"Of course." Xu Rui said expressionlessly, "I never break promises to others."
"Yo Xi." Nakamura Jun nodded and added, "Japan has many bacterial troops stationed in Manchuria, Korea and various parts of Japan. However, these bacterial troops are just branches and do not have the ability to develop bacterial weapons. They really have the ability to develop bacterial weapons. It was the Army Medical School in Shinjuku Ward that developed bacteriological weapons capabilities.”
"The Army Medical School in Shinjuku District, right?" Xu Rui thought coldly.
As a time traveler, Xu Rui actually knew that Japan's Bacteriological Weapons Research Institute was located at the Army Medical School.
However, their mission at this stage is to assassinate Hirohito. Before Hirohito is killed, they cannot take care of destroying the Bacteriological Weapons Research Institute for the time being.
After Jun Nakamura finished speaking, he stood up and left.
After sending Nakamura Jun away, Leng Tiefeng said to Xu Rui with some worry: "Old Xu, regarding Nagata Town, Nakamura Jun's reaction was unexpectedly violent. It is completely conceivable that if he knows that our real goal is actually Hirohito, his reaction will only become more intense, will there be trouble then?"
Leng Tiefeng was worried that Nakamura Shun would relapse.
There are so many secrets that Jun Nakamura knows. Even the identities they are assuming now were arranged by Jun Nakamura. If this old guy shows up again and secretly reports to the Japanese spy agency, then their situation will be dangerous. , the best result at that time is to become a street rat and run for his life in a hurry.
Xu Rui nodded and said in a deep voice: "We have to be on guard. We must prepare for the worst."
Whether in his previous life or in this life, Xu Rui has never worked on the secret front, but having never eaten pork does not mean that he has never seen pigs running. He knows some of the survival rules of the secret front. For now, To say that Shun Nakamura has almost all their secrets is certainly not allowed.
We must find ways to change this situation as soon as possible.
Leng Tiefeng said: "I also think it is necessary to leave a few more escape routes, otherwise even if Shun Nakamura does not repeat himself, if he is exposed, we will immediately fall into a huge passive situation."
Xu Rui nodded and said, "You are responsible for this matter, as soon as possible."
"Okay." Leng Tiefeng nodded and said, "I'll do it right away."
Watching Leng Tiefeng go away, Xu Rui's face turned cold. Setting aside a way out was just a means of self-protection, not the purpose of their trip to Japan. The purpose of their trip was to kill Hirohito! The Kanda Festival will be held in four days. Hirohito will also participate in the festival? This might be an opportunity.
…
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
In just two days, Leng Tiefeng had already prepared several escape routes.
In addition, Wu Han, Mo Zichen and others also completed their visit to the Shinjuku Army Medical School.
The police from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department were not idle either. They launched a blanket search throughout Tokyo. Even the Genbukan of Nakajo Ittoryu was searched. The police who came to search searched every person in the Genbukan. A corner was not spared, and even the toilet gutter was not spared. Naturally, nothing was found in the end.
The poor little devil didn't know that the Xu Rui and Langya they were looking for were actually standing in front of them.
…
On the morning of the third day, early in the morning, an imperial guard from the Imperial Palace came to Xuanwu Hall to inform Xu Rui that Hirohito had a very important matter to discuss with him. Xu Rui immediately had a premonition that the matter Hirohito discussed with him was most likely to be discussed with Kanda. Regarding the sacrifice, he immediately ordered the martial arts disciples to practice on their own, and then followed the imperial guards straight to the imperial palace.
Xu Rui's guess was absolutely correct. Hirohito was not looking for him today to learn kendo, but for tomorrow's Kanda Festival. To be more precise, it was for the security issues at tomorrow's Kanda Festival event.
Who to protect? Of course, it was to protect Hirohito himself. This little devil worked hard enough to survive. He actually thought of gathering all the kendo, judo, and karate masters in Tokyo to form a huge bodyguard team. When the time comes, these masters will be disguised as samurai, and they will fight together. Crowded around him.
When Xu Rui came to the Purple Chen Hall, there were already many masters of kendo, judo and karate gathered inside. Yugoro Kondo was also present. When Xu Rui walked into the Purple Chen Hall, the guards on duty outside the hall loudly called out, and the leader of Nakajo Ittoryu, Shuichi Nakajo, arrived. , upon hearing the roll call, more than a hundred masters in the hall turned their heads and looked outside.
However, except for Yugoro Kondo who nodded slightly to Xu Rui, everyone else had indifferent expressions.
Obviously, Xu Rui's popularity is not very good. Except for Kondo Yugoro, almost everyone hates him. Xu Rui has done many things under the guise of Nakajo Shuichi, especially agreeing to become Hirohito's sword instructor. In a sense, the rules on the road have been seriously violated.
No one likes colleagues who do not follow the rules.
But no matter whether they like it or not, no one dares to come forward to find fault, because through the battle of killing Chiba Musashi, Nakajo Shuichi's reputation has already spread throughout the entire kendo world. Not long ago, he had a battle with Kondo Yugoro at the Imperial Palace Plaza. It also pushed his reputation to the pinnacle. Many people believe that Shuichi Nakajo is already the number one in kendo.
Xu Rui walked forward expressionlessly, and the masters of kendo, judo, and karate in the hall subconsciously moved out of the way. Xu Rui walked straight through the crowd and walked to Yugoro Kondo before standing down, standing proudly in the front row! Looking at Xu Rui's tall back, many masters had angry expressions on their faces, but they dared to be angry but did not dare to say anything. If they were asked to challenge Xu Rui, they really didn't have the courage. After all, they couldn't even beat Chiba Musashi. What's more, Shuichi Nakajo who killed Chiba Musashi
For a moment, the atmosphere in Zichen Palace seemed a little solemn.
Fortunately, this atmosphere did not last long, because the head of the Imperial Household Agency, Abe Tsuchi, rushed over quickly.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry for keeping you all waiting for so long." Abetu apologized profusely as soon as he entered the hall.
The reason why Abe Suchi came late is because until just now, the dozen ministers who participated in the imperial meeting were still arguing and did not reach a unified opinion. To put it simply, some people supported Hirohito's participation in the Kanda Festival, while others opposed it and insisted. I believe that His Majesty the Emperor should not put himself in danger.
The two factions' opinions were each supported by heavyweight ministers, and they were at loggerheads for a while.
Hirohito himself was somewhat hesitant about this, which made it even more difficult to unify opinions.
But just now Hirohito finally made a decision and decided to participate in the Kanda Festival. This ended the quarrel at the imperial meeting, and then Abe Suchi hurried to the Purple Palace Hall to announce his decision.
Abetu's eyes swept across the faces of more than a hundred masters led by Xu Rui and Kondo Yugoro, and then continued: "The purpose of inviting all the masters here today must have been guessed by all the masters. Yes, that's right. This I specially invite you here for tomorrow’s Kanda Festival parade. To be more precise, I want you to serve as samurai for a time and protect His Majesty the Emperor’s chariot during tomorrow’s parade.”
As soon as Abetu finished speaking, whispers began to ring out in the hall.
Japan is a country with a high degree of integration of politics and religion. The emperor has been deified and has the supreme sacred status in the hearts of the people. However, not all Japanese people recognize the sacred status of the emperor, especially the samurai class, who have a strong view of the emperor. Divine status is the least recognized.
This is related to Japanese history, because before the Meiji Restoration, the emperor was basically a puppet. It was the shogun and the daimyo of each domain who really supported the samurai class. Therefore, the samurai would only be loyal to the shogun or the daimyo of each domain, and had no regard for the emperor. Too much awe or recognition.
After the Meiji Restoration, the national government was westernized, and Japan's bureaucracy and armed forces underwent fundamental changes. The old pattern of shoguns and feudal lords relying on samurai to compete in the world was completely broken. The rise of military academies and new-style armies made samurai even more depressed and more vulnerable. Marginalized, from then on, samurai gradually withdrew from the center of power in Japan.
As the status of the samurai decreased, the influence of the kendo, judo and karate schools also declined, so the samurai class had complaints against the emperor.
As soon as Abetu finished speaking, Kondo Yugoro paused and said: "Your Excellency Abe, I am getting old and I am afraid that I can no longer serve His Majesty the Emperor. Please forgive me."
After saying that, Kondo Yugoro turned around and left.
Seeing Yugoro Kondo leaving, many masters of kendo, judo and karate also said goodbye and left. Seeing this scene, Abe Suchi's face immediately darkened, and he recruited private masters to form a temporary escort team to protect His Majesty the Emperor. Safety is a very important part.
If this link is not done well, it will be difficult to ensure the safety of the emperor.
After all, the existing security forces of the imperial family are more than enough to protect the safety of the Imperial Palace. However, it is not enough to protect the safety of His Majesty the Emperor during a large procession with concentrated crowds and complex personnel. Therefore, we must rely on the protection of private forces, especially A master in the world of kendo, judo and karate.
After all, the opponent we have to face this time is Xu Rui and his wolf teeth!
In less than a moment, two-thirds of the masters in Zichen Palace had left.
Seeing so many masters leaving, Abe Suchi's face was a little ugly, but he was not too disappointed. To be honest, more than one-third of the masters could stay, especially the newly rising swordsmen. Master Shuichi Nakajo also stayed, and Abe Suchi breathed a sigh of relief.
A top-notch master like Nakajo Shuichi can stand up to ten of them!
"Yo Xi, I'm really grateful that all the masters can stay here voluntarily." Seeing that no one got up to leave, Abezuchi took a deep breath and bowed deeply and said, "Then tomorrow, the safety of His Majesty the Emperor will be entrusted to all of you. Master, there is still tomorrow. I hope all the masters can come to the Imperial Palace early and make preparations in advance."
"Hai!" The more than fifty people left behind nodded in unison.
