I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Only the sound of the wind blowing by his ears and his own footsteps remained.

"...It's kind of lonely."

Ogata muttered in a volume that only he could hear clearly.

Before parting from Kuranaga and the others, Ogata still didn't feel lonely.

After leaving Kurangaga and the others, feelings of loneliness unconsciously surfaced from the bottom of Ogata's heart.

The master, the senior brothers, Kuranaga, Tobizaru, Ichiro and the others...all the people Ogata knew well are no longer alive.

In this world, Ogata's only friends are Azaki, Afu, and... the knife in his waist.

Saki and Afu, in the foreseeable future for a long period of time, Ogata will not have the opportunity to come back to the Hirose Domain to meet Azaka and Afu.

In other words... the only thing left in this world is the sword at his waist to accompany him. No pop-up window when the ex comes to eat back

Ogata couldn't help raising his left hand, and pressed down on the Dao Dao Tan on his left waist.

"I don't know what lies ahead..."

Ogata grumbled again.

This time, his tone was no longer sad, but excited and expectant.

What lay at the end of the horizon ahead——Ogata didn't know.

He didn't even know whether he was going east or west now.

But Ogata didn't care about that.

After all - no matter which direction you go, you are moving forward. Just keep going forward.

The feet are full of vitality, and the eyes are shining with the unique drive of young people.

Ogata slightly pushed up the edge of the bamboo hat above his head, looking at the unreachable and completely unfamiliar road ahead. Misty rain on the Moshang also becomes a poem No pop-up window

With his left hand idly resting on the knife at his waist, Ogata walked along the winding country road, bathed in the sunlight pouring down from the sky.

The wind is sunny and the sky is cloudless.

at the same time--

Edo--

Somewhere in Edo, there is a magnificent mansion.

This mansion is not the home of some high-ranking official, but Edo... no, it is the residence of a famous yamen well-known throughout Japan.

Outside the gate of this magnificent yamen, there are two spring lanterns.

The family crest of the Tokugawa family, the family that ruled the whole of Japan, is painted on the lantern: the three-leaf sunflower pattern.

Next to the grand gate that can accommodate 8 people to enter side by side, there is a wooden signboard. A Slight Smile Is Very African Works Catalog

On the top of this wooden sign are five vigorous and powerful Chinese characters.

These five Chinese characters are the name of this well-known yamen.

At the same time, it is also a name that makes countless thieves in the world frightened - Huofu Thief Gai.

It was just after noon, and the entire Edo Castle was immersed in a lazy atmosphere.

However, Huofu Thief changed Yamen, but it was quite lively.

An official who was wearing the uniform changed by Huofu Bandit, while holding the knife at his waist, walked quickly to the Yamen changed by Huofu Bandit.

It was precisely because of the sudden arrival of this official that the atmosphere of Huofu Thief changing Yamen, who was also immersed in a lazy atmosphere, changed instantly.

The two officials standing outside the gate of the yamen and guarding the gate recognized who this man was rushing towards them in a hurry. Almighty master in the giants

This person is the chief of their Huofu Thief Reform—the right-hand man of Hasegawa Heizo: Imai Cheng.

After quickly rushing into the Yamen where Huofu Thief changed, Imai walked straight towards a certain place in the Yamen without any hesitation.

At this moment, a young male shouted suddenly from his side:

"Master Imai!"

Imai followed the prestige.

"It's Mr. Tangerine."

Tachibana Heitaro - the name of this young man who lives in Imai.

He is a newcomer who just joined their Huofu Thief Kai this year.

Although he is young, he has strong swordsmanship and ability to handle various cases, so he is highly valued by Imai.

Tachibana quickly walked to Imai's side, maintaining the same speed as Imai, walking side by side with Imai. Cultivation of Immortals: No pop-up window

"Master Imai! Why are you in such a hurry? Could it be that there are some troublesome bandits again?"

"That's right.

Imai said in a deep voice, "Mr. Ju, you came just in time. Let me ask you—is Mr. Hasegawa in the yamen now?" "

"Here!" Tachibana said without thinking. "But Hasegawa-sama is taking a nap now!"

"It's good that he's here. Ju-kun? Listen. You're going to start preparing for the journey right now."

"We're leaving for Kansai soon."

"Kansai?" Tachibana exclaimed, "Do you want to go so far away?"

"That's right. We're going to hunt down a thief... Let us pay the thief to change the headache for many years? I just received the latest information - that thief has been haunting Kansai recently." The latest chapter of Azure Sapphire

"Finally tracked down the trail of this thief? We must not let it go no matter what."

"The thief..." Tachibana became more confused.

He thought for a while, but he still couldn't figure out who the thief Imai was talking about was.

After all—they have absconded, and the officials they sent to pay the thieves to change are chasing too many thieves all over the world.

"Master Imai!" Tachibana asked. "Who is the thief we are going to pursue?"

"Get ready for the long journey first!" Imai said in a somewhat impatient tone, "I'll tell you later who we are going to pursue!"

"Yes Yes!"

Seeing that Imai didn't want to say more? Tachibana didn't dare to ask any more.

Imai, at a speed no less than running, quickly shuttled through the corridors they had changed for the thieves.

Finally—he stopped in front of a sliding paper door that opened onto a small courtyard.

Facing the paper sliding door, Imai knelt down on one knee.

Then--

"Master Hasegawa!"

Not too high-pitched? Not too low-pitched voice shouted at the paper sliding door in front of him.

After Imai's voice fell, a lazy voice unique to human beings when they just woke up sounded from inside the paper sliding door:

"It's Imai..."

"You came to me suddenly, what's the matter?"

"Master Hasegawa." Imai said in a deep voice, "We have traced... the trace of the 'Buddha Enemy'!"

As soon as Imai's voice fell, the sound of the quilt being lifted behind the paper sliding door sounded.

And... hurried footsteps.

call!

The paper sliding door in front of Imai was jerked open.

A middle-aged man in an ordinary brown kimono maintains the posture of opening the paper sliding door, with a sullen face and said:

"...Imai, report to me all the information you know so far."

"Yes!"

...

Omi area? In a certain mountain——

The mountains are the farthest places from humans.

However, in a certain mountain in the Omi area, a village was suddenly built.

But it would be a bit of a stretch to call this piece of buildings a village. Forensic ex-wife: Dong Shao, lightly wrap the latest chapter

Because this "village" does not have the vitality and popularity that human settlements should have.

Like an ice cube? Exudes a cold breath.

Occasionally, a few people shuttled through this "village", but all of them were expressionless and hurried. Whether it was the clothes on their bodies, their expressions, or their movements, they were far from the image of the mountain people.

In an ordinary wooden house in this "village", an old man with all the gray hair on his head was holding a scroll and reading it with relish.

"...It seems..." The old man suddenly said in a tone of self-talk, "The shogunate's purpose of concentrating all the serious criminals across the country in Kii... is much more interesting than I imagined."

"It's been a long time since I've encountered such an interesting thing, it's really itchy..."

After a few weird laughs, the old man casually threw the scroll in his hand aside.

"Come here." The old man shouted in a casual tone.

As soon as his words fell, a young man in black clothes and black pants jumped from the ceiling above the old man's head.

"Go and call A-Ming for me."

The old man said while stretching out his right tail finger to dig his earwax.

"I have... a very interesting task for her."

After all, the old man's one eye shone with a meaningful light.

The old man has only one eye, the right eye.

A huge scar was drawn vertically from his left forehead, across his left eye, and then stopped on his left cheek.
