I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

It was only then that Ogata realized that in this corridor under his feet, there was a colorless and odorless liquid in many places that looked no different from ordinary water.

Because it was only a very common thing to find "pumping water" in the cabin corridor of the pirate ship in the pirate ship, Ogata did not notice the "pumping water" at all.

Then-Miyabe felt a flower in front of him.

It was just a blink of an eye, and Ogata, who had just been standing a few steps away, had appeared in front of Miyabe.

While stepping forward to the front of Miyabe, Ogata retracted Dashaten into her sheath.

Bang!

Ogata pressed Miyabe to the ground.

The left hand controls the body of the palace, looking for possible weapons on the palace, and the right hand sticks out the three fingers of the index finger, **** and ring finger into the mouth of the palace.

"Who the **** are you? What does it have to do with the lunatic who planned to destroy Kyoto last summer?"

While yelling so loudly, Ogata groped Miyabe's mouth, checking whether there is poison hidden in his teeth, while preventing Miyabe from biting his tongue or licking his collar to commit suicide.

This method of checking whether there is poison in other people's teeth was taught to him by Ah Ding.

As a female ninja, Ah Ting has been systematically taught effective suicide methods and methods to prevent others from committing suicide.

Storing poison in the teeth is one of the favorite methods used by dead men.

First hide the poison in an empty denture. When the poison is needed, open the denture with your tongue and bite the pill.

Another favorite method of suicide by dead men is to put poison on their collars and lick their collars when they commit suicide.

At this moment, the reason Ogata used the method of "preventing others from committing suicide" taught to him by Amachi, searching for Miyabe's teeth inch by inch, and preventing him from licking his collar or biting his tongue, was to prevent this guy. suicide.

Ogata knows nothing about Miyabe, who knows if he is the kind of ruthless man who will commit suicide without hesitation when he is a last resort?

He now has as many questions as a mountain, he wants to ask this guy, so he must not let Miyabe die like that.

After searching, it was found that there was nothing in the mouth of Miyabe.

And Miyabe's body was the same as his teeth-nothing, no half of the weapon was found.

"Heh...you are quite alert..." Because Ogata's three fingers are still in Miyabe's mouth, Miyabe is still a little vague when he speaks, "You still know... to prevent me from suicide."

Miyabe is now not only unable to speak smoothly, but also unable to swallow, so most of his face is dripping with saliva.

But even though his appearance has now become embarrassed, there is still a flat smile on his face.

"But it's a pity—it's too late."

As soon as Miyabe's words fell, his pupils began to shrink violently.

"Ahem! Ahem!"

Miyabe, who suddenly began to cough violently, coughed out a few big mouthfuls of hot blood, staining Ogata's right hand that was in his mouth.

"When... you defeated Morimaru... I already... took... the poison in advance..."

Miyabe cast a playful look at Ogata.

"Anyway, there is no escape... then it would be better to die in... own hands..."

"Fortunately...in order to...see your true face...sprinkle...in advance...the medicine that can destroy the human skin mask..."

"Before I die... see the pirate who can easily defeat an entire ship... and my subordinates... what are they like... It's OK but a pity..."

At this time, most of the human skin mask on Ogata's face was "withered".

The "withered" part of the human skin mask also fell from Ogata's face at this moment, as if the skin had fallen off and hung on Ogata's face, looking very terrible.

It was also because the "withered" part of the human skin mask fell off, and Ogata's true face was hidden under the mask, and finally appeared in front of people after a long absence.

Looking at Ou's face, the color of astonishment spread over the entire face of the palace at an extremely fast speed, and the smile on his face was slightly dissipated because of it.

But soon-Miyabe cleared up his emotions and expressions.

"Hahaha..." A flat smile appeared on Miyabe's face again, "No wonder... No wonder Mr. Antong's subordinates... and my subordinates... were easily defeated by you..."

"Since it was defeated by the executioner Ichidozai... then it would be considered a glorious defeat..."

"My lord... he sent so many people to come to you... I didn't realize it but let me meet you in a place like this... really... good luck..."

—Sent so many people to find me...?

Because of more and more doubts, Ogata's brows frowned unknowingly.

"Hey! Who are you? What does it mean to send so many people to me?!"

Ogata has clearly felt the loss of Miyabe's vitality.

And he could do nothing except shout loudly at Miyabe and shake Miyabe vigorously, trying to keep Miyabe awake.

After all, he is not a doctor and does not have the ability to recover a person who has taken the poison.

"Haha..." Miyabe, whose face was extremely pale, smiled.

There is no fear or apprehension on his face, and he doesn't look like a dying person at all.

"Now think about it carefully... I feel a little bit at a loss..."

"Death in the hands of Idozai...seems to be a bit easier than dying from poison...haha...haha...haha! Hehahaha! Hehahaha!"

Miyabe coughed vigorously a few more times, as if he was about to cough out all the internal organs in his belly.

"It's a pity... I haven't paid it off yet... Yours is kind to me... "Hara Jian Shifan"..."

After the voice fell, after spitting out the last syllable, Miyaki's eyes rounded and his head tilted-completely silent.

Ogata, as the "Hara Shiro Bingbei Club Staff" who had worked in Yoshihara, is naturally no stranger to the "Kiseiban" mentioned by Miyabe.

The so-called "Jianshifan", also known as "prostitute", is responsible for low-end work such as soliciting guests in Huajie.

At this time, most of the human skin mask on the face of the palace was also "withered", and fell from the face-under the mask, there was an extremely ugly face.

Too small triangular eyes, garlic nose, fat lips...none of the facial features can be seen.

After the ugly facial features were combined, they formed an extremely ugly face.

The only advantage of this face is probably that the skin is fair.

Looking at the dead Miyabe, Ogata remained silent for a long time.

After a while, he raised his hand to tear off the human skin mask that was about to fall completely, and then put the mask on the palace back on his face, turning the palace back into its original handsome appearance...

However, just when I lowered the body of Miyabe that had been shaking vigorously just now—

Gu Lulu...

Something fell from Miyabe's body.

It is a few small red pills.

A few red pills with a mint flavor

Seeing the red pill that fell from Miyabe's body, Ogata was stunned.

This pill... Ogata has an impression.

Before, when he found Xuanzhi, Xuanzhi showed him the exact same pill. Xuanzhi also planned to give the medicine he treasured to Ogata, but Ogata refused.

According to Xuan Zhi, this is his master's unique poison.

Only Xuan Zhi and his master Xuan Zheng can make extremely poisonous medicine...

…

…

"Hahaha…"

Anttong was panting, mixing his own breathing, and squeezed a handful of Dabanjin into his arms.

YT is in his room now.

He has a habit, that is, he likes to put his money where his eyes can see.

Therefore, the gift that Miyabe had brought to him before—the 3000 taels of gold was all placed in YITong’s room.

-To escape! Run away quickly!

In Yitong's mind, there is only one thought left now-escape!

Just now, after he followed Miyabe and Morimaru into the cabin, he thought they were trying to escape.

Unexpectedly, these two were actually planning to fight to the death with Ogata.

Antcom has long been unable to raise the slightest resistance to Ogata.

After learning that Miyabe and Morimaru were actually going to fight Ogata, Anttong immediately shook his head like a rattle, saying "I'm quitting."

Later, he parted ways with Miyabe.

Miyabe and Morimaru make the last fight, and Miyabe returns to his room, preparing to roll the money and run away.

On his pirate ship, there are several small boats used in emergency situations.

He is fairly familiar with the seas around here, so he knows that his current location is actually very close to the land.

Although it is very difficult, there is still hope that these small boats on the ship can be rowed back to land.

As long as you can save your life, then there is still a chance for a comeback.

-good! So much money should be enough!

After hurriedly squeezing hundreds of large sums of money into his arms, Anttong hurried towards the door of the room, preparing to rush to the cabin where the life-saving boat was located.

But at this moment... the door of his room was roughly kicked open.

Bang!

"Alas-!"

Anttong looked at the man who kicked his door open in horror-Ogata.

Looking at Ogata whose appearance suddenly changed, Anttong was taken aback.

"Hey...your face...ahhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Anttong thinks Ogata's "new face" is so familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere, but I can't remember where I have seen it. But before he could say a whole sentence, the rest of the words were screamed and replaced.

Ogata swiftly approached with a stepping step, and while pressing Yatong on the wall behind him, he took the knife from Yatong's waist, and then folded the palms of Yitong's hands against the wall above his head. , And then nailed the palms of his hands and the wall with an antong knife.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! My hands! My hands!"

The palms of both hands were nailed to the wall, this sharp pain made Antton scream of exhaustion.

But before he called, a slap of Ogata slapped it over and slapped Yitong.

"Quiet me." After slapped Yitong hard, Xuren said indifferently, "I have some questions for you now."

"I ask you what you will answer."

"Let me remind you in advance-I am in a very bad mood now."

"If you say something that has nothing to do with the question I asked, or if you don't make an immediate answer, I will cut you."

After all, Ogata pulled out Taishaten.

"Who is that handsome man and that blind man? What is their relationship with you?"

"Huh?" Yitong cast a suspicious look at Ogata, wondering why Ogata asked this.

But just as he cast a suspicious gaze at Ogata, he saw the blade flash.

A flash of knife light swept across the little toe of his left foot.

The little toe of his left foot was directly chopped off, and the blood was bleeding all over the ground.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah -!"

"I said, if you talk nonsense or don't answer my question immediately, I'll cut you." Ogata said lightly, "Don't be suspicious of what I just said. I'm talking ugly. On the front—I used to chop someone into mashed meat."

"I'm very experienced when it comes to cutting people. I don't have the slightest sense of guilt when cutting a trafficker like you."

"I'll count twice. If you don't want to say something that pleases me, I'll just cut you again."

Before Ogata started reporting the number, Anttong hurriedly said quickly:

"He, they are the subordinates of an old friend of mine!"

"I like to go to hot springs, so every winter, I bring my subordinates to the hot springs in Ezo Tei. When they come to the hot springs, they turn to Ezo women to sell them for money."

"Just... I remember 4 years ago, when I was soaking in the hot springs in Ezo-di in winter as usual, I ran into a group of people."

"The leader of the group is a very young warrior. He calls himself'Kinoshita'. I don't know his full name, but he only told me his surname is Kinoshita."

-Kinoshita?

Ogata's brows frowned instantly.

He was shocked—this surname was often heard during this time.

The last time I heard this surname, I heard it from Chanupu at the Red Moon Fortress.

According to Chanup, the muskets of their Red Moon Fortress were sold to them by a young businessman named Kinoshita. Not only did they sell precious muskets to them, they also taught them how to use muskets.

After the muskets and musket usage methods were packaged and sold to Chanup and the others, Chanup never saw this Kinoshita again.

Ogata didn't interrupt YT, so YT went on.

"After that Kinoshita learned that I was a pirate who made a living from human trafficking and had experience in abducting Ezo people, he offered to cooperate with me."

"He gave me money, and I helped him catch Ezo."

"His requirements are very low, not limited to men, women, and children, and the money is very generous, so I started cooperation with him."

"Cooperating... for about a year."

"One year later, the Kinoshita suddenly told me that he no longer needed me to catch Ezo."

"Then Kinoshita took someone out of Ezo Land. I never saw him again."

"But over the past three years, Kinoshita has occasionally sent someone to say hello to me and keep in touch with me."

"Miyabe...that's the handsome man you just mentioned, the one who Kinoshita sent to greet me this year."

"Do you know who this Kinoshita is?" Ogata asked a second question. "Tell me all the information about this Kinoshita."

"I don't know much about Kinoshita."

"He is very mysterious. He rarely tells me anything about him, and the tone of his subordinates is tighter one by one."

"He is very young and should be about the same age as you. I guess... he should be a businessman who specializes in smuggling trade."

"Why do you say that?" Ogata asked back.

"Because he stopped working with me, before leaving Ezo, he told me that he would return to Ryukyu afterwards."

"He told me: He has a stronghold in Ryukyu that is responsible for making money, and he will return to Ryukyu to concentrate on development for a period of time."

"Although he didn't tell me what means his stronghold in Ryukyu makes money by, but I guess he is most likely to make money by smuggling trade."

"Ryukyu is very close to Japan, Tangtu, and Southeast Asian countries. It is an excellent transfer station for smuggling trade."

"If he is making money by smuggling trade, then why he is so rich can also explain it."

"Although the smuggling trade is dangerous, it is a very profitable business. As far as I know-no smuggling trade is not rich enough to be an enemy."

"Businessman...rich..." Ogata muttered.

For some reason, Ogata recalled his friend who was also a businessman and also a rich woman who was too rich...

Ogata was lost in thought.

Anttong didn't dare to talk nonsense now, so seeing Ogata was silent, he closed his mouth tightly, and silently waited for Ogata to speak again.

After a long while, Ogata finally said again:

"...Why did Kinoshita spend a lot of money to ask you to help him catch Ezo? What happened to the Ezo that was taken away?"

"I don't know." Ant passage, "That Kinoshita is really mysterious! After we abducted Ezo, he sent people to my stronghold to mention people."

"As for where he took the Ezo who was abducted by us, and what he did, I don't know at all!"

"I also asked with curiosity for a while, but I didn't ask anything."

"So..." Ogata whispered softly.

Then slammed the knife sharply, cutting off the small toe of the other foot of Anttong.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"I always think it's unreliable." Ogata said lightly. "What did Kinoshita take the abducted Ezo to do, you don't even know?"

"I, I really don't know!"

"Hurry up and tell me the truth." Ogata ignored the words that YITONG had just said, and once again swung a knife to cut off one of Yitong's toes. Cut the roots down."

"I really don't know what Kinoshita did to take all the abducted Ezo! Ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

…

…

After 10 minutes—

—It seems that this guy really doesn’t know anything...

Looking at Yitong's bare feet because of the shaved toes, Ogata said in secret.

Ogata has cut off all 10 of his toes, and this anttong still says that he doesn't know anything.

"Do you know where Kinoshita's stronghold in Ryukyu is in Ryukyu?"

"do not know…"

"Then...Do you know Qina Village? This is the name of an Ezo settlement. Many young people in their village have disappeared and have not been seen. Were they kidnapped by you?"

After learning that YT had been hired by others and abducted a large number of Ainu people, Xuyi immediately thought of Qina Village, where there had been "disappearance incidents" and many young men were missing from the village.

"Kina Village...?" Anttong opened his eyes slightly, "Wait...I am a little impressed by the name...I remember it! When I first worked with Kinoshita, Kinoshita told me about this settlement."

"He told me-before he asked me to cooperate, he tried to catch Ezo by their own strength."

"They used to catch people from a certain settlement by encircling a spot to help them. They first took the people who went out hunting in this village, and then when the village sent people to find the missing people, then they sent the villagers who were sent to find people. Take it away."

"Kinoshita said that because they had no experience, it was extremely difficult to catch."

"It is because they realize that it is too difficult to catch people by their own strength, so that they will cooperate with me who has experience..."

"The name of that settlement... seems to be Kina Village... Hey!"

Yate screamed because he found that Ogata's face became uglier, which made Yate's heart touch his throat.

"... Has Kinoshita mentioned'Executioner Idozai' or said,'I must find Idozai'? Or have his subordinates asked you questions like'Do you know Idozai's whereabouts?' ."

"No..." Yitong shook his head blankly.

"I think so. Three years ago, when you separated from that Kinoshita, I should have had no reputation."

Ogata paused.

"last question."

"Since you come to Ezo Hot Springs every winter, grab some Ainu women by the way to sell them."

"Then on your ship, is there a woman who was abducted by you now? Where are you being held?"

"Those... the women who were abducted were all loaded on another ship of mine... they were transported back to Iki Island in advance..."

"...This way..."

Seeing Ogata finally finished asking the question, a look of hope appeared on Yant's face.

"I have... told you everything I know."

"Can you... spare my life..."

Ogata glanced at Anttong.

"You kind of conscientious human trafficker, is there any reason for me to spare your life?"

After all, without hesitation, he swung his knife and slashed at the neck of Anttong.

Yitong's head flew out of his neck and fell to the ground, his face still hung with the panic that had emerged after hearing the last words Ogata said to him.

Ogata shook off the blood attached to the knife, returned the knife to its sheath, flicked his sleeves, and walked out of the ant room with a calm face.

…

…

"Why hasn't that Majima Goro come back..." Isshiki's eyes were now clearly anxious, "He shouldn't... have any accident..."

A Zhu, who was standing next to Isshiki, also had a conspicuously anxious look in his eyes now.

But Ah Zhu's expression at this time was a little more complicated than Yishi-she pressed her lips lightly, as if thinking about something.

"Sure enough... I still have to go up and see... Ah! He's back!"

While yelling, Azuki pointed to the pirate boat-Ogata stood on the side of the ship, and then jumped down from the side of the ship and landed steadily on the deck of the ferry boat.

"You're finally back!" Isshi hurriedly greeted him, "How? What about those pirates now... Huh?"

His footsteps stopped.

She looked at Ogata in astonishment... to be precise, she looked at Ogata's face.

It's not just Yishishi.

At this time, everyone on the deck, whether Azuchi, Naoshu and the crew, basically looked like Isshiki, with an expression like seeing a monster, staring blankly at Ogata’s human skin. Mask face.

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

The man wearing the handsome mask turned out to be an ugly prostitute-everyone can freely imagine the past of this character.
