I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Still looking calm, Mamiya silently crossed his hands into Haori's sleeves.

"It's your casino that doesn't keep its integrity."

Mamiya asked softly.

"How come it seems like we were wrong now?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Another guard responded rudely, "This is what gambling halls are like! Do you have any opinions?! You bastard ruined our business, so use your life to compensate us! "

The four guards who surrounded Ogata and Mamiya from four directions tightly gripped the knives in their respective hands.

The atmosphere at the scene instantly became tense and murderous...

Ogata, who had no expression on his face, silently stretched out his hand towards his left waist...

at this time--

laugh!

The sound of a sharp weapon piercing into flesh resounded beside Ogata.

Mamiya, who was kneeling on the futon in peace and stability, suddenly exploded.

The moment he got up, he used the sword drawing technique!

Obviously Jian Gong's movements were so fast, but there was no sound when the blade was unsheathed.

The blade swept towards the casino guard closest to him at a suffocating speed.

The blade swept across the guard's vitals, spilling a lot of blood.

After beheading the guard with a suffocating sword drawing technique, Gamiya did not stop.

Dance with sword light 3 times.

The sharp blade slashed at the other three guards at different angles.

First, a horizontal slash opened the throat of a guard.

Then switch from a horizontal cut to a diagonal cut, from a guard's left shoulder to his right belly.

Finally, he cut the last guard to the ground with a thrust.

A neat 4 knives.

Every knife accurately hit the vital points of these guards.

After all the 4 guards are dealt with,

Only then did Jian Gong let out a soft "ah" as if he remembered something.

"Ogata-kun."

Mamiya looked at Ogata.

"Sorry, you shouldn't blame me for not leaving two people for you, right?"

"...No." Ogata cast a helpless look at Mamiya, "How could I blame you for such a boring thing..."

"It's fine if you don't. There is a guy in my companion who loves to fight. If he were you, he would have been making a lot of noise by now, complaining that I didn't leave a few people for him."

As Mamiya spoke, he swung the knife in his right hand downward vigorously, shaking off the blood attached to the blade.

Then he turned his head and looked at Hu Zhen and Zhong Basin who were terrified and slumped on the ground.

"Hey, let me ask you."

Gamiya raised the Dao in his right hand and pointed the tip of the Dao at Hu Zhen.

Just now, when Jiangong cut the barnacle in half with a sword drawing technique, it also cut Hu Zhen's right little finger.

But Gamiya didn't cut off Hu Zhen's right tail finger, but just cut off the flesh of Hu Zhen's right tail finger.

"Both of you should be from the Negishi family, right? Where is the base camp of the Negishi family?"

As soon as Jian Gong's words fell, Hu Zhen, whose face was already covered with tears and snot, immediately said in a crying voice:

"I don't know! I'm not from the Negishi family! I'm just a person hired by the Negishi family to roll dice! I don't know where the Negishi family's headquarters is!"

Gamiya turned his head and looked at the middle basin.

"What about you, do you know where the base camp of the Negishi family is?"

"I don't know!" Zhongpen shook his head quickly, "I'm just a person hired by the Negishi family! I'm not from the Negishi family!"

After listening to the two people's answers, Mamiya sighed with a little helplessness.

"Mamiya." Ogata asked Mamiya, "Do you think what these two people said is true?"

"It should be true." Mamiya said softly, "I don't think the two of them dare to lie to me in the face of the threat of death. It seems that the two of us came at a bad time, and there is no manager of the Negishi family right now. In the casino."

After listening to Mamiya's words, Ogata also sighed helplessly:

"That is to say——is our two trips to the casino this time in vain... What should we do next?"

"...Anyway." After being silent for a while, Mamiya said, "Leave here first. We have made such a big commotion, and Tatsuno Fan's harmony and strength will come soon."

"Before the grievances with the Negishi family are resolved, I don't want to be entangled by Tatsuno Fan's power and unity."

After finishing speaking, Jian Gong once again turned his gaze to Hu Zhen and Zhong Pen.

"There is no enmity between us."

Jiangong said softly to the pot vibrator and the middle basin.

"But if you two are kept alive, it may leak the existence of the two of us to Tatsuno Fan's Yuli and Tongxin."

"If Tatsuno Fan's Yuli and Tongxin know that the guy who killed the guards of these gambling halls is a samurai wearing glasses, it will bring a lot of trouble for the two of us in the future."

Hearing Jian Gong's words, the faces of Hu Zhen and Zhong Pen turned pale in an instant.

The two hurriedly cried out:

"No! I won't tell Yu Li and Tong Xin anything!"

"I'll keep it a secret! I won't tell Yu Li and Tong Xin anything about the two of you!"

...

However—no matter how much the two cried and shouted, Mamiya remained expressionless and unmoved.

"Remember my face. If you become a ghost after death, remember to come to me and ask for your life. I will kill you two again."

After all, Mamiya swung his sword twice...

...

...

"Ogata-kun, let's go."

After wiping off the blood and fat on the blade with the pocket paper that he carried with him, and putting the knife back into its sheath, Mamiya said this to Ogata while walking towards the outside of the casino.

And Ogata also followed Mamiya expressionlessly, and left the bloody gambling hall one after another with Mamiya.

After walking out of the casino, the refreshing air immediately rushed over.

After getting used to the turbid air in the casino, Ogata now only feels that the air outside smells particularly comfortable.

"What should we do now?" Ogata asked Mamiya.

"Let's go to Matsumachi."

"Matsucho?"

"A small town in the Tatsuno clan. If you walk from here, you can arrive just before dark."

"Let's stop here for today. Go to an inn in Matsumachi and rest for the night, and then go look for information on the Negishi family tomorrow."

After all, Mamiya took the lead in walking towards the north with both feet.

After hesitating for a while, Ogata followed.

The two walked side by side at the same speed.

Without saying a word, the two left Karamoto Village.

After leaving Karamoto Village, Ogata suddenly asked Mamiya beside him in a calm tone that was neither salty nor light:

"Miya, who are you?"

As Ogata spoke, he silently pressed his left hand on the knife handle on his left waist.

Mamiya replied without thinking, "It's just an ordinary ronin."

"The swordsmanship you used just now, as well as the neat way of beheading people, are not ordinary at all."

Ogata clenched his left hand resting on the knife and knife a little bit...
