Non-Honmaru Inner Honwan [Comprehensive]

Chapter 397

Leaving aside Tokugawa Ieyasu's gloomy appearance and excited return, the extreme changes caused Tokugawa's retainers to once again doubt from the bottom of his heart whether Saburo had cast some kind of curse on him—only the history of this time The incident was still completed without the sword men intervening at all. The sword men sent by Hasebe to Tokugawa's house in advance, and it took a long time to touch the place where Xinkang was, were of no use at all... Because when they saw Xinkang, Xinkang had already been decapitated and his stomach was broken! !

Sword Man: "..."

I'm afraid it's time to make it clear to Yaki Hasebe and let him stop worrying about it.

Although Hasebe once again made a miscalculation, there was indeed a time retrograde army around Tokugawa Shinyasu this time.It is precisely because of paying too much attention to these sudden enemies that the swordsmen missed the moment of Tokugawa Nobuyasu's seppuku—although it doesn't matter if they make a mistake or not, their purpose is not to research history.But what they care about is that this time retrograde military operation is particularly different... First, they did not show the same strong aggressiveness as before, and second, they have a very clear purpose, but this purpose does not seem to be for Tokugawa Xinkang.

Whether it's the man with the sword or the time-traveling army, Tokugawa Nobuyasu's residence, time of death, and even the person who beheaded him are all known.Although according to the previous experience of the sword men, it is impossible to be 100% exactly the same as what they know, but generally speaking, there will not be much change.At that time, except Tokugawa Nobuyasu, the life and death of no other historical figure could have an impact on history. Therefore, in theory, the appearance of the time retrograde army should be to change the fate of Tokugawa Nobuyasu.

...But the fact is that the time-traveling army ignored Tokugawa Nobuyasu at all, and was just circling outside the house.Their staff this time also seemed to have a considerable degree of intelligence. They cleverly avoided the patrolling ashigaru, sneaked into the house secretly, and shuttled from room to room.Compared with the "commanders" that the men with swords and swords have seen, they can't speak, but their IQs are not inferior to those of the time-traveling army - just not inferior to them.Except for the simple and rough snooping opportunity at the beginning when they climbed over the wall, they hardly had any more elaborate actions, and their personnel were not scattered, which invisibly increased the possibility of being discovered for themselves, all relying on their speed being fast enough. Caught by the foot light.After consciously confirming that there were no people they were looking for in the many rooms on the outermost floor, they ran to the room where Tokugawa Shinyasu died without any hesitation.

At that time, the men with swords were ready to fight!Just wait for the time-traveling army to advance a little more, and then you can decisively attack with a knife and then fight hand-to-hand!

It's a pity that the time retrograde army didn't approach at all.Tokugawa Nobuyasu was simply cut up and beheaded before the two of them arrived, and he died so badly that there was no room for these guys who claimed to "revise history" to save them.At the same time, the time-traveling army didn't have much reaction to his body-at least not as Tsurumaru Kuninaga described, trying to take some means to make Tokugawa Shinyasu's soul solidify before taking it away.They just stayed there quietly for a few seconds, as if they were just confirming whether there was what they were looking for in the house, and the innate hostility that would unfold every time they saw Toujian Fusangshen was suppressed by themselves, even those who were close at hand Men with swords can pretend to turn a blind eye.

Before Tokugawa Nobuyasu (beheaded) Tianfang Tonggang noticed these uninvited guests outside the house, the time-traveling army retreated without any regrets, leaving only the one who temporarily prevented himself from being seen by humans for convenience. The men of swords are still at the ready.

...Thanks to the sword men assigned by Yaki Hasebe this time, there was no shortage of short swords and wings. Relying on their speed and reflexes, they quickly chased after them, and happened to see the scene where the time-traveling army disappeared.

"...I always feel a little familiar."

"It's the magic circle, right? It's the same as the one that appeared during the expedition." Hearing the murmur of Toshiro Toshiro softly, Imaken answered naturally, "—although I can't remember the specifics of the magic circle during the expedition. It looks like it, but it seems roughly the same.”

The short knife boy with white hair and red eyes tapped his cheek.

"It's been too long since I went on an expedition, I forgot."

Although the time-traveling army often has to fight to the death with the sword men, and one side has been wiped out (usually the time-traveling army is wiped out), but they have really appeared and retreated through the magic circle. .How they appear specifically is because it is difficult for the swordsmen to predict their exact location, so they have not observed them up close for the time being, and only remember the white light circulating in the grass.And the rare times when the time-traveling army retreated (for example, the Sankatahara joint battle failed to kill Tokugawa Ieyasu), and the swordsmen also had to watch the time-traveling army retreat vigilantly because they wanted to protect historical figures.This time, it was the first time they saw each other disappear at close range.

Now the expedition mentioned by the sword... Gentlemen!Do you still remember that once upon a time, Saburo once started the wonderful operation of letting the sword man send letters (delivery information) in an expedition way!

That's right, that's how it works.Probably because the expedition involves things such as "teleportation" and "space replacement", so it is different from the command "go out". The magic circle will not disappear until the "expedition" is completed and the sword man returns.Now it is rare to see the process of the disappearance of the time-traveling army - although it is not known whether the magic circle when they came is also of the same kind, but at least the huge picture under the feet when they left has been remembered by the bone scorpion Toshiro.

If you think about it carefully, this kind of detachment from reality, as if jumping from the scientific side to the mysterious side at once, actually makes sense.Originally, Daojian Fusangshen was just a weapon with a human form, and the adaptability to the sword equipment, the resonance of spiritual power, etc. seemed reasonable at first glance, but in fact it was more like a pseudo-scientific setting based on their inhuman essentially.The most important thing is that the men with swords "originally" should exist in the "Honmaru" of the time government instead of the Azuchi and Gifu that Saburo has designated as the Honmaru. This also determines that if they want to "maintain history" according to the normal track , there must be a process of "traveling through time and space".

In the same way, it is impossible for the 4000 million time-traveling army to stay in this era (although they have already stayed a lot).Therefore, whether it is a swordsman or a time-traveling army, they must "go back and forth". The only problem is that the props that can support them from their location (base camp or Honmaru) to their destination (a certain place in a certain era in history) use what kind of energy? Initiation—Judging from the fact that the government of time is frantically searching for people with spiritual power to serve as god judges, the so-called energy is probably spiritual power, and it is not surprising that there is such a thing as a magic circle.

To be honest, what surprised the sword men a little bit was the similarity between the time retrograde army and the sword Fusangshen in this matter again.Their "expedition" order was temporarily shelved after California Kiyomitsu clearly informed of the risk of changing history. Formation pays attention subconsciously—in fact, even Jinjian, who has always been innocent, lively and carefree, has unconsciously remembered more about the "expedition" back then.

The pitch-black circle that appeared on the ground, strange patterns, distorted Chinese characters, hiragana, and katakana lit up one after another, glowing white.This is mostly similar to the magic circle under the foot of the time-traveling army today.The time was too tight and the magic circle was too bright, Gukuu Toshiro only memorized a small part of the pattern above, but the number of men with swords and swords they dispatched this time is relatively large, and if they piece together, they should be able to draw a rough picture look like.

Moreover, although the formation of the expedition will disappear after they return to the city, it was also left behind by the smiling face Qing Jiang during the sudden visit to the "Government of Time"—I don't know if it is still released now. In the hands of Smiling Qingjiang, it was still handed over to Tsurumaru Kuninaga.

Don't think about more things-after all, Tokugawa Nobuyasu is dead, and it is meaningless for the sword man to stay.Therefore, they temporarily took out paper and pens from an unknown Japanese room in the Tokugawa family, and while their memory was still fresh, they temporarily drew the part that Fusangshen remembered, and then hurried back to Azuchi.

Since then, the last historical event worthy of the attention of swordsmen this year has finally come to an end.

Afterwards, no matter whether it is Saburo watching the Cuju performance, hawk hunting or hosting the tea party, there is no danger of being spied on by the time retrograde army. Stealing the treatment back to the base camp, and attacking Saburo will in turn be constrained by historical events.The only thing that was slightly tragic in the last few months of the year, the execution of Araki Murashige's family members and retainers, did not have the weight to shake history.

Therefore, during this period of time, what attracted the sword men's attention was the expedition formation map that Akechi Mitsuhide sent to Saburo when he reported the complete suppression of Tanba and Tango. up!

But everything is a small problem - under the pressure of the time-traveling army, the men with swords and swords are united unprecedentedly. Except for the small flaws in the delivery time caused by the distance, it makes no difference in whose hands the things are placed.

To distinguish the difference between formations is still left to Kasen Kanesada—Fu Sangshen, who is as elegant and knowledgeable as a literati when he is out of battle, is proficient in calligraphy and painting appreciation, and his sensitivity to patterns is much stronger than other swordsmen. People can't think of the origin of "Song Fairy" in his name at all.Only around the New Year, he has already listed the places that he can compare and see clearly, and solemnly announced it in front of other Fusangshen——

"Comparing the government of time (expedition circle) and the retrograde army (the circle when leaving), the hiragana and katakana partly overlap, but I tried to combine the hiragana and katakana in the two circles. Combining katakana separately, there are too few sentences that can get actual meaning. I prefer this as a kind of 'positioning'." Kasen Kanesada said, "For example, those repeated katakana may point to the same point when we are going back. The fixed point is 'a certain place on a certain day in 1579' - but don't embarrass me for more in-depth guesses, because I am a literary knife - at least on the outside. I am not good at calculations and the like. "

The swordsmen Qiqi expressed their understanding of this - at this time, it is really impossible to demand that the swordsmen can develop politically, history, mathematics, physics and chemistry in an all-round way.

"Afterwards, there are patterns—let's not talk about the (magic circle) on the expedition side, but the time-traveling army's is very interesting." Speaking of his own discovery, Kasen Kanesada frowned first, and then hesitantly waited for Gukuu Toshiro I tried my best to piece together, but still some incomplete patterns clicked on the corners, "These are not patterns, but deformed characters. If the distance between the top and bottom of these patterns is shortened, such as semi-arc places become Cheng Zhiji...it should be the words 'All under Heaven Buwu'."

In order to make his colleagues understand more clearly, he immediately added a sentence: "It is the words printed on the master's 'Tian Xia Bu Wu Zhu Yin'."

Sword Man: "..."

Wait a moment!What's the situation!

That is to say, the time-traveling army came to attack Oda Nobunaga while writing "Tianxia Buwu" in the circle!What's wrong with this!

Replace tomorrow.
