A samurai of the imperial family and two lower-ranking samurai escort the roadside wild girl back to the village town.

On the wooden gates and walled watchtowers on the periphery, the ashigaru soldiers who had been stationed in the village town were waiting for them, all armed with short bows, and their faces were very solemn, and they were a little scared and frightened.

Last night, the wild girl on the side of the road, the samurai, or the local lord never returned, or the place where the monsters haunted, if something went wrong, what should they do with the lords?

Especially this morning, the horseback team sent by Minami Sajo arrived at dawn.

All armed are samurai-sama.

The face is solemn.

Knowing that the wild girl on the side of the road took someone to reconnoiter in person, her face changed on the spot.

Directly whipped the captain of the ashigaru who was temporarily leading him, asked where the monster was infested, and then quickly rushed to the depths of the Eight Fan Mountain with the samurai behind him, and the appearance was simply about to eat everyone present.

If there is a real accident with the wild girl on the side of the road, they will not have good fruit to eat, I am afraid that they will all be hung up and hanged with a whip, and even the family will be held accountable in the future!

However, the captain of the ashigaru at the gate did not wait too long when a horse riding team appeared at the end of the mountain road.

"Open the gates!"

The captain of the ashigaru shouted in a hysterical voice.

But in his eyes, there was more ecstasy, because he had already seen the young master of the wild girl on the side of the road who was escorted back safely among these warriors, at least his life was saved.

As for the samurai and retinue who didn't return, he didn't care.

After all, his allegiance is to the roadside family.

And the roadside wild girl is the spokesperson of the roadside home in Bafan Mountain.

The gates were soon opened, and the heavy planks left a gap just enough for the cavalry to pass, and when they rushed into the village town on horseback, the ashigaru, who had been preparing for a long time, hurriedly closed the gate again, fearing that they would be followed by youkai.

With locations and fortifications, they can also fight the monsters for two or three rounds.

Can you fight hand-to-hand?

I'm afraid that those elite ashigaru people will suffer heavy losses in front of the murderous monsters!

The samurai of the Imperial Family, who was the leader, turned his head directly and scolded the captain of the ashigaru on the city gate, "What are you doing to close the city gate so early?" He grabbed the reins of the war horse, and his tone was very cold: "The monster has been beheaded, and there will be people coming behind, you all cheer me up, don't fall into the reputation of the roadside family!"

These words were like a bolt from the blue in the ears of the ashigaru people on the surrounding walls and open spaces, and their faces were dull, but they were immediately crying out in ecstasy: "Long live the samurai-sama!" Long live the samurai! Long live the samurai!"

The dawn came, and in just a few moments, the youkai were destroyed.

Where would these ashigaru people not be ecstatic?

"Humph!"

It's just that the leader of the imperial family samurai has a cold face: "Shut up!" Good work!"

The whip in his hand used the power of the Dao, and directly threw out an extremely loud whip: "Don't let me see you talk more now, otherwise the whip in my hand will let you untouchables know what it means to be whipped!"

This is the gap in identity, as a samurai, where does he need to be polite to civilians?

Those ashigaru people also understand.

There is no way, the samurai master can be exempted from murder in the street, the purpose is to test the knife, even if he is punished, it is just a punishment for small things such as money and money, can it be compared with the civilian being directly killed?

At this time, no one dared to come out and say anything, they all lowered their heads and walked towards their respective posts, but their faces were full of joy, after the monsters were killed, they could be regarded as breaking free from the previous fearful environment, and they didn't have to continue to sleep at night and didn't dare to fall asleep, for fear that in the dead of night, the monsters would suddenly break into the village.

You must know that in the remote places of Chino Country, especially those dilapidated village towns, it is not that there have been no monsters who have broken into it and slaughtered forty or fifty people in the entire village town, and the scene is extremely miserable.

I've never seen it, but just hearing rumors is terrifying enough.

The ashigaru crowd dispersed.

On the city wall, the captain of the ashigaru and the old hunter hurriedly rushed down.

His face was extremely respectful and humble, but he vaguely looked at the eyes of the wild girl on the side of the road, and also asked a little, after all, now that the samurai of Nansa Castle have arrived, how could they interject and speak?

The wild girl on the side of the road understood what they meant, and the corners of her mouth curled slightly: "Let's go to the main house and rest for a while, shall we?" Saying that, he also showed the attitude of a local master and led the way in front: "You have been busy all morning, you still rushed over in Nanzuo City, you must have not eaten breakfast like me, why don't you go and eat now?"

The leader of the imperial samurai was quite polite to the wild girl on the side of the road: "Your Excellency the wild girl is thoughtful, I will thank you for your hospitality first!" They had come all the way, and it was true that they hadn't eaten breakfast yet.

As for breakfast, I just happened to ask about the mission sent down by Nansa Castle.

It's about Momotaro on the side of the road.

This distant branch has done a big rebellion that can affect the family.,It's said that it's not just the roadside wild girls who came to them.,Even Momotaro's main branch family.,There are samurai who are better at torture to investigate.。

They didn't pay much attention to it, if it weren't for the flying pigeon to send a message, saying that a monster was found near the village town of Hachifan, they would continue to grind for two or three days before it might come, after all, from the time of Nansa Castle, they were quite clear about the habits of the two teenagers, the roadside wild girl and Momotaro, and now when they encounter something, it is definitely the roadside wild girl, who is quite benevolent to the cowardly son, who was bewitched and deceived by the guy Momotaro!

From childhood to adulthood, the character of the wild girl on the side of the road has never changed, where can these local people think about what the traveler and the previous life experienced, so they never doubted him at all!

Now come to investigate, at most it is a routine and go through the procedure.

After all, you can understand it when you think about it.

Since you dare to do it, then you are definitely well prepared.

Momotaro's guy has been lurking in Minamisa Castle for 7 years from the age of 10 to now, and the matter of contacting Uncle Oni Spider and contacting the people of Yamabush has been dug out from the mouth of the gang members who have been arrested.

even wanted to conspire to assassinate the lineage of the roadside family, which caused even more anger.

Come to the main house of the village town.

They sat down, and the ashigaru people also brought barely qualified dishes.

Because of the trek and the rush in the morning, no one cares if these dishes are in line with the taste, but they seem to be elegant and peaceful when they are picked up, but in fact, they quickly solve the food and fill their stomachs first.

With a cup of coarse tea served, breakfast is over.

The Imperial Samurai spoke: "Your Excellency... It seems that Momotaro is not with you?"

He didn't know Momataro's situation yet, and the wild girl on the side of the road sighed a little sadly: "Just a few days ago, Momo Taro seems to have encountered an accident... Right now... I guess I've already gone to Elysium, right?"

The samurai of the imperial family frowned: "Dead?" He naturally didn't mean to be polite to a civilian like Momotaro, but asked in a strange tone: "Your Excellency the wild girl on the side of the road, how can you be sure... Momotaro, that guy is dead?" As he spoke, he seemed to notice the faux pas in his tone, and he also lowered his tone: "Recently, Nanzuo Cheng encountered a case, which seems to be related to your personal servant Momotaro, and this time I came over, and the elders of the family also ordered me to investigate the matter." ”

The wild girl on the side of the road looked up in amazement: "Nanzuocheng has encountered a case?" He seemed to be at a loss: "What can Momotaro have to do with the case in Minami Castle?"

The samurai of the Imperial Family said softly, "Someone wants to seek the Nansa Castle of the roadside family. ”

The eyes of the wild girl on the side of the road widened: "This..."This thing is indeed big enough, it is simple to say, but in fact, it means that someone is secretly rebelling, which indirectly shows that the mastermind is Momotaro!

So much so that the wild girl on the side of the road swallowed and spit, pretending to be extremely shocked, and her eyes widened: "How could Momotaro rebel?" He swore and said: "Although Momotaro is a little lazy and lazy on weekdays, I'm sure he is still a good person, and besides, he has been with me for so long, where is his courage to rebel?"

The samurai of the imperial family looked at the shocked appearance of the wild girl on the side of the road, and he didn't suspect anything, but just smiled lightly: "Your Excellency the wild girl is kind-hearted, where can I see Momotaro's wolf ambition clearly?"

The wild girl on the side of the road asked, "Is this true?"

The samurai nodded: "That's right!" He exhaled slowly: "There is already sufficient evidence that Momotaro on the side of the road participated in the rebellion, and he is still one of the masterminds, and even has the meaning of secretly harming you!"

The wild girl on the side of the road sat down on the chair like a thunderbolt from the sky, looked up at the beam of the house in a daze, and slowly swallowed after a while: "Momotaro... How can it hurt me?" He said as if he had thought of something: "He came to the village town a few days ago, and the next day he couldn't stand the suffering here, and he wanted to go back to Nansa Castle with the carriage, but he met a youkai on the way, and the entire convoy was eaten, so he escaped back with good luck alone, so he also took Ashigaru to explore the monster, and said that he would come back and report when the investigation was clear, so that the village town could notify Nansa Castle to exterminate it!"

Seeing his sad appearance, the samurai of the imperial family did not continue to stimulate him with words, but said politely: "We will ask others in detail about this matter, do the entire village town Ashigaru know this?"

The wild girl on the side of the road nodded affirmatively: "Everyone is in the know!" Saying that, he shook his head with emotion and sighed: "Momotaro obviously went to investigate the monster, but he must have suffered an accident before he came back, and he will be tarnished by his reputation after death, which I will never allow." ”

The Imperial Samurai nodded: "No one will allow this, and we will continue to investigate and try to sort out the truth of the matter." With that, he got up and retreated, and left the main house of the village town with the junior samurai: "I'll retire first." ”

It's just that when I left, I couldn't help frowning, this thing seems... It's a bit tricky.
