Chapter 510 Ogata was assassinated! [7000 words]

I found that some book friends often misunderstood Matsudaira Sadanobu's age because of his mature speech and noble status.

The reason why Matsudaira Sadanobu speaks in a mature manner is because of the author's intention. A man with such power in the world will naturally speak in a more mature manner and not laugh like a young man.

The author has popularized the age of Matsudaira Sadanobu, a historical figure, before. Let me do it again now.

Matsudaira Sadanobu was born in 1758 AD. At the current time of this book (1791 AD), he is only 33 years old.

Although this age was considered a middle-aged person in ancient society who might even have grandchildren, he was still far from being called an "old man".

By the way, Matsudaira Sadanobu was only 29 years old when he became the second in command of the country.

High positions such as Laonaka and Wakaninori were basically held by feudal lords who were close to the shogunate.

Therefore, those who can become laozhong are basically both laozhong and the lord of XX vassal.

Matsudaira Sadanobu was the feudal lord of the Shirakawa Domain in the Mutsu region before he became the senior commander of the shogunate. Now he is both the senior commander of the shogunate and still the feudal lord of the Shirakawa Domain.

But there are occasional exceptions. In Japan during the Edo period, when class solidification was extremely serious and the Shiqing Shiroku system was implemented, there were heroes who were born at the bottom but succeeded in becoming powerful. Matsudaira Sadanobu's predecessor before he came to power, Lao Nakatanuma

Yiji is such a hero.

Tanuma Yiji was just a lower-level samurai of the Kii clan at the beginning. In the end, through various operations, he miraculously succeeded in jumping from a lower-level samurai to the second-in-command of the country and became the second-in-command of the country. As for how he did it, there will be opportunities in the future.

Let me tell you more about science.

"I didn't expect that we had just arrived at Red Moon Fortress and were about to leave..." Amachi muttered, "How should we go to that Huxi Village? Can we find someone who knows where Huxi Village is to guide us?"

Ogata and Amachi walked side by side on the way back to where they lived.

It was just after dinner time, so there were not many people on the road, so the scene where many people gathered around Ogata and the two of them during the day did not appear.

"That's the only thing we can do." Ogata said, "When we get back, let's ask the villagers in Qina Village to see if any of them know where Huxi Village is and are willing to take us there."

Compared to the unfamiliar residents of Red Moon Fortress, Ogata naturally wanted to ask the villagers of Huxi Village who were familiar with them to help them.

"We really worked hard to find Xuanzheng and Xuanzhen..." A-Machi's face showed no expression at all, but his tone was full of displeasure, "We chased them all the way from Kyoto to Ezo, and then

Running around in Ezo again..."

Atachi changed into a half-joking tone.

"We have suffered so much, and now I really have the urge to punch those two people in the face after I find them."

"I really want to go back to Japan soon..."

"Although Ainu food is quite delicious once you get used to it, I still prefer our Japanese food."

"Besides, I have never gotten used to living in an Ainu house. I really miss sleeping on the tatami..."

"Keep holding on," Ogata said softly.

While chatting and laughing with A-Machi, Ogata suddenly noticed a familiar figure not far ahead.

Looking closely, he discovered that the figure standing not far from them was none other than Aisuma, who had just parted ways with them.

Aisuma was sitting on the ground, leaning against a big tree, with her head lowered, as if she was thinking about something.

Aisuma is one of the few people Ogata and the others know in the Red Moon Fortress.

When Ogata and the others discovered Isuma, Isuma also discovered Ogata and Atachi.

"Mr. Majima, Miss Atachi." Esuma looked at the two of them, "Why are you here?"

Ogata: "It's a long story..."

Ogata told Aisuma about Lin Ziping's affairs in a concise and concise manner.

"Huxi Village..." Aisuma said, "I know this village. This village is indeed not very far from our Heye Zhe. However, because that village is not very familiar with our Heye Zhe, I also

I have never been to that village, and I don’t know where it is exactly.”

"Right now, I just hope that someone in Qina Village knows where Nahuxi Village is." Ogata said with a smile.

Ogata looked around.

"Speaking of which, why are you here alone? Where is your brother?"

"I'm here to blow some air." Aisuma forced out an ugly smile, "Blowing the night breeze can help calm down my full stomach a little."

"I was really angry at my brother just now..."

"What's wrong with your brother?" Ating asked.

"He said a lot of stupid things. As for what he said... please allow me to keep it a secret."

Having said this, Aisuma let out a sigh of relief.

"What a troublesome brother..."

"How can he participate in the hunting festival in his current state..."

"Hunting Festival?" Ogata tilted his head, "What is this?"

"Don't you know about our Heye Zhe's hunting festival?"

Ogata and Atachi both shook their heads.

Amachi: "Is it some kind of festival?"

"Well... it can barely be regarded as a sacrificial activity." The somewhat ugly smile on Aisuma's face gradually softened, "This hunting festival should be regarded as a unique sacrificial activity for us Heye Zhe."

"Ten years ago, the climate in the north suddenly changed for unknown reasons."

"The weather became extremely cold, and a large number of animals, including deer, froze to death."

"The massive reduction in the number of deer, rabbits and other animals has also led to bears, wolves and other animals not being able to find food and starving to death."

"The massive decrease in animals has also put us, who rely on hunting for a living, into an instant food shortage dilemma."

"The increasingly harsh living environment has led many people to finally make up their minds to abandon their current homes and go south to find a new one."

"There are four tribes that decided to go south to find new homes."

"And my father Chanup happens to be the village chief of one of these four tribes."

"People from the four tribes united together and headed south aimlessly."

"Although I was only a 5-year-old kid at that time, and I was still at an age where I didn't remember much, I still have fresh memories of the hardships I experienced going south at that time."

"Because we are unfamiliar with the place, just finding clean water and enough food is a big problem."

"Almost every day there are people who can no longer join us in finding a new home for various reasons."

"The reason why we are where we are today is all thanks to the young people in the tribe."

"In order to obtain sufficient food and water, the young people of the four tribes worked extremely hard every day in the unfamiliar mountains and forests, looking for prey."

"Many people died from bears and wolves because they were unfamiliar with the conditions in the mountains and forests, or simply got lost and never came back."

"After hunting prey, everyone gives the food to the weak, old, weak, women and children first, and young people like them eat last."

"Thanks to the sacrifices of those young people, we were able to survive all the way, and finally successfully found this fortress left by the white-skinned people, settled here, and built a new home."

"In order to commemorate these young people who died on the way south for the tribe, after building a new home here, my father Chanup and Retannoe launched a proposal: to organize a new,

An event to commemorate those young people.”

Speaking of this, Aisuma paused, and then added:

"Ah, you probably don't know who Retannoe is."

"Retannoe's position in our Heye Zhe... In your words, he should be the second in command."

"Like my father, he is the village chief of one of the four tribes that went south."

"Although his personality is a bit irritable, he is also a very capable person. On the way south to find a new home, his role and contribution were no less than those of my father."

"His status and influence in Heyezhe is second only to my father Chanup."

"Ah, the Puccina you just saw is Retannoe's son."

"Under the call of my father and Retannoe, the 'Hunting Festival' was born."

"The young people of Heyezhe gather together to compete in bow skills. This is the 'Hunting Festival'."

"By allowing young people to compete in archery skills, we can let those heroic spirits who fell on the way south and have gone to the 'other world' know that their sacrifices were worth it. We have successfully found a new home, and the young people in the tribe are all

As they continue to grow vigorously, their archery skills have not been neglected, and everyone is an excellent hunter."

"At the beginning, the 'Hunting Festival' was relatively crude, but now it is gradually taking shape and becoming more and more grand."

"The current 'Hunting Festival' is held twice a year."

"The 'Hunting Festival' has now become a festival that many of us in Heyezhe attach great importance to."

"Many young people are eager to show off their talents in the 'Hunting Festival'."

"This year's first 'Hunting Festival' will begin in six days."

"My brother will participate in the 'Hunting Festival' for the first time this year."

"But his current level of archery skills..."

The smile on Aisuma's face instantly turned bitter.

"To put it bluntly... if he plays at his current level, I'm afraid it will embarrass my father and me..."

"My brother has always been very introverted."

"Not good at interacting with people."

"Until now, I don't have many friends. I am only close to my father and me. I can't even find a companion who can practice archery with him."

"It is very inefficient to practice a skill like archery by yourself, because if you are alone, you will often not notice that your movements are wrong."

"I really hope that kid can be more upbeat..."

"Based on his current state... I'm really worried that he will cause embarrassment in the 'Hunting Festival' that is about to begin..."

Having said this, Aisuma let out a long sigh again.

"It's really not easy for you to be a sister," Ogata said.

Ogata was an only child in both his previous life and his current life. He did not have any brothers or sisters, so Ogata felt unfamiliar with this kind of brother-sister relationship.

"Who calls him my brother?" Aisuma smiled bitterly, "Not long after he was born, his mother died of illness."

"At least I felt a little maternal love during my childhood, but he didn't even have the slightest memory of his biological mother."

"While I am playing the role of 'sister', I am also trying to play the role of 'mother'."

Speaking of this, Aisuma paused as if she was remembering something.

"...Now that I think about it carefully...the reason why the child is so interested in things related to people is probably because of the influence of his mother's early death..."

"My mother contracted a very strange disease not long after she gave birth to Otongpuyi."

"The fever persisted and I couldn't eat any food. I vomited it out as soon as I ate it."

"I called all the doctors I could find and tried all the available methods, but nothing worked..."

"Otongpuyi often talks to me: If our doctors' skills could be better, if our medical skills could be better, my mother might not have died..."

"That's probably why the child became interested in Kazuto... I thought that as long as he lived an advanced life like Kazuto, his mother might be cured and not die..."

After speaking, Aisuma pursed her lips.

After a moment, she took a deep breath, then raised her hands and patted her cheeks hard.

"I'm sorry..." Esuma apologized to Ogata and Atachi in front of her, "I seem to have said something very heavy."

Ogata shook his head: "It doesn't matter. Don't worry about us. It's us who should be sorry for reminding you of some not-so-good memories."

"...Thank you." Aisuma smiled, "Thank you for chatting with me. After chatting with you for a while, I feel much better."

Aisuma stood up.

"I've stayed out long enough, and it's almost time for me to go home."

"Just now...because of the excitement, I said something...a bit too much to my brother..."

"You have to go and apologize to him..."

Aisuma scratched her hair.

"Mr. Majima, Miss Atachi, see you later. I wish you all the best in advance to arrive at the Huxi Village and get what you want."

"Thank you." Ogata smiled, "I appreciate your good words. I also wish you in advance that you can successfully lead your brother to practice bow skills, so that your brother will have a brilliant performance in the subsequent hunting festival."

Ogata and Amachi bowed to Isuma.

After Isuma returned a somewhat awkward Japanese bow to Ogata and the others, she strode aside.

Looking at Isuma's leaving figure, Omachi whispered in a low voice that only she and Ogata could hear clearly:

"I didn't expect that the reason why Otongpui cares so much about us and our culture is that he has such a hidden secret..."

Atachi also lost his mother when he was very young, so he can understand the feeling of not having his mother by his side since childhood.

Although I am accompanied by Aisuma, my sister who assumes part of the mother's functions, my sister is still my sister, and it is difficult for her to fully assume the role of "mother".

Ogata nodded slightly to show his agreement.

He originally thought that the reason why the Otonpui child liked Kazuto's culture so much was just because of his natural personality.

Only now did I learn that the reason why the child became like this was probably due to the great impact of his mother's early death.

"It feels like this kind of brother-sister relationship that supports each other is really beautiful." At this time, A-Machi continued with emotion, "I really want to experience what it would be like to have a younger brother."

Amachi, like Ogata, is also an only child in the family, and has never experienced what it is like to have brothers and sisters.

"If you don't mind, I can pretend to be your brother and play sister and brother with you for a day." Ogata said coldly.

"Then just call me 'sister' and listen."

Ogata:(????)??"Sister."

A-Machi:╰(*°▽°*)╯ “Eh!”

Ogata:o(=??=)m "Give me pocket money."

A-Machi: (o′?ェ?`o) "Oh, if I look carefully, you don't seem to be my brother. I'm sorry, you got the wrong person. I'm not your sister."

"We promised to have a sister-brother relationship that 'supports each other'..."

At this moment, Ogata suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind.

The footsteps were approaching him from behind at an extremely fast speed!

Ogata quickly turned his head and looked behind him.

But when his eyes moved behind him, Ogata was so shocked by the scene behind him that his pupils shrank slightly.

Someone was indeed approaching him from behind.

But this person's height should not exceed his knees.

It's a little girl.

Although the light was a bit dim tonight, Ogata could still barely see clearly that the little girl was only about 6 years old.

She raised her right hand high, holding a stone tightly in her right palm, and rushed straight towards Ogata.

“#¥%*Acha%¥#@!(Ainu language)”

While the little girl rushed towards Ogata, she yelled an Ainu language that Ogata could not understand in the vague tone unique to young girls.

Although Ogata could not understand what the little girl said, Ogata heard the word "Acha" in what the little girl said.

Ogata knew what "Acha" meant.

"Acha" in Ainu language means "father".

After rushing to Ogata, the little girl threw the stone in her right hand at Ogata hard.

Even if Ogata had a high fever of 41 degrees and was extremely drunk, there was no way he would be beaten by this little girl.

With only half a step to the side, Ogata easily dodged the little girl's attack.

Just when the little girl was about to launch a second attack on Ogata, Ogata reached out and grabbed the young girl's right hand holding the stone and controlled it.

Unable to hit Ogata with stones any more, the young girl tried to kick Ogata with her short legs and spit at Ogata at the same time.

But all she did was in vain. Her short legs couldn't kick Ogata at all. Due to her weak strength, her spit couldn't spit far and couldn't hit Ogata either.

Aisuma, who had not gone far, heard the noise made by the young girl and hurried back in a hurry.

"What happened?" Aisuma asked.

"This little girl suddenly appeared and wanted to hit Majima with stones." Atachi frowned slightly.

Aisuma glanced at the little girl intently, and then her pupils shrank slightly.

"I remember this child... This child seems to be a child from Kapasi Village..."

After hearing the word "Kapashi Village", both Ogata and Omachi's expressions changed.

Not long ago, they heard Aisuma introduce the people of this village.

Kapasi Village participated in the Battle of Kunasili-Menasi that ended with the disastrous defeat of the Ainu three years ago. After a long period of wandering, the surviving villagers were taken in by Chanup and became

A member of Heye Zhe...

Ogata and Atachi's original doubts about why the little girl wanted to attack them all disappeared at this time.

The two looked at the little girl with complicated eyes, wondering what to do with the little girl now.

"#¥%*Acha%¥#@! (Ainu language)" The little girl's eyes were red and she shouted what he just shouted to Ogata.

Hearing what the little girl said, Aisuma's face changed slightly.

At this time, a young woman who was not very young suddenly appeared in the field of vision of Ogata and others.

The young woman appeared from the end of the path not far away, and then rushed toward Ogata and the others in a panic.

After seeing Aisuma present, the young woman immediately said something to Ainu in a gibberish voice.

"This woman is the mother of this little girl." Aisuma told Ogata and others, "I accidentally let my daughter run out."

"She said that her daughter was ignorant and disturbed us. She apologized to us on behalf of her daughter. She hoped that we could let her ignorant daughter go."

Ogata and Atachi looked at each other, then nodded.

Ogata returned the little girl who tried to assassinate him with a small stone to the young woman.

The young woman hugged her daughter and left in a panic.

Ogata noticed the little girl being held in the arms of the young woman. Before leaving, he did not forget to look at Ogata with a vicious look.

"...Please forgive that child." After the mother and daughter left, Aisuma sighed, "That child is not sensible yet..."

"I'm not angry at a child who didn't make any big mistakes..." Ogata said softly, "The child just kept saying the same sentence to me, but I couldn't understand what it meant. The child just kept saying the same thing to me.

What are you talking about?"

Aisuma pursed her lips, and after hesitating for a while, she whispered:

"...The kid said; 'Give me my daddy back'."

"The fathers, sons, husbands of many people in Kapasi Village... all died in the battle of Kunasili Menasi three years ago..."

This time it was Ogata, and Atachi and the others pursed their lips.

Ogata turned his head and looked at the direction where the mother and daughter left just now. The expression on his face and the look in his eyes were very complicated.

"I will report this matter to my father and ask him to come forward and warn the people of Kapasi Village." Aisuma said, "Please don't pay too much attention to what just happened."

"Don't worry." Ogata forced out a smile that wasn't too pretty, "I just said that I wouldn't be angry at a child who didn't make any big mistakes..."





Ogata and the two said goodbye to Isuma again.

Aisuma continues back to her home.

After experiencing this "attack" incident, Ogata and his wife no longer wanted to stay where they were and talk and laugh, so they returned to the place where they lived with the villagers of Qina Village.

On the way back to his residence, Atachi suddenly said to Ogata beside him:

"...While we are staying at the Red Moon Fortress, we really need to be more careful."

"Although the people in Kapasi village told us, 'They respect Chanupu and will not do anything excessive to us as Heyezhe's guests.'"

"But people like the little girl just now, who come to attack us regardless of their concerns, might show up again..."

Ogata didn't respond aloud, only nodded slightly.

After returning to their residence, the two happened to bump into the village chief Chepke of Qina Village.

"Oh! Majima Goro, Omachi." Chepke greeted the two of them, "You are back. I couldn't find you just now. I am still wondering where you two went."

"We went to take care of some things." Ogata said, "Chief Chepke, you showed up just in time. I have something to ask you."

Ogata told Chepke about Lin Ziping's story in a concise and concise manner.

"Huxi Village...?" Chepke frowned slightly.

"Yes." Ogata nodded, "Does anyone in your village know where Huxi Village is?"

"Huxi Village... I have an impression..." Chepke said slowly, "Oh! I remembered that there is indeed a family in our village who should know where the Huxi Village is."

"If I remember correctly, that family seemed to care about a relative in Xi Village."

"Which family?" Ogata asked urgently.

"You two should be quite familiar with that family," Chepke said, "It's Ashley's family."

"Ashri?" Ogata raised his eyebrows.

The figure of a girl who really likes wearing orange headbands appeared in Ogata's mind.
