Chapter 1222: Noda Castle, the Weaknesses of the Yagyu Family
"Yagyu Muneyan, where is he?"
Liu Shiba softly made a tentative call.
"Wow..."
Sure enough, a slight noise came from behind him.
Slowly turning around, I saw that it was Yagyu Sogan, a very famous swordsman and ninja.
"Bang!"
Yagyu Soyan knelt down on one knee, bowed his head respectfully and said:
"Lord!"
"Ahem!"
Liu Shiba waved his hands awkwardly and said with a smile:
"It's okay, it's okay! I originally thought that you would go handle the recruitment matters I asked you to do, but I didn't expect you to still be hiding near our formation."
Yagyu Soyan had a rigorous attitude and explained:
"It is my duty to protect my lord, so my eldest son, Yagyu Shizun, will naturally handle the recruitment.
There are still some young people in the clan who are highly skilled in ninjutsu, and I think they will be appreciated by my lord."
"I see……"
Liu Shiba nodded, looked up and down at the old-fashioned Yagyu Muneyan, then his eyes lit up and he said doubtfully:
"I have always felt that ninjutsu is a kind of illusion. Only when I saw the clothes you were wearing today did I realize that you are really wise and foolish."
Yagyu Soyan raised his head and said doubtfully:
"Nani?"
"Crack!"
Liu Shiba walked gently to Yagyu Soyan, slowly stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder...
Yagyu Soyan's shoulders shook violently, then calmed down and did not refuse!
According to the rules, ninjas are not allowed to have contact with other people, not even the lord!
Because the lord will also bring danger to himself!
But, inexplicably, Yagyu Zongyan felt that Liu Shiba had no ill intentions towards him.
Taking a closer look at Yagyu Muneyan's outfit, Liu Shiba laughed:
"Haha, that's it."
"Why are you laughing, my lord?"
Yagyu Zongyan stared at Liu Shiba with a strange expression.
Liu Shiba pointed at Yagyu Sogan’s outer robe, narrowed his eyes and said:
"The secret of hiding the movements of ninjas is in your robe, right?
If my guess is not bad, there are more than a dozen common colors for underwear, such as the color of the land, the color of trees, the color of curtain walls, the color of the stone walls of the city, even the color of stones, the color of rice, etc..."
Speaking of this, Liu Shiba clapped his fingers and said:
"There is even twilight in the sky at night, and with the addition of smoke bombs and other auxiliary aids, if you move quickly enough, it can indeed disappear in an instant.
In fact, the ninja's body did not disappear, but hid on the spot, clinging to the soil, walls, pools, and even turning his robes over and tightening them into a big stone...
To put it bluntly, the ninja is within five meters of the vanishing point, right?"
When Yagyu Soyan heard this, he couldn't help but open his mouth in shock. He was shocked!
No one has ever explained the mystery of ninjas so clearly and simply - it's not even worth it!
If these words were known to outsiders, it would be tantamount to annihilation for the ninja family!
Liu Shiba quietly watched Yagyu Soyan's eyes filled with fear, beast-like viciousness, and hesitation...
"Don't worry, what I said today will not fall into the ears of the second person..."
Liu Shiba smiled majestically and comforted him.
Yagyu Soyan's tense body instantly relaxed, and he bowed to the ground and said:
"I am willing to be driven by my lord!"
The smile on Liu Shiba's face faded, he gradually became serious, and asked softly:
"Okay! Tell me the history of Noda Castle. Your hometown is in Nara, Owari, so you should know a little bit about it."
Yagyu Zongyan rolled his eyes and said respectfully:
"Noda Castle in Mikawa was built a few years ago, right? In the past, there was no one in the thatched pit of Brother Zhizhi..."
……………………………………………………
On the top of a remote hill near Yoshida Jo-hime Street, the main formation of Takeda Shiba, the governor of the Takeda family, is located.
This place is only five or six miles away from the burning Noda Castle. You can clearly see the Tokugawa army, marching to Noda Castle where the smoke is billowing, and then stopping.
Immediately! The messengers from the Tokugawa army rushed forward and issued orders in front of the various retainers' formations.
Then, in the Tokugawa army, the retainers' respective soldiers and horses moved back and forth and began to slowly form a military formation.
The important minister of the Takeda family, Amari Koyasu, watched for a while and first said to Liu Shiba:
"Lord! Tokugawa Ieyasu, prepare to order an attack on the Takeda family's artillery team stationed above Ryogoku."
Baba Nobuka nodded and echoed:
"Hey! Judging from the situation, we should go into battle. My lord's purpose of slaughtering the city is probably to provoke Ieyasu to make a mistake and rush in..."
