Simulation: Start with one person

Compared to the shogunate, Katsura Kotaro is a little easier to convince. After all, he has been fighting against the barbarians and wants to expel the heavenly beings...

After meeting and talking, the result was consistent with what he thought. Gui Xiaotaro was willing to accept investment, but... he would not obey Fang Rui's orders and do illegal things.

Fang Rui naturally had no objection to this. He was a good person and would not force someone to do anything.

"If, I mean if...when you encounter a situation where you need to cooperate with the shogunate, what will you do?"

Before leaving the Master House, Fang Rui asked. Gui Xiaotaro did not hesitate when he heard the words, "I will choose to cooperate."

Fang Rui didn't say anything, turned around and left the Master House, listening to a group of people talking about trivial things in the Denshi Tavern, waiting for news from Matsudaira Katakurihu.

After confirming the location of the ski resort, Matsudaira Katakurihu will send a text message to Fang Rui.

In the evening, Fang Rui received a text message recording the transaction address, and then he invited Sakata Gintoki and others to go skiing.

Naturally, Sakata Gintoki and others did not refuse. Even if they were injured, they still wanted to go to the ski resort. After all, it was free...

The next day, everyone took a car to the ski resort. Fang Rui looked at the rolling snow-capped mountains and nodded gently. There were mountains and woods covering the area. Under normal circumstances, it would indeed be a little hidden.

But wouldn't it be more eye-catching if a starship landed here?

Or do these people think I don’t know how to use a starship to transport weapons?Instead use other means of transportation...

Without dwelling on the matter, Fang Rui separated from Sakata Gintoki and others, entered the mountain forest alone, picked a mountain at random, and dug out a huge cavity inside the mountain to stack laser cannons and shield-generating devices.

"Well, notify them to pick up the goods."

I took out my phone and looked at it. The signal was a little weak, but text messages could be sent.

At the same time, Matsudaira Katakuritora and others had just arrived at the ski resort and were packing their bags.

Although the comfort trip is a superficial excuse, after the transaction is successfully completed, everyone will really play here, so... it is partly true.

Matsudaira Katakurihu saw the content of the text message and told several other people.

"First skiing, then 'accidentally' leaving the safe area and heading to the trading location."

The team brought by a few people was carefully selected, but even so, there is no way to be sure that there are no nails from the Tiandaozhong in the team...

Therefore, they have no idea of ​​bringing anyone else with them to the trading location.

"So……"

"let's start!"

Everyone looked at each other for a while, then took out their skis and played in the ski resort. Sakata Gintoki and others who were invited by Fang Rui and others were also in the ski team.

I don’t know if it’s some kind of rule or a coincidence…

When Sakata Gintoki and others meet the general, the general is always very unlucky and gets tricked in various ways.

Today, it's the same.

Before the plan discussed by Tokugawa Shigemo and others was implemented, it was interrupted by a sudden accident. Tokugawa Shigemo was crushed by the snowball, then embedded in the snowball, and rolled straight into the mountain forest.

"It's so noisy..."

Fang Rui, who was guarding the foot of the mountain, raised his head and looked at the mountain on the left, which was the mountain where the ski resort was located.

At this time, something happened, and an avalanche occurred on the side of the mountain, and the rumbling sound echoed in the valley.

Faintly, Fang Rui heard screaming.

"The avalanche couldn't have been caused by Sakata Gintoki and others, right?"

Considering the ability of some people to cause trouble, Fang Rui became more confident in his guess. He estimated the distance and the avalanche would not affect him, so he did not continue to care. Instead, he took out a telescope and checked the situation...

"Oh~ It's really them..."

Seeing the group of people embedded in the snowball, Fang Rui didn't know what to say for a moment.

How on earth did these people get themselves into a giant snowball?

One or two is normal.

But a dozen snowballs rolling in a wavy line, followed by a wave caused by an avalanche, is a bit strange no matter how you look at it.

"You're really good at playing! You guys..."

After complaining like this, Fang Rui moved his eyes back and could see a helicopter. Everyone in the cabin was looking at Snowball.

Other than that, no one else was seen.

Without continuing to look around, Fang Rui's gaze returned to the snow globe inlaid with Sakata Gintoki and others.

Perhaps it was luck. There were no obstacles such as rocks and trees on the way the snowball rolled. Everyone had a smooth journey and rolled directly into the cliff.

Seeing this situation, several people in the helicopter immediately picked up the walkie-talkies and informed others to go to the cliff to find these people.

Seeing this, Fang Rui put away his telescope and had no intention of continuing to watch the show. After confirming the positions of several people, he went straight to the target location.

Then he summoned several paper shikigami to carry Sakata Gintoki and others back to the cave. As for the other people who were looking for Sakata Gintoki and others, Fang Rui did not notify them yet.

There's no complicated reason, it's just that it's troublesome.

In the cave, Fang Rui piled dry branches together, then used the Yin Yang technique he learned yesterday to create a fireball and ignite the branches...

Sensing the warmth, Sakata Gintoki and others woke up one after another.

"Yo! How was your skiing experience?"

Fang Rui greeted the few people who woke up like this.

The next second, the faces of Sakata Gintoki and others turned dark. The skiing experience could be said to be quite bad.

I didn't spend more than half an hour on the skis, and the rest of the time was spent falling and tumbling.

When a few people didn't answer, Fang Rui had no intention of asking further questions and turned to look at the other people.

"Do you want to inspect the goods?" Fang Rui asked Sasaki Isaburo, Tokugawa Shigemo and others.

"Of course!" Sasaki Isaburo replied decisively.

"...It seems you have something to talk about. Let's go pick up some dry firewood nearby."

The content of the conversation between several people made Sakata Gintoki understand that what they were talking about was definitely not simple. He had no intention of getting involved, so he spoke to Kagura and others, and then left the cave first, followed closely by Kagura and others. thereafter.

After all the irrelevant people left, everyone moved deeper into the cave. After a while, they saw neatly stacked laser cannons and shield-generating devices.

"The weapons here are enough for you to arm two hundred warships. After you verify them one by one, we will discuss the second deal."

Two hundred battleships, more or less, is a quantity that the shogunate today may not be able to produce.

After all, if there are too many battleships, some people will be wary.

Sasaki Isaburo and others said nothing, picked up the laser cannon and left the cave, testing the power of the laser cannon and the defense of the shield generation device in the snowfield...

Since there were outsiders present, everyone did not test them one by one. They just picked and tested a few...

"Let's talk about follow-up cooperation."

After everyone returned to the cave, Sasaki Isaburo opened the topic. After confirming Fang Rui's strength as a weapons merchant, he felt that they could cooperate.

"Actually, there is nothing to talk about." Fang Rui explained concisely and concisely, "You need to accumulate strength now, so you need an organization to help you take care of the arms, and the candidate I have selected for you is..."

As he said that, Fang Rui looked at someone, "Gui Xiaotaro!"

"As a well-known patriot against the barbarians, it is natural for him to acquire arms. It is okay for him to attract attention temporarily, but when there are more weapons such as battleships, it will be very troublesome if he owns them alone."

"So, you need to find more 'teammates'..."

Tokugawa Shigemo and others had no objection to this. After all, the shogunate was almost the same as the sieve, and there were quite a few spies from other forces.

but……

No matter whether it is Sasaki Isaburo and others, or Tokugawa Shigemo, they cannot trust the purchased weapons to the anti-barbarian organization.

During the current period of time, Tokugawa Shigemo and others had almost no time to spend with Katsura Kotaro, and did not quite understand his nature, so they could not trust Katsura Kotaro.

"In other words, secretly supporting several troops."

Sasaki Isaburo and the others didn't say anything and were each thinking deeply. Fang Rui looked at Katsura Kotaro and asked for his opinion.

"How's it going? What do you think as you watched the whole process?"

Katsura Kotaro was silent for a while and said, "I have no thoughts."

His eyes fell on Tokugawa Shigemo and others, the light in his eyes flickered slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Let's eradicate the internal moths first! After all, we must first settle the internal situation in order to fight against the outside world. If the internal situation is not in a stable state, we cannot use all our strength to drive away the external enemies."

Fang Rui didn't say it clearly, but everyone present heard the words and started to make associations. The people they thought about were not exactly the same, but there were some overlapping people.

For example, from the actions of the previous general, everyone knew that he was close to heaven and humans, and his position was different from theirs, so he was the target that needed to be solved first.

And it is quite troublesome to deal with him.

Dealing with him, not only cutting off one of the Heavenly Daoists' hands, can also be regarded as removing a stumbling block for one's own side.

"Leave it to us! I will send someone to assassinate him." Gui Xiaotaro rushed to the task.

The previous general was his enemy and one of the culprits that caused him to lose his teacher Songyang.

Tokugawa Shigemo and others ignored him and continued to discuss.

"The probability of a successful assassination is very small. My uncle is always surrounded by guards."

Tokugawa Shigemo gave the information without much hesitation.

"His escort is Amaterasuin's Naraku, an assassination force directly under the Tendo clan."

Imai Nobume also said about the information she had, "It is not recommended to use assassination to solve the target."

"No, actually it's better to use assassination to solve the problem." Fang Rui had a different opinion. "Now there are sniper rifles that can kill enemies from thousands of meters away. If you arrange a few more snipers, you can always complete the task."

"What you need to think about is how to lure him out. A spacious place is more suitable for arranging snipers."

Everyone didn't say anything when they heard this. They didn't say they accepted Fang Rui's opinion, nor did they explicitly reject it.

Seeing no response from everyone, Fang Rui did not continue to participate in the discussion. He left the cave alone and found Sakata Gintoki and others who were picking up branches.

"Is exploring the snowfield interesting?"

Fang Rui's greetings were always so irritating. Sakata Gintoki didn't respond and asked about something else.

"Are you planning to start a war?"

Sakata Gintoki's voice is very low, and will dissipate when the cold wind blows, so that no one else can hear it.
