I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

　　 A new leader appeared yesterday—[L5? ? 】

　　 Thanks to the new leader [L5? ? 】Reward! thank you boss!

　　The leader team has gradually grown up. It is gratifying and gratifying.

　　 When a new leader appears, I have to change it and write a chapter with 1W2000 characters.

　　 But because the book friend of the day before yesterday [Zhan Yue Cup Ying] also rewarded me with a leader, there was no time in the first two days, so I owed him even more.

　　 So today’s chapter is a supplement to [Zhanyue Cup Shadow].

　　 to the new leader [L5? ? 】Add more changes, just save it for later...

　　*******

　　*******

　　 I remembered that their bandits had been wiped out by the warriors who had been invited—the feelings of the villagers in this village, to describe them as ecstatic, seemed a bit unqualified.

　　 If it hadn’t been for the food that Ogata and others had brought back from the bandit, some villagers couldn’t even believe that what Ogata and others had said was true.

　　 What made the villagers more happy was that Ogata and the others gave them the food they had brought back from the bandits.

　　 Their village was poor and white, and the food stored in the village was just enough for the whole village to eat.

　　 The food delivered by Ogata and others is really a charcoal for the villagers in this village.

　　 In order to thank Ogata and others for their kindness, the villagers expressed that they would prepare an extremely rich lunch to entertain Ogata and the others.

　　 But Ogata declined it.

　　 Now that the bandits are gone, and both experience points and money are harvested, Ogata has no reason to stay in the village anymore.

　　 Ogata just wants to go back to Kinnocho quickly, and then go back to the regular days of spending time at Hosei Sword Museum every day, waiting for the merchant ship from Gen Tachibana to sail to Ezo land in January of the following year.

　　 The last time they traveled from Kinno Town to this village, it took them almost a day—departing in the morning and arriving in the village in the evening.

　　 Even if there are no Tsuchiya and the two villagers slowing down when returning to Kinno-cho this time, it will take at least half a day to return to Kinno-cho.

　　 It was almost 9 o'clock in the morning when I returned to the village. If I stayed for lunch, it would be too late to return to Kinno Town before dark.

　　 Therefore, no matter what the villagers and Huosaka and others say, Ogata insisted on leaving before lunch.

　　 But Ogata and Amachi didn't plan to leave immediately.

　　 just returned to the village from the bandit base, they walked the mountain road for nearly three hours.

　　Mountain roads are much harder to walk than that flat avenue.

　　 And it's still the kind of mountain road covered by heavy snow, it's even more difficult to walk.

　　 It is nothing to Ogata to walk the mountain road covered with heavy snow for more than 3 hours.

　　 But for Amachi now, it's not so easy.

　　 If it's Acho in a normal state, it is not difficult for her to walk the mountain road covered by heavy snow for more than 3 hours.

　　 But last night, Amachi first sneaked into the bandit base with Ogata, and assassinated the bandits.

After 　　, they inspected the bandits' bases together, and together they found and buried the corpses of the bandits who had died under the assassination of her and Ogata one by one.

　　 Physical strength is not the strong point of Amachi who is a daughter.

　　 Although I have slept for a few hours, this time is not enough for Ah Ding to regain his strength.

　　 Therefore, after walking the mountain road from the bandit base to the village in a "non-full heyday" state, Ah Ding felt a little tired.

　　 Therefore, Ogata intends to rest in this village for a while, let Amachi's feet slow down a bit, and then leave.

　　...

　　...

　　 In the house provided by the villagers to Ogata and Amachi—

"what…"

　　 Amachi lay on the floor of the house in a "big" shape without any image.

　　 "It's much easier than imagined..."

　　 Because lying on the floor is very comfortable, Amachi closed his eyes unconsciously because of the comfort.

　　 "I was worried that I would fight with those bandits for a long time..."

　　 "Unexpectedly, the bandit would be solved so quickly."

　　 "I arrived in this village the evening before, and I can go back today."

　　 Solved the bandit so quickly—this was not only beyond Amachi's expectations, but also beyond Ogata's expectations.

　　 Ogata was ready to fight a protracted battle.

　　 But I didn't expect it-luck is good.

　　 came to the village the next day, he successfully raised the bandits.

　　 At the same time, there was a surprise. They got 31 taels from the bandits, which made Ogata and Amachi more financially strong now.

　　 When Ogata learned that his head was worth 500 taels from the reward sheet provided by Hosaka the night before, he also thought that if he ran out of money in the future, he could try to go to the government's wool.

　　 First pretend to be arrested, and then ask Amachi to receive a 500 tael bounty, and then Ogata will try to escape from prison.

　　 It seems that for a long time in the future, Ogata’s plan of "Government Wool" will be useless.

　　 When he left the domain at the end of last year, Ogata hasn't spent the large sum of money that the veteran Kuranaga gave him.

　　The money given by the old Kuranaga, the money obtained in the "Prime Test Combination", and the money obtained from the bandit this time-these three sums of money are added together, so that Ogata and Amachi are now completely rich men.

With their current financial resources, they are completely enough to buy a small house, and then live a wasteful life without work for at least 10 years—of course, the premise is that they only use the money to buy some necessities, and Not buying all kinds of messy luxury goods.

　　 After lying on his back on the ground in the shape of "大" in A Ding, Okinawa took off Da Shi Tian on his left waist, hugged him, and sat cross-legged beside A Ding.

　　 "Do you need me to give you a massage?"

　　 It’s not uncommon for Ogata to give Amachi a massage.

　　 Earlier on the boat from Owari to Edo, Ogata massaged Amachi, who was seasick, so that she could feel better under the ravages of wind and waves.

　　 After leaving Edo and heading north to Ezo Land, Ogata also frequently massaged Amachi, who was not physically strong.

　　As soon as Ogata finished speaking, Amachi said immediately:

　　 "No need. I just need to lie down like this."

　　 After that, Amachi opened his eyes that had been closed and looked at Ogata beside him.

　　 "A Yi, I've always wanted to say it-I always thought you were weird."

　　 "Huh? Why am I strange?"

　　 "A lot of samurai don't say they massage their wives, and they don't even allow their wives to walk side by side with them."

　　 "But you don't seem to have such a notion that men are superior to women."

　　 "A samurai like you always feels rarer than a cat who likes to swim."

　　 Hearing what Amachi said, Ogata couldn't help but laugh.

　　 Even in Japan in the Edo period, women were still free.

　　Except for those princesses and samurai families with strict house rules, the daughters of common people can walk freely on the street, can do many kinds of jobs, and there is no such mad habit of foot binding.

　　 However, the social atmosphere is still inferior to men, and women's status is far inferior to men.

　　 The sentence that Acho said just now is also true. Many samurai do not even allow their wives to walk side by side with them, nor can they walk in front of him, but can only walk three steps behind them.

　　 Therefore, there is a common saying in the society: "Wife must be separated from her husband by three steps."

　　 personally massaged his wife—for these "traditional samurai", it is simply unimaginable.

　　 As a traverser, Ogata naturally does not have such a mess of thoughts of respect and inferiority.

　　 will not feel that it would be shameful and detrimental to the image of a man to massage his wife.

　　 is not only not ashamed, but also proud of it.

　　 Many people don’t even have a wife who can massage her.

　　 So just after Ah Ding's voice, Okina said in a relaxed tone:

　　 "This is probably related to my family education. My parents have always taught me: Don't have the idea of ​​male superiority and female inferiority."

　　 Ogata’s words are not actually lying.

　　 His parents in his previous life did educate him-there must be no "discrimination" concept.

　　 Gender discrimination or racial discrimination is undesirable.

　　 Ah Ding couldn't help feeling sighed.

　　 expresses the special feelings of Ogata and Ogata's parents.

　　 In this kind of environment where most people are men inferior to women, they have such a special concept.

　　As Ogata’s wife, Amachi is also happy to see that her husband is a person with such a special idea, and he does not use all kinds of messy rules to restrain her.

　　 After a brief chat with Ogata, Amachi closed his eyes again, enjoying the feeling of being able to lie on the ground like muddy mud.

　　Acho really likes the feeling of lying on the ground in a "big" shape.

　　 She is in a pretty good mood now.

　　 She didn't really support Ogata to find trouble, and rushed to this small village where birds don't **** to help these farmers.

　　 It's not because Ah Ding is cruel and unwilling to lend a helping hand to people in trouble.

　　 She was simply worried about Ogata.

　　 A few months ago, Owari "be honest" with Ogata, and after confirming the relationship between the husband and wife, Amachi became much more timid.

　　Amachi hopes that Ogata will not do anything that might bring danger to himself.

　　 Although she knows that Ogata is very strong, even a bandit group with hundreds of people can be wiped out by Ogata.

　　 But no matter how strong it is, there will always be risks in fighting against people.

　　 Therefore, Amachi, who does not hope that Ogata will encounter any accidents and is injured, has not supported Ogata's help to the farmers in this village.

　　 Now that the bandits are extinct, the big rock in Ah Ding's heart is now always on the ground.

　　 Both she and Ogata are in peace, and they have received a lot of money by accident.

　　 Ogata gave the money to Amachi for safekeeping.

　　 Now the cloth bag with 31 taels of gold is lying quietly in Ah Ding's arms.

　　Acho, who is lying on his back, can clearly feel the weight of this big bag of money.

　　 After confirming the relationship with Ogata, in addition to becoming timid, Amachi, like Ogata, began to care about money.

　　 Acho unconsciously raised his hand and patted the small purse in his arms.

　　 Feeling this very heavy small purse in his arms, Amachi suddenly raised his eyebrows as if thinking of something, then opened his eyes again and looked at Ogata beside him.

　　 "A Yi, the reason why you decided to help these farmers was to get money from the bandits, right?"

　　 This is what Ah Ting suddenly thought of just now.

　　 Ogata had a similar record before.

　　 Participated in the "Privacy Examination" for money.

　　Because he had a similar history before, Amachi felt that “for the sake of money, he decided to go to the bandit to get the money and take a hand to help the poor farmers.” Ogata could really do something like this.

　　 Hearing the question raised by Amachi, Ogata was taken aback for a moment.

　　 then smiled helplessly, and said:

　　 "You think too much."

　　 "I didn't expect to take money from the bandit at first."

　　 "It's a complete surprise for me to get this money now."

　　 "Then why did you decide to help these farmers?" Ah Ding wondered, "Is it true that I have not moved my muscles and bones for a long time, so do you plan to move your muscles and bones?"

　　 "Why did you decide to help these farmers..."

After 　　 whispered, Ogata smiled wryly.

　　 Then he held Da Shitian in his arms tighter.

"...At the time, when I saw the two farmers begging us to help them in the Baosheng Sword Museum, I suddenly remembered returning to the sword museum and found that the master and the brothers were all killed by Songping Yuannai. That night."

　　 Ogata's tone is very calm.

　　 is like talking about something that has nothing to do with me.

　　 At the side of Amachi, after hearing the words of Ogata just now, he was stunned, and then showed a complicated expression.

　　 "When I saw the look of the masters and the brothers who are dead, I thought-if... when they were killed, someone would show up, and then it would be nice to save them."

　　 "If you don't extend a helping hand to the farmers in this village, even if they are not killed by the bandits, there may be many people who will not survive this winter because the money and food are washed out, which is tantamount to being indirectly killed by these bandits."

　　 "My relatives and friends were brutally murdered for no reason, I really feel the same."

　　 "This kind of pain, I think the less people experience it, the better."

　　 "That's why the ghosts are so messy, I decided to do my best to help these farmers who happened to be right in front of me and desperately need help from others."

　　 Ogata’s tone was calm from beginning to end.

　　 is obviously talking about his unbearable past, but his face is plain.

　　 Looking back at Ah Ding—her expression has been very complicated since just now.

　　 Just halfway through what Ogata said, Amachi had already sat up slowly.

After 　　 Ogata’s voice fell completely, Amachi’s face was extremely rich, and it was difficult to distinguish the complex expressions of emotions.

　　 She opened her lips, as if she wanted to say something to Ogata.

　　 But after opening his lips, I don't know what to say in this situation.

　　 Finally, after hesitating and thinking for a moment, Amachi opened his arms and embraced Ogata like a mother bird protecting her young chick.

　　 Because Amachi was sitting on the left side of Ogata, when Amachi spread his arms around Ogata, Ogata's left arm immediately felt a gentle, soft, and elastic touch.

　　 Amachi’s sudden hug made a bit of surprise appear on Ogata’s face.

"what's happenin?"

　　 "When I was in a bad mood, my father would hold me like this."

　　 While talking, Amachi gently stroked Ogata with his right hand. This gentle movement seemed to help a baby fall asleep.

　　 Ogata couldn't help but smile at Amachi's move.

　　 Amachi didn’t know what to say to comfort him, and simply used his father’s previous method of comforting him to comfort him, which made Ogata feel a little funny and moved at the same time.

　　 "There is no need to comfort me. I am not sad."

　　 recalled and retelled the past that was full of sorrow and blood, and it did not make Ogata feel sad or sad.

　　, after all, happened more than a year ago.

　　 just recalls that memory, and it doesn't make Ogata feel any discomfort anymore.

Although Ogata said "I don't need to comfort him", Amachi didn't seem to mean to let Ogata go-perhaps he mistakenly thought that Ogata who said "I didn't feel sad" was lying to fool her. Right.

　　Since Amachi didn't let him go, Ogata didn't say anything anymore. After all, he was happy to be held by Amachi.

　　 The body is embraced, and the soft touch makes the body seem to be melted away.

　　 In Amachi's arms, Ogata really felt a little at ease.

　　 Just as Ogata quietly enjoyed the feeling of boating on the calm lake at night, a young male voice suddenly came from outside the house:

　　 "Excuse me! Excuse me, is Mashima-kun here?"

　　 This is the voice of Mizuno.

　　 There is obvious tension in the voice

　　 wondering why Mizuno suddenly came to his Ogata, and said loudly:

"I'm here."

　　 "Can I enter, please?"

　　 Ogata and Amachi exchanged glances.

　　 Amachi nodded, and then let go of Ogata in his arms.

"come in."

　　 "Thank you very much!"

　　 Mizuno pushed open the old wooden door and appeared in Ogata's field of vision.

　　 Ogata: "Is there something?"

　　 "Mashima-sama! I want to ask you something!"

　　 looked directly at Ogata’s Mizuno, his eyes were full of heat.

　　 "Ask?" Ogata raised his eyebrows, then raised his hand to grab his hair, "What are you going to ask? Don't ask me something that is difficult to answer."

　　 "After all, after a while, I will leave with my wife."

　　 "Mashima-sama!"

　　 Mizuno said in a loud voice.

　　 "I admire your swordsmanship!"

　　 "I want to ask you how to improve swordsmanship!"

　　 The fiery color in his eyes became more intense.

　　 "Mashima-sama, how do you usually practice swordsmanship?"

　　 Mizuno knew that Ogata and Amachi were leaving in a while.

　　 So he summoned his courage, and before Ogata and Amachi had left, he secretly came to Ogata and asked Ogata for advice.

　　 Ogata is a rare swordsman.

　　 Mizuno, who also pursues swordsmanship, does not want to miss this opportunity to ask the swordsman for advice.

　　 Hearing this question from Mizuno, Ogata froze directly.

　　 Ogata was not surprised that Mizuno came to ask him about the practice of swordsmanship.

　　 He had discovered before that Mizuno seemed to admire him very much and admired his swordsmanship.

　　 Mizuno’s problem directly caused Ogata’s troubles...

　　How to practice swordsmanship?

　　 It is impossible for Ogata to tell him directly—I only rely on the system to gain the current strength...

　　 scratched his hair and organized his words, Ogata slowly said:

　　 "There is no shortcut to the practice of swordsmanship."

　　 "You must be down-to-earth, not too high."

　　 "If there is any way to quickly improve swordsmanship, it should be more practical."

　　 "While swinging a sword in the air 10,000 times in the dojo, maybe not a hearty actual combat brings great progress."

　　 "I only achieved my current state by relying on one actual battle after another."

　　 After speaking as decent as he could, Ogata couldn't help but admire himself.

　　 Because what he said just now is completely truthful, without any falsehood.

　　 It was indeed through battle after battle that he became the "Hanman Yidaozai" now known all over the world.

　　 "Are you in actual combat..." Mizuno muttered, his face wandering thoughtfully.

　　 Just then, there was another voice outside the house:

　　 "Mashima-sama! Are you there?"

　　 This time, it was the voice of the old village chief.

　　 "I'm here." Ogata responded immediately.

　　 "May I enter? I have something to give you."

　　 "Give me something? Please come in."

　　 After obtaining Ogata's permission to enter, the old village chief, who was very rickety, slowly appeared in front of Ogata with the support of several villagers.

　　 Seeing that Mizuno and Acho were also there, the old village chief hurriedly greeted them.

　　 "Mashima-sama, here is this for you."

　　 The old village chief handed two small kits that were only slightly wider than an adult's thumb to Ogata.

　　 "This is?" Ogata took the little kit and kneaded it a bit, but it was empty.

　　 is just a very ordinary little red kit with nothing in it.

　　 "This is our homemade amulet."

　　 The old village chief said.

　　 "We really appreciate your help."

　　 "Without you, we really don't know what to do."

　　 "Since you and Lingzheng are unwilling to stay for lunch, at least please accept our gift of thanks."

　　 "Our village is poor and white. I can't give anything worth mentioning."

　　 "We can only give you and Lingzheng a self-made amulet, please understand."

　　 "You are really interested." Ogata smiled and played with the two little tips in his hands.

　　 "Okay, we will accept your thanks and kindness." Ogata handed one of the small kits to Amachi beside him, "Thank you for your amulet."

　　 Others specially come to give thanks. Anyway, it's not an extremely valuable thing. If you don't accept it, it will appear rude instead.

　　 For Ogata’s gratitude, the old village head hurriedly said, "Don't dare to be".

　　 After a few greetings with Ogata, the old village chief led the villagers who were supporting him and left.

　　 After watching the old village chief and others leave, Mizuno murmured:

　　 "The villagers are very happy..."

　　 "Of course," Ogata said, "After all, the bandits who are thinking about their money and food are gone."

　　 Hearing Ogata's words, Mizuno suddenly gave a wry smile.

　　 "...Mashima-sama, do you think our act of reaching out to them is meaningful?"

　　 "Huh?" Ogata raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

　　 Mizuno tightened his lips.

　　 After being silent for a while, he opened his lips and slowly said:

　　 "Mashima-sama, I seem to have never told you about my past..."

　　 "I came from a samurai family in Edo."

　　 Mizuno scooped up the memories in his mind little by little.

　　 "Like many people, I hope to become famous by swordsmanship, so I decided to leave Edo 2 years ago and practice martial arts."

　　 "Now that I think about it carefully, I really don't know if I should judge it as bold and fearless, or if I should judge it as young and ignorant."

　　 "Not long after I left Edo, I ran into Master Huosaka."

　　 "Because I admire the master's swordsmanship and his heroic character. I worshipped him as a teacher and started to practice with him everywhere."

　　 "Not long after I walked together with the master, something happened...that left me cherishing my heart."

　　 Speaking of this, a faint look of loneliness appeared on Mizuno's face.

　　 "Not long after walking with the master, the master and I passed by a village by chance."

　　 "That village suffered exactly the same thing as this village—it was missed by a group of bandits."

　　 "But the situation is slightly different."

　　 "The villagers in that village failed to find out in time that they had been missed by the bandit, so they were almost unprepared and let the bandit into the village."

　　 "Money, food, and young women were all snatched by bandits."

　　 "The villagers in that village wanted to take their money, food, and women back. So they chose to report to the official."

　　 "The government in that place is still able to do things. As soon as the villagers took office, the government immediately organized the manpower and prepared to encircle the bandits."

　　 "And my master and I happened to pass by that village just before the officials were preparing to march to encircle and suppress the bandits."

　　 "The master is a kind of very enthusiastic person. Seeing that the villagers in this village are in trouble, he decided to help the officials and slay the bandits together with them."

　　 "The government is also happy to see a ronin drawing a knife to help, so I agreed to let my master and I join the siege of the bandits."

　　 "The encirclement and suppression of the bandits went smoothly."

　　 "With the advantage of numbers and weapons, the bandit was wiped out. The money, food, and women stolen from the villagers were all taken back."

　　 "That was the first time I participated in a real battle with real swords and guns."

　　 "It was also the first time I killed someone... Although it was only when chasing a bandit that had no intention of fighting, I managed to kill a bandit who had lost his weapon."

　　 "The bandits are gone, the villagers have all their money, food and women taken back, and then the villagers live and work again—it should have ended in such a happy ending..."

　　 "After helping the government to wipe out the bandits, the master and I left the village and continued to wander around and practice martial arts."

　　 "One year later, my master and I revisited the village because of some things."

　　 "I found that the village was gone."

　　 "Just ask someone to find out-the villagers in that village were killed by another band of bandits a few months ago..."

　　 "The bandit is not as'gentle' as the bandit before. While stealing money, food, and women, it killed all the men and women in the village who were not eye-catching."

　　 "Even... the child never let go..."

　　 From just now, Mizuno's head was buried lower and lower.

　　 At this moment, Mizuno's head was so low that his chin was almost touching his chest.

　　 "I managed to save the villagers, but in the end the villagers died in the hands of other bandits..."

　　 "Since I encountered this incident, I have been thinking: Is it meaningful for me and my master to help these poor people..."

　　 "This behavior of my master and I extending a helping hand to others...It feels like it's just treating the symptoms and not the root cause. It seems to be repeating a very meaningless thing..."

　　 "The people who helped this village today, after a few months, this village might be targeted by another band of bandits..."

　　 Ogata has been listening silently by the side.

　　 Hearing this, Ogata understood what Mizuno was worried about.

　　 After Mizuno's voice fell, Okina asked Mizuno in a calm tone:

　　 "...Mizuno, you just said that you admire my swordsmanship, right?"

　　 "Huh? Hmm, yes." Although Ogata didn't know why Ogata suddenly asked this question, Mizuno nodded quickly.

　　 "How strong do you think my swordsmanship is?" Ogata asked next.

　　 "Huh?" Mizuno hesitated, who was embarrassed by this question. He hesitated for a long time, and finally said softly, "My swordsmanship is average, so I don't know how to describe your swordsmanship."

　　 "In that case, I will show you how strong my swordsmanship is."

　　 Ogata showed a meaningful smile, stood up slowly, and then pulled Oshaten from his sheath.

　　 "Mizuno, do you think people can split the sky in half?"

　　 "Huh?" Mizuno's eyes widened and his face was full of confusion.

At the side of 　　, Amachi also showed an expression similar to that of Mizuno, with a pair of beautiful eyes staring at the boss, looking at Ogata in surprise.

　　 "Mashima-sama, how can people split the sky?"

　　 "Then you can look forward to it."

　　 After that, Ogata walked out of the house quickly.

　　 After walking outside, Ogata raised his upper body and looked at the clear sky above his head. At the same time, he clenched Dashaten in his hands with both hands, and slowly raised Dashaten in his hands above his head.

　　 This posture seems to really cut the sky in half.

　　 Ogata’s serious and serious appearance made both Mizuno and Amachi have the same thoughts:

　　-Split the sky? how could it be possible?

　　 Mingming thought it was impossible, but the two of them still stared at Ogata uncontrollably, and their breathing slowed down unconsciously.

　　 Ogata didn't confront the sky above his head for too long.

　　 After accumulating enough energy, Xu Jian aimed at the sky above his head and slammed Da Shi Tian in his hand!

　　 The wind pressure caused by the swing of the blade pierced straight into the clear sky!

　　 Then—

　　 Nothing happened.

　　 The sky has not been split, and the few white clouds in the field of vision are still floating lazily there.

　　 "Mizuno, can you see it?"

　　 Ogata shrugged, and pulled Oshaten back into the scabbard.

　　 "You were right just now, how can people split the sky."

　　 "The sky is tens of thousands of miles wide, and the sword is only three feet long. Even the swordsman or sword master who has practiced swordsmanship to the highest level can only cut things within 3 feet, let alone split the sky."

　　 "We are just ordinary people who can do swordsmanship, not gods."

　　 Ogata went back to the house, and sat back where he was just sitting.

　　 "We can't predict everything, nor can we do everything. All we can do is to slay the wicked people who happen to appear in front of us."

　　 "To help people, do what an ordinary person who knows how to do swordsmanship can do. Why do you think about so many messy things?"

　　 "If you can send a ray of light, you can send a ray of light. Even if the light is like a firefly, it can bring some light to the darkness. There is no need to wait for the torch to illuminate the darkness."

　　 Ogata moved out the words he had used to enlighten melon again.

　　 Even though he said this sentence, it was Ogata's "reconstruction" from a great writer he admired in his previous life.

　　 As soon as Ogata's voice fell, the astonishment and surprise on Mizuno's face appeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

　　 "If you can make a ray of light, you can make a ray of light..." Mizuno chewed on what Ogata had just said.

　　 showed a thoughtful expression, it should be thinking and recalling what Ogata said just now.

　　 At this moment, Huosaka’s loud voice suddenly sounded outside the house:

　　 "Mizuno! Mizuno! Where did you go?!"

　　 Hearing Hoosaka's shout after shout, Mizuno was stunned.

　　 "Sorry, Majima-sama." Mizuno smiled bitterly, "My master seems to be looking for me, so I will be out of company first."

　　 "Let me take the liberty to ask-Majima-sama, when will you and Remasa leave here?"

　　 Ogata turned his head to cast an inquiring look at Amachi.

　　 "I can rest for two more incense sticks." Acho stretched out two fingers.

　　 "Then we will leave after 2 kaika." Ogata turned to Mizuno and replied.

　　 "Second scented incense... It seems that it is too late to ask you for advice..." The bitter color on Mizuno's face became heavier.

　　 After finishing the expressions on his face, Mizuno stood at attention, and then bowed respectfully to Ogata.

　　 "Mashima-sama, thank you very much for your advice."

　　 "Whether it is the suggestion you just mentioned to practice swordsmanship, or the enlightenment you just gave me, I have benefited a lot."

　　 "I'm just swearing casually," Ogata said modestly. ,

　　 After thanking Ogata, Mizuno quickly walked away from the sight of Ogata and Amachi.

　　 After Mizuno left, Amachi couldn’t wait to say to Ogata:

　　 "As expected, he is the one who can get the first name in the essay test of "The Imperial Examination"."

　　 "It means to have culture."

　　 "'The sky is thousands of miles wide, and the sword is only three feet long'... This sentence is great."

　　 Ogata just wanted to explain this sentence to Acho aloud, and his act of hacking the sky with a sword just now was not his original.

　　 He just copied over what Yuan did to him and what he said to him a few months ago...

　　 But after seeing Amachi looking at him with admiration, with countless small stars shining in his eyes, Ogata silently suppressed the words of explanation.

　　 "Nothing, just a casual thought."

　　 Ogata tried his best to put on a gentle smile with a masterful demeanor.

　　—Yuan Da, I’m sorry...

　　 Ogata decided to be shameless.

　　...

　　...

　　 Amachi just told Ogata that she would take another 2 joss breaks.

　　 And Ah Ting did not talk nonsense. After the two sticks of incense, Ah Ting said that she had enough rest.

　　 So Ogata and Amachi took their luggage and prepared to leave here.

　　 At the time of parting, Huosaka and others and the villagers of this village came to see Ogata and Amachi.

　　 The villagers in this village are also very interesting. The village chief personally led the villagers to bid farewell to Ogata and Amachi—but I still haven't seen a few young girls.

　　 Ogata guessed: Most of these villagers should be eager for them to leave.

　　 After all, now that the bandits who are worried about them are gone, Ogata and the others don't need to stay in this village anymore.

　　 It’s a bit ugly: Ogata and the others are useless to the villagers.

　　 So seeing Ogata leave so happily, many villagers in this village should feel very happy.

　　 But Ogata didn't care about it either.

　　As a traveler, Ogata has not been influenced by the so-called Bushido thought of this era, so he does not have the kind of thought that thinks samurai is the first class of high peasants and dismisses peasants.

　　He can understand the respect and fear of the peasants towards the samurai.

　　 Huosaka and the others have retained Ogata, so that Ogata doesn’t need to go in such a hurry—especially Mizuno. He hopes that Ogata can’t go in such a rush, the strongest proposition.

　　 He probably wants to ask Ogata more about swordsmanship.

　　 But Ogata, who had come here for the purpose of coming here, didn't want to stay here anymore, so he declined Hoosaka and the others one by one.

After 　　 and Huosaka and others bid farewell to the villagers, Ogata and the others set off on the way back to Kinnocho.

　　...

　　...

　　 The weather today is not bad.

　　 There is no snow, and there are no dark clouds in the sky that make people look at it unpleasant.

　　 Today's luck is also very good.

　　 On the way, I didn't encounter the kind of "road tyrants" who blocked the road and robbed.

　　 Ogata and Amachi walked forward at a constant speed after stepping on the layers of white snow accumulated on the ground in a relaxed mood.

　　 When they went to the village before, they set off early in the morning and arrived in the evening—the reason why they took so much time was mainly because the soil hut and the two peasants who led the way were not physically strong, and took many breaks in the middle.

　　 Now there is no "drag oil bottle", Ogata and Amachi only took a break during lunch halfway through.

　　 When the sunset glow appeared in the sky, Kinnocho, which had been gone for nearly two days, finally reappeared in the sight of Ogata and Acho.

　　Because the hotel where I stayed was fairly comfortable, Ogata found the hotel again and opened a new room.

　　 Returning to Kinno Town, Ogata wanted to say hello to the people of Jiro Nishino and Hosei Sword Museum.

　　 But seeing the time seemed to be too late, so I had to give up, planning to wait until tomorrow morning to visit them one by one and inform them that he is back.

After spending the fierce first half of the night and the quiet night of the second half of the night in the bed of the hotel and Acho, at about 7 o'clock in the morning, I was able to wake up, put on my clothes, and put on my dad and comfort. To the hotel.

　　Ogata’s first stop was the rehearsal venue at Takashimaya.

　　 Pushing open the door of the rehearsal venue of Treasure Island House, Xu convenient saw the people in Treasure Island House who had been rehearsing "Ichitosai" early in the morning, and Jiro Nishino who was already watching them rehearse.

　　 Seeing Ogata who suddenly appeared, Jiro Nishino exclaimed:

　　 "Mashima-sama! Are you back?"

　　 "Well, I came back last night." Ogata walked slowly to Jiro Nishino's side.

　　 "How? When I arrived in a nearby town, did you encounter any interesting things?"

　　 Ogata was easy to explain before, so he didn't tell Jiro Nishino clearly that the reason he left Kinnocho was to fight the bandits, and only said that he was going to a nearby town for sightseeing and sightseeing.

　　 "Nothing interesting happened." Ogata shrugged, "Because nothing interesting happened, so I came back early."

"Majima-sama, I don't know if you know it." Jiro Nishino lowered his voice, posing as if he was about to tell some secret, "The two days since you left Kinno-cho, something big happened here in Kinno-cho. It."

　　 "What's the matter?" Ogata frowned, "What happened?"

　　 "Well, what I have to say... it's actually not a big deal." Jiro Nishino spread his hands and shrugged, "Yesterday afternoon, there was an army stationed near our Kinno Town."

　　 "Army?" Ogata's pupils shrank slightly.

　　 "Yeah." Jiro Nishino nodded, "It is said that the barracks of this army are now located one mile southwest of Kinno Town."

　　 One mile in the Edo period is almost equal to 4 kilometers in modern times.

　　 "Some bold, I ran to look at the banner of this army yesterday, wanting to see if this is the army of the shogunate or the army of which feudal country."

　　 "Then...Majima-sama, guess where the army is."

　　 Nishino Jiro sold it off.

　　 "Um..." Ogata pondered for a moment, and then casually said, "Is it the army of the shogunate?"

　　 Nishino Jiro shook his head.

　　 "Not the army of the shogunate."

　　 "Those who ran to look at the military flag yesterday saw the ‘bamboo bird pattern’. They belonged to the Sendai clan’s army."

　　 "Sendai Clan?" Ogata's brow furrowed even tighter.

　　 The name of the Sendai clan is considered to be a well-known existence in the whole country.

　　 The Date clan who ruled the Sendai clan was one of the princes who possessed the mighty power to contend for the world in the troubled times of the Warring States two hundred years ago.

　　 Date Clan lost to Tokugawa Clan and finally surrendered to Tokugawa Clan. Because of the Date clan's knowledge of current affairs, after the Tokugawa clan established the Edo Shogunate, he was named the "Sendai Clan" and governed the vast land of the Ou region.

　　 Judging from the paper data, the Sendai clan is undoubtedly the strongest clan nation in the Ou region.

　　 Rich mineral resources, proximity to the ocean, excellent ports and pastures, the Sendai clan's mining, animal husbandry, smelting, fishery and other industries are extremely developed.

　　Because of the large amount of fertile land, the total output of rice produced by the Sendai domain in a year is as high as 620,000 shi for agriculture alone. It is a Xiongfan with a stone height of more than 620,000 stone.

　　 Adding to the income from industries such as mining and animal husbandry, the financial scale of the Sendai clan has reached an extremely terrifying level.

　　In terms of financial power, the whole country can surpass the Sendai clan, or the feudal kingdoms that are indistinguishable from the Sendai clan, probably not more than five fingers.

　　 "How many people are there in the Sendai clan army now stationed near Kinnocho?" Ogata asked.

　　 "I don't know. People who ran to see the flag yesterday didn't dare to get too close to the barracks, so they came back after seeing the flag from a distance."

　　 "Why are the Sendai clan troops here?" Ogata then asked, "Where is the war going?"

　　 As a feudal clan, Sendai's army is naturally impossible to dispatch casually.

　　 mobilize the army at will, maybe it will be suspected by the shogunate to be rebellious.

　　 The Kinno-cho where Ogata is currently located is within the jurisdiction of the Shogunate.

　　 The army of the Sendai clan was able to swagger into the shogunate's territories, it must have obtained the permission of the shogunate.

　　 "Who knows..." Jiro Nishino smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Maybe the peasant uprising broke out somewhere again... As long as it doesn't involve us."

　　 Suddenly an army of the Sendai clan was stationed near Kinnocho—this made Ogata a little concerned.

　　 But Nishino Jiro didn't know much about this army that appeared suddenly, he had already told Ogata everything he knew.

　　 After seeing that I couldn't ask me any other information related to this army, Ogata could only restrain his curiosity first.

　　The actions of the actors at Takashimaya are more proficient than when Ogata left Kinnocho, which is a gratifying good thing.

After simply watching the rehearsal at Takashimaya, and then chatting briefly with Jiro Nishino, Okinawa left the rehearsal venue at Takashimaya, and went to the Hosei Sword Museum, which was two days away from the Hosei Sword Museum. The masters and apprentices said hello, and then began to learn experience as usual.

　　 Passing through the streets of all sizes with ease, the familiar walls and gates of Hosei Sword Museum gradually appeared in front of Ogata.

　　 passed through the gate of the wall, stepped on a small road paved with fine white sand, and came to the gate of the gymnasium.

In front of the gate of 　　, as usual, there are 2 apprentices guarding the gate.

　　 Ogata, as a eater at Hosei Sword Museum, these two apprentices naturally recognized Ogata.

　　 Seeing that the visitor was Ogata, the two apprentices rushed towards Ogata anxiously.

　　 "Mashima-sama! You are back!"

　　 "Well. I just returned to Kinnocho last night."

　　 "Mashima-sama! You came back just right! A bunch of strange people entered our sword hall just now! They said they wanted to ask us for advice!"

　　 "Someone came to kick the hall?" Ogata raised his eyebrows.

　　 "That person is so strong. There have already been several "Ten Swords of Baosheng" who have been defeated!"

　　 "I see." Ogata nodded, "I will go to the dojo to see the situation now."

　　 After bidding farewell to the two gatekeepers, Ogata hurried to the dojo.

　　 After opening the door of the dojo, the scene inside the dojo made Ogata stunned in amazement.

Curator 　　 Baosheng sat on the main seat of the dojo.

　　The apprentices of the sword hall are sitting on both sides of the sword hall.

　　 More than a dozen face-faced samurai knelt and sat in the corner of the dojo with a solemn appearance.

　　 In the center of the dojo, there is a "giant" standing.

　　 The man standing in the center of the dojo has a height of more than 1 meter 9-in the eyes of people of this age, such a height is no different from that of a giant.

　　 is carrying a large wooden gun with a handle of a gun with a half-bowl mouth and a total length of 3 meters.

　　 The most eye-catching thing is that this person is also wearing a set of heavy armor with dark red as the main color and black as the adjustment.

　　 Helmet, breastplate, hand armor, and leg armor are all available, armed to the teeth.

　　 There is a hem that can cover the bottom of the armor, and the black Jin Haori is very cool.

　　 There is a "bamboo bird pattern" embroidered on the feather weaving.

　　 The dozen or so strange warriors sitting in the corner of the dojo have the same "bamboo bird pattern" on their clothes. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

　　 After opening the door at Ogata and entering the dojo, everyone in the hall naturally focused on Ogata.

　　 "Mashima-sama!" The sword hall people headed by Curator Takasho exclaimed with joy.

　　 As for the dozen or so strange warriors sitting in the corner of the dojo, and the man in the battle armor standing in the center of the dojo, they looked at Ogata with curious and suspicious eyes.

　　 "Who are you?" the man in the battle armor asked, "Are you also from this sword hall?"

　　 "That's right." Ogata replied, "Below are the diners of this sword hall."

　　 "Oh?" The man in the armor twitched his mouth. After smiling, he moved his gaze again and looked at Ogata several times, "It feels like you are very strong."

　　 After that, the man in the battle armor stood straighter, and then shouted out of the house with a louder voice:

　　 "Before the release of Qiuyueli of the'Xianzhou Seven Guns'! I don't know what my name is?"
