I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

"It is basically consistent with what I have heard about Yidao Zhai's deeds."

In Nishino Jiro's script, Hanyu I is a young man based on Ogata, a lower-level samurai of the Izumo Hirose Domain.

He has superb swordsmanship, but because of his humble status, he has been living a poor but stable life.

The current lord of the Hirose Domain is a cruel and heartless tyrant. Although Hanyu I had a humble status, he was always worried about the future of the domain and sympathized with the citizens who were tortured and destroyed by the tyrant.

Until one day, just for fun, the tyrant ordered Hanyu I's fellow swordsmen to kill each other.

Hanyu I's brothers refused to obey, so they were all brutally killed by the tyrant.

Also killed was Hanyu I's sword master.

Hanyu I happened to be away from the sword gym because of something, so he escaped the catastrophe.

After learning that his master and brothers were all slaughtered, Hanyu I decided to take revenge and assassinate the tyrant.

After lying dormant for a period of time, the best time to assassinate finally came when the tyrant went hunting.

Hanyu I went alone to assassinate the tyrant, beheading hundreds of bodyguards of the tyrant, and finally succeeded in killing the tyrant.

The above is the outline of the first draft of the script written by Jiro Nishino.

"Your data collection is quite complete."

Ogata folded his arms around his chest, lowered his head slightly, and said softly in an unusually calm tone:

"Even the master and brothers of Yidao Zhai were killed by the tyrant, and the reasons for the killing have been found out, and they are very accurate."

"As far as I know, the brothers of Yidao Zhai were indeed coerced by the tyrant to kill each other, and then they were killed because they didn't."

Although there was no difference in Ogata's expression and tone, A-Machi still unconsciously cast a caring look at Ogata beside him.

"Hmph." Nishino Jiro, who hadn't noticed Ah-Ming's little trick, smiled complacently, "In order to complete this script, I still put in a lot of effort."

"But there are still some inaccuracies." Ogata smiled and shrugged, "The last part is a little inaccurate."

"As far as I know, Yidao Zhai didn't go to assassinate that tyrant by himself."

"He had companions at the time."

"Oh?" Nishino Erlang showed doubts and curiosity on his face, "I would like to hear more about it!"

Ogata told Nishino Jiro the real historical facts.

The elders participated in that assassination, and there were 7 assassins who came to the front line to assassinate the tyrant, including Yidao Zhai.

It's just that only Yidao Zhai survived in the end.

After hearing this version that he had never heard of before from Ogata, Jiro Nishino widened his eyes in surprise.

"The elders of the Hirose clan were involved in the assassination. I have indeed heard of this before."

"But it's the first time I've heard that Yidao Zhai had other helpers at the time."

"Anyway, before I left Izumo, it was widely circulated in Izumo that Ogata had six helpers at that time." Ogata continued, "At that time, for the sake of convenience and to avoid cultivating feelings, all Only use code names such as Ichiro and Erlang to match."

"So the other six assassins who died in the assassination didn't get their names passed down."

"Did Yidao Zhai have any other helpers at that time?" Nishino Erlang's eyeballs rolled up, and the excitement in his eyes became more and more intense. Did you survive?"

"This version of the story is more ups and downs and more tragic."

Snapped!

Nishino Jiro patted his thigh.

"Mashima-sama! Please help me finish the script. You are really right!"

"Thanks to you, I know a new version of the story of Yi Dao Zhai."

"This version of the story is much more ups and downs than any version I know before! At the same time, it is much more tragic! It is more suitable for adaptation into a Kabuki script!"

After all, Nishino Erlang couldn't wait to turn out his pen and ink.

"I'll correct the story now!"

"There's no rush to correct the story." Ogata smiled, "Let me first teach you how our Izumo people speak, and what the living habits of Izumo are like."

"Ah, yes." Jiro Nishino rubbed his hair awkwardly, "If you don't learn the speaking style and living habits of the Izumo people first, you will write a bunch of people from the Northeast later."

Although Jiro Nishino's father is very supportive of his ambition to become a Kabuki playwright, as the second son of Gentachibiya, he also has to help with some business matters on weekdays.

Nishino Jiro only has time to write scripts every morning.He helps out at home in the afternoon and evening.

So Ogata and A-machi left the Tachibana house just after noon.

Nishino Jiro decided to rewrite his script and use the version of "Ichitosai has a companion" that Ogata told him just now.

Naturally, it is impossible to rewrite such a large script in one morning.

So before Ogata left, he made an agreement with Jiro Nishino that Ogata would return to Tachibana House on time at [-]:[-] tomorrow morning, and then they would compile the script together until the script was finished.

Judging from Jiro Nishino's writing speed, according to Ogata's estimate, he probably wouldn't be able to rewrite the script in a week.

As soon as he left Yuantachibana House, A-Machi said to Ogata in a tone of surprise:

"You are much more serious than I imagined."

"Huh? Why is it so much more serious?" Ogata asked back.

"Your assistance to Nishino-kun. I have been observing you just now. You are so serious. Teach him bit by bit what the Izumo cavity looks like, and what the living habits and customs of the Izumo people are like." .”

"Also help him add some details on the content of the script."

After hearing Ah-cho's words, Ogata couldn't help but smile.

After organizing his words, Ogata lowered his voice and said softly:

"Because I just read the first draft of Nishino Jiro today, and suddenly realized: This is a good opportunity to let the world know the truth about the assassination of Matsudaira Gennai."

"For a long time, many people thought that I was the one who went to assassinate Matsudaira Gennai alone."

"I didn't know that I actually had six comrades at that time."

"The elders of Cang Yong's family secretly supported us and organized us."

"It's everyone's hard work that made Matsudaira Gennai the leader."

"In the end, people in the world only know about Ogata Yidaosai."

"Although even I don't know their real names, their existence should not be forgotten."

"So I plan to use the power of kabuki to let the world know that besides me, there were several heroes."

"Although Nishino-kun is still a little young, his writing style is quite good. It is possible to write a work that will be famous in history."

"So I've made up my mind now."

Ogata tightened the haori and scarf on his upper body, his eyes were full of determination.

"I will do my best to help Nishino-kun write this script well."

"As for whether this kabuki play based on my deeds will eventually become popular all over the country like Chu Chenzang, it's up to fate."

In this era of underdeveloped entertainment, popular entertainment items such as kabuki and storytelling have a very large influence among ordinary people.

Many historical figures or historical events have expanded their popularity and influence through popular entertainment such as kabuki and storytelling.

Through kabuki, let the public know that besides Yidaosai, there were other heroes who sacrificed their lives. This is Ogata's current goal.

Let the public generally accept the view that "Yidao Zhai had companions at the beginning", and after decades or one or two hundred years, maybe some people who are interested in this period of history will conduct in-depth investigations.

Then maybe we can find out the names and identities of the martyrs who sacrificed their lives with Ogata back then.

By then, the truth of history will be truly revealed.

"Should it be popular all over the country like Zhong Chenzang?" Ah-Ming shrank his neck, "That should be difficult."

"Whether a kabuki play can be popular all over the country is not only related to the quality of the script, but also to many factors, such as luck"

"That's why I said that whether this kabuki play based on my deeds can become popular all over the country like Chu Chenzang, I can only leave it to fate."

After shrugging his shoulders with a wry smile, Ogata crossed his hands into Haori's sleeves.

"Okay, what are we going to do with the time after that?"

"Anyway, let's go shopping first." A-Ting said, "I just took a brief stroll in Nishinno-cho last night, and there are still many places I haven't visited yet."

"No, I'm not just talking about how to spend time this afternoon and evening." Ogata breathed out, "I'm talking about what we should do for the next month."

"Nishino-kun's father has already said that their merchant ship will not be able to sail until next month at the earliest."

"It's only the end of the month."

"We have to live here for more than a month."

"What are we going to do for more than a month?"

"You can't hang around in Nishino Town every day, can you?"

Ogata's question stumped A-Machi.

Ogata's idea is to find a way to brush up experience and level up in this more than a month.

They are going to Ezo soon.

The entire Ezo land is basically in a state of waiting to be developed. At the same time, there are three forces of the shogunate, Ezo, and Lucia. It should be the most chaotic place in Japan at present.

Go to such a chaotic place, let your own strength be stronger, and you can have more protection.

But here comes the problem?

Where do I go to find a place where I can brush experience and levels?

Ogata raised his hand and gently rubbed his temples on both sides.

Where can I brush experience points and levels efficiently?

Ogata only pondered for a moment, and suddenly felt like a lightning flashed across his mind.

At the moment when the lightning flashed, Ogata suddenly remembered that in this era, there were basically some kind of buildings in some small-scale cities and towns.

In this kind of building, it is possible to cut people openly

"Machi."

"Ok?"

"After dinner, can you accompany me to find out if there is a sword gym in Jinye Town?"

Ogata and A-machi found a random soba noodle restaurant, and after finishing today's lunch, they began to look for a sword restaurant in Nishinocho.

After asking a few passers-by, the two learned that there was only one sword gym in Jinye Town.

This sword hall is called "Hosho Sword Hall", and the school of swordsmanship taught is Katori Shinto style.

After asking about the location of this sword gym, the two hurried to the location of this Baosheng sword gym.

After arriving near the Baosheng Sword Gym, the two saw this rather impressive sword Gym from a distance.

Walking quickly to the front and back of the Baosheng Sword Gym, Ogata carefully looked at the sword Gym.

"Is this the Baosheng Sword Gym?" Ogata muttered.

"This sword hall is really grand." Ah-ding walked along the open wooden door and looked into the sword hall.

The periphery of Baosheng Sword Hall is surrounded by a thick stone wall, and there is only a wooden door more than 2 meters high for people to enter and exit.

Now the wooden door is open, and there are no guards inside or outside the door.

What is eye-catching is that there is a plaque on the left and right sides of the wooden door.

The plaque on the right hand side of the wooden door.There is a line of big Chinese characters written on it: Tianzhenzhen Chuanxiang and Shinto Liu Baosheng Dojo.

Tianzhenzhen Kotori Shinto Style is the full name of Kotori Shinto Style.

The font size of the four Chinese characters "Baosheng Daochang" is two sizes larger than the words "Tianzhen Chuanxiang Takes Shinto Flow" above.

This plaque just states the school of swordsmanship taught in this sword hall and the name of the dojo, there is nothing worth noting.

On the other hand, Ogata was a little concerned about the plaque hanging on the left hand side of the wooden door.

There are only 4 vigorous and powerful Chinese characters written on this plaque:

Just when Ogata looked at the plaque with somewhat surprised eyes, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from far and near from the street behind him. It was a middle-aged man who put his hands into his sleeves alternately.

Judging by the way this middle-aged man is dressed, he is probably just an ordinary townsman.
