Chapter 409 Ogata's second new move: Shui Luo Erlian [9200 words]
The six diners Kondo and Nagano walked to an open space a little away from the izakaya.
This open space is located in a quite remote and inconspicuous location, and no passers-by pass by this open space.
"Kondo." One of the six diners put his hand on the saber on his waist, "You should also know why we came to find you, right?"
"...Besides seeking revenge from me, what else can you do for?"
"It's good that you know. You were so despicable today that you threw sand directly into Mr. Nagano's face! Although Mr. Nagano wasn't hurt at all, we really can't get rid of our anger without giving you a good beating.
!”
As soon as the words were spoken, the six people took out the knives from their waists, then turned the blade and pointed the back of the knife towards Kondo.
"We won't kill you, we will just beat you up. So as long as you are willing to stand there and let us beat you with the back of the knife, then you and I will save trouble, and we will make you suffer less."
The skin and flesh are bitter.”
"Only a fool would not resist!" Kondo shouted angrily as he drew out the sword from his waist, then like these six people, turned the blade around and faced the enemy with the back of the sword.
Both sides used the back of the sword tacitly.
Both Kondo and these six people had a tacit understanding of the same idea: no killing in Edo.
After all, killing people in Edo was no joke.
Six diners formed a semicircle and slowly surrounded Kondo.
Kondo carefully observed the semicircular formation formed by these six people, gritted his teeth, and then rushed towards the person standing at the end of the formation.
Kondo plans to defeat these 6 people one by one.
His calculations were very loud.
But his strength does not match his plan.
The plan he drew up in his mind was to move around and attack at the same time, hitting one at a time and knocking down all six of them in one blow.
However... Kondo had just swung a powerful and heavy slash at the man standing at the end of the formation, and his slash was firmly caught by this man.
The moment Kondo's knife was caught by "diner 1", "diner 2" standing next to him immediately aimed a horizontal slash at Kondo's flank with quick eyesight and quick hands.
Kondo, who had never fought in such a "one versus many" battle, became confused when he saw "Dinner 2" next to him slashing at him with a knife.
He hurriedly jumped back to avoid the horizontal slash of "Dinner 2".
It's just that... although he successfully escaped the attack of "Dinner 2", he jumped into the attack range of "Dinner 3"...
Kondo was like a puppy jumping in a hot pot, jumping around hurriedly to avoid the slashes of these six people one after another.
Kondo's lack of experience in fighting against multiple enemies was clearly demonstrated at this time.
How to avoid attacks from different directions, who is the best target, and when is the best time to launch a counterattack... Regarding these issues, Kondo is completely confused...
Kondo also realized that if he continued like this, he would lose.
So he planned to use his secret skill again...
Jumping to the right, he jumped in front of "Dinner 5". "Dinner 5" immediately looked like he was playing whack-a-mole and saw a mole jumping out of the hole. He raised the knife in his hand and slashed at Kondo.
go.
This time, Kondo didn't hide.
Instead, with lightning speed, he put his left hand into the sand contained in his homemade trouser pocket, and then threw it at "Dinner 5"'s face.
"Dinner 5" raised his left hand just in time to block the handful of sand.
Then he swung the knife in his right hand and drew it toward Kondo's left thigh.
The hard back of the knife hit Kondo's thigh firmly, who was stunned for a moment due to the failure of "Ogata-ryu" and had no time to escape.
"Ahhh!"
After letting out a low scream, Kondo jumped away on one foot to distance himself from "Diner 5".
"The same trick will have no effect if used too many times. Diner 5" said while patting the remaining dust on his left hand, "We have been paying attention to this trick of yours. As long as we know in advance that you have this trick,
Then your move is no threat to us."
Kondo put down his left hand and touched the thigh that had just been struck by the back of the knife.
It hurts a little, but the bones should be fine. After all, the opponent only used the back of the knife, and the thigh is the most fleshy part.
"Dinner 5": "We have just said that we will not kill you, we will only give you a good beating and teach you a lesson. So just give up your resistance. We will let you go after we let you suffer some physical pain."
"
"As I said, only fools will not resist and let you beat them up." Although Kondo's response showed no sign of weakness.
"Then there's nothing we can do. Diner 5" clenched the knife in his hand again, "Then let's continue beating and see how long you can hold on."
The six diners rearranged themselves into a semicircular formation and surrounded Kondo.
Looking at the six people who had rearranged themselves into a semicircular formation, the look on Kondo's face gradually became heavy.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Kondo had to face the reality that he didn't have the ability to deal with 6 samurai at the same time who all had high attainments in swordsmanship.
When Kondo was racking his brains, thinking of ways to defeat the enemy,
"I'm sorry. Can you guys let that fool go?"
A male voice suddenly sounded from the entrance and exit of this open space.
The six diners and Kondo followed the sound toward the entrance and exit of the open space.
Kondo and the six people showed different expressions.
After hearing this sound, the expressions on the faces of the six diners were just confusion.
After Kondo heard this voice, he was slightly startled.
Then he showed an expression that was half shocked and half ecstatic.
Kondo immediately recognized that this was the voice of someone extremely important to him.
However... when Kondo looked at the source of the sound with ecstasy and shock, he did not see that familiar face.
All he saw was a face with ordinary features that he had never seen before.
Kondo's expression immediately froze.
…
…
After successfully attracting everyone's attention to himself, Ogata quickly walked into the open space and came to Kondo's side.
"Teacher..." As soon as Ogata came to Kondo's side, Kondo opened his mouth impatiently, planning to say something.
However, Ogata raised his hands one step ahead and pinched the cheeks on both sides of his face, making Kondo unable to speak.
While stopping Kondo from speaking, he signaled Kondo with his eyes: Don’t ask any more questions.
Although Kondo has a simple and honest personality, he is not a stupid person.
Kondo, who instantly understood the meaning of Ogata's eyes, obediently swallowed the words that came to his mouth, and temporarily suppressed all the questions in his heart.
"...Mashima-sama, I have admired you for a long time."
"Dinner 2" slowly put down the wooden knife in his hand, changed into a much gentler tone, and used honorifics.
"Your trial today is an eye-opener for both Mr. Nagano and us."
"Oh?" Ogata raised his eyebrows, "Did you pay attention to my trial fit today?"
"Of course. Diner 2" said in a slightly more excited tone, "I wonder if you have forgotten that Master Nagano once invited you to be a diner at the dojo."
Ogata nodded: "I haven't forgotten."
On the first day Ogata came to work in Yoshiwara, he met a troublesome heir of the Hohoin style spear art.
When Ogata defeated the troublemaker beautifully, Nagano was leading his six diners to watch the battle on the second floor of a tea house not far away.
Nagano, who was fascinated by Ogata's swordsmanship, extended an invitation to Ogata to be a guest at his dojo, but Ogata naturally refused.
It was also at that time that Ogata met Nagano.
"Sir Nagano has always expressed deep regret for not being able to invite you as a guest."
"I have been quietly following your news since then."
"After learning that you won the first place in the literary test and that you had single-handedly repelled 25 officials of the Huofu Thief Kai, Mr. Nagano admired you even more."
"After hearing your name from the 'Boundary' this morning, Mr. Nagano immediately couldn't wait to take us to watch the battle."
"Both Mr. Nagano and we all admire the horizontal slash you made today."
"Thank you." Ogata smiled slightly and said modestly, "Speaking of which, I still don't know what the relationship between you guys is with Nagano...are you master and disciple?"
"No." This time "diners 4" answered, "We are Lord Nagano's diners. But we can also be regarded as half of Lord Nagano's apprentices."
"Mashima-sama, although we admire you very much, we still have to ask you a question. Diner 2"'s tone is still respectful, but there is also a lot of seriousness in the respectful tone, "I dare to ask you and this
What’s the relationship between guys?”
The "diner 2" he refers to is, of course, Kondo.
"...We can be considered friends." Ogata sighed softly.
"...Mashima-sama. Diner 2" frowned slightly, "We have no enmity with you. You are a person who is admired by Nagano-sama, and we also admire your swordsmanship, so we don't want to argue with you.
enemy."
"We also understand your desire to protect your friends."
"But you may not know what your friends did today..."
"I know." Ogata sighed again and interrupted "Dinner 2", "I can also understand how you want to teach this guy a lesson."
"Then can you please retreat for a moment? Diner 2" said in a deep voice, "We promise you that we will only make this guy suffer some physical pain and will not do anything to him."
Ogata glanced at the six diners in front of him with complicated eyes.
Then he slowly put down the hand that had been pinching Kondo's cheeks just now.
"How about this?" Ogata said seriously, "I will be your opponent."
"If you can defeat me, I will no longer have anything to do with you and this guy."
"But if I can defeat you, you can treat today as nothing happened."
"how?"
Ogata's words made Kondo and all six diners look stunned.
"...Mashima-sama. Diner 2" opened his eyes wide, "You mean...you want to deal with 6 of us at the same time?"
"I have quite a bit of experience in fighting one against many." Ogata said this and paused.
Then he changed his tone with a hint of smile:
"There are not many opportunities to compete with me."
Ogata's words were like the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Originally, when Ogata said he wanted to fight them for Kondo, they showed expectant and excited expressions.
After hearing what Ogata said just now, the look of anticipation and excitement on their faces intensified at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Ogata has been paying attention to the faces of these six people.
Looking at the obvious changes in their expressions, a smile mixed with helplessness appeared on Ogata's face.
They are indeed all "fighting faction"...
Ogata is not good at verbal disputes.
In order to avoid this weakness of his, Ogata temporarily came up with the trick of "fighting them for Kondo".
Ogata had noticed just now: after these six people noticed that it was him "Mashima Goro" who appeared, their eyes shone with respect and excitement.
So Xufang made a guess: They might be the kind of "martial arts faction" who are keen on competing with masters.
So Ogata took the gamble with the mentality of giving it a try.
Now it seems that Ogata made the right bet.
"Dinner 2", who only had the excitement of "being able to compete with the masters" in his mind, shouted for the others without much hesitation:
"Okay! Then please give me some advice, Majima-sama!"
After the words fell, these six people all raised the knives in their hands.
Ogata took out his cuff ties and tightened the sleeves on both sides of his clothes in just a few seconds.
While slowly pulling out the Daishiten from his waist, Ogata whispered in a low voice that only he and Kondo could hear:
"look carefully."
This is a very short sentence.
After hearing Ogata's words, Kondo was stunned for a moment, and then nodded vigorously.
Ogata used both hands to hold onto Daisakuten, who was facing the enemy with the back of his sword.
"Furumaki Ittōryu, Majima Goro, please join us."
The complex emotions of the six diners, composed of excitement, anticipation, and nervousness, reached their peak at this time.
They don't want to miss this rare opportunity to compete with the masters.
As Ogata's words fell, the six people shouted at the same time with great tacit understanding, raised the swords in their hands and rushed towards Ogata.
Facing these six people running from six directions, Ogata didn't panic or get confused.
After glancing at the positions of the six people, Ouri slipped his feet and rushed towards "diner 3" who was farthest away from the others.
Ogata's speed was as fast as flying close to the ground.
The 12-point agility value comes into full play at this time.
After "flying" behind "Dinner 3", Ogata stabbed "Dinner 3" directly on the shoulder.
The speed of the sword is as fast as Ogata's movement speed, making people stunned.
[Ding! Use Sakakibara's Ichidou Style·Shui Fall to defeat the enemy]
[Earn 80 personal experience points and 70 swordsmanship "Sakakibara Itto-ryu" experience points]
[Current personal level: lv10 (3110/5000]
[Sakakihara Itto-ryu Level: 6th Dan (5965/7000)]
The system beep sounded, announcing the defeat of "Diner 3".
If it weren't for the back of the knife, at least half of "Diner 3"'s shoulder would have fallen off.
Although he looked regretful and unwilling, the defeated "Dinner 3" still held his knife obediently and withdrew from the "battlefield".
Ogata's feet never stopped since he rushed into the enemy's formation.
It only takes a moment to knock down an enemy with a swing of your sword.
After this moment passes, Omoto will quickly escape from the spot and run to a safe place, or directly run in front of the next enemy.
Kondo obediently followed Ogata's instructions just now, eyes widening and looking carefully.
The more I looked at it, the more frightened I became.
This is actually the first time Kondo has witnessed Ogata's heroic appearance against many.
If Kondo was asked to use one word to describe Ogata's battle with these six diners at this time, Kondo could only come up with one word: pleasing to the eye.
Ogata's movements were smooth and flowing, moving around among the six people.
He can always move into the optimal position in time, and he can always hit the enemy with the most concise movements.
The sword light swung by Ogata swept towards these six people one after another.
…
[Ding! Use Sakakibara's Ichidou Style·Shui Fall to defeat the enemy]
…
[Ding! Use Sakakibara Itto-ryu·Dragon Tail to defeat the enemy]
…
[Ding! Use Sakakibara Itto-ryu to climb the stairs and defeat the enemy]
…
Although these six people tried their best, they couldn't even touch a single piece of Ogata.
In the blink of an eye, only "Dinner 2" was left that hadn't been hit by Ogata.
Although he was the only one left undefeated, there was no trace of frustration in "Dinner 2"'s eyes.
It would be better to say that the excitement in his eyes became more intense and his mood became even higher.
It has become a one-on-one duel, and Ogata no longer needs to switch his position frequently, turning one-on-one into multiple games of one-on-one.
"Drink ah ah ah!"
"Dinner 2" slashed at Ogata with his knife.
Xu Fang stood aside and dodged the attack, then used Shui Luo to strike at his shoulder.
However, Ogata's attack did not successfully hit "Dinner 2".
His attack was blocked by "Dinner 2".
After the first blow missed, Ogata did not hesitate and swung two more swords in succession.
But these two knives were all blocked.
After seeing his slashes being received one after another, a faint look of surprise appeared on Ogata's face.
After jumping 2 steps back and widening the gap, Ogata asked:
"What style of swordsmanship do you use?"
"The swordsmanship I practice is Honma style! Diner 2" responded in a loud voice.
"Homma-ryu...no wonder."
Ogata had some knowledge of this genre.
The characteristic of this school is "focus on defense".
Be invincible first, then wait for the enemy to be victorious. This is the philosophy followed by this school.
Therefore, the successors of this school often use a common strategy of defense: first, keep defending until the opponent's physical strength is depleted or a flaw is exposed, and then kill the opponent with one blow.
"Since you are using 'Honma style'..."
Ogata slowly raised the sword in his hand and assumed an upper position.
Just give that trick a try.
Looking at Ogata, who was in the upper stance, "Dinner 2"'s eyes narrowed.
He had just experienced Ogata's extremely powerful slash.
He subconsciously thought that Ogata planned to break through his defense with powerful and heavy chops.
After knowing Ogata's intention, "Eater 2" not only did not shrink back, but became even more excited.
After clenching the knife in his hand, he took the initiative and slowly leaned towards Ogata.
Ogata also maintained the posture in the upper stage and slowly faced "Dinner 2".
After the distance between the two is so close that each other's knives can cut each other,
call!
Da Shi Tian cut the air and hit "Dinner 2" like a falling meteor.
"Dinner 2" stared hard and raised his sword to block!
clang!
The two collided hard.
The Great Shakti Sky rose high due to the counter-shock force.
But at this moment, the fingers and wrist of Ogata's hands holding the sword moved slightly.
Da Shitian, who originally bounced up due to the force of the shock, paused momentarily.
Then, he hit "Diner 2" again.
And this knife is much faster and more powerful than the one just now!
Shuiluo·Erlian!
Looking at the knife, which was much faster and more violent than before, "Dinner 2"'s eyes widened in shock.
Although his reaction was still very quick, he raised his sword again in time to block.
But he didn't have enough strength to take Ogata's sword forcefully.
clang!
With the sound of gold and iron clashing, "Dinner 2"'s knife was slashed away by Ogata.
[Ding! Use Sakakibara's Ichidou Style·Shui Fall to defeat the enemy]
[Acquire 120 personal experience points and 180 swordsmanship "Sakakibara Itto-ryu" experience points]
[Current personal level: lv10 (3590/5000]
[Sakakihara Itto-ryu level: 6th Dan (6505/7000)]
The battle with these six people increased Ogata's personal level experience value by 555 points, and Sakakibara's Itto-style experience value increased by 610 points.
"...Thank you for your advice." After the sword was knocked away by Ogata, "Dinner 2" looked surprised and slightly unwilling, but after a moment of silence, he picked up his sword and then bowed to Ogata.
.
The other five people followed closely behind, saluting Ogata and thanking Ogata for his advice.
Ogata nodded, returned the courtesy to them, and said: "I don't take advice seriously. Since I won, I hope you can abide by your previous promises."
"Of course. Diner 2" nodded vigorously, "I have benefited a lot from the competition with you just now. I will not break my promise regardless of emotion or reason."
Having said that, "Diner 2" turned his attention to Kondo.
"Good luck to you, I'll let you go this time."
After saying that, "Dinner 2" waved his hand and led the others slowly away from the sight of Ogata and Kondo.
It wasn't until these six people left that Ogata returned the sword to its sheath.
After putting Da Shiten back into the scabbard, Ogata lowered his head and glanced at the palms of his hands, which still had a slight soreness and numbness.
It seems that this trick still needs practice and getting used to slowly...
The second variation developed by Mizuruo Errenogata is based on the sword skills of Sakakihara's Ittōryu and combined with the techniques taught by Genichi.
Minamoto was very kind to Ogata.
"As long as you accompany me to 'rat hunt', I will give you some guidance as best I can." Yuan Yi has always kept this promise.
From the time they started "rat hunting" to the present, Ogata and the others have only encountered two waves of "rats" in total.
The first wave of "rats" were the remnants of the bandits headed by Hoji. In this battle, Genichi showed Ogata "dodge" for the first time.
The second wave of "rats" were the Yakuza remnants that they encountered the day before yesterday. In this battle with them, Minamoto showed off another skill to Ogata: "Transformation".
"Huali" and "Dodge" are both practical combat techniques developed by Yuan Yi in the past two years by combining the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought.
The so-called "transformation force" simply means that after using the first downward slash on the enemy and being blocked by the enemy, you use special techniques to turn the counter-shock force on the blade into your own power, and then use the second slash.
Cut down.
Because the counter-shock force is turned into one's own strength, the power of the second slash will be much stronger than the first slash.
Theoretically, if the second slash is blocked, the third slash can be followed immediately.
Just like "Dodge" and "Dragon Tail" have the best compatibility, "Hua Li" and "Shui Luo" have very good compatibility.
So Xufang combined "Hua Li" and "Shui Luo" to create a new variation of "Shui Luo·Erlian".
After combining the skill of "Transformation" with "Shui Luo", the power of "Shui Luo" increases instantly.
According to Ogata's estimation, the power of the second sword of "Shuiluo Erlian" is at least 1.5 times that of the first sword.
Since I have just learned the technique of "Transformation" not long ago, using "Second Chain" is the limit of what Ogata can do now.
When Ogata becomes more proficient in the "Transformation Power" technique in the future, he can theoretically use "Waterfall·Three Links" and "Waterfall·Fourth Link"...
After shaking his palms, which still had some soreness and numbness, Ogata turned to look at Kondo beside him.
At this time, Kondo also rushed to Ogata's side.
"Master." Kondo couldn't suppress his inner excitement, "Have you come to Edo too? Why are you here? What's wrong with your face?"
"This is a long story." Ogata said calmly, "I also have quite a few questions that I want to ask you..."
…
…
Edo, Yoshiwara, Guao's house.
"Um……"
Guasheng's back was leaning against a wooden pillar beside the wall of the living room. He had a pair of bare, white and small feet, straightened his waist, and pressed his back tightly against the wooden pillar behind him.
He raised the sword he held in his right hand, put the blade against his scalp, and then made a horizontal cut on the wooden post behind his head.
After making this cut, Guasheng immediately jumped forward impatiently, distanced himself from the wooden pillar, and looked at the cut he had just made on the wooden pillar.
The knife mark made by Gua Sheng once again perfectly coincided with a slender groove on the wooden pillar...
"Still not growing taller..."
Gua Sheng held on to the wooden pillar in front of him with a disappointed look on his face.
"What's going on... I obviously eat well and sleep well every day... Could it be that..."
Guasheng stretched out her two small hands and grabbed her round, very voluptuous buttocks.
"Have all the nutrients come to this place..."
It has become a habit for me to measure my height every few days.
But no matter how Gua Sheng measured her height, there was no change at all...
"I really hope some of the meat here can be given to other places..."
Gua Sheng always felt that his body's development was very strange.
My body never grows taller.
Her breasts are as "unremarkable" as those of most women of the same age.
Only the development of the buttocks is so good that many prostitutes can say "envy".
When Gua Sheng was lying on the ground, her buttocks was like a raised hill.
I don’t know if it’s because Guasheng goes out and about very frequently, so the meat there grows very well.
After muttering in a slightly frustrated tone, Guasheng put the sword in his hand away in the cabinet next to him.
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded outside the mansion's door:
"Little melon is born! Little melon is born!"
"Huh?" Gua Sheng showed a bit of surprise on his face and hurriedly ran to the door of the room.
After opening the door, Guasheng saw a beautiful face.
"What a rare visitor." Gua Sheng said with a smile, "Master, have you sneaked out again?"
"Xiao Guasheng, you said it wrong." The beautiful woman standing in front of Guasheng's room showed a sly smile, "I didn't sneak out, I walked out in a big way after getting permission. Just now
I was wandering around here and saw that the lights in your house were on, Xiao Guasheng, so I decided to come to your place after a long time."
"I can't let you stay here for too long. It's getting dark now, and I have to go to work in a while."
"It's okay, it's okay. I'll just sit here with you until you go to work."
This stunningly beautiful woman who suddenly came to visit is the only oiran in Yoshiwara, the Fubell Taifu.
Although he was holding the "Oiran Road" and receiving guests, Feng Ling Taifu always looked elegant and charming.
But anyone who knows a little bit about Feng Ling Taifu knows that she is a very active and lively person.
Every now and then he would think of walking outside the Meiwu House. Taifu Fengchi's restless personality gave the owner of the Meiwu House a headache.
When Fu Chi Taifu goes out, he will not bring any followers. He will only wander around Yoshiwara alone and sit with people he knows well.
Gua Sheng and Feng Ling Taifu have a good relationship.
It was just a common thing for the doctor to stop by Gua Sheng's house and sit there when he was out and about.
Gua Sheng led the Taifu into the hall of the mansion with ease. After letting the Taifu sit and rest for a while, he quickly ran to the kitchen to prepare tea.
While waiting for the tea, Taifu looked around at the surroundings, which had not changed at all since his last visit.
Still so clean.
There is still a portrait of "The Executioner Ittosai" Ogata Issei on a certain wall.
Looking at the portrait on the wall, the doctor raised his eyebrows.
Because she noticed that this portrait seemed a little different from the one she saw last time.
"Master, I've been waiting for a long time."
Guasheng returned to the living room with two cups of steaming tea.
"Xiao Guasheng." The husband raised his hand and pointed at the portrait on the wall, "Did you get a new portrait?"
"Oh, I was discovered by you." Gua Sheng smiled "Hehe", "I found a new wanted notice a few days ago, and the picture of Mr. Ogata on that wanted notice is more beautiful, so I
I replaced the one that was originally posted on the wall with a better-looking one."
"You really like 'The Executioner Ittosai'..." The husband picked up the tea that Guasheng had just brought and drank it in small sips with an elegant gesture.
"I respect 'Executioner Ittosai', not like 'Executioner Ittosai'." Gua Sheng corrected what Taifu had just said angrily, "How could I fall in love with someone whose portrait I have only seen?"
After saying that, Gua Sheng turned his head and looked at Ogata's portrait posted on the wall.
The light flashed in his eyes.
"Every time I feel tired, I look at Ogata-sama's portrait."
"As soon as I see Ogata-sama's face, I feel a surge of strength."
"If you feel tired, you should ask Master Shirobei to reduce your workload." Taifu said in a half-joking tone, "Looking at the portrait of Ogata Ittousai with your eyes wide open will not make your muscles sore.
Get better instantly.”
In response to Taifu's words, Gua Sheng only smiled and did not make any response.
Guasheng raised the tea cup in his hand, drank all the tea in one breath, and said sternly to the Taifu:
"Master, you came at the right time. If you don't come to me now, I will take the initiative to find you later."
"Huh? Take the initiative to find me?"
"Yes." Gua Sheng nodded vigorously and stood up, "Master, please come with me."
The Taifu followed Gua Sheng into Gua Sheng's bedroom without knowing what was going on.
Guasheng's bedroom, like her living room, had no furniture and was clean. There was a portrait of Ogata on one of the walls.
Every room in Guasheng has a portrait of Ogata.
After walking quickly to a corner of the dormitory, Guasheng moved the tatami under his feet.
After Gua Sheng moved the tatami in the corner of the dormitory, Taifu discovered that there was a hole dug under the tatami, and there was a small box in the hole.
"Tafu, this is the money I have saved since I came to work in Yoshiwara."
Guasheng took out the box and opened it.
It's full of money.
From large gold coins to scattered copper coins, it covers all types of money on the market.
"If I die suddenly in the future, or something happens to me, please just accept my money."
"Master, haven't you been saving money recently and planning to build a house specifically to house and take care of elderly or sick wandering girls? Just use my money for this place."
"Although my little money is not worth mentioning at all, I can't even buy a few pieces of wood..."
The prince's eyes widened in surprise:
"Death? Xiao Guasheng, why are you saying such unlucky words without any idea?"
"Have I not always dealt with all types of scoundrels and scum?" Gua Sheng showed a plain smile, "There are all types of scoundrels and scum, including many desperadoes."
"Maybe one day in the future, when arresting a certain rogue, something unexpected will happen."
"So I just wanted to make some preparations in advance."
"This way, if I have an accident one day, the money I have saved so hard will not go moldy on the tatami."
"Xiao Guasheng, you are really..." The husband put his hands on his hips, his tone full of helplessness, "Should I scold you for worrying too much, or should I praise you for taking precautions..."
"Of course I'm planning for a rainy day." Guasheng smiled "hee hee" while putting the money box in his hand back to its original place and covering it with a tatami mat.
"Anyway, Taifu, don't forget where my money is."
"Xiao Guasheng, aren't you afraid that I will sneak into your house secretly and steal your money in the future?" the husband said in a half-joking tone.
"The prince would not do such a thing." Gua Sheng said without hesitation, "I don't believe that the prince who would spend most of his savings to repair the banks of the Rashomon River would do such a thing."
"Anyway, I'll entrust you with my money. Don't forget where I put my money."
"...I know." Feng Ling Taifu sighed softly and said in a helpless tone, "Xiao Guasheng, I think you are just worrying in vain. Where did Yoshihara come from with so many desperadoes?"
"And even if a desperado appears, they can't do anything to you, right?"
Gua Sheng only smiled at what Feng Ling Taifu said.
