Ah Shi looked up and saw the woman in front of him, who was not much older than him. Is she the boss of this place? What is the relationship between the two of them, what is her identity, and what is her purpose in Japan?
At this moment, countless reasons appeared in the girl's mind, so she did not speak to Yan Yu immediately.
Yan Yu smiled to herself, looked at her and said lightly: "I come from the hive in China. Due to various reasons, I am temporarily avoiding trouble in Japan, that's all."
"It was thanks to the help of my boss that I was able to lock down the positions of those ninjas so easily." Fang Bie continued unhurriedly from the side.
It’s not that Fang Bie deliberately put a spotlight on Yan Yu, because they both came to see Ashi together, but one was in the light and the other was in the dark. When they rushed here next, it was Yan Yu who was also in charge. It is the duty of a close scout to provide guidance in the dark.
Although the absolute combat power of Yan Yu, the queen bee, is not very good, compared to monsters like Fang Bie, He Pingqin, and Yan Yu's own level, at least it is not worse than Xue Ling.
After all, the queen of the hive also has her own dignity.
"Also, you can call me Yan Yu." Yan Yu continued.
"Um, Miss Yan Yu." Ah Shi finally calmed down and looked at Yan Yu calling her name: "Thank you for your help."
Ah Shi lowered his head and said, then looked up at Yan Yu's veil: "Are you hostile to the Oda family?"
When she said this, it was with a little temptation, but more with a certain awareness of seriousness.
It would be okay if there was only one Fang Bie, because at first Oda Nobunaga really recruited Fang Bie by recruiting lone ronin.
But now if it is confirmed that Yan Yu is actually the object of Fang Bi's allegiance, just like Japan is in the Warring States Period, but it pays more attention to kindness and loyalty. Compared with letting Fang Bi, who is like duckweed, be loyal to the Oda family, let Fang Bi It is obviously more difficult for the Yan Yu who is loyal to the Oda family to surrender.
If it was purely a cooperative relationship, then Oda Nobunaga would probably not consider it at all.
"Hostility?" Yan Yu chewed the word, then smiled and shook her head: "I have no hostility towards Japan as a whole."
"However, I came to Japan with a certain purpose, and so far, I have been fighting for this purpose."
Ah Shi bit his lip gently after listening to Yan Yu's words: "Then, can I make a request to you in the name of the Oda family and ask you to send me back to Guye City immediately?"
Ah Shi looked at Yan Yu and said eagerly: "I must tell my brother immediately about the situation we are facing now. The Oda family is likely to encounter an unprecedented siege."
"Siege?" Fang Bie said unhurriedly from the side: "Can you explain it in detail?"
"The ninjas of Koga have always been in a relatively neutral state. There is a difference between them and the ninjas of Iga who simply bought the highest price. Once they choose to be loyal to a certain daimyo, they will have to wait until the daimyo is defeated or betrays them. I will not change families easily. This time I dared to risk offending the Oda family and sent such a large formation to ambush my retainers to deal with me. They must have chosen to be loyal to Imagawa Yoshimoto."
"Imagawa Yoshimoto?" Yan Yu repeated the name, and Fang Bie smiled: "He is known as the No. 1 bowman in Tokaido, but to be honest, if he can annex the Oda family, then he will indeed have the best chance of reunification. The whole Japanese people.”
"Yes." Aichi nodded: "Imagawa Yoshimoto has formed an alliance with Takeda Shingen of Kai and Hojo Ujiyasu of Sagami. The three combined forces have a hundred thousand troops, and Imagawa Yoshimoto's family alone has nearly five Ten thousand soldiers and horses, my brother often said, if that big fool Imagawa Yoshimoto can swallow Owari, then he is only one step away from becoming a shogun, because he himself is a member of the Ashikaga family of the current shogunate."
"Previously Imagawa Yoshimoto had written a marriage contract to my brother and wanted to marry me for his son, but he refused. My brother said that I should marry the most amazing man in Japan instead of giving birth to the son of a big idiot. She gave birth to a child, which angered Imagawa Yoshimoto.”
"I once cried to my brother and said that if I could not offend Imagawa Yoshimoto, then I would be willing to get married. But my brother said that Imagawa Yoshimoto was not only after me, but also the fields and iron guns of Owari Province. He could take the With these two treasures, Imagawa Yoshimoto will have the opportunity to dominate Japan, and his brother's own wish is to spread military force all over the world. He said that this small island in Japan cannot accommodate two tigers, not to mention how can Imagawa Yoshimoto be worthy of the title? On the tiger, if I were in the position of Imagawa Yoshimoto, I am afraid that I can conquer the world within ten years. Imagawa Yoshimoto is now in his forties. His fifty years of life have been like a dream. Now Imagawa Yoshimoto is fifty. His life span is almost over, he is like a dry bone in a grave, and defeating him is like searching for something."
Yan Yu listened to Ashi's Yan Yu and couldn't help but look at Fang Bie: "Is this the big fool of Owari Country you call him?"
"Look at you being so arrogant and treating the names of all Japan's heroes as nothing. What else is this but a big fool?" Fang Bie said with a smile.
Then Fang Bi looked at Aichi: "So you think the advance attack by these Koga ninjas is one of the signals that Imagawa Yoshimoto intends to start a war?"
"Yes." Ah Shi nodded with tears in his eyes: "My brother loves me the most. If those ninjas can hold me as a hostage, they can shake my brother's belief. Even if I take a step back, my brother still has no Heir, if Imagawa Yoshimoto succeeds in capturing Owari, then the child I will give birth to will be the legitimate successor of Owari, so my identity is very important."
"That's it." Fang Bie nodded: "Then let's find someone to ask?"
"Yes, it's time to ask someone." Yan Yu nodded and said.
Only Ah Shi was confused. There was no one to ask questions in the wilderness here.
While Ah Shi was in a daze, he saw Fang Bie walking directly behind a tree and dragging out an unconscious ninja in gray clothes. He didn't know when he was knocked unconscious and put there.
"What is this?" Ah Shi couldn't help but ask.
"One of the ninjas who ran away before. Only those who are willing to run away are more suitable to be tongues." Fang Bie simply explained. As for who caught and knocked out the ninja, Ah Shi was always with Fang Bie. Then of course it was Yan Yu's work.
"I heard that these ninjas are very strict in their speech." Ah Shi said in a low voice.
"So many torture instruments in this world are prepared for these strict-mouthed people." Fang Bie looked at Ah Shi and sighed.
Saying this, he stretched out his hand and patted the opponent's chest, and saw the ninja suddenly open his eyes.
After he opened his eyes, he first looked around. When he saw the three people standing watching him, he subconsciously planned to jump up and escape.
But the next moment he was about to move, he realized that there was no rope restraint on his body, but he couldn't even move a finger, and he could only pant in vain on the ground.
"The look in his eyes is so scary." Ah Shi said softly from the side.
"No, compared to the look in his eyes, I'm obviously more scary." Fang Bie said this, squatting down and reaching out to hold the other person's wrist, and then quietly injecting Qi into it.
Compared with the warriors of China, the vast majority of Japanese people do not know what true energy is. Of course, the ninjas in front of them do not have such magical things as chakra. Most of them have gone through arduous training to achieve physical fitness. It's just the ultimate. To be honest, if they can skillfully master the method of inhaling and breathing, they can cross a large staircase out of thin air. However, since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Japan has become increasingly closed-off, and martial arts is closer to closed doors. Although their samurai sword skills are indeed Yes, but if you encounter a master from the Central Plains who is skilled in Qi cultivation, it is often difficult to gain the upper hand.
At this time, after the unlucky Koga ninja grabbed his wrist, he immediately felt two poisonous snakes, one cold and one hot, crawling into his wrist. These two poisonous snakes were swimming along his blood vessels and energy. And they are desperately gnawing and destroying along the way. Even a master with a good foundation of Qi will be tired of dealing with the two different kinds of Qi, one yin and one yang, that are deliberately introduced into the body, and may even go crazy. What's more, This Japanese ninja doesn't even understand the basics of true energy.
Ah Shi only saw that as soon as Fang Bie held the opponent's wrist, the opponent's face began to change from green to red, and the muscles, bones, skin and flesh all over his body began to tremble and shrink strangely, as if he was suffering great pain out of thin air, but it was obvious that Fang Bie didn't even take out any torture instruments.
"What's wrong with him?" Ah Shi couldn't help but ask again.
All of this was basically beyond her comprehension.
"Can you understand it as sorcery?" Fang Bie said with a smile.
Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, these are no different from sorcery.
Don't say these are really annoying, even if you take a lighter or a flashlight, in front of people who have never seen these things, it will be no different from witchcraft.
Because even science is essentially a part of black magic. After all, we have so many professional scientists studying these black arts day and night.
"Sorcery?" Ah Shi still seemed to understand, but Fang Bie had already loosened his wrist, looked at the half-dead ninja opposite, and smiled: "I'll ask you an answer, if you want, just blink."
At this time, the Koga ninja was already in a state of great shock.
None of the inhuman training he had experienced before was geared toward this situation.
Moreover, none of the pain I had experienced before could compare to the pain I was experiencing now.
The two venomous snakes, one cold and one hot, swim along the blood vessels in the body. When they encounter the heart, they eat the heart. Under the heavy sky, the body's sensory sensitivity has been almost increased by several orders of magnitude. Such inhuman pain is almost equivalent to a spring and autumn at the snap of a finger. It really makes people feel that life is worse than death.
However, this was not a punishment that could lead to death, and he could clearly understand that he might not die after being tortured like this for a day and a night.
So when faced with the other party's inquiry, he almost hesitated for a moment and then blinked without hesitation.
Fang Bie nodded and hit two more acupuncture points on his chest: "Do you know her or not?"
Fang Bie pointed at Ah Shi.
The Koga ninja blinked before sighing: "You can speak now."
"I told you, can you just kill me?" Ninja Koga looked at Fang Bie and said.
"Do you want to live?" Fang Bie looked at him and asked.
"As a ninja, once caught, it is equivalent to death. What's more, if I have to reveal my employer's secrets, I will have no shame in living in this world." The ninja from Koga said.
"I'm just asking you if you want to live." Fang Bie looked at him and repeated.
"Killing you is just a piece of cake, but I am not used to killing people outside of my plan. If you are willing to live, then you can live."
"If you want to die, then I can satisfy you with difficulty." Fang Bie said seriously.
The ninja was stunned for a moment, then silent for a moment.
He looked at the tree-covered sky above him.
"I also have a wife and children, but being a ninja is one of the ways to survive in this troubled world."
Saying this, he looked at Ashi and nodded: "Of course I know the little princess of the Oda family. She is also an important target of our operation."
…
…
When all the interrogations were over, the released Koga ninja limped away and walked away. Aichi looked at Fang Bie: "So you just let him go?"
If anything, he was also one of the murderers of those retainers before.
"If you kill someone in return for your life, don't say one-on-one, one-on-two is enough for the people I killed before." The young man said quietly: "Since I promised him that as long as he tells what he knows, he can live, then I have no intention of breaking my promise."
"Honestly, I've heard this kind of thing a lot. I haven't seen many people who can keep their promises." Yan Yu said calmly, but a little bit narrowly.
"So he didn't trust me too much originally." Fang Bie smiled: "But overall, I am still a person who values his word and keeps his word, and if conditions permit, I am willing to maintain this persona."
"besides."
Fang Bie said this and faced Ashi: "Now that the basic information is clear, can we go to see Oda Nobunaga?"
Ah Shi was a little surprised by this development: "What did you say?"
"I said I planned to see your brother." Fang Bie said calmly: "Didn't you entrust us to send you back to Guye City before?"
"We can agree to this request."
"By the way, we also want to meet Oda Nobunaga himself, do you think it's okay?"
The boy's smile was calm.
