I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Although it has been 2 days, Beiyuan still feels as if it was yesterday because of the scenes and scenes that happened on the "big test".

Entering the stage full of confidence, wanting to perform well in front of Isshika, but was knocked down by a previously unknown An Yun...

Immediately afterwards, this An Yun showed great power and knocked down both his master Nanjo and the owner of the Shimura Pavilion.

If the matter ended here, then Bei Yuan would feel better if he felt relieved. After all, it meant that he was instantly killed, not because he was too weak, but because his opponent was too strong.

look! Even the master and the owner of the Shimura Pavilion were defeated! He, Beiyuan, was knocked down by one move, which was reasonable and reasonable.

However... What happened next made Bei Yuan completely unable to accept it.

An Yun, who killed him with one blow, was killed by another person...

And this person... just happened to have a very good relationship with Yishijian Gym, and his relationship with Yishihua was also quite good. Before the "big trial match", this guy and Yishihua had been talking and laughing, which made Beiyuan hate him so much Tooth itching.

Bei Yuan could bear someone much stronger than him.

But he can't stand this person who is much stronger than him, and he has a good relationship with Isshiki...

Ogata killed An Yun with one blow, and when Ogata knocked An Yun down and returned to his seat, Isshika smiled at him—these two scenes, like two needles, pierced Beiyuan's heart fiercely.

But Beiyuan's blow was not over yet.

The "big trial match" was over, and Beiyuan, who was extremely depressed, called his friend Miura to drink with him to relieve boredom.

Then a new round of blows came...

When drinking with Miura, after Kitahara talked about all the changes that happened in the "Great Trial", Miura exclaimed:

"Ah! That man in the bamboo hat named Goro Mashima not only has a tough background, but also is so powerful in swordsmanship..."

Kitahara, who didn't understand what Miura said just now, questioned Miura.

Because when Miura encountered those things in Shinmachi, Kitahara happened to be retreating in the sword hall, preparing for the "big trial match", and did not come into contact with any outsiders.

So it wasn't until now that Kitahara learned of what happened to Miura in Shinmachi after questioning him for a while.

After learning what Miura had experienced, Kitahara's already extremely ugly expression became even uglier.

Kitahara naturally knows who Yukimura is.

As one of the famous heroes in Osaka, there are very few people in Osaka who don't know who Yukimura is.

In Yukimura, who called the wind and rain in Osaka, he bowed to Mashima Goro, a young man in his early 20s, with a humble attitude-this kind of thing, no one would believe it, but it just happened.

There is no doubt that Yukimura's attitude is so humble - that Mashima Goro's background is extremely powerful.

This made Beiyuan feel even more difficult to accept...

Beiyuan's heart, which was already scarred and scarred, was stabbed heavily again.

Suddenly, a person who is extremely powerful in swordsmanship, but also has a good background, and what's more, he has a good relationship with Yishihua... This huge blow directly stunned Beiyuan, who was originally very confident in himself.

Faced with this heavy blow, Bei Yuan subconsciously relied on alcohol, which he already liked very much.

For the past 2 days, Kitahara has been spending almost all of his time in izakayas.

From time to time, like tonight, I invite Miura and other friends to have a drink together.

Seeing that Kitahara drank up another bottle of sake, Miura couldn't help curling his lips.

——Isn't she just Isshika... there are a lot of girls in Osaka who look better than Isshika, and have a better personality than Isshika. As for this dying look...

Miura sighed several times in his heart.

——Bei Yuan's temperament is too paranoid, once he sees Yishihua, he must be Yishihua... This kind of paranoid character is easy to take detours...

Perhaps because of the son of a merchant, Miura's character and principles are very...flexible.

He couldn't understand Beiyuan's way of chasing Yisehua for 3 years and insisting on Yisehua for the rest of his life.

As an old friend of Kitahara, Miura has also persuaded Kitahara many times to let Kitahara want to open up, partner or something, it doesn't have to be Isshika. Miura also introduced several girls to Kitahara with great loyalty, whom Miura thought were much better than Isshikika, but Kitahara was indifferent.

Miura didn't know how to comfort Kitahara, who was currently very depressed and kept pouring himself alcohol.

I could only continue to say in a helpless tone:

"Do you still want to drink? You should drink a lot, is it almost enough?"

...

...

Osaka, somewhere——

"……Father."

Rushui, who was walking beside Zhizhou, had a peculiar ruddy complexion due to excitement.

"Tonight's 'clear talk' is really exciting!"

"Yeah." Zhi Zhou nodded with a smile on his face, "'Fa Zhu Zu'...is really a good name."

After Duan Jiro revealed the large piece of paper with the Chinese characters "Fa Zhu" written on it, heated discussions started in the room.

Some people think that the "Tianzhu Group" is more imposing, and it is better to define it as the "Tianzhu Group".

Those who agree that the "human punishment group" is more suitable for them also argue hard.

After more than an hour of discussion, they finally discussed a reason - the "Fa Zhu Party" who supported the name of the "Fa Zhu Group" won the final victory!

Although in the "Qing Tan" where the name was discussed in the previous discussion, the name "Tianzhu Group" was first proposed by Nao Zhou.

But in tonight's "clear talk", after Duan Jiro showed the big paper with "Fa Zhu" written on it, Zhizhou Guangsu defected to the "Fa Zhu Party" with Rushui.

So after seeing their "Fa Zhu Party" win the final victory and the organization confirmed the naming of the "Fa Zhu Group", both Zhi Zhou, Ru Shui and his son couldn't help but smile.

The main purpose of tonight's "clear talk" was to determine the name of their organization.

After confirming the name of the organization and publicizing some trivial matters about the organization's construction and operation, tonight's "clear talk" came to an end.

Zhizhou and Rushui are now on their way home.

"Alas..." Just now, his face was full of excitement and joy, but at this moment, a slight sadness appeared on his face, "I don't know... In my lifetime, will I see the fall of the Edo Shogunate..."

"I don't know how much effort and energy it will take to convince Satsuma, Changzhou and other powerful feudal clans..."

"...No matter how much effort and energy it takes, the final victory must belong to us." Zhizhou smiled slightly, "After all—the righteousness and the 'law' are with us."

The ultimate goal of their law-killing group is to overthrow the Edo shogunate and turn Japan back into a country with the emperor as the absolute center like the Nara and Heian eras hundreds of years ago.

It is easy to open and close your mouth and shout "Down with the Shogunate", but it is very difficult to practice it yourself.

The Edo shogunate directly ruled a quarter of Japan's land, and a large number of vassal states wished to follow the lead of the Edo shogunate.

From the very beginning, everyone in the Fazhu Group clearly realized that it was impossible to persuade a behemoth like the Edo Shogunate to take the initiative to return the power to the Emperor. To make the Edo shogunate return power to the emperor, force must be used!

How to bring down the Edo shogunate by force?

The Fazhu group set their sights on the powerful male feudal clans such as the Satsuma clan and the Changzhou clan, but at the same time not closely related to the Edo shogunate.

It is planned to use the power of these powerful vassals to overthrow the Edo shogunate.

If we talk about which domains are most likely to oppose the Edo shogunate, it is natural that some foreign daimyos headed by the Satsuma domain and the Changzhou domain.

The hegemony of the Tokugawa clan began in the Sekigahara Battle in 1600 AD, which was known as the "War of the Millennium".

Toyotomi Hideyoshi died in 1598. Toyotomi Hideyoshi just died. Tokugawa Ieyasu, who had been pretending to be his grandson in front of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, immediately started to make trouble.

Two years after the death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Ieyasu led a coalition army (collectively referred to as the Eastern Army) composed of supporters of the Toyotomi Army and the Toyotomi Clan in the Guanyuan area against the The coalition forces formed (collectively referred to as the Western Army).

This "War of the Millennium", which decided whether the world's surname was Toyotomi or Tokugawa, was decided in just one day.

The Toyotomi Clan had a large number of youngsters. Under Tokugawa Ieyasu's ingenious diplomatic tactics, the Western Army's betrayals and paddles made the Toyotomi Clan lose a lot because of these two or five youngsters.

After the end of the Sekihara War, the Tokugawa clan completely replaced the Toyotomi clan and ruled Japan. The Edo Shogunate was established in Edo in 1603, and then in 1614 and 1615, the Osaka Winter Campaign and the Osaka Summer Campaign were launched successively to completely wipe out the Toyotomi clan who was lingering in the base area of ​​Osaka.

After the establishment of the Edo Shogunate, the vassal daimyos who were entrusted to various places were divided into pro-vassal daimyos, genealogical daimyos, and foreign daimyos.

The pro-vassal daimyos are all relatives of the Tokugawa clan, the genealogical daimyos served the Tokugawa clan before the Sekigahara War, and the foreign daimyos were the daimyos who were surrendered by the Tokugawa clan after the Sekihara War.

Most of the foreign daimyos served the Toyotomi Clan during the Sekigahara War, and were forced to bow to the Tokugawa Clan because of the defeat of the Toyotomi Clan—the Satsuma and Choshu Clans are the most typical examples.

The Shimadzu family who ruled the Satsuma domain and the Mori family who ruled the Choshu domain were both subordinate to the Western Army during the Sekigahara War and served Toyotomi.

They bowed their heads to the Edo shogunate, it was purely forced.

This special relationship made the "former Toyotomi retainers" headed by the Satsuma and Changzhou clans not completely devoted to the Edo shogunate.

Therefore, they are most likely to instigate rebellion.

So Zhizhou and the others sent a large number of comrades to the territory of these feudal states that were expected to fight against the shogunate, and lobbied the people of these feudal states. The annual grain production was 770,000 shi and 370,000 shi, respectively, and the strength was the strongest. The Satsuma and Changzhou domains are the focus of work.

"Mobilize Satsuma, Changzhou and other powerful vassals, and attack the shogunate with force"-this is the general strategy of their Fazhu group.

"I also believe that we will and will be able to win the final victory." Rushui smiled, "I just hope to see our ambitions come true in my lifetime."

"If you can bring down the Edo shogunate in our lifetime, then father, you will be one of the heroes who brought down the shogunate."

"After all, you can be regarded as one of the founders and core figures of our Fazhu Group..."

"Okay, Rushui." Before Rushui finished speaking, he was interrupted by his father.

Naoki glanced around vigilantly, and then continued:

"On the street, don't talk about this kind of stuff."

The current time is close to 10 o'clock in the evening. At this time, even in the bustling Osaka, the streets have become extremely quiet.

The street under Zhizhou and Rushui's feet was deserted.

But even so, it's better to be careful. After all, if people hear the words "down with the Edo shogunate", it may cause a lot of trouble.

"Ah... sorry." Ru Shui apologized in a low voice, then closed her mouth tightly.

After Rushui apologized, neither father nor son spoke again.

The two returned home without a word.

As soon as he got home, Rushui's wife Ash rushed to the door to greet her with small steps.

Ah Shi: "Father, Rushui, you are back."

"Ah Shi." Ru Shui smiled, "Have you not gone to bed yet?"

"If I don't see you two returning home safely with my own eyes, I won't be able to sleep peacefully." Ru Shui responded in a half-joking tone.

"A Shi." Zhi Zhou asked suddenly, "Where's Xiao Hua?"

"Xiaohua has gone back to her room to sleep just now."

"Oh... Did Xiaohua study calligraphy with you tonight?"

Ah Shi can be regarded as the incarnation of Yamato Nadeko.

She has a beautiful appearance, a gentle personality, a perfect wife, and is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Naoshu has always asked Xiaohua to learn more from her mother, trying to become a perfect Yamato Nadeko like her mother.

"Yes, yes..." Ah Shi sighed softly, "But she has been absent-minded and doesn't want to study."

"I saw that she looked like she was not interested in studying, so I simply let her rest early."

"This child..." Zhi Zhou twitched the corners of his mouth, then shook his head lightly, "Does she deliberately want to confront me?"

"I asked her to study hard to learn calligraphy. Don't wait until she marries someone else and embarrass our Yise family. She will not study hard on purpose."

"It's true that the older I get, the less sensible I am. I must find an opportunity to teach her well in the future."

...

...

When Zhizhou and Rushui had just returned home——

In an unremarkable dark alley next to Isshiki's house——

"Lord Lou Luo."

A low voice sounded in the alley.

"Yishi Zhizhou and Yise Rushui have both returned home."

"...I'm finally back." A man dressed as a nihilistic monk exuding a cold aura murmured, "It really made me wait a long time..."

"Master Lou Luo, do you want to rush in and arrest people now?"

"...Wait a little longer. Wait until they are all asleep."

"yes."

...

...

"Hey, Beiyuan. Don't you really need me to take you home?"

Miura asked Kitahara, who was staggering as he walked beside him.

"No need." Beiyuan waved his hands with a little impatience, "You know, I have a lot to drink! This little wine is not enough to prevent me from going home."

The current time is about 11 o'clock in the evening.

No doubt late night.

At this time, the streets of Osaka were filled with nothing but cats and dogs, and drunks like Kitahara who returned home after drinking in an izakaya.

Miura looked at Kitahara's footsteps——Although Kitahara's cheeks were as red as if he had been splashed with red paint at this time, his steps were still firm and strong, and there was no situation where he couldn't even walk. Looks very sober too.

Miura is actually in a hurry to go home now.

Because he invited a wandering girl with a pair of awesome bears to the hut he rented out without his parents behind his back tonight.

Such a wonderful girl, Miura now wished he could put a pair of wings on his back, fly back to his hut, and hug that girl until dawn.

Beiyuan's home is quite far from here, and it would take a lot of time to send him home.

So after weighing the pros and cons, Miura decided——

"Okay then, I see. Then I'll go back to my house first."

Kitahara waved his hand at Miura: "Goodbye. Let's have a drink together later when we have time."

...

...

"...What time is it now?"

"Lord Lou Luo, it's almost nine o'clock in the evening (0 o'clock in the morning)."

"...Nine o'clock in the evening... It's almost time, pass the order down—let's do it."

"yes."

...

...

Osaka, the Isshiki family——

——Alas... Xiao Hua's matter... is really troublesome...

Naoki, who was lying under the blanket in a white bathrobe, looked as if he had closed his eyes and fell asleep, but he was not actually sleeping at all.

All kinds of chaotic thoughts are running wildly in Zhizhou's mind at this moment.

These running thoughts all have the same content - worries about Yishihua's marriage.

Before that, he had always felt lucky for being able to successfully recognize "Sura" Ogata.

Even if Ogata could not be allowed to join their Fajue team, if Danko wanted to maintain a good relationship with this man named "Shura", the advantages would outweigh the disadvantages - Naoshu had always thought so before.

But now... Naoki realizes that it doesn't seem to be the case...

Knowing Ogata... It seems that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Because he discovered that his precious granddaughter's heart had been abducted by that man!

Naojou is very concerned about the collapse of the great cause, but he also cares about his precious granddaughter.

Isshika's general today, "No matter how good he is, can he still be as good as Yidao Zhai?" The way Isshika blurted out this sentence made Naosuke quite worried...

Just when Naoki was worried about Isshiki's future——

Boom boom boom...

Suddenly, dense footsteps sounded outside the room.

The dense footsteps made Naosuke open his eyes instantly like a conditioned reflex.

--what happened? !

Zhizhou yelled in horror in his heart, and quickly took down the knife that was placed on the knife holder beside the bed.

There was no time to get dressed, so Naoki ran out of the room in his pajamas.

Next to Zhizhou's room is the room of Rushui and Ah Shi.

At the same time that Naoki ran out of the room with his saber in hand, Rushui also ran out of their room with his saber in hand.

Rushui didn't rush out of the room alone, his wife Ash followed behind Rushui with a stern look, holding a naginata.

Since the weapon of the naginata was eliminated by the spear, the naginata technique has gradually become a martial art practiced by samurai women.

For a samurai family with a little family background, all the women in the family must know some naginata skills.

Ah Shi was born in a family with excellent tutoring. Under the strict tutoring training, she is very good at playing naginata.

Out of habit, Ash keeps her naginata beside her bed, so that she can pick up the naginata at any time to kill the thieves and robbers who broke into their Isshiki's house without permission.

After Zhi Zhou, Ru Shui, and Ah Shi looked at each other, they rushed to the gate where the sound of dense footsteps was still heard.

Their Yise home has three floors.

Zhi Zhou, Ru Shui, and Ah Shi lived on the second floor.

The only 3 waiters in their family lived on the first floor.

Zhizhou and the three of them had just descended to the first floor when they heard the screams of their waiter.

Naoki and the others, whose faces became more gloomy, quickened their pace.

With their speeding all the way, they finally arrived at the place where the strange noise came from - the gate on the first floor.

After arriving at the gate, the sight presented in front of Zhizhou and the others made Zhizhou's pupils shrink suddenly——at the gate, there were more than 20 people dressed in black.

The leader of this group of men in black is a man dressed in the costume of a nihilistic monk.

Zhi Zhou: "You are..."

……who.

Before Zhi Zhou could say the second half of the sentence, he saw the nihilistic monk wave his hand suddenly: "Do it."

As soon as the words of the nihilistic monk fell, the rest of the men in black pulled out their weapons one after another, and rushed towards Zhizhou and the others...

...

...

Because of going to bed earlier, Isshika is now fast asleep.

Isshiki's room is located at the highest point of their house - the 3rd floor.

Living high and sleeping soundly, Isshiki didn't wake up faintly until her grandfather and parents rushed out of the room with weapons in hand.

--what happened? Why are there so many footsteps? !

Isshiki threw off the quilt with a startled face, took the saber on the knife holder next to her, dressed in a white bathrobe, and hurriedly ran to the first floor with her bare feet.

Hurrying along the stairs to the first floor, after reaching the stairwell on the second floor, the voice in Yishihua's ears changed suddenly.

Among the footsteps, there were many shouts of killing.

Amidst the shouts of killing, Yishihua vaguely heard many... voices that were extremely familiar to her.

Grandpa's voice...Parent's voice...

The blood on Yishihua's face became even thinner, and her footsteps accelerated involuntarily.

As soon as she got down to the first floor, the scene in front of her eyes made Isshiki's head go blank for a while.

She saw a large number of men in black.

A large number of men in black wielding all kinds of weapons were fighting with her grandfather and parents, and the first floor became a mess.

The disadvantage of the number of people made the battle situation one-sided.

Whether it is Zhizhou, Rushui or Ah Shi, they are not top experts who can take one against ten or one against a hundred. Facing the men in black who have an absolute advantage in numbers, Zhizhou and the others can only hold on and have no way to fight back. force.

Naoshu, who was panting heavily and parrying the attack of the five people, saw Isshika standing on the stairs not far away from the corner of his eye.

After discovering Isshiki, Naosuke shouted at Isshiki with all his strength almost without any hesitation or thinking:

"Xiaohua! Run away! Go to the enforcement office!"

Almost at the same time Naoki found Isshiki, the guy dressed as a nihilistic monk—that is, Lou Luo—also found Xiao Hua.

"The young woman at the top of the stairs should be Yishihua." Lou Luo said coldly, "Catch her."

The six men in black standing next to Lou Luo answered "Yes" in unison, and then rushed towards Yishihua like a hungry tiger.

Isshiki is no fool.

After going down to the first floor, seeing the men in black who had an absolute superiority in numbers, Yishihua had already made a decision in her heart.

She knew that with her own strength, even if she rushed forward, it would be impossible to have any effect.

So even without Zhizhou's yell just now, Yishihua knew that her best choice now was to escape quickly, and then go to the people in the execution office to help.

Therefore, the scene of crying "I won't go! I don't want to go!" was not performed on Yishihua.

Zhizhou hadn't finished shouting just now, Yishihua turned around and ran away.

The place Isshiki is heading to - is a certain room on the first floor...

The people in black are not that familiar with this room, and the timing of Isshiki's escape is very early, it will be difficult for the people in black to catch up for a while, so until the figure of Isshiki sneaks into a room on the first floor for several Seconds later, the six men in black who were ordered to capture Yishihua will rush into the room.

This is a utility room that is full of debris.

After rushing into the room, the six men in black were surprised to find that there were only sundries in the room, but no figure of Yishihua...

Without anyone's orders, the six men in black consciously spread out, searching every corner of the room.

After a while, they found a...big hole in the closet of the utility room. Behind the hole was a secret passage leading to nowhere...

...

...

"I'm so dizzy..."

Bei Yuan supported his forehead, leaned against the wall next to him, and rested.

He was not very dizzy at first, but due to the surge of alcohol, he became more and more dizzy, so Bei Yuan had to lean against the wall to take a rest.

——Have you reached Rokuchobori yet...it's still far from home...

Bei Yuan turned his head and looked at the familiar street scene around him.

When looking at the surrounding street scene, Bei Yuan's gaze... involuntarily turned to the street intersection on his right.

There was... a touch of resentment in his eyes.

At this time, walk straight along the street on his right, and you will arrive at the home of his sweetheart.

In the past, just looking at this street corner, Bei Yuan would feel his heart beating faster.

And now... for some reason, I no longer feel my heartbeat speeding up.

Looking at this intersection at this moment, Bei Yuan could only feel... There was a wave of resentment emerging from his heart.

——That Mashima Goro... so happy... to be greeted by Isshiki-san with such a smiling face...

——Why... Isshiki-san won't smile at me like that...

Bei Yuan felt sorry for himself.

At this time, a white figure suddenly appeared within Bei Yuan's field of vision.

Bei Yuan frowned and looked intently.

After seeing clearly who this white figure was, Bei Yuan's eyes suddenly opened.

"Miss Isshiki...?"

...

...

Yishihua never thought of the day when she would be grateful that her grandfather built secret passages all over the house.

But if possible, Isshika hopes that she will never be grateful for having a secret channel in her family again.

Running barefoot on the streets of Osaka, she now only felt tingling pain from the soles of her feet.

She comes from a wealthy family and has never done any heavy or rough work since she was a child, so her feet are naturally well maintained.

What kind of experience is it like to run on the delicate soles of the feet on the ground covered with gravel? Just by imagining, you can imagine how painful it is.

Even if she doesn't have to look, Yishihua can feel that the soles of her feet have been cut with several small wounds by sharp sand and stones.

Her feet hurt, but Isshiki can only bear it now.

She didn't have the leeway to stop, the current changes in her family made her dare not stop to go to the execution office.

She didn't dare to stop, because there might be many pursuers behind her.

When she first got out of the secret passage, Isshika once thought about whether to call for help to the neighbors around - this idea just came out of Isshika's heart, but she was dismissed by herself.

This method is too stupid, it is far better to go to the people in the enforcement office for help.

There are not many neighbors around Yishihua's house, and now is the time when everyone is sound asleep, even if Yishihua shouts with all her strength, it will probably only wake up some people, and these people who are awakened are willing to help And how many people are capable of helping the Yise family?

More importantly - as long as he shouted loudly, those men in black would be drawn over.

——Buddha! Please bless my family! Let them all be safe!

Isshiki, who believes in Buddhism, prays loudly in her heart.

Yishihua's current state... can be described in two words: a blank head and a distraught heart.

She was sleeping soundly, but suddenly a group of men in black came to her door... The emergency of the incident made Yishihua not even have time to calm down and think.

All she wanted to do now was to rush to the enforcement office and let the officials of the enforcement office rush to rescue her family.

The situation was already urgent, and under such circumstances, a new accident caused Yishihua's expression to change.

"Miss Isshiki! You, why are you here?"

Yishihua heard someone calling her stammeringly in front of her.

Yishihua, whose face changed greatly, followed the sound - it was Beiyuan.

Beiyuan, who was drunk and had a big tongue, squeezed out a smile, and moved his hands towards Yishi.

Beiyuan's yell just now was transmitted very clearly in this quiet street.

Facing Beiyuan who might have helped those men in black to locate her by accident just now, Yishihua couldn't think of blaming him, after all, those who don't know are innocent, but still couldn't help complaining to Beiyuan .

But these complaints soon turned into joy.

Although Beiyuan looks like he has been drunk now, he still seems to be able to walk normally.

After all, he is a man, so his footsteps are naturally faster than Yishihua's.

Let him also go to the enforcement office to report to the officials, it will be an extra insurance, even if she is arrested, Beiyuan can stay in Beiyuan and rush to the enforcement office to rescue the soldiers.

Beiyuan happened to be right in front of Yishihua's heading direction, so after getting closer to the position where there were only 10 steps away from Beiyuan, Yishihua, who avoided letting the man in black listen to his voice, lowered his voice and said urgently:

"Mr. Beiyuan, go to the enforcement office and report to the officials. My house has been attacked by thieves."

Isshika, who is in an anxious mood now, is full of anxiety, and naturally there is no smile on her face at this time.

Isshiki doesn't know——her current expressionless and smiling face made the corners of Bei Yuan's mouth pull down instantly.

He drank too much wine just now, and he was already in a... state of no brains.

He heard Yishihua's anxious shout just now.

But he subconsciously ignored it.

At this moment, his attention... was all on Yishihua's current expression.

——It's that expression that doesn't even smile...

——You always have this expression when you face me... When you face that Mashima Goro, you can smile so happily...

——Is it because Goro Mashima is better at swordsmanship than me and has more background...?

The resentment in my heart grew stronger.

Along with the intense resentment... There are also bursts of evil thoughts.

Isshiki is now only wearing a thin white yukata.

Because of her haste, the bathrobe Isshiki is wearing now has become a bit messy - especially the part on the front of the chest.

The two plentiful fruits swayed violently with Yishihua's sprinting, causing some of the tightly pressed skirts on Yishihua's chest to be shaken apart.

The alcohol in his stomach made the evil thoughts in Bei Yuan's heart grow exponentially.

Looking at the body in front of him that he could only meet in dreams before, Bei Yuan's breathing gradually became heavy.

Seeing Beiyuan's indifferent appearance, Yishihua thought he hadn't heard it, and when she was about to repeat it again, she saw Beiyuan violently.

She didn't set up defenses against Beiyuan, so Beiyuan rushed to her smoothly, and then hugged her.

Yishihua didn't even have time to let out an exclamation, so Beiyuan covered her mouth.

Beiyuan dragged Yishihua into a dark alley next to her with both hands and feet.

When dragging Yishihua into the alley, Beiyuan carefully snatched the knife from Yishihua's hand with brute force, and then threw it aside casually.

"Isshiki...I like you so much...I have been chasing you for three years...Why don't you even show me a smiling face..."

Kitahara hung his chin on Isshika's right shoulder, panting hard, inhaling the body fragrance from Isshiki's body.

His left hand continued to cover Isshiki's mouth, while his right hand grabbed the fabric behind Isshiki, trying to tear off the bathrobe that Isshiki was wearing.

He was delirious, and the movements of his hands became disordered. His right hand just tore randomly, so it just made Isshikika's bathrobe more messy, and the clothes were not pulled smoothly for a long time. Down.

If she had a knife in her hand now, Yishihua felt that she might really hack Bei Yuan to death.

Not just because of all the rudeness he's doing now.

It's because this bastard hindered her when she was in a hurry to save her family.

"Um... um... um..."

Isshiki struggled desperately.

But the strength of a woman is ultimately inferior to that of a man.

Unable to break away from Bei Yuan's control, his mouth was covered and he couldn't make a sound.

The anxiety of rushing to save his family, and the humiliation of being treated rudely by Bei Yuan, condensed and turned into a sense of powerlessness and despair.

This sense of powerlessness and despair made Isshika's eye sockets gradually moist, and a few crystal clear tears rolled out of the eye sockets.

She doesn't care what happens to herself now, she just hopes that her family is safe now.

For some reason, at this moment, a person's face appeared in Isshiki's mind.

This is... the face of a certain youth.

——Master Yidao Zhai...

Isshiki whispered that person's name in her heart.

She didn't know...why did she recall that person's face at this moment...

at this time--

Whoosh!

Suddenly.

Isshiki heard a sharp breaking wind.

"Well……"

As soon as the sound of the breaking wind fell, Isshiki heard Bei Yuan in front of him cry out in pain—a shuriken was stuck in Bei Yuan's head now.

The tip of this shuriken fell directly into Bei Yuan's mind.

Bei Yuan, who let out a low cry of pain, rolled his eyes and slowly fell backwards.

"This kind of man who is easy to be controlled by the lower body after drunk is really annoying." A beautiful female voice sounded from Yishihua's side, "But fortunately, there is this pervert here, let me Found you just in time."

Yishihua had time to turn her head following the sound, and saw a slightly thin figure appearing in front of her with a flash-like speed.

Immediately afterwards—a sharp pain came from the back of his neck.

This burst of severe pain quickly spread throughout Yishihua's body, under the stimulation of this severe pain, Yishihua's consciousness slowly disappeared.

The moment before the eyelids were completely closed, Isshiki heard this beautiful female voice say again:

"Sorry, I have to let you sleep for a while..."

...

...

Crash!

Naoki felt a handful of cold water being splashed on his face.

This handful of cold water directly woke up Zhi Zhou from his coma.

——Where am I...

Naosuke shook his head vigorously, while shaking off the water droplets on his face, he inspected his surroundings.

He found that he seemed to be locked in a place similar to a woodshed.

He was chained to a post.

Beside him are his son Rushui and his daughter-in-law Ah Shi.

The faces of the two of them are also wet now, and they were forced to wake up by splashing cold water, and they are also looking around in confusion.

The memory before the coma gradually regained consciousness.

After yelling loudly at Yisehua, telling Yisehua to run away and rescue soldiers, he continued to concentrate on fighting the enemy.

After struggling for a while, he accidentally let a man in black catch him.

The knife in his hand was knocked out, and then the back of his neck was hit hard, and he passed out just like that...

As soon as he finished recalling the memories before he fell into a coma, Naoki saw a man dressed as a nihilistic monk walking slowly in front of him——

"You're awake."

A cold voice came from the "Heavenly Covered Bamboo Hat" on the head of the nihilistic monk that covered his entire face.

"Tell me—where is Ogata Ittosai living in Osaka now?"

The nihilistic monk didn't even say hello, and immediately spoke to Isshiki Naoki in a tone like an order.

"Beforehand—I'm not a very patient person."

"If you don't answer quickly, I will let my subordinates use the bodies of your daughter-in-law and your granddaughter to relax in front of you."
