I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Noticing that Machi didn't bury his face behind his back anymore, Ogata turned his gaze back to his own back.

Because A-Machi finally raised his head, Ogata finally saw A-Machi's current appearance.

A-Machi, who usually always had a smile on his face, and occasionally showed a sly smile that Ogata liked very much, looked at Ogata pitifully at this moment.

The expression on his face was still full of fear and anxiety.

It would be better to say that the fear and anxiety on Ah-Ming's face became more intense than before.

A-Machi tightly grasped the clothes on Ogata's back, and said to Ogata in a voice that seemed to be about to cry at any moment

"Will I also be caught by the pursuers one day in the future, and tortured to death?"

"Machi, let go."

Ogata announced to A-Machi in a calm tone.

Although he didn't know what Ogata was going to do, A-Machi obediently loosened the clothes on Ogata's back.

Ogata turned around slowly, and gave A-Machi a blank look.

then

Bang.

Ogata struck Shimo-cho on the back of the neck with a hand knife.

Unexpectedly, Ogata's hand knife, Machi slowly closed his eyes and passed out.

Just before closing his eyes, Amachi's eyes flashed with puzzlement.

After knocking out A-Ming, Ogata gently hugged A-Ming, and then put A-Ming into Fuma's arms.

"Brother Ogata!" Feng Mo looked at Ogata in shock, "What are you doing?"

"Master Fuma, A-Ming will be taken care of by you for the time being."

Ogata's tone and expression were so calm.

Realizing something, Fuma yelled at Ogata in a startled tone:

"Brother Ogata, are you going to venture into the Six Great Sword Halls alone?"

"That's right." Ogata replied without any hesitation.

"They must have laid a net now. If you go to fight, you will fall right into their arms."

"So what?"

"If you go, you may never come back!"

"Then I won't come back!"

Ogata lifted Da Shitian and Da Zizai from his waist.

"The bald head is on Mucun's side. Only Mucun and the others know where the bombs are placed."

"Leave the explosive bomb to Mucun and the others to deal with it."

"If those lunatics who set fire to the capital are left alone, God knows what they will do in the future."

"These lunatics who planned to burn Kyoto first, and now aim at me for no reason, I will deal with them!"

"Just tonight, defeat all my enemies in Kyoto! And the enemies of A-machi!"

After saying that, Ogata turned around and strode out.

"Master Fumo, I have to trouble you with one more thing. Please go to Erxiang Town and tell those lunatics in Erxiang Town that if they want to find me, they can go to Nijo Castle!"

"Erjo City?" Feng Mo repeated the name with shock flashing in his eyes.

At this moment, Feng Mo finally realized something.

Realized what Ogata was going to do.

With A-Ming on his back, Fumo rushed to the front of Ogata and stopped Ogata.

"Brother Ogata, you said that you asked me to deliver a letter to the people in Erxiang Town, and let them go to Nijo Castle. Are you planning to attack Nijo Castle? Fight against all the ninjas guarding Nijo Castle and the disciples of the Six Great Sword Halls in one go. you alone?"

Ogata stared at Fuma without saying a word.

Then walked away in silence.

This time, Feng Mo did not catch up again.

Instead, he looked at Ogata's receding figure with complicated eyes.

It wasn't until Ogata's back was completely out of sight that Fuma sighed:

"I really feel more and more that brother Ogata is very similar to Genichi."

Kyoto, Nijo Imperial Palace in Nijo Castle.

The two Shiranui ninjas guarding the only entrance and exit of Nijo Castle yawned boredly.

And chatting with each other.

"It's so boring. When will this boring task of guarding Nijo Castle end?"

"It should be soon. The banquet will be over in less than half an hour. When the banquet is over, our task of guarding Erjo City will be over."

"It's great. Although this task is boring, it's also very easy. This is the easiest task I've ever experienced in my life."

"After the mission of guarding Nijo Castle is over, we still have missions to do! We still have to hunt down that traitorous Ninja, Machi."

"This task is too easy! It's not an easy task to deal with the guy who was degraded by A-Machi, huh? Who!"

After finding someone approaching here, the two ninjas immediately stopped chatting.

After looking forward, he found that there was only one person coming.

It is a young samurai dressed in a light green haori with two swords hanging from his waist.

After appearing within the field of vision of the two ninjas, the young samurai said softly in a calm tone as if without any emotional color mixed in:

"Let me confirm that the front is Nijo Castle, right?"

"That's right!" One of the two gatekeeper ninjas said without hesitation, "The front is Nijo Castle! Now that you know that the front is Nijo Castle, get out! This kind of place is not something you can get close to. Hey! Wait! You bastard! What are you trying to do?!"

The young warrior, who was still walking slowly, accelerated at an extremely fast speed!

While rushing straight to Higashi Otemon, the young samurai drew out the sword from his waist.

The cold light reflected from the snow-white blade made the pupils of the two ninjas shrink suddenly.

The two ninjas who were not prepared for this sudden change were both shocked.

"Bastard! Do you know where this is? How dare you draw a knife here?! Sign me up"

"Report your name?" Before the ninja finished speaking, the young warrior asked back.

Then, the young samurai, who was only a few feet away from the two ninjas, accelerated violently, turning into an afterimage and attacking the two ninjas.

Unexpectedly, Ogata's speed could be improved, and the two ninjas panickedly pulled out the Wakizashi from their lower backs.

clang!

The young samurai's sword collided with the freshly unsheathed Wakizawa of one of the ninjas.

The ninja only lasted for less than a second, and then flew upside down because he couldn't bear the huge force of the young samurai, and his whole body hit the Higashi Otemon behind him heavily.

For a moment, sawdust splashed.

The young samurai shouted forcefully amidst the flying sawdust:

"Sakakibara one-sword style, Wugo two-sword style."

"Ogata Yishi."

"Come on!!"

Kyoto, Nijo Castle, Ninomaru Garden.

The banquet is coming to an end.

"Master Shenshan. Happy cooperation."

Hotta left the table and went to Kamiyama to toast Kamiyama.

Kamiyama had no reason to refuse Hotta's toast, and accepted Hotta's toast respectfully.

After having a drink with Kamiyama, Horita sighed lightly:

"It's a pity that what we did tonight can only disgust Toda Tadahiro, not enough to trip him up."

"It's enough to make him disgusted like this." Shenshan smiled helplessly, "Master Horita, people can't be too greedy."

"I understand." Hotta shrugged with a wry smile, then picked up the bottle and poured wine into Kamiyama's glass.

At this moment, the two saw a ninja rushing towards the banquet site in a panic.

Kamiyama recognized this ninja.

He remembered that this person was the leader of the group of ninjas who were in charge of guarding Nijo Castle tonight, and his name seemed to be Kotaro.

After Kotaro rushed into the banquet scene in a hurry, he shouted at the people present:

"My lords! Please follow the secret path and leave here! Nijo Castle is under attack!"

As soon as Kotaro's words fell, everyone present showed panic.

"Erjo City was attacked?!"

"How is it possible! In the whole world, who has the guts to attack Ertiao City?!"

"What are you ninjas doing! Hurry up and repel the invading enemies!"

Shenshan was the first to regain composure.

"How many people attacked?" Shenshan said in a deep voice.

"One, one!" Kotaro seemed to know that what he was going to say next sounded ridiculous, so he hesitated.

"One?!" Shenshan exclaimed.

Not only Shenshan, but Hotta and other people present were all terrified.

"Since there is only one, why don't you kill that guy!" Toda yelled palely.

He is the representative of Kyoto Soji.

Nijo Castle is a symbol of the power of the shogunate.

If something goes wrong in Nijo City, he, as the governor of Kyoto, will take the first responsibility!

Tokugawa Munemu, who was sitting in the first seat, was also terrified and annoyed at this time, yelling at Kotaro, telling Kotaro to rush the enemy back.

"We have launched a counterattack!"

Kotaro gritted his teeth.

"My subordinates are now fighting the enemy at the Tang Sect!"

"But my men don't seem to be able to last long!"

"While my subordinates are fighting for time, my lords, please leave Nijo Castle along the secret road as soon as possible!"

"Although this sentence is a little hard to say, if you adults continue to stay here, we can't guarantee that the next battle will not involve you!"

"Please get out of here as soon as possible!"

Kyoto, Futuocho.

"Ogata Yidaosai still hasn't come."

Crane Xian, who was still guarding Erxiang Town, had a flash of impatience on his face at this moment.

Crane Xian was standing among these subordinates of Ryunosuke at this time.

He raised his head and glanced at the night sky above him.

According to the night above his head, Crane Xian deduced that the time limit of half an hour agreed between him and Ryunosuke was approaching.

The agreement he made with Ryunosuke was to wait only half an hour in Erxiangcho.

If after half an hour, Ogata Yidaosai cannot be forced here, the original plan will have to be followed, and these subordinates of Ryunosuke will be scattered all over Kyoto and burn down the capital.

Seeing that the time limit was approaching, when Hexian was thinking about whether to order the subordinates of Ryunosuke present to act according to the original plan of "burning Kyoto", a strange and sudden old male voice suddenly sounded from the dark place beside him :
