Chapter 21: The Death of the Female Ninja
The two sides remain at a stalemate.
Seeing that the female ninja didn't intend to speak, I also knew that it would not be good to continue like this, since this was the case, I could only test it slowly step by step.
"I know that ninjas generally don't reveal the content of their missions easily, but I also know that ninjas have to do their best to complete tasks, and now if I pull this trigger, your head will be beaten to pieces by my iron cannon, and it will be impossible for you to complete the task given to you by your master!"
"Why should I tell you about my mission!" The female ninja looked at me coldly, her eyes were full of distrust, yes, who would believe a person with a gun to his head?
"Then we are in a stalemate here today, and when it is dawn, these people under the mountain will naturally find us!" I looked at the female ninja and sneered, this is also a temptation, to see if she is an accomplice of the gang under the mountain: "You know their methods!" ”
"You bastard!" The female ninja's eyes immediately radiated a gaze that longed to eat me.
"It turns out that you are not an accomplice of the Yamashita people!" I smiled softly, I was just guessing if this ninja should be all the way with Yamashita, and her reaction just now confirmed my thoughts even more. Because in her mind, I and the gang under the mountain should be in a group, as long as the stalemate until dawn, my accomplices will come and rescue me, that's why she is so excited, and even wants to eat me alive.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not an accomplice of those people at the bottom of the mountain!" I smiled and looked at the female ninja in front of me: "Who the hell are you?" What the hell are you doing here? If you tell the truth, I'll consider letting you go, and neither of us will interfere with anyone? ”
The woman's wonderful eyes flickered twice, as if she was thinking about how to face the situation in front of her, and even wanted to make up a reason to fool the past.
"Hey!" I put a spear on her chin: "I tell you, don't lie to me, if you have a lie, I will immediately send you to the mountain as a gift, anyway, uncle, I have nowhere to stay since I left Owari, just take you as a gift to join them!" ”
The female ninja's eyes, which were still dripping, immediately dimmed, and looking at her appearance, she should have been frightened by my words.
"How can you guarantee that you won't break your promise?" The female shinobi looked at me, as if she wanted to tell her purpose, but she was afraid that I would break my promise and sell her after she said everything.
"Do you have any other choice?" I raised the musket in my hand again, and I would normally swear a poisonous oath to reason or something, but now I should quickly put it out and talk about it.
The female ninja stared at me viciously, and now she can only choose to believe me in this situation, and as for the rest of the matter, it can only be decided by their Amaterasu.
"My name is Jing, I am one of the ninjas who were hired by the Maori family to protect the Maori princess, originally this time we accompanied the Maori princess to Mingguo has a very important mission, but on the way to the encounter with this group of pirates, these people simply ignore the existence of the Maori family's prestige, directly attacked our sea ship, not only kidnapped the princess, but also killed my companions, although I escaped by luck, but there is nowhere to go, these months in the Ming country I can only live in the broken temple, and then go out at night to steal some food. To survive to this day, I want to find these people, save the princess, and avenge my companions! After the female ninja finished speaking, her eyes immediately became vicious, and it seemed that the miserable life of these days and the hatred of killing her companions had made her hate these Japanese cowards to the core.
Ha, Maori home? If you know about the relationship between the Maori family and these remnants, you know why they are so upset with the Maori people.
In that year, Toyotomi Hideyoshi failed to invade the dynasty, was defeated by the army of the Ming Dynasty, died of depression, leaving orphans and widows behind, Tokugawa Ieyasu of Mikawa took the opportunity to seize power, and finally Ishida Mitsunari and Tokugawa Ieyasu of the Toyotomi family fought Sekigahara to decide the final Japanese king. At that time, more than 10,000 people of the Maori army who participated in Ishida were basically playing soy sauce on the side during the entire battle, and seeing the final defeat of Ishida, if the Maori army could actively participate in the war, the western army to which Ishida Mitsunari belonged would have been very likely to win, but as the general of the western army, Maori Terumoto, who shouted before the war that he was not wearing the same sky with Tokugawa, sat and watched the defeat of his own side. And it was in this battle that Ishida and most of the military forces loyal to Toyotomi were defeated by Tokugawa in one fell swoop, and Ishida Mitsumoto himself was captured and executed by Tokugawa. Since then, the Toyotomi family has been in a downward spiral, and many samurai loyal to Toyotomi have been stripped of their fiefs and become ronin. Therefore, in addition to the bitter lord Tokugawa, the samurai of the Toyotomi side hated the Maori family even more, and it seems that the princess of the Maori family will not be spared this time.
Looking at her appearance, she is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and I don't know what happened to the Sekigahara battle back then.
"Jing, do you mean that you are going to take back the princess and avenge your companion by your own strength?" I looked at the vengeful ninja and it seemed as if she was the only one who had come here, as the rest of her companions had been killed by the bandits.
"I'm living in the Ming Kingdom, just to find these people, I tracked them here last time when they were looting in the Ming Kingdom, I have killed several people on the island in the past few days, as long as I kill people night and night, sooner or later I can seize the opportunity to kill their boss!"
I'm going, you still have the perseverance and patience, there are at least two or three hundred widows on this island, how long are you going to kill this dead girl? No wonder the gang was so strict when I first came to the island, Nima turned out to be the ninja girl. But since this girl has been on this island for so long, then she knows about the Japanese on this island, so I will simply ask this girl to see if I can get some useful information from this girl's mouth.
"Do you know anything about the pirates on this island?" I asked with a smile.
"Why are you asking this?" Shizune looked at me with a very curious eye, wondering what the hell was going on as a country samurai from Owari.
"I just want to ask! You don't care! "Since you've been a scoundrel just now, you don't care how scoundrel you are.
Jing was annoyed, but she was suffering from being controlled by others, so she could only look at me sadly, except that it was really scary when she killed someone just now, this girl was still quite cute.
"I don't know much, these samurai have a stronghold on the whole island, and their ships are all concentrated in a cave on the south side of the island, and they usually hide their ships very tightly, and only send people to take boats to land to buy some necessities when necessary. Almost all of these people were down-and-out samurai, including the Toyotomi family, the Shimazu family, the Uki family, and even the Kobayakawa family. The leader is called Ando Bizen Mamoru Masao, who turned out to be a retainer of the Ishida family, after Mitsunari was executed by the Tokugawa Shogun, he wandered around, and later led some people to the sea to the Ming Kingdom, and has been accumulating strength here, thinking about one day returning to Japan and fighting to the death with the Tokugawa shogunate! ”
Is this old boy kidding? Just because this rabble still wants to return to Japan to compete with Tokugawa, the brain is kicked by a donkey! Besides, even if you want to compete with Tokugawa, you should stay in Japan, why come to China? No matter, although I don't like the old turtle, but since these people dare to do anything wrong in China's territory, they can only die!
"Since Yamamoto-kun is a local samurai of Owari, he has something to do with Oda-sama, and since he has a relationship with Oda-sama, then it won't be anti-Tokugawa shogun! In that case, please let me go! "Jing has no tricks at this time, so he also turned on the attribute of speaking, and wanted to use reason to influence me.
I laugh, I'm the samurai of Owari and I won't like this guy Tokugawa, although Tokugawa Ieyasu and Oda Nobunaga himself have a good relationship, but if you look at how Ieyasu treats Nobunaga's descendants, you should know that the samurai of Owari will never like Ieyasu.
"Well, you're wrong, I don't like Tokugawa Ieyasu this old turtle very much!" I laughed, and the musket in my hand went upward. As soon as the shinobu listened to what I said, her beautiful eyes immediately dimmed, and she understood that what she had just said had not aroused my affection, but had increased her danger.
"However, I don't like these people even more, if you really want to save the princess from these people, and avenge your companions, then you must cooperate with me today, and not only that, as long as you don't play any tricks, I may be able to help you complete the mission." I heard that the princess of the Maori family is still shouldering an important mission when she comes to the Ming Kingdom this time, so as long as the princess of the Maori family is rescued, I, the deputy commander of the Ming Dynasty, should be able to use as an intermediary to help them complete this task!
"What?" Jing looked at me incredulously, as if she didn't believe that I, the hillbilly samurai of Owari, could accomplish anything, but now that I was under the control of others, I couldn't express any doubts.
"Well, you're probably thinking how I, a wandering samurai from Owari, could do such a thing. Ha ha! Believe it or not, as long as you listen to me, I can definitely help you get rid of these people and help you rescue the princess to complete the mission, and then you can return to Japan with dignity! What do you think? Would you like to make this deal with me? I smiled and used the attributes of the words to convince the little girl in front of me.
"Why should I trust you?" Jing looked at me suspiciously, and whoever it was would have hesitated to say these words.
"I'll let you go now!" I smiled and withdrew the firearm in my hand into my arms, and she just looked at me in astonishment, as if she didn't understand where I got my confidence from: "Well, you can leave now, or you can kill me on the spot, but if you listen to me, not a word of what I just said is false, and it's up to you to judge which is right, right?" ”
Seeming to be infected by my self-confidence, Jing didn't turn around and leave, she just looked at me, as if trying to guess my identity, but I believe that she wouldn't believe that a person who knows Japan so well would be a Ming countryman. Hey, it's better to be in the information age! Information from all over the world can be searched in an instant, and in this era, people in the Ming Dynasty don't know about Japan, and Japan doesn't know anything about the Ming Dynasty.
"Yamamoto-kun, are you really sure to help me avenge and rescue the princess?" Jing's eyes widened and she looked at me carefully. I repeat, Jing who doesn't plan to shout and kill looks really cute, and it matches her name very well. It's just that her sharp killing show just now tells me that this cute girl is a specially trained ninja and not an ordinary woman.
"As long as the princess is alive!" I sighed, the people at the bottom were miserable by the Maori family, and everyone hated the Maori family to the core, so even if I could break through this village, there was no guarantee that the princess was not dead.
"The princess won't kill herself!" Jing said very confidently: "If the princess does not complete the task assigned by the lord, she will not die!" And I believe that although these people are disrespectful to the Maori family, they should still have some courtesy to the princess! ”
"Really?" When she said this, I suddenly became curious about the purpose of the Maori princess's visit to Daming, although the Maori family and Daming do have business dealings, but they don't want to send a princess to Daming! The best explanation for the princess is marriage, so who is the object of marriage?
"Hmm!" Jing nodded in affirmation, but she closed her mouth at the right time, and it seemed that she was hiding an even bigger secret from me. Although my curiosity is very heavy, but at this time it is better not to ask, when I lead someone to kill the people below and rescue the princess of the Maori family, I am not afraid that this little girl will not tell me the truth.
After making up my mind, I smiled at the ninja in front of me: "Okay, since we have to cooperate, I won't ask any more questions, have you ever been in the village on the island these days!" ”
"This village has a strict access control during the day, and all people must have Andofa's road to enter and exit, so I basically haven't entered it during the day!"
It's so dangerous, I still want to pretend to be a down-and-out samurai and sneak into the village, if I don't happen to meet Jing, tomorrow I will send sheep into the tiger's mouth like a fool, and my heart immediately began to thank the gods and Buddhas of the heavens, although tonight can be said that everything is not going well, but finally I met a lucky star!
"And what about that night?" I know that what ninjas are best at is probably sneaking in, and since Jing said that she hadn't been in during the day, she must have been in at night.
Sure enough, Jing hesitated for a moment, but nodded slightly. "I've used the flying claws to go in twice at night, and after killing a few people, their guard at night has become even stricter, so I haven't had a chance to go in these days!"
After listening to her words, I immediately had an urge to whip the stupid ninja in front of me over, you dead girl just said that you are my lucky star, and immediately became my moldy star, you stupid, it's good to kill people and set fire outside, and even run inside to kill people, you don't call it a grass startling snake, you are simply setting off firecrackers in the grass! It's no wonder that these widows have been so heavily guarded recently, and they are all caused by this dead girl. People say that they are brainless, and they really should be on this girl, according to her IQ, not to mention avenging her dead brothers, it is a question of whether she can protect herself!
Calm down, since this little girl has been in, then I don't have to risk going in to investigate again, and I don't know what's going on inside? Don't get angry with this girl easily.
"I ask you, did you find your princess after you went in? Or is it a place where prisoners are kept? "The key to this battle is to rescue the Ming people who were captured by these Japanese invaders, so I have to sneak into the village to check the place where they are being held, and after attacking the village, I must immediately send troops to protect these people to prevent the Japanese from taking these people during the battle. This is also the difficulty of this operation, because if you don't think about saving people, you can arrange artillery at the entrance of the village and on the mountain at that time, and directly bomb the village into ruins.
"I found the place where Guan Mingguo was captured, but I didn't find our princess, I asked those prisoners, and they said that they hadn't seen anyone dressed beautifully there!"
"Wait! You just said that you asked the captive, do you know the language of the Ming Kingdom! I asked.
Jing nodded and said: "There are not many people who know, I used to learn from the merchants of the Ming Kingdom who often came to the Maori family, and it was said to be an official language." I just learned a little, and it's no problem to barely ask a few words! ”
Yo, this little Nizi can also speak Chinese, if I am not Taro Yamamoto now, I really want to hear what it is like for this little Nizi to speak Chinese, but there is still a chance, and the current situation still needs to ask more about the captive.
"Where are these captives being held now, and are they okay?" My urgency immediately caught Jing's attention, and she looked at me, as if she could not understand my urgency, and in her mind, I was already an ironclad Japanese, and the Japanese, who should not be interested in these captives. Unless one of these captives is someone very important to me: "Well, it seems that a Chinese friend of mine has also been captured by these people, so I came here to save him!" "I took advantage of the situation to make the lie out.
"Women?" Jing looked at me.
I just didn't answer, it was a return gift that she had just concealed from me.
Jing was also very interested, and did not continue to ask, but continued to say calmly: "They are all locked up in a house in the east of the village, and the living conditions are very poor, if your friend is a woman, I am afraid that he would have been ruined by these people a long time ago, and as for the man, it is estimated that there is only half a life left now." When I saw it, most of the captives were already in rags, and the women were basically just strips of rags! ”
These Wokos! The anger in my heart was immediately ignited. When Lao Tzu bulldozed this village, Lao Tzu must make you look good, in modern times we still have a blood debt that has not been counted with these beasts, today I will meet Lao Tzu here, Lao Tzu will not turn this place into a hell of Japanese robbers today, I will not be surnamed Zhang.
"You want to kill? You can now understand why I want revenge? Why do you want to kill people on this island? "Jing is still very calm, this little girl is not as stupid as I imagined! Just carried away by the flames of revenge. "I watched several of my brothers and sisters beheaded by these people, and I saw the viciousness of their attacks, and I, if it weren't for the fact that my body still had some value, I am afraid that I would have ended up the same as those of my companions."
I was stunned for a moment, I didn't expect this little girl to have such an experience, judging from her age, this trip was probably her first mission, but I didn't expect to experience such a huge change. It's no wonder that half of this girl's body hides the cuteness and quietness of a flower girl, and the other half is full of blood and darkness.
"I must not die, because I still have to avenge my companions, and I have to complete my mission, so I must not die! Yamamoto-kun, I don't know who you are? I don't know what you're trying to do? As long as you can help me fulfill my revenge and my wishes, I will not hesitate to be a slave for you, and I will give you even if you want my body! Because I have to watch these people go to hell! ”
I was silent, the girl in front of me seemed to have been tortured too much, probably on the boat, and these would-be robbers had done something to her that she would never forget, and had caused her a heavy wound, so she had no way to get out of this shadow.
"Yamamoto-kun, you know what? When I saw them again, I seemed to be back on the boat, I watched the heads of my brother and companions roll past me one by one, I could still feel these demons moving disgustingly on me, smiling at me, I could still hear me crying, begging for mercy, I could still feel the heart-rending pain, I could still hear the voices of my companions and myself! ”
"Kill them! Kill them! Jing's eyes trembled with murderous intent, and she looked at the village below, her eyes full of blood-red light. Yamamoto, do you know how I felt when I first cut off the head of one of the men who had raped me? I felt that the filthy me was being freed, so I realized that if I wanted to climb up from hell, I had to let these people go to hell! ”
"Quiet!" I looked at the calm girl, and a feeling of pity rose in my heart, it seems that this group of beasts not only does not let go of the women of the Ming Dynasty, but also the women of their own country. Jing's originally calm mind has been distorted by them, and she will do whatever it takes to achieve her goals. Thinking like this, I no longer mind her startling the snake, after all, revenge has filled her heart, such a woman, I will not and can't bear to blame.
"Jing, don't worry, I will let them pay off all the harm they have done to you and everyone!" I sighed and looked at the girl with a calm face.
"Thank you! Yamamoto! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! "Jing was like a well-behaved Japanese girl, kneeling on her legs and bowing deeply to me, a down-and-out samurai.
Next, send these people to hell!
