I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

But just to be on the safe side, Ogata decided to take the time to review some of the more difficult or easy to memorize parts of the Four Books and Five Classics during the period before the "Imperial Trial Combine".

After all, he promised Hasegawa that he would reciprocate with Hasegawa and help Hasegawa.

If you don't even pass the "Imperial Trial" in the end, you'll laugh your ass off

Just as Ogata was carefully reading the "Book of Rites" with the largest number of words among the Four Books and Five Classics in his hand, Guasheng came back with a large tea tray.

After discovering that Ogata was reading the Book of Rites, Gua Sheng asked curiously:

"Mashima-kun, are you so eager to learn?"

"No." Ogata shook his head, "If it wasn't because I participated in the imperial trial, otherwise I would definitely not read these books."

"Mashima-kun, have you participated in the imperial trial?" Gua Sheng's face was full of surprise.

This is not something worth concealing, so Ogata told Guasheng that he had participated in the "Imperial Trial" in every detail.

Of course, Ogata would not foolishly tell the real reason why he participated in the "Imperial Trial".

He only said that he thought the "trial match before the imperial court" was very interesting, so he planned to join in the fun.

After learning that Ogata had signed up for the "Imperial Trial", Gua Chang let out a sigh of relief, and then sighed softly:

"That's great, I want to participate in the imperial trial too"

After finishing speaking, Gua Sheng raised his hand to caress his chest, which was not much bulging than a man's.

The "Imperial Trial Match" does not allow women to participate. This rule alone dooms Guasheng to miss the "Imperial Trial Held".

"Miss Guasheng, are you also interested in the Yuqian Trial?" Ogata asked.

"It's not." Gua Sheng smiled wryly and shook his head, "The reason why I want to participate in the imperial trial is because of some other reasons."

After finishing speaking, Gua Sheng picked up the teacup he had just brought, and drank the tea in the cup in one go.

"Forget it, it's useless to say these now. If you can't participate in the imperial trial, don't participate!"

"Come on, Mashima-kun, here's your tea, it's a little hot, drink it slowly."

at the same time

Edo, Yoshihara, Miumeya, Furin Taifu's room

"I said," Taifu Fuling said to Shuntaro who was lying on the tatami in her room in front of him, with a look of hatred for iron and steel, "have you been too busy recently? Why do you run to me every day?" ah?"

Shuntaro, who was still wearing the women's kimono, lay carelessly on his side on the tatami floor of the room, with his left hand propped up to support his head.

"Did I tell you before? I'm really free these days."

After saying that, Shuntaro let out a big yawn.

"You are the only heart-to-heart friend in my entire Edo, and I have no other place to go except to find you."

"Don't say that this feeling is sad"

Kneeling in front of Shuntaro angrily, Furin Taifu showed a strange smile as if remembering something, and then said to Shuntaro:

"Didn't you tell me last night that you met the Mashima Goro-kun at the bank of the Rashomon River? You can go to him. That man is working at the Shirobei clubhouse now, so it should be quite easy to find him Easy."

Last night when the night was already deep, Shuntaro broke into her room suddenly as usual.

After breaking into her room, Shuntaro told her excitedly: He was bored tonight, and went to the bank of the Rashomon River, which he hadn't been to for a long time, and then he ran into and got to know the beautiful skillful girl before him. The young samurai named "Mashima Goro" who uses Hozoin's style of spear.

Shuntaro showed a faint smile after hearing Taifu Fuling's words.

"You mean Mashima Goro-kun? I just know him, not a friend. But your proposal is quite good. If I feel like that in the future, I will talk to him more."

After saying that, Shuntaro sat up from the tatami, then stretched vigorously.

"Ugh"

Then let out a soft sigh.

"Shiranui is getting worse and worse."

Shuntaro's inexplicable outburst caused a bit of surprise on Furin Taifu's face.

"Did something happen?"

"This afternoon, the Balrog suddenly summoned our Four Heavenly Kings."

Shuntaro explained what happened this afternoon to Taifu Fuling in a concise manner.

After explaining the ins and outs, Shuntaro said in a half-joking tone:

"During this period of time, there are really more and more rebellious forbearance."

"Although there were many rebellions in the past, there have been a lot of rebellions in recent years."

"In recent years, almost every year, a few ninjas have defected to Shiranui."

"A few months ago, a female ninja named Atachi rebelled against Shiranui, and now there is a new rebellious ninja."

"The continuous increase in the number of rebellious ninjas only shows one thing that everyone doesn't want to be ninjas in Shiranui anymore."

After quietly listening to Shuntaro's words, Taifu Fuling let out a long breath, then smiled and said:

"Isn't this what it should be?"

"You don't know that there are so many broken rules in Huo."

"Once you make a big mistake, you may be reduced to the same level as a slave."

"In such a cruel environment, isn't it normal to force people away?"

"And let's not talk about the cruelty in the fire that you don't know."

"I think even if the rules in Shiranui are looser, there must still be a lot of people who want to defect."

"after all"

Speaking of this, Taifu Fengling paused.

Then he said word for word:

"In this day and age, there is no need for ninjas."

Fuling Taifu's words not only did not make Shuntaro unhappy, but also made Shuntaro laugh.

"You're right." Shuntaro laughed a few times, and the expression on his face changed into an unpredictable and weird expression, "Now it's not the chaotic world of the Warring States Period 200 years ago."

"The world is peaceful, except for the occasional hoe-bearer who rises up to make trouble, there is no more war."

"Even the samurai put their swords and guns into the warehouse, and their horses are released on Nanshan. How can we ninjas have anything to do?"

Shuntaro leaned back and lay on his back on the tatami.

"I have clearly felt that the people in Shiranui are a little unstable."

Shuntaro who was lying on the tatami said softly.

"Even if the village of Fumo is gone long ago and there are no competitors in the whole world, the number of tasks we can receive to show our talents is still less and less every year."

"This kind of world seems to no longer need the worries of ninjas, and it has made many ninjas in our Shiranui panic."

"The Balrog must have noticed this a long time ago."

"I don't know how the Balrog will use his tricks to save this floating heart?"

"Some want to wait and see."

After saying that, a smirk appeared on Shuntaro's face.

On the second day after the cooperation with Hasegawa Heizo was reached, Mucun went to the headquarters of Huofu Thief Gai according to the regulations, and received from Hasegawa Heizo the map of Edo Castle that marked the approximate location of the Shiranui-sato base .

Two large circles are drawn in the mountains to the north and east of Edo Castle. According to Hasegawa, the base of Shiranui was somewhere in the mountains to the north or east of Edo Castle.

As for the specific place, we can only check it slowly.

Although they couldn't find out where Shiranui's base was in one go, knowing the approximate location saved Ogata and the others a lot of effort.

After learning about the approximate location of the Shiranui base from Hasegawa, Lin immediately conveyed this information to "Dongchengya" who helped them find the location of the Shiranui base.

Let Tojo Daigo, the "supreme authority in the world of Yakuza in East Japan", stop wasting time and manpower on carpet searches, and dispatch the manpower to the two places Hasegawa said.

From Ogata's registration to the start of the "Imperial Trial", there are still 7 days left.

Mucun and Asai didn't go to the Four Seasons House every night.

In order to avoid going to the Four Seasons House too frequently and attracting the attention of Ji Taro, under Lin's arrangement, Makimura and Asai have only been to the Four Seasons House three times in the past 7 days.

Among these 3 times, there was one time when he was out of the air. Ji Taro did not go to the Four Seasons House to drink, but went directly to the Yurome House to start the cycle.

It seems that Asai got used to wearing women's clothes many times.

Now Asai can put on women's clothing and make up by herself with a very calm attitude.

Many times of makeup, let Asai also unknowingly learned the method of female makeup.

Hasegawa promised to give Ogata and others the benefits. In addition to telling the approximate location of Shiranui's base, he also helped Ogata and others to pay attention to Shiranui's movements.

And Xu Bian became an informant.

Ogata and the others didn't intend to let Hasegawa know where the hotel they were hiding in was.

After all, the fewer people who know where they are hiding, the better.

In addition, Lin and Mamiya are also wanted criminals that Hasegawa has been chasing.

If Hasegawa finds out that Lin and Mamiya are also staying with Ogata and Mucun, no one knows what will happen.

Since Hasegawa could not send someone to directly send the information about Shiranui to their hidden hotel, Ogata and the others came up with another way: Ogata, who happened to be working as a "spy" at Yoshihara's place, acted as an informant.

If Hasegawa found out what was going on in Shiranui, he would send someone credible to contact Ogata who was "working" in Yoshihara.

In this way, not only can Hasegawa not know the hiding place of Ogata and others, but also facilitate Hasegawa to convey the information to Ogata in time.

So there was another reason for Ogata to come to Yoshiwara to "work" every night.

During these 7 days, Ogata lived a fairly regular life.

During the day, I took time to review the Four Books and Five Classics, and at night I went to "work" in Yoshihara.

Time just passed by little by little.

Finally, 7 days passed.

The "Imperial Trial" has begun!

Chapter 394 Knowing what to do but doing it 】

Edo, Kitamachi Magistrate's Office.

“There are so many people”

Looking at the scene in front of him, Ogata couldn't help muttering in a helpless tone.

It was just dawn today, and Oo conveniently took the document that looked like "candidate certificate" that he had obtained at the registration place before, and rushed to the Kitamachi Prefectural Office, where the participants of the "Imperial Examination" gathered.

Edo is currently the largest city in Japan.

The total population is over one million.

Due to the large population and large area, in order to facilitate the management of this "behemoth-shaped" city town, Edo set up two towns, Nancho and Beicho.

In history, Edo once set up a "Nakamachi Pursuit", but the post of Nakamachi Pursuit was removed shortly after it was set up.

Ogata and the others turned onto an avenue leading directly to the Kitamachi Prefectural Office in Edo, and then walked straight along this avenue, and they arrived at a magnificent mansion.

And this magnificent mansion is the Kitamachi Prefectural Office in Edo.

A small open space in front of the Kitamachi Magistrate's Office was already crowded with dense crowds.

According to Ogata's estimation, nearly one hundred people had already gathered in this small open space.

And this number is still slowly increasing.

The people gathered here are, without exception, those who have signed up for the "Imperial Trial".

Some are young and handsome, exuding vigor and vigor all over their bodies.

Some looked old, with some white in their hair and beard.
