After the meeting.

Shui Wuyueqi stood in front of the window, looked at the group of people who were slowly moving away, turned around, and said to Kabaya Qianxin, who was sitting upright: "In their hearts, we are probably just hyenas wagging their tails and begging for mercy. ”

Kaguya Kenshin shook his head and said softly, "Kai-kun, how many years have ninjas arisen since the rise of the ninjas? Our Fog Hidden Village has only been established for twenty or thirty years, and they have been entrenched in the Water Country for at least a hundred years, so it is natural for them to look down on us. ”

Shui Wuyueqi lowered his head slightly, looking at the white moonlight that shone in from the window, illuminating the ground, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked a subtle arc, and said in a low voice: "These clans, onmyoji, warriors, and monks are all chaotic people, and they should all be killed." ”

Hearing Shui Wuyueqi's words, Kaguya Kenshin shook his head, and suddenly burst out laughing, laughing as he said, "In their eyes, I'm afraid we're the same. ”

With that, Kaguya Kenshin stood up and said as he walked out, "When the ghost lantern and the moon knocked on the city, they sat and watched the defeat of the daimyo and refused to come to the rescue. Now I'm afraid that I'm worried that Haruka Miyajima will hate them when he grows up, and in this case, in their opinion, the disappearance of Haruka Miyajima is not necessarily all bad news. ”

After saying that, Kaguya Kenshin walked out directly.

Shui Wuyueqi looked at Kaguya's back, the expression in his eyes was uncertain, and his palms clenched gently.

At this time, seeing Kaguya Kenshin leaving, Yayoi and Chinatsu, who had been waiting outside for a while, walked in, waiting for Mizuki no Yueqi's orders.

Shui Wuyue raised her head, looked at the bright moon in the distant sky, and whispered to the two people standing behind her: "Actually, who is struggling with us, several families know in their hearts. It's just that there are too many thoughts on each other. ”

Yayoi asked in a low voice behind him, "My lord, what about us?"

Shui Wuyue Qi laughed twice, took out a scroll from his arms, handed it to Yayoi, and said, "This is an edict written by me myself, pass it back to the family." Tell them that this time, only success is allowed, not failure. If you can't get the enemy's head, you send your own head. ”

Yayoi took the scroll with both hands, lowered his head, and replied in a deep voice, "Yes!"

That night, one by one, orders from the Kanda, Inoue, and Niwa clans left the Hatta River, and were quickly conveyed to all parts of the water country.

Immediately, the garrison officials in various parts of the Water Country began to vigorously search for outsiders in the area. For a time, I don't know how many people were thrown into prisons all over the water country.

This is the agreement reached between Kaguya and Mizuki and the three clans: they will do their best to help Kaguya and Mizuno "rescue" the daimyo, but correspondingly, the Mist Ninjas, to be precise, the Mizuno and Kaguya clans, must also make concessions to them in some other way.

At this time, on the outskirts of a small town in the Land of Water, two small traders were looking at the city in front of them from a distance.

In this world, the big businessmen who are truly rich are only a few after all. What's more, just like the pair of small traders in front of them, buying and selling in neighboring places, communicating with each other, running around and working all year long, and earning just a piece of hard-earned money.

In addition, there are supernatural forces in this world, and there are many dangers in the wilderness, so they are all willing to walk together, just to take care of each other.

Even if you have an accident, at least someone can report to your family, so that you don't become a lonely ghost floating outside.

"Ichiro, the city has suddenly been so strict recently, I'm afraid something big has happened. At this time, let's be careful. ”

One of them, a tall, but thin man, had a look of unease on his face and said to a short, stout man beside him.

"Phew!"

The short man spat on the ground fiercely, and then said viciously: "It's just that the guards have recruited some snitch in the house, or some of the children of the officials have come down to 'travel', what's so terrible, just be careful." ”

"But ......"

There was some hesitation in the tall man's tone, and there was obvious hesitation.

The short man was still hesitant when he saw his partner, and he was angry for a while, but he thought that the two of them had grown up together since childhood, and this matter could not be done without him, so he had to slow down his tone and said, "Jiro, I know that this matter is risky. But if you think about it, when did we do it in the past, when did something happen? Even if something happened, it was just a matter of giving them some money. But what if it does, if nothing else, we can easily do it for at least half a year. ”

I don't know if it was the persuasion of my companions that worked, or if there was finally a trade-off in my heart, the hesitation on the tall man's face gradually faded, and finally he gritted his teeth viciously and said: "Okay! If it is really a big thing enough to destroy the family and the clan, forgive them and they will not only pay this money." ”

With a smile on his face, the stout man squatted down, took up his cargo again, and said to the tall man, "In that case, let's go quickly." I finished it early, and I got the reward money and went home early. ”

The tall man agreed, and then, the two figures slowly walked in the direction of the city.

In the city, in the garrison of the house.

The garrison sat alone in the hall, rubbing a letter in his hand, his face full of thought and confusion.

This letter was urgently delivered to me from the Hattagawa River yesterday night. The sender is the patriarch of the Niwa clan, one of the three major families of the Hattagawa River. The letter arrived with two samurai who delivered it.

The content of the letter hinted at him and asked him to check and clean up the local "unidentified people". If such a person is caught, it is handed over to the two samurai who delivered the letter.

As a garrison, he has a lot of real power in his hands, almost administrative and military, and it is not difficult to complete the tasks assigned by the Niwa clan.

However, Huan Hai has been up and down for many years, and although he was able to sit in this seat thanks to the help of the Niwa clan, he also had some careful thoughts of his own.

Thinking of this, the subordinates guarding the garrison suddenly whispered outside the door: "My lord, there are two merchants outside the mansion who want to see you, saying that they have something important to report." ”

The guard's hand paused, subconsciously looked at the letter in his hand, then stood up, came to the door, and asked his subordinates, "Did they say what happened?"

The subordinate shook his head and replied in a low voice, "They claim that someone asked them to bring a letter to your lordship. ”

The garrison subconsciously clenched the other letter in his hand, and before he could say anything more, his eyes saw that the two samurai who had come to deliver the letter before suddenly appeared not far away, and were walking towards it.
