A long time ago, Keer Caizo once asked Keiji Maeda......

[Keijiro-kun, you seem to be very likable to women? 】

[Haha, don't be too straightforward, it's okay......]

So, can I ask you a question? 】

[Just say hello.] 】

[Excuse me, in your eyes...... What is the difference between love and true love? 】

Because Keiji Maeda is a complete playboy.

According to the words of their lord, Mr. Nobumitsu Kogoro, this gentleman is an out-and-out scumbag in his private life.

And Yoshio Kobayashi, a famous doctor who has always been very close to Keiji Maeda, wrote in his private diary:

[If Keiji Maeda were to travel back in time to the 21st century, I would not be at all worried that he would be troubled because he was not familiar with contemporary daily life skills.

He doesn't need to struggle in any way, he can live the life he wants very happily.

Don't think I'm joking, every word I write in this diary is true.

(I'm curious, who exactly is this diary for?) Who can see it except the protagonist and you, if it spreads to modern times, it is estimated that it will scare a large number of people to death! ）

He's not like the rest of us.

In the twenty-first century, he is also a handsome guy comparable to Masaharu Fukuyama and Shun Oguri, and he has a strong body...... Of course, the main thing is his broken mouth that is especially good at coaxing women!

That's right! Coaxing women to be happy and living by women is his way of survival!

He can wear the Cartier necklace given by his ex-girlfriend and the Rolex watch given by his ex-girlfriend, wear the Armani suit given by his ex-ex-girlfriend, drive the BMW given by his ex-ex-ex-girlfriend, and then go to his ex-ex-girlfriend again, which is really worthy of a man among men...... Right! Yes, I admit that I do envy him for a woman like me. 】

And as his boss, wise Kogoro...... Don't get me wrong! It's not that great detective Wise Kogoro, it's just a simple Sengoku figure!

I once had a conversation with Keiji Maeda.

That was seven or eight years ago, when I first met him.

[Keijiro, I heard that you hooked up with a girl from a certain family yesterday, right? 】

[Ha, let the young master know...... Hee-hee, it's okay......]

[Serious! I'm not complimenting you! Hiss ......】

I took a bite of the noodles, trying to use its power to suppress the anger in my heart.

But it doesn't seem to have much effect.

[You should check your private life once in a while! 】

[Young master, you don't know, in fact, I have always been very careful, and I am also a good man...... Ask the girls I've been in a relationship with, and even if they end up breaking up, none of them hate me. 】

[This is never a glorious thing!] What kind of good man are you...... Hey, that's all the noodles are done? Ah Xiang, go and add a bowl for me. 】

【Okay.】 】

Xiangji took the bowl and got up to leave.

Still, I can guess what she was thinking.

My wife is very willing to stay here.

The conversation between me and Keichi Maeda was like cross talk.

He's in charge of playing dumb.

I deserve to be responsible for complaining.

From just now to now, Xiang Ji doesn't know how many times she has covered her mouth and snickered.

Keiji Maeda watched as Kahime went to the kitchen to refill the noodles (strange, why didn't you put the pot or bucket for the noodles here?). Isn't it much easier to serve noodles like that? The back said thoughtfully:

[Actually, young master, you are much stronger than me. 】

[Don't make fun of my wife! 】

[Don't be angry, I have 120,000 points of respect for the young master, you and the young lady, and I will never dare to have any disrespectful ......]

Listening to his words, I not only did not rejoice, but said in a tone that was neither yin nor yang:

[You are also worthy of praise for this place, otherwise, with the things and comments you caused outside, I would have swept you out of the house a long time ago. 】

[Young master! Thanks to your great kindness, I was able to become a samurai again...... My whole life is dedicated to the wise family, even if the young lord or the lord chases me, I will not leave. 】

Seeing Keiji Maeda's appearance of [brave and loyal to the sun], my stomach was churning.

Don't get me wrong, I wasn't moved, I felt like I wanted to vomit.

Of course you won't be leaving me!

Who would lend you money so generously but me?

Who would give you a hairy boy as tall as that?

Who would be so indulgent in your prodigal behavior out there?

The person in front of him, the degree of [nonsense] is far better than everyone in contemporary times, in our time, it is called what [kill Matt (eh, it should be called [visual kei] in Japan)], [Fat Pig Flow (Author, you definitely did it on purpose!) ）】。

Go back a few years to the sixties and seventies, and it's called "hippies" and "punk".

Of course, whether it is [Kill Matt] or [Punk], even in a very tolerant modern age, it is difficult to be accepted.

If you think about it, what was not acceptable in the twenty-first or twentieth century was placed in the more traditional sixteenth century...... Who can understand?

Even Oda Nobunaga, who is known as the "Great Fool of Owari", felt unacceptable to this guy's behavior.

Kick him out of Owari!

[So what do you want to tell me?] 】

[uh...... Young master, you don't have to teach me a lesson......]

[What's the matter?] He's still reasonable, isn't he?! I said you can't do both, are you going crazy?! 】

He hurriedly grabbed my shoulders to avoid my outburst.

[Calm down, calm down, young master, I don't mean anything else...... In fact, everything I do is to catch up with you, young master? 】

【？ 】

I stared at the man in front of me, not knowing what he was talking about.

In his eyes, I am also a person like the [Light Source]?

Wrong wrong!

So far, there shouldn't be any other women around me besides Oda Ka, right?

Yuzi came home when she had nothing to do.,I'm always in love with her.,Although I do have a little bit of sister control attributes.,But ...... Phew! Who's in control!

(I feel like I can't figure it out...... ）

But I didn't seem to be able to hide my thoughts.

[Young master, although I don't know what it's called [sister control], but it turns out that you are to Princess Yuzi...... Uh......]

[Forget what I just said......]

[Young master, your eyes are so terrifying......]

[This is not the point, forget everything I just said......]

【Young Master ......】

[If the words just now get out, I will be the first to cut you out, regardless of whether you did it or not......]

【……】

(For the current appearance of the protagonist, please refer to the blackened my wife Yuno in "Future Diary"...... ）

[Forget it......]

[Okay, young master, I swear here, if you dare to leak half of your words, young master, let me ...... Just let me become a eunuch, and I won't be able to soak in a girl again! That's okay, right? 】

[Hmm.] 】

I nodded.

[Given that people like you can't live without women, this oath can be said to be quite vicious...... I forgive you. 】

[Thank you, young master...... But...... Ahem, young master, can you loosen my neckline first? I...... I'm speechless......]

[hum......]

I let him go.

At this time, Kahime came over with noodles.

[My lord, you seem to have had a good chat with Mr. Maeda.] 】

[uh...... Right! I'm on good terms with Keijiro......]

[Yes......]

Two men were talking nonsense with their eyes open.

Xiang Ji smiled:

[Mr. Maeda, your bowl is also empty, do you need me to ......]

[How dare you bother the young lady, I'll just go myself......]

Having said that, after some prevarication without any nutrition, Kahime still went out with Keiji Maeda's bowl.

[Actually, the young master doesn't seem to be able to speak very well on the surface, but in fact...... I'm afraid that my experience with women is already deeper than mine. 】

When he said this, Keiji Maeda's ill-intentioned thief laughed.

How so? 】

In fact, I admire what he said in my heart.

In my previous life, I was indeed a young man with a chaotic private life, worse than Keiji Maeda.

But he saw it all, really......

Today, our family ate [salted ramen], and it happened that Keiji Maeda came, so I pulled him to eat a little.

But in fact, this gentleman eats more than my wife and I combined.

[Young master, although you look serious all day long, in fact, you have more experience in dealing with women than me. 】

【……】

[If you have a chance, I really imagine that the young master would ask you for a few tricks. 】

[I don't call other people that boring stuff......]

[How can it be boring?] Let's promote [The Way of Love] together and recruit more companions! 】

This guy is even talking more and more.

[This will cause trouble to the Japanese public, please don't.] And it's not a good thing for a playboy like you to have company, right? If there are more peers, won't Keiji Maeda feel nerve-wracking? 】

Did you still soak in chicks at that time?

[There's no such thing!] Didn't the Maori Yuan Gong also say it? One rope is easy to bend, but three ropes can't be bent......]

(Note: In Japanese, "rope" and "little white face" are homophonic)

[The three are bent together!] And people say that arrows are not ropes! You don't want to tamper with celebrity quotes casually, okay?! 】

Because of this personality of Keiji Maeda, he also has a unique insight into the relationship between men and women.

[Actually, the most important thing in dealing with people is how to control a woman's mood! 】

[Do you mean that according to different times and occasions, let the other party sometimes regard you as a confidante and sometimes treat you as a husband? 】

Keiji Maeda's eyes widened, and his lips trembled with emotion.

[I haven't told you anything, but you have already realized the ultimate mystery...... Sure enough, it's a genius! I don't have much more to teach you! 】

He was moved to tears (definitely pretended!). ）。

[Young master, you still say that you are not a love expert, obviously...... In the future, I really want to ask the young master to teach me more! 】

[The ghost will teach you this...... And, isn't that what you told me when you were drunk! 】

[No, how can I be so great...... I guess I must have learned this from you! 】

This person even began to fabricate his memories!

[What can I do to make the woman think of you as a boyfriend?] Keiji Maeda, don't you sometimes live in the woman's house, stay for ten days and half a month, and still accept the food offerings that people give you? …… Oops, I can't go on, how can there be such a bad person as you in the world?! …… No matter how you look at it, it looks like [scum]! 】

[It has nothing to do with food or anything!] That's what I learned...... The object of love is the boyfriend, and the object of true love is the husband. 】

[To put it mildly, it's actually a concubine, right?! 】

[It's almost the same meaning, young master, you actually agree with my point of view, right? 】

[Maybe...... So what's the difference, exactly? 】

[Are you saying that there is a difference between love and true love?] 】

The person who can say such disgusting lines without blushing or panting is probably the only one I know Keiji Maeda.

Because it was so humiliating, I decided to lower my head and not look at him.

However, Keiji Maeda replied without thinking:

[There's no difference, both are sexual! 】

[You're really open-mouthed...... In my life, the most brazen person I have ever met is none other than Keijiro Maeda's interests. 】

[Young master, you are too polite, hehe......hee]

[Shut up!] I'm not complimenting you! 】

So what's going on with all that talk?

[For example, whether you look at me from the right or the left, I'm still Keiji Maeda?] That's it. Love and true love are both sides of sex and desire, and my view of love is to let girls see the side they want to see. 】

It can still be so perfectly justified. But, of course, it's all possible that it's all nonsense.

Looking back now, the sentence that Keiji Maeda whispered later may be what he really thought.

[So...... I can't face them head-on. If I had met someone I could face head-on, I might not have been a prodigal son anymore. 】

[Prodigal son? I think you're a prodigal, obviously just a little white face......]

[Four, five, six? What four, five, six, roll the dice? 】

(In Japanese, "little white face" is a homonym for "four, five, six.") ）

[Actually, the women I am looking for, the combined looks of all of them are not as good as a quarter of the young lady...... That's why I say I'm catching up with you, young master? 】

[Really? 】

[It must be true, the young lady has both the temperament of Lord Nayan (referring to Oda Nobunaga) and the beauty of Mrs. Nohime, and I am afraid that no one in this world can compare with it. 】

[I thank you for Ah Xiang! 】

[I don't know if I will have such a good fortune as the young master in the future......]

[uh...... Actually, this is not a blessing......]

【？ 】

I lowered my voice and said to him:

[Actually, although my Ah Xiang looks very weak, she looks more like she needs my careful care...... But in reality, she was far from being strong than I could have imagined. 】

[Does the young lady belong to the kind of one that is soft on the outside and rigid on the inside? 】

Keiji Maeda came interested.

[Maybe that's how to put it...... How do you say it? Her city and scheming are not something I can see through...... There is a feeling of black belly. 】

[Black belly? What's that? 】

[Yes?] What is called black-bellied, my lord, there are so many new words that have come out of your mouth recently. 】

[Black belly is...... Ahhh 】

Kahime was still smiling, holding a tray of steaming ramen noodles in her hand.

[I came here before, and I was interested in what the two of you said, so I couldn't help but eavesdrop for a while......]

The two of us bowed our heads in front of [Teacher Ah Xiang] like elementary school students who had done something wrong.

[Teacher Xiang] still kept smiling, and she put the tray on the desk.

[Mr. Maeda, a lot of your words are really hard to hear, at least from the perspective of us women, some ......]

[Young lady forgive! 】

Keiji Maeda, who was still unscrupulous in front of me just now, was immediately shocked by [Teacher Axiang].

She is truly the daughter of Principal Oda.

If I am not angry and arrogant, I am useless as a [Discipline Inspector].

[Principal? Discipline Commissioner? What are you talking about, my lord? 】

[Nothing ......]

I made a straw...... My heart has been seen through by others again, can't I hide my secret?!

Kahime then smiled at Keiji Maeda and said:

[I heard that inside the palace of the Ming Dynasty, there is a group of men who specialize in serving the emperor and **...... There are no such people in our country, Mr. Maeda......]

[Eh, young lady, please command.] 】

A cold sweat broke out on Keiji Maeda's forehead.

[Can I ask someone to do some [modifications] on your body, so that you won't be able to harm the women of our country, and you won't lose the face of Japanese men......]

[Young lady, please forgive your sins...... I suddenly remembered that there were some things to do, so I quit first! 】

Keiji Maeda wiped his sweat and ran away.

[And you, my lord......]

[Huh? What's wrong? 】

[I'm annoying, adult, don't pretend to be stupid anymore......]

The current Kahime is more like [my wife Yuno] than the previous me, and she still raises the firewood knife.

[What is called black belly...... I've never heard of it, but I can feel it, and it doesn't seem like a good word......]

The way you look now is black-bellied......

【Hmm......】

Keiji Maeda woke up from his dream.

It turned out that he was asleep.

He was in a tent, covered with a blanket, and on one side was a burning brazier.

There was no one else in the tent but himself.

There was a bowl of tea on the desk next to him, and Keiji Maeda had just woken up, his throat was so dry that he picked it up and drank it without thinking about it.

The tea temperature is still hot, and it seems that it is not long before the cup is refilled.

When I want to get up, I feel a little pain all over my body.

Oh, I remembered...... I've been fighting for the past few days, and I've been playing as a striker...... Hmm, how many people have been killed...... I can't remember exactly, there were 30 enemy generals with names and surnames, and I killed 30...... Maybe there are only about twenty ...... It's pretty much the same anyway.

In the tactics formulated by the military advisor Masanobu Honda, Keiji Maeda rushed to the front as a single arrow striker.

The second is Matsukura Shigemasa lying in ambush behind him.

After that, there is Akechi Mitsutada, Akechi Nobuya, Honda Masanobu and others suppressing the midfield......

Keiji Maeda was able to rush to the front, and his combat effectiveness can be seen.

In fact, his martial arts are not the most important, after all, in large-scale joint battles, the power of spear skills is very limited.

His real strength is his impact!

The tall and sturdy body gives the enemy a great sense of oppression, and every time he breaks into the enemy's formation, he can mess up the enemy's formation.

The allies behind followed and annihilated the chaotic enemy.

This method has been tried and tested, probably because there has never been a samurai in the enemy camp who can compete with Keiji Maeda.

In total, Keiji Maeda made a dozen waves of charges, killing an incalculable number of enemies.

His physical strength was terrifying enough -- ordinary people couldn't last such a long fight.

If he hadn't been hit in the shoulder by a bullet and fell off his horse, maybe he would have continued to fight.

When he walked out of his tent, it was already the middle of the night.

Torches are lit inside and outside the camp, so it's not cold even in winter.

He saw that the general of the navy, Akechi Sun Shiro, was talking to the acting general Hosokawa Fujitaka, and the expressions of both of them were serious.

In the end, Wise Sun Shiro saluted Hosokawa Fujitaka and left.

Could it be that something happened on the sea?

[It's really worthy of [Flower Keiji],]

Suddenly, a man's lazy voice came from behind him.

[Your body is really not ordinarily good, ordinary people have been fighting for so long, and they have been wounded by gunshot wounds, and they can't wake up without sleeping for more than ten hours, I thought I wouldn't see you until tomorrow night, but I didn't expect you to wake up in only five or six hours...... In the end, it's [the first stranger of the Warring States], and you can always see some strange things from you......]

Without looking back, Keiji Maeda knew that the person who spoke was a doctor in the army, and at the same time his friend, Yoshio Kobayashi.

[Xiaolin, can I take your words as a compliment? 】

[That's right...... But if you agree with me, go back and sleep quietly, it's cold now, and it's not good for your wounds to heal! 】

[But I'm full of energy now.] 】

[This doesn't mean anything, if you take care of your body, you should know that you can't win the battlefield now. 】

[Okay, but I wonder if anything has changed on the battlefield during the time I've been sleeping?] 】

[Change?] The only change is that the battle is over, and everyone can rest for a while. 】

[What? The war is over! 】

Keiji Maeda was shocked, and his greatest fear was to end the war while he was away, so that he would not be able to build more credit.

[Hmm...... Don't worry, didn't I just say [for a moment]? The end of the war does not mean that the war is over, and now everyone is in a stalemate, Mori Terumoto and Yoshikawa Motoharu are staying together in the snow temple, and our officers and generals at all levels are also in urgent recuperation, and it seems that this year will be passed here. 】

[So, what happened to Zuo Majie? 】

[After you fall, Zuo Masuke will take your place on the front line, and your army will be under his command for the time being, and Yoichiro will also follow your reserve on the left and right, so you don't need to worry! Go to bed early, compared to you as an idle person, I still have countless officers and soldiers to treat? 】

Keiji Maeda thinks about it, there really isn't anything he can do here.

Forget it, there's nothing wrong with going back to sleep.

[Okay then, I'll go first...... Wait a minute! 】

[What's wrong with you?! 】

[I saw Lord Sun Shiro leave in a hurry just now, what happened? Could it be that there is a situation at sea? 】

[Lord Sun Shiro? It seems that this has nothing to do with you, he is engaged in the navy, you are in charge of the cavalry, and it is of no use to you if you know about him. 】

[Eh, Xiaolin, you're not enough friends, although I don't have much friendship with Lord Sun Shiro, but we are officials in the same dynasty, at least some colleagues. 】

[But it's useless to know it, do you still want to jump on the boat to help him?] 】

[Okay, you can think of it as satisfying my curiosity.] 】

Kobayashi Fango has long been surprised by Maeda Keiji's questioning method of [playing a scoundrel while setting up friendship].

But after all, the friendship is there, and there is no need to lose his face.

[I can't stand you...... I've got you covered...... This evening, we got word from Shinobu who was monitoring the Shimazu family that the Shimazu Legion had appeared in the waters west of Kitakyushu! Looks like it's coming for us! 】

[What? People from the Shimazu family also came...... Hmm......]

The reason why he didn't make a sound behind him was because Yoshio Kobayashi [fiercely] grabbed her shoulders with his hand, made him lower his body, and covered her mouth with his other hand.

[What are you yelling about?! This news is still a secret for the whole army at present, and if you talk about it online and maintenance, it will affect the morale of the army. 】

[Ahh I'm sorry...... So, did the military department send Lord Sun Shiro to meet the enemy in a hurry? 】

[Hmm...... But the same cannot be said. 】

[Huh? 】

[Actually, this is the lord's idea. 】

[It turned out to be...... Wait a minute, didn't the lord return to Azuchi City, you only got the news in the evening, the lord can't ......]

[Do you think everyone is as brainless as you? 】

Kobayashi Fangxiong couldn't stand the fact that this guy was always startled, and said with a sense of powerlessness:

[The lord has already arranged it, as soon as the Shimazu army intervenes in this war, Lord Sun Shiro will start acting as planned. 】

[Plan? What is the plan? 】

[It's ......]

Kazuo Kobayashi suddenly closed his mouth.

[You better go back to sleep, I still have to [Pick up the lantern night battle], I don't have time to chat with you. 】

Keiji Maeda hurriedly grabbed him.

[Hey, hey, why did you suddenly change your face. 】

[I'm sorry, I really can't tell you this, until the main plan was only Hosokawa-sama-sama and Ake-sagi Zomasuke-sama, and even elders like Mitsutada-sama didn't know...... You don't have to wonder how I know, this was inadvertently told to me by Lord Warbe, but until now, I haven't figured out what this plan is about. 】

Keiji Maeda asked again and again, Yoshio Kobayashi always kept silent, he had been with the latter for so long, Keiji Maeda also knew his temper, if he was forced to be anxious, he couldn't talk about it on his face, and it hurt his friendship even more.

So he walked back to the tent in a huff.

Even Guangzhong didn't know, it didn't seem to be too much of a loss......

At this time, I suddenly heard Yoshio Kobayashi muttering to himself:

[By the way, I heard a wounded soldier who was withdrawn from the front line say that Ke'er just hid in Qingye Village, and I don't know if it's true or not......]

Ke'er Caizang followed the ditch all the way to the north, ran for four or five miles in one go, and came to a crossroads.

I'm exhausted!

He stopped, looked back, and saw that there was no enemy chasing him, and there was an uproar over the village.

He knew it was the enemy and searched for it.

[Let these stupid bastards search it!] Oops, I'm so tired! If you're thirsty, let's rest here and catch your breath. He crouched down with his gun and lay on the ground as if he were paralyzed. 】

Lying on the ground with a bag of cigarettes, dizzy and dizzy like driving a cloud.

He suddenly thought:

Not good! I'm going to sleep here, it's dangerous, get up.

Not only because this is still the enemy's sphere of influence, but also because Yoshio Kobayashi once told him.

[Don't fall asleep after being seriously injured, because if you sleep like this, even I will be difficult to wake you up again.] 】

That's right! Isn't sleeping here tantamount to looking for death?!

I need to get out of here.

He stepped forward.

[Oops! 】

The pain all over his body, his limbs were sore, the pain of the wound was gouging and gouging, and his eyes were dark, and he almost didn't fall.

He closed his eyes, fixed his mind, and looked at it in his heart:

[Can't I go?] If you can't go, you have to go...... Ah, which way shall I go? This intersection is a little familiar, when did you walk through here? …… Wait a minute, I remembered, this bow-shaped avenue to the east, after passing through four villages, you can return to the base camp of our army......]

Ke'er Caizang endured the pain all over his body, walked another three or four miles, crossed a village, and turned southwest in order to cross the river.

After walking another mile or two, I passed the head of a village, and when I looked up to the south, the fire on the embankment appeared again.

Yes! The embankment is also blocked.

Still going west, let me see if there is a leader in this fire?

He walked west for a long time, and he didn't know how far he had walked, but there were still those piles on the embankment.

It's a bad river! …… Oh, it's not good for Lao Tzu to live! Go to the fire and have a look.

So he went straight down the embankment.

At this time, he felt that his legs were much more clumsy-the feet were so heavy that he could not lift them, the wounds were painful, his head was swollen, his mouth was dry, and his mind was a little dazed, but he was still determined to cross the river and go forward.

He was not familiar with this section of the road, so he easily walked on the avenue, and looked at the fire on the embankment or could not see the head, he was really a little impatient, and when he was in a hurry, his head was dazed, and he felt that his head was as big as a wheat bucket. There is no root under his feet, and his heart is like a fire.

The roots of his tongue are dry, and flowers are bursting in front of him.

As long as I jump into the river and still have no water to drink? So he went on again.

It's really uncomfortable, you have to hurry up...... Hey?! Who's that?!

At this time, Ke'er Caizang suddenly noticed that there was a person behind him, about a hundred meters away.

I couldn't see what he was holding, but I saw a grayish-yellow shadow following him.

It is strange to say, he walks the man and the man walks, he stands and the man squats, he walks fast, the man walks fast, he walks slowly, and the man walks slowly.

Sticking to him like a leech.

This time, it was inexplicable to hide Keer's talent.

Fuck it! Did the ronin chase down?

Isn't that right? Those damn ronins don't have the guts! And aren't they being beaten now?

Ninja tracking? No, if the enemy found out about me, he would still be able to follow me like this?

Give me a kunai or shuriken, and I'll have to go to the west to worship the Buddha.

What's going on?

Leave him alone, move on.

But he always muttered in his heart as he walked, and when he walked, he was still following behind.

TMD！ You're not done yet, are you?!

Ke'er just hid the fire:

[I told you to follow, I haven't been afraid of one hundred and eighty samurai, can I still be afraid of you? …… See what you are. 】

He put the katana in his hand, and felt that the spirit leader was coming again, and turned back and walked towards the man.

As soon as he walked back in, the man immediately crouched down, and could not see what he was holding up, and shook it, and went back in, but he bent his waist so low that he could barely be seen by the shadows of the trees.

Looking into the distance, it seems that something is moving, but I can't see clearly. At this time, Ke'er was a little weak-hearted, so she also bent down, and after walking a short distance, the person was gone.

Ke'er hid around and didn't show any signs, and when he heard that there was no movement around, he thought that the person might have run away because he was afraid.

him, what does he care about? I'll go mine.

But when I looked up, I saw a small moon on the southeastern horizon, which was thin and curved.

Ah, it's almost dawn! Looking at this hook and the waning moon, isn't it December 5th according to the lunar calendar?

If you look closely, the east is already white, and there is probably no hope of crossing the river today.

What to do?

Fortunately, the terrain in this area is not bad, a large area of saline-alkali land in the north, looking into the distance, there are three large kilns burning bricks on the east, west and north sides, and there are moats more than half a person high in the alkaline land.

[There's no way, let's get into this Suaeda tree first.] 】

He walked a few steps to the edge of the Suaeda tree.

Just walked in, suddenly, a guy who called out two people came up beside him, one hid Ke'er and hugged him, and the other pinched his neck with both hands, Ke'er couldn't move, and he couldn't shout, but he still struggled hard.

Not good! This man has formal combat training, and is probably neither a ninja nor a ronin...... It turned out to be a serious soldier......

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel scared.

Is it true that I am going to die here today?

At this time, I heard a man say:

"Put him inside.] 】

The other said:

[Take his knife away first.] 】

While he was talking, more than a dozen people came from the side.

[Huh? This person...... Isn't this person Mr. Keer Caizang Jichang? 】

Then I heard another voice say:

[Ke'er is hiding Ji Chang? Could it be the famous samurai, the one who is called [Bamboo Stick Eizo]? 】

Nonsense! Who else but Lao Tzu?!

[Yasuda-sama is here, let him take a look.] 】

Then I saw a figure approaching.

[Huh? Kerr-sama? Why are you here? 】

Huh? Why does this sound sound familiar?

It's a pity that Ke'er Caizang is now physically exhausted, don't talk anymore, and he doesn't even have the strength to open his eyes.

I heard the Yasuda-sama say urgently:

[Oh no! Lord Kerr is now hungry and unconscious, come and eat...... Bring the freshly cooked miso soup and get another rice ball! 】……

Ten minutes later, after drinking a big bowl of miso soup and eating three or four rice balls, Keer Caizang finally recovered a little.

Only then did he notice the person in front of him......

[Huh? As a soldier-sama? How are you?! 】

It turns out that the name of this [Yasuda-sama] is Yasuda Sakubei Kunitsugu.

In addition, he and Kerr Caizang are friends at the mahjong table...... So far, Ke'er Caizang, who has bad luck, still owes him six taels of silver.

[What else do I want to ask you this question?] My reserve was temporarily stationed here, and my men said that they had captured an unidentified samurai, and I thought it was you...... How did you get to this point? 】

[This is a long story, my reserve team is exhausted...... By the way, Sakubei, didn't you join the Yamazaki Rangers? Isn't it supposed to be in the mountains now? How could it be ......]

[Our plan failed, probably because Yoshikawa Motoharu had already seen through the lord's attempt, on the mountain, there was a force that always stuck to us, but did not take the initiative to fight us, so we rushed down the mountain, wanting to join the base camp, what about you? 】

[As for me...... It's so sad along the way, I almost didn't die, so it's a long story...... It's too cold here, can you take me somewhere warmer? 】

[Of course this is no problem, please ......]

When he finally met his comrades, Ke'er hid and relaxed.

[Unexpected! You can all come alive in this situation! You're not an ordinary big guy......]

As he spoke, he immediately gave Ke'er a punch to hide affectionately, and this punch hit his waist.

Yasuda as a guard often asks Keer Caizang to teach martial arts, and in normal times, Keer Caizang can easily overturn Yasuda as a guard.

However, now Mr. Kerr is full of colors, and he is only afraid of ......

Ke'er Caizang was about to lose his support, and was knocked down by Yasuda Zuobei's punch.

He sat down on the ground and shouted:

[Why are you so unslippery (Beijing dialect?) ）？ Don't you see that I'm wounded? 】

Yasuda didn't say anything as a soldier, just swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and hurriedly pulled Ke'er up again.

His cold fist really choked Ke'er Caizang enough, and Ke'er Caizang stood up and said:

[Now you're still as good as usual.] 】

[Okay, okay, this time it's mine, you owed me money before, the six taels of silver, I don't want it, I will treat it as an apology to you, how about it? ] 】

[No, when did I owe you money, obviously you owe me six taels of silver......]

[You dare to take the opportunity to tamper with your memories and fish all over your body......]

These two people fought unscrupulously, but they thundered the ashigaru soldiers on one side.

What's going on with these two adults......

However, although Ke'er Caizang has returned to his camp, it does not mean that he is safe.

After all, Kumagai Motonao's army is still behind.

Speaking of which, it should explain the enemy's situation, after making a fuss for so long, where did these enemies come from?

It turned out that after Ke'er hid a hemp rope in a group, he commanded all his men and horses to collect seven in and seven out in Qingye Village, not to mention Ke'er's hiding, and he didn't even see the shadow of a wise army.

His brethren came to him and reported:

[No enemy found!] Ke'er has already run away! 】

As soon as this old guy heard this, the fire was bigger!

What the?! Lao Tzu worked hard for so long, and in the end he didn't get anything?!

If you don't say it's [Mixed Black Dao], you can understand it by looking at his evil energy:

He held his breath and froze the boss, and did not move, like a big peg wedged on the ground. When he exhaled his breath, a pair of eyes turned in a half-circle.

Suddenly, he raised the command knife in the air, and he couldn't tear his throat apart, so he shouted twice:

[Ke'er can't run away from hiding! I hold it all in general! 】

What he wants to catch is not only Ke'er Caizang, but also his dream of becoming a samurai!

That's what he said, but his strength is limited, there are only more than a hundred people, so let Ke'er hide and kill a few, and let ...... Kumagai Moto, who was drinking water while doing Youya, killed twenty or thirty of them, and now that there is a shortage of manpower, how can such a large place be arranged?

He still really estimated:

[The Eighth Route Army that rushed out had to cross the river, but if it couldn't cross the river, it would have to hide in the alkaline land nine times out of ten. 】

So he decided to first form a [human flesh net] with these dozens of troops and pull around the alkaline area.

But in the end, he still pounced, and his evil spirit did not come out, and then he surrounded this big sand depression again.

Just now, Kumagai Motonao, who was on his left, was making a fuss here, which meant that his [Human Flesh Net] had begun to pull around again.

[Okay, Mr. Yi, with your current manpower, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch Ke'er and hide it, so leave it to me to deal with. 】

Kumagai Moto's water was almost drunk, and he stood up from the maza.

[Kumagai-sama said with a smile, just catch a person who is dying, how can you bother the talents of the Kumagai family, a famous family in Kansai, or leave it to us with mud legs......]

Are you kidding? Are you here to grab dinner?

Although a hemp rope smiled kindly, like a retired grandfather from a neighbor's house, in his heart, he really wanted to chop the [famous disciple] in front of him into pieces, and then take it to make dumplings to eat.

If Yoshikawa Motoharu or some other samurai with experience in dealing with people was here, he would probably be able to hear the murderous intent hidden in the words of a hemp rope.

However, given that Kumagai Motonao ...... This guy can basically be said to have been born with a golden spoon, and he was spoiled in the family after he was born, and then on the issue of inheriting the patriarch's position, he had his grandfather Kumagai Nobunao and his uncle Yoshikawa Motoharu to help him settle it, so how could he work hard?

In this war, Yoshikawa Motoharu also picked a [fat difference] for him, and asked him to take 3,000 troops to destroy the Yamazaki Rangers with less than 1,000 people.

If it was another veteran with some battlefield experience, he would have annihilated the Yamazaki Rangers who had come from afar and were not familiar with the mountain environment a long time ago.

But this Kumagai young master is good, not only did he not destroy the enemy, but instead asked the Yamazaki Rangers to give [masturbation] several times.

In the eyes of others, this is almost a big joke.

Probably because Kumagai Motonao himself knew that it was a big shame, so he didn't dare to go back to see Yoshikawa Motoharu.

However, after he met with a hemp rope in Qingye Village, he unexpectedly got a good news.

The enemy's general, Ke'er Caizang has become a fish that has slipped through the net, and now is a good opportunity to capture him.

So Kumagai-sama calculated it in his heart......

Ke'er is hidden? I heard that he is the confidant and favorite general of the wise Kogoro, he is much more important than that Yamazaki Nagatoku, if he is captured and dedicated to his uncle and the Maori general, then wouldn't I be able to ......

It's a great way to atone for your sins.

If it were someone else who had [Jianghu experience], he would definitely not do it.

Are you kidding?! It's not proper to rob someone else's character.

However, this young master Kumagai doesn't have any concept of rules and regulations, and now he just wants to quickly hide Ke'er and catch it, and then he can get a chance to be forgiven from Yoshikawa Motoharu and Mori Terumoto.

He didn't even notice that a pair of murderous eyes were staring at him.
