Hu Wenzhi is a person who knows current affairs.
A sophisticated and intelligent man.
Maybe 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.
So, after briefly weighing the pros and cons, he quickly reached a "reconciliation" with Shuangxie and Keijiro.
When I say "reconciliation", you can also pronounce these two words as "surrender".
As for this account, it is not difficult to calculate that my companion Murakami has been captured by his opponent. He is one against two, and one of them is a member of the Huangmen who is famous for his "light skills, poison, and hidden weapons." , the other one who uses the spear 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 good to be able to fight to the death 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 took Hu Wenzhi under guard. He and Murakami returned 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 bodies on the ground, and then they went back to the next door so calmly. Aren't they afraid of alarming other villagers?
Do you think other villagers are good people? We all belong to the same village. A traveler who stayed overnight in a certain family in the village disappeared mysteriously at night. Do the neighbors know? What's going on?
To put it bluntly, the six or seven guys before were just "those responsible for doing things." This village occasionally stabbed passers-by, killed people, and stole property. In fact, The whole village is involved, and you don’t have to participate even if you don’t want to.
This is how this village survives in this chaotic era. They themselves are oppressed and robbed by bandits, soldiers, or those tyrannical people, and then turn around to rob those who are weaker than themselves. No one thinks there is anything wrong with this, or even if they know it is wrong, they will gradually be forced by reality and have to act in this way.
"Tell me, how do you do it in Chuanpengzhuang?" As soon as Sun Yixie sat down, he asked Hu Wenzhi directly.
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 in Chinese, but what the other party heard was a translation. The latter Japanese, that is to say, the "Kelu Xun Defamation" was in effect at that time, 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." When it fell into Hu Wenzhi’s ears, it was 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, Hu Wenzhi, whether he was the direct object of Huang Donglai's conversation or a third party, would hear Japanese.
The sentence Sun Yixie shouted when he ran over was directed at Huang Donglai. On this occasion, if there are Japanese people around who don't understand Chinese, those Japanese will still hear it. Japanese, but because Hu Wenzhi is from the Central Plains, as a third party, he will hear Chinese when he hears what Brother Sun said in his subjective consciousness when "a Central Plains person speaks to a Central Plains person".
So, let me ask you a question here. What would happen if there was a "Japanese who understands Chinese" here?
The answer is:
When Shuangxi didn’t know that the Japanese understood Chinese, they spoke directly to the Japanese and the Japanese heard Japanese. When they spoke to another Japanese near the Japanese, the Japanese listened. It is still Japanese, but when they speak to a person 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.
When Shuangxi knows that the Japanese understands Chinese, whether the Japanese is their direct conversation partner or a third party, if the Shuangxie conversation partner is a Japanese, then Shuangxie will still As long as you know that he is present, you will hear Chinese.
The settings description I mentioned above sounds a bit like "K language"
Anyway, you will understand it if you understand it. It doesn't matter if you don't understand it, because this matter In fact, it's not very important. I just mention it here for those viewers who prefer to ponder the details, so as to prevent you from having a tangled feeling that you haven't pooped cleanly when similar situations happen in some subsequent occasions when Kamo Hayato appears again.
Back to business
"Since you knew it was us as soon as you saw the weapons, do you still need me to tell you the story again?" Hu Wenzhi faced Sun Yixie's question, The answer was neither humble nor arrogant.
"Tsk" But everyone knows Sun Yixie. He has his usual routine after taking control of the situation. "We will speak out and explain it to you. Do you know the difference in nature?"
This is not the first time that Brother Sun has said this phrase. Of course, this phrase also has some meaning
As the saying goes, "the more you say, the more you will be wrong." If you let a When people explain themselves, they often "have to say something no matter what."
Then you want to ask, "How can I say something is wrong when nothing is wrong?"
Then I can only answer, "It's just because nothing is wrong now. Doesn't it mean that something happened if I say nothing?" "
Anyway, everyone is familiar with this term, right?
"Okay." At this moment, Hu Wenzhi was so frightened by Sun Yixie, and he really started to talk while thinking about it.Replacing.
In fact, the plan of Hu Wenzhi and Murakami was very simple. On the day of the assassination of Zhutian, Hu Wenzhi had the ability to detect the movements of Zhutian from a long distance by using ear skills, so he and Murakami decided not to take a step from the beginning. Stepping into Sichuan Pengzhuang, the two of them have been cats in the forest outside the hotel wall since the afternoon, patiently waiting for an opportunity to leave the bamboo field alone. When the opportunity comes, they only need to find a suitable wall and climb up. , then threw the iron weight from the wall and took Zhutian away, and then walked away.
The advantage of this plan is that the two of them do not have to show up in front of others from beginning to end. As long as no one nearby happens to witness the murder during the killing, that is, in those short few seconds. Hu Wenzhi's ear skills were used to detect the process, which was guaranteed to a certain extent. After that, they could retreat calmly. Even if Takeda's body was discovered immediately and caused a commotion in the hotel, it would not be a big problem because after seeing After that kind of "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 in the hotel. people.
Even if the investigators guess that "the murderer climbed over the wall and ran away after killing the people," they will still think that the murderer is a hotel employee or a guest with a check-in record, because normally, one can only enter the hotel in advance. Only then can we lock and track Takeda and find the opportunity to strike.
Unless Kumagai can guess out of thin air that "someone can lock Takeda's location from outside the hotel wall and launch a long-range attack that is the same as melee bludgeoning damage," he will not launch " The murderer is someone who has never entered the hotel from beginning to end."
So, that afternoon, Hu Wenzhi and Murakami began to act according to the plan.
What was a little unexpected for Hu Wenzhi was that the VIP suite where Takeda and Kumagaya were located had separate toilets. That place was not connected to the external wall, so "Takeda went to the toilet" was an ideal opportunity for assassination. No longer exists.
Of course, we all know that even if the VIP room did not have a separate toilet, Hu Wenzhi and the others would not be able to do it, because from the afternoon to the evening of that day, Huang Donglai basically "stationed" in the ordinary toilet of the hotel, Zhutian If you really go to use an ordinary toilet, there will always be 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 the matter, so the two of them had a banquet together until very late; later, Kumagai returned to his room After resting, Zhutian was still very excited and didn't want to go to bed, so he asked a few girls to come to the room to keep him company.
After a while, Zhutian was sweating all over and had sobered 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, and he just wanted to wash up and go to bed, so he didn't deliberately run away again.He went outside and asked someone to follow him, but he just walked out of the corridor at the back door of the VIP room, passed through the wooden cabin where he changed clothes, and went to soak in the pool.
He did not expect that once he left, he would not 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, and it’s no less than an hour and a half.
In order to avoid unexpected situations such as the opponent relying on "instinct reaction when being attacked head-on" to dodge the attack, or failing to kill him with one hit due to a slight turn of the head, they waited for a few more minutes until Takeda came out of the pool. He came out and turned around to leave before making a move.
Facts also proved that their caution was correct, because it was late at night and the sound propagation effect was better than during the day, so Murakami's "locking sickle" emitted a certain sound before it was shot and when it broke through the air. The movement 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 had realized something.
"Well, it seems that you two are quite professional." After hearing Hu Wenzhi finish explaining the details of the assassination, Sun Yixie pondered thoughtfully, and then said, "This is not the first time I have done this. "Yeah, that's right." Hu Wenzhi smiled and did not deny it, "I am a martial arts practitioner who has left his hometown and is in this war-torn place. How can I still do this if I don't do it?" What are you doing?" He said and glanced in the direction outside the house, "I can either do things for others in exchange for rewards, or I can do the same thing as the villagers here and do things that cost money and kill people. "< /p>
"Oh, you are doing things for others, 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 a matter of saying something out of nothing
"Mr. Araki" At this moment, Murakami on the side couldn't help it anymore, and he hurriedly spoke out , "These people are either Maori or Nizi. We can't sell them out just to survive."
"Hahahaha" Unexpectedly, before Murakami finished speaking, Keijiro interrupted with a laugh. He asked him, "Uncle, when you say this, doesn't it mean that you are admitting that you are a member of the Miyoshi clan?"
Murakami was stunned again by the other party's point.
Everyone may have felt it after seeing 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 good. It works so well.
Based on the background of the time, for the Miyoshi clan to arrange for Hu Wenzhi, an "outsider" from the Central Plains, to be his boss, this Murakami is definitely not an ordinary idiot; as long as he is slightly normal One thing, given his age and 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 that Maori, Nizi andWhat is the current situation of the three Miyoshi families? Hu Wenzhi and Murakami killed a person who was very important to the Mouri family. If Murakami uses another method of elimination without causing trouble, then everyone will know 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 he said this, 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. A lot of information would be distorted after being circulated. Even Hu Wenzhi did not know what a "ninja" was until long after he came to Japan. of.
But Sun Yixie revealed Murakami's identity as a "ninja" as soon as he opened his mouth. This showed that he not only knew about "ninja", but also had a considerable understanding of it.
"You" and Murakami's performance is still stable, "How do you know?"
"Do you know this?" Sun Yixie didn't even have to wait for him to finish speaking, " It’s obvious from the tools you carry.”
This is true. After subduing Hu Wenzhi and Murakami just now, Sun and Huang took away all the weapons in Murakami’s hands. Anyway, to disarm, 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 "Unrestricted Martial Arts", it is obvious that they can be used by analogy, and he can guess the 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 it means that you are also a member of the Yellow Clan." < /p>
Hu Wenzhi was speechless when he saw that his intentions were instantly seen through.
"Okay, Brother Hu, don't struggle any more." Huang Donglai also joined the conversation at the right time and began to talk, "I might as well say it bluntly, we just don't care. You are not working for some profit or money. 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 If you still want to escape unscathed, then you have to give me a reason to let you leave alive."
Hu Wenzhi also understood what Huang Donglai said.
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 and celebration. Jiro's words and Murakami's overreaction, it can be said that if there is a 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, what if they go back? How about reporting this matter to the superior?It’s not an extraneous incident
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 spread to other daimyo, follow-up will be It's hard to say whether it will affect their mission.
If the positions were reversed today, let's say 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 will not hesitate at all, it is definitely the safest way to kill and silence.
"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; Don’t let what we do reach the ears of Maori or Ni Zijun people. This is fair.”
“It’s just Mao.” 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 point The conditions are not sufficient and inappropriate."
"How about," Hu Wenzhi said again, "You can use your Huangmen poison technique to inflict poison on us that will not cause an attack in a short period of time. "This is 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, "being used to explain" Conditions such as "drug blackmail" are completely acceptable.
"Oh, that's a lot of trouble." Huang Donglai said, "If you really do this, it means that after we finish the work, we will have to come again to help you detoxify, or find a way to deliver the antidote to you."< /p>
"Oh, Your Excellency, you have 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. It belongs to the one who poisoned us, right?"
"Ha" at this time, Sun Yixiao interrupted with a smile, "What do you mean, generally speaking, if I were you, when I took the initiative to propose When I asked the opponent to poison me as a guarantee in exchange for temporary freedom, I had already thought about it. As soon as I escaped tonight, I would immediately go to bring in reinforcements, and then I would lead people back to catch these poisoners and force them to do it. They immediately handed over the antidote."
His words once again exposed the "best strategy" in Hu Wenzhi's mind.
Hu Wenzhi also gradually discovered that the more he chatted with the two young people in front of him, the more frightening he felt about how sophisticated these two guys were in "judging all other people's actions with a villain's heart." Let Lao Hu feel inferior to himself.
"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."
p>
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 tell me, what can we do to let us go?" Conditions"
"This"Well," Huang Donglai pretended to think for a while, and then said, "If you are willing to give us some more information and let us pick a few that sound valuable and enough to threaten you, then it will be okay." . "
"What do you want to know?" Hu Wenzhi asked again, "And even if I am willing to tell you, can you be sure that what I am telling you is the truth?"
"Oh, that's simple. . Sun Yixie smiled and took over the conversation again, "Wouldn't it be enough to ask you and Murakami separately and intersperse some of the same questions?",
