Shi Lang's words fell, and the ninjas who were hiding in the corner with the "Quail Shrinking Technique" immediately stood up comfortably, pulled out the ninja knives behind their backs and rushed forward. At the same time, three ninjas holding ninja swords rushed out of the main room, and these three were the sisters Yoshino and Michiko Kato. All ninjas are dressed in tight-fitting black nightcoats with black hoods on their heads.

Shi Lang glanced at the ninjas of the Japanese Kingdom who came forward, and calmly pulled out the embroidered spring knife on his body. Under the illumination of the moonlight, the blade of the embroidered spring knife was cold and cold, and the cold was pressing. Ye Ruliu leaned closely to Shi Lang's side, holding the deadly rose thorn in his hand, ready to attack.

"Bold Mingren, we've been waiting for a long time." A half-baked Chinese voice came from among the ninjas, and it was the voice of the middle shinobi Yoshino among the Koga ninjas.

"No more nonsense!" Shi Lang said, swinging his knife and slashing at the head of the ninja closest to him in front of him. The rose thorn in Ye Ruliu's hand also stabbed at a ninja in front of him at the same time.

More than a dozen ninjas all surrounded and stabbed Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu with their knives.

As we mentioned earlier, the blade of this ninja knife is originally short, and the handle takes up nearly one-third of the length of the blade, so the arc of the ninja knife and the force of the slash are small. Therefore, most of the combat techniques of the ninja knife are based on stabbing.

The embroidered spring knife is much longer than the ninja knife, so in terms of attack moves, it can not only stab, but also vigorously slash and slash, which is much richer than the ninja knife in terms of combat techniques, and the killing power is far more than the ninja knife.

Because they had fought against ninjas many times, Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu already knew the ninja's combat techniques well. Therefore, the two people use the way of leaning on each other in the response, as long as they deal with their own fronts and the stabbing attacks of the opponents on the left and right, they will basically not leave any flaws for the other party.

Between the swords and swords, three ninjas have died under Shi Lang's embroidered spring knife and Ye Ruliu's deadly rose stab. The two of them leaned against each other, and retreated to the door of the main house to the north as they fought, and chose the opportunity to retreat into the room.

The space in the room is small, and it is difficult for the ninja to form a siege on the two. Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu simply occupied the favorable terrain and slashed and assassinated as much as they could.

Shi Lang was familiar with the layout of the room, and while fighting, he came to the desk table under the north wall facing the door, and while fighting with the other party, he inserted a piece of residual incense into the incense ash in the copper incense burner in front of the statue of Yue Wumu enshrined on the desk. (Note: The two major spy agencies of the Ming Dynasty, Jinyiwei and Dongchang, all enshrined the statue of Yue Fei in their yamen, in order to flaunt themselves and confuse the officials of the court and the people of the world.) ）

Seeing that the task of this trip had been completed, Shi Lang stepped forward and killed Ye Ruliu's side and whispered, "Withdraw!" ”

Ye Ruliu understood, sighed softly in his mouth, and together with Shi Lang, he went out of the door and retreated to the big trees in the south of the courtyard.

The ninja behind him followed the two and chased them with knives.

When he was still about three meters away from those big trees, Shi Lang suddenly stretched out his left hand, held Ye Ruliu up and said softly: "Hold me tight!" ”

Ye Ruliu couldn't understand Shi Lang's intentions for a while, so she had to follow Shi Lang's words and hold Shi Lang tightly with both hands.

I saw Shi Lang holding Ye Ruliu in his arms, and a few flashes and movements under his feet, crossing the barren grassland, and coming to the big tree under the south wall, he used the inertia of his body to lift Ye Ruliu to the tree.

Ye Ruliu used his strength to stretch his arms lightly, and with a dexterous lift, his body had steadily jumped onto the high wall. Shi Lang also jumped forward, clasped the tree with both hands, kicked the wall with both feet, and the whole body jumped into the air, bending over the top of the wall while holding Ye Ruliu's outstretched hand.

Just when the two of them were standing on top of the wall, they heard the screaming sound of "whooshing" behind them. Immediately after, the screams of several ninjas were heard. The three ninjas were killed instantly after being hit by arrows fired by a mechanism within three meters of the tree.

In fact, Shi Lang wasn't sure if the mechanism under the tree still existed. However, when he was three meters away from the big tree, he quickly picked up Ye Ruliu, and according to the method of avoiding the mechanism introduced to him by the square handle at the beginning, he deftly avoided the mechanism that might exist under his feet. The three ninjas who followed closely behind him were shot into hedgehog-like shapes by arrows shot from the mechanism.

Just as the two sides in the courtyard were fighting, a night walker wearing a black thorn suit and a black mask appeared on the ridge of the house.

"Stop the pursuit!" Yoshino, who was behind him, saw that his companion was shot, and quickly ordered.

Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu both jumped off the wall and quickly disappeared into the night.

"Michiko, has the Ichor been applied to the opponent?" Yoshino asked, plunging the ninja knife into its sheath and turning around.

"Back to the team leader, the spiritual fluid has been smeared on the opponent's body, and it has not been noticed by the opponent." Michiko replied.

"Very well, the next step is to play the role of our ninja dog Akrus. Hehe! Yoshino let out two sinister laughs.

"The elder is really like a god, we have only been on guard for less than two hours, and the other rabbit has come to hit the tree." This is the voice of Mieko Kato.

"Go, take our Akruz with you, chase!" In the bright moonlight, Yoshino's two thief eyes were revealed.

In the fight just now, Michiko Kato took the opportunity of hand-to-hand combat with Shi Lang, and had deftly smeared the spiritual liquid on the back waist of Shi Lang's piercing suit. Shi Lang didn't notice.

This spiritual fluid is a potion used by Koga ninjas to track dogs, and it is made from a combination of dog urine and several special herbs. This potion is colorless and odorless to people, and has a strong adhesion, once it is applied to clothing, it immediately penetrates into the seams of clothing, it is difficult to be detected, and its medicinal effect can be maintained for three days.

For three days, ninjas can track down the subject of the potion with the help of a specially trained ninja dog's powerful sense of smell.

The average canine has a million times the olfactory ability of humans, and the olfactory ability of specially trained ninja dogs far exceeds that.

Seeing that both sides of the fight had gone away, the masked man lying on the ridge of the house jumped down lightly, hid in the shadow at the base of the wall, squatted on the ground and listened vigilantly for a while, making sure that there was no one else in the courtyard, and then bowed against the wall and quickly flashed into the main room.

The masked man walked directly to the statue of Yue Fei in front of the desk on the north side of the room, carefully observed the incense burner, reached out and took out the residual incense inserted by Shi Lang, put it into the pocket of his chest underwear, and then turned his body lightly, and came back to the courtyard, climbed over the wall on the east side of the courtyard, and disappeared into the depths of the alley.

Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu returned to Tongfuju, but they also quietly climbed the window and entered.

After the two briefly reported the process of the trip to Luo Shiyin, Ye Ruliu went back to the room to rest.

A quarter of an hour later, in the street outside the Tongfuku Gate, sisters Yoshino and Michiko Kato led a group of Koga ninjas, led by their ninja dog Akruz, had already followed.

The Acruz is a black striped Kai dog native to the Kai region of central Wakoku, and although it is not large, it is fierce and has excellent skills such as climbing trees and swimming. Of course, as a stalking dog carefully selected and trained by Koga ninjas, its most outstanding ability is its unusually sensitive sense of smell.

"Immediately set up two monitoring points in front of and behind the inn to monitor the Ming spies in the inn and the suspicious people who came into contact with them day and night." After confirming that the person being followed had entered the Tongfuku Inn, Yoshino ordered.

Before the dawn came, the two monitoring points of the Koga ninja had been set up, one in front of the other, condescendingly, forming an all-round three-dimensional surveillance of the Daming Jinyi Guard in the Tongfu residence.

Yoshino led a team of his men to monitor the front gate of the city. Sister Michiko Kato leads another team of ninjas and is responsible for keeping an eye on the back of her fellow Fukuju.

Although there is only one front door and no back door, due to the special status of the person being monitored, the window behind the door needs to be closely monitored for the monitor, just like the door in front.

Early the next morning, all the other team members except Luo Shiyin went outside to familiarize themselves with the terrain layout in the city.

Luo Shiyin stayed in the inn alone, and the reason why he stayed was that he wanted to take this opportunity to quickly write down the enemy situation of the Japanese army in North Korea that he had detected since entering the DPRK, so as to contact the Jinyi Guards in the city, and let them be quickly sent to China, and then the domestic Jinyi Guards would be directly presented to Emperor Shenzong; The second is that once the Jinyi guards in the city receive the contact information sent by Shi Lang last night, if someone comes to visit them, there will be someone in the inn to answer.

In the afternoon, two merchants dressed as Koga ninjas stayed at the Tongfuku Inn. Coming in at the same time as them were five medicinal herb merchants with gray backpacks on their shoulders, and after the two ninjas who were pretending to be merchants checked in, they chose a larger room next to Luo Shiyin. The five of them put away their luggage and took the opportunity to eat downstairs to observe the environment in the inn in detail. After dinner, they returned to their rooms, first looked out the window to observe the surroundings carefully, and then lay down on the bed and closed their eyes.

An hour later, hearing that there were few guests moving in the corridor, the thin middle-aged man among the five people rolled over and got up, took out a wooden box from his backpack, and then quietly opened the door and came to the corridor. I saw him move lightly and come to Luo Shiyin's room.

In the room at this time, Luo Shiyin had not yet fallen asleep, and he was listening to Shi Lang introduce to him the situation of several general flag commanders in the Yamen under the command of the Jinyi Guard stationed in Korea.

The supreme commander of the North Korean Jinyi Guard Command Yamen is the Jinyi Weibei Town Fu Si Zhi Korean Affairs, and below it are a number of general flag commanders, a number of small flag commanders, and finally ordinary school captains and wrestlers, both of which are collectively referred to as Ti Cai.

The supreme commander of the North Korean Jinyi Guard in the Yamen is called Niu Tianzhou. For this person, Luo Shiyin is familiar.

Before Niu Tianzhou came to North Korea to take up his post, he was a commander of a thousand households in the command yamen of the Jinyi Guard in the capital, and he was at the same level as Shi Lang.

In the process of leading a team to arrest a corrupt official, Niu Tianzhou saw that the corrupt official's daughter was pretty, and he suddenly became ill-willed. He retreated left and right, raped the daughter of the corrupt official, thus delaying the best time to arrest him, causing the corrupt official to flee and the mission failed.

Luo Shiyin was furious and transferred Niu Tianzhou to North Korea and served as the governor of North Korea in Jinyiwei.

For Niu Tianzhou's dereliction of duty, he should have been handed over to the Jinyi Weinan Town Fu Si for removal and investigation, but he once saved Luo Shiyin's life. Luo Shiyin remembered the old love, but he still treated him lightly.

Although this Jinyi Wei knows that the Korean affairs belong to the commander of a thousand households, and Niu Tianzhou is a transfer at the same level, how can this commander of a thousand households in a remote state of North Korea be compared with the commander of a thousand households in the capital of Daming.

Luo Shiyin did not know about the officers below the commanders of the general banners in the command yamen of the North Korean Jinyi Guard. He just took this opportunity to listen to Shi Lang's introduction.
