Modern Malacca, with the world's largest trade turnover, has become one of the most prosperous regions in the country. Five hundred years ago, it was also the most commercially developed place. The price of land in the center of the town was high, so the new base of Mochiji Santaifu was located near the current suburban area of Mazhidana.

This is a very large manor, by the sea, the whole building highlights a kind of East-West fusion characteristics, it can be seen that this manor was decorated in Western style before, but the owner of the yard later carried out the transformation of oriental style, from a distance, quite a Han and Tang Dynasty heritage.

I walked to the gate of the manor with a few people, and immediately someone stopped us and asked what we were going to do. I smiled faintly and said, "It's Ishikawa Goemon who is in charge now?" You just tell him, and you say that Sun Qilan is here. ”

Shimoshinobu who guards the gate seems to be from a local background, so it's definitely not surprising that he hasn't seen me, but from his expression, he seems to have an impression of the name, but he can't remember where he's heard it. So the young man didn't say a word, and let the others follow us first, but he quickly turned around and ran into the courtyard.

After a while, several wind-breaking sounds sounded in the courtyard, and several agile figures appeared in front of me—it was none other than Ishikawa Goemon, who was missing an eye. When I walked five steps away from me, he recognized me at a glance! Without saying a word, he immediately landed on one knee and bowed to me!

"It turned out that Mr. had arrived! If you miss the distance, I hope you will forgive me! "Ishikawa Goemon still impressed me as a life-saver, and after meeting me, he showed great enthusiasm. I don't know how the little character next to me salutes or thinks, so I walked over quickly, picked up Ishikawa Goemon with both hands and said, "Farewell for three years, Ishikawa-kun is okay?" What about the chieftains of the Hundred Lands? ”

Ishikawa Goemon said with some excitement: "Yes! It's been three years! I still remember the night my husband rescued us! I'm okay, I'm good at training novices, and I've also trained some good seedlings who can go out in the field. It's just that he ...... the leader of a hundred lands."

I frowned and said, "What's wrong with him?" ”

Ishikawa Goemon pursed his lips, and Fang approached me and whispered: "After the head of Hyakchi came to Malacca, he always said that he was not used to living in this hot and humid place, and after discussing with his son Hyakji Hesheng, he had moved to Naha to live in seclusion alone, but I never told anyone about it. ”

I sighed, nodded, and said, "It's okay if you're okay!" Where to live comfortably only you know, don't restrain the elderly! ”

Ishikawa Goemon grinned and said, "Exactly! I sent four little ones to take care of him, and two veterans to protect him full-time, so there must be no problem! ”

As we spoke, we had entered the manor. It's a different story inside. From the outside, it looks like a planting manor, but when I came in, I realized that it was indeed a "planting manor", but it was planted with excellent ninja seedlings!

To put it simply, inside the high walls of the manor, there is a complete ninja training ground, with landscapes and forests, pavilions, rope paths, winding paths, and all the equipment and terrain used in training. In the words of Ishikawa Goemon, because of the development of commerce here, many of the materials themselves are better, so the construction effect even surpasses the stronghold of the Iga ninja themselves!

The nine ghosts Masataka, Kite, Lan, Mo and others who were born in Iga were all amazed, and they couldn't imagine that in the South Seas, thousands of miles away, the Iga people had built a new home!

I looked at the instruments in front of me, and I had a different feeling. In my previous life, Uncle Suzuki trained me, and he also made such a set of all-terrain adaptation equipment, which made me take off a few layers of skin. After meeting the third uncle in this life, when training in Bijia Mountain in Jinzhou, although there was not so much formal equipment, but with the flowers, trees, birds, beasts, insects and fish there, the effect was not bad......

When you arrive at the main hall, there is a large plaque of "loyalty" hanging on the shadow wall, and the walls on both sides are full of writing on the art of war. I sipped my tea and listened to Ishikawa Goemon tell the story of the past few years.

Back then, I rescued Hyakichi Santaifu from Takigawa Kazuki and Kuki Yoshitaka, as well as Ishikawa Goemon, who was injured Ichimo, and took them out to sea, and after defeating the pursuing Kuki Yoshitaka, I broke up at sea.

I returned to the Ming Dynasty and immediately met the third uncle. Chen Kui and Murong Qin, who had disappeared, took a boat to the Western Ocean and bought back five Calais clippers. On the other hand, Mitsuo Hyakuchi and Goemon Ishikawa took the last boat and the start-up capital I financed, and sailed all the way across the ocean to Malacca.

After seeing his father, Baidi Danbo Hesheng was naturally surprised and burst into tears. When he left, Dongying's situation was already quite bad, he only thought that he fled in a hurry for the sake of the Baidi family's "stay", and he didn't expect to see his father one day!

After learning that it was me who came to the rescue, Baidi Tanba Hesheng was also full of emotion, knowing that I wanted them to build a ninja training camp here and only train their own cronies, Baidi Tanba Hesheng, who already had a small amount of savings, immediately donated this large manor as a base for all work.

At this time, the third Taifu of Hyakuchi was already disheartened, and everything was left to Ishikawa Goemon to do. This hot-blooded man was far away from Dongying's killing and being killed, and he was already a little uncomfortable, but he was naturally very happy after receiving this task.

However, the start was not so easy. First, most people do not understand the language, and it is very difficult to interact with the enemy; Second, the people who come here don't know much about the ninja group, and because of the secrecy of their profession, they are not good at hype, so it is very difficult to absorb new blood.

It wasn't until the following year, when two ninjas who knew Chinese married local wives, that the group slowly integrated into the local society. Or rather, the locals are just beginning to accept these seemingly "mysterious" guys.

Their business is also gradually expanding, of course, mainly some "soft business" such as intelligence espionage and message transmission, and correspondingly, some "hard business" that needs to see blood is mainly aimed at overseas. Not so long ago, the Memphis Chamber of Commerce came to invite them and wanted to assassinate Simmons Kuhn. They ask for a high price, and the other party is very happy. But after looking for a long time, I couldn't find Simmons Kuhn, and the time limit passed, and the contract had to be voided.

Of course, due to the inaccurate information provided by the Memphis family, Ishikawa Goemon still received a deposit of 30% according to the rules. The Memphis Chamber of Commerce had no objections, only saying that they would cooperate in the future. Today they found out that the reason they couldn't find Simmons Kuhn was because he was caught by me, which is really hard to know where to start!

In the past few years, the entire new Iga operation has gradually entered the normal, and the original old people have slowly reached the management, that is, at least above the middle ninja, and the new blood has enriched the lower ninja class.

According to my request, these shinobi are selected from different groups. This can be seen in the variety of skin tones.

At this point, I also explained my purpose - before I went to the West, I needed to find someone who could handle different situations - for the simple reason that my current team, except for Rodriguez, the ship doctor, who was white, looked like an Oriental face. When you go to the West, you often need to act in secrecy, and this face has become the most important stealth weapon.

Ishikawa Goemon naturally didn't have a word, he thought about it and recommended four shinobi to me.

Four shinobi, three men and one woman, are also good at different fields. There were three Caucasians among the four men, and one was very dark-skinned, with thick lips that looked like a player from the African plateau. When asked, this guy is also a descendant of sailors, adhering to the principle of where sailors go and where they are born, he doesn't know who his parents are and where they are, he only knows that Iga is his home, and I am the boss of their boss, and he will definitely listen to me.

I nodded and smiled, the lad is very good, I like it. The young man speaks five African languages and some Spanish. Of course, Chinese and Japanese are also available. I pinched my fingers and counted, drink, this kid is also a high-end white-collar worker who can speak seven languages! The name is "Yu", I remember.

The three white shinobi are good at different fields. What particularly caught my attention was the only woman known as "Zhi", Shinobi, whose specialty turned out to be - Chinese medicine!

Okay, I'm going to let Rodriguez inspect her more, and if she has excellent character and skills, I will chase after her and give her Mamaha Di's TCM experience, so that she can become the second doctor and chief TCM doctor in our fleet.

The other two are "Ei", who is good at blowing, playing, singing, and barding poetry, and "Gong", who is proficient in ventriloquism and onomatopoeia. Well, now I know that the names of these guys are based on their own characteristics, or well, at a glance!

Needless to say, eating and drinking, knowing that I was coming, Baidi Tanbo Hesheng, who specially rushed back to meet, brought a precious gift - the secret weapon treasured by the third wife of Baidi - the sun and moon meteor. There are three kinds of nine hidden weapons in this set, which is extremely difficult to operate, but it is not difficult for me to master the eagle feather style.

The meaning of the third wife of Baidi, he has been far away from the rivers and lakes, so he naturally does not need these male weapons, so he gave them to me together.

For such a heart, I naturally laughed at it.

Early the next morning, we left the Shin-Iga Ninja Training Camp with four more people in the group.

Back at the headquarters of the Blade Sea Chamber of Commerce, I finally made arrangements - the five large North Sea three-masted galleons that were snatched back from the Kuhn Chamber of Commerce were all left to Grandfather Ye, and I was mainly worried that the Kuhn Chamber of Commerce would secretly retaliate, so I did everything possible to strengthen the local strength.

Grandfather Ye naturally has no objections, and the only hope that Uncle Ye put forward is that after I arrive in the West, I will take care of it without regrets, even if I don't become a talent, at least I must be safe. Of course, I know that.

Ma Wei originally wanted to stay and help Grandfather Ye and his people run the Chamber of Commerce. I know what he was thinking, he was looking for an opportunity to attack Simmons Kuhn. I spoke to him in detail and shared my concerns. I suggest that in the big picture, he can go with me first, and as for the Kuhn Chamber of Commerce, the next time we meet, we will definitely settle the new and old accounts together.

Mavi listened to my words, and without any other expression, accepted my arrangement, and rushed to the West together.

After another day of packing up inside and out, reinforcing and replenishing five medium-sized ships, it was time for us to leave again and head west at dawn the next day.

Grandfather Ye and the others were naturally sent to the port, watching me go to sea, and after we set sail, they couldn't stop waving goodbye. I couldn't help but tear up and wave goodbye. It wasn't until we could no longer see each other that we left the deck and entered the cabin.

Next stop, the Indian Ocean!
