Although Changsheng was injured, he never stopped at all along the way. He rode fast all the way. The little time he finally gained was wasted by the recent changes. According to time calculation, the Japanese pirates who were led back to Japan should be at this time. They were already on their way back. If the Japanese pirates reacted quickly enough, they might have returned by now.
However, Changsheng's speedy journey was not just to seize the opportunity with the Japanese pirates. He also wanted to get to Shenzhou as soon as possible. As long as his speed was fast enough and the delay on the road was small enough, he could conceal that he had been stranded here all night. fact, so that the big head and others would not be curious about what he did during the night he was stranded.
Although the sweaty horse can run long distances, it also needs to rest in the middle, but Black Master does not need it. It contains corpse poison in its body. Under the influence of corpse poison, its body temperature will not rise no matter how long it runs.
Changsheng arrived in Shenzhou early the next morning. When he arrived in Shenzhou, Datou and others had not arrived yet. It was not that Datou and others were delayed on the way, but that the sweaty horse could only run on the road, and with the help of his spiritual energy, The black master can fly across the sky and climb over mountains and ridges.
After the city gate opened, Changsheng led his horse into the city and found a blacksmith shop to replace the horseshoes for Young Master Hei. Then he had a quick bite to eat on the street. After finishing all these, he returned to the south gate and rested at the edge of the woods outside the city to wait.
Because it is located in the northeastern border, the temperature in Shenzhou is much lower than that in Hanzhong. Fortunately, the weather is not bad today. Changsheng leaned against the big tree and closed his eyes to relax. After relaxing, he soon fell asleep.
Just when Changsheng was about to fall asleep, the rapid sound of horse hooves came from the road to the south. Changsheng was very familiar with sweaty horses. Just by hearing the sound of horse hooves, he knew that the person coming was not the big head.
Due to injuries on his body and lack of rest in recent days, Chang Sheng was very tired at this time. He didn't even bother to open his eyes when he heard the sound of horse hooves. However, after the sound of horse hooves gradually got closer, he still managed to gather his energy and glance up.
Unexpectedly, at a glance, I unexpectedly discovered that Shi Xuanming was sitting on the back of the black horse that appeared first.
Seeing Shi Xuanming, Changsheng immediately stood up with his arms raised. Just as he was about to wave to call Shi Xuanming, he suddenly realized that something was not right. It was not that something was wrong with Shi Xuanming, but that something was wrong with Shi Xuanming's mount. Although the black horse was also It's a majestic horse, but it's not a bloody horse.
Just when Chang Sheng was puzzled, Yang Kai and Yu Yi came on horseback. Although the two of them were riding black horses, they were not sweaty horses.
Since he had been dozing before, Changsheng was not very awake at the moment, and he did not realize what happened for a while. However, the two people who appeared next made him furious and lost all sleep, because the last dark horse's There were two people sitting on the horse, one was a short man with a big head, and the other turned out to be himself.
Changsheng had encountered a similar situation before. On that day, Japanese pirates pretended to be himself and Datou and sneaked into Zhang Shan's military camp with evil intentions. Fortunately, he happened to go to the military camp, bumped into and exposed them. The five people who appeared this time were undoubtedly Japanese pirates again. Pretend.
Changsheng originally wanted to say hello to them, but now that he found out that they were all fake, he lowered his hand and held the knife, wanting to step forward and take action.
However, after a brief pause, Changsheng changed his mind and retreated a few feet, ducking behind a tree.
Young Master Hei was very smart. When he saw him disappearing into the forest, he immediately followed him.
The five Japanese pirates who pretended to be Changsheng and others rode forward and rushed towards the city gate. Because they never turned around and looked back, they never found Changsheng hiding in the woods.
After the other party passed through the city gate and entered the city, Changsheng came out of his hiding place. The reason why he was not in a hurry to take action was not because he was afraid of the large number of people on the other side, but because he couldn't figure out why the other party wanted to impersonate him, Datou and others. What's more, There were five people on the other side. After taking action, he was not sure that he would keep all five of them. If one or two of them escaped, the news would definitely leak out.
After pondering, Changsheng stretched his left hand, popped out the talisman paper from his sleeve, quickly drew an invisibility talisman, then attached it to himself to hide his body, and followed the five enemies into the city.
After the five enemy troops entered the city, they did not rein in their horses and slow down. Instead, they accelerated their horses and looked north.
Just when Changsheng mistakenly thought that they were going to pass through the city, the five people suddenly turned from the crossroads in the city and headed east.
Chang Sheng used the Wind Chasing Ghost Step to follow closely behind him, following him east through the streets and alleys until he stopped at a secluded inn.
Seeing the five people entering the inn, Chang Sheng also followed them in. These five Japanese pirates had come straight towards this inn before, which shows that this was not their first time here.
After the five people entered the inn, the man pretending to be Changsheng chatted with the innkeeper who came up and asked if there were enough vacancies in the inn. After receiving a positive answer, he asked for five guest rooms, and then ordered the clerk to take good care of their horses.
Changsheng originally thought that the owner and the waiter of this inn should know these five people, but based on the demeanor and tone of the two parties talking, the owner and the waiter did not know them. Since they did not know each other, it means that these five people are probably the first This time, but there is another possibility, that is, these five people were not like this when they came last time.
The five people must have come from far away, and they were very tired. After checking into the shop, they immediately ordered the waiters to prepare meals for them. The person who spoke was the person pretending to be immortal. Not only did his appearance and appearance look like the real one, but his words and deeds were also 70-80% similar. , even the tone of voice is exactly the same as him.
While waiting for the food to be served, several people kept talking in low voices. Since their voices were kept very low and they were afraid of getting too close to each other for fear that the other party would notice, Chang Sheng could not hear the conversation clearly and vaguely. , intermittently.
First of all, it was confirmed that the five people were speaking Japanese when they talked, which also confirmed his guess that the five people pretending to be them were all Japanese pirates.
Similar disguises have been used to impersonate Japanese pirates more than once before. Kana Hattori once pretended to be Zhang Mo and tried to assassinate him, while Masao Hattori pretended to be him and sneaked into the military camp to try to harm the Zhang Shan brothers and sisters. The Japanese pirates used disguises twice before. They all ended in failure. The Japanese pirates should know that they could not deceive them by repeating their old tricks. What's more, Shenzhou is located in the northeast and is very remote. What is the purpose of the Japanese pirates impersonating the five of them here?
With doubts in his heart, Chang Sheng held his breath and listened carefully. Even so, his listening was still incoherent. He could only vaguely hear the words "joints, only success, not in Middle Earth, we don't have a second chance," etc. statement.
Through scattered words, Changsheng was able to get two important pieces of information. One was who the five Japanese pirates were going to meet next, and then do something very important together. Second, the seven major families who were deceived by them before and returned to Japan probably haven't come back yet. Without the help of the seven major families, they are not very confident in what they will do next.
Since the invisibility talisman could only last half a stick of incense, Chang Sheng did not dare to stay for a long time. Just when he was about to leave, the leader said something. Since he did not lower his voice deliberately, he listened. Really, what this person said was, 'Let's take a rest after dinner and set off at the right time. We must rush there before the third watch. '
Hearing this person's words, Changsheng knew that they would not leave before the time was up, so he retreated quietly and prepared to leave.
At this moment, the dwarf pretending to be a big-headed man left his seat and stood up, "I'm going to relieve myself, who wants to go with me?"
Among the Japanese pirates, there was a Hattori family who was good at disguise. Not only could they disguise themselves, but they could also help others disguise themselves. However, changing the appearance was easy, but changing the height was very difficult. Among the Japanese pirates, only those who could change their height had learned the bone-shrinking technique. Sasaki.
Changsheng had been in contact with Sasaki many times before and was quite familiar with his voice. Although this person's voice sounded like a big head, but based on the tail tone, he could still tell that this person was most likely the coward Sasaki.
Seeing that no one got up, the dwarf went to the backyard alone.
Seeing this, Changsheng hurriedly bypassed the lobby, sneaked into the backyard through the stables behind the house...
