Chapter 319 The death fight with Nanman Zhu!

Kyoto, Nijo Castle.

Shenshan, who was sitting in the sedan chair, opened the window on the side, stuck his head out through the open window, and looked forward.

Ahead is the only entrance and exit between Nijo Castle and the outside world - Higashi Otemon.

Nijo Castle served as the headquarters of the Edo shogunate in Kyoto, and its structure was a "city within a city".

Not only is there a tall city wall built around Nijo Castle, but there is also a wide moat built outside the city wall.

Nijo Castle, surrounded by walls and moats, has only one entrance and exit - Higashi-Otemon located to the east.

The reason why the only entrance and exit of Nijo Castle should be located on the east side is to make the main entrance of Nijo Castle face the direction of Edo Castle.

However, Nijo Castle was only the residence of the shogunate after all, not a fortress castle specially used to defend against foreign enemies. Therefore, in order to demonstrate the financial resources and authority of the shogunate, Higashi Otemon was built as the only entrance and exit of Nijo Castle and was very gorgeous.

The copper door pillars of the Higashita Gate are all covered with beautiful gold foil, which reflects dazzling light under the candlelight.

After looking forward, Kamiyama saw a young man wearing black standing on the left and right sides of Higashi Otemon.

After the Kamiyama sedan approached the Higashi Otemon gate, these two young men in black immediately ran over and asked who was coming.

"Principal of Kyoto Town, Kamiyama Koshinosuke." Kamiyama announced his name in a calm tone.

After some inspections, it was confirmed that the person sitting in the sedan chair was indeed the Kyoto mayor himself, and one of the two young men bowed respectfully towards the sacred mountain.

"Lord Kailash, please allow us to inspect your sedan chair."

Shenshan nodded slightly.

The young man opened the sedan door and cast his gaze into the sedan. His eyebrows could not help but raise slightly in surprise.

Inside the sedan chair was not only the sacred mountain, but also a woman and a young girl.

Although this sedan is quite spacious, it is still a bit crowded with three people sitting in it.

"Lord Shenshan, may I ask who these two people are...?"

"My family members." Shenshan said, "Family members are allowed to be brought to tonight's banquet. You should know this, right?"

"Of course I know." After nodding lightly, the young man roughly inspected the inside of the sedan.

After confirming that there was nothing unusual in the sedan chair, the young man lowered the sedan door again, took two steps back, and saluted respectfully toward the sacred mountain.

"Lord Shenshan, please enter the city!"

Kamiyama did not immediately order the sedan bearers to take him into Nijo Castle.

Instead, he first looked up and down several times at the two young men in black who were guarding the Toda Gate.

"...Are you two ninjas from Shiranui?" Kamiyama asked.

"Exactly."

Long before, Kamiyama had heard about the cooperation between the shogunate and Shiranui.

As soon as he cooperated with the shogunate, Shiranui received a big task from the shogunate - to guard Nijo Castle when Lord Tokugawa Munemu of the Owari Domain held a banquet in Nijo Castle.

"Are you two the only ones guarding the gate?" Shenshan asked.

"Two people are enough." The ninja who just checked the Kamiyama sedan chuckled a few times, "This is Nijo Castle. Who in the world dares to enter Nijo Castle to steal things or attack Nijo Castle? So sending two people to guard Nijo Castle is enough.

!”

Kamiyama was noncommittal about what this ninja said.

To a certain extent, the task assigned to Shiranui by the shogunate was extremely easy.

Nijo Castle is considered the safest place in Japan.

Nijo Castle is the symbol of power of the shogunate.

No one in the world would dare to do anything to Nijo Castle, be it a criminal thief or a vicious destructor.

The last time Nijo Castle was attacked was more than 200 years ago when Mitsuhide Akechi launched the "Honnoji Incident" in the 10th year of Tensho.

The mutinous Akechi Mitsuhide commanded the army to besiege Nijo Castle, and besieged and killed Oda Nobutada, the eldest son of Oda Nobunaga, who was trapped in Nijo Castle.

After learning that the shogunate had assigned the task of guarding Nijo Castle to Shiranui Ri, Kamiyama saw what the shogunate planned to do: the shogunate planned to let Shiranui Ri mix seniority and merit.

Shiranui Ri had just reached a cooperation with the shogunate not long ago, and he needed enough achievements to convince those who were prejudiced against ninjas or who were not optimistic about this cooperation.

As for guarding Nijo Castle, a task that is both easy and meaningful, it is very suitable for Shiranui to mix up his qualifications and achievements.

After casually saying "Thank you for your hard work" and "Keep up the hard work", Shenshan lowered the window of the sedan chair and signaled the people carrying the sedan chair to set off.

After the sedan passed through Higashi Otemon and entered Nijo Castle smoothly, Kamiyama lowered his voice and said to the woman sitting in front of him:

"Mrs. Inaba, Miss Inaba, later... I'll leave it to you two!"

Although there was a faint look of fear on their faces, Inaba's wife and daughter still nodded firmly.





Kyoto, Sanoji Street.

"Quick! Kill him!"

"Form a human wall! Form a human wall!"

The enemies wearing Nanman garb also realized that this guy who suddenly shot out from the ceiling was no simple thing, so they hurriedly reorganized their formation.

After forming a dense human wall connecting from the left side of the corridor to the right side of the corridor, this human wall made a "clicking" sound that was enough to make people feel teeth ache.

Come quickly.

Ogata seemed not to notice the wall of people rushing straight towards him, and remained calm.

[Ding! Use "Breath of Source" to temporarily increase reflex nerves by 5 points and improve concentration]

[Current reflex nerve value: 14 points]

[Increased concentration]

While slowly adjusting his breathing to the "breath of the source", Ogata looked beyond the human wall in front of him and looked behind the human wall.

To be precise - he looked at the guy who was giving orders to the others and hiding behind the wall of people.

"Is that guy the general of this group of people..." After muttering like this, Ogata shook the feathers on his body and quickly walked towards the wall of people in front of him.

When he was about to collide with this human wall, Ogata stepped forward suddenly and then jumped up.

After jumping into the air, Ogata used the shoulder of an enemy under him as a stepping stone, stepped on the enemy's shoulder and jumped directly to the back of the human wall.

There were only 9 people forming the human wall, and the thin human wall allowed Ogata to easily jump over it.

After jumping over the human wall and landing with both feet, Ogata didn't make any pause. He rushed towards the general hiding behind the human wall!

Unexpectedly, Ogata would jump directly over the human wall and go straight to the main formation. The general of the group hurriedly raised the knife in his hand and stabbed Ogata in the chest.

As soon as the knife was thrust out, the general felt his eyes blurred - Ogata, who was still in front of him, ducked to his side.

Then, a huge force came from the back of his head - Ogata grabbed his head with his left hand, pulled his head back, used jujitsu skills to throw the general to the ground, and then waved his big sword

It wears its chin, which is not protected by armor.

Jiu-jitsu was originally a fighting art that was born on the ancient battlefield and used "softness to overcome strength".

Throw the armor on the ground to subdue the enemy, and then use wakizashi or kaitong to attack parts of the enemy's body that cannot be protected by the armor.

"There are...9 more..."

After taking back Dai Zizai, Ogata looked coldly at the remaining nine people who hurriedly rushed to defend.

Ogata took the main formation and beheaded their commander - the remaining nine people began to panic.

clang!

After using his great freedom to block the attack of the person at the front, Ogata dodged, rushed behind the person, and slashed at the person's back knee with his sword.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--!"

As a shrill scream rang out, the man who was struck in the back knee by Ogata knelt down on one knee with pain on his face.

Ogata didn't just use jujitsu to kill them with one blow.

When you are unable to kill the enemy with one blow, you should seize the opportunity to attack the rest of the enemy's body that is not protected by armor and can be easily cut to restrict the enemy's movement, such as the back knees.

Not only will the threat of the guy who was slashed on the back knee be greatly reduced, but the screams he will make will further damage the morale of other people who are still alive.

When the commander had been killed by Ogata and his morale had dropped greatly, the remaining nine enemies wearing Nanban trousers were also killed by Ogata one by one.





[Ding! Use Shiranui-ryu ninjutsu and Shiranui-ryu jujutsu to defeat the enemy]

[Acquire 130 personal experience points, 125 experience points for the ninjutsu "Shiranui-ryu Ninjutsu", and 20 experience points for the swordsmanship "Mugo-ryu Ninjutsu"]

[Current personal level of Shiranui-style jujutsu level: Wuga-ryu style level: Ding! When the experience value is full, the level of Shiranui-style jujutsu level increases by 1, and you gain 2 skill points]

[Currently remaining skill points: 4 points]

Because of the use of skills such as Breath of the Source and Step Step, Wuwo Sword Style can also gain a little experience, but unfortunately the experience gained is not much.

After pulling out the enemy's chin from his arms and laying the enemy flat on the ground, Ogata smoothed out his slightly messy breathing while raising his eyes to look at the two remaining enemies.

Because the venue was not spacious and the battle was quite fierce, Ogata did not have the energy to dodge or block the blood splattered from the enemy's wounds in the previous battle.

So at this moment, Ogata's black hakama, light green haori, dark blue kimono underneath the haori, and face were all splattered with blood.

A person with blood splattered on his body looks directly at you like this. Some people may feel unafraid, but the last two enemies obviously do not have such a character.

After being caught by Ogata's gaze, the last two enemies let out screams full of fear, then turned around and ran away desperately.

It's a pity that before these two people could escape a few steps, two people stopped in front of them.

These two people are naturally Makimura and Hasegawa.

Makimura does not know how to use jujitsu like Ogata.

But he has one thing - brute strength.

Makimura shouted loudly, threw aside the Odachi in his hand, opened his arms, hugged the enemy in front of him around the waist in a bear hug, and then used brute force to directly throw the enemy in his arms to the ground.

After knocking the enemy in his arms so hard that stars appeared in his eyes, Makimura took out a sword he carried with him and penetrated the enemy's chin.

Hasegawa does not have the skilled jujitsu skills like Ogata, nor does he have the brute strength like Makimura.

So he chose the strategy that was most suitable for him to deal with enemies wearing heavy armor. Just now, when Ogata was fighting this group of heavily armored enemies alone, Hasegawa, who didn't want to just sit back and watch Ogata fight alone, quietly left the place.

Go down the corridor to find suitable and handy weapons.

Then Hasegawa found a hammer.

This is a hammer whose total length is about half the length of an adult's arm. The hammer head is already rusty, but it can still be used. The wooden hammer handle is still solid. You don't have to worry about the hammer handle breaking halfway through the swing.

Case.

"Get out of my way!"

Under the influence of the desire to survive, the enemy in front of Hasegawa roared at the top of his lungs and swung his sword towards Hasegawa in front of him.

Hasegawa took a deep breath, saw the enemy's sword path clearly, and turned his body to one side to avoid the blow.

While dodging sideways, Hasegawa swung the hammer in his hand and accurately hit the enemy's chest, knocking the enemy to the ground.

After hammering the enemy down, Hasegawa immediately rode on the fallen enemy and hammered the enemy on the head...





"Damn it! Damn it!"

Although the bald man who stayed on the third floor did not witness the battle downstairs with his own eyes.

But Baldhead has always been able to judge the current battle situation downstairs based on the constant sounds coming from downstairs.

After hearing the screams from the people downstairs, and then gradually no more screams, the look on the bald face became more and more ugly.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

After yelling a few more curses, the bald head hurriedly ran towards the window not far away.

At this moment, he couldn't care about anything else.

There is only one thought left in his mind now: His life is at stake! Run away quickly!

However - as soon as he opened the window of the room, he didn't even see the scenery outside the window clearly, and then his eyes were blurred - someone rushed in through the opened window.

"Well……!"

The bald man felt his mouth being covered by a small hand.

Then his legs seemed to have been struck by some powerful whip, his center of gravity was broken, and he fell heavily to the ground.

There was a close contact between his back and the tatami at his feet. It was not until he fell to the ground that the bald head finally saw who the person who just rushed into the room and knocked him down was—a beautiful woman in a yukata.

woman.

"I caught you~~ You look like you're not a gangster at first glance. It looks like I caught a big fish."

After saying that, the woman smiled slyly at the bald head.

Ordinary people may think this woman is cute after seeing the smile on her face.

But at this moment, in the eyes of the bald man, he only felt that this woman was extremely terrifying.

The bald man opened his mouth, and when he was about to say something, the woman suddenly stretched out her fingers and inserted them into his mouth, which he had just opened:

"It seems that there is no poison hidden in your teeth... That's great. This will save me a lot of trouble."

After saying that, the woman withdrew her fingers from the bald head's mouth, and then stuffed a piece of dirty and smelly cloth picked up from nowhere into the bald head's mouth, so that the bald head couldn't even say a word.
