I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Chapter 317 One Move to Turn the Situation in One Move (Part 2)

"Just now I finally found the body of my subordinate. He died in a remote alley, and he committed suicide."

"It's not easy to cultivate such an elite who possesses superb shooting skills, but also has good skills and can kill himself in time when necessary."

"Now he's dead—Master Ryunosuke, how are you going to compensate the elite I lent you?"

"Hmph!" Long Zhisuke snorted heavily, "Compensation? You still have the nerve to ask me for compensation?"

"The person you lent me is not as good as this name."

"The task I gave him was to kill him with a single shot if he found out that the owner of the Metaphysics Hall had any intention of informing others."

"The result? As far as I know, the owner of the metaphysics hall is not dead! He is lying in the medical hall and recuperating!"

"I haven't even completed the task I assigned, and the elite you lent me is nothing more than mediocre!"

"Then--Master Ryunosuke, are you planning to renege on the debt and not intending to make any compensation?"

Hearing He Xian's rhetorical question, Ryunosuke's lips tightened instantly, and the expression on his face became tangled.

After a long silence, Ryunosuke said in a deep voice:

"...Tell me, how do you want me to compensate you?"

"Hahahaha!" As soon as Ryunosuke finished speaking, Hexian laughed a few times, "Master Ryunosuke, I was just joking with you just now."

"Since we have cooperated for a long time, it is fine to pay compensation or something."

"I came to you this time just to tell you some bad news."

"According to my investigation, the real Ogata Ittosai is really in Kyoto now."

"What?" Ryunosuke exclaimed.

"The person that the officials have been chasing now does not seem to be someone who looks very similar to Ogata Yidaosai, but the real Ogata Yidaosai." He Xian continued, "I just sent someone to imprison the Metaphysics Hall I took a look at the place where the owner's wife and daughter are. The wife and daughter of the owner of the Metaphysics Hall have been rescued."

"And Ryunosuke's subordinates who were in charge of guarding the owner's wife and daughter of the Xuanxue Museum were all beheaded."

"Among your beheaded subordinates, the whereabouts of one person is unknown. Except for one of those who died, the wound on his body was not clean enough, and the wound on the other people's body was extremely sharp."

"Judging from the traces of the fight at the scene, there were probably only two people who came to rescue the wife and daughter of the master of the Metaphysics Hall and fought with your subordinates."

"The strength of one of these two people needs to be strengthened, and the strength of the other is extremely high."

"Those of your subordinates should basically be beheaded by those extremely powerful people."

"Facing so many enemies with his own strength, but still able to cut such a sharp knife wound, he is definitely not an ordinary person."

"Currently in the whole of Kyoto, there should be no more than five fingers who can do this kind of thing. Ogata Yidaosai is the biggest suspect."

"...Master Hexian." Ryunosuke said in a deep voice, "You mean...the person who rescued the wife and daughter of the owner of the Xuanxue Museum is very likely to be the real Ogata Yidaosai?"

He Xian nodded slightly, and then continued:

"If the person who rescued the wife and daughter of the owner of the Metaphysics Museum is the real Ogata Ittosai, then things will be connected together, and everything will make sense."

"Ogata Yidao Zhai first approached the owner of the metaphysics hall for an unknown reason."

"Wife and daughter have been tied up for so long, it is impossible for the owner of the Metaphysics Museum to be indifferent. He may have found out where his wife and daughter are being held."

"After Ogata Yidaosai found him, the owner of the Xuanxue Museum asked Ogata Yidaosai to help him."

"When the owner of the Metaphysics Hall asked Ogata Isai to lend a helping hand, the sniper I lent you to monitor the owner of the Metaphysics Hall found out and immediately shot at the owner of the Metaphysics Hall. It's a pity that he missed, Failed to kill the owner of the Metaphysics Hall on the spot."

"Ogata Ittosai started chasing the sniper I borrowed from you.

"

"My subordinate is not only good at long-range shooting, but his melee skills are not weak at all."

"Ordinary warriors are really no match for him. It is impossible to be forced to the point of self-destruction."

"But it would make sense if he was facing Ogata Isai. He couldn't be Ogata Isai's opponent, so he chose to kill himself in time."

"Before the owner of the Metaphysics Hall was shot by my subordinates, Ogata Itichisai might have already learned from the owner of the Metaphysics Hall where his wife and daughter are being held."

"After solving my subordinates, Ogata Yidaosai ran to rescue the wife and daughter of the owner of the Xuanxue Museum."

"How is it? Ryunosuke-sama, how is my reasoning? The ins and outs of the matter have all been clarified."

"...What you said just now is just reasoning." Longzhisuke replied in a deep voice.

"Although what I just said is just my speculation, but Ogata Isai is really in Kyoto now-this is a fact."

"Master Hexian, how did you find out that the real Ogata Yidaosai is in Kyoto now?"

"Hehe." Hexian chuckled a few times, "Master Ryunosuke, do you know the dirty plains in Kyoto?"

"of course I know."

"The place in Huiyuan is very chaotic, and there are many people with open eyes. I sent someone to inquire there, and I learned that a person who looked like Ogata Yidaosai entered the Huiyuan around evening today. Yuan. He also went into the house of the manager of Huiyuan——Yinxin Layman.”

"Afterwards, A Gong, the follower of Layman Yinxin, personally led this person who looked like Ogata Yidao Zhai away from the dirty plain."

"Besides the real Ogata Yidaosai, there is no one else who can be treated so solemnly by the layman Yinxin?"

"...Master He Xian, thank you for your information." Ryunosuke said softly, "But it doesn't matter even if the real Ogata Ittosai is in Kyoto now."

"Those things are almost assembled."

"My plan...is about to succeed!"

After all, a ferocious smile appeared on Ryunosuke's face.

"Ryunosuke." He Xian called Ryunosuke's name again.

"What are you doing? If you have anything else to do, just talk about it quickly."

"I wish I could change your plans."

Ryunosuke's brows slowly frowned.

"Changing plans?"

"I'm going to capture Ogata Yidao Zhai alive." He Xian said with a pause, "So——let's use the Six Great Swords Hall."

...

...

Kyoto, inside the tea house where Mount Kami is hiding.

"Master Shenshan." Shenshan's assistant said respectfully to Shenshan, "It's almost time for the banquet. Please prepare. We will leave for Erjo Castle later!"

"Have you reached this point yet..." Shenshan rubbed his eyebrows with a tired face, "I see..."

After waving his hand to signal his assistant to step back, Shen Shanchang sighed.

After Hasegawa successfully rescued Mucun from prison, Hasegawa immediately sent someone to Genshenshan to announce the good news, and told Shenshan that he had decided to act with Mucun and the others.

Although Mucun has been successfully rescued from prison, this is indeed a gratifying thing.

But Shenshan couldn't be too happy.

Because he understands—it's nothing to save Mucun from prison.

That Abbe Riri would definitely not sit back and watch Mucun be rescued like this, he would definitely look at the right time to attack Mucun and Hasegawa again.

Thinking of this, Shenshan frowned involuntarily.

——One level higher than the official, it really crushes people...

Shenshan couldn't help saying so bitterly in his heart.

——Kyoto Soshidai-sama can deprive me of command over all officials in Kyoto Prefecture with just one sentence, and turn me into a bare-handed commander who can't mobilize a single soldier, except for sitting in the tea room like I am now , nothing can be done...

——Is there nothing... that I can do right now...

When the thoughts in his heart came to this point, the conversation between him and Hasegawa just now uncontrollably resurfaced in his mind...

...

...

When Hasegawa was about to leave the tea room and take Mucun and his two companions to rescue Mucun from prison, Hasegawa said to Shenshan abruptly before leaving:

"Sacred Mountain, what a tragedy."

"Why do you say that?"

"Even if we successfully rescue Mucun from prison, that Abeliri will definitely not just let it go."

"The officials in command of the Kyoto Prefecture will definitely seize the opportunity to attack us."

"Now even the Kyoto Prefecture has become our enemy. We not only have to deal with the enemies hiding in the dark, but also the Kyoto Prefecture."

"...Yeah, Hasegawa, you are right, the current situation... is really horrible..." Shenshan nodded and echoed softly, and heaved a long sigh.

"The difference in combat power between the enemy and us is quite large..." Hasegawa said in a deep voice, "We must find a way to reverse the current situation of the disparity in combat power between the enemy and us, and at the very least we must find a way to draw the combat power of the Kyoto Prefecture to our side .We now need...a move, a move...a brilliant move that can turn the current situation around."

"...You are right."

...

...

After recalling the conversation with Hasegawa, Kamiyama let out a sigh of relief.

Then he muttered in a low voice that only he could hear clearly:

"A move that can... turn the situation around...haha..."

Shenshan laughed a few times.

"Where do I go to find that move..."

Wow!

At this moment, the paper sliding door of the tea house was suddenly pulled open.

"I'm sorry, my guest. This place is booked out today."

As soon as the sound of the paper sliding door being pulled open, the proprietress who had been guarding the door of the shop immediately said respectfully to the person who came in through the sliding door.

Shenshan only thought that it was just a customer who happened to come here to drink tea, so he ignored the person who entered the shop, and didn't even look at him.

But who knows—this person then said something that Shenshan had to care about:

"I'm not here to drink tea! I'm here to find the people from Kyoto Town: Koshinosuke Kamiyama, and the leader of the Huofu Thief Kai: Hasegawa Heizo!"

As soon as this person's words fell, Shen Shan immediately raised his eyebrows, and then hurriedly raised his head and looked towards the door of the store.

I saw a young man standing at the door of the store.

On the young man's back was a one-eyed dragon who didn't know whether he passed out or fell asleep.

Holding a little girl in his right hand.

A woman follows behind.

In his left hand, he held a long rod object wrapped in layers of thick cloth.

"...I am the help of Kamiyama Eshinosuke." Looking at the young man, Kamiyama said in a deep voice, "I don't know why you are looking for me..."

Before Shenshan finished speaking, the young man rushed to the front of Shenshan in three steps at a time.

"Are you Kamiyama Eshinosuke?"

"Yeah." Shenshan nodded, "I don't know what the name is?"

"My name is Kondo Neizosuke! These two are the wife and daughter of the owner of the Metaphysics Museum, Inaba."

"Oh?" Kamiyama raised his eyebrows, "The wife and daughter of the owner of the Metaphysics Hall, Inaba?"

Shenshan has just received news about the owner of the Metaphysics Hall: the owner of the Metaphysics Hall Inaba was shot by an iron cannon from an unknown person.

Fortunately, after the rescue, the life of the owner of Inaba Museum was not in danger.

Although the disciples of the Metaphysics Hall have already reported the case to the Kyoto Prefecture, the Kyoto Prefecture already has enough things to deal with, so it can only put the "Inabakan Master Shooting Case" on hold for the time being.

"Master Shenshan!" Kondo cleared his throat, and then said seriously, "I have something very important to tell you!"

...

...

Kondo explained to Shenshan in the simplest terms possible that the wife and daughter of the owner of Inaba were kidnapped and threatened by a group of unknown people, and that the wife and daughter of the owner of Inaba had been successfully rescued by him and his master.

"...This is the weapon used by their group!" Kondo tore off the cloth wrapped around the long pole object he had been carrying in one breath, and then handed it to Shenshan in front of him, "My master said This is Nanman's new iron cannon, and it is a very rare item."

"The Inaba owner who was shot was injured by this iron cannon!"

"My master said—the wife and daughter of the owner of the Inaba house, and the one-eyed dragon on my back, are important witnesses that someone is plotting evil in Kyoto."

"And this new Nanban iron cannon, which is very rare and extremely difficult to obtain even by the government, is an important evidence that someone is plotting evil in Kyoto."

"These 3 people and this iron cannon must be handed over to you, Master Shenshan or Master Hasegawa!"

After Kamiyama took over the new iron cannon from Kondo, he looked it up and down seriously.

Shenshan had seen the appearance of Nanban's new iron cannon from a friend who worked at the Nagasaki Customs by chance before.

So with just one glance, Shenshan recognized it—it was indeed the new iron cannon of the Southern Barbarians that didn't need a matchlock.

Clutching the new Nanban iron cannon tightly in his hand, Shenshan suddenly felt a flash of lightning in his mind.

At this moment, a bold plan suddenly popped up in Shenshan's mind!

"... Kondo-kun. You kept talking about 'master' just now, who is your master?"

"My master's name? Uh..." Kondo wanted to say his master's name.

But after opening his mouth, he couldn't utter half a word.

"Too bad..." Kondo's face suddenly turned pale, "I haven't asked the master's name until now... The beautiful woman next to the master didn't say the full name of the master, but kept calling the master For 'Ayi'... but the face of the master is very familiar, I always feel as if I have seen the face of the master somewhere on the street... Where did I see the face of the master on the street..."

"...Is he really your master...? Forget it, let's skip this kind of thing for now, Kondo-kun, and you will pass on 'thank you' to your master for me later."

After all, Shenshan tightened his grip on the new iron cannon in his hand.

"Your master... really helped a lot!"

"Hasegawa... a move that can turn the whole situation around in one fell swoop... I found it!"
