On the deserted street, the autumn wind blew up the fallen leaves and scattered them in all directions. There was only one person, Hanzhu, who was banging his wooden clapper and shouting in his unique spy drake voice: "Noon, noon is here. Noon..."
Suddenly, the door of Seibei's store opened wide, and more than fifty vicious gangsters poured out of the stronghold and lined up on the street. This formation was so frightening that Hansuke felt as if he was being strangled by the neck in an instant, and he put away his clasp.
He hid in a corner, fearing that the gangsters would chop him several times in the chaos.
"Quick, come in, you all, want to take advantage of the chaos to escape? It's not that easy!" In the brothel, Ah Ling was furious, holding a wooden stick and hitting the group of prostitutes on their heads and faces, and drove them into a dark room like animals.
Inside the house. "I spent so much money and so much effort to get you here. Want to escape? Come in!"
Ronin Sanjuro looked at everything downstairs and remained silent. "Come and help!" One of the four heavenly kings of Kiyohei came upstairs and urged.
On the street, Qing Bingwei led all his men to wait in line. When he saw Ronin going out, he immediately drew his knife and shouted: "Follow him and kill all Chou Yin and his gang. This town belongs to us! Kill!"
Because Kazuyo Sorayama killed more than a dozen people in one breath, several more died in the fierce battles in the past few days. To make matters worse, the ronin just killed three people in a row. In fact, they were two people plus one who had a broken arm, but
With Chou Yin's cruelty, how could he leave useless people to treat his injuries? After he was carried into the store, he ordered his silly brother Haizhiji to quietly silence the howling tattooed gangster.
So now Chou Yin is at his weakest moment. All his men are only in their early twenties, and he is no match for Qing Bingwei in a head-on fight. So he has already issued a strict order that no one is allowed to go out anymore, and he can only guard the door tightly to prevent the opponent from attacking.
Let Ronin Sanjuro walk in the front, and Seibei led everyone to follow behind aggressively, vowing to eliminate Chou Yin in one fell swoop today no matter what.
Everyone in the town was peeking at the team from behind the windows, feeling like "it's finally over" in their hearts. With such a huge disparity in military strength, and Qing Bingwei having to rely on reinforcements, no one expected Chou Yin to survive today.
At this time, Sorayama Kazuyo was already drunk on the tatami of the tavern. When he heard the gangster drawing his knife and shouting, he opened his eyes almost instantly, and the smell of alcohol in his body was completely eliminated by the sword intent rising into the sky.
However, when he didn't notice the murderous intention directed at him, he yawned widely, turned over and continued to sleep. But if you observe carefully, the capillaries on one of his ears are bulging.
In this state, Ichiyo Sorayama will not miss any details in the fight.
"Chou Yin! Today is your day of death! If you and your stupid pig brother come out and take the initiative to die, I, Qing Bingwei, hereby promise that I will not touch your wives, concubines, and children."
"Bah! If you have the guts to attack, you are as timid as a mouse and you are not worthy of being the leader of the town!"
"Hahahaha! In this case, Chou Yin, you are dead today! Hey, the people working for Chou Yin inside, listen, if you surrender now, I will give you double the amount Chou Yin will give you, and I will send you out of town as a gift.
, Otherwise, you will definitely die today! Don’t be so stupid and be taken advantage of by this guy Chou Yin!”
"Baga! Shameless! Don't be deceived by Qing Bingwei..." Chou Yin's furious voice came from the inn, and then there was a sound of tables and chairs turning over, and after a few short screams, he gradually recovered.
calm.
Kiyobei was overjoyed, knowing that his words had an effect, and there must be internal strife among them!
How could he give up such a good opportunity? Just when he was about to shout and order all the troops to attack, Ronin Sanjuro suddenly walked away from everyone and said to Kiyobei: "You go, I won't go, lest I win.
You kill me." Then he took out the gold in his arms and threw it at Qing Bingwei's feet, "I'll pay you back."
With that, he shouted towards Chou Yin's inn: "Hey, Chou Yin, Qing Bingwei is unethical and wants to kill me and take away the commission after winning. I fell out with him." He turned around and left without hesitation.
The morale of the Kiyobei side that had reached its peak suddenly dropped by more than half. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. The ronin made a fuss at the critical moment, and no one wanted to be the first to rush to kill them. "Damn it, back down from the battle!" said the female leader A Suzu.
He shouted at Ronin's back: "Coward! Shameless! Bastard!"
Chou Yin in the inn was overjoyed and shouted loudly: "Everyone heard it! Qing Bingwei's own people are ashamed to be with him. If he is allowed to rush in, he will definitely kill everyone! If you don't want to die, just hold on. Who can
If he dares to run away, he will suffer the consequences!" "Ha!" Everyone in the building agreed, and their morale began to rise again.
Since then, Ronin's plan has been perfectly realized!
If he hadn't betrayed him in battle, Chou Yin would have died today! Qing Bingwei would not have lost many men, which would have failed to achieve his goal of killing as many people as possible on both sides of the gangsters.
If he makes a fuss like this, even if Qing Bingwei can kill all Chou Yin's gang, he will be exhausted and suffer heavy casualties. But he can clean up all the remaining gangsters and finally make the town clean.
These two groups have now reached the point where they have to fight for their lives. If things continue like this, maybe this story will end as Ronin expected.
But nine times out of ten things in the world are unsatisfactory.
Just as the ronin climbed up to the highest wooden clock tower in the town and prepared to watch the battle with a smile, a fast horse galloped from outside the town. The knight on the horse rushed to the gangster and shouted: "Hurry, sir, sir is here!"
Kiyobei was shocked and frustrated at the same time.
No matter how much he hates Chou Yin, he must not blatantly fight in front of the chiefs who come from the city at this time! You must know that the current era is not the troubled times of the Warring States Period. Whether it is the shogunate or the feudal town, the laws and regulations clearly state: murder is punishable by death!
Although a samurai can draw a sword and kill someone if they disagree, and most likely he will not be held accountable, but he is a superior samurai! And no matter how powerful his power is in this town, he is just a humble commoner in the eyes of the adults. Usually, he is just a humble civilian.
It doesn't matter how much they fight each other. Even if those adults have vaguely heard about it, they don't bother to care about the lives of the civilians in these remote towns.
However, a fight in front of the superior will definitely be regarded as a deliberate provocation of the majesty of the superior, and troops will be sent to exterminate them. At that time, no matter who wins or loses, they will inevitably die.
Qingbingwei was so angry that he gritted his teeth and said word by word to the inn: "Chouyin! Good luck to you!" Chouyin was ecstatic in his heart, but he was not to be outdone: "Hahaha, Qingbingwei, I won't take your life after the master leaves.
!”
"Hide all the wanted criminals for me. Hurry up and ask the store to open the door. Clean up the bloody stumps. If you want to pretend that the whole town is peaceful, go quickly." A Ling ordered sharply.
All the gangsters breathed a sigh of relief and dispersed in a crowd, patting the street shops one after another. "Open a shop and pretend nothing happened. Remember, shut up when you need to!" After a period of smog, the town immediately regained some vitality.
It seems that I have become accustomed to all this.
Ronin looked at this scene dumbfounded. He got down from the clock tower with some dejection and dragged his feet into the town's tavern. At this time, he just wanted to have a drink with Sorayama Kazuyo and tell his depression...
