I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

"So I would welcome allies on board."

Rin stared straight at Ogata and Machi.

"How? Both of you? Are you willing to cooperate with our Calabash House to destroy Shiranui together?"

Ogata and Machi looked at each other.

"What do you think?" Ogata asked Ah-Machi for his thoughts.

"If there is an ally, that would be the best," A-Machi said softly.

Ogata turned his gaze back to Lin in front of him.

After a long silence, Ogata said:

"I don't mind fighting against Shiranui with your gourd house. After all, whether it's on Butterfly Island or the night 4 days ago, I have cooperated with your gourd house."

"I have already cooperated twice, but I don't mind the third cooperation."

"But I have 2 conditions."

Ogata held out two fingers.

"The first condition: When A-Machi and I find that there is no need to continue our cooperation, we can withdraw from our cooperation at any time."

Lynn nodded slightly.

"The second condition: The identities of A-cho and I have been your allies from the beginning to the end, not your subordinates, so you can make suggestions to us, and you can't order the two of us to do anything."

"Naturally." Lin said softly, "It's not the first time I've formed an alliance with others. I can still distinguish the difference between an ally and a subordinate. Are there any other conditions?"

"No more." Ogata shook his head.

"Then" Lin picked up the teacup full of tea that Feng Mo had just handed over, "I wish you a happy cooperation."

Ogata also picked up his cup of tea: "Happy cooperation."

The two replaced the wine with tea, and after toasting each other from afar, they passed the cup to their lips.

As soon as Ogata put a sip of warm tea into his mouth, he suddenly heard a scream in front of him:

"Ahhhhhh! It's so hot!!"

This scream startled Ogata, and he almost threw the teacup out of his hand.

Hastily put down the teacup in her hand, looked forward, and found that Lin was holding her lips tightly with her hands up.

His face was strangely red, and there were faint tears in his eyes.

The teacup that Lin was holding in her hand just now fell on Lin's knee, and the tea in it spilled all over the floor.

Seeing Lin's tea spilled, Feng Mo immediately got up to get a rag.

But Asai, who was sitting beside Lin, had already taken the first step.

Sitting next to Lin, Asai first sighed softly, and then escaped a handkerchief from his arms. While cleaning up the tea spilled all over the floor with skillful movements, he said to the lord:

"My lord, didn't you check the temperature of the tea before drinking it?"

"After checking, I just wanted to take a sip, but I accidentally took a sip"

Chapter 338 Teaching "Ogata Style!"

"Sorry... I lost my temper..."

Grab and grab.Asai skillfully cleaned up the tea spilled on the tatami.

Lin also sat up straight again, and while wiping the remaining tea from the corner of her mouth, she apologized to Ogata and A-Ming in front of her.

"I have never been able to eat hot things since I was a child..."

After repeatedly returning to the expressionless, unsmiling indifference of the past, Lin continued:

"Although I have decided to fight to the death with Shiranui, there is still too little information about Shiranui at hand."

"The ruling center of the shogunate is in Kanto."

"But Shiranui's original base is located in the Omi area."

"The Omi area is some distance away from Kanto."

"Since Shiranui has cooperated with the shogunate now, it is very likely that Shiranui has changed the location of their base at the request of the shogunate."

Having said that, Lin turned her gaze to A-Machi.

"Miss A-machi, may I ask if there is a change in the location of the base in Shiranui?"

"This... I don't know..." A-Machi smiled awkwardly, "After I received the mission of 'Going to Butterfly Island' at the end of last year, I never went back to Shiranui."

"On the way back to Shiranui, I learned that I had been demoted to 'dirty', so I hurriedly defected to Shiranui."

"It wasn't until the night 4 days ago that I learned from the pursuers that Shiranui and the shogunate cooperated..."

Seeing that she couldn't get any valuable information from A-Ming, Lin didn't show any dejection on her face.

After only nodding his head, he sighed softly:

"It would be great if there was someone who could know the details of Shiranui's current situation..."

Hearing Lin's words, Ogata and Fumo raised their brows.

After Ogata and Fumo looked at each other, Ogata turned his head and said to Lin:

"Maybe there are people who know the details of Shiranui's current situation...there really are people here."

……

……

Kyoto, the home of Fuma, the firewood room.

淘戅 Yunxuan g戅.Heitaro, whose left leg was broken by Fuma's iron chain technique last night, is now firmly tied to the wooden post with hemp rope again.

At this moment, Heitaro's eyes were full of despair.

In his heart now, there was no thought of running away at all.

The stone that can be used to cut the rope is gone, let alone.

Even if he cut the rope again, with a broken leg, it was impossible for him to escape again.

In the middle of the night last night, Feng Mo took the bone medicine and wiped the wound on his leg casually.

Although it is true that a simple treatment was given to him, this treatment can only be regarded as simple...

Until now, Heitaro can still feel the pain in his left leg... He can't even stand still, let alone run away.

Just when Heitaro was thinking desperately about what he would face in the future, the door of the firewood room suddenly opened with a "squeak".

Heitaro raised his head and looked towards the door of the firewood room.

I saw a large group of people pouring in through the opened firewood door.

A rather petite girl walking in front looked Heitaro up and down, and said:

"Is this person the Jonin from Shiranui that you captured, Fuma-sama?"

……

厺厽 Yunxuan Pavilion yunxuange.org 厺厽. ...

When she learned that Fuma had captured a ninja from Shiranui that night 4 days ago, and that she was also a Jōnin, Lin immediately asked Fuma to take her to see the ninja.

Under the guidance of Fuma, Ogata, Atachi, and Lin and his party entered the woodshed in the yard, and saw the half-dead Heitaro.

When Lin asked if this person was the Jonin from Shiranui who was captured by him, Fuma nodded:

"Yes, it's him."

"Is this person really a jonin?" Lin confirmed.

"He is indeed a Jonin." This time, Chang said, "I have seen him in Shiranui. He is indeed a Jonin, and his name is Heitaro."

"Hey..." Heitaro spoke weakly because of the poor food these days and various injuries on his body, "Who are you all? Why do you want me?"

Ogata crouched in front of Heitaro.

"Heitaro, let me ask you—after you Shiranui cooperated with the shogunate, did you change the location of your Shiranui's base?"

Hearing Ogata's question, Heitaro sneered and turned his head.

Neither went to see Ogata, nor answered this question of Ogata.

"It seems that your mouth is quite hard." Lin said softly.

After giving Heitaro a meaningful look, Lin asked Fuma:

"Master Feng Mo, can you lend me this guy for a while?"

"Yes, yes. But what are you going to do with him after you borrow him?"

"It's nothing, I just plan to interrogate him properly."

"I have experts in interrogation here."

Hearing Lin's words, Ogata recalled the scene where Mucun interrogated the bald man that night four days ago.

After suddenly remembering the bald head, Ogata turned his head and asked Mucun beside him:

"By the way, what about the bald head?"

"Oh, that bald head. It has already been handed over to the government." Mucun shrugged and continued in a half-joking tone, "It is said that he is in the process of arresting the remaining members of the 'Grave Digger' by the officials of the Kyoto Prefecture. , made a great contribution.”

……

……

After hearing words such as "borrow" and "interrogation" from Lin's mouth, fear immediately climbed onto Heitaro's face.

When Asai and Shimada untied Heitaro and were about to take Heitaro away, Heitaro struggled violently under the influence of a strong desire to survive.

In order to make Heitaro calm down, Asai had to beat Heitaro unconscious with a wave.

I can't count how many times Heitaro has been knocked unconscious in the past few days...

After letting Shimada carry Heitaro on his back, Lin took Makimura and others, as well as Xuanren, and walked away, expressing that she would visit again after asking something from Heitaro.

Before leaving, Lin informed Ogata and the others of the location of the hotel where they lived, so that if Ogata and the others had any questions or needs, they could come to their hotel to find them.

After watching Lin and the others leave, and looking at Lin's disappearing back, A-Machi said to Ogata in an emotional tone:

"I feel like a very interesting girl..."

The way Lin was scalded by the tea just now, and the way she decisively decided to fight Shiranui to the death, and quickly proposed an alliance to Ogata, seemed to have left a deep impression on Machi.grab grab

After A-Machi's sigh fell, Ogata smiled wryly:

"Ming, you have to pay attention in the future, don't talk about gender-related topics in front of Lin."

"Huh? Why?"

Ogata briefly talked about what happened with Lin when he left Butterfly Island and went to the base of Calabash House as a guest, and introduced it to A-Ming.

After learning about the past between Ogata and Lin, Ah-cho's beautiful eyes widened, and he murmured:

"It seems that she is still a girl who is a little strange in some ways..."

"Hahahaha..." At this moment, Feng Mo, who had been standing on the sidelines since just now, chuckled lightly, "The reason why Xiaolin cares so much about gender has something to do with her childhood."

Speaking of this, Feng Mo paused.

A meaningful look flashed in his eyes.

"Xiaolin... is also a very poor girl... From a certain point of view, Xiaolin is very similar to me. This is probably why I prefer Xiaolin so much."

After finishing speaking, Feng Mo let out a few chuckles again.

"What happened when I was a child?" A-Machi wondered, "Did Miss Kinoshita experience something bad when she was a child?"

"Ah, this can't be said, can't be said." Feng Mo shook his head, "This is Lin's secret, and I can't say it without Lin's permission."

After saying that, Fuma returned to the house with his hands behind his back, leaving only Ogata and Atachi still standing at the door of the house.

Just when Ogata and A-Machi were about to turn around and go back to the house with Fuma——

"Ah! Master!"

A loud male voice suddenly sounded from the sides of Ogata and Atachi.
