I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan - Chapter 654

Hot recommendation:

It is a common sense in the world that the sun goes out in the east and sets in the west. At about 6 o’clock in the afternoon, the sun moved half way to the west skyline.

After exhausting all his energy and sprinkling bunches of sunset that still makes people feel hot and humid, it finally sinks into the ground slowly.

The sun goes down and the night hangs.

Tonight is a sunny day, and the moonlight illuminates every street in Osaka like daylight.

“Oh.” While stirring the soup in the cauldron in front of him with a huge spoon, Ah Ding turned to look at the moon outside the window and exclaimed, “Tonight is a full moon night, the moon is so beautiful.”

“Miss Ading.” At this moment, Azhu, who was sitting across from Ading, said, “The white radish has already been cut.”

“Okay.” Ah Ding moved his gaze back to the cauldron in front of him, “Come on, give me the white radish.”

Ogata was sitting by the window at this time, sorting out his slightly tangled bun.

After tidying up his hair, he picked up the knife placed next to him and stood up slowly.

“Then I’m going to get the knife.” Ogata hung back to his left waist the two bargains used to temporarily replace Da Shaten and Da Zizao.

“Yeah. Remember to go and come back soon.” Acho said the white radish sliced ​​by Azhu to the pot, “The hoe-yaki will be cooked in a while, but don’t let the two of us wait too long. Oh.”

“Don’t worry. According to my estimation-when I took the knife back, you probably hadn’t cooked your hoe.”

Hoe-yaki-one of the classic Japanese dishes.

It has a more familiar name: Sukiyaki.

The so-called hoe-yaki can be understood as Japanese hot pot.

This dish originally originated from the peasant class. For the convenience of eating, farmers often put the food directly on the top of the hoe, and then just roast it and eat it, so the name “hoe burn” was given.

With the passage of time, this crude dish originally created by the peasant class gradually spread and spread. Until now, in the Kuanzheng period, hoe-yaki has become a famous dish loved by all classes.

“You have to pay attention,” Ogata said in a serious tone, “Don’t burn other people’s inn.”

“Don’t worry.” Ah Ding shook the big spoon in her hand, “We won’t make this kind of mistake.”

Tonight, Ogata and the others decided to eat hoe-yaki in their hotel room.

After arriving in Osaka, Ogata and the others went to the restaurants outside the hotel to settle every meal.

Although the food in each restaurant is delicious, but for some reason, to this day, Ogata and the others have not encountered a restaurant that cooked to their liking.

Ogata’s feelings for hot pot are neither good nor bad, and it’s just a trivial matter for Ogata to eat delicious hoe-yaki.

But Ah Ding and A Zhu thought otherwise.

Hoe-yaki is one of the favorite things for these two female ninjas. Especially Ah Ding, she has unusual feelings for hoe-yaki.

Ah Ding really likes the feeling of sitting around a big pot with his friends, chatting happily, and cooking food in the pot together.

Tomorrow morning, they will leave Osaka together with Genichi and Makimura to go to Koyasan.

Starting from tomorrow, and perhaps for a long time in the future, they will not have the conditions to sit quietly and happily together to eat cooking.

So at noon today, A Ding proposed: Tonight, let’s have a meal in the hotel!

As soon as Ah Ding made this proposal, Ah Zhu immediately expressed his agreement.

In the face of such enthusiastic Amachi, Ogata naturally couldn’t find any reason to refute her. He was a person who was not particular about eating, so he agreed.

In the afternoon, it took a long time for the three of Ogata, Amachi, and Azhu to persuade the people at the hotel to allow them to set up pots and cooks in their rooms.

Originally, they wanted to call the Wind Demon, and the four of them came together to have a lively meal.

But it’s a pity-Feng Mo has an appointment tonight, and he is going to eat at his old subordinate: Xianbingwei’s home tonight.

When it comes to cooking, Ogata can be regarded as a complete half-hearted, he can only cook the food to eat, but can not cook the food delicious.

Therefore, knowing that staying in the hotel wouldn’t help Ogata, he decided to go to the second master at this time to get his Da Shi Tian and Da Zi Zao back.

Today is the day he and Master Yu Er agreed to take the sword.

On this day, Ogata has been waiting for a long time.

He could not wait to see how Master Yu Er had repaired his knife.

Ogata had planned to fetch the sword tonight, so the time was right to fetch the sword in the gap between Amachi and Azuchi.

When they took the knife back, Ah Ding and the others probably cooked the **** to the fullest, making the most of their time.

Although he knew that Amachi was not the kind of idiot who could light the house by cooking a meal, Ogata seriously urged Amachi and Azhu to use fire carefully for the sake of caution.

After the instruction was over, Ogata took his dark blue haori, hat and face towel on the ground next to him.

“Then I’m leaving.” Ogata wears Haori, a hat and a face towel.

“Do you really need to ask Azhu or me to accompany you to fetch the knife?” Ading asked.

“No need,” Ogata said in a sullen tone, “I am not a kid who needs someone to accompany and stare at everything. I will be back soon.”

After all, Ogata stopped staying any longer, and after tightening the Haori who was draped tightly, he hurriedly left the room.

As soon as he walked out of the hotel, although the stocks were a bit cold, the breeze that did not make people feel uncomfortable on his face pounced on Ogata’s face one after another.

—What a comfortable night…

Looking at the full moon hanging in the sky, Ogata’s cheeks smiled.

The weather is clear, the full moon is in the sky, and the gentle breeze is blowing—Ogata hasn’t encountered such a comfortable night in a long time.

It will take a long time for Amachi and the others to cook the **** and grill, so Ogata is not in a hurry, and walks slowly towards the residence of Master Yuichi with a steady and unhurried pace.

Using modern time units, it is about half past six in the afternoon.

The night did not completely lose its vitality to this “Japan’s No. 1 Commercial Capital”.

The air is filled with a faint smell of food, the streets are still crowded with cars, Shinmachi and many other places that can only show vitality at night, have shown dizzying prosperity.

The residence of Master Yuer is located in a very remote place in Osaka.

Ogata, who headed straight towards the residence of Master Toji, left the lively streets one after another.

Farther and farther away from the prosperous place.

It’s getting closer and closer to the deserted place.

Soon, few vendors’ shouts and the rumbling of wheels turning came into Ogata’s ears, and there was no enticing fragrance lingering on the tip of his nose.

The light shining around Ogata’s body was only moonlight.

It’s like coming to another world.

…

…

In the top-floor room of a deserted hotel in Osaka—

“Baixiang. How? Did the target appear?” A handsome man with a cold expression asked a grim-faced one-eyed man sitting beside him.

The one-eyed man known as “worshiping the village” has nothing in his left eye socket, only a terrifying hole.

He held a single scope with both hands, and pressed his only eye tightly to the lens.

“Not yet.” Baixiang curled his lips, “Ha…it’s really boring… Sakuma, when are we going to wait like this?”

“Wait until our target Shura appears.” Toshio…that is, Sakuma said coldly.

“It’s really troublesome…” Baixiang put down his binoculars, and then put his left index finger into his empty left eye socket, picking up the dust in his left eye socket, “Isn’t that so straightforward that Shura will go to get the knife today?” “

“We have been ambushing for so long in the place where Shura must pass when we took the sword. Why haven’t we seen the figure of Shura until now?”

“Isn’t that Yishi Zhizhou revealing false information to us?”

“Today is not over yet.” Sakuma’s tone was still cold, “Keep waiting. Maybe Shura will come to get the knife at night.”

“Tsk…” Baixiang curled his lips, “Fortunately, tonight is sunny with a full moon, with a good view.”

After complaining, Baixiang raised the telescope again.

As soon as the camera came back to his eyes, Baixiang’s expression was taken aback.

“Ha ha!”

A grinning smile appeared on Baixiang’s face.

“Sakuma, our painstaking efforts are finally not in vain!”

Sakuma was stunned at first when he heard the words of worshiping the village, then he quickly took out the binoculars from his arms and looked towards a certain street in the distance.

A figure draped in dark blue haori, wearing a hat and a face towel is reflected in the lens.

“…The characteristics are exactly the same.” Sakuma slowly lowered his binoculars, “Waiting to the village, get ready to work.”

…

…

Ogata looked around, looked at the unusually desolate street where he was currently, and couldn’t help feeling:

—It’s really deserted here… Sure enough, no matter how developed the city is, there must be a few places in the city that are very desolate.

This is the only place to go to the residence of Master Yuji, so Ogata has visited this place once before.

Before, Ogata was surprised by the desertedness of this place.

Even though he had witnessed the desertedness of this place once, Ogata still couldn’t conceal the emotion in his heart when passing by this place again.

However, at this moment, Ogata’s footsteps stopped.

-wrong…

Ogata suddenly looked around with alert eyes.

He knew that this place was indeed deserted.

But here and now, it’s too “desolate”.

It’s not that people or voices are too few.

But there was a strange coldness in the air.

Ogata didn’t know how to use words to describe the chills in the air at this time.

This is the coldness that a person like him who has experienced many battles can feel.

Wow! Wow!

Suddenly, there were rapid footsteps behind Ogata.

Ogata immediately looked behind him—

I saw two groups of people gushing from the left and right sides of the street corner behind him like a tide.

The two groups of people quickly rushed to the center of the street, forming a tight three-line array.

The total number of these three columns is about 60.

They are wearing knives and side guards around their waists.

In their hands, they all held weapons that dazzled people under the moonlight.

Flintlock!

Looking at the more than 60 flaring flintlocks, Ogata’s pupils shrank suddenly.

And at the same moment that Ogata’s pupils zoomed—

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang…

The person standing in the first column leveled the flintlock in his hand, pointed the muzzle at Ogata, and pulled the trigger.

The movements of these musketeers were neat and uniform and extremely fast.

But Ogata’s 15 o’clock reflex nerves brought Ogata’s reaction speed faster than the movements of the Musketeers.

The reflex nerve at 15 o’clock and the agility at 18 o’clock matched each other, Ogata jumped and jumped into a dim alley next to him.

The bullets whizzed past like rain.

Although the accuracy of the flintlocks is poor, the distance between these gunners and Ogata is only more than 40 meters.

At such a short distance, there are always so many shots that can hit the target.

In fact, it is true.

If Ogata had stood still stupidly just now, at least 5 bullets would have shot his body through.

As soon as he leaped into the alley, Xu Jian immediately took a knife from his waist like a conditioned reflex.

The sudden attack caused chaotic thoughts to pass through Ogata’s mind one by one.

-Flintlocks… They are not government officials… Then who are they?

Ogata’s face was sinking now.

He saw clearly just now that the weapons these people were holding were not matchlocks, but genuine flintlocks.

The guns used by the Edo shogunate are still matchlocks, so the possibility that this group of people are officials from the government can be ruled out first.

At the moment when the Edo shogunate closed the country and despised firearms, let alone flintlocks, matchlocks were very rare, and it was extremely difficult for civil organizations to even get matchlocks.

And this group of people who suddenly attacked him can pull out more than sixty flintlocks in one go…

Not only that, judging from the actions of these people just now, they are not just ordinary people with firearms.

No matter how they looked at the neat and uniform movements and neat queues, they were all well-trained elite teachers.

Who are these people? Why did you attack him with such a big fanfare…

There are too many clear questions to ask.

At the moment, the question Ogata wants to clarify most is: Is the goal of this group of people alone, or is it that Amachi and Azuchi, who are with him, are also one of their goals.

Just before leaving the house, the scene of Amachi and Azhu happily cooking hoe-yaki, flashed through Ogata’s mind.

Ogata’s face was so gloomy now that it could drip out at any time.

…

…

“It’s Shura… you can hide here.” Baixiang, who was standing at the back of the gun array, was hiding in the distance and grinned. “He hid in that alley. What a pity… ours. I can’t see the scene in the alley from the angle of view. Otherwise, I really want to see what the famous Shura looks like.”

“Master Toyotomi is really amazing. The decision to invite the’English Army instructors to train our warriors’ is really wise.”

“Sakuma, look, these superb moves of our warriors are no different from the English Red Army.”

“Asura, he is now fighting against the English Red Army rather than my Toyotomi Warriors.”

Baixiang was talking freely there.

Sakuma did not immediately respond to these words made by Baixiang.

Instead, he waved his hand first:

“go ahead.”

As soon as Sakuma gave this order, the three musketeers standing in front of him and Baixiang immediately took their guns, stepped neatly, and stepped forward slowly.

After ordering the musketeers forward and backward, Sakuma calmly said to Baixiang beside him:

“Under the training of those British Army instructors, our warriors’ movements are so exquisite that they are indeed on par with the English Red Army.”

“But in terms of strength, it’s still far behind the Red Army that English has ever had.”

“Not to mention anything else, our warriors have great shortcomings just based on actual combat experience.”

…

…

—I have to go back to the hotel…

Although he was worried about Amachi and Azuku who might not be attacked, Ogata did not lose his composure because of this.

Even if he heard the sound of enemies from outside the alley approaching here, Ogata didn’t feel nervous or flustered at all.

This is the xinxing cultivated after many battles and storms.

— The two broken knives I am carrying now… as long as they are hit by a bullet, they will probably break.

Ogata glanced at the sword that he was holding in his right hand and the wakasa who was still hanging around his waist.

Ogata still knows how inferior the quality of these two bargains I bought temporarily is.

-With these 2 knives… I want to split the bullets that came over, which is completely idiotic.

—In other words…Is it only possible to dodge the bullets that come…

Ogata listened to the footsteps of the enemies outside the alley.

—The distance between them and me…about 30 meters left…

—They walk very slowly… Do you know that the alley where I am currently hiding is a dead end, so I can’t escape at all…

Ogata turned his head and looked towards the end of the alley not far away-the alley he was hiding in was very narrow and short, and he could see the bottom of the alley that was so sealed at a glance.

—They are very familiar with the layout of the alleys of this street…that is to say, they have spied this place in advance… come here prepared.

Based on his current observations, Ogata quickly reasoned out that this group of enemies who did not know the details had come prepared.

These people who don’t know the details know that he will pass through this place today, and then they start reconnaissance in this place in advance and lay an ambush.

Ogata retracted his gaze from the bottom of the alley.

—The actions of this group of people are the same as those of the army… completely different from the Cossacks they had encountered in Ezo.

-Those Cossacks who had previously faced off in Ezo land can only be regarded as stragglers.

—First… Let’s try it a little bit.

Ogata picked up an empty bottle at his feet and threw it to the outside of the alley.

From the perspective of the musketeers who couldn’t see the situation in the alley, a wine bottle flew out of the alley abruptly.

When he threw the bottle out, Ogata heard clearly—the footsteps of the musketeers were clearly messy. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

—The sound of footsteps was messed up… They were shocked by the bottle I threw out.

—So easy to be surprised by emergencies, their nerves are highly strained.

Ogata said so confidently in his heart.

-Although the movements are superb, but the character is still lacking… This shows that their actual combat experience is quite insufficient.

—In that case… they must be very bad at dealing with enemies that would make them unexpected.

Ogata raised his head and looked at the eaves of the two wooden houses that sandwiched the alley where he is currently.

A plan that could quickly defeat this group of enemies quickly took shape in Ogata’s mind.

However…

At this moment—

“Well…!”

Ogata’s eyes suddenly widened, and he raised his hand to press his left neck.

There was pain in the left neck…

The pain that came from Ogata’s left neck quickly spread throughout Ogata’s body, making Ogata feel like needles everywhere in his body.

“Damn…” Ogata gritted his teeth and let out a low growl, “Why… at this moment… pull my hind legs…”
