I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

The awakening of the memory before coma, the scene in front of him, and the questioning of the nihilistic monk in front of him made Naosuke's face change slightly.

Before Zhizhou had time to say anything, Rushui, who was tied beside Zhizhou, shouted:

"Who are you guys?! What did you mean by that sentence just now?! Where is Xiao Hua? Did Xiao Hua get caught by you too?! Where is she now?!"

Like water like a cannonball, he spit out a lot of questions in one breath.

The exposed skin like water is green and purple. Especially his face, the left half of his face was swollen immediately.

Because of his age, Zhizhou's current strength is not as good as his son's.

As the strongest member of the Isshiki family, Rushui naturally withstood the most intense fire in the previous battle.

Before he was knocked down, he was attacked by seven men in black in one breath. These injuries on his body are proof of the intensity of the battle he endured just now.

As soon as Rushui's questioning voice fell, the nihilistic monk—that is, Lou Luo, tilted his head and turned his face to Rushui.

Then, he rushed to Rushui's front with a stride, and kicked Rushui's already swollen left cheek.

"Hmm~~" Lou Luo hummed happily, "Your posture...is really suitable for being kicked."

Zhi Zhou, Ru Shui, and Ah Shi were all tied to the pillar in a sitting position, so Lou Luo could kick the three of them in the head just by lifting his foot.

His kick just now was so powerful that it made a muffled "bang".

Naoki saw a blood-stained tooth being kicked out of Rushui's mouth, and streaks of light red liquid mixed with blood and saliva dripped from the corner of Rushui's mouth.

Ah Shi's exclamation and watery cry of pain sounded at the same time.

"You don't need to know who we are." Lou Luo slowly put down the kicked leg just now, "At the same time, you don't have any right to ask us any questions."

"The kick just now was a small warning."

"If you continue to speak at will, it will not be as simple as kicking out a tooth of yours."

"But I'm in a good mood tonight, so I'll take care of your love for your daughter and answer a question you just asked."

"That's right, your daughter Yishihua was also captured by us."

"You are really good enough to build a tunnel in your own house."

"Your daughter is also very good, she can run so fast with bare feet."

"I almost let her go to the execution office, but fortunately, my subordinates finally caught her back."

"When knocking your daughter unconscious and bringing her back, my subordinates accidentally hit harder, so your daughter is now receiving treatment in another place."

"But you don't have to worry. Your daughter's life is not in danger. She will probably wake up tomorrow morning."

Although Lou Luo said "you don't have to worry", his words were pure nonsense.

After hearing what Lou Luo said just now, Zhi Zhou, Ru Shui, and Ah Shi could not be indifferent, the faces of the three lost blood at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Where did Xiao Hua hurt?!" Ah Shi, who was eager to protect her, was struggling to break free from the chains that bound her body, and shouted, "Please let me go and see her!"

"Hey, didn't you hear what I just said?" Lou Luo glanced coldly at Ah Shi, "You don't have the right to ask us questions."

"I miss you as a woman, I will forgive you once."

"Next time you talk too much without my permission, I will not only teach you a lesson, but also punish your husband, and make your husband lose a few more teeth."

Lou Luo's words made Ah Shi's face pale.

Although he was extremely worried about Yisehua, Ah Shi could only hold back the worry, bit his lower lip tightly, and kept silent.

At this moment, Lou Luo slowly turned his gaze back to Zhizhou.

"So—let's go back to our original question."

"Answer me: Where is Ogata Itosai living in Osaka now?"

Naosuke stared in astonishment,

He looked at Lou Luo, and then at his son and daughter-in-law.

His head turned rapidly.

A question was solved - he knew why these people suddenly attacked their Yishi family.

Come for Ogata.

However, one question was solved, and more questions appeared——

Who are these people?

What do you want to find Mr. Yidao Zhai?

...

One question after another ran through Naoki's mind.

What concerned Naoshu the most was undoubtedly how these people knew that he had a connection with Ogata.

——I never told anyone: Mashima Goro is Ogata Itsuki.

——According to Xiaohua's temperament, she will absolutely never talk about this matter everywhere!

——Then these people... when, where, and how did they know that I knew Lord Yidaosai?

——Could it be possible... is there anyone who can recognize Master Itachisai with a single glance even if he has already covered his face...

Zhi Zhou was still racking his brains thinking, Lou Luo's voice sounded again:

"Don't waste your energy thinking about superfluous things."

Lou Luo seems to have seen through Zhi Zhou's thoughts.

"We have no grievances or enmities with you. It is purely because you committed evil and befriended that Shura that you ended up where you are today."

"I have always been too lazy to raise the butcher's knife for those who have no enmity with us and who have not worked for the Edo shogunate."

"So—as long as you answer my questions obediently, I can let your family be fine."

"Otherwise... just like what I said just now: I want to let my subordinates use your daughter-in-law and granddaughter to relax in front of your face."

Although Lou Luo was wearing the "Heavenly Covered Bamboo Hat" that covered his entire head, Naosuke could still feel the cold gaze from the few gaps for the wearer to see.

"...How could I know about that Ogata Ittosai."

Naoki said in a low voice.

"I never knew Ogata Yidaosai."

"...You don't know Ogata Yidao Zhai?" Lou Luo asked back.

"I don't know him." Zhizhou shook his head vigorously, "I don't know him at all!"

"Is that so... don't you know Ogata Yidao Zhai..." Lou Luo looked at Rushui and Ah Shi, "What about you two, don't you two know Ogata Yidao Zhai?"

Rushui and Ah Shi shook their heads quickly.

"I don't know! Did you arrest the wrong person! We never knew him!" Ru Shui shouted.

Ah Shi hurriedly agreed.

Unlike Naosuke who was talking nonsense, Rushui and Ah Shi really didn't know Ogata, and they didn't know that Mashima Goro was Ogata Itsuki.

"Don't you all know Ogata Yidao Zhai..." Lou Luo murmured, "I think——you should all know him."

"It's just that I accidentally forgot about it and can't remember it."

"Let me help you wake up your memory."

After finishing speaking, Lou Luo turned to look at a strong man behind him.

"Shengtaro Ito, didn't you tell me just now: Do you really like mature women like Miss Isshiki?"

"Give you a chance to allow you to enjoy this maturity."

Lou Luo's words immediately made the eyes of the strong man called "Shengtaro Ito" sparkle with joy.

"Can, is it possible?!" Ito asked in a cautious tone.

"Please, please wait a moment!" His face changed like water, and he said anxiously, "We really don't know Ogata Yidaosai! It is even more impossible to know where that person lives!"

Lou Luo ignored Ru Shui's yelling, and turned his head to look at the other subordinates behind him: "You guys should also have fun with Cheng Taro."

His words were like letting go of the shackles of a hungry wolf.

The group of people headed by Ito Chengtaro walked slowly towards Ah Shi while grinning grinningly.

Ah Shi screamed in horror, shouting and repeating "We really don't know Ogata Yidaosai" together with Rushui.

Naosuke's face...was filled with horror now.

He looked at the strong men who were getting closer to his daughter-in-law, and the hesitation in his eyes grew exponentially.

The torment of Zhizhou's mind is not over yet.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah--!"

The scream of his son Rushui suddenly reached Zhi Zhou's ears.

"How? Mental and physical pain, has your memory been revived by being stimulated? According to my memory over the years, no matter who suffered enough severe pain, many originals still shouted 'no such thing at all. "Things" memories will be fully revived."

While Lou Luo said this in a joking tone, he was holding a knife without a handle, drawing pictures on Rushui's face.

He first scratched Ru Shui's forehead horizontally.

Immediately afterwards, another slash was made longitudinally, from the watery left forehead to the corner of the left mouth.

Lou Luo's incision was very shallow, as long as he treats well, there will be no scars.

Although the wound is very shallow, the pain cannot be taken lightly.

Rushui, who really didn't know Ogata, was already using a pleading tone, repeating the sentence "We really don't know Ogata Yidaosai" for countless times.

The screams of his son, which kept coming to his ears, had already brought Naosuke's psychological defense to the verge of collapse.

And the voice that Zhi Zhou heard next, it can be said that Zhi Zhou's psychological defense line completely collapsed.

He heard... the sound of clothes being ripped open.

The two legs of the daughter-in-law Ah Shi were controlled by two people respectively. That Ito Chengtaro squatted in front of Ah Shi and cut Ah Shi's clothes with a wakizashi.

The sight in front of him, and the voices in his ears that Naoki couldn't bear to hear anymore made Naoki finally close his eyes in pain.

"Enough, enough!"

Naosuke's lips, which turned blue and purple at some point, trembled.

Lou Luo glanced at Zhi Zhou.

Then he stopped the hand that was drawing on Rushui's face, and raised his hand to signal Ito Chengtaro and others to stop.

Facing Lou Luo's order, Ito Chengtaro stopped the movements of his hands very obediently.

"It seems that someone's memory has been successfully revived." Lou Luo said in a joking tone.

Naoshu lowered his head, his trembling lips made his voice tremble with it.

"I... admit it. I know Ogata Ittosai..."

"But I really don't know where he lives!"

Zhi Zhou raised his head abruptly, and stared at Lou Luo pleadingly.

"I promise you with my life! I really don't know where he lives!"

"I beg you, please hold your hand high and let my family go."

After finishing speaking, Zhi Zhou lowered his head again, as if he wanted to kowtow to Lou Luo.

But because his body was tied to a wooden post, his forehead failed to hit the ground.

Lou Luo: "..."

Lou Luo, who was still holding the knife upside down, remained silent.

Zhi Zhou, who was waiting for Lou Luo to speak, felt that 1 second seemed as long as 1 year.

Lou Luo didn't make Zhi Zhou wait too long.

Zhi Zhou only waited for "10 years" before he heard Lou Luo say:

"...Then do you know about Ogata's whereabouts after Yidaosai?"

Zhizhou: "Huh?"

"Do you know where you will go after Ogata Issai? Or—do you know where you will go after Ogata Isai?"

Lou Luo walked slowly in front of Zhi Zhou, squatted down, and made himself at the same level as Zhi Zhou's eyes.

"For example: at what time and where will Ogata Yidao Zhai appear."

Lou Luo who suddenly approached in front of him made Zhi Zhou clearly see—behind this "sky-covered bamboo hat", there were two cold gazes like poisonous snakes.

"This……"

Lou Luo's question just now made Zhizhou's eyes flicker, and hesitation emerged from his pupils again.

"By the way—you don't want to talk nonsense."

Lou Luo added.

"If I find out later that you are talking nonsense to deceive us...then you will be punished not only by painting your son's face, but by using your daughter-in-law and granddaughter as excuses." A tool for the subordinates to relax."

These words made the hesitant look on Zhizhou's face thicker, but also showed a lot of pain.

Naoshu, who lowered his head again, was silent for a long, long time.

Zhi Zhou was not in a hurry, and silently waited for Zhi Zhou's answer.

Naoki clenched his teeth, and after a long silence—

——Master Yidaosai... I'm sorry... After the family members are safe... I assure you! I will definitely apologize!

After shedding a few invisible tears in my heart, the trembling voice sounded again in the dim room.

"One, Mr. Yidao Zhai's saber was seriously damaged, so a while ago, he sent his saber to a friend of mine for repairs."

"The time agreed upon by Mr. Yidao Zhai and my friend is..."

...

...

Lou Luo hummed a little tune, and walked out of the hut where Zhi Zhou and others were imprisoned.

Naoki and the others were imprisoned in an extremely remote abandoned hut in Osaka. This kind of place is genuine, "No one will save you even if you shout your throat."

As soon as Lou Luo stepped out of the hut, there was a petite figure who quickly walked towards Lou Luo—a woman with an extremely beautiful appearance and an outstanding temperament.

"Lord Lou Luo." As soon as he arrived in front of Lou Luo, this beautiful woman knelt on one knee and said respectfully, "I still haven't found Yishihua."

"Haven't found Isshika yet?" Lou Luo's brows were hidden under the "Tian Gai Bamboo Hat", "Hey, hey, finding people...haven't you Iga ninjas always been strong?"

"I'm very sorry, I'm the one who is incompetent." The beautiful woman lowered her head, and did not refute Lou Luo's complaint just now.

What Lou Luo said to Zhi Zhou and others just now, "Use your daughter-in-law and granddaughter as tools for relaxation", is actually completely deceiving them.

Lou Luo and the others didn't catch Yishihua at all.

After learning that Isshika escaped along the secret path of the house, Lou Luo immediately sent a large number of Iga ninjas to pursue.

Lou Luo originally thought that it would be easy for these elite Iga ninjas to capture a girl who didn't even wear shoes.

But who knows, that Yishihua hasn't been captured until now.

"Our people have ambushed around the execution office." The beautiful woman then added, "If Isshika is found around the Osaka execution office, we will immediately capture her back."

"...Although what I want to ask has already been asked by her grandfather. But according to information, that Isshika and Ogata Istosai have a very good relationship, and the two of them were talking and laughing in that so-called "big test match" Yes." Lou Luo said sternly, "That Isshika may hold some other information related to Ogata Yidaosai."

"Hurry up and bring back that Yisehua." Lou Luo ordered in a noncommittal voice.

"Yes!" The beautiful woman Gao declared "Yes".

After issuing strict orders to the beautiful woman, Lou Luo waved his hand, indicating that she can leave.

After the beautiful woman left, Lou Luo turned his head and said to Ito Chengtaro and the others who were following behind him, "Isshiki Naoshu and the others should be taken care of. Before confirming that Ogata Ittosai is dead, don't let any of them go." Get out of here alone."

Ito Chengtaro: "Yes."

"Also—don't do anything disrespectful to them unless they refuse to obey guard. It's not okay to grope on that Isshiki."

Ito Chengtaro's expression collapsed in an instant: "Can't even... touch that Isshiki's face and hands?"

"I promised them - as long as you answer my questions honestly, you won't do anything to them. The thing I hate the most is going back on promises."

"Yes..." Ito Chengtaro looked lost.

Lou Luo waved at them: "Okay, you guys go back to the house and take good care of Yise Zhizhou and them."

"yes……"

Ito Chengtaro led the people back to the house.

Surrounding Lou Luo, he was the only one left.

"...God helped me to wait." Lou Luo raised his head, looked at the starry sky above his head, and said slowly in a voice that only he himself could hear clearly, "The day when Ogata went to get the knife... and we launched The day of the Osaka Spring Formation...is actually the same day..."

...

...

This beautiful woman who just reported the progress of the mission to Lou Luo is now shuttling in a remote corner of Osaka.

As she walked forward slowly, she looked around with alert eyes, checking to see if anyone was following her.

She moved forward slowly in this extremely cautious way, and finally came to the gate of an inconspicuous wooden house.

"Mother-in-law." The beautiful woman knocked on the door, "It's me."

As soon as she finished speaking, a very old woman with a stooped figure slowly opened the door.

"You're back." The old woman said.

"Hmm. How is that woman?" the beautiful woman asked back.

"Sleeping soundly."

The beautiful woman took off the straw sandals on her feet and walked quickly towards the depths of the hut.

After turning a stride into a certain room in this house, a white figure came into the eyes of the beautiful woman.

This white figure is exactly Isshiki.

At this moment, the white bathrobe on her body has been neatly arranged.

Although she and her family were held in different places, their conditions were eerily similar—tied to a wooden post.

But Naoki and the others were roughly bound with iron chains, while Isshiki was tied with thin ropes, and the way of being tied was much gentler.

It's a coincidence that when the beautiful woman came to the room where Isshiki was held, she saw Isshiki's eyelids move.

Afterwards, I saw Yishihua slowly opened her beautiful eyes.

After waking up, Isshiki first looked around with confused eyes.

Immediately afterwards, the confusion turned into astonishment, and he stared blankly at the beautiful woman in front of him.

"Chuguang...Miss...?" With her mouth tied, she muttered out the name
