Non-Honmaru Inner Honwan [Comprehensive]

Chapter 486

Almost at the same time as he reined in his horse, a sharp arrow passed in front of him and was firmly nailed to the tree trunk!

The worst result still appeared, there was Hashiba Hideyoshi's ambush at Oguri's habitat! !

However, even if he knew that this might be the case, it was impossible for Saburo to change his route in advance and go to Izumi instead of Tanba.Changing lanes is tantamount to sneaking under Hashiba Hideyoshi's eyes for several days. There are only a few places you can go to that will definitely be seen through, and the danger will also increase several times. Hashiba Hideyoshi can tamper with whoever died, when he died, and how he died.Since it is meaningless to change the route, even if the itinerary to Tamba coincides surprisingly with the route taken by Mitsuhide Akechi in history when he was defeated, the swordsmen did not persuade him.

And... Mizoo Shigetomo hasn't heard from him since he returned to Tanba.Almost all the fusangshen who participated in the battle of Honnoji Temple have been reduced to weapons of swords and swords that lost their lives, except Yaken Toshiro, who has not yet been seen.

San Lang's instinctive pull saved his life, but there was more than one cold arrow.The little surnames accompanying him were not as lucky as him, and many people were shot by arrows in the first round of meeting these ambush soldiers, and the already thin team suffered heavy losses.The sound of eating pain, the speech of allegiance whether it was self-hypnosis or inspirational fighting spirit, and the snorting sound of the horse after being forcibly reined in were all intertwined chaotically at this moment.And after the horse stopped, the armor and arrows that were densely packed in the woods near the path and slightly reflected in the moonlight also became clear in San Lang's eyes.

If there is no accident like this... No, even if there is an accident, it will be a doomed situation for Saburo! !It was different from any previous crisis, this time it was not that Saburo had no intention of doing mental calculations, but that he stepped into a trap that others had already prepared for!Even worse than the short meeting with Hashiba Hideyoshi before, the number of people he led this time may not even be able to cover a fraction of the ambushes here. Good luck, is it really so mysterious that it might make him miss an arrow before he escapes the range of the archers

And judging by the number of ambushes, it seems that the team of Hashiba Hideyoshi ambushing here does not have any contingency strategies.

No matter how lucky... it is impossible to resist the absolute difference in strength.

Hashiba Hidecho wanted to see Saburo's expression now.The number of times he has been in contact with Saburo is limited, and the biggest impression of the latter is that he does not play cards according to common sense. Although occasionally he thinks some strange (not belonging to this era) words spoken by the other party are quite interesting, but the cheap brother Hashiba Hideyoshi cared too much about Saburo, and this caring never contained any positive emotions, so he just brushed aside these dust-like interests indifferently.In fact, he did see it—the bright moonlight is enough to clearly illuminate the expression of a person, not to mention that he has excellent eyesight as a ninja.In his field of vision, Saburo was looking towards this side, but even if he found out what the number of people here meant, the face that looked like a young man was still calm, with a slight expression on his face. Anxiety is like his interest in people other than his brother, and it fades away lightly.

"Hey. It seems that Hideyoshi really hates me. Well...forget it."

He heard Saburo said with some distress.

Immediately, the man whom his elder brother had been thinking about was still resolutely giving up looking for a reason, and ran forward again as soon as he pulled the rein!

At this moment, Hashiba Hidecho seemed to have captured some of the reasons why Hashiba Hideyoshi hated and feared Saburo.But almost at the same time, several figures jumped out of his eyes unexpectedly, rushing towards Sanlang impatiently from the shadow of the tree that was originally hidden!

Hashiba Hideaga narrowed his narrow eyes even more, but he didn't intend to catch up to stop him, but silently raised the military fan used for orders, and then swung it down heavily.

As for Saburo, the situation is urgent now, and it is impossible to judge whether this team is an enemy or a friend—it is better to say that they ran out from the enemy's side intact, and they are vanguards no matter how you look at it.Therefore, Taro Tachi and Jiro Tachi appeared almost instantaneously, sandwiching Saburo one after the other, and in the midst of the incomprehensible complaint of "Oh, it's so crowded" from the judge at this time, the blade came out of its sheath and pointed directly at the person who came. , which is not surprising.

And after the team got closer and could barely be illuminated by the moonlight, the two men with big swords vaguely and uncertainly recognized the facial outline of the leading general. Akechi Mitsuhide" intervened Mizoo Motomo.

Mizoo Shigeru was only wearing low-key armor that was no different from that of the cavalry next to him, and his helmet was also ordinary.His face is honest and ordinary, the snow-white face scarf is only tied on the helmet, and his eyes are upturned, somewhat similar to Saburo.Since his back was facing Hashiba Hidecho, he didn't hide his emotions, the worry and anxiety on his face were so sincere that he almost distorted his face, his mouth opened and closed as if he was silently telling Saburo——

...However, just seeing his face clearly is a lot of pressure on Jiro Tachi and Taro Tachi's eyesight, let alone identifying the mouth shape!Saburo himself did not light up this skill either!And if Mizoo Motomo went any further, they would be within their attack range. Since they couldn't judge friend from foe, they would not be able to gamble Mizoo Motomo's goodwill with the safety of the god judge just for this kind of performance!

The cold light on the tip of the knife was stern, and the killing intent was cold and severe.Seeing that Saburo was getting closer and closer, Mizoo Motomo's expression became more and more anxious.Considering that Hidecho Hashiba was right behind, he ventured to make a noise, but he only had time to call out "Nobunaga-kun", and arrows shot out from behind him like rain, heading straight for Saburo!

Mizoo Motomo had no choice but to swallow what he wanted to say, and roared in the rain of arrows: "Hashiba Hidecho!! Are you going to break your promise and kill me here too!!"

In the sound of swishing strings and shooting arrows, Hashiba Hideyoshi also raised his voice, and the voice of responding to the problem sounded as hypocritical as ever: "Oh, don't say that. Betrayed Mr. Akechi If you want to say that I have broken my promise, I really dare not accept it."

He paused, and then continued in that falsely enthusiastic tone: "How could you accidentally stand in such a dangerous position——so, if you step back now, it won't affect you, Zhuang Bingwei (ditch) O Motomo)."

At the end of the words, Hashiba Hidecho's voice has become completely cold and stern, and cannot be violated.He called Mizoo Motomo's "Shohei" without the slightest emotion, because they originally formed an alliance when Mizoo Motomo betrayed Akechi Mitsuhide and took refuge in Hashiba Hideyoshi!Since they have never been together before, this kind of intimate title is nothing more than irony.If Mizoo Motomo really didn't listen to his advice and continued to move forward, Hashiba Hidecho would not be afraid to bring him and Saburo into the attack range!

Mizoo Shigetomo was clearly aware of this.

He confirmed once again that cooperating with the Hashiba brothers is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger.Even under Akechi Mitsuhide's instigation, he had written frequently with the brothers a few months ago, constantly leaking information about Sakamoto Castle, but in fact, even if he did so much, he still couldn't convince them completely.It seems that he is already on the same boat as them, but once this critical moment comes, the Yuchai brothers will still choose to do it themselves, and always guard against his betrayal!This is because the Hashiba brothers are extremely suspicious, and they will not be willing to take advantage of the situation unless they are sure; it is also the brothers, especially the elder brother Hashiba Hideyoshi, who are so afraid of Oda Nobunaga that even if there is only one person left in the latter, they will use thousands of people Assassinate.

... In that Hideyoshi's heart, perhaps because he has been under Oda Nobunaga for a long time, he has unknowingly regarded the latter as an almost insurmountable mountain, so when gambling everything to assassinate, he would rather spend a lot of money afterwards Trying hard to whitewash it, I didn't dare to bring a little less troops, and I didn't even dare to lay down an ambush.

However, to allow Mizoo Motomo, who obviously did not have their trust, to join under such prudence, he has put his fangs on Mizoo Motomo's neck!Especially Mizoo Shigetomo himself was told beforehand that he was the main force of the attack, and he secretly rejoiced that he could finally live up to the entrustment, and now it seems so ridiculous.Leaving aside the fact that Oguri is not the only place where there is an ambush, just say that Oguri is here, Hashiba Hidecho's ambush is more than twice as strong as his.At present, only the archers behind him are shooting arrows, but in fact, there are other ambushes on Sanlang's front and back. Once he rushes in the wrong direction, he will become a sieve in minutes!As for the only gap left, Mizoo Motomo also suspected that Hidecho Hashiba had arranged it long ago, but he didn't know what it was.Just look at the current situation... Even if Mizoo Shigeru rushed forward to protect Saburo with his men and horses with a mortal heart, they would just end up being killed on the spot with Saburo!

For the current plan, is there really only one way...

No matter what Mizoo Motomo thought, the people over there and Fu Sangshen had already responded.In order to protect Saburo to the greatest extent, Jiro Tachi and Taro Tachi imitated the appearance of when they first became the Oda Family Fusangshin, and they were no longer seen as soon as they came out, just to reduce the burden on the horses and the confusion that may have. enemy.But even if they are all big knives with a wider range of combat, it is still difficult to cut down the dense arrow rain!Those little surnames still had time to drive their horses to the side of San Lang to block the arrows, but this was just to pay for all the people who were not San Lang, so as to buy a meager escape time for San Lang.Under Mizoo Shigeru's intense gaze, Saburo made a judgment almost instantly, neither forward nor backward, but galloped in the direction opposite to Mizoo Shigeru's and Hashiba Hidenaga's sideways.Under the dense arrows, he was caught between two fusangshen and was intact, but the body of the horse was unavoidable. He neighed for a while, ran wildly, and plunged into the forest in the direction Sanlang wanted. middle!

——That turned out to be the current ambushes on three sides, the only gap to struggle for more time.

Even though Mizoo Motomo, who was already worried about Saburo, couldn't help but feel complicated about Saburo's choice at this time, he still cheered up and deliberately waited where he was.When Hashiba Hideaga immediately led his troops to follow up, he taunted first: "Mr. Hidecho, so is this the reason why I couldn't chase after you at the first time?"

Hashiba Hidecho looked at him and showed a kind smile: "I'm sorry, but anyway, Nobunaga is only left with him and the two Koga ninjas now. Don't mind so much, Shohei, we can still have a good time. cooperative, right?"

"It's no fun being taught by my brother."

Mizoo Shigeru wanted to go and chase alone, but it was obvious that Hashiba Hidecho was a very assertive person.Even if he said that he was "eager to do meritorious service" and "do not want to be with you", I am afraid it would be difficult to get rid of this guy, so he could only respond with flickering eyes and feigned displeasure, suppressing the anxiety in his heart again, and walked towards Saburo's departure Look in the direction.

Because although Hidecho Hashiba advanced...but he didn't give instructions to the archers to stop shooting arrows.

Although the weight of the men with swords cannot be calculated with the weight of ordinary people, after they became visible, the burden on the horses obviously increased, and they began to pant after a while, and they were still running wildly due to the residual pain.This kind of wild running is naturally perfect for the current situation, but since it is controlled by pain, it is naturally difficult for the rider to change lanes to avoid obstacles in the first place.especially--

Saburo complained: "I can't see it."

In particular, although the two Fu Sangshen pinched Saburo one after the other to prevent him from being injured, they were too tall, and Saburo couldn't see the front at all! !

And it would be even more impossible to let Taro Tachi control the horses.The shadows of the trees are whirling, and the tiny light spots leaking from the branches and leaves are not enough for lighting. The two big swords are basically blind in the woods, and because the blades are too long, it is difficult to use them in such a narrow and obstructive environment. Spread your hands and feet.Those arrows are still being shot, even if many of them hit the tree trunk and bounced off, the rest are enough to pose a threat!

So what is the fate of the devil to let the great sword into the woods!

Even if you want to complain, there is no way to choose the combat environment right now, and the two Fu Sangshen who came from the shrine are quite calm about this.Jiro Tachi leaned against Saburo's back, and the dark long sleeves made his exposed arms and calves more like snow, not to mention that he already had red lips and white teeth and had meticulously traced his makeup.Right now the horse is bumping, the hairpin and the big bar on his head are shaking constantly, the broken hair slips out of the bun and is scattered on the cheeks and shoulders, at first glance it looks quite delicate and moving.But those arrows are still flying towards him, not because the ashigaru under Hashiba Hideaga's command are as hard-hearted as him and unwavering, but because the Hashiba brothers have grown up from infancy and know that The importance of orders and prohibitions is extremely strict; secondly, such a charming and charming person (Fu Sangshen), who looks like an oiran (Fu Sangshen), can easily swing the big sword that is difficult for ordinary people to use into a full circle, and clang those dangerous people. The arrows are protected outside, and the forearm muscles that slip out of the wide sleeves are also very strong.

I have never seen the sword man's terrifying lethality that is far higher than ordinary people. The Odachi man also avoided contact with these humans because of Saburo's safety and the surrounding environment. Therefore, apart from secretly marveling, the archers never Thought of backing down, he was still diligently repeating the action of bowing and shooting arrows.

In fact, Jiro Tachi seems to dance the main body Odachi tightly, but in fact only he himself knows the problem.Due to various reasons, he can only protect Saburo's back to the greatest extent in this way. Although the blade is extremely sharp, and it is as easy as chopping melons and vegetables around the arms-thin trees, it is only easy , does not mean that it has no effect on the swing speed.As long as the blade is held back by these surrounding obstacles for a moment and slowed down for a moment, arrows may break in through the gap, but fortunately he is bigger, even if he misses a few arrows, it will at most fall on the horses, or even the arrows. His own body will not kill the god judge.His elder brother Taro Taro had a longer blade than him, and because of his severe vision problems, he could only lean sideways to give Saburo a gap to see the road, and held the knife in one hand and rested on Saburo's hand holding the rein tightly with the other. .Whenever the horse was about to hit a tree in a rampage, Taro Tachi would forcefully pull the bridle in the direction that Saburo was pulling to force the horse to turn!And the lush trees are hard to avoid completely, and he is not afraid—when the big sword is swung violently, with a windy posture different from that handsome and upright face, all the surrounding trees are cut off, and the logs fall to the ground and branches The sounds of breaking kept interlacing and blocked behind them!

Even in the current ridiculous state of three riding on one horse, with only them guarding Saburo's poor team, the two Fusangshen are so reliable——

Even with pale bones, their heads poke out from their collars like winding snakes.

"What a pity." Seeing that Saburo's figure had sneaked into the forest for a while, Hashiba Hidecho finally signaled the archers to stop and stop doing useless work, and when he turned to Mizoo Shigeru, he was able to maintain his brisk tone , "Come after me, Zhuang Bingwei."

Mizoo Shigetomo could only say angrily: "Don't order me! Since I have surrendered to Mr. Hashiba, I will naturally help him. Just take care of yourself!"

Immediately afterwards, he unceremoniously shouted to the team under his command, "Follow me!!", and once again rushed towards the position where Sanlang left!

Odachi is excellent in solving obstacles, but the relative shortcoming is that the cleared road cannot cover Saburo's whereabouts at all, and the blood stains and broken trees are all obvious.Mizoo Shigeru knew that there was no possibility of releasing water at the moment, so he simply brought his troops to show full enthusiasm, and didn't want to really help Hashiba Hidecho, so he directly bypassed the messy piled up broken logs and followed Saburo Yue The figure who ran further and further chased after him.And Hashiba Hideaga didn't have any objections. Instead, he easily changed his formation first, letting the ashigaru people line up in a long line, and then walked forward from the side path unhurriedly, not even completely in the direction of Saburo.

Having almost understood the strong murderous intent of the Hashiba brothers towards Saburo, Mizoo Motomo suddenly had a bad feeling about this abnormal behavior.

This premonition soon came true on his own team—just a moment later, a cavalryman in his team fell down with his horse and man, and immediately reported to him that a beast trap in the forest broke the horse leg!

And when the No. 2 cavalry also fell down, Mizoo Motomo understood that these beast traps were not accidental.

...Whether Hashiba Hideyoshi realizes it or not, while he is fiercely resenting Saburo, his own obsession with strength and his behavior of actively making up for the lack of knowledge brought about by his birth are all urging him to learn the best knowledge he can see. excellent part.In what he saw, what Saburo did must play an important role, so Hashiba Hideyoshi's unafraid to use massacres, preference for fire attacks, and even the current tricks... all have the shadow of Saburo.The more he wants to pull Saburo down from the clouds, the more he fits Saburo in his marching thinking and tactics. Even though he was born in Imagawa and always carries hatred, it will be difficult to get rid of the traces of Saburo left on him in this life.

Mizoo Shigetomo is not familiar with Saburo and Hashiba Hideyoshi, let alone see through their thoughts.However, he still has another advantage, called Akechi Mitsuhide as the former master.

So far, how many of the battles under the name of "Oda Nobunaga" that Hashiba Hideyoshi has understood are actually at the hands of Akechi Mitsuhide?

Mizoo Shigetomo did not dare to say how much he knew his former master.After all, Akechi Mitsuhide always had such a detached appearance that he didn't want to communicate with others, and he didn't even know the secret of the former master's appearance until not long ago.But in all fairness, even if he is not an amazingly talented general, Mizoo Shigetomo's talent is not ordinary. If he wanted to, he would have been able to break away from Akechi Mitsuhide's command and be recommended by Akechi Mitsuhide to become Oda's vassal.But he was impressed by Akechi Mitsuhide's many achievements while dragging his sick body, and also by the noble character of the former master who rarely cared about things, and even more impressed by the sharp, gentle, tolerant and absolutely deficient character of the other party, who dared to cut grass and roots. Decisiveness and ruthlessness.

Even if Akechi Mitsuhide gave him the "wise" surname, it didn't matter if he failed to teach him more.He had gazed at his lord long enough for him to be guided by it.

If Mitsuhide Akechi is here... If you judge by Mitsuhide Akechi's lifelong persistence! !

"Give me an arrow!!"

——He sacrificed Saburo's guards and Yaken Toshiro's colleagues for this, and he would not hesitate to do so!

The heavy arrow rustled forward, because the distance between the two sides was not that big, so it fell heavily beside Saburo and his party, and because of its strength, it was no longer able to be solved by Jiro Tachi's light round blade, as long as it hit the inevitable When the angle of the blade is deflected, even for a blade that is more important than toughness and sharpness, every impact seems to hurt silently.At the same time, Mizoo Shigetomo's cavalry team separated into the front and back, and the front row held spears to advance two positions, and kept sweeping the ground with the spears to touch possible animal traps in advance, so that the whole team could continue in this rhythm. Continue to run towards Saburo without hindrance!

As for Sanlang, although he didn't touch the animal trap, he couldn't run very far.

The horse was at the end of its strength, and even though it was still being injured, its pace had changed subtly compared to before, and it might die suddenly at any time.And the two Fu Sangshen had already silently turned towards the retrograde army. Although they could still maintain a clear mind, their reaction speed had begun to weaken, and the pain from the invasion of filth was also hindering their movements.Even because they are all from shrines, their spiritual power is purer than ordinary Fusangshen, and the counteraction between this filth and spiritual power is even more intense.

However, if it wasn't because they were born in a shrine that they could maintain their sanity better, how could they escort Saburo?

The arc of the Odachi, which was originally swung like a full moon, finally had a gap.Those snake-like bone spurs growing inch by inch from the tailbone and climbing up almost interrupted their efforts for a moment for every inch they grew, and the accompanying arrows made the situation worse.Jiro Tachi couldn't see which direction the arrow was coming from and who was signaling, but even though his chest and arms were almost surrounded by those snake-like spines, he could still make a clear judgment and knew that he was powerless to defend against everything. I also know that my body blade cannot withstand such a blow.The sporadic metal opening and closing sounds occasionally aroused by those heavy arrows landed did not arouse his interest at all. The only thing he wanted to choose to do, and the last thing he could do for the god judge, was to temporarily put down the body boldly, at the top Facing the risk of the arrows piercing the flesh, he tied himself tightly behind Saburo with a belt.

That tall and strong body can still block Saburo tightly at this moment.And after doing this kind of behavior that I don't know how to evaluate, his voice was still brisk, and he even laughed twice happily.

"Brother and I, that's the end of it... After all, it's a battle. There's no way, as a reward for being invited to drink by you all the time, let's protect you until the end, my lord."

As if echoing his words, Taro Tachi also said: "Yes, it seems that this is the end... The world is too short."

Those terrifying, exposed bones seemed to be a little more elegant because of their calm attitude at the moment.But even so, they still persistently led the judge and the horse that might die from exhaustion at any time, and continued to move forward resolutely.

Saburo, who was caught in the middle, sighed softly and childlike as usual.

"You don't have to do this for me. It's okay for Xiaoguang, but it turns out that even you are the same. Whenever you encounter me, everything will become so heavy—"

"That's not the case." Taro Tachi, who had his back to Saburo, had already begun to hoarse, and said calmly, "It's not because of you that he became heavy, we, and Mr. Wise, are just hoping from the bottom of our hearts, Your destiny can be changed, and you just have to work hard for that day."

"You may not feel it...but, even if everything is just a doomed history, the years we have spent with you and the many things you have experienced are real. Jiro and I are not here for'Oda Nobu Long', not for 'Akechi Mitsuhide'...just for you."

"We, I am deeply grateful for the tolerance, trust and support you have given us. Therefore, I hope that our strength can become your strength——"

"Since you are not a person of this world, why should you be controlled by history and die here!"

The bone fragments growing from Fu Sangshen's back covered his whole body after all. Whether those last words came from Fu Sangshen's own will or were influenced by the time-traveling army, no one can explain clearly.The sharp horns pierced his scalp and grew outwards, and then bonded inwards with the skull. Odachi's originally strong and tight muscles swelled up in an instant as if being stretched by something inside, and his already tall physique changed. The body became stronger and stronger, and the skin became haggard and pale, only the hand holding the blade of the body still had a little outline of well-defined bones and slender fingers.After becoming a retrograde army, Fu Sangshen's thinking should disappear, and it is difficult to control himself, just like the one-stage shock at that time, but it still holds the blade of the body, and loses the "Taro Tai Sword" little by little on the sharp white blade When it turned into a non-distinctive standard blade, it stood firm and silent in front of Saburo, not even revealing the gap to watch the road.

It was so reassuring.

Mizoo Shigetomo finally caught up at this time.

The moment he saw Saburo, his eyes lit up.Under his secret gesture, the trusted troops dispatched by him quickly dispersed, and gradually approached and shrunk in a semi-encircled state while Hashiba Hidecho was not approaching.The ghost-like character who was tightly bound by a gorgeous belt and blocked behind Saburo looked over blankly. The arrows that penetrated into the flesh and blood on his body still stayed inside even after the transformation, but the blood left by the wound had already disappeared. It turned from dark red to pitch black, and it was still trickling down, but it didn't prevent it from raising its knife and screaming at Mizoo Shigetomo and others with unknown meanings.

The horse finally stretched to the limit, and the front hoof snapped in response, and immediately everyone on the horse fell forward uncontrollably!

Hashiba Hidecho did not approach.He set many traps in the forest, and he naturally knew exactly where they were placed, so he chose a completely safe path and went around in circles to pursue them.Since he chose to ambush here, of course he has thoroughly grasped the surrounding terrain. He even knows exactly which side is too densely wooded and which side hides deep pits, let alone where he and the ditch When Omomo came after him, the ambushes who had been buried in the front and rear and hadn't appeared for a while had already regrouped and surrounded the area under his hint.

But seeing that Saburo seemed to be overtaken by Shigeru Mizoo, he still stretched his body, raised the loaded iron cannon, and aimed at Saburo expressionlessly.

——Just like his elder brother Hashiba Hideyoshi.As a ninja, the more he is at such an important juncture, the more he can only trust himself.

After capturing the moment when Saburo fell, he calmly pulled the trigger.

Those things that turned into ghosts couldn't shake his heart for a moment, but these two guys were too big.But to put it another way, no matter how huge it is, it can protect Oda Nobunaga's front and back tightly. Can this kind of cold arrow from the side still be prevented?

The sound of the lead bullet being dragged out of the chamber made Mizuo Shigeru feel flustered, he subconsciously wanted to charge towards Saburo, but the horse was still not faster than the bullet after all, and it was impossible for him to have the eyesight to see the trajectory of the bullet I can only watch--

——Looking at the gap between Saburo and Taro Taidao, Yizheng has almost morphed into a snake bone, but is more ferocious than the enemy's short sword, just like "Kunai", a higher line in the time-traveling army, suddenly jumped up to replace Saburo After receiving this blow, the same snake-like skull shattered!

This is like a replay of the moment when Oda Nobunaga of the retrograde army withdrew.

Mizoo Shigeru had no time to savor this sense of fate, and he was belatedly letting go of the breath he brought up.But before he was completely relieved, the second shot came.

...Compared to shooting arrows with a bow, or reloading and reloading, the speed of changing iron cannons is really faster.

At this moment, the blood that exploded from the side of Saburo's neck was imprinted in the eyes of Mizoo Motomo and Hashiba Hidenaga at the same time.

Yuchai Xiuchang paused every word with a smile: "This is the truth, although I leave it to you."

Shigeru Mizuo cracked his eyes, and without caring about anything else, he rolled off his horse and staggered onto Sanlang!His cronies lined up behind him one step at a time, blocking Hashiba Hidecho's prying sight one step at a time, watching him ignore the threats of two guards who had completely turned into ghosts, and went to test Saburo's intentions. breath!

The swordsmith who no longer forged knives in Antu City, but was only waiting for the sword and the god judges in the corner also seemed to have suffered a serious injury at this moment. The cracks spread from the neck to the whole body, and suddenly collapsed! !

The former governor of the Oda family, who was supposed to be shot and whose appearance has not changed for many years, was surrounded by two retrograde military tai swords, breathing evenly, and fell asleep like a child.

【...So cut off the part stained with blood and poured it into this puppet as a primer. 】

Many years ago, someone pointed to the knife maker and said this to Saburo.

After confirming that Saburo was alive, Mizoo Motomo, who knew nothing about these conversations, could no longer bear the joy and sorrow, and burst into tears.He had no time to think about why San Lang had blood on his skirt but no wound on his neck, nor could he think about why San Lang, who was still awake just now, fell into a deep sleep in an instant.He couldn't even waste another second of time that Hidecho Hashiba couldn't get close to, wasting on waking up Saburo and entrusting him, so he could only weep silently while gritted his teeth and said firmly: "It's now, Yaken Toshiro."

When he said these words, most of the strength in his body seemed to be emptied, and he seemed to have aged a few years.

Yakuken Toshiro, who has been missing for a long time, is like a fairy in the lower world in the myth, his figure emerges from nothing and gradually becomes clear.

The only short sword Fusangshen who still maintains a complete human appearance is clutching a box the size of a human head, looking at Saburo with indistinguishable complex eyes.During the period when Yaken Toshiro disappeared, he actually kept holding on to the box like this, not daring to leave the body or relax, and followed Mizoo Shigeru in a posture that was not seen by others until Mizoo O Momo said that with certainty.Even because he had held it too tightly for too long, his knuckles had already turned blue and white, rigidly fixed into the arc of the box, and it was so painful to even remove it from the box.

Among the people present, Saburo was the only one who was not lucky enough to see what was inside.

As if still carrying the smoke from the fire of the Honnoji Temple, the head of the young man with fair complexion and exactly the same appearance as Saburo just lay there quietly, smiling peacefully as if falling into some beautiful dream.

...Even this kind of smile seems to coincide with Saburo's sleeping face at this moment.
