I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Popular recommendation:

"Mr. Hasegawa...the two of us really have a very special fate."

In the carriage compartment, Ogata looked at Hasegawa who was sitting in a strange posture because of his injured leg.

In the not-so-spacious compartment, there were only three people, Ogata, A-machi, and Hasegawa.

Reunited with Hasegawa again in Koyasan—it would be inappropriate not to speak a few words to this person who has had a wonderful fate with him who has been "on and off" with him so many times.

Therefore, Ogata just entrusted A-cho to help bring Hasegawa to the compartment where they can talk.

With no outsiders here, Ogata can finally "recognize" Hasegawa with confidence.

"Every time I say goodbye to you, I feel that this should be the last time I meet you." Hasegawa was also full of emotion at this time, only to hear him sigh silently, "It turns out that every time I can see you in a strange way." A place and a strange time to meet you again..."

Ogata smiled slightly, then put on a serious look and tone.

"Mr. Hasegawa, Mr. Isshiki and the others, as well as the old monk, please take them to a safe place."

"Hmm." Hasegawa's expression became serious at this time, "Leave it to me. This is my vocation as the leader of Huofu Bandit Kai."

"It's ready to go at any time!" Asai's voice sounded at this moment. .

"Oh..." Hasegawa sighed heavily, then raised his hand to touch his injured leg, "If the leg is not injured... I really want to go with you..."

"Let Edo become like Butterfly Island... just thinking about it makes people feel restless..."

Hasegawa's face was terribly pale now.

Just now, when Xuanzheng spit out the words "Renzhu" and "Edo Battle", when Ogata asked Xuanzheng what they meant, Xuanzheng only responded with a very simple sentence——

"If you explain it slowly... it would be too time-consuming. Do you know Butterfly Island? Simply put, it is to make Edo like Butterfly Island, and to make Edo like Butterfly Island, you need to use Renzhu .Sinking the pillars of people into the water of Kanda, where the Edo people live, will make Edo like Butterfly Island."

The "old monk with goatee" who didn't know what Butterfly Island was and those subordinates of Hasegawa looked puzzled.

But Ogata, Genichi, Hasegawa and the others changed their expressions drastically.

Without any further discussion.

They quickly made up their minds - rush to the dock and chase Toyotomi!

The pursuers are naturally Ogata, Yuanyi and the others.

Hasegawa, who was already injured, fled to a safe place with his subordinates, Isshiki's family, and the old monk with the goatee.

Asai had already shouted "the train can start", and Hasegawa tactfully walked under the car.

However, just as Hasegawa was about to leave the carriage, his body suddenly stopped.

"...Ogata-kun."

Hasegawa turned his head slowly, and looked directly at Ogata.

Before Ogata had time to ask "what's the matter", he heard him say:

"After leaving Koyasan, I will use all my strength to deal with Toyotomi as much as possible."

"Before that, please... you must stop that Toyotomi Nobuhide. You must not let Edo become like Chojima..."

"Please..."

After finishing speaking, Hasegawa bowed his waist towards the "National Most Wanted Criminal" in front of him, and solemnly saluted Ogata.

After saluting Ogata, Hasegawa slowly left the carriage.

After watching Hasegawa leave with a somewhat dazed gaze, the corner of Ogata's mouth slowly pulled out a helpless arc.

"This time... I was really involved in a terrible incident..." He murmured in a voice that only he could hear clearly.

Yuanichi and the others boarded the carriage one after another.

After confirming that everyone has boarded the car and that no one is missing, Asai shouted "Go\

,"Then he shook the rein in his hand.

The painful horse raised its two front hooves, shouted "Recovery" a few times, and then pulled the carriage behind it and ran forward.

However——just as the carriage started, a figure suddenly jumped out from the curb in front of the carriage, and stood right in front of the carriage.

Shocked, Asai hurriedly stopped the carriage, and then looked intently - the person standing in front of him was the "old monk with goatee" who had been lying on Ogata's back just now.

The carriage that Ogata was riding in was exactly the one that Asai was driving.

Ogata, who wondered why Asai stopped immediately as soon as he started it, poked his head out of the car.

Seeing the "goatee old monk" blocking the car, Ogata was startled: "Master, what are you doing?"

"Please take me with you!" shouted "Old Monk with Goatee". "No matter what, I want to see with my own eyes who dares to desecrate Koyasan!"

Seeing the "goatee old monk" who was so stubborn that he didn't look back at Nanshan, Ogata couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, and then deliberately shouted in a vicious tone:

"Sir! The place we are going to next is not your place to go! If you really follow us, you might die!"

"Please get out of the way!"

"If you don't get out of the way, we will knock you away!"

If it is true as Xuanzheng said—the two ships, Rihuimaru and Huluwan, will soon carry Xiaolin and set sail for Edo, then now is really a time to race against time.

Ogata, who didn't want to spend too much time on "persuading the old monk to leave", quickly stepped aside in order to persuade the "old monk with goatee" and directly issued a naked threat to the "old monk with goatee".

"Hey..." As soon as Ogata's threatening words just fell, Asai, who was in charge of driving, couldn't help but whispered to Ogata behind him, "Don't be kidding... I won't drive a car to run over an innocent old man... ..."

"It's just to scare him. I'm not cruel enough to be violent to an innocent old man." Ogata responded in a low voice.

Ogata wondered if his threat just now had worked, he saw a thoughtful look on the face of the "old monk with goatee".

Immediately afterwards, after a while, the "old monk with goatee" stood silently back to the side of the road without saying a word.

Seeing that Shunli ordered the "old monk with goatee" to step aside, Ogata couldn't help but let out a long breath.

Omo winked at Asai, then Asai nodded understandingly, and he raised the rein again, driving the carriage straight forward.

The carriage driven by Shimada followed closely behind.

Hasegawa stood where he was, watching Ogata and the others go away.

"Master Hasegawa..." After Ogata and the others left, one of Hasegawa's subordinates silently walked up to Hasegawa's side and asked, "Before, what did that old man say about making Edo look like a butterfly?" Island like'... what does that mean?"

"Also—are we going to let Ogata Isaito and Mamiya Kurō leave just like that...?"

Hasegawa took a deep look at his book.

"...We can't take care of Ogata Ittosai and Mamiya Kurō now."

he replied.

"So many people have been injured on our side, and there are people who need our protection."

"At any time, the priority of protecting the safety of the common people is higher than arresting thieves."

"Besides, with our current number of people, it is impossible to catch those two people."

"In short, move the people and the wounded to a safe place now."

"The rest will be discussed later."

After finishing speaking, Hasegawa turned his head and counted the number of people.

His subordinates - not a single one is missing.

Isshiki's family - there is no shortage of them.

The "old monk with the goatee" - hmm...?

Hasegawa opened his eyes, and hurriedly looked around.

"Hello!" Hasegawa hurriedly asked the subordinates beside him, "Where's the old monk with the goatee? Have you seen him?"

The subordinates, who were belatedly aware of it, hurriedly cast their inspection gazes around.

The "old monk with goatee" who was just standing in the middle of the road swaggeringly to stop the car, disappeared at some point...

...

...

Lin saw many pictures that were sealed deep in her mind, appearing and dissipating before her eyes one by one.

Looking at the scenes that kept flying in front of her eyes, Lin instantly understood - she must be dreaming now.

Knowing that she is dreaming now, Lin can't wake up no matter what.

It was as if his body was being tied to a chair, his limbs could not move, and he could only watch the memory pictures stored in his mind pop up in front of his eyes.

Among the constantly appearing and disappearing pictures, only one scene remained, and then slowly solidified, and finally condensed into a specific scene.

Lin could tell at a glance: this was the hillside where she used to play when she was a child.

It was not until after her grandmother and mother passed away that she left her hometown with Yuan Yi and went out to make a living.

Before that, she had been living with her family in a remote village in Satsuma.

The poor life when she was young, on the contrary, sharpened Lin's willpower.

With this tempered will, as well as her efforts, talents and opportunities, she built the gourd house in a very short time.

In essence—Lin didn't live such a bitter life since she was born.

Before her father died and her elder brother took all the belongings of the family and ran away from home, although Lin's life was not rich and well-clothed, she was still well-fed.

On weekdays, I even have time to play on a small hill not far from home.

Looking at the hillside in front of me, looking at the extremely familiar plants and trees in front of me... Lin guessed that her gaze must be quite soft.

This is her childhood paradise.

It is also a "treasure" that she cherishes very much until now.

However, just as Lin was looking at this treasure land that meant so much to her with nostalgia, out of the corner of her eye she suddenly caught a glimpse of a petite figure that made her open her mouth involuntarily.

She saw herself.

She saw herself who was two sizes smaller than her current self, running towards a certain dead tree on the hillside with the unique "bouncing and tapping" footwork of children.

--etc……!

Lin's pupils shrank suddenly after seeing this scene.

--this is……!

She recalled it suddenly.

Looking back...it was when she was 4 years old..."that incident".

Stop, don't go there—Lin subconsciously wanted to warn "Little Lin" who was still running towards the dead tree.

But she found that she couldn't make a sound.

She couldn't move her body either.

She can only...like a spectator, watching "Xiao Xiaolin" rush towards the dead tree, towards the boy who was squatting under the dead tree.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

"Xiao Xiaolin" asked the boy crisply.

The boy raised his head and showed a gentle smile to "Xiao Xiaolin".

"A stinky cat scratched me just now, so I'm trying to teach him a lesson."

"I was just about to see if a cat would still be cute after being skinned."

After speaking in a natural and comfortable tone, the boy moved his body to the side to give enough space so that "Xiao Xiaolin" could see clearly what he had been tinkering with just now.

Under the boy's body was a kitten that had been skinned from the head, only half of the skin was skinned.

The kitten has only half of its body and fur left.

Only the bloody body remained in the upper half of the body.

When the boy stepped aside, the furless face of the kitten happened to be facing "Little Xiaolin".

The kitten's eyes, which had lost any expression, happened to meet "Xiao Xiaolin"...

At this point in the dream, the scene in front of him began to blur and distort.

When the dream was shattered, the last voice Lin heard was the scream of "Little Lin"...

...

...

"Ok……"

Lin murmured softly, and slowly opened her eyes.

——I am...?

Just waking up from a dream, Lin, whose mind was still in chaos, scanned her surroundings with blank eyes.

[To be honest, I have been using Mimi to read and update books recently, switch sources, read aloud with many timbres, and both Android and Apple are fine. 】

She found herself in a slightly dark room now.

There is almost no furniture, only some simple furniture such as tables and cabinets.

Lin subconsciously wanted to move her body.

But after moving her hands and feet, she suddenly found that she couldn't move.

Hastily looked down - she was tightly tied to a European-style wooden chair.

The upper body is tied tightly to the back of the chair.

Two legs of the lower body are tied together with two chair legs respectively.

The only thing that can move on the body is the area above the neck.

The memory before falling asleep quickly flashed in Lin's mind at this moment.

Invited by Yukimura, who is almost a half member of her gourd house, to go to Yukimura's house alone for a dinner...

Before I had eaten a few bites of food, a large group of unknown people with guns rushed out...

Due to the surprise attack, she was unable to make preparations in time, coupled with the large number of enemies, all armed with artillery, and the terrain was also very unfavorable to Lin, so even though she had launched a counterattack immediately, she was still outnumbered. Knock down, stun.

When I wake up again... it is now.

——Where is this place? ! What about Gamiya and the others? !

At this moment, Lin noticed that there was a window on the wall not far from her.

She stretched her neck hard, trying to look out the window along the window.

However, due to the lack of body height and limited angle, Lin stretched her neck a little, and she couldn't see the scene outside the window.

But—although she couldn't see the scene outside the window, she could smell the smell and the sound coming from the window.

She smelled the salty smell of the sea.

She heard the sound of waves lapping on the shore.

——I am... at the seaside?

Lin was just astonished at the fact that she was at the seaside now——

"Oh, Xiaolin, you're awake."

"Because I think you should be about to wake up, so I've been waiting here, waiting for you to wake up."

"Looks like I've been waiting right."

These words... No, it should be this voice, as if it has some magical power over Lin.

Lin felt her nerves... numb at this moment.

The pupil zooms to the size of a pinhole at this moment.

As if she couldn't wait to know the truth, she suddenly turned her head to look in the direction of the male voice just now.

Just now, because she just woke up, her mind was still in a state of chaos, her sanity was not clear, and the room was rather dark, so Lin didn't realize until now——a young man was sitting in an inconspicuous corner of the room.

With a gentle smile on his face, the young man slowly got up and walked towards Lin.

Seeing this young man who was getting closer and closer to her, Lin was terrified at first, and then the horrification on her face slowly turned into anger as if seeing an enemy.

"Xinxiu...!" Lin gritted her teeth and squeezed out the young man's name from between her teeth.

"Xiaolin, long time no see." Toyotomi Nobuhide said softly, "We haven't seen each other for... how many years?"

Lin, as if wanting to stay away from Toyotomi Nobuhide, struggled a few times with her body tightly bound to the chair.

"I knew you would not be honest after you woke up." Toyotomi Nobuhide continued to smile, "So I tied you up first."

"Don't struggle. You can't break free."

"So that's how it is..." Lin raised her head, her gaze seemed to wish she could immediately pick up a knife and kill Toyotomi Nobuhide, "Are those iron gunners who suddenly appeared and knocked me out all yours? !"

"That's right." The smile on Toyotomi Nobuhide's face became stronger, "The whole process of catching you...was much easier than I imagined."

"...Where is this place?"

Lin's originally rapid breathing gradually calmed down, and her body stopped struggling.

The ferocious eyes staring at Toyotomi Nobuhide had calmed down a lot.

But - when she looked at Toyotomi Nobuhide, the disgust and hatred in her eyes didn't change much.

"Oh..." Seeing Lin who regained her composure so quickly, Nobuhide Toyotomi exclaimed in a low voice, "As expected of my sister, Nobuhide Toyotomi, she recovered her composure so quickly."

Toyotomi Nobuhide glanced at the next window.

"We are on my battleship now. And here is the room I live in."

"Battleship?" Lin was startled.

"Battleship: Nikki Maru." Toyotomi Nobuhide raised his hand and patted the wooden wall next to him, "In order to get this Nikki Maru and the Gourd Maru next to it, I almost smuggled my family property accumulated over the years. Hollowed out."

"However—it's worth the money."

"What do you want to do?!" Lin's voice became agitated again uncontrollably, "Suddenly caught me and brought me to the ship, what are you going to do?!"

"I don't want to do anything." Toyotomi Nobuhide slowly knelt down at this time, so that his eyes were on the same level as Lin's. "I just suddenly missed you and wanted to see you, so I..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lin:

"Shut up! You don't even believe such words!"

Lin gritted her teeth, the flames of hatred in her eyes were burning.

"If you are really such a sentimental person, why would you take away all the belongings in the house before you ran away from home, and never returned home?"

"Oh..." Nobuhide Toyotomi raised his hand and scratched his hair with a smile on his face, "Xiao Lin, I can't believe that you haven't seen each other for so many years, and you still haven't changed at all... Once you talk to me , so aggressive."

"Okay, then I won't be joking."

Toyotomi Nobuhide put down his hand that was scratching his hair.

"After a while, the ship will set sail eastward and head for Edo."

"The moment my second ship arrives in Edo Bay, that's when my 'Edo War' will start."

"Edo...to fight?" The blood on Lin's face faded uncontrollably, "Are you... going to attack Edo?"

Toyotomi Nobuhide nodded with a smile: "I've been waiting for this day...but it's been too long."

"Are you crazy?!" Lin subconsciously shouted.

Lin knows exactly what kind of big city Edo is.

With a clear understanding of the scale of Edo, Lin subconsciously equated attacking Edo with going crazy.

"I'm not crazy." The smile on Toyotomi Nobuhide's face showed a hint of meaning, "I'm absolutely sure of winning Edo."

"Ah, it's a rare opportunity. Since you are my sister and you are going to make a huge contribution to my 'Edo War', let me show you something... a good thing that I haven't shown to a few people. "

"That thing just happened to be stored in my room."

After all, Toyotomi Nobuhide got up and walked to a small cabinet next to him. After fiddling in the small cabinet for a while, he took out a small brocade box.

There is a small but extremely complicated lock hanging on the brocade box.

Toyotomi Nobuhide took out a small key from his pocket and unlocked the brocade box.

Holding the brocade box with the lid uncovered, he walked slowly back to Lin and showed Lin the contents of the box.

As soon as her eyes swept into the brocade box, Lin's body couldn't help shaking slightly in shock.

I saw that inside the brocade box... was a young woman's head.

The young woman, with her eyes closed, looked peaceful and seemed to be asleep.

"What is this?" Lynn asked subconsciously.

"This one..." Toyotomi Nobuhide's face slowly showed complacency, "This one is the head of Eight Hundred Bhikkhunis."
