"It's superfluous." Tokawa Yisun glanced at the blood-stained Dou Atomic Sutra and the bruised Imagawa Yoshimoto. Knowing that they were no longer his opponents, he frowned slightly, "It's the brother-in-law ninja.
Interference comes first. If you leave, I won't stop you. I'll give you a stone's throw away. If you catch up again, you won't be able to fight with one horse."
"Thank you, His Highness Tokawa." Imagawa Yoshimoto is naturally not a person who would risk his life for the sake of face. When Tokawa saw that Tokawa was willing to let him go, he took the reins of Tokawa's horse and ran away without saying a word. But Tokawa
Yi Cun placed the halberd flat on his lap and stopped to watch the two of them leave.
"Fourth brother, what are you doing?" Noguchi Fuyunaga, who was chasing after him in a hurry, saw Toga Icun stopped and continued to chase, while protesting high-spiritedly.
"If you hadn't intervened, I would have won a long time ago. If you had intervened, my martial ethics would have failed and I had to give in." Tokawa Yisun squinted at the distance that Imagawa Yoshimoto had escaped, and after confirming that he was within a stone's throw away
, then he grabbed the horse's belly and started chasing.
"Your Highness, please leave. Please leave me and escape. They can't catch up with your equestrian skills." Tsuchizune's body became weaker and weaker, and it was difficult to keep up with Imagawa Yoshimoto's horse speed, but the pursuers behind him were
Getting closer and closer. This loyal ninja then advised me over and over again: "I have watched you grow up. Master Xue Zhai has entrusted you to me. I will not let you be in danger under any circumstances..."
"I didn't even abandon the little ninja I met once, so how could I abandon the subordinates who have been following me for many years? Don't worry, walk slowly, I will slow them down." Imagawa Yoshimoto looked back at the position of the pursuers.
, while reaching out to Tu Yuan Sutra: "It's a pity that I didn't bring a bow. Did Tu Yuan bring a ninja tool? Lend it to me."
"Your Highness?" Tsuchikawa was stunned when he heard the words, but he still subconsciously obeyed the order and handed the ninja bag to Imagawa Yoshimoto, but he still added: "You are a rich man, a member of the famous Wu family, how can you
Is it easy to use the hidden weapon of a ninja? If it is spread out, it will not make people laugh, it will be shameful..."
"You are almost dead, who cares about your face?" Imagawa Yoshimoto chuckled, "Besides, why have you lost your face? You just think that ninjas are inferior for no reason. Now even the weapons of ninjas are considered inferior.
?And Tsuchihara, you are also a ninja, why do you belittle ninjas like this? If you really look down on ninja weapons, why are you now a samurai, but you still carry ninja weapons with you to fight? "
"I dare not forget my roots. A ninja is a ninja. There is no point in wearing the clothes of a samurai. Being a monkey will only make people laugh more." Tu Atomjing coughed up blood and replied intermittently.
"It doesn't matter, as long as you can live a happy life. If you think this can make you feel better, that's okay." Imagawa Yoshimoto said as he put the ninja bag on his waist, and then took out a few of them.
Jian, "I just want to tell Tuyuan that I have never discriminated against you because of your so-called ninja background, and I don't care whether you are a ninja or a samurai. I am just grateful to you for being willing to risk your life to protect me. Everyone is living hard."
, it’s just that different people have different lifestyles. Whether they are katana swords or ninja tools, they are not all made of iron. How can there be any distinction between them? Samurai and ninjas are not all born to parents. In front of Buddha,
What’s the difference between noble and humble?”
Before he finished speaking, Imagawa Yoshimoto had already thrown his shuriken at the pursuers who had rushed to the nearest place. After all, he was gifted. Even if it was his first time to use a concealed weapon, Imagawa Yoshimoto's accuracy was still astonishingly high. One shuriken
When they came out, the few ninjas chasing at the front had already fallen. Although they also tried to fight back with hidden weapons, they were the chasing party after all. The speed of the hidden weapons was offset by the speed of the horses, and there was almost no threat. Imagawa Yoshimoto was holding the dragon.
Maru blocked easily.
"Outflank." Upon seeing this, Noguchi Fuyunaga immediately reacted and arranged for a Jonin to lead people around from the south, while he led a team of horses to rush into the mountains and forests to the north to pursue quickly on a road that would not be affected by hidden weapons. Seeing that
He was about to rush to the place parallel to Imagawa Yoshimoto and Dou Atom Meridian, but suddenly he heard the sound of horse hoofbeats from the side, and in an instant, a knife was stabbed towards his face.
Noguchi Toyonaga hurriedly drew his sword to block, but when he sat down, he was so frightened that he jumped towards the bushes with a neighing sound, causing Noguchi Toyonaga to suffer a lot. The subordinates behind him were also frightened by this turn of events. And the attackers
He seemed to have no intention of continuing to take action, so he turned around and rode away. At the same time, he also waved his hands randomly, cutting down many dead branches, which covered the mountain road behind his horse, making it difficult for Noguchi Fuyunaga and others to pursue them.
.
"woman?"
It was only then that Noguchi Fuyunaga finally discovered that the attacker's long hair fluttering in the wind did not have a bun.
On the road, Imagawa Yoshimoto also noticed the movement in the forest on the side. He guessed that someone was about to outflank him, so he held a kunai in his hand early. As soon as he saw another rider standing out, he immediately shot away. The man was so frightened that he was shocked.
, he twisted his body on the horse in embarrassment, and used the scabbard to fend off the blow.
Just as Imagawa Yoshimoto was about to continue his attack, he realized that the person coming was none other than Ginkgo.
"Sir! You are such a heartless man, are you trying to murder your first wife and then bring back the lover you stole outside?" Ginkgo was so angry that she complained about Imagawa Yoshimoto, but she couldn't say more at the moment.
, waving for Imagawa Yoshimoto to follow, "Quick, follow me!"
"Why are you here? Where are we going?" Imagawa Yoshimoto watched the ginkgo slap the horse and rushed into the mountains to the north. He couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. "Our main force is still in the southwest, rushing into the mountains to the north. Why are we lost?"
What to do? We are strangers and we don’t have a guide.”
"I caught up with them around the mountain road. It was so chaotic that no one paid attention to me. The pursuers of the Mihaoshi family didn't look like they were with a guide. They just ran around like headless flies. Aren't they also outsiders?" Ginkgo turned around and glanced.
Imagawa Yoshimoto looked at the pursuers behind his back again and said, "Go into the mountain and get rid of them."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Really or not, do you know the way?" Imagawa Yoshimoto reluctantly broke into this strange forested mountain.
"What are you talking about? I am a mountain girl, how could I get lost in the mountains?" Ginkgo laughed disdainfully, "This is a small hill that is not as high as a tomb. In Kaibi, it is not even considered a mountain."
It has to be said that the ability of ginkgo to recognize the road is really rare in the world. Last time in the tunnel in Kyoto, Imagawa Yoshimoto was amazed, but this time in a completely unfamiliar mountain forest, it can actually rely on the density of vegetation and the shape of the mountain.
The water came to quickly identify the direction and road, and they ran away without encountering any mistakes. Although the pursuers behind them were still rushing slowly, Imagawa Yoshimoto and Ginkgo were also constantly cutting off small branches or flying bushes.
When it comes to obstacles, it causes them considerable trouble.
"The question is, where are we going all the way?" Imagawa Yoshimoto couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know." Ginkgo replied matter-of-factly.
"Ah?" Imagawa Yoshimoto was confused, "Then what are we?"
"If you don't run into the mountain, you will die. If you go into the mountain, you have a chance. If you can get away completely, can you hide?" Ginkgo looked back at the pursuers and found that they were still within sight.
I couldn't help but feel a little irritated, "It's just that this mountain is almost running away, but it hasn't gotten rid of it yet."
"Going north from here is the boundary of Koga." Imagawa Yoshimoto only felt that things were getting more and more difficult. Although Tsuchizune behind him could still ride his horse to keep up, his physical condition was gradually getting worse. Just as he was
While thinking about it, an idea suddenly came to my mind.
"Did they say last night that there were Koga ninjas going south in a large scale, and we stayed there for one night just to let them pass?" Imagawa Yoshimoto confirmed to Dou Atonsuke and Ginkgo, "It seems that they also said that they
It’s to prevent the Miyoshi family from infiltrating Iga, right?”
"I forgot, or I didn't listen at all." Ginkgo replied.
"Your Majesty, that's exactly what it is." Tu Yuanjing replied.
"Then we just ran all the way east and then north, wouldn't we just meet him?" A wicked smile appeared on Imagawa Yoshimoto's face, and then he passed the ginkgo with his horse's belly, "Let's go, take away the Miyoshi family's pursuers.
Lead over!"
The two teams chased each other, and in a short time they had reached the foot of the mountain. As expected, the moment they came out of the mountain, Imagawa Yoshimoto saw the Koga ninjas who were moving south. They were in groups of three and two, and they were quickly moving towards the south.
We were walking through the mountains and forests. After discovering Imagawa Yoshimoto and the other three riders, they were all shocked.
"Come on, boys! The enemy is coming from the north!" Imagawa Yoshimoto pretended to yell, and then he took Ginkgo and Sochi Atonsu and hid down the hillside by the roadside. Behind them, the ninjas of the Miyoshi family
As soon as they rushed out, they saw the Koga ninja who was also in a daze.
"It's not from Iga. Judging by the clothes and workmanship, he's from Kinki in the Western Kingdom. The accent of the leading samurai is also a Kyoto accent." The leading Koga ninjas, such as Mochizuki Yoshitomi and Yamanaka Tatoshi, recognized the identity of the pursuer at a glance, "
Fight them, it’s easier to find them!”
"What's going on? Did the Imagawa family call the Rokkaku family's Koga ninjas as reinforcements? Or did they hire several ninjas?" Noguchi Fuyunaga was also frightened by the situation in front of him, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to retreat, "The disparity in numbers is too big, hurry up
withdraw!"
"Hurry up, while they are in chaos." At this time, Imagawa Yoshimoto saw that the two sides were facing each other, and immediately took Ginkgo and Sodium Sutra and fled eastward.
On the other side, on the main battlefield, the guards and ninjas of the Imagawa family fought and retreated, searching for the whereabouts of Imagawa Yoshimoto to the east. The ninjas of the Miyoshi family and the Hyakuchi Ninja did not pursue them, because Miyoshi Yoshihide and Momchi Masanagi
I just learned shocking news from the reports of Noguchi Fuyunaga and Toga Ichimori: Imagawa Yoshimoto seems to have hired Koga ninjas to protect him.
"Hiring so many ninjas? How much does it cost? And did the Rokkaku family actually acquiesce? Didn't I just hear that the Rokkaku family and the Imagawa family had a falling out in Kyoto?" Momachi Masanagi's mouth opened wide, and he couldn't believe it for a long time.
"Or is it that the director (Rokkaku Sadayori) has long been aware of our plot, and then deliberately instructed the Koga ninjas and Imagawa Yoshimoto to cooperate?"
"It should be just a coincidence. The Koga ninjas happened to bump into our people on their way south, and happened to help Imagawa Yoshimoto out of trouble." Miyoshi Yoshixian didn't care at all, "Just like we didn't expect Imagawa Yoshimoto this time.
Taking Iga back to Tokaido, I didn’t expect that we would happen to walk on the same path in tandem, giving us the opportunity to ambush him.”
"Then now..." Momochi Masanagi looked at Miyoshi Yoshiken, "What should we do?"
"It seems that the Rokkajia family attaches great importance to it, so it's difficult for us with beards to achieve anything. Third Taifu might as well find an excuse to renegotiate the peace, and wait until the situation changes next time."
