I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Under the tutelage of this old teacher, Ogata really memorized the Four Books and Five Classics fluently, and it was the kind that had been engraved into his DNA and could never be forgotten.

However, under the strict requirements of his parents, he learned these Chinese studies too hard, which caused Ogata to feel a serious psychological discomfort after reading the Four Books and Five Classics.

After learning that Ogata was also a person who had studied and could memorize the Four Books and Five Classics, he failed to find a similar Mucun, so he buried his raised head again.

"Well . . . I do seem to be the least educated of us here . . . "

Chapter 355 Yoshihara Concentric 【6200 words】

Although it took a lot of time to hold a rather short "lying meeting" before going to bed last night, Ogata still slept very soundly that night.

Early the next morning, Lin asked everyone to gather in the big room where Ogata and the others lived.

Only the six-person room where Ogata and the others lived had enough space for their meetings.

If the meeting was held in the single room where Rin and Machi lived, they wouldn't even have a place to sit, they could only stand.

After everyone lined up in a circle and sat down on the tatami in Ogata's room, Lin cleared her throat and said first:

"Look at everyone's complexions, everyone had a good rest last night."

Thanks to the blessing of the sea voyage some time ago, Ogata has long been used to sleeping in the same room with Mamiya and the others.

Ogata slept very well last night and didn't even have a dream.

Judging by the expressions of Jiangong and the others, they must have had a good rest last night.

After resting for a whole night yesterday, A-Ming has also recovered, his face has become rosy, and he is no longer as pale as before due to dizziness and nausea.

Lin's complexion is also very good, and her seasickness symptoms must have disappeared like Ah-Ming's.

After saying a few simple greetings, Lin cleared her throat:

"In short, let's review the information we currently know."

Lin winked at Jiangong and Mucun.

Obviously they didn't say anything, but the tacit understanding cultivated by getting along for a long time made Jiangong and Mucun instantly understand what Lin asked him to do.

Jiangong and Mucun each held their knives and walked in different directions.

Jiangong walked towards the door, and Mucun walked towards the window.

The two checked the outside of the room and confirmed that no one was eavesdropping outside the door or window. They nodded to Lin and sat back in their seats.

When Mamiya and Mucun returned to their positions, they knocked on the ceiling above their heads with the knife in their hands to confirm that no one was eavesdropping on the ceiling.

After Jian Gong and Mu Cun sat down again, Lin said solemnly:

"According to the information provided by Ms. A-machi, Shiranui has 24 top ninjas, 52 middle ninjas, and 139 low ninjas. The total number of ninjas is 215."

"Of course, this is also the total combat power Shiranui had before Ms. A-Machi left Shiranui."

"The combat power that Shiranui has now is definitely less than the combat power that Ms. Machi had before she left."

"After all, the Junin and Chunin alone were hacked by Ogata Yidaosai in Nijo Castle a lot."

After Ogata and Atachi decided to form an alliance with the gourd house, they have already shared all the information they know about Shiranui.

Things like Shiranui's approximate combat power and their possession of a special drug called "Yasha Pill" were all clear to everyone present.

Although everyone was familiar with the information, they still listened to Lin's story seriously.

"Junin, Chunin and Genin, they are nothing to be afraid of. The only thing we need to beware of is their leader, Balrog, and their four kings: Shuntaro, Gokutaro, Kotaro, and Shintaro."

Acho not only shared the number of ninjas in Shiranui before she left, but also shared the list of the Four Heavenly Kings in Shiranui.

"Currently, Kotaro has been beheaded by Ogata Ittosai."

"Although the Four Heavenly Kings are currently missing one, they still cannot be taken lightly."

"After all, it cannot be ruled out that the Balrog newly promoted a ninja with good skills to be the new king during this period."

"We have two things to do first."

Lin held up 2 fingers.

"We only know that Shiranui's new base has moved to Edo, but we don't know where it is in Edo Castle."

"So the first thing we have to do is: find the location of the new base in Shiranui."

"As for the second thing, it is to find out what happened to the imperial trial match."

"The imperial trial may hide some interesting and useful information for us."

"In short, let's all take action today."

"I will be responsible for finding out where the new base in Shibuhuoli is."

Lin took the initiative to take on the task of finding a new base in Shiranui.

"I have a little friendship with a ground snake here in Edo. I found out the exact location of the new base in Shiranui in Edo. For such a thing, I can definitely find that ground snake."

"Uncle, you can follow me today. With you following me, and talking about business with those ground snakes, I will definitely save a lot of resistance."

"Gamiya, Ogata Yidaosai, you guys should go to the street today and ask the passers-by what happened to the trial match before the imperial court."

"In addition to looking for information related to the imperial trial, you should also find out if there is anything worth mentioning that happened in Edo recently."

"Inquire about the recent major events in Edo, and maybe you can find some interesting and useful information."

"Acting alone may encounter dangers that cannot be solved alone, so you act in pairs."

"Yahachi and Katsurokuro are in a team, and Kuro is in a team with Shichibei."

Rin turned her attention to Ogata and Acho.

"Ogata Ittosai, you should be in the same group as Ms. Atachi."

"Those of you who are inconvenient to show your face, remember to put on a good disguise."

Lin's arrangement was straightforward.

No one objected.

Lin and Yuanyi, who were ready to go out the fastest, set off first to find the local snake in Edo that Lin just mentioned.

Mamiya, Makimura, Asai, and Shimada all followed closely behind. After getting ready to go out, they dispersed in groups of two to different directions, looking for information related to the "Imperial Trial". intelligence.

Only Ogata and A-Machi remained in the hotel, not going out for a long time.

It's not that Ogata and A-Machi are cocksuckers, it's just that A-Machi needs to make up, so it takes a little longer.

Acho is the rebellious ninja in Shiranui.

At the moment when Shiranui moved their base to Edo, it was very necessary for Acho to disguise his face like Ogata and Mamiya, the two fugitives of the shogunate.

When entering Edo Castle at dusk last night, Ah-cho had been lying on Ogata's back, buried his face in Ogata's back, and never raised his head the whole time. Outsiders couldn't even see Ah-cho's face, so when Ah-cho entered the city last night It doesn't matter if you don't have to pretend.

But not now.

Now if he wants to walk swaggeringly on the street, it is very necessary for A-Machi to disguise his own face.

And the form of camouflage chosen by A-Ming is makeup.

According to Ah-Ming, she wanted to put on a make-up that even her father would not recognize her.

Ogata first went to a store specializing in women's cosmetics, and bought various cosmetics that A-machi requested.

Ogata was lucky. Somewhere not far from the hotel where they were staying, there was a shop selling women's cosmetics.

After buying the cosmetics she requested for Ah-cho, Ah-cho locked himself in her room and began to put on makeup.

And it takes half an hour to put on makeup

Now half an hour has passed, and A-Ming still hasn't come out of her room.

Ogata stayed in the big room where he, Mamiya and the others lived, silently waiting for A-Machi to put on her makeup.

In the past half an hour, Ogata had knocked on the door of Ah-Ming's room several times, asking whether Ah-Machi had put on his makeup or not.

All the answers I got were soon, soon, just wait.

After waiting tediously for half an hour, Ogata was thinking about whether to knock on the door of A-Machi's room again, asking whether A-Machi had put on makeup or not.

call!

It was the sound of the door of the large room where Ogata was staying was being opened.

Ogata hurriedly followed the prestige.

I saw a woman with incredible heavy makeup standing at the door.

Looking at the "heavy make-up monster" walking slowly in front of him with a smile along the opened door, Ogata asked back in a surprised tone:

"Are you Machi?"

"Who else but me?"

"It's really amazing makeup." Ogata said with emotion.

At this time, Machi pulled her hair into the Shimada bun, which is very popular among women.

The eyes are painted with rather exaggerated red eyeshadow.

The two eyebrows were drawn into indescribable shapes.

The lips were stained with lipstick so that they couldn't bear to look directly at them.

I have to say that Ah-cho's makeup was quite successful.

Thanks to the heavy makeup, Ah-Ming's beautiful facial features have been messed up.

Ogata, who has a very close relationship with A-Machi, can hardly recognize her

The current appearance of A-Ming is very similar to the young girl who is just interested in makeup, but because she is not yet proficient in makeup, she draws a very indescribable makeup look

Looking at Ogata's stunned look, A-Machi nodded with satisfaction on his face:

"It seems that my makeup is very successful."

"It was too successful." Ogata couldn't help applauding a few times.

A-cho's clothes originally consisted of two pieces, one of their Shiranui's ninja uniform, and one of the yukatas that A-cho bought in Kyoto after defecting from Shiranui and fleeing to Kyoto.

Because A-Machi has very few clothes, on the way from Kyoto to Owari, Ogata bought a Wakizasa and a sword for A-Machi, and also bought a few pieces for A-Machi new clothes.

At this time, Amachi was wearing a light red kimono that Ogata bought for her, and her feet without socks were wearing a pair of very convenient straw sandals that were very similar to the flip-flops of modern Earth. They walked together with Ogata On a busy street in Edo.

Looking at the densely packed crowd in front, back, left, and right, A-Ming let out a low exclamation.

"There are so many people"

Ogata and A-machi are now in a commercial area full of shops, so the flow of people is frighteningly high.

There are only people everywhere, people gather into mountains, people merge into seas, and people pile up into walls.

This street is like a river whose bed is full of mud and is seriously silted up. The river can only move forward with difficulty in this pile of mud.

Seeing a little gap ahead, I drilled in to fill it up. This is how people on this street move.

People on this street are squeezing, crawling, and touching each other like this, moving their bodies forward little by little, and moving forward slowly.

Edo was finally able to show its full prosperity to Ogata and the others at dawn.

The scene of Edo during the day and the scene that Ogata saw last night cannot be compared at all.

The thick makeup on A-Ming's face attracted many people's attention.

But everyone just glanced sideways at A-Ming, and didn't look at A-Ming with the eyes of looking at rare and exotic animals.

It can be seen that in Edo, there must be a lot of girls who are not good at makeup and paint their faces in a mess, otherwise everyone would definitely not look strange

It was the first time for A-machi to see such a bustling scene, he looked left and right, and looked at everything around him with curious eyes.

"We're not here to play." Ogata couldn't help but said to A-machi who seemed to be focusing on watching the prosperity of Edo in a helpless tone.

"I know." A-Ming said, "I am also seriously looking for someone who might know the details of the imperial trial."

Ogata and A-Machi walked through this bustling commercial street together, and after coming to a street with less crowded traffic, Ogata found a very good questioner, a man who was sitting outside a tea house not far ahead. The old warrior on the bench.

The old samurai seemed to be in his 5s or 60s, and his hair was nearly half gray.

He is wearing decent and clean clothes, and the knife placed on the stool on the right side of his body is also clean from the scabbard to the handle. It looks like a person who is usually very diligent in taking care of his saber.

The old warrior just sat alone on the bench outside the teahouse, quietly sipping a cup of hot tea.

No matter the posture of sitting or drinking tea, there is an elegant atmosphere.
