I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

At that time... Jijiu really considered for a long time in his heart whether to let Chuguang go...

But in the end, he chose—holding Chuguang, and swimming back to the shore temporarily...

Compared with swimming back to Rihui Maru, swimming to the coast is undoubtedly much easier - because of the help of the waves.

Rihui Maru has not completely moved away from the coast, so the waves in the sea area near Rihui Maru are all hitting the coast, and you can easily swim back to the coast with just the push of the waves.

After swimming to the shallows where his feet could touch the ground, Ji Jiu grabbed Chuguang's collar with both hands and dragged Chuguang to the shore.

While dragging Chuguang, Jijiu asked himself over and over again: "What the hell am I doing?".

——Am I... saving Chuguang...?

He swooped and hugged Chuguang who fell into the sea, and instead of killing Chuguang in the sea, he dragged Chuguang back to the shore... Recalling the actions he did just now... It's hard to say The emotions popped up in Ji Jiu's mind.

——I'm really... crazy...!To spend so much effort to save such a person who has betrayed me...

After cursing himself "crazy" in his heart, Ji Jiu finally dragged Chuguang away from the sea and onto a safe land.

——Okay... From now on, let Chuguang fend for himself here alone.

Ji Jiu lowered his eyes and stared at Chu Guang at his feet with complicated eyes for a while, then raised his eyes and looked at the second ship that was about to disappear from the rain in the distance.

——I have to find a way to get back to the ship quickly...

——Toyotomi-sama...you must not die casually.

A pair of naturally hanging hands were slowly clenched by Ji Jiu at this moment.

……

……

(How? Jijiu, how are you thinking about the proposal I told you earlier?)

(...Nobuhide Toyotomi, you are really haunted. I have told you many times: Don't come, right?)

(Even if you drive me away 100 times, I will come for the 101st time, because I really want you to lead all Iga no Sato to cooperate with me.)

(Heh... In that case, let me reject you again: please come back, we will not cooperate with you.)

(Can you tell me the reason? Every time I asked you the reason before, you were vague. If you can't give me a reason that can convince me, I won't just give up on recruiting you so simply.)

(The reason why I didn't tell you the reason before was just to save you some face... Anyway, since you want to know the reason so much, then I will tell you why.)

(Say, I'm all ears.)

(Don't you think it's absurd to say "overthrow the Edo shogunate and rebuild the world of Toyotomi"? Do you know how powerful the Edo shogunate is? Do you know how many troops and how many people the Edo shogunate has? Money? Do you see that little dead branch growing on that cliff over there?)

(Well, I see.)

(Do you think there is a way for a person to step on that tiny dead branch with two feet without breaking it?)

(Hmm...it shouldn't be possible.)

(Yes! To defeat the Edo shogunate is like trying to step on that dead branch without breaking it. It is impossible to succeed! Do you think I may bring my subordinates, It's completely impossible to do this with you... Hey! What are you doing! Hey! Come back!)

(Ohhh... after I put two feet on the dead branch, the dead branch broke immediately.)

(Are you crazy?! Well done, why did you suddenly step on that dead branch! If I hadn’t caught you just in time, you would have fallen off the cliff and died!)

(Hahahahaha, it really is very simple.)

(……ha?)

(Jijiu, you see, although it is indeed quite difficult not to step on the dead branch, but ah - standing on the edge of the cliff, stretching your feet to this dead branch, and taking a step towards the sky, it is not So hard.)

(...Hey, many people must have said that you are out of your mind, right?)

(Hahaha, indeed many people have said that I am a crazy lunatic.)

(...You are such a strange person...It is almost noon, come with me, I will treat you to lunch, and please come back after the meal.)

……

……

Jijiu looked around, looking for any equipment around him that could help him cross the sea.

But at this moment——out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse: on his right hand side, there were several figures shaking.

Turning his head to look, a look of surprise immediately climbed up Ji Jiu's eyes.

"...ha." Yoshihisa shook his shoulders and let out a low laugh, "Who am I talking about, it turns out... is Kinoshita Genichi's accomplice..."

……

……

After seeing clearly the face of the old man... that is, Ji Jiu, the expressions of A-Ming and others suddenly changed.

Needless to say, Shibata, who is the "former Iga ninja", and Xuanzheng, who was once an important member of the Toyotomi clan.

A Machi, Azuki, Asai, and Shimada all participated in the "Battle of Ryusui Temple" in Osaka last night.

They all remembered the old man in front of them.

Remember this old man... is the leader of Iga no Sato who has the "power of immortality" in his body!

The body moved immediately subconsciously - Asai and Shimada quickly pulled out the swords at their waists, and Azuki also pulled out her Wakizawa.

And A-Ming put his hands into her arms, ready to take out her pistol all the time.

"Miss Chuguang!" Shibata yelled in horror at Chuguang who was lying at Yoshihisa's feet.

While discovering Yoshihisa, Atachi and the others also noticed that the girl lying at Yoshihisa's feet was Hatsumi who was supposed to follow Ogata and the others to fight against Toyotomi on the battleship.

Although the distance was a little far away, it was impossible to take a closer look at Chuguang's current situation, but he could see that Chuguang's breathing was fairly stable, so he could be sure that she was fine.

"Oh... Who am I talking about..." Yoshihisa glanced at Shibata, "Isn't this Shibata... Huh, besides you... there is another acquaintance."

Ji Jiu raised his gaze slightly, and looked at Xuanzheng standing behind Shibata.

"...Xuanzheng, as expected, you told Ogata Yidousai and Kinoshita Genichi the location of the dock."

Just now, when he saw that the old man standing on the shore was actually Ji Jiu, Xuanzheng immediately showed astonishment—but this astonishment only lasted for a moment, and then turned into a meaningful smile.

"Long time no see, Jijiu." Xuanzheng shook his shoulders, and smiled, "I remember I told Toyotomi Nobuhide before? 'I can't accept stopping the research on the power of immortality no matter what' .”

"I gave up everything I had."

"Status, money, status...and apprentices. I abandoned everything for the sake of studying the 'power of immortality'."

"As a result - just because of an order from Toyotomi, the research on 'Undead Power' was completely stopped."

The meaningful smile on Xuanzheng's face slowly disappeared and turned into resentment and ferocity.

"After knowing that Toyotomi will not restart the research on the 'power of immortality', I made up my mind: no matter what, I will not just swallow my anger like this!"

"...It seems that I should have killed you in the first place, a guy who has nothing in his eyes except 'research'." Ji Jiu's face sank slightly, and he looked away from Xuanzheng. Turning to A-Ming and the others, he looked at the faces of A-Ming and the others one by one.

"...Heh, there are really some...faces that I saw once in Longshui Temple last night."

After saying that, Ji Jiu stretched his hand into his bosom.

From his arms, he took out his short gun that could be folded into several sections.

The author wants to make a big chapter today, but what a pity that I had to chat with a certain girl last night and today during the day, which delayed the time qaq

Ruanrou Township is indeed a tomb of heroes. 12965/10320149

Chapter 737 "Battle of Sannin", Acho, Azuki vs Yoshihisa [6200]

Ogata Isai, Kinoshita Genichi and their accomplices, as well as Shibata, a traitor Yoshihisa who obviously betrayed him with Chuguang, couldn't think of a reason to turn a blind eye to these people.

Yoshihisa was not at all surprised that Shibata was here. This person and Hatsumitsu had always been partners. The sight of Shibata and Ogata's companions standing together was only within Yoshihisa's expectation.

For Yoshihisa, the most urgent thing right now is to rush back to Hikki Maru to aid Toyotomi, there is no doubt about it.

If you jump back into the sea and swim back to Hikimaru without "cleaning up" the companions of Ogata Isai and Kinoshita Genichi on the shore, you will most likely be attacked from behind by these people.

Last night at Ryusui Temple in Osaka, Yoshihisa could see very clearly that the woman with a well-developed bear part and wearing a Shiranui Ri Ninja outfit had superb firearm skills and was able to launch long-distance precise shooting.

Although the current rain does not seem like the weather that can use firearms, Yoshihisa decided to "clean up" all of these companions of Ogata Isai and Kinoshita Genichi in order to be cautious. Feel free to jump back into the sea and rush back to Rihui Pill.

The enemy has already drawn out its weapons, needless to say.

Standing at the forefront, Asai quietly put the knife in his hand to the upper right section, and put on a posture of showing off.

"Shimada, Shibata." He whispered to his companions behind him, "I'll be in charge of the frontal containment later, and the two of you will wait for opportunities to attack on the left and right sides."

"Ms. Azuki and Ms. Acho. The two of you are in charge of supporting from a distance."

"Miss Atachi, you have to cheer up, I will try my best to get you the best shooting opportunity."

When A-Machi's name was called, Asai especially emphasized his tone.

The attentive A-Machi naturally noticed the slight change in Asai's tone when she called her name.

Reminiscent of Asai's last sentence "I will try my best to get the best shooting opportunities for you", A-Machi nodded understandingly.

"Senior Asai..." At this time, after Asai gave this series of instructions, Shimada, the "defeatist strategist", swallowed hard, "Isn't this guy from Iga no Sato who has the power of immortality?" The leader? Can we win?"

"Shimada." Asai's mouth curled up with a faint smile on his handsome face, "Do you know an ancient motto passed down from generation to generation in our Satsuma show?"

"When fighting with people, you don't need to think about winning or losing these messy things."

Having said that, Asai paused.

Take a deep breath.

Build up your energy.

Then, shouting in Satsuma dialect:

"It's okay to go hard!" Translation: It's right to go hard!

Note: The dialect of the Satsuma region of Japan is very different from the Japanese standard language. The difference between the two is similar to the difference between Wenzhou dialect and Mandarin.In order to allow you to understand the difference between the Satsuma dialect and standard Japanese more intuitively, this book decides to use the Cantonese that the author is more familiar with to express the Satsuma dialect

After shouting "Take it hard" that no one at the scene understood, Asai, who didn't see any timidity on his face, raised his sword high, and rushed towards Jijiu fearlessly like one man guarding the gate!

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!"

While rushing towards Yoshihisa, Asai opened his mouth wide, releasing the core technique in the showmanship: "monkey call".

The huge cry directly suppressed the surrounding wind, rain, and waves.

Note ape call: a special kind of Qihe sound in Satsuma's Shixianliu, the sound is very loud and terrifying, and often some timid people are confronted with the master of Shixianliu by the ape cry from the opposite side scared to pee pants

After Asai launched the charge, Shimada and Shibata couldn't help being stunned for a few moments before finally recovering, gritted their teeth, raised their weapons, and followed Asai to charge.

Hearing Asai's phrase "Take it hard" just now, and the classic "monkey call" now, Yoshihisa immediately recognized the identity of Asai Satsuma.

"Satsuma Hayato? Huh, Satsuma's bravery is truly well-deserved." Looking at Asai who was attacking him, Jijiu raised his mouth slightly, and there was a little more appreciation in his eyes looking at Asai.

Note Satsuma Hayato: A good name for a Satsuma boy.The Satsuma people are notoriously brave and aggressive. In the eyes of people in other parts of ancient Japan, the Satsuma people are the name of the fighting nation. This is one of the important reasons why the Edo shogunate has always been so afraid of the Satsuma clan.

Asai, who rushed straight over while screaming "monkey", is indeed full of momentum, but Yoshihisa, who has experienced many battles, immediately saw Asai's strong outside and middle-class.

Although Asai has been enduring the pain in the waist and abdomen, trying to make his movements look more normal, Yoshihisa can still see that Asai's waist and abdomen are not lightly injured at a glance.

At the same time, he also saw that Shimada had a leg injury.

Of the 5 people, are 2 of them seriously injured?

The opponent in front of him is much weaker than Ji Jiu imagined.

However, Ji Jiu did not show any carelessness.

With a tense face and a solemn expression, Ji Jiu shook his hands, quickly assembled the gun in his palm, lowered his body's center of gravity, and set up a stance.

After the white blade flashed and stepped into the distance where his own knife could hit Yoshihisa, Asai immediately took advantage of the momentum of the forward charge and slashed down heavily on Yoshihisa's Tianling cover.

Although Yoshihisa had consumed a lot of stamina when he fought Genichi on Hikimaru and rescued Hatsumitsu in the sea, it was more than enough to deal with Asai who was already injured.

Ji Jiu flashed half a step sideways with the attack, dodged Asai's knife and launched a counterattack at the same time, flicked the end of the gun, and hit Qianjing's vitals.

Asai originally wanted to retreat and dodge, but Yoshihisa's blow was so fast that it was really hard to dodge.

In desperation, Asai could only retract the saber and stand it up, hold his breath, use all his strength, and prepare to take Yoshihisa's blow hard.

Although Asai has a handsome face and a very slender figure, he is actually a "powerful" swordsman just like Mucun.

He is obviously good at strength, but after Ji Jiu's spear butt hit his sword, his expression immediately changed drastically.
