Early autumn, sunny days.

The sunlight came in through the thin layer of window paper and projected on Yoshida Matsuyo's body.He smiled gently at Takashi Yoshida and Atsushi Nishizawa who were sitting opposite him, just smiled like that, and did nothing.

There was a strange fragrance in the air, the source of this fragrance was the incense sent by Doctor Yin a few days ago, he said that this thing does not look very good, but it is still very good to use.Not to mention that this incense can have a subtle effect on the body, but the effect of this incense on people's "mindfulness and tranquility" is indeed first-class.

Maureen stopped and stood at the door with her arms raised in the air, wondering if she should knock down.

There have been too many variables in the past three years. Although my father, Mr. Songyang and the short man in black didn't say anything, their worries about the city of Edo were written on their cheeks.Yoshida Shoyo and Yoshida Takashi are hard to say, but this little girl knows her father's emotions well, as long as there is a slight change in his eyebrows, she will be able to know what kind of emotion is in his heart at the moment.

Three years ago, the death of Koga Taro caused quite a disturbance in Edo Castle—the shogunate ordered to hunt down all the ninjas in Edo Castle. The family fell into a slump and disappeared from the rivers and lakes, and many former ninjas also concealed their identities as much as possible, no longer appeared as ninjas, and lived the most ordinary life. Not in vain.

Fortunately, Dr. Yin's reputation has been greatly reduced since Nishinomiya Tadaimyo's death. In addition, he has always kept a low profile and did not cause any trouble in this turmoil. He can still live freely and come and go like the wind.Occasionally, I would come to the private school at the foot of Mount Suhara to chat with Yoshida Shoyo and others about the world outside today, drink small tea and play chess.

Hidesuke Kato stood behind Mo Lin in a white dress, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, speechless to the silver-haired boy who was hiding in the stone pile behind them at the moment.To say that he can be regarded as the oldest senior in this private school, the little guy Squalo's mind is naturally to make a good guess, and he will not be wrong no matter what.Just saying that the way he spends day and night with Mo Lin, a little girl, loves and kills each other, it is enough to prove that this guy's position towards Maureen is naturally not as simple as an ordinary friend or opponent.

Oh, I forgot to mention, the reason why the two stood at the door of Yoshida Shoyang and hesitated whether to go in was all due to the knife on Maureen's back.Speaking of this knife, it is necessary to talk about the stone brought by the gods who sneaked into Edo-it is also the source of the murder of Koga Taro and Koga Jiro.

Maureen, who was practicing swordsmanship with Kato Hidesuke in the dojo, suddenly felt that the knife in her hand was hot, and she couldn't hold it firmly, and the knife fell to the ground.It's good if you don't fall, as soon as you fall, something will happen.The stone inlaid on the knife suddenly shattered. This situation caused Gui Xiaotaro and the others to stop their work one after another, staring at the two with blinking eyes, and then turned to the side and fell asleep. Squalo, who did not break the silence first.

——According to the theory, this stone should be the key to Squalo's return to the original world, and the key to unraveling the conspiracy of heaven and man. It is also an ornament on Maureen's precious knife. Is it really okay to break it like this? ?

I saw Bantian Yinshi, who talked the most, closed his hands with his hands, closed his eyes, and murmured, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"Silver time, the time span is too big, and it's not yet the New Year." Gui Xiaotaro shook his head and said.

"Wait, it doesn't seem like this is the point of complaining!! It's broken!! This thing is broken!! Are you sure it's still safe?" Dong Chuan Masano said, "It's over, I didn't do my homework well, but I went to watch TV and finally Was found by the mother who came back" staring at Maureen, said.

Maureen sighed first, put the pieces away carefully, and said, "I'll go find my father."

"I'll accompany you."

——That’s why Maureen and Hidesuke Kato are here.And Squalo appeared here, oh no, it was because of the "rock pile" behind here, presumably he was specially instigated by the group of monkey children... Of course, it is not ruled out that he is the former To figure out the possibility of whether you can still go home.

buckle -

While Maureen's hand was still in the space, Hidesuke Kato knocked on the door first.Under Maureen's bewildered expression, I pushed her inside. I wanted to close the door quickly, but it was still half a beat behind Squalo. A loud noise spread throughout the room. The three adults and two children just like that Depressedly staring at Squalo, who was facing the ground at this time and fell to the ground, he looked at each other, speechless.

"Squalo, are you performing a circus lion jumping through a fire hoop?" Yoshida Takashi couldn't hold back and said with a smile.

"No, no, I think it should be a shark jumping over the dragon's gate to be precise," Maureen said.

"Are you sure it's not a carp jumping over the dragon's gate?" Hidesuke Kato held a book in his hand and patted Maureen's head lightly. The latter smiled at his move, shook his head and nodded.

"Little guy, what are you doing here?" Nishizawa Jun dotingly pulled his daughter into his arms, as if deliberately keeping her and Kato Hidesuke at a distance, and asked leisurely.

"Oh." Maureen responded, took out the gravel and the knife in her arms, and said, "Father, when I was practicing with Brother Xiujie just now, the knife suddenly became very hot, and cracks appeared in the stone immediately. , and I didn't hold it, and fell to the ground, and the stone broke inexplicably."

Nishizawa Jun's expression was slightly gloomy, he seemed to have deep doubts and puzzlement about this situation.He stretched out his hand to hold the gravel, looked up and down, nodded and shook his head thoughtfully, and remained silent.

Yoshida Matsuyo and Yoshida Takashi looked at each other, and the two brothers smiled tacitly.Yoshida Shoyo didn't do much, just moved his body, and then pulled Squalo, who had just got up from the ground, to his side, and Kato Hidesuke followed, Yoshida Takashi suddenly pulled out the knife and pointed it at the ceiling As soon as it was thrown, a figure just fell down.

"Oh...you can't do it anywhere, you have to stick my ass." The person who fell was none other than the youngest son of the Koga family that the shogunate hadn't caught in the past three years - Koga Santaro.He still had a lazy smile on his face, touching the flesh on his butt, complaining innocently.

"Who told you to hide on the roof of someone's house and not say a word? You deserved to be stabbed." Yoshida Takashi interjected.

"Okay. Now, Changji, oh no, I should call you Nishizawa." He got up and walked in front of Nishizawa Jun, and then he took out the small stones that were also broken into pieces in his arms, and said with a smile: "As I guessed, the stone on your side was also broken. Just now, all the stones collected by our Koga family were also broken—almost at the same time. I think this probably has some strange meaning , I guessed whether the same situation might happen here, but I didn’t expect it to be true.”

"What do you think about this?" Nishizawa asked.

"Well, hypothetical... I mean hypothetical—assuming that these stones are some kind of foreshadowing? It's like the alarm bell that sounded before the war." Koga Santaro said every word, walking to Opening the door, Gu He Hua Ling walked in, nodding towards the people inside as a greeting.

"Yo, I haven't seen you for so many years." Squalo seemed to be sarcastic, thinking with his toes that he must still remember Gu He Hualing's strange palm three years ago and the shock it caused him.Seeing this woman again now is really uncomfortable, indescribable.

"It's true that I haven't seen you for many years. You are still the same as before, nothing has changed. It is our ninja who suffers."

Hidesuke Kato narrowed his eyes and said, "Girl, you mean something."

"For the past three years, the shogunate has been chasing and killing ninjas centered on the Koga family and spread all over Edo. The source of this move is all because of the original owner of these stones - Tianren. The shogunate still can't stop the ninja spies we arranged inside them. Just a few days ago..." Guhe Hualing suddenly paused, as if she didn't have the courage to continue speaking, and seemed to be sobbing softly.And Santaro Koga didn't seem to want to continue talking about these things, so everyone had to wait for Hualing Koga to recover.

I only heard this beautiful girl say: "Three years ago, the celestial beings who appeared in Edo threatened the shogunate staff. If they don't sign a treaty with them, they will send people to attack Edo Castle. Make Edo a dead city."

Everyone: "..."

"Back then, the reason why the shogunate ordered to hunt down all the ninjas in Edo was because the Heavenly Man threatened them that if they didn't let the ninjas disappear in Edo Castle, the entire Shogunate would disappear, and Edo Castle would also disappear. It is the next target. The shogunate actually believed in Tianren and made this decision, but how could Tianren let it go? The shogunate didn’t even think about it. It’s not that Tianren has enmity with ninjas... Now, now they are making progress and forcing the shogunate Sign the treaty."

"Sure enough... that storm will not be so simple."

"I think the reason why these stones became like this may really be what my brother said - it was the alarm bell of the war. Tianren has already figured out the situation in Edo in the past three years, no, maybe three years ago, Maybe they've been plotting to take Edo ever since. These stones are proof that they have power that we don't."

"Voi!!! What are you afraid of?" Squalo suddenly opened his mouth, and the knife plunged straight into the wooden floor.He stood up with a displeased expression on his face, and said, "Possess power that we don't have? It's so funny... This is not the reason why they can become kings of Edo!"

"Puchi——" Yoshida Shoyo's dull face suddenly brightened up. He nodded and said, "Squalo is right. Edo...we will protect it."
