I am the king of the world

Chapter 224!

On the main road, a small team of more than a dozen war horses was riding their horses and galloping, and behind them, a cloud of dust was raised.

In the lead was a fourteen-year-old girl wearing a red dress and armor.

The girl seemed to like folding fans very much, so… Even holding the reins in his hand, he did not let go of the folding fan in his hand.

Behind her, a knight drove the war horse under his crotch, carefully approached the woman, and asked loudly, “Lord Changxiu, aren’t we going back to the Oda family?” This doesn’t seem to be the way to Oda’s house, right? ”

“Of course we have to go back to the Oda house…” Niwa Nagahide smiled slightly and said, “But–before that, we still have some things to do, nothing more than rushing overnight, and we don’t need to waste much work!” ”

“Hey!!”

The knight heard that his lord had deliberately taken the wrong path, so he stopped asking anything, he directly pulled the reins of his horse slightly, took a few steps slower, and retreated back into the horse team again.

This is the etiquette of being a servant, and it must not be messed with.

And at the moment –

In fact, Niwa Changxiu’s heart is not as indifferent as she shows on her face…

In the face of her own plans, her heart is not low.

Because –

Her plan was to go alone first, on behalf of her lord, to inquire—the hermit who lived in Zhushan.

In fact, that nameless mountain, because it is so desolate, no one has ever given it a name.

One, it is not a residential place, at least it was not inhabited before.

Second, it is not the main road for soldiers to compete for.

So…… Even if that mountain used to have a name, no one knows it now.

But now—that mountain got its name because of the sea of bamboo that covered the mountains—Bamboo Mountain.

Those three villages are also named because of their different geographical environments – Shangzhu Village, Zhongzhu Village, and Xiazhu Village.

In fact, it is named after the upper, middle and lower reaches of the river that surrounds Zhushan.

However, in terms of the talent of the neon man name, this is already very good…

After all, the names are made by illiterate peasants, what kind of elegant name can you expect them to come out?

Ahem – far-fetched.

In fact, Niwa Nagahide’s plan is to find out the bottom… She doesn’t want success in the First World War, she just wants to know… Entrenched in that bamboo mountain, is it a hermit, or a bandit or… What else exists.

If it was a bandit, the dozen or so guards around her were enough to protect her from the siege.

After all, at this time, in a cottage, the number of bandits is not very large, and fifty capable warriors can already be called a big village.

Moreover, Niwa Changxiu has war horses under each crotch, as long as they don’t love war and want to run, those bandits have no way to do anything to them, war horses are such a rare thing, there are not many bandits, at most there are three or two… And most of them are still unusable horses.

Of course, Niwa Changxiu does not rule out that there is indeed an idea of a powerful hermit inside.

If this is the case, even if Niwa Nagahide can’t ask him to go down the mountain to assist his lord, he must find out his preferences…

In this way, when his lord comes for the second time, he can leave at least one impression point by doing what he likes.

As for what Oda Nobuna said – there is such a thing as the Daimyō Demon Master living there.

Niwa Nagahide didn’t believe it in the slightest.

Until now, she thought that the Great Ming Demon Master would definitely not live in seclusion here.

Are you kidding…… If you can meet the Daming Demon Master so simply, then Niwa Changxiu can only say that his lord is the darling of heaven, destined to end the existence of chaotic times in the future.

But – how can such a thing happen?

Thinking of this, Niwa Changxiu couldn’t help but laugh at herself, if it was really the Great Ming Demon Master, then she would do her best to persuade him to join her lord’s command, for this, she was willing to pay any price.

Because – getting the support of the demon master is equivalent to getting the world, and there is only one step away.

It is said that the Otomo family in Kyushu was once supported by the demon master, so the territory of the Otomo family was turned over in half a year.

Originally equal to the Otomo family, and even faintly suppressed the Otomo family, the Ouchi family was quickly destroyed by the Otomo family.

This is the power of the demon master from Daming.

But later, for some unknown reason, the Otomo family fell out with His Royal Highness the Daimyō Demon Master, so… There is no follow-up.

In this regard – countless famous bullets celebrated, it’s really pitiful, the two fell out, otherwise they would be unlucky.

In Niwa Changxiu’s mind, while recalling the information of the Daming Demon Master, he urged the horse to gallop without hesitation…

In order to hurry, she was ready to travel day and night.

Bamboo Mountain is not far from Nakono Castle, which is about fifty or sixty kilometers.

If you drive, it will probably take less than an hour.

However, if you ride a horse, it is much slower…

And the so-called main road at this time is also potholed – not very suitable for horses to run.

On such roads, war horses can maintain a speed of twenty kilometers per hour, you can snicker.

At noon, from Nakono Castle, it wasn’t until five or six o’clock in the afternoon, when the sun was about to set, that Niwa Nagahide took a dozen samurai to Nakatake Village at the foot of Takeyama.

How could those villagers have seen so many samurai on horseback?

All of them hid back home in panic, cautiously looking out through the crack in the door.

It wasn’t until they saw the five-petal papaya pattern that belonged to the Oda family behind these samurai that they were slightly relieved.

The village chief who had walked out of the village and went to that ancient wild castle trembled and opened his door, carefully walked to Niwa Changxiu, knelt on the ground with a respectful expression, and said respectfully: “Little Xinta to the adults to ask for peace, I don’t know what the adults have to do here?” ”

“Let me ask you, do you know who lives in this bamboo mountain?” Niwa Nagahide asked directly.

“This… The little one doesn’t know, the little one only knows that in this bamboo mountain, there are gods and adults protecting him… All those who try to disturb the sacred mountain will be punished!! The middle-aged man named Shinta said cautiously, “Lord, do you want to go up to the sacred mountain?” ”

“That’s right…!!” Niwa Changxiu nodded and said.

“This must not be…” the village chief said in shock: “The man who entered the sacred mountain, none of them came out alive, only the daughter’s family could faint and appear outside the mountain forest!” ”

“Huh??” Hearing the village chief’s words, Niwa Changxiu asked a little strangely: “Doesn’t it mean that all those who strayed into the bamboo forest will appear outside the bamboo forest inexplicably?” ”

“No, sir!!” The village chief said sincerely: “Only the daughter’s family has such a chance, and a man has no chance to get out of the mountain and forest alive…”

“Interesting… Then I’m really going to go in and take a look!! “Niwa Nagahide became a little curious about the rumors he heard from his own lord and different from those he heard here… Of course, she thinks, it may be due to some misinformation, after all, word of mouth news, sometimes, inevitably out of shape.

Ninjas are not infallible machines, and mistakes are inevitable. “You guys stay here, I’ll go up the mountain alone to check!!”
