Seeing that the daimyo was unwilling to agree to kill the nobles by himself, Hideki Ghost Lantern did not dwell on it any longer, but still said to the daimyo respectfully: "Since His Royal Highness has an order, then my clan will naturally abide by it." It's just that I also ask Your Highness to give an order, and don't let these powerful clans do this kind of messy thing again. ”

This was also the right thing to do, and the daimyo of Kawanokuni signed an order on the spot, ordering all the clans in the city to guard their own houses and not to do anything that violated the edict again, otherwise they would be severely punished.

In his mind, the Ghost Lantern Clan had recently launched a killing spree in the city as a deterrent, and with his own edict, these powerful clans would presumably be stable for a while.

Hideki Ghost Lantern received the decree signed by the Daimyo, and his face showed a look of great joy, and even assured the Daimyo that he would defend Kugawa Castle for the Daimyo and not let the Rain Ninja enter the city for half a step.

Moments later, Hideki Ghost Lantern said goodbye to the daimyo and left.

After Hideki Oni left, the official of the country of Kawanoku named Cangjun was brought in by the waiter again.

High-level ninjas have great insight skills, so when the daimyo of Kawanokuni talked to Hideki Oni, he asked the waiter to lead Cangjun into the distance, and Cangjun didn't know the content of the conversation between the two.

When Cangjun arrived, the daimyo told him in detail about the conversation between him and the Ghost Lantern Phantom Moon, and then asked, "Cangjun, you see, does the Ghost Lantern clan have an unfathomable heart?" ”

Cangjun stood in place, frowning and thinking for a while, then organized his words, slowly spoke, and said to the daimyo......

What Cangjun said to the daimyo of Kawanokuni that day has become something that cannot be examined. With the tragic death of both the Daimyo of Kawanokuni and Cangjun in the turmoil that followed soon after, the conversation between the two became an eternal secret.

did not mention the conversation between the two of them in the temple, but said that the ghost lantern Phantom Moon, under the leadership of the attendant, left the Daimyo's mansion, and the first thing he said to the subordinates who were waiting outside and greeted him was: "Go and check, who are the people who have met the Daimyo recently." ”

The subordinate nodded, answered "yes", and then added, "However, just before you entered, an official named Cangjun went to meet the daimyo, and he has not left the palace at the moment. ”

Ghost Lantern Hideki frowned, and then said, "Go check on him and see if you can shut him up." ”

The subordinate agreed, and then leaned over to Eiki Ghost Lantern, his hand gently descended in mid-air, and whispered to Eiki Eiki, "Patriarch, can you ...... when necessary?"

Eiki Ghost Lantern pondered for a moment, but finally shook his head and said, "No, it seems that the daimyo is already a little unhappy with our actions. At this time, you should be more restrained first. ”

Sure enough, after meeting the daimyo in front of Eiki Ghost Lantern, the Ghost Lantern clan began to slow down the speed of the entire city, and at the same time, they no longer carried out large-scale executions of prisoners. These changes have made some people in the city breathe a sigh of relief.

"My lord, if this continues, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to hide our traces anymore."

A ninja dressed as a civilian pushed the door in and said to Ryohei Mizuzuki who was sitting in the room.

Due to the Ghost Lantern Clan's search around the city, most of the Shui Wuyue Clan's strongholds had been replaced at this time. It's also a pity that the Ghost Lantern Clan didn't check the city according to the strength and standards of searching for hidden ninjas, otherwise it would be difficult for so many Water Moon Ninjas to hide in the city.

However, if this continues, it is only a matter of time before the Shui Wuyue clan is discovered.

Of course, this is just what the people of the Shui Wuyue clan think. They didn't know that although they and the others had not been completely exposed, they had already been discovered by Eiki Ghost's subordinates.

Shui Wuyueliang's face was condensed, and he asked his subordinates, "How is it, is there any new news?" ”

The Shui Wuyue ninja who had just come in shook his head and said to Shui Wuyue Ryohei, "Now that the Ghost Lantern Clan is arresting people everywhere in the city, many people don't dare to make any small moves at this time. The people below inquired in many ways, and they could only confirm that Yuyin's troops would soon arrive at Jiuchuan City. But there is something worth playing with in the Daimyo of Kawanokuni......"

"Oh?"

Shui Wuyue Liangping became interested and said to him, "What's the matter? ”

The Mizuki ninja smiled for a moment, and then said, "Yesterday evening, the daimyo changed his escort team and reactivated his own escort team, which was mainly composed of monks from the country of Kawano, and the ninjas of the Oni Lantern clan returned to the family. ”

The guards around the daimyo of various countries are naturally elite professionals. However, the development of different professions is also quite different in different countries. For example, the guards of the Daimyo of the Land of Water are a group of elite samurai, the people in charge of guarding the Daimyo in the Land of Fire are directly the Konoha ninjas, and the people who guard the Daimyo in the Land of Kawa are a group of monks who are said to practice the Vajra Method.

When Shui Wuyue Liangping heard this, he lowered his head, his mind turned rapidly, and suddenly said: "I can't wait any longer, I must contact the people in the Ghost Lantern Clan immediately, and I must do it as soon as possible." ”

The man was taken aback by Shui Wuyue Ryohei's words, and blurted out, "My lord, but we ......"

Shui Wuyue Ryohei raised his hand, stopped the other party's words, and said, "Yuta, I understand what you mean. But now the Yuyin team can't say when it will come, and if they wait, when Yuyin besieges the city, things will only get worse. ”

This ninja called Shui Wuyue Yuta, at this time, is a middle ninja rank, and he once followed Shui Wuyue Qi to carry out the mission of exterminating the Xiangtian clan.

Therefore, although Shui Wuyue Yuta was from a low background, after this, he took this step to ascend to the sky and became a subordinate of Shui Wuyueqi.

At the beginning, Shui Wuyue Qi ordered the family ninjas to try to use the "eight-person squad" team mode on the battlefield, and the first batch of pilots was with him, which shows that Shui Wuyueqi believes in him.

Later, before and after going to the Land of Rain, Mizuno Moon Kai ordered the family to strengthen the infiltration of the country of Kawanoku, and he was the person in charge of this operation at that time.

After Shui Wuyue Ryohei came here, the supreme command was naturally handed over to him. However, when making decisions, he can't fail to take into account Yuta Mizuzuki's opinions.

Listening to Shui Wuyue Ryohei's words, Shui Wuyue Yuta thought for a moment, and then said, "What the Lord said is that I will immediately contact the Ghost Lantern Clan." ”

"Hmm."

Shui Wuyue Ryohei nodded, and then said, "Go ahead, let's ......"

Unexpectedly, as soon as the two of them said that they wanted to contact the group of people who were friendly with them in the Ghost Lantern Clan, they heard someone report outside: "My lord, the situation is not right, there are many new faces around." ”

What the?!

As soon as the two of them heard this, their faces immediately sank, their hearts jumped, and then they immediately became vigilant, and signaled their subordinates to prepare for battle as they walked out.

With those thirty or so "Sword Ninjas" in the city, plus some other ninjas who had been deployed here before, the armed forces of the Shui Wuyue clan in the city were actually very considerable.

However, out of the need to hide their identities, the ninjas of the Mizuno Moon clan did not gather, but divided into several groups and scattered throughout the city. On the one hand, this makes it easier to hide the traces and greatly reduces the risk of revealing the identity, but on the other hand, once the identity is discovered, it is also easier to be broken one by one, which can also be said to have advantages and disadvantages.
