I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Machi covered Konnosuke's mouth with his right hand, and grabbed his shoulder with his left hand.

Konnosuke's reaction was much calmer than that of the maid just now.

Someone suddenly appeared behind him and controlled himself—although Konnosuke's pupils shrank suddenly in shock and his body shook, he quickly recovered his composure.

There was no scream, nor any struggle.

Konnosuke's calm and composed reaction made Ah-cho involuntarily let out a little exclamation.

"Good evening, Konnosuke-sama."

After Amachi controlled Konnosuke, Ogata also said hello to Konnosuke, while jumping off the ceiling, and landed firmly in front of Konnosuke.

"Sorry, I may have frightened you when I came to disturb you late at night."

"We are not malicious."

After finishing speaking, Ogata took out the sword that Zong Hai gave him.

"This is what Zonghai from Tenmanji asked me to show you."

"He said that as long as he handed over this sword to you, it would prove that we are friends rather than enemies."

Ogata put the sword on the tatami in front of Konnosuke, so that Konnosuke could take a good look at the back of the sword.

Konnosuke glanced at the sword in his arms and raised his eyebrows.

Ogata clearly felt that after seeing the sword in his arms, Konnosuke's vigilance decreased a lot.

Chapter 223 The "Monarch" Inside the Wall

"We're just here to ask you a few questions. We'll leave as soon as we're done. We'll never stay here, and we'll never hurt anyone's life here. Okay?"

Because they still have questions to ask Konnosuke, both Ogata and Atachi treat Konnosuke politely.

A-Ming only controlled Konnosuke with both hands, and did not put a knife on his neck like when he controlled the maid just now.

When Ogata was negotiating with Konnosuke, he also used an extremely gentle tone, and said honorifics that he hadn't said for a long time.

After Ogata's voice fell, Konnosuke nodded lightly, expressing his willingness to cooperate with Ogata and others with his actions.

Seeing Konnosuke nodding, Omoto winked at Machi, who was standing behind Konnosuke and controlling Konnosuke, and signaled him to let go of Konnosuke.

After A-Machi's hand left his mouth, lips and tongue and regained freedom, Konnosuke cooperated very well without screaming loudly, and unhurriedly cleaned up his clothes.

"Since you have this sword in your arms, it means that you are indeed friends of Tenmanji Temple. So I trust you."

Kinnosuke said softly.

"The two of you should be prisoners thrown to this island by the shogunate, right? Which batch of prisoners are you thrown to this island?"

"Batch 4." Ogata replied.

"The fourth batch..." Konnosuke twitched his mouth and sneered, "The shogunate has thrown so many people away from this island... Tell me, what do you want to ask?"

"We want to know more about the ogre."

"What do you want to know about this?" Konnosuke cast a puzzled look at Ogata.

As soon as he finished speaking, Konnosuke seemed to think of something, and said softly "ah".

"I remembered." Konnosuke muttered, "One of the conditions for amnesty given to you prisoners by the shogunate is to get useful information about ogres, so you plan to get information from me, I said Right?"

Ogata shook his head: "No. My companions and I are not interested in the so-called amnesty, and I don't believe that the shogunate will really give us back our freedom so simply, so we just want to rely on our own power to flee the island."

"The reason why we want information about ogres is only because my companions are tasked with collecting information about ogres."

"No matter what your purpose is." Konnosuke sighed softly, "In short-you will be disappointed. I don't know much about ogres."

"How they came, how to kill them, and what other characteristics they have, I don't know anything about it."

"The only thing I know about cannibals is that they can't kill, their blood is poisonous, and they don't get tired. People on this island will become cannibals when they die, and living people will suddenly become cannibals without warning. Ghosts—other than that, I don't know much about ogres."

After Konnosuke's words fell, A-Machi, who was kneeling behind Konnosuke, had a look of strong disappointment on his face.

She, Mamiya, and Mucun—the reason why the three of them were deliberately captured by the government and sent to this island by the government was to collect as much information about the "ogre" as possible.

Although she had already made psychological preparations in her heart, she still couldn't hide her disappointment after hearing what Konnosuke said just now.

"Then change the question." Ogata said quickly, "Do you have any extra ships here? When the shogunate destroyed all the ships on the island, how many ships did you keep in time?"

"Since you know that the shogunate destroyed all the dejima tools on the island...Did the people from Tenmanji tell you..." Konnosuke's face showed a strong bitterness, "No. The shogunate's The soldiers spared no effort when they were called upon to destroy the island's ships and shipbuilding tools."

"There are no boats in this land."

"If there was a boat, we would have left this ghost place long ago."

This time it was Ogata who couldn't hide his disappointment.

"Is there no boat..." Ogata sighed softly, "I can't help it... Try to build a raft."

"Do you know how to build a raft?" Machi asked rhetorically.

"I don't know. If it doesn't work, just swim out of this island with a piece of wood."

Although Ogata said so, he said in his heart:

——Let's do a good job of searching around Fenghe Village later, Laa Town, they may have hidden boats, but they just kept it from us and refused to tell us.

Coincidentally, when Ogata was thinking like this in his heart, A-Ming was also thinking in his heart almost at the same time:

——La Ayi will search around Fenghe Village carefully later, they may have hidden boats, but they just hide it from us and refuse to tell us.

It's a pity that the two of them didn't know that the two of them had almost the same idea almost at the same time, and they didn't know that there was such a tacit understanding between them.

"Sorry—let me interrupt." Konnosuke suddenly said, "Since the two of you are friends of Tenmanji, may I ask you some questions?"

"Ask." Ogata nodded.

"How is Tenmanji Temple now?" Konnosuke said in a somewhat anxious tone, "Since the wooden wall was built a year ago, the connection with Tenmanji Temple has been severed. Jinghai, Zonghai and the others How are you two doing now?"

Jinghai—the Dharma name of Zong Hai's mentor.

Seeing that Kinnosuke asked him this question, Ogata's expression became a little weird.

"Tenmanji...a lot of things happened..."

Fenghe Village built a wooden wall a year ago to self-enclose.

That's why Konnosuke didn't even know that Kyokai died of a recurrence of an old disease half a year ago.

Ogata recounted all the things he knew about Tenmanji Temple with Kinnosuke in as simple a sentence as possible.

From the death of Jing Hai to the fact that Zong Hai, who is still alive, took Xian Hai, who was originally a prisoner, into his family not long ago.

Konnosuke's expression also changed with Ogata's narration.

"Is that so..." Konnosuke's face showed a look of sadness, "Kyokai...is he no longer alive...has he also become a cannibal..."

"...Konnosuke." Looking at Konnosuke with a sad face, Ogata hesitated for a while, then said softly, "About Zonghai... there are some things I have to tell you. I don't think these things are right. It should be hidden from you."

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"Related to ogres..."

Ogata told Kyokai that he did not become an ogre, Kazuyo and Nao, the master and apprentice may be tricky, there may be problems with the water of the Linong River, and Zonghai concealed all these things for Konnosuke. It is tantamount to telling Konnosuke one by one the important news of a bolt from the blue.

And the horrified look on Konnosuke's face also expanded at an astonishing speed.

Chapter 224 A pair of brothers in Shiranui

"I see..." Konnosuke said in a low voice, "It turns out that Zonghai already knew that there was a problem with the water of the Linong River, but he didn't tell us..."

"But I understand his approach very well..."

"From a certain point of view, his practice of concealing and not reporting is correct..."

"If everyone on the island knows that there is no problem with the well water at the only Tenmanji Temple, then an unimaginable bloody struggle will probably break out for this well."

"As for He Shi, He Zhi... I have an impression of the master and apprentice..."

"Two years ago, their master and apprentice came to this island suddenly and said they would move here."

"Our Butterfly Island has always been short of excellent doctors, and their medical skills are very good, and the asking price is also very low, so their master and apprentice are very popular here..."

"I have also been helped by them to treat my long-term painful waist, and their medical skills are indeed quite good. After their treatment, my waist disease, which could not be cured before, healed quickly .”

"Konnosuke." Atachi asked Konnosuke, "Can you draw the faces of the two of them?"

Kinnosuke smiled wryly and shook his head, "I don't have such good drawing skills, I can draw their faces."

Speaking of this, Konnosuke paused as if he remembered something.

"...However, I have preserved two things related to the master-student pair Kazuyo and Kazuo."

Saying so, Konnosuke stood up.

"Two, come with me."

Ogata and A-Machi, who didn't know where they were, stood up with Konnosuke, stood on the left and right sides of Konnosuke, and let Konnosuke lead them out of the room and walked towards the second floor.

Konnosuke's target was the warehouse with 3 large lockers.

Although Konnosuke's house is magnificent and luxurious, it seems that there are not many people living here. From Konnosuke's room to this warehouse, the road is unimpeded, and no one is encountered by chance.

As soon as he entered the warehouse, Konnosuke saw the maid who was still lying in a corner of the room, sleeping soundly.

No need for Ogata and the others to say much, Kinnosuke can guess why the maid is sleeping here just by looking.

After a wry smile, Konnosuke walked to one of the lockers without any hesitation and hesitation, pulled out a bucket, took out 2 pieces of paper from it, and handed them to Ogata and Atachi.

After receiving the two pieces of paper from Konnosuke, Ogata looked at them—these were densely written.

Before Ogata had time to ask what the two pieces of paper were, Konnosuke replied first:

"These two pieces of paper are the prescriptions He Shi and He Zhi wrote for me when they treated my back disease."

"They said that the medicinal materials they had in stock were not enough to treat my back disease, so they asked me to take these two prescriptions to go outside the island to collect the medicinal materials."

"Following their instructions, I sent people to Osaka to buy all the medicinal materials written in these two prescriptions."

"And the two prescriptions from the master and apprentice are also really effective. The potion prepared with these medicines really cured my back disease."

"Because I think that when my back disease recurs someday in the future, this medicine may be effective again, so I kept these two prescriptions."

"I see..." Ogata looked down at the two prescriptions in his hand carefully.

Looking at the densely packed writing on his face, Ogata narrowed his eyes slightly, wondering what he was thinking.

"Both, thank you for your willingness to tell me these things. It's a pity..." Konnosuke's face showed a faint look of distress, "Even if I know that the master and apprentice of Kazuyo and Kazuo may be all these The chief culprit of the riot, knowing that there may be a problem with the water of the Linon River, is of no use..."

"We are trapped here now... we can't even get out of this island. Even if we want to ask the master and apprentice for an explanation, we don't know where the master and apprentice have gone now..."

"All of our domestic water comes from the Linon River."

"Even if we know that there may be problems with the water of the Linon River, we still have to use..."

"Drinking the water of the Linong River may be all right, but if you don't drink the water of the Linong River, you will die of thirst within a few days..."

Having said that, Kinnosuke let out a sigh.

"Although I don't want to admit it... but we who live inside the wooden wall... in this situation where we don't have enough food inside and are blackmailed by powerful enemies outside, we may not survive for long..."

"A powerful enemy is blackmailing you?" Ogata raised his eyebrows.

Ogata had to pay attention to these few words in the sentence that Konnosuke said just now.

Just when Ogata wanted to ask Konnosuke what it meant to say "there is a powerful enemy blackmailing outside", an anxious shout suddenly sounded from outside the warehouse door:

"Kinnosuke-sama! Sotaro and his gang are here again!"

As soon as the anxious shout fell, Konnosuke's expression changed suddenly.

"Damn..." Konnosuke gritted his teeth, "Those guys...are they coming again..."

After finishing speaking, Konnosuke waved his sleeves and rushed out.

The person who also changed his expression was A-Machi.

After hearing that yell just now... no, to be precise, after hearing the name "Sotaro", the expression on Machi's face changed suddenly like that of Konnosuke.

When Konnosuke rushed out, Acho followed closely behind.

"A-Machi, what are you doing?" Ogata, who didn't understand what A-Machi was going to do all of a sudden, followed him blankly, while casually handing over the two Kazuyo and Kazuo cards that Kinnosuke had just stuffed into him. The written prescription was stuffed into his bosom.

Immediately after Konnosuke rushed to the warehouse, A-Machi hurriedly asked Konnosuke:
