A fast horse galloped down the road.

Takeda was on his horse, his heart filled with fear, and his body couldn't help but tremble when he remembered the scene he had seen not long ago.

He was a samurai under Shimazu Takeo, and along with two other samurai, he was sent outside of Motoyama Castle to investigate the situation. Shimazu was worried that something would happen to Motoyama Castle guarded by Chiba Noyoshi, so he instructed them to report to him at any time if there was any situation in Motoyama Castle, so even if Kono lacked horses, Shimazu Koo allocated each of them a good horse.

Yesterday morning, when Toyotomi Shunyi called for a battle outside Motoyama Castle, he watched from a distance, and then Toyotomi Shunyoshi fled with his troops, and when Chiba Noyoshi led people to chase and kill, they discussed it for a while, and finally decided that the two samurai would follow him, while Takeda stayed behind to continue to check the situation.

Because a few days ago, a thief came to call for battle, and then Chiba Noyoshi chased and came back soon after, so this time Takeda didn't take it to heart and waited slowly outside Motoyama Castle.

Time passed slowly, the sun gradually turned west, Takeda only then realized that something was not quite right, it stands to reason that at this time Chiba Noyoshi and his two companions had already returned, and now they are still missing, it is a little unusual, is there something wrong?

Takeda's heart was sudden, and he ran into the forest in the distance and took out a short pony (a specialty of the Wa Kingdom, known for his endurance), mounted the horse, and chased after him in the direction his companion had left.

An inconspicuous strip of cloth hung on the tree, Takeda stepped forward and took it down, his face was happy, the strip of cloth was on the clothes of one of his companions, Takeda knew, this was their original agreement, if someone between them tracked must leave marks along the way, so that future generations can investigate and track.

It was slowly getting dark, and Takeda was afraid that he would not be able to see the marks left by his companions, so he didn't dare to run too fast on his horse. After he walked more than ten miles, the sky was completely dark, and he knew that if he went on blindly, he would probably deviate from the route, so he simply stopped.

He tied the horse to a tree on the side of the road, and then quickly climbed up another big tree more than ten meters away, took out the dry food in his arms and nibbled it. When he had finished his dry food, he did not go to sleep immediately, but lay down on a tree and listened quietly to the movements around him, and finally fell into a deep sleep when he was too sleepy.

Even so, he straps a short knife to his right hand, allowing him to fight back as quickly as he can if something unexpected happens.

Takeda and the other two samurai were Shimazu Shoo's personal guards, and the reason why Shimazu Shoo chose the three of them to come to Motoyama Castle to investigate the situation was because he knew that they were cautious and trustworthy.

Early the next morning, just after dawn, Takeda woke up and mounted his horse and continued on his way. Still like yesterday, he was afraid of missing the mark left by his companion, so he didn't ride particularly fast, running and stopping all the way, and he couldn't help but be anxious in his heart, wondering if he was going the wrong way, but after a moment he denied this idea, because the strip of cloth he had seen along the way was left by his companion, and there would be no mistake.

After a few more miles, a "black mountain" appeared in Takeda's field of vision, and compared to the other peaks, this mountain was so conspicuous that it was as if the vegetation on the mountain was all black.

He hurriedly rode over, then stopped at the foot of the mountain, and after dismounting, he squatted on the ground and grabbed a handful of soil at the foot of the mountain, and his face could not help but change. Half of the soil is black, which is supposed to be dark after the ground has been baked by fire, and the other half is black ash from the burning of trees.

Takeda swallowed his spit, looked up at the mountain, and had an incredible guess in his heart, which immediately scared himself.

This "Black Mountain" can't be like this after the entire mountain has been burned down, right?

In order to verify his guess, he ignored his horse and quickly ran towards the mountain, and when he ran to the mountainside, he suddenly tripped and fell directly to the ground, splashing a layer of black ash.

He spit out the black ash in his mouth, looked at his feet, and saw a black thing fall to the ground, he cursed in his heart for being unlucky, and wanted to get up, but his heart suddenly moved, and he looked carefully at the black thing.

Afraid! Takeda was terrified, because the black thing looked like a human head on one side, and the other side was long and thin as if two legs were intertwined.

He didn't think about it at first, so he didn't feel anything yet, but as he realized that the black thing might be human, he looked more and more like it. So he crawled back in fear, but before he had climbed five steps away, he felt that his hand had touched a "thing", and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at it, only that this "thing" was also a charred person, but this person looked more like a person in shape.

Takeda stood up in a panic, and then ran to the top of the mountain like crazy, and along the way he saw a lot of corpses, some of which had been burned to the point of inhuman appearance, and some of which were okay, not burned by the fire, but with wide eyes, a layer of black ash on his face, and a painful expression, looking like a ghost who had climbed up from hell.

Finally, he climbed to the top of the mountain and saw a large black mass of "stuff", which was the scene of a dozen people holding each other before they died, and then all of them were burned to death. Because these people were holding each other, their backs were scorched, and their faces were still relatively well preserved, but their whole bodies looked as if they had shrunk in a circle, and their heads were black, which looked very weird.

Takeda looked at it and threw up, lying on the ground and vomiting so hard that he finally vomited bile.

This is not the world!

He got up from the ground, and then ran down the hill like crazy, and if he tripped and fell, he got up again, and without looking back, he continued to run down the hill. Finally, he rolled from the foot of the mountain onto the road, then quickly got up, mounted his horse, and galloped towards Kono Castle.

He really doesn't want to stay in this hell for a moment!

Although he didn't find two of his companions, he knew that his two companions must have been killed.

Get back!

Tell the general everything here!

Takeda's body couldn't help but tremble, and there was only this one sentence left in his heart, and the whip hit the horse hard, and the horse ran fast in pain.

After a long journey, at noon, he was only five miles away from Kono. He was physically and mentally exhausted, and he was staggering on his horse, as if he was going to fall down at any moment.

Suddenly, a triphorse suddenly appeared in front of the road, and it was too late for Takeda to stop the horse, so he decisively jumped off the horse, fell into the jungle on the side of the road, and then ran into the mountains and forests without thinking about it, regardless of the physical pain.

It's just that in front of him, several big men with knives in their hands slowly surround him.

Takeda died, and before he died, he was a little glad in his heart, fortunately he was not burned to death, otherwise it would be really ugly......

"Qianhu, this person should be a spy outside Benshan City!"

Liu Zhu let out a faint "um" and said, "Clean up this place, and then rush to the outside of Kono City to meet the adults!" ”

"Yes!" I want to talk about "Da Ming Qingshi" with more like-minded people; Talk about life and find a confidant~
