I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Although Imai didn't say clearly that things were ready, Hasegawa heard what Imai's words meant - the iron gunners who broke into the Youkuo just now have all withdrawn from the Youkuo and lined up!

However - before Hasegawa could respond to Imai's yelling, he caught a glimpse of the "Buddhist enemy" in front of him and suddenly turned around...

Then, without any hesitation, he ran towards the direction away from their Huofu Thief Kai.

While running, the "Buddha's Enemy" put the tip of the black knife in his hand back to the sheath of the scabbard on his right waist, and then put the knife back into the sheath. Quickly shrinking his own figure...

"Chase!" Hasegawa gritted his teeth, "Hurry up!"

After all, Hasegawa took the lead in retracting the knife and sheathing it, and then led his subordinates to pursue the fleeing "Buddha's enemy".

"Buddha's enemy" has not been walking on the road.

After Hasede led his subordinates to pursue him, the "Buddhist Enemy" turned to the right, made two "da da" sounds, and rushed to the roofs of the nearby houses, and then carried out the attack on the roofs of the houses. move.

Among Hasegawa and his subordinates, there is no such good skill as "Buddha's Enemy"? He can jump on the roof of the house with such dexterous steps and move among them.

"Shoot!" Hasegawa ordered, "It doesn't matter if you hit 'Buddha Enemy'! Knock him off the roof!"

With Hasegawa's order, his subordinates no longer have any worries.

Those with bows and arrows hold up their bows and arrows? Those with iron guns hold up their iron cannons and shoot at the "Buddha enemies" who are moving on the roofs of various houses...

……

……

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Mamiya and Ogata galloped along a large mountain near Matsucho one after the other.

"Escaping here should be enough..."

Glancing at Mamiya behind him and Ogata, he slowly slowed down while talking.

Ogata looked behind him.

"Who were those guys wearing black uniforms, holding bows and arrows, and holding iron cannons just now..." Ogata asked Mamiya while wiping the sweat off his face.

"Huo Fu Thief Reform." Jian Gong replied? "A yamen that is responsible for catching vicious thieves and arsonists."

"Their current leader is Hasegawa Heizo? He is a very troublesome guy."

"These guys not only have the privilege of drawing knives, but also use bows and arrows, iron cannons and other weapons."

"So they're a special army, right? A special army whose job it is to catch vicious thieves and arsonists."

"Although their main duty is to catch vicious thieves and arsonists? But because of their high skills, they are occasionally sent by the shogunate to catch vicious murderers."

"So—" Ogata grinned. "Are these officials here to arrest me?"

"It's very possible." Mamiya cast a meaningful look at Ogata, "But it's also possible that they didn't come to catch you? Instead, they came to catch the vicious criminal who was also in that tower? It's just that you just happened to Just being there."

"I don't care who those guys want to catch." Ogata waved his hand? "Anyway, whoever they want to catch? It won't affect what I'm going to do next."

"The next thing I have to do remains the same - quickly get my money back, and then leave here quickly. Mamiya, have you successfully found the base camp of the Negishi family?"

"Of course." Mamiya shrugged, "Our luck is quite good - after you entered the pavilion just now, a dwarf ran back to the base camp of their Negishi family to report."

"And I followed that dwarf smoothly and found their base camp all the way."

"Let's go, Ogata-kun. Their base camp is deep in this mountain."

……

……

"did you find it?"

"No, I didn't find..."

"Where is it?"

"nor……"

"Bastard...where is that guy going!"

……

Sounds of communication and scolding similar to this continued to resound throughout Matsudachi.

The "Buddha enemies" who can move on the roof have a much richer route than Hasegawa and the others.

Although all the officials kept tilting arrows and projectiles at the "Buddha Enemy", but because the "Buddha Enemy" was too fast, and the "Buddha Enemy" seemed to have experience in dodging these long-range weapons, they all leaned towards him. None of the arrows and projectiles that came from this project successfully hit the "Buddha's enemy".

"Buddha's enemy" turned, turned, and jumped on the roof.

In an instant, it disappeared from the field of vision of Hasegawa and the others who could only run slowly on the ground...

Chapter 148 The Treasure of Honzoji Temple

Hasegawa was naturally unwilling to let the "Buddha's enemy" run away like this.

Under the order of Hasegawa, the officials of Huofu Bandit Kai scattered in all directions, and scattered all over Matsucho to search for traces of "Buddha's enemies".

However, after a search, the result was fruitless.

"hateful!"

Imai punched heavily at the earthen wall beside him.

"Finally bumped into Buddha's Enemy, and ended up being run away by him!"

Compared with Imai's resentment, Hasegawa's state is much calmer.

"Okay, Imai." Hasegawa said softly, "It's useless to feel aggrieved here. Shouldn't you and I be mentally prepared for how difficult the Buddha's enemies will be?"

"Not only is his swordsmanship superb, but he is also extremely agile. When he is determined to escape, whether to catch him or not depends largely on our luck."

Tachibana was standing beside Hasegawa and Imai at this time.

After the voices of Imai and Hasegawa fell, Tachibana murmured:

"Is he the enemy of Buddha?"

"That's right." Imai turned his head and smiled wryly at Chaotachi, "The guy with the black knife just now is the Buddha's enemy. How? Have you realized how tricky he is?"

"Yeah." Tachibana nodded slightly.

Before the "Buddha's Enemy" escapes, Tachibana and the "Buddha's Enemy" confront each other.

Although it was only a mere move, Tachibana felt that there was an extremely huge gap in the level of swordsmanship between him and the "Buddha Enemy" just by this move.

If Hasegawa hadn't intervened in time just now, otherwise Tachibana was sure that he would not be able to make three moves in front of that "Buddha enemy".

"Buddha's enemy is the most difficult and mysterious thief I have ever seen in Hasegawa's life."

At this moment, Hasegawa on the side answered.

"I don't know his voice, I don't know his appearance, I don't know his age, I don't know what kind of swordsmanship he uses."

"The only thing we know is that he is a left-handed swordsman, using the treasured sword Enmo he stole from Honzoji two years ago."

"Yan Mo?" Tachibana chewed on the word, "Is that the black knife that Buddha's enemy used just now?"

"That's right." Hasegawa nodded, "Two years ago, the Buddhist enemies attacked and burned down the largest temple in Nara, Honzo-ji Temple. They burned Honjo-ji Temple into a sea of ​​flames, and stole the temple enshrined in Honjo-ji Temple. The most precious sword Yan Mo of more than two hundred years."

"Because of his heinous deeds of burning temples and stealing treasures, he was derogated by Buddhists as the reincarnation of Oda Nobunaga, so he was called the enemy of Buddha."

"For the sake of convenience, we have always called him Buddha's enemy, Buddha's enemy."

"This guy not only set fire but also stole treasure. The place where he set the fire was the sacred Honzoji Temple, and the treasures he stole are also rare treasures. He can be regarded as the deadly enemy of our fire robbers."

As soon as Hasegawa's words fell, Imai at the side let out a long sigh:

"It's a pity that it took two years to bring him to justice."

"Imai, take your time." Hasegawa raised his hand and patted Imai's shoulder. "One day we will be able to arrest Buddha's enemy and his subordinates!"

Now that the "Buddha's enemy" had slipped away, Hasegawa had no choice but to accept this fact and gave the order to withdraw the team.

Tachibana, who had been showing hesitation since just now, finally got up the courage to ask Hasegawa:

"Master Hasegawa! Then what about the samurai in light green haori and the spectacled samurai who ran away?"

"Huh? Oh, those two people. Take your time with those two people too."

"I think we'll be able to catch those two soon."

Speaking of this, Hasegawa had an intriguing smile on his face.

"In order to deal with those two guys, I am ready to move back."

In a forest outside Matsumachi.

The "Master of Demonstration Flow" was sitting under a big tree with his knife in his arms.

Sand, sand, sand, sand, sand

The "Master of Demonstration" heard the sound of stepping on the snow coming from his side.

Following the prestige, he saw a familiar figure running towards him.

"Lord!"

The "Master of Showmanship" shouted, while taking off the bamboo hat on top of his head, revealing a handsome face.

"Shallow well."

The "Buddha's Enemy" who had just escaped from the siege of Hasegawa and others said to the "Master of Show Present Flow".

"Sorry, I'm late."

"My lord, are you injured?"

"No. The terrain like Jomachi is good for me. I was not injured, and I managed to get rid of Onhira."

"Lord"

The "Master of Showmanship" or Asai smiled wryly at the "Buddha Enemy" in front of him.

"Please don't do such dangerous things again"

"Do you not believe that I can successfully cut off your heir?"

"No." Asai shook his head. "I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about not risking your life to help a stranger again."

"We are not related to that executioner, so why do we do such a dangerous thing to cover him from escaping?"

"In any case, Huo Fu Thief Kai is an extremely dangerous group of people for us."

"We were able to escape from Huofu Thief Kai this time, but we might not be able to escape next time."

"My lord, I don't think it's worth doing this to help a stranger who is neither relative nor relative."

"Shallow well."

"Buddha Enemy" said softly after being silent for a while.

But his tone was as cold as ever, without any emotion.

"Mamiya is very interested in Ogata Yidaosai."

"And I'm actually very interested in Ogata Ichidousai."

"It would be too boring to let Ogata Yidaosai fall into the hands of Guiping like this."

"Asai, if you are disgusted with helping strangers, then I may consider not letting you do similar tasks in the future."

"Master" Asai showed a wry smile that seemed to be about to cry, "I don't have any opinion on you, it's just"

"Okay, I was just joking just now. Asai, let's go. Go and find something to eat. I just had a fight with Onikihira, and then I ran for so long, I'm hungry."

"It's my lord, we have put in so much effort, what if that Ogata Yidaosai is still arrested?"

"There's nothing we can do, let that Ogata Yidao Zhai ask for more blessings. We've exhausted our benevolence."

Speaking of this, "Buddha Enemy" paused.

As if remembering something, after a long pause, he continued:

"But even if that Ogata Ittosai is arrested now, it won't matter."

"Even if he is caught by Guiping now, he will neither die nor be severely tortured."

"It will only be sent to Jiyi."
