I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

After Isshiki and Naoshu left the room where they were staying, and then confirmed that they had gone far, Amachi let out a sigh of relief, and then whispered:

"When I heard Mr. Isshiki's mouth just now that he wanted you to go to the curtain with them, it really frightened me..."

Ogata nodded lightly—Ogata was also taken aback when Isshiki Naoshu invited Ogata to come and fall with them.

Although Ogata confronted the shogunate repeatedly and made the shogunate very shameless, in essence, every time the shogunate slapped the shogunate, the shogunate first provokes Ogata directly or indirectly, and then Ogata could not No counterattack.

Take the initiative to find the shogunate's fault-Ogata hasn't done it yet.

So falling down with others and uprooting the Edo shogunate are really ways that Ogata never imagined.

"It feels like Mr. Isshiki and them should have a good chat with Mr. Lin..." Ah Ding changed into a half-joking tone.

Mr. Lin in the mouth of A Ding refers to Lin Ziping who is probably still doing academic research somewhere in Ezo.

"That's not necessarily." Ogata smiled. "Although Mr. Lin hates the shogunate, he is more inclined to let the shogunate generals and the Gungun shoguns of the shogunate wake up."

"And Mr. Isshiki's claims are much more radical than those of Mr. Lin. Mr. Isshiki wants to uproot the Edo shogunate and bring this country back to the Nara and Heian eras when the emperor was in power hundreds of years ago."

"The two propositions are still far from each other."

"If Mr. Lin and Mr. Isshiki are really brought together, I think the two of them will only fight."

"According to what I know about Mr. Lin-he will be furious when he learns that Mr. Isshiki actually intends to bring this country back to the Nara and Heian eras."

"After all, Mr. Lin is the kind of person with a broad vision and an open mind."

"I don't think he will approve of this kind of behavior to make the country'retrovert'."

"That's right..." Ah Ding nodded.

After nodding, Ah Ding then said in a half-joking tone: "I was a little bit worried just now. I was worried that you would agree to them and promise to go to the curtain with them."

Ogata laughed blankly: "I don't have the time to do anything to turn the scene."

"Even if there is time, I won't agree to them. I don't care about what will happen to this country. I don't want to put my effort into this troublesome thing."

Speaking of this, Ogata paused for a while, then continued in a helpless tone:

"I really made Mr. Lin right. I am now the object of admiration for the downfall... It's really troublesome..."

Before this, Lin Ziping had vowed to say to Ogata: In the eyes of many people who disliked the shogunate, Ogata was a hero who stood up to the ground, and those shogunate men might respect Ogata as the "ancestor of the shogunate."

Ogata didn't expect to confirm Lin Ziping's words so quickly.

"I hope these downfalling forces don't come to entangle us too..." Ogata slowly said, "All the forces that are determined to fall down, come to ask me to help them... Such a scene, I just think about it. what…"

Ah Ding nodded and agreed.

"...By the way...this is the first time I have seen someone trying to defeat the Edo shogunate..." Amachi turned to look at Isshiki's door when they left. "Someone really wants to defeat that kind of The behemoth... it feels a little weird..."

Although her husband has beaten the shogunate many times in the face, and recently defeated the 10,000 troops of the shogunate and the Tohoku feudal clan, the Edo shogunate is still an unshakable behemoth for her.

Naozhou's speech just now gave Acho a feeling that they were saying "I plan to move Mount Fuji away."

"Do you think Mr. Isshiki will succeed?" Amachi Asakata asked.

"I don't know." Ogata replied without hesitation, "I don't know how much power they have accumulated for the curtain down. So I don't know if they have a chance to succeed."

"But one day I can be sure-if the Edo shogunate is still useless in governing the country as it is now, and only thinking about maintaining their dominant position, then people who are determined to fall like Isshiki and others will only get more and more. many."

"Even if the Edo shogunate is not eradicated by Isshiki-san now, it will be destroyed by another shogunate force in the future."

"A country without the Edo shogunate..." Amachi murmured, "It feels a bit unimaginable... Do you think we can see the Edo shogunate perish in our lifetime?"

"There should be hope." Ogata smiled, "Maybe we will see the downfall of the Edo Shogunate in 10 years, or we may not see the end of the Edo Shogunate until we all become grandfathers and grandmothers."

"However, no matter what will happen to the Edo Shogunate in the future, we don't need to care too much. After all, whether the Edo Shogunate is alive or not, our daily lives are the same, all for the four things of three meals a day. Work hard."

"Regardless of the future of the Edo Shogunate, the first thing we must consider and do first will not change: concentrate on living our lives first."

"Three meals a day? Working hard for the three meals a day, isn't it just three things?" Ah Ding asked suspiciously.

On a whim, Ogata made a joke about the "three meals a day" in his previous life.

But Ah Ding didn’t understand...

But it is normal not to understand.

This joke was troublesome to explain, so Ogata kept the topic away without changing his face:

"Speaking of which, isn't Ah Zhu back yet? Where did she go to the wild..."

Boom boom boom!

After a long absence, Ogata remembered the old saying "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives".

As soon as the words he said just now fell off, there was a sound of "dongdongdong" footsteps outside the door.

Along with the sound of "dongdongdong" footsteps, there was also the sound of Ah Zhu's vitality:

"I'm back!"

…

…

Ogata and Amachi once again sat neatly as they had just talked to Isshiki and the others.

Now sitting in front of them, it is no longer Yishi Zhizhou and Yishi Ryoma, but Azhu sitting cross-legged.

"When I came back to this hotel just now, I saw Mr. Isshiki and they opened a new room at the counter of this hotel." A Zhu said quickly, "So I know that their conversation with Ichidozai-sama is over, so So he hurried over."

Ogata: "That's it... Mr. Isshiki and they are also going to live here tonight."

Ogata is not surprised that Isshiki and the others will stay here tonight.

After all, the conditions of this hotel are pretty good, and Isshiki and the others don't seem to be the kind of people who will be short of money, so they chose to stay here in order to save the trouble of finding a hotel. Ogata felt that it was normal and was not surprised.

"Speaking of which-Lord Yidaozhai, I wonder if you have noticed it." A Zhu grinned, "Isshi Ryoma's **** is quite round and quite big."

"I didn't realize this until I saw Mr. Isshiki and the others at the counter. A man like him should be very popular with those who are fascinated by the world."

"How could I pay special attention to a man's ass..." Ogata said helplessly.

-Although this child is young, but occasionally talks like a wretched uncle...

After murmuring in his heart, Ogata cleared his throat.

"Okay, Azuki." Ogata changed into a serious tone, "I won't talk about anything else, just talk about business. If you have anything you want to tell me, please tell me as soon as possible."

Azhu: "Ah, good."

Seeing Ogata's request to get straight to the point, Azuki no longer made any weirdness, and changed to a serious face.

After changing into a serious face, A Zhu knelt down on the ground with the momentum of a tiger descending from the mountain.

"Master Idozai! Please let me travel with you!"

"Impossible!" As soon as Azuki's voice fell, Acho immediately replied like a conditioned reflex, helping Ogata replied, "What are you saying stupid? We can't take you on a trip, let alone Besides, we are not traveling either."

When he said this impassionedly, Ah Ding cast his gaze to Ah Zhu... with a faint vigilance and hostility...

Compared to Amachi, who reacted more strongly, Ogata was much calmer.

After looking at Azuki with a suspicious look, Ogata's expression became a little weird.

—The last wave of people invited me to go to the curtain with them, and now there is someone who wants to travel with me...I have become so popular...?

After trying to calm down, Ogata asked back:

"Why do you want to travel with me, the most wanted criminal in the shogunate? Do you know what it means to act with us? This means that maybe someone from the government rushes in and wants to capture us while eating. ."

"I know." Ah Zhu nodded without hesitation, "but I'm already enlightened! As long as I can find my sister, I am willing to live a life of displacement!"

"Find...your sister...?" Ogata frowned slightly.

"Yeah." Azhu nodded vigorously, "I wandered around for this purpose."

After that, Azhu stood up abruptly.

Then…

Began to take off his clothes.

First, he took off the black robe, revealing the big red kimono under the black robe, and then began to untie the belt of the kimono with dexterity and skill.

Ozuki's sudden move was completely beyond Ogata and Amachi's expectations.

Before Ogata could react, Amachi, who was sitting next to Ogata, moved first.

"Aaa, Azhu! What are you doing?"

While yelling like this, Amachi swooped one by one, pounced on Ogata's body, and then stretched out his hands to cover Ogata's eyes.

Ogata understood Amachi's actions to cover his eyes very well. Even if Amachi didn't cover his eyes, he would not look away.

With Ah Ting present, it is naturally impossible for him to watch Ah Zhu take off his clothes in front of his wife.

And even if Amachi was not present, Ogata wouldn’t go to see it—after all, his childhood education made him feel full of guilt after seeing a 15-year-old child **** there. feel.

But even so... Ogata still has a trace of... the desire to break Amachi's hand to catch a small eye...

"I want to show you something." Azhu answered A Ding's question in a serious manner.

After speaking, the kimono that had been bound by the belt was lost, and she slowly slipped down from her small body.

Because his eyes are covered by Ah Ding. Ogata couldn't see anything.

But he heard—A Ding beside him made a "hey" sound full of astonishment.

"What's the matter? What's the matter?" Ogata asked.

"Uh... watch it for yourself..." Amachi said, slowly lowering his hands covering Ogata's eyes.

After Amachi put down her hands, Ogata was finally able to see the scene in front of her.

After seeing the scene in front of him clearly, Ogata's pupils shrank slightly in consternation.

Azuki, who stood in front of Ogata and the others, didn't turn out to be red because of taking off the big red kimono.

Under her big red dress, there was another dress—a dress that was all black.

The clothes on the upper body are like sleeveless kimonos, revealing two white arms.

The clothes on the lower body... is a bit like a short skirt, with a skirt that only reaches half of the thigh.

However, because of the leggings tied to Ah Zhu's calf, her lower body did not show too much skin.

"This is the ninja costume of Iga no Sato!" Azuchi said loudly.

"I'm sorry, I lied to you before...ah, no, it's not a lied to you."

"I am indeed the merchant's daughter."

"But besides the merchant's daughter, I have another identity!"

Ah Zhu put on a weird posture like a big Peng spreading his wings.

"I am the descendant of the deceased Iga Ninja-Iga Ryu Ninja!"

…

quiet-

…

In the past a long while—

A Zhu: (⊙﹏⊙) "Master Yidaozhai, how come you don't seem to be surprised."

"Ah, this...I am always calm. Although I look calm on the surface, I am actually quite shocked inside."

After Ah Zhu revealed that she was the ninja of Igaryu, Ah Ting showed a shocked expression very cooperatively.

On the other hand, Ogata... is quite calm, with only a little surprise in his eyes.

This made Ah Zhu quite confused.

The reason Ogata could be so calm was purely because he had passed the system early and guessed that Azuki might not be an ordinary person, so after Azuki blew himself up, he would not be so surprised.

At this moment, the surprise in Ogata’s eyes was mainly due to the weird posture of the great Peng spreading his wings and the female ninja dress on Azhu’s body...

—This is...Iga’s ninja clothes...?

In Ogata's mind, subconsciously, the appearance of Amachi in Shiranui's ninja clothes appeared, and he compared it with the Azuchi in front of him.

After the comparison, Ogata came to an incisive conclusion:

—Iga’s female ninja suit and Shiranui’s female ninja suit really complement each other... Shiranui’s female ninja suit is more conservative in the lower body, while Iga’s female ninja suit is more conservative in the upper body...

Ah Ding’s female ninja suit is still lying quietly in their cloth bag for changing clothes. The upper body part of Shiranui's female ninja suit, although the back and arms are red fruits, but the shape of the lower body is a bit like tight trousers, so the lower part of the body is not exposed at all. This is exactly the same as Iga's female ninja In contrast, Iga’s female ninja suit is conservative on the upper body, only revealing the skin of the arms, and the lower body is quite open.

At this moment, Azuki seemed to have accepted Ogata's remarks just now. After showing a clear look, he slowly retracted this strange posture, and then said with a serious face:

"Master Ichitosai, you should know Iga, right?"

"Of course I do." Ogata said, "The ninja used to be the shogunate, but it died out 41 years ago."

—I know not only Iga, but also who destroyed Iga...

Ogata added such a sentence in his heart.

"It's good if you know it." A Zhu nodded, "This will save me from explaining."

"I won't talk too much about Iga no Sato."

"After all, this is not the point I want to talk about."

"In essence, I don't know much about Iga no Sato. After all, I was not born when it died."

After all, Azhu sat cross-legged back on the tatami.

"As I said just now-I am the descendant of the deceased Iga Ninja."

"After Iga no Sato died 41 years ago, many Iga Ninjas successfully survived and left."

"My grandfather is one of them."

"After the collapse of Iga no Sato, my grandfather did not choose to rebuild Iga no Sato. Instead, he chose to stay incognito and live a life like ordinary people."

"Not long after I became an ordinary person, I successfully formed a family and gave birth to my mother."

"And when my mother became an adult, she also joined a merchant who ran a grocery store, and gave birth to my sister and me: Ajiu."

"Because of a good family background, as long as I can remember, I will live a peaceful life without worrying about food and clothing, and still have the energy and spare money to learn Pipa."

A Zhu raised his hand and stroked the Pipa next to her.

"Although Grandpa has been incognito, he has not completely put aside the things related to Iga."

Speaking of this, Azuki paused, and then said to Ogata with a look of shame:

"Sorry, Lord Ichidozai. What I told you before,'Luck is a self-defense technique passed down from generation to generation in my family', these are deceptive."

"Yunjin is not my family's self-defense technique at all. It is actually Iga Ryu's secret skill. The real name is'Iga Ryu Forbidden Technique.'"

"It's a secret technique that can only be learned by Kaminin in Iga."

—I knew it...

While telling the truth in his heart, Ogata fully launched his acting skills, squeezing out a surprised expression: "Iga's Forbidden Art...no wonder the power is so powerful..."

"According to Iga no Sato's rules, luck cannot be passed on to people outside of Shinobu, and women."

"But because Iga no Sato was destroyed, so grandpa didn't care about so many rules, and directly passed on his luck to my mother, and after my mother gave birth to my sister Ajiu, he passed it on to both of us."

"The reason why grandpa taught us luck is also very simple-so that we can have the ability to protect ourselves when we encounter any danger."

"Except for luck, grandpa didn't pass the rest of Iga-ryu ninjutsu to us."

"Grandpa kept concealing the identity of his Iga Ninja."

"When I was taught Yunjin, I didn't tell us that this was the Iga flow forbidden technique, but that it was a fighting technique passed down from generation to generation in his family."

"Grandpa kept hiding his identity like this..."

"Until... until one night five years ago..."

At this moment, the hands that Azhu placed on her legs slowly clenched.

"It was only one night when I was 10 years old that I knew... my grandfather was an Iga ninja..."

"One night five years ago, a large group of people suddenly came."

"That group of people broke into our house directly, and then they approached my grandfather and told my grandpa: They are the remnants of Iga in Iga. I hope my grandpa will join them and rebuild Iga with them."

"Until then, I did not know that Grandpa is not an ordinary person... Although this fact does not make me happy..."

"My sister and I were by Grandpa's side at that time, and the scenes at that time are still fresh in my memory..."

"Grandpa refused their'invitation' without hesitation, and then... the leader of the group-an old guy with a gray left eye pupil said:'Then you can only take your family and force you to be Our weapons are'."

"Then...the guys will do it on us..."

"My father is a businessman who has no power to bind a chicken, and he was quickly subdued."

"Although my mother, me and my sister have been taught luck since they were young, they were soon subdued one by one in the face of such a siege..."

"Although Grandpa also resisted desperately, he is also old after all, and in the face of such a huge disparity in the number of people, he is unable to return to heaven..."

"Even though we failed miserably, my sister's bravery attracted the leader of the bastards—the old guy with the gray left eye."

"Ajiu's talent in martial arts training is much better than me. In the study of'yunjin', she can master the little skills that I can learn in a month," she said.

"So when I faced the gang of bastards, I didn't defeat any of them. On the contrary, Ajiu defeated three of them with just one person."

"The reason why I can sit here and talk to you like this now depends on my sister-I was saved by my sister Ajiu..."

The prototype of Ah Zhu's female ninja clothes is the costume of Juan Chomo in "Rurouni Kenshin". It looks like this (this picture can only be seen at the beginning)—

At the beginning, I designed Azhu to play the shamisen, but because I was chasing the new show "Heike Monogatari" recently, I changed it to play the pipa. It doesn't matter if she plays anything anyway~~
