"Quack, quack, quack"

As the largest snake vulture let out three strange screams, a dozen snake vultures, like well-trained warriors, instantly flapped their wings and spread out, swooping down on their targets on the ground from different directions at the same time.

In the face of the scattered snake vultures, the lethality of the ninja shuriken was suddenly greatly reduced, coupled with the cover of the bamboo forest, it was difficult for the ninjas to shoot down all the snake vultures in the air, and some of the snake vultures still dodged the howling ninja shuriken, rushed to the ninjas and samurai in the bamboo forest, and fought with them.

In the end, at the last moment of the vulture battle, the huge snake vulture, under the cover of several other snake vultures, rushed to the front of the sixth prince, Shun and Jun, and grabbed Shun and Jun by the throat with its sharp claws.

At this time, the sixth prince Shun and Jun were already paralyzed on the ground in fright, looking at the snake vulture that rushed towards him frantically, his body trembling and shrinking into a ball.

At this critical moment, a stone flew from the bamboo forest and accurately hit the left eye of the snake vulture that was about to scratch Shunhejun. The snake vulture, which had been shot in the left eye, screamed in pain and landed on the ground, struggling a few times before remaining still.

The head vulture was killed, and the few remaining snake vultures had no intention of fighting, avoiding the blades of the ninjas and samurai, flapping their wings and preparing to flee.

Mieko Kato leaped into shape, and several ninja shurikens came out of her hands, killing several snake vultures that had fled into the air one by one.

The scene was a mess, and the small arena was littered with the corpses of samurai, ninjas, snake vultures, and poisonous snakes.

Mieko Kato briefly counted the number of people, and almost all of the 150 samurai of the Wa Kingdom were wiped out, leaving only six samurai who personally guarded the two princes. The ninja killed and wounded several people.

"Let the two princes get in the car and protect them. Be vigilant against enemies in the bamboo forest. Keep moving. "Mieko Kato knew very well that her team was surrounded by an enemy who had not yet shown her face, so she had to quickly break out of the encirclement and rush forward out of the bamboo forest.

But as soon as Mieko Kato's words fell, a shout of killing could be heard all around, and then more than 30 assassins wearing armor and masks came from the surrounding bamboo forest.

"Surround the prince in the middle and prepare for battle!" Mieko Kato shouted, and led the ninjas and samurai on the scene to surround the two Korean princes in the middle, ready to meet the enemy.

The masked Assassins, led by a tall Assassin armed with two meridian mandarin ducks, rushed to the Japanese and engaged them in hand-to-hand combat.

This group of assassins is obviously not a reckless man, judging from their tactical play, it is obvious that they have received formal combat training, which is reflected in their strong ability to coordinate operations. Especially the assassin who was holding a pair of meridian mandarin ducks, he was always able to find the opponent's flaws in time in the fierce battle, and then find a fighter to destroy the enemy in front of him.

The more than 20 ninjas led by Mieko Kato are also one in a hundred melee masters, and they also have a strong ability to fight together. The two sides come and go, and they are inseparable for a while.

Seeing that it was difficult to kill the two princes for a moment, the leader of the assassins let out a whistle.

At the sound of the whistle, all the Assassins immediately jumped out of the battle and retreated.

Mieko Kato led her subordinates to surround the two princes, and did not dare to kill rashly.

After the assassins all retreated five meters away, the leader of the assassins raised a pair of meridian mandarin ducks in his hand, and with two "clicks", cut off the two thick bamboos beside him. The thick bamboo slammed into the circular formation formed by the ninjas. The other Assassins did the same, cutting down thick bamboos and smashing them into the ninja ranks.

The originally neat ninja formation was suddenly smashed to pieces.

Seeing that the opponent's formation was in disarray, the Assassin Gate shouted and stepped on the thick bamboo that had fallen to the ground, and rushed into the ninja formation, trying to assassinate the two princes.

The two princes were already frightened. Fortunately, with the escort of the six personal warriors, the two princes were always safe and sound.

The Japanese ninja quickly adjusted the formation, protecting the two princes, fighting and retreating, and after rushing out of the field that was messed up by thick bamboo, he once again closed the formation and protected the two princes and rushed forward.

The Assassin Gate pursued closely, and under the leadership of the Assassin leader, they blocked the ninja's retreat time and time again. It seems that they are well aware that once the ninjas protect the two princes and rush out of this bamboo forest, they will lose the natural barrier of the bamboo forest, and it is very easy to expose their identities if they are exposed to assassination in broad daylight.

In this way, in this hidden bamboo forest, assassins and ninjas are inseparable. Unconsciously, the two sides have been fighting for more than half an hour, and it is still difficult to tell the winner.

Mieko Kato doesn't want to entangle with the other party, she knows very well: in the case of not knowing the details of the other party, if you stay in this bamboo forest for a little longer, it will be more dangerous. Mieko Kato saw that the Assassin with the Meridian Mandarin Duck was the leader of the other side, and she fought while looking for a fighter to try to deal a fatal blow to the leading Assassin.

Mieko Kato deliberately distanced herself from the other Assassins, but her eyes never left the leader of the Assassins a few meters away. Eventually, the two ninjas saw Mieko Kato's intentions and rushed to the Assassin leader and fought with him.

Seeing that the Assassin Leader was entangled by two of her men, Mieko Kato approached the Assassin Leader as she fought. Eventually, the two ninjas succeeded in luring the Assassin leader into a clearing with his back to Mieko Kato.

Seeing that the time had come, Mieko Kato quickly pulled out a club-shaped shuriken from her waist and shot it hard at the head of the assassin with her back to her.

This club-shaped shuriken is a hidden weapon that is difficult for ordinary ninjas to master, and only a few high-level ninjas can master its skills. This ninja shuriken is so powerful that it can shoot through any part of a person's body.

The club-shaped shuriken shot by Mieko Kato was like a high-speed flying bullet, instantly hitting the back of the assassin's head. With a crisp sound of "boring", the powerful club-shaped shuriken instantly pierced through the head of the assassin's head, knocking the metal mask he was wearing on his face into the air.

The Assassin leader threw away his weapon, and his tall body fell to the ground with a thud.

Seeing that the leader was killed, the combat effectiveness of the assassins at the scene suddenly decreased sharply.

Mieko Kato led her men in a struggle, and after paying the price of six ninja killed and wounded, one Assassin was captured alive, and the rest were killed.

The two ninjas twisted the captured assassin alive in front of Mieko Kato.

Mieko Kato stepped forward and ripped the mask off the other person's face.

"Yulin." At the moment when Mieko Kato removed the mask on the Assassin's face, Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu, who had been lying in ambush in the bamboo forest, immediately recognized the captured Assassin as Yulin, whom they had seen in the Netherworld that night.

Since visiting the Netherworld at night that night, Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu have been secretly monitoring and tracking all the actions of the people in the Netherworld. Seeing that the personnel of the Netherworld Mansion came to this bamboo forest in the north of the city several times to check the terrain, Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu concluded that the Netherworld Mansion was going to do something in this bamboo forest.

Early this morning, Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu secretly came to this bamboo forest to hide. After a while, they saw the personnel of the Netherworld sneaking into the bamboo forest, ready to assassinate. When Mieko Kato led the team to the bamboo forest, Shi Lang threw the sharpened bamboo tube at Mieko Kato, reminding her that she was in the bamboo forest

There is danger.

Although the two sides were hostile to each other, during the special period of peace negotiations between the two sides, saving the two princes from harm was still the common goal pursued by Shi Lang, Ye Ruliu and Mieko Kato.

Throughout the assassination operation, Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu kept a close eye on the safety of the two princes. The stone that hit the snake vulture that attacked Shunhe-kun was sent by Shi Lang. Although Shi Lang had a hidden arrow with him, in order to avoid being exposed, he still killed the snake vulture with a stone.

Mieko Kato couldn't help but say, raised her hand to give Yulin two loud slaps, and then asked fiercely, "Who are you?" Why the stab? ”

Blood immediately flowed from the corner of Yulin's mouth who was beaten, and he glared at Mieko Kato fiercely without saying a word.

"If you don't, I'll gouge out your eyes." Mieko Kato said.

"Phew!" Yulin was not afraid, and spit out a mouthful of bloody thick phlegm towards Mieko Kato.

Mieko Kato dodged and ordered angrily: "Take him and go!" ”

Yulin was tied up by the Japanese people and walked forward under pressure. But he was escorted five or six meters away, and from the bamboo forest in front of him, a Bafang shuriken shot quickly, hitting his throat. Yulin suddenly spurted blood from his neck and fell to the ground.

"Be on guard!" Seeing that Yulin was killed by a hidden weapon, Mieko Kato ordered loudly.

Several ninjas immediately rushed to the fallen Yulin with knives and set up a cordon.

Mieko Kato walked over to Yulin, who had fallen to the ground, and pulled out the Bafang shuriken that had pierced Yulin's throat deeply, "Ninja? Mieko Kato pinched the bloody Bafang shuriken in her hand, and suddenly had doubts in her heart.

"Do you want reinforcements?" A samurai asked Mieko Kato.

Mieko Kato wiped the Bafang shuriken clean, put it in her pocket, and said, "No, what we need to do at the moment is to quickly rush out of this bamboo forest that hides murderous intentions." Out of the bamboo forest, the valley ahead was open, which was not conducive to the Assassins' covert operations. As long as you get out of the valley, you will go to the Luxi River. There was a ship of our navy to meet us. Everyone stay vigilant and keep going. ”

Hearing Mieko Kato's order, the Japanese people at the scene immediately gathered their formation, escorted the two Korean princes, and rushed forward.

After the Japanese people at the scene walked away, Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu walked out from behind a boulder that had been hidden in it. At this time, the two were dressed in North Korean civilian clothes, completely dressed as businessmen. After using the Jinyi Wei disguise technique, the two people have been unrecognizable, and they have completely become the appearance of two ugly-looking middle-aged couples.

Shi Lang walked over to the corpse of the assassin leader who had been shot, squatted down to take a look, and said, "Sure enough, it's him, General Wei Chi Jinggong." ”

"How did you identify him?" Ye Ruliu squatted beside Shi Lang and asked.

"This General Wei Chi has a nickname: 'One-Eared General'. His right ear was cut off during a battle, hence the nickname. In addition, in our Ming army, the border generals who use the Meridian Mandarin Duck Yue, a unique weapon of the Bagua Sect, have no one else except this General Wei Chi. Based on these two points, there is no doubt that the Assassin leader in front of him must be his person. ”

"Judging from that Bafang shuriken, it should be a Japanese who stabbed Yulin to death."

"Yes. It seems that there is no unity within the Japanese people. This is good news for me. ”

"What do we do next?"

"Follow them until the two princes are safely delivered into the hands of the Koreans."

"Good. Then let's hurry up. ”

After Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu finished speaking, they stood up and chased forward.
