River Tuluo Xian

Chapter 374 Iga Tribe
Walking across the beach, there are winding hills in front of you.

The girl's name is Toyotomi Maki, and she belongs to the Yamato nobles.

Her father is also the leader of the Iga region.

Half a month ago, the two tribes of Iga and Koga clashed and a bloody battle broke out.As a result, both sides suffered heavy casualties.

However, the Koga side has recently received the support of the Watanabe tribe, and the combination of the two has gradually tended to annex Iga.

In order to break up this predicament, the Iga Tribe came up with a way.

——Go to Tokushima and ask for help from the Tokugawa tribe.

However, alliances between tribes have always required the presence of the leader in person, and the alliance will be fulfilled.

But Iga Fang, if the girl's father, Toyotomi Izumi, leaves, then the Koka and Watanabe tribes will surely sneak in while they are leaderless.

But if Toyotomi Izuna didn't go in person, the reinforcements from the Tokugawa tribe wouldn't be able to invite them at all.

Under such circumstances, the Iga Tribe cannot afford to delay, and the more they delay, the less chance they have to fight back.

In order to solve this problem, Toyotomi Quanna made a bold decision-taking advantage of the night, he took a boat and wanted to cross the bay into the Tokushima area with only one personal guard.

The reason why the girl was brought was because of the sincerity of the covenant this time, to keep the girl there as a proton, and to marry as an alliance.

But who would have thought that the ship was attacked by pirates as soon as it left the sea.

Toyotomi Izumi brought only one personal guard here, and there were only 15 people in total. Naturally, they couldn't resist the opponent's preparedness.

Was caught off guard.

He failed to invite reinforcements, but instead cost himself his life.

Climbing over to the top of a hill, the girl Maki pointed at a flag waving in the wind from a distance. The flag was made of burlap and had the word "Iga" written on it.

"Enter there, and you will arrive at our Iga tribe."

She wiped off her sweat, it was already daylight.The girl under the bright light looks very fair, but she is not very tall, a little over four feet.

She is indeed not as delicate as a noble girl, but has quick hands and feet, like a scout who is often on the go.

"Jiang Sansen (Mr.), please follow me back to the tribe first."

Jiang Ling followed her like a horse watching flowers. After listening to her introduction, he asked, "Are you sure you want to go back like this?"

Toyotomi Maki looked at him suspiciously: "Is there something wrong?"

Jiang Ling was condescending, looking down at the small basin of the Pingchuan River below, and asked: "How many people know about your father's decision to cross the bay to Tokushima at night?"

Toyotomi Maki: "Not much, only my uncle Toyotomi Zenichi and my cousin Toyotomi Masaki know."

Jiang Ling: "In that case, you probably don't have to go back."

Toyotomi Maki still looked puzzled, and asked in broken Chinese: "Why?"

Jiang Ling smiled, although she looked mature, but mentally, she was still a child.

"It's possible that the Iga Tribe has changed their family."

Toyotomi Maki: "Jiang Sansen, what do you mean?"

Jiang Ling: "If only Uncle Ni and your cousin know about this, then there is a high probability that some of them betrayed your father. Otherwise, why would it be such a coincidence that your father was ambushed and killed by pirates as soon as he went to sea?"

Toyotomi Maki shook his head: "No...uncle won't, and cousin won't either. They won't do this."

Jiang Ling's face was calm, he only looked at the flag waving in the wind from a distance: "Then maybe, you can go back and have a look first."

Toyotomi Maki slid down the long slope and quickly entered the jungle.

After that, he picked a small path in the forest and rushed to the tribe.

She walked very fast, and every time she was afraid that Jiang Ling would not be able to keep up because she was walking too fast, she would look back at Jiang Ling.

But every time she turned her head, she was surprised to find that Jiang Ling was walking behind her unhurriedly, as if walking in a garden.

No matter how fast she walked, Jiang Ling's leisurely pace could always keep up.

After walking for a while, three people suddenly came across in the woods and fled here.

Behind those three people, there were crossbowmen chasing them, firing arrows like a rainstorm, overtaking the last one, and killing him.

The remaining two crawled and rolled, walking barefoot in the jungle, stepped on a thorn, fell to the ground in pain, and rolled into the grass.

Toyotomi Maki stopped, looked at the two people rolling down on the ground, and even recognized them.

Shouted: "Jing, Baihui."

The people who fell, a man and a woman.

The man is not very old, about seventeen or eighteen.

The woman is a little more mature, she should be in her early twenties, and she is the elder sister.She was wearing a dress with high slits, and her collarbones were very fair under her jade neck.

The man got up from the ground and hurriedly helped the woman up.

The crossbowmen behind caught up and quickly surrounded them.

The woman named Baihui looked surprised when she saw Toyotomi Maki here, and said something.

Maki also replied to her.

Zuo Jiangling couldn't understand what they said.

There were four crossbowmen. In their eyes, it was easy to deal with these children, so they wanted to capture them alive.

The leader made a gesture, and the other three surrounded him from left and right.

The young man named [Jing] suddenly roared, picked up a dead wood from the ground, and stood in front of his sister, trying to stop the three people who surrounded him.

But those three people laughed contemptuously, and one of them rushed forward, wielding a straight knife in his hand, and chopped the dead wood in [Jing]'s hand into two pieces with one blow.It even kicked Jing to the ground with one kick.

Toyotomi Maki yelled at the three crossbowmen,

The leader of the crossbowmen snorted coldly, pointed at Toyotomi Maki and said something.Then the three crossbowmen focused their primary targets on Toyotomi Maki.

After listening to Baihui's story, Toyotomi Maki seemed to know some truths.

Her delicate body trembled from the shock, and she almost fell to the ground.

But the danger in front of her also quickly brought her back to her senses, she took out a dagger, and handed it to Jiang Ling: "Jiang Sansen, please."

Jiang Ling took the dagger she gave him, nodded slightly, and then rushed forward with a long stride. With a flick of the dagger, puff puff, the necks of the three crossbowmen were cut off in an instant.

The three of them were stunned for a moment, only to feel a burning pain in their throat for an instant, and when they turned their heads, the wound burst open, and blood spurted out violently.

Seeing this scene, the leader of the crossbowman immediately let go of the arrows he had prepared long ago, and fired three arrows in a row.

Jiang Ling grabbed a stone with his left hand and hit it, knocking away all three arrows, and then, the dagger in his hand flew away, hitting the man right between the eyebrows.

One kill!

After all four of them fell down, the woman named Baihui was so startled that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear.

The young man named [Jing] couldn't help but blurted out: "Si Guoyi." (That's amazing)
The four crossbowmen had just died, and there were a lot of footsteps approaching from behind.

Baihui's hearing is very sensitive, her complexion changed drastically, and she hurriedly called Maki and Jing, telling them to escape from here quickly.

The young man named Jing was very sensible, carried his sister on his back and ran ahead.

Toyotomi Maki looked in the direction of the tribe, a look of sadness flashed in his eyes, and then he also said to Jiang Ling: "Jiang Sansen, let's go."
