Chapter 767: Counting Each Other
"Yaga, these damn politicians, I really can't stand them for a moment. ”
And just when Muto and Tanaka were blowing as if no one was around, Lu You, and they were also at the bottom of the sea hundreds of meters deep, intently eavesdropping on their conversations and obtaining the most valuable information.
Hundreds of miles away, in a small valley with beautiful scenery on the island of Honshu, two middle-aged men dressed as Japanese samurai were playing against each other while sipping fragrant tea in an octagonal pavilion.
It didn't take long for one of them, a middle-aged man with a height of about 1.9 meters, five big and three thick, and a meaty face, impatiently slammed the teacup in his hand to the ground, stretched out his hand and directly overturned the chessboard, and scolded viciously.
"Shh
Different from his anxiety and irritability, opposite him, there was another middle-aged man who was still sitting upright, with a thin figure and a face like a knife, but his eyes were extraordinarily bright, but he looked extremely calm.
Directly erected a finger, put it to his mouth, and made a silent gesture, he looked at the stout man in front of him with a violent face, and said in a very soft voice: "Quiet, Tanaka family master, what you need most now is to be quiet, calm down, calm down." ”
"I'll keep a few birds. ”
With a sound of "swish", he directly twitched a knife with a long handle hanging from his waist, and with a wave of his hand, he directly split a huge rock a hundred meters away into powder.
One of the three leading leaders in the martial arts world of the Japanese Kingdom, the head of the Tanaka family, Tanaka Haruhei, put away the knife and returned the sheath, sat down again, and said with an indignant expression: "Those bastards in the Cabinet Office, bullying people, too much bullying. ”
"Muto-kun, tell me, these bastards from the Cabinet Office, how can they desperately weaken the power of our two major families for the sake of some new balance?
"Could it be that the Ito family is unlucky, and our Tanaka and Muto families have to be unlucky with them?"
With a "snap", he slapped the stone table in front of him, smashing the stone table in front of him, and the head of the Tanaka family, Tanaka Haruhei, roared angrily.
"Hehe, Tanaka-kun, look at you, it's always so easy to get excited. ”
Seeing the head of the Tanaka family in front of him, Haruhi Tanaka, he was so irritable. The thin man who had been sitting quietly opposite him, the head of the Muto family, Keiji Muto, smiled slightly, and said unhurriedly:
"The Cabinet Office wants to do something to our three major families, and it's not a day or two, you don't know this. ”
"In the past, our three families, Muto, Ito, and Tanaka, dominated the entire martial arts world, which already made the people in the Cabinet Office very dissatisfied. It's just that at that time, our three major families were united and ironclad, and the people in the Cabinet Office couldn't find a chance to start. ”
"Now, the Ito family is in such a big trouble, and they finally have a flaw, how can they let go of this opportunity?"
Looking deeply at Harunei Tanaka, who was sitting in front of him and breathing heavily, Keiji Muto continued:
"According to the information of our Muto family, in the past month, the Cabinet Office has arranged a lot of nails for the Ito family under the guise of supporting the Ito family. ”
"According to my estimate, the Cabinet Office wants to take the opportunity to infiltrate and grasp the actual power of the Ito family. The worst is to tear a big crack in our three major families. ”
"Cultivators of the China Kingdom, this beautiful raid has finally made a wedding dress for the Cabinet Office. ”
As he spoke, Keiji Muto glanced at Haruhei Tanaka, who was sitting in front of him, and said helplessly: "All along, the Cabinet Office has felt that our three major families are too powerful and wants to find an opportunity to weaken us. ”
"This time, the cultivators of the Shina country have found an opportunity for the raid on the Ito family. ”
"If I'm not bad, the cultivation of the Ito family, or the infiltration, is only the first step. In the name of revenge against the country, the Cabinet Office should send our two families to fight against the cultivators of the country. ”
"Shhh
Hearing Keiji Muto's inference, Haruhi Tanaka, who was five big and three thick, was immediately stunned, and after being stunned for a long time, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva violently and said in disbelief: "What do they want, borrow a knife to kill someone?"
"Baga, these shameless bastards, these hateful politicians. ”
After saying this sentence in disbelief, Haruhi Tanaka exploded instantly, jerked out the * on his waist, and slashed it several times.
With a flash of knife light, several huge rocks a hundred meters away from him were instantly hit again.
"Whew, whew!"
After slashing these knives, Tanaka Haruhei sat down abruptly again, panting heavily, and he didn't know whether he was tired or angry.
After a long time, the panting gradually stopped, he looked at the head of the Muto family in front of him, Keiji Muto, and said slowly: "Muto-kun, those idiots in the Cabinet Office, now it is obviously a national war, not only do they not help us, but what balance do they have to play." ”
"I'm afraid that after the annexation of the Ito family, the next thing they will have to deal with is you and me, our two families. ”
"Muto-kun, you have always been resourceful, and I hope you can find a way to help our two families get through this difficult time. ”
"Now the Cabinet Office, in the name of searching for cultivators in the China Kingdom, has taken away a lot of strong family members from our two major families, and many of them are also named and directly asked for people, and they understand it so clearly, it can be seen that they want to attack us, not for a day or two. ”
"If this continues, our two families will be drawn into empty shells. I suspect that the cultivators of the China Kingdom have made a surprise attack on the Ito family, so that the bastards in the Cabinet Office have been inspired, and they are also ready to do this for our two major families, and then blame the practitioners of the China Province. ”
"Well, if that's the case, then it's a bit of a serious problem. ”
Hearing Tanaka Haruhei's words, Keiji Muto's brows couldn't help frowning, and he said thoughtfully: "It seems that we have to find a reason to shrink our strength and strengthen the defense within the family." ”
……
"Tokugawa-kun, have there been any recent movements in the domestic martial arts world, especially the two major families of Muto and Tanaka?"
Just when Keiji Muto was frowning and thinking thoughtfully, in Tokyo, the capital of the Wa Kingdom, hundreds of miles away from them, in a mysterious compound without any plaques, an old man who looked to be about seven hundred or ten years old, with gray hair and ravines on his face, was half-lying on a recliner under him, basking in the sun comfortably, while turning his head, looking at a man in a suit standing beside him, and asked with a smile: "Do you have anything to report to me?"
"Yes, sir!"
Hearing the old man's inquiry, a handsome-looking young man in his twenties standing beside him hurriedly opened the folder in his hand, glanced at it, and then said:
"In the past month, there have been no major changes in the domestic martial arts world. Compared to a month ago, the impact of the incident in the Ito family is gradually subsiding, and the martial arts world has been diverted by other things we have thrown out. ”
"But there's one thing, very strange, that I feel compelled to report back to you. ”
Looking at the folder in his hand, the young man hesitated, but finally spoke, speaking cautiously.
Seeing the young man's embarrassed appearance, the old man's face couldn't help but show a smile, and he looked at him with some curiosity and said, "Oh, what's the matter that makes you so entangled?"
"It's the Muto family and the Tanaka family. ”
Speaking cautiously, the young man saw the old man in front of him, his face changed suddenly, and his expression became serious, so he didn't dare to hide it, so he opened his mouth directly, and said very neatly:
"In the past month, our people have found that the patriarch of these two families, Keiji Muto, and Haruhi Tanaka have met frequently. And the place where they met, as well as the way, were very hidden, and it was even difficult to find out if they didn't deliberately reconnoitre. ”
"Oh, Haruhei Tanaka and Keiji Muto?"
Hearing the young man's report, the old man's face showed a look of interest, and he smiled and said, "These two little guys, they have been together all day long, what are they discussing?"
"Well, I don't know. ”
Hearing the old man's question, the young man's face showed a look of embarrassment, and he explained very uneasily:
"These two people, both of them are powerful, and there are guards around them, and our people can't get close at all, and they can't hear what they're saying. ”
"However, judging from various other signs, these two guys should be our infiltration of the Ito family, and they were detected by the two major families of Muto and Tanaka, and the two of them should be discussing what to deal with. ”
"How are they going to respond?"
Glancing at the young man beside him, the old man seemed to be talking to himself, and whispered: "Hmph, don't think I don't know the little calculations of the two of them." ”
"Muto, Ito, and Tanaka, these three families have dominated our Japanese martial arts world for thousands of years. For the sake of the family's interests, they can ignore the interests of the country, and the matter of overseas Senjima, if it is not for the Ito family, how can we conflict with the country of China. "These families are too rampant and too blind to the laws of the country, and they must be punished.
"Tokugawa-kun, compared to these three major families, you small families are very worry-free for our Cabinet Office. ”
It seemed that he saw the young man next to him, named Tokugawa, whose face was not quite right, and the old man showed a smile to him, and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, as long as your family continues to maintain this humble attitude, our Cabinet Office will not do anything to you. ”
Hearing the old man's words, the young man named Tokugawa couldn't help but tremble, and hurriedly replied respectfully, "Hi, sir!"
