I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

"Whether the shogunate knows that Toyotomi's bloodline has not been cut off is not an important matter to us."

"We don't care whether the shogunate knows that Toyotomi's bloodline has not been cut off, and whether Toyotomi plans to take revenge on them."

"We are full of wings, and we have long been afraid of any shogunate."

"What's more, our base is located in a place that is difficult for the shogunate to reach."

"With this convenient location, we have nothing to fear."

"You're really confident." Shuntaro said coldly, "What are you going to do by telling me so many secrets? Are you planning to drag me into the Toyotomi Clan and make me a retainer of Toyotomi?"

"If you are willing to join our Toyotomi family, that would be the best. But according to my understanding of you, you will definitely not join." Shintaro smiled, "The reason why I tell you all these things is because Afterwards, there are some important tasks to be entrusted to you, who are highly skilled."

"For the sake of convenience, I will tell you these things that are not really important."

"Okay, let's talk about these relaxed and happy things first."

"It's time to talk about something more serious."

"Shuntaro, I have a task right now, and I need your cooperation."

"In order for Mrs. Fengling to have no lack of hands or feet, you will definitely cooperate with me, right?"

There was a faint sarcasm on Shintaro's face, and he did not hide the banter in his tone.

If sharp enough eyes could stab people to death, then Shintaro must have been stabbed to death by Shintaro who was staring at him fiercely by now.

Unfortunately, this kind of thing can only be "if".

Edo, outside Yoshiwara, Kasa tea house

The owner of the Kasa Tea House has always cared about the one-eyed old man since he entered the shop.

When the one-eyed old man entered the store, a certain table near the window was still empty, so the owner asked the one-eyed old man to sit at this table.

Although their tea house mainly sells tea and refreshments, it also sells some wine.

After taking his seat, the one-eyed old man ordered a bottle of sake without ordering any appetizers.

Just such a person holding a bottle of sake, drinking in small sips.

There are fewer and fewer customers in the store now.

The officials of the town fire department who went to the tea house to drink a few cups and rest for a while, as well as the officials of the Shirobei clubhouse, left the tea house in twos and threes.

Originally, nearly 8% of the seats were full of people in the tea house, but now there are only a few tables left.

Seeing that he had been busy for so long, the owner could finally rest, leaning on the wooden pillar behind him, and exhaled a long breath.

But before the owner had time to take a good rest, he suddenly heard an old voice:

"Is there any wine left?"

It was the voice of the one-eyed old man.

As soon as the one-eyed old man finished speaking, the boss immediately nodded vigorously like a conditioned reflex:

"Have!"

"Give me another bottle of sake."

"Okay!"

The host ran into the kitchen neatly and came out with a bottle of sake.

When he came to the desk of the one-eyed old man, after serving the bottle of sake, the one-eyed old man opened the bottle without saying a word, and poured it into the small wine glass in his hand.

"Guest officer, do you need some food and drink?"

One-eyed old man: "No need."

"Then please enjoy it slowly!"

After smiling politely at the one-eyed old man, the host was holding the plate and getting up to leave

"Wait a moment."

The one-eyed old man suddenly stopped his host again.

"Guest officer, is there anything else I need?" Dong's knelt down beside the one-eyed old man again.

"Do you sell that kind of dry food here?"

"Yes, but we sell dry food here, only dried sweet potatoes."

"It's ok."

After finishing speaking, the one-eyed old man took out some money from his pocket, and spread it on the table in front of him.

"I can buy as many dried sweet potatoes with this money."

"Okay! I'll get ready right away!"

The inn where Edo, Ogata and others lived

Ogata and A-Ming had just chatted with Uncle Qing, when Chiba approached Ogata and told Ogata that the treatment of Guasheng was over.

And when Chiba finished treating Guasheng, Lin's lecture to Yuanyi just ended.

Lin looked as if she was still angry.

Yuanyi is what it was before and what it is now

According to Qianye, although Guasheng had many injuries, none of them were serious injuries. He could recover after applying medicine, taking good medicine, and recuperating for a period of time.

Chiba really helped a lot tonight. After paying the medical fees of Uncle Qing and Guasheng to Chiba, Ogata originally wanted to send Chiba and Kondo back to the North Wind House where they are currently staying temporarily, so that He expressed his sincerity and gratitude, but was strongly rejected by Chiba and Kondo, especially Kondo.

Seeing that the two strongly refused, Ogata couldn't force it, so he had to settle for the next best thing, send the two out of the hotel, and then watched them leave.

Of course, because Chiba didn't know that "Mashima Goro" was "Ogata Issei", Ogata was wearing a human skin mask when paying Chiba's medical fees and sending them away.

After sending Chiba and Kondo away, and returning to the big room where he lived, he said to everyone: I'm going to Yoshihara.

As soon as Ogata's words fell, Mamiya was the first to ask in doubt:

"Ogata-kun, why did you go to Yoshiwara again for no reason?"

"When I was going to rescue Guasheng, there was a sudden fire at Yoshihara's place." Ogata said succinctly, "So I'm going to see how the fire is going, and I'll go back as soon as I go."

When I rushed to Yoshihara just now, I was busy saving Guasheng, and I didn't have the energy to take care of the fire in Yoshihara.

Now that Guasheng has been rescued, her and Uncle Qing's treatment is over, and after nothing has happened to his shoulders for the time being, Ogata plans to go back to Yoshihara to see how the fire that devastated Yoshihara is doing.

Ogata was also someone who worked in Yoshiwara for a short period of time.He is still one of Yoshiwara's servants.

Whether it's public or private, Ogata can't just ignore Yoshihara.

As soon as Ogata said this, he immediately got Guasheng's response:

"I also need to go!"

"You stay here until tomorrow morning, and you don't leave here." Ogata responded to Guasheng without hesitation, "You can't ignore the fact that Shiranui Sato sent the second batch of ninjas after the first batch of ninjas sent to chase you failed. The possibility of coming to assassinate you."

"So you'd better not get close to Yoshihara now."

"After you stay with us tonight, it may not be as comfortable as your home, but at least it's safe."

"What's more, you are still injured, and you can't even walk quickly. You should stay here peacefully."

Although Guasheng really wanted to refute Ogata, she had to admit that what Ogata said was correct, so she could only nod with a little reluctance.

"Ogata-kun, I'll go with you." Another person suddenly expressed that he wanted to go with Ogata.

This person is Yuan Yi.

As soon as Yuanyi finished speaking, he immediately received Lin's terrifying gaze.

To be precise, it was a terrifying sight.

Before Lin could speak, Yuan Yi turned his head, looked at Lin, and spoke first.

"Shirobei, he and I are old acquaintances."

Yuan Yi rarely used a serious tone.

"I'm a little worried about how Shirobei is doing now."

"Based on what I know about him, after a fire breaks out, he will definitely rush to the forefront of fire fighting."

"Let me go and see how my old friend is doing."

Perhaps it was because Yuan Yi of the "serious state" was so rare to see, Lin froze for a moment.

After pursing her lips and being silent for a while, Lin let out a low sigh:

"Understood, hurry up and go back, remember to be safe, don't cause any trouble again."

"It's just to see how the old friend is doing." Yuan Yi smiled, "What can cause trouble?"

Ogata had no reason to stop Yuan Yi, so he naturally agreed to let Yuan Yi go.

After Ogata and Genichi inserted their sabers in their waists, they rushed towards Yoshihara one after the other.

Edo, outside Yoshiwara, Kasa tea house

"Is there any wine left?"

"Have!"

"One more bottle of sake."

"Okay! Guest officer, do you really not need appetizers?"

"unnecessary."

"Okay! Come, your sake!"

The host once again politely placed a bottle of sake on the table of the one-eyed old man.

Chapter 422 Ogata's Longest Night in Edo [Burst Update 1W3]

"Shuntaro, I have a task right now, and I need your cooperation. In order for Taifu Fuzuki to have no lack of hands or feet, you will definitely cooperate with me, right?"

Shintaro was right in front of him.

As long as Shuntaro draws his sword, he can easily chop Shintaro.

In fact, the idea of ​​"drawing the sword and chopping Shintaro" has flashed in Shintaro's mind many times.

However——for this thought that flashed in his mind, Shuntaro could only use brute force to suppress it again and again.

"...Tell me." Shuntaro said in a deep voice, "What do you want me to do? Let me sneak into Edo Castle and assassinate the shogun?"

The relationship between Edo Castle and Edo is similar to the relationship between the Forbidden City and Beijing.

At present, the highest authority in Japan, the shogun, lives in Edo Castle.

Edo Castle was also the place where the important ministers of the shogunate discussed matters with the general.

As soon as Shintaro finished speaking, Shintaro shrugged and smiled:

"How is it possible, what do you think Edo Castle is?"

"If the shogun's head is so easy to get, the head of the shogun would have been taken off countless times."

"Edo Castle is the residence of the shogun. There are three steps, one post and five steps and one sentry. Even if there are 10 of you, it is impossible to kill the general."

"Even if you were lucky enough to get in front of the general, the general would have already escaped through various secret channels."

"The task I want to give you is the opposite of killing people, it is the task of saving people."

"We need you to rescue a person from the prison in the east of Edo Castle." Shintaro's expression became a little more serious, "Rescue a person named 'Lin Ziping'."

"Lin Ziping?" Shuntaro frowned slightly.

The surname "Lin" is also one of the common surnames.

After going through the name "Lin Ziping" in his mind, Shuntaro realized that he had never heard of this person.

"That's right, Lin Ziping."

Shintaro repeated the name word by word and then continued.

"We have already bribed a high-ranking official of Chengdong Prison in advance, obtained the prisoner list of Chengdong Prison, and found out which cell of Chengdong Prison Lin Ziping was locked in."

"So you just need to find that cell and bring Lin Ziping out. It's very simple."

"Hui Taro knows where Lin Ziping's cell is, I will let Hui Taro follow you and show you the way."
