Looking at the somewhat nervous merchant in front of him, Sabei, who was already on guard, suddenly reacted, but before Sabei could give an order, the roar of a row of iron cannons had already resounded through the mountains and forests.

Sabei looked at the three or four fallen attendants beside him, and reacted instantly.

Ichisuke on the right and Akijiro Fushiwa, who had his arm grazed by the iron cannon, held down the merchant in front of him, while Fujido Takatora and the others immediately protected Sabei who had rolled into the bushes on the side.

Seeing this, Sabei shouted to his retainers and attendants who rushed towards him, "Disperse! ”

As soon as Sabei's words fell, another round of iron cannons rang out, adding a surprise to the quiet mountain forest, but there was a lot of blood in this amazement.

Sabei looked at the attendant who fell in front of him again, and shouted: "Kai's chaotic waves, Mingwei Xuanxin is here!" With that, Sabei threw the naginata in his hand towards the bushes beside him.

Seeing Akijiro Fushiha, who saw Sabei hiding in the bushes, joined forces with Ichisuke on the right to restrain the merchant in front of him, and then quickly dragged him into the bushes on the side. At the same time, Suzuki Heavy Industries, which was monitoring other merchants, heard the sound of two rounds of similar iron cannons, and his heart was terrified. After seeing that several close attendants had quickly rushed to the place where Sabei was, Suzuki Heavy Industries hurriedly commanded the standing assembly beside him.

As the naginata flew out, the branches driven by the naginata made a slight "swish" sound, and in an instant, several more arrows flew towards the direction of the naginata. Sabei looked at the arrows flying out, still speculating in his heart, but found that there were several shuriken embedded not far from him.

Sabei was terrified in his heart, shurikens are generally coated with poison, and if you are injured by a ninja's shuriken, it is difficult to completely unravel the poison on the shuriken, after all, each ninja has its own different concoction materials, even the best doctor can only unravel most of the poison in the face of ninja poison.

Thinking of this, Sabei slowly moved backwards against the ground. At this time, several attendants who arrived appeared in the field of vision of the guards, and before the guards could react, the attendants each covered different parts of their bodies.

Then the faces of the intruders became frightened, and then arrows flew out and pierced into their bodies.

Sabei looked at the attendant who had fallen to the ground in pain, and his body retreated a few steps back again.

Just as the opposite side kept shooting hidden weapons from different directions, Sabei's side fell into absolute silence. The only remaining attendants scattered and hid in the bushes at the orders of the Sabei guard, and only the screams of pain remained in the mountains and forests.

Suddenly, the ninjas' attack direction changed, upsetting the "balance" between the two sides. Sabei quietly observed the situation through the yellowed branches, and realized that it was Suzuki Heavy Industries that was organizing a standing counterattack.

Seeing this, Sabei was rapidly brewing in his heart how to cooperate with Suzuki Heavy Industries to fight back against the ninjas, and at this time, he suddenly heard Suzuki Heavy Industries shouting: "The enemy has no arrows and hidden weapons, everyone charge with me!" ”

Hearing this, Fushiwa Akijiro and Ichisuke Youkasuke and the others quickly got up, holding the blade in their hands and rushing in the direction of Suzuki Heavy Industries and the others.

The mountain forest was still quiet, and the Sabei who came out of the bushes looked at the seven attendants and two standing guards who were neatly placed on the ground, with an indescribable look in his eyes. Fujitang Gaohu on the side also lowered his head, and the ten-character gun in his hand kept trembling.

The wind swept across Sabei's cheeks, and Suzuki Heavy Industries, Fushiwa Akijiro and others dragged out the bodies of seven ninjas from the bushes on the other side. Sabei looked at the two of the corpses, which only had scars on their necks, and glanced up at Fushiwa Akijiro, who had his sword in the sheath, and found that Fushiwa Akijiro's eyes fell on the few attendants who were still twitching slightly.

Before Sabei could say anything, more than a dozen corpses were carried out by their colleagues. After Sabei's eyes touched the corpses, he saw Ichisuke on the right who walked at the end with his head down.

After seeing Sabei, Ichisuke walked quickly to Sabei and whispered to Sabei, "Brother, you can't catch it alive!" I..."

Hearing this, Sabei stepped forward and patted the shoulder of the right Ichisuke, and then said to the silent Fushiwa Akijiro on the side: "Akijiro organizes the military situation and counts the casualties!" After finishing speaking, Sabei walked up to Suzuki Heavy Industries again, patted Suzuki Heavy Industries and said: "This battle Goroubei will return to help in time, and there will be a heavy reward!" ”

Without waiting for Suzuki Heavy Industries to speak, Sabei pressed his saber and walked to the four attendants who still had their breath, and squatted down on their knees. Seeing this, Suzuki Heavy Industries and others also surrounded it. Sabei looked at the servant in front of him who had some of the skin on his body that had changed color and looked depressed and painful, and said to Suzuki Heavy Industries, "Goroubei, you are from Kii Saga, how much do you know about these poisons..."

As he spoke, Sabei stopped the squirming of his lips, looked up at the retainers and standing guards around him, and smiled bitterly. Seeing this, everyone also bowed their heads and said nothing, and when Ichisuke and Suzuki Heavy Industries saw this, they wanted to help Sabei up from the ground, but they were stopped by Sabei.

Then, under the gaze of everyone, the attendant on the ground used the last of his strength to say to the people around him: "Please... Beg... You guys... Let me be free! ”

Before everyone could react, the other attendants on the ground also spoke, "Lord Meijiro, please!" ”

Hearing this, Sabei got up slowly, and everyone looked at the silent Sabei in front of them, not knowing how to speak. At this time, the silent Fuyu Meijiro spoke: "My lord, leave this matter to me!" ”

At this time, Sabei suddenly shouted at Suzuki Heavy Industries, "This is the best choice, right?" Goroubei! ”

Suzuki Heavy Industries did not answer Sabei when he heard this, but pulled out his saber that he used as a walking stick. Immediately, Fujido Takatora and Right Ichisuke also pulled out their sabers, and Sabei glanced at the regular Heiji who was placed by himself not far away, and pulled out Kunijun from his waist.

A gust of mountain wind blew, and Sabei looked into the distance, wiping the blood stains on his saber with the haori in his hand. Then Sabei handed the haori in his hand to the humerus beside him, and after everyone had wiped the saber, Sabei put the haori on his body again.

A thick smoke mixed with the smell of barbecue wafted from the mountain, and Sabei and his party set out on the way back again. The rickshaw that was originally loaded with iron cannons was loaded with some corpses, and the mounts of Sabei and others were no longer the owners of the mounts, and the horses smelled death and were a little panicked, but they were stabilized by the master who was leading them in front of them.

Sabei's naginata was also found by Sabei not far from his hiding place, but this naginata was much heavier than before.

After leaving the sparsely populated hills of Kita-Omi, Sabei and his retainers were found by the villagers of an unknown small village with blood stained on Haori.

A few days later, Niwa Nagahide and Tsuda Nobusumi respectively inquired with Sabei about the massacre of Motoyama Village in southern Toshiki Prefecture and the looting of merchants on the road leading to Wakasa in Takashima Prefecture.

After receiving the letter from the two, Sabei wrote back to the two of them, mentioning that he had returned to Kuniyoshi Castle quickly after the attack, saying that he had no knowledge of the two incidents, and asked them for details of the incidents.
