I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

"Although everything is right and wrong, but fortunately-Aruo still remembers my brother."

"Fortunately, Aruo is still alive and still remembers me, otherwise I really don't know how to prove to Xiaolin and Xiaolin's mother that I am their family."

"After listening to A Ruo's explanation, I realized that Seiichi had already passed away when Xiaolin was born."

"Katsuichi also had the problem of poor fertility. Until he passed away, he only had a son with Aruoyu who I had never veiled before-Kinoshita Yoshito."

"After Katsuichi's careful cultivation, Jitong has also become a deeply affected person by the ‘curse’ of ‘Fuxing Toyotomi’..."

Yuanyi paused.

It seems to be thinking about measures.

After a while, he said quietly:

"…poor guy."

"It's not just as strict with yourself as if you're possessed."

"At the same time, I strictly demand my own heirs."

"His fertility is better than his father-he all had a son and a daughter."

"His daughter is naturally Xiao Lin."

"And his eldest son... is the 6-year-old Xinxiu of Chang Xiaolin."

"According to Arro, Xinxiu is a very smart person."

"His original name was Nobuyuki Kinoshita."

"He can talk when he is less than half a year old."

"Slightly older, you can go to school, no matter what you teach him, he can do it all at one point."

"Ji Tong is different from Katsuichi. Katsuichi feels that swordsmanship is useless, but Ji Tong feels that although swordsmanship can only be an enemy of ten people and a hundred people, it can cultivate character."

"So when Xinxiu was old enough to practice swordsmanship, he spent a lot of money to send Xinxiu to the best swordsmanship in the local area and let him learn swordsmanship."

"In swordsmanship, Xinxiu also showed a strong talent. It takes a month for a normal person to master the moves, and he can use it proficiently in only two or three days."

"The knowledge and swordsmanship all showed the extremely talented Xinxiu, which made Jitong overjoyed."

"Nobuhide's outstandingness makes Yoshitsune can't help but conclude that Toyotomi's revival is expected to be realized in Nobunhide's generation."

"Jitsu put all the hopes of Fuxing Toyotomi on Nobun Xiu, cultivated Nobuhide more vigorously, and changed his name to Nobun Xiu."

"From the names of the overlords who nearly ended the Sengoku period and unified the world more than 200 years ago: Oda Nobunaga and their ancestor Toyotomi Hideyoshi, each of them took one word to form the name "Nobuhide."

"Let Xinxiu change from the original Xinxiu to the current Xinxiu."

"Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, these two names each take one word, and it can also be seen from them how much Yoshitsune expects Nobunhide."

"Ji Tong devoted all his efforts to Nobuhide."

"But... it's another face to Xiaolin."

"Ji Tong is...very typical of those who despise girls."

"He thinks that women are just tools to help men pass on from generation to generation."

"So I have always adopted a...ignorant attitude towards Xiaolin."

"Unlike Jitong, Xiaolin's mother, Azhi, is a gentle person."

"Aruo is the same, and Aruo is also a very gentle person."

"Jitong doesn't care about Xiaolin, only the gentle Aruo and Azhi treat her kindly."

"Although they are very gentle, they are also very weak at the same time."

"Don't dare to say'no' hard to your husband."

"Aruo didn't dare to say'no' to Seiichi forcefully, which led Seiichi to train such a qualified successor of'Fuxing Toyotomi'."

"Azhi didn't dare to say'no' to Jitong, which led to the same ending in Xiaolin and his generation."

"Both of them had persuaded Jitong not to ignore everything except'Fuxing Toyotomi'. It's a pity that they had little effect."

"Although I haven't seen Ji Tong, I can also imagine how Ji Tong is like Katsuichi and how stubborn it is."

"Jitong has always wanted to have another son, so that their Toyotomi clan can flourish, and multiple sons can also have more ‘insurance’ that can deal with Shinhide’s accident."

"However, no matter how much he desires, Aruo's stomach never sees any movement."

"Holding the disappointment of'I don't have a second son', Ji often said to Xiaolin:'If you are a boy, it would be fine... Um!"

Before Yuan Yi finished the sentence, he let out a low painful cry—Lin sitting beside him, just secretly stretched out his fingers and gently pinched Yuan Yi’s waist and abdomen with her nails. , And then gently twist in a counterclockwise direction.

"Uncle Gong, you don't need to be too detailed in this aspect." Lin said lightly.

"Okay..." Gen nodded, then cleared his throat, "Yoshitori ambitiously hopes to see Toyotomi's revival in Shinhide's generation."

"But he has that heart, but he doesn't have that life."

"When Xiaolin was 7 years old, exactly 2 years before I returned to China, he died of illness."

"Immediately after... when Xiaolin was 8 years old, Shinsu, who was already 14 years old by then... left home."

"Under Jitong's education, Nobuhide has also become a man... who made Fuxing Toyotomi the highest hope of his life."

"'Stay here, I can't learn anything anymore. Stay here, even if it's a hundred years, I won't be able to rejuvenate Toyotomi. Take care. I'm going to experience and explore how to rejuvenate the abundance. Chen's method'—this is what Shin-soo said to his grandma, mother, and younger sister when he left home."

"After saying this, Xinxiu ignored these family members, left home, and... never came back."

"When leaving home, Nobuhide also took away our Toyotomi family heirloom-Dabaodao Jiguang Bone Food."

"Over a hundred years ago, the family fortune of our Toyotomi family was prosperous and we saved a lot of money. At that time, the owner of the Toyotomi family used a lot of money to find and buy Yoshimitsu Bone Food-this one was once Toyotomi Hideyoshi. The purple handle of the saber hits the knife."

"After letting Yoshimitsu Bone Food return to their Toyotomi clan's hands, the Patriarch of that generation decided this knife as a family heirloom that must be passed down from generation to generation."

"I am also a member of the Toyotomi clan, and I have the honor to personally wield this knife several times-it is indeed a sharp and tough sword that cuts iron like mud."

"Xinxiu not only took away Jiguang Bone Food, but also took away all the savings from the family back then."

"The only two strong laborers in the family, one passed away from an illness, one left home, and the one who left home took away all the savings and the only valuable family treasure. Lin and their lives immediately fell into an embarrassment."

"In the past 200 years, the family fortune of our Toyotomi family has fluctuated from time to time."

"In our generation, it happens to be in a situation of poor family luck."

"In terms of economic conditions, it's just an ordinary family."

"Ji Tong has a good pottery craftsmanship. He depends on his craftsmanship to support his family. He is the only pillar of the family."

"After the only pillar collapsed, Xiaolin and the others directly lost their only source of income."

"The only young man left—Nobuhide's departure is even worse."

"After Xinxiu left, Aruo was old and weak and could no longer do any work, so the heavy responsibility of supporting the family was placed on Ah Zhi's shoulders."

"She has no skills, and the only things she can do are stick umbrellas and do simple handicrafts."

"A Zhi worked very hard to support the family, but she...has been in poor health."

"After only 2 months of work, she fell ill due to overwork."

"Because of Jitong's ignorance of Xiaolin, Xiaolin, who has suffered from Jitong's blindness since childhood, had to become a precocious child."

"At the same time, because of Jitong's neglect of Xiaolin, Xiaolin did not suffer too much from the "curse" of "Fuxing Toyotomi"."

"After her mother fell ill due to overwork, Xiaolin, who was only 8 years old at the time, resolutely bears the burden of supporting the family."

"It was also at that time that Xiaolin's commercial talents blossomed."

"Our hometown is close to a small town. There is a pharmacy in that small town that specializes in selling'yellow pills' and other pills."

"You should be able to guess what'Yue Nv Pill' is by listening to the name. I won't elaborate on it."

"Xiao Lin found out after investigation—this shop is pretty good. The reason is that many people feel embarrassed and dare not approach this kind of shop."

"When Xiao Lin discovered this business opportunity, she took the initiative to find the owner of the store, made an appointment with the owner, and agreed to help him sell how many Yuenv pills and other pills, and how many shares he could get, and then she said. With her medicine box half the height of a person, she sells these pills from house to house."

"Xiao Lin, who keenly seized this business opportunity, finally succeeded in supporting this crumbling home on her own."

"Although because of Xiaolin's mind, this family has no financial worries for the time being, but...you should also know that a home without young men is very easy to be bullied."

"Xiao Lin and the others were often harassed and laughed at by some boring guys."

"At that time, I was aggrieved too much, but Xiaolin was also very strong. Even though she was ridiculed by others like that, she was able to continue to run for the family’s meals and her mother’s sickness while wiping tears. It proves that even if she is just a daughter, she can do things that many men can't...Ah!"

Genichi let out a cry again.

Lin stretched out her hand again to grab the skin of Yuan Yi's waist and abdomen, and pinched it with much heavier force than before.

"About my past, why are you talking more and more..." Lin frowned slightly, and there was a very obvious unpleasant color on her face.

"Well..." Yuan Yi said while rubbing the pinch just now, "I see, I see."

"All in all-thanks to Xiaolin's efforts, when she was 9 years old, she finally succeeded in supporting me returning to China."

"After I returned to my hometown, with my help and assistance, Xiaolin and his family finally lived a life where there was no need to eat a grain of rice for two meals."

Speaking of this, Yuan paused for a while, and then changed to a half-joking tone:

"At that time, it took me a lot of effort to allow Xiaolin to accept me, the uncle she had never masked before..."

"I still remember it very clearly... Xiaolin threw herself in my arms, crying and beating me hard, crying:'My mother fell ill, and I worked hard to support the family, you Where is this so-called uncle?'."

"Well..." Lin's face flushed slightly at this time, and then she whispered, "I was young and ignorant at the time. I almost forgot about this kind of embarrassment..."

After that, Lin raised her hands and patted her cheeks, as if she wanted to pat the red clouds on her cheeks-it was really useful before she thought it.

After patted her cheeks a few times, the red glow on Lin's cheeks gradually disappeared, and her expression returned to her usual stern look.

"My so-called elder brother only has'Fuxing Toyotomi' in his mind." Lin looked directly at Ogata's eyes, and said unhurriedly, "For the so-called'Fuxing Toyotomi', I will send her grandmother, mother, All my sisters left them alone."

"Leaving home alone, and taking away all the savings from the house very asshole."

"And after I left, I never came back."

"Before grandma and mother died, they always wanted to take another look at that bastard..."

"That bastard's actions made me want to immediately drew a knife and chop him into seven or eight pieces."

"I hate him so much that I don't even want to mention his name."

"I don't want people around me to know that I still have such a brother who is not as good as a pig and a dog, so I have never mentioned him and his affairs to outsiders."

Speaking of this, Lin turned her gaze to look straight at Ogata.

"He wears a purple handle on his waist, and claims to be'Kinoshita'. He is still very young-this is completely characteristic of that guy."

"The purple handle knife that he wears on his waist is probably Ji Guanggu."

"Although I dare not be 100% sure, the one who sent the firearm to the Red Moon Fortress and was suspected to be studying the "immortal"'Kinoshita'... It is really very likely that it is my brother."

"If it were him, using such a frenzied method of human trafficking to study'immortality'... it really seems like something he would do..."

"He has always been a... a brute with a grinning face, but without blood and tears..."

Lin frowned slowly as if recalling something very bad...

"For the sake of'Fuxing Toyotomi', we started to study'immortality'... If he did such a thing, it would not be surprising at all."

After all, Lin seemed to want to suppress her emotions, and even took several deep breaths.

And at this moment—Ogata lowered his head, thinking.

Muttering:

"Toyotomi..."

This is not the first time he has heard of this surname.

Just now, when Lin reported that her and Genichi's real names were "Toyotomi Lin" and "Toyotomi Genichi" respectively, memories of the past popped up in Ogata's mind like a flood.

He remembered.

He recalled that as early as six months ago, he had heard relevant information about "Toyotomi".

The head of the "Four Kings" from Shiranui: Shuntaro's mouth.

At first, on the eve of leaving Edo, when he went to visit Shuntaro who was hiding in Yoshiwara at the time, Okina heard the information about "Toyotomi Yodang" for the first time from his mouth...

After a moment of silence, Ogata slowly said:

"...If that'Kinoshita' is really your elder brother... Then what he has done for'Fuxing Toyotomi' is more than just studying'immortality'..."

"Most half a year ago, those lunatics who were trying to blow up Kyoto...and your brother must be inextricably linked."

As soon as Ogata's words fell off, the faces of the people in the gourd house sank—especially Makimura.

A few days ago, when exchanging information with Mamiya and the others, Ogata told them all of his previous experience in Ezo-including the destruction of his human skin mask.

The sentence that Miyabe once said to Ogata "I just wanted to figure out-your real face under the human skin mask, and why you have this human skin mask that we sold to Kunie Junroku.", Ogata also told the gourd house and his party in the original place.

Junroku Kunie was the mastermind who planned to blow up Kyoto more than half a year ago. The human skin mask he used was provided by the forces behind Miyabe—anyone with a bit of a brain can infer: Behind the terrorist actions in Kyoto, there must be traces of this organization that studies "immortality".

"In addition to trying to help those crazy people fly into Kyoto..." Ogata continued at this time, "your brother also tried to take Shiranuiri as his own..."

"I don't know the fire?" Lin's brows twitched slightly, "What do you say?"

Ogata confided the series of information that he had heard from Shuntaro, "The Toyotomi Yodang had been secretly arranged early, and wanted to take Shiranuiri as his own".

Regarding this matter, Ogata briefly mentioned it to Amachi.

At first, Ah Ding had been terrified when he knew that there was such a force behind Shiranui.

After all, people are always afraid of the unknown.

But as time passed, Ah Ding's worries gradually faded.

After learning that Shiranui Li had such a close connection with the "Toyotomi Yudang", the faces of the people in Gourd House changed one after another.

"... Toyotomi's Yu Dang... Oh, it's really getting more and more sure that the "Kinoshita" who studies "immortality" is my **** brother..."

Lin raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows tiredly.

"Okay...Didn't you have 2 questions to ask me?"

"Your first question, my uncle and I have already said everything I can say."

"Tell me about your second question."

Just after Lin’s words were spoken, UU read www.uukanshu.com and said:

"...The second question is the one I've been asking for a long time ago."

"It's just that considering that this question is too private, I haven't asked it for the sake of politeness."

"But now, as well as you and us, we all have the willingness to cooperate and investigate the'immortality' together."

"So at the moment when both parties are interested in cooperating on this matter, I think it is necessary to clarify this issue."

After a pause, Ogata said every word:

"Miss Lin, for what exactly is your gourd house investigating'immortality'?"

"Don't tell me that the reason why you didn't die during the'investigation' is to restore your body to an ordinary person like me."

"...Should I say that I am intuitive?" Lin smiled very rarely at this time, "I guessed that you wanted to ask me this question."

"On this issue... the story is shorter."

While Lin was talking, she slowly turned her gaze to look at Yan Mo who was placed beside her.

"All of this started three years ago-I planned to go to the Elephant Temple to buy Yan Mo."

"I saw the'hard to die' for the first time in the Honxiang Temple three years ago."

After writing this chapter, the author Jun was shocked—this passage is probably the last large-scale literary drama in the book.

After this paragraph, until the end, there is no literary drama in this book. Only hacking people and being hacked are left.

The method of earning Xiaolin's first pot of gold in this chapter is not based on the author. In the Edo period, that kind of medicine has always been sold grandiosely, but because many people have a good face, they dare not go to the store to buy it. For details, please see "Writer's Words" below—
