Chapter 16: The Ghost Legion
I don't know why, the happy chick's smile and eccentricity stirred up a little melancholy in Tang Yu's heart: "Dare to ask the girl, who are you that Sea Dragon King?"
The chick pursed her mouth unhappily and said, "Does this have anything to do with you, why should I tell you?"
Tang Yu smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm just asking casually." β
"I'm waiting for the state government to arrest quickly, and I'm here to find the old man of the Salt Gang to investigate the case. Xiang Jincheng couldn't hold back on the side, and shouted loudly: "Lord Headcatcher is here, the little girl can't be rude!"
Feng Letai signaled to stop and said, "Xiao Xiang, don't have such a big voice, look at and scare other girls." β
"It turned out to be a dignified catcher, tsk, disrespectful and disrespectful. β
The happy chick tightened her sleeves, glanced at everyone with a not unadulterated gaze, and said lightly: "It's just that you have to think clearly, this is my house, not your three-foot law hall." According to our Daming law, the personal freedom and property of law-abiding citizens are guaranteed, may I ask this big brother who catches quickly, have I committed any crime?"
"This ......"
"Then what kind of majesty are you?" the happy chick waved her hand, not shy and shy "Since you are fine, then please-"
Xiang Jincheng was speechless, and his neck turned purple.
A few people bypassed the little girl and went straight to the door of the house.
I haven't gone far yet, and I suddenly heard the happy chick calling behind me: "Hey, that country boy who has had a relationship with this girl, you wait a minute." Tang Yu stopped and turned around, but saw that this little woman who was just crying and dancing had changed her face, her eyes were like water, and she looked at herself. His heart sank, and he unconsciously asked, "Did you call me?"
The happy chick made a gesture: "You come here." β
Tang Yu turned his head and glanced at everyone.
Xiang Jincheng was ridiculed, dissatisfied in his heart, and said angrily: "Look at what we are doing, this little girl called you, you can just go." What's in our way?"
Feng Letai also nodded: "Go ahead, we will wait for you outside the mansion gate." Don't panic, see what she has to say to you?"
Tang Yu agreed, and he stayed, standing in the middle of the road. The happy chick ran over in three steps and two steps, approached him, and said mysteriously in a small voice: "Tell you, this fox fairy sees that you still have a little conscience, your spiritual light is depressed, your roots and bones are quite good, you are a talent that can be created, and I will reward you with a chance to improve today." β
"Why, you can't mess around. Tang Yu couldn't guess her scheming for a while, and said perfunctorily: "You tell me first what do you want me to do with you?"
"I want you to accompany me to a fox demon convention. "Happy chick's eyes burn.
Tang Yu was stunned for a moment, and said calmly: "It's really fake, why does it sound like it makes people mad and get goosebumps all over your body?
"Hate, believe it or not. The happy chick was angry, "If you don't want to go, forget it, I'll find someone else!"
"Then you can find someone else, and I will not accompany you. β
"Okay, you're a little catcher, you've only been an official for a few days, and your temper has grown?"
Tang Yu said: "Anyway, it's not a big deal, who is going to be different?"
"I want you to go with me, okay. The happy chick smiled like a flower and said: "The dignified official is poor, all poisons are not invaded, with you catching the adults quickly, the evil demons will go around!"
"Why don't you try?"
"That's right. Remember, as long as you are obedient, this fairy will definitely not be able to treat you badly. β
"And when are we leaving?"
"Three watches tonight. β
The happy chick paused, stroked a lock of long hair hanging down on the sideburns with her fingers, and said, "Tonight's third watch, at the door of my house, see you or leave." β
Tang Yu agreed and took his leave.
After going out, he rode a horse outside and waited, Tang Yu didn't say much, took his mount, pulled the reins on his horse, and whipped him casually, and a group of people had to leave the Sea Dragon King's Mansion.
On the way, he told Feng Letai, Xiang Jincheng and others about this matter as it was, and asked: "You say, should I go or not?"
Xiang Jincheng was tendoned and went straight to the ground: "Then if you don't go, it's the hardest thing to accept the grace of the beauty, and you can't find such an opportunity by holding your neck!
Tang Yu was noncommittal.
Feng Letai was silent for a while, then smiled and said: "It's nothing, why don't you go? Besides, I always have a faint premonition that behind this seemingly absurd farce, there may be an unknown mystery buried in it." Even if it has nothing to do with solving the case, it doesn't matter, I should give you a chance - I think that little girl seems to mean something to you?"
"Stop, stop. Tang Yu told me: "I earn five taels a month, in this capital city, I can't afford to buy a house or a car, and I want to ask for a daughter-in-law, hehe......"
With a whip, he rode away.
Besides, Lin Fanghe, since he left the palace, went straight to the Ministry of Rites. Accompanied by relevant officials, he met with Fumitsu Funayama, the head of the Dongying Exploration and Trade Mission.
Funayama Wenyue wears a high crown and an official uniform, with a red complexion and prominent cheekbones on both sides. The eyes are small but sharp, and there is a mustache under the nose. When he saw the official visiting, he greeted him: "The people of the island country are shy to meet the state, and they are disrespectful and disrespectful." β
Lin Fanghe returned the salute and said, "Mr. Funayama, don't be polite. β
The subordinates served tea, and the two chatted for a while, Funayama Wenyue was puzzled, glanced at Lin Fanghe, and asked: "My lord is busy, I came here, do you dare to tell me something?"
"I'm here this time, do I have something to ask Mr. Funayama?" Lin Fanghe picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Don't dare. β
Lin Fanghe put down the tea, took out a diamond-shaped dart from his sleeve, held it in his hand, and showed it to the Dongying envoy: "I don't know Mr. Chuanshan, can you recognize this murder weapon?"
Funayama Fumikoshi took the dart and looked at it carefully, feeling puzzled: "This seems to be the weapon of our 'ninjutsu cultivator', 'Feiling', also known as 'cross nail', how could it fall into your hands?"
"Are you sure it's Feiling?"
"That's right. β
"A while ago, a gang of gangsters intercepted them on the street, using this kind of diamond-shaped dart, blowing needle, and miniature bow and crossbow in a vain attempt to shoot my minister of the DPRK and the Central Committee!"
"Is that true?" Funayama Funayama was a little alarmed.
"Don't worry, Mr. Funayama, we know that this matter has nothing to do with you. Lin Fanghe's face was calm and said, "Can you talk to me about 'ninja'?"
Funayama Fumiko stood up, looked around to the left and right, saw no one, leaned over and whispered: "The so-called 'ninja' is a kind of special combat killer produced by special training from a special organization, they are ordered by the suzerain of a certain force, and can quickly sneak behind enemy lines to carry out reconnaissance, espionage, assassination, disruption and sabotage activities......"
"Do these people only show up in the dark?"
"Not necessarily, 'ninjas' often wear makeup and disguise themselves as various social characters to blend in with the crowd. For example, beggars, monks, Taoist priests, hawkers, jugglers, charlatans, etc. β
Lin Fanghe was fascinated by what he heard, and interjected: "Then do you know who these 'ninjutsu' martial artists who have wandered to our dynasty are?"
"If I'm not mistaken, their leader should be Iga Oo?" Funayama Fumikoshi stroked Feiling and said with a smile, "Iga is my junior brother, this man is ambitious, ruthless and vicious. He organized a group of highly trained ninjas, known as the 'Ghost Shadow Army', and first defected to the Oda family, and after Oda was defeated by the three masters of Hyakchi, he turned to work for Hyakchi - Iga Onio once led 200 ninjas to secretly infiltrate Osaka Castle and assassinate the other party's big leader, but unexpectedly strayed into the labyrinth and touched the mechanism, and his subordinates were killed or injured, and there were not many survivors......"
"And what about this Iga?"
Funayama Fumikoshi put down Feiling, looked at Lin Fanghe, and replied, "After the assassination failed, Iga Onio was no longer able to gain a foothold in the island country, so he led the remnants across the ocean and came to the state of Chinaββ"
