Chapter 304: The Line Between Life and Death
Kira Yoshitoki stood still at all, only a trace of blood slowly flowing down the blade and there was a soft ticking sound, and a black-clothed samurai with an eyepiece and a mask appeared behind Kira Yoshitoki, and the round shield in his hand was dented by lead bullets.
Silently, standing behind Kira Yoshitoki was the shadow ninja Mochizuki Yoshicho, and more than a dozen black-clothed ninjas appeared on his left and right at the same time, or holding lock sickles, ninja knives, and shuriken scattered aside, surrounding Kira Yoshitoki, and the leader of the Mochizuki ninja snorted coldly: "Should you be called to hear Shirai?" Or is it through the leader out of Uruise? ”
The old man pretending to be the fisherman of Liverpool was shocked when he heard this, and the short iron cannon he was holding tightly slipped down his hand, and his cloudy eyes were full of doubt: "Who are you?" Could it be Shadow Ninja? How could it be you? ”
The assassins who followed Izumi Semori attacked everywhere and immediately chose their own assassination targets, and this time they obviously didn't think about getting out alive, and several drunken samurai were stabbed to death on the spot, and the samurai who reacted immediately drew their weapons and fought the assassins.
Hattori Captain pulled the sword out of the chest of an assassin, and the blood that shot red and stained his gorgeous clothes, looking at the team of ape musicians invited today, it turned out to be all assassins, and he didn't know anything about it, and the Hattori security chief, who felt humiliated, shouted: "Where is the Hattori ninja?" Fence them up! ”
"Hmph, no need!" Takigawa Tokiyoshi and Shima Tokikatsu each slashed the attacking assassins with a sword, Watanabe Takatsuna, Naito Masari, Kurokawa Kiyomi, and Hojo Takahiro also joined the battle group, and most of the Echigo samurai were drunk, but there were a few who remained sober.
Minoru Honjo, Fujishi Nakajo, and Keisho Nagao reacted immediately. Saito Chaoxin drank quickly and couldn't walk. He can also knock out the assassin with a hard punch. As a result, he didn't catch the knife for a long time, so he simply twisted off the head of the brute force assassin, and Yamamoto Tokiyuki, who was not good at fighting, could only be squeezed out of the battle circle with Hosokawa Fujitaka and Matsui Yukan, who were not good at fighting.
Inside the hall, on the beams, and outside the side door, the black pressure of the Iga ninja blocked the water of the Ohiroma Wai, and another group of Echigo ninjas with different symbols also burst in, and the entire assassin group melted like ice and snow under the scorching sun, and in a short time, more than thirty assassins were killed, and seven people were left around Deura Isemori.
The powder on the little girl's face was splashed red with blood, and a deep and bony knife wound on her right arm was oozing blood. Her mother fell in a pool of blood not far away, and his father was unfortunate enough to encounter Kato Duanzo himself, and under the climax illusion, the silent middle-aged man suddenly went crazy and stabbed himself in the heart and died.
"Hahaha...... I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, Hattori Hanzo, Shadow Ninja, and Kato Duanzo of Xuan Ape, it's not unjust for the old man to die here today! When Izuura Semori caught a glimpse of the strange expressions of his remaining companions, he burst out laughing, laughing wildly and with a sense of relief.
The six assassins, including the little girl, suddenly raised their weapons and frantically slashed at their companions. The little girl threw the shuriken in her hand at another companion, and then felt a pain in her chest. The bright red blade pierced through her chest, and the unbridled splatters of blood stained her beautiful clothes.
This is the little girl's clothes specially prepared before this operation, as a taciturn ninja, she has to undergo rigorous training since she was a child, she has excellent acting talent, she likes to dance quietly in beautiful clothes, she once had a dream in her heart, for his lover to dance a beautiful lucky dance.
The little girl still vaguely remembers that a few years ago, her grandfather once scolded her harshly: "Ninjas are tools, female ninjas are tools of ninjas, and your mission is to complete the task at all costs!" Don't dream about it again! Don't let me see you wearing this again! ”
This time she was going on a mission to die, so she decided to die in her best clothes and die in the cherry blossom season with her original dream.
"That's probably my fate!"
A heart-rending pain awakened her confused consciousness, and the little girl who was freed from the illusion saw the snow-white knives around her flickering under the lamplight, and the corners of her mouth and nose spurted blood irrepressibly, and slowly fell down with the last quiet smile.
She saw that her grandfather was still laughing maniacally, that the crazy and unreasonable old man had never cared about her, and the little girl turned her head with difficulty to look at her dead father and mother, and a tear quietly slipped from the corner of her eye.
"Goodbye, beautiful world! Father and Mother of Heaven! Yukihime is coming for you! "No one remembers that there was once a beautiful little flower that quietly bloomed, and no one cared that a young girl fell in a pool of blood, and her death was as light as a feather, and she could not even get a look of pity from her grandfather.
Dealing with a few assassins who were in the way, Kato Duanzo sneered at the only old man in the hall: "This person is the leader of Takeda Topo, Izumi Semori, who taught this person on the battlefield a few times, and I never thought that he would appear here, but this is okay, he will be abolished as soon as he dies." ”
"You dry bones in the grave, my lord will kill you one by one! What am I if I'm dead? There will be thousands of people who will avenge me! Deura isemoru looked a little cruel in his eyes: "Soon you will meet me in hell!" Hahaha......"
Deura isemori's complexion changed sharply, his wild laughter turned into a violent cough, his old face was covered with a terrible layer of blue-black, and then black poisonous blood oozed from his eyes, ears, mouth and nose, and Izuura isemoru fell down without saying a word.
"What kind of poison is this?" Hattori's face sank, and before he could step forward, he was stopped by Kato Duanzo on the side: "Don't go over!" This person is good at using poison, I don't know what poison he will put on his body, someone will take it off the net, and drag these corpses out! ”
The samurai and ninjas were busy cleaning up the scene and rescuing the injured, the wedding banquet could not be held, and the sudden assassination caused a total of thirty-five casualties, and Kira Yoshitoki himself almost lost his life. What the hell is going on! ”
"Sorry! Your Excellency, Your Excellency doesn't know! "Hattori Security Chief didn't say a word, he bowed down, and made such a big fuss, how embarrassed he was as the leader of the ninja army. All the Iga ninjas present knelt down.
"What! You say you don't know! Why is it not clear! Good! Let's not talk about this yet! "Kira Yoshishi is holding back his anger for the time being. He turned around and picked up the scabbard and handed it over. "If it weren't for Fanchang sacrificing his life to save him this time, my family would have died here! Therefore, the family wants to reward you, and this knife is yours! ”
"Wait!" Uesugi Kenmasa stood up suddenly, pointed at the sword and asked urgently, "Is this the village rain?" How could the heirloom of the Furukawa Gongfang family be in the hands of the Wuwei Palace? ”
"What? Is this the village rain? Kira Yoshishi was stunned for a moment, looking at the richly decorated Taidao, and his brain couldn't turn for a while. The believers looked at Iwazurumu in surprise, and said secretly: "This knife is the village rain?" I can't remember what the village rain looks like...... Wait, hasn't this knife been hidden all along? ”
Kira Yoshitoki is the most indispensable in his hand is all kinds of famous knives, not only family heirlooms but many, in Kyoto for a few years to receive more than a dozen, to the poor countryside of Echigo every New Year's holiday gifts like to give the knife, together with the wedding day to receive the knife, his hand of the knife collection has already exceeded 100.
When he first arrived in Echigo, Nagao Jinghu once took him to his Taidao collection to watch, and there were also more than 100 Taidao swords, which were very shocking. Most of the knives in his hands are collections that have been collected for generations, and there are not only sufficient quantities. The quality is also quite good, and it is absolutely fine to arm one of its guards at any time.
This time, Iwazurumu actually turned out the village rain, and I don't know how he found this famous knife from many collections, and the sudden situation made Kira Yoshitoki frightened his head, because he knew that this knife was a veritable death of the light, and it was already terrible to take it out, and it was so miserable that it was called on the spot.
"Didn't I tell Zhengqing to hide him? Is it because Zhengqing didn't make it clear when he handed over to the chief of security? Probably not! That's the problem with Hattori Ninja? What is the problem? What the hell does Hattori do again? ”
Yamamoto Tokiyuki blinked and immediately reacted, stood up with a smile and explained to Uesugi Kenmasa: "It turned out to be this famous sword!" Lao Chen still remembers that it was a down-and-out samurai who sold this sword for a hundred kanwen four years ago, saying that it was the famous sword village rain in the eastern country, but the owner of my family didn't take it to heart, so he ......"
Kira Yoshitoki didn't even blink his eyes, and laughed: "It seems that there is such a thing, and the family remembers!" It was a few years ago when I visited Kyoto and encountered a down-and-out samurai peddling a famous sword, at that time the family thought it was very interesting and quoted Yongle money 200 kanwen, the family thought this knife was good and bought it, how? Is this really the legendary family heirloom knife of the Furukawa family? ”
"Yes!" Uesugi Kenmasa didn't know how to explain it, so he could only plead anxiously: "I can be sure that it is the famous sword that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Furukawa family, and in the Great Kanto earthquake a few years ago, it disappeared along with the death of the former Gongfang Haruji, and there are many strange legends in the Kanto region that are related to this way!" This knife represents the family heirloom of the Furukawa Gongfang family, and the Wuweidian can't give it to others! ”
"My family will do what it says, how can it change because of your ideas!" Kira Yoshitoki's brows furrowed, and when he calmed down, he smiled and said, "What's this, isn't it just a famous knife?" Fanchang has the grace to save the life of his family, without his sacrifice to save him, the family would have become those corpses a long time ago! This knife deserves a prize! Must also be rewarded! Come and pick up the knife! ”
"Thank you, Lord Pavilion!" Honjo's long eyes were filled with satisfaction and surprise, and he hurriedly knelt down and took the famous knife that symbolized glory with both hands, and saluted with his head to the ground: "Your Majesty is willing to do your best for my Kira family, and you will not hesitate!" ”
"It's not enough! Saving the life of my family is not something that can be bought with a knife! That's not enough! As Yoshitoki Kira's gaze turned, the eyes in the hall also locked on Mitsukane Numata's body, "Uenosuke! The family gave you a task.,Compile today's story into an ape music.,From the family out of the battle to subdue these three people.,And then to the battle of Kawanakajima, these three people are loyal.,Finally, it's to save the family's life as the end! ”
"Yes! Please rest assured, Your Highness! Your Majesty will definitely complete the important task! "Numata Hikaru and Rong bowed down, Kurokawa Kiyomi and Hojo Takahiro could only envy the good fortune of Honjo's prosperity, and sacrificed their lives in exchange for fame through the ages, where to find such a good thing? Of course, the two of them have nothing to complain about, and it would be nice to be able to book a show of face in Ape Music.
As a well-known cultural figure in, Hokuriku, and San'in neighborhoods, Numata Mitsukane is good at socializing and has a wide range of contacts, and at the same time has very high attainments in music and literature, especially good at compiling and composing music and ape music.
"But......" Uesugi Kenmasa was about to continue talking, when he saw a Echigo samurai hurriedly walk in, "Tell the Takee Temple!" A group of unidentified peasants gathered in the towns of castle and Naoetsu, and they attacked the towns with banners, and the people of each town were sending letters asking for help, and the current news was that the enemy army was likely to be a single army! ”
"How can it be the same as ever?" Saito Asanobu exclaimed in disbelief, "How is this possible! Hasn't the one been wiped out? (To be continued......)
