Jianming Chaos

"Master Military Command, can you be more specific?" Zhiming asked weakly.

Ito paced around, pondered for a moment, and said, "Actually, I'm not 100% sure, but I think it must be him. The one Sagi should know is He Chunxiuji!"

"He Chunxiuji?!" Zuo Mu was startled, "Why is he still alive?"

"Who is he?" Zhiming was curious.

"A cunning, warlike and dissatisfied lord of the emperor, who has been in power alone for a long time, one of the number one targets of the Shadow Alliance. This person is thoughtful and cunning, and killers including Yamada can't kill him. Until the Shadow Alliance is disbanded, He is still alive, I heard that he was killed by the Yinke Group, but unexpectedly..." Zuo Mu was extremely surprised.

"That's right, he didn't die. He was rescued. In order to survive, he has never dared to make a high profile. I heard that the emperor recently established a military defense station on Black Reef Island to prevent the Dragon Slave Kingdom from invading the border. According to reliable sources, Hideyoshi Just hide on that island!" Ito said with certainty.

"However, it is a volcanic island, overgrown with wild grass, and the birds don't shit. How could the emperor suddenly think of building a military defense station there?" Zuo Mu was puzzled.

"Perhaps the emperor has also begun to realize that even for such a resource-poor island, he must send troops to guard it? After all, this is also part of the territory of the Ito country." Ito guessed.

"You said that he has been disobedient to the emperor's rule, why did he suddenly go to guard the island obediently? Could it be that he really surrendered to the emperor in order to survive?" Zhiming asked.

"That's right, he is that kind of person! In order to survive, he will do whatever it takes, even if he has to betray the entire clan!" Ito said through gritted teeth.

"No, no one is chasing him now, why did he run to an island to hide? Could it be... that island has some shady secrets? Moreover, he is currently busy building fortifications, and he still has time to go to the Kidnapping Yamada and his son?" Zhiming's logical thinking was very rigorous.

"You'll know when you get there." Zuo Mu also thought that things were not that simple.

"After I found out that he was not dead, I planned to find someone to assassinate him on Black Reef Island, but I didn't expect you to be one step ahead." Ito planned to borrow a knife to kill him.

"So, the three of us agree?" Zhiming wanted to confirm.

"No, it's the same idea." Ito corrected his language error, "Your position is to save people, and my position is to kill him."

"Why did Hideyoshi send someone to kidnap Uncle Yamada? Logically speaking, he couldn't possibly know that Uncle Yamada is still alive!" Zhiming didn't understand.

"Back then, Yamada killed his whole family. Originally, the target was Hideyoshi alone, but in order to survive, Hideyoshi actually... used his family as a bait to lure Yamada, thinking of taking him down, but he was killed by Yamada, losing his wife and losing his army Later, Hideyoshi's resentment towards Yamada grew deeper and deeper. Unfortunately, the Shadow Alliance is too powerful. It is not bad for him to escape the assassination, let alone revenge. Later, due to pressure from the Emperor, the Shadow Alliance was forced to disband, including All killers, including Yamada, were hunted down by samurai and hermits, or exiled to some remote areas, or even abroad. At that time, everyone thought that Yamada was dead, and Hideyoshi had no choice but to stop. Unexpectedly ..." Ito felt that everything was a sinful fate.

"The biggest question now is: How did Hideyoshi know where Yamada is hiding?" Zhiming grasped the point.

"According to what you said just now, Yamada has been a fisherman for more than 20 years. If he had known earlier, he would never have waited until today, unless someone told him in two days. Yamada was kidnapped late last night, and the time was just right. Matches, doesn't it?" Ito analyzed.

"It's strange, except for you, me and Matsushima, no one else in the feudal mansion seems to know about this." Zuo Mu looked at Zhiming and said, "Could it be Matsushima?"

"The point is, what is the motive of Songdo doing this?" Zhiming was also kept in the dark.

"Matsushima is also a member of the Shadow Alliance, and is much younger than Yamada. It is very likely that he was brought out by Yamada. But why did he want to inform and harm his senior?" Zuo Mu couldn't figure it out either.

"Maybe there is a reason. I don't think Matsushima is that kind of person." Zhiming suddenly thought of something, and asked Zuo Mu, "By the way, after we went back, we didn't seem to see Matsushima?"

Zuo Mu thought about it for a while, and said, "I didn't pay attention at the time, but now that I think about it, I should not be in the mansion."

"But you can't conclude that he is an informer just based on this." Zhiming is still not sure.

"Who is Matsushima?" Ito asked.

"A samurai in the vassal mansion was a ronin before, and later became my subordinate. ...By the way, the lord Takazawa has passed away." Zuo Mu told Ito about the death of the lord.

Immediately, Ito was elated, and lost another enemy in his career, but his inconvenience was beyond words, so he pretended to be calm and asked, "How did he die?"

Zuo Mu didn't know whether to say it or not.Zhiming took the initiative to say, "Killed by Matsushima."

Ito's eyes flashed, and he asked: "Is there a traitor inside the feudal mansion?"

"It's hard to say." Zuo Mu shook his head and said, "My lord, I think the enmity between the two vassals should be over. Now Lord Takenouchi is the lord of the feudal lord. Although he has not officially obtained the emperor's edict, it is not too late. It's an internal matter. You also know Master Takenouchi's personality, he doesn't like to stir up disputes, so you can rest assured, sir."

When Ito heard this, most of the hostility in his heart had gone, but he still didn't want the other party to notice the change in his heart. He still maintained an indifferent expression and said, "It doesn't matter who is in power, anyway, the purpose of our Ito-gumi is: people are as good as you are." If you offend me, I will punish you."

"Speaking of which, I think it's time to discuss cooperation." Seeing that the time had come, Zhiming said, "We are here to rescue the Yamada father and son; and your purpose, Mr. Military Command, is to kill He Haru Hideyoshi. Since this is the case, we might as well stand on the same front. You don’t need to send troops, you just need to provide us with information about Black Reef Island, and we will destroy him.”

"Just relying on the strength of the two of you?" Ito squinted his eyes and looked at Zhiming, "There are countless elite soldiers and samurai on the island, how to break through the defense line? I know Zuo Mu's strength very well, but what about you? Do you have such strength? "

Without explaining, Zhiming directly showed the Sun Bead box and said, "You don't need to rely on your strength, you can rely on this."

"What is this?" Through the box, Ito could still feel the burning flames.

"The Sun God Bead is inside the box." Zhiming said straight.

"What?! You... how do you have this kind of thing?" Ito couldn't help stepping back, looked at the two and said, "It is said that this is the god of the sun goddess! Where did you go?"

"Looks like Ito-san has heard a little about it too!" Sagi intentionally or unintentionally brought the title closer, and said, "To be honest, we met Miss Mutsuki not long ago and saved her life."

Ito was shocked and silent for a moment, because he had never revealed to outsiders that he had a younger sister, and they were able to call her by her name, which proved that they were not lying to him.

Zhiming explained the ins and outs of the whole matter with reservations in the shortest possible language.

A cloud of surprise flashed across Ito's face, and he said, "So she is really in the palace of Yamatai Kingdom! I heard before that the Shenjin Pavilion over there is full of women, and one of them is named Muzuki. I suspected it was her at the time." , I didn't expect it to be true! I didn't expect...she became a priest in a foreign country! Then...what will she do in the future? According to you, Himisa will kill her sooner or later!"

"My lord, please don't worry. I think Miss Muyue will be fine if the queen is here; besides, there are gods behind her back to help you, so just rest assured, my lord." Zhiming didn't worry about Muyue's safety at all.

"Didn't she almost be beheaded before?" As his own brother, Ito was still worried.

"It was Himizo who caused the trouble before, but now that the Queen has personally stepped forward, I believe there will be no more troubles. To be honest, I never thought that the Queen would give me this magic bead. It's like a dream." Zhiming still finds it unbelievable. .

"I didn't expect Himiko to be possessed by the Sun Goddess. No wonder the army she led was invincible before. If she fought everywhere with the magic beads, not to mention the islands, the whole world would be conquered by her," Ito thought. It's creepy just thinking about it.

"I believe that all things in the world are interdependent, and with her own strength, even with the power of the Sun Goddess, it is impossible to conquer the world. Regarding this, I believe the queen knows it well, otherwise she would have already led the army on an overseas expedition." Zhi Ming is convinced of this.

"Then do you know how to use it?" Ito asked suddenly.

Zhiming was taken aback, and said, "She let me understand it myself, so I didn't ask any more. She also reminded me not to open the box lightly."

"That's it, you can't open the box, and you have to understand it yourself, what should you do? This is like giving you a martial arts secret book, but not letting you open it to read. What's the difference between not giving it?" Ito clapped his hands together. stand.

Zhiming had to admit that what he said was indeed reasonable. Could it be that the Queen gave him a "bad check"?

Thinking of this, Zhiming was impulsive and wanted to go back and ask her to understand.His eyes revealed his inner thoughts, and Sagi hurriedly said: "Don't be impulsive, there must be a way. If you go back angrily like this, you may harm Mutsuki."

Zhiming wanted to open the box right away, but he was afraid that he would accidentally raze the place to the ground; if he never opened it, the box would be useless.

Seeing Zhiming's emotional fluctuations, Ito was worried that his sister would be hurt, so he put down his face and said, "It's a coincidence that the two of you are here. Thank you very much for saving my sister. The enmity between the two vassals should also be resolved."

Hearing this, Zuo Mu finally let go of his hanging heart, and said, "Actually, next time I come, there are more important things I want to discuss with Brother Ito, but at present we must save people first."

Ito nodded and said: "Although I'm not sure whether Hideyoshi did it, you might as well go to Black Reef Island to investigate. Yamada and his son may not be on the island, but Hideyoshi must be there! As long as you subdue him, you can torture the situation. Even if it's not He should know something about what he did."

"Where is Black Reef Island?" Zhiming asked.

Ito led them into a camp, pointed to a black dot on a map made of rough canvas and said, "This is the island, about 150 nautical miles away from the main island."

"That's not too far away, we'll be there soon." Zhiming said.

"Where's your ship?" Ito asked suddenly.

"We... didn't come here by boat." Zhiming looked at Zuo Mu and said.

"Then...how did you come here? Did you swim here?" Ito was curious.

"My lord, don't forget that Zuo Mu is a person with the power of the demon world." Zhiming adapts to the situation and decides the world with one word.

Zuo Mu also smiled in agreement, he knew that Zhiming didn't put him on stage on purpose.

Ito shrugged and said, "Forget it, there are all kinds of wonders in the world. I've seen people who can disappear in place with a ball in their arms."

Zhiming immediately thought of something, and asked, "Master Military Commander, what are you talking about?"

"Nothing, nothing." Ito waved his hand and said, "Not long ago, I ran into a strange man in a black cloak in the Washio domain, holding a transparent ball in his hand, and said some incomprehensible words in his mouth, as if Ancient Persian. When he saw me approaching, he quickly disappeared with the ball in his arms. To be precise, he disappeared into a ray of light. I thought it was amazing at the time, but after thinking about it, it should be some quack tricks, using blindfolds to come Cheating, asking for some living expenses."

"Ancient Persian? Transparent ball? Disappear? Why do these plots feel so familiar to me!" A terrifying thought came to Zhiming's mind.

"What's wrong with you?" Zuo Mu asked when he saw that his teammates looked strange.

Zhiming came back to his senses and said, "It's nothing. Can your lord tell me what that strange man looks like?"

"He's wearing a hood so he can't see his face, but from the voice and the wrinkles on his hands, he should be an old man, and he's definitely not a local. He probably came from a western country. Persia has long since perished, so it can't be the ancient Persians Descendants, right?" Ito recalled.

"Could it be King Offa?!" Zhiming was startled and thought, "How could he appear in Yidu Kingdom? Moreover, it is obvious that he is holding a crystal ball in his hand! In this way, Master Gubosi used it at that time. The magic of another dimension did not really trap him, and he came back again! ... But it is wrong, the crystal ball must be chanted by others to move in space, how can the King of Magic hold the ball by himself?"

Thinking of this, he said with a heavy heart: "Let's go to Black Reef Island quickly, don't waste time."

"I can send an army to follow you, and I also want to take this opportunity to destroy Hideyoshi. The reason why I haven't acted yet is to train my troops with peace of mind, and on the other hand, I have scruples about the two samurai beside him. Zuo Mu should know who it is." Ito looked at Zuo Mu and said.
