C120 (2/2)
After a series of clicks, the two figures clashed in the stream. Under the moonlight, they carefully looked at each other. ”Nani?” You are the Hidden Fog Kid? ”You tricked me so much …”
E Balang attacked female ninja like a madman, but unfortunately, E Balang's sword techniques were not as suited for battles as ninja arts, after a few flashes, he was kicked to the ground by Hidden Fog Kid, the shuriken at his throat.
”Octagon, you stupid thing, do you want to attract the invitees? ”Hurry up and shut up …” Hidden Fog Kid sat beside E Balang with a pale face: ”You and I are both dogs that have lost our homes now, let's not bother with those things, I only listened to the orders of others …”
Hidden Fog Kid still had some jerky on him, so the two who shared the same fate ate it all. They leaned on the rock and slowly gathered their strength.
”Octagon...” What's your next plan? ”
”Plan?” ”It's good enough to be able to survive. I'm prepared to hide in the mountains for a while, and after the limelight has passed, I'll return to my island. My home is in the immortal estate, so let's go back and live incognito …”
Hidden Fog Kid sneered and said, ”Concealed identity? You want to go back home and be a commoner? Didn't you think that being the head of the underworld, drinking the most beautiful wine and playing with the most beautiful women in Naha Harbor, you would earn all the foreign money in the world?
”Go back to this island by yourself. All the territories there are owned by their masters, and every inch of land is guarded by the Lord's soldiers. Do you really think that you can lay down another estate? Would the various lords agree? ”
Hidden Fog Kid's reprimand made E Balang lower his head and keep silent, ”Then what do we do? We can't just wait here to die. Even the army led by Huashan Liyuan was defeated, what hope do we have? ”Don't even mention me, just look at yourself. A defeated ninja is no match for a warrior. Furthermore, that Xiao fellow definitely hates you very much. You are much more dangerous than me …”
Maybe it was because of female ninja's sore spot, that Hidden Fog Kid became silent, but after a short moment, Hidden Fog Kid grabbed onto E Balang's wrist, ”We have yet to reach the end of the road, I still have a way. As long as you follow me, I can guarantee that when you return to Japan, you will obtain the Mu Clan's prize, and may even be accepted as a warrior by Tokugawa.”
”Nani?” Don't tell me you are crazy, the Tokugawa wants us? Were you bemused by the fire last night … ”
”I am not joking. Have you heard of the New Selection Group?”
”The capital's New Selection Group? Are they the New Selection Group s who specially assassinated reformist and Inverted Pie? ”How did you get in touch with them …”
It was unknown what Hidden Fog Kid and E Balang were talking about in the night wind, but the only sound that could be heard was the sound of waves hitting against reefs, repeating over and over again.
Normally, scissor boat would need five to six days to travel from Naha Harbor to Tanggu Port. If the wind and wind direction allowed it, then they should be able to reach Tanggu Port within four days if they travel at their highest speed. The distance from [Tyrant] to Shanghai was much closer. The fastest scissor boat would only be able to see the mouth of the Huangpu River in a day and a half.
What Xiao Letian did not know was that while the scissor boat he hired was rushing towards the Tanggu to report, there was another British merchant ship that had stealthily left for the west. Its target was Shanghai, which was where the foreigners gathered.
Xiao Letian's greatest crisis was about to arrive, this British ship would definitely deliver the information to Shanghai, thus letting the people of the Western Powers know of the war. The news would also quickly spread across the entire field, whether it was the influence of the Xiang Army or the Qing Liu Empire, both would be known to everyone in the Forbidden City as's victory over the Japanese.
A tree would be destroyed by the wind, Xiao Letian was not a tree would be destroyed by a forest, he was just too arrogant. Was there anything in the entire Great Qing more tormenting than him? No matter how powerful Ceng Guofan was, it would take all of his strength to defeat him. No matter how boastful Qing Dynasty's Eight Banners were, they were just a bunch of useless trash in front of him.
Only Xiao Letian, along with a few dozen of the caravan guards, was actually able to stir up the hundred thousand Chinese people of Ba Manchu City fighting the Japanese to their deaths. Not only that, he had even won in the end. If this wasn't face-smacking, what else could it be?
”The more capable the Chinese are, the more terrified the Manchu dynasty Palace will be. If the foreign races want to rule over the huge Han race, all of them will be trembling with fear, as though they were treading on thin ice. Xiao Letian, Xiao Letian, I wonder if you can survive this crisis? ”I'm really looking forward to it …”
On a cold night, the sleepless Sakamoto Ryoma muttered to the moon. And beside him was the Shimadzu Family's Ninja, Big Ghost Fog.
”Big ghost, you have to remember that from today onwards, we have to be humble, especially in front of the foreigners. We have to fully express our fear and respect towards Xiao Letian, and help him raise his prestige. Yes, the higher the better. We will make Xiao Letian the king of this city! ”
