"Your Highness, there is an eagle's beak in front of you, the entrance to the cottage", Kosuke lay beside Masahiro, pointed forward with his right hand, and whispered. After more than an hour of trekking, under the leadership of Kosuke, Masarashi and the others bypassed the traps arranged by the bandits and finally came to the vicinity of the bandits' lair. Now they were lying in ambush at the edge of a forest, cautiously looking at an open area outside the woods.

In the direction of Kosuke's right hand, I saw that at the end of the open field, there was a hill that gradually climbed upward, about 7 or 8 meters high, and the hill was full of vines, but it was rare to see tall trees. On the left side of the hill, there is a 5 or 6 meter wide crack in the middle, and above the crack is a small cliff that protrudes slightly, which does look a bit like an eagle's beak from a distance.

"Your Highness, there are usually people guarding the place, and once someone invades, someone will notify the people inside. After this crack, there is a town, which is the residence of the relatives of the bandits and the townspeople, and the cottage is behind the town," Kosuke continued.

"How many people are there at the entrance?" , Masarashi asked.

"It's usually two people, and because they haven't been attacked, it's usually guarded by very few people, and if you don't worry about the people who just came back from looting to escape, I guess you don't even need a guard," Kosuke continued.

"The one who came back from the loot?" , Masarashi turned his head to look at Kosuke. To say that bandits loot food wealth, Zhengliang doesn't think it's strange at all, but robbing people is strange, after all, an increase in population means an increase in food pressure.

"Your Highness, it turns out that those who followed the old chief came here with their families, but the number is too small, so the old chief will occasionally coerce some poor peasants or homeless people back to the cottage, or bring some willing homeless people back to the cottage. Oishi Noji and Banshi Daro were originally homeless people, and later volunteered to follow the old leader up the mountain. After becoming the leader, Slate Stone Dalang often did this, but they mainly robbed young women or some people who had some skills and were in dire need of the cottage. These people must have tried to escape by all means at first, but gradually they will settle down, for example, those young women will settle down after they have children, and become the wives or concubines of those bandits", Kosuke cautiously looked at Masayo's face and found that there was nothing abnormal, and then continued, "Of course, the subordinates who do these things are the subordinates of Oishino and Banshi Dairo, and it turns out that the subordinates of the old leader do not do these things, and we are all poor peasants, so we can't do anything to these people. ”

After saying this, Kosuke found that his palms were covered in sweat. He was afraid that Zhengliang would be angry and angry with himself, although he didn't do these things himself, and even he was coerced into the cottage at the beginning, but now he came out of the thief's den after all, and he still has the logo of a thief on his body. And he also knew that there were now a few women in the bandit town who were snatched from the political territory. Of course, this lucky help would not have told Masarashi at this time. Kosuke has to wait until he takes the cottage to tell him, and then there will be those damned guys inside who will suffer, and he doesn't have to worry about being a scapegoat.

Of course, Kosuke's worries seemed to be superfluous, and after listening to Kosuke's answer, Masarashi continued to look at the entrance to the bandit's lair, his brow furrowed, and he seemed to be lost in thought. But what Kosuke didn't notice was that not far behind him, Kisaburo was looking at the crack in front of him with red eyes, and his body trembled slightly from excitement.

"Well, let's follow the action we have determined", Masaro finally woke up from his contemplation, and then waved his hand behind him, and seven or eight people immediately began to slowly retreat. "So, Kosuke, are you ready", Masarashi turned his head to Kosuke beside him and continued. …,

"Yes, Your Highness, the villain is ready", Kosuke replied in a whisper, puffing up his chest. Then he followed Masara to the back of the ambush team, picked up Oishi Taro, who was still unconscious, and walked out of the woods with the seven or eight people who had just retreated, and returned to the path leading to the cottage.

According to Masayo's plan, Yukisuke held the unconscious Oishitaro, led himself and his eight ashigaru bandits to pretend to be eager to return to the cottage to rescue the injured Oishitaro, and then opened the entrance of the bandits in one fell swoop.

In this way, Kosuke walked in front with Oishi Taro in his arms, and Masarashi and the other eight ashigaru followed behind in the original clothes of the bandits, and in order to avoid being recognized at once, they all smeared their faces with black ash, and then hurried to the entrance of the bandits' lair. 500 meters, 400 meters, 300 meters, 200 meters, 100 meters...... As the team got closer and closer to the wooden door at the entrance, Masarashi had a strange feeling that these bandits were too negligent, and the team made such a loud noise, but so far no one had noticed.

"What...... Who? Standing still? Dozens of meters away from the entrance, a shout finally came out from inside the wooden door. But there was a clear hint of panic in his voice.

"It's me, Kosuke", Kosuke immediately replied loudly as planned.

"Ahh Kosuke-sama? Another exclamation came from the wooden door. A person climbed onto a simple lookout next to the wooden door and looked at the group of Zhengliang outside the door. Masashi hurriedly lowered his head, although all the people had black ashes on their faces, they still had to try to avoid facing these bandits.

"It's me, open the door", Kosuke didn't stop, shouting as he led the group on.

"Ahh It's really Kosuke-sama, quick, open the door", the thief on the wooden frame immediately shouted below after seeing that it was Kosuke, and then climbed down the wooden frame with eight hands and eight corners.

Soon the team came to the wooden gate, only to see that the wooden gate was 4 meters high, and it was nailed in a row with thick wood, and if it was attacked, it would be difficult to attack it in an instant.

"Squeak", the door cracked a crack with the sound of a scrambled wooden bar falling to the ground behind the door. Zhengliang made a gesture and signaled the people behind him not to act rashly, after all, this is only the gate of the entrance, the key is to open the gate of the cottage, so it is best to take this entrance unconsciously at this time.

"My lord", the door finally opened most of the time, and two thieves walked out from behind the wooden doors on both sides, but they looked like they were 13 or 14 years old, very thin. Masara was surprised, it turns out that the bandits also have scouts! The Kosuke in front was also surprised, and even stunned for nearly 1 minute, and then asked in surprise, "Why are you guys?" ”

"My lord, it's good that you come back, there's a fight inside, and everyone here has gone inside, and it was Tadajiro who asked us to come and guard it for a while," said one of the boy bandits.

"Fighting? Who fought? Kosuke was stunned and hurriedly asked.

"Your Excellency is like this...... They? The boy thief was about to answer Kosuke's question, but suddenly found that the person behind Kosuke didn't seem to know him, so he hurriedly pointed to one of the Luo family and wanted to ask. But it was too late at this time, and a few ashigaru behind Masarashi immediately rushed over and controlled the two boy bandits.
