I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Yesterday, it was agreed that we would explode 8000 updates today, but there was a little accident today. I don’t know if it was because of the recent cold weather in Guangzhou. The author was unable to fall asleep yesterday. He finally fell asleep at 4 o’clock in the morning. I only got up in the afternoon.

The author still has something to do tonight, so the insomnia last night directly led to the fact that there is not much time left for writing today, so I can’t write 8000 words today. Please allow me to release the update until tomorrow, and the author will update it tomorrow 8000 (leopard head crying.jpg)

*****

*****

Goosebumps popped up all over my body.

Cold sweat was oozing.

The fingers that were pulling out the fire pocket and lead wires in his arms froze.

In the next moment, she turned her head suddenly, and looked at the old man sitting behind her with her pupils shrunk down like pinholes.

The old man leaned on a short gun that was only an inch longer than the knife, and his whole body was made of steel. He sat on a powder keg with a big horse and a golden knife, watching with calm...or indifferent eyes. Chuguang.

He was obviously just sitting in a very ordinary posture, but Chu Guang felt as if there was a big mountain standing there.

Since when... the figure of this old man made me feel like an insurmountable mountain. .

Since when... the figure of this old man carved an indelible fear on his body.

Ah yes.

The old man is her adoptive father.

The old man is her teacher.

The old man was the one she hated the most.

The old man was the person she was most afraid of.

After meeting the old man's indifferent gaze, Chu Guang finally seemed to wake up from a dream, his pupils zoomed back to normal size, he jumped back two steps, distanced himself from the old man, and pulled out his back Waist gap.

"Jijiu...!" Chuguang squeezed out the old man's name through clenched teeth.

"Nice movement and posture." The old man...or Ji Jiu, leaning on a short spear, stood up slowly, "As expected...the closed-door disciple I have devoted all my energy to cultivating."

Boom!

Jijiu stepped on the ground, and his body turned into a long stretched afterimage. In an instant, he appeared in front of Chuguang, and then stabbed Chuguang with a gun.

Chu Guang seemed to have anticipated Ji Jiu's sudden attack in advance, and jumped to the side with a sullen face, avoiding the point of Ji Jiu's spear.

"Hey... did you hide it... I thought that after playing a musician in Osaka for so long, your reaction would become dull."

Jijiu turned the gun body, held the gun with one hand, and launched a new, continuous onslaught on Chuguang.

Wow!

The door of the ammunition depot was jerked open at this moment.

The four ninjas who were in charge of guarding the ammunition depot finally opened the door of the depot to check the situation inside the depot after hearing the abnormal noise coming from the ammunition depot.

After seeing Jijiu and Chuguang fighting with Jijiu, the four of them first showed astonishment, and then subconsciously wanted to rush up to help Jijiu, but Jijiu sternly shouted:

"Everyone back down! Get out of here!"

Under Yoshihisa's training, almost all the ninjas in Iga have developed the instinct to obey Yoshihisa's orders.

After hearing Ji Jiu's loud shout, the four ninjas immediately retreated obediently to the door of the ammunition depot like wind-up toys.

"Come on, Chuguang. Let us, master and apprentice... come and have a long-lost contest."

As soon as the words fell, the stabbing speed of Jijiu's spear sharply increased several steps.

Just now, Chu Guang, who was barely able to rely on footwork to dodge Ji Jiu's attack, now completely lost the power to parry.

After more than a dozen rounds, Chu Guang's body was cut with several shallow or deep wounds.

The sharp pain coming from the wounds all over his body made Chu Guang's eyes slowly show a stern look.

She clenched the knife in her hand and tried to fight back.

But after meeting Ji Jiu's eyes, most of the fierceness in Chu Guang's eyes disappeared.

The memory fragments of the past, when meeting Jijiu's eyes,

Yu Chuguang's eyes flashed quickly.

The indifferent face, the ruthless words, the merciless training, the strength that makes it hard to imagine that it can be defeated by human power...

Together, these fragments of memory make up fear.

Fear of Ji Jiu.

A fear like a rabbit's instinctive fear of an eagle.

This fear made Chu Guang stop in his tracks and break out in a cold sweat every time he wanted to launch a counterattack against Ji Jiu.

call--!

Ji Jiu suddenly turned his gun into a whip, and slammed the iron gun barrel at Chu Guang.

His blow wasn't powerful, but it was extremely fast, so fast that Chuguang couldn't avoid it.

In desperation, Chuguang could only stand up the Wakizashi in his hand——

clang!

The blade and the barrel of the gun collided heavily into one piece.

Strength was not Chu Guang's forte as a daughter.

So the result is naturally obvious.

Unable to withstand Yoshihisa's attack, Chuguang, holding the baited knife, flew backwards a few steps before falling back to the ground.

At this time, her Wakizashi had been smashed into a strange shape, and her arms were trembling continuously as if in spasm.

"Tsk..." Chuguang threw away the useless Wakizawa in his hands, hugged his trembling arms, struggled to stand up from the ground, and stared at Jijiu with vicious eyes.

Although Chuguang stared at Jijiu quite ferociously, a bit of fear could still be vaguely seen in the strong ferocious look.

"I thought...you have the guts to rebel against me, it must be because you have overcome your fear of me..."

Jijiu held his gun upside down and walked slowly towards Chuguang.

"I didn't expect you to be the same... It's disappointing to see me frightened..."

"Okay, Chuguang, the winner has been decided."

"Surrender simply, in this way, it will be good for both of us."

"As far as personal feelings are concerned, I actually don't really want to fight you anymore."

"After all, you are like a daughter to me. It still makes me feel very heavy to confront my daughter with a sword."

"daughter……?"

The word "daughter" seemed to turn on a switch on Chuguang's body, causing Chuguang's expression to freeze for a while.

Immediately afterwards, she clenched her teeth, and squeezed out a sharp roar like metal friction from between her teeth.

"You regard me as a daughter? Are you really ashamed to say such a thing?!"

Chuguang suddenly stretched his right hand into his bosom, and took out a fire pocket from his bosom.

While taking out the fire folder from his pocket with his right hand, Chu Guang pushed the lid of a gunpowder barrel beside him with his left hand.

Chuguang's series of actions finally changed the expression of Ji Jiu, who had been calm and indifferent since just now.

He immediately made a wrong step, dodging in front of Chu Guang at the highest speed he could achieve.

Chuguang subconsciously wants to stay away from Ji Jiu, but her speed is still far behind Ji Jiu.

She just had time to take half a step back when she was pushed to the ground by Ji Jiu.

"Do you want to detonate the gunpowder here directly, and die together with me...Hmph."

Ji Jiu let out a low laugh.

"Only your talent and your determination can give me a very high evaluation..."

...

...

Like a puppy, Ji Jiu dragged Chu Guang, who was now tied up with hemp rope, towards his "command room", which was also the room where he lived tonight.

Chuguang wanted to stand up several times, but because Jijiu's footsteps were too fast and his movements of dragging Chuguang were extremely rough, Chuguang couldn't stand up for a long time, so he could only be dragged by Jijiu with his back on the ground As he spoke, the skin on his back was so painful.

Naturally, he met many of his subordinates along the way.

Seeing Ji Jiu who was dragging Chuguang like a puppy, all these subordinates showed doubts and puzzlement, but none of them dared to step forward and ask "what happened".

After a while, Ji Jiu dragged Chuguang back to the currently empty "command room".

"...Chuguang." Ji Jiu threw Chuguang into the middle of the room, causing Chuguang to fall heavily to the ground, "I detain you for 'treason', do you have any objections?"

Chuguang did not respond to Jijiu's words.

At this time, Chu Guang was no longer like before, with a fierce light shining out of his eyes.

She just sat up straight from the floor silently, and then looked at Ji Jiu with calm eyes.

"...It seems that there is no objection."

"Chuguang, I...have a lot of questions to ask you..."

Ji Jiu walked towards Chuguang slowly, then squatted down in front of Chuguang, and stroked Chuguang's hair with gentle movements.

"Chuguang, why...why did you betray me? Is it to...revenge me for forcibly separating you from your family and forcing you to become a member of Iga?"

Boom boom boom!

At this time, noisy footsteps sounded outside the "command room".

As the door was slammed open with a bang, the woman with two knives on her waist hurriedly walked to Ji Jiu's side.

"Hey, Jijiu, I just heard about it! You dragged a ninja like a puppy! What did this ninja do?!"

"Lao Furen." Ji Jiu said slowly, "This is what I told you just now, 'If you stay here, you might meet some interesting things'..."

"One of my most valued subordinates has really betrayed me, and plans to ignite the gunpowder in the ammunition depot and blow us all to death."

"Hey, Jijiu, is this the interesting thing you just said?" The woman's face sank, "My subordinates betrayed me—how interesting is this kind of thing?"

"Huh? Don't you think it's interesting?" Ji Jiu said slowly, "The closed disciple who was carefully cultivated by himself, and the person who pinned the hope of revitalizing Iga on him, was betrayed."

"Huh? Are you out of your mind? Can this kind of thing be fun?"

While Mrs. Lao was looking at Ji Jiu with a look of imbecility, Chuguang lowered his eyes to look at the hemp rope that tied him tightly, and then raised his eyes to look at the two demons in front of him. people.

"...Did you already know that I have betrayed you? That's why you specially set up a trap to catch me tonight."

"Chuguang..." Ji Jiu turned his gaze back to Chuguang's body, then raised his hand again and continued to caress Chuguang's hair, "Sure enough, I shouldn't expect you to listen to me obediently..."

"Your inference is wrong."

"I didn't know long ago that you had betrayed."

"I didn't believe you had betrayed until just now, after I saw that you planned to blow up the entire Longshui Temple."

"Before that, all I knew was that you acted suspiciously."

"Hatsumitsu, I am the current leader of Iga no Sato."

"Every move of everyone in Iga no Sato can't escape my eyes."

The strength of Jijiu's stroking Chuguang's hair suddenly increased a lot.

"I have noticed that you are acting suspiciously long ago."

"After realizing that you acted suspiciously, I immediately sent someone to investigate you."

"As a result, no matter how you search, you can't find any strong evidence that you have betrayed."

"Generally speaking, when there is such a situation where no problem can be found, there are only two possibilities."

"One: There is nothing wrong with this person, he is not a traitor."

"Two: This person is a good material for a spy, and he is good at hiding himself."

"As far as personal feelings are concerned, I sincerely hope that you are the former. It's because I waited too long. You didn't betray us."

Jijiu's movements of stroking Chuguang's hair became gentle again, and his tone of speech became softer.

"You are a perfect piece of jade with unparalleled talent."

"In order not to let your raw jade get dusty, I will do my best to teach and train you personally."

"I believe that with your talent, as long as you train strictly, you will be able to become a key figure in the revival of Iga in the future, so I took the meaning of 'beginning light' and renamed you 'Chuguang'."

"No matter what... I don't want you to betray Iga no Sato, betray me..."

Ji Jiu's movements of stroking Chu Guang's hair became rough again, and his tone became low again.

"My feelings for you make me not want to doubt you."

"But my intuition tells me that there is indeed something wrong with you."

"Since we can't find out the problem from you, let's try to let you show your feet."

"My adoption of you for so many years is not for nothing."

"I know your character clearly."

A warm smile like the sun slowly bloomed on Ji Jiu's face.

"You are a passionate, unrestrained and bold child."

"I reasoned on the premise of 'you have betrayed us and want to kill us'."

"If it were you, what method would you use to kill us?"

"So it occurred to me—if you had the chance tonight, you'd probably come to make use of the gunpowder stored here."

Chuguang's eyes, which had been looking at Ji Jiu all the time, flickered slightly at this moment, and there was a little bit of astonishment in the depths of the pupils.

"Lighting the gunpowder in the ammunition magazine and sending us all to heaven—this kind of thing is completely in your character."

"So before tonight's battle officially started, I decided - to successfully complete all the tasks assigned by Toyotomi-sama, and at the same time find out 'Are you a loyal or a traitor'."

"After the task of 'paralyzing the administrative capacity of Osaka Prefecture' was basically completed, I began to set up a bureau."

"When the 'heralds' have no mission, they can only stay in a few fixed places, and their actions are far less free and convenient than going out to find Ogata Yidaosai."

"So the reason why you, who were originally a 'herald', joined the search for Ogata Yidaosai is just to make you more free and convenient to move, and to make it easier for you to show your feet."

"...I see." Chuguang gritted his teeth, "You sent half of the reserve force to search for Ogata Yitosai, is it also to lure me into a trap?"

"Oh, Chuguang, you made a wrong guess again."

Ji Jiu "hummed" with his nose, and let out a mocking sneer.

"It's true that I transferred half of the men from the reserve force to strengthen the team searching for Shura."

"After all, it is more important to complete the task assigned by Mr. Toyotomi than to confirm whether you are loyal or traitor."

"Reduce the defensive strength of the formation and increase the success rate of getting you hooked—this is just a matter of convenience."

"Tonight... I've always been very nervous."

The strength of Jijiu's stroking Chuguang's beautiful hair increased again... In terms of strength, it can no longer be regarded as stroking the hair, but more like "stroking the hair hard".

"While guarding against any possible attacks by you, I secretly prayed in my heart that I would not see you commit any acts of betrayal."

"I really hope... those reports against you, as well as my intuition, are all wrong."

"But the result presented before my eyes...is so disappointing..."

Ji Jiu violently exploded! And grabbed Chuguang's hair, and lifted Chuguang up!

"How could you betray me?!!"

Ji Jiu, who usually looks calm, now his eyes are tearing apart, and a deep roar comes from his throat.

"You are my proudest work! My most proud disciple! How could you betray me?! Why did you betray me?!"

"I gave you everything I can give you!! I gave you the best treatment you can think of!! I can't wait to give all the knowledge in my mind! All the experience! All to you! Why do you even want to betray me?!"

"Why do you want to betray me?!"

The woman who was standing beside her looked at Ji Jiu with astonished eyes.

This is the first time she saw Ji Jiu showing this appearance...

Click, click, click...

The sound of hair snapping sounded at an increasing speed.

The hair that was pulled by Jijiu was broken one by one, and the small piece of scalp that was pulled was lifted up in a strange way, as if the scalp would be torn off in the next moment.

The hair was torn off abruptly - Chuguang couldn't help but let out a low cry of pain from the severe pain, and some tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

However, even though the pain felt like the scalp was about to be torn apart, Chu Guang still endured the severe pain, opened his eyes that were tearing instinctively, and stared at Ji Jiu without the slightest timidity.

"Ask me...why...betray you...?"

The corner of Chuguang's mouth curled up in a mocking arc.

Even though she couldn't speak smoothly due to the severe pain, she still said in a firm tone:

"Such a simple question... still need to ask?"

"Working under a...disgusting old man like you...it's hard not to feel betrayed...!"

"Why do you regard me as...a daughter...!"

"Your feelings for me... are nothing but pathological possessiveness!"

"...I have done so much for you, but you have always regarded me as an enemy..." At this moment, Ji Jiu's face unexpectedly showed...a bit of loneliness.

And then—the last hair broke.

Chu Guang, who was missing a piece of hair, fell back to the ground.

"...You probably have accomplices too, right?"

Ji Jiu's face returned to calm at this moment.

He threw away the hair that had been pulled out from Chu Guang's head casually, and then continued:

Chu Guang ignored Ji Jiu.

"I guess even if you have accomplices, you probably wouldn't say it." Ji Jiu put his hands behind his back, "Now I invite you to go to the temporary prison to spend the night."

"I will personally use the torture that we have passed down from generation to generation in Iga to you in the future, and let you tell all your accomplices."

"Ha." Chu Guang raised his head and cast a naked mocking look at Ji Jiu, "Then I'm really scared."

"Jijiu, the days when you can still be arrogant and proud are probably the only days left."

"One day, you inhuman lunatics will be killed!"

"One day...then I'm really scared." Jijiu imitated Chuguang's tone just now, shrugged, "Then I want to see this 'one day', when will 'final' be?" ..."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Suddenly, people screamed from outside the room.

Not a scream.

It was screams one after another.

These screams made the expressions of Ji Jiu and Mrs. Lao change at the same time.

"What happened?" the brandishing woman exclaimed.

When Ji Jiu was about to step out of the room to check the situation outside, the door of the "command room" was slammed open.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

A male ninja rushed into the "command room" in a hurry.

"Master Jijiu! There are enemies coming!"

"Enemies?" Ji Jiu's face sank, "How many enemies are here?"

"Come, come..."

The ninja hadn't finished speaking——

Boom!

The door behind him exploded open.

A ninja flew upside down from outside the room and crashed into the door. After smashing the door, he continued to fly into the room, and then bumped into the ninja who was reporting the enemy's situation to Jijiu. The two "flyed" in mid-air ", hitting the wall hard before stopping.

In the "command room", Ji Jiu, Luo Furen, and Chu Guang looked at the door that had been opened by a special method with different expressions——

"Oh... finally found someone who looks decent."

"Master Yuan, I am on the left, and you are on the right."

"It's a reasonable distribution."

Two figures slowly emerged from the dust created by the smashed door.

These two figures are one old and one young.

One is over 60 years old, and his left and right hands each carry a Wakizashi and Taidao with dark red handles.

The other was in his early 20s, wearing a pair of glasses, and the knife in his hand was shining with a purple glow.

Although the two men were different in age and the way they held their swords, they had one thing in common.

There was a strange light in the eyes of both of them.
