Before anyone could react, there was the sound of a wooden mechanism being activated. Qin Yining quickly dodged to the side, but Jing Zhe was faster than her. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of her. Xiao Xue and the others followed closely behind.
The hundred guards also reacted quickly. In the blink of an eye, they had surrounded everyone.
With a "weng" sound, the rain of arrows whistled through the air. The guards immediately brandished their weapons to block the arrows.
After the first wave of arrows, there was a buzzing sound within a breath. Hundreds of arrows came from all directions. The guards of the Prince's Mansion waved their swords to block them. The broken arrows fell to the ground with a pitter-patter.
Ishikawa Kusei and his followers hid behind a tree. Seeing the enemy easily neutralize their ambush, their hearts were instantly drowned in despair.
It's over. What should I do now?
If they didn't attack, the journey to the cemetery would be smooth. Ishikawa Kusei could have just kowtowed and be done with it. At least he could have kept his life and had a chance to rise again in the future. But now their ambush had failed. How could the Water Swamp Country's two hundred people fight against the enemy's one thousand people?
And if he wanted to escape, where could he run to?
Ishikawa Kusei didn't know what to do. Just as he was about to panic, he saw the samurai and ninja following him from the corner of his eye. In a flash of inspiration, he suddenly pushed the person away.
"Bastard! How dare you do something behind my back! How do you want me to explain this to you?! "
The person he threw to the ground was the astonished Hiragana.
He didn't think that the same thing would happen again in front of him!
Hiragana's ninjutsu was outstanding. He was caught off guard. Now that he recovered from the shock, he rolled on the ground to avoid the blade. Half-crouched on the ground, he looked back at Ishikawa Kusei.
At this moment, Hiragana finally understood how Sakurai Hideaki felt that day.
No, maybe he didn't understand it completely.
Because he knew how Sakurai Hideaki was betrayed, he was more or less prepared. At least after a moment of shock, he had a feeling of "I knew it".
But Sakurai Hideaki was caught off guard and was ruthlessly stabbed.
He finally understood why Sakurai Hideaki gave up in the end and was willing to be a beggar for so many years.
This feeling of being betrayed by His Lord was really disappointing. What's more, Sakurai was truly loyal to Ishikawa Fusei.
Qin Yining immediately asked Gao Delai, "What are they talking about?"
Gao Delai didn't hear it clearly. He only heard the gist of it. "It's probably because Ishikawa Daimyo said that Hiragana betrayed him. Hiragana set up all the traps here."
Qin Yining sneered. "So that's how it is. He's using the same old trick again. When you encounter danger, you push your subordinates to take the blame. "
Xie Yue said mockingly, "To have such a master, it's really …"
Xie Yue and the others couldn't help but think that the person they followed wouldn't be so despicable.
Ping Bi Nao dodged again and again. Her body was as agile as a monkey, and her hand subconsciously gripped the hilt of her sword.
Qin Yining hurriedly said, "Don't let him attack. Otherwise, the blame will really fall on him. "
"Yes."
Ji Dashun immediately led Jinghu Wei to surround Ishikawa Fusei.
Ping Bi Nao was squeezed out of the battle. She let go of her sword and frowned as she looked in Ishikawa Fusei's direction.
At this time, Qin Yining had already approached under the protection of the crowd.
"He did something like this. Are you still going to cover for him?"
Gao Delai translated this to Ping Bi Nao.
Ping Bi Nao fell into deep thought. She rubbed the hilt of her sword with her thumb.
Ji Dashun led everyone to Ishikawa Fusei and his subordinates and pressed them against Qin Yining's shoulders.
The surrounding citizens waited for a long time but didn't see any movement. They circled around to take a look.
Seeing the ground full of arrows and the chaotic battle, the citizens panicked and retreated. In the end, when they saw Ishikawa Fusei and his men being captured, the citizens wanted to leave.
Ping Bi Nao suddenly shouted, "Why are you framing me! Don't tell me you want to use me as a shield, just like Sakurai! "
The sudden roar in a language they were familiar with immediately piqued the curiosity of the commoners. They could not help but stop and look into the forest.
Ishikawa Fusei's face turned red. He gathered all his strength and shouted, "Bastard! You're lying! "
"Sakurai took the blame for you back then. You didn't keep your promise today. On the surface, you promised to give Sakurai a grand funeral, but in the dark, you set up an ambush to ambush Sakurai's last master. This woman came all the way here just to give Sakurai a proper funeral. She didn't want him to have to live in a foreign land and bear the infamy!
"A woman from another country can be so righteous and keep her promise. As a daimyo, you use your subordinates as a shield time and time again! Who would dare to trust you when you do things like this?! "
Ping Bi Nao shouted in Japanese. In the quiet path and forest, the citizens heard her loud and clear.
When they were at the beach, some of them didn't dare to get close, so Ishikawa Fusei's words weren't heard clearly.
Now that they were close, everyone heard it loud and clear.
Everyone couldn't help but whisper in each other's ears.
Ishikawa Fusei's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. He raised his head and glared at Ping Bi Nao. "You're slandering me like this. Isn't that betrayal?!"
Gao Delai repeated Ishikawa Fusei's words to Qin Yining.
Qin Yining laughed. "Can this person be any more shameless?"
Xie Yue smiled. "This is Water Swamp Country's internal affairs. It's not our place to interfere."
"That's right." Qin Yining said. "I just want to give Sakurai a proper burial. I'm doing this for the sake of the citizens. I also hope that their daimyo will be someone who cares for the citizens, but it's not our place to interfere. Still, it's surprising that Ping Bi Nao would make such a decision.
”
Xu Weizhi shook her head. "What the Princess Consort said that day had already moved him. But because of his beliefs and status, he was still hesitant. Now that he's the one that Ishikawa Daimyo is pushing out, he'll come to his senses. "
Qin Yining told them everything that had happened when Xu Weizhi and Xie Yue weren't around, no matter how big or small.
Xie Yue also said, "Right now, let's take care of things here first. After all, we're in a foreign country. We still don't know how Wang Ye is doing. "
Qin Yining thought about what had happened in the capital, and his heart sank. He ordered the guards to depart with Ishikawa Fusei.
Ishikawa Fusei's face was ashen. Under the escort of Qin Yining's guards and the gazes of the citizens of Water Swamp Country, they arrived at the chosen cemetery. By now, everything was ready.
