I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

"I'm back." Lin nodded with a faint smile.

Just when Lin just came up with the idea of ​​praising Mucun and Shimada for their quick action, Lin suddenly noticed that she didn't see Mucun...

Just when Lin was about to ask Shimada why he didn't see Makimura——

"My lord! It's bad! Senior Mucun was caught by the government!"

Lin: Σ(°Д°;) "Huh?!"

Lin, who had always had a pitiful expression, now had her eyes wide open, as if her two eyeballs might fall out of their sockets at any moment.

……

……

Not so long ago—

"...I feel a little disappointed."

Both Shimada and Mucun were holding the cleaning tools that Lin had ordered them to buy just now and the medicine specially used to wash away dirt in their arms.

"Why do you say that?"

When he accompanied Mucun to the nearby market to buy things, Shimada kept looking around.

No... It should be said that since entering Kyoto, I have been looking at the surrounding scenery.

After shopping with Makimura and returning to Fuma's mansion, Shimada suddenly said "I feel a little disappointed".

After hearing Mucun ask him why, Shimada responded:

"I originally thought that Kyoto, as one of the three major capitals of our country, must be a metropolis as prosperous as Edo. I didn't expect..."

Shimada didn't finish his sentence.

But even if he didn't finish the sentence, Mucun understood what he meant.

"...There is no other way to do this."

Makimura said softly.

"The Tianming fire two years ago caused too much damage to Kyoto. It hurt the vitality of Kyoto."

"In recent years, the shogunate's finances have also been quite difficult, and there is no surplus money that can be allocated to rebuild Kyoto, so the reconstruction of Kyoto is quite slow."

"I don't know how many years it will take for Kyoto to return to the state before the Tianming fire..."

Before Mucun could finish his sigh, a sudden cry of a child not far away attracted Mucun's attention, and Mucun couldn't help but stop talking.

Mu Cun followed the prestige - and saw a little girl about 7 or 8 years old crying loudly there.

And beside this little girl, there are 6 youths who are dressed in sleek clothes.

The exposed skin of these six youths is pierced with various tattoos, and it is not difficult to see that these six are Yakuza.

One of the six youths held a piece of Jinpingtang in his hand, and raised the piece of Jinpingtang high.

The little girl surrounded by the six youths cried and jumped up, trying to reach the gold flat candy in the youth's hand.

But because of her height, no matter how hard she tried, the little girl was destined to be unable to get this golden flat candy.

And the appearance of this little girl crying while trying to get enough of this golden flat candy, in the eyes of these six young men who are full of enthusiasm, seems to be an extremely interesting picture, and she keeps laughing there.

There are many passers-by passing by.

Seeing this scene, many passers-by showed resentment.

But after seeing the number of these young people, there was a bit of fear in the resentment on his face.

After several struggles, he finally chose not to see, and hurried past the six youths and the little girl who was being bullied.

Even if no one explained to them what happened, Makimura and Shimada could deduce the cause of the incident from the pictures presented in front of them.

"...Shimada, did you see that?" Mucun sneered, "Yakuza is such a disgusting existence."

"The best thing to do is to bully ordinary people."

"For fun, I even do things like snatching candy from children."

As soon as Mucun's words fell, Shimada nodded vigorously as if he felt the same way.

Just when Shimada opened his mouth to say something to Mucun, he suddenly felt that the weight of the pile of things in his arms suddenly increased a lot—Makimura took all the cleaning tools and medicines that he was responsible for. Tucked into his arms.

Afterwards, Mu Cun strode towards the six youths without any hesitation.

"Hey, you six bastards, return the candy to that little girl!"

Mucun's loud shout instantly attracted the attention of the six youths.

When the six youths turned their heads and saw Mucun's tall and majestic figure, they swallowed uncontrollably out of shock and fear.

But the confidence and courage brought to them by the 6 to 1 overwhelming number of people quickly helped them make up for this fear.

"Huh?" The young man with Jinpingtang in his hand said first, "It's none of your business..."

From the very beginning, Mucun didn't think that he could get the six people to obediently return the sugar to the little girl with simple words.

Chapter 288 Two Revolvers 【2 Updates Today】

Because there was no hope in the "negotiation" from the very beginning, before the young man finished speaking, a fist as big as the mouth of a bowl was directly printed on the young man's face.

While being punched by Mucun, and his body flew upside down, the young man loosened his hands subconsciously, and the Jinpingtang he was holding fell out of his palm.

Mucun raised his hand to scoop it up, and precisely caught the gold flat sugar that hadn't even had time to fall.

"Little girl, let's go." Mu Cun said while throwing the candy back to the little girl.

The little girl also seemed to be frightened by the sudden situation in front of her. After catching the Jinpingtang thrown by Mucun, she quickly fled the place with a pale face.

After watching the little girl leave, Mucun turned his gaze back to the six youths.

The big sword of Mucun is now on his back.

In order not to cause troubles such as "officials came forward to interrogate", the big sword behind Mucun was wrapped in thick cloth.

Under the cover of this thick cloth, outsiders would not be able to see that the thing behind Mu Cun's back was a big sword.

If Mucun now reveals the big sword behind his back, it will undoubtedly shock and scare the six unarmed youths away.

But Mucun didn't want to do that.

Mucun now just wants to use his fists to teach these 6 scumbags who bully even little girls a good lesson.

He squeezed the joints of the ten fingers of both hands, and made a bone-piercing "crack" sound. Then, like a tiger rushing into a flock of sheep, Mucun took the initiative to rush towards the six youths.

Judging from the skills of these six youths, they are not completely ignorant of unarmed combat.

From a quantitative point of view, they also have an absolute advantage.

But they were still quickly suppressed by Mucun.

Looking at Mucun who was wrestling with the six youths, Shimada looked anxious, not knowing what he should do now.

Staying here and watching—feels wrong.

Rushing up to help—it also felt a little inappropriate, because Mucun already had the absolute upper hand, and even without his help, Mucun could bring down all the six youths.

And if he wanted to rush up to help, he had to put down the pile of things in his arms—if he put down the pile of things and rushed up to help, the pile of things might be stolen.

Just when Shimada was hesitating and didn't know what to do, many citizens gathered around to watch the fun and the 1v6 group fight.

However, at this moment - extremely noisy human voices suddenly sounded from the outermost periphery of the crowd surrounding Mucun and the six young people.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

"Get out of the way!"

"Who is fighting! Who is fighting!"

……

As these noisy voices fell, the crowd was divided into two sides, revealing a path for people to walk through.

A Yuli led a dozen or so Okabiki with ten hands pinned to their waists, and walked quickly along the path separated by the crowd, and entered the center of the 1v1 battlefield.

At this time, Mucun just brought down the last person.

The six youths were all lying on the ground in various postures, moaning in pain.

Putting the last person down and raising his head, Mucun saw the dozen or so gangyins who had surrounded him.

Mucun glanced at the dozen or so Okanagi who surrounded him with calm eyes.

There was no expression of fear on his face.

The vast majority of Okabiki are just ordinary people and don't know any martial arts, so even if surrounded by more than ten Okabiki, Mucun has absolute confidence to escape.

After moving his gaze across the faces of the dozen or so Okabi, Mucun's gaze fixed on Yuli who was in charge of the leader.

"Akiyama?" Mucun exclaimed with his pupils shrunk slightly.

After hearing the strong man in front of him call out his name, Yu Li was slightly taken aback.

After looking carefully at Mucun's face several times, Yuli, whom Mucun called "Qiu Shan", shouted excitedly:

"Master Mucun! Have you returned to Kyoto?"

"Yeah." Mu Cun nodded lightly, "I came back almost an hour ago."

"...Master Mucun." Qiushan lowered his head and glanced at the six young men lying at the foot of Mucun, "You just returned to Kyoto, and you made such a big commotion... It's really you."

Akiyama glanced at the citizens surrounding him, pointing in this direction.

Then he walked slowly in front of Mucun, lowered his voice, and said in a low voice that only he and Mucun could hear clearly:

"Master Mucun, I know that if you want to escape, I can't stop you."

"So—please do me a favor."

"If I let you run away in full view, I will be scolded later."

"You are just fighting with people, and you will be released after a few days of detention."

"During the few days you were imprisoned, I will also ask the jailers to take care of you."

"So—help me, don't make it too hard for me, okay?"

Akiyama's tone was full of pleading colors.

Mucun glanced at Akiyama, who was nearly 2 heads shorter than him, and then sighed softly:

"...All right. The two of us are old acquaintances, and I won't make it too difficult for you."

After finishing speaking, Mucun stretched out his hands towards Akiyama.

Seeing that Mucun was willing to give him face and not make it difficult for him, Akiyama heaved a sigh of relief, then turned his head and said loudly to the Okabiki behind him:

"Come on, tie him up. Be careful not to be too rough."

After binding Mucun's hands tightly with hemp rope, Qiushan led Mucun away from the crowd of onlookers like a leading cow, and walked out of the crowd of onlookers.

Shimada originally thought that with Mucun's skills, he would be able to easily escape from the siege of these officials.

Unexpectedly——Mu Cun let these officials tie him up without any resistance.

Just when Shimada was very anxious and was about to rush forward to rescue Mucun, Mucun seemed to have guessed what Shimada was thinking in advance, and turned his head to signal Shimada not to move rashly.

Shimada, who understood the meaning of Makimura's eyes, stopped his feet and stood there stupidly.

Just staring blankly at Mucun, who didn't let him come to rescue him, being taken away by the officials...

……

……

After listening to Shimada's explanation of the ins and outs of "Makimura's arrest", Lin, with her head down and a sullen face, moved her lips wildly up and down.

Lynn: (哉盘哦) "That bastard, that bastard, that bastard, that bastard, that bastard, that bastard, that bastard, that bastard, that bastard, that bastard, that bastard, that bastard, that bastard..."

"My lord..." Asai, who had been kneeling beside Lin, sighed softly at this moment, "Your bad habit of thinking about things when you are in a bad mood, please find a way to correct it..."

"... Seventh Guards."

Asai's full name is "Asai Shichirobei".

In order to read it more easily, Lin always called Asai "Seven Soldiers".

"I'm here."
