The moonlight was in the sky, and there was a chilling atmosphere in Jinling City.
At this time, Sang transformed into a crow and stayed on the eaves. Looking at the mansion of a high-ranking official not far away, they were still drinking and drinking, and his eyes gradually turned cold.
Whenever he thought that Zhao Yue's life or death was uncertain, and Qian Pianpian was imprisoned somewhere, he felt a chill in his heart.
What chilled him the most was that the people who did all this were not Japanese people, but...his own people!
In the midst of a national crisis, there are some bad apples who, in order to leave a good escape route for themselves, wantonly amass money without any regard for whether the people at the grassroots level can live with food and clothing.
When the time was nearly eight o'clock, there was a faint fluctuation in the white spell.
Sang followed the guidance of the talisman and soon arrived on a hillside outside Jinling City.
At this moment, under the big tree, Ozaki Hidemoto and the young onmyoji were standing there.
And looking at the entire hillside, there is no one else around.
Sang slowly landed on the ground, recovered his body, and looked at Ozaki Hidemoto and the young Onmyoji:
"You didn't ambush here. It seems... this matter really has nothing to do with you."
Ozaki Hidemoto smiled bitterly and said:
"Taoist priest, I'm sorry."

"I didn't know that the situation in our country would suddenly become like this!"
"It can only be said that...some hardliners suddenly began to occupy high-level positions, so..."
Sang waved his hand:
"Let's talk about the Chamber of Commerce first. What's going on?"
Ozaki Hidemoto sighed and finally revealed his plan:
"Actually, at the beginning, I originally wanted to use the convenience of my position to connect anti-war people in our country with the Jinling Chamber of Commerce."
"Although the Qian family is an 'Annei' faction, they are also people who are sincere in doing practical things."
"With the Taoist priest's help, his position has changed."
"I originally thought that after this route was opened, if any radical and cruel policies appeared in our country, I could pass the news to you through this commercial route."
"It's just...I underestimated two things."

Sang frowned, but did not interrupt Ozaki Hidemoto's words.
Ozaki Hidemoto showed a hint of weakness:
"First, I underestimated the madness of domestic fanatics."
"My Ozaki family has actually been squeezed out by the current senior management."
"The reason is because our family has always advised the emperor not to engage in a war of aggression."
"Originally, His Majesty the Emperor was concerned about the power of our Ozaki family, so he was willing to balance the situation."
"However, as the profits in the three northeastern provinces are getting higher and higher, His Majesty the Emperor finally can't stand it any longer."
"So... the fanatics have come to power."
"They made a lot of crazy strategies, and even I felt very scared when I saw them."
"So, I was eager to pass on the information to the Qian family, and accidentally exposed some flaws."
Site: Tower ^ reads novels, welcome to download - ^
"This flaw was not discovered by people from our country, but by...an officer from Jinling."
Sang's pupils shrank: "You mean...someone is using this matter as an excuse!"
Ozaki Hidemoto nodded:
"I'm also very sorry. I had good intentions."
"I don't want to see my country do such inhumane things."
"It's just that...someone in the Jinling City military is coveting the Qian family's property and made a fuss about my matter."
"That's my second point."
"I underestimated... the greed of some 'Annei' faction in Jinling City."
"Commander Zhang and Wu Changsheng, who died before, are really good people compared with these people!"
"So, the Chamber of Commerce exploded!"
Site: Tower ^ reads novels, welcome to download - ^
"Our people died directly in the war."
Ozaki Hidemoto laughed at himself:
"It is quite ironic to say that the person who was killed by the Jinling City officer was actually a representative of the peace faction in our country who constantly prevents war and aggression."
"well……"
After hearing this, Sang finally understood.
To put it bluntly, Ozaki Hidemoto's family is a peace-loving family.
They are willing to expose the ugly side of their country from the perspective of justice and humanity.
This is obviously a powerful means that, if manipulated properly, can gain international support.
However, they were used as weight by people from Jinling City, and they killed Zhao Xiaocheng and Cai Yuzhe openly, and by the way, they also captured the two most important core figures of the Qian family.
At this time, Sang looked at Ozaki Hidemoto, his eyes changed slightly:

"So, the first time you met me, you showed your kindness to me."
Ozaki Hidemoto nodded:
"Our family is related to the Tsuchimikado family."
"So, I have also seen your portrait."
"Although the theory of reincarnation is illusory, I believe that none of this is a coincidence."
"Now that I've seen it, maybe... you can help... the peaceful people in our country who are struggling and take charge of the overall situation!"
"But... that's all, it's too late to say this now."
"His Majesty the Emperor's will is the final decision!"
With that said, Ozaki Hidemoto took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Sang:
"This is the information we originally wanted to submit to Zhao Yuecheng. The Taoist Master will review it first."

After Sang took it, he opened it and saw a few lines, and his expression suddenly changed!
“Human studies!”
"Jinling massacre!"
Seeing these scarlet words makes Sang's head tingle.
"Now you understand why we are all afraid of our own country." Ozaki Hidemoto said with a wry smile: "Now, we are determined to resist, but we are powerless."
"Our family is constantly being suppressed and liquidated in our own country!"
"Perhaps it won't be long before I return to Japan and will never be able to come to Kyushu again."
"Taoist Master, Zhao Yuecheng may not be able to spread this information."
"Now, I can only ask the Taoist Master."
"If this massacre plan is really implemented, it will be a tragedy for Kyushu."
"And that human body research unit... I just briefly read a little bit of their research projects, and I feel chills all over after seeing them."
"If we really do this, our country will one day be backfired by debts!"
"And... the Jiuju faction, which has been cooperating with the fanatic faction, has already begun to make plans."
"Their masters are coming to Kyushu one after another."
"At the same time, some hidden organizations are also involved, such as Koga-ryu and Iga-ryu ninjas!"
Sang took a deep breath, nodded solemnly, waved the fly whisk, cupped his hands and said:
"Thank you sir!"
At this moment, Sang truly believed in Ozaki Hidemoto.
It was also clear what kind of compassion this man, who was doing thankless things between his own country and Kyushu, had in his heart.
Ozaki Hidemoto waved his hand:
"Taoist priest, you're welcome, we..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden muffled sound!
Sang and Ozaki Hidemoto were stunned, and then looked at the young onmyoji beside them.
But he saw that a hole had appeared in the Onmyoji's chest!
"puff!"
The young Onmyoji looked at all this in disbelief: "There is... an ambush!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the young onmyoji fell straight into Ozaki Hidemoto's arms.
"Tsuchimikado-kun!"
"No!"
Ozaki Hidemoto's face was full of grief.
Sang immediately understood that it must have been his invitation that exposed the two of them.
However, what shocked Sang was that even he didn't see the flaw in the disguise!
However, no matter what methods these people use, they must be fanatics who want to launch the Jinling Massacre!
Thinking of this, Sang waved his sleeves and swayed his talisman, dragging the two of them directly away from the hillside.
And not long after they left, several people wearing ninja costumes appeared out of the darkness.
The eyes of these people were as fierce as eagle dogs. They did not think about Sang's technique, but kept sniffing the smells around them.
finally:
"There!"
"Chase!"

At this time, Sang turned into a paper crane with a talisman, carrying Ozaki Hidemoto and the seriously injured and dying young onmyoji to escape in the dark night.
After all, we don’t know the exact number of people on the other side, and there are snipers around. No matter how you think about it, it’s extremely disadvantageous.
"grown ups……"
The young onmyoji coughed up a mouthful of blood and looked at Sang's face with pain in his eyes: "Sir... I... I can't hold on anymore..."
"Please tell me, sir... sir... is this Abe Seimei?"
Sang immediately said: "Hold your breath and concentrate, protect your heart!"
"You are an Onmyoji. You should be able to do it using Onmyodo techniques."
The young onmyoji smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"My lord, when you say this, you know... the Tao of Yin and Yang..."
"It's just that... the Tsuchimikado family... has been suppressed a lot by... the Emperor in recent years..."
Tadu@ "Many methods... have been lost long ago..."
Sang's breath froze, and then he sighed.
At this moment, he understood that he could only watch this life die in front of him.
"It is true that I am not Abe Seimei. But...my clone is."
"He and I are two separate personalities from the same soul. Later, he had his own thinking. In the Edo period, he went to Japan under the pseudonym...Abe Seimei!"
The young onmyoji suddenly laughed:
"Haha... this... is enough..."
"Our Tsuchimikado...has been supporting us for so many years..."
"I just want to know... where my roots... are..."
"That's enough..."
As he spoke, the young onmyoji slowly closed his eyes. Even though Ozaki Hidemoto in front of him called desperately, he no longer had the strength to answer.
In the end, Ozaki Hidemoto helplessly watched the boy who protected him die in his arms.
"Tsuchimikado-kun, it was me who harmed you!" Ozaki Hidemoto was heartbroken.
Suddenly, several sounds broke through the air!
Sang's face changed, he didn't even look at it, and he dusted off his whisk.
In an instant, like a dragon's long whip, the flying objects were directly thrown away.
Taking a closer look, it's a ninja's kunai!
Ozaki Hidemoto's expression changed: "Taoist priest, this is a ninja from the Koga style!"
"They should have been invited by the Jiuju sect and came out of the secluded Ido Mountain!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sang's expression changed: "Be careful!"

In an instant, Sang couldn't care less about the dead young Onmyoji.
With his sleeve robe rolled up, he took Hidemoto Ozaki away from the talisman paper crane.
Almost in tandem, the paper cranes exploded!
Sang took Ozaki Hidemoto and landed on a big tree not far away.
Immediately, several figures appeared around.
Taking a closer look, I saw three men and one woman.
"Ozaki Hidemoto, you have let the country down." Among them, a man wielding two scythes showed his scarlet tongue and revealed a ferocious smile.
On the other side, there is a feminine man wearing a white robe with disheveled hair, and his exaggerated sleeves cover the corners of his mouth:
"Oh my, is this the Kyushu native who has colluded with you, Ozaki Hidemoto?"
"Is this... Taoist?"
"Not a Taoist." The monk holding a Zen staff said with a smile, "I have learned that this person should be from the Yinshan sect."
"Yinshan Sect? Is this the one who controls the ghosts?" Among the four, the only woman dressed in slutty clothes suddenly showed a charming smile.
A pair of eyes, like a fox demon, stared at Sang's body, looking up and down.
The sickle man sneered: "It's good. Not only did he eliminate the traitors of Tsuchimikado, but he also killed the next head of the Ozaki family, and even killed a master from Kyushu."
"Haha, we just came out of the mountain and we already have such great military exploits!"
"In this way, it will be easy for us to surpass those guys from the Forty-ninth Academy, hahahaha..."
The four great ninjas of Koga-ryu burst into triumphant laughter.
Ozaki Hidemoto said solemnly: "Taoist Master, leave me and leave quickly!"
"The information I gave you is the most important!"
Sang narrowed his eyes slightly, but said: "Mr. Ozaki, there is no need to be so pessimistic!"
"The little Taoist priest has lived for hundreds of years, but he really doesn't think that just four monkeys jumping out of the mountains can kill me!"
"Today I want to see what the methods of the Koga-ryu ninjas who were praised as gods during Japan's Warring States Period are up to!"
A little knowledge:
Generally speaking, there are two main schools of ninjas in Japan.
One of these schools is Koga-ryu.
In the early days, the ninjas of Koka-ryu served the princes of the Kyoto region of Japan, and later they served Oda Nobunaga.
However, after Oda Nobunaga was assassinated and died, the Koga-ryu ninjas, who had been glorious for more than ten years, began to keep a low profile.
In the subsequent Tokugawa shogunate era, although the imperial ninja of the shogunate was the Iga-ryu. However, the foundation of the Koga-ryu was still able to compete with it, so that the outcome was indistinguishable.
Therefore, many ninja stories have also been derived.
At the same time, the prototype of the Koka-ryu ninja is the practitioner of Mount Idō in this article. Mount Idō is one of the three major temples of the Tendai Sect of Japanese Buddhism. Most of the people here are farmers.

Therefore, Koga-ryu usually disguises himself as a farmer, and only carries out ninja assassinations when necessary.
Moreover, due to different ways of practicing, Koga-ryu is better at using poison and other assassination methods than Iga-ryu.
As for the representative characters of Koga-ryu, they are common in some anime.
There is a series called "The Ten Warriors of Sanada", one of whom is called Sarutobi Sasuke. This person is the representative master of the Koga-ryu sect.
