The difficulty of the samurai of the imperial family is reflected in the fact that there is no proof of the death of Momotaro.

This follow-up arrangement was so careful that after he arrived, even if he knew that it was impossible to find any clues, he still felt a little tricky when he found nothing in the end.

By encountering the monster, he lurked in the castle town to kill people and seize money, and then disappeared mysteriously through the origin of the monster, leaving only the rumor of his murder in the village town of Hachifan Mountain, and in the end, he was the most suspicious, but he did not have any responsibility and traces, and of course there would be no clue about how to deal with the next case.

When he came to the village town, looking at the ashigaru people who were all elated, the samurai of the imperial family frowned, wanting to track down some clues that Momotaro might have left, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help but snort coldly: "What a cunning!"

He clenched his fists and stopped trying to investigate, not intending to continue.

What else to check now?

Since Momotaro can arrange the plan carefully and completely disappear from the crowd, even if the clues are traced, where can he go to arrest this Momotaro who is so cunning that even Minamisa Castle dares to offend?

To be caught is a capital offense, and he can leave a conspicuous trail that leads to his arrest and then execution?

That's certainly not possible!

The junior warrior behind him looked scornful: "My lord, what should we do next?"

The royal warrior's face was solemn: "You can find someone to ask!" He turned his head to look in the direction of Bafan Mountain, and slowly exhaled and sulked: "It's not Momotaro who needs to be concerned about now!"

The lower-level warriors sighed heavily and nodded: "Understood!" Then turn around and leave.

All understand.

The next Eight Fan Mountain, the most important of which will be the Oni Samurai incident.

Although these low-level samurai did not know the inside story, the samurai of the imperial family, as a class second only to the Samurai of the Banner, knew better what had happened at the beginning, and the inside story left behind was quite difficult for him to deal with.

The most important task is to complete the interrogation process as soon as possible and return to Bafan Mountain to report the matter.

After all, this is not the case.

The arrival of the roadside wild girl, the son of the roadside family, seems to have caused a strange change.

Even if he didn't go to war directly, he helped to deal with the terrifying youkai, but for the samurai of the royal family on the side of the road, the consequences have begun to transition to unpredictable places.

You know, for 16 years, that ghost samurai was quite quiet.

Just responsible for the repression of the local.

That is, to maintain the fragile balance of the front line of Bafan Mountain.

Maybe it should go on like this, but I didn't expect the arrival of the wild girl on the side of the road, which caused such a chain reaction, so that the ghost warrior began to take the initiative to disrupt the balance.

Thinking of this, the imperial warrior squinted slightly: "Could it be... Does he still remember the original family affection?"

If so.

For those of them in Nansa City, the situation is even worse!

……

……

The main house of the village town, the wild girl on the roadside sits on a low bench.

The 10 Konoha shinobi who had returned had already returned, standing in the room with a calm face, as if they were resting, but in fact they were secretly vigilant and guarding, because there were still two lower-level samurai standing at the door of the main house of the village town.

This is the guard sent by the samurai of the imperial family to protect the safety of the wild girl on the side of the road.,It's actually house arrest.。

Everybody knows that.

Not long after, a polite voice came from outside the door.

Then Captain Ashigaru and Old Orion were let in by the two junior samurai.

Although it is a house arrest, it is only temporary and nominal, but it is just a process, and I can't make any stiff attitude with the lineage of the roadside family for this trivial matter, and the grandfather is still in power in the position.

There are also people who are in this Bafan Mountain, and it is not without a backstage, what should I do if I am really angry?

At that time, it is estimated that there will be a river of blood!

They can't stop it!

In the room, the faces of the old Orion and the captain of the ashigaru were a little uneasy.

Looking at the wild girl on the side of the road and the extra entourage behind her, she couldn't help but ask softly: "My lord, the samurai master sent by Nanzuo City is outside to inquire about the news, doesn't it matter?"

The wild girl on the side of the road looked at them, smiled and said softly, "What are you afraid of?" He was very calm: "Momotaro obviously went to investigate the monster and died, does it have anything to do with us?" As he spoke, his fingers tapped on the table: "Don't be afraid, rest assured, otherwise you will be found to be abnormal, and I will have no other choice." ”

When he said this, he carried a threatening meaning, so that the captain of Ashigaru and the old hunter in front of him hurriedly bowed their heads: "I don't dare to wait!" After raising his head, the emotion on his face was also a little more composure that he had forcibly maintained.

Although it looks a little awkward, it can also be seen as the tension of civilians facing samurai.

It doesn't need much explanation and guidance.

Stupid things like drawing snakes and adding feet, and wild girls on the side of the road won't do it.

What is wanted is to let these samurai of Nansa Castle think for themselves, ponder for themselves, and use their own reasoning to come up with answers that they think are correct, at least in this feudal era when reasoning has not yet been systematized, no one can really find the truth.

Let these samurai who are good at fighting as detectives, don't be embarrassed for them.

The sky was bright.

From early morning to noon to late afternoon.

The samurai, who interrogated dozens of people, did not come to any valid conclusions at all.

Everyone is not suspicious, and even if there is a suspicion, they have already distanced themselves from Momotaro, and although there are mountain lurking in the village, where do the few people dare to come forward at this time?

As for the Ashigaru people, who were originally stationed in the village town, they didn't know Momotaro at all.

Even the elite ashigaru people from the castle town organization are the same.

Who knew before he was recruited by the old man of the Nansa Castle family?

If they knew that they had come to this Hachifan Mountain and knew the danger here, they estimated that even if they spent money and bribes, they would not have been able to be sent to this village after reorganization, so that they were afraid of encountering youkai now.

It can be said that after several hours of inquiry, these lower-level samurai also extinguished the idea of wanting to get effective news in Hachifan Mountain Village Town, and hastily ended the inquiry and returned to the front of the imperial samurai to report: "My lord, I have basically asked, there is no valid information, I am not familiar with Momotaro, and it is not the same as the information I knew before, I was greedy for life and afraid of death in the morning and planned to leave, but I met a monster and brought someone to investigate, and there was no trace of him." ”

The face of the imperial warrior remained unchanged, and he had already expected this: "I know." With a slight frown, he looked at the side of Bafan Mountain: "Since the monster has been killed, then there is nothing important here." ”

The face of the lower-level warrior suddenly showed joy: "My lord, then let's ... Go back?"

They don't want to stay here anymore.

Dangerous.

This word simply lingers in their hearts, and they simply can't forget it!

Of course, the imperial samurai also understood why these lower-level samurai were afraid to stay here, and pondered slightly, while speaking, "Since this is the case, let's go back." Without waiting for the lower-level warriors to be elated, he also snorted coldly: "But what to say after you go back, I hope you are still cautious!"

The lower-level samurai were a little stunned: "When I go back... How so?" They looked at the imperial warrior in front of them and pleaded in a low voice, "My lord, we are just samurai from civilian backgrounds, please tell us the details." ”

The Imperial Samurai snorted coldly: "The topic of the Oni Samurai." ”

The junior samurai understood: "It turned out to be... He?" Subconsciously turned his head to look at the side of Bafan Mountain, his face was ugly: "My lord, we still need to report this matter when we return to Nanzuo City?"

The face of the imperial warrior was also a little ugly: "Now that he has left the depths of Bafan Mountain and come to the periphery of Bafan Mountain, and he has also solved the monster for the wild girl on the side of the road, do you really think you dare to keep this news?" Saying that, his face became even more cold: "I'm just a warrior of the split family, if the Zong family investigates this matter, even I can't deal with it, not to mention you civilians and warriors from small surnames, it is estimated that you will be held accountable on the spot!"

The lower-level warriors swallowed their saliva, and their faces became more and more anxious: "This matter should be reported, of course we don't dare to hide it from Nansa City, but my lord... You should know the matter of Bafan Mountain clearly, can we get involved?"

The warrior of the imperial family smiled: "Can you mix it in?" His smile was a little cold: "But now that we are involved, if we don't report it as soon as possible, what should we do if the matter becomes bigger?"

didn't continue to talk nonsense, he walked directly in the direction of the stable, found his sturdy war horse and turned over and rode directly, and at the same time looked at the junior samurai on both sides who were also riding war horses, and gently knocked the horse's belly to signal the war horse forward: "Let's go to the main house of the village town, say goodbye to Your Excellency the wild girl on the side of the road, and then rush back to Nanzuo Castle directly!"

The lower-level warriors bowed their heads one after another: "Yes!" Without saying a word, when they rode to the outside of the main house of the village town, they all turned over and dismounted, standing respectfully on both sides, and even the low-ranking samurai who guarded the door came to join the team.

The imperial samurai personally entered the door to say goodbye, and those low-level samurai did not have this qualification.

Enter the room.

The roadside wild girl and the captain of the ashigaru and the old hunter are discussing the matters of the city defense.

The 10 ninjas in strange costumes were standing quietly next to them as if they were entourage, and the samurai of the imperial family didn't care, and went in directly and saluted the wild girl on the side of the road: "I'll wait until the task is completed, and I'll leave." ”

The wild girl on the side of the road got up: "Is this leaving?" His expression was also a little anxious: "How is that guy Momotaro?" As he spoke, he asked one after another, "Have you investigated the situation of killing the monster before?" Recently, I feel that the situation in Bafan Mountain is not quite right, and I am really a little panicked now!"

The Imperial Warrior smiled: "Your Excellency Wild Girl, don't panic, maybe the situation in the depths of Bafan Mountain..." his tone paused: "It's still a good thing for you, at least the monsters in the mountain don't dare to come over easily." ”

The wild girl on the side of the road was a little puzzled: "This is... What do you mean?" He didn't seem to understand.

The samurai didn't explain much, but still smiled and said: "You don't have to panic, Momotaro doesn't know what's going on, maybe he really met a youkai, or maybe he is still alive, and now he is missing, no one can say." Saying that, he also thought of something and continued: "It seems that the supplies from Nansa Castle will come over tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and when I came, I have already met those coachmen in the castle town preparing the supplies, and I will ask Her Excellency Wild Girl to load and unload them in time when the time comes." ”

The wild girl on the side of the road nodded: "That's good." It's just that when he still wanted to ask something, the samurai of the imperial family said goodbye and left directly, without continuing to let him ask, and left the village town with the junior samurai on a war horse.
