C634 Only the enemy know you best (1/2)
Although the journey back to Japan from Great Qing Province seemed dangerous, under the effects of the sharp tool of money, all the obstacles were reduced to nothing.
However, China was simply too big, and it was difficult for anyone to seal off all the tunnels. After buying through a few officials of the different places, the Hidden Fog Kid was able to easily break away from Xiao Letian's blockade.
The road ahead became much easier. During the time that the had been doing business with Ci Xi, he had amassed a lot of wealth, and just the amount of wealth that he had ambushed and extorted from dozens of wealthy merchants, and it had only taken his a few months to go from a pauper to a hundred thousand.
The Hidden Fog Kid had opened a path from the capital all the way to Zhejiang, and then from Zhejiang, she switched ships and headed north to Japan. In just a fraction of a hundred thousand silver, she had fled back to the Nine Prefectures with her trusted aides.
When they reached the Nine Regions, the Hidden Fog Kid immediately contacted the Ninja System of the Tokugawa. Under their protection, they headed north all the way until the beginning of the new year.
However, everything had changed. Tokugawa Mao had died in the second war in the Changzhou City, the internal affairs of the New Selection Group had changed drastically, and the people inside the New Selection Group were overflowing with anger. Even in the streets of the River City, there were despicable citizens who dared to publicly talk about the outrageous ways of the Emperor returning to governance.
Hidden Fog Kid was truly a loyal subject of the Tokugawa, her heart was as sharp as a blade when she saw the Mu Clan's despondent look. When she entered the Jiang Clan, she didn't have time to rest for the day and returned to the River City to pay her respects to Tokugawa Yoshinobu.
Tokugawa Yoshinobu initially did not want to see the unknown female ninja, but when he heard that the woman returned from the Great Qing, and that he knew all of Xiao Letian's background, he was shocked and immediately sent orders to receive the legendary female ninja.
Hidden Fog Kid was so excited that she was about to go crazy, she had never thought of being able to have the honor of being personally received by the general in Heaven's Tower, even if it was the most powerful group of ninjas, they could only hide on the ceiling and silently listen to their master's orders.
To be able to jump down from the ceiling due to Master's grace, and to be able to receive an audience with Master on the tatami, this was already the greatest honor that a Ninja could receive. And today, she was unexpectedly able to receive the audience with a general on the Heaven's Tower.
”Tokugawa's External Narcissism, New Selection Group Group Leader of the Nine Prefectures, Hidden Fog Kid, greets Lord General …” Hidden Fog Kid laid on the tatami, trembling, and didn't dare to move an inch.
Tokugawa Yoshinobu stared deadly at Hidden Fog Kid, the sake wine cup in his hand that was like a plate was filled with milky white turbid wine, while another warrior in front of him was fanning the air and brushing the sauce for the barbecue, causing the air to be filled with the rich aroma of barbecue.
Time passed minute by minute, the Japanese people liked to use their own time to pressure their subordinates, the more they ignored their subordinates, the more uncertain they became in their hearts, the stronger the pressure made Hidden Fog Kid break out in cold sweat.
”Mm …” I heard you just came back from Qingguo? ” Tokugawa Yoshinobu said coldly.
Hidden Fog Kid felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off of her shoulders, ”Yes, I've just returned, and am willing to report all of the information that Great Qing and Xiao Letian have gathered to Lord General …”
Then, the Hidden Fog Kid started from the day Xiao Letian was captured, all the way until the day she entered the Ryukyu, all the way until the new army entering Beijing.
She explained in great detail, causing Tokugawa Yoshinobu to be extremely engrossed in what she was saying. The legendary experience of the Hidden Fog Kid was enough to write a book, the two servants, Xiao Xing, forgot to pour the wine, and the meat was roasted.
Hidden Fog Kid talked from noon until the sky turned dark. When people saw the light from the lamps, they realized that the fire in the charcoal stove had long been extinguished.
How could the Japan ignore the Ryukyu, how could they ignore Xiao Letian's existence, especially now that the elite in Japan knew about Xiao Letian's heroic expedition to Europa. In that era, any Asian who could wrestle with the foreigners could already be considered a hero, not to mention that Xiao Letian had actually won the Poo War.
At this time, the inside of the Japan was still the structure of the Middle Ancient World, the people's fear of the west had not receded. Other than admiring Xiao Letian's actions, the only thing left was fear.
Looking at the flickering candle light, Tokugawa Yoshinobu coldly said, ”What you mean is, you gave up the position of Qing Nation's guard, just so that you could serve Tokugawa?”
”Ha …” Hidden Fog Kid lowered her head and said.
”Ba Ga …” Tokugawa Yoshinobu suddenly flew into a rage and kicked over the wine bottle, taking out his Katana, he slashed at the Hidden Fog Kid and said, ”I, your servant, would dare lie to me! ”Kill …”
The general roared, and then all the doors around him opened, and Xiao Xing and his men with blades rushed in and shouted together, ”Kill!” More than ten Katana whizzed towards Hidden Fog Kid.
