Chapter 1007 [Chapter 6] 21
Then, he was mercilessly hijacked all the way outside the house by Miss Jiutiao.
As soon as he stepped out of the gate of the longhouse, he heard a burst of footsteps rushing towards him, and he couldn't help but feel happy!
Moreover, when he saw the situation clearly, he found that although there was only one person here for the time being, the elderly officer who was obviously in charge of tonight's patrol seemed to be very skilled-and, Miss Kutiao, who kidnapped him, knew this very well.
Now the scene froze there.
Although the guard Kotaro who had just knocked unconscious on the ground woke up again and ran out, it seemed that Miss Kujo didn't take him seriously.For the time being, all he can count on is the older junior officer in front of him—what's his name?
Xixiang tried his best to think about it from the road.But he felt that he hadn't seen this person in the past few days—maybe it was a wounded person who had just recovered?
He hadn't figured out how to deal with it later, whether to convince Miss Kutiao himself or wait for everyone to realize that something was wrong and come to the rescue—then he heard the man speak.
"Hijacking such an adult... What on earth do you want to do?!"
To Xixiang Congdao's surprise, he sounded a little shocked—and there was a hint of familiarity in his tone.
……Um? !Does this man know Miss Kujo—or rather, Miss Kujo's false identity, Geisha Yukiko? !
Xixiang Congdao's vigilance rose another eight degrees in an instant.
Then he heard Miss Jiutiao behind him laugh shortly, and replied: "...Of course I want to escape safely."
...She actually stated her current purpose clearly and plainly!
Xixiang was stunned for a moment, hearing that the man seemed to be choked by this terrible bluntness, and then he spoke quickly, as if trying to persuade her.
"...If this is the case, then don't do anything stupid! Put down the knife, let Master Xixiang leave safely, and then—"
Miss Jiutiao suddenly snorted, and the laughter sounded a little perverse.
"...Then, I can go to die, can't I?"
The man was severely blocked by this sentence, he was silent for a moment, his voice seemed to be hoarse when he spoke again, as if being so mercilessly doubted about his motives for speaking, how intolerable it was like.
"I'm not so despicable that I want to achieve the purpose of saving people by deceiving a woman." His voice sounded hard, as if he was very angry, but he was forcibly enduring it not to attack.
"You, you can't do whatever you want here... No matter what you want to do, you have to deal with it on the battlefield! If you let Master Xixiang go tonight—"
He spoke righteously, but the seemingly blackened and deep-minded Miss Kutiao didn't appreciate it at all.She laughed again and interrupted the man rudely.
"Without Cong Daoist's words, what can I do to ensure that I can escape safely?" She asked provocatively, and deliberately turned her wrist slightly.
The air was cool at night, but she didn't seem to feel the cold even though she was only wearing a muscular undergarment. The blade in her hand looked colder than the night wind, lying across Xixiang Congdao's neck.
Xixiang also understood from the Tao that if he immediately called everyone to chase her after he escaped, she would definitely not be able to escape from here.So he moved his lips slightly, thought for a while, and said in a low voice:
"I didn't want you to die, Miss Jiutiao...I can guarantee that no one will chase you and let you leave safely."
He smiled bitterly silently, then added after a moment's pause: "...you know, even if you kill me here, it's useless... whether it's for brother, for Okubo-sama, for the court situation or the war, it's the same ...If you keep me, at least my words here will still have some deterrent effect, and I can stop those people from chasing and killing you..."
What he said was very sincere and candid.He could sense that Miss Kujo seemed to be listening.
But the next moment she snorted softly.
"...If you don't have hostages in hand, you can easily overturn what you said...I don't believe you." She sneered, and then lowered her voice a little.
"...you have no credibility. What you have done in the past has proved this countless times—"
Xixiang said: "..."
He is now almost sure that this girl probably doesn't have much affection for Satsuma, but because she supported the family, and the owner—her adoptive father—finally chose to follow Satsuma's path, she had to be bound to Satsuma. One side went.
This can also explain why she was sent by the Sa army to deliver a letter to him, but she had no intention of mediating, and she didn't leave him any room.
He grinned, and was about to say something to explain his sincerity when he heard the man in front of him say decisively:
"If you absolutely need a hostage, let me take it."
Xixiang said: "..."
As if it wasn't his illusion, when the man finished the last word of this sentence in a deep voice, he felt the hand of Miss Jiutiao behind him trembling violently.
Xixiang said:! ! !
Ms. Kutiao, did you forget that you still hold a short knife in your hand, with the blade pointing up and just sticking to my throat? ? ?
Although he knew that the situation was urgent and it was not the time to complain, he couldn't help but click his tongue full of resentment in his heart.
He was thinking about whether it is possible to subdue this crazy-looking Miss Kujo and solve his crisis with the injured Kotaro and the man with a stronger aura who somehow is completely inconsistent with his military rank.
Then he quickly dismissed the idea.
This Miss Kujo is very strange.
Although being able to become the adopted daughter of the pragmatic Kutiao family must have extraordinary qualities, but the abilities she showed... are too much.
Her blade didn't stick to his throat blindly, but loosened and tightened from time to time, and the measure was just right, neither really stabbing him nor giving the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of.
This kind of exquisite control of the situation is completely unlike the ability that a young girl can possess.So... that mediocre Kutiao Zhongshun, what good deed did he do to take such a girl for his own use? !Such a person can't be cultivated by him, can he?Then where is she, what kind of people did she learn from, get along with, what kind of environment did she temper, and what kind of extraordinary experience did she have, in order to finally become such a... The one who shines?
Xixiang Congdao didn't know that one of the answers to his series of questions was standing in front of him.
He heard that Miss Jiutiao was silent for a moment, and then let out a ghostly sneer.
"...Interesting." She actually said that.
"What value do you have that you can be a hostage to me? Do you think you are worth enough to exchange for Master Congdao?"
Her questions became louder and louder, and before the last question was thrown, she laughed again - it was strange that Xixiang Congdao could hear a bit of sadness from it.
"...Are you so confident that you think you can be so important to me?!"
Xixiang said: ...? ? ?
...Although they were all stern questions, but it feels...something is not right? ?
The man opposite him also seemed to show a hint of surprise when he heard the words - as if he also felt something wrong with these questions.
So, isn't this just my illusion?
But the man didn't seem to be shaken by this subtle feeling, Xixiang replied loudly when he heard him from the road:
"I don't know what counts as important...but this is your best choice, Miss Kujo. Let Master Xixiang stay here to prevent others from chasing you. If you change positions, it is impossible for me to have Master Xixiang here Generally, everyone obeys his orders... And, if I'm not wrong, you were sent by Satsuma, right? If you kidnap Lord Xixiang, what will happen to that 'Master Xixiang'? What do you think?"
Xixiang did not move from the road.Miss Jiutiao who was holding him behind him didn't move, let alone speak.
They heard the man calmly add another sentence:
"Impulse will not help resolve the situation. If you really need a hostage for peace of mind... I will go with you."
Unable to tell which one of these words touched the nerves of that young lady, Xixiang Congdao felt her breathing stagnate for a moment behind him, and suddenly let out a low laugh.
"'Follow me'..." He heard her repeat the last sentence of the man opposite in a strange tone as if she was talking to herself.
Then, he suddenly felt that she strangled his neck suddenly, but his feet suddenly moved in a certain direction.
"...Alright." She replied loudly.
"You follow me to the edge of the camp, drop your knife and follow, and exchange yourself. At that time, I will let him go."
