I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

quiet……

After the young man who called himself Nobuhide Toyotomi finished his unique self-introduction, the cell fell into a slightly strange silence.

Hasegawa first stared at Toyotomi in a daze, and then changed his eyes to examine Toyotomi up and down.

"Oh." Toyotomi curled his lips at this moment, "Your reaction is very flat."

"I'm a little disappointed. I thought you would show some interesting expression changes after hearing my self-introduction just now."

"I'm not interested in your name, I just want to know where this place is?" Hasegawa asked in a deep voice, "And why are you being held here?"

"Oh, you are indeed the chief of Huofu Thief Kai." Toyotomi smiled very gracefully again, "I woke up and found that I was being imprisoned in a completely strange place, but I didn't panic at all——" It’s this kind of heart, which is far beyond ordinary people.”

"Don't worry, Mr. Hasegawa, I don't have any malice towards you, and I don't have any intention to hurt you."

"Those of your subordinates are all fine now, they are all locked up elsewhere, and they are offered food and drink."

Although Toyotomi said so, Hasegawa's expression did not relax at all, and he still looked like he was facing a big enemy.

"...Are you and Xianyuan Temple in the same group?" Hasegawa asked.

Hearing Hasegawa's question, Toyotomi frowned slightly.

And Hasegawa went on to say at this time:

"The 'Buddhist items from Xianyuan Temple were stolen' are just bait to lure me to Koyasan, right? After you lure me to your territory, immediately set up a scheme to arrest me."

"Otherwise, there is no way to explain why we were found so quickly and accurately when we first arrived in Koya Town, and drugged our meals."

"...Hahaha, is this the keen intuition cultivated by catching too many thieves?" Toyotomi clapped his hands a few times, "Your deduction is completely correct!"

"A long time ago, Xianyuan Temple was our partner."

"The false claim that 'the Buddhist supplies from Xianyuan Temple were stolen' is to lure you to our territory so that we can catch you conveniently."

"...Why did you do this?" Hasegawa's face became more and more gloomy, "Is it because you have a grudge against me, so you want to take revenge on me?"

"If I want to avenge you, I won't let you live in such a good place." Toyotomi pouted at the tatami at the foot of Hasegawa, "Please forgive me for knocking you into a coma without authorization, and then putting you in a coma." The recklessness of bringing it here."

"The reason why I did this is not for anything else—just to get you into my command."

Toyotomi is taller, about 170cm.

He bent his body forward slightly, put his hands on the fence between him and Hasegawa, and made his sight line with Hasegawa who was a little shorter than him.

"Mr. Hasegawa, my self-introduction just now was actually just a half-truth and half-fake joke to tease you and see if you will show any interesting expressions."

"I don't have many hobbies. One of the only hobbies I have is seeing people put on funny faces."

"I'm not a Taoist, I'm not interested in sharing the bed with a man."

"Thinking to bring a good man into the house—this is a lie."

"But wanting to take good men under his command—it's true."

"I like good men the most."

"When I see a good man, I want to take them under my command and use them for me."

"You manage Huofu Thief Kai, and you are also a manager. You should understand my thirst for talents."

"Mr. Hasegawa, I have been interested in you for a long time."

"The former Huofu Thief Kai was just an ordinary team."

"But until you became the leader of Huofu Thief Kai, this team quickly grew into a powerful team that made countless thieves frightened at an astonishing speed."

"I have no shortage of strong generals who can stand up to ten and one to a hundred under my command.

"

"But there is only a shortage of generals like you who are good at management and training troops."

"If you want to regain the throne of the people of the world, you are indispensable."

"I wanted to take you under my command a long time ago."

"Until recently, I was able to spare energy and time to try to subdue you."

As soon as Toyotomi finished speaking, Hasegawa's face changed slightly.

"Did you just say... to regain the throne of the people of the world?"

"Oh, Mr. Hasegawa. Don't show such a scary expression." Toyotomi shrugged, "I'm just taking back what belongs to me."

"Did you forget the name I just reported?"

"I am a descendant of the Toyotomi family 200 years ago."

"To take back the throne of the people of the world - for us Toyotomi, this is nothing more than a just battle to get back what belongs to us."

"The descendants of the Toyotomi clan?" Hasegawa could no longer maintain a calm expression at this time, "How is it possible! The Toyotomi clan was exterminated in the Osaka Summer Battle 200 years ago!"

"That's the truth, believe it or not."

"I am too lazy to repeat to outsiders the story of how our Toyotomi family struggled to survive the Osaka Summer Battle 200 years ago and has survived to this day."

Toyotomi said lightly.

"All in all—in order to regain the throne of the people of the world, I need a general like you."

"Mr. Hasegawa, I won't tell you too much nonsense, just tell you the benefits you can get after joining me!"

"As long as you can join me, I will immediately give you a new salary!"

"The amount of salary... tentatively set at five times the amount of salary you currently serve in the shogunate!"

"And I promise you - as long as you can make enough achievements for me, I will be very happy to make you a famous name."

"At that time, I will also strongly support you in developing the human football field!"

Hearing Toyotomi's words, Hasegawa's expression changed uncontrollably.

"Mr. Hasegawa, I know everything about it—you resisted all the arguments and opened this human foot camp to teach prisoners skills."

"Although it was successfully opened, it was struggling due to lack of support."

"For you to work so tirelessly to build and operate the Renzujima, this Renzujijima must have some unusual meaning to you, right?"

"I'm actually quite interested in this. Why do you have to work so hard to build and operate the Renzu Depository? Obviously, as long as you don't do this stuff, your life will be much easier now."

Hasegawa fell silent.

Seeing that Hasegawa remained silent, Toyotomi grinned.

"Don't be so wary of me. Just treat it as a light chat between friends."

"Talk to me more and get to know me better, it's only good for you now, isn't it?"

"...When I was young, I was a prodigal who only knew how to eat, drink, whore and gamble, and squandered my family property. The only serious thing I could do was to practice swordsmanship." Hasegawa said slowly after another moment of silence, "This life of sensuality and years of wandering in casinos and promenades has allowed me to get acquainted with people from all walks of life...no, all kinds of people."

"The serious son of the samurai family, the beautiful boy who had to sell himself because of debts, the rich businessman who slept with thousands of women... and the fool who had to commit crimes again and again because of lack of skills."

"There are two types of criminals in the world."

"The first type is a born bad breed who doesn't have any psychological burden on doing bad things, and even enjoys crime."

"There's no saving this type of criminal."

"The second type of criminal is a fool who gets confused and accidentally goes astray."

"This kind of criminal can be saved and brought back to the right path."

"I've met a lot of these idiots during the time I've been hanging out in casinos, boardrooms, and other shitty places."

"There are those who want to treat their parents and steal money, and those who can't find a job and rob..."

"The vast majority of them have one thing in common - they lack the skills to make a living."

"Some people have to resort to crime because they lack the skills to earn a living."

"They also know that if they steal or rob, they will go to jail, but in order to survive, they have no other choice."

"Stealing and robbing due to lack of livelihood skills, and then being caught in prison, the situation of lack of livelihood skills after getting out of prison has not been improved, so I can only continue to steal and rob... just like this endless cycle."

"They belong to the kind of 'neglected people'. They are ignored by the government and people. No one is willing to stand up for them and let them escape this endless cycle that can only be lived by continuous crime."

"I was very touched by what happened to these poor people."

"So I stopped being a libertine and officially started official career at the age of 30."

"As long as they have a skill, many idiots can be saved, and they will no longer commit crimes. It is with this idea that I established Renzujichang."

Toyotomi has been listening carefully.

After Hasegawa's voice fell, Toyotomi smiled and clapped vigorously. Valley

"So that's why you worked so hard to build and operate Renzujiu."

"The people of the Li people respectfully call you 'Jin Dagang', and it really is not a mistake."

"An official like you who is willing to stand up for this kind of 'invisible person', I am afraid that there will not be one official in the entire shogunate!"

Now Ooka——Compared to "Ghost Flat", another lesser-known title of Hasegawa.

Ooka Echizen was a well-known upright and capable official in the long-dead shogunate. The title of Dagang today is similar to the Chinese "Bao Qingtian reborn".

"Since Renzujiachang is such an important place for you, then you should join me all the more!"

Toyotomi moved his face closer to Hasegawa, almost touching the fence.

"The shogunate does not support your establishment of a foot station."

"But I support you."

"As long as you join my command, after I conquer the Edo shogunate and build up my Toyotomi country, I will support you in vigorously developing the people's football field, which is just a matter of effort."

"Not only will you not be stuck in the allocation of funds, but it will also allow you to build a human detention center all over the world, so that criminals all over the world can have a chance to reform themselves."

"In this way, your long-cherished wish of saving those idiots can be regarded as fulfilled."

Hasegawa said nothing.

He only looked at Toyotomi with a slightly indifferent gaze.

"...I know what you're thinking right now."

Facing Hasegawa's meaningful gaze, Toyotomi grinned again.

Obviously, the smiles shown by Toyotomi are the kind of personable smiles that remind people of the word "noble son".

But for some reason—every time Hasegawa saw Toyotomi laughing, a slight chill would appear in his heart.

"You must be thinking—it must be wishful thinking for you, a shogun who has been living on the Tokugawa family's salary for generations, to betray the Edo shogunate."

"And—how can I shake the Edo shogunate that has ruled the world for 200 years?"

Toyotomi maintained a graceful smile, and slowly straightened his waist.

"You have such an idea, I can understand it very well."

"I didn't intend to ask you to join us immediately."

"Just stay here for a few days and watch carefully."

"In a few days, I will shake the world."

"At that time, you will know whether I have the ability to shake the Edo Shogunate."

"At that time, I will come and listen to your answer slowly."

"The world... shakes...?" A bad premonition welled up from the bottom of Hasegawa's heart, "What... are you going to do?!"

Hasegawa jumped forward suddenly, half of his body pressed against the fence.

"About this - please allow me to keep it a secret for now." Toyotomi continued to smile there while stepping back.

After all, Toyotomi ignored Hasegawa, turned around and left.

Letting Hasegawa yell there, Toyotomi remained unmoved, and walked out of the dungeon slowly while holding the knife with the purple handle on his waist.

As soon as Toyotomi left the dungeon, he saw a young man in black running towards him at a fast speed.

"Lord Toyotomi." Coming to Toyotomi, the young man in black knelt on one knee in front of Toyotomi, and then presented a sealed letter to Toyotomi with both hands, " There is an urgent message from Osaka."

"Thank you." Toyotomi took the well-wrapped envelope, tore it open, pulled out the letter paper inside, and read it word by word.

"...Xiao Liu." After reading every word written on the letter paper in his hand, Toyotomi put down the letter paper in his hand and looked at the young man in front of him who had just delivered the letter to him.

"I'm here!" The black-clothed youth called Xiao Liu shouted loudly.

"This is a letter from Banruo. Guess what is written in the letter?" Toyotomi showed a playful expression, playing with the letter paper in his hand.

"Lord Toyotomi, I haven't even read this letter. How can I know what is written in this letter." Xiao Liu smiled wryly.

"Brajna, he saw the enemy who killed his senior brother that he was looking for so hard at the 'Great Trials' before noon today."

"Enemy?" Xiao Liu's expression changed, "Master Toyotomi, you mean...he saw Shura?"

Toyotomi nodded:

"Banruo said that he would never forget Shura's voice in his whole life, and he dared to guarantee it with his own life-Sura did indeed appear in today's 'big test match', and he also has a lot of relationship with the people of Yishi Sword Gym .”

"That boy Banruo has done a good job. He has only been under my command for only one year, and he has made many achievements. He is a talent worth cultivating."

"Osaka is so lively right now..."

Toyotomi narrowed his eyes slightly at this moment.

"Unexpectedly... Not only Matsudaira Sadanobu but also my annoying sister, even Shura has come to Osaka..."

"The crowd is really neat."

Toyotomi folded the letter paper in his hand and put it back in the envelope.

"little six."

"I'm here!" The young man in black who was still kneeling in front of Toyotomi shouted loudly.

"Go and help me call all the cadres here." Toyotomi said in a calm tone, "I want to slightly change the battle plan for the 'Osaka Spring Battle'."

"Do you want to change the plan of the 'Osaka Spring Formation'?" Xiao Liu exclaimed in a low voice, "The Osaka Spring Formation is about to start, and if you suddenly change the plan, will it..."

"Don't worry." Toyotomi waved his hand, "It's just a small change. The original combat goal will not change in the slightest."

...

...

Osaka——

"... Master Yidao Zhai."

After staying in Isshika's "secret base" for a while, Ogata and Isshika left the deserted temple side by side.

"What's wrong?" Ogata turned to look at Isshika who suddenly called him.

"How long...how long are you going to stay in Osaka now?" Isshiki Hana Asaogata fluttered her beautiful big eyes.

"Now?" Ogata pondered for a moment, "...I can't say for sure, but—it won't stay for long."

"After all... I still have some urgent things to do now."

Ogata raised his hand and touched his left neck.

When he puts on his clothes now, he always pulls up his collar a little bit, so that he can cover the large purple skin that spread from his left neck to his left chest.

"Will you stay in Osaka for a long time..." Isshiki lowered her head slightly.

In his eyes, the light of thinking and hesitation flickered.

This light called thinking and hesitation flickered fiercely in Isshiki's pupils, but in the end——this light gradually faded away.

"...Although I don't know what you will do in the future, Mr. Yidao Zhai, but I'd like to wish you prosperity in advance."

Isshiki stopped and bowed slightly towards Ogata.

"When do you finish all the important things at hand, you are welcome to come to Osaka to play again at any time."

"Yes. I will." Ogata smiled and nodded, "I quite like the city of Osaka. If there is a chance, I will definitely come to Osaka again..."

Before Ogata finished speaking, his pupils suddenly shrank.

"Well……!"

Ogata let out a low cry of pain, knelt down on one knee, and covered his left neck with his left hand.

The severe pain in his thigh was spreading from his left neck to his whole body.

Ogata is no stranger to this special severe pain...

He has already tasted this twice... the unique pain when the immortal poison spreads...
