Chapter 390: Okamoto Village
The fireball caused by the rune power burned quickly and was not easy to extinguish, so the fire spread quickly, and when the three of them went down to the square downstairs of "Jijiang", the fire on the thirty-second floor had already spread to the thirty-third floor.
Many people who noticed that something was wrong walked out of the building one after another, some helped report the fire, some called to inform the people upstairs to evacuate quickly, and Fang Tianyou and the three took advantage of the chaos to leave.
According to Fujiwara Chana's intelligence, Iga Takesha's headquarters is located in the western part of Edo, the capital of the island nation, in the belly of the famous Mount Fuji. It's quite a distance from Osaka.
"Do you have any news of Lu Hongji?" Fang Tianyou suddenly thought that this time he came to the island country, in addition to saving Tu Qianqiu, he also had a task to eliminate traitors.
"Lu Hongji, he is under the care of the Aso family, and I don't even know where he is held. After all, we are not of the same faction as them. Fujiwara Kana replied.
"Why is it not controlled by the military of the island country, but by the Aso family? Could it be that the Aso family is interested in Lu Hongji, so they forcibly want to go?" Xiao Wu said suspiciously.
In addition to the legitimate business on the surface, the Aso family is secretly engaged in the development and production of arms, including airplanes and warships. Kana Fujiwara explained.
"It's no wonder. They must have wanted to extract information about the new Huaxia aircraft from Lu Hongji's mouth. It seems that the Aso family's arms business has also been secretly supported by the island country's government, and they have never given up their ambition to expand armaments. Xiao Wu nodded and said.
"Where is the Aso family's stronghold?" Fang Tianyou asked thoughtfully.
"Their family's nest is in Nagoya, and we will pass by there when we go to Mt. Fuji. If your mission also includes the removal of Lu Hongji, you might as well go to the Aso family first.
Because as far as I know, the people of the Iga Martial Arts Society are very interested in Tu Qiangang's cultivation exercises, and they are trying to extract the secrets of the exercises from his mouth, so I don't think Tu Qianqiu's life will be in danger for the time being, but whether Lu Hongji can withstand the Aso family's soft and hard practices and hand over all the information, it is not certain. Fujiwara Chana analyzed.
"Then let's go to the Aso family first. Fang Tianyou said.
The Aso family, which has been passed down in Benkoya for more than 200 years, is a large family with lush branches and many children. The influence in Benkoya is even far greater than that of the island country, and it is like the emperor of the soil here. The old house alone has an area of 60,000 or 70,000 square meters.
The outside world only knows that the Aso family started with coal, and later gradually involved in mining, energy, chemical industry, etc., but they do not know that there is a powerful military factory behind the Aso family, which is secretly supported by the island country's government and is engaged in arms development and production.
After learning about the situation of the Aso family, Fang Tianyou speculated that it was impossible for the Aso family to detain Lu Hongji in his own home. After all, the family has a large population, many people, and it is not suitable for interrogation.
Most likely, he was imprisoned directly in the Aso family's military factory. There is a tight security area, and there are many experts in the development of arms that the Aso family has invited before.
These experts can not only be Lu Hongji's subordinates, but also play the role of monitoring Lu Hongji, whether the information Lu Hongji said is true or false, and there will be experts who can verify it immediately.
When she was about to arrive at the Ming Koya, the soul control technique gradually failed, and Xiao Wu had to cast the soul control technique on her again, and Fujiwara Kana obediently returned to her role as a servant.
Entering the territory of Meikoya, it was already night, but Fujiwara Chana did not take Fang Tianyou and the two into the bustling city, but came to a village that seemed to be the Meiji era of the island country.
This is a village in the most remote area in the eastern part of Benkoya, Okamoto Village, which is almost the most backward village in Benkoya on the surface, and the only technological supplies as far as the eye can see are some electric lights.
"Such a dilapidated village could be the location of the Aso family's military factory?" Xiao Wu said in confusion.
"The Aso family's military factory has always been a top secret. This is the conclusion I have come to by combining the data of our Fujiwara family and the 'Yasukuni Soul' organization. The Aso Arsenal should be here, it's just that I don't know where the entrance is. Kana Fujiwara said embarrassedly.
Although there are no red glows flickering at night, and the liveliness is certainly not as lively as in the city, it also has its own unique nightlife - taverns.
The tavern is the only place in Okamoto that seems to be a little modern, and although this kind of small village pub is not as good as the bars in the city, it is the only pastime here, and business is good.
Almost every table was filled with villagers sitting in twos and threes, calmly sipping some sake, and the sound of chatting was heard everywhere from time to time. There are even some villagers who are addicted to alcohol, already drunk, and staggered out of the tavern drunk.
On the small stage in the innermost part of the tavern, Fang Tianyou even saw a geisha performing, dancing a fan dance unique to the Wa Kingdom to the sound of drums.
"Do you want to catch a villager and ask him?" asked Xiao Wu.
"No, let's go to the tavern, someone will come looking for us. Fang Tianyou said calmly, and walked towards the nearest tavern first.
As soon as the three of them stepped into the tavern, they immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the tavern. One is because of Fujiwara Chana's tall and slender figure and delicate face, and the other is because of Fang Tianyou and Xiao Wu's dress, which is obviously a Chinese national.
"We don't welcome Huaxia people here!" Fang Tianyou walked to the counter, and was about to place an order, when a middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper looked at Fang Tianyou and Xiao Wu impatiently, and said in Huaxia who was not very fluent.
"You two can go, this beauty stays!" A villager at the window stood up slightly drunk, looked at Fang Tianyou and Xiao Wu, and walked towards Fujiwara Kana in a daze.
Fujiwara Chana's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, and she looked at Fang Tianyou and Xiao Wu with some scruples. Fang Tianyou sat down on a half-old chair in front of the counter as if he hadn't heard the words of the shopkeeper and the villager at all.
"You can solve your own things on your own. Seeing that Fang Tianyou didn't speak, Xiao Wu said a word to Fujiwara Chana, and walked to Fang Tianyou and sat down.
Fujiwara Kana received Xiao Wu's acquiescence, so she smiled and took the initiative to walk towards the villager. The villager didn't expect Fujiwara Kana to take the initiative, and while greeting him with excitement on his face, he stared at Fujiwara Kana's proud figure and said, "What a stunner, I will definitely let you enjoy it." ”
"Huaxia people, don't you understand my words?" Seeing that Fang Tianyou and Xiao Wu had no intention of leaving, the tavern owner immediately repeated unhappily, "Huaxia people are not welcome here, please leave quickly!"
"I'm here to kill, and if you dwell on it, you'll probably be the first to be killed. Tell the Aso family to come out, I don't want to kill you ants. Fang Tianyou said coldly.
"What the Aso family!" The boss snorted coldly, as if he didn't understand his words, but after thinking about it, his eyes flashed and asked: "Say, which nearby village are you from, are you talking nonsense like this, do you want to provoke a battle between the two villages?"
His puzzled look seemed to be really thinking about whether to cause a battle between the two villages because of Fang Tianyou, and even Xiao Wu wondered if Fang Tianyou had asked the wrong person.
At the same time, Fujiwara Kana also walked with the villager, but as soon as the two approached, a dull sound came, and the villager flew back directly, hitting the wall, vomiting blood in his mouth, fainting on the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
Fujiwara Chana looks like a weak woman I feel sorry for, but in fact she is a clever ninja, and her combat power is directly chasing the innate mid-stage powerhouse among the Chinese warriors, although the villager is not simple, but where will she be her opponent.
Whew! Seeing that the villager was knocked unconscious by the sexy woman in front of him, the entire tavern fell silent in an instant.
"If no one from the Aso family speaks out, we will kill all the people here. Fang Tianyou took a sip of the sake he had just opened, and looked around at the people in the tavern.
"Arrogance!" As soon as Fang Tianyou's words fell, the boss snorted softly. Immediately, in the stunned eyes of Xiao Wu and Fujiwara Chana, a majestic aura suddenly erupted from the villagers one by one.
For a moment, the originally quiet tavern was instantly filled with energy fluctuations, as if it had fallen into the center of a storm.
But then Xiao Wu and Fujiwara Chana's faces showed a hint of joy. Since these people are all pretending to be masters, it means that there is really a problem here, and the Aso family's military factory should be nearby!
"Huaxia people, you really have some ability, we use the secret technique of the Aso ninja clan to hide the aura, you can even see through us! However, no matter what purpose you come here, I will make you pay the price for your arrogance just now and take him down!"
As the tavern keeper spoke, his figure turned backwards, and his originally slightly thin body instantly swelled, and a coercion that was stronger than the other breaths in the tavern swept through.
As soon as the boss's words fell, the ninjas in the entire tavern were boiling, and the next moment, like a honeycomb, swept towards Fang Tianyou and the three of them.
"This ......" Seeing this scene, Fang Tianyou and Xiao Wu could still be calm, but Fujiwara Chana was trembling. In the face of so many masters, even with her ninjutsu of innate mid-stage combat power, she was not sure to get out.
Thinking of this, she actually subconsciously dodged behind Fang Tianyou and Xiao Wu, because she remembered the fierce methods of the two of them when they dealt with the special attack of the island country in the Daotian Society, and inexplicably believed that the two of them could protect themselves.
Seeing the ninjas approaching, Xiao Wu finally moved, and the magic power rolled, and launched the secret technique of the witch gate, raised his hand and hit a magic blade, which slashed towards this group of ninjas as quickly as thunder, and instantly cut the two ninjas who rushed to the front into two.
"It's so strong!"
This powerful move immediately shocked those ninjas, and even the boss's face flashed with a touch of vigilance. But seeing the jealousy in the eyes of those ninjas, the boss immediately shouted: "Keep going, the stronger the enemy you take, the higher the reward!"
