Unlike the Oda Army and the Tokugawa Army who were celebrating their victory in a lively manner inside and outside Odawara Castle, Amakihei led his troops to the north of Odawara Castle on the day after the surrender ceremony, relying on the "surround alert" order arranged by Oda Nobunaga.
Ashigara Castle. As one of the most important branch cities of Odawara Castle, Ashigara Castle bears the heavy responsibility of resisting the incoming troops from Kai and Shinano. However, today when Odawara Castle has surrendered, Ashigara Castle seems to be of no importance - the defenders of Ashigara Castle
Having surrendered a few days ago, Yu Qiuping will now lead his army to take over the city. For such a small city, Yu Qiu Hongye, who is the number one general in the world, actually comes in person, which is really surprising.
"Your Highness." After Yu Qiuping entered the city, Amano Jingde, who had been waiting here secretly for a long time, led Yu Qiuping into the dark room.
"Have you been caught?" Yu Qiuping put his head next to Amano Jingde's ear and asked in a low voice.
"Caught. He tried to escape alone to the Kai Mountains. He was blocked by the ninjas who were ambushing below and was captured. However, there were already some Oda family ninjas near Ashigara Castle. I did not dare to fight with them, so there is no one inside or outside Ashigara Castle now.
It can complete the isolation of information." Amano Keide also lowered his voice, "So I sent Fuma Kotaro to the dense forest outside the city. It is safer there. Please disguise yourself later and follow the ninjas of Crow to go out and interrogate Fuma Kotaro.
, must be hidden from the eyes and ears of the Oda family."
"I know it's not good to let the master know about private interrogation of enemy ninjas." Yu Qiuping naturally knew the importance, after all, the matter he wanted to investigate was related to his life experience.
·
After the Hongye Army entered the city, they immediately began to disarm the Hojo family defenders. After Amakihei handed over the troops to Fukushima Yasunari, he immediately changed his clothes and walked out of the city pretending to be an auxiliary soldier carrying weapons, and then
Following the ninjas who came to meet him, he evaded the Oda family's sentries and went all the way into the dense forest to the north of Ashigara Castle. After twists and turns, he came to a small cave. After the ninjas who were on guard at the door confirmed Yu Qiupei's identity, they left him.
He put it into the cave. After walking around the cave for a long time, he entered a soundproof single room made of wooden boards and stones. Yu Qiupei finally saw the person he was looking for - Fuma Kotaro, the leader of the Fuma Ninja of the Hojo family. In Hojo
After Genan was assassinated and Hojo Tsusunari committed seppuku, he became the person with the most secrets in the entire Hojo family.
At this moment, Fuma Kotaro has been tied to a chair by Wu Hua Da, his hand tendons and hamstrings have been severed, and he is still wrapped in chains and shackled. The reason for such perfect security is because Yu Qiuping requires that he be in an unmanned environment.
I will interrogate Fuma Kotaro alone. Considering the difference in force between the two, Yu Qiuping's safety can only be guaranteed by making Fuma Kotaro almost crippled.
After the escorting ninja lit the oil lamp, left an alarm bell for Yu Qiuping, closed the door and left, Yu Qiuping's long-awaited interrogation finally began.
"Feng Mo Kotaro?" After Yu Qiuping sat down on the chair, he asked the strong man with green face and fangs in front of him. However, Feng Mo Kotaro didn't seem to pay attention to Yu Qiuping, and sat on the chair without saying a word, his eyes empty.
He looked at the candlelight behind Yu Qiuping.
"You don't want to show your integrity or loyalty to the Hojo family through so-called contempt and disregard, do you?" Yu Qiuping burst out laughing when he saw this, and looked at Fuma Kotaro with some confusion, "Isn't that right? The Hojo family
Is the famous ninja leader actually such a person?"
Feng Mo Kotaro still ignored Yu Qiuping, but sat there silently.
"It's really difficult to ask you to say a few words. Do you have to use torture?" Yu Qiuping thought of the shocking things that Amano Jingtoku briefly taught him in advance.
Hearing the punishment, he couldn't help but frown.
Fuma Kotaro remained silent, like a corpse, unresponsive to the actions of the outside world.
"Can you give me a reason why you don't speak?" Yu Qiuping straightened up slightly so that he could look directly into Feng Mo Kotaro's eyes. However, there was nothing in Feng Mo Kotaro's eyes, as despairing as the abyss.
He also remained silent.
"Is it because you know your fate of death, so you have no thoughts of survival?" After Yu Qiuping pondered for a moment, he roughly guessed what Feng Mo Kotaro was thinking, "Since the moment I saw you, you
I knew that I was certain to die, because it is taboo for me to secretly interrogate enemy ninjas. If the Oda family finds out, I will get into trouble, so I will definitely not let you fall into the hands of the Oda family, and I will definitely execute you later.
You, whether you said it or not, I will definitely not leave you alive. Is that what you think?"
Feng Mo Kotaro still didn't respond, but Yu Qiuping was used to it by this time.
"But have you ever thought about the possibility that if you come to my side, if you can win my trust and make me believe that you will not go to the Oda family to inform, I can transfer you to a safe place overseas.
In this life." Yu Qiuping tentatively threw out another possibility, but obviously it didn't make Fuma Kotaro change his mind - he remained motionless.
"Forget it, I really don't have time, let's just go ahead." Yu Qiuping sighed, then moved his neck and lowered his voice: "I reached an agreement with you, Master Huan'an, before.
The transaction, for confidentiality reasons, was not told to anyone. It was for that transaction that I took such a big risk to interrogate you in advance. Now I only need you to tell me the whereabouts of the Eight-foot Mirror, and I will intercede and keep it.
The name of the Hojo family. Although you will still die, if you refuse to tell me the whereabouts of the Eight-foot Mirror, the Hojo family will be doomed."
When Yu Qiuping said this, Fuma Kotaro, who had been silent, finally showed an expression. He slowly turned his stiff neck to look at Yu Qiuping, and whispered in a hoarse voice: "How can I believe you?"
"I just lied to you. You have nothing to believe." Yu Qiuping laughed twice and made a playful expression, "I just want to see if you can speak."
"Tell me quickly." However, just now Yu Qiuping refused to open his pockets despite all kinds of pleadings, Fuma Kotaro, but now he suddenly became tough after Yu Qiuping remained silent, "What are you going to do for the Hojo family? How did Master Genan talk to you before he was alive?"
Said?"
"I won't tell you unless you tell me the whereabouts of the Eight-foot Mirror first." Yu Qiuping grinned. In Feng Mo Kotaro's eyes, this was a confident smile, but Yu Qiuping understood that he was just asking for a price.
"If I told you, how would you help the Hojo family?" Fuma Kotaro did not give up, but asked again, "Why do you want that broken mirror? Does his whereabouts mean anything to the Oda family?
?”
"Of course it's useless to the Oda family. I'm afraid you don't know it yet. On the day when Odawara Castle was captured, our lord had already taken out the fake eight-foot mirror that had been prepared and said that it was found in Odawara Castle.
Back to the palace." Yu Qiuping informed Fuma Kotaro about what happened outside, "As for the whereabouts of the authentic product, how can our lord care? The Oda family has great power, and whatever he says is true is true."
"Then what's the use of this mirror?" Fuma Kotaro squinted his eyes, trying to move his hands and feet but was unable to do anything. He just heard bursts of noise.
Heartbreaking pain.
"I won't tell you." Yu Qiuping shook his head firmly, and then asked, "Where is the eight-foot mirror?"
"I don't know." Fuma Kotaro also pushed back.
"The negotiation is over." Yu Qiuping laughed a few times when he saw this, stood up and clapped his hands, reaching out to pull the bell and give the order for the ninja to take him out. Fuma Kotaro became anxious when he saw this, and for the first time lowered his voice
He lowered his posture and said in a weaker tone: "Your Highness Hongye, I really don't know."
"If you don't want to say it, don't say it. I'm not forcing you. Just be prepared for the destruction of the Hojo family and the entire Fuma Ninja family." Yu Qiuping shrugged nonchalantly, "Anyway, I'll spend some time by myself.
, we can also find the eight-foot mirror, I don’t need you.”
"Your Highness... Even if a person is about to die, he can speak well. I will tell you frankly that the Eight-foot Mirror was not stolen by the Hojo family. The series of assassinations in Kinki were not done by the Hojo family. The traitor in Fuma was the one who killed Master Genan.
The bastard traitor who ran away later, how can we help him before we can hunt him down?" Fuma Kotaro saw that Yu Qiuping really no longer seemed to care about the Eight-foot Mirror and was about to leave, and finally became confused, "I don't know.
How did Master Huanan make an agreement with His Highness! But we Fuma Ninjas really don’t know the whereabouts of the Eight-foot Mirror!"
"Didn't I say it? If you don't want to say it, just say it. I don't mean to force you. It's just a private agreement between me and Master Huan'an. I don't mean to force you to abide by it." Yu Qiuping still looked calm.
With a light, nonchalant attitude, he stretched out his hand to pull the bell. Feng Mo Kotaro was completely stupid at this time. He didn't know why Yu Qiuping could be so decisive, but before he died, he had no other hope except Yu Qiuping. He was in embarrassment.
He had no choice but to bow his head and admit defeat:
"Your Highness, I really don't know the whereabouts of the Eight-foot Mirror." Fuma Kotaro looked at Yu Qiuping very sincerely, and bowed slightly with his bruised body under the restraints of the chains, "But I can provide you with other information.
In exchange for this valuable information, I hope you can put in a kind word for the Hojo family."
"If I had known this, why did I have to be so harsh in the first place?" Yu Qiuping sighed, then slowly sat back in his seat and whispered, "Speak quickly, pick the information you think is the most important, I don't have much
Time."
Before Fuma Kotaro spoke, Yu Qiuping added another sentence.
"You are only allowed to say one thing. If the information is not enough to impress me and is not as valuable as the whereabouts of the Eight-foot Mirror, I will not fulfill my promise."
Yu Qiuping's words made Fuma Kotaro lower his head deeply, his whole body was shaking, and the wounds on his hands and feet began to bleed again.
"Your Highness." After a long time, Fuma Kotaro raised his head again, his red eyes seemed to be bleeding.
"Master Gen'an is a person of divine power just like you. His divine power 'Tsukuyomi' is the ability to steal other people's memories by killing them. Master Gen'an has personally executed countless prisoners of war and enemy ninjas throughout his life, and even His Highness Soun
, when His Highness Ujitsuna and His Highness the late Lord Ujiyasu passed away, they would ask Master Genan to make up for them before they died, passing on their memories to Master Genan, who would secretly protect the Hojo family.
If the ninjas in Fuma are seriously injured and cannot be treated, they will be killed by Master Genan. This has been the secret of the strength of Fuma Ninja for decades."
"I'm just a ninja. I don't know what Master Huan'an saw. But Master Huan'an has mentioned to me countless times that the divine power you hold is the strongest in this world and in the Underworld Hirazan.
of."
