Xiao Zheng saw through the old man's true strength at a glance. It was not that he had a sophisticated vision, but an instinct that many strong men had. This is like a thief who can spot a fellow thief at a glance in a vast sea of people, and a gay man who sees his fellow brethren in an understatement...
This kind of instinctive vision is not something to be proud of, at least in Xiao Zheng's opinion. But he was shocked by the old man who was standing by the tent with his head bowed.
She raised her eyes slightly, and a look of surprise flashed across her originally peaceful eyes. But in just a moment, it disappeared and became dull again.
Looking at the woman in the tent, she said calmly: "Hakuchi Mitsui assassinated Ito. But she failed."
"Oh?" Xiao Zheng frowned slightly, and then he quickly caught the name the woman in the tent called the old man - Bai Di Sanjing
Her last name is Baidi
Xiao Zheng suddenly raised his attention, looked at the old man with a deep look, and said in a gentle tone: "Are you the Hyakuchi clan among the three jounin of Iga?"
There are three jounin in Iga-ryu, namely the Hattori clan, the Fujibayashi clan, and the Momochi clan. Among the three jounin, the Hyakuchi clan is the most respected, and they are the most powerful clan of the Iga sect. Even the legendary Hattori clan cannot compare with him.
Xiao Zheng never expected that the very ordinary-looking old man in front of him would actually be the famous Bai Di clan's top ninja. Amazing.
"Mr. Xiao's words are serious." The old man slowly raised his head and said in a very slow tone. "The number one master of the Hattori clan has been destroyed by you. I am an old woman, what can I do?"
From the old man's tone, Xiao Zheng could hear her admiration for him. But Brother Azheng has never been a proud and complacent person. Respond politely: "I just have better luck."
He knew who the old man said was the best Hattori style master. It was the top ninja who assassinated Sophia. A strong man who even himself was almost fooled by his ninjutsu.
"Luck is based on strength. Without absolute strength, luck will never come." The old man said seriously. Immediately, she explained to the woman in the tent. "Ito's strength has already reached the level of peerless powerhouses, and he is one of the eight strongest men in the world. I led dozens of ninjas under my command to carry out an assassination, but they returned without success. Most of them were damaged."
Xiao Zheng rationally analyzed the information revealed by Old Man Baidi. First of all, Ito's strength is beyond imagination, and secondly, even if he adopts the human sea tactic, he cannot successfully assassinate him. In the end, the woman in the tent was not waiting for him to take action, but because she failed in the assassination and had no choice, she put hope in herself.
"Mr. Xiao. Ito is a celebrity in Tokyo. He is also a distinguished guest of our royal family. Killing him will cause a huge shock. Please don't be careless." The woman in the tent said slowly.
Xiao Zheng pursed his lips and nodded: "I understand."
After a pause, he raised his eyes and said, "So, what help can you bring to me? Shang Yao attracted Ito's attention and distracted his focus. What about you?"
"I can take care of the aftermath for you." The woman in the tent said meaningfully. "Help you leave Tokyo successfully."
"My team will be responsible for my retreat." Xiao Zheng smiled slightly and said with some disdain. "Do you think I'm here to die?"
The woman in the tent paused for a moment, then spoke again: "Mr. Xiao, if you decide to wait until Ito leaves this villa before taking action, it is indeed no different from sending death."
"What do you mean?" Xiao Zheng asked with a frown.
In fact, this was exactly Xiao Zheng's original intention.
Taking action next to the palace is too risky, and it is difficult to deal with the aftermath. It may even arouse great attention and thorough investigation by the palace. By then, it will be even more difficult for me to leave Tokyo.
However, the royal woman in the tent told him bluntly that if he waited for Ito to leave before taking action, it would be tantamount to death!
Wouldn't this disrupt all of Xiao Zheng's plans and put him in a dilemma
The woman in the tent slowly explained: "Mr. Xiao, I believe you already knew about Ito's stronghold in Tokyo before going to Tokyo. Is that right?"
"Yes." Xiao Zheng didn't hide it.
"In fact, there is a flaw in the information you collected." The royal woman added. "In addition to the above three strongholds, Ito also has a secret base. When he leaves here, he will immediately go to the secret base. He will not show up again for a few months."
"Is there such a thing?" Xiao Zheng said with a slight frown. "What secret base?"
"It used to be a military base. Now it has been contracted by Ito." The royal woman explained. "Once he enters the secret base, even if Mr. Xiao has three heads and six arms, he will not be able to break through the defense and come to Ito."
Xiao Zheng paused for a moment, then asked with a confused look on his face: "How did you know these secrets? How could Ito reveal such an important thing?"
"Of course he can't tell me." The royal woman's tone was no longer soothing, but she said slightly indifferently. "But he would tell my mother."
Mother!
Is this the emperor's sister that Tina mentioned
Could it be that the woman in the tent is the daughter of the emperor's sister? Prince Ling Lainei
Xiao Zheng's spirit was lifted, he straightened his back and looked at the woman in the tent. Although he still couldn't see the woman in the tent, he could vaguely smell an indescribable aura.
"In that case, he should be an elder you respect. Why do you want to kill him?" Xiao Zheng was shocked, but also felt a twinge of fear in his heart.
According to Tina, Ito had a close relationship with his mother and even lived in the same room. Why does she still wish to kill her mother's lover with her own hands
Xiao Zheng could not understand the thinking of Prince Ling Lainei—
"Because my father is still alive!"
Suddenly, a chill surged through the tent: "Mr. Xiao, if you were me, what would you do?"
Xiao Zheng was completely confused. He also instantly understood the mood of Prince Ling Lainei.
My father is still alive, but my mother is making peace with outsiders. As a daughter, how can she tolerate her mother’s lover
The daughter of an ordinary family might just make a lot of noise, but Ling Lai, as the prince of the royal family, wants to eradicate the problem once and for all!
Xiao Zheng pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Your Majesty, I sympathize with your experience."
"No need to sympathize." Ling Lai changed the subject and said with a smile. "As long as Mr. Xiao can kill Ito, the royal family's face will be saved. I will also help you leave Tokyo. You can rest easy."
Xiao Zheng pursed his lips and said, "Then thank you in advance, His Majesty the Prince."
"In this assassination, you and I are allies. And Mr. Xiao is the core figure. If it succeeds, it is my responsibility to thank Mr. Xiao." Ling Lai said slowly. "Besides, I am also willing to lend a helping hand to Mr. Xiao."
"How can I help?" Xiao Zheng asked curiously.
In fact, Xiao Zheng had heard of Prince Ling Lai's name. But like countless Japanese citizens, they only heard of his name and no one had ever seen the true face of this prince. She is not exposed to the spotlight like other concubines, and is extremely mysterious and low-key.
"I will send Mr. Xiao into Ito's villa!" Prince Ling Lainei said word by word.
