I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan - Chapter 690

Latest URL: Even if it has not been seen for several years.

Even in these few years, the appearance has changed dramatically.

Azhu also has the absolute certainty of recognizing his sister Ajiu at a glance.

There is no particular reason.

Just because she is Ajiu’s older sister.

Just now, in Longshui Temple, when he saw Chu Guang for the first time, Azhu almost cried out because of his emotional excitement.

There can be no mistake, I found her, I found her – the next moment after seeing the first light, A Zhu shouted so excitedly in his heart.

After shouting excitedly in Yu’s heart, Azhu could not wait to jump directly on Chuguang’s body, while hugging Chuguang tightly, while crying with joy, he repeated “I found you” and “I finally found you” over and over again. .

However, Jijiu and Lady Lao, who were still alive at that time and were still fighting with Yuan Yi and the others, made Azhu can only suppress his excitement first, and temporarily regarded Chu Guang as a stranger, and followed Yuan Yi’s orders. Drag Chu Guang, who was lying on the ground at the time and was easily injured by accident, to the corner of the room and protect Chu Guang.

A Zhu has been suppressing his excitement and desire to recognize Chu Guang.

It was suppressed until the battle with Jijiu and the others ended.

Until they took Chuguang and Chaida, who were “captured” by them, from Longshui Temple to the Buddhist temple where they had been hiding before.

It has been suppressed until… Now it is difficult to pretend to be stupid, and it is difficult to suppress the excitement in the heart.

A Zhu’s two words just now naturally attracted everyone’s attention.

Fuuma, Asai, and Shimada all know why Azhu is acting with Ogata.

Therefore, after Azhu’s shouts fell, they all looked at Azhu and Chuguang back and forth with surprised eyes.

Hatsumi and Shibata, their current identities, are the captives of A-machi and Genichi.

But even though they were prisoners, A-ding and the others gave these two extremely generous treatment. They did not rudely tie them with hemp ropes, but only tied their wrists and ankles.

At this moment, Azhu looked at the beautiful prisoner in front of her with excitement, anticipation, and an expression that seemed to cry out loud at any time.

However… only a breathless time passed after Azhu shouted “You are Ajiu, right”, and the expression on Azhu’s face… slowly froze.

Because she saw… Chu Guang was scanning her up and down with suspicious eyes.

“Ajiu…? I’m sorry, you recognized the wrong person.” Chuguang frowned slightly, “My name is Chuguang, not Ajiu.”

“Yes, yes.” Shibata, who was sitting beside Chuguang, nodded sharply at this time, “You must have identified the wrong person. Her name is Chuguang, not Ajiu.”

With their expressions frozen, there were also Fuuma, Shimada, and Asai.

The three of them were extremely tacit at the same time, turning their stunned expressions into a more intense gaze, and turned back to A Zhu.

“got the wrong person?”

With a dull face, Ah Zhu repeated in a low voice what Chu Guang had just said to her.

“Yeah.” Chuguang nodded, “Chuguang is the name my parents gave me. I have never had the name Ajiu. You must have misunderstood me and your family.”

The next moment Chuguang’s voice fell, Ah Zhu’s originally round and big eyes were stared at a little bit bigger.

A Zhu just stared at the first light with her round eyes.

The eyes of the two women did not last long.

After only a moment, Azhu took the initiative to look away and moved to his toes.

“…I see… It seems that I really made a mistake…”

Ah Zhu half closed his eyes, showing a lonely expression, the tip of his nose was slightly red.

“Sorry to bother you…because you look a lot like my long-lost sister…”

“…It’s okay.” Chu Guang lowered his gaze and looked at his toes, “It’s a common thing to admit the wrong person or something.”

Fuuma, Asai, and Shimada looked at each other at this time.

Lord Wind Demon! Hurry up and say something to comfort the girl——Asai and Shimada both looked at Feng Mo with their eyes.

After reading the meaning of Asai and Shimada’s eyes, Fuuma couldn’t help twitching the corners of his mouth.

What Feng Mo is not good at is comforting others, especially these young people who are less than 20 years old.

However, he is the oldest among all the people present, and he is also the person who has the closest relationship with A Zhu, so the job of “comforting A Zhu” is indeed not suitable for anything other than him. selected.

“Cough cough… Uh… Ah Zhu, don’t be too sad, one day you will find your family. Eh… ah, yes! Do you want to eat Tangtang? I happen to have Baojinpingtang here. “

After squeezing words that he felt could comfort Azhu from his stomach like toothpaste, Feng Mo stretched his hand into his arms and planned to take out the candy.

“Thank you… I like eating Jinping Candy the most…” After wiping his eyes and nose with the back of his hands, Azhu sat beside Feng Mo in a well-behaved posture.

“Come on, eat whatever you want.” Feng Mo handed a small packet of Jinping Candy to Azhu, “But don’t eat too much. Too much Jinping Candy will damage your teeth.”

“My lord… Don’t mention the disappointing thing that your teeth will break…” After glancing at Feng Mo with a helpless look, Asai cast his gaze back out the window.

But just as Asai cast his gaze back out the window, his expression immediately froze.

“Master Yuan, they are back!”

Asai’s words just fell, and there were intensive footsteps of “tom tom tom” outside the door of the room.

Immediately after—

Wow.

The door was pulled open.

The blood-stained people headed by Yuan Yi entered the room along the opened door.

…

…

Following behind Yuan Yi, after entering the room, Ou Fang saw familiar faces.

“Ogata-sama! You’re finally back!” Azu, whose nose was no longer red, hurried to Ogata in three steps and two steps, widening his eyes as he circled around Ogata. , carefully looking at Ogata from head to toe, “You’re not injured anywhere, are you?”

“Azhu, I’m fine.” Ogata smiled, “Azhu, Kaze-sama, Asai, Shimada, I’m relieved to see that you are all ok.”

“I was just worried about whether Master Yuan and the others would not find you. It seems that I was overthinking it.” Asai, who didn’t like to laugh, gave a rare smile.

Shimada, who had been lying on his back and resting on the ground due to his leg injury, hurriedly put up his upper body. After seeing the familiar figure among the returning Genichi and others, a happy smile immediately bloomed on Shimada’s face. .

“Ogata-senpai! It’s great that you’re fine! Huh? Ogata-senpai, who is the person you’re dragging with your right hand?”

“It’s an important prisoner. When he wakes up later, he has to ask for some information from his mouth.”

“Brother Ogata! I finally see you!” Feng Mo, who was suffering from back pain, tried his best to stand up from the ground regardless of the pain in his back, “I was really worried about me when I knew your whereabouts were unknown before, when I knew you were there After the northwest of Osaka, I wanted to save you too, but my waist was finally overwhelmed after tossing for half a night, so I could only be with Asai and Shimada, who were injured, and who was in charge of taking care of us. Ah Zhu is staying here… ah, my waist hurts…”

“Master Feng, I heard that your waist is hurting, you’d better lie down quickly…”

After greeting his companions one by one, Ogata slowly shifted his gaze to… Hatsumi and Shibata, who were sitting in the corner of the room.

When Mr. Yuan went to the temporary base set up by the Gourd House and his party, Ogata had already learned many things from A-cho that he did not know——

What happened to A-Ming, Huluya and the others tonight. Valley

How did A-cho and the others discover Longshui Temple, and how they defeated the enemies in Longshui Temple.

And… how did A-cho and the others meet Hatsuko by chance, and then learned from Hatsuko that he was in the northwest of Osaka at that time.

When Ogata was looking at Hatsumi, Hatsumi was also looking at Ogata.

At this moment, Chu Guang’s red lips parted slightly, and towards Ogata showed an unbelievable expression.

“Ogata Ichitosai…” she murmured, “You actually… captured the left and right guards alive?”

“Yaoemon? Oh, so this guy is called Zaemon?” Ogata turned his head and glanced at his right hand.

His right hand, like a dead dog, was dragging a fainting “giant” without arms – this “giant” was Yoemon.

Ogata casually threw the left and right guards dragged by his right hand to the ground: “This person should know a lot of useful information, so I saved his life.”

“Miss Hatsumi, I have already heard from my wife and Miss Isshiki about you. When I learned that the ‘Osaka No. 1 artist’ I knew was actually the Iga ninja lurking in Osaka, I was really taken aback…”

“Miss Isshiki?” Hatsumi’s eyebrows twitched suddenly, and then he moved his eyes and looked to Ogata’s left and right.

Because the attention just now was drawn by the left and right guards dragged by Ogata, Hatsumi didn’t notice until now——on the left of Ogata, stood a girl who had just separated from her for more than an hour. .

“…Miss Chuguang.” Isshiki pursed her lips and whispered to Chuguang, “We meet again…”

“…No matter what happens in front of my eyes now, I shouldn’t be surprised.” Chuguang said half-jokingly after being silent for a while.

…

…

Somewhere about 8 kilometers northeast of Osaka——

“How? Is the person who sent Osaka to check the situation back?” Baba asked the lieutenant in front of him anxiously.

“No.” The lieutenant grimaced and shook his head vigorously, “I haven’t returned yet.”

“Why haven’t you come back yet…” The horse farm’s mouth curled into an impatient arc, holding the knife around his waist, and continued to circle around the place anxiously.

After learning of the difference in Koyasan, Matsudaira immediately ordered Osaka Castle on behalf of Horita Masaru to secretly gather all the troops in Osaka and surrounding areas.

This order has been implemented for a long time.

Matsudaira’s intended goal was to assemble an army of at least a thousand people.

However, due to various reasons such as the weakening of the administrative capacity of the shogunate and the lack of armament, only half of Matsudaira’s intended target has been completed – only 500 people have completed the mobilization.

The 500 mobilized generals were stationed in an unremarkable forest area about 8 kilometers northeast of Osaka.

At present, the person who temporarily shoulders the heavy responsibility of commanding these 500 generals is this middle-aged man who is currently anxiously circling in circles – Baba Toutaro.

The current task of the horse farm is to lead the 500 generals and silently wait for the mobilization and assembly of the remaining troops.

The 500 generals were stationed at a distance of 8 kilometers from Osaka. Naturally, at such a long distance, they could not even see the shadow of Osaka.

However—even though they couldn’t see the shadow of Osaka, they were still able to see the faint light of fire.

Since night fell, the horse farm and others saw the direction of Osaka constantly flashing orange-red light.

This orange-red light was particularly dazzling against the backdrop of the night and the moonlight.

As Japan’s current No. 1 commercial capital, Osaka’s housing density is still higher than that of Kyoto, and it is no less than that of Edo.

In the Edo period, there was an equation that was close to the truth——

The denser the city = the easier it is to be burned into a white field by a fire.

It happened a few years ago in the Tenmyo Fire, which destroyed 80% of the buildings in Kyoto.

The “Meili Fire” occurred more than 100 years ago in the Meili period, which turned two-thirds of Edo into ruins.

Osaka is very lucky, and has not suffered a major fire that turned most of the city into ruins like Kyoto and Edo.

But it just hasn’t happened yet.

After seeing the orange-red rays of light, a terrifying conjecture emerged uncontrollably in the horse farm’s mind – whether Osaka has also suffered from the “Tianming Fire” and “Mingli Fire”. fire?

This conjecture made the cold sweat on the horse farm, and the cold sweat oozing from the pores of his body directly wet his clothes.

He acted decisively – dispatched some staff to go to Osaka immediately to find his superiors and ask about the situation.

On his side, he is ready to lead the entire army to Osaka to participate in disaster relief at any time.

The horse farm is a native of Osaka, and when he thinks that the fire is raging in his hometown, he can’t hold back his anxiety.

If it weren’t for the responsibility of managing the army and he couldn’t leave the station at will, Baba really wanted to go to Osaka in person to see how his beloved hometown is now.

“Master Racecourse!”

At this moment, another lieutenant of the racecourse rushed towards the racecourse with a terrified expression on his face.

“What’s wrong?” The racecourse stopped the feet that kept going in circles, “Did the person sent to Osaka to check the situation came back?”

“No, no!” The lieutenant replied in an urgent tone, concisely, “It’s Mr. Laozhong here! Mrs. Laozhong is now outside Yingkou!”

“What?!” The horse farm, whose pupils shrank slightly, took two steps back in shock by the words the lieutenant said just now.

Then, the horse farm’s body made a movement that was no different from a conditioned reflex – he spread his legs and ran to the camp entrance.

After the Yingkou of the army camp came into view of the horse farm, the one who appeared in front of the horse farm together with Yingkou was a middle-aged man standing outside the camp with his hands behind his back.

“Master Laozhong!” The master of the horse farm slipped and knelt in front of the middle-aged man with neat movements, and said hello to the middle-aged man.

To be able to be called “Old Middle-aged Lord” by the horse farm in a very respectful tone – the identity of this middle-aged man is naturally ready to be revealed.

“The racecourse, get up.” The middle-aged man…or rather, Matsudaira, leaned over and helped the racecourse up.

Matsudaira Dingxin’s current appearance is a little embarrassed.

To be precise—it was Matsudaira Dingxin and the rest of the people around him, all looking a little embarrassed.

On the left of Matsudaira Dingxin, is the little surname Tachibana~www.mtlnovel.com~ Matsudaira Dingxin, who is almost inseparable from him.

Behind the three of them stood five samurai dressed as guards.

There was a lot of dirt on everyone’s clothes.

Everyone’s brows and eyes are full of tiredness and panic – except for Matsudaira.

Although there was a little tiredness between Matsudaira’s brows and eyes, there was no hint of panic.

His expression was calm, calm, and calm, as if even if the mountain in front of him collapsed, it would be difficult for the expression on his face to change in the slightest.
