I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

The body shapes of these four ronin are very characteristic.

a tall man.

A short man.

a fat man.

a skinny guy.

"Hey." The skinny ronin said, "Would you like to wake him up and let him come over and chat with us?"

"No more." The tall ronin shook his head, "They are already asleep, it would be really impolite to wake them up again."

"That's right." The short rogue also answered at this time, "Before you understand other people's temperament, don't try to provoke them. Maybe they are the kind of people who hate others to disturb their sleep. Let him sleep well Well, he sleeps in his, let's talk about ours."

call--!

A gust of cold wind blows into the temple along the broken paper windows.

"Well……"

"It's so cold..."

"What's the bad weather..."

"Hiss...my teeth are chattering..."

The four ronin clutched their clothes tightly, rubbed their hands, or breathed into the palms of their hands.

It is now January of the second year of Kansei.

It was the dead of winter.

Tatsuno Fan, located in the Kinki area, was already covered in silver at this time.

It was snowing tonight, and there were patches of white snow floating outside the temple.

Along the broken window, looking at the patches of white snow outside the window, the tall ronin muttered:

"Fortunately, I found this deserted ancient temple tonight... If it weren't for this ancient temple, we might all freeze to death here tonight."

"I don't need to talk about this kind of emotion." The fat ronin said angrily, "Hurry up and find a way to block these windows."

"We don't have the tools and materials to paste paper, and there is no such thing as wood boards here." The skinny ronin smiled helplessly, "If it can't be blocked, just bear with it tonight, let's get together Tighten it up, and it will keep you warm."

Chapter 119 A Head Worth 300 Taels

There were no tools or materials to paste or block the windows, so the four ronin could only lean close together, using each other's body heat to warm themselves.

"The snow outside seems to be less." The skinny ronin looked out the window, "although it's still very cold."

"Using the words in the Chinese book - "Shi Shuo Xin Yu"..." The tall ronin on the side continued, "The current snow is like 'scattering salt in the sky can be imitated'."

As soon as the tall ronin finished speaking, the fat ronin sitting next to him patted him on the shoulder vigorously.

"Hey~~ I didn't expect you to be such a knowledgeable person! I have read some "Shi Shuo Xin Yu" before, but no matter how many times I read it, I still can't read it."

"What's the use of knowledge..." The tall ronin smiled wryly, "Have you become a helpless ronin..."

Let me add a sentence, the reading app I am using recently, [\Mi\Mi\Reading\Reading\A\P\P \w\w\w\.\m\i\m\i\r\e\a\d \.\c\o\m 】There are many sources of books, all books, fast!

The words of the tall ronin instantly made the atmosphere in the temple heavy.

All the people present are ronin who have left their domains for various reasons.

The words of the tall ronin immediately brought back bad memories for them.

"... Sigh." After being silent for a while, the fat ronin let out a long sigh, "The current world-shattering way... I'm afraid it's nothing more than that in the Warring States period."

"I never thought that I would one day become a vagrant..." The short vagrant on the side said, "This kind of vagrant life now... I don't know how long it will last..."

The four of them tacitly did not ask each other why they became ronin.

Because they all know that it must be because of some unspeakable reasons that they will leave the domain and become ronin.

So they all kept silent on this issue in an extremely tacit understanding, and did not expose their respective scars.

"Right now, morals and morals are broken." The skinny ronin said softly, "Look——last autumn, didn't the sensational murder of the lord occurred in the Hirose Domain?"

"Ah, I know about this." The fat ronin continued, "That 'Executioner Yidao Zhai' is really amazing..."

"'Executioner Yi Dao Zhai'...?" The short ronin looked at the others blankly, "Who is this? Why haven't I heard of this character?"

"It's normal that you haven't heard of it." The tall rogue replied, "After all, people like us who live in the world, it's hard to know what's going on in the world. I only found out a few days ago. This character."

After finishing speaking, the tall ronin cleared his throat.

Then he said:

"Last year, the patriarch of the Hirose Clan—Kuranaga Zaemon decided to assassinate their lord of the Hirose Clan—Matsudaira Gennai for unknown reasons."

"In order to assassinate Matsudaira Gennai, Kuranaga Zaemon recruited a young warrior with outstanding swordsmanship from the Hirose Domain——Ogata Itsue."

"They chose the day of the assassination to be when Song Pingyuan was out hunting."

"About last autumn. This assassination with a disparity in combat strength between the two sides began."

"Ogata Yishi launched a single-handed assault."

"With the strength of one person, he killed a hundred guards in Songping Yuannai."

"And in the end, Matsudaira Gennai was successfully killed."

"According to rumors, the swordsmanship used by this Ogata Itsue is the Sakakibara Ichidou style created by the late swordsman, Sakakibara Denichiro, who was well-known in the Izumo area."

"By killing hundreds of people with one sword skill, the title of 'Executioner Yidao Zhai' has been spread like this."

"Hundred people?" The short ronin gasped, "Is it true? Is there really such a swordsman in this world who can defeat a hundred with one? Then, where is this Ogata Yishi now? do you died?"

"I think this should be true." The tall ronin continued, "After the assassination incident was over, the initiator of this incident, Kurangaga, took the initiative to write a letter to the shogunate, confessing what he had done."

"And after the book shogunate, he committed suicide by caesarean section."

"According to the rumors - when Kuranaga was in the Shogunate, he concealed the existence of someone like Ogata Itsuki."

"It wasn't until the shogunate sent people to the Hirose Domain to investigate. The shogunate didn't know about Ogata Itsue, and it was Ogata Itsue who swung a knife and killed Matsudaira Gennai and all his guards."

"It's a pity——when he learned of the existence of this person, that Ogata Yasushi left the Hirose Domain long ago, became a vagrant from the domain, and disappeared early."

"The rogue from the feudal clan?" The short rogue exclaimed, "So that means—that Ogata Itsuki is still alive?"

"Maybe he is still alive, or he may be dead." The tall ronin shrugged, "After learning that it was Ogata Itsuki who killed Matsudaira Gennai, the shogunate immediately issued a high reward."

Speaking of this, the tall ronin's face showed an intriguing look.

"Do you know how much the head of 'Executioner Yidao Zhai' is worth now?"

"How much?" The short ronin swallowed.

The tall ronin raised three fingers.

"300 taels."

"3, 300 taels?!" The short man couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Exaggerated number, right?" The tall ronin smiled, "Such a number is enough to drive many people crazy."

"After learning of this reward, there must be many poor and crazy ronin who are confident in their skills to look for traces of 'Executioner Yidao Zhai'."

"Not only will there be the pursuit of these wanderers who are deluded by the bounty, but there will also be the pursuit and killing of people from the government."

"With such a person staring at his head, 'Executioner Yidao Zhai' might already be dead."

"300 taels..." The short ronin's face showed greed, "Should I also try to chase 'Executioner Yidao Zhai'..."

"I advise you not to be stupid." This time it was the fat ronin who said in an angry tone, "Who is he? He is an 'executor Yidao Zhai' who can kill hundreds of people with his own power."

"This title is forged with the blood of others."

"Where do you have the confidence to think that you can beat the 'one knife fast' where one enemy can fight a hundred?"

"People's 'One Dao Zhai' may have slaughtered countless idiots who didn't know what to do and thought they could get the 300 taels."

"Hey..." The short ronin smirked a few times with embarrassment on his face, "I'm just talking casually..."

Just when the four ronin were chatting with each other——

"...It's too wrong, where did you hear these rumors?"

A young male voice that was quite unfamiliar to the four ronin sounded.

The four ronin were taken aback for a moment, then followed the prestige.

At the end of the line of sight of the four people, they locked on the ronin who was leaning against the wall in the corner of the ancient temple and sleeping with a bamboo hat covering his face.

Chapter 120 Are You The Executioner Yidao Zhai?

"Your step... so you're not sleeping?" the tall ronin asked back with a look of astonishment.

"Yes." As the ronin said, he took off the bamboo hat covering his face and put it on his chest.

Because of the dim light, the four ronin couldn't see the man's face clearly.

"Let me tell you..." the ronin said in a helpless tone, "Where did you hear all these rumors about 'Executioner Yidao Zhai'?"

This person was obviously asking the tall ronin who was talking eloquently just now, telling the story of "The Executioner Yi Dao Zhai".

Being asked such a question suddenly made the tall ronin feel a little overwhelmed.

After swallowing a few mouthfuls of saliva and barely calming down, the tall rogue said:

"I heard it from other ronin who make their homes all over the world."

"The rumors you have heard are full of mistakes and omissions..."

The young ronin let out a few helpless sighs.

"First of all - Ogata Itsue is not the only one who participated in the assassination of Matsudaira Gennai."

"There were seven people involved in the assassination, including Ogata Itsuki."

"It's just that only Ogata Yishi survived."

"Secondly—Ogata Yishi is not alone..."

"In addition to Sakakibara Ichidou, he also used other sword techniques."

"However, Ogata Itsuki's head is now worth 300 taels—that's right."

"Really...why did it become the current version full of mistakes..."

The words of the young ronin made the four ronin stunned.

"One step..." the tall ronin asked doubtfully, "Why do you know so clearly?"

"Judging from your tone, it seems that you were there when Ogata Yasushi assassinated Matsudaira Gennai..."

"...I actually heard it from other people." After a moment of silence, the young ronin said softly, "I think the version I heard is more accurate."

As soon as the young ronin finished speaking, the fat ronin sneered:

"After a long time...it turns out that what you just said is also based on hearsay."

"Since it's also based on hearsay, don't act like you're swearing at it, as if what you said is completely correct."

"That's right!" The skinny ronin echoed, "You're not sure if what you said is correct, so don't teach others that what you said is wrong!"

"That's enough, that's enough..." The tall ronin smiled wryly to smooth things over, "If you have something to say, just talk about it, and don't speak so aggressively, both of you."

The young ronin didn't seem to care about what the fat ronin and the skinny ronin said in a very aggressive tone.

He just said in a casual tone:

"Forget it, there is nothing to talk about on this topic, you guys can continue talking, I will continue to sleep first."

After saying that, the young ronin put the bamboo hat back on his face and stopped making any noise.

The four ronin headed by the fat ronin only regarded the young ronin's speech just as an episode.

No one cares.

After the young ronin fell asleep wearing a bamboo hat again, the four ronin chatted enthusiastically again.

The topic miraculously jumped from "The Executioner Yidao Zhai" to the topic that men love-the female body.

However—they haven't chatted for a long time, the gate of the ancient temple was suddenly opened... no, it should be said that it was kicked open suddenly!

The wind and snow poured into the ancient temple along the kicked open gate.
