I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

"I was a swordsman in ancient Japan ()"

Ogata's knife is not bad, there are only 7 or 8 gaps on the blade.

And his wakizasa is a bit horrible, just by visual inspection, the number of gaps on the blade is more than 10.

In a word-the two knives in Ogata's hands are in the state of "although they have not broken, but they are not far from breaking".

"I want to see how long you can last with these two broken knives in your hands!"

After saying that, Kazumi swung the big naginata in his hand again, and slashed towards Ogata.

...

...

Although A-Machi followed Ogata's order, he hid in a place far away from Ogata and Kazumi. But he didn't leave the 3rd floor, but huddled in a corner of the 3rd floor, watching the battle between Ogata and Kazumi.

Therefore—A-Machi, who has good eyesight, naturally noticed the two knives in Ogata's hands that were already covered with gaps.

Looking at the two dilapidated knives of Ogata, Amachi's face showed anxiety.

The first thought that came to A-Machi's mind was to support Ogata.

But as soon as this idea appeared in her mind, she was dismissed by herself.

Her iron cannon has been trampled by Kazumi, and there is no way to provide support to Ogata by long-range shooting.

Although there were still a few kunai tied around his waist, the pain from his right arm and left foot affected A-Ming's state.

Acho's kunai projection skills are mediocre.

Now Ogata is fighting with Kazumi, even in his heyday, A-Machi can't guarantee that his Kunai will definitely be able to shoot Kazumi while avoiding Ogata.

In the prime of life, I can't guarantee the accuracy of my Kunai, let alone in the current situation where my body has suffered a lot of injuries.

——Those two broken knives won't last long...

Ah-Ming anxiously thought to himself.

——If you want to break the "Monk", you must at least have a sword that can match the naginata of the "Monk"...!

Although A-Machi doesn't know much about swords, she can still tell at a glance that the big naginata used by Kazumi is not extraordinary.

After all, the quality of the naginata used by Izumi can be seen with the naked eye: after using the "top" just now, Ogata's sword has a lot of gaps, while Izumi's naginata is unscathed.

Because of the attack distance, Ogata was already at a disadvantage.

And now, due to the difference in weapon quality, its own disadvantages have further expanded...

- Need a new knife!

While A-Machi thought to himself, he struggled to stand up from the corner where he was hiding.

At present, the only place with a knife in this mansion should be the battlefield in the corridor on the first floor.

Although Ogata, Mamiya and the others might have used up all the swords stuck in the corridor, there should still be a lot of usable swords on the bodies of those dead shogunate soldiers.

It's just that the knives worn by these shogunate soldiers must be quite ordinary defective products...

In terms of quality, it may be similar to the two knives Ogata is using now.

——Is there no other better knife...

As he limped and ran towards the stairs, Ah-Ming couldn't help but pray in his heart that he would encounter one or two good-quality knives on the first floor.

At this moment, Ah-Ming only felt as if a lightning flashed across his mind.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered what Zong Hai had said to her and Ogata that night 2 days ago.

(The mentor cast a total of 2 knives, one Da Dao and one Wakizashi.)

(The mentor named the sword Da Shitian. The wakizashi was named Da Zizai.)

(After enshrining Da Shitian and Da Zizai in this ancestral hall for a period of time, they were given to his friends by the mentor.)

(Konnosuke also cherishes the two knives presented by his mentor very much.)

(Now these two knives should be treasured by Konnosuke.)

Memories, like bubbles spit out by a fish, kept popping up in Ah-Machi's mind.

As a result, Ah-cho's eyes gradually brightened.

The feet that were limping towards the stairs also became stronger as the light appeared in her eyes.

Because of walking too fast, Machi also fell to the ground several times.

Just like that, Acho stumbled down the stairs to the second floor, looking for Konnosuke.

All the villagers who were originally hiding on the third floor fled to the second floor because of Yichun's sudden attack.

After seeing Ah-ding going downstairs, all the villagers at the stairs turned their fearful and restless eyes on Ah-ding.

"Well...how is it going upstairs...?"

A villager asked Amachi tremblingly.

The sudden innocence really frightened them all.

However, Ah-cho ignored the villager's question, and asked the villager anxiously:

"Where is Konnosuke?"

"what?"

"Quickly answer! Don't dawdle! Where is Konnosuke?!"

"He, he is there..." A villager pointed to the other end of the corridor beside him, "But he..."

Before he had time to listen to the second half of the villager's words, A-Machi hurriedly ran in the direction the villager was pointing at.

Walking along this corridor to the bottom, A-Machi finally saw the figure of Konnosuke.

It's just... After seeing Konnosuke's figure, A-Machi felt as if a big rock was suddenly stuffed into his chest, and it instantly became heavy.

Because—although I saw Konnosuke.

But at this moment, Konnosuke was lying on the ground with his eyes closed.

The two people kneeling beside Konnosuke were acquainted by Atachi—the only maid in Konnosuke's house, and Matsumoto Kiyohito.

After the shogunate army launched a night attack on Fenghe Village just now, Matsumoto Kiyohito was very lucky to escape this wave of attacks by the shogunate army and hid in Konnosuke's mansion.

Matsumoto, who was kneeling beside Konnosuke, tied a white cloth to stop bleeding on Konnosuke's body with a solemn face.

As for the maid from Konnosuke's house, her eyes were red and she looked like she was about to cry at any moment.

"What's going on?" A-Machi asked Matsumoto anxiously, lying on Konnosuke's side, "What's wrong with Konnosuke?"

"Konnosuke has lost too much blood. He temporarily lost consciousness due to too much blood loss." Matsumoto said in a deep voice, "Although I have given him emergency treatment, he probably won't wake up for a while."

"Can't wake up?!" Ah Ding's beautiful eyes widened in astonishment.

"Hey! Konnosuke! Wake up! Wake up! I have an important question for you!"

"Miss A-Machi...it's useless." Matsumoto sighed lightly, "Although I don't know what you want to ask Konnosuke. But you can't wake Konnosuke up if you shout like that."

"Tsk..." After the anxious look on his face became a little bit thicker, Ah-cho turned his gaze to the maid beside him, "Since Konnosuke has lost consciousness, forget it!"

"You have worked in Konnosuke's family for many years, right?"

"I ask you! Do you remember the 2 knives!"

"It's the two treasured swords given to Konnosuke by Master Kyokai of Tenmanji Temple! Dashiten and Dazizao!"

"Knife...?" The maid's face first showed consternation and confusion, then as if she was slowly recalling something, the confusion in her eyes gradually disappeared, and a light appeared, "Yes, there is such a thing. Something happened."

"Master Kinnosuke, after receiving the two treasured swords from Master Jinghai, he stored these treasured swords in the storage room!"

"The storage room?" Ah-Ming screamed, "Is that the room with 3 big cabinets?!"

"Yeah." The maid nodded vigorously, "Master Konnosuke put those two knives in a certain cabinet in the storage room! But I don't know which cabinet to put them in..."

"Hmm..." After letting out an annoyed sigh, Ah-cho stood up, "...you come with me."

"Me?" The maid pointed at herself with surprise.

"That's right! It's you! Follow me to the storage room! If you don't come with me, I'll kill you! Matsumoto, Konnosuke, please take care of me!"

After saying this ruthless sentence, Ah-Machi limped and rushed towards the storage room on the second floor following his memory.

Ah-cho's intimidation just now played a big role.

The maid, whose face turned pale from the blatant threats made by A-Machi just now, stood up tremblingly, and followed A-Machi.

On the way to the storage room, you can see many villagers hiding in the corridor.

"Hey! You! It's you! Come with me!"

"Huh? What are you doing..."

"Don't ask so many questions! Just follow me!"

...

"And you! You come with me too! Don't ask me why! Just follow me!"

...

On the way to the storage room, Ah-cho called out the names of many villagers he met along the way and asked them to follow her.

Because at this time, Ah-Ming had a fierce appearance and an unquestionable tone, and his appearance was quite scary.

Those people whose names were called by Ah-Ming were frightened by Ah-Machi's appearance, like the maid, followed closely behind Ah-Machi tremblingly.

Before arriving at the door of the storage room, there were as many as six people following A-Machi, including the maid.

Opening the paper sliding door of the storage room, the 3 large lockers and more than 200 cabinets and barrels immediately came into sight.

Looking at the more than two hundred lockers in front of him, Ah-Ming couldn't help feeling his scalp go numb.

But she recovered immediately, gritted her teeth, and shouted to the maid and others behind her:

"Help me open all the cabinets and barrels here, and help me find 2 knives! A samurai and a wakizasa! Move fast!"

After that, Ah-cho rushed to the locker closest to her first, and pulled out the bucket at the bottom left corner of the locker—it was empty.

After throwing the empty cabinet aside with annoyed face, A-Machi raised his hand to touch another cabinet next to him.

"What are you still standing there for?" After pulling out the second bucket, A-Ming shouted impatiently at the maids and others who were still standing there, "Hurry up and help me find the knife!"

Hearing Ah Ding's roar, the maid and others finally stepped into the room belatedly, and ran to the various places of the three lockers, looking for the places of Da Shitian and Da Zizai one by one .

This is the reason why A-Ming asked the maid and others to follow her—to ask these people to help her find the knife.

When he first infiltrated Konosuke's mansion, Ah-machi visited this storage room once, and knew the approximate size of the storage room.

It is also because of this that Ah-cho chose to recruit 6 helpers instead of 7 or more people. With the size of the storage room, a maximum of 7 people including her can only be allowed to rummage in it. Looking for things, if there are too many people, they will start to hinder each other due to crowding.

— Hurry up! Hurry up!

While A-Ming anxiously used his uninjured left arm to rummage through the barrels in front of him, he secretly prayed in his heart that he could see Da Shitian and Da Zizai in the next barrel.

Even though he was on the second floor, Ah-cho could still hear the sound of fighting from the third floor...

And the constant fighting sounds from the ceiling above his head made A-Ming even more anxious.

Ah-cho couldn't tell whether his left arm, which was rummaging through the cabinet, was trembling from the pain of wounds all over his body, or from anxiety...

...

...

"You kid is really kind..."

Kazun casually kicked away a wooden table at his feet that had been smashed by her just now, and said to Ogata in front of him.

"The first time I saw you, I saw that your condition was not good."

"Before you fought me, you should have fought many people, right?"

"He still dared to confront me when he was in poor physical condition. And he still fought with me until now."

"I can't help but praise your courage and strength."

As soon as Yichun's voice fell, Xufang frowned slightly, using a displeased tone.

"Shut up, it makes me sick to hear compliments from people like you."

"A person like me?" Yichun raised his eyebrows, with a meaningful expression on his face, "It's wrong for you to say that."

"What is 'my kind of person'?"

"Aren't you the same as me?"

"You think I can't see it?"

Speaking of this, Yichun's eyes froze.

"When I first saw you, I not only saw that your physical condition was not good."

"And see that you are like me—a man with blood on his hands."

"This is probably the induction between the same kind."

"How many people have died at your hands?"

"One hundred? Two hundred?"

"According to my estimation, it should be about two hundred, right?"

"You and I are both executioners who have killed countless people. You and I are the same kind. Why do you have the face to ask me 'your kind'?"

"Shut up!" Ogata shouted in a deep voice, "Don't compare me with people like you!"

The reason why I listened quietly to Yichun talking so much nonsense just now was purely to buy time to adjust my physical condition and even my breathing.

At this moment, Ogata, who had adjusted his physical condition, no longer hesitated as soon as the voice fell, and raised the two swords in his hand and rushed towards Kazumi.

call!

The battle started again, and Kazumi swung the big naginata in his hand, and slashed at Ogata who was rushing towards him.

Looking at the oncoming naginata blades, without changing his mood, he jumped to the side with both feet, nimbly dodging the slash from Yichun, then turned the blades of the two knives in his hands, and stabbed towards Yichun.

"Cut..." Facing the two knives stabbing towards him, Kazumi's face sank, and he stepped back quickly, widening the distance between himself and Ogata, trying to avoid Ogata's stab hit.

--This guy……

Yichun couldn't help but said in a deep voice in his heart.

——I am getting more and more used to fighting people with long weapons...
