I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Page 868

Horita, whose face changed greatly in fright, quickly lay down on the ground, and apologized repeatedly to Sadanobu Matsudaira.

Songping calmly rubbed the center of his brows, and then let out a long sigh.

"……okay."

"You make arrangements now to start mobilizing troops immediately."

"Remember, everything must be done in secret, and no one should notice."

"Then immediately figure out for me the number of iron cannons and artillery that can be mobilized now."

"If your success in mobilizing troops satisfies me, I don't care about your negligence this time."

Hearing Matsudaira Sadanobu's words, Hota showed ecstasy on his face, shouting "Yes" and "The next official will hang his life".

Matsudaira Sadanobu ignored Hotta, stood up silently, walked to the window, and looked southeast. Starting from Osaka, walking about 13 miles to the southeast, which is about 50 kilometers in modern times, you can reach the holy place in the hearts of countless Buddhists: Koyasan .

"Don't force me to use the method Oda Nobunaga used to deal with Mount Hiei..." Matsudaira Sadanobu murmured.

Solemnly declare: The worldview of this book is half-empty, please do not confuse the Koyasan in this book with the real Koyasan.

The author has always been a little worried. If this book is spread to Japan and let the monks of Koyasan see it, will I be pulled into the "Koyasan travel blacklist"... I have always wanted to travel to Koyasan. If you blacklist, I will cry

Chapter 634 Zhizhou: What do you want to do with Yidao Zhai? ! 【7000】

I Became a Swordsman in Ancient Japan Volume 1 The Life of a Samurai from Scratch Chapter 634 Naoshu: What do you want to do with Iktosai? ! 7000 Osaka, the hotel where Ogata and the others lived

With the help of A-Machi, after putting on the kimono, hakama, and haori, and inserting two new knives at the left waist, he turned to A-Machi and A-Zhu and said:

"Then I'll take a step forward."

Ogata was used to the feeling of wearing a knife on his left waist. After sending Da Shitian and Da Zizai for repair, Ogata felt extremely uncomfortable, and felt like running naked with his clothes off.

Not only are I not used to it, but I always have a sense of insecurity if I don't wear two knives around my waist.

No one can say something like "emergency".

Maybe during the few days waiting for Da Shitian and Da Zizai to recover, suddenly on a certain day, a lunatic who likes to kill indiscriminately swung a knife at Ogata.

So just to be on the safe side, Ogata bought two new knives from a certain knife shop on the day he sent the saber for repair.

Because it was only intended to be used temporarily, Ogata did not plan to spend a lot of money on expensive knives. The two knives combined cost Ogata 2 taels of gold.

A-Machi, who was kneeling in front of Ogata, nodded and said with a smile:

"Be careful on the road."

Today is the day of the "big test".

Now that he has promised Zhi Zhouhui to attend, Ogata does not intend to break his promise.

The current time is only around 7 o'clock in the morning, and there is still a long time before the start time of the "big test match": 8 o'clock, but Ogata, who does not want to be late for the sake of politeness, has already been with the help of A-Machi Put on your clothes and get ready to go.

Feng Mo had already gone out early in the morning, and went to visit his old subordinate, Xian Bingwei, to catch up on the old days.

"Do you two have any plans for this morning?" Ogata asked.

"No plans!" A Zhu said first, "Miss A Ding and I plan to go shopping and walk around places we haven't been to before!"

Ogata nodded: "Then you two can go shopping wherever you want this morning to pass the time."

"I'll go first, and I'll be back after noon today."

After finishing speaking, Ogata waved his hands at A-Machi and the others, and left the room, then left the hotel without stopping, and strode towards the Quanbingkan, where the "big test match" was held this year.

Osaka, Isshiki Sword House, Isshiki Flower's Room

In the clean and tidy room, there is only the sound of combing hair.

Wearing his favorite goose yellow kimono, with a pink sash around his waist, and a pair of cute white tabi socks on his feet, Isshiki is facing the mirror in front of him, combing his hair.

After tidying her waist-length hair, Isshiki began to pull her hair in a slightly jerky way.

She started by combing her hair in what is now the most popular hairstyle: the Shimada bun.

After finishing her hair, Isshiki began to carefully look at herself in the mirror.

He looked at the right half of his face with the Shimada bun, then looked at the left half of his face, and finally pursed his lips, shook his head slightly, and spread out the hair he just tied.

After loosening her hair, Isshiki wore a new hairstyle: ball bun.

After finishing the new hairstyle, Isshiki repeated the steps just now, looked at herself in the mirror carefully, and then parted the hair she had just done.

She keeps getting new hairstyles.

Shimada bun, ball bun, and Katsuyama bun are the most commonly used hairstyles for girls. She has tried them all, but no matter what kind of hairstyle she feels, she is a little dissatisfied.

Eventually, she switched back to her original hairstyle, the now-popular Shimada updo.

After combing her hair, Isshiki opened a small box on the table next to her.

Inside the box are the cosmetics that I borrowed from my mother after learning makeup from my mother the day before yesterday.

As long as Isshika can remember, she has no interest in makeup or anything, and never wears makeup. She has always been without makeup on weekdays.

It was not until the day before yesterday that Isshika came into contact with this skill for the first time after asking her mother for advice.

Although I have worked hard to learn makeup from my mother in the past 2 days, it may be because Isshika's talent in this area is very poor. After 2 full days, Isshika only learned how to apply lip gloss and thrush.

Opening the small shell-shaped box containing lip gloss, and dipping some light red lip gloss with the ring finger and little finger of her right hand, Isshiki followed her mother's teachings and applied her red lips according to her memory.

It seems that the paint is a bit too colorful and looks like a wandering girl

Wipe off, reapply.

It's a bit too light, like it's not painted

Wipe it off again, smear it again

Isshiki wiped her lips repeatedly like this 7 times before she finally got a color that could barely satisfy her.

Wiping off the remaining lip fat on her fingers, Isshiki began to draw her eyebrows.

Compared with the previous hair pulling and lip balm, the thrush went much more smoothly, and the effect Isshika wanted was drawn only once.

Putting down the thrush pen, Isshiki let out a sigh of satisfaction

"Xiao Hua, are you okay? You've been messing around in the room for nearly half an hour. What are you doing? You're not sleeping in, are you? We're about to leave! If you're sleeping in, get up quickly!"

His father suddenly sounded outside the door: Yishihua's voice startled Yishihua.

Zhizhou is getting old now, so most of the affairs of the sword gym are handed over to Yishihua's father: Yishirushui to take care of it.

The current Rushui is almost the actual owner of the Yise Sword Gym, so he has to participate in the "big test match" feast.

"C-Cause I'm not sleeping late!" Yisehua hurriedly said.

"Since you're not sleeping late, come out quickly! We're leaving!"

After finishing speaking, Yishihua heard the sound of her father's footsteps gradually going away.

After confirming that her father had left, Isshiki turned her gaze back to the mirror in front of her.

Isshiki is usually without makeup, and I am used to it. Looking at myself in the mirror with red lips and eyebrows, I can't help but feel a strange sense of strangeness.

Isshikika's skin is already very fair, the kind that can reflect light under the sun's rays.

Her already very fair skin complemented her red lips with lip balm, making Yishihua at this time exude a completely different beauty from her without makeup.

"Half an hour"

Yishihua whispered.

"Has it been so long?"

Concentrating on her hair and makeup, she felt that less than a stick of incense had passed.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with her hair and makeup, Yishihua got up, folded her hands in front of her body, walked out of the room slowly, and walked towards the gate of their Yishijian Gym.

At this time, many people gathered at the gate of the Yise Sword Academy, Yishihua's grandfather and father, as well as more than ten apprentices who will be brought to participate in the "big test".

Zhizhou and Rushui are now giving lectures to more than a dozen apprentices in front of them, and what they say is nothing more than reminding them to pay attention to politeness later, and not to do anything that will insult their reputation of Yise Sword Gym.

Among these more than ten apprentices, only 3 of them are going to compete with others in the meeting, and the rest are valued by Zhizhou and Rushui. They plan to take them to watch the trial match, see the world, and have a good look at the masters How to wield a sword.

Zhizhou and Rushui's lecture just ended at this time.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a light-yellow figure finally walking slowly towards them, Rushui turned his head away quickly.

After seeing her daughter's current appearance, Ru Shui couldn't help but startled: "Xiao Hua, have you put on makeup?"

It was the first time for her as a father to see her daughter's makeup.

"It's just a whim, just painted the lower lips and eyebrows." Yishihua said lightly.

The ten or so apprentices who had just finished their training swarmed towards Yisehua.

"Miss Isshiki! Your makeup is so beautiful!"

"Miss Isshiki, this is the first time I've seen you put on makeup?"

"Miss One Color"

Isshika, the granddaughter of the owner of the sword gym, has a beautiful appearance and excellent swordsmanship. She has always had a very high popularity in the Yishi Sword Gym, and is the dream lover of countless apprentices in the gym.

In fact, there are also many apprentices from the Isshiki Sword Academy pursuing Isshika, but so far no suitor has been favored by Isshika.

Facing all the apprentices who came up and praised her, Isshiki only smiled politely, and then said some polite words.

Rushui looked suspiciously at her daughter who suddenly put on makeup.

As for Naoki, he is looking at Isshika not far away with a complicated expression, with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Okay, since everyone is here, let's go." Zhi Zhou said softly, "Don't be late, and don't make that distinguished guest whom I finally invited wait for us for too long."

In order not to make a farce of "being late without knowing the way", when wandering around Osaka with A-cho and Azuki yesterday, Ogata stopped by the Quanbingkan once and confirmed that Quanbing The location of the museum.

Ogata followed his memory and headed straight for the Quanbingkan, and soon the imposing gate of the Quanbingguan appeared within his field of vision.

The "Great Trial" is only allowed to be watched by relevant people of the Swords Hall.

Since it was not allowed for unrelated people to watch, the All Swords Pavilion did not publicize their feast to the outside world.

Therefore, not many people know that there will be an annual "big test match" in Quanbingkan today.

At this time, there were not many people gathered outside the gate of the Quanbingguan.Only people in twos and threes would stop for a moment, stretch their necks to look into the sword hall, and after finding nothing to see, they retracted their necks and continued to do what they should do.

Standing at the gate of the Quanbingguan are 4 young men with very good looks.

Ogata thought that these four people were probably responsible for standing at the gate and receiving all visitors, so he walked quickly towards the four people, and then asked them:

"Have the people from One Color Sword Gym come?"

These four youths looked at Ogata with doubts and vigilance.

A young man who looked very honest said directly: "The people of Yishi Sword Gym are still in the future."

"I'm sorry to bother you." Ogata politely bowed to the four people, then walked to the gate of the sword hall, hid in the shade of a tree, and waited for the arrival of Isshiki Naoshu and others.

If you arrived at the Quanbing Hall ahead of schedule on the day of the "Great Trial", please wait outside the hall for a while, and I will take you into the arena when I arrive with my people from the One Color Sword Hall These were the original words that Naoshu had said to Ogata after he had successfully invited him.

According to Naojou, their "big test match" adopted extremely strict rules of entry and exit.

It is allowed to invite VIPs to watch the trial match, but the VIPs must be led into the hall by a sufficient number of people from each sword hall.

They rely on this strict regulation to prevent unrelated people from sneaking in.

In other words, Ogata, who is currently alone without Naoshu and the others' leadership, can't enter the museum at all.

Since Zhizhou and the others are not coming yet, Oobi followed Zhizhou's previous instructions and stood quietly by the gate of the pavilion, waiting for Zhizhou and the others to arrive.

By the way, it seems to be the time when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom.

Ogata raised the edge of the bamboo hat slightly, and looked up at the blue sky above his head.

It has been so long since the Edo period that I have never seen a sea of ​​cherry blossoms in full bloom.

It is now mid-April, and Ogata suddenly remembered that it is the time when cherry blossoms are in full bloom all over Japan.

Thinking of cherry blossoms, Xu Fang thought that it had been nearly 2 years since he crossed. Although he had seen cherry blossoms in the past 2 years, he had never seen the kind of endless cherry blossom sea.

It is Ogata's greatest hobby to watch all kinds of wonders that he has never seen before.

Let's see if there is a chance later, and take A-machi to see the sea of ​​cherry blossoms together

"Hey you!"

Just when Ogata was thinking wildly to pass the time, a loud shout from his side interrupted his thoughts.
