Creed of the heavens

With the death of the abbot of Xianfeng Temple and a large number of monks possessing insects, the Luanbo people domesticated by Xianfeng Temple lost their masters and fell into civil strife and confusion for a while.

Some Luanbo people advocated adapting to the situation and completely surrendering to the inner government.

The other part hopes to admit their mistakes to the Weiming country and surrender, and continue to protect their hometown.

The two factions each had their followers to support them, and finally fought against each other.

After the wolf woke up from the pain of the broken arm, he immediately started to act. He searched the castle town of Ashina and the dungeon, and finally found Kuro in the castle tower overnight.

After Yixin fell ill, most of the affairs of the Weiming country were backlogged on Xianichiro, coupled with the aggressive military power of the inner government and the heavy task of finding the source of the source of water, it was impossible for Xianichiro to guard Kuro all the time.

When the wolf arrived at the castle tower, Genichiro had just left Weiming Castle for the Valley of the Fallen, and the two who had just experienced a life-and-death battle happened to be staggered.

After some consideration, Kuro finally decided to take out the treasure of Xianfeng Temple and hand it over to Genichiro as the military expenditure of the Weiming country.

The wolf who received the order did not rest for a moment, and rushed to Xianfeng Temple non-stop to search for the place where Lu Xiao buried the treasure.

The treasure buried by Lu Xiao is actually located in the cave on the west side of the main hall. During the search for the treasure, the wolf accidentally received a call from Bianruo Yuzi.

The two sides did not meet directly, Bianruo Yuzi transmitted sound through the portrait of Buddha, and entrusted the wolf to pass a message to Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao roughly guessed about Bian Ruo Yuzi's intentions, and it should be related to the Yonglvjing that he gave to the other party before.

"Da da"

Footsteps suddenly came from the upper and lower floors of the Tianshou. In Lu Xiao's eagle-eyed vision, the color of this person's logo was actually blue and red.

What kind of weird color is this?

A familiar boy's voice sounded from outside the door: "Master Kuro, Heiraroku in Shimoyama, Master Genichiro asked me to thank you for donating military expenses."

Uh I see.

Lu Xiao smiled wryly and rubbed between her eyebrows, no wonder it was such a strange color.

Heiroku Yamauchi was swayed by Lu Xiao before, and he would definitely feel dissatisfied with him, but now that Genichiro and Lu Xiao have no direct conflict, Heiroku Yamauchi, who is in a complicated mood, can only bury his dissatisfaction in his heart.

Kuro motioned for the wolf to invite Yamauchi Heiroku into the room, and the moment Shanuchi looked up with a subdued surname, he saw Lu Xiao standing aside.

"You! Why are you here?"

Lu Xiao spread her hands helplessly: "Don't get excited, I'm Kuro's guest clerk, and I'm helping him with some secret matters. Genichiro is also very clear about this, and I have no conflict of interest with you."

"Humph!"

Shanuchi's attitude towards Lu Xiao is very bad, but Lu Xiao doesn't care about it, after all, there is a reason for the incident.

In terms of age, Yamauchi is not much older than Kuro, at most 1213 years old.

Lu Xiao looked thoughtfully at Yamauchi who was still aggrieved, and an idea suddenly popped up in his mind.

At this time, the system also stepped in: "According to the host's choice in this world, the side mission is triggered."

"Sub-task: Guard Weiming."

"Ensure that Weiming Country blocks the invasion of the Inner Palace before the world mission is completed. This mission is a floating reward mechanism. The number of areas that Weiming Country is captured will affect the final evaluation of the mission and the quality of the rewards given."

The side missions released by the system strengthened Lu Xiao's mind. Now that he has already offered to help, he should help him to the end, as there are mission rewards to be won at the end.

The gap between Weiming Kingdom and the Neifu is in all aspects. From the training of soldiers, the number of people, morale, to the quality of weapons and equipment, food and material reserves, etc., the two sides are not at the same level.

Morale, supplies, and food can be compensated by the treasures seized from Xianfeng Temple. Once the experiment of the insect possessor is successful, the soldiers' training speed will no longer be a problem, but the disadvantage of numbers cannot be easily compensated.

For the time being, we can rely on Weiming Country's dangerous terrain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, to barely block the attack of the Inner Palace, but this is before the Inner Palace has launched a full-scale attack.

The solitary shadows who sneaked into the central area of ​​Weiming City forced Yixin, who was seriously ill, to fight the enemy himself. This shows how dangerous Weiming, who is barely stable on the surface, is secretly.

After tentatively reaching a consensus, Genichiro and Yishin's subordinates reorganized their respective Jiying people, which made up for the lack of ninja power in the Weiming country to a certain extent, but this was obviously not enough.

"Shanuchi, how many people with such a famous family name do you have? Do you want to help guard Wei's name?"

Yamauchi snorted displeasedly: "It's a meaningless question. We are willing to dedicate everything to our motherland, but the Patriarchs don't think it's time for us to fight yet."

Yongzhen, who had been listening silently, explained: "The head of Weiming's famous family hopes to rely on his own sacrifice to preserve the hope of the next generation. It will not harm the family."

This situation is actually very common, and it is not limited to the Warring States period of Japan.

Conquering a place always requires someone to govern it. The local rich family who is familiar with the local situation is naturally the most suitable candidate. The conqueror usually promises them benefits to give up their old master and turn their allegiance to themselves.

The only family that really needs to worry about being exterminated is the family of the head of a country, which is called the daimyo family in Japan.

Out of the idea of ​​preserving the survivability of the family, this approach is understandable, and Lu Xiao does not intend to force Wei Ming's wealthy family to give up everything and stand by Genichiro's side, but

"Yamauchi, judging from your name, you shouldn't be the eldest son of the family, right?"

Yamauchi: "That's right, I am my father's sixth child, that's why I was sent to Mr. Genichiro as a surname."

The eldest son of a big family needs to learn all kinds of knowledge needed to inherit the family from an early age. Except for a few cases, most of the minor surnames are held by the family's bastard or second son.

The clever Yongzhen guessed Lu Xiao's purpose through Lu Xiao's directional questions, and asked with a look of surprise on his face: "Could it be that you want to gather the eldest sons of a big family named Wei to form a group?" A youth army?"

"Not exactly correct."

Lu Xiao looked at the bewildered Shanuchi and said, "Now Wei Ming is at a critical moment of life and death, and even the young men of the peasant family have been drawn down. It is obviously impossible to recruit soldiers from the people."

"Since this is the case, the only sources of soldiers that can be considered are half-grown teenagers, and some of them are not limited to big families."

"Of course, I don't intend to let these children who have not yet grown up go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. It is to push them into the fire pit of the battlefield to die. I just hope that I can train them to be Weiming's eyeliner and alleviate the pain that Jiying people face. Espionage pressure."

This is not the practice of ninjas, but the code of conduct of assassins.

To put it simply, it is to use these wealthy teenagers as the fuse to call on the numb people of Weiming country to stand up and do their best for a minute, so as to increase the people's centripetal force and cohesion towards the country, and unite together to resist the invasion of the inner government .

As a pharmacist who takes care of her wholeheartedly every day, Yongzhen is very familiar with the undercurrents faced by Jiying people.

Knowing that Yixin pretended to be a tengu many times and went out to kill the enemy, but for Wei Ming's safety, she couldn't stop it explicitly.

"Is it okay to rely on teenagers as eyeliner?"

Lu Xiao smiled and said: "It's human effort, anyway, it's already reached this point, if you don't show some awareness, you can't stop the continuous army from the inner palace."

"It just so happened that I got a windfall from Xianfeng Temple not long ago. The so-called great reward must have a brave man. Let's give it a try."

Chapter 152

For the time being, no one can be sure whether Lu Xiao's sudden whim is effective, but the rich teenagers, including Shanui, have long accumulated resentment towards the inner government, and he immediately expressed his willingness to accept Lu Xiao's training, even if it is only as a peripheral spy. willingly.

Although Japanese ninjas are exaggerated by many anime and film and television dramas, in the final analysis, there is no essential difference in the nature of the work of ninjas and assassins in a broad sense.
