I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Pushing open the paper sliding door, the first thing that entered Ogata's nostrils was the thick smell of powder.

As soon as he stepped into the brothel, an obese middle-aged man quickly greeted him with a flattering smile on his face.

"Guest officer! Welcome!"

"Look at you, you are a bit unfamiliar! Is this your first time here?"

"um, yes."

"So do you know any girls?"

"no"

"Do you need us to recommend one to you?"

"Then just recommend me one."

After finishing speaking, Ogata raised his right thumb, and flicked the big pen in his right hand towards the middle-aged man.

After receiving the big sentence from Ogata, the middle-aged man immediately beamed with joy.

"It's easy to talk! I'll arrange it for you immediately, guest officer! That's right! Do you need drinks?"

"Then come a little bit."

"okay!"

While greeting Ogata warmly, the middle-aged man led the way ahead and led Ogata into the depths of the brothel.

After Ogata and the middle-aged man left, a short man who had been hiding in the dark near the counter came out silently from this inconspicuous shadowy corner.

He looked at the place where Ogata's back disappeared with meaningful eyes.

Then he rushed out of the brothel.

Mamiya is hiding on a 3-story wooden roof next to a brothel.

Jiangong crouched on top of it, observing all the movements of the brothel in front of him.

When he saw a short man running out of the brothel, and then ran straight in the direction of leaving Matsucho, a faint smile appeared on Mamiya's face.

"good luck"

After all, Mamiya jumped off the roof with agility, and then followed the short man closely while keeping a certain distance from the short man.

Although Mamiya realized that the short man who was the first to run out of the brothel might be a decoy.

The brothel prepared two messengers, the first messenger ran in the wrong direction, and the second messenger ran in the right direction, in order to confuse the possible stalkers. Such a possibility cannot be ruled out.

But because of the current shortage of manpower, Gamiya can only gamble.

The bet is that these "Yakuza" didn't realize that someone would come to follow them, or they didn't have enough experience in anti-stalking, so they didn't prepare two messengers.

Guided by the middle-aged man, Ogata entered a long corridor.

On both sides of this corridor, there are rooms from room to room.

Through the paper sliding door, Ogata can hear some strange sounds from these rooms.

The middle-aged man stopped in front of a paper sliding door that did not make any strange noises, and then opened the paper sliding door.

Inside was a fairly clean, small room the size of several tatami mats.

"Guest officer, please rest inside for a while! Drinks will be served soon!"

After Ogata entered the room, the middle-aged man closed the sliding door again.

Ogata looked around.

This room has a futon and a closet.

Open the closet, the space inside is quite large, and can accommodate a grown man like Ogata.

After looking at every corner of the room and finding nothing suspicious or strange, Xu sat cross-legged in the center of the room.

The attendants of the brothel didn't keep Ogata waiting too long.

After a while, a little girl dressed as an attendant brought in 3 bottles of sake and 2 wine glasses.

Before Ogata could open the sake and have a drink, the paper sliding door was pulled open again.

It was a girl who opened the paper sliding door.

But not as a servant.

She didn't hold any food or drink in her hands.

And her face is much prettier than the waitress who came to deliver the wine just now

"Guest officer."

This girl with a better face had already introduced herself to Ogata just now.

She said her name was Ajia. As for whether it was her real name or a pseudonym, Ogata was not sure.

Ajia, who was sitting next to Ogata, was wearing a bright red kimono, pouring wine for Ogata skillfully, and talking to Ogata.

"You are so handsome."

"Thank you." Ogata smiled politely at her while accepting her drink.

But Ogata didn't really want to drink at this time, and the reason why he asked the middle-aged man to bring the wine just now was just a casual remark.

He brought the poured wine to his lips, and under the cover of his fingers, he pretended to sip and then put down the glass.

When he pretended to be sipping wine just now, Ogata had been secretly looking at Jia.

Ajia with a good face is wearing a bright red kimono.

Judging from the appearance, the age is about 18 years old.

Being able to use honorifics proficiently to talk to Ogata, presumably must have received a good education before, or was well trained by the people in the brothel after coming to the brothel.

After Ogata put down the wine glass in his hand, Ah Jia suddenly stood up.

Then he quickly walked down the futon placed next to the room, spread it on the tatami, and then lay on it in a "big" shape.

"Okay, sir. Let's get started."

While talking, Ah Jia untied the belt of the kimono on her body.

Looking at Ajia who was ready, Ogata's face showed a look of astonishment.

What?Did it start so soon?

Are all brothels like this?so direct?

Don't you need to continue drinking and flirting with the guests?

After Ah Jia noticed that Ogata was looking at her with astonished eyes, he looked at Ogata with puzzled eyes instead.

"Guest officer, what's the matter? Why are you still standing there?"

"That." After hesitating for a while, Ogata said softly to Ajia, "You are different from what I imagined."

Hearing what Ogata said, Ah Jia was slightly taken aback.

Afterwards, Ah Jia hurriedly sat up, and apologized to Ogata in a somewhat anxious tone:

"I'm sorry, guest officer! Did my little girl do something inappropriate just now?"

Chapter 141 Huo Fu Thief Changes Out of Formation

Not long after Ogata entered the brothel

Tatsuno Domain, somewhere in Matsucho

Somewhere in Matsucho, there is a two-story mansion that is somewhat inconspicuous due to its remote location.

Although this mansion is inconspicuous, it has a rather small courtyard.

On the top floor of the mansion, Hasegawa and several subordinates headed by Imai are sitting around a stove.

The stove was emitting flames, while Hasegawa, Imai and others put their hands on top of the flames to warm up.

After inspecting the gambling hall in Karamoto Village last night, Hasegawa moved the temporary residence they changed from Huofu Thieves to Matsumachi.

A remote and sufficiently large mansion in Matsucho was requisitioned from the mansion of the Tatsuno clan, which is the mansion where Hasegawa and others are currently staying.

Last night, they found clues about the "Buddha's enemy" they had dreamed of in the gambling house in Gangben Village.

After discovering this rare clue, Hasegawa and the others secretly made up their minds to never let this clue be broken.

The guy who killed everyone in the casino did it yesterday, so it is very likely that he hasn't gone far yet.

As early as last night, Hasegawa ordered the mobilization of all the officials of Huofu Bandit Reform under his command, and at the same time recruited some of the strength and unity of the Tatsuno clan to search Karamoto Village and its surrounding areas.

Relying on his intuition, Hasegawa instinctively felt that the guy who slaughtered the casino was most likely to flee to Matsucho, which is next to Karamoto Village.

It was also because of this that Hasegawa chose to temporarily move the temporary residence they changed from Huofu Thief into Matsumachi.

Although Hasegawa and others started to mobilize manpower to search since last night, the search work has been fruitless until now.

But Hasegawa was still waiting patiently.

Strong patience This is one of Hasegawa's proudest traits.

And they are baking their hands now, not just to pass the time there, but to keep their hands warm all the time, so that they can draw their swords in the best condition at any time.

Just when Hasegawa and the others were silently roasting the fire, the sound of anxious footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

After the sound of footsteps thumping, the sliding door was opened by a young official who had been changed by a thief.

The next moment after opening the paper sliding door, the young official said loudly:

"My lord! We have found information about the whereabouts of the spectacled samurai!"

As soon as the young official's words fell, Hasegawa immediately clenched his hands that were warming above the flames.

And turned his head and shouted to Imai next to him:

"Imai!"

"understand!"

Imai and Hasegawa have worked together for many years, and they have already cultivated a deep understanding with each other.

No more nonsense from Hasegawa.Sometimes it only takes a shout from Hasegawa, and Imai can understand what Hasegawa wants him to do.

Imai immediately got up and took a map placed in the corner of the room.

As for the brazier that was still blazing out, it was extinguished by the rest of Hasegawa's subordinates, and then placed in the corner of the room, so as to make enough room for the room to lay out the map.

The place where the stove used to stand is now paved with the map that Imai brought over just now.

This map is exactly the map of Matsumachi.

After arriving in the Tatsuno clan, in order to facilitate their search, Hasegawa obtained all the maps of the Tatsuno clan from the old Sano Zongxian of the Tatsuno clan.

Including urban maps, rural maps, field maps.

"Orange!"

Hasegawa shouted at the young official who came to report the news just now.

"come over!"

"Yes!"

This young official is none other than Tachibana Heitaro who has just joined Huofu Thief Kai not long ago.

This young man is not only highly valued by Imai, but also favored by Hasegawa. He is one of the newcomers that Hasegawa has cultivated.

Tachibana quickly walked to Hasegawa's side and knelt down, leaning over the map of Matsucho.

"Just now, the famous Tatsuno Clan's Tongxin heard from a woman in Matsumachi that a samurai with glasses and another young samurai wearing light green feathers were traveling together."

"The two went to the tour house opened by the local Yakuza Genan family."

Tachibana raised his finger and clicked a corner on the map.

"The location of this profile is here."

"According to the woman, the spectacled warrior and his companions separated before and after they came to this palace."

"The young samurai who accompanied the spectacled samurai entered Yougao."

"Where the spectacled samurai went after he separated from his companions, the woman did not know."
