Qing Huaxiang and his entourage set off on the second day, seeing that the mountain city of Yoshida County was in sight, but they walked extra carefully on the road, and when they walked less than ten miles, they felt that the surrounding atmosphere was not right, and there seemed to be a wind between the grass and trees. Could it be the 'Maoist' family? ”

Dongmen Qingshen "groaned": "If it is the 'Mao' Li family, then we will be in a catastrophe!" However, it stands to reason that it should not! This is their land, and if they want to destroy us, they can just send a few thousand people over; If it's plotting against us, it shouldn't be in this place. ”

Li Rongjiu said: "Then what should I do? ”

The East Gate Kei sent Lee Sung-tae and a guide to search in the direction that the World Ghost Masa had said last night, and sure enough, he found the hill that the World Ghost Masa had said, and at the same time sent two samurai to take the letter written by Yoshitaka Ouchi to 'Mao' Toshimotosho to the mountain castle of Yoshida County, and made an agreement with the two samurai: one of the bento boxes was turned back in the middle of the walk to report safety. The team found a place with a wide view to rest temporarily.

After noon, Li Chengtai came back and reported that there was such a hill, and although the geographical location of the mountain was remote, there were indeed some abandoned houses, and there was only one road up the mountain. They searched the surroundings and found nothing suspicious, and Li Chengtai was there to guard the intersection of the mountain and up the mountain, but sent someone back to report.

However, when I went to the mountain castle of Yoshida-gun, there was no news. Dongmen' Qingdao: "Things are strange! Then they changed their direction, and first marched towards the hill, and as soon as they changed their direction, they did not go for miles, and people kept coming out of the forests, mountains, and rocks! At the end, there seemed to be dozens of people, all of whom were dressed as Japanese civilians, but they all had weapons in their hands!

Li Rongjiu exclaimed: "Sure enough, there is an ambush!" ”

The East Gate Qing led the people to retreat quickly to the hill. Both sides are foot soldiers, the speed of the retreating party is average, the chasing side can not catch up, retreat to the east 'gate' Qing a look, it is really a good low and small "hill", because it is small, you can see the whole picture at a glance, so it is difficult to hide people in broad daylight, but three of them are quite steep, there is only one road to go up, because of the situation on Li Chengtai Mountain, Li Chengtai said: "We have searched on the mountain, no one." The house also looked like no one had lived in it for a long time. ”

At this time, the pursuers had caught up, and the East Gate Qing ordered to withdraw up the mountain and resist! The intersection of going up and down the mountain can only be used by about five or six people, which is not extremely dangerous! However, Burapa and the others lined up on the mountainside with five muskets, escorted by five melee swordsmen in front and behind, and seven archers such as Li Chengtai were also interspersed in the middle. Dongmenqing sent three or four people to patrol other places on the hill to prevent the other party from climbing up from other directions, and he and Yu Buqi went into those old houses to inspect them, and saw that the table and the ground were crowded with dust, and there were only a few very new footprints, which must have been left by Li Chengtai and others.

Yu Buqi said: "It looks like a place where the poor people live in the mountains. I just moved out for some reason. ”

East Gate' Qingdao: "This may be the place where they used to live when the world ghost was in power. ”

Suddenly, there were several banging gunshots, and the east 'gate' hurriedly rushed out, it turned out that the people under the mountain couldn't wait, and tried to attack, but they were frightened back by a burst of gunfire from Burapa! In fact, there are only five muskets such as Burapa, and under the current situation, the power of actual combat may not be better than that of the archers led by Li Chengtai, but the people below seem to be very afraid of this musket! As soon as he heard the gunshots, although only one person was shot and two were shot, he still retreated in a panic.

The east 'gate' Qing looked down, and saw that there were more than 100 people gathered at the foot of the mountain at this time, and roughly calculated the number of people who could be seen, and felt that there were less than 200 people, so he said to everyone: "Everyone rest assured! Not a member of the 'Maoist' family! If it was the 'Mao' family, it shouldn't have sent only such a few people! ”

Li Chengtai said: "Anyway, they are all here to beat us, what if they are from the 'Mao' Li family?" ”

Dongmen' Qing smiled: "How is it the same! If it is a member of the 'Maoist' family, then the enemy is a local battle, and the more he fights, the more courageous he becomes! But if it's not someone from the 'Mao' family, it's sneaking into someone else's territory to ambush and sneak attack! The manpower transfer of this scale is not big, but it is not small. It may be possible to hide it from the 'Mao' Li family for a day or two, but it is impossible to hide it for a long time! So as long as we keep it for a day or two, we will be fine as soon as the people of the 'Mao' Li family arrive! ”

Yu Buqi said: "But what if the people of the 'Mao' Li family acquiesce to these guys to deal with us? ”

Dong'men Qing was very unsure about this problem in his heart, and thought that he could use hundreds of people to infiltrate here, most of which could only be done by the allied forces and friendly forces close to the 'Mao' Li family. But he smiled and said, "That's impossible!" Once here, it's too close to the mountain castle of Yoshida-gun! We are here as guests, if there is an accident here, the 'Mao' Li family will not be able to get over the face! I can't shirk responsibility! Second, I heard that 'Mao' Liyuan is an ambitious person, and his current power in western Japan is not small, so it would be good if he didn't mess with others, and allowed others to mess with him? So I dare to judge! These people came to attack us without the tacit approval of the 'Maoists'! ”

When everyone heard this, they felt reasonable, and their hearts were much more steady. If they only keep watch for a day or two, two or three days, the dry food and water they bring with them are enough, and they don't have to worry about supplies. Although their own forces are inferior to the enemy, they are more than enough to hold this crossing. Li Rongjiu even asked Ying to go down and kill for a while, but Dongmenqing refused to agree, thinking that there was no need to take risks for the time being.

From the east 'gate' Qing's retreat to this hill until the sun set, the enemy under the mountain organized a total of three attacks, all of which were repulsed by Qinghua Xiangzhong one by one. The first two times they fled as soon as the guns were released, and on the third time, the enemy finally rushed forward and was about to take over, but Li Rongjiu had already led the swordsmen to rush into the enemy group first, and killed seven or eight in one go, so that the attackers rushed to flee for their lives, if it weren't for the withdrawal of the East Gate Qing Drink Order, he would almost rush down the mountain in one go!

Li Rongjiu retreated angrily and said, "Why should you worry about being in charge! I can beat a hundred of such people out of ten! ”

Dongmen' Qingdao: "The combat effectiveness of these people who came up the mountain is indeed not very good, but how do you know that the ones who haven't shot down the mountain are so bad?" What if you get trapped? We're few people now! Not a single man can be lost! ”

Li Rongjiu was speechless about this, but after a while, he said again: "But it's not a way for us to just wait!" ”

The east 'gate' Qing said: "Hold on for a day or two first, and then see the situation." ”

After the sun went down, Dongmenqing assigned tasks to let his subordinates take turns to sleep, and he waited all night. At the second watch, Li Chengtai hurriedly came to report, saying that there seemed to be someone trying to climb up to the north, and the east 'gate' Qingyi heard that he was trotting over, and when he arrived there, two archers were already aiming. Dongmen Qing looked in the direction of the archer's intended 'shooting', and vaguely saw a black shadow slowly moving upward, thinking, "There is only one person!" It was probably not a night attack. Then he said, "Let him come up." ”

When the man climbed up, he looked down at the torch and saw that it was a ghost of the world! The east 'gate' was surprised: "Why are you!" ”

Shigui Zhengmu knelt down, and after saluting to the east 'gate', he said: "Lord of the east 'gate', after we left last night, we went to 'handover' business overnight, they ...... They won't give us a penny of their hard work! We even ...... Not even 'life' is guaranteed! ”

Dongmenqing thought that they would be able to see their employer come here again in one day and one night, presumably that employer was also in Anyi now, but he only sighed and asked, "What happened later?" ”

Shigui Masamu said: "My eldest brother said that after we took over the business, we can't 'reveal' the secret of our employer. But when this business is over, you can take on another business. As he spoke, he took out a bloody garment and said, "This is what we picked up on the road." ”

Dongmen Qing took a look, his expression darkened, and he said to Li Chengtai: "This is the clothes of the brother we sent out!" ”

Li Rongjiu said angrily: "Who is trying to harm us!" ”

Shigui Zhengmu fell to the ground and said, "My brother said, I can't say this!" My brother also said that it would not be difficult for the supernatural powers of Lord Edom's 'Gate' to find out about this matter in the future. Therefore, please don't 'force' us. ”

Dongmenqing nodded and said, "So you came tonight to pick up my business?" ”

Shigui Zhengmu said: "Yes! However, we still owe a pair of 'legs' and a hand to the East Gate, so we don't ask for any compensation for this business! ”

Dongmen' Qing sighed and said, "As long as you help me do things wholeheartedly, you won't get paid!" But what can you do to help me now? ”

Shigui Zhengmu said: "We can't do much, but we are quite familiar with this area. It's still okay to help the East 'Gate' adults run 'errands' and pass the word. ”

Higashimen Kei hesitated for a while, then took out the letter written by Yoshitaka Ouchi to 'Mao' Li Takayuan, and said, "Can you send this letter to Yamashiro in Yoshida County?" ”

Yu Buxi exclaimed: "Boss! This man is coming strangely, beware of deceit! ”

Dongmen' Qing heaved again and said, "What can he extort from me?" If this letter cannot be sent, it is equal to nothing! And I have a gut feeling that these brothers can be trusted! As he spoke, he handed the letter to the world ghost Masaki.

Shigui Masamu took it with both hands, knelt on the ground and said, "Thank you for your trust!" My brother is all dead, and my soul will send this letter to Yamajo Castle in Yoshida County! ”

Dongmen' Qing smiled: "Don't say anything dead!" Just these people at the bottom of the mountain may not be trapped to death! As long as we can get through the difficulties, we will have a good life in the future! After a pause, he said: "After going down, tell the political time, you have done a good job in this business, and you don't have to live a hard life in the future!" I've got a lot of business for you to do! ”

The ghost Zhengmu was overjoyed, and he bowed again, and then took advantage of the night to go down the mountain.
