"Did you find anything?" Zhao Guoqing asked.

Susan and the others arrived first and had already conducted a general reconnaissance of this place, but they were very disappointed.

"You would never think of it, none of the ninja martial arts halls here are real ninjas, they are all playing tricks, just a bunch of liars." Wang Dahai replied.

Wang Xiaohai followed: "You can go out for a walk after dawn, the street is full of tourists and fake ninjas. Those fake ninjas still claim to be masters of the Koga faction, but I can guarantee that they can't even beat ordinary special forces, and none of them are even real warriors! ”

"Ah, how is that possible?" Stephen exclaimed in surprise.

Zhao Guoqing didn't say anything.

In a way, ninjas are ancient spies and agents, they are not always dressed in black and armed with a katana, but more often they are ordinary people such as monks and merchants, and they only reveal their ninja identity when needed.

It is undeniable that Shiga Prefecture is full of swindling in the name of ninjas, but who can guarantee that there are no real ninjas among these people?

Maybe a homeless man on the street is a ninja master, so there must be no carelessness.

"I don't think we can get any clues here, so let's set off tomorrow to find the temple on the map, and there may be new clues." Danny opened his mouth to speak, and after a slight pause, he continued, "The shop here is a native and familiar with the surrounding terrain. I have already negotiated with him and he is willing to be our guide and is always available to take us to the temples on the map. ”

"How can you reveal the purpose of our visit?" Stephen exclaimed disgruntlingly.

Danny replied disappreciatively, "I didn't say anything, but gave him a picture of the temple and told him that we were all like people and wanted to go to the temple to pay respects." ”

Stephen was at ease, but he was still a little dissatisfied with Danny's approach.

Danny smiled and continued, "You'll see him later at dinner, he knows a lot of ninja legends, if you want to hear some ninja stories, just ask him, he'll tell you." ”

Stephen's face immediately showed excitement again.

Dinner was very simple, the restaurant originally prepared the signature sushi of the island country for Zhao Guoqing and others, but Zhao Guoqing didn't like this sashimi problem, and finally only needed a bowl of beef.

The shopkeeper is a man in his forties, with an honest appearance with a square head and big ears, and a smile always on his face, it is easy to gain people's trust, but Zhao Guoqing has a natural vigilance against this kind of person.

Because it was the first time I met Zhao Guoqing and Stephen, the shopkeeper said enthusiastically: "My name is Oda Shinzo, thank you very much for coming to the shop, you can come to me no matter what you need!" ”

Zhao Guoqing just smiled slightly, and he could be regarded as coping with the past.

Stephen was full of interest and said to Oda Shinzo, "I heard that you know a lot of legends about ninjas? ”

Oda Shinzo also came to the rescue, and immediately responded: "Of course! I'm a native of Shiga Prefecture, and this is the birthplace of the Koga ninja, so I know any legends about the Koga ninja! ”

"Then have you ever heard of a ninja named Fuji Taiha?" Stephen asked, wanting to get some clues about his grandfather.

Speaking of Fuji Taro, Oda Shinzo said with a face full of adoration: "Of course, who here doesn't know about Fuji Taihao? He was the greatest ninja of the last century, a hero of Shiga Prefecture, and almost everyone who grew up here made Fuji Taiyo-sama their idol. As he spoke, he suddenly stopped, squinted at Stephen and smiled, "Little brother, you must have heard the legend of Fujitaro before you came here, right?" ”

Stephen just wanted to say that Fuji Taiyun was his grandfather, but Zhao Guoqing took the lead and said, "Yes." We're all ninja mysteries, and Fuji Tai is a legendary figure among the modern Koga ninjas, so we came to this place to find something good at Fuji Tai Hao, such as a good story or something he used. ”

Oda Shinzo nodded and said, "If you want a good story, then what I have here is that I can't finish telling the legend of Fuji Tai Yu even if it is dawn." But... If you want to find something that Fujitai-sama used, then you will be disappointed, because it is all treasures, and there are not many in the whole of Shiga Prefecture, and it is impossible for you to find them. ”

"Then tell us some stories about him." Zhao Guoqing said with a smile.

Oda Shinzo immediately began to tell it, like a river dam bursting its embankment, and could not stop anymore, and told four or five stories in a row.

In these stories, Fuji Tai is an invincible hero, who can always appear in times of crisis, and lead the Koga ninja to turn defeat into victory, creating one legend after another.

Stephen listened to it with relish, but Zhao Guoqing was full of suspicion about these stories, and Fuji Taichen in the stories was even deified.

A man like the wind.

This is Oda Shinzo's final evaluation of Fuji Tai, who always comes and goes without a trace, and his life is full of mystery.

"It's late, you better rest, I want to hear the story and I can continue to tell you tomorrow." Oda Shinzo is very smart and knows when to stop.

It was indeed late, and there was no sound outside in the silence.

Zhao Guoqing and the others were about to rest, and before leaving, Danny preached to Oda Shinzo: "Hey, don't forget the agreement between us, tomorrow we want to go around the mountains!" ”

"Okay." Oda Shinzo answered.

I don't know if everyone is really tired all the way, and they all fell asleep soon when they returned to the room, but Zhao Guoqing remained awake.

"That's not right." Zhao Guoqing secretly screamed and found that everyone was not asleep, but fascinated.

There is a mosquito repellent incense in this room, and I didn't pay much attention to it at first, but now I find out that there is a problem with this mosquito coil, which is mixed with strong drugs, which is the reason why everyone is asleep!

It must be the ghost of Shinzo Oda!

Zhao Guoqing thought in his heart, put on his clothes and planned to go to Oda Shinzo to settle accounts, but at this time he heard a shout outside.

"Who? Yes! ”

It's the voice of Shinzo Oda!

Zhao Guoqing did not hesitate and immediately rushed out, only to find that Oda Shinzo had been knocked unconscious in the courtyard, while the door of the hotel was open, and footsteps were heard outside.

Whoever you are, don't even want to run away!

Zhao Guoqing chased out with a secret scream, saw a black shadow running in the moonlight, and immediately raised his hand when he saw himself coming out.

Worst.

Zhao Guoqing immediately retreated to the hotel again, only to hear two sounds of "poof, poof" in his ears, and two more holes in the doorpost.

The other party actually has a gun in his hand and a silencer, and it seems that he is a professional killer.

Zhao Guoqing did not go out from the gate again this time, but turned over and crossed over the wall, and followed the other party all the way to the mountain.

Because the other party's vigilance was very high, Zhao Guoqing did not dare to get too close, and kept an appropriate distance from the enemy.

After entering the mountain, the other party ran for another few hundred meters and stopped, and at this time, two guys in gilly suits crossed out of the grass on the opposite side.

There was an ambush.

Zhao Guoqing stopped, did not continue to go deeper, lurked and stared at the opposite side.

The guy who came running from the hotel was supposed to be a scout, and he spoke a few words to the people lurking here, and then continued to run deep into the mountains accompanied by one of them, while the other guy lurked in the grass again.

After a little hesitation, Zhao Guoqing cautiously retreated, and then made a big circle to the enemy's back, taking advantage of his unpreparedness to pounce.

"Oh." The guy hiding in the grass fainted without any chance to fight back.

"Dark Mercenary!" Zhao Guoqing secretly shouted to himself, and found that this guy in a gilly suit was a dark mercenary, and the two people who left before should also be dark mercenaries.

There are two options in front of Zhao Guoqing now, one is to disguise himself as a dark mercenary and continue to go deeper, checking the specific number of enemies and the purpose of coming here. The other just went back, pretending not to find anything.

After staring at the guy on the ground for a few seconds and thinking about it, Zhao Guoqing decided to go back.

The Dark Mercenaries are subordinate troops of the Iga Ninja, and Shiga Prefecture is the territory of the Koga Ninja, so they will not easily set foot here.

Because this is the territory of the Koga ninjas, they hide in this mountain and do not really act, and they may have appeared here under the instructions of Hattori Shoda.

Hattori Masata will never only arrange some dark mercenaries to deal with him, there must be arrangements later.

Zhao Guoqing didn't want to clean up the snake, so he decided to pretend that he hadn't found anything and quietly retreated, and returned to the hotel.

At this time, Oda Shinzo had already woken up, and when he saw Zhao Guoqing walking in from outside, he asked curiously, "Hey, where have you been?" ”

"Oh, I just heard you shouting and came out to take a look, but I found nothing." Zhao Guoqing said casually, and then pretended to be concerned and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

Oda Shinzo rubbed his head and said, "It's okay. It could be a thief, hurry up and check if you haven't lost anything. ”

"The thief didn't enter the room, so he didn't lose anything. Forget it, let's rest. Zhao Guoqing yawned as he spoke, and entered the room pretending to be very tired.

"Oh, rest assured, I'll step up the security here." Oda Shinzo's voice came from outside.

As soon as Zhao Guoqing closed the door, he glanced around the room with the help of the moonlight that came in, and his eyebrows wrinkled.

Nothing happened to anyone, but someone had entered the room after they had left.
