Chapter 455 Ogata: I Was Misunderstood as a Genius Swordsman, What Should I Do? 【7400 Words】
The term "Yueqing Yunke" appeared in yesterday's chapter, so a famous book friend asked what "Yueqing Yunke" meant. Here is a brief introduction to everyone.
"Yueqing Yunke" is a Japanese idiom, which refers to those nobles and nobles, and also refers to the master.

Before Ogata rushed into the bandits, Jincheng was actually in the mood of watching a joke.
He is also a swordsman, so he naturally knows how difficult it is to fight against many.
In the face of these 12 bandits, even if they are all mediocre, but the number is there, if they don't use some tactics and strategies, even if they are all wiped out, there will definitely be some casualties.
So when he heard Ogata talk about his plan of "drawing his sword and going directly to Mang", Jincheng's only thought was that this guy is an idiot.
Later, when he saw that Ogata was really rushing up alone, Jincheng's evaluation of Ogata became "a reckless fool who is brave and foolish".
How did this idiot marry such a beautiful wife?
Under the influence of this mood of sitting and watching jokes, Jincheng developed a somewhat gloating attitude, and was already mentally prepared to see the scene of the brave and foolish Ogata being hacked to death with knives.
However...it was indeed a scene of being hacked to death by random knives.
It's just that the bandits were hacked to death with knives.
No...it might be a bit inaccurate to use "randao".
Ogata's precise swing of the knife has a strong sense of beauty. The knife in his hand can always cut across the shortest route, accurately hitting the bandits' vitals, one bandit at a time.
The picture in front of him was too different from the picture imagined in his mind, which made Jin Cheng's expression the most exaggerated, and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
Ogata, who rushed straight into the bandits, was like a tiger rushing into a flock of sheep.
How can a sheep fight back against a tiger?
After hand in hand with these bandits, Ogata has already discovered that the bodies of these people are not very healthy.
It was a little far away just now, so I didn't see it clearly.
Now after getting closer, Ogata realized that the bandits in front of him were not much better mentally than those villagers.
They all have sallow complexions, and some even have sunken cheeks.
It looked like he hadn't had a serious meal in a long time.
And their movements were indeed very similar to those of people who haven't had a good meal for a long time - their steps are loose and weak.
Their swordsmanship level was already not very good, coupled with such a weak body, it made their already rather weak fighting power even weaker.
The weapon used in "Bandit 3" is a large sword.
Odachi is also considered a relatively rare weapon. There are very few samurai who can specialize in Odachi.
Of all the samurai Ogata had met before, the only one who used the Odachi as his usual weapon was Mucun.
The astonishing length of the Odachi makes it powerful to wield regardless of proficiency.
But if you are not proficient in Odachi,
It can only fool those who don't understand swordsmanship.
For Ogata, the "Bandit 3" in front of him was very bad at using the Odachi, and it was completely incomparable with Mucun.
It would be better to say that the "Bandit 3" with a thin body is not suitable for using a weapon like the Odachi, which is a great test of arm strength due to its amazing length.
The "Bandit 3" lacking in strength couldn't even lift the Odachi quickly and smoothly.
A cold light flashed.
Before "Bandit 3" could fully lift the Otachi in his hand, the Da Shitian in Ogata's hand turned into a cold light, and slit "Bandit 3"'s throat horizontally.
【Ding! Use Sakakibara Ichidou Ryuo to kill the enemy]
[Gain 60 personal experience points and 60 experience points for ninjutsu "Shiranui Ninjutsu"]
[Current personal level: LV35 (20/5400)]
[Sakakibara Ichikatsu level: 12 ranks (3805/9000)]
【Ding! When the experience value is full, the personal level will be upgraded by 1, and the skill point will be obtained by 1 point]
[Current remaining skill points: 4 points]
From the experience points given by the system, it can also be seen that the strength of "Bandit 3" is really good - after killing him, both the personal level and Sakakibara's sword style will only get 60 experience points each.
When you defeat the "Baosheng Ten Swords" in Baosheng Dojo, you can get about 50 experience points.
However, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. After killing "Bandit 3", Ogata's personal level, which had already reached the critical point of upgrading, was finally upgraded to level 35, gaining 1 skill point.
Counting the 1 skill point saved after the battle with Shiranui, and the 2 points gained after the experience gained at the Hosho Sword Gym a few days ago to upgrade the Shiranui Ninjutsu level, Ogata now has a total of 4 skill points.
Should it be said that it is a bandit?
After Ogata knocked down the little boss-like guy with one move, and killed three of their companions, the remaining people lost their fighting spirit instantly.
About 10 seconds ago, when they saw Ogata rushing towards them alone, they were still complacent, thinking that there were 12 people on their side, and they didn't love this samurai who dared to rush over alone.
After only 10 seconds, the expressions of the eight bandits who were still alive changed 180 degrees. They looked at Ogata in horror, and then turned and fled regardless of anything.
Ogata was not surprised by the bandit's sudden escape.
To put it bluntly, bandits are a group of mobs who can only fight with the wind, and they are not elites in all battles.
If these bandits did not retreat, Ogata would feel strange instead.
This gang of vicious bandits must not let them go.
It would be a lot of trouble if they were allowed to go back to their stronghold and tell the rest of their comrades that the villagers of this village had invited samurai to help them.
Seeing the bandits fleeing, Xu Fang immediately chased after them with a knife.
How could these loose-footed bandits escape from Xu Fang, whose agility value was as high as 18 points?
Ogata only took one step and caught up with the nearest bandit.
Sakakibara One Sword Style Bird Thorn!
Da Shitian, who turned into a stream of light, pierced the bandit's heart from his back.
And Huosaka and the others finally caught up at this time.
Ogata's brave performance just now shocked Hosaka and others, but now there are still enemies to deal with, so they can only forcefully suppress the shock in their hearts.
In fact, it doesn't matter if Hosaka and the others don't rush up to help out—anyway, with Ogata's current speed, they can easily kill the fleeing bandits one by one.
Ogata is like a beast chasing its prey.
Ogata was running, leaping, and slashing.
The bandit ran, screamed, and died.
There was also a bloody bandit who gritted his teeth, knowing that he couldn't escape, stopped his steps, clenched the weapon in his hand, turned around, howled angrily, and attacked Ogata .
Although courage is commendable, courage cannot make up for the gap in strength.
Ogata charged straight at the bandit who mustered up his courage and was about to launch a life-threatening blow.
Maybe it was too nervous, or it could be simply lack of strength—the bandit made a mistake that many people make in battle: he didn't calculate the distance between the enemy and himself.
Ogata considers himself to be a person who has experienced many battles. According to Ogata's calculations, there are countless people who were defeated or died by his sword because of "not calculating the distance between the enemy and ourselves".
Either he didn't even realize that he stepped into the enemy's attack range, or he judged the timing of the enemy's entry into his attack range too early or too late, resulting in his attack being in vain.
This bandit belongs to the latter group - he swung his knife too early.
Before Ogata came into his attack range, he roared in panic and swung his knife at Ogata.
And because of the early swing of the knife, his knife only cut through the air an inch away from the tip of Ogata's nose.
Ogata brushed past him.
While passing by him, Ogata's Da Shitian also "passed by" him.
The moment his body and the knife brushed past the bandit, blood sprayed from the bandit's chest.
The bandit fell.
The system sound that prompts you to gain experience points will sound.
...
...
This is the only bandit who has the courage to confront Ogata.
The rest of the people were trying their best to escape, wishing they could use their hands.
In the end, these escaped bandits were caught up one by one and killed.
Of course, they were basically killed by the extremely fast Ogata.
Hosaka and the others finally arrived until the bandits started fleeing and only picked up 2 heads.
Huosaka and Jincheng each dealt with a fleeing bandit.
After Ogata beheaded the last bandit who didn't even dare to turn his head back, this brief encounter officially came to an end.
Of the 12 bandits, Ogata killed 9 and captured 1 alive. Kill 1 each of Huosaka and Jincheng.
Ogata took out his pocket paper, wiped off the blood and fat on the knife, and put the knife back into its sheath.
As soon as Da Shitian was put into the sheath, Hosaka and the others, who were all wide-eyed, walked quickly to Ogata.
Ogata's heroic demeanor of rushing into the enemy's formation at an extremely fast speed and defeating the 12 bandits with a single blow gave Husaka and the others a great shock.
Nowadays, martial arts are slack, and many samurai don't even know how to hold a sword.
This was the first time for Hosaka and the others to see with their own eyes a samurai who could fight 1 against 12.
Even Tsuchiya, who didn't talk much or express much, showed a shocked expression at this time.
"Mashima." Hosaka, who is usually very lively, had the most exaggerated expression, "I didn't expect you to be a swordsman..."
Mizuno, who was standing beside Hizaka, also showed an expression of shock that was no less exaggerated than that of his master.
"Mashima-kun." Kanejo, who just criticized Ogata's so-called plan as "nonsense", looked at Ogata in front of him with a look of astonishment, "Who are you?"
"Wonders who make their homes everywhere and have no fixed place to live." Ogata smiled and patted the saber on his left waist.
"Wonder?" The look of astonishment on Jin Cheng's face became more intense, "You have such sword skills, all the feudal states will rush to invite you to be a sword master, right? It's impossible to worry about food and drink."
"Could it be that you voluntarily continue to be a ronin for the purpose of practicing martial arts?"
When he said those words, Jin Cheng's eyes burst into light.
In this era, one of the ways out for warriors with superb martial arts...or the best way out is to become martial arts teachers in various vassal states.
Tsukahara Buden, Umizumi Nobutsuna, Miyamoto Musashi, Sasaki Kojiro...these famous great swordsmen in history have all served as swordsmanship teachers for daimyos.
In the Edo period, when class solidification was extremely serious and it was almost impossible to communicate between classes, if samurai wanted to raise their class by their own efforts, they had to hone their swordsmanship besides making great achievements.
Let the feudal lord or other feudal lords admire your sword skills, and then invite yourself to be their swordsmanship teacher.
Many samurai rely on their excellent swordsmanship to raise their ranks—it's a pity that there are very few people who can rely on their swordsmanship to raise their ranks.
As Jincheng said just now, based on Ogata's superb swordsmanship just now, it is certain that a bunch of feudal states are vying to invite Ogata to be their swordsmanship teacher, and it is impossible to worry about eating and drinking.
Obviously, he has the conditions to live a life without wandering, but he is still a rogue who roams the world——Kinjo, whose imagination is a bit barren, the only possibility that Ogata can think of is that Ogata is an ambitious and still A great swordsman who insists on practicing martial arts.
Naturally, it was impossible for Ogata to tell them the real reason why he was still a ronin.
Seeing that Jincheng handed out a step, Xu Fang followed the trend and went down the step.
"Yeah." Ogata nodded, "I'm still training as a warrior, and continue to hone my swordsmanship."
Hearing Ogata's words, Hosaka and the others shuddered.
To be able to possess such high-strength swordsmanship at such a young age must be a genius with talent and hard work.
A tall image was slowly outlined in the minds of Hosaka and the others.
At the same time, I also imagined the story behind Ogata-Ogata may have been a warrior of a certain domain in the past, and he was a famous talented swordsman in the domain.
He could have lived a life without worrying about food and clothing and being respected by countless people by relying on swordsmanship.
But Ogata is a person who is extremely passionate about swords.
In order to improve his swordsmanship, he gave up the fame and fortune that countless people dream of, and resolutely took up his sword and traveled all over the world to hone his swordsmanship.
What kind of spirit is this?
This is the real warrior!
Hosaka and others came up with the same idea at the same time - this is the real swordsman!
The way Hosaka and the others looked at Ogata unconsciously changed.
Originally, they all looked at Ogata with the eyes of their peers.
But now, they all looked at Ogata with respectful eyes, as if they were looking at some respected senior.
The color of respect in Jin Cheng's eyes is the strongest.
The only thing he is good at and interested in is swordsmanship.
Because of his love of swordsmanship, he gave up the job his father arranged for him to look after the homes of other banner warrior families, and traveled around the world with swords to hone his swordsmanship.
For Jincheng, Ogata is simply his role model!
Jin Cheng's fiery face now looks like a devout believer.
Hosaka is the most lively, and his thinking is also the most leaping.
He not only made up the story of Ogata, but also made up the story of Acho by the way.
Anyone who is not blind can see that Ah-ding cannot be a peasant girl, and her temperament is more like a child of a samurai family.
Why would a child of the samurai family marry a genius swordsman, and then willingly accompany him to live a miserable life of wandering around?
Hosaka came up with such a story - both Ogata and Atachi spoke the same Kansai accent, and it is very likely that they both came from the same feudal kingdom.
The two fell in love with each other. When Ogata decided to practice martial arts in order to hone his swordsmanship, Amachi followed Ogata and left the feudal kingdom without any complaints. Wander around together.
Under his own powerful imagination, Hosaka not only respects Ogata, but also respects A-Machi.
Ogata naturally noticed a change in the way Hosaka and the others looked at him.
Staring blankly at Hosaka and the others in front of him, Ogata couldn't help thinking to himself:
——Did they misunderstand something...?
"Master Samurai!"
At this time, the village chief and others also led the strong men in the village to rush to Ogata and others.
The village chief and the others also saw Ogata's battle just now.
The village chief and the others don't understand swordsmanship like Hosaka and the others, nor do they understand what it means to be 1 against 12 like Hosaka and the others.
All they knew was that Ogata was very strong, very strong, a very strong samurai.
Unlike Hosaka and the others who respected him deeply, the village head thought that Ogata was strong after they saw that they had picked up a treasure.
Successfully found a very powerful warrior.
This feeling picked up Bao's mood, and the eyes of the village chief and others looked at Ogata became hotter.
It's just that the fire in their eyes is not the same emotion as the fire in Hizaka's eyes.
"Village Chief, you came at a good time." Ogata said, "You ask the young and strong men in the village to bury the bodies of these bandits. Remember to bury them far away from the water source, and bury them deeper."
"Although it is winter and the corpses rot slowly, it is better to dispose of them as soon as possible. If it is delayed for too long, it may cause an outbreak of disease."
"Then—help us prepare an empty house."
Ogata pouted at the bandit leader who was knocked unconscious by Shiranuijutsu not far away.
"We need a secluded place to get some information out of him."
...
...
The village head quickly arranged a secluded empty house for Ogata and others.
After Ogata and the others dragged the little bandit leader who had been knocked unconscious into this room, they silently waited for him to wake up.
There was a faint musty smell in this empty room. Ogata hated this smell very much, so he sat outside the room holding a knife, breathing the cold and fresh air outside, while silently waiting for the little boss to wake up.
After Ogata single-handedly defeated the 12 bandits who came to blackmail them, he clearly felt that the atmosphere in the village had changed.
The original atmosphere of the village...for example, was like a tight "string".
Maybe it's because I feel safe after seeing Ogata's powerful strength, or because I feel that these warriors who are brave enough to fight the bandits are trustworthy, this tight "string" is now slightly Relaxed.
Ogata sat outside to breathe the fresh air, and A-Machi was naturally by his side.
Taking advantage of a little free time now, Ogata clicked on his personal system interface to check the experience points he had just gained.
[Current personal level: LV35 (580/5400)
Sakakibara One-Sword Level: 12 Dans (4155/9000)
No-self two swords level: 11 segments (3690/12000)
Shiranui Ninjutsu level: 6th stage (4000/4500)]
Although killing an opponent—especially an opponent who has strong hostility towards him, he will gain more experience points.
But because the bandits just now were all extremely powerful, the average level of experience given to Ogata by each of the bandits just now was less than 100 points in terms of individual level.
After checking his personal system interface, Ogata was thinking about whether to take out the "Einu Common Language Teaching Guide" to learn the Ainu language, and suddenly felt the light around him dim.
Turn around and look.
I saw a young warrior walking towards him with a tense expression.
This young samurai was none other than Mizuno, Hosaka's apprentice.
Mizuno quickly ran to Ogata, staring at Ogata.
He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.
But whenever he opened his mouth, he would immediately close it again, as if hesitating to speak.
Although he was timid, his eyes were fixed on Ogata, and his eyes were full of fire.
"What's the matter?" Ogata asked, "Speak up if you have something to say. There is no need to be nervous or afraid."
Mizuno's words are few, second only to Tsuchiya.
The only thing that Ogata knew about Mizuno was that he was Hosaka's apprentice, and he was a very reserved and shy person.
It is because of being cautious and shy of strangers that he talks so little.
Mizuno is now standing in front of Ogata, looking like he wants to say something but hesitates to say it, it should be caused by restraint and nervousness again.
After hearing this encouragement from Ogata, Mizuno seemed to be encouraged as well.
After taking a deep breath, Mizuno said to Mizuno word by word:
"You... your swordsmanship is amazing. I admire you so much."
After leaving these words quickly, Mizuno quickly left in front of Ogata, and returned to the room behind where the little bandit leader was imprisoned.
After hearing Mizuno's words just now, Ooja was stunned for a moment.
After watching Mizuno leave, Machi covered his mouth with a smile and said to Ogata:
"It's just a compliment about your swordsmanship. Why do you make it look like you're talking to someone you like?"
Ogata smiled and shrugged: "Maybe I was too shy, I was too embarrassed to talk to me in public just now."
Just when Ogata was about to continue looking at the clouds in the sky leisurely with A-Machi, a voice from Hosaka suddenly came from behind:
"Hey! Mashima-sama! That prisoner is awake!"
Ogata raised his eyebrows, picked up the saber in his arms and stood up.
"Are you awake...it's pretty fast...speaking of it—why are you talking...so weird?"
If Ogata heard correctly, Hosaka seemed to have called him "Mashima-sama" just now, and the words just now were said in honorific terms.
Hearing Ogata's question, Hosaka showed his most frequent expression—a grin:
"I have a lot of admiration for you, Mashima-sama! It would be really rude if I still use the previous address and accent to talk to you."
"Come on, Mashima-sama, let's interrogate that scum together!"
...
...
The review process was surprisingly easy.
Hosaka just rounded his sandbag-sized fist, and hit the little bandit leader's face twice, and he recruited everything he knew.
It can be seen from this that this person's will is quite unstable, and he succumbed after only being punched twice.
But it was within Ogata's expectation that this person gave in so quickly.
Those who would rather die than submit basically have strong beliefs.
What faith can a mere bandit have?
Maybe there really will be bandits who would rather die than betray their companions for the sake of loyalty, but this kind of people can really be described as one in a million.
Ogata and the others first asked the name of the bandit leader.
After learning that the little leader's surname was Ono, he immediately asked about where their stronghold was, what weapons they had, and other important information.
According to Ohno, they are a group of bandits who have recently assembled and fled here. The members are all ronin, a total of 42 people.
Currently living in a certain place in the mountains, it will probably take more than an hour to walk from here to their stronghold.
The only weapons are the sabers on the waists of each member, and there is no such thing as armor.
Although with their numbers and strength, it is extremely easy to rob this small village with a population of less than one hundred.
But their leader still understands the concept of "sustainable development" and knows that if all the things in this village are robbed, there will be very few villagers in this village who can survive this winter.
Their leaders don't want to do this kind of thing.
So he sent Ono to lead people to negotiate with the village today, and only handed over half of the food, property or women, and let them go.
Leave some seeds for them, so that they can continue to grab them in the days to come.
What Ohno said to the village chief before, "As long as you obediently hand over your money, food or women, you won't come to harass them again" was just pure deceit.
According to their plan, after "borrowing" half of the village's money, grain or women, they will continue to "borrow" in the future.
"There are no such troublesome things as bows, iron cannons, armor, and spears..." Hosaka scratched his hair, "That would be much easier."
"It's not the troubled times of the Warring States Period now. Armors and spears are not so easy to obtain." Jin Cheng on the side said lightly, "It's normal for bandits not to have these things, but it's strange to have them."
In the troubled times of the Warring States period two hundred years ago, such things as weapons were really everywhere.
If you go to any battlefield, you can pick up a lot of weapons and equipment.
Some people even make a living by picking up weapons and equipment left over from the battlefield and selling them.
In the Warring States Period, not only bandits were generally equipped with excellent equipment, but even farmers often stocked with excellent equipment.
Farmers in the Warring States Period often picked up some weapons and equipment to protect themselves.
Either for the safety of the village, or simply to retaliate against these warriors who made them uneasy, they chose to take the risk and kill the lone warriors passing through their village, and then stripped their equipment.
Because there were too many weapons and equipment living among the people, Toyotomi Hideyoshi issued the "Sword Hunting Order" not long after he unified the world, confiscating all the weapons and equipment living among the people.
After finishing speaking, Jin Cheng folded his hands on his chest, pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice:
"42 people... We have killed 12 of them now, and there are 30 left... Even without such troublesome weapons, there are still a lot of people..."
Then after pondering for a while, Jincheng suddenly turned his head to look at Ogata, and asked Ogata with an extremely respectful attitude:
"Mashima-sama, what's your idea?"
Suddenly being named, Ogata raised his eyebrows unconsciously.
Ogata just now has a plan.
Now that he was named, Xu Qingqing simply cleared his throat, and said slowly:
"Now we have wiped out all their teams that came to 'borrow' money and food."
"The team's delay in returning will definitely arouse their suspicions."
"So I just happen to have a plan right now."
"Let's make a quick decision directly."
"Draw out your sword, go straight to Huanglong, attack their stronghold, kill the enemy as soon as you see it, and wipe out this group of bandits—this is my plan."
"What do you think?"
Such things as fan filters exist no matter in which era.
If it was before Ono and others attacked, Jincheng would only scoff when he heard about Ogata's plan.
But now, after learning that Ogata is a great swordsman, under the influence of this layer of fan filters, Jincheng only feels that he is worthy of being a swordsman, and he has courage and arrogance when he hears Ogata's plan!
The fire in Jin Cheng's eyes burned even more intensely.
Bathed in Jincheng's fiery gaze, Ogata couldn't help but pull down the corners of his mouth, thinking to himself:
——Is my plan so popular...?
