The great hero, from nine to five

Compared with Xun Wu and others, the Demon Cult had seized the opportunity and did not need to make a detour, so their people arrived in Kyoto first.

During this period of time, they have been planning the next step, and at the same time, they are also observing the situation in Kyoto.

Compared with Sisujiao, and even compared to their daimyo, the lives of the ministers and generals here in Kyoto are very ordinary, even miserable. It is obviously the largest and richest city in Yingzhou in theory, but the interior of Kyoto is very poor. It was desolate, and it seemed that there were not many living people.

The supplies in the city are very scarce, not to mention enjoyment, even a normal life is somewhat difficult for the people here, which makes Tianjiexing, who has always been pampered, very dissatisfied, and has been complaining for the past few days, despising this, hate that.

"Hmph—" Tian Jiexing couldn't help complaining a few more times, and the two subordinates hurriedly sat upright in fright, but although she was headstrong, she also knew that she should not mess around at critical moments, and she cursed and looked not far away. "Is that the son of King Wa? Who are you waiting for here?"

In Luoxi, in front of the city gate, Juegong Yaren brought his only retainer "Duan Bielai" and a group of royal soldiers, pacing back and forth with a look of anxiety and anticipation.

It looks like it's waiting for someone, something.

This made Tianjiexing couldn't help but feel a little bit worried.

Juegong Yaren has no power anymore, and he is also the son of the Yingzhou royal family. The person he came out to meet in person must not be a common hand, and might threaten their big event.

Therefore, although she was very irritable and impatient, she still observed patiently and secretly.

After a while, a group of men and women who were very plainly dressed and seemed to have nothing unusual came out from the outside.

They didn't look short in height, and they were obviously much taller than ordinary Japanese. Although they didn't have any luxurious clothes, Juegong Yaren immediately showed excitement and hurried up to them.

Tianjiexing couldn't help but stood up and poked his head to look over there.

There were two people in the group, one man and one woman. Although they were all dressed in ordinary clothes, Tian Jiexing could feel an indescribable "nobility" from that woman.

She didn't know how to describe it, since she was a child, she had this talent and ability, and she could clearly feel the qualities and temperament of other people—especially women.

Although this man and woman obviously disguised themselves, even deliberately pretending to be ugly, they still couldn't cover up many things. For example, the man was heroic, with sword eyebrows and stars, and full of righteousness; the woman was graceful, looking like a princess, very noble.

This made her grit her teeth.

Immediately, she leaned out of the window, towards the direction of the crowd, and softly called out: "Hey brother, be careful!"

On the other side, Xun Wugang, Jue Gong Yaren, and Duan Bie came to talk about the past for a while, when they heard Tian Jiexing's voice, turned slightly sideways, looked up, and saw Tian Jie leaning forward, showing an exquisite figure and a beautiful face star.

Accompanied by her voice, a piece of wood fell from nowhere in the air, as if it was used to support something.

Xun Wu retreated subconsciously, avoiding the wooden stick, and then looked at Tianjiexing.

"Oh... I'm sorry I almost hurt you." Tian Jiexing looked embarrassed.

Xun Wu put on an innocent look, smiled, and said to her, "It's all right."

Afterwards, with such a smile on his face, he looked at Juegong Yaren and Duan Bielai again: "You two, is there any place to stay in this city?"

He didn't pay attention to Tianjiexing any more, but left in a hurry with Juegong Yaren.

Tian Jiexing watched a group of people leave, changed from the slightly shy and rosy expression before to the ruthless and cold one before, and said to one of his subordinates: "Go down and pick it up."

"Yes!" The man didn't dare to breathe, and didn't dare to refute at all.

As for Tianjiexing, twisting her slender waist, she gently lay on her side by the window, and couldn't help but began to mutter in a low voice.

The woman just now didn't seem surprised or changed at all, she didn't seem to worry about the man at all; and the man, although he looked at her, was not affected by the charm...

Although he tried his best to pretend, he didn't show his lust at all...

A person who encounters his own charming skills but is not affected at all, whether he is powerful enough to be directly immune to this second-rate martial arts, or he is so determined that he can directly ignore them, is not so easy to deal with.

Thinking of this, she snorted again, and looked at another subordinate: "You go to the general to inquire about it!

Hmph... If it affects our plan, find a way to kill it! "

She is being punished now, but she doesn't dare to be as indulgent and arrogant as before. She still needs to discuss and ponder a little bit.

On the other side, Xun Wu and Shuang Manqiu, who were pretending to be identities, followed Juegong Yaren. After confirming that the people behind could not see and there were no followers, Xun Wu and the others stopped briefly in a hotel room step.

"Who was that woman just now?" Before Xun Wu Jue Gong Yaren needed help, Xun Wu first asked a seemingly irrelevant question.

"That woman?" Jue Gong Yaren was stunned for a while, not knowing what Xun Wu was talking about, "Are you talking about the girl before? It seems to be the owner of a musical show recently, and the business doesn't seem to be good—hehe, Xun Wu Could it be that the head catcher..."

Xun Wu glanced at him, but didn't say anything, Juegong Yaren immediately knew that he had made a mistake, so he honestly laughed and got away.

"That woman is extraordinary." At this moment, Duan Bielai, who had pondered for a moment and finished thinking, spoke.

After more than half a year of experience in Yingzhou, Duan Bielai no longer had the rashness of the previous martial arts, and because of the encounter with his biological father, his mentality has also undergone many changes, and now he has become much calmer. The strategist, now half a year has passed, has successfully helped the Japanese royal family regain a lot of things from the shogun, and has accumulated about 300 subordinates.

It's miserable, but it's okay, Duan Bielai has done his best.

However, in recent days, because the second prince presented the Japanese royal family with martial arts, the means he can use should become much more.

Although Duan Bielai has no way to fully grasp the capital, but since he came to Yingzhou, Jue Gong Yaren has successfully matched up with many nobles and nobles, and has arranged a lot of eyeliner in the capital, so he is no longer in a state of blind eyes.

"That woman came to the capital a few days ago. There are many ronin who followed her. I don't know how good their martial arts are, and I don't dare to let Brother Jue Gong take risks, so I can't be sure which ronin are as good as they are. sharp.

But one thing I am very sure of is that it is definitely not that simple for such a beauty, such a boss of a musical, to come to Kyoto with a lot of money and supplies...

The aristocrat may have treasures that can be mortgaged to her to watch the show, but it is definitely not her long-term posture. "

"And...someone reported that he had seen the astrology decorations of the Devil's Cult in this woman's shop."

Xun Wu nodded.

"In that case...no problem." Xun Wu thought for a moment, but didn't continue talking about this topic.

Although there was an exam experience with Juegong Yaren and Duan Bielai before, it was more than half a year ago after all, Duan Bielai was fine, Xun Wu was quite trustworthy, but Juegong Yaren and Xun Wu were not sure— — What's more, Xun Wu couldn't guarantee that there were no spies among the guards under Juegong Yaren, so he didn't continue to talk about it.

Xun Wu and his party disguised their identities and came to the capital. In addition to assisting the Japanese royal family to solve their difficulties, they also had to assist the two seniors of the opposite extreme sect. Before they fully understood the situation in Kyoto, he could not act rashly or jump to conclusions.

Fortunately, Xun Wu has a very powerful "trump card"——

Ji Lian'er.

Because it is completely different from other times, people in Yingzhou will not absolutely believe that "Where Xun Wu is, Miss Bai must be there" like the police in the capital. Therefore, Ji Lian'er has the opportunity to completely hide Get up, don't reveal her own existence - in order not to expose, she doesn't even come to meet with Zegong Masato and Duanbie.

Now, Xun Wu suspects that there is something wrong with the identity of the woman just now, and I believe that Ji Lian'er can also understand what he means, so he will naturally look for opportunities to search for clues.

As the saying goes, if you know yourself and your enemy, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles.

In this kind of place, intelligence is also a very important item.

At this time, the food at the hotel was finally served.

It is said to serve food, but in fact there is nothing there, except for rice, there is only salted fish and some soup.

Yingzhou had just lifted the "meat ban" before, coupled with years of wars, there is really no extra resources, this hotel is completely owned by Jue Gong Yaren, but even he can't get any delicacies However, as for the rare and exotic fruits on the land of Yingzhou, don't even think about it.

"Uh... the rough tea and light food made Mr. Xun suffer..." Juegong Yaren was a little embarrassed.

Even if it was Duan Bielai, he was shocked when he first came to Yingzhou. He wondered why the royal family had such a miserable life. He was really afraid that Xun Wu would not be satisfied with the food here—after all, when he was admitted to Juren , Masato Juegong set up a large table of wine and food directly.

"It's okay, Your Excellency King Qin, I just need to fill my stomach." Xun Wu had no objection to this.

When he first came to this world, let alone rice and salted fish, it would be nice to have something to eat. Most of the time, he had to be hungry and fight for justice, but it was much worse than this. He can still survive it. It was also one of the important reasons why he didn't care about wealth, food, clothing and enjoyment later on.

"I don't care... just can I increase this amount?" Shuang Manqiu has learned all kinds of skills, including guarding and protecting the princess when she is hungry. Although she likes to eat sunflower seeds and food, she doesn't It is a rigid requirement, unlike the princess who not only has to eat well, but also eats a lot.

It's just that she is a person who practiced the Yuan Devouring Devil Art after all, even if she didn't practice Devil Art, she couldn't eat such a little bit, because it would really cause problems.

"This is absolutely fine!" Masato Juegong breathed a sigh of relief.

When he was in the Central Plains, he was still very forthright, often spending a lot of money, regardless of other things and details, but when it came to his own territory, he was afraid that he would not do well enough and lose the face of their royal family.

"Your Excellency, let me tell you first, what is it that you called us to come?" Xun Wu brought the topic back.

Juegong Yaren couldn't help being a little embarrassed when he heard Xun Wu's words, and then said very embarrassedly: "I don't know..."

"I don't know!?" Shuang Manqiu was taken aback.

Didn't know to call us here! ?

Shuang Manqiu felt incredible!

Xun Wu looked at Duan Bielai.

He also didn't count on Jue Gong Yaren, a person who put all his mind on practicing kung fu, didn't have much ability to restrain his subordinates, and was a bit stupid himself from time to time.

After all, Juegong Yaren was the one who could comment on the information he had collected with great difficulty in the township examination venue. I was afraid that the group of candidates would not remember him, and Xun Wu would never be able to count on him.

Compared to him, Duan Bielai, the son brought out by Duan Long himself, is more worthy of inquiry.

Sure enough, Duan Bielai lived up to everyone's expectations, pondered for a while, considered his words, and said to Xun Wu: "If there are no accidents, the shogun should have formed an alliance with the Demon Cult.

My informant came to report that the general has reached an agreement with Xuanwu Xingjun. After completing their respective major events in the future, they will declare Sisu Cult as the state religion of Yingzhou! "

"Boom—" he was very angry.

Sisujiao!

Demon Cult!

The root of all evils in the Central Plains and Yingzhou, the source of countless family sufferings, everyone in the Central Plains wants to kill clean things, even if he becomes Juegong Yaren's staff and works for the people of Yingzhou, he absolutely does not want to see such things things happen.

Impossible!

Xun Wu nodded slightly.

Not surprisingly, he was already prepared for this.

"What about the specifics?" Xun Wu continued to ask, "I can guess some of the so-called major events of the Demon Cult. It must be a life-and-death fight with their names—but what about the general?

I remember that the current shogun's surname is Aso, that is, General Aso, right?What is he trying to do, you know? "

Duan Bielai shook his head helplessly: "I'm sorry, Catcher Xun... At present, these are the best I can do."

Juegong Yaren had no manpower, and secondly, he had no capable ministers. He tried to use the relationship between the royal family and the nobles, and finally pulled out a team that was not good, but could be transferred anyway. Before, he couldn't even speak Yingzhou dialect.

"It's okay." Xun Wu shook his head, "It's already very powerful to be able to act reluctantly in this kind of place, and even deliver news for General Man.

What's more, the shogun and Xuanwu Xingjun have secret talks, and it is very difficult for you to get news.

Although I don't know what they are going to do, at least they have a direction.

It's better to have a direction than a headless chicken..."

At least not from the beginning of the investigation, Xun Wu felt much more relaxed.After asking some details again, Xun Wu said, "By the way, do you know about the Duoji Gate? There should be two seniors from the Duoji Gate who are here to file a lawsuit."

"Ah!? I know that—" Masato Juemiya immediately said, "That incident just happened when I returned to Kyoto. I also thought about resolving the matter between the two of you with Brother Duan, but the general has been stuck... "

"So that's how it is..." Xun Wu roughly understood the situation, "Can you take me to meet the two of you?"
