Chapter 684 Two Ogata [Six Thousand Six Hundred]
The moment he saw the man in black on the tree, drops of cold sweat immediately burst from Yishihua's forehead.
Thanks to the moonlight, Isshiki clearly saw... the clothes worn by the man in black on the tree. .
This person's attire is exactly the same as the attire of the three men in black who attacked her and Ogata I saw in the abandoned Buddhist hall just now...
Almost without any hesitation or thinking—the moment cold sweat broke out from her forehead, Isshiki gritted her teeth and supported the one who was currently unable to stand upright, obviously no longer able to chase the enemy The strong Ogata put it on the ground, then pulled out the knife from Ogata's waist, quickly said "borrow it" to Ogata, and ran straight to the big tree where the man in black was with the knife .
Isshiki doesn't need anyone to explain to Isshiki, she also knows: If the man in black who discovered her and Ogata's whereabouts is not killed as soon as possible, how much trouble will be waiting for her and Ogata in the future.
Looking at the Yishihua that was killing him, the man in black on the tree smiled contemptuously—then jumped to the trunk of another big tree behind him, and then jumped again to another Li Yishihua On a tree farther away.
There are dense trees here, and for ninjas like them, this kind of place is simply a paradise, whether it is chasing the enemy or escaping from the enemy, it is extremely convenient.
--stop! stop!
Isshiki tried her best to catch up, and shouted "stop" in her heart over and over again, hoping that some miraculous accident would happen to make the ninja stop. For example-the ninja accidentally stepped on the air and fell from the tree, or when he jumped on the branch of a big tree, the branch suddenly broke and fell to the ground with the branch.
She hoped so with all her heart.
However...the miracle didn't happen.
Even though she tried her best to catch up, even though she prayed over and over again for a miracle to happen in her heart, the ninja was getting farther and farther away from her, and her field of vision was getting smaller and smaller, and finally—— Disappear.
"Ha...ha...ha...ha...ha..." Yishihua stopped slowly, looking at the front where no one could be seen, she wiped her face from the mixture of hot and cold sweat Cheng sweated, and bit his lower lip unwillingly, "Bastard...! What's wrong with me...!"
Since tonight... hardly a good thing has happened to her.
One bad thing after another.
The whereabouts of the family are unknown, the house is burned, and you want to help the person you like escape but you can't even do something as simple as catching up with the enemy...
A strong sense of helplessness hit Isshika's heart, and turned into streams of heat to wrap Isshiki's eyeballs.
Just when the tears were about to fall, Isshiki raised her left hand, wiped her eyes vigorously with the back of her left hand, held her breath, forced back the tears, then turned around and hurried back to the place where Ogata had just been put down. place.
As soon as he returned to Ogata's side, Isshiki saw Ogata who was putting his hands on the ground and trying to get up, but his body was weak, and it was already the limit for Ogata to prop up his upper body. Stand up with your whole body.
Seeing Yishihua came back, he asked:
"What's wrong? There are chasing soldiers... are they coming..."
"Yeah." Isshiki nodded, then retracted the sword in her hand into Ogata's sheath, leaned over and hung Ogata's left arm around her neck again, "I'm sorry... I couldn't stop that People... it's not safe here, let's go."
After all, Isshika pulled Ogata involuntarily and strode forward.
"...Miss Isshiki."
"Ok?"
Ogata raised his gaze and looked directly into Isshiki's eyes.
Obviously it was difficult for him to even speak now, but Ogata still looked straight into Isshika's eyes in a serious tone, and said sternly every word.
"It's...enough...thank you for all the help you've given me tonight..."
"Since...our location...has been...discovered..."
"Then it won't be long... There should be a lot of chasing soldiers... to kill..."
"At our... current speed... being caught up... is just a matter of... sooner or later..."
"You...you don't need to fall into my...this muddy water..."
"Get out of here alone..."
"If it's just you...you can definitely get out of here..."
After finishing speaking, Ogata was ready to push Isshiki who was supporting him away.
But who knows, when trying to push Isshika away, Ogata was surprised to find that——Isshiki actually increased the strength of holding his shoulders.
"Am I leaving alone? Your body is so weak now that you can't even stand upright. If I abandon you and leave, what will you do?" Isshika stared at Ogata several times with a look of anger. Eye.
"Do not worry about me……"
"'Don't worry about you'? You don't even believe this kind of words, do you?"
"If I abandon you now, who am I?"
"When we dealt with the pirates together, if you hadn't saved me in time, I'm afraid I would have died at the hands of the pirates."
"It was thanks to your timely help that I was not injured by that An Yun in the 'big test match' a few days ago."
"You helped me twice, one of which was saving my life."
"Although I am a daughter, I am also the daughter of a Wu family from a Wu family."
"I would rather die than do something that insults the Wu Family like 'abandoning my lifesaver."
After saying that, Isshika tightened the hands that supported Ogata's shoulders again.
"We're not at the end of the road yet."
Isshiki Hana forced out a not-so-pretty smile.
"We're just getting our location discovered."
"Wait for the person who found our location to report to the large army, and then wait for the large army to chase this way. This process will definitely take a lot of time."
"So we still have plenty of time to escape and hide..."
Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha!
The sound of quiet footsteps as dense as a swarm of bees suddenly sounded from behind Ogata and Isshiki.
The sound of footsteps one after another made Isshika's smile, who was still smiling and telling Ogata that they were not yet at the end of the road, froze instantly.
...
...
——Ahh...it went well!
Saemon, who carried the naginata on his shoulders, smiled triumphantly as he led the team forward.
Not long ago, after receiving Yoshihisa's order to "discover Ogata Isai or his gang at the northwest corner of Osaka, all groups except the 9, 12, 13, and 15 groups should immediately gather there", the left and right guards Men immediately led his team and rushed to the northwest corner of Osaka where Ogata was said to have been discovered.
The battle that Ji Jiu made this time is not insignificant.
Not only mobilized most of the musketeer troops, but also dispatched a large number of Iga ninjas to this place, responsible for the location of the gang that came to find Ogata or Ogata.
Originally, Yoshiemon thought—even if he knew that Ogata and his gang were in the northwest corner of Osaka, it would be extremely difficult to find them. After all, Ogata and the others were not puppets who could not move or escape. , how easy is it to find them?
However, things are always so unpredictable.
Just now, a famous Iga ninja brought a piece of news that Yoshiemon couldn't believe his ears——in the outskirts northwest of Osaka, Ogata Ittosai was found!
His current physical condition looks very poor, and he is being supported by a very beautiful woman. The two are currently fleeing out of Osaka.
When this news came, Sawaiemon was stunned for several seconds as if lost in his soul.
Immediately afterwards, a joy that could not be concealed appeared on his face at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Because there are still some fan groups that have not yet arrived in the northwest corner of Osaka, there are currently only 8 fan groups 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, and 11 gathered in the northwest corner of Osaka.
The number sounds like a lot, but in fact many of them are disabled.
Groups 3 and 7 were seriously injured, and groups 4 and 5 had almost no people left.
Without exception, they were all maimed and disabled by Ogata in the series of battles with Ogata just now.
That is to say - 8 groups, it sounds like a lot of people, but there are not many people left in 4 of them, and the total strength of these 8 groups is just enough for 250 people.
I finally found Ogata, but I can't let him escape!
Therefore, in order not to delay the opportunity of the battle, Saeemon immediately asked the 8 groups that have successfully assembled in the northwest corner of Osaka to immediately follow him to chase Ogata, and at the same time asked the ninjas to also rush to the place where Ogata was just discovered, and continue to help They tracked and located Ogata's location.
In the outskirts of Osaka, there are no dense houses and narrow streets for Ogata to take advantage of close combat.
What's more, according to the report of the Iga ninja who discovered Ogata's location—that Ogata Ittosai, for some reason, is currently in a terrible physical condition, and even needs a woman to support him when he walks.
Yoshiemon didn't know why Ogata, who had fought fiercely with him not long ago, suddenly became so weak, and he didn't want to know the reason. It's enough time to kill him!
In a terrain that is so favorable to them, use 8 squads and 250 musketeers to deal with Ogata who is now extremely weak... No matter how Saeemon thinks, he can't think of them who have the advantage, what else can they have? The reason for losing to Ogata!
250 musketeers, under the unified command of Left and Right Gate, double-teamed from all directions in the direction where Ogata was found just now.
"Master Yoshiemon!" A shinobi from Iga suddenly jumped off a tree, and then ran to the side of Yoshiemon. At the same running speed, he quickly reported to the left and right gates, "Sura is running to the northeast! Shura is running to the northeast!"
"Northeast..." Soemon immediately adjusted his running direction and ran towards the northeast.
Not long after, a new ninja came and informed Yomomon of Ogata's latest location, so Yoshiemon corrected his pursuit direction again.
Soyemon just kept repeating the steps of "reported Ogata's latest location by the ninja, and corrected the direction of pursuit".
Soon—the left and right guards let out a low "um" sound, then held their breath and listened intently.
Under the transformation of "immortal power", Zuoweimen is not only physically strong, but even his five senses are far beyond ordinary people.
He heard it keenly—not far in front of him, there were 2 very hurried footsteps.
A ferocious and smug smile filled the cheeks and pupils of Left and Right Monon.
After a while, another ninja came to report the latest location of Ogata and the others to Yoshiemon.
After listening to the ninja's new report, Saeemon stopped the ninja when the ninja was about to leave.
"Hey, go and tell all your ninja companions, whether it's shooting darts or shooting shuriken, in short, do everything I can to get the woman who is helping Shura to escape to stop!"
"Ah! But remember—don't kill her!"
...
...
"Ha...! Ha...! Ha...! Ha...!"
Breathing through the mouth too frequently and violently, Isshiki now feels that her throat is terribly dry.
Not only was her throat uncomfortable, but Isshiki felt that her chest was also in excruciating pain. It felt like her chest was about to burst, and her lungs were aching.
Ever since Isshiki was born, she has never been so eager to sit down and have a good rest.
But she dared not stop.
She dared not rest.
The sound of approaching footsteps coming from behind him, to Yishihua, was like the footsteps of Impermanence in Black and White, King Yama.
In addition to the sound of footsteps, Yishihua also heard the sound of "Sashasha" leaves shaking behind her.
She knew—it was probably the sound of those men in black moving in the trees.
Those men in black should be constantly looking for and confirming the location of her and Ogata, and then positioning their large troops.
Isshiki is very annoyed now.
She knew that if she didn't try to deal with these men in black quickly, even if she and Ogata ran to the exhaustion of strength, they would not be able to escape the pursuit of those behind them.
But she couldn't think of any way to counter those men in black...
Her skills are not so agile, and she can't walk on the tree like these men in black.
And she dare not stop now.
She felt that as long as she stopped now, the pursuers behind her and Ogata would be killed immediately.
Faced with this dilemma, the only thing Yishihua knows she can do at present... is to run away.
Take Ogata...run forward...
Isshiki gritted her teeth, then silently tightened the strength of the hands that were supporting Ogata again.
This is the wonderful phenomenon she discovered just now.
Just hugging Ogata tightly, you will feel a new power pouring out of your body, this power suppresses the restlessness and fear in Isshiki's heart, and instills new strength into her legs.
Even though there were hundreds of pursuers behind him, even though the sound of footsteps chasing behind him was like waves, Isshika still supported Ogata with a firm face and did not let go.
It's a pity...it seems like the heavens are going to play with the two of them with determination——
"what--!"
Isshiki suddenly felt a tearing pain in her right calf.
With a scream, she and Ogata both fell forward.
While running fast, he suddenly fell to the ground—the pain was so painful that I don't need to elaborate.
Isshiki saw the dark mud rushing towards her, followed by Venus flying in front of her eyes, and severe pain came from the forehead, bridge of the nose, arms, and flanks.
"Master Yi Dao Zhai, are you alright?"
Isshiki went to see her injury, but endured the pain first, and went to check whether Ogata, who was caused by her to fall to the ground, was injured.
"I'm fine..."
After confirming that Ogata was fine, Isshika came to check on her injuries.
Although I fell very painfully just now, I didn't hurt myself from the fall, only the forehead and the bridge of the nose were scratched.
The only seriously injured place on Isshiki's body...was her right calf.
I saw a shuriken sinking deeply into the calf of her right calf.
And this is also the main culprit that caused Yishihua to fall.
After receiving the order to "stop Isshika" from the left and right gates, the Iga ninjas who were chasing Ogata and the two kept looking for a chance to stop Isshika.
If the order given by Yoshiemon was to "kill that woman", then this task would be much easier to handle, just throw the shuriken without thinking.
But the order from the left and right guards was "stop this woman".
How can the ninjas not know about the little things in the hearts of the left and right gates-"Kill Ogata" and "Kill Ogata and his accomplices", obviously the latter's achievements are more dazzling.
These ninjas, it is obviously impossible for them to have the courage to offend Yoshiemon, so they can only seriously follow the orders of Yoshiemon, carefully looking for someone who can stop Isshika, but will not kill Isshika opportunity.
Finally—just now, a certain ninja who was good at throwing shuriken saw the right timing and threw the shuriken, which stabbed Ishikika's right leg, directly disabling Isshikika's ability to move.
The face of Yisehua is now blue and white for a while.
She moved her right leg, and the pain was so painful that she felt extremely painful even standing up now.
salsa salsa...
From the surrounding trees, there was a dense "Sashasha" leaf shaking sound at this time.
Isshiki looked up - more than a dozen men in black were scattered on the big trees around her and Ogata.
Neither close nor far away.
So quietly surrounded Ogata and Isshiki.
rumbling rumbling...
A huge number of pursuers were approaching, and the sound of footsteps merged into a "rumbling" sound, like thunder.
--how so……
Like a defeated rooster, Isshiki slowly lowered her head, biting her lips tightly with such force that she wanted to bite her lips.
at this time--
"Eh……?"
From the corner of Yishihua's eyes, he caught a glimpse of a small stone statue whose name must be known even if he is not a Buddhist worshiper, standing under the root of a big tree next to him.
"Ksitigarbha...Bodhisattva..."
Stone statues of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva can be seen everywhere on the streets of Japan, because in Japan, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is considered to be the Bodhisattva who gives priority to helping the weakest people, and is the patron saint of children, travel, and traffic safety.
Yishihua stared blankly at this Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva with a dull gaze as if she had lost her soul...
...
...
——It's over...is it over...
Ogata struggled to prop up his upper body, and slowly pulled out the battering knife that was exchanged from Ishikawa but was now in tatters.
——Unexpectedly...I was wanted by the Edo Shogunate...in the end, I was not killed by the Tokugawa Clan...but died...at the hands of the Toyotomi Clan...
——No...maybe...before being killed by Toyotomi...I will be killed by the "immortal poison" in my body...
From just now, Ogata has been feeling very sleepy for some reason.
The two eyelids were so heavy that they couldn't open them wide.
After experiencing this series of changes tonight, no matter what special changes have occurred in his body, Ogata will no longer be surprised.
"Miss Isshiki...I will...will try my best...to fight a way...you take the opportunity to escape..."
"I beg you...don't be stubborn...you still...have a chance to live..."
Snapped! Snapped!
Before Ogata could finish his sentence, his words were interrupted by 2 applause.
On the Xu side, he turned his head and looked suspiciously—Isshiki closed her eyes tightly, clasped her hands together, and made a gesture of worship to the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in front of her.
Before Ogata had time to ask "why", Isshika opened his eyes and smiled at Ogata.
"I have always believed in Buddha."
"Every day, I recite the scriptures seriously and pay respect to the Buddha."
The corner of Yishika's mouth that was raised upwards was slowly pulled down.
The eye sockets also became red at an extremely fast speed.
Her voice... also began to tremble, turning into intermittent crying.
"So, so, no, no, there is no need to be afraid...!"
"Buddha, Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva... will definitely listen to my wish... I will protect you and my family..."
She was clearly facing Ogata, but what she said... seemed to be speaking to herself.
Isshiki's appearance of crying, and what she said just now, made Ogata's expression startled.
When he was about to say something—
A fragrant wind rushed towards Xu Fang.
Ogata felt the touch of soft petals covering his lips.
"Master Yidao Zhai... I like you."
Isshiki slowly separated her lips from Ogata's, and big teardrops rolled down from her eye sockets and ran down her cheeks.
"I'm afraid I won't have a chance to say this to you again in the future."
After finishing speaking, Isshiki wiped away the tears in her eyes vigorously with her hand, then pulled out the waist gap around her waist, stood on one foot with her intact left leg, and then hopped onto Ogata's body in a single-leg hop Facing the direction where the bursts of "thunder" came from, with a resolute face, he set up the knife.
"etc……"
Looking at the back of Isshiki standing in front of him, Ogata struggled to stand up.
But suddenly, he suddenly felt his head was hit hard by a heavy hammer!
The pain, dizziness, and drowsiness that were so strong that Ogata felt that his head was about to split, and Ogata felt that his head was about to split into countless pieces.
It feels like inserting a water pipe into one's ear, and then pouring all the sea water in the sea into Ogata's brain along this water pipe in one breath.
The heaviness of the eyelids also increased countless times in an instant.
He subconsciously wanted to lift his eyelids, but his weak "resistance" didn't hold on for even an instant, and was instantly defeated.
The eyelids... closed uncontrollably.
The world in front of my eyes... returned to a darkness like nothingness.
...
...
...
...
Am I... dead?
...
I was actually killed not by Toyotomi, but by the "immortal poison"...
...
What a...absurd way to die...
...
I can't see anything... Is this the world after death...
...
I don't feel pain, I don't feel dizzy... I finally feel much better.
...
Thinking about it carefully...my death...seems to be a kind of relief...
...
Since crossing, either he was injured, or he was on the way to injury...
...
Leaving aside the bruises all over her body, she couldn't even live with A-Ming in her true colors. She didn't let A-Ming live a good life, and caused her to be separated from me all the time...
...
I'm really sorry for Macho... I don't even have the ability to let her live a peaceful life...
...
This kind of life that is always hurt and unable to show its true colors is finally... is it over...
...
everything is over……
...
it's over……
...
...
...
...
"Ok?"
Ogata blinked his eyes hard twice, and scanned the surroundings with astonishment.
The surrounding scenery is extremely familiar.
Familiar enough to recognize where this is with just one glance.
This is the dojo of Sakakibara Kenkan.
The small dojo, the knife holders and wooden knives neatly placed on the side of the dojo, the few stains on the ceiling and the floor that cannot be cleaned... everything is similar to the Sakakibara sword in Ogata's memory The museum is no different.
call! call! call!
Ogata heard the sound of a wooden knife waving behind him.
He turned his head and looked back.
Such a statement... might be strange, but Ogata did see himself.
Not seeing yourself reflected in the mirror.
Instead, he really saw another self in the center of the dojo behind him, practicing swinging a knife meticulously facing the air in front of him.
