"Hmm——!!"

The lord of the country also seemed to see the other party's eyes, and suddenly his face turned slightly red, and he turned his head directly to the side and raised a sleeve to block it. But she didn't seem to be angry, she was just simply shy, and she didn't want the other party to see her indecent appearance when she ate.

However, as a guy who has been pointed out many times as not being slender enough, Mu Xiu is indeed a person who does not know what to do in a sense, so he didn't notice such details at all.

So the boy just blinked slightly in confusion and smiled a smile that seemed a little strange.

Because he felt a little strange about the way the Lord was behaving at the moment, especially when he remembered the taste of the rabbit meat he had eaten last night.

- Is it really that delicious?

Although he has always paid attention to the heat of baking, he has neither burnt nor baked paste, so it can be said that he grasped it just right. But again, there was neither salt nor MSG, and he didn't think it could taste so good. Therefore, after considering how pampered the lord of the country is, he was a little skeptical that the other party would be able to swallow this kind of thing.

But now it seems...... He felt that maybe many of his previous impressions of this young girl country lord were incorrect? Maybe I imagined that many of the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the upper nobles were preconceived as a matter of course?

Even if the evolution of brain domain development has begun, it is impossible for people's way of thinking to change because of this, and what kind of divergence should there have been, and what kind of divergence there is still has now.

So it was very inexplicable, Mu Xiu couldn't help but think of the food treatment he had eaten in Okazaki City before: a bowl of rice, a small fish two fingers wide, a small dish of pickled radish, a cup of boiled wild vegetables and a small bowl of miso soup...... This is true every day, and there are only two meals a day.

At that time, he was still complaining that the girl in front of him was too stingy, but in retrospect, the Ashigaru soldiers who were in charge of monitoring him at that time always seemed to be envious and jealous......

And just when Mu Xiu's thinking diverged, Imagawa Yoshimoto also peeked at him, and he was also looking at the young man in front of him, and he was also wondering about something. It's just that as the head of a country, even if she is embarrassed now, she can't change her essence.

The lord of the country paid much more attention than Mu Xiu, but what amazed her the most was the unscientific resilience of the other party-

Obviously, when the rain stopped yesterday and just woke up, he was still barely able to resume his movements, but in the evening this guy was able to catch rabbits everywhere.

And after nightfall, before he was too sleepy to fall asleep, the other party seemed basically harmless on the surface, and only the pale face caused by excessive blood loss...... And the feeling at that time was that the other party looked more like he had been sick and weak all year round, rather than seriously injured.

However, when she woke up now, her thinking gradually became clearer, only to find that the other party had completely looked like she had never been injured. Not only can there be no blood stains and wounds on his body, but even his face has returned to normal, which is too good to be better-

At least even the few elites in his Imagawa army, the soldiers who specialize in the soldiers, are not as healthy as him.

As for the peasants who can't even feed themselves, ronins, poor samurai, etc., it goes without saying.

“……”

Faintly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he subconsciously thought of some of the words that Matsudaira Motoyasu had said not long ago, and the lord of the country couldn't help but have an extremely ridiculous thought: The person in front of him shouldn't really be a person, right?

But then she shook her head gently, and the inexplicable emotion that had just appeared in her eyes turned into a determined color.

The current situation does not allow her to be cranky and suspicious, and the other party is indeed the only person she can rely on, plus the previous events can completely prove that the other party has no bad intentions towards her...... That's why the girl doesn't care so much, or she really wishes that the person in front of her has inhuman power and can help her get out of trouble as soon as possible.

……

……

In the wee hours of the morning, before dawn, there is always a time when it is darkest.

The night around was pitch black, and the silhouette of the mountains and forests was full of shadows, looking very terrifying. It's just that the cliff behind the two of them is very strong and relatively flat, plus Mu Xiu deliberately chopped a few knives and trimmed it, but now it is slightly sunken in, forming a good place to shelter from the wind and rain.

In addition, a vigorous fire was burning not far ahead, illuminating the darkness around and emitting a powerful heat. There is also a swordsman beside him who slashes people without blood and sharpens iron like clay, so people subconsciously feel much more at ease.

- Even in the deep mountains and old forests at night, there are always some strange noises, and the lord of the country does not feel much fear.

Imagawa Yoshimoto was now holding a small crude wooden bowl, taking small sips of hot water in it, staring at the burning firewood and listening to the sound of crackling firewood bursting in the flames.

Until yesterday, she was the most powerful name in Tokaido, which ruled Suruga and Enoe, and was preparing to go to Rakuro to establish herself as the supremacy in this era of great war and chaos. However, now, he is so embarrassed and depressed, even if he goes back to regroup, I am afraid that this time things will become a stain for life.

At the thought of this, the lord of the country was so angry and angry that his body trembled slightly, and because of this, he was even more murderous about the "mountain monkey of Owari" - but no matter what, she first needed to return to the place where the Imagawa clan had firmly grasped it, such as Suruga or Mikawa, and return to her own territory.

“……”

With this thought, the girl lord subconsciously looked at someone next to him who hugged the sword and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

According to the other side, the current situation is unclear, so it is necessary to determine which side is in control of the situation before it can continue to operate.

If the Imagawa army had been the first to go up the mountain after dawn, everything would have been solved. But if it's the Oda Army, I'm afraid that the next step is to prepare for a direct escape...... And because of the heavy rain yesterday, the reason why the Imagawa army's main camp was directly defeated, so neither Imagawa Yoshimoto nor Mu Xiu was too optimistic about the former possibility.

The lord of the country also seemed to remember how unbearable his army was, so he secretly gritted his teeth and was ruthless, if he let himself go back, he must train those rabble well.

However, she paid attention to it, did not make any sound, just gently put down the wooden bowl in her hand, and then hugged her legs in distress. She looked at Mu Xiu from time to time, and wanted to say something several times, but when the words came to her mouth, she bit her lip unwillingly.

To be honest, the girl is a little unconfident about the next step, and is even more worried that she will be abandoned......

Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, arrogance is.

Time passed slowly, and no one could speak, only the crackling and crackling of burning firewood and the sound of each other's breathing. The surroundings were quiet, and slowly the Lord of the Kingdom felt that the scene in front of her had become a little dazed, and her eyes were becoming more and more hazy.

“……！！”

In a daze, and she didn't know how much time had passed, she seemed to hear something strange in her ears, and suddenly a spirit raised her head.

All the drowsiness is gone.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and the fire in the fire was much smaller, and at the same time, Mu Xiu, who was opposite, had already stood up directly, walked over and stepped on the fire in two steps, and said expressionlessly: "Prepare, someone is coming up the mountain." ”

There was no need for any more instructions at all, and the body of the lord of the country suddenly came to strength: "Who is it?" Isn't it Yuanyasu? She looked around and saw that the scenery was still a little difficult to see, and no matter how hard she listened, she could not hear any movement.

Suddenly, the girl was a little surprised.

"I don't think so, your own formation has collapsed, and you have been killed by Oda Shinna and others who seized the opportunity to rush and kill, I guess there is not much hope-"

Mu Xiu, who successfully combined the ability of electromagnetic wave positioning with the domineering ability of seeing and hearing, greatly enhanced the ability and range of perception, and ruthlessly snuffed out the last trace of luck of the lord of the country. He could clearly feel that between the foot of the mountain and the halfway point of the mountain, there were multiple groups of men and horses with obvious hostility, and they were searching in a dragnet style.

However, he did feel that if someone came to save them, it should be the other troops of the Imagawa army. However, it is estimated that it will take half a day to receive the news recently, and it will probably not be able to come here until tomorrow and tomorrow if it is blocked and contained.

The Lord of the Kingdom was obviously a little flustered, and she bit her lower lip and looked at Mu Xiu, wanting to see what he was saying.

The young man squinted his eyes slightly, as if he was feeling something, and then said in a relaxed tone: "I know a route, Lord of the Kingdom, you can prepare, and I will take you down the mountain...... Next, as long as you avoid the pursuit of the Oda army, return to the Mikawa side as quickly as possible or join up with the nearby Imagawa army, then there will be no problem. ”

"Is this really possible?" The black straight girl didn't seem to believe that things could really be so easy.

Mu Xiu just pouted when he saw this, if it wasn't for the mission, he would run as much as he wanted, I don't know how relaxed and comfortable it was, at least an Owari Oda was really not in his eyes.

Anyone who has only played the game knows that breaking through a level or something is never a difficulty, only when the mission requires that you have to protect an object that has no combat effectiveness and is easily injured and injured to break through the level together, it is a nightmare......

If he hadn't been worried yesterday that the Honjin wouldn't be able to react even for a buffer time, and that he wouldn't even be able to hold back the hands and feet of the Oda army, and that he wouldn't be able to run far even if he took the lord with him, he wouldn't have had any interest in stopping an army of 2,000 men alone—even if the army on the other side was a feudal era, most of them were still peasant troops.

Having said that, it was also the reason for the rainstorm, otherwise he would have planted explosives or thought of some other way to directly overthrow the incoming Oda army. It's a pity that ordinary explosives don't have waterproof functions, and high-grade explosives not only need to be expensive, but also because they are not sure in advance which direction the Oda army is attacking, at least they need to exchange for the weight that can defend against three directions......

Even if he is willing to bleed, he does not have enough manpower and time to plant a bomb, but it will first arouse the vigilance and suspicion of his own side.

And when the war started, the torrential rain made him unconditioned to use firearms, after all, the upper limit of the rate of fire was completely insufficient for the speed at which he could swing his sword.

As for the grenade or something, it is even more meaningless, throwing it away can't change the fact that the sword around you is coming, and throwing it close is simply with the determination to die together......

As if remembering some not very good memories, Mu Xiu suddenly pulled off his face and solemnly warned the lord of the country: "From now on, I will protect you, but you must listen to me......"
