Chapter 22: The Pursuers


After coming out of Yae-go, the twin continued their way east, heading towards their destination.What about Hayato......

After going through a few previous incidents, he has undoubtedly gained the trust of Shuangharmonic; So Sun and Huang discussed it, and directly revealed their mission to Hayato, and asked the latter if he would like to accompany them as a guide.After a moment's consideration, Hayato agreed; Anyway, he was wandering around looking for "work" to do, as long as it wasn't a hurtful thing, who would he do it for?

What's more, with his understanding of Shuanghuan when he was in Guangzhou, at least Sun Yihuan is very generous, and he will be a guide for this "Sun Bancheng", and the other party will never treat him badly after the matter is completed.Seeing this, some people may ask, Hayato, as a Japanese, didn't he feel entangled in taking this job?

Of course, there is nothing to worry about, because the purpose of Sun and Huang's trip is just to "go to a certain daimyo to get back a treasure stolen by the other party from the Central Plains"; If the roles of the two sides were reversed, and it would be Hayato who came to the Central Plains, it would be like he wanted to get back a jewel from the prefect of the Central Plains that the other party had stolen from the Heavenly Emperor......

This kind of thing has not risen to the point of being entangled for nationality.Hayato is not a subordinate of any daimyo, he is a Japanese charlatan, those daimyo were stolen, robbed and even killed, what is his business?

It's better to say that these daimyo will die sooner so that the war will end sooner.What can really make Hayato entangled in his Japanese identity has to be something bigger, such as Sun Yihe and Huang Donglai to say to him today: "We were ordered to assassinate the Japanese emperor." ”The Hayato must consider the issue of national position in addition to friendship and interests.Of course, if it was really that kind of mission, no matter how much Sun Huang trusted Hamato, he would not find fault with him, a Japanese.To make a long story short, after Hayato agreed to be a guide, the three of them immediately set off together.And the speed at which they travel has taken a huge leap forward.First, Hayato is not Keijiro's kind of "the most beautiful boy in the audience" everywhere he goes, he is relatively low-key in appearance and work on weekdays, and if it is not necessary, he will not cause additional trouble.Second, although Hayato's "combat effectiveness" is average, his yin and yang divination and feng shui secret techniques are all good skills, in Japan, where there are mountain roads everywhere, as long as he puts a few small paper figures and paper cranes......

You can know which direction is easy to go and when the journey will go smoothly.With such a person as a guide, the journey of the three of them was twice as effective with half the effort and smooth sailing.Over the next few days, they advanced at least three times as fast as before, and with little danger, they crossed the confrontation zone between the Mori clan and the Niko clan and reached the Kobe realm.Kobe, an important gateway to the southern part of Hyogo Prefecture, is known as "Hyogo no Tsu"; It faces Osaka Bay and borders Osaka Castle to the east, and a little further northeast from Osaka is Kyoto, where the emperor is located.Obviously, this is a battleground for soldiers.And because it is a battleground, it has become a "terrible place".At this time of year, Kobe has Asai and Rokkaku in the east, the Miyoshi clan in the southwest, the Matsunaga clan and the Hatakeyama clan in the southeast, and the Urakami clan, which is weak but the closest to here and the most important here, is staring at the Urakami clan in the west.This kind of area, which is sandwiched between a bunch of large and small forces, is basically the place that best fits the description of "hell on earth" in Japan's Warring States period.Villages and ports that were once inhabited are now deserted houses and fields.Every inch of the soil here seemed to have become a battlefield stained with blood, the air was filled with the smell of corruption and blood, and corpses of varying numbers and degrees of decay could be seen everywhere along the roadside, some of them wearing armor, weapons falling from their hands, some of them in tattered clothes, and even unclothed; And the gender and age of these deceased are also men, women, and children, and some of the deaths are extremely miserable, which makes people can't bear to look at them suddenly, let alone imagine what happened to them before they died.It can be said that Kobe, in the winter of the second year of Motowa, is a veritable land of dangerous death, a killing jungle.The people who are still active in this land are either crazy, or have to come, or have ulterior motives......

In the case of Sun Yihe and Huang Donglai, it is obvious that they belong to the latter, because the names of places and people written on the notes they got from Kogoro are: "Kobe" and "Xiaomei" respectively.Of course, they didn't know that this was the case in Kobe before, according to the impression of Sun Huang and the two modern people, this place should be a good place to eat beef, and they can also taste the food by the way.As a result, after leaving Yaego and making Hayato a guide, Hayato asked where you were going, and Sun Huang replied that he was going to Kobe, which startled Falto......

At that time, seeing Hayabusa's shocked look, Shuang Harmonic learned that something was wrong.But even if they know the situation in Kobe, they should have to come, after all, this is their only intelligence line, and if it is broken, it will be gone.Moreover, the name "Xiaomei" also made Sun Yihuan have a trace of fantasy, he thought: What if the connector is a beauty?

Isn't that ......

Do you need someone to protect you?

Then as a "chivalrous man", he is duty-bound.So, the three of them came to Kobe, a land ravaged by the war beyond recognition, and found an empty house that night without people.Before entering the house, Sun and Huang also placed a bunch of "stone codes" on the ground outside the house that Grandpa Wei taught them before leaving, and then they waited.Hayato thought that they would have a more specific joint, but he didn't expect that it would end up in the form of placing a code on the ground and waiting for the rabbit, so after resting for a while after entering the house, Hayato asked with doubts: "Brother Sun, Brother Huang, what are you looking for this time......

Are you sure it's just 'one person'?

”was asked by him, Sun Yihuan didn't react yet, but Huang Donglai quickly understood: "Hmm......

I wondered too. ”He paused, "I thought that Kobe was a place with a lot of people and a lot of people, if so, then we just need to find the most lively inn in the local area, and then put a joint code near the inn, it shouldn't be difficult to be discovered; But now take a look here......

There are deserted houses and wastelands everywhere, and there is not half a figure of people......

If there's only one person in contact with us, where can you find us?

Kobe is so big, how do they know where we are staying?

This 'Mei' can't always patrol all the houses around the Kobe boundary every day, right?

”"Oh?"

Sun Yihu listened to Huang Dong say this, and also followed the train of thought, "In this way, the other party may really be more than one person, but a small organization composed of several people, and the people in the organization are each responsible for a certain area of Kobe......

Seems more reasonable?

”"Indeed."

Hayato continued, "But such organizations, as far as I know, usually don't work for just one party, they usually act as neutral intelligence mongers, and at the same time maintain cooperative relations with multiple forces, and ......

The organization that dares to entrench itself here in Kobe will never be composed of good men and women......

"Huh......

That's nothing. ”Sun Yi smiled evilly, "Aren't they just some 'bad women'?"

Brother can hold it. ”"Uh......"

Hayato looked puzzled when he heard this, "Brother Sun, how do you know that the other party is a woman?"

”"Isn't that nonsense?

Can the person called 'Xiaomei' still be a man?

”Sun Yi said humorously.Huang Donglai saw Sun Yihuan's virtue, and knew that this kid didn't hold back his fart, so he immediately said to the side: "Hmph......

According to Brother Sun's meaning, if there were any Xiaolan, Xiaozhu, and Xiaoju on the other side, it would be better, wouldn't it?

”"Hahaha......"

Sun Yixiang laughed for a while, but immediately said with a question mark on his face, "Huh?

What does this have to do with Xiaolan?

And what about Conan?

”Obviously, Brother Sun didn't know the statement of "Meilan Zhuju"."

Forget it, forget it......"

Huang Dong came to see that the other party was immune to his ridicule with the power of illiteracy, and he was also big.But at this time, Hayato suddenly picked up a sentence, but it was a big blow to Brother Sun: "Brother Sun, although I don't know what you said about Conan and Xiaolan, but there is something I feel you have misunderstood...... " He continued in a tone that was not a joke at all, "In the Central Plains, 'Xiaomei' is a girl's name nine times out of ten, but in Japan, it may just be a surname, for example, there is probably a man named Xiaomei Gangzaburo, then he can also be called Xiaomei." ”"What?"

As soon as Sun Yihuan heard it, his voice suddenly sharpened, and "Mother's chicken ......" followed by the scolding street fetish also came out, "Why do you have so many names in Japan that lack morality?"

It's so easy to misunderstand!

”It was evident that he was disappointed, and it was clear that he was ......

In Brother Sun's cognition, "harmful" is also a "name lacking in morality"."

Hahahaha......"

Huang Donglai couldn't help laughing out loud as he listened to the conversation between the two, "Brother Sun, is it possible that it's not the name problem, it's your problem?"

Hahaha......

Oops, no, my stomach hurts from laughing, you guys talk first, I'll go. ”Huang Donglai's words to resign and go to the toilet while talking and laughing can be described as extremely silky, and the turning and undertaking are all smooth, and when the words fell, he had already turned around and walked out of the room.As we said earlier, the outside of the house is also desolate, Huang Donglai can solve it wherever he wants, in the middle of the road, of course......

In this winter, as the saying goes, the cold wind blows, and the wind blows the farts and buttocks, Huang Donglai still went to find a small forest nearby to drill, so that after the solution, it is also convenient to grab a few leaves.In the next ten minutes, let's use "spring breeze once" to omit some indescribable things between men and women, and use "comeback" to omit what Huang Donglai did.Let's say that his cat was in the woods, and when he was finishing, he suddenly saw a person near the house where Sun Yihe and Hayato were.Moreover, it was really a woman.This woman, Huang Donglai has also seen, she is the female ninja that Shuang Harmonic met at the port of Shimono before, that is, Ah Zhi, a subordinate of Nama Shan Shigezo.At this moment, Ah Zhi was walking alone in this desolate place, not only did her look and steps seem hurried, but her right hand was always covering her left ribs......

At first glance, it looks like he is injured.Although I don't know what she has experienced, and I don't know if it is a coincidence that she appeared here, Huang Donglai can guess from experience - behind this woman, I am afraid that there will be pursuers.………… At the same time, three miles away.The two white-clothed monks stood on the edge of a mountain cliff, looking at the small figure of Ah Zhi in the distance, with unhappy expressions on their faces."

Because it's a woman, it's careless."

After a while, the slightly taller white-clothed monk was the first to speak, "I didn't expect that she was the most powerful of the three. ”"Hmph......"

The white-clothed monk who was shorter than him on the side snorted coldly, "It's not that you guys have lust for her to let her get a chance to escape?"

”"Huh......"

The tall monk was even more annoyed and angry when the other party said this, "It's all because the man desperately dragged me that it was like this......

Otherwise, no matter how careless I am, this woman won't be able to fly out of the palm of my hand......" he said, turning his head sideways and looking behind him with his peripheral vision.At this time, under the slope behind the two of them, there were ten black-clothed monks, or ten "corpse puppets" controlled by the two of them.Of the ten corpse puppets, five were standing still at the moment, and one of them was carrying an unconscious little boy on his shoulder.The other five corpse puppets were gathered in one place, using the nagina knife in their hands to frantically chop a man who was already lying motionless on the ground."

Say whatever you want......"

The short monk seemed unfazed by the cruelty, but continued in a calm tone, "but the woman's escape is a fact, and even if you chop up the man's body to vent your anger now, it is better to catch up with her, do what you have not been able to do just now, and then kill the woman as well, and then go back to join the others." ”As he spoke, he turned around and was about to leave, "Anyway, I'll go back with that little ghost first, this kid should also be a ninja, a good seedling, I think the sect master will be happy to see him." ”"Wait!"

When the tall monk heard this, his face immediately changed, and he turned his head to stop the short man and said, "It's obviously the person we arrested together, do you want to take the credit for it alone now?"

”"Heh......"

The short man sneered when he heard this, although he paused, he didn't look back and said, "I said when I caught them this morning, according to the custom, the children will be kept alive and brought back, and the other two will be killed on the spot.""

But you don't mean to say, 'These two are not ordinary people, and they may be able to ask for some valuable information if they stay alive.'""

Actually, I already guessed what your idea was at the time, but I didn't expose you; I thought it was funny to think that you deliberately left the man unkilled in order to hide your little care......

"Originally, I didn't want to talk to you about this kind of thing, because I knew that you would kill those two people immediately after you were done, and there was no difference in the result.""

But I didn't expect that after I left for a while, you let people run away......

Fortunately, I am in charge of that little ghost, and if even he runs away, then your responsibility will be much greater than it is now."

I didn't report this matter to the sect master, and the punishment for you was already based on your friendship, and you still want to share the credit......

Isn't that a bit excessive?

Xuanqing?

”Xuan Yan was speechless, so he could only grit his teeth and swallow this breath: "Okay......

Forever, with you, I have written down your 'kindness'. ”"Hmph......"

Yong Gen didn't take the other party's gritted "thanks" seriously, but just replied, "Then I'll go first." ”With that, he took another step and left down the slope.After Yong Yan led the five corpse puppets under his control and carried the ninja Xiao Zhu away, Xuan Qian, who was standing on the edge of the cliff, turned his gaze back into the distance and landed on the deserted house that Ah Zhi walked into, and there were still words in his mouth: "Woman, today I will let you know that my Xuan Qian's methods are ......"

Before the words fell, the five corpse puppets controlled by Xuan Qian had quickly gathered around him, and then ......

And they jumped down the cliff with him.This cliff is not so high, and the distance from the ground below is about ten meters, Xuan Qian and his corpses fell from this height, all standing steadily, looking at ease.And after landing, they immediately unfolded a "human" formation, and rushed forward like a line of geese on land, quickly approaching the place where Shuang Harmonic and Hayato had landed.
