I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

The position where Ogata was standing just now was 6 steps away from Guasheng.

So when Guasheng was suddenly pushed down just now, Ogata didn't have time to step forward to support Guasheng.

After Guasheng was overthrown by Huofu Thief's official post and his cheeks were bruised, Ogata's expression darkened instantly.

He walked to Ju Xiaoseng's side at an unhurried pace, and grabbed the hand of one of the officials who was going to take Ju Xiaoseng away.

"One step." Natori frowned slightly at this moment, "Please cooperate with me..."

"No." Ogata interrupted loudly, "It is you who cooperate with us. Please apologize to Miss Guasheng quickly, and then leave here—this is the greatest cooperation for us."

"If you really want Ju Xiaoseng, please leave here temporarily."

"Ju Xiaoseng is currently placed in the prison of our club, and then we will slowly negotiate the ownership of Ju Xiaoseng."

"It can't be done!" Natori said loudly, "There is nothing to negotiate!"

"Ju Xiaoseng is the criminal responsible for our Huo Fu Thief Kai."

"In order to catch Ju Xiaoseng, we have spent too much energy and manpower, we can't return empty-handed!"

The commotion on the side of Ogata and the others has already attracted quite a few onlookers.

The crowd was surrounded by nearly 2 floors of passers-by watching the excitement.

Ogata's tone remained calm, "A lot of people here were injured for catching Little Monk Chrysanthemum. Do you think we might agree to your behavior of forcibly taking away our achievements?"

Natori frowned.

"Don't make me say the same thing too many times! Ju Xiaoseng is the criminal responsible for our Huo Fu Thief Gai! It should be handed over to us!"

"We Huo Fu Thief Gai have the privilege to use force against those who obstruct official duties!"

"Even if you are both bureaucrats of the shogunate, we can still use force against you without being held accountable!"

"So please don't continue to hinder us!"

After saying that, Natori turned his head and winked at the subordinates behind him.

The knowing subordinates pulled out their hands, swords or stabs from their waists.

Looking at the menacing Huofu Thief Reformed officials in front of them, the servants in the surrounding clubhouse couldn't help but swallowed, a bit of fear flashed across their faces.

Even Gua Sheng's face darkened at this moment.

Because she knew—as the special armed security force of the shogunate, Huofu Thief Kai really had such a privilege.

If they firmly insisted that the officials of the clubhouse were hindering them, the officials changed by Huofu Thieves could really use force against them.

Gua Sheng's face was already full of anxiety at this time, and he didn't know what to do now.

I don't know whether to let the officials of Huofu Bandit Kai take Ju Xiaoseng away first, and then they wait for Shirobei to come back, and let Shirobei, who is good at negotiating with people, go and slowly negotiate with Huofu Bandit Kai, or Right now, let's fight hard and never give up.

These two options made Gua Sheng quite embarrassed.

The first option is tantamount to showing weakness to Huofu thieves.

The criminals he had worked so hard to catch were finally taken away by Huo Fu Thief Reform—Gua Sheng couldn't think of anything more embarrassing than this.

Even if Ju Xiaoseng can be obtained back through negotiations in the end, he will definitely be gossiped about and used as a talking point and a joke in the future.

Not to mention the second line selection.

If you don't give up now, it should be inevitable to have some violent conflicts with Huofu Thief Kai.

And their strength is much weaker than this group of people who have been fighting and killing vicious criminals for many years-although Gua Sheng is very reluctant to admit it, this is always true.

If a violent conflict breaks out, it must be their clubhouse that suffers.

Just when Gua Sheng's face was dripping with anxious sweat...

"Excuse me, is Hasegawa-san currently in Edo?"

Ogata spoke suddenly.

Asa Natori asked a question that seemed irrelevant to the situation at the scene.

"Huh?" Natori frowned, "Why are you asking this?"

"It's nothing, I just want to confirm whether Mr. Hasegawa is in Edo."

"...Master Hasegawa happens to be in Edo right now." Natori said.

"That's it... that's convenient."

"That..." Kawajiro's voice suddenly sounded.

As a veteran of the clubhouse, Kawajiro stood at the back of the clubhouse staff.

After he spoke, the eyes of everyone around him naturally fell on him.

"Mashima-kun, let's hand over Kiku-san to them." Kawajiro said in a deep voice with a tangled face, "We don't need to make a big fuss over a prisoner..."

"Since Mr. Natori promised to give us a gift of thanks for assisting in the capture of Ju Xiaoseng, then we..."

"Mr. Kawajiro." Before Kawajiro finished speaking, Oo conveniently interrupted his words, "It has nothing to do with whether you have received a reward or not."

"This is a felon that everyone in the clubhouse worked together to catch."

"Someone can't help but want to take away the honor that should belong to us."

Speaking of this, the faces of Gua Sheng and the others... especially the faces of those officials who were injured but still insisted on chasing Ju Xiaoseng flashed in Ogata's mind one by one.

"I can't just sit back and watch this absurd thing happen in front of my eyes."

After finishing speaking, Ogata turned his gaze back to Natori and the others in front of him.

"Sir, what you said just now, I can understand - if we stop you from taking Ju Xiaoseng away, are you going to use force against us?"

"You can understand it that way." Natori nodded slightly, "We Huofu Thief Gai have such a privilege."

"Then you just said that you are not willing to negotiate with us later, right?"

"That's right." Natori's face began to show impatience, "We have nothing to negotiate!"

"...It seems that there is no way to make you give up taking credit by sitting down and having a good talk." Ogata said lightly.

"Enough! I don't want to listen to your nonsense anymore!" Natori yelled as if he didn't have the patience anymore, "Hirata! Ogura! Get this guy out of the way!"

As soon as Natori's order came down, 2 of the 4 fire robbers who were converted to official posts standing beside Ju Xiaoseng immediately stepped forward and stretched out their hands to push Ogata's chest.

Their actions are rough.

Ogata was pushed away directly.

But after taking only 2 steps back, Xu stopped his back steps.

Ogata narrowed his eyes slightly.

"You guys have started..."

Ogata had been waiting for this moment.

The moment when the officials of Huofu Thief Reform took the lead.

After Ogata muttered softly like this...

bass!

Da Shitian was quickly pulled out.

After Ogata pulled Da Shitian out of the scabbard at his waist, he turned the blade around, pointing the blade at himself, and pointing the back of the blade at Huo Fu, the bandits and officials in front of him.

After pulling out Da Shitian at a dizzying speed and turning the blade, Da Shitian turned into two afterimages in Ogata's hand, and hit the shoulders of the two officials in front of him.

The two officials screamed one after another, and then fell to the ground clutching their shoulders.

"You bastard...?!" Natori yelled at the subordinates around him after widening his eyes in astonishment, "What are you still doing in a daze? Take down this guy who hinders us from changing his job to the thief!"

After hearing Natori's loud roar, Natori's subordinates, who were stunned by Ogata's daring to attack, stabilized their weapons as if they had just woken up from a dream.

It's not the first time for them to work in Huofu Thief Kai.

Therefore, even if there is no order from Natori, they know that even if they can use force against people in the name of "obstructing official duties", they cannot casually kill people.

Therefore, they only took out blunt weapons such as ten hands and stabs.

Several people who did not have blunt weapons pulled out the knives at their waists, but they also turned the blade of the knife like Ogata, and pointed the back of the knife at Ogata.

Ogata's sudden attack not only stunned Natori and the others, but also shocked the surrounding onlookers, as well as Guasheng and the others.

But Guasheng and the others hadn't gotten out of the shock yet, Ogata's next move made them fall into even stronger shock.

After swiping two knives in succession and knocking down the two officials who pushed him just now, Ogata subconsciously made a "blood vibration" movement to shake off the blood, kicked his hind foot, and moved towards the remaining 23 people in front of him. Huo pays the official sent by the thieves and rushes away.

After Ogata charged Natori and the others in front of him, Guasheng was the first to come to his senses.

"Mashima-kun! What are you doing?" Guasheng yelled anxiously, "They are officials who have been replaced by Huofu thieves! They are very powerful! You..."

Gua Sheng's words stopped at this point, and he couldn't continue talking.

Because of the scene that happened in front of him afterwards, Gua Sheng directly opened his mouth wide, unable to utter a word.

Ogata swung his knife and slashed at the official standing in the front.

The back of Da Shitian's sword hit the official poor directly on the left neck.

With the sound of a dull impact, the official collapsed directly on the ground.

Ogata didn't use any tricks or tricks.

Just aimed at his left neck and used their Sakakibara Issou-style horizontal slashing technique - Dragon Tail.

Ogata's sword speed was too fast.

It was so fast that the official didn't even have time to react.

Ogata's knife had already slashed to his neck, but he was still stupidly unable to react.

He may have been stunned by Ogata, and he didn't realize that Ogata had already drawn his sword.

Huofu Bandit Kai is indeed the strongest armed security force in the shogunate.

Although the incident happened suddenly, they quickly set up a posture to meet the enemy.

The four officers clutched their weapons tightly and went towards Ogata.

These four people are holding ten hands that are shorter than ordinary swords.

According to the positions and actions of these four people, it is not difficult to see that the cooperation experience of these four people is very rich.

Four handles and ten hands sweep towards Ogata from different directions.

If it were someone who was inexperienced or inexperienced in dealing with the enemy, he might have been in a hurry when faced with these four attacks from different directions.

And Ogata——not in a hurry or in a hurry.

With a sweep of his sight, he saw clearly the positions of the four ten hands, and determined which of the four threats came first and which came last. Ogata swung the Da Shitian in his hand four times in one breath.

Relying on the superb sword speed, Ogata was stunned to cut 1 sword into 4 swords.

The four ten-handed figures were shot down and blocked at the same time.

After defusing the attacks of the four officials, Ogata swung the Dashiten in his hand four times again.

But this time, it was the four officials who used ten hands that were shot down.

He didn't even have time to catch his breath, and just after knocking down these 4 people, another 3 officials attacked.

Ogata has long been used to this feeling of not even having time to breathe, so he didn't feel uncomfortable.

The three officials who attacked this time used stabbing weapons.

Looking at the three officials wielding long weapons, Ogata's expression couldn't help becoming a little more serious.

Face multiple enemies with long weapons, and multiple enemies with short weapons - the difficulty of which is completely different.

These three thorns are like the four ten hands just now, attacking different parts of Ogata's body.

One was aimed at Ogata's belly, one was aimed at Ogata's thigh, and the last one was aimed at Ogata's ankle.

When the three thorns were about to hit Ogata, Ogata jumped to the side, dodged the three thorns precisely, and

After dodging to the left and dodging the three thorns, Ogata looked at the position of the thorn that attacked his ankle just now, and then raised his right foot high!

Boom!

With the sound of a small muffled sound, Ogata's right foot stepped on the handle of the spear that attacked his ankle just now, so the position was very close to the ground, and he had not had time to retract it at this time.

The right foot stepped on the thorn heavily on the ground again, and there was a small muffled sound.

After stepping on the tip of the knife with his right foot, Ogata raised his left foot non-stop and stepped on the middle part of the spiked gun handle.

Ogata's current state is that his whole body stands on this thorn again.

After stepping directly on the thorn, the face of the official who used the thorn is now within walking distance of Ogata.

Without any hesitation, Ogata directly waved Da Shitian in his hand, knocking the officer unconscious.

When Ogata had just launched a charge against the officials of Huofu Bandit Reform, many staff members in the clubhouse, including Guasheng, planned to "fight it out" and stepped forward to help Ogata.

However... they now find that they don't seem to need to step forward to help...

Everyone, including Guasheng, widened their eyes and opened their mouths wide, focusing their eyes full of disbelief on Ogata.

The same person with his mouth so wide that his jaw was about to drop to the ground was Natori.

After ordering his subordinates to besiege Ogata, Natori silently stood at the safe end.

Natori originally thought—the official of the Shirobei Club who dared to fight back against them was quickly beaten to the ground because he was outnumbered.

However, what really appeared in front of Natori's eyes was that his subordinates were being knocked down one by one by this guy at a fast speed.

Because the scene in front of him was too shocking, Natori's consciousness could not be regained for a long time.

Not long after, Natori's consciousness finally recovered.

And the opportunity for his consciousness to regain consciousness is also very simple - all the subordinates in front of him were knocked down by Ogata.

After cutting down an official who was holding a thorn, Ogata habitually made a bloody movement, and then walked slowly towards Natori.

The man holding the thorn just now was the last of Natori's subordinates.

Looking at Ogata who was walking towards him with a little shortness of breath in front of him, Natori hurriedly pulled out the sword from his waist.

Facing Natori who drew his sword, Ogata was not afraid and continued to walk towards Natori slowly.

Cold sweat began to frantically trickle down on Takato's face.

The lips are also slightly pale because of this.

Feet also feel as heavy as lead.

Let's run away——this idea automatically appeared in Natori's mind as if it had a life of its own.

But as soon as this idea emerged from his mind, Natori immediately erased it.

The samurai's self-esteem made him not have the confidence to run away.

To embolden himself, Natori yelled:

"Drink ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Natori's voice was so loud that some onlookers couldn't help but raise their hands to cover their ears.

Natori's yelling just now was just a yelling, not even a ki-ai.

Many people who don't know much about swordsmanship will always mistakenly think that Qihe is just ordinary shouting - this is actually a misunderstanding.

There is a difference between ki ai and normal yelling.

Looking at Nacho who emboldened himself by shouting, Ogata said softly in a calm tone:

"Shouting and screaming won't make the way you swing your sword look more like 'swordplay'."

After saying that, Ogata pressed the center of gravity of his body suddenly, and then turned into an arrow that flew off the string, and quickly rushed to Natori.

call--!

The sound of breaking wind sounded.

Da Shitian in Ogata's hand struck towards Natori's neck from top to bottom.

Perhaps because of instinct, Natori subconsciously raised the sword in his hand to block.

However—after the knife in his hand collided with someone else's knife, the extremely familiar pain and numbness transmitted to the palm did not appear.

Ogata's note just now was just a fake move to deceive Natori.

The purpose is to deceive Natori and let Natori make a wrong defensive judgment.

And Natori also successfully took the bait.

The moment Ogata raised his sword high, Natori suddenly stopped the sword in his hand in mid-air.

Then he deflected the sword and adjusted the attack direction of the sword.

Just now Ogata's sword was struck from the upper left of Natori.

But now, Ogata's sword was changed to cut from the upper right of Natori.

Natori, who was still foolishly defending against the wrong direction, was hit on the neck by Ogata without any accident, and then Yin slowly fell to the ground while clutching his own neck.

Including Natori, the 25 officials of the Huofu Bandit Kai Sixth Division are now either fainted, or lying on the ground, moaning in pain like mosquitoes.

From when Natori and the others were standing upright, to when they were all lying down—less than 5 minutes had passed.

After confirming that everyone was knocked down by him, Ogata slowly put Da Shitian back into the scabbard.

After Ogata retracted the saber back into its sheath, Guasheng and the others, who still had the shock on their faces, came behind Ogata step by step.

"Ma, Mashima-kun..." Perhaps because he recovered from the "shock", Guasheng stammered, "You...are you so strong...you can actually 1 25 each..."

"Miss Guasheng." Ogata smiled slightly, "No one can deal with 25 people at the same time."

"I just repeated 1-on-1 25 times."

Fuma's popularity is much higher than I imagined.

Many book friends expressed their liking for this old man.

Since everyone likes Fuma so much, I will release a short story with Fuma as the main character that I wrote casually when I was serializing the fifth volume.

Because the number of words is too short, this short story cannot be regarded as an independent chapter. I have been wondering what to do with this short story that has been lying in my folder for a month.

So I simply released it at the end of this chapter, as a special code for volume 6.

Volume 6 Special 1: "The Mysterious Old Man"

...

...

Kanzheng two years (AD 1790), September 19th.

In a certain forest outside of Kyoto City.

"Hey, old man, don't sleep in this wilderness forest, do you think your life is too long? You are very old, you should cherish your life."

Sato Hiroshi carried his spear on his back today, and headed straight for the depths of Mt. Toribe.

As soon as he reached the foot of the mountain, he saw an old man on the side of the road.

Bald, with a big beard, holding a long wooden stick, probably used as a walking stick, and wearing a kimono with wide sleeves - this is the image of this old man.

It is very strange to see the old man in this deep mountain and old forest.

What Sato never expected was that the old man was sitting and sleeping on the side of the road, which was even more surprising.

After waking up the old man, the old man slowly opened his sleepy eyes, looked around, raised his hand to touch his bald head, and said softly:

"...Where am I here?"

"This is Mt. Toribe!" Sato yelled angrily, "Old man, are you drowsy?"

"Oh! Yes, this is Mt. Toribe, I remembered. I'm sorry, I'm getting older, and my brain has become dull."

"Old man, why are you sleeping here? Be careful that there are thieves coming to snatch you. Recently, a group of bandits entered Bird's Edge Mountain and set up a stronghold on Bird's Edge Mountain. I advise you to leave Bird's Edge Mountain as soon as possible. "

"Why do you sleep here... It's a long story. Simply put, I was tired from walking, so I just took a nap on the side of the road. Hmm... I slept soundly..."

"Old man... I think it's better for you to go out as little as possible in the future. I think your brain is broken. How can anyone just sleep on the side of the road so carelessly?"

"Forget it, since you've woken up, let's get out of here." After saying that, Sato carried his spear on his back, turned around and continued to head towards the depths of Mt. Toribe.

However, before he had gone a few steps, the old man who seemed to have some problems with his head stopped him.

"Hey, young man, where are you going?"

"My name is Hiroshi Sato." Sato patted the spear behind him, "Did I just say that? Recently, a group of bandits entered Mt. Toribe, so I'm going to hunt down those bandits!"

"Oh? Are you going to hunt down bandits? Just you?"

"I'm very strong!" Sato hammered his chest, "I'm wandering around now, doing martial arts training!"

"From the time I left the domain to the present, I have never lost in a competition with others!"

"As far as I know, there are only 12 bandits stationed in Birdside Mountain."

"The 12 bandits in the area can't do anything to me at all!"

"I want to help the people around me eradicate those black sheep, and hone my skills by the way!"

"Ho Ho Ho ~~!" The old man nodded, "Do you want to help the people around you eradicate those scourges... Not a bad idea, as a warrior, you should have the awareness to help those who can't wield a knife .”

"The bandits who recently entered the Bird's Edge Mountain... Those guys are quite arrogant. Yesterday they swaggered to the nearby village to observe the situation of the village."

"Isn't this very bad?" Sato's face darkened, "Since everyone has started to observe the situation of the surrounding villages, it means that they will probably start looting soon, and we must get rid of those guys quickly. "

After finishing speaking, Sato turned around and prepared to continue heading towards the depths of Mt. Toribe.

However, before he could move his feet, the old man's voice sounded again.

"Ah, about those bandits, you don't actually need to go find them, they've already been killed."

"Killed?" Sato widened his eyes, "Did the government send out troops... I didn't expect the Kyoto government to move so fast... They killed this group of bandits so quickly..."

"No, no, you misunderstood." The old man waved his hand, "The Kyoto government is still busy dealing with the funeral of the 'Battle of Nijo Castle' two months ago, how can it have time to deal with the little bandits in the mountains?"

"Who killed the bandit then?"

"Of course, the old man, I went directly to the depths of Bird's Edge Mountain, entered the bandits' stronghold, and then killed these bandits one by one."

"I still have a lot of affection for the land around Kyoto. Yesterday, I heard from the little vegetable seller who usually takes care of me that there are bandits stationed in Mount Toribe. I left this morning to deal with the bandits in Mount Toribe. .”

"When I got rid of these pests and returned to Kyoto, I felt a little tired, so I just took a nap here... Hey, hey! How did you get away? At least listen to me."

Sato now only feels that his precious time has been wasted by this old man who seems to have a bad mind.

Sato, who didn't want to waste any more time on the old man, turned his head and said to the old man in a helpless tone while continuing to head towards the deep mountain:

"Old man, I beg you. It's dangerous for a bad-headed person like you to walk outside. You'd better go home and stay well."

"Don't you believe me... Well, forget it."

The old man suddenly raised the long wooden stick that was used as a crutch in his hand, and then swung it over his head.

After the old man put down the crutch in his hand, a bee fell powerlessly from the sky.

After raising his hand to grab the bee, the old man directly threw the bee into his mouth and started chewing.

"If you insist on looking for bandits, I won't stop you. Anyway, the bandits have been killed by the old man. Now Bird Mountain is very safe... Ah, I won the big prize. This bee just finished gathering honey , so sweet."

The old man spit out the bee stinger with a "poof", and then used the stinger as a toothpick. While picking his teeth, he walked slowly down the mountain.

"Goodbye, old man."

Just as Sato was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly realized something.

"Hey! Old man! What happened to that bee just now? Did you shoot it down? How did you do it?"

"Huh? How did you do it?" The old man who was still picking his teeth with the bee's sting raised his head in thought, "Of course it's like raising the wooden stick in his hand like this, and shooting down the bees with a 'pia'."

"If it's the kind of bees that have just harvested honey, it tastes sweet, I highly recommend it."

After raising the wooden stick in his hand and making a waving gesture, the old man stopped talking and continued to pick his teeth while walking down the mountain.

Looking at the gradually shrinking figure of the old man, Sato was stunned.

"This old man...how sacred is he..."

...

...

Volume 6 Special 1: "The Old Man" - the end.

Although Fuma no Sato has been disbanded, there are still legends about the last Fuma Kotaro in the world.
