With forty-eight imperial tools, I just want to rely on myself

Although the name of this task was full of desire for complaints, Ling Ze felt that this task was still very fragrant in his heart.

Originally, he thought he would not trigger the task again before he left, but he didn't expect that "Liu Yinhua would be another village", and finally he actually made him wait for such a task.

The difficulty of completing this task is actually not high. Ling Ze thought of a solution almost instantly, but he couldn't figure out the [hidden task] of this task at all.

Because the things involved in this task are a bit too complicated, it is difficult for Ling Ze to find obvious clues that can be used as the key clues to the [hidden task].

[Hidden task] There are too many possibilities, of course he can't try each one, because some of the possibilities are even contradictory.

The [hidden mission] that Ling Ze can think of now is probably something like "Let Xuedaiba and Kenshin Himura untie the knot" and "completely eliminate the forces behind the ghost".

This is also impossible. After all, the mission requirements of "Rescue Sedeba" seem a little vague in itself, and the mission of "Kill Sedeba and Kenshin Gomura" is even more involved. What else is there? task?Is it possible that what else can be done?

Therefore, in the choice of completing this task, Ling Ze will definitely not choose to "kill Xuedaiba and Kenshin Gomura", regardless of whether he is considering morality or interest. That would be a bit too frantic. And the benefits were not enough to drive Ling Ze to do that.

Ling Ze initially understood "saving Xuedaiba" as "saving Xuedaiba's life", and there is only one reason for triggering this mission, that is, if he does nothing, Kenshin Gomura and Xuedaiba will end up still It will be the same as before.

"Co-authored the two unique tricks I taught Kenshin Himura, but they didn't have any effect at all. I practiced with him for so long, and I didn't have a slight impact on his strength. Promote it?

Sure enough, Gentle Township is the Tomb of Heroes. The saddest pass is the Beauty Pass. Kenshin Himura has fallen into a beautiful and peaceful life. He has fallen into the trap of beauty, and can only be arbitrarily selected by others."

Ling Ze was stunned secretly, feeling the power of the "ecstasy" gentle township to men, but he didn't worry too much, because he was looking very open now, and it didn't really matter if he could finish this [hidden task].

He is now ready to go back to "Zhan!The preparations for the world of "The Crimson Eye" will definitely not delay too long to complete this task. If he can't find the clue of [Hidden Task], he will directly choose to complete this task.

"My business, you don't need to worry about it, after all, we are not very familiar, do you have something private to talk about? Then I will leave and avoid it."

Ling Ze is now paying attention to Iizuka. After all, this guy is the only clue that he can follow the vine to find the black hand behind the scenes.

After answering Iizuka’s question, Ling Ze got up and picked up the stick and knife, opened the door and walked out, leaving Iizuka and Kenshin Himura in the room. He wanted to go out and make preparations in advance to find behind the scenes. Black hand preparation.

"There have been many major events recently, which are extremely unfavorable for us. Our raid on Kyoto ended in failure.

Mr. Yoshida, Mr. Miyabe, Mr. Irie, and Mr. Kusaka all died in the battle, and the three family elders who contributed to the incident also apologized for this, and Mr. Takasugi was strictly imprisoned.

The conservatives have now completely controlled the power in the feudal clan. They are purging our people in the feudal clan. Now, in Ogi Castle, people are cutting their belly for this almost every day."

After Ling Ze walked out of the wooden house, Iizuka finally breathed a sigh of relief. He asked Himura Kenshin "Why is Ling Ze here?", but got a ridiculous "I don't know" answer.

There was no way. Kenshin Himura really didn't know how Ling Ze found him, and he didn't worry about this problem too much.

But this made Iizuka feel very uncomfortable. After all, the emergence of "Lingze" and "Zatou City" are variables that they did not anticipate at all. This is likely to affect their next plans, or The kind that can almost cause a crash.

But the matter was a foregone conclusion, and complaining was useless. Iizuka could only find a way to solve it. He quickly explained the matter to Kenshin Himura, which was the first step of the plan, and reconciled with Kenshin Himura. Established trust and contact.

"Now we are preparing to rescue Mr. Takasugi. Once Mr. Takasugi is rescued, the Raiders will begin to operate, and we have the capital to regain power.

You can live in seclusion here during this period of time. Although it is only a day away from Kyoto, you should never go to Kyoto. The Shinsengumi and Jianhuizu people have already killed their lofty ideals. Kyoto is now very dangerous."

Iizuka’s words passed through the wall and into Ling Ze’s ears. He heard them clearly. Ling Ze didn’t stand by the wall and eavesdrop. Instead, he sat on a small bench in the yard. Above, I can hear their conversation, I can only say that it is because Ling Ze's hearing is so good.

"Is Yoshida Minomo and Miyabe Teizou still dead?"

What Ling Ze noticed for the first time was the news of the death of these two people. After all, the two of them survived the "Ikeda House Incident" thanks to the butterfly effect brought by Ling Ze.

However, radical people may easily become "martyrs" amidst the changes of the times. These two guys eventually died in the battle and did not survive long.

The defeat of Shangluo this time dealt a great blow to the Changzhou Domain’s "respecting kings and fighting the barbarians". Three of the "Songyin Four Heavenly Kings" died at once. Only Takasugi Jinzuo was still alive, and he was He was also imprisoned with life or death uncertain. This situation is really just like what Kogoro Gui said, it can be said that all the games have been lost.

"Where is Mr. Gui?"

For Katsura Kogoro, Himura Kenshin is still very concerned, after all, Katsura Kogoro has always been good to him, and is quite taking care of him.

"I can't contact him. Since the Ikedaya incident, he has not been contacted again. Now his reputation in and outside the feudal clan is not very good. Everyone calls him "The escaped Kogoro."

Iizuka shook his head and replied, he really didn’t know where Kogoro Katsura was. The man was too cautious. At present, there is no news about Kogoro Katsura circulating in the public, and some people even doubt whether he died in the army. Among them, he died in the fire ignited by the Changzhou clan in Kyoto.

"If Iizuka knows where Kogoro Katsura is located, then Kogoro Katsura might have been caught by the shogunate. It seems that Kogoro Katsura has already dealt with Iizuka. Suspicious."

Ling Ze could understand the disappearance of Kogoro Gui. After all, as one of the few extant leaders who can lead the Changzhou Clan’s "respecting the king and fighting the barbarians", his most important task now is to survive this storm alive.

As long as people are still alive, the revolution is always hopeful. As the saying goes, "If you save land and lose people, you will lose people and land; if you save people and lose land, you will save people and land."

"But there is a question. If Kogoro Katsura really started to doubt Iizuka a long time ago, why did he ask Iizuka to contact Kenshin Himura?"

Ling Ze's mind began to flash through the plot of the original novel. He vaguely remembered that after Iizuka pitted Himura Kenshin, Katsura Kogoro directly took the second generation of "Executioner Draw Sword Sai" Zhizhixiong to find it. he.

"Does this mean that Kogoro Katsura has been monitoring everything secretly? Otherwise, how could he, a fugitive who was being hunted down, escaped so easily and caught the flaws of Iizuka, a man with an intelligence background."

Ling Ze thought of such a possibility. If the fact is really the case, then all of this can still make sense.

"How ruthless Kogoro, didn't even Katakai, the guard who had been with him for many years, not able to win his trust?"

Ling Ze couldn't help being speechless. Iizuka could contact Mr. Katakai, but neither he nor Mr. Katakai could contact Kogoro Katsura. Kogoro Katsura seemed to abandon them completely. He completely broke off with these two people. Link.

"Then what is his purpose for doing this? Because of the new "Executioner Draw Swordsai", he wants to get rid of Kenshin Gomura by the shogunate's hands? Or is he wanting someone to completely lose his feelings to the Shogun The hateful Kenshin of Himura?

In fact, both of these possibilities exist. After all, from the way Kogoro Katsura treats the second generation of "executioner draws a sword" Zhizhixiong, it can be seen that he is not a "good person" in a broad sense.

On the eve of the victory, first let the Musketeers stabbing Zhizhixiong back to the truth, and then directly set fire to the corpse to destroy the traces, it can really be said to have done nothing.

"From now on, you will live incognito here as a drug dealer. When the time comes, I will naturally inform you. Don't let your skills go to waste."

While talking, Iizuka walked out of the wooden house, Kenshin Himura followed behind him, and it seemed that Iizuka was about to leave.

"Where is Ling Ze?"

Seeing Xuedaiba alone planting seedlings in the yard, but no Ling Ze's figure, Kenshin Himura asked suspiciously.

"I left just now, I should have gone back."

Xuedaiba, who was inserting seedlings, raised his hand and wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, looked at Kenshin Himura and replied.

"That's a dangerous and evil guy. Have you never heard of those rumors? It is better to have as little contact with that kind of people in the future. Who knows if he has become a monster."

When Iizuka heard that Ling Ze had left, his courage instantly grew. He began to talk ill of Ling Ze, which made Kenshin Homura feel a little speechless. Xuedaiba also looked at Iizuka strangely, apparently feeling The man's words are a bit absurd.

"Forget it, when I didn't say it."

The boring Iizuka waved his hand and left here. The task he came this time has been completed, and he has done everything he needs to do. Next, he should go back to deliver the message and figure out how to eliminate the "Ling Ze "Unknown impact.

Ling Ze, who had "leaved early", walked out of the shadow trail. He followed the pace of Iizuka. Ling Ze followed very carefully, because he knew Iizuka was an intelligence job and he must be proficient in all kinds of things. Anti-reconnaissance technology, if you are not careful, you might be fooled by that guy.

This is indeed the case. Iizuka did not actually find Ling Ze, but he still instinctively began to detour, began to avoid tracking, and began to fight the air. This may be his occupational disease as an intelligence agent, he is an expert. .

If it is a general inexperienced person, it is impossible to track Iizuka. This man with rich anti-investigation experience can easily turn around his followers.

However, it is a pity that Ling Ze is not relying on his eyes to track him, but relying on the perception of all aspects of the human body. Only by visual deception, there is no way to get rid of Ling Ze.

Moreover, Ling Ze also has the [Five Vision Universal Observer]. If he loses the target, he can completely re-lock the target with "perspective and farsightedness".

Iizuka turned around and came to a small hotel in Otsu City. The door of this small hotel was closed with a sign that was closed. When Iizuka knocked on the door in a rhythmic and regular manner, it was inside. A head came out.

After the two confirmed their identities, Iizuka was placed in this small hotel. It was obvious that this hotel was just a disguise. Its interior was not a hotel, but a temporary base for assassins.

Ling Ze used the "perspective" ability of Teigu's [Five Visions · Observer] to see clearly. There were six people in the small hotel. In addition to the Iizuka who had just entered, there was a little boy, and Four people dressed as ninjas.

That little boy was Xuedaiyuan, Xuedaiba's younger brother. He came to Kyoto to find his sister, and was then brought here by these assassins.

Among the four ninjas, three ninjas are all young people, and they are very ninjas in their black masked night clothes.

The leader sitting at the top of the center is much older, at least forty or fifty years old, but his body is very strong, no less than the young ninjas around him.

"Kui Kogoro still has no news, but the executioner drew the sword fast is already eaten by us. It is only a matter of time before we take him. The plan is indeed very effective."

Iizuka took off his hat and reported the situation to the leader. Xuedaiba was the one that he and the leader had placed beside Kenshin Himura, and their purpose was to let Xuedaiba weaken Fei. The strength of the village Kenshin.

"It's a pity, Kogoro Gui's head, but it's not as good as the executioner, but it's not bad to have this one."

The leader shook his head slightly, seeming to feel a bit regretful. After all, they played this big game of chess. Their original goal was to catch all the people of the Changzhou Clan in Kyoto, including Kogoro Gui and the executioner. Draw a sword".

Now that the main goal is running, it is indeed a pity for them.

"After all, it's "Kogoro who flees". Even they can't find him, so we can't help it."

Iizuka's words are full of irony, and I don't know whether it is aimed at Kogoro Katsura or the abandoned Kamai.

"This man... is a real villain..."

Ling Ze listened outside and felt a little speechless. This Iizuka betrayed his vassal Clan Changzhou for his own benefit. This is definitely a thing that people despises in this era, especially his The betrayal does not involve any "righteousness", it is purely for self-interest.

If he was "Infernal Affairs" from the beginning, then he should not be blamed, but he should be praised for his abilities. But this kind of pure "two-five-five" behavior is really contemptible by the public.

Ling Ze is now facing a decision, that is, whether to go directly in and wipe out this group of people directly.

If you do this, it is equivalent to giving up the [hidden task] directly, and judging from the task name [Cross Injury], you can actually understand that this task is estimated to be triggered in a short time. The last task.

After all, the plot of "Rurouni Kenshin: Remembrance" is just over here, and if you want to follow Kenshin Himura to trigger a mission, it is probably hopeless.

"Forget it, this [hidden task] is too difficult to do, and I don't know what it is, let's just complete this task."

After thinking about it in his heart, Ling Ze directly made a decision. If it is a [hidden task] with an obvious goal, he can wait to complete the [hidden task].

As for now, the targets are already in front of you, and to let them go for the [hidden mission] that you don't know what it is, it's a bit redundant.

"boom!!!"

Ling Ze directly blasted the courtyard wall with a fist, smashing the courtyard wall into a mess, and immediately alarmed all the people in the house.

"Someone broke in!"

Among the three young ninjas, who is tall and strong, holding a big axe immediately shouted, and at the same time, he was already carrying the big axe and ran towards the door.

Although Ling Ze didn’t understand why this guy was obviously a ninja, why he took a long-handled axe as a weapon, but even an assassin can be transformed into a berserker. A ninja whose nature is similar to an assassin can’t be used without reason. arms.

Ling Ze didn't be polite with this guy either. He locked the position of the strong ninja outside the door. Ling Ze broke through the door without stopping, and pierced the strong ninja's jaw from the bottom up with a knife.

Ling Ze quickly drew his sword, some of the blood was absorbed by [Xuelan], and some spewed out, and the figure of the strong ninja holding a large axe fell down.

"Ling Ze!!! Why are you here?!"

Seeing the figure that suddenly came in, the first thing that reacted was Iizuka, his face was terrified, and he obviously didn't understand why Ling Ze appeared.
