I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

The next morning, the morning—

Kyoto, the execution office——

In a certain room of the execution office, Hasegawa and the four cadres he brought to Kyoto gathered together.

"According to the information provided by the informant - the blood mist crowd is very likely to have close ties with a local Yakuza group in Kyoto who call themselves the 'Great Buddha Clan'."

"This information was verified last night - extremely reliable."

Hasegawa's volume was not loud, but it was just enough for all the cadres present to hear his voice clearly.

The four cadres listened carefully, even the sound of breathing slowed down unconsciously.

"The Great Buddha Clan is a powerful yakuza group in Kyoto."

"Their leader, named 'Big Buddha Kaoru', was originally an ordinary hooligan in Kyoto."

"After successfully forming the 'Great Buddha Clan', in order to show that I am different, I took the surname 'Great Buddha' for myself."

"According to our informants - they have seen people suspected to be Shirakawa Shuichiro several times, going in and out of various strongholds such as casinos opened by the 'Great Buddha Clan'."

Shirakawa Hideichiro: The name of the leader of the Blood Mist.

At this time, a certain cadre frowned and muttered:

"The blood mist group and the local Yakuza group in Kyoto actually have contacts... What are they going to do?"

"It's not surprising that they have contacts." Hasegawa said indifferently, "After all, they are the same breed. They will only harm innocent people."

"As for why the blood mist crowd has contacts with the 'Great Buddha Clan'... guess based on the current information—probably to use the 'knife' of the blood mist crowd to kill dissidents."

"Last night, I asked Shenshan for all the information related to the 'Great Buddha Clan' and read it carefully."

"Recently, two yakuza leaders and two businessmen were killed in Kyoto. They were killed without exception."

"These victims, without exception, were all people who had fierce disputes with the 'Great Buddha Clan'."

"People from the Kyoto Magistrate once investigated the 'Great Buddha Clan' because of this, but because they couldn't find any evidence of their murder, they had to let it go."

"If the 'Great Buddha Clan' cooperated with the blood mist crowd and let the blood mist crowd help them kill, then everything would make sense."

"The beasts of the Blood Mist all have good swordsmanship and rich experience in killing people. It is easy for them to kill a few people."

"Of course, the above are just my guesses."

"All in all—no matter what the 'Great Buddha Clan' is dealing with the Blood Mist crowd for, what we have to do remains the same."

"From now on, pay close attention to every big stronghold of the 'Great Buddha Clan'. Remember not to startle the snake."

"The beasts of the Blood Mist probably don't know that our Huofu thieves have already arrived in Beijing in secret in order to arrest them-this is our biggest advantage at present."

"Yes!"*4

The four cadres responded in unison.

...

...

Kyoto,

In a luxurious casino——

In a slightly dim room, a young man with hanging eyes held a knife in his arms, leaned against the wall behind him, and said in a lazy voice to the middle-aged man sitting directly opposite him:

"Mr. Buddha, why did you come to me suddenly?"

If Hasegawa was here, he would be very excited to see this young man with hanging eyes—because this young man with hanging eyes is exactly the leader of the Blood Mist that he has been looking for for a long time: Shirakawa Shuichiro.

At this time, there were only two people in the room: Bai Chuan and a middle-aged man sitting directly opposite him, and the name of this middle-aged man was Dafo Xun.

It is the leader of the "Great Buddha Clan".

Dafo didn't care about Bai Chuan's casual attitude, he just put his hands into his sleeves and said in a deep voice:

"Last night, my brother was arrested."

"Oh?" Bai Chuan raised his eyebrows, "Arrested? Was it arrested by the government?"

"No, it was captured by an old man."

"Old man?" Bai Chuan exclaimed in a low voice.

"I've already found out—yesterday, my stupid younger brother sneaked into an old man's house intending to steal, but he was caught by the old man. Late last night, my younger brother was tied up and sent to the execution center. "

"The old man... is there some powerful expert living in the house?"

"No, as far as I know—the old man lives alone at home."

"... Great Buddha, can you let me tell the truth that you may not like to hear?"

"Go ahead."

"Is your brother an idiot?" Bai Chuan sneered bluntly, "A young man can't beat an old man?"

Regarding Bai Chuan's sneer at his younger brother, the Buddha not only did not show the slightest resentment, but also nodded:

"Well, you're right, and I think so too—my brother is a complete idiot."

"You said that you don't want to rely on my help, but want to rely on your own strength to work hard."

"That's what I said, but in the end, I still only do some sneaky things."

"It's nothing more than stealing chickens and dogs. It's very spineless to steal an old man's house."

"It's nothing more than stealing the old man's house, but he was killed by an old man and sent to the execution center."

Speaking of this, Dafo felt his blood surge up, and his whole head was swollen, so he couldn't help raising his hands and kneading his temples and eyebrows on both sides.

"So—is there a way to get your brother out of the execution house?"

"Impossible." The Buddha's tone became even lower, with a hint of displeasure emerging, "The current practice in Kyoto is that of the holy mountain Goshinosuke."

"He's a troublesome man. It's impossible to force people out of jail while he's in power."

"It seems that this guy is a good official." Bai Chuan whistled.

"When the old man sent my younger brother to the execution center, there were all the witnesses and physical evidence, and my younger brother is a habitual offender, and has been in prison twice before and after."

"If I go to prison again this time... I commit another crime and I don't know how to repent... My brother will spend at least 2 years in prison this time..."

"Since there is no way to get your brother out of the enforcement office, then obediently wait for more than two years until your brother comes out." Bai Chuan shrugged.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Bai Chuan suddenly seemed to realize something, and paused:

"...Hey, Great Buddha. You suddenly called me over, don't you want me to help you break the prison?"

Bai Chuan hurriedly raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.

"I won't do it."

"I'm not the executioner Yidao Zhai, I don't have the ability to fight against the government."

"Rushing into the prison to rob people is no different from sending them to death."

"I didn't ask you to follow the robbed person." The Buddha said, "I also know that it is unrealistic to follow the robbed person."

"I came here just to ask you to avenge my brother."

"Revenge?" Bai Chuan raised his eyebrows, "You mean...?"

The Buddha nodded, with a fierce look in his eyes: "I want you to help me kill that old man who sent my brother to the execution center."

"Although my brother is stupid and incompetent, he is still my brother after all."

"He has been wronged, I can't remain indifferent, or my subordinates will look down on me."

"I can't afford to offend the enforcement office, can I also offend an old man?"

"Help me chop him into pieces... No! Ten pieces!"

"Do you want me to help kill an old man..." Bai Chuan picked his nostrils, "It feels a little overkill... Are you really planning to let us go to the Blood Mist?"

"What do you think I started cooperating with you? It is to use your power to kill those who hinder me."

"Basically none of my subordinates are good at killing people, so this kind of thing, I'd better trouble you professionals."

"...Alright then." Bai Chuan stretched vigorously, "Anyway, if you give me the money, I will handle the work."

"After it's done, I'll give you 10 taels."

"Only 10 taels?"

"It's just for you to kill an old man, 10 taels should be enough, right?"

"Forget it, 10 taels is 10 taels."

"Don't be careless. Since the old man can send my brother to the execution office, it means that the old man still has some skills."

"No matter how capable you are, you're just an old man." Bai Chuan sneered, "I'll send 4 people there. No matter how capable the old man is, he can beat 4 people? When do we want to do it?"

"Just tonight, how about it?"

"Tonight then."

...

...

That night——

Kyoto, home of Fuma——

"Quick! Ayi! Quickly see through!"

"This is?" Ogata looked puzzled at the two pieces of clothes that A-Machi handed him.

Although the two pieces of clothing were neatly folded, Ogata could still tell at a glance that they were two pieces of haori.

One light onion and one dark blue.

"When I went out to buy wine yesterday evening, I passed a clothing store." A-Ming said, "The clothes in that store are sold at a very cheap price, and the quality is also good."

"Your current haori just broke, so I bought two pieces for you in that clothing store."

"Because that shop can help people embroider family crests on clothes for free, I let them embroider the family crests of our Ogata family on these two haori."

Speaking of this, A-Machi put on a displeased tone:

"Originally they said that the family crest could be embroidered this afternoon, but when I went to pick up the clothes this afternoon, they actually said that they hadn't finished embroidering and asked me to come back tonight, which made me run away."

"So you just went out to get clothes?" Ogata asked.

A-cho nodded: "Come on, hurry up and give it a try!"

Ogata took the two haori from A-machi. The fabric feels pretty good to the touch.

"Don't you like the light onion color? I wanted to buy you two light onion color clothes." At this time, A-Ming added, "But it feels a bit weird to buy two identical clothes, so I changed it to a light onion color." Color, a dark blue."

He has been with Ogata for so long, what he likes to eat, what kind of color he likes, all kinds of "cold knowledge" about Ogata, A-Machi has already figured it out clearly.

"I'm a little moved." Ogata put the light onion-colored haori on his body, and said with a smile, "I just happened to be thinking about buying a new haori recently."

Putting the haori on his back, Ogata lowered his head and took a rough look - the size is just right, and the touch is quite good.

On the left and right chests and the back of Haori, each of these three places is embroidered with the family crest of their Ogata family - Kikyo flower.

Ogata wears clothes and items embroidered with their family's crest.

In his memory - the last time he wore clothes embroidered with platycodon flowers was at the simple wedding with A-Ming on the eve of going north to Ezodi.

In the past, the rules for using Kamon were very strict. Everyone can tell which family a person comes from just by looking at the family crest.

But it is different now. After entering the Edo period, except for a few family crests such as paulownia and chrysanthemum, which are still not allowed to be used at will, the use of other family crests has become rampant.

Even commoners can have their own family crest.

Ogata's platycodon belongs to the family crest that has been used for a long time. Now there are countless samurai and commoner families who use platycodon as their crest.

"Oh! Very nice clothes!" said Fumo, who was sitting not far from Ogata.

And Azhu on the side also echoed at this time: "Yeah! Master Yidao Zhai! It's very suitable for you!"

Ogata was also very satisfied with the new clothes that A-cho specially bought for him, so he thanked A-cho again.

"Okay. It's almost time to sleep." Fuma drank the sake in the glass in his hand, "Tomorrow we have to get up early."

Ogata and the others have already made a plan—tomorrow morning, they will officially set off for Osaka in the south.

From Kyoto to Osaka, the straight-line distance is only 40 kilometers. If you walk there, according to Ogata's estimation, it only takes about 2 or 3 days to reach Osaka.

"Yeah." Ogata nodded, "That's right. It's really time to sleep now..."

Before Ogata finished speaking, he suddenly paused.

Then he turned his head and looked outside.

It wasn't just Ogata who made such an action, Fuma, A-Machi, and Azuki all made the same action at this time—they turned their heads in unison and looked outside the house.

"...Master Feng, did you invite any guests?" Ogata asked.

"...As far as I know, my popularity in Kyoto is not good enough for someone to visit my house at such a late night."

...

...

"Is that where the old man lives?" asked a one-eyed middle-aged man with a blindfold and a menacing appearance.

"That's right." A man with a large scar on his face standing beside him replied, "That's right there."

"The younger brother of the Great Buddha is really a waste." A short sneer sneered disdainfully, "When dealing with an old man, he was killed and sent to the execution center. If I did such a shameful thing like him, I would have killed myself long ago."

"Okay, stop chatting." A tall tall man said in a deep voice, "Hurry up and follow the order, and unload the old man ten yuan. Although it is spring now, the night is still quite cold. .”

After finishing speaking, Gao Lao let out a sigh of relief towards his hands.

"It would be nice if the old man had a granddaughter or something." Shorty said with regret, "I haven't played with a woman for a long time, and Shimabara's women are too expensive, I really can't afford them."

"You were really perverted before." Scarface joked, "You actually played with someone's wife in front of your husband."

"You know a fart, it's exciting like this."

One-eyed, scar-faced, short-haired, and tall-these 4 people were sent by Bai Chuan to smash Feng Mo into ten pieces.

These 4 people are also the old people of the blood mist, and they fled from Kanto to Kyoto with Bai Chuan, doing all kinds of bad things.

At this time, these four people are carrying out tonight's attitude completely with the attitude of going out to relax and travel-after all, no matter how they think about it, they can't think of the difficulty or danger of this task tonight.

After seeing that the lights in Fengmo's house were still on, Cyclops nodded: "It seems that the old man hasn't slept yet, what are you going to do?"

"What else can I do? Of course I went straight in." After finishing speaking, the little boy took the lead and strode towards Feng Mo's house.

Wow!

The dwarf who rushed to the front opened the unlocked door. While opening the door, he drew his knife out of its sheath, and then rushed into the room along the opened door.

The other 3 people also drew their swords in their hands at this time, and followed closely behind.

However, after they rushed into the room, they were surprised to find that there was no one in the room.

"Huh? Where's the person?" The little man frowned, "Is no one home?"

The four of them were standing in the living room of Feng Mo's house.

Look around - no one is there.

"...No." One Eye touched a cushion in the living room, "The cushion is still warm... There were people here just now. Let's go, let's go to the second floor to have a look."

The dwarf sniffed at this moment, and then grinned: "I seem to smell a woman. There was a woman in this room just now, and there seems to be more than one."

The words of the short man immediately excited the rest of the people.

They lined up in a straight line, ready to make their way to the second floor of the house.

However...they hadn't even left the living room when they all heard strange noises from the ceiling above their heads.

Afterwards, the ceilings in the northeast and southwest corners of the hall were quickly pulled apart, and two figures fell from the pulled ceiling respectively—these two figures were an old man and a young man.

As soon as the feet of these two people landed on the ground, they quickly rushed towards the four people who hadn't even reacted like hungry tigers.

...

...

Ogata's first target was the dwarf who was closest to him.

Feng Mo had specifically instructed: It is best not to use a knife, because it will dirty his home, and even if things like bloodstains are cleaned, there will be an unpleasant bloody smell that will linger for a long time.

Ogata didn't want to make Fumo's already dirty home even dirtier, so he didn't draw his sword, but just greeted the uninvited guests with his bare hands.

Ogata put his hands on the right shoulder and neck of the short man.

Up to this moment, Aizizi and the others finally came to their senses—but it was too late.

Ogata used Shiranui-ryu-jitsu to bring the short man down to the ground, and then turned his head to a novel angle.
