I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

"If you are sure you want to work in our clubhouse, you can work harder for a while longer. If you leave after a few days, we will have to recruit new people again." After complaining to Ogata angrily, Gua Sheng Turn your body to one side, leaving a space where you can freely enter and exit through the gate, "Anyway—come in first."

"Then... I will bother you."

After untying the big Shitian from his waist and handing it to his right hand, Ogata slowly stepped into the Doma place in the room.

After taking off the straw sandals and following Guasheng to the living room of her house, Guasheng said to Ogata:

"You can just sit down, I'll make tea."

After leaving these words, Gua Sheng quickly left the hall.

After Guasheng left, Ogata sat obediently by the table in the living room, and then looked at everything around him with curious eyes.

Guasheng's living room is full of "serious" and "clean" atmosphere.

The appearance of this hall fits Gua Sheng's temperament very well.

However, this living room is, to some extent, too clean.

There is hardly any furniture or extras.

Just as Ogata was looking at everything around him with curious eyes, his eyes suddenly caught something on a certain wall of the living room... something strange.

It was a piece of paper taped to the wall.

To be precise, it is a portrait posted on the wall.

Looking at the portrait pasted on a wall of the living room, Ogata stared his eyes round, and then quickly stood up to take a closer look at the portrait.

The reason why Ogata had such a big reaction... is mainly because this portrait is so familiar to Ogata...

"Sorry, I forgot that I have no tea at home, would you mind drinking some water?"

Gua Sheng returned to the living room with two glasses of water.

After Guasheng came back, Ogata immediately pointed to the painting on the wall in front of him, and asked urgently to Guasheng:

"Miss Guasheng, is this...?"

"Huh? Don't you even know this person?"

Guasheng put the 2 cups of water on the table in the living room, then straightened up, straightened his chest, and said to Guasheng word by word:

"This is Ogata Yishi with the famous name of 'Sura'!"

"Sura?" Ogata lost his voice and repeated the words Guasheng said just now, "Isn't Ogata Yishi's name the Executioner Yidao Zhai, and Ren Zhan Yishi?"

"That's a name from a long time ago." Guasheng waved his hand, "According to those who survived the encirclement and suppression of Ogata Yishi in Nijo Castle, Ogata Yishi's fighting posture in the castle tower of Nijo Castle, Like an Asura with three heads and six arms."

"So after Ogata Itsuki broke through the Nijo Castle in Kyoto, everyone gave Ogata Itsuki this new title."

"It's just that the reputation of this title is not as wide as the two titles of 'Executioner Yidao Zhai' and 'Ren Zhan Yi Shi', so it's normal that you don't know the new title of Ogata Yi Shi."

After listening to Guasheng's explanation, Ogata twisted his stiff neck and turned his gaze back to the portrait of himself on the wall.

The emotions contained in the eyes are very complicated...

——Why did I unknowingly acquire a new title...

Let me share with you the inspiration of Gua Shengxiu's character image.

【This is the source of Gua Shengxiu's character image inspiration, the girl in a certain video】→→

One day when I was just starting to write Volume 6, I was wandering at station B, and I came across a video by chance. It was a small girl who was wielding a knife to cut piles, that is, the girl in the picture, but unfortunately I couldn’t see it. Positive face.

This girl is tied with a neat ponytail, wearing a large kimono and hakama, and she is so small that she doesn't feel as long as her sword-I think it's so cute.

After watching this video, I settled on Gua Shengxiu's character image - a cute girl with a height of 1 meters.

When you don't know how to make up the appearance of Gua Shengxiu, just take a look at the picture I posted on the face.

Chapter 366 Ogata, who is respected by many shogunate officials [5400 words]

Ogata is very familiar with the portrait of Guasheng pasted on the wall.

It's the portrait on the arrest warrant.

Ogata has always had a lot of resentment towards the portrait on his wanted warrant.

He always thought that the people in the government made him ugly, and he himself was much more handsome than the portrait painted on this arrest warrant.

But the people around him, including Ah Ding, felt that the portrait on the arrest warrant was very similar, and some features of the facial features were well outlined.

And since leaving the Hirose clan, those bounty hunters who have taken a fancy to Ogata's leader can always recognize Ogata as the "Executioner Yidaosai" at a glance.

Even those bounty hunters can recognize Ogata through Ogata's arrest warrant, which also shows from the side that the portraits painted on the arrest warrant are highly completed

The arrest warrants in this era are all drawn by hand. Since they are hand-drawn arrest warrants, the portraits drawn on each arrest warrant are also meticulously different.

Ogata felt that some of the paintings on the arrest warrants were not bad, and they were still passable.

Ogata really couldn't accept the paintings on some wanted warrants, thinking they were vilifying him.

However, whether it is a painting that Ogata thinks is okay or a painting that Ogata thinks is not good, everyone around thinks that the painting is very vivid

Ogata sometimes feels helplessly that this is probably the same as taking pictures of the modern earth.

Many people always feel that the camera makes themselves ugly.

But the people around think that you are not being photographed ugly, you are already like this.

Ogata believes that the reason why he has the phenomenon of "he thinks the portrait of the arrest warrant makes him ugly, but others don't think so" is probably related to the "photographic psychology" of the modern earth.

The portrait that Guasheng pasted on the wall should have been cut from the arrest warrant. After all, apart from the arrest warrant, there is no other place where there is his portrait of Ogata Yasushi.

The paper is a little yellowed, probably because it has been stuck on the wall for a while.

After withdrawing his gaze from looking at the portrait on the wall, Ogata pointed to the portrait on the wall and asked Guasheng:

"Miss Guasheng, why did you post a portrait of Ogata Yidaosai at home?"

"Because he is someone I respect very much." When he said this, Gua Sheng looked solemn, as if he was talking about something very remarkable.

As for Ogata, after hearing Guasheng's words, he raised his eyebrows:

"Respect?"

"Mashima-kun, I remember you said that you were from Izumo, right? Then you and Ogata Isai are fellow villagers, and Ogata Isai was also born in Izumo. You should know about Ogata Isai's deeds ?"

"Izumo is quite big. Although Ogata Isai and I are indeed from Izumo, I have only heard a little about Ogata Isai's deeds." Ogata said casually.

"Then let me briefly tell you about the feats Ogata Isaitosai has done!"

After clearing his throat, Gua Sheng spoke eloquently.

"Ogata Ittosai is from the Hirose Domain in Izumo."

"The former lord of the Hirose Domain seems to be Matsudaira Gennai. He is a beast who poisoned the people and did all kinds of evil."

"His notoriety has even spread as far as Edo."

"About more than a year ago, the beast in Matsudaira Gennai slaughtered the sword hall where Ogata Isai Tosai practiced swords, and all the masters and brothers of Ogata Isai Tosai died because of this."

"Ogata Ittosai, who happened to be absent at that time, escaped the massacre by Matsudaira Gennai."

Regarding Ogata's past deeds, Guasheng, who is beaming with joy, looks like he knows everything.

"About more than a month after the master and brothers were killed, Ogata Ittosai single-handedly started his revenge!"

"He took advantage of the time when Matsudaira Gennai was out hunting, and single-handedly killed Matsudaira Gennai, who was guarded by hundreds of warriors at that time!"

"With extraordinary swordsmanship, I successfully decapitated Matsudaira Gennai! I avenged myself and those who were poisoned by Matsudaira Gennai!"

After quietly listening to Guasheng's story about his past, a weird smile with a bit of helplessness emerged from the corner of Ogata's mouth uncontrollably.

After successfully assassinating Matsudaira Gennai and becoming a vagrant, Ogata has heard countless versions of "Ogata Ichitosai's Revenge".

On the modern earth, even with the Internet, a fetish that can quickly obtain information, it is extremely easy to hear false news.

Even the modern Earth is like this, let alone the ancient times when the flow of information was slow.

Because of the slow flow of information, all kinds of news are extremely easy to go astray under the word of mouth.

Since leaving the Hirose Domain, Ogata has heard the following versions of "Ogata Ittosai's Revenge":

Itsuki Ogata killed his master with a knife because his beloved woman was killed by Gennai Matsudaira

Ogata Yasue was not from the Hirose clan, he was actually a roaming wanderer. After wandering to the Hirose clan, he was hired by Hirose clan's old Kuranaga to assassinate Matsudaira Genuai with a sword.

In this assassination against Matsudaira Gennai, Ogata Yasuke played the role of a "commander". He did not draw his sword to go into battle, but directed people with good skills behind the scenes to assassinate Matsudaira Gennai

There are many, many more gibberish versions similar to this

So the version that came out of Gua Sheng's mouth just now can be regarded as a version that barely agrees with the facts.

It's just that there are still some mistakes. Ogata didn't go to assassinate Matsudaira Gennai alone.

And he didn't behead Matsudaira Gennai, he just let Matsudaira Gennai experience a "thousand swords piercing the heart".

Ogata has not forgotten that his current identity in front of Guasheng comes from an ordinary ronin named Mashima Goro from Izumo.

So after Guasheng's words fell, Xu conveniently pretended to be "ah, I understand, I have opened my eyes".

"It seems that, Miss Guasheng, you are really familiar with Ogata Yidaozhai's deeds."

Ogata said softly.

"I've also heard something about Ogata Yidaosai."

"But what I heard about Ogata Yidaosai is a little different from what you just said, Miss Guasheng."

"In the version I heard, Ogata Ittosai didn't single-handedly assassinate Matsudaira Gennai."

"He also has 6 like-minded companions like him who are about to kill Matsudaira Gennai under the sword."

"It's just that his six companions all died in battle when they assassinated Matsudaira Gennai."

"Before I left Izumo, I also heard from my companion who was a small official in Izumo that the government also believed that Ogata Ittosai had a companion when he assassinated Matsudaira Gennai."

Ogata was not the only one who decided to give up everything and risk his life to assassinate Matsudaira Gennai.

Ogata didn't want to take the credit for himself, so he helped Guasheng complete the story she just told about him.

"Is that so?" After muttering, Guasheng waved his hand, "Forget it, anyway, Ogata Ittosai must have participated in the assassination of Matsudaira Gennai anyway."

"At the same time, it must have been Ogata Ittosai who killed Matsudaira Gennai with his sword."

Speaking of this, Gua Sheng raised his head slightly, looked at the ceiling above his head, his face was full of longing, and there seemed to be stars flickering in the depths of his pupils.

"Every time I tell the story of Ogata Yidao Zhai, I feel emotional! The blood in my body seems to be on fire!"

"Miss Guasheng, it seems that you really respect Ogata Yidaosai."

"Well! Very respectful!"

"For the belief in revenge, even if there are hundreds of guards around the opponent, he will go forward. I admire Ogata Ittosai very much!"

Speaking of this, Guasheng turned his attention to the portrait of Ogata pasted on the wall.

"In order to motivate myself, I cut out a portrait of Ogata Ittosai from his arrest warrant and pasted it on the wall."

"Whenever I get tired from practicing swordsmanship, I will look at the portrait of Ogata Ittosai."

"Every time I see Ogata Itachi's face, I feel strength pouring out of my body again!"

"By the way, I also have portraits of Ogata Ittosai on the four walls of my room!"

"Huh? Mashima-kun, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so weird?"

"It's nothing, I'm just shocked by how much respect you have for Ogata Iktosai, Miss Guasheng"

After that, Ogata raised his hand and rubbed his face vigorously twice, forcing his face with weird expressions to return to normal.

This is the first time that Ogata is so close to his fanatical fans, showing a strange expression uncontrollably

After letting his face return to normal, Ogata asked Guasheng:

"In fact, I also respect Ogata Ittosai who holds the sword of righteousness high."

"But Miss Guasheng, is it really okay for you to directly paste the portrait of Ogata Yidaosai on the wall like this?"

"Ogata Ittosai is also a wanted criminal who is wanted by the shogunate."

"You just put his portrait on the wall, maybe you will cause some trouble."
