I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Kyoto, the home of Fuma, the firewood room.

"It's just...a little bit..."

A look of ecstasy appeared on Heitaro's face at this moment.

After being captured by Fuma and beaten unconscious by Ogata with a scabbard, Fumo took Heitaro back home and imprisoned him in his woodshed because he had no idea what to do with the prisoner.

During the three days of being locked in the woodshed, Heitaro was always thinking about how to escape from the woodshed.

Heitaro's whole body is like a silkworm baby, firmly tied to a wooden post.

It was a blessing in misfortune—heitaro woke up briefly before being taken to this firewood house and tied to this wooden post.

Although after waking up, he was knocked unconscious again by Feng Mo, but before he was knocked unconscious again by Feng Mo, he grabbed a fairly sharp small stone and hid it in his sleeve.

For the past 3 days, Heitaro has been tirelessly cutting the thick hemp rope that binds him to the wooden post with this small stone that he secretly hid.

After three days of unremitting efforts, Heitaro finally saw the dawn of victory.

It was only a little bit away from the breaking of the hemp rope.

After realizing that the hemp rope was about to break, Heitaro felt more strength in his body, and began to use this small stone to cut the hemp rope more vigorously.

After another half an hour passed, the hemp rope tied to Heitaro's body finally snapped.

After successfully cutting off the hemp rope on his body, Heitaro hurriedly tore off the thick hemp rope tied around his body, and threw it aside roughly.

"Hiss...it hurts..."

In order to vent his depression of being trapped for three days, Heitaro threw the hemp rope a little more violently, so he accidentally pulled the wound on his body and face, and the pain made Heitaro cry out in pain.

The wounds on his body were caused by the wind demon, while the wounds on his face were given by Ogata.

At that time, when Ogata used the scabbard to knock him unconscious, he directly knocked out several teeth in his mouth.

At this moment, one side of Heitaro's cheek was still swollen, and his appearance looked ridiculous.

"Damn...!" Heitaro's eyes flashed hatred.

He is one of the Jonin in Shiranui.

In Shiranui, where the hierarchy is strict, as a Jonin, he is not only one of the high-end combat powers in Shiranui, but also enjoys a detached status in Shiranui.

Have you ever tried such a humiliating defeat?

After successfully breaking free from the hemp rope on his body and regaining his freedom, the first thought that popped up in Heitaro's mind was - revenge.

However, as soon as the idea of ​​revenge came out of Heitaro's mind, Heitaro quickly extinguished his own thought.

Three days ago, the scene of how the old man defeated him and his other three companions without any effort is still deeply engraved in the depths of Heitaro's mind.

Just thinking about the scene 3 days ago, Heitaro couldn't help but shudder.

——Run for your life first!

After saying this to himself in his heart, Heitaro no longer hesitated, quietly touched the door of the firewood room, opened the door of the firewood room and looked out.

Outside - no one.

Fuma's mansion is that kind of single-family house. There is a low wooden wall around the two-story wooden house, which just encloses a small yard.

The firewood house and water well of Fengmo's family happened to be located in this small courtyard.

In the whole of Kyoto, there are only two places with this kind of single-family house.

One kind of place is where rich people live.

The other kind of place is the kind of remote place where the birds don't shit, and if you invite people to live there, no one will live there.

Only in such a remote place where few people live can there be enough space to build a "detached" style house.

Except for these two types of places, the houses in other places are all "longhouse" houses because of the small land and large population.

After confirming that no one was outside, Heitaro slowly pulled the door of the firewood room out of a crack just wide enough for him to pass through, and then dexterously slid out of the firewood room along the crack.

Because Fuma didn't cook for him seriously, he has been in a state of half-starvation for the past three days, and his injuries have not been treated well, but even in a state of poor health, Heitaro's The footsteps are still flexible and powerful.

Although there was only one door separating him, the air outside the firewood room made Heitaro feel extraordinarily comfortable.

After greedily taking a deep breath, Heitaro began to run towards the low wall not far away.

Looking at the low wall that was getting closer and closer to him, the fiery color in Heitaro's eyes gradually rose.

He vaguely saw - freedom was behind that wall.

However... just when he was about halfway away from the wall, a voice that he least wanted to hear suddenly sounded behind him.

"Hey, ninja in Shiranui, where are you going?"

Hearing this voice, Heitaro's body suddenly froze in place.

Cold sweat began to break out from Heitaro's forehead.

He turned his stiff neck and looked back—the Fuma who was holding a bowl and a rag in his hand was standing behind him.

He is washing dishes.

"Ninja in Shiranui, I'm washing the dishes right now and I can't spare a hand, so——I'll give you a chance to get lost in my firewood shed."

While admonishing Heitaro like this, Fuma did not stop his hands washing the dishes.

Heitaro stared at Fuma with cold sweat on his face.

His face was blue and white for a while.

It can be seen that he is quite hesitant at this time.

After hesitating for an unknown amount of time, Heitaro gritted his teeth, and a bit of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

Then—

Turn around and run without the slightest hesitation!

Heitaro sprinted towards the wall at full speed with the highest speed he could achieve.

Looking at Heitaro who ignored his advice, Fuma sighed lightly:

"Why are you young people always like this... Always look down on old people..."

After all, Feng Mo passed the rag from his left hand to his right, and then shook his left hand!

A slender black shadow shot out from the wide sleeve of his left hand, and swept towards Heitaro's left leg like a black whip.

It is an iron chain thicker than an adult's index finger.

This slender iron chain accurately hit Heitaro's left leg, and the crisp sound of bone shattering echoed.

Heitaro slumped on the ground, screaming like a pig being slaughtered.

Feng Mo shook his left hand again, and retracted the iron chain into his wide sleeve.

"As you get old, you really can't control your strength very well..." Feng Mo sighed softly.

Squeak.

At this moment, there was a sound of opening a window on the second floor.

It was Ogata who had just heard the scream and opened the window.

After hearing the screams, Xu immediately ran to the window and opened it to check the situation outside.

After glancing at Heitaro, who was clutching his leg, rolling on the ground, and screaming, Ookai roughly guessed what happened.

Fuma had informed Ogata of the fact that Fuma had captured Heitaro during dinner just now.

As for how Fuma broke Heitaro's leg... To be honest, Ogata is used to seeing everything on Fuma that shouldn't be something that an old man can do.

"Master Fuma, do you need my help?" Ogata asked.

"No, no, no." Fuma waved his hand, and said to Ogata while walking towards Heitaro, "It's just a small matter. You can continue to rest."

When he finished saying this, Fuma had just grabbed Heitaro by the collar, dragging Heitaro towards the firewood room like a dead dog.

Seeing that Fuma really didn't seem to need his help, Ogata closed the window again, and turned to look at Machi who was packing up the old linen that had been removed from Ogata's body.

"Then——I'll help Mr. Fuma clean up the house first. You should go to bed early."

Speaking of this, Ah Ding paused.

Then, with a tone that seemed to be telling some big secret, he lowered his voice and said to Ogata:

"Ayi, do you know? During the three days I lived in Mr. Fumo's house, I found that Mr. Fumo's body is not so weak that he can't even clean it."

"He just became lazy and didn't want to clean anymore, which made the house so dirty."

Ogata smiled: "This is inevitable, after all, when people get older, it is easy to breed laziness... Sigh...!"

Before Ogata finished speaking, a gasping voice replaced the rest of his words.

While gasping for air, Ogata suddenly raised his hand to cover his left neck.

"Ayi, what's the matter?" A Ding asked hurriedly.

"It's nothing..." Ogata, who was clutching his left neck, said softly, "It should just be an accidental wound on the left neck."

There is a not-so-deep cut on Ogata's left neck, which was cut by the sickle thrown by Kotaro during the duel with Kotaro who had entered the "Yasha Realm".

"Really, be careful with me. It will be very troublesome if the wound is opened."

"Understood." Ogata said to A-Machi after touching the back of his left neck that was no longer in pain.

...

...

At this moment, the home of Fengmo, Chaifang.

After re-tying Heitaro to the wooden post with hemp rope, Fuma leaned over to check the injury on Heitaro's leg.

"Well... I broke the bone... I'll get some medicine for you later."

"The iron chain..." Heitaro couldn't even utter a complete sentence due to the severe pain, he could only spit out words one by one, "What's going on..."

It was the same way 3 nights ago.

He and his other three companions besieged the old man.

And this old man used the iron chain in his left hand to defeat him and his three companions effortlessly.

His three companions were either hit hard on the head or hard on the throat. Died directly on the spot.

And he didn't die at the hands of the old man because the old man wanted to leave a life alive to ask "Why are you looking for Ah Ding".

"Chain manipulation." After checking Heitaro's leg injuries, Fuma stood up and said slowly, "I created a combat technique that combines both offense and defense."

Speaking of this, Feng Mo changed into a slightly mocking tone.

"As a ninja in Shiranui, haven't you heard your elders say——10 years ago, there was a lunatic who used iron chains and turned your base in Shiranui upside down?"

"From another point of view, you are also lucky. You may be the last person in this world who can see this chain technique."

"After all, I don't have any occasions where I can use this iron chain, and I don't plan to spread this technology to the outside world."

After leaving this faint ridicule, Fuma ignored Heitaro, picked up the half-washed bowl in his hand, and walked out of the firewood room.

...

...

Because of the need to recuperate from his injuries, and there is no urgent matter to deal with now, Ogata tasted the feeling of "sleeping until he wakes up naturally" after a long absence.

He slept very soundly, and slept until the sun was high in the sky, and Ogata woke up faintly.

After getting out of the futon spread on the tatami, Ogata opened the window to take a look at the sky outside and the position of the sun.

——Is it past 9 o'clock in the morning...

According to the position of the sun, Ogata roughly judged the current time.

Just as Ogata was relaxing the muscles and bones of his body with gentle movements that would not hurt the wound on his body, A-Machi's hurried voice suddenly sounded from outside the room:

"Ayi! Are you awake?"

"Just woke up, what's wrong?"

"Hurry up and wash up and get dressed. There are guests coming!"

"Guest? Oh, Kondo, is he here?"

"It's not Kondo? It's Ms. Kinoshita!"

"Kinoshita?" Ogata raised his eyebrows.

"Miss Kinoshita didn't come by herself, she brought all her subordinates!"

...

...

After changing clothes and washing as quickly as possible, Ogata hurried to the living room on the first floor.

Entering the living room, Xu Bian saw Lin and his party kneeling on the side of the low table in the center of the living room.

Mucun, Asai, and Shimada all knelt and sat behind Lin in an orderly manner.

But behind Mucun and the others sat a young man whom Ogata didn't know.

Feng Mo was sitting on the other side of the low table, facing Lin and his party.

Seeing Ogata and A-Ming coming, Fuma beckoned them to sit down beside him.

After calling the two to sit down, Feng Mo got up and left to prepare tea and snacks for everyone.

After Ogata sat down on the tatami, Lin, who was sitting just opposite Ogata, slightly raised the corners of her mouth and said:

"It seems that we are really lucky to find you so soon."

Ogata raised an eyebrow:

"Are you looking for me?"

"That's right." Lin nodded, "I don't know where you are hiding in Kyoto now, so I can only find places where you might be one by one."

"Because I cleaned Lord Fuma's house with you, I wondered if you would hide with Lord Fuma, so the first place we went was Lord Fuma's house."

"I came here this time to find you, mainly to thank you."

After all, Lin lowered her head slightly, then bowed her head to Ogata and said:

"I have heard from Makimura and Shimada in detail about what happened four nights ago."

"Thank you for helping my companion."

"Listen to Mucun and the others—if it wasn't for your help, they would have been in danger that night four days ago."

"Ah, I don't need to thank you." Ogata waved his hand, "4 nights ago, I also received a lot of help from Mucun and the others. Moreover, what Mucun and the others said was a bit exaggerated. How could there be anything without me? With help, they are in danger so exaggerated..."

Lin slowly straightened her drooping head.

"You helped my companion, no matter how you say it, you have to return this favor."

"To show my gratitude, I brought this man here who you must be very interested in."

After finishing speaking, Lin made a gesture of "please" to the young man kneeling behind them.

"That...excuse me—is he?" Ogata asked.

"He is Xuanren. That is Xuanzheng's apprentice, Xuanzhi's junior."

Hearing Lin's words, Ogata's pupils suddenly shrank, and then quickly focused on the young man, that is, Xuanren.

Looking at Xuanren's eyes, complex colors gradually rose.

He came to the capital this time to look for the master-student pair named Xuanzheng and Xuanzhi who may be the culprit of the "ogre rebellion" in Butterfly Island and who may be able to cure the immortal poison in his body.

It is for this simple purpose that I came to Kyoto.

And then got involved in a lot of trouble...

Regarding the cooperation agreement between Lin's group and Shenshan, Ogata also heard about it from Mucun four nights ago.

So after seeing Xuanren, Xu conveniently knew that Xuanren should be Shenshan, in order to fulfill the promise with Lin and his party, he was released and handed over to Lin and others.

"Ogata Yidao Zhai." Lin said softly, "I know that you came to the capital this time to find the master and apprentice who might be able to cure the immortal poison in your body."

"So you must really need Xuanren who might know something."

"So I plan to share with you all the information Xuanren knows—this is my thank you for helping my companion."

After saying that, Lin turned her head and looked at Xuanren.

"Okay, Your Excellency Xuanren, I hope you can answer me well for every question I ask next."

"Yes..." Xuanren seemed a little stiff and nervous, while nodding, he swallowed hard.

"First question: Do you have a master and apprentice named Xuanzheng. And a senior brother named Xuanzhen?"

"Yes." Xuanren replied without thinking.

"Second question: Where are your master and brother now?"

"In Ezo." Xuanren replied without thinking again.

"Ezodi?!" 5

Lin, Makimura, Asai, Shimada, and Atachi yelled in unison.

Although Ogata didn't yell, but the slightly shrunken pupils also meant that his heart was not at peace at this moment.
