Osaka, somewhere——

Yoshiemon leaned against a big tree behind him and sat cross-legged by the root of the tree.

"The sound of naval guns..." He looked in the direction of Osaka Port, "Have Huluwan and Rihuimaru come..."

"Ha... just two warships have the power to raze a coastal city to the ground. I really understand why England can dominate the ocean..."

After expressing his emotions in a joking tone, Yoshiemon took out a small knife that was only as long as an adult's palm from his pocket, and then made a move that might make many people extremely puzzled—he swung the knife The tip touched the palm, making a long cut in the left palm.

Scarlet blood immediately flowed out from the wound on the palm.

But it was only for a short while before the blood stopped.

After the blood stopped, it took a little while before the wounds appeared red shreds of meat like earthworms.

The shreds of meat were entangled and coagulated, and in the blink of an eye, this long and thin wound disappeared.

Left and right gate grasped the recovered palms several times, and then raised his hands to touch his throat and left chest that were pierced by Ogata just now.

"The recovery speed of the wound has slowed down by at least 20%... Those two strikes by Shura just now really put a heavy burden on the body..."

"Compared to Toyotomi-sama, I'm still far behind..."

After letting out a soft sigh, Saemon leaned on the big naginata stuck in the ground beside him, and slowly stood up. .

"Master Saeemon!"

When Yoshiemon was patting the dust sticking to his buttocks, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Iga Nannin who was walking towards him quickly.

"Master Jijiu has an order—"

After hearing the name "Yoshihisa", Saeemon quickly straightened his expression and stood up straight, ready to listen to the order from this Iga male ninja.

"Traces of Ogata Ittosai or his accomplices were found in the suburbs near the northwest corner of Osaka."

The man communicated in concise sentences without any nonsense.

"I am ordering all groups except the 9th, 12th, 13th, and 15th groups to rush to the northwest corner of Osaka immediately."

"Huh? Northwest corner?"

Yoshiemon was startled, then turned his head to look northwest of him.

"...Isn't that very close to us?"

A somewhat ferocious smile appeared on Saeemon's face.

...

...

Osaka, somewhere——

"Leave in this direction." Chu Guang said calmly to a woman in front of him who was holding a baby in her arms and whose face was dusted by the thick smoke, "This direction is not affected by the fire, so it is safer. Leave quickly Come on, be careful, don't get trapped by the collapsed house again."

"Yes, yes!" The woman holding the baby bowed to Chuguang frequently and sobbed, "Thank you very much! Thank you very much!"

The woman was weeping with gratitude, but the little baby in her arms was very calm.

He didn't cry or fuss, and even yawned big, casting a curious look at Chuguang with his big black eyes.

Chuguang lowered his head and looked at the little baby.

A smile slowly appeared on the originally expressionless face.

She raised her hand to touch the little baby's face, and then returned to the original expressionless look.

"Let's go."

After saying that, Chu Guang ignored the woman and the baby in her arms, jumped onto the roof next to her, and then jumped into the night.

Chuguang's agile and dancing figure on the roofs of the houses added a bit of gorgeous color to the street scene of Osaka where there are only flames and dead silence.

She jumped onto the roof of a tea house with a height of 3 floors in one breath, and then stopped.

On the roof of this teahouse, someone has long been waiting for Chuguang's return.

"Miss Chuguang." Shibata, who had been waiting for Chuguang just now, hurried up to greet him, "How is your side?"

"Successfully rescued a mother and daughter. What about you?"

"I don't have any trapped people there." After that, Shibata scratched his hair, "I always feel that our efficiency is a bit low... We have only rescued a dozen trapped people until now."

"After all, there are only two of us. And few people were rescued. From another point of view, it means that not many people were trapped. Well, let's go to that direction next."

"yes……"

"What's the matter? Why do you put on such an expression? Are you tired?"

"No, it's just... I still care about the destroyed Osaka Port..."

At this moment, in the direction where the Osaka Port is located, the flames illuminate most of the sky.

Based on these flames alone, one can roughly imagine what kind of tragedy the current Osaka Port is like.

"It only took a little more than a stick of incense, and the port of Osaka was destroyed like this..." Shibata swallowed with difficulty with a pale face, "This kind of firepower is really terrifying... It feels like the earth is about to be destroyed. Torn."

"...The battleship that destroyed Osaka Port was purchased by Toyotomi Nobuhide from an arms dealer like Smith, with tens of thousands of taels of money, and purchased two third-tier battleships of the English country—Hulumaru and Nichikimaru."

Chuguang said in a calm tone.

"Both of these two warships have 70 guns, including 28 32-pounders, 28 18-pounders, and 14 9-pounders."

"In terms of firepower, any of the Gourd Maru and Nichiki Maru may surpass the Edo Shogunate... No, it is the sum of the artillery firepower owned by the Edo Shogunate plus all the vassal states."

"With such firepower, tearing the Port of Osaka to shreds is easier than tearing paper."

"Compared to this monster... the sword in our hands is no different from embroidery needles..." Shibata sighed.

"...Let's go." Chuguang patted Shibata's shoulder, "Don't think about so many trivial matters."

"Ok……"

Chuguang and Shibata walked towards the eaves not far away one after the other.

But suddenly, Chu Guang's footsteps stopped suddenly, and then he turned his head to look east.

"Miss Chuguang, why..."

Shibata had only had time to say half of the sentence "what's the matter", when he raised his eyebrows when he heard a strange noise coming from the east side, and then turned his head to look towards the east just like Chu Guang did.

I saw a petite figure appearing from a shadow not far from the east, this petite figure used the roof as a foothold, and moved quickly on the roofs of the houses, and jumped to the roof in just a few breaths. Chuguang in front of them.

After seeing who it was, Chu Guang relaxed her tense expression a little.

"It's Ah Jing."

"Ah, Miss Chuguang, so you are here."

This petite figure is named Ah Jing. Among all the Iga ninjas, she is one of the few who has a good relationship with Chuguang.

She has a good relationship with Chuguang, but she doesn't know Shibata very well, and she doesn't even know Shibata's name, so after greeting Chuguang, she only nodded to Shibata who was standing behind Chuguang .

"Ah Jing, you look in a hurry, to whom are you going to pass the order?" Chu Guang asked.

If Chuguang remembers correctly, the tasks that Ah Jing is responsible for tonight are the same as the tasks she was responsible for before, they are all orders.

"I'm here to give you an order." Ah Jing responded in a joking tone.

"Send me an order?"

"To be precise, it is an order to all the ninjas located in the northwest of Osaka."

After finishing speaking, Ah Jing stood up a little bit, and said in a serious tone:

"Master Yoshihisa's orders—Istosai Ogata or his accomplices were found in the suburbs near the northwest corner of Osaka."

"All the ninjas located in the northwest of Osaka are ordered to rush to the northwest corner of Osaka immediately to search for traces of Ogata Ittosai or his accomplices."

As soon as Ah Jing finished speaking, Chu Guang frowned slightly.

She and Shibata happened to be in the northwest area of ​​Osaka right now.

"Did you find Ogata Yidao Zhai?" Shibata was stunned, "Is it true..."

"This information should be reliable." Ah Jing said, "After all, Mr. Jijiu made a big battle."

"Not only are the ninjas located in the northwest area of ​​Osaka required to gather in the suburbs of the northwest corner, but some ninjas are allocated from the formation to the northwest corner of Osaka, so that they can join in the search for Ogata Yidaosai."

"In addition, we also request that all groups except the 9th, 12th, 13th, and 15th groups, which are far away from the northwest of Osaka, immediately gather in the direction where Ogata Ittosai was discovered. "

"Such a big battle..." Shibata was speechless, "It seems that I really discovered Ogata Yidaosai..."

"...It doesn't necessarily mean that we have collected extremely reliable information, but it may also be caused by Master Jijiu's intuition." Chuguang said slowly, "Master Jijiu has always been a very bold and decisive person, as long as a certain piece of information is reliable. More than 50%, he will boldly rely on and use this intelligence."

"A considerable part of the reason why he is deeply trusted by Mr. Toyotomi is also because his decisive, bold and fearless style of acting is very suitable for Mr. Toyotomi's appetite."

Having said that, Chu Guang suddenly fell silent, with a thoughtful look on his face.

After a few breaths, her pleasant voice sounded again:

"Ah Jing, just now you said that Master Yoshihisa allocated some ninjas from the formation to join in the search for Ogata Yidaosai. Is this true?"

"Huh? Why are you asking this?"

"I'm just a little curious." Chuguang said, "As far as I know—Master Jijiu has just allocated some people to join in the search for Ogata Yidaosai."

"I'm one of them."

"And now Master Jijiu has released some of the ninjas from the formation to the northwest corner of Osaka... Mr. Jijiu, he must have transferred people from the 'reserve force', right?"

The reserve force——since tonight, it has been staying at the main formation of the Toyotomi Army, which is the special force of Longshui Temple.

The total number of the unit is 50, all of whom are elite Iga ninjas.

Their duty, as their name: "Reserve Forces" indicates - to act as "universal bricks".

Where there is an emergency and where they are needed, just move them there.

When they are not needed to go to a certain place for support, they stay in the field and defend the field.

"Chuguang, you guessed it right." Ah Jing nodded, "Master Jijiu has drawn half of the men from the reserve force."

"Now this group of reserve troops who have been drawn out should have almost reached the northwest corner of Osaka."

"Even the reserve troops have been mobilized... Heh, it seems that the northwest corner of Osaka will be very lively... Ah Jing, thank you for your order. Shibata and I will immediately fulfill the order and rush to the northwest corner of Osaka immediately .”

"Yeah. I wish you good luck. I'm going to get on with it too. Sigh... to convey a new order to all the ninjas located in the northwest of Osaka, 'go to the northwest corner to search for Ogata Ittosai'... just thinking about it , I feel tired..."

Ah Jing complained softly about the heavy tasks that were currently on her shoulders, while quickly leaving in front of Chu Guang and the others.

Chuguang stood where he was, watching Ah Jing leave.

After Ah Jing's figure disappeared from the field of vision, Chuguang slowly turned around and looked directly into Shibata's eyes.

"Shibata, the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity has finally appeared."

"Huh? What a good opportunity?"

"It's a great opportunity to send both Ji Jiu and Mrs. Luo out of the 'Three Devils' to the west at the same time."

Chuguang spoke in a low voice, word by word.

"As long as Yoshihisa and Raofu are sent to the west, only Yoshiemon will be left in the lieutenant general of the 'Three Demons', and that bastard Toyotomi Nobuhide will lose two important arms!"

...

...

Osaka, Ryusuji Temple——

"Master Jijiu! This is my newly brewed tea! Would you like a cup?"

The abbot of Longshui Temple...or the "former abbot" Qingcheng, with a smile as warm as the sun on his face, shook a purple sand pot full of tea in his hand towards Ji Jiu in front of him.

"...Then give me a drink."

Yoshihisa has always disliked Kiyosumi.

And the reason for hating him is also very simple - Kiyosumi is quite obsessed with Xiangdao. Always use his special incense to make himself "scented".

His incense not only has a special taste, but also has a strong lasting power, and it is also very "infectious". As long as you have a close contact with Qingcheng, your body will be infected with this special fragrance.

Jijiu has always been insensitive to Xiangdao and the kind of man who likes to make himself delicious, so he even respected Qingcheng at a distance.

But although Yoshihisa hated Kiyoto, he never showed his dislike for Kiyosumi.

He has always treated Kiyosumi with the utmost respect, both in public and in private.

Kiyosumi's seniority in Toyotomi's army was much older than Yoshihisa's, and he was considered to be the first group of people to follow Toyotomi Nobuhide.

He was originally a very normal monk.

Chanting scriptures and worshiping Buddha every day, he was promoted step by step from an ordinary monk of Longshui Temple to the abbot of Longshui Temple.

Although the career is going smoothly, Qingcheng always feels that there seems to be something lacking in himself...I feel that there is an inexplicable sense of emptiness in my heart...

Until one day, he accidentally killed a chick that flew into his room.

The Buddhism practiced in Longshui Temple is the Vinaya sect in Buddhism.

Among all the sects of Buddhism, Luzong has the strictest precepts. Killing is an undoubted precept in Vinaya.

Qingcheng, who accidentally broke the precept, felt extremely terrified and uneasy.

However, while feeling panic and uneasiness, Qingcheng actually felt a strange... sense of comfort in his heart.

As a monk, he felt happy after killing a living thing—this kind of thing is against the moral character of a monk no matter how you look at it. So Qingcheng never dared to tell anyone about this time.

Not long after this accident of "accidentally killing a bird", Kiyosumi met Nobuhide Toyotomi by chance.

Toyotomi Nobuhide's conversation and the spirit of "seeing all mountains and small things at a glance" deeply attracted Kiyosumi, and it didn't take long for Kiyosumi and Toyotomi Nobuhide to become close friends who talked about everything.

After becoming a close friend with Toyotomi Nobuhide, Kiyosumi finally summoned up the courage to tell outsiders and his close friend for the first time that he "felt happy after accidentally killing a bird, and I felt very happy." Shame".

After quietly listening to Kiyosumi's story with a smile, Toyotomi Nobuhide said to him in a gentle tone:

"Qingcheng, don't feel annoyed and ashamed. You just found your true self. This is a very rare thing, because many people don't know what their true self is like until they die. Don't go against your true self. Try to embrace who you really are."

Facing himself who committed such a big taboo, Toyotomi Nobuhide actually said to him, "You did nothing wrong."

At that time, Kiyosumi felt a sense of being redeemed.

Since then, Kiyosumi has talked with Toyotomi Nobuhide more and more frequently, and has become more and more attracted by Toyotomi Nobuhide's remarks of "accepting the true self".

In the end, under the guidance and help of Toyotomi Nobuhide, Kiyosumi no longer hides his true thoughts in his heart.

He is determined to accept the true self-the self who likes blood and violence.

It was also after that that Kiyosumi became a member of Toyotomi's army.

On the surface, he is still the abbot of Longshui Temple, but in fact he is a spy of the Toyotomi Army. Using his status as a "respected old monk", he has collected a lot of high-value information for the Toyotomi Army. It was also thanks to Kiyosumi's assistance tonight that they were able to "clean up" Longshui Temple into the main line of their Toyotomi army very smoothly.

Therefore, even without talking about seniority, Yoshihisa had to look at Kiyosumi differently and treat him politely in terms of Kiyosumi's contributions and hard work for the Toyotomi Army.

Jijiu took the tea that Qingcheng had poured for him, and before he had time to take a sip, he heard the sound of "bang bang bang" stomping on the wooden corridor outside the room door.

Just hearing the footsteps, Ji Jiu knew who was coming.

He sighed softly, and put the teacup aside.

Just as the teacup was placed, with a bang, the door was roughly opened.

"Jijiu! My old lady heard about it! I found Ogata Yidaosai in the northwest corner of Osaka!"

"Let my old lady participate in the crusade against Ogata Yidao Zhai!"

Lady Luo was still dressed in a coquettish and oiran-like attire.

However, compared to just now, there are two more things on Mrs. Lao's body - two blue and gold knives, one long and one short, on her left waist.

Ji Jiu raised his eyes and glanced at Mrs. Lao, then moved his eyes and winked at Qingcheng next to him.

Instantly comprehending what Ji Jiu meant, Qing Cheng shrugged his shoulders, and then walked out of the room quickly, holding his purple sand pot full of tea.

After Qingcheng left the room, only Jijiu and Lao Furen were left in the room, Jijiu stood up with his hands behind his back.

"Lao Fu, your current task remains unchanged, just wait for me."

"why?!"

Several blue veins burst out on the woman's neck.

"Because this is a reasonable judgment I made based on the current situation." Ji Jiu said slowly, "You are not suitable for participating in that kind of 'group task'."

"Once your emotions are up, you will hack regardless of whether you are the enemy or yourself."

"So far, no fewer than fifty people have been accidentally injured by you in battle."

"I asked you to participate in the encirclement and suppression of Ogata Yidaosai. I'm afraid that when Ogata Yidaosai dies, many of our people will be hacked to death by you."

"So——keep waiting for me."

"When will there be a task suitable for you, I will naturally send you..."

Boom!

It exploded like a thunderous sound.

It was the sound of the brandy woman slamming the floor beneath her feet.

Lao FuRen flashed to Ji Jiu at a speed as if she was teleporting.

bass!

With a fierce look in her eyes, she pulled out the Wakizawa from her left waist.

Ji Jiu narrowed his eyes slightly, and then pulled out a wakizaru hanging from his back waist.

laugh!

laugh!

2 sounds of sharp weapons entering the body sounded at the same time.

The woman's knife pierced Jijiu's left shoulder socket.

Jijiu's knife pierced through the right belly of the woman.

Both of them were stabbed, and the blood flowed all over the ground, but both of them acted as if nothing happened.

"You old ninja! Is the commander still addicted?! Ah?!"

The appearance of Mrs. Luo at this time is particularly terrifying.

His eyes were wide open as if the corners of his eyes would burst at any moment, and veins like earthworms burst out from his neck. I'm afraid that the legendary evil spirits such as Rakshasa and Prajna are nothing more than that.

"I can't help it." Ji Jiu's tone was still unhurried, "After all, Master Toyotomi gave me the right to issue orders."

Mr. Toyotomi's words seemed to have some kind of magical power, which made the woman who was in a state of madness now have a bit of reason in her eyes.

"Tsk...Damn it!!"

Mrs. Lao uttered obscenities in a roaring tone, and then pulled out the knife that had been pierced into Ji Jiu's body.

And after Mrs. Lao put away her knife, Ji Jiu also took back the knife that had been pierced into Mrs. Lao's body.

After the two sides withdrew their knives, a strange scene played out on the two of them at the same time - red flesh-colored roots emerged from the wounds of the two, and in the blink of an eye, the wounds on the two of them healed without even a trace can not see.

"You old man! Remember it! We're not finished!!"

The old woman walked out of the room with an angry look on her face.

Ji Jiu put the saber back into its sheath, while watching the back of Mrs. Lao leaving.

"...Lao Furen, please be safe. If you stay here, if you stay for a while, maybe some...interesting things will happen."

"Ah?" Mrs. Lao stopped, turned her head and cast an impatient look at Ji Jiu, "What do you mean?"

"Where should I start..." Ji Jiu raised his hand and stroked the gray goatee on his chin, his eyes were downcast, and there was a complicated look in them.

...

...

Osaka, somewhere in the northwest suburb——

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Isshiki swallowed her throat, moistening her dry throat due to panting. After the saliva slid down the esophagus into her stomach, she felt the taste of blood coming out of her mouth.

"I'm sorry... I'm heavy..." Ogata, who was supported by Isshikika, smiled apologetically at her.

"No." Yishihua shook her head, "You are much lighter than I imagined."

After saying that, Isshiki raised her hand and touched Ogata's forehead.

"...Master Yidao Zhai, your body temperature is getting higher and higher..."

Isshiki slowly put away the hand that touched Ogata's forehead with worry on her face.

Just now, Yishihua almost suspected that what she touched was not a human forehead, but a piece of red-hot iron...

Since just now, Isshika has vaguely felt that Ogata's body temperature seems to be getting higher and higher, but now, she finally dares to conclude that this is indeed the case.

"When I get to a safe place, I'll try to find a doctor for you..." Yishihua said.

She didn't know what was going on with Ogata's current physical condition, but she felt that it must be right to take Ogata to see a doctor.

"Ha..." Ogata let out a self-deprecating laugh, "The doctor... probably can't cure me now... and this place... probably can't find a doctor..."

"Is it my illusion... I think Master Yidaosai's face seems to be uglier than before, and the tone of your speech is also more weak..."

"If I told you 'I'm fine'... you probably wouldn't believe it..." Ogata tried to roll his tongue, and let out a joking laugh.

Just like what Isshiki said just now - Ogata's current physical condition is indeed worse than when he was hiding in the Buddhist hall just now.

Just now, Ogata could barely speak, and he could still hear his voice clearly.

But now, speaking has become an extremely strenuous task for Ogata, and there is a strong tinnitus in his ears, so now Ogata has to concentrate all his energy to hear Isshika's voice clearly.

"...Master Yidao Zhai, please bear with me." Isshika took a deep breath, and lifted up Ogata's left arm on her neck, "I will go to the place immediately when I get to a safe place." Find a doctor for you."

"Maybe we can find a doctor who can cure you."

Although Isshiki tried her best to conceal it, Ogata could still vaguely detect the strong uneasiness and worry in her pupils.

Seeing the unease and worry in Isshiki's pupils, Ogata smiled slightly.

"Miss Isshiki, don't worry."

"I'll be fine, let alone die."

Ogata slowly raised his eyes, looking at the road ahead and the skyline ahead.

Even if the state is already so bad that you can't even walk steadily.

Even now it is difficult to speak.

But Ogata's eyes did not change from the beginning to the end.

In the pupils of the eyes, there was always a flame-like light burning.

"Even if I suffer inhuman pain... I will never bow to death..."

It was like responding to what Ogata said just now.

The large purple skin on Ogata's left neck changed again.

They seem to be alive, and the area has shrunk by a large circle again...

...

...

Osaka, Ryusuji Temple——

——Very good... It seems that the strength of the troops here has indeed become extremely empty...

Chu Guang, who was hiding somewhere in the shadow of a beam in the temple, nodded slightly with satisfaction.

——Then the next step is to win or lose in one fell swoop!

Chu Guang took a deep breath, then walked cautiously along the beams under his feet towards the depths of the temple...

For Chuguang, who was staying at Longshui Temple as a "herald" not long ago, she naturally knew the composition of Longshui Temple...that is, the permanent personnel of the Toyotomi Army's main formation.

Yoshihisa, the frontline general commander of the "Osaka Spring Battle and Operation Suo", and one of the "Three Devils".

A woman who is one of the "Three Devils".

A reserve force of 50 elite Iga ninjas with high mobility. When the people in the reserve force are on standby, they are also responsible for safeguarding the security of the formation.

The "Honjin Defense Team" is composed of more than 30 Iga ninjas.

A "herald unit" composed of more than 30 Iga ninjas.

Plus some wounded who were sent back to the front for treatment.

There are no musketeers stationed in this formation, and all musketeers are dispatched outside to carry out the combat mission of "Osaka Spring Battle and Operation Discussion".

The above is the composition of all the permanent personnel of the Toyotomi Army's main formation.

Chu Guang not only knew the composition of the resident personnel in the formation, but she also knew the distribution of the guard posts.

——There is no way around here...

Chuguang, who was crouching on the beam, frowned slightly, and looked at the male ninja who was also crouching on the beam in front of him, with his back turned to her.

--no solution anymore……

Chuguang sighed silently in his heart, and then walked towards the ninja in front of him with silent steps.

Get close and break his neck——Chuguang's movements are done in one go.

The ninja who was standing guard here didn't know that there was an extra person behind him until his neck was twisted.

After Chuguang arranged the dead body of the ninja so that it would not fall off the beam, he continued to move forward.

Longshui Temple is not full of beams that are convenient for people to move.

After going forward for a short distance, Chuguang had no choice but to jump off the beam and jump back to the ground.

——It's time to test your acting skills...

After Chu Guang said so in his heart, he took a deep breath, and then strode forward with a calm expression that could not see anything unusual.

As soon as she turned a corner, she saw two patrolling ninjas walking towards her.

"Huh? Chuguang? Why are you here? I remember you were sent to search for Shura?" one of the two people asked.

"I have something to ask Mr. Jijiu, so I'll come back for a while." Chu Guang lied without blinking.

"oh, I see."

After asking Chuguang this question, the two ninjas stopped pestering Chuguang and passed Chuguang.

And after passing by these two people, Chu Guang sighed silently in his heart, thanking them for not pestering her too much.

In this way, Chuguang arrived at her destination without any risk - a door that was constantly wafting out a strong smell of gunpowder.

Outside the door of this room is now guarded by a full 4 ninjas.

With such a tight defense, it was naturally impossible for Chuguang to break through.

She looked around and after confirming that there were no outsiders around, she jumped onto the ceiling above her head.

Silent footwork - this is one of Chuguang's best skills.

However, even though he was very confident in his silent footwork, after jumping up to the ceiling, the palms of Chu Guang's hands were still sweating uncontrollably.

——But... don't find me...

After softly uttering this prayer in her heart without any object of prayer, Chuguang walked along the ceiling to the room guarded by 4 ninjas with her silent steps.

As he walked, he counted down the distance between himself and that room in his heart.

— 19 steps... 18 steps... 17 steps...

——3 steps...2 steps...1 step...arrived...

Chuguang opened a small gap in the ceiling under his feet, and inspected the room below through this small gap.

After confirming that there were no outsiders in the room below, she expanded the small gap into a large gap large enough to allow her to enter and exit at will, and then jumped off the ceiling along it.

As soon as it fell to the ground under the ceiling, the strong smell of gunpowder made Chuguang almost cough.

——Finally... successfully sneaked into this warehouse where weapons and ammunition are stored...

Chu Guang looked around with a relieved expression—the room she was currently in was filled with wooden boxes or barrels, large or small.

These wooden barrels all contain the same thing - gunpowder!

——Okay... Hurry up and blow up the main formation of Toyotomi's army to the sky!

...

...

Back in time to just now——

"Send Jijiu and Mrs. Lao to heaven?" Shibata stared so hard that his eyes almost fell out of his sockets, "Miss Chuguang, are you serious?"

At this time, Shibata changed into a dignified and low tone.

"Miss Hatsumitsu, you should know better than me... Yoshihisa, Laifu, Zaemon Youemon and Zaemon, the three of them who are collectively called the 'Three Devils', all have the 'extreme A cut-resistant body'ah...how can I send Ji Jiu and Lao Fu to heaven at the same time?"

"Of course I know that Jijiu and Lao Furen are difficult to deal with." Chuguang nodded, "Shibata, listen to me carefully."

"Did you hear what A Jing said just now? Jijiu mobilized half of the reserve force and asked them to join the search for Ogata."

"In this way, the troops staying in the formation will be weakened a lot in one go."

"The strength of the troops staying behind has been weakened-this gives us a chance to sneak in smoothly."

"A series of battles tonight will rely on artillery and flintlock guns."

"So in a certain room deep in Longshui Temple, there are a large number of guns and ammunition prepared for tonight's battle."

"Shibata, just imagine—if you detonate all the gunpowder stored in that room, what kind of scene would it be like?"

Shibata's eyes froze: "Miss Chuguang... Do you want to blow up Jijiu and Mrs. Lao?"

Chu Guang nodded lightly: "If all the gunpowder in that room is detonated, the entire Longshui Temple will be blown up to the sky."

"Even Jijiu and Lao Fu will die after suffering such a large injury."

"In this way, both Ji Jiu and Lao Fu can be killed at the same time."

The more Chu Guang said, the more excited the look on his face became.

"Just now, when I was still working as a 'herald soldier', I thought about this wonderful plan."

"But because the 'heralds' can only stay in a few fixed places and cannot move around, their movements are severely restricted. In addition, the defense is too tight, so this plan has to be abandoned."

"This kind of opportunity allows Ji Jiu and Lao Fu to return to the West at the same time. If you miss this time, there may be no next time."

"Miss Chu, Chuguang, please wait a moment." Shibata said anxiously, "Although your plan sounds wonderful, it feels too dangerous."

"Although half of the reserve troops have been transferred from the formation, there are still many people staying in the formation."

"Even if you successfully sneak into the room where the weapons and ammunition are stored, and then successfully ignite the gunpowder stored there, how can you escape?"

"One is not good, maybe it will be bombed to the sky along with Longshui Temple."

"No, no, this plan is too dangerous, I don't agree."

Shibata sang against Chuguang with sincere words.

Although his companion ruthlessly refuted his plan without thinking, there was no anger or dissatisfaction on Chuguang's face.

She only looked at Shibata with calm eyes.

"... Shibata, do you still remember the vow we made together?"

Shibata was stunned for a moment, then said immediately without hesitation:

"The two of us will work together to bring down the Toyotomi Group internally."

Hearing Shibata's answer, Chuguang smiled slightly:

"Bring down the Toyotomi Group safely and smoothly all the way - Shibata, do you think this kind of thing is possible?"

Shibata: "..."

When Shibata lowered his head and was silent, Hatsuko continued.

"Since we are determined to bring down the Toyotomi Group from within, it is naturally impossible not to take any risks."

"Risk often represents opportunity."

"If this plan is successful, we will be able to cut off Toyotomi Nobuhide's two arms in one go, causing the Toyotomi Group to suffer huge damage that cannot be recovered in a short period of time."

"Of course I also know that this plan is dangerous, and I might die."

"But in the face of such huge benefits, I am willing to take this risk."

Shibata: "..."

Shibata, who slowly raised his gaze, met Hatsuko's eyes.

The firm light in Chu Guang's eyes, like a beam of sunlight that can melt ice, slowly "dissolves" the chaos in Shibata's eyes.

"...I see." Shibata took a deep breath, then nodded his head vigorously at Chuguang, "Let's go, Miss Chuguang! Let's blow up Yoshihisa and Mrs. Lao together! Let Toyotomi Nobuhide die immediately Lose 2 cronies!"

"That's decent." Chuguang smiled and patted Shibata's back, "Shibata, you always hesitate to do things."

"On the eve before the two of us worked together to rescue the people from the 'T-Size Proving Ground' who suffered the 'immortality experiment', you also told me how dangerous it was to do so."

"After all, I'm not as bold and unrestrained as Miss Chuguang..." Shibata smiled wryly.

"Sneak in, and I'll leave the task of detonating the gunpowder to you." Chu Guang said with a smile, "Stay outside, Shibata, and be ready to respond and rescue at any time. If you don't run in time, you may be blown half of your body." I'm on fire."

"Miss Chuguang." Shibata cried, "Don't say such terrible things..."

...

...

In this room for storing weapons and ammunition, the use of fire is naturally strictly controlled.

There were no oil lamps or torches for lighting in the room, and it was pitch black all around.

Fortunately, Chuguang has received strict training, even in the dark, she can barely see things and discern the direction.

Chuguang inspected his surroundings, looking for the most suitable powder keg for detonating.

After a while, she found a large wooden barrel full of gunpowder placed in the middle of the room.

- That's all!

Chuguang showed a determined expression, and lifted the lid of the powder barrel.

Just when she put her hand into her bosom, she was about to take out the torch and the cloth strips soaked in lamp oil to be used as fuses——

"Chuguang, you... are back."

An old male voice suddenly sounded behind her.
