I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

　　 But only one person's expression is different from the other people's expressions.

　　 This person is Hanbei.

Although Hanbei was not like his disciples, rushed directly to surround Ogata, but stood silently aside, feeling gratified for Ogata's smooth return, while quietly listening to Ogata's brief description of his day Feat.

　　 After learning that Ogata had defeated the 12 disciples of Ishikawa Kenkan and stepped back, the emotion that appeared on Hanbei's face was very complicated.

　　What dominates this complex emotion is the color of shock.

　　 and...a strange feeling that is unspeakable and meaningful.

　　Hanbei used this mixed gaze with some strange feelings in shock, and silently stared at Ogata, who is now the star Pengyue.

　　 If you want to say who is the leader of the Hirose clan, it is undoubtedly the lord of the Hirose clan-Matsudaira Genouchi.

　　 You go to the street and ask a hundred people, and all of them will definitely answer that way.

But if you want to say that you are the second-in-command of the Hirose clan, you go to the streets and ask a hundred people, and these 100 people will definitely give a unified answer: the second-in-command of the Hirose clan is the elder of the family-Kuranaga Sae door.

　　 Hirose Clan currently has a tyrannical monarch such as Matsuhira Genouchi who does not care about political affairs. It stands to reason that the Hirose Clan should have collapsed long ago, and there are riots and uprisings everywhere.

　　 But until now, the Hirose clan has maintained general stability, and there has been no major turmoil.

　　The reason for this is all thanks to the abilities of the elder of the Hirose clan, the 54-year-old Kuranagazaemon.

　　 The so-called family elder is the highest-ranking official position among the vassals and can be regarded as the chief steward of each vassal.

　　 The chief steward who assists the lord in handling political affairs.

　　 And Kuranaga, the housekeeper, can be described as hardworking and dedicated.

　　Matsuhira Genuchi went around messing around. It was Kuranaga who managed to barely maintain the stability of the entire feudal clan with his own power.

　　 And reading a book every night is one of the few recreational activities that Kuranaga takes all day long.

　　 Even after working all day and physically exhausted, Kuranaga still reads before going to bed.

　　 Besides being an outstanding politician, Kuranaga was also an outstanding Sinologist and was well versed in Sinology.

　　The most commonly read books are all kinds of Chinese books.

　　 It is later than today-Kuranaga is reading a manuscript of "The Analects".

　　 When Kurunaga is studying, he least likes people making noise around.

　　 So every night when reading, Kurunaga would shut himself in the room and read alone in this quiet environment.

　　 In Kuranaga's room, only the sound of Kuranaga's own breathing and the sound of "swishes" turning the pages of the book.

　　 However-at this moment, a sound from the top of the ceiling broke the silence of the room.

　　 "Master Kuranaga."

　　 After this sudden sound from the ceiling of the ceiling sounded, Kuranaga did not feel panicked, nor was he shocked.

　　 looks accustomed to it.

　　 Kuran never stopped turning the pages of the book, and while continuing to turn the pages, he said in a calm tone that is neither salty nor indifferent:

　　 "It's Flying Ape, what's the matter?"

As soon as Kuranaga's voice fell, a certain board of the ceiling was removed, and then a short man wearing black clothes all over his body jumped through this hole in the ceiling, and then stood neatly on the tatami.

　　 The place where this short man rests is behind Kuranaga.

　　 The moment after landing, the short man knelt on one knee quickly.

　　 This short man is the ninja of Kurunaga-Flying Monkey.

　　 Flying Monkey was born in Shiranui Village.

　　 For ordinary civilians, Shiranui Ninja Village may be an unfamiliar term.

　　 But for a high-ranking person like Kuranaga, the name of Shiraniura Village can be said to be thunderous.

　　 Shiranui Ninja Village-the largest ninja power in Japan, best at training ninjas who are good at assassination and combat.

　　 At the same time, only the ninja who is best at assassination and combat can gain a high position in Shiranui Ninja Village.

　　Ninjas who are not good at fighting will suffer discrimination among Shiranui ninjas.

　　 And flying ape happens to be the kind of person who is not good at assassination and fighting.

　　Because he couldn't bear this kind of discrimination, the flying monkey escaped from Shiranui Village and wandered to the Hirose clan in the Izumo area. By chance, he occasionally ran into Kuranaga.

　　 Although flying ape is not good at assassination and fighting, he is quite good at sneaking and gathering intelligence. .

　　 He was also appreciated by Kuranaga.

　　 Kuranaga, who admired the flying ape’s infiltration ability, took the flying ape for his own use, letting him act as his own ninja, and was specifically responsible for helping Kuranaga inquire about various information in the domain.

　　 When Kuranaga did not arrange a specific job for the flying ape, the flying ape would wander around in the domain, collecting various useful or interesting information, and then reporting it to Kuranaga that night.

　　 "Flying Ape." Kuranaga's gaze still did not leave the "Analects" in his hand. "Are there any interesting or noteworthy things in the domain today?"

　　 "Master." The corner of Feiyuan's mouth curled up, "There really is something worth noting today."

　　 "What's the matter?"

　　 "A group of disciples from Ishikawa Sword Museum made trouble at the Sakihara Sword Museum~www.ltnovel.com~ not only forcibly broke into the Sakihara Sword Museum, but also injured many people in the Sakihara Sword Museum."

　　 "Huh?" Kuranaga's gaze still did not leave the "Analects" in his hand, "Is the relationship between Ishikawa Sword Museum and Sakihara Sword Museum so bad that they started to come to each other to make trouble..."

　　 "No, the lord. The reason why the people at Ishikawa Sword Museum go to Sakura Sword Museum to make trouble today is to find a disciple of Sakura Sword Museum, Ogata Ishi."

　　 "Because Ogata Ishi was not in the sword hall at that time, and the communication between the two sides had problems again, it deteriorated into a mutual fight."

　　 "Ogata Itase..." Kuranaga chewed the name.

　　 searched in his mind, but didn't think of this person, so Kuragara classified this person as a small character that he didn't care about.

　　 "What then? This kind of short chores among parents is what you call the noteworthy thing?" Kuranaga's tone was a little unhappy.

　　 "Lord, please listen and finish. The really noteworthy things are later."

　　 "After making trouble at the Ishikawa Sword Museum at the Sakihara Sword Museum, and wounding many people in the Sakihara Sword Museum, the Ogata Yishi returned."

　　 "That Ogata Ishi saw that his senior brothers were bullied by the people of the Ishikawa Sword Museum, and without a word, went straight to the Ishikawa Sword Museum."

　　 "With one person, challenge all the disciples of Ishikawa Sword Museum."

　　 "Finally, after successfully defeating the 12 disciples of Ishikawa Sword Museum, he retreated all over. There was no injury on his body."

"A person?"

　　 "Yes, ready party went to the Ishikawa Sword Hall alone."

　　 Kuranaga's pupils shrank suddenly.

　　 And his gaze also left the "Analects" in his hand for the first time tonight.
