Baoji is very depressed now.

He led his six subordinates to Yoshihara tonight to inquire and collect information about Kinoshita Genichi.

However, no matter how much he inquired, there was no information about Kinoshita Genichi.

Although there are many old men who come and go in Yoshiwara, none of them is Kinoshita Genichi.

Tonight is the time when the results of the "Imperial Examination" literary test are released.

In order to confirm whether Kinoshita Genichi came to Edo to participate in this "Gozen Examination", Hoji just took a look at the list of those who passed the literary test, but he did not see the name Kinoshita Genichi.

If Kinoshita Genichi’s name is not seen, then there are only three possibilities: Genichi did not come to participate, Genichi participated under a pseudonym, and Genichi participated but failed the literary test.

Today is already the 16th day that Baoji led his men south to Edo.

For more than half a month, Baoji never slacked off for a day, running around every day to get information about Kinoshita Genichi.

However, until now, no information about Ding Dian and Kinoshita Genichi has been collected...

Perhaps he was dissatisfied with the current life of not knowing when it would end. As soon as he came out of Yoshiwara, a subordinate behind Baoji said in a tired tone:

"Hoji-sama...Isn't it possible that Kinoshita Genichi never came to Edo at all?"

Hearing this question from his subordinates, Baoji couldn't help but fell silent.

Because he felt that the "Gozen Trial Combination" event was very likely to attract Kinoshita Genichi, a man who was extremely obsessed with swordsmanship, Hokichi led his only six subordinates to go to Edo in a mighty manner.

So many days have passed, and no information about Ding Dian and Kinoshita Genichi has been collected, which makes Baoji couldn't help but murmur in his heart: Could it be that Kinoshita Genichi really didn't come to Edo?

After a moment of silence, Baoji said in a deep voice:

"Let's stay here in Edo for another half month."

"If there is still no news from Kinoshita Genichi, we will go back."

The hatred for Kinoshita Genichi made Hokichi unwilling to leave Edo until there was no hope at all.

Baoji will never forget that night eight years ago when Kinoshita Genichi broke into their village and killed almost all of Baoji's subordinates.

Fortunately, the subordinates fought hard and bought Baoji time to escape, and Baoji escaped Kinoshita Genichi's butcher knife.

The bandit Hokichi's family, which was originally famous in the Akita area, was completely destroyed because of Kinoshita Genichi.

In the past eight years, Baoji's hatred for Yuan Yi has not only not diminished, but has only grown day by day.

In order to take revenge, during these eight years, Baoji collected information about Yuan Yi from all over the world and prepared weapons that could defeat Yuan Yi.

It's late at night now. After leaving Yoshihara, the number of people Baoji and others have seen so far is less than five fingers.

Baoji is no longer the majestic bandit leader he once was, so in order to save money, the hotel he and his men stayed in was a cheaper hotel located in a remote area.

At this time, even the avenues that would be very busy during the day are almost deserted, let alone remote areas.

After Baoji and others turned onto a trail, the sight that appeared in front of Baoji and others made Baoji and his men have to stop.

At the end of the path beneath their feet, two people stood.

Two people dressed very strangely.

One of them was dressed quite normally, with both upper and lower body clothes well-dressed.

The other person's attire was somewhat unusual in such a night with the whistling wind. He was only wearing a thin white bathrobe and no shoes.

Although one of them was dressed normally, both of them were weird in Baoji's eyes because they both wore masks on their faces.

One person wears a tengu mask and the other person wears a white fox mask.

"Who are you?" Baoji said in a deep voice.

While questioning these two weirdos in a deep voice, Baoji and the six subordinates behind him all put their hands on the handles of the sabers at their waists.

"Hmm... If I remember correctly, you should be the bandit leader Bao Ji that I wiped out a few years ago, right?"

"Tengu" said suddenly.

Listening to the voice of "Tengu", Baoji's expression changed instantly, and then he gritted his teeth and screamed:

"Kinoshita Genichi!!"

…

…

After pointing out that the group of people who just walked out of Yoshiwara were "rats", Genichi led Ogata to follow closely behind the group of people, looking for a suitable opportunity to ambush, and at the same time introduced to Ogata who this group of "rats" were.

Genichi wiped out the remaining bandits in the Akita area about 8 years ago.

Eight years ago, Genichi went to Akita for some reasons and learned that a group of bandits named "The Hoji Family" were occupying the top of the mountain and committing evil crimes.

Because he was disgusted with this gang of guys who burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil, Yuan Yi personally set out to wipe them out.

Because it only happened 8 years ago, Genichi still remembers the face of the bandit leader who escaped.

After Ogata and Genichi made a dashing appearance, Hoji immediately showed a hysterical look.

"Hurry! You guys!" Baoji took off a thing wrapped in thick steps from his back and shouted to the six subordinates behind him, "Help me earn time!"

Baoji has a lot of doubts now.

For example: Genichi Kinoshita is really in Edo? Why did he stop in front of me? Was he following and monitoring me just now...

Although there are countless questions, Baosheng doesn't have time to ask them one by one now.

He only has one thought now: kill the bastard who brought him to this point!

The six subordinates behind Baoji were all survivors who narrowly escaped Yuan Yi's butchery eight years ago.

Now seeing their enemies voluntarily appearing in front of them, these six people also grimaced, pulled out the sabers from their waists, and then, while shouting, started to kill Ogata and Genichi.

"Ogata-kun, I leave it to you."

Genichi raised his hand and patted Ogata's shoulder.

"Huh?" Ogata turned to look at Genichi, his eyes that were only exposed outside the mask flashed with astonishment, "Am I the only one coming?"

Ogata looked at Genichi, as if he was telling him: Are you kidding me?! You promised to teach me some sword-wielding skills? Let me fight, what are you teaching?!

Genichi, who understood the meaning of Ogata's eyes, patted Ogata's shoulder again, and then put on a confident look.

"Leave their leader to me, and leave his younger brother to you. By the way, let me see with my own eyes how powerful you are."

The six men had already arrived, and Ogata had no time to argue with Kinoshita.

The eyes exposed outside the mask were fixed on the six people who were only a few steps away, and then he stretched his left and right hands to his waist and pulled out Da Shi Tian and Da Zi Zai.

Since arriving in Edo, I haven't had much opportunity to use the Mugo Nitō-ryu.

Ogata planned to take advantage of this opportunity to regain the skill of the two-sword style.

After these 6 people entered his attack range, Ouri took advantage of his height, long arms, and long sword, and took the lead in launching the attack.

With just two blows, he knocked down the two people closest to him.

The system prompts also continued to play in Ogata's mind.
