Under One Person: I am the Master of Maoshan

After Shen Yan took it, he handed it to Cheng Zhen beside him without even looking at it.

Then she looked at him with a smile: "Master Ishikawa, we are friends. There is no condition between friends. How do you want me to help you?"

"Mr. Shen, thank you so much. I am so confused right now and I don't know what to do. I am willing to listen to your advice."

Shen Yan nodded: "Okay, then Master Ishikawa, you just need to go back to China and find out the exact time when He Ren came to China. Leave the rest to me. If I succeed in getting this demon sword, I will give it to you. What do you think?"

"This...how can this be possible, Mr. Shen?" Ishikawa stuttered and couldn't believe what Shen Yan said.

Shen Yan said jokingly: "How come Master Ishikawa can't even handle such a small matter?"

The head of the Ishikawa family waved his hands quickly: "No, no, no, Mr. Shen, you misunderstood, I just can't believe it. Destroying Hirumaru is my mission, how can I let you do most of the things."

Shen Yan's tone was very sincere: "Ishikawa, we are friends. Friends will not cause trouble to each other. After all, you are Japanese. If the Japanese high-level officials knew about this, how can your Ishikawa family still gain a foothold in the country?"

Lu Ren tried his best to imitate Shen Yan's tone, and after hearing it, Ishikawa Wen's tears welled up in his eyes.

"Mr. Shen! Our two countries are still at war, but you can still treat me like this now. Ishikawa was so rude before! I have a request, and I hope you can agree to it!"

"Please tell me, I will do what I can."

"Shichuan and Mr. Shen are willing to follow the example of Liu, Guan, and Zhang of the Three Kingdoms and swear to be friends forever!"

Shen Yan laughed: "I thought it was something else. Since President Ishikawa is willing, Shen also has this intention."

Just like that, with the help of the wine in Liu Wei's gourd, the simple-minded Ishikawa Wen and the ulterior motive Shen Yan kowtowed eight times to the north to become friends, and the two sides exchanged tokens of friendship.

Ishikawa Fumi handed him the family emblem with both hands: "My dear brother, this is my brother's family emblem. If you have any difficulties, take this family emblem. Ishikawa will obey your orders!"

Shen Yan also took out a jade token with the word Shen on it and handed it to Ishikawa: "Brother, I'll leave this for you as a souvenir."

After the two sides swore brotherhood, they sat down again, and this time their relationship became much closer. The country of Japan is influenced by geography, and its people like to go to extremes in culture and character. Ishikawa Fumi is one of those people with extremely simple minds.

Shen Yan personally took the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Ishikawa Wen: "Brother Ishikawa, since we are a family, I have something to say to you. I wonder if you can listen to me."

"Please speak, my dear brother!" Ishikawa Wen now believed Shen Yan's words without a doubt.

"Brother, I hope you can become the next leader of the Yagyu clan. The samurai are now doomed. If you can't unite as one in the country, then when Higashi-nin comes to power in the future, they will attack the samurai group. How will the samurai, who are now in disarray, respond?"

Ishikawa thought about it carefully and felt that what Shen Yan said made a lot of sense. The resentment in Bihe Ren's heart, who had been suppressed for nearly a hundred years, was unimaginable.

So Ishikawa bowed his hands in the unique Chinese etiquette and said: "Please teach me, brother."

"At present, it seems that the strength of your Ishikawa family is well preserved. You can gain a lot of favor by borrowing the remains of these masters. You can rely on the influence of the Ishikawa family to win over some schools with good relations and gain a foothold in the political arena. In this way, the remaining sect forces will have to rely on you. Even if Higashi Shinobu comes out in the future, he will not be able to do anything to you samurai."

Ishikawa Fumi thought deeply and nodded: "My dear brother, although our Ishikawa family is not a particularly famous noble family, we still have a certain influence. This should not be difficult. Thank you for your advice. If the Ishikawa family can gain a foothold in the political arena, we will never forget your kindness."

The two sides then discussed the current situation, but Ishikawa Fumi looked embarrassed when leaving.

"Brother, if I take these remains away like this, I'm afraid they will be too conspicuous. Do you have any good ideas?"

"It's a piece of cake, brother. Burn the bodies and take their bones back. They are smaller and easier for you to carry."

Then the disciples of the small inn helped to pile up the remains with wood and branches, and Shen Yan took out a few Jiayin fire-borrowing talismans.

"Edict!"

Suddenly a raging fire broke out, and Ishikawa Fumi exclaimed in amazement.

"Brother, your skills are somewhat similar to those of the Yin-Yang Masters in our country."

“It’s just a trick”

Shen Yan said this but in his heart he was secretly mocking: "Can an Onmyoji who stole a little bit of the Five Elements Escape Technique be compared with my Maoshan authentic sect? He is not even worthy of carrying my shoes!"

After refining the remains, the Ishikawa family's disciples used the utensils and coats they brought to wrap up the important parts of the bones. The other remains were scattered by the wind.

"My dear brother, today we are having a gathering, why don't we use Manager Liu's restaurant to get drunk?"

Shen Yan declined, "Thank you for your kindness, brother, but I have something important to attend to. We can drink and chat happily together again when we have the chance in the future!"

Ishikawa Fumi lowered his head and sighed: "Well, my dear brother, you are a soldier and you must be busy with military affairs. It's a pity."

Shen Yan accompanied Ishikawa for a while, and when they reached the exit of Bashan, Ishikawa suddenly fell to his knees.

"Brother, why are you doing this?"

"Brother, along the way I have seen soldiers from our country committing all kinds of atrocities on Chinese soil, burning, killing, raping and looting. When our Ishikawa family has a say, I will do my best to stop this war. I hope that our two countries can be friends forever, just like you and I, brothers!"

Shen Yan helped him up and held his hand: "Brother, if all Japanese were like you, I believe such a war would never happen again."

Ishikawa Wen turned around and shed tears to say goodbye to Shen Yan, and accompanied by Liu Wei, he rushed to Yinghe Tower. When he left, he looked back every few steps, reluctant to leave Shen Yan.

After Shen Yan could no longer see Ishikawa Wen, the smile on his face suddenly turned into a cold one.

He said to himself, "It depends on how useful this chess piece can be. I think his role will be greater than that puppet in Manchuria."

Lü Ren, who was standing by, was speechless and laughed at him: "Captain, aren't you afraid of hurting the Ishikawa family head's feelings? I can see that he is devoted to you without reservation."

"Those who are not of my race must have different hearts. Let's go."

When they turned around, the three of them were stunned. They didn't know when Tang Bingwen and Gao Yingcai were standing behind them.

"Uh, old gatekeeper, when did you come?" Shen Yan was a little curious.

Tang Bingwen raised his thumb and said, "While you were struggling to make tea, Yingcai and I were near you. Little Master, this scene is really brilliant! Today has opened my eyes. Your mouth is several times stronger than the most poisonous poison of the Tang Sect."

"Please stop making fun of me. Let's go, Master Tang. Let's go back to Tang Sect and study these Bihe Ninjas."

On the way back, Tang Bingwen gathered the remaining six people at Guanyuan, and they surrounded Shen Yan and returned to the Tang Clan.

Tang Mingyi at Master Hong's place had been observing the situation below from an eagle's perspective. Upon learning that everyone was safe, he ordered his disciples to disperse, but still did not allow them to go down the mountain to do their work.

Several elders of the Tang Clan gathered in the hall. Yang Lie and Zhang Wang were guarding outside and not allowing anyone to enter.

Lu Ren took out a pen and paper and translated the information brought by Ishikawa Wen. Everyone gathered behind him and watched intently.

It details the origin of Higashi-nin and the training methods of ordinary ninjas. It also contains some important figures of Higashi-nin, as well as the current demon wielder of Hirimaru, Nikaidou Eita!
