I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Hearing the two words "Luguo" and "Red Moon Fortress", Inamori's pupils shrank suddenly, and then quickly flipped through the several sheets of paper in his hand that were full of densely written words.

While Inamori was flipping through the papers filled with the latest information about Ezo, Sadanobu Matsudaira whispered beside him:

"Lou Country has recently dispatched several new expedition teams to Ezo."

"These new expedition teams from the Lu country fought against the bandit soldiers of the Red Moon Fortress in early March this year."

"Relying on the overwhelming superiority of troops and weapons, the bandit soldiers of the Red Moon Fortress successfully drove back the expedition teams from the Lu Kingdom."

"However, the bandits in the Red Moon Fortress did not have an easy fight."

After Matsudaira Sadanobu's voice fell, Inamori just finished reading every word on the few sheets of paper in his hand.

"...Did Lu Country send expeditions to Ezo more and more frequently in the past two years?" Inamori frowned and raised his concerns.

"I think so too." Sadanobu Matsudaira frowned slightly at this time, "It seems——Lu Guo's ambition is not small, they might be planning to swallow Ezo completely."

"Ezo Land is not so easy to swallow." Inamori twitched his mouth and sneered, "With the gang of bandits from Red Moon Fortress, how can Ezo Land be so easy to occupy?"

"Don't be careless, Inamori." Matsudaira Sadanobu stood up and straightened his clothes, "In two days, I'm going back to Edo."

"In 2 days, you can go back to Edo with me."

"Letting a tiger general like you stay here to watch over the ogre is really unworthy."

"I will send a new general to take over Ji Yi's side later."

"After returning to Edo with me, I will persuade the General to send more troops to the Matsumae Domain."

"At that time, you will lead the newly added troops to station at the front line in the north of our country, and monitor all the movements of Lu Country and Red Moon Fortress."

"Yeah!" Inamori nodded solemnly.

"If Lu country sends a large-scale army to Ezo... I don't need to tell you, Inamori, you should know what to do, right?"

An ice-cold light burst out from Matsudaira Sadanobu's pupils.

"I know." Inamori grinned, "Let's wait until they and the bandit army in the Red Moon Fortress are both injured."

Recommended, 【 \Mi\Mi\Reading\app \mimiread\ 】It's really good, it's worth pretending, after all, there are many sources of books, all books, fast!

"That's right." Matsudaira Sadanobu nodded with a smile, "The bandit soldiers in the Red Moon Fortress neither listen to the shogunate nor surrender to the Lu country. Let them and the Lu country fight to the detriment of both."

"We watched the fire from the other side and reaped the results."

"Master Lao Zhong." Inamori asked, "If the country of Lu really sends a large-scale army to occupy the land of Ezo in the future, and fight with the bandit army in the Red Moon Fortress, do we have to take a breath? Eliminate the weakened Red Moon Fortress?"

"...This kind of question, let's talk about it later." Matsudaira Sadanobu waved his hand.

"Yes!"

……

In the Omi area, in a certain deep mountain——

In a certain mountain in the Omi area, a village was built abruptly.

Although it is a village, this village does not exude the vitality and popularity that a human settlement should have from the inside to the outside, and there is not even much smoke from cooking.

In an ordinary wooden house in this "village", an old man with all the gray hair on his head and a huge, vertical scar on his left face was writing something on a scroll.

The vertical scar on the old man's face stretched from his left forehead to his left cheek, running through his entire left eye, leaving him with only one right eye to see.

"Lord Balrog."

A handsome young man walked slowly to the old man's desk, then knelt down on one knee.

"Gekutaro came to return."

"Oh! Jitaro, you have completed your mission and returned! You have worked hard."

After all, the old man who was called "Blaze" by Ji Taro put down the pen in his hand, and handed the scroll of the table case to Ji Taro.

"Gekitaro, since you're here, do me a favor by the way."

"Help me give this list to Heitaro, and let him start to deal with everyone recorded in this list."

"This is...?" Ji Taro took the scroll with a puzzled face.

"These are the ninjas who will be downgraded to filth next." Balrog said in a casual tone, "Gekutaro, if you are interested, you can take a look at who is on the list."

"Then... I'm sorry."

After straightening the scroll in his hand, Ji Taro's eyes slid over each person's name recorded on it one by one.

When sliding to the last name, Ji Taro raised his eyebrows slightly.

"A-Machi? I remember that she is not going out to perform a mission now? Lord Balrog, don't wait for A-Machi to return to work, and then decide whether to demote her based on her current completion of this mission?"

"No need." Balrog waved his hand, and then showed a smirk, "I've wanted to demote A-Ming since the end of last year."

"The reason why I gave Ah-Ming a task is purely to make use of the waste at the end. If she is allowed to degenerate into dirt in such a state of accomplishing nothing, it would be a waste of the training we have given her over the years. .”

"No matter how well she completes this current task, I will reduce her to dirt-I have always planned to do so."

"Lord Balrog... you are really bad."

Although Ji Taro said so, there was no regret on his face.

Volume 4 "Undead" - the end!

Volume 5 "Kyoto Summer Array" preview:

……

"Now Kyoto is very lively, after all, the annual Gion Festival is coming."

……

"Now there is a murderer in Kyoto, old lady, you have to be more careful. That man's name is Ogata Itsuki. If you find any clues, remember to notify the government in time."

……

"Brother Ogata, the Yuli and Tongxin from Kyoto, the officials from Huofu Thief Kai, all the samurai from the Six Great Sword Gyms, and the ordinary people in Kyoto...these people are all your enemies now, and you are now engulfing the whole city!" We are all enemies, you should leave Kyoto as soon as possible."

……

"Brother Ogata, are you going to venture into the Six Great Sword Halls alone?"

"Yes."

"They must have laid a net now. If you go to fight, you will fall right into their arms."

"So what?"

"If you go, you may never come back!"

"Then I won't come back!"

Volume 4 Epilogue

(????)??Hi!tortured!

This is Shu Mengshi, who has been suffering from lack of time to read through the pile of books I bought recently.

Volume 4 "Undead" has been serialized for nearly a month, and it has finally come to a successful conclusion.

The total word count also perfectly met my expectations-below 20 words.

Although there are more mysterious things like ogres in this volume, the nature of the book has not changed, it is still "samurai with a magical atmosphere".

In fact, some people should have discovered it—the role of ogres in this volume is actually not much, and people are still fighting people from beginning to end.

I also said in the "Words of the Writer" in a previous chapter: For ogres, you can treat them as a background-you should also understand what this sentence means.

This book will not change its style of painting, it will not become an exorcist, and Ogata will not become a demon hunter-you can rest assured on this point, until the end of the book, it is Ogata who is fighting with humans and the shogunate Fighting, fighting with various forces, no monsters and ghosts will emerge.

The 4th volume is over, and the 5th volume - "Kyoto Summer Array" will start tomorrow.

Everyone should be able to see it from the trailer - the stage of Volume 5 is the prosperous ancient capital: Kyoto.

Advertisement, the app I'm using recently, [ \Mi\Mi\Reading\app \mimiread\ ] supports both Android and Apple phones!

Unsurprisingly, Ogata will encounter a lot of troubles in Kyoto again, confronting various masters in Kyoto.

Volume 5 can be regarded as one of the chapters that the author wants to write the most since the beginning of the book.

Ogata will spend what may be the longest night of his life in Kyoto, where the Gion Matsuri is being held.

The total number of words in Volume 5, I can’t really say, it must be less than 20 words, maybe 30 words, it is one of the largest chapters in this book.

In short—please look forward to Ogata’s trip to Kyoto in Volume 5.

I have almost exhausted what I want to say, so this postscript ends here.

Finally, at the end, I must say that sentence that must be said every time.

My deepest thanks to everyone who has supported this book!

gargling dream

2020 12 Month 27 Day.

Chapter 264 Red Dragon

Kii area, Kii Fan, Dahe Town.

It has been rainy here since 5 days ago.

And now, the rainy weather that lasted for many days is finally over.

In the early morning, it was gray, dark, and the sky was constantly raining. When it was approaching noon, the tangled clouds finally dissipated.

In the gap vacated by the clouds, the azure blue like the clear sea reappeared.The long-lost morning sun softly shines on every house in Okawa Town.

The nearby grass, green trees, and distant hillsides and fields are all glistening wetly.

Although the road still has a lot of water.The roads were also muddy due to standing water.But it is no longer like a while ago that there is almost no place to stay, which makes the residents of Dahe Town less painful to walk when they go out.

Dahe Town is just an ordinary town in the Kii Domain.

There are not many ordinary cities and towns like this in Japan.

Willow House—although it has such a literary name, it is actually just an ordinary bathhouse.

The Yanagi House is just like this Okawacho—the whole body exudes an aura called "ordinary", and it is also an ordinary bathhouse similar to this one, and there are no ordinary bathhouses in Japan.

It's just after noon, and the bathhouse business is at its worst during the daytime. There are not many customers in Willow House, and the shopkeeper sitting at the counter is also bored admiring the ukiyo-e that he recently bought secretly without telling his wife.

The owner has recently become obsessed with ukiyo-e paintings by an artist named "Kinraku".

And the ukiyo-e he is looking at now is also Jinle's painting.

Every artist has his own subject matter that he is good at and not good at.

And the subject matter that Jinle is best at... To use more elegant words to describe it, it is "beauty paintings", and to use easy-to-understand words to describe it, it is "spring paintings".

The human bodies painted by Jinle are the best among so many body paintings that the owner has seen in his life.

Just a few simple strokes can outline the fullness of the breasts.

After just a few glances at Jinle's paintings, Jinle is completely addicted to Jinle's paintings and cannot extricate himself.

Until now, the store manager has secretly collected several works of Jinle—it was only because of the store manager’s contacts that he was able to buy them.

The works of highly skilled painters—especially those who specialize in beauties like Jin Le—are always bestsellers.

Jinle's works have always been priceless and extremely difficult to buy.

If it weren't for the relevant connections, the store manager would really not be able to buy Jinle's paintings.

Because if his wife knew that he paid so much money to buy this kind of beauty painting, it would definitely be a catastrophe, so the store manager has been hiding from his wife and secretly using his private money to collect Jinle's paintings.

Just as the store manager was admiring the newly purchased Jinle's painting, his whole body was burning hot, when he suddenly heard the sound of the bathhouse door being opened in front of him.
