"Hahaha, this is it! This is it! A child danced nervously in front of the river, and a group of people knelt behind him, looking at each other for unknown reasons.

This is located on the shore of the Ota River in Numata County, Aki Province "It's a pity, I don't have a mobile phone, otherwise I would have taken a picture and left a souvenir." Hosokawa muttered to himself.

"Lord, you scared the mother and son." Honda Masanobu cautiously reminded.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm just touching the scene." Hosokawa Senmaru turned around and said politely to the mother and son. The mother and son were rescued when they were traveling to Bingo Country and happened to meet a group of gangsters who were chasing and killing them. The mother's name is Ah Yuan, and the toddler who looks like a two-year-old is called Sun Shiro.

"Don't dare, don't dare. The villain also wants to thank Yagata for taking care of him along the way. Ah Yuan hurriedly gave a salute, through the contact in the past few days, she already knew that the amiable young man in front of her was extremely noble.

"According to the ninja detectives, the Mori family and the Ouchi family are fighting together on Itsukushima. All the ships had been called up, the river had been blocked, and it seemed that they were going to visit the Maori family and ask for a way. Hosokawa Senchimaru looked up into the distance, ten miles away, was Kusatsu Castle, where the Maori army was stationed. Cher, Hocho, Yahachiro, Ushichiyo, Bungoro, Mamoru Izu. Come with me to Kusatsu Castle, and the others will be stationed on the spot, and when the family will borrow a boat from the Mori Right Horse Head and come back, we will sail to the Seto Inland Sea. ”

"Yes!" When the retainers arrived, they gathered their luggage and put it away, resting on the spot with their backs to the Ota River, and two ninjas were arranged on each of the other three sides, one of the horses was in charge of guarding, and the remaining four ninjas escorted Hosokawa Senomaru to Kusatsu Castle.

"It seems that the scale of this joint battle is not small, if only I could go and watch the battle." It was the second day after Hosokawa Senmaru left, and the long wait made the little guys idle and get together to chat and fart.

"Nabe Nosuke, I think you want to hurry up and go to the battlefield, hahaha." Kamemaru and Nabenosuke were born in the same year, and they have the strongest relationship.

"Look! It's another group of peasant soldiers who went to war, but this costume is really weird, wild knives, plain guns, and naginata, why are the weapons so miscellaneous? Fan pointed to a group of people 200 meters away, these people were actually local people, about thirty people, who were preparing to go to Kusatsu Castle to participate in the joint battle.

When the group saw the samurai of the Hosokawa family resting on the shore, they came over and asked if they had come to participate in the Battle of Itsukushima. The two ninjas on guard stopped them 50 meters away, and the Hattori Hattori, who was in charge of guarding the area, stepped forward to talk to the person led by the other party.

I learned that it wasn't from the Mori family, but what was the Hosokawa family who came out to travel? A group of mountain village men had never heard of the daimyo of the Hosokawa family at all, and looked curiously at the group of people 50 meters behind Hattori Hoshomasa, most of whom were children.

"Kamemaru, how much money do you have there? Lend me some and I'll get ready for a different spear. Nabe nosuke yelled as he put his arms around Kamemaru's neck.

"Huh? Don't you have a gun? Why do you want to change it? "Kamemaru is very puzzled, you must know that their equipment is distributed by the lord, and they don't need to pay for it themselves.

Nabe Nosuke used the other short gun in his hand, pouted and said, "Oh, you said this, it's too light, don't take advantage of it, I want to change it myself." ”

"Well, I don't even know how much money I have. Guifeng Maru, you can help me take a look. "These little guys have been following Hosokawa Smart Pill since they were children, and they usually don't have to worry about eating and drinking, although they all have a good fortune, but they usually don't have any place to use money, so they are all stored in the Finance Department (invented by Hosokawa Smart Pill), and they are directed by the little surname Pen Head Niu Chiyo.

Since Ushichiyo followed the lord to Kusatsu Castle, it was temporarily kept by Katsu Feng Maru, who was proficient in commercial law, only to see Gui Feng Maru laboriously open a large wooden box, leaking a whole box full of glittering gold judgments, as well as a booklet. The booklet contains detailed records of money deposits and withdrawals, so that even if the financial director is not there, others will know exactly where the money is going.

Gui Fengmaru flipped through the booklet and said, "Hmm...... Kamemaru, you still have 4 runs and 700 texts. ”

"What about me? What about me? Check mine. "Me too, me too." "Take a look." No matter what it is, children love to compare, and when they hear how much money they have, they have to check it themselves.

Just as they were talking, a scream broke their play. Seeing the direction from which the voice came, Hattori Hosho was covering his shoulders, blood flowing from his fingers, and he was staggering over, shouting as he ran: "Enemy attack!" Uh, enemy attack! Ahem. And the two ninjas behind him were desperately resisting the swarming crowd of countrymen.

Seeing this, the samurai of the Hosokawa family hurriedly drew his sword and stepped forward to respond, and the other two guards Hattori and Hattori Hoshitoshi found that the situation was not right, and hurriedly led the ninja from a distance.

"Ahh "Ugh!" The two ninjas at the back of the palace were quickly cut to the ground, and there was no way to stop them, and the group of people quickly surrounded them in a fan shape.

Toshimasa Honda, Sadashi Honda, Nobunobu Oura, Shigeyoshi Oto, and Nanaemon Kagawa stepped forward to pick up the injured Hattori Homasa, but they were surrounded by more than a dozen people from the other side at once.

The rest of the people divided into more than a dozen people to block Hattori Homoto, Hojun and others who came to the rescue, and the rest pounced on the frightened little lambs like wolves.

Mamoru Mikoda Hizen and Hikogoro Nagasaka tried desperately to hold off the four men, but seven or eight still broke through the line and rushed towards the scattered children.

Ah Yuan, who was the closest, hurriedly protected Sun Shiro tightly under him, and the people passing by turned a blind eye to her, probably wanting to stay ooxx in the end. And Daizo Taifu Juro grabbed Fujitaro next to him in horror, turned around and forcibly crossed the river and escaped.

Kibei took the young Toyomatsu Maru, Miyamori Maru, Yasutake Maru, Kamemaru, and Fan to the downstream area to find Hidetsuna Umiizumi, who was meditating for enlightenment. The elder Kumanosuke, Inokosuke, Sakinosuke and others each held weapons behind the palace, but Yasutakemaru clutched the money box and didn't leave, and the others had to hurry to carry the big box, and not far after running out, they were caught up by the vicious countrymen.

The children hurriedly put down the boxes, each holding a small knife, and confronting the enemy with a small short spear. "Hah!" The young Nabenosuke didn't evacuate with the Kibei and them, but suddenly shouted, and even attacked with a small short gun, and Minjimaru hurriedly followed closely behind Nabenosuke to prevent mistakes. Older children such as Chiyo Sachiyo and Kumanosuke also went to pick them up, and the younger ones were guarded by the money box with Yasutakemaru, looking at the brothers and friends who were fighting to the death in front of them.
