Kiyosato's eyes were red, and she drew her sword and rushed towards Takada Yukino, and the two figures passed by each other.
A line of blood spurted out from Qingli's chest. She fell to the ground, her eyes widened, and she reached forward unwillingly.
I ventured out this time just because I was worried about him and wanted to take a look at him.
Takada Yukino looked back at Kiyosato who was still struggling, and Kondo Isamu, who had already walked up, reminded him.
"Sir, your face..."
Takada Yukino wiped her finger on her cheek, and there was a little blood stain on her finger.
"It's okay, I just got a little scratched by her blade."
Isamu Kondo looked at Kiyosato who was still crawling hard and sighed.
"I didn't expect that one of these dandy boys could hurt you, sir. This person's swordsmanship..."
Takada Yukino shook his head and said.
"Her sword skills are terrible, but her determination to live is very strong."
Takada Yukino walked up to Kiyosato and raised the Mikazuki Munechika in her hand.
"You have to understand that in this world, some mistakes are unforgivable.
If, behind this blood-stained knife and the life that became a victim, he could no longer be humiliated and bury the past, I would not hesitate to raise the knife.
Well... you made me feel strange, I seem to have talked a bit too much today."
Takada Yukino's eyes narrowed and he slashed with his sword.
Until the end, Qingli did not give up. She kept moving her body and struggled forward to escape. Her hands were always stretched forward, and she seemed to be shouting someone's name.
After the stabbing, Takada Yukino looked at Kiyosato's body that was no longer struggling, and silently wiped Mikazuki Munechika with a white towel.
Kondo Isamu behind him handed over a piece of Tenchu paper with both hands. Takada Yukino took it and threw it on the ground.
"In the next life, be more peaceful."
The four people who turned to leave suddenly stopped. Yukino Takada looked around and saw that they were surrounded.
A person walked out of the street corner, it was Bai Di San Taifu, he bowed to her and said.
"Lord Takada, Oitai wants to see you."
Takada Yukino looked at her for a while and asked.
"You arranged this all?"
Bai Di San Taifu smiled proudly.
"My lord, you have been avoiding us. As a last resort, I had to use a little trick."
Takada Yukino pointed at Kiyosato's body and said coldly.
"Use this person?"
Bai Di San Taifu glanced at the corpse and said indifferently.
"You are hiding deep in Kyoto, and you will only show up when God punishes you.
As a last resort, I had to use people from the shogunate's security team to act as a tactic, and that's how I found you."
Takada Yukino stared blankly at the proud Momochi Santao.
"How did you use her?"
Bai Di San Tai Fu chuckled.
"She had a childhood sweetheart fiancé. I tried to tell her the false news that her fiancé was seriously ill. She didn't think much and hurriedly ran out of the mouse hole where she was hiding.
What a fool.
Leaving aside these trivial matters, Mr. Takada, the Odaisho has been very angry these days. If you continue to act recklessly, it will not do you any good, so please come back with me."
Takada Yukino looked at the Momochi Santao who was vaguely threatening him, and suddenly struck out with a slash.
Bai Di San Tai Fu only felt her eyes blurred as the blade had already passed her scalp and chopped off half of her hair. The hair spread out in the air, as if dancing lightly.
The Third Taifu of Baidi said angrily.
"Takada-sama! Don't mess around!"
Takada Yukino returned the sword to its sheath, bent down and picked up the Tenchu paper from the ground. Half of the paper was already stained red with Kiyori's blood.
She was silent for a moment, crumpled the paper into a ball, threw it on Bai Di San Taifu, and bounced it.
"Where does Qingli's fiancé live?"
The third wife of Momochi looks uncertain, this Takada Yukino is simply a lunatic!
If she hadn't known that Odaisho was very fond of her, the third wife of Momochi, who had lost half of her hair, would have wanted to turn against her and take action.
Takada Yukino, who didn't hear the answer, raised his head and glanced at Momochi Santafu. His sharp eyes made Momochi Santafu tremble subconsciously.
At this time, another person walked out of the black shadow, bowed and said.
"It's just in front of the mall. The house number is Yukiyo's house."
The corner of Baichi San Taifu's eyes twitched, and he glanced coldly at Fujibayashi Mukuro who came out to reply without authorization.
Takada Yukino nodded, picked up Kiyori's body and said.
"Go back tomorrow. Now, I have one more thing to do."
She carried Kiyosato's body and walked towards Momochi Santafu. Momochi Santafu gritted his teeth and stepped aside.
Kondo Isamu and the other three followed them out. When they passed by Momochi Santafu, Kondo Isamu gave her a thumbs up and made a provocative gesture of slitting her throat.
Although Mibu Lang is a desperate man with no way out, he still despises Ninja leaders like Baiji San Taifu who have no bottom line in doing things.
The third wife of Baiji snorted coldly, but did not dare to move. Faced with the madman Takada Yukino, she also panicked.
Watching the four of them walk away, Baiji Santafu turned around and sneered at Fujibayashi Mukuro.
"Fujibayashi-hime, you are very good."
As if he didn't hear her sarcasm, Fujibayashi bowed respectfully.
"Your Excellency is ridiculously complimentary.
Odaisho's feelings for Lord Takada are unusual. We ministers must know how to share your worries and do things with caution.
As long as Mr. Takada is willing to go back, it will be fine if we suffer a little grievance."
The third wife of Bai Di touched the missing half of her hair and snorted coldly.
"If she doesn't come back to Sibo Mansion tomorrow, let's see what you do!"
Fujibayashi whispered.
"No, Lord Takada is an honest man."
The third husband of Baiji looked at Fujibayashi coldly, always feeling that her words were a bit harsh.
Fujibayashi maintained a respectful attitude and lowered her head. Under the moonlight, Fujibayashi's entire face was buried in the shadows, and her expression could not be seen.
———
The night was getting darker, and Kiyosato was hiding in a house in another town in Kyoto.
Tai Guan suddenly stood up and woke up several people around him.
Ueno came up and asked in a low voice.
"What's wrong?"
"Someone."
Daguan said as he picked up the sword and leaned his body against the door. The other Ji warriors quietly stood up and silently picked up their swords. Everyone's eyes were focused on the wooden door.
Suddenly, there were several knocks on the door, three, two, three, which was exactly the code they had set.
Daguan relaxed a little and asked in a low voice.
"who?"
"I, Ise Sadaki."
Odate opened his eyes wide. The visitor turned out to be the daughter of Ise Sadakyo, Ise Sadake?
She signaled to the Ji warriors who were on guard behind her and opened the door slowly.
Ise Sadaki was indeed the only one outside the door. She bowed slightly and said jokingly.
"Odate-hime, you are so embarrassed."
Da Guan twitched the corner of his mouth and pulled her in. He didn't forget to look outside a few times before closing the door.
A group of people breathed a sigh of relief, and someone lit a candlestick. The candlelight was weak, and the faces of the concubines were vaguely visible in the dim light.
Ise Sadake just sat down, Odate had already said coldly.
"How did you find us?"
Ise Sadaki looked around at the seated Hime Warriors and said.
"Odate-hime, what you said is unheard of. We are all colleagues in the shogunate, and we have close contact with each other on weekdays. Is there anything you need to hide from me?"
Odate glanced at the ladies with an indifferent expression, knowing that someone must have leaked the news to Ise Sadaki.
But at this time, she was not interested in worrying about it anymore and asked directly.
"What are you doing here?"
Ueno on the side also said angrily.
"Are you here to see our jokes?"
Ise Sadaki looked at the two leaders and sighed.
"Qingsato is dead."
"What!"
Ueno subconsciously raised his voice, then closed his mouth tightly.
Daguan licked his lips and said bitterly.
"This idiot, I told her not to go out, but she just didn't listen."
Ueno asked with anger in his deliberately low voice.
"She just left half the night, how did you know she was dead?"
Ise Sadake shook his head and said.
"Takada Battousai dumped the body in front of Yukiyo's house, and Bajun's cries could be heard from two streets away."
Ueno's eyes turned red and he cursed.
"Takada Battousai, this bastard!"
Odate calmly looked at Ise Sadaki and said.
"What about you? What are you here for?
You didn’t join the shogunate’s security team, let alone the rumors, why are you here to join in the fun?”
Ise Sadake shook his head and said.
"Don't say it so heartlessly, I am also Qingli's friend, and everyone is a friend.
In the past few days, Takada Battousai killed twelve people, oh, including Kiyosato, it was already thirteen.
How long are you going to hide? Will you never come out in this life?
A group of old women are hiding in a shabby house, and they can't eat or sleep well. Don't you feel panicked when you smell the smell?"
Ueno glared and was about to get angry. Odate grabbed her and looked at Ise Sadaki and said.
"Don't use aggressive tactics, just say what you have to say."
Ise Sadaki said solemnly.
"We all know who Takada Battosai is, and she won't listen to anyone's explanation. Even if the shogunate and the Shiba family join forces to suppress her, this matter is not over.
You will live in fear in the future until she comes to you with a knife. There is only one way to solve this matter."
Odate squinted his eyes, looked at the eloquent Ise Sadaki, and sneered.
"Ise-hime, you are truly a good daughter of your mother, you are literally carved from the same mold."
Ise Sadake's expression froze and he looked at Tai Kwun with a cold face.
"What do you mean?"
Taiguan shook his head, his expression indifferent.
"It doesn't matter, at least what you said makes sense.
Takada Battousai will not let us go. The only way we want to get rid of this nightmare is to kill her.
Then how are you going to convince us to die? We all combined can't beat her!
In the sword room competition, she killed ten swordsmen with superb swordsmanship. In the past few years, her swordsmanship has improved and become even more powerful.
We know ourselves and we don’t have the ability to kill her."
Odate's test made Ise Sadake laugh. It was really a pleasure to communicate with smart people.
"You want to kill her, but you are not trying to compete with her in swordsmanship. How can it be so difficult?
I have prepared iron cannons, bows, and spears for you. They are just swordsmen. They can fire arrows from a distance and shoot them down. If they get close enough, they can stab them to death.
I checked and found that they travel in groups of three or five each time. They may be worried that if they go out in groups, their whereabouts will be easily exposed.
As long as you seize the opportunity, it will not be difficult to kill Takada Battousai."
Daguan looked at her and said.
"It seems that you have already found an ambush location for us?"
Ise Sadaki nodded and said.
"In the past few days, the Shiba family has turned over the entire Kyoto to look for people. Takada Battoushai cannot hide for long and must return to Shiba's mansion.
I will send people to keep an eye on Sibo's mansion. As long as she goes there, I will inform you to guard the perimeter.
When she comes out..."
Taiguan said coldly.
"What if she is imprisoned by Oitai and can't come out?"
Ise Sadaki smiled.
"Even if she needs to be imprisoned, it will only be after Renshenglang has been properly arranged. Don't worry, you have a chance to send her to hell.
Think about Kiyosato, think about Matsuda-sama, think about the relatives and friends who have died tragically in the past few days. Are you going to be a coward for the rest of your life, or a hero for a moment?"
Odate remained silent. Ueno beside him could no longer hold back and held Odate's shoulders.
"Let's do it! Odate Hime, we can't walk around Takada Battosai forever!"
Daguan glanced at the concubines, and everyone's eyes were full of desperate and ruthless expressions.
She knew that Ise Sadaki had bad intentions, but at this time, she had no other choice.
"Okay, bring us the bows, arrows, iron cannons, and spears, and prepare a few sets of daggers for us."
Ise Sadaki said with a smile.
"No problem, I'll go back and prepare."
———
Ise Sadaki walked out of the house, and several figures appeared on the street corner, following her.
She waved and someone came forward.
"Little Lord."
Ise Sadaki said in a low voice.
"Keep an eye on them, and we must deal with them after the incident is completed. This matter must not be implicated in the Ise family!"
"Hi!"
———
On the Yodo River, Takada Yono looked towards Kyoto.
"How long until we get to Kyoto?"
The attendant behind him answered respectfully.
"Sir, according to the current speed of the ship, we will arrive in Kyoto at midnight tomorrow."
"It's too slow. Find a way to make it faster."
"Hi!"
———
The rising sun rises in the east.
In Shiba's mansion, Yoshihiro received news from the confidentiality team that Yukino Takada would be back today.
He felt a little relieved and ordered her to go down after breakfast. As soon as Takada Yukino came back, he brought her to see him.
But he didn't expect that he would have to wait until the sun set and the lanterns first came on.
Looking at Yukino Takada, who was kowtowing to the ground and looking calm in front of him, Yoshigami suppressed his anger and asked.
"Why did you come back so late?"
Xueno said cutely.
"I was busy all night last night and slept during the day.
Before coming back, I arranged work for the people of Renshenglang to continue searching for hidden insects. So, it was a bit late.
My lord, have you had your dinner?"
The corner of Yiyin's eyes twitched, and when he saw Yukino looking okay, he felt his blood pressure rising.
"have eaten!"
Xueno looked at him blankly and said.
"I haven't eaten yet, I'm a little hungry."
The string called reason in Yoshigami's mind broke instantly. He couldn't help but stepped forward, slapped Yukino on the head with his palm, and roared angrily.
"Eat, eat, eat! Eat! Do you know what you have done!"
Yukino rubbed her head with an innocent look on her face.
"pain.."
Then she bowed carefully, looked at Yiyin and said.
"Master, those who say bad things about you should shut up. As long as Yukino is around, they will never dare to speak again."
Looking at Yukino's unadulterated eyes, full of joy, Yi Gin's eyes felt sour and his heart softened.
"You little fool..."
Yoshigan said after looking at Kamaojigo and Ii Naomasa who were sitting next to him.
"Naomasa, go get something to eat for Yukino."
Ii Naomasa was stunned and thought he heard wrongly.
Yukino has made a mess in Kyoto and caused so much trouble to the Odaisho, but he still wants to eat? Let’s eat p?
Ii Naomasa was still in a daze, but Yukino opened her mouth with a smile.
"I'd like a bowl of white rice and two pickled radishes. Are there any dried fish in the kitchen today? If so, give me two."
Yukino ordered the dishes as if asking for credit, which made Ii Naomasa embarrassed and subconsciously looked at the master.
