I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

"Hello."

After the sound fell, He Xian, who was startled by the sudden sound, quickly turned his head to follow the sound.

The owner of this male voice is an old man who is carrying a beautiful woman on his back.

Looking at the old man, He Xian's face sank.

I thought to myself:

When and where did this guy appear just now?

He Xian was completely unaware that a person appeared not far from his side.

The surrounding Ryunosuke's subordinates didn't seem to have noticed in advance that there was an extra old man in the area not far away, so they all reached out to the knife on the left waist as if they were facing a big enemy.

"Don't be nervous." The old man waved his hand, "I'm just here to pass on a message. After I finish the message, I'll leave immediately."

"Send a message?" He Xian asked suspiciously.

"If you want to find Ogata Yidao Zhai, go to Nijo Castle." The old man said this word by word.

"Erjo City?" The doubt on He Xian's face became more intense.

It wasn't just Crane Xian who showed doubts, but also Ryunosuke's subordinates around him also showed doubts.

At this moment, an unknown person yelled:

"Look! Look at Nijo Castle!"

As soon as the yell from someone who didn't know came down, He Xian hurriedly looked in the direction of Ertiao Castle.

After turning his gaze to the direction of Nijo Castle, He Xian's pupils suddenly shrank.

I saw thick black smoke floating over Erjo Castle.

And these black smoke all come out from Erjo City.

While black smoke was coming out, He Xian could vaguely see flames coming out of Ertiao City.

"Ertiao City is on fire?!" Horror appeared on He Xian's face.

Looking at Ertiao Castle emitting black smoke and flames, and then thinking about what that person said to him just now, He Xian must have suddenly realized something.

"No way," He Xian murmured absentmindedly, "Is that Ogata Isai Tosai a lunatic?! Does he know what it means to attack Nijo Castle?!"

The surrounding Ryunosuke's subordinates also panicked at this time.

"Master Hexian" one of Ryunosuke's subordinates standing next to Hexian hesitated, "What should we do now?"

"Go!" He Xian shouted after a long silence, "Go to Ertiao City!"

Although it's been two years since they left, Shun Liu's face hasn't changed much.

"Ah Ba, I knew you would come here." Shun Liu had a gentle smile on his face.

"Because I remember the habits of the two of us." Mucun said softly, "This place is our secret stronghold. We used to practice swords and drink together here. After knowing that you are also in Kyoto, I know that you will be able to Six, you will definitely come here too."

"Time is so fast." Shunliu said to Mucun in a relaxed tone that seemed to be chattering homely, "It's already been two years since the fire at dawn and our parting ways."

"Yes." Mu Cun pursed his lips tightly, "I still remember all the scenes that happened on the day we two parted ways."

More than a month after the Tianming fire broke out 2 years ago.

Tianming 8th year AD 1788, April 4th.

"Makimura Kunie, I'm here to see you."

It is the voice of Mount Shenshan.

Mucun, who was recuperating with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes and looked forward after hearing the voice from Shenshan.

Shenshan was standing behind the wooden fence, looking at him and Shunliu with complicated eyes.

At this time, Mucun and Shunliu were both imprisoned in the cage of Chengbei Prison.

Because they are both special criminals, they received special care: only the two of them were detained in the entire cell, and no one else was put into their cell to keep them company.

"It took me a lot of effort to get the two of you who committed the crime of disobedience to be pardoned." Shenshan said softly, "You will be able to come out in seven days."

The reason why Mucun and Shunliu were imprisoned was naturally "crime of disobedience".

When Tadahiro Toda, the governor of Kyoto, ordered the protection of Nijo Castle, only the two of them refused to obey the order and ran to evacuate the civilians.

When the flames of the Tianming fire finally receded because there was nothing else to burn, the two were sent to the prison without any surprise.

"Let's all cheer up."

Shenshan looked at Mucun, who was leaning against the corner of the wall, and then at Shunliu, who was lying on his side on the ground with his back turned.

Although he couldn't see Shun Liu's face, Shenshan could tell that Shun Liu was not sleeping, he was awake.

Shenshan tried his best to speak to the two in a relaxed and calm tone.

"With the way you are now, you won't be able to do anything after you get out of prison."

Mucun and Shunliu: ""

It's a pity that no one responded to Shenshan's words.

Seeing that the two of them were still unmoved by what he just said, Shenshan sighed again.

"Shunliu." Shenshan cast complicated eyes on Shunliu, "I'm very sorry about Adian."

Adian Shunliu's wife, who just got married half a year ago, died in the Tianming fire a month ago.

Not killed by fire.

Nor was it smoked to death.

It was trampled to death by the fleeing crowd

In the Tianming fire a month ago, most people were either killed by the fire or smoked to death.

Instead, in a chaotic environment, he was trampled to death by the people around him.

After hearing Shenshan's words, Shunliu finally had a little reaction and his whole body shook.

"Master Shenshan." At this moment, Mucun, who had been silent since just now, said to Shenshan in a calm and terrifying tone, "When Shunliu and I were imprisoned, we had already decided that we would not see each other again. Let’s do Kyoto’s power.”

"What?!" Shen Shan, who hadn't expected Mu Cun's words, screamed, "Why?!"

"Master Shenshan. I used to think that warriors symbolized glory."

Makimura said slowly.

"In my mind, samurai is synonymous with eliminating the strong and supporting the weak."

"That's why I always dreamed of becoming a samurai."

"But it wasn't until I became a samurai that I realized that the real samurai was so far from the samurai in my mind."

"The real samurai is so unbearable"

"After working in Kyoto for so many years, I realized that what Abe Riri told us before was right!"

"The vocation of the warriors is really to protect the powerful and be their dogs!"

Mucun began to cry in his tone.

"Things that have happened in front of me have disappointed me time and time again with the Samurai"

"The big fire a month ago finally made me feel hopeless."

"Compared with the lives of ordinary people, the protection of the so-called shogunate authority is actually given priority."

"Ertiao City was protected, but countless people died!"

"If all the officials who were used to protect Ertiao City were transferred to help the people evacuate, how many people would survive!"

"Master Shenshan"

Clear tears welled up from Mucun's eyes.

"I am really disappointed in the samurai now!"

"I don't want to be a samurai anymore, and I don't want to be a Kyoto warrior anymore!"

"As long as Shunliu and I are still in Kyoto's Yuli, sooner or later we will encounter this kind of lousy mission that must prioritize protecting the powerful!"

"We don't want to be the dogs of the rich and powerful anymore!"

Mucun's tone was sonorous and forceful.

It reveals firmness like a rock.

"I understand." After a long silence, Shenshan sighed heavily, "I will revoke the establishment of the two of you in our Kyoto Prefecture in the future."

Mu Cun wiped the tears from his face.

"Lord Shenshan, let's go our separate ways."

Makimura continued.

"To be honest, I don't want to see you again, Lord Shenshan, for the rest of my life."

"I will try my best not to return to Kyoto."

"Seeing you will bring back my painful past in Kyoto. If you meet me somewhere in the future, please pretend that you didn't see me."

"I see." Shenshan smiled wryly, "I can understand that I promise you that if I meet you two somewhere in the future, I will pretend not to see you."

After Shenshan left, Mucun rubbed his face vigorously, and said to Shunliu who was beside him:

"Shunliu, when you get out of prison and leave the capital, what are your plans?"

"I'm going to blow up Kyoto."

As soon as Mucun's voice fell, Shunliu said so without thinking.

"The first place I want to blow up is the white ground where we used to practice swordsmanship."

Shunliu's words made Mucun stunned.

"Shun Liu" Mucun looked surprised and a little panicked, "What are you talking about?"

Shunliu did not immediately respond to Mucun's question.

Instead, after being silent for a while, he suddenly turned his head and said to Mucun with a smile on his face:

"I was just joking."

After finishing speaking, Shunliu turned his head back.

"Okay, I'm going to bed, don't talk to me again."

In 1790, the second year of Kanzheng.

In Kyoto, in an unnamed open space.

"Shunliu" looked at Shunliu who had been away for 2 years in front of him, the emotions in Mucun's eyes were extremely complicated, "What have you been doing for the past 2 years?"

Two years ago, after the two came out of prison, Shun Liu suddenly disappeared.

He didn't even say hello to Mucun, just disappeared suddenly.

It has been 2 years since the two met again.

Shunroku, whose pseudonym was Ryunosuke, did not answer Mucun's question, but chuckled a few times first:

"Ah, you really made me wait. I have been waiting for you in this white field for nearly half an hour. I even started to wonder if you didn't recognize Ryunosuke as me, or I forgot the white land."

"The moment I found Wakasa incense next to the corpses of those innocent people you killed, I thought of you." Mucun said in a deep voice, "Because your former wife Adian liked to use Wakasa incense the most. Only Ayado in Kyoto frequently goes to Iguchiya to buy and use Wakasa incense.”

"I even helped Adian go to Iguchiya to buy Wakasa incense."

"After the bomb was found in the building on Third Prince Street, I was sure it was you who was behind it."

"And then I saw your face when you opened the window and threw a bomb at me and my mates"

"Haha" Shun Liu touched his face, "You really saw my face back then, no wonder, I could see your face at that time, there is no reason why you couldn't see mine."

"When Ichisaburo told me that a 7-foot tall man was chasing him, I wondered, Hachi, have you returned to Kyoto?"

"It wasn't until I opened the window and was about to throw a bomb in and saw your face that I was finally convinced that you really returned to Kyoto, Hachi."
