"Huh?" I turned around to look for the unfamiliar voice, but it was another "prisoner" who spoke. What made me even more strange was that none of the two of them showed surprise, but just stared at him with solemn expressions. I saw him slowly stretch out his hands and press them against the wall above his head, and sat up in an extremely "weird" posture.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Goemon!" Unexpectedly, he greeted him first, and it turned out to be "the big thief Ishikawa". "It's been so long, why haven't you grown at all?" He said with a smile, but it felt like a poisonous snake spitting out letters.

"I said why did you feel so cold as soon as you came in! It turned out to be you, Bantaro Naganobu! Ishikawa Goemon stared at him viciously, his expression like that of a dog that had seen a cat.

"Are you and your men still wandering around, stealing chickens and dogs? Tsk, tsk, tsk...... It's really pitiful! The companion shook his head and sighed, putting on a "compassionate" look.

"Humph! How did you want to jump out of the rat hole? Ishikawa Goemon said disdainfully, "I thought you would never dare to see anyone?" ”

"Hey! It's really uncultivated......" Ban Changxin rolled his eyes and pouted. "No wonder Hyakchi Tanba kicked you out of Iga Valley!"

"You bastard!!" Ishikawa Goemon jumped up as if he had been stepped on by his tail, and was immediately pressed back by Shimakatsu.

I sat on the side and watched the "farce" with interest. I've heard that the ninjas of Koga-ryu and Iga-ryu have a lot of grievances, and today it seems that this is indeed the case. And no wonder! The two families are so close that it is impossible not to have "business" conflicts, and this meaning is faintly brought out from the "communication" of these two people. This person is more in line with my impression of the image of a ninja, about 1.5 meters tall; Some pale complexions; There are no features, just a pair of slender eyes that look like snakes. Between the words of both sides, I could tell that this companion was the head of a certain family of Kogaryu, but I don't know how he ended up in my cell!

"Two, two! Please exercise some restraint! "I've heard almost everything I can know, and I can only ask what I can't hear." How did you end up here? I asked the companion letter.

"On that ......," he said, shrugging his shoulders, "should you inquire with the guards here first?" ”

"Makes sense!" I turned my head and winked at Keiji Maeda.

"Who's on duty at the door? All come in! He yelled outside. Then two heavily armed soldiers walked in.

"When did you get started?" Keiji Maeda asked aloud.

"Returning to your lordship! We had just started at noon. The two of them bowed in unison and replied.

"Did the people from the previous class tell you anything?" Keiji Maeda continued to ask.

"That's all it ......," a soldier pointed to Ishikawa Goemon. This man in shackles is a felon, and must be kept under strict guard! ”

"Nothing else?" Keiji Maeda still doesn't give up.

"No more!" The two soldiers answered cleanly.

"Didn't I give you any explanation about this person?" Seeing that there was no reason, I had to point to the long-term letter and ask directly.

"Nope!" They also made doubts. "I didn't explain it in the last shift, and we saw that he didn't have a lock, so we thought he was just an insignificant thief!"

"Alright, you guys get out!" I waved them away.

"These soldiers should really be trained!" Keiji Maeda said with a wistful expression. "This is a military fortress, one doesn't care about security, and the other is no castle town, where are the thieves?"

"You can't blame them all!" The companion said calmly. "Most of the soldiers here are ordinary ashigaru rather than jailers, and they usually have little experience in managing prisons and prisoners! The soldiers believed that even if the people in the previous shift did not confess, they must be prisoners in the prison, and they needed to worry about the rescue of people from outside, not whether there were more people inside. The main thing is that there is a blind spot in the mind: they think that no one, especially a person with ulterior motives, will go to the cell on their own! In this kind of purely military fortress, when there are no prisoners, even if the guards are arranged, it is no different from none! The main thing is to catch up with an emergency, and in general, prisons are not searched! ”

"Aren't you afraid of catching up with a more real soldier and talking to the next class, won't that make the fake come true?" I asked curiously.

"Don't be afraid!" The companion letter said without hesitation: "If it were, what would you say?" What about things you don't know at all? You will think that the last class forgot to explain and you didn't ask, then it's better to have more than one thing is better than one less! ”

"That's right...... "I'll have to admit it, because if it were me, I'd do the same." What is a man as clever as you doing in my little place? And it seems to be 'shallow'? It stands to reason that it shouldn't! ”

"It's not because of this 'half-'!" He glanced at Ishikawa Goemon contemptuously, and Ishikawa Goemon also glared at him angrily. "I was going to just rest here for a day and leave at midnight......" he shook his head, as if sorry for his luck. But just as I was about to leave, I caught this idiot 'lost the wind' and was caught by you, and I was stuck here! Originally, it was nothing, I thought you would interrogate him soon, and then I could just get away with it! But I just didn't expect you to be so calm, and you 'dried' for most of the day! In the end, instead of bringing him out, a large group of people flocked here! Ay! People are not as good as heaven! After that, he sighed again and again.

"What are you doing here with me? Will there be any big names who care about me? Seriously, anyone would feel awkward to have such an "uninvited guest" on their own territory.

"I'm just passing through!" He smiled at me in a "friendly" way. "At first, I just thought that this castle was remote and cramped, and it would be better to rest for a while! As for why I'm here......"

"If it comes to the principles of ninjas, you don't have to be embarrassed!" Seeing his hesitation, I hurriedly added.

"Actually, it's nothing!" He thought for a moment and said, "Although I can't name it, this time the employer has nothing to do with Oda and Saito, and he only occasionally took some interest in this war before hiring us!" Sometimes the daimyo are not easy, and they have to care about the affairs of distant places. ”

"Why did you jump out so quickly, instead of killing me by the way to make some extra blocks?" I couldn't help but ask curiously.

He looked me up and down and said, "Do you think I haven't thought about it?" ”
