Chapter 708 A True Warrior Must Dare to Split Sail Battleships at Sea! 【Six Thousand】

The latest website: Yuanyi looked up and down Chuguang who buried his head low with a scrutinizing gaze.

"...Okay, then you can come together."

Genichi, who has a straightforward personality, makes decisions and speaks straightforwardly as always, never being a mother-in-law.

From listening to Chuguang's words to making a decision, it only took a few seconds.

"Master Yuan." As soon as Yuan said a word, the first to react violently was not Chuguang, but Asai.

Asai lowered his voice and brought his lips close to Genichi's ear:

"Are you serious? Do you really want this kind of person who has just met us to act with us? What if she suddenly drags us back or betrays us when we are acting?"

"It doesn't matter." Yuan Yi smiled flatly, "Anyway, it won't take much effort to bring her alone."

"With me and Jiangong here, she can't do anything against us."

"And I think what she said just now is not unreasonable-bringing people who are familiar with Toyotomi and Iga by her side may have some unexpected effects."

"Since she is willing to follow us, let's take her as she wishes."

"...Now you are in charge." Asai said helplessly, "You can do whatever you say..."

"I can't thank you enough..." Chu Guang lowered his already low head even lower, and thanked Yuan with a salute.

"Then..." Yuan Yi raised his hand and scratched his hair at this moment, and looked around at the people around him, "Let's decide, who will go to Koyasan."

"Tanshi."

Yuan Yi first set his sights on Feng Mo whose waist was still hurting, so he had to bend his waist.

"Tonight... Thank you so much for your help."

"Let's leave it to us to deal with the rest of the matter slowly."

"Stay at ease in Osaka and rest."

Feng Mo raised his hand and hammered his lower back, and then said in a joking tone: "Yuan Yi,

You are really kind, I was so tired that I could barely stand up tonight, so you just sent me away with a 'thank you'. "

"I'll buy you a drink later." Yuan Yi grinned, "Drink until you vomit."

"And then... Asai, Shimada."

Gen turned his gaze to Asai and Shimada.

"The injuries on your body are not serious, you two should stay in Osaka to recuperate obediently."

In the previous battle in Longshui Temple, Asai's abdomen was accidentally burned by the flames caused by the explosion, while Shimada was crushed and injured his leg by the collapsed beam.

The two of them were injured, and their skills are greatly reduced now, especially Shimada, who can hardly even walk quickly.

Asai had always obeyed Genichi's orders.

But who knows—after Genichi's order just fell, Asai was heard rebuffing in a strong tone:

"No, Gen-sama. We're going to Koyasan too."

"Asai." Genichi frowned, "As far as I know—you don't seem to be the kind of idiot who insists on straining his body even though he knows he has been injured."

"I know that Shimada and I are injured now, and we are not suitable for fighting anymore." Asai said slowly, "So, what I said just now 'we are going to Mount Koya' does not mean that we also have to carry knives and follow You charge up Koyasan."

"Although Shimada and I can no longer fight, we still have the ability to drive."

"Let me and Shimada drive the carriage for you."

"Shimada and I will send you to Koyasan. In this way, you don't need to take turns to change the guard and drive. You can sleep in the carriage and recover your strength with peace of mind."

Having said that, Asai paused for a while.

"...It is the lord who gave me a place to stay, who has no other strengths except swordsmanship." After a pause, Asai continued in a deep voice, "If the lord hadn't taken in me, I might still be a person with no merits. The rest of the vagrants."

"Now the lord is in danger, no matter what, I want to do everything I can to save the lord."

"I hope you can understand my feelings, Mr. Yuan."

At this time, Shimada on the side quickly echoed:

"Senior Asai said it well. Although the two of us can't fight now, we can still help you drive."

"Master Yuan, please let us go together!"

Genichi pursed his lips lightly, looked at Asai with complicated eyes, and then at Shimada.

"...I see." Yuan Yi nodded lightly, "Then you two can help us drive."

When Asai and Shimada were "bargaining" with Genichi, Ogata was also "bargaining" with his small team.

"...A-machi, even if I told you not to follow me to Koyasan, you wouldn't listen, would you?"

Although Ogata's sentence pattern is a question sentence asking about A-Machi, his tone is like an affirmative sentence, as if he already knew what A-Machi would answer.

"Of course." Ah-cho puffed out her chest, and she gave this short answer without any hesitation, "Stay in Osaka and wait for your return from Mount Koya obediently—do you think this kind of thing is like something I would do? ?”

"I also have... a lot of things that I can do, and probably only I can do."

A-Ming smiled and raised his hand to pat the pistol in her arms.

"...Then after you arrive at Mt. Koya, you have to follow Master Takamoto and the others, and you must pay attention to safety no matter what." After smiling helplessly at A-cho, Ogata turned his gaze to Azuki who was at the side.

"Azuki, you stay in Osaka."

"Why?" A Zhu was taken aback, then asked anxiously and loudly.

"Because you don't have the need to participate in our dispute with the Toyotomi clan." Ogata explained calmly, "There is an unknown force on Mount Koya, and this trip to Mount Koya is bound to be very dangerous."

"In the dispute between us and Toyotomi, you are an outsider. You don't need to take risks with us."

"Listen to me obediently and stay here."

"……don't want."

Azhu lowered his head, biting his lower lip with his upper teeth.

"I will follow you to Koyasan too."

Hearing Azuku's resolute response, Ogata was startled for a moment, then frowned slightly, and then slowly relaxed his brows.

"why?"

Ogata asked.

"Can you tell me why?"

"If you can't give me a reason that can convince me, I won't let you follow us to Mount Koya."

The look of hesitation slowly climbed up Azhu's pupils and cheeks at this time.

"...Come here with your ears."

Azuki Asaogata and Acho, the couple, waved.

The couple standing side by side moved their left and right ears towards A Zhu.

A Zhu moved his small mouth to the big and small ears, and quickly said something to the two.

After Azuku finished speaking, the faces of Ogata and Acho were full of astonishment.

"Are you telling the truth?" A-Ming stared at A-Zhu with her beautiful eyes.

"Hmm..." A Zhu nodded lightly, "I can assure you, I won't say or make a mistake..."

"So that's what happened..." Ogata raised his hand and scratched his hair, and sighed heavily, "You can tell us about this kind of thing earlier..."

"Sorry..." Azuki muttered, "I couldn't find a chance to talk to you about this just now..."

"...I see." Ogata sighed again, and put down his hand scratching his hair, "Then you can go to Mount Koya with us."

"When you arrive at Koyasan, remember to follow Genda-sama and the others closely, and don't walk away."

"Yes!" Azuki nodded his head vigorously with a joyful expression on his face.

After arranging for A-Ming and A-Zhu, Ogata's eyes slowly moved to... the last member of his "small team".

"Miss Yishi, you stay here."

"Eh?" Isshika showed the same blank expression as A Zhu just now.

Ogata didn't give Isshika any chance to react, while Isshika was still in a daze, he said to Isshika in an unquestionable tone:

"I can understand your concern for your family."

"But this trip to Mount Koya is really not suitable for you."

"Your level of swordsmanship is acceptable, but you still lack actual combat experience."

"The Toyotomi family's most indispensable thing is a guy who kills without blinking an eye."

"What's more - you still have injuries on your body."

Ogata glanced at Isshiki's calf that was accidentally stabbed by Iga ninja's shuriken when he was helping him escape.

"So... you can stay in Osaka with peace of mind and wait for our good news."

"But, but..." Isshiki wanted to refute Ogata's words subconsciously.

But after muttering for a while, Isshiki found out with great reluctance that she couldn't refute Ogata's words at all.

Based on his current state, following Ogata and the others to Mount Koya would only hinder everyone.

Looking at the tangled face of Isshika, Ogata's originally tense face gradually softened.

"...Miss Isshiki, don't worry."

"I will definitely save your family."

"...I see." Isshiki was silent for a long time, and finally took a deep breath, and then whispered what Ogata wanted to hear most from Isshiki's mouth now.

Hearing Isshika's answer, Ogata couldn't help but let out a long breath.

"Everyone! I have already brought the carriage!"

At this moment, Jian Gong's voice came out suddenly.

"Gamiya?" Yuan Yi looked at Jiangong who came back sweating profusely, "You brought the carriage here? So fast? Where did you come from?"

"A certain rice merchant nearby." Mamiya smiled slightly, "I used to be ordered by my lord to come to Osaka to do business with certain rice merchants."

"I clearly remember that one of the rice merchants had a large family business and kept several horse carts and donkey carts specially used to transport rice."

"I borrowed two of their carriages."

"Of course—I didn't borrow anything for nothing. I paid them the rental fee. The rental fee I paid is probably enough for them to buy four carriages of the same model."

Jian Gong's words...or this terrible action and efficiency made everyone present speechless.

Genichi turned his head and cast a playful look at Shimada beside him.

This pair of eyes seemed to be saying to Shimada: How about it? I didn't lie to you, did I? It's no problem to hand over the task to Gamiya.

"Since the carriage has been brought." Genichi said in a loud voice after withdrawing his playful gaze from Shimada, "Then there is no need to delay - let's go to Mount Koya!"

"Komachi, Komachi."

At this moment, A-Ming suddenly heard Fuma calling her.

Turning his head to look, he saw Fumo limping towards Ah Ding while rubbing his lower back.

"My lord, what's the matter?"

Ah-Ming hurried to meet him.

"After going to Mount Koya, you must be careful."

The Fuma at this moment is no longer like the last leader of the Fuma Village, but more like an ordinary old man who cares about his younger generation.

"Don't worry, old man." A-Machi smiled, "I'm no longer the one in Shiranui who can't do anything without a firearm."

"...I think so." Fumo slowly showed a gratifying smile to A-Ming, "More than a month ago, when I reunited with you in Kyoto, I noticed that you seem to have changed."

"Become a lot more mature than before."

"You used to be like a child."

"And now you are already like a decent adult."

"Sure enough, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books."

"It's only half a year of traveling with brother Ogata, and you have changed so much."

After chuckling a few times with a somewhat joyful tone, Feng Mo reached into his arms, and then took out a small paper bag from his arms.

"Although because of my waist, I can no longer continue to help you."

"But it's not really that I can't help at all."

"Komachi, this is for you. Compared to Brother Ogata and others, it is more appropriate to give this to you."

"This is?" A-Ming asked suspiciously.

"This is the new profound meaning of Fumoliu that I accidentally researched when I got old." Fumo said in a proud tone, "This paper bag contains my special powder."

"Just spilling this in someone's eyes will make the eyes sore."

"The most powerful part of this powder is that it is difficult to remove."

"It takes a lot of water to wash it off."

"If it is used flexibly, it may be able to play a great role."

"Because this powder is difficult to make, this is the last pack of powder on me, so use it with caution."

"Oh..." Ah-Ming showed a suddenly realized expression, "When you attacked Longshui Temple tonight, this is what you threw in the face of that crazy woman, my lord."

"Yes, yes." Feng Mo nodded, "This powder is very easy to use, you should have heard how miserable that crazy woman's cry is, right?"

"Fuma-ryu secrets..." A-Machi played with the small paper bag in his hand with a strange expression, "Does the ninja in Shiranui use the Fuma-ryu secrets... It always feels a bit weird."

After making a little joke, A-Ming solemnly stuffed the paper bag that Fuma handed over into his bosom.

"Thank you, my lord. I will definitely use the Fuma-ryu mystery properly."

"Komachi." Fumo tried to straighten his waist, "I wish you luck in martial arts."

"Well, we'll go back as soon as we go." Ah-Ming opened her arms and gently embraced this old man whom she has always respected as an elder.

Head to Koyasan—no need to pack a bag at all.

After properly arranging the prisoners of Left and Right Gate, Ogata and others boarded the two carriages that Mamiya found.

Asai and Shimada were responsible for driving the two carriages respectively.

As Asai said to Genichi before: Although the two of them were greatly reduced due to their injuries, they still had the strength to drive while sitting on the driver's seat holding the reins.

Not counting the two non-combatants Asai and Shimada, those who went to Mount Koya were: Ogata, Acho, Azuki, Genichi, Mamiya, Makimura, Hatsumitsu, and Shibata. There are 7 people in total.

Just when Ogata was about to board the carriage that Asai was driving——

"Master Yi Dao Zhai."

Isshiki suddenly stopped him from behind.

"Miss Yishi, what's wrong?"

Ogata put down his right foot that was already on the carriage.

"Don't tell me now: You have changed your mind again and decided to follow us to Mount Koya."

Ogata spoke to Isshiki in a half-joking tone.

Folding her hands in front of her body, Isshika, who was full of ladylike demeanor, shook her head lightly.

She looked around.

After confirming that there were no outsiders around, she let go of her folded hands in front of her and reached out to Ogata.

However, just as she stretched her hands towards Ogata, she seemed to think of something, and her body paused.

I saw Yishihua bit her lip, and there was a faint hesitation in her eyes.

In the end——she silently retracted the hands that were stretched out to Ogata, and continued to fold them in front of her body.

"...Master Yi Dao Zhai, be careful in everything."

she said softly.

"Yeah." Ogata smiled, "Thank you."

"Wait for my good news in Osaka with peace of mind."

"If your family is really in Mount Koya, I will do everything I can to rescue your family."

Isshiki of the color of emotion hangs on both cheeks, showing a charming smile to Ogata.

"Master Yidao Zhai, no matter what, please protect yourself."

"If you are injured because you saved my family... I will be very sad..."

"I wish you prosperous martial arts."

"I'll wait for your return in Osaka."

...

...

...

...

Back in time to the present——

"Ogata-kun, is he here too?" Hasegawa said to Mucun after telling what happened to them last night, and cast a surprised look.

"Well, yes." Mucun said, "Brother Ogata is probably rushing to the back mountain now. You should be able to see him after a while."

"Hasegawa-kun." Genichi, who was running at the front, suddenly turned around and asked Hasegawa, "You said just now that the Toyotomi family intends to transfer you, right?"

"Well, yes." Hasegawa replied, "They just appeared suddenly and wanted to transfer us away."

"...It's troublesome." Genichi murmured, "Even the people have begun to move, it seems...the Toyotomi family is really planning to abandon Koyasan..."

"The worst situation has happened." Gamiya beside him silently echoed with a sullen face.

"Now I can only hope that Xiao Lin hasn't been transferred away..." Yuan Yi's gaze gradually became sharper.

The area of ​​this underground prison was far larger than what Yuan Yi and the others had imagined.

Genichi and the others who finally found this underground prison put all their hopes here.

If they can't find Lin here, then they don't know where else to find Lin in the future.

Fortunately - although this underground prison is relatively large, there are not many forks. Although there were many cells, they were basically empty, which made it easier for Yuan Yi and the others to find them.

The people who marched straight towards the deepest part of the underground prison finally reached the deepest part of the prison after galloping all the way for nearly 10 minutes.

The deepest part of this underground prison is a cell that looks a little ordinary at first glance.

And this seemingly ordinary cell is also the last cell of this underground prison.

Yuanyi and the others saw a figure shaking in this cell from a distance.

Everyone's hearts tightened immediately, and they hurriedly quickened their pace and approached the prison door.

As soon as they approached the prison door, Yuanichi and the others originally had expectations on their faces, but the expectations on their faces immediately turned into disappointment.

They didn't... see the beautiful figure they expected to see in this prison cell.

In this cell, there is only an old man with a disheveled face and many flies flying around him.

The old man has been curled up in the corner of the cell.

After hearing the footsteps of Yuan Yi and the others, he immediately raised his eyes, and looked at the group of "new guests" outside the cell that he had never seen before with eyes of doubt, surprise and other emotions.

"Tsk... isn't my lord in this underground prison..." Mucun clenched his hands into fists, and punched the nearby stone wall with all his might.

"... Hasegawa-kun." Genichi's expression uncontrollably became serious, and he turned his gaze to Hasegawa again, "Did you tell me when the people from the Toyotomi clan came to escort you?" What is more valuable information?"

"For example: Have you mentioned the location of other prisons?"

"Or: did you say where you are going to be taken?"

"Huh? This..."

Hasegawa raised his hand and pressed his head, frowning, trying to remember.

After a while, I finally saw Hasegawa's frowning relaxed.

"Ah, I remembered..."

"The narrow-eyed guy who came to escort us at the beginning... said to his men: 'Take them all to the coast quickly'."

"Afterwards, I asked the man who was chasing me: where we would be taken later, the man said: We would be taken to the east, but he didn't say where it was in the east."

"Coast? East?" Yuan Yi frowned.

When Genichi was about to ask Hasegawa something again——

"The coast... ho ho, then it's probably time to take the Rihui Maru and Gourd Maru and go to Edo."

"Hey, listening to your conversation just now, are you looking for someone?"

"If you want to find someone, you have to arrive at the dock of the two ships before Rihuiwan and Huluwan set sail."

"Otherwise, wait for the second ship to set sail... Hehe, you will have to use your samurai swords to smash the sailing battleship of England at sea with a fearless attitude."

A voice that no one had expected came out suddenly.

Everyone at the scene, including Yuan Yi, was stunned.

Everyone looked at the person who said this just now—the unkempt old man in the cell.
