Chapter 490: Ren Xia

As soon as he rushed to the second floor, Morita Sho was taken aback. In the corridor on the second floor, the corpses of dozens of Hatakeyama family guards were densely poured, and more than a dozen Miyoshi family ninjas stood beside them. And around the corner at the end of the corridor, there was still the sound of a fierce fight.

"Leave these people alone! Rush inside! The lord should be inside! Morita Sho had already been killed, and rushed towards the corridor with a few brothers around him. Those ninjas of the Miyoshi family were not willing to let them go, so they immediately came to intercept them. However, the martial arts of ninjas are not as good as those of samurai, not to mention that the samurai are undoubtedly entangled with them, just trying to rush over. Morita Evil Xiang relied on his excellent martial arts skills to lead his brothers to fight his way out, and after losing only one person, he rushed to the corner of the corridor.

The scene in front of him suddenly froze in placeβ€”I saw that at the other corner of the corridor, dozens of Miyoshi ninjas were besieging the eight Hatakeyama guards. The eight guards were all covered in blood, and their faces were full of despair and unwillingness. Behind them was Hatakeyama Takamasa, whose left arm was bleeding and the whole person was leaning weakly against the wall, seemingly seriously injured.

"Lord!" Seeing that Hatakeyama Takamasa was in danger, Morita Sho suddenly lost his mind and rushed towards this side with his men like crazy. This time, however, they weren't so lucky. Dozens of Miyoshi ninjas immediately stopped the siege, and instead threw a large number of kunai and shuriken towards them, even if Morita Evil Sho blocked left and right, he was hit several times in a row. Of the brothers who rushed over with him, only two rushed to Hatakeyama Takamasa's side.

"Evil Xiang!" Hatakeyama Takamasa saw Morita Sho rushing over with a bruise, but he didn't say a word of encouragement to this loyal subordinate, but immediately asked, "Why are you here?" What about Yuqiu Gongzi? ”

"Don't talk about this, the lord will lead people to rush out with the lord!" Morita Sho glanced at the wound on Takamasa Hatakeyama's arm, and it was estimated that it had injured a blood vessel, and the bleeding did not stop. If the bleeding can't be stopped immediately, I'm afraid there will be more bad luck.

"Talk back! I'll call you back! What about the boy of Yuqiu! However, the weakened Hatakeyama Takamasa reprimanded in a deep voice, and then coughed up several mouthfuls of blood because of the excessive force.

"Yuqiu Gongzi has already joined the crow's people, and there is no danger for the time being!" Morita replied in a loud voice.

"That's good." Hatakeyama Takamasa let out a sigh of relief, as if half of the strength in his body had left his body in an instant and leaned against the wall, "It's not a pity for me to die this old life." If the hostages left here by the Yuqiu Ministry are anything wrong, the Hatakeyama family will have no face to see the world! ”

The ninjas of the Miyoshi family are reacting at this moment and start a siege again. Morita Sho led ten subordinates to firmly protect Hatakeyama Takamasa in the corner of the wall, while resisting hard, "Let's find a chance to break through!" Send Your Highness out! Tokiwabi's people are coming soon! Just kill it! ”

"Still want to kill it?" The leading Miyoshi family snorted coldly, "Do it!" ”

The Miyoshi family gave an order, and many Miyoshi ninjas immediately killed them from both sides. Morita Evil Xiang and they were already scarred and fought hard for a long time, and they were not the opponents of the Miyoshi ninja at all. It didn't take long for four people to fall one after another, and their protective circle was getting narrower and narrower, and it seemed that they would not be able to protect Hatakeyama Takamasa. And the ninjas of the Miyoshi family also threw kunai and shuriken towards Hatakeyama Takamasa from time to time. Morita Vicious Xiang and they still have to be distracted to block these hidden weapons, which makes them even more stretched.

Morita Sho didn't pay attention, and as soon as his feet slipped, two knives immediately swung towards him. Two of his men hurriedly swung their swords to block in order to cover their leader, but were stabbed to death by the ninja in front of them.

There were only four guards left, and one of them had his right hand cut off. Morita Evil Xiang himself also has dozens of wounds on his body, large and small, and blood continues to flow out of his mouth, and he has persevered to the limit. Although they had also cut down nearly a dozen ninjas from the Miyoshi family in their battles just now, more ninjas continued to come from the first floor. Even the corridors on both sides are full of people, and it is estimated that the remaining subordinates in the hall on the first floor have been cleaned up.

Morita Sho glanced at the end of the corridor with some unwillingness - he tried to find an opportunity to lead the crowd to break through several times, but was blocked by the ninjas of the Miyoshi family. The end of the corridor is only a dozen feet away from here, but it is out of reach at the moment.

Is it destined to die here? Could it be that the history of the Hatakeyama family is about to end here? Why did the Miyoshi family suddenly come to assassinate Takamasa Hatakeyama? How did so many ninjas from the Miyoshi family get in?

Damn, I'm not reconciled!

However, just when Morita felt that the general trend was gone, a small figure suddenly appeared at the end of the corridor.

Morita Vicious's eyes widened suddenly, and the picture in front of him was actually a little trance for a moment. If he wasn't mistaken, yes, he wasn't wrong - it was the rain and the fall! How is he here!

"What people! Where did the little ones come from! The ninjas of the Miyoshi family also immediately noticed the rain and autumn that appeared behind them, and turned around and asked. Several ninjas immediately prepared to rush forward, but the boy who was in the way of the trouble.

"That's the rain and autumn! The eldest son of the Rain Autumn Division! A middle ninja standing behind recognized Yu Qiuyan, and hurriedly spoke: "It won't be wrong!" I saw him the last time I tracked him! ”

"Rain and autumn?" The ninjas were instantly stunned in place, and even the ninjas who were besieging Morita Sho and the others on the front line stopped and looked back in surprise. Everyone saw that the sleeve of the young man's right arm was empty, and the pattern of autumn leaves was also drawn on his clothes.

"That's right, I'm Yuqiu!" Yu Qiuyan tried to control his tone not to tremble, stared at the swords in the ninjas' hands in a daze, straightened his chest and said loudly, "The eldest son of Yuqiu Zhibu, Yuqiu Yan!" ”

"Why is Yu Qiuyan here?" Everyone, including the ninja of the Miyoshi family, Takamasa Hatakeyama, Morita Sho and others were taken aback at the moment, and they didn't understand why things were going the way they did.

"There is fraud!" Shangnin sensed the smell of conspiracy for the first time, and immediately ordered more than half of his subordinates: "Go to the first building to check!" Isn't it that the people of Yuqiu's family have arrived! ”

More than half of the Miyoshi ninjas immediately quickly retreated from the other side of the corridor and rushed downstairs. Not long after, a ninja quickly ran back and replied, "My lord, the first floor is empty!" But there seems to be unidentified ninja activity on the north gate of Honmaru! ”

"No one? Do you see clearly? Shangnin was stunned when he heard this.

"It's true!" The ninja who had returned to his life replied in a deep and affirmative voice.

"And what is this?" Shangnin once again cast his surprised gaze on Yu Qiuyan, this one-armed boy stood alone in front of dozens of ninjas of the Miyoshi family, it was like a sheep in the mouth of a tiger. "Is it true that it's Yu Qiudi?"

"You can't go wrong! In the following memory, you know it! The ninja who had just recognized Yu Qiuyu replied, "Besides, he's still one-armed!" You can't go wrong! ”

"Take him down at once! To live! Hearing this, Shangnin immediately shouted loudly, as if he was afraid that Yuqiu would run away if he was too late. He is a confidant of Miyoshi Yoshixian, and he knows the political struggle well, and he will not fail to understand how important the eldest son of the hostile forces is!

However, just as four or five Miyoshi ninjas rushed towards Yu Qiuyan, Yu Qiuyan suddenly pulled out a handful of ribs from his waist. The ninja who rushed to the front snorted disdainfully - a one-armed little hairy child, what kind of waves can he make with a handful of ribs? However, to his surprise, Yu Qiuyan did not point the blade of the rib cha at the ninja, but pointed the blade directly at his neck. This sudden situation caused the ninjas of the Miyoshi family to stop in an instant, and unknowingly glanced at Yu Qiuyan, and then at their upper ninja.

"Put your knives down!" Yu Qiuyan's voice was already trembling slightly at this moment, and the legs and stomachs of the two calves were also shaking. However, he still tried to maintain emotional stability, so that the left hand holding the ribs seemed calm and powerful, "Don't you want to catch it alive!" You put down your sword at once, let His Highness Hatakeyama and Lord Morita leave, and I'll catch you!" Otherwise, I'll kill myself right away!" ”

"What?" The ninjas of the Miyoshi family didn't keep up with Yu Qiu's brain circuits for a while, and they were stunned for a long time before they reacted - this was the first time they had seen someone threaten others with their lives as hostages.

"His Royal Highness Hatakeyama's life, and taking the Yuqiu family and son as a hostage, you can only choose one!" Yu Qiuyan shouted again, this time his voice was calmer, but his back was still full of sweat, even his clothes were soaked, and the hand holding the rib cha inadvertently trembled, and the cold touch of the rib cha crossed his neck, making Yu Qiuyan swallow his saliva. Seeing Yu Qiuyan push his ribs so close to the carotid artery, several ninjas who had already rushed not far in front of him also stopped, and even slowly took a few steps back, for fear that the prey in front of them would make some uncalm moves.

"My lord, this..."A Nakayama was confused for a while, "Although His Royal Highness Shishu asked us to kill Hatakeyama Takamasa... But he's an old immortal, if he can catch Yu Qiu, it must be better, right? If His Highness were here, he would definitely choose it this way! ”

"Don't forget the mission of our ninjas, we are to carry out orders!" Another shinobi retorted very dissatisfied: "His Royal Highness Shixiu asked us to kill Hatakeyama Takamasa, and we will kill Hatakeyama Takamasa!" What does the rain and autumn have to do with us? ”

"How can it be okay? The Yuqiu family is now the enemy of our Sanhao family! How do you compare Hatakeyama Takamasa and Yuqiu? With Yuqiu, we can hold Yuqiu Momiji hostage, and even force Yuqiu Momiji to leave the Oda family and join us! One of the middle ninjas standing in the distance hurriedly shouted, "My lord, think twice! ”

The argument between the three of them suddenly exploded in the team of the Miyoshi family, and everyone was arguing about whether to capture Yuqiu alive or kill Hatakeyama Takamasa, and for a while they couldn't care about Morita Evil Sho and them. Although Morita Sho was also shocked by the appearance of Yu Qiu, he quickly calmed down and tried to find an opportunity to escape.
