"The wild samurai don't know anything at all. They think this time the Prime Minister is going to recruit warriors like the sword-drawing team. Unfortunately, they will never be able to access core intelligence..."

"Ito Jun reminded me in a vague way that all the samurai recruited this time will go north."

Shimazu Asuka was stunned at the time, "Going north, what is worth paying attention to in the north?" Obviously, the Shimazu family's information was not very well-versed this time.

The Maori Yiyuan enjoyed the feeling of starry sky-high moon. After pouring the wine three times in a row, Asuka Shimazu poured wine and then whispered, "Far East... This time the Prime Minister's target is the Russians in the Far East."

Hiss...there was a sound of gasping air around, "Russians, is the Prime Minister a natural Western killer who specializes in fighting against Europeans."

The Japanese elites are not blind. There have been more and more Russian warships cruising on the Japanese sea in the west in recent years. Even fishermen in the Hokuriku region of Japan can see Russian warships approaching the coast and don’t know what they are busy with.

In the past, the Japanese shogunate did not understand the Russians' attempts, saying that they would invade, but they never went ashore and did not rob the fishermen. Later, the Shimazu family understood the secrets of the Russians by sharing intelligence with the CIA.

It turns out that the Russians have been mapping the hydrological conditions of the Sea of ​​Japan, where there are reefs, undercurrents, deep-water ports, and where there will be frozen in winter... The Russians finally had excellent deep-water ports like Vladivostok in the Far East. In the first few years, their core work was surveying and mapping.

The mountains, rivers and land in the Far East must be surveyed and mapped, and the hydrological conditions of the sea must also be surveyed and mapped. This is all preparations for future military operations.

Japan is a country that is very sensitive to crisis. Although the Russian bear did not bare his teeth directly at Japan, the dangerous aura has gradually floated over.

Asuka Shimazu rubbed his hands and drank a glass of wine. "No wonder, no wonder, Lord Xiang went north all the way, and he didn't stop the boat by so many daimyos. If he was dealing with the Russians, it would be explained all of them..."

"Sir Xiang is going to select people from North Japan. The samurai in our southern country has been excluded... What should I do? The samurai in the cold zone war is indeed to find North Japan's samurai, but I am unwilling to accept it."

Maori Yiyuan threw the wine cup onto the low table, "Our warriors in the southern country cannot admit defeat. Lord Xiang doesn't want to see us, so he will take the initiative to chase him... I guess Lord Xiang must be preparing to go to Kanazawa."

"Maeda family, Lord Xiang is indeed going to attack Daming outside. So we still have a chance." Asuka Shimazu said excitedly.

"That's right, but the premise must be that we can catch up. Don't drink anymore. Let's secretly leave Osaka tonight and go to Lake Biwa."

The samurai and the samurai families looked at each other, threw down a copper plate and ran downstairs. That night, the group ran towards Lake Biwa with their luggage on their backs.

On the north shore of Lake Biwa, in the Tsukanocho Town, the morning sun shines on the window frames of the dilapidated shrine. The bonfire is filled with salt-soaked tuna meat, which is what Westerners call it tuna meat.

The calories roasted the fish, making the fat and strong fragrance come out. The food box was already opened. Master Long and Sister Wu were eating the rice balls inside.

The shrine is on the hillside east of Tsukanocho Town. The surrounding ancient trees are full of cold winds, and the climate in the deep mountains is like this. Even in midsummer, the temperature difference between morning and evening and noon is very large.

"Those idiots outside, knelt all night." Master Long asked without raising his head.

Sister Wu didn't look at him and swallowed the rice ball in her mouth. "Well, I've seen my pocket watch. These idiots arrived here at 10 o'clock last night, and knelt down without saying a word, until now."

"Grandma...what is the omission? I'm not like a Fusang person. I think I'm wearing makeup well, and I haven't spoken all the way."

Sister Wu shrugged, "I'm going to ask those people, this is not my accusation..." After that, she turned around and left.

Master Long bit the tuna meat and vented his anger. "Don't forget, you are my deputy, you have the responsibility to help me complete the task."

"I'm sorry, I don't think you will be any important help to this mission as a Japanese. Besides, you are a noble Chinese and don't pretend to be like us untouchables..."

The little ghost in Fog Hidden spoke more and more harshly. Every time the two chief officials quarreled, the guards around him would shrink their necks and turn their heads and run away. The fire at the city gate affected the pond fish.

Outside the shrine, Long Ye quietly looked at Maori Ichiyuan and Shimazu Asuka who were kneeling on the ground, and after a long time, he spoke, "How did you find out my identity, and who are you, and why are you following me."

"Hai..." Both of them knelt down and kowtowed without any hesitation. When they heard Mr. Long posted a message and quickly took out the ID certificate and letter of recommendation issued by the monk from the package, which introduced the basic situation of these warriors, and also asked Lord Xiang to accept these loyal warriors.

"I am a native of the Choshu family. This is Shimazu Asuka and Satsuma family... Please forgive us for your frankness. Lord Xiang really shouldn't dress up as a businessman. You don't have the temperament of a businessman at all."

"First of all, merchants should be profit-seeking. When they reach the first place in every town, they should inquire about local prices, especially the price of rice, and you never ask..."

"Secondly, merchants are frugal. Even the richest tycoons in Edo Castle will not show off their wealth when they go out. Where are you like you? You can eat precious tuna meat and plum rice balls."

"Finally, and most importantly, we have never seen a businessman with such a tall physique as you, and you are standing tall among the warriors. How could such a person be a businessman?"

After hearing this, Master Long threw the straw raincoat on his body directly to the ground, "Mist-hide ghost... have you known it a long time ago... You deliberately saw my joke."

The little ghost of Mizuki walked out of the shrine and gave him a blank look, "Baga... who did you blame me for being idiot?"

Early in the morning, the two of them started arguing again. The samurai knelt outside the shrine and looked at each other. As the guards around them looked at them with pitiful eyes, the silly boys also knew that the danger was approaching.

Master Long grabbed Maori Yi Yuan and threw it out from the gate of the shrine, rolling down the mountain like a ball. The little ghost of Fujihiko was not showing weakness, kicked Shimazu Asuki. This guy really flew out of the gate like a birdman.
