I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

"What are you two doing here?" Konnosuke frowned slightly, and asked Ogata and A-Machi who were following closely behind him.

"Please let us go together." A-Machi said seriously, "We will not cause you any trouble."

"...Since you are friends of Tenmanji Temple, it's up to you."

"Hello...A-Machi." After Konnosuke turned his head away, Ogata turned his head slightly and asked in a low voice to A-Machi, "Is it possible that you... know that so-called Aotaro, Soutaro?"

"...Well." A-Machi replied blankly, "After all, they belong to the same ninja in Shiranui, so of course they recognize each other...I didn't expect those two people to be arrested and brought to this island..."

...

...

Konnosuke, who didn't even have time to change his clothes, rushed out of his mansion in a hurry, followed the guidance of a young man in the village, and rushed towards the southeast of the wooden wall without any hesitation or pause.

Along the way, many villagers who had learned that Sotaro and others came to ask for rice again approached Konnosuke with a look of panic.

Looking at the villagers who approached Konnosuke, Ogata couldn't help thinking to himself:

——Konnosuke is really popular in Fenghe Village... When encountering such a critical situation, the villagers will subconsciously come to him...

After Konnosuke appeared, Ogata clearly felt that the panic on the faces of the villagers had faded a lot as if they had seen the backbone.

At the same time, Ogata also sensed that the villagers were constantly casting doubtful glances at him and Atachi.

Behind Konnosuke suddenly appeared two strangers who had never met before—no matter who they were, they would definitely show doubts.

However, because Konnosuke didn't talk to Riogata and Acho, and they were still following him, and Soutaro and his gang were waiting for them outside the wall, the villagers felt embarrassed to ask Konnosuke for a while. Nosuke about Ogata and Acho.

...

...

After quickly rushing to the southeast of the wooden wall, Konnosuke, Ogata and Atachi who followed him, and some young people in the village boarded a watchtower one after another.

After boarding the watchtower and looking out of the wall,

Ogata clearly saw a lot of people gathered outside the wooden wall.

Most of these people were wearing the suit of armor issued to them prisoners by the extremely familiar government.

——1, 2, 3, 4, 5... 20... A total of 20 people... I don't know which Soutaro is who Konnosuke and Acho just said...

Because the prisoners gathered outside the wall held torches for lighting, Ogata could clearly see the number of them.

Just when Ogata was guessing who was Soutaro, a frivolous voice sounded from the group of prisoners under the wooden wall:

"Yo~~ Good evening! Konnosuke-sama! We are here to borrow rice from you again!"

"Sotaro...!" Konnosuke clenched his teeth, every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, "You bastards! You keep saying borrowed rice! But have you ever paid it back?" Meter?!"

——Is that guy Soutaro...

Ogata followed the frivolous male voice just now.

The owner of this frivolous male voice is of medium height, with a large vertical scar on his face, and is wearing a special black suit. The kimono on the upper body has narrow sleeves, and the hakama on the lower body is a little tight.

Looking at the black suit on this person, Ogata raised his eyebrows involuntarily, and then subconsciously looked at A-Machi beside him.

Because the suit on this person is very similar in shape to the suit on A-Ming.

It's just that this person's clothes don't show his shoulders and back like Ah-Ming's clothes.

——Since the suit on Machi is the uniform of the female ninjas in Shiranui, then the suit on that Soutaro should be the uniform of the male ninjas in Shiranui...

When Ogata was thinking this in his heart, Soutaro's frivolous voice sounded again:

"What? Konnosuke-sama, don't you want to lend us the rice?"

Hearing Sotaro's words, Konnosuke's expression changed.

Gritting his teeth, just when he was about to say something, a young villager standing behind him roared:

"We're almost out of rice!"

"If I give you more rice, we will all starve to death!"

As soon as the young villager finished speaking, a cold laugh came from Sotaro's mouth:

"Who cares about you! I don't care how much rice you have left! I just need you to give us enough rice! I don't care about the rest!"

Having said that, Sotaro suddenly paused.

After being silent for a while, he changed into a strange tone, and continued:

"But what Konnosuke-sama said just now is not unreasonable."

"We have borrowed so much rice from you, if we don't return it, it will be too unreasonable."

"But the rice you lent us has already been filled with feces and urine, so I can't pay you back."

"How about this. I'll give you something else."

After finishing speaking, Sotaro said to a subordinate next to him:

"Hey, push those three people up."

"Yes."

After the subordinate responded, he waved to the other two companions, and the three of them ran towards the dark place where the light of the torch could not reach.

After a while, the three came back.

Not only came back, but also pushed 3 people back.

The three people who were pushed out were all young men without exception.

They were naked to the waist and their limbs were tied to the four corners of a square table.

The bare upper bodies of the three were covered with a large number of shocking scars.

After the three prisoners pushed the three people out of the shadow, Konnosuke, Ogata and others standing on the watchtower could still see a little blood dripping down the bodies of the three people.

Looking at these three people, whether it was Konnosuke or the rest of the villagers behind him, their eyes were tearing apart, and their faces were full of anger.

Soutaro walked slowly to one of the three and patted his face.

"These 3 people... Konnosuke-sama, you should look familiar, right?"

"It's the other three of the four villagers from your village who went outside the wall to pick wild vegetables a while ago."

"It was their luck that they bumped into us."

"Master Konnosuke, although we can't return the rice to you, we can return these three people to you."

"Anyway, it's useless for us to keep these three people. They have no other use other than being a punching bag for bad moods, so it's okay to return them to you."

"As long as you obediently hand in the rice tonight, I will return one of these three people to you."

"As for the other two, let's save it for later."

"Master Konnosuke, you see this deal is great..."

"Sotaro!! Even though you defected to Shiranui, the scum natures of you and Aotaro still haven't changed!!"

Before Soutaro finished speaking, a female voice full of anger suddenly sounded, interrupting his words.
