I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

"When are you going to leave to find Skulucci?" Ah Ding asked.

"Look for Skulucci, naturally, the sooner the better." Ogata replied, "So-I plan to leave tonight and break through the blockade of the shogunate outside the city under the cover of night."

Speaking of this, Ogata paused as if suddenly remembering something.

After a pause, he once again smiled at Ah Ting in front of him.

"In the recent period, nothing good has happened, but I seem to have some time now."

"Why do you say that?" Ah Ding asked.

"First of all-tonight is also a beautiful night: the moonlight tonight is not bright, just convenient for me to move."

"Secondly--I might have a helper to help me break through the blockade of the Shogunate Army outside the city."

"Helper?" Ah Ding opened his eyes slightly.

"Mr. Chanup, he told me just now: He happens to have a very capable person next to him. He might be able to break through the shogunate's blockade with me."

"A very capable person? Who?" Ah Ding asked impatiently.

"Mr. Chanup did not say." The light smile on Ogata's face was a little helpless at this time. "He said whether that person is willing to help me or not is still unknown. He has to talk to that person first. People talk."

"Mr. Chanup is probably discussing this with that person right now."

"What..." Ah Ding curled his lips, "There are still things that have not been determined...Where did you come from confidently saying that you are'good luck'..."

After all, Ah Ding sighed lightly.

"Whether the companion in Mr. Chanup's mouth will help you is still unknown-but I happen to have 2 ‘partners’ who will definitely agree to help you right now."

"A Yi, you can bring my Suyakura and Hiyakura."

"Would you like to lend me your short gun?" Ogata raised his eyebrows.

"I'm like this, and I won't be able to use it in a short time." A Ding smiled bitterly and reached out to touch his chest wrapped in thick linen, "I can't use it anyway, my 2 short guns are all available. I will lend it to you temporarily."

"Bringing 2 more blunderbuss on your body is definitely better than nothing."

Ogata and Amachi have long been not the kind of polite and twitchy relationship.

He didn't make any excuses, and nodded solemnly after thinking for a moment.

"……I see."

Having said that, Ogata unwrapped a large parcel that was next to Amachi-this large parcel contained various belongings of him and Amachi. The Su-sakura and Hi-sakura of Ading are in this big package.

Ogata opened the big parcel and pushed aside a pile of sundries, and saw Amachi's gun and ammunition in the middle of the sundries.

"……Um?"

But after discovering the two guns of Amachi, Ogata made a low "Huh?" sound that only he could hear.

Ogata saw it—under Amachi's two spears, a piece of "cloth" that was very familiar and neatly folded was pressed.

The moment Ogata saw this "cloth", he instantly sounded what the "cloth" was—it was a banner.

A banner presented to him by Jiro Nishino, who created the Kabuki script based on his story, after the performance was a success.

Looking at the neatly folded flag, Ogata pursed his lips as if thinking about something.

After a long while, Ogata picked up the flag and stuffed it into his arms before going to get Amachi's gun.

Because Ogata is facing Amachi now, Amachi didn't see Ogata taking anything other than her gun.

Ogata put the two pistols of Amachi into his arms, took a sufficient amount of bullets, and returned to Amachi's side.

"About when will you leave tonight?"

"The time I agreed with Chanup... is half an hour later." Ogata responded softly.

"Then there is not much time left..." As he said, he raised his left hand again and wrapped Ogata's right palm:

"A Yi... I wish you prosperous martial arts."

"No matter what you encounter, life must be the top priority."

"Yeah." Ogata nodded vigorously. "You too."

"If you have a chance later, you can look outside the city more."

Ogata changed into a half-joking tone.

"Maybe at any moment, you will be able to see me returning outside the city."

"Then I'm looking forward to it." Amachi imitated Ogata's joking tone just now.

...

...

Holding the knife, Ogata walked quickly outside the clinic.

But when he was about to pass through the door of the clinic and leave the clinic, Ogata's figure suddenly stopped.

However-Ogata's figure only paused for a while.

After this small pause, Ogata resumed the posture of striding forward, and quickly disappeared within Amachi's field of vision.

Not long after Ogata left, Kunoya, who had been smoking quietly outside the clinic and leaving a private space for Ogata and Amachi, returned with her cigarette.

"Little girl." Kunoya asked. "Where is your husband going?"

"My son..." Ah Ding squeezed out a smile at Kunoya, "I'm going to add a rich and colorful touch to the history books of later generations."

"Oh?" Kunoya raised her eyebrows, and then laughed a few times, "Although she doesn't understand what you are talking about, since your husband is doing such a great thing, you shouldn't show a happier expression. ?"

"Your expression now looks more like you just finished arguing with your husband."

"Haha..." Ah Dinggan laughed a few times, "I originally...I wanted to say to my son: ‘Don’t do such dangerous things’..."

"But I don't know why... After opening my mouth, I can't say anything except "I wish you a prosperous martial arts"..."

"...I just cooked a pot of warm water here, let me pour you some water."

"I'm not thirsty..."

"Drink some." Kunoya pointed to her eyes, "Your body is still very weak. If your body loses water, you have to drink water in time."

...

...

After leaving Kunoya's clinic, Xu Jian inserted Da Shitian back to his left waist and hurried back to Chanup's home, which is still brightly lit, at a speed no less than a rush.

"Mr. Chanup, I'm back."

Ogata greeted him loudly, opened the door curtain, and entered Chanup's house not long after he had left.

"Mr. Mashima..."

As soon as Ogata returned to Chanup’s house, he saw Chanup sitting cross-legged alone in the middle of the hall. He heard Chanup say to Ogata in a slightly tired tone:

"I'm sorry...I couldn't convince that person..."

Ogata raised his eyebrows: "Is he not willing?"

Chanup sighed.

"He said that forcibly breaking through the blockade of the shogunate outside the city is just to die..."

...

...

Time rewinds back not long ago--

"...In short, this is the case." Chanup said sternly, "Mr. Mashima intends to forcefully break through the blockade of the Shogunate outside the city and leave here."

"As for why this is the case, please allow me to keep it secret."

"Don't you want to leave here too? In that case, you can leave with Mr. Mashima."

"If two people act together, they will break through the blockade of the shogunate..."

Before Chanup finished speaking, Tang Shen sneered several times in succession.

"Huh? Chanup, are you kidding?"

"I'm not going to do this kind of death-dealing thing."

Tang Shen, his hand that had stopped grooming his sled dog because he was listening to Chanupu's speech, moved again.

"There are so many shogunate generals outside the city, just two people want to break through their blockade?"

"I won't do this kind of death."

"Chanup, you go back."

"Don't worry about my business anymore."

"As for how to save my life and how to get out of here-I have my own plans."

Looking at Tang Shen who answered so decisively and resolutely, Chanup squeezed his naturally drooping fists, just as he was about to say something more--

"Chanup, stop talking, go back quickly."

Tang Shen seemed to have predicted that Chinup would continue to persuade him, and took the lead in speaking out, not leaving Chinup any chance to persuade him.

...

...

Time back to now

Hearing what Chanupu said earlier, "He said that forcibly breaking through the blockade of the shogunate outside the city, it was just sending him to death..." Ogata smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Since that person doesn't want to help me...that's all."

Ogata put away the self-deprecating smile on his face, and then said loudly and powerfully:

"I can break through the blockade outside the city alone."

Chanup looked at Ogata in front of him-Ogata said just now, like a big sentence that would only make people laugh.

But I don't know why-I changed Ogata's words, but Chanup didn't have any urge to laugh.

"...Mr. Mashima." Chanup said slowly, "If you are ready, come with me."

...

...

Ogata took his turnip, followed Chanup, and walked towards the south gate of the Red Moon Fortress at an unhurried speed.

Along the way, the combination of Ogata and Chanup is naturally very eye-catching. Almost all the people who passed by Ogata and others focused their doubts and curiosity on Ogata and them.

There are a few courageous people who boldly approached Chanup and asked him what he was going to do.

Facing these people's inquiries, Chanup only smiled, said casually, and sent them all away.

Soon, Ogata and the others passed through the inner wall and came to the gate of the outer wall.

Ogata raised his head and looked at the tall city gate in front of him-through this gate, he could leave the Red Moon Fortress.

Can go to the battlefield.

"...Mr. Mashima." At this moment, Chanup suddenly asked Ogata next to him in a tentative tone, "Are you really determined...?"

Ogata smiled: "Mr. Chanup. It's about this time. You asked me if I made up my mind. It's too boring, right?"

After all, Ogata turned on his horse.

"...I'm sorry." Chanup smiled apologetically at Ogata. "You're right. I was the one who made it abrupt."

"Mashima-kun, I wish you prosperous martial arts."

"I wish you prosperous martial arts, too." Ogata said seriously, "until I come back, you must guard this city tightly."

"We will do our best." Chanup looked serious, "Either guard until the blood is drained, or the jackal who guards outside the city retreat."

Looking at Chanupu with a serious face, Ogata couldn't help but smile.

"Mr. Chanup, order the gate to be opened."

Chanup nodded, then raised his head, and shouted to the clansmen who were standing on the city wall who were responsible for guarding and managing the gate:

"Open the city gate! (Ainu

Although these people in charge of the city gates don’t know exactly what happened or why Chanup suddenly ordered the gate to be opened, Chanup’s prestige that has been rooted in everyone’s hearts over the years lies in So, not long after Chanup's voice fell, the door made a "creaking" sound.

While waiting for the door to slowly open, Ogata suddenly remembered something, turned his head quickly, and said to Chanup:

"I almost forgot about it..."

"Mr. Chanup, do you remember that Lin Ziping?"

Chanup: "Lin Ziping? Of course I remember, what's the matter?"

"Actually, it's like this—" Ogata said in an unhurried tone.

...

...

Outside the Red Moon Fortress, the First Army Camp——

"There is movement in the Red Moon Fortress! There is movement in the Red Moon Fortress!"

"The city gate seems to be opened!"

Even if it was dark, the outposts that Gui Yizheng deployed to monitor all the movements of the Red Moon Fortress were still performing their duties conscientiously.

Such a tall city gate was opened-such an obvious movement, naturally, it was impossible to escape the surveillance of these guards.

"Is there any envoys here again?"

"I don't know! It's too dark! Can't see clearly!"

However-although they quickly noticed that the gate of the Red Moon Fortress was opened, they did not see clearly who came out of the fortress after the gate was opened due to the darkness of their vision.

Tonight is a cloudy day, the moonlight is obscured by thick clouds, and seeing the city gate opened is the limit.

"Go and notify Master Gui first! You can go to the coach's camp now and tell Master Gui-the gate of the Red Moon Fortress is open, but you can't see who has come out of the fortress!"

"Yes!"

...

...

Riding a radish, Ogata headed at the shogunate barracks in the distance ahead, illuminated like daylight by the torches.

Thousands of armies camped horizontally, blocking the way for the residents of the Red Moon Fortress to leave.

Their big camp is like a big net, tightly enclosing the Red Moon Fortress.

call……

The breeze was blowing.

Tonight is a night with a breeze.

Ogata took a deep breath, feeling the breeze coming from time to time with no obvious chill.

Ogata feels that his mood is wonderful now.

In fact, Ogata's heartbeat has been very fast since drafting this battle plan.

Ogata didn't know why his heart beat so fast.

Perhaps it is because of worries.

Maybe it's because of nervousness.

Maybe it's because of fear...

But the strange thing is-after riding horses to leave the Red Moon Fortress and rushing one by one to the distant military camp like a behemoth lying in the distance, Ogata's heartbeat slowed down.

The mood gradually calmed down.

The heart rate returned to normal levels.

Ogata didn't understand why this was - in short, he felt that he was very peaceful now.

Ogata is no stranger to this peace.

In the Hirose clan, when he drew his waist sword against hundreds of people in front of him.

When in Kyoto, strode towards Nijo Castle.

His heart is so momentous—so calm as to surprise Ogata.

——Speaking of...I don’t seem to know who Mr. Chanup said might help me, but who refused to go with me in the end... Mr. Chanup never told me that. What's his name...

——Forget it, I'm not very interested in that person anyway.

Because the mood was too calm, Ogata even muttered some witty words in her heart~www.wuxiahere.com~ Ogata took a deep breath.

The right heel knocked the horse's abdomen lightly, driving the horse under the hip to speed up.

Climb the base of the left ear with your right hand.

He peeled off the human skin mask on his face.

It’s another day to be a broadcast anchor... I’m almost fed up with this extremely inefficient codeword method... At the same time, I can type 6000 words, but my voice can only type 4000 words... I use it most of the time. Let’s fix the typos made by the artificial mentally retarded... the phonetic code word can’t recognize "Okata" at all, and "Aufang" is typed out every time...

Fortunately, if my right hand rests for a while, I should be able to work again...
