I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Yesterday, I saw that the author of a friend's book **Lu was plagiarized—the kind of plagiarism that only changed the name of the character. Now my friend is dealing with it.

If you see works plagiarized from this book elsewhere, you can notify me as soon as possible, and I will contact the editor to deal with it.

However, my works of this kind of theme probably have the survival soil only at the most inclusive starting point. On other websites, I am afraid that they will not even splash the water (laughs).

As soon as Upanu finished speaking, a shout full of impatience suddenly exploded:

"enough!"

The person who yelled——is Retannoe.

"Upanu, do you know what you're talking about?" Retannoe glared at Upanu, "I thought...you who had fought with Heren and had a bloody feud with Heren must be the most supportive Defending our homeland..."

"It is because I have fought with Heren that I advocate surrender." Upanu said lightly, "It doesn't matter if you laugh at me as a coward or call me cowardly."

"Surrender can continue the blood of the ethnic group. Let everyone live."

"Alive, and the continuation of the blood, are more important than anything else."

Speaking of this, Upanu put down the bong in his hand and looked at Chanup who was not far away.

"Chanup. Stop hesitating there."

"Order Kaesong to surrender."

"You are in charge of the entire Heyezhe, and protecting the lives of all Heyezhe's people is what you should do most."

"Life cannot be wasted in a war that has little chance of winning."

"...Upanu." Chanup put down the bong in his hand, lowered his head and asked softly. "Do you know what the consequences will be if you abandon your homeland and surrender Kazuto?"

"Of course I know the consequences of surrender and people." Upanu asked softly,

"Surrendered and people. There is a high probability that we will be forcibly moved to the 'Heren land', forcing us to become 'naturalized Ainu', and we will be under the supervision of the people for the rest of our lives.

"

"But like I said - doing this, it keeps everyone alive. Even though it's humiliating."

Chanup raised his eyes, and looked at Upanu with a gaze that made it difficult to see the emotions contained in his pupils.

...

...

Red Moon Fortress, Kunoya's clinic——

Kunoya has not returned until now.

"Okay, okay." Ah Ding swallowed the porridge in his mouth, and said anxiously, "I'm full."

Ogata handed the bowl of porridge left in his hand to A-Ming: "Don't you want to eat more?"

"I don't have an appetite now... Under such circumstances, do you think I will still have an appetite...?" A-Machi returned the bowl Ogata handed over, with a bit of anxiety in his tone, "Okay, rice Already eaten, let's hurry up and think about how to solve the current predicament. How should we get out of here now?"

Just now, after Ogata came back and told A-Machi what happened outside, A-Machi anxiously asked Ogata what to do.

To Machi's urgent question, Ogata's answer was "Don't panic, don't be anxious. It's lunch time, let's eat lunch first. You have to eat on time now, so that your body can get better as soon as possible."

After giving A-Ming such an answer, Obi cooked their lunch for today in his own way, and then half-forced A-Ming to eat.

A-Ming was powerless to resist, so he could only obediently eat the porridge Ogata handed over one spoonful after another.

A-Ming didn't know whether Ogata wanted to calm down her emotions by eating, or simply wanted her to eat on time and take care of her body as soon as possible—maybe it was a combination of both.

No matter what Ogata's plan was, after eating the porridge that Ogata delivered spoonful by spoonful at a leisurely pace, A-Machi's flustered heart did unknowingly calm down a little— —Of course, it’s just a matter of stability.

Grabbing the bowl that A-Ming had just brought back, Ogata said softly in a helpless tone:

"A-cho, don't be so excited, what if the wound is involved?"

"The shogunate army is outside right now, and this is a critical moment of life and death." A-cho said, "Can I not be in a hurry?"

Having said that, Ah-Ming paused.

The expression on the face became complicated.

"...The reason why I am so eager to discuss with you how to break the situation is partly because of you, Ayi."

"Me?" Xu Fang revealed doubts.

"...Don't take me for a fool."

A-Machi pursed his lips, looked straight at Ogata, and met Ogata's eyes.

"You told me before: You have thought about how to break the situation after encountering the situation of 'before my body recovered, the shogunate came'."

"But I already saw at that time that you were lying to me completely. You just made up such a lie to comfort me. You didn't think of any way to break the situation after encountering this situation."

The expression on Ogata's face froze.

"No matter what I say, I'm the one who has slept with you for such a long time." A-Ming continued, "I've figured out some of your little habits."

"You can lie without blinking your eyes when you're lying to someone."

"But only when lying to me, the eyes will subconsciously dodge and dare not look at me."

"...Do I still have such a habit..." Ogata smiled awkwardly, and touched his left eyelid with his hand.

A-Ming: "I knew you were trying to comfort me at that time, so I didn't expose you to your face, but cooperated with you."

"It's because I know that you have no way to break the situation now, so I am anxious to discuss with you a way to make both of us safe and sound..."

Ogata listened quietly, and then slowly lowered his hand touching his eyelids.

"...Since you have seen through everything, then I won't hide it anymore."

Ogata smiled apologetically at A-Machi.

"You're right. At that time, I really didn't have any way to break the situation after encountering such a dangerous situation."

"It's just a lie made up to make you feel at ease and recuperate."

"but--"

Ogata's words suddenly changed.

"It's not that I haven't done anything these days except take care of you."

"In the past few days, whenever I have free time, I have used this time to think about what to do if we are really trapped by the shogunate army."

"I was really empty-headed before."

"But after thinking about it for several days, I now have a... maybe a way to get out of this predicament."

For some reason, Ogata paused halfway through what he said just now, and showed hesitation.

Hearing Ogata's words, A-Machi's face showed a faint expectation: "What method? Tell me quickly and listen."

Ogata: "..."

Ogata didn't answer right away.

Instead, he remained silent with hesitation on his face.

Looking at Ogata with a hesitant expression on his face, A-Machi felt a slight ominous premonition welling up in his heart.

After a moment of silence, Ogata suppressed the hesitation on his face, and said slowly:

"It is impossible for us to surrender to the shogunate army. They were attacked by Ogata Isai just a while ago. When they suddenly saw a young samurai who was similar in age and figure to Ogata Isai in this kind of place, they would definitely attack us. Round after round of inspections."

"Red Moon Fortress faces the river on three sides. The north, west, and east sides are adjacent to the broad river. Only the south side is connected to the land."

"And the Red Moon Fortress has only one gate connected to the land in the south."

"Now the only entrance to the south has been blocked by the shogunate army...The only way to get you out is to drive away the shogunate army outside the city..."

Before Ogata finished speaking, A-Machi widened his eyes and said sharply:

"Are you crazy?! You want to repel the shogunate army outside the city?!"

"...I know it's difficult." Ogata said softly, "But I've thought about it——except for this method, there is no other way to get you out of here."

"What the hell are you thinking?" A-Machi's face turned red with excitement, his chest heaved violently, and he said unceremoniously to Ogata, "It's because I successfully entered the barracks and killed the man who seriously injured me. Have people given you too much confidence?"

"Assassinating someone in the barracks, and repelling an entire army—you know the difference in difficulty between the two... um...!"

Before he finished speaking, A-Ming suddenly showed pain, and raised his hand to cover his wound, which was being wrapped in layers of sackcloth.

Ogata's move startled Ogata.

"A-cho, what's wrong?" A-cho asked urgently.

...

...

The meeting—again went nowhere.

After Upanu proposed to surrender directly, some of the original "main escapee" people became "main surrender".

Those who originally advocated escaping were originally a group of people who felt that there was no chance of winning against the Heren army-some of them changed into "surrender factions", which was expected.

So - the original battle between the "Main Fighter faction" and the "Main Fighter faction" has become a battle between the "Main Fighter faction" and the "Major Surrender faction".

The "main combat faction" headed by Retannoe did not back down - and the same was true of the "main surrender faction" headed by Upanu.

Chanup, on the other hand, was as usual—not disclosing his stance.

People from the two factions fought so hard that they blushed and their necks were thick, and they were exhausted.

Because people from both factions are exhausted, the meeting can only be suspended temporarily and will be resumed tonight.

As soon as the meeting was suspended, Chanup was one of the first to leave the house.

After Chanup left, several people who were sitting next to Retannoe and who were members of the "main combat faction" with Retannoe sighed:

"Chanup... What the hell is he doing... When has this been? Why hasn't he said anything? Does he want to fight or surrender?"

"Well... I can understand Chanup... After all, his position is there, so he must be cautious in his words and deeds."

"We need the leadership of Chanup...he has been so silent now, what should we do..."

"Huh. In my opinion, it's just that Chanup is intimidated. He neither dares to fight nor surrenders, so he just dragged on. The original 'hero' who led us to find and build this new homeland, I have also become timid and cowardly..."

Lei Tanuoye has been quietly listening to the words of the people around him.

Listen quietly - and then walk away without a glance...

...

...

Chanup walked home with his bong in his pocket.

He didn't choose to walk on the main road, but chose to walk on a small path with few pedestrians—because now he doesn't want to be surrounded by his clansmen, and they ask "what should they do".

Right now, he doesn't know how to answer this kind of question...

Just when Chanup was about to return to his home, he suddenly heard the voice of an old acquaintance behind him:

"Chanup."

Chanup stopped, turned his head and looked back, and looked at the acquaintance who stopped him—Raitannoe.

Retan Noe walked towards Chanup with a blank expression.

"Chanup. What are you doing?" Retannoe said directly to Chanup without exchanging greetings with Chanup, "The reason why you keep not expressing your thoughts like this is to how?"

"Do you want to fight Kazuto to the death, or do you want to bow down to Kazuto like a coward-can't you just say it?"

Chanup smiled wryly, and subconsciously wanted to raise the bong in his hand to smoke—but just after lifting the bong, he realized that he hadn't lit a cigarette, so he had to put down the bong he had just raised embarrassingly.

"...I am in charge of the whole Heyezhe now." Qianup said slowly, "I must be cautious in this kind of danger involving the life and death of the tribe..."

Before Chanup finished speaking, Retannoe suddenly interrupted Chanup:

"...Chanup, you seem to be really old."

After all, the emotions contained in Retannoe's gaze towards Chanup became...complicated.

Chanup, who didn't know why Retannoe suddenly jumped the topic so abruptly, was stunned for a while, and responded in a half-joking tone:

"I'm human too, so of course my hair turns gray and my face gets wrinkles."

"I'm not saying you look old." Retannoe, "I mean your heart seems old."

"It's... not like the 'hero' from before."

The expression on Chanup's face became dumbfounded again.

Retannoe then went on to say:

"Ten years ago, when several of our tribes had to move south to find a new home due to the deterioration of the climate, every time I think about the experience of moving south, I break out in a cold sweat."

"Blizzards, wild beast attacks, no food, looting from other villages... We have been hit one after another."

"Even I, there were times when I couldn't help feeling hopeless that we might be done for."

"But every time people were down, you stepped up and cheered everyone up."

"You seem to never know what fear is. Whether you encounter a snowstorm or a food shortage, you always show a bold and fearless expression, encouraging everyone to move forward and directing everyone to move forward. In the end, you successfully led us and found This new home."

"You look forward and backward, hesitating now, and you are no longer the heroic hero you were 10 years ago."

From just now, Chanup buried his head lower and lower.

At this moment, Chanup's head was so low that Retan Noe could only see the twirling hair on top of his head.

"Chanup."

Retannoe said word by word.

"Witness a home at risk from hungry wolves."

"To see this new home that took so much sacrifice to find will be overrun."

"You really don't feel anything?"

"Do you really feel nothing at all?"

Having said that, Retannoe took a deep look at Chanup in front of him.

Then quickly turned and left.

It's also a coincidence.

Because Chanup had buried his head low just now, Retannoe didn't see—after what he said just now, there was something in Chanup's pair of pupils that had been dim these days. A faint light emerged.

...

...

As soon as the meeting was suspended, Upanu also immediately walked out of the room.

As soon as he walked out of the house, he immediately heard footsteps behind him - looking back, it was a middle-aged man.

This middle-aged man was exactly the middle-aged man who had been firmly advocating running away and fighting against Lei Tanuoye and others before.

As soon as the middle-aged man ran to Upanu's side, he immediately said to Upanu:

"Upanu. You just said it so well. How can we waste our lives in a war that can't be won at all?"

For this person's praise, Upanu's expression remained the same, and he was unmoved by the middle-aged man's praise.

Raising the bong in his hand, he silently smoked a cigarette, then said slowly:

"It's a pity that Chanup has been slow to express his opinion, and people like Retannoe are stubborn."

The middle-aged man curled his lips: "People like Lei Tanuoye are really troublesome, no matter what they say, they won't listen..."

"...I've been thinking about it just now—Leitannoe and the others are dead-brained. They negotiated with each other like just now, and I don't know when they will persuade Leitanuoe and the others to agree to surrender."

Upanu said slowly.

"So I think we have to think of some ways to increase our momentum—and I just thought of a good way to increase our momentum."

"You came just in time. Can you do me a favor?"

...

...

Red Moon Fortress,

"...It's okay." Kunoya carefully inspected Ah-ding's wound several times, then nodded gently, "The wound is not torn."

After all, Kunoya changed her stern tone and said to A-Machi:

"Be careful, little girl. You can't do any violent movements now. If the wound is torn, it will be troublesome."

A-Machi: "I see..."

Just now, A-Ming accidentally pulled his own wound because of his agitation.

Although A-cho said it was fine, Ogata still chose to find Kunoya back and asked Kunoya to check A-cho's wound.

As soon as Ogata rushed out of the clinic, he ran into Kunoya who had just returned to the clinic after finishing his work with a pipe in his mouth.

After listening to Ogata's brief description of the situation, Kunoya immediately opened the sackcloth of A-Machi-fortunately, the result of the diagnosis was that the wound was not torn.

Kunoya took out a new sackcloth and bandaged A-Ming's wound.

While bandaging A-Ming's wound, he said to Ogata and A-Ming in a calm tone:

"It's scary out there now."

"I just went to follow up with a patient of mine who sprained his waist a while ago."

"In the middle of the follow-up visit, I suddenly received the news that Heren's army was calling."

"When I came back from the follow-up consultation, I saw many people maintaining order there. Please don't be afraid and let everyone go home temporarily."

"Someone is obedient."

"There are also people who choose to clash with these people who maintain order."

"Some people shouted loudly, 'What is there to be afraid of with people'."

"There are also some who are crying. I don't know what they are crying about."

Speaking of this, Kunoya laughed a few times as if she was amused.

"In the face of the incoming Kazuto army, everyone reacts differently—it's funny."

Seeing Kunoya's calmness, and even Xianxin's teasing appearance, Ogata couldn't help asking Kunoya:

"Kunoya, you are so calm. Aren't you afraid of the Japanese army outside the castle?"

"What's there to be afraid of?" Kunoya shrugged, "When trouble comes, just slowly find a way to solve the trouble."

"And—this kind of thing is nothing to panic about."

Kunoa winked at Ogata and smiled.

"Although I look like an ordinary doctor, I have actually experienced quite a lot of troubles."

"It's just 'coming with someone', it doesn't scare me."

Speaking of which, Kunoya just bandaged the wound for A-Ming.

"Okay. After this time, you have to pay attention, and don't make any overly violent movements."

Noisy.

At this time, there was a sudden noise outside the house.

Ogata, Atachi, and Kunoya all turned their heads to look outside the house.

"What's going on outside..." Kunoya frowned slightly, "Why is it so noisy... Is Kazuto showing off his force outside again..."

After all, Kunoya shook her head helplessly, then got up and walked out.

"I'll go outside to see what's going on."

Not long after Kunoya went out, she came back.

"What's going on outside?" Ogata asked.

"It's not a big deal." Kunoya shrugged while stuffing new tobacco into the bong in her hand, "It seems that the village head Upanu of Kapasi Village is going to give a speech, and then many people are attracted In the past, I just wanted to hear what that Upanu had to say."

Speaking of this, Kunoya sneered.

"That Upanu... I can roughly guess what the man wants to say."

"That guy... is like a bear with its eggs cut off."

"And the people who cut his eggs were the people from the 'Battle of Kunasili Menasi' three years ago."

"It's not difficult to guess what a guy who has had his eggs cut off by Kazuto will say in the face of the incoming Kazuto army."

Speaking of which, Kunoya just stuffed the tobacco into the bong, but because she took care of the weak A-Ding, she didn't light it, so she just drank the bong, and then continued:

"However—even though that guy's eggs were cut off, it's not impossible for them to grow back."

"It depends on who has the ability to make him grow back into eggs."
