Outside the Odawara Exit in the southern part of Edo Castle, there are many daimyo houses. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The Odawara Exit is the former name of Minami Sakurada Gate in the future.

The daimyo would reside here when they were on duty. However, when they are not on duty, these yashiki are usually inhabited by their families and samurai who are guarded by them on a daily basis.

As for the commotion in the southwestern part of the castle town, the samurai who guarded them could also hear it.

Now, the riots are slowly spreading from the west, gradually spreading to the south outside the Odawara Exit in the vicinity of the Daimyo Yashiki.

Faced with the fleeing crowd and the scattered crowd outside the yashiki, the samurai guards had to tighten their swords in case something happened to the yashiki they were guarding.

The fire is also spreading.

Edo Castle is known as a city of fires, but imagine the serious consequences of such riots and explosions.

The riots around Odawara Exit have changed from small to loud.

The ordinary people who had fled after their houses had been burned down in the west, many of the lower-ranking samurai who had taken refuge from Ichika, and many of the others who had fled to the Odawara Pass in the south as the fire spread.

Many panicked people even tried their best to force their way into the yashiki of these daimyos, hoping to be protected by the samurai.

Of course, the samurai who guarded the yashiki would not have allowed civilians to trespass into their master's house. So the warriors who guarded them ruthlessly blocked the civilians one by one.

The hot fire was mixed with the cries of the people, and chaos began to rise in the southern part of Edo Castle.

Wind Demon Ninja Ishimaru Shinuchi watched this scene from a high place and nodded.

"Now, the original purpose has been achieved~ I don't know what happened to Ah Ye...... It should be fine......

Ishimaru was worried about Aye, who was running errands on the other side, and began to prepare for his next move.

"I actually want to find a way to burn the Yashiki of the Fukushima family samurai and the Kuroda family samurai...... This Four Male Highness is really interesting...... It's not a small ......."

Ishimaru took out the letter that Hidemitsu had sent him from his body, looked through it carefully, and scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Ahh......h But since it's all done, let's do it to the end...... Although I don't like to do this kind of thing, Young Master Ishimaru......"

He stared at the daimyo yashiki not far away, smiled a little slyly, and then walked away.

……

……

Although the samurai tried desperately to prevent the people from escaping into their homes and the houses of their masters, the people who had nowhere to flee still tried to squeeze in one after another.

"Samurai-sama?! Why don't you let us go in and take refuge for a while?! ”

Many civilians wept.

"How can you civilians enter the mansion of our samurai?!! Get out of here!! ”

"Get out of here, get out of here!! Go aside! ”

"This is the residence of the daimyo and samurai!! Get out of here! Where to go!! ”

The samurai did not respond to the cries of the populace and continued to drive them away strongly.

"Didn't the samurai exist to protect us civilians?!! Why?!! ”

"We work hard every year to farm and trade! The money is in the hands of your samurai! Why don't you shelter us now?!! We just want to take refuge in for the time being!! ”

"It's just a temporary evacuation! We'll leave when the chaos is over!! Why is it so unreasonable?!! ”

"A samurai who is lazy!! Why don't you let us in!! ”

"We're going to go in and take refuge!!"

The neighborhood behind him was already on fire, and the desperate people began to fall into emotion.

Because of the samurai's tough and ruthless actions, their pent-up anger was unreservedly vented on the rank and file.

They began to yat at the samurai adults who bowed their heads to greet them when they walked and passed by, and some of them even had physical altercations with the samurai.

The scene was chaotic, and the people were excited and kept pouring over.

Ishimaru Shinnai watched the increasingly fierce conflict outside from the roof of the Fukushima family's roof, and smiled with the corners of his mouth hooked.

He immediately stealthily went to the house where his samurai lived on the outskirts of the Fukushima family's house.

These houses are occupied by samurai who are now standing by to prevent people from entering, and are close to the places where samurai and civilians clashed. Now the samurai who live inside have run out to block the people, so it is a state of no one.

Ishimaru poured oil on the roof of the house, threw torches on it, and quickly fled.

The wooden roof of the house was swallowed up in an instant by a fire that had been filled with oil. The houses of the samurai burned violently, and became the same as the sea of fire in the streets.

The samurai who were blocking the people immediately noticed the strangeness of their houses and were shocked.

"Adults! I don't know why the house suddenly burned! The villain is probably a tinder thrown in from the outside! ”

Several subordinates with faces blackened by fire and black smoke hurriedly ran over.

"Probably the mob threw it!"

"Don't worry so much, put out the fire quickly!! And hurry up and escort the adults' families to a safe place! ”

The samurai hurriedly ordered their men to hurry up and extinguish the fire.

Several young and vigorous samurai were very angry that their houses had been burned down by a group of inferior people, and with a loud shout, they drew their katana swords from their waists and slashed at the people.

A few innocent people walking nearby died at their hands for no apparent reason.

“…… What the! ”

The already incomparably angry emotions of the civilians were thoroughly enraged by these samurai. The people who have been oppressed by these samurai classes for many years have finally exploded!

With bloodshot eyes, they frantically lunged at the samurai. When the samurai saw that things had come to this point, they could only draw their katana and go on a killing spree.

In the streets outside the Odawara Exit, the battle between civilians and samurai is escalating, and the scene is horrific. The frenzied roars of the people, the shouts of the samurai, and the metallic sound of the clashing knives were mixed in, and it can be said that Edo Castle has never been in such a hellish scene since the Tokugawa family took charge.

"Oh no!! The house where the adult's family lived was also burned!! ”

Suddenly, a samurai stumbled out of the Fukushima family and reported in a panic to his superiors, who were fighting fiercely with the people.

In the frenzied fight just now, it seems that some civilians who were so angry that they lost their minds had rushed in and set fire to the Fukushima family's house.

But now the samurai can't manage that much.

"Quick! Fast! Stop it!! Send the young master and his wife out of here!! ”

Some of the samurai desperately escaped from the struggle with the people and rushed back to the lord's mansion to save their young lord and wife.

But for the chaos outside, they have no way to contain it.

Not only the Fukushima family's yashiki, but also many other famous yashiki were affected by the riots to some extent.

The flames soared into the sky, and the people roared.

Corpses were strewn all over the field, and cries were everywhere.

Finally, this place called Odawaraguchi, located in the southern part of Edo Castle, was completely plunged into this disaster that could be considered hell.
