I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Mamiya Yukimura explained:

"After Asai and I visited the business partner you asked us to visit for you, on the way back, we ran into Yogoro who happened to be in a hurry to report an important matter to the lord. So we simply took the He's back together."

Yukimura nodded his head.

"Miss Lin."

Yukimura said in a serious tone.

"I have already found out something about the matter you entrusted me to help investigate."

As soon as the words were finished, the expressions of Ogata, A-Machi, Rin, and everyone in the room except Fuma and Azuki changed slightly.

Both Ogata and Atachi knew what Lin had commissioned Yukimura to investigate.

On the night when Ogata and Mucun reunited, Mucun happened to follow Lin's order and came to entrust Yukimura, who has a huge power in Osaka, to help investigate and collect information related to the "Kansai Disappearance Incident".

When everyone's expressions changed slightly, Yukimura looked at the slightly crowded room because there were many people sitting there.

"Miss Lin, is it convenient for you to listen to me now?"

"Master Kanshi, Miss Azhu." After Lin pondered for a moment, she turned her head to look at Fumo and Azhu who were sitting in front of her, "Sorry, can you two stay away for a while?"

"Of course." Feng Mo said without hesitation, "Then I'll take a walk outside with Azhu. Let's go, Azhu."

What happened when she was young made Azhu also the kind of person who was forced to mature precociously. She had already mastered the skill of "reading the air". go.

As soon as the two of them left, Asai whispered to Mucun next to him, "Who was that little girl just now?"

"This is a long story." Mucun explained, "I will explain it to you slowly later."

When Mucun and Asai were chatting there, Lin made a "please" gesture to the place where Azhu was sitting just now.

"Yaogoro, there are no outsiders here now, so you can speak freely. Katsurokuro, go get a pot of tea."

"No, there's no need for tea." Yukimura said while sitting in front of Lin respectfully, "I still have a lot of things to do in the future, I will leave after I finish speaking, and I won't stay long."

"Miss Lin, after you entrusted me to help investigate the recent frequent disappearances in Kansai, I immediately dispatched a large number of people to investigate this matter."

"After my subordinate's investigation, Koya Seiji of Koyasan is extremely suspicious."

"Takano-san" Lin muttered, frowning slowly.

The one who frowned at the same time was Ogata.

Koyasan is the home of the Shingon sect of Buddhism, and a large number of monks from Koyasan spontaneously traveled to various places to spread the belief of Shingon sect.

These people who spread the Shingon faith all over the world are called "Takano-san".

Therefore, Takano-san can be understood as a missionary.

Gao Yesheng, who preaches everywhere for his faith, should theoretically be a group of people with quite firm beliefs, but in reality, this is not the case.

"Wandering around and spreading the faith" is not an easy task.

So gradually, more and more Gao Yesheng became depraved because they couldn't bear the hunger and cold when they were traveling around.

More and more Gao Yesheng began to engage in obscene and deceptive business, taking advantage of people and intimidating good people.

Because of the many evils that Takano-san has done, up to now, Takano-san has become a despised existence, and there is even such a proverb: Don't let Takano-san stay overnight, it is shameful to have an affair with a woman.

"According to my subordinate's investigation, the number of Takano-san haunting Kansai has increased a lot recently." Yogoro continued unhurriedly, "In some villages where people disappeared, it has been reported that the village Takano-san has been around here."

"Although there is no more evidence to prove that the disappearance in Kansai is the work of Takano-san, according to the information collected so far, Takano-san is indeed extremely suspicious."

"If this series of incidents were all done by Takano Santo, then everything would be easy to explain."

"After all, human trafficking is indeed a disgusting business that Gao Yesheng often does."

Yukimura finished his latest report of the information he collected in a succinct manner.

After listening to Yukimura's report, Lin pursed her lips, and then asked:

"Yaogoro, is there anything else that needs to be reported?"

"No more." Yukimura shook his head.

"Yao Goro, thank you for your hard work." Lin said solemnly, "Thank you for making a special trip to report to me today."

"You just said that you have important things to deal with later, so you can't stay for long, right?"

"Then you step back first, and then go about your own affairs. I will trouble you to continue investigating this matter for me later."

"If you collect any important information, you must report to me as soon as possible like today."

"Yes." Yogoro saluted Lin respectfully again, then walked away from Lin's body quickly.

"Takaya-san?" Genichi murmured as soon as Yogoro left, "Koya-san is really getting more and more suspicious."

"All the clues known so far indicate that Koyasan is the most suspicious place at present." Mamiya added.

"It's really the right time to come to Osaka." Lin said in a deep voice, "The situation is very clear now."

"Koyasan is undoubtedly the most suspicious place. It must be investigated with focus."

After saying this in a noncommittal tone, Lin slowly raised two fingers.

"We currently have so many people gathered in Osaka, it's just a waste of manpower, there is no need to keep so many people in Osaka."

"So I have a plan now that we split into 2 waves."

"One group of people continued to stay in Osaka to collect information, while the other group went to Koyasan first, using Koya Town as a base to investigate Koyasan."

"How do you feel?"

Although Lin said "what do you think", she only looked at Ogata.

After thinking for a moment, Ogata nodded, "I have no objection."

There is indeed nothing wrong with Lin's plan.

There is really no need for so many people to stay in Osaka. Sending some people to Koyasan to conduct investigations can greatly improve efficiency and avoid waste of manpower.

After Ogata took the lead in expressing his opinion, others also expressed their opinions one after another.

Everyone agreed with Lin's plan of "dividing the troops into two groups".

Seeing that no one expressed any objection to Lin's plan, Mamiya asked:

"Then who should be sent to Koyasan to investigate?"

As soon as Jiangong finished speaking, someone immediately said:

"Count me in the team going to Mount Koya."

The speaker is Yuan Yi.

"Uncle, it's really rare for you to take the initiative to do the work." Lin's eyes flashed a few surprises.

"Don't talk about me like a rice worm who can only eat but can't work." Genichi said angrily, "If you want to investigate Mount Koya, it would be most appropriate to send me there. There is an acquaintance of mine in Koya Town .”

"Since Uncle, you are so active, then I will do as you like. Who else wants to go to Koyasan first?"

After a brief discussion, the personnel who stayed in Osaka and the personnel who went to Koyasan to investigate were quickly settled.

Yulin, Mamiya, Asai, and Shimada continued to stay in Osaka.

Ogata, Genichi, Atachi, and Makimura went to Koyasan first.

Ogata originally planned to go to Koyasan for investigation after Dashitian and Dazizai were repaired, so when deciding which people would be responsible for going to Koyasan just now, Ogata expressed his position immediately after Genichi, saying that he wanted to go to Koyasan. Go to Koyasan.

After confirming the composition of the two teams, Yuan Yi asked:

"When are we going to Koyasan?"

"Of course, the sooner the better." Mu Cun said.

"So what about tomorrow?" Ogata suggested.

"Tomorrow?" Yuan Yi raised his eyebrows, "Ogata-kun, isn't your sword still being repaired? Do you want to wear the two cheap ones on your waist to Mount Koya?"

As soon as Yuan read countless knives, he saw at a glance that the knives that Ogata was hanging around his waist were cheap ones that could be bought casually, and the blade could be curled after cutting a few bones.

"It's impossible for me to go to Koyasan with these two rags." Ogata smiled, "The time I agreed with Master Yuyi to pick up the knife is 7 days later."

"It's a coincidence that today is the time I agreed with Master Yuyi to pick up the knife."

"I'm going to get the knife this evening. So I can start tomorrow."

"That's it, I can leave anytime." Yuan Yi shrugged.

"Me too." Mucun agreed.

"In that case, let's set off tomorrow." Ogata said solemnly, "I'll pick up the knife tonight, and leave for Mount Koya tomorrow morning."

Right now

Osaka, in a forest in the suburbs

Kara, Kara

A carriage rumbled forward in this mountain forest where there were not even a few birds in the air.

The sound of the wheels turning and the continuous music coming from the carriage became one of the only sounds in this silent mountain forest.

In the carriage compartment, Toyotomi Nobuhide wearing a white cloak half closed his eyes, holding the violin on his left shoulder with an elegant posture.

In the not-so-spacious carriage, there were only two people, Toyotomi and a blond, blue-eyed Westerner sitting opposite Toyotomi.

When Toyotomi played the beautiful music with the violin, the Westerner closed his eyes and shook his head slightly, as if he was listening carefully and enjoying the music, showing an intoxicated expression from time to time.

Soon, the song is over.

When Toyotomi put down the bow in his hand, the Westerner clapped vigorously.

"Great, Master Toyotomi, your piano skills are really getting better and better!" the Westerner said in English.

"Smith, thank you for the compliment." Toyotomi responded with a smile in fluent English, "But my piano skills are still far behind, and I need to practice more."

Toyotomi showed a regretful expression.

When Toyotomi put down the violin on his shoulder, the carriage under him just stopped.

"Lord Toyotomi."

The coachman in charge of driving jumped out of the car, then quickly ran to the door and opened it.

"We have arrived."

"Well, thank you." Toyotomi smiled gently while helping the coachman who opened the door for him, and walked out of the carriage slowly, "I told you to drive all the way here, you must be tired too."

"Don't dare to do it." The coachman, who was thanked by Toyotomi, had a distorted expression on his cheeks due to excitement, "This subordinate just did what was supposed to be done."

The carriage stopped in a dense forest.

After getting off the carriage, the coachman stayed to watch the carriage, while Toyotomi led Smith slowly towards the depths of the dense forest ahead.

In just a moment, a strong figure appeared in front of Toyotomi, and then walked towards Toyotomi quickly.

"Master Toyotomi!" The strong man knelt down and saluted.

"Gao Qing." Toyotomi stood with his hands behind his back, "How is the army?"

"It has been assembled and can be inspected at any time!"

"Very good." Toyotomi grinned, "Let's go, take me to see my Toyotomi warriors."

"Yes!"

Gao Qing led the way ahead and headed straight for the depths of the dense forest.

This seemingly endless forest at first glance is actually surprisingly small.

Soon, as if suddenly enlightened, a small open space not covered by dense trees gradually appeared in front of Toyotomi and others.

At this moment, the air in this small open space was filled with a strong murderous atmosphere.

An extremely neat phalanx of thousands of people stands on this open space.

Everyone in this phalanx, without exception, wears a sword and a wakizaru on their waists, and a brand new flintlock gun on their backs.

A red crescent moon is engraved on the body of each flintlock.

Even when Toyotomi appeared in front of their eyes, the phalanx remained motionless, and everyone stood up straight with solemn expressions.

In front of the phalanx, there is a boulder with a smooth top.

Under the guidance of Gao Qing, Toyotomi slowly climbed up the boulder.
