"Fourth brother, what are you doing?" That Furuno Shifeng was startled by the sudden change. It was not only Furunoji Yutaka who was frightened, but also the guards of Furunoji Yutaka and Imagawa Ujimoto. Everyone drew their knives in their hands and stood guard behind their master. The atmosphere in the warehouse suddenly became tense.
"I'm just asking you why the attacking ninjas didn't rush to attack, but instead deliberately pushed me into the alley. It turns out that you are in the same group." Imagawa Jigen frowned, and there was a faint flash of anger in his eyes, " Tell me, why did you lie to me? We are brothers, right?"
"Haha... I have heard for a long time that the fourth brother is talented and intelligent, and has received the true inheritance of Master Xue Zhai. Today I saw that he is well-deserved." Toyogan Furuno smiled and raised his hands, and said helplessly, "I want to know how the fourth brother found out. ?”
"The servant behind you is the one who lied that my father was seriously ill and asked me to borrow a horse. Don't think that I can't recognize him because we only met him once and he was hiding in the shadows." Imagawa Shimoto saw the warehouse at a glance The man standing in the corner said, "So you directed and performed the borrowing, buying and selling of horses by yourself?"
"That's right, it's all just to delay the fourth brother's trip." That Furunoji Yutaka admitted openly.
"Why do you want to harm me? We have no grievances. We are still brothers." Imagawa Shimoto's anger became even more intense.
"Fourth brother and I are brothers. Aren't we brothers with third brother? Third brother contacted me more than half a month ago and asked me to design a plan to hinder fourth brother's trip so that third brother can enter before you. Kyoto will plan to ambush you." Furunoji Yutaka sneered and said matter-of-factly, "When the third brother contacted me to deal with the fourth brother, I was still a little hesitant and didn't know which one to choose between the two of you. But contacting you Later, I discovered that fourth brother, you are completely benevolent as a woman, and your kindness will only send you into a pit of fire, with no future at all. On the contrary, third brother is ruthless, and no matter how you look at it, you are a person who can achieve great things."
"Then what is the purpose of the servant you just sent to the warehouse?" Imagawa Shimoto had already realized that something was wrong.
"Fourth brother is certain to lose, so there's no harm in telling you. The reason why we didn't directly attack you in the alley is because we were afraid that the ninjas accompanying you would arrive to support you. So I designed to separate you from the ninjas, and then deceived your trust, and got Use your tokens to move your ninjas out of Kyoto so that they have no time to rescue you. After that——"
Furunoji Yutaka laughed twice, and then the door of the warehouse was pushed open, and Imagawa Yoshima strode into the warehouse with a group of ninjas. The expressions of Kira Usei, Kentaro Tianjin and Hayasaka Nao all changed drastically, and they already knew that they would not be able to survive this time.
"I'll take care of you personally from now on, Chengfang." Imagawa Yoshima smiled at Imagawa Ujimoto, "This is the first time."
"It must have been a long time, Third Brother." Imagawa Shimoto shook his head and said very frankly, "I have always wanted to talk to Third Brother, but there was no chance. We were brothers, and Third Brother took us to play when we were young. Now. Now Why is Xiangjian so anxious and has to be put to death to be satisfied?"
"This is the troubled times of the Warring States Period, not playing house. If you want to protect the Imagawa family, how can you not be ruthless?" Imagawa Yoshima raised his arms, and the ninjas behind him immediately got ready to attack, "Chengfang, you don't want to be cruel at all. The Imagawa family takes it to heart, so they willfully stick to their own conscience. How can anyone who is determined to protect the family to the death not have the consciousness to abandon all good intentions? I have it, but you don't. I should also be the governor of the Imagawa family. Of course, you are not suitable."
"I don't deny this. If the third brother could not be so persistent in killing me, my teacher, and my mother, I would have no interest in competing with you for the family governor. Wouldn't it be better to be my monk with peace of mind? It's just that I have left now. At this point, I'm afraid there is no way back, so I have no choice but to fight to the death." Imagawa Shimoto turned sideways, holding Yutaka Furuno in front of him, and adjusted the posture of his katana so that he could control the hostage more steadily. "Third brother, let me go, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."
"Do you think you can scare me? How could I be threatened by hostages?" Imagawa Yoshima shook his head coldly and directly ordered the ninja to attack, "You don't even have the consciousness to kill an enemy, how can you kill your own brother? ?”
Kunai and shurikens attacked without mercy, and there was no way to distinguish whether they would hit Imagawa Ujimoto or Furunoji Yutaka. Kentaro Tamaki, Kira Usei and Hayasaka Nao tried their best to block, and then barely protected Imagawa's Yuan Shuquan.
"Third brother, are you crazy? Save me first!" Furunoji Yutaka became anxious when he saw this. If the fight continued like this, even if Imagawaji Yuan didn't kill him, he would be beaten to death by Imagawa Yoshima's ninja. He originally thought that even if he was kidnapped, Imagawa Yoshima would save him first and then kill Imagawa Ujimoto, so he had been full of confidence just now. Who would have thought that Imagawa Yoshima, who disowned all his relatives, would actually kill himself.
"Third brother can kill me, how can he still care about your safety?" Imagawa Shimoto muttered angrily. He didn't even care about holding Furuno Shitoyo hostage. He also took a knife and started to block the incoming shots. Kunai.
"Third brother, after we agreed before, you asked me to return to the Imakawa family and help me return to Owari to seek revenge on Oda Nobhide. Have you forgotten?" Furuno Ujitoyo was a little excited and faced Imagawa Yoshi. Zhen shouted, "How can you betray your trust? Attack your allies?"
"It's useless to talk more. Attack indiscriminately without distinction. As for my fifth brother, since we have already broken up with each other, there is no need to show mercy." Imagawa Yoshima did not respond to Furunoji Yutaka's intention at all. With a wave of his arm, the ninjas under his command Just swarmed up.
"Didn't you speak eloquently before? You said, 'To achieve great things, you have to give up goodwill, otherwise you will only be taken advantage of.' Then why do you still believe in such things as 'credit' and 'commitment' now?" Mr. Imagawa Yuan couldn't care less about Yutaka Furunoji - there was no need for a hostage that was not threatening. He let go of him and shouted at the same time, "Takeohmaru, I advise you, if you want to survive, take him with you." You guys help me and escape together!"
Having said that, Imagawa Ujimoto and his three attendants prepared to forcefully attack and surround him from the main entrance. As soon as Furunoji Toyoda was freed, he was almost hit in the head by three flying shurikens. He retreated in embarrassment under the cover of his men.
"Third brother...ah no, Xuan Guanghui, you guy...how dare you play tricks on me!" The furious Furunojitoyo spat on the ground, and then ordered several of his subordinates, "Let's go. Break out with me."
"Fourth brother, there is a side door over there in the warehouse!" Furunoji Yutaka ran quickly, grabbed Imagawa Jimoto who was about to fuck him hard, and ran to the side. In order to cover the evacuation of Furunoji Yutaka, several of his loyal old servants were chopped to the ground with random knives. Furunoji Yutaka felt his heart bleed, and finally rushed to the secret door on the side, opened the door, and rushed out with Imagawa Jimoto and others.
When the ninjas behind him saw this, they immediately chased after him. Yutaka Furuno and Imagawa Ujimoto rushed into the stable behind the warehouse, grabbed the horse and fled. The ninjas wanted to pursue them again, but Imagawa Yoshima waved them off.
"It's almost dawn. After all, we are in Kyoto. It's not good to make too much noise on the streets." Imagawa Yoshima shook his head and smiled confidently, "Besides, we still have a trump card, so don't worry. My fourth brother won’t come back.”
·
After the four Imagawa clan members and Furunoji Yutaka escaped by chance, they rushed southward and almost rushed out of Kyoto City before they felt at ease. However, all of Furunoji Yutaka's men were trapped in the warehouse. The alone Furunoji Yutaka's eyes were red, but he was about to cry without tears. He tightly held the reins on his horse and roared to the sky.
"If you help me break out of the encirclement in the end in Takeohmaru, I won't care about what you lied to me about before. Tell me quickly, where did you transfer all my ninjas to?" Imagawa Ujimoto sighed and took the horse reins. Coming to the side of Furunoji Yutaka, "I want to meet with the ninjas, and then go to Nijo Imperial Palace to find Kōhoden."
"The people I sent told them that the fourth brother has been escorted to Enryaku Temple. At this moment, they are probably more than ten miles away from Kyoto." Furunoji Yutaka answered honestly, and at the same time asked Imagawa seriously Shiyuan said, "I would like to advise Fourth Brother, run away quickly. You are no match for Xuan Guang Huitan."
"It's not impossible. Then I have to go back to the hotel where I'm staying. My friends are still there." Imagawaji Motoya said very frankly, and then glanced at Furunoji Yutaka, "Takeohmaru, you are alone now. Being targeted by Third Brother again, I'm afraid your life safety cannot be guaranteed. Why don't you follow me first and I'll protect you. If you want to go back to Imagawa's house with me, that's fine. If not, I'll find a safe place halfway. Put it down."
"I've already done that to Fourth Brother, and Fourth Brother still wants to help me?" The Furuno family smiled in surprise when he heard this, and suddenly felt a little touched in his heart, but he felt that this was too weak and innocent, and then he shook his head in mock disdain and spoke harshly. He said, "You won't be able to give up that kindness until you die, and you will suffer a big loss sooner or later. Isn't this lesson enough?"
"We are brothers, and we are compatriots. I am just doing my best. Come if you like, and if you don't want to come, don't." Imagawa Ujimoto obviously didn't mean to talk to the Furuno family Fonda, so he rode his horse and walked towards Kyoto. , and at the same time arranged for Hayasaka Nao to go to the north to recall the ninjas and let them come back to reunite.
Na Furunoji Yutaka looked at Imagawaji Yuan's back and suddenly had mixed feelings. An inexplicable throbbing trembled in his heart, which actually gave him the urge to serve this good man for the rest of his life—for this good man who was as kind as his previous self. Why? That Furunoji Yutaka couldn't explain clearly. Maybe he simply didn't want this good man to suffer a big loss like his previous self, and his family was ruined. It may also be because he was sent to Owari alone for so many years, and for the first time he felt the love from blood - this is an ordinary feeling, but in troubled times, it is extremely luxurious.
"I'm not a good person with conscience. If a good person comes to my door and wants to take advantage of me, I have no reason not to take advantage of him." That Furunoji Yutaka followed him, he already had an idea in mind, but he still pretended to be high-spirited after Imagawaji Yuan's death. He muttered coldly, "Before you escape danger, just follow the fourth brother reluctantly."
"It's up to you." Imagawa Shimoto replied helplessly, "I have to say something so ugly, I really can't help it."
"If you want to put it nicely, it's okay. If the fourth brother can promise me that he will fight until Owari and help me take revenge on Oda Nobhide, I will go back to Imagawa's house with you and serve the fourth brother wholeheartedly. Oh, now it's on the list of revenge. Also add that guy, Third Brother." As soon as the topic changed, Furunoji Yutaka made a condition. The gentle Imagawa Ujimoto naturally heard that the tough-tongued Furunoji Yutaka was trying to find a place for him to get off, so he nodded and responded softly, "No problem."
"Okay, then this life will be given to the third brother."
But when they rode a detour into the castle town east of Kyoto and headed towards the hotel where they had stayed, Imagawa Ujimoto suddenly realized something was wrong. The originally peaceful hotel was deserted at this moment. There was no one on the surrounding streets and all the food stalls were closed. On the fence on the second floor of the hotel, dozens of ninjas dressed up could be vaguely seen. Imagawaji Yuan hurriedly reined in his horse and hid in a dark alley.
It's over. The third brother really came to the hotel where I was staying. Since Takeohmaru is the third brother's son, he must have already informed him of the good relationship between Ginkgo and Torachiyo and me, right? Is he going to take them hostage and force me to submit?
Imagawaji Yuan felt his heart suddenly sinking.
Ginkgo, Tiger Chiyo...
Just when he was praying that Ginkgo and Torachiyo had escaped safely under the cover of his own ninjas, Nakasugi Torachiyo suddenly appeared at the other end of the alley. There were only four injured ninjas left around him. He also received a blow to the abdomen and was only bandaged hastily. Four people were surrounding him, ducking down and running through the streets, and happened to bump into Imagawa Ujimoto and his party.
"Goro, run away. A group of people suddenly attacked the hotel and set up an ambush on the road. My ninjas were ambushed when they came to the rescue. They were almost wiped out. I managed to escape. I was looking for you, but I didn't expect you. Here, I thought you were trapped in it too." Nakasugi Tora Chiyo was obviously startled when she saw Imagawa Shimoto, and she whispered in surprise.
But the word "ye" in the sentence "You're stuck in it too" made Imagawa Shimoto unable to breathe.
"Where is your sister?" Imagawa Shigen swallowed and asked tremblingly.
"Didn't leave." Nakasugi Torachiyo's answer shattered all Imagawa Ujimoto's hopes.
