Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Ninja on the Road
Leaving Yokoyama Castle, Yakora and his party traveled for several days in a row, and met Hidetaka Kawajiri, who was sent by Oda Nobunaga to transport iron cannons to Gifu Castle at Azuchi Village. The two of them were very happy to reunite with Hidetaka Kawajiri, and Hidetaka Kawajiri also told Hidetaka about the recent interesting events in Gifu Castle, which made Hidetaka feel very comfortable. Kawajiri Hidetaka explained Ming Hai's recent situation in detail to Burning Sky, and after hearing this, Burning Sky nodded, and then said to Kawajiri Hidetaka: "Ming Hai still needs to hone his martial arts, otherwise it will be difficult to protect himself in troubled times." ”
Wasuka Masakatsu on the side arranged everyone in a nearby accommodation house and walked to the place where Kinkong was talking to Kawajiri Hidetaka. Just as Wasuka Masakatsu walked to the side of the Burning Void, Hidetaka Kawajiri suddenly said to the Burning Sky with a mysterious expression: "Mingshamen, do you know that you are often compared to the 'Omi Eagle' in your family now!" ”
After hearing this, Burning Sky looked flattered, and immediately said to Kawajiri Hidetaka: "You and I should treat this as a joke, don't believe it." After hearing this, Wasuka Masakatsu on the side laughed and said to the burning sky: "Mingshamen, you are wrong about this. ”
After hearing this, Kinkong and Kawajiri Hidetaka immediately looked at Wasuka Masakatsu, who spoke amazingly, and after hearing this, Wasuka Masakatsu said to Wasuka with a smile: "Mingshamen single-handedly won the Asai Rules, and twice defeated the attacks of the Asai coalition army, which is really comparable to the 'Omi Eagle'. ”
After hearing this, Burning Sky said to Wasuka Masakatsu: "Lord Beesuka's words have been received in the next, but if there is no Kinoshita-sama in the lower part of the city, and the majority of the Asai coalition army will be contained, and the consequences will be difficult to say." Wasuka Masakatsu smiled when he heard this, and then the three of them went back to the house to rest.
After eating their own rice balls in the evening, they went to bed early, and the burning sky gradually became accustomed to this kind of life of "sunrise and sunset". The burning sky and the peasants and soldiers were crowded in the same room, and the snoring of the peasants and soldiers came and went, which made the burning sky have a different experience.
The next day, just after dawn, the burning sky was woken up by the sound of the peasant soldiers getting up beside him. At this time, Wasuka Masakatsu also came to the house where the burning sky was burned, and said loudly to the burning sky: "There is a caravan in the village, Mingshamen quickly follow me to take a look." ”
After hearing this, Burning Sky thought to himself, at this point in time, when he came to the village, either the caravan wanted to do business in the village, or the caravan was not a serious caravan. Obviously, Wasuka Masakatsu was also the same as Burning Fantasy, and the two of them took their weapons and took Ashigaru and the peasant soldiers to the entrance of Azuchi Village.
When Burning Sky arrived at the entrance of Azuchi Village, Hidetaka Kawajiri was already talking to the caravan over there. When Kawajiri Hidetaka saw that Kinku and the others were coming, he said to Kinku and Wasuka Masakatsu: "This is the pottery of Kii Province, and I want to go to the area of Omi Province and Mino Province to sell pottery, passing through Azuchi Village, and now the village sells some pottery, so I have come to ask for our opinion." ”
After hearing this, Burning Sky glanced at Wasuka Masakatsu, and then said to Taosuke Rightemon, who was dressed as a businessman: "You can't wait for more than a dozen people, how dare you go all the way to Omi Province and Mino Province, and there are still a lot of pottery on the car, if there is any damage on the road, or if you encounter bandits, won't you lose all your money?" ”
After listening to Burning Heaven's words, Tao Suke Uemon quietly walked in front of Burning Void, and Burning Sky subconsciously put his hand on the knife on his waist. But I saw Tao Suke Uemon take out five copper coins from the bag around his waist, stuff them into the arms of the burning air, and said to the burning air: "I hope that the samurai will let me pass!" ”
Burning Sky looked at the smiling Taosuke Rightemon, and said to Taosuke Youemon, "You're in such a hurry to leave, aren't you doing business in the village?" After hearing this, Tao Suke Uemon said respectfully to the burning sky, "Naturally, we still have to do business here." ”
At this time, Wasuka Masakatsu walked out from behind the Burning Sky, bowed his head and said to the Burning Sky: "My lord, it is not easy for this person to sell pottery, why pretend to make things difficult, just let him go!" ”
After hearing this, Burning Sky immediately understood what Wasuka Masakatsu meant, so he said to Wasuka Masakatsu, "Okay, this matter will be handed over to you." After saying that, he was about to turn around and leave, but Wasuka Masakatsu was about to come forward and talk to Taosuke Righte. At the same time, Hidetaka Kawajiri, who was close to Tosuke Oemon, gave Hidetaka Kawajiri a look, and although Hidetaka Kawajiri was puzzled when he saw it, he still leaned towards Hidetaka Sakata.
Just when Wasuka Masakatsu came to the front of Tosuke Righte, Wasuka Masakatsu suddenly pulled out the ribs around his waist and stabbed at Tosuke Rightemon. Burning Sky also instantly pulled out the knife at his waist and rushed towards the retinue of those caravans. The rest of the ashigaru and peasant soldiers were still in a relaxed state, and suddenly saw their leader draw his sword and slash at the caravan in front of them, and they were stunned for a while.
At the moment when Masakatsu Wasuka pulled out his ribs, Tosuke Uemon threw out a kunai from his sleeve and blocked Masakatsu Wasuka's stabbing attack. Then the retinue behind Tao Suke Uemon pulled out a few knives from the cart, and the Burning Sky had already rushed in front of them, and after slashing down one of the retinues with a knife, the two sides fell into a stalemate. Kawajiri Hidetaka immediately reacted after seeing the burning sky slashing over a person, and shouted at Ashigaru and the peasant soldiers behind him: "It's a ninja, rush forward!" ”
Tao Suke Uemon glanced at Wasuka Masakatsu, smiled and said quickly, "Your Excellency really surprised Zaixia!" With that, he threw a bag of white powder from his sleeve, and the Burning Sky and Bee Suga Masakatsu, who had wanted to rush up, were instantly blocked from view, and the Ashigaru and the peasant soldiers also immediately stepped forward to protect the Burning Sky and Wasuka Masakatsu.
Hidetaka Kawajiri immediately ran up to Burning Sky and Wasuka Masakatsu and asked, "Meishamon and Wasuka-sama, are you all right?" ”
After receiving an unhindered reply from the two of them, Hidetaka Kawajiri said to the burning air: "Mingshamen, those goods..."
After looking at the goods piled up on the cart, he asked Wasuka Masakatsu, "My lord, what do you do with these goods?" ”
After hearing this, Wasuka Masakatsu thought for a while, and said to Burning Sky and Hidetaka Kawajiri, "Get some wooden signs, I think there may be traps left by ninjas in these goods, so let's be careful." ”
After hearing this, Ashoru and Kawajiri Hidetaka immediately ordered Ashigaru and the peasants to go to the village to look for wooden planks, and then the ashigaru and the peasants formed a circle, hid behind the wooden signs, and slowly approached the cart carrying the goods, and then several people used two guns to pick up the old cloth covering the cart.
The neat and clean pottery appeared in front of everyone, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and when the burning sky saw that he came to the pottery, he took these pottery off the car, and after carefully inspecting the cart, he said to everyone: "Let's bring these pottery to Hengshan Castle for everyone to use, what do you think of the six soldiers?" ”
