It was a dark October night.
Outside the military camp.
A middle-aged man of 160 centimeters, about thirty-five or sixty-six years old, with a black cloth covering his bare half-moon head.
This man is dressed like a Han from the Central Plains.
In fact, this person is Matsushita Saburo, the secret agent left by Tokugawa Ieyasu. He is a ninja specially trained by Tokugawa Ieyasu and is responsible for hidden assassinations. Saburo Matsushita was the strongest ninja. Things that Tokugawa Ieyasu couldn't solve were handled quietly by Saburo Matsushita.
Tokugawa Ieyasu has been in charge of Japan for many years and has full control over it. Develop the local area through farming and education, control the local area and people with Shinto and imperial power, and then train the army to control the local area.
In addition, Tokugawa Ieyasu also trained many sumo wrestlers and ninjas.
Saburo Matsushita is such a person.
He hid outside the military camp and looked at the camp with burning torches from a distance.
Lu Xuan's army was stationed and there were no camp defenses such as fences. It was not difficult for Matsushita Saburo to sneak in.
Next to Saburo Matsushita, there were nine ninja warriors.
Among them, Hieda Ichishiba, the pockmarked young man closest to Matsushita Saburo, had a look of urgency on his face, and said eagerly: "Teacher, we have been lurking nearby for almost an hour and a half. We have seen what needs to be seen, and we have also investigated what needs to be investigated. , when will we take action?”
Saburo Matsushita looked calm and replied: "Don't worry, we will wait until early in the morning before taking action. Taking action now will not have any effect. Especially many places in the camp are brightly lit, making it difficult to get close."
Hieda Ichishiba said: "Teacher is right."
He changed the subject and looked curious again, saying: "Teacher, how can we find the king of the other party in such a huge camp?"
Saburo Matsushita chuckled and explained: "This is the secret taught by His Majesty the Emperor. The Emperor said that the opponent's commander is the commander-in-chief of an army, so the camp he lives in must be larger, and there is also a king's flag."
"In addition, there must be more people guarding the commander's tent. As long as several conditions are met at the same time, it will be very easy to find the opponent's commander's tent. It is not a big problem."
Hidden Ichiba's pockmarked face was filled with admiration and he said, "Teacher is right."
Matsushita Saburo noticed the appearance of Uita Ichishiba, and his eyes were a little proud.
Although the light was very dim, it was difficult to see clearly. However, Matsushita Saburo could completely imagine the appearance of Uita Ichishiba.
Saburo Matsushita was in a good mood and looked like he was a teacher. He reminded, "As a ninja, the most important thing is to be patient. Secondly, be patient. In a word, patient, patient, patient. As long as you If you can endure it, you will have a chance.”
"That's what the teacher taught."
Hieda Ichishiba spoke quickly.
His pockmarked face showed a look of longing.
Saburo Matsushita's assassination was a successless battle and there was never any problem. With such a record, Hitada Ichishiba naturally regarded Matsushita Saburo's words as an imperial edict.
"Chirp! Chirp!!"
Under the night sky, suddenly there was the sound of birdsong.
It's just that the sound came and went quickly, and it stopped after a few calls.
This is a normal situation at night, and it is autumn now. There are many birds chirping and insects chirping at night, and there are also waves on the nearby coast.
Matsushita Saburo didn't pay much attention.
The Emperor left with his army, and everyone knew that His Majesty had left. If the people in the Central Plains know the news, they will definitely not take it to heart.
Otherwise, the camp of the Central Plains people would not be without fence protection.
Saburo Matsushita waited, and estimated that it was almost early in the morning. The camp was completely quiet, and even the patrolling soldiers seemed to slow down. Saburo Matsushita waved and quietly led the people in.
Everyone was wearing black night clothes, moving very fast, like ghosts, towards the center of the camp.
Diving all the way, it was very smooth.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Matsushita Saburo led his men and approached the center of the camp. They saw a very large tent not far away, and a wooden platform was specially built to support the tent.
In addition, there were soldiers guarding the surrounding area.
There was a general standing guard outside the camp. He was wearing armor and had a strong physique. Matsushita Saburo looked at him and was frightened from the bottom of his heart. He couldn't even reach the opponent's shoulders. The disparity was huge.
Matsushita Saburo saw a large banner standing here again.
This is the flag representing the coach.
Matsushita Saburo immediately understood and confirmed the identity of the other party. However, he couldn't get close at all. Not to mention the other soldiers standing guard, Matsushita Saburo couldn't capture the people at the entrance of the camp alone.
How to do it?
Saburo Matsushita quickly started thinking.
What was he thinking about?
Hieda Ichishiba interrupted: "Teacher, the enemy's defense is very tight. If we kill directly, it will be impossible. Once we kill, we will be targeted immediately, and we will not even have a chance to escape."
Saburo Matsushita nodded and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Hidden Ichichai said: "Arrange people to set fires in other places. As long as other places burn, it will definitely attract attention and attract the attention of more Central Plains soldiers. By then, the commander's tent will be empty. Let's kill it and make a contribution in one fell swoop. .”
Saburo Matsushita praised: "It's indeed a good suggestion, Mr. Hidden. I'll leave this matter to you. You take one person there, and immediately turn to other places to hide after setting the fire."
Hieda Ichishiba's face suddenly froze.
On weekdays, he calls Saburo Matsushita his teacher, and the two have a teacher-student relationship. Now, Matsushita Saburo calls him Hidden-kun. Is this preparing him to die?
Hieda Ichishiba said: "Teacher, I, I..."
Matsushita Saburo said: "If you want to achieve something and be on your own, this is the only way to go. If you stay with me all your life, you will only be a coward all your life and call others teacher. If you If you are willing to endure it, you don’t need to go.”
"I go!"
Hidden Ichishiba's face suddenly showed an eager look.
His pockmarked face was full of longing and ambition.
In his heart, Hieda Ichishiba wanted to achieve the same feats as his teacher Saburo Matsushita.
Saburo Matsushita nodded and whispered: "Relax, your theoretical knowledge has already been very rich. What you need now is practice, do it according to your ideas, be bold and careful."
"Hi!"
Hieda Ichishiba answered immediately.
He called a ninja and left quietly, heading towards the camp in the distance.
Matsushita Saburo looked at the expression on Hieda Ichishiba's face, and there was a hint of cunning in his eyes. Among the teachings of ninjas, there was one thing that he did not pass on, and that was cruelty, not only to the enemy, but also to oneself, and to one's own people.
In order to complete the task, any means necessary.
Matsushita Saburo knew one thing very well. After the firewood of Feitian was set on fire, countless soldiers would gather nearby. At that time, the evacuation of Feitian Ichishai will be very dangerous. This situation was faced by Hidden Ichisashi and had nothing to do with him.
Saburo Matsushita just wants to kill people.
Saburo Matsushita hid in the dark, waiting quietly for the fire to start, and time passed by little by little.
A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour!
In the blink of an eye, less than half an hour later, the camp was still quiet, no news had been transmitted, and there was no fire burning. Matsushita Saburo's calm heart suddenly stirred up waves, and he became a little nervous.
