“…… You might as well ...... Kill me with a knife......"

Imagawa Yoshimoto hugged the two swords tightly and curled up in Mu Xiu's arms with a limp. She muttered to herself, falling into a serious state of self-denial and self-doubt, but her voice was as thin as a mosquito in the high-speed moving whistling.

So this is destined for a long time for her next "torture".

The environment around her that was rapidly reversing all showed how fast Mu Xiu, who was now holding her across, how fast she was running, regardless of whether the road under her feet was smooth or simply potholes, and even such a thing as a "road" did not exist.

His figure flashed across the vast field very quickly, and his balance was maintained quite well under such a rapid charge-

Basically, after going down the mountain, a princess hugged him, and ran away with the lord of the country, until now he has been steady all the way, and he doesn't shake it.

Soon, the Barrel Flat behind him had disappeared, and even the Barrel Narrowness Mountain itself was slowly sinking below the horizon.

“……”

Concentrating and concentrating, Mu Xiu carefully felt the feeling of the hot current in his body.

He clearly sensed that there was a special heat, which was constantly running and flowing in his veins with the traction of his breath, circulating into the hundreds of bones in his upper and lower limbs. Everywhere it goes, the muscles, nerves, and other muscles are soaked in hot water and massaged.

It constantly dispels fatigue and restores the vitality of the body.

Besides, he just breathed in and out, and he didn't need to do anything deliberately, and his instinctive breath was already flowing naturally. Although there is no such thing as "endless and endless", if this trend continues, he feels that he will not feel tired if he continues to run for an hour or two or more.

To be honest, even if you raise the speed burst by one or two notches again, it is not impossible, and it can even be said that it is still relatively easy.

It's just that now they have reached a more suspicious speed, which can be said to be beyond the reach of both ancient scouts and modern drag racers. If you continue to accelerate, the physical pressure you will experience will increase accordingly......

Of course, Mu Xiu himself felt that it didn't matter, but the lord of the country who was carried by his princess in his arms and ran away was just the physical fitness of ordinary people, and even the relatively delicate kind, no matter how you look at it, you can't help tossing.

So, just keep it up at that speed.

He thought so distracted in his mind, and then seemed to hear something in the strong wind pressure on his face, so he subconsciously looked down at the girl who was being held by the princess in his arms-

But even if he was as clear as he was, he couldn't hear what the words that had just disappeared in the wind were.

This black and straight girl was now flushed, with tears on her face, and she only knew that she was staring at the road in front of her, not daring to meet Mu Xiu's gaze.

The lord of the kingdom's snow-white teeth gently bit his lower lip, and the whole person seemed to have been broken, not only was his body trembling slightly, but even his eyes had actually begun to bubble in circles, much like mosquito coil eyes in animated comics, and her head was almost steaming.

“？？？”

A series of question marks popped up above Mu Xiu's head like this, slowly rising.

He didn't quite understand why the other party's reaction was so interesting now, wasn't it the same posture when he left the scene directly yesterday? Why didn't you react at that time, or did you say that the situation was critical at the time and there was no time to think about it so much, and now that you have a choice, you will start to think crankily?

"That ......" The young man subconsciously slowed down a little, and the oncoming wind pressure immediately became much friendlier, at least he wouldn't be poured a belly of wind from his mouth.

Feeling the speed of movement slowing down significantly, and hearing someone's voice sound, the lord of the country was like a kitten whose tail had been inadvertently stepped on, and the amplitude of the slight tremor of his body suddenly intensified.

Immediately after, Mu Xiu really hesitated for a moment, but finally asked seriously and cautiously: "How are you feeling now, or- I'll still carry you on my back?" I think you look very uncomfortable......"

"Hmm——!!"

Imagawa Yoshimoto's body first stiffened, and then the whole body became soft, and a puff of green smoke came out of the top of her head exaggeratedly, as if it was a completely broken robot, and her head drooped directly.

Only the eyes that turned into mosquito coils, as well as the shocking red cheeks and even the roots of the ears and neck, all showed that her brain had finally burned out due to the constant overheating.

“……”

Mu Xiu blinked, then tilted his head helplessly, and immediately remembered the conversation with Matsudaira Motoyasu not long ago, he said to himself: "Okay, slender, slender......" Then he couldn't help it, and sighed again.

So, sure enough, the best thing to do now is to pretend that you don't know what to do, silently avoid this embarrassing topic, and gradually get through this adaptation period?

It seems that this is indeed the case, and the deliberate reminder can probably only make the lord of the country of Kuro Nao keep remembering such a shameful fact, and stimulate her own fragile spirit in this regard in her heart over and over again.

Taking a sharp breath in the wind, Mu Xiu silently accelerated his pace to recover his original speed, and by the way, he adjusted his posture with one hand, suppressing the girl's messy black hair that seemed to be blown away by the strong wind pressure at any time.

Then, he narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the end of the horizon ahead, as if he was carefully discerning the direction.

However, at the moment when he had just focused his attention, a strange sense of familiarity suddenly hit him, and before he could react, he immediately saw a strange glitter, unformed string in his vision.

“……！！”

Wait a minute! It's been less than half a month since it disappeared, and the vision has started to attack again?!

In an instant, Mu Xiu's expression suddenly became very ugly.

……

……

At the same time.

Barrel Narrow Mountain, somewhere up the mountainside.

It was a narrow flat land on a mountain, and not far away was a narrow mountain road through which only three people could barely fit in parallel. On the other side is a sturdy mountain wall, and on the other side is a long wood, which is not only dense, but also overgrown with weeds and thorns, and I don't think anyone likes to burrow into it except rabbits.

However, at this moment, the edge of the woods was surrounded by dozens of soldiers wearing armor and armed with swords and guns, and in the innermost circle, it was Oda Shinna and other Ji generals.

It's just that at the same moment, these beautiful generals Ji are all very ugly, because the scene is a bloody astrag Shura field of killing:

The corpses of a dozen musketeers, apparently from the Oda Army not long ago, had now fallen to the ground in an irregular manner, leaving none of them alive on the mountain forever. The blood that flowed out had long since congealed and blackened, but it had soaked almost the surrounding soil - and the characteristics of each corpse were very consistent and distinct.

That is, the cause of their death was the severed head, which was the only wound on their body, and the most fatal wound.

The only corpse that can be said to be the most complete is also a bloody hole in the neck, the trachea, Adam's apple, venous arteries, etc. have been shattered, only the cervical vertebrae have fortunately avoided the wound and barely survived...... However, his head was not on the body, and it was cut off at that time.

The most important thing is -

The thirteen soldiers who acted together did not pull out the knives at their waists, the armor on their bodies did not look like they had gone through any battle, and the arquebuses scattered around them did not fire a single shot, not only did the gunpowder and small lead pellets loaded inside not wear out, but even the arquebuses showed no signs of ignition.

Basically, it's complete.,As long as you pick up the head, you don't need any treatment.,You can make people look at the remains well.。

It's just that such a discovery makes the fool princess of Owari, who has a tea-combed bun and a sword tied around her waist, and Oda Shinna, a girl with long brown hair, look extremely angry.

This anger even overshadowed the subconscious fear of the murderer in her heart.

Because these Tanegashima muskets were "iron cannons" imported from the Nanban, although the other daimyo of the Warring States were not yet aware of the advancement and advantages of these things, she believed that in the future, they would replace swords and guns as the main weapons on the battlefield.

At a time when the world generally regarded it as a rare toy from the Southern Barbarians, she was so convinced of her own judgment that she had even begun to take action and armed her army in large quantities.

It's just that the price of these "iron cannons" is not cheap, it can be said that they are expensive and rare, and she only relied on Tsushima, a trading port owned by the Oda family, and relied on collecting military funds from the merchants of Tsushima, until now she has only gathered 500 Tanegashima muskets. Compared to the total strength of the Oda family of 5,000, only 500 people can be equipped.

This also means that these 500 musketeers are theoretically better than other soldiers.

Now, however, what she saw was a one-sided slaughter, and her own soldiers didn't even fight back decently. It was as if he had been frightened stupid at all, and he could only stand still and wait for death, and he would not be able to run away and scream - so that until now the corpse was cold and the blood had coagulated, and he was not found by himself.

The most important thing is that the enemy also did not take a fancy to the Tanegashima musket on the ground, and left the scene without touching it.

…… Humiliated.

She thought so, and then her chest rose and fell sharply, and a stream of resentment rushed back and forth.

She lowered her head, thinking hard in her head, her face cold.

The soldiers around her felt that she had eaten explosives and might be furious at any time, so they didn't dare to make a sound or approach, and they couldn't even let their breathing and heartbeat be turned off directly, and they lowered their heads tremblingly.

Until—

"Princess, I have checked, and they were basically killed with a single sword, and it can even be seen as being killed at the same time...... Maybe the attack came too quickly, they didn't have time to react, and judging by the wounds, there should have been only one person who killed them. ”

At this time, the voice was made by Niwa Nagahide, who was still serving as Oda Shinna's squire not long ago, among the young generals who most of them inherited his father's position, a girl who was about twenty years old.

However, she doesn't give the impression of a mature and charming sister, and for Oda Shinna, she is indeed like an older sister.
