I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

The first time was when climbing over the high wall of Yoshiwara for Guasheng.

The second time is now.

……

……

After being entrusted by the Taifu, Sennosuke hurried to Yoshihara.

The place where Taifu was imprisoned was not too far from Yoshihara.

After arriving in Yoshiwara, Sennosuke first casually found a few people to inquire about the fire-related matters, and then went to see the place where the fire broke out in person.

After confirming with his own eyes that the flames had been extinguished, Sennosuke strode away from Yoshihara.

After passing through the gate and leaving Yoshihara, for some reason, Sennosuke recalled Taifu's hug just now.

Until now, Sennosuke still remembers the deodorant that got into his nostrils, and the feeling of being surrounded by a soft breeze.

Recalling this feeling, Sennosuke's cheeks blushed unconsciously.

——Will the Taifu praise me when I go back later?Will you hug me again?

Such thoughts couldn't stop popping up in Sennosuke's mind.

A smirk uncontrollably appeared on his face.

Indulging in fantasy, he didn't realize that someone had been quietly following him since just now.

In fact, even if he wasn't immersed in fantasy, he wouldn't be able to find the person who was following him right now.

Because just as he said to the Taifu just now—his strength is mediocre, and the strength of the three Iga ninjas who are also in charge of guarding the Taifu are all higher than him. The reason why he is above these three is purely Because among the Iga ninjas who pay attention to seniority, his seniority is high.

Ask for a monthly pass!Ask for a monthly pass!Double monthly pass starts!Everyone please vote for me!

These days I will do my best to explode updates, please vote for me!

The Japanese place great emphasis on seniority - anyone who has watched Japanese TV dramas or Japanese anime should know this.Japan has always been like this.

Whether in school or in the company, status is ranked according to seniority, not strength. As long as you are a second-year senior, even if you are a waste, your status is higher than that of first-year students.

I will tell you in the next small class why Japan pays so much attention to hierarchy and seniority.

Chapter 423 The Eve of the Final Battle [Free 1W4]

Keep everyone waiting.

I really wrote for a whole day today, until my head was swollen, and I couldn’t write anymore. I only wrote 24 in total, and I didn’t reach the agreed 35.

I also failed to write all the climaxes, because the plot volume is too large to finish, so I can only start first.

The reason is that the writing is always unsatisfactory, deleted and changed, changed and deleted.

Especially this chapter, I can't always write the feeling I want.

I am not very satisfied with this chapter. If there is a fee for this chapter, it always feels like cheating readers.

So this chapter with a total of 14 characters, I decided to give it away for free, without charging.It can be regarded as an expression of my apology. I agreed to say 35, but only wrote 24.

Not long after Sennosuke went to Edo

Edo, where Taifu was imprisoned

The husband continued to hug his knees and curled up in the corner of the wall.

Wow

The sound of pulling the door sounded slowly.

The husband hurriedly raised his head and looked in the direction of the gate.

But it turns out that the person who pulled the door was not Sennosuke, but a bald head.

After seeing the bald head, the three Iga ninjas who were in charge of guarding the Taifu hurriedly got up to salute and say hello to the bald head.

The bald man waved his hand, signaling for the three of them to excuse themselves, then moved his eyes and scanned around the room. After seeing Taifu Fengling's hands and feet were not tied, he showed doubts:

"Huh? Why isn't the oiran tied up?"

"It was Sennosuke's idea." Someone replied, "He said that with so many people watching, it would be impossible for the Taifu to run away, so he untied the hemp rope from Taifu's body."

"Xianzhizhu?" The bald head looked around, "What about Xianzhizhu?"

The three Iga ninjas looked at each other.

After hesitating for a moment, one of them replied:

"He seems to have a bad stomach and went to shit."

None of the three of them like Sennosuke very much.

But because Sennosuke's seniority and status are higher than them, the three of them don't want to offend Sennosuke too much.

When you are not absolutely sure that what you tell can bring down your boss, don't tell your boss's secret lightly, otherwise you will be in trouble later. This is an iron rule in various occasions.

So after hesitating for a while, they still chose to take the initiative to cover for Sennosuke.

Knowing that Sennosuke was going to shit, the bald head nodded lightly: "Forget it, whatever, I won't bother with him for such a trivial matter as untying the husband.".

After all, the bald head changed into a slightly serious face, and then said seriously:

"There is a new mission."

"Transfer the Taifu to another place."

As soon as the bald head finished speaking, the Tai Fu was startled.

And one of the three people in charge of guarding the Taifu said doubtfully:

"Transfer? Where to go?"

"On the mountain." The bald head spat out a simple word.

But this is actually their code word.

"Shanshang" means Shiranui's base.

"Let's all take action." The bald head continued, "Let's take a shortcut to go back. The two of you will tie up the Taifu again, and then go back to the mountain with me. You should stay here and wait for Sennosuke, tell Sennosuke about Taifu's transfer, and then Come back with Sennosuke."

The bald head gave one order after another in a simple and clear manner.

The bald head's seniority and status were higher than Sennosuke's, so after the bald head's order was given, the three ninjas nodded in agreement.

The two people who were ordered to re-tie the Taifu walked towards the Taifu, put the Taifu's hands behind her back, and tied her tightly.

Then one person escorted the Taifu, and the other walked to the side of the room and pulled the wooden floor of this place, and the wooden floor was pulled open like a door, revealing a tunnel.

Looking at the tunnel that suddenly appeared in front of him, the Tai Fu's face was full of astonishment.

The "shortcut" mentioned by the bald head just now is actually one of their code words.

This dilapidated and abandoned house is actually one of the strongholds temporarily remodeled by their Iga ninjas.

It is also one of the traditional skills of ninjas to rebuild various escape routes, and the ninjas of Iga are extremely good at it.

They have been in Edo for a while, and in order to facilitate the travel between Shiranui and Edo, they converted three dilapidated houses into their strongholds.

The first stronghold is the place where they are imprisoning Taifu now.

The tunnel here leads to a deserted temple not far from their second stronghold.

The deserted temple also has a tunnel, and the tunnel of the deserted temple is connected to their third stronghold, an uninhabited private house located in the outermost area of ​​northern Edo.

After coming out of the third base, because it is located in the outermost area in the northern part of Edo, it is very close to Shiranui.

The only ones who knew the existence of these three strongholds and knew that these three strongholds were connected by tunnels were the ninjas of Iga, and Shintaro and others who were vassals of Toyotomi with the ninjas of Iga and others who were lurking in Shiranui.

The bald head and the two Iga ninjas who were responsible for retying the Taifu just now pushed the Taifu into the tunnel, and then covered the raised wooden floor again.

Only the Iga ninja who was in charge of waiting for Sennosuke's return was left in the hut.

Sennosuke, immersed in the beautiful fantasy of "being praised by the Taifu" and "embraced again by the Taifu", happily returned to the base.

Then as soon as he returned to the stronghold, Sennosuke was stunned.

Taifu was not seen.

There was only one of his companions left in the stronghold.

Seeing Sennosuke came back, his companion showed a slight mocking smile, and said:

"It's been a waste of your trip."

"When you just left here, a new task was issued. The Taifu was to be transferred to Shiranui, and we also left here and returned to Shiranui."

"Taifu and the others have probably left Edo by now, and they are almost in Shiranui."

Although he had tried his best to control it, Sennosuke still had a look of obvious frustration on his face.

Beautiful fantasies such as "being praised by the Taifu" and "being embraced again by the Taifu" were completely shattered.

"Okay, let's go." The Iga ninja who stayed and waited for Sennosuke to return opened the tunnel again, "I stayed here specially to wait for you to come back. Really, it took me so long to come back"

"I'll treat you to a good drink later," Sennosuke let out a long sigh.

The companion who stayed here specially to wait for him entered the tunnel with Sennosuke one after the other.

Before leaving, Sennosuke did not forget to blow out the oil lamp in the room.

Sennosuke, who was walking behind, closed the wooden floor again.

The house returned to calm.

Only the thin smoke after blowing out the oil lamp is blowing with the wind

Ogata used the technique of "Shiranui in Stealth", kept a certain distance from Sennosuke, and followed closely behind Sennosuke the whole time.

Although this person's hands and arms are very thick, they don't seem to be good at anti-reconnaissance.

He never noticed that someone was following him all the time.

In this way, Ogata was brought to the stronghold they used to imprison Taifu, that is, the small broken house that was no longer inhabited.

After seeing Sennosuke walking straight towards the small broken house, Ogata hid his body in the darkness, and then carefully looked at the small broken house.

This small shabby house reminded Ogata of his former home in the Hirose Domain.

The same is true of the house where he lived in the Hirose domain before.

Small, dilapidated "detached villa".

Just as Ogata was about to get close to the small shabby house, he saw that the light shining through the window of the shabby house was extinguished.

Ogata, who frowned slightly, sped up his pace a little, and at the same time he got close to the small house, he pulled out Da Shitian with a movement so gentle that he couldn't make a sound.

I put my ear against the door and didn't hear the slightest sound.

The door was opened a little, and there was no one there.

gone?

After pulling the door open wide enough for him to get in and out, Ogata dodged into the room.

After entering the house, Ogata found that this small dilapidated house was really similar to his home in Hirose.

There is only one room in the whole house, and there is no distinction between halls and bedrooms.

There is only this one entrance and exit in the whole house, and the only window is hardly for an adult male to enter and exit.

A large living person suddenly disappeared in the house, and Ogata only thought of two possibilities: he hid on the ceiling, or ran away through some secret passage.

Ogata checked the ceiling first. After all, if that person was hiding on the ceiling just now, the threat would be great.

When he was in Kyoto before, he tried to jump from the ceiling and attack an enemy in Nanban's body.

Ogata pulled out Da Shitian's scabbard, stabbed the ceiling above his head with Da Shitian's scabbard, and checked little by little whether anyone was hiding on the ceiling.

The tunnels built by their Iga ninjas are only half a person high, and they have to bend over to walk.

The cat walked fast with its waist down, which was a trivial matter for their Iga ninjas.

Sennosuke and his companion walked quickly through the tunnel at a speed that was not slower than running straight.

Soon, they both reached the end of the tunnel.
