I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Arii poured all the strength left at this time into his hind legs, kicked the ground suddenly, and leaped the remaining 3 steps away from the left and right gates in one breath.

laugh!

The feeling of the blade piercing into the flesh was transmitted to Arii's palms.

It worked!

His knife pierced through the back of the left and right gate with precision, pierced his vitals, and then protruded from his chest.

A joyful smile bloomed on Arui's cheeks, but this joyful smile only lasted for a moment, then froze, and then slowly dissipated.

Because he saw the left and right guards slowly turned their heads expressionlessly and looked at him with admiration.

"Even if you die, you have to pull another enemy back."

"I appreciate your courage."

"It's not in vain that I have been waiting for you to rush over."

"Looking at your courage, I'll leave you a whole body."

Arii's mouth opened uncontrollably.

His face became even paler than before.

"Impossible" Youjing murmured, "I should have pierced your vitals."

Arii probably didn't realize that his words were actually his last words.

call!

The last image Arui saw in his lifetime was a huge naginata falling from the sky.

puff!

Like cutting a watermelon, Saemon chopped off Arii's head with his naginata.

Arii's head was split from forehead to throat, split into two neat halves.

"Yeah, the knife pierced through my body, and it really hurts."

Saemon shook off the blood remaining on the naginata, and at the same time pulled out the sword that had pierced his body.

The moment he pulled the sword out of his body, a strange scene that made one's hair stand on end appeared on Saemon's body.

I saw a lot of red bloodshot "grown" from the left and right side's wound.

These red blood threads were intertwined, and after a while, the huge penetrating wound on Saemon's body recovered to its original state.

"I didn't expect it?"

The left and right guards threw the drawn sword aside, and said to Arii's body in a joking tone.

"Just piercing the vitals of my abdomen is not enough to kill me."

Osaka, somewhere

"The wound on your leg is not deep, but it's not shallow either." The old man kneeling beside Ogata carefully looked at the wound on Ogata's leg, "I don't have any medicine on me right now. Just a little sackcloth"

"In short, let me bandage your wound with sackcloth to stop the bleeding from your wound."

After that, the old man opened a large package beside him, and took out a roll of linen from it.

"You need to find a doctor with good medical skills to treat your injury, otherwise you will leave an ugly scar on your leg."

"Haha, it doesn't matter, anyway, I have more scars on my body." Ogata said half-jokingly, "It doesn't matter to me whether there is one more scar or one less scar."

Ogata had already taken off his original suit of clothes that soaked up the river water.

He has now changed into clean and dry clothes, but a little too small

The dry clothes on his body were provided to him by the old man in front of him.

"Thank you very much, Master Ishikawa." Ogata thanked the old man in front of him who was helping him bandage his wound with a sincere tone.

"Hahaha." The old man smiled.

In the face of Ogata's thanks, the old man nodded with a smile and didn't say much.

Looking at the old man, Xu asked slowly with doubts:

"Master Ishikawa, why are you here?"

This old man was exactly Ishikawa Bingma, the owner of the Ishikawa Sword Gym that was in competition with Sakakibara Sword Gym when Sakakibara Sword Gym was still there.

This was the first time Ogata met someone from his hometown since he left the Hirose Domain.

Although Ogata had quite an unpleasant experience with Yuanshan and others of the Ishikawa Sword Gym, Ogata has no ill feeling towards the owner of the Ishikawa Sword Gym.

Not only did he not feel bad, he also had some respect for Ishikawa Bingma.

At the beginning, the pile of moths assembled by Yuanshan were all done with Ishikawa's soldiers on their backs.

Shi Chuanyou, who didn't want to make things big and troublesome, tried his best to dissuade and reprimanded Yuan Shan and others not to go looking for trouble, but he couldn't control Yuan Shan and others at all.

"Hehehe" Ishikawa smiled awkwardly, "Ogata-kun, before that, can you tell me that you have seen Itagaki? It is that Itagaki Shichigoro, do you remember him?"

Ogata: "Itagaki Shichigoro?"

Hearing the name "Itagaki Shichigoro", Ogata's expression was immediately startled.

Ogata naturally remembered who Itagaki was.

One of Toyama's younger brothers who was the first person Ogata killed since he came to the Edo period.

When Toyama and others went to Sakakibara Sword Gym and the izakaya where Ogata worked to find trouble for Ogata, Itagaki was the one who led the team to the izakaya where Ogata worked.

After Ogata could not be found in the izakaya, Itagaki shamelessly injured the mother and daughter of Saki and Afu.

Ogata later went to the Ishikawa Sword Gym to avenge the brothers in the sword Gym and the izakaya's Saki, Afu mother and daughter, Ogata took care of Itagaki and beat Itagaki half to death.

Since then, Itagaki, who was seriously injured, has been recuperating at home.Because of this, after beating Itagaki half to death, Ogata never saw this person again.

"No." Ogata shook his head, "After beating him seriously, I never saw him again."

"So that means he hasn't found you yet?"

Ishikawa's face showed a look of regret and gratitude.

"Ogata-kun, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. I left the Hirose Domain this time to find Itagaki and the others."

"Not long after you left the feudal clan, Itagaki left the feudal clan together with the other people in my sword hall who respect Yuanshan."

"On the eve of leaving the feudal clan, they sent a letter to the Jianguan. The letter said: We will go to Ogata Yishi to avenge Brother Yuanshan. If we don't take the leader of this thief, we will never return home."

"I was quite annoyed when I received this letter from Itagaki and the others."

Ishikawa smiled wryly.

"I had only one thought at the time: I really failed as a master."

"Tell Yuan Shan not to expand the dispute anymore, Yuan Shan didn't listen to me."

"After Yuanshan died in the performance of worshiping gods and martial arts because he didn't listen to my advice, I advised Itagaki and others to stop here and stop doing stupid things. Itagaki and they also didn't listen to me."

"If I were a master who could discipline my disciples well, perhaps this series of disputes and tragedies would not have happened."

"The series of disputes between you and Yuan Shan, from the source, it is Yuan Shan's fault first."

"Because of Yuan Shan's fault, one tragedy after another has happened like a chain reaction."

"I don't want more people to be injured or even killed because of this dispute that Yuanshan was at fault first."

"If I just let Itagaki and the others be so obsessed with obsession, then what I, my master, has really failed."

"So I closed my Ishikawa Sword Gym, left the Hirose Domain, and looked for Itagaki and the others."

"I don't know where Itagaki and the others went to find you, so I can only look for people aimlessly."

"I came to Osaka about a month ago."

"This place is one of the settlements of poor people in Osaka."

Ishikawa stretched out his finger and pointed to the ground under his feet.

"There's a cheap hotel here. Here, that's the house, do you see it? That's the hotel I've been staying in lately."

Ishikawa pouted at a two-story wooden house that looked like a dangerous building not far away.

"Because I don't have much money left on me, I've been staying in that cheap hotel for a while."

"Now there are unknown fires and gunfire everywhere in Osaka, so the residents here are scared and run away."

"I didn't plan to escape with the people here, because I observed the location of the fire, and the location of each fire is quite far from here, and the fire may not necessarily burn here, so I didn't follow here. Residents leave here together."

"But just now, I found out that I can't run anymore."

"The speed and scope of the fire's spread far exceeded my imagination."

"Somewhere in the neighborhood not counting from here has been affected by the fire."

"It would be dangerous to stay here any longer, so I hurriedly left the hotel and prepared to escape to a safe place."

"As a result, I just left the hotel when I ran into you who was wet."

"Fate is really a wonderful thing. I never thought that I would meet you before Itagaki and the others."

This "old friend" is Ishikawa Bingma, did not expect it?

Those who have forgotten the relevant plots of Ishikawa Bingma, Toyama, Itagaki and others can review Volume 1.Ishikawa Bingma is the poor owner of the pavilion who is treated as fart by Yuan Shan and others no matter how much he persuades Yuan Shan and others not to do stupid things.

Chapter 666 Ogata: "Kill the enemy and no one will chase me anymore" [5600]

In the Edo period, leaving the feudal domain was a felony.

In order to maintain feudal rule, the Edo shogunate not only restricted class mobility, but also restricted population mobility.

Since the establishment of the Edo Shogunate, it has promulgated regulations: warriors and common people in each vassal state are not allowed to leave the vassal state to which they belong without authorization.

Those who leave the vassal state without authorization are regarded as "those who left the vassal".

Once the defectors were caught, they would be sent back to their original vassal state immediately and sentenced to severe punishment.

In other words, once you leave the domain, you will immediately become a wanted criminal across the country.

Itagaki and the others did not hesitate to leave the feudal clan, but also came to hunt down Ogata, and their determination to avenge Toyama, really made Ogata wonder what kind of expression to put on.

"After I left the Hirose clan, has there been any new changes in the Hirose clan?" Ogata asked softly.

"After you killed Matsudaira Gennai, the newly appointed feudal lord's ability is not outstanding, but fortunately he is also a normal person." Ishikawa said slowly, "Under his rule, the people of the Hirose clan are not very It’s as good as it gets, but it’s also much better than before.”

"Where is the Sakakibara Sword Gym? Is the Sakakibara Sword Gym still there?" Ogata asked.

"The Sakakibara Sword Gym is still there." Ishikawa continued, "Probably at the beginning of last year, the feudal government seemed to be planning to tear down the Sakakibara Sword Gym."

"But it was opposed by many people in the domain."

Having said that, Ishikawa showed a smile with the color of memories.

"Your righteous deed of killing the tyrant Matsudaira Gennai has gained a lot of hearts in the Hirose Domain."

"Those who support you are all over the countryside, cities, towns, business circles, and feudal palaces."

"Under their concerted efforts, the feudal government canceled the plan to wipe out the Sakakibara Sword Hall."

"Is that so?" A smile burst from Ogata's cheeks, "It's good that the sword hall is still there."

"Not only is the Sakakibara Sword House still there, but it is also very well maintained. Many people spontaneously went to the Sakakibara Sword House to clean it."

"Especially a mother and daughter who run an izakaya. The two of them will definitely go to the Sakakibara Sword Gym every 7 days, and clean the inside and outside of the Gym."

"Mother and daughter who run an izakaya?" Ogata was startled, and then quickly asked, "Are those mother and daughter called Azaki and Afu?"

This time Ishikawa was startled: "Yes. Are they two your acquaintances?"

"I have been taken care of by the two of them before." Ogata put on an expression as if he was relieved, "It seems that the two of them are living a very peaceful life now."

Ogata tilted his head back, leaning against the wall behind him.

"Obviously it's only been more than a year since I left, but just listening to your narration, I already have a feeling that things are different from people."

"You can find an opportunity to go back to the Hirose Fandom in the future." Ishikawa said, "Unlike those feudal states that are located in dangerous areas and are difficult to cross, if you want to mix into the Hirose Fan, there are still many ways and paths. "

"If I'm still alive, I'll consider going back to my hometown." Ogata responded half-jokingly.

Speaking of this, Ishikawa just finished bandaging Ogata's wound.

"Okay, the wound is wrapped up, check to see if it's wrapped too tightly."
