Chapter 461 Ogata: Why Am I Being Talked About in a Book Again? ! 【7400 Words】

After confronting Akizuki, Ogata understands why this Akizuki insists on wearing armor before the battle begins.

It is indeed quite dangerous for Qiuyue to fight without armor.

The 3-meter-long spear was thrown over, even if Qiuyue kept her hand, it was extremely easy to injure people, even fatally.

But the power of his long spear is still not as powerful as that of the "demon monk"'s naginata - in terms of strength alone, Qiuyue is obviously weaker than the "demon monk".

The battle with Qiuyue made Ogata feel like he was fighting a weakened version of the "demon monk".

With the experience of fighting long weapon users accumulated during the previous battle with the "demon monk" as a base, Ogata has no reason to lose to Qiuyue no matter what.

Before and after pressing the tip of the wooden knife against Qiuyue's throat, the system's prompt sounded in his mind:

【Ding! Defeat the enemy with Sakakibara Ichidou Ryu-Waterfall]

[Gain 150 personal experience points, 160 experience points for swordsmanship "Sakakibara One-Sword Style", and 35 experience points for swordsmanship "Nugo Two-Sword Style"]

[Current personal level: LV35 (2730/5400)]

[Sakakibara Ichikatsu level: 12 ranks (5815/9000)]

[Nugo Two Swords Level: Level 11 (4025/12000)]

Ogata just split Qiuyue's spear with the water, so that Qiuyue exposed enough flaws to tell the winner.

So it is probably because of this that the system judged that Ogata defeated the enemy with the water drop.

Before the one-hit decisive victory, Ogata used the blade counter of the Wuwo Two Swords Style to defeat Qiuyue's attacks several times, so the Wuwo Two Swords Style also gained some experience points.

Dojo can be said to be a needle drop now.

Neither the masters and apprentices in the dojo nor the people brought by Qiuyue are people who know nothing about martial arts.

They all know how difficult it is to fight a knife against a gun.

Although the masters and apprentices of the sword gym headed by Yi Baosheng knew that Ogata was very powerful, they couldn't help sweating when Ogata played.

The masters and apprentices who underestimated Ogata's strength were shocked and stunned after seeing Ogata defeat Qiuyue so neatly.

As for the dozen or so people who came here with Qiuyue, their reactions were even more exaggerated.

What Ogata guessed just now was not wrong, these people are Qiuyue's personal soldiers.

Because they are Qiuyue's personal soldiers, they know how strong Qiuyue is.

Possessing top-notch strength in the Sendai Fan army, he was selected as one of the "Seven Spears of Xianzhou"-such a person was actually killed by a swordsman in a not-so-famous sword hall in a certain unknown town. Diners who have never heard of its name are defeated!

And looking at the appearance of the diner - he seems to be able to handle it with ease.

The first person to recover from the shock and astonishment was Qiuyue.

"...Your name is Goro Mashima, right?" Qiuyue asked Mashima seriously.

"That's right." Ogata took his wooden knife from Qiuyue's throat.

"...it's amazing.

"

Although Qiuyue recovered from the shock, his expression still looked blank.

Although she lost to Ogata, Qiuyue did not show any signs of frustration.

He seemed a little... agitated.

"I didn't expect that such a small town, whose name I had never heard of before, would have such a master living in seclusion here..."

After all, Qiuyue said to Mashima in a somewhat excited tone.

"Mashima Goro-kun!"

Qiuyue used honorifics.

"Be sure to compete with me again!"

After all, Qiuyue swung the wooden spear in her hand.

However——Qiuyue hadn't had time to get into position yet, a deep voice sounded from behind him:

"Master Qiuyue, it's almost time."

Ogata followed the reputation - the speaker was a middle-aged man with a hideous scar on his face.

This middle-aged man was one of the dozen or so soldiers that Qiuyue brought.

As soon as "scarred face" said this, Qiuyue frowned.

"Out of time?"

"That's right. There's no time." "Scarface" nodded, "It's time to go back."

"Tsk..." Qiuyue's face showed a strong unwillingness.

Despite his unwillingness, he still silently raised the wooden spear in his hand and rested it on his shoulder.

"……understood."

After responding with "Scarface", Qiuyue looked at Ogata.

"Mashima-kun, will you stay here for a long time?"

"No." Ogata replied without thinking, "I'm just living in this city temporarily."

"In about a month or so, I should leave this place."

Ogata's words directly made Qiuyue look anxious.

"Dare to ask where you are going?"

Ogata didn't want to casually report his whereabouts to a guy who was almost a stranger.

"I don't know exactly where I'm going after I'm down, it's fine to go wherever I go."

Ogata shrugged.

"After all, I'm just a wanderer wandering aimlessly."

What he said just now was not a lie.

Because Ogata really didn't know where he was going in the future.

The land of Ezo is huge, and to find the pair of mentors and apprentices who might be able to cure the "immortal poison", I'm afraid it will take a long time to wander aimlessly in the land of Ezo.

"Wandering? Are you practicing martial arts?" Qiuyue continued to ask.

"Well, that's it." Ogata, who was too lazy to explain, nodded and admitted directly.

There was visible frustration on Qiuyue's face and eyes.

"It's a pity... I want to fight with you again..."

After sighing heavily, Qiuyue greeted his soldiers and asked them to help take off the feather weave and armor on his body.

By the way, he also took off the armor on Ogata.

After quickly removing the armor on himself and Ogata, and wrapping them all in a large cloth, Qiuyue said to Ogata seriously:

"Mashima-kun."

"With swordsmanship like yours, whether you go to the shogunate or a feudal country, you will definitely not have to worry about finding an official position."

"If you are interested, I can introduce you to my lord. My lord likes the art of war, and I have always never refused to come to strong warriors."

"I assure you, if you come to our Sendai Domain, at worst you can get an official position with a salary of 300 shi."

Qiuyue's words made many apprentices of Baosheng Sword Gym and Qiuyue's soldiers breathe heavily.

From a wanderer with no fixed place to a "serious warrior" with a salary of at least 300 stone years - in their eyes, this is something that cannot be met. It is enough to be called a step to the sky and a steady rise to the top.

But facing this beautiful event that in their eyes is completely smoked from the ancestral grave, Ogata replied without thinking:

"Sorry, I have no intention of stepping into an official career, thank you for your kindness."

——If you know that the person invited is "Ogata Yidaosai", you should not be scared to death...

Ogata couldn't help complaining in his heart.

Leaving aside the fact that he still had to deal with the important matter of going to Ezo, his true identity alone destined Ogata to miss his official career in this life.

Unless Ogata has been wearing this human skin mask, never taking it off in front of others, and has been living as "Mashima Goro".

But for Ogata, he doesn't have the slightest desire to live the life of "Mashima Goro" who needs to pretend all his life.

Moreover——Ogata's three views are not in sync with the mainstream three views of this era.

So facing the olive branch thrown by Qiuyue, Ogata only felt that he wanted to show a wry smile: the class solidification in this era is really outrageous.

A person like him with outstanding swordsmanship can only get an annual salary of 300 shi...

Although the annual salary of 300 shi is enough to live a decent life.

But when he thinks that there are so many samurai born as masters, who are destined to inherit a family salary of hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of shi, Ogata just feels very emotional...

In this era, hard work is almost impossible to bridge the gap caused by casting different tires.

Ogata's ruthless refusal made the look of astonishment on Qiuyue's face even more intense.

"...Is that so."

Qiuyue sighed again.

"Since I don't want to be an official, I won't force it."

"Although I don't want to step into an official career, I still welcome you to come to our Sendai Domain at any time."

"I admire the tough men the most."

"If you come to my Sendai Fan, I will definitely treat you with a feast."

Speaking of this, Qiuyue seemed to think of something, paused, and then added:

"However——if you want to come to my Sendai Clan, then I suggest that you come after next summer."

"Until tomorrow's summer, I should not be in the Sendai Domain anymore."

"Understood." Ogata nodded, and said casually, "When I have the opportunity and time in the future, I will consider going to Sendai to gain some knowledge."

...

...

Qiuyue has finished all that she wanted to say to Ogata.

With a bit of unwillingness still remaining on his face, Qiuyue led his soldiers and saluted Ogata respectfully, then left the Baosheng Sword Gym quickly.

As soon as Qiuyue and the others left, the masters and apprentices of the sword gym headed by the curator Baosheng immediately surrounded them.

The scene is enough to be called "conversation".

Some praised Ogata's swordsmanship.

It was the first time for many of them to see "breaking a gun with a knife".

Some people also asked how Ogata was going during the two days he was away from Nishinocho.

Someone also asked Ogata why he didn't agree to Qiuyue just now, and why he just gave up the opportunity to enter an official career.

Zai Ogata showed a helpless smile, answering these questions thrown by the masters and apprentices of Baosheng Sword Gym one by one.

...

...

at the same time--

On a mountain road not far from Nishikino-cho.

"Master, where are we going next?"

Mizuno, who just woke up from sleep, cast a questioning look at Kasaka in front of him.

"Hmm..." Hosaka rubbed his chin, "Let me think..."

Huosaka and Mizuno were the last group of people to leave the village.

After finishing the sumptuous lunch provided by the villagers at noon yesterday—more polished rice, radish and pickles, Tsuchiya and Jincheng left.

Jin Chengben was practicing martial arts, and the direction he wanted to go happened to be the same as Tsuchiya who wanted to go back to the city where he lived, so he went with Tsuchiya.

Not long after Tsuchiya and Jincheng left, Hosaka and Mizuno also left the village.

The master and apprentice have always been like leaves floating on the sea—wherever the waves push them, they will go.

Their wandering is a veritable aimless wandering.

Go wherever you want.

The reason why they are in the Ou area now is because they had a whim two months ago and suddenly wanted to see the Ou area that they had never been to before.

That's why the scene where Mizuno, who just woke up, asks Hosaka where he is going, and Hosaka thinks seriously - such a scene has appeared countless times.

Usually it's Kasaka who decides where to go.

After a moment of contemplation, Hosaka clapped his hands.

"Let's go to Edo next!"

"Going to Edo?" Mizuno looked puzzled, "What are you going to Edo for?"

"No reason." Hosaka shrugged, "It's just that I haven't been to a big city for a long time, so I just want to go to a big city after a long absence."

"And it's almost New Year's Eve."

"For things like Chinese New Year, it would be too boring if it was celebrated in the wild."

"Let's live a peaceful year in Edo."

"and……"

Kasaka gave Mizuno a meaningful look.

"You are from Edo, you have been away from home for so long, it's time to go home and have a look."

Mizuno was taken aback.

Then he smiled wryly:

"Master, the last sentence is the real reason why you plan to go to Edo, right?"

Kasaka smiled without saying a word.

"Okay." Mizuno stretched vigorously, "Then let's go to Edo now."

"But will we have time to reach Edo before the Chinese New Year?"

"Well, as long as you don't dawdle, there will definitely be no problem in arriving in Edo before the Chinese New Year."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hosaka paused as if he remembered something.

Then he patted his forehead.

"Yeah, almost forgot."

"That guy Ishida said a few months ago that he wanted his precious apprentice to participate in the 'Imperial Trial' to see the world."

"So he took his precious apprentice to Edo."

"I don't know if the two of them are still in Edo now."

After hearing the name "Ishida" from Kasaka, Mizuno couldn't help shrinking his neck.

Huosaka has a bold personality and is easy to make friends. He makes friends wherever he goes, and friends can be said to be everywhere in the world.

The "Ishida" he mentioned just now is one of Hosaka's friends.

And that's a very good friend.

The full name of that "Ishida" is "Ishida Hironoshi".

He made good use of Baozangyuan's gun skills and had an apprentice named Hongzhi.

His spear skills are very good, and he is also a very talented person.

Hosaka had introduced to Mizuno before that Ishida came from a good family. He has practiced both literature and martial arts since he was a child. He used to be a teacher of a certain Confucianist in Sinology and received a fairly advanced education.

But because he was more interested in martial arts, after studying for a few years under the seat of that great scholar of Sinology, he began to practice martial arts with a spear on his back.

Because he once worshiped the great Confucianist of Sinology as his teacher, Ishida also has a lot of experience in dancing and writing.

Mizuno has never been good at dealing with Ishida.

Because Ishida is a public figure.

Not only that, but his apprentice is also a person who has mastered this way...

The two of them are not only masters and apprentices, but also that kind of relationship...

Mizuno has always been respectful and insensitive to the public.

Therefore, Mizuno never knew how to get along with Ishida, who was fond of other ways.

Mizuno has always been curious about why his master has such a good relationship with a person from all walks of life...

Mizuno once doubted whether his master was also a fellow.

In fact, Mizuno also tried to directly ask Hosaka if he is also a Taoist. But Hosaka denied it, saying that the reason why he has a good relationship with Ishida is only because Ishida talks more funny, and chatting with him is more comfortable and happy.

"Hahaha." Hosaka laughed heroically, "The last time I saw Ishida and his master and apprentice was five months ago."

"After saying goodbye to Ishida and his disciples, the two of them will go to Edo."

"A lot of interesting things have happened in the past five months."

"Just the story of fighting side by side with the great swordsman Mashima Goro-kun and fighting bandits this time is enough to talk for a long time."

"If that guy Ishida is still in Edo, let's have a good chat with him!"

"Mizuno, let's go!"

After all, Hosaka cheered up and strode towards the official road not far away.

Mizuno followed closely behind.

After walking side by side with Hosaka and stepping on the official road together, Mizuno turned his head unconsciously and looked to the west.

To the west——is the location of the village they saved.

"Mizuno, what's wrong? What are you looking at?"

"It's nothing." Mizuno looked away, "It's just... a little emotional."

Mizuno couldn't help showing a wry smile.

"We fought bloody battles to save the villagers in that village."

"But the villagers in that village have been wary of us from the beginning to the end, and never fully believed us."

Until Hosaka and the others left, they didn't see the young women in their village.

Apparently - the villagers are hiding the young women of their village.

Although when they left, a group of villagers headed by the village chief sent them off, but Mizuno could guess it with his toes—there must be many villagers who wanted them to leave quickly.

After Mizuno's words fell, Kasaka was stunned.

Then, like Mizuno, he showed a wry smile.

"It's normal to be wary."

"Regardless of the world, farmers have always been the underdog."

"There was a war, and they were conscripted and robbed of money and food."

"Peaceful, but there is still the risk of natural and man-made disasters and family ruin."

"The years of being 'bullied' have taught them various ways to protect themselves."

Speaking of this, Kasaka suddenly let out a self-deprecating smile.

"Well, people like us are not qualified to say that farmers are the 'bullied' party."

"After all, us warriors are also being bullied."

"We lower-level warriors are bullied by superior warriors."

"The superior samurai were bullied by the daimyo."

"Daimyo are being bullied by the shogun."

"Even if a new shogunate is established in the future, this kind of situation where one level bullies the other level will probably continue for tens of millions of years."

"After all, if everyone is not allowed to bully the first level, it is impossible to establish a country."

Mizuno cast a surprised look at Kasaka.

"Although master, you are usually careless and say vulgar and rude things, but occasionally you say things that feel like the kind of university students would say..."

"Don't underestimate your master." Hosaka grinned, "I'm also someone who studied at Terakoya for several years."

...

...

A military camp of the Sendai Domain is located 1 mile (4 km) from Nishinocho.

Just when Qiuyue rode a horse and led his dozen or so soldiers back to his own barracks majestically, a very familiar voice sounded from his side:

"Qiuyue! You came back in time! Banze's army is moving faster than expected."

"So we expect to pull out the camp earlier."

"If you come back a little slower, maybe you will delay the time to get out of the camp."

Qiuyue, who dismounted from her horse, looked at the reputation: "Is that so... Then it seems that I really came back in time."

The person who was talking to Qiuyue was a young samurai with a height of about 1.7 meters and a thin body.

Although this young warrior doesn't look very strong, he is actually one of the "Seven Spears of Xianzhou" like Qiuyue.

Like Qiuyue, he is a fierce general who has won the three armies bravely, named "Kuroda Xuanyi".

The reason why their Sendai Fan army camped near Nishino Town was actually to wait for another Sendai Fan army to walk behind them.

Because the marching speed of that army was slower, Qiuyue and the others stopped and waited for this army to catch up.

Because staying in the barracks is a bit boring, and because I heard that there is a sword gym called "Baosheng" in Jinye Town not far away, Qiuyue rushed to Jinye Town with a dozen soldiers in the early morning. Huibaosheng Sword Hall.

"How? Have you had any fun at Nishinocho?"

"It was a worthwhile trip to Nishino Town this time." Qiuyue smiled happily, "I met a master this time."

After all, Qiuyue detailed to Heiyue what happened to him in Baosheng Sword Gym just now.

"Oh?" Kuroda raised his eyebrows, showing a look of interest in what Qiuyue said just now, "Really? That guy really defeated you?"

"En." Qiuyue nodded without hesitation, "Not a single word of what I just said is false."

Kuroda and Qiuyue are both one of the "Seven Guns of Xianzhou".

Therefore, Kuroda is quite clear about the strength of Akizuki.

In a city whose name had never been heard before, a young samurai who could defeat one of their "Xianzhou Seven Guns" unexpectedly appeared-this surprised Kuroda very much.

"I didn't expect such a master to live in seclusion in the small Nishino Town..."

Kuroda turned his head and looked in the direction of Nishino Town.

"If it weren't for the fact that the camp is about to be pulled out now, otherwise I would really like to meet the person who defeated you."

"What's the name of the person who defeated you? Mashima what?"

"Goro." Qiuyue said word by word, "Mashima Goro."

"Is he a person who has lived in Nishikino Town for a long time?"

"No." Qiuyue shook her head regretfully, "I asked him, and he said he was only temporarily living in Nishino Town."

"After a month or so, he will leave Jinye Town and continue to travel around the world and practice martial arts."

"That's it...it's such a pity." Kuroda sighed lightly, "I still thought that after the war with Ezo was over, I would come to Nishikino Town to see how powerful Mashima Goro is."

"Ah, speaking of this...Qiuyue, I almost forgot to tell you."

"Qiuyue, we're going to speed up a little bit from now on."

"Huh? Why?" Qiuyue asked back.

"I have received exact information just now - the marching speed of Huizhou's army is much faster than we imagined."

"If we continue to move at this speed, it is very likely that we will not be able to reach Ezodi before the Huizhou army."

Speaking of this, Kuroda Pi laughed twice.

"How can our Sendai samurai lag behind the Aizu samurai?"

Huizhou - that is, Aizu Fan.

In the Northeast region, another male feudal clan as famous as the Sendai feudal clan.

There is a popular saying among the people: "In terms of financial resources, the Sendai domain is superior, and in terms of military strength, the Aizu domain is superior."

Due to various reasons such as folk customs, the samurai of Aizu Domain are famously tough.

The public generally believes that in terms of military strength, the Aizu Domain is undoubtedly the number one in the Northeast.

In terms of comprehensive strength, who is the No. 1 in the Northeast between Aizu Fan and Sendai Fan? This question has always been one of the topics that the public likes to talk about after dinner.

Because it is generally believed that the military power of the Aizu Domain is the strongest, most people believe that the Aizu Domain is the number one in the Tohoku region.

The samurai of the Sendai domain have always been quite unconvinced about this-in terms of force, they are not inferior to the samurai of Aizu.

Therefore, when the shogunate issued a summons to the Northeastern feudal clans, asking the Northeastern feudal clans to send troops to fight against Ezo, the samurai of Sendai were very happy—the opportunity to prove that the Sendai samurai were stronger than the Aizu samurai came.

When leading the army to go out, Akizuki and the Sendai samurai held their breath—vowing to compete with the Aizu samurai.

Whether it is combat effectiveness or marching speed.

In the evening, the Tianjin army arrived at the front line in one step-they couldn't bear this kind of thing.

So just after Kuroda's voice fell, Qiuyue grinned and laughed:

"So that's it, the Huizhou army has already run ahead of us..."

"Couldn't they also want to compete with our Sendai samurai?"

"Now that they're ahead of us, it's time for us to speed up."

"Send orders to the whole army now."

"Let them be mentally prepared that the days ahead will be a little harder."

...

...

Edo, on a certain street——

Hongzhi hugged the rice ball he bought in a depressed mood, and walked slowly on the way back to the hotel.

Hong Zhi felt very depressed during this time.

Because his master, Ishida Hiroshi, made him very angry during this time.

In order for him to see the world, his master Ishida intends to let him participate in the "Imperial Trial".

Not long after arriving in Edo, the two of them went to Yoshihara for a moment of curiosity.

Looking back now, Hongzhi regrets it very much-should not have gone to Yoshihara at that time.

While wandering around Yoshihara, I ran into a samurai named Goro Mashima.

That guy obviously looked ordinary, but Ishida became interested in him.

After the martial arts test of "Gozen Trial" began, Ishida still peeked at Mashima Goro from a distance.

That Mashima Goro just participated in the martial arts test for 2 days and suddenly disappeared.

But Ishida still seems to be obsessed with Mashima.

Hongzhi no longer knows what his master is going to do now.

Obviously the "Imperial Trial Cooperation" has been over for a long time, but they still stay in Edo.

Every day in the hotel, he looked thoughtful, wondering what he was thinking.

The rice balls that Hongzhi is holding in his arms are the ones he bought for lunch at the hotel with his master at noon.

"Master, I'm back."

Hongzhi opened the door of the hotel room where he and his master lived.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw his master's face was flushed and he looked very energetic.

"Oh! Hongzhi! You're back!"

Looking at the master's appearance, Hong Zhi frowned involuntarily.

"Master, what's the matter with you? You seem to be in a very good mood."

"You're right." Ishida crossed his arms, "I'm really in a good mood right now."

"Because I've made up my mind."

"I want to write a Joruri Bunraku puppet play script based on Mashima Goro!"

When I asked everyone if there were any female fans, a book friend told me: I always drive, how could there be female fans?

I think what he said is very reasonable.

So I'm not going to fix it.

If I don't drive, then I lose at least half of my motivation to write (serious face).

I'm getting ready to drive a new car. Now before driving, let’s make some preparations first, let’s take you to review the 3D of A-Machi:
