Chapter 8 Diverting the Tiger from the Mountain and the Beauty Scheme
"What? Dog demon? Messy ...... I don't believe in any demons! But...... It's not a good thing for someone to take the opportunity to sneak into Xiangguo Temple...... Damn, I'm really understaffed wow! ”
The ninja leader, who was called "Big Brother Thirteen-Eyed Tanuki" by his subordinates, bit his lip and looked at the herald with a puzzled expression, his expression very hesitant and painful.
He is the person who survived by luck after the Oda family's "Feasting" organization was destroyed by Asai, and lost contact with the upline and could not return to Owari and Mino.
After a bloody and tearful experience, he finally came to Kyoto, where he joined Shibata and Kinoshita and found a new home.
When it comes to saving the old master and countering the princess, their gang of sub-ninjas are the most excited and enthusiastic.
The reason is very simple, because Oda Dan attaches great importance to intelligence work, and the investment power given to the "second front" is very huge, which is incomparable to anyone else.
As a result, the "Thirteen-Eyes Tanuki", who had not been able to see people, was transformed into the "Twilight Thirteen Soldiers", disguised as Kinoshita Hideyoshi's personal guard soldiers, and was further recommended to serve as the head of the Ashigaru Group of the Commission, and appeared in Kyoto with a swagger.
Not only did he get acquainted with his neighbors, including townspeople, merchants, and monks, but he also quietly recruited two or three close disciples.
Then, it's time for the moment to make a difference.
As a veteran of a hundred battles, "Big Brother Thirteen" certainly understands that now is not the time to complain that "it was launched too early" or to excuse it and say that "the preparation is not enough".
But the problem of manpower shortage exists objectively, and it is useless if you don't complain, don't shirk, and don't shirk. No matter how outstanding the quality of will is, it cannot be conjured out of thin air.
However, part of the manpower problem is due to its own reasons......
"Sanmu shouldn't be stared at in front, and that target may not really be that person, even if it is, it may not necessarily be aimed at us today......"
Hearing about the so-called "dog demon", the thirteen-eyed raccoon felt regretful.
Perhaps, it was a big mistake to let the triomed group go it alone.
The three-eyed bird is the existence of the left and right hands of the thirteen-eyed raccoon, and now it is called "Shiratori Ren Saburo", and his identity is the entourage of Akechi Mitsuhide, and today he also mixed into Xiangguo Temple together.
Originally, they were going to wait for the friendly forces to arrive and then carry out the mission together.
Unexpectedly, when I stepped on the spot in the early morning, I seemed to find a familiar figure.
It seems that he has dealt with him before, but now he has a subtle position, and he plays for the Tie family, Hattori Hideyasu.
This person's own talent and leadership are not outstanding, but the great god behind him is really extraordinary, and everyone understands that the tide rises and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven.
So now Hattori Hideyasu has twenty or thirty scattered masters from Iga and Koga side men to play.
Seeing the traces of this man, the thirteen-eyed civet and his subordinates were quite nervous, and they didn't have time to report to Shibata, Kinoshita, and Akechi (in fact, there is no particularly clear command relationship now), so they immediately asked the three-eyed bird to bring a team to deal with it.
I don't want to put it under control, at least I hope to be on guard, so that I don't react to it when someone attacks me in the face!
So Shiratori Ren Saburo, that is, the three-eyed bird, set off alone.
The Thirteen Tanuki Guards, the Thirteen Guards of Twilight, took the remaining two dozen men to continue the original plan.
However, after a while, I received another notice, saying that there was "a dog demon raging and the situation was chaotic, and there were 100 people taking advantage of the chaos to sneak into the temple" at the southeast side gate of Xiangguo Temple.
In the eyes of an experienced person like the Thirteen-Eyed Tanuki, this matter is 100% caused by enemy forces.
It is normal to assume that when the enemy infiltrates the temple, they will further disturb the monks who are not aware of the problem, or who have been ordered to stay in the house, and completely muddy the waters.
The thirteen-eyed raccoon thought it had to be dealt with personally.
But...... Thirty paces away, there was a room where the princess and the monks discussed things.
I haven't rushed in yet, because the other parties are not ready, and I am worried that I will accidentally let Ashikaga Yoshiaki run away, or I will kill him if I don't pay attention to him, both of which are unacceptable.
Let's just send someone to ambush here, isolate the inside and outside, and act together according to the signal.
So the problem for the thirteen-eyed raccoon is ...... If you are gone, who will be left here to take over?
Originally, it was called "Thirteen Eyes Tanuki" because there were thirteen brothers, all of whom could be on their own. Later, a full ten were lost in the chaos, and now in addition to himself and the three-eyed bird, there is only one left......
"Five-eyed spider, take your people to stay here, and send a letter in time if you have any questions! Don't forget what time it is, and take care of the previous problems! ”
The thirteen-eyed raccoon hurried to the southeast with an iron face.
"Oh......"
The one left behind is a lazy man who used to be called a five-eyed spider and is now known as Maori Kogoro. His skills had always been the best of the thirteen brothers, but there had been cases in the past where he had slept because he was lustful.
I hope I won't repeat my previous mistakes today......
……
After the thirteen-eyed raccoon was gone, the five-eyed spider and several of his subordinates instantly relaxed.
Some stretched out on the trees, others rolled over behind the rocks.
Hiding and vigilance have been lax a lot.
After all, upward and downward effects are the most normal laws in the world.
It is also common for the best people to have the most attitudes and problems.
It's good not to throw away your job, it's good.
The five-eyed spider stood bored for a while, still not waiting for the next order, but suddenly his eyes lit up, and he saw a man who was panting and trying to run, but was tired and couldn't even step away from his legs.
It was a woman.
A woman with a messy dress, her hair in a loose bun, sweating, and a bloodless face.
But it can't hide the graceful figure and white flawless face.
Slim and elegant, weak and boneless, red lips and bright teeth, double pupils cut water, pear blossoms with rain, I see pity.
He was uncombed and did not wear a turban, his long hair was on his back, he was barefoot and only wore an earthy yellow cloth robe, his shoes seemed to have run away, the belt on his chest was already tied, and the two doors leading to the heavenly kingdom of happiness were faintly leaking a little gap.
For Maori Kogoro, that is, the five-eyed spider, the strange woman in front of him is not necessarily the most beautiful woman he has ever seen in his life, but he must be the most seductive woman he has ever seen in his life.
If he hadn't been on a mission, he would have jumped up long ago.
Even if there was a task, he boldly thought that if it was sure to be safe, it would not affect the task if it was safe, and it would be a big deal to deal with the woman quietly afterwards - although it might be a little reluctant at that time.
"Who's coming...... Who's going to ...... Save...... Save me! Yes...... Dog Demon ...... The dog demon is in the ...... ...... in the back"
The woman ran and fell to the ground, and the cry of weakness and trembling sounded like the cry of the oriole and the cuckoo.
"It's a monk in the temple, right? This kind of high-end goods look like they are raised in the deep boudoir and don't need to do things, which kind of private disciple should be a great monk, right? The five-eyed spider made a judgment, and then suddenly became jealous: "Hmph, the bald donkey is really good at playing!" I was lucky to run into it today...... The monk can touch it, but I can't touch it? ”
Thinking of this, his body and soul were on fire, and he quickly signaled his subordinates to be restless, and patiently observed left and right, and felt that there was probably no problem, so with a little force, he jumped out of the hiding tree very sensitively, and rushed forward in three steps and two steps, grabbed the woman's little hand, and said with a hippie smile: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" In Shimomori Kogoro, he once learned Master Abe's method of retreat, and he is best at dealing with demons and monsters...... What do you call it? ”
The woman was suddenly pinched by someone's hand, startled, and when she heard this, she just froze and didn't speak, and when she reacted for a long time, she found that she had been held in the arms of a strange man.
She blushed all of a sudden, and quickly tried to stand up on her own, but her feet were weak and trembling.
At the same time, she wanted to withdraw her hand, but somehow, she couldn't use her strength, but it seemed to be flirting with the man in front of her.
This attitude of wanting to refuse and welcome made the man suddenly horny.
The five-eyed spider thought in his heart, it was really the private pet made by the great monk in the name of accepting apprentices! Looking at the appearance of this merry habitual offender, he must have been trained and matured.
"Concubine...... The concubine is called Asahina Shijiu ......"
The delicate sound makes people's ears and hearts soft and clear, and they are intoxicated.
At this time, several subordinates of the five-eyed spider couldn't help but leave their duties without permission, and came over to watch with salivation, expecting to get a little leftovers or something.
"Real duret, good name, good name! People are as wonderful as their name hahaha! Wait, it seems like you've heard ...... somewhere."
Suddenly, the sound of breaking the sky was loud, and several shuriken shot from all directions.
The delicate woman's sleeve suddenly slipped out of two daggers that shone with cold light.
