I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Volume 6 Special 1: "The Mysterious Old Man"

……

……

Kanzheng two years (AD 1790), September 9th.

In a certain forest outside of Kyoto city.

"Hey, old man, don't sleep in this wilderness forest, do you think your life is too long? You are very old, you should cherish your life."

Sato Hiroshi carried his spear on his back today, and headed straight for the depths of Mt. Toribe.

As soon as he reached the foot of the mountain, he saw an old man on the side of the road.

Bald, with a big beard, holding a long wooden stick, probably used as a walking stick, and wearing a kimono with wide sleeves - this is the image of this old man.

It is very strange to see the old man in this deep mountain and old forest.

What Sato never expected was that this old man was sitting and sleeping on the side of the road, even more Qigaqi.

After waking up the old man, the old man slowly opened his sleepy eyes, looked around, raised his hand to touch his bald head, and said softly:

"...Where am I here?"

"This is Mt. Toribe!" Sato yelled angrily, "Old man, are you drowsy?"

"Oh! Yes, this is Mt. Toribe, I remembered. I'm sorry, I'm getting older, and my brain has become dull."

"Old man, why are you sleeping here? Be careful that there are thieves coming to snatch you. Recently, a group of bandits entered Bird's Edge Mountain and set up a stronghold in Bird's Edge Mountain. I advise you to leave Bird's Edge Mountain as soon as possible. "

"Why do you sleep here... It's a long story. Simply put, I was tired from walking, so I just took a nap on the side of the road. Hmm... I slept soundly..."

"Old man... I think it's better for you to go out as little as possible in the future. I think your brain is broken. How can anyone just sleep on the side of the road so carelessly?"

"Forget it, since you've woken up, let's get out of here." After that, Sato carried his spear on his back, turned around and continued to head towards the depths of Mount Toribe.

However, before he had gone a few steps, the old man who seemed to have some problems with his head stopped him.

"Hey, young man, where are you going?"

"My name is Hiroshi Sato." Sato patted the spear behind him, "Did I just say that? Recently, a group of bandits entered Mt. Toribe, so I'm going to hunt down those bandits!"

"Oh? Are you going to hunt down bandits? Just you?"

"I'm very strong!" Sato hammered his chest, "I'm wandering around now, doing martial arts training!"

"From the time I left the domain to the present, I have never lost in a competition with others!"

"As far as I know, there are only 12 bandits stationed in Birdside Mountain."

"The 12 bandits in the area can't do anything to me at all!"

"I want to help the people around me eradicate those black sheep, and hone my skills by the way!"

"Ho Ho Ho ~~!" The old man nodded, "Do you want to help the people around you eradicate those evils... It's a good idea, as a warrior, you should have the awareness to help those who can't wield a knife .”

"The bandits who recently entered the Bird's Edge Mountain... Those guys are quite arrogant. Yesterday they swaggered to the nearby village to observe the situation of the village."

"Isn't this very bad?" Sato's face darkened, "Since everyone has started to observe the situation of the surrounding villages, it means that they will probably start looting soon, and we must get rid of those guys quickly. "

After finishing speaking, Sato turned around and prepared to continue heading towards the depths of Mt. Toribe.

However, before he could move his feet, the old man's voice sounded again.

"Ah, about those bandits, you don't actually need to go find them, they've already been killed."

"Killed?" Sato widened his eyes, "Did the government send out troops... I didn't expect the Kyoto government to move so fast... They killed this group of bandits so quickly..."

"No, no, you misunderstood." The old man waved his hand, "The Kyoto Prefecture is still busy dealing with the funeral of the 'Battle of Nijo Castle' two months ago. How can it have time to deal with the little bandits in the mountains?"

"Who killed the bandit then?"

"Of course, the old man, I went directly to the depths of Bird's Edge Mountain, entered the bandits' stronghold, and then killed these bandits one by one."

"I still have a lot of affection for the land around Kyoto. Yesterday I heard from the little vegetable seller who usually takes good care of me that there are bandits stationed in Mt. .”

"When I got rid of these pests and returned to Kyoto, I felt a little tired, so I just took a nap here... Hey, hey! How did you get away? At least listen to me."

Sato now only feels that a lot of his precious time was wasted by this old man who seems to have a bad brain.

Sato, who didn't want to waste any more time on the old man, turned his head and said to the old man in a helpless tone while continuing to head towards the deep mountain:

"Old man, I beg you. It's dangerous for a bad-headed person like you to walk outside. You'd better go home and stay well."

"Don't you believe me... Well, forget it."

The old man suddenly raised the long wooden stick that was used as a crutch in his hand, and then swung it over his head.

After the old man put down the crutch in his hand, a bee fell powerlessly from the sky.

After raising his hand to grab the bee, the old man directly threw the bee into his mouth and started chewing.

"If you insist on looking for bandits, I won't stop you. Anyway, the bandits have been killed by the old man, and now Birdside Mountain is very safe... Ah, I won the big prize. This bee just finished gathering honey , so sweet."

The old man spit out the bee stinger with a "poof", and then used the stinger as a toothpick. While picking his teeth, he walked slowly down the mountain.

"Goodbye, old man."

Just as Sato was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly realized something.

"Hey! Old man! What happened to that bee just now? Did you shoot it down? How did you do it?"

"Huh? How did you do it?" The old man who was still picking his teeth with the bee's sting raised his head in thought, "Of course it's like raising the wooden stick in his hand like this, 'pia' to shoot down the bees."

"If it's the kind of bees that have just harvested honey, it tastes sweet, I highly recommend it."

After raising the wooden stick in his hand and making a waving gesture, the old man stopped talking and continued to pick his teeth while walking down the mountain.

Looking at the gradually shrinking figure of the old man, Sato was stunned.

"This old man...how sacred is he..."

Volume 6 Special 1: "The Old Man" - the end.

Although Fuma no Sato has been disbanded, there are still legends about the last Fuma Kotaro in the world.

I finally designed the height, weight and measurements of A-Ming!I put A-cho's measurements in the words of the author of this chapter~~

In order to design a reasonable data, it took me a lot of effort.

Chapter 381 Shiranuiri's Attempt [7800 words! 】

Edo, Yoshiwara, Four Seasons House.

"...Then, the four warriors who provoked me were knocked down one by one by me."

"I was in a good mood at the time, so I spared the lives of those four people."

……

Ever since Jitaro mentioned to the girl around him that he was going to participate in the upcoming imperial trial, Jitaro began to chatter about his various heroic deeds in the past.

Neither Makimura nor Asai knew how many stories Kyutaro had told about his heroic deeds.

I just remember being very impatient to hear it now.

How long is he going to talk about his heroic deeds? Mucun and Asai also don't know how many times the two of them whispered this sentence...

Makimura admired the two girls sitting next to Jitaro and Jitaro's attendant...

After listening to "Gekutaro's Heroic Deeds" for so long, I can still put on a look of great interest.

I don't know whether they are superb acting skills, or they are really interested in the heroic deeds that Ji Taro said...

After drinking up the wine in the glass, Kokutaro, whose cheeks were clearly red, said to his follower:

"How long have we been here?"

"One hour." Ji Taro's follower replied without thinking.

"It's been such a long time." Ji Taro stretched vigorously, "Okay, let's drink this tonight first."

"Ketaro, let's go."

Ji Taro put the money on the table, said goodbye to the girl he ordered tonight, and then led his attendants to stride out of the Four Seasons House.

Although he drank a lot of wine, Ji Taro's pace was still steady and strong. If his face was not very red, he would not look like a person who drank a lot of wine at all.

After Jitaro and his followers left, Asai said softly to Mucun beside him:

"It's finally gone..."

"Probably to seek sex." Mu Cun agreed.

According to the information Ogata gave them, Kyutaro would come to Yoshiwara every night to seek pleasure, without exception.After drinking in the Four Seasons House, Ji Taro should have gone to a certain house for girls to have fun.

Mucun and Asai's eavesdropping mission tonight is now over.

Ji Taro left the Four Seasons House and ran to find sex, and they had no choice but to eavesdrop on the conversation between Ji Taro and others.

It was not until Jitaro and his followers left the Four Seasons House that Mucun and Asai left the Four Seasons House together.

After walking out of the Four Seasons House, the two came to a remote corner, and then they talked in a low voice.

"It's a little rewarding tonight." Asai said.

"Yeah." Mu Cun showed a faint wry smile, "It's just that the price I paid was very high... I listened to that guy's nonsense for an hour, and my head swelled..."

"I'm a little bit concerned." Asai frowned slightly, "Why did Jitaro participate in the imperial trial? He can come to Yoshiwara every night, so he shouldn't be short of money."

"Is it for the sake of being able to compete with all kinds of masters and hone your skills?"

The "a little harvest" that Asai just said just now refers to knowing that Ji Taro will participate in the "Imperial Trial".

Mu Cun shrugged: "Who knows. As far as the results are concerned, the information obtained tonight is still too little, and some more interesting information was not obtained."

"However, it's better to have something than nothing."

When Mucun and Asai were exchanging their harvest tonight, the conversation of a group of people in the distance suddenly caught their attention.

"Hey, have you heard? At the gate of Yoshiwara, the officials from the Shirobei Clubhouse are fighting with officials from other places."

"Official missions from other places? Official missions from which place?"

"It seems to be modified by Huo Fu Thief."

"Huo Fu Thief Kai? How come the official post of Huo Fu Thief Kai is in Yoshihara? Are there any vicious thieves or arsonists here in Yoshihara?"

"I don't know the specifics. I only know that the two waves of people fought, and then all the officials changed by Huo Fu Thief were beaten to the ground!"

"When did the officials in Shirobingwei Club become so powerful? They can beat the officials changed by Huofu Thieves to the ground?!"

"Also, I heard that the officials of Huofu Thief Reform were all defeated by one person."

"Alone? Did you hear wrong?"

"I heard that it was just one person! A servant from the Shiro Bingwei Club single-handedly killed more than 20 official servants who had been converted from Huofu Thieves!"

"Really... let's go, let's go directly to the gate of Yoshihara to see the excitement."

"That's right, let's just take a look. I want to see if all the officials changed by Huofu Thief are really fucked up."

After the group finished their conversation, they lifted Hakama's trouser legs and hurried towards Yoshihara's gate.

Mucun and Asai have been quietly listening to the conversation of this group of people since just now.

After the group finished their conversation and hurried towards the gate of Yoshihara, Mucun and Asai looked at each other with complicated expressions.

"Makimura." Asai said, "The person who single-handedly converted more than [-] thieves into official cadres, could it be..."

"Yeah." Before Asai finished speaking, Mucun continued with a wry smile, "Except for that guy, there's no one with the strength to take down more than 20 official errands converted by Huofu thieves..."

……

……

Edo, Yoshihara, at the gate.

The officials of the clubhouse gathered at the gate of Yoshihara were divided into three parts.
