I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Even outside the sword hall, the roar of Ishikawa soldiers and horses could be clearly heard.

Not all the disciples of Ishikawa Sword Gym followed Yuan Shan and the others to mess around.

There were also a small group of people who stayed in the sword hall to practice swords peacefully and did not interfere with Yuan Shan's actions.

For example——the two disciples currently guarding the gate of the Ishikawa Sword Gym did not follow Yuanshan and the others to make a big fuss at the Sakakibara Sword Gym or the Liuya.

So they don't need to go to the dojo to listen to the training.

But because of this, the two of them were temporarily assigned to guard the gate of the sword hall, and no one was allowed to enter the sword hall.

Ishikawa Bingma has decided to spend all the rest of today's time on reprimanding Yuan Shan and others.

So today's sword hall will be temporarily closed, no one will be allowed to practice swords in the dojo, and no one will be allowed to enter again.

Guarding the gate is a dull and boring thing. After a while, the two disciples who were in charge of guarding the gate started to chat.

"Hey, master, how long does he have to lecture..."

"Who knows..." Another disciple shrugged, "Master looks really angry, and he won't be able to stop talking for a while."

"Senior Yuanshan is too unsteady...Even if he has a conflict with that so-and-so in the Sakakibara Sword Gym, it should be resolved in private...Why do you have to mobilize so many people?"

"Hey... when people are angry, they can do anything. Speaking of which—who are Senior Yuan Shan and the others looking for?"

"Let's think about it... I remember it's called... ogata... yisei... yes! I remembered! The person Senior Toyama and the others are looking for is Ogata Yishi!"

"Ogata Itsuki...what did that guy do to make Senior Toyama so angry."

"Who knows. He must have done something unforgivable to make Senior Yuan Shan so angry."

"I don't know where this Ogata Yishi is now..."

"Hahahahaha, I must have been hiding somewhere long ago and didn't dare to come out. After learning that there are so many people looking for him aggressively, I must be scared to death."

"Hahaha, that's right, he was lucky. When Senior Toyama looked for him, he happened to be away from the Sakakibara Sword Gym. When he returns to the Sakakibara Sword Gym now, he must have huddled in fear when he learned that so many people came to settle accounts with him. Somewhere, dare not go to the streets.”

"I guess, that Ogata should be hiding behind his master Hanbei Sakakibara, begging for his master's protection."

"I think so too! After being approached by so many people, that Ogata must not dare to go out on the street! He should be huddled in the Sakakibara Sword Gym right now, please help him solve today's incident quickly by his master. "

"It's normal to feel scared. If it were me, I would be too scared to go anywhere... Hey! Who are you?"

When this disciple was chatting happily, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed someone walking towards them slowly.

Turning his head, he looked intently at the guy who was slowly walking towards them.

Is a fairly young samurai.

Dark blue top, black hakama.

It is worth noting that this young samurai did not shaved Tsukiyo's head, but had long hair, and a lot of hair hung down on his forehead.

The hair hanging from the forehead is quite long, and the tips of the hair have blocked some of the young warrior's eyebrows.

"...Is this the Ishikawa Sword Gym?"

When the two disciples guarding the gate heard the young warrior's question, they were stunned for a moment, and then said proudly:

"That's right!"

"If you want to come to our sword hall to learn swords from a master, please choose another day. Something happened in the sword hall today. Until tomorrow, the gate of the sword hall will not be open to the public."

At this point in time,

A young samurai came to visit—the two disciples guarding the gate thought that the young samurai had come to learn swords from a master.

When Ishikawa Bingma sent the two of them to guard the gate, he specially gave them a death order - no outsiders were allowed to enter the sword hall before getting his consent.

Therefore, without waiting for the young samurai in front of him to speak, the two disciples guarding the gate drove the young samurai away vigorously, and asked the young samurai to come to apprentice again some day.

The young samurai ignored the chase of the two men.

He raised his head, looked at the wide and thick wooden door in front of him with calm eyes, and said softly:

"It seems that I have not gone wrong."

After finishing speaking, the young samurai stepped forward again and walked straight to the gate of the Ishikawa Sword Gym in front of him.

"Hey! You kid! Didn't you hear what we just said? Today, master, he doesn't see outsiders! If you want to learn swords from a master, you can wait another day... Hey! What do you want to do? What do you want to do?! Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! "

"You, you bastard! What do you want?! Let go of him... um...! My shoulder..."

...

...

"……master."

From just now, Itagaki has been silently listening to Ishikawa Bingma's reprimand.

Itagaki finally spoke again when Ishikawa Bingma temporarily stopped reprimanding and adjusted his breathing disordered by anger and successive roars.

"I admit - what we did today is indeed a bit extreme..."

"But master, please forgive Senior Yuan Shan. He also has his own reasons for doing so."

"If you know the difficulties of Senior Toyama, and what that Ogata Yasuo has done to Senior Toyama, you should be able to understand me."

As soon as Itagaki's voice fell, the soldiers and horses roared again:

"Itagaki! Tell me quickly! What is the conflict between Toyama and that Ogata?"

"...Sorry, I can't say."

Toyama's wife had an affair with Ogata - Itagaki really didn't have the guts to tell the truth.

"You... oh..." The commander of the army and horse sighed, "When you went to the Sakakibara Sword Gym, you should have come back when you found out that Ogata Yishi is not there!"

"What the hell are you thinking! You even forcibly broke into the Sakakibara Sword Gym! It's all over now! You don't even know how it will end!"

"At that time, we suspected that Ogata hid in the Sakakibara Sword Gym after he heard us entering the sword Gym." A disciple sitting behind Itagaki responded in a calm tone.

After saying this, the disciple paused.

Then changed to a mocking tone, and continued:

"I don't know where that Ogata is hiding now."

"He should have known by now that we were looking for him."

"That Ogata should be hiding in a hidden corner at this time, afraid that we will come to the door, so afraid that the whole person is trembling..."

Boom—!

Before the last syllable of the disciple's words could be uttered, a loud noise suddenly sounded outside the dojo, enough to forcibly interrupt the attention of those who heard it.

Everyone in the dojo followed the sound and looked outside the dojo.

"...What happened..." Bingma murmured in a low voice while frowning.

The soldiers and horses could hear the sound coming from the gate of the sword hall.

The soldiers and horses, who couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in their hearts, got up first and rushed towards the gate of the sword hall.

And itagaki and others who were also full of doubts also hurriedly got up and followed behind the soldiers and horses.

When he came to the gate of the sword hall, the scene reflected in Bingma, Itagaki and others made Bingma and his pupils shrink in shock.

The originally closed wooden door was opened.

Behind the gate lay a man moaning in pain on the stone pavement of white sandstone.

This is the disciple sent by Ishikawa Bingma to temporarily guard the gate.

Standing in front of the gate was a young warrior wearing a dark blue Wu suit, a black hakama, and long hair.

In the right hand of this young warrior, he still holds a sword that has been unsheathed, but it is facing the person with the back of the sword.

At his feet lay another man who was also moaning in pain.

This is the other of the two disciples sent by Ishikawa Bingma to temporarily guard the gate.

The young samurai raised his eyes and looked at the soldiers and horses, Itagaki and others who had just galloped out of the dojo with a calm and somewhat terrifying gaze.

Then—

"Ogata Yishi, come on."

In the same quite calm tone, he said something that made Bingma, Itagaki and others feel no longer calm.
