I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Page 846

After going deep into this alley, not only is the front completely dark, but the back is also shrouded in darkness, and only a little light at the entrance can be vaguely seen.

Hasegawa, who was walking in the front, walked forward little by little, holding a lantern with the three Chinese characters "Huobaikai" painted on it.

"Cheer up." Hasegawa warned the four subordinates behind him, "Not only the front and the back must be vigilant, but even the top of the head must be vigilant..."

call!

At this time, Hasegawa heard the sound of something heavy falling down from behind him.

not good!

Startled in his heart, Hasegawa whose pupils shrank suddenly looked back.

I saw the man in the bamboo hat who had just disappeared appeared behind him. To be precise, it was the man in the bamboo hat who had been lying in ambush on the nearby roof just now. Yu just jumped off the roof and appeared behind Hasegawa.

As soon as his feet landed on the ground, the bamboo hat man waved his hands and slashed at the necks of the two closest to him with two hand knives.

After knocking out these two people, he rushed towards the other two people without stopping, and knocked out the other two people at the same time.

Therefore, the speed of the people was too fast, and the four subordinates of Hasegawa may not have seen who stunned them.

Hasegawa didn't rush forward.

Instead, he quickly put his hand into his bosom, and took out a short tube that could shoot out fireworks as long as he pulled the string.

However, before he had time to point the short tube at the sky, the man in the bamboo hat jumped in front of him, pressed Hasegawa's mouth with his left hand, and grabbed Hasegawa's arm holding the fireworks with his right hand, and twisted it hard. Behind Hasegawa.

Hasegawa who was in pain couldn't help but loosen his right hand, and the fireworks fell to the ground.

Seeing that the plan to use fireworks to convey orders to the rest of his subordinates failed, Hasegawa's eyes flashed a ruthless look.

Just when he was trying to deal with the man in the bamboo hat with his own jujitsu, he saw the man in the bamboo hat put his head close to his ear.

Then, a very familiar male voice came to Hasegawa's ears:

"Mr. Hasegawa, it's me."

"Huh?" Hasegawa's eyes widened suddenly, and the strength that was struggling to resist the man in the bamboo hat dissipated instantly.

"Mr. Hasegawa...why can I see you no matter where I go..." The person in the bamboo hat...or Ogata smiled wryly and pulled off the mask on his face with his free left hand.

Chapter 621 Departure!Osaka! 【5400】

The fate between himself and Hasegawa Heizo is really wonderful. This is the first thought that popped into Ogata's mind when he saw the chief of Huofu Thief Kai in the casino just now.

Counting last summer and this time, Ogata has only been to Kyoto twice.

As a result, the coincidence of encountering Hasegawa these two times made Ogata wonder if there is any magic power in the land of Kyoto.

After confessing his identity to Hasegawa in a low voice, Obiri let go of Hasegawa's right arm, which he had been holding on to just now.

After his right arm was released, Hasegawa kneaded his right shoulder while taking a few steps back to increase the distance between himself and Ogata.

"Ogata Yidaosai is really yours. No wonder you always thought the saber on the waist of this guy wearing a bamboo hat looked familiar. Why are you in Kyoto? And why are you in that casino just now? Those people in the casino were all attracted by you." Did you kill it?"

Perhaps because of the shock, Hasegawa couldn't speak smoothly.

"The reason why I was in Kyoto was purely by accident. I just came to find an old friend of mine who lives in Kyoto. As for why I was in the casino just now, it's a long story."

"This is not a good time and a good place to talk."

"In short, Mr. Hasegawa, can you temporarily withdraw the pursuit of me and my companion?"

"You didn't even tell me the ins and outs of why you were in that casino, and you asked me to withdraw my pursuit of you, which made it very difficult for me." Hasegawa said in a deep voice.

"I also want to clear up your misunderstanding about us as soon as possible, but now is not a good time to talk. After all, the rest of your subordinates may come here at any time."

Ogata put the mask back on his face.

"All in all, you should temporarily withdraw your pursuit of me and my companion."

"After five o'clock tonight, come to this alley again, and I will meet you here and explain everything to you."

Hasegawa stared deeply at Ogata's face for a while, then nodded: "I know. I will come here again at five o'clock tonight, so don't miss your appointment."

"Don't worry." Ogata changed into a joking tone, "I am very eager to clear up your misunderstanding about me and my companion. After all, I don't want my companion to be destroyed by being targeted by the government. A peaceful life."

After finishing speaking, Ogata leaped onto a nearby building, and disappeared into the eastern night in a blink of an eye.

After Hasegawa watched Ogata leave, he quickly walked to the side of the four subordinates who had been knocked out by Ogata just now, and shook them awake.

After Yoyo woke up, they hurriedly asked Hasegawa what happened just now.

And Hasegawa said:

"You were knocked out by that bamboo hat man! I was almost knocked out by him too! He ran away after seeing that he couldn't take me down quickly! He is fleeing west now! Go and call everyone to search west immediately!"

"Also, go and send an order to the person in charge of chasing that bald head to stop the pursuit,"

"Huh? Why?" a subordinate asked.

"Don't ask so many questions." Hasegawa said, "I have my own arrangements."

Ah, my back hurts

At this time, Feng Mo, who was lurking in a certain alley, rubbed his waist that hadn't hurt for a long time.

Feeling the constant bursts of pain coming from the lower back, a helpless wry smile appeared on Feng Mo's face.

These bursts of pain told Feng Mo a cruel fact one after another: he was already an old man whose waist could not stand the toss.

Why do other elderly people still have very thick hair and good health at my age, but I have lost hair and poor health?

Feng Mo quietly complained about the injustice of the heavens in his heart, while cautiously peeping out of the alley.

Outside the alley, a large number of official servants reformed by fire thieves are slowly approaching here.

"Sure enough, it's useless when you're old," Feng Mo murmured softly, "It's only so little chasing soldiers, but it's been too long to get rid of them."

After sighing heavily, Feng Mo put his right hand on his lower back, stood up, and prepared to continue to escape the pursuit of these officials.

But at this moment, Feng Mo suddenly heard a very noisy voice from outside the alley.

Looking out of the alley, I saw that the officials who were approaching the alley where Feng Mo was located suddenly turned back for some reason.

"What's wrong?" Feng Mo looked puzzled at the officials who left suddenly.

Although I don't know what happened, this is undoubtedly the best time to get out of trouble.

Feng Mo continued to press his waist with his right hand, quickly left the alley, and ran away from the official post.

Outside the Wisteria House, A-Machi and A-Zhu were startled when they saw a large number of official servants reformed by Huo Fu thieves rushing into the casino just now.

Immediately afterwards, the two of them saw two figures suspected to be Ogata and Fumo coming out of the second floor window of the wisteria house, and then a large number of officials followed closely behind them.

Azuki, who was young and still not very clear about the strength of Ogata and Fuma, was overwhelmed by this sudden change.

But Ogata and Hasegawa's A-machi, who knew that such a small number of officials could do nothing, were much calmer.

When Azuki asked Acho what to do now, Acho only said calmly: We can't help much now, just wait here quietly for them to come back, they will probably come back soon.

After A-cho's judgment was very accurate and he reached an agreement with Hasegawa, Ojai immediately returned to the wisteria house and found A-cho and Azuki who had been waiting outside the wisteria house.

After taking the two of them back to Feng Mo's home, they saw Feng Mo who should have just returned home.

After the four reunited, Oo conveniently told everyone a series of things including the agreement he had just reached with Hasegawa.

"No wonder those officials who had been following me so closely all of a sudden withdrew." Feng Mo stroked his shiny bald head.

"Itdaosai-sama, are you still friends with the well-known Hasegawa Heizo?"

The fact that the most wanted criminal of the shogunate is friends with Hasegawa, who is feared by countless criminals as "Onihira", is beyond the limit of Azhu's imagination.

As the time spent with Ogata got longer and longer, Azhu found that this man was quite incredible. Not only was his swordsmanship unmatched, but his connections were also very good.

At this time, Azuki couldn't help casting a look like a fan girl at Ogata.

"Friend?" Ogata scratched his hair, "The relationship between me and Mr. Hasegawa is very complicated. I don't know if I can use the word simple friend to describe my relationship with Mr. Hasegawa. It can be regarded as a special relationship." Friends."

"Ayi, are you really going back to that alley to meet Hasegawa Heizo later?" A-cho looked at Ogata with a bit of worry.

"Of course, after all, he has to clear up his misunderstanding of us." Ogata smiled and patted A-Machi's head, "After all, it would be troublesome if he were to issue a warrant for Mr. Feng's arrest."

"Don't worry. Nothing unexpected will happen."

"After all, Mr. Hasegawa is not a fool."

The smile on Ogata's face was now a little more meaningful.

"Mr. Hasegawa must now know that even if he puts the fire on the thieves and changes his full combat power, he can't do anything to me."

After five o'clock in the evening, Ogata returned to the alley as agreed.

Before entering the alley, Ogata kept an eye out to see if there were any ambushes lurking around.

After confirming that there was no one else around, he strode into the alley.

As soon as he entered the alley, Ooyo immediately saw Hasegawa who seemed to be waiting here in advance.

There was no one else around Hasegawa, just standing alone in the alley.

Looking at Hasegawa who was waiting for him alone, the corners of Ogata's mouth subconsciously raised slightly.

Although he had some unpleasant experiences with him, he still has a good impression of this "Guiping" who is willing to stand up for the people, is deeply loved by the people, and he has shared the joys and sorrows with him.

Looking at him reunited after a long absence, a smile appeared on Ogata's face involuntarily.

"I've kept you waiting, Mr. Hasegawa." Ogata said while pulling off the scarf on his face.

"It didn't take long." Hasegawa said, "I just arrived."

After finishing speaking, Hasegawa looked at Ogata's face with the veil pulled down with eyes full of complex emotions.

"Ogata Iktosai, we are so destined that it is unbelievable. I thought that since I left Edo last year, I would never have the chance to meet you again."

"I didn't expect to meet again after only being separated for a few months."

"When I saw you, Mr. Hasegawa, leading a large group of people rushing up the stairs in the casino, I was so startled that my heart stopped beating." Ogata said in a joking tone.

After Hasegawa chuckled a few times, he looked up at Ogata in front of him again, his expression gradually becoming complicated.

"I haven't seen you for a few months, and you have done another feat that is unprecedented, and there should be no one to come in the future. You really deserve it. The [-] coalition troops of the Shogunate and the Northeast vassals were all defeated by you."

Hearing Hasegawa's words, Ogata was taken aback, and the faint smile on his face also froze.

"Obviously when I first met you, you were not such a great swordsman." Hasegawa continued at this time, "But in less than a year, you have grown to this point. Your talent is really impressive. People can't even be jealous of your courage."

"Mr. Hasegawa, you really know what I did in Ezo too." The smile on Ogata's face turned into a bitter smile.

"I'm the chief of Huofu Thief Reform, and I'm not a low-level official. Isn't it strange that I don't know about this?"

Speaking of this, Hasegawa sighed, and then said seriously:

"Okay, let's stop here for the greetings. Let's talk about business. Why were you in the wisteria room just now?"

"There's no particular reason." Ogata said slowly, "It's just to kill the Buddha family."

Ogata explained why he was in the wisteria house and his experience in the wisteria house in as simple a sentence as possible

Afterwards, Ogata asked Hasegawa back:

"Mr. Hasegawa, what about you? Why are you in Kyoto? Are you here in Kyoto again to catch thieves?"

"As the chief officer of Huofu Thief Kai, what other reasons can I come here for besides catching thieves?" Hasegawa said in a self-deprecating tone, "I don't know if you know that I was killed by you in the casino just now." Among those killed was a guy named Shirakawa Hideichiro."

"He is the leader of a gang of bandits called Bloodmist, and he is the target of my trip."

"I led people to the capital just to pursue him."

"Oh, will I miss you by killing him?" Ogata raised his hand and touched the back of his neck.

"That's not true." Hasegawa said, "It's best to catch him. It doesn't matter if he is executed directly. Even if he was caught, he was just killed in another place."

"That Bai Chuan is not a mediocre person. I was already mentally prepared to kill or injure several subordinates. Now that you help me kill him, you can save me a lot of trouble."

"That's good." Ogata nodded lightly, "In short, Mr. Hasegawa, this is the reason why my companion and I were in that casino."

"So, since I helped you in a disguised form, can it be regarded as not having seen me and my companion?"

Hasegawa did not answer Ogata immediately.

Instead, after looking deeply at Ogata for a while, he finally nodded slowly:

"I see. This time, let's treat it as if I haven't seen you and your companion. It's also considered as repaying the favor owed to you."
