Chapter 044. Castle Town
The night is already deep, and the castle town, which is wrapped in the city wall, is like a delicate little lady, curled up in the warm quilt, but the bedside lamp is still on, which is even more attractive.
The ashigaru people armed with longbows and spears yawned on the patrol, from the castle wall to the castle town, bored, after all, next to Nansa Castle, where the daimyo of Chino Province lived, there was no situation at all, so they were very relieved, even if the patrol was very common.
The 16-year-long peace has worn out the vigilance of these ashigaru, and besides, the real elite ashigaru, who was already stationed in the soldiers and gates of Nanzuo Castle, where is it the same as these guys who are just maintaining law and order?
During the day, there is also a samurai in charge of the leader's supervision, so there is barely anything wrong.
Now that it's dark, the samurai who lead the team are all running to the izakaya or brothel in groups to get drunk and die, leaving only these civilians, Ashigaru, to patrol alive.
The curfew has been enforced and the gates are closed, but the castle town is still bustling.
There are still people in the various markets.
Outside merchants squandered copper plates and led their servants between izakaya and brothels, and the enticing smell of food and alcohol filled the air, and the moonlight and lanterns made this castle town as enchanting as Elysium, and even more smoky.
This is a castle town at night, and compared to the orthodox appearance of the daytime, the regular buying and selling of goods to each other and buying goods is the indulgence of everyone tearing off the disguise of the daytime.
But at the top of the corner tower of the city wall, the wild girl on the side of the road was standing in the darkness beyond the reach of the moonlight, looking coldly at the lively castle town below, and the different fang markets that were divided.
The 5 shinobi from Konoha were behind him, looking at the castle town below with a silent expression, after all, what was about to start was killing, even if this place was prosperous, it had nothing to do with them.
After waiting for a while, the castle wall at the bottom of the corner tower was walked by several patrolling ashigaru people.
The time has not yet come.
It was just the first half of the night, around 10:00 p.m.
Everyone was enjoying the drunken gold fans in full bloom in the castle town, and all of them were immersed in the warm fragrance of nephrite, and the cheerful atmosphere was permeated, and slowly even the patrolling Ashigaru people began to be intrigued.
The frequency of patrols gradually slowed down, and even the ashigaru who acted as a sentry looked dazed at this time.
Fatigue is one of the reasons.
But the atmosphere that pervades the castle town is even more to blame.
Human beings are hedonistic creatures, or any intelligent creatures, who are naturally willing to make themselves more beautiful and enjoy more joy, even if they are just empathetic to them.
The wild girl on the side of the road still watched coldly, he was already familiar with this place for a long time.
Teens.
He will be able to leave Minamisa Castle and visit the castle town.
Anyway, in addition to the basic teachings, the people of the roadside family can be said to be very guarded against him, not only did the crucial Crossing the Sky Flow Sword Dao not teach him, but in fact, they didn't even teach a lot of the knowledge that the sons of the family should have.
He had thought before that this might be a means to avoid the competition for the throne of his son-in-law.
Now it seems.
I just want to train him to be a gentleman, preferably a waste who does nothing all day!
After all, the existence of the wild girl on the roadside is extremely embarrassing, not only with the bloodline of the roadside family, but also from the bloodline of the demon clan inherited from the mother clan, and she may awaken into a half-demon at any time because of some kind of stimulation.
When the time comes, due to the erosion of the consciousness of the demon blood, it is easy to change his temperament.
Cruelty and tyranny are said to be different.
It has been recorded in many ancient books that the spirit of the half-demon has been eroded by the blood of the demon race, and the ethics and morality of human beings have been erased, becoming murderous and bloodthirsty.
Even if he has the protection of his father who died in the war, at most he can only live without worrying about food and clothing.
It is obviously impossible to go further.
He saw this clearly, and he didn't care at all.
After all, now the wild girl on the side of the road can stand on the corner tower and not be discovered, relying on the power of the human Dao, or the demon power of the monster, relying on the ninja system from the system!
None of this world at all - Chakra!
"Almost!"
The wild girl on the side of the road swept through the castle town, looked at the prosperity inside with cold eyes, and slowly raised her head.
Overhead, the bright stars seemed to be embedded in the deep universe, only in an oblique position, and the moon, which was as large as a disk, was releasing a bright moonlight, sprinkled on the earth, as if it were day.
Slowly reaching out and touching the moonlight beyond the shadows, it made him feel quite wonderful.
The bright moonlight in the palm of his hand seemed to be crystal clear.
It's also slightly cool.
But this chill is by no means a bone-chilling chill, but also a bit of comfortable coolness.
The wild girl on the side of the road did not withdraw her hand, but broke it directly in the corner of the corner tower, and Chakra attached to the surface of her feet and stepped out, and with the inertia of falling, she climbed over the city wall lightly, and just jumped into the castle town.
In the dark corner, he and the five Konoha shinobi crouched gently.
No one found out.
After staying at the top of the corner for so long, I have figured out the patrol route in the castle town.
Even the alternating time is clear.
Taking advantage of this patrol vacuum, their infiltration was perfect.
The wild girl on the side of the road did not relax, but instead had a slightly rusty seal on her hands: "Transformation technique!" As the chakra erupted all over his body, a thick white mist appeared all around, and the wrapped figure also made obvious changes.
From the previous more well-proportioned physique, he was directly raised to an obese appearance, with a round figure and a fat face, and a little facial expression, which happened to be Momotaro who had been disguised before!
And right next to it, the 5 Konoha shinobi also used the transformation technique.
"Bang bang bang bang-"
A slight sound appeared, and the five ashigaru people dressed in casual clothes appeared in this dark corner again, glanced at each other, just nodded, and walked out of the dark corner of this city.
Not far from this dark corner is the street's most striking building.
It's exactly where they are going –
Brothel.
At the main entrance, there are bewitching women with bare white arms beckoning, many people in more luxurious costumes are coming in and out, the sound of music and art is coming from inside, and there are all kinds of laughter immersed in drunken gold.
The wild girl on the side of the road disguised herself as Momotaro, and didn't enter directly from the main entrance.
Instead, he turned around and came to a remote alley.
He's going through the back door.
"Dangdang—"
Knocking on the wooden door gently, the wild girl on the side of the road and the 5 Konoha Shinobi waited quietly.
Footsteps sounded inside, the wooden door was gently opened, and a young man dressed in gray feathers appeared, his face full of gloom and haughtyness, and with ribs and a sword for self-defense in his arms, which seemed to be difficult to approach.
However, when he saw the fat fat face outside, he showed a respectful smile: "Momotaro boss!"
"Hmm!"
The wild girl on the side of the road disguised as Momotaro nodded: "I'm looking for a godfather!"
He said in a very hurried voice, and his overall face seemed to be quite overreacting, and he didn't even mean to be polite to the person in front of him, so he directly pushed open the wooden door and squeezed his fat body in: "Fast!"
But this abnormal appearance did not arouse suspicion, the young man's eyes were slightly brightened with gloom and arrogance, and he was suddenly overjoyed, and his tone was also lowered and asked, "Boss Momotaro, the thing has succeeded?"
The wild girl on the side of the road didn't answer, but said in a deep voice: "Go!"
Too much talk can make you lose it all.
Now that he is deep in the enemy's nest, he still doesn't know him, can he talk more?
At this time, as long as you pretend to be successful, you don't know what to do with your eagerness, and even a little gaffe will be covered up, after all, changing into someone else's appearance can be quite bizarre.
Even those weird monsters can only be done by a few races!
"Follow me!"
The man also knew that the matter was urgent, and hurriedly led the people in.
The courtyard was an elaborate Japanese garden, and he led the way deeper into the building, where he encountered a large number of guards with swords or ribs at their waists, numbering about thirty or fifty people, all with a fierce face full of flesh.
When they saw Momotaro, they were either shocked or surprised, and they obviously knew each other.
But no one said hello.
Even when someone wanted to say hello, the young man at the head glared at him viciously.
The matter is urgent, and strict secrecy is required, although the backyard of the brothel is full of its own people, but at this time, it is inevitable that there will be many people, if the secret is really leaked, then will it not be captured by Nanzuo City and cut off his head?
Led by him personally, they soon came to the more ornately decorated room.
Then knelt down directly: "Uncle Ghost Spider!"
Inside is the Lord.
There is a faint sound of bamboo, and there is a cappella singing of geisha, and the voice is sweet and lovely.
There was silence for a few seconds before a hoarse voice came from the room: "Did something happen again?" There was still a little impatience in his voice: "Or are those puppies from Nanzuo City coming to beg for money again?"
The young man was full of excitement and said, "Uncle Momotaro is back!" Thing... It's done!"
"Hey—"
Momotaro, who was disguised as a wild girl on the side of the road, also said in a deep voice: "It's done!"
In the room, the sound of bamboo and the singing of geisha were suddenly interrupted by the hoarse voice: "This is it?" At the same time, there was a sound of walking barefoot, the door was opened directly, and the old man in the haze who was wearing a cold fox coat came out directly, with ecstasy on his face: "Momotaro, you did a good job!"
But before the wild girl on the side of the road could say anything, the ecstasy on the face of the gloomy old man in the fox fur dissipated, and there was a little jealousy in his eyes, and he said, "Everyone else retreats!"
