I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

"His waist wears a beautiful sword with a purple handle."

Seeing that the Kinoshita in Chanup's mouth did not match the two Kinoshita in his impression, Ogata's original frown slowly relaxed, but the confusion on his face did not dissipate. For that Kinoshita Ogata was also puzzled by the behavior of making such a blood loss transaction.

……

……

Edo, a remote house, in the courtyard

"Mamiya! I'm going!" Mucun raised the wooden Odachi high in his palm, posing in the posture of a big upper section.

"Senior Mamiya, please give me your advice." Shimada, holding the wooden knife tightly, put on a well-behaved mid-section posture.

As for Asai, he didn't say much, he just grabbed and held the knife silently.

Connect the points where Mucun, Shimada, and Asai stand together with a line, which can just form a standard equilateral triangle.

And in the middle of this equilateral triangle stood Gamiya who was slowly tying up the sleeves on both sides with cuffs.

After tying up the sleeves on both sides at an unhurried pace, Gamiya picked up the wooden knife placed at his feet: "Let the horse come here."

As soon as Jiangong finished speaking, Mucun took the lead in letting out a resounding Qihe, and rushed towards Jiangong with a knife in hand.

He aimed at Gamiya's head and made three powerful downward strikes, but all of them were dodged by Gamiya with light steps.

As soon as Mamiya dodged Mucun's slash, the swords of Asai and Shimada came with the wind.

Both of them slashed from very tricky angles, but their slashes from this tricky angle were still powerless against Gamiya.

I saw that Mamiya swung two extremely fast swords. Obviously there was only one sword, but because of the high-speed swing of the sword, the effect of "Mamiya holding two swords" was created. Asai and Shimada's swords were killed almost at the same time. The blade of the palace cuts and blocks.

After parrying Shimada's sword, Mamiya quickly adjusted the blade, aiming at Shimada's left shoulder.

"Ahhh!" Shimada, suffering from pain, subconsciously took a few steps back, and then fell to the ground.

After killing Shimada with one blow, Mamiya's feet slid on the ground, dodging to Asai's side at a speed that Asai couldn't react to, and then slashed at Asai's shoulder just like the one blow that knocked down Shimada just now. Asai fell to the ground.

Next, Mucun, who could only fight alone, did not have the slightest intention of retreating or surrendering. He stepped forward bravely, preparing to attack Gamiya again.

And he only had time to step forward.

He just took a step forward when he saw Jian Gong approaching him.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

The dull sound of knocking on the flesh sounded.

Jian Gong pointed at Mu Cun's sturdy upper body and slashed three times in a row, two on Mu Cun's left shoulder and one on his right shoulder.

"Hmm..." Mucun resisted the pain, and took three steps back to increase the distance between himself and the palace.

"Are you still coming?" Jiangong asked Mucun.

"No need..." Mu Cun let out a long sigh, "I have died three times just now, and the winner has already been decided."

"Senior Mamiya is so strong..." Shimada covered the place where he was stabbed just now, and stood up with a wry smile, "The three of us went up together, but we still couldn't even touch a piece of Senior Mamiya's clothes... "

Regarding Shimada's compliment, Mamiya just smiled, then raised his hand to help his glasses that were slipping down the bridge of his nose: "Let's take a break. We've competed a lot just now, and I'm a little tired. It's time to take a break, too."

"Gamiya's biggest weakness is indeed lack of physical strength." Mucun teased Xia Jiangong in a half-joking tone, and took the lead in striding towards the eaves not far away, and then sat down on the stairs under the eaves Go up, and the three of Jiangong followed closely behind, sitting side by side with Mucun.

"We've been here in Edo for a long time..." Mucun looked up at a big tree with delicate green leaves growing ahead, "Before you know it, winter will be over."

After bidding farewell to Ogata and Atachi and leaving Edo, Huluya and his team moved to a new home in Edo, a luxury house rented by Lin using her network.Continue to recuperate with peace of mind in this luxurious home.

Except for Mucun, who has a special physique of "quick recovery from injuries", Lin and the others are ordinary people, unlike Ogata who has an extremely abnormal recovery ability due to "vitality".

Except for Genichi and Mamiya who were basically uninjured, everyone else was injured, and Lin and Asai's injuries were not serious.

In the past few months, Lin and the others have been living in seclusion in this house, concentrating on recuperating.

About a month ago, the whole group of Huluwu finally recovered, and then began the "rehabilitation" of their bodies.

And their "rehabilitation" is quite simple and rude, which is to fight each other.

The house that Lin rented was the kind of mansion with its own spacious courtyard, where Lin and the others fought each other.

"I'm getting tired of staying in Edo..." Asai interjected, "Although there are many interesting, beautiful and delicious places in Edo, I'm getting bored after staying here for several months... "

"We should be able to leave soon." Mucun said, "After all, our injuries have healed, and there is no reason to stay in Edo any longer."

Shimada: "Are we going back to Owari later?"

"I don't know." Mucun shrugged, "But if there are no accidents, we should go back to our base camp. After all, we haven't gone back for a long time."

"Speaking of Owari..." Asai suddenly muttered at this moment, "Have you heard about that incident? It seems that the disappearance incident is quite popular now."

"The disappearance incident?" Mucun asked back, "What happened?"

Not only Makimura, Mamiya and Shimada also cast doubtful eyes on Asai at this time.

"This is what I heard from the samurai at the next table when I went to a nearby izakaya to drink with Genichi late last night." Asai said slowly, "It is said that this large area from Owari to Osaka , there have been frequent disappearances during this period."

"According to the descriptions of those warriors, this disappearance is quite paradoxical. It seems that at least a hundred people have suddenly disappeared without a trace."

"Among the hundreds of missing people, there are men and women, old and young. The characteristics of the missing people are irregular. And among the missing people, there are also some warriors."

"Hundreds of people...?" Mucun frowned slowly, "It can't be a coincidence that so many people disappeared, there must be some powerful group abducting these people. Did the shogunate intervene in the investigation? "

Asai shrugged: "I don't know about that."

Shimada seemed completely hooked by this "disappearance".He turned his head and looked at Mucun: "Senior Mucun, do you think there is some big group abducting those people?"

Mucun used to make a living by solving cases in Kyoto, so Shimada subconsciously wanted to ask Mucun, who should have some experience in this area, his opinion on this matter.

"Of course." Mu Cun said solemnly, "I never believe in hidden gods, and being abducted by gods and Buddhas is pure nonsense."

"I can't think of any other possibility for the disappearance of hundreds of people other than being abducted."

"According to Asai's description just now, there are frequent disappearances in the large area from Owari to Osaka."

"The range from Owari to Osaka is not small. It covers the entire Kansai."

"Being able to abduct people all over the vast Kansai shows that this abduction group is not small."

"But there's one thing I don't quite understand."

After musing for a moment, Mucun continued:

"Asai said just now: The missing persons include men and women, old and young. I don't understand this point."

"I used to deal with several cases of human trafficking when I was working in Kyoto."

"The abducted objects are basically children and young girls."

"It's quite rare to abduct men and old people. What do you do with abducted men and old people?"

"The disappearance incident..." Mamiya, who had been silent since just now, suddenly said, "Even Owari is within the scope of the victim... The world is really not peaceful."

At this moment, a female voice that was all too familiar to Jian Gong and the others suddenly came from behind the crowd.

"Katsurokuro, so you are here, so I found you."

Shimada turned around following the sound, with a surprised expression on his face, "Master, do you need to find me?"

The owner of this female voice, which is very familiar to Jian Gong and others, is naturally Lin.

"Well. It is true that I need to find you, but it is not an important matter."

Lin continued to walk slowly towards Shimada while talking.

"I just received the news that the temple shrine is enforcing Ginjimono conscripts: Shimada Soichiro returned to Edo a few days ago."

After hearing the name "Soichiro Shimada" from Lin's mouth, Shimada's expression froze.

"Shengrokuro." Lin's tone softened, "You must have been away from home for a long time. It's time to visit your family."

Serialization of the final volume begins!

In order to celebrate the serialization of the final volume, I also tried my best to write a large chapter of nearly 7000 words.

In order to celebrate the start of the serialization of the final volume together, let's vote monthly!This book is currently ranked 13th in the monthly ticket list in the light novel area. If possible, I would like to break into the top 10.

Chapter 575 Yi Dao Zhai - Embark on a journey again [6100 words]

"Hahaha"

It wasn't until Lin's voice fell for a while that Shimada laughed a few times.

"Is my father back?"

Shimada raised his hand to grab his hair, his expression full of tangles.

"I'm going to leave Edo in a while and return to Owari's base camp." Lin continued, "Before we leave Edo, go and meet your father."

"Huh?" Mu Cun interjected at this moment, "Master, are we going back?"

"Well. After all, we have no reason to stay in Edo anymore. We will return to Owari in a few days. But the specific time and method of returning are to be determined."

After that, Lin turned her gaze back to Shimada in front of her again.

"Is this an order to go home and see my father?" Shimada asked.

Lin shook her head: "Although you are my subordinates in name, I don't want to get too involved in your private life."

"I just suggest you go home and have a look. It's up to you to decide whether you want to go home or not."

"I see." Shimada said softly, "I will think about it carefully."

"Hmm. You should think about it carefully." After finishing speaking, Lin turned her head to look at Jian Gong and the others, "I seem to have heard you guys chatting enthusiastically just now, what are you chatting about?"

"We are discussing the disappearance that seems to be very popular recently." Mamiya replied honestly.

"The disappearance? What's that?"

Mamiya and others briefly explained to Lin the general content of the incident.

"There is a large-scale disappearance of people in the Kansai area." Lin frowned, "It seems that there is a rampant human trafficker group in the Kansai area now."

"I think so too." Mucun answered, "So many people are missing, there must be some kind of group that is organizing human trafficking. But I really can't understand that they even kidnapped men and the elderly."

"If you can't understand, then don't get too entangled." Lin is not very interested in this "disappearance incident". Let’s leave this matter to the shogunate to slowly investigate and deal with it.”

"It's almost time for lunch. I'm going to cook. In about half an hour, you can wash your hands and eat."

After finishing speaking, Lin turned around gracefully, walked quickly to the kitchen with her hands behind her back.

Cooking is one of Lin's few hobbies, and Lin arranges three meals a day for Li Jiangong and others on weekdays.

After Lin's injury was good enough to cook, she resumed her old profession of "cook".

After watching Lin leave, Mamiya raised his hand and patted Shimada's shoulder: "I think my lord is right. You have been away from home for a long time. Since your father has returned to Edo, then go home and have a look." Him."

"Let me think about it." Shimada smiled wryly, "Senior Mamiya, as you all know, my relationship with my father is not very good."

Shimada let out a long sigh.

"I thought he would stay in Osaka until the winter was completely over, but I didn't expect him to come back so soon."

"Shimada, if you decide to go home later and want to find someone to accompany you, I welcome you to come to me." Mucun smiled, stretched out his right thumb, and compared to himself, "I really want to Meet your father."

"You want to meet Shimada's father?" Asai asked, "Why?"

"No reason, I just want to see what the acclaimed Shimada Soichiro looks like."

"The Kansai area, centered on Kyoto and Osaka, has many temples and shrines, so it has always been the main work area for temple officials and officials under their command."

Mucun said slowly.

"When I was still working in Kyoto as Yori, I heard that Shimada's father, Terasha, practiced Ginjimono convoy: Shimada Soichiro's daimyo."

"I heard that he is a man of outstanding talent. He handles the complicated management of temples and shrines in an orderly manner."

"Shimada Soichiro once came to Kyoto to attend some kind of banquet with a bunch of high-ranking officials. I also attended that banquet. Unfortunately, because of my low rank, Shimada Soichiro and Shimada Soichiro were separated by hundreds of thousands of miles. I can't see what Soichiro Shimada looks like."

The temple is one of the largest officials in the shogunate.Responsible for the management of temples, shrines and their territories across the country and the formulation of religious policies. It is also responsible for the investigation of lawsuits and criminal cases within the jurisdiction of temples and temple territories.Because the official position is extremely high, it is generally held by the genealogy daimyo.

And the mobilization of yin flavors in temples can be understood as the right-hand man of temples, assisting in handling various tasks in charge of temples.It is also a very high-ranking official. Compared with the capital and power that Mucun once served as, it is a stark difference.

"Ah, I remembered." Mamiya suddenly said at this moment, "At the beginning, when Shimada first joined our Calabash House, Mucun jumped up when he learned that Shimada was the son of that Shimada Soichiro Get caught."

"Ah." Asai said, "When you said that, I remembered, it seems that there is indeed such a thing."

"Makimura-senpai, if you want to accompany me, I have no objection." Shimada showed a tired smile as if he was exhausted, "But this will have to wait until I decide whether to go back and see my father."

"To be honest, I don't really want to go back and see my father."

Right now
