Qu Caifeng nodded, didn't say much, his figure flashed in this alley, and soon, there was a figure as fast as lightning on the roof in the distance, and a few ups and downs disappeared, the wolf looked back at the direction where Qu Caifeng went, turned his head and continued to stare at Nalan Guifang.

After about half an hour, suddenly there was a person who looked like a guard, walking on Luo hoop legs, running all the way to the sky, the wolf's face changed slightly, this is obviously a widow dressed as a Han Chinese, I don't know what happened here.

Sure enough, after this widow entered the door, it only took a moment of effort, Xu Hai, Shangquan Xinzhi and Mao Haifeng came out, that Xu Hai's expression was a little reluctant, presumably he and that Wang Cuiqiao had not finished speaking, but there was something to do, and he had to be temporarily separated, only to see him come out, and after whispering a few words with Shangquan Xinzhi, the group of Japanese robbers all trotted all the way towards the south of the city.

The wolf secretly said badly, he knew that he wouldn't have called Qu Caifeng away, but now he had no other choice but to follow, he hurriedly wrote a line on the wall: Urgent, I followed Xu Hai and the others out of the north of the city. Then he took off the clothes he was wearing outside, threw them on the ground, took a spare human skin mask from his bosom and put it on, and covered his face with a black scarf.

It only took a few minutes for the Heavenly Wolf to finish this qiē, and the Japanese in the distance were still in sight, and he performed the light gong body method, following behind this group of Japanese Wolves, calculating the combat effectiveness of both sides as he walked. Today, he didn't bring a dragon slaying knife, only an ordinary long sword, if he really started to do it. There are three masters on the opposite side, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to take advantage.

While thinking and walking, it only took half an hour to get down from the south gate of the city, and the defense of Nanjing City was still as lax as a few years ago, and the guards guarding the city actually fell asleep. A section of the city wall more than 200 meters long was completely undefended, and it was like walking on the ground in front of these martial arts and strong Japanese robbers, and the wolf sighed at the lax guards of the Ming Dynasty. On the other hand, they can only follow these Japanese robbers all the way south.

This place is very familiar, and Sky Wolf even vaguely remembers the past when he went out of the city with Qian Guanglai and followed Shen Lian and Tan Lun to fight against the Japanese, but it was only a few years apart. Changed. Today's widows can swagger in Nanjing City, and they can come and go freely, which makes him half sad and half angry, but in his heart he is thinking about what kind of important thing it will be, so that Xu Hai can give up the woman he values very much.

And from the series of actions just now, it can be seen that Nobuyuki Kamiizumi, a real Oriental Japanese coward, seems to have a slightly lower status than Xu Hai. It may not even be as good as that brute Mao Haifeng, these two Heavenly Wolves have never heard of it before. From what they said, it can be heard that Xu Hai has some Hangzhou accent, and Mao Haifeng's words have a Huizhou accent, which should be authentic Chinese.

The wolf also asked Lu Bing about some information about the Japanese in Jinyiwei, and the answer obtained was the same as the result of the exchange with Liu Sheng Xiongba, Gongsun Hao and others, due to the sea ban implemented by Emperor Jiajing for personal face, the coastal fishermen were forced to move inward, leaving the land where they had lived for hundreds or even thousands of years, and they gave up the livelihood of their ancestors who had eaten by the sea for generations.

With the continuous development of this kind of Sino-Japanese pirates, the Japanese pirates who only knew how to fight and kill gradually became cannon fodder and thugs among the pirates, because these Oriental samurai were strong in martial arts and did not have much ambition, and all they wanted was to drink and eat meat, rape - prostitution and plunder, these basic needs were just that, so the more ambitious, more shrewd Chinese maritime thieves gradually controlled the right to speak.

Now in Zhejiang and Fujian provinces, the most powerful is the Huizhou merchant Wang Zhi led the pirate group, Wang Zhi is known as Mr. Wufeng, originally a shrewd businessman, the first to run the Luzon area of overseas trade, relying on his shrewd business acumen and ruthless means, Wang Zhi soon annexed several partners, became the owner of the ship.

In the nineteenth year of Jiajing, Wang Zhi had a relationship with the Japanese Japanese Koukou, and the Oriental underworld such as Nobuyuki Kamizumi probably established a cooperative relationship at that time, and began to build huge warships, the style and artillery were imitated in this era of the Franc machine man (Spanish and Portuguese colonizers in the Far East, at this time known for their giant ships and cannons), the warship could be built to six or seven stories high, accommodate 2,000 people, and even run horses on it.

Because Wang Zhi, the pirate leader, is also Chinese, so there is an endless stream of coastal fishermen who defect to him, and now Wang Zhi, with thousands of warships, smuggling ships is several times this, tens of thousands of pirates, are well-equipped, extremely vicious, such strength even the Japanese lords dare not provoke him, Japan's Satsuma Clan in Kyushu is known as one of the strongest clans in Kansai (Zhuhou), when encountering Wang Zhi, he can only obediently allow his huge fleet to pass in his own territorial waters, There was even a small island called Matsuuratsu specially set aside for Wang Zhi to use as a base.

So Wang Zhi set up bases in Shuangyu (now a large island in the Kuril Islands) off the coast of Ningbo and Matsuurajin in Satsuma, and carried out smuggling and trade on a large scale. Wang Zhi annexed almost all the coastal pirates and became a veritable One Piece.

It's just that Lu Bing also said that Wang Zhi's purpose was not to kill people and set fires, since he took over the Japanese Kou, he also began to restrain his subordinates, the kind of indiscriminate looting and slaughter of coastal villages and towns has been much less than before, which is also somewhat due to Wang Zhi's restraint, his goal is to hope that the sea ban policy can be opened, and he can legally do overseas trade with the Ming Dynasty, if Emperor Jiajing is in a hurry or sends troops to encircle and suppress, Wang Zhi will unceremoniously give a counterattack. And retaliated by robbing several coastal towns to show his strength, in essence, Wang Zhi can be said that Altan Khan is basically a kind of person. It's just a war to force business.

In addition to the tens of thousands of pirates equipped with muskets and cannons, Wang Zhi's guards with strong martial arts are also endless, fierce Oriental samurai, Franc machine swordsmen who are proficient in muskets and swordsmanship, and many Central Plains martial arts masters who are attracted by heavy money and join his pirate gang, the number is several thousand. The strength of the sect is enough to laugh at the Central Plains martial arts, and in the past, Jinyiwei had sent masters to assassinate Wang Zhi many times, all of which were like stones sinking into the sea. There was no news at all, and Wang Zhi found and executed him.

Therefore, in recent years, whether it is Lu Bing or Hu Zongxian, the attitude towards Wang Zhi's gang has also changed from the previous resolute extermination to the focus on fu, but Jiajing has always refused to order the opening of the sea and the ban on trade. The two sides are now maintaining a delicate balance along the southeastern coast.

The wolf's brain was spinning rapidly. This Xu Hai and Mao Haifeng seem to be at least top masters, especially Xu Hai, who inadvertently showed his hand, although it was a surprise attack, but he could restrain Kamizumi Nobuyuki, who was at least a super-first-class master in martial arts with one move, which showed his skill, and he was afraid that he would fight against him. You also have to do it with all your might, and you don't know who killed the deer. Such a master, now that there are many people, it must be extraordinary to throw down the task that Wang Cuiqiao came out to perform, and it is even very likely to be a private meeting with Yan Shifan.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, but it was a pity that there was no one around to help, with his own strength, even if he bumped into Yan Shifan's meeting with them, he couldn't destroy it at all, and he could only watch them carry out all kinds of dirty transactions, and he couldn't do anything, thinking of this, the sky wolf couldn't help but feel sad, and began to think about the contingency quickly.

After Xu Hai and the others walked more than ten miles out of the city, they entered a small forest, and the wolf vaguely remembered that this was the forest when he pursued Shangquan Xin last time, and he saw that the gang of would-be robbers in front of him stopped, and one of Shangquan Xin walked to the front, and made a whistle in a clearing in the forest, and soon, from the surrounding trees and grass, more than 20 masked people who were all in darkness and left only a pair of eyes outside came out and nodded to Xu Hai and others.

Sky Wolf saw these masked people, all of them were in good shape, but their movements were unusually light, and the weapons in their hands were also very strange light swords or hooks with iron chains, and he remembered that when he and Yanagi Xiongba discussed the Oriental martial arts sect in that nameless valley, Yanagi Xiongba once mentioned that in the Oriental martial arts, in addition to regular swordsmen like him, there are also some martial artists who are good at assassination, lurking, and spying, called ninjas.

The origin of this ninja can be traced back to the Warring States period that began more than 100 years ago in Japan, in the East, the emperor and the Gongqing family since the rise of the samurai, it has become an ornament, and has been the Han Xian Emperor for almost a thousand years, although there have been several emperors who are unwilling to be left behind, and have used the contradictions between the samurai lords to try to grasp the monarchy, but these attempts finally failed, and the emperor continues to exist in Japan as a mascot and spiritual leader, and the power of the country is in the hands of the samurai leader known as the shogunate, the general.

The general controls the power of Japan, and divides the generals when he fights the world as the lords of various places, and there are 66 countries in Japan, each of which is equivalent to a state and county in the Central Plains, and the official position of the lord of the country is called guardian, also known as the daimyo, in charge of the military, political and financial power of a country, and even the officials under his command are hereditary samurai, similar to the middle and late Tang Dynasty in China, the feudal towns were divided, but nominally they gave allegiance to the generals who were the leaders of the samurai, and even taxes were not paid.

The authority of the shogun was gradually weakened by the growing power of the daimyo in this feudal region, and the emperor was overthrown every time the dynasty of the Central Plains changed dynasties, while in the East, the emperor and those noble-blooded nobles were eternal mascots, and it was only the shogun who was overthrown, and each time a new challenger overthrew the shogun, in order to reward the daimyo who followed his own army, he had to give the territories of each country to these meritorious ministers, and continued to give them tax-free and semi-independent status, As a result, the Oriental landscape is characterized by a forest of people and a weak center.

About more than 100 years ago, when the Ming Dynasty was just established, the Ashikaga shogun in the East broke out a civil war between his two sons because of the issue of inheritance, and they attracted each other to support themselves with powerful daimyo from all over the world, and there were many contradictions in peacetime, but the local daimyo who were reluctant to maintain peace due to the general's ban on war and mediation suddenly had a legitimate reason to fight, so they supported a certain shogun and fought against the enemies who supported another shogun, which created the Warring States period in Japan. This battle has been fought for more than 100 years, and it has not ended until now, and the general has completely become a puppet. Without soldiers and power, they can only watch the daimyo everywhere fight endlessly.

The Japanese were also born because of Japan's Warring States, and the Kyushu Island in the west of Japan was also in full swing, because it was also a remote area in Japan, and the people were strong, and as the highest ruling body of the official stationed on Kyushu Island in peacetime, the Kyushu Exploration Project had been abandoned for many years. After more than 100 years of conquest, a large number of middle- and lower-class samurai lost their land and became ronins because of their defeat. had to go to sea as a pirate to make a living.

Since Japan was far poorer than the Central Plains, these people set their sights on the rich towns on the southeast coast of China, and because of the Ming Dynasty's ban on the sea, a large number of coastal fishermen and merchants took risks, and the two hit it off. The Oriental samurai fought fiercely. The thieves in the Central Plains were familiar with the terrain, which formed a southeast plague that lasted for many years.

As for these ninjas, they appeared during the Warring States period in Japan, and due to the endless conquest of the daimyo in various places, many villages formed villages to protect themselves, and hung a wooden sign at the entrance of the village that "guarded do not enter" to resist the daimyo troops who came to levy taxes.

Warring States period of Japan. A country is the size of a state or county in China, and there are almost two or more forces fighting in each country. Therefore, each guardian has a few hundred troops, and a maximum of several thousand people, to storm such a large village of hundreds of households, often the gains outweigh the losses, and over time, these villages have also become semi-independent, they are self-sufficient in peacetime, and in wartime they will join the side they support in the form of cooperation, and fight with others, which is the origin of the village with oriental characteristics.

Ninja is on the basis of this kind of Mao village, when a powerful daimyo named Hosokawa, once once controlled the central general's palace in Japan, equivalent to the Japanese version of Cao Cao, when he was complacent, he wanted to clean up these Mao villages in the Yamato and Kii countries near Kyoto, so he led more than 20,000 troops to sweep these villages that did not obey the king, and as a result, the mountain people in these villages took advantage of the terrain, fled into the mountains, and used guerrilla tactics to attack the huge but bulky Hosokawa army, In the end, he miraculously repelled the Hosokawa army, and since then he has become famous.

These elusive mountain people who act in the dark are also known as ninjas, and their leaders have also established several ninjas, which are equivalent to China's martial arts sects, to recruit and train swordsmen from all over the country on a large scale, which is the origin of ninjas.

The Oriental bushido has a long history, focusing on face-to-face fighting, and disdain for ninjas, who are elusive and secretly hurtful tactics, and the traditional lords who are used to employing samurai ronin as swordsmanship instructors do not like these ninjas who rely on assassination for a meal at first.

But with the endless war, the early aristocratic tactics were gradually abandoned, in order to win unscrupulous tactics were used, ninjas can assassinate enemy generals, inquire about the military situation, and also become an indispensable means for the lords, so as to be used as a means of darkness, some of the most powerful lords in the East now, have hundreds of ninjas under their hands, and even have a special ninja army formation, on the battlefield to take advantage of the chaos to surprise the enemy general, or set fire to the camp, often can achieve miraculous results.

When the wolf mentioned this ninja to Yanagi Yuba last time, he remembered that Yanagi Yuba, as a traditional swordsman samurai, hated and obeyed this ninja, although he couldn't accept these ninjas who stole chickens and dogs, but also admitted that in the chaotic environment of the Oriental war, there was a reasonable space for its existence, and Yanagi Yuba also fought with ninjas many times when he was in the East, and their martial arts and tactics completely took the path of evil assassination, the movements were clean and concise, without any fancy shelves, and weapons such as hidden weapons and chain hooks were mostly used, and light skills were especially good, He is very good at the art of terrain stealth, and he uses a lot of poison, so when he fights with him, he must not be careless.

But the wolf has also heard that the ninja and the samurai, in the East is a bit like the Central Plains martial arts demon sect, the White Lotus Sect and the Demon League, the difference between these famous and decent families, a bit of good and evil, the general swordsman samurai, is categorically will not have dealings with ninjas, although Kamizumi Nobuyuki is insidious and evil, but after all, it is also a famous samurai, I didn't expect to have dealings with ninjas, but this is also a surprise to the wolf.

A guy dressed in purple and obviously different from the black-clothed ninjas around him stood up and said to Nobuyuki Kamiizumi in Oriental dialect, "Kamiizumi-kun, that woman is almost here, is she still acting according to the plan?" ”

Nobuyuki Kamiizumi nodded loudly: "What, didn't the man come?" ”

The purple-clothed ninja shook his head: "No, only the woman came alone, my subordinates pretended to be people from the Sun and Moon Sect, and they have already led her on the road, and in a few moments, she will enter this forest, with the three of you here, it is enough to capture her." ”

A look of disappointment flashed on Nobuyuki Kamiizumi's face: "It's a pity, I originally wanted to take that person down together, but Elder Xiaoge ordered that as long as the man and woman were captured together, they would cooperate with us." But it's okay, that woman is also the person that the elder of the small pavilion needs, and after taking it, you can still talk about cooperation, Iga-kun, don't worry, you have a lot of credit this time, and the reward is indispensable.
