If I fail to overcome the tribulation, I can only return to the Ming Dynasty and become a prince.

Chapter 291 Assassination and Escape
Although the Void Monk invited by the shogunate is not a 'master' like Dojiaban who can break through the golden elixir with just one kick, he is also a practitioner who has at least practiced Qi into the body. This strength is naturally far superior to ordinary people. Above people.

So after confirming to the shogunate's envoy that catching Lan Qier was a move, he rode to the foot of the mountain where the shrine was located, thinking about how to catch Lan Qier.

At this time, the old warrior also gathered here with his remaining soldiers. If the Void Monk succeeded in catching Lan Qier later, they would be responsible for the rear.

However, at this time, the old samurai did not feel that he was being used as cannon fodder, because the special envoy of the shogunate was not the only one who contacted him. Before they had fought fiercely with the Mongolian cavalry until now, another group of about The ninja army of more than 200 people also rushed over. At this time, they totaled almost [-] people.

The so-called ninjas are not the things that are boasted in the movies and TV shows of later generations. They can neither fly into the sky or escape from the earth, nor can they show you how to spit fireballs from their mouths.

Of course, maybe some big ninja sects do inherit some secret techniques, but those can only be said to be high-end technologies that can only be mastered by a few elites or simply the sect leaders.

What most ordinary ninjas know is nothing more than some superficial martial arts, and some passable disguise, lurking, and intelligence gathering.

This is also the reason why in the later Warring States Period, the so-called ninja army was developed. To put it bluntly, these are a group of mercenaries with special skills. They can do some dirty work for the daimyo or samurai. They are more powerful than bandits. , The bandits are stronger, but their strength is very limited.

However, the ninja army of more than 200 people can be considered a considerable force. If used well, it can attack cities and villages. After all, these so-called ninjas may be weaker in frontal combat, but they can climb a wall, sneak in and infiltrate It's still very useful to open a city gate or something.

Therefore, in the opinion of the old warrior, with the addition of these two hundred ninja troops, they would not have no chance of capturing Lan Qier even without the help of the Void Monk.

As long as you wait until nightfall and let the ninja army sneak into the shrine, you can catch the opponent by surprise.

However, this can only be said to be taken for granted in an idealized state. Not to mention whether they can wait until nightfall, the fifty Mongolian cavalry alone almost killed them all. Now there are dozens of armed peasants at the shrine. They are afraid that even with a sneak attack, they won't be able to get into the shrine.

Therefore, the special envoy of the shogunate did not expect the old samurai and the others to attack the shrine at all. He just hoped that they and the ninja army could attract each other's attention and facilitate the actions of the Nihility Monk.

According to the plan of the special envoy of the shogunate, they only need to use the old warriors and others to hold back the dozens of Mongolian cavalry and let the void monks kidnap King Zheng's concubine out of the way, and they can retreat.

The special envoy of the shogunate also arranged another force, but they did not participate in this battle, but were only responsible for responding and helping to provide hiding places.

Obviously, this group of people was one of the samurai families on Kyushu Island who surrendered to Zhu Zhanyu after the death of the Ouchi family, but they were still dissatisfied and wanted to overthrow Zhu Zhanyu's rule.

These guys undoubtedly wouldn't dare to stand up and directly oppose Zhu Zhanchun's rule with a clear-cut banner. Those who dared to do so would have already dug their graves.

But let them make some small moves secretly to provide some convenience to the shogunate's envoys. They still have the courage, and they are very bold.

It is precisely because of this that the special envoys of the shogunate were able to cause trouble on Kyushu Island, but they were still not discovered by the Ming army.

It's just that the samurai families on Kyushu Island never thought that the shogunate's special envoy was brave enough to directly attack Zhu Zhanyu's concubine and wanted to kidnap her as a hostage. "Get ready to attack. You don't need to actually capture this place. You just need to attract their attention and create opportunities for the master!" The shogunate's special envoy was also wearing armor today. He was standing in an inconspicuous position and shouted loudly. Urging the old samurai's men to launch an attack with the ninjas.

While they were beating gongs and drums for a frontal attack, the Void Monk also moved from the mountains and forests to approach the shrine.

Although there is only one way up the mountain, it is not impossible for practitioners to go up the mountain from other directions.

However, the Void Monk did not use too many spells, and relied more on his superior physical fitness to climb the mountain.

It's not that he doesn't know how to lighten one's body, but in this era of lack of spiritual energy, a practitioner with limited cultivation like him is not like a master of Dujiaban's level who either hides or goes to death. Although you are reincarnated, you will still face insufficient spiritual energy and mana while walking in the world.

Therefore, they save as much as they can on the use of spells. Even if there are supplementary means, the Void Monk does not want to consume too much of his power.

And in his opinion, it is completely easy for a practitioner to deal with a group of mortals, and there is no need to use many spells at all.

In fact, this is indeed the case. When the Void Monk came to the inside of the shrine and lay down on the roof to approach Lan Qier, no one in the Mongolian cavalry in the yard noticed him. Even when he attacked Lan Qier, It was the priest of the shrine who blocked the knife and let out a scream that made the four guards react and hurriedly came to protect him.

But they have no ability to delay time in front of the Void Monk. No matter how weak the practitioner is, they are still practitioners and cannot be defeated by ordinary people.

At least, for the Void Monk, the four Mongolian cavalry could not pose any hindrance to him.

However, Lan Qier finally took this opportunity to escape the first wave of attacks from the Nihility Monk, successfully fled into the courtyard, flew onto her mount, and then rushed out of the shrine courtyard.

At this time, other guards in the courtyard also heard the noise and rushed over. The head guard shot an arrow at the Void Monk with eyes wide open, trying to delay his pace and buy Lan Qier time to escape.

However, the Void Monk didn't seem to care at all. After making a hand seal, a faint golden light glowed on his body, and he directly blocked the arrows fired by the Mongolian cavalry with his body, and chased Lan Qier.

Fortunately, Lan Qier's mount was a high-quality horse, and it was very spiritual. After Lan Qier sat on it, she didn't need to whip her, and she quickly ran out without letting the void monk catch Lan Qi. Son.

However, the Void Monk didn't seem to be in a hurry at this time. He just followed out slowly and fell behind Lan Qier.

He knew that Lan Qier's escape route was impossible. There were old warriors and ninja troops guarding the mountain below, and there was only one train of thought on the mountain. There was no other way down the mountain.
