Although he was full of complaints about the name of this task, Ling Ze felt that this task was still very fragrant in his heart.

Originally, he thought that he would not trigger the task again before leaving, but he didn't expect that "another village will be bright and bright", and in the end, he really let him wait for such a task.

The difficulty of completing this task was actually not high, Ling Ze thought of a solution almost instantly, but he didn't have a clue about this task at all.

Because the things behind this task were a bit too complicated, it was difficult for Ling Ze to find obvious clues that could be used as key clues.

There were so many possibilities, and of course he couldn't try them all, because some of them were even contradictory.

What Ling Ze can think of now is probably the type of "let Xuedaiba and Scarlet Village Kenshin untie their hearts" and "completely eliminate the forces that are making trouble behind their backs".

This is also something that can't be helped, after all, the task requirements of "saving Xuedaiba" are a bit vague in itself, and the task of "killing Xuedaiba and Kenshin in Scarlet" is even more engaged, what else can this be? Is it possible to kill some tricks?

Therefore, in the choice of completing this task, Ling Ze would definitely not choose to "kill Xuedaiba and Scarlet Village Kenshin", whether it was from the moral perspective or the benefit aspect, it would be a little too frustrating, and the benefits were not enough to drive Ling Ze to do that.

Ling Ze initially understood "saving Xuedaiba" as "saving Xuedaiba's life", and there was only one reason why this mission would be triggered, that is, if he didn't do anything, the ending of Scarlet Village Kenshin and Xuedaiba would still be the same as before.

"The two tricks I taught to Kenshin in the Scarlet Village can't play a role at all, and I have been practicing sword skills with him for so long, so hasn't there been a slight improvement in his strength?

Sure enough, Gentle Township is the hero's mound, and the saddest pass is the beauty pass, and the scarlet village Kenshin still fell into a beautiful and peaceful life, and he fell into the beauty trick, and he could only be manipulated by others at will. ”

Ling Ze was secretly speechless, feeling the power of the gentle township of "eroding bones" to men, but he didn't worry too much, because he was looking at it very openly now, and it didn't matter if it was completed or not.

Now that he is gradually ready to go back to the world, he will definitely not delay too long in order to complete this task, and if he really can't find a clue, he will directly choose to complete this task.

"I don't need you to worry about my affairs, after all, we don't know each other very well, do you have private things to talk about? Then I'll leave and avoid it for a while. ”

For Iizuka, Ling Ze is now beginning to pay attention to this person, after all, this guy is the only clue that he can find the mastermind behind the scenes.

After answering Iizuka's question, Ling Ze got up directly and picked up the cane knife, then opened the door and walked out, leaving Iizuka and Scarlet Village Kenshin in the house, he wanted to go out and prepare in advance to find the mastermind behind the scenes.

"There have been a lot of big things that have happened lately, and it has been extremely unfavorable for us, and our raid on Kyoto ended in failure.

Mr. Yoshida, Mr. Miyabe, Mr. Irie, and Mr. Kusaka all died in the battle, and the three elders of the family who contributed to the incident were also apologized for this, and Mr. Takasugi was imprisoned tightly.

The conservatives have now completely taken control of the power in the domain, and they are purging our people in the domain, and now in Ogijo, people are being seppuku almost every day because of this. ”

After Ling Ze walked out of the wooden house, Iizuka finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he asked Kenshin of Scarlet Village, "Why is Ling Ze here?" But I got a ridiculous "I don't know" answer.

There was no way around it, and Kenshin didn't know how Ling Ze found him, and he didn't dwell too much on this issue.

But this made Iizuka feel very uncomfortable, after all, the appearance of this "Ling Ze" and "Zatoichi" was a variable that they did not expect at all, which was likely to affect their next plans, or the kind of impact that could almost cause a collapse.

But the matter is a foregone conclusion, and it is useless to complain, Iizuka can only find a way to solve it, and he quickly explained the matter to Scarlet Village Kenshin, which can be regarded as the first step of the plan, and re-established trust and contact with Scarlet Village Kenshin.

"Now we are preparing to rescue Mr. Takasugi, and once Mr. Takasugi is rescued, Team Odds will be in operation, and we will have the capital to regain power.

You can live in seclusion here during this time, although this is only a day's journey from Kyoto, but you should never go to Kyoto, the people of the Shinsengumi and the Huihui group have already killed the heroes, and Kyoto is very dangerous now. ”

Iizuka's words passed through the wall and into Ling Ze's ears, and he heard it clearly, Ling Ze did not stand by the wall and eavesdrop, but sat on a small bench in the courtyard normally, and could hear their conversation, which could only be said to be because Ling Ze's hearing was too good.

"Are Minoru Yoshida and Miyabe still dead?"

The first thing Ling Ze noticed was the death of these two people, after all, the two of them were able to survive the "Ikedaya Incident" thanks to the influence of the butterfly effect brought by Ling Ze.

However, it may be that radical people can easily become "martyrs" in the changes of the times, and these two guys eventually died in the battle and did not survive for long.

And this time the defeat of Shangluo was a big blow to the "Zun Wang Zaoyi faction" of the Choshu Domain, and the "Four Heavenly Kings of Songin" died three at once, leaving only Takasugi Jinsaku alive, and he is now imprisoned with uncertain life and death, this situation is really just like what Katsura Kogoro said, it can be called a complete loss.

"Where's Mr. Gui?"

For Gui Kogoro, Scarlet Village Kenshin is still very concerned, after all, Katsura Kogoro has always been good to him, and he takes good care of him.

"I can't get in touch, I haven't been in touch with him since the Ikedaya incident, and now his reputation inside and outside the domain is not very good, and everyone calls him "Runaway Kogoro". ”

Iizuka shook his head and replied, he really didn't know where Katsura Kogoro was, that man was too cautious, there was no news about Katsura Kogoro circulating in the market at present, and some people even wondered if he died in the chaos of the army, in the fire that the Choshu Domain ignited in Kyoto.

"If Iizuka had known where Katsura Kogoro was, then Katsura Kogoro would have been caught by the people of the shogunate, and it seems that Katsura Kogoro had already been suspicious of Iizuka for a long time."

Ling Ze could understand Gui Xiaogolang's disappearance, after all, as one of the few existing figures who could lead the "Zun Wang Yi Pai faction" of the Choshu Domain, his most important task now was to survive this turmoil.

As long as people are alive, there is always hope for the revolution. If people lose land, people and land will survive. ”

"But there's a question, if Katsura Kogoro really started to suspect Iizuka a long time ago, then why did he ask Iizuka to contact Kinkmura Kenshin?"

Ling Ze's mind began to fly through the plot of the original book, and he vaguely remembered that after Iizuka pitted the Scarlet Village Kenshin, Gui Kogoro directly took the second-generation "Executioner Draw the Sword" Zhi Zhixiong to find him.

"Does this mean that Katsura Kogoro has been secretly monitoring everything all the time? Otherwise, how could he, a fugitive who was being hunted down, catch the flaws of Iizuka, a person who was born as an intelligence, so easily. ”

Ling Ze thought of such a possibility, if this was really the case, then all of this could still make sense.

"So ruthless Kogoro, even the guard Katabei who has been with him for many years has not been able to gain his trust?"

Ling Ze couldn't help but be speechless, Iizuka could contact Mr. Katabei, but neither he nor Mr. Katabei could contact Gui Kogoro, Gui Kogoro seemed to have completely abandoned them, and he completely cut off contact with these two people.

And what was his purpose in doing this? Because there is a new "Executioner Draw Sword Zhai", so you want to borrow the shogunate's hand to get rid of Kinkmura Kenshin? Or do you want a Kenshin who has completely lost his feelings and hates the shogunate?

In fact, both possibilities exist, after all, from the real way Gui Kogoro treated the second generation of the "executioner pulling out the sword" Zhi Zhixiong, it can be seen that he is not a "good person" in a broad sense.

On the eve of victory, first let the musketeers backstab Zhi Zhixiong for real, and then directly set fire to the corpse, which can really be said to have done a terrible job.

"In the future, you will live incognito here as a medicine merchant, and when the time comes, I will naturally inform you, and your skills will not be wasted."

As Iizuka spoke, he walked out of the wooden house, followed by Kenshin Kagemura, and it seemed that Iizuka was about to leave.

"What about Ling Ze?"

Seeing that there was only Xue Daiba planting seedlings in the yard, but there was no Ling Ze's figure, Scarlet Village Kenshin asked suspiciously.

"I left just now, I guess I'm going back."

Xuedaiba, who was inserting Miao, raised his hand to wipe the beads of sweat on his forehead, looked at Scarlet Village Kenshin and replied.

"That's a dangerous evil guy, haven't you heard of those rumors? In the future, it's better to try to have less contact with that kind of person.,Who knows if he's a monster.。 ”

When Iizuka heard that Ling Ze had left, his courage instantly became bigger, and he began to speak ill of Ling Ze, which made Kenshin Kakamura feel a little speechless, and Xuedaiba also looked at Iizuka strangely, obviously thinking that this man's words were a little ridiculous.

"Forget it, when I didn't say it."

Iizuka, who was bored with himself, waved his hand, and left here directly, the task he came to this time has been completed, everything that should be done has been done, and then he should go back to deliver the news, and find a way to eliminate the unknown influence of that "Ling Ze".

Ling Ze, who had already "left early", walked out of the shadow path, he kept up with Iizuka's pace, Ling Ze followed very carefully, because he knew that Iizuka was an intelligence worker, and he must be proficient in various anti-reconnaissance techniques, if he was not careful, he might really be tricked by that guy.

And it's true, Iizuka didn't actually find Ling Ze, but he still instinctively began to detour, began to avoid tracking, and began to fight wits and courage with the air, this may be his occupational disease as an intelligence officer, he is really an expert.

If it's an ordinary person with little experience, it's impossible to track Iizuka, and this man with rich experience in anti-reconnaissance can easily turn around the people who follow him.

But it's a pity that Ling Ze didn't rely on his eyes to follow him, but on his perception of all aspects of the human body, and there was no way to get rid of Ling Ze by relying only on visual deception.

Moreover, Ling Ze still has the emperor's tool, if he loses the target, he can completely open the "perspective and farsightedness" to lock the target again.

Iizuka turned around and came to a small inn located in Otsu Castle, and there was a sign hanging at the door of the small hotel that was closed, and when Iizuka knocked rhythmically and regularly at the door, a head poked out inside.

After the two of them confirmed their identities, Iizuka was placed in the small hotel, which was obviously just a disguise, and its interior was not a hotel, but a temporary base belonging to the assassins.

Ling Ze used the emperor's "perspective" ability to see clearly, there were a total of six people in the small hotel, in addition to the Iizuka who had just entered, there was also a little boy, and four people dressed as ninjas.

The little boy was Yukiyogen, the younger brother of Sedaiba, who had come to Kyoto in search of his sister and was brought here by the assassins.

And among the four ninjas, three ninjas are young people, and they are dressed in black face-covering night clothes, and they look very ninja when they look dressed.

The leader who sat at the top of the middle was much older, at least forty or fifty years old, but his body was very strong, no less than the young ninjas around him.

"There is still no news from Gui Kogoro, but the executioner has already been eaten by us, and it is only a matter of time before he is taken down, and that plan is really very effective."

Iizuka took off his hat and reported the situation to the leader, who was placed by the side of Scarlet Village Kenshin together with this leader, and their purpose was to make Snow Daiba weaken Konemura Kenshin's strength.

"It's a pity, Gui Kogoro's head is no worse than the executioner's sword pulling, but it's not bad to have this one."

The leader shook his head slightly, as if he felt a little pity, after all, they played this big game of chess, and their original goal was to wipe out all the people of the Choshu Domain in Kyoto, including Katsura Kogoro and the "Executioner Draw the Sword".

Now that the main goal is running, it is indeed a pity for them.

After all, it's "Kogoro who ran away", and even their own people can't find him, so we can't do anything about it. ”

There is a strong sense of ridicule in Iizuka's words, and I don't know if it's aimed at Katsura Kogoro or the abandoned Katabei.

"This man is a real villain"

Ling Ze listened outside, feeling a little speechless, this Iizuka betrayed his own vassal Changzhou Domain for his own interests, which is definitely a very despisable thing in this era, especially his betrayal does not involve any "righteousness", just for his own selfish interests.

If he was "Infernal Affairs" from the beginning, then he should not be blamed, but his ability should be praised, but this pure "two or five boys" behavior is really despised by the public.

Ling Ze is now facing a choice, that is, whether to directly kill it and wipe out this group of people directly.

If you do this, it is equivalent to giving up directly, and judging from the name of this task, you can actually think that this task is estimated to be the last task that can be triggered in a short time.

After all, this plot is only over here, and if you want to follow Kenshin of the Scarlet Village to trigger the mission, it is estimated that there is no hope.

"Forget it, this is too difficult to do, and I can't figure out what it is, so let's just complete this task."

After thinking about it in his heart, Ling Ze made a decision directly, if it was an obvious goal, he could wait a little longer to complete it.

As for now, the targets are already in front of them, and it's a bit redundant to let them go for the sake of not knowing what.

"Boom !!"

Ling Ze directly slammed his fist on the courtyard wall, smashing the courtyard wall to pieces, and this time it immediately alarmed several people in the room.

"Someone broke in!"

The tallest of the three young ninjas, holding a large axe, immediately shouted, and at the same time he was already running towards the doorway with the big axe.

Although Ling Ze didn't understand why this guy was obviously a ninja, why he took a long-handled axe as a weapon, but even an assassin can turn into a berserker, and a ninja with the same nature as an assassin can't use this weapon for no reason.

Ling Ze was not polite to this guy, and locked the position of the tall ninja outside the door, Ling Ze directly broke into the door without stopping, and pierced the jaw of the tall ninja from the bottom up.

Ling Ze then quickly drew his sword, some of the blood was absorbed, some gushed out, and the tall ninja figure holding a long axe fell.

Ling Ze!! Why are you here?! ”

Seeing the figure that suddenly came in, the first reaction was Iizuka, his face was frightened, obviously he didn't quite understand why Ling Ze appeared.
