I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

　　 Ogata couldn’t refuse Kurunaga’s invitation.

　　 After all, this is the invitation of the second commander of Hirose clan.

　　Except for Matsudaira Genouchi, Ogata's highest boss.

　　 Plus-Ogata also has a lot of questions to ask Kuranaga.

　　 And this sudden invitation by Kuranaga is a great opportunity to question Kuranaga's various questions face to face.

　　 So-Okinawa accepted Kuranaga's invitation.

　　Before coming to Kurunaga’s mansion, Ogata did not forget to detour the Sakura Sword Museum, telling his brothers that he would be at a dinner later tonight.

　　 "Ogata-kun, I'm very sorry."

　　 Kuranaga suddenly leaned over to apologize to Ogata.

　　 "I've heard about it just now-you still have a very important banquet to attend tonight, right?"

　　 "Because of me, you have to postpone the dinner time. I'm really sorry."

　　As early as yesterday, Kuranaga learned from Flying Monkey that Ogata was going to attend a very important banquet tonight.

　　 But for his own personal interests, Kuranaga decided to proceed according to the original plan, summoning Ogata into the prefecture tonight, wronged Ogata, and forced Ogata to postpone the time of the dinner.

　　 Ogata sighed silently.

　　 "Old man, you don't need to apologize."

　　 "If you have something important to say to me, please, but it’s okay to say it. I’ll listen carefully."

　　 Kuranaga straightened up and sorted out the clothes on his body.

　　 "Since Ogata-kun, you still have an important banquet to attend tonight, then don't waste time, just get straight to the point."

　　 Kuranaga raised his eyes.

　　 looked straight into Ogata's eyes with a very serious gaze.

　　 "...Ogata-kun, would you like to be an executioner?"

　　 This room was immersed in the weird silent atmosphere for a long time before Ogata’s "ha" finally broke the silent atmosphere.

　　 "...Huh?" Ogata looked at Kuranaga, who was still holding a serious face, with a stunned look.

　　 Kuranaga's solemn expression declared-what he said just now was not a joke, he was quite serious.

　　 Executioner-Although this word is unfamiliar to Ogata, he also understands the meaning of this word.

　　 "The executioner... did you want me to kill someone?"

　　 "That's right." Kuranaga nodded.

　　 "Who do you want me to kill?"

　　 "Matsuhira Genuchi."

"……what?"

　　 This is Ogata’s second sound of "ha" with complex emotions, mainly astonishment and shock.

　　Of course Ogata knows who Matsuhira Genouchi is.

　　 At this time, Ogata wondered if he had heard it wrong.

　　 "...My eldest man, who do you want me to kill?" Ogata repeated this question again in a cautious tone.

　　 and Kuranaga also repeated his answer just now:

　　 "Matsuhira Genuchi."

　　 seems to be trying to convince Ogata that he heard it right, after a pause, Kuranaga added:

　　 "I hope you can help us to assassinate the Daimyo Hirose clan, our lord, Genchi Matsudaira."

　　 Hirose Clan, somewhere in the dense forest.

　　 "I'm so lucky today..."

　　 A pale and crippled young man said in a calm and indifferent tone.

　　 "At the end of the day, I didn't even kill a prey."

　　 This young man is sitting on top of a samurai.

　　 This samurai put his hands and knees on the muddy ground, turning his back into a "chair".

　　 And this pale youth sat on the samurai's back with such a carefree gesture.

　　 Even though the samurai under his crotch has been sweating from fatigue and his hands and legs have begun to tremble slightly, the pale youth sitting on his back has no intention of understanding him.

　　 This young man sits on the back of a samurai.

　　 A piece of samurai was kneeling down on one knee in front of him.

　　 These samurai are all personal guards of this young man.

　　 there are 113 people.

　　 Every time he goes out hunting, this young man will bring out his 113 guards, so that these 113 guards will protect him personally when he hunts.

　　 This young man is exactly the current daimyo of the Hirose Clan who came to hunt today-Matsudaira Genouchi.

　　 After hearing this complaint from the source of Matsudaira for not being able to hit the prey, many guards began to sweat thinly on their faces.

　　 At the same time, they were also afraid that their heads, which were already hanging down, were buried lower.

　　 In this posture, it seems that he can't wait to shrink himself into the soil.

　　Because they have seen so many scenes where Matsuhira Gennai is angry at other people because of poor hunting...

　　In order not to be stared at by Matsudaira Genouchi, they had to bury their heads and retract themselves as much as possible...

　　 "...Lord."

　　 A strong samurai who was also kneeling on the ground, but the closest to the source of Matsudaira, said.

　　 "It's dark now. Let's end today's hunting."

　　 This sturdy samurai is the first samurai of their Hirose clan and the personal guard of Genai Matsudaira, Nanahara.

　　 At the same time, he is also one of the few people who can offer some advice to Matsuhira Genai.

　　 Hearing what Nanahara said, Matsudaira Genuchi raised his head and looked at the sky that was almost dark.

"……Let's go back."

　　 After that, Matsuhira Genuchi stood up and walked towards the horse tied next to him.

　　 Seeing that Matsuhira Genuchi finally plans to go back, most of the guards-especially the one who used Matsuhira Genuchi as a "chair", heaved a sigh of relief...

　　 "Assassin...Matsuhira Genouchi...?"

　　 Ogata struggled to spit out every word of this sentence~www.wuxiahere.com~My old man, let me confirm it-is this sentence you just kidding? "

　　 "I'm not joking," Kuranaga said, "I'm pretty serious."

　　 Due to the impact of the huge amount of information, Ogata now feels that his head is going up.

　　 As Ogata raised his hand and rubbed his forehead to soothe his brain, which had been struck by the huge amount of information, Kuranaga said:

　　 "Ogata-kun, although you don't have any chance to contact the lord, you should have heard of the lord's cruelty more or less, right?"

　　 "...I heard it a little bit. I have seen it myself..."

　　 Ogata's mind saw the scene where Matsuhira Gennai was patrolling the warehouse when he accidentally hit Inoue in his arms and killed...

　　 "Although you have heard of the cruelty of the lord, and have seen it by chance, you have not really experienced the cruelty of the lord-this, I can guarantee it."

　　 "For the convenience of telling you about my motives for deciding to assassinate the lord, I decided to let you... meet someone."

　　 After that, Kuragara turned his head and shouted to the outside of the room:

　　 "Flying Ape!"

　　 As soon as Kuranaga’s voice fell, a short, unassuming young man opened the paper sliding door on Ogata’s left side.

　　 "Master." The young man named as Flying Ape by Kuragayo knelt on one knee.

　　 "Help me bring Rigi."

"Yes!"

After 　　 Feiyu responded with a loud voice, he closed the paper sliding door that had just been opened, and disappeared into the sight of Ogata and Kuranaga.

　　 It didn't take long for the flying monkey to return.

　　 The flying ape who came back did not come back alone.

　　 Instead, he came back with a thin boy.
