"You mean..." Yu Qiuping read the report submitted to him by Amano Keide, and his expression became solemn, "The Eight-foot Mirror was stolen, Izumo Aguo was assassinated, and the master was assassinated. These three things happened to one person.
What you did?"
"Why?" Yu Qiuping asked puzzledly, "Girl A Guo is related to the Bachi Mirror, but Master Xianru and them have absolutely no connection. Master Xianru has been in Shishan Yufang since the city was founded.
Farming is done in the villages around Ruojiang City, what does it have to do with them?"
"Stealing the eight-foot mirror from the Ise Jingu Shrine, which is closely protected by the Oda family, can firstly destroy the prestige of the Oda family. Secondly, as one of the three sacred artifacts, the huge symbolic significance of the eight-foot mirror is enough to make use of the influence of the imperial family.
A subversive act was carried out, which may threaten the rule of the Oda family. As a result, the heirs of the Muromachi shogunate have gone overseas, and only the imperial family has the right to use it to fight against the Oda family. The person who secretly planned this incident
It is very likely that he wants to introduce the descendants of the royal family to attack the Oda family, and the Eight-foot Mirror is his tool to clear the name of the royal family. After all, the royal family with three artifacts will be more recognized." Amano Keide said to Yu Qiuping in a very serious voice.
, "The assassination of Izumo Aguo may be related to the theft of the Eight-foot Mirror, in order to silence or obliterate the evidence. The assassination of Mr. Xianyue is obviously the same as the purpose of stealing the Eight-foot Mirror - to fight against the Oda family, in order to arouse the followers of the Ichigo Sect to oppose the Oda family.
The suspicion and dissatisfaction of the Tian family regime triggered large-scale uprising."
"What you said seems to make sense..." Yu Qiuping swallowed, but still felt his throat was a little dry, "If you are at a disadvantage in a head-on military duel, why not just use conspiracy to subvert it?"
"Your Highness, do you have any ideas or clues?" Amano Keitoku paused and asked Yu Qiuping, "You are unwilling to disclose the details of the conversation with Izumo Aguo, and you also have some secrets that you are unwilling to reveal. Although I
Instinctively tell yourself that your secret may be related to these complicated and confusing serial cases, but if you don't want to tell me, you can't force it. But in this case, I can't analyze it for you. Only your highness, as the only insider, may you or more
Maybe you can think of some clues?"
"Well..." Yu Qiuping fell into deep thought upon hearing this, recalling what he had experienced with his eyebrows furrowed.
The connection between the Eight-foot Mirror, Shimizu Oriko and Honganji Temple. The connection between the Eight-foot Mirror and Shimizu Oriko lies in the ability of Shimizu Oriko to use the three artifacts to trace back events. But if the perpetrator resorted to theft for this purpose
As for the three artifacts, why did he kill Oriko Shimizu? He should definitely kidnap Oriko Shimizu and force Oriko Shimizu to use that power?
Clues... What clues are there? What is the connection between these three people? No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like Master Xianru will be related to Miss Zhizi and the three artifacts.
Yu Qiuping's thoughts seemed to have entered a dead end, and he could not find a way out no matter how hard he tried.
At this moment, Amano Jingtoku, who was sorting out documents, pulled out another piece of paper and handed it to Yu Qiuping.
"Your Highness, this is the follow-up to the Hojo Genan incident. The previous rumors are true. After investigation, he was indeed killed by a ninja from the Fuma Ninja, and that ninja disappeared after that."
"Okay...I understand. Maybe there is some internal conflict, or that Fuma Ninja is an undercover agent sent by some company." Yu Qiuping took the report and responded casually while continuing to think about his own affairs. For a long while,
Afterwards, he suddenly reacted.
Hojo Genan is also dead?
If Hojo Genan is also added to this death list...
Hojo Genan, Kiyomizu Oriko, and Honganji Temple.
Hojo Genan and Shimizu Oriko are both insiders of Yu Qiupei's identity as a time traveler...could it be said that...the perpetrator's target is everyone who knows the identity of Yu Qiupei's time traveler? Then why is Master Xianru on the list? Could it be that Master Xianru is on the list?
Did you also learn about the fact that Yu Qiuping was a time traveler through some means?
It is indeed possible... I talked about so much future knowledge when negotiating with Master Xianru that night. Master Xiangru might have found out about it through some means after he became suspicious.
Oriko Qingshui said, there are 9 people in the world who know the secret of my time traveler.
Hojo Genan, Kiyomizu Oriko, Honganji Temple...and Mishima Ritane, Mishima Ritaka, Kinomoto Honin, Hatani Honoko, that's 7. If Mishima Ritaka is deceased, there are 3 of the remaining 6 people.
They have been killed by the murderer in succession in the past six months.
Wait...if the murderer was still in Wakajiang Castle in Hanoi not long ago, is it very likely that he is near Maple Leaf Mountain Castle now?
Thinking of this, Yu Qiuping stood up suddenly and hurriedly ordered:
"Kwon Bingwei, send someone to protect Yegu Suiko immediately! Find her! Immediately!"
·
Soon after, a group of people rushed out of Crow's headquarters. Yu Qiuping and his guards hurried back to Maple Leaf Mountain City, while Crow's ninjas spread out to conduct a vigilance search.
Seeing the anxious expressions of Yu Qiuping and his party from a distance, the defenders at the south gate of Maple Leaf Mountain Castle Go-no-Maru were all frightened and hurriedly evacuated the people near the gate to let Yu Qiuping pass quickly. Yu Qiuping
The Peace Guards rushed through the main gates of Shinomaru, Sannomaru, Ninomaru and Honmaru along the avenue, and arrived at the gate of the castle tower. Morinaga who stayed behind was very surprised to see Yuqiupei rushing around in such a hurry.
He asked: "Your Highness, what's going on? Is there someone chasing you?"
"No." Yu Qiuping replied quickly, and at the same time asked Mori Changke anxiously on the horse: "Where is Yegu Suiko?"
"Miss Yegu?" Mori Nagako was stunned for a moment after hearing this, frowned and thought for a while, then said hesitantly, "It seems that after lunch, he accompanied his wife on the street."
"Feng'er is here too?" Yu Qiuping turned pale with fright, and his hand holding the reins began to shake, "Where have you gone?"
"It seems to be the shop over at Shinomaru. Miss Hagaya seems to want to buy something." Morinagako obviously didn't realize why Yu Qiuping was in a hurry, "What's wrong with you, Your Highness?"
However, Yu Qiuping seemed to have no time to explain to him. After shouting, "Take all the guards left behind at the castle tower to follow me," he led the dozens of banner knights behind him and rode away.
"Your Highness, the Maple Leaf Mountain City is heavily guarded, and there must be many good people around Madam to protect her, so nothing will happen!" Mori Ranmaru, who was behind Yu Qiuping, saw Yu Qiuping's panic and anxiety at the moment, and said comforting words from the side.
"It seems that Master Ru is surrounded by many of our experts who are following him. I don't know how he slipped through. The assassin is very capable. He might be an elite ninja." As Yu Qiuping spoke, he thought again.
The assassination of Hojo Genan. If the death of Hojo Genan is really related to the death of Shimizu Oriko, their murderer may be the same person - the elite ninja of Fuma Ninja who killed Hojo Genan.
Thinking of this, Yu Qiuping sweated even more on his forehead.
He didn't dare to slow down his horse for a moment. He leaned against the horse's back with his waist bent, holding the horse's belly like crazy, and whipped Pipa with his whip. Pipa, who had always been docile in the past, obviously felt the owner's anxiety.
He rushed as hard as the wind in his hoofs, and for a moment even Honda Tadakatsu, the best equestrian, could only stand at par.
Yu Qiuping rushed to the tower of Sannomaru's west gate and shouted to the bewildered guards: "Did you see where the lady went with her maid?"
"That grocery street over there!" Although the guard hadn't figured out the situation yet, he immediately gave Yu Qiuping directions, "I'll come down and show you the way!"
"No, I recognize it!" Yu Qiuping waved to him, and without delaying for a moment, he rode away again. Although he knew that in the safe Maple Leaf Mountain City, there were still guards and ninjas protecting him, Imagawa Kaede should
There will be no danger - but he is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. He doesn't want this kind of thing to happen again if it is too late. Failure to save her father is a regret in his life.
It would have been nice if I had returned to Narumi City earlier...
With this idea in mind, Yu Qiuping rode towards the grocery street. According to the regulations of Maple Leaf Mountain City, there is no emergency military situation or military affairs, and riding horses in the city is not allowed. Therefore, when he saw that he had always abided by the law,
After their own lord actually ran wildly with his guards, the residents of Maple Leaf Mountain City instinctively sensed the danger and consciously moved to both sides of the road to make room for Yu Qiuping and the guards.
Yu Qiuping walked around three corners, and the familiar grocery street appeared in front of her. Imagawa Kaede often came here to shop on weekdays, buying some small things that Yu Qiuping found useless. Yu Qiuping even accompanied her there a few times.
Sure enough, after turning the horse around the corner, Yu Qiuping saw Imagawa Kaede in the grocery street and Haikou Haotani who was following her. The big stone hanging in her heart suddenly fell, and the tension that had lasted for a long time proved to be a false alarm.
On the scene, Yu Qiuping finally felt relieved. Now Chuan Feng had obviously noticed the incredible sound of horse hooves, and was turning his head to look around the corner, meeting Yu Qiuping's eyes.
Yu Qiuping raised his hand and waved towards Imagawa Feng, while Imagawa Feng spread his hand and made a look like "What are you doing?"
Just when Yu Qiuping was about to turn over and dismount, several figures suddenly flashed out from under the eaves across the grocery street and went straight to where Imagawa Kaede and Yegu Suiko were. Yu Qiuping was shocked and nearly frightened while riding forward.
After exhaling, I realized that the figures that appeared were all ninjas secretly protecting Kaede Imagawa.
"Your Highness?" After several ninjas saw that the person who came was Yu Qiuping, they hurriedly saluted and apologized. "They heard the sound of horse hooves and rushed here in a hurry. They didn't want to offend Your Highness."
"It's okay, you did a good job." Yu Qiuping came to them and dismounted, then handed the reins to Mori Ranmaru, and walked towards Imagawa Kaede and the others. At the same time, the sound of horse hooves on the street came from far to near again.
The ground rang, and Mori Nagako came with the guards from the castle tower on horseback.
"The troops are mobilized, what happened in Maple Leaf Mountain City?" Imagawa Kaede was still holding a brush he had just selected in his hand, and looked at Yu Qiuping with some confusion, "Why didn't I receive any news?"
"It's okay, I just suspected that someone wanted to assassinate Sui Zi." Yu Qiuping shook his head, and then looked at Ye Gu Sui Zi, frightening her who was holding several bottles of paint.
"My little girl?" Yegu Suiko blinked in panic.
"I will tell you the details later. During this time, Suiko, please stay in the castle tower and don't run around. I will strengthen the security." Yu Qiuping waved his hand and signaled the guards to take action immediately, "Be careful.
I don’t know where the assassin comes from.”
"Is it related to Aguo and Master Xianru's matter?" The keen Imagawa Feng has already noticed the reason why Yu Qiuping rushed back.
"I guess so."
