I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

After Kitano received the news that Matsudaira Takanobu had returned, he quickly led his people back to the camp, and finally returned to the camp after the light of the sky.

"Yeah." Kitano nodded, "I just came back. It's great that you are safe and sound, sir."

After all, Kitano took a few steps quickly, rushed to the front and back of Matsudaira Jonobu, then knelt down on the ground with very skilled movements, and posed the standard Dogeza posture to Matsudaira Jonobu.

"This time, I waited for the guards to let you suffer such a suffering! We waited"

"Okay." Matsudaira Sadanobu waved his hand.

Before Kitano's apology was finished, Matsudaira Sadanobu waved his hand first, and interrupted Kitano's conversation.

"This accident is not to blame." Matsudaira said softly, "This accident is purely an accident that no one expected. Get up."

Hearing Matsudaira's words, Kitano secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and after thanking Matsudaira in a loud voice, Kitano stood up from the ground.

"You worked hard last night. You must have suffered a lot in order to find me." Sadanobu Matsudaira glanced at Kitano's eyes that were red from not sleeping all night, "Go down and rest now."

Kitano: "Yes!"

Matsudaira Sadanobu turned around and returned to his tent with his hands behind his back.

Kitano raised his eyes and glanced at the back of Matsudaira Sadanobu, a little hesitation flashed across his face.

It wasn't until Matsudaira Sadanobu was about to lift the curtain of the tent and enter his own tent that Kitano finally made up his mind.

"grown ups!"

Kitano stopped Matsudaira Sadanobu.

"What is it?" Matsudaira Sadanobu turned around.

"I, I caught a gold digger in the wild yesterday. The gold digger told me an important piece of information that I don't know whether it's true or not. I think it's very necessary to tell my lord this information."

"Information?" Matsudaira Sadanobu frowned slightly, "Let's hear it."

"My lord, let's talk about it in another place." Kitano looked around, "I think it's better not to let too many people know about this information."

"come in."

After Matsudaira Sadanobu took a deep look at Kitano, he turned and entered his camp, and Kitano hurriedly followed.

In the small camp, there were only Matsudaira Sadanobu and Kitano at this time.

"Tell me." Matsudaira Sadanobu stood with his hands behind his back, "What information?"

Kitano swallowed a mouthful of saliva.Then he lowered his volume, and whispered the "important information" he just claimed in a volume that only he and Matsudaira Sadanobu could hear clearly.

Matsudaira Sadanobu was originally expressionless.

But while listening to the "important information" from Kitano, Matsudaira Sadanobu slowly widened his face in shock.

After Kitano closed his mouth and stopped speaking, the shock still remained on Matsudaira Sadanobu's face, and it did not dissipate for a long time.

After a long time, Matsudaira Sadanobu rearranged his expression and expression.

He asked Kitano with a heavy face:

"Where is the gold digger now?"

"I brought that person back!" Kitano said hastily.

"Bring him over to me."

"Yes!"

Grandfather Jiang was taken tremblingly into a simple tent.

As soon as he was pushed into the tent, grandfather Jiang saw a person in the tent.

And this person is the middle-aged man he saw yesterday who was rescued by Ogata Yidaosai.

The middle-aged man standing in front of grandfather Jiang was naturally Matsudaira Sadanobu.

At this moment, there are only Matsudaira Sadanobu and grandfather Jiang in the camp.

After seeing his grandfather Jiang, Matsudaira Sadanobu didn't say any nonsense, and asked directly:

"Are you that grandfather Jiang?"

"Yes, yes!" Grandfather Jiang hurriedly replied, "My name is Grandfather Jiang Sanlang!"

As Grandfather Jiang replied, he thought to himself: Who is this person?

He wears a knife that looks expensive at first glance, and there are so many soldiers in the army who only follow him.

While grandfather Jiang was still guessing the real identity of the person in front of him, the new question that Matsudaira Sadanobu asked directly interrupted grandfather Jiang's thoughts.

"I've heard of it. Yesterday you witnessed the whole process of me being rescued by a certain samurai, and then you recognized that samurai as the executioner Yidaosai. Am I right?"

As soon as Matsudaira Sadanobu finished speaking, grandfather Jiang nodded abruptly.

"That's right! That person must be Yidao Zhai, the executioner! He can't be wrong!"

Grandfather Jiang quickly told Matsudaira Sadanobu how he met Ogata Issai, and how he recognized that person as Ogata Isai yesterday.

Summarize what Grandfather Jiang said. The warrior who saved Matsudaira Sadanobu yesterday, except for his appearance, his voice, sword skills, reminders, hairstyle, and saber style are all the same. Ogata Yidao Zhai is no different.

When Matsudaira Sadanobu listened carefully to his grandfather Jiang's narration, various memories of "Mashima Goro" began to emerge in the depths of Matsudaira Sadanobu's mind

He remembered that when he first met "Mashima Goro", he had an accent from Izumo, and when he introduced himself, he also said that he was from Izumo.

He remembered that "Mashima Goro" once defeated more than 20 officials who had been reformed by fire robbers in Yoshiwara with his own strength, and his swordsmanship was extremely superb.

He remembered that "Mashima Goro" suddenly appeared in Edo after the "Nijo Castle Incident" in Kyoto ended.

The period from the end of the "Nijo Castle Incident" to the appearance of "Mashima Goro" in Edo is enough for a person to walk from Kyoto to Edo.

Memories continue to emerge from the depths of my mind.

The expression on Matsudaira Sadanobu's face was also changing rapidly.

After grandfather Jiang finished speaking, Matsudaira Sadanobu lowered his head slightly and remained silent.

Grandfather Jiang didn't dare to disturb Matsudaira Sadanobu, so he kept his mouth shut and let the atmosphere of the camp fall into silence.

After a long time in the past, Matsudaira Sadanobu slowly raised his head and looked directly at his grandfather Jiang.

The way he looked at his grandfather Jiang could not be described in words.

Looking at Matsudaira Sadanobu's gaze, for some reason, grandfather Jiang felt that ominous premonitions were constantly popping up in his mind.

Matsudaira Sadanobu didn't say a word to his grandfather Jiang Da.

Instead, he walked out of the tent quickly and shouted at the guards not far outside the tent:

"Detain this man in my camp! Then call Kitano!"

Suddenly receiving an order from Matsudaira Sadanobu, Kitano hurried to the camp where Matsudaira Sadanobu lived.

As soon as he entered the camp, Matsudaira Sadanobu didn't say any unnecessary nonsense, and directly angrily said:

"I just interrogated the gold digger myself."

"That guy is a complete liar!"

"He just pretended that the samurai who saved me yesterday was Ogata Ittosai just to save his own life and Jinsha."

"The samurai who saved me yesterday is just an ordinary samurai! It's not Yidao Zhai at all!"

"Kitano-kun, you should take care of yourself in the future, don't be fooled so easily again."

Listening to the words in Matsudaira Sadanobu's eyes, Kitano turned pale with fright, and quickly knelt down on the ground.

After working in the army for several years, Kitano has developed a skill that if the superior beats and scolds you, don't fight back, let alone fight back.Even if you don't know whether the superior is right or wrong, just keep apologizing.

"Yes, the subordinate is stupid!" Kitano said loudly, "I mistrusted a gold digger!"

"This person had committed a serious crime of panning for gold before, but then he deceived us and cut off his head! His bag of gold dust will be returned to the state treasury!"

"Yes Yes!"

"Go down." Matsudaira Sadanobu waved his hand.

Seeing that Sadanobu Matsudaira asked him to retreat, Kitano immediately left as if he had received an amnesty, and there was only Sadanobu Matsudaira left in the tent again.

After Kitano left, Matsudaira Sadanobu slowly raised his head and glanced at the tent above his head.

"Ugh"

Then he let out a long sigh.

His eyes are full of complex colors, and his expression is unpredictable, making it difficult to guess what he is thinking now.

Chapter 515 The sword shines, hiding the moonlight [7600 words]

"Woooo! Woohoo!"

Grandfather Jiang struggled hard, and now he was so frightened that his face was covered with tears.

Because his mouth was tied with a dirty piece of cloth, grandfather Jiang couldn't speak half-formed words, he could only whimper incomprehensibly.

From just now, grandfather Jiang has been in a state of confusion.

First, he was taken to a small camp, and was pushed into a tent in a short time. In that tent, he saw the middle-aged man who was rescued by Ogata Yidaosai yesterday, and was immediately asked by the middle-aged man, "Yesterday Is the samurai I saw Ogata Ittosai?" After that, he was escorted back to the place where he was originally detained.

Then, only half an hour later, three warriors in full armor appeared in front of him.

The three of them appeared in front of Grandfather Jiang, without saying a word, two of them controlled him, one on the left and one on the right, while the other took out a dirty cloth and tied his mouth tightly to prevent him from speaking.

No matter how stupid Grandfather Jiang was, he realized what had happened.

He struggled hard but couldn't break free from the control of the three soldiers.

He wanted to howl, wanted to question why he had to kill him, all the information he had provided about Ogata Ittosai so far was true, but because his mouth was tied with cloth strips, except for the whimpering sound Other than that, no sound came out.

The three soldiers did not talk nonsense to their grandfather Jiang Duo from beginning to end.

He pushed grandfather Jiang directly to an empty space, then kicked him on the back knee, forcing him to kneel down again, and then one of the soldiers quickly pulled out the knife from his waist.

Swinging the knife, the light of the knife brushed across grandfather Jiang's neck, and a good man's head rolled to the ground, dyeing the white snow underneath red

It took less than 3 minutes from the time the three soldiers appeared in front of Grandfather Jiang to the moment when Grandfather Jiang's head was chopped off.

Grandfather Jiang, who was still anxiously worried about whether he could survive and get back the gold sand, was separated from his body in less than 2 minutes and died. Grandfather Jiang didn't know why the butcher knife came down so suddenly

Matsudaira Jonobu's camp

"My lord, please forgive my dereliction of duty." In the camp, Tachibana knelt down in front of Matsudaira Sadanobu with a face of shame, "As the surname of my lord, I slept until the sun was high and I didn't get up."

Because she was too tired yesterday and went to bed very late, Tachibana had a good sleep last night so deep that even an earthquake might not wake her up.

Matsudaira Sadanobu knew that Tachibana must have accumulated a lot of fatigue yesterday, so he didn't send someone to wake Tachibana up and let Tachibana fall asleep.

Tachibana slept until just now.

After waking up, he asked others about the current time, and after learning that Matsudaira Sadanobu had already woken up, Tachibana quickly finished dressing in shame, then rushed to Matsudaira Sadanobu's camp, and apologized to Matsudaira Sadanobu for his negligence.

"Okay." Matsudaira Takanobu said softly, "Get up quickly. I didn't let other people wake you up. Yesterday was really hard for you, and you should sleep a little longer."

After Tachibana got up quickly, Matsudaira Sadanobu straightened his face and asked seriously:

"Go down now and check to see if all the people who went out to look for me yesterday have returned."

"Because of yesterday's accident, we have been delayed a lot of time now. We can't waste time like this."

"When everyone is here, we will immediately go back on the road and join Daomori and the others."

"Yes!" Tachibana shouted loudly, and then quickly walked out of Matsudaira Sadanobu's tent.

After walking out of Matsudaira Jonobu's tent quickly, Tachibana couldn't help but stop, and looked back at Matsudaira Jonobu's tent.

"The old man seems to be in a bad mood today." Tachibana muttered in a low voice that only he could hear clearly.

Tachibana has followed Matsudaira Sadanobu for a long time.In these years, Tachibana has followed Matsudaira Sadanobu for more time than Matsudaira Sadanobu's wife and children.

Because he has been accompanying Matsudaira Sadanobu all the time, Tachibana knows all kinds of little habits in Matsudaira Sadanobu's life like the back of his hand.

Just when he entered the camp to look for Matsudaira Jonobu, Tachibana quickly saw that Matsudaira Jonobu seemed to be in a bad mood today.Once Matsudaira Sadanobu was in a bad mood, he would exude such an aura.

Although he wondered why Matsudaira Sadanobu was in a bad mood today, Tachibana didn't have the guts and qualifications to ask Matsudaira Sadanobu why he was so, so he could only keep this question in his heart for the time being, and then quickly left from Matsudaira Sadanobu's tent to deal with it Matsudaira has just issued a new mission to him.

Red Moon Fortress

Today's Red Moon Fortress is quite lively.

Because today is the day when the hunting festival is held twice a year.

The hunting festival was held in a spacious open space on the left side of the Red Moon Fortress.
