Moreover, the current generation of generals are suppressed by the previous generation of generals. They do not have complete rights and are restricted in what they want to do.

But there is an advantage to the current situation. The previous generation of generals were affiliated with Tian Daozhong. With him around, Tian Daozhong will feel at ease.

Without him, contemporary generals can quickly reshuffle their power to embrace change.

Each has its own benefits, and the specifics depend on other aspects.

"It's not necessary. I will ask other people to see if there is any other way."

Sasaki Isaburo has a little bit of information about Onmyoji.

When the news of the "Contest" spread throughout Edo, Sasaki Isaburo sent someone to investigate the matter, and then learned that the participants in the Contest...

The entry list that concerned him particularly was the first version, that is, the version before the news spread.

Knowing Fang Rui's behavior, Sasaki Isaburo guessed that the people on the list were not ordinary people, and then sent people to investigate again. After receiving the information, it was confirmed that his guess was not wrong.

None of the people on the list is a fuel-efficient lamp. They are either mercenary tribes, people with lofty ideals to resist the barbarians, or even Onmyoji.

Taking into account various factors, Sasaki Isaburo knew that Onmyoji had real abilities, but he just didn't know how far the other party could achieve it.

But now, he didn't have a solution to the problem, so he wanted to ask the Onmyoji to see if the other party had a solution. After all, he had to make the best use of everything, not to mention that the other party worked for the shogunate. Is there any problem in doing something for the general?

Of course there is no problem...

"Wait for my news!"

Sasaki Isaburo decided to deal with the matter as soon as possible. If there was a chance, he would deal with Tokugawa Sada as soon as possible. After all, keeping the other party would cause more trouble.

"Okay! I leave it to you." Tokugawa Shigemo said.

Then, Isao Kondo turned his attention to Myo Shimura, who replied, "Don't worry, I know Fang Rui and I won't leak this matter."

Myo Shimura, who had met Fang Rui several times, also had connections with Wanshiwu, and knew something about certain things.

Then, she looked at the others: "...As for them, I will warn them and won't talk nonsense."

Being able to be chosen by Isao Kondo and Myo Shimura to listen is in some ways reliable and the matter will not be leaked.

"I believe you." Isao Kondo nodded without any hesitation.

Regarding Shimura Miao, he thought he knew the other party relatively well. Since the other party said he would keep the secret, he would definitely keep the secret.

Seeing Kondo Isao's attitude, the others didn't say anything.

The group left the Smile Tavern, and Miao Shimura returned home without telling Shinpachi Shimura about the matter. Since he promised to keep it secret, he naturally had to keep it.

Kondo Isao, who was performing his "mission", was immediately moved when he saw Shimura Myo's attitude.

The other two were also monitored by female ninjas to ensure that the other person did not say nonsense.

And Sasaki Isaburo has obtained information from the Onmyoji. There are ways to control a person. Whether it is a way to completely control a person or a way to influence thinking, they all have it...

But the flaws are also very obvious. He has several methods, and it can be said that they all have flaws.

In this regard, Sasaki Isaburo said that it was nothing. Anyway, the target being controlled was a person who would have to be dealt with sooner or later, so there was no need to worry about any side effects.

After solving the key problem, he immediately told the news to the rest of his companions and asked Tokugawa Shigemo to find a way to bring the mission target to Yoshihara Taoyuan Township.

"I will try my best." Tokugawa Shigemo said that he will try his best to convince the mission target.

"...If I fail to convince the mission target, I will activate a backup plan."

Regarding what Tokugawa Shigemo said, Sasaki Isaburo replied: "Don't worry, I am quite well prepared. Even if the other party does not go to Yoshiwara, they can still 'solve' the mission target, but the risk is a little higher and the success rate is low. a little."

"It's so reliable!" Isao Kondo sighed.

It is a bit difficult for him to lay out plans and plan for others. His way of thinking is more linear. He will not look for other solutions to things that can be solved with "simple" methods.

"Tsk! It's become his one-man show." Jushiro Hijikata exclaimed softly. In this mission, he didn't get any credit, which made him feel very... unhappy!

"Mr. Hijikata, do you also want to have a one-man show? I can help, for example..."

Okita Sougo didn't finish speaking, and deliberately lengthened his voice to let Hijikata Jushiro guess.

"Ha! No need!" Hijikata Jushiro refused quite decisively. He knew very well that Okita Sougo was full of malicious intentions.

"What a pity." Okita Sougo did not persuade him. Whether he gave up his idea is another story.

While Kondo Isao and others were having different thoughts, somewhere in Yoshihara, Fang Rui looked at the list of contestants. The unexpected number of contestants was really annoying.

What was originally a game for dozens of people has turned into a game for hundreds or even thousands of people. Just the change in the length of the game is very distressing.

Not to mention that almost all residents of Edo already know the news of the game. It is even possible that other cities know about it. There are countless people who want to watch the game.

"Trouble..." Fang Rui rubbed his brows, wondering where he should find a competition venue.

There is an arena in the Onmyoji family, but it cannot accommodate too many people and does not meet the requirements.

Other than that, he seemed to have never seen any arena, let alone one that could accommodate an audience of more than [-] people.

"Speaking of which, why should I think about the audience? Can't we just find a TV station to broadcast it live?"

Fang Rui frowned slightly and found that there was something wrong with the way he was thinking. Why should he consider accommodating the audience?

He held the competition not just for people to watch, but for...

'What am I here for? '

Doubts appeared in Fang Rui's mind. He had been busy looking for contestants in the past few days and had forgotten the original purpose~

'It should be for the theater! '

Fang Rui guessed like this and did not continue to think about this matter. After all, his ideas were always very simple and there were not so many twists and turns.

'Perhaps, I need to find some people to help me collect rare items. '

Supplementing in his mind, Fang Rui informed Yue Yong via email, telling her the location of the Fengxian mansion that had been demolished earlier and not to build other buildings for the time being.

Yue Yong looked at the foundation that had been laid and said nothing, just replying with the word "good".

Laying a foundation should not be a big problem.

Then, Fang Rui left his residence and headed to the competition address he chose.

Considering the destructive power of some people, he was not going to build any gorgeous arena. Simple and easy maintenance was the best choice.

After arriving at the destination, Fang Rui looked at the foundation without saying anything, but informed Yuno Seimei to come and help him. It should be quick for the shikigami to build a ring.

As for the stone materials needed to repair the arena, tell the construction company that they will need enough to repair ten arenas first. If there is not enough, more will be added...

At the same time, Yuno Seimei received the news.

'It's so lively today. Two big shots came to see me. '

After thinking for a while, Fang Rui realized that since Fang Rui needed help from the Shikigami, it would be appropriate to call on the Silino clan. Perhaps he could use this opportunity to reconcile with Daoman...

With this in mind, Yuno Haruaki sent an email to Sasaki Isaburo asking him for a favor.

Regarding the relationship between Sasaki Isaburo and others and Fang Rui, Yuno Haruaki lacked understanding. If he wanted to find an excuse to persuade the Satino clan, he would of course have to ask the shogunate for help.

After all, the Onmyoji family serves the shogunate, and the shogunate has the right to dispatch onmyoji.

After seeing Yuno Seimei's email, Sasaki Isaburo looked thoughtful.

"Ask me to help transfer the Silino clan to Yoshiwara..."

"What are you thinking about, Yuno Haruaki?"

Considering that Yuno Haruaki was on the competition list and that there would be no harm in sending a few more Onmyoji to Yoshiwara, he did not reject Yuno Haruaki's request.

What's more, he was guessing that it might be Fang Rui's order to let the Silino clan go to Yoshihara.

After all, Isaburo Sasaki knew that Yuno Haruaki and Fang Rui knew each other, and Yuno Haruaki was a participant...

The reason why the Mirino clan went to Yoshiwara may be because they wanted them to participate in the competition.

"Will the Onmyoji join the battle?" Sasaki Isaburo touched his chin. He had never seen the Onmyoji fighting, and he didn't know how the opponent fought.

After receiving Sasaki Isaburo's reply, Yuno Haruaki breathed a sigh of relief, and then took more than half of the Onmyoji of the Yuno clan to Yoshihara Taoyuan Township, striving to complete Fang Rui's commission as soon as possible.

On the other side, the Chunyu investigation team, who had been "persuaded" by Fengxian, had decided to participate.

"The Night King Fengxian is as powerful as the legend."

Zang Jue, whose face was covered with blood after being beaten, praised softly, and the faces of the others were also more or less injured.

"Judging from the current situation, the Night King's strength has not only not decreased, but has even improved?!"

Fan Jie's tone was very surprised. Is there a setting for Yetu to become stronger and stronger?Never heard of it...

"A skill to maintain combat power?" Ma Dong thought thoughtfully, "I have heard of similar skills, but I didn't expect that the Night King actually mastered them. It's really surprising!"

"Then the question is, if the Night King, whose overall strength is no weaker than in his heyday, was defeated, how strong is the person who defeated him?"

Shiling asked this question, but no one answered, or could not give an answer.

The Night Rabbit's healing power is very strong. Even if it is seriously injured, it can be healed within a few days. They cannot judge the strength of the enemy the Night King encounters based on the injuries.

The only way to investigate is the competition given by Night King Fengxian.

"Fight? I'm very interested..."

Shenwei is eager to try it out. He has no objection to fighting with strong men. It would be better to say that he is happy to do so.

"I suggest working in teams, with some people participating in the competition and others using other methods to find targets."

Chapter 567 Plan to go to Lu'an

After the discussion, the Haruyu investigation team separated and the combat team headed by Kamui did not leave Yoshihara, but wandered around Yoshihara, looking for possible targets.

In the eyes of Shenwei and others, the person who can defeat the Night King and Phoenix is ​​not an ordinary person. Even in daily life, he will still show an extraordinary temperament.

To put it simply, it stands out from the crowd.

From a conventional way of thinking, this is indeed the case. Some powerful people will show a side that is different from ordinary people in daily life. For example, people who come out of the battlefield will have murderous intent. In the eyes of ordinary people, There will be a feeling of "this person is not easy to mess with".

However, this characteristic is not [-]% correct. Some people can hide their aura, and some people have better personalities and can also hide their strangeness...

Therefore, the probability that Shenwei and others would use this method to find Fang Rui was very low. After all, Fang Rui looked like an ordinary person when he was not showing his power.

From the other team that left Yoshiwara, some people were wandering around Edo, but one person was in an Internet cafe, using the Internet to collect information.

The Internet is indeed a very useful way to collect information. For example, strong people who are often active in Edo will be "remembered" by the Internet to some extent, appear in the news, or be discussed by some people.

In just a few minutes, he had already obtained a lot of information, such as "The flower shop owner in Kabukicho is a monster, so scary", "One of the Four Heavenly Kings' ascendant subordinates, Sakata Gintoki is really powerful", "It's really The selection group has been so active recently", "Why are the anti-barbarian organizations always attacking each other"...
