During the Warring States Period in Japan, when people talk about "Wind Forest Volcano", they naturally think of Takeda Shingen. After all, he hung these four words on his military flag as a symbol.

As for the source of these four words, I think many people know it is the six metaphors of "It is as fast as the wind, its sprint is as slow as the forest, its invasion is as fire, and it is as motionless as the mountain, it is difficult to know as yin, and its movement is as thunder as shaking", namely "wind", "forest", "fire", "mountain", "yin", and "thunder" that constitute this complete concept.

Tonight, the members of the "United Assassination Team" who came to assassinate Nobunaga were wearing six masks of different colors, divided into six teams: Feng, Lin, Huo, Shan, Yin and Lei.

Among them...

The white evil ghost mask represents [Wind] - the members of the wind team are basically ninjas, and their main responsibility is to sweep the security forces around the Huazhiyu Station as fast as possible.

Green Nuo mask represents [Lin]—The Lin team has the largest number of people and a mixed staff composition, from ronin to thugs to killers. Their duty is to cover the actions of other groups, and they will go wherever they need personnel.

The Red Tengu Mask represents [Fire] - The members of the Fire Squad are mostly strong men and strong warriors, who are responsible for launching frontal raids on the areas where the enemy is most harshly guarded.

The golden music mask represents [Mountain]—there is only one person wearing this mask. He is the number one master in this joint assassination team. With him there, it is equivalent to having a "trump card" to take charge.

The black road mask represents [yin] - the members of the Yin team are all wise men, street artists, and even thieves. There are not many people, but each of them has several unique skills, good at attacking the enemy and winning unexpectedly.

The last blue dance mask represents [Thunder] - the members of the Lei team are mainly warriors below the level. Most of these people come from those declining families. They are all skilled in martial arts and want to make a name for themselves with this ability. Their numbers are medium, their combat power is comprehensive and solid. They can be said to be the real main force of this assassination operation.

When you see this, someone will probably be curious: Who is the planner of this operation? If you can arrange the personnel from ten forces so well, you must not be an ordinary person.

We won't keep it here anymore, it's not difficult to guess anyway... That person is Ma Shan Chongzang.

It is worth mentioning that Shigezo would take on the responsibility of "action planning", and in fact, there are some selfish intentions in it... We all know that Shigezo should have come to Kyoto with three subordinates, Gengoro, Azhi and Kosuke, to participate in the mission. However, after experiencing various accidents, Gengoro died and Azhi was seriously injured. Although Kosuke was not seriously injured, he was still a child after all, and was not suitable for this kind of tough task... Then Shigezo would definitely not want his subordinates to die in vain.

Therefore, during the preparation stage of the mission, he took the initiative to stand up and proposed this plan called "Wind Forest Volcano", and tried to obtain on-site command of the operation.

Others thought: Shigezawa is a member of Takeda, and Takeda is one of the strongest of these ten forces, and maybe even one of them is not. In addition, Shigezawa's plan sounds good, and the command position is both a creditor and a blame position, which poses certain risks... After weighing the trade-offs, everyone agreed that Shigezawa would lead the action.

Then Chongzang took over the command without hesitation and arranged for Azhi and Xiaosuke to "warn" the movements in the city a few streets away when he was in action; he himself joined the "Wind Squad" and was responsible for leading the overall situation at a high place outside the Imperial Office.

But as the saying goes, no coincidence can be made. Perhaps it is because of the tacit understanding between the Supreme Ninja, the observation location he picked tonight was the same as the one Xiaomei picked during the day.

So, just as the six teams launched an operation at the same time and the Huazhi Imperial Hall was in a row, Chongzang happened to face Xiaomei Feiyuan on a roof near the Imperial Hall.

Table Tennis—

After a sneak attack behind him was blocked, the two of them jumped back and reorganized their situation.

Under the moonlight, Chongzang immediately saw Xiaomei's face. Although Xiaomei only saw a man wearing a white mask, after the confrontation just now, he had actually guessed who the other party was.

"HO~ It's really an unexpected surprise to meet again here..." After a brief surprise, Xiaomei spoke first.

But he hid himself, did not speak, and did not move further.

"I want to come now..." Xiaomei figured out a lot of things in just a few seconds, "It turns out that you and your subordinates came to Kyoto just to do this."

Chongzang was silent for a few more seconds before speaking in a solemn tone: "If you were me, what would you do now?"

"Well..." Xiaomei pondered for a moment, then said, "You are wearing a mask."

This was answering the question, but Chongzang instantly understood the other party's meaning.

"That's right." Chongzang said.

"Then I probably didn't see your appearance anymore." Xiaomei said.

"I didn't see it." Chongzang said.

"Then I'll leave here now, and no matter what your ending will be tonight, I will forget our conversation... What do you think?" Xiaomei continued, "Can you forget that I've appeared here?"

"Yes." Chongzang was also very satisfied with Xiaomei's proposal.

It is obvious that neither of these two people will be sure to defeat each other, and they have no grudges or grudges, so taking a step back is indeed the best choice.

Maybe someone is asking, is Xiaomei not concerned about the life or death of Sun and Huang?

Oh, isn't this nonsense? He has to manage it even if he wants to.

The previous raid of the Khasing Sect was a chivalrous act. At that time, they were in the dark and the enemy was in the light. They had the advantage of being able to advance or retreat. This was worth a shot. Now they were accidentally involved in a political assassination incident, and the two gangs of people in the Imperial Office have entered a state of combat. If Xiaomei forcibly rushed in to save people, the people on both sides would regard him as an enemy. At that time, they would probably have to let Shuangxie come to save him.

Therefore, Xiaomei might as well retreat quickly and pray that Shuangxiu can survive this disaster by herself.

"Oh by the way..." But before leaving, Xiaomei left a sentence, "Sun Sang and Huang Sang are also at the Oda banquet now. I think I should tell you about this... Then, there will be a date later."

After saying that, he didn't wait for Chongzang to reply and quickly left, looking as if he was afraid that the other party would change his mind.

But Chongzang was so nervous that he said...

He was not worried that he would break his promise when he said, "If you have the chance in the future, you will definitely repay your kindness." After all, this is a scene. Besides, since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness have a dilemma, just like he changed his loyalty to the sake of "righteousness", now he can still give up "righteousness" for "loyalty"... This will not put him in too much psychological burden.

The reason why Chongzang was really uneasy and frowned was that he vaguely felt that Shuanghui might become a variable or even a resistance to this assassination.

And his guess came true again...

At the same time, in the banquet hall of the Hanao Imperial House, Shuangji had easily helped the Oda Army's men to gain the upper hand.

For them, even the assassins of "Lei Squad" were just elite soldiers who were more powerful than the miscellaneous soldiers. They both seemed to be at ease when they were fighting with bare hands.

The enemy that is most threatening to Shuangxie is the guy wearing a black mask. Because when this guy was about to lose, he simply took off his mask and tried to sprinkle a handful of lime powder first, and then combined with the fire breaker and squirting wine to the room to get a fire AOE...

Fortunately, Sun Yixie is extremely sensitive to such evil moves. As soon as the black masked lime powder took action, Brother Sun used his small eyes that were basically immune lime powder to attack and scanned the other party's hands. He instantly guessed what the other party's second move was.

It was soon after that. At that moment, when Sun Yixie lowered his center of gravity and took two steps in a row, he was approaching the other party like lightning.

Just as the other party poured wine into his mouth and raised the fire slap... Sun Yixi raised his hand and slapped the fire slap into the other party's mouth.

Then, a "huh--" sound was heard, and a fire spurted out between the assassin's teeth and tongue, running straight into his face.

Otherwise, Brother Sun was still kind and righteous, he didn't let the other party suffer any more. A second later, he put a move of "creating something out of nothing" in the dragon dog boxing technique on the guy's chin, and used a nearly inch-strong palm lift to help the other party close his chin.

Although the other party's chin was broken at that time, his mouth was indeed closed. If the mouth was closed, there would be no oxygen in his mouth and the fire would be extinguished in an instant.

As for the guy swallowing the high-temperature wine into his throat, it was a very secondary problem, because before he could feel the pain from his mouth and throat, he was chopped to the ground by the Oda soldiers surrounding him and died under the knife.

Most of the other assassins who broke into the house ended up like this after being knocked down by Sun Huang.

What? You ask Shuang Xie why he was so active in helping Nobunaga defend against the enemy at this moment?

Isn't this obvious? We said last time that the assassins came in, just before the time when Hosokawa Takasuke personally finished serving Nobunaga's dishes; that is, Hosokawa is now near Nobunaga's seat... The assassins came in and chopped them up when they saw people, and even approached Nobunaga. If these two merits were ignored, Hosokawa would probably be cut to death, so the clues they were looking for the Nagata Bi would be cut off.

Therefore, the two of them were doing it all the time - they had already had a fight with these assassins, so they might as well just settle the matter completely.

After they were done, they sold a favor to Nobunaga, which not only resolved Nobunaga's temptation, but also allowed them to move more freely in the Imperial Office in the future.

“Ah—uh—”

As the last assassin who broke into the house shouted his death scream, the sound of chopping and slaughtering in the house finally stopped, and the rest were the breathing sounds of the Oda Army's samurai who had not yet calmed down.

At this time, Huang Donglai immediately discovered something wrong...

"The fighting sounds in the yard outside were even louder than in the house, why is there no movement now?" Huang Donglai, as the person with the best ear skills in the house, immediately became suspicious.

Nobunaga also showed a hint of nervousness when he heard this, because he understood that the group of soldiers wearing armored armored, equipped with long weapons and even muskets outside the banquet hall were much stronger than the retainers who were not wearing armored armored armored, and only wore samurai swords.

In the previous document, we also explained that in ancient times, troops with armor and without armor were two concepts. This gap was more obvious in Japan, where internal forces were not paid much attention to, or was closer to the real universe as we know.

Na Shigezang's original plan was to let the people outside drag the guards of the Oda Army, and then a small number of people broke through to the house within this time window to complete the assassination, rather than killing the entire Oda Army in the Imperial Site.

But now, when all the assassins rushing into the house were wiped out, there was no movement outside the house, which was very strange.

"Or... Brother Huang, go out and have a look?" Sun Yixie's replies were not beyond Huang Donglai's expectations at all.

"You stay in the house to cover me and protect everyone by the way, right?" Huang Donglai knew that Sun Yixie would definitely use this as a loan... as a reason to stay in the house.

"You are right, Brother Huang, it's up to you." Sun Yixie even admitted happily on his face.

"Hmph..." Huang Donglai snorted coldly, and then went out from the big hole in the wall.

There was a saying in his stomach, "If you have the surname Sun, please die." Although he didn't say anything, Sun Yixie seemed to have heard it and didn't care much.

A few seconds later, Huang Donglai had already passed through the hole in the wall, crossed the courtyard corridor, and stepped into the courtyard of the Imperial House of Flowers.

And at this moment, the scene that caught his eyes was not much different from what he imagined, but it was...

The cold moon shines among the clouds, and the frost night is slightly cold.

The bloody bones are in a mess, and people are slaughtered.

The man wearing a golden mask gently held a long and narrow samurai sword, standing alone among the messy broken limbs and corpses everywhere, as if waiting for something.

Seeing Huang Donglai approaching him, he just said coldly: "Is Nobunaga dead?"

"Die~" Huang Donglai replied loudly, and Nobunaga himself heard it in the room, "It's really dead, it's chopped up, and his real mother can't recognize it even when she comes, so you don't want to admit it, please go back with peace of mind."

"Ha..." The golden mask could naturally hear that Huang Donglai was lying. He just didn't expect that the other party was as calm as a master, but his words and deeds were so stingy, which made him smile with contempt.

Before the laughter was over, the golden mask had already swung a slash, and an invisible slash immediately flew towards Huang Donglai's throat.

If this move is hit, Huang Donglai will undoubtedly have a different body and head.

Of course, after seeing the corpses on the ground, Huang Dongzi had long known that his opponent was a person who could use such long-distance slashes, and he must be prepared.

The next second, Huang Donglai lightly picked up a ninja knife on the ground with his feet, and quickly swung the not-so-long weapon forward towards the opponent's slash.

Shine-

After a strange sound, the ninja knife flew out to the side and landed again.

But the slash of the golden mask was also resolved without a trace.
Chapter completed!
