Chapter 122: The Assassin (4)

Maruko was bouncing around the cart like a rabbit, and she couldn't tell that she had taken the car with an uneasy face on her face an hour ago. That cheerfulness made Nichiro want to get in the car and let Maruko pull him away. The damn Chinese doctor didn't know how much blood Yin Ichiro had drawn, but he drank a big bowl of brown sugar water after the blood was drawn, and now he still feels that his steps are vain. The last time I felt this was 10 years ago.

After following the rack car with his hands, the money bag in his arms returned to its yesterday weight. The Chinese doctor was very neat when he drew blood, and he was also very happy when he was exempted from the surgery fee of Inoichiro. It's really hard to see. Because he has been learning Chinese characters since he was a child, he thinks this may be the meaning of the banner that reads "uphold the humanitarian spirit of saving lives and helping the wounded" in Chinese hospitals. The banner is 'Zhao Jiaren', and I heard that it is the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.

Seeing three people appear at the door of the house, Midoriko, the mother of an ordinary peasant woman, cried and wiped her tears according to the traditional pattern of ordinary people making a fuss. Hearing that her husband, who was taken away by the trio, was not dead, Midoriko immediately stopped crying and looked at her daughters with suspicious eyes. Hearing her daughter say that her husband was in Kamakura Castle and was still being treated in the hospital opened by the old man of the Great Song Dynasty, Midoriko's suspicious expression turned into horror.

Nichiro was too lazy to watch such a farce, so he dropped the sentence "You guys go to Kamakura by yourself" and pulled the car back to his residence. The tossing and turning all night exhausted him, and he didn't want to meet the officers and soldiers again. Lying on the broken bed, Inoichiro recalled that Dr. Da Song asked Inoichiro about his origin and hometown after taking blood. After listening to Nichiro's answer, the doctor looked at Inoichiro meaningfully and said, "Interesting." ”

Doctor Da Song didn't say anything annoying, but he knew a lot of expressions on his face. What can you see just by taking a blood draw? Ichiro knew that Dr. Da Song didn't believe in ghosts and gods, and that they could really know things that others couldn't see with the naked eye by manipulating the sorcery-like transparent bottles and jars?

His thoughts were covered by sleepiness here, and Inoichiro fell asleep. I don't know how long he slept, he opened his sour eyelids and got up from the bed with all his might. After listening carefully, most of the fatigue dissipated. It was the clatter of weapons, the shouts of men and the screams of women.

Put on your shoes and stand up, only to feel your mouth dry. Nichiro didn't go out immediately, he first went to the well to get a bucket of water, drank a few big sips, and washed his face. The whole person returned to the best state at this time, and Inoichiro walked towards the place where the battle was engaged. Hiding behind a tree, he saw fighting on the road leading to his dwelling.

On the battlefield, the samurai who had fought with Inoichiro was wielding a machete and was fighting with the two of them. Look at the figure is somewhat familiar. Then he saw a man holding a katana aloof, and an arrow stepped forward and slashed. I suddenly remembered that these two people had participated in the assassination of Master Fujii. The gang had good eyesight, saw Inoichiro's abnormal movements, and tried to hunt down Inoichiro after assassinating Master Fujii.

Looking at the other people who fought again, there were officers and soldiers and masked people. Although the number of officers and soldiers was superior, they were defeated by masked men. Inoichiro did not expect the assassins to be unrelenting, although he did not know how they came into contact with the officers and soldiers, and Inichiro believed that the assassins' purpose was himself.

Let's slip away! Nichiro made his decision. As soon as he turned around to leave, he heard Maruko's shout from the side: "Nichiro, save us!" ”

This voice caught the attention of both warring parties, and the Assassins had gained the upper hand, and one of them forced the officers and soldiers back with a sword and rushed towards Inoichiro's side. Nichiro immediately ran away, rushed all the way into the lodgings, and kicked hard at a pillar. A long cloth bag fell on it, and the katana inside was drawn, and Inoichiro lifted the straw curtain and walked out of the broken room.

When the Assassin saw that Inoichiro had a weapon in his hand, he did not immediately attack. Inoichiro holds the scabbard in his left hand with the blade pointing upwards. Pressing the knife with his right hand, he said loudly: "Your Excellency, I have no intention of getting involved in your affairs, can you let me go?" ”

Apparently, the Assassin hesitated. Soon a gong-like voice came out from under his mask, "It's too late to say this now." After saying that, he put on a stabbing posture.

Neither of them moved, looking at each other, moving their steps slightly, making judgments before making a move. A gust of wind blew, and the Assassin's linen robe fluttered, making his figure look even more unpredictable. The wind also blew up the hem of Inoichiro's short shirt to reveal cotton boxers. Like a peasant who wants to go to the field. With the katana in his hand, he couldn't say anything about it.

Taking advantage of the fluttering of his robes, the Assassin moved like a brown cloud. Inoichiro also moved, and he stepped forward, wearing rubber-soled shoes that completely covered his feet under his bare legs, looking like kappa's flippers. The upward-edged katana draws its scabbard, and with the natural swing of the arm, the blade slashes downward.

The figures of the two staggered in an instant, Yin Ichiro stopped and turned around as fast as he could, a long cut was cut on the left side of the linen short clothes, and the front placket was thrown behind him as he turned around, Yin Ichiro casually removed the torn clothes and threw them on the ground, wearing only a pair of boxed cotton underwear, carrying a knife to face the assassin.

The Assassin turned around with difficulty, only to see that the middle of his robe was completely torn apart, and blood was spurting from his forehead to his chest. After a few swings back and forth, the Assassin fell to the ground and bounced a few times before moving.

This was Yin Ichiro's first time killing people, and he didn't expect that the first of the seven styles of the Great Song Dynasty would kill people so quickly. I only felt that I was dizzy for a while, and then I was hot, and I watched the assassin for a long time before recovering. The first thing I felt when I woke up was, 'Oh no, run.'" ’

I was thinking about the girl, and I thought about the belongings. Rush into the house and put on trousers, crewnecks, and blouses. Pull out a rucksack from the corner and quickly stuff something of value inside. When you want to rush out the door, you can go back and find your money bag and stuff it into your clothes pocket. At this time, I wanted to leave, and I remembered the dry food, and the rice had been brought, so I ran to the back of the house and dragged the dried rabbit meat down.

At this time, I heard a burst of footsteps, but I saw Maruko staggering into the broken temple first, followed by several officers and soldiers. When Maruko saw the corpse in the yard, she screamed in fright and turned her head and ran. I happened to see Nichiro, so I jumped up and hugged Inoichiro's waist.

Just as Inoichiro was pulling Maruko's arm open, several assassins chased after him. Inoichiro can only hold a knife and make a defensive stance. However, the Assassins did not pursue him, and their eyes fell on the fallen Assassin, and someone immediately stepped forward to investigate. Seeing that the man was dead, the Assassins gestured to each other, and one of them stabbed Inoichiro with a spear in hand.

The bright sword light flashed, and Yin Ichiro used the third style of the Great Song Dynasty Sword Technique. This gamble is that the enemy's spear is not strong enough, and the bet is that the knife in his hand is fast enough. Myohomura is extremely sharp, and the blade is extremely smooth. The first knife cuts off the handle of the enemy's gun, and the second knife directly cuts off the enemy's windpipe. The Assassin took a few steps forward, smashed through a broken plank, and threw himself into the house.

The second killing was not as exciting as the first, and Inoichiro took a stance and looked at the remaining assassins on the other side. He wanted to see the way out, but he couldn't show a flaw at this time. You can only retreat slowly. Then he heard the warriors who had fought shouted, "This is it, this is the thief who sells meat." ”

Straight sissy thief! Yin Yilang scolded the words of the Great Song in his heart. When is it, I can still remember that.

But he heard a calm voice shouting: "Your Excellency Yin Ichiro is definitely not a meat thief!" He's with me. ”

Hey, hey! This guy is such a ghost, it's definitely not a good thing! Nichiro made a judgment. Then I heard the man continue: "Your Excellency Eichiro, I have come today to thank you for saving our great kindness. But I didn't expect to meet these thieves. Please help us. ”

It's strange to believe you! Yin Ichiro scolded in his heart. However, before he could react, the Assassins left Eiichiro and the officers and soldiers in place and suddenly turned to leave. No harsh words, no hasty escape, the assassins covered each other out of the battle circle, and then walked away.

What's going on? If you can't beat it, are you ready to settle accounts after the fall? Inoichiro only felt extremely depressed. If you are caught selling meat and are caught by officers and soldiers, and you have to be hunted down by assassins when you encounter assassins, can you only flee back to Shikoku? He really didn't want to go back.

After a few footsteps, Yin Ichiro found that the officers and soldiers were already nervously holding weapons at this time and semi-encircling him. Especially the one with the big sword, who is like a great enemy. I was about to turn around, but I didn't expect Maruko to lean up again and grab Inoichiro's arm. Then a man in his thirties told everyone to lay down their weapons, and he himself put down his katana, and took two steps forward empty-handed.

"Your Excellency Nichiro, I am Mitsui who guards the yamen in Kamakura. Thank you very much for your help today. ”

"Hmm." Nichiro said as he pushed the balls away.

Mitsui continued: "Yesterday Ping Guardian was assassinated, and the doctor said that it was thanks to Your Excellency's blood transfusion for Ping Detective that Ping Guardian's life was saved. Thank you for today. ”

The name of Yasushi Hirasa's crossed Ichiro's mind, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"I have your help today, and I would like you to wait with me to ......return to Kamakura," Mitsui continued.

However, Inoichiro only felt that Mitsui's voice seemed to suddenly become lofty, and the words "I will be grateful for it" seemed to float from a distance, and it was like an echo of the valley.

When he came to consciousness again, he felt as if his body was shaking on the boat. Hurriedly opened his eyes and saw that he was carrying a small sedan chair. It is a small light sedan chair with two bamboo poles and a chair. I was about to move, but I found that I couldn't move. When I looked down, I saw that my legs, waist, and right arm were tightly tied to the chair with ropes. Neither the katana nor the dagger was nowhere to be seen. Leaning back in his chair helplessly, he finally remembered that he probably fainted while listening to Mitsui's words.

Really back! Nichiro lamented in his heart. But I heard Maruko next to him shouting happily: "Yin Ichiro, you're awake!" ”

It's all your broom spirit! Nichiro lamented in his heart. If it weren't for Maruko dragging him twice, he would have been walking safely on the way to escape by this time.

"Your Excellency Nichiro, we can't help it, so we can only ask you to go to Kamakura together." Mitsui walked to the sedan chair and said with a smile: "When we get to Kamakura, we will loosen the tie for Your Excellency." ”

Yin Ichiro turned his face, at this time, people were swordsman, he was fish and meat, let's think that these people would not kill themselves at this time.

The sedan chair was carried all the way outside Kamakura Castle, but instead of entering the city, it went straight to the hospital. When I arrived at the hospital, I walked through the lobby and went straight to the inpatient department at the back. At the entrance of the inpatient department, everyone stopped. A moment later, yesterday's doctor came out, saw this posture, and said angrily, "What are you tying people up for? ”

The staff of the hospital hurriedly translated. To Yin Ichiro's surprise, the officers and soldiers untied Yin Ichiro. It's just that it's still quite guarded. But when the doctor took Inoichiro into the inpatient unit, Mitsui was the only one who followed him.

The doctor saw that there was no one next to him who knew Chinese, and he asked, "Yin Ichiro, you are a relative of the peace probe, right?" ”

Ichiro's heart suddenly gave birth to awe. The doctors of the Great Song Dynasty were indeed unusual, and the spells cast by those transparent glassware were by no means comparable to the elder witches who danced the Great God to burn the rune paper. At the same time, Yin Ichiro had some funny feelings. Are there any nobles on the Kanto Plain who are relatives?,The current Iwami Tanji Hirasayama Yasushi is the maternal uncle of Nichiro.。

Seeing that Nichiro didn't answer, the doctor turned his head and looked at it, and continued to ask, "Didn't you want to recuperate today?" Why are you doing heavy work again? Even if you are young, you should also pay attention to your body. ”

Now Inoichiro is somewhat sure of the reason why he fainted. He did want to recuperate, but he didn't expect disaster to suddenly bebesquare him. But along the way, he was angry at first, and then he figured it out. If it weren't for the officers and soldiers, he himself would have been surrounded by those assassins, and he would have died. I didn't expect those assassins to be so obsessed with killing people and killing people, what are they?

"You have a good rest, I asked them to invite you just in case. Ping Tan was seriously injured, and he had to have a blood transfusion if he was not sure. Other people's blood and peace probes are not worthy. Those nobles were old scumbags, and if they knew that their blood was going to be drawn, they would be scared to death. How could you agree. The doctor calmly recounted the incident, and it was clear that he was unaware of the bloody battle that had broken out today.

I heard the doctor continue: "Don't worry, as long as the flat exploration problem recovers, I will find a chance to let you go." ”

Inoichiro couldn't help but smile bitterly, if only it was as the doctor said. He now decided that as long as he could return to Shikoku, he would put up with the boredom of working in a factory, and honestly stay there, never going back to Honshu.

What happened after that was as Inoichiro expected, and the doctor arranged a place for him to live. The officers and soldiers led by Mitsui immediately took good care of Inichiro. Mitsui himself went to the ward where Nichiro was staying, sat down on another empty bed, and then asked calmly, "Your Excellency Ichiro, I want to know where you come from,"

"I'm a San celebrity, and I've made a living in Shikoku." Yin Ichiro replied helplessly.

"Oh? It wasn't easy. Mitsui sighed, looking a little fake.

"Let's eat together." Inoichiro replied. This is also what he said in his heart, as a member of the Anda family who was destroyed by the Frost Moon turmoil, it is not easy to escape and live. Although he told himself when he left Shikoku that he would cut off the heads of three great enemies and stay in Kamakura for more than two years, he also knew that it was just wishful thinking on his part. Relying on one person alone, let alone killing those high-ranking and powerful people, there is no way to get close.

The events of the past few days have made Ichiro, who has never lived in Kamakura since he was a teenager, understand that the strange environment of Kamakura is not at all the way the nobles who imagined that they live a regular life every day. That kind of clock-like life is only a day only in Shikoku, and the places outside Shikoku are made up of all kinds of chaos and unknowns.

"But I don't know which one is the name of Sang?" Mitsui continued to ask calmly.

Ichiro scratched his head and remembered for a moment before replying, "I don't know which one." It was by the sea that the whole village went to Shikoku. He had already thought about what to do if he was caught, many villages on Sangna's side had heard of Shikoku's wealth, and some people went to explore the way first. After that, many villages moved to Shikoku, where rice was eaten.

"Can't you remember?" Mitsui laughed.

"At that time, I only knew that I followed my father and mother, where did I remember so much."

"But why did you come back from Shikoku again?"

"My father and mother have passed away. It was very hard to work in the Shikoku factory, and I thought that I could make money by doing some trading, so I came here to try my luck. ”

"Haha. Your Excellency Nichiro has worked hard. Mitsui laughed.

I hope it's been fooled. Yin Ichiro prayed in his heart, this Mitsui looked like he was not an ordinary person, and Doctor Song said that he could help himself, but Doctor Song didn't know what was going on.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Mitsui put away his smile, "Your Excellency Nichiro, I don't want to get entangled in the matter of selling meat. I have seen the hilt of your sword that you cut off, and I have seen your skills today, and you did not want to do it when you clashed with the officers and soldiers. Today, it is thanks to your help that I was able to save my life. But I want to ask you why you are entangled with these Assassins. ”

Master Fujii is dead, and Inoichiro is not worried about telling the story of him stealing meat. It tells the story of his delivery, checking for idlers, and finding assassins. Unexpectedly, just by taking a few more glances in the crowd, he was remembered by the other party. I didn't expect the assassins to be so ruthless, not only did they not forget about each other, but they also did everything possible to find Yin Ichiro's traces from the sea of people.

Answering this, Yin Ichiro couldn't help but ask Mitsui, "Your Excellency Mitsui, why did you make such a fuss recently?" ”

"This ......, it's inconvenient to say." Mitsui refused to answer what happened, "Then I won't bother, and I ask His Excellency Nichiro not to leave without permission." ”

With that, Mitsui left Inoichiro's hospital room. When he came out, he went straight to the guard in the corner of the hospital, and when he entered, he picked up Inoichiro's katana. When he pulled out the knife, Mitsui's eyes reflected a cold glow, and his fingers gently caressed the blade, only to feel smooth as silk. The knife slashed two people, and he checked while Inoichiro was unconscious
