"Tokugawa Ieyasu!! Are you crazy?! What are you talking about!!"
As one of the emperor's most trusted retainers, Interior Minister Fujiwara Sanobu was the first to react. He threw the jade cup in his hand and strode forward to grab Tokugawa Ieyasu's collar, wanting to pull him up and ask him for more information.
!But when he pulled... he was stunned in place...
"Soft...soft armor...!!!"
Yes……
Underneath his bathing suit, Tokugawa Ieyasu also wore soft armor made of tiny chains...
If the spilled wine and words just now made everyone confused, then this soft armor at this moment... is enough to explain everything...
"Pfft~!!!"
Tokugawa Ieyasu pulled a dagger directly from his sleeve, stabbed it into Fujiwara Sanobu's chest, and twisted it hard! When he pulled it out again, blood spurted directly into his face!!
"You...you...!!"
Until the banquet started, Fujiwara Sanobu was still imagining how the glory of His Majesty the Emperor would shine on the Yamato nation again. But at this moment, in addition to his eyes full of panic and despair, he was killed on the spot before he could even say a complete sentence!!
"puff!!!"
"puff!!!"
"puff!!!"
In an instant, all the Tokugawa family members who entered the venue together took action!!
When Honda Tadakatsu and Hattori Hanzo, who were military generals, killed these civil servants, they were like wolves entering a flock of sheep. They would stab someone by pulling on their neck and collar, and stab someone by grabbing them! The white paper windows were constantly splashed with thick smudges.
Brilliant red! Blood is splashing unbridled in this room!
Several civil servants who fled in panic opened the shoji doors in panic, but what greeted them... was an armored samurai wielding a long sword!!
Kill with a knife!!
No one left alive!!
Emperor Huishui just stared blankly at everything that happened in front of him, and then... a warm, red color... soaked into his trouser legs and dripped on the mat...
After Tokugawa Ieyasu witnessed this with his own eyes, he wiped the blood on his face and smiled...
The laughter...is full of self-deprecation and sadness...
"How could a descendant of Amaterasu be so mediocre?! He...he was so scared...hahahahaha...what on earth have we been believing in for the past thousand years!!"
81Zw.????m
Following this cry and grief and anger, Tokugawa Ieyasu was furious, strode forward and grabbed Emperor Gomizuo, and scratched his neck with the bloody dagger in his hand...
The sound of wind...
Splashing sound…
The "gurgling" sound after blood blocks the trachea...
Tokugawa Ieyasu watched helplessly as His Majesty the Emperor, who once respected him so much, slowly struggled and became weak, until his eyes completely lost all luster...
"Naomasa Ii!!"
"Your Majesty is here!!"
"Cut the weeds...remove the roots..."
"yes!!"
Following the response of a red-armored samurai outside the room, nearly a hundred samurai dressed like him, covered in red armor and covering their faces with red masks, rushed out of the hall and walked towards the backyard of the Kyoto Imperial Palace!!
There...lived the Emperor's only heir, a girl who was only eleven years old, Xingzi...
The warriors responsible for protecting Xingzi's safety were also awakened by the sounds of fighting and screams. They gathered in front of her palace, drawing their swords and looking at them! Be alert!
"Red Bei Team!!?? Why!! Why is the Red Bei Team here!!"
“Are they here to protect His Highness’ safety!?”
"The residence in front of you is His Highness Xingzi!! You guys should stop here immediately!!"
"Dangdang——!! Poof!!"
"hiss--……"
Following a burst of sword flashes and spraying of blood, a guard fell into a pool of blood and could no longer move, while the members of the red team were still slowly approaching...
The guards didn't fully understand what happened until now...
They...are here to kill His Highness!!!
"Keinosuke!! Protect His Highness and leave quickly!! Let's hold them back!!"
One samurai shouted loudly without looking back, and the rest of the samurai also burst out with their dying consciousness, holding up their samurai swords and charging towards the Red Bei team with strange shouts! They started a life-and-death fight with the opponent! But in the face of training With the elite Tokugawa troops covered in heavy armor, what chance do they have of winning? What's more, in terms of numbers... they were completely crushed by the opponent...
Yamamoto Keinosuke watched his friends fall into a pool of blood one after another, biting his back molars, yelled, turned around and pushed open the door, picked up the panicked Xingzi, and rushed behind Open the door and run towards the pine forest behind the Imperial Palace!!
Save Your Highness!!
Save Your Highness!!
At this moment, there was only this one thought left in his mind. Despite the constant screams and shouts coming from behind him, and despite the branches scratching his arms and cheeks, he ran as hard as he could without looking back...
But how could Tokugawa Ieyasu, who spent huge sums of money and strive for excellence to create the strongest Guards, disappoint the head of the family in the most important mission?
A group of red troops killed dozens of royal guards just between Sumeru, and twenty samurai led by Naomasa Ii opened a passage and chased after them without hesitation!
Dark night! Jungle!
Waning Moon! Breathe!
The game between the stalker and the prey arouses the heartbeat and adrenaline surge!!
One wrong step and you will face death!!
If you miss it even a little bit, you will be completely destroyed!!
The moonlight reflected light in everyone's eyes, but without exception they were all red...
The eleven-year-old girl didn't understand what was happening at all, nor why she was being chased by a group of people. She just hooked Yamamoto Keinosuke's neck like this, trying to help him lighten the burden, and stretched out her hand to wipe away the stains on his forehead. Sweat...
Save Your Highness!! Save Your Highness! Save Your Highness!!
At this time, Yamamoto Keinosuke was only five years older than the girl... He was still just a child... Even Tsukiyo was not qualified to shave... just because he was a low-level samurai born from a commoner...
And the reason why he was able to rise from a commoner to a samurai and was personally given a surname by His Majesty the Emperor was Yamamoto...
It was also because he rescued an injured high-ranking samurai in the mountains...he healed his injuries and sent him back to Kyoto...
Everything... seemed to have been predestined. When he rushed out of the jungle with the girl in his arms, and saw a wide river in front of him, he... was completely desperate... hugging His Highness and kneeling on his knees. Fell on the embankment...
It's not like he can't swim
But he knew very well that trying to lead His Highness across the river with his remaining physical strength would be tantamount to committing suicide by throwing himself into the river.
It's not a pity that he died...
But if His Highness also dies in the river... then how can he repay His Majesty the Emperor's kindness!
Right now...there are only two options left...
Or find a place to hide and recover your strength, and then swim to the other side when you have accumulated enough!
Either... he draws his sword and prepares for battle. He is wearing light armor and his limbs are weak at this time. The opponent is wearing heavy armor. At this moment, he should be at the end of his crossbow!!
After careful consideration, the young Yamamoto Keinosuke looked at the princess in his arms, and finally chose to hide and recover his strength...
But before he could stand up again, three warriors in red armor had already surrounded them!!
"Your Highness, please hide behind Xiaosheng... Xiaosheng... will risk his life to protect Your Highness!!"
The girl did not speak, but nodded slowly, held the young man's clothes tightly with her little hands, and hid behind him...
But just as the three red-armored warriors were approaching the two of them, they shouted and stopped everyone...
"Back off!!"
"Whoa, whoa!"
After hearing this order, the three of them put away their blades without any hesitation and retreated to both sides. When the person who gave the order slowly approached, the three of them hurriedly bent down and bowed. This scene clearly showed that this person
status.
"You've grown taller...Keinosuke..."
The person who spoke approached the two of them and raised his hand to take off the mask on his face...
After Yamamoto Keinosuke saw this person's face clearly through the moonlight, he instantly fell into confusion and panic! Even the katana in his hand trembled slightly...
"Your Excellency Jing Yi!! How could it be you!!"
The young man looked at the samurai who had been saved by him, and at the same time at the mentor who taught him martial arts. He couldn't believe that Naomasa Ii, who had taught him what loyalty was, and had even been favored by His Majesty the Emperor, would actually take the lead.
The leader who drove them to a dead end!!
"Sir Ii..." Yamamoto Keinosuke asked in a hoarse voice, trembling: "Where is your...loyalty..."
Naomasa Ii lowered his eyelids and remained silent...
"Your Excellency Ii!! His Majesty the Emperor is very kind to you..."
"Shua! Huh! Poof——!!!"
Before Yamamoto Keinosuke could finish his words, there was a sound of breaking wind and a smell of blood... The young man's eyes widened and he looked down at the long knife that passed through his side and stabbed directly into the chest of Her Highness the Princess. He was stunned.
Already...
"His Majesty the Emperor just wanted to claim credit in front of the head of the family for saving me... It was just mutual use, there is no kindness..." Naomasa Ii looked calm and spoke coldly. He quickly sheathed his sword and turned around to leave...
When one of the three red-armored warriors saw this scene, he quickly shouted at the back of the general: "Your Excellency Jing Yi! The master of the house has an order not to leave anyone alive!!"
"What...? Are you blind..." Naomasa Ii slowly turned around and looked at the three of them, his eyes filled with murderous intent...
"Where are there any living people here...? Haven't I killed them all?"
Upon hearing this, the man immediately understood and waved his hands quickly, and the three of them quickly caught up with Naomasa Ii...
"Why——!!!Why——!!Your Excellency Ii——!!!Why is this——!!!"
Yamamoto Keinosuke held the princess and pressed the wound desperately with his hands. He wanted to stop all this, but how could he stop the flow of life with his mortal body... In the end, he could only watch the princess before him
His arms gradually became cold and limp, until he closed his eyes and stopped breathing...
He cried desperately... roared at the top of his lungs, but no one answered his question...
Only the gentle breeze blowing by the river embankment...the moonlight falling in the clouds...accompany this young man and the ignorant girl in his arms...
