I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

"Island?"

Just when Ogata wanted to continue asking, there was a loud explosion at the end of the corridor outside the cage.

That was the sound of the prison door being pushed open.

Because the gate of this prison is a bit old, it took a lot of effort to push it open, and there was a loud bang every time the door was pushed or pulled.

Therefore, every time someone entered and exited the prison, there would be this noisy sound, and everyone in the prison had already seen it.

Many people thought that it was lunch time and it was time to serve, so they all lay in front of their respective cage doors, waiting for the jailers to bring today's lunch.

However, some people, such as Ogata, frowned slightly.

Because Ogata noticed——it shouldn't be time for dinner yet.

And judging from the loudness of the footsteps, it seems that there are too many people entering the prison this time compared to before...

When Ogata was wondering, Mucun, who lived next door to him, murmured in a low voice that only he could hear clearly:

"Is it time..."

It didn't take long for Ogata's doubts to be answered.

These people who rushed into the prison did not come to deliver food at all.

They didn't hold steaming porridge in their hands.

Instead, they held iron cannons or long guns, and hemp ropes.

And these people who rushed into the prison were not the jailers who met every day in the past.

It was a soldier in battle armor.

These soldiers rushed into the prison at an extremely fast speed, and then filled the corridors of the prison along each corridor of the prison.

Many prisoners were taken aback by these soldiers who broke in suddenly.

Some less courageous people—such as the wretched Mataro who lived opposite Ogata, knelt down on the ground in the posture of Dogeza, kowtowed to the soldiers standing in front of his cage, snotted and burst into tears He pleaded for mercy, one mouthful of "Master Samurai", begging these soldiers to spare his life.

There were also some prisoners who boldly yelled at these soldiers:

"Are you going to kill us all in prison?!"

"Is the current shogunate corrupted like this? They don't take the prisoners to the execution ground anymore, but put the prisoners to death in the prison!"

"Too despicable!"

"I will be like Ping Jiangmen, even if I die, I will curse you forever!"

……

Some prisoners cried, others roared.

Just when the prisoners were all making noise, an angry shout sounded, instantly overpowering all the noises in the prison:

"Stop making noise!!"

The roar of this shout was quite astonishing. All the prisoners, whether they were crying or roaring, were frightened by this shout, and then closed their mouths.

The owner of this angry shout is a middle-aged man with a rather ferocious face.

The brown armor worn by this middle-aged man is quite gorgeous, and he can tell at a glance that he must be a senior general in the army.

"We didn't come to kill you!"

Thanks to the general's loud voice, everyone in this prison can hear his voice clearly.

"Now, we're going to tie you up, blindfold you, and take you somewhere!"

"Give me an obedient cooperation!"

"As long as there are people who don't cooperate obediently, swords and iron cannons will serve you!"

"Open the door! Get these prisoners out!"

The general's last words were addressed to his subordinates.

After receiving this order from the general, the soldiers took out their keys one after another, opened the doors of each cage, and then filed in, tied the hands of the prisoners in each cage with thick and long hemp ropes, and then Cover the eyes of the prisoner with a black cloth so that the prisoner cannot see.

The process of the soldiers tying up all the prisoners was very smooth, and none of the prisoners did any uncooperative behavior.

Prisoners are not fools, after all.

These soldiers are holding real things in their hands.

So everyone cooperated obediently and let the soldiers tie their hands and blindfold their eyes.

The moment his eyes were covered by the black cloth, the two soldiers standing on the left and right sides of Ogata pushed Ogata forward.

Because of his blindness, Ogata could only let the soldiers behind him push him forward or to the left.

Not long after, Xu conveniently felt the warm sunshine hitting his body.

It is already the beginning of spring, and the sun in the early spring hits the body, which is extraordinarily comfortable.

However, before Ogata had time to enjoy the long-lost sunshine, he felt himself being pushed into a closed space.

Although he couldn't see anything, Ogata was very familiar with this "closed" feeling - Ogata was sure that he must have been pushed into a carriage.

Sure enough, after Ogata was pushed into the confined space, he heard the sound of the door being closed.

Then his body suddenly began to shake back and forth, and the familiar sound of wheels turning came to Ogata's ears.

Chapter 166 The "Lucky" Prisoners

Ogata heard a lot of breathing around him.

——It seems that the prison van I was imprisoned in is huge...it can hold so many people...

While listening to the breathing sounds around him, Ogata thought secretly in his heart.

"Hey!"

A loud voice who was sitting near Ogata yelled.

"Where are you going to transport us?!"

As soon as this person's voice fell, outside the carriage—it should be the driver pulling the carriage—responded in an impatient tone:

"Shut up and wait for me! You will know where you are going to be sent later!"

"Don't blame me for not reminding you - we will have a bumpy road later! Grit your teeth and don't bite your tongue!"

The coachman did not lie to Ogata and the others.

The road that the carriage passed next was so steep that Ogata wondered if they were walking on a gravel road.

Moreover, the driver's driving method is quite rough, as if he doesn't care about the feelings of passengers like Ogata and the others.

Very roughly driving the horse across this extremely bumpy road.

Along the way, Ogata's butt hurt a little.

Some prisoners didn't listen to the coachman's words and didn't close their mouths obediently, which resulted in biting their tongues and screaming.

His hands were still tied behind his back, unable to move.

Both eyes were still covered with black cloth, unable to see.

Under such circumstances, the only available senses are hearing and smell.

——Hmm...is this...?

As the carriage continued to move, Ogata gradually heard some unusual sounds.

——Is this... the sound of sea waves?

Ogata heard the sound of waves...

And the sound of the "squeaking" waves is getting louder...

……

……

The prison van carrying Ogata and others finally stopped.

As soon as the prison car stopped, the door of the prison car was pulled open with a bang, and several rude shouts sounded:

"Here we go! Get out of the car!"

"Get out of the car one by one! No one is allowed to squeeze!"

"Whoever dares not cooperate, don't blame us for being rude!"

The soldiers picked up the people who couldn't see anything in the prison car one by one, and then escorted them to an unknown place.

Although Ogata couldn't see where he was, but based on the increasingly loud sound of the waves, Ogata was sure that they must be walking towards the beach or somewhere close to the sea.

Gradually, in addition to the sound of the waves, some discordant noises and breathing sounds came to Ogata's ears one by one.

Finally—the soldiers escorting Ogata and the others stopped.

"Sit down! Sit down, all!"

"Sit down for me!"

"Everyone sit down for me."

Ogata obediently followed the soldiers' instructions and sat on the ground.

As soon as his butt touched the ground, the soldier standing behind Ogata who was responsible for escorting Ogata tore off the black cloth covering Ogata's eyes.

His eyes were exposed to sunlight for a long time, and it was difficult for Ogata to adapt to the strong light for a while.

Ogata lowered his eyelids and filtered the sunlight with his eyelashes, making his eyes gradually adapt to the sunlight from weak to strong.

After about a few breaths, Ogata's eyes finally got used to the sunlight, and he could see things with wide eyes.

After being able to see things normally, Xu Fang couldn't wait to turn his head and look around.

The blue sky, the sun, the sand, the sea, and the prisoners sitting on the beach with their hands behind their backs like him—this is the first sight that Ogata sees after his eyesight is restored.

Ogata was on a beach.

Not far in front of you, you can see the sea that constantly beats the waves towards the stall.

Around Ogata, there were many people of different ages and genders with their hands tied behind their backs like him.

It's not hard to see—these people are the same prisoners as Ogata.

Ogata looked at the prisoners around him, and thought to himself:

——There are a lot of people... there are almost a hundred people... and there are still many soldiers escorting more prisoners...

Ogata looked back and saw that many soldiers were constantly bringing in new prisoners. After the prisoners were done on the beach, they took off the black cloth that blindfolded the prisoners, and then walked away.

Around the prisoners, there were many soldiers on guard.

However, these soldiers facing the prisoners were not alerting whether outsiders were approaching, but alerting whether prisoners were making trouble.

Without exception, these soldiers in charge of security are wearing helmets and armor, with knives on their waists, and iron cannons that have been lit with matchlocks and can be fired at any time.

It was precisely because these heavily armed soldiers were watching them all around that the prisoners did not dare to make trouble.

Of course, there will also be one or two people who don't know if there is a problem with their brains and make some troubles there.

Ogata saw that not far in front of him, a prisoner seemed to have some conflicts with another prisoner sitting next to him, and the two of them were arguing there, their faces were red and their necks were thick, and they couldn't leave each other.

The soldiers raised their voices to warn the two, but they ignored them.

Finally, after the soldiers standing not far from the two pointed their iron cannons at the two fools, the two guys who were arguing there finally calmed down.

……

……

"Look, it seems that a big shot is coming!"

"This pair of red armor is really handsome."

"This guy can actually wear such a high-level armor... It seems that his level is unusual..."

……

There were sudden discussions among the prisoners one after another.

Because they saw a strong man in red battle armor, surrounded by a dozen guards, striding towards a simple wooden building built in front of the prisoners.
