I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

"It's nothing, it's just a casual thought."

Ogata tried his best to put on a calm and breezy smile with the air of a master.

Mr. Yuan, I'm sorry

Ogata decided to be shameless.

A-cho just told Ogata that she would rest for another 2 sticks of incense.

And Ah-ding didn't talk nonsense, after two sticks of incense, Ah-ding said that she had had enough rest.

So Ogata and A-Machi took their luggage and prepared to leave here.

At the time of parting, Hosaka and others and the villagers of this village all came to send Ogata and Atachi off.

The villagers in this village are also very interesting. The village head personally led the villagers to see off Ogata and Atachi, but there were still not a few young girls in sight.

Ogata guessed: Most of these villagers should be eager for them to leave.

After all, the bandits who were thinking about them are gone now, so there is no need for Ogata and the others to stay in this village.

To put it bluntly: Ogata and the others are useless to the villagers.

So seeing Ogata leaving so happily, many villagers in this village should feel very happy.

But Ogata didn't care about that.

As a time traveler, Ogata has not been influenced by the so-called bushido thought of this era, so he does not have the idea that samurai are superior to peasants and dismissive of peasants.

He could understand the respect and awe the peasants had towards the warriors.

Hosaka and the others tried to keep Ogata, so that Ogata didn't have to leave in such a hurry, especially Mizuno. He hoped that Ogata would not leave in such a hurry.

He probably wanted to ask Ogata more about swordsmanship.

But Ogata, who had come here to achieve his purpose, was no longer willing to stay here, so he declined one by one to keep Hosaka and the others.

After saying goodbye to Hosaka and the villagers, Ogata and the others embarked on their way back to Nishino Town.

Today's weather is not bad.

There was no snow, and there were no dark clouds in the sky that were unpleasant to look at.

Today's luck is also very good.

During this journey, they did not encounter that kind of "Road Hog" who blocked the road and robbed them.

With a relaxed mood, Ogata and A-Machi walked forward at a constant speed, stepping on the layers of snow that had accumulated on the ground.

When they went to the village before, they set off early in the morning and arrived in the evening. The reason why it took so long was because the earth house and the two farmers who led the way were not very strong, and they had many rests in the middle.

Now that there is no "oil bottle", Ogata and A-machi only took a break during lunch.

When the sunset glowed in the sky, Nishikino-cho, which had been away for nearly two days, finally reappeared within the field of vision of Ogata and A-cho.

Because the hotel where he stayed was quite comfortable, Ogata found that hotel again and opened a new room.

Returning to Nishino Town, Ogata wanted to say hello to Jiro Nishino and the people at the Baosheng Sword Gym.

But seeing that the time seemed a bit too late, so he could only give up and planned to visit them one by one after dawn tomorrow and inform them that he was back.

After spending the first half of the night intensely with A-Ming in the bed of the hotel and the second half of the night calm, Xu Jing woke up at about 7 o'clock in the morning, got dressed, put on Dashitian and Dazizi, and went out hotel.

Ogata's first stop was the rehearsal venue of Takarajima House.

Pushing open the door of Treasure Island House's rehearsal venue, Oo conveniently saw everyone in Treasure Island House who was diligently rehearsing Yidao Zhai early in the morning, and Nishino Jiro who was already watching their rehearsal.

After seeing Ogata who suddenly appeared, Jiro Nishino exclaimed:

"Master Mashima! Are you back?"

"Well, I came back last night." Ogata walked slowly to Nishino Jiro's side.

"How? Did you encounter any interesting things in the nearby town?"

It was easy for Ogata to explain before, so he didn't tell Nishino Jiro and others that he left Nishino Town to fight bandits, but only said that he was going to a nearby town for sightseeing.

"Nothing interesting happened." Ogata shrugged, "Because nothing interesting happened, so I came back early."

"Mashima-sama, I don't know if you know." Nishino Jiro lowered his voice, as if he was about to reveal some secret, "It's been two days since you left Nishino Town, something big happened here Woolen cloth."

"Big event?" Ogata frowned, "What happened?"

"Well, it's really not a big deal if you insist." Jiro Nishino spread his hands and shrugged, "A military stationed near our Nishino Town yesterday afternoon."

"Army?" Ogata's pupils shrank slightly.

"Yeah." Nishino Erlang nodded, "It is said that the barracks of this army is now located one mile southwest of Nishino Town."

One mile in the Edo period is almost equal to 1 kilometers in modern times.

"Some courageous ones ran to look at the military flag of this army yesterday, wanting to see if it is the army of the shogunate, or the army of which vassal state."

"Then Mashima-sama, guess where that army is."

Nishino Jiro made a fool of himself.

"Hmm." Ogata pondered for a moment, then said casually, "Is it the army of the shogunate?"

Nishino Jiro shook his head.

"Not the army of the shogunate."

"Those who ran to look at the military flag yesterday saw the bamboo sparrow pattern, which is the army of the Sendai domain."

"Sendai Fan?" Ogata frowned even tighter.

The name of the Sendai Domain is also considered to be well-known throughout the country.

The Date family, who ruled the Sendai Domain, was one of the princes who possessed great strength to contend for world hegemony in the Warring States period 200 years ago.

The Date clan eventually surrendered to the Tokugawa clan because they lost to the Tokugawa clan.Due to Date's understanding of current affairs, after Tokugawa established the Edo Shogunate, he was granted the title of "Sendai Domain" and ruled over the vast land of Ou area.

Judging from the data on paper, the Sendai Domain is undoubtedly the strongest domain in the Ou region.

Rich in mineral resources, close to the sea, and excellent ports and pastures, the mining, animal husbandry, smelting, fishing and other industries of the Sendai Domain are extremely developed.

Because of the large amount of fertile land, the total rice production of the Sendai Clan in one year is as high as 62 shi in agriculture alone.It is a majestic domain with a stone height of more than 62 stone.

Coupled with the income from industries such as mining and animal husbandry, the financial scale of the Sendai Domain has reached an extremely terrifying level.

In terms of financial resources, there are probably no more than five vassal states in the whole country that surpass the Sendai Fan or are on par with the Sendai Fan.

"Approximately how many people are there in this Sendai army stationed near Nishinocho?" Ogata asked.

"I don't know. Those who went to see the military flag yesterday didn't dare to get too close to the military camp, so they came back after seeing the military flag from a distance."

"Why are the troops of the Sendai Domain here?" Ogata continued to ask, "Is there a battle going on somewhere?"

As a vassal state, the Sendai Fandom naturally cannot dispatch their troops casually.

Mobilizing the army at will may be suspected by the shogunate of rebellion.

Nishino Town, where Ogata is currently located, is located in the territory directly under the shogunate.

The army of Sendai Fan can enter the territory directly under the shogunate in such a swaggering manner, it must have obtained the permission of the shogunate.

"Who knows?" Erlang Nishino smiled wryly and shook his head, "Perhaps another peasant uprising broke out somewhere, as long as we are not involved."

Ogata was a little concerned about the sudden presence of an army from the Sendai clan stationed near Nishinocho.

But Nishino Jiro didn't know much about this army that suddenly appeared, and he had already told Ogata everything he knew.

Seeing that he couldn't find any other information related to this army, Ogata could only suppress his curiosity first.

Compared with when Ogata left Nishinocho, the actors of Treasure Island House are more proficient in their movements, which is a good thing to celebrate.

After briefly watching the rehearsal of Shimojimaya, and then having a brief chat with Jiro Nishino, Oo conveniently left the rehearsal venue of Takarashimaya and went to the Baosheng Sword Gym, where he had been away for 2 days. The masters and apprentices greeted each other, and then began to gain experience as usual.

Walking through the streets, large and small, with ease, the familiar walls and gates of the Baosheng Sword Gym gradually appeared in front of Ogata.

After passing through the gate of the wall and stepping on a path paved with white fine sand, we came to the gate of the gymnasium.

In front of the hall, as usual, there are 2 apprentices guarding the gate.

As Ogata was a diner of the Baosheng Sword Gym, these two apprentices naturally recognized Ogata.

Seeing that it was Ogata who came, the two apprentices rushed towards Ogata anxiously.

"Mashima-sama! You're back!"

"Yeah. I just came back to Nishinocho last night."

"Master Mashima! You came back just in time! A group of strange people entered our sword gym just now! They said they wanted to ask us for advice!"

"Someone is here to kick the hall?" Ogata raised his eyebrows.

"That person is so strong. Several Baosheng Ten Swords have already lost!"

"I see." Ogata nodded, "I'll go to the dojo to see the situation now."

After bidding farewell to the two apprentices guarding the gate, Ogata hurried towards the dojo.

After opening the door of the dojo, Ogata couldn't help being stunned by the scene in the dojo.

Curator Baosheng sat on the main seat of the dojo.

The apprentices of the sword hall sat on both sides of the sword hall.

More than a dozen samurai warriors kneeled solemnly in a corner of the dojo.

In the center of the dojo, a "giant" is standing.

The man standing in the center of the dojo is more than 1 meters tall. In the eyes of people of this era, such a height is no different from a giant.

On his shoulder is a large wooden gun with a handle half as thick as the mouth of a bowl and a total length of 3 meters.

The most eye-catching thing is that this person is wearing a set of heavy armor with dark red as the main color and black as the adjustment.

Helmet, breastplate, hand armor, leg armor, everything is available, armed to the teeth.

There is also a very cool black haori on the outside of the armor, whose hem can cover the buttocks.

"Bamboo sparrow pattern" is embroidered on the feather weaving.

The dozen or so strange warriors sitting in a corner of the dojo also had the same "bamboo sparrow pattern" on their clothes.

After Ogata opened the door and entered the dojo, all eyes in the arena naturally focused on Ogata.

"Master Mashima!" Everyone in the sword gym, headed by curator Baosheng, called out joyfully.

As for the dozen or so strange warriors sitting in a corner of the dojo, and the man in battle armor standing in the center of the dojo, they looked at Ogata with curious and doubtful eyes.

"Who are you?" The man in battle armor asked, "Are you also from this sword hall?"

"Probably." Ogata responded, "I am the diner of this sword hall."

"Oh?" The man in the battle armor twitched the corners of his mouth, smiled, then moved his eyes again, and looked at Ogata several times, "It feels like you are very strong."

After all, the man in the armor stood up straighter, and then announced the door of the house with a louder voice:

"In front of Qiuyue Li with seven guns in Xiaxianzhou! Don't know who is the next name?"

Ask for a monthly pass!Ask for a monthly pass!Ask for a monthly pass!

Please give me a monthly pass for my hard work like a donkey!

Chapter 460 Yidao Zhai vs Xianzhou Qiben Gun [6800 words]

"State" is a colloquial respect for the vassal state.

"Xianzhou" means Sendai Fan.The lord of the Sendai Domain can be called "Xianzhou Master".

By analogy: Aizu Fan is "Huizhou", and Ogata's hometown Hirose Fan is "Guangzhou".

As for "Seven Guns", it is quite an ancient title.

In the Warring States Period 200 years ago, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who had begun to emerge, once fought a very famous battle, the Battle of Jianyue.

In this battle, seven fierce generals performed exceptionally well.

After the battle, the world called these seven fierce generals "Qiyue Qiben Gun".

"Qiyue Seven Guns" is a household name.

"Xianzhou Seven Guns", Ogata has never heard of it.

When this guy who called himself "Seven Guns of Xianzhou" and "Akizuki Rizen" was looking at Ogata, Ogata was also looking at this person.
