Chapter 650 Imprisonment of Isshiki Flower and Betrayal of Ogata 【5400】
The awakening of the memory before coma, the scene in front of him, and the question of the void monk in front of him made Zhizhou's face change slightly.
Before Zhizhou could say anything, Ru Shui, who was tied next to Zhizhou, shouted:
"Who are you?! What do you mean by what you just said?! Where is Xiaohua? Has Xiaohua been arrested by you too?! Where is she now?!"
Like water, he spewed out a large number of questions in one breath.
Ru Shui's exposed skin was all green and purple. Especially his face, the left half of his face was swollen.
Due to his old age, Zhizhou's current strength is not as good as his son's.
As the strongest member of the Isshiki family, Rusui naturally withstood the most intense fire in the previous battle.
Before being knocked down, he was attacked by seven men in black in one breath. The injuries on his body were proof of the intensity of the battle he had just endured.
As soon as Ru Shui's questioning voice fell, Wu Luo, the monk of nothingness, tilted his head and faced Ru Shui.
Then, he rushed to Ru Shui with a quick stride, and hit Ru Shui's already swollen left face with a flying kick.
"Hmm~~" Lou Luo hummed happily, "Your posture... is really suitable for being kicked."
Zhizhou, Rushui, and Ashi were all tied to pillars in a sitting position, so Lou Luo only had to lift his foot to kick them in the head.
The kick he just made was so powerful that it made a muffled sound.
Zhizhou saw a bloody tooth being kicked out of Ru Shui's mouth, and streaks of light red liquid mixed with blood and saliva dripped from the corners of Ru Shui's mouth.
Ash's screams and Ru Shui's cries of pain sounded at the same time.
"You don't need to know who we are." Lou Luo slowly put down the leg he kicked out just now, "At the same time, you don't have any right to ask us any questions."
"The kick just now was a small warning."
"If I keep speaking out randomly, it won't be as simple as kicking one of your teeth out."
"But I'm in a good mood tonight, so I'll kindly take care of your love for my daughter and answer the question you just asked."
"That's right, your daughter Isshikika was also captured by us."
"You are so awesome that you actually built a tunnel in your house."
"Your daughter is also very powerful. She can run so fast with bare feet."
"She almost ran to the prison, but fortunately my men finally captured her."
"When I knocked your daughter unconscious and captured her, my men accidentally struck too hard, so your daughter is now being treated in another place."
"But you don't have to worry. Your daughter's life is not in danger. She will probably wake up by tomorrow morning."
Although Lou Luo said "you don't have to worry", his words were pure nonsense.
After hearing what Lou Luo said just now, Zhizhou, Rushui, and Ashi could not remain indifferent. Their faces all lost color at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Where is Xiao Hua injured?!" Ash, who was eager to protect her, struggled to break away from the chains trapped on her body and shouted, "Please let me go and see her!"
"Hey, didn't you hear what I just said?" Lou Luo glanced at Ashi coldly, "You have no right to ask questions to us."
"I miss you because you are a woman, I will spare you this once."
"Next time you talk too much without my permission, I will not only teach you a lesson, but I will also punish your husband and make your husband lose a few more teeth."
Lou Luo's words made Ash's beauty pale.
Although she was extremely worried about Isshikika, Ash could only hold back this worry, bit her lower lip and stopped making any sound.
At this time, Lou Luo slowly turned his gaze back to Zhi Zhou.
"So - let's go back to our original question."
"Answer me: Where in Osaka does Ogata Ittousai live now?"
Zhizhou looked at Lou Luo with astonished eyes, and then at his son and daughter-in-law.
His head was spinning rapidly.
A question was solved - he knew why these people suddenly attacked their Isshiki home.
Came for Ogata.
However, one question was solved, and more questions emerged——
Who are these people?
Looking for Master Ittousai, what do you want?
…
One question after another ran through Zhi Zhou's mind.
What concerned Naoshu the most was undoubtedly how these people knew that he was connected to Ogata.
——I have never told anyone: Goro Majima is Issei Ogata.
——According to Xiaohua’s temperament, she will never talk about this matter everywhere!
——Then...when, where, and how did these people learn that I knew Lord Ittosai?
——Is it possible... that someone can accurately recognize Ittousai-sama at a glance, even if he is facing ittousai-sama who has covered his face...
Zhizhou was still thinking hard when Lou Luo's voice sounded again:
"Don't waste your energy thinking about unnecessary things."
Lou Luo seemed to have seen through Zhizhou's thoughts.
"We have no enmity or enmity against you. It is purely because of your own faults and your friendship with that Shura that you have ended up like this."
"I have always been too lazy to raise the butcher's knife for people who have no grudge against us and who have not worked for the Edo shogunate."
"So - as long as you answer my questions obediently, I can let your family be fine."
"Otherwise... as I just said: I will let my subordinates use your daughter-in-law and granddaughter to relax in front of you."
Although Lou Luo was wearing a "canopy hat" that covered his entire head, Zhi Zhou could still feel the cold sight from the few gaps through which the wearer could see.
"...How could I possibly know about that Ogata Ittosai?"
Zhizhou said in a low voice.
"I never knew Ogata Ittousai."
"...You don't know Ogata Ittousai?" Lou Luo asked back.
"I don't know him." Zhizhou shook his head vigorously, "I don't know him at all!"
"Is that so...don't you know Ogata Ittousai?" Lou Luo looked at Rushui and Ashi, "What about you two? Don't you two know Ogata Ittousai too?"
Ru Shui and A Shi shook their heads quickly.
"I don't know him! Did you arrest the wrong person? We never knew him!" Ru Shui shouted.
Ash hurriedly echoed from the side.
Unlike Naoshu who kept telling lies, Rusui and Asami really didn't know Ogata, and they didn't know that Majima Goro was Ogata Issei.
"Don't you all know Ogata Ittosai..." Lou Luo murmured, "I think so - you all should know him."
"I just accidentally forgot about it and couldn't remember it."
"Let me help you wake up your memory."
After finishing speaking, Lou Luo turned to look at the strong man behind him.
"Seitaro Ito, didn't you just tell me that you like a woman full of mature charm like Miss Isshiki Minoru?"
"Give you a chance and allow you to enjoy this maturity."
Lou Luo's words immediately made the eyes of the strong man known as "Seitaro Ito" shine with joy.
"Can, is it okay?!" Ito asked in a cautious tone.
"Please, please wait a moment!" His face turned pale and he said urgently, "We really don't know Ogata Ittousai! It's even more impossible to know where that person lives!"
Lou Luo ignored Ru Shui's shouting and turned to look at the other subordinates behind him: "You guys should also have fun with Seitaro."
His words were like letting go of the shackles of a hungry wolf.
The group of people, headed by Seitaro Ito, slowly walked toward Ash while grinning ferociously.
Ash screamed in horror and shouted with Rusui, repeating "We really don't know Ogata Ittousai".
Zhizhou's face... is now filled with fear.
He looked at the strong men getting closer and closer to his daughter-in-law, and the hesitation in his eyes grew exponentially.
The torture of Zhi Zhou's soul is not over yet.
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah--!"
His son's screams suddenly reached Zhizhou's ears.
"How? Have the mental and physical pain revived your memory due to stimulation? According to my memories over the years, no matter who has suffered severe enough pain, many of them were originally shouting, 'Nothing like this at all.
All the memories of what happened will be revived."
Lou Luo said this in a joking tone while holding a knife without a blade and drawing pictures on Ru Shui's face.
He first made a horizontal cut on Ru Shui's forehead.
Immediately afterwards, another slash was made vertically, from Ru Shui's left forehead to the left corner of his mouth.
Lou Luo's incision is very shallow, and as long as it is treated well, there will be no scars.
Although the wound was very shallow, the pain could not be taken lightly.
Rusui, who really didn't know Ogata, was already using a pleading tone, repeating the words "We really don't know Ogata Ittousai" for an unknown number of times.
The constant screams of his son that reached his ears had already brought Zhizhou's psychological defense to the verge of collapse.
The next sound that Zhizhou heard made Zhizhou's psychological defense completely collapse.
He heard...the sound of clothes being torn apart.
The two legs of the daughter-in-law Asami were controlled by two people respectively. Seitaro Ito squatted in front of Asami and cut the hem of Asami's clothes with a wakizhi.
The sight in front of him, as well as the sounds that reached his ears that Zhizhou couldn't bear to hear anymore, made Zhizhou finally close his eyes in pain.
"Enough, enough!"
His lips, which had turned purple at some point, were trembling.
Lou Luo glanced at Zhi Zhou.
Then he stopped drawing on Ru Shui's face, and raised his hand to signal Ito Seitaro and others to stop.
Facing Lou Luo's order, Ito Seitaro very obediently stopped what he was doing.
"It seems that someone's memory has been successfully revived." Lou Luo said in a joking tone.
Zhizhou lowered his head, and his trembling lips made his voice tremble.
"I... admit that I know Ogata Ittousai..."
"But I really don't know where he lives!"
Zhizhou suddenly raised his head and looked directly at Lou Luo with pleading eyes.
"I promise you with my life! I really don't know where he lives!"
"I beg you, please be noble and let my family go."
After saying that, Zhizhou lowered his head again, as if he wanted to kowtow to Lou Luo.
But because his body was tied to a wooden post, he failed to hit his forehead on the ground.
Lou Luo: "..."
Lou Luo, who still held the knife upside down in his hand, remained silent.
Zhizhou, who was waiting patiently for Lou Luo to speak, felt that one second seemed as long as a year.
Lou Luo did not keep Zhi Zhou waiting for too long.
Zhizhou only waited "10 years" before he heard Lou Luo say:
"...Then do you know Ogata's whereabouts after Ittousai?"
Zhizhou: "Huh?"
"Do you know where Ogata Ittosai will go after it? Or rather - you will definitely go somewhere after Ogata Ittosai?"
Lou Luo walked slowly to Zhizhou and squatted down so that he was at eye level with Zhizhou.
"For example: Ogata Ittousai will definitely appear at what time and where."
Lou Luo suddenly came closer to him, and Zhi Zhou could clearly see - behind this "canopy hat", there were two cold eyes like poisonous snakes.
"this……"
Lou Luo's question just now made Zhizhou's eyes flicker, and hesitation emerged from his eyes again.
"By the way - don't make any nonsense."
Lou Luo added.
"If I find out later that you are just talking nonsense to deceive me...then the punishment you will receive will not only be painting on your son's face, but also using your daughter-in-law and granddaughter as your substitute.
It’s a tool for my subordinates to relax.”
These words made the hesitation on Zhizhou's face thicker, and at the same time, there was also a lot of pain.
Zhi Zhou lowered his head again and remained silent for a long time.
Zhizhou was not in a hurry and waited silently for Zhizhou's answer.
Zhizhou gritted his teeth and remained silent for an unknown long time——
——Lord Ittosai... I'm sorry... After everyone in the family is safe... I promise you! I will definitely commit seppuku!
After a few invisible tears fell in my heart, the trembling voice sounded again in the dark room.
"One, Lord Ittosai's sword was seriously damaged, so a while ago, he sent his sword to a friend of mine for repair."
"The time agreed upon by Ittousai-sama and my friend to retrieve the sword is..."
…
…
Lou Luo hummed a small tune and slowly walked out of the small room where Zhizhou and others were imprisoned.
Naozu and the others were imprisoned in a very remote abandoned hut in Osaka. This kind of place is truly a place where "no one will come to save you even if you shout at your throat."
As soon as Lou Luo stepped out of the hut, a petite figure quickly greeted Lou Luo - a woman with extremely beautiful appearance and outstanding temperament.
"Sir Lou Luo." As soon as she arrived in front of Lou Luo, the beautiful woman knelt down on one knee and said respectfully, "Issekihana has not been found yet."
"You haven't found Isshikika yet?" Lou Luo's brows were hidden under the "Tengai bamboo hat", "Hey, hey, hey, looking for people... hasn't it always been the strength of you Iga ninjas?"
"I'm extremely sorry, it's because I am incompetent." The beautiful woman lowered her head and did not make any refutation of Lou Luo's complaint just now.
What Lou Luo just said to Zhizhou and others about "using your daughter-in-law and granddaughter as tools for relaxation" was actually completely deceiving them.
Lou Luo and the others didn't catch Isshikika at all.
After learning that Isshikika had escaped along the secret passage at home, Lou Luo immediately sent a large number of Iga ninjas to pursue her.
Lou Luo originally thought that asking these elite Iga ninjas to capture a girl without even wearing shoes would be a simple matter.
But who would have expected that the Isshiki flower has not been captured even now.
"Our people have been ambushing around the prison." The beautiful woman then added, "If Isshikika is found near the Osaka Prison, we will capture her immediately."
"...Although the thing I want to ask has already been asked by her grandfather. But according to the information, the relationship between Isshikika and Ogata Ittousai is very good. The two of them were talking and laughing about the 'big test match'
"Yes." Lou Luo said seriously, "That Isshikika might have some other information related to Ogata Ittousai."
"Hurry up and get that Isshikihua back to me." Lou Luo ordered in a noncommittal voice.
"Yes!" the beautiful woman shouted "yes".
After issuing strict orders to the beautiful woman, Lou Luo waved his hand, indicating that she could leave.
After the beautiful woman left, Lou Luo turned his head and said to Ito Seitaro and others who were following him: "Haosheng, take good care of Isshiki Naoshu and others. Before confirming that Ogata Ittosai is dead, no one of them can be released."
Get out of here alone."
Seitaro Ito: "Yes."
"Also - unless they disobey the supervision, you are not allowed to do anything rude to them. It is also not allowed to touch that Isshiki's body."
Ito Seitaro's expression suddenly fell: "Can't you even...touch that Isshiki Minoru's face and hands?"
"I promised them that as long as they answer my questions honestly, I won't do anything to them. The thing I hate the most is going back on my word."
"Yes..." Ito Seitaro looked like he had lost his soul.
Lou Luo waved his hands towards them: "Okay, you go back to the house and take good care of Isshiki Naoshu and the others."
"yes……"
Seitaro Ito led the people back into the house.
He was the only one left around Lou Luo.
"...God is really helping me wait." Lou Luo raised his head, looked at the starry sky above his head, and said slowly in a voice that only he could hear clearly, "The day when Ogata Ittosai went to get the sword... and we started
The day of the Osaka Spring Formation... turned out to be the same day..."
…
…
This beautiful woman who had just reported the progress of the mission to Lou Luo was now traveling in a remote corner of Osaka.
As she walked forward slowly, she looked around with alert eyes to see if anyone was following her.
Slowly moving forward in this extremely cautious manner, she finally came to the door of an inconspicuous wooden house.
"Mother-in-law." The beautiful woman patted the door, "It's me."
As soon as she finished speaking, a very old woman with a stooped body slowly opened the door.
"You're back." The old woman said.
"Well. How is that woman doing?" the beautiful woman asked.
"I slept soundly."
The beautiful woman took off the straw sandals on her feet and walked quickly into the depths of the hut.
After turning into a certain room in this house, a white figure came into the eyes of the beautiful woman.
This white figure is exactly a flower of one color.
At this time, the white bathrobe on her body had been neatly arranged.
Although she and her family members were imprisoned in different places, their situations were surprisingly similar - tied to a wooden post.
However, Naozu and the others were tied roughly with chains, while Isshikika was tied with thin ropes, and the way they were tied was much gentler.
It was a coincidence - as soon as the beautiful woman arrived at the room where Isshiki Ka was being held, she saw Isshiki Ka's eyelids moving.
Then, Isshikihua slowly opened her beautiful eyes.
After waking up, Isshikika first looked around with confused eyes.
Immediately afterwards, the confusion turned into astonishment, and he stared blankly at the beautiful woman in front of him.
"Miss Chuguang...?" With her mouth tied, she muttered the name.
