Jiaming arrived in Tokyo at two o'clock in the afternoon
Kaoru drove a car to pick him up, and drove him all the way from Haneda Airport to Yuechi's house. On the way, he pointed out the streets and scenery along the way.
, but her expression was also light, and her introduction was very concise. In fact, she had never cared about things like having fun. She had no interest in the hobbies of girls her age, such as shopping and buying famous brands on the street. At this time, she started to introduce her.
, even she herself didn’t know much about many things. Jiaming just smiled and listened and didn’t say anything. Although it was his first time in his life, he was actually very familiar with this place in Tokyo.
It's so familiar. In this way, when we arrived at the Yue Chi family's mansion, it was already about 3:30 in the afternoon.
Originally, he thought that Xun would prepare a room outside, or stay in a hotel directly. After seeing the tidy little courtyard, Jiaming was still stunned for a moment. He had an impression of this courtyard. Perhaps it could also be said that this was his impression of the courtyard.
This is the most impressive place in the Yuechi family.
I remember that he came to Yuechi's house as an undercover agent and met many people, including Tianyu Zhengze. When someone introduced this small courtyard to him for the first time, he still felt a little confused. As Tianyu Zhengze's fiancée, Yuechi
The daughter of the head of the family actually lived in such a messy little yard for eight years without leaving the house. Not long after, he saw the scene inside for the first and only time. Except for the living room and a small bedroom, all the rooms
Both were closed, and the furnishings of the two open houses were extremely simple. A woman named Kaoru was sitting in a dark and cold bedroom wearing a bright kimono, and cut her wrist. The blood spread on the ground. It looked like a huge
Sakura petals.
After the destruction of the Yuechi family, he simply forgot many things in the back of his mind. However, this desolate and beautiful scene in his eyes would occasionally come to mind. Maybe it was because the dead woman was too beautiful... He thought at the time.
"I live here."
After such a simple introduction, she led Jiaming into the newly tidied room. When she saw that there was a TV and comics, Jiaming couldn't help but laugh. He didn't bring much, so he put down his travel backpack and turned on the TV.
Then, he watched a Japanese channel that he hadn’t seen in many years. Kaoru gave him water to wash his face, and then walked around in the small yard.
The feeling of a small yard is obvious at a glance. The floor has been tidied up inside and out recently, and many places are still simple. The furniture used is old. In Zaiming's opinion, perhaps it is because there is no place to put the replaced furniture. The master bedroom is where he lives.
, this one was the only one. It was arranged in a completely different lively style. The small pond in the yard was crystal clear, and two small koi carps were swimming sickly in it. They were probably put in recently. They looked like they were about to die.
He looked dead. Standing at the door of Xun's small bedroom, Jia Ming looked at him in silence for a long time, while Xun stood beside him.
"Teacher, don't you want to take a break?" Hehe, I haven't even gotten to the point where I need to take a rest after taking a plane."
"Uh. Then... let me show the teacher to Yuechi's house?"
"That's fine..."
Whether it was Tokyo or the Yuechi family, maybe he was more familiar with it. With this thought, Jiaming finally nodded. Then, the two of them left the small courtyard and were led by Xun to visit.
.
Speaking of which, as an ancient ninja family, the Yuechi family's territory occupies a vast area. It is actually like a large village or castle. The people who live here are not all ninjas, mercenaries and the like.
, with the development of the times, many members of the Yuechi family have escaped the fate of ninjas and are responsible for other things, such as the famous Chiying Weaving in the outside world, and there are even people who develop into politics. In modern society, if
I'm afraid they won't be able to survive just by carrying out activities in the dark. Of course, for now, the tradition of ninjas is still the most important thing they uphold.
If it were in ancient times, this might be the most heavily guarded ninja house. However, with the development of recent decades, many things have changed. At this time, the Yuechi family is divided into two areas: the inner and outer areas.
It is a house where ordinary tribesmen live, such as those who are doing business, participating in politics, or some family members. There are defenses and warnings, but from the outside, it just looks like an ordinary modern village, with straight roads.
, gardens, villas with red tiles and white walls, etc. The inner layer is used for ninja training and the residence of core characters. To put it simply, this is a hiding place for a group of people with darker identities, including the head of the family, Chi Ying
Weaving, high-level political circles, and ninjas and mercenaries who conduct dark operations are heavily guarded. Various modern or old-fashioned defense systems can be seen almost everywhere in Ji Ming. A hidden surveillance camera, automatic or semi-automatic, is just three to five steps away.
Once the firearms, some secret doors, and the entrance to the underground passage are put into operation, this place will immediately become the most heavily defended fortress, and even birds may not be able to pass through freely.
Of course, the internal defense is naturally not that strict on weekdays. If people from outside want to come in, it is just to say hello. It is just like a factory. Since everyone knows each other, it is naturally a trivial matter to go in and take a look.
The courtyard where Xun lives naturally belongs to the inner area, but although it has not been registered or anything like that, at this time, Xun is leading it, as long as he tries to ignore the lot of hidden things, this building in the woods will be fine.
It does seem quiet and peaceful.
Just like the gravel paths, wooden or stone fences, and seemingly quaint Japanese-style buildings in rural villages, you can also see modern houses mixed in, cement squares, or beautiful buildings hidden among the trees.
Ceramic tile exterior walls, floor-to-ceiling glass doors and windows, and even a martial arts training ground with an elevator. The most important thing is probably the towering ancient trees that can be seen everywhere. Covered by tree shades, the lush and lush shades block the summer heat. The roads are as winding as possible, and you often walk on them.
When you turn the corner, you will be surprised to see some beautiful scenery, just like a Chinese garden with winding paths leading to seclusion. Of course, the feeling here is a bit cooler.
"That house is where everyone eats..."
"That's a martial arts training ground..."
"The head of the family and the elders work over there..."
"Miss Nakamura lives here, she is a doctor..."
"Down there is the weapons warehouse, and firearms training is also over there..."
"This used to be a garden. My mother liked to come here when she was still alive..."
It's not yet evening, I'm afraid most of the ninja practitioners have their own homework. The whole area seems quiet. As Xun walks, he introduces the surrounding things to Jiaming. This may be what she has said for many years.
The most common one was that there was a faint blush on her cheeks. Although she still had no obvious expression, she could still feel the joy in her heart. The two of them would occasionally encounter pedestrians and cars passing by, but they would also
Not even saying hello - this should be Xun's habit. Ming can call these people by their names. When passing by, you can feel the doubtful or surprised looks they cast. Xun's indifference is reflected in the entire Moon Pond.
I'm afraid no one knows about it.
"How is your relationship with your father?"
"You haven't talked to me recently." Xun shook her head lightly, but there was no hint of frustration in it. She obviously didn't care about this matter.
"How long?"
"Almost...a year and a half."
"What did you talk about last?"
Jiaming asked casually, but Xun was silent for a moment: "When I came back from winter vacation last year, he asked me about my situation in China...I didn't say anything."
"Oh..." Jia Ming nodded. The so-called asking about the situation in China was probably asking who she studied with in China. After walking like this for a while, Jia Ming said: "Do you still want to help the family?"
"I don't know..." Xun said softly, shaking his head, his eyes a little dazed, "They... let me get engaged to Tianyujun, and then they didn't ask for anything... I think... they didn't want it
I am..."
"Heh, it seems like this place is not suitable for you anymore. You might as well move out."
"Gu Jun...do you want me to leave here?"
"But this is also very difficult. You don't have any goals. At least you have someone to look after you if you live here. If you live outside, you might just turn the place into a doghouse without anyone looking after you. It's not suitable at Tianyu's house either. His girlfriend
She is very powerful in this area. Even though you know her, there is no guarantee that she won’t be jealous..."
It is very difficult to make Xun independent. Maybe Tianyu Zhengze will have to worry about it in the future. Just like Dongfang Lu, if they are just friends, there will not be too much serious involvement. After all, this guy is still aboveboard in terms of personal ethics.
, trustworthy. He smiled and patted Xun on the shoulder. At this time, several people suddenly rushed over from the opposite side: "What are you doing!"
Wearing a white training uniform and holding a long Japanese sword in his hand, the person leading the way was Buntaro. It had been so long ago that he had noticed someone there earlier, and Jia Ming didn't pay too much attention. Then he turned his head and looked.
She recognized him, and knew to some extent his feelings for Xun. The angry gaze that she felt staring at him at this moment, and the awe-inspiring murderous intent could be explained. At that moment, she just smiled and took back the hand that was on Xun's shoulder.
: "Hello."
"Who are you!" Ignoring Jia Ming's kind expression, Buntaro pressed one hand on the hilt of the sword. Although he was in training clothes, in order to pursue cruelty and authenticity, when everyone had a certain degree of control,
, kendo training mostly involves using real swords. Seeing how angry he was at this moment, if Xun hadn't been blocking the front slightly, he might have been unable to hold back and slashed over...
