Chapter 180 Arrival in a foreign country

Disguised with a blinding technique, Reimu was not worried that the underground tribe would be found by shogunate soldiers and descendants of Orochi in a short time.

She told her tribe members to be careful during her absence and not to touch the statues enshrined in the shrine, let alone go outside the tribe's territory.

The tribesmen promised to comply, and their only support now is the Great Miko. Without the Great Miko, the Kami Chiraku clan might have been exterminated by now.

After Kami Chiraku Reimu settled everything, he left the underground and returned to the ground through a secret passage. This passage was connected to a barn and warehouse.

After she came out of the passage, she no longer looked like a girl. She looked like a young man in his twenties, who had already used disguise.

After coming out of the barn, there were farmers around. They were a little surprised to see her and asked who she was. Reimu responded perfunctorily and left quickly.

Along the way, she saw many new notices posted on the roadside walls. Some of them were recruitment notices, posted by the Shanggu shogunate, calling on young men to join the shogunate to fight against foreign enemies.

There are also some wanted notices, and the wanted targets are members of the Shenqianle clan. The notices state that the clan secretly communicates with foreign enemies, deceives people, spreads rumors and causes trouble... and a series of other charges are laid.

After reading it, Kami Chiraku Reimu thought that under the smear campaign by the Upper Palace Shogunate, the people's trust in their clan would definitely drop rapidly.

This is inevitable, because they do not have the power to speak for themselves, and do not have a voice to express themselves. Even if there are people who are willing to believe them, they will tend to remain silent after being suppressed. In the end, there will only be one smear god left.

The voice of the Qianle clan.

"It's so dark..." She whispered, turned and left.

To go to the Bei'an territory, she must take a boat. This is not difficult. Although the two sides are currently at war, business has not been completely cut off, and merchant ships are still circulating. She only needs to board one of them to reach the capital.

It's just that this kind of merchant ship will not allow strangers to board at will, but this kind of rule is undoubtedly not satisfactory in front of the great witch who has many onmyojis.

It took Reimu Kamichiraku two days to rush to the port and board a merchant ship. This is a commercial port, which is different from the port in Torioka Prefecture. Since the massacre there, it has been completely taken over by the shogunate and has been exclusively used by the shogunate.

port.

After boarding the ship, she looked to the west and prayed that the trip would go smoothly. She also prayed that the Bei'an Army would be able to help as she imagined.

If this trip is in vain, not to mention that the Shenqianle family will lose hope, and even the entire Dongbo and millions of people will face a catastrophe.

Kami Chiraku Reimu didn't believe that Kamiya Shingen's methods could suppress the revived Orochi. Once Yamata no Orochi wakes up, the Kamimiya family's fate may be the same as that of the Hojo family, and they will become puppets like chess pieces.

After nearly two days of sailing, the ship arrived at a ferry in Xuzhou.

After Xuzhou was controlled by the Bei'an Army, the ferry was reactivated and used exclusively for commercial purposes. This is different from the Jingcheng Ferry, which is now fully used for military purposes. As a military port, ships from other countries are not allowed to approach at will.

This makes other countries' merchant ships very troublesome and they have to detour through Xuzhou. But there is nothing that can be done. However, I heard that the Bei'an Army is carrying out large-scale construction work. Maybe there will be many new ports built next year. By then,

Much more convenient.

These are what Shen Qianle Reimu heard from others on the boat. She basically spent seventeen years of her life in the clan and the shrine, and didn’t know much about the outside world. She also didn’t know much about the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Bei’an, which now captured the Great Zhou Jiangbei.

The army knew nothing at all.

The first time she set foot on the land of Moshang, it was supposed to be a pleasant journey to a foreign country with someone to accompany her, a guide, and a translator.

But now she has none of these, only extremely important responsibilities and tasks that are pressing on her thin shoulders. She can only reach the capital from Xuzhou on her own and find a way to meet Su Yuan.

After Kami Qianle Reimu got off the ship, there were many carriages parked around, all waiting to take people to the city. As she approached, a carriage driver took the initiative to ask: "Sir, where are you going?"

"I...Jingcheng..." Shen Qianle Reimu didn't understand Da Zhou's dialect, so he crammed in and learned a few words that he would definitely use.

When the coachman saw her getting off a foreign ship, he knew that she was a foreigner. It was normal for her to have a language barrier. But he was still a little surprised when she said she was going to the capital.

"You want to go to the capital? That's a bit far. I can only take you to the border town. You have to take a car to Kaiyang, the capital city, and then hire a car from Kaiyang to the capital."

Qianle Reimu couldn't understand the driver's words, but she could probably understand what they meant. She had looked at the map before coming and knew that it would not be possible to get to Beijing in a day or two.

She got on the coachman's carriage and went to the border town first. When she arrived, she took out the silver bullion. The coachman took it, looked at it, and said with a smile: "Sir, this silver is of very good quality."

The coachman didn't care whether the foreigner understood it or not, and said to himself: "I heard that they are getting new money over there in the capital. Mr. Lu, who is in charge of the money, said that they will convert all the silver and gold into 'treasure notes'. I think you can exchange it for it."

Quite a few.”

As he spoke, he looked for money for Reimu Shenqianle. He would not dare to bully foreigners who did not understand and accepted the full price. It was not that he did not want to, it was simply that the Bei'an Army was vigorously rectifying all walks of life and cracking down on all kinds of illegal activities.

, he didn’t want to lose his job because of greed.

Kami Chiraku Reimu listened to the coachman's beeping, but she didn't understand anyway, so she just took the change. She knew that money here was hard currency, and she had brought a lot of money with her before coming.

It doesn’t matter if you are not fully prepared in other aspects. If you don’t bring more money, you will just feel uncomfortable.

When they arrived at the city gate, the city guards made a routine inspection. Kami Chiraku Reimu only brought a package with him, which contained some onmyoji tools and the letter written by the daimyo.

She originally wanted to use onmyoji to pass the inspection, but the officers and soldiers in charge of the inspection gave her a sense of majesty. That was the power of a martial artist... She didn't want to cause trouble out of thin air, so she queued up to be inspected honestly.

What surprised her was that although the officers and soldiers guarding the city all looked serious, they were not rude to the people when inspecting them. They would carefully open the packages when inspecting them, and then re-roll them if there were no problems.

They would not be like some ashigaru in Japan, who would easily tear down people's packages and bamboo baskets and take the contents as their own. If the contents were worthless, they would even insult and curse them.

Even such a small detail made Reimu Kami Qianle couldn't help but feel a little emotional. A glimpse of one spot reveals the whole leopard. Once a soldier like this fights with a Japanese soldier, who will win and who will lose more, and who will win more from the people?

The support is simply clear at a glance.

At present, what corresponds to the soldiers' behavior is the relaxed attitude of the common people. They are not nervous at all when facing the inspection, and they chat with their colleagues while doing the inspection.

If it were in Dongbo, most of the people who were inspected would be trembling with fear, fearing that some disaster would suddenly happen to them.

Such a sharp contrast made Reimu Kami Qianle believe once again that she must have made the right choice in coming here this time, and she would definitely gain something.
