Chapter 26: The Trap
"My lord, there's one more request for the villain," Kosuke continued.
"What?" , Masara thinks this guy is a bit excessive. You must know that you are still my prisoner, it's a big deal that I will torture to extract a confession, I don't believe that you will not be recruited by the ten tortures of the Manchu Dynasty?
"My lord, if you don't agree to my conditions, even if you die, you won't be able to tell where the treasure is", as if seeing Masayo's plan, Kosuke quickly puffed up his chest and said. His eyes were full of firmness, and he would rather be broken than broken.
"Hmph, I, Luo Zhengliang, as the lord of the Luo family, will he be such a person? Okay, let's talk about your other condition, but remember, this is the last condition, if there are other conditions, hum ......", Masa, who is 1.7 meters tall, leaned over and stared at Xingsuke, who was less than 1.6 meters, and said in a fierce voice.
"Whew!" , Seeing that Masarashi finally agreed to his conditions, Kosuke exhaled in his heart, he was also desperate to try it just now, "My lord, that's the case, I also have a daughter."
Forehead! What's going on? As soon as he heard Kosuke's words, Masato felt very funny, how did this guy report to me that his family was out? No matter how many daughters you have, as long as you eliminate the bandits, they can help you save them.
"My lord, that's not my own daughter, and she's not in the cottage right now," Kosuke whispered.
"Huh?" , Masato looked at the guy under his feet strangely, it seems that there is a strange feeling. "Stand up and say, I've promised to save your wife and daughter, and you don't have to hold my feet anymore," Masarashi said.
"Yes, my lord", Kosuke quickly let go of his hands, and then knelt in front of Masayo, "My lord, in fact, this daughter is the biological daughter of the old leader of the original cottage." Then Kosuke told the whole story of the whole thing. It turned out that on the day of the rebellion of Banshi Dairo, the youngest daughter of the old leader of the original cottage happened to be playing with Yusuke's daughter at Kosuke's house, thus avoiding a catastrophe. When he saw the eldest son of the old lord who had broken through and was seriously injured at home, Kosuke learned that the old leader of the road was attacked and killed by Banshi Dalang and nearby local tyrants at the foot of the mountain, and at this time Banshi Dalang had blocked the entire exit of the cottage and began to besiege the residence of the old leader in the cottage. The elder chief's eldest son died of his injuries shortly after he took refuge in Kosuke's house, and before he died, he asked Kosuke to try to save his sister while his father had always taken good care of his family, and to tell Kosuke about another secret material storage location that only a few people in the family knew, as a reward.
Kosuke was indeed grateful to the old leader for taking care of his family, otherwise he would have robbed his wife by some rogue bandits when he first went up the mountain, so he quickly buried the young master in the grove behind his house, and then found a secret place to hide the old leader's daughter. On the same day, there was news that Banshi Dalang rebelled and led people to break the old leader's residence, and the second son of the old leader led his family to commit collective suicide and residence. Immediately after, Dairo Banshi began to check the cottage, and Yusuke was also taken to the cottage council room. After taking the initiative to confess one of the former old chief's financial storerooms (in fact, this is just the old chief's storeroom on the surface), so that Banshi Dalang gained a lot, fortunately he was able to save his life. And it turned out that the old chief's family, Banshi Dalang thought that they all died in the fire, even if someone could escape, Banshi Dalang was not afraid, what threat could they play if they had nothing, so they stopped the pursuit after a random search nearby, and the daughter of the old leader hiding in the mountains also escaped.
A month later, after gaining the initial trust of Banshi Dairo, Kosuke took advantage of an opportunity to go down the mountain to deliver supplies to the old chief's daughter to the house of the old hunter under the mountain, and asked them to take care of his titular daughter. The old hunter family, consisting of only two husbands and wives, had been saved by a bandit attack, so he was happy to adopt the daughter of this life-saver. But the old hunter was too old to hunt anymore, and there was only enough food on the ground for the two couples to not starve to death, so Kosuke would secretly send some food to them every once in a while. As for the food that came from? Of course, it's a warehouse in the cottage, anyway, he's in charge of managing the grain, so no one pays attention to taking a little secretly. As for the treasure, Xingsuke took advantage of several opportunities to enter the mountain behind the cottage at night, and according to the route provided by the late young master, he found a hidden cave, which did store a lot of materials in the cave, and there were more than a dozen chests, which were all the wealth accumulated by the old chief's family for decades, and there were nearly a thousand copper coins alone. Kosuke also wanted to take more coins to use at first, but after thinking about it, he just took a few dozen coins in the end. For what? These coppers are too scattered, too large, and relatively heavy, and there are always nearly 1,000 Wen, adding up to 3,000 to 4,000 grams, so that it is easy to be found by other bandits. Besides, there are not many opportunities to go down the mountain now, even if there is a chance, and the time to leave to act alone is also very short, and it is difficult to use coins in these bitter cold places where there are not many wandering merchants, and it is better to use food more practically. …,
After listening to Kosuke's narration, Masara felt very embarrassed, he didn't expect that there would be so many twists and turns in a small bandit den, and at the same time, he also felt that Kosuke, a bandit, was not bad to the root, at least he still had a little conscience in his heart.
"My lord, please take care of this old hunter, otherwise they will all starve to death", Xingsuke said with a sad expression, "This is the old leader's most deprecated bloodline, and I am willing to dedicate this treasure of the old leader to my lord, in exchange for the old leader's bloodline to survive, I believe the old leader is also willing to see it; In this way, it will not be considered to live up to the trust of the late young master." After saying that, Kosuke prostrate on the ground.
"Well, it's not too difficult to take care of this old hunter and his daughter, just provide some land so that they can settle down," he thought to himself.
"Okay, Kosuke, in a few days, I'll find someone to let that old hunter move to my territory, at least to make sure that they live in peace and don't starve to death", Masarashi bowed his head and said, "Now you should tell me more about the situation of that big Ishinoji." ”
"Yes, yes, thank you for your great kindness, you are the reincarnated Bodhisattva!" Kosuke kowtowed several times in a row, and thanked in a choked voice. Kosuke Chiro said that he was already very lucky, as long as he saw his wife and daughter rescued safe and sound, he could die with peace of mind even if he was beaten into meat sauce by these townspeople, but he also hated the ruthlessness of Sazaburo Banshi when he asked for help, and the sinister nature of Oishi Taro when he forcibly robbed his wife and daughter, even if he went to hell, he had to drag these people down as much as possible, so Kosuke decided to do his best to help this "devil" in front of him.
So, after calming down his heart a little, Kosuke knelt down and sat up, bowed to Masara again, and said, "My lord, Oishino is a short-tempered and impulsive guy, much worse than the cunning and ferocity of Ishishi Dairo, so he has been suppressed by Ishishi Dairo, and there is a plan under him that can easily cause Oishino to suffer a heavy blow." "The things that I am worried about are backward, and Kosuke seems to have regained his former demeanor of giving advice in the cottage.
"Huh?" , Masarashi glanced at the guy who suddenly became energetic and motioned for him to continue.
"My lord, if I didn't make a mistake in my prediction, these hellish guys were going to attack your territory tonight, but you captured them," Kosuke said immediately after feeling the look in Masara's eyes telling him to continue.
"Then, the big Ishino on the mountain won't know the situation here until tomorrow morning at the earliest, and then he will be furious and lead his men to attack the territory and save his only son," Kosuke continued.
"Can't they come and attack us in the middle of the night," Masarashi asked.
"No, my lord, you don't know the situation on the mountain, there are some traps set up along the road, so the bandits basically don't cross the mountain road at night, and even if they can't get back to the cottage before dark, they usually choose to spend the night at the bottom of the mountain and go up the mountain the next day," Kosuke said with certainty.
"Oh?" , Masahiro was also worried that the person who escaped fled back to the cottage overnight to report the news, and then the bandits immediately went down the mountain overnight to attack the territory. After all, fighting at night is much more difficult for the current territory with low level of force and general night blindness. As for the reason why he was able to win a big victory tonight, one is that he is well prepared because of the bandits' carelessness, and the other is that the bandits are carrying torches at night, which has become the target of Ashigaru in the dark, and if these bandits come prepared, it will not be so easy to deal with. Now, if the bandits only come to attack the territory during the day, then their own side can at least make up for the lack of force through the formation.
"My lord, if Oishino Er leads people to attack the territory tomorrow, then this damn guy will be a good trap," Kosuke said, pointing to the emanating bandit in the distance.
"Him?" , Masarashi looked suspiciously at the bandit who was choked by Kosuke's neck just now and almost saw Hades go
