I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

The fate between himself and Hasegawa Heizo is really amazing—this is the first thought that Ogata had in his mind when he saw the chief of the fire thief change at the casino just now.

Counting that time last summer, and this time, Ogata has only visited Kyoto twice.

As a result, I ran into Hasegawa two times...it was so coincidental that Ogata wondered if there was any magic in this land of Kyoto.

After confessing his identity in a low voice to Hasegawa, Okinawa released the right arm of Hasegawa, who had just been clutching.

After his right arm was released, Hasegawa kneaded his right shoulder while stepping back, pulling the distance between himself and Ogata.

"Ogata Itosai... It's really you... No wonder the saber on the waist of this guy wearing a hat is familiar... Why are you... in Kyoto? Why are you in the casino just now? Those people in the casino. Was it killed by you?"

Perhaps because of the consternation, Hasegawa's speech is not smooth anymore.

"The reason why I was in Kyoto was purely an accident. I just came to see an old friend of mine who lives in Kyoto. As for why I was in the casino just now, that's a long story."

"This is not a good time and a good place to talk."

"In short—Mr. Hasegawa, can you temporarily remove the current pursuit of my companion and me?"

"...You didn't even tell me why you were in that casino, just let me remove my pursuit of you, which makes me very difficult." Hasegawa said solemnly.

"I also want to resolve your misunderstanding of us as soon as possible, but now is not a good time to speak after all. After all, the rest of your subordinates may come here at any time."

Ogata put the face towel on his face again.

"In short, you should temporarily remove the pursuit of me and my companions."

"At five o'clock in the evening tonight (10 o'clock in the afternoon), you will come to this alley again. Then I will meet you here and explain everything clearly to you."

Hasegawa stared deeply at Ogata's face for a long time, then nodded: "...I know. I will come here again at five o'clock tonight. Don't miss your appointment."

"Don't worry." Ogata changed into a joking tone, "I really want to clear your misunderstanding of me and my companion. After all, I don't want my companion to be ruined by the government's attention. The original peaceful life."

After he finished speaking, Ogata jumped up and jumped onto a building next to him, and disappeared into the night of the east in a blink of an eye.

After watching Ogata leave, Hasegawa walked quickly to the four subordinates who had been knocked out by Ogata just now, and shook them up.

After they woke up, they hurriedly asked Hasegawa what happened just now.

And Hasegawa said:

"You were knocked out by the man in the hat! I was almost knocked out by him too! He fled again after seeing that he couldn't take me down quickly! He is now fleeing westward! Go and summon everyone to search westward immediately!"

"Also, send an order to the person responsible for chasing the bald head-stop chasing,"

"Eh? Why?" a certain subordinate asked.

"Don't ask so much." Hasegawa said, "I have my own arrangements."

…

…

—Ah... my back hurts...

At this time, the wind demon lurking in a certain alley rubbed his waist that hadn't been painful for a long time.

Feeling the constant pain from the back waist, a helpless bitter smile appeared on Feng Mo's face.

This painful feeling told Feng Mo of a cruel fact one after another: He was already an old man whose waist couldn't stand the tossing.

—Why other old people can still have very thick hair and good health at my age, but my hair is lost and my health is poor...

Feng Mo faintly complained about the injustice of the heavens in his heart, while cautiously peeping out of the alley.

Outside the alley, a large number of officials who paid the thief reform were slowly approaching here.

"Sure enough, it won't be useful when you are old..." Feng Mo whispered softly.

After sighing heavily, Feng Mo pressed his right hand on his lower waist and stood up, preparing to continue to escape the pursuit of these officials.

But at this moment, Feng Mo suddenly heard a very noisy sound coming from outside the alley.

Looking out of the alley, I saw the officials who were approaching the alley where Feng Demon was, but suddenly turned back the same way for some reason.

"What's the matter?" Feng Mo looked at the officials who had suddenly left with a puzzled look.

Although I don't know what happened, this is undoubtedly the best time to get out of trouble.

Feng Mo continued to press his waist with his right hand, hurriedly left the alley, and ran away from the officials.

…

…

Outside the wisteria house, Ah Ding and Ah Zhu were shocked when they saw a large number of officials charged by the fire and thieves rushing into the casino.

Immediately afterwards, the two of them saw two figures, suspected to be Ogata and Fengma, coming out of the broken window on the second floor of the wisteria house, and then a large number of officials chased them behind them.

Young and not yet clear about the strength of Ogata and Kazema, Azuki was frightened at a loss by this sudden change.

And knowing such a small number of official posts is no help at all. Today's Ogata and Hasegawa's Amachi are much more calm.

When Ah Ding asked what Ding should do now, Ding only calmly said: We can't help much now, just wait here quietly for them to come back, and they will probably be back soon.

Amachi's judgment is very accurate-after successfully reaching an agreement with Hasegawa, Okina immediately returned to the wisteria house and found Amachi and Azuku who had been waiting outside the wisteria house.

After returning to Feng Mo's house with the two of them, they saw Feng Mo who should have just returned home.

After the four reunited, Okinawa told everyone about a series of things he had just reached an agreement with Hasegawa.

"No wonder the officials who had been chasing after me were suddenly withdrawn..." Feng Mo touched his bright bald head.

"Master Ichitosai, are you still friends with the famous Hasegawa Heizo?"

The most wanted man in the shogunate and Hasegawa, who was called "Kihei" by countless criminals, are friends-this kind of thing is beyond the limit of Azuchi's imagination.

As the time spent with Ogata got longer and longer, Azuki realized that he was a man quite incredible. He was not only unbelievable with swordsmanship, but also very good contacts.

At this moment, Azuki couldn't help but cast a look at Ogata like a girl.

"Friend...?" Ogata scratched his hair. "My relationship with Mr. Hasegawa is very complicated. I don't know if I can use the simple term "friend" to describe the relationship between me and Mr. Hasegawa... It can be regarded as a special friend."

"Ayi, are you really going back to that alley to meet Hasegawa Heizo later?" Amachi looked at Ogata's gaze with a little worry.

"Of course, after all, he has to resolve his misunderstanding of us." Ogata smiled and touched Amachi's head. "After all, if he is asked to issue a wanted order for Master Feng, it will be troublesome."

"Don't worry. No accidents will happen."

"After all, Mr. Hasegawa is not a fool."

The smile on Ogata's face was a bit more meaningful at this time.

"Mr. Hasegawa must now know that even if he puts on the fire to pay the thieves to change all the combat power, he can't do anything to me."

…

…

After close to five o'clock in the evening, Ogata returned to the alley as agreed.

Before entering the alley, Ogata made a special note to observe whether there were any ambushes lurking around.

After confirming that there were no others around, he strode into the alley.

As soon as he entered the alley, Okinawa immediately saw Hasegawa who seemed to be waiting here in advance.

There was no one else beside Hasegawa, so he stood alone in the alley.

Looking at Hasegawa, who was waiting for him alone, the corners of Ogata's mouth slightly cocked subconsciously.

Although he has had some unpleasant experiences with him, he still has a good impression of this "Guiping" who is willing to stand up for the people, is deeply loved by the people, and has shared his ups and downs with him.

Seeing him who had been reunited after a long absence, a smile appeared on Ogata's face involuntarily.

"Let's keep you waiting, Mr. Hasegawa." Ogata said, pulling down the kerchief on his face.

"It didn't take long." Hasegawa said, "I just arrived."

After he finished speaking, Hasegawa looked at Ogata's face that was pulled under the hood with his eyes full of complex emotions.

"...Ogata Itosai, we are so fateful...I thought that since the Edo Ichifu last year, there should be no chance to meet you again."

"Unexpectedly, it was only a few months apart and we met again."

"I saw Mr. Hasegawa in the casino just now when you led the group of people to rush up the stairs, I almost stopped beating my heart." Ogata said in a joke.

After Hasegawa chuckled a few times, he raised his eyes again and looked at Ogata in front of him, his expression gradually becoming more complicated.

"...If you haven't seen it for a few months, you have done another feat like no one has ever seen before, and there should be no more comers... You really belonged to you, the 10,000 coalition forces of the Shogunate and the Northeast vassals were defeated by you."

Hearing Hasegawa's words, Ogata was taken aback, and the faint smile on his face also froze.

"Obviously, when I first met you, you were not such a great swordsman." Hasegawa continued at this time, "but in less than a year, you have grown to this point...you are so talented. People can't even mention the courage to be jealous of you..."

"Mr. Hasegawa, you really know what I did in Ezo..." The smile on Ogata's face changed to a wry smile.

"I am the chief of the Huofu Thief Reform, and I am not a lower-level official. I wonder if I don't know this?"

Speaking of this, Hasegawa sighed, then said seriously:

"Okay, let's end our greetings. Let's talk about business. Why were you in the wisteria house just now?"

"There is no special reason," Ogata said slowly, "I just came to kill the "Dafo Clan"."

Ogata explained why he was in the wisteria house and his own experience in the wisteria house in as simple a sentence as possible.

Later, Ogata asked Hasegawa:

"Mr. Hasegawa, what about you? Why are you in Kyoto? Are you here again to catch the thief?"

"As the chief of the firefighting thieves reform, besides coming here to catch thieves, what other reasons can I do?" Hasegawa said in a self-deprecating tone. Among the people you killed was a guy named Hideichiro Shirakawa."

"He is the leader of a bandit gang named'Blood Mist', and he is the target of my trip."

"It was just to pursue him that I led people to Kyoto."

"Oh...then I will kill him...Will you be wrong?" Ogata raised his hand and touched the back of his neck.

"That's not true." Hasegawa said, "It's best to catch him. It doesn't matter if he is executed directly. Even if he was caught, it was just another place to kill him."

"That Shirakawa is not a mediocre person. I was mentally prepared for the death and injury of a few subordinates. If you help me kill him now, it saves me a lot of trouble."

"That's fine." Ogata nodded slightly. "In short-Mr. Hasegawa, this is how my companion and I were in that casino."

"So, if I help you in disguise, can it be regarded as that companion who has never seen me and me?"

Hasegawa did not immediately answer Ogata.

Instead, he looked at Ogata deeply for a long time before finally nodding slowly:

"...I know. This time...just as if you haven't seen you and your companion. Also as a repayment of the favor owed to you."

"The favor you owe me?" Ogata wondered.

"Last year, you helped solve Shiranuili—this favor, I haven't paid you back yet."

"Now, between you and me, it will be cleared."

Having said that, Hasegawa crossed his hands into the sleeves on both sides, brushed shoulders with Ogata, and walked out of the alley.

"Then, goodbye."

"Are you leaving?" Ogata asked back.

Hasegawa left so quickly-this made Ogata somewhat unexpected.

He thought he had reunited after a long absence, Hasegawa would have quite a few questions to ask him.

And he also wanted to talk to Hasegawa for a while, reminiscing about the past.

"Well. I still have a lot to deal with. Moreover, whether we two are in public or in private, it is better to avoid meeting and contact as much as possible."

Hasegawa stopped, then squeezed a stiff smile that could not be described in words, and turned to look at Ogata behind him.

"Before in Edo, I also said something similar to you-I am an official, and you are a gangster wanted by the shogunate."

"And now, since you defeated the shogunate's army, our positions have become more antagonistic."

"Let me tell you the truth, too."

"Our Hasegawa family grew up on the shogunate's salary for generations."

"So when I learned that you had defeated the 10,000 coalition forces of the Shogunate and the Tohoku domains... I didn't feel good."

"And you are mine again..."

Speaking of this, Hasegawa suddenly stopped.

It seems to be considering what to say next.

After a long pause, the remaining words were spit out.

"...The one who fought side by side with me."

"So I, caught between the shogunate and you...very entangled and embarrassed."

"So for you and for me. After that, don't even meet in private."

At this time, Hasegawa changed into a tone that I didn't know if he was joking or telling the truth.

"After all, I can't guarantee—every time I see you, I can suppress the urge to bring you to justice, even though the success rate of catching you is extremely slim now."

"If you can be arrested now, that feat is so great that it can instantly increase my salary by 5 or 6 times... No, 10 times is possible, and it will still be a celebrity."

"Such a generous reward, to be honest—I'm quite tempted."

After speaking, Hasegawa silently added a sentence in his heart:

—Especially at the moment when the old middleman is holding the handle and desperately needs merit to show loyalty and show that he is still useful...

Ogata has been staring at Hasegawa since just now.

His face was calm at first.

Then, the emotions hidden in the eyes slowly became complicated...

"...I see." Ogata squeezed a smile at Hasegawa, "Then-don't pass this, Mr. Hasegawa. I wish you good luck."

"Yeah." Hasegawa nodded lightly, and squeezed a smile at Ogata, "I wish you prosperous martial arts, too."

After uttering the phrase "Wuyun Changlong", Ogata, who still had complicated emotions in his eyes, turned around hesitantly.

Hasegawa also withdrew his sight at this time.

The Xu side faces the east side of the alley.

Hasegawa faces the alley to the west.

The two strode in completely opposite directions.

…

…

The sudden appearance of the "Great Buddha Clan" made Ogata's plan to go to Osaka had to be delayed.

Fortunately, it didn't last long. It was originally planned to start today, so the total was delayed by only one day.

He was attacked last night, and he successfully killed the mastermind Big Buddha tonight.

Without the Big Buddha Kaoru, whether the "big Buddha clan" can continue to exist is a question. The wind demon finally avenges smoothly, and there is no need to worry about finding his home burned after returning from a trip.

The Buddha Kaoru has been killed, and Hasegawa has also agreed with Ogata that he will treat him as if he has never seen him and the wind demon, and the matter has finally come to an end.

Ogata considered that Fengma was very old, so he thought that he was tired for a day today, so it would be fine to set off for Osaka after a day of rest. But Feng Mo said that because of his own reasons, the date of going to Osaka had been delayed by one day. If he postponed one day, he would feel embarrassed and insisted that he could leave tomorrow.

Ogata couldn’t hold on to Fengma, so after a good night’s rest, in the early morning of the following day, Ogata, Fengma, Amachi, and Azuka stood in front of Fengma’s house with their own luggage, doing the last luggage. Inspection of.

"I haven't forgotten anything?" Asked Chao Ogata and the others, who only carried a small package with a few change of clothes and some daily necessities on his back.

Ah Ding nodded: "We have all taken."

"Then let's set off." Feng Mo laughed, "Go to the'Kitchen Under Heaven'-Daban!"

Wind Demon walked at the forefront of the team, looking in high spirits.

"Master Feng." At this time, A Zhu quickly walked a few steps, walking side by side with Feng Demon, "Why do you look so happy?"

"Because I am indeed very happy now." Feng Mo smiled kindly at Azhu, "It has been a long time since I traveled with so many people like I am now, and I still travel with so many young people. It feels like the whole person has become younger."

In Azuchi and the wind demon who was excited as if going to the autumn tour with a friend for the first time, Ogata silently followed the wind demon while you were chatting with each other.

He lowered his head slightly, and looked worried.

"What's the matter with you? You seem to be in a bad mood."

At this time, Ogata heard Amachi's voice coming from his side.

After turning his head to look at Amachi who was looking at him with concern, Ogata smiled.

"I'm not in a bad mood."

"It's just... I feel a little emotional..."

At this moment, Ogata turned his head and looked to the southeast—this is the direction of the alley where he and Hasegawa met and parted ways last night. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

"...The executioner Ichidozai, respected and admired by countless people... His life is not so glamorous..."

Ogata seemed to be talking to Amachi, as if talking to himself.

Amachi looked straight at Ogata's face.

She didn't say much.

Only quietly stretched out his right hand and grasped Ogata's calloused left palm.
