Hearing the words of Jinchuan Shengzong, Jin Shangshengbei's eyes flickered, and the right hand that grabbed the horsewhip tightened unconsciously, "Sure enough, as the lord expected, there are really spies within the family!" ”

"Spies?" Tsugawa Shengzong couldn't help but let out an exclamation, and then suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked in a low voice, "There are actually spies in this family?" ”

"It's not so much a spy, it's better to say that someone has a relationship with other forces. I don't know who it is, but I don't think it's a general person who can understand our actions. Kim Mori said with a worried face, "I hope this mission to the Tsugawa family can go smoothly......"

......

A day later, Jin Shang Shengbei and his party had already traveled to the vicinity of Numankan Castle in Xiongsheng County. This is already the hinterland of the Tsugawa family, and nothing happened along the way, and Jin Shang Shengbei and Tsukawa Shengzong gradually relaxed.

"Looks like I'm too careful." Tsugawa Shengzong breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly.

After Tsukawa Shengzong finished speaking, Jin Shang Shengbei shook his head, "You don't have much heart, we are really in trouble." ”

"Uh-huh???"

Just when Tsugawa Shengzong looked puzzled, Jin Shang Shengbei had already pulled out the sword at his waist, and then said loudly, "Everyone is on alert, ready to fight!" ”

"Brush, brush!" Although they didn't know why Jin Shang Shengbei suddenly looked like he was facing a great enemy, the warriors of the Jin Shang family still obeyed Jin Shang Shengbei's order, drew the sword at his waist, and looked around vigilantly.

"Boom!"

"Now that you've found out, you can die! Do it! Suddenly, forty or fifty people jumped out of the bushes on both sides of the path, led by a man with a black blindfold, licked his lips and looked at Jin Shang Shengbei and the others and said loudly.

"Damn! Protect the Lord! Tsugawa Morimune hurriedly rode his horse to Jin Shang Shengbei's side, and several quick reaction Jin Shang family warriors around him also hurriedly moved closer to Jin Shang Shengbei's side.

"Who are you! We are the samurai of the Ashina family, so get out of the way, or the consequences will not be something you can bear! A warrior of the Kinjo family yelled at the masked man.

"Ashina? I'm so scared! The eyemask man said to the person next to him with an exaggerated face, and then said with a gloomy face, "Don't say that you are the samurai of the Ashina family, even if it is a member of the Tsugawa family, we will kill it!" ”

"No need to talk nonsense, you're all going to die here today, kill!" The blindfolded man waved his big hand, and the people around him, who had long been unable to hold it, suddenly rushed towards Jin Shangsheng Bei with a sword in hand.

"Sabei and Yoroku, protect the lord!" Tsugawa Morimune yelled at the two samurai beside him, and then rushed his horse towards the masked man. The other more than a dozen warriors of the Kanjo family also blocked the people rushing out on both sides of the road, and the scene was very chaotic.

Kiyono Matabei, Saito Matagoro, Koarai Kiyozaemon, Inao Shiro Saemon, Inao Goro Saemon, Ozawa Daizo Daisuke, Ozawa Osashi and others are the retainers of Kanejo Moribei this time, although they were caught off guard by the blindfold man who suddenly rushed out, but as a samurai of the Kanoe family, he could only kill the enemy desperately at this time.

Jin Shang Shengbei rode a war horse, although he was surrounded by his retainers, but he was the most anxious person.

"Sabei and Liu, you are also in charge, and the family doesn't need protection for the time being!" Jin Shangsheng Bei held the sword in his hand and pretended to be calm.

Tsuchiya Sabei and Hasegawa Yoroku chose to ignore Kanegawa Moribei's words after hearing them, and unlike Tsugawa Morimune and Kiyono Matabei and others, the two of them are the banner of Kanegami Moribei, and naturally the most important thing is to protect Kanagami Moribei's safety. Besides, even if the two of them went up to fight, it didn't have much effect, and there seemed to be too many enemies.

There were twenty-three people in Jin Shang Shengbei's party, including Tsugawa Morimune's daughter Ah Xiu and two maids. That is to say, even if Jin Shang Shengbei is included, there are only 20 people, and just now Jin Shang Shengbei immediately roughly estimated the enemies who surrounded and killed him, not to mention forty or fifty people, almost twice as many enemies as himself.

And it is not certain whether there are other enemies hiding in the shadows besides those who have already been killed.

Seeing that Tsuchiya Sabei and Hasegawa Yoroku were unmoved, Kanami Moribei also shook his head helplessly, and then continued, "As a samurai, my death has long been put aside. Everyone is struggling to kill the enemy, how can I be allowed to stay out of it? ”

"Sabei and Yoroku, kill with me!"

"Drink!" Jin Shangsheng kicked the horse's belly, and then rushed forward like an arrow from the string. Tsuchiya Sabei and Hasegawa Yoroku didn't care about anything else at this time, and hurriedly followed behind Kanagami Mori with the intention of protecting Kanagami Moribei's safety.

Seeing Jin Shang Shengbei suddenly rushing up, the blindfolded man standing behind suddenly grinned, "Haha, I'm not afraid of death!" Shoot the arrows! ”

As soon as the blindfolded man's voice fell, more than a dozen men holding Maruki bows suddenly stood out in the bushes behind him, "Brush, brush, brush!" ”

A dense burst of arrows shot at Jin Shang Shengbei on the horse, Jin Shang Sheng Bei obviously did not expect that there were archers on the opposite side, so he could only wave the Tai Dao in his hand to block. However, no matter how much Jin Shang Shengbei blocked, he couldn't block the more than ten arrows that were fired at the same time.

And as a messenger, of course, it is impossible for Jin Shang Shengbei to wear combat equipment, and Jin Shang Shengbei and his party at this time are wearing civilian clothes. Lacking adequate protection, Jin Shangsheng was defenseless in front of the arrows, and suddenly the situation began to change.

"Bastard!" Looking at the bloodied left arm, Kanami Shengbei gritted his teeth, then swung his knife to cut off the arrow that pierced his right arm, and then shouted, "Not far ahead is Numanodate Castle, everyone follow me to kill it, there is a patrol of the Tsugawa family over there, as long as you can rush out, it will be safe!" ”

There were no archers before, and Jin Shang Shengbei and the others might be able to repel these people. Although Jin Shang Shengbei and the others were at a disadvantage in numbers, after all, they were all samurai, and they could still win against forty or fifty bandit mobs.

But now that there are archers on the other side, this makes Jin Shangsheng Bei feel uncertain.

Hearing Jin Shang Shengbei's words, the warriors of the Jin Shang family, who were fighting to the death in front, did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly moved closer to Jin Shang Shengbei, preparing to start breaking through.

Tsugawa Morimune found a gap and came to an ox cart in the middle of the line, where Ah Xiu and the two maids were hugging and trembling. When had the three weak women seen such a bloody picture, they panicked at the beginning of the battle. Hearing the shouts of killing from outside, Ah Xiu and the two maids looked helpless and at a loss.

"Ah Xiu, are you okay?" Lifting the curtain of the ox cart, Tsugawa Morimune asked with a concerned expression.

Seeing that Tsugawa Shengzong was coming, Ah Xiu seemed to have found the backbone, and was about to throw himself into Tsukawa Shengzong's arms and cry, when Ah Xiu suddenly pointed to the back of Tsukawa Shengzong with a disgraced face, and said with a panicked face, "Father, be careful behind you!" ”
