"Boss, is the news from the second place accurate this time?"

Chongjia looked back at the little flag following behind him, and asked in a deep voice, "Red Eye, what do you want to say?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that the people of Honghu have disappeared in the Wa District for a long time, and now they suddenly appear out of nowhere, I always feel a little strange."

Although Red Eye is a small flag under the heavy armor responsible for foreign combat, it has a harmless baby face. At this moment, even if he is fully armed, he still does not have the slightest momentum on his body.

But the entire Jinyi Guard of Himeji Castle knows that this little banner who always smiles when he meets people is extremely ruthless in dealing with the enemies of the Jinyi Guard, and torture similar to cramping and pulling out bones to extract confessions is commonplace.

The tasks that pass through his hands often do not leave any living mouth, and he sneers at the edicts used by other brocade guards, so he often makes the two places responsible for providing information and tracking clues complain, and repeatedly complains in front of the hundred dragons.

If he hadn't been protected by heavy armor, I'm afraid he would have been taken off the position of the small flag long ago.

The red eyes met the gaze of the heavy armor and said with a smile: "It stands to reason that the current Wa District has no conditions for Honghu to make a comeback, and it is really a little unreasonable for the Heian King Sugawara Heijin to jump out at this time." ”

"Even according to the information provided by the second department, the cause of the whole incident was because the merits of the Xuanwei Division and Zhiwu Bishan were taken away, so in a fit of anger, he chose to jump over the wall in a hurry, and colluded with Sugawara Heizhen, preparing to make some noise so that Zhou Heyu could not come to the stage."

Hongyan licked his lips and sneered: "But we are all familiar with Wu Bishan, and he doesn't have too many brains. But no matter how unbearable it is, he is also a person from the Confucian Order, is it a little too naïve to make such a move? ”

Chongjia's face was slightly solemn, and he naturally knew these doubts that the red eyes said, as the chief banner, also knew it. And he knows far more than red-eyed.

This time, the information was provided by Zhou Heyu, the current envoy of Himeji Castle.

Zhou Heyu is from the Runan Zhou clan and is one of the most top-notch first-class gatekeepers within the Shin Donglin Party, and his noble background has made him very strong from the first day he arrives at Himeji Castle.

At first, he didn't give his fellow acquaintance Wu Bishan any chance to play with him, and indiscriminately eliminated all the henchmen under the other party from the official system of Xuanweisi, and replaced all the henchmen he brought from the empire in a series of important positions, completely emptying Wu Bishan's rights.

This kind of unruly move not only made all the preparations of Tongzhi Wu Bishan go down the drain, but also knew that Zhou Heyu did not share the idea of his merits, and made it clear that he would directly eat and wipe out the achievements made by him in the implementation of the new policy.

Such a ruthless and domineering style naturally made Wu Bishan hold a grudge, and the relationship between the two was therefore on the same page.

This kind of dog-eat-dog infighting between Confucian orders, Himeji Castle Jinyi Wei will naturally not participate.

However, after Zhou Heyu vigorously and resolutely obtained the power of the Yamen of Himeji Castle, he did not choose to stop for a while, but turned his head and directly found the hundred households of Himeji Castle, and asked Qiu Long to return with all the brocade guards.

He promised that after the end of the New Deal, Qiu Long could bring his Jinyi Wei to join the Runan Zhou family, but only if he accepted his Confucian letter from Zhou Heyu.

Qiu Long, who was already unpleasant to the Confucian gate valve, naturally couldn't agree, not to mention that the other party's attitude was still so arrogant, and he was open and kind in and out of his words, and he appreciated the unruly tone of Jinyiwei in Himeji Castle for a bite of food.

Therefore, the first meeting between the two sides ended in an unhappy one.

And this time, Zhou Heyu asked Jinyiwei to investigate Wu Bishan, which was a co-ordination document issued in the name of the Yamen of the Propaganda Department.

Because the case involves Honghu, even if he knows that the other party is likely to use his own hands to eradicate political opponents, Qiu Long can only pinch his nose and comply.

Originally, Qiu Long only planned to send two Jinyi guards at will to do a perfunctory matter, but the chief Qi Yuncong of the two departments put forward a different opinion.

"The possibility of Wu Bishan colluding with Honghu is very small, but the possibility of Zhou Heyu is very high! The Heian King Sugawara Ping is really a Confucian order, and over the years, Qianhu has always suspected that he has a Confucian order behind him, so he can recover his vitality at a very fast speed after being repeatedly surrounded and suppressed by the Jinyi guards of the Japanese district. ”

"If this time it is really Zhou Heyu who wants to use the name of Honghu to completely block the mouth of the family behind Wu Bishan and completely kill him, then it will definitely confirm all the evidence. As long as we can catch the live mouth and pry the name of Zhou Valve out of the other person's mouth, it will be a good thing for us. ”

These were the original words that Yun Cong said in front of Qiu Long and Chongjia.

It is precisely because of this that Chongjia will take the ten most elite Jinyi guards under his command this time, including Xiaoqi Red Eye, to the location where Honghu is hiding mentioned in the intelligence.

A manufacturing plant located on the outskirts of Himeji Castle that was once part of Mikawa Heavy Industries and is now an asset under the name of the Seonki Shoji Yamon.

"Our role is to execute, not to be suspicious."

Chongjia didn't explain too much, just said a word in the urn, and then pushed the bullet and loaded, and said in a deep voice to the subordinates behind him: "Start working!" ”

"A few of you have your eyes on the bright spots, if there is any accident, protect the general flag as soon as possible, do you know?"

"Yes!"

Red-eyed looked at the back of the heavily armored man with a worried face, pulled out the embroidered spring knife at his waist, and flicked a 'Wumu' shield on his left arm that was enough to cover half of his body, and quickly followed.

The manufacturing plant was eerily silent at night.

The factory is mainly engaged in the manufacture of infrastructure equipment, and the scale is not small.

After changing owners, Mikawa Heavy Industries completely reduced its industries and sold all factories outside of Edo Castle to the local Seiko Yamon at a low price. However, at that time, it was Wu Bishan who was in charge of Himeji Castle and put all his thoughts on how to implement the new policy, and did not care about these industries, resulting in the factory becoming increasingly dilapidated due to declining efficiency, and the huge factory area was overgrown with weeds and all kinds of abandoned machinery piled up.

Phew!

In the sky above the factory, a reconnaissance night owl flapped its wings and circled under the clouds, and the scarlet vision was synchronously shared with the eyes of the brocade guards on the ground.

There are no anomalies, not even a decent light and dark sentinel, it is completely a dilapidated unmanned factory.

"Boss, there's a ghost."

The red-eyed tone was very determined.

"Do we experience less of this kind of scene? If there are ghosts, catch them! ”

The heavy armor was unmoved, his left hand was facing everything forward, and everyone behind him immediately set up a sharp arrow formation, using him as an arrow, and quickly advanced.

Bang!

A 'Bright Night' bomb was thrown into the factory, and the dazzling white light flashed away. The two 'Wu Mu' shields took the lead in advancing and covered the Jinyi guards who followed closely.

It smells of blood!

All the brocade guards smelled the heavy fishy smell in the air almost at the same time, and the picture in front of them made their hearts sink suddenly.

There was no heat reaction in the night owl vision, and the factory that should have been empty was now covered with corpses and rivers of blood.

Judging from the clothes and appearance of these corpses, it is clear that they are all the cronies of Himeji Castle and Tochigo Bishan!

Did you fall into the illusion of the Buddha Kingdom on the ground, or did someone shield the situation in the factory?

Why didn't the reconnaissance equipment on my body have any warning?

Heavy armor didn't have time to think about this series of questions, because in the pile of corpses, there was a figure standing at this moment!

"Coming?"

A blood-stained dagger fell to the ground with a clattering sound.

The pitch-black environment can't form an obstacle at all, and the heavy armor can see the other party's facial features clearly, and it is one of the leaders under the command of the Honghu Ping'an King who is wanted by Qianhu!

"Fuck!"

The strange scene in front of him made the anger in Chongjia's heart surge suddenly, and he stepped forward and kicked Honghu to the ground, who had given up resistance, and quickly brushed his left hand over the opponent's facial bones.

It is a native face, without any traces of surgical transformation!

At the same time, the surrounding Jinyi guards also completed the identification of the corpse, and they were all from Wubi Mountain!

But why did King Ping'an's subordinates kill the people of Wubi Mountain? Could it be infighting?

"Say, where is Wu Bishan now?"

The cold muzzle of the gun pressed against the back of the bird's head, the humming of the charge gradually became irritating, and the loaded explosive bullet was powerful enough to blast the body in front of him into a rain of blood.

"Don't worry, now is not the time for interrogation. Moreover, Heavy Armor General Banner, are you looking for this official? ”

In the frightened gaze of the heavy armor, the head in front of the muzzle of the gun twisted its neck and looked back, and the face that fell into the eyes of the heavy armor actually rippled like the surface of the water, and instantly changed into the appearance of Wu Bishan!

But what made Chongjia even more frightened was the word 'Zhou' in a seal body exposed from the corner of the other party's forehead.

Confucian preface to seal the letter, the gate valve is dead!

"Hold a gun at this official, do you want to collude with Honghu to rebel?"

As soon as Wu Bishan's words fell, a dazzling pillar of light suddenly shot into the door of the factory, and a rainstorm of gunfire followed!

"Protect your lordship!"

The red-eyed roared and rushed out from the side, holding a shield in front of the heavy armor.

"Yun Cong, there is no news from the heavy armor side?"

In the Hyakunhe Office of Himeji Castle, Qiu Long sat behind the bookcase, looked at the two chief Qi Yuncong standing in front of him and asked.

"Not for the time being, but just now the reconnaissance night stalkers have sent back a report that they are starting to act, and I believe that the results will be available soon."

"Hmm."

Qiu Long raised his hand and rubbed his frowning brows, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, feeling that this time the plan was too hasty, and he had begun to regret his decision.

"Command the personnel of one place to be ready to leave at any time, and in case of an accident on the heavy armor side, they will immediately support."

"I'll arrange it."

Yun Cong responded, a faint smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth, and softly comforted: "Actually, my lord, you don't need to worry at all, heavy armor has always been very stable in doing things, even if you encounter any emergencies, you can handle it safely." And this time, with the red-eyed shrewd kid following him, there would be no accidents. ”

"I hope so."

Yun Cong looked at Qiu Long, whose face was still solemn, and took a step back without a trace, and then said: "My lord, just now the Xuanfu Si Yamen took the initiative to contact me just now, and asked me to convey some words to you."

"Contact you?"

The sudden burst of light in Qi Long's eyes made Yun Cong's whole body tremble, and he took a few steps back one after another.

"What did Zhou Heyu ask you to convey?" Qiu Long hid the coldness in his eyes and said expressionlessly.

Yun Cong hurriedly said: "Zhou Heyu said that he was not thoughtful before, and he said those words on impulse, I hope you can ignore your past suspicions, everyone is doing things for the empire, and don't affect the implementation of the new deal because of some verbal conflicts." ”

"What else?"

"He wants you to reconsider the retreat of Himeji Castle Jinyiwei, he knows that you are loyal to Su Qianhu, but now that Senho-sama himself has accepted the decision to dismiss, why do you continue to insist on it? Even if you don't think about your own future, you should think about the brothers in the household."

"I'm afraid these words weren't said by Zhou Heyu, you said them, right?"

Qiu Long directly interrupted Zhiyuncong's words, and Sen Ran's eyes looked the other party up and down.

"I know that I have always had some thoughts in my heart, and I want to devote myself to Zhou Valve and do things for Zhou Heyu."

In a slow and heavy tone, Yun Cong was covered in sweat like rain, and his face was as white as paper: "My lord, I."

"I don't need to explain, it's all human nature, I can understand it."

Qiu Long raised his hand to stop Yun Cong and continued, "Yun Cong, you should have been joining Himeji Castle Jinyi Guard for almost ten years, right?" ”

"I arrived in the Wa District in the second year of Jiaqi, just ten years."

"It's really a white horse."

Qiu Long sighed and asked, "How have I treated you in the past ten years?" ”

"Closer as brothers, closer as siblings." Yun Cong buried his head and replied softly.

"You do the same to me."

Qiu Long's tone softened: "In the past ten years, although our household has not made any remarkable achievements, it is worthy of the embroidered spring knife on the waist." During the period when they were crowded by King Ming and their group, the accounts of the 100 households of Himeji Castle had almost no funds except for the pensions for the casualties, but the two places you were in charge of never complained bitterly, nor did they let our intelligence lag behind others, I remember all of this. ”

"I know that you were persecuted when you first entered the Japanese area, so you have been holding your breath all these years, wanting to return to your hometown in brocade clothes, and slap those miscellaneous faces well, and show out the evil anger of the year."

Yun Cong lowered his head and didn't say a word, only the green tendons of his fists hanging down on the side of his legs appeared, and the fist bones clicked.

"So I am not surprised that you want to take refuge in Zhou Valve, after all, it is good to enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree, and it is better to have a way out than no way to retreat. If you speak to me directly, I will let you go, and I will let you take away enough people for you to gain a foothold in front of Zhou Heyu. ”

The coldness in Qiu Long's eyebrows grew, and he slowly got up with his hands on the bookcase and said: "But there is one thing you have done wrong, you should not take the lives of your brothers to do your own glory and wealth!" ”

At this moment, Qiu Long finally understood where the uneasiness that had always lingered in his heart came from!

It is the general flag of Himeji Castle that he regards as his siblings, and the clouds are cong!

"Qiu Long, you don't agree with this sentence, why is he wrong?!"

The door suddenly opened, and Zhou Heyu Shi Shiran, who was dressed in official robes, walked in, followed by a black-clothed servant with a cold temperament.

"Good birds choose trees to perch on, and knowing how to make trade-offs is the most valuable quality of being a man. Are you right, cloud from the general flag? ”

Yun Cong, who had always bowed his head and remained silent, was standing behind Zhou Heyu at this moment, and finally had the courage to raise his eyes and look directly at Qi Long, with a hideous face.

"What could I be wrong?"

Rumble!

The flames swept over the heavily armored figure, scorching upward, cut off by a flash of cold light.

Heavy armor was now covered in scars, revealing cracked bones under the shattered flesh. The most fatal is a narrow knife wound at the heart, and under the terrifying wound, you can see the heart of the machine that is beating wildly and has entered an overclocking state.

"Boss, this ghost is very fierce, it's not easy to catch."

The brocade guards around Gong Wei's heavy armor, in addition to the cold corpses, were left with red eyes that were also covered in blood, and a smile full of nonchalance on a baby's face.

Poof!

The heavily armored horizontal knife rests on the shoulder of an enemy, grabbing the opponent's hair and touching the neck to the blade, and throwing the severed head into the distance.

The head of the man who rolled to the ground hit his toes.

The next moment, he was kicked away at will by the expressionless Wu Bishan.

"Heavy armor, Lord Zhou has an order, I can leave you a life, as long as you kill this brocade guard, the position of the hundred households in Himeji Castle is yours."

Wu Bishan, who had been reduced to Zhou's valve dog, raised his finger and pointed to the red eyes.

In his right hand he held a short sword, the length of which happened to be the same as the wound in the heart of the heavy armor.

"My life is worth the position of a hundred households?! Boss, this business is a good deal! ”

Red-eyed looked back at Chongjia and said with a smile: "Boss, don't hesitate, such a good thing is not something that can happen often." ”

"Shut up!"

The reddened eyes of the heavy armor stared at Wu Bishan, and he said in a low voice: "I will cover you to go first, and immediately report the situation here to the hundred households after rushing out of the factory."

"I can't go."

The weak voice that came into his ears carried a dead silence that was unacceptable to Heavy Armor.

He moved his gaze blankly, and only then did he see clearly the terrifying wound in the red eye abdomen that almost cut open the entire stomach.

Such an injury is enough to be fatal for the red eye of only Nong Xuliu.

"This is an organ that Lao Tzu has worked so hard to cultivate, and it can't fall to the ground."

Red Eyes muttered to himself, pressing the five fingers of his left hand against the wound, pushing the intestines that had slipped out back into his body.

He looked up, the pupils in his eyes were already dilated, "Fuck, why can't you see?" ”

Syllable.

The red eye raised his hand and slapped himself, but he still couldn't dispel the darkness in front of his sight, so he could only turn his face in the direction of the heavy armor, and the corners of his mouth pulled repeatedly, but he was no longer able to show a full smile.

"Boss, don't be stubborn, the most important thing is to live alive"

The voice fell to the ground, and the mechanical sound soared.

Rushing blood spurted out of the wound, and then it was blown into patches of blood mist by the noisy wind.

The eyes of the heavy armor were red, and the embroidered spring knife, which was already on the verge of breaking, was wrapped in the last roar, and rushed towards Wubi Mountain, who was standing in the crowd.

"Kill them all."

Wu Bishan opened his mouth indifferently, didn't bother to look at the other party at all, and turned around and left.

The gunfire erupted like thunder, drowning out the surging sound of the fierce and undying death, drowning out the desperate sword light.

"It seems that in the entire Himeji Castle Hundred Households, there is only one smart person from Yuncong."

Zhou Heyu glanced at the shattered corpse on the ground with disgust, turned his head to the old servant beside him who was dressed in a black robe that had turned dark red, and said with a smile: "Hard work, Old Chen." ”

"It's just a trivial matter, and it shouldn't be praised by the son."

The cold and sharp voice poured into his ears, and Yun Cong, who was stunned in place, trembled, and finally came back to his senses, hurriedly raised his eyes to look at Zhou Heyu, who had already turned around, and shouted in horror: "My lord."

"On June 15, the twelfth year of Jiaqi, the former Himeji Castle 100 households Qiu Long refused to accept the dismissal order and the resignation review, and committed suicide in fear of crime in the household. The original general flag heavy armor colluded with Honghu and attacked Himeji Castle Xuanfu Division Tongzhi Wu Bishan, and was corrected on the spot. The general Qiyun of the second department understood the righteousness, and actively cooperated with Zhou Heyu, the ambassador of Himeji Castle, to carry out his work, and specially reported to the Ministry of War, suggesting that Yuncong be promoted to the 100 households of Himeji Castle. ”

Zhou Heyu smiled, "Yun Congbaihu, what do you think of this official's report, but what are the mistakes?" ”

"Of course your lordship is right!"

Yun Cong's face showed ecstasy, lifted his robe and bent his knees, and knelt down and kowtowed to Zhou Heyu.

Beneath his knees, scarlet blood soaked his clothes, devouring the flying fish patterns that represented Jinyiwei's identity inch by inch.
