Yao tide, three moments.
Sawara Castle, somewhere outside the city wall.
Sun Yixie, who was chased away by a large group of shadows at the gate to enter the domain, came to Sawara Castle again after running for a while.
He is here for two reasons -
First, he and Keijiro were in Sawara Castle before the tsunami, so he thought he might be able to find each other when he returned here. After all, he couldn't speak the language now, and it was extremely inconvenient for him to move alone.
Secondly... before, Brother Sun had a one-stop service from joining the feudal clan to being imprisoned, so he only knew this one way.
But when he came to the wall outside the city, Sun Yixie was in trouble again.
"Damn it...these idiots built the city wall so high." He cursed at the city wall in front of him, which was several meters high and separated by a not very wide moat.
We all know that today Sun Yixie can already "climb up eaves and walk over walls, walking as fast as flying", but this... does not mean that he is a master of Qinggong, or even that he "knows" Qinggong.
His so-called "light kung fu" only has numerical values and no techniques... To put it bluntly, it is achieved by relying on the powerful internal force generated by the "reversing the universe" mental method to forcefully stimulate physical fitness.
The real Qing Gong is a technique that needs to be learned and practiced.
Assuming that a person who has never learned Qing Gong can jump twice as high as an ordinary person with only three points of pure internal force, then an ordinary Qing Gong must allow this person to at least jump twice as high as an ordinary person with only one point of internal force. times the height, or allow this person to jump to three times the height of an ordinary person with three-thirds of his internal strength.
This is the value of Qinggong.
Whether it is raising the upper limit or improving energy efficiency, the more advanced the Qing Gong, the better the ratio of these two points.
Of course, the functional tendency in actual combat is also an important consideration in Qinggong, but this is beyond the scope of the current discussion.
The problem facing Sun Yixie right now is...the height of the city wall and the width of the moat just exceed the upper limit that he can jump over, so he is really stumped without any light skills.
He now has two options: either use the trident to directly open a big hole in the wall and go through it, or simply find a place with a door and break through.
But no matter which one... there is a high probability that his intrusive behavior will be quickly exposed.
Once exposed, he may have to face the encirclement and suppression of those "unkillable soldiers" again, and there are probably more enemies here in Sawara Castle than there at the checkpoint.
With Sun Yixie's character, he really didn't want to get into this situation, so he was a little hesitant.
Unexpectedly, just as he was hesitating, hey, someone is coming.
"Hey, what are you doing there?" Although the man who came had a rough voice, his steps were so light that Sun Yixie, who was thinking about it, didn't realize that he was approaching within ten meters.
Fortunately, Sun Yixie was still wearing the Zuo Yuan clan's miscellaneous soldier's coat that he had stolen earlier, so the other party just regarded him as a deserting soldier and scolded him loudly from a distance.
"Ah?" Sun Yixie turned his head when he heard the sound and squinted his eyes...
But I saw that the person who came was dressed up a bit differently: first of all, his hairstyle was not the Tsukiyo haircut that was common among people from the Sahara clan, but long hair tied back, slightly messy; secondly, his clothes were also very common in kimono, Instead, he wore tighter and neater trousers. The clothes outside his close-fitting clothes were not lined with feathers or cloaks, but with shoulder armor like raincoats. Finally, looking at his feet, they were not leggings. They were not straw shoes or slip-on cloth boots, but leather boots which were rare at that time.
If a very "pragmatic" outfit like this appears in the Central Plains, even if the wearer is not carrying a weapon, he will generally be recognized as a member of the martial arts world. But in Japan... then he is probably a ninja.
I think a lot of readers have guessed it, so we won't take it for granted. The book hints here that this person is none other than Sahara Sect's confidant - Sahara Kansuke.
"Ah what?" Kansuke saw that Sun Yixie was still in a daze after being scolded by him, and his tone became more severe.
As for Sun Yixie... Although he couldn't understand the other person's words, based on the other person's tone and dress, he probably guessed the situation at the moment.
Brother Sun thought to himself: Oh no, I don't understand the language right now so I can't fool this guy. If we start fighting directly, we might attract a lot of monsters. What should I do?
He thought about it for a few seconds, and Kansuke was already approaching.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Kansuke was a ninja. Seeing that the other party's responses were delayed, he became suspicious and his tone of questioning became darker.
Seeing that Brother Sun was about to be exposed, he unexpectedly thought of a move at this critical moment: "Ah? Aba? Aba, ba, aba!"
"Huh?" This move of "pretending to be deaf and dumb" was indeed beyond Kansuke's expectations.
"Aba, Aba, ah~ah!" Sun Yixie not only acted with his mouth, but also made dancing gestures with his hands, pointing to his mouth and ears, and shaking his head.
Kansuke looked at his expression and movements, frowned and was silent for a few seconds, and then muttered: "Well... the manpower in the domain is not enough now to recruit deaf-mute people..."
However, he thought about it again and thought: "Sigh... But it's not impossible. Our Sawara clan only has such a small population. In recent years, wars have been going on, and all the strong men are almost gone. The few battles at the beginning of this year The battle...even the front lines are using old and weak people to make up the numbers, so it seems normal to recruit some such people in the rear." Thinking of this, he looked at Sun Yixie again, "Although this man is deaf and mute, he can see He doesn’t look very smart, but he is indeed quite tall, and at first glance he looks quite handsome... If he is just a handyman on night patrol outside the city wall, it seems to be enough."
After some inner self-persuasion, Kansuke sighed deeply, patted Sun Yixie on the shoulder, and said, "You, stop wandering around here..." He also gestured while speaking, and raised his finger to point. Heaven, "Something is going on now, do you see it? Come back to the city with me quickly. Let's go find other people and figure out the situation."
"Ah...ah." Sun Yixie is actually almost deaf and mute now - he can't understand what the other party says, and he can't speak words that the other party can understand; but he can still judge Kansuke's appearance based on his tone and movements. She didn't have any ill intentions towards him for the time being, and she asked him to follow, so he nodded repeatedly and pretended to understand.
Just like that, by some strange combination of circumstances, Sun Yixie managed to sneak into Kansuke's side and followed him to the main entrance.
It should be mentioned here that after the tsunami occurred, Kansuke was sent to a remote place where there was no one. However, he knew the roads within the domain, so he spent two moments and returned to a place closer to him first. Sawara Castle.
According to Kansuke's idea, maybe Sahara Zongga was sent to another place like him and has returned to the city now. He can go look for it first. If he can't find it, then he can collect some information and call someone else. Manpower, organize and go to the lake on the valley to explore again.
But he didn't expect that he would meet the sneaky Sun Yixie on the way.
After a while, the two of them walked one behind the other to the main gate of Sawara Castle.
There are supposed to be at least eight people standing guard here, but because tonight is the night of the sacrifice, half of the guards have been deployed, leaving four - this is what Kansuke knows.
But now when he led Sun Yixie to actually come here, there were eight people standing in front of the door, and these eight people were all strangers, and Kansuke didn't recognize any of them.
Although it was impossible for Kansuke to know all the miscellaneous soldiers under the Sahara clan... For example, Sun Yixie, who he considered to be a small soldier patrolling outside the city, had no contact with him at all on weekdays, so it was normal not to know him... But Shouzheng Kansuke knew quite a few of the several groups of guards who took shifts at important locations such as the gate guards, the tower guards, and the armory guards.
Logically speaking, it is impossible for eight people who Kansuke has never met to guard here, so Kansuke's immediate inner reaction is: Has the city been secretly infiltrated and the guards at the door have been replaced by the enemy?
Just as he was doubting this, the guard opposite also saw him and Sun Yixie.
When the other party saw that these two people had the family crest of the Sahara family on their clothes, they didn't fall out at the beginning. They just put on a more guarded posture and asked, "Who are you two? Why haven't I seen you before?"
Kansuke was asked by this minion and thought to himself: "You haven't seen me? I haven't fucking seen you yet, so you should have asked first."
"Are you all new here? Don't you even know me?" But Kansuke was not that reckless. He did not take action directly, but calmly asked questions and tested them.
"Huh?" The guard who came up to ask asked, "What are you talking about? Our brothers have been guarding the main gate for several years, and I have never seen you. Who are you? Please tell me your name. Come on, don’t try to get away with it!”
His tone was serious, and the other guards behind him also took action. They held their weapons with both hands and slowly surrounded him.
"Damn it..." Sun Yixie on the side didn't understand what they were talking about, but when he saw the battle, he was already scolding Kansuke in his heart, "This ninja is making trouble, I thought you were here As for the commander, why can’t he even get past the guards at the door? Isn’t this about to turn into being besieged again? It’s better for me to act alone.”
While he was cursing secretly, Kansuke in front suddenly rose up, jumped into the air, and without saying a word, threw a wave of shurikens at the approaching group of main gate guards.
While dumping him, he said: "It seems that the city has really been infiltrated... we can only break through by force."
Puff puff……
It was too late, then it was too late, eight shurikens, eight out of eight shots hit, each shot hit the throat directly, causing blood to seal the throat.
After all, Kansuke was Sawara's second-in-command during the Yuanwa period, and his strength was beyond what these ordinary guards from the Bunji era could withstand.
After finishing the show, Kansuke landed firmly. Then he turned his head and looked at Sun Yixie behind him with a side face. His eyes were suspicious and his tone was cold and he said: "Speaking of which... could you be the same... …”
"Aba Aba..." But Sun Yixie continued to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and raised his finger to point to Kansuke's other side.
Kansuke looked in the direction Sun Yixie was pointing and saw... the eight guards who had just been "sealed with eight swords" by his shurikens, stood up one after another in just a few seconds.
