I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Chanup made a few self-deprecating laughs: "So it's no wonder you have been trying to persuade me to escape these days. You never persuaded me to have a decisive battle with the people outside the city. If you advise you to leave quickly, you will not leave."

"In this way, I feel a little guilty because I have made you miss the best time to escape now."

"Put mine aside in advance, I have my own plan." After finishing speaking, Tang Shen sighed heavily, "Why do you choose this kind of path that is close to ten deaths and no life?"

Before Chanup officially conveyed his belief of "defending the homeland to the death" to Heyezhe's people, Chanup informed Tang God of his determination in advance.

After learning what Chanup was going to do, Tang Shen persuaded Chanup not to do stupid things without thinking.

Of course, in the face of Tang Shen's persuasion, Chanup naturally remained unmoved until the end.

"God Tang. You haven't experienced our southward migration 10 years ago." Chanup said softly, "You can't understand our feelings for the land under our feet."

"Ah..." Tang Shen was silent for a while, and then let out a long breath.

With this long sigh, Tang Shen's face became haggard.

"Forget it, this is the end, no matter what I say, it should be useless."

"God Tang, what are you going to do next?" Qianup asked, "Thousands of troops outside the city have already blocked the entrance and exit of our Heyezhe. How do you plan to leave here?"

"You don't need to worry about my affairs." Tang Shen replied in a somewhat impatient tone, "I will find a way to save my life."

Chanup: ""

"Why?" Tang Shen glared at Chanup, "Why are you looking at me like this?"

"God Tang." Qianup slowly sat up straight while speaking, "After reuniting with you after a long absence, I have something that I have always wanted to tell you."

"Words? What words?"

Chanup slowly turned his gaze to the thick and long crutch on the right side of Tang Shen's body.

"I didn't expect that so many years have passed." Chanup said softly, "You still carry this crutch I made for you with you."

Tang Shen's pupils shrank slightly.

"God Soup."

Chanup softly called God Tang's name, while reaching out to pick up the crutch beside God Tang.

For Chanup's behavior of reaching for his crutch, Tang Shen did not do anything to hinder him.

"God Tang, don't leave here. Can you help me like before?"

Click.

With a "click" sound, the head of Tang Shen's crutch was twisted away.

After removing the unscrewed head of the cane, the inside of the cane is fully exposed, and the inside of the cane is hollowed out.

Inside the cane was a knife.

When Chanup took off the head of the crutch, the handle of the knife happened to be exposed.

Chanup grabbed the handle of the knife, and slowly pulled the knife with its sheath out of the crutch.

This is a whole body white knife.

The hilt, blade, and scabbard are all beautiful snow white.

The firelight from the oil lamp shone on the scabbard, and reflected a dazzling white light.

This is also a strangely shaped knife.

The blade is the blade of the sword.

Its handle, however, was not the handle of a katana sword wrapped in fish skin and wrapped around a non-slip handle.

The style of its hilt is more like Tang Tu's Tang sword.The bottom of the hilt is also tied with a slender snow-white sword tassel.

Chanup held the scabbard of the knife, pointed the hilt at Tang Shen who was looking at the knife in Chanup's hand with complicated eyes.

"Stay here and help me."

"With your help, I will have the power of a thousand people!"

Chanup's tone rose.

"It's like you helped me avenge my father's death."

"Just use your Japanese sword!"

"Your skill must not have been abandoned. Am I right? Tang God"

Just as Chanup was about to say the name "God of Soup", he suddenly paused.

After pausing for a moment, Chanup put on an extremely serious expression, and changed his words word by word:

"It shouldn't be Shendu's unclean fast."

"Unclean fasting! Draw your sword!"

"Please help me again!"

Tang Shen crossed his arms and looked quietly at Chanup who was looking at him with fiery eyes.

"Shendu unclean fasting" Tang Shen let out a low chuckle.

There was a hint of self-deprecation in the laughter.

"It's such a long-lost name. I can't remember the last time I heard someone call me that."

After finishing speaking, Tang Shen raised his hands and held the knife in Chanup's hand.

After gently stroking the scabbard a few times as if caressing some soft silk, Tang Shen slowly put the Japanese sword in his hand to his side.

Looking at Tang Shen's actions, a faint look of disappointment appeared in Chanup's eyes.

Facing Qianup's disappointed gaze, Tang Shen said softly:

"Sorry, I'm sorry."

"What you just said was wrong."

"I have been relying on the hunting skills you taught me all these years, hunting all kinds of small animals, and selling them to various merchants for a living. I have been a pet merchant for so many years, and I am completely unfamiliar with how to swing a knife. What's more I'm still old."

"Forgive me now for some harsh words."

"I still want to live."

"I don't want to stay here, and follow you to fight a battle with little chance of winning, and to die together."

Tang Shen's refusal was straightforward and straightforward.

Chanup, who had a complex look on his face, looked at Tang Shen for a while, and then sighed heavily.

"I know, since you have said so, then I will not force you"

"I will find a way to get out of here on my own." Tang Shen grabbed the Japanese sword again, then stuffed the Japanese sword back into the crutch, and then stood up from the ground.

"Where are you going?" Chanup asked.

"I'm going to feed my sled dogs." Tang Shen replied, "Go and go back."

After speaking, Tang Shen grabbed his crutch and strode away from Chanup's house.

Chanup kept watching Tang Shen leave his home before turning his gaze back.

Silently, he took out his bag containing tobacco, took out a roll of tobacco from the bag, stuffed it into his bong, took the oil lamp next to him, and lit the cigarette.

Chanup just smoked.

Smoking a cigarette that has no taste for some reason.

Before Chanup had time to take a few sips, the voice he had been waiting for since he came home finally sounded outside the house:

"Mr Chanup, it's me."

Chanup quickly took down the bong in his mouth: "Mr. Mashima, come in!"

After Chanup's words fell, Xufang took his knife, opened the curtain, and entered Chanup's house.

"I also listened to your generous statement just now under the high platform." Ogata said to Chanup in a tone of admiration as he knelt in front of Chanup. , "After listening to your impassioned statement, and seeing the reactions of others, I am stunned."

"Thank you for the compliment." Chanup said modestly, "In Tangtu on the other side of the sea, there is a saying that is to do what you know you can't do."

"The friend I just mentioned on the high platform who used to sneak away to live with Matsumae Fan when I was young, once explained to me that when doing things, don't ask if you can do it, but if you should."

"I just practiced this sentence and did what I should do."

"You still understand this famous saying of Tang Tu?" Ogata's eyes flashed with surprise.

"I only know a few words." Chanup smiled wryly and shook his head.

After the words fell, Chanup raised his eyes and looked at Ogata's face in front of him.

"Mr. Mashima, I feel guilty as soon as I see your face." Apologetic expressions appeared on Chanup's face, "The war between us and Kazuto has affected you and your wife."

Ogata shook his head slightly: "Mr. Chanup, you don't have to apologize to me for this kind of thing."

"I stayed here to treat my wife's injuries."

"I jumped into this vortex on my own initiative."

"I don't regret doing it for my wife either."

"Instead of watching my wife who failed to receive professional treatment die from injuries afterwards, I would rather face the thunder above the nine heavens."

"I was also mentally prepared to be affected by the war early on."

"Mr Chanup, our goal, now is unity."

"You want to protect your homeland."

"And I also want to protect my wife who has not been able to move freely."

"Therefore, our goal is the same to drive away the wolves outside the city."

"So Mr Chanup."

With a serious face, Ogata said word by word:

"Let's make an alliance."

"Work together to drive away the Heren army outside the city."

As soon as Ogata finished speaking, Chanup's face was filled with surprise.

"Mr. Mashima, are you willing to assist us?"

Ogata nodded, then took out a map from his pocket and spread it between him and Chanup.

"Mr. Chanup, I happen to have a plan right now that will greatly improve our chances of winning."

"I have a friend who is in this place right now."

Ogata pointed to a place marked with a special symbol on the map.

"My friend is a Lucian. He has dozens of well-tested and elite cavalry under his command."

"I'm going to ask my friend to help us!"

Ogata didn't talk any extra nonsense, and succinctly informed Chanup of his plan.

"Ask that friend of yours to help?" Chanup frowned immediately.

At this moment, a lot of questions emerged from Chanup's mind one by one.

And Chanup also asked his questions one by one.

"Mr. Mashima, you said that you want to ask your friend to help you. How are you going to meet your friend? Now the only entrance and exit of our Heyezhe has been blocked by thousands of troops. It is impossible to go out. I don't have to go out."

"I know." Ogata said in a deep voice, "So I will try to forcefully break through the blockade of the army outside the city."

"Break through the blockade of the army outside the city?" Chanup's eyes widened instantly, "Mr. Mashima, I know your sword skills are not ordinary, but no matter how superb your sword skills are, it is impossible to break through the blockade of thousands of troops Bar?"

"Aside from breaking through the blockade of the army outside the city, there is no other way to leave here." Ogata smiled wryly, "It seems difficult at first glance, but it is not impossible at all. The army is fighting head-on, just breaking through their blockade."

"So I don't need to defeat all these thousands of generals, I just need to defeat the people in front of me, but the speed must be fast, so I have to break through on horseback."

"Even if you say that, you plan to break through the blockade of the army outside the city alone without help, it is really crazy." Chanup shook his head.

Chanup just shook his head a few times when his shaking head stopped suddenly.

At just a moment ago, something slowly condensed and formed in Chanup's mind.

This thing is a Japanese sword with a snow-white body.
