The next day, Sabei, who was training his subordinates in Momoyama Castle, looked at Suzuki Heavy Industries and others, who had returned from purchasing pellets and gunpowder from Tsuruga Town, and asked them, "Tomita Nagashige didn't embarrass you, did he?" ’

Suzuki Heavy Industries and Chang Bei, who had returned with Suzuki Heavy Industries, were silent when they heard the news. Seeing this, Sabei felt that something was wrong with the situation, so he pressed the sword on his waist and walked towards Suzuki Heavy Industries, whose face was a little pale. Look

When Sabei walked to Suzuki Heavy Industries, he suddenly felt the stench of rotting flesh hit Sabei's face. Sabei forcibly held back the smell and asked Suzuki Heavy Industries, who was sweating finely from his head, "Goroubei, what happened?" Why is there such a foul smell, didn't you go to buy ammunition? Yan Bi Sabei looked at Suzuki Heavy Industries, who had a gorgeous small knife in his waist, and there were more doubts in his eyes.

Suzuki Heavy Industries bowed his head to Sabei and waved his hand to the standing guard behind him. At the signal of Suzuki Heavy Industries, the standing guards walked out of the queue carrying a corpse covered by a bamboo mat.

After the corpse was carried out by the standing guards, the smell of rancid smell in the air became even stronger. In shock, Sabei turned to the standing guards behind him and said, "You all go back and continue training!" Then Sabei said to Heiji, who was serving beside him, "Heiji summoned Yoshiya and Yoemon to my house!" ”

Yan Bi Sabei said to Chang Bei, who was carrying the corpse in front of him, "Go and leave the corpse outside the city for the time being, and don't damage his face!" Then Sabei waved at Suzuki Heavy Industries and said, "Goroubei, you come with me!" ”

After hearing this, Suzuki Heavy Industries whispered to Sabei and said, "My lord... This corpse has no head! ”

Sabei was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then asked Suzuki Heavy Industries with a stern face, "Is it the samurai you killed on the road?" ”

Suzuki Heavy Industries shook his head and said to Sabei, "The lord is still in the house!" ”

Sabei, who returned to the house, looked at Suzuki Heavy Industries, Kaiba Yoshiie, and Fujido Takatora in front of him, and asked Suzuki Heavy Industries, whose faces were even paler, "Goroubei, why did you leave a headless corpse in Momoyama Castle?" ”

After hearing this, Fujido Takatora and Kaima Yoshiya also looked at Suzuki Heavy Industries in surprise, and then the two looked at Sabei who was uncertain.

After listening to Sabei's words, Suzuki Heavy Industries lowered his head and said to Sabei: "My lord, this corpse was found on the road near Zhuangcheng today, and when I found this corpse, it was already headless, and it was lying naked in the field next to the road; Standing under the orders of his subordinates inquired about the situation in the surrounding villages, and the warriors in the villages told him that the body had been found by them yesterday afternoon, and that it had been decapitated when they found it, and finally they handed over the small sword to Zaixia, saying that they had taken it from the corpse. ”

Sabei looked at the small knife that Suzuki Heavy Industries pulled out of his waist, and his face suddenly became solemn. Suzuki Heavy Industries took out this small sword, which is not used by ordinary samurai, if the owner of this object is a samurai of no low status, in that case, who killed it? What was the purpose of killing him?

After Suzuki Heavy Industries presented the small sword to Sabei, the Kaima Yoshiya said to Sabei: "My lord, the person who beheaded him was to hide his identity, and if this is the case, my lord can send someone to inquire about it in several cities to the north." ”

Fujitang Gaohu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then asked in a low voice to the Seahorse Yijia, "Lord Seahorse, why do you want to go to several cities in the north to ask?" ”

After hearing this, Kaima Yoshiya first bowed his head to Sabei, and then said to Fujido Takatora: "With Youemon, because the scabbard decoration of this sword has a strong Beijing style, and the samurai who is good at using the small sword..."

After hearing this, Sabei nodded and said, "The Yoshiya also thinks that this person is more likely to be a samurai before North Vietnam. ”

Then Sabei threw the knife to Fujido Takatora and said to Fujido Takatora: "With Uemon, you go to Nanjo Castle, Hinoyama Castle and Fuchu Castle to inquire separately to find out the owner of this sword, and if no one claims it, be sure to take it with you!" ”

After receiving the order, Fujido Takatora immediately wrapped the small knife that Sabei threw at him, wrapped it in cloth, carried it on his back, and walked quickly out of Sabei's house.

Sabei looked at the Fujido Takatora who left, and suddenly became a little uneasy in his heart, a samurai with a high probability of coming from the former North Etzee was killed in Shimojin Shojo, and his head was also cut off, but the treasures on his body were not taken, this is definitely not an ordinary bandit or a warrior hunter.

Then Sabei said to Suzuki Heavy Industries, "Take me to the place where you found the body!" Suzuki Heavy Industries nodded in agreement, and then left Momoyama Castle with Sabei and Twenty Standing Guards, and walked towards the scene where the body was found near Imashojo Castle.

After examining the location where the body was found, Sabei shook his head, the place where the body was found was not the scene of the crime, and Sabei could not extract useful clues from here. After inquiring about the surrounding villages, Sabei returned to Momoyama Castle with Suzuki Heavy Industries and others with some disappointment.

Originally, Sabei was going to be persuaded by Suzuki Heavy Industries to prepare to deal with this matter as an ordinary matter. However, Fujido Takatora and Hashiba Hidecho and others who rushed from the moonlight shocked Sabei and the others.

Yushiba Hidenaga, who was standing outside the city to claim the corpse, looked up at Sabei who walked out of the city, and hurriedly ran up to Sabei and asked, "Lord Mingwei, where was the body of Sanbingzhu found?" Some of the stunned Sabei briefly told Hashiba Hidecho about today's events.

After hearing this, Yushiba Hidecho pulled Sabei aside and whispered to Sabei: "Lord Mingwei, Sanbei is a samurai under my sect, this little sword is given to him by me, and this little sword is a gift from the Asakura family, I have already confirmed that this leaderless corpse is the three soldiers, and I sent the three soldiers yesterday to report to my brother that the Asakura family is willing to surrender!" ”

Hearing this, Sabei turned blue in an instant, and said to Yuchai Hidena: "If this matter is leaked by him, it will be no good for you and me!" ”

After hearing this, Yuchai Hidecho shook his head and said, "I don't know what happened to the three soldiers?" It's just that who intercepted him halfway? ”

As soon as Yu Shibaxiu said a long word, both of them fell into silence in an instant. After a few breaths of silence, Sabei said to Yuchai Xiuchang: "Master Xiu, go back and sort out your armaments, a storm is coming, I wish you good luck!" ”

After hearing this, Yuchai Xiuchang nodded, and said to Sabei: "Lord Mingwei, you and I still need to watch and help each other at that time, and I also wish you prosperity in martial arts!" ”

Yan Bi Yu Chai Xiuchang said to the attendants behind him: "Take away the body of the three soldiers!" Immediately, Hashiba Hidecho and his entourage disappeared on the road to North Vietnam with torches.

Suzuki Heavy Industries looked at the fire that was extinguished in the darkness and said to Sabei, "Lord, what information did Master Shu tell the lord?" ”

After hearing this, Sabei sighed and said to the night sky, "I don't know if Meijiro can survive this storm!" ”
