"Spies?"

"I'm not a spy down there!" Looking at Sasaki Mataro who was looking at him vigilantly, Kanami Shengbei said eagerly.

Sasaki Mataro looked at Kanami Moribi scrutinically, and then said, "Sasaki Mataro is a retainer of the Tsukawa family, known as the Okuba Musou Northern Country without a sword, and I have never heard that there will be an envoy from the Ashina family in the near future, do you dare to say that it is not a spy?" ”

Hearing Sasaki Mataro's words, Jin Shang Shengbei was first overjoyed, the person in front of him turned out to be a retainer of the Tsugawa family, so he could be said to be out of danger. But I was stunned again, listening to Sasaki Mataro's tone, it seemed that he was the general of the Tsugawa family, but why had I never heard of the name Sasaki Mataro? Am I lonely?

"It turns out that Your Excellency is actually a retainer of the Tsugawa family, what a disrespect!" Jin Shang Shengbei first complimented Sasaki Mataro with a look of surprise, and then said the doubts in his heart, "Dare to ask Lord Sasaki what his position is in the Tsugawa family, please forgive me for being lonely and unheard." "The matter of his own mission to the Tsugawa family has already been reported by the people of the Tsugawa family to Ueno Castle, if Sasaki Mataro is really a minister of the Tsugawa family, he shouldn't know about it? This is also where Jin Shangsheng is puzzled.

Hearing Kanejo's words, Sasaki Mataro thought it was Kanagami Morita who was doubting his identity, and suddenly said angrily, "What? Do you think I'm a retainer of the Tsugawa family who is pretending to be? ”

"Humph! I, Sasaki Mataro, am the number one warrior of the Tsugawa family, and my lord has praised me many times in front of people! I am now in charge of the head of the family, and I am the leader of the fifth squadron of the Ueno Castle garrison ashigaru! It's ridiculous that you haven't even heard my name! As he spoke, Sasaki Mataro raised his mouth and looked at the sky, and then cast a disdainful look at Kanami Shengbei.

Jin Shang Shengbei suddenly felt like a dog!

MMP has been engaged for a long time, and it turned out to be just a light head of the Tsugawa family, so I wonder I have to know that I went to the Tsugawa family. Obviously, Kanami Moribei directly ignored the boastful words of the first samurai of the Tsugawa family and Okuwa Musou in the mouth of Sasaki Mataro. Because in this way, only the kind of pretentious low-level samurai likes to talk about it often, and this Sasaki Mataro is very suitable for his identity.

Thinking of this, Jin Shang Shengbei was speechless for a while, if it weren't for Sasaki Mataro who had just saved his life, Jin Shang Shengbei didn't even want to deal with such a low-level samurai, it was really a loss of identity!

"In the name of the lord of the family, I sent you as an envoy, and I originally received the news that Tsugawa Hall was in Yamagata Castle, so I went to Yamagata Castle first. However, when he arrived at Yamagata Castle, he learned that Tsugawaden had returned to Ueno Castle, so he traveled all the way to Ueno Castle. After arriving here, I was attacked by this group of unknown people, and if it hadn't been for the timely arrival of Lord Sasaki, I'm afraid I would have been in a different place! Speaking of what happened just now, Jin Shang Shengbei still had lingering palpitations.

"That's right!" Suddenly, Jin Shang Shengbei seemed to suddenly remember something, and then said loudly, "There are also retainers from my family over there, and I hope that Lord Sasaki will come to the rescue, so I am very grateful!" ”

"Oh? Are there even bandits? Sasaki Mataro, who didn't kill just now, was overjoyed when he heard Kanami Mori say that there were bandits in front of him, and then continued, "Can you still move?" If you can move, follow me and let you see how powerful I am Okuba Musou Northern Knife to take Sasaki Mataro! ”

Although "........." has to admit that Sasaki Mataro's martial arts are really good, otherwise it would be impossible to easily kill several bandits, but Kanami Shengbei really can't stand Sasaki Mataro's way of speaking!

After struggling to stand up, and after helping Hasegawa and Rokuya, who were loyal to him, to his side, the two of them supported each other and followed behind Sasaki Mataro.

Sasaki Mataro looked back at the two of them who were moving slowly like turtles, and suddenly became anxious, "Regardless of you, I'll go first!" After saying that, Sasaki Mataro kicked the horse's belly, and the whip in his hand swung heavily, and the war horse borrowed from the Ueno Castle Ranch under his crotch rushed out quickly.

.......

Although Jin Shang Shengbei rushed out, the samurai of the Jin Shang family who accompanied him did not have such good luck. At this time, there were only four or five of the original more than ten Kanoe samurai who could stand and continue to fight, and Tsugawa Morimune and Ozawa Kamejiro relied on each other to wave the sword in their hands that was already full of gaps, but it was already a strong crossbow wood.

Ah Xiu on the side has already been selectively ignored by the bandits, and when it comes to this part, both sides have suffered heavy casualties, and at this time, there is only hatred left in the eyes of the people on both sides.

The samurai of the Kinjo family have a good relationship with each other, and seeing that their friends who were talking and laughing together not long ago died like this, the samurai of the Kinjo clan were furious in their hearts. And what about the bandits on the side? So people on both sides can be said to have gone all out!

Among the people of Rigami and his party, the best martial artist was Daisuke Ozawa, followed by Kiyono Matabei and Saito Matagoro, and Tsugawa Morimune was almost last. However, after fighting for so long, even Daisuke Ozawa, the strongest martial artist, no longer has much strength, but the bandits are still attacking very quickly because of their numerical advantage.

After Ozawa Daisuke eliminated the last bandit in front of him, he suddenly turned around, and then stared at a tall thief who was trying to sneak attack, and the sword in his hand was tightly gripped, looking like he was facing a great enemy.

Ozawa Daizo Daisuke also had a word of suffering, and just when he made the last slash, his right hand seemed to be withdrawn.

The tall bandit wanted to sneak up on Daisuke Ozawa when he had his back to him, but it seemed that the other party noticed the abnormality. Seeing that the tall bandit wanted to give up when Ozawa Daisuke turned around, but looking at Ozawa Daizo Daisuke, who had not attacked for a long time, the tall bandit suddenly looked at Ozawa Daisuke Daisuke, who was stagnant in front of him, with great interest, licked his lips and said tentatively, "Eh! You don't think you're running out of energy! Ha ha! ”

For the taunting and provocation of the tall bandit, Ozawa Daizo Daisuke didn't care, he knew that the tall bandit was distracting him, and then took advantage of the situation to kill himself with one blow, so Ozawa Daisuke endured the soreness and throbbing pain in his right arm, and looked directly at the tall bandit with a pair of tiger eyes.

Daisuke Ozawa Daizo is also dragging his feet, hoping to scare the bandit in front of him and make his right arm recover a little, otherwise he will definitely not be an opponent in his current state.

"Kill!" It is obvious that the tall bandit is not the kind of person who can calm down, and when he saw that Ozawa Daizo Daisuke just didn't cut at him, he immediately decided that Ozawa Daizo Daisuke had no strength. In this case, of course, the tall bandit couldn't give Daisuke Ozawa a chance to breathe, so he hurriedly rushed over.

"Ahh Daisuke Ozawa, whose right arm was drawn, was powerless to fight back at all, so he could only move his body in front of him to avoid the attack of the tall bandits, but after all, he was unable to move, and he was still cut in the arm.

After failing to strike, the tall thief was not discouraged, but even more happy. Although his own knife was dodged by Ozawa Daizo Daisuke, but judging from Ozawa Daizo Daisuke's reaction just now, it is true that there is no strength left to continue to fight again, in this case, then can't he do whatever he wants?

At the same time, Sasaki Mataro stopped his horse in the dense forest, looked ahead with a solemn expression, and muttered in a low tone, "Oops........."
