I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

I visited every happy street in Edo.

Ogata didn't know how Ah-cho felt.Anyway, during these days of playing, Ogata felt very happy.

He has no big dreams.

His only dream is to be a carefree wanderer, wandering aimlessly, and aimlessly browsing the scenery all over the world.

So playing in Edo during this period can be regarded as a small part of his dream come true.

And the recent period is also the most relaxed time for Ogata since this year.

Since the beginning of this year, Ogata has been involved in various incidents either passively or actively.

At the beginning of the year, he wandered to the Tatsuno clan and became attached to Hasegawa.

Then in the spring, he was exiled to Butterfly Island.

After finally escaping from Butterfly Island, he rushed to Kyoto because he planned to cure the "immortal poison" in his body.

On the first day he arrived in Kyoto, he was forced to be involved in a terrifying conspiracy to "destroy Kyoto".

Entering Kyoto in the morning, he became bruised and bruised again due to the "Battle of Nijo Castle" at night, and was forced to rest in Fuma's residence to recuperate.

Then he formed an alliance with the gourd house and prepared to deal with Shiranui.

The injury just happened, so I left Kyoto in a hurry and rushed to the headquarters of Gourd House in Owari. After a short rest at the headquarters of Gourd House in Owari, I hurried to Edo again.

After coming to Edo, I have not been able to relax because of dealing with Shiranui

So the recent time spent playing around Edo with A-machi can be said to be the most leisurely and happiest time Ogata has spent this year.

Seeing that Ogata didn't want to continue playing anymore, A-Machi turned his hands behind his back, turned around and walked outside Tanle's storytelling booth, and said to Ogata:

"Ayi, let's go back then."

"Going back early will also make it easier to prepare for the banquet in the afternoon."

"Actually, there's nothing to prepare for." Ogata smiled, and after quickly following Ah-Ming, he continued in a half-joking tone, "After all, there are not many guests who can come to the banquet."

Ogata and A-Machi returned to their current residence in Edo, which is the small house that Rin borrowed from Tojo House, at a leisurely pace.

As soon as the two opened the door, they saw Jian Gong walking towards them quickly.

"You two are really in a good mood."

Both the cheeks and the tone of the palace are full of helplessness.

"Today is such an important day for the two of you, and you even went outside to play?"

At this time, Mamiya is a little different from usual. Now Mamiya is wearing a very formal dress.

From the brand new fabric, it is not difficult to see that this is a new purchase.

Hearing Mamiya's complaint, Ogata and A-Machi turned their heads in a tacit understanding, looked at each other, and smiled at each other.

"Anyway, you two go change your clothes first." Jian Gong continued, "By the way, we have already changed our clothes."

Ogata and Machi returned to their room.

In one corner of the room stood two small bamboo boxes.

Looking at the two bamboo boxes, Ogata couldn't help showing complicated emotions in his eyes.

Ogata and A-machi walked to the two bamboo boxes respectively, and opened the bamboo boxes in front of them at the same time.

Both bamboo boxes contained a suit of clothes.

The bamboo box in front of Ogata contained very formal black dresses.

And the bamboo box in front of A-Ming contained a set of immaculate white clothes.

8 days before your tour

Edo, under the "sacred tree"

Ogata hugged Machi tightly.

Ogata's back was also tightly wrapped around Ogata's back by Omachi's arms.

Ogata couldn't remember what happened just now.

All I know is that after hearing his voice just now, A-Ming looked back at him, and stared at each other with Ogata.

When he came back to his senses, he had already hugged A-Ming tightly in his arms.

Although the two of them didn't say a word during the whole process, the atmosphere was extraordinarily comfortable and peaceful.

How long have you hugged each other?Ogata couldn't remember either.

Until no time, an idea slowly emerged in Ogata's mind.

"Machi."

Ogata decided to reveal his whole idea.

"Ok?"

"How about we have a wedding before we leave Edo?"

A faint smile slowly appeared on Ogata's face.

"This is what I just found out that now is just the right time to hold a wedding."

"Uncle Qing, your friends and mine happen to be in Edo right now, so we can invite many people to our wedding."

"If you miss this moment, you don't know when you will have such a good opportunity to hold a wedding."

Japan has always had a "ritual-focused" culture.

Some trivial matters should also be made with a sense of ceremony.

Because of the emphasis on rituals, ancient Japan has always attached great importance to weddings.

"How can it be considered a marriage without a wedding" and "If this couple has never even had a wedding, then this couple has no real name" These are the concepts of most people in this era.

No matter how simple the wedding is, it is all about having a wedding.

In fact, as early as when Owari's gourd house headquarter combined with A-Machi, Ojai had the idea of ​​holding a wedding with A-Machi.

Because of Shiranui's great enemy at that time, he couldn't settle down for a long time, so the plan of "holding a wedding with Acho" had to be shelved again and again.

Now that the enemy of Shiranui was dead, Ogata and Atachi's relatives and friends happened to be in Edo right now. As Ogata said, now is indeed the best time to hold a wedding.

As soon as Ogata's words fell, Ah-Machi raised his head and cast a surprised look at Ogata.

After staring at Ogata for a while, the surprise slowly turned into joy.

A-Machi looked away, rested his chin on Ogata's shoulder, and smiled.

"Okay."

As Machi spoke, she leaned her cheek against Ogata's cheek.

"I have to go back and see which day is auspicious." Ogata joked.

"I still have to buy clothes." A-cho added.

"A-Machi, do you want to perform the ceremony in front of the god, the ceremony in front of the Buddha, or the ceremony in front of the human being?"

"The pose in front of people is fine." Ah-Ming immediately said, "The pose in front of the gods and the pose in front of the Buddha are too complicated."

time back to now

Edo, Nihonbashi, Shinagawa-juku.

Gao Qing, who was kneeling on the ground in the position of Dogeza, pressed her forehead tightly against the tatami.

"Have you not found out who attacked Shiranui?"

A calm Chinese language without any sadness or joy rang out from the top of Gao Qing's head, and then drifted into Gao Qing's ears.

The moment after hearing these words, Gao Qing's body trembled uncontrollably.

Drops of cold sweat appeared on Gao Qing's forehead.

The person who questioned Gao Qing was naturally Gao Qing's lord Toyotomi.

After learning of the attack in Shiranui, Toyotomi immediately ordered an investigation into the truth of the incident.

More than half a month has passed now.

He came to confirm the results of the investigation.

Toyotomi stood in front of Gao Qing holding his purple hilted dao in his right hand.

Lowering his eyes, he looked at Gao Qing who was kneeling in front of him.

His eyes were like ice cubes, cold, and there was no emotion in his pupils.

Toyotomi was facing away from the window at this moment.

The outdoor sunlight hit Toyotomi's body through the window, casting a long shadow.

The shadow fell on Gao Qing's body like a mountain.

"Master Feng, Toyotomi" Gao Qing couldn't speak smoothly due to nervousness, "I'm waiting for my life to hang."

"Don't talk such useless nonsense." Before Gao Qing finished speaking, Toyotomi interrupted him directly, "Just tell me if there are any new results found."

After Toyotomi's words fell, the cold sweat on Gao Qing's forehead became more intense.

After taking a deep breath, showing an expression as if he was about to go to the execution ground, he mustered up his courage and said:

"no"

"Did the shogunate find out who was the prisoner in the ruined Shiranui?" Toyotomi continued to ask.

"As far as we know, the shogunate has not found out who destroyed Shiranui."

"When the shogunate learned that Shiranui was attacked and sent officials to investigate, the people who destroyed Shiranui had disappeared."

"There is too little information, so there is no result from the shogunate yet."

After all, Gao Qing closed her eyes.

In any case, they haven't found out who attacked Shiranui until now. This is an iron fact.

Gao Qing has followed Toyotomi for many years and understands Toyotomi's temperament: rewards and punishments are clear.Never treat the meritorious people badly, and at the same time never spare the incompetent people lightly.

Gao Qing, who closed her eyes tightly, was already mentally prepared to be punished by Toyotomi.

But who knows that the imaginary punishment did not come.

"That's all." Toyotomi said softly, "It's really difficult for you to find out who destroyed Shiranui with so few clues."

"So I won't pursue you."

Toyotomi's words made Gao Qing feel as if she had received an amnesty, her eyes that had been tightly closed opened suddenly, and the cold sweat on her forehead finally stopped.

Toyotomi walked slowly to the window.

After looking at the scenery outside the window, he said in a still calm tone:

"I originally came to Edo for the convenience of commanding the subordinates who were lurking in Shiranui and successfully completed the control of Shiranui."

"Since Shiranui is destroyed now, there is no point in continuing to stay in Edo."

Gao Qing raised her eyebrows: "Lord Toyotomi, are you planning to go back?"

"Well, that's the plan."

"But" Toyotomi changed the subject.

"It's rare to come to Edo."

"If you don't do anything, isn't it a waste of time?"

After finishing speaking, Toyotomi turned his head and smiled at Gao Qing.

It's just that the smile on his face didn't look warm at all.

Chapter 437 Ogata's Wedding Day 【Burst Update 1W1】

There are three main types of weddings in ancient Japan: weddings in front of gods, weddings in front of Buddhas, and weddings in front of people.

For these three types of weddings, you can roughly infer the difference between them just by looking at their names.

A shrine-style wedding, as the name suggests, is a wedding held in a shrine.It is the most complicated of the three types of wedding procedures.
