Chapter 363: The head of the four kings, the next Flame Demon: Shuntaro [4800 words]
"Minimize the use of the 'No Self Two Swordsman Style'?" Ogao looked puzzled, "Why?"
Lin let out a small sigh.
"It's a long story..."
…
…
…
…
The "Oran Road" has not yet begun, when Rin and Genichi are still staying in the Shirobei club.
Edo, Yoshiwara, Shirobei Club.
"All my uncle's enemies are gathering in Edo?" Lin raised her eyebrows suddenly, "What do you mean by this? Why are my uncle's enemies gathering in Edo?"
"Miss Kinoshita..."
"You are my elder and my great uncle's friend, so you can just call me Xiaolin."
"So Xiaolin." Shirobei changed his title, "Do you know about the 'Gozen Trial Match'?"
"I've heard of it. But I don't know much about the details."
"To put it simply, for some reasons, the shogunate decided to hold a large-scale trial union in 10 days."
"This trial is divided into two parts: a literary test and a martial arts test. Only those who pass the literary test can take part in the martial arts test."
"This 'imperial trial' has attracted many martial arts enthusiasts who are eager to compete with masters."
“Attracts money-strapped people looking for big bonuses.”
"At the same time... it also attracted many enemies of Lord Kinoshita."
Hearing Shirobei's words, the look of doubt on Lin's face became even heavier.
"Is there any connection between the shogunate's 'imperial trial' and uncle's enemies gathering in Edo?" Lin asked with a frown.
"Xiao Lin, do you know what kind of person Kinoshita Genichi was when he was young?"
"...I know a little bit about it." Lin shook her head gently, "I don't think I know much about my uncle's past."
"When Genichi was young... to use an idiom to describe... he was as good as a thousand."
"Whether it's ability, courage, or love for swordsmanship."
"Indulging in swordsmanship, just swinging the sword vigorously, and never letting go of any competition with the masters. This is Genichi in his youth."
"In any situation related to competition, you can always see Kinoshita Genichi."
"Competing with masters from all walks of life one after another, Yuan Yi's swordsmanship improved rapidly in this competition."
"However, while defeating masters from all walks of life and making rapid progress in swordsmanship, Yuan Yi inevitably made more and more enemies."
"After all, not every competition is a friendly discussion without the purpose of killing the opponent."
"Yuan Yi has fought countless life-and-death fights."
"I don't think even Yuan Yi can remember how many fights he has fought to death."
"Many of the masters who died under Yuan Yi's sword had families and many apprentices."
"Even though these hatreds may be old scores from decades ago, for these people, the hatred of parricide and master murder cannot be washed away by time."
"Xiao Lin, think about it, suppose you have an enemy, and this enemy loves swordsmanship very much and loves to compete with masters."
"And now there is a large-scale trial union held in Edo. There will definitely be many people who come to Edo for money or other reasons to participate in this trial union."
"If it were you, what would you think?"
Hearing this, the doubtful look on Lin's face finally disappeared.
"...I see." Lin said solemnly, "So...these enemies of my uncle are all betting that he will rush to Edo to compete with the masters and to participate in this 'imperial trial'."
"That's right." Shirobei showed a faint smile, but there was a bit of bitterness in his smile, "To a certain extent, these people who come to seek revenge from Genichi are really hateful.
It’s very deep.”
"Even though I knew that Genichi might not know about this 'Gozen Trial Match', I still came all the way to Edo just to bet on this possibility."
"And they really got it right."
"Although Genichi came to Edo not to participate in the 'Gozen Trials', but for other reasons."
"In fact, many of Genichi's enemies have already taken action and began searching for Genichi everywhere in Edo."
"These enemies of Yuan Yi also know Yuan Yi very well. They know that Yuan Yi is not only a person obsessed with swords, but also a person who is very interested in romantic places."
"In fact, seven different groups of people have come to Yoshiwara in search of Source One these days."
"It was also because these people came to Yoshiwara to look for Genichi that I learned that so many of Genichi's enemies had come to Edo."
As soon as Shirobei finished speaking, Genichi let out a few low laughs:
"These people really think highly of me... I am 64 years old now, how can I still be as energetic as before?"
"In short," Shirobei said seriously, "God knows how many of Genichi's enemies have arrived in Edo."
"So, Genichi, if you don't want to get into unnecessary trouble, it's better to be cautious in Edo from now on."
"No wonder I met that guy when I entered Edo last evening." Genichi raised his hand to scratch his hair and said in a casual tone.
"That guy?" Lin asked doubtfully, "Which guy."
"When we entered Edo yesterday evening and were looking for a hotel, I met a familiar face." Genichi said in a calm tone, "If I remember correctly... the guy's surname seems to be Nagano."
"I have a deep impression on that guy. Like me, that guy is also obsessed with swordsmanship."
"It's just that I forgot when I competed with him."
"I just remember I only fought him once."
"After I knocked his sword away with one move, I never saw him again."
"I didn't expect he was still alive."
"Hahaha."
Yuan Yi let out a few soft laughs.
"He must be like my other enemies. He thought I might come to participate in the 'Gozen Trials', so he came to Edo specifically to block my way..."
"You've already encountered this kind of thing, but you can still laugh, Genichi..." Shirobei smiled helplessly, "Although your hair has turned white, you are still the same as when you were young..."
"...Sir Shirobei." Lin, who had always been sitting upright, leaned over and bowed respectfully to Shirobei in front of her, "Thank you for your information. This information of yours is very important to us."
"You're welcome." Shirobei waved his hand, "It's just a small matter, there is no need to thank me so solemnly."
After thanking Shirobei, Lin twitched the corner of her mouth and let out a low groan of displeasure.
"Something unexpected happened..." Lin muttered in a low voice, "It's really troublesome..."
"...Genichi, Xiaolin." Shirobei looked straight at Genichi and Lin in front of him for a while and then said in a deep voice, "I don't know why you are looking for a base in Shiranui."
"I won't ask any more questions."
"But I need to remind you of one more thing."
"What you are stepping on is the soil of Edo."
"It is the soil at the center of the rule of the general who conquered the barbarians."
"Although the current Tokugawa family is no longer the Tokugawa family that had the absolute force and financial resources to unify the world two hundred years ago."
"But its remaining power cannot be underestimated."
"At the feet of the general, no matter what you plan to do, you must remember to be careful. This is the last thing I want to remind you."
"...Shirobei-sama, thank you for the reminder." Lin responded softly in a very light tone.

Timeline returns to present
The hotel where Edo, Ogata and others lived.
"...Anyway, that's what happened."
Lin briefly explained how she and Genichi learned the important information related to Genichi through Shirobei's mouth.
After listening to Lin's explanation, Ogata nodded gently:
"So this is ah……"
"We still don't know exactly how many of Uncle Uncle's enemies have arrived in Edo." Lin said solemnly, "But no matter how many there are, it is always right to be cautious."
"So Ogata Ittousai, you and I, in the next period of time, try to reduce the number of times you show the 'Musoku Two-sword Style' in front of outsiders."
"The 'No Self Two Sword Style' is a brand new style created by Bo Gong."
"I think my uncle's enemies will remember every move and style of the 'Wuwo Swordsman style' forever."
"As long as the two of us use the 'No Self Two Swordsman Style' move, and if there happen to be Uncle Uncle's enemies present at the time, they will probably recognize on the spot that the swordsmanship style we are using is the 'No Self Two Swordsman Style'."
"By then, a dispute is inevitable."
"If we have a conflict with Uncle Uncle's enemies at this time, it will only disrupt our own pace and plans. It will do no harm but no good."
"It's better for us to try our best to avoid such disputes that are of no benefit."
Speaking of this, Lin turned her head and looked at Yuanyi beside her.
"Uncle, you have to live in seclusion during this period of time. Try not to show your face outside again."
"If you meet an enemy, just kill him." Yuan Yi smiled and said in a casual tone.
"Didn't you hear what I just said?" Lin said angrily, "We must try our best to avoid such avoidable disputes and conflicts."
"I understand." Ogata interjected at this time, "I will try my best to avoid using the 'Muwo-dou-ryu' in front of outsiders in the future."
After hearing Ogata's words, Makimura, who was sitting next to Ogata, asked Ogata in a somewhat worried tone:
"Brother Ogata, are you still planning to sneak into the Shirobei club when you can't use the 'Musuga-dou-ryu' as you wish?"
"What does it matter?" Ogata smiled and shrugged, "Instead of the 'Muga Two Sword Style', I still have the 'Sakakihara One Sword Style'."
"My 'Sakakibara Itto-ryu' is just a little-known and unpopular swordsmanship that only circulates in the Hirose Domain of Izumo."
"The world only knows that the swordsmanship used by 'Executioner Ittosai' is a type of swordsmanship called 'Sakakibara Itto-ryu'."
"But I don't know what the 'Sakakibara Itto-ryu' is like."
"So there is no need to worry that if I use the 'Sakakibara Itto-ryu' here in Edo, people will recognize me as the 'Executioner Ittosai'."
After saying that, Ogata silently added in his heart:
And I just "try to avoid using the Selfless Two-Sword Style in front of outsiders", but it's not "never use the Selfless Two-Sword Style"...
"...Ogata Ittosai." Lin said seriously at this time, "Have you decided to sneak into the Shirobei club yourself?"
"Yes." Ogata nodded seriously, "That's right."
"...I understand." Lin nodded, "Then I'll trouble you."
"It's just a trivial matter not worth mentioning." Ogata smiled.

at the same time
Edo, Yoshiwara, Umeya.
There are currently 8 "Omise"-level yūnyōya in Yoshiwara.
As one of the eight "Omise"-level yuya-ya, Mitameya is now undoubtedly the "top of yuya-ya" and the number one yuya-ya in Yoshiwara.
If you say what the reason is, it's not complicated.
Yoshiwara's only current oiran, Fubell Taifu, belongs to Mimeiya.
Thanks to Fu Chi Taifu, Umeya's status in Yoshiwara has also increased.
At this moment, candlelight flickered in Mrs. Feng Chime's room.
The room of the Wind Chime Master is very large, and four tall floor-standing candlesticks are placed in the four corners of the room to barely illuminate the spacious room.
Mrs. Feng Chime, who had just returned to Meiwu from Yangwu, was taking out the headdresses on her head and changing out of the heavy clothes with the help of her two bald men.
After taking out all the headdresses and buns on his head, Taifu Fengchi's green hair, which had been styled into a beautiful and neat bun, immediately spread out and draped behind Taifu Fengchime.
After changing into an ordinary light red kimono, Fubell Taifu smiled at her two bald men and said in a gentle tone:
"Aji, Aye. You two go down and rest first."
"Tafu, your makeup..." one of them said hesitantly.
"I can do this kind of thing by myself, like removing makeup."
"You two must be tired tonight, so go down and have a rest."
"Yes"*2
Seeing that the Wind Chime Taifu insisted on asking them to go down to rest first, the two bald men, whom the Wind Chime Taifu called "Aji" and "Aye", no longer argued with the Wind Chime Taifu.
After shouting in unison, they slowly walked out of Mr. Feng Chime's room one after the other.
As the two men left, Mr. Feng Chime was the only one left in the room.
Holding the hem of his kimono, Fu Chi Taifu walked slowly to a table with a mirror in the room, and then sat down in front of the table.
Even though there were no outsiders around, Feng Chime Taifu's every move was still elegant.
Mr. Feng Chime picked up a small clean handkerchief on the desk and wiped off the makeup on his face bit by bit in front of the mirror.
The sound of the wind, the sound of burning candles, and the sound of the Wind Chime Master removing makeup from his face were all the sounds in this room.
Light, shadow, and a beautiful woman removing makeup in front of the mirror are the three most conspicuous scenes in this room.
call!
However, at this moment, a strange and unnatural wind suddenly blew in the room.
Blown by the wind, the candles placed in the four corners of the room swayed, and the shadows drawn by the candlelight also swayed along with them.
There was no reaction for the wind chime that suddenly blew into the room.
He looked like he was used to it and continued to take off the makeup on his face.
"A Chang, I heard that someone ordered you tonight."
It's a man's voice.
A man's voice suddenly sounded somewhere in the room.
But for this male voice that suddenly sounded from somewhere in the room, Feng Chime Taifu still looked calm and did not show any panic.
"Yes, the person who ordered me tonight is a silk merchant named Manzaburo."
"I've heard of his name before. It's said that that guy has opened silk and satin shops all over Kanto. He's very rich."
"It's a pity that people are average-looking."
"It seems that handsome and rich people really only exist in the mouths of storytellers."
At this moment, Mrs. Feng Chime just wiped off all the makeup on her face.
After putting down the handkerchief he was using to remove makeup, Mr. Feng Chi turned his knees on the tatami towards the window not far away.
And this direction happens to be the direction from which the male voice just came.
"Every time you come to see me, do you have to sneak in through the window like this?" Mr. Feng Chime said in a helpless tone.
"How else can I get in other than crawling through the window?"
The owner of this male voice is a young man with a tall and straight body and handsome appearance.
This young man was wearing an ordinary dark blue kimono, sitting cross-legged under the window with an expressionless expression.
"A Chang, you look very tired."
"Of course." Mr. Feng Ling Taifu said angrily, "Do you know how tiring it is to walk from Jianmeiwu to Yangwu, and then from Yangwu to Jianmeiwu using that exhausting 'gaibamoji step'?
ah?"
Speaking of this, Mr. Feng Chime paused, turned his gaze and looked at the young man's face seriously for a while, and then said:
"Isn't it the same for you? It seems to me that you are also very tired."
"Well...yes, Enma suddenly held an emergency meeting tonight."
"Emergency meeting? What is this meeting about?"
"I didn't say much. I just reiterated the cliché that we should be careful in our words and deeds in Edo now and not conflict with officials. I hate this kind of boring meeting the most."
"And I have to attend this kind of meeting...it's really troublesome."
"Who told you that you are now the leader of the 'Four Heavenly Kings' in Shiranui and the next 'Enma' Shuntaro." Taifu Fuzuzu said in a joking tone, "Your status means that you cannot miss any scene in Shiranui.
Meeting."
"It's really troublesome..." The young man, Shuntaro, let out a small sigh.

I know that there are many old porn readers among the readers of my book, so I will share a few more stills here.
By the way, I am also promoting these two dramas. I know that there will definitely be many old porn fans who will take the trouble to watch the dramas after seeing these pictures.
This is Taifu Hakumo from the Japanese drama "Yoshiwara Toshin" →
This is Miyuki Taio from the Japanese drama "Shinsengumi!" (because it is an old drama from 2004, so the picture quality is poor) →
This is a photo of Taifu Miyuki without makeup→
By the way, let me show you Okita Souji's sister in the Japanese drama "Shinsengumi!". The one on the right in the picture is Okita Souji's sister, and the one on the left is Kondo Isamu (facts have also proved that as long as you are handsome, you can have a Tsukiyo head)
Very handsome)→
Sure enough, as long as a person is good-looking, no matter what kind of hairstyle or makeup, they can hold their own.
