On the way back to Ueda Nobukata, as long as he saw the appearance of Ueda Nobukata, the ordinary people knelt on the ground one after another, not daring to raise their heads, trembling all over, and waited until the footsteps were far away, and then raised their heads slightly.

An old man exclaimed, "How can there be evil spirits walking in this broad daylight? Scared the old man to death. ”

The son on the side said, "Daddy, that's the samurai master, I saw the shadow just now, and the ghost has no shadow."

But I heard from the ashigaru in the village that there was a ashigaru who liked to cut off people's heads and tie them to himself. ”

The old man's face was still defeated, and he didn't dare to speak, but the surrounding people talked about it.

Although the runaway ran, he followed according to the bloodstains, and he heard the villagers' discussions.

So he asked, "You said that the one who likes to tie his head to his body is Ashigaru, but this one is the samurai master who left." ”

The young man smiled and said, "That must be a meritorious achievement, I heard that it was the head of the Takeda family's Itagaki Suruga Shouxin Fang Hall, probably like this." ”

"And what's his name?" Ranbo continued to ask.

The young man shook his head and said, "It seems that his name is Koheirajiro, but he is already a samurai master, and the samurai master will change his name." ”

Ranbo felt that this was important news, and he immediately left the village and hurried to Katsura Castle.

Ueda Nobukata walked to the castle town in the evening, but at this moment he was dusty, and with a bloody body and two heads on his waist, all the people who saw him were frightened.

The riots in the castle town quickly attracted the attention of the castle defenders, and a samurai entered the castle town with several standing ashigaru and met with Ueda Nobukata.

It was getting dark, and the samurai was dumbfounded when he saw Ueda Nobukata, and the ashigaru behind him also began to tremble.

The samurai cheered up and shouted, "What a man! ”

When Ueda Nobukata heard the voice, he was a little more sober, and his brain was numb when he was in a hurry before. He hurriedly said: "I am the foreign affairs minister of the same heart Ueda Nobukata!" ”

The samurai was greatly surprised, and stepped forward and said, "How did Ueda become like this?" ”

Ueda Nobukata sat on the ground and said, "Don't mention it, I just went out not long ago when I encountered the chaos of the Takeda family and was almost killed." ”

As soon as the samurai glanced at the two heads on Nobukata's waist and looked at his appearance, he knew that he had experienced a fierce battle.

The samurai suddenly said, "Ueda is really brave. He turned around and said, "Come two people, help Tian Yu to rest!" ”

The two ashigaru immediately stepped forward and helped Ueda Nobukata to rest.

The samurai returned to the castle to report the situation.

The people of the castle town saw that it was quiet outside before slowly walking out.

Many people thought that the enemy was coming, and almost packed up their things and left.

But some people in the know started to discuss.

"Is that Nobukata Ueda? It's horrible. ”

"Of course, I have a relative who is a samurai master, and they all say that Ueda is a demon who came out of hell."

"Don't you believe me? Let me tell you, my relatives saw with their own eyes, Ueda took a person whose stomach was cut, and all the intestines in it flowed out, and he squeezed it back.

Then use the needle and thread to sew the clothes as if they were sewing clothes! The most amazing thing is that that person came back to life! ”

"Really? Did he go to Hades and get that man's ghost back? ”

"I guess yes, he's a ghost warrior!"

"Ah, that's terrible!"

Ranba, who had already rushed over, heard the chatter of the people, secretly wrote down the name of Ueda Nobukata, and then left Katsutao Castle.

Murakami Yoshikiyo listened to the retainer's report, frowned and said, "Turmoil? Hmph, Harunobu Takeda, this bastard is really stubborn. What happened to Nobukata Ueda? ”

The retainer replied: "My lord, there is nothing wrong with Ueda, only some minor injuries. ”

Murakami Yoshikiyoshi smiled: "He is really a fierce general, he was attacked by a chaotic wave, and he can also cut off two heads, hahaha, let him see me." ”

"Hah!" The retainer immediately stepped back to find Kohei Jiro.

Ueda Nobukata has now changed his clothes, the abrasions on his body have been scarred, and after a little treatment, he heard that Murakami Yoshikiyo was going to summon him, so he hurriedly went to Murakami Yoshikiyo's residence.

Murakami Yoshikiyo saw that Ueda Nobukata looked like he was fine, and said with a smile: "How is it, has the matter of going to contact Ogasawara Guardian been exposed?" ”

Ueda Nobukata paused and said: "Lord Qi, this matter has not been exposed, halfway through, his subordinates deliberately diverted to the small county, and the Takeda family will almost feel that his subordinates are going to contact the people of Sajiu County." ”

Murakami Yoshikiyoshi frowned and said, "Why are you doing this?" ”

Ueda Nobukata hurriedly said: "My lord, this will only make the Takeda family focus on Saku-gun, and they will definitely not think that the family will contact the Ogasawara Guardian Temple."

In this way, you can achieve the effect of taking it by surprise and attacking it unprepared, and it will definitely make the Takeda family suffer at a loss! ”

Murakami nodded and said, "You're right. Now that there is turmoil in the vicinity of Katsumao Castle, how do you plan to avoid them? ”

Ueda Nobukata had already thought about countermeasures when he was resting, and he said: "Ming Xiu plank road dark Chen Cang! ”

Murakami Yoshikiyo was puzzled: "What do you mean?" ”

Ueda Nobukata hurriedly explained: "This is an allusion to the Tang people, which means to hide the true intention behind the superficial action, and use the obvious action to confuse the other party, make the enemy have a delusion, and ignore his true intention, so as to win by surprise."

Since the Takeda family would later guess that the family was going to contact the people of Saku-gun, they would focus their attention on Saku-gun.

His subordinates stayed in Katsubi Castle to attract the attention of the other party, and secretly sent other messengers to Ogasawara Guardian's house. ”

Murakami nodded and said, "Your idea is very good, so let's do it." ”

Ueda Nobukata nodded and said, "Ha!" ”

After he left Murakami Yoshikiyo's residence, he went to find Iwashita Kiyoshimi, he didn't know many people, and now he can only ask Iwasita Kiyoshi for help.

And in the Takeda family's main camp, the detective heard the news and told Koheirajiro's message.

Takeda Harunobu muttered to himself, "Ueda Shinkata? Did Itagaki die at his hands? ”

Takeda Harunobu's eyes revealed a look of hatred, and he stood up suddenly, gritted his teeth and said, "Order!" It is necessary to take down the head of Ueda Nobukata! I'm going to sacrifice his head to Itagaki! ”

Kansuke Yamamoto hurriedly stopped Takeda Harunobu and shouted, "My lord! Calm down! Now is not the time to be impulsive, please be considerate of the feelings of your retainers!

Itagaki doesn't want to see the lord like this, no matter what, please don't be impulsive for the sake of the Takeda family! ”

Takeda Harunobu suddenly sat back on the maza as if deflated, his head bowed, his hair scattered, and he was silent.
