Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 356 Qualified Ninja

On the beach, facing the sea breeze, Yang Yuan's mood fluctuated like the waves.

Now, he had basically understood Qin Hui's plan.

First of all, the location of the action is Xiangji Temple, which should be correct.

There is no doubt that the target of the operation is "Wanyan's Ninth Sister".

As for the time of action, I had indeed heard it wrong before. It should not be Yuexi, but Yuanxi, which is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival.

Ono Mingxi is busy recruiting killers. If the action is scheduled for the Mid-Autumn Festival next year, he doesn't have to be so anxious.

Yang Yuan now has several options, each with its own pros and cons.

One is to give up looking for Ono Mingxi.

Since he already knew that Ono Mingxi was the executor, he just had to keep an eye on the people he sent out without making any noise. After they killed "Ninth Sister", he would expose their relationship with Qin Hui on the spot, use the treacherous ministers to kill the tyrant, and then kill the treacherous ministers in the name of regicide. That would be enough.

However, if we do this, there will be too many uncertainties in the plan.

Because he couldn't know the details of the plan, what if it got out of control?
If both princes wanted to accompany "Ninth Sister" at that time, how to transfer them apart reasonably?

If we cannot get solid evidence against Qin Hui and cannot deal with him, and our ninth sister dies, wouldn't that be like shooting ourselves in the foot?

The second option is to find Ono Mingxi and tell him directly that he and the people behind him already know his plan.

All Ono Mingxi needed was someone who was capable of opening the door to maritime trade for him in the Song Dynasty.

Of course, Yang Yuan is not qualified to make a promise to Ono Mingxi now, but he can use the prince's name as a pretext to deceive him first, regardless of whether it is true or not.

In this way, Ono Akihabara will most likely abandon Qin Hui and choose to cooperate with him.

With Ono Mingxi's cooperation, he was confident that he could legally kill Qin Changjiao after Qin Changjiao killed "Jiu Mei".

However, this also has a disadvantage, which is that he handed a fatal handle to Ono Mingxi.

From now on, he will be controlled by others and used by Ono Akihabara.

Moreover, once the new emperor finds out about this, neither Zhao Yuan nor Zhao Yu will be able to tolerate him.

No monarch can tolerate a person who acts on his own initiative and plans to assassinate the king to stay by his side, even if he is the beneficiary.

However, Yang Yuan did not want to miss this opportunity.

"Ninth Sister" was so resilient that even after he abdicated, he still controlled most of the power.

As a result, the Song Dynasty would miss the best opportunity for counterattack and would have to survive in a corner.

Therefore, the ninth sister must die!
After thinking about it, Yang Yuan suddenly came up with a bold idea.

Since Fujiwara Himeka, Yazawa Kanon and Tsubakiya Konai can die for each other.

So, how about he control Fujiwara Himeka, use her as a hostage, force Kanon and Kona to work for him, and become a member of the "Assassin Group" selected by Ono Aki?
Wouldn't that be equivalent to planting two nails among the killers?
In this way, he can ensure that Qin Changjiao's plan to kill the king will not get out of his control.

Kanon Yazawa and Konami Tsubakiya have a great advantage in competing for the killer position.

First of all, they have been with Fujiwara Himeka for a long time and are fluent in Chinese.

Most ninjas probably don’t understand a word of Chinese, and their “business scope” has never gone beyond this island country.

Another thing is that among the guards around Ono Mingxi, there are fellow disciples of Hanane and Xiaonai.

Although this strange organization of ninjas never emphasizes friendship among fellow disciples, but each of them serves their own master, brothers from the same sect and even those who once studied together can turn their swords against each other without hesitation.

But when their goals are the same, the relationship of being in the same school is still very advantageous.

The third advantage of Kanon and Kona is that they are women.

When the emperor travels, security is bound to be strict, but how many people would regard two young girls as a threat?
Ono Akihiro must have been very smart to be able to rise from a mere businessman to a person respected by Taira no Kiyomori, and he would not have failed to take this favorable condition into consideration.

However, if that were the case, I would have to kill the three of them immediately after the deed was accomplished to silence them!

Only in this way can this matter remain a secret forever.

Thinking of this, Yang Yuan felt a little reluctant.

When fighting, he would kill, but using people to do things for him and then killing them to silence them was not within his bottom line.

However, Yang Yuan's bottom line has always been flexible.

Thinking that if this plan succeeded, it might change the tragic fate of countless people, and the tragic scene of "more than 100,000 corpses floating in the sea" under Yashan might never happen again, Yang Yuan made up his mind.

Kill, just kill him!

When Yang Yuan made up his mind to kill, Fujiwara Himeka also persuaded Yazawa Kanon and Tsubakiya Konai.

"This is the only way out. We are women. If a woman wants a man to trust her, this is the fastest and best way.

Once I get the 'confession' back and we have no worries, we will kill him immediately!"

Hanane and Xiaonai looked at each other and agreed reluctantly.

Especially Xiaonai, who was particularly shy and nervous at this moment.

Although she is the youngest, she is the first girl to be conquered by Fujiwara Himeka, who has a special fetish.

When Kanon became one of them and the threesome started, she was very shy and embarrassed, and even now she is not very open.

But now..., the threesome is about to become a meal for four, and Yang Sanyuan is a man. Xiaonai is shaking with nervousness.

When Yang Yuan walked into the room, his eyes met Fujiwara Himeka's.

Their eyes just met and then they looked away at the same time.

Fujiwara Himeka was afraid that Yang Yuan would see the murderous intent hidden in her eyes.

Yang Yuan was a little soft-hearted because he thought about killing her after using her, which is a common problem among men.

However, their eyes only slightly shifted before they met again, because at the moment, they both needed to gain each other's trust as quickly as possible.

"Mr. Sanyuan, I want to take a bath." Fujiwara Himeka asked Yang Yuan respectfully.

This big house is their vacation place and it is built very luxuriously.

Facing the beach is a large open space, but behind it are two connected rows of houses. It is actually a U-shaped building with an elegant courtyard in the middle.

The building is fully equipped with all kinds of facilities and even food.

It can be seen that they must come here often, so there is naturally a bathroom.

Yang Yuan said: "Okay, you can go one by one."

"But..." Fujiwara Himeka lowered her head gracefully, looking shy: "In that case, I'll have to ask Sanyuanjun for help."

"What do you mean?"

Fujiwara Himeka said: "I have an injury on my shoulder and cannot get wet. Besides, I can't reach my back now."

"That's it..."

Yang Yuan pinched his chin and thought, is this woman looking for an opportunity to discuss with her two subordinates how to escape my control? Or is she trying to seduce me?

"Okay, Kanon, you accompany Himeka to the bath."

Yang Yuan nodded, watched Fujiwara Himeka and Yazawa Kanon walk towards the back courtyard, then patted the layers of compresses beside him.

"Hi!"

Tsubakiya Konai quickly agreed, crawled in front of him quickly, and sat down with one leg bent and the other stretched out.

This position was obviously more comfortable than her previous one and was less likely to cause her legs to go numb.

Yang Yuan asked her to come over, originally just wanting to chat with her.

He had already noticed that this very cute little girl was the least scheming among the three girls.

Since Fujiwara Himeka wanted to play tricks on him, he might as well take advantage of the situation and send away the most difficult Fujiwara Himeka and the relatively mature Yazawa Kanon, and ask this Xiaonai about their situation.

I don’t want Tsubakiya Konai to misunderstand. Is she addicted to using it as a pillow?
Yang Yuan disrespectfully lay down on her lap and pointed at his head.

Tsubakiya Konai was confused for just a moment before she understood. She helped Yang Yuan untie his bun, let his hair down, then stretched out her slender fingers and gently massaged him.

Yang Yuan asked: "Miss Xiaonai?"

"Yes!"

"You and Kanon are ninjas from the Nara Asuka faction?"

"Yes!"

"How long have you been following Himeka?"

"Five years. Before the Goddess got married, Xiaonai and Sister Hanane were chosen by the Goddess to stay with her."

"how old are you?"

"Seventeen."

"So, five years ago, you were only twelve years old. You left the sect so early, so your ninjutsu should be very ordinary, right?"

Tsubakiya Konai was not convinced, and straightened her back, saying, "It takes an average ninja three years to become a master.

Xiaonai started learning ninjutsu at the age of six, and when she was chosen by Fujiwara no Kami, she had already studied ninjutsu for six years.

At that time, I could easily climb rocks dozens of feet high, and I could use a reed to lurk underwater for a day and a night.

I am good at fighting underwater, and I can also lurk under the boat and eavesdrop on the conversations of the people on the boat...

I can run fast in a swamp that would drown even a deer, and I can find water sources in the wilderness by following ant holes..."

She is indeed a young girl who has not experienced much of the world. If it were Kanon, she would definitely not tell me so much.

As for that terrible woman Ji Xiang, I may be misled by her.

Yang Yuan thought to himself.

Xiao Nai concluded proudly: "I am a ninja who has completed the five tests of food, fragrance, medicine, qi, and body impeccably before I can officially become a master."

Yang Yuan closed his eyes and said while receiving the massage: "But you don't look like a ninja at all."

"What does Sanyuan-kun think a ninja should look like? Wearing an indigo-colored suit and a hood on the head?
That kind of clothing is just a combat outfit suitable for us at night, especially in the jungle.

That kind of clothing has many pockets that can hold a lot of tools. The clothes are also soaked in special medicines, which can drive away mosquitoes, snakes and ants when you are sneaking in the jungle at night.

But we carry out missions not only at night, but more often during the day.

We have to dress up as an inconspicuous passerby, using the art of appearance, shapeshifting, and voice changing to completely disguise ourselves as another person..."

When Yang Yuan heard that they would soak a piece of clothing in medicine to repel mosquitoes, snakes and ants, he had never expected this.

It is true that every profession has its specialties. Any skill, after repeated refinement, will inevitably have its unique features.

If they fight head-on, this Tsubakiya Konai is definitely not his opponent, but if he is targeted by such a person and assassinated, it will be a real headache.

At this moment, Yang Yuan even felt a desire to find talent.

If I get them into the Youqiu Division and help Father Song train scouts for me...

But when he thought of the serious hidden dangers that would come to him if they were alive, Yang Yuan gave up the idea.

Never mind. Next, I just need to do a small experiment to confirm that the three of them can really die for each other.

Then, just put the two female ninjas, Kanon and Kona, on Ono Aki's "killer list".
