I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

A touch of helpless bitterness slowly appeared on Vasily's face.

"We Cossacks are now under the control of the Tsar of Lucia."

"At the request of the Tsar, we had to come to the remote Far East to explore here."

"I haven't been home for four years."

“I really want to go home”

After raising his hand and scratching his hair, Vahili pouted forward.

"Here we are. That tent up ahead is my tent."

As the second-in-command of their group, Vasily lived in a tent that was not different from other people's tents, it was very simple.

Vasili lifted the curtain at the entrance of the tent: "Come in, it's a little messy, please don't mind."

After entering the tent one after the other, Ogata and Atachi looked around the place where Vasili lived.

Ogata found Vasily to be very dishonest which was a little messy.

The 3 tables of different sizes in the tent are full of all kinds of messy things.

The space on the floor was also occupied by all kinds of messy things, and there was almost no place to stay.

This level of mess, if you tell Ogata that this tent is a tent for storing sundries, Ogata will believe it.

Although there were all kinds of sundries in this tent, there was one thing that caught Ogata's attention.

There was a gun rack on a small table not far away.

On the gun rack was a very long musket.

It was this long musket that caught Ogata's attention.

Atachi and Ogata discovered the musket almost at the same time.

With bright eyes, A-Machi carefully stepped on the few open spaces on the floor that were not covered by various sundries, and came to the small table where the long musket was placed.

"Is this the musket you are using?" A-cho asked Vasili, "This is the first time I have seen such a long musket."

"Hahaha!" Vasili casually pulled a table next to him and sat down, "This gun is called the Kentucky Long Rifle, and it should be considered the most advanced musket."

"He shoots more accurately and from a longer distance."

"Eight years ago, the Americans of the American continent relied on this Kentucky long rifle to defeat the English army, win independence, and establish a brand new country."

"The American continent?" A-Ming looked puzzled.

"Across the sea to the east of your country of Japan is the American continent." Vahiri said, "Eight years ago, a group of people who immigrated to that continent just established a new country."

"It is said that in the Revolutionary War they were fighting, a gunman named Moxie Murphy shot and killed the enemy commander at a distance of 300 yards, 1 yard, 0.91 meters."

"How far is 300 yards?" Machi asked.

"Well, I don't know what unit of length you use in Japan."

"It's about 30 yards from our camp to Aiyaka's village of Kumar."

"So the distance of 300 yards is about 5 round trips from our camp to the village of Aiyaka."

"This gun can hit such a long distance?" A-cho's eyes widened in surprise, "And there is still a way to accurately hit the target at such a long distance."

"This kind of gun is currently only equipped in a small range among our Cossacks." Vasily shrugged.

Vasili looked at Ogata.

"Okay, let's talk about the topic."

"You said you were looking for two Japanese, right?"

"More than a year ago, we did come across two Japanese people whose appearance matches what you just said, but I don't know if they are the people you are looking for."

"We were moving to new places, exploring new unknown places."

"While passing through a certain forest, I suddenly heard a strange sound."

"We, who were curious, rode our horses over to take a look, and found that two Japanese, one old and one young, were arguing."

"We were far away at the time, so we couldn't hear what the two were arguing."

"The younger one, for some reason, I always feel him"

Vasili raised his hand and nodded his head.

"There seems to be something wrong here."

"Because of his appearance at the time, he looked really weird, hysterical."

Hearing this, Ogata narrowed his eyes slightly.

If the old and young couple that Vasili said were Xuanzheng and Xuanzhen, then this was in line with the information he had heard from the pet dealer named Tangshen, Xuanzhen's spirit seemed a little abnormal.

"We were not interested in knowing what the Japanese couple was arguing about, so after taking a look at them from a distance, we left."

"And the Japanese pair didn't seem to notice us from beginning to end."

"Then do you still remember where you saw these two people?" Ogata asked.

"Hmm... I don't really remember." Vasily shook his head, "After all, it was a long time ago."

"We live in no fixed place and change places every few days, so we don't remember where we saw those two Japanese."

Seeing that Vasili forgot where he met those two people, Ogata was a little disappointed.

But the information Vasili just provided still has some value.

If the Japanese couple were really Xuanzheng and Xuanzhen—then Xuanzhen’s mental state might be really bad...

Even Vasili, an outsider who watched from a distance, could see that the younger man did not look like a normal person...

"Then have you seen this pair of Japanese again, or have you seen other Japanese with similar appearance?" Ogata continued to ask.

"No more." Vasili shook his head, "Since then, we have never seen that pair of Japanese people again. We have not seen other people with similar appearance either."

"That's it... I understand." Ogata bowed slightly to Vasily, "Thank you for the information you provided."

"It's okay." Vasili waved his hand, "You don't need to be so polite. Hiss..."

Before he finished speaking, Vasily gasped suddenly, and then clutched his chest.

Ogata: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing...it's just that I accidentally pulled the place where you injured me just now." Vahili smiled, "Speaking of which, you are really amazing...it's the first time I've seen such a fast fist. I have no power to fight back.”

"Are you willing to follow us to our country later?"

"In our country, with your pair of fists, if you participate in those boxing matches, you will definitely make a lot of money!"

"We Cossacks usually like to hold various boxing matches, and then gamble money there!"

"With your ability, you will definitely make a lot of money!"

"No." Ogata politely declined, "I don't know any boxing skills, I only have brute force, and boxing matches are not suitable for me."

"You are so humble." Vasili shook his head with a wry smile, "With your strength and speed alone, even if you don't know any boxing skills, I think you can sweep away all our fighters."

Vasili was not an idiot either, he could tell that Ogata was just tactfully declining him just now.

His invitation to Ogata just now was just for fun, not serious, so even if Ogata rejected his invitation, he didn't feel depressed.

Originally, what I wanted to ask Vasili was only clues related to the whereabouts of Xuanzheng and Xuanzhen.

All I wanted to ask was done now.

But Ogata didn't take A-Ming away immediately.

Because—just now, Ogata had a second question that he wanted to ask Vasily.

"Vassili," Ogata said.

"Ok?"

Ogata looked at the Kentucky long rifle on the gun rack not far away.

"Can you sell us this gun?"

"Ah, yes. In addition to the gun, I hope you can sell us some of the bullets used in this gun."

"Oh?" Vasily widened his already big eyes, "You want a Kentucky long rifle?"

Vasili cast a surprised look at Ogata.

Atachi, who was standing beside Ogata, also looked at Ogata with surprised eyes.

"Yes." Ogata nodded, "You just said that this gun is currently equipped on a small scale among you Cossacks."

"So can you sell us? The price is negotiable."

"Do you need bear skins and bear bile? We just have 2 bear skins and 2 bear bile here."

"You want our guns... Are you interested in guns?"

"Well, more or less. We may need you to teach us how to use this Kentucky long rifle."

"Um... sorry." After pondering for a while, Vasili raised his hand and rubbed his short brown hair, which was already messy. "A gun is different from a telescope."

"For us in faraway lands, guns and horses are our life."

"I can give you any binoculars. But not guns."

"I can't just sell important guns to outsiders."

Ogata didn't give up: "Can't you really sell us?"

"Hmm..." Vasili pondered, "How about...you wait for our boss to come back."

"Selling guns is too important. I can't make the decision, the boss has to make the decision."

"You wait for the boss to come back, then ask him."

"Your boss?" Ogata asked, "Then when will your boss come back?"

"He took people to draw a few days ago. I think...should be back soon."

"I'll let you know when he comes back."

"...Alright then." Ogata nodded, "Anyway, we'll stay here for a few days."

"Then when your boss comes back, can you please come and inform us in time?"

"Of course! But... As compensation, can you promise me one thing?"

"Things? What's the matter? Don't talk about something too difficult."

"It's not difficult..."

Vasili swallowed hard, then looked at the naturally hanging under Ogata without turning his eyes...

hands.

Although he tried his best to conceal it, Vasili still couldn't hide the fiery light in his pupils.

Sensing the fiery Ogata in Vasili's eyes, his brows frowned involuntarily.

Vasili's light... Ogata was somewhat familiar with it.

In the past, when I was lurking in Yoshihara, when I was working in the Shirobei clubhouse in Yoshihara, the tourists who came to have fun looked at the wandering girls with similar eyes...

"After I rest for a few days, can you come and compete with me again?" Vasili raised his right fist.

The contest with Ogata just now was still fresh in Vasily's memory.

Whenever Ogata's fist landed on him, besides feeling the pain, he also felt that his body was melting into the colorful mist, which was very refreshing.

The five bodies seemed to be uttering the same cry: Yes!That's it!That's what boxing has to do!No mercy!Feel free to call!

Vahili also couldn't figure out why he felt so comfortable when the fist of the strong man hit him.

He has asked other people - the rest will not be like him, and the rest will only feel pain, no matter whether they are beaten by the weak or the strong, and they will not feel happy.

Although it seems that he is very different, Vasili doesn't care about it.

Today, Vasili experienced the most hearty feeling of comfort in Ogata's body for the first time in a long time.

It's like after living as an ascetic monk for more than half a year, I suddenly found a beautiful girl who can compose beautiful memories together for only 1 ruble.
