Chapter 44 The Danger of Songyang
When the moon hung high, Harita and his party were already outside the city. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Led by Rhea, the ninjas are scurrying through the forest. Their target was a small village hundreds of miles away, close to the battlefield of Zaoyi.
Obviously, the target of their operation this time, the famous Yoshida Matsuyo, lives here!
Ninjas are very strong in carrying weights and traveling long distances, and it is generally normal to travel dozens of miles. Well, this is probably also the training of this hard career of ninjas. However, in order to cope with possible accidents and conserve enough energy, they will still take a short break on the way.
Yoshida Matsuyo is said to have "instigated" many attacks by people with lofty ideals. Who knows if there will be a big war then.
As we got farther and farther away from Edo, the surrounding area became more and more desolate.
The villages are scattered and sparsely populated.
Her feet flashed, and Haruta showed a strange smile. It's still crowded, and when you meet a group of ninjas dressed in black and dressed strangely, I'm afraid that the celestials will be scared away when they see it.
In the distance, the horizon is turning white.
As soon as the leader of the landmines raised their hands, everyone stopped.
"Take a break. We'll be off again in half an hour!" The hoarse voice came from somewhere.
Ventriloquism?
Haruta raised her eyebrows. He also knows a little bit of this, but it always feels a little perverted, and in general, it's good to scare the little girl.
In the forest, the ninjas gathered in groups to rest, and each of them had a look of vigilance in their eyes.
The war was not only triggered by the war between the samurai and the celestials, but also the rivalry between the princes in various places. The Tokugawa shogunate's intention to take refuge in the Celestial Beings was not in the hope of unifying the country with the help of the Celestial Force!
In fact, if it weren't for the lack of strength of the shogunate, let alone those local princes who were clamoring every day, I am afraid that they would not even be in the eyes of the celestials. Bullying the good and fearing the weak is the instinct of human nature, and it is also a kind of sorrow.
Ninja creatures, on the other hand, are more timid than patient.
In the shade of a tree, Haruta leaned against a tree, her eyes narrowed slightly, staring at a gloomy man with a hat not far away. This guy was sent by Hanzo himself before he left, but what was even more striking was the slender katana at his waist - Notai Sword!
Usually more than three feet in length, the Ota Sword is often mentioned in the history of military weapons, mainly active in the late Kamakura period to the middle of Muromachi, but there are very few people who are proficient in this weapon technique in the history of martial arts!
This hat-to-hat man is actually a samurai who wields a notai sword! Obviously, it can't be just for show-off, but to really have confidence in this weapon!
When it comes to samurai, it is natural that they cannot all be warriors. No matter what time it is, the righteousness of the shogunate still has some effect. Even if it rots to the bones, someone will still stick it like a vicious dog.
None of Edo's famous samurai families were involved in such a thing. Even if there were, it probably wouldn't be so blatant.
Oh, it seems that Sakamoto Tatsuma, who is one of the four, was born in a famous family.
The hat-man who seemed to feel Harita's gaze and was thinking about something suddenly turned his head, and a cold and cold look suddenly appeared from the hat that covered his head.
Danger!
The cold hair rises!
The man just glanced at it, and it gave him a feeling of extreme danger!
Harita shrugged her shoulders and held up the kettle in motion, pretending to be nonchalant.
The man in the hat was stunned for a moment, did not say anything, but turned his head to himself, and continued to study his "philosophical" questions.
Under the shade of the trees, Haru took a small sip of water, slowing down her pounding heart.
The people of the shogunate!
Slightly swept the other party's clothes, with a katana at the waist, the color of the clothes was gray but definitely not ordinary materials.
As far as he knew, Yoshida Matsuyo was arrested when they were in their teens, and because of the age of the Gintama characters, Harita didn't know what Matsutaka was arrested. But now it seems that this is probably the time!
More than a dozen powerful ninjas in the Imperial Court, the strongest ninja in history, Reya, plus a shogunate samurai whose strength is unknown, unless the Shogunate sends a large force to protect him, otherwise Yoshida Matsuyo may be in a catastrophe!
After a short rest, Lei Lei was the first to get up, and the others hurriedly prepared. The group set off again!
They are not far from their goal!
.........
Niki Village, an ordinary village located near the battlefield of Zaoyi.
If you ask who the most famous person in the village is, then anyone with a normal IQ will tell you that it is the teacher Songyang of the private school at the head of the village.
Yoshida Matsuyo, this man has a gentle smile like the sun!
As long as there is him, any difficulties will become invisible, and any pain will be eliminated.
It was his existence that allowed the children in the village who lost their fathers due to the war to eat and drink, and what is even more touching is that he spared no effort to teach them literacy and martial arts.
Whether ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign, literacy is the privilege of the superior. For people of humble status, literacy represents a good career and a bright future!
Japan, on the other hand, is a country where knowledge and force are concentrated on the aristocracy.
There is no class in teaching, and this sentence is often just talk. However, Yoshida Matsuyo really did this, and he was loved by the majority of villagers. If it weren't for Yoshida Matsuyo, the guy who had been lazy as a dog since he was a child, would he be able to read and write?
However, what the villagers don't know is that a crisis is about to sweep Songyang Sensei!
To the east of the village, in the woods, a group of uninvited guests has arrived!
"Surround this house!" the hat-hatted man ordered, and the ninjas scattered in all directions, as if a large net had been opened. And Qingta is at a node in this network.
Raida didn't personally command, and he was the strongest ninja to be right. But to command the battle, not to mention whether everyone is willing to listen to him or not, this thing regards everyone else as prey except for the general and himself!
When everyone was in place, the hat man nodded and strode towards the main entrance of the private school.
"Yoshida Matsuyo, come out!"
A hoarse but majestic voice sounded, waking up the sleeping Yoshida Matsuyo.
Harita stood in one place, a hint of worry on her calm face.
It's not that he doesn't want to save Yoshida Matsuyo, but he doesn't have the ability! If it's just these middle ninjas, then he still has some certainty. But the man with the hat who didn't know the depth but made his hair chill, and the strongest ninja Reia, definitely didn't have any life!
In the early morning, the village is still in a peaceful and stable state.
Yoshida Matsuyo, a man who has been respected by the three of them all his life, stepped out of the door calmly, calmly, and with a gentle smile.
When he saw Yoshida Matsuyo's figure, the man's hand quietly caught the knife at his waist.
ps: To illustrate a small problem, Yoshida Matsuyo was the mentor of Sakata Gintoki, Katsura Kotaro and Takasugi Shinsuke when they were teenagers. And Tatsuma Sakamoto was born in a famous family and was not a student of Yoshida Matsuyo.
