I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Page 1054

On Chuguang's expression, there was a somewhat helpless expression as if recalling some bad memories.

"My words and deeds not only affect my life and death, but also affect Shibata's safety."

"Sister, if it were you, what would you think after seeing that your long-lost sister seems to have a very close relationship with a group of unknown people with unknown purposes?"

"At that time, I didn't know Ms. Kinoshita, I didn't know Mr. Ogata, I didn't know their identities, and their purpose of opposing Toyotomi. I didn't even know if the sister in front of me was the one I knew before. that sister"

"It is irresponsible to me to recognize you rashly without knowing anything, and it is also irresponsible to Shibata who was also captured by Mr. Kinoshita Genichi and the others at that time."

"It's fine if I die, but I can't implicate me, the only friend I have had since joining Iga no Sato."

"So I pretended not to know you."

"Continue to observe and collect intelligence temporarily as an outsider."

Having said that, Chuguang tightly tightened his arms around A Zhu's body.

"Feel sorry"

The gentle smile on Chuguang's face slowly changed back to a deeply apologetic smile.

"So that's how it is." Chuguang heard the voice of laughing through tears, "Ajiu, you also recognized me the first time you saw me?"

"I'm your younger sister." Chu Guang closed his eyes slightly, imitating A Zhu, resting his chin on A Zhu's shoulder, "Isn't it natural to recognize my own sister?"

Having seen countless storms in Iga no Sato, Hatsumitsu, whose body and mind are far superior to those of his peers, did not cry like a child like Azuki.

But the strength from her arms holding A Zhu forward and backward, silently declared that her heart at this time was not as calm as her face showed.

"I thought you lost your memory, so I didn't recognize me. I was thinking about whether to find a way to restore your memory."

"Sister, although your brain is not smart, you have a rich imagination."

The laughter of the two sisters, along with the sound of the wind, scattered in every corner of the room.

The eyelids felt a dim yellow warmth.

Ogata slowly opened his eyes after being abruptly awakened by the sunlight shining on his body along the open window.

Opening his eyes, the first thing that caught Ogata's eyes was the open window on the left, and the beams of sunlight projected along the window.

After the window and the sunlight, what came into view was a hazy and beautiful figure kneeling on Ogata's right hand.

"Ah, Lord Yidao Zhai, are you awake? Sorry, did I wake you up?"

This beautiful figure turned around and faced Ogata.

Ogata, who had just woken up and was still a little blurry, blinked his eyes vigorously a few times.

Qianying slowly condensed into a specific appearance, like Feng Mo, who has been running spontaneously to take care of everyone these days.

"It's Miss Isshiki." Ogata slowly sat up from the bed, "No need to apologize, you didn't wake me up, I woke up naturally."

After saying that, Ogata turned his head and looked out the window.

"What time is it now?"

"It's almost noon." Isshiki said softly, "Ms. Atachi and Mr. Feng are cooking in the kitchen right now, and we can have lunch in a little while."

"Did you sleep until noon again?" Ogata asked with a wry smile while pinching his neck, which was a little stiff from too much sleep.

These days, Ogata's main way of recuperating is to sleep.

With the "power of immortality", he does not need to ask any doctor for treatment, as long as he rests every day, his body can recover quickly.

"How is your body today?" Yishihua asked with concern.

"Yeah. It's getting better every day." Ogata grasped his right hand a few times, which had turned back to normal skin color, "After resting for another ten or so days, it should be back to normal."

These days, Ogata, who has been living a life of "sleeping until noon and not getting up", has finally recovered from his extremely weak body due to entering the "Yaksha State" and "Selfless State" at the same time. Able to perform simple activities of daily living.

"That's good." After Yishihua smiled softly, she turned her face hard, "Thank you so much for saving my family."

After finishing speaking, Isshiki bent down and made a deep bow to Ogata so that she could clearly see the back of her fair neck.

Looking carefully at Isshiki's face, you can see her eyes, which are still a little red and swollen. They were swollen from crying after seeing her family members return safely.

Because the excited Isshika cried quite hard at that time, so her eyes have not fully recovered until now.

"These days, I can really hear you thanking me every day." Ogata smiled helplessly, "There is no need to thank me."

"To be honest, I didn't make any contribution to the rescue of your family."

"You should thank Mr. Hasegawa the most."

Yishihua listened, sighed, and continued with a bitter face: "Mr. Hasegawa left in such a hurry that I didn't have time to thank him properly, and I don't know if there will be time to thank him specially in the future."

At the beginning, after splitting with Ogata and others and leading his subordinates and Isshiki Naoshu and others back to Osaka, Hasegawa did not leave immediately.

He asked his subordinates to return to Edo first, and at the same time to report safety to the Huofu Thief's settlement, he informed the Edo shogunate that an unknown enemy was planning to raid Edo by boat and strengthen the forces in Edo Bay and inside and outside Edo. guard.

And Hasegawa stayed in Osaka alone, waiting for Ogata and the others to return.

After seeing Ogata and others return, and knowing that the battleship was destroyed and Toyotomi Nobuhide had been executed, Hasegawa left contentedly.

Because Hasegawa left in a hurry at that time, Ogata did not have time to thank Hasegawa for his help in the conquest of the Toyotomi Clan.This made Ogata a little regretful.

"By the way." Yishihua's nice voice sounded again, "Grandpa told me: He wants to meet you again in person in the future, and apologize once again for his despicable behavior of betraying you."

After saying this, a shameful apology appeared between Isshika's brows.

"No need." Ogata smiled casually, "Have I already said it? It's not his fault, but Toyotomi Nobuhide's. Now that the chief culprit has been executed, let's just let this matter go."

After Ogata and others returned to Osaka, Isshiki Naoshu, who had been brooding over his "betrayal", arrested him, his son and daughter-in-law together with the Toyotomi family, and took "Ogata Hui" When did you go to Yonina to pick up the sword?" This important information was informed to Toyotomi, and Ogata was informed.

At that time, he directly said that he wanted to apologize by harakiri, and even took out the knife. Fortunately, Ah-ding, who happened to be there at that time, stopped him in time.

Who made Isshiki Naoshu have to betray Ogata?It was the Toyotomi clan who kidnapped his family and used his family as a threat.

In other words, Toyotomi is the one who should be held accountable.

Ogata, who didn't think Isshiki Naoshu had any need for a seppuku, chose without thinking and let the matter go.

Ogata didn't want to stay on this slightly heavy topic for too long. After looking around, he changed the topic:

"Did you help me scrub the tatami just now?" Ogata looked at the bucket and rag beside Isshiki.

"Yeah." Isshiki nodded softly with a gentle smile on her face again, "Because I saw that the tatami on the floor of your room was a bit dirty, so I fetched some water to scrub it."

"This is the first time I have done this kind of housework."

"Because there are servants in the family, from childhood to adulthood, these housework are basically done by the servants."

"I thought it would be easy to scrub the tatami mats, but it turned out to be surprisingly difficult. I accidentally wet the whole tatami mats."

After saying that, Isshiki lowered her head slightly, showing a shy smile.

This was the first time Ogata had seen her look like this on Isshika's face, which was always stern.

At this moment, wisps of soft sunlight like light dust hit Yishihua's face from outside the window.

Isshiki's already fair skin was covered with a dreamy color under the sunlight.

Seeing Isshiki's beautiful smile, a smile involuntarily appeared on Ogata's face.

However, as soon as a smile flew onto Ogata's cheeks, his smile suddenly froze.

Immediately afterwards, this smile slowly changed into a strange expression.

The reason for such a drastic expression change was all because Ogata suddenly recalled an important event related to Isshiki.

"That, Miss Isshiki." Ogata's eyes flickered slightly.

"Huh?" Isshika noticed the change in Ogata's expression, and slowly put away that shy smile.

"I have something important to tell you."

"important things?"

"Yes" After saying this, Ogata's voice suddenly stopped.

I saw a little hesitation floating between his brows.

After a moment of hesitation grew on Ogata's face, Ogata took a deep breath, relying on "brute force", forcibly suppressed the hesitation between his brows.

"Your reply to what I said that night." Ogata looked straight into Isshika's eyes and said seriously.

Ogata spoke very cryptically.

But even though it was so cryptic, Isshika immediately realized what Ogata's words were referring to just now.

Looking at Ogata who was looking directly at her with a serious face, Isshiki's eyes were slightly rounded, and she stared blankly at Ogata.

Master Yidao Zhai, I like you.

Even though so many days have passed that night, Isshika who thought she was going to die with Ogata in the siege of Saemon and others, the words Ogata said still ring in Ogata's ears

Lips can still recall the feeling of being covered with soft petals.

Since both Ogata and Isshika escaped from the siege of Toyotomi's army, the reason why Ogata did not immediately respond to what Isshika said to him at the beginning was because Toyotomi Nobuhide had not been killed at that time, and Ogata Fang didn't have the leeway to take care of other things.

However, after Toyotomi Nobuhide was killed and the corpse disappeared into the vast ocean, Ogata still did not respond to Isshika in any way.

It's not because Ogata didn't care about Isshiki's confession, so he ignored it.

It might be better to say that on the contrary, Ogata cared a lot about Isshiki's confession, so he didn't know what to do, so he just kept procrastinating.

dragged on until now

Ogata even thought about just procrastinating like this, pretending that Isshika's confession doesn't exist.

But as soon as this thought came to Ogata's mind, he dismissed it by himself.

There's really no way for him to let this matter remain so unclear.

Now, Machi and the others are not in the room.

Here and now, there are only him and Yishihua.

There is no better time to deal with this matter than now

Having made up his mind not to let this matter drag on like this, Ogata, who responded to Isshikika's original confession now, took a deep breath

"Miss Isshiki, I like you very much too."

Ogata tried to force a smile to Isshika.

"I like your beautiful face."

"I also like your strong character."

"but"

Ogata just changed the subject

"Master Yi Dao Zhai."

Ogata felt a gentle touch on his lips. Isshiki raised his right index finger and pressed his lips.

"No need to say much." Isshiki lowered her head, so that Ogata could only see her hair spinning, "The reason why I said I liked you at that time was not because I wanted to get some reply from you."

"It's not to make you like me too."

"Just because I wanted to tell you that."

"I have opened my heart to you, and it is enough for you to know my heart."

"Ever since I met you, I have always noticed the bond between you and Ms. A-Machi."

"Therefore, I know very well what the only answer you can give me is"

"So stop talking about what's next."

"If I continue, I might cry."

Isshiki put on a joking tone.

"If I cry, it will be difficult to coax."

After all, Isshiki raised her head.

She showed Ogata an expression that made people feel heartbroken just by looking at it, and felt like she was going to cry at any moment.

"Miss Isshiki" looked at Isshiki's expression, and Ogata's eyebrows gradually became somewhat ashamed and sad.
