"Do, Dororo...Dororo, where?"

Hyakkimaru went to "look" around as soon as he woke up, looking for Dororo's soul color, and at the same time listened attentively, hoping to hear her voice, but he was destined to be disappointed.

"Dororo, it's gone... No way!"

He was about to stand up with his body that hadn't recovered yet, but his body wobbled and fell down again.

"You better be quiet."

Lin Ye frowned, and pressed Hyakkimaru's chest with his hand, suppressing him from getting up again.

"Now you can't go anywhere!"

"What the hell happened?"

Mio and Biwamaru were also nearby, and the girl asked worriedly, "What's wrong with Dororo?"

"Dororo, Dororo..."

However, Hyakkimaru didn't intend to communicate with Mio at all, but kept calling Dororo's name in his mouth, although he couldn't make an expression, it could make people feel his anxious emotions.

"Let the old man come."

Pipa Wan took a step forward: "The old man is quite familiar with him, and he is blind, so it is much more convenient to communicate with you..."

Having said that, talking to Hyakkimaru, who is emotionally unstable, is not an easy task. Even the experienced Biwamaru took half a day to roughly understand what happened.

"This is troublesome... Dororo should have been taken away."

Biwamaru thought for a moment, and then explained the information he had learned and a certain degree of speculation.

To put it simply, when Hyakkimaru and the others went fishing and hunting, they encountered an army of samurai who had been chasing and killing them by chance. Drifting down and being picked up by the villagers...

Dororo had been caught by the enemy before he fell into the mountain stream. It looked like Dororo was probably trying to threaten Hyakkimaru with Dororo. She should be fine before Hyakkimaru died.

The question now is how to rescue Dororo. It is undoubtedly the next strategy to go directly to the hard army.Moreover, in order not to hurt others, Lin Ye and the others should leave the village immediately.

... By the way, Mio, Biwamaru and the others are still a little confused, but Lin Ye, who has read the "original work", already understands the whole story.

Although Hyakkimaru has a special fate, he has no gold, silver or treasure, and he is not a beauty who can ruin the country. How could he attract a large army to chase and kill him?

The only samurai group that has a reason to hunt down and kill Hyakkimaru is only one: the Daigo family!

That is, the father and younger brother of Hyakkimaru!

This is easy to understand. For his father Daigo Jingguang, Hyakkimaru was a victim. If he wanted to kill ghosts and gods and regain his body, it would mean that the Daigo Kingdom would lose the "protection" of the demon gods, and would gradually decline and perish.

For his younger brother Tahomaru, except for things like inheritance rights, Tahomaru didn't want to see the Daigo Kingdom disappear, but he didn't dare to resist the Demon God... so he had to let Hyakkimaru die.

This might be an opportunity—this thought suddenly flashed through Lin Ye's mind.

"Well, the first thing to do now is to find that group of warriors, how to save people and make a long-term plan, and then..."

Lin Ye looked at Mei Xu with a hint of apology: "Sorry, it's only been two days since we've had a peaceful life, and we're probably going to start running around again."

"Really, then I need to prepare a few more pairs of shoes."

Mei Xu shook her head, she was even calmer than Lin Ye, accepting the current situation calmly.

"After all, there is no way to do it. Master Linye doesn't need to blame himself...just, I hope Dororo will be fine."

-

Dororo is fine... at least for the time being.

She was also kidnapped by a samurai, but her treatment was much better than that of Yataro and Zetaro. Not only was she put on horseback, but she was also "taken care of" by someone specially assigned to her.

"Damn it! Let me go!"

"be honest!"

After being slapped twice, Dororo finally calmed down, but there was still an unyielding look in his eyes.

"Just wait, my elder brother will definitely come to save me!"

"Humph!"

Waiting is your big brother!

The attendant ignored the rambunctious brat, and after a cold snort, he showed a worried expression, and looked at another Duobaowan, which was tied to the back of the horse.

"Little Lord……"

In the previous encounter, Hyakkimaru was certainly unprepared, but the samurai side was also in a hurry. It can be said that the two met on a narrow road.

Fortunately, he had an absolute advantage in military strength, and he controlled this brat, so Hyakkimaru was distracted and knocked down the mountain...

However, the fly in the ointment was that the young master was not calm enough, and even stepped forward to fight him personally, which resulted in not only being seriously injured, but even losing an eye!

It is no longer possible to stay in the mountains, and the young master must be brought back to Daigo City to find the best doctor, even the mage from the Yuan Dynasty to treat him!

Under such circumstances, the attendant made a decisive decision and entrusted most of the troops to an experienced and steady retainer, while he took the hostages, the injured young master and elite cavalry, and rushed back to the Daigo territory overnight.

Anyway, as long as you have this brat in your hand, you are not afraid that that "person" will not come to them!

200人都没能抓住他，确实有些棘手，但若是在醍醐之国，3(千(资%源!+群&中 转-{群.!7#4%62$_1|5.5{5[$9)

甚至能调集2000人以上的“大军”来围剿！三$千{资!源$+群)#中|^转 群|7'+4!6.$21 5")5[5.&9[

This is already a scale that can be used for national wars. It is a luxury to strangle a person, and it can be said to be foolproof.

"Young master, please cheer up!"

The attendant called out to Duobaowan who was in a coma with heartache, and led a group of people to ride back to Daigo Kingdom overnight.

But when he goes back, he will probably be shocked that the castle tower has become a terrace...

-

Twenty or thirty of the warriors brought by Duobaowan were killed by Hyakkimaru, and there were almost no injuries (Hyakkimaru's attack was a killer move), and more than a dozen elites were taken away by the attendants. The entire team probably remained About 150 people.

However, this team did not follow the order to return to Daigo Country, but after sending out scouts to find a nearby village, they began to quietly move towards that village...

Chapter 67 Chapter 57: Tengu?It's you, Weiming Yixin! (plus 3)

Ida Jujuro is the descendant of the Daigo family, which means that his entire family has served Daigo for generations.Therefore, his position in the team is second only to Duobaowan, and he is also the only person qualified to take over the army.

200 people may not seem many, but they are all soldiers who have received certain training, which is different from farmers who can be recruited anywhere.

Even for a regional power like Daigo, this is already a force that cannot be ignored. Once he is lost in this deep mountain, he will have no face to meet the lord.

However, he did not choose to return immediately, which seemed safe but actually had hidden disadvantages.

For one thing, they are now in another country's territory. If they don't want to be discovered and trigger a war, it's best to keep moving in the deep mountains and return to their hometown along the mountain trails.

However, such a march is very difficult and consumes a lot of supplies, and their reserves are obviously not enough.

Secondly, the morale of the team is too low...

Originally, they were dissatisfied because of the continuous high-intensity rush, but they barely suppressed it because of the identity of the young master of Duobaowan. Later, they fought against Baikimaru, which further dealt a big blow to them.

Casualties are still second... The main reason is that the fighting method of Hyakkimaru is too terrifying, and the body that can continue to move even if it is pierced is extremely weird. things fought.

It was right for the attendant to choose to turn back, because even if the pursuit of Hyakkimaru continues, the soldiers will have to say whether they are willing to contribute.

Now Ida Shigejuro faces the same dilemma: He must find a way to boost morale, if only temporarily.

Ever since, this experienced general made a very common choice in this era:

Collect supplies locally.

Of course, the means of "raising" is to rely on swords and guns rather than coins.

Food, money, and women are undoubtedly the things that can most directly boost morale. For generals in this era, this principle is the most basic art of war.In their cognition, there is no army that does not plunder.

When the scouts sent news that a village had been discovered nearby, Ida Shigejuro was overjoyed, because it meant that he would soon be able to cheer up the team.

Not to mention the people of other countries, even in Daigo, Ida Shigejuro would not hesitate in the face of such a situation.

"Master Ida, don't we go now?"

The team was stationed about two miles away from the village. For some reason, they were ordered to stop by Ida when they arrived here, so naturally there were soldiers who couldn't wait to ask.

Seeing the earnest expression of his confidant, Ida smiled condescendingly, and didn't answer right away—the necessary sense of mystery would win the awe of his subordinates.

It wasn't until the sun set and the moon rose, and even in the middle of the night, that the soldiers around were ready to move, and Ida smiled and explained the reason calmly.

"You idiots, do you think peasants are that easy to deal with?

They are indeed as timid as rabbits, and they can kneel down with just a casual yell, but sometimes they become brave and reckless, and even dare to attack the samurai.

Not everyone is as indestructible as that monster in the daytime... As long as they are hit, even if it is just a bamboo spear, they will be injured, bleed and even die.

Only in the middle of the night, when those cunning farmers are asleep, when we rush in, they don't even have time to resist, they will just run away like a group of frightened rabbits, and we can shoot calmly like hunters prey.

Then we will have their food and their women, and no one will lose their life.

You are all warriors of the Daigo family, and you are going to die for the patriarch, how can you exchange your life with a group of untouchables? "

"grown ups!"

"You actually value us so much..."

"My lord, I want to follow you all my life!"

"Woooooooo..."

Some soldiers were moved and even cried like children - as if they were not going to slaughter a bunch of innocent people.

In fact, Ida did this not only to buy people's hearts, but to be more secure.

Because in this era, there are not too few warriors who died at the hands of farmers... Those peasants who are usually cowardly, once they encounter a single warrior or a defeated soldier, they will turn into wild ambushes (bandits) and hunt warriors in turn.

Even, some great figures in history died at the hands of these peasants, such as Ming Zhi Guangxiu who was not yet born at this time, and King Li Zicheng...

Ida raised his head and looked at the sky: "Well, it's about time, ready to go out... eh? Hachiro, what's wrong with you?"

"My lord, I..." The soldier who was called by his name panicked, "My lord, I think it's a bit strange."

"Huh? Long-winded, what's the matter, tell me!"

"I... I haven't been able to find Hayakawa since just now... Has any of you seen him?"

"Go pee?"

"It seems to be heading towards that rock."

"But it's been a long time..."

"enough!"

Jing Tian suddenly yelled: "Qu Jing, it's unreasonable to mess up because of such a trivial matter, who the hell, hurry up and call that kid back!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers who were targeted quickly ran away to find their companions...

However, after waiting for a while, not only did Kuro not come back, but he also disappeared.

"Something's wrong..."

Ida's expression became serious: "Little ones, light the torches and illuminate my surroundings!"

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison, but before they could make a move, a black shadow suddenly came crashing down with the sound of the wind, hitting a bonfire in the middle, and immediately sent countless sparks flying, causing an uproar among the crowd.

"Ah!"

"what!"

"save--!"

Several mournful screams sounded in succession, and the shrillness of their voices was creepy.

Some people or ferocious beasts rushed into the team, and their ferocious attacks were often able to kill with one blow, and several people lost their lives in the chaos.

"Damn it! What the hell is it!"

The soldiers took up weapons and tried to kill each other, but their movements couldn't keep up with their rapid pace. Before they could formally fight, the opponent had retreated into the darkness with warm blood and completely disappeared without a trace.

"what!"

"This way! Over here!"
