"You have to compliment it, right? She had been wandering around the mountains of Tamba for ten months for this purpose! Even if he is as virtuous as Xianzhi, when he talks about this "masterpiece" carefully planned by himself, he can't help but feel a little proud. At her call, three people came in and knelt down in front of me, and at this moment Xianzhi was pointing to the one on the right and talking.

"You...... It's so hard! My smile was forced, and I could feel the stiffness of my facial muscles. I complained again in my heart about Xianzhi's sudden attack, and she pointed out that this person was actually Ying's maid - Little Crane!

At this moment, the little crane has changed his usual outfit, wearing a snow-white silk kimono, kneeling there with a humble attitude, he can't see that he is a ninja, of course, the little fox on the other side is also dressed like this, and he also doesn't look like a ninja! I've not paid much attention to this little crane in the past, so much so that I haven't noticed her disappearing for nearly a year, but it's not easy for a daimyo to notice the state of each subordinate at the same time.

If this surprised me, then another thing is a little laughable! Between Xiaohe and Xiaohu, it was actually Xianzhi's maid in the past, and now my concubine - Ah Die, this joke seems to be a bit too big, and the woman I have been sleeping with for more than a year is actually this identity!

"You have made a great contribution to this incident, and I will not forget your achievements all the time!" No matter how embarrassing it was, at least their results should be encouraged, at least I got the most "benefit", and there is no possibility of causing a bad impact. Their way of doing things will have to be adjusted, but that's for later. "That's right! In Tamba's defusing assassination, you also played a role, right? "I remembered those small throwing knives, and now I finally understood that they were shaped like a crane's feathers.

Crane didn't answer my question directly, but just touched the floor again with his forehead.

"Yes, Senior Sister He's secret weapon and stealth technique are the best in the same sect!" Adie in the center replied for her: "...... In particular, her exclusive stunt 'Flying Feather Thousand Wandering', which can fire up to 180 throwing knives at the same time, is something few people in the world can resist! ”

"So you're the leader of the Thousand Nights? What a surprise! I turned to her and asked with a smirk. According to the order in which they are arranged, it should be like this, but at the same time, it is not without doubt: they were only about 10 years old when they came to my house, but soon after the "Deer Valley Incident" occurred, and the act of coming from them to my house has basically determined the intention of taking refuge, so who made the decision for them at that time?

"Yes, my lord!" Adie also knelt on the ground to admit it. "There are three people in each generation of the Mirage Thousand Nights, and I am the leader of this generation!"

"So my full name should be Fluttershy Mirage?" I thought about the name of the little fox and extended it.

"Returning to the lord, no!" Unexpectedly, she actually shook her head. "Since the blessing of the lord a year ago, the Mirage Thousand Nights Clan has officially completed the generation! Our masters have all retired, and Senior Sister Fox is named Lei Fox; Senior Sister Crane attacked the name Snow Crane; I inherited the name of the previous generation of fog butterflies. ”

"You still have a master!" I was instinctively surprised, but there was nothing strange about it. According to legend, they naturally have a master, and they are not very old.

"Yes! However, according to the practice of the Mirage Thousand Nights clan passed down from generation to generation, as long as the replacement of the ancestors is completed, they must retire, and the members who have retired are renamed Hidden Fox, Hidden Crane and Hidden Butterfly! ”

"Why is that?" I can't help but wonder that this is a huge waste of "resources"!

"The lord doesn't know, our Mirage Thousand Nights Clan was originally born in the court!" Ah Die saw that I had questions, so he patiently explained: "...... At that time, we were not a school, but a department under the Department of Internal Prohibition and Suppression, which was under the control of the Lady-in-Waiting. Every year, members are selected from among the newly entered female officials and palace maids, and then a series of training is carried out by specialized personnel. At the time, the institution was quite large, and we Mirage were only a small part of it. Because our capabilities are quite special, we have always maintained a relatively independent status and have not been dismantled in several integrations. At that time, all the members of this organization were female officials or court maids, so it was often the case that they were favored by the emperor, and although the number of our group was very small, the proportion was quite high! ”

"And how did you leave the court?" I felt like I was listening to a fantasy story, everything was so unreal, but it was clear that the three of them were actually kneeling in front of me.

"All of this is thanks to the Hongqi clan!" Ah Die said in a hateful tone. "Although we were not affected, the Hongqi clan gradually took control of this institution under the continuous integration, and finally they took action and began to squeeze out us! After a large-scale rebellion was put down 500 years ago, His Majesty the Emperor rewarded meritorious soldiers, and under the conspiracy of the Hongqi clan, our three ancestors were rewarded to the Nitta clan! Since then, we have been a secret force of the Nitta clan, and our public identity is that of the lord's concubine until ...... Until the defeat of the righteous army......"

"Let the past pass! After all, it was hundreds of years ago...... "I made it very clear that I would not support them in seeking revenge, because it was really a very inexplicable thing.

"Yes, my subordinates understand! In fact, we have already seen it, otherwise they would have destroyed us with their current level. At that time, if you talk about it in detail, everyone still has a love for incense! "Ah Die is very generous.

"That's good!" I am very satisfied with her attitude, after all, infighting in any situation is not good. "The origin of your relationship with Nanmu Stream also originated at that time, right?"

"Yes! The Nitta clan and the Kusunoki clan were both the backbone of the Southern Dynasties, and we have never severed ties with Mrs. Ying's family. ”

"So you ......"

"Yes!" Die nodded. "Because each generation is the concubine of the lord, the previous generation will also go into hiding with the change of the lord's family. The purpose of this is that no matter which member of the member, there will only be one lord! From the beginning when we were only a few years old, we were trained for the future young master, and this is the only purpose of our existence! Although we have lost our lord for more than 200 years, this way of succession has not changed. ”

I feel a pity that there are only three people with such a "good" power! Not to mention whether their skills are high or low, first of all, once they master loyalty, there will be no problem! Is this still human? It's all about some tailor-made weapons! "What a pity!" With this thought in my head, I said it casually, and as for whether it was a ninja or a concubine, I didn't think too clearly about it for a while.

"The lord doesn't know something, and there is a special reason for this!" Ah Die turned to Xiaohe and Xiaohu and ordered: "You take off your clothes, please take a look!" ”

For this unbelievable order, Xiaohu and Xiaohe were a little hesitant at first, but they finally carried it out under Ah Die's forced gaze. In the stunned eyes of Xianzhi and me, two carcasses of a girl who deceived Frost and Victory Jade appeared in front of us.

"Lord and Madam, please look at ......" Under Ah Die's fingers, on the backs of the two snow-white scrolls, there was a large color tattoo on each of them.

On the back of the little fox was a cyan fox that jumped up in the air and turned its head to the sky, with fierce teeth and claws, eyes and fire, and all around it was splashed with electric light; On the back of the little crane is a red-crowned crane surrounded by snowflakes, circling and flying with an elegant expression, these tattoos use at least 10 colors, not only gorgeous but also a little weird! I know that Die has a similar tattoo on her back, which is a colorful butterfly that looms in the colorful petals. I had asked me about the meaning before, and when she fooled me into saying that her parents had stabbed her when she was a child to prevent her from getting lost in the war, and that she had come to Kyoto to come from an artistic family, so I didn't care at the time.

"The traditional skill of our Mirage Thousand Nights is not martial arts, but as a ninja, you must have a certain skill, and only in this way can you survive!" Ah Die's tone was a little bleak. “…… As a last resort, the ancestors adopted the method of pulling out the seedlings to help them grow, that is, using deep acupuncture and large doses of drugs in their practice, this method is not only very painful but also extremely dangerous, and must be supervised and assisted by the master! Take Senior Sister Fox as an example: the reason why she is amazingly powerful is that in addition to the factors that picked out her talent when selecting materials, she also used a lot of scorching yang drugs that stimulated blood and qi, and in the end, the people who led to this branch were all bloody, but it also created their night vision skills. Tattoos are used to disguise the long-term stitch marks......"

"Oh......" I nodded. No wonder they are scarce! In this way, it is very good for a master to be able to teach a disciple. "I see, it's no wonder you have superb skills......"

"There's one thing I want to report to the lord! In fact, our Mirage Clan has only inherited some ancient secret methods in illusion and medicine, and the real skills are far less magical than the legends......"

"How so?!" I was shocked, and the scene in Deer Valley still feels unbelievable to me.

"Actually, we just used some drugs in Lumi Valley...... "Listen to my doubts, Adiewaner." It's just that these drugs are different from ordinary drugs, they are only effective when they are in them, and they do not affect the thinking of people or animals, but only slow down their reactions, which is similar to some drunken situations, although they are unconscious, but their movements have been deformed! It's like those animals, which seem to behave as usual, but in fact wait for a long time before you react and should dodge. ”

"What about destroying the Koga forces?" I still can't fully believe it.

"That's just observing the pattern of these people's actions for a long time, and then using some secret ********! Although our martial arts have been strengthened somewhat, they are still far from the Koga Mochizuki family, which is outnumbered. However, our martial arts training methods are peculiar, as long as they are deliberately hidden, even fellow ninjas are not easy to discover. As if afraid that I wouldn't believe it, she took out from her bosom a handful of small wooden plaques painted with March patterns, each only half the size of a matchbox and extremely thin. It's even simpler, you don't need to get it back at all! As long as you rub wood powder on it, it will become powder after three days, and people who are not familiar with it will not be able to see it at all. Therefore, the Mirage Clan may be called a great ninja, but they can't do those gods and ghosts, and they only rely on some secret ancient medicines! ”

"This ...... This ...... "This is too far from my previous understanding, and I can't accept it for a while."

"In fact, we have always been afraid of the contempt of the lord, so we did so many things later! We've always wanted to wait until we've done a great job before we ......."

"I see! Ha, ha, ha......" I couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the three of them were overwhelmed by laughter.
