"My lord, my lord, something is wrong!" The attendant who was sent as an envoy ran back to the head of Nancheng in disgrace, and shouted loudly when he was still far away from Takenaka Shigeharu: "That guy Ryuuki Saito refused.
Negotiate! He said he wanted to kill His Highness Yuqiu!"
Everyone was in an uproar when they heard this, and Takenaka Shigeharu also stood up. Several attendants standing beside him looked at his expression and were stunned for a moment. This was the first time that their master had shown his face after following them for so many years.
Panic expression.
At the moment when the man was stunned, Imagawa Kaede said nothing, drew the knife in his hand and rushed straight towards the direction of the dungeon, followed closely by Honda Tadakatsu and Ryuko. Maeda Toshiie and Ikeda Tsuneki
After understanding the situation, he immediately rushed over with several of his samurai. Takenaka Shigeharu also entrusted the task of coordinating and commanding the forces of the four wealthy families to Haizuka Koroku, and he and his attendants also followed without saying a word.
He rushed towards the prison.
At this time, inside the prison.
"Qingxin, you take a few people to kill Yu Qiuping," Saito Ryuuxing cursed in a low voice, "cut off his head and brought him back, and chopped his body into pieces, and then followed
Get on the team!"
"Yes!" The samurai who was called Qingxin saluted and took the order to leave, heading straight to the dungeon. Saito Ryuuki took his flag and hurriedly evacuated towards the north gate that was still under his control, intending to escape from Daodao.
Hayama Castle. After leaving the city, he planned to find a way to command the army to defeat Ando Mamoru first, and then wait for the 3,000 troops that went to Nishi Mino to come back for reinforcements and recapture Inabayama Castle in one fell swoop.
·
At this time, Yu Qiuping, who was in the dungeon, also noticed what seemed to be happening outside.
Although the jailers were of low status, it was naturally impossible for them to participate in such a core plan as the Saito family. However, the whole city was under martial law starting from the evening today, and all the jailers who were supposed to go home from shift were stuck in the dungeon. Jiro once quietly
He went up to take a look, but was driven back underground by the warriors on the first floor of the prison, asking them to take a good look at Yu Qiuping.
At first, Yu Qiuping thought that he was facing a formidable enemy because tomorrow was the time to execute him. But later, he discovered that something was wrong. Because from a small skylight in the dungeon, he could see the faint sight of Inabayama Castle.
There were flashes of fire, and there were noisy shouts and rapid footsteps.
"There is chaos in the city." This was Yu Qiuping's immediate judgment. At the same time, he also began to plan an escape plan. These jailers were very good to him and would not shackle him when no one came to check.
He had a chance to escape.
However, before he could think of any solution, a series of rapid footsteps came from the door of the dungeon. Immediately afterwards, the iron door of the dungeon was pushed open, and several fully armed warriors exuded murderous intent and strode forward.
Walking toward Yu Qiuping.
"My lord," Jiro looked unkind and bowed hurriedly and asked, "what orders do you have?"
"There are no instructions," Qingxin pushed away the guards who were half blocking him and sneered, "My lord asked me to execute Yu Qiuping and cut him into pieces!"
As soon as Qingxin's words came out of his mouth, Yu Qiuping realized that something was wrong. In the blink of an eye, he immediately put the untied handcuffs on his hands, pretending to be handcuffed.
The remaining samurai stood at the gate, while Keishin walked to the door of Yu Qiupei's room and asked Youemon to open Yu Qiupei's cell. Youemon looked at Qingxin's half-inch unsheathed penis, his eyes were red, and he twisted.
Coyly unwilling to do so, the angry Keishin kicked Youemon to the ground, took the key from his hand, and opened the door of Yu Qiupei's prison.
"I'm sorry, Yuqiu Hongye," Qingxin slowly drew his sword out of its sheath, "The people who came to save you will be here soon. Sir, I am still in a hurry to retreat. If you have any last words, please tell me quickly."
Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Did someone come to save me? Did someone come to save me during the chaos in the city? He brought a few people to the cell to kill me on the spot. This may mean that the chaos was so serious that the Saito family could no longer take care of me, so they had to stop by.
Send some people to kill me.
In that case...
"Hurry up and tell me what your last words are." Qingxin raised the knife too high and urged impatiently, "I will convey your last words to the Yuqiu family."
"No one wants something like this to happen." Yu Qiuping shook his head pretending to be regretful.
"My last words are, even if a person is about to die, never underestimate him, let alone leak important information to him."
As soon as Yu Qiuping finished speaking, he suddenly jumped up and slammed the shackles in his hands towards Qingxin's face. Qingxin was caught off guard and was hit hard in the face by the iron shackles, causing blood to flow all over his face.
Before he could react, Yu Qiuping rushed at him again with the shackles and smashed them down on his head and face.
However, Qingxin was also a battle-hardened warrior. After trying to protect his face with his hands, he kicked Yu Qiuping away and hit the iron fence hard. He stood up like a carp,
He picked up the knife on the ground and slashed at Yu Qiuping. Yu Qiuping originally wanted to pick up the ribs under the straw, but it was too late at this moment, so he had to duck and rush forward, hold Qingxin's knife handle, and block him.
The blow. The two men wrestled in the narrow corridor in the middle of the cell, fighting for control of the blade.
"Why are you still standing there! Come and help!" Qingxin saw that Yu Qiuping was very strong and could not defeat him in a hurry. If he delayed for too long, he would not have time to retreat. So he pulled his neck and faced him.
Several of his stunned companions and a dozen jailers shouted: "Why don't you come and help!"
"What did you do!" A samurai hurriedly drew a knife in his hand, roared at the jailer, and pushed towards Yu Qiuping, "Why are the people not cuffed! What does this mean?"
"You guys just wait, I will punish you with death later!" Another samurai slapped Jiro who was standing aside hard, "You can't cuff anyone, so what's the use of you!"
The corridor was narrow, and three of the samurai who came with Qingxin were blocked outside. Only one came in with a knife to help Qingxin. Yu Qiuping saw the man getting closer and closer, and knew in his heart that he was probably going to confess here. At the critical moment
, he glanced at the red-eyed jailers around him, and suddenly felt a little moved.
"Jiro, Iemon!" Ame Qiupei shouted, "You should leave quickly! They will punish you with death later!"
"There's chaos outside now, and someone has come to save me! Run out, these warriors can't catch up with you!" Yu Qiuping watched the other warrior getting closer and closer, and couldn't help but speak faster: "Those papers at the door that I folded
Hongye, all of you should wear them in conspicuous places on your body! If you are my people, you will know that you are friendly forces when you see these!"
The warrior had already squeezed in beside Yu Qiuping, drew his sword in his hand, and struck Yu Qiuping with one blow.
"Run!" Yu Qiuping closed his eyes and shouted at the top of his lungs.
·
However, the knife did not cut on Yu Qiuping's body. A moment later, sharp metal collisions and violent sounds rang in his ears. Yu Qiuping opened his eyes blankly, and saw Jiro getting up at some point.
, holding a piece of paper red leaf in his mouth, he suddenly threw the samurai against the iron fence on the side.
"I won't run!" Jiro shouted vaguely, holding Hongye in his mouth: "His Royal Highness Hongye is a good person! I won't let these bastards kill His Highness Hongye!"
A dozen other jailers seemed to have just woken up from a dream and rushed forward. Keishin, who was shaking with Yu Qiupei, was hugged by Youemon and fell to the ground. Yu Qiupei grabbed the knife from his hand and stabbed him with his backhand.
He killed him and then killed the samurai who was jumped by Jiro.
At this time, the three warriors at the door were also caught off guard. They did not expect that a dozen jailers who were in good condition would suddenly rebel! They were beaten to a pulp by random punches at first, but after they reacted, the jailers were no longer powerful soldiers.
They were their opponents. Two or three jailers were kicked over one after another and slashed to the ground. They were about to be hacked to death by them with knives in their hands.
At the critical moment, Yu Qiuping hurriedly felt it. He slashed continuously, briefly forcing the three warriors back a few steps, and immediately asked the remaining guards to drag the injured three people back to the room in the narrow corridor. Then Yu Qiuping and
He retreated and retreated into the corridor, letting Jiro stand beside him with a knife, while the remaining jailers without weapons hid behind them. Although the three samurai were far more powerful than Yu Qiupei and Jiro, the corridor was narrow at the moment.
They couldn't do anything when they rushed in, so they had no choice but to block the door.
"Damn it, we can't drag it out like this!" A warrior cursed in a deep voice, "We won't have time to retreat later!"
"But if we can't bring back Yu Qiuping's level, the lord will definitely kill us!" Another warrior said worriedly.
"Then fight them!" The first warrior snorted again, "I have thick armor anyway, so I'm not afraid! I'll be the first to rush in, and you guys come with me!"
Yu Qiuping took a deep breath and understood that the decisive battle was coming. The samurai was wearing fine equipment, which was difficult to penetrate with Yu Qiuping's sword skills. He had to find a way to hit his unprotected face to have a chance!
·
At this critical moment, another series of hurried footsteps sounded at the door. Before Yu Qiuping and the three samurai could react, they saw Imagawa Kaede rushing into the dungeon, and with a sharp knife,
The three warriors were immediately chopped down. Imagawa Kaede glanced at Yu Qiuping and saw the Saito family jailer holding a knife next to Yu Qiuping. Without saying a word, she stood up and stabbed Jiro.
Jiro panicked and screamed all of a sudden. The red leaves that were originally held in his mouth were blown out. Imagawa Kaede was stunned for a moment, realized that it seemed to be a friendly force, and she sheathed the knife suddenly, but her body was directly moved due to inertia.
He bumped into Yu Qiuping's arms. Yu Qiuping looked at Imagawa Kaede in his arms with some disbelief, but found that the latter also raised his head and looked at him with disbelieving eyes.
Before Yu Qiuping asked, "Why are you here," Imagawa Feng's eyes were suddenly filled with tears. She tried hard to hold back the first sob, but the cry still came out of her mouth disobediently.
. She hugged Yu Qiuping and buried her head in Yu Qiuping's arms, crying loudly.
"I thought it was too late... I was scared..." Imagawa Kaede whispered in a sobbing voice, her body shaking uncontrollably, "I'm so scared..."
"Silly girl, what are you afraid of?" Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment and suddenly smiled. At this moment, he was suddenly not so anxious to ask why Imagawa Feng came, not anxious to understand the current situation, not anxious
Hurry and escape from this dangerous place of right and wrong.
He just wanted to comfort the crying girl in his arms.
"Didn't I promise you that I would protect you all my life?" Yu Qiuping chuckled, but tears welled up from his eyes. He gently hugged Imagawa Kaede, patted her back, and let her gradually
The ground quieted down.
