Michiko Kato wanted to escape, but when she saw that her sister was entangled by Ye Ruliu, she raised her hand, and a ninja shuriken shot quickly into Ye Ruliu's heart.

In the fierce battle, Mieko Kato discovered her sister's action of firing a hidden weapon. She wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

Seeing that the Bafang shuriken stained with poison was rapidly spinning and shooting towards the back of Ye Ruliu, who was fighting head-on with him, Mieko Kato was in a hurry, risking being stabbed by Ye Ruliu's weapon, threw away the ninja knife, pounced on Ye Ruliu's chest, and slammed Ye Ruliu aside with both hands.

The eight-sided shuriken flew over Ye Ruliu's shoulder.

Mieko Kato didn't have time to dodge, and the eight-sided shuriken that Michiko Kato shot at Ye Ruliu stabbed deeply into the back of Mieko Kato's chest.

Mieko Kato let go of the leaf willow and staggered to the soft woodland.

"Keiko!" Michiko Kato didn't expect her sister to mistakenly poison the sword for saving Ye Ruliu, and when she saw her sister falling to the ground and struggling, she screamed and rushed forward to try to save her sister. Helplessly, at this time, a large number of North Korean naval soldiers had rushed to the front. Although Michiko Kato fought hard, it was always difficult to get close to the injured Mieko Kato.

Michiko Kato found out that her sister had been helped by Ye Ruliu to sit down under a tree.

Seeing that it is difficult to succeed in rescuing his sister, and if he doesn't think about getting out, I'm afraid that he will also become a dead ghost under the other party's knife. Michiko Kato had no choice but to protect herself, only to see her casually throw out a gunpowder pill, the pill made a muffled sound in the air, and a cloud of smoke instantly hid Michiko Kato.

At the moment when the North Korean soldiers around him couldn't see the target clearly, Michiko Kato clicked on the ground with both feet, flew into the air and jumped onto the tall black pine tree behind her, and then used her wood escape technique to easily escape from the black pine forest and chase in the direction of Yoshino's escape.

In the black pine forest, Mieko Kato has passed out.

Ye Ruliu knew that Mieko Kato had an antidote on her body, so she quickly found the antidote from Mieko Kato's body and motioned for Shi Lang and the others to step aside. Then, untie Mieko's shirt, pull out the ninja shuriken that was stuck diagonally in Keiko's back, and apply the liquid to the wound.

After a while, the bleeding from Keiko's wound stopped. Ye Ruliu tore off the hem of her blouse and bandaged Keiko's wounds.

Mieko Kato still hadn't woken up, Ye Ruliu gently sorted out Keiko's clothes, and held Mieko Kato in her arms with heartache.

Shi Lang walked over, bent down and squatted in front of the two, anxiously looking at Mieko Kato, whose breath was weakening.

The female ninja in front of her saved her life twice, and this time she sacrificed herself to save Ye Ruliu. Looking at the unconscious Mieko Kato, Shi Lang could only pray silently in the depths of his heart, hoping that death would not take away Mieko Kato's young life.

Shi Tianji and Li Ruzhu knew a little about the emotional entanglement between Shi Lang and the two women in front of them, so they stood on the woodland not far away and did not come forward.

North Korean sailors have chased out of the woodland and are searching for the fleeing Assassins.

Fortunately, Mieko Kato finally woke up, she opened her eyes weakly, and found herself lying in Ye Ruliu's arms, with Shi Lang standing in front of her.

"Looks like I'm your captive this time." A wry smile appeared on the corner of Kato's mouth.

"Keiko, don't speak. You are very weak now. Ye Ruliu reached out and held Kato Mieko's hand.

"Sister Liu, I respect you. It is a great honor for me to have the opportunity to compete with you in a dignified manner. I said, I'm going to have a fair fight with you. My sister hurts people with secret arrows, which I despise. If you are really killed by the dark arrow, I will blame myself for the rest of my life......" Mieko Kato said as she looked at Ye Ruliu serenely.

"But you block the sword for me, if you ...... because of it I'm also upset! Hearing Mieko Kato's words, two lines of hot tears instantly welled up from Ye Ruliu's eyes.

Mieko Kato is willing to lose her life, and she is not far from losing her bright and upright personality. At this time, in Ye Ruliu's heart, in addition to admiration, there was also a sense of sympathy.

"It's nothing, people face death. Sister Ruliu, you don't have to be too sad for me. To be honest, Keiko has been deeply sinful in this life...... Fortunately, I met you and Brother Shi Lang in this North Korea. It was your presence that transformed me from a devil back to a human being, and taught me how to love others.

"Sister Ruliu, I have always remembered what you said clearly - you can die for the person you like, and die without regrets! I know that you and Brother Shi Lang really love each other, and if you are gone, he will be very miserable. He will only be happy if you live well. Mieko Kato looked at Ye Ruliu and Shi Lang and said.

"Keiko, you have to hold on, we will take you to the military camp for treatment!" Shi Lang leaned down and tried to pick up Mieko Kato.

"No need, Brother Shi Lang. Let me rest here for a moment. Mieko Kato weakly raised her hand and rejected Shi Lang.

"Keiko, just now I have applied the antidote you brought with you to your wounds, and I believe you will be fine." Ye Ruliu said to Mieko Kato.

"Thank you, Sister Ruliu! I'm feeling much better now. Don't worry, this antidote is very good. To be honest, I can block this sword for Sister Ru Liu, although I have suffered some flesh and skin, I feel open in my heart, this can be regarded as my self-redemption for my past sins.

"I believe that my actions today can make my soul sublimated. I can therefore dare to proudly say in front of you, Sister Ruliu, that I risked my life to preserve the desire and expectation of happiness for the people I love, and I have no regrets in death for the people I like! Mieko Kato's face was calm, and her eyes shone brightly.

"Keiko, don't talk so much about it. Come, I'll carry you to the barracks, and heal your injuries first. With the help of Ye Ruliu, Shi Lang carried Mieko Kato on his back and walked out of the woods.

"Then thank you, Brother Shi Lang!" Mieko Kato said gratefully as she leaned on Shi Lang's back.

It is happiness to lie on the back of your beloved. Mieko Kato sniffed the charming male smell emanating from Shi Lang's body, and her heart was full of infinite reverie, but at the same time, deep down, she also knew the situation she was about to face. For a ninja who assassinated his own supreme commander, the North Korean naval army would not let him go.

After carrying Mieko Kato back to the barracks, Shi Lang immediately reported everything that happened in the woods to Luo Shiyin, and asked the team to take care of Mieko Kato. Shi Lang feared that if Mieko Kato was handed over to the North Korean navy, her life could be endangered. In any case, Shi Lang did not want this to happen.

Luo Shiyin listened to Shi Lang's report and didn't speak for a long time.

Shi Lang's mood is completely understandable, but after all, Mieko Kato is a ninja of the Japanese Kingdom who came to assassinate Yi Sunsin, and he really can't think of any reason to ask the North Korean side to take care of Mieko Kato.

Taking a step back, even if the North Korean side agrees to let the team take care of Mieko Kato, what should be done with her when her injuries improve? If they kill her, Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu can't talk about it here; If she is released, it will be difficult for the North Korean navy to explain it. Luo Shiyin was difficult to decide for a while. fantasy

"Brother Shi Lang, don't embarrass you and everyone, it's better to hand me over to the North Korean navy." Mieko Kato, who was lying on Shi Lang's back, took the initiative to say.

"My lord, can't you hand Keiko over to the North Korean navy!" Ye Ruliu listened to Keiko's words and said eagerly.

"How's his injury?" Luo Shiyin waved his hand at Ye Ruliu, signaling her not to worry about it first, and then asked Shi Lang.

“……”

"There won't be a big problem, just take a break and you'll be fine." The shrewd Mieko Kato instantly found the mystery in Luo Shiyin's expression and words, and before Shi Lang could speak, she preemptively spoke.

"That's good. Shi Lang, Miss Ye, if you listen to me, you should hand her over to the custody of the North Korean navy. Luo Shiyin said to Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu.

"Your Excellency...... This ......" Shi Lang couldn't figure out why the commander made such a decision for a while, he thought that Luo Shiyin would definitely agree to his request and leave Keiko in the care of the team.

Ye Ruliu also looked at Luo Shiyin in puzzlement, and couldn't figure out what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd for a while.

"Let's do it." Luo Shiyin said lightly.

Shi Lang had to reluctantly hand over Mieko Kato to the North Korean navy not far away.

That night, Yi Sunsin hosted a banquet to entertain the members of the detachment who had come from afar and rewarded the three armies.

After the dinner, with Luo Shiyin's consent, Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu went to visit Mieko Kato, who was imprisoned in the barracks.

"Oh no, the Japanese ninja killed two guards and escaped!" Just as Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu were about to arrive at the small wooden house where Mieko Kato was being held, they suddenly heard the exclamations of the North Korean soldiers. I saw a large number of North Korean naval soldiers rushing to the detention place of Mieko Kato.

Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu ran over quickly and saw the bodies of two North Korean naval soldiers lying on the cold stone slab. In the cabin, Mieko Kato was long gone, only the hemp rope used to bind Mieko Kato was scattered messily on the ground.

Looking at the soldiers of the North Korean Navy who were chasing after Mieko Kato in a panic, Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu's hearts passed a trace of happiness at the same time. With these naval soldiers in front of him, it would be more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack to search for a ninja who was good at escaping in the dark night. Keiko has finally managed to escape!

Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu came to the beach, letting the sea breeze blow their mood that had been difficult to calm down for several days.

The cold sea breeze blows from the dark sea; The waves below the cliff crashed against the rocks on the shore.

Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu couldn't feel the cold of winter at this time, and the two sat on a rock, quietly looking at the mysterious sea in the dark night.

"Brother Shi Lang, do you understand why the commander of the day insisted on handing over Keiko to the Korean navy?"

"I really didn't turn the corner at the time, and I can't figure out why the lord handed Keiko over, but just now I saw Keiko successfully escape, and I seem to understand the good intentions of the commander."

"Yes. Although we both wanted Keiko to stay and be taken care of by us, to put it mildly, she was a hot potato for the team. I don't know if you have noticed that after the adult asked Keiko's injury was okay, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and it was at that moment that the adult made a decision to hand Keiko over to the care of the North Korean navy.

"The clever Keiko naturally keenly saw this instantaneous change on the face of the commander and understood the mystery, so she took the initiative to ask to hand herself over to the Korean naval army."

"Yes, at first, the Lord didn't agree to my request, and he was weighing the pros and cons of all aspects. Keiko's words made him find a solution to the problem in an instant. The reason why he decided to hand over Keiko to the North Korean Navy was because he knew in his heart that it would be almost easy for Keiko, who was not seriously injured, to escape from the custody of the North Korean Navy Army. Now that I think about it, in dealing with Keiko's problem, this choice of the commander is undoubtedly the best choice. ”

"Actually, the current Keiko may not be a dangerous enemy for the team, maybe we can develop her in the future and use her for my use." Ye Ruliu is obviously full of affection and friendship for Keiko in her heart.

"So, I just said that the commander made the best choice in dealing with Keiko's problem. His decision not only saved Keiko's life, but also made it reasonable for all parties. ”

"The wisdom of the adults is far above you and me. Well, let's not talk about that. Brother Shi Lang, I've been thinking about how good it would be if there wasn't this war, so that Keiko and I could be good friends who talk about everything. ”

"Yes, this is the evil of war, making people who should be friends become hostile sides."

"Brother Shi Lang, I want you to promise me one thing. Regardless of the outcome of this war, you have to live well. Ye Ruliu said, stretched out her hands, grabbed Shi Lang's arms tightly, and rested her head on Shi Lang's shoulder.

"Ru Liu, we all have to live well. Remember the oath I once made to you? The day this war ends is the beginning of our happy life. Shi Lang affectionately reached out and put his arm around Ye Ruliu's shoulder.

The two didn't speak again, but just sat in place with each other, quietly listening to the various sounds of the sea at night, yearning for a better life in the future......

Three days later, several other members of the team, Hua Xianzu, Du Heng, Clairvoyant, and Shunfeng Er, also rushed over from the direction of Heizhu Island.

The members of the team were very happy to see each other.

Hua Xianzu made a detailed report to Luo Shiyin on the intelligence of the Japanese naval forces on the southeast coast of Korea, which had already been reconnoitred.

Luo Shiyin immediately wrote down the information provided by Hua Ancestor into a fold, and ordered Ancestor Hua to send it to the hands of the leader of the Jinyi Wei Thousand Households in Wang Jingcheng City, so that the handle could be sent to the capital as quickly as possible and handed over to the Mingshenzong. After the task is completed, Hua Xianzu needs to return immediately and continue to stay with Du Heng, Clairvoyant, and Shunfeng Er to investigate the follow-up movements of the Japanese naval army.

After the relevant matters were dealt with, Luo Shiyin decided to leave immediately and return to Uiju, where the king of Joseon was located. Because from the time estimate, the Ming reinforcements should soon enter the court. He must strive to rush to Yiju before the Ming army enters the dynasty and be ready to respond.

Yi Sunsin specially arranged for a speedboat and 30 sailors to escort the detachment back from the waterway.

On a snowflake-soaked day, while Du Heng, Clairvoyant, Shunfeng'er, Yi Sunsin and his generals waved goodbye, the fast boat carrying Luo Shiyin, Shi Lang, Ye Ruliu, Shi Tianji, Xie Yuan, Li Ruzhu and 30 Korean naval soldiers slowly left the dock and headed for Uiju.
