I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

The young man sitting next to Mamiya is a beautiful boy.

Fair skin, firm muscles, and a handsome face.

He is a beautiful boy who wouldn't feel weird even if he was told that he was liked by 100 girls.

"Shallow well."

Mamiya was the first to ask the beautiful boy.

"Let's talk about what you have gained in the past two days. Have you found the base camp of the Negishi family?"

"No."

The beautiful boy whom Mamiya called Asai said without thinking.

"I didn't find the base camp of the Negishi family. But I didn't find nothing - I found a brothel opened by the Negishi family in this pine town."

Mamiya and Asai both control their volume.

Only the two of them could hear their conversation clearly, and no one else could hear what they were talking about.

"Oh?" Jiangong raised his eyebrows while washing his hair, "Then this harvest is not small... I found another place where I might get reliable information..."

"It's your turn, Mamiya."

This beautiful boy—or Asai, said this to Mamiya beside him in a blunt tone.

"Have you gained anything?"

"I, like you, did not find the location of the Negishi family headquarters."

"I made a special trip to the casino run by the Negishi family today, but found nothing."

"But—I happened to meet a very interesting person today."

"A very interesting person?" Asai frowned slightly, and cast a puzzled look at Mamiya beside him.

Mamiya briefly described how he met Ogata by chance today, and how he and Ogata embarked on the road of cooperation in a daze.

"Gamiya..." Asai frowned deeply.

If a mosquito accidentally flew into Asai's eyebrows, it might be pinched to death by Asai's frowning brows.

"What are you doing...why are you cooperating with such an ignorant person for no reason?"

"I'm very interested in that person."

Mamiya said softly.

"Not hesitating to die, not hesitating to use one enemy to a hundred, but also to kill the brutal lord... I am very interested in such an 'executor'."

"Before I met him, I instinctively felt that 'The Executioner' shouldn't be a guy with a twisted personality."

"I was interested in that guy. So I decided to try to reach out to him, try to work with him, try to get to know him."

"Although the friendship between me and him is less than half a day from the time I met him."

"But less than half a day's friendship is enough for me to make a judgment - he is indeed not a treacherous person with a twisted personality."

"It's better to say - he is still the kind of guy who is worthy of deep friendship."

"He belongs to the kind of person who treats you well if you treat him well. If you treat him badly, he will treat you even worse."

Speaking of this, Mamiya paused.

After being silent for a while, he continued:

"If possible, we might be able to bring him into our ranks."

"Huh?" Asai stopped washing his hands.

In the gaze cast towards Jiangong, there was an extremely strong color of astonishment.

"You... want to bring 'Executioner Yidao Zhai' under our command?"

"I think this is very appropriate." Mamiya smiled slightly at Asai, "Didn't my lord complain about the lack of manpower recently?"

"...Hmph." Asai moved his hands after washing his body again, "If you can bring a reliable, powerful person to join us, the lord will be very happy. It depends on your ability Bring Ogata Yidaosai under our command."

"I'll do my best. Tell me the location of the brothel you found later. I'll go for a run tomorrow and see if I can get any useful information from that brothel."

"Are you going to that store? That's fine. I hate that store,

If you are willing to take the initiative to go to that store to collect information, it will really be of great help. I'll tell you where that shop is right now. "

Asai reported a place name.

The brothel opened by the Negishi family happened to be not far from the bathing place.

After silently memorizing the place name Asai reported, Mamiya asked Asai:

"By the way, how are you doing these two days, my lord?"

"It's still the same." Asai smiled wryly, "With great energy, he pulled me around to search for all the information related to the location of the Negishi family's headquarters. It seems... what the Negishi family did really made the Lord very angry. what……"

"Of course." Jiangong also smiled wryly, "The thing my lord hates most is 'deception'."

Speaking of this, Asai seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly paused.

"By the way, I almost forgot to tell you...Gamiya, there is something very important to tell you."

Asai looked serious.

"What's the matter?" Mamiya asked back.

"My lord and I only found out this morning—'Guiping' brought the officials sent by Huo Fu Thief Kai to Tatsuno Fan."

Hearing Asai's words, the expression on Mamiya's face instantly became serious.

"...As expected of 'Guiping'..." Mamiya muttered, "I chased him from Kanto so quickly..."

"My lord asked me to bring you a sentence - 'be careful'."

"Understood." Mamiya scratched his hair, "Although the 'Onihira' are tough, I'm not afraid of them. Asai, do you have anything else to say?"

"there is none left."

"Then tonight's information exchange will end here."

"I can't stay here for too long. If I wash my hair here for too long, it will make Ogata suspicious."

"Well, goodbye, Mamiya."

"Huh? Asai, don't you want to soak in the bathtub?"

"No need. I don't love baths as much as you do. I haven't eaten dinner yet, and I'm not in the mood to take a bath when I'm hungry."

...

...

After getting dressed and coming out of the bathhouse, Asai casually found a shop selling food.

After eating something casually, Asai ran straight to an inn not far from the bathing place.

He ran up to this inn, stopped in front of a room in this inn, and knocked on the door.

"Who?"

A cold voice came from inside.

"My lord." Asai said respectfully, "It's me."

"It's Asai... come in."

"Yes."

Asai opened the sliding paper door, stepped into the room slowly, and then knelt down on the tatami mat in the room.

"My lord, I have successfully exchanged information with Jian Gong and returned."

"Has Mamiya received any goods in the past two days?"

"Nothing was found. But——Mamiya happened to meet that 'Executioner Yidaosai' today, and together with that 'Executioner Yidaosai', he searched for the location of the Negishi family's base camp."

"...Asai, tell me about this matter in detail."
