I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

"That year, my brother and I were only 17 years old."

"How can young people of this age withstand the temptation of 'becoming a warrior'?"

"My brother and I accepted the big man's offer without any hesitation."

"And that big man didn't lie to us, he really changed our household registration to samurai, and made us the capital of Kyoto."

"My brother and I have changed like this, from Yakuza to samurai, to Kyoto's Yori."

"So—from the perspective of household registration, I'm actually a samurai." Mucun smiled wryly and shrugged, "It's just that this household registration is fake."

"After becoming Yuli in Kyoto, my career has been smooth sailing."

"After 5 years in office, I had to leave Kyoto 2 years ago due to some incidents."

"After leaving the capital, and under various chances and coincidences, he was taken in by the Calabash House, and then worked for the Calabash House until now."

After quietly listening to Mucun's narration of the past, Ogata said softly:

"Makimura...you are also a person with a lot of stories..."

"Every member of the Gourd House has a story." After responding to Ogata's words in a half-joking tone, Mucun said seriously, "Brother Ogata, you plan to go to the Gourd House after we are guests. Kyoto is looking for clues about the master-student pair, right?"

"That's right." Ogata nodded without thinking.

"In this case, if you have any questions about Kyoto, you can ask me now." Mucun grinned, "I have also stayed in Kyoto for 23 years."

"In terms of understanding of the capital, there may be few people in the world who can surpass me."

According to Mucun's words, at this time, the three of them just washed their bodies and started to head towards the bathing pool.

The huge pool is only used by the three of them - it has to be said that this is a different kind of enjoyment.

"Ogata-kun." Mamiya, who had soaked his whole body in the pool, pointed to his neck, "Can the wound on your neck touch the water?"

"No problem,

It has started to scab over. "

When parting from Konnosuke and the others, Ogata got some medicine for the knife wound from Sokai, and he has been applying the medicine on time these days.

With 23 points of vitality combined with this fairly effective medicine, the injury on Ogata's neck recovered at a rapid speed.

Now that the wound has scabbed over, it should be back to normal soon.

It's a pity that this piece of flesh and blood is still dark purple, declaring to Ogata: the poison of immortality is still in your body.

After immersing the area below the neck in hot water, Ogata continued the conversation with Makimura just now.

"About Kyoto, I don't have anything in particular that I want to know..." Ogata smiled wryly.

"That's it...then let me give you a suggestion."

"After you come to our gourd house as a guest, if you rush to Kyoto without stopping, you should be able to catch up with this year's Gion Festival in Kyoto."

"Gion Festival?" Ogata asked doubtfully.

"The Gion Matsuri in Kyoto——a huge festival with a history of nearly a thousand years. Brother Ogata, you should know about it, right?"

"Yes. But not much."

"The Gion Festival is the busiest time of the year in Kyoto." A faint look of memory appeared on Mucun's face at this time, "No matter men, women or children, they will take to the streets and make a fuss to their heart's content."

"There are mikoshi parades, and there are Yamahoko parades..."

"You can see men and women in yukata and geta laughing everywhere on the street."

"If you go to Kyoto and can't take a look at this grand Gion Festival, that would be a very regrettable thing."

"Gion Festival..." Ogata chewed on the term, "If it can catch up with the Gion Festival in Kyoto, I'd be happy to go and see it."

"It's a pity..." Mucun sighed softly, "Even if you really catch up with this year's Gion Festival, Brother Ogata, you shouldn't be able to see any bustling scenes."

"Huh? Why do you say that?"

"Because of the fire at dawn." Jian Gong on the side answered abruptly at this time.

"That's right." The smile on Mucun's face gradually subsided at this time, "After suffering this level of fire, Kyoto must not be fully recovered yet."

After hearing Mucun's words, Ogata's expression involuntarily became serious.

The big fire at dawn—Ogata still knew about this sensational fire.

The Tianming fire happened two years ago, in the 7th year of Tianming, in 1788 AD.

In this year, one of the largest fires in history occurred in Kyoto.

It happened to be a strong wind at that time.

The wind borrows the power of the fire, and the fire borrows the power of the wind. The fire quickly got out of control in this all wooden city.

The fire raged in Kyoto for 2 days before it finally stopped.

According to the official statement released after the Edo Shogunate: The fire destroyed 36,797 houses, 201 temples, and 37 shrines in Kyoto.

Burnt buildings accounted for 80% of the total number of buildings in Kyoto.

There are different accounts of the number of casualties. The official statement released by the Edo Shogunate is 150 people-but any fool knows how it is possible to die so few people under a fire of this scale.

The cause of the fire, according to the official statement, started in an empty house on the outskirts of the city, and the cause of the fire has not been ascertained.

This fire that burned 80% of the houses in Kyoto is called "Tianming Fire" by the world.

Although the Tianming fire did not completely destroy Kyoto, it was almost the same.

Only two short years have passed since the Great Fire at dawn—in such a short period of time, it is naturally impossible to completely rebuild Kyoto and recreate the glory of Kyoto in the past.

Ogata has already made preparations to see ruins everywhere when he arrives in Kyoto...

...

...

After the three of them took a bath, Zhang San's subordinates just prepared the clothes and horses for the three of them.

Ogata's set of clothes from Hirose Fan to the present has long been tattered. After getting new clothes, this tattered set of clothes was ruthlessly abandoned by Ogata.

I don't know whether Zhang San's subordinates did it on purpose or not. The new clothes they found for Ogata were exactly the same color as his old one.

Black hakama and tabi socks, dark blue kimono, and light-colored haori.

Looking at this new set of equipment that was exactly the same color as his old equipment, Ogata couldn't help showing a helpless smile.

After changing into clean new clothes, the three Ogata, led by Josan's men, came to the outskirts of Okawacho.

The reins of the three horses were tied to a big tree in a small forest on the outskirts of Okawa-cho. The saddles and stirrups of the three horses have been tied.

"Master Mamiya, Lord Mucun."

Zhang San's subordinate made a "please" gesture to the three horses.

"Please accept!"

"Thank you very much." After saluting this person with a smile, Jiangong walked towards the three horses.

The horse that Mamiya chose was the one that seemed to have the strongest temper.

Those fierce horses kept snorting and pawing the ground non-stop.

After seeing Ogata and others approaching, it kept neighing and roaring towards Ogata and others who were approaching it.

"I'm sorry." Zhang San's subordinate showed apologetic expression, "At present, there are only these three horses that we can ride here, and there is no more docile horse."

"It's okay." Gamiya waved his hand, "That's fine."

After all, Jiangong just came to the side of the fierce horse.

With a neat turn, Mamiya rolled onto the back of the fierce horse with an extremely beautiful movement.

After Jiangong sat on its back, the fierce horse neighed immediately, which made the eardrums tingle.

While neighing, he kept jumping and throwing himself, trying to throw Gamiya off his back.

But at this moment - a miracle happened.

Facing the fierce horse that wanted to throw himself on the ground, Mamiya pulled the rein in his hand with a special force expressionlessly.

The mouth kept chanting the strange onomatopoeia of "Duoduoduoduoduo".

After a while, the extremely irritable horse under Jiangong's crotch gradually calmed down.

After Jian Gong mounted the horse, Mu Cun also randomly picked a horse.

The temperament of the other two horses seemed to be much more docile. After getting on the horse in Mucun, the horse under his crotch neither ran nor jumped, and only snorted a few times.

Although both Mamiya and Mucun can ride horses, Ogata can still tell at a glance-not to mention the horse training skills of Gamiya, but in terms of riding skills, Mamiya surpasses Mucun by a lot.

Mamiya's waist and legs are very relaxed while riding on horseback, while Mucun's back and legs are tense.

"Gamiya, you must have learned horsemanship and horse training somewhere before, right?"

"You're right. I used to learn horsemanship and horsemanship in the Shinano area. Get on the horse, Ogata-kun. We're going on our way."

"I don't know how to ride a horse..." Ogata slowly leaned towards the last horse with anxiety.

"Don't worry." At this time, Zhang San's subordinate said, "That horse has the most docile temperament. Even if you don't know equestrian skills at all, you don't have to worry about being thrown to the ground by that horse!"

"Ogata-kun, don't worry." Mamiya also said at this time, "We will teach you step by step. Horsemanship is not difficult, and you will be able to master it soon."

Knowing that the temperament of the last horse was very docile, Ogata calmed down a little.

Stepping his left foot into the left stirrup of the horse, he turned over and climbed onto the horse's back, imitating the appearance of Jian Gong and Mu Cun just now.

Just like what Zhang San's subordinate said just now - the temperament of this horse is indeed docile, even if there is an extra person on its back, it looks well-behaved, neither noisy nor noisy.

"Tighten the reins." Mamiya rode the horse to Ogata's side, "Then lightly tap the horse's belly with the heel of his right foot."

Ogata obediently followed Mamiya's instructions.

After the right heel tapped the horse's belly lightly, the horse under Ogata's crotch immediately neighed in a low voice, and then galloped forward with Ogata on its back.

Ogata, who was not prepared for the sudden advance of the horse, let out a low exclamation, and almost fell off the horse's back.

"Remember to hold on to the reins." Mamiya smirked a few times, then lightly knocked on the belly of the horse under his crotch, and chased Ogata ahead.

"Teach me how to ride a horse..." After letting out a helpless sigh, Mucun drove the horse under his crotch to follow closely behind Gamiya.

...

...

Under the hands-on teaching of Jian Gong and Mu Cun, Ogata finally mastered the tricks of riding a horse gradually, and was able to control his horse well-of course, this is also related to his very docile temperament.

If Ogata were given a hot-tempered horse, Ogata would probably fall off the horse's back and eat shit.

With the horses, the speed of the three of them immediately increased.

The three of them headed north from Kii, heading towards Owari.

Ogata did not specifically count how long it took them to arrive at Owari. After an unknown amount of time passed, Ogata finally heard Mamiya and Mucun say that we are almost there, and the base of our gourd house is ahead.

It is dusk.

The sun setting in the west reflected the dense clouds covering the northern half of the sky. The sky began to take on the color of sunset, but the ground was still bright.

Thanks to the relatively bright light, Ogata could clearly see a small village surrounded by mountains in front of his eyes.

Because it was almost time for dinner, smoke rose from all over the village. At the entrance of the village, a few urchins were playing. In the nearby fields, Ogata saw many villagers packing up farm tools and preparing to go back to the village for dinner.

Looking at this small village that looked so ordinary no matter where it looked, the expression on Ogata's face couldn't help but become weird.

"Jiangong, Mucun, is the base of your gourd house here?"

"Are you thinking that this ordinary village is actually the base of your gourd house?" Mucun asked in a half-joking tone, "If you think so, you are right, after all, this place is deliberately arranged as an ordinary village. appearance."

"This village is actually an outpost of our Gourd House." Jian Gong said softly at this time, "The villagers here are all members of our Gourd House. Once an outsider approaches this place, the villagers here will immediately call 'An outsider to come. Come 'tell us."

After seeing Jiangong and Mucun, several villagers who happened to be standing at the entrance of the village immediately greeted them respectfully.

But Jiangong and Mucun got off their horses when they came to the entrance of the village, and handed over the reins of the horses to these villagers.

Seeing Mamiya and the others dismount, Ogata dismounted immediately, imitating what Mamiya and the others did just now, and handed over the reins to those villagers.

It seemed that it was not the first time for those villagers to lead horses. After taking over the horses from Ogata's three people, they used dexterous techniques to pull the three horses towards a corner of the village.

"Ogata-kun, we're going to take a mountain road next."

While talking, Mamiya pointed to a big mountain behind the village.

"The base of our gourd house is in that mountain."

"It should be dinner soon. If we move faster, we might be able to catch dinner."

"Speaking of which - I've always forgotten to ask you, how many members do you have in the gourd house?" Ogata asked looking at the mountain pointed by Mamiya.

"Not many." Mamiya stretched out 4 fingers, "The whole gourd house, except for the lord and Genichi, including me and Mucun, there are only 4 members in total."

"The number of people is too small!" Ogata shouted angrily.

"Otherwise, why do you think I want to pull you into our Gourd House so much?" Mamiya smiled wryly, "Ogata-kun, the other two members of our Gourd House...their personalities are a bit...weird, So—be prepared.”
