I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

With the blessing of the system, Ogata's physical fitness has long been far superior to ordinary people.

Whether it is unarmed combat or armed combat, the side with better physical fitness will take advantage.

Using brute force to bounce the gun away is one of the combat experiences accumulated by Ogata.This trick has been tried and tested.

Ogata also used this trick when he defeated Koji's master Ishida Hironoshi in Yoshihara last time.

"It's really amazing." Wuliu on the side also said with a smile at this time, "Thanks to someone like you, Mashima-kun, this imperial trial match will not be too boring."

After finishing speaking, Wuliu turned his gaze back to the "A field" and "B field" in front of him.

"Although the people who participated in the imperial trial are frighteningly weak, I still really want to participate."

"Oh?" Kondo said, "Do you also want the 100 tael bonus?"

"That's not true." Wuliu shrugged, "I'm not really short of money."

"I just want to compete with all kinds of people and hone my skills."

A happy smile appeared on Wuliu's face.

"Only by constantly exercising and strengthening my own strength can I feel that I am alive."

"Since you are also very interested in the Yuqian Trial, why didn't you sign up before?" Ogata asked.

"It's useless for me to sign up." Wuliu's face showed a little helplessness, "I can't even write Chinese characters very well, so I can't pass the initial writing test."

"Why do you have to design such a rule that you must pass the literary test before you can take the military test? It's really troublesome."

"If there is no such troublesome essay test, I will take the imperial test."

"Unexpectedly, you are also a person obsessed with self-improvement." Ogata sighed softly.

Wuliu: "For me, nothing makes me happier than improving my skills."

"Wu Liu, you are the same as me!" Kondo shouted excitedly from the side, "I also decided to travel around and keep swinging my sword in order to make myself stronger!"

"Oh? You are doing martial arts training? Not bad." Wuliu smiled, "In this era when abacus is more useful than knives, there are not many people like you who still practice martial arts."

"It's a pity that I'm still far behind." With a bitter face, Kondo raised his hand and patted Ogata's shoulder next to him, "I don't know how long I have to practice before I can be as strong as the master."

Hongzhi, with a gloomy face and lowered head, just got off the "A field", when the light in front of him dimmed and someone stood in front of him.

Because of the lowered head, Hongzhi could see a pair of big feet with no socks but only a pair of straw sandals.

Before Hongzhi could raise his head to see who the person in front of him was, there was an angry scolding, like a thunderbolt falling from the sky, hitting Hongzhi from the front.

"You bastard! What did you want to do just now!"

Hongzhi slowly raised his head that was drooping.

The line of sight gradually slid up from the big feet without socks, from the shabby clothes all the way to a face full of anger.

This is the face of his master Hirotoshi Ishida.

"You come with me!"

Ishida pulled Hongzhi's arm and pulled Hongzhi to a place far away from the venue where there were no other people around.

"What's the matter with the way you wanted to stab Mashima-kun to death just now?" After pulling his disciple to a place where no one was around, Ishida scolded Hongzhi, "You want to kill Mashima-kun ?"

"I don't want to kill Mashima Goro, I just want to give him a hard shot, and I don't feel well if I don't hit him hard."

"Couldn't you be more broad-minded?!" Ishida looked as if he hated iron.

"Impossible!" Hongzhi shouted without thinking, his cheeks turned a strange flush due to excitement, "He took away my master, how can you make me broad-minded?"

"Didn't I say it all?!" Ishida's emotions became agitated, "My feelings for Mashima-kun will never compare to my feelings for you, why do you still hold grudges?!"

"Stop talking nonsense! You've been peeking at that Mashima Goro since yesterday!"

"This may be the last time I can see Mashima-kun, so what if I sneak a look at him?!" Ishida put his hands on Hongzhi's shoulders.

"Get your hands off!" Hong Zhi shook his shoulders vigorously, trying to shake off Ishida's hands.

"Listen to me! Hongzhi! You can always stay with me like this!"

"As for Mashima-kun and I, there will never be a result!"

"Maybe I will never see Mashima-kun after the Gozen Trial is over!"

"So there is absolutely no need for you to hold grudges against Mashima-kun, or bury me!"

"Understand?"

Seeing that he had no way to shake off Ishida's hands, Hongzhi gradually calmed down.

Seeing that Hongzhi gradually regained his composure, Ishida's tone gradually calmed down.

"Hongzhi, I've never asked you to do anything before."

"Can I be selfish for a while this time?"

"Until I never have the chance to see Mashima-kun again, can you let me just quietly look at Mashima-kun like yesterday?"

Hiroshi fell silent.

After being silent for an unknown amount of time, Hong Zhi finally nodded slightly as if he had given up struggling.

"Don't get close to that Mashima Goro, and don't talk to Mashima Goro."

Seeing that Hongzhi finally made a concession, Ishida smiled happily.

Ishida and Hongzhi returned to the noisy venue one after the other.

But they did not squeeze into the motley crowd.

Instead, he stood on the periphery and looked at Ogata in the crowd from afar.

Looking at Ogata who was standing between Kondo and Wuliu, Ishida's eyes gradually softened.

But there was a bit of resentment in the softened eyes.

Mashima-kun is so popular

There are always so many men around.

A tall man and a short man were with you yesterday.

Now there's another person around me that I haven't seen before

Ishida turned his resentful eyes on Kondo.

I'm so envious. This guy seems to have a good relationship with Mashima-kun. He has been chatting with Mashima-kun very intimately, and even patted Mashima-kun on the shoulder.

After Yoshihara was defeated by a move by Ogata, for some reason, Ogata no, it should be said that he was wearing Ogata's face with a human skin mask, and it kept appearing in Ishida's mind, lingering.

Ishida came to Edo this time mainly to let his disciples experience the "imperial test" and hone their skills.

After accompanying Hongzhi to the martial arts test venue yesterday, Ishida immediately discovered Ogata who had been haunting him during this period of time.

But Ishida didn't dare to approach Ogata to talk to him.

Only dare to look at Ogata from a distance like now.

Even if there is no need to make a promise with Koji, Ishida will not take the initiative to talk to Ogata, and then have any relationship with Ogata.

Because Ishida can tell at a glance that Ogata is not a person of Taoism.

And Ogata will never have a result.

So entanglement with Ogata will only increase troubles in vain.

Not only will it bring troubles to myself, but it will also bring troubles to Ogata.

In order not to let each other suffer, Ishida chose to stay away from Ogata silently.

Although Hongzhi beside him had already started to look at Ishida with resentful eyes, but Ishida's eyes still did not move away from Ogata's body.

Ah, the dark blue haori on Mashima-kun looks so warm

Ishida silently clenched his naturally drooping hands.

The upper teeth clenched the lower lip.

I really want to do something for Mashima Goro-kun.

That was the only thought lingering in Ishida's mind right now.

Edo, Shiranui, Interrogation Room

"Ho ho ho ho"

Akang, who was hung on the beam and covered in blood, kept making hoarse moans of "ho ho ho ho" that seemed to be broken at any moment.

Since he was arrested in this interrogation room last night, Akang has suffered a series of horrific tortures.

Lamp oil punishment, stone crushing punishment, whipping

From last night to now, Akang has almost lost his human appearance, his whole body is covered in blood, and there is hardly a piece of good flesh in his body.

"Speak quickly." The ninja standing in front of Akang said in a cold tone, "As long as you tell everything you know, you won't have to suffer like this anymore."

Although Akang is no longer a human being, his appearance still fails to make the ninjas in charge of interrogating him feel compassion.

Unlike last night's firm face, Akang's eyes at this time already showed pain, confusion, and unwillingness.

The complex emotions of pain, confusion, and unwillingness are pulled back and forth fiercely with the emotion called "firmness".

"It seems that you still refuse to say it. Hey, give him some medicine, don't let him die like this. After giving him the medicine, there will be another lamp oil torture."

The ninja's words were like the last straw that broke the camel's back. The "firmness" in Akang's eyes and pupils completely collapsed, and he lost to "pain", "confusion", and "unreconciled".

"Wouldn't it be over if you said it earlier? Tell me, tell me everything you know."

"But I'll put my ugly words first."

"If we find out later that what you said was false information, we will make you suffer a hundred times more than now."

Edo, a remote place

This is the "underdeveloped area" of Edo.

The houses are generally low, and there are not many people walking around here.

But at this moment, a group of uninvited guests came to this remote area.

"Finally found it"

Shintaro stands in a room on the top floor of a 3-story teahouse, looking at a low, unremarkable house in the distance.

The roof and surroundings of this house are covered with dust, and it seems that no one has lived in it for a long time.

But Shintaro's eyes were fixed on this seemingly deserted house.

"I thought it would take three days at the earliest to find you, but I didn't expect to catch you so soon."

The reason why Shintaro opened a room on the highest floor of this teahouse was not to have a quiet room for himself to drink tea and rest.

It's because staying in this room can keep an eye on the humble low house in the distance.

After mumbling in such a low voice that only he could hear clearly, Shintaro turned his head and looked at a subordinate who was kneeling beside him.

"Go, go back to Shiranui and tell Lord Balrog: We have found the hiding place of the Renegade. I will continue to monitor the place where he is currently living and ask for further instructions."

"Yes!"

Chapter 413 Ogata VS Shuntaro 【Burst Update 1W5】

Yesterday's chapter, probably because it was reported, was blocked

I have already made changes, silently waiting for the ban to be lifted

Those who didn't make it to yesterday's chapter, look elsewhere.

It's a pity for those very talented paragraphs

"Master Shuntaro! Master Shuntaro!"

As soon as Shuntaro returned to Shiranui, he heard calls coming from behind him.

After hearing these calls, Shuntaro was stunned for a moment before realizing that someone was calling him.

In the past 2 days, Shuntaro has been going to watch the "Imperial Trial Match".

In front of Mashima Goro and others, Shuntaro has always used the name he used before becoming a ninja in Shiranui: Wuliu.

Because in the past two days, he was used to being called "five or six" by others, but now he suddenly switched to "Shuntaro", which made him a little uncomfortable.
