I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Seeing that there were people on the east side, Ah-machi went to look for windows facing the north and south, only to find that there were enemies with musketeers in either direction.

Are you surrounded...

A-Machi tightened Su Sakura in his hand.

What happened to me tonight... why am I always surrounded by people...

After a turnaround, A-cho and A-zu returned to their room.

"Miss A-Ming." A-Zhu was also a little calmer now, but his face still had a strong expression of anxiety, "What should we do now...?"

A-Machi, who pursed his lips tightly, did not immediately respond to A-Zhu's anxious inquiry.

Because she doesn't know what to do now...

According to her observation just now, she and A Zhu have been surrounded. There are enemies on the southeast, north and south sides of the hotel, and there are no less than 10 enemies on each side, and each of them has a flintlock gun...

Previously, she relied on strategy and luck to narrowly escape from the siege of Baixiang.

But now, the number of people surrounding her is several times that of Baixiang and others just now.

Ah Ding asked herself if she didn't have the skill to escape from being surrounded by more than 40 musketeers, and she didn't have the skill to dodge bullets.

Cha Cha Cha Cha...

Footsteps were approaching.

This is the sound of the enemy's footsteps approaching the hotel.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the anxious look on Azhu's face became more and more intense.

At the critical juncture, Ah-Machi's lips were tightly pressed, but now they loosened.

She sat down cross-legged, and then took out Scarlet Sakura from the Mariana Trench, which hadn't had the time to reload just now.

"Azuki, take your weapon and prepare to fight." As Machi said, he took out gunpowder and projectiles, and began to load the bullets into Hizakura.

"Are we going to fight head-on with the enemy?" A Zhu stared wide-eyed.

"Of course not." Ah Ding's reloading technique was very skillful and neat, and while she was speaking, she had already stuffed the bullet into Fei Ying's barrel, "If we fight head-on with them, we definitely have no chance of winning."

"Later, you will hide with me on the ceiling and hide on the ceiling."

"The enemies outside are coming towards us. In order to catch us, they will definitely let people into the hotel."

"This gives us the opportunity to break down one by one."

"Let's wait for the opportunity to kill the enemies who rushed into the hotel. Reduce the number of enemies."

"The people who came in to arrest us were killed by us, and the rest of the enemies outside the hotel should be more or less flustered."

"At that time, let's look at the opportunity to escape from here."

"But... there must be many people sent into the hotel to arrest us..." A Zhu hesitated, "With just the two of us, is there a way to defeat all the people who rushed into the hotel...?"

"...Azhu, do you know? Ever since I followed Ayi and stayed with Ayi through so many storms, I realized a very profound truth." With a smile, he said slowly in a half-joking tone, "In a crisis, whether you can grasp the chance depends entirely on your strength and luck."

Bang!

As soon as Ah-cho finished speaking, the sound of the door being kicked open happened to be heard from the first floor of the hotel.

It was also at this time that Ah-machi completed the reload of Scarlet Sakura.

"Azuki, come with me."

Temporarily stuffing Su Ying and the loaded Scarlet into the Mariana Trench, A-Ming took a small table next to it, stepped on the table, tiptoed, moved the ceiling above his head, and then Followed the removed hole into the ceiling, and then stretched out his hand to Azuki who was under the ceiling.

After hesitating for a while, Azuki gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand and grabbed the arm that Acho extended towards her, and with Acho's help, he went to the ceiling.

The hotel staff hadn't cleaned the upper level of the ceiling for an unknown amount of time.

Dust, cobwebs, everywhere.

A-Ming silently pushed away the spider webs hanging above her head, and then took out the double guns that had just been placed in the Mariana Trench.

Heartbeat started to accelerate uncontrollably.

While A-Ming struggled to control his breathing and reduce the sound of his breathing, he quietly listened to the sound of footsteps coming from the first floor...

……

……

Jiezheng and Ah Qing are now just west of the hotel.

Due west is the direction where the gate of the hotel is located.Therefore, Jiezheng took special care of the west side of the hotel, and deployed the most troops in this direction.

After the siege of the hotel was completed, Jiezheng immediately waved his hand and sent a team of 16 elite fighters into the hotel to arrest people.

Bang!

The door of the hotel was kicked open by the "raid team".

Jiezheng, who was hiding in the dark alley, looked calmly at the "raid team" who were entering through the kicked-down gate with his hands behind his back.

The "raid team" that entered the hotel was divided into 4 groups of 4 people. The people in each group held guns and formed horns for each other, protecting each other's backs.

The people in the hotel have already run away, which greatly facilitates the "raid team" to find people.

The "raid team" was moving slowly.

Because they didn't move forward an inch, they would stab the ceiling with the flintlock guns in their hands, which was strictly ordered by Jiezheng to do so.

If someone is hiding in the ceiling, the sound of stabbing the ceiling with a gun will be completely different from the sound of stabbing the ceiling with nothing above it.

The purpose of this move is to confirm whether there are Tibetans on the ceiling.

Hearing the sound of the "raid team" stabbing the ceiling with a gun coming from the first floor, A-Machi subconsciously pursed his lips because of his heavy heart.

Although the speed of the "raid team" was not fast, the hotel they stayed in was not big. It only had 2 floors, and the area of ​​each floor was also very small.

After a while, Ah-Ming heard the footsteps of the "Assault Squad" at the stairway connecting the first and second floors.

"...Azuki." Azuki turned his head and whispered to Azuki who was behind him, "After the enemy entered the room below us, we jumped down to attack the enemy together."

"This room is not that spacious. This kind of terrain is good for us, but bad for enemies who use flintlock guns."

"We have a better chance of winning if we fight in the room."

"But... from the sound of footsteps, the number of enemies must be at least 10..." Azuki muttered, "Although we fight in the room, the terrain is favorable to us, but the two of us are going to deal with a dozen or so people with flintlock guns. Enemies...that's too...I've never faced an enemy with a musket before..."

"Coincidentally." A-Machi smiled at A-Zhu, "I have very little experience in fighting enemies who use muskets as weapons."

After speaking, A-Ming held his breath, listening carefully to the enemy's footsteps, and judging the enemy's current position based on this, while quietly loosening the ceiling board in front of him, so that they could jump off later.

After panic and fear flickered in Azhu's eyes for a while, she gradually stabilized her mind.

Putting on an expression of "I'm going to fight it out", he slowly pulled out the wakizashi worn on his left waist.

The enemy's footsteps have appeared in the corridor outside the room.

After realizing that she was surrounded again, Ah-cho was also panicked and anxious, but she kept trying to stay calm.

But there is a limit to trying to be calm.

When he heard the enemy's footsteps outside the corridor of the room, a little bit of nervous sweat still broke out from the forehead and back of A-cho.

Even A-Ming broke out in a cold sweat, let alone A-Zhu.

Even though it was a warm night tonight, Azhu felt that his whole body was wet and cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

The sound of enemy footsteps has appeared outside the room door.

A-Machi swallowed hard, moistening the throat that had been dry due to tension just now.

wow...

The sound of the paper sliding door being pulled open sounded.

The enemy's footsteps have appeared in the room!

The incomparably clear sound of footsteps reached his ears.

Enemies with more than 10 people... are now under the tatami mat 4 steps away from Amachi and the others.

Tuk Tuk Tuk…

The "raid team" was still meticulously stabbing the ceiling with their muskets.

While checking every part of the room, including the ceiling, they slowly entered the room. The originally empty room gradually became crowded.

Tuk tuk duk...!

A-Machi and A-Zhu huddled in the southwest corner of the room.

There was a knocking sound on the ceiling three steps in front of A-Machi.

Tuk Tuk Tuk!

There was a knocking sound, only 2 steps away from A-Ming.

Tuk Tuk Tuk! !

The enemy... is already under Acho!

It's now!

Ah Ding gritted his teeth, and tightly clenched the two guns in his hands.

And Azuki, who was squatting beside A-ding, gritted his teeth and gripped the knife without A-ding's order at this time.

But just when A-Ming was about to jump out of the ceiling and fight to the death with the enemies below

"You are surrounded by us! Throw away your weapons obediently, it will be good for you and me!"

A male voice suddenly came from outside the hotel.

Hearing this male voice, A-Ming was startled.

Then subconsciously showed a happy smile.

It was an old male voice.

This is an old male voice that makes people feel a sense of security after listening to it.

……

……

Jie Zheng, who was hiding in a dark alley, with his hands behind his back, looked at the hotel not far away expressionlessly, quietly waiting for the news of the "raid team" responsible for rushing into the hotel to arrest people.

Ah Qing, who was standing beside Jiezheng, showed impatience at this moment: "Why hasn't there been any movement for so long..."

"Ah Qing, don't worry." Jiezheng said in relief, "After all, we are going to arrest people in a hotel, so naturally it will take some time."

"Don't worry, that woman can't escape."

"It is us who seize the initiative on the battlefield."

The corner of Jiezheng's mouth raised a confident arc.

"We can attack when we advance, and we can defend when we retreat. Once we find that the woman is difficult to deal with, we will just avoid the battle for the time being."

"Anyway, the terrain here is wide and there are many ways to escape. If we want to run, who else can stop us..."

"Genichi, we barely caught up..."

"Well, yes... um...you are surrounded by us! Throw away your weapons obediently, it will be good for you and me!"

Jiezheng was still triumphantly expressing that the initiative on the battlefield was in their hands, when two old male voices suddenly sounded above his head.

Jiezheng shrank his pupils suddenly in fright, and quickly looked up at his own head.

I saw two old men standing on the roof of a private house behind the dark alley where he was hiding.

One of the old men had a big beard, and his shiny head without a single hair reflected the glare of the moonlight so hard to look straight at.

Another old man, although he is also an old man with many wrinkles on his face, but his hair is very thick.

His thick white hair was tied into a neat bun, he was wearing a wine-red feather, his hands were wearing black full-finger gloves, and around his waist was a dark red sword and wakizashi with a dark red handle and scabbard.

The wine-red feathered hem swayed slightly in the evening wind.

Its appearance is so unrestrained.

"Who are you guys?" Jiezheng asked anxiously while leading the people around him back quickly to distance himself from the two mysterious people.

"If you don't obediently put down your weapons, you will all be cut down." The very handsome old man said lightly.
