Volume 4 Lai Guo Chapter 22
Fu Qinggu and Lanzi were taken out of the room by two ninjas, and it was Zhao Yige who walked ahead of them. He had his hands tied behind his back in chains, glanced back at them, and walked in front of him with his head bowed in shame. The ninja led them out of their cells, got into a carriage, and were blindfolded on the horse. It was dark, and I couldn't hear anything but the sound of ruts rolling on the road. After a while, their carriage stopped. They stepped out of the carriage, still blindfolded, and were led into a pavilion. There seemed to be countless steps in this pavilion, Fu Qinggu only felt that he was constantly walking the stairs, and he didn't know how many floors he had climbed, and finally stopped after he couldn't remember the number of steps, it seemed that they were where they should be. To walk so many steps, it means that the identity of the person who wants to see them should be very noble, although Zhao Yige is in poor health, but he can remember how many floors he is on, and he also knows that there is a guard on each floor, and the breath of the guard is almost imperceptible, if it weren't for the sound of the wooden plank, he wouldn't have noticed it at all. The three of them were blindfolded off by the ninja, and all the ninjas retreated downstairs. When the three of them opened their eyes, they found themselves at the highest point of the pavilion, surrounded by airtight winds, only two lights were lit on the opposite screen, and there seemed to be people behind the screen.
Rehmannia Maru walked out from behind the screen and made the three of them kneel, Arashiko's first reaction was surprise, because she knew where she was, this was the tenth floor of the castle tower where the daimyo was, and on the other side of the screen was the daimyo who was in charge of the country. Lanzi was about to kneel, but Fu Qinggu on the side grabbed her and didn't let her kneel.
"Don't kneel down to the enemy, your life is no longer in your hands, but your dignity cannot be taken away from others. Fu Qinggu said with a backbone, and the daimyo behind the screen laughed out loud when he heard it.
"You're really backbone, you're the woman of the demons, aren't you?" said the daimyo through the screen.
"Yes, you'd better be careful, my father-in-law took a country in just a few days, and it would be easier for him to take this small island country of yours, so you'd better not treat us badly, otherwise you'll end up well." ”
"What to do with me, the general under my command has already sent someone to exterminate the demon, I believe that he will soon come back to see me with the head of the demon, and then see if you want the dignity in your mouth." ”
Even if the daimyo said this, it still didn't scare Fu Qinggu, she knew in her heart that Yan Che was by no means a person who could be defeated so easily, and she insisted on not kneeling. Suddenly, her popliteal fossa seemed to have been kicked by someone, and she lost her balance and had to kneel on the ground, and when she looked back, she found a person who looked exactly like the man who came out of the screen. And Zhao Yige and Lanzi were also pressed to the ground by two people who looked the same. It's not so much that they look alike, it's the same person. As a sword master, Zhao Yige didn't even notice when these people appeared from behind him, the methods of cultivating qi here were really strange.
"It's not like you're going to kneel for me. You don't have to brag about the Majin's methods in front of me, you should feel sorry for your Majin man, because it was the most wrong decision for him to regard my Lai Kingdom as his target. Don't think that we don't leave the country because we are self-contained, if we really do it, it will be more than enough to destroy the entire demon race. As a human being, you still dare to be in the company of demons, and even betray your own body, you scum should be divided into five horses, and hang your head on the city wall for ten thousand people to spit on!"
The daimyo looked angry and wanted to execute Fu Qinggu on the spot, but Fu Qinggu was not afraid of danger and looked like a heroine. Dihuang Pill thought of a plan at this time, and said to the Daimyo: "My lord, as a bargaining chip, let's not kill her first for the time being, wouldn't it be better to let her die in front of the demon when the demon comes?" And I also thought of a good way, this day of worship of the gods is tonight, it is better to take the demon man's wife as a sacrifice and dedicate it to the gods, the gods may be happier, after all, this time there are demon women in the sacrifice, and they will protect our country even more in the future." ”
"Okay! It's still the Rehmannia Pill that thinks well, so I'll do it. There's no need to keep that man, right?" said the daimyo pointing at Zhao Yige.
Dihuang Pill glanced at Zhao Yige and replied to the name: "He is just a subordinate of the demon, and he is also a human being, but he is not related to the demon, but he is only a master and servant, and it is also a great crime." There was no need for him to keep it, but it was too easy to kill. Aren't there nine guards under the adult called "Divine Guard", they have been protecting the adult for many years, and no one has dared to offend the adult in the past few years, precisely because of their guards. I'm afraid that they will have rusty hands and feet, so why don't you send this sinner to the Divine Guard and let them move their muscles and bones, what do you think?"
"Very well, then, you get ready for the evening sacrifice, and I will go back to the palace to rest." ”
Dihuang Pill sent the daimyo out of the castle tower, and then took Fu Qinggu and Lanzi away, leaving Zhao Yige alone. Zhao Yige stayed alone on the tenth floor of the castle tower, and his hands were still tied by iron chains. He slammed his head against the walls, and found that although they were wooden, they were not so fragile that they could not be broken no matter how they hit, so he had no choice but to go to the next floor.
When he came to the ninth floor, as soon as he came down the stairs, he saw a person in the corner of the room, meditating in the faint light of a candle, and he didn't seem to notice Zhao Yige. Zhao Yige walked along the wall, always wary of that person, until he reached another staircase, and that person did nothing. Zhao Yige actually talked to that person at this time.
"Won't you stop me?"
The man in the corner didn't open his eyes, closed his eyes and said: "Don't stop, we have rules, no matter who walks from upstairs to downstairs, no matter who will stop it, but from downstairs to upstairs, there is only a dead end without a token." Go down, no one will stop you until you get to the first floor. ”
Unexpectedly, these guards still had such rules, and Zhao Yige didn't understand why there were such rules, so he still walked down the stairs, and sure enough, no one stopped him all the way, and he came all the way to the first floor. On the first floor, a tall figure stands in front of the door, and at first glance this person looks like a glimpse of the wall. This strong man turned around, he had a Chinese face, nearly 3 meters tall, and his fingers were almost thicker than Zhao Yige's arms. The strong muscles of the whole body are like stones growing on the body, which are extremely hard at first glance, and even the blood vessels are very thick and visible to the naked eye.
The man said to Zhao Yige: "My name is Wall Pillar, I guard the first floor of the Sky Guard Pavilion, you can't go out when you get to me, you can only defeat it." ”
"Isn't this a face-to-face devastation, where did the duel come from, my hands are tied. ”
"Don't worry about this, I'll help you untie it. The wall pillar walked over, grabbed the iron chain on Zhao Yi's singer, and ripped the chain with brute force alone. Zhao Yige looked at his hands incredulously, but he didn't expect the other party to actually untie himself, and then the wall pillar pointed to the corner of the wall, where Zhao Yige's Chiyang Sword was placed, which meant to tell him that he could get his weapon back. Zhao Yige cautiously walked to the corner of the wall, picked up his weapon, and then turned to look at the wall pillar.
"Aren't you going to take a weapon?"
"No, my body is a weapon. Outsiders, you'd better use your best to compete with me, there have been countless people who have wanted to assassinate the daimyo for many years, but they can't even enter the first layer, they are all blocked here, I hope you can show the strength of the mainlanders, and then you can die. ”
Zhao Yige frowned, then stretched, and actually smiled: "I can't die here, although I don't want to kill you, but if you let me go, I can only do this." Zhao Yige raised his sword and ran towards the wall pillar.
On the way to Qujiang, Danzo, Musashi, and Tenzo were ambushed by three ninjas from the Koga faction, namely Aoda Nogi, Shoto Asao, and Violet, each wearing ninja costumes in colors that matched their names.
"What are you going to do with the Koga faction, do you have breakfast?" said the three Yanagi brothers.
"How can killing a traitor be a rebellion?" Qingtian sneered.
"What are you talking about? The traitor of the Yanagi family was committed by that kid alone, and it has nothing to do with my Yanagi family, is what you did the meaning of the daimyo or the revenge of your Koga faction?"
"It can be said that it is the meaning of the daimyo and the meaning of our Koga faction. ”
"What the hell are you talking about? Our Yagyu family are the strongest samurai in the Lai Kingdom, and the daimyo will not be able to frame us. ”
"You may not understand what I mean, but when I say the daimyo and the Koga faction, I mean the same person. ”
Musashi seemed to understand Aota's words, and said in surprise: "You Koga faction want to plot to usurp the throne!"
Canglan, who was on the side, interrupted Qingtian, who wanted to continue talking: "Enough, Qingtian, there's no need to let them know too much, they are going to die anyway, and not only you, the General's Mansion will disappear from this world tonight." ”
"It's up to you, are you underestimating our Yanagi clan too much? The three members of the Yanagi family pulled out their matching knives and wanted to fight the three ninjas to the death, when the three ninjas triggered the mechanism under their feet, and the ground suddenly collapsed, revealing a large pit to throw the three people down, and the bottom of the pit was covered with iron thorns. The three of them jumped from their horses to the ground, and the three horses fell into the pit and were stabbed to death by iron thorns.
After landing on the ground, Musashi was very angry, and took the lead and used the Yagyu family's peerless sword to cut off the heads of three ninjas with one sword. The group behind him, Danzo and Tenzo, wanted him not to be impulsive, but before he could stop him, Musashi confronted the three ninjas alone. Musashi's knife slashed three people in an instant, and just as he wanted to brag that the other party was incompetent, he found that the three people he slashed were all dummies, and at that moment the other party used a stand-in technique to dodge the attack.
"Where are you going, don't hide in Tibet!" Musashi shouted in all directions, and suddenly threw many hidden weapons from the tree, Musashi blocked them one by one with his knife, and looked at the top of the tree: "Hide in the tree, I want you to see the consequences of underestimating the Yanagi family!" Then he jumped up and jumped to the top of the tree. But as he jumped in mid-air, he saw a flash of light in the air, but then he lost the ability to think, for his head separated from his body after that moment. Musashi's body and head smashed from the air to the ground.
"Musashi!" The other two had to watch Musashi's head in a different place, they were back to back, and they were vigilant, this area must have been covered with each other's mechanisms, and the other party deliberately led them here to make them fall into the trap. This dense forest is all full of steel wires that are cut like mud, and the sun can't reach the woods, so they can't find it at all, and the current situation is very unfavorable to the three members of the Yanagi family.
From behind a tree stepped a ninja in blue clothes, it was Azure, he pulled out his short knife behind him, and ran from the other end of the tree. Danzou asked Tenzo to guard behind him, and then fought with the Azure Ninja. The Yanagi family is not a swordsmanship family, and the ninjas are not their opponents in the duel of swordsmanship, Canglan and Tuan Zang received more than ten hands, and the short knife in their hands was beaten by Tuan Zang, and Tuan Zang then used the drawing knife to slash, but he didn't expect Canglan to jump up, and the sword qi flew into the woods, cutting the tree into two ends. And Canglan, who jumped into the air, didn't actually land, and flew in the air like a bird, and a mechanism was opened on his back, on which there was a device that could levitate in the air. Canglan took out a blowpipe and blew a poisonous needle in the air towards Tuan Zang, who couldn't deal with the units in the air, so he could only keep dodging. Because he had been concentrating on dodging, Danzang almost hit the tightrope again, but fortunately he reacted in time and only cut his clothes. Qingtian, who was hiding in the tree, also jumped down, holding a tightrope in his hand, and fought against Tuan Zang. Tuan Zang can be said to be attacked on his back and abdomen, and it is a little difficult to parry the attack on the ground and in the air at the same time, so he called out to Tianzang not far away, but no matter how he shouted, Tianzang did not react. In the gap between dodging the attacks of the two ninjas, Danzou immediately ran to Tenzo's side to check. When he walked in front of Tenzo, he found that Tenzo was in a stupor, unresponsive to what he said. Danzo shook him vigorously, hoping that Tenzo would come to his senses, but he didn't expect that his brother Tenzo suddenly picked up a kunai and stabbed him in the abdomen. Danzou was shocked: "You're not Tenzo!" pushed him away, and then Tenzo let out a woman's laugh and tore off his face, revealing the face of a woman, it was none other than the purple ninja, Violet.
"It's actually a disguise technique, it's careless! What happened to you hiding the sky?"
"His face is all with me, what do you think he should be now? Violet scoffed, and threw Tenzo's face to the ground. Grief-stricken Danzo yelled in the sky, his voice deafening, and the blue in the air also fell to the ground, and the three ninjas stood together and said to him, "Are you crying for help? No one can hear your voice." ”
However, of course, Tuan Zang was not asking for help, he was unleashing the anger in his heart. The sword in his hand shone brightly, and it slashed with a single move, with the potential of splitting the sky, and the huge sword qi rushed towards the three ninjas. The three ninjas wanted to leave, but even the inside began to shake, and the sword qi actually split the earth, the ground shook, a huge crack in the ground, and the dense forest were all split open, looking down from a high place, a large area of trees was cut down by brushing, and the three ninjas fell.
Exhausted, Danzou retracted his knife into its scabbard and walked over to the bodies of the three ninjas to check their lives and deaths. He saw Violet lying on the ground, and had just turned her over, only to find that it was another dummy! When he woke up, a knife had pierced his chest.
Yan Che kept using spirit movement in the air, and saw a group of people riding horses under his feet in the air, but he was eager to save people and ignored the people under his feet. The group of horseback riders were none other than the Yanagi family who had arrived, and they saw the demons who were moving in the air.
"Big brother, look, that person is actually moving in the air!"
"I saw it, but the fire in Qujiang has not been extinguished, and someone needs to support Qujiang to prevent demons from controlling the people of the town. We split up here, Otome and I went after Majin, and Jiro and Saemon went to Qujiang. Yanagi Taro spoke, and the four of them were divided into two waves. However, halfway through the ride, Taro Yanagi suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"It's strange, since the demons are on the same road as us, how can there be another army to move in advance......? Oh no, that errand!" "Yagyu Taro sensed that something was wrong, felt that his younger brothers were in danger, and had just dispersed his combat power, and it was obvious that someone had done it deliberately. He said to Otome, "Go and call Jiro and Saemon back, we've been tricked!" As soon as Otome heard that her eldest brother was so nervous, she knew the seriousness of the matter, and then she jumped off her horse and ran on foot. She ran twice as fast as a horse, just hoping that nothing would happen to them until they caught up with her two older brothers.
Yan Che flew all the way, kicked and smashed the wall outside the cell, and landed in the cell where Fu Qinggu had been before, but there was no longer any trace of them here. The ninjas guarding the cell were also startled, they didn't expect someone to fall from the sky, they gathered over and surrounded Yan Che.
"There used to be two women and a man here, where did they go?" Yan Toru questioned the group of ninjas who surrounded him, but the ninjas ignored his words and all of them attacked him. Yan Che watched them rush over, just in a hurry, twisted his head and said, "TMD, just looking for someone to vent." ”
After a burst of punches and kicks, all the ninjas were knocked down, Yan Che grabbed a ninja who was still clear, grabbed his collar and said, "Come on, where did they go?"
The ninja was bleeding from his mouth and nose, and replied weakly, "I was taken away by the upper shinobi and went to Fuchun Mountain." Yan Che threw away the ninja and rushed out of the cell, and in the air he saw a high mountain, and that high mountain might be Fuchun Mountain.
"Qinggu, you wait, I'll be here soon!"
