Chapter 374: Iga Tribe
Chapter 374 Iga Tribe
Walking past the beach, there are winding hills in front of you.
The girl's name is Toyotomi Maki and she belongs to the Yamato noble family.
Her father is also the leader of the Iga region.
Half a month ago, the two tribes of Iga and Koga clashed and a bloody battle broke out. As a result, both sides suffered heavy casualties.
However, the Koga side has recently received the support of the Watanabe tribe, and the two have become one, and are gradually tending to annex Iga.
In order to resolve this dilemma, the Iga tribe came up with a way.
——Go to Tokushima and ask for help from the Tokugawa tribe.
However, when forming an alliance between tribes, the leader has always been required to come in person before the alliance can be completed.
But if Igakata and the girl's father, Toyotomi Izunana, leave, the Koga tribe and the Watanabe tribe will definitely take advantage of them and take advantage of them.
But if Toyotomi Izuna didn't go there in person, the Tokugawa tribe wouldn't be able to invite reinforcements at all.
Under such circumstances, the Iga tribe cannot afford to delay, and the longer it delays, the less chance it will have to fight back.
In order to solve this problem, Toyotomi Izuna made a bold decision-taking advantage of the night, he took only one personal guard and took a boat to cross the bay at night and enter the Tokushima area.
The reason why I brought the girl with me was because of the sincerity of the covenant. I wanted to keep the girl there as a hostage and to use marriage as an alliance.
But who would have thought that the ship would be attacked by pirates just after it left the offshore sea.
Toyotomi Izuna only brought one personal guard with him, and there were only fifteen people in total. Naturally, he couldn't resist the opponent who was well prepared.
He was caught off guard when he was killed.
He failed to invite reinforcements, but ended up risking his own life.
After climbing to the top of a hill, the girl Maki pointed at a flag flag waving in the wind. The flag flag was made of burlap and had the word "Iga" written on it.
"If you enter over there, you will reach our Iga tribe."
She wiped off her sweat, and it was already bright now. The girl looked very fair in the bright light, but she was not very tall, a little over four feet.
She is indeed not as delicate as a noble girl, but rather agile, like a scout who is often on the go.
"(Mr. Jiang Sansen), please follow me back to the tribe first."
Jiang Ling followed her like a horse. After listening to her introduction, he asked: "Are you sure you want to go back like this?"
Toyotomi Maki looked at him doubtfully: "Is there something wrong?"
Jiang Ling was condescending, looking at the small basin with flat plains below, and asked: "How many people know about your father's decision to cross the bay at night to go to Tokushima?"
Toyotomi Maki: "Not many, only my uncle Toyotomi Zenichi and my cousin Toyotomi Shoki know about it."
Jiang Ling: "In that case, you probably don't have to go back."
Toyotomi Maki still looked confused and asked in broken Chinese: "Why?"
Jiang Ling smiled, although she looked mature, but mentally, she was still a child.
"It's possible that the Iga tribe has changed its clan."
Toyotomi Maki: "Esansen, what do you mean?"
Jiang Ling: "If only uncle You and your cousin know about this, then there is a high probability that one of them betrayed your father. Otherwise, why would it be such a coincidence that your father was ambushed by pirates just after he went to sea?"
Toyotomi Maki shook his head: "No...my uncle won't do it, and neither will my cousin. They won't do this."
Jiang Ling looked calm, just looking at the flag waving in the wind from a distance: "Perhaps you can go back and take a look first."
Toyotomi Maki slid down the long slope and entered the jungle with great agility.
After that, he picked a path in the forest and headed towards the tribe.
She walked very fast, and every time she was afraid that Jiang Ling would be unable to keep up because she was walking too fast, she would look back at Jiang Ling.
But every time she looked back, she was surprised to find Jiang Ling walking behind her leisurely, as if he were taking a leisurely stroll.
No matter how fast she walked, Jiang Ling's leisurely pace could always keep up.
After walking for a while, they suddenly bumped into three people fleeing this way in the woods.
Behind the three men, crossbowmen were chasing after them, firing arrows like a rainstorm. They caught up with the last man and killed him.
The remaining two people crawled and rolled, walking barefoot in the jungle, stepped on a thorn strip, fell to the ground in pain, and rolled into the grass.
Toyotomi Maki stopped and looked at the two people rolling on the ground, and actually recognized them.
He shouted: "King, Baihui."
The people who fell were a man and a woman.
The man is not very old, about seventeen or eighteen.
The woman is a little more mature, probably in her early twenties, and she is an older sister. She is wearing a dress with a high slit, and her collarbones are very white under her jade neck.
The man got up from the ground and quickly helped the woman up.
The crossbowmen behind them caught up and quickly surrounded them.
The woman named Baihui looked very surprised when she saw Toyotomi Maki here and said something.
Maki also said something back to her.
Jiang Ling couldn't understand what they said.
There were four crossbowmen. In their eyes, it was no problem to deal with these children, so they began to think of capturing them alive.
The leader made a gesture, and the other three people gathered around from the left and right.
The young man named [Jing] suddenly roared, picked up a dead tree from the ground, and stood in front of his sister to block the three people who were surrounding her.
But the three people laughed disdainfully, and one of them rushed forward, brandishing a straight knife in his hand, and cut the dead wood in [Jing]'s hand into two pieces with one blow. He even killed Jing with one kick.
Kicked to the ground.
Toyotomi Maki yelled at the three crossbowmen,
The leader of the crossbowmen snorted coldly, pointed at Toyotomi Maki and said something. Then the three crossbowmen focused their primary target on Toyotomi Maki.
After listening to Momoe's story, Toyotomi Maki seemed to know some truth.
She was so shocked that her delicate body trembled and she almost fell to the ground.
But the danger in front of her made her quickly come to her senses. She took out a dagger and handed it to Jiang Ling with both hands: "Jiang Sansen, please."
Jiang Ling took the dagger she gave him, nodded slightly, and then rushed forward with a single step. With a flick of the dagger, pop-pop, the necks of the three crossbowmen were cut instantly.
The three of them were stunned and felt a burning pain in their throats. As soon as they turned their heads, the wound burst open and blood spurted out fiercely.
When the leader of the crossbowmen saw this scene, he immediately let go of the crossbow arrows he had prepared in his hand and fired three arrows in succession.
Jiang Ling grabbed a stone with his left hand and hit it, knocking away all three arrows. Then, the dagger in his hand flew away and hit the man right in the middle of his eyebrows.
Kill with one knife!
When all four of them fell down, the woman named Baihui was so shocked that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear.
The young man named [Jing] couldn't help but blurt out: "Si Guoyi." (So awesome)
Just as the four crossbowmen died, there were faint sounds of a large number of footsteps approaching from behind.
Momoe's hearing was very sensitive, her face changed drastically, and she hurriedly called Maki and Kyo to run away from here.
The young man named Jing was very sensible. He carried his sister on his back and ran ahead.
Toyotomi Maki looked in the direction of the tribe, a sad color flashed in his eyes, and then said to Jiang Ling: "Jiang Sansen, let's go."
