Chapter 4: Wild Ambush

Chapter 4

At dusk, Su Hao and Ella left Konda Village. They wanted to return to Inazuma Castle as soon as possible.

If nothing unexpected happened, they would probably reach Inazuma Castle just after the sun went down.

But the accident happened just like that.

As we all know, since the release of the national lockdown order, the quality of life of the people of Inazuma has dropped by more than one level.

And Lei Yingxiong is aloof in the Pure Land, and General Lei Dian basically doesn't care about anything. Now the three magistrates have the real say in Inazuma.

These three magistrates are naturally the community magistrate, the Tenryo magistrate, and the Kanjo magistrate.

The community magistrate is weak now and cannot participate in most things. Only sacrificial activities and celebrations and entertainment projects are their turn to appear.

The Tenryo magistrate and the Kanjo magistrate are thriving. Not only are they united with other Inazuma families, they also have the authority to issue "passes" during the national lockdown order.

Because of this, except for the nobles who can eat a little better in Inazuma now, other people, or civilians.

Life is getting worse day by day, and because of this, Inazuma, which originally advocates martial arts.

There are more and more wandering samurai, who rob houses, hijack caravans, rob the territory of the hill people, and so on. The ronin basically does a lot of things.

Now, Su Hao and Ella met the ronin.

In front of them, there are seven wandering samurai holding katana, staring at the two of them with red eyes.

The leading ronin stared at Su Hao and Ella at this moment, and he couldn't help laughing and said: "A handsome boy with tender skin and flesh, and a maid next to him."

"That's right, it's this guy, this is a big fish! Catch that man! Our brothers don't have to sleep in the wind and rain."

The other ronin were also very excited. They didn't expect to catch a big fish this time. They immediately took action and surrounded Su Hao and Ella.

From their skilled movements, it can be seen that this is not the first time that these vagrants have done this.

Hearing the words of the ronin, Ella frowned slightly. She walked forward calmly and stood in front of Su Hao.

Even though he was surrounded, Su Hao was not panicked at all. Instead, he looked at the leading ronin with some strangeness and asked, "Do you know me?"

"How could I not know him?" The leading wandering warrior was obviously very happy. He looked at Su Hao and replied, "You are a well-known fat sheep."

"As a noble, you don't have guards when you go out, so you can only bring a maid. It is said that you have been doing business with those foreigners from the International Chamber of Commerce recently. You must be carrying a lot of Mora."

As soon as the voice fell, the wandering warrior leader moved, and he swung the sword in his hand and slashed at Ella.

At the moment when the wandering warrior leader took action, the other six wandering warriors also moved.

They thought that Su Hao might have no fighting ability, but that maid was different. The other party was very likely a combat maid specially trained by the nobles.

Therefore, while the wandering warrior leader was talking, he decisively chose to sneak attack and get rid of the maid first, so they would accept this fat sheep with a smile.

"…………"

Ella did not speak, she stretched out her hand, and a light blue light flashed on her ordinary chest.

A large sword made of condensed water appeared in Ella's hand, and she suddenly leaned down to avoid the opponent's attack.

"Shua-!!!"

Accompanied by a flash of blue light, the wandering warrior leader's head fell to the ground.

Until his death, the wandering warrior leader still kept a grim smile, as if he had seen what he would look like after the sneak attack.

One move, just one move, the victory and defeat were decided, which made the wandering warriors around him widen their eyes.

"Boss!!!!"

"Eye of God?!"

"Catch that man first!"

The other wandering warriors did not retreat, because they had also fought with the holder of the Eye of God.

But this time, the holder of the Eye of God was a bit terrifying. They didn't see how she swung the knife.

Facing the wandering warriors rushing around, Su Hao didn't panic at all. Instead, he looked at Ella in front of him and said calmly: "Leave him alive. We have to investigate the information leak."

"Yes, Master."

Ella nodded, turned around, and the water sword in her hand disappeared, replaced by dozens of water flying knives.

"Shua--!!"

With Ella's slight swing, dozens of water flying knives rushed towards the wandering warriors.

The wandering warriors looked at the flying knives flying towards them, and subconsciously raised their swords to block and defend.

But they never expected that these water flying knives collided with each other in mid-air, and each changed its direction. The originally clearly visible lines.

In the blink of an eye, it became very complicated, which made the wandering warriors look quite shocked.

They were used to fighting in close combat with others, and they had never seen this before.

"Puchi Puchi Puchi——!!"

The flying knives condensed from water instantly sank into the bodies of these wandering warriors.

In an instant, five of the six wandering warriors who were aggressively surrounding Su Hao died, and the other one was bleeding profusely, his eyes full of fear.

What kind of monster is this maid? ! Is she just the holder of the Eye of God? ! How is this possible! ! !

"Leave only one alive." Su Hao turned around and looked at the surviving wandering warrior. He scratched his head and looked at Ella helplessly and said, "Can't you leave one more?"

After dealing with the enemy, Ella said calmly, "Next time, Master."

Seeing Ella's perfunctory attitude, Su Hao didn't say much, but approached the wandering warrior, looked at him and asked, "I'll give you two choices."

"One, tell me how you got my information, and I'll send you to Inazuma Prison."

Before Su Hao finished speaking, the surviving wandering warrior hurriedly said, "Two, two, two!!! I won't go to prison!! And I'd rather die! Not reveal... Wait?! Don't come over!!!"

When the wandering warrior said two, Ella silently stepped forward with a water sword in his hand.

Su Hao also shook his head with regret, looked at the wandering warrior and said: "The second way is that the scenery here is beautiful and it is very suitable for your burial place."

"!!!!" The wandering warrior looked at the maid Ella who was walking towards him.

She was wearing a white maid outfit, but now the wandering warrior felt that she was like a demon from hell, trying to drag him into hell.

"I'll tell you!! I'll tell you!!!" The wandering warrior immediately changed his words. He looked at Su Hao and said hurriedly, "I choose the first way."

Su Hao looked at the wandering warrior like this and joked, "Didn't you say that you would rather die than reveal it?"

The wandering warrior glanced at Ella, who had no expression on his face, and said bitterly, "Isn't it that you are not dead yet? It's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. I'm just being polite and showing that I have dignity."

"I didn't expect you to play by the rules at all. Generally speaking... ah!!!"

While the wandering warrior was talking nonsense, Ella put the water sword on the other's neck and said expressionlessly, "Don't talk nonsense, tell me quickly."

"I'll tell you! I'll tell you!!!" Feeling the coolness coming from his neck, the wandering warrior told everything.

Chapter 5 Deliberately Targeting

Chapter 5

The surviving wandering warrior told everything he knew. Why did they know about Su Hao's existence?

The reason is very simple. In recent years, these wandering warriors, or the noboris, have bought some information from a mysterious person.

The mysterious man, wrapped in a black robe, never showed his face, but he did have very complete information.

The information on the nobles in Inazuma Castle, their recent departure time, what they did there, how many people were around them, etc., were all written in detail.

Several groups of people, after obtaining information from the mysterious man, secretly did several big deals, thus getting rich rewards, and no longer lived such a miserable life of licking blood on the tip of a knife.

After seeing others get benefits, these wandering warriors were naturally tempted, and they also found the mysterious man and obtained information from him.

And then... there was nothing else, they were now wiped out.

"In other words, you have set your sights on me?" Su Hao's expression seemed a little strange.

Ella narrowed her eyes slightly, and there was a different look in her eyes, and it was obvious that she was thinking about something.

The surviving wandering warrior cried out in injustice: "We didn't set our sights on you. We came here this time... just to pick some violets and raspberries to eat."

"Who knew you would appear here? The boss said you were a fat sheep, probably because of the intelligence that you are the easiest to bully."

The wandering warrior still felt a little aggrieved at this moment. They came here just to pick violets and raspberries to fill their stomachs.

As a result, they saw Su Hao and Ella on the way, and they became malicious and planned to retire after this job.

Unexpectedly, the seemingly weak maid was so strong, and she was also the holder of the Eye of God. If this was in the intelligence, the boss probably wouldn't be so crazy.

Hearing this, Su Hao finally understood. No wonder these wandering warriors didn't squat nearby to ambush him. It turned out that they came here to collect food and happened to meet him and Ella.

"Where is the information?" Ella looked at the wandering warrior and said in a very cold tone: "Hand him over quickly."

"I don't know." The wandering warrior showed a blank expression. He looked at Ella's increasingly dangerous eyes and hurriedly said: "The information is on the boss, the one whose head you chopped off at the beginning."

"The boss may have the information. If he doesn't have it, I'll take you to our temporary residence to look for it."

The wandering warrior spoke very quickly, fearing that Ella would kill him with one knife.

Listening to his words, Su Hao came to the wandering warrior whose head was chopped off at the beginning, fumbled on him for a while, and successfully obtained a small bag of Mora and a rolled up paper.

Su Hao opened the rolled up paper and read it for a while. The content on it made him frown slightly, and then he put it away without making a sound.

"Master."

At this time, Ella left the wandering warrior and came to Su Hao's side, looking in a certain direction.

Seeing Ella like this, Su Hao understood that someone was coming.

But this is normal. This is an official road, which is the only way to enter or leave Inazuma Castle.

Therefore, it is normal for someone to come here.

Su Hao also looked over there, and found a girl with a red Tengu mask on her head, staring at the two of them with a very calm expression.

The person who came was Kujo Sara.

There were seven or eight soldiers of the shogunate army around her.

"What happened here? Su Hao."

Kujo Sara led the soldiers of the shogunate army and walked over.

Originally, she was planning to go to Bayun Island to investigate the rebels, but when she just left Inazuma Castle and passed by here, she smelled the blood in the air.

As a result, when she came to check, she saw Su Hao and Ella, as well as several ronin lying on the ground.

"As you can see, they wanted to rob me, but they were killed by Ella." Su Hao made a helpless expression, and he pointed to the wandering samurai next to him and said, "Since you are here, then he will be handed over to you."

Kujo Sara nodded, and she glanced at the soldiers next to her.

Without Kujo Sara saying much, two soldiers of the shogunate army walked over and captured the wandering samurai.

The wandering warrior did not resist, and even took the initiative to cooperate, because the shadow left by Ella just now was too big.

He wanted to leave this place immediately and stay in prison, which was better than staying with this maid!

Kujo Sara looked at Su Hao, and she said in a very calm tone: "Are you going back?"

"Otherwise, it's getting dark now." Su Hao looked at Kujo Sara, and said helplessly: "I wanted to go home to take a shower, eat and sleep, but I didn't expect to encounter such a bad thing."

"If it weren't for Ella, I would probably be kidnapped by these ronin."

Hearing Su Hao's words, Kujo Sara's mouth curled up a little, and said with a smile: "You? Although I don't know how strong you are, you are not something these ronin can deal with."

As a friend, Kujo Sara knew very well that this seemingly harmless master and servant had quite amazing skills.

And she was one of the few people who knew their strength.

Kujo Sara looked at Su Hao and Ella, and she said seriously: "How about my last proposal, what do you think about it?"

Hearing this, Su Hao's face fell, he waved his hand, and quickly refused: "No, I don't want to join the Tenryo Bugyo, I am a member of the Society Bugyo, Sara, don't think about winning me over."

Yes, Kujo Sara's proposal was naturally to let Su Hao and Ella, two masters with great skills, join the Tenryo Bugyo, or the Shogunate Army.

After all, there are too few masters, or capable people, in the Shogunate Army now.
