Ninja? The first thing Xiao Letian reacted to was this term. The figure currently running on the roof of the dormitory was very similar to the image of ninjas in film and television works. However, this was during the day and the person on the roof was not wearing the classic night clothes. Ninja suit.
On the roof, Xiang Shaolong was competing with the ninja in their physical skills. The two figures were flying like civet cats among the roofs with a radius of 100 meters. The sound of hidden weapons shooting in the air was endless.
Although Xiao Letian is an absolute layman in martial arts, but after watching for a while, he can also find the strength gap between the enemy and ourselves. Generally speaking, Long Ye still has an overwhelming advantage. As long as the two figures intersect, it will definitely be the ninja who suffers the secret loss.
But then the ninja got smarter, and just used his weird body skills to entangle Xiang Shaolong in an attempt to end the fight with a hidden weapon. However, he didn't expect that Long Ye's hidden weapon skills were also very high, and the two of them were stalemate in mid-air. .
Gradually, Xiao Letian also understood some of the secrets of Ninjutsu. The so-called Ninjutsu is not mysterious, it is just a relatively clever deception. A powerful ninja will take advantage of various blind spots and misunderstandings in people's vision, such as the angle between light and dark in a building, the blind spot facing the sun, etc., to constantly flash their body, giving you a dazzling feeling. .
If no one tells you in advance that there are ninjas following you, you may not be able to spot the ghostly figure even if you walk dozens of miles on the mountain road, because they are playing with your eyes. This is an experience accumulated by the ninja group over thousands of years. Although they don't know the theory, it's all science and not superstition.
Ninja illusions are fatal to ordinary warriors, but when it comes to internal masters like Xiang Shaolong, they are completely helpless. Master Long, who is proficient in Wudang internal skills, can lock the enemy's general direction without having to close his eyes to the murderous aura. The blindness method is simply ineffective for him.
After the battle lasted for about a quarter of an hour, the ninja had two long wounds on his body. Although it was not fatal, the red blood looked shocking. The Japanese onlookers all screamed with fear on their faces.
While Long Ye and the ninja were entangled on the roof, the musketeers led by Luo Huo and the veterans led by Xiao Hexin and Sima Yun also organized a large siege network on the long street. The ninja inserted Even the wings cannot escape.
"Mr. Xiao..." The ninja suddenly spoke, speaking in Chinese with a strange tone, "I am here to send an invitation. I am not an assassin. I am sending an invitation to Mr. Huashan on behalf of Mr. Huashan..."
"Fart!" Mr. Long yelled loudly, "Why don't you go through the main entrance when sending invitations? What are you doing sneakily climbing on the roof? You are not just trying to spy on information, sir, don't listen to his nonsense..."
"Wait...let him come over!" When Xiao Letian heard that he was the envoy sent by Huashan Liyuan, he raised his hand to stop the attack of the people present, thus letting him live. Please come to more and faster chapters.
Under the threat of thirty muskets, the ninja did not dare to be clever and quickly knelt down and presented Kayama Rigen's handwritten letter with both hands.
Japanese intellectuals are all proficient in Chinese. In the minds of the real aristocrats, the improved Japanese is specially prepared for the lower-class untouchables. All simplifications are just because the untouchables are too stupid. The high-ranking aristocrats still like to use pure Chinese language. To write.
Therefore, although many Japanese intellectuals do not speak Chinese, they can easily communicate with Chinese people as long as they are given paper and pen.
"Huashan Liyuan is going to treat me to kaiseki cuisine tonight. This level is quite high. I wonder if it's the Hongmen Banquet?" Xiao Letian glanced at the invitation and handed it to Shi Dakai.
The ninja's head lowered, "My lord is asking you sincerely, please don't let us down..." Xiao Letian heard that, OK, this ninja has quite a personality, "Okay, I understand. If you don't listen to me a few times, you'll show me the greatest respect... Go back and tell Li Yuan that I must be there today..."
Looking at the ninja who was gradually walking away while holding his wound, Xiao Letian said with a sneer, "This is a nation that fears power but is not moral. If we want them to respect you, we must show our strength. Update Mom as soon as possible Did you send invitations to the roof? If I don’t teach you a lesson, you really think I’m a sick cat. Mr. Long, remember this. Next time there is such a ninja, you can chop a few for me with your own hands..."
Xiao Letian and his party had just arrived at Naha Port for one day when two conflicts broke out in succession. On the dock, Ahahachiro and the others were given a severe lesson. After lunch, they had a duel with Japanese ninjas in light kung fu and hidden weapons. They won two of the two battles. The entire Naha Port knew how powerful this group of people was. When many Japanese people passed by Sakura-no-Yuji, their footsteps were even softer.
Back at the dormitory, Shi Dakai asked in confusion, "Do we need to make things so big? Military advisor, you are here just to be a minister of the Ryukyu Kingdom and have trade rights. Is it necessary to have a deadly feud with the Japanese?" ?”
"Your Majesty, you don't understand. I know the Japanese nation too well. If you want to negotiate with them, it's best to have a fight. Beat them until they are full of teeth. Only in this way will they respect you. I will admit it in the first update. With our little strength, it is impossible to expel the Shimazu family. All we can do now is to shock them and let them know that we are a copper pea. If they want to eat us, they will have to break all their teeth... …”
Xiao Letian had his own worries. No matter how arrogant he acted, he could not change the gap in strength. He only brought more than 60 people with him, and Liang Kun had only been in Naha for more than a year, and the force of his men was no more than More than two hundred people.
Kayama Rigen has three thousand armored ashigaru in hand, and there are ten Anzha ships in the port. This two thousand stone large warship is already the pinnacle of Japan's domestic shipbuilding level, and every Anzha ship There are ten cannons imported from the West, which are very powerful.
Not only that, there are more than 100,000 Japanese scattered in Ryukyu, and the number of ronin among them is also not small. Even if you select only one from a hundred, you can select thousands of ronin warriors with high martial arts skills. Such a huge force is simply not something Xiao Letian can deal with now. Even if it is combined with the army controlled by the Ryukyu royal family, it is impossible to defeat the Shimazu family's army.
But Xiao Letian also has his own plan. He knows very well where the Shimadzu family's flaws are. This Ryukyu strategy test is Xiao Letian's judgment of the general trend.
That afternoon, the ordinary soldiers took a rest, while Xiao Letian and the senior commanders studied the next plan behind closed doors. Except for Mike, who left everyone to visit friends, no one went out.
At this time, there is a very gorgeous Japanese garden to the east of Naha Port, relying on the mountains. From here, you can not only see the whole of Naha Port, but more importantly, you can overlook Shuri Castle, where Ryukyu King Shoutai lives. In the city.
This is Kawayama Rigen's home in Naha, and behind the house is a large military camp. More than a thousand Ashigaru are stationed here. It is nominally to protect the interests of the Japanese in Naha, but in fact it is used to control the Ryukyu royal family. of. There are three military camps like this around Naha Port, which just surrounds the port.
The injured ninja at noon was kneeling on the ground to report intelligence to Kayama Rigen, but Kayama Rigen had always looked calm, neither happy nor sad. But the military commander next to him, Yamamoto Kiyoshi, had a hot temper. "Nani? He was actually besieged by dozens of people? How dare a slave of the Qing Dynasty use a musket? It's too presumptuous. Such rude behavior must be punished..."
Yamamoto Kiyo knelt in front of the Huashan family elder, "My lord, please give me a hundred soldiers. I will tie up all these arrogant Qing slaves and make them kneel in front of you..."
Before he finished speaking, Takenaka Inoue beside him shook his head first, "No, absolutely not. Xiao Letian is not an ordinary Qing national, he is a true unparalleled national warrior. All plans against such a person must be careful. Be careful, if you make a wrong move, you will lose the whole game..."
"Shut up, where is the honor of our samurai? Where is the glory of the Shimazu family? Don't you want it all..." Yamamoto Kiyoshi roared and the little tongue in his throat was clearly visible. Updated as soon as possible, but he didn't expect that the old man who had always been as calm as water would suddenly explode.
"Baga! Stupid thing..." He rushed up and slapped a dozen people in the mouth with his bow left and right. "What do you know? Do you know what the glory of the Shimazu family is? Does the strength of the Satsuma clan depend entirely on war? There are no rice balls, no What sword and armor do you use to fight, Baga..."
Kayama Rigen slapped him in the face when he cursed Baga, while Yamamoto Kiyoshi said "Hai" in his mouth with full respect when he was slapped.
After more than a dozen slaps, Yamamoto Kiyoshi's mouth was bleeding. Kayama Rigen breathed heavily and said, "Stupid thing, you know that after the Battle of Sekigahara, our Shimazu family, as the enemy of the Tokugawa faction, Do you know how severely we were punished? How much strength we were deprived of? And how did our Shimazu family recover in the past two hundred years? You don't understand these, but you dare to criticize my order here? "
Yamamoto Kiyoshi knelt on the tatami with his whole head on it. He was so frightened by the elder's power that he didn't dare to raise his head. It took Huashan a long time to calm down. He said to the ninjas in the courtyard, "Kirigakure, you go down and heal your wounds first. I will ask Kirigakure to replace you in the surveillance mission for the past two days. Go ahead..."
"Pass my order, tonight's kaiseki meal will be of the highest level. If you don't have enough money, you can use military funds..."
When Yamamoto Kiyoshi heard about the use of military funds, he almost subconsciously raised his head to express his opinion, but Takenaka Inoue beside him blinked at him desperately and shook his head, which made Yamamoto Kiyoshi stuff back what he wanted to say.
When Yamamoto Kiyoshi and Takenaka Inoue left the courtyard, the civil servant Takenaka sighed, "Yamamoto-kun, what are you going to do? Do you know how dangerous the family heads are now? Satsuma Domain, Choshu Domain, Tosa Domain and Hizen Domain have secretly formed an alliance , we have to stand by the Emperor's side, and the conflict between the Tokugawa family and us has reached a critical moment that is about to break out. At this time, do you have to give our Shimadzu family extra trouble?"
Yamamoto Kiyoshi obviously didn't think of this, and was stunned after hearing this. Then he bowed ninety degrees to Takenaka Inoue and said thank you, "Hai...Thank you Takenaka-kun for clarifying my doubts. I'm really too confused. I'm so stupid." The guy really should commit seppuku..."
Takenaka Inoue comforted him for another long time, and then the two slowly walked down the mountain to make preparations for the banquet. When the two of them walked through a noisy alley, they didn't know that a fierce conflict was taking place in the alley. Girl Qianxia from Sakura Nomad's house, her clothes had been torn, and a pair of white jade rabbits were lying around. He was shaking helplessly, and he was surrounded by greedy eyes.
