However, at this time, Ukita Hachiro suddenly struggled violently on his horse, which shocked the Jonin.
"Young Master, what are you doing?"
"Uncle Muto, let's surrender! Hand me over, and then let them let you live, and let the other people in the castle town live too!" Ukita Hachiro stubbornly struggled on the horse, grabbing for the upper hand.
The reins of Ren's horse would not let him go.
"What are you talking about, young master?" The Jonin was shocked when he heard this. Looking at the Red Leaf Cavalry getting closer and closer, he couldn't help but said anxiously, "Stop making trouble!"
"I'm not making trouble, I'm serious. We can't run away anyway, right?" Ukita Hachiro's childish voice was already crying at this moment, but he was still so determined, "Then why do you let so many people do it for me?
A meaningless death? It’s not worth it!”
"Young master, what do you know? You are the hope of the Uki family!" the Jonin shouted anxiously, but he did not dare to be rude to his young master and never regained control of the reins. That is where he was.
During the period of struggle, the red leaf cavalry had surrounded them from all directions - they couldn't escape even if they wanted to. The jounin lowered his head in great frustration and ordered to the surrounding subordinates, "Protect the young master!"
"What protection are you using?" At this moment, Asahina Taihei had already rushed in front of everyone in the Uki family. Hearing the jounin's hoarse roar, he pulled out his sword with disdain, "Suffer death!"
"please wait for a moment!"
At this moment, Ukita Hachiro suddenly shouted and jumped off the horse, raised his hands and stopped in front of the horse. Asahina Taihei was startled, and hurriedly reined in the horse to stop the charge, while the other red leaf cavalry around him were
He quickly surrounded the five people from Yuxi's family.
"I am the Ukita Hachiro you are looking for!" Ukita Hachiro straightened his somewhat thin back, tried to raise his voice to cover up his inner fear, and shouted at Asahina Taihei, "I am the only one you want to arrest!
I'll go with you! Let the others leave! Let those in the castle town leave too!"
"Oh?" Asahina Taihei was delighted when he heard this. He leisurely crossed the reins across the horse and said in an old-fashioned tone that was completely inconsistent with his age, "Why should I listen to you? I don't listen to you.
Yes, what can you do?"
"I...I...I..." Ukita Hachiro was speechless by Asahina Taihei's words and didn't know how to deal with it. He glanced at the dozens of powerful cavalrymen around him, and his thin body trembled even more. He took a deep breath.
, he suddenly took half a step back as if he had made a lot of determination, and suddenly took out a kunai from the Jonin's pocket and put it against his neck.
"I can commit suicide!" Ukita Hachiro yelled at Asahina Taihei, "You want to catch him alive, right? Then if you don't agree to my request, I will commit suicide now!"
"What?" Asahina Taihei was stunned when he heard this, tilted his head and laughed to himself, "I have never seen such a weird request. I'm afraid he is not a fool."
"Young Master, you have done this once before." Mori Ranmaru, who was following Asahina Taihei, said, "I also heard what the old guards said."
"Our young master has done this too?" Asahina Taihei was even more surprised, "Are the young masters in the world just as stupid?"
"How can you say that, young master! Be careful! Asahina-senpai!" Mori Ranmaru made a "shush" gesture to Asahina Yahei, who nodded very perfunctorily.
"Hey, kid." Asahina Taihei pretended to be mature again and shouted to Ukita Hachiro, "It's useless for you to put on that posture. I'm just an ordinary guard. What I say doesn't count. Can you let it go?
Those people only need orders from our Highness, so what's the use of negotiating terms with me?"
"Ah...why is this happening?" Ukita Hachiro obviously did not expect that things would unfold like this. He was a little at a loss for a moment, and he weakly lowered the kunai on his neck.
"Young Master..." Several ninjas looked at each other in shock when they saw this. At this moment, they were neither protecting nor protecting. In front of these dozens of cavalry, they could only be slaughtered.
"Let's do this." Asahina Taihei looked at Ukita Hachiro's immature but determined face with a desperate expression, and couldn't help but said, "Stop resisting, take your people, and follow us back. I will send someone immediately
I went to the castle town of Okayama Castle and informed them that Master Uki has been captured and they can stop their actions. As for whether His Highness is willing to let go of your men, I can’t guarantee it, so I can only leave it to fate. But at least I can ensure that now
They will not be killed."
"Then you can't lie!" Ukita Hachiro seemed to be convinced by Asahina Taihei. After a moment of hesitation, he threw the kunai in his hand on the ground. At the same time, he looked at Asahina Taihei with some suspicion, "What's your name?"
"Asahina Taihei." Asahina Taihei patted his chest, "A man's words are hard to follow."
"Then Uncle Muto..." Ukita Hachiro turned his head again and signaled to the Jōnin. The Jōnin sighed helplessly and nodded. At this point, their plan has been completely guessed by the Yuqiu family, and they can keep the young master.
Their lives are already good, what else can they do?
"Then let's go." Asahina Taihei saw that the escort ninjas of Ukita Hachiro didn't express any meaning, so he pushed the katana in his hand back into the scabbard with a "snap", "Hand over all the weapons and come back with us."
"Boy." Asahina Taihei glanced at Ukita Hachiro with interest and waved to him, "Come here, I will watch you personally."
For the safety of their young master, several ninjas from the Uki family obediently handed over their weapons and were tied up by the Red Leaf Cavalry. Ukita Hachiro walked up to Asahina Yauhei and stretched out his hands, waiting for Asahina Yauhei.
Tie yourself up. Asahina Taihei glanced at Ukita Hachiro's still slender wrist, then looked at the hemp rope in his hand that was almost thicker than his wrist, and couldn't help but chuckle twice.
"There is no need to tie up a boy whose hair has not yet fully grown." Asahina Taihei leaned down on the horse and lifted Ukita Hachiro onto the horse as easily as a hawk catching a chicken, and placed him in front of him, "Sit down honestly.
, just don’t move."
"You look down on me?" Ukita Hachiro protested in a low voice with his lips pursed and dissatisfied.
"What, you still want to be tied up?" Asahina Taihei asked curiously.
Ukita Hachiro glanced at his guarding ninjas, who were all tied up in disgrace. His eyes flickered for a moment, and then he nodded solemnly.
"Well, I have never seen such a request from you." Asahina Taihei shook his head in confusion, then shook the rope, and tied Ukita Hachirou casually a few times without tying a knot.
"This is not tied properly." Ukita Hachiro objected again.
"You kid is so annoying." Asahina Taihei became a little impatient and responded angrily. He randomly wrapped the rope around Ukita Hachiro and made a big tie. Then he tightened the rope with both hands.
Ukita Hachiro was shaken by the strangulation, and he tried his best to keep his mouth closed and not moan. Asahina Taihei glanced at the thin figure, his thick eyebrows wrinkled, he loosened the rope slightly, and then tied a few bows.
.
"Are you satisfied?" Asahina Taihei patted the dust on his hands and glanced at Ukita Hachiro.
"Thank you." Ukita Hachiro replied very forcefully, and then turned away, not talking to Asahina Taihei. Asahina Taihei was too lazy to pay attention to him, and led the cavalry all the way back to Amakiuhei's camp at Shimotsui Castle.
·
When Asahina Taihei returned to the camp, it was already dark, and he happened to meet Yu Qiupei and the guards with torches patrolling the camp and walking around to the gate of the camp.
"Your Highness, it's done!" Asahina Taihei immediately waved excitedly after seeing Amakihei, and then patted Ukita Hachiro in front of him carelessly, "The young master of the Uki family is here!"
"Ah?" Yu Qiuping looked at it in the light of the fire and couldn't help but be startled, "Does a half-year-old child deserve to be tied up like this?"
"Well, this kid asked for it on his own, it's none of my business." Asahina Taihei shrugged, then grabbed Ukita Hachiro and got off his horse. Ukita Hachiro heard him calling him a kid and glared at him dissatisfied, but Asahina Taihei did.
Putting on a arrogant look, he handed Ukita Hachiro to the ninjas of the Military Intelligence Department, "The mission is completed, it is none of my business now. Can you go back to sleep, Your Highness?"
"Go on, thank you for your hard work. Matsuchiyo did a good job this time." Yu Qiuping smiled and encouraged him, and then arranged for people from the Military Intelligence Department to take Ukita Hachiro and a group of captured ninjas away for interrogation.
However, Asahina Taihei slowly stopped after taking a few steps, turned his head and watched Ukita Hachiro being escorted step by step by the people from the Uqiu family's Military Intelligence Department to a place where the firelight could not shine.
"What's wrong?" Yu Qiupei noticed something unusual about Asahina Taihei.
"It's nothing." Asahina Taihei was stunned for a moment when asked, and then quickly shook his head.
"It's okay, just go back to sleep." Yu Qiuping walked a few steps, and from the corner of his eye, he saw Asahina Taihei still stunned, and he had already guessed something in his mind, "Why aren't you going?"
"Ah..." Asahina Taihei scratched his head in embarrassment, then led the horse and trotted all the way to Yu Qiupei's side, scratching his head in embarrassment.
"Want to plead for the young master of the Yuxi family?" Yu Qiuping asked in a low voice with a smile.
"Well..." Asahina Taihei lowered his head in embarrassment. After thinking for a moment, he replied confidently, "After all, he is still a thin boy. If he is tortured or something...if he doesn't hold on and dies, then we will suffer a big loss."
Really! This is the young master of the Yuxi family! He is still very valuable!"
"Oh? Why don't you usually use your brain? Why do you think so fast only when you are making excuses?" Yu Qiuping laughed and taunted a few words. Asahina Taihei's thoughts were seen through, and he immediately blushed and hesitated.
To explain.
"It's okay, don't worry, we won't torture a child." Yu Qiuping patted Asahina Taihei's shoulder and watched the latter breathe a sigh of relief, "Besides, what can be found out from a half-year-old child?
?”
"Yeah, that kid doesn't understand anything at first glance." Asahina Taihei immediately agreed.
