The moment the gunshots, both brothers were stunned.
Because the place where the smoke of gunfire was not the direction of Changpan's iron cannon platoon, but the other side of the crowd.
They were dozens of black-clothed ninjas - all of them. They held iron cannons, and seemed to have arrived in a hurry not long ago, hiding in the woods there. The commander was Yu Qiuyu's master, the crow's leader, and Amano Keito in black.
The smoke gradually dissipated, and the wind brought a strong smell of blood. Under the volley of the past round, more than 30 people who escaped fell down, and the rest were scared in a pool of blood, looking at the corpses around them in disbelief. They staggered in the muddy land soaked in blood, not understanding why they appeared in such a purgatory on earth.
·
After asking clearly, these people were originally from two villages in the north. Because they couldn't survive the famine these days, they wanted to escape to the south, but we just happened to be hit by us. After interrogating the people who were guarded like rice dumplings, a crow ninja reported to Amano Kyoto. At this moment, he was standing on the high slope just now, with the brothers Yuqiu Shang Yuqiuyuu, and Takenaka Shigeji and Fukushima Ansei who came after hearing the news.
Innocent people. Although Takenaka Shigeji had long expected that this was roughly the case, when the crow's ninja said this fact in person, the anger on his face could no longer be restrained. Since I first met you, a crow, you have been killing innocent people. Until now, you are still doing such things. Why are there scum like you around your Highness?
Lord Takenaka, you can't say that to my master. Amano Keidu did not answer without an expression, but Yu Qiuyu retorted loudly, no one wants to do these dirty things, but someone at home always needs to do these things! If my master hadn't arrived in time and stopped the people in time, the consequences would be unimaginable! They fled into the woods, and if someone encountered the rebels of Ji Yi and leaked the news, the plan would be over.
This is not a reason to kill innocent people indiscriminately, and there is no excuse to even make an excuse. Takenaka Shigeji snorted coldly, without saying anything more.
This is not a casual killing of innocent people, it is a sacrifice that has to be made for the interests of the Yuqiu family and the plans of the Red Leaf Army! How could we kill the people at will! This is a last resort! Takenaka Shigeji's expression made Yuqiuyou feel that he was insulted and raised his tone and shouted.
The sacrifice that had to be made? Haha, it was quite similar to what the crow said before was chaos and then Ji. Takenaka Shigeji looked at Yu Qiuyu with some disappointment, and then immediately turned his angry eyes to Amano Keidu. How did you teach the second young master to be like this? Do you want to teach him to be a scum like you? How could Your Highness entrust the second young master to you?
Let's stop at the right time. Amano Keido shook his head, and there was some turbulence in his tone for the first time. If the second young master had not taken action in time just now, letting these villagers escape, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
Takenaka Shigeji frowned and was about to continue speaking, but he was interrupted by Keidu Amano waved his hand and said: After so many years, Lord Takenaka still doesn’t understand, can you convince me of your statement of light and righteousness? What’s the point of saying it again? That’s just a wishful thinking between Lord Takenaka and Your Highness.
Yes, it makes no sense to say it to you, but the second young master is different. Takenaka Shigeji sighed helplessly and shook his head.
I think Master Amano is right, I did nothing wrong. However, Yu Qiuyu did not take advantage of the donkey, but raised his head again and retorted, "My Lord Takenaka, I respect you very much. But in this matter, Master Amano and I have no mistakes in making this decision. If it were my father here, he would make the same judgment.
My father would not do such a thing. Before Yu Qiuyou finished speaking, Yu Qiushang shouted loudly and said, "Dad has never done such a cruel and unkind thing for more than ten years! Ayou, you don't repent, but you are proud of it! You really said that Yu Qiushang seemed so angry that he couldn't speak. He stumbled for a few consecutive times but couldn't finish this sentence.
There is no time to argue, our time is very limited. Amano Keiduo saw Yu Qiuyu refuting his brother and reached out to stop him. Yu Qiuyu, who is always a little reckless, listened to Amano Keiduo's words very much, and immediately fell silent when he saw this.
Execute all those people, buried them on the spot, clean up the scene, and leave no traces. Amano Kyoto ordered the crows behind him, "Let's hurry up, we don't have much time, we're going to continue our march soon."
What are you going to do? After hearing the orders of Amano Keidu, Shigeji Takenaka and Yu Qiusheng both exclaimed in surprise. Even Yu Qiuyu turned his surprise and panic toward Amano Keidu.
We don't have any extra troops and ninjas to control them, and everyone is precious now. Besides, keeping a living mouth is always a threat. Not to mention that they may escape quietly and leak the news. Even if they spread rumors about the Red Leaf Army massacre of civilians in the future, it will be unfavorable to His Highness's reputation. While explaining to Takenaka Shigeji and Yu Qiushang, Amano Kyoto arranged tasks with gestures to several subordinates without changing his face.
Rumors? Is it a rumor? Are those dozens of corpses a rumor? Takenaka Shigeji laughed furiously. He was always gentle and rude and shouted at Amano Keito with some rudeness, "Why didn't you think about your reputation when you massacred civilians just now? Killing dozens of people is not enough. Do you have to kill all the remaining 100 people? Can't you imprison them?
Lord Takenaka, the soldiers are in danger, and you have been fighting for more than ten years. You will not be confused about the dangers of this plan. Once the news leaks, it will be a failure. While taking out the command arrow from your arms, Amano Keiduo whispered, "I do this to be responsible for the lives of thousands of soldiers from all over the Takatani. Is their lives important or the lives of these people important?" Do you know in your heart? Every one of our troops is precious now, and there is no extra person to stay to guard them. Besides, staying to guard them increases the risk of exposing your whereabouts. If Lord Takenaka feels dissatisfied, you can impeach me in person when your Highness comes back. But now-Amano Keiduo drags his tone and passes the command arrow into the hand of the Han Ninja, and glances at Takenaka Shigeji coldly. I am a Crow and is not under the jurisdiction of the General Staff. What do I want to do? You have no right to interfere.
·
However, the arrow in Amano Keidu's hand was suddenly stopped by one hand. Amano Keidu looked back in surprise and found that the owner who was blocking his hand was Yu Qiushang.
Chief of Staff Takenaka has no objection. Young Master, you, as the deputy company commander, have no say. This matter is urgent and must not delay the plan. Please
I was not talking to Lord Amano as the deputy company commander. Yu Qiushang's tone was unusual and firm, and he interrupted Amano Keidu with a stiff voice, but was talking to you in the name of the young master of the Yu Qiu family. Before my father left, he left an order. When he was not here, all matters were subject to the orders of my mother and I.
Keido Amano was shocked when he heard this and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Yu Qiuhei gave such instructions, but they were all regarded as a symbolic instruction. Imakawa Kaede would not interfere too much in the work of Yu Qiu’s five soldiers, and Yu Qiushang was even more responsible for his accusation as a grassroots officer and never cited the affairs of Yu Qiu’s family. Such humble behavior made him well-received at home.
Now, it is the first time he has suppressed people as the young leader of the Yuqiu family. He has been very repulsive of this identity in the past.
Now, please ask Lord Amano to obey the orders of the young master of the Yuqiu family, not to kill people, and imprison them.
Yu Qiushang exerted a little force, pushed Amano Jingde's hand holding the arrow back, pushed it to his chest, and stared at his muddy eyes with a serious look.
Brother, what are you making a fuss? Is it time to make a fuss? After Yu Qiuyou saw Yu Qiushang say this, he stopped him with some anger.
There is no place for you to speak here. Yu Qiushang glared at his younger brother without hesitation, scolded him in an unusually stern tone, and pushed Yu Qiuyou back. Then, Yu Qiushang turned his head again and continued to stare at Amano Keito.
Young Master, do you know what you are doing? After a while, Amano Keido finally said with some difficulty, "We don't have the extra troops to guard them, and we can't afford the risk of leaking the news. Keeping them is a hidden danger after all."
The adults only need to execute the order. Why, will the adults disobey the young master's order? Yu Qiushang shook his head and continued to look at Amano Kede Amano with a serious look. After hesitating for a moment, he finally lowered his head helplessly and took the arrow back into his arms.
Yes, young master.
·
Soon after, Chang Panbei resumed his march again. The raven's ninjas were led by the upper ninjas to clean up the traces left on the scene. The hundreds of people were taken to the south by a platoon of spearmen and a raven's Zhongnin.
The woman is so kind that she does not command the soldiers. Amano Jingde looked at Yu Qiushang personally instructing the platoon leader of the spear platoon to take good care of the people, and repeatedly emphasized to the crow's Zhongnin that he should not kill. He shook his head helplessly and said, "It's really ridiculous."
No matter how ridiculous it is, can it be absurd than rushing into a broken city surrounded by thousands of enemies for the lives of hundreds of slaves who are only one-meeting and their own promises?
During the argument just now, Ansei Fukushima, who had been watching without talking, suddenly smiled and said. Keito Amano turned around and found Ansei Fukushima was leaning against a big tree with his hands in his chest, looking at Yu Qiushang's figure with his eyes of nostalgia and love.
Lord Amano, look, no matter how naive or willful the young master is, he is a good person.
Your Highness, I see your shadow.
Chapter completed!
