I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Coupled with the recent period of time, the night wind is very strong every night.

The fire borrows the wind, and the wind helps the fire.

With the help of the wind, the flames seemed to be showing off their power, and frantically invaded

Guasheng doesn't have to be on the night shift tonight.

So she went to bed early.

While sleeping soundly, a series of noisy voices suddenly woke up Guasheng.

He opened his eyes, lifted the quilt covering his body, sat up, and listened carefully.

The sound of chaotic footsteps, as well as the noisy screams and screams poured into Gua Sheng's ears one by one.

"What's going on?!" Gua Sheng frowned and muttered in a low voice.

Sitting up quickly, he ran to the next window. After opening the window, Guasheng saw that the outside was in a mess.

The house Gua Sheng lives in is only one floor, and he only needs to open the window to see the outside world.

Everyone is either empty-handed, or carrying a bunch of things, running in a panic. This is the scene that caught Gua Sheng's eyes.

At this time, an old lady who was familiar with Guasheng happened to pass by Guasheng's window, so Guasheng hurriedly called the old lady to stop.

"Grandma! What happened?"

"Oh! Xiaoxiu, I just wanted to find you!" The old woman rushed to Guasheng's window with a big cloth bag in her arms.

"Yangya Town is on fire! The fire is so big! Everyone is running for their lives! Xiaoxiu, run away too!"

"Fire?!" Gua Sheng's expression changed, and his pupils shrank slightly.

Yoya-cho is located on the west side of Yoshiwara.

The place where Guasheng lives is located in the east of Yoshihara.

Although it wasn't that the place where the fire started was not nearby, the surrounding residents still "changed their faces when they heard the fire", dragging their families and taking all their valuable luggage with them, and fled to Yoshiwara.

Japan has always been narrowly populated due to its many mountains.

In order to be able to accommodate as many people as possible, the houses are generally you next to me, and I next to you.

Or simply a row of houses directly connected into one, your east wall is my west wall, this kind of house is called "long house", in order to meet the living needs of such a large population, long house is a very common type of house.

The houses are all next to each other, and each house is made of wood and paper, so once a fire breaks out, it basically burns a large area.

The fear of fire is engraved in the bone marrow of everyone in this era.

The wandering girls and civilians living in Yoshiwara are even more afraid of the flames.

More than 100 years ago, the "Furisode Fire Incident" that burned two-thirds of Edo and killed 10 people completely destroyed Yoshiwara.

In that "firing sleeve fire incident", many poor wandering girls died because they were hindered by their gorgeous costumes and could not run flexibly.

The current Yoshihara is the "New Yoshihara" built on the embankment of Japan after the "Old Yoshihara" was destroyed by the "Furisode Fire Incident".

Because in the not-too-distant past, Yoshihara had already been destroyed by flames once, so the people of Yoshihara had no more fear of fire.

Even without being told by others, Guasheng could guess that Yoshihara must be in a mess now, and people from anywhere are rushing out of Yoshihara at this moment.

"Mother-in-law, thank you for letting me know. You should run for your life too."

Gua Sheng with a serious face told the old grandma, and then closed the window.

Gua Sheng didn't go to pack her belongings and pay a salute.

Instead, he picked up the wooden knife placed next to the bedding and rushed out of the room.

The reason why he only took the wooden knife and didn't take other things was because Gua Sheng didn't intend to escape like the others.

She is an official of the Shirobe Guards, and the sense of justice and responsibility that has always existed in Guasheng's heart makes her only have one thought now: Hurry up to support the people who are definitely already working hard to evacuate the people in Yoshiwara or put out the fire. colleagues.

Due to the rush to get to the fire site, Gua Sheng didn't intend to waste precious time changing clothes and putting on socks.

Gua Sheng is only wearing a white bathrobe now, and there is no other cloth on his body except this white bathrobe.

Although, as a girl, it seems a bit inappropriate to go out in only a white bathrobe, but Gua Sheng can't care so much now.

Carrying the wooden knife, he rushed out of the room quickly, and went straight to the door of the house along the corridor.

When there were only about 7 steps away from the gate of the house, Gua Sheng's pupils shrank suddenly.

In the next moment, Gua Sheng stopped his feet and jumped backwards.

As soon as Gua Sheng jumped away, a short gun penetrated from top to bottom the ceiling above the place where she was standing just now, and pierced towards the place where Gua Sheng was standing just now.

If it wasn't for Guasheng's quick reaction just now, then Guasheng would have been pierced by this ninja knife.

Gua Sheng, who jumped back, heard a frivolous voice from the ceiling as soon as his feet touched the ground:

"Oh? You were able to dodge it, Keitaro, it seems that your skills need to be improved, and you actually let a woman dodge your stab."

"I'm sorry, I will strengthen my training in the future,"

As the voice fell, the short gun was retracted.

After the short gun was retracted above the ceiling, the piece of the ceiling that was pierced by the short gun was moved away.

Then a full 4 people jumped from the ceiling.

The leader had a frivolous smile on his face.

Looking at this young man with a frivolous smile, Gua Sheng's expression suddenly changed.

"Hey" "Frivolous Man" looked Guasheng up and down several times, then showed a wretched smile, "Although I often come to Yoshiwara and hear your name, this is the first time I have looked at your face seriously .”

"Look carefully, you look very good-looking, and your feet are small, very cute."

"Your face is enough for you to be the top card in the girl's house."

Gua Sheng ignored the compliments the "frivolous man" had just given her.

He only silently raised the wooden knife in his hand and held it tightly with both hands.

"You guys are finally here"

"I didn't expect that the person who came was you, Kyotaro."

"Huh?" Ji Taro, the "frivolous man", raised his eyebrows, "Finally? What did you say just now, it sounds like you knew we would come to you?"

"And you actually know me?"

Gua Sheng's eye sockets were slightly red at this moment.

"Do you still remember the Guasheng Dojo that you slaughtered 4 years ago?"

"Is it Guasheng Dojo?" After chewing the word in his mouth for a while, Ji Taro suddenly realized, "Oh! I remembered."

"I did take over this task four years ago."

"I still remember this task very clearly."

"At that time, the task I received was to rush to a sword gym called Guasheng Daochang in the Kamakura area, and kill all the owner and his family."

"The reason why I remember this mission clearly is because I didn't completely succeed in that mission."

"When the body was counted afterwards, it was found that the 12-year-old daughter of the museum owner was missing."

"Because I couldn't find her no matter how hard I searched, the task was not successfully completed, and I was scolded by Lord Balrog."

Speaking of this, Ji Taro cast his eyes on Guasheng again, and looked up and down Guasheng.

"Gua Shengxiu, Gua Sheng Dojo, are you a survivor of that night 4 years ago?"

Guasheng did not respond to Ji Taro's words.

It's just that the eye sockets have become redder.

He gripped the wooden knife tighter.

"It seems so."

"I remember the owner's daughter, it should be called Gua Shenghui."

"Did you change your name?"

"Forget it, such trivial matters don't matter."

Taro smiled happily.

"I didn't expect such a coincidence to exist in this world."

"I was able to meet someone who missed killing four years ago."

“This is the right trip”

Before Jitaro finished speaking, he saw a white shadow flashing in front of him.

Gua Sheng kicked his hind foot and rushed towards Ji Taro.

After Ji Taro entered his attack range, he stabbed with his sword.

Guasheng's sudden attack forced Ji Taro to take the initiative to cut off the conversation.

For other ordinary people, I am afraid that they would not even be able to react, and they would be defeated by Gua Sheng.

It's a pity that Gua Sheng's opponent is Ji Taro.

Ji Taro's expression didn't change, he just took a quick step to the side.

It's like measuring it in advance with a ruler.

Ji Taro's dodging distance is just enough to dodge the knife stabbed by Guasheng.

After dodging the stabbing knife from Guasheng, Ji Taro bent his knee and kicked Guasheng's calf at a dizzying speed.

"Well!"

Guasheng let out a low cry of pain, quickly stepped back a few steps, and distanced himself from Ji Taro.

While staring at Kyutaro, from the corner of his eyes, he looked at the place that Kyutaro kicked just now.

"Don't worry!" Ji Taro shrugged, "I just pulled back, your leg is fine."

"Are you kidding me?!" Gua Sheng snarled at Ji Taro.

Ji Taro had every chance to injure Guasheng just now.

But he didn't do that.

Not only did he attack the calf, which was not a vital position, but he also withdrew his strength, which only made Guasheng feel pain, and did not break Guasheng's leg.

"I just don't want to kill you so quickly." Ji Taro smiled without a hint of warmth, "It's rare to encounter such an interesting thing when you meet someone who missed killing 4 years ago. I don't want to kill you so quickly."

Listening to Ji Taro's almost humiliating speech, Gua Sheng clenched his teeth as hard as if he wanted to crush his own teeth.

Then he raised his knife again and charged towards Ji Taro.

Gua Sheng used all the sword skills she knew one by one.

The swordsmanship she uses is a set of swordsmanship suitable for women created by herself.

The stabbing technique is mainly powerful and easy to use all the strength of the whole body, which can well make up for the weakness that women are not as powerful as men.

But it's just to make up for it.

When facing a powerful man, this power difference is not so easy to make up for.

No matter how Guasheng attacks, Ji Taro can avoid Guasheng's attack with ease.

Kyutaro didn't draw his weapon.

He didn't even put on a fighting posture, and let his hands hang down naturally.He only kept dodging Gua Sheng's attack.

From time to time, he raised his legs, and with such strength that he would not seriously injure Gua Sheng, he attacked those parts of Gua Sheng's body that were not fatal even if they were injured.

Guasheng knew that Ji Taro was fighting her with a "playing" attitude.

But she couldn't do anything but mourn.

The "battlefield" was switched from the corridor to the hall.

After this one-sided battle continued for a while, Kyutaro yawned.

Then he raised his leg much faster than every attack just now, and kicked Gua Sheng's soft stomach hard.

Gua Sheng, whose facial features were directly twisted together due to pain, flew backwards for a few steps, and slammed into the wall behind him heavily.
