At this time, the Japanese did not have a lot of nightlife, and the reedina castle entered a state of martial law early at night, except for the ashigaru patrolling the streets of the castle town, and there were no people coming and going before 9 o'clock.

After putting on the mainspring of the fully automatic mechanical watch, Lu Xiao determined the current time.

Turning on the breath, Lu Xiao quietly left the hut, and the little surname standing outside the door didn't notice his actions at all.

Although the temple is a place of Buddhism, the local monks have long lost their humanity in the study of the power of immortality, and they have no idea of being a monk, but they have taken sides in advance in the war between the country of Ashina and the inner government, and quietly took refuge in the inner house.

In addition to protecting the temple, Xianfeng Temple also domesticated a group of hidden ninjas who guarded the temple-Turbulent Waves.

The Turbulent Crowd were all very short and deformed people, and Lu Xiao happened to meet a Turbulent Crowd when he was heading to King Kong Mountain at night.

The dwarf-sized ninja crouched underneath an unidentified room and appeared to be eavesdropping on the conversation of the people in the room.

Through the wooden floor of the airy room, you can see the bright light reflected in the room, and the Turbulent Crowd is just outside the range of the light, and it is difficult for ordinary people to find the whereabouts of the Turbulent Crowd unless they come in front of them.

Lu Xiao didn't have these problems, and when he was heading north along the way, he would turn on the Eagle Vision scan from time to time to eliminate danger as much as possible.

In the process, he unexpectedly spotted a crimson target with deeper hostility near a large group of light red Soldier Reeds.

In a way, ninja, a profession unique to Japan, is also considered a peer of the Assassins, and there is a certain degree of similarity between the two sides' modes of action.

It was the first time Lu Xiao had seen a real ninja, and out of curiosity, he squatted in a dense bush and turned on his Eagle Vision to quietly observe the movements of the chaotic people.

Reaching Grade B Eagle Vision not only improves vision, but in the world of Assassin's Creed, Altaïr referred to the evolved Eagle Vision as Eagle Sense.

When Lu Xiao concentrated, he could even hear the sound of Ashigaru Ashitsu talking in that house.

"Lord Jiulang is so pitiful, he can only study in the small stargazing building by the moonlight, he is still just a child."

"Shhhh Don't talk nonsense, this is a decision made by Lord Genichiro, there must be their intentions on it, and this is not something we can interject. ”

"That's right, but at least I should provide some more candles for Kuro-sama, and I ...... when I think of what happened to the Hirata family Hey~"

Hearing this, Lu Xiao looked up into the distance with some surprise, 'Jiulang? Stargazing Tower? ’

In the bright moonlight, a tattered two-story tower sat at the far end of Lu Xiao's line of sight.

Only a faint candle light could be seen inside the tower, and there were a number of ashigaru patrolling back and forth near the open space in front of the building.

The Turbulent seemed to have gotten the information he wanted, and with the advantage of his small stature, he nimbly slipped out from under the low platform under the roof.

The Turbulent Crowd deliberately avoided the heavily defended front of the stargazing tower, and jumped along the steep irregular platform on the side of the mountain to approach the stargazing tower.

'Oh? Is there still such a way? ’

Since someone is responsible for "leading the way", Lu Xiao is also happy to act with him behind him.

Don't look at the stubby and short stature of the Ranbo people, as a ninja, he is very flexible in his movements, and he approached the main structure of the two-story small building after jumping a few times under the cliff platform on the side of the stargazing building.

But the height of the Turbulent Wave Crowd has become the biggest obstacle to his continued movement, stepping on the wall and jumping a few times, the Turbulent Wave Crowd, who is less than one meter two tall, can't touch the borrowing point of the height.

"Tsk! Lucky for you, stinky little ghost. ”

The scolding Chaobo people could only give up the invasion of the stargazing tower for the time being, and turned around to return the same way to find another way.

Before he could turn around, an inconspicuous metallic light suddenly streaked through the darkness.

With the sense of danger that has been crawling in danger for many years, the small stature of the Turbulent Wave rolls on the spot, trying to dodge the sudden attack of the unknown person on him.

The Hidden Blade in his left hand swung into the air, and although Lu Xiao was a little surprised by the sixth sense and physical flexibility of the chaotic waves, he did not stop the movements in his hand.

The right Hidden Blade popped out, and his feet slammed into the ground, keeping up with the speed of the Chaos Wave before he could stretch out from the tumbling state, and the Hidden Blade stabbed precisely into the Chaos Wave's short neck.

"Ho!"

The trachea in his neck was pierced, and the chaotic crowd couldn't even shout, and soon lost his strength and fell to the ground, blood gradually spreading on this cliff platform.

Confirming that the chaotic crowd was dead, Lu Xiao kicked his body into the depths of the valley and looked up at the side window of the stargazing tower, which was not very high for him.

A simple jump climbed the side of the platform, and Lu Xiao easily turned over and entered the interior of the stargazing building.

As the two ashigaru had said, there was only a faint glow of a low-quality candle in the stargazing tower, lit almost entirely by the bright moonlight that poured in from the open window.

A delicate-looking little boy was reading the yellowed book in his hand in the moonlight, and judging by the color, it was obvious that the book had been read many times.

"Huh?"

Jiulang didn't notice Lu Xiao, who was hiding his breath, but when Lu Xiao stood up from the window, his burly figure compared to the Japanese during the Warring States period blocked the moonlight outside the window, and Jiulang finally looked away from the books that had become pitch black.

"Who are you?"

Looking at Lu Xiao wearing a hood, although Jiu Lang had a vigilant look on his face, his demeanor did not look so flustered.

"If you are also here to seek the power of Long Yin, please die as soon as possible, no one can obtain the blessing of Long Yin without my voluntary permission...... Or rather, curses. ”

"Heh~"

Lu Xiao chuckled disapprelicly: "Don't worry, I'm not interested in the twisted power of Long Yin." ”

"Little brother, listening to your tone, it seems that you are very dissatisfied with your identity as the prince of Longyin?"

Kuro, who looked to be less than 12 years old, had a sad look on his face that did not match his youth: "What is the use of this power, can I revive the Hirata family who kindly adopted me?" ”

"In addition to attracting the covetousness of the treacherous people and bringing disaster to the reed, I don't see it having any positive effect."

Jiulang sighed and said, "No matter what your intentions are, please go back, you can't kill me, and there is no point in kidnapping me, so let me stay here and continue to wait." ”

"Wait?"

Lu Xiao casually found a bookshelf and jumped up to sit: "What are you waiting for?" What are you looking forward to? Say it, maybe I can help you. ”

Jiurou shook his head self-deprecatingly: "You can't help me, Genichiro won't let people help me, I'm just waiting for the final ending, I don't know where Ashina will go under Genichiro's leadership." ”

"Not necessarily."

A gentle and soft female voice suddenly came from outside the main entrance of the Stargazing Tower, Jiu Lang was taken aback, and the kind little boy hurriedly glanced at Lu Xiao to leave.

Lu Xiao smiled disappreciatively, still sitting on the bookshelf unmoved.

He had already seen someone approaching the stargazing tower through Eagle Vision, and the other party's expression in Eagle Vision was non-threatening blue, and it was obvious that she had no ill will towards Jiurou and herself.

"Crunch~"

As the door was pushed open, a woman in a kimono wearing a plain cardigan jacket slowly entered, and in order to avoid being spied on by outsiders, she also closed the door intimately after entering the room.

"Yongzhen?"

Jiulang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the other party's appearance clearly: "Why are you here, do you have any instructions?" ”

The classical beauty, known as Yongzhen, did not answer Jiurou's question, and her elegant and delicate face was facing Lu Xiao, with a hint of scrutiny and vigilance in her eyes.

"Traveler from the Ming Kingdom, why are you here? What are your intentions in approaching Kuro-sama? ”
