I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

　　 "Master." Qihara said, "Please bear with me. We are now in the castle town, and we will be back to the city soon."

　　 "No." Genuchi Matsudaira refused without even thinking, "I want to drink hot tea now."

　　As early as Matsudaira Genai had not become the new name of Hirose clan, Nanahara served as the guard of Matsudaira Genai.

　　 Having spent so long with Matsudaira Genuchi, Nanahara has long been accustomed to the character of Matsudaira Genuchi, who has a heavy tongue, and suddenly wants to eat and drink.

　　 At the same time, he was accustomed to the insistence of Matsuhira Genai to eat now and drink now, which is quite unreasonable.

　　 "...I understand." Qihara said, "We will try our best to make hot tea for you as fast as possible..."

Before 　　 Nanahara's words were finished, Matsuhira Genuchi interrupted:

　　 "No need. I have found a way to drink hot tea."

　　 While saying this, Genai Matsudaira cast his gaze somewhere in front of him.

　　 Nanahara followed the gaze of Genai Matsudaira.

　　 At the end of the line of sight, there is a sword hall with lights facing outwards.

　　 hung on the plaque beside the gate of the sword hall, which read-Sakihara sword hall.

　　 Hirose Clan, Kuranaga’s mansion——

　　 Kuranaga and Ogata walked in a corridor of the mansion one after another.

　　 the accompanying person, and the flying ape.

　　 Flying Monkey followed closely behind Kurunaga's side, and walked slightly ahead of Ogata.

Just now, after Kuranaga said, "Take you to see how the women in Miaochang Village have been treated by Matsudaira Genouchi", he led Ogata out of the room with Flying Monkey, and walked towards the depths of the mansion. go with.

　　 Kuranaga and Ogata remained silent, and none of them spoke.

　　 Ogata only followed Kuranaga in silence.

　　 Despite the apparent silence, Ogata's heart is not peaceful.

　　 He is constantly imagining what he might see later, and imagining how the women in Miao Zhang Village have been tortured by Matsuhira Gennai...

　　 When I think of some horrible sights I might see later, I can feel goose bumps all over my body...

　　 At this moment, Kurunaga, who was walking in front of Ogata, suddenly asked Ogata behind him:

　　 "Ogata-kun...Have you ever read the "Historical Records" written by Takato Taishigō?"

　　 "Read some..."

　　 Although Ogata didn't understand why Kuranaga asked him this question for no reason, Ogata answered it honestly.

　　 Although Ogata has not read the "Historical Records" thoroughly, before coming to this Edo period, Ogata still read several articles in "Historical Records" from Chinese textbooks.

　　 "Then...Ogata-kun, do you know Renyu...? It is the one recorded in the "Historical Records · Empress Dowager Lu Benji" compiled by Taishi Gong..."

　　 "Slightly heard..."

　　 Hearing this question of Kuranaga, a strong and extremely unclear premonition emerged in Ogata's heart and swelled frantically.

　　 At this time, Kuranaga just stopped in front of a paper sliding door.

　　 Kuranaga looked at the paper sliding door in front of him with a complicated expression, then turned around and looked at Ogata.

　　 "Ogata-kun... Hearing this question I just asked, you should have already guessed something..."

　　 "The old master is a person who pays great attention to the cultivation of Sinology."

　　 "While he was still alive, he forced the lord to read various Chinese books, mainly including the Four Books, Five Classics, and the history books of Tang Dynasty."

　　 "However... when he was reading these Chinese books, he was not influenced by the words of the saints, nor did he realize any special feelings from the history books."

　　 "Instead... I also knew something that he shouldn't have known..."

　　 "The Lord, in the process of reading "Historical Records", accidentally learned about the existence of Renyu..."

　　 "Since then, the lord has developed a strong interest in people..."

　　 "And he is only interested in women who are women. So whenever the lord has a chance, he will make women who have made mistakes..."

　　 "Women in Miao Zhang Village...no matter how old or young, they have been made into human beings by the lord..."

"and many more!"

　　 Ogata hurriedly raised his hand and signaled Kuragara to stop.

　　 "My eldest man...Stop talking...I can't listen anymore..."

　　 Just listening to what Kuranaga said just now, Ouji felt dizzy, and a strong nausea continued to rise from Ogata’s stomach, making him nauseous...

　　 Looking at Ogata, who was pale and raised his hand to cover his mouth, Kuranaga lightly sighed.

　　 "...After the lord was tired of seeing and playing with these poor women, he threw them out of the city at will."

　　 "If they are allowed to die in the wild like this, I really can't bear it."

　　 "So I took them back to my mansion and adopted them..."

　　 "They are behind this sliding paper door now..."

　　 Kuranaga glanced at the paper sliding door next to him.

　　 "Ogata-kun... If you want to take a look at them and are mentally prepared, just pull the door and go in..."

　　 "I will not force you to go in. If you don't want to see it, you don't have to go in..."

　　 After that, Kuranaga withdrew half a step back and gave Ogata a avenue leading to the paper sliding door.

　　 Looking at the paper sliding door in front of him, Ogata only felt that his heart was beating wildly at a speed that rarely appeared.

　　 also began to secrete fine cold sweat on his forehead...

　　 Before the Edo period, ~www.wuxiahere.com~Ogata learned about people from various channels such as books and the Internet.

　　 Ogata just read the introduction of people, and Ogata feels his scalp is numb and dare not think about it...

　　 Entering the door or not entering the door——A ​​fierce ideological struggle is going on in Ogata's mind.

　　 In the end, Ogata decided—to reach out to the handle of the paper sliding door in front of him.

　　 The paper sliding door was slowly opened by Ogata.

　　The light ran down the opened door and into the dim room.

　　 Ogata walked into the room slowly, but because his eyes were not used to the darkness for a while, he could not see the scene in the room in time.

　　 After his eyes got used to the dim environment, Ogata finally saw everything in the room.

　　 This is a fairly spacious room with a bed of futon.

　　 Most of the quilts bulged unnaturally, it was obvious-someone was lying in these quilts.

　　 There are 6 maids either squatting beside some bedding, or walking between each bedding.

　　 After seeing the stranger Ogata suddenly break into the room, the six maids immediately cast surprised and vigilant eyes at Ogata.

　　 When one of the six maids wanted to question who Ogata was, he saw Kuranaga who followed Ogata into the room.

　　 Kuragara motioned to these maids not to speak out, so the maids could only resist the urge to question who Ogata was, and allowed Ogata to scan everything in the house with stunned and shocked eyes.

　　 After scanning everything in the house, a shocking sight directly blocked Ogata's gaze.

　　 There is a "person" lying on a futon not far from Ogata.

　　 Because this "person" is not covered with a quilt like other people, Ogata can clearly see what this "person" looks like.
