I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

"I plan to move faster and hurry up to reach the dock before it rains."

"I don't want to be drenched halfway through the journey."

Jijiu: "Yes!"

Mount Koya, somewhere at the foot of the mountain

"Senior Asai, don't you want to sleep?"

"Do you think there's any way I can sleep under these circumstances?"

"I don't feel sleepy either."

The two carriages that Mamiya got last night were quietly parked at the foot of this inconspicuous mountain.

Asai and Shimada were leaning against the walls of the two carriages.

Last night, the two of them knew that after being injured, their combat strength was greatly reduced, and it would be difficult for them to play any role on the battlefield, so they volunteered and took the initiative to take on the task of driving.

The original plan of Ogata and the others was that a few people who could drive would take turns driving, so that everyone could take turns to rest.

However, in order to allow Ogata and others to have more time to rest, Asai and Shimada rejected the proposal of "changing guards in rotation". They each drove a car. With mental strength and willpower, he stayed up all night without sleep, and sent Ogata and others to the foot of Mount Koya.

After successfully sending everyone to Mount Koya, Asai and Shimada originally thought about taking turns to take a short nap, waiting for Ogata and the others to return, while replenishing the energy lost due to not sleeping all night.

But who would have thought that just as their eyes were closed, they smelled a more and more intense burnt smell

Open your eyes and see Koyasan, which was originally covered with clear water and green trees, surrounded by a sea of ​​flames

Excited by the sight in front of them and the smell in their noses, Asai and Shimada were completely sleepless.

Shimada, who still lacks concentration due to experience issues, has been asking Asai anxiously since just now: What should we do now?

The fact that Koyasan was burned by a fire that seemed to scorch the sky was completely beyond their expectations.

In the face of Shimada's anxious question, Asai's answer was always concise and powerful: just wait here slowly for Mr. Minamoto and the others to come back.

Asai, who has seen far more storms and waves than Shimada, has always had a very clear understanding of their current status: at present, they, apart from continuing to stick to this place with people and cars, wait for Ogata and his party to return. There is nothing else that can be done.

Despite Asai's relief, Shimada still couldn't be as calm as Asai.

In order to calm his emotions as much as possible, Shimada put his hands on his eye sockets and looked around frequently.

He simply hoped that he could see those familiar figures returning safely.

"Senior Asai"

"What's the matter?"

"What if we fail to find the Lord in Koyasan?"

Asai didn't even hesitate, and said directly:

"At that time, I will slowly find a way. As long as I work hard to find a way, there are always more ways than difficulties."

"What if the lord can't be found?" Shimada's mouth was pulled down, and his neck was shrunk, with worry and panic that couldn't be concealed on his face.

"Shimada, you always have a pessimistic personality, you really need to change." Asai gave Shimada a hard look with a complaining look, "Can't you think of something more positive?"

"Excuse me?"

Shimada's eyes narrowed suddenly at this moment, and then put his hands on his eye sockets with a "shua".

I saw him staring intently at the woods to the northwest of them.

Immediately afterwards, the worries and fears that were originally on his face turned into ecstasy.

"Senior Asai! Genichi and Ogata-senpai are back!"

Hearing Shimada's words, Asai, who was leaning against the wall of the car, closed his eyes and meditated, immediately jumped up.

"Where?"

"there!"

Asai looked in the direction Shimada's finger was pointing at, and as soon as he cast his gaze over, Asai's eyesight was far better than Shimada's, and he was taken aback immediately: "Why is Hasegawa Heizo here? What's the matter with this number of people? "

Before Ogata and the others entered the mountain, there were only less than 10 people in total.

But when they return now, they have turned into a big team.

Ogata carrying an old monk on his back

Mucun is carrying an old man covered in dirt like a beggar

Behind them there is a brigade headed by Hasegawa

While Asai was still looking at the inexplicably larger team with astonished eyes, Genichi, who ran at the forefront, shouted at Asai and Shimada from a distance:

"Asai! Shimada! Ready to go!"

Genichi's yell made Asai recover from his astonishment.

He didn't ask Yuanyi, "Where are we going now?", or anything else.

Genichi got them ready to go immediately, all he needed to know was that.

Without saying a word, Asai jumped into the "driving seat" and tightened his grip on the reins.

Although Shimada followed Asai and jumped into the driver's seat of the carriage he was in charge of, but he didn't have Asai's concentration, so he couldn't help but asked Genichi loudly:

"Master Yuan! Where are we going?"

Gen opened his mouth, as if preparing to answer Shimada's question.

But Yuanyi had just had time to open his mouth, and the person beside him took the lead and answered on his behalf:

"Go and destroy the warships of England!"

It's been a long time since I asked for a monthly ticket!Ask for a monthly pass!Ask for a monthly pass!

Chapter 711 The First Immortal Body: Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni [5800]

"Mr. Hasegawa...the two of us really have a very special fate."

In the carriage compartment, Ogata looked at Hasegawa who was sitting in a strange posture because of his injured leg.

In the not-so-spacious compartment, there were only three people, Ogata, A-machi, and Hasegawa.

Reunited with Hasegawa in Koyasan again, it was not appropriate to say a few words with this person who had "on and off" with him so many times and had a wonderful fate with him.

Therefore, Ogata just entrusted A-cho to help bring Hasegawa to the compartment where they can talk.

With no outsiders here, Ogata can finally "recognize" Hasegawa with confidence.

"Every time I say goodbye to you, I feel that this should be the last time I meet you." Hasegawa was also full of emotion at this time, only to hear him sigh silently, "It turns out that every time I can see you in a strange way." A place and a strange time to meet you again..."

Ogata smiled slightly, then put on a serious look and tone.

"Mr. Hasegawa, Mr. Isshiki and the others, as well as the old monk, please take them to a safe place."

"Hmm." Hasegawa's expression became serious at this time, "Leave it to me. This is my vocation as the leader of Huofu Bandit Kai."

"It's ready to go at any time!" Asai's voice sounded at this moment. .

"Oh..." Hasegawa sighed heavily, then raised his hand to touch his injured leg, "If the leg is not injured... I really want to go with you..."

"Let Edo become like Butterfly Island... just thinking about it makes people feel restless..."

Hasegawa's face was terribly pale now.

Just now, when Xuanzheng spit out the words "Renzhu" and "Edo Battle", when Ogata asked Xuanzheng what they meant, Xuanzheng only responded with a very simple sentence

"If you explain it slowly... it would be too time-consuming. Do you know Butterfly Island? Simply put, it is to make Edo like Butterfly Island, and to make Edo like Butterfly Island requires the use of human pillars. Sinking the pillars of people into the water of Kanda, where the Edo people lived, will make Edo like Chodo Island."

The "old monk with goatee" who didn't know what Butterfly Island was and those subordinates of Hasegawa looked puzzled.

But Ogata, Genichi, Hasegawa and the others changed their expressions drastically.

Without any further discussion.

They quickly made up their minds and rushed to the dock to chase Toyotomi!

The pursuers are naturally Ogata, Genichi and the others.

Hasegawa, who was already injured, fled to a safe place with his subordinates, Isshiki's family, and the old monk with the goatee.

Asai had already shouted "the train can start", and Hasegawa tactfully walked under the car.

But just when Hasegawa was about to leave the carriage, his body suddenly stopped.

"...Ogata-kun."

Hasegawa turned his head slowly, and looked directly at Ogata.

Ogata didn't have time to ask "what's the matter" in the future, so he heard him say:

"After leaving Koyasan, I will use all my strength to deal with Toyotomi as much as possible."

"Before that, please... you must stop that Toyotomi Nobuhide. You must not let Edo become like Chojima..."

"Please..."

After finishing speaking, Hasegawa bowed his waist to the "National Most Wanted Criminal" in front of him, and bowed solemnly to Ogata.

After saluting Ogata, Hasegawa slowly left the carriage.

After watching Hasegawa leave with a somewhat dazed gaze, the corner of Ogata's mouth slowly pulled out a helpless arc.

"This time... I was really involved in a terrible incident..." He murmured in a voice that only he could hear clearly.

Yuanichi and the others boarded the carriage one after another.

After confirming that everyone had boarded the car and that no one was missing, Asai yelled "Go" and shook the reins in his hand.

The painful horse raised its two front hooves, shouted "Recovery" a few times, and then pulled the carriage behind it and ran forward.

However, just as the carriage started, a figure suddenly sprang out from the curb in front of the carriage and stood right in front of the carriage.

Startled, Asai hurriedly pulled the carriage to a stop, and then fixed his eyes on the person standing in front of him. It was the "old monk with goatee" who had been lying on Ogata's back just now.

The carriage that Ogata was riding in was exactly the one that Asai was driving.

Ogata, wondering why Asai stopped immediately after starting the car, poked his head out of the car.

Looking at the "goatee old monk" who stopped in front of the car, Ogata was startled: "My lord, what are you doing?"

"Please take me with you!" shouted "Old Monk with Goatee". "No matter what, I want to see with my own eyes who dares to desecrate Koyasan!"

Seeing the "goatee old monk" who was so stubborn that he didn't look back at Nanshan, Ogata couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, and then deliberately shouted in a vicious tone:

"Sir! The place we are going to next is not your place to go! If you really follow us, you might die!"

"Please get out of the way!"

"If you don't get out of the way, we will knock you away!"

If it is true that the two ships Rihuiwan and Huluwan are going to carry Xiaolin and set sail for Edo as Xuanzheng said, then now is really a time to race against time.

Ogata, who didn't want to spend too much time on "persuading the old monk to leave", quickly stepped aside in order to persuade the "old monk with goatee" and directly issued a naked threat to the "old monk with goatee".

"Hey..." As soon as Ogata's threatening words just fell, Asai, who was in charge of driving, couldn't help but whispered to Ogata behind him, "Don't be kidding... I won't drive a car to run over an innocent old man... ..."

"It's just to scare him. I'm not cruel enough to be violent to an innocent old man." Ogata responded in a low voice.

Ogata wondered if his threat just now had worked, he saw a thoughtful look on the face of the "old monk with goatee".

Immediately afterwards, after a while, the "old monk with goatee" stood silently back to the side of the road without saying a word.

Seeing that Shunli ordered the "old monk with goatee" to step aside, Ogata couldn't help but let out a long breath.

Omo winked at Asai, then Asai nodded understandingly, and he raised the rein again, driving the carriage straight forward.

The carriage driven by Shimada followed closely behind.

Hasegawa stood where he was, watching Ogata and the others go away.

"Master Hasegawa..." After Ogata and others left, one of Hasegawa's subordinates silently walked to Hasegawa's side and asked, "What did that old man say before that made Edo look like Butterfly Island?" So... what does this mean?"

"And should we just let Ogata Isai and Mamiya Kuro leave...?"

Hasegawa took a deep look at his book.

"...We can't take care of Ogata Ittosai and Mamiya Kurō now."

He replied.

"So many people have been injured on our side, and there are people who need our protection."
