I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

……

After washing their bodies, Ogata and Mamiya could finally step into the deepest part of the bath, and it was also the place they should go to after coming to the bath - the bathtub.

Passing through the pomegranate door connecting the shower room and the bathtub, hot air several times stronger than the shower room hit Ogata and Mamiya like a tide.

At this time, the bathtub was already filled with many people.

However, because the bathtub is relatively spacious, even after Ogata and Mamiya sit in it, it will not feel crowded at all.

Ogata first tested the water temperature with the tip of his toe.

It was a little hot, but not to the point where it would be unbearable.

After Mamiya stepped into the bathtub one after the other, the two moaned comfortably while leaning against the edge of the bathtub behind them.

"The heat is just right..." Mamiya closed his eyes, looking quite enjoying it? "It feels like my whole body is going to melt..."

"Mamiya, do you like baths very much?" Ogata asked after taking a bath.

"It's only when I'm in the bath that I realize that being alive is such a happy thing." Mamiya replied in a half-joking tone.

……

……

"Speaking of... I haven't asked you yet."

Mamiya, who was taking a quiet bath with Ogata, suddenly spoke to Ogata.

"What enmity do you have with the Negishi family?"

"There is no big enmity, and there is no big grievance." Ogata said? "Just because their people stole my purse? And I plan to get it back."

"No wonder when you went to dinner just now, you said you had no money. It seems that the Negishi family is really unlucky? It's not good to steal someone's money, but it was stolen from you."

"What about you, Mamiya?" Ogata looked at Mamiya next to him. "Have you ever said that you have a grudge with the Negishi family? That's why you came all the way here to seek revenge. Could it be your wallet?" Was it also stolen by the Negishi family?"

"Well...my enmity with the Negishi family is also related to money. But it's not that the money bag was stolen. And...to be precise, it's not my enmity with the Negishi family, but the relationship between my lord and the Negishi family. People have grudges."

"My lord...?" Ogata frowned. "Gamiya? Didn't you say you are a ronin? As a ronin, where did you come from, my lord?"

"I am indeed a ronin. I have already left the lord's house, and now I am not working for the shogunate, nor for any feudal clan. The person I am working for now is...a businessman."

"For the sake of convenience? My companions and I have always called him 'Lord'."

"As for what my master usually sells, let me keep it a secret."

"The Negishi family bought my lord's things? But they didn't pay for it, which annoyed my lord."

"My lord hates dishonest people the most."

"So you sent me to this place? Give the Negishi family a good lesson... ah."

Before he finished speaking, Jian Gong suddenly let out a strange cry.

"I seem to have forgotten to wash my hair just now."

Ogata looked at the hair on Mamiya's head? Thinking about it? He found that Mamiya really hadn't washed his hair in the shower just now.

"What are you doing..." Ogata cast a speechless gaze at Mamiya.

"Excuse me? I'll come back as soon as I go, and I'll be back after I wash my hair."

After finishing speaking, Mamiya jumped out of the sink and walked quickly back to the shower room.

……

……

After returning to the shower room, Mamiya took a pot of hot water slowly.

After looking around the shower room, he found his target - a young man who was sitting in the corner of the shower room, washing his body slowly.

Holding hot water and a small stool, Mamiya walked slowly to the young man's side and sat down.

As soon as Jiangong sat down, the young man said to Jiangong in a calm tone that was neither salty nor light:

"Mamiya, it seems that you haven't forgotten the rule of 'every other night at Xu time, you must exchange information in the bathing place in Matsucho'."

"How could I forget." Mamiya shrugged, "I was just taking a bath in the bathtub, so I came a little late."

Chapter 138 Exchange of Information

The young man sitting next to Mamiya is a beautiful boy.

Fair skin, firm muscles, and a handsome face.

He is a beautiful boy who wouldn't feel weird even if he was told that he was liked by 100 girls.

"Shallow well."

Mamiya was the first to ask the beautiful boy.

"Let's talk about what you have gained in the past two days. Have you found the base camp of the Negishi family?"

"No."

The beautiful boy whom Mamiya called Asai said without thinking.

"I didn't find the base camp of the Negishi family. But I didn't find nothing. I found a brothel opened by the Negishi family in this pine town."

Mamiya and Asai both control their volume.

Only the two of them could hear their conversation clearly, and no one else could hear what they were talking about.

"Oh?" Jiangong raised his eyebrows while washing his hair, "Then this harvest is not small... I found another place where I might get reliable information..."

"It's your turn, Mamiya."

This beautiful boy, or Asai, said this to Mamiya beside him in a blunt tone.

"Did you gain anything?"

"I, like you, did not find the location of the Negishi family headquarters."

"I made a special trip to the casino run by the Negishi family today, but found nothing."

"But I happened to meet a very interesting person today."

"A very interesting person?" Asai frowned slightly, and cast a puzzled look at Mamiya beside him.

Mamiya briefly described how he met Ogata by chance today, and then how he and Ogata embarked on the road of cooperation in a daze.

"Gamiya..." Asai frowned deeply.

If a mosquito accidentally flew between Asai's eyebrows, it might be pinched to death by Asai's frowning brows.

"What are you doing...why are you cooperating with such an ignorant person for no reason?"

"I'm very interested in that person."

Mamiya said softly.

"Not hesitating to die, not hesitating to kill the cruel lord... I am very interested in such an executioner."

"Before I met him, I instinctively felt that the executioner should not be a guy with a twisted personality."

"I was interested in that guy. So I decided to try to reach out to him, try to work with him, try to get to know him."

"Although the friendship between me and him is less than half a day from the time I met him."

"But less than half a day's friendship is enough for me to judge that he is indeed not a treacherous person with a twisted personality."

"It's better to say that he is still the kind of guy worthy of deep friendship."

"He belongs to the kind of person who treats you well if you treat him well. If you treat him badly, he will treat you even worse."

Speaking of this, Mamiya paused.

After being silent for a while, he continued:

"If possible, we might be able to bring him into our ranks."

"Huh?" Asai stopped washing his hands.

In the gaze cast towards Jiangong, there was an extremely strong color of astonishment.

"You... want to bring the executioner Yi Dao Zhai under our command?"

"I think this is very appropriate." Mamiya smiled slightly at Asai, "Didn't my lord complain about the lack of manpower recently?"

"...Hmph." Asai moved his hands after washing his body again, "If you can bring a reliable, powerful person to join us, my lord will be very happy. It depends on your ability Bring Ogata Yidaosai under our command."

"I'll do my best. Tell me the location of the brothel you found later. I'll go for a run tomorrow and see if I can get any useful information from that brothel."

"Are you going to that store? That's right. I hate that kind of store. If you are willing to take the initiative to go to that store to collect information, it will really help you a lot. I will tell you where that store is now."

Asai reported a place name.

The brothel opened by the Negishi family happened to be not far from the bathing place.

After silently memorizing the place name Asai reported, Mamiya asked Asai:

"By the way, how are you doing these two days, my lord?"

"It's still the same." Asai smiled wryly, "With great energy, he pulled me around to search for all information related to the location of the Negishi family's headquarters. It seems... what the Negishi family did really angered the Lord. ah……"

"Of course." Jiangong also smiled wryly, "The thing my lord hates the most is cheating."

Speaking of this, Asai seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly paused.

"By the way, I almost forgot to tell you...Gamiya, there is something very important to tell you."

Asai looked serious.

"What's the matter?" Mamiya asked back.

"My lord and I only found out earlier this morning that Onihira brought the officials sent by Huofu Thief Kai to Tatsuno Fan."

Hearing Asai's words, Mamiya's face instantly became serious.

"...As expected of Kihei..." Mamiya muttered, "He chased him from Kanto so quickly..."

"The lord asked me to bring you a word of caution."

"Understood." Mamiya scratched his hair, "Although Kihira is tough, I'm not afraid of them. Asai, do you have anything else to say?"

"Nothing."

"Then tonight's information exchange will end here."

"I can't stay here for too long. If I wash my hair here for too long, it will make Ogata suspicious."

"Well, goodbye, Mamiya."

"Huh? Asai, don't you want to soak in the bathtub?"

"No need. I don't love baths as much as you do. I haven't eaten dinner yet, and I'm not in the mood to take a bath when I'm hungry."

……

……

After getting dressed and coming out of the bathhouse, Asai casually found a shop selling food.

After eating something casually, Asai ran straight to an inn not far from the bathing place.

He ran to this inn, stopped in front of a room in this inn, and knocked on the door.

"Who?"

A cold voice came from inside.

"My lord." Asai said respectfully, "It's me."

"It's Asai... tell me."

"Yes."

Asai opened the sliding paper door, stepped into the room slowly, and then knelt on the tatami of the room.

"My lord, I have successfully exchanged information with Jian Gong."

"Has Mamiya received any goods in the past two days?"

"Nothing. However, Mamiya met the executioner Yidaosai by chance today, and together with the executioner Yidaosai, they searched for the location of the Negishi family headquarters."

"...Asai, tell me about this matter in detail."
