“…… Princess, I just heard a report from the scouts who came back, and it is said that just yesterday, a farmer in the neighborhood saw the figure of the head of the Imagawa family on this road. ”

Niwa Nagahide had dismounted quickly at this time, stretched out his slender and beautiful hand, picked up the water bladder and drank it himself, and then poured all the remaining water on the horse's body to help it further cool down.

She turned her head and said to Oda Shinna, "Although those farmers have never seen Imagawa Yoshimoto, she should be the only one who has such suspicions about that kind of expensive clothing...... Based on the reports from other squads in the past few days and a few contact battles, we shouldn't have taken the wrong path. ”

Although he was saying such "good news", Niwa Nagahide didn't have much joy, and his eyes showed a trace of solemnity.

Because this means that soon the real battle will come, maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and you and others will have to face that monster whose power is unheard of and as fast as lightning! As long as I think back to the situation of that day, this intellectual and elegant beauty can't help but feel that she is going to shiver fiercely.

It's not that she hasn't heard rumors of cultivators such as Onmyoji and Shrine Maiden, and she also knows that although there are very few people in that category, there are indeed some people who have incomprehensible powers, and the ninja who looked like a little girl who came to help her and others a few days ago has also mastered some ninjutsu that outsiders can't imagine.

There is also the fact that for example, the witch of the Yamato court is also inseparable from mysticism.

However, after all, I have never witnessed it with my own eyes, and I have never heard of anyone who can reach that terrifying level simply by using the power of the flesh-body - shouldn't a true cultivator have mastered some technique or cultivated the spiritual realm, why is it such a bloody hand-tearing school?!

It's still the kind of horror that every second is the air, and the violent flow of iron fists catches whoever is second!

However, Oda Shinna's eyes flashed with amazement, and she looked at the part of the surrounding hillside that met the surrounding flat land, as if she was carefully observing the foothills covered by the thick layer of loose sediment, as if she were wandering and contemplating something else.

After about a minute, the girl seemed to be muttering to herself, as if asking someone, "So did the other teams arrive at the scheduled location as scheduled?" Is it possible for us to intercept Imagawa Yoshimoto's retreat before she escapes back to Mikawa? ”

It's just that in addition to Niwa Nagahide next to her, there are only Shibata Katsuya and Maeda Inu Chiyo, so although this question has no clear direction, as long as you are not a fool, you can definitely hear who she is confirming with.

Shibata Katsuie did not speak.

Maeda Inu Chiyo looked at Niwa Nagahide.

"This ......" Niwa Nagahide quickly calculated, and then said in an extremely serious tone: "They are very fast, but they don't know the specific route, so they are gradually being caught up by us, and according to the current situation, we should be able to form an encirclement when they just cross the border of Mikawa-"

"Crossing the border of the Three Rivers?" The tea-haired Ji Daimyo frowned unabashedly, she was actually very aware of the current situation, and she also knew when she would be able to catch up with the target, so she asked this question, just to make herself feel more at ease to confirm the steps.

But it seems that Niwa Nagahide's answer is quite a small error from the answer she expected.

Because her prediction should be able to surround the other party before he returns to Sanhe.

"Actually, it's between Owari and Mikawa, but it was taken away not long ago and became the territory of the Imagawa family...... Niwa Nagahide very calmly pointed out the reason why Oda Shinna subconsciously made a mistake.

Suddenly, Shinna Oda showed a very complicated expression.

After being silent for a while, she decisively waved her hand and gave an order: "Camp in place, and rest for two hours...... Tonight marched overnight, continuing at the current pace. ”

Although because of the wrong estimate, I felt that the situation that was nine out of ten was changed again, so I felt anxious. But Oda Shinna decisively did not blindly seek speed, but chose to continue to push steadily and steadily, pressing step by step.

Niwa Nagahide praised this very much, but she hesitated for a moment, and took two small steps to get closer to her lord, although she was still elegant and calm, "Princess, although I also think that only by doing this can we redeem the disadvantage, but what we have to face next is ...... That ghost......

Maybe she was afraid of affecting the current high morale, so she deliberately lowered her voice and said.

However, Oda Shinna retorted without thinking: "I have already made up my mind, you don't need to say it anymore, I won't despise that "person", but I will definitely not be afraid of his existence. ”

Her eyes were very blazing at this moment, as if the flame of willpower was burning in it.

"Even if it's a ghost, it can't easily block my path - it's not the rainy day before, it's not the narrow terrain, and the plain of Nowei is open and flat. As long as they are surrounded by our army and suppressed with muskets and crossbows, even the ghosts and gods can only die on the spot! ”

Niwa Nagahide opened his mouth, but finally he could only sigh and reappear with a confused but elegant smile.

She herself didn't have any good solutions, and before she solved Imagawa Yoshimoto, the difficulties of the Oda family were not overcome. She just reminded her of the links that might go wrong out of her duty as a courtier.

But when her lord has really made a decision, she can only do her best to help her lord fulfill that request.

……

……

Time flies.

If there is a book, it is long, and if there is no book, it is short.

During these days of escaping with the Lord of the Kingdom, Mu Xiu deeply understood what it meant to learn in practice. For example, even if he does not rely on electromagnetic ability to sense magnetic fields, and does not have the ability to cheat like a compass, he can determine the direction through the changing position and movement trajectory of the sun, moon, and stars.

Even by looking at the position of the stars in the sky or the height of the sun, he can roughly determine the specific time of day.

And in the process of hunting various animals as rations, he has now mastered some superficial methods of tracking the traces of prey, and thus extended the rudimentary technology of anti-tracking - plus as a modern person, he has received all kinds of strange and diverse information baptism, so that his mind is broad-minded and inferences.

Therefore, many aspects have been taken into account, whether it is forging traces or erasing traces, he has become more and more handy, so that the Oda army that pursues him behind him will be miserable.

After all, science and technology are the primary productive forces, although this ability is not science, but it is also a technology, and it is roughly estimated that it is still 500 years ahead in depth, and it must be able to beat the natives of the Warring States period to the ground. If Oda Shinna and the others had enough time, they wouldn't have been misled by him, but the current situation is that both sides are rushing for time.

If you make a slight mistake once, you will have to spend several times as much energy afterwards to regain the lost time.

Unconsciously, both sides have entered the final stage of the sprint, although there is no real meeting yet, but whether it is Mu Xiu or Oda Shinna, they have inexplicably made quite the same choice one after another.

At this moment, looking at the sun in the sky sinking in the west, Mu Xiu, who realized that he had little time left, also subconsciously accelerated his pace. On the vast plain, only a swift figure could be seen charging rapidly, almost dragging a cloud of smoke and dust behind him.

The essence of seeing and hearing is actually the "power of hearing", but it is not as simple as the literal meaning, you can generally understand it as perception, hearing, vision, intuition, and so on. Lord of the Nation, you have actually mastered the introduction of this ability now, and as long as you continue to exercise, you will eventually continue to strengthen and improve......"

But he didn't stop teaching, and he continued to tell his understanding of domineering and swordsmanship to the black straight girl in his arms.

And Imagawa Yoshimoto didn't know whether he was giving up on himself or had become accustomed to it, so he quietly let him hold it and listen carefully to the fleeting words in the whistling wind. She gritted her teeth lightly and asked, "What about the armed color?" What do you mean by this? ”

"This is a bit more demanding, but a strong belief, momentum, or a firm heart can be the key...... You have to know what you want to do, you have to believe in what you can do, and a strong belief and momentum, or a strong will, will be transformed into real power when you need it—"

Mu Xiu thought for a moment, and then quickly organized the language and said his experience together.

But his words came to an abrupt halt without warning, and even his running behavior came to an abrupt halt. The feeling of stopping at high speed made the lord feel sick for no reason, and her mind was dizzy, but then she heard the sound of the river rushing in front of her.

"I feel that this place seems to be a little familiar......" Mu Xiu sighed softly, looked at the sunset that was already setting in the west, and then carefully put down the lord of the country in his arms.

Imagawa Yoshimoto regained her footing, quickly tidied up her clothes and her hair, which was slightly messy by the wind, she frowned and glanced around, her little face was confused for less than two seconds, and then it turned into a look of sudden realization:

"This is the Nonwei Plain, the previous battlefield, our family's main formation is located here...... After crossing the river and continuing east, it is the domain of the Imagawa family, which is mine—no, this is already our territory, and we seem to have left the territory of Owari......"

Her tone suddenly became excited.

Mu Xiu touched his nose, and while urging the heat current in his body to regain his vitality, he indifferently poured a handful of cold water on the head of the excited lord: "Even if this is your territory, there are no actual soldiers to guard and patrol, and the branch city has not been established, what is the difference between it and being in the wild?" ”

The lord of the country pouted dissatisfiedly, glanced at Mu Xiu, and then muttered in a low voice that he could only hear: "It's our territory, but you are still my retainer......

Then she also faced the reality and said, "Then hurry up and cross the river!" As long as you continue to the east, you will soon be able to reach Kamigo Castle, which is only a small town in Mikawa, but Owari definitely does not have the ability to go there deeply......"

"It's not that simple, and it's too late now-"

Mu Xiu lightly interrupted the girl's suggestion, he looked at the horizon in the distance, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "I'm afraid I need to kill a way." ”
