"Aqing, did you really see it?"

Jie Zheng asked anxiously to Ah Qing beside him.

"Yes. I can't see it wrong." A Qing, who put her hands on her eyes and squinted her eyes to look northwest, said in a deep voice, "The red and white Wu uniforms have a lot of splashes on them.

There were blood stains, there were no shoes or socks on the feet, and the bear was very big... The conditions matched perfectly."

At the end of Qing's sight, it was A-Machi who was rushing to the hotel.

The urban area where Omachi is located is almost empty of people, and there are almost no pedestrians except Omachi on the empty streets. Therefore, Omachi who is sprinting on this street stands out. Because of this, Aqing

It was only then that I noticed this particularly conspicuous red and white figure.

"Have you finally found her..." The introduction showed relief and joy, and then he quickly jumped off the roof of the house, "Aqing, please help us show the way."

A Qing: "I know."

Under the guidance of Ah Qing, Jie Zheng led his men to pursue Ah Ding.

In order to avoid being discovered by Amachi, Jiezheng deliberately kept a certain distance from Amachi.

Ah Qing's eyesight is very good. Even if the distance between the two parties is far, she can clearly see Ah Machi's position.

Apart from Jiu-Jitsu and marksmanship, Atachi has no other special skills. She is even worse at counter-tracking.

Atachi, who had never noticed anyone following her from a distance, entered the hotel under the watchful eyes of Ah Qing.

"Jie Zheng." Ah Qing, who was crouching on a big tree, immediately reported to Jiezheng Hui after seeing Ah Machi enter the hotel, "That woman has entered the hotel."

Jiezheng quickly climbed up the big tree where A-Qing was and squatted down next to A-Qing: "Which hotel?"

Ah Qing pointed forward: "It's the hotel with the plaque on the door that says 'Tianchi House'."

Jie Zheng looked at the hotel pointed by Ah Qing.

He looked like he was thinking, and after a moment of silence, he lowered his head and shouted to his subordinates waiting under the big tree:

"Ready to fight!"

Ah Qing was startled: "Jie Zheng, are you going to rush over and arrest someone?"

"Yeah." Jiezheng nodded and jumped down from the tree.

"That woman can kill Naganosuke, so her skills will definitely not be any worse."

Ah Qing quickly shouted to Jiezheng who jumped under the tree.

"So I think we should notify the formation first and ask the formation to send some reinforcements. While waiting for the formation's response, we can keep an eye on the woman's movements. This method is safer."

"That would take too much time." Jiezheng said in a deep voice, "Send an order to this formation and then receive a response from this formation. I don't know how long it will take after this back and forth. If the time drags on for a long time,

, it is very likely that something unexpected will happen.”

"And...if you ask for reinforcements from this formation, your credit will be diluted."

Jiezheng pursed his lips at this time, and then looked at Aqing with meaningful eyes.

"...I need merit now."

"Besides, I don't think we need to call in reinforcements to catch that woman."

Jie Zheng showed a gentle smile to Ah Qing.

"There are 46 musketeers under my command. Counting you and me, there are 48 in total. Even if there are the woman's companions in that hotel, they will definitely not be able to outnumber us."

"In terms of numbers, I have the advantage."

"Not to mention that our soldiers here also have an advanced flintlock rifle."

"Besieged by more than 40 musketeers among our Toyotomi army, only Toyotomi-sama, Yoshihisa-sama and a few others were able to escape unscathed."

After that, Jiezheng said nothing and led his more than 40 subordinates towards the hotel where Amachi was staying, which was only a few hundred meters away.

Ah Qing cast a puzzled look at Jiezheng's back, muttered "What's wrong with him?", jumped down from the tree, and chased Jiezheng's back forward.

These musketeers were personally trained by Army instructors from England who spent a lot of money to train them.

There was no need to explain how to give the order. After learning that the hotel in front was to be surrounded, the more than 40 musketeers immediately dispersed and surrounded the hotel from all directions.

When A-Ting discovered something strange outside the hotel, Jiezheng and his men had already completed the siege of the hotel, enveloping the hotel like a gradually tightening spider web...

…

…

"Ah, Miss Atachi-chan..."

At almost the same time as A-Machi, A-Zhu noticed a strange noise outside the hotel. When A-Machi opened a gap in the curtains and looked outside, A-Zhu quickly moved his head over.

After looking outside carefully...Azhu immediately became stammering when he spoke.

This was the first time in his life that A Zhu had seen such a scene with so many people holding muskets.

"Who are these people?"

"...Unidentified enemy." After saying this with an ugly face, Atachi suddenly closed the curtains, and then whispered in a volume that only she could hear clearly: "Was I being followed just now?

…”

Omachi pulled out some cherry blossoms from the Mariana Trench.

"Azhu, don't take your luggage for now. Grab your weapons and follow me. Let's go see if there are any enemies on the other side of the hotel."

Azuki, who had never seen any storms, was already in a helpless state, and followed Azuki out of the room with a confused look on his face.

The window of their room faces west.

A-Machi remembered that on the easternmost side of the corridor outside the room, there was a window facing the east.

After running out of the room, Azuki quickly led Azuki to the east end of the corridor outside the room. He followed the east-facing window at the end of the corridor and looked out at the east side of the hotel. There was also a lot of fire.

Gunner.

Seeing that there were people on the east side, Amachi looked for the windows facing the north and south, and found that there were enemies with musketeers in either direction.

Are you surrounded...?

A-Machi tightened her grip on the soyakura in her hand.

What happened to me tonight...Why am I always surrounded by people...

After some reversal, A-Machi and A-Zhu returned to their room.

"Ms. Atachi." Ashuku is now a little calmer, but there is still a strong look of anxiety on his face, "What should we do now...?"

Atachi, who pursed his lips tightly, did not immediately respond to Atzuki's anxious inquiry.

Because she doesn't know what to do now...

According to her observation just now, she and Azhu have been surrounded. There are enemies in the southeast, northwest, and southeast of the hotel. There are no less than 10 enemies on each side, and each one has a flintlock rifle...

She had previously relied on strategy and luck to escape from the siege of Bai Xiang.

And now, the number of people surrounding her is several times that of Baixiang and others just now.

Amachi asked herself that she did not have the skills to survive being surrounded by more than forty musketeers, and she did not have the ability to dodge bullets.

Cha Cha Cha Cha...

Footsteps are approaching.

These are the footsteps of the enemies approaching the hotel.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the anxious look on Azhu's face became more and more intense.

At the critical moment, Amachi's lips, which were tightly pursed, relaxed now.

She sat down cross-legged, and then took out the Fei Ying from the Mariana Trench, which she had not had time to reload.

"Azuki, grab your weapons and prepare to fight." As Machi said, he took out the gunpowder and projectiles and began to load the bullets into Feiying.

"Are we going to fight the enemy head-on?" Azhu's eyes widened.

"Of course not." A-Machi's reloading technique was very skillful and neat. While she was talking, she had already stuffed the bullets into the barrel of Feiying's gun. "We definitely have no chance of winning in a head-on fight with them."

"You can hide with me on the ceiling later. Hide on the ceiling."

"The enemies outside are coming for us. In order to catch us, they will definitely let people into the hotel."

"This gives us the opportunity to defeat them one by one."

"Let's wait for an opportunity to kill the enemies who rush into the hotel first. Reduce the number of enemies."

"The people who came in to arrest us were killed by us. The other enemies outside the hotel should be more or less panicked."

"At that time, let's wait for the opportunity to escape from here."

"But... there will definitely be many people sent into the hotel to arrest us..." Azhu hesitated, "With just the two of us, can we defeat all the people who rushed into the hotel...?"

"...Azhu, do you know? Ever since I followed Ayi and survived so many storms with Ayi, I have realized a very profound truth." At this time, Ating raised his head and smiled slightly at Azhu.

Smiling, he slowly said in a half-joking tone, "'In a crisis, whether you can seize the opportunity depends entirely on your strength and luck.'"

Bang!

As soon as A-Machi finished speaking, the sound of the door being kicked open came from the first floor of the hotel.

At exactly this time, Atachi completed the reloading of Hi Sakura.

"Azhu, come with me."

After temporarily stuffing Sozakura and the loaded Haizakura back into the Mariana Trench, Amachi took a small table next to him, stepped on the table, stood on tiptoes, moved the ceiling above his head, and then moved along

He went into the ceiling through the opened hole, and then stretched out his hand towards Azuki under the ceiling.

After hesitating for a while, A-Zhu gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand to grab the arm that A-Machi stretched out towards her, and climbed up to the ceiling with A-Machi's help.

The staff of this hotel haven't cleaned the upper level of the ceiling in an unknown amount of time.
