Chapter 4 The Rooster and the Dog Thief
Hosokawa Fujitaka and his deployment were led by Hattori Hideyasu, and his hidden figure quietly passed through the secret doors and alleys, to do some "secondary work".
On the way, he was a little distracted, and he kept thinking about who the Lord of the Pingshou Criminal Department had arranged to complete the "main work".
The answer lies within a distance of less than two hundred paces around you - of course, such a thing is hard to imagine, but if you are an elite ninja with rich intelligence experience, there is a certain chance that you will find some clues from the clues.
It's a pity that Hosokawa Fujitaka is not an "elite ninja with rich intelligence experience".
There was no such person under his command.
……
"Now that we're here, let's introduce myself." The man with a yawning face with blank eyes opened his mouth very casually: "The one on my left is a genius girl who is omnipotent in both civil and military affairs, according to the arrangement of the Lord of the Criminal Department, it is called Suzumiya Haruhi." On the right is Asahina Minoru who is good at using her natural advantages to communicate with men. Originally, there were two companions, but Furuizumi was injured, and Nagato fell ill and lost his memory. As for me...... The Lord of the Criminal Department has not arranged an official pseudonym, and I am not interested in thinking of one, anyway, you don't need to call me, you can communicate with Lianggong if you have something. ”
"Trust me Ito's reputation, you should know a little. At least Hattori-sama should mention it to you......" A young man who was not too outstanding in appearance but had an inexplicable attraction smiled slightly: "That's right, I'm not dead. And Lord Saionji and Lord Katsura have already agreed to cooperate with me, although they still hate me, but after all, it is for the sake of their only daughter......"
"Hmm...... Actually, I don't think I need a pseudonym, but Lord Criminals must call me Lawrence......" The loyal Nanban merchant scratched his scalp helplessly and said, "I am good at domesticating animals, and I have always been ordered to raise wolf dogs in Kyoto. By the way, my wife is an orphan raised by wolves, so her personality is a little strange, please don't care, I don't know why the Punishment Department has to call her Helo......"
After a short silence and observation, a young woman named Haruhi Suzumiya stepped forward, clasped her hands on her chest, and frowned, "Although I didn't know your identity before, I was a little surprised today, but I remember that the Hishote Punishment Department should have arranged five detachments in Kyoto. ”
"Aha, Miss Beauty's question, of course, should be answered without hesitation." Makoto Ito bowed down and smiled, "Maybe the Flat Punishment Department doesn't want me to know too much, but...... In fact, I probably know that Uejo, Misaka, and one side were dealt with because they were tired of this kind of life and wanted to be ordinary people. Sigh...... It's a big deal to say this in front of the beautiful lady Suzumiya......"
"In this case, the old man will also share a piece of news." Lawrence smiled innocently, as if he had no scheming: "The ladies of Pyeongsawa and Akiyama used the identity of the orchestra as a cover, but they accidentally developed too well and became too famous, which led to unexpected disasters...... They should have been here today, but it's a pity ......"
"That's right!" Hearing what happened to her companion, the genius girl not only did not feel scared, but clenched her fists and said excitedly: "Interesting! It's so interesting! It's much more interesting to burn incense at the shrine than it used to be! Hey Ah Xu, your expression is not surprised at all, did you already know? Why didn't you tell me! ”
"What a lively discussion!" Hattori Hideyasu, who had already left, suddenly reappeared at some point, looked around and said coldly: "Indeed, Lord Crime, said that you have a special identity, as long as you can complete the task, all your mistakes can be forgiven, even I only know your identity and have no authority to give orders...... But I would like to remind you that in the past few years, there have been not five groups of 'dark special teams' sent by the Criminal Department before and after, but ten! Think about it! ”
Behind him was a shocked Hosokawa Fujitaka, who was just brought over to recognize the head of the person by the way to prevent misunderstanding.
But Hosokawa Fujitaka's brain is quite flexible and durable, and he realized from just a few words that he knew something terrible. On the one hand, he was a little afraid, and on the other hand, he felt lucky.
On the way, Hattori Hidean also revealed a little cryptic information.
On the whole, in recent years, the Heishou Punishment Department has spent a huge amount of money and arranged many lurkers near Kyoto. These lurkers have their own unique skills, but usually perform only a handful of simple, directionless tasks, and they only lurk to wait for a crucial day to be played.
Over the years, it is conceivable how many of them will have accidents that lead to investment failure.
Hattori Hideyasu said that he "sent ten groups", and today he only looked at three groups.
So will there actually be more than ten groups? Or some groups don't even know about Hattori Hideyasu?
If it weren't for the anticipation of the turmoil in Kyoto, it would have been a brain convulsion to do something that would have cost so much energy.
In fact, out of concern for the "inertia of history", Hite-hoshu arranged these extravagant countermeasures for the "change of Honnoji".
By mistake, it was used in an unexpected place.
……
“…… After all, there are not many of us, although you have unique skills, you also need to be cautious, you should take advantage of the situation, fortunately the other party can use the manpower is also not enough, so, so this is ......"
Hattori Hideyasu made the plan clear.
Then Hosokawa Fujitaka secretly judged in his heart that the so-called "the order of the criminal department has not yet arrived" is definitely a lie.
Because he's dealt with Hattori Hidean many times, he probably knows the true level of intelligence of this guy.
Of course, Hosokawa Fujitaka will definitely not express what he thinks in his heart.
The rest of the groups of people listened to the order with different expressions, some worried, some excited, some disappreciated, and some still thinking.
But only Haruhi Suzumiya unruly raised his head with his hands on his hips, and openly showed his dissatisfaction to Hattori Hideyasu, and said proudly: "Why are you giving orders?" To be clear, although I think it's fun and willing to participate, I'm not anyone's subordinate, including your great-sounding criminal department-sama! I think that's what your plan is, it's not interesting at all......"
She chattered endlessly.
Both the Ito and Lawrence groups were dumbfounded, the former forgetting to maintain a seductive demeanor, and the latter not bothering to pretend to be honest. Although they are also more reckless, bold, and fearless people - otherwise they would not offend people who should not be offended and forced to run away and end up in this line of work - but the two of them were still taken aback by Haruhi Suzumiya.
Hattori Hideyasu, who has always been regarded as the "Iron Mask Ghost King", was also stunned for a while.
If the subordinates dare to speak like this, they will be dragged out to fill the Seto Inland Sea.
But in front of these groups of people, the Lord of the Criminal Department clearly said, "The nature of the work of the infiltrators is special, and you are just the one who informs them of the action, and you can't dictate them." ”
As a result, Hattori Hideyasu, who was good at executing orders but not at all good at thinking, suddenly froze in his brain.
Fortunately, at this time, the man who was very lazy and did not have a pseudonym said lightly: "Okay, Chunri, this time it's a serious matter, just be obedient, how about accompanying you to make trouble in the future?" ”
Coincidentally, Haruhi Liangmiya, who was originally so arrogant that he couldn't even accept the world, heard this voice, but pouted unhappily, lowered his head and whispered: "I know Ah Xu." ”
Then, as if he was dissatisfied with his performance, he suddenly snorted heavily with his head on his chest and muttered to himself: "Ah Xu, big fool! Never tie a ponytail again! ”
As for the crimson expression on her face, I don't know why.
Lawrence was surprised when he saw this: "Under the proud and powerful exterior, the heart is actually a traditional Fusang woman who is 100% obedient to her husband's arrangement, but she refuses to admit defeat in her mouth...... It was an eye-opening exoticism. ”
Makoto Ito shook his head again and again and sighed: "Alas, in front of Miss Suzumiya, even Yan Ye and the world will be overshadowed, but it's a pity...... People don't know, but I still know how terrible that person called 'Ah Xu' is......"
"Alas...... Just say don't call me Ah Xu. The lazy and tired man shook his head and said, "It's okay if the Lord of the Criminal Department calls it that, if you call it indiscriminately, I'm afraid I'll get angry if I hear it too much, in case I do something that both parties regret...... In addition, Kasuga is obedient, so please rest assured. ”
Suzumiya Haru is about to have a seizure again, and although he is reluctant under Ah Xu's gaze, he still meekly lowers his head and pouts without saying a word.
"Ahaha, it's a little bit of a problem, don't mind~" Asahina Minoru who is said to be "good at using her natural advantages to communicate with men" showed a smile that could be sweet and dead, and came out to play a round.
The extremely attention-grabbing capital on her chest trembled with laughter, and it was extremely eye-catching.
Ito Makoto's eyes straightened when he saw this, and he was about to go up subconsciously, but he suddenly thought of something, stopped his movements, and asked vigilantly: "What kind of relationship is there between you and the Void King?" Will I be ...... if I shoot at you?"
"Aha, Ito-sama, this is a forbidden thing that I can't tell you!" Asahina Minoru narrowed one eye, tilted his head, and put his right index finger to his mouth.
"It's really troublesome between people, but it's very simple between wolves." Lawrence's wife, Harrow, who was said to have been "raised by wolves," calmly uttered the only line.
"Then please start quickly." Hattori Hideyasu still had a dead man's expression, but he finally breathed a deep sigh of relief in his heart, and at the same time felt deeply tired.
This has not officially started to act, it already makes people feel messy, a group of chickens and dogs, I don't know if they have real skills, can they complete the trust of the criminal department?
It feels completely unreliable, but there is nothing to be done.
In an instant, the people in the room disappeared one by one, and only Hosokawa Fujitaka came to ask: "Shall we also hurry up?" ”
Seeing the polite appearance of the world-famous cultural person, Hattori Hidean finally regained a little state, cheered up, nodded, and led people to act without saying a word.
