All right. It was clear that the plan to make a detour back to Nijo Castle with the ladies who were obviously more likely to listen to her rhetoric and sophistry had avoided the eyes and ears of the Shogun and his entourage, and that they were obviously more likely to listen to her.

In this case, she could only grit her teeth and surround Mrs. Nobuko with the other maids, and rush out with the guards with their heads suffocated.

Perhaps it was because Ashikaga Yoshiteru had already attracted most of the thieves who were ambushed outside Kiyomizuji Temple, and now they rushed out again, and there were few enemies in front of them. However, the Imperial Observatory traveled today by a "driving cage" - that is, a means of transportation similar to a sedan chair, so it is really inconvenient to escape quickly now.

The Shogun was riding in an ox cart today, but the speed of the ox cart was probably not much different from that of the cage. Ryuzumi and the other maids were on foot—she herself could have gone far in one go, but a delicate and frail lady like Nobuko, who had just walked in Kiyomizuji Temple, was already out of breath. Now he was being dragged by the maids and guards all the way to run, and he was even more out of breath, and his face was pale, as if he was about to collapse in the next moment.

Moreover, after catching up with the Shogun's party, things got even worse.

Yanagizumi didn't know who Matsunaga Shu was, nor did he know the appearance of the Miyoshi trio, but the men who besieged Ashikaga Yoshiteru actually attacked quite violently—this is not at all similar to the situation recorded in history that "because of the siege of soldiers and horses, and the heavy guards, no less than Rakuchu, they failed to succeed".

…… Could it be that the Marching of Time has finally played a damn role at such a time?!

Liu Quan's heart tightened.

It is no longer possible to take into account the instructions conveyed by Kitsunosuke before the battle-"There is no need to directly interfere with the behavior of the time-traced march, only a detailed investigation". If she doesn't take some action right away, it's uncertain whether she will be able to retreat from this place, and what else is there to talk about The whole process of continuing to investigate the change of Yonglu has also been touched by the time-retrospective march?!

"Go and grab the horses, let the princess and Midai-sama ride, and get back to Nijo-jo Castle as soon as possible!" she snapped.

Anyway, even if she doesn't shout, when she goes to grab the horse, the other party will see through the motive, so it's better to yell loudly and let her own guards do a favor.

Sure enough, she shouted like this, which inspired her own thinking. Immediately, two or three guards split up and ran to both sides of the road.

However, the number of enemies was much larger than expected, and for a while, the side guarding the general and the imperial station actually fell into a bitter battle, and the battle was very difficult.

And after all, there were the majority of the guards on the general's side—because most of the enemy's men were also besieging there—and it was too difficult for Liu Quan to pretend to be a weak and pitiful young maid who had never seen the world, and to resist attacking the enemies who showed their flaws and fought vigorously.

Sometimes even the knife was almost cut to the top of her head, and she had to tighten the "small sleeves" on the top of her head—that is, a whole small sleeved single dress draped on the top of the head of a samurai woman of this era—to hide in Tibet, screaming, and not forgetting to protect Mrs. Nobuko Godaisho, who was already frightened and almost paralyzed behind her......

Liu Quan felt a hardship in life that he had never experienced before.

They were gradually forced to the side of Sakamichi by the attacking thieves, and not only did they not succeed in escaping, but they were getting farther and farther away from the heavily protected general.

Although the cage used by Mrs. Nobuko was parked here, now the cage had fallen to the ground, and two of the sturdy servants who carried the cage had also fallen on the road, and a large pool of blood was flowing from under them, and it seemed that they could no longer live. The others were nowhere to be found, and even the general's ox cart was far away from them, let alone the horses.

Suddenly, Ryuizumi heard the maid Fujimi let out an exclamation—accompanied by a muffled thud, and she was clearly unable to retreat, crashing into the wall of the house beside the road.

Before Ryuzumi could look back at the situation, she heard a low sobbing from Mrs. Nobuko behind her.

"We, there's no way back!" was the voice of the maid Hisatsu.

This was followed by the exclamation of the maid Inaba.

"Ahh

Ryuizumi jerked her head back and saw Inaba, who was still agile, leaning to the side, dangerously dodging the blade that was slashing at her.

With a click, Liu Quan felt that his nerves, which had been tensed to the extreme, were broken.

Although Inaba was able to dodge the knife, she also fell to the ground unsteadily, and when she fell, the encirclement that had originally surrounded Mrs. Nobuko in the middle immediately broke a gap.

Ryuzumi suddenly thought of the precious kindness that Mrs. Nobuko had unleashed to her the night before. At the moment when she knew that she and her husband were in danger, she took pity on Liu Quan, the new maid, and didn't want the maid "Ah Xue" and her lover to give their lives in vain, so she wanted to let go of "Ah Xue" and her lover, and promised to support Ah Xue and her lover to sign a marriage contract with her noble identity-

Was it worth the risk to be able to unleash such a precious person of kindness?

Liu Quan made up his mind.

Fortunately, the popular women's clothing in this era is no longer a complicated twelve single clothes, but small sleeves! Otherwise, it would be too troublesome to take it off! This time, she didn't take the Three Sun Moon Sect out of the battle, and if she shouted at others "Give me a knife in the back", eighty percent would immediately be stabbed in the heart instead of just cutting the twelve orders with a blade!

She pulled the small sleeve from the top of her head, rolled it into a roll in her hand at random, and then instead of retreating, she threw the roll of clothes towards the man who was about to slash at her, who obviously belonged to the Miyoshi family!

The man was caught off guard—or rather, he didn't expect anyone from this group of defenseless weak women to burst on—and he was stunned for a moment, the roll of clothes had already smashed him in the face!

Liu Quan didn't give him a chance to react, and the moment the clothes hit him in the face, she took a step forward, turned sideways, let him hold the knife's right hand, and then turned her palm into a knife and smashed it down on his wrist!

Her strength, which had been strengthened to its full level many times, was certainly not comparable to that of an ordinary young girl. The man's wrist was numb, his fingers loosened, and the knife in his hand fell. But before the knife fell to the ground, it was copied by Liu Quan in his hand, and with a twist of his wrist, the blade was reversed, and he slashed the man's arm with a bang, and immediately bled like a torrent!

The man let out a terrible scream, and subconsciously hugged his injured right arm with his intact left hand. But Liu Quan didn't give him time to see who the opponent in front of him was, and as soon as his wrist flipped, the blade facing upwards turned towards his waist and abdomen, and he swept across with a knife in both hands.

The man fell to the ground without saying a word, and did not get up again.

Liu Quan shook the snatched sword in his hand, and turned to Mrs. Nobuko and several maids behind him-

But they found that they were no longer crying, and the hands holding their heads were also lowered, and they slowly straightened up, staring at her with surprised faces.

Inaba, who had fallen to avoid the blade earlier, slowly got up from the ground, with an incredulous, dream-like expression, staring at Ryuzumi's right hand holding the knife, and muttered, "...... Is it you?!...... Defeat that wicked man......?!"

Liu Quan: "......"

She didn't know what to say for a while.

As a result, the maid Fujimi helped her out of the siege.

"Is this ...... Could it be the swordsmanship that Matsudaira-sama taught you!" she asked with excitement on her face.

Liu Quan: "Well...... This - is it...... Right?"

She replied a little weakly, but the others suddenly showed expressions of excitement and disbelief, with a sense of happiness that they had survived.

Hisamatsu: "Matsudaira-sama will actually teach you swordsmanship! How much he must love you to put down the pride of this samurai!"

Liu Quan: "......???"

Although it was not the first time she had pretended to be an ancient woman, she still did not know much about these ancient traditions. Of course, now is not the time to study, she can only force a smirk and say, "Now is not the time to talk about this...... Let's find a horse, and we'll have to take Lord Godai back to the palace as soon as possible......"

All right, and the frightened women were apparently all they could do to listen to her—but where were they going to snatch the horses?

The guards who protected them and rushed out of the Kiyomizu Temple just now had already been cut down two in the scuffle, and one of them had not returned from running to look for the horses, otherwise they would not have let the man with the knife just now rush in front of them, causing them to avoid it, and Liu Quan had to automatically expose his skills;

Liu Quan was in a dilemma for a while.

But worse is yet to come.

When she paused for a moment because of her thoughts, there were already several men on the opposite side who were obviously thieves holding knives, shouting one after another, "Since this side can't be attacked for a long time, I'll catch his wife and coerce him to comply!", already changing the direction of attack and rushing towards them!

Willow Springs: !!

What about the men who say that they are good and do not harm the female dependents?!Are all the demeanors fed to the dogs?!

But think about it, the other party is the famous "No. 1 villain of the Warring States" Matsunaga Hide, and even the former lord Miyoshi Changqing said that he would die of anger, and he also said that he would start with the young master, and in the legend, he also occupied the wife and concubine of the new widow of the lord;

However, now Mrs. Nobuko's side can only rely on her little force value. I don't know if the time-traced march did something from it, ambushing Ashikaga Yoshiteru's men and horses outside Kiyomizuji Temple, it is so much that it makes people feel that the general will not be able to survive tomorrow's Yongroku change and will receive a boxed lunch. Now it would be a fantasy to have the guards on the General's side allocate some more manpower to protect Mrs. Nobuko's side.

Liu Quan gritted his teeth, clenched the knife in his hand, and lowered his eyebrows.

She used to do a lot of things with one enemy and many enemies, but now that the situation is urgent, she can't care about pretending to be weak and pitiful.

She lowered her voice and shouted, "Lord Midai, stand back! Hisamatsu, a few of you surround the Odai!

Before he finished speaking, a man running at the front had already raised the cold knife in his hand and swung it towards Liu Quan, who was blocking the front!

Liu Quan flashed the knife and walked around behind the man—she didn't have the spirit of "killing people must be dignified and open-faced, and a sneak attack from behind is just a villain's behavior!" Shidao is not enlightened, go qiē fù, and cut a long cut on the man's waist with a knife.

Her strength value was cultivated to max, and the benefits were immediately manifested, and when the knife went down, the man fell to the ground with a scream. Although he didn't die immediately, he couldn't stand up and continue fighting for a short time.

Liu Quan didn't have time to check how much blood was left in the enemy's blood trough—she went around to the man's side and slashed at him, and then flashed behind the man, right in front of the two men running behind him.

Before she went out today, she had put a little effort into her clothes—although she was wearing small sleeves, the hem was deliberately not tightly tightened, and her movements were not much restricted at the moment; and she also added a belt to her straw sandals, which were previously covered by the hem of the small sleeves, and she couldn't see it, and now when she wants to cut people, it is much more convenient than the kind of shoes that can only be pulled forward in small steps.

And with one to two, she didn't waste a minute, and immediately flew up with a kick - and raised the loess on the side of the road.

"Blind to the earth!" she exclaimed, with a smug emotion in her tone.

Of course, the other party could not think of this kind of sword move, and almost immediately hit the move, and the dust entered the eyes.

Almost at the same time, the two people subconsciously braked at their feet, stretched out their left hand to rub their eyes.

Of course, Liu Quan will not let go of such a great opportunity, and in the next second, he will ravage up, and the blade will be wrapped in the wind, and he will swing it down in front of each other!

Then, in addition to the dull sound of a human body falling to the ground, there was also her slightly smug shout:

"How's that?"

The fourth man, who ran a little slower, and saw that the first three men had all fallen under the young girl's knife in an instant, stopped in fright, and turned back and shouted, "Again, a few more people to help!"

Before his words fell, the "very tricky" woman stepped forward quickly, without giving him a moment to react, and immediately attacked with three swords in a row, and the stormy attack was no less than that of a man, and instantly forced him back a lot.

The man was caught off guard, and though he thought he was much better than the three slashed guys in front of him, the timing, angle, and trick of the young girl's surprise attack were just right, and even though he had just stood a little further away with caution, he couldn't dodge, and the clothes on his chest were slashed by her blade, opening a long gap.

He suddenly took a few steps back, looking at the young girl in front of him who lowered her eyebrows, her eyes were cold, and her momentum was completely outward, and he instantly felt a chill from his bones.

The cause of the chill was very simple—it was because subconsciously, I had already judged this girl to be a difficult opponent.

He barely managed to stabilize his mind, and shouted in a trembling voice, "You, who are you......!" What's that trick!!"

The young girl sneered. The aura of her previous low-brow and smooth gaze had completely disappeared, and she now looked like a sharp, sharp knife that had been unsheathed.

"Well," she replied to his question.

"That's—'Flat Blue Eyes'. ”
