I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

"Master Yuan"

Ogata held his Dashitian and walked slowly towards Yuanyi.

At this moment, Ogata's face hidden under the mask was full of surprise.

"I thought you were going to chop the projectile with a knife"

"That would be too tiring." Yuan Yi smiled, "Compared to cutting off the projectile, it's easier to just avoid it."

"As long as you look at the muzzle of the iron cannon and the action of the enemy pulling the trigger, as long as your feet are more flexible, then anyone can dodge the bullets."

Ogata wasn't really surprised by Genichi's feat of dodging bullets just now.

The fact that Yuan Yi dared to walk towards an enemy holding a musket so boldly showed that he must have the confidence to deal with muskets.Either flash the bullet directly, or smash the bullet.

Ogata has also faced off multiple enemies with bows and arrows, and has also tried to dodge arrows and cut arrows.

So after witnessing Yuan Yi flashing the bullet, I didn't feel so surprised even though the speed of the bullet was much faster than the arrow.

Compared with "dodging the bullet", the trick Genichi used to kill Baoji just now surprised Ogata more.

"Master Yuan, what was the trick you used just now?"

Ogata had been keeping an eye on Baoji the whole time, and was ready to support Genichi at any time.So he read Yuan Yi's move completely and seriously.

After watching Genichi's move just now, Ogata was only very shocked.

Rotating the body, dodging the enemy's attack, and launching a counterattack may seem ordinary at first glance, but Ogata has seen quite a lot of tricks.

For example, Yuan Yi's "turn around" just now is not an ordinary turn around.

Ogata saw that: while Genichi turned his body clockwise to avoid Baoji's attack, he also used a special technique to make his body dodge with a lighter posture and prepare for the subsequent counterattack. charge.

Due to the addition of special skills, Yuan Yi's move just now became a powerful move that combines evasion and counterattack.

"The move I just made was called Flash."

Genichi took out the pocket paper that he had prepared early in the morning, and while wiping off the blood and grease left on the blade with the pocket paper, he continued to introduce to Ogata:

"It is one of the masterpieces that I have studied in the past two years."

"It's a very useful technique."

"While rotating the body to avoid the enemy's attack, charge up the power, and then counterattack the enemy. This is the dodge."

"Although it sounds easy, there are actually a lot of skills in it. You need to use certain skills in order to accumulate energy for your counterattack while rotating your body to avoid the attack."

After Yuanyi retracted Yangshen into the scabbard, Chong Xufang grinned:

"How about it, Ogata-kun, do you want to learn?"

"If you are willing to teach, I am naturally willing to learn." Ogata responded in a half-joking tone.

"Of course I am willing to teach you. After all, I have promised you before that I will teach you some sword swing skills. I am still very committed."

"Let's go, Ogata-kun, don't stay here for too long, if a passer-by sees Tengu and Baihu standing next to a pile of dead bodies, it will be difficult."

"Well, before that..." Ogata wiped Da Shitian's blade clean with his pocket paper, put the blade back into its sheath, walked quickly to Baoji's side, and picked up the knife that fell beside Baoji. That matchlock.

"That's right." Yuan Yi smiled wryly, "I almost forgot about this rare thing."

"This is a good thing." Ogata smiled, "Don't waste it. It can just be used by A-Ming and her. It can also increase our combat power."

After that, Ogata began to search Baoji's body, looking for bullets and gunpowder.

Although half of Baoji's body was stained red with blood, fortunately the remaining gunpowder and projectiles on his body were not wetted or soiled by the blood.

"But if you take it back like this, won't the rest of the people know that the two of us sneaked out to hunt mice tonight?"

"That's easy." The matchlock gun was tied with a strap, which made it easier for Ogata to carry the musket.

Ogata carried the musket on his back, and continued:

"Tonight, let's find someone to hide this iron cannon."

"Tomorrow night, I will say: This iron cannon was picked up from a person who was causing trouble in Yoshihara when I was arresting him secretly."

"In this way, wouldn't it be justifiable to take out this iron cannon?"

"So there is such a trick." Yuan Yi sighed softly, and then changed into a joking tone, "Ogata-kun, I didn't expect you to have quite a lot of tricks."

"This is one of the strengths that I am quite proud of." Ogata smiled, and responded with the same tone of joking.

"Ogata-kun, let's go after picking up the pellets and gunpowder, and see if we can get a few more mice at the gate of Yoshiwara."

"Well, let's go."

at the same time

Edo, the residence of Nakamatsudaira Jonobu

It is now late at night.

Matsudaira Sadanobu's room was still flickering with flames.

Working late into the night has become the norm for Matsudaira Sadanobu recently.

Tonight was no exception, Matsudaira Sadanobu had been working until just now, and finally put down the pen in his hand, put down all kinds of government affairs that did not need to be dealt with urgently, and prepared to go to bed.

In the room, Matsudaira Jonobu stood upright, with both arms raised.

And his surname Tachibana squatted in front of Matsudaira Sadanobu, helping Matsudaira Sadanobu to fasten the belt of the yukata.

When Tachibana was helping Matsudaira Sadanobu to dress, Matsudaira Sadanobu suddenly asked Tachibana:

"Tachibana, remember to get ready to go out tomorrow night."

It is one of Matsudaira Sadanobu's habits to tell Tachibana the important things to do tomorrow before going to bed.

After hearing the familiar "reminder before going to bed", Tachibana did not answer "yes" as happily as usual.

Instead, after hesitating for a few minutes, he hesitated and asked back:

"My lord, are you really going to find that person tomorrow night? Are you in a little hurry?"

"You should know that I like to act swiftly and decisively." Sadanobu Matsudaira replied without thinking, "Tomorrow night I happen to be free, and apart from tomorrow night, I don't have any other free time in a short time."

"I see." Tachibana nodded vigorously, "Do you need me to prepare a few more guards tomorrow night?"

"No need." Matsudaira Sadanobu replied again without hesitation, "I plan to go in low clothes tomorrow night, I don't want to make too much noise. Tomorrow night, you only need to go with me."

"Yes!"

Chapter 400 Old Middle School, Invasion【7600 words】

Last night, Ogata grew a lot on the experience bar.

After annihilating the remnants of bandits headed by that Baoji, Ogata's personal level and Wuwo two swords directly gained nearly 700 experience points.

It's a pity that after Ogata and Genichi wiped out the remaining gang of bandits and returned to the gate of Yoshiwara, they never met other "rats".

Therefore, Ogata was unable to gain more experience points last night.

But Ogata didn't feel sorry either.

Ogata was very satisfied with nearly 700 experience points last night. After all, when he entered the "big pit" set by Genichi last night, he was mentally prepared to return in vain.

In addition to the nearly 700 experience points, what Ogata gained last night was technical guidance from Genichi.

When trying to pull Ogata into the water and into his pit, Genichi promised Ogata that he would teach him some sword skills as compensation.

And Yuan Yi fulfilled his promise last night.

When Baoji and his party were wiped out and they returned to the gate of Yoshiwara, in order to fulfill their promise to Ogata, and pass the time by the way, Genichi passed on some experience in using swords to Ogata.

What Genichi taught Ogata was the dodge he used to instantly kill Baoji.

When he saw Genichi perform this "flash", Ogata was attracted by this move that combines dodge and counterattack.

After tidying up Baoji and others, before returning to the gate of Yoshihara and preparing to continue squatting, Genichi further introduced his proud technique to Ogata.

According to Genichi, this "Flashing Body" is a masterpiece he created a year and a half ago by combining the strengths of various schools of thought.

After learning that this "flash" move was a new move that Yuan Yi honed a year and a half ago, Ooyo couldn't help but immediately asked Yuan Yi:

"Then if I use Dodge in public, people won't find out that I'm related to Genichi Kinoshita, right?"

Regarding this question from Ogata, Genichi replied very happily: He has been very peaceful in the past two years, and he has hardly been out and about, so he has not made any new enemies.

There are only two kinds of people who have seen Yuan Yi's "dodging" trick: everyone in the gourd house, and the dead.

So even if you use "Flash", it won't make people see that this is Kinoshita Genichi's trick.

After learning that "Flash" is a trick that even if you use it, no one will find out that you are related to Kinoshita Genichi, Ogata became more interested in this trick.

In Edo, where there are countless enemies of Genichi lurking, and at the moment when the "Imperial Trial" is about to start, Ogata is too lacking in this kind of tricks that can be used boldly without fear of trouble. .

After Jianyuan said generously, "If you want to learn, I'm willing to teach", Ogata was also not polite, and said straightforwardly that he would learn this trick of "flicker".

Strictly speaking, "dodge" is just a kind of dodge and counterattack technique that does not belong to any genre.

Ogata's system can only extract this genre after watching all the martial arts of a certain genre, and then use skill points to unlock and own this genre.

"Flash", which does not belong to any genre, naturally cannot use the system to directly learn this move.

Therefore, Ogata can only learn to "dodge" honestly like an ordinary person.

Just like what Genichi said after using "Flash" to kill Baoji in a second, this move seems to be quite simple at first glance, but there are quite a lot of tricks in it.

There's a lot of technique involved in the steps, the way the waist turns, the way the arms swing.

It's just that according to Yuanyi, if there is a "stepping step" of "Wuwu Two Swords Style" as a foundation, this move of "Flashing Body" will be much faster to get started.

In fact it is.

Ogata's current "step-up" level has reached "advanced".

With the "advanced" "steps" as a foundation, when Ogata learns this "flash", it is indeed much faster to get started.

In addition, Ogata's weight is not too heavy.If you have a light body, it will be easier to learn to "dodge".

By the time he returned to the hotel to rest, Ogata had already been able to put on a "dodge" posture in a decent manner. After practicing hard for a while, he should be able to try to use this move in actual combat.

Last night, Ogata and Genichi didn't sneak back to the hotel until almost 2 o'clock in the morning to rest.

Because of this, Ogata was a little sleep deprived.

Because the biological clock had already been set, Ogata couldn't sleep for a while longer, so he opened his eyes not long after dawn.

Only Ogata, Genichi, and Mamiya were used to getting up at dawn.

As soon as Ogata woke up, he saw Genichi who had woken up and started drinking, and Mamiya who had woken up and folded his futon there.

After saying hello to Genichi and Mamiya, Ogata, with a look of surprise in his eyes, looked at Genichi who was drinking a small wine:

"Master Yuan, did you just wake up too?"

"Yeah." Yuan Yi took a sip of the wine in his glass and chuckled, "I probably woke up an incense stick earlier than you."

"Master Yuan, your health is so good that you don't look like an old man at all."

Ogata, who was forced to wake up by the biological clock, still had a tired look of lack of sleep on his brows and eyes.

On the other hand, Yuan Yi was as energetic as usual.

Holding the newly bought sake a few days ago, I huddled in the corner and drank it in small sips, feeling very comfortable.

When I woke up, I saw Yuanyi drinking there. Ogata was used to this situation.

Yuanyi is good at wine, and he can drink a lot.At present, when there are no entertainment activities, the most common way for Yuan to pass the time is to drink. He often drinks for a day, even if he drinks for a whole day, he will not get drunk. In the true sense, he can drink a thousand glasses.

Genichi's over-spirited appearance made Ogata couldn't help recalling that Fuma didn't behave like an old man at all.

While recalling Fuma, Ogata couldn’t help but feel a little annoyed why everyone went to bed and woke up at about the same time, and why someone who could be his grandfather at this age is more energetic than him

"My body is indeed quite strong." Yuan Yi shrugged and said with a smile, "but probably only for a few more years."

"People always grow old."

"The physical body always and still will gradually weaken with age."

"In a few years, I may not be able to drink early in the morning like I am now."

As soon as Yuanyi's emotion, which was somewhat joking, was over, Mamiya next to him interrupted abruptly:

"Master Yuan, if you can quit drinking, maybe you can slow down the aging of your body."

"That's impossible." Yuan Yi said with a smile without hesitation, "It's impossible to quit drinking, drinking is one of my biggest hobbies."
