Compared with the vast Zhongyue hills, a team of 1,000 people pulled the net to search was too difficult, a small fierce fight that broke out on the Shibu River River did not attract much attention, and the small country clan of Minowa Mountain Castle did not dare to send people out of the city to inquire about the news, and did not carefully descend the mountain until after dawn, at this time nothing was left on the river plain except for the messy blood stains and traces of the battle, except for the parties concerned, no one knew what was going on on the river plain this night.

In the quiet night, there is only a whistling night wind blowing in the endless field, and the hazy mountains seem to be devouring flesh and blood demons, it is a full moon night, but unfortunately a cloud appears to block the bright moonlight, under the cover of the dark night, the fleeing boys and girls are rushing on the river bank at midnight.

Behind them, no less than twenty Honjo troops were in hot pursuit, and the shouts that sometimes came seemed to mean that they were just ahead, and the sparks in the hands of the long-tailed tiger queen seemed to become a guiding light in the night, guiding the pursuers in the direction of their advance.

"Tiger Queen! We can't escape, so throw away the torches! ”

"But you can't see the road without a torch."

"I can't see clearly even if there are torches! Throw it away! ”

The Honjo army, which was biting the two of them, suddenly found that the fire in front of them disappeared, and the cavalry, who had lost their direction for a while, gradually slowed down, slowly chased to the place where the torches were discarded and stopped, looking at the dark river plain in front of them, only to hear the voice of a samurai scolding impatiently: "Bastard! I lost someone, what can I do? The Lord will not bypass us! ”

The other warrior pondered for a moment and said in a low voice, "I can only continue to search!" Search north along the Shibukawa Sea and you'll be able to find someone! ”

The warrior in front sighed and said, "I can't care so much!" The lord will be over soon. We had to chase it over! ”

At this moment, the clouds that blocked the moonlight moved quietly. Causes a ray of moonlight to fall through a gap in the clouds. The bright moonlight soon illuminated the silver-white riverbank, and it happened to be seen that there were two fading figures in the distance, and one of them hurriedly reminded: "The moon is out, just ahead!" ”

"God help me! Hurry up, everyone! The horseback samurai of the Honjo army waved the whip in his hand and chased after him at an accelerated pace.

The rumbling sound quickly attracted the attention of Kira Yoshitoki, and when he turned around, he caught a glimpse of the group of pursuers finding the direction of the pursuit again, forcing him to urge the war horse ruthlessly, and shouted urgently: "Tiger Ji hurry up!" They're catching up again! ”

"No more! My horse can't run! What to do! Woo woo woo ......" Long-tailed Tiger Ji cried as she spoke, where did the little girl experience such a battle. When he saw that his horse was almost unable to run, he began to cry loudly in a panic.

As a princess's mount, the first thing needed is to have a docile temperament and move steadily, speed and endurance are secondary, and it can be said that it is not easy for Long-tailed Tiger Ji's mount to insist on escaping all day.

Watching the mount move forward with difficulty, the tears on the face of the long-tailed tiger hime flowed down, and Kira Yoshitoki stretched out his right hand and said, "Jump over here and drop your mount!" I'll ride with you and keep running! ”

"But ......" Nagatail Tiger Aki's words were not finished. The horses plunged headlong into the sand by the river, but fortunately the long-tailed tiger queen was not injured. It's just that the mount that had been with him for several years died, and the girl in white was stunned.

Kira Yoshitoki reined in his panting horses, he had already noticed that his mount was also showing signs of physical exhaustion, but the current situation did not allow them to stop, "Tiger Hime! Hurry up! I'll take you and we'll keep going! ”

"Nope! I don't want it! The long-tailed tiger queen was frightened by the violent death of the mount, shrunk beside his mount and cried non-stop, making Kira Yoshishi sweat profusely, jumped off the horse and pulled the girl up and pushed the mount, this time and time delayed, and the distance of the pursuers was greatly shortened, and now the sound of shouting behind him can be heard clearly.

"Stop! You're welcome! ”

The speed of the two people riding together is obviously a lot slower, the distance of the chasing soldiers is approaching little by little, the tiger Ji shrank in his arms and cried vigorously, Kira Yoshishi can only beat the mount to speed up, but the effect of this is not ideal, the war horse is still running slower and slower, and even the wheezing gradually has a feeling of hoarseness.

"Am I going to die?" Kira Yoshitoki suddenly wanted to give up resistance, neither he nor Tiger Ji had the strength to turn back and fight again, so they could only resign themselves to their fate and let their mounts move forward slowly, and at this time, a large cloud happened to cover the bright full moon, plunging the originally bright world into darkness again.

This shield made the originally clear road become pitch black again, and the samurai who lost his goal again had to slow down, and it was very dangerous to dare to run wild without seeing the road, in case the horse stepped into the dirt pit and broke the horse's leg, it was very likely that the comrades behind him would be killed together.

The samurai in the lead shouted, "Bastard! What the hell is going on today, the moonlight is obscured again! ”

"Keep chasing! They ran to death a horse, and the two of them riding a horse together will definitely not run far! ”

This chase continued for a long time, and gradually his mount showed some signs of being unable to support it, and the speed of his horse continued to decline no matter how desperately he spurred his horse, and he felt that the pursuers behind him were still biting them and chasing after them.

"This is an opportunity! Only the vault survived! Kira Yoshishi immediately stopped the horse and stopped the whip, pulled the long-tailed tiger Ji to turn over and jump down, and carefully explained to the girl: "Tiger Ji! We're going to hide! Don't talk when you're chasing soldiers! You know what I mean? You nod if you understand! ”

The long-tailed tiger kie nodded obediently to show that he understood what he meant, and Kira Yoshitoki raised his whip and drove his mount to another fork in the river, and then the moonlight in the sky showed some signs of getting brighter, and the time for the two of them was running out, and Kira Yoshitoki took the little hand of the tiger hee and went down the river bank to the reeds in the river.

The river water in March was bitterly cold, and the tall reeds grew in the water, and although it was safe to hide, Kira felt an icy chill when he first entered the water. The icy water of the river became the biggest difficulty. But the rumbling sound in the distance was getting louder and louder. He couldn't help but hesitate.

After this whole day of overloaded action, the long-tailed tiger her, who had never experienced overload exercise, was so tired that she couldn't even open her eyes, leaned on his arms and whispered, "I'm so tired!" ”

"Right away! Don't worry! Kira Yoshitoki gritted his teeth and relentlessly, bent down and made a movement to carry her to the long-tailed tiger her: "Tiger Ji hurry up, I'll carry you to the reeds to hide for a while." ”

"But......" The girl hesitated to refuse, but remembering Kira's explanation, she obediently put her arms around his neck and slowly climbed up.

The two of them slowly walked along the reeds into the river, and the weak voice of the long-tailed tiger queen reached his ears: "If you are tired, remember to let me down." ”

"It doesn't matter. I'm in very good health, and I haven't had a few illnesses since I was a child! And I'm wearing a carcass pill to keep you warmer than your armor. Kira Yoshishi's hearty reply made a gentle smile bloom on the girl's face.

When the moonlight shines again, and dozens of horsemen chase after him, this river has returned to its initial tranquility, and the samurai on horseback rushed over without hesitation, not realizing that there would be anything abnormal in this ordinary reed.

The cold water of the river covered Kira's thighs, wetting the hem of the long-tailed tiger queen's skirt. He stood still in the river with the girl on his back, and their evasion was not in vain. It didn't take long for me to hear a rumbling sound rushing back from the front, and there was a scolding voice nearby: "I haven't found it after chasing it for so long, it must be hidden nearby, search it carefully!" ”

"My lord! It's been three shifts now, isn't it ......"

"Less nonsense! If you catch the princess, I will reward you with ten dollars per person! Don't even think about getting anything if you can't catch it! ”

Then came a cacophony of sounds, as if the samurai of the Honjo were scattered and searched, and after a long time another chaotic sound gathered, and after a quarrel seemed to give up the search and headed north, and no other sound was heard since.

At this time, the attentive girl soon noticed that his body was twitching, so she whispered, "Is it cold?" It seems that there is no one left, let's go ashore first! ”

"Good...... Good! "Kira Yoshishi carried the girl step by step to the shore with difficulty, at this time his legs were already frozen unconscious, even he didn't know how to get on the shore, when he walked to the riverbank, a feeling of exhaustion suddenly rose, and then the whole body seemed to be weightless, as if the stars in the sky were falling, and the next moment there was nothing.

……

In the chaos, he saw a familiar scenery again, the Yasaki River in Mikawa Province, he and Yamamoto Kansuke were sitting by the river fishing, he caught many big fish and Yamamoto Kansuke caught nothing, and then snowflakes fell in the sky, Yamamoto Kansuke suddenly dropped the fishing rod and stood up, smiled at him and said something, and then he didn't know anything.

In the next sequence, it seems that at the foot of Fushimi Mountain, facing the charge of the Ten Rivers Army, Mikawa's samurai wielded their swords and guns to fight back desperately, and many samurai were killed in the battle, and he fled desperately under the cover of the horses, and at that moment Yamaoka Nagaku seemed to say something to him, and the gloomy sky seemed to fall on the familiar and unfamiliar snowflakes.

Such a chaotic scene sometimes found that there were completely different changes from his familiar memories, which made him a little confused, which was true and which was false, and at this time she heard the familiar chanting sound, which was the "Medicine Master Liuliguang Nyolai Wish Merit Sutra", usually this scripture always appears when praying for the patient's recovery, but why does it ring in his ears?

This familiar chanting sound seemed to be sincere and difficult to get along with, but when he was in trouble, it could not be dispelled in any way, and for some reason the believers started a nameless fire and covered their ears to not listen to this disturbing sound.

In a panic, I heard someone shouting, "Wake up!" Wuweidian has woken up! ”

"God and Buddha bless! The owner has finally woken up! God and Buddha bless! This voice seems to be Tokiyuki Yamamoto.

It seems that Hosokawa Fujitaka whispered: "Hachiman Great Bodhisattva bless!" Bless my Kira family for a long time! ”

……

"What's wrong with me?"

Kira Yoshitoki slowly opened his eyes, and saw a large group of figures surrounding the room, shaking his heavy head and trying to sit up, but found that he couldn't exert his strength, Yamamoto Tokiyuki hurriedly stopped: "Don't move, Lord Pavilion, you woke up after three days of coma, and now your body is weak and needs to recuperate." ”

"I've been in a coma for three days?"

"The owner of the hall has not eaten since he left Kasuga Mountain Castle in the afternoon, until midnight to intercept the Honjo army, and escaped with Her Royal Highness the princess for nearly an hour, after the two horses could not support it, he also carried Her Royal Highness the princess to stand in the water for more than an hour, without eating, drinking, sleeping, and then being soaked in the wind and cold by the river, and as soon as he came ashore, he passed out, but at this time, the horses rushed over through the guidance of the ninja, which was really a blessing in misfortune!" Yamamoto rejoiced.

"If it weren't for my own experience, I would never believe such a bizarre thing, the Wuwei Palace, under the pursuit of that group of traitors, can calmly let go of the mount and take Her Royal Highness the princess to hide in the reeds, it's really amazing! If it were me, I would never have thought of this! Saito Asanobu, who was gathered in the crowd, also echoed, but his eyes always glanced at Aju, who was serving Kira Yoshitoki, and his eyes glowed as if he had found some treasure.
