Nan Xiang was a little concerned.

Although it was not early and it was almost dawn in the real world, she still decided to go out and have a look.

Before entering the city, the guys who followed Nan Xiang, although they pretended to be good citizens, their calluses from the tiger's mouth, solid footsteps, and fluttering eyes made Nan Xiang have to be suspicious.

Tsutsui Castle has been lost several times in history, and it has been alternated several times in the hands of Tsutsui Shunkei and Matsui Hisahide, mainly because this castle is based on a plain, not a mountain castle, and it is easy to attack and difficult to defend. If you add a few internal responses, you can open the door and release the city, which is almost useless for the defenders. In fact, for Nanxiang, who has always pursued a low-key style, she can hang high. But in this troubled times, it's better to be careful about everything. If these people had the audacity to set fire to the city, she would have been able to prepare everything in advance.

In ancient times, there were no street lights outside the house, and the visibility was naturally different from that of modern society, and at night it was almost impossible to reach out to the five fingers. Nan Xiang stayed outside the hotel for a long time, and finally waited for the target to appear.

There were six people on the other side, and judging from their hurried pace, the martial arts should have exceeded level 70. And the leader among them has even reached level 90 (blue out of blue), even if it is one-on-one, Nanxiang may not be able to win.

"What the hell are these guys coming from? When these six people get together, I'm afraid they are worth a small force. ”

In the era of Japan's Warring States Period, especially before the emergence of the "people of the world" who disturbed the situation, the various forces were chaotic and divided and fought each other, and countless local tyrants sang and appeared one after another, so most of the troops were also very scattered, and often a few hundred people were a very fierce battle. These six people seem to be very skilled, and if they add a wave of miscellaneous fish, they can definitely be called a strong party.

Led by the leader, six men were trained to navigate the darkness. Passing through the square streets of this flat city, from the dark corners to the noisy night markets, they have left their footprints. Until they reached a huge courtyard, they saw that the leader suddenly made a gesture, and the six of them suddenly scattered and separated, hiding one after another, and disappeared.

Nan Xiang was taken aback. Fortunately, her attention had been fixed on the leader, and she was prepared. If she hadn't stopped immediately and secretly observed, she might have been discovered by a few people who were hiding.

Nanxiang carried light power, landed on the roof lightly, and then hid behind the roof to wait and see the changes in the situation.

…………

The courtyard is brightly lit, it is a traditional Japanese-style pattern, one stone and one tree, one spring and one pond, one island and one hall, and the arrangement is very Zen. The maple leaves are turning red, and they have fallen into the stream and flow down the spring. Coupled with a round of Mid-Autumn Festival full moon in the sky, such a scenery is really beautiful.

In the courtyard, there were bursts of singing, everyone gathered on the island in the middle of the lake, Yongjing Yongquan, Yongfeng Yongyue, laughter and laughter, from the family crest of those guards, it should be the people of the Tsutsui family.

Now standing in the middle of the crowd and singing a song, it is a seven or eight-year-old boy, who is shorter than Shota, and has a milky Kansai accent, but it is a pity that Nanxiang is too far away to hear it.

At the end of the song, the crowd did not hesitate to give praise and encouragement, but the child seemed very shy, and hurried back to the crowd with a red face, hiding behind a young man in a shaved monk's robe, like a little mouse who only looked around with his eyes slipped.

"Uncle, I want to ...... I'm going to pee......" he whispered, blushing.

"Let Ichiro take you." The young man whispered softly, "I'm sorry Fujikatsumaru." Today is a waka party to admire the moon, and there are people from other families, so I can't walk away. ”

"Hmm." Fujikatsumaru nodded obediently, then hid in the crowd, ran to one of the guards beside him, and whispered to him.

The guards respectfully took Fujikatsumaru and left, stepped on the stone steps on the lake, and came to a short distance from the hiding place of Nanxiang.

The guard Ichiro was obviously a little reluctant, and the short time Fujikatsumaru entered the house and left Kyo, he looked back at the center of the lake from time to time, and absentmindedly whistled to the tune of the waka, but he did not notice the approach of the god of death.

The cold light jumped.

Blood splattered!

Ichiro didn't even feel anyone else's approach, he only felt a chill in his throat, and then the whole world darkened. Only then did he seem to remember his duty, and regret suddenly welled up in his heart—even though it was already a heart that was about to stop beating.

"Less...... Young Master ......"

…………

As soon as Fujikatsumaru went out, he was immediately knocked unconscious and taken away. Six figures burst out and began to run wildly outward. It wasn't until a remote dark corner of the city wall that everyone stopped to rest.

"I really didn't expect to catch this kid Fujikatsumaru so easily."

"If it weren't for the Mid-Autumn Festival's song meeting, this kid would have lived in a simple place, how could you and I have such an opportunity? If you want me to say, Mr. Matsunaga, your arrangement is amazing! ”

"Shut up!" The leader shouted in a deep voice, "'Willow'! When performing tasks, you must not reveal your identity and call each other by code names, don't you have a long memory?! ”

"Yes...... I'm sorry, Brother Song! The man behind him was immediately silent, not daring to say more. The other person had no choice but to help him open the topic, "Brother Song, this kid Fujikatsumaru, why don't we just kill him with a knife, wouldn't it be easy?" ”

"You know what?" The 'Song' snorted coldly, "Shunaki Tsutsui died early, and the huge Yamato Kingdom was all returned to Fujikatsumaru, a kid who didn't have any hair." Although his uncle Shunzheng has no two hearts and tries his best to assist, are you really a monolith within the Tsutsui family? ”

"You mean—"

"If Fujikatsumaru dies, the person who takes over the Tsutsui family must be Tsutsui Shunmasa, and with his means, it will be easier to integrate and purge the Tsutsui family. If Fujikatsumaru dies, it will not be of any benefit to us, and in comparison, it will be more beneficial to us. ”

"I see!' Brother Song's brother is really clever. ”

'Song' snorted coldly, and he didn't know if he was laughing at the Tsutsui family or himself: "Clever calculation...... Hmph, after all, there is still not enough strength. If I am a strong soldier and a strong horse, why do I need to go to Tiger Mountain for the sake of the tiger? Now I can only live under the fence of Miyoshi's house, and I can only breathe on people......"

As he spoke, there was a chaotic sound from the street, and the firelight began to jump, and the Tsutsui family seemed to have discovered Ichiro's death and began to set out to find Fujikatsumaru's whereabouts.

"They found out." 'Song' said, "Get out of town quickly!" ”

The six of them were about to climb over the wall and go out of the city, but a slender figure suddenly jumped down from the city wall, and the "willow" with the hostages behind him only felt a light on his shoulders, and Fujikatsumaru had already been taken away. The man put the child behind him and said in a playful tone, "Matsunaga Xiu, huh?" I've admired the name for a long time - but the kid, let's stay. ”

Nan Xiang smiled.
