I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

"Mr. Mashima, when you returned to our Heyezhe, you didn't tell the others that Kazuto's army was coming, did you?"

"Don't worry. I'm not an idiot." Ogata replied, "Before I met you, I didn't mention this to anyone. It's your job to tell the clansmen that there are foreign enemies coming, and I won't do it for you."

"But I suggest you tell your clansmen the bad news as soon as possible."

"This matter cannot be concealed at all. When the army of the shogunate comes to the city, you will no longer be able to hide it."

"I understand what you said." Chanup smiled self-deprecatingly. "At present, I only tell this bad news to a very small number of people. These days, I have been discussing with these people what to do."

"However, it has been discussed for several days. As a result, no result has been discussed until now."

"Some people say you have to run for your life, some people say you have to fight to the death, and some people say you should surrender directly."

Speaking of this, Chanup shook his shoulders, and the self-deprecating expression on his face became more intense.

"Kazuto's army. It came so suddenly that we were completely unprepared and didn't even know why Kazuto sent troops against us."

"The reason I heard that the shogunate sent troops to you was that you incited the naturalized Ainu people in Matsumae Castle, and let those naturalized Ainu people start riots." Ogata said.

Chanup laughed softly a few times as if he heard some funny joke.

"Mr. Mashima, do you believe this?"

"To be honest, I don't believe it." Ogata replied without thinking.

The words of the Ainu people in the Red Moon Fortress inciting the naturalized people in Songmae City can probably only deceive those who have never been to the Red Moon Fortress and have no understanding of the Red Moon Fortress.

At the beginning, when Ogata learned from Matsudaira Sadanobu that the shogunate sent troops for such a reason, Ogata had strong doubts about Matsudaira Sadanobu's words.

He has been to the Red Moon Fortress, and he has seen with his own eyes that most of the people in the Red Moon Fortress are not hostile to Heren, and the Red Moon Fortress has no motive to incite the naturalized people in Songqian City at all.

After hearing Ogata's answer without thinking, Chanup's face showed a bit of relief:

"Of course we haven't incited the naturalized people in Matsumae Castle, so what good does it do us?"

"The reason I can think of for the shogunate to send troops to us is probably because they don't like us."

"Our city is located in an excellent location."

"Since a few years ago, after the shogunate discovered this land, it sent people to contact us from time to time, wanting to recruit us and let us give up this new home that we have finally found."

"Of course we will not pay attention to such unreasonable requests, so every time the shogunate sends someone to persuade them to surrender, we refuse once."

"Occupying a place with a good geographical location, and repeatedly refusing Kazuto's surrender, annoyed the shogunate. This is probably the real reason for the shogunate to send troops to us."

Chanup took a deep breath.

"No matter what the real reason for the shogunate to send troops to us is, it doesn't matter anymore"

Chanup stretched out his fingers and squeezed the space between his brows.

Ogata: "You look tired."

"Well, because I've been worrying about what to do these days." Chanup smiled wryly, "I can't even sleep well, to be honest, before you came, I was actually taking a nap just now. When you came, I Just woke up."

Having said that, Chanup took a deep breath.He rearranged his face and turned his wry smile into a smile.

"Mr. Mashima, thank you for coming back to remind me."

Chanup said "thank you" again

then

"Now take your wife and get out of here."

Chanup spoke slowly.

"You and your wife don't need to stay here to accompany us to take risks. Before the army of the shogunate is coming, Mr. Mashima, run away!"

ps: A few days ago, I told everyone that my favorite animal is a bear. As a result, many book friends asked me if I was making metaphors. I didn’t like bears, but Naizi’s n

The author please explain here, the author is not making any metaphors, my favorite animal is indeed a bear,

Since I was a child, I have always felt that fat bears with round ears are very cute, and I have the urge to hug them.

But for the other n, the author also likes it very much.

Chapter 539 The Prologue of the New Legend——Opening! [Explode 1 more! 】

That day was very heavy for the executioner, Yidao Zhai, and for the Ainu people of Heyezhe.

But that day was also the first day the legend began.

In later generations, when a certain swordsman was studying this period of history, he wrote a comment casually

Ogata quietly listened to Chanup's kind suggestion.

Until Chanup finished speaking, Ogata responded slowly and said in a low voice:

"Mr. Chanup, I also had some accidents here, and there may be no way to leave here immediately."

After finishing speaking, a faint helplessness appeared on Ogata's face.

"Accident? What's wrong?" Chanup frowned.

Ogata briefly told Chanup that Ah-cho was injured and unable to move for a short period of time.

"Lie in bed for a month?" Chanup looked surprised.

"That's what the doctor named Kunoya said." Ogata sighed softly.

"Then Mashima-san, what are you going to do next?"

Ogata did not immediately respond to Chanup.

After lowering his head slightly and being silent for a moment, he said in a neutral tone:

"Let's take a step and take a look at it now."

After saying that, Ogata grabbed Da Shitian who was placed on the right side of his body.

"Mr. Chanup, I have finished what I want to tell you."

"My wife is still in Kunoya's clinic, and I want to return to my wife as soon as possible. So I will resign first."

"I'm sorry to trouble you tonight." Chanup gave Ogata another courtesy, "If you need any help in the future, just come to me, and I will do my best to help you and Ling Zheng. .”

Ogata stood up with the knife in hand, bowed back to Chanup, then turned and left without any nostalgia.

Chanup and Tang Shen watched Ogata leave.

After Ogata's figure disappeared from the sight of the two of them, Chanup turned his head and asked Tang Shen beside him in Ainu language:

"I still find it incredible that you and Mashima-san know each other. Tell me later how you met Mashima-san."

"It's okay." Tang Shen sighed lightly, "But I actually only met Mr. Mashima a few times, not very close."

"Do you want to catch up with Mashima-san later or something?"

"If I have the opportunity and time, I'll go again." Tang Shen smiled wryly, "I just said that I don't know Mr. Mashima very well. To put it bluntly, I don't really care how he is. .”

"Let's not talk about Mashima-san. Now that Mashima-san is gone, let's talk about something serious."

Tang Shenlian took several deep breaths, adjusted his face, and put on a serious expression.

"Chanup. The attack of the shogunate army is imminent."

"Don't worry about it any longer."

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking."

"You and I are old acquaintances too."

"I know what you want."

"You want to live and die with He Yezhe, am I right?"

Chanup: ""

Chanup was silent.

Silently holding a bong, he smoked heavily.

"Although I have said similar things many times these days, I still want to tell you again now."

"Stop fantasizing about the absurdity of fighting the shogunate army head-on and then defeating the shogunate army."

"The shogunate dispatched a full [-] troops this time."

"How many of you can take up arms and go to the battlefield? 300? 400?"

"You are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, and you are far inferior to the shogunate army in terms of equipment."

"The shogunate army has solid armor and weapons that are far stronger than yours. They must also have a lot of firearms."

"If you choose to fight head-on with the shogunate army, you will probably only last a few days, and the city will be destroyed."

"Give up unrealistic fantasies. Run away quickly"

"Escape?" Chanup said in a deep voice, "Where can we escape?"

"If Kazuto sent cavalry to chase us, do you think it is possible for us to escape successfully?"

"But the success rate of surviving is always higher than a direct decisive battle with the shogunate army," Tang Shen responded softly.

Chanop: ""

Chanup said nothing more.

just smoking silently

At this time, a loud shout suddenly sounded outside the house:

"Mr Chanup! Are you there?"

"Oh, it's Puccina. I'm here." Chanup took down the bong in his hand, "What's wrong?"

Chanup instantly recognized that it was the voice of Retannoe's only son Puccina, Heyezhe's second-in-command, who often had disagreements with him on various matters.

"My father asked me to pass a message to you!" Puccina shouted, "My father said that he has something to discuss with you, and I hope you can go to the old place as soon as possible."

"Old place" Chanup showed a strange expression, "I see. Puccina, thank you for coming to pass the message."

"That's my job!"

After a few words of modesty, Puccina strode away from Chanup's house.

"Are those people asking you to discuss how to deal with the incoming shogunate army?" Tang Shen asked.

"Other than that, what else could be the reason." Chanup shrugged.

"It seems that those people are also aware of the current situation, and they are already impatient," Tang Shen said lightly.

Chanup sighed lightly, then stood up with the bong that he almost never left his hand.

"Since they told me to go, then I have to go"

"Qianup." Tang Shen looked at Qianup who stood up with complicated eyes, "Hurry up and discard those unrealistic fantasies, abandon Heyezhe and run for your life."

Chanup still did not respond to Tang Shen's words.

After taking a deep look at Tang Shen with eyes that made it difficult to fathom his specific emotions, Chanup strode out of his home with a pipe in his mouth.

When Ogata just walked out of Chanup's house, he saw Aisuma and Otunpuyi who had been ordered by Chanup to temporarily retreat outside the house to avoid it.

"I've finished what I want to say to your father." Ogata, who is not in a good mood now, squeezed a smile at the two people in front of him, "I'm going back to Kunoya's clinic now .”

"Then I'll take you back," Aisuma said.

Ogata shook his head: "No, I already memorized the way when I came here from the clinic."

"I want to be alone now, so I can go back alone."

"Mr. Mashima, do you want to go back alone?" A hint of disappointment appeared on Otunpuyi's face, and he muttered in a low voice, "I wanted to chat with you more when I took you back."

"I've always wanted you to share more about your life with others. Really, why can't I always find a chance to chat with you more?"

Before Otunpuyi could finish his muttering, his sister angrily pressed his elbow on his side, and Otongpuyi, who was suffering from pain, directly gave the remaining words that had not been uttered to him. Swallowed back to the stomach.

"If there is a chance in the future, let's have a good chat." Ogata smiled at Otongpuyi.

After saying goodbye to Asuma and Otunpuyi, Ogata walked alone on the way back to Kunoya's clinic.

Although it is night now, for the Ainu people who still live a life of fishing and hunting, lack of entertainment activities, and lack of nightlife, when night comes, everyone will go back to their homes, prepare to sleep or contribute to the reproduction of the population. .

On the way back to Kunoya's clinic, the pedestrians Ogata met on the road could be counted with one palm.

After returning to the clinic that smelled of medicine, Obi saw A-cho who was still sleeping deeply, and Kunoya who was sitting beside the medicine pot frying medicine, and who was sitting next to A-cho, helping to take care of A-cho Ahili.
