I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

I almost forgot to tell you. The author slightly revised Chapter 534, "The Storm Is Rising, and the War Is Coming", and Chapter 535, "We Are Like a Tiger".

The plot was not changed, but a little more content was added to make the plot more plump, making the two chapters more than a few hundred words.

You can go back and see these 2 chapters that have been refined~~

Before Chanup started his speech.

"Otunpuyi! You are here! I finally found you!"

Esuma rushed to the small clearing in front of her with anxiety and joy.

In this small clearing, a figure that Esuma was very familiar with was sitting there—this figure was Otunpuyi.

Earlier, when Esuma was patrolling around and maintaining order in various places, she saw her younger brother sitting in an inconspicuous corner with a dull look.

At that time, Esuma, who was busy, asked her brother to go home quickly, and personally watched Otunpuyi's departure. However, after Esuma returned home, she could not see her brother.

Until it was getting dark, Esuma, who was worried about Otunpuyi, who had not returned home, left home and looked for her brother everywhere.

Esuma ran everywhere where her brother used to go, and finally—finally found her brother in the small clearing in front of her.

This inconspicuous small open space can be regarded as a place full of memories for the sisters and brothers of Aizuma and Otunpuyi.

When they were very young, they often played in this small open space.

"Sister..." Otunpuyi, who was sitting on the ground, turned to look at the older sister behind him.

"What are you doing here?" Esuma shouted at her brother with an angry face, "Why don't you obediently listen to me and go home obediently?"

"I'm sorry..." Otunpuyi apologized in a low voice, "I just want to find a quiet place to think about the problem at ease..."

"Thinking about things?" Esuma frowned. "What are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking about what we should do when facing the Hezuo army outside the city." Otunpu said every word with a very serious expression.

A bit of surprise flashed across Esuma's face when he heard his brother's answer.

"...This kind of thing is not something a child like you should think about." Esuma said sternly, "This kind of thing will be considered by the father, you don't have to think about it so much."

"Okay, get up, come with me quickly. Father, he summoned all of us He Yezhe, it seems that he wants to say something to everyone."

"Everyone has been summoned?" Otunpuyi was surprised, "What does father want to tell everyone?"

"I don't know. So get up quickly." Esuma stretched out her hand to her brother. "Let's go and listen to what father wants to say to everyone."

Otunpuyi grabbed Aizuma's outstretched hand, stood up with Aizuma's help, and then rushed to the "old place" with Aizuma.

Their siblings came just right.

When the two of them came to the "old place", Chanup had already stood on the high platform.

Since their father started his speech, their two brothers and sisters showed the same expressions very tacitly—their two sisters and brothers maintained their shocked expressions until the end of Chanup's speech.

At the beginning, I was shocked by the first story that Chanup told him—that is, when he was young, he had been to "Herendi".

My father actually went to "Herendi" when he was young, and the two of them, as children of Chanupu, had never heard of it. Their father had never told them about it.

Then they were shocked that their father's speech exploded with such a strong energy.

Looking at the clansmen who were roaring around and responding to her father, Esuma wondered for a moment whether she was dreaming.

Compared to her sister's expression of excitement, her younger brother beside Esuma had a relatively flat reaction.

Otunpuyi stared blankly at the people around him who were responding to his father.

The look is complicated.

…

…

After coming down from the high platform of the "old place", even though there were so many things waiting for Chanup to deal with after successfully arousing everyone's fighting spirit, Chanup went straight back home.

Because he had already agreed with Ogata before-after he had finished speaking with everyone in Heyezhe, he would go back to his home and wait for Ogata to hear what Ogata wanted to say to him.

As soon as he got home, Chanup saw Tang Shen who was still sitting cross-legged in the old position, staring at him with a sharp gaze.

Ignoring Tang Shen's gaze, Chanup looked around for four weeks and asked:

"Have Esuma and Otunpuyi ever come back?"

"No." Tang Shen replied.

"Has Mr. Mashima ever been here?" Chanup asked again.

"nor."

"That's it..." Chanup responded softly, taking off the bow on his back and sitting opposite Yujin, "Then wait for Majima-san here for a while."

"...Chanup." Tang Shen asked suddenly, "Do you know why I still stay here after telling you the news of the'shogunate attack'?"

"I don't know." Chanup answered honestly. "You didn't explain it to me, did you?"

"The reason why I stay here is for you, for your old friend." Tang Shen said solemnly, "I don't want you to die. So I chose to stay here until I confirmed with my own eyes that you chose to live. The road."

Chanup laughed a few self-deprecating laughs: "So...no wonder you have been trying to persuade me to escape these days. You never persuaded me to fight a decisive battle with the Kazuto outside the city. If you ask you to hurry up and leave, you don't leave."

"In this way, I feel a little guilty...because of me, you have now missed the best time to escape..."

"I put it aside in advance, I have my own plan." After that, Tang Shen sighed heavily, "Why do you choose this kind of nine deaths...no, almost ten deaths without life?"

Before Chanup officially conveyed his belief in "to defend his homeland to the death" to the people of Heyzhe, Chanup informed Tang God of his decision in advance.

After learning what Chinup planned to do, Tang Shen immediately persuaded Chinup not to do stupid things.

Of course-in the face of Tang Shen's persuasion, Chanup naturally remained unmoved until the end.

"...Tangshen. You haven't experienced our southward migration 10 years ago." Chanup said softly, "You can't understand our feelings for the land under our feet."

"Hey..." Tang Shen took a breath after being silent for a while.

With this long sigh, Tang Shen's face became haggard.

"Forget it...this is the end of the matter, no matter what I say, it should be useless."

"...Tangshen. What should you do next?" Chanup asked, "Thousands of troops outside the city have blocked the entrance to our Heyezhe. How are you going to leave here?"

"I don't need to worry about my business." Tang Shen replied in a somewhat impatient tone, "I will find a way to save my life."

Chanup: "..."

"Why?" Tang Shen stared at Chanup, "Why look at me like this?"

"...Tangshen." Chanup said as he sat up slowly, "After reuniting with you for a long time, I have always wanted to say something to you."

"Words? What are you talking about?"

Chanup slowly placed his gaze on the thick and long crutch on the right side of Tang Shen's body.

"Unexpectedly, so many years have passed." Chanup said softly, "You still carry your crutches that I made for you with you."

Tang Shen's pupils shrank slightly.

"Tang Shen."

Chanup whispered Tang Shen's name while reaching out to pick up the crutch beside Tang Shen.

Tang Shen didn't do anything to hinder Chanup's act of reaching for his crutches.

"Tang Shen, don't leave here. Can you... help me like before?"

Click.

With a "click" sound, the head of Tang Shen's crutch was unscrewed.

After removing the unscrewed head of the crutch, the scene inside the crutch was completely revealed-the crutch was hollowed out.

Inside the crutch, there is a knife.

When Chanup took off the head of the cane, the handle of the knife just exposed.

Chanup grabbed the handle of the knife and slowly pulled the knife with the sheath from the crutch.

This is a white knife all over.

The handle, blade, and scabbard are all beautiful snow white.

The firelight from the oil lamp shone on its scabbard and turned out a dazzling white light.

This is also a strangely shaped knife.

The blade is the blade of the knife.

Its hilt is not the hilt of a samurai sword wrapped in fish skin and wrapped with a non-slip handle.

The style of its hilt is more like the Tang sword of the Tang Dynasty. The bottom of the hilt is also tied with a slender snow-white sword spike.

Chanup held the scabbard of the knife, and pointed the hilt in front of him, looking at the soup **** in Chanup's hand with complicated eyes.

"Stay and help me."

"With your help, I will be as powerful as a thousand people!"

Chanup's tone was elevated.

"It's like you helped me avenge my father's murder."

"Just use your Japanese sword!"

"Your skills must not be ruined. Am I right? Tang Shen..."

Chanup just wanted to say the name "Tang Shen", and he gave a sudden stop.

After a pause, Chanup put on an extremely serious expression and changed his mouth every word:

"No...it should be-Shendu Bujingzhai is right."

"Bujingzhai! Draw your sword!"

"Please... help me again!"

Tang Shen embraced his arms and quietly looked at Chanup, who was staring at him with fiery eyes.

"...Shendu Bujingzhai..." Tang Shen let out a low chuckle.

There was a faint self-deprecating color in the laughter.

"It's really a long-lost name... The last time I heard someone call me that, I don't remember when it was..."

After that, Tang Shen raised his hands and held the knife in Chanupu's hand.

After gently stroking the scabbard several times with a motion as if he was stroking some soft silk, Tang Shen slowly put the Japanese sword in his hand to his side.

Looking at Tang Shen's actions, a faint disappointment appeared in Chanup's eyes.

In response to Chanup's disappointed gaze, Tang Shen said softly:

"Sorry, forgive me."

"What you just said was wrong."

"I have been relying on the hunting skills you taught me over the years, hunting all kinds of small animals, selling them to various merchants for a living. I have been a pet dealer for so many years. I am completely unfamiliar with how to wield a knife. Not to mention. —I’m still old.”

"Now—please forgive me for something bad."

"I still want to live."

"I don't want to stay here, go with you to fight a battle with a slim chance of winning, and die together."

Tang Shen's refusal was straightforward and straightforward.

With a complicated look, Chanup sighed heavily after looking at each other for a while with Tang Shen.

"I see... Since you have said so, then I won't force you..."

"I'll find a way to get out of here by myself." Tang Shen grabbed the Japanese sword again, then stuffed the Japanese sword back into the crutch, and then stood up from the ground.

"Where are you going?" Chanup asked.

"I'm going to feed my sled dogs." Tang Shen replied, "Go and return."

After that, Tang Shen grabbed his crutch and left Chanup's house in a stride.

Chanup kept watching Tang Shen leaving his home before turning his gaze back.

Silently took out his tobacco bag, took out a roll of tobacco from the bag, stuffed his smoking gun, took the oil lamp next to him, and lit the cigarette.

Chanup just smoked like this.

Smoked for some reason, no smell of smoke.

Before Chanup could take a few sips, the voice he had been waiting for after returning home came from outside the house:

"Mr. Chanup, it's me."

Chanup hurriedly took down the smoking gun in his mouth: "Mr. Mashima, come in!"

Chanup's voice fell, and Xu Jian held his knife, opened the curtain, and entered Chanup's house.

"I also listened to your generous statement just now under the high platform." Ogata said to Chanupu in a tone of admiration while kneeling before and after Chanupu. , "After listening to your generous statement and seeing other people's reactions, I was stunned."

"Thank you for the compliment." Chanup said modestly. "In Tangtu on the other side of the sea, there is a saying called ‘know it and do nothing’."

"The friend I mentioned on the platform just now took my young man to live with Matsumae-fan. He once explained this sentence to me—if you don't ask if you can do something, you should ask if you should."

"I just practiced this sentence and did what I should do."

"You still understand this famous Chinese saying?" A flash of surprise flashed in Ogata's eyes.

"I only understand a few sentences." Chanupu smiled bitterly and shook his head.

As the voice fell, Chanup raised his gaze and looked at Ogata's face in front of him.

"Mr. Mashima, I feel guilty as soon as I see your face." A few apologies appeared on Chinup's face, "The war between us and the Japanese has affected you and your wife..."

Ogata shook his head gently: "Mr. Chanup, you don't have to apologize to me for this kind of thing."

"I have stayed here for the sake of healing Uchiko."

"I jumped into this vortex on my own initiative."

"I don't regret doing this for the sake of my wife."

"Rather than watching my wife who could not receive professional treatment afterwards die of injuries alive, I would rather face the thunder above the nine heavens."

"I am also prepared to be psychologically affected by the war early."

"Mr. Chanup, our goal is now unified."

"You want to protect your home."

"And I also want to protect my wife who has not been able to move freely."

"Therefore, our goal is the same-to drive away the jackals outside the city."

"So—Mr. Chanup."

With a serious face, Ogata said every word:

"Let's make an alliance."

"Work together to drive away the Hezuo army from outside the city."

As soon as Ogata's words fell off, Chanup's face was immediately filled with surprise.

"Mr. Mashima, would you like to help us?"

Ogata nodded, then took out a map from his arms and spread it between him and Chanup.

"Mr. Chanup, I just happen to have a plan that can greatly improve our chances of winning."

"I have a friend who is in this place now."

Ogata pointed his finger at a place marked with a special symbol on the map.

"My friend is a Lucia. He has dozens of tried-and-tested elite cavalry under his command."

"I plan to ask that friend of mine to help us!"

Ogata didn't talk any unnecessary nonsense, and told Chanup of his plan concisely and concisely.

"Will your friend help?" Chanup's brows frowned immediately.

At this moment, a large number of questions emerged from Chanup's mind one by one.

And Chanup also asked these questions one by one.

"Mr. Mashima, you said you want to ask your friend to help... How are you going to meet your friend? Now our only entrance to Heyezhe has been blocked by the thousands of troops. I want to go out. I can't even get out."

"I know." Ogata said solemnly, "So—I will try to forcefully break through the blockade of the army outside the city."

"Break through the blockade of the army outside the city?" Chanup's eyes widened instantly. "Mr. Mashima, I know your swordsmanship is not ordinary... But... no matter how good your swordsmanship is, it is impossible to break through thousands of troops. Block the line?"

"Apart from breaking through the blockade of the army outside the city, there is no other way to leave here." Ogata smiled wryly. "It seems difficult at first, but it's not completely impossible-I don't want to count. The thousand armies are fighting head-on, just breaking through their blockade."

"So I don't need to defeat all these thousands of generals, I just need to defeat the people in front of me-but the speed must be fast, so I have to ride through."

"Even if you say that... it would be crazy to plan to break through the blockade of the army outside the city without a helper..." Chanup shook his head.

Chanup just shook his head a few times when his shaking head suddenly stopped.

At the moment, something happened slowly in Chanup's mind.

This thing is a white sword with a white body.

Ask for a monthly pass! Ask for a monthly pass! Ask for a monthly pass!

Yesterday, I saw a reminder from a famous book friend, that I suddenly remembered—I seem to have never told you: in the real Edo period, there is actually more than one person in Laozhong.

In reality, Laozhong, like Ruo Nianzhi, usually has 4-5 people.

In the historical facts, Songping Dingxin was trusted by the general and his power was overwhelmed by the world. Therefore, the other senior middle school members who had the same tenure as him had no sense of existence. They were obviously in the same position, but they were no different from the younger brothers of Songping Dingxin.

This book is for the plot, so it was changed to "the current old school is only Songping Dingxin".

I hereby remind everyone-don’t misunderstand the setting of this book as historical facts~~
