Beijing, Lok Shan Tang.

"The six people sent to Taohuayu, there is no news yet?" Kawakami looked at the calendar hanging on the wall and asked with some uneasiness.

"No news at all." Arao Sei replied, unlike Kawakami Cao Roku, Arao Sei at this time seemed very calm.

"Maybe you shouldn't have done it to that Shimazu woman at this time." At this moment, Kawakami Caoroku is quite remorseful for sending a killer to assassinate Yoko Shimazu.

"Actually, we should hire the Qianguo people to do this, and we shouldn't use the ronin samurai of the 'Genyo Society'." Arao Sei said, "Even if the operation fails and the Qianguo government is alarmed, it will not be easy to track us down. ”

"You're talking about, Arao-kun." Kawakami sighed.

"You don't have to worry too much, Kawasami-kun, I have already sent someone to inquire about the situation, the government of Qianguo, as long as you have money, you can inquire about any news, and you haven't received any news about them yet, it shouldn't matter." Arao Sei comforts Kawakami Rokudo, he knows what Kawakami Soroku is worried about.

"I'm worried that they met Lin Yiqing from that woman." Kawakami Caoliu expressed his concerns, "That woman must have wanted to make contact with Lin Yiqing when she came to Beijing, if they happened to run into those ninjas under Lin Yiqing......"

"That woman should have done this, but when she was in Fuzhou, she never had contact with Lin Yiqing, but with Lin Yiqing in Beijing, if you want to contact him in Beijing, I don't think she will succeed." Arao Sei said his judgment, "That woman should have tried to contact Lin Yiqing in Fuzhou, but she was of no use to Lin Yiqing. So Lin Yiqing didn't see her. And she didn't give up. I followed him to Beijing, but I don't think it would be any different. ”

"Let's hope so, maybe the six of them have already completed their mission and killed the woman, but they just can't show up for some reason." Kawakami Soroku comforted himself along with Arao Sei's train of thought.

"Actually, that woman is an inconsequential target for the Imperial Government, and as the only person in the Shimazu family who escaped, she probably wants to take revenge on the Imperial Government. But she has no way to threaten the imperial government, she is a useless person. Arao Sei said, "We should pay more attention to Lin Yiqing's activities and the collection of intelligence in all aspects of the Qianguo, so as to prepare for the future war between the empire and the Qianguo, instead of wasting precious manpower on an exiled woman." ”

"Yes! The direction of our work should be to focus on the collection of intelligence, and for activities such as assassination, it is better to do less unless necessary. Kawakami agrees with Arao's opinion. Nodding again and again, "That's right." What information did you get about the activities of Lin Yiqing and the Satsuma? ”

"There is nothing too new, in the two years since Lin Yiqing returned to Qianguo, he has never been to Ryukyu once, the government established by the Satsuma people in the Ryukyus, Kikujiro, the son of Saigo Yoshinosuke, is the nominal head, and the government affairs are all presided over by the former Kagoshima Prefecture Commander Oyama Tsunashi, and the military is mainly presided over by Murata Shinhachi," Arao Seiki simply told Kawakami Caoroku about the situation of the Satsuma government-in-exile, "Although Lin Yiqing did not return to Ryukyu, he should have maintained close contact with the Satsuma people, and the Satsuma army still obeyed his ordersJust last year, the Qianguo Navy held a naval exercise in Tianjin, and the Satsuma Navy sent warships to participate, and its naval commander Hikonojo Uemura first went to Fuzhou to meet Lin Yiqing. ”

"Although this person has not been reused in the Qianguo, he still maintains a huge influence on the Satsuma people, and is a huge threat to the empire, and if the empire wants to defeat the Qianguo, it should also find a way to solve the Satsuma in the Ryukyus." Kawakami sighed.

As a native of Satsuma, Kawakami always felt strange in his heart when he said such things.

Just then, a man came running to report to the two of them, and the person who inquired about the news returned.

"How? Did something happen to the six of them? Seeing the uneasy look on the face of the visitor, Kawakami Caoliu's heart couldn't help but sink.

"All six of them disappeared six days ago." The visitor hesitated for a moment and told the results of his inquiry.

"Missing?" Kawakami Soroku and Arao Seiki were both surprised.

"Yes." "They're all gone, and nowhere to be found. ”

"What happened to that woman in the Shimazu family that day?" Kawakami asked.

"She didn't die that day, as if nothing had happened, she met Lin Yiqing in the hot spring villa in Taohuayu, it is said that Lin Yiqing went to meet her alone, they talked in the hot spring for two hours, and then Lin Yiqing left and did not stay with her." The man replied, "No one has seen our people." ”

"How so? Where will they go? Kawakami Caoliu was shocked, "Is it ......?"

"I think it's possible that they're dead." Arao Seiki said in a deep voice, "They may have all been killed by the ninjas under Lin Yiqing, and Lin Yiqing didn't want to attract the attention of the Qianguo Mansion, so he didn't make a noise, but secretly disposed of their corpses. You must know that ninjas have many ways to secretly dispose of corpses. ”

Hearing Arao Sei's inference, Kawakami Soroku suddenly felt a cold swish in his neck.

"Maybe it's like you said, maybe they're really hiding somewhere, let's wait and see!" Kawakami said calmly.

"Besides, we'd better not touch that Shimazu woman anymore." Arao Seiki said to Kawakami Caoroku, "Now she is likely to have become Lin Yiqing's woman, and we can't start a war with Lin Yiqing at this time because of this woman." ”

"Hmm." Kawakami Caoliu nodded, in fact, Arao Sei didn't recommend it, he also wanted to do it.

"There is also news about Lin Yiqing." The person who came suddenly remembered something, "Today is the day when the Qianguo liberal arts exam list is released, and Lin Yiqing has entered the top three in the first class. ”

"What? Did he get a jinshi? Kawakami was shocked again.

"Yes, it is the third place in the first class, which is commonly known as Tanhua in Qianguo." The man replied.

"Are you sure he's not number one?" Arao asked.

"It can be determined that the champion of the first place is a Jinshi named Chen Mian. He is a native of Jinan, Shandong. The visitor replied affirmatively.

"It's not the champion though. But the third place in the first class. It also means that he has achieved his goal......" Kawakami Caoliu frowned, "This result is even better than Li Shaoquan's back then......"

"I don't know what he's going to do next." Arao said worriedly.

"Send someone to inform Yanagihara-kun of this news immediately!" Kawakami thought for a moment and ordered, "Remember, don't talk to Yanagihara-kun about us sending someone to assassinate that woman from the Shimazu family!" ”

"Yes!"
