Japan: Imperialism Chapter 52: The Mole (3)
When Aozaki stood in front of the small building where Toshimori Doi was, his heart was still filled with a sense of the absurdity of what he had done.
"Why should I ask for a second attack?" He asked himself over and over again, but could not get an answer. "It's either crazy or I'm crazy!"
After making sure he wasn't crazy, the poor spy looked at the paper ball that the dwarven ninja had given him for an hour. It wasn't until he closed his eyes and lay on the bed, every word on the paper ball appeared in the darkness, that a desperate Ozaki stuffed the crumpled paper ball into his mouth.
"It's the world that's crazy!"
Either way, after receiving the order and making sure that it is correct, Ozaki must carry out the instructions of his superiors.
So this morning, the red-eyed Ozaki lifted the curtain of Kei Oda's tent.
Oda, who was pouring a small bowl of natto soup into his mouth, looked at the guests who broke into the tent with some surprise, and subconsciously said, "Hey, Ozaki-kun, good morning." ”
Ozaki nodded with a heavy face, and without taking off his shoes, he strode in, leaned his katana against the low table, and slowly sat down cross-legged, quietly staring into Oda's eyes.
Oda looked at his fellow villagers who came uninvited early in the morning, slowly put the bowl down, and said in a low voice, "Ozaki-kun, don't do anything stupid." ”
Ozaki was startled, hundreds of thoughts flashed in his heart, and he thought that the person in front of him was a hidden master, or simply his own colleague.
He suppressed the surprise in his heart and showed a calm smile: "Oda-kun, I don't know what I mean by this?" ”
Oda pondered his sentence for a moment, seemingly trying to mobilize the vocabulary in his head, trying to make his words less irritating: "Ozaki-kun, running away is a great damage to the honor of the samurai... You must think twice about unseemly behavior! ”
Ozaki lowered his head, blocking Oda's gaze from looking at his face. The muscles on his face twitched slightly, but his shoulders trembled slightly, and he looked emotional.
Oda hurriedly waved his hand: "Ozaki-kun, don't worry, I didn't mean that." ”
"I mean, if you want to go to the rear, you have to bring along..."
"Oda-kun!" Ozaki was holding back a smile when he suddenly heard what Oda said, and as if he heard a thunderbolt close at hand, he instantly raised his head and roared.
Due to being too nervous, the sound of this loud shout was a little broken.
Oda was startled by this sudden shout, and just as he wanted to speak, he heard Ozaki's words quickly and emotionally scolded: "I didn't expect Oda-kun to look at me like this!" I didn't expect that in Oda-kun's eyes, Akiichi of the Ozaki family would be such a coward with no honor! I didn't expect that Oda-kun would think that I would have to bear such a shameful title as 'Ozaki who ran away'! ”
"Do you think I'm here to say goodbye to you?" After a long sentence, Ozaki has successfully mobilized his emotions. At this time, his face was red due to overexcitement, his body sat up straight, his hands pressed on the table, and he looked like he was going to turn his face and hold a Hongmen banquet: "I came here to risk my life to help Xiao Tianjun!" ”
Speaking of which, Ozaki's louder and louder voice had already attracted the attention of Oda's army outside the tent. A samurai under Oda lifted the curtain of the tent and tentatively poked his head in to see if he could make some action.
Oda looked at him with embarrassment on his face, and was about to speak, when Ozaki yelled, "Get out!" ”
The samurai was so shaken by the roar that he could only look at his lord with a hard head.
Oda was stared at by Ozaki's fierce gaze as if he wanted to choose someone to devour, so he had to whisper, "You go out, you are not allowed to come in without my order." ”
Ozaki stared deeply at Oda, the muscles of his face quivering slightly at a specific frequency - a technique that Ozaki had never practiced in his previous solo training, and today was the first time he had successfully performed it - and then he stood up with his lips pursed, his head twisted to the right, and he looked up at the roof of the tent, his eyes blinking vigorously, as if to suppress his fluctuating mood.
"Kei Oda." He said in a stiff voice, "I am very painful, I am that image in your heart. ”
"Maybe I've done something wrong before that has made you misunderstand me." Ozaki clenched his fist in his sleeve as he said - he felt that his acting skills had reached the peak, and even in the corners where the other person would never have been able to see, he was carefully making movements that fit his set state of mind.
After saying these words, Ozaki showed a disheartened expression, and his spine, which had always been straight, bent uncontrollably. He turned around tiredly, and his voice was low: "I will apply to change positions with Qiandao and let me attack in the second batch." ”
He got up and left the low table in the middle of the tent and walked towards the tent entrance.
Hearing this, Xiao Tian behind him had already subconsciously straightened up, and his hand pressed the table to prop himself up.
Walking to the exit of the tent, Ozaki reached out and lifted the curtain. But before leaving the tent, he turned his head again, let the morning sun shine in, and bathed his side face in a warm light: "This may save you." ”
Oda was already stunned by Ozaki's words. He stood there like a goose, watching Ozaki lower the tent curtain and disappear into the glorious spring light.
It wasn't until a few minutes later that he felt the stiffness in his neck and slowly lowered his head.
"It's... Ozaki-kun's knife! When he saw the katana on the table, he realized how much damage he had done to Ozaki with what he had just said, so angry and disappointed that he forgot to take the saber with him.
"Ozaki-kun, please wait!" Oda grabbed the knife so hard that he didn't even remember putting on his shoes, so he strode out...
And Ozaki, who had just returned to the camp, was still full of satisfaction and appreciation for his on-the-spot performance.
From the moment I heard that Oda, the descendant of a cowardly Osaka businessman, was running away, I realized that if I tried to act according to the prepared script, this damn coward would definitely say something like "Please take me with you".
Then I went into a state of complete improvisation. Every action made in those few minutes, every word spoken, was thought out in a few seconds of mind turning, and it was put into action without a rehearsal opportunity. Fortunately, he performed very well, and he could be written into the espionage textbook without deletion.
Well, especially if he deliberately left the knife with Oda, that fool would definitely send it over with tears in his eyes, and then kneel down and make a gesture to cut his stomach, right?
Ozaki thought about it and decided to avoid such an embarrassing episode, so he said to his royal family Yamamoto: "Wait a while, if Oda Kei comes, you can tell him that I will go to find His Excellency Doi, so that he doesn't have to wait for me." ”
Yamamoto bowed respectfully. I had followed His Excellency General Oda to General Oda, and I had the privilege of listening to everything General Oda had to say. He remembered vividly that he was deeply impressed by the noble spirit and samurai demeanor of His Excellency the General, who was fearless and righteous, and would rather risk his own mortal life than try to save his friend. As His Excellency the Shogun strode away, the Oda samurai around the tent all bowed to the ground and paid the highest respect to the warrior who had left with his head held high in the sun.
He raised his head, looked at the general who was quietly far away, and muttered in a low voice: "Lord Ozaki, there is really the style of an ancient Chinese general!" ”
Then the camera cuts to the front of Toshimori's building, which is paved with small stones.
Our Mr. Mole strained his face and tried to make his eyes reveal a complex demeanor of resoluteness and sadness, and determination in sorrow, and a complex demeanor of calm and decisiveness in his determination.
Kitajiro, who had already informed Doi Toshimori of his intentions, stood in front of him with a very special look on his face.
"Please come in, Ozaki-kun," Kitajiro said softly. He turned to the side, leaned forward slightly, and reached out to mark the way for Ozaki, "The old man is ready to see you." ”
Ozaki nodded, straightened his clothes lightly, and walked into the room under the reverent gazes of the servants and royal family members around him...
At noon, General Ozaki Akikazu volunteered to exchange news of the order of attack with General Chishima Bunshi, which swept through the entire upper echelons of the corps like a summer typhoon.
Oda, who was waiting at Ozaki camp with a katana in his arms, heard the news from the believer and stayed in his tent.
According to what Yamamoto told Ozaki, Oda stood motionless at the time, tears welling up from his eyes, and two water marks were drawn on his face.
And Qiandao Fan, who was notified of the situation and knew that he had been transferred to the fourth batch to attack the Void Fortress, sighed to his royal family after the believer left: "Oda Kei has made a good friend... Even if it's just an ordinary fellow countryman, he is willing to risk his life to save people, and His Excellency Ozaki is a real warrior... I'm not as far as him. ”
