I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

A woman follows behind.

In his left hand, he held a long rod object wrapped in layers of thick cloth.

"...I am Koshinosuke Kamiyama." Looking at the young man, Kamiyama said in a deep voice, "I don't know how valuable it is for you to find me..."

Before Shenshan finished speaking, the young man rushed to the front of Shenshan in three steps at a time.

"Are you Kamiyama Eshinosuke?"

"Yeah." Shenshan nodded, "I don't know what the name is?"

"My name is Kondo Neizosuke! These two are the wife and daughter of the owner of the Metaphysics Museum, Inaba."

"Oh?" Kamiyama raised his eyebrows, "The wife and daughter of the owner of the Metaphysics Hall, Inaba?"

Shenshan has just received news about the owner of the Metaphysics Hall: the owner of the Metaphysics Hall Inaba was shot by an iron cannon from an unknown person.

Fortunately, after the rescue, the life of the owner of Inaba Museum was not in danger.

Although the disciples of the Metaphysics Hall have already reported the case to the Kyoto Prefecture, the Kyoto Prefecture already has enough things to deal with, so it can only put the "Inabakan Master Shooting Case" on hold for the time being.

"Master Shenshan!" Kondo cleared his throat, and then said seriously, "I have something very important to tell you!"

……

……

Kondo explained to Shenshan in the simplest terms possible that the wife and daughter of the owner of Inaba were kidnapped and threatened by a group of unknown people, and that the wife and daughter of the owner of Inaba had been successfully rescued by him and his master.

"...This is the weapon used by their group!" Kondo tore off the cloth wrapped around the long pole that he had been holding in his hand, and handed it to Shenshan in front of him, "My master said This is Nanman's new iron cannon, and it is a very rare item."

"The Inaba owner who was shot was injured by this iron cannon!"

"My master said—the wife and daughter of the owner of the Inaba house, and the one-eyed dragon on my back, are important witnesses that someone is plotting evil in Kyoto."

"And this new Nanban iron cannon, which is very rare and extremely difficult to obtain even by the government, is an important evidence that someone is plotting evil in Kyoto."

"These 3 people and this iron cannon must be handed over to you, Master Shenshan or Master Hasegawa!"

After Kamiyama took over the new iron cannon from Kondo, he looked it up and down seriously.

Shenshan had seen the appearance of Nanban's new iron cannon from a friend who worked at the Nagasaki Customs by chance before.

So with just one glance, Shenshan recognized it—it was indeed the new iron cannon of the Southern Barbarians that didn't need a matchlock.

Clutching the new Nanban iron cannon tightly in his hand, Shenshan suddenly felt a flash of lightning in his mind.

At this moment, a bold plan suddenly popped up in Shenshan's mind!

"... Kondo-kun. You kept talking about 'Master' just now, who is your master?"

"My master's name? Uh..." Kondo wanted to say his master's name.

But after opening his mouth, he couldn't utter half a word.

"Too bad..." Kondo's face suddenly turned pale, "I haven't asked the master's name until now... The beautiful woman next to the master didn't say the full name of the master, but kept calling the master For 'Ayi'... but the face of the master is very familiar, I always feel as if I have seen the face of the master somewhere on the street... Where did I see the face of the master on the street..."

"...Is he really your master...? Forget it, let's skip this kind of thing for now, Kondo-kun, and you will tell me 'thank you' for your master later."

After all, Shenshan tightened his grip on the new iron cannon in his hand.

"Your master... really helped a lot!"

"Hasegawa... a move that can turn the whole situation around in one fell swoop... I found it!"

Chapter 318 Shiranui Ninjutsu upgrade! 【3/3 update】

Mucun led Poji and ran on the streets of Kyoto, followed by Shimada and Hasegawa.

When running to an intersection, Porgy stopped, put his nose to the ground and sniffed, then turned around and ran towards the east intersection without any hesitation.

Porgy spread his four claws and ran wildly, stopping from time to time to sniff the ground, and after confirming the direction was correct, he led Mucun and others to gallop all the way.

Shimada, who was following behind, couldn't help asking Mucun:

"Senior Mucun, is this dog reliable?"

"Don't worry. This dog is very reliable." Mucun said loudly without looking back, "It's fine if it's an ordinary dog, but Porgy has been specially trained. It's very powerful."

Before they knew it, three people and one dog rushed into a busy street.

Pedestrians on this street were crowded with each other, and Mucun's group had to squeeze forward with all their strength and use their hands and feet to squeeze out a path in front of them.

"What's going on in this street..." Shimada said in an unhappy tone, "Why are there so many people?"

Hasegawa raised his head and glanced around, said:

"...This is Sijotong, no wonder there are so many people."

"Shijo-dori?" Shimada repeated the unfamiliar term.

"It is the street that Yamaboko walks through when the 'Yamaboko Parade' is held."

Hasegawa replied.

"The Yamabokos started off from Shijo Street. Counting the time, it's almost time for the 'Yamaboko Tour' to start."

"No wonder there are so many people..." Shimada muttered, "Are these people coming to see 'Yamaboko Parade'?"

"It should be." Hasegawa nodded, "'Yamaboko Parade' is the highlight of the Gion Festival."

"When the 'Yamaboko Parade' is held every year, the streets will be crowded by ordinary people in Kyoto."

At this time, Mucun also raised his head and looked around.

Looking at the familiar scenery all around, Mucun muttered softly in a volume that only he could hear clearly:

"Is it Shijotong... It's quite close to that damn place on Sanzizi Street..."

……

……

Even when walking through such a densely populated street, being disturbed by various smells such as human sweat, horse dung, and incense powder, Porgy's four claws did not hesitate for a moment.

Poji led Mucun and others to turn a corner and left Sitiaotong.

After leaving Shijo Street, the flow of people suddenly decreased a lot. Mucun and others immediately had the feeling of "jumping out of the pool", and their breathing became smoother.

Under the guidance of Poji, Mucun and others gradually moved away from Sijotong and the flow of people.

The flow of people around Mucun and the others gradually changed from crowds of people to nothing.

After entering a new street, looking around, there are almost no people in sight.

"...What's going on with this place..." Shimada said softly, "Just now there were too many people on Shijo Street, and now there are too few people here..."

"...This is Sanzizi Street." Mucun answered abruptly, "Sanzizi Street used to be a gathering place for Yakuzas in Kyoto."

"It used to be very 'bustling' here."

"Of course—it's not the prosperity of Shijo Street."

"Seven years ago, under the auspices of Lord Kamiyama, and with the help of... the two 'former Yakuzas', the Kyoto Prefecture organized a large-scale 'cleaning' of the Yakuzas on Sanji Street. "

"During the operation seven years ago, Sanzizi Street was swept away by Liting."

"The Yakuzas entrenched on Third Prince Street were killed and wounded."

"The yakuzas who didn't die either fled the capital, or they hid their names in the capital, tucked their tails and obediently behaved like ordinary people."

"However, because the common people in Kyoto feel that this area is unlucky, no one wants to move to this street even after seven years have passed."

"So after seven years, this Third Prince's Street is still very deserted. No one wants to live here, because no one wants to live here, so no business will open here."

After quietly listening to Mucun's explanation, Shimada was taken aback for a moment, and then asked:

"Senior Mucun...the two 'former Yakuzas' that you just mentioned to assist Shenshan Dangping Sanzi Street...couldn't one of them be you?"

"That's right, it's me." Mucun admitted very readily, "So do you understand why the Yakuza who came to find fault at noon today hates me so much? Well, let's stop here for the chat, look at Poji's appearance , we should be reaching our destination soon..."

Mucun's words were not wrong.

Porgy, who put his nose to the ground more and more frequently to sniff furiously, was moving slower and slower.

Finally—Porgy turned his head towards a small building with a height of three floors.

"Why isn't Porgy leaving?" Shimada asked.

"Because we've arrived at our destination." Mucun followed Poji and turned his gaze to the three-story building not far away, "It seems... that bald head hid in that small building..."

From the outside, the small building seemed to be a hotel at first.

But this hotel is no longer in operation, showing a dilapidated appearance.

Makimura picked up Poji, and then stuffed Poji into Shimada's arms.

"Shimada, you are in charge of looking after Porgy and guarding the outside of the house."

"Huh?" Shimada was stunned, "Wait, Senior Mucun, I want to be with you..."

"It's fine if Hasegawa and I are responsible for entering." Before Shimada finished speaking, Mucun interrupted, "If too many people go in together, it will hinder each other instead."

"And there needs to be someone standing outside to be responsible for the security outside the house."

"If there are enemy reinforcements approaching, you can call us loudly, understand?"

"...Understood." Shimada, who held Poji in his arms tightly, nodded lightly, "Makimura-senpai, Hasegawa-sama, I wish you good luck in martial arts."

"Hmm." Mu Cun said as he tore off the cloth wrapped around the Odachi on his back and slowly pulled out the Odachi, "I also wish you good luck in martial arts."

……

……

"Mr. Mucun, how do you plan to take down this small building?" Hasegawa asked Mucun in a calm tone, while slowly pulling out the knife from his waist.

The cold light reflected from the sword in Hasegawa's hand, and the cold light emitted by the Otachi being held on Mucun's shoulders complement each other.

"I plan to attack directly." Mucun replied without thinking, "Master Hasegawa, what do you think?"

"I feel great."

"Then let's go!"

After saying that, Mucun accelerated abruptly.

Hasegawa, who was walking beside Mucun, also accelerated.

Bang!

The Mucun rushing to the forefront hit the gate on the first floor of this small building like a cannonball, smashing the wooden gate that had become fragile due to its age to pieces.

……

……

"what happened?!"

The bald man who was dozing off on the third floor was awakened by the loud noise from the first floor, and stood up from the ground in a panic.

dong dong dong.

Footsteps sounded outside the door.

The paper sliding door was pulled open, and a subordinate knelt on the ground on one knee and shouted at the bald head:

"Master Ichisaburo! Someone has invaded!"

"Invasion? Is it an official from Kyoto Prefecture? How many people are here?"

"It's not an official post from Kyoto Prefecture! Only, only 2 people!"

"Two people?" The bald head suspected that his ears had misheard.

"Yes!" The subordinate responded loudly, "There are only 2 people!"

"Then hurry up and kill those two people!"

"Yes Yes!"

"Wait!" Before the subordinate left, the bald head suddenly stopped the subordinate, "Go and tell those who are responsible for the assembly! Quickly transfer all the remaining raw materials! We must not let outsiders discover the secret of this place!"

"Yes!"
