I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

The originally extremely gloomy face was slightly taken aback for a moment.

Then turn from black to black and red.

Before the maiko who made the mistake had time to apologize, Takigawa roared first:

"You bastard!!"

Takigawa's roar was very loud, and it felt like the whole room was slightly shaken by his roar.

Takigawa's mood tonight was like a powder keg that would explode at any point.

And this mistake made by the maiko successfully ignited the powder keg.

Takikawa grabbed the sword beside him, and drew it out of its sheath.

Looking at Takikawa who drew his sword out of its sheath, the kabuki who made a mistake sat down on the ground in fright, and the rest of the kabuki were also frightened by the changes in front of them and didn't know what to do.

"Takikawa! Wait!" Uesaka hurriedly got up and stopped Takikawa.

Uesaka and others were also frightened.

The rest of the people including Uesaka stood up to stop Takikawa.

Because they were too anxious, some people accidentally knocked down the table under their feet, which was full of rich meals.

Horrified kabuki performers, overturned tables, and spilled food and drinks everywhere, the room that was originally clean and exuding a lively atmosphere suddenly became a mess.

Takigawa's shout just now successfully attracted nearly the entire staff of Yangmei House.

The door of the room was quickly opened, and the employees of Yangmei House armed with various weapons, and the staff of the club who were sent to support tonight, all rushed over.

Among the people who heard the news, Takikawa saw one of the culprits who had made him angry since last night.

"Mashima Goro?!" Takikawa frowned and gritted his teeth.

Shirobei now only feels the cold sweat constantly coming out of his forehead.

He had been lucky enough to meet Lao Zhong once, but that was a long time ago.

Looking at Matsudaira Sadanobu who suddenly came to Yoshihara, Shirobei felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles. He didn't know why Matsudaira Sadanobu, who usually has a lot of things to do, appeared in this small Yoshihara.

After Sadanobu Matsudaira took off the hat on his head, his little surname Tachibana who was sitting behind Sadanobu Matsudaira also took off the hat on top of his head.

"I can't remember when was the last time I came to Yoshiwara."

Matsudaira Sadanobu put the bamboo hat in his hand on the tatami on one side, and said to Shirobei in a tone that seemed to be casually chatting with someone.

"Yoshihara is still the same. At night, the lights emitted can illuminate the entire sky."

"My lord." Shiro Bingwei, who leaned down and put his hands into palms on the ground, swallowed his saliva, and mustered up the courage to ask, "I don't know why you are here."

Matsudaira Sadanobu said just now that he came to Yoshiwara for something lighter.

What he said made Shirobei even more confused, not knowing what the "easier things" were.

"I came to Yoshihara mainly to find someone from your club." A faint smile appeared on Matsudaira Sadanobu's face, "Shirobei, please help me arrange a meeting for him to meet me now. ?"

"And help me make a room in the Shirobei clubhouse where no one will disturb you."

"Looking for someone?" Shiro Bingwei was taken aback, "My lord, I don't know who you are looking for?"

"Mashima Goro." Matsudaira Sadanobu didn't say any nonsense, and spit out a person's name concisely.

"Mashima Goro?" Shirobei's face was full of surprise, "Master, I don't know if you are looking for Mashima Goro-kun."

Before Shirobei finished his words, Matsudaira Sadanobu interrupted:

"Shirobei, don't ask things you shouldn't ask."

"I'm very sorry!" Realizing that he was meddling, Shirobei pressed his forehead on the tatami, "It's me, Meng Lang!"

"My lord, Mashima Goro-kun is not in the clubhouse right now."

"The tea house named Yangmei House has many guests tonight, and it is a little short of manpower, so I asked my club for help."

"That's why I just sent a group of staff from the club including Mashima Goro to support Yangmeiwu!"

Matsudaira Sadanobu frowned slightly:

"How long will it take for him to come back to Yangmeiwu?"

"It will take an hour at the earliest, and I will not be able to come back until there are not so many guests in the bayberry house."

"I don't want to just wait for an hour like this, Shirobei, can you help me temporarily call Mashima Goro-kun back from that bayberry house?"

"No problem!" Regarding such trivial matters, Shirobei hurriedly nodded, "I'll send someone to call Mashima Goro back now!"

After hastily nodding in agreement, Shirobei was about to stand up and go down to deliver the order "Call Mashima Goro back" to his subordinates

"Master Shirobei! It's not good! It's not good!"

A series of hasty footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door, followed by anxious shouts.

As soon as the anxious shout fell, Shirobei shouted to the door angrily:

"There are distinguished guests visiting now! Don't make any noise! ​​What's the matter, we'll talk about it later!"

"Master Shirobei! Something has happened! The people we sent to support Yangmeiwu have clashed with a group of Banner warriors!" Cursed, but he quickly conveyed the urgent news to Shirobei.

"What?" Shirobei's eyes widened.

Matsudaira Sadanobu and Tachibana, who were sitting in Shirobei, also changed their expressions. The two of them just heard the name "Yangmeiya" from Shirobei.

"Yangmei House" Matsudaira Sadanobu muttered softly.

A thoughtful look appeared on his face.

I don't know what to think.

After arriving at the scene of the trouble with Guasheng, Ogata also learned what happened from other people.

Was the handle of the saber spilled with wine?

While Ogata thought to himself, he couldn't help frowning his already frowning brows again.

The hilt is the most delicate part of all parts of the samurai sword except the blade.

The handle of a samurai sword is covered with a layer of something called "shark skin".

Made from the hide of a species of stingray.

The handle of the samurai sword is made by wrapping a layer of shark skin on the outside of the cut solid wood, and then wrapping a flat braided ribbon made of silk or cotton, that is, the handle is rolled.

The wood of the samurai sword handle and the shark skin are bonded mainly by rice and plant glue. After a long time of soaking in water, the glue will come off, so the handle of the samurai sword should be protected from water at ordinary times.

In order to protect the hilt of the samurai sword, the "handle cover", a cloth specially used to wrap the hilt, was born.

The main purpose of the handle cover is to prevent the handle of the samurai sword from being exposed to water.

Because the handle of the samurai sword touches water, the life of the handle of the samurai sword will be shortened, so many samurai are very taboo that someone stains their handle with liquid.

The noise made by Takigawa not only attracted Ogata and the others, but also attracted many passers-by who came to see the excitement.

After Ogata and others rushed to the scene, there were also some talkers from Yangmei House who also rushed to the scene.

And the person who came here to talk about it was that Lai Jiu.

After learning the details of what happened, Lai Jiu bowed and apologized to Takikawa and the others in front of him while wiping the cold sweat off his face:

"I'm really sorry! I will teach my subordinates a lesson! Please be tolerant!"

"Go away!" To Lai Jiu's apology, Takigawa only groaned as if it was a mosquito.

With his left hand, he pushed Lai Jiu in front of him, and with his right hand, he raised the Da Dao high again.

Looking at the shining sword in Takikawa's hand, the maiko who made a mistake standing behind Raijiu let out a low whimper, and subconsciously took 2 steps back.

And when Ogata saw Takikawa raised the knife again, his face sank.

Then he walked forward quickly, and stood between Lai Jiu and the maiko, facing Takikawa, who smelled of alcohol and had a face full of resentment and impatience.

Looking at Ogata's face, Takigawa only felt the resentment and anger in his heart grow stronger.

"Go away! It's none of your business here!" Takigawa Asaogata roared.

"Are you going to draw your sword and kill someone just because of such a trivial matter?" Ogata said in a deep voice.

While speaking, he slowly raised his left hand and pressed Da Shitian's sheath.

"What's wrong with me teaching the bastard who stained my knife?"

Gua Sheng and some other staff members of the clubhouse and employees of Yangmei House also stood beside Ogata at this time.

"Isn't it just that the handle of the knife was stained by the wine!" Gua Sheng shouted, "As for making a scene like this?"

While shouting like this, Guasheng also raised his left hand like Ogata, and held down the wooden knife at his waist.

Ogata silently raised his hand to press the sheath of his saber, and Takigawa noticed it.

"Heh!" Takikawa, who was extremely angry and laughed back, showed an exaggerated sneer, "What? Goro Mashima, are you a mere rogue planning to draw your sword against me?"

"You have to think about it, think about what will happen if you draw your sword at the banner!"

The resentment and grievance that had been accumulated in my heart for a long time, under the urging of alcohol, burst out with great strength in one breath.

After mocking Ogata a few words like this, Takigawa felt that his heart, which had been tortured by resentment and grievance, finally felt a lot easier.

At the same time, it also let the sense of superiority emerge from the bottom of my heart again.

That's right!

Takikawa shouted excitedly from the bottom of his heart.

I'm a Banner Warrior!

So what if I didn't make it to the top 10 in the essay test?

So what if this Mashima Goro won the first place in the literary examination?

I'm still a Banner Samurai, and this guy is still a ronin who finally found a job at the Shirobei Clubhouse a while ago!

No matter what, my future achievements will definitely be far higher than this Mashima Goro!Also higher than that Gongxia!

Hearing Takigawa's blatant ridicule just now, Ogata's face darkened slightly.

Gua Sheng on the side shouted directly:

"What's the matter with Banner? You guys are making trouble here, and then we stop you, which is reasonable and reasonable!"

As soon as Gua Sheng's words fell, Lai Jiu standing between Takikawa and the others and Ogata and the others quickly wiped the cold sweat off his face, turned around to look at Ogata and the others behind him, and said in a low voice:

"Don't be like this. Don't confront them with swords."

"That samurai's name is Takigawa Heiichiro, a banner samurai. If you can't offend them, don't offend them further."

The samurai under the direct command of the shogun, such as Banner and the royal family, besides having all kinds of privileges, also has a rather scary thing, that is, they often have all kinds of awesome relatives.

Banner and the royal family are of noble origin, and the married families will not be simple families.

In the 200 years since the opening of the Edo Shogunate, Banner and the royal family have long formed a close relationship and kinship network.

A Qiben with a low salary, maybe one of his relatives is a big shot.

Lai Jiu, who worked hard in a place like Yangmeiwu, naturally knew the horrors of the Banner warriors, so in order to avoid further expansion of the dispute, he hurriedly reminded Ogata and others not to offend Banner.

Although Lai Jiu lowered his volume when he reminded Ogata and others not to offend Hatamoto, Takigawa could barely hear what Lai Jiu was saying.

Listening to what Lai Jiu said to Ogata and the others just now, Takikawa felt that the sense of superiority in his heart inflated even more.

"Takikawa!" At this moment, Uesaka on the side finally couldn't stand it anymore, and stepped forward to grab Takikawa's shoulder, "You drink too much! Killing someone for such a trivial matter will be very troublesome later! Master Raiku , I am very sorry, I will negotiate with you slowly next time."

Before Uesaka finished speaking, Takigawa shook off Uesaka's hand that was holding onto his shoulder.

"Uesaka! Get out of the way!"

"I must teach that maiko who defiled my saber a lesson!"

"By the way, let's see if this Mashima Goro has the guts to draw a sword at my banner."

Takikawa, who was already dazzled by anger and alcohol, completely lost his mind by mocking Ogata's pleasure loudly just now, and could no longer listen to what Uesaka said.

Takigawa raised the sword in his hand and strode towards the maiko who was hidden behind Ogata and the others.

Looking at Takikawa who raised the sword again, Ogata silently lowered the center of gravity of his body, and pressed his right hand on Da Shitian's handle.

Naturally, Ogata would not just kill Takikawa with a single blow.

Ogata has already made a calculation. If Takigawa insists on going forward to kill that maiko, he will use the back of his sword to help this guy "calm down".
