I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

"Master Ryūnosuke, thank you for your cooperation! When I successfully capture Ogata Ittosai alive! I will thank you well!"

"Heh!" Ryunosuke-sama sneered, "Catch Ogata Issai alive? Let's talk about it when Ogata Isai really comes! Whether Ogata Isai will come is a question!"

Although the temporary plan drawn up by Ryunosuke and Hexian successfully forced Ogata into a difficult situation where if he didn't come, he would indirectly confirm the title of ghost in my heart, but whether Ogata will come or not Not sure either.

He Xian chuckled:

"If Ogata doesn't come, then forget it. Anyway, even if Ogata doesn't come, I have nothing to lose. If Ogata doesn't come, Ryunosuke-sama, you can proceed according to the original plan and let your Let these subordinates burn Kyoto."

"Hmph!" Ryunosuke snorted coldly, then fell silent.

After a moment of silence, Ryunosuke said in a concentrated voice:

"Master Hexian, all my subordinates here will be handed over to you to command."

"I only give you half an hour."

"After half an hour, if Ogata Yidao Zhai still doesn't come, you have to take my subordinates to carry out the original plan and set fires everywhere in Kyoto."

"No problem!" He Xian said cheerfully.

"Then this place and my subordinates will be handed over to you."

After all, Ryunosuke turned and left.

"Master Ryunosuke, where are you going?" Hexian asked.

"I have somewhere I have to go. Leave me alone."

Kyoto, the mansion of Jinraku.

"I see." Mucun nodded lightly, "Master Jinle, thank you for your help."

Just now, Shimada succinctly explained the ins and outs of the matter to Mucun.

Jinle's home happened to be not far from Third Prince Street.

After hearing the explosion, Jin Le, who was curious, went out to check the situation.

When I came to Third Prince Street, I heard noisy voices.

So Jinle chased after the noisy voice again.

This noisy sound was the sound of the officials chasing Mu Cun and the others.

So Jinle happened to meet Mucun and others who were getting rid of the pursuit of the officials, and then extended a helping hand to Mucun and others. While helping Mucun and others to escape from the pursuit of the officials, he brought Mucun and others to his home and gave Mucun Heal with Hasegawa and the other two.

"Mr. Mucun, you're welcome." Jinle smiled casually, "Take it as a return gift that you entrusted your two companions to send me a message this evening, reminding me to pay attention to safety."

Mucun knew that the two companions Jinle mentioned were Lin and Asai.

"Mr. Mucun, it's not easy for you either." Jin Le continued at this time, "You have fought alone with a group of lunatics who intend to destroy Kyoto until now."

"Master Jinle, do you know everything?"

"Yeah." Jinle pouted at Shimada next to him, "This guy just told me everything you guys did tonight."

Speaking of this, Jinle put down the ointment in his hand, and then patted Mucun on the shoulder:

"Okay. The wound on your forehead has been treated with good medicine. The wound on your forehead is not serious. Now after taking the medicine, do you feel much better?"

Mucun supported his head and sat up slowly.

As Jinle said, Mucun now feels his head is much better, and he is not so dizzy.

After Mucun got up, he asked Shimada beside him, "How is that bald head?"

"Senior Mucun, don't worry." Shimada replied, "The bald head is being locked in the next room right now."

"Just now, the bald head woke up. I just asked the bald head for you where they placed the bombs."

"Where did they put the bombs?" Mucun asked eagerly.

"Yamaboko." Shimada said in a deep voice, "They put the bombs in the Yamaboko."

"They mixed their dead soldiers in the draggers responsible for pulling the Yamaboko, and they planned to detonate the bombs installed in the Yamaboko in the middle of the Yamaboko parade."

"I see." Mucun's face suddenly sank, "Is it Yamahoko? They really know how to choose positions."

Those Yamahokos have always been assembled by ordinary people, not by the government.

So if you plan to secretly install Yamaboko in Yamaboko, it will not be too easy.

And detonating the explosive bomb installed in the Yamaboko will cause great damage.

The scene of the Yamaboko parade can be described as a sea of ​​people.

The scene of detonating a bomb in the middle of a street full of people on both sides is scary just thinking about it

"If you are planning to go to the scene of the Yamaboko parade, it may be a bit late now." Jinle who was on the side suddenly said, "The Yamaboko parade has started now."

Kyoto, Shijo Street.

Shijo-dori, as the starting point of the Yamaboko tour, was already blocked at this time.

Nearly half of the people in Kyoto gathered here to watch the Yamahoko walk that only happens once a year.

Those who arrived early had already grabbed a good seat.

Those who come late can only feel annoyed outside Sitiaotong.

Some strong and courageous people even climbed onto the roof in order to watch the Yamaboko parade.

In order to maintain law and order, ordinary people in Kyoto even had to spontaneously form a "temporary security team".

The members of this "temporary security team" turned their backs to the center of the street and faced the houses and shops on both sides of the street.

Connect the long wooden sticks in your hands one by one to build two temporary human walls, encircle all the people who are crowded and next to each other outside the human walls, and make room for the middle of the street. So that Yamaboko can pass through here safely.

Granny Cake was one of those people who came early to grab a seat.

Granny Cake is lucky.

She just grabbed the position closest to the long sword hoko.

The long knife boko is the most classic mountain boko.Due to various historical reasons, in the Yamaboko parade, the long sword Hoko must be the vanguard.

The long knife boko is not only the most classic mountain boko, but also the most special mountain boko.

There must be a "children" placed on each Yamahoko.

The so-called "children" are the messengers of the gods.

The juveniles on the Gion Festival are to purify the parade road so that the Yamaboko can lead to the realm of the gods.

The children on the rest of the Yamaboko are all dolls, but the children on the Long Sword Hoko must be real people, and they must be boys around 10 years old.

Granny Cake silently gnawed on the grandma cake in her hand while waiting for the start of the Yamaboko parade.

At this moment, Granny Cake suddenly heard the person beside her shout:

"Look! The child on the long knife hoko is about to cut the rope!"

Hearing the shout from the person beside her, Granny Gao quickly looked towards the long sword hoko in the middle of the street.

On the long sword hoko, the child with white makeup on his face and dressed up dressed up held the long sword and cut the shimenawa in front of him with a most solemn movement.

As the shimenawa rope on the long sword hoko broke, people on both sides of the street immediately cheered like a landslide and tsunami.

"The shimenawa rope is cut by the child on the long sword hoko in charge of the head." This is a very solemn ceremony.

This ceremony means that the barrier has been opened, and each Yamahoko can go to the God Realm.

In other words, it means that the Yamaboko parade has begun.

As the shimenawa rope on the long sword hoko broke, the dozens of pullers under the long sword hoko who were responsible for pulling the long sword hoko immediately mustered up their strength, pulling the long sword hoko and slowly driving forward.

No one noticed that some of the towmen responsible for pulling the various Yamahokos showed a strange sneer.

Kyoto, the home of Jinle.

"Master Jinle." Mucun turned back his big sword and said to Jinle, "Thank you for your assistance. I'm going first."

"Are you going to stop those lunatics from destroying the Yamahoko parade site? With all due respect, it may be too late." Jinle said in a cold tone, "Although I don't know the reason, I have just received the Wind: Now all the officials in the capital seem to be looking for you."

"All the officials in the capital are looking for me? Ha! That's just right! If all the officials in the capital are looking for me, then I will save a lot of trouble."

After Mu Cun grinned, he said in a serious tone towards Jin.

"Master Jinle, Master Hasegawa, please take care of me. Ah, and the bald head is also please take care of you for the time being. Shimada, let's go."

"Wait" At this moment, Hasegawa's voice suddenly sounded, "I'll go too"

Hasegawa, who had been resting on the bed beside him since just now, woke up at some point and struggled to get up from the bed.

"If you want to go with us, hurry up." Mucun didn't say nonsense like "you stay here to rest" to Hasegawa.

Because Mucun knows that with Hasegawa's character, even if he is told not to come, Hasegawa will definitely follow.

And Hasegawa didn't keep Mucun, Shimada and the others waiting for a long time. As soon as he got up from the bed, he quickly put the saber back into his waist and put on the straw sandals.

Just when the three of them were about to rush out of Jinle's mansion, Jinle suddenly said quietly to Mucun:

"Mr. Mucun."

"What's the matter?" Mu Cun said, "Lord Jinle, if you have anything important to say to me, please tell me as soon as possible, I'm in a hurry."

"Makimura-kun, you are no longer the power of Kyoto, but you are just white, and you don't need to shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting the law and order in Kyoto."

Jin Le will stab Mu Cun with sharp eyes that seem to want to pierce Mu Cun's whole body.

"Since you don't have the responsibility to do anything for Kyoto, why are you working so hard?"

Mucun did not answer Jinle's question.

After only looking at Jinle for a few times with an elusive gaze, he led Shimada and Hasegawa out silently.

Jinle stared straight at the direction where Mucun's back disappeared.

Then, an intriguing smile appeared on Jinle's face.

"Chilong, I wish you prosperity in martial arts"

As soon as he rushed out of Jinle's mansion, Shimada hurriedly said to Mucun:

"Senior Makimura! How can we stop the gravediggers from destroying the Yamaboko parade site?"

"With just the three of us, no matter what we do, it's impossible to stop it." Mu Cun said in a calm tone, "So we need help."

Heitaro, who was in pain all over his body, just opened his eyes and saw the old man who defeated them with his own strength just now, as well as a man and a woman.

The man Heitaro didn't recognize him, but the woman Heitaro did.

"Machi!"

After seeing the woman's appearance clearly, Heitaro subconsciously called out the woman's name.

"Good evening, Heitaro." A-Machi said with a cold face, "Are you here to arrest me like Rutaro and the others?"

"Ryutaro?" Seeing that Machi mentioned the name Rutaro, Heitaro's pupils shrank slightly, "Have you seen Rutaro?"

"Of course. Rutaro and the others were all killed by me."

"What?" Heitaro's eyes widened in astonishment, "Killed? It's up to you?!"

"Don't underestimate the ninja. You guys are really lingering. I just finished Rutaro, but you came again."

"Heh" Although his whole body was in pain and it was quite difficult to even speak, Heitaro pulled himself together and sneered, "What? Do you finally know how to be afraid?"

"Don't be afraid, when you decided to defect to our Shiranui, you should have thought of such a day, right?"

Heitaro's tone was full of naked sarcasm.

Hearing Heitaro's sarcasm, Ogata frowned.

Just as Ogata opened his mouth, intending to say something to Heitaro, A-Machi raised his hand to signal Ogata not to speak.

Seeing A-Machi make this gesture, Ogata could only close his mouth that had just opened.

"I'm not afraid!" Ating said loudly, "Go ahead! I'll kill as many as you come!"

"Heh" Heitaro sneered again, "Sure enough, anyone can talk about big talk."

"You can say such things, don't you feel ashamed?"

"How many more will come, how many will be killed?"

"Maybe you don't know? We Shiranui cooperated with the shogunate!"
