Ishikawa has always thought that his vertical leaping technique is unique in the world, but compared with the old way in front of him, it is a small thing, and within ten zhang, the figure of the other party has disappeared from his sight.

But with gold in front as bait, he will not give up no matter what, let alone crossing the jungle, even if he goes to heaven and earth, Ishikawa will accompany him to the end. At this time, his IQ was like a stupid donkey, and the bag of gold was like a carrot tied to the donkey's head, making him only look forward and forget to consider the consequences.

Sure enough, the stupid donkey will always be calculated, Ishikawa vaguely saw the tattered cyan robe again, his heart was very happy, just wanted to speed up, but suddenly felt soft under his feet, he knew that it was not good, and hurriedly raised his chest to breathe, but before he could jump up, a large net rose up in an instant, and he was whole in the air.

Before Ishikawa could shout, he heard a smug laugh from in front of him, and Xiaoyaozi's robe was windy and jumped back.

"Junior, can you admit defeat?"

Ishikawa had an arrogant expression and replied: "The methods of the old-timers, Ishikawa admires them very much, and he is willing to gamble and lose, and he doesn't want the gold in the future, please let the juniors come down, and the juniors will leave." ”

Xiaoyaozi laughed and said, "It's rare, it's rare, it's rare for young people to be in danger and not be impatient." ”

Ishikawa was not angry when he heard this, but also smiled and said: "Thank you for the advice of the seniors today, it's too late for the younger generations to be grateful, where is the anxiety?" The juniors have already admitted defeat, and they ask the seniors to raise their noble hands......"

"Phew!" Xiaoyaozi suddenly looked angry, the spring breeze instantly turned into autumn frost and cold snow, and said solemnly: "You don't come to be crazy about me, on the surface you compliment me, but your real purpose is to coax me into being fooled and looking for an opportunity to steal back the gold. ”

Ishikawa was exposed to the trick, and he suddenly stopped talking, twisted his face to the side, and didn't say a word.

Xiaoyaozi saw that he had said something on the other party's mind, stroked his short beard under his chin, and said with a smile: "Poor Dao is not a greedy person, this bag of gold is still your ......"

"Tell me, what's the condition?"

Xiaoyaozi's eyes lit up and said, "Okay, it's a pleasure to deal with smart people, and the poor Dao wants to make a deal with you." ”

"Another sale?" Ishikawa slanted down at the annoying Taoist priest and continued, "Could it be that you are a Taoist with six pure roots, and you are also greedy for mundane things, and you want me to help you steal?" ”

"Amitayus." Regardless of the hard work of the hanged people above, Xiaoyaozi leisurely played the Buddha name.

After the Buddha number was played, he sighed his lips a few times, flicked the sleeves of his robe, and then continued: "Poor Dao has already sworn that he is not greedy for red dust. ”

Ishikawa saw Xiaoyaozi's leisurely appearance above, and he was angry in his heart, and said secretly: Stinky Taoist, do you mean that if you don't swear, you can be greedy?

Xiaoyaozi didn't care about the feelings of others at all, and still said seriously: "The deal that Poor Dao and you made is not to steal, but to save people." ”

"Saving people?"

"Yes, you just need to find out where the people saved by the poor road are held, and other things will be handled by the poor road."

"Okay." Ishikawa replied briskly: "I have always clearly marked the price in my work, tell me how much you bid." ”

Xiaoyaozi shook the cloth bag in his hand and said, "Twenty-five sentences of gold." ”

When Ishikawa heard this, he immediately became angry and scolded: "Stinky Taoist, that bag of gold was originally mine. ”

"But it's on my hands." With an innocent expression, Xiaoyaozi raised the cloth bag again and shook it in front of him.

Ishikawa's anger grew again, and he was just about to scold, when he suddenly thought of something, and said, "No, it should be fifty sentences of gold inside, how can you say twenty-five sentences." ”

"A young person's memory is good."

"But I heard you say just now that there are twenty-five judgments of gold in it."

"That's right." Xiaoyaozi smiled and said, "What I just said is that after the matter is completed, I will pay you a reward of twenty-five sentences, but I didn't say how much gold there is in the bag." ”

"Despicable!!" Ishikawa couldn't bear it anymore.

Xiaoyaozi was still not angry, his face was proud, and he said leisurely: "How is it?" Have you thought it through? ”

"Fifty sentences of gold, not one less!"

"Okay, I promise you."

When the thief Ishikawa heard this, he didn't wait for the surprise, and then heard Xiaoyaozi say: "After listening clearly, you can help me rescue people, and I will give you a lot of the remaining twenty-five gold." ”

"You ......" Ishikawa was completely defeated by this inconspicuous Taoist in front of him, thinking that I used to play with others, but I didn't expect to let an old Taoist calculate today, it is really feng shui in turn.

Xiaoyaozi saw that he stopped talking angrily, and said with a sincere face: "There is indeed a lack of helpers around Poor Dao, and the enemy is in the shadows, there are many people, and he is cunning, and this person is also quite related to you, so I want to ask you to help." ”

Ishikawa gritted his teeth and replied, "It's hard to obey ...... fate."

When Xiaoyaozi heard this, he lamented, and Yaoyao said: "Since this is the case, it is not easy to be reluctant to be poor." After speaking, he beckoned to the back of the tree and said, "Friend, let's go." ”

As soon as the words fell, I could only hear heavy footsteps from behind the tree, and after a while, a stocky man walked in front of Xiaoyaozi, and it turned out to be Matsukura Shigenobu.

This is a common thing, but I don't know when it came together again.

"Hey, put me down before you go!" Ishikawa shouted in the net, revealing the bottom of the tree.

Xiaoyaozi and Matsukura Shigenobu turned around and left as if they hadn't heard, but they walked very slowly, and as they walked, Xiaoyaozi asked Matsukura Shigenobu: "No one will come to this place often." ”

Matsukura Shigenobu 1510 replied: "Please rest assured, this is already deep in the dense forest, and there will never be pedestrians passing by in normal times, but man-eating beasts often haunt at night......"

Hearing Matsukura Shigenobu say this, Xiaoyaozi put his hands behind his back, took a figure-eight step, and said gloatingly: "Good, very good, very good......"

In this way, the two walked out of the distance unhurriedly, and when they were about to disappear in the jungle, they suddenly heard someone shouting behind them: "Deal!" I did this deal......

Long Shaocong didn't know how long he had been asleep, and when he woke up, he still felt a splitting headache and swollen eyes......

In his memory, after a bang, there was smoke, and then he heard the sound of swords clashing, and for a moment of confusion, he seemed to be lifted up by someone, and he ran like a fly......

In a daze, Long Shaocong felt that someone called his name again, and it took a lot of effort, and when he opened his eyes, he found that it was Oda Katsunaga, but he was lying on a tatami mat, surrounded by wooden windows painted, and there was a faint fragrance.

"You're finally awake, but you're really sorry for us." A woman's voice came into Long Shaocong's ears.

He turned his head to look at it, and he couldn't believe his eyes, because the person who spoke was Princess Hideko.

I haven't seen her for many days, and Oda Hideko is still gorgeous and colorful, but her face is slightly haggard, and her charming eyes are still stained with tears, as if she has just cried.

"Why am I here?" Long Shaocong rubbed his forehead, trying to remember what had happened before. How did he come here from the woods, how did the girl become Princess Hideko, and how did the thief Ishikawa become the young master of Katsunaga.

"Well, ask yourself." Oda Katsucho preemptively said: "I waited for you at the agreed place with the master, and I haven't seen your figure, thinking that you are in an emergency and can't get out of it for a while, so the master taught me a set of swordsmanship first, but who knows, on the way back, I found you lying alone at the gate of the city." Originally, I wanted to take you back to my residence, but I met Meizi who came to me again, saying that my sister had an urgent matter to discuss, so in order not to delay the business, I brought you with me. ”

As soon as Oda Katsucho's words were finished, he heard a "squeak", the paper door was opened, and Xiao Meizi approached barefoot with a basin of hot water. When she saw that Long Shaocong had woken up, she smiled faintly and said with concern: "You finally woke up." ”

This ordinary greeting made Long Shaocong feel as if he had returned to Panxi Village, nostalgic for the carefree, simple and comfortable days.

But before he could reply, he heard Oda Katsucho say attentively: "Put it down quickly, let me come!" After speaking, I was afraid that Xiao Meizi would be tired, so I hurriedly took the wooden basin.

"Let me do it, you guys get down to business!" Xiao Meizi knocked out Oda Katsunaga's outstretched hand, soaked the towel herself, and put it on Long Shaocong's forehead.

Oda Katsucho slapped his head and said abruptly: "Long Shao, something is wrong!" ”

"What's the matter, such a fuss." As soon as the hot towel was applied to his forehead, Long Shaocong's pain was suddenly relieved.

"My sister is getting married!"

"What?" Long Shaocong tore off the towel and sat up with a "poof", "This is true!" ”

"That's still fake, the matchmaker made by Heavenly Master Ampei Demao was told to Mrs. Hijikata by Senlan Maru himself." Meizi replied.

Long Shaocong secretly thought, no wonder His Royal Highness Nobunaga personally visited Ampei Demao today, saying that there was an important matter to discuss, he looked up and looked at the three people, and from the expressions of the three people, it can be seen that this matter is undoubtedly convinced.

"To whom do you want to marry the princess?" Long Shaocong asked again, at this time his heart had fallen into a cliff, angry, stunned, lost, and full of mixed feelings......

"Sagami Domain, Hojo Family." Princess Hideko replied weakly.
