously and opened his mouth. When he was about to say something--

"That..." Ogata interjected abruptly at this time, "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?" For Ogata's sudden question, Kawajiro was taken aback for a while, and then quickly replied, "Yes, so you wait first, wait for Keiemon to take the culprit, and then let Keiwei The door will test you...Hey! What are you doing?!"

Kawajiro hadn't finished speaking yet, Okinawa walked through the thin encirclement built by Keiemon and the others for the ronin who eats the king's meal, and walked slowly towards the man surrounded by them and covered in dirt. At first glance, you can see that it is the kind of ronin who has eaten the last meal and not the next one.

"Hey!" Keiemon's voice sounded behind Ogata, "What are you doing?"

Ogata turned a deaf ear to Keemon's words that seemed a bit anxious.

After walking slowly to 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 it at Ogata, his face full of vigilance.

"I didn't want to do anything." Ogata said to Ronin in a calm tone, "I am anxious to let this man named Keiemon test my strength, so I can ask you to hurry up and put down the sword and then grab it. Is it? That way everyone can save a lot of time."

"Who would just grab it like this!" Ronin roared, "You guy isn't an official at Shirobei Clubhouse, right?"

"My name is Majima Goro," Ogata said, "I'm a ronin passing by here."

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

Ogata glanced at the Ronin with a meaningful look, and then whispered:

"...Didn't you find out?"

"Huh?" Ogata's inexplicable rhetorical question caused Ronin and the Keiemon and others next to him to be stunned.

"What did you find?" Ronin asked rhetorically.

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

Having said that, Ogata suddenly raised his right hand and leaned his hand towards Dashaten who was on his left waist.

After grasping the hilt, draw the sword out of its sheath.

Ogata did not use Raeche, the sword drawing technique of the "No-Self-Sword Style".

It's just an ordinary drawing knife.

After all, to deal with this level of Ronin, it is not necessary to use Rachel.

Hanguang vented from Oshaten's scabbard, and Ogata pointed at the knife that ran into the hands of the knife, and used Sakahara's sword-style dragon tail.

The cold light swept away horizontally, accurately hitting the Ronin's knife shank, and then directly knocked the Ronin's knife into the air.

This Ronin didn't even see Ogata's sword clearly, it was inevitable that Ogata's sword cut the sword in his hand.

After slashing the ronin's sword into the air, Ogata turned Dashaten and put the blade on the ronin's neck.

【Ding! Defeat the enemy with Sakahara Ichikyuu·Dragon Tail]

[Get 25 points of personal experience, 30 points of experience for swordsmanship "Sakakihara Ichigan"]

[Current personal level: LV32 (28754800)]

【Sakihara One Sword Class: 11 levels (34857000)】

"A person who doesn't even know that he is already within the enemy's best attack range can't kill me."

After Ogata said this sentence calmly, the Ronin finally realized something with hindsight.

He didn’t know whether he was frightened by Ogata’s invisible knife just now, or by the sharp touch that continuously passed down his neck to his brain. In short, his face was slamming. After becoming pale, his feet softened and he slumped on the ground.

Keiemon, who was standing behind Ogata, was stunned for a while, then quickly waved his hand and ordered:

"Quick! Bind this guy!"

Hearing this command from Keiemon, the surrounding officials who were also dumbfounded and dumbfounded finally reacted, rushing forward, and threw the Ronin who was beaten and beaten by Ogata by the sword.

After the officials in the surrounding Shiro Bingbei Club had begun to act, the man finally recovered from shock and fear, and put his hand to the side of the left waist.

But he was too late.

The surrounding officials have successfully rushed to suppress the ronin before pulling out his threat, and tied it into a zongzi with a thick twine.

After the officials captured the ronin, Ogata took back Dashaten from his hand and put him in the scabbard.

The reason why he personally took the trouble to subdue the troubled Ronin is because Ogata does not want to waste too much time on this person.

If Keemon, Kawajiro, and others are allowed to slowly tighten the encirclement net of this Ronin at their own pace, God knows when they will wait.

On the other hand, the reason is that Ogata hates people who don’t give money after eating, drinking, and having fun.

One of Ogata’s previous jobs in the Hirose domain was to deal with people who ate overlord meals in the izakaya opened by Asaki and Afu.

Because of this job, Ogata has unknowingly cultivated such a rogue temperament.

As he walked slowly towards the ronin, Ogata realized that he might not be able to take even one of his tricks.

Ogata's height and arm length were above the average line of adult men in this era.

The length of his Dashatian is also longer than most swordsmen.

Therefore, Ogata's attack range is much wider than ordinary people.

And this Ronin didn't see this at all, standing stupidly on the spot, not even knowing that he had entered the enemy's attack range.

Just because Ronin didn't have this kind of acuity for the attack range, Ogata knew that Ronin was just a man of average strength.

In terms of strength, this Ronin is not as good as some of Ogata's former seniors in the Sakahara Dojo.

After taking Oshaten back into the scabbard, Kawajiro and Keiemon walked quickly in front of Ogata.

"Mashima-kun." Kawajiro exclaimed, "Your swordsmanship is amazing! Where do you learn from?"

"The swordsmanship I use is the Gumu Yidao style." Ogata said the alias of the swordsmanship genre he had thought of earlier.

"Kawajiro." Keiemon on the side asked at this time, "this one is?"

"Oh! This is the Izumo Rani who came to my club this morning and intends to work in my club-Goro Mashima."

"I was taking him outside to look for you just now. I plan to let you discuss with him and see how strong he is."

"As a result, I came across that you were arresting the culprits before I realized it."

"Oh... During this time, Yoshihara's law and order is really getting worse and worse. In the early morning, I met someone who couldn't pay for food and drink."

As soon as Kawajiro finished speaking, Keiemon widened his eyes suddenly and raised his finger to himself.

"Shall I compete with him?"

"Now that we still need to learn from each other and try his swordsmanship?"

"Kawajiro, didn't you see what he did just now?"

"A person with this level of swordsmanship, of course, passed directly! What else to try?!"

...

...

Ogata's shot just now gave him much more time than he had imagined.

Even the discussion with Keiemon was omitted, which was exactly what Ogata wanted.

Following Keiemon's decision, Ogata officially became one of the "temporary workers" at the Shirobei Club.

"Majima-kun, you came in time!" Keiemon patted Ogata's shoulder and said, "If you stay at night, we might have enough people."

"My name is Keiemon, and I am the fan of the Shirobei Club! I am mainly responsible for maintaining the law and order of Yoshihara and catching those who make trouble in Yoshihara."

Keiemon briefly introduced Ogata's future work to Ogata, who has become their "temporary worker".

"During the day, because there are not many people coming to Yoshihara, Yoshihara during the day is still peaceful. Only the official staff of our Shiro Bingbei Club can deal with the thieves who make trouble during the day.

"The trouble is at night."

"At night, there are people everywhere. The dilemma that our Shiro Bingbei Club is now facing is that our official posts are not enough to protect Yoshihara at night, so I posted that paper to recruit those with good skills."

"So those of you who were temporarily recruited by us, you only need to come to Yoshihara at night."

"Then at 4 o'clock in the evening, you can leave Yoshihara when the gate of Yoshihara is closed."

Four o'clock in the evening-converted to the earth's time unit, it is 22 o'clock in the evening.

After listening to Keiemon's introduction, Ogata raised his eyebrows by accident.

This job is much easier than Ogata imagined.

You only need to come to work at night, and then you can leave work until 22 o'clock in the evening.

The total working time is only about 4 hours from dark to 22:00.

"Let me confirm it-the wages for a day are six dollars, right?"

Ogata remembers that when he read the "recruitment advertisement" at the Shiro Bingbei Club last night, the wages for a day were six silver coins.

"That's right." Kawajiro, who was standing next to Keiemon, replied on behalf of Keiemon. "The wages are settled on the same day."

"Your job is really beautiful." Ogata couldn't help but sigh.

It only takes about 4 hours to get a daily salary above the average line-this is indeed a pretty good difference.

"It looks relaxed, but it's actually very tiring." After reminding Ogata in this way, Keiemon said in a serious tone, "Although you only need to come to work at night, I will take you a little bit now. Get familiar with Yoshihara's appearance."

"As the person responsible for maintaining Yoshihara's law and order, if you can't even recognize Yoshihara's path, it would be laughable and generous."

"Yeah." Ogata nodded. "Then I will bother you."

Ogata came to Yoshiwara just to try to see if he could get some valuable information from Gokutaro who came to Yoshiwara every night to have fun.

For this purpose, it is necessary to grasp Yoshihara's layout in advance.

Keiemon smiled as soon as Ogata’s phrase "Then I will bother you."

"Come with me, Mashima-kun."

"I will take you to meet someone."

"That person likes bringing new people the most."

"This kind of job of bringing new people to know Yoshihara, I won't **** it with her. If I **** this job, she will definitely break her mouth in front of me again."

"She should be very free now."

"Let her come and take you around Yoshihara."

...

...

Edo, Yoshihara, residential area, a simple private house.

"Ok……"

Gua Sheng leaned against a wooden post on the edge of the hall wall, bare feet, straightened waist, and firmly pressed her spine against the wooden post behind him. He raised the sword in his right hand and pressed the blade against He scratched his scalp, and then slashed across the wooden pillar behind his head.

After finishing this cut, Gua Sheng immediately jumped forward and couldn't wait to move forward. After pulling the distance from the wooden post, he checked the knife he had just made on the wooden post.

The knife mark made by Gua Sheng perfectly coincides with a slender groove on the wooden pillar.

This long slender ditch is formed by the overlapping of countless sword marks cut at the same position.

Seeing that the sword marks he made just now overlap with this long slender ditch, Gua Sheng's face showed a clear and extremely depressed color.

"Still not growing tall...Why is it like this..."

With a frustrated face, he put away the sword in his hand and put it back into his arms, then raised his hands to the sides of the body, and then made a slight leap upward.

The field of vision in front of him rose quickly, and the long ditch carved on the wooden pillar slid down quickly within Gusheng's field of vision.

Of course-this kind of scene where the long ditch on the wooden pillar was under Gusheng's field of vision only appeared for a moment.

After the white feet of Guasheng fell back to the ground, the long ditch on the wooden pillar returned to a position parallel to Guasheng's scalp.

"Why am I not growing anywhere now..."

Gua Sheng muttered like this, while raising his left and right hands, pressing the left and right sides of his chest respectively, and squeezed towards the middle.

Although it was already working hard, it didn't squeeze the meat in the chest even more.

"Miss Gusheng! Miss Gusheng!"

When Guasheng was distressed by his own development problems, Keiemon's voice suddenly remembered outside the room.

"What's the matter?" Gua Sheng hurriedly put down his hands squeezing meat on his chest, and then shouted to the door not far away.

"There is a newcomer in our club!" Keiemon continued, "I plan to let you take him around Yoshihara! Get familiar with Yoshihara!"

Hearing the word "newcomer", Gua Sheng's eyes lit up.

He hurriedly hopped to the dirt of the room, put on a pair of straw sandals at random, and opened the door.

Standing behind the gate, there are two familiar men.

"Huh? Are you a newcomer?" Guasheng looked at Ogata who was standing behind Keiemon with a look of surprise.

And Ogata also looked directly at the melon in front of him with surprise.

Gua Sheng is wearing a beige kimono, and is very ordinary at home.

Ogata didn't expect that the person in front of Keiwei's gate who liked to bring new people turned out to be melon.

"Huh? Miss Guasheng, do you know Majima-kun?"

"Hmm." Guasheng nodded, "Just met yesterday."

"It's good if you know each other!" Keiemon said, "Ms. Guasheng, Majima-kun will leave it to you! You can take Majima-kun around today!"

...

...

After throwing Ogata to Guasheng, Keiemon patted his **** and walked away.

After Keiemon left, Ogata, who was still standing in front of her room, said:

"Mashima-kun, you actually came to work at our Shiro Bingbei Club..."

"I may not do it for long." Ogata shrugged and said in a half-joking tone. "I may have worked for a few days and found that it was too tiring, so I stopped doing it."

"If you are sure you want to come to our club to work, then work harder for a while. If you leave for a few days, we will have to recruit new people again." After spitting out Ogata angrily, Gusheng Move one side of your body to leave a space that you can freely enter and exit at the gate, "Anyway-come in first."

"Then... Excuse me."

After releasing Da Shiten from his waist and passing it to his right hand, Ogata stepped slowly into the dirt in the room.

After taking off his straw sandals and following Guasheng to the hall of her house, Guasheng said to Ogata:

"You sit down here, I'll make tea."

After leaving this sentence, Gua Sheng quickly left the hall.

After Guasheng left, Ogata sat obediently on the edge of the table in the hall, and then looked at everything around him with curious eyes.

Guasheng's room is full of "seriousness" and "cleanness" everywhere.

The appearance of this hall is quite in line with the temperament of Gusheng.

However, this hall is too clean to some extent.

There is almost no furniture or extras.

Just as Ogata scanned everything around him with curious gaze, his gaze suddenly swept something... strange on a certain wall of the hall.

That is a piece of paper pasted on the wall.

To be precise, it is a portrait posted on the wall.

Looking at the portrait pasted on one wall of the hall, Ogata's eyes widened directly, and then quickly stood up and leaned closer to look at the portrait.

The reason Ogata has such a big reaction... mainly because this portrait is so familiar to Ogata...

"Sorry, I forgot that there is no tea in my house. Would you mind drinking water?"

Guasheng returned to the hall with two glasses of water.

After Guasheng returned, Ogata immediately asked Guasheng anxiously while pointing his finger at the painting on the wall in front of him:

"Miss Gusheng, is this...?"

"Huh? Don't you even know this person?"

Guasheng placed the two cups of water on the table in the hall, then straightened up, straightened his chest, and said to Guasheng every word:

"This is Ogata Ishigami who has the resounding name of'Sura'!"

"Sura?" Ogata silently repeated the words that Guasheng had just said~www.wuxiahere.com~ Isn't Ogata Ishizai the name of the executioner Ichitosai, and the man Zhan Ishi? "

"That's the name it was a long time ago." Guasheng waved his hand. "According to those who survived Ogata's siege in Nijo Castle, Ogata's stance was fighting on the Nijo Castle Tenshu Tower. , Like an Asura with three heads and six arms."

"So after Ogata Ishige broke through Nijo Castle in Kyoto, everyone gave Ogata Ishige this new title."

"It's just that the popularity of this title is not as wide as the two titles of'Hanman Idosesai' and'Ren Zhan Yishi', so you didn't know that Ogata's new title is normal."

After listening to Guasheng's explanation, Ogata twisted his stiff neck and recast his gaze on the portrait of himself on the wall.

The emotions in the eyes are very complicated...

——Why did I unknowingly have a new title...

Let me share with you the inspiration of Gua Shengxiu's character image.

[This is the source of inspiration for Gua Shengxiu's character image, the girl in a certain video]→→

One day when I was just writing the sixth volume, I was wandering at station B, and accidentally turned to a video of a small girl who was swinging a knife and cutting the pile, that is, the girl in the picture above. It’s a pity to watch it. Not to face up.

With a neat ponytail, this girl is wearing a large kimono and hakama, she feels small and not as long as her sword-I think it's so cute.

After watching this video, I decided on the character image of Gua Shengxiu-a lovely girl with a height of 1.43 meters.

When you don’t know how to replenish your beautiful appearance, just take a look at the picture I posted above.
