"Fourth brother, let's go. There's no way to save him." That Furunoji Yutaka poured cold water on Imagawa Jimoto without any courtesy, "I just saw that there are at least fifty ninjas in Genguang Etan. We only have these seven or eight on hand. Personally, how can I fight with Xuanguang Huitan who is surrounding the area for help? I’m just going to die. I’ll end up with the same fate as the ninjas from the Nakasugi family who came to rescue us.”
"If we can get up close, we have a chance. Ninja martial arts and weapons are not conducive to close combat." Imagawa Ujimoto squinted at the hotel, "We just need to rush into the hotel and fight with those ninjas in the narrow corridor. You can win in hand-to-hand combat.”
"How is that possible? There are dozens of them on guard duty, and there is a semi-open area around the hotel. We will be discovered as soon as we show up, and then we will be shot into a sieve by hidden weapons." That Furunoji Yutaka pointed out the reality mercilessly.
"We can wait for my ninjas to come back. They can cover us and rush in." Imagawa Shimoto murmured, and then cursed fiercely, "It's so unlucky. Every time we encounter danger along the way, the ninjas None of them are here. We have to hide our identity and not let the ninja follow too closely or conspicuously. There are many dangers along the way and we need to be rescued at any time. It’s completely contradictory! There is really no way..."
"It's too late. The attackers have already started searching the nearby streets. If we don't run, we will be caught." Nakasugi Torachiyo covered the wound on his abdomen and lowered his voice.
"And if they take Miss Nakasugi as a hostage, they will definitely move her to a more private place immediately. If you don't go now, it will be too late. You will have no chance to wait for the ninja to come back. But if you go now, you will die." Na Furuno Shifeng added coldly, "Give up, fourth brother, it's just a woman. The world is so big, how can you not find her?"
"Goro, it's okay. If you give up, I won't blame you." Nakasugi Tora Chiyo took a step forward, held Imagawa Ujimoto's shoulders and said, "The situation is extremely bad right now. My sister also told me to run first and take the initiative to stop." Captured. My sister has already made up her mind and definitely doesn’t want us to go back and die to save her. Even I am ready to escape, Wu Lang, you don’t have to force it."
"I'm going, who's following me?" Imagawa Shimoto didn't say much nonsense. He just took out his sword and turned to look at the person behind him.
"I'm going." Ji Liang Weicheng patted his chest.
"I will obey my orders." Kentaro Tianchen also handed over his hand unequivocally.
After the four ninjas of the Nakasugi family looked at each other, they all nodded, cupped their hands and said, "I would like to help the young master to assist the young lady."
"If you really want to save my sister, I will naturally have no choice but to risk my life, but I really advise you, Goro, not to be brave." Nakasugi Tora Chiyo wanted to persuade her again, but Imagawa Ujimoto simply turned away.
"Are you crazy? How long will fourth brother keep your damn kindness?" Furunoji Yutaka seemed to feel that Imagawa Ujimoto was hopeless, and cursed with a sad smile, "Must you rush to reincarnate? This man Do you want to save me too? Losing your life for a love that lasted less than a month?"
"Didn't you tell me, Bamboo Omaru, that if you suffer a loss, you will throw away your good intentions. But the loss I have suffered at the moment is not big enough. I can't help my sweetheart until death, and I can't imagine what happens if she finds out about me. How desperate you must have been when you didn't even try to save her." Imagawajimoto turned around and raised his eyebrows at Furunojiyuyo, "I suffered a big loss this time. After I have suffered a loss, I might be able to save her in the future. Throw it out with kindness.”
"You've already lost your life after eating it, so how can you show any kindness?" Furuno Shifeng spat on the ground again, and then he also drew the knife in his hand, "That's it, fourth brother. You saved my life just now, and now I won't Give you my life back."
"Okay." Imagawa Shigen's expression darkened, and he waved his fingers with his left hand towards the heavily guarded hotel, "Let's go."
·
However, before Imagawa Ujimoto and others set off to break in, a young man turned out from the corner of the street. He was dressed in blue cloth and looked like a civilian, but the aura in his movements was enough to show that this person was something special. The strange thing is that there are no traces of the martial or public family on him - no Tsukiyo head, no calluses on his hands from holding a knife; no black teeth, no shaved eyebrows, no makeup on his face. So who is he?
"My lord, do you want to enter that hotel?" The young man said straight to the point, "It's just that there are probably dozens of ninjas in the hotel now, and the high points and key points in the surrounding streets and alleys have also been occupied. With these few If I rush alone, I'm afraid I'll be in danger before I even get to the hotel door."
"Will you help me?" At this moment, Imagawa Shimoto, who was worried about Ginkgo's safety, had no time to ask how the young man found him and how he knew his purpose. Instead, he asked as if he was grasping a life-saving straw.
"Kyoto is an ancient capital that has existed for thousands of years. Not only are the various forces intertwined, but so are the underground secret passages. Whether it is the royal family, the shogunate, or private individuals, in order to avoid war and disasters, countless secret passages have been built in Kyoto over the past thousand years. Although they have been It's a lot abandoned, but it's still usable." The young man raised his hand and pointed to the hotel. "Before it was bought by a private person, that hotel was once a stronghold of Liubo Luo. I know a tunnel that leads directly to it. If there is a sudden attack from inside the house, it will be useless no matter how many ninjas are on guard outside the hotel. As long as they enter into close combat, how can ninjas be the enemy of samurai Ichihe?"
After saying that, the young man stretched out his hand like the stunned Imagawa Ujimoto, "If you are willing, sir, I can help you."
"Are there any conditions?" Imagawa Shimoto, who had been tricked many times in the past half month, couldn't believe that such a good person and good thing could happen. He held the hand stretched out by the young man in a daze - only to feel a weak electric current in his body. A general, very wonderful feeling flowed through.
"No, that's enough." The young man let go of his hand with satisfaction, "Your Excellency and Brother Ling are not the same kind of people."
"Does this young master want to praise me as a good person?" Imagawa Shimoto shook his head repeatedly in disbelief, "Good people are rewarded. I might have believed it a month ago, but I definitely don't believe it now."
"How could I focus on such a superficial trait? You two are worlds apart."
He is a powerful being and you are not. And my divine power only requires physical contact to distinguish the same kind.
The young man shook his head and did not mean to reveal the truth to Imagawajimoto. He just said vague words that Imagawajimoto could not understand.
Then he waved his hand, signaling Imagawa Ujimoto not to hear too much and follow him directly, "To put it simply, I don't really care whether you live or die, sir. But your brother's life or death is very important to me. To be precise, , I wish he would die."
·
At the same time, in the hotel, Ginkgo was tied up in her own guest room on the second floor. Imagawa Yoshima interrogated her to no avail, and finally had to exit the room.
"Your Highness, why don't you torture this woman?" the Jonin who followed asked from behind.
"Originally, my fourth brother and I were in a fight to the death, but after getting this important hostage, I had the opportunity to let him be used for me. His talent is destined to be a rare talent, how can people not covet it? Three feet? This woman is an important bargaining chip. If she gets hurt, given the nature of my fourth brother, she is very likely to do something irrational. I have no interest in negotiating with irrational people."
As Imagawa Yoshima explained, he looked towards the door. Several ninjas responsible for guarding were crowding around the door, slightly opening the door a crack, staring at Ginkgo who was tightly bound by ropes in the room.
"I'll say it again, no one is allowed to touch that woman before the negotiation." Imagawa Yoshima glared at the ninjas and scolded sternly, "Otherwise, you will be punished with death!"
"Your Highness, are you done talking?" The guard at the door was obviously unwilling to give up, and even risked offending Imagawa Yoshima to ask.
"If my fourth brother agrees to be used by me, the woman will continue to stay with me as a hostage. If he doesn't agree and is killed by me, this woman is yours to do with. You can handle it with as many people as you want, and it doesn't matter how long it takes." Imagawa Liangzhen threw out a big cake, which immediately made the ninjas swallow several mouthfuls of saliva. They wished they could kill Imagawa Clan with their own hands right now.
After Imagawa Yoshizhin finished his instructions, he turned around and went upstairs to personally sit on the third floor and observe the surrounding situation. However, not long after he sat down, Ginkgo's scream suddenly came from downstairs:
"Ah! No! Don't touch me! Let go of your dirty hands! You are not allowed to touch me! Ah - um - don't!"
"What? These low-grade creatures from the Middle Ages who can only think with their lower bodies..." Imagawa Yoshima became furious when he heard the shouts. He got up and walked downstairs. The Jonin behind him was also sweating coldly and hurriedly replaced him. The subordinates excused themselves: "Your Highness, please forgive me! The Whale House you go to on weekdays only has some vulgar fans. How have you ever seen such a beauty! It's normal to not be able to resist..."
"That can't ruin my career. Now that I've taken important hostages, I finally have the opportunity to let my fourth brother be used by me. If they mess it up..." Imagawa Yoshima became angrier as he thought about it, and ran down the stairs in a hurry. Upstairs, I found that all four guarding ninjas had entered the house, and the door was ajar behind it.
Imagawa Yoshima directly drew the knife in his hand and rushed through the door. The four ninjas who saw Imagawa Yoshima coming in hurriedly knelt down and saluted. Ginkgo, who was originally tied to the stool, fell to the ground at this moment. Her satin-like hair was scattered around her face, her clothes were a little untidy, her eyes were panicked, her face was crimson, and she kept breathing softly.
"What are you doing? Do you take my words as fart?" Imagawa Yoshizhin raised his sword and wanted to kill someone, but luckily he was stopped by the Jonin.
"You're wronged, Your Highness! We didn't do anything! It was the woman who suddenly started shouting in the room. We heard some noise and hurried in, and that's what happened!" The guarding ninja knelt and kowtowed, almost frightened. She had to shed tears, "It's unfair, Your Highness! We didn't do anything!"
"Who believes your nonsense?" Imagawa Yoshima yelled, and while lifting Ginkgo's chair again, he pointed the tip of the knife at the ninja's head and shouted, "Stay outside the door honestly, who will do it again?" If you dare to enter the door, I will chop off anyone’s head!”
After that, he slammed the door and left in anger. Several guarding ninjas looked at each other, and after Imagawa Yoshizhin left, they begged Ginkgo, "Auntie, we haven't done anything. What are you talking about? If you talk again later, we will die." It’s all gone!”
When Ginkgo saw that Imagawa Yoshima had left, her confused and flustered expression instantly changed back to a look of disdain.
"Don't worry about that crazy woman, we will be outside the door later. Even if she calls for bed inside, we won't go in!" Another guarding ninja had an idea, "As long as we don't come in, the master will not accuse us wrongly when he comes down." I found out that she was acting by herself inside.”
After that, the four guards pushed out the door one after another and locked the door tightly. He seemed to feel uneasy and even found a chair to block the door.
"Huh... there's really nothing we can do." Ginkgo shook her little head and turned the messy hair on her forehead to one side. Then he turned his head and called softly to the little kitten who had been hiding in the shadow of the cabinet without saying a word, "Come on, Miaomiao, do your mother a favor. I don't know if your teeth and claws can do it."
