"Huh?" The young man's words outside made my heart startle slightly, how did he know I was here?

On the surface, I only brought a dozen people with me, but in fact, my spy network in this area of Kitakyushu has been running at high speed for a long time, and if there is any unusual behavior of the nearby forces, it will not take me two hours to know. Besides, there is a perimeter security network composed of no less than twenty ninjas in the secret, and if you find any suspicious people, it is impossible not to react. If a ninja of the level of Kato Danzo found out my true identity, it would be understandable, but how could it be him, a European who couldn't even speak Japanese?

"Why is His Highness the Stars here, get out of here!" Sakurai Sakichi stood there and held the young man by the shoulder, preventing him from going inside. "If you don't know what's going on, I'm going to be polite!"

"You're lying...... I'm sorry, I don't want to doubt anyone's character, but I really have something important to see His Highness the Stars! It's very important...... "The young man wasn't intimidated by Sakurai, at least I didn't see the slightest fear in his pure blue eyes. He just spoke in Japanese with his tongue taut like clockwork, emphasizing over and over again (though still not clearly) his reasons, and insisting on coming in to meet me.

There is no doubt about this man's European ancestry, and I think he must have been a Germanic from Central Europe. He was dressed in a very simple short-fitting travel suit, with a pair of half-worn moerskin boots on his feet, and a large backpack on his back.

"Do you know him?" I asked Gómez, who was standing behind me.

"I haven't seen it, it should be a person who just got off the boat!" He didn't offer anything constructive, just repeated my own judgment.

I looked into his face again, where I saw nothing but frankness and sincerity, and honestly he was an innocent middle school student, both by his age and by his expression. But don't get me wrong, there were no such people among my classmates in the past, that is, they can only be seen in some occasionally broadcast Taiwanese TV dramas.

"Bastard! Didn't you understand what I said? Sakurai Sakichi finally got angry and pushed the troublemaker out. In terms of appearance, although Sakurai Sakichi is also a delicate type, and he is shorter than the other party, he is a professional martial arts practitioner after all.

The young man's physical strength was as fragile as his appearance appeared, and Sakurai Sakichi didn't use much force to make him take four or five steps back, and then sat on the ground. He had a lot of dirt on his body, and his backpack was falling apart, and something fell out, mostly books.

He stood up and dusted off his body, picked up the scattered things, and then took his backpack and walked to Sakurai Sakichi again. "I have something very important to do, I must meet His Highness the Stars!" He still demanded in a calm and sincere tone.

"You bad guy!" Sakurai Sakichi was finally completely enraged, and reached out to pull the saber from his waist.

"Wait a minute!" A still somewhat immature voice stopped him, and Tora Chiyo stepped out of the back seat. "His Highness Zhuxing is a big man, how do you conclude that he is here?" He asked the young man.

"I naturally have a basis to say this!" The young man didn't feel anything wrong with Tora Chiyo's age, but said very seriously, pointing to the Hoseimaru emblems on the sides of the chests of the attendants' clothes. "I recognize this mark, it is a characteristic of His Highness the Stars, and only in the queue where His Highness the Stars is in will appear this sign, so he must be here!"

"I see!" I almost laughed out loud when I heard his explanation, it seems that he was confusing the Japanese family crest with the European knight's coat of arms. The Japanese family coat of arms is more similar in meaning to European national coats of arms, such as the golden lily in France and the double-headed eagle in Russia, but it is still difficult for the average European to think that the emblem of a local nobility will most of the time replace the emblem of the country as a whole.

"I think you may be mistaken!" Although most people understood the reason for the young man's recklessness, it was Tiger Chiyo who gave the explanation. "Although this is indeed the sign of the Zhuxing family, as a big family, even if there are not ten thousand, more than eight thousand people who are qualified to carry this mark are definitely not a problem. In addition, the army of the Zhuxing Family is fighting in this vicinity right now, if you see a large camp that stretches for more than ten miles, then the overwhelming flag with this mark will definitely scare you to death! ”

"So that's ......" The young man was stunned for a long time, and then he realized his mistake, and at the same time he couldn't help but show a slight disappointment. It seems that I misunderstood, and I apologize to you for my rudeness! He bowed slightly.

"Which Star Highness are you looking for?" Seeing that he looked a little depressed, Tora Chiyo suddenly asked again.

"Your Highness the Stars...... Are there several more? The young man looked at the men in front of him with a very confused look.

"Of course!" Toragiyo nodded solemnly but with great certainty. "Today's Zhuxing family is a big family that the imperial court relies on very much, and the people are also quite prosperous, so there are a few people who have been awarded official positions, and there is more than one person who can be called 'His Highness Zhuxing'. For example...... He! He suddenly grabbed Shinhachiro, who had been laughing and watching the excitement on the side. He is also surnamed Zhuxing, he is a famous military general in the world and has been accepted by the imperial court (not into the stream), there should be no problem to be called His Royal Highness Zhuxing, right? ”

"Oh?" Shinhachiro was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know why he was involved all of a sudden. Naturally, it was impossible to pull him with Tiger Chiyo's strength, but the few words just now immediately drew everyone's attention to him.

"Him?" The young man was surprised, but he looked him up and down carefully. Except for Shinhachiro, everyone thinks it's getting more and more interesting, and since Tora Chiyo has stepped in, Sakurai Sakichi and the others can't say anything more. "It's not him!" After looking at it for a moment, the young man shook his head.

"What! Am I not worthy of the words 'Your Highness the Stars'? Hearing him say this, Shinhachiro was a little unhappy.

"That's not the case, you misunderstood me!" For the first time, the young man had a nervous expression, but it was probably out of embarrassment rather than fear. "I don't mean to despise you in the slightest, I just say that you are not the 'Highness of the Stars' I am looking for. Although you are very close in age to him, there is a considerable gap between your appearance and temperament that I have heard of. I am not proficient in Japanese, and I can't fully express the true meaning of many times. I'm sorry for the hurt this has caused you, and I ask your forgiveness! ”

Many people laughed when they heard his words, and even Gomez, who was next to me, made a sneering sound. It is true that the young man has little study of grammar, and what he says about "harm" is a European concept, while in the East most cases it should be called "offense". For a person with a high status, and it is a military general like Shinhachiro, it sounds so weird to use the word "harm", but in the face of such a person, Shinhachiro can only be awkward, and he can't attack him.

"What is the full name of the Star Highness you are looking for?" Tora Chiyo continued to ask. In fact, at this time, everyone knew that this young man was looking for me, and Tora Chiyo wanted to test how much he knew about me.

"It's supposed to be called...... ......The young man frowned and laughed and muttered something about it, and it seemed that it was very difficult, and he did not know whether he had forgotten or did not know how to pronounce it. "By the way, it should be His Royal Highness the Chengqing Clan of the Zhuxing Military Department!" He finally remembered.

"The Stars Soldiers?" This is really a somewhat historical title, and even my eight attendants are not allowed to know all of them. When I was called this title, I could only be regarded as a regional military commander at best, how did this young man who could not even speak Japanese know my title back then?

"Maybe I can introduce you, but I have to tell me how you met him?" Tiger Chiyo also felt that this matter was a little unusual, and since he could call me by this name, he should have some origin.

"I don't know His Highness the Stars!" The young man replied very honestly. "Before I left for Japan, my father asked me to come to him and say that he could help me!"

"Who is your father?"

"Mayinhull!"

Tora Chiyo hadn't heard of the name, so he glanced back at the inner curtain. "That'...... Come with us to the inn first! It was still quiet in the curtain, and Tora Chiyo turned his head and said.

******************************************

After coming out of the Portuguese Trade House, we came to a very inconspicuous inn in the northeast corner of Hirado Town, which was large but not very classy, and a relatively large courtyard seemed more suitable for parking large carts. However, since it is not the peak season for sales, there are no other customers other than us.

Actually, this is a point of contact for my ninjas, and it stands to reason that we shouldn't be living here, but out of concern for my safety, Takenaka Hanbei and Kato Danzo insisted repeatedly, so I had to reluctantly agree.

We were warmly received by the owner, who was nothing special here compared to other places, and quietly handed me a cleverly folded letter as a hot meal was served. I glanced at it quietly, and it was the half-guard of Takenaka who had transferred it.

"You say you're the son of Mayinhull, do you have any proof?" I held the letter in my bosom and asked the young man.

"Yes, of course!" Young people may not have eaten a decent meal for a long time because they have been on the go, and when they see the food being served, they immediately reach out and prepare to start. Hearing me ask, he hurriedly put down a rice ball that he was already holding in his hand and pulled over the big travel bag.
