Chapter 67: The Twin Scorpions (1)

Inside the city of Pyongyang.

The encirclement deployed by the heavy troops was broken through by the Daming squad, which made Governor Konishi very angry.

Ichiro Sugitani was reprimanded by Yukicho Konishi, who was annoyed and angry. When he returned to the office, he couldn't help but scold Izumo Kumi, who had failed to hunt down the Daming squad and returned empty-handed.

Thinking about the establishment of the Koga Concentric Association, the Koga ninja led by himself, in the process of Hideyoshi Sekibai pacifying the Ming Dynasty in the country, has won many battles, but I didn't expect that this time in the face of a few Ming brocade guards, in the case of taking advantage of the time and place, and the superiority of numbers, they have repeatedly returned in vain, and the soldiers have been defeated. Ichiro Sugitani felt that this was a disgrace to all the members of the Koga Harmony Association, and to disgrace all Koga ninjas. As the upper ninja among the Koga-ryu ninjas, he is unwilling.

In the face of the president's scolding, Izumo Kumi listened attentively. The chairman and General Konishi entrusted themselves with the task of pursuing the Daming squad, but they did not complete the task well, and Izumo Kumi was full of self-blame and remorse.

As a middle ninja among the Koga ninjas, he has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and his absolute obedience to his boss makes Izumo Kumi stand with his chest up, and he says yes again and again.

"Kumi, you have to remember, don't let down my heart for you." Ichiro Sugitani finished venting the stuffiness in his chest, and turned to say to Kumi Izumo in a more gentle tone.

"Yes, President. This time it's all Kumi's incompetence. Please give me another chance, I will definitely kill all these Ming spies. Kumi Izumo put her feet together and looked ahead.

According to their escape route, it is estimated that there are two routes of their next action: one is to return to Yiju to rest, and the driver will go out again; The second is to take the direction of Kaesong and run directly to Wangjing.

"According to the news from our personnel stationed in Wangjing, since our army occupied Wangjing, there have been Jinyi guards stationed in Korea in the early Ming Dynasty in Wangjing City. There are all kinds of indications that it is more likely that they will go to Wangjing. Sugitani Ichiro was noncommittal to Izumo's request, and he sat down, as if talking to himself, and as if he was saying something to Kumi.

"President, then send me to Wang Jing. This time, Kumi will definitely do her best to live up to the importance and cultivation that the president has given me! Izumo Kumi heard Ichiro Sugitani's analysis and judgment and took the initiative to ask for help.

"No, Kumi. You've already met with them, so it's inconvenient to go out again. You just need to be in charge of the affairs of the Uiju side. Pay attention, pay close attention to the situation in Yiju, and report to General Konishi and me as soon as it is discovered that the Ming side has sent troops to Korea.

"As for Wang Jing, I have urgently mobilized suitable candidates from China to come to Wang Jing. Soon, I will also leave for Wangjing. This time, I'm going to go out myself. I don't believe it, this group of Ming spies has three heads and six arms? Ichiro Sugitani waved his hand to reject Izumo Kumi's request, and as he spoke, his eyes were like torches, revealing a cold murderous aura.

"Yes, this time, the president will personally go out, and he will definitely be able to win and exterminate the Ming spies in one fell swoop."

A ninja training ground deep in the Mt. Tomimachi in Shiga Prefecture, Prefecture, Wakuni Province.

Two young girls dressed in dark ninja night suits and a tight tank top are running as hard as they can on the uneven runway in the mountains.

Each of them had a long cloth tied around his waist that hung down to the ground, and a hat was fastened to his chest.

According to the training requirements, in the process of fast running, the long cloth hanging from the waist must not fall to the ground, and the hat attached to the chest cannot fall to the ground, which requires them to run very fast.

"Quick, quick, quick, come on, Michiko, well done. Mieko, don't be discouraged. Otherwise, it will be done all over again. It's almost the end. Come on! Behind the two fast-running girls was a middle-aged man who was also moving fast, and he was loudly urging the two girls in front of him.

The two girls had their feet in the wind, and they only felt the late cherry blossoms, cypresses and other plants on both sides of the mountain road, and they kept falling quickly behind them. After nearly five kilometers, beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads, and their breathing began to become tight.

In front of him there was a sisal field, several rows of tall and sturdy sisal feet more than a man tall, and they were arranged horizontally in the direction from which the two girls had run. The standard distance between each row is ten meters apart, for a total of ten rows.

This kind of jumping sisal training generally starts when the sisal grows to a height of more than half a meter. As the sisal grows taller, so does the height of the trainee's jump. This kind of training is not only a training for the ninja's foot strength, but also a test of the ninja's courage. If you are not careful in training, you may be stabbed by a hard and sharp sisal.

"Okay, now throw away the hat on your chest and the long cloth around your waist at once. Find the right rhythm and skip the sisal in front of you in turn! The middle-aged man commanded loudly behind him.

The two girls did not dare to slack off, threw away the long cloth and hat on their bodies as quickly as possible, visually checked the position of sisal not far in front, and then, adjusted the running rhythm, when they were about to reach the first row of sisal, the two of them adjusted their positions at the same time, exerted force on one leg, lightly crossed the first row of sisal, and landed firmly on the ground.

Immediately afterward, the two got up and continued to rush forward, crossing the second and third rows in the same way...... Tenth row. By the time they crossed the last row of sisal and landed, the two were out of breath.

"Mieko, are you okay? Let's work hard and climb over the high wall in front of us. ”

"Sister, I'm fine. You should be careful when climbing high walls. You almost fell off last time. ”

In the cool mountain breeze, the sound of two young girls talking was heard.

As they spoke, a stone wall crossed in front of them, blocking their path. The stone wall is about two feet high, and it is a facility used by Koga ninjas to practice climbing. Due to years of wind and rain, coupled with the climber's grasping buckle pedaling, the wall has become uneven.

The two girls came to the bottom of the wall and looked up at the top of the wall. Then, remove the climbing weapon they carry with them from their backpacks, the hand armor hook.

The infiltration type ninja commonly used by Koga ninjas generally includes kunai, knot ladders, spider ladders, etc. This hand armor hook is a kind of combat ninja commonly used by Koga ninjas, its shape is like a person's two hands, when used on the back of the hand, five sharp claws stretch out from the back of the person's hand, the length is slightly longer than the five fingers of the person. It is more powerful in close-quarters combat, and can kill people by surprise.

Due to its unique construction, this armor hook is often used by ninjas to climb high walls in addition to attacking combat. The high-purity steel is forged with a hook jaw that is so tough that it can be embedded in the crevices of masonry like a spade wedge.

"Come on!"

"Come on!"

The two girls stood up, looked at each other, encouraged each other, and then, stretched out their figures, using their hands and feet together, their bodies clinging to the wall like geckos.

I saw them quickly pick the gap in the stone wall with the armor hook in their hands, their bodies were slightly bent, their abdomen was tucked and their buttocks were raised, and their feet kicked on the protruding part of the wall.

Then, adjust your position in the air, and when your whole body jumps to the highest point, quickly grab the crack in the wall with the hook of your hand and make your body stick to the wall. Then, take the next leap in the same way.

In this way, the two girls relied on their super physical fitness, and made several difficult leaps on the high wall, and their bodies had already climbed the high wall steadily.

Standing on top of the high wall, you can see the scenery in the valley in the distance.

But the two of them had no time to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the mountains, and they had to complete all the training projects within the stipulated time, otherwise they would be severely punished.

They glanced down at the terrain beneath the high wall, and then, stretching their bodies, jumped off the two-foot high stone wall.

They stretch their limbs as far as possible in the air to increase the buoyancy of their bodies in the air and minimize the impact of their bodies when they hit the ground.

At the moment when the body is about to touch the ground, tap the ground with both feet, and the body will roll forward, and then, with both hands and feet on the ground, fall firmly to the ground.

The two girls looked at each other and smiled, high-fived each other.

At this time, on the other side of the high wall, the middle-aged man who had exhausted them countless times came out: "Don't stop, use the water spiders on the shore to see who can cross the river in front first." Hurry, hurry, hurry! ”

The two girls, who were already exhausted, had to regain their spirits and run towards the river about ten meters in front of them.

One of the most famous tools used by the Wa ninja to cross the river, the water spider is a circular utensil made of four foldable arc-shaped wooden sheets connected by soft wire.

When used, the water spider is spread on the water surface, and the four wooden planks are just enclosed into a circular buoyancy device, and the middle just forms one, which can be put into the circular space around the waist, and its interior is a rectangular wooden board connected with four soft ropes and four planks. In the water, the crotch of the person sits right on this rectangular plank.

In addition, ninjas who use water spiders wear a pair of webbed wooden water scratches on their feet to tread water. There is also a ninja staff in the hand for paddling.

In this way, the buoyancy generated by the round appliance can act as a lifebuoy. Water scratches, which resemble clogs, can minimize the sound generated during treading water.

When they came to the river, the two girls couldn't take a breath, and immediately skillfully put the water spider around their waists, put on the water scratch, held a ninja staff, and went down into the water.

In the turbulent river, I saw two girls floating on the water in a sitting position, paddling the ninja stick in their hands with both hands, and at the same time, the underwater feet coordinated with the stroke of the ninja cane, and stepped on the water hard. The two paddled swiftly to the opposite bank.

The two girls landed on the opposite shore almost at the same time.

They paused among the pebbles on the shore for a moment, shed the water spiders as fast as they could, threw away their ninja staffs, and ran towards a woodland not far ahead.

The woodland in front of it is the place where the Koga ninja used to train his subordinates to use hidden weapons.

Behind the big trees in the forest, a certain number of ninjas were ambushed in advance, and each of them held a round devil mask in his hands. After the trainees enter the forest, these ninjas hiding behind the trees will raise the devil masks in their hands to the outside of the trees from time to time, and then quickly withdraw them.

The trainee must spot the masks as quickly as possible and smash them with the shuriken in their pocket until all the devil masks in the forest are shattered.

All of this must be done in a fast march. It is a comprehensive training for a ninja's eyesight, insight, quick reflexes, and ability to use hidden weapons.
