I was a swordsman in ancient Japan
Page 279
So it's not difficult to understand why Lin, Ah Ding and others were so shocked when they heard that Xuanren's master and senior brother had gone to Ezo.
In the eyes of people of this era, Ezodi is an extremely distant place.
To give a more vivid example, it would be similar to someone telling you on the modern earth, "My master and senior brother have gone to the Antarctic continent".
"Your Excellency Xuanren." Ogata said while taking off the kimono on his upper body, "Do you recognize the injury like this?"
Ogata pointed at the large dark purple skin on the left side of his neck.
Seeing the large piece of dark purple skin on Ogata's left neck, Xuanren exclaimed:
"Sir, are you poisoned?"
"Your Excellency Xuanren." Ogata continued to ask, "Let me take the liberty to ask, do you know that there are monsters in this world that can't be killed no matter what?"
"A monster that can't be killed?" Xuan Ren was taken aback for a moment, and then chuckled a few times, "I'm joking, how can there be monsters in this world that can't be killed no matter how hard they are?"
No, Ogata, it should be Ogata and the surrounding Lin and others are carefully observing the expression on Xuanren's face.
After realizing that the expression on Xuanren's face was very natural, Ogata couldn't help narrowing his eyes slightly.
Doesn't he know the undead?
This time, Changlin asked:
"Your Excellency Xuanren, before your master and brother left for Ezo, did you have any strange behaviors. For example, you behaved very strangely during a certain period of time."
"Strange behavior" Xuanren muttered, "It really happened"
Seeing what Xuanren said, everyone cheered up.
After Xuanren cleared his throat, he said slowly:
"About two and a half years ago, the master once said a very strange thing: found something extraordinary."
"I asked the master what he found, but he refused to say anything."
"It's the same when I ask the senior brother, but the senior brother also refuses to say anything."
"Since the master said this sentence, the behavior of the master and the brother has become strange."
"The two of them almost no longer go to the clinic for consultation. They go out early and return late every day. I don't know what they are doing."
"During that time, the master seemed very happy every day, but the brother seemed depressed and worried every day."
"No matter if I ask them what they do when they go out early and come home late, they keep it secret."
"Because the senior brother and the senior brother no longer sit in the clinic for consultations during that time, I am basically responsible for the work of sitting in the clinic during that period of time."
"I also tried to follow them, but both of them were very vigilant, and they found me halfway every time I followed them."
"After a period of time like this, the master and brother suddenly told me that they were going on a long trip."
"He said he had something to go to Ji Yi."
Hearing the place name "Ki", Ogata's pupils shrank slightly.
The expressions of the other people around also changed.
"The two of them didn't go to Ji Yi for too long."
"After going to Jiyi for a while, they came back in a hurry."
"They came back in a hurry, and they seemed to be rushing all the way back without stopping."
"After the master and brother hurried back to Kyoto from Jiyi, they only packed their luggage, told me that they were going to visit Ezodi, and then left again."
"Since then, I have never seen the master and brother again."
"Didn't your master and brother tell you where they are going in Ezo?" Ogata asked.
"Master, he didn't say anything, but brother, before he left, he whispered to me."
"Brother told me that he and the master are going to send that part in Ezodi, and they may not come home for a long time, so let me take a good look at the house."
"Send that part?" Ogata rolled his tongue, repeating this obviously not Japanese vocabulary.
"Judging from the name, this should be the tribe of the Einu people." Asai, who had been silent since just now, said suddenly at this moment.
The Azo people are the aborigines who live in the Azo land.
Its main ethnic group is the Ainu people known to many people on the modern earth in later generations.
After quietly listening to Xuanren's not-so-long story, Ogata closed his eyes, heaved a sigh of relief, and sorted out the information he had just heard from Xuanren.
The latest information obtained from Xuan Renta is completely consistent with the old information known to Ogata.
Zong Hai of Butterfly Island also said that almost two years ago, a pair of doctors and apprentices who spoke a Kyoto accent moved to Butterfly Island, and then left suddenly after living in Butterfly Island for a short time.
From Xuanren, I got 1 good news, 1 bad news, and [-] good news and [-] bad news.
The good news is that this trip to Kyoto was finally a worthwhile trip, and it was confirmed that Xuanren's master and brother, that is, Xuanzheng and Xuanzhi, really had a problem.
The bad news is that Xuanren, who is a junior, doesn't know anything about "immortality".As well as Xuanzheng and Xuanzhi, they went to Ezodi.
Xuanzheng and Xuanzhen clearly wanted Xuanren not to get involved in their affairs, so Xuanren didn't know anything about "immortality", and he didn't even know what his master and senior brothers were doing.
The news that can be regarded as both good news and bad news is that Xuanzheng and Xuanzhen went to Ezodi.
Knowing where these two people went after, from this point of view, it is considered good news, you can continue to track these two people.
But the place the two of them went to is Ezodi. From this perspective, this is bad news.
Judging from the traffic conditions of this era, it is extremely difficult to get to Ezo.
At this moment, Fuma, who had finally prepared the tea, returned to the living room with a tea tray full of cups filled with tea.
After taking the teacup from Fuma and taking a sip of the tea in the cup, A-Machi, who was sitting next to Ogata, suddenly tugged at Ogata's sleeve:
"Ayi, are you planning to go to Ezodi next?"
"Do not."
After a long silence, Ogata put down the teacup and shook his head lightly.
"There is no need to rush to Ezo Land or something."
"Let's do another important thing first."
"Another important matter?" Ah-Ming wondered, "What important matter?"
"Is there even a need to ask?" Ogata smiled, and a little coldness shot out of his eyes, "Of course it is to put out Shiranui!"
Hearing Ogata's words, A-Ming was shocked, and Lin, who was sitting opposite Ogata, raised her eyebrows, and looked at Ogata with a little more interest.
"If you don't try to get rid of Shiranui, it's like a pile of shit hanging on your head. It will fall down at some point, disgusting you."
Ogata raised his finger and pointed to the top of his head, making a strange and strange metaphor.
"I don't want a few ninjas from Shiranui to come out and attack me when I'm fighting a bear after running to Ezo."
"Instead of waiting for them to come to the door, it's better to act first and solve the threat in Shiranui forever in one go!"
As soon as Ogata's words fell, there was sudden applause from the opposite side of Ogata.
Ogata turned his head and looked forward.
I saw Lin clapping gently.
"Instead of waiting for them to come to your door, it's better to strike first." Lin repeated what Ogata said just now, "That's right! That's a very good sentence."
"Ogata Ittosai, let me confirm why you attacked Nijo Castle that night 4 days ago? Is it to kill the ninjas in Shiranui inside Nijo Castle?"
"Probably." Ogata replied.
"Why? Is there any deep hatred between you and Shiranui?"
Hearing Lin's question, Ogata turned his head and cast a questioning look at A-Machi beside him.Asked A-cho with his eyes: Can you say it?
Machi, who understood the meaning in Ogata's eyes, nodded lightly.
After getting A-Machi's permission, Ogata said slowly:
"To put it simply, my companion defected to Shiranui for various reasons."
Ogata succinctly explained about A-Machi.
After quietly listening to Ogata's words, Lin said in a half-joking tone:
"Shiranui just cooperated with the shogunate, but you just messed up Shiranui's task of guarding Nijo Castle. I'm afraid Shiranui will never die with you in the future."
"That's why I said that I want to destroy Shiranui before Shiranui starts targeting me and A-Machi." Ogata responded in the same half-joking tone.
After looking at Ogata with meaningful eyes for a few times, he straightened up slightly.
Just when Lin opened her mouth and was about to say something, she suddenly stopped.
After a bit of hesitation and struggle flashed across his face, he sighed lightly.
"Before talking about the business, let's talk about it first."
After muttering like this, Lin turned her serious gaze to Ogata in front of her again.
"Ogata Yidaosai." Lin called Ogata's name in a serious tone.
"What are you doing?" Ogata, who didn't understand why Lin suddenly looked serious, asked in a puzzled tone.
Lin stared at Ogata for a while with serious eyes.
He suddenly lowered his upper body and bowed solemnly to Ogata.
"How do you say that, I'm sorry."
Lin faltered, looking like she wanted to say something but didn't want to say it, but in the end she mustered up her strength and continued to speak.
"I did something very rude to you when I first met you."
"please forgive me."
Ogata was slightly taken aback by Lin's sudden apology.
Immediately afterward, Lin's apology came to his mind, and it was aimed at the unpleasant experience he had with Lin when he was a guest at their gourd house.
"It's just a trivial matter." Ogata said, "I didn't take that matter to heart from the beginning, please raise your head."
"Hey." A-Machi poked Ogata beside him with his elbow, and said with a volume that only she and Ogata could hear clearly, "What are you and Ms. Kinoshita talking about?"
"I'll tell you the details later." Ogata replied in a low voice like A-Machi.
After straightening her body up again, Lin cleared her throat:
"Thank you for your generosity."
"Then let's get down to business."
Lin turned her serious gaze to Ogata again.
"Ogata Iktosai, Ms. Atachi, are you two willing to cooperate with our Gourd House?"
"Cooperation?" Ogata raised his eyebrows, "Cooperation for what?"
The corners of Lin's mouth twitched slightly:
"Does it matter? Of course we will destroy Shiranui together!"
Lin's words caused the surrounding space to fall into a brief silence.
After a while, Ah-cho said with a look of astonishment:
"Does your Calabash House have any grudge against Shiranui?"
"Of course. And the hatred is not small." Lin replied without thinking, "They are just afraid of my uncle, so they dare not come to seek revenge."
"Now Shiranui and the shogunate are cooperating with each other. This is bad news for us at the Gourd House."
"With the current Balrog's vengeful personality, he must be thinking about revenge all the time."
"Now that they are cooperating with the shogunate and gaining the support of the shogunate, their strength has greatly increased. Who knows what actions they will make at the moment when their strength is greatly increased."
"Ogata Iktosai, my philosophy is the same as yours."
"Instead of waiting for the enemy to take the initiative to attack, it is better to take the initiative to attack first."
"I think exactly the same as you, Ezo or something, don't be in a hurry. First try to get rid of the Shiranui that will jump out at some point and disgust you!"
"Although we have uncle in charge of our gourd house, the number of people who can fight is still relatively small. In my gourd house, counting uncle, me and Jian Gong, the total number of people who can fight is only 6 people. "
"It's still too much to fight against the largest and strongest ninja force in Japan with 6 people."
