I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Chanup had already predicted that there should be a lot of clansmen blocking his door, so when he returned home, he saw the twenty-odd people standing in front of his house with anxiety, and he was mentally prepared early. Nupu looked plain and didn't panic.

Seeing Chanupu came back, these twenty-odd members of the tribe immediately gathered around, yelling and asking for help.

The questions they asked came and went all the same-either asking why they were calling, or asking Chanup if they had negotiated a way to deal with it.

After Chanup casually said what to send them, relying on his strong body, he forcibly squeezed a way back to his house.

"You are back."

As soon as Chanup came home, he saw Tang Shen sitting cross-legged in a corner of the room, saying "You are back" to Chanup in a calm tone.

Tang Shen raised his eyes and looked at Chinup with an unpredictable expression, and let out a long sigh:

"Hey... I said that you want to make an early decision, you see-now the shogunate's army has come over, you can't escape if you want to..."

Before Tang Shen finished speaking, he realized that his words were a bit too harsh, so he shut his mouth in time and didn't go on.

Chanup turned his head and looked around: "Where are Isoma and Otunpuyi?"

"The two of them haven't come back yet." Tang Shen said.

Just after Chanup asked about the whereabouts of Isoma and Otunpuyi, their siblings, Asoma's voice suddenly sounded outside the house:

"Father! Father!"

As soon as Chanup turned his head and looked towards the door, he saw Aisuma eagerly opened the curtain and rushed into the house.

"Father! Mr. Wu and Upanu seem to be giving a speech! Many people from the tribe have gone to watch!"

...

...

Upanu stood on a large wooden barrel, looking down at the tribesmen who came here.

According to Upanu's estimation, there are now more than 100 members of the tribe surrounding him.

Chanup has yet to comment.

The diehards headed by Retannoe are determined to fight hard against the outsiders to fight for the slim chance of victory.

Upanu didn't want to accompany these lunatics to go mad and fight this kind of battle with little chance of winning.

In order to bring down these "main battle factions", Upanu just thought of a strategy-that is, try to get as many residents as possible to support him and agree with his idea of ​​"surrendering in exchange for survival".

As a result, Upanu planned this speech to "explain the benefits of surrender to the residents."

He just asked all the people who could ask, let them help with the preaching, and let as many people as possible listen to his speech.

Now the residents of Heyezhe are all in fear and anxiety, and they are eager to know what the future will be like for them.

When I heard that Upanu was going to give a speech related to their survival, many people were attracted by it. In a blink of an eye, there were more than 100 residents gathered in front of Upanu.

Looking at the more than 100 people gathered in front of him, Upanu's consciousness suddenly began to trance-the scene in front of him reminded Upanu of 3 years ago...

Recalling the scene of the mobilization of the tribe to resist the Japanese people on the eve of the "Battle of Cunassili Menazie" three years ago...

The scene and the thing from 3 years ago are very much like this moment...

Three years ago, he was also standing on top of a wooden barrel.

On that day, the nearly 100 villagers facing their Kappasi Village angered their oppression by the Japanese.

That day, the fire of resistance in the hearts of almost all the young men in the village was ignited by him.

That day, almost all the young men in the village took up their weapons and followed him to the front line to resist He Ren.

That day was also the day when most of the young people in the village and their relatives farewell...

Upanu closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and shook his head vigorously.

When he opened his eyes again, he could no longer see the scene three years ago.

He cleared his throat, then said loudly:

"Everyone, thank you for coming."

...

...

"Puccina, are you here too?"

"Yeah. Come and listen to what Mr. Upanu has to say." Puccina nodded his friend. "I happened to be looking for Esuma near here just now. By the way, you have seen Essou Ma?"

Puccina-Reitanoer's belly, he was also Esuma's childhood sweetheart, he had just been running around looking for Esuma.

He heard that Aizuma is now busy maintaining order in various places, and he was worried that Aizuma was tired. He took the dried deer from his collection and wanted to take it to Aizuma to replenish his energy. .

"You guy..." Pucciner's friend showed a speechless expression, "I don't know if I should scold you for only women in your head...or should I praise you for being so calm in this situation... I didn't see. To Esuma. I only heard that she is very busy now and is keeping order everywhere."

When Puccina was about to say something in response to his friend, Upanu, who was standing on a wooden barrel not far away, suddenly said:

"Everyone, thank you for coming."

Seeing that Upanu was finally about to speak, Puccina immediately closed his mouth and turned to look at Upanu, ready to listen to Upanu's speech.

...

...

There are 100 people coming-this has already met Upanu's expectations.

Upanu didn’t expect all residents to come to listen to his speech, and he didn’t have time to wait for more people to listen to his speech. Human obstruction and destruction.

"I believe you all already know-thousands and an army of people suddenly came outside."

Many people below slowly nodded.

"But you probably don't know-the Heren army outside the city is just a part of their general army."

Upanu suddenly changed the subject and said something that made everyone's face changed drastically.

"According to the information we know so far, there are tens of thousands of people who have attacked, and the army currently blocking our door is only a small part of their tens of thousands of troops."

The people underneath were in an uproar unsurprisingly.

Upanu was not in a hurry to continue, but was silent for a while, allowing panic to slowly spread and brew among the people.

After a few breaths, Upanu continued:

"We are sitting on an army of thousands of people, and we count the old and the weak, women and children, there are only a thousand people in total."

Because he wanted to spread his thoughts that "surrender is the only right way" before Reitanoer and the others came to hinder him, Upanu didn't do anything after successfully evoking the panic of the people in front of him. Foreshadowing, go straight to the topic:

"The number is too far apart. Although we have this solid city fortress, we have no chance of winning in the face of the onslaught of tens of thousands of troops."

"Fight against the people, we will only lose. We, our relatives and friends will be slaughtered, and the continuation of our ethnic group will be interrupted."

The panic and anxiety on the faces of a few people slowly turned into naked fear at this time.

Seeing that it was almost time, Upanu took a deep breath and after evening out his strength, he shouted at the highest volume he could reach:

"So-let's surrender!!"

"As long as you surrender, you can avoid fighting this kind of inevitable battle! Everyone can live, and our race can survive!!"

When Upanu yelled this sentence, Retannoe, who had arrived at the news, happened to arrive at the scene.

Looking at Upanu who was standing on the wooden barrel with impassioned spirit, Retannoe showed an annoyed expression, and anxiously said to several "main warriors" like him who had come after hearing the news: "Let's go. Let's drag down the spineless guy!"

After all, Leitanoe took the lead and rushed to Upanu.

Upanu also noticed the Retannoe and others who were rushing towards him.

Looking at Reitanoe and the others rushing towards him, Upanu couldn't help showing a sneer and a smug face.

Although Retanoère and the others arrived earlier than he had imagined, it didn't matter--even though the time was urgent, he had already said everything he wanted to say.

He has successfully planted the "seed".

...

...

"Hey, Puccina. Your father is here." Puccina's friend poked Puccina next to him with his elbow-but he didn't get the slightest response.

"Puccina?" Puccina's friend looked at Puccina beside him with a puzzled expression.

I saw Puccina next to him as if he had changed himself.

The usual Puccina always looks silly, opening his mouth to Esuma and closing his mouth to Esuma.

But at this moment, Puccina showed a serious and stern face-it was the first time his friend saw Puccina's appearance.

After Puccina took a deep look at Upanu who was dragged away by his father and others, without a word, he hugged the dried deer in his arms that was meant to be eaten by Esuma. .

"...I want to go home to get something."

After leaving such a sentence with his friend, Puccina stopped paying attention to his still puzzled friend, and quickly walked away from the crowd.

...

...

Red Moon Fortress, Kunoya’s clinic—

Just now, even though Kunoya had already guessed what Upanu would say in the crowd, she might be idle and bored, so she ran to join in the fun.

Ogata showed no interest in the speech of Upanu, who had never met.

And Amachi, who was eager to quickly discuss a way for the couple to escape from here, would certainly not allow Ogata to leave at this time.

So after Kunoya left with a cigarette, only Ogata and Amachi were left in the clinic again.

At this time, Ah Ding seemed to have calmed down.

She lay on the floor peacefully, looking calmly at the roof made of withered grass and wood.

Amachi's overly quiet appearance made Ogata feel a little at a loss.

Amachi was silent, Ogata was at a loss as to what to do-neither of them spoke, so the atmosphere between the two fell into weird silence.

In order to break the weird silence, Ogata decided to say something lighthearted to Amachi first.

"Um...A Ding. Would you like to drink some water? You haven't been drinking water since just now, right?"

Ah Ting neither said "Yes" nor "Don't."

Instead, after a while of silence, he asked Ading abruptly:

"...A Yi. If we are riding horses and you tie me to your back, can you just take me out?"

Amachi suddenly turned to such a serious topic, and Ogata was stunned subconsciously.

After regaining his senses, looking at Amachi with a serious face, Ogata pursed his lips and said slowly:

"Whether you can break through the encirclement, let me talk about it. Even if you can successfully break through-your injury is not good, after you rush out of the encirclement, your wound will probably only open in this violent bump."

"...I think so..." Ah Ding smiled bitterly.

It is not that Ogata never thought of taking Amachi directly out of the encirclement-but it is not feasible at all.

To bring Ah Ding, who can barely sit up, can only ride a horse.

And Ah Ting is still unable to sit firmly on horseback, so if he wants to take A Ting to ride a horse to break through, to ensure that A Ting will not fall from the horse's back, Ogata has to tie himself and A Ting with a rope.

But this way, it is bound to have a great impact on Ogata-no matter who it is, it is impossible not to become sluggish in his actions if he is tied to his back.

Even though his swordsmanship has reached a level that ordinary people can reach, Ogata is still not sure that he and Amachi will retreat with Amachi tied to his body.

What's more, Ah Ding's injury could not withstand any violent movements or bumps.

Riding a horse to break through-just imagine what a fierce battle this will be.

Even if he breaks out, Ah Ding has a high probability of becoming a blood man---stained by the blood gushing from his torn wound.

"That, that..." Ah Ding then asked in a hurry, "How about letting the people from the Red Moon Fortress come to help?"

"Persuade the people here, and then work with the people here to repel the shogunate army outside the city."

"...This may not work either." Ogata slowly said, "It doesn't matter whether Chanup or the others are willing to smash with the shogunate outside the city."

"Even if they want... they don't know how to ride horses, they can only walk, and they are not good at field warfare."

"Take them to attack the shogunate army on foot, and start a field battle with the shogunate army...that's probably like me attacking the shogunate army alone-they can only walk on foot, not good at field battles, and they can't help much. busy."

"Moreover-the Shogunate army is now blocking the only gate of the Red Moon Fortress, monitoring every move of the gate."

"If I go out of town by myself, I can still barely stay hidden."

"But with a large group of people from the Red Moon Fortress going out of the city, they didn't want to be concealed. We will only be quickly monitored by the shogunate army, and then quickly prepare to meet the enemy."

"Take the people of the Red Moon Fortress to attack the shogunate army that is ready to meet the enemy... I am afraid that the entire army will be wiped out."

After listening to Ogata's calm statement, Amachi tightened his lips.

Eyelids drooped, the expression on his face dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"...Then...A Yi, run away by yourself."

"...Huh?" Ogata, who wondered if he had heard it wrong, widened his eyes and cast a surprised and shocked look at Amachi.

"Since it is difficult for me to break through...then you can break through by yourself." Ah Ding continued, "With your skill, if you break through by yourself, the chances of successfully breaking out should be very high..."

"Don't say such silly things." Ogata put away the astonishment and shock on his face, with a serious face, "Do you think I might leave you behind and run away alone?"

"Then what do you want to do?" Amachi, who had been looking at the roof just now, suddenly tilted his head and looked directly at Ogata with a slightly sad expression. "You really plan to deal with it alone. The army outside the city?"

"You can assassinate someone in the barracks with your own power, but can you repel an entire army by yourself?"

"If an army is not given enough damage, how can an army retreat?"

"Stop doing this kind of dying...you run away alone..."

"Anyway... you are also dragged down by me, so you have fallen into such a desperate situation."

Amachi squeezed an unsightly smile on Ogata's face:

"If it wasn't because I was injured and needed to return and stay in the Red Moon Fortress for treatment, we would have been able to fly far away and would not have to face the current desperate situation..."

"Since you are dragged down by me, then you should stop your losses quickly...Don't continue to be in danger because of me..."

At first, when he heard Amachi let him escape by himself, Ogata's face was still a little angry.

But gradually, the irritation on Ogata's face slowly disappeared.

After hearing Amachi's sentence "You are also dragged down by me", Ogata's expression completely calmed down.

After Ah Ting's voice fell, Ogata looked at A Ting deeply with a peaceful gaze.

"...A Ding, let me tell you a little secret that I basically haven't told anyone else."

He said abruptly to Ah Ting something that had nothing to do with the topic just now, which made Ah Ting look confused now.

Before Ah Ding had time to answer, Okinawa continued to say to himself:

"I like girls with big breasts."

"Huh?" The doubt on Ah Ding's face became more intense, "What are you doing? Why do you say such things for no reason?"

Ogata ignored Amachi, only a small smile.

"After I chopped Matsuhira Gennai into mashed meat and left the Hirose clan, I lived a not-so-short life in exile."

"My parents died young, and the sibling-like masters and brothers were slaughtered overnight. At that time, I had no relatives, no place to go, and no one to rely on."

The color of memory slowly emerged from Ogata's pupils.

"After leaving the Hirose clan, every day I was wary of whether there were any bounty hunters who came to my head."

"There will be bounty hunters rushing towards me with a knife in every three branches and five places, and I have to draw a knife against the enemy."

"Not long after killing the 100 guards in the source of Songping, I lived a life of guarding around, beheading people, beware of surrounding areas, and beheading people every day."

"To be honest—my heart was actually numb."

"I used to feel nervous when I pulled out a real sword."

"But after living a fugitive life, I have been able to calmly draw a knife, calmly slash people, and then calmly wipe the flesh and blood from the knife. To me, slashing people is like eating and drinking water."

"Like an inhuman'executioner', like an extremely good killer'Sura'."

"At that time... I really thought that I might just spend the rest of my life like this-until I met you by all sorts of coincidences."

"I'm in love with you... at first sight. When I first met you, I was very fond of you."

"When I realized that I had a great affection for you, I was shocked-my heart has not been completely numb by the murderous wild."

"When I think of your face, I feel that there are still good parts of human nature in my heart. When I think about it, I feel redeemed. I am not a'executioner' or a'shura', I am 'Ogata Yishi'."

"I haven't completely lost the name'Ogata Ise'."

"So don't say anything to leave you behind."

Ogata raised his hand and sorted the messy hair on Amachi's forehead.

"I'm not as strong as you think. I rely on you far more than you think."

Amachi stared blankly at Ogata, who was smiling and helping her tidy up her hair.

After Ogata's voice fell, Amachi bit his lower lip lightly, mist in his eyes.

"I am back!"

At this time, Kunoya's shout suddenly sounded outside the house.

Hearing Kunoya's shout, Ah Ding quickly raised his hand to wipe the mist from his eyes.

As soon as Ah Ding wiped the mist from his eyes, Kunoya, who was addicted to her life, bit her smoking gun, opened the curtain, and stepped into the clinic violently.

"Kunoya, are you back?" Because Kunoya almost saw her embarrassing side, Ah Ding took the initiative to talk to Kunoya in order to cover up his embarrassment.

"Yeah. That Upanu didn't say a few words, so he was dragged by Reitanoe." Kunoya nodded, "Sure enough, I didn't expect it. Upanu has already been cut there. The guy who really doesn't have any fighting spirit anymore."

Kunoya held her extinguished smoke gun, and walked to the floor next to her, while retelling to Ogata and Amachi in brief sentences what Upanu had just said in the public.

After sitting on the ground, Kunoya looked around: "Young man, your big parcel is really getting in the way. Originally, my clinic is not big. Why don't you put your big parcel in mine? Above your medicine cabinet?"

After all, Kunoya snorted at the big package placed in the corner of the clinic.

This big parcel is Ogata’s luggage.

After Kunoya agreed to let Ogata and Amachi live in her clinic temporarily, Ogata brought all their luggage over.

"Ah, of course." Ogata naturally wouldn't refuse such a reasonable request.

Ogata picked up his big package, and when he was about to throw it onto the medicine cabinet, Kunoya raised an eyebrow:

"Your package looks quite big, but it doesn't seem to be very heavy."

"Yeah." Ogata nodded, "because my package contains only some light things like clothes and maps."

As soon as Ogata finished speaking, his motion about tossing the big package onto the medicine cabinet suddenly stopped--while the movement stopped, the expression on Ogata's face was also stunned.

He seemed to remember something~www.wuxiahere.com~ whispered softly: "Yes..."

Afterwards, Ogata knelt down, opened his big package, and then pulled out a map from it.

One copy—a map given to him by Skulucci.

PS1: Test everyone: Ogata has actually revealed to someone that she likes the girl who Opaida is—does anyone remember who Ogata talked to?

PS2: Although the number of words in this chapter is not a lot. But I spent the time I used to write 20,000 words...

Ogata’s phrase "When I think of your face, I feel that there are still good parts of human nature in my heart. When I think about it, I feel redeemed.", I thought about it and deleted it. It took nearly 2 hours.
