PS: The recent exam month, everyone understands, it's not that I can't spare time to update, but it's close to the exam, it's annoying, I don't have much heart to write a book, I just finished an exam today, and the update of these days can barely stabilize it. ）

The land of the soup, the mansion of the lord of Lu.

"After all...... Still can't you escape?" Lord Yilu muttered to himself, a look of sorrow appeared in his eyebrows, "Brothers are like siblings, so why kill each other?"

A white-haired old man next to him half-bowed and said respectfully: "Don't dare to say anything." ”

Lord Yilu sighed, "Don't you even know?" or do you want to get involved in the matter between me and my brother?"

After pondering for a moment, Mr. Tsubaki said in a condensed voice: "I heard that the overlord of the sea, the country of water, has a rule between nobles and ninjas: ninjas in this village are not allowed to meddle in the disputes of domestic nobles, so the ninjas of Fog Hidden Village often go to foreign countries to receive assassination missions, this time the assassin who assassinated the Second Highness, from the perspective of the old man, is not an ordinary commodity, maybe the Second Highness can ask the people of the Fog Hidden Village to ask, and then make plans." ”

"And this kind of rule?" Lord Yilu asked, frowning slightly, "So if the nobles of the Water Country want to hire someone to assassinate their political enemies, where will they start?"

Mr. Tsubaki shook his head and said, "There is no official or underground way, any foreigner who dares to make trouble in the land of water, once discovered, will be executed on the spot!"

Lord Yilu can't help but lose his mind, this is the gap between large and small countries, the country of water prohibits all assassination activities on its own territory, but spreads the horror of assassination to the surrounding countries, which is extremely domineering.

"Then do it, Mr. Tsubaki, please help me introduce people from the Water Country, as soon as possible. ”

As the second prince of the land of Yu, although Lord Otoku lost ground in the battle with his brother, the eldest prince Otozun, the status of the prince is here, and it is easy to find someone, and soon, Mr. Tsubaki locked on to the target.

The rulers and supervisors of all the black markets in the coastal waters, the puffer fish ghosts of Watermelon Mountain!

Lord Yilu and Mr. Tsubaki changed their clothes, retired their attendants, and rushed to Shikoku Castle, and then Mr. Tsubaki came forward and invited the watermelon mountain puffer ghost out.

In a teahouse in the underground market, which mainly sells intelligence, the three quietly meet.

"It's really a rare guest, it's rare for a big person to be there, I should really be prepared in advance to greet His Highness. The puffer fish ghost smiled lightly and said, "I wonder why His Highness is looking for me?"

Lord Yilu flipped down his hood, took a breath, and said, "I want to know who appointed the assassin who assassinated me not long ago. ”

"That's it?" said the puffer ghost disappointed, "I thought that His Highness invited me here to hire a killer to fight back." ”

Lord Yilu said: "After all, it's my brother, I can't do that kind of thing." ”

"Really?" "The puffer fish ghost said with a smile, "The two sons of the Daimyo of Yunokuni, Lord Otozun and Lord Otoro, you are more loved by the Daimyo than your brother, so after the death of the Daimyo, in order to inherit the position of the Daimyo, your brother Lord Otozun will first have to eradicate you, not this time, and next time, until your body is sunk into the sea. ”

Lord Yilu was a little angry, and said, "This is a family matter! I just want to know who the instigator of the assassination is." ”

The puffer fish ghost smiled slightly, and said, "Do you need to ask? Of course, it's your brother." ”

Lord Yilu's face turned pale, and he lost his voice and said, "If it's really him...... Why? I'm already going to give it to him, why don't you let me go!"

The puffer fish ghost smiled and said: "You can't say that, according to the eldest and youngest, the one who inherits the position of the daimyo should be Lord Yizun, but you took a group of nobles to sea some time ago, I don't know what Lord Yizun will think in his eyes......"

Lord Yilu loudly defended: "It is precisely because I don't want to fight with him that I avoid overseas!"

The puffer fish ghost drank tea by himself, ignored him, and let him vent to himself.

"Damn! Damn!" Lord Yilu clenched his fists, his voice trembling, "It's too much! I'm his brother, why do you do this to me!"

The puffer fish ghost interjected at the right time: "Tell you a piece of information for free, the second batch of killers is about to begin, it seems that they were invited from the inland, I only know so much, you should be careful yourself." ”

With that, the puffer ghost stood up and made a gesture to leave.

"Wait!" Lord Elu hesitated, "I ...... I want to hire some, can you provide that?"

The puffer ghost turned around and said, "Killer?"

"No, bodyguard. ”

"Bodyguard, hahaha!" the puffer fish ghost laughed, "It's really naïve, your brother wants to kill you, but you are tied up for the so-called brotherhood, but in business, since it is His Highness's request, then I will not refuse, come with me." ”

......

Three days later, inside the palace of the Lord of Elu.

Mr. Tsubaki waited, his eyes scanning the on-hand maids, directing them to arrange the plates of exquisite dishes.

Outside the palace, two dark shadows slowly walked out of the dark corridor.

"Hey, I said, why did we go so far to do something in the land of Yu?"

"Shhhhhh This mission is not ordinary, and the commission is quite a lot, tens of millions of taels!"

"Oh yes, then we're going to have to do our best. ”

"Of course, we can't fail! The organization is in dire need of funding right now, and if we succeed in completing the mission, Yahiko and Nagato will be happy, right?"

"Come on!"

"Oh!"

Inside the house, Lord Yilu looked at the food in front of him, nodded and said, "That's fine, Mr. Tsubaki, you can come along." ”

"Don't dare. Mr. Tsubaki said softly, "Your Highness, please dine." ”

Suddenly, there was an inaudible touch outside the door, and Mr. Tsubaki's eyelids jumped, and he glanced at the door casually.

A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door, and Mr. Tsubaki walked up without waiting for Lord Yiroku's command, and asked through the door, "What's the matter?"

"Unusual movement was found, what's going on inside?"

"Very well, you guys continue to patrol. Mr. Tsubaki replied.

The man outside the door said, "Please open the door and let us check it." ”

Mr. Tsubaki's brow furrowed, and he grabbed the doorknob and pulled it open suddenly.

The door was open, and two guards in black armor stood opposite, and the one at the head bowed and said, "It's hard work." ”

Mr. Tsubaki stared at the two of them, and after a moment of silence, he stepped out of the way, "Come in, but be quiet, Your Highness is eating." ”

After the two of them entered the door, two kunai suddenly flew out of the darkness and stabbed at the guard's feet.

"Such a means, dare to take it out and be embarrassed!"

A person turned out from behind the stone pillar in the hall and sneered: "Mr. Tsubaki, please let people block the surroundings, these two people are just ordinary guards who are confused by illusions, and the manipulator should be nearby." ”

"I see, this time thanks to you, Mr. Keigo. Mr. Tsubaki was stunned, and then took out a whistle from his bosom and whined.

Suddenly, rows of lights outside the palace were lit, and it was clear in all directions, and neat footsteps sounded, and hundreds of guards poured out and rushed in all directions.

"Now it's okay. Mr. Tsubaki turned around and said, "Your Highness, please avoid it. ”

"Yes. Lord Yilu simply replied and put down his chopsticks.

At this moment, the two guards, who were believed to have been under the illusion, suddenly moved.

"Huh?" the bodyguard named Keigo was immediately drawn to his gaze.

A small ball wrapped in white tissue paper rolled down from the guard's cuff and bounced off the ground, gurgling and rolling.

The dense white irritating smoke filled the air, and Mr. Tsubaki took the brunt of it, inhaling a breath of mist, and then he was dizzy, rolled his eyes, and fell directly to the ground.

Kui Wu covered his nose with his sleeve and jumped out of the range of the smoke bomb in a backward leap to come behind Lord Otoro.

"Your Highness, be careful! The enemy does not know where. ”

Boom, boom! There was an explosion outside, and the orange light of the fire could be seen even through a thick layer of smoke.

"Is it a plan to lure the enemy?" said Kui Wu secretly in his heart, staring intently.
