Jinyi Health Center.

In prison.

In the dark cell, Tokugawa Ichiro lay on the straw mat in a state of embarrassment, with all his limbs tied up and unable to move at all.

Although the wounds on his body had been treated, they could not recover properly in this damp and dark cell. The waves of pain made him feel as uncomfortable as being bitten by thousands of ants.

Although he had undergone rigorous training, facing such a situation, he still felt a sense of fear that he had not seen for a long time, especially since he knew very well that Hu Fei would not let him go easily.

At this moment, footsteps were heard. Hu Fei, who had changed into a python robe and freshly washed himself, slowly walked into the prison and came to the door of Tokugawa Ichiro's cell.

Chundie and Pei Jie followed Hu Fei, both of them expressionless.

Because Tokugawa Ichiro, who once tried to assassinate Hu Fei, was the existence they could not tolerate the most.

Immediately afterwards, two Jinyi guards placed a chair in Tokugawa Ichiro's cell, and then left silently.

Hu Fei slowly walked into the cell and sat on a chair minding his own business. He looked at Tokugawa Ichiro who was lying on the straw mat as if he were watching a play, with a smug sneer at the corner of his mouth.

Looking at Hu Fei's appearance, Tokugawa Ichiro's heart was full of unwillingness and anger, but at this time, he was already powerless and only hoped that Hu Fei would kill him as soon as possible.

People who are extremely desperate often just want to die quickly.

"Have you seen enough?!"

Tokugawa Ichiro stared at Hu Fei and asked fiercely through gritted teeth.

"I like to watch my enemies begging for mercy in front of me, but you are different. You are still somewhat bloody. It seems that the way Japan cultivates ninjas is indeed unique."

Hu Fei looked at Tokugawa Ichiro and said lightly. It sounded like a compliment, but there was an obvious hint of joking on his face.

"Begging for mercy?! You are dreaming!"

"If it weren't for the mysterious master hiding beside you, you would have died by my sword!"

Tokugawa Ichiro glared at Hu Fei and said fiercely, without showing any signs of weakness.

He was trying to anger Hu Fei and then force Hu Fei to kill him.

"If my guess is correct, you must just want to die now, so you are trying to anger me."

Hu Fei looked at Tokugawa Ichiro and suddenly said with a smile.

After hearing Hu Fei's words, Tokugawa Ichiro suddenly froze, his pupils shrank suddenly, and a look of disbelief flashed in his eyes.

He didn't believe that Hu Fei could see through his mind, but Hu Fei did express his innermost thoughts.

"If I fall into your hands, there is no chance of me walking out of here alive!"

Tokugawa Ichiro gritted his teeth and said stubbornly, without admitting it.

After listening to Tokugawa Ichiro's words, Hu Fei shook his head gently.

"No, that's not what you really think."

"You must be really hoping that I will skip the interrogation process and kill you directly. Because you want to hide the secret in your heart, that's why when you were in the same hall, you saw that you were defeated and decided to kill yourself."

"Because you are afraid that once I capture you alive, I will reveal your secret."

Hu Fei looked at Tokugawa Ichiro and said with interest.

After listening to Hu Fei's words, Tokugawa Ichiro frowned and closed his mouth knowingly, but the fear in his heart became deeper and deeper.

"Why don't you let me take a guess and see if I'm sure."

"You are a ninja. You come from the famous Tokugawa family of Japan. You did once serve as a personal servant of the emperor. These are all true. However, your allegiance is not to the Southern Dynasty at all. Am I right?"

Hu Fei raised his right hand, held his chin, looked at Tokugawa Ichiro carefully, and analyzed it slowly.

But after hearing Hu Fei's last words, Tokugawa Ichiro, who was lying on the straw mat, suddenly shrank his pupils. Extreme surprise and fear made his hands tied behind him tremble involuntarily.

But it's not because of the pain on his body, but because of fear.

"The change in your eyes means that I guessed it right."

Hu Fei suddenly couldn't help but laugh out loud, pointed at Tokugawa Ichiro, who was filled with fear in his heart, and said with laughter.

Tokugawa Ichiro said nothing because he was speechless.

"Do you really think that I only discovered you after you failed to assassinate me?"

Immediately afterwards, Hu Fei looked at Tokugawa Ichiro and continued to ask.

Tokugawa Ichiro frowned and said nothing.

He didn't dare to talk because he realized that Hu Fei was too scheming and worried that he would say something wrong again as soon as he spoke.

"It seems you don't want to know, so I'll take the initiative to tell you."

"Actually, when the Jin Yiwei and the people from the Capital Military and Horse Department searched the entire capital and couldn't find a single clue, I felt that something was wrong."

"Because if there are really bandits, they can only be people outside the capital. And a bandit who intends to steal tributes cannot enter the capital without a trace! He can hide it from everyone in the Jinyi Guards and the Capital Military and Horse Department!"

"After a trip to West Street, I completely understood that the so-called bandits are actually in the Huitong Pavilion and lurking among the missions!"

"But the mission is full of Japanese people. How can they guard against themselves? What is the purpose? Didn't anyone notice it?"

"Then I was sure of one thing. This person must have a high status in the mission, and no one would doubt him at all!"

Listening to Hu Fei talking to himself, Tokugawa Ichiro's trembling hands were shaking more and more violently, and the fear hidden in his heart slowly appeared in his eyes.

"Immediately, I thought of the injury on Kuroda Yoshitaka's arm. From the very beginning, I realized that there was something wrong with his injury, because it was not caused by the robber after he knew that he had been discovered, but deliberately.

Of!"

"Because the location of the wound is wrong. According to a normal human reaction, he should have been injured near the wrist. It can't be that big of a deviation! And that move is not the best choice in the end to kill people and silence them. Even Butcher Zhang from the east of the city knows this!

Not to mention a bandit!"

"So I concluded that Kuroda Yoshitaka and the bandits were a group of people. They deliberately put on a show and deceived everyone!"

"But they are not doing it for the tribute itself, because there are too many opportunities along the way to start doing it after they come to the capital."

"So what is their purpose?"

"If my guess is correct, it should be that the tributes were stolen and the envoys were injured to force the already weak diplomatic relations between the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese country to break up and stir up trouble!"

"And if all this really happens, who will be the biggest beneficiary? I'm afraid even a fool can guess it!"

"The Japanese country at this time is at the time when the Southern and Northern Dynasties are splitting. Once the Southern Dynasty is destroyed, the biggest beneficiary will be the Northern Dynasty. At that time, the Northern Dynasty will take the opportunity to rise up and unify the Japanese country, and then bow to the Ming Dynasty and quell the war!"

"Although I had no choice but to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, I was able to control all the Japanese countries in my own hands. No matter how you look at it, this is a good deal."

"So, I conclude that you, like Kuroda Yoshitaka, are not from the Southern Dynasties at all, but from the Northern Dynasties lurking in the Southern Dynasties!"

Hu Fei looked at Tokugawa Ichiro and said nonstop.

At this time, Tokugawa Ichiro's hands were no longer trembling, his face had gradually turned pale, and the fear that appeared in his eyes had gradually appeared on his entire face.

He has never been so afraid of a person, and he is also a person who looks so young, even a little cynical, and does not do his job at all!

"And when I became aware of everything and sent people to seal off the hall and interrogate everyone including those in the mission, you were scared. You were worried that once the matter was exposed, you would have nothing to say and not only would the plan be ruined, but

Even I can’t escape easily.”

"So, you just wanted to kill me, thinking that killing me would cover up everything, so you quietly escaped from the Huitong Hall. With your skills, it was easy to leave the Huitong Hall under heavy guard!"

"Then you pretended to be a so-called bandit, deliberately exposed your whereabouts, lured me away from the hall, and then moved everyone around me away, planning to kill me quietly."

"But it's a pity that you missed it. If I really died that easily, I would have been buried in the North a few months ago."

"Actually, when I knew that the robber showed up, I knew it was you. The reason why I didn't tell anyone and led people to chase with great fanfare was to lure you to show up, because I wanted to see what you would do next.

.”

"I have to admit that you are indeed very skilled and can be considered a top-notch master, but in my eyes, you are just a clown."

"How's it going? How does it feel to be toyed with and applauded?"

Hu Fei looked at Ichiro Tokugawa with contempt on his face. When he finished speaking, the sneer on the corner of his mouth became more and more sinister and terrifying. Even Pei Jie and Chundie who had listened from beginning to end couldn't help but shudder.

.

Tokugawa Ichiro looked at the carefree Hu Fei, his eyes full of despair. He never dreamed that the Hu Fei in front of him had such a sinister and terrifying side, like a devil...
