I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

After the men he sent arrived at the top hiding place, they only saw corpses all over the floor, and the top corpse happened to be one of the corpses all over the floor

The bad news is not over yet. Not long after Kuroda received the bad news that Mogami was dead, he received another piece of bad news: a strange ashigaru appeared at the "South Stable".

After this foot light stole a horse from the "South Stable", he rode the horse and fled towards the outside of the camp.

The three elements of the strange ashigaru, stealing the horse, and fleeing to the camp are superimposed together, and it is difficult for Kuroda to be alert to this ashigaru.

Realizing that this "Ashigaru" is very likely to be Kuroda pretending to be Ogata, he immediately sent down an order: stop this "Ashigaru" from riding his horse and leave the camp.

It's a pity that Kuroda was one step too late

At that time, the order of the camp had not yet been restored, so the transmission of information was extremely inefficient.

By the time Kuroda heard the news that "a strange ashigaru horse has left the camp", Ogata was about to leave the camp.

When Kuroda gave the order to intercept, Ogata had already left the camp with his men and horses

After learning that "Ashigaru" had left the camp one step too late, Kuroda's mood was hard to describe in words.

Thinking that this "Ashigaru" might be Ogata Isai in disguise, and after this "Ashigaru" had escaped from the camp, Kuroda felt the blood all over his body rushing to his head

This is the end of the matter, and it will not help. Kuroda can only suppress his exhaustion, pull himself together, and continue to preside over the work.

After that, Kuroda rectified the order of the camp bit by bit, and rummaged through the camp inch by inch, looking for Ogata Yidaosai.

However, I searched the entire camp several times inside and out, almost turning the entire camp over, but I couldn't find Ogata Yidao Zhai.

Kuroda had to admit the fact that Ogata Issai should have left here

At this moment, the order in the camp has basically been restored.

At this moment, most of the senior generals in the camp gathered in the commander's tent, asking Kuroda what to do like headless chickens.

At this moment, facing the anxious faces in front of him, Kuroda only felt exhausted.

Previously, Kuroda had only commanded 1000 people at most.

Leading an army of 3000, and still dealing with this kind of mess is beyond the limit of Kuroda's ability.

Kuroda, who was slumped on the ponytail, like a man who lost his soul, silently listened to the "instruction requests" from the generals in front of him for a while, and then he stammered, his head was about to shut down: " In short, in short, let’s count the casualties and count the losses now.”

Before Kuroda could finish his words, a male voice with a neutral tone suddenly sounded from outside the tent:

"Counting the casualties is indeed the first thing to do now."

"But in addition to counting the casualties, we must not forget to strengthen our vigilance."

"The executioner's actions have always been unreasonable and incomprehensible."

"Don't ignore the possibility of him coming back suddenly."

As soon as the male voice sounded, everyone in the camp showed shock, and then turned their heads to look at the tent.

"My lord!" Kuroda was the first to exclaim.

Songping Dingxin copied his hands, lifted the curtain of the tent, and walked slowly into the tent.

All the generals in the camp got up one after another and saluted Matsudaira Sadanobu

Matsudaira Sadanobu waved his hand, motioning for everyone to excuse themselves.

"I know exactly what happened." Matsudaira Sadanobu slowly put down his hand signaling to the generals in the camp to excuse themselves.

Just now, Matsudaira Sadanobu has learned from others what happened in the camp in the past hour.

I learned that I was born and died in battle with my third eye.

I learned that I searched all over the camp and couldn't find Ogata Yidao Zhai.

Listening to one bad news after another, Matsudaira Sadanobu's reaction was very flat.

He didn't even frown, as if Sheng Tianmu's death in battle and Ogata Yidaosai's escape were not big things worth mentioning.

After knowing that most of the senior generals in the army gathered at the commander's camp to discuss the matter, Matsudaira Sadanobu silently took Tachibana to the commander's camp.

Because Tachibana is not qualified to enter the coach's tent, so at this time he is waiting silently outside the tent.

"Calm down, Kuroda-kun." Matsudaira Sadayuki looked at Kuroda calmly, "Don't panic because of such a trivial matter."

"You look so ugly now."

Hearing Matsudaira Sadanobu's reprimand in a flat tone, Kuroda's face immediately showed shame at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"I'm very sorry," Kuroda whispered, "I made you laugh."

"Just apologize to me." Matsudaira Sadanobu continued to say in a tone that was neither salty nor bland, as if there was no emotion contained in it, "Instead of apologizing to me, it is better to focus on the rectification of the army superior."

"Cheer up and show off the spirit of a samurai from the Sendai Domain."

For Matsudaira Sadanobu, no, it should be said that his whole person seems to be surrounded by magic.

After the generals in the camp saw Matsudaira Sadanobu entering the tent with a calm face and folded hands, they felt a little calmer in their flustered hearts.

There is a feeling of having a backbone.

After Kuroda heard Matsudaira Sadanobu's mild rebuke just now, he felt ashamed at first, and then renewed his fighting spirit.

The rationality in my mind that had turned into a "mixed ball of wool" was combed one by one to form a clear parallel line.

Under Matsudaira Sadanobu's reprimand and encouragement, Kuroda, whose state quickly recovered, took several deep breaths

"Haruhi, I will leave it to you to count the casualties. I not only need to know how many people were killed or injured, but also how many supplies were lost."

"Yokoyama, go to the Second Army yourself and tell Master Inamori everything that happened here."

"Tancun, you will continue to lead people to search around the camp."

Kuroda issued military orders one after another in an orderly manner.

And the panic and anxiety on the faces of the generals in the battalion gradually disappeared as Kuroda issued military orders one by one.

The heavy atmosphere that originally filled the air in the tent also slowly faded away.

One of the characteristics of the "organization" is that "as long as the leader has no problems, many problems are easy to talk about."

This feature is especially evident in the army, so there was a saying in ancient China that "one soldier is raging, and the general is raging".

Matsudaira Sadanobu quietly looked at the generals in front of him.

Gently nodding.

The camp where Ah-machi and the others hid

cluck cluck

A large pot stood next to the hunting lodge, and the clear water in the pot was bubbling and bubbling.

Aizan sat beside the cauldron, adjusting the heat.

At this time, Ashley suddenly emerged from the nearby hunting lodge.

As soon as Ahili came out, Aizan immediately stopped the work of controlling the fire, and asked Ahili urgently:

"How? How is Machi-san doing now?"

"Except that the body is still a little hot, everything is okay." Ashley sighed softly.

"It's normal to have a fever." Aizan reassured, "According to my experience, it is normal to have a slight fever after suffering such a serious injury. As long as the wound is not inflamed or suppurated, it will be fine."

Since Ogata's sudden departure last night, Aizan and Ahili have followed Ogata's instructions to take care of Ding.

Although it was called taking care of them, the two actually did nothing.

Ah-ding has been sleeping and has not woken up for a long time, so all Aizan and Ahili can do is to wipe off the sweat on Ah-ding's body.

In order to avoid suspicion, Ahiri did all the work of wiping Ah Ding's sweat, while Aizan was only responsible for rough work such as carrying water and cooking.

Ashley looked up at the sky, with a look of sadness on his face: "It's almost noon, why hasn't Mr. Mashima come back? He shouldn't have any accidents, right? Where did he go?"

"Don't think so much." Aizan said softly, "Mr. Mashima may come back soon. It's almost noon now, it's time to prepare lunch."

After finishing speaking, Aizan stood up.

"Ahili, this pot of hot water is almost ready, you can put out the fire."

"Yeah." Ashley nodded, "Be careful on the road."

Aizan picked up his bow and arrow and went into the nearby woods.

After Aizan left, according to Aizan's instructions, Ahili pushed aside and stamped out the firewood under the pot, then sat by the pot, staring at the boiling water in the pot, in a daze.

Last night, Ashley hardly closed his eyes all night, and has been taking care of Ah Ding personally.

Now that I am free, Ashley only feels tiredness rising up like a tide, and his eyelids are starting to get heavier

Just when Ashley was about to sit up and doze off, a strange sound suddenly sounded from behind her.

Ashley was no stranger to this abnormal sound. She heard the sound of horseshoes every day during this time.

As soon as the sound of horseshoes came to Ahili's ears, the drowsiness that had almost occupied his whole body disappeared immediately.

Like a spring on her buttocks, she jumped up from the ground, grabbed her own bow and arrow next to her, and then looked like she was going to confront a bear or a wolf, and turned her head to look in the direction of the sound of horseshoes At the end of the line of sight, there is a man and a horse.

The man on the horse was half lying on the horse's back, driving the horse under his crotch and slowly leaning towards Ahili.

Seeing this person and horse, the expression on Ahili's face changed a lot.

The expression on her face froze at first.

Then, the frozen expression quickly turned into a look of surprise.

While the color of surprise appeared on her face, Ahili immediately lifted her vigilance.

"Mr. Mashima! Ainu language"

This person and one horse are exactly the Ogata and Radish that Ashley is familiar with.

Ahili threw away the bow and arrow in his hand, and quickly walked towards Ogata.

"Mr. Mashima! You are finally back! Really, where are you going! Mr. Mashima! What is the blood on your body? Ainu language"

It was far away just now, and Ashley didn't see clearly.

After getting closer, Ahili realized that Ogata's current appearance was quite scary.

The clothes were splashed with blood and stains of various colors. These bloodstains and stains occupied nearly [-]% of the clothes on Ogata's body.

"Mr. Mashima, how did your clothes become like this? Are you okay? You look tired Ainu"

Of course Ogata couldn't understand the Ainu language that Ahili spoke.

But based on Ahili's expression and tone, he roughly guessed that Ahili was concerned about him.

Ogata smiled at Ashili, and then said intermittently in the Ainu language he only knew: "I'm fine. Ainu language"

"How is Ah-ding now? Is she sleeping? Where's Aizan? Why didn't you see him?"

Ahiri couldn't understand Ogata's Japanese, but from Ogata's words just now, he heard the names "Amachi" and "Aizan".

Ahili pointed to the hunting lodge not far away, then closed his eyes, folded his hands behind his head, and made a "sleep" gesture.

Then Ahili pointed to the woods next to him, and then made a gesture of drawing a bow and shooting an arrow.

After understanding Ashley's "sign language", Ogata heaved a sigh of relief, as if relieved.

"Are you still sleeping? That's good. If she sees my bloody slashing posture, she will definitely be punished."

After all, Ogata looked down at his blood-stained and stained clothes, subconsciously showing a helpless expression.

"Okay! Got it!"

Aizan held a rabbit's hind legs upside down and lifted it upside down.

As soon as the rabbit started to struggle, Aizan quickly grabbed its head with one hand and crushed the rabbit's head.

Looking at the fat rabbit in his hand, Aizan showed a satisfied expression and looked up and down.

But very suddenly, Aizan frowned suddenly.

Afterwards, Aizan threw away the fat rabbit in his hand at a very fast speed, rolled on the ground, and rolled to the back of a big rock not far away, then drew the bow and pointed the arrow at the not far away A large area of ​​dense bushes nearly half the height of a person.

"Come out." Aizan said in a deep voice, "If you don't come out, I will shoot the arrow."

As an "old hunter", Aizan's body and bones are no longer as good as before, but the eyesight, hearing and other abilities honed through decades of hunting career will not simply regress.

Just now, Aizan heard a strange noise in the bushes not far away.

With his rich hunting experience, he instantly recognized that this was not a sound that animals could make.
