“The peaks are like gathering,

The waves are like anger,

Tongguan Road inside and outside the mountains and rivers.◎∑w.

Looking at Xidu,

Hesitated.

Sad place of the Qin and Han dynasties,

The palaces were made of earth.

When prosperity comes, the people suffer; when death comes, the people suffer."

What Luo Family Masajong remembered was this ancient poem that was often sung in the Ming Dynasty immigrants of the Luo Family Academy (actually Yuan opera, because the Ming Dynasty immigrants who were normal teachers were only ordinary literati, so their cultural level was limited, so they regarded this Yuan opera as a poem).

Regarding the "Qin and Han dynasties" mentioned in the poem, Luo family Zhengzong only knew that it was some ancient dynasties in the Ming Dynasty. He only had a rough understanding of this, but he was very clear about the difficulties of the people in the war described in this poem.

"Hey! When will this era of war end?" Thinking of this, Masato Sect of Luo couldn't help but sigh. At this time, Masato Sect of Luo was really touched by the scene. Looking at the simple thatched hut in front of him and thinking about the appearance of the thin little girl he had seen before, he was really sad.

"What did you say?" Honda Tadao, who was puzzled by the little girl's strange behavior, suddenly heard the muttering of Masato Sect of Luo's family and asked strangely.

"Haha!" Luo's Masajong just smiled slightly and did not answer. Then he took out a few copper coins from his arms and gently placed them in front of the little girl's door, "Wait, the war will end, you will settle down, and you will also go to school like the little girls in the Luo family's territory."

After looking at the thatched hut silently for a while again, Masato Son of Luo immediately pulled Tadao Honda to continue on the road. Fortunately, during the journey thereafter, although the sky was always covered with dark clouds, it did not go down until they reached a cafe in a town at the foot of Hachiozi Mountain. It started to rain heavily.

As the original location of Hachiozi City in later generations, this town is located at the intersection of the main transportation routes of the three places in Kafai, Sagami and Musashi. There is also a river next to it where ships lead to the Uraga Waterway along the coast. When the two of them came to the river, they happened to see many ships transporting supplies. They took advantage of the confrontation between the Nagao family and the Hojo family in Musashi. They planned to take the opportunity to make a fond of war money.

In this way, this place will naturally be much more prosperous than other towns. Of course, this is naturally incomparable to the prosperity of Hachiozi City, which was prosperous in later generations.

While resting in the cafe, Masatosen and the two of Luo Family finally learned from the conversation between the travelers around them that Imakawa Yoshimoto Kanluo had failed. Regarding this news, the two looked at each other and saw shock in their eyes, but they did not make a sound. Instead, they were eating while listening to the various news spread by the travelers around them. Especially the detailed details of the failure of Imakawa Yoshimoto. Even when they went to the shops of a nearby travel house to rest after dinner, the two did not make a sound.

That night, nothing happened. The next day, they continued to go on the road, but they should have taken the road on the left to the destination that they had originally expected, but they took a relatively remote and difficult road on the right. Tadakashi Honda, who was only twelve years old, couldn't help but ask:

"It should be from the left direction!"

"Yes!" Masatozo Luo nodded and then continued: "Well, didn't you hear it at the Kanya and the Tsubasa last night? According to what those travelers said, if we walk here as planned, we will enter the battlefield where the Nagao family and the Hojo family confront each other, which is a bit dangerous. On the other side, although the road is a bit rugged and longer, we can relatively avoid the battlefields of those two families."

"I see."

"Also, have you noticed that there are two groups of people following us? One group has only two, the other group has fifteen or six people. Have you noticed it? What kind of people do you think are they?"

"Huh? Two groups of people? And one group has fifteen and six ronin?" After Masato of the Luo family said this, Tadao Honda suddenly realized the two groups of people behind, among which the two people who followed them were people wearing deep hats. Judging from their appearance, they should be a man and a woman. As for the group behind, there were fifteen and six ronin who did not wear hats.

"Well, it seems very suspicious." As a young surname around Masayora and having learned a lot of investigation techniques in Luoshi Academy Middle School, Tadao seems to have seen the suspiciousness.

"Haha...you are also careless! But they should be rewarded for their quick actions."

"Ah? What are you talking about? Do you know them?" Although I felt that these people were a little suspicious, Honda Tadao was really surprised after Masato Sect suddenly said such words.

"Hmph, didn't you notice?"

"What did you notice?" Although Tada Honda wanted to turn around and observe the two people behind carefully to determine the words of the Luo family Masato Sect, he finally endured it. After all, doing so attracted the attention of the two people behind, so he asked in a low voice.

"Note that the man and woman behind were also in the cafe last night, and these two were like me. During the cafe, they just listened quietly to the information of travelers chatting around them, but they didn't say a word. As for..." After a brief pause, Masatozo Luo continued:

"The dozen people behind were also in the cafe last night, but strangely, they seemed to be divided into several tables at that time, and they didn't talk to each other. Why did they seem to be very familiar with each other today and actually walk together?"

The side of the Luo family Masato was confused, while Tadao Honda was shocked. He had never expected that the Luo family Masato was so detailed yesterday. It seemed that he had more things to learn. Fortunately, with the strong support of his mother (Madam Bendo), he took the initiative to apply to participate in this expedition operation, otherwise he would not have learned so much.

So with their own thoughts, the three groups of people kept a distance between each other and soon walked into a mountain road. What surprised the two of them was that the two groups of people were obviously okay. There was no suspicious action later. Until they walked out of the mountain road and arrived at a new place in the evening, they were still peaceful.

The place they came to was named Koyamada. They will spend the night here tonight, and then plan to continue to set out tomorrow morning. According to the previous inquiries with the locals, this place is also a downhill called Suzuka Ridge. According to the terrain, if there is any accident, then the downhill place of Suzuka Ridge will be.

There are only two hotels available for accommodation here. Masatozo Rakha lived in the hotel at the entrance of Tsuruya Yoshibee, while two groups of people in the rear lived in the hotel in Tamaya Rizaemon in front of them.

Here, at night, the wind became cooler and the sound of insects rose, making the traveling love of these people even stronger. However, the two of them were not immersed in the beautiful night.

"You must be careful tonight." Honda Tadao thought to himself. However, Masato Rakrasan did not change his face and drank the wine sent by the shopkeeper with a smile on his face.

After the meal, Masatozong of Luo immediately said:

"Hey. Let's go!"

"Yeah? Are you going to set out tonight?" Honda Tadao asked in surprise. To avoid these two groups of suspicious people, you can use the night to cross this mountain road. This is not unreasonable.

"Idiot!" Luo Shi Masatozo said with a smile:

"How could I, the Luo family, be afraid of those people and walk on that mountain road at night? Come on!"

"So, you told me to follow me, not to cross the mountain path, or what should I do?"

"Don't you understand yet? We're going to hurry up and come on!" As Masatozo Luo said this, he picked up the love knife, stood up, and looked at Honda Tadao with a smile.

"Oh!" Honda Tadao responded on the surface, but he felt a little contemptuous in his heart, "Are you still afraid of causing trouble?"

In Honda Tada's opinion, it was obvious that the two groups of guys were having problems. If they set out tomorrow, they might still be on the road with them. If something happened during this period, they would be in trouble. However, since Masato Sect of Luo's family had made a decision, it didn't matter, so the two of them immediately set off overnight.

At this time, on a mountain path, the couple wearing deep hats that Luo Family Masato Sect saw during the day were standing back to back. They were blocked by nine ninja bags wearing dark blue or dark purple outfits (in fact, the ninjas during the Warring States Period in Japan were not as mysterious as the legend, they were simply mercenaries. But to put it more complicatedly, they also have unique special skills). Further ahead of the mountain road, there were more than a dozen people blocking ahead. These people were the dozens of roninmen that Luo Family Masato Sect saw during the day.

Obviously, the couple was surrounded by these ninjas and those dozens of people. Strangely, both sides were just confronting there at this time, but they did not engage in a confrontation.

Just now, footsteps sounded at the other end of the mountain road. When the ninja heard this, one of the ninjas who looked like the leader made a gesture, and the three ninjas immediately separated and intercepted the person who came from.

The sound of footsteps gradually approached, and a young man holding a wooden stick with a strong figure and holding a grassroots at the corner of his mouth appeared first in front of them. Then, a burly young man holding a too-knife appeared immediately. These two were Tadao Honda and Masatozo Rao.

"Haha, I'm really destined to do it!" The visibility between the mountains and fields was not high. When I saw the men and women being besieged and the ronin behind, Tadakashi Honda couldn't help but smile.

As for the Luo family Masato Sect behind Honda Tadao frowned at this time. He originally planned to avoid the suspicious two groups of people, but he finally met.

"Kill them." When the Luo family Masatozong was still depressed, the ninja leader suddenly spoke. Then the three ninjas who had previously been responsible for intercepting the Luo family Masatozong approached the Luo family Masatozong.

With the alert of the ninja leader, Masatozo Luo finally saw clearly the outfits of the people blocking them, so he couldn't help but say in surprise: "Ninja?"

In fact, the Masato of the Luo family is also familiar with ninjas. For example, the "Black Hawk" of the Luo family is a ninja. Under the leadership of the lord Zhengliang, a ninja army formed a very powerful combat power. The Black Hawk of the Luo family are all dressed in black and well-equipped.

However, compared with the Black Hawk of the Luo family, there are differences in other ninja families in the Warring States Period. In this regard, the Lord Zhengliang also held a meeting with them to the Luo family's retainers in the War Academy of the Luo family.

In the meeting, the Lord Zhengliang used his own language to state the general ninjas from all over the Warring States Period. For example, they were not wearing black clothes, but they were wearing dark blue, dark purple or brown outfits. The upper body and even the head of their outfits were covered with a soft lock curtain. The lock curtains could prevent cutting damage and had a certain protective effect. The surface of the ninja knife in their hands was painted with dye to prevent reflection in the darkness, while the face was uniformly wiped with six-foot hands.

The ninja knife is a blunt knife. The length is between the Tai Knife and the rib difference. The combat is not as slashing like a samurai knife, but is only used to stab. The ninja knife is more useful for assisting. For example, if you climb a city wall, you can stab the slit into the cracks of the rock with your hands and grab the blunt blade. You don’t have to worry about cutting your fingers and climbing upwards.

In addition to ninja swords, some ninjas also use ninjas that can be thrown and melee, both of which are commonly used by ninjas. In addition, ninjas are good at using bows, arrows and iron cannons. In addition to main hand weapons, ninjas are also good at using strange hidden weapons, such as the unpredictable Shuriken, Kuna (can also be used as daggers), hook ropes, crossbow blowing, etc.

The reason why the Lord Zhengliang introduced the situation of the Warring States Ninjas in such detail to everyone was mainly to enable the Luo family members to face the ninja attacks in the future. Unexpectedly, they actually encountered them tonight, so let's see if these ninjas are really as the lord said.

However, before the Luo family Masato Sect could take action, the three approaching ninjas did not even make a call at this time, and threw Shuriken, Kumi and other hidden weapons at him and Honda Tadao.

"Oh!"

Standing in front of him, Tadao Honda sneered and turned the spear (when he saw the opponent was about to attack, he had already taken down the rag at one end of the "wooden stick" and turned the "wooden stick" back into a spear) and moved forward, alternating his hands, spinning into a gun face in front of his body, easily opening all hidden weapons.

As a young surname around Masara, Tada Katsukaru Honda learned a lot of superb gun skills with Masara, so he was naturally not afraid of the attacks of these ninjas at this time.

The three ninjas also saw that Honda Tada was difficult to deal with, and gave each other a wink. At that moment, they rushed towards Honda Tada Tada Tada Tada Tada first, and then went back to solve the Luo family Masato Sect together.

Seeing this, Masato Sect of Luo immediately pulled out the sword and prepared to come forward to help Tada Honda, but Tada Honda was stopped directly by Tada Honda. Tada Honda moved his footsteps, arched up, and stabbed a ninja who was attacking him with a big gun. However, the other party was not slow to react. At the moment the tip of the gun was approaching, the cat immediately squatted down and used the ninja knife to hold Tada Honda upwards.

But how could Honda Tadao let him dodge easily? He supported the gun bar with both hands and pressed it down hard, and the gun head flipped down and hit hard. The ninja couldn't bear Honda Tadao's great power and could not support it. With a thud, he knelt on the ground on both knees. If he attacked again, he could immediately take the life of this person, but at this time the attack on both sides had already arrived. Honda Tadao had to take the gun back and evade behind him.

While Honda Tadao was dodging, a hook rope flew out of the secret. After turning a few times, it just wrapped around Honda Tadao Tadao's right leg. It turned out that the other party did not underestimate Honda Tada. In addition to the three ninjas attacking head-on, another person was sent to launch a sneak attack in secret.

Seeing the sneak attack succeed, a hint of joy flashed in the ninja's eyes. He grabbed the other end of the hook rope with both hands and pulled it hard. He believed that under this pull, it would be enough to trip Honda Tadao, and his companions could step forward and bear it down. Unfortunately, what disappointed the other party was that no matter how he used his strength, Honda Tadao's body remained as motionless as a rock.

Honda Tadao stance was tightly tied, his feet were nailed firmly in place like nails, and a large gun blocked the attack of the opponent's three ninjas, and he was at ease. After one shot and forced the three of them to retreat, Honda Tadao snatched the rope on the ground with the tip of the gun, rolled it up and pulled it out with both hands.

"Get up." Honda Tadao focused his arms and roared. Although Honda Tadao was only twelve years old at this time, his figure was almost the same as an adult, and he was very strong in normal times. He was even more brave when he was fighting with others. He was once praised by the Lord Zhengliang as "another powerful general of the Luo family", so when facing the opponent's attack, he was naturally like a fish in water.

The ninja who secretly attacked him did not expect that Tadashi Honda would have such a method. Instead, he was pulled at Tadashi Hondashi by a hook rope. Tadashi Hondashi lightly shot him backhand and directly stroked his throat. Then blood from the other party's neck splashed out, sprinkling several meters away.

Even though the three ninjas of the opponent had performed many missions, they had never seen such a perverted way of playing Honda Tada, and they were stunned for a moment. Honda Tada Tada sneered, pulled out the rib gap between his waist, cut off the hook rope wrapped around his right leg, and then kicked the killed ninja down the hillside with one kick. It took a long time before the screams of the opponent hitting the stone while rolling came.

The other ninjas were a little afraid when they saw that Honda Tadao was so cruel. At this time, Honda Tadao threw the tip of the gun and rushed forward and attacked fiercely.

At this time, the men and women who were besieged by the remaining ninjas and ronin also heard shrill screams, as if the battle was very fierce.

So when the Luo family Masato Sect was paying attention to the situation on that side when he was paying attention to the corner of his eyes. He immediately saw a ninja being cut off in the waist, and his heart trembled. It seemed that the man and woman were not simple. They were so brave? It seemed that there was no need to pay attention to them.

In this way, in the blink of an eye, plus the person Honda Tadakashi killed just now, the two ninjas were already dead at the same time. In the night in the mountains, the men and women also heard the sound of weapons and screams from time to time. Occasionally, the scene of Kuma and Shuriken flying outwards from time to time.

Looking back at Honda Tadao, good guy, those three ninjas are obviously not good either. Two of them are already injured and can't hold on any longer.

Sure enough, the lasting time did not last long, and the three ninjas were killed one by one. When Masato Sect of Luo looked at the couple again, they were shocked again. It turned out that the battle had ended there, which seemed to be earlier than Tadao Tadao. More than a dozen "ronin" and other ninjas were lying on the ground. It seemed that the end of the killing of Tadao Tadao was better, and the corpses of those killed by Tadao Tadao were not complete.

"Awesome! I didn't expect to meet a master."

"Tread, step, step..." Just when Luo's Masatozong was shocked, the man among the men and women on the other side slowly walked over.

The man who gradually walked in immediately made the Luo family Masato Sect and Honda Tadao who had just walked back became nervous. There was no way, but he was in a unfortunate situation where he encountered a conflict between two groups of people who felt suspicious during the day. Moreover, the seemingly weak man and woman were masters. In the wilderness area tonight, the opponent came over after killing all the opponents. Even the Luo family Masato Sect, who had participated in several battles, nervously grabbed the hilt of the sword in his hand. Compared to fighting alone, he was better at killing enemies on the battlefield.

"Thank you for your help." Just as Masato of the Luo family and Tadao Honda watched each other approaching nervously, the other party stopped getting closer, but thanked him sincerely.

"Haha, I just want to help you when I see injustice." Originally, the two of Luo family Masatozong rushed to the road overnight in order to avoid causing trouble, but they accidentally encountered this conflict and were forced to join the conflict. So when facing the other party's gratitude, he was a little embarrassed.

"I have something to ask about. I don't know if you can tell me." Just after Masato Sect of Luo's family replied to the man opposite, the man suddenly continued to ask.

The other party had a sudden question, which immediately made the Luo family Masato and Honda Tadao look at each other in confusion. Finally, the Luo family Masato said, "I don't know what I'm asking for? If I can answer this, I will definitely tell you."

"I wonder if the two know the Luo family Masayoshi Kyushu?" After the Luo family Masatozong agreed, the middle-aged man opposite asked locally.

"ah?"

After the middle-aged man asked a question, Masatozo Luo and Tadao Honda exclaimed in their hearts almost at the same time, and then quickly looked at each other.

"This?" For a moment, the Luo family Masato Sect was really a little difficult to answer. Generally speaking, for safety reasons, he naturally could not reveal his identity.

"So that's it. I understand." But the other party had already obtained a definite answer from the performance of the two of Luo's Masatsukoshi. "No wonder I noticed that the gun technique used by this little brother was so similar to that of Luo's Masatsukoshi."

"Ah?" This time, Tadao Honda exclaimed directly. He really didn't expect that the other party could see his origin from his marksmanship. Moreover, the other party was besieged by more than 20 people just now, and he still had time to watch his battle. And when the two battlefields were so far apart, this only shows that the other party was really a master among the masters.

Compared to Honda Tadao's surprise, Masatozo Luo's family had calmed down after talking to the other party, and he quickly came to a conclusion. First, the person in front of him seemed to be very familiar with his lord, and even knew his own lord's spear tricks, so the other party should not be an enemy; second, the other party might be a Ming country, because in the territory of the Luo family, only those gang members from the Ming country would add the title "little brother" to their words. The lord Masatoko once told him that this is the usual daily term for the people of the Ming country, so Masatozo Luo asked tentatively:

"Do you come from Ming Kingdom?"

"Haha!" Faced with the problem of the Luo family Masaru Masaru, the middle-aged man smiled first, and then replied, "However, we are from the Ming Kingdom, with Long Yin below, and Xiao Yue there. A few years ago, we had a relationship with Luo family Masaru Masaru, but we really didn't expect that we would see his marksmanship here today. We haven't seen each other for several years. I believe that Luo family Masaru's martial arts have improved a lot. Please tell Luo family Masaru that we will see each other again. Let's say goodbye!"

After saying that, the middle-aged man turned around and rushed back to the woman over there, and then the two left on duty at night.

In the mountain road, Masato Rak and Tadao Honda were still shocked at this time.

"The lord actually met the other party? It is reported that the lord went to Ming Kingdom when he was young. Could it be that he met at that time?" Luo's Masazong couldn't help but think.

"No wonder the lord is so good at martial arts. It turns out that there is such a master as a friend!" This is the idea of ​​Tada Tadakashi on the side...
