Chapter 769: Sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight
"Sir, sir, a happy event, a great event. ”
Early in the morning, in the mysterious compound of the Cabinet Office, the young man named Tokugawa, holding a folder in his hand, hurriedly rushed into an office, facing the office, wearing reading glasses, like an ordinary kind old man, his superior, the supreme controller of the Japanese Cabinet Office, who was seriously reviewing official documents, shouted joyfully.
"Oh, Tokugawa, what's so pleased?"
Seeing that the young man was so happy, the old man raised his head from behind the mountain of official documents, looked at him and said with a smile: "Say it, let me be happy too." ”
"Hi, sir. ”
Suddenly, a young man named Tokugawa who bent down hurriedly opened the folder in his hand, took out a document from the folder, handed it respectfully, and said excitedly: "Our people in the Ito family, send back the news, the current head of the Ito family, Ito Hiroyasu, seems to agree to our support plan, and intends to open more positions to our cabinet office." ”
"Oh, there's such a thing?"
Hearing the words of this young man named Tokugawa, the old man in front of him was also a little surprised, and hurriedly stretched out his hand, took the paper document handed over by Tokugawa, and looked at it carefully.
"Hehe, okay, this Ito Bokang, he finally got his senses. ”
Holding the paper in his hand, he seriously read the few words on it for several minutes, and then a smile appeared on the old man's face, and he said with a smile: "Is there any other news?"
"Sir, the next thing to report is bad news. ”
Hearing the old man say this, Tokugawa's face suddenly collapsed, he bent down deeply, and said in a very lonely tone.
Seeing Tokugawa's performance, knowing that the news he was going to report next, I am afraid it will be very bad, very bad, the old man couldn't help but be stunned, and then smiled and said: "Oh? What bad news, say it, it's okay, I'll bear it." ”
"Hi sir, that's right. ”
Hearing the old man say this, the young man named Tokugawa didn't dare to hide it, opened the folder and glanced at it, and then reported in a low voice:
"Yesterday, due to the weather forecast, there would be a big storm in the search area, so at the request of the two major families, Muto and Tanaka, we temporarily suspended the search for the cultivators of the Shina country and allowed the two families to withdraw and repair. ”
"However, we later found out that the so-called storm was completely false information created by the two families who bought the weather personnel, and the two families used this to replace all the withdrawn elite men and horses with a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people, and resend them back. ”
"Not only that, but our people in the overseas fairy island, today also used intelligence to get rid of the Ito family, because of the heavy losses, with our permission, had to withdraw the elite forces on the overseas fairy island, Muto and Tanaka, their two families, without our permission, also privately withdrew part of the elite forces sent to the overseas fairy island. ”
"Huh?"
Hearing Tokugawa's report, the old man in front of him immediately narrowed his eyes dangerously.
"Hi, it's our dereliction of duty, please punish it, sir. ”
The old man who was still smiling and kind was now a terrifying old monster who exuded a terrifying murderous aura and was as dangerous as an ancient beast.
Feeling the cold murderous aura emanating from the old man's body, Tokugawa's body suddenly oozed large drops of sweat, and his clothes were soaked with sweat in an instant.
It's just that although the soaked clothes made him feel very uncomfortable, Tokugawa still didn't dare to move, and still struggled to maintain a posture of bending over dozens of degrees, and said with great trepidation.
"Hehe, get up, I can't blame you for this. ”
The terrifying murderous aura disappeared without a trace in just an instant, and the old man in front of him returned to the appearance of an ordinary old man who was harmless to humans and animals, with a kind face, facing his eyes, bending deeply, bowing ninety degrees, and trembling Tokugawa, said with a smile:
"The two major families, Muto and Tanaka, since they have withdrawn their men and horses from overseas immortal islands, they must find a reason, right? What is their reason? Why did they suddenly decide to withdraw their people and horses from overseas immortal islands?"
"Report sir, just yesterday, the country of China suddenly stepped up its offensive on overseas fairy islands. ”
Hearing the old man's inquiry, Tokugawa hurriedly replied: "The two great families of Muto and Tanaka suffered extremely serious losses during yesterday's attack on the Shina Kingdom, and I am worried that if this continues, the loss of men and horses on the overseas immortal island will be too heavy, which will weaken their strength. ”
"So they dare to withdraw the centaurs on the island without our approval?"
Looking at Tokugawa in front of him, the old man's face instantly became gloomy, but his tone was still calm.
"Yes, yes, sir. ”
Seeing the old man's face gloomy, Tokugawa's expression became panicked again, and he said tremblingly.
"Well, in this case, it makes sense why the Ito family suddenly allowed our Cabinet Office to infiltrate. ”
didn't care about Tokugawa's trembling appearance, the old man rubbed his head with some distress, and muttered in his mouth: "The two major families of Muto and Tanaka, this is shrinking their strength, and it is estimated that there is some major plan." ”
"And the Ito family, perhaps it was when they got the news that they were afraid of being attacked, so they had to rely on us as well. ”
"Sir, are you saying that the two major families, Muto and Tanaka, are going to launch an attack on the Ito family?"
Hearing the old man say this, in front of him, the young man named Tokugawa suddenly widened his eyes in surprise, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face, and he said in a lost voice:
"Didn't we, the Cabinet Office, warn them a long time ago, and why did they dare to ignore our warnings......
"Hehe, what's the use of just warning. ”
With a wave of his hand, a smile appeared on the old man's face, and he said with a smile:
"Muto, Tanaka, Ito, these three major families have ruled our Japanese martial arts world for thousands of years, and if you want to turn history, our cabinet office, the time it was established, is less than half of their three major families. ”
"Now, although the Ito clan has suffered heavy losses under the surprise attack of the cultivators of the Shina country, and there are two major families, Muto and Tanaka, who are eyeing them, they have to rely on the help of our Cabinet Office, and they can still partially obey us. ”
"However, the two major families of Muto and Tanaka, although they have suffered a little loss in the overseas fairy island, they have not broken their bones, and if they want them to really obey our Cabinet Office, how can it be possible. ”
"Sir, could it be that the two major families of Muto and Tanaka, they really want to attack the Ito family......?
Hearing the old man say this, Tokugawa's face also showed a strong look of worry, and he said in a somewhat worried tone.
"Hmph, how can it be so easy to dare to offend the majesty of our Cabinet Office and to attack the object of our Cabinet Office's explicit protection. ”
With a heavy cold snort in his mouth, the old man raised his head, looked at Tokugawa who was standing in front of him, and said with a grim face: "If you don't teach them a lesson, these two local snakes will never know that the majesty of our cabinet office can never be offended." ”
"Hey, sir, I'll take care of this. ”
Feeling the strong murderous aura emanating from the old man's body, Tokugawa hurriedly bent down and said respectfully.
"Well, that's good. ”
Nodding with satisfaction, the old man said in a calm tone: "I have always been relieved of your ability to do things, go ahead, go and make a perfect plan." ”
"Hi, sir. ”
Hearing the old man's words, Tokugawa nodded hurriedly and spoke.
……
"The head of the family, the Cabinet Office has ill intentions, how can you agree to their request and take the initiative to open more positions?"
And at the headquarters of the Cabinet Office, when the old man and the young man named Tokugawa had just finished talking, the old nest of the Ito family was also arguing.
An old man, who was old but in good spirits, looked at Ito Hiroyasu, who was sitting in the top position, with blazing eyes, and asked in a stern tone: "Although Muto and Tanaka, their two major families, are not dead, but our Ito family is not easy to bully. ”
"In the past, the elite of the family was not there, and we didn't expect the cultivators of the Shina country to come and attack, so we suffered such heavy losses, but now, the elite of our family has returned, and it is a dream for the two major families to take advantage of it again. ”
"Hehe, Third Elder, don't be angry. ”
In the face of the questions and suspicions of the old people in these families, if it had been a few days ago, Ito Hiroyasu would have panicked.
After all, although he is now the head of the family, it is also because the Ito family has just suffered a great disaster, and he urgently needs him, the little young master, to stabilize people's hearts, and the old housekeeper also supports him, so these old people of the family will pinch their noses and admit it.
But if he doesn't behave well, the eldest brother's son, but before he has time to get rid of it, these old men of the family may kick him and support his little nephew to take the position. So Ito Hirokan dealt with it very carefully, and said cautiously:
"The Cabinet Office, Muto, and Tanaka's two major families are all immortal, so why don't we sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?"
"Huh?"
Hearing Ito Bokang say this, everyone in the secret room had their pupils shrunk, and the third elder, who was still angry at him before, seemed to suddenly think of something, and his eyes suddenly said with great eagerness: "Family master, how do you say this?"
"Hey, uncles, that's what the kid thinks. ”
Seeing that the three elders even became kind, and the other family elders also looked interested, Ito Bokang was immediately very excited and happy to explain to them.
