Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Imposter Ieyasu
"Really...... Can't stand you! I'm still so narcissistic when I grow up! ”
Sanada Nobuyuki held his forehead a little helplessly, and sure enough, some things can't be changed when they grow up, such as someone's consistent narcissism......
"Good! Next...... Brother, you'd better stop the bleeding as soon as possible, this wound will really kill if it is not properly treated! I'm going to have to go after Ieyasu, even though there's a man who is several times more terrible than me is chasing him......"
Sanada Yukimura stretched his waist up a lot, and as he walked forward, he turned his head and said to his brother, who was still leaning against the wall behind him.
“…… Yukimura, I have one thing to tell you about this! ”
Sanada Nobuyuki suddenly stopped his younger brother, who was about to leave, and the expression on his face became serious, as if he had something terrible to say.
"Huh?"
Sanada Yukimura's stretched hands were not yet lowered, he put one hand on the arm of the other, turned around and asked curiously.
What exactly is it? Can the always cautious big brother be nervous like this?
While Yukimura and the Nobuyuki brothers were discussing the family mission, Tokugawa Ieyasu had successfully escaped from the watchtower where many people were fighting, and he was panting and leaning against the wall.
All the way, he probed his brain, and only after confirming that there was no one did he dare to continue to move forward, even if he had no physical strength, he never stopped, which is why there is no one around now.
"Escape...... If you escape here, there shouldn't be anyone to find you, right? ”
Tokugawa Ieyasu gasped as he leaned against the wall and said to himself, with his familiarity with the Tokugawa shogunate, he had fled to a considerable distance from the observation tower.
There is a gate here that leads straight to the outside, and after a while, he only needs to go out and bring in 100,000 Tokugawa troops, facing the invincible Tokugawa army, no matter what kind of demons and monsters the other party is, he can only be captured.
"I ...... I'm not going to spare those three! I'm going to wipe them out with the 100,000-strong army of Tokugawa! Right...... Go back to the city and transfer troops now! ”
Finally had a chance to breathe, because he had no scruples, Tokugawa Ieyasu said everything he thought in his heart, and his face couldn't help but show a treacherous expression of joy, as long as he could get out, he would immediately transfer 100,000 Tokugawa troops to raze this place to the ground!
"That's impossible!"
Suddenly, a voice that was spoken casually but sounded in the ears without any doubt sounded in front of me.
“…… Hey? ”
Tokugawa Ieyasu tried to round his small eyes the size of mung beans, and he subconsciously rubbed them, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.
Because the Devil's Eye Knife was leaning against the wall boredly, as if waiting for his arrival, but...... How is this possible?!
People who are not familiar with the Tokugawa shogunate will not find this place at all, unless ...... This guy followed him all the time, and then didn't choose to show up until this time!
"Your life must end here!"
The Devil's Eye Knife turned his head and looked at the Tokugawa Ieyasu in front of him with a smile, oops...... I'm really embarrassed, but since I met Uncle Ben, there is no chance to escape!
“…… Ahh......h How did you end up here? "Nine-zero, look
Tokugawa Ieyasu's eyes widened, and he looked at the ghost-eyed knife in front of him in disbelief, what should he do now? Is it really going to be explained here?
"Although I have no grievances with you, but you just accept your fate, besides, before you die...... Tell me, where is Ieyasu? ”
The Devil's Eye Knife turned around and faced this fat Humpty Dumpty, rarely, with a meaningful smile on his face, he asked condescendingly.
"Ah...... What are you talking about? I'm Ieyasu! ”
Tokugawa Ieyasu's face suddenly turned blue, and his expression was a little panicked, and he stretched out his finger to himself with a nervous face, and said categorically.
"I don't mean you! What I want to know is, where is the real Ieyasu? ”
The Devil's Eye Knife lowered his head and glanced at Tokugawa Ieyasu, then flipped the long knife in his hand, grabbed the handle with one hand, and spread out the blade of the long knife with the other, and asked with a smile.
"You...... What nonsense are you talking about? I'm Ieyasu! ”
Tokugawa Ieyasu was so frightened by the temperament of the ghost-eyed mad knife that he sat directly on the ground, and he subconsciously stepped back, still quibbling in his mouth.
"Don't pretend anymore! At the Battle of Sekigahara, General Ieyasu I saw across the heavy army was not you! ”
The ghost-eyed mad knife quietly looked at the fat Tokugawa Ieyasu in front of him, and denied his identity without hesitation, the person in front of him was not the same person he saw four years ago, not to mention anything else, the momentum of the world's overlord will definitely not be fake!
"You...... Wildly...... What nonsense! I...... I was there at the time......"
Tokugawa Ieyasu's face was full of shock at this time, but he still stubbornly refused to admit it, and at the same time began to recall the situation in the Battle of Sekigahara four years ago, since this person said that he had met Ieyasu Shogun, then he should have a faint impression.
Suddenly, a tall figure in bright red armor appeared in Tokugawa Ieyasu's mind, and at this moment he was like a thunderbolt.
"Ah...... I remember! In the Battle of Sekigahara, a man in bright red armor single-handedly slaughtered the 100,000 troops of Tokugawa and rushed straight to the base camp where the shogun was! The pair of crimson eyes...... That's right! It's you! ”
Tokugawa Ieyasu's eyes widened again, he opened his mouth wide and exclaimed, the unruly figure in his mind and the person in front of him gradually overlapped.
There could be no mistake, he had only seen those crimson eyes grow so big twice, once four years ago and once now.
The Ghost Eye Crazy Knife didn't speak, just looked at him quietly, and the long knife in his hand was constantly raised and lowered in the palm of his hand, as if waiting for him to take the initiative to explain.
"Wow, bow...... Please don't kill me! ”
After confirming that the person in front of him was the man who was still in and out of the 100,000 Tokugawa army four years ago, Tokugawa Ieyasu had completely dispelled the idea of escaping, and he blocked it in front of him with both hands, and pleaded in horror.
"Bye...... Come on...... Please...... I...... That's right! I'm a fake Tokugawa Ieyasu! I'm just a shadow warrior, don't kill me! ”
Seeing that the Devil's Eye Crazy Knife was getting closer and closer, the shadow warrior who pretended to be Tokugawa Ieyasu couldn't hold his breath anymore, he held his head in both hands and explained honestly.
"I ...... I haven't seen the real Ieyasu shogun either, so I don't know where he is! The order given from the beginning was to disguise Ieyasu-sama in front of outsiders, so that his image as a rich man would be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people......"
The Ghost Eye Blade suddenly stopped, not because the wording of the shadow warrior in front of him satisfied him, but because behind this shadow warrior, another person suddenly appeared.
This person seems to be the same as him, firmly following behind the imposter Ieyasu in front of him, but the purpose is unknown.
