The strongest soldier

Along the way, the convoy ran wildly, without any police to intercept it, and no killer pursued it. It was a very strange situation, and Luo Zheng became even more curious. People who can do this are not simple, but Sarutobi Saru didn't want to say that, Luo Zheng naturally He wouldn't take the initiative to ask, but seeing Sarutobi Saru constantly on the phone, he just watched and thought deeply.

After a while, Sarutobi Zuo hung up the phone and looked at Luo Zheng and Lan Xue, who were sitting side by side. He closed his eyes and seemed reluctant to talk. Luo Zheng knew that people like Sarutobi Zuo were cautious in doing things. He would never say anything easily until he knew his identity. Someone must be tracking him on the phone just now, so he couldn't help but secretly become vigilant. He didn't say much and waited.

After a while, a call came in. Sarutobi answered it for a while and then hung up. Then several more calls came in. Sarutobi just answered the call without saying anything. The convoy unknowingly rushed out of the city and arrived at the suburbs. , Luo Zheng suddenly found that other vehicles continued to move forward, but the car he was riding in suddenly turned and entered a farm nearby.

The farm looked unprepossessing, a very ordinary wooden house, decorated with white paper, a typical Japanese residence. There was a small flat in front of it, and an off-road vehicle was parked. When the two wolfdogs saw the car coming in, they stood up quickly and alertly, maybe it was After seeing the people in the car clearly, they didn't even scream. They lay down and continued to rest.

Seeing this scene, Luo Zheng knew that Sarutobi Saru must come here often. As for the other teams, he should be distracting his opponents. There is a rockery and running water in the front yard, which looks very unique. There is also a grape trellis below. There was a stone bench and table. A young man in a kimono was making tea, and a middle-aged man sat opposite.

When the two people saw the car coming in, they stood up and bowed slightly to greet them. The car stopped. Sarutobi Zuo signaled Luo Zheng and Lan Xue to get out of the car. The car turned around and left. Sarutobi Zuo walked towards the grape arbor and met another middle-aged man. Luo Zheng gave Lan Xue a wary look and walked forward slowly.

"Let me introduce you. This is my eldest brother Sarutobi Suke. This is my daughter, Sarutobi Nobuko. I am Sarutobi Saru. I have admired both of you for a long time." Sarutobi Suke suddenly switched to Chinese Mandarin and said, with a smile on his face. With a bit of a smile.

Luo Zheng's face changed greatly. After seeing that the other party was not hostile, he quickly calmed down and judged the situation. Sarutobi Zuo must have found out his identity through the phone call just now, and brought him here and drove away the others. It can be seen that Sarutobi Zuo must have found out his identity through the phone call just now. He had no hostility toward him, so he immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Sarutobi, that's a good trick."

"Please." Sarutobi smiled and made a gesture of invitation.

Luo Zheng and Lan Xue exchanged a look. They came to sit on the stone bench under the grape trellis. Yuan Feixinzi bowed respectfully and said: "Thank you two fathers for saving me. Please allow me to make tea for you two." ."

"You're welcome." Luo Zheng replied casually. He looked at Sarutobi Saru and then at Sarutobi Suke. He found that the two of them were also sizing him up. He couldn't help but smile and continued: "We are all smart people. There is an old saying in our country. , Tell Mingren not to speak secretly in front of me, since you two know my identity and have brought us here, it seems that we can have a frank talk?"

"The rumors are indeed true. Your marksmanship is as good as a god. I have witnessed this with my own eyes, and my insight is amazing. No wonder the Ishiino family is so frightened." Sarutobi said politely, and glanced at Sarutobi, who nodded. , Sarutobi Saru continued: "To be honest with you two, we have had a feud with the Ishii family for generations. You killed several masters of the Ishii family, which aroused our thoughts, so we checked your background, please forgive me."

"This is not important anymore. Since you also have a grudge against the Ishii family, the enemy of your enemy is a friend. It seems that we can really have a good talk." Luo Zheng didn't expect that the other party actually had a grudge against the Ishii family, or a feud. See It didn't look like he was lying. When he mentioned the words "Ishii Family", the hatred in his eyes could not be faked, so he said calmly.

"Little brother, please allow me to call you this. You are really shrewd and don't doubt our intentions at all. Aren't you afraid that we will deceive you?" Sarutobi Suke suddenly said, speaking standard Chinese Mandarin.

"Is there any point in lying to me?" Luo Zheng asked with a smile.

"Huh? It's really meaningless. What I said, little brother, is indeed brilliant. Let's get down to business." Sarutobi took over the topic and said: "We know a little about your identity. Although it is not comprehensive, it is enough. My I believe you are very curious about my identity. In order to have a pleasant cooperation, I need to introduce myself. However, this is a bit long. I hope you two have enough patience to listen?"

"Good tea, good scenery, good time, we have plenty of time to chat slowly." Luo Zheng said with a smile.

"So elegant." Sarutobi Saru smiled, exchanged a look with Sarutobi Suke and continued: "I believe that little brother knows ninjas. A long time ago, Iga and Koga were originally the same place. Later, because of Because of the war, they were divided into two places, so the schools were also separated. However, many basic practices of the Japanese ninjutsu school were still practiced according to the classic book "Manchuan Jihai", and this book is the earliest Iga and The ancestors of Koga wrote that the two factions are about the same strength. The two factions were originally relatives, but they later split into enemies due to different masters. The largest family in Iga is Ishii, and the largest family in Koga is our monkey. fly."

It was the first time Luo Zheng heard about this kind of thing, and he couldn't help but become more interested and sounded patiently.

Sarutobi Saru continued: "Our Koga sect is a neighbor of Iga. We are located in the mountains not far to the north of Iga. We have been the strongest ninjas alongside Iga for generations. In the early days, we served the princes near Kyoto. , such as the Rokkaku clan, Tsutsui clan, Hosokawa clan, etc., later surrendered to the world tyrant Oda Nobunaga. During the most glorious 10 years of Nobunaga's career, Koga developed rapidly, and took advantage of the massacre of Iga for a time. The trend of dominating the ninja world, however, came to a standstill after Nobunaga was murdered by his subordinates in Kyoto and the Oda family fell apart. However, with the accumulation of these 10 years, Koga could still compete with the "Queen Ninja" Iga in the era of the Tokugawa Shogunate. "

"In other words, you were kicked out of power, but your strength is equivalent to that of Iga who is still in power. And now the head of the Iga family, the largest family in Iga, wants to annex you and become the ninja family that dominates Japan. And if you think your whereabouts are exposed, you will After being hunted today." Luo Zheng reacted quickly and asked with a smile.

"Little brother, draw inferences from one example. It is indeed the case. This is the situation. If it weren't for you today, my life would have been handed over to Fushan. Now, you and I understand each other and have a foundation of trust. I believe that your visit to Japan is not just for sightseeing. It's so simple, let's talk about cooperation next?" Sarutobi Zuo said seriously.
