I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Chapter 310 Chase (Part 2)

"Shimada! Go on!"

While Makimura shouted, he threw the resealed cloth bag full of Wakasa incense towards Shimada.

He was stabbed by seven thorns, and at the same time there were dozens of people pressing on him. Although he couldn't get up from the ground, he managed to throw something at Shimada.

Shimada just pulled out half of the knife from his waist at this time.

After seeing the sudden arrival of the officials who involuntarily used all kinds of traps and took advantage of the number of people to pin Mucun to the ground, Shimada was first stunned by the rapid and sudden change.

After a brief moment of daze, Shimada came back to his senses and immediately pulled out the knife at his waist with a sullen face.

However, before the knife was completely drawn out from his waist, Mucun's "Shimada! Continue!" came to his ears.

Although he didn't know what Mucun meant by calling him suddenly, Shimada obediently put the knife back, and raised his hands to firmly catch the cloth bag Mucun threw.

"Don't worry about me! Go after that bald head!" Mucun yelled at Shimada, "If you can't catch him, throw the contents of the cloth bag on that bald head! Go!"

"Yes Yes!"

After hearing Mucun's order, Shimada's face flashed a bit of hesitation

But this bit of hesitation was only fleeting.

After the hesitation on his face disappeared and he solemnly shouted "Yes", Shimada tightly grasped the cloth bag that Mucun threw to him just now, and followed the bald head's escape route to chase the bald head just now.

...

...

After Shimada went after the bald head, Mucun struggled hard.

But Mucun's struggle is doomed to be futile.

After all—no matter how strong Mucun is, it is impossible for the dozens of officials who are pressing on him to fall to the ground when the neck, limbs, and torso are all stabbed and trapped. It is impossible for humans to do it at this point.

At this moment, Mucun suddenly heard a series of hoofbeats from far to near.

Mucun turned his head following the sound, and looked towards the source of the sound - a middle-aged man who looked very familiar was walking slowly towards him on a horse.

Looking at the middle-aged man sitting on horseback and looking at him with a strange smile, Mu Cun's face darkened instantly, and he said in a deep voice:

"Abeliri...!"

"Hey, hey." The middle-aged man on horseback—that is, Abe, said in a yin and yang tone, "Although you are no longer from our Kyoto Prefecture, you should say respectfully when you see me Say 'Master Dafantou'?"

"Forget it, I won't talk nonsense with you. Hey, take Yahachi Mucun to me and put him in prison."

When turning the horse's head and preparing to leave in front of Mucun, Abe suddenly tightened the reins, causing the horse under his crotch to stop, and then said to Mucun in a mocking tone:

"Makimura Yahachi, this is the first time I think your tall figure is so pleasing to the eye."

"There are not many tall and stalwart people like you in Kyoto."

"So it's not very difficult to find you. After a little inquiry, I immediately received a lot of clues about your location."

"Thanks to your conspicuous size, we were able to find you so quickly."

"It's not a good thing to be too tall and too conspicuous."

After leaving this taunt, Abe, with a proud face, rode away leisurely and slowly...

At this time, an official dressed in Yuli came over and asked Abe in a low voice:

"Master Dafantou. Mucun seems to have another companion. His companion escaped just now. Do you need to chase him?"

"No need." Abe waved his hand, "My target is only Mucun, and I don't care about Mucun's companions, and Mucun's companions must have fled far away now, and it is impossible to catch up with them now."

...

...

The flow of people in the nearby blocks is not as large as that of the park, and the bald head can no longer rely on the flow of people to slow down the speed of Mucun.

The speed of running on flat ground without hindrance,

The bald head is obviously not as good as Shimada.

The distance between the two keeps getting closer—judging from the current situation, it will only be a matter of time before the bald head is caught up by Shimada.

At this time, Shimada was already extremely anxious.

He has only one thought now: quickly catch the bald head, and then rush back to support the pastoral village that was attacked by officials for no reason.

While chasing the bald head, Shimada tore away the small cloth bag that Mucun just threw to him, and then glanced inside the bag.

The cloth bag was filled with purple powder, and a strong fragrance wafted out from the cloth bag.

——This is... incense powder...?

Shimada didn't know why Mucun gave him the powder, and told him to sprinkle the powder on the bald head if he couldn't catch it.

After thinking for a while, unable to think of the reason, Shimada simply stopped thinking, withdrew his attention, and put all his body and mind on chasing the bald head.

The distance between Shimada and the bald head is getting closer and closer.

Just when there was only about 4 steps left between Shimada and the bald head—the bald head suddenly turned around.

While turning his head back, the bald head smashed the object he had been holding in his right hand towards Shimada's face.

The object held in the bald right hand is a handful of dust.

This is when the bald head just got out from under Mu Cun, and he grabbed another handful of dust on the ground.

Bald had been waiting for this moment—waiting for Shimada to get within range of the dust hitting him.

Shimada obviously lacked experience in dealing with such dirty tricks, and the distance between the two was extremely close, so the time left for Shimada to react was too short, until the dust thrown by the bald head hit his face , he belatedly raised his hands to defend.

A little bit of dust got into his eyes, and Shimada couldn't help moaning in pain.

Seeing that he successfully obstructed Shimada's sight with dust, a smug smile floated on his bald face.

But the smug smile on the bald head didn't hang on his face for too long.

Because he saw Shimada throwing a gadget at him.

And this little thing is exactly the cloth bag that has been torn open and filled with Wakasa Kazuki.

The small cloth bag that had been torn open accurately hit the bald head's shiny head, and all the powder contained in the cloth bag was dumped on the bald head's body.

The bald head, which originally only smelled like sweat, instantly became fragrant, strong enough to make people feel choked.

The body was covered with incense powder that was so fragrant that it choked the nose, and the bald head could not help but let out a scream.

Hearing the scream of the bald head, Shimada secretly said happily in his heart:

—Did you hit him!

While thinking in this way in his heart, Shimada tried his best to open his eyes a little, to check the current situation of the bald head.

After seeing that the bald head was sprinkled with Wakasa incense from head to toe, the big stone hanging in Shimada's heart finally fell to the ground.

There was dust in the eyes, and even opening them now would cause Shimada to feel a sharp pain.

Therefore, after checking the current situation of the bald head, Shimada had to close his eyes again immediately.

When Shimada threw that Wakasa incense just now, he was actually holding the mentality of trying his luck.

Because dust got into his eyes, his eyes were temporarily blind, so Shimada could only throw the cloth bag full of Wakasa incense just now based on his feeling.

Fortunately -- Shimada's luck was good. The cloth bag filled with Wakasa incense successfully hit the bald head, and the Wakasa incense contained in the cloth bag successfully sprinkled the bald head's whole body.

After successfully throwing the cloth bag full of Wakasa incense on the bald head, Shimada still persisted in rushing forward, intending to catch the bald head.

However——because the vision of the eyes has not fully recovered, Shimada can't even see the way ahead.

After rushing forward a few steps, Shimada felt that he bumped into someone solidly.

Shimada and the passer-by who was hit hard by him fell heavily to the ground.

"hateful……!"

After cursing in a low voice, Shimada ignored the abuse of the passer-by who was knocked down by him, and quickly untied the bamboo tube hanging from his waist.

This bamboo tube is Shimada's water bottle.

Kneeling on the ground with one knee, Shimada poured the water contained in the bamboo tube towards his eyes, and after simply washing his eyes, his eyes were finally able to barely open and he could see.

After recovering the vision of both eyes, Shimada hurriedly looked forward, in the direction where the bald head fled just now.

In the direction where the bald head fled just now, the bald head was no longer there.

He may have fled away, or he may have turned into a nearby alley when Shimada was out of sight.

"Bastard!" Shimada gritted his teeth in annoyance, and punched the ground under his feet hard.

The person who was knocked down by Shimada just now was a young man at the same young age as Shimada.

After being knocked down heavily by Shimada, the young man wanted to say something to Shimada, but after seeing Shimada's frightening facial expression due to anger, he couldn't help but spit out what he wanted to say. Swallowing the words of reprimand, she silently left Shimada's side.

After losing his bald head, Shimada can only go back to the place where Mucun was separated from Mucun just now and where Mucun was attacked by officials just now.

After going back, as expected—the officials were no longer in sight.

At the same time, Mucun was nowhere to be seen.

Looking at the ground where there were still traces of fighting, but now it was empty, Shimada's naturally hanging hands tightened and released, released and tightened again.

In the end, he gritted his teeth, turned his head resolutely, and ran towards the end of the street...

...

...

"My lord, we're here." Asai said to Lin beside him, "This should be the place where Mucun asked us to come."

Lin and Asai are now in a less crowded place in Kyoto.

Looking around, I can't see a few passers-by.

Among the not many houses around, there are very few with candles shining outside.

When parting from Mucun and the others, Mucun told Lin a request of his: I hope Lin and Asai can go to a certain place in Kyoto and give a message to his only acquaintance in Kyoto at present.

This is not a very troublesome task, so Lin readily agreed.

Because Lin and Asai were not familiar with Kyoto, after several times of asking for directions, they finally arrived at the place that Mucun said.

Lin looked at the private house in front of her.

It's just an extremely ordinary private house that can be seen everywhere in Kyoto. From the outside, there is nothing special.

After looking at the private house in front of her several times, Lin said softly:

"How dare you live in such a place with few people... It seems that this acquaintance of Mihachi is definitely not an ordinary person..."

There are almost no passers-by around, because there are not many people living and traveling here, and there are not too many lanterns hanging around for lighting, making the surroundings completely dark.

In a word - this place is the most suitable place for crime.

No one can see the killing and robbery in this kind of place.

For ordinary people, they would definitely not dare to live in such a place.

Lin stepped forward and said loudly to the paper sliding door in front of her:

"Good evening! Is anyone there?"

As soon as Lin's voice fell, a middle-aged male voice mixed with vicissitudes of life sounded outside the Zhila door:

"Pull the door and come in."

After the male voice fell, Lin and Asai beside him raised their eyebrows.

"...Master." Asai lowered his voice and whispered to Lin beside him, "It seems that this acquaintance of Mucun is really a weird person..."

There are strangers visiting, and they don't come out to see who is coming, just let people pull the door in-this kind of behavior is not enough to describe it with the word "weird".

Lin slowly opened the paper sliding door, led Asai slowly through the paper sliding door, stepped on the soil of the house, and entered the house.

Behind the paper sliding door - no one came to greet them both.

"My lord, shall we take off our shoes?"

"Of course." Lin said without thinking, "We're not here to fight, of course we have to compromise."

When they were outside the house just now, Lin and Asai could hear the middle-aged male voice mixed with vicissitudes coming from the second floor of the house.

So after taking off their shoes in Tujian, the two pulled out the knives with their sheaths from their waists, held them with their right hands, and then walked straight towards the stairs not far away.

After walking up the stairs to the second floor of this house, Lin and Asai both noticed that there was a special sweet fragrance in the air on the second floor of this house.

Asai frowned slightly:

"What kind of smell is this...?"

"...It's aromatherapy." Lin replied, "The smell is really strong... How much aromatherapy do you need to make the fragrance so strong..."

At this moment, the middle-aged male voice sounded again:

"I'm here, come here."

The source of the sound was the deepest room in the corridor in front of Lin and Asai.

The two walked slowly along this corridor towards this room.

The closer you get to this room, the stronger the aroma will be.

When they stood in front of the door of this room, the scent of the aroma was so strong that Lin and Asai couldn't help but hold their breath.

Crash la la la...

Lin slowly opened the paper sliding door of the room.

After pulling the door to the end, the first thing Lin and Asai saw were pieces of ukiyo-e.

This fairly spacious room is filled with various ukiyo-e prints.

On the ground, on the walls... Ukiyo-e are everywhere.

The tatami mats in the room are splashed with various paints, making it impossible to see the original color of the tatami mats.

The sharp-eyed Lin first noticed that the ukiyo-e paintings in the room basically had the same theme: women.
