Chapter 67: Danger lurks

Late at night, the person who was supposed to rest was awakened by Guo Jia's summons. Everyone washed up and got dressed and came to the council hall.

The scenery here is dim, and the people who come here are stunned by the scene in the council hall, and the outer circle is full of members who are difficult to know as yin, and the first one is Guo Jiatuo's cheeks in a fake sleep. And next to him was a sturdy man, and in front of him was a man who was escorted by Takigawa Kazuyi, and it was even more surprising to see that he didn't even have clothes on him. A person who seems to be powerless still needs to be escorted by Takigawa Kazuyi himself, so let others treat him differently.

It didn't take long for several of Guo Jia's retainers to gather in the council hall, and the dim candlelight could not dispel all the darkness, especially the members of the Yin Group around him. Each of the retainers took a weapon and went into combat mode. They didn't know why Guo Jia would convene him, but they knew that Guo Jia must have something important to discuss.

"Everyone present knows more or less about my father's personal guards, and this one is one of the personal guards who participated in the defense of Morimo Castle. Sasaki, come on. Guo Jia gave him the right to speak.

"Gentlemen, my name is Sasaki Kato, and he is the captain of Nobuhide-sama's banner team, and now he is a dead man." The atmosphere here was really uncomfortable, and Sasaki had to use his somewhat witty tone to ease it a bit.

"Five months ago, Toe attacked Owari Morisue Castle for the first time, and Oda Nobuhide led about 4,000 troops and our personal guards for a one-day battle to defend Morisue Castle. In the end, it was a great defeat, and the 548 members of the pro-guard army were killed by the troops of Yuanjiang State, but I was the only one who survived. Sasaki spoke in a low tone, with tears in his eyes, and his hands clutched his shirt tightly.

"How did you survive?" Shibata Katsuie knew this person, and the reputation of the Oda Guardian Banner was once as loud as that of a military battle.

"At that time, we used wood and stones, red oil and other things to catch the besieging soldiers off guard, but it still didn't help. There were too many people, and I was hit by an arrow in my left shoulder at that time, because I didn't want to affect the follow-up battle, and I forcibly pulled out the arrow, and then I fainted. As he spoke, Sasaki exposed his left shoulder, and a hideous scar appeared on him so suddenly.

"Later, hey, I also escaped by pretending to be dead on the ground to survive. Ladies and gentlemen! I know I'm going against the spirit of bushido, but what can I do? Watching my comrades-in-arms and friends die like this one by one, what can I do? Just as he said that he was a deserter, several generals instantly became angry and ready to punish this shameless person, and then heard him tell and thought about it in his heart, yes, he really didn't have anything to do in any environment, and he almost died because of excessive blood loss.

"Let him continue." Seeing this scene, Guo Jia's heart was also tumbling.

"After the invaders occupied the end of the forest, they began to clean up the battlefield, and there was inevitably a living mouth, they made up a knife on each of my companions, I thought they would die unjustly like this, but I didn't expect them to retreat, it sounds like Lord Guo Jia led the troops over."

It sounds like this, yes, Guo Jia did come to Naguye quickly after receiving the news, and after joining the army halfway, he rushed to the front line and disgusted the defenders of the end of the forest.

"I took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, bandaged myself briefly, and then left Morimo Castle. During this time, I learned something from a soldier in Yuanjiang that I couldn't think of! The more Sasaki spoke, the more angry he became, and he slammed his fist on the ground.

"Just because Lord Nobuhide has shaken the position of some powerful people, they will come and kill us!" As he spoke, Sasaki realized that he was talking about the result, not the process, so he paused and began to tell in detail about what he had experienced.

"I first came out of the secret passage of Morimo Castle, and I was going to go to Nakono Castle, but I met a caravan on the way, and I wanted to stop by them to say hello, but who knew that they picked up a knife and wanted to kill me as soon as I introduced them, with a pure Kyoto accent!" Sasaki rolled up his leg that had been slashed with a knife and showed it to everyone.

"Helpless two fists are invincible to four hands, I had to flee the way, two pursuers chased me during the accidentally caught by them and cut this leg, I am the captain of the flag team, take advantage of their unpreparedness to take down the weapon and kill the two!" Sasaki said with a murderous intent, and in an instant, a yin ninja put the knife on his neck.

"There's a loophole!" Guo Jia didn't stop the ninja's behavior, but turned his head to look at Sasaki.

Encounter a caravan? Kyoto accent? Someone slashed in a chase and then killed two more? It's not round!

"Sasaki, I've checked your information, and there is indeed such a person, but what you said just now is full of loopholes, and none of it is true." Guo Jia shook his head and questioned the man in front of him.

He thought of something, maybe the whole thing was a game. First of all, there was an inner ghost in the yin mass, and then many problems appeared so suddenly. There are too many loopholes, and the whole thing seems to be arranged, waiting for Guo Jia to drill in.

And what Sasaki said is full of loopholes, as a soldier and the strongest pro-guard captain level of Oda Nobuhide, they must have their own pride, it's all nonsense to say that they were stunned and escaped, and what caravan robbers they encountered afterwards are all nonsense! What other pursuers cut their legs and counter-kill the pursuers, it's all nonsense!

Even if you know what about the secret passage of the end of the forest, when the fire group recaptures the end of the forest, this secret passage will be exposed in the eyes of everyone.

"You're lying." Guo Jia shook his head and stared at Sasaki, trying to see some flaws. But the look of disbelief in Sasaki's eyes couldn't say anything.

"Don't talk about the front, just talk about the things in the back. You said there was a caravan with a Kyoto accent that was going to kill you when they heard who you were, right? Then send two pursuers to kill you, right? Guo Jia said slowly, if his guess was correct, it was likely that Owari was already in big trouble.

"That's right! How could I lie to you! Sasaki said affirmatively, without the slightest hesitation.

"Your wound, the left shoulder is indeed an arrow wound, a divergent wound, and it can't heal neatly after being forcibly pulled out, this is true. But the injury on your foot is fake. ”

"No, my lord, this is also true, you see, it is indeed a knife wound." Just as Sasaki was about to show Guo Jia, the ninja next to him stopped him again.

"I didn't say the knife wound was fake, I meant that the wound on your foot and neck tendon wasn't cut by someone." Just as Guo Jia said this, everyone's brows furrowed.

That's right, the wound appeared on the tendon where Sasaki's foot and leg connect, about three inches long and half an inch wide, and only one inch deep! This wound just broke his foot, but it didn't break his entire foot, and the most important thing is that if a soldier pursues him with a knife, he must have slashed at the former's back from top to bottom. Even if the former falls and the whole person is in a flat state, then why use the method of cutting the hamstrings instead of stabbing him directly in the back and killing him? This is the first doubt.

Then, the wound healing hole on Sasaki's leg was jagged, and the wound was sawn not by someone but by someone! Moreover, it is recorded in the books of the ancient wild city that there is such a criminal law used to extract confessions is to use a knife to saw the legs! So this Sasaki must have been captured, or a bitter ploy! This is the second doubt!

And on these two suspicions, tell Guo Jia that the person in front of him can't be trusted.

"Say, the bitter meat trick is still captured?" Guo Jia's eyes narrowed slightly, and he saw a trace of unnaturalness in Sasaki from what he said just now.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it. Baidi He Yu, you can talk about it. Who this person is. To be honest, Guo Jia didn't find out Sasaki's identity, and now he can only rely on the person in front of him who knows the most things to tell him the truth of the matter.

"Guo Jia, Guo Jia, it turns out that you are not a fool! I don't know what the master thinks, he wants to come to conflict with you. Suddenly, He Yu laughed.

"Who is Sasaki? He is who he is. It's just that he doesn't have the surname Kato. Alas, let's start from the beginning, I don't know if this information of mine can be exchanged for my life. Baidi He Yu shook his head, he didn't have any panic from just now, as if he was watching a good show.

"Yuanjiang's attack on Owari is to put it bluntly, it is your guardian's one-handed operation, I didn't expect it, stealing chickens and rice, losing my wife and breaking my soldiers. Imagawa Yoshimoto's idiot actually failed, no, it should be said that Owari is still a little bit powerful. After Oda Nobuhide came to power, he raised a large army and caused a campaign to expand the land, causing the people's hearts to gradually move closer to him, and his growing power affected the authority of the Spo clan, so of course they had to design for Oda Nobuhide to step down. "Who is this Spooth? They are the lineage of Emperor Kiyokawa of the island nation and the guardians of Owari.

"After the defeat of Toe, have you seen any of the Spo clan in Owari? No, I've seen you, I just talked to you. As soon as the words fell, the entire council hall focused on Sasaki's body, Sasaki is Sasaki, but his surname is not Kato! So from the mouth of He Yu in the hundred places, he is a member of the Spoo clan?

At the same time, Sasaki's face also showed shock, he didn't expect that he would be exposed so quickly, and he would still be betrayed by his own people!

"Go on." Guo Jia fixed his mind and motioned to Baidi He Yu to continue.

"After the Battle of Enoe, the Shogunate Emperor set his sights on you, and it's okay that there's no big problem, but you see. Only three or four months after the war, the speed of Owari's development made everyone stunned! Baidi He Yu smiled, he knew that his life would definitely be saved if he said the next sentence.

"The emperor is very good, so why should he be threatened by others? Guo Jia, right? After He Yu finished speaking, he began to laugh.

"Humph! So, who is targeting our Owari to be destroyed wholeheartedly? "Come to think of it, the emperor is carefree now, he eats and dresses well every day, why should someone threaten to live that kind of puppet life. Owari is developing too fast, and one day he will have enough strength to take the shogunate into his hands, and if he doesn't get rid of this hateful guy as soon as possible, sooner or later the emperor will no longer have power!

"I see, it looks like our Owari is quite dangerous right now." Guo Jia smiled, he also had the intention of dominating the island country and ending the troubled times, but he didn't expect that the lord of the island country would stop him like this.

"It's getting more and more interesting." Under the shocked gaze of everyone, Guo Jia laughed heartily.

Emperor? I was going to go to Luo to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but now it seems that it is not necessary!
