I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

After all, Hasegawa took out a bunch of keys from his arms and opened the door of Mucun's cell.

"I knew you would come to save me." Mu Cun grinned, "With my lord's character, how could she let her subordinates suffer unjust injustice."

"But the way you saved me was much gentler than I imagined."

"I thought you would definitely stand in front of me with a bloody look."

"Our original plan was actually to rob the prison." Asai said, "But because of Hasegawa Heizo's help, we saved a lot of effort."

"Senior Mucun, let's get out of here first." Shimada, who was holding Mucun's sword, said at this time, "As we go out, we will tell you how we rescued you."

After shaking the dust on the hakama, and taking back his knife from Shimada's hand, Mucun followed Hasegawa and the others and walked out of the prison in a big way.

When walking out of this prison, Mucun just learned from Shimada's mouth the whole process of their group rescuing him.

"...So that's the case." After lightly nodding his head, Mucun solemnly bowed to Hasegawa and thanked him, "Master Hasegawa, thank you for your help."

"You're welcome." Hasegawa said in a calm tone, "It's just a trivial matter."

"Makimura." At this moment, Asai suddenly said, "Come with me. Shimada, you come too. Master Hasegawa, I'm sorry, I have some important things to talk to my companions, May I ask you to avoid it for a while?"

Hasegawa didn't respond aloud, just nodded slightly.

Asai led Hasegawa and Shimada to a dark alley not far away.

As for Hasegawa, he also obediently stood where he was, leaving room for Asai and the others to talk privately.

As soon as the three of them stepped into this dark alley, they felt a black shadow descending from the side of the alley, and then landed firmly in front of the three of them.

"My lord..." Mu Cun let out a small exclamation.

The figure that landed in front of the three of them was none other than Kinoshita Rin.

In order to avoid being recognized by Hasegawa as the Buddha's enemy, Kinoshita Rin never showed up, and has been hiding in the dark, secretly following behind Asai and Shimada.

Appearing in front of and behind the three people in Mucun, Kinoshita Lin didn't say a word.

Instead, he walked around Mucun first, and after confirming that Mucun had no injuries, he let out a sigh of relief.

"Yahachi, it looks like you didn't get hurt. You don't have any discomfort, do you?"

"Yeah." Mu Cun nodded his head vigorously, "Except for some pain in the places that were stabbed and stabbed just now, there is no discomfort anywhere on the body."

"That's good." After lightly nodding, Kinoshita Lin changed her serious tone and expression, "Mukun, the cooperation with Shenshan and the others is over."

The expression on Mucun's face was very calm, as if he had expected Kinoshita Rin to say that.

"You are now the target of the big bosses in Kyoto Prefecture."

Lynn continued.

"Although I don't know what kind of feud you had with the big boss of Kyoto Prefecture, but I don't think that guy will just let you go."

"It is too dangerous to continue to cooperate with Shenshan after becoming the target of Dabantou."

"I don't want my staff to take this avoidable risk."

"Terminate the cooperation with Shenshan, and then you leave Kyoto for the time being to avoid the limelight. Asai and Shimada and I will continue to stay in Kyoto."

Lin's tone was calm, but there was an undeniable meaning in it.

"...My lord." Mu Cun grinned, "If the cooperation with Shenshan is suspended, how can we get out that Xuanzheng who was imprisoned?"

"You don't have to worry about this." Lin said without thinking, "As long as you use your brain, there are always more solutions than difficulties."

"Mihachi, do you have any objections to what I just said?"

After all, Lin didn't say any more.

He just looked straight at Mucun in front of him, waiting for the response from Mucun in front of him.

Not only Lin, but Asai and Shimada also focused their attention on Mucun, waiting for Mucun's response.

Makimura pursed her lips.

After raising his hand and scratching his hair, Mucun said softly in a slightly apologetic tone:

"...Sorry, my lord. May I disobey once?"

"...tell me why."

"Do you want to give a reason?"

"If your reasons can convince me, I might allow you to disobey."

"...My lord. Like Shenshan, I feel that this '45 murder case' is not as simple as it seems."

Makimura said softly.

"I have worked in Kyoto Yoli for five years, and I have seen many similar cases."

"We all call this kind of case 'a case within a case.'"

"Deliberately create a ostentatious case to attract the attention of the government. After attracting the attention of the government, go to do what you really intend to do."

"Judging from all the current signs, this '45 murder case' is very similar to a 'case within a case'..."

"Currently all the law and order forces in Kyoto are in the hands of that idiot Tadahiro Toda."

"Master Shenshan currently has no soldiers under his command, and the only person he can rely on... is me."

"If I don't find out what this group of people are planning to do, I really have no choice but to leave the capital like this."

Mucun's tone didn't fluctuate, as if he was saying something commonplace.

But both Lin and Asai and Shimada next to him could hear the rock-like firmness in Mucun's tone.

Lin folded her arms around her chest, quietly looking at Mucun in front of her.

After half an hour—

"...I understand." Lin sighed lightly.

"Mihachi."

"I'm here."

Lin walked slowly to Mucun's side, raised her hand and patted Mucun's waist vigorously.

"Do what you want to do."

Mu Cun was slightly taken aback.

"Ok!"

Then he nodded vigorously, turned around and rushed out of the alley.

Looking at the back of Mucun who was leaving quickly, Lin said to Shimada beside her:

"Shimada."

"exist!"

"You follow Mucun."

"Huh?" Shimada showed hesitation, "My lord...I'm...clumsy, if I go to assist Mucun again, maybe I won't be able to help much like just now..."

"Stop talking nonsense. If you tell you to go, go."

"Yes Yes!"

After Shimada hurriedly chased after Mucun's back, Asai turned his head, and Chaolin said softly:

"My lord, I didn't expect you to agree so readily to Mucun to investigate the case further. I thought you would have a big fight with Mucun."

"Didn't you see Mucun's eyes just now?"

A faint smile appeared on Lin's face at this moment.

"People with that kind of eyes can't be persuaded."

"Since you can't persuade me, it's better to just let go."

"Haha." Asai chuckled softly, "So—my lord, what should we do next? Go back to the hotel and drink tea while waiting for Mucun and their triumphant return?"

"No." Lin shook her head, "When I followed you to the prison where Mucun was held, I heard some news from some passers-by that made people have to pay attention."

"News?" Asai slowly frowned, "What news?"

"The shogunate hired a bunch of ninjas to guard Nijo Castle tonight."

"Ninja?" Asai's brows frowned even deeper.

"Right now, in the whole world, the only ninjas capable of serving as the guards of Nijo Castle are..."

"The ninja in Shiranui." Asai answered aloud.

"After all, this is from a passer-by. Whether it is true or not is unknown." Lin said softly, "But it is indeed necessary to check this kind of news carefully."

"The relationship between the shogunate and Shiranui is so good that they can be hired as guards for such an important place as Nijo Castle... This is not good news for our Calabash House."

"Let's go, Asai. Let's find out what's going on."

"Yes!"

……

……

Mucun and Shimada hurried back to Hasegawa. Mucun first bowed respectfully to Hasegawa, thanked Hasegawa again, and expressed his apology for keeping Hasegawa waiting.

Hasegawa nodded slightly to express his gratitude and apology from Mucun, and asked Mucun aloud:

"You have escaped from the prison now, do you have any plans next? Are you going to leave the capital, or..."

"I won't leave Kyoto." Mucun said without thinking, "My cooperation with Master Shenshan is not over yet."

Hasegawa seemed to have expected that Mucun would say that, and his reaction was flat, only a slight smile.

"Then—" Hasegawa continued to ask, "What do you plan to do next?"

Mucun did not immediately answer Hasegawa's question.

Instead, he turned his head and looked at Shimada beside him.

"Shimada, did you manage to sprinkle 'Wakasa incense' on that bald body?"

"Yes." Shimada nodded solemnly.

"That's good."

After asking Shimada's question, Mucun turned his gaze back to Hasegawa.

"Next--go to a friend of mine to borrow a dog for use."

"My friend's dog has a very powerful nose, and he has also received special training from my friend. He is very good at tracking people or objects by smell. When I used to work, I often asked him to borrow his dog. Come use it."

After finishing speaking, Mucun took out a small handkerchief from his pocket.

After unfolding the small handkerchief, a handful of powder with a strange fragrance lay quietly inside.

This is the pinch of Wakasa incense that Mucun quickly poured from the cloth bag into his palm before throwing Wakasa incense to Shimada.

Looking at the wakasa fragrance in his palm, Mucun murmured softly:

"Wakasa incense is not only rare, but also rarely used. Almost no one in Kyoto uses this incense powder. Compared with other incense powders, the biggest advantage of Wakasa incense is that it lasts for a very long time."

"Thank you." Oo bowed to Dosuke and Ade in thanks.

Under the guidance of Dosuke and Oide, Ogata and A-Machi walked out of the burnt area smoothly and arrived at the place where the candlelight shines together.

Dosuke and Achu seemed not used to people bowing to them, especially samurai bowing to them, so the two suddenly became stiff, and they didn't even know how to move their hands.

"No, you're welcome!" Dou Zhu stammered, "Master Samurai, I wish you prosperity in martial arts!"

"Here's a little thank you." Ogata smiled and took out a few pastries from the small bag hanging on his waist and handed them to Dosuke and Aide.

This is exactly the grandma cake that my mother-in-law gave him when he said goodbye to his mother-in-law this morning.

"Thank you!"

After seeing these pieces of grandma cakes lying in their palms, Dosuke and Ah Chu's eyes immediately showed a dazzling look.

Seeing off the two brothers and sisters who received the grandma cake and left the field of vision of Ogata and Atachi with a bouncing, A-Machi smiled and leaned to Ogata's side, saying:

"You actually have grandma cake, where did you buy it?"
