32. Assault
Gongdao frowned slightly: "Are you sure?" ”
In case the "illness" of this noble girl worsens, the escort mission will be variable again.
"You know I have a hobby of reading...... "Ginta said, "I still remember some little stories." If it really doesn't work, let them continue. ”
Gongdao nodded: "Then try it." ”
"Yin Taijun, Xiaoxiang will ask you." Michiko looked at him pitifully.
Ginta: "...... I tried my best. ”
At this time, the maid on the side of the carriage was still reading softly word by word, but she still couldn't stop Satoka's sobbing.
When he woke up the next morning, Juro was completely stunned by what he saw, and his wife lying next to him turned out to be a black-haired skeleton...... "After another little story was told, she quickly looked at Ginta, who was about to come over to replace her.
Ginta began to tell the story without hurrying: "Two thousand years ago, countless youkai were active in the endless land...... Some of them are beasts that devour the aura of heaven and earth to evolve, and some of them are ghosts born of human resentment, and since then mankind has begun an era of long-term coexistence with youkai......"
"During this period, some humans found that they were able to control the power of their souls, and at the same time, after hard cultivation, their strength gradually became stronger, and they were able to seal and destroy monsters......"
"The shrine maiden Kikyo is the leader of this group of people, she is born with strong spiritual power, she has traveled all over the world, and destroyed countless monsters......"
“…… A thousand years later, in the Warring States period, almost all the yokai disappeared, but there was another reason for this......
Ah Li was originally the daughter of a small aristocratic family in the Land of Fire, and when she was playing in the suburbs that day, she picked up a piece of the Jade of the Four Souls, but she didn't know that it was a treasure that disappeared thousands of years ago...... Until she was accidentally pulled into that bone-eating well......"
“…… The white-haired young man on the Imperial Tree had a handsome face and white dog ears on his head, and this evil and demonic appearance quickly attracted Ah Li's attention......"
A minute passed, and the crying was gone.
Fifteen minutes later, a maid quietly walked out of the carriage and made a gesture to indicate that Sato had fallen asleep.
Ginta gradually reduces her voice, and soon the story is over.
The story of "The Girl and the Dog Man" seems to have a very good appetite for sick girls, and it is estimated that the other party has begun to dream about traveling thousands of years ago and having an earth-shattering love affair with a half-demon dog man.
It's not in vain that he has gone to great lengths to make a lot of fantasy adaptations.
Michiko's eyes lit up.
She felt that this teenager was the perfect target for borrowing.
Cultivate a relationship for a few years first, and then train him to look like you...... When the body is more mature, you can take sperm and have children...... Michiko began to plot the "Ginta Capture Plan" in her heart.
Seeing that the matter was over, Gongdao looked at Yinta in surprise.
"Good job, you go and rest first." He coded to Ginta: "Change the night watch in 5 hours." ”
I can finally get some sleep...... Ginta leaned against the palanquin with blank eyes.
……
At night, the full moon hangs high.
The moonlight shone on the earth, and a white jade plate was reflected on the surface of the lake.
The Sato family's team camped on the edge of a small river at the behest of Kime Koto.
The surrounding terrain is open and the ground is full of rubble, so if an enemy approaches, it is absolutely impossible to carry out a quick surprise attack, and at the same time, it will be exposed to everyone's view.
A black shadow hid between the mountain walls hundreds of meters away, and seeing the two Konoha ninjas standing on both sides of the camp, they could only retreat quietly.
The shadow jumped down the hill into the woods, and in a moment came to a clearing.
"There's no way to do it for the time being, this 10 million taels looks very difficult to take." The black shadow said to the person sitting on the boulder, "Kazuki, didn't you come out of Konoha Village?" Isn't there any information about the ninja who led the team? ”
Kazuki was a young man with a gray broom head, and when he heard this, his face became gloomy:
"You think Konoha is as small as Grass Hidden Village? Have you ever taken a picture of each of the upper ninjas? ”
He turned his head, and the Konoha logo on his forehead was clearly visible, but there was an extra scratch on it.
Apparently a traitor wanted by Konoha .
Opposite Ichiki, the rebellious black rock of Caoyin Village was furious, but thinking that he was not Ichiki's opponent, he could only swallow this breath.
"What are you going to do? The target is protected inside and out, and it is very difficult to assassinate them. ”
"I understand Konoha's leading mode, looking at the age of those three little ghosts, it must be a shinobi ...... who has just graduated" Ichiki said in a cold voice: "The only thing that is uncertain is the strength of that captain." ”
"According to Konoha's establishment, the chance that he is a shinobi is less than thirty percent. But judging from the amount given by the client, even if it is a mid-level forbearance, the strength should not be simple. ”
Hei Yan gritted his teeth and said, "I can send all my subordinates, but this captain needs you to lead them away." ”
"As long as I get the opportunity to get close to the target, I can succeed in the assassination in a few moments."
Kazuki closed his eyes and pondered.
Considering that 10 million taels was too tempting, he decided to give it a go.
There's no way, Konoha's dark pursuit efficiency is too high, and his kind of rebellion can only survive for a long time, and he finally received a commission with a rich reward, and it would be a pity to give up.
"I'll be the first to attack that captain, hold him back for at least twenty seconds, and you'll take care of the rest."
Hei Yan immediately smiled: "That's no problem, just deal with a few lower ninja imps, I'll get rid of them soon." ”
……
Following.
The Sato family's team set off again under the protection of the Gongdao team.
They are currently in the northeastern part of the Fire Country, thousands of kilometers away from Konoha Village, and they will be able to reach the border between the two countries in a few days.
As the market towns along the road gradually decreased, the efficiency of the team began to decrease significantly.
Because there are many ordinary people in the team, in the process of long-distance travel, water source is a big problem, even if the skill knife is familiar with the terrain of the Fire Country, the route of progress will inevitably change several times.
At dusk, the team stopped at a famous spot in the Land of Fire called Lake Suijing.
Two members of the Sato family lifted the tank and prepared to go to the lake to fetch water.
"Smoke, you kid move quickly, my throat is already on fire!" A groom shouted.
"Okay, Ishii-senpai, I'll go now." With an ordinary face, he smiled innocently, turned around and ran towards the lake.
The rest of the people present also got busy and began to set up camp.
Gongdao instructed the three of them to stay on guard, and then prepared to set a trap in the nearby woods.
After a while, Smoke's figure reappeared.
"Ishii-senpai, I'll bring the water back!"
He trotted towards the crowd with two barrels in his hand and a smile on his face.
"Stop, don't move!" Kira suddenly dodged out, holding the kunai in front of him.
Smoke was stunned: "Ninja-sama, ...... are you?"
"Running posture, the rhythm of your footsteps is completely different from that of ordinary people." Kira's pupils shrank, and then he shouted, "There are enemies, everyone be careful!" ”
Rumble!
At the same time, a loud noise was heard in the nearby woods.
