"What the hell is going on?" Hearing that the fighting outside the house had stopped, Hideho strode out the door.

Seeing Hideho walking towards him, Taitsuna and Nobutomo hurriedly bowed down, but Keiyoshi frowned and crouched beside the ninja's corpse with one fist clenched.

Xiubao saw that Keiyoshi's expression was abnormal, and asked with concern, "What, did you find any clues?" ”

"The minister already knows who is behind it." As he spoke, Jing Ji slowly released his right hand, and a shuriken came into the eyes of everyone present. Keiji pointed to the pattern on the side blade of the shuriken and said to Hideho, "Your Highness, this is obvious. ”

"Aoi Mitsuba!" Xiubao couldn't help but be stunned, and took the shuriken in his hand and checked it repeatedly, as if he couldn't believe the result. Keiji bowed down and replied, "Exactly, this is indeed the family crest of the Tokugawa family, and this matter must be inseparable from His Royal Highness the Inner Palace." ”

As soon as the Tokugawa family was mentioned, Taitsuna excitedly rebuked: "This must be the ghost of Yagyu Soyan and Hattori Hanzo, the minister has long heard that they have trained a group of dead soldiers as ninjas, and they will go to all parts of the country to collect information for the Tokugawa family." You have also seen it, my lord, this person is not afraid of death, he must be one of these ninjas. ”

Xiubao knew that Taigang and Zong Yan had a grudge, and always wanted to splash dirty water on him, but this time it was too obvious and far-fetched. When Hideho hesitated, Nakato Nobutomo respectfully asked, "Can the lord give this thing to the villain to see." ”

If he hadn't spoken, Hidebo would have really forgotten this little surname who had made a great contribution, and thinking that this person had some ability, he handed the shuriken to him.

"Don't fall for it, this thief is definitely not a ninja of the Tokugawa family." As soon as the believer got the shuriken, he said with certainty.

Tai Tsunade obviously didn't want to accept this conclusion, and scolded with a displeased face: "This is engraved with the family crest of the Tokugawa family, don't talk nonsense about you kid." ”

The believer was not deterred by the might of this sword hero, but asked in a tone of contempt: "The villain takes the liberty of asking, since he is a loyal dead soldier who must be ready to die at any time, how can he risk the discovery of the master's family and mark the family crest on his belongings?" This is one of the basic qualities of a ninja. ”

"Cut, don't say anything about you, kid, you're not a ninja, how can you know what a ninja thinks." Taegang retorted disappretently.

Seeing that Tai Gang was so aggressive, the believer didn't give in: "Please also ask Lord Shangquan not to say anything, you are not a villain, how do you know that the villain doesn't know the ninja's thoughts?" ”

"Are you kid looking for death?!" Taigang angrily reached out and drew his saber.

"Wait," Xiubao scolded, "do you still take me seriously?" ”

"The minister (villain) is guilty, and I ask the lord to forgive him." The two knelt down in fear.

"Alright," Hideho motioned for the two of them to stand up, staring at Nobuyo with his eyes, and asked curiously, "I want to know too, how can you be so sure?" ”

The believer bowed deeply and replied respectfully: "The villain does not dare to deceive His Highness, since the age of five, the villain has been raised by his father to the leader of the Wind Demon Party in Hakone Mountain, although he was unable to join the ninja because he was young, but he has a clear understanding of the situation of the Wind Demon Party, and it is easy to see through these little tricks. ”

"Oh, so you're the apprentice of Wind Demon Kotaro?" Xiubao couldn't help but become interested in this teenager.

Nobuyo was not modest, and nodded a little proudly: "The lord is wise, and the villain is the apprentice of the fifth-generation Wind Demon Kotaro, Nakato Shintomo." ”

Kotaro is the name of the leader of the Hojo clan's ninja party, a ninja army based in Mt. Hakone.

As a group of ninjas in the country of Xiangmo, he has been serving the Hojo clan since Hojo Sakumo founded the foundation, and has gone through five generations of Hojo family heads such as Sakumo, Clantsuna, Clan Yasu, Clan Masa, and Clan Nao, and is a key force in the development of the Hojo clan from a small wealthy clan in Kokokuji Temple to a daimyo who dominates the entire Kanto region.

Because the leader of the Wind Demon Party is used to taking "Wind Demon" as his surname and "Kotaro" as his name, the leaders of the past generations are called Wind Demon Kotaro. This name will be passed down from generation to generation with the head of the family and the secret book of ninja.

When Hideyoshi led an army of more than 200,000 to besiege Odawara, the Wind Demon clan never gave up, coexisted with the main family, and almost all of them were martyred on the day of the opening of the city. The few remaining Wind Demon Ninjas remained in Kanto, but they had been converted from the Hojo clan's royal ninjas to thieves.

However, at the same time, the Takeda family's ninja group also lost their lord and drifted to Edo, and the two groups fought for power and profit in Edo. Tokugawa Ieyasu couldn't bear it anymore, and finally ordered the arrest of these two groups, but the Wind Demon clan and the Takeda ninja actually reported each other, and finally all of them were arrested and imprisoned, and the fifth generation Kotaro was also executed in 1603, so far the Wind Demon clan was finally extinct, of course, these are all later words, and now Kotaro should still be stealing chickens and dogs in Edo.

Hideho liked this arrogant boy a little, and although he knew the current situation of the Wind Demon Party, he still teased: "How can the apprentice of the famous Wind Demon Kotaro be willing to be the little surname of his family?" ”

Nobutomo replied with a sincere face, "After the death of the Hojo family, the family teacher was forced to live in seclusion in Edo, and the villain returned to his grandfather to run an izakaya, and later became a member of the family thanks to the help of Konosuke-sama. I heard Konosuke-sama say,Asai-sama、Nasu-sama are all because of the lord's support to restore the family name.,My Nakato clan is a tributary of the Nagao clan, one of the Kamakura party Banto Hachihei clan.,It's also a famous family.,After the Tokugawa Inner Mansion was changed to Kanto.,Grandfather didn't surrender in time.,Had to face the fate of change.,So the villain hopes..."

"Wait," Hideho interrupted Nobuyo's request and said solemnly, "You don't think you can restore your family name with this merit, do you?" ”

"Of course not," the believer shook his head and said mysteriously, "but the villain wants to make this deal with His Highness with one thing." ”

"You're making a deal with me too?" Xiubao laughed, "Tell me, what is so weighty that it can be exchanged for the revival of the family name?" ”

The believer pointed to the ninja on the ground, and said: "That's it, forgive the villain for being presumptuous, if there are enough ninjas in this family, and the intelligence network is strong enough, this person will definitely not be able to enter the Honmaru, which shows that His Highness still lacks talents in this regard." ”

Hideho bowed slightly, and said in his heart: Although it has long been ordered to go to recruit Koga Iga's ninjas to form an intelligence network, most of Koga's ninjas have become Hideyoshi's royal ninjas, and it is not appropriate to quote them, Iga's ninjas have long been enveloped by Ieyasu, and the rest are overwhelmed miscellaneous fish, so they have not formed a sufficient scale until now.

"The villain is willing to go to Kanto and recruit the Wind Demon Party for the lord, the Wind Demon Party and Koga and Iga ninjas belong to different schools and have no intersection with each other, and it will be much safer to include them in the intelligence network of the family than to recruit the ninjas of Koga Iga, and please rest assured that their abilities will never be lost to such ninjas in."

"That's the deal you said?" Hideho looked kindly at the young man in front of him.

"Isn't that tempting enough?" The faithful asked stubbornly.

"Okay, just do as you say," Xiubao tapped the head of the faithful with a folding fan, and said with appreciation, "This matter will be left to you, don't leak the news, as long as these wind demons can satisfy me, I will definitely restore your family name." ”

Hearing Hidebo's promise, the faithful burst into tears, immediately bowed down, and vowed to fulfill Hideho's trust no matter what.

After solving the problem of the intelligence network, Xiubao's mood was also cloudy, but there were more important things to solve in front of him, so he hurriedly ordered his followers to call Gao Hu out of the inner room, pointed to the corpse on the ground, and asked expectantly: "Come on, the first thinker of this family, tell me what you think?" ”
