Escorted by Koji Takeda and Soga Inamo, and surrounded by a group of Takeda family samurai, Sakura Rinko and Assuna slowly walked towards the Takeda family's daimyo mansion after entering Chiba Castle.

Many people in Chiba City on the street were curious to look at such a large group of people, Takeda Koji and Soga Inamo can be described as frightened, afraid that there will be some bad thoughts on the road, then the two of them will really be unable to deal with it, if there is any problem with Sakura Rinko and Asuka, neither of them can afford it.

In front of a small liquor shop in Chiba Castle, a middle-aged man stood in front of the rain curtain with a wine glass, staring at the group of guys who were cautiously advancing on the street.

Suddenly, a phantom appeared beside him, and whispered to the middle-aged man: "Family master, that should be His Majesty the Emperor, we, are we going to do it now?"

The middle-aged man's mouth didn't move, as if he didn't see the phantom around him, but a dull voice responded to the other party: "Jiro, don't you think it's strange? Why did His Majesty the Emperor suddenly enter the city today? Where was she before? Why did she enter the city so flamboyantly?"

The phantom who stood in the rain, almost blending in with the rain curtain outside the liquor store, stared carefully at the group of people on the street for a while and said, "Uncle, do you think there is fraud in this?"

The middle-aged man standing in front of the wine shop still didn't open his mouth, but there was still a voice coming out: "There must be fraud in this, I'm afraid that the other party deliberately set up a situation to lead us to expose, Jiro, don't forget jì, after all, this is the Chiba Castle of the Takeda family, and we don't have an advantage." ”

"Uncle, shall we continue to hold our troops, or shall we withdraw from the city now, according to the original plan?"

"Don't worry, take a look first, and see what His Majesty the Emperor wants to do, presumably he entered the city in such a high-profile manner, it shouldn't be just to enter the Takeda family calmly. ”

As soon as the middle-aged man's words fell, he saw an old man holding an umbrella. Walking slowly towards the group of people on the street, the old man didn't seem to be afraid of those mighty samurai, but walked towards the group of people very calmly, and stopped directly in the way of Sakura Rinko and them.

The samurai who walked in the front didn't need to be spoken by Koji Takeda and the others, so he preemptively asked: "Hey, old man, what are you doing? Don't you die? Don't you know that the Emperor's holy car is here? Why don't you get out of the way." ”

As soon as the samurai's words fell, the old man knelt directly in the rain. Throw away the oil-paper umbrella in his hand and kowtow to Sakura Rinko and say, "Old decay, I have seen His Majesty the Emperor." ”

Seeing the old man, not only did he not leave under his own reprimand, but he knelt down directly, wanting to see Sakura Rinko as if he was meeting the emperor.

The samurai who was reprimanded by standing up suddenly felt that he was very faceless, and Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the unhappy look on the face of Takeda Koji behind him, and immediately knew that his impression in Takeda Koji's heart had deteriorated, and he immediately walked towards the old man with a calm face. I want to drive the old man away.

Sakura Rinko herself felt very apprehensive, because she knew that those Tokugawa ninjas should be in the city, so she started to enter the city, despite being surrounded by a large number of samurai. was still in fear, and at this moment, when she saw someone suddenly standing up to block the road, her heart was even more panicked.

However, the samurai stood up to defend himself. And as if she wanted to drive the old man who got in the way, Sakura Rinko suddenly remembered what Lucius had said before.

Look at the old man kneeling in the rain, and stare at the slightly curved back of the old man. Sakura Rinko suddenly felt that this might be a temptation of Amaterasu to herself?

At the moment when the samurai's fierce god walked in front of him, the old man's eyes were already wide, and he was ready to be caught by the other party and thrown aside, and at the same time he was about to ask the emperor for help, but just as the samurai was about to grab his shirt, a soft voice suddenly stopped the samurai: "Please stop." ”

Sakura Rinko's sudden stop shocked everyone, and in full view of everyone, everyone watched Sakura Rinko walk out of the samurai crowd and walk straight towards the old man kneeling in the rain.

Standing in front of the liquor store, Iga Ming, disguised as a middle-aged man, stared at himself with wide eyes and said to himself: "This, this, what is the emperor doing here?"

At this moment, it seemed that time had stopped, and everyone's eyes were focused on Sakura Rinko, and they didn't understand what this person who was brought into the city by the Takeda family and didn't really identify himself wanted to do? Many people even speculated in their hearts, could the other party really be the emperor in the old man's mouth?

In fact, in order to ensure Sakura's safety, Mitsusu Takeda and Soga Inamome did not reveal Sakura's identity, and they did not let the civilians in the city greet her.

So when the old man suddenly rushed out and knelt in the heavy rain and shouted for the emperor, Koji Takeda and Soga Inamome felt a wave of doubt, and the two of them would acquiesce to the samurai to expel the old man who was kneeling in the rain.

Sakura Rinko walked up to the old man, bent down and picked up the oil-paper umbrella that the old man had thrown aside, propped it on the old man's head and said, "Old man, please get up, you will get sick if you kneel in the heavy rain like this, it is not good for your health, if you have anything to say, you can get up first and then speak." ”

The old man raised his head and saw Sakura Rinko's appearance, he looked very excited, kowtowed to Sakura Rinko again, and muttered: "Really, it's really the Emperor's Majesty, meet the Emperor." ”

The old man was eating in a small restaurant, and he happened to hear the diners talking about it, saying that the people of the Takeda family actually went to the city gate to greet the two women, and many people were speculating about the identities of the two women.

And he accidentally glanced at the street, and just happened to see the front of Sakura Rinko, and recognized Sakura Rinko as the emperor at a glance, because the old man had seen Sakura Rinko before, and Sakura Rinko had just ascended the throne at that time, and the old man was still working as a cook in the imperial family.

Recognizing Sakura's identity, the old man immediately said it, but he was ridiculed by the diners, and everyone thought that the old man was laughing because he had drunk too much.

"Hehe, old man, don't laugh, if that girl is really His Majesty the Emperor, how could she enter the city in the rain?

In the face of everyone's doubts, the old man felt very angry, stimulated by everyone's words, the old man rushed out of the restaurant, rushed directly to the front of the team to stop the team, and knelt directly on the ground to want the emperor to salute, wanting to prove that what he said was the truth.

Quietly listening to the old man explain the reason for his blockade, Sakura Rinko looked at the old man carefully, and suddenly remembered that he had been in the royal palace. It's like seeing an old man in front of you.

Helping the old man up and stuffing the umbrella into the old man's hand, Sakura Rinko smiled and said, "Old man, thank you really for your loyalty to me, and thank you for taking care of the royal family's diet for many years." ”

As she spoke, Sakura Rinko turned back to Koji Takeda and said, "Takeda-kun, if you can, can I take him with me?" I still miss some small snacks of the royal family a little, I wonder if you will still do it, old man? If you can, please come with me to the Takeda family's mansion, right?"

The old man was visibly very excited when he heard this. Immediately, he knelt down again and said, "Yes, yes, I can make snacks for the Emperor, that is Marujiu's luck, and Marujiu will definitely not let you down." ”

Seeing that Sakura Rinko's identity had been completely exposed, Koji Takeda didn't say much at the moment, but directly shouted to the whole city: "Everyone listen, all come out to greet His Majesty the Emperor." ”

Those who originally watched the excitement quickly woke up to the shouts of Koji Takeda. One by one, they rushed out of their respective homes, knelt down on the damp street, and kowtowed to Sakura Rinko, and suddenly the entire Chiba Castle was boiling. In the blink of an eye, the streets were full of kneeling people.

Iga Ming, who was forced to kneel, couldn't help but sigh and said, "I really didn't expect that this Emperor Xià would actually show his identity like this." ”

Subsequently. Iga Ming opened his mouth and whispered to the phantom beside him, "Get ready to do it, since the other party has already identified itself, we can't leave." For so long, let a few people take the opportunity to create chaos first. ”

Seeing that the whole city was kneeling in the rain, Sakura Rinko hurriedly said in fear: "Everyone, please get up, I, I don't want to do this, everyone get up, I didn't want to alarm everyone, please get up, I am in trouble now, you don't have to do this." ”

At Sakura's shout, the people of the city finally all got up, but they were still hunched and their heads bowed, and no one dared to raise their heads to look directly at Sakura, although most people were curious about the emperor.

Sakura Rinko turned her head to Koji Takeda and Soga Inamo, who were smiling bitterly, and said, "Both, I've caused you trouble, let's continue to go, go back to your mansion first, and don't interfere with the normal life of the people, this situation is really not what I want to see." ”

Koji Takeda and Soga Inamome didn't say much, nodded and sighed before hugging Sakura Rinko again, and the team slowly walked in the direction of the Daimyo's mansion.

"Ah......h

Seeing the people lying in a pool of blood, seeing the scarlet blood on the ground, the originally calm crowd on the street suddenly became restless, and those people were frightened one by one, and under the push of some well-intentioned people, more and more people broke into the street, causing the streets in the city to be blocked.

Soga Inamo's reaction was very quick, and he immediately rushed to Sakura Rinko's face, and at the same time shouted to the samurai around him: "Everyone be careful, there should be someone who deliberately creates chaos, keep your position, protect Your Majesty, no matter what situation you encounter, no one is allowed to leave the place." ”

Soga Inamo's method is very effective, and despite the constant commotion around them, Sakura Rinko and Asukina are always safe, but the people around them have suffered unjustified disasters.

Many people were retreated from the crowd to the street under agitation and pushing, and because the ground was slippery on rainy days, many people fell to the ground, and naturally the people in front fell to the ground, and the people behind would trip or trample on those who fell to the ground.

The streets suddenly became more and more chaotic, and although most people wanted to get away from the chaos as much as possible, things only got worse when everyone was in a state of unease and impatience.

Just when the entire street became chaotic, Iga Naru and the ninjas he led quietly blended into the bustling and restless crowd, and quickly approached Sakura Rinko and others who were blocked in the street, while many ninjas had already taken out their weapons and silently shot at the outermost samurai.
