Who would have thought that in order to take Himeji Castle and take down Kuroda Kanbei, the people of the Uki family would even use intrigues and tricks?

It's really not a loss, it's one of the three villains of the legendary Warring States, and his methods are decisive and insidious.

"How long has it been since the guard was arrested?" Qin Heqing sighed, looked at the criminal department Ji in the mirror and asked.

"It's almost a day." Punishment Department Ji replied.

"It's been almost a day since you contacted me? What did you do before? Qin Heqing said in amazement.

Shouldn't this kind of thing be reported as soon as it is discovered? How little care you have about the safety of the guard, and how little care you have about his orders, have you dragged things out until now.

Qin Heqing felt more and more that it seemed to be a wrong choice for Ji of the Contract Punishment Department to be his own style god.

"Didn't I just notice." Ji muttered in a weak tone.

"What's going on with Himeji Castle right now?" Qin Heqing was speechless for a moment, and didn't bother to say anything more, and directly asked about the situation in Himeji Castle.

"It's already controlled by the people of the Uki family. Although martial law has not yet been imposed on the whole city, the control of the castle has not been relaxed at all, and the situation is a little tense as if they are guarding against the resistance of the people of Himeji Castle. After closing his eyes and feeling the specific situation of Himeji Castle, he replied.

"Then you pay more attention, and remember to notify me in time when there is any trouble. I don't want to wait for Kannei to get out of Kanbei and there will be any more problems at Himeji Castle. Qin He said lightly.

"Leave it to me, I promise to keep an eye on the people of the Uki family." The criminal department Ji patted his plump chest and reassured.

"I hope so." Qin Heqing pursed his lips, and then stopped talking nonsense, directly cut off the contact, and put away the bronze mirror.

"Hey, it's rare that you have time, I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen in the end, it's really ......" Qin Heqing turned his head to look at Shibata Katsuie, who had nothing to do for the time being because of the transfer of soldiers, so he was resting at home and sighed.

"Don't worry about me, it's important to get down to business. And with your ability, you can't think you can solve the matter over there in Himeji Castle, right? Shibata Katsuya shook his head slightly, looked at Qin Heqing and said.

"It may take a few days, but it shouldn't take more than a week." Qin Heqing thought for a moment and said.

Of course, this mainly depends on the situation of Kuroda Kanbei, if she has any plans to retake Himeji Castle, it will indeed take some energy, otherwise if she saves people alone, with the way he and Ayukawa move, everything can be done in two days at most and get things back on track.

"Then I'll wait for you to come back."

"Okay." After a pause, Qin Heqing added, "But before leaving, let me be satisfied." ”

"Huh?"

Then, without waiting for Shibata Katsuya to be in a trance, Qin Heqing violently overwhelmed her, lowered his head and held her lips.

It wasn't until a long time later that they were separated again.

"I'm leaving." Qin Heqing pinched Shibata Katsuya's chest with some nostalgia, and got up and said.

"Be careful on the road." Shibata Katsuya blushed and blessed.

"You too. Remember to wait here for me to come back. I'm not satisfied. Qin Heqing said with a smile.

"Hmm."

Then Qin Heqing stopped staying, walked out of the courtyard, and flew into the sky under the wrapping of Ayukawa Nian power, and disappeared from Shibata Katsuya's sight in an instant.

……

After such a small half a day, Qin and Qing returned to Himeji Castle.

"Qin Jun, you're finally here." Sensing Qin Heqing's arrival, Ji of the Criminal Department jumped out and said.

"Do you know the direction of the Ukika when they leave?" Qin Heqing asked.

Chasing people, there is no trace, and there is no beacon, looking for someone with full Harima is not much different from looking for a needle in a haystack, it is a wasted effort, so before officially looking for someone, it is better to determine the clues. Otherwise, Qin Heqing could only play a single horse rush into the battle, go straight to the Uki family, and determine the whereabouts of Kuroda Kanbei by waiting for the rabbit or coercing and luring.

"Well, I don't know." Ji of the Criminal Department weakened, and replied in a low voice with his head bowed and his chest.

“…… What use do you say I want from you? Qin Heqing, who couldn't hold back his desire anymore, heard the words, and directly slapped the head of the criminal department Ji, and said in a tone of hatred that iron is not steel.

"I won't." The criminal department Ji said embarrassedly.

"Then do you have any personal belongings of the guards in your hand, preferably the kind that you carry with you for a long time." Qin Heqing shook his head and asked again.

"I'll look for it." After speaking, the figure of the criminal department Ji flashed and disappeared into the air again.

However, it didn't take long, only about two or three minutes, and a book-like object reappeared.

"Hey, this is the Nanban Electromagnetism series that Comrade Gongwei has been studying recently, if there is anything that can leave a lot of breath on it, I think only this book meets your requirements." Ji of the Criminal Department said quite transparently while handing the book to Qin Heqing.

Obviously, he understood the purpose of Qin Heqing to find the personal belongings of Kuroda officers and guards.

"Electromagnetism...... It's really high-end. Qin Heqing pulled the corners of his mouth and said.

This should be, even if it is a later generation of advanced science and technology, it also belongs to the knowledge that can only be studied by the talents of the physics department of the university, and until now, it is completely a book from heaven, not to mention learning, and it is a thing worth celebrating to be able to figure out what electromagnetism is.

But the officers and soldiers were so good that they not only seemed to understand the existence of electromagnetism, but also began to study it......

Is this the world of genius?

Sure enough, it is not something that a liberal arts student like him, who studies words and historical documents and traces ancient history, can understand.

Then he didn't hesitate, holding the book with one hand, and grasping the surface of the book with the other hand, a strange aura that can only be seen under special vision emerged from the surface of the book, condensed into a ball and did not enter Qin Heqing's hand, and then Qin Heqing put away the book, conjured a piece of white paper, and asked Ayukawa to help fold it into the form of a paper crane.

Suddenly, the paper crane trembled slightly, as if it had come to life, and slowly flew up from its original place.

Without Qin Heqing's orders, he flew out in one direction on his own.

"Alright, I'm leaving, remember to pay attention to the situation in Himeji Castle." Seeing this, Qin Heqing said to the criminal department Ji beside him.

"Got it." Ji replied.

Then Qin Heqing did not stop, and followed behind the paper crane and moved in the direction where the guard was.

……

Just like this, one by one, after almost another half a day, Qin Heqing followed the tracking paper crane to another big city in Harima Country-Ako Castle, and the paper crane stopped, and flew around the castle tower in the city.

Obviously, Kuroda Kanwei, who was the target, was being held here at this time.

Immediately, Qin Heqing did not hesitate, put away the paper crane, sneaked into the castle tower, and explored in Chisui City.
