After learning the specific clues of the demon monk from Hattori Gohachiro, including the location and specific time of their transaction this time, Yun Qi and the three of them got up to say goodbye.

Gohachiro is also willing to provide some support if they need help, although the power he has cultivated himself is still very weak, but the so-called "weak" is actually relative to the entire Hattori family.

Looking at the three people who left, Hattori Gohachiro got up and watched, his heart surging with ups and downs.

Hattori Gohachiro's ability is the strongest among all the brothers, but because of his bad background, he can't get the throne of the first heir.

Moreover, because his mother was only a talented courtesan, and could not get assistance from the matrilineal family on the road to succession, there was little hope of inheriting the name of Hanzo.

Now, he has tried his best to gain his father's trust, and finally took charge of the family's largest gambling house, which is tantamount to holding the family's financial power, and his father also talked with him, intentionally or unintentionally, about his dissatisfaction with his stupid brother, and in disguised instigation of him to participate in the internal struggle of the family.

Even if he wants to be an old man in peace, he is afraid that others will not let him have a good time.

Fortunately, now, he has been isolated and helpless, and finally caught the capital to seize the heir.

"Zhengchen, I now have the help of the Koga faction, see who the name of Hanzo is!"

……

Leaving the Tianzang Gambling House, Yun Qi and the three of them found a deserted restaurant, asked the shopkeeper to bring in an Accord, and the three of them lined up and sat down in front of their respective dining tables.

The dining table is a unique dining table in Japan, and it is a table for one person, and to put it bluntly, a wooden table is placed on a four-legged stool to put cups and saucers.

Among the discerning aristocracy, the ingredients were served one by one by a special maid and then divided into portions according to the number of people. Finally, it is placed on the dining table in a certain order for guests to enjoy.

Yun Qi and the three of them were just dining in a dilapidated small shop, and they didn't pay much attention to the ingredients, so they just took the opportunity to eat this time to discuss the next steps in a place where no one would disturb them.

Blowing away the shopkeeper who was about to come in to serve the meal, the three of them had no regard for Japanese dining habits. Directly put the three tables together, then bring all the food to the table and start eating.

The food is simple, one bowl per person, three pieces of snow-white tofu floating in the miso water, and a few kombu sticks, and the condiment is the favorite soybean of the Japanese people, which has a name called miso soup.

Compared to China, a large number of ingredients are used to make stewed broth. Miso soup is bland, and it can't be compared to the 5,000-year-old Chinese cuisine in terms of taste and vision.

The only advantage is that the soup is relatively salty, and it is barely good to use it to enhance freshness. This was also a great advantage in ancient times when salt was scarce.

The other dishes are nothing more than a small stack of dried radish, two small dried fish the size of chopsticks, and a bowl of white tofu with animal oil. and a bowl of white rice that can barely fill your stomach.

This kind of dish is in the eyes of modern people who are accustomed to big fish and meat. It's like pig food.

However, in ancient Japan, when resources were scarce, it was already considered a mid-range or higher restaurant to be able to bring out a bowl of rice.

If Yun Qi could understand the shogunate's strict control over rice, which could be used as military food, then he would have to raise the evaluation of this fragrant bowl of rice to a higher level.

Yun Qi and Tie Feng are both big meals. Even Helena, who has been strengthened many times, has a wonderful appetite, a small bowl can only be called exquisite rice, and after two or three pulls, you can see the bottom of the bowl.

But if you want to add a little more food, don't even think about it.

Limited supply is also a feature of mid-range and lower-range restaurants. Who told the shogunate to control rice to the point of inhumanity.

This reminds Yun Qi of the Japanese control area in China during World War II, where ordinary people even ate home-grown flour and rice were classified as economic prisoners by Japanese devils.

It turns out that this is still a Japanese tradition.

Of course, for those with a big appetite, it's not that you don't have anything to eat, unless you're willing to eat those coarse grains of rice bran.

The three of them boasted that they were from the **** kingdom, so naturally they would not eat the garbage of the hungry stomachs of the Japanese untouchables, anyway, there was still canned food stored in the coat of arms, but they wanted to eat a good hot meal, so they had no choice but to run aground.

After a full meal, the three of them pulled the table open, sat cross-legged together, and began to discuss the next action.

According to the information given by Hachiro Hattori, the demon monk will trade maps in a ruined temple on the outskirts of Edo tonight.

The three of them did not have the slightest doubt about the accuracy of this information.

Because this is information that is systematically demonstrated, there will be no fakes.

However, this information is not complete.

First of all, there is no information on the trade of the demon monks, only that this is a despicable and wicked person who is dressed up in the cloak of participating in Buddhism and cultivating the Tao, and does dirty things.

As for the strength of the demon monk, there is no mention of it in the intelligence.

Tie Feng didn't care about Yun Qi and Helena's caution: "Isn't it just a demon monk?" It doesn't matter how many catties he has, you can't just go up and knock him down. ”

Soon, Tie Feng's recklessness was opposed by Yun Qi and Helena.

"Since the Hattori family has shelved the information on the Demon Monk trading map, it shows the difficulty of this mission, which makes the Hattori family, one of the sixteen god generals, feel tricky. That demon monk must not be underestimated. Yun Qi expressed his opinion.

"I agree with Yun Qi." Helena raised her hand and agreed.

"What then? Could it be that because the Hattori family is jealous, we will give up this opportunity to seize the map? Tie Feng asked rhetorically.

This time, it was Helena's turn to express her opinion: "Actually, whether the map is captured or not may not have a far-reaching impact. Since we've reached an alliance with Hachiro Hattori, why don't we just ask about the location of Iga Akurakure Village? ”

As a member of the Hattori family, it is impossible for Gohachiro not to know the location of the village of Okurakushi.

"No, doing so will only make Gohachiro doubt our identity - as an Koga ninja, there is no reason not to know the location of Iga Ikakin Village. Now, we're just starting to establish a relationship with Gohachiro, and anything that arouses his suspicions will only weaken our already weak verbal alliance. ”

Yun Qi then said: "Moreover, the importance of a map of Japan is not only manifested in the search for the interests of Iga Hidden Village, don't forget, according to the development of the plot, Koga's side was also attacked by the Iga faction, if we enter Koga one step earlier than other reincarnators and stop Iga's sneak attack, I believe that in the next relationship between us and Koga's high-level leaders, there will be benefits that others do not have." Moreover, the importance of a map is not limited to dealing with disputes between two ninja factions. ”

"So, you're going to have to make a difference with the map?" Helena asked.

Yun Qi answered the question with a nod.

Helena said: "Then there is only one way to deal with the demon monk. (To be continued.) )
