223. Dissect doubts
After killing [Gunfoot Shochang] in one-on-one, the snake is no longer a threat.
The wolf was already on the verge of making progress over there.
Although his left arm was injured, he couldn't exert too much force. However, unarmored weapons don't require much strength in the first place, unless the enemy's flesh and blood are tougher than steel.
Otherwise, a knife can make him bleed and cut meat.
The wolf had already stabbed the instep of the snake with his katana.
If it weren't for the fact that this bandit leader looked like he was from a sumo training background, and his lower plate was terrifyingly stable, he probably would have collapsed when the knife was inserted into the instep of his foot.
But even so, he had already roared angrily, and it seemed that he had foreseen his fate.
"! Die! β
The wild knife that was as long as a spear was slashed by him.
However, his mobility has been impaired, and he has lost the ability to threaten wolves.
Lan En picked up his ninja knife from Masako's corpse and threw it at the snake.
With a "poof", the sound of the blade cutting through the flesh was swift and sharp.
The bright blade stabbed through the back of the snake's thick thigh, piercing the entire thigh, causing him to fall to his knees with a scream.
The wolf caught on to this big flaw.
He directly stepped on the back of the empty knife with his light body, and jumped on the shoulder of the snake Shigehi!
His hand tugged at the other's thinning hair, causing him to lift his massive head up, revealing his weakness.
Then the katana in his hand stabbed straight through the junction between the neck and the collarbone, vertically!
"Poof", the splash of blood is like killing a pig.
Lan En couldn't help but grind his teeth when he looked at it. I guess the katana has gone straight from the neck to the chest!
The massive body slowly fell, and the wolf jumped off his head.
Shaking off the remaining blood stains on the flailing knife, he walked over Lan En without looking back, and walked towards the depths of the inner house.
Of course, Lan En didn't have any of the main family's personal ninjas who were familiar with the terrain, so he followed him and headed inside.
Knowing that in an indoor hallway, Lan En saw an acquaintance again.
Inosuke Nogami.
It's just that at this time, the young and promising samurai no longer has the neat demeanor he had when he first met.
At this time, he was wearing a wartime uniform, a white cloth covered his eyes, red blood flowed out, and he sat in the corner.
The wolf didn't look at it, and was ready to pass him directly and head towards his destination.
But Rann grabbed the ninja instead.
"Give him some medicine for his wounds, he's also a samurai of the Hirata family, isn't he? And looking at him like this, it's obvious that he hasn't escaped from where you want to go. It is necessary to ask for information. β
The wolf who was bent on the Savior didn't want to care about anything else, but what Lan En said was justified and reasonable.
On the other side of the corridor, on the surface, it was just an empty room. But the close confidants of the Hirata family knew that there was a hidden Buddhist hall under the tatami mats.
Inosuke was injured in this position and fell to the ground, and it was only possible that he was knocked out of the Buddhist hall.
The wolf took out a small pill box from his arms, and he poured out a white-green pill and handed it to Lan.
"This medicine is much more effective than the outside of Reed."
Lan En nodded indifferently, and said in his heart I don't know what the situation is outside your Dongying and Reed. If you have medicine, just feed it.
But as soon as Inosuke swallowed the pill, the medicinal properties of the pill still startled Lan En.
Inosuke, who was still out of breath but not in just now, obviously began to improve after the pill was in his stomach.
Lan En felt that he poured a bottle of [Swallow] and that's the effect.
"You've got awesome herbs here."
The witcher, who is still 'somewhat accomplished' in alchemy, held back a sentence for a long time.
He just now seemed to inadvertently lick the palm of the hand that took the pill, and the Mentos in his mind completed the analysis in time.
The production method of this pill is mediocre, mainly because the medicinal materials are powerful.
In other words, the land where medicinal herbs grow is powerful.
For Lanne, it's a specialty concept. I can take some with me, but I can't make a second copy in the field when I run out.
At this time, Inosuke on the ground seemed to be choking on the blood foam in his throat during his recovery and coughed up.
"Ahem, ahem. IβIs there anyone around me? β
Lan En opened his mouth, it seemed that this young warrior was really blind.
"I'm Lan, and I'm here with Miko's ninja. Inosuke, tell us where Miko has gone. β
Three or two sentences made the situation clear, and Inosuke replied with a strong heart.
"Hidden Buddha Hall, Miko, inside. But. That illusion, that illusion can't be dealt with at all! I still have three Naruto here, and I can crack illusions. Sorry, it's me who is too weak. Even if there are only three left, I still can't save the young master."
When the wolf heard the word 'illusion', his brow furrowed in a rare way, showing obvious mood swings.
"Yes, Butterfly-sama?"
He asked in a cold tone towards Izhimei.
"Yes, yes, it's Lord Butterfly, who brought the young master here. As soon as I entered, she started attacking me. β
The wolf's hand was already gripping the hilt.
Lan En watched this scene calmly. Within the Hirata clan, he had also seen three ninjas who seemed to have heads and faces in status. The name and image of the person can also be correct.
The relationship between the three ninjas is extraordinary, and according to Ran's speculation, it should be similar to that of a master and apprentice.
But at the same time, he had no doubt that if it was really his mentor who robbed the royal son, the wolf would definitely not have the slightest mercy when he attacked.
In contrast, his master is probably just as ruthless in order to achieve his own goals.
This is the concept and three views that ninjas are instilled in the training stage.
However, Lan En thinks that as a perspective that is not deeply connected to the Hirata clan, he now sees a little more comprehensively than the wolf.
"Calm down."
Lan En patted the wolf's hand gripping the hilt of the knife and said calmly.
"Ashina should have a reserve, right? Now that the Hirata clan is on fire, even if it is difficult to walk on a rainy night, they should be able to arrive at dawn, well. It's almost now. β
"Are there any other exits to the Hidden Buddha Hall? If not, then why are butterflies holding hostages and hiding in a Jedi? She shouldn't be so stupid as to think that the bandits would put down their looting and concentrate on slaughtering, killing the people outside, and then letting her take them with her again, right? β
"From this point of view, her approach is more like 'taking the young master to hide from the rebels and waiting for reinforcements'."
After listening to Lanen's thoughts, the wolf also began to sense that something was wrong. If Madame Butterfly wants to take Miko away, then she can leave in the early days of chaos.
"Impossible!" Inosuke retorted with a short breath. "If Lord Butterfly really wants to protect the young master! Why are you attacking me?! Why scare my mother with illusions! She is the young master's personal maid! β
"Because she doesn't know if you are a spy or not, she will indiscriminately attack the person who wants to enter the hidden temple before someone she can really trust comes forward."
"Spies? Are you doubting the loyalty of our Hirata retainers?! β
Even though Inosuke was seriously injured, he still shouted eagerly when he talked about the samurai's loyalty being questioned.
But Lan En choked him with a word.
"Then how do you explain the fact that Hiratanoso was beaten into the door by a group of bandits, and it was so easy? It's not a spy, is it incompetent? β
Spy, or incompetent. No samurai would want to choose one of these two words as a comment for their group.
Lan En shook his head, he didn't really understand this kind of Dongying's characteristic thoughts.
Just patted Inosuke on the shoulder and let him rest.
"Let's go." Lan En stood up from Inosuke's side, walked in front of the wolf, and walked towards the room where the Buddha Hall was hidden.
As he walked, he commanded the ninja behind him.
"Even if you are forced to fight after a while, you have to explain it clearly when you fight, you know? You ninjas. Why are they like stuffy gourds? Don't communicate well, exchange information, dispel suspicions, and want to save the Hirata family together? Do you ever do that? β
Today's three watches are over!
