The man walking out of the house looked to be in his forties. According to current standards, he must be over 1.7 meters tall. His appearance was nothing special, but the way he was dressed made him look clearly...
It gives off a rather rich flavor.
According to the thoughts of the six or seven villagers just now: this middle-aged man and the old man using the scythe should be just a combination of "an ordinary businessman and his old entourage". As long as they take advantage of the large number of people, they can go in at night and hold down Shang.
The two people who were sleeping soundly were wiped on their necks, and then the bodies were thrown into the mountain, and all the belongings of the two people were obtained.
But who would have thought that these two people were not easy-going people. Those who planned to kill people and steal money hadn't even entered the house yet, so they were both dead.
If Huang Donglai hadn't happened to be present today, I'm afraid the death toll would have increased.
"Friend, I think there should be a bit of misunderstanding between us." When the middle-aged man walked out of the house, he directly turned his attention to Huang Donglai and said.
When Huang Donglai heard what he said, he was also stunned.
After being stunned for five seconds, Huang Donglai said without warning: "Are you from the Central Plains?"
As soon as these words came out, the other party's expression changed slightly, and after a two-second pause, he responded: "Why do you say that?"
This kind of reaction from a middle-aged man is also normal.
Although he is indeed from the Central Plains, he has been in Japan for almost 20 years. He speaks Japanese very fluently. Even people who are familiar with him cannot recognize his accent, let alone someone who has just met and just listens.
He said two sentences to the person.
In terms of appearance, although his height is a bit taller than the average here, it is not particularly exaggerated, and his appearance does not have any characteristics that can be easily identified as a Central Plains person.
Therefore, Huang Donglai's words were extremely abrupt and unreasonable to this middle-aged man.
The only reasonable explanation he could think of was that the other party was deceiving him, so he would "answer questions with questions" as a counter-test.
So...how did Huang Donglai know that he was from the Central Plains?
The hidden meaning in the book here is mainly related to Brother Huang's spell called "Kelu Xunfa".
We mentioned in the previous article that under the influence of Huang Donglai's "translation BUFF", he and Sun Yixi listened to the Japanese speaking Japanese and heard Chinese, while the Japanese listened to them speaking Chinese and heard Japanese.
.
However, what is happening now is another situation - now there is a Central Plains man speaking Japanese to Huang Dong.
I don’t know why, under this situation, what Huang Donglai heard in his ears was neither Japanese nor normal Chinese, but a language similar to the "Left Chinese" in the anti-Japanese drama... He couldn't imagine this.
It's hard to even notice.
Of course, when he first heard the other party speaking, Huang Donglai didn't know what was going on. He didn't even know whether the original voice that came out of the other party's mouth was Japanese or Chinese. Anyway, what he heard in his ears was the "big left accent"
.
So Huang Donglai was stunned for a moment and then guessed... Maybe it was because the native speaker of the person opposite was not Japanese, so no matter how well he spoke Japanese, there would still be some thoughts related to his native language in his mind when he spoke, which led to
There was also a certain deviation in the translation of the spell "Keluxunfa", which resulted in a strange accent.
Someone must have asked when seeing this: When you said that Brother Sun's Japanese sounds like a Western accent to Japanese ears, does that mean that he...
Then I won't explain it, you can figure it out yourself.
"I..." Huang Donglai was asked such a rhetorical question, and it was hard to explain for a moment. He couldn't directly tell the other person that he knew Taoism, right? So he thought about it and replied, "Oh, because I often
I have dealt with people from the Central Plains, so I am very familiar with them, and I have my own way of distinguishing them, which I cannot elaborate on."
When the middle-aged man heard this, he thought to himself that the boy in front of him looked young, but he looked like an old man when dealing with temptations. It was not easy...
"I see..." The middle-aged man thought calmly for a few seconds, and then suddenly switched to Chinese and said, "Oh, that's okay, it doesn't hurt to tell you. I am indeed from the Central Plains, but...I'm here
Japan has been in Japan for almost twenty years, so I really don’t know how you could tell at a glance that I’m not Japanese.”
When Huang Donglai heard the other party speaking Chinese to him, he immediately understood that the other party was trying him again.
Obviously, this middle-aged man also had a guess about Huang Donglai's identity...
Although Huang Donglai is over 1.6 meters tall and is closer to Japanese than Brother Sun, who is over 1.7 meters tall, and the Japanese he translates through magic does not have an accent, he is still a Central Plains native who has just come to Japan.
Compared with that middle-aged man, the flaws in Huang Donglai's words and deeds were actually bigger.
If others don't pay special attention to observe, it may not be exposed, but now that he has taken the initiative to bring up the topic of Central Plains people, the middle-aged man opposite will naturally think in that direction. Subconsciously, the middle-aged man's
The thought came into my mind, "Is this kid also from the Central Plains and that's why he can see through me?"
"Oh~" At this time, Huang Donglai thought to himself, "This is a serious situation. I shouldn't have blurted out just now and asked him if he was from the Central Plains. Instead, it made him guess that I was too... and at least I
You are here to perform a confidential mission on behalf of the emperor, isn't it risky to reveal your nationality casually?"
Just when Huang Donglai was eagerly thinking about how to get through here, suddenly...
"Eh? What's going on? Brother Huang, I seem to hear someone speaking in our Central Plains dialect?" Sun Yixie shouted in Chinese while running over from behind Huang Donglai with Keijiro.
Now, Huang Donglai doesn't have to worry anymore...
By the way, Keijiro has no problem with the fact that they are from the Central Plains, because he has long known that Shuangxi is actually not Japanese, and he has openly challenged the two of them a few days ago.
It showed that he already knew and said that he didn't care about it; as for Shuangxie's motive for hiding his identity, Shuangxie didn't tell him, and Keijiro didn't ask.
"Ha...it seems you don't have to answer, little brother." The middle-aged man looked at the two people coming from behind Huang Donglai and smiled at that time.
Huang Donglai sighed helplessly and stopped worrying. He just turned around and quickly told Sun Yihe and Keijiro what had just happened.
What he said was not only told to Brother Sun and Keijiro, but also to the middle-aged man opposite and the male Suikan. In this way, the male Suoma also understood that Huang Donglai was not one of those people who wanted to make money.
One of the murderers.
"It turns out it was all a misunderstanding. I'm really sorry just now." Suo Siman knew that he was in the wrong, and since he was also a subordinate of a middle-aged man, his superiors had no intention of conflicting with these people, so naturally he had to step down as soon as possible.
"It's okay. Fortunately, no one was injured." Huang Donglai could also see that this guy was not talking about things, so he just dealt with it, and then said to the middle-aged man, "By the way, I haven't asked for advice yet..."
"First time..." The middle-aged man had already said half of the Japanese word "first meeting" when he suddenly paused again, smiled bitterly, and then said in Chinese, "My lord, Hu Wenzhi, a person from Dengzhou, Shandong, is here.
His name is..." At this point, he switched back to Japanese and said, "Araki Rojin."
Dear readers, those readers with good memories may still remember that this Hu Wenzhi was mentioned in a memory of Di Bujue in our previous document (Volume 3, Chapter 47).
Di Bujue and Hu Wenzhi were old friends back then. When Di Bujue left Caobang in his early twenties to work as a "killer agent" in the desert, it was Hu Wenzhi who sent him a letter and the altar quilt on behalf of Di Bujue's sister-in-law.
"Drunk and dreaming of death" after taking laxatives.
Unexpectedly, Di Bujue beat Hu Wenzhi back and sent him to the government...
Of course, Hu Wenzhi didn't spend too long in jail. It was the spring of the 25th year of Hongde's reign when he went in. By the end of that year, the emperor passed away. The next year, Zhu Zhu succeeded to the throne, changed his name to Yongtai, and issued a general amnesty to the world. Hu Wenzhi
Even if he was released, he didn't even have to wait for a full year.
After he was released from prison, Hu Wenzhi felt that the martial arts world in the Central Plains was too damn dangerous, so he went east to the sea and came to Japan in the early years of Yongtai, and he never went back since.
Now, Hu Wenzhi has changed his name to Araki Roshijin, and his identity is a retainer of the Miyoshi clan.
And this "Miyoshi clan" was a rapidly rising force in Kinki and Shikoku at that time. Geographically speaking, it was just southeast of the Mori clan and Nishi clan.
After seeing this, I guess everyone understands that the assassination of Takeda Kuranosuke at Kawapengzhuang was indeed Hu Wenzhi and his man with a sickle, and their purpose was also obvious - to be at a disadvantage in the Nizi clan
At the moment, they secretly went to the Maori family's rear to do something, even if it slightly affected the pace of Maori's annexation of Nizi, it would be good.
Because for the Miyoshi clan, the longer the Mouri clan and the Nishi clan fight, the more advantageous they will be. It is best for those two families to fight to the death, and then let the Miyoshi clan clean up the battlefield.
"This..." Hu Wenzhi finished introducing himself, then pointed to the man next to him and said, "This is my bodyguard, Mr. Murakami."
"Xia Murakami Xuanyi, please give me some advice." Murakami also followed Hu Wenzhi's words.
Here, Hu Wenzhi said that Murakami was a guard, which was actually nonsense. He said this just to hide his strength.
In fact, Murakami's martial arts is not as good as Hu Wenzhi, and Murakami is a ninja.
Regarding the positioning of ninjas in this world, we also said when we talked about the female ninja before, their frontal strength is not very strong; sneaking and disguising, stealing intelligence, conducting sneak attacks, etc. are their specialties, you really
If you need protection, it would be more reliable to find a warrior.
And Hu Wenzhi took Murakami together this time, obviously not to let Murakami protect himself, but because of Hu Wenzhi's good ear skills, combined with Murakami's unique skill of "locking the sickle", to carry out long-distance operations in the dark or in low visibility environments.
Assassination is very convenient.
Takeda Kuranosuke was killed by the two of them in a sneak attack from a long distance when he came out of the pool after taking a bath in the hot springs at night, so in the end such a eucalyptus discovery scene was left.
As for the two villagers who died just now, as well as Huang Donglai... they were accurately positioned by Murakami in the house with iron weights, and it was also Hu Wenzhi's credit.
Of course, Hu Wenzhi's ear skills are not as miraculous as Daredevil's. If he could hear more detailed information, he wouldn't have to wait until Huang Donglai dodged Murakami's attack and counterattacked the curse before he understood the opponent.
Not with the villagers.
"It's easy to talk about. His name is Kameda Kazufeng." Huang Donglai wrote down the other person's name and then began to introduce Brother Sun.
"His name is Edo Xudong." Sun Yixie took advantage of the situation and reported Huang Ge's fake name.
Hu Wenzhi hasn't said anything about the two people's behavior of "not introducing themselves but introducing each other, and still giving Japanese fake names"... Keijiro on the side was staring at the weapon in Murakami's hand and the two corpses on the ground.
After a while, he suddenly showed an expression of realization and exclaimed: "Hey! Was it you who killed the man in Chuanpengzhuang?"
This is good. Originally, the two sides were just wary of each other internally, and on the surface they were in a state of "having just solved the misunderstanding, and will never get to know each other without fighting."
As soon as Keijiro said these words, Hu Wenzhi and Murakami were shocked as if their hair was fried.
"Damn it! They are Maori people!" Murakami made another judgment at that time.
His reaction is understandable. After all, there is something wrong with him - a ninja who has completed his mission and is on his way back to his life. If someone screams loudly and points out the fate he committed not long ago, then he must be instinctive.
The ground will think that the other party is coming to chase you.
Murakami was panicked and immediately raised the weapon in his hand.
When Keijiro ran over with Sun Yixie, he also came because he heard the shouts of the villagers outside and thought something had happened to Brother Huang. He also had a red gun in his hand.
Both of them raised their weapons, and they saw each other raising their weapons at the same time, so what else could they say? It’s better to strike first!
Huhuhu——
Soon enough, the scythe in Murakami's hand came to life again, and the iron weight at one end of the chain spun rapidly above his head as he swung it. Next, as long as he threw his hand, the thing would come out of his chest.
It flew towards Keijiro's face like a cannonball.
However! Just when Murakami was about to throw him away, a force of grabbing had already hit his waist and abdomen.
Murakami couldn't even catch when Sun Yixie moved. When he reacted, Sun Yixie had already hugged his waist, knocked his whole body backward, flew into the air, and pressed him to the ground.
Huang Donglai, whose Qinggong skills were much better than Sun Yixie's, was now fighting in front of Hu Wenzhi.
Hu Wenzhi's reaction was faster than Murakami's. He still had time to make a move before the opponent touched him...
The next second, I saw Hu Wenzhi flicking his right palm upwards, three fingers suddenly opened, two fingers closed, and he used a move full of internal energy, "He Yun Tuo Yue", to prepare to meet the enemy. At the same time, his left hand also made a fist, hanging in the air.
At the waist, in conjunction with the footwork of moving sideways and backwards, a posture of "turbulent waves" is prepared as a backhand for counterattack.
Just the withdrawal and retraction, the flick and the suspension, the continuous and orderly feeling of his moves, and the free and easy movement of the movements reveal a charm that can only be found in the Central Plains boxing method.
And this... happened to be a boxing technique that Huang Donglai had seen before.
"What's your relationship with the Cao Gang?" Huang Donglai held back his attack at the last moment. He stopped three steps in front of Hu Wenzhi and asked quickly.
"Who are you?" Hu Wenzhi had not yet come out of the rhythm brought by Murakami, so he still did not lower his posture. "Not only can you tell at a glance that I am from the Central Plains, but you can even recognize my martial arts?"
"Brother Sun, stop fighting now." Huang Donglai did not answer Hu Wenzhi, but rushed behind him and said this.
He couldn't help but say this, because in just a few seconds, a few meters away from him and Hu Wenzhi, Sun Yixie had already used a series of sleeping skills to make Murakami's old bones almost fall apart.
Even Keijiro, who had seen Sun Yixie attack Tokumaru with his own eyes before, was a little dumbfounded. Keijiro couldn't help but thought: So Kameda-kun, who doesn't have gout, is so powerful? If he gets caught up close, I won't be able to hold on.
A moment and a half...
"Huang Gate in the middle of Shu, Huang Donglai." After a breath, Huang Donglai finally decided to give his name after some calculations.
As for Hu Wenzhi... He had been away from the Central Plains for twenty years and knew nothing about Huang Donglai's name or his deeds, but he definitely had a reaction to the words "Huangmen in the middle of Shu", and it was very big: "
Are you from the Huangmen?"
"That's right." Huang Donglai said, "Since you now know this thing that I didn't want to tell you, you should also understand that next, you'd better be more honest, otherwise..."
