I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

"That is to say... I have to become a vagrant, wandering the world..."

Not only did there not appear any strange look, but a smile appeared on Ogata's face.

"Be a ronin and be a ronin."

"It's good to be a ronin. You don't have to do the boring job of a treasury officer anymore."

"My lord, let me ask again now that Matsudaira Gennai is dead, what will happen to Hirose Fan in the future?"

"Right now, the General is busy working with the senior middleman on the reform of the shogunate administration." Cang Yong said softly, "I'm in a very busy state. I don't have time to devote too much energy to things other than reform."

"In addition, the Tianming famine has just passed, and the world finally regained some stability. In order to continue to maintain this rare stability, the shogunate has deliberately reduced the number of ronin over the years."

"In the past, if the lord was killed, the domain would often be dismantled, and all the retainers in the domain would certainly not be able to escape the punishment of being demoted as ronin."

"And now the shogunate is focusing on the reform of the shogunate, and in order to maintain the stability of the world, it is no longer possible to directly withdraw our Hirose clan as before."

"So the Hirose clan will definitely be kept by the shogunate, and nothing will happen to the innocent retainers in the clan."

"My lord, he has a cousin. The shogunate should make the lord's cousin the new daimyo of Hirose."

"My lord's cousin is a respectful and polite person. If he becomes the new daimyo of the Hirose clan, the Hirose clan might usher in a brand new atmosphere."

After quietly listening to Cang Yong's words, Ogata said with emotion:

"Won't it hurt the innocent...that's good..."

Speaking of this, Ogata suddenly paused.

After a long pause, Ogata continued:

"My lord... I have a heartless request."

"Please say."

"I have 2 friends in the Hirose domain, and they run an izakaya."

"I worked as a guard at that izakaya for a while."

"After I left the Hirose domain and the shogunate sent people to investigate, I was worried that my two friends would be embarrassed by the shogunate because of my friendship."

"And I have a lot of grudges with some people in the Ishikawa Sword Gym."

"After I leave the Hirose Domain, I am worried that those guys will take advantage of my absence and pour their hatred and anger on my two friends."

"So can you help me think of a way to protect my two friends?"

Hearing Ogata's request, Kuranaga was silent for a while, then said:

"No problem. I'll go ask some friends in the Fanfu later."

"These friends of mine are all holding high positions in the domain."

"I asked them to take care of the izakaya you mentioned."

"Although the people in the shogunate are basically arrogant, they don't even give face to some high-ranking officials in the domain."

"In order to save face for my friends, although the people in the shogunate will definitely ask your two friends for questioning, they will not be too rude to your two friends."

"Because of the face of my friends, they may be extremely polite."

"At the same time, with the care of my friends, you don't have to worry about people from the Ishikawa Sword Gym going to trouble your two friends."

"Among those few friends of mine, there happened to be one who was in charge of all affairs and concentricity in the feudal domain."

"I ask him to set up a Tsujiban in front of your friend's izakaya, so that the people of Ishikawa Kenkan will not dare to trouble your two friends again."

"Thank you so much." Ogata Asakura Yong showed a grateful smile.

However, the grateful smile on Ogata's face didn't last long, and he withdrew it again.

Ogata put away his smile and looked at Cang Yong seriously, then said seriously:

"My lord, there is one more thing, I hope you can promise me."

"Please say."

Ogata's serious appearance made Cang Yong unable to help becoming serious along with him, sitting upright, waiting for Ogata's next words.

"When my injury is so good that I can move freely... please give me enough clothes, two good knives and clothes."

"I don't want to go wandering in rags."

Hearing Ogata's words in a joking tone, Cang Yong was slightly taken aback.

Then he laughed heartily a few times.

"Okay! No problem! I will try my best to get the best knife and clothes for you!"

One month later

Hirose Domain, Ruya

"Ah Fu! Go and clean up the dishes and chopsticks of the guests at the table just now!"

"it is good!"

"Ah...it's so busy today, Ah Fu, we both have to work harder today!"

"Ok!"

Although it is daytime, the business of Liuwu is surprisingly good today.

On weekdays, the flow house basically only has more guests at night, but today it is very rare that there are quite a lot of guests during the day.

Although the distance was a bit far, Ogata could still barely hear the voices of Azaki and Afu.

At this time, Ogata was hiding under a big tree not far from the flow house, under the cover of the tree trunk, silently watching the flow of people in the distance.

"Ogata-kun."

Kuranaga, who was standing behind Ogata, asked Ogata.

"Are you really not going in to see those two? If you don't take advantage of this opportunity to go in... Maybe you won't have a chance to come back to see them two in the future."

"...No need."

The corners of Ogata's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.

"After meeting the two of them, the two of them will definitely pester me, asking me what I have been doing all this time, and then asking me where I am going next."

"I'm not good at dealing with this kind of sad atmosphere."

"And...my current status is not suitable for contacting the two of them again."

"I'm going to see them now, maybe I will cause them trouble."

Ogata raised his hand and pressed the hat on his head.

"...Master, let's go."

After all, Ogata turned around first, and walked away from under the big tree not far from the house without any hesitation or hesitation.

Cang Yong looked at Ogata who had turned away and was unwilling to enter the Ruiya, sighed softly, and then led the flying monkey to follow.

Chapter 114

Today is the day when Ogata decides to leave Hirose Domain.

Although some injuries on his body have not completely healed, according to Xuan An, these injuries that have not completely healed are no longer a hindrance, and will not affect Ogata's activities, nor will it affect Ogata's swinging sword.

Now that Xuan'an has already said so, Ooyo simply decided to end this long recuperating life and leave Hirose Clan.

As if God was also helping Ogata, today is a very comfortable sunny day.

Although the sun hangs high in the sky, it doesn't make people feel stuffy at all.

There will be a breeze blowing from time to time, which is very comfortable.

This kind of weather is perfect for going out for a long trip.

Cang Yong offered to see Ogata off.

Regarding Cang Yong's request to see him off, Ogata didn't make too much pretense, and very readily agreed to let Cang Yong send him off for a while.

Although he decided to leave Hirose Clan today, Ogata was not in a hurry to leave.

Instead, he took a detour first to take a look at the flowing house that he hadn't been to for a long time.

After confirming that the lives of Azaki and Afu are very stable now, Ogata dared to leave Hirose Fan with peace of mind.

"Ogata-kun."

Kuranaga, who was half a step behind Ogata, suddenly asked Ogata.

"Are you... really planning to wear this suit? Don't you plan to change to other clothes?"

At this time, Ogata was wearing a black hakama, a dark blue kimono, and a light green haori.

He wore black tabi socks and stared at straw sandals.

Wearing a hat on his head.

From the handle and scabbard, it is not difficult to see the expensive sword and wakizasa from the left waist.

Be it the bamboo hats, knives, or clothes, all of them are extremely brand new, and one can tell that they are new items purchased only recently.

Ogata looked down at his current clothes.

"My lord, is there anything wrong with my clothes?"

"Your hakama and Wufu are fine, but the main problem is... your haori."

Cang Yong raised his finger and pointed to the light green haori on Ou Fang's body.

"Ogata-kun, are you really not going to change into a new haori?"

"Oh, Haori."

Ogata touched the light green haori with wide sleeves on his body.

"No need, my lord. I like this haori very much, so I have no plans to change it."

Ogata understood Kuranaga's move to ask him if he wanted to change his haori.

Light onion was a pretty earthy color in this day and age.

The most popular colors are dark colors like black.

Going out in light onions is like announcing to the world that you are a country bumpkin.

But Ogata didn't care about that.

Light onion is his favorite color.

Even though this color is very old-fashioned in the eyes of people of this era, Ogata has no intention of changing clothes to another color.

"...Forget it." Cang Yong sighed softly, "What color to wear is your freedom, Ogata-kun, and it is inconvenient for me to say anything more."

"My lord." Ogata said suddenly, "Accompany me on a long detour, let's go somewhere."

"No problem." Cang Yong said happily, "You can go wherever you want now, and I will accompany you to the end. Anyway, I have a lot of time now."

"Grateful."

Ogata led Kuranaga and Feilu to turn left and right in the town.

Soon, he arrived at his destination Xuanzhen Temple.

To be precise, it is the cemetery behind Xuanzhen Temple.

After leading Cangnanaga into the cemetery behind Xuanzhen Temple, Owen went straight to the tombs of his master Hanbei and his brothers.

He wanted to see his master and brothers one last time before leaving Hirose Fan.

In addition to seeing the master and the brothers, Ogata also took a look at Ichiro and the others.

In the cemetery, there are 6 new tombstones that can be seen at a glance.

These six tombs are the tombs of Ichiro and the others.

After the successful assassination of Matsudaira Gennai, Kuranaga buried the bodies of Ichiro and the others in this Xuanzhen Temple.

During the period of recuperation, Ogata also came here several times to pay homage to Ichiro and the others.
