I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Text Chapter 312: Commoners and Duoduo

"...Kyoto Prefecture is roughly divided into two factions."

Kamiyama softly introduced to Asai, Shimada, and Hasegawa who didn't know much about the factional struggle in Kyoto Prefecture.

"One faction is dominated by Mr. Toda Tadakan, the acting governor of Kyoto, and I will call it the 'Toda faction'."

"The other faction is dominated by me, and I temporarily call it the 'Shenshan faction'."

"Toda Munekan-sama is the head of the Kyoto Institute, no matter the position or the power in his hands, he is far higher than me who is just a small one in Kyoto Town, so the power of the 'Toda faction' is far above me. on top of the 'Shenshan School'."

"I don't agree with Toda-sama."

"Because I have a disagreement with Mr. Toda, Toda leads the 'Toda faction' and has been suppressing my 'Shenshan faction'."

"But fortunately, Mr. Nakamatsudaira Sadanobu, the old man in Edo, likes me very much and has always supported me."

"Thanks to the support of Mr. Laozhong, my "Shenshan faction" has been able to survive until now, and I have been able to sit in the position of the Kyoto town until now."

After hearing the names of "Laozhong" and "Sadanobu Matsudaira" from Shenshan's mouth, Hasegawa's pupils shrank slightly, and the light in his eyes flickered slightly.

"Abe Riri is a big boss, and his position is under me, and he should also be under my jurisdiction as the governor of Kyoto Town."

"But... he is a member of the 'Toda School'..."

"Because of his backing to Mr. Toda, Abe has never listened to my orders, and treated my orders and instructions as nothing."

"And I have nothing to do with Abe who has Mr. Toda as his backer."

"Abe is a member of the 'Toda faction', so he took every opportunity to trouble me."

"The reason why he sent people to arrest Mucun must be to disgust me."

Speaking of this, Shenshan's face was a bit bitter, and he smiled wryly.

"I can guess what Abe plans to do in the future..."

"He will definitely impeach me in the future on the grounds that 'Kaiyama Koshinosuke appointed someone who is not even an official to investigate the case, which violates the law'. Then he will hand over the witness of Mucun to Edo..."

"While disgusting me, I also disgust Mucun by the way..."

"When Mucun was still working in Kyoto, the relationship between Mucun and Abe was quite bad."

"The reason why Abe sent people to imprison Mucun, on the other hand, must be to disgust Mucun..."

"Asshole..."

Shenshan's fists were slowly clenched, and then he punched the low table in front of him hard.

"The group of 'Toda faction'...has made no achievements in governing the country and the country, and is only doing tricks to drag other colleagues back...\

,""...We already know the specific reason why Mucun was arrested." Asai, who had been quietly listening to Shenshan's explanation, said, "Then——the next question: tell us which prison Mucun was imprisoned in gone."

Hearing this question from Asai, Shenshan's pupils shrank suddenly, raised his gaze, and cast his astonished eyes to Asai.

"What are you... planning to do...?"

"Do you need to ask?" Asai rolled his eyes at Shenshan, "We will not sit idly by our comrades who are in jail."

"...Calm down." Shenshan said in a deep voice, "It is impossible to rescue Mucun from prison with the strength of the two of you alone."

"You don't have to worry about this, Master Shenshan."

Asai raised his left hand and put it on the handle of the knife on his left waist.

"We... are very strong."

"Tell us where Mucun is locked up."

Asai seemed to have lost his patience, his face was full of impatience.

"..." Shenshan was silent and thoughtful...

At this moment—Hasegawa, who had been silent since just now, suddenly said:

"...I have a plan."

Hasegawa who suddenly spoke out immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

"If this plan of mine succeeds,

Maybe they will be able to rescue Mucun from prison without bloodshed..."

...

...

Kyoto, in a certain burnt area.

"...Ayi, let's go."

"Have you had enough rest?"

Ogata, who was sitting next to Machi and resting with him, glanced at Machi's legs beside him.

Ah-Ming's legs stopped trembling.

"Yeah." Amachi Asaogata showed a smile, "I've had enough rest."

After saying that, Machi stood up slowly.

"Ayi, what shall we do next?"

"Let's try to go to Sanji Street first." Ogata stood up with A-Machi, "The one-eyed man said just now that their boss named Ryunosuke has an unknown office in Sanji Street. What is the purpose of the stronghold."

When they were asking about the one-eyed dragon just now, Ogata and A-Ming got three pieces of valuable information from the one-eyed dragon:

One: Their boss is named "Ryunosuke".

Two: Ryunosuke is cooperating with a mysterious force. The leader of this group of mysterious forces is named 'Hexian' and is responsible for providing Ryunosuke with weapons.

Three: Ryunosuke has set up a stronghold on Sanwangzi Street, but I don't know what the purpose of this stronghold is.

"Then--there's a problem." Ah-Ming smiled wryly, "How should we get to Third Prince Street?"

After A-Machi's words fell, Ogata smiled wryly along with A-Machi.

When he was sitting and resting with A-Ming just now, Ogata took out the map of Kyoto that Dieyin gave him to find the location of Third Prince Street.

However——the two looked at the map dozens of times, but they couldn't find the words "Third Prince Street" on the map...

"Anyway..." Ogata said, "Let's leave this area first. Go to a place with people and ask someone for directions."

"Yeah." Ah-Ming nodded, "Let's go."

Before setting off, Ogata pulled out his personal system interface and checked his current experience bars.

[Current personal level: lv25 ()]

Sakakibara Ichikatsu Ryu level: 10 Dan ()

Non-self two swords level: 8th stage ()

Shiranui Ninjutsu level: 2nd stage ()]

When rescuing Inaba's wife and daughter just now, Ogata's various experience bars were slightly increased again.

——Is it "Shiranui Ninjutsu" and "Personal Level" that are the fastest to upgrade...

After thinking secretly in his heart, Ogata silently closed his personal system interface.

...

...

Ogata and Machi walked side by side through the burnt area full of ruins.

In fact, the two of them didn't know where to go to leave the burnt area, so they only looked at the "east" direction, and kept walking eastward with the idea of ​​"trying their luck".

At this moment - a strange sound suddenly came from the side of the two of them and passed into their No. 2 middle school.

"Huh?" Ogata narrowed his eyes slightly, "What's the sound?"

Ogata and A-Machi both stopped and listened carefully.

After listening carefully, Ogata and A-Machi realized that it was a human quarrel.

"Although I don't know what they are arguing about, but I finally met a living person." A Ding said, "A Yi, let's go. Let's go to them and ask for directions."

"Ok."

Ogata and A-Machi ran quickly following the sound of the quarrel.

While avoiding a house that had been destroyed by fire, Ogata and the others finally saw clearly the source of the quarrel - a small open space.

As soon as he got close to this small open space, an unpleasant sour smell kept penetrating into the nostrils of Ogata and Atachi, making Ogata's brows involuntarily frowned.

Many people are gathering in this open space at this time, occupying nearly half of the space in this open space.

Four youths and one teenager were standing in the center of the open space, arguing about something.

The quarrel that Ogata and Atachi heard just now came from the mouths of these five people.

It is not difficult to see from their appearance - these four youths and the middle-aged man belong to two different camps.

Those 4 youths belonged to one camp, and the teenager belonged to another camp.

The boy just scolded those four youths.

Whether it's the five people who are cursing at each other, or the other people sitting around watching the five people's scolding battle, they all look unkempt, and the sour smell that permeates the surrounding air comes from these people. emanating from the body.

From the appearance of these people, it is not difficult to see that these people should all be residents of the burned area.

Ogata and the others didn't rush over immediately, but hid aside first, and listened to what they were arguing for now.

"You bloody dirty!" One of the four youths yelled at the young man, "Your dirty foot touched my ankle just now! My whole foot is polluted by you!"

When these young people were talking, they kept raising their hands to cover their mouths and noses, as if they were holding their breath to prevent themselves from inhaling too much air from this place.

"Since your feet are polluted by me, why don't you just find a pond to wash your hands!" The boy retorted not to be outdone.

"What kind of attitude do you have!" Another young man yelled, "You stinky brat! Didn't your elders teach you that you dirty bastards are not qualified to touch civilians? Get down on your knees and ask My friend apologizes!"

"That guy accidentally kicked my foot just now!" Even in a "1 vs. 4" battle, the boy didn't have the slightest intention of giving in. "It's not that I took the initiative to touch you, I Why are you apologizing to your friend!"

"Also—" the boy then shouted, "Don't you know that this is our Zeduo's residence? You ran to our Zeduo's residence for no reason. You accidentally touched my body, This is your responsibility! It's none of my business!"

"Do you think we are willing to come to your dirty place like you?!" Another young man among the four youths shouted, "Our home was blown down by the strong wind this morning! If it wasn't because we couldn't find Go to a suitable shelter, we will not come to a ghost place like yours!"

"You guys, what's your attitude from just now!" At this moment, a childish shout suddenly exploded from the crowd of onlookers.

Whether it is the two of Ogata, or the people in this open space, they all followed this path and looked at it.

The owner of this delicate drink is a little girl who is only about 10 years old in terms of height and appearance.

Although the little girl's face was also dirty, Ogata vaguely recognized that the little girl's facial features were similar to those of the boy who was arguing with the four young people.

The little girl and the boy should be siblings.

Just now, Ogata discovered the existence of this little girl.

Because this little girl is so conspicuous.

Among the onlookers, most of them were watching the quarrel between the teenager and the four youths with numbness and indifference.

Only the little girl was full of anger and tried to get up several times, but the people next to her pressed her to the ground and covered the little girl's mouth.

Until just now—the momentary negligence of the people next to the little girl caused the little girl to let out a shout that attracted the attention of everyone around her.

After making this coquettish cry, the little girl broke free from the shackles of the people around her, and quickly ran towards the side of the boy.

"Ah Chu! Come back!"

Several middle-aged people who were sitting next to the little girl just now shouted at the little girl.

But the little girl didn't seem to have heard the shouts of those middle-aged people, and quickly ran to the boy's side, and shouted to the four young people in front of her with a full voice:

"What are you four being arrogant about since just now!"

"You keep talking about 'common people' and 'Zuiduo' all the time!"

"Then let me ask you: Is there any difference between the four of you who are civilians and us now?"

"It's not like the same house was burned down by the fire, and it hasn't been rebuilt so far. It can only survive in this place full of ruins!"

The little girl's words were not too long, but they managed to make all four young people blush and burst into anger.

"It's so filthy, how dare you insult us!"

"Hmph! That's why I hate the children in Duozhong the most! I don't know the rules! I can't recognize my identity!"

After the four youths shouted angrily, they rushed aside quickly.

The four of them did not escape.

Instead, he ran to the side to get the stick in the ruins.

There are ruins everywhere here, and the most indispensable thing is wooden sticks.

The four youths pulled out a big stick with the thickness of a bowl, and then aggressively killed the boy and the little girl.

Looking at the four youths who came to kill with big sticks, both the boy and the little girl turned pale at this moment.

Although their faces were pale, neither of them showed too strong a look of fear.

The boy turned around, protected the little girl behind him, faced the four menacing youths, and clenched his little fists tightly.

Until the four youths had killed the boy and the little girl, the people watching were still numb, and none of them rushed to help the boy and the little girl...

Just when the young man who rushed to the front had raised the big stick in his hand, and was about to swing it down at the young man in front of him——

"Huh?" The young man let out an unbelievable low cry.

When he raised the wooden stick above his head and was about to swing it down, the young man felt that the wooden stick in his hand seemed to be clamped by an iron tongs, and he couldn't swing it anymore.

—someone grabs my stick behind me!

As soon as this idea surfaced in the young man's mind, before the young man had time to look back to see who grabbed his wooden stick, the young man felt as if his legs had been thrown by a thick and long whip. Unsteady standing, the center of gravity was destroyed, and the whole person fell directly to the ground.

...

...

Ogata threw aside the wooden stick he had just snatched from the young man, and rushed towards the other three young men.

A few young men with scantily clad clothes and flimsy footsteps are naturally impossible to be Ogata's opponents.

Ogata used Shiranui-ryu Jiu-Jitsu to easily knock the four youths to the ground.

The system sound of personal level and Shiranui Ninjutsu gaining experience points rang four times in Ogata's mind.
