I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Time rewinds back not long ago-

"I was originally... listening to my grandpa telling a story... (Ainu Under the comfort of Ahili and others, Lilata, who became a little calmer, sobbed and slowly said what she had just encountered. What happened.

Ogata and Amachi knelt on one knee, keeping their eyes level with Lilata, and quietly listening to Lilata's narration.

Aizan squatted beside Ogata and Amachi, performing simultaneous interpretation for them.

"Suddenly... a lot of strange noises came from outside the house."

"I followed my grandfather and opened the window, and I saw a lot of people wearing armor and killing people everywhere."

"Grandpa took me to escape. Mom and Dad used bows and arrows to cover our escape."

"There are people wearing armors everywhere, no matter where you go, you can see them kill everybody..."

Lilata's sobbing became louder and louder.

"Our family ran around and finally found a place where there were not so many people."

"But at this moment, a tall and black man wearing red and black armor with a red and black outfit and a weird spear in his hand caught up with us..."

Ogata, who had been listening quietly, said in his heart at this time:

—There is a piece of clothing over the armor... Jinhaori...

In the army, only figures at the general level can wear Jin Yuori, so the person who killed Grandpa Lilata must not be considered low in the army.

"The tall and gentleman who suddenly caught up to us used a weird spear to pick up Grandpa..."

"Dad and Mom stopped this Kazuto in order to let me escape smoothly."

"I ran away alone, and I escaped from the village by chance, all the way to here..."

After speaking, Lilata's sobbing turned into howling again.

Ahili, who was kneeling beside Lilata, raised his hands again, patted Lilata's back, comforting Lilata.

As Lilata told her story, Tang Shen was also standing aside, listening quietly.

After Lilata's voice fell, Tang Shen pressed his lips tightly and looked at Lilata who was lying in Ahili's arms with a complicated gaze, and his left hand, which was naturally lowered, clenched tightly, holding his crutch. The right hand also gripped the rod tightly.

However—just in the past, Tang Shen felt like he had suddenly remembered something, the light in his eyes dimmed, and his left hand, which had been clenched tightly, slowly let go...

After howling and venting in Ahili’s arms, Lilata lifted her crying face, looked towards Ogata, who was kneeling next to her, and stretched out her pair. Some dirty little hands clasped the clothes on the chest of the man who had just come and rescued her from crisis.

"Please... save my parents, save our village..."

On the side, Ading, Aizan, and Yaxili all looked at Lilata with eyes full of complex emotions.

Everyone present knows that—according to Lilata’s description just now, there were at least hundreds of people who attacked their village and people...

Before Lilata escaped, she was already dead. At this time, including her parents, there are not many living people in the village...

Everyone looked at Lilata with complicated eyes.

But only Ogata's eyes were calm.

Ogata lowered his eyes and looked at Lilata quietly with her little hands holding his clothes tightly.

Then he raised his big callused hands and held Lilata's little hands.

"…I see."

Although Ogata's volume is not loud, his tone is full of firmness.

Although Lilata doesn't understand Japanese, at this moment, with Ogata's tone, expressions and movements, she understands what Ogata said just now.

Lilata sobbed again, but this time she was happy, excited, and tears of seeing the savior.

After that, Ogata turned his head and said to Amachi beside him:

"A Ding, you are here to take care of this girl temporarily, and I will bring the carrots and grapes."

"Wait, wait!" Yushen suddenly said anxiously, "Mashima-kun, are you really planning to help this girl?"

"I suggest you don't be nosy."

Yujin looked serious, as if he was going to explain some truth to Ogata.

"Too much nosy, but it's easy to get into trouble."

"In the end, I didn't get any benefits, but instead caused a lot of misfortune."

"The people who attacked this girl's village are clearly the generals of the shogunate."

"It is not a wise move to fight against the shogunate's army. Not only is it very dangerous, but it is also extremely easy to get into a disaster that might ruin the rest of your life."

"Let's go quickly, stay away from the army, and don't be nosy."

Yujin looked sincere, and persuaded Ogata with all his heart.

But after Yujin's words fell, Ogata only smiled at him:

"thanks for your reminder."

"only-"

Ogata's conversation turned.

"When this girl was holding my clothes and begging me to help her, I couldn't ignore the intensity of her palm."

Ogata's response was simple and powerful.

Tang Shen was stunned, and then showed a look of despair:

"I have persuaded you. If you don't listen, then I don't care about you. In the future, don't regret your nosy behavior!"

"I'm going one step ahead!"

"Are you leaving?" Ah Ding asked.

"I don't want to accompany you in this muddy water."

"Since the shogunate's generals have appeared here, it means that the shogunate must be nearby, and it is not safe here anymore."

"I want to leave here! Go to another place for the night! See you in the future!"

Having said that, Yujin didn't stop for a while, turned around as if fleeing, and left straight away, and soon disappeared from Ogata's vision.

After watching Yujin escape, Amachi turned his gaze to Ogata and asked seriously:

"...Are you really going to help this girl?"

Ogata did not respond, only nodded vigorously.

"...Okay then." Ah Ding sighed with a complicated expression.

…

…

Ogata brought the radishes and grapes as quickly as possible, and then under Lilata's guidance, rode to Takta Village on horseback.

As they approached Takta Village, a strong **** smell pierced Ogata's nostrils.

As the smell of blood in the nostrils became stronger, their expectations of the current situation in Takta Village became less optimistic.

"Go straight ahead for a short distance and you will reach our village. (Ainu language Li Lata, who was riding on the same horse with Ogata and crying almost exhausted, said in a weak tone. Fang said.

Knowing that Takta Village was approaching, Ogata and Amachi slowed down their horses slightly to avoid making too much movement.

After traveling a short distance, finally—Taqueta Village appeared within Ogata's vision.

Because of the angle, Ogata and the others couldn't see the whole picture of Takta Village.

But only from the part of the scene that Ogata and the others can see at present, it is enough to see that Takta Village is now very miserable.

Looking around, there is no Ainu alive.

In Ogata's field of vision, only three or two Kazuto moved around, carrying corpses in the village.

The red blood blends with the white snow to form the background color of the picture; various dead bodies become the main body of the picture; broken limbs are scattered all around, dotted with the picture.

The picture scroll of **** presented in front of them made the faces of Aizan and Ahili who had never seen such a scene look like earth.

Ahili's face was even more tightly covering his nose and mouth to avoid vomiting it out.

As for Lilata—she finally stopped howling, her eye circles reddened again.

But she did not cry. She knew that if she cried and made noises, it would attract the attention of those and people in the village, so she held her head down and bit her lower lip tightly. While holding back the cry so hard, I didn't let myself see such a cruel sight.

Even Ogata and Amachi, who had been accustomed to seeing various **** scenes, their faces sank involuntarily after seeing the sight in front of them.

Ogata took out the binoculars he had won from Vahiri and briefly observed the current situation in the village, then whispered to Amachi beside him:

"A Ding, you stay here with Aizan, Ahili, Lilata, and our two horses."

"If something happens, you shout. I'll rush over immediately."

Ah Ting made no sound, but nodded vigorously.

After Amachi nodded, Ogata pulled out his freedom and lowered his body's center of gravity, and walked slowly towards Takta Village, which had been turned into a dead village in front of him, alone.

Ogata used the Shiranui current stealth technique, relying on every house in the village, sneaking carefully in the village.

What Ogata wants most now is information.

According to Lilata's previous account, there were at least hundreds of soldiers who attacked their village.

But now the soldiers in this village are sparse and pitifully small.

Where did the rest of the generals go—this is what Ogata wants to know the most right now.

Soon, Okinawa found a suitable person for questioning—Ogata, who was acting in the shadow of the house, turned into an inconspicuous path with only 2 soldiers in it.

One soldier had a scar on his face, while the other soldier was plain, and there was nothing strange in appearance.

The location where Ogata lurked was closer to the ordinary samurai, and farther from the scar samurai.

The two men were carrying the dead body while chatting there.

Ogata didn't pay attention to what they were talking about, he just waited for the best time to start.

The two soldiers didn't make Ogata wait any longer.

Soon, both of them turned their backs to Ogata.

Seeing that the time had come, Ogata didn't hesitate at all, and quickly stepped out of his lurking position, and rushed towards the ordinary samurai from behind.

Covering his mouth and nose with his left hand, he held Da Zizao's right hand and aimed it at the back of the ordinary warrior's neck.

Sakurahara One Sword Style·Bird Stinger.

The tip of the sword leaked from the throat of an ordinary samurai.

Because Ogata's movements were too fast, the ordinary samurai didn't react to what happened, and before he could hum, he rolled his eyes and lost his breath.

【Ding! Kill the enemy with Sakahara Ichisagi·Bird Stinger]

[Get 65 points of personal experience and 60 points of experience of swordsmanship "Sakakihara Ichigan"]

[Current personal level: LV38 (6306000)]

【Sakihara One Sword Style Level: 13 Steps (581512000)】

After quickly disposing of the ordinary samurai, Ogata released him and rushed towards the scar samurai ahead with his sword.

"Hey, this Ezo woman is pretty, and she doesn't have any tattoos on her face. Hey, come and see! I found a very beautiful Ezo woman, it's a pity, such a beautiful Ezo woman died... um ? Did you hear me?"

Scar Samurai turned his head with a look of confusion, and happened to see Ogata who had just taken care of the ordinary samurai.

He only discovered Ogata now, it was too late.

Scar samurai found Ogata, and then when Ogata put Daizao on his throat, and covered his mouth and nose with his left hand-from head to tail, Scar samurai felt that only a moment had passed.

The skin on the scar warrior’s neck clearly felt the breath of the sharp blade, and large and large cold sweat emerged from the scar warrior’s face. He subconsciously wanted to scream, but because his mouth and nose were covered For this reason, he could only make a low "Woo" sound.

"Don't move." Ogata said to the Scarlet Samurai in a low voice, "I have some questions for you. I will let go of your nose and mouth later. Whatever I ask, you will answer, don't yell, otherwise —"

Ogata didn't go on, only letting the blade of Wakizashi stick to the skin of the scar samurai a little closer.

The scar samurai with more cold sweat on his face was so scared that he nodded quickly.

Ogata released the left hand covering the samurai scar and asked:

"Why are there only so few soldiers in the village? What about the other soldiers?"

"Both have left." Scar Samurai was nervous and stammered. "After killing all the Ezos in this village, the general left with his troops, leaving us in the village. Clean the battlefield and wait for the return of the companions who chased and killed the Ezos who fled."

"Where did your troops go?" Ogata asked.

"I, I don't know... I'm just an ordinary soldier, it's impossible to know the specific military order above..."

"Then how many soldiers are there in the village now?"

"Large, there are about 30 people coming...I don't know the exact number."

Ogata was silent, and after a while, he asked another question quietly:

"You just said that in addition to cleaning the battlefield, you are also responsible for waiting for the return of the companions who chased the escaped Ezos, right? How many people are back now?"

"As far as I know, there doesn't seem to be one..."

"...Thanks a lot."

Ogata pushed Taizai forward and pierced the throat of the samurai with a blade.

The system prompt for gaining experience sounded in Ogata's mind again.

After the scar samurai was silent, Ogata took the sword back into its sheath, and then dragged the corpses of the scar samurai and the ordinary samurai into a nearby house.

Now the soldiers who stayed in the village to clean the battlefield are scattered everywhere. It would be too time-consuming to assassinate them one by one.

So, just now, Ogata came up with a way to bring the soldiers scattered all over the village together if they succeeded.

After dragging the corpses of the samurai and the ordinary samurai into the next room, Ogata released Taishaten and Taizai on his left waist, placed the two swords in a corner of the room, and then began to take off his body and shape. He scars the armor of the similar samurai.

Ogata wants to use the trick he used in Chojima again.

…

…

Takta Village, somewhere in the middle of the village, on a spacious clearing.

Ize, who is in charge of the army that cleans the battlefield, bore the long spear in his hand, doing the "gun-throwing" exercise.

The target he used to practice shooting guns was the corpse of a young villager in Takta Village that was placed against the wall of a house and was cut off for a long time.

Izawa squinted one eye and took aim. After realizing that he could accurately hit the target, Izawa threw the spear in his hand.

The spear drew a straight line and hit the corpse's chest directly, and the spear head submerged directly into the corpse's body.

"Very good." Eze nodded with a smile, quite satisfied with his previous shot.

Just as Izawa was about to take back his spear and continued to do his gun shooting practice, he suddenly heard anxious shouts coming from his side.

"My lord! My lord!"

Izawa followed his reputation—he saw a soldier with a bloodstain on his face and armor, staggering towards him.

"What's the matter?" Izawa's brows frowned instantly.

The blood-stained "blood-stained soldier" stumbled all the way and sat in front of and behind Ize, and said anxiously:

"Attached, a lot of Ezos appeared nearby! A lot of Ezos appeared nearby!"

As soon as the words of the "blood-stained soldier" fell, whether Izawa or the soldiers next to Izawa, their complexions changed drastically in an instant.

"What the **** is going on?!" Eze knelt down, clasped the shoulders of the "blood-stained soldier" with both hands, and asked urgently.

"I, I have just been chasing and killing a runaway Ezo with my companions."

"The Ezo's feet are fast, and we chased him all the way to a deep place. Just when we were about to catch him, a lot of Ezos suddenly appeared in the woods!"

"The number is at least 100 people!"

"All of my companions were killed by the sudden emergence of Ezo, I, I escaped back by luck!"

Izawa's face looked as if water was dripping out now.

"In which direction did those Ezos appear?" Izawa asked.

"There, over there..." "Blooded Warrior" raised his hand and pointed to the north.

"Damn...Is it that the escaped Ezo invited the rescuers...!" Izawa yelled, letting go of the shoulders of the "Blood Samurai", then stood up and ordered the soldiers beside him:

"Listen, you guys, go and let everyone in the village immediately put aside all their work and come to me as soon as possible to gather!"

The soldiers nodded vigorously, then dispersed, and proceeded to perform the new task assigned by Ize.

Izawa returned his gaze to the "Blood Samurai", "Did you hurt anywhere?"

"I'm fine..." "Blooded Samurai" whispered, "I just feel tired..."

"Thanks for your hard work, you can sit aside and rest first."

"Yes…"

After a while, the soldiers who had been scattered around the village returned to Ize one by one.

After activating the soldiers quickly, Izawa's expression sank.

"Why are there two people missing? Is anyone else here?"

Izawa roared at the soldiers in front of him impatiently.

At this moment, he didn't know-when he was roaring impatiently at the soldiers in front of him, the "blood-stained samurai" who was sitting on the side and resting suddenly stood up slowly. .

Then with lightning speed, he pulled out the threat from his waist, and rushed towards Izawa, who was only a few steps away from him.

The distance between the two is too close, and the "Blood Samurai" moves too fast, Izawa has no time to react at all, and his left hind knee, which is not protected by the armor, is inserted into the handle.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

It was like a scream that was about to rip his own voice, spouting from Ize's throat.

…

…

The first army camp, the coach's camp.

At this moment, the lights in the tent of the head coach of Shengtianmen still hadn't gone out.

In the camp, two human shadows were projected on a corner of the camp under the light of the lights, and the shadows swayed slightly with the shaking of the lights.

The masters of these two figures are Shengtianmu and Songping Dingxin.

Not long ago, when he learned that Songping Dingxin was visiting suddenly, Sheng Tianmu hurried to Yingkou.

After arriving at Yingkou, Sheng Tianmu saw the dusty Songping Dingxin and his party.

Although there are all kinds of doubts in my heart, I don’t know why Matsupira Dingxin, who should have been with Inamori in the Second Army, was here, but Shengtianmu quickly took Matsuhei Dingshin into the camp, and then took Matsuhei Dingshin to his residence. In the big tent of the coach.

Although there is no drink in the barracks, there is some tea.

After ordering people to boil the tea quickly and after finishing all the hospitality to Songping Dingxin, Shengtianmu finally asked Matsuping Dingxin what was the reason for his sudden visit here.

Songping Dingxin drank the tea provided by Shengtianmu, while telling Shengtianmu his experience during this time.

From leading the team to inspect the strait, all the way to the unfortunate encounter with the blizzard and pack of wolves, accidentally falling down the snow slope, but luckily was saved.

After learning that Matsuhira Dingxin had encountered so many things, Shengtianmu was quite shocked and said with emotion:

"Master Zhong, I really didn't expect so many things happened along your way."

Matsuba Dingxin, who was pushing the cup with Sheng Tianmu, looked down at the tea in the cup in his hand.

"Yeah... now looking back and thinking about it, a lot of things really happened..."

"Old Master, going to investigate the terrain in person...it is too dangerous. Especially in places like Ezo land." Shengtianmu smiled bitterly, "In a place like Ezo land, even with a hundred guards. , There is no guarantee of absolute safety."

"There is no need for you to do such a dangerous thing yourself. Please refrain from going to dangerous places in person in the future."

Sheng Tianmu's words were full of sincerity in his tone.

What he said just now was not for politeness or for Bo Song Pingxin's favor, he was sincerely worried about Song Ping Dingxin's personal safety.

Since Matsuhira Teshin came to power, became the new and old middle of the shogunate, and promulgated quite a few reform measures aimed at boosting the shogunate's strength, Sheng Tianmu has always respected Matsudaru.

As a middle-aged man in his forties, Sheng Tianmu has personally experienced the "Tanuma Era" when his predecessor, Ikuji Tanuma, ordered the shogunate.

Sheng Tianmu hates Tanuma Yoji very much.

Both the identity of Tanuma Yiji and the various government orders issued by Tanuma Yiji after taking office as the senior middle school made Sheng Tianmu extremely disgusted.

Unlike Matsuhira Masanbu, who has the blood of a shogun on his body, Tanuma Yoji was only a low-ranking samurai of the Kii Clan at first.

He was good at managing ingenuity and diversified. With long songs and good dances, he won the favor of the 9th and 10th shoguns at the time, and completed a miraculous counterattack. He was born as a lower-level samurai. In the big place.

Sheng Tianmu has always believed that people with low bloodlines are not qualified to sit in the middle of the old. Only those powerful and powerful people with some excellent bloodlines can sit on the top of the old and middle school.

So since Tanuma Yiji came to power, Shengtianmu has been looking at Tanuma Yiji not pleasing to his eyes.

And the various actions of Tanuma Yoji after becoming the old middle and queen of the shogunate made Shengtianmu's hatred of this man even more so.

Until now, Sheng Tianmu insisted that the reason why the current samurai was so rotten and degenerate was because of Tanuma Yiji.

After Tianmao was in power, he changed the traditional national policy of "emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business" and vigorously developed commerce and handicrafts. His vigorous development of commerce has led to a "money worship" atmosphere pervading the society.

Sheng Tianmu witnessed with his own eyes how the samurai were corroded by the atmosphere of "worshiping money" in the "Tanuma Era", and instead of pursuing swordsmanship and academics, they pursued money instead.

After Tanuma Yici stepped down and Matsupira Dingxin came to power, Shengtianmu hated Tanuma Yici and loved Matsuhei Dingxin.

After Matsuba Matsuri was in the upper position, his series of government orders were basically the opposite of Wadanuma.

Tianzuma's intention is to emphasize commerce in the second place, while Songping believes that it is agriculture, and the country has regained the national policy of "emphasizing agriculture and restraining business".

Tanuma Yoji’s “money worship” corrupted the minds of the samurai and permeated the society with extravagance. Matsudaira has vigorously promoted Tsunaki of the samurai and encouraged the samurai to practice martial arts. And strictly prohibits luxury enjoyment.

In Shengtianmu's eyes, these policies that Songping firmly believes are the policies that can put the country on the right track. Only by strictly abiding by the traditional national policy of "emphasizing agriculture and restraining business" can the country be free from turbulence or inexplicable bad ideas.

Shengtianmu has always regarded Songping Dingxin as a hero who will turn the tide and break the country on a crooked road back to the right path.

Out of respect for Matsuhira Dingxin, when he learned that Matsuhira Dingxin was almost killed in this trip, his panic, worry, and hope that Matsuhei Dingxin would not commit any risk in the future are all genuine. of.

Regarding Shengtianmu's suggestion to him just now, Songping Dingxin did not respond loudly, only smiled and silently sipped the tea in the cup.

"Born Lord Tianmu! Born Lord Tianmu!"

At this time, a loud announcement suddenly sounded outside the camp.

"The lord he is back!"

"Oh, oh! Has he come back? Hurry! Let him come here to see me!" Sheng Tianmu ordered the soldier who came to report the information through the camp.

"Yes!" The footsteps quickly went away from the account.

"The top..." After Matsuhira Dingxin chewed the surname "Top" several times, his face suddenly realized, "Oh, I think of it, it is one of the "Xianzhou Seven Guns", right?"

"Yes!" There was a little excitement on Sheng Tianmu's face, "It's really frightening that Master Old Zhong knows his name."

Matsuhira Dingxin smiled and waved his hands: "I have heard of the names of the 7 people from Xianzhou Qibengun a long time ago, but I have only seen you, Kuroda-kun, and Qiuyue-kun—you only."

A while ago, Songping Dingxin was still in Songqian City, and the whole army was still preparing for the final expedition. Heavenly Dao and the top two remained in the army to manage the army, so Songping Dingxin did not know Tiandao and the top two until now. What does it look like.

"Did you send the Supreme Lord to perform any task?" Songping Dingxin asked.

"Yes." Sheng Tianmu nodded vigorously, and then dispatched himself to the top task today, and introduced him to Songping Dingxin in a concise and concise manner.

After Sheng Tianmu had just introduced the content of the task that was performed today, powerful footsteps from far and near happened outside the account.

The curtain of the camp was lifted, and the top followed the lifted curtain into the camp.

After seeing Songping Dingxin who was sitting next to his uncle, the top person who had never seen Songping Dingxin immediately froze in place, thinking about who this person was.

Before the most thought of a reason, Sheng Tianmu directly helped him solve his puzzles.

"Top! Don't hurry up, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, this person is the old middle-Songping Dingxin!"

The uppermost pupil shrank suddenly, and after a blank look at Shengtian, he knelt in front of Matsuhira Dingxin, and bowed to Matsuhira Dingxin, and said hello to Matsuhei Dingxin, and said he did not salute in time. And apologize.

Songping Dingxin waved his hand and signaled that after the top of the body got up, he carefully looked at the top several times from head to toe, and then gently nodded.

"It's worthy of being your nephew, Lord Tianmu, this majestic figure is really daunting."

Songping Dingxin, who has heard of the name "Xianzhou Seven Guns" a long time ago, naturally knows the relationship between Shengtianmu and Supreme.

"Old Master, you're overwhelmed."

The reason why Sheng Tianmu asked the top person who had just completed the task and returned to his account to come to his account immediately was to make his nephew be familiar with Matsuba Dingxin.

Therefore—seeing that my purpose has been initially achieved, although his lips are polite and modest, the joy that can’t be hidden has emerged in the eyes of the Tiantian’s purpose.
