Chapter 215: Capture him alive!
"Murong Jun!"
Shuiping Taijiro grabbed Murong Ye's collar angrily and asked coldly, "Didn't you say someone would come to help us and open the city gate for us? Why did it turn out like this?"
Murong Ye wanted to know the reason even more than he did, so he stiffened his neck and yelled at him, "You ask me, who should I ask?"
Around them, Japanese soldiers fell one after another, and their screams were endless.
It was actually the first time that Shui Taijiro witnessed a battlefield full of corpses and blood. It was just that he spoke Kyushu dialect too well, and as a result, he was noticed by Kusai Kazuo.
I thought I would be able to rise to great heights, but in the end I ended up with one foot in the gate of hell.
In order to save his life, he grabbed Murong Ye and turned around to run, shouting to the Japanese soldiers who were rushing forward, "Quick! Retreat! There is an ambush ahead! Everyone, retreat quickly!"
The soldiers at the back were terrified when they saw hundreds of flaming arrows whizzing through the night sky and coming towards them.
On the city wall, Chu Xinyue glanced around and, with the help of Murong Ye's aura as the male protagonist, she saw his location at a glance.
She quickly drew her bow and drew her arrow. "This time, I won't let you get away again!"
call out!
The poisoned arrow was aimed at Murong Ye's back!
The arrow is pointing directly at the location of his left atrium.
The long arrow was coming with great force and was about to hit Murong Ye.
However, at this critical moment, a Japanese soldier behind Murong Ye ran behind him in panic.
The arrow shot by Chu Xinyue happened to hit his heart!
"ah!"
When Murong Ye heard the screams behind him, he turned his head instinctively, and his pupils reflected the horrified look of the Japanese soldiers who died with their eyes open.
When he saw the Japanese soldiers dying tragically in front of him, his eyes swept over Chu Xinyue standing on the city wall, and hatred surged in his chest.
When he failed in his attempt to force the emperor to abdicate in the capital, he was hit by an arrow from Chu Xinyue. The wound recurred for a long time and has not been completely healed to this day.
The military doctor said that even if his wounds healed, they would leave serious sequelae.
From now on he can neither ride a horse nor shoot an arrow, and is basically half useless.
All this is thanks to Chu Xinyue!
It was because he was too eager for quick success tonight that he fell into the trap of Xue Youli and the others!
Since he knew that the siege was hopeless, he could only retreat and save his life first so that he could have the possibility of counterattack and revenge in the future.
Murong Ye was not interested in fighting, so he fled to the rear of the Japanese army with Shui Taijiro.
However, they had not run far when countless arrows were suddenly shot out from the bushes nearby.
"Baka! We've been fooled!"
When Taijiro Shuichi saw the Kyushu army rushing out of the bushes, his expression changed instantly.
He turned his head to look at Murong Ye who was desperately resisting the rain of arrows, and asked angrily, "Mr. Murong, didn't you say you had an insider? Didn't you say that it was a sure thing to capture Ningcheng? Why are so many of us dead now?"
Murong Ye was busy swinging his sword to block the arrows and had no time to pay attention to Shuiping Taijiro.
He felt even more aggrieved than Shui Shui Taijiro!
Originally, he thought Ningcheng was in his pocket, but who would have thought that he fell into the trap set by Chu Xinyue and her group and was caught in their trap!
Murong Yejun's face was extremely gloomy, "Let's go! Let's talk about it after we get back to the camp!"
He knew that Shuiping Taijiro had some influence in front of Kusaichuan Kazuo. Because of his wrong decision tonight, the Japanese soldiers suffered heavy losses. When he returned, Kusaichuan Kazuo would inevitably hold him accountable.
He can push Shuichi Taijiro out to take the blame as well.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Arrows continued to shoot at them, and Murong Ye and Shuiping Taijiro were dodging them with great effort.
Murong Ye's old wounds had not yet healed, and after such a fight, his face became even paler.
"Kill! Kill these Japanese barbarians!"
Murong Ye looked at the growing number of Jiuzhou troops and gradually became exhausted.
Seeing a long sword coming down on his head, he didn't even have the strength to defend himself against the sword.
Murong Ye raised his eyelids, and the sharp blade of the long sword was reflected in his pupils. Although he was extremely unwilling in his heart, in the end he could only force out a bitter smile.
Is God going to let him die here?
He had a lot of ambition but no time to realize it.
He doesn't accept it!
Why is God so cruel to him?
He had been living a smooth life for the first 25 years, so why did everything change after he met Xue Qingyao?
He looked up at the dark night, his original bitterness and helplessness turned into hatred, and even his eyes turned bloodshot.
But even though he was filled with rage, in the end he could only resign himself to his fate and close his eyes.
He had never relaxed for a moment along the way and was really exhausted.
If he was destined to stop here...
Ding!
The sound of swords clashing suddenly rang out. When Murong Ye looked up, he only had time to see Si Sha's murderous and fierce back.
"Your Highness, I am late!"
Si Sha dealt with the Jiuzhou soldiers who were besieging Murong Ye, and without further ado, he pulled Murong Ye away.
He helped Murong Ye onto the horse and got on another horse himself, "Your Highness, let's go!"
"Why are you here?"
Murong Ye left him in the Japanese camp and asked him to secretly monitor Jiu Caichuan Yifu's every move for him. He didn't expect Si Sha to come here.
"Miss Hezi is worried about you, so she asked her subordinates to come over to protect you!"
Si Sha led his horse and galloped towards the Japanese camp.
After the two escaped from the pursuit of the Jiuzhou army, Si Sha couldn't help but speak, "Your Highness, Kusaichuan Yifu is just using you, why don't we leave here and go to the northern border?"
Murong Ye turned his head and looked at Si Sha, his eyes full of bitterness, "Do you think my sister is not taking advantage of me?"
Ever since he failed in his attempt to force the emperor to abdicate, Murong Mian had completely cut off contact with him.
On the contrary, Jiucai Hezi resolutely found him according to the secret code he left along the way and brought him back to Japan.
Although he also used Jiucai Hezi, he thought that if he got the throne in the future, even if he could not fulfill his promise to make Jiucai Hezi the empress, he would ensure that she would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life.
Si Sha thought about the hardships they had gone through all the way to Japan, and felt very upset. "Your Highness, if we fail to capture the city tonight, how are we going to explain this to Hisaikawa Kazuo?"
Before, in order to prove his own strength, Murong Ye boasted in front of Jiu Caichuan Yifu. Now, the people he brought out were almost wiped out. Jiu Caichuan Yifu must be furious!
Murong Ye's eyebrows were tightly locked, his eyes were dark, and he looked like a ghost that could eat human spirits in the night. "Don't worry, as long as I am still Jiu Cai Hezi's husband in name, he won't do anything to me!"
Jiucai Hezi was completely devoted to Murong Ye. As long as he showed weakness and acted pitiful in front of Jiucai Hezi, Jiucai Hezi would naturally protect him.
Si Sha knew in his heart that the decision to join the Iga faction was made by Murong Ye after weighing the pros and cons.
Having fallen into such a state, it was the best outcome for them that the Iga clan took them in.
Murong Ye thought of the explanation in his mind, and then he and Si Sha hurried back to the Japanese camp.
On the city wall of Ningcheng, Chu Xinyue watched helplessly as the arrow she shot missed the target. She also watched helplessly as Murong Ye walked further and further away with the aura of the protagonist. She was so angry that she threw the bow and arrow under her feet.
"What's going on? Is it possible that this male protagonist cannot be killed no matter what?"
Xue Youli patted her shoulder soothingly, "It doesn't matter. It's Murong Ye's credit that we were able to destroy a group of Japanese troops tonight! Let's make up another rumor to confirm Murong Ye's credit!"
Chu Xinyue looked at Xue Youli's blinking expression and knew that she had come up with another good idea to play a prank on someone.
She looked at Xue Youli and asked curiously, "How did you spread rumors about him?"
"Watch me!" Xue Youli said, walking to the city wall, with his hands bent to his mouth in the shape of a trumpet, "Murong Ye! Thanks to you for leading the Japanese here, our encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army went smoothly! I will report to the emperor and give you a great credit! When you bring the head of Kucaichuan Yifu back to the capital, the emperor will definitely reward you handsomely!"
Chu Xinyue glanced down at the city wall and saw that the Japanese soldiers were still resisting and were skeptical of her method. "Do they believe your attempt to sow discord?"
"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. As long as you can plant a seed of doubt, you've succeeded!"
Hisaikawa Kazuo himself is a suspicious person. Once he suspects that Murong Ye has ulterior motives, Murong Ye's plan to use the Japanese army and Iga-faction ninjas to return to the capital will be completely shattered!
Chu Xinyue looked down at the Japanese soldiers outside the city wall who were suffering heavy casualties, and raised her hand to gesture to stop the attack.
The troops stationed on the city wall received the order and quickly stopped the attack.
The defeated Japanese soldiers got a chance to catch their breath and supported each other as they fled towards the Japanese camp.
"Did you hear that? The commander-in-chief of Jiuzhou and his men are talking about how Murong Ye is pretending to surrender to us in Japan, with the goal of completely destroying us and occupying the entire Japan!"
"The people of Jiuzhou are full of tricks. Lord Jiucai was deceived by Murong Ye's sweet words!"
"Let's go! We must bring this news back alive! We can't let the Japanese army be destroyed by Murong Ye!"
Xue Youli watched them hastily retreat, and suddenly had an idea. He said to Chu Xinyue, "Ayue, find a few skilled people to capture a few alive. We can interrogate them carefully. Maybe we will get something unexpected!"
Chu Xinyue replied cheerfully, "How many live people do you want? I'll go get them!"
"Three or four will do."
"no problem!"
Chu Xinyue turned her head and called out to someone not far away, "Wang Dali!"
"Here!" Wang Dali ran over quickly. "Captain, how can I help you?"
"Come on, follow me and catch some little bastards!"
As Chu Xinyue spoke, she jumped down the city wall, and Wang Dali followed closely behind her.
As soon as they went down, Xue Youli saw a large black army coming in this direction not far away.
On the front horse, Hisaikawa Kazuo was holding the reins, looking majestic and imposing. Even though his face could not be seen clearly in the dark, the Book of Secrets had already displayed the other party's ID card in time.
[Name: Kazuo Kusaichuan, 45 years old, head of the Iga clan.]
Xue Youli narrowed her eyes and looked into the distance, her red lips curled up in an arc of interest, "Jiu Caichuan Yifu? I've heard of your name for a long time!"
Before she finished her words, a line of large characters suddenly appeared on the Book of Secrets: [Plot triggers, it is detected that there is a secret between Kusai Chuan Kazuo and their king's wife! ]
