The agreed location is not far from the stronghold.

Xu San only took ten minutes to arrive, but there was no trace of the little rich woman after arriving.

He didn't know how to track in the jungle, but he learned from Kurosaki how to easily identify traces.

After searching, he easily found the way the little rich woman came, and soon found the place where the grenade had exploded, and when he searched again, he found a puddle of vomit.

After identification, it was confirmed that there was still undigested canned beef inside.

At noon, that's what they eat.

This discovery made Xu San's heart cold, knowing that something had happened to the little rich woman.

A wave of frustration welled up in my heart.

knew that it was Igara's gang of miscellaneous people, but he still let the little rich woman come out by herself

After a brief period of remorse, Xu San began to continue to look for traces.

After patiently searching for more than half an hour with the aid of a circle, he finally found a note with kunai nails on the tree.

When I opened it, I saw a few short lines of handwriting.

Dear Mr. Edogawa,

If you want your woman not to suffer, before the sun sets, rush to the Tiger Gully, two kilometers to the west.

The payment is Hattori Hanzo

Clenching the note, Xu San looked up at the sun that was about to set, shook his teeth, and immediately returned to the fortress of the stronghold.

He didn't ignore the little rich woman when he went back.

Instead, do some preparation.

Without a box cannon, his combat effectiveness is reduced by more than half, so he has to prepare, and calculate the time, and now Kurosaki has informed Yamamoto.

Originally, he planned to relay information through Kurosaki's intermediary, but now he decided not to wait, and contacted Yamamoto directly to exchange some information with each other.

Xu San didn't know where he was now, but that stupid Hanzo leaked the name of Laohugou.

With this place name, he was able to deduce a lot of information from Yamamoto, including the location of the place.

Hurry back to the turret.

Pick up the phone, crank the handle, dial the operator, and transfer to the Yamamoto Headquarters in Heian Prefecture.

It went smoothly, and Yamamoto seemed to be waiting on the phone, and he was connected immediately.

"Moxi Moxi, is it Yamamoto Daisa?" Hearing Yamamoto's voice, Xu San asked.

"It's me, Kurosaki-kun has already told me about you"

"Listen to me first." Xu San was in a hurry and continued after interrupting Yamamoto's words, "Now it has been confirmed that it is the ninja of Iga-ryu who is guarding this stronghold, the same group that attacked us last time. Not only did they hijack the train, but they also hijacked my women, so I killed them all. ”

"Killed?" Yamamoto on the other side of the phone was a little incredulous, and his tone was very surprised.

"Don't worry, I didn't do anything to the Imperial soldiers, and I killed all those lowly ninjas." After Xu San explained, he continued, "Now there is a place called Laohugou, and the location should be around the Tongpu line. We were hijacked in the early hours of the night last night and drove for more than an hour down the mountain. ”

"Okay, any other clues?" Yamamoto asked.

"I am a stronghold here, there is a turret, it has been built for at least two or three years, about two or three kilometers away from Laohugou, but the location of this turret is unreasonable, it does not stand along the traffic line, but in the deep mountains, it may guard something that cannot be seen. Nothing else. ”

After listening to this, Yamamoto turned to look at the map on the side and asked, "Along the Tongpu line, Laohugou, the distance is 2-3 kilometers." ”

Yoshinohan, who was standing on the edge of the map, quickly found the location, tapped it with his baton, and said, "In the southwest of western Jinxi, south of Nakajo Mountain, and north of Shakuzawa County." ”

Yamamoto nodded and told Xu San the location.

Xu San was silent for a while, and then asked again, "This incident shouldn't be General Shinozuka's order, right?" ”

"That's not what you should know!" Yamamoto said sternly.

"Is there a mark on your side of the stronghold I'm in now?"

Yamamoto heard that he covered the earpiece and relayed the question.

Yoshino immediately replied, "We don't have a stronghold. ”

Releasing the earpiece, Yamamoto said, "No! ”

Xu San, who was on the other side of the earpiece, seemed to take a breath, "There should be something wrong with that tiger ditch, I guess it's the stronghold of Iga Stream, I plan to exterminate it, does Yamamoto Daisa have any opinions." ”

The corners of Yamamoto's mouth twitched.

One man destroys a stronghold?

Hehe, Yamamoto knew that Xu San was testing him.

Because Xu San was hijacked, he didn't know about the hijacking of the train.

And the most important thing is that when he contacted the headquarters too far away, the correspondent there told him that Yoshio Shinozuka had gone north for a meeting.

He can confirm that Shinozuka went to a meeting to be true, because the person he contacted was Shinozuka's confidant, and he was able to tell him Shinozuka's whereabouts, and because he was Shinozuka's confidant. Otherwise, how could the whereabouts of a demoted commander be casually told to others, even subordinates need to be kept secret.

Through the information in her hand, Yamamoto also knows at this moment.

Someone is making trouble, and they want to make something big by taking advantage of Shinozuka to go too far away.

The current situation is too far away to be considered stable, although the Zhengtai line is hot at the moment, but the war has not spread too far.

got the information he wanted, Xu San hung up the phone, and then Yamamoto also hung up the phone.

He didn't look at the map, even if he knew Xu San's location, it was useless.

Because now it's not about fighting eight ways, it's about infighting.

He's not good at this.

But as Shinozuka's henchman, he still wants to do something.

After thinking for a while, he waved his hand and withdrew from the staff officers, leaving only Yoshinohan.

Yamamoto sat down in a chair, and Yoshino poured a glass of water and handed it over.

"Yoshino-kun, you should know about it."

"Probably got it!" Yoshino replied.

"What do you think?" Yamamoto asked.

Yoshinohan pondered for a moment before replying, "I'm a big guy, we'd better not get involved in it, and it's too far to get to Shakuzawa even if it's seven or eight hours by train, so there are too many things to do in such a long time." ”

"Are you trying to help that Xu San?" Yamamoto asked with a smile after taking a sip of tea.

"Yamamoto-sama, don't you mean that?"

"Nope! That Xu San didn't take Kurosaki with him on this trip, I'm afraid that something will happen to me. ”

"What's the matter? Will it be bad for us? Yoshino asked.

"I don't know! On the surface, it seems to be related to women, which is consistent with his personality. But is he that simple? Yamamoto asked rhetorically.

"Under . Ignorance! Yoshino said with a look of shame.

"He's let go beforehand, I'm thinking about how to help Lord-sama Shinozuka resolve this crisis." Yamamoto said meaningfully.

"Do you have a plan?" Yoshino asked.

Yamamoto shook his head, "I don't know the situation too far away, but I know it's very complicated. Especially after the Xiangshan Town incident, the open and secret struggle of the military department became more and more profitable. (End of chapter)
