The three thatched huts sit quietly in the woodland, and the thatch on the roof is covered with a thin layer of hoarfrost, which slowly begins to melt in the early morning sun, turning into crystal droplets, quietly sliding down and dripping on a thick layer of fallen leaves outside. ◢ with ◢ dream ◢ small ◢ .lā

It was as quiet as if it was uninhabited, but when Long Tao stepped on the creaking fallen leaves and came to the front of the house, several agile figures quickly flashed out from the surrounding trees and bushes, and surrounded him.

"Yoshi-sama is here!"

A surprised female voice sounded.

"Xiao Aya, Zhu Juan, do you miss me?"

Long Tao hugged the two bustiest among them and kissed them fiercely.

"I miss you!" Aya squeezed into his arms, "Lord Yi has been studying for a month this time, can you miss you?" ”

The secret ninjutsu in the house is poisonous, slashing, ghost scheme, and a thousand birds.

Although Poison Slash is a sword secret technique, its principle is to attach energy to the sword, slash the opponent and destroy their body functions and reactions, producing an effect similar to poisoning.

Ghost Stratagem is a military skill that greatly reduces the morale of enemy legions. Morale is an important attribute in this world, but it is a group attribute, which can only be manifested in a legion of many people, and a single character does not have this attribute. On the battlefield, when the morale of a certain regiment drops to zero, the soldiers will disperse.

After Long Tao spent twenty days learning to poison the slash, he once went out of the village in the name of doing a task to mess with the women for a few days, and by the way, he subdued the four mountain diving women who were restrained by them.

He came out this time, and he had just learned the ghost scheme in thirty days.

"Did any of your old friends come to visit this time?" Long Tao asked.

Zhu Juan smiled: "There are no old friends, but there are a few new friends, they have been haunting this area a few days ago, as if they were tracking something, and then they ran into us, and they started to let us catch them." ”

"Oh? Is it something you haven't seen before? Long Tao pushed open the door, "That must be from the outside." ”

Five seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls, wearing only underwear, looked at Long Tao who pushed the door in panic.

"Sure enough, it's the girl who smells outside." Long Tao recognized one of the girls, "Don't be afraid, we have all been in the same village, and I will definitely cherish you in the future." ”

After one night, Long Tao's female ninja team expanded to sixteen people.

"Lord Yi, are you in a hurry to go back this time?"

"No, we're going out for a walk this time."

"Really? That's great! Where are you going? ”

"Go to Itsukushima."

……

The wheel of history has moved forward according to the established trajectory, and there has been no change in the slightest because of the arrival of Long Tao.

In the twenty-fourth year of Japanese astronomy, in October 1555 of the Western calendar, the Battle of Itsukushima came as scheduled.

In this battle, Tao Qingxian, a powerful minister who was in the limelight of the Ouchi family, led more than 20,000 troops to conquer the expanding Maori family, but was introduced into the Maori family step by step.

On the narrow waterway on the inner side of Itsukushima, Maori Yuan defeated nearly 30,000 troops with more than 4,000 people, and beheaded Tao Qingxian.

The success or failure of this battle has a lot to do with the terrain, Tao Qingxian's army is crowded in one place, unable to spread out, and does not give full play to the numerical advantage at all, the number of people has become his Achilles' heel, many soldiers are trampling each other to death, the defeat is successful, and the chaotic army is out of control.

This situation of winning more with less is similar to the surprise attack of Oda Nobunaga, who later rewrote the history of Japan's Warring States period.

Murakami's naval forces also played a crucial role in this battle, and without their sea blockade, it would have been impossible for the 4,000 men of Mori Motosaku to swallow nearly 30,000 men.

Of course, at the beginning, no one was optimistic about the Maori side, including Murakami's water army. When Mori Moto asked Noshima for help, he could only obtain Murakami's consent on the condition of "borrowing troops for only one day".

For Maori Yuan, it is enough to get the help of Murakami's water army with the "Butterfly Array".

And Murakami Bukit never thought that their "one day of sending troops" would really help the Maori family create a miracle.

At this moment, the war at sea is over, and the Mori family is chasing the routed Ouchi army, while the Murakami naval army is on its triumphant way home.

Crane Qiao stood on a customs boat, looking at Itsukushima in the distance, the sound of the battlefield gradually faded away, and her mind seemed to fall into some kind of memory, and her expression was in a trance.

It was on that island that she was deeply fascinated by the man, and then on the ship that sent him to Beijing, she was completely conquered by him.

"Lord Yi, where are you now?" The crane whispered in his heart.

"Sister Crane, what are you thinking?" Shino's voice came from behind.

"Hee-hee...... Looking at Itsukushima in a daze, I guess I must be thinking about that Ashikaga Yoshiji-sama! "It's naughty Komatsu.

Tsuru smiled sweetly and didn't look back at the two.

"Look, that's ...... What is that? ”

Someone on the boat on the left shouted.

"It's a person! A man walked across the sea! ”

Shino also exclaimed: "Really! That man really stepped on the surface of the sea and came over! ”

Komatsu exclaimed, "It's a little familiar, ah, it's so handsome!" It's Ashikaga Yoshiji! Sister Tsuru, it's Ashikaga Yoshiji-sama! ”

The crane's beautiful eyes were covered with a layer of moisture, but the smile on the corner of his mouth widened even more, it was him, of course she knew that he was coming! Who else but him can walk on the water so freely?

The entire fleet stopped, and Long Tao Zhuo stood in front of Murakami Buji's large ship, and said loudly: "Leader Murakami, don't come unharmed, congratulations on your victorious return!" ”

"Haha...... Sure enough, it's Mr. Ashikaga! Murakami Takeyoshi's laughter was still so bold, and his sharp eyes met Long Tao's, "Haha, Mr. Ashikaga is really a strange person in the world, why haven't you seen him for a few months, and become a ninja again?" ”

"It's just doing whatever you want, wandering around, making the leader laugh!"

"Haha...... I wonder if Mr. Ashikaga will become a pirate in the future? ”

"Who says this?" Long Tao smiled slightly, "But I'm here today to ask the leader of the village for a pirate." ”

"Oh? Who is it? ”

"I want to take the crane girl away, and ask the leader to fulfill it!"

"Haha...... Ah He's heart has been on you since the last time she said goodbye, and even if you don't come, she will come to you sooner or later! Mr. Ashikaga, you need to treat her well! Her boat is over there, you go over there. Murakami Takeyoshi waved his hand and shouted, "Set sail, let's go back!" ”

"Thank you, Boss Murakami!"

Long Tao bowed and waited for the fleet to pass before walking towards the crane's ship step by step.

"Wow! Wow...... The appearance of Lord Yi is going to be fascinating! ”

"yes, it's like a god!"

Shino and Komatsu hugged each other, their eyes full of stars, and they craned their necks to look at Long Tao walking on the sea.

The crane's delicate body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Long Tao lightly touched the sea, jumped on the boat, landed in front of the crane, and took her into his arms.

The crane muttered, it was difficult to control himself, and he took the initiative to offer a fragrant kiss.

"Oh, no." Shino covered his cheeks with both hands, "This...... People are so shy to see it, but I really want to see it! ”

"Yes, if only I could be kissed like that by Lord Yoshi." Komatsu grinned.

After a long time, the two separated, Long Tao stared at the crane and said with a smile: "Go to Itsukushima Town first, okay?" ”

"Everything is arranged by Lord Yi."

"Those two are the Shino and Komatsu you mentioned, right?"

Although the two girls had red cheeks, they still saluted Long Tao generously, and they looked bold and lively.

"Yes, the two of them and I grew up together since we were children, and we have never been separated." Tsuru nodded.

"Never separated?" Long Tao smiled at the crane and said, "Then don't be separated from us in the future, right?" ”

Crane smiled: "As long as the adults are willing, I think they will not be able to ask for it." ”

"Is Lord Yi really willing to take us in?" The two girls asked excitedly.

"Of course!"

Even in modern times, Japan is still a society where men are inferior to women, not to mention that in that hierarchical Warring States turmoil, women's status is even more humble, and it is already a very happy thing for them to be able to attach themselves to a good man.

……

Itsukushima no Machi, inside a ryokan.

On the tatami mat of a large bedroom, the bedding was scattered all over the ground, and the three girls were lying delicately and weakly in Long Tao's arms, reminiscing about the blissful impact brought by double cultivation, and a crisp female voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

"Yoshi-sama, I caught two female ninjas who came to snoop."

The three of them were taken aback and sat up.

Long Tao smiled: "Don't be afraid, it's my personal ninja guard, and I will introduce you to you in the future." Then he turned to the door and said, "Bring them here." ”

The three girls were startled again, and hurriedly found underwear to put on, while Long Tao sat shirtless in the bed.

After a while, the door was opened, and Aya and Zhu Juan walked in with two female ninjas smiling.

Long Tao looked up and was taken aback.

"Kaede! Chrysanthemum! ”
