I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

The body seems to be paralyzed.

The heart seemed to be oppressed from the outside, which made Isshiki feel like it was getting harder to breathe.

Blinking his eyes forcefully, he repeatedly confirmed the appearance of the person in front of him.

There is no wrong person.

No wrong person either.

Goosebumps started all over my body.

There is a sense of relief that the scattered puzzle pieces are put back together in an instant.

As if he was about to drown, he successfully hugged a driftwood floating on the river. .

At this moment, Isshiki felt that the uneasiness, worry, sadness and other emotions accumulated in her chest burst out, and the dammed emotions flooded out in an instant.

The body reacts before her consciousness.

Almost without any hesitation, she threw the cloth bag containing food, drinking water, money, etc. that Chuguang had given her just now to her feet, and then sprinted into the arms of the person in front of her.

…

…

Ogata looked at Isshiki who was crying on his chest with surprise.

He subconsciously wanted to open his mouth to ask Isshiki "what's wrong" and "why are you here".

But after seeing Isshiki's shoulders shaking slightly, and feeling the fabric on his chest being wet with warm tears, Ogata silently closed his already open lips.

After a long time, Isshiki's shoulders gradually stopped shaking.

"Master Yidaozhai..."

Isshiki Flower slowly lifted her head from Ogata's embrace.

At this time, she no longer looked like the cold female swordsman of the past.

His eyes were red, and there were still a lot of tears in his eyes, like a helpless child.

"It's great that you're okay..."

"Miss Isshiki..." Ogata didn't ask Isshiki until then, "What's wrong? What happened? Why are you here?"

"...Master Yidaozhai..."

The teardrops in the eye sockets of Yi Shihua swayed slightly.

"What should I do now... what should I do..."

…

…

Turn back time to just now—

Osaka, Isshiki Hana's Detention Center—

She was tied to a wooden post with a gentle method, and a piece of Ishiki flower with a cloth was stuck in her mouth. She slowly raised her little head and threw a worry, anxiety, etc. towards the closed window next to her. colored eyes.

Several days have passed since he was locked in this small house by the first light.

For the past few days, Isshiki has been taking good care of an old woman who lives in the same room with her.

Every meal is sumptuous and delicious, and Ishiki is never hungry or thirsty, except that there is no freedom, everything is fine.

But even so, Isshiki still feels like a year.

Worrying about her family makes Isshiki feel like countless ants are crawling on her heart.

Since Chu Guang sent her into this room, he never showed up again.

She tried to ask the old woman who was taking care of her if she knew the current situation of her family, but the old woman said she had no idea.

Worrying about her family has already made Ishiki confused. But who knows that one wave is not settled, and another wave rises - just now, she heard the sound of gunfire outside the house.

She asked the old woman, and the old woman also expressed concern that she did not know, but said that the outside is very chaotic now, and you can see firelights and people fleeing everywhere.

—Osaka now... what's going on...?

—Grandpa... Mom and Dad... How are they doing now...?

These two worries made her beautiful brow wrinkle tightly from the beginning.

After taking his eyes back from the closed window next to him, Isshiki's head drooped with frustration and annoyance.

After taking a few deep breaths, Ishiki started to do what she had to do many times every day for the past few days - meditate on the Buddhist scriptures and pray for the blessing of the Buddha, so that her family can be safe and sound.

This is also the only thing she can do in these days as a devout Buddhist.

Isshiki is not just praying for her family.

In addition to her family, she is also praying for the young man who...that mysterious organization did not hesitate to arrest her whole family in order to find him.

—Grandpa…Parents…Master Yidaozhai…

- You must be safe...

Ishiki recited the Buddhist scriptures completely in her heart, and when she was about to recite it for the second time—

dong dong dong...

Outside the room, there was a sound of brisk walking along the wooden corridor.

As soon as Isshiki opened her eyes in shock at the sound, the door in front of her was pulled open.

The person who opened the door—it was the first light who had not seen each other since we parted a few days ago.

And behind Chu Guang, stood a man who seemed to be familiar with Isshiki.

After thinking for a moment, I remembered that this man was the young man who greeted Ogata on the "Big Trial Match". His name seemed to be Shibata.

"Long time no see, Miss Isshiki."

Chuguang greeted Isshiki softly, and rushed forward one by one, unbuttoning the cloth that was blocking Isshiki's mouth.

Isshiki also responded quickly.

As soon as the cloth strip was removed from her mouth, she immediately asked Chuguang:

"How is my family now?"

Chu Guang: "…"

In the face of Isshiki's question, Hatsune did not answer.

After pursing her lips, she said in a calm tone:

"Miss Isshiki, I'm here to set you free."

"Now those in the Toyotomi Army no longer need to seek information about Ogata Ichitosai from the population of the Isshiki family... and there is no time left to find the Isshiki family."

"At present, almost all the manpower has been used to hunt down Ogata Ichitosai."

"You're safe now, so there's no need to keep you here any longer."

"Hurry up and grab these things."

Chuguang winked at Shibata behind him.

Shibata immediately took out a package from nowhere in a very conspicuous manner.

"This package contains food, water, a dagger and some money."

"It won't be long here, and it will be affected by the fire, so get out of here quickly."

"It's better to just leave Osaka, Osaka is very dangerous right now."

"Mother-in-law, pack up your luggage and get out of here!" Chuguang turned his head and shouted to the old woman who was waiting outside the room, who had been taking care of Isshiki these days, "If you stay here, you will be burned to death. !"

"Escape?" Isshiki's beautiful eyes widened, "Then what about my family? How is my family now? Answer me quickly!"

"And what happened to Ichitosai-sama? What did you mean when you said 'almost all the manpower was used to hunt down Ogata Ichitosai'?"

Chu Guang: "…"

Chu Guang fell silent.

After a while, she raised her eyes and met Isshiki with a complex gaze that was indescribable in words.

His face was full of hesitation.

"...Your family...was removed a few days ago."

In the end—Chuguang seemed to have given up thinking and struggling, and the hesitation on his face turned into apologetic helplessness.

She lowered her gaze, not looking at Isshiki.

"Where was it moved...I don't know."

"I don't know where your family is now, nor what's going on with your family now..."

"I just know that they must not be in Osaka now."

"As for Ogata Ichitosai... He is being chased by the Toyotomi army, and his whereabouts are unknown."

After finishing these big words in one breath, Isshiki slowly raised his eyes and looked into Isshiki's eyes.

At this time, Isshiki Flower... seemed to have lost his soul.

She stared round a pair of beautiful eyes, and her expression was dull.

"...I will do my best to find your family and keep your family safe."

After Chu Guang muttered in such a low voice, he silently untied the rope that tied Isshiki to the wooden post.

The rope was unfastened and the body regained its freedom the next moment, Ishiki Flower immediately rushed towards Chu Guang like a hungry tiger, and pressed Chu Guang on the tatami with Isshiki on top and Chu Guang down.

Shibata, who was startled by the violent Isshiki flower, subconsciously wanted to push the Isshiki flower away, but was stopped by Chu Guang's eyes.

"Those guys who took away my family... Who are they?! Why is my family suffering such a thing inexplicably?!"

Isshiki roared at the first light with her red eyes on top.

With a calm face, Chu Guang silently endured Isshiki's emotional catharsis.

"...I will do my best to ensure the safety of your family so that your family can return to Osaka safely."

After repeating what he just said, Chu Guang continued:

"Hurry up and take this cloth bag and get out of here."

"Don't go back to your house yet."

"I saw the direction of your house just now... The fire is very heavy..."

"Your home... should be gone by now."

As if she had lost her strength, Isshiki slowly let go of the hands that pressed Chu Guang on the tatami, leaned back, and slumped on the ground.

Chu Guang slowly stood up.

"Leave Osaka quickly. Come back in a while."

"We still have a lot of work to do. So let's say goodbye."

"I wish you... a safe journey."

After leaving these words and the cloth bag full of food, water, and money, Hatsumi led Shibata and strode away from Isshiki.

In the house, there were only Isshiki Hana, who was slumped on the ground, and the old woman who was busy packing her luggage.

…

…

"I can't… remember how I got out of the house where I was locked up for days."

Isshiki's story continues.

"That first light said to me: My home is gone now."

"I didn't expect that she was actually right."

Isshiki showed a dry smile that was ugly even when she cried.

"How could I ignore my own home..."

"After leaving the house where I had been locked up for days, I immediately went home."

"As a result, after I went back... I couldn't see my home anymore, I could only see the houses that were swallowed up by the spreading fire..."

"I was already... I didn't know where else I could go, who else I could find, and what else I could do."

"The only thing I can think of that I can do... is to pray to the Buddha..."

Isshiki slowly clenched her hands that were resting quietly on her legs, and then slowly turned her gaze to the wooden Buddha statue next to her.

"I can't think of anything else I can do other than pray to the Buddha and ask him to keep my family safe..."

"That's why I came to this Buddhist temple that I often come to."

"And then, I met you here."

"The whereabouts of the family are unknown, the house was set on fire, and after so many bad things, I finally met a happy thing."

After all, Isshiki Hana Chong Ogata showed a smile that finally looked better.

Ogata has been listening quietly to Isshiki's story about what happened to her.

As Isshiki Hana spoke, Ogata's expression changed several times.

After learning that Chuguang and Shibata, who had a relationship with him, were not ordinary musicians and bodyguards, as well as Isshiki's family members were captured by the Toyotomi army, and the reason for capturing them was because Feng Ogata's expression changed a few times after the people in his army knew that the Isshiki family had a relationship with Ogata.

—So… Miss Isshiki and the others were implicated by me…

—The Toyotomi Army and the Iga Ninja...

The fog that had been shrouded in Ogata's mind since tonight suddenly dissipated.

He finally knew who the enemy who had been haunting him all night was.

"Ah, do you want to drink water?"

Isshiki Hana said to Ogata while smiling at this time.

"I see that your lips are dry. There is a lot of water in the cloth bag that Chuguang gave me. Let me get you some water."

After she finished speaking, Isshiki stood up, ready to pick up the cloth bag that she just tossed aside.

"...Miss Isshiki."

"Ok?"

Isshiki Hana, who was suddenly stopped by Ogata, stopped in her footsteps.

Ogata raised his gaze and looked directly into Isshiki's eyes—

"I will definitely save all your family members."

No complicated words were said.

There was no tone of voice that used to be loud.

All he has is a firmness like a rock.

Isshiki opened her eyes in surprise.

The smile on his face converged at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In an instant, his eyes filled with tears.

Isshiki opened her mouth repeatedly, she seemed to want to speak, but what she wanted to say could not be translated into words.

"These days, you must be very hard and uneasy."

"But it's all right."

"Wherever your family is held right now, I will rescue your family and make the guys who took your family pay their dues."

"I promise you that."

The whereabouts of her family are unknown, and the house was engulfed by fire. Isshiki, who has been alone and in unease, vented the uneasiness she had accumulated in one breath.

Like a helpless child, she flew into Ogata's arms again, crying bitterly in Ogata's arms.

Ogata lowered his eyes, looked apologetically at the Isshiki flower in his arms, and slowly closed his eyes.

After opening his eyes again, fierce rays of light shot out from his pupils.

At this moment, neither Ogata nor Isshiki had found it—the area of ​​the purple skin on Ogata's left neck has become much smaller...

…

…

Osaka, somewhere—

"Osaka is really miserable now..."

Shibata, who stood on the roof of a private house with Chuguang, said with emotion.

Looking up, there are fire lights all around.

"The luck of the misfortune is that there is no strong wind tonight." Chu Guang said lightly, "If there is a strong wind tonight, the fire will take advantage of the wind and the wind will help the fire, and the casualties in Osaka will be even heavier."

"But even so... Now almost one-sixth of Osaka has been devoured by the fire..." Shibata let out a long sigh, "Miss Hatsune, what should we do now?"

"There must be many citizens who haven't had time to escape from Osaka." Hatsumi said, "Anyway - let's do our best to help as many Osaka citizens as possible."

"It's hard..." Shibata said with a wry smile, "If people find out that we're not doing the right thing, but saving people everywhere..."

Before Shibata's words were finished, Chu Guang smiled and interrupted Shibata's words:

"So we have to be careful."

"Didn't the two of us come this way all the time? Carefully disguise ourselves so that no one will find out that the two of us are constantly thinking about how to make Toyotomi and Iga completely disappear into the long river of history."

Shibata Han smiled and scratched his head: "That's right..."

At this moment, Shibata paused.

"Then... what about Ogata Ichitosai? Are we going to try to find him?"

"...If possible, I also want to help that Ogata Ichitosai." Hatsumi said slowly, "But Osaka is so big, we have nowhere to find him."

"Let's make saving people the first priority now."

"While saving people, look for Ogata Ichitosai by the way."

"Maybe I happened to find him when I was saving people."

"If you find him, help him as much as possible."

"If you can't find it... you can only hope that he will be blessed."

"Okay..." Shibata nodded, "I see."

"Let's go to the fire scene over there first." Chuguang turned his gaze to a block not far away that had been engulfed by the fire. "There may be some citizens trapped by the flames and come out..."

Woo-!

boom!

The roar and the faint air waves shook the hem of Chu Guang's lower body, which looked like a short skirt, and fluttered slightly.

Woo-!

Woo-!

Woo-!

…

boom!

boom!

boom!

…

The sharp sound of breaking wind and the loud explosion sounded one after another.

"Fa, what happened?" Shibata panicked.

After a brief shock, Chuguang followed the sound with a sullen face to the direction where the voice came from—Osaka Port.

"A naval gun..." Chu Guang bit her teeth.

…

…

Osaka, Port of Osaka, on the sea outside the port—

boom! boom! boom! boom…

Smudges of red light flickered on the sea outside Osaka Port.

This is the light when the cannon fires.

The dark sea churned and roared wildly.

Two imperial sailing battleships were arranged in a neat "one-word serpent" and fired at the port of Osaka.

One after another huge shells flew out of the gun barrels, crossed a beautiful parabola, and landed on the port of Osaka, or the ships docked in the port of Osaka.

In the blink of an eye, the Port of Osaka was plunged into a sea of ​​fire.

The flames from the explosion of the shells illuminated the entire port of Osaka and the surrounding area. The buildings in the port and the ships in the port disappeared. They were smashed, ground and torn to pieces by the artillery fire.

"Ah... what a... beautiful night view..."

Toyotomi Nobuhide, who was standing on the side of a certain battleship, held the purple-handled knife hanging on his left waist with his left hand and the railing on the side of the ship with his right hand. A more radiant, more "red" Osaka.

Round after round of shelling, the deck of the battleship was filled with thick smoke and heavy fog from cannons, the air became spicy and pungent, and the smoke of gunpowder made a strange smell in the mouth, but Toyotomi Nobuhide remained calm.

"Mr Smith."

Toyotomi Nobuhide turned his head and smiled at a blond white man standing behind him:

"Thank you so much."

Toyotomi Nobuhide patted the railing of the ship's side. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

"You're the best arms dealer I've ever seen!"

"Hahaha." Smith greeted Toyotomi Shinxiu with a Western-style salute, "This is mainly because of your amazing financial resources, Lord Toyotomi!"

"But I don't understand something." Toyotomi Nobuhide shrugged, then moved his right hand away from the railing.

At the position where his right hand was just now, a red crescent moon was painted.

"It's okay if you paint a red crescent moon on your guns and cannons. Why do you have to engrave a red crescent moon on a ship?"

"Oh! Lord Toyotomi, Hongyue is the crest of our family, similar to yours."

"It's my habit and persistence to have our family crest on all the weapons I sell."

"Please forgive and tolerate my little habit."

Having said that, Smith once again saluted Toyotomi Nobuhide.

"Okay." Toyotomi Nobuhide put his hand on the railing again, "Anyway, the weapon is easy to use."

"Lord Toyotomi!"

A petite young man rushed towards Toyotomi at this time.

"Osaka Port and all ships in Osaka Port have been destroyed!"

"Very good." Toyotomi Nobuhide nodded, then raised his hand and patted the petite young man's shoulder, "Hashube, you've done a great job. I was worried that you might not be able to bring the warship over before tonight. ."

"Looks like I'm overthinking it."

"Osaka is so lively tonight." Kasuga blushed with excitement, "How can I and my two battleships be absent?"
