Chapter 228 227. Reinforcements

[North Wind] There are many directions for improvement in Tisaya's hands, but the former dean of Arethusa considered that Lan En was mainly used in combat, so he strengthened the cold air permeability of this frost bomb.

The previous [North Wind] felt cold and similar to the winter in the north.

But now it's like winter in the south, the cold air will penetrate into the bones under the influence of the magic power of chaos.

Xiao is a well-trained ninja, and his endurance and will are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

But when even the joint effusion and ligament tissue between his bones and joints were attacked by the cold, pure willpower could not allow him to survive his physiological reaction.

Butterfly rushed up immediately and broke the owl's limbs, but what surprised her was that the molar poison used by ninjas to commit suicide was not found in the owl's mouth.

"No, no need to look for it."

The giant ninja admitted his failure and seemed quite calm.

"Everything I do, my goal is to become a noble being who can live until the end of time. Of course, I won't think of committing suicide. Life is precious."

Wolf and Lan En were confused. Butterfly seemed to understand, but didn't want to say more.

"I see. You don't have to confess to me. When the old man Yishin heard the news about your rebellion, even if he was already in cultivation, he would personally intervene."

"Yes." Xiao Xiao was trembling and laughing. "After all, they are all old friends who have died!"

When Lan En and the others dragged the owl out, the wolf immediately went to find Yu Zi who had been arranged in advance, and watched over her every step of the way.

It seems that because the two commanders of the Lone Shadows were killed, the remaining characters evacuated as quickly as possible.

Lan En left Kotaro and others on the wooden bridge in front of the inner house, but they easily repelled more than a hundred bandits who were entangled again, and did not encounter any danger again.

He turned around and advanced towards the inner house, easily wiping out the remaining small group of bandits.

Although the Hirata family's inner house is large, it has not been burned that much. After one night, everything that can be burned has been almost burned, and the things that cannot be burned are naturally kept.

The sky was getting brighter, the rain that had been falling all night stopped in time, and the roars and screams of humans killing each other gradually stopped.

The black smoke rising from the building made this morning miserable and confusing.

Only the water of Longquan River was flowing like before.

The surviving residents of Pingtianzhuang had endured so much suffering last night that most of them were staring blankly at the corpses and blood stains on the road.

There are also houses that have been burned to the ground, and neighbors who can no longer move.

When people suffer a severe blow, most people will not cry and howl, but will become dull.

But Lan En had nothing to do about it. He was sitting in the ronin longhouse in the castle town with Miko and Madam Butterfly.

This is one of the rare places in Pingtian Manor where people can gather for meetings.

Although Miko Kuro seems to be a small person, his long-term aristocratic education has made him understand what he should do at this time.

He first awarded rewards to his men who performed well in the night attack, compensated the families of the samurai who died in the battle, and stated that they would not take back their property.

The ronin who followed Lan En around and killed them last night were mostly beaming with laughter among the Ashigaru people.

Nogami Inosuke was sent to recuperate and will take over Nogami Gensai's post after he recovers. Kotaro was even made a lower-level samurai.

Last night, except for the things that were burned and the people and livestock that were killed, most of Hirata's property was not taken away.

Because Lan En and the team he led started from the castle town and cleaned up inside, and Pingtianzhuang was selected on a cliff when it was first established. Therefore, most of the bandits who were in the mood of robbing at that time were determined to rob.

No life flower.

All the belongings were lying with the body in Pingtian Manor.

In this era of Japan, it would not be considered decadent if the master's family still had a large number of people. What's more, there was still such a large amount of wealth and real estate.

When Pingtian Village is rebuilt, these materials will flow into the people. Now the villagers outside will even feel that their lives are easier.

Lan En was not in the mood to stay in the longhouse. Instead, he was more concerned about the civilians outside.

He watched as these people began to pick up the pieces after crying, cleaning up the mess, and trying hard to survive.

Human society spirals in the cycle of destruction and reconstruction.

Maybe it was destroyed by natural disasters, maybe it was destroyed by man-made disasters.

But as long as a person still wants to live, he will always have the courage and perseverance to start over.

Not long after, there was a movement of a large group of people outside Pingtian Manor.

This time, the patrol defense system temporarily reorganized by Lan En took effect naturally.

An ashigaru with a blackened face ran into the long house and half-knelt down in front of Miko.

"Sir, the master's reinforcements are here."

After these words, the people in the longhouse had calm expressions with a bit of anger.

Calm because the danger has passed, angry because the rescue was not successful.

Although they also knew at this time that there were heavy troops in the palace outside, and it was a rainy night that made it difficult to march last night. But knowing is one thing, and whether they have emotions is another.

Miko Kuro still had the demeanor of a general. He waved his hand to stop the whispers among his subordinates.

Her young face was full of seriousness.

"Gentlemen, I know what you are thinking in your heart, but what happened last night was both a natural disaster and a man-made disaster. We really cannot blame the owner for the delay in the rescue. Even if you are angry, please be patient for the time being in order to rebuild Pingtianzhuang in the future!

"

It is impossible for Hiradaso to be rebuilt without the materials and commerce of Ashina Castle.

After everyone heard the young master's sincere words, although most of them still pursed their lips, at least they stopped whispering.

So, Miko gave instructions to the ashigaru who was still half-kneeling on the ground.

"Open the gate, welcome the reinforcements, and bring the leader here."

"yes."

Not long after, there was another commotion on the street outside. It was the screams of the frightened residents when they saw the strange army.

A samurai with an old man's face, wearing a large samurai armor, a red robe with a red robe on his head, and an ox-horn pouch on his head, walked in with a long sword at his waist.

This man's height is about the same as Nogami Gensai, that is, close to Lan En. After wearing the horn pocket, he is even taller than Lan En.

The whole person looks strong and energetic, and looks very intimidating. It's just that the Jinhaori sticks to the armor due to the rain, which makes it a bit unsightly.

"I'm having a meal at the bottom of the mountain. Rescue is late. Please forgive me!"

When he saw Jiuro, he immediately sat down cross-legged, put his fists on the ground, and lowered his head deeply.

He seemed very embarrassed when he spoke. He probably saw the black smoke that had not yet dispersed from Hirada Manor. He also saw that Miko actually gathered people for a meeting in the castle town. It was obvious that the inner house was completely destroyed.

For a character who leads a team to help, it is too late.

"Is this the Seventh Gun - Yamauchi Shikibu Toshimori's nephew? Thank you very much for your help. Hirada Manor may need you to completely take over the defense for a while. We have no one left."

Norizen Yamauchi was surprised by Kuro's maturity and stability. But he soon returned to normal.

"It's me, please rest assured. I will definitely guard Pingtian Manor and won't let thieves take advantage of it again!"

So there was a lot of Japanese Mandarin talk, mutual compliments, and mutual loyalty. Even though the reinforcements on behalf of Ashina Castle were completed, the contacts with the Hirata clan were completed.

Lan En heard a lot of Mandarin in his own family, and now he found it quite interesting to hear Japanese.
