I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Page 896

"I can play the shamisen, so I was sent to disguise myself as an entertainer named Hatsumitsu to collect information in Osaka."

"Compared to the kind of colleagues who need to disguise themselves as wandering girls, my task is much easier, at least I don't need to sleep with other men."

"As for why I want to save you, it's also very simple."

"Because I never planned to work for Toyotomi Nobuhide from the very beginning."

"The reason why I became an Iga ninja and worked for Toyotomi Nobuhide was purely forced."

"When I was forced to work for Nobuhide Toyotomi, I secretly swore that I would wreak havoc."

"The best thing is to bring down the entire Toyotomi Group internally. Although this kind of thing is unlikely, I am working hard in this direction."

"And it's not the first time I've sabotaged secretly while doing a mission."

"I'm pretty familiar with things like secretly adding to the Toyotomi Group's troubles."

Chuguang succinctly answered Yishihua's three consecutive questions just now.

Facing Chuguang's response just now, Yishihua made a response that was completely expected by Chuguang:

"Toyotomi Group, are you joking?"

"Everything I said is true." Chu Guang said, "Do you believe it or not. Is there anything else you want to ask? Answer your questions while I'm still in the mood. If you have anything else you want to ask, please do so as soon as possible. "

"Just now" although you tried your best to control it, Isshiki still had an uncontrollable look of worry on her face, "Is it true that my family members are still safe and sound?"

"Really." Chu Guang nodded, "The person responsible for arresting and interrogating your family is that Lou Luo."

"Although I don't like this monstrous monk with a gloomy temperament, I still appreciate the advantage of him sticking to his principles all the time."

"Lou Luo is a very principled person. It is one of his principles not to indiscriminately kill people who don't work for the Edo shogunate."

"As long as your family members don't try to kill themselves, they will be safe now and for a while."

Having said that, Chu Guang suddenly changed the subject.

"Okay, I've also answered a lot of your questions. It's almost your turn to answer my questions."

"If you know where Ogata Isai is currently living, please tell me where he lives. If you know where Ogata Isai often goes, that's fine too."

"" Yishihua didn't answer.

Instead, as in the beginning, he glanced at Chuguang with vigilant eyes.

"Hey, hey." Chu Guang frowned, "I told you so many things just now, don't you still trust me?"

"I am not an enemy."

Chuguang said it word by word.

"If I were an enemy, I would have reunited you and your family members in the cell long ago, instead of taking so much effort to bring you here for protection."

"I don't want to see too many innocent people being killed by that lunatic Toyotomi Nobuhide, so I do my best to protect you and try to protect Ogata Yidaosai who has been targeted."

"No matter how strong that Ogata Yidao Zhai is, in the face of Toyotomi Nobuhide's targeted attack, even if he doesn't die, he will definitely be tortured unspeakably."

"If you want to see Ogata Yidaosai lying dead on the street, just keep silent."

Chuguang's words successfully shook Yishihua's expression.

She lowered her head and looked at the tatami between her and Chuguang.

"I don't know where Master Yidaosai lives in Osaka, and I don't know the whereabouts of Master Yidaosai."

After waiting for a while, Chuguang heard Yisehua say this.

Chuguang stared at Yishihua's face for a long time: "It seems that you are not lying. Oh, this is troublesome."

Chu Guang sighed heavily, and then took out a western pocket watch from his pocket.

After looking at the time on the watch, she muttered, "There's not much time left, I should go."

After finishing speaking, Chuguang stuffed the pocket watch back into his pocket, then picked up the strip of cloth that had just been removed to seal Isshika's mouth, and quickly tied it towards Isshika's mouth.

Chuguang's hands were extremely fast.

Just as Yishihua's consciousness came to her senses, Chuguang had tied her mouth tightly again.

"My free time is running out, I should go."

Chuguang said seriously to Yishihua whose mouth was sealed again.

"My colleagues are still looking for you everywhere, so I can't let you go free now. For a while, you can live here temporarily."

"The old woman who lives in this house is my friend and she is absolutely reliable. I will let her take good care of you."

"If you need anything, just mention it to your mother-in-law."

"When I can set you free, I will let you go."

"Although I don't think you are the kind of person who would act rashly to save your family, but in order to avoid accidents, you have to be tied up like this until you are released. Please forgive me."

"I will do everything in my power to make your family comfortable and keep your family safe."

"That's it, I'll see you later when I have time."

Isshiki struggled hard, and let out a cry of "muuuuuu".

Chuguang ignored him and walked out of the room.

As soon as she left the room, she saw her mother-in-law walking towards her.

"Is it over?" asked the mother-in-law.

"Yeah." Chuguang smiled wryly, "Grandmother, I will trouble you to take care of her from now on."

"Hehehe, it's just a trivial matter."

"Grandma, is there any tea? I want to drink a cup of hot tea before leaving."

"Yes, I'll bring it. You can sit in the hall for a while."

"I'll just stand here, leave after drinking, and stay soon."

"Okay, then you wait here for a while."

The mother-in-law took small steps and quickly walked towards the kitchen at the back of the house.

As soon as her mother-in-law left, Chuguang heard the knocking of the door not far away.

Following the sound, he saw that the door was opened with a small gap that was only big enough for one person to pass through, and then a strong man slipped into the room along the small gap.

"Miss Chuguang."

"It's Shibata."

The person who entered the door was Shibata, Chuguang's guard.

"Miss Chuguang, how are you?" Shibata quickly walked up to Chuguang, "Does that Isshiki know anything?"

Chu Guang shook his head: "She doesn't know anything."

"That's it." Shibata showed regret, "During the big test, I saw her talking and laughing with Ogata Isai, and she seemed to have a good relationship with Ogata Isai. I thought she must know a lot about Ogata. What about Yidao Zhai's information?"

"Now we can only try our luck and see if we can find the residence of Ogata Yidaosai based on the known clues." Chu Guang said, "If you don't find Ogata Yidousai until the end, then you can only invite him Good luck."

"The workload is really desperate." Shibata said with a wry smile.

"I don't want to see any innocent person being killed by that lunatic Toyotomi Nobuhide." Chu Guang said every word, "No matter how heavy the workload is, we have to do it."

Shibata scratched his hair, and the wry smile on his face turned into a smile: "Then I can only risk my life to accompany the gentleman, who told me that I have already sworn to bring down the Toyotomi Group internally with you."

Hearing Shibata's words, a charming smile appeared on Chuguang's face.

"By the way, Miss Chuguang." Shibata suddenly said seriously, "I have something important to tell you. The people above seem to be determined to make some big moves recently."

"Big move?" Shibata's words made the smile on Chuguang's face disappear, and changed back to a serious expression.

"Specifically, I don't know too much." Shibata sighed lightly, "Neither you nor I are high-level personnel, and we are not qualified to know many things."

"I just heard some rumors. Toyotomi Nobuhide seems to be going to make some big moves next to prepare for the end of the war and the revival of Toyotomi."

Chuguang's expression changed.

"War of Falling Curtains" Chu Guang's face changed, "That Toyotomi Nobuhide is really crazy, does he really think he has the strength to fall the curtains?"

"Miss Chuguang." Shibata said in a deep voice, "I don't think it's really not unimaginable for Toyotomi Nobuhide to launch a war to end the curtain now."

"I hate Toyotomi Hideyoshi very much, but even I, who hate him so much, have to admit that he is a terrific hero."

"He made one strange person after another willingly work for him."

"Miss Chuguang, you should also know how powerful Toyotomi Nobuhide's ability to gather people's hearts is?"

Facing Shibata's question, Chuguang pursed his lips tightly and remained silent.

At this time, Shibata continued:

"Toyotomi Nobuhide has a lot of talents under his command, and has accumulated huge wealth through smuggling trade."

"The Edo shogunate is now rotten. A while ago, the 200-strong army of the shogunate was defeated by Ogata Itsai. It is no longer the Edo shogunate that made the princes of the world dare not compete with it [-] years ago."

"After several years of dormancy, preparation, and control over that strange art, I think Toyotomi Nobuhide may really have the ability to overthrow the Edo Shogunate now."

"All in all, both of us should be more careful in the future, pay attention to collecting information, and investigate to see what the big move Toyotomi Nobuhide is going to do next."

"Tsk." The corner of Chuguang's mouth twitched, "It's really crazy to revive Toyotomi after the Fallen War."

2 days later

Osaka, in the hotel where Huluya and his team lived

"Ogata-kun."

Genichi, who was drinking "tons and tons" with a bottle of wine in his hand, asked Ogata who was standing at the door of the room in a tone that was somewhat vague due to drinking.

"What is the surprise you said you gave me?"

The room that Calabashya and his team used as a temporary base is now unprecedentedly deserted. There are only 4 people in the room, including Genichi, Rin, Makimura, and Shimada.

Lin is now sitting next to Yuan Yi, blowing the hot tea that is constantly steaming in her hand.

And Mucun sat in the corner of the room, flipping through the Analects of Confucius in his hand boredly.Shimada sat next to Makimura, sharpening his knife with a small whetstone.

Ogata and Atachi, who opened the door of the room by shouting "excuse me" just now, stood at the door with weird smiles on their faces, and did not come in for a long time.

Gen-sama, I have brought you a surprise. These are the exact words that Ogata told Genichi after greeting Lin and the others in the room just now.

This is also the reason why Genichi asked Ogata "what is the surprise".

When Genichi asked him what the surprise was, the smile on Ogata's face became even weirder.

Ogata, with a strange smile on his face, took a step back, and then waved to his side.

Under Ogata's beckoning, a bald head slowly came out from the side behind the door that Yuanichi and others could not see, and stood where Ogata was standing just now.

Looking at the sudden appearance of the bald head, Yuan Yi's expression froze for a moment, and the hand that poured the wine into his mouth also paused.

"Master Gen." Ogata said with a smile, "This is a surprise."

Bang!

Before Ogata finished speaking, a loud bang interrupted his words.

It was the sound of Yuan Yi slamming on the tatami.

Immediately following the explosion was the piercing sound of metal crashing.

clang!

Yuan Yi, who suddenly burst into flames, while rushing towards the bald head, quickly pulled out the knife Yangshen from his waist and slashed at the shiny bald head.

And the bald head reacted extremely quickly.

When Yuan Yi's Yang God was only a few inches away from the top of his head, the bald head quickly raised his left hand.

The Yangshen and the bald head's left arm, to be precise, collided heavily with the iron chain wrapped around the bald head's left arm, sparking a little spark.

Ogata, who was originally standing behind the bald head, shrank his pupils when Yuan Yi suddenly burst into flames, and then quickly jumped to the distance with his wife in his arms, widening the distance from Yuan Yi and the bald head.

"Oh." Yuan Yi grinned, "The reaction of this iron chain is really orange."

As if it had been agreed in advance, Yuan Yi and the bald head or Fu Mo grinned widely at the same time.

"This slash is indeed Genichi."

"How on earth did you two recognize people?" A-Machi, who was still in Ogata's arms, twitched the corners of his mouth and complained.
