I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Seeing that Ogata had misunderstood her, the woman blushed instantly and said urgently:

"I'm not a prostitute! The reason why I'm waiting for you to come back at your door is just to tell you something important!"

"Important things? As far as I know—the two of us should never know each other."

"It's true that I don't know each other, but I really have something very important to discuss with you!"

"... If you have anything important to say to me, just say it here. You finish talking quickly, and I can go back to the room and sleep quickly."

"This is not a place to talk about things." The woman looked around, "Let's talk in the house."

"...No." Ogata categorically refused after scanning the woman vigilantly up and down.

Seeing that Ogata rejected her, the woman was taken aback for a moment, and then said anxiously:

"why not?"

"Because I would never let a stranger into my house casually. Even a weak woman who looks weak."

"If you have anything important to say to me, do it here."

"Anyway, I will never take you into my house. If you have to come into my house to tell me about your important business, then I can only ask you to leave here."

The woman bit her red lip.

After hesitating for a while, he said seriously:

"I see...then let's talk about it here."

"Before I tell my business, please allow me to introduce myself."

After all, the woman made a beautiful bow to Ogata.

"I am Toyama Renrou's wife—Ashi."

"Toyama Renrou's wife..." Ogata frowned, "I don't know why Toyama's wife came to see me at night?"

"Master Ogata... I wonder if you can intentionally lose to my husband in the upcoming competition to worship the gods?"

As soon as Ah Shi finished speaking, Xu Fangyi replied without thinking:

"Impossible! Are you going to let me play fake matches?"

"Fight, fight fake matches...?"

Ah Shi rolled his tongue, trying his best to spit out the unfamiliar words that he was not used to.

"Ah, don't worry about what 'fake match' means." Ogata waved his hand, "Did Yuanshan send you to persuade me?"

"No, it's not. My husband didn't know about it. I came to you on my own initiative."

"... Ma'am." After being silent for a while, Ogata said in a concentrated voice, "I don't quite understand."

"Your husband is not a weak person."

"His swordsmanship is very superb, and I don't know if I can beat him now."

"Your husband is not fighting a battle that must be lost, why come to intercede for him for no reason?"

"It is indeed as you said just now, Ogata-sama - my husband is very strong, the battle he is about to fight is not a battle that must be lost..."

Speaking of this, a faint wry smile appeared on Ah Shi's face.

"But it's not a winnable battle at the same time, is it?"

Ogata did not deny what Ash said just now.

Ogata doesn't think that the current self will win against Toyama.

But at the same time, I don't think that the current self will lose to Yuanshan.

"Master Ogata, do you know what terrible things will happen to my husband if he loses?"

"I don't know." Xu shook his head suspiciously.

"My husband is a very confident person..." Ah Shi said softly, "As early as several months ago, he boasted to his brothers and sisters that he will definitely win this year's competition."

"If he loses, he will commit suicide by caesarean section."

"...Your husband is really confident.

Ogata smiled, "I dare to make such a promise." But this kind of promise should not count, right? His fellow apprentices probably wouldn't take Yuan Shan's words seriously. "

With a bitter look on his face, Ash shook his head lightly, as if he had eaten a very sour grape:

"My husband's brothers and sisters probably wouldn't take my husband's words seriously."

"But my husband takes it seriously."

"My husband is not only quite confident, but also has a very strong personality."

"As long as he says something, he will definitely do what he says."

"If I lose the competition to worship the gods, even without the urging and coercion of my brothers and sisters, my husband will definitely fulfill his promise and cut open his stomach neatly..."

After hearing Ah Shi's words, Ogata couldn't help shrinking his neck.

Ogata had to admit—a person with such a strong temper that was somewhat pathological like Toyama was quite scary.

"It shouldn't be..." Ogata said in a hesitant tone, "Is it true that someone would commit suicide by caesarean section because of such a promise that basically no one cares about..."

"Others may not, but my husband will definitely!" Ah Shi said in a firm tone, "I have been with my husband for a long time, so I know what he is like."

"If he loses the god sacrifice competition, even if all the brothers stop him and tell him 'no one remembers this promise', my husband will definitely find an opportunity that no one can stop him, and quietly put himself His stomach was cut open..."

"I don't want my husband to commit suicide by caesarean section..."

"So I don't want my husband to lose this year's competition..."

"Master Ogata..."

While talking, Ah Shi lowered her head and bowed deeply to Ogata.

"I beg you... can you deliberately lose this year's god sacrifice competition...?"

Looking at Ah Shi who begged him for mercy, Ogata felt a little complicated.

Emotionally speaking, Ogata sympathizes with Ah Shi very much.

It can be seen that Ah Shi loves her husband very much.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have done such a thing like finding her husband's opponent overnight and begging her husband's opponent to show mercy.

But sympathy belongs to sympathy, and Ogata does not intend to accept Ah Shi's request.

After clearing his throat, Ogata said softly:

"Miss Ash, please raise your head up."

"No matter what I say, I am also a warrior and a man. I really can't do such a thing of deliberately losing to an opponent."

Hearing Ogata's words, Ah Shi bit his lower lip again with a bit of unwillingness on his face.

"Master Ogata!"

Ah Shi shouted Ogata's name, then reached into the belt of her Wufu, took out something, and then quickly walked towards Ogata who was only 2 steps away from her.

When there was only half a step away from Ogata, Ah Shi stopped, and then stuffed the thing in his hand into Ogata's arms.

"Master Ogata! Please! Please help me!"

Ah Shi stuffed a small cloth bag into Ogata's arms.

When Ah Shi stuffed the small cloth bag into Ogata's arms, the small cloth bag in her hand shook quite a bit because of Ah Shi's movements.

When the cloth bag was shaken, Ogata clearly heard a very crisp sound.

This is the sound of copper coins colliding together.
