Volume 7 Jiangnan Green Looking Maple Red Chapter 1003 Resistance
After midnight, the ninjas who entered the tunnel hurried back.
"Sir, the people at the front came back from the news. The tunnel has been dug and blocked. There is also the smell of gunpowder. It seems that it may detonate. There are footprints in the tunnel. They must have escaped from here." He rushed back to life.
The ninja asked Amano Keitoku, "What should we do next?"
"Don't worry, it's definitely still within the city. The moat is so deep around Maple Leaf Mountain Castle that we can't dig it out no matter what." Amano Jingtoku was not too panicked, "Where is the direction of the tunnel?"
"South." Ninja responded.
"Then mobilize all the ninjas from the Military Intelligence Department and Crow to search Nancheng. We must capture the eldest son and Maple Leaf Mountain Palace."
After all the ninjas and the Hatamoto samurai of the Oda family were dispatched, Amano Keidei fell into deep thought about the tunnel.
Such a wide tunnel, and completely hidden from the eyes and ears of Crow... obviously could not be accomplished overnight, but was a back road that had been dug carefully for many years. Such a style was definitely not done by His Highness. Could it have been dug by Madam before?
·
At this time, after all the hardships, Sena Ujiyoshi, Yuqiu Shang, Imagawa Kaede and his party finally got out of the tunnel and came to an abandoned warehouse in Gonomaru in the south of the city. Sena Ujiyoshi patted his body while
While dusting the dust, he said to Imagawa Kaede, "Madam, I can only help you escape here."
"It's best for you to help us escape here." Imagawa Kaede glanced at Sena Uji meaningfully, "If I had known just now that this tunnel led outside the city, I would not necessarily have followed you.
Already."
"Haha... Leaving a way out is important. I know it well. If you dig outside the city, you may be collaborating with the enemy. I don't dare to do that." Seeing this, Sena Shiyoshi also smiled bitterly, "Madam, what's next?
what to do?"
"We only have a few people, and we can't do anything." Imagawa Kaede glanced at the few people around him, "I guess the crows and the ninjas from the Military Intelligence Department are searching for us all over the city. At this time, we are huge on the streets.
Danger."
"Then should we just wait here?" Yu Qiu Shang was slightly excited, "Chacha is still in their hands."
"That's right, just wait, time is always on our side." Imagawa Kaede turned his eyes and looked through the window into the night, "And after so long, there must be many crows and ninjas from the Military Intelligence Department.
You must know what their superiors want them to do... The structure of the Yuqiu family is different from that of other daimyo families. The subordinates of Amano-sama and Sanada-sama are not their retainers, they are just subordinates, and they do not have to obey their orders."
·
Just as Imagawa Kaede expected, at this time, there were signs of commotion in both the Military Intelligence Division and Crow's teams.
"Sir, can you honestly tell me what this is doing?" Uchiha Aooka was confronting Sanada Masayuki in front of him at this time. "I felt very strange when I first received the news that all information about the Red Leaf Army was to be blocked.
. Now the people of Crow have allowed the Second Young Master and the Oda Army to enter the city, and they have also attacked the castle tower. Is this a coup?"
"That's true." Sanada Masayuki answered honestly, knowing that he could not hide this from an experienced and elite ninja like Uchiha Aooka.
"Is this what we should do... We are a ninja organization founded by the First Master. We fight for the Yuqiu family. How can we help the Oda family to overthrow the Yuqiu family? How can we go to the city to search for the wife now?
Where are you and His Highness?" Uchiha Aooka's words were so intense that the atmosphere around him suddenly became tense. The ninjas and Sanada Masayuki's bodyguards following Uchiha Aooka all put their hands in their arms, seemingly all
Go touch the weapon.
"It is for the sake of the First Master and to protect the Yuqiu family that we must make this choice." Sanada Masayuki turned around and spoke seriously.
He sincerely advised Uchiha Aooka, "You are older than me and have probably seen more families rise and fall than me. A person like the eldest son is not suitable to be a family governor at all. When he was a young master, he acted willfully.
As a result, His Highness was sent to Omi under house arrest. Now he has made the relationship with the Oda Palace so tense as soon as he succeeded the family governor. If he is allowed to continue like this, the relationship between the Yuqiu family and the Oda family will get out of control sooner or later. By that time, it will be too late.
We can only continue the Yuqiu family by supporting the second young master now. The former master certainly doesn’t want to see the Yuqiu family perish, right?"
"The reasons you mentioned are beyond the comprehension of a rough man like me. I just want to say that attacking the castle tower is already a treasonous act. It would be even more impossible for me to search the whole city for my wife and His Highness."
After Uchiha Aooka said these words, he turned around and left, leading his men without looking back. Many people in the ninja team of the Military Intelligence Department were a little shaken when they saw this, and many people quietly followed suit.
Disappeared at his post.
"Sir..." Sanada Masayuki's close followers were a little uneasy when they saw this, and whispered into Sanada Masayuki's ear.
"It's okay, this is inevitable. There are always people who don't support us." Sanada Masayuki seemed to have expected it. He did not show any surprise and just rubbed his palms. "But the ninjas on the city gate and the wall are all reliable.
As long as they are here, no one can even think of sending the news out of the city."
On the other side, in Crow's team, Rokuro Yamai also had a solemn expression. Unlike those in the Military Intelligence Department, Crow's discipline requires subordinates to execute orders unconditionally without any room for rebuttal or inquiry - for those who have been engaged in internal espionage
, agents, infiltration work of the ninja team, such discipline is not worthy of questioning - unless the leader of the crow wants to rebel.
And Rokuro Yamai felt that the situation at this moment had progressed to this first step. Amano Keitoku wanted to make a coup and support Yu Qiuyu to come to power - this was an act of rebellion against the current family governor Yu Qiu Shang. However, it was not written in Crow's discipline
Clearly, what should be done if Amano Keitoku rebels - because the existence of a secret service agency like Crow, with power solely in the hands of Amano Keitoku, is in itself due to Amano Keide's absolute loyalty to Yu Qiuping and Yu Qiuping's loyalty to Yu Qiuping.
Amano Jingtoku's absolute trust. With the passing of Yu Qiuping, the Yu Qiu family's once most reliable hidden weapon became a murderous weapon that threatened him.
"According to the discipline of the organization, you can kill me now."
Walking quickly in the dark alleys with the members of his squadron, Rokuro Yamai didn't even look back, he just said to the subordinates behind him.
"Because I don't want to carry out Lord Amano's orders. I can't attack His Highness and Madam, nor can I go door to door to find their whereabouts."
"Those who want to kill me can do it now." Yamai Rokuro stopped and sighed at the same time. He was at a loss and really didn't know what to do at this moment.
However, after waiting for a long time, there was still no sound of any weapons. He turned around, looked at the silent subordinates behind him, and asked in a low voice: "Aren't you willing to carry out the order?"
A few brave subordinates said "yes", while the rest nodded.
"Then let's leave the team. I don't know how we will be dealt with after that." Rokuro Yamai smiled bitterly twice, then raised his head and looked at the bright moon in the sky, "But let me take action against His Highness and Madam...
I can’t do it no matter what.”
Soon after, inside the temporary headquarters of the coup on the first floor of the castle tower.
"Sir, Master Yamai's squadron has also lost contact. This is already the sixth squadron after nightfall." A ninja reported uneasily to Amano Jingtokui, "Is there really no need to take measures?"
"This is something that can't be helped. It's hard for everyone to understand what we have to do." Amano Keide shook his head unmoved, "I hope
If you want to bear the infamy and protect the Yuqiu family with us, continue to follow. If you don't want to, let them go. Taking action against them now will only make more people in Crow feel dissatisfied."
·
In the dark night, Crow and the ninjas from the Military Intelligence Department launched a large-scale manhunt for Nancheng. However, just as they devoted more manpower to Ninomaru and Sannomaru, something happened inside Honmaru.
In the early morning of June 9, the tenth year of Tensho (1582), the Naoe family's mansion.
"I have finally seen it clearly. You are planning a coup!" Yu Qiucen, who had been observing the second floor of the mansion for a long time, finally figured out the whole story - the castle tower was on fire again, and the Oda family's cavalry was on fire again.
, it’s Crow’s ninja again – this is clearly Amano Keitoku’s attempt to use the power of the Oda family to help Uame Akiyu ascend to power.
"Okay, you have become very capable!" Yu Qiucen looked at the unmoved crows and ninjas from the Military Intelligence Department surrounding the Naoe family's residence, and pointed at his nose and cursed, "My father trusts you so much.
, is it that you are allowed to bully the orphans and widowed mothers after his misfortune? Is it that you are allowed to help outsiders besiege your own castle tower? Are you worthy of my father? Are you worthy of your conscience?"
Looking at Yu Qiucen, who was still wearing white mourning clothes, no matter how hard-hearted the ninjas were, they were still being scolded and could not hold their heads up at this moment.
"Get out of my way, Miss!" Yu Qiucen squeezed out of the crowd in the Naoe family mansion without hesitation, rushed to the door and was about to rush out. Seeing this, the ninjas hurried forward to stop them, but they didn't dare
Is there any rude action?
"Princess, please don't make it difficult for us." The ninjas looked at each other in shock when they saw this, but they could only stand in front of them.
"My purpose is to make things difficult for you, what else can you do to me?" Yu Qiucen rushed in arrogantly, and without any hesitation, he used his neck to hit the kunai in the hands of the ninjas. He was so frightened.
The ninjas retreated continuously.
"You'd better think clearly. Whether my eldest brother retains the title of governor or my second brother becomes the governor, I am the princess of the Yuqiu family. Which one of you dares to touch me?" Yu Qiucen took a deep breath.
In one breath, he shouted to the ninjas again, "Get out of my way, Miss! I won't let you see me die! Let's see how you end up with it then?"
Seeing such a strong princess in front of them, the ninjas who were ordered to surround them were at a loss - but no one gave them permission to hurt the princess. Amano Keitoku and Sanada Masayuki originally thought that Naoe Tadayei and Naoe Nobuhira were not here.
There was nothing to fear in the Naoe family's mansion, so there were no high-level ninjas who could calm the situation. No one could react to this unexpected situation. Yu Qiucen just barged in, and no one was there.
I really dare to take action to stop him.
Just when the ninjas were struggling, they suddenly discovered that two more teams of ninjas were coming to the street. One team was the Military Intelligence Department ninjas led by Uchiha Aooka, and the other was the Crow ninjas led by Yamai Rokuro. These two are both
A big shot, at least higher than all the ninjas at the scene. Several jonins leading the team immediately dared to ask for help, and Uchiha Aooka readily agreed to take over their task of sealing off the Naoe family's residence.
"Isn't this Lord Uchiha?" Although it was dark night, Yu Qiucen still recognized Uchiha Aoka under the torch at a glance, "Why, do you think you dare to stop me?"
"Princess, please calm down." Uchiha Aooka walked slowly in front of Yu Qiucen, and then whispered in an inaudible voice: "Don't make any noise. If you want to escape, please come with us."
After Yu Qiucen hesitated for a moment, he immediately chose to nod his head. Uchiha Aooka didn't say much. After apologizing for his offence, he put Yu Qiucen on his shoulders and fled quickly towards the other side of the street.
The ninjas accompanying Uchiha Aoka and Yamai Rokuro immediately provided cover and fled before the other ninjas could react.
