Chapter 152: Kurogasa Tanuki
No one can be sure whether Lu Xiao's whim is effective for the time being, but the young people of the big clans, including Yamauchi, have long accumulated a grudge against the inner government, and he immediately expressed his willingness to accept Lu Xiao's training, even if it is only to serve as a peripheral spy agent.
Although Japanese ninjas have been praised by many anime and film and television dramas, in the final analysis, there is no essential difference between the nature of ninja work and assassins in the broad sense.
Leaving the task of persuading the teenagers of the major families to Yamauchi, who was eager to try, Lu Xiao locked himself in the study to compile these teaching materials for peripheral eyeliner.
Copying the ninja set would not work, it was impossible for the major families of Reeda to allow their children to engage in the lowly profession of ninja, and Lu Xiao planned to teach some of the concepts of assassins to these children.
Unlike ninjas, who wanted to stay as far away from the crowd as possible and reduce their presence, Assassin's Creed advocated blending in with the crowd and using the cover of the people to stealthily complete missions.
Lu Xiao didn't need these children to learn any abilities such as foot endurance, shuriken, and assassination, and these skills were difficult to learn in a short period of time.
All he needs to do is teach the children how to be a member of the crowd, and quietly record their whereabouts without attracting the attention of the Lone Shadows, and then summarize them and hand them over to the Eagle Crowd to deal with.
It will take some time for Yamauchi to convince the major wealthy families of Reeds to gather manpower, and Lu Xiao handed over the completed simple and accelerated textbook to Yongzhen to help keep it, and after resting for one night, he went to Xianfeng Temple again at the invitation of the son of Waka.
Stepping into the range of King Kong Mountain during the day, Lu Xiao really felt a different quiet scenery from before.
With the killing of the insect appendages in the temple, the mountain forest finally began to come back to life, and the birds and animals sensed the threat of Mt. Kongo and gradually moved back to this forest rich in natural resources.
All the way up the quiet mountain road, Lu Xiao enjoyed the beautiful scenery on the mountain by the way, the misty valley looked quite fairy, but when he walked to the middle of the mountain road, a chilling "whine" sound affected Lu Xiao's good mood of watching the scenery.
The rough and silly cry sounds very frightening, especially in this kind of empty mountain road, if you come at night, it is probably another style of setting on the set.
"Hey~"
Lu Xiao rubbed her hair helplessly, and followed the sound to the place where the cry came from.
A large man covered in fat and dressed in a rudimentary monk's robe was huddled in a ball and leaned against a tree, burying his head in his knees, and making a terrible cry worthy of a ghost's cry.
"Stupid big guy over there, what are you crying about here?"
At the same time as seeing this person, Lu Xiao probably guessed his identity.
Sure enough, in a conversation with the other party, Lu Xiao learned that this stupid big man with an immature mind was named Kotaro.
Don't look at him as tall and big, in fact, Kotaro is not yet 14 years old, and he is the same age as the princes.
Taro soldiers are a special class of troops unique to Ashina, they have a burly body and a thick layer of fat, and they are very strong in resistance to blows, but their intelligence is relatively low.
The appearance of Taro Bing is still a mystery to this day, and even the locals of Ashina can't say why.
However, Lu Xiao speculated that it should be related to the source water flowing from the Source Palace.
Kotaro, who has low intelligence, seems to have suffered something not long ago, and temporarily lost part of his memory, and he can't remember what he should do next or where to go, so he squats here and cries alone.
Lu Xiao, who already knew the plot, didn't bother to guess what Kotaro was thinking, and a few simple words coaxed him to act with him.
On the way deeper into Senhoji Temple, Kotaro would take out a huge persimmon from his body from time to time and look at it repeatedly, and several times he almost couldn't help but stuff it into his mouth, but for some reason, he finally gave up eating.
"Ding!"
"Stop."
After entering the main building complex of Xianfeng Temple, there was a sudden sound of gold and iron clashing in front of me, and it seemed that someone was fighting inside.
Lu Xiao raised his hand to stop Kotaro who was unconscious, and asked him to hide to the side first and not make a sound.
Turning on the breath block, he quietly sneaked into the temple, and Lu Xiao disappeared out of thin air in front of Kotaro's eyes.
Kotaro wiped his eyes in disbelief when he saw this scene, thinking that he was dazzled.
"Shen Yin?"
Entering the temple square, Lu Xiao found that the chaotic crowd was engaged in fierce infighting, and the two groups of ninjas with almost identical fighting styles knew each other's moves and habits well, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner in a short period of time.
One of the two groups was led by a short ninja wearing a black hat, and on the other side was mostly wearing a red bamboo hat.
'Red? Is the color of the inner house red? ’
After the Takeda family was destroyed by Tokugawa's ally, the Oda family, he ordered Naomasa Ii, one of the four kings of Tokugawa, to form the Tokugawa family's own Red Reserve Army, known as the Ii Red Reserve Army.
Although the wolf world is an alternate history, many places still follow the historical setting, and the target of the inner house is the Tokugawa family's Iyi Red Reserve.
Apparently determined to turn their backs on their homeland, the Ranbo people in the red colors clashed fiercely with another wave of Ranbo who advocated staying in their homeland, and both sides were killed in the battle without mercy.
On the rooftops, squares and grass of Xianfeng Temple, you can see the chaos of infighting everywhere, Lu Xiao himself can hide his aura and bypass here, but the huge Kotaro is unlikely.
There's no way to get around, it looks like we can only move forward by ending the fighting here. ’
As for which side to help, there is no need to think about it at all.
Lu Xiao was originally worried about how to better complete the side quest and get higher rewards, and the strong man sent to the door did not have to be used in vain.
Dealing with the group of rebels who betrayed the motherland can also further weaken the ninja strength of the inner government, and the number gap between the two sides can be narrowed.
The leaders of both sides did not join the battlefield, but instead watched the battle of their men in a restrained manner.
Although these two leaders of the Chaotic Waves were also able to use the Mirror Stopping Water Mental Method to alleviate the aura they leaked out to a certain extent, their proficiency was obviously far inferior to that of Yixin, and they could not even compare to the Sword Saint Monkey who was concentrating on cultivation without distractions.
Lu Xiao could find the place where the two were hiding with the intermittent signs of Eagle Vision, and he quietly bypassed the two factions that consumed each other's physical strength, and silently came behind the leader of the Red Riding Hood Waves.
When Lu Xiao's Hidden Blade stabbed into the other party's heart, the leader of the chaotic waves was shocked to find that his experienced self was actually assassinated behind his back, which was undoubtedly a shame for a ninja.
"Uh~"
The leader of the Red Riding Hood, whose mouth was covered, didn't even give a warning, and he fell to the trunk of the tree with his eyes wide open.
Customary helped the other party close his eyes, and Lu Xiao used the same method to assassinate several Red Riding Hood Rioters who were hiding in the grass and waiting for the time to move.
The imbalance in the number of people on both sides allowed the Black Hats to gradually gain the upper hand, and when the battle came to an end, Lu Xiao sat on the branch above the head of the Black Hats leader and suddenly spoke.
"Kurogasa no Tanuki, I'm going to confirm it with you one last time."
"Who?!"
The sudden sound above his head startled the leader of the black hat, and he subconsciously wanted to throw a poisonous shuriken behind him.
Lu Xiao moved behind him first, and the hidden blade in his right hand was pressed against the opponent's neck and threatened: "Don't get excited, the weapon is not long-eyed, if it is cut to the neck like Little Red Riding Hood over there, don't blame me for not reminding you." ”
"The Turbulent Crowd of the Black Hat, are you really willing to dedicate your strength to Ashina?"
