I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Page 914

"If you want me to help, I don't care." Ah Qing muttered.

"That's good." Jiezheng nodded, and then turned his gaze to the two subordinates who paid homage to the hometown:

"The two of you go back to the base first, and tell Lord Jijiu what happened to you. By the way, tell Lord Jijiu: Based on the situation I am in, I judge that it is extremely necessary to find the wife who is suspected to be Shura. In order not to miss the opportunity of the battle, I led the female ninja, Ah Qing, to search for the woman's trace first."

After giving orders to those two people, Jiezheng turned his gaze to Ah Qing.

Jie Zheng, who quickly assigned the task, waved his big hand, and led the more than 40 musketeers and Ah Qing under his command to rush in the direction where Ah Ding's footprints disappeared.

Although Ah Qing feels that they currently have too few clues, and that finding Ah Ding is like looking for a needle in a haystack, she still acts as Jiezheng's "eye" meticulously and conscientiously, climbing to high places frequently, looking for clues. The figure of Machi.

Eyesight is probably Ah Qing's only advantage besides acting skills and eyebrows.

She can easily see objects that others can't see clearly with binoculars.

The two musketeers who survived the capture of A-cho just now told A-cho and the others about A-cho's appearance.

Wearing a red and white kimono, probably without shoes and socks, and with a high probability of a lot of blood splattered on her body, the characteristics of the big bear woman are quite obvious, so it is not difficult to find.

But even so, Ah Qing has not found a target with matching characteristics for a long time.

They searched aimlessly to the east.

Ah Qing climbed up to the high place again and again.

When Ah Qing climbed onto the roof of a private house for the first time and looked around with her hands on her eye sockets, she suddenly heard a "rustling" sound coming from her side.

When I looked closely, it turned out that Jie was climbing up the roof.

"How? Have you found Shura's wife?"

"No." Ah Qing said without thinking, "Women wearing red and white kimonos have found a few, but their bears are not big, and there is no blood on their bodies."

"Is that so?" Jie revealed regret.

"By the way, when did you become so interested in your work?" Ah Qing asked Chaosuke, "You even took the initiative to lead someone to chase Shura's wife."

"As far as I know, you should be the type to do the task if you can."

Hearing Ah Qing's words, Jiezheng was stunned for a while.

Then he showed a look of embarrassment.

"Well, there are indeed some special reasons for me to take the initiative to take on the task."

"Oh? What is it?"

Ah Qing hadn't finished speaking, she had been resting her hands on her eyelids, looking around, searching for Ah Ding's figure, when she suddenly stopped talking.

Then narrow your eyes and look to the northeast of yourself

A-Ming held his chest that felt like it was about to explode due to the violent panting, panting heavily.

Looking at the familiar hotel in front of her, she showed a somewhat relieved look on her face: "I'm finally back."

On the way from killing Naganosuke to returning to the hotel, Ah-machi has thoroughly implemented the idiom "non-stop".

A-cho, who didn't dare to stop at all, kept rushing to the hotel at a sprint speed.

The feet without shoes and socks were cut by the gravel and they were running.

Running until my lungs feel like my lungs are going to explode is also running.

Although after dealing with Naganosuke, no one came out to stop A-cho.But the chaotic flow of people on the street brought a lot of obstacles to Ah-Ming.

Fires broke out all over Osaka.

In the direction of Osaka City, there were still occasional cannon shots.

The monstrous flames caused the whole of Osaka to be in chaos.

People in the Edo period have always had an instinctive fear of fire.

Their houses are basically made of wood, and a random fire may burn a city to nothing.

Everyone rushed to the suburbs of the city with their families and their families.

Although he tried his best to avoid entering the crowded street, A-Machi was accidentally stuck in a crowded traffic flow. He couldn't move forward and couldn't go backward, which wasted a lot of time.

After finally returning to the hotel, Ah-Machi did not rush in, but scanned her surroundings with vigilant eyes, and after confirming that no one was following her, she strode into the hotel.

The hotel is very quiet now. The hotel staff and the rest of the guests must have fled.

He quickly ran to the door of the room where they lived, opened the door, and Azuki's little face full of displeasure and panic appeared in front of Acho.

During the time when A-Ming was away, A-Zhu could be described as "seconds like years".

Not long after A-Ming left the hotel, she heard the sound of gunfire.

Immediately afterwards, fires broke out all over Osaka.

Including the hotel staff and the rest of the passengers, they all began to flee.

A Zhu, who is still young and inexperienced, also panicked in the face of one unexpected situation after another.

However, although "Shen" panicked, Azhu's hands and feet did not panic.

No matter what happens, it must be right to stay in the hotel and wait for Ogata and Acho to come back, so Azuki calmed down and continued to stay in the hotel room

She didn't wait in the room either, she packed her and Ogata's luggage neatly, so that when Ogata and the others came back, they could immediately take their luggage and run away, leaving Osaka, which now felt perilous.

"A-Ming Xiao" Seeing A-Ming's return, A-Zhu first showed joy, but after seeing the dried up blood stains on A-Ming's clothes, she froze suddenly, and the rest of her voice was stuck her throat.

Before he had time to ask Ah-cho "what's the matter".A-Machi took the lead and asked A-Zhu:

"Ayi, hasn't he come back yet?"

"Huh? No." A Zhu's head shook like a rattle.

Ah-Ming's face turned pale.

At this time, she noticed the neatly wrapped luggage of her, Ogata, and Azuki lying on the ground nearby.

"Did you help us pack our luggage? That's just right! Take your luggage with me and leave here! Ayi is being watched by someone! This place may not be safe anymore!"

Now Azuki has countless questions that he wants to ask Acho.

But she's also a smart kid.

Seeing Machi's hasty look, she knew it was not a good time to ask questions, so she obediently kept her mouth shut, and followed Machi to carry their luggage.

Putting her and Ogata's luggage on the back very fiercely, A-Machi did not follow the steps to walk up the stairs and leave through the door on the first floor.

Instead, prepare to leave the room and jump out the window in the most time-saving and ninja-style way.

However, before she opened the window of the room, she suddenly heard a large number of footsteps from far to near outside the hotel.

There were so many things that happened tonight, Ah-Ming unconsciously became accustomed to all kinds of accidents and emergencies.

A-Machi, who just frowned with his pretty brows, motioned for A-Zhu to bend down, and jumped under the window, then opened the window a little, and looked out of the hotel through the slit.

A large number of musketeers with flintlock guns were swarming towards the hotel from all directions. This was what Ah-cho saw.

"Ah Qing, did you really see it?"

Jiezheng hurriedly asked Ah Qing who was beside her.

"Hmm. I can't see it wrong." Ah Qing said in a deep voice, putting her hands on her lintels and looking to her northwest with narrowed eyes, "the red and white Wu clothes have a lot of splashes Blood, no shoes or socks on the feet, the bear is huge...the conditions fit perfectly."

At the end of Ah Qing's line of sight, it was Ah Ding who was hurrying to the hotel right now.

The urban area where A-Ming was located was almost empty of people, and there were few pedestrians on the empty streets except A-Ming, so A-Ming, who was sprinting on this street, was particularly conspicuous.Because of this, Ah Qing noticed this particularly conspicuous red and white figure just now.

"Finally found her..." Jie showed relief and joy, and then quickly jumped off the roof of the private house, "Ah Qing, please help us show the way."

Ah Qing: "Understood."

Under Ah Qing's guidance, Jiezheng led his subordinates to chase after Ah Ding.

In order to avoid being discovered by A-cho, Jiezheng intentionally keeps a certain distance from A-cho.

Ah Qing's eyesight is very good, even if the distance between the two sides is far, she can clearly see the position of Ah Ding.

Apart from jujitsu and marksmanship, A-cho has no other specialties.She is not good at anti-tracking or anything like that.

Ah-Ming, who hadn't noticed that anyone was following her from afar, just entered the hotel under Ah Qing's gaze.

"Jie Zheng." Ah Qing, who was crouching on a big tree, immediately reported to Jie Zhenghui after seeing Ah Ding enter the hotel, "The woman has entered the hotel."

Jiezheng hurriedly climbed up the big tree where Ah Qing was, and squatted beside Ah Qing: "Which hotel?"

Ah Qing pointed forward: "It's the hotel with the door plaque of Tianchi House hanging on it."

Jie was looking at the hotel pointed by Ah Qing.

Showing thinking, after a moment of silence, he lowered his head and shouted to his subordinates waiting under the big tree:

"Ready to fight!"

Ah Qing was startled: "Jiezheng, are you planning to rush over and arrest people?"

"En." Jiezheng nodded while jumping off the tree.

"That woman can kill Naganosuke, her skills will not be too bad."

Ah Qing hurriedly shouted at Jiezheng who jumped under the tree.

"That's why I think we should first inform the squadron and ask the squadron to send some reinforcements. While waiting for the squadron to respond, we can monitor the woman's movements. This method is safer."

"That would take too much time." Jiezheng said in a deep voice, "Sending orders to the formation, and then receiving a response from the formation, I don't know how long it will take after going back and forth. If the time is delayed for a long time , it is very likely that something unexpected will happen.”

"And... if you ask for reinforcements from this formation, your credit will be diluted."

At this moment, Jiezheng pursed his lips, and then looked at Ah Qing with meaningful eyes.

"...I need merit now."

"Besides, I don't think we need rescuers to catch that woman."

Jiezheng showed a gentle smile to Ah Qing.

"I have a total of 46 musketeers under my command. Counting you and me, there are 48 people in total. Even if there is that woman's companion in that hotel, they will definitely not be able to compare with us in terms of numbers."

"In terms of numbers, I have the advantage."

"Not to mention the soldiers on our side, who also have an advanced flintlock gun."

"Besieged by more than 40 musketeers, in our Toyotomi army, only a few people such as Lord Toyotomi and Lord Yoshihisa were able to retreat unscathed."

After all, Jiezheng stopped talking and led his 40-odd subordinates to the inn where Ah-ding was staying, which was only a few hundred meters away.

Ah Qing cast a puzzled look at Jiezheng's back, muttered "What's wrong with him", jumped off the tree, and chased after Jiezheng's back.

These musketeers were all trained by the army instructors from England with a lot of money.

There was no need to give any orders. After learning that the hotel in front was about to be surrounded, the 40 or so musketeers immediately dispersed and surrounded the hotel from all directions.

When A-Ming discovered something strange outside the hotel, Jiezheng and his subordinates had already completed the siege of the hotel, like a gradually tightening spider web, enveloping the hotel...

……

……

"Ah, Machi-san, Miss..."

Almost at the same time as A-Machi, A-Machi noticed a strange noise outside the hotel. When A-Machi opened the curtain to look out, A-Machi also hurriedly leaned his head over.

After looking outside... Azhu immediately became stuttering when he spoke.

It was the first time in Azhu's life that there were so many people holding muskets.

"W-Who are these people?"

"...Unidentified enemy." After saying these words with an ugly face, A-Ming slammed the curtains, and then whispered in a volume that only she could hear clearly: "Have I been followed just now? ..."

Machi pulls out Suzakura from the Mariana Trench.

"Azuki, don't take your luggage, grab your weapon and follow me. Let's go see if there are any enemies on the other side of the hotel."

A Zhu, who had never seen any storms, was already in a state of confusion, and followed A Ding out of the room with a bewildered expression.

The windows of their room faced west.

Ah-Ming remembered that there was a window facing the east on the easternmost side of the corridor outside the room.

After running out of the room, A-Ming led A-Zhu to the easternmost side of the corridor outside the room. Looking out at the east side of the hotel along the east-facing window at the end of the corridor, there is also a lot of fire. shooter.
