"Who are you?" Hojo Sakumo also seemed to understand his current situation, and did not shout like ordinary women when they saw a strange man inexplicably appear in their bedroom, but fully showed the calmness and courage of a leader who led the Hojo clan from a small town to a wealthy clan in a region, looking at Qin Heqing and Ayukawa beside him and asked in a deep voice.

"My surname is Qin, my name is Heqing, and this is my companion, Ayukawa." Qin He sat on the tatami mat and looked at Hojo Sakumodo who quietly walked back to the side, ready to defend himself with a knife.

"Qin? Are you a member of the Qin clan, the lord of Tosa? Hojo Sakumo frowned when he heard this, and asked with some confusion.

The Qin clan she knew that it was the great political family that assisted the previous and previous emperors, but unfortunately it failed in the end, and the whole clan survived by exile in the Tosa region, and the clansmen who are now circulating outside are not only active in Osaka and Kyoto, but the Nagamune Ibe clan and the Shimazu clan still have a little power, but they are all with her well water does not interfere with the river water, and there is no serious conflict between them, I really don't understand why I was approached by their people.

Or in this way that is almost ninja infiltration.

"Tosaqin? Sort of. Qin Heqing, who had a good understanding of the circulation of his own bloodline during the Warring States Period, was noncommittal.

"Then I wonder why Your Excellency sneaked into my mansion in this way?" Hojo Sakumo didn't dwell too much on Qin and Kiyo's identity, and sent out an inquiry about his purpose.

"I'd like to ask the Hojo government to do me a favor." Qin Heqing said frankly.

"Help?"

"Yes."

"Your Excellency's behavior now doesn't look like you're begging for help." Hojo Sakumo scoffed.

"I'm also using this as a last resort to keep our conversation from being interrupted."

"Your Excellency's methods are really dangerous." Hojo said softly. After a pause, he returned to the topic and said, "I don't know what Your Excellency wants me to help you with?" ”

"It's very simple, I want you to mobilize your men to go to all the towns and villages in Izu Province and ask the people in the towns and villages to find out where there are cherry blossom trees in Izu Province, preferably the kind of cherry blossom trees that have existed for a long time, and in return, I can be responsible for protecting the safety of the Gongfang while you are helping to find out the news, and even help the Gongfang solve some troubles if the Gongfang needs it." Qin Heqing said patiently.

"For example?" Hojo Sakumo asked rhetorically.

"Yokai, Onmyoji, Ninja and the like." Qin Heqing smiled.

"Oh?" Hojo Zaoyun's eyes flashed slightly, and he looked at Qin Heqing seriously again, "I have long heard that there are many people in the Qin clan, who are good at spells, can pass ghosts and gods, and have miraculous abilities. I wonder if Qin Jun can show me something here, so that I can also open my eyes? ”

"You can't do it." Qin He smiled lightly, and then didn't need Hojo Zayunmo to say much, he stretched out his hand and patted on the tatami mat in front of him, and a small bulge appeared on the surface of the tatami mat as if there were snake creatures moving below, and it surged straight to the front of Hojo Zayun, whose body suddenly collapsed, and his expression was guarded, and then broke the tatami mat and turned into a twisted and stretched branch that jumped out, until finally a beautiful lotus bloomed at the top of the branch, and then stopped all the changes.

"Since ancient times, there has been a saying that swords are matched with heroes, and flowers are matched with beauties. How can Hojo not have a unique flower to match such a beauty? And the lotus flower on the other side of the sea in the Ming Kingdom has a holy meaning since ancient times, is sacred, pure, rich and noble, is the most worthy of the Hojo Gongfang flowers, so I borrow flowers here to offer Buddha, but also hope that the Hojo Gongfang can like. Qin Heqing will give full play to the speaking skills he learned from the outstanding practitioners of a club in later generations, and flattering without losing the rules in compliments.

"Qin Jun has a heart." Hojo Zakumo looked at Qin Heqing, smiled, and picked off the strange lotus flower in front of him, and said slowly.

"I agreed to what you said."

"Then please leave it to the Hojo Princess." Qin Heqing said with a smile.

Then, with a wave of his hand, Ayukawa lifted the confinement of the entire room.

Hojo Sakumo didn't speak, just turned his head and shouted at the door, "Someone!" ”

"Whoa."

The door opened, and a maid walked in with small steps.

"Your Excellency." The maid knelt down and said.

"You take the two of them down to rest, remember not to slack off, this is my distinguished guest of the Hojo clan." Hojo Sakumo ordered the maid who was kneeling on the ground.

"Yes."

"You follow her to rest first, and as for what you said, I'll arrange it later."

"Okay."

Then Qin Heqing and Ayukawa got up and left the castle tower with the maid.

"Ten Guards." And after Qin Heqing left for a while, Hojo Sakumo shouted at the door again.

"Your Excellency." A man flashed out of the corridor on one side and half-knelt in front of Hojo Sakumo.

"Go and call Kotaro."

"Yes."

The next moment, I saw that the figure of this man named Shibei flashed, and he suddenly disappeared from the front of Hojo Sakumo, but Hojo Sakumo was not surprised by this at all, obviously, he was accustomed to the other party's behavior.

Then, after a short time, with another faint sound of breaking the air, a thin man with strange makeup on his face suddenly appeared in front of Hojo Sakumo.

"Your Excellency."

"Kotaro, I have something that you need to do personally." Hojo Sakumo looked at the man with makeup in front of him and said in a deep voice.

"Your Excellency, please."

"I need you to personally go to the Tosa region to investigate if there is a clansman named Qin Heqing in the Qin clan there, I need to know all the information about him, and the sooner the better."

"Yes, I'll do it."

"In addition, I will ask your men to go to all the towns and villages in the country, and ask the people there about the rumors of the cherry blossom trees that have existed for a long time, and if you hear about them, they will send them to me immediately, and I will be useful."

"Yes."

"Go down."

"Yes."

Then a man in makeup named Kotaro saluted Hojo Sakumo, and then activated his ninjutsu and disappeared into the air again.

"Qin, cherry blossom tree, what is the purpose?" Hojo Sakumo mused darkly.

……

"By the way, do you have anything to eat?" Qin Heqing looked at the maid who showed them the way and asked.

You know, they haven't eaten for nearly half a day, so why don't you make up for it? He's not a ghost and an elf, he can survive with aura.

"Yes, I'll have someone bring it to you." The maid replied.

"Well, let's go get ready."

"Yes."

Then it didn't take long for several maids to bring over the breakfast that Qin Heqing was looking forward to, accompanied by the familiar sound of footsteps......
