Chapter 622: The True Face of Iga Tencho

Tianluo said to Xu Wenchang quietly: "Brother Xu, I have actually been thinking about what you said, but at that time, I had no one to rely on except for this Iga Tianchang, I was seriously injured at the time, I was unable to move, and I was under house arrest by Wang Zhi and others, unable to leave the island, plus the peace agreement was not completed, so I could only stay, and I just asked Iga Tianchang to find Qu Caifeng to deliver a letter, and did not let her do anything else, so I don't think it will be a bad thing, and he has no motive to harm Qu Caifeng and the Wushan faction." ”

Xu Wenchang smiled bitterly and said: "Heavenly wolf, you must know that you are Jinyiwei, your official identity, but you have always befriended thieves like Qu Caifeng, Wang Zhi, and Xu Hai, one day, the imperial court will attack them, you have feelings for them, how will you deal with yourself then?" ”

The wolf said categorically: "Qu Caifeng is different from Wang Zhi and Xu Hai, she did not suffer for the common people, on the contrary, she also took in many homeless orphans and widows, if I am still a little hesitant when I intercede for Xu Hai and Wang Zhi, then Qu Caifeng and the Wushan faction I will try my best to protect it to the end, even if I take off this official uniform, I will not hesitate to do it." ”

Xu Wenchang was slightly stunned, and then frowned: "Heavenly wolf, think twice before doing things, Qu Caifeng may have taken in a lot of orphans and widows, but the cottages in the green forests of the seven southern provinces are all like this, do they only do good deeds?" They robbed houses and ransacked merchants, these are always facts, even when I traveled the world before, I also robbed the robbers of the Cutting Path, and almost lost my life, did I also offend them as a scholar? ”

The wolf was speechless for a moment, and after a while. Only then did he speak: "After all, these people are not engaged in production and have no source of livelihood, except for robbery. There is no way to make a living, but I have been to see Qu Caifeng's main village, she also let many orphans and widows start farming and spinning, self-sufficient, if this way of survival can be extended to all branches, I don't think there is no need to rely on robbery to survive. ”

Xu Wenchang suddenly laughed: "Heavenly wolf, I think you are really naΓ―ve sometimes. The wolf is used to eating meat, is it possible for you to let him eat grass? People who are accustomed to robbing houses and houses, and can easily obtain gold and silver treasures. How can it be so easy for them to throw away their swords and become good citizens at once? There may be many orphans and widows in Qu Caifeng's main village, and they were not born as robbers. And still do that. But if other sub-villages do the same, then it will not be called a green forest. If Qu Caifeng wants each family to learn from herself, she will only let these cottages get out of the control of her Wushan faction. ”

"Besides, the imperial court will never allow the people to occupy so much land without paying taxes, I will be the king's land, how can there be a paradise that can be separated from the king? Sky Wolf, you and I are both court officials. All of them need to be maintained by the taxes paid by the people. You can say that you are alone, you can go alone, but there are thousands of court officials, and millions of officials, they are all dragging their families, how can they make the people not pay taxes? If you really realize the paradise like you and Qu Caifeng, you will have to starve to death of these millions of officials, do you think this is the way of benevolence and righteousness? ”

Sky Wolf had never considered such a question before, and was speechless by Xu Wenchang.

Xu Wenchang sighed: "Heavenly wolf, I know that there are too many injustices in the world, so that many people are displaced, selling wives and children, and being cornered, can only go up the mountains and down to the sea, and fall into the grass, but you can't think that the world doesn't need an emperor because of such a thing, and no matter how bad the rule is, it is stronger than the best troubled times, I have read too many history books, and I am used to seeing the rise and fall of all dynasties. ”

"The current Ming Dynasty, there are tens of millions of people, the country is quite stable, although the officialdom is corrupt and dark, but it has not yet reached the end of the world, we serve the imperial court, more benefit the people, there is still the possibility of turning things around, if there are too many people to Qu Caifeng, Wang Zhi and others as an example, if they are not fair, they will go to the grass for the sake of the coward, then these people will eventually be used by careerists with ulterior motives to realize their rebellious intentions, once the troubled times are apocalyptic, it is definitely not the blessing of all the people!"

The wolf waved his hand and said: "Brother Xu, if you want to earn your fame and fame in the officialdom, I have no objection, and I also admit that good officials like you, like Governor Hu, will bring benevolent government to the people, but it is a pity that there are more corrupt officials and corrupt officials like Yan Shifan in this world, if the people are not to the point of desperation, how can they go up the mountain and fall into the grass?" Miss Qu is just doing her part and trying to help as many people as possible, if you can consider the problem from the standpoint of the people, not the government, you will not stick to your own ideas. ”

"It's useless to say more, as for the main village of the Wushan faction, I must protect it, if the imperial court really wants to send troops to encircle and suppress, then I will definitely stand on Miss Qu's side, Brother Xu, I ask you seriously, does Governor Hu really not receive the information that the troops and horses from all over the country are ready to exterminate the Wushan faction?"

Xu Wenchang sighed and shook his head: "Okay, then you and I reserve our respective positions, Governor Hu didn't lie to you, and he doesn't need to lie to you in this matter, in case you find out that something is wrong afterwards, even Governor Hu hates it, it's not worth it." Don't say that the helm of the attack on the Wushan faction is the rudder of the Wushan faction in Zhejiang and Nanzhili provinces, and the imperial court does not have any will for us to send troops to exterminate it, so I think you may be overthinking, Lu Bing should not be able to curry favor with Yan Shifan, and really risk losing your powerful assistant to deal with Qu Caifeng. ”

Tian Wolf's heart breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "That's good, Brother Xu, it's not too early, I still want to be alone, you and I will say goodbye, I will go to arrange the meeting in Ningbo early tomorrow morning." ”

Xu Wenchang smiled slightly, arched his hand to the Heavenly Wolf, and turned to leave.

The Sky Wolf waited for Xu Wenchang's figure to disappear into the night before raising his head, facing the roof on the upper right, and said in Oriental dialect, "You can come out." ”

Iga's shadow slowly flickered from the dark alley, her whole body shrouded in pitch black, and it was completely integrated in the night, only a pair of eyes as bright as stars still sparkled.

Iga Tianchang smiled slightly, and replied in Oriental words: "This is the territory of the Ming Dynasty. You say this in Oriental words, aren't you afraid to hear it from the soldiers patrolling the streets? Even though she was only facing the wolf now, she still spoke in the voice of an old man. It's not as magnetic as a silver bell.

The Celestial Wolf said coldly, "With your ears and eyes, if a night patrol soldier is within a hundred paces, will you not be able to hear it?" I'm just guarding against the brocade guards from stalking and eavesdropping on us. ”

Iga nodded, "Aren't you curious why I showed up so soon?" ”

Sky Wolf's eyebrows raised: "You and I parted from Shuangyu Island last time, but it took twenty days, and you said that you are not familiar with the Central Plains, and you don't even know how to go to Yuzhou City, where the Wushan faction is located, why did you appear in Hangzhou so soon?" Didn't you go to the Wushan faction? ”

Iga nodded: "Not bad." I didn't go to the Wushan faction. ”

The wolf said angrily: "In vain, I trust you so much, but you take the things I entrust you as a child's play, hum." The Oriental people really can't be trusted, and the ninja can't be trusted, Iga girl, please give me back a few things I gave you. I went to report to Miss Qu myself. ”

Iga Tencho suddenly smiled. The female voice was restored, like a milk warbler crying at night, and it couldn't be said to be good: "Sky wolf, looking at your excited appearance, I really can't figure out which is your fiancΓ©e Qu Caifeng or that Feng Wu, and you are such a smart person who doesn't want to think about it, if I don't complete your task, how can I be embarrassed to show up and meet you?" ”

Heavenly Wolf's heart moved: "Could it be that you met Miss Qu halfway?" ”

Iga Tencho put away his smile. Zhengse said: "Yes, that Qu Caifeng has been in Nanjing City." She seems to be waiting for you. ”

Sky Wolf instinctively asked, "What is she waiting for me to do!" But as soon as the words came out, I suddenly felt that something was wrong, last time I broke up with her temporarily because I met Lu Bing, and in Qu Caifeng's opinion, there were widows in Nanjing City, which is naturally worth exploring in many ways, and as the master of the Wushan faction, it is rare to come to the southeastern provinces, presumably it is reasonable to find out what her various villages are doing in this area, and it is reasonable to leave her alone, but she has to wonder why she didn't go back to the Wushan faction, which is indeed a little unreasonable.

Iga Tianchang's eyes narrowed into a crescent moon with a smile: "In my opinion, it seems that she wants to find out Xu Hai's whereabouts from the body of that famous prostitute Wang Cuiqiao in Qinhuai, and then follow the vine to find out all these strongholds in the mainland." ”

The wolf laughed dumbly, and secretly said that this Qu Caifeng is really indomitable, jealous and hateful, since he saw the widow, he felt that he had to do something, and the only way for her to find Xu Hai was probably only Wang Cuiqiao, and it was difficult for her to be able to guard that Lan Guifang for several months.

But the Heavenly Wolf suddenly felt that something was wrong, and said in a deep voice: "Miss Iga, may I ask how did that Qu Caifeng let you meet?" Has she been spying on a brothel called Lan Guifang? ”

Iga Tianchang smiled: "Yes, she has been staring at that place, I heard that it is where Xu Hai's wife used to stay, she wants to find Xu Hai in this way, just let me run into it." ”

Heavenly Wolf said in a deep voice: "Then how did you find this Lan Guifang?" Could it be that you still have to visit the cellar when you arrive in Nanjing? ”

Iga Tianchang shook his head: "Heavenly wolf, don't guess so much, you are not the only one who asked me to go to the Central Plains to do something, last time I saved that Wang Cuiqiao, she also asked me to go back to that Lan Guifang and bring some private money to the former sisters, so that they can redeem themselves from the sea of suffering as soon as possible." ”

Sky Wolf was slightly stunned: "You still have contact with Wang Cuiqiao?" ”

Iga Tencho smiled, "Isn't that weird?" The last time Feng Wu was scouting on Shuangyu Island, but first clicked on Wang Cuiqiao's acupoint, I restrained Feng Wu in front of Wang Cuiqiao's eyes, of course, in order to make her feel at ease, I also had to show her identity, lest she shout in a hurry and ruin my big thing. ”

Sky Wolf asked rhetorically: "Even so, you and her are only one-sided friends, why did she ask you to go to the Central Plains to do errands?" You're an Oriental, not a native of the Central Plains, so it's not your turn to do this kind of thing. ”

Iga Tianchang laughed: "Heavenly wolf, I told you that sooner or later I will move to the Central Plains with my subordinates, so I also asked Wang Cuiqiao about the situation in the Central Plains at that time, and I told her some thoughts about going to the Central Plains, probably because Xu Hai saw her very tightly and didn't let her have any contact with the outside world, and no one helped her pass on the news on the island, so she found me to help in a hurry." ”

The wolf always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell. He didn't want to continue to entangle with Iga Tianchang on this issue, so he asked, "Then you are Qu Caifeng who found out when you sent money to Wang Cuiqiao's sisters?" ”

Iga Tianchang's eyes flashed: "Yes, that Qu Caifeng bought Lan Guifang's mother Sang." Oh, it's the old bustard in your Han mouth, pretending to be a handyman in the workshop, just waiting for Wang Cuiqiao to come to the door every day, and as soon as I appeared, she attacked me, hehe. If you hadn't explained her appearance to me in advance, I would have really been surprised that Nakahara is such a female master. ”

Heavenly Wolf's heart sank, he knew that Iga Tianchang's martial arts were extremely high. is not far behind himself, he is a little taller than Qu Caifeng, and hurriedly said: "You won't hurt Miss Qu." ”

Iga Tianchang shook his head: "Why don't you ask if she hurt me, you must know that she made a sneak attack." And it's ruthless. No mercy, the shot is full of killer moves. ”

Sky Wolf waved his hand: "Your martial arts are above her, she can't hurt you." ”

Iga Tianchang smiled slightly: "You said it easily, that day she was dressed as a handyman, hiding her aura, and without saying a word, she made a heavy sneak attack, if it wasn't for my ninja instinct to work, I would really hurt her." Look at the wound. As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves. Revealing half of the jade arm like spring onions, I saw that on the forearm of the right hand, a sword mark half an inch deep and three inches long was shocking, and the wolf knew that it must be a wound caused by Qu Caifeng's snowflake iron double knife.

Tenromo said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Iga girl, I really didn't want to hurt you, what happened later?" ”

Iga Tianchang put down his sleeves again, and said: "I don't want to make too much noise in the city, so I pretended to be injured and escaped from Lan Guifang, Qu Caifeng chased after her, I chased her in the city for a long time, and finally led her out of the city, and a fierce battle was held to restrain her." This woman is really fierce and spicy, and if you don't knock her down, you can't speak well at all. ”

The wolf knows that Qu Caifeng's character is like this, Iga Tianchang's martial arts are the number of Oriental roads, which is very different from the martial arts of the Central Plains, so she also regards Iga Tianchang as a master of the Japanese Kou, and the shot must be full force, and although Iga Tianchang's martial arts are high, but the wolf sword technique is fierce and fierce, and she is also a little difficult to resist head-on, presumably using various ninjutsu to swim around to consume Qu Caifeng's internal force, until nearly a thousand moves later, she found a chance to strike a blow.

Thinking of this, Sky Wolf nodded: "After you restrain her, show the few tokens I gave you, she will definitely clear up the misunderstanding with you after seeing the token." ”

Iga Tianchang smiled and said: "That's natural, her sword tricks are fatal, and she doesn't give me a chance to get a token at all, I shouted several times to tell her to stop, but she didn't want to, I had to use martial arts to restrain her, Sky Wolf, this is also to see your face, if it was according to my previous temper, I would have taken her life a long time ago." ”

Sky Wolf's brows soothed: "But now that she is in Nanjing, how can she know the safety of the chief rudder?" Iga-girl, what happened? ”

Iga Tianchang said: "Qu Caifeng is smarter than you think, she has her own way to grasp the movement of the chief rudder every day, I don't know if it is a flying pigeon or something else, in short, she is very sure that the chief rudder is still very safe at least until that day, but just in case, she still went back to the Wushan faction." ”

A stone fell to the ground in the wolf's heart, and when she came out with Qu Caifeng all the way, she would leave herself for a short period of time every day, never saying that she understood, she originally thought it was some relief from her daughter's family, but now that she thinks about it, she is afraid that she is using her own way to contact her companions in the helm, no wonder she didn't worry about accidents at home for half a year after she came out with herself, and she still underestimated this heroine.

The Heavenly Wolf said, "Isn't she spying on Lan Guifang either?" ”

Iga Tianchang shook his head: "I made it clear to her, it is impossible for Wang Cuiqiao to come back, Xu Hai has also returned to Shuangyu Island, unless he returns to his hometown after Zhao'an, it is unlikely that he will step into the Central Plains again, and now that you and Xu Hai have become friends, she doesn't need to hate these widows so much." ”

Heavenly Wolf knew that Qu Caifeng hated the Japanese Kou very much, and he didn't have so much contact with Xu Hai like himself, so he could slowly change his opinion of him, and said with a smile: "She actually believes your words?" ”

Iga Tian sighed: "I am also an Oriental ninja, she naturally doesn't believe it, it's not your tokens and tokens, especially the token she gave has worked, I told her some things you have done in the southeast recently, in Shuangyu Island, and after learning that you are well, she left with peace of mind." Oh, by the way, I also told her that I might bring my clansmen to join her in the future, and she said that she was very welcome, Sky Wolf, is this what you Central Plains people say that you don't fight and don't know each other? ”

Sky Wolf didn't expect that Iga Tianchang and Qu Caifeng would get along well this time, but after thinking about it, both of them are heroic women with bold personalities, plus they have their own relationship, it is not too strange to come to this point, so he smiled: "Then congratulations to Miss Iga." ”

Iga Tianchang said "um", and frowned: "Sky wolf, the things you want to ask are finished, now it's my turn, to be honest, today I also saw you on the road temporarily, so I will temporarily follow up, otherwise I will go directly through the city to Ningbo, why did you leave Shuangyu Island?" ”

Heavenly Wolf was slightly stunned: "You didn't see the battle of Shuangyu Island that day?" (To be continued......)
