Sheng Tianmu was very cryptic.

But Mogami is not an idiot, he instantly heard the implication of Sheng Tianmu's words, and knew what "things other than fighting" are most likely to happen when soldiers are fighting, especially when they are fighting a village that is destined to have many women. .

"After all, it is not a chaotic world of the Warring States period, but a peaceful world with long-term peace." Sheng Tianmu continued, "In this peaceful world that has been far away from war for a long time, any cruel behavior is no longer welcome, so pretend to be You have to act like a high-spirited warrior."

"If the people in the vassal state know that your troops have done extraordinary things, it will be very detrimental to your future development in the vassal state."

"Those who have a problem with our family will firmly grasp your handle, say that you are ashamed to be a warrior, and impeach you and our family."

"Yes." Mogami nodded solemnly, "Uncle, I remember."

Mogami would only call Sheng Tianmu "Master Sheng Tianmu" in public, and call him "Uncle" in private.

Sheng Tianmu raised his hand and patted Mogami on the shoulder.

"Okay, that's all I have to say. I wish you good fortune."

"En!" Mogami nodded vigorously again, "I'm leaving! Please watch! I will definitely complete this task beautifully!"

After finishing speaking, the most senior took his scythe gun and strode out of his camp.

Ezo, somewhere

In a not so dense forest, there is a very "fresh" hunting lodge that has just been built.

Ogata and A-Machi were sitting shoulder to shoulder in this hunting lodge.

Just now, after Ayzan built this hunting lodge, he went deep into the woods to look for rabbits on the grounds that he "found a lot of rabbits nearby, so I ordered some rabbits for tonight's dinner".

And Yahili went to help Aizan, and went to hunt rabbits with Aizan.

So at this moment, there are only Ogata and Atachi in this hunting lodge.

In order to pass the boring time of waiting for Aizan and Ahili to come back from hunting rabbits, Ogata and A-Machi chatted one after another.

"Ayi, have you noticed that wherever the two of us go, accidents happen." A-Ming said abruptly to Ogata beside him.

Because there are no outsiders around now, A-Machi can finally call Ogata "Ayi" with confidence.

"Ah? Why do you say that?" Ogata asked back.

"Last summer, not long after the two of us arrived in Kyoto, there happened to be a group of lunatics who planned to burn Kyoto."

"Going to the Ou area, I met bandits who were planning to rob the village."

"When I came to Ezo, I went to China Village, and met the Lucia people who were planning to slaughter the village."

"And now it happens to be war"

The more A-Ming talked, the more black lines appeared on his face.

"Are you saying that we have been cursed? Being cursed makes our luck worse"

Hearing Ah-cho's remarks, Ogata couldn't help but smile.

"You think too much, we're not constantly having bad luck, and the number of times of good luck is not small."

"Don't talk about the distance, just talk about the near ones. I thought it might take a long time to find the clues of Xuanzheng and Xuanzhen, but now it only took less than 2 months to collect a lot of clues. There's a clue."

"My intuition tells me that we will soon find Xuanzheng and Xuanzhen."

After that, Ogata raised his hand subconsciously, and touched the large dark purple skin on the left neck that was now blocked by the scarf.

The mayor sighed.

"Well, I don't expect to find Xuanzheng and Xuanzhen quickly. I only hope to escape far away from the flames of war and not be implicated by the flames of war."

Speaking of this, A-Machi paused as if remembering something.

Then he asked Ogata a new question in a hesitant tone:

"Ayi, do you think Qianup and the others will really encourage the naturalized ezos of Matsumae Castle to start a riot?"

Hearing this question from A-Machi, Ogata did not answer immediately.

Instead, stay silent first.

After a moment of silence, he said softly:

"Who knows."

From the beginning to the end, Ogata and the others only knew Chanup and the others for less than a day.

Arrived at the Red Moon Fortress in the afternoon, and then learned from Lin Ziping that night that Huxi Village had key evidence to prove his identity, and then left the Red Moon Fortress the next day

So Ogata and A-cho have only stayed in the Red Moon Fortress for less than a day so far.

The understanding of Chanup and others is still far from the level of knowing the bottom line.

So "Chanup and the others will never do such a thing", Ogata did not dare to pat his chest and say in a firm tone.

"Even if it wasn't for Chanup and the others, it's possible that someone else in the fortress did it. Maybe it was the person from Kapasi Village, who was defeated in the Battle of Kunasi Limenasi and had a bloody feud with everyone. Do it." Ogata added.

When he said this, the memory of being "attacked" by that little girl in the Red Moon Fortress floated in Ogata's mind.

"Of course, it is not ruled out that the shogunate just found an excuse to start a war with the Red Moon Fortress." Speaking of this, Ogata narrowed his eyes slightly, "I think the possibility of this reason is not low."

"I don't know where the shogunate's army has advanced now." A-Ming flattened his lips, "If when we return to the Red Moon Fortress, the Red Moon Fortress has already been surrounded by the army, it will be troublesome. There are some luggage in the Red Moon Fortress, although they are just some unimportant luggage.”

Ogata and the others are now on their way back to the Red Moon Fortress.

After learning from Matsudaira Sadanobu that the shogunate launched troops against the Red Moon Fortress, Ooman immediately decided to temporarily put aside the matter of going to Kushi Village and quickly returned to the Red Moon Fortress.

The reason why I gave up going to Huxi Village and Hongyue Fortress was to tell the Red Moon Fortress that it was not. To be precise, it was to tell the villagers of Qina Village who had just lived in the Red Moon Fortress not long ago that the Red Moon Fortress It is about to be attacked by the shogunate.

Regardless of whether there was such a thing as "the people in the Red Moon Fortress instigating the naturalized ezos of Matsumae Castle to break out in turmoil", the villagers of Qina Village, who have just lived in the Red Moon Fortress for a few days, should be innocent.

After spending so long with the villagers of Qina Village, Ogata also developed some feelings for them.

Ogata helped them once when they were attacked by the Cossacks, and they have been working hard to repay Ogata and Atachi in the future.

The reason why Ogata and the others were able to find Lin Ziping, who might have important clues, was thanks to the help of the villagers of Qina Village.

Now that they are in trouble, Ogata can't just sit back and watch.

Therefore, after hearing the news that the shogunate sent troops, Ogata immediately decided to return to the Red Moon Fortress.

Like Ogata, A-machi also has feelings for the villagers of Kina Village.I agree with Ogata's decision.

And Aizan and Ahili, who are members of the China Village, were naturally distraught when they learned that their clansmen had suffered another disaster, and naturally they would not object to Ogata's decision to quickly return to the Red Moon Fortress.

As for the villagers of Qina Village, after knowing that the Red Moon Fortress is in trouble, whether they choose to leave directly, or choose to share the hardships with Chanup and the others is not a matter for Ogata to decide.

"When we return to Red Moon Fortress and tell Chepke and the shogunate army about the attack, what should the two of us do?" Acho asked a new question.

"At that time, just take a step and watch." Ogata smiled optimistically.

Right now

"Look! Mr. Aizan." Ahili showed Aizan her new rabbit. "I caught another rabbit!"

Aizan who was not far away quickly ran to Ahili.

"Ahili! Well done!" Aizan praised the fat rabbit after briefly looking at the fat rabbit in Ahili's hand, "In this way, we have caught two rabbits."

After that, Aizan mentioned a fat rabbit in his right hand that still had a little body heat.

"These two rabbits are fat enough for us to eat tonight. Let's go back."

"Yeah." Yashili nodded vigorously, "One of these two rabbits is roasted and the other is boiled!"

As a "lovely rabbit lover", Ashley knows many ways to cook rabbits.

When Ashley was thinking about how to cook the two fat rabbits tonight, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a small cave not far from them from the corner of her eye.

"Mr. Aizan! Look! There's a cave there!"

After Ahili's words fell, Aizan hurriedly looked in the direction that Ahili's finger pointed.

After realizing that what Ahili said was true, Aizan's eyes lit up slightly.

after a while

"Mr. Mashima! Ms. Machi!"

Huddled in the hunting lodge, Ogata and Atachi, who were chatting while waiting for Aizan and the others to return, finally waited for Aizan's voice.

Aizan and Ahili each carried a fat rabbit, and ran towards Ogata and the others with joyful faces.

Looking at the two fat rabbits in Aizanyahili's hands, Ogata smiled and said, "You guys are back. Looks like you've gained a lot."

"We not only caught these two rabbits!" Because he ran too fast just now, Aizan said while breathing rapidly, "We also found a cave just now!"

"Oh?" Ogata raised an eyebrow.

"I've already briefly seen the cave. There are no animals living in it, and it's big enough for the four of us to live in! It's not too humid! Let's spend the night in that cave tonight!"

Living in a cave is naturally more comfortable than living in such a simple hunting lodge.

So Ogata nodded and agreed to Aizan's proposal of "sleeping in the cave" almost without hesitation, and then took Aizan, led by Aizan and Ahili, towards the cave they had just discovered. The cave strode away.

Soon, Xu was conveniently at the forefront of his field of vision, and saw a small cave with a hole big enough for three people to walk side by side.

After entering the cave, the scene inside the cave is as spacious as what Aizan said just now, and it is not humid at the same time, making it very suitable for living.

"It would be great if this cave could grow tatami mats." A-Machi stood in the center of the cave, stretching vigorously while looking at the scene inside the cave.

"Why don't you say that it would be great if this cave could grow a bathtub that can emit hot water." Ogata said in a joking tone.

A-Machi shook his head: "Compared to a bathtub with hot water, I would rather sleep on the tatami mat now."

"Don't say such stupid things, let's start a fire together and prepare dinner. I'll go outside and pick up some branches and come back."

When Ogata was about to leave the cave and go outside to pick up branches suitable for lighting a fire, he suddenly heard a strange sound approaching them from a distance.

Ogata was no stranger to this sound.

This is the unique gliding sound and the sound of sled dogs running when the dog sled is moving.

Ogata quickly ran to the entrance of the cave and looked in the direction of the sound.

Soon, in the depths of the woods not far away, Xu Xu saw a dog sled approaching rapidly towards them.

The dog sled was huge, bigger than any sled Ogata had ever seen before, and each of the dogs responsible for pulling the sled was big and strong.

Sitting on the sled and directing the sled dogs to pull the cart is an old man with gray hair.

"Oh, is this cave already inhabited? Sorry, do you have any spare space in your cave? Can you let me stay for one night? I just need a place where I can lie down and sleep. I promise I won't disturb you. What are you doing?"

Before the old man finished speaking, his face was full of surprise.

And Ogata, who was staring at the old man, was also like this, with surprise appearing on his face at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Mr. Tangshen" Ogata murmured.

Ezodi, Takta Village

"Grandpa! I have practiced weaving as you said!" Lilata showed an old man sitting in front of her a piece of cloth in her hand that was still a little immature in weaving.

The old man took the cloth from Lirata, looked it over carefully, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Well, not bad. Lilata. Your cloth really gets better as you weave it."

There was a happy smile on the old man's face.

"Grandpa! Don't forget your agreement with me! You and I agreed that if I finish today's practice, you will continue to tell me the story."

"That's not a story, that's a heroic epic. But you're not wrong to call it a story"

After returning the cloth woven by Lilata to Lilata, the old man folded his hands on his legs.

"Of course grandpa won't break his promise, come sit down, what story do you want to hear today?"

"I want to hear the story that I didn't finish listening to last night!" Lilata jumped on the old man's lap with a face full of joy.

At the same moment when Lilata threw herself on the old man's lap

Not far outside their village of Takta

"Master Supreme." A servant general lowered his voice and reported in a low voice to the Supreme Leader in front of him, "Everyone is in place and ready to attack at any time."

"Okay." Mogami suppressed his excitement and nodded emphatically.

Mogami is currently lurking in a dense bush.

Looking at the Takta village not far ahead, which was braving the flames, Mogami's pupils were full of fiery colors.

After receiving this disguised "siege mission" from his uncle Sheng Tianmu, Mogami immediately led all his troops and headed straight for Taketa Village hidden in the deep mountains.
