"A family with real power?" Ishibu looked at Shanqiang, "Are you using tiger skin as a banner?"
"No, no! It's true. Master has always told us this."
"Tell you, can they make the decision in the Japanese country?" Seeing Shan Qiang nodding, Ishibu sneered, "Although we don't have much contact with the Japanese people, and we don't know much about the Japanese country, we basically We still know a little bit about the situation. The Japanese country is currently in the midst of a melee between major nobles and families. Of course, this kind of nobles and families, which sounds nicer, their so-called nobles and families are even bigger than Yiqing. Are they not comparable to those nobles in the mansion? Not to mention others, Master Hei's family..." He turned to look at Hei Lu'er, "I'm afraid it is much bigger than those Japanese nobles?"
"Of course!" Hei Lu'er nodded, "Compared to the Japanese themselves, the power of those nobles is not as great as that of pirates who are active at sea all year round and rob merchant ships. What kind of control of real power is completely It’s just an act to put money on your face, don’t take it seriously.”
"That's right." Ishibu nodded, "And the Japanese country is currently in the midst of a melee among the nobles. Even if your master's family controls real power, it is in its own fief, right? That fiefdom... is as big as Yiqing Mansion. "?" Seeing Shan Qiang's face turn pale again, he sneered, "At this point, you still want to muddle through and not tell the truth. Mr. Dashan, I admire your courage. You He is really dedicated to working for them."
"No, no, no!" Shan Qiang shook his head crazily, "You misunderstood, I am really..."
"You have really wronged him this time. He should really not know the situation in Japan. After all, he has been trapped in a fixed place since he was a child. Naturally, he will believe whatever his master says." Wu Shudan came over, held Ishibu's shoulders, and patted him twice, "He has never been to our country, and he didn't really grow up there. Naturally, he won't know the situation in Japan as well as we do. Naturally, he won't know the situation in Japan as well as we do." He knows how his master deceived these poor little pawns. Their master..." He sighed, "I'm afraid he is not very happy to stay in his so-called territory. After all, their life there is not as ordinary as ours. Where are the people!"
"What you said is true. They are too poor and have too few supplies. They have nothing to eat, nothing to drink, and nothing to wear. It would be better to live in the Kingdom of Jin and become a bandit. ." Ishibu felt that what Wu Shudan said was acceptable to him, "What's more, Mr. Dashan and Mr. Xiaoshan are just tools in the hands of the Japanese. They can be used to make us kill each other. They instigate the relationship between Jin, Xia and Liao. Since they are tools, they don’t need to know too much and understand too much.”
"That's what I mean." Wu Shudan nodded, "For the Japanese, there is no good strong man, there are all kinds of strong men like Ou Qiang, Qian Qiang, Sun Qiang, they are just pawns, it doesn't matter. "
"Okay, stop talking. Look at Mr. Dashan's expression, how ugly it is." Ishibu patted the Wushu Pill and raised his chin towards Shanqiang, "Mr. Dashan, there are some things that you don't need to take too seriously!"
"..." Shanqiang looked at the two people in front of him and didn't know how to answer them, so he could only remain silent.
"Forget it, this question is over." Ishibu waved his hand, "Now we officially start, I will ask, you will answer, think about it before answering, otherwise... you know."
"good!"
"What is the surname of your master's family?"
"Hexia." Shanqiang looked at Ishibu and then Wushu Dan, "The owner is the cousin and only cousin of the current head of the family in Hexia. He is fifty-five years old this year. From the time we can remember, Just keep following him.”
"Take your time, don't say too much at once." Ishibu waved his hand, turned to look at Arou who was in charge of recording, and saw her nodding towards him, and continued to ask, "He is the only one in the family head of Hexia. His cousin? In other words, it’s possible that he wasn’t in the Kingdom of Jin from the beginning, right?”
"Then I don't know!" Shan Qiang shook his head, "The head of the family is two rounds older than us. I'm not sure whether he has always been here."
"Okay!" Ishibu nodded, "Next question, where is your home base?"
"Our hometown, no, the place we live in actually does not belong to the Jin Kingdom, nor does it belong to the Xia Kingdom, and it has nothing to do with the Liao Kingdom. It is at the junction of Jin and Xia, deep in the mountains thirty miles away from Qilin Pass . There are almost no people living near that mountain, because thirty years ago, it was occupied by grassroots bandits from all sides. The people who lived nearby moved away because they could not bear the harassment, and those who could not move were moved away. I became associated with the grass bandits. Later, Xia and Jin both sent people to encircle and suppress it. As the number of encirclement and suppression increased, the number of grass bandits gradually decreased, and the place was completely abandoned, and was later occupied by our master. "
"Wait a minute!" Wu Shudan raised his hand and interrupted Shan Qiang, "You said that place was originally a place where grass bandits gathered. Later, because the grass bandits disappeared, it was occupied by you. This means that , you didn’t live there before, right?”
"That's what it means."
"Then where did you live before?"
"This..." Shanqiang paused, "I'm not sure. I've heard the elders in the clan say it several times. It's said that they move every few decades, but it's just a rumor, and it's not really true. I have experienced it. Anyway, our brothers have been living in that deep mountain since we were young and have not moved anywhere. We are older than us and about the same age as the owner, and we have never said anything about moving. However, what is this choice? As a place of life, it is not something we can know, only the owner himself knows it. Others don’t know where they will live until they move and actually arrive at a new residence."
"Oh I see."
Wushudan glanced at Ishibu, then turned to look at Apiao who was thoughtful about Shanqiang's words, and sighed softly. No wonder they can't find this mysterious organization, and they can't catch it. Where exactly are they? It always feels like they appear and then disappear. It turns out that they have changed places after many years. By the time they realize it and look for this organization, they have already fled.
Ah Piao and Hei Lu'er are thinking about the same thing as Wu Shu Dan, which explains why every time they try to get the tail of that mysterious organization, the other party has already left the building. . They failed again and again, so they felt very fearful. The Xia Emperor, Jin King, and Liao King in the past dynasties regarded this mysterious organization as a serious problem.
However, they could also get some crucial information from Shan Qiang's words, which is that every place this mysterious organization chooses to stay is mostly in unconcerned areas, mostly in deep mountains. Usually such places are easy to defend. It is difficult to attack, and there are many places to hide. If you don't know the terrain well, and if you don't have internal response, it will be difficult to catch them all.
Wu Shudan turned his head and stared at Shan Qiang for a long time without saying anything. He almost gave Shan Qiang a bad look. He didn't know how he offended this person.
"What's wrong?" Ishibu glanced at Wu Shudan, who was suddenly in a low mood, and stretched out his hand to pinch his arm. "Are you suddenly unhappy? Did he say something wrong? Or was it wrong?"
"I'm not unhappy, and it's not his problem, just a little sigh." Wu Shudan shook his head and said softly, "Don't you think their method of moving looks familiar? The real cunning rabbit has three holes. ”
"It's better than us, isn't it? It's a bit embarrassing, isn't it?" Ishibu couldn't laugh or cry, ""It won't happen.
"Isn't it embarrassing? We might as well be thieves. Thinking about it makes me panic."
Ishibu shook his head helplessly, reached out and pinched Wu Shudan's arm, and said, "There is nothing to be ashamed of, and there is nothing to panic about. They are just a group of rats who can only live in the gutter and cannot see the light. They must not Changing places infrequently, they have to hide their whereabouts to prevent themselves from being exposed to the broad daylight. Once they are exposed, there is only a dead end. Therefore, they may not know what the three cunning rabbit holes are at all, and they just hide instinctively. "
"Maybe..." Wu Shudan nodded, "You are right."
"That's how it is." Ishibu smiled and looked at Shanqiang, "You said you have always lived in a mountain. What is the name of that mountain? Can you draw the specific location?"
"That mountain... the locals called it Cao Bandit Mountain. Later, the grass bandits were wiped out, but the name remained unchanged." Seeing the expressions of disgust on the faces of Ishibu and Wu Shudan, he smiled helplessly, "There is nothing I can do about that place. It is unattended, whether it is the Qilin Pass of the Jin Kingdom or the Heifeng Pass of the Xia Kingdom. The reason why they clean up the grass bandits in that place is because they affect the people at the respective border gates and the security of the border gates. Clean them up. It will naturally go away and will not stay. Therefore, the name of this mountain has not changed, and it has been passed down like this."
"This is easy to remember. There is one question I haven't answered yet. Can you draw it?"
"It can be drawn." Shan Qiang nodded, "If you need it, the terrain inside can also be drawn. However, what I don't know is the location of the master's activities."
"How is that possible? Haven't you been following him?"
"When he needs us, he will send someone to summon us, and we must go to his location blindfolded. We don't know which yard or house he is in until we see him in person. However, in most cases, It's in the courtyard, and with our status, we're not even allowed to enter the house."
