With great difficulty, Xiaobata dragged the "weird mage" away from the Rokkaku family's pursuers and ran to a ruined temple alone in the town.
He angrily said to the 'Weird Mage': "What the hell are you doing? Why do you have to dress up as a ghost? Do you know that you almost killed us!"
"I'm not pretending to be a ghost. Why didn't that guy Du Fei tell you?" The 'strange mage' said as he took off his loose half-sleeved walking monk's robe!
Kanbei Kobata trembled with fright when he saw the monster in front of him! He suddenly remembered what Du Fei once meaningfully said to him: "The strange mage is a very special person. Don't be surprised if he does any strange things."
It’s harmful”
At that time, he was still wondering for a long time: What is this word?
Now he finally understood what Du Fei meant. It turned out that the so-called strange mage was a monster!
"How long do you want to stay there? You know Du Fei is much braver than you. We seem to have a mission here?" The kappa smiled funnyly and put on his clothes again.
The lord can even subdue monsters. It seems that his strength is beyond imagination! Dominating the world with his ability is not an unreachable thing at all! Xiaobata is secretly glad that he has followed the right person.
At this moment, a group of masked men suddenly appeared. They were carrying a large box in their hands and were hurriedly heading towards the mountain path.
The keen kappa quickly covered the little flag with his body, and his body turned into the same color as the grass.
"Changing color?" Xiaoban was surprised again! It seems that the helper Du Fei sent him is quite good at it.
The group of masked men numbered about forty, all wearing short-sleeved uniforms, with only two eyes exposed by the masks on their faces.
Xiaobata saw that their movements were not brisk. They were probably not ninjas, but who were they? Bandits generally wouldn't care about exposing their appearance.
So he immediately made an accurate and simple judgment: "This is a group of bandits with ulterior motives!" (Seemingly nonsense)
He immediately forgot the principle of staying out of his own business, grabbed the kappa and followed him quietly.
They saw that the mountain road here became narrower and more dangerous. They did not dare to follow too closely, so they had to follow intermittently.
After a while, several tents appeared in the dense forest, and there were a few bandit-like people standing guard outside with weapons in hand. It seemed that this was the bandit's camp.
Kobata Kanbei watched the group of people carry the boxes and hurriedly walked into the camp.
He knew that if he wanted to know what was going on, he could only find out by sneaking in. So he whispered to the kappa: "Go and grab a tongue! Don't mess it up!"
The kappa disappeared in a flash with his hands and feet. After a while, he returned to Kanbei Kobata with a man who looked like a bandit foaming at the mouth under his arm.
Xiaoban signaled the kappa to take away the giant hand covering his mouth, but the kappa shook his head: "If I let go, he will scream."
"If you don't let him go, he will die." Kohata Kanbei said as he glanced at the purple-faced bandit.
The kappa finally let go of his giant hand. The bandit gasped violently, followed by coughing. It seemed that he was frightened and abused, and his feet were a little soft.
"Say it quickly! What the heck did you guys do just now? If you don't tell me, I will let this monster eat you!" After that, Xiaoban pulled the kappa over and got closer to him.
"Ah!! No!" The bandit was so frightened that his crotch was wet: "I say, I say~~~~I say anything."
It turned out that the group of bandits were originally part of the Shima Navy in the Iga Shima Sea. A few months ago, their Shima Navy refused to serve for the new master of Shima Kingdom, Oda Nobunaga, and was supported by Kumanosui, who was supported by Oda.
The army was defeated and driven away.
They, a large group of remaining water bandits, were forced to abandon their ways and had to become mountain bandits nearby. However, they were separated by mountains and rivers. They originally thought that banditry was a very unskilled profession, not much different from water bandits.
But who knows, in fact, every other line is like a mountain.
Over the past few months, their business has been getting worse and worse, and Rokkaku officers and soldiers are increasingly pursuing and intercepting them day by day, so their boss is ready to go all out to do something big and kill Shunshu Kamao, a famous businessman in Tagame Town.
Put him in a box and tie him up, ready to exchange him for a large ransom.
"Kamao Junxiu sounds familiar." Kanbei Kobata also remembered this name, as if he was really a famous person.
"This Junxiu Pu Sheng is really amazing! When he was seven years old, he started catching famous crickets to sell to dignitaries. He opened his first shop when he was eleven or twelve years old! Now he is only twenty-five or six years old.
He is already the richest among the many trading towns nearby! If only I had his mind, I wouldn’t have to be both a water bandit and a mountain bandit." The bandit seemed excited when he talked about Kamao Shunshu.
According to what I say, he should be a very good businessman! Xiaobata thought excitedly.
Xiaoban then asked seriously: "How many people are there in your camp? Tell the truth! Otherwise"
"There are hundreds of people inside. I beg you, brother, don't let that monster wander in front of my eyes. Whatever you ask, I will answer honestly." The bandit seemed to be completely frightened.
Just when Xiaoban was trying to find a way to sneak in and rescue people, he found that the kappa next to him was missing! He looked around and couldn't see him anywhere!
At this moment, I saw a strange scream coming from the bandit camp! A large group of bandits ran out in panic! As they ran, they shouted: "There is a monster!!! Help!"
After a while, I saw a kappa carrying a thin young man jumping out: "Brother, do you think this is the person you are looking for?"
Xiaoban was stunned for a while, then reluctantly whispered: "Well done."
The thin young man didn't know whether he was frightened by the kappa or abused by the bandits. At this time, he was a little confused. He said in a trance with blurred eyes: "You were sent by Yingzi to save me."
Sakurako?
Before anyone could recover, Pu Sheng Junxiu had already tilted his head and fainted again.
Kobata Kanbei saw many wounds on his body and angrily said to the bandit: "If you want money, just ask for money! Why do you want to hurt people?"
"We didn't injure him, we bumped him along the way while he was in the box." The bandit said aggrievedly, "Sir, can I go?"
"No!" Kobata Kanbei said angrily: "You carry him! We happen to be short of a porter! It's you!"
"Ah? No." The bandit looked like he was about to cry, but the kappa, forced by fear, had no choice but to swallow his anger and carry Kamou Junxiu on his back, moving with difficulty.
"We'd better disguise ourselves again. The outfit we were wearing just now has been targeted." Kanbei Kobata searched around the bandit camp and found several outfits.
He quickly changed the clothes of himself and the kappa. He put the kappa into a loose Wu suit, and also put him into a bamboo hat with a gauze scarf worn by women.
"Gu! I don't understand why we have to throw ourselves into a trap now that we have been exposed." The kappa tilted his head and asked in confusion.
"This man is so seriously injured. If he is not treated in time, he will die! There is no point in carrying a dead person to His Majesty the Lord!" Kobata Kanbei said angrily.
When they arrived at the gate of Tagame Town, they saw that the place had indeed been on heightened alert, and there were still a few monks pretending to be wandering around, saying they wanted to get rid of spirits. But the real 'spirits' swaggered past in front of their eyes.
They didn't react at all!
Look at these guys just cheating and drinking! Such a big monster passed under your nose without any reaction at all! Kanbei Kobata thought to himself.
But at this moment, a monk suddenly stared at the disguised kappa.
Kobata Kanbei couldn't help but feel nervous: Could it be that he had been seen through? He immediately stared at the monk, and secretly prepared the bitter dart in his hand. As soon as the monk shouted, he would immediately throw the hidden weapon! He
The palms of my hands were sweating unconsciously.
