Perhaps he had an innocent and innocent side when he was young, but after being tricked by Di Bujue and Di Bujue's sister-in-law, he changed.
For the past twenty years, Hu Wenzhi has been alone in a foreign land where wars are constantly raging. Only he understands the danger and bitterness involved.
The fact that he survived in the end and got to where he is today is enough to prove that his quotient has been thoroughly honed.
Therefore, after simply weighing the pros and cons, he quickly reached a "reconciliation" with Shuangxie and Keijiro.
And when I say "reconciliation," you can also pronounce these two words as "surrender."
This account is not difficult to calculate: my companion Murakami has been captured by his opponent, and he is one against two. One of them is a member of the Huangmen who is famous for his "light skills, poison, and hidden weapons", and the other is a spear user.
He doesn't look like an ordinary character. If he chooses to be tough, the probability of escaping with his whole body is almost zero. It's pretty good if we can both die together.
Originally, he was just working for the Miyoshi family, and he was not his son, so why did he play with his life?
To make a long story short, after Hu Wenzhi chose to surrender, Sun Huang and Keijiro escorted Hu Wenzhi and Murakami back to the room next door and began the "interrogation."
Some people may feel a little strange when they see this. They were fighting and making trouble in the middle of the night, leaving two corpses on the ground, and then they went back to the next door so calmly? They were not afraid of disturbing other villagers.
?
Damn, do you think other villagers are good people? We all belong to the same village. A traveler staying overnight in a certain family in the village mysteriously disappeared at night. Can the neighbors not know what happened?
To put it bluntly, the six or seven guys before were just "those responsible for doing things." This village occasionally attacked passers-by, killed people, and robbed money. In fact, the whole village was involved, and you didn't care whether you wanted to or not.
This is how this village survives in this era of war and chaos. They themselves have been oppressed and robbed by bandits, ruffians, or those tyrannical people, and then they turn around and rob people who are weaker than themselves. No one thinks that this is the case.
If something is wrong, or even if you know it is wrong, you will gradually be forced by reality and have to act in this way.
"Tell me, what do you do at Chuanpengzhuang?" Sun Yixie asked Hu Wenzhi directly as soon as he sat down.
We have to make a digression here, that is, there was a small problem in the last book, that is, when Huang Donglai first spoke to Hu Wenzhi, he spoke Chinese, but what the other party heard was translated Japanese, that is to say
At that time, the "defamation" was in effect, and when Sun Yixie rushed to the scene later, he said "Hey? What's going on? Brother Huang, I seem to hear someone speaking in our Central Plains dialect?" fell into Hu Wenzhi's ears.
Chinese is directly in Chinese. What's going on?
The key here is that when Huang Donglai first communicated with Murakami and Hu Wenzhi, he did not know that Hu Wenzhi was from the Central Plains. Until Hu Wenzhi said the words admitting that he was from the Central Plains, Huang Donglai was only suspicious at most, so Huang Donglai's subjective consciousness at that time
He was still talking to Japanese people, and as long as he had this awareness, what Hu Wenzhi heard would be in Japanese, whether he was Huang Donglai's direct counterpart or a third party.
And what Sun Yixie shouted when he ran over was to Huang Donglai. On this occasion, if there are Japanese people around who don't understand Chinese, those Japanese people will still hear Japanese, but because Hu Wenzhi is from the Central Plains
At this time, as a third party, when he hears what Brother Sun said in his subjective consciousness, "Central Plains people speak to Central Plains people", he will hear Chinese.
So, let me ask you a question here. What would happen if there was a "Japanese who understands Chinese" present?
The answer is——
When Shuangxi didn't know that the Japanese knew Chinese, they spoke directly to the Japanese, and what he heard was Japanese. When they spoke to another Japanese near the Japanese, what the Japanese heard was still Japanese.
Japanese, but when they speak to someone near the Japanese who they clearly know is a Central Plains person or someone who can speak Chinese, the Japanese who understands Chinese will hear Chinese.
And when Shuangxi knows that the Japanese understands Chinese, it does not matter whether the Japanese is their direct conversation partner or a third party (as a third party, if the person Shuangxie is talking to is a Japanese, Shuangxi still needs to know that he is present)
), you will hear Chinese.
Does the setting description I mentioned above sound a bit like "K language"?
Anyway, you will understand if you understand it, and it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand it, because this matter is actually not very important. Here is a reminder for those readers who prefer to ponder the details, in order to prevent Hayato Kamo from appearing again in some situations later.
When a similar situation occurs, you will have a tangled feeling that you have not pooped cleanly.
Back to business...
"Since you knew it was us just by looking at the weapons, do you still need me to tell you what happened again?" Hu Wenzhi answered Sun Yixie's question in a manner that was neither condescending nor condescending.
"Tsk..." But everyone knows Sun Yixie. He has his usual routine after taking control of the situation. "We will tell you and explain it to yourself. Do you know there is a difference in nature?"
This is not the first time that Brother Sun has said this formula. Of course, this formula also has some meaning...
As the saying goes, "The more you talk, the more likely you are to make mistakes." If you let a person answer for himself, he will often "have to tell something no matter what."
Then you have to ask: "How can you say something is wrong when nothing is wrong?"
Then I could only answer: "It's just because it's okay now. If you say that... wouldn't something happen?"
Anyway, everyone is familiar with this term, right...
"Okay..." At this moment, Hu Wenzhi was so fooled by Sun Yixie, and he really started to explain while thinking about it.
In fact, Hu Wenzhi and Murakami's plan was very simple: on the day of the assassination of Zhutian, because Hu Wenzhi had the ability to use ear skills to detect the movements of Zhutian from a long distance, he and Murakami decided from the beginning not to step into Chuanpengzhuang;
The two of them had been cat-catting in the forest outside the hotel wall since the afternoon, patiently waiting for an opportunity to find themselves alone in the bamboo field. When the opportunity came, they only had to find a suitable wall, climb up, and then throw themselves off the wall.
Take out the iron weight and take Zhutian away, and then walk away.
The advantage of this plan is that the two of them don't have to show up in front of others from beginning to end. As long as during the killing, that is, in those short few seconds, no one nearby happens to witness the murder (with Hu Wenzhi's ear skills).
Exploration, this is also guaranteed to a certain extent), then they can retreat calmly after it is done, and even if Takeda's body is discovered immediately and causes a commotion in the hotel, it will not be a big problem... because after seeing that kind of "
After "blunt injury", the investigators' first reaction must be "Takeda was beaten to death from close range." On this basis, the first person they will suspect and investigate is undoubtedly the people in the hotel.
Even if the investigator guesses that "the murderer climbed over the wall and ran away after killing everyone," they will still think that the murderer is a hotel employee or a guest with a check-in record, because normally, only by entering the hotel in advance can they lock and track Takeda and find him.
The time to start.
Unless Kumagai can guess out of thin air that "someone can lock Takeda's location from outside the hotel wall and launch long-range attacks that are the same as melee bludgeoning injuries", he will not deduce that "the murderer has no clue from the beginning to the end."
People who have entered the hotel" such a conclusion.
So, that afternoon, Hu Wenzhi and Murakami began to act according to the plan.
What was slightly beyond Hu Wenzhi's expectation was that the VIP suite where Takeda and Kumagaya were located had separate toilets. That place was not connected to an external wall, so the supposedly ideal assassination opportunity of "Takeda went to the toilet" no longer existed.
Of course, we all know that even if the VIP room does not have a separate toilet, Hu Wenzhi and the others can't do it, because from the afternoon to the evening of that day, Huang Donglai basically "stationed" in the ordinary toilet of the hotel. If Zhutian really went to use the ordinary toilet,
There is always a witness nearby.
In this way, they waited until midnight. Just when Hu Wenzhi thought that there might be no chance that day, Zhutian came to the door himself.
This matter can only be said to be fate...
That day, Takeda and Kumagai were in a good mood after talking about things, so they had a banquet together until late at night. Later, Kumagai went back to his room to rest, but Taketa was still very excited and didn't want to go to bed, so he invited a few girls to the room to keep him company.
After the clouds and rain, Zhutian was sweating all over and had woken up a little from the wine. He wanted to take a bath and sweat before going to sleep.
And because he had just finished errands at the moment, all his followers had been sent outside by him before, and he just wanted to wash up and go to sleep, so he didn't deliberately run outside to ask others to follow him, but he just
Go out from the corridor at the back door of the VIP room, pass through the wooden cabin where you change clothes, and go to the pool to take a dip.
He didn't expect that once he left, he wouldn't be able to come back.
Hu Wenzhi and Murakami were also very cautious and calm. After Takeda entered the hot spring alone, they did not take action immediately.
I've been waiting for this moment, no less than an hour and a half.
In order to avoid unexpected situations such as the opponent's "instinctive reaction when being attacked head-on" to dodge the attack, or the fact that he turned his head slightly and missed the kill, they waited for a few more minutes until Takeda came out of the pool and turned around to leave.
Only then did he take action.
Facts also proved that their caution was correct, because it was already late at night, and the sound transmission effect was better than during the day, so Murakami's "locking sickle" made a certain noise before it was shot and when it broke through the air... This noise was
The source of the surprised expression on Takeda's face, but because the attack came from behind, Takeda couldn't dodge even if he realized something.
"Hmm... It seems that you two are quite professional." After hearing Hu Wenzhi finish telling the details of the assassination, Sun Yixie pondered thoughtfully, and then said, "Isn't this the first time you've done this?"
"Oh, that's right." Hu Wenzhi smiled and did not deny it, "I am a martial arts practitioner who left my hometown and left my hometown in this war-torn place. If I don't do this kind of thing, what else can I do?" He said,
Then he glanced in the direction outside the house, "I can either do things for others in exchange for reward, or I can do the same thing as the villagers here and do things that cost money and kill people."
"Oh...doing things for someone, right?" Sun Yixie quickly captured the most critical words in this sentence, then paused and said in a serious tone, "For whom?"
Look, isn't this just saying something out of nothing?
"Mr. Araki!" At this moment, Murakami couldn't help it any longer. He quickly spoke out, "These people are either Maori or nuns. We can't betray them just to survive..."
"Hahahaha..." Unexpectedly, before Murakami finished speaking, Keijiro laughed and interrupted him, "Uncle, when you say this, doesn't it mean you are admitting that you are a member of the Miyoshi clan?"
Murakami was stunned again by the other party's little attention.
You may have felt it after reading this. Whether it was the previous misunderstanding with Huang Donglai or the repeated overreaction and exposure of Keijiro's words, it all shows the fact that Murakami's brain is not very good.
Judging from the background of the times at that time, Murakami was definitely not an ordinary fool for the Miyoshi clan to arrange for Hu Wenzhi, an "outsider" from the Central Plains, to be his boss; as long as he was a little normal, given his age and
Given his background, he should be the one to lead Hu Wenzhi.
"Alas..." Two seconds later, Hu Wenzhi sighed, "Mr. Murakami, what do you want me to say?"
At this point, it is useless to say anything. Everyone knows what the current situation of the three families, Maori, Nizi and Miyoshi, is. Hu Wenzhi and Murakami have killed a person who is very important to the Maori family. Murakami will make another unintentional elimination.
Fa, you can tell with your buttocks that they are here to disrupt the situation for the Miyoshi family.
"Ha!" Sun Yixie was also happy and blurted out at that time, "So there are ninjas as mentally retarded as you?"
As soon as these words came out, Hu Wenzhi was slightly shocked.
Information was underdeveloped at that time, and people in the Central Plains knew very little about overseas customs and customs. Much of the information would become distorted after being circulated. Even Hu Wenzhi did not know what a "ninja" was until long after he came to Japan.
But at this moment, Sun Yixie revealed Murakami's identity as a "ninja" as soon as he opened his mouth. This shows that he not only knows about "ninja", but also has a considerable understanding of it.
"You..." Murakami's performance remained stable, "How did you know..."
"Do you still know this?" Sun Yixie didn't even have to wait for him to finish speaking, "Look at the props you are carrying, it's obvious at a glance."
This is true. After subduing Hu Wenzhi and Murakami just now, Sun and Huang took away all the weapons in Murakami's hands. If they were to disarm them anyway, Murakami's other gadgets hidden in his clothes must also be confiscated.
.
As for these props, in the eyes of Sun Yixie, the successor of "Unlimited Martial Arts", it is natural that he can guess their purpose at a glance.
"Your Excellency is indeed very knowledgeable." Hu Wenzhi saw that the situation was not good. In order to prevent Murakami from being manipulated by Sun Yixie, he quickly interrupted, "So... Could it be that you are also a member of the Yellow Clan?"
"What are you doing?" Sun Yixie heard this, turned around and said with a smile, "You were afraid that I would trick you, a ninja brother, into telling you what to say, so you interrupted our conversation and tried to trick me about my identity, right?"
Hu Wenzhi was speechless when he saw that his intentions were instantly seen through.
"Okay, Brother Hu, don't struggle anymore." Huang Donglai also joined the conversation at the right time and started to talk, "I might as well say it bluntly, we are not working for some profit or money.
Yes, from just now until now, you two have been overreacting and acting guilty, which has led to constant conflicts with us..." He paused, "But now that the matter has come to this, if you still want to escape unscathed
, then you have to give me a reason to let you leave alive."
Hu Wenzhi also understood the account Huang Donglai mentioned.
What happened tonight can only be said to be a coincidence. From the initial misunderstanding and conflict with Huang Donglai, to the two sides testing each other's identities as Central Plains people, to Sun Yixie's unintentional exposure, Keijiro's words, and Murakami's
An overreaction, so to speak... As long as there is one missing link, neither party will reach this point.
Now that Hu Wenzhi and Murakami's identities as subordinates of the Miyoshi clan have been exposed, and they also know the identity of the Shuangxie Zhongyuan people, from the perspective of Shuangxie, if they let them go, then if they go back and report this matter to their superiors
, isn’t it an extraneous problem?
It's okay if it's okay. If the Sanhao Army has some doubts about the purpose of these two Central Plains masters and launches an investigation, or if this information is passed to other daimyo, will it affect their mission in the future?
It's hard to say...
If the positions were reversed today, assuming that Hu Wenzhi came to help Emperor Dashu, and then met two Japanese warlord spies who discovered his identity as a Central Plains man, then he would not hesitate at all, and it would be safest to kill and silence them.
"How about we make a deal?" Hu Wenzhi thought for a moment and then said to Huang Donglai, "As long as you let us go today, we will neither tell nor inquire about your affairs; and what we do, you
And don’t let it reach the ears of Maori or Nizi troops, is this fair?”
"It's nothing!" Before Huang Donglai responded, Sun Yixie jumped up first, "What kind of excuse is the murder in Chuanpengzhuang? Even if you go to the Maori army to surrender now, people may not pay attention to you."
"That's right." Huang Donglai immediately added, "This condition... is not enough and inappropriate."
"How about..." Hu Wenzhi said again, "Your Excellency, you can use your Huangmen's poison technique to give us a poison that won't happen in a short period of time, as a guarantee?"
I have to say that this Hu Wenzhi is brave and resourceful. Anyway, his and Murakami's lives are in the hands of others at the moment. Compared with dying immediately tonight, the condition of "being blackmailed with the antidote" is completely acceptable.
Yes.
"Oh~ that's so troublesome." Huang Donglai said, "If you really do this, do you mean that after we finish the work, we will have to come back to help you detoxify, or find a way to deliver the antidote to you?"
"Oh? Have you already thought of that step?" Hu Wenzhi said in a slightly surprised tone, "So you are really trustworthy people... Generally speaking, under these conditions, you should worry about how to detoxify afterwards.
We are the one who was poisoned, right?"
"Ha!" At this time, Sun Yixie interrupted with a smile, "What is generally speaking? Generally speaking... if I were you, when I offered to let the other party poison me as a guarantee in exchange for temporary freedom
At that time, I had already thought about it. As soon as I escape tonight, I will immediately go to bring in reinforcements. Then I will lead people back to catch these poisoners and force them to hand over the antidote immediately."
His words once again exposed the "best strategy" Hu Wenzhi had in mind.
Hu Wenzhi also gradually discovered that the more he talked with the two young people in front of him, the more he felt frightened - the sophistication of these two guys in "judging all other people's actions with a villain's heart" made Lao Hu feel inferior to him.
"Hey, Kameda-san, how can you say that..." A few seconds later, Huang Donglai raised his eyebrows again and took over Brother Sun's words, "We are chivalrous people and we keep our words."
Hu Wenzhi was shocked by the hypocrisy of this sentence. At that time, his scalp was numb again. He trembled and tried to continue the negotiation: "Then what do you think is the 'enough' condition to let us go?
"
"Well..." Huang Donglai pretended to think for a while, and then said, "If you are willing to give us some other information, let us pick a few that sound valuable, enough to threaten your grasp.
That’s easy to say.”
"What do you want to know?" Hu Wenzhi asked again, "Also...even if I am willing to tell you, are you sure that what I am telling you is the truth?"
"Ha... that's easy." Sun Yixie smiled and took over, "Wouldn't it be enough to ask you and Murakami separately and intersperse some of the same questions?"
