Chapter 66: Beware of the Candle

"You two go and take a comfortable bath first, and we'll talk about the details tomorrow." Guo Jia and his entourage returned to Naguye City, and he also deliberately took the veterans back to his residence and arranged their rooms.

Some of the people in the castle tower were very strange, who these two people were, why they were arranged in a place where important guests could live, and some of them also recognized the identity of the veterans. was about to say hello, but was persuaded by Guo Jia's eyes.

When Sasaki and his son moved in, Guo Jia issued a series of orders to ensure their safety, and even called Kojiro Yamasa to solve some of their physical problems.

At this time, Shibata Katsuya's application for the transfer of troops was also sent to Guo Jia, but he did not immediately approve it, but asked the mountain fire and thunder to prepare for battle at any time, and he did not transfer the three regiments to Naguye City, and make a look to lure the snake out of the hole instead of startling the snake.

Guo Jia is very busy, and his heart is even more annoyed. Since the end of the Battle of Yuanjiang, his heart has been in turmoil, and at this time, someone told him that the Battle of Yuanjiang was far from being as simple as he imagined, and that there was a mastermind behind the scenes who controlled the whole situation. Guo Jia didn't know what it was, but for the first time, he felt that he was being manipulated by others.

In the evening, with a little earthy smell in the air of the ancient wilderness, and the stars in the sky could not be seen clearly, Guo Jia walked outside the city tower by himself, counting his footprints and thinking about something in his heart. The smell of earth in the sky was even stronger, and a drop of water fell on his hair, Guo Jia stretched out his hand and touched the top of his head, his eyes looked at the water trail in his hand, and he didn't feel it. When he raised his head, another drop of water fell on his face, and the first rain of the year came suddenly.

A short time later, a light rain blurred the castle, and a thin layer of water vapor filled the air, and the farmer was pleased that the rain was a harbinger of this year's harvest. There was no wind, and the drizzle hit the street, hitting Guo Jia's body, and he felt a little unreal in an instant, as if the scene of the ancient wilderness was also an illusion. Guo Jia, who didn't have any sense of touch, couldn't feel the texture of this drizzle.

Like ordinary people, his first thought was to take shelter from the rain, walk briskly back to the castle tower, and have a light reception at the door. After picking up the towels in their hands to wipe the rain on their heads and faces, Guo Jia planned to go back to his room. At this time, how good it would be if I took a hot bath, I was thinking about my own problems, and I smiled helplessly.

At night, when the rain was pouring down on the roof of the tower, Guo Jia lit the candlestick and read it carefully with the book. There was silence all around, and the only sound in the study was the beating of the candlesticks. Some people sleep for the next day, while others are still awake and making other preparations.

Not far from Guo Jia's residence is a row of rooms used to entertain guests. Michizo Saito, Mitsuhide Akechi and veteran Sasaki Kato. They had all taken off their clothes and were ready to pay attention, when a slight sound of footsteps came from the hallway. The footsteps were covered by raindrops, and for a moment everyone thought they had heard it wrong, except for the old and spicy Saito Michizo who picked up the katana in his hand and sat quietly at the door. Years of experience on the battlefield had taught him that the voice had bad intentions.

The perennial rush made Sasaki physically and mentally exhausted and forgot his vigilance for a while, the silent atmosphere made him drowsy, and there was only one candle in the room to make the room seem less gloomy, how long had it been since he had a good night's sleep? Sasaki looked at his sleeping son with a smile on his face, and when he blew out the only light in the room, darkness and silence filled the room, and when darkness came, a man dressed in black suddenly appeared in the hallway.

The man was as cold and powerful as if he had no life. The sound of his walk was immersed in the darkness, and his breathing seemed to fade with the silence. Only the inch-long shuriken in his hand told this space of his existence. There was obviously no light, but the black shuriken suddenly emitted a light.

Hyakchi He Yu, he is the adopted son of the Iga ninja Hyakchi Tanba, and he also learned the art of assassination under Hyakchi Tanba. This is his first mission, and he is determined to succeed. All you need to do is throw the hidden weapon out of your hand to complete this task. With such a simple and such a large bounty, he couldn't help but smile.

Hand up, knife out! Mission accomplished!

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he heard a clanging sound, and a vicious chill rushed from his head to his feet, and the mission failed!

The candlelight of the target's house was lit, and the sound of drawing knives and footsteps from the next room surrounded him from all directions. He Yu's first mission ended in failure, he looked around, and the fluctuation of killing intent gradually spread towards him, and there was no place where there was a gap. Hit the trick! He couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, but he didn't panic and took out another sword. He has his own pride, and he doesn't take this group of Owari rabble seriously at all, as one of the three ninjas.

Suddenly, the dark corridor was filled with killing intent and the sword light and sword shadows shining with weapons, the crisp impact sound came and went, wisps of killing intent permeated, and the entire guest hall became a battlefield for ninjas to fight, no one could interfere here, Saito Michizo did not put down the weapon in his hand, but his heart was even more nervous, he didn't know what was happening, but he knew that the outside of the room had become a battlefield for assassins.

Sasaki Kato was holding his child, holding the katana used to decorate the room, and in front of him was a ninja dressed in black with Yin characters embroidered on it, and he was also surrounded by the same people, who were guarded by members who were unaware. They didn't explain this to Sasaki, they just told him to wait in peace.

A lantern candlelight appeared in the darkness of the corridor, and the dim light gradually approached here, and a lot of light appeared in other houses, and the corridor was gradually illuminated.

Baidi He Yu could no longer hide, and the ninjas who were fighting with him also appeared at the same time, one by one, their uniforms were embroidered with a yin character, and everyone had a murderous weapon in their hands, and they stared at Baidi He Yu coldly.

"As a ninja but a fool's lackey, I don't know where your glory is!" Baidi He Yu realized that he couldn't get out anymore, and his mouth smiled bitterly and let out mocking words.

However, he didn't get any answer, but instead attacked more violently, and everyone cooperated seamlessly, and it didn't take long to get injuries on He Yu's body.

The small wounds were constantly consuming the life of He Yu of Baidi, and he finally realized that if he did not surrender at this time, he would only get back death. He checked his equipment, one of the few spiral darts, a shuriken, and a fire breaker. None of them can defuse his current situation.

A figure carrying a lantern in the distance also came here, and next to him was Takigawa Kazuki. The more sophisticated and richer equipment told Baidi He Yu that he couldn't assassinate this person at all.

The light of the lantern shone on the face of the figure, and the delicate face appeared from the darkness, it was Guo Jia.

"It's dry, watch out for the candles!" Guo Jia's voice was full of mockery, leading the snake out of the hole!

"I remember your name was Kamedasu, but I guess that's not your real name." Guo Jia looked at this person, he had seen this person in the Yin Regiment.

"Hmph, Oda Kuoka-sama!" Baidi He Yu gritted his teeth and greeted Guo Jia viciously.

"You can't escape." Guo Jia smiled, this person turned out to be an internal ghost. And it was also placed in his most important military battle group.

"I know." He Yu, who was poor in donkey skills, threw all his weapons on the ground, but he had a dart hidden in his sleeve, and he had to wait for Guo Jia to let down his vigilance and kill with one blow.

"Take your clothes off, I know your methods." Guo Jia smiled lightly, not worried about this ninja. Because he once asked Takigawa Kazuyi about their profession, and the answer he got almost shocked his big teeth.

Ninjas are all weapons, weapons that can kill people alive. Unless you completely restrain him, you won't be able to catch him at all.

"Actually, my name is Kameda Su, my name is Hyaki Hoha." He shook off all his weapons and undressed one by one.

These actions and He Yu's words made Takikawa Yiyi vigilant, and he had darts ready in his hand. Because he knew what the ninja's last name represented.

"Don't panic, I won't do it." He Yu smiled, he knew that once he made his move, he would face thousands of darts coming at him. It doesn't matter if you sell a little to survive.

"Say it! Say something useful. Guo Jia smiled, admiring this reasonable person.

"What do you want to know? I know a lot! "Baidi He Yu is negotiating conditions with Guo Jia.

"It's not what I want to know, it's what you want to say." Guo Jia's meaning has been clarified, you want to live I know, so do you have any information that can survive? If you don't, you can die.

"You've been targeted by that guy, you know?" Baidi He Yu raised his head and looked at the sky.

This action instantly let Guo Jia and others know what he meant. The tree is bigger than the forest, and the wind will destroy it! They are all targeted by the biggest ruler of the island nation, but the question is, why is this person in conflict with them?

"You're growing so fast." Baidi He Yu shook his head, knelt down and wanted to talk in detail.

But Guo Jia frowned, realizing that this person should know a lot of things. His assassination of Sasaki must have been instigated by the people who designed Enoe to attack Owari, but what he was saying now was something that shocked Guo Jia even more. The emperor of the island nation has his eye on them, and there must be some connection between the two. Otherwise, he would not have been allowed to make such statements.

"Take him down first, and talk about it tomorrow." Guo Jia is now in a cold sweat, he still plans to take a look at Kato Sasaki's situation before interrogating.

Baidi He Yu, this person must have something to do with the emperor, and there is also a connection with the Battle of Yuanjiang, there is nothing in common between the two, and there are all kinds of doubts.

What exactly is it? Guo Jia is not a detective, and he can't find any key in these words.
