Ogata has never had any good feelings towards the Yakuza.
They do nothing serious and just bully the weak - if someone can feel good about such a group, Ogata would really like to see if this person has water in his brain.
However, no matter how annoying it is, if this big Buddha Longzhi can ask Ogata and the others to give up their seats in a friendly manner, Ogata may give up his seats. After all, it is just a small matter.
However, Ogata was quite displeased by Ryuji Daibutsu's arrogant attitude of ordering Ogata to do things according to his wishes with a condescending attitude.
This would remind Ogata of Matsudaira Gennai, who had asked his fellow apprentices to kill each other in a rude and unreasonable manner.
Ever since that night, Xu Fang has been extremely disgusted with those guys who think they are superior and have a rude and unreasonable attitude.
This strong feeling of disgust turned into a nameless fire burning fiercely in Ogata's chest.
This nameless anger made Ogata kneel firmly on the spot, without any interest or intention to follow Takashi's orders.
Originally, Ogata was already burning with anger, and the new words that Ryuji said just now made the fire in Ogata's heart burn even more fiercely.
The light green onion color that Ogata liked was considered a rather old-fashioned color in that era, and only country bumpkins would wear light green onion clothes.
Kyoto is the hardest hit area for discrimination against light green skin.
There's nothing wrong with someone hating something you like.
But it is wrong for this guy to insult something you like in front of you.
Someone told him directly in front of him that the light green haori he was wearing was disgusting - it was impossible for Ogata to say that he didn't feel uncomfortable.
What's more, this haori was bought for him by Atachi, so it has a special meaning.
The nameless anger in Ogata's heart was burning extremely fiercely - and the nameless anger burning in the chest of Fuma, who was sitting next to Ogata, was no less intense than Ogata's.
Unlike Ogata, Fuma has an extreme disgust for those who think they are superior to others.
What really made Fengma's heart burn with anger was what Long Zhi just said - this guy called him "a bald-headed old man".
Baldness is an eternal pain in Fengmo's heart.
I don’t know if it’s because I practiced too much when I was young, which damaged my body’s vitality, or some other reason, but as I get older, Feng Mo’s hair becomes thinner and thinner…
Every time I lift my hair, I can pull out a lot of hair...
This made Fengmo quite panicked.
Although he is not a person who cares much about his appearance, he does have some love of beauty.
I was extremely panicked and thought of many ways to remedy the situation.
I have seen countless doctors and taken countless doses of medicine.
The result was useless.
Since doctors could no longer help him, Fengmo turned to folk remedies.
For example: Feng Mo once heard from a friend that eating kelp seemed to help grow hair, so he ate kelp for a month. As a result, he ate it until he wanted to vomit at the smell of kelp, but Feng Mo's hair was still getting thinner...
The first things to fall off were the hair on Fengmo's forehead and top of his head.
Fuma originally did not shave his hair at the top of his head, but kept his hair long like Ogata.
But after the hair on the forehead and top of the head fell off, Fengmo had to comb his hair for a month.
Whenever someone asked him why he suddenly changed his hairstyle, he would say: Recently I suddenly felt that topknots look pretty good, so I changed to topknots.
This is how he deceives himself to cover up the fact that he is bald...
However, the hair loss has not stopped...
Soon, all the hair on the back of Fengma's head and temples fell out...there was no chance for him to keep his hair in a bun.
When there was no hair left on his head, facing the cruel fact that he had become bald, Feng Mo had to grit his teeth and accept it...
From then on, words such as "bald head" and "bald head" became taboo words for Fengmo.
He hates it most when people say he is bald.
…
…
Ogata and Fuma were still sitting there, ignoring Ryuji's order just now, which made many people present who knew who Daibutsu Ryuji was look horrified.
"Your Highness."
At this moment, someone quickly walked to Ogata's side, lowered his voice, and said urgently:
"This man is not to be trifled with. He is the next leader of the 'Big Buddha Clan' that runs this casino. If you provoke him, you may die. Listen to him and leave now."
As this kind-hearted man kindly advised Ogata and the others to leave quickly, Takashi's expression changed rapidly in just a few breaths.
He looked stunned at first.
It has been a long time since anyone dared to be so disrespectful to the leader's adopted son in the territory of their "Big Buddha Clan".
Then the surprise on his face turned into anger.
At this moment, Kijiro and his subordinates were nearby, and in his arms was the woman he had just hooked up with.
With his subordinates and women present, Ogata and Fuma's attitude of ignoring him made him extremely embarrassed and unable to save face.
Then, the anger turned into a smile.
This is not a happy smile.
But a sneer.
"Get lost!"
Takayuki's words "Get lost" were directed at the kind-hearted person who was trying to persuade Okata and Fuma not to act so arrogantly.
Judging from the way the kind-hearted man was dressed, he was just an ordinary civilian - how could he have the guts to challenge the powerful Yakuza?
After hearing Takashi's words "Get out of here", this person's face immediately turned pale, his legs trembled, and he walked away from Ogata in trembling steps.
In order to avoid being implicated, the gamblers also stayed away from Ogata and Fuma.
With Ogata and the other two as the center, an empty space was created around them as the gamblers stayed away.
Long Zhi, who was eager to save face in front of his subordinates and women, shouted angrily to the six bodyguards behind him: "Please send those two guys away!"
When saying the word "please", Longzhi emphasized the tone.
After receiving the order from Ryushita, the six bodyguards strode towards Ogata and the other man.
Some spectators who were standing not far away and watching silently couldn't help but cast sympathetic glances at Ogata and Fuma.
In their eyes, even if Ogata and Fuma didn't die in the end, there was a high probability that they would lose half their lives.
That's what the Yakuza are like. They are the best at bullying people.
As for Long Zhi - the corners of his mouth were now slightly upturned, revealing a smug smile.
——Humph! It seems that the man in the bamboo hat is also a self-righteous idiot!
Takashi subconsciously believed that Ogata was the kind of arrogant person who thought he was so good at swordsmanship and that no one could do anything to him.
Long Zhi had seen many such arrogant people before - without exception, these arrogant people were severely punished by their "Big Buddha Clan".
Takashi equated .
As for Fuma——Takashi never even looked at him straight in the eye from beginning to end.
Longzhi didn't think that there was anything worthy of attention about a bald old man who didn't even have a weapon.
Takashi's six bodyguards were getting closer and closer to Ogata and his group.
Ogata and Fuma, who were at the center of this incident, were still sitting there quite calmly.
"Brother." Fūma, with his arms folded in front of his chest, asked Ogata softly, "I have a suggestion. Are you interested in listening to it?"
"Please go ahead."
"If we stay here and wait for the big Buddha Xun to come out, we don't know how long we'll have to wait." Feng Mo said slowly, "Why don't we just tie up this big Buddha Longzhi and interrogate him about the big Buddha Xun's residence?"
As soon as Fuma finished speaking, Takashi's six bodyguards had formed a semicircle to surround Ogata and the other two who were still kneeling in the same place.
The bodyguard standing closest to Ogata had already reached out his hand towards Ogata's shoulder.
However... just when his hand was halfway up in the air, he suddenly felt his arm being grabbed by a "big iron clamp".
This "big iron clamp" is Ogata's hand.
Ogata grabbed the bodyguard's hand that was stretched out to him, and before the bodyguard could react, he twisted and threw the man heavily to the ground using the Shiranui-ryu Jutsu, and then chopped the man's neck with a knife, knocking him unconscious.
[Ding! Use Shiranui Style Ninjutsu and Shiranui Style Jujutsu to defeat the enemy]
[Gain 35 personal experience points, and 30 experience points for the Ninjutsu "Shiranui Style Ninjutsu"]
[Current personal level: Lv40 (1870/6400) ]
[Shiranui Style Ninjutsu Level: 8th Stage (7070/7500)]
"Isn't this a coincidence?" Ogata smiled at Fuma, "We both thought of the same thing."
"Hahaha, then we have quite a good understanding of each other." Feng Mo chuckled and slowly stood up.
After Ogata knocked down their companion at a speed so fast that their eyes couldn't catch up, the faces of the remaining five bodyguards changed drastically, and they subconsciously took one or two steps back, then drew their swords.
As for Long Zhi, who had a smug look on his face just now, his expression changed slightly.
All of his bodyguards were ronin hired by his adoptive father at a huge expense.
Each of them is very skilled and is a master who has been hired after a rigorous assessment. Some of them also have actual combat experience and have killed several people.
The master that he was so proud of was knocked down and knocked unconscious in an instant by the man in the bamboo hat - how could Long Zhi not be surprised?
At this time, Kijiro and other high-level members of the "Great Buddha Clan" were also shocked.
Kijiro was the first to react. He turned around and winked at the seven guards they brought with them.
The seven guards were also quite alert. After receiving the look from Kijiro, they nodded vigorously, drew their swords, and rushed towards Ogata and Fuma. The number of people surrounding Ogata and Fuma increased from 5 to 12.
After Kijiro sent their guards to reinforce, the panic that had just appeared on Takashi's face quickly disappeared.
Long Zhi's face has now turned into a strange dark red.
This old man and this young man had humiliated him time and again, and he now felt as if all the blood in his body was rushing to his head.
There was only one thought left in his mind now.
Long Zhi used all his strength to shout out the thought in his mind:
"What are you all doing? Hurry up and take him down!"
All Takashi wants now is to quickly take revenge on Ogata and Fuma to restore his reputation.
No matter how skilled they are, can two of them really beat 12 people?
Although there are more people surrounding him and Fuma now, Ogata still looks calm and seems to not care at all.
At this time, Ogata pulled out the katana of the bodyguard who was knocked down by his jutsu, then stood up, holding the knife in one hand, and looked at the 12 bodyguards around him with calm eyes.
"Can you please step back?"
"Our current target is only one person, Dafulong."
"If possible, we don't want to make too much noise..."
Before Ogata could finish his words, the 12 bodyguards shouted and rushed towards Ogata and Fuma with their knives raised high.
Looking at the 12 bodyguards rushing towards him, Ogata sighed lightly, then maintained a natural standing posture and raised the sword with one hand.
…
…
"Shirakawa." Dafoxun said to Shirakawa beside him in a deep voice, "The subordinate I sent to the old man's home to check on the situation has just come back to report." Dafoxun said slowly, "He said - the old man has not returned yet."
"Haven't you seen that old man yet?" Baichuan raised his eyebrows.
At this time, Daibutsu Kaoru and Shirakawa, who were walking side by side, were hurried to the Wisteria House surrounded by guards.
Shirakawa is also a gambler, so Dafo Xun also invited Shirakawa to play a few games at Wisteria House tonight.
"...That old man might not be an ordinary person." Baichuan said.
What Dafo Kaoru and Shirakawa were discussing at this time was the task that Dafo Kaoru had assigned to the "Blood Mist Group" led by Shirakawa last night to "cut the wind demon into ten pieces."
Both Daibutsu Kaoru and Shirakawa thought that this was just a very simple task and there was no possibility of any accidents.
However...the accident happened.
The four men Shirakawa had sent to carry out this mission had not returned yet - at first, Shirakawa did not care, thinking that after completing the mission, his men had robbed some money from the old man's house and were using the money to indulge themselves somewhere in Kyoto.
They, the "Blood Mist Crowd", are a very loose group of bandits in which each member has a high degree of freedom. This kind of thing is commonplace among them.
As a result - until noon today, Baichuan still hasn't seen his four subordinates return.
It was not until then that Baichuan vaguely realized that something seemed to be wrong.
Although he felt that such a thing should be impossible, he still reported the matter to Ōbutsu Kaoru and told him: My subordinates may have failed.
Dafoxun also attached great importance to this matter and immediately sent people to Fengma's home to check the situation.
The results of the investigation shocked both Daibutsu Kaoru and Shirakawa - neither Fuma nor Shirakawa's four subordinates were found.
Dafo Kaoru immediately added a new order - keep a close eye on Fuma's home, and report back immediately if he sees Fuma or Shirakawa's four subordinates.
But until now, the report received is still "Fuma and Shirakawa's subordinates have not been seen."
"...At this point, it is possible to suspect—" Daibutsu Xun continued in a deep voice, "Your four subordinates may have been killed by the old man, and when the old man realized that he was being targeted, he fled."
"...It seems that the 10 taels of reward I asked you for was really too little." Baichuan said, "If my four subordinates were really killed by that old man without any help, then this old man is really amazing..."
Although his subordinates might be in danger now, Shirakawa's expression was still quite calm, and he seemed to not care about the life or death of the four subordinates who were sent to deal with Fuma.
"So what are you going to do now?" Bai Chuan asked, "Are you going to search for that old man?"
"Of course." Dafoxun's expression darkened. "I've said it before. If I don't chop this guy who caused my brother to be sent to the magistrate's office into ten pieces, how can I feel at ease and convince the people?"
"Then how are you going to find someone?" Baichuan shrugged.
"You don't need to worry about that." Dafoxun sneered a few times, "Even if we don't find him in the end, at least we have to burn his house to vent our hatred."
"Tell me when you find him. I will go and deal with him myself." Bai Chuan licked his lips. "If he really has the ability to defeat my four subordinates, then he must be an incredible master... It would be a pity not to meet such a master."
"No problem." Dafoxun sneered and let out a long sigh, "Okay, let's stop here for now and talk about it in detail later."
"When it's time to do business, do it seriously."
“Recreation is the time to relax and have fun.”
"Now just concentrate on enjoying the fun of gambling."
While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the door of Wisteria House.
Dafoxun, who couldn't wait to get into the casino to play a few games, had excitement glittering in his eyes.
Neither Dabutsu Xun nor Shirakawa noticed at this moment that not far from them, there was a beggar who was observing them carefully through the gap in the tattered hat on his head.
Before the Buddha and the others entered the Wisteria House, the beggar stood up slowly and walked towards a dark alley next to it with the tattered bowl he had just begged for 2 cents...
In the alley, a man dressed as a civilian was waiting.
After coming to the civilian, the beggar said in a deep voice:
"Hurry up and report to Lord Hasegawa - Shirakawa has found the 'Blood Mist Clan'."
…
…
Only a moment later—
"Master Hasegawa!"
A young man opened the door and ran hurriedly to Hasegawa.
"We found Shirakawa! Shirakawa and Daibutsu Kaoru are together, entering the Wisteria House together."
The young man completed his report concisely.
Hasegawa, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.
"Does Shirakawa have any weapons on him?"
"have."
"Besides that big Buddha Kaoru, how many other people are following Shirakawa?"
"Eight people." The young man gave an accurate number, "Except for the big Buddha Kaoru who was wearing a wakizashi, the rest of them were wearing katana and wakizashi."
Hasegawa stood up quickly: "Gather everyone! Prepare to arrest people!"
…
…
Inside the Wisteria House——
As soon as Dafoxun stepped onto the stairs leading to the second floor, he saw many gamblers rushing down the stairs in panic.
——What’s going on?
As soon as this question popped up in Dafoxun's mind, he saw a man running towards him in panic.
This person is one of the cadres of their "Big Buddha Clan" and is specifically responsible for managing the Wisteria House casino.
After seeing the big Buddha, the man immediately said in a panic:
"Mr. Dafo, something bad has happened. Someone is causing trouble in the casino. Young Master Longzhi is in danger!"
Hearing this, Daibutsu Kaoru's expression suddenly changed, and then he gave the cadre a concise order: "Where is Longzhi now? Take me there quickly!"
“Yes, yes!”
The cadre led Dafoxun to the second floor and then opened the door of a room.
As soon as the door was opened, the scene in front of Dafoxun made his expression change drastically.
There were many people lying in the casino, not knowing whether they were dead or alive. Daibutsu Kaoru had an impression of these people. They were the guards of senior officials such as Takashige and Kijiro.
The guards were lying on the ground.
As for senior officials such as Takashige and Kijiro, they just stood there stupidly or sat slumped on the ground.
Longzhi and the woman he had just hooked up with were now slumped on the ground, looking in horror at a bald old man in front of them and a guy who had covered his face tightly with a hat and a scarf.
