The catfish boy is nimble, and is the first to climb the tree, hang down the wide belt, and hang everyone up the tree one by one. Everyone groped and jumped out of the wall one by one, but the big man came to Cainiu and was in trouble, and he couldn't go up even if he broke the cloth belt. The two Ouchi guards lifted him to the tree with the huge soles of the cow's feet, and a few more people grabbed his arm and slowly walked out of the courtyard wall, which really took some effort.

Outside the walls of the Bamboo Forest Garden, there is still Shitennoji Temple, which is a remote vegetable field. The captain of the guard led the way, and by the faint moonlight they touched a small door, which seemed to have been left unattended for a long time, and a rusty iron chain was locked in the deadbolt. Everyone cut the key, pulled the bolt of the door, pushed the door out, and it was a dark alley, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and finally escaped from the pursuit.

The captain of the guard stepped out first and took a few steps to the west. Suddenly, a fire flickered in the low wooden house opposite, and then a torch was thrown in front of everyone. Chongwen shouted, "Oh no! Run!", with the force in his hand, he ran westward with the flower in his hand.

Before he could finish speaking, several arrows knocked down the captain of the guard who was exposed to the firelight, and one arrow pierced his neck, and he clutched his neck and struggled, but he couldn't shout. Everyone shouted and ran west along the alley together, someone in front of them shouted heartbreakingly, and the shining blade of the knife could be seen in the darkness, and someone stopped it!

The first to engage the enemy were a few Ouchi clan guards, the moonlight was very faint, and only the flash of the sword could barely distinguish between friend and foe. The guards cut down several enemies, but there was a rumbling of footsteps behind them, and the pursuers caught up. Laicai Niu roared, strode forward, picked up the big stick in his hand, and smashed the chasing soldier's knife to pieces.

Laicai Niu is tall and long-armed, the streets and alleys are narrow, and the enemy can't rush in at all, so there is a way to survive by killing the pursuers in front. Chongwen shouted, "Catfish boy, let's rush forward!" Catfish boy agreed, followed behind a few guards, the big stick just slashed to the left and right, I don't know how many blades flew away.

Everyone was in a scuffle in the darkness, and Chongwen felt that after more than 10 steps forward, Hanako fell down with a thud, tripped on a corpse and fell. In the dark, Chongwen grabbed her with a big hand, lifted her to his chest, and continued to move forward.

Just then, another torch was thrown at the fugitives. By the light of the flight, Chongwen gasped, there were shogunate troops in front and back, there were more than 100 people, the dense team squeezed the water in the narrow alley, Chongwen and several people were sandwiched in the center, how to kill it!

The torch landed right at Chongwen's feet, and Chongwen flew up and kicked the torch away, preventing the enemy archers from finding their target. The torch flew to the pursuers behind Xuan, and in the orange flames, Chongwen suddenly noticed that there were dense weapons flying towards the enemy, and screams rang out, as if there were people on the wooden roofs on both sides to support him.

Chongwen was in high spirits for a while, shouted loudly, kicked open the door of a house, shouted loudly, and let his people withdraw to the house. The room was darkly lit, there were women and children crying, and there were hurried whispers. Chongwen didn't care about that much, dragged Hanako to the back wall, kicked over a paper door, and in front of him was another alley, dark and lonely, and there was no sign of ambush.

Chongwen was overjoyed, and there were catfish boys who retreated into the house, and there were 3 warriors left, one of whom was seriously injured and was dragged into the house by the other. Chongwen patted Lai Cai Niu on the shoulder, pointed to the back door that was kicked out, and motioned for him to open the way in front of his head, and Lai Cai Niu immediately understood, dragging a bloody stick and jumping out of the wooden house from the other side.

Everyone followed the rich cow and came out. The shogunate army was a little panicked by the black shadows jumping on the rooftops on both sides, and there were few pursuers who rushed into the wooden house. Chongwen was tall and fierce, and the remaining enemies in the darkness were timid, and he was a little afraid for a while.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chongwen took off the sleeveless feather weave on his body, shook the fire folds and ignited the paper door thrown on the overturned paper, which instantly turned into a fire door, and Chongwen carried it to the house.

The wooden house would soon burst into flames, and the servants in the house would cry out in rout. Chongwen secretly thought that if the whole street was on fire, the shogunate army would be very unlucky, how miserable the owner of the house was, and who would care about his mother now.

Chongwen held a flower in one hand and a writing knife in the other, and followed everyone along the streets and alleys. There was a dull sound of fire in the direction of the harbor in the west, Chongwen secretly screamed that it was not good, it seems that the Anointing Blood Bird ship in the harbor has also been besieged, if the ship falls into the hands of the enemy, then the people of Longwang Island will really be wiped out, and now they must rush to the harbor as soon as possible to board the ship.

It's still a dark alley, and at the entrance of the alley is a north-south street. Everyone rushed out of the alley, and the street in front of them was still bright, but when they saw a fire not far away, the street began to be chaotic, and there were pedestrians running in a panic everywhere, and messy debris was rolling all over the street.

The catfish boy asked loudly, "Go out to sea, which direction?"

Chongwen looked left and right, and saw a team of soldiers running down the street in the south, shouting something constantly, it seemed to be the police in Qicheng. To the north is the west gate of Shitennoji Temple, where a group of shogunate samurai gathered, and the street was jammed.

In the midst of hesitation, I saw that the police in Qicheng who were running from the south to the north were in chaos, and in the shadows of the streets and alleys, bows, shurikens, and blowing arrows shot at the team of ronins like a torrential rain, and screams were everywhere. Chongwen shouted: "There are people in the south to answer, let's run south!"

The group rushed to the south, followed by shogunate samurai, and on both sides there were people throwing sarings into the street, and the pursuing shogunate samurai kept rolling to the ground with their feet covered. Chongwen and the others can take care of the back, Laicai Niu took the lead, knocked over a few blocking police officers with a big stick, killed a bloody road, and escaped.

Someone in the distance shouted in Mandarin: "Where is Da Chuhai! Is Da Chuhai coming from the other side?" Chongwen was sure in his heart and shouted loudly: "I am Da Chuhai, am I Brother Shi?"

I saw a few Dakang sailors dressed as servants rushing out of the chaos, and it was Wang Shi who was the leader. Several people rushed to Chongwen and the others, but before they could salute, Wang Shishi shouted: "I am familiar with the terrain here, everyone follow me to the dock!"

Chongwen shouted: "That's it, everyone keep up, don't be separated!"

There was a dull sound of cannon sound in the direction of the dock, this was the son and mother firing, Chongwen was anxious, for fear that the Anointed Blood Bird Boat would be lost, and kept urging everyone to run quickly. Wang Shizai has been walking around the neighborhood for two days, and he has walked through every street and alley, and he is very familiar with it. At this time, he took everyone to choose a secluded street and alley, and everyone immediately relaxed a lot.

Along the way, he never encountered the shogunate army again, but only met sporadic police beeps, and saw these people running around with weapons in hand, and came forward to inquire, but were cut down by Wang Shi and others, and rushed to the checkpoint at the junction of the city and port in a moment.

The harbor could already be seen here, and in the dim light, a large ship on the sea rushed to the left and right among a pile of small boats. More than 10 small boats of the police station were fighting around the Bloodbird boat, and the big sea ships slammed the boats into the sideways, the sound of guns and crossbows was incessant, and the screams of the police were incessant.

Several checkpoints at the junction of the city and port have been destroyed, and it seems that they have been bombarded by 4 catties of iron bullets, and more than 10 police officers have been hit by artillery fire and have lost arms and legs, and have been killed and injured all over the place. Dozens of people were killed and wounded at the pier, and the rest of the crowd were frightened by the artillery fire and scattered for shelter.

Chongwen laughed and said: "Mother, the second out of sea is clever, saving us a lot of hands and feet!" At this time, the son and mother of the Anointed Bird boat began to fire at the besieging boat, and a few guns have already hit the boat full of holes, no one is alive, and the remnants fell into the sea, screaming and sinking and floating.

Chongwen shouted: "Everyone follow me, don't run away!" rushed to the dock first, and chased the blood-anointing bird ship along the stone port. On the boat, Liu Guan saw a few embarrassed guys of uneven height rushing over on the chaotic dock, not who was the big one who went to sea and the others, and laughed when he went out to sea, pulled out his handcuffs and fired a gun into the sky, indicating that the ship had noticed.

The fugitives got closer and closer to the bird boat, and strode onto a merchant ship, and several of the servants and sailors shouted and scolded and stepped forward to stop them, but several were cut down by Chongwen, and the rest hid aside, not daring to make a sound. Seeing that there was 20 zhang of sea water from the bird boat, Chongwen gritted his teeth, dragged Hanako and jumped into the icy sea water first, and swam desperately towards the blood bird boat.

Everyone else is good at water, even the only surviving servant guard Tomita Shinji can also swim, but Laicai Niu is a landlubber and has a huge physique, and no one can take it. At a loss, a good fortune cow kicked off one of the masts of the boat and threw it into the sea, holding the log and drifting towards the Bloodbird boat, and the boat was full of cheers.

It was winter, the sea was cold to the bone, and no one could care much about life and death, so they could only swim towards the Bloodbird Boat. The ship had already thrown off the rope ladder, and everyone climbed up wet and was dragged to the deck by the sailors. There were only dim ship lights in the dark, and a few police officers who had fallen into the water were dragged up, which made the second person go to sea to be surprised.

The sailors froze purple and shivering all over the creatures to the second floor of the stern cabin, where some brought them dry clothes to change into, others brought hot soup to warm them.

The life-saving benefactor Hanako had already fainted from the cold, and Chongwen couldn't care about it, so he tore off her wet clothes and threw them aside, wrapped her in a fur coat, and poured hot soup into it, and then woke up slowly.

Seeing that there were a lot of people on Longwang Island, Liu Guan shouted when he went out to sea: "Little ones, raise the sails, turn the rudder Gengshen, let's go! These barbarians dare to plot against us, Ah Gan! Aim at those police stations, assessment offices, and arbitration offices on the shore, and blast those bullshit and wooden nests into slag!"

The cannon promised loudly: "Don't worry, there won't be a single one left!"

The Bloodbird ship was rampage in the darkness, and sailed out of the harbor, and at this time there was no firing angle for the bow of the ship, and the cannon Li Qiqian could only command the two guns to shoot at the shore.

The distance is a little far, and the target on the shore is dim, where to see clearly. Li Qiqian only opened fire on the largest building to vent his anger, no matter what it was, the egg-sized guns filled several large wooden houses with holes, the lights fell to the wooden frames of the papier-mâché window lattices, and the sea breeze ignited a fire, and the servants on the shore were like ants frantically fighting the fire. The cannon and the people of the Dragon King Island were scolding and cheering, and the whistles were endless, but despite this, it was difficult to hide the loss in the hearts of the people of the Dragon King Island. They have gone through hardships and crossed the vast sea to come here, but they can only return with a feather, which is really a loss-making deal, and no one can be happy.

In a moment, the Anointed Bird ship rushed out of Sakai Port and sailed towards Osaka Bay in the dark, with a chaotic Aki Castle behind it.
