I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

"It's a pity that I still have to travel around now. After a long period of time, I don't have the time to get married."

Speaking of this, a fleeting gloomy color flashed in Azhu's eyes.

"Is your trip so important?" Ogata asked nonchalantly, "It makes you not even think about getting married."

"Yes." A Zhu replied without thinking, "For me now, travel is the most important thing. Other things are small things."

"What exactly are you traveling for?" Ogata asked, "Is it to see the beauty of the world?"

"Well?" Azuki smiled, "Secret"

After 3 days of getting along, Ogata also had a little understanding of Azuki's character.

In a word, no matter what he said or how he behaved, there was a bit of innocence and romance.

To put it simply, she is a little girl with a bit of childishness.

This probably has something to do with her young age.

By the way: In the past 3 days, Ogata asked about Azuki's age.

Azuki's age is exactly in line with what Ogata guessed, and he is just 15 years old this year.

But she is obviously a childish little girl, but she is very shrewd in some aspects.

After learning that the reason why Azhu sold this "luck" at a low price was just to collect travel expenses, Ogata became a little curious about the purpose of Azhu's trip.

Is this child a descendant of the Iga ninja?Or is she just an ordinary commoner's daughter, but she got this "Iga-ryu forbidden technique" through all kinds of mistakes?

Did this kid know that it was the "Iga-ryu Forbidden Art", but he still sold it cheaply?Or does she really not know that this is the "Iga-ryu forbidden technique"?

What is the purpose of selling this martial art cheaply to make up for the travel expenses?

Ogata has actually asked Azuki the reason for his trip more than once, directly or indirectly.By the way, I also asked about Azuki's background several times, wanting to confirm her relationship with Iga.

But it was all fooled by A Zhu.

When asked about the purpose of the trip, Azuki was vague, or just pretended to be stupid.

When asked about her background, she always said that she was the daughter of an ordinary merchant.Apart from emphasizing that she is the daughter of a merchant, she no longer talks about other family matters.

Faced with Azuku's vague attitude towards these questions, Ogata was actually not annoyed, after all, he was just asking out of curiosity.

Until now, Ogata actually still doesn't have much interest in Iga.

Facing Azuki, Ogata's position on her has always been "a possible passer-by in life who will never have any relationship with her or see her again after getting off this stowaway ship".

So even though this passer-by in life never answered his questions directly, Ogata didn't care much.At most, I only feel a little regret that my curiosity has not been satisfied.

"Want to get up for a drink of water?"

"Yeah." Machi nodded slightly.

Seeing that Ding nodded, Ogata supported Ding to sit up, unscrewed the bamboo tube containing clear water, and filled Ding with water little by little.

The moment now is just after noon.

It seems that Azhu really has no other dry food on her body. For the past 3 days, she has been living on the dry food that Ogata gave her in the name of "buying her straw sandals instead of money".

I don't know if it's because of Azhu's lack of appetite, or because she deliberately controlled the consumption of dry food, but after she only ate a small piece of dried fish, she didn't eat anything else, and began to lean against the corner of the wall and fell asleep.

To put it in a nice way, Azhu's sleeping appearance is heroic.

Leaning against the corner of the wall, his head was raised, his mouth was slightly opened, and a drop of crystal clear saliva was about to drip from the corner of his mouth.

Moreover, a low snoring sound could be heard faintly coming from her mouth and nose.

Because Azuki's sleeping appearance was so conspicuous, after drinking the water, Azuki couldn't help but cast a weird look at him.

"It's a shame that the child can fall asleep in such a noisy environment," Ah-Ming said with emotion.

"Yes." After Ogata agreed, he turned his head and looked not far away.

I saw that in the center of the cabin, there were many people surrounded by three circles inside and three circles outside.

In the center of the circle is a warrior with a knife, neatly shaved head, and a prominent birthmark in the center of his head. He is one of the ship's guards.

The "birthmark warrior" is now spouting something while those around him listen attentively.

Because the "Birthmark Samurai" made a loud noise, the whole cabin became a little noisy, so A-Machi sighed that Azuku was able to fall asleep in such a noisy environment.

There are 8 guards on this ship, all of them are warriors with swords on their waists without exception.

From time to time, the eight guards would take turns to come to the cabin to stand guard and patrol to check whether there were stowaways making trouble.

All stowaways, including Ogata, are probably most familiar with this samurai with a birthmark on his head.

Because this "birthmark warrior" is a talker.He loves to tell everyone in the cabin about his previous heroic deeds.

Ogata once listened to several "speeches" of "Birthmark Samurai" out of boredom. This "Birthmark Samurai" used to be a ronin wandering around the Ou area.

And this "birthmark warrior" happened to be a very eloquent person, so many people were willing to come and listen to the "birthmark warrior" tell his story.

At this moment, "Birthmark Warrior" was talking about his heroic past again.

"The swordsmanship I'm studying. The swordsmanship called Tianzhen Feiouliu. I don't know if you have heard of it."

Birthmark Warrior imitated the tone of Mr. Storyteller.

The people who surrounded him and listened showed puzzled faces.

"This is a school of swordsmanship that is only spread in a small area in the Deba area."

"However, just as there are often masters in the humble streets and alleys, there are often schools of swordsmanship that are not well-known, but very powerful."

"It's like the innocent flying gull flow I'm studying."

"The reason why it is named the innocent flying gull flow is because there is a secret sword gull cut created by the movement of seagulls hunting on the sea!"

"Like a seagull preying on prey, quickly chop down the sword and kill the enemy with one blow!"

"Because it is a secret sword, according to the regulations of the division, only those who have obtained the permission of the catalog can learn this move."

Speaking of this, the birthmark warrior showed complacency.Then he stretched out his right thumb and compared it to himself.

"And I was very fortunate to obtain the catalog permission of the sect through hard work, and obtained the qualification to learn this trick."

Exclamations and exclamations sounded from the surrounding bystanders.

"Then can you demonstrate it to us? This secret sword move of your sect?" a young man boldly asked.

As soon as the young man said a word, the rest of the people cast their curious eyes on the birthmark warrior.

Maybe it's because everyone's eyes made the birthmark warrior a little bit flustered.After hesitating for a while, the birthmark warrior cleared his throat:

"This is the master's unique skill. Generally speaking, it cannot be shown to outsiders casually."

"But since you want to see it so much, let me demonstrate it to you."

After all, the birthmark warrior pulled out the saber from his waist, and then raised the saber in his palm high in a slightly strange posture.

Because the birthmark samurai's voice was so loud that Ogata couldn't help but hear it.

After hearing that the birthmark samurai was about to demonstrate his so-called sect's secret sword, either Ogata or Atachi couldn't help being a little interested, and turned to look at the birthmark samurai.

After the birthmark warrior raised his saber high in a strange posture, he continued to take deep breaths and gather his strength. After accumulating enough strength, he slashed the saber heavily towards the air in front of him.

His memorization chop, in terms of imposing manner, is indeed very powerful, causing the audience who don't know how to do it to show shock and praise.

As for those who know

"Heh" Ogata showed an expression of "That's it?", then shook his head slightly.

The birthmark samurai didn't notice that Ogata, who was showing the expression "That's it?", had put his saber back into its sheath, and was now immersed in the shocked and admiring gazes from the people around him.

But right now

"Is this the secret sword of your so-called innocent Flying Ou faction? If such flashy moves with no actual combat value can be used as a secret sword, then your innocent Flying Ou faction is probably not a school of swords worth mentioning gone."

A cold voice sounded.

As soon as the voice sounded, all the awake people in the audience, including Ogata, were shocked.

Everyone focused their eyes on the owner of the voice, an extremely handsome boy.

This beautiful boy was sitting far away from Ogata.

His looks reminded Ogata that Asai was the kind of handsome young man who would not be surprised if he told Ogata that there were many men who favored all other ways to take care of them.

Like Ogata, Tsukidai's head was not shaved, but the whole hair was kept, but instead of being tied into a bun like Ogata, the hair was tied into a high ponytail at the back of the head.

I feel younger than Ogata, about 17 or 8 years old.

Sitting cross-legged next to this beautiful boy is an old man in his 60s. This old man is constantly pulling at the sleeve of the beautiful boy and whispering something to the beautiful boy, but the beautiful boy has always remained unmoved. look like.

Undoubtedly, what the beautiful boy said just now changed the face of the birthmark warrior.

"Hey, what did you just say?" The birthmark warrior strode towards the beautiful boy with a gloomy face.

"I just said that your so-called secret sword just now is just a flashy trick. If you use this flashy trick as a so-called secret sword, your naive flying gull style must not be a very advanced swordsmanship genre." The beautiful boy roughly repeated what he just said without showing any weakness.

The expression of the birthmark samurai is now very exciting, and the whole face has turned into a liver color.

At this time, the beautiful boy went on to say:

"The so-called gull cut you just did, the sword posture is flashy, and the attack you launch is empty. This kind of move has no actual combat value at all. It can only be used for show, to fool ordinary people who don't know swordsmanship."

"If you use this move of yours to fight against a real master of swordsmanship, I'm afraid you will be chopped off before you even have time to put on your flashy sword-raising stance."

Hearing the beautiful boy accurately describe the flaws of the birthmark warrior's so-called secret sword just now, Ogata couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and then looked at the beautiful boy carefully.

"Oh..." At this time, the beautiful boy sighed, "The so-called secret swords and absolute swords are really harmful to people. Their popularity is one of the important reasons for the decline of the current swordsmanship."

What the beautiful boy said just now was like a needle piercing into the birthmark warrior's heart.

The angry samurai opened and closed his mouth, as if thinking of words to argue with the beautiful boy.

But in the end, the birthmark warrior chose to put his hand on the saber at his waist.

"You bastard! Just a commoner, do you know what swordsmanship is? How dare you insult a warrior with wild words! Watch me slash you!"

The behavior of the birthmark warrior, who was about to draw his sword, scared many people around him.

Many people stood between the birthmark warrior and the beautiful boy, preventing the birthmark warrior from drawing his sword, and advised the birthmark warrior to calm down.

And Ogata also frowned at this time, ready to step forward to stop if any accident happened.

As for Azhu, she was awakened by the noisy movement, wiping the saliva from the corner of her mouth, and looking around blankly.

As for the beautiful young man who was the master of this incident, he still knelt silently and sat there, looking unmoved by the birthmark samurai who was about to draw his sword to kill him.

Perhaps it was because he gradually calmed down, the complexion of the birthmark warrior gradually improved.

After glaring at the beautiful young man with hatred, he gritted his teeth: "Boy, you have saved your life. If it wasn't for the boss's rule that you can't use weapons on this ship, otherwise I would kill you right now!" you."

After all, perhaps because he was not in the mood to stay here anymore, the birthmark warrior flicked his sleeves and strode out of the cabin.

With the departure of the birthmark warrior, the tense atmosphere in the cabin immediately dissipated.

Seeing that the incident ended peacefully, Ogata's brows slowly relaxed.

The audience who had been listening to the birthmark warrior's story either looked at each other in blank dismay, or cast strange glances at the beautiful boy, and then dispersed one by one.

As for Azhu, seeing that the matter seemed to be over, she leaned her head back again and fell asleep again, with saliva dripping from the corner of her mouth again.

"I almost thought there was going to be a fight," Ah-cho muttered.

"Me too." Ogata answered, "Fortunately, the matter was resolved peacefully. Okay, let's continue with our business? Would you like to sleep for a while?"

Ogata only took what happened just now as a small episode, and didn't pay any attention to it.

But at this moment, Ogata suddenly heard footsteps behind him, as well as a friendly greeting.

"Gui'an, one step."

Ogata raised his eyebrows and turned his head to look back.

The person who was walking towards him from behind him and saying hello to him was the beautiful boy who almost caused a big incident just now.

And the beautiful boy was following the old man who had been sitting next to him just now.

Compared with the goodwill on the handsome young man's face, the old man's face was slightly helpless.

After the beautiful boy knelt and sat beside Ogata very familiarly, Ogata asked calmly, "Is there something wrong?"

The beautiful boy smiled slightly, then lowered his voice: "Is your step a samurai?"

Before Ogata could say anything, the beautiful boy continued:
