I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

A thoughtful look appeared on his face, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, Ogata finally spoke out, breaking the silence of the room.

"Kinnosuke." Ogata reached into his arms, and took out 2 pieces of paper filled with dense words, "Can you give me these 2 pieces of paper?"

"Huh?" Konnosuke raised his eyebrows in doubt.

He recognized the 2 pieces of paper.

It was the prescription for his waist that He Shi and He Zhi wrote to him.

After Konnosuke showed the two prescriptions to him and A-Machi, Sotaro and his party attacked, and at that time, Ozuki stuffed the two prescriptions into his arms.

"Yes, yes." These two prescriptions were not valuable items to Konnosuke, so Konnosuke responded without hesitation, "But what do you want these two prescriptions for? Are you going to treat a back injury?"

"No." Ogata silently stuffed the two prescriptions in his hands back into his arms, "It's not for treating back injuries, but for more important things."

Chapter 260 Negotiations with the Shogunate

"Let's stop with my business first." Ogata smiled slightly, and said in a relaxed tone, "Since I don't have to worry about my life now, let's talk about my life later."

"Let's deal with the current matter first and then talk about it."

"Now our ship is still docked at Butterfly Island, right?"

Mamiya and the others nodded.

"Can such a large warship be maneuvered?" Ogata couldn't help asking the question he had after seeing this warship for the first time.

This warship, which can carry a hundred soldiers, is very large, not an ordinary boat.

Whether it is possible to operate such a large warship - this has become a matter of great concern to Ogata.

He didn't want to go to great lengths to snatch a boat, only to have a farce where he couldn't operate the boat.

As soon as the voice of Ogata's words fell, Mamiya replied without thinking:

"Can manipulate."

"During the time you were unconscious, I was teaching the villagers how to operate this type of warship, and now they can roughly move this warship."

Ogata's eyes widened immediately: "You can even control a warship?"

"I used to learn how to operate various types of warships in the Yuanjiang area."

As soon as Mamiya finished speaking, Konnosuke immediately answered and said:

"Now the ship can move at any time."

"I plan to set off later to find the officials of the shogunate on the main island of Japan."

"Live or die...the decision is made today."

"Master Ogata, this ship carries two escape boats."

"Get out of here in one of the boats."

"The next thing ... we're going to do it ourselves."

Kinnosuke knew the identities of Ogata and the others.

Ogata and the others were prisoners who were sent to Butterfly Island. If they followed them on a big ship to find officials of the shogunate, it would be courting death.

Even if Konnosuke and the others were able to persuade the shogunate to let the islanders live, it was impossible for the shogunate to let Ogata and the others live.

Even if Ogata and the others were not executed on the spot, they would definitely be thrown back into prison.

Therefore, the best choice for Ogata and the others at present is to take a boat and part ways with Jinnosuke as he just said.

Konnosuke and the others took this warship to negotiate with the shogunate and find a way out.

But Ogata and the others took the small boat carried by this warship and flew away, returning to the life of ronin.

Ogata was noncommittal to Konnosuke's suggestion.

Only Konnosuke asked:

"Have you thought of a line to persuade the shogunate to let you live?"

"Ogata benefactor..." As soon as Ogata's words fell, Zonghai smiled slightly, "The person in charge of direct negotiations with the officials of the shogunate has been changed from Mr. Konnosuke to me."

"Huh?" Ogata cast a surprised look.

"During the period when Ogata benefactor you were in a coma, the little monk has already confessed everything to Mr. Konnosuke and the rest of the villagers."

Speaking of this, a faint smile appeared on Zong Hai's face.

Kinnosuke also showed a helpless smile at this time.

"I have confessed to everyone that I have concealed the fact that I have known for a long time that there is a problem with the water of the Linon River."

"Thanks to everyone's generosity, I was not beaten by everyone."

"Ogata benefactor, what you said to the little monk in front of the gate of Tenmanji Temple, the little monk is still in my ears."

"After that, the little monk also reflected on what he had done."

"Little Monk has now decided—do my best to remedy it."

"And try my best to let the shogunate let all the residents of this island live—this is the first remedy I will do."

"The little monk is a monk. What a monk says can be heard by the senior officials of the shogunate."

"At the same time, the monk is quite confident in his eloquence."

"Moreover--Sponsor Matsumoto Kiyohito will also go with the monk."

"Donor Matsumoto has agreed to stand with us and speak for us."

"With the help of Matsumoto's benefactor, the possibility of persuading the shogunate officials should be higher."

"Matsumoto..." Ogata muttered the name, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

He didn't expect that this person "picked up" by Jiangong and Mucun at random could play such a big role.

Ogata heard from Matsumoto that he was one of the researchers sent to the island by the shogunate. According to him, he is also a well-known doctor in the medical circle and has treated many high-ranking officials and celebrities of the shogunate.

With the assistance of Matsumoto, a well-known person who has worked for the shogunate, it will indeed make Konnosuke and their negotiation success rate higher.

"After meeting the officials of the shogunate, it is inevitable that they will ask—what happened to the soldiers who landed on the island? How did you get this warship?"

Zong Hai smiled wryly as he spoke.

"If the officials of the shogunate ask me this, Ogata benefactor, can I answer this?"

"I'll say it directly—it was killed by a few prisoners. After killing all the soldiers who landed on the island, because the warship could not be operated by a few people, these prisoners forced us islanders to assist in operating the ship."

"The ship sailed halfway, and the prisoners discovered that the ship turned out to be a small boat."

"So he left us and left in a small boat."

"Yes." Ogata nodded without thinking, "Except for the mistake of forcing you to steer the boat, there is nothing wrong with the rest..."

"Just say that the soldiers of the shogunate army were all killed by a ronin wearing a light green haori and long hair."

"There's no need to bring Acho, Mamiya, and Makimura."

"Anyway, I am a felon wanted by the whole of Japan."

"I don't mind making my head worth more."

The reason why Ogata said that was to protect A-cho and the others.

Let them not be noticed by the shogunate in the future, and will not be wanted by the shogunate.

As soon as Ogata's voice fell, Mamiya smiled:

"Take me too. More than 100 shogunate soldiers were killed by 2 people—this makes it more believable."

"Anyway, I'm also a wanted criminal, so I'm not afraid of being wanted."

"Actually, there is no need to explain in detail to the shogunate what the prisoners who killed the soldiers looked like." Zong Hai smiled wryly, "Just make some general comparisons like 'smaller eyes' and 'average height' The characteristics of the masses will do.”

"It's up to you. I don't care if you want to tell me about my appearance in detail or just talk nonsense." Speaking of this, Ogata paused.

He turned his head, looked at Konnosuke and Zonghai a few times, and cast an encouraging look at them, and then said:

"We did everything we could to help you."

"The rest is up to you."

"I wish you a prosperous martial arts."

After receiving Ogata's blessing, Kinnosuke and Zonghai both showed faint smiles.

"Yeah." Zong Hai nodded vigorously, "My little monk also wishes all benefactors good luck!"

……

……

"Master Inamori! Master Inamori!"

An urgent shout suddenly sounded outside the tent.

"What's the matter?" Inamori, who was dealing with military affairs in the tent, asked in a deep voice.

"The troops who landed on the island are back!"

"Have you finally come back..."

After grumbling like this, Inamori stood up and walked out of the tent.

It was dusk now.

According to the original plan, the troops that landed on Butterfly Island last night should have successfully dispatched at noon today.

Coming back so late, Inamori couldn't help but wonder what happened to them on the island and why they didn't come back until dusk.

After running quickly to the place where the warship can be seen, Inamori stopped and looked into the distance.

A warship was heard on the sea not far away.

This warship is obviously the warship responsible for transporting the 150 generals to the island last night.

"...What's going on?" Inamori frowned, "Why didn't they move?"

After the warship was still some distance away from the coast, it suddenly stopped on the sea surface and did not move.

As soon as Inamori had doubts in his mind, he saw a small boat lowered from the warship and slowly heading towards the coast.

With his fairly good eyesight, Inamori could barely see the two people sitting in the small boat.

"What the hell is going on...!" Realizing that something was wrong, Inamori shouted coldly while walking quickly towards the coast.

When Inamori arrived at the coast, the boat carrying two people also just landed.

Of the two people carried in this small boat, one is a monk with a bald head and a monk's robe.

The other was a young man with an ordinary appearance.

After these two people saw many soldiers surrounding them, the young man showed fear.

As for the monk, his expression remained unchanged.

"I'm a monk who is practicing on Butterfly Island!"

"There is important news about the ogre to tell the officials of the shogunate!"

The monk's words made Inamori's expression change several times.

How did you get this ship?Where did the soldiers who landed on the island go?What is the important news about the ogre... I am full of questions and want to ask.

After a while of hesitation, Inamori said to a subordinate beside him:

"Take these two people to the open space in the camp."

Despite all the doubts, this is not the place to talk.

—Let’s take them to a place suitable for talking first.

Inamori said this in his heart, and turned to leave.

……

……

Under the guidance of the soldiers, Zonghai and Matsumoto were taken to a relatively empty space in the camp.
