Chapter 220: 219 The seventeen adopted sons of Gu Yingzhong

Chapter 220 Chapter 219. Gu Yingzhong-Seventeen Adopted Sons

Woo is much easier to deal with than I thought.

Lan dropped the mace in his hand, moved his wrist and whispered.

He originally thought that this was at least an opponent on the level of Gregor Clegane. Although it's not very difficult, you have to at least use a few tricks.

But the body of a top warrior is very easy to deal with if it is controlled only by a child-like mind.

Lan En suspected that if he threw a candy on the ground, he would squat down and pick it up.

The large troops behind him followed, and Kotaro moved the Taro soldier who was unconscious and drooling on the ground to one side.

After crossing the bridge, there are two arrow towers built on both sides of the bridge.

If the archers among the bandits were not eager to plunder, but instead stood firm here, it would be difficult for Lan En to bring people over directly.

But this also further proves the destructive power of the traitors.

These two arrow towers did not play any role in preventing the bandits from breaking in.

Take someone to guard it, I dont want us to be swept away again later.

Lan grabbed the shoulder of a short bow ashigaru and asked him to climb up to the arrow tower. At this bridgehead, he left a reasonable number of people and arrangements based on shooting angles and close combat defense considerations.

If they were just ordinary bandits, it would be unlikely that hundreds of people would be able to charge over.

On the high ground of Pingtian Manor, two ninjas wearing purple and black striped costumes were overlooking the growing fire in Pingtian Manor.

A ninja dressed in the same attire as them suddenly jumped up from below using the [Light Body Technique], and half-knelt behind them, obviously lower.

Sir, the ashigaru and ronin of Hiradaso Castle Town have organized a counterattack, and now they have eliminated 80% of the bandits entrenched there. Those troops are moving towards the main house.

Oh? A lone figure who was watching the fire turned around. "Didn't that owl promise us that the distribution of troops he arranged would make it impossible to regroup?"

Humph, hes just a country ninja. How much more beautifully can you expect him to do things right?

Thats true. But it doesnt matter. Gu Yingzhong, known as Zhengjiu, shook his head. "Those bandits are just garbage to be discarded, so we only wanted to be quick and did not clean up the areas we had already conquered."

"So, Tadashi. If you want to destroy the Hirata clan, you only need to kill the remaining young master Hirata. Nothing else matters. The retainer who failed to protect his master and let him die at the hands of bandits, Wei Who in their name would trust them? Without us taking action, they will all die sooner or later."

But didnt that owl say that Young Master Pingtian must be captured alive?

I just asked my companion next to me, and received an indifferent chuckle.

"He said? He defected to the inner government. How could he let the country ninja negotiate terms with us? Okay, no more. These bandits die casually, but I quite like Anaconda Juzo. I Go and remind him to withdraw as soon as possible after finishing the work."

Just nodded slightly.

"I remember, he called you 'Brother Zhengda'? You are really familiar with him. Then I will lead my people to cause some trouble for this group of samurai who have gathered again. Don't find Young Master Hirata when I get back, but They caught up."

Very good, lets start working.

As soon as the words fell, Gu Yingzhong's figure suddenly rose up like a black hawk blending into the night, and then fell down.

Lan En was leading a group of people towards the inner house, and they crossed another bridge on the way.

One has to lament the steep terrain of Ashina Country. Even though manors have been built on as flat a place as possible, the fragmented terrain and water flow still require various means to connect the terrain.

While leading the team forward, Lan En took the time to look down. He discovered that there were also large brocade carps in this small tributary of Longquan River.

If he can pass this test tonight, he will definitely come back and look for these 'jewelry suppliers'.

The armor plates and weapons on a group of people and horses jingled as they ran.

The main door of the inner house was already in sight. Lan En didn't hear any movement at all from the front, but a panicked shout suddenly came from the team behind him.

"Dead people! There are enemies!" The shouts caused a small commotion, and the team's progress stopped.

Lan En frowned and walked back. What caught his eyes was the limp body of an ashigaru.

On his unprotected neck, a sharp iron stick similar to the size of a sweater needle pierced his neck, and blood flowed from the wound.

Lan En has seen this kind of throwing object in the "Lone Shadow Ninja Technique Book", and its name is "Qianben". The slender and sharp shape is not only difficult to observe during flight, but the wind noise it makes is almost inaudible.

In other words, they are Guyingzhong!

"It's a ninja! Circle formation! The person holding the wooden sign stands on the outside and raises the shield!"

Lan En ordered calmly, and everyone who had experienced his perfect command immediately followed it subconsciously.

Just when the Mupai soldiers were getting into formation, they heard "dong dong dong" three times in a row.

Three iron sticks were directly pierced into the wooden sign. Judging from the impact point, at least three more people will fall if they take one more late step.

Lan En's eyes narrowed slightly.

He did not hear or smell it just now. Just looking at the opponent's silence and breath-holding technique, his proficiency is not at the same level as that of the guy being chased by a wolf!

Suddenly, Lan En thought of the miscellaneous talk revealed in the "Lone Shadow Ninja Techniques Book".

The Solitary Shadows are the most trusted ninjas in the imperial court. Their leader, Masatsuna Oribe, has seventeen adopted sons, all of whom are highly skilled.

One of the seventeen adopted sons?

Kotaro.

Sir, Im listening!

Standing in the middle of the circular formation, Lan En's height and softly reflected silver hair made him stand out from the crowd.

He made no move to dodge, and the other party didn't seem to have any intention of attacking him easily.

"A lone ninja here can only delay time. Maybe their plan is nearing completion, or maybe he has invested new troops behind us. But we cannot watch him complete his plan."

Those slightly bright cat eyes scanned the bamboo forest and the shadows between the houses under the dim moonlight and firelight.

"I will go out directly. He cannot ignore my influence, and he will follow. And now you need to return to the arrow tower just now to prepare for the enemies that may come from behind. Understood?"

Lan En stared seriously at the short man in front of him who had just lost his mother.

His shrinking and funny face suddenly became serious, and his cheeks clenched and puffed up.

It seems that he was extremely excited to be entrusted with a task by Lan En.

Sir, we will definitely repel the enemy!

Then do it.

Lan En pushed back the scattered silver hair in front of his forehead, pushed away the ashigaru who maintained a circular formation in front of him, and walked out.

As expected, the ninja did not attack ordinary soldiers again.

Most of the combat power of this small corps is concentrated on Lan En alone. If he does not want this huge variable to interfere with the mission, the ninja must stop the lone demon hunter.

As for ordinary soldiers, they are not a problem at all in comparison.
