The Kirigakure kid is no longer the narrow-minded female ninja she was a few years ago. In the past few years of her entanglement with Xiao Letian, she has traveled back and forth between Ryukyu, Japan, and the Qing Dynasty. The total number of people and things she has seen is more than what she had seen before. More than half a lifetime combined.
Traveling thousands of miles has been the best way to broaden your horizons since ancient times. As she experienced more people and things, she became more and more cunning. Although her loyalty to the shogunate remained unchanged, the way of loyalty has. Changes occur quietly.
If it was the Kirigakure brat in the past, her choice today would be to die as an apology like the White Tiger boy. Even though she was just a ninja, her loyalty to the shogunate was no less than that of the samurai.
But after seeing the outside world, her mentality has changed. Now the Kirigakure brat understands the importance of leaving the green mountains without worrying about running out of firewood, and she had already colluded with the French before this war.
In Ryukyu and the Qing Dynasty, Kirigakure Kid had seen too many privileges possessed by the West, and she also deeply understood the terror of strong ships and cannons. Precisely because she had seen the power of the West, Kirigakure Kid gave herself The escape route found was France, an established European power.
The French minister in Japan, Roche, and instructor Chédovan also needed an internal agent who was proficient in Japan's domestic situation. In addition, both parties also had a common enemy, Xiao Letian, so they hit it off. The Kirigakure kid provided secret information to the French, and the French Provide her with appropriate protection.
After the bloody battle of Osaka Castle, Xiao Letian had not thought about killing these French people, but he knew that if he did so, it would have very serious consequences. An important reason why the British and French forces burned the Old Summer Palace was the Qing Dynasty The government kills envoys without permission, which is a taboo in modern international relations.
This group of French people have absolute diplomatic immunity, and the Japanese government has no control over them. In addition, the roar of the camp that night distracted Xiao Letian, and the Kirigakure kid actually escaped with this group of French people. battlefield.
Of course, no one in the French team who had immunity dared to check the local daimyo. Xiao Letian, who dared to check, was dragged in place by the situation in Osaka Castle and was unable to do anything. The Kirigakure kid broke through easily.
When the French instructor team left Qingzhou, Roche looked around and said to the Kirigakure kid in a low voice: "At this rate, we will be able to reach Edo Castle in three days at most. I don't know what your plans are for the future, right?" Should we continue to stay in Japan, or follow our fleet to Shanghai or Hong Kong?"
The Kirigakure kid was silent for a moment, "Shanghai, after all, it is relatively close to Japan and Ryukyu, and the concession will also provide me with protection, right..."
"Well, it seems that you already have a plan, but I want to remind you again, I'm afraid we won't be able to provide you with protection and funding when you get to Shanghai. You have to rely on yourself for everything..."
The disguised Kirigakure brat made it impossible for anyone around her to see the change in her expression, but this woman was already cursing in her heart. These shameless French people used me before with promises like flowers, just like my queen. You can immerse yourself in the glory of France for half your life, and you won’t have to worry about it for the rest of your life.
But now it seems that there is no use value anymore, so I will kick him away immediately. Luo Shi, you bastard, didn’t you promise to send me to Europe when you slept with me? Why don’t you keep silent now? Shanghai and Hong Kong just I sent you away.
But the scolding continued in his heart, and Kirigakure's tone was still very polite: "Thank you, Mr. Minister, for your concern. The little girl still has some savings. She should have enough food and clothing to live in Shanghai... and I still have a group of ninjas who are loyal to me." , with their protection, the Minister will not have to worry..."
Luo Shi smiled slightly when he heard this, and said to himself, "You have already lost your family dog. How can you talk about being a loyal soldier? Go ahead, keep on blowing. However, the diplomat's self-restraint will not let him reveal his true feelings. Instead, he nodded, "Very good. This puts me at ease..."
"But Kirigakure-sama, I have always had a question in my mind, why did you encourage the White Tiger boy to assassinate Sakamoto Ryoma? As far as I know, Sakamoto Ryoma belongs to the moderate and neutral faction in Japan, although on the surface he is a senior official of the overthrow faction. , but he once presented a series of reform plans to the general, so he seems to have no reason to die."
The Kirigakure kid looked at the French minister with a sneer, "My lord, I seem to have forgotten, whose blood is flowing in Ryoma Sakamoto's veins...it's Xiao Letian, the evil ghost from hell. He is the vanguard of Xiao Letian's control of Japan." , he never wanted to make Japan stronger, killing him is equivalent to cutting off one of Xiao Letian's arms."
Roche felt the strong murderous intent in Kirigakure kid's words. He asked in confusion, "Although I hate Xiao Letian as much as you do. This is our common enemy, but I always feel in your eyes and words." There is a strong sense of personal hatred... Do you have any personal hatred between you?"
"No." The Kirigakure kid screamed like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. The French instructors around him were shocked and looked around with alert faces, for fear of Japanese soldiers rushing out of the woods.
"There is no personal hatred... Everything I did was for the sake of the shogunate. There is only national hatred between me and him. I will never allow Xiao Letian to get involved in our Japan."
Luo Shi stared at the Kirigakure kid in surprise and said to himself that your generals are now Xiao Letian's guests. Why are you, a ninja running errands below, so angry? It's as if this shogunate belongs to your family, but this He would not express his thoughts.
The Kirigakure kid seemed to want to change the subject, and she suddenly said, "Mr. Minister, do you really think that Xiao Letian has won this war? I don't think so. In fact, the fun has just begun... Don't think that I just told you It was a joke."
"Well, can you explain a little more clearly what you just said to me..." Roche quickly asked, but the Kirigakure kid was completely shut up now. She touched the fake beard on her lips to stop the conversation. It was nothing. Meaningful talk.
Roche asked again and again, but the Kirigakure kid didn't speak. In the end, the minister was too lazy to ask and urged his horse forward to chat with Xie Duowan and others.
The Kirigakure kid carefully recalled the envoy's question just now. Her thoughts fell into deep memories. Why do I hate Xiao Letian so much? Why on earth.
In fact, it's not just Xiao Letian. The Kirigakure kid hates every Chinese from the bottom of her heart. In her eyes, all Chinese deserve to die and none of them can survive.
A long time ago, when he was only five years old, he and his brother had been living in a fishing village on Kyushu Island. Although life was hard, under the care of his brother and mother, Kirigakure had a relatively lucky childhood. Unfortunately, everything happened in the summer when he was five years old. Everything has changed.
That day, she and her brother were fishing on the sea together, and they encountered a common Chinese sailing boat halfway. The brother and sister both made a living at sea, and the appearance of Chinese boats was too familiar to them.
The two brothers and sisters rowed the boat excitedly and followed the fishermen from the surrounding villages. They held up the freshly caught abalone, scallops, pipa shrimp and other seafood for sale. If they could get a few clear yellow copper coins from the Qing Dynasty, then the life of the family would be better this year. That's better. Who doesn't know that Chinese businessmen are very generous?
But no one expected that there was a disgusting old man on board this Chinese merchant ship, and he immediately fell in love with the beautiful Kirigakure kid. At that time, the disgusting old man tricked the Kirigakure kid onto the ship, and then told the fishermen in the same village , ready to buy himself away with a bunch of money.
His brother kowtowed desperately on the deck and begged for mercy, but what he got in return was the ridicule of a boatload of sailors, while the folks in the same village dared not speak out.
What made Kirigakure kid even more unexpected was that his father, who only drank alcohol without doing any work, actually knelt down in front of the Chinese businessman and happily took away the bunch of copper coins. Kirigakure kid remembered it very clearly. It is a string of Yongzheng Tongbao.
No matter how much the girl cried, no matter how hard her brother begged, they could not make her father's heart soften. All she knew was that the drunkard ran away with the copper coins in his hands. The Kirigakure kid knew that none of the money would be left to his mother in the end.
I will never forget that day. My mother and brother chased me barefoot on the beach, crying and screaming. They fell down and got up again and again. The surrounding villagers were helpless and no one knew what to do.
Go to the government and find out that this is a girl bought from her father. This kind of transaction is not illegal, and local lords and powerful people will not offend a maritime merchant for a little girl. In their eyes, a Chinese merchant has A shiny copper coin is much more important than a little girl.
Maybe that's fate. The Kirigakure kid knew that Minako's sister from the neighboring village was sold by her family three months ago. I heard that she was sold to Edo Castle to enjoy her life. She didn't have to work and dressed up every day. The bright ones make money.
Five-year-old children don’t know what kind of life that is. Maybe girls are born to be sold, because there are too many such examples around them.
For the Japanese nation, it is not a problem at all for girls to be sold, and even the girls who are sold are resigned to it. According to historical records, during the Meiji Restoration, the scissor gap in Japan was astonishing, and farmers, as the lowest class of society, were Harsh exploitation.
At that time, boys would be sent to work in factories as long as they reached the age of fourteen or fifteen, and when they were older, they would serve as soldiers to feed themselves. Girls in their teens would either be sold to factories as the hardest laborers, or become prostitutes. Only the children of truly wealthy families will receive education.
And those children who get education are the hope of Japan's future. Girls like Kirigakure Imp are just a population at best.
It turned out that after the Kirigakure kid passed the initial stage of homesickness, she had already resigned herself to her fate. She was even fantasizing about beautiful clothes and exquisite food in her subconscious.
Of course, all of these are available. On this merchant ship, the Kirigakure kid enjoyed gorgeous silk clothes and exquisite food that she had never dreamed of.
But all happiness comes at a price. That night, two extremely vicious women walked in and announced that hell had arrived for the Kirigakure kid because they were going to bind his feet.
Horrible punishment. The little girl had never thought that there was such an evil punishment in the world. The long white cloth was tightly wrapped around her feet. The two cow-like women even tried their best to break themselves. of foot bones.
The Kirigakure brat will never forget the pain of that moment. The bones of her feet were twisted and deformed, and the broken bones stung her flesh. She wailed helplessly and even passed out from the pain. However, no matter how much she begged, she could not get any mercy. .
She will never forget what those two evil women said: "Such a beautiful girl must be entangled in three-inch golden lotuses. Only then will she be valuable... Hahaha."
Thinking of this moment, the Kirigakure kid suddenly felt that her feet began to tingle. Although the master had healed her feet, she would never be able to see the painful memory of her childhood in her lifetime.
"That evil China must be destroyed. No one can be left alive. They all have to die...including Xiao Letian, he also has to die."
This is the oath of the Kirigakure brat.
Note: The second update is here. The secret of the Kirigakure kid is finally revealed. Now everyone knows why this woman is so perverted.
There is no love without reason in this world, and there is no hatred without reason. Many of the eccentric personalities of adults are actually related to his childhood experiences.
Poor people must be hateful, but this saying can also be understood in reverse, hateful people must also be pitiful.
Okay, let’s not talk about the Kirigakure brat. Today is the second update. Why don’t you subscribe and give Xinjing some surprises?
