I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Chapter 707 Ogata's Tactic: Woodpecker Tactic (Part 2)

The latest website: Seeing Mucun, who once fought side by side in Kyoto and reunited briefly in Edo, suddenly appear in front of him, it is difficult for Hasegawa not to be stunned.

The people headed by Mucun were also stunned now - they never expected that in the territory of the Toyotomi Clan, they would meet the Huofu Bandit Kai.

If anyone had the most intense reaction after seeing Hasegawa... then it must be Mamiya.

Jian Gong, who was standing behind Mu Cun, was startled when he saw Hasegawa, and then subconsciously hid behind Mu Cun.

But his movements were still slow.

After Hasegawa saw Mucun, he immediately saw Mamiya's recognizable face wearing glasses.

"Mamiya Kuro!" Hasegawa immediately frowned, "Why are you here too!"

He looked at Mucun, and then at Jiangong.

"Makimura-kun, why are you with Mamiya Kuro?"

As the only wanted criminal besides Lin in the gourd house, Mamiya has been tracked down by Huofu thieves for a long time. Hasegawa has already remembered Mamiya's face so well that he can't be more familiar with it.

Some of the old Huofu Thief Kai who were present at the scene also recognized Gamiya at almost the same moment, staring at Gamiya closely, the surrounding atmosphere immediately became tense.

At this time, it was Mucun who said in time:

"Mr. Hasegawa, now is not a good time for you and me to confront each other here."

"About Gamiya, I will explain it to you later when I have time."

"Now let's calm down and have a good chat together."

Hasegawa is not someone who can't tell the priority of things.

Even without Mucun's reminder, he still knows what is the most urgent thing right now, and what things can be taken care of later.

The eyebrows that were originally furrowed slowly relaxed, and he raised his hand to signal the surrounding subordinates to take it easy.

Hasegawa still trusts Mu Cun, a comrade who once fought side by side.

And when Hasegawa signaled his subordinates to take it easy——

"Mr. Isshiki?"

A pleasant female voice sounded from behind Mucun.

Immediately afterwards, Hasegawa caught a glimpse of a beautiful figure rushing out from behind Mu Cun.

After this beautiful figure appeared, Hasegawa heard Naoshu Isshiki behind him exclaim:

"Miss Machi?!"

This beautiful figure is none other than Ah Ding.

Although A-cho doesn't know Isshiki Rushui and Isshiki, she knows Isshiki Naoshu.

Looking at Naoki who was standing behind Hasegawa, the joyful Amachi let out a sigh of relief.

"Great...you're all right."

"Huh? Mr. Isshiki." Hasegawa asked, "Did you guys know each other before?"

Although Hasegawa knew Ogata very well, he had never met Ogata's wife, nor did he know Ogata.

"Hmm..." Seeing the long-lost reunion, Naosuke was overjoyed at first, but then he seemed to have thought of something, his eyes narrowed, and he didn't dare to look at Ah-ding, "We know each other..."

"Isshiki..." Genichi muttered at this moment, "Miss A-Machi, are they Miss Isshika's family? It seems that we are lucky to find Miss Isshika's family back so quickly."

Hearing the name "Isshiki", Naoki and the others immediately cast their urgent gazes at Yuan Yi as if they were electrocuted.

"Do you know Xiao Hua?" Isshiki, who was eager for Si Nu, was the first to ask quickly.

"Yeah." Yuan nodded, "Miss Isshiki is currently in Osaka, she is very safe now."

As soon as Yuan Yi said this, Isshi seemed to lose strength in both legs, and collapsed to the ground. Fortunately, Isshi beside her had quick eyes and hands, and reached out to support her in time.

"Thank you Bodhisattva...Thank you Bodhisattva..." Yishishi looked like he was about to cry.

"Mr. Hasegawa." Mucun asked Hasegawa with a puzzled face at this time, "Why are you here with the Isshiki family?"

"That's a long story. Simply put—we were captured."

Hasegawa introduced the situation on their side to Mucun and his party in as simple a sentence as possible.

"...All in all, that's the way it is. I'm planning to escape from here now."

"Have you been locked up here recently? Have you ever seen a shorter girl?" Mucun asked anxiously.

"Shorter girl?" Hasegawa tilted his head and pondered, "Well... I haven't seen it before."

Hearing Hasegawa's last words, Mucun couldn't help showing a look of disappointment on his face.

"What about you?" Hasegawa asked back at this time, "Why did you come here?"

"We are here to find someone." Gamiya, who had been silent just now, replied in a flat tone, "As for who the person we are looking for, please allow us to keep it a secret."

"Looking for someone?" Hearing Mamiya's answer, Hasegawa fell silent.

After a long silence, I heard Hasegawa speak again:

"That being the case... can you cooperate with us?"

"Cooperation?" Yuan Yi raised his eyebrows with interest, "How about cooperation?"

"We have a lot of people here, and all of them are basically the elite of my Huofu thief reform. When it comes to finding people, those of us who specialize in catching thieves also have some experience." Hasegawa said, "We will help you find people together." , and afterwards you only need to assist us to leave this place.”

Just now, after meeting Mucun, Hasegawa has actually been thinking about cooperation.

Hasegawa's idea is simple - the more people there are, the greater the strength and the greater the chance of escaping.

Even though he has rescued his subordinates now and is no longer a polished commander, Hasegawa still dare not pat his chest and guarantee that he will be able to escape successfully.

Especially after the fight with Gao Qing just now, Hasegawa was even more clueless after seeing the level of organization and training of Toyotomi's tribe.

The most important thing right now is to escape from here as soon as possible.

Anything other than that can be let go and tolerated-including fighting side by side with Kuro Mamiya, whom they have been tracking for a long time.

Maybe it's because he used to be a gangster on the street. Hasegawa's thinking is extremely flexible, never rigid, and he pursues pragmatism. As long as it is beneficial to his current goal, the original enemy can also be a comrade-in-arms.

Hasegawa thought in his mind: Instead of continuing to "fight alone", it is better to cooperate directly with Mucun and the others. With the help of Jiangong and Mucun who can be as powerful as a hundred, the chances of escaping from this place will be greatly increased .

Seeing Hasegawa straightforwardly throwing out the cooperation invitation, Yuan Yi smiled:

"Is it possible to cooperate with Huofu Thief Kai... It's not impossible. But I'm ugly at the beginning-we may spend a lot of time looking for people, that is to say, it should take a long time before we have that Leisure time to help you get out of here. Even so, are you willing?"

"It's okay." Hasegawa said without thinking.

"Since you think it's okay, let's follow." Yuan Yi waved his hand.

"...Master Genichi, do you really want to bring Mr. Hasegawa with you?" Mamiya lowered his voice at this time, and asked Genichi at a volume that only he and Genichi could hear clearly, "Isshiki's family must I have to bring them, but Mr. Hasegawa and the others...they can't bring us much help, if we bring them, we always feel that our team will become a lot bloated."

"There's nothing wrong with it." Genichi smiled casually, and responded in a low voice, "From the current situation... Ogata-kun's 'woodpecker tactics' has probably been seen through, and the Toyotomi family is not facing us at all. Fighting hard, I just plan to give up and leave Koyasan directly."

"In the current situation, it doesn't matter to us whether we bring Hasegawa or not."

"Since that's the case, it's better to bring them directly. With them, they may play some unexpected role."

"...I understand." Mamiya nodded lightly, then silently took a step sideways, leaving Yuanichi's side.

"Since you have decided to act with us, let's follow!" Genichi said loudly to Hasegawa and his party, "We plan to thoroughly investigate this prison. See if there is anyone we are looking for in this prison." people."

Hasegawa and the others had some wounded who were injured in the battle with Gao Qing and others just now—fortunately, there were no serious wounded, and all wounded were minor injuries that would not kill immediately.

The wounded were supported by those who were not injured, and followed Yuanyi and his party in a long line.

Although Hasegawa's leg was shot, he could barely walk.

Hasegawa, who was limping while walking, forced himself to walk side by side with the only person he knew well: Mucun, and asked Mucun:

"Mr. Mucun, how did you find this prison?"

"Where should I start... We used the 'Woodpecker Warfare' to find this place." Mucun slowly explained, "We have been lurking on a certain high ground at the back of Koya Mountain, waiting and tracking the Toyotomi army. trend."

"We have just been very lucky to find a unit of Toyotomi's army."

"We followed the Toyotomi Army's troops and finally successfully found this underground prison."

The "a Toyotomi army" that Mucun just mentioned was Gao Qing's army.

When Gao Qing hurriedly led his men to the prison to check the situation, Yuan Yi and his team spotted them with binoculars.

Yuan Yi and his group followed behind Gao Qing and the others, and finally found the underground prison smoothly under Gao Qing's "leading the way".

"Woodpecker tactics?" Hasegawa continued to ask.

"Where should I start to explain this..." Mu Cun said with a wry smile.

...

...

...

...

Back in time to last night in Osaka——

After Ogata said "Can I express my opinion", everyone present turned their heads to look at Ogata.

"An opinion?" Asai raised his eyebrows, then looked Ogata up and down several times, "Ogata-kun, are you... planning to help us rescue the Lord?"

Ogata smiled slightly, and then said very bluntly:

"It's not."

"Of course I'm also happy to help you guys rescue Miss Lin back."

"After all, Miss Lin is also a comrade-in-arms who once fought side by side with me."

"But that's not the main reason why I want to join forces with you."

"Tonight... I have received a lot of 'care' from Toyotomi."

"Not only was I almost killed, but even A-Ming was almost killed."

"Machi and I were almost finished—it's not something you can just laugh about."

Ogata narrowed his eyes slightly, and his tone gradually became cold.

"Even if I take a step back—if I ignore Toyotomi this time and choose to take A-Machi and leave this right and wrong place as soon as possible, then God knows whether Toyotomi will come to trouble us next time."

"Toyotomi's debt to me is not limited to this."

At this moment, Ogata's hand caressed Da Shitian and Da Zizai on his waist.

"Master Yu Er, who helped me repair the knife...his skills are really amazing."

"He repaired my saber like new."

"In the end, because of the Toyotomi family, I didn't even have the chance to thank him..."

"Therefore, no matter from the point of view of avenging myself, A-Machi, and Master Yuer, or from the point of view of self-preservation, the relationship with Toyotomi cannot just be settled like this."

"It has now been confirmed that the Toyotomi clan has established a large-scale stronghold on Mount Koya, and there is a high probability that the leader of the Toyotomi clan is on Mount Koya at this time—this is an opportunity to solve the problems of the Toyotomi clan at once. If you miss it, you may never see it again.”

"What's more--I have already promised others."

Ogata glanced at Isshiki not far away at this time.

"I have already promised her: I will definitely bring back her captured family members intact."

"So—Master Yuan, our current goals are the same."

Ogata looked at Genichi on the opposite side, and smiled.

"You want to save someone from Toyotomi."

"But I want to save people from the Toyotomi family and settle accounts with the Toyotomi family."

"So let us form an alliance again."

"It's like how we worked together to deal with Shiranui last year."

"This time, we will work together to deal with Toyotomi."

Genichi seemed not surprised by Ogata's remarks just now, his expression was normal.

After seeing him smile freely and freely, he gave a straightforward reply that was quite in line with his straightforward temperament:

"OK."

"To have Ogata-kun's help, we can only wish for it."

"However——Ogata-kun, you made a mistake just now."

The smile on Yuanyi's face slowly disappeared.

"We... don't just want to snatch Xiaolin back."

"If there is a chance, we also want to teach that bastard Xinxiu a lesson."

"Every kindness must be repaid, and every enmity must be avenged—this is the style of our gourd house."

"We never do this kind of thing when we suffer a loss but swallow our anger."

"Ogata-kun, you said just now that you wanted to express your opinion. Now, please express your opinion quickly, and we will all listen."

Ogata nodded, then said slowly:

"Now, even if the right-hand man opens his mouth and tells us that he is willing to tell us everything he knows, we can't just believe what he said."

"After all, he is Toyotomi Nobuhide's confidant."

"Who knows if he will deliberately make up a lot of lies in order to confuse us or frame us."

"At this stage, we have captured a sufficiently high-level character, only the left and right guards."

"It is impossible to cross-check the information given by other high-ranking personnel, and it is difficult to falsify the information given by the left and right gates."

"Now we, if we step by step to pry the information from the left and right gates, and then falsify every piece of information he said, it will take too much time."

"Personally, I think it's not suitable for us who are in a hurry to pry information from the left and right gates slowly."

"Everyone—"

Ogata raised his eyes and looked around at the people around him.

"I have a plan now, I wonder if you would like to hear it."

"I would like to hear the details." Yuan Yi said first without thinking.

After Yuan Yi finished speaking, the rest of the people nodded in agreement.

"My plan...it may be more convenient to explain it in conjunction with the map of Koyasan."

Having said that, Ogata turned to look at Isshika.

"Miss Isshiki. Excuse me, can you please draw a map of Koyasan now?"

"Now?" Yishihua was surprised.

"That's right, now." Ogata looked around, "Is there any pen and paper in this temple?"

"This temple is so big, if you look for it, you should be able to find a pen and paper." Jian Gong replied.

Ogata and others worked together to search all over the temple, and finally found a small stack of rice paper, as well as a brush, ink and inkstone in the room where the abbot of the temple probably lived.

Of course, Ogata and the others did not take or use things from this temple for nothing.

As we all know - the minimum amount of funds used by Calabash House is a large penalty.

When taking away the Four Treasures of the Study, Jian Gong conveniently placed a piece of gold in the place where the Four Treasures of the Study had been placed.

"I'm not very good at drawing... I don't know if I can draw a map well..."

"It's okay." Ogata encouraged, "Just paint as much as you can."

With Ogata's encouragement, Isshiki took a deep breath, rolled up her sleeves, and bowed her head.

"If you want to enter Koyasan, you must first go to Koya Town, which is the most convenient way to enter Koyasan."

"The road from Koya Town to Mount Koya looks like this..."

While drawing, Isshiki explained and introduced in detail to Ogata and others who were watching carefully around the table.

After about 2 sticks of incense, a map that was a bit ugly but unexpectedly rich in content was presented in front of everyone.

"Sorry..." Yishihua bowed her head slightly with shame, "I didn't draw well..."

"No." Ogata shook his head, "Miss Isshiki, your drawing is much better than I expected."

"A lot of the things we want to know are marked on this map."

After all, Ogata pointed at a large blank area on the map:

"Miss Isshiki, where is Koyasan? Why is there nothing here?"

"We have always referred to this area as 'Back Mountain'." Isshiki replied, "The temples of Mount Koya are basically concentrated in the front mountain, and there is almost nothing in the back mountain, neither temples nor roads, so this place Nothing at all."

As soon as Isshika said this, Ogata and the others fell silent immediately.

After a while, I heard Mamiya whisper:

"...The stronghold of the Toyotomi Clan is most likely built in the back of Koyasan."

"Yeah." Ogata nodded lightly, "I think so too."

Compared to the front mountain where the temples are concentrated and the traffic is dense, the back mountain is obviously only visited by birds and beasts, and it is more suitable for use as a "secret base".

"But the problem is—where exactly are the Toyotomi clan's strongholds built in the back mountain." Asai pouted, "Even if the search range is narrowed to a corner of the back mountain of Koyasan, the range is still very large."

"That's not a problem." Ogata said quickly, "If the plan I just thought of can be successful... I should be able to find Toyotomi's stronghold on Mount Koya."

Ogata's words, as expected, attracted the attention of everyone present.

And Ogata didn’t hold back. After Isshika helped draw the map, he immediately bowed his head in front of the map and talked eloquently:

"The Toyotomi army in Osaka has been defeated by us." "Koyasan is the largest stronghold of the Toyotomi in Japan, and it is also close to Osaka. It is only a matter of time before Koyasan receives the battle situation from Osaka. .”

"If time drags on, Koyasan will know the situation in Osaka, and then take corresponding defensive measures."

"So—we might as well launch a lightning fast attack on Koyasan immediately!"

"Because Koyasan still doesn't know the current situation of Osaka or it's too late to start a defense, Koyasan is caught off guard."

"Now find a carriage with enough space for two carriages, and drive to Koyasan non-stop day and night."

"The straight-line distance from Osaka to Koyasan is more than 10 miles (about 50 kilometers in modern times)."

"Although the speed of the carriage is slow, if we drive around day and night, we should be able to reach Mount Koya before noon tomorrow."

"Those who can drive take turns driving, and those who don't drive sleep in the carriage behind the carriage."

"After arriving at Mount Koya..."

Ogata stretched out his right index finger and clicked on the location of "Xianyuan Temple" marked on the map.

"Currently we know that the Toyotomi family's stronghold on Koyasan is only Sengenji Temple."

"Let me attack Koyasan head-on and attract the Toyotomi clan's troops to attack."

"Master Yuan and you, just follow the trails on the map and sneak into the back mountain."

Ogata's fingers moved slowly on the map, and moved to the large blank area on the map.

"The Toyotomi clan sent a large army to conquer me, and the mountain will be quite lively then."

"In this way, the opportunity to find the stronghold built by the Toyotomi clan on Mount Koya will come."

"After leading the snake out of the hole, follow the direction the snake came out to find the hole where the snake hides."

"Master Yuan, you follow the place and direction where the Toyotomi clan's tribe appeared in the back mountain, and find the Toyotomi clan's stronghold."

"And after I attract the Toyotomi clan to attack, I will defeat the incoming Toyotomi army as soon as possible, and then come to join you."

When Ogata was talking about his plan, Yuanichi and the others listened very carefully.

After his voice fell, the first person to speak out was Jian Gong.

"...Woodpecker tactics?" He said in a deep voice.

In the Warring States period more than 200 years ago, there were two powerful princes-Takeda clan and Uesugi clan.

Both of these two princes gave birth to a hero at the same time: Takeda Shingen, known as the "Tiger of Kai", and Uesugi Kenshin, known as the "Dragon of Echigo".

Innumerable battles broke out between the two heroes who were bright for a while, fighting for territory, especially in a certain place called "Chuanzhong Island", where the two heroes fought five large-scale battles back and forth.

In the fourth battle of Kawanakajima, Takeda Shingen adopted the advice of military adviser Yamamoto Kansuke and implemented the famous "woodpecker tactics".

Although the name is fancy, its essence is "striking east and west + waiting for work with leisure".

Divide the army into two parts: the main team and the surprise team.

The team is used to attract the attention of the enemy, and the surprise attack team goes around the enemy's rear, using surprise attacks or assaults and other combat methods, to drive the enemy out of the defensive position and rush to our team to ambush or wait in advance. place, and then the two teams flanked the enemy back and forth.

There are many variants of this woodpecker tactics.

There is a kind of woodpecker tactics, that is, the surprise attack team does not force the main force of the enemy army out of the defensive position, but the own team forces the main force of the enemy army out of the defensive position, and then the surprise attack team launches an assault, attacking the enemy back and forth with the own team— —This kind of woodpecker warfare is very similar to his plan that Ogata mentioned just now, so the Forbidden City calls it "woodpecker warfare".

"...Ogata-kun, I understand what you mean." Yuan Yiyi said, "Ogata-kun, your plan...is quite suitable for us who are so blind to Koyasan."

"But I have a question—"

Yuan Yi looked at Ogata slowly and seriously.

"In this plan of yours . . . you're putting yourself on the very dangerous side."

"Attack Koyasan head-on to attract the attention of the Toyotomi Clan—if this part of the plan succeeds, countless Toyotomi Clan members will come to kill you."

"And that's not the worst part."

"The most troublesome thing is afterward."

"You are in charge of the frontal attack. The person who is most likely to bear the infamy of 'attacking Buddhism' is you."

"Even though there will be so many dangers and troubles...do you still want to carry out your plan?"

"Of course." As soon as Yuan Yi finished speaking, Ooyoung said without hesitation, "The key to the success of the plan I just mentioned lies in whether the people lurking in the back mountain can accurately detect the Toyotomi family. to find and take down the stronghold of the Toyotomi Clan.”

"It's a little bit of a test of luck."

"Therefore, in order to ensure success as much as possible, the number of people responsible for lurking in the back mountain must be as large as possible, and their strength must be as strong as possible."

"There should be as many people lurking in the back mountain as possible, so that there should be as few people as possible who are responsible for the frontal attack to attract attention."

"Attract the attention of the Toyotomi family with as few people as possible, and at the same time, the side responsible for the frontal assault must have a way to withstand the siege of the army sent by the Toyotomi family——thinking about it, it is the most suitable for this task Yes, it must be me."

"For me now... Even if the Toyotomi clan from all Koyasan came to attack, I still have the confidence to protect myself, and even join them as an army."

"If I am the only one who attracts the Toyotomi family's attention, then everyone else will be able to devote themselves to the reconnaissance of the back mountain."

"Master Yuan, I know all about the troubles and dangers you just mentioned."

Ogata paused, then smiled, and said in a flat tone:

"But these so-called troubles and dangers... are nothing to me."

"I'm already an 'enemy towards the court'."

"Whether there are more titles of 'Buddha Enemy' is completely indifferent to me."

"Anyway, I'm already in a state where it's hard to show my true colors to others, and I'm not afraid of my reputation getting worse."

"Don't worry about me."

"I came up with this plan after careful consideration of my situation and the troubles I might encounter in the future."

Genichi watched Ogata's expression and eyes seriously.

After a while, Yuan Yi let out a silent sigh.

"...It seems that you have indeed made up your mind."

"Since Ogata-kun, you have already made up your mind, then I am no longer a mother-in-law."

After finishing speaking, Yuan Yi raised his eyes and scanned the surrounding people.

"Personally, I think the 'woodpecker tactics' mentioned by Ogata just now are quite good and suit my taste."

"Instead of continuing to be at a loss here like a headless chicken, it's better to take a gamble and hit the enemy's base camp immediately. Maybe Xiaolin is really in Koya Mountain now. Even if Xiaolin can't be found, she can be caught. Some high-level personnel of Toyotomi."

"What do you think?"

Asai, who had always supported the direct capture of Mount Koya, immediately nodded in agreement.

Mamiya was silent for the first time.

After a while, he asked Ogata in a deep voice:

"Ogata-kun, let me confirm to you again: you are really enlightened about your 'woodpecker tactics', right?"

"Yes." Ogata said.

"Since that's the case... I understand."

Mamiya let out a long breath, then nodded to Yuan.

Shimada, who has no opinion, saw that his most trusted and relied on Gamiya nodded. After hesitating for a while, he quickly nodded along with Gamiya.

Makimura, who just advocated getting information from the left and right gates, thought the longest.

He lowered his head and thought for a long time before finally seeing him nod his head.

And at this moment, everyone suddenly saw——A-Machi walked in front of Ogata with a blank expression.

Looking at Ogata who was walking slowly in front of Ogata, many people present thought that Ogata was about to reprimand Ogata.

After all, the "woodpecker warfare method" that Ogata just mentioned is extremely dangerous to Ogata himself. He has to use his own power to attract all the firepower of the Toyotomi family, and afterwards he will be infamous for "attacking Buddhism".

However—when many people felt that A-Machi was about to reprimand Ogata, A-Machi only asked two simple questions in a calm tone:

"Have you really thought it through? Are you ready?"

"Yeah." Oo smiled to A-Machi in front of him, and there was a hint of apology in the smile on his face, "To fight a behemoth like the Toyotomi family, you have to make some sacrifices, I already thought Well, get ready, too."

"...Okay then. I understand." A-Ming raised his head and smiled at Ogata, "Since you have already thought and realized...then I won't say anything more."

Genichi himself was also surprised by Machi who only asked Asaogata this simple 2-sentence question.

But Yuan Yi didn't ask or talk too much.

Seeing that A-Machi also agreed, Genichi said loudly:

"Since everyone agrees with Ogata-kun's 'woodpecker tactics', let's stop wasting time here! Let's act now!"

"The palace."

Genichi looked at Mamiya.

"Can I entrust you with the task of finding the carriage?"

"Leave it to me." Jiangong replied without hesitation, "I'll try to get a carriage now."

After finishing speaking, Mamiya supported Vairocana on his waist, and disappeared from the sight of Ogata and the others as he ran all the way.

"The townspeople in Osaka have basically run away now...how did Mamiya-senpai get the carriage?" After watching Mamiya leave, Shimada couldn't help asking Genichi.

"I don't know." Yuan Yi smiled, "I don't know where to find a carriage at this time."

"But feel free to hand over the task to Jiangong."

"I have never seen any task that Gamiya cannot complete."

"Master Gen." Asai interrupted suddenly at this moment, "We are going to Koyasan now...Then what should we do with the people we have captured so far?"

Asai pouted towards the place where Saemon and others were being held, and then pouted towards the place where Hatsatsumi and Shibata were being held.

"That's a good question..." Yuan Yi raised his hand and stroked the beard on his chin, "Saiweimon and the others... let's try to hide them somewhere first, and deal with them slowly later."

"As for that Chuguang and that Shibata..."

Yuan Yi pondered.

"...Just fulfill the previous promise to them and let them go free."

"Master Yuan." Asai stared, "Are you sure?"

"I originally wanted to keep them, and then continue to ask them questions when I think of something later." Yuan Yi shrugged, "But now, we don't have the time to leisurely ask them questions."

"They gave us so much information, and it's not kind that we keep imprisoning them on the grounds that 'maybe they'll have questions later'."

"Just let them go free. How?"

"Are you asking us 'how'?" Asai's mouth twitched, "Now the gourd house is up to you."

"Since you want to let those two go free, then we will naturally have nothing to say."

Chu Guang was captured by Yuan Yi and the others, and Ogata didn't care whether Chu Guang stayed or went, so naturally he didn't have any objections to Yuan Yi's decision to "let them both go free".

...

...

Ogata and his party came to the room where Hatsumitsu and Shibata were temporarily placed.

The room used to house the two was a fairly clean utility room. As soon as everyone entered the room, they saw the two huddled together in a corner.

Looking at the sudden attack of the large group of people, Shibata, who is conservative in temperament, tried to remain calm, but Chu Guang was really calm, raised his eyes to glance at Ogata and the others, and then silently put away his gaze.

Yuan Yi didn't say much.

After entering the room, he winked directly at Mucun and Asai beside him.

The two nodded at the same time, and then stepped forward to untie the hemp rope that bound Chuguang and Shibata's hands and feet.

"I promised you before: as long as you can answer all the questions I asked, I will set you free." Yuan Yi replied, "Now——I will fulfill my promise."

战愭帹杩欓欓向欭流流流流扫杩欓向欭流流流护托杩欓噷欭流流护护托杩欓咖欭护料€?/p \u003e

"You two, go wherever you want now."

Touching the wrists that still had deep binding marks, Shibata was stunned, looked at the wrists blankly, and then looked at Ogata and the others in front of him.

As for Chuguang—her expression was quite calm from the beginning to the end.

After she glanced at the hands that had returned to freedom expressionlessly, she asked Yuan Yi something that made the old man frown slightly:

"Are you... are you planning to go to Koyasan now to settle accounts with the Toyotomi family?"

"How do you know that we plan to go to Koyasan next?" Yuan Yi didn't shy away from it, and there was no need to shy away from Chuguang and the others.

I only heard Yuan Yi laughing playfully, and then asked:

"The place where you two were held, and the place where we talked just now... It's impossible for you to hear our conversation from such a long distance?"

"This is my speculation." Chu Guang replied softly, "Before, you told us: You may have other questions to ask us later, so you can't let us go free for the time being."

"As a result, after such a short time, you suddenly changed your mind and agreed to let us go."

"It can cause such a sudden change in your thinking... I speculate that there is only one possibility—you have decided to do something that temporarily ignores me."

"Reminiscent of what I told you before: the Toyotomi clan established their largest base in Japan on Mt. It is not difficult to speculate on what will be done with a high probability in the future.”

"Hoho..." Yuan Yi let out a weird laugh, and cast a very unabashed gaze of admiration at Chuguang, "As expected of the rebellious forbearance that has been lurking in Iga for so long... this kind of heart, and this It's really rare to be so smart and sensitive, can you tell me how old you are?"

"...14."

"14?" A bit of surprise appeared in Yuan Yi's eyes, "You look and feel like you are 16 or 7 years old."

"It's just that I'm naturally more mature than other people." Chuguang replied, "I'm also a little taller than ordinary women, so it's easy for people to mistake me for being older."

"You are only 14 years old... I kind of understand why that Yoshihisa chose you as his successor." After complimenting Chu Guang, Yuan Yi nodded happily, "You are right at all. We Next, I plan to go to Koyasan to settle accounts with the Toyotomi family."

As soon as Yuan Yi finished speaking, Chu Guang immediately interjected as if impatiently waiting:

"If that's the case, can you bring me along?"

"Huh?" Chu Guang's sudden request was beyond Yuan Yi's expectation, causing Yuan Yi to frown slightly.

Chu Guang seemed to be afraid that Yuan Yi would refuse directly, so he didn't give Yuan Yi any chance to speak, and shouted one sentence after another:

"You are very strong."

"That Jijiu, and that woman who is branded, are even powerless to fight back against you."

"Currently, most of the combat power is gathered in Osaka, and Koyasan's garrison is extremely empty."

"As for Toyotomi Nobuhide, there is a high probability that he is in Koyasan now, and that Yoshihisa...is very likely to be on his way back to Koyasan now."

"If it were you, it might really be possible to inflict severe damage on the Toyotomi Clan, or...kill Toyotomi Nobuhide or Yoshihisa directly!"

"Toyotomi Nobuhide, I can let him go, but only Yoshihisa, I can't let him go no matter what!"

"Even if I can't kill him with my own hands, I still want to watch him die with my own eyes!"

"So—please!"

Chu Guang lowered her head to the crowd, her tone became more earnest.

"Please take me to Mount Koya!"

"I dare not say how strong I am, but I can guarantee that I will never hold you back!"

"Although I'm not familiar with Mount Koya, I'm very familiar with the Toyotomi clan...especially Iga."

"Take my words, my knowledge about Toyotomi and Iga may be of help to you!"

"Please!"

Chuguang's tone was so humble that he almost knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Yuanyi and the others.

Her little follower Shibata asked Chuguang anxiously in a low voice:

"Miss Chuguang, what are you talking about? Are you going to act with this group of people who don't even know their names?"

"You be quiet." Chuguang said to Shibata in a firm tone and concise answer.

Chuguang's brief response made Shibata immediately droop his head like a defeated rooster, not daring to say anything to Chuguang.

My lifelong dream is to hire a housekeeper like Gamiya in the future, or have a girlfriend like Gamiya. If I can have a girlfriend like Gamiya, I will become useless on the spot! Who can say no to a Doraemon-type girlfriend?
