I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

"If you meet him, you will meet him. What are you afraid of!" Lin said without thinking, "He looks for it in his own way, and we look for it in our own way. We will do our own thing with him."

"Speaking of which—" Asai suddenly crossed his arms and said at this moment, "Shouldn't we let that Yidao Zhai go away like this?"

"Why do you say that?" Mamiya, who was sitting across from Asai, asked back.

"Because that Yidao Zhai didn't have that immortal poison in his body?"

"Leave Yidao Zhai and study his body corroded by the poison of immortality. Maybe we can get some information related to 'immortality'."

"Asai..." Mamiya smiled wryly, "It's easy for you to say, but it's not so easy to do. The simplest question - how do you want to keep Ogata-kun?"

"...that guy's strength should not be underestimated." Lin, who was sitting under the seal of Qiancheng's gourd horse, said softly, "Although I don't want to admit it, it is always true. Without uncle's help, even if we If we go forward to besiege together, we may have to pay a lot of casualties to take him down."

"And even if we succeed in taking him down, we don't have the kind of talent who can study the human body."

"Didn't Mamiya-senpai just say that he once studied medicine in the Echizen area?" Shimada asked.

"I only understand a little bit. I can't do things like studying the human body."

"Okay!" Lin clapped her hands twice, drawing everyone's attention back, "Let's stop the gossip! Everyone except Jiulang and Bogong will prepare for my long journey after going down! Three days later Let's go to Luo!"

……

……

After Lin announced the dissolution, Makimura, Asai, and Shimada walked side by side on their way back to their respective rooms.

"...Master Mamiya and Genichi are staying behind in Owari, so I'm a little uneasy." Asai who was walking in the middle said suddenly.

As soon as Asai's words fell, Mucun nodded slowly:

"Coincidentally, I feel exactly the same as you."

"My lord is a qualified leader most of the time, but..." the head of the village sighed, "Sometimes, I'm really too childish...but I can't blame the lord...after all, the lord He's only 19 years old, and he still needs to be honed..."

"The reason why our gourd house can develop to the scale it is today is all thanks to Yumamiya, a monster who can do all kinds of work, and Genda, who has a lot of connections and absolute strength, to sit in the battle."

"The two of them are the only ones in the whole gourd house who can restrain the childish outburst protagonist."

"This time I go to Los Angeles, neither of these two people will go together... I don't want to make people feel uneasy..."

"...You're wrong. Mucun." Asai, who had never expressed much expression, was still expressionless at this moment, "The things I feel uneasy about are different from yours."

"My lord is indeed too childish sometimes."

"But there are not many times when the protagonist's childishness can explode."

"Most of the time, the lord is a qualified and respectable leader. I never worry that the lord will go wrong. In fact, the lord has never made any mistakes in a critical moment."

"The thing that disturbs me is that you, Mucun, are in charge of this operation, but Mamiya and Genichi are not accompanying you."

"Master Mamiya and Genichi's 'powerfulness' can make up for your 'troublesomeness'."

"Without the two of them traveling together, I am very worried that you will cause a lot of trouble for everyone in this mission."

Asai's words were merciless.

But Mucun seemed to be used to Asai's ruthless way of speaking, and he was not angry with Asai's words just now.

He just shrugged and smiled:

"Are you worried that I will cause trouble during this mission?"

"That's right." Asai nodded bluntly, "You, who always meddle in other people's business, are the best at causing trouble among us, and many tasks that were originally easy have suddenly become difficult because of you. "

"Makimura, I'm counting on you—this time going to Luo, please try to be as quiet as possible. Don't cause a lot of unnecessary troubles for everyone."

"I just want to finish this mission happily, and then go back to Owari and sleep well."

"Okay, okay, okay." Mucun held up his hands in a gesture of surrender, "I see, I will try to be as quiet as you wish."

……

……

Eating, sleeping, asking for directions, and hurrying—this is Ogata's daily life these days.

Although the horse under his crotch was just an ordinary pack horse, its existence really made Ogata's journey much easier.

Although the distance between Owari and Kyoto is not far, it still takes a lot of time to ask for directions and drive at the same time.

Ogata did not deliberately count how many days he spent on the way to Kyoto.

Just remember the weather is getting hotter.

When I first set off, I still felt a little cold at night even wearing a haori.

And gradually, from no longer feeling cold at night, it gradually changed to no longer having to wear feathers.

The heat emitted by the sun hanging high in the dome is becoming more and more amazing.

To deal with the high temperature, the only thing Ogata could do to resist was to put away his light green haori, and tie up the sleeves of his dark blue kimono with cuffs.

Before you know it, Ogata is only a short distance away from Kyoto...

……

……

When Ogata was only a short distance away from Kyoto——

Somewhere not too far from Kyoto.

"Master Hasegawa... Everyone is tired, let's find a place to rest early."

"...Imai, go and tell everyone—keep at it, there is a village called 'Xinri' ahead, we will spend the night there tonight, and after spending the night there, we will leave for Kyoto tomorrow morning."

Chapter 274 The Victim of the Tianming Fire

"Kyoto?"

Ogata is now asking the way to a passerby who happens to be walking opposite him.

"You keep going down this road."

The passer-by pointed at his feet.

"Go straight, keep going, and then you will see a village called 'New Sun'."

"Pass through Xinri Village and then go west and you will see Kyoto."

"Thank you!" After bowing deeply to the passer-by to express his gratitude, Ogata got on his horse again.

Following the passerby's instructions, Ogata rode his horse and ran straight along the dirt road under his feet.

After spending nearly half an hour, wisps of cooking smoke slowly appeared in Ogata's eyes.

After discovering the wisps of cooking smoke, Ogata hurriedly tapped the horse's belly with his heel again, driving the horse under his crotch to run faster.

Under the wisps of cooking smoke, there is a fairly large village.

The villagers in this village don't seem to hate outsiders.

After seeing Ogata riding his horse towards them, several old men who happened to be chatting at the entrance of the village warmly welcomed Ogata into the village.

Ogata asked these old men, and after confirming that this village is Xinri Village, and after leaving Xinri Village and going north for a certain distance to reach Kyoto, Ogata raised his head and glanced at the sky.

It was now dusk, and the sun was almost sinking below the horizon.

Looking at the sun that was about to disappear from the horizon, Ogata made a secret decision: tonight he will spend the night in this Xinri Village.

On the way from Owari to Kyoto, Ogata has never walked through the night.

In such an ancient society, there were no lighting facilities in the wild.

The wild at night is really invisible.

Walking at night is both inefficient and dangerous. Instead of wasting energy walking at night, it is better to have a good rest and save enough energy to catch up more during the daytime the next day.

So during these days to Kyoto, Ogata has always been obediently resting at night, and never rushes at night.

……

……

Ogata led his horse and walked slowly in Xinri Village.

Looking around, you can see hotels with various signs.

Ogata secretly thought about Wang Zehua’s hotels with various signs:

——As the old men at the entrance of the village said just now, this village is for the development of tourism...

Just now, after confirming with the old men who were chatting at the entrance of the village whether this place is Xinri Village and whether we can reach Kyoto westward after leaving Xinri Village, Ogata chatted casually with these elders.

According to those old men, this Xinri Village was originally just an ordinary village.

But about 8 years ago, a new village chief took office.

And this new village head is quite talented, he keenly saw the biggest advantage of their Xinri Village-it is very close to Kyoto.

Kyoto is one of the largest cities in Japan, and there are countless tourists and tourists who go to Kyoto every day.

Therefore, the new village head of their Xinri Village encouraged the villagers to open hotels.

Under the leadership and encouragement of the new village chief, some villagers who had enough energy to open hotels opened hotels one after another.

The new village head of Xinri Village's "tourism development" policy is also quite effective.

Every day, there are many people who don’t have time to arrive in Kyoto before dark, but don’t want to walk at night. For these people, Xinri Village, which has a lot of cheap hotels, is the best place to go.

Therefore, since the start of "tourism" under the leadership of the new village head, Xinri Village has become slightly richer than before.

But for some unknown reason, Ogata walked into every hotel in the village and was told that it was "full."

Hearing the "full customers" one after another, Ogata's heart gradually became heavy...

Just when Ogata began to suspect that he might be sleeping on the ground in a place full of hotels tonight, a kind old woman said to Ogata:

"Samurai-sama, are you looking for a hotel with vacancies?"

Ogata nodded.

"Then you go straight along this road." The old woman pointed behind him, "You go along this road to the end, and you can see a hotel with the sign of 'He', which belongs to Granny Cake. The hotel, Granny Cake's hotel should still have vacancies."

"Mother-in-law?"

"That's our nickname for the proprietress of the hotel." The old lady smiled slightly, "Because she likes to eat the specialty of her hometown of Kusatsu-grandma cake, so we all like to call her 'grandmother cake'."

After bidding farewell to the enthusiastic old woman, Ogata walked all the way to the end in the direction the old woman pointed out just now.

At the very end of the road, there is a two-story mansion with a decent floor space and a signboard with the word "和".

——It should be here...why do you always feel that this hotel is deserted...

While Ogata said this in his heart, he slowly opened the door of the hotel.

There are a few candles burning in the hotel, so the light is still bright.

Just as Ogata was about to shout "Is anyone there?" he heard footsteps coming from far and near from the depths of the hotel.

After a while, an old lady with a short stature appeared in front of Ogata.

The old lady was wearing a light red kimono that had been seriously faded, and a pair of white socks that could be seen to be quite old.

Although the clothes on his body are very old, both the kimono on his body and the socks on his feet are quite neat and clean.

The old lady came up to Ogata with a beaming smile.

After seeing Ogata's face clearly, the old woman seemed to smile even more happily.

"Hohohohoho~~" the old woman covered her mouth and smiled, "The new guest who came to the door today is a handsome young man, mother-in-law, my luck is really good today."

"Good evening, you should be Granny Cake, right?" Ogata couldn't help smiling at Granny Cake's ingenious opening remarks just now.

"Hohohoho~ Guest officer, you still know my mother-in-law's name, I'm so happy. Guest officer, do you want to have dinner here, or do you want to stay?"

"Do you still provide food here? Then I want dinner and accommodation."

"okay!"

Granny Cake quickly quoted a price.

The price was still cheap, so Ogata readily agreed.

Guided by Granny Cake, Ogata carried his small amount of luggage to the second floor of the hotel.

The hotel has 2 floors, and each floor has different functions-the first floor is a restaurant, and the second floor is a hotel.
