I was a swordsman in ancient Japan
Page 667
Speaking of this kind of thing is afraid that it will be regarded as crazy talk by others.
Countless questions popped up in Kitano's mind.
What concerned Kitano the most was whether Ogata Ittosai was really here.
If Ogata Ittosai is really in this snow country now, then this information really hopes to make them rich or famous.
Those who pay a little attention to current affairs now, who doesn't know the famous executioner Yidao Zhai.
Kitano was born in the banner family of Edo, and at the same time, he was a senior general with a high status in the army. He obtained all the news related to the government much faster than ordinary people.
Prior to this, he had received accurate information that the emperor was dissatisfied with the shogunate's delay in catching Ogata Isai, and put pressure on the shogunate. In order to deal with the emperor, the shogunate had to further increase the bounty offered by Ogata Isai.Nowadays, Ogata Yidao Zhai's bounty has reached as high as 800 taels, which is unprecedented, and there should be no one in the future.
If he could manage to take down the head of Ogata Ittosai, then this huge bounty would be enough for the entire family to live a few lifetimes leisurely and unrestrainedly.
Of course, Kitano is not the kind of person who is good at martial arts, he doesn't think he has any ability to take down the head of Ogata Ittosai.
It's just that even if the head of Ogata Ittosai cannot be removed, if he can report the relevant information about the current most wanted criminal in the shogunate to his superiors, the corresponding reward will certainly not be small.
Maybe his name will appear in the future history books. The reason why Ogata Yidao Zhai was defeated in the end was because he was discovered by a general named Kitano Shuki.
Seeing that Kitano remained silent for a long time, grandfather Jiang couldn't help emphasizing again:
"Please believe me! What I just said is not half a lie."
Kitano, who had been bowing his head and meditating, slowly raised his head at this time.
After taking a deep look at his grandfather Jiang in front of him, he asked:
"You met Ogata Yidaosai and the person we were looking for just now, in that direction, right?"
Kitano raised his finger and pointed in the direction his grandfather Jiang pointed just now.
"That's right." Grandpa Jiang nodded his head.
After another moment of silence, Kitano turned his head and shouted to the subordinates beside him:
"Let's go! And tie this man's hands and take him with him." Kitano pointed at his grandfather Jiang.
Afterwards, Kitano said to his grandfather Jiang in a nakedly threatening tone:
"You have to come with us."
"If what you just said is true, I will keep my promise, let you go, and return your gold dust to you."
"If I find out that you are lying to me, I will let you know that there are more terrible things in this world than having your head chopped off."
Grandfather Jiang's body trembled with fear.
But the matter has come to this point, and grandfather Jiang has no room to retreat or repent, so he bites the bullet:
"I see!"
The two subordinates next to Kitano raised their chins, and then the two subordinates quickly stepped forward, tied grandfather Jiang's hands tightly with a thick and long rattan, and then held grandfather Jiang from left to right to prevent grandfather Jiang from escaping.
In the cave where Ogata and the others lived
Ogata had been quietly listening to Matsudaira Sadanobu's narration just now.
When Matsudaira Sadanobu was hanging Tiger Tetsu back to his waist, Oo said softly with a faint smile:
"My lord, although you don't have much chance to travel around now."
"But it's okay to try to realize your youthful ideals after you retire in old age."
Matsudaira Sadanobu stared blankly at Ogata: "When I am old and retire? When I am old and retire, how old will I be?"
Speaking of this, Matsudaira Sadanobu put on a half-joking tone.
"By then, I should no longer have that physical strength and energy, and I can only live a life of seclusion in my hometown."
"That's right." Ogata shrugged with a smile, "But compared to whether it can be done, whether it should be done is our top priority."
Matsudaira Sadanobu was stunned.
Matsudaira Sadanobu, who usually doesn't have much expression, laughed out loud after a brief moment of stupefaction.
"Well said! That's right!" Song Ping calmed down, "Don't ask if you can, first ask if you should."
After laughing out loud, Matsudaira Sadanobu let out a sigh of relief as if he was tired from laughing.
"Mashima-kun, you are such an interesting person."
"At the beginning, after I saw the article you wrote in the essay test of Yuqian, I discovered that your thinking coincides with mine."
"At the beginning, I was attracted by your thoughts that are extremely close to me, so I wanted to accept you as my surname."
After all, Matsudaira Sadanobu suddenly looked straight at Ogata in front of him with meaningful eyes.
"I don't like people who break their promises very much."
"If it were someone else, after making the mistake of forgetting my promise with me, I would definitely not give him any good looks."
"But now I want to make an exception once in a while."
Matsudaira Sadanobu sat up straight, his face became solemn, and said solemnly to Ogata in front of him:
"Mashima-kun, are you willing to join me and become my surname?"
Matsudaira Sadanobu asked Ogata the question he had asked Ogata a few months ago.
Because Aizan and Ahili didn't know the identity of Matsudaira Sadanobu and the relationship between Matsudaira Sadanobu and Ogata, they couldn't get into the topic just now.I can only become a "melon-eating crowd", look at Ogata, and then at Matsudaira Sadanobu, and stay silently eating melons.
As for A-cho, he was shocked when he heard what Matsudaira Sadanobu said just now.
She originally thought that after Ogata released Matsudaira Sadanobu's pigeons for a few months, even if Matsudaira Sadanobu said that the past was wiped out, he must still have a grudge.
Unexpectedly, Matsudaira Dadaxin once again threw an olive branch at her husband.
Looking at Matsudaira Sadanobu who threw an olive branch at him again, Ogata was only taken aback, then smiled and said:
"Thank you, my lord, for your kindness. But the life of a ronin is more suitable for me."
Ogata threw back the olive branch thrown by Matsudaira Sadanobu in a tactful tone.
Jonobu Matsudaira's expression changed several times in an instant, and a puzzled look slowly appeared in Jonobu Matsudaira's pupils.
Ogata then went on to say:
"I'm not interested in official career. I don't have the ability to enter official career."
"I still prefer the free wanderer life now."
"Although I can't live in such a luxurious house or eat such exquisite food, but because I have a wife and friends by my side, I don't feel pain, and I don't want to make any changes to this kind of life."
"So, my lord, thank you for your kindness."
After Ogata finished speaking, the puzzlement on Matsudaira Sadanobu's face gradually turned into regret.
"Mashima-kun, you are the first young samurai to explicitly reject my invitation since I became a senior middle school." Sadanobu Matsudaira showed a faint wry smile, "In the past, whenever I sent a message to a young samurai I admired, When the invitation was given and they were given the opportunity to serve as officials in the shogunate, they were all ecstatic without exception."
"I have never seen someone who directly refuses like you and expresses that he wants to continue to be a ronin."
Nobunaga Matsudaira sighed.
"Forget it. Since you don't want to join me, I can't force you"
"But when you change your mind, you can come to me anytime."
"It's not hard to find my mansion in Edo. You can find out where my mansion is if you ask someone."
"If you change your mind in the future, you can come to me as my residence in Edo."
"I will tell the servants of my mansion in the future: If a person who calls himself Mashima Goro visits in the future, he will let that person in immediately and let that person come to see him."
Ogata knew that even if he arrived, he would not become an official under Matsudaira Sadanobu's command, so Ogata just nodded and said casually:
"Well. I will."
"Even if you haven't changed your mind, you can come to my mansion to find me." Matsudaira Sadanobu added, "You saved my life. I have to return this favor."
"If you encounter any troubles and need help in the future, you can come to my mansion in Edo to find me. If I can help, I will definitely help."
"Thank you." Ogata said very politely, "If there is a chance in the future, I will bother you. But for a long time in the future, I probably won't have the chance to go to Edo."
"Let me take the liberty to ask, how long do you plan to travel here in Ezo?" Matsudaira Sadanobu asked this question very abruptly.
"Huh? This kind of thing depends on the situation." Ogata said, "I feel that I have traveled enough here in Ezo, so I will naturally leave Ezo."
"I think it's better for you to leave Ezo as soon as possible." Matsudaira said seriously, "At least wait until next year to travel here. The flames of war have already ignited in Ezo, which is not a place suitable for travel. "
"War?" Ogata's pupils shrank suddenly, "Did something happen?"
At this time, Machi who was on the side was also attracted by the words of Matsudaira Sadanobu just now.
"Since just now, I've noticed that you don't seem to know what's going on in Ezo." Sadanobu Matsudaira said softly, "I didn't expect to be guessed right by me."
"Fortunately, I asked you specifically, otherwise you would continue to foolishly travel around the land that has already ignited the war."
Matsudaira Sadanobu picked up his water glass, took a sip of water, and said slowly:
"Do you know the Red Moon Fortress?"
"The Ezo living in the Red Moon Fortress encouraged the naturalized Ezo in Matsumae Castle to start a riot, which resulted in heavy casualties in Matsumae Castle and countless civilian casualties. It was not until the army was dispatched that the riot in Matsumae Castle was quelled."
"The ezos of Red Moon Fortress have gone too far this time."
"So in order to punish the ezos of the Red Moon Fortress, the shogunate formally declared war on the Red Moon Fortress, assembled a large army and marched northward, vowing to bring down the Red Moon Fortress."
"The ezos of the Red Moon Fortress encouraged the naturalized ezos of Matsumae Castle to set off a riot?" Xu Fang was startled.
Aizan, who has already evolved into a qualified "translation tool person", has been translating what Matsudaira Jonobu said sentence by sentence to Ahili who doesn't understand Japanese.
After listening to Aizan's translation, Ahili showed the same shocked expression as Aizan.
Although neither Aizan nor Ahili wore the iconic red costumes of the Red Moon Fortress, they are now residents of the Red Moon Fortress.
What Matsudaira Sadanobu just said was like a blockbuster to the residents who had just become Red Moon Fortress.
"This, my lord!" Aizan hurriedly said, "Did you make a mistake? As far as I know, heh, no, the people in Red Moon Fortress don't seem to be the kind of people who would do such a thing. ah!"
"I'm not lying." Matsudaira Sadanobu said calmly, "If you don't believe me, you can go to Matsumae Castle to have a look."
"Until now, there are still quite a few people wearing sackcloth and mourning mourning for their relatives who died in the riots."
"And those thugs who were captured alive by us also admitted that it was the Eizawa people in the Red Moon Fortress who supported them, and they were able to set off such a large-scale riot."
"Now the army has penetrated deep into the interior of Ezo."
"It won't be long before the army can reach the Red Moon Fortress."
"If you don't want to be implicated by the war, get away from here quickly. It's best to go back to Japan first."
Until the words of Matsudaira Sadanobu fell, A-Machi, Ahili and Aizan were still immersed in the impact of Matsudaira Sadanobu's words just now.Because they were too shocked, their brains did not turn around for a long time.
Ogata's reaction was quick.
Ogata, who had seen many storms and waves, quickly came back to his senses, and then softly said to Matsudaira:
"My lord, thank you for your reminder. Without your reminder, we really wouldn't know that such a big thing happened in Ezodi now."
"You're welcome." Matsudaira Nobuo nods his head, "I already know that the Ezo land is not very peaceful, so let's leave quickly."
"If you insist on staying here and traveling, then I can't stop you."
"But my suggestion is to leave here as soon as possible. After the war subsides, if you want to visit Ezo again, then come to Ezo."
"Yeah." Ogata nodded, "But my lord, I have a question, are those thugs who set off the riots really instigated by the Eizumi of the Red Moon Fortress?"
"The evidence for this matter is conclusive." Matsudaira Sadanobu replied without hesitation, "Those thugs who were captured alive by us all pointed out that the instigators were the Ezos of the Red Moon Fortress."
"If we didn't have conclusive evidence, we wouldn't send troops to conquer the Red Moon Fortress."
Ogata didn't speak any more.
Just staring at Matsudaira Sadanobu, silent.
"My lord! My lord!"
At this moment, whether it is Ogata or the old middleman, they all heard "Master Laozhong" coming from outside the cave.
"It seems that my people have finally found this place." Joy flashed in Matsudaira Sadanobu's eyes, and he quickly stood up and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
Ogata also got up together, and followed Matsudaira Sadanobu to the entrance of the cave.
After coming to the entrance of the cave, Matsudaira Sadanobu shouted loudly to the outside of the cave, "Here I am!"
"Ah! It's the voice of the old middle-aged man!"
