Chapter 226: Counting is Counting
Early this morning, Kirino Toshiaki hurriedly came to Lin Yiqing's residence near the military school.
Lin Yiqing was very simple, originally lived in a single dormitory in the military school (this is also one of the reasons why the samurai of Kagoshima respected him), and after marrying He Yunqing, because his original residence was too simple, He Ruzhang bought him a two-story small wooden building with a courtyard near the military school at his expense, and renovated it. Although this house is not very large, it is still quite spacious, and it does not look crowded after Chiho Kirino married Lin Yiqing and moved here.
Today is a rest day, He Yunqing and Chiho Kirino are sitting in the small hall on the first floor drinking tea, Chiho Kirino holds a cup of cooked tea in front of He Yunqing, He Yunqing takes it with both hands, takes a sip gently, tastes it for a while, feels extremely fragrant, and is about to admire, but when he sees Kirino Liqiu breaking in, he can't help but be stunned.
He Yunqing cast an inquiring glance at Chiho Kirino, and Chiho Kirino was also very strange and shook her head slightly.
"Chiho, is Hanpeng at home?" Kirino Liqiu first nodded to He Yunqing and bowed slightly, and then asked his daughter directly about Lin Yiqing's whereabouts.
"He came back late last night, probably a little tired, and hasn't woken up yet." Chiho Kirino replied, "I wanted him to rest a little longer, so I didn't call him." β
"He came back late last night?" Kirino Toshiaki frowned, "Do you know where he went?" β
"I don't know." Chiho Kirino shook her head. It was the first time she saw her father like this, and her starry eyes widened and full of doubt.
"Humph! I knew that Hirobumi Ito wouldn't be a good guy looking for him! Kirino Toshiaki snorted and strode upstairs. Maybe because of his anger, he stepped on the staircase to make a "crunch" sound.
Chiho Kirino was about to get up, but He Yunqing reached out and grabbed her.
"It's okay, don't worry about it." He Yunqing smiled slightly.
When Toshiaki Kirino came to Lin Yiqing's room, Lin Yiqing had already sat up from the bed.
He had already heard the conversation downstairs just now.
Seeing Lin Yiqing wake up, Toshiaki Kirino realized that it was a bit rude for him to break into his son-in-law's room, but at this time he thought that the matter was urgent, so he couldn't care about it.
"Father-in-law, please be seated." Lin Yiqing saw the appearance of Kirino Toshiaki, seemed to have guessed something, smiled slightly, got up and said.
Kirino Toshiaki bowed slightly and sat down, and Lin Yiqing sat in front of him and met his gaze.
"Hanpeng, you went to the house with Hirobumi Ito last night, didn't you?" Toshiaki Kirino stared at Lin Yiqing and asked.
"yes." Lin Yiqing replied with a smile, "It was Mr. Chunmu who wanted to introduce me to his two friends, so I followed, but after I went, I learned that it was he who wanted to introduce me to two geisha." β
"How can you be so careless!" Kirino Toshiaki hurriedly said, "How can you easily get acquainted with a geisha of unknown origin?" Don't you know what Hirobumi Ito is doing in Kagoshima? β
"Of course I know what he's here for." Lin Yiqing still looked smiling, "I already know that the two women he introduced to me were not geisha, but female ninjas. And I'm sure they're here to visit Satsuma. β
"Oh?" Hearing Lin Yiqing's answer, Kirino Toshiaki couldn't help but be taken aback.
He originally expected that Ito Hirobumi took Lin Yiqing to the house to use the geisha's beauty to charm Lin Yiqing and spy on Satsuma's intelligence, but what he didn't expect was that those two geisha would be ninjas!
"How did you find out?" Kirino asked eagerly.
"They walk in a very light and silent way in different ways than ordinary geisha, and their fingers are slender and powerful, and although they are very tender, they have calluses in their palms, which are the result of the regular use of swords." Lin Yiqing smiled and said, "They dressed up as geisha, and they really put a lot of effort into it, and it is not easy for ordinary people to find their loopholes, but they can't hide it from my eyes." β
"Now that you know, why don't you leave quickly, and dare to stay with them for so long?" Hearing Lin Yiqing's answer, Kirino Toshiaki became even more anxious, "Don't you know that with a ninja, your life will be in danger at any time?" β
"Since Shunsuke Ito laid such a pipe for me, why don't I use this pipe to convey some information to these thieves in the government that we want them to know?" Lin Yiqing smiled quietly and said.
Kirino Toshiaki suddenly realized, and couldn't help nodding again and again.
"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! The use of ninjas to transmit messages is something that only you Hanpeng dares to do! Kirino Toshiaki stroked his hands in admiration.
"There's so much more they can do for us." Lin Yiqing thought of Sister Ruyue, who served him diligently, and showed a wicked smile.
Listening to the hearty laughter coming from upstairs, Chiho Kirino finally put her mind at ease.
"They seem to be having a good time!" He Yunqing smiled slightly and said to Chiho Kirino.

Heihachiro Togo, who was floating in the sea with a broken piece of wood, couldn't help but cry bitterly when he looked at the sea filled with gunsmoke, which was full of wreckage of Japanese warships and floating corpses of many Japanese naval officers and soldiers.
He was enthusiastic about serving the country, and he never thought that the first time he commanded a warship to fight, it would be such a result.
Because the "Nisshin" sank too quickly, most of the Japanese naval officers and men on the ship did not have time to escape, so they sank into the sea with the warship, and only he, the captain, was lifted off by the shock wave generated by the explosion of a cannonball fired by a Chinese warship when he escaped from the command tower and came to the flybridge, and fell into the sea.
After falling into the water, he has been trying to find and rescue the officers and men of the same ship, but after swimming around, except for the fragments of the ship's hull and a few floating corpses, there is no living person!
The sound of the cannon in the distance gradually stopped, and Heihachiro Togo thought of the "East" ironclad ship that blocked the shells for his "Nisshin", and his heart was worried.
Why did the cannonade stop? Could it be that the flagship of the fleet has also suffered misfortune?
However, the "East" is a real ironclad ship! Could it be that the dignified ironclad ships of the Imperial Japanese Navy would be sunk by the wooden warships of the Qianguo?
Heihachiro Togo looked in the direction of the "To", and he couldn't see it clearly because the sea was full of gunsmoke, but the sound of the cannon that had stopped proved that the battle was indeed over.
Heihachiro Togo held back the sadness in his heart, paddled hard, and swam towards the beach......
