Chapter 98 Changes in Favorability

"...You might as well...kill me with one knife..."

Imagawa Yoshimoto hugged the two swords tightly, and curled up in Mu Xiu's arms limply.She murmured like this, falling into serious self-denial and self-doubt, but her voice was as thin as a mosquito amidst the whistling sound of high-speed movement.

So it is doomed that her next "torture" will last for a long time.

The rapidly retreating surroundings all showed how fast Mu Xiu, who was holding her across his arms, was running, no matter whether the road under his feet was smooth or full of potholes, and even things like "roads" were does not exist.

His figure flashed across the vast field very quickly, and his balance was maintained quite well under such a rapid charge——

Basically, after going down the mountain, he was hugged by a princess, and he ran away with the lord of the country. Until now, he has been steady on the road, without shaking even a bit.

So soon, the Ozazama Flatland behind him had disappeared, and even Ozazama Mountain itself was slowly sinking below the horizon.

"..."

Concentrating all his energy, Mu Xiu carefully felt the rushing heat in his body.

He clearly sensed that there was a special heat force, which was constantly circulating in his veins with the traction of his breath, and circulated to his whole body, limbs and bones.Wherever it goes, the muscles, nerves and other bodies are as if soaked in hot water and receiving massage.

Constantly dispel fatigue and restore vitality to the body.

What's more, I just breathe in and out, and I don't need to do anything deliberately, the instinctive breath has already flowed naturally.Although there is no such thing as "endless and endless", but if this trend is maintained, he feels that he will continue to run for an hour or two or more without any feeling of fatigue.

To be honest, it is not impossible to increase the speed burst by one or two grades again, and it can even be said that it is still relatively easy.

It's just that they have now reached a suspicious speed, which can be said to be beyond the reach of both ancient scouts and modern motorcycle racers.If you continue to accelerate, the pressure on your body will increase accordingly...

Of course, Mu Xiu himself felt that it didn't matter, but the king who was being carried away by his princess in his arms was just an ordinary person's physical fitness, and even relatively weak, no matter how you looked at it, it didn't matter. Can't bear to toss.

So, just maintain this speed.

He was so distracted thinking in his mind, and then he seemed to hear something in the strong wind pressure, so he subconsciously looked down at the girl who was being held by the princess in his arms——

However, even with ears and eyes as clear as his, he couldn't hear clearly what the words that just disappeared in the wind were.

This black, long and straight girl is now flushed all over her face, her eyes are sideways with tears in her eyes, all she knows is that she is staring at the road ahead, not daring to meet Mu Xiu's gaze.

The king's snow-white white teeth gently bit his lower lip, and his whole body seemed to be broken. Not only was his body trembling slightly all the time, but even his eyes had actually started to circle. It looked like mosquito-repellent eyes in anime, and her head was almost steaming.

"???"

A series of question marks popped up above Mu Xiu's head like this, rising slowly.

He couldn't quite understand why the other party's reaction was so interesting. Wasn't it the same posture when he left the field yesterday?At that time, why didn't there be any reaction, or was it that the situation was critical and there was no time to think so much, and now that I have a choice, I would start to think wildly instead?
"That..." The young man subconsciously slowed down a bit, and the oncoming wind pressure immediately became much friendlier, at least he wouldn't be full of wind with just one mouthful.

Feeling that the speed of movement slowed down significantly, and hearing someone's voice, the king's lord was like a kitten whose tail was stepped on by someone inadvertently, and the slight trembling of his body suddenly intensified.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Xiu hesitated for a moment, but in the end he asked seriously and cautiously: "How do you feel now, or——I'd better carry you behind my back? I think you seem very uncomfortable look..."

"Well--!!"

Imagawa Yoshimoto's body froze suddenly at first, and then her whole body became limp. There was an exaggerated puff of blue smoke from the top of her head, as if it was a completely broken robot, and her head was also broken. It drooped directly.

Only the eyes that turned into mosquito coils, the astonishingly red cheeks, even the ears, neck and other places, all showed that her brain was finally burnt out due to the constant overheating.

"..."

Mu Xiu blinked, then tilted his head helplessly, and immediately remembered the conversation he had with Matsudaira Motoyasu not long ago. He said to himself: "Okay, slender, slender..." Then he couldn't help it. Staying, he sighed again.

So, sure enough, the best thing to do now is to pretend that you don't know what to do, silently avoid this embarrassing topic, and gradually get through this period of adaptation?

It seems that this is indeed the case. Deliberate reminders can only make the Hei Changzhi King keep thinking of such a shameful fact, and stimulate her own fragile spirit in this regard in her heart over and over again.

Taking a sharp breath against the wind, Mu Xiu silently accelerated his pace to return to the original speed, and adjusted his posture with one hand, holding down the girl's messy black hair that seemed to be blown loose by the strong wind pressure at any time.

Immediately afterwards, he narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the end of the horizon ahead, as if he was carefully identifying the direction.

However, at the moment when he just concentrated his attention, a strange sense of familiarity suddenly hit his heart. Before he had time to react, he immediately saw strange flashes of light and shapeless strings appearing in his vision .

"...!!"

etc!The hallucinations that disappeared for less than half a month started to attack again? !
In an instant, Mu Xiu's expression became very ugly.

……

……

at the same time.

On Ozama Mountain, somewhere halfway up the mountain.

This is a narrow flat land on the mountain, and not far away is a narrow mountain road that passes through it, which can barely accommodate three people walking side by side.On the other side is a solid mountain wall, and on the other side is a stretch of forest, which is not only extremely dense, but also overgrown with weeds and thorns. It seems that no one except rabbits would like to drill into it.

However, at this moment, dozens of soldiers wearing armor and armor and holding knives and guns surrounded the edge of the forest, and the innermost circle was Oda Nobuna and other military generals.

It's just that at this moment, the faces of these beautiful Ji Wu generals are all very ugly, because the scene is a killing field of blood gorilla Shura:

More than a dozen corpses of musketeers who were obviously from the Oda Army not long ago have now fallen to the ground in a disorderly manner, and no one was spared and left their lives on this mountain forever.Although the blood that flowed out had solidified and turned black long ago, it almost soaked through the surrounding soil—and the characteristics of each corpse were very consistent and very obvious.

That is, the cause of their death was that their heads were chopped off. This was the only wound on their bodies, and it was also the deadliest wound.

The only one that can be said to be the most complete corpse also had a large bloody hole in its neck. The trachea, Adam's apple, veins and arteries were all crushed by something. Preservation... However, his head was not on the body, and it was cut off again at that time.

The most important thing is——

The thirteen soldiers who acted together did not draw out the swords around their waists, and the armor on their bodies did not look like they had been through any battle. The gunpowder and the small lead shot were not worn out, and even the matchlock showed no sign of being ignited.

Basically, it is complete and complete. As long as the head is picked up, there is no need for any treatment, and people can pay their respects to the remains.

It's just that this kind of discovery made Owari's foolish princess with her hair in a tea bun and a dagger tied around her waist, a girl with long brown hair, Oda Nobuna, very angry.

This kind of anger even overwhelmed the subconscious fear of the murderer in her heart.

Because these Tanegashima muskets are "iron cannons" introduced from the Nanman side, although other famous names in the Warring States Period have not yet realized the advancement and advantages of these things, she has a discerning eye and believes that they will definitely replace them in the future. Swords and guns have become the main weapons on the battlefield.

At a time when people in the world generally regard it as a rare toy from the Southern Barbarians, she is so convinced of her judgment that she has even begun to act, equipping her army in large numbers.

It's just that the price of these "iron cannons" is not cheap. It can be said that they are expensive and rare. She only relies on the trading port of Tsushima owned by the Oda family, and by collecting military funds from the merchants in Tsushima. Collected 500 Tanegashima muskets.Compared with the total force of the Oda family of [-], only [-] can be equipped.

This also means that these five hundred Musketeers are theoretically better talents than other soldiers.

But now, what she saw was a one-sided massacre, and the soldiers under her didn't even have a decent fight back at all.It seemed that he was completely frightened and dumbfounded all of a sudden. He could only stand there blankly waiting to die, and he didn't even run away and shout—so much so that the corpse was already cold and the blood had solidified, so he didn't find out. .

The most important thing is that the enemy also didn't pay attention to the Tanegashima muskets on the ground, and left the scene without touching them.

... was humiliated.

She thought so, and then her chest heaved sharply, and a breath of discontent rushed back and forth.

She lowered her head, thinking hard in her mind, her face was cold.

The soldiers around felt that she had eaten explosives and might lose her temper at any time, so they didn't dare to make a sound or approach her. They even couldn't let their breathing and heartbeat be turned off directly, and lowered their heads tremblingly.

until--

"Princess, I have already checked. They were basically killed with a single knife, and it can even be regarded as being beheaded at the same time... Maybe the attack came too fast, they didn't have time to react, and the wounds On the face of it, there should be only one murderer."

The one who spoke out at this time was among the young generals who inherited their father's position. Not long ago, Niwa Nagahide, who was still serving as Oda Nobuna's servant, was a girl who was about 20 years old.

However, she does not give the impression of a mature and charming older sister. To Oda Nobuna, she is indeed like an older sister.
