Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 357: Each Has His Own Plans

There is no moon tonight, and the bright starlight cannot illuminate the earth.

At night, the seashore becomes a pool of ink. You can hear the sound of waves coming towards you, but you cannot see the rolling waves.

The ships moored at the pier were gently rising and falling in the invisible waves.

Uncle Lao Gou and Chiya Mikami quietly slipped off the boat under the cover of night.

Uncle Gou had changed into a Japanese-style robe and was following the same path he had taken before, sneaking quickly towards "Daishan Temple" with Chiya Mikami.

Although Yang Yuan didn't want to attack Monk Jinghai right now, he needed to understand Monk Jinghai's current movements.

But if only Uncle Gou was sent alone, he would not be able to understand the Japanese language, which would be the same as not going, so Chiya Mikami had to go with him.

"Dashan Temple" seems particularly lively tonight.

There are people everywhere, up and down the mountain.

Some temples and shrines that were relatively close had already mobilized their deities and believers to carry their sacred objects and rush to the "Dashan Temple" overnight.

This chaos provided great convenience for Chiya Mikami and Uncle Lao Gou. They only needed to follow the noisy crowd and go up the mountain together.

Soon, Uncle Gou, who had climbed the mountain, wearing a coarse cloth kimono and a hair bun, stood in the crowd, raised his fist high, and excitedly followed everyone in shouting "Get on board!"

……

After dinner, Uncle Ji sneaked back into the woods.

It now seems that no one has discovered that they are alive and hiding in this wooden house by the sea.

But if you make a wrong judgment, it will be a disaster.

Uncle Ji is an old soldier, so he naturally knows how serious this is.

The area of ​​this wooden house is not small. Yang Yuan originally wanted Uncle Ji to sleep in the last room for guarding, but was rejected by Uncle Ji.

For him, any negligence could lead to death. Since he has stepped onto the battlefield, he cannot allow himself to rely on luck, so he must be on guard at the periphery to feel at ease.

Kanon Yazawa prepared dinner, and I have to say, although the dishes were simple, they were quite delicious.

Ninjas practice the five ways of food, fragrance, medicine, qi, and body.

The index finger refers to food. In order to maintain their body shape and combat effectiveness, ninjas pay close attention to their diet. If they want to poison someone, they also need to understand the properties of the medicine and the food so that they can know how to match them without being discovered.

Accordingly, she also learned a lot of cooking skills.

After the three women bathed, Yang Yuan also took a hot bath. The hot water was boiled for him by Hua Yin and Xiao Nai.

As soon as the water temperature was adjusted, the two girls ran away in a hurry. When they rushed out of the shoji door, their shoulders bumped into each other, as if Yang Yuan was some kind of monster.

While soaking in the "furo", Yang Yuan slowly thought about his next course of action.

Since his current plan is to control Kanon Yazawa and Konami Tsubakiya to join Ono Aki's "killer group", there is no need for him to continue hiding his identity.

After the main forces of the Hakata temples and shrines set out for Kyoto, he could appear in public and make a big fuss while the enemy's rear was empty.

Next, it is Fujiwara Himeka who needs to hide her identity.

Kanon and Kona are proficient in the "disguise technique", so they can teach it to Fujiwara Himeka.

Although it is impossible to learn advanced "face-changing skills" in a short period of time, Yang Yuan does not need her to be proficient in various disguise techniques. She only needs to be able to dress up in a way that acquaintances cannot recognize.

The plan had been made, so Yang Yuan did not try to isolate the three Fujiwara girls, and he was not afraid that they would run away.

He skillfully obtained a lot of useful information from Tsubakiya Kona, including the situation of Fujiwara Himeka.

Xiao Nai thinks that it doesn't matter if he tells Yang Yuan this information, and it may even help him win sympathy from the Lord God, but for Yang Yuan, it will certainly be of great use.

He now knew very well that as long as he had the "confession" signed by Fujiwara Himeka in his hands, they would not leave even if he drove them away.

After taking a shower, Yang Yuan walked to his dormitory in wooden clogs, opened the shoji door, and was stunned.

Fujiwara no Himeka was kneeling on the mat, and in the light, she looked like a midnight lotus.

She, wearing a "colorless!"

That's the authentic widow's outfit.

She was wearing a pure black kimono, with only a white wisteria flower embroidered on her left chest.

That is the family crest of the Fujiwara family, a "Fujimaru" formed by white wisteria flowers and wisteria branches.

She was wearing a pure black kimono, which made her skin look bright white, and "the wisteria flowers were so charming that they hung down suddenly."

This is the kimono that Fujiwara no Himeka wore when she attended the funeral of a shrine's chief priest.

After attending the funeral, she took Hanayome and Xiaonai to the beach to relax, and the dress was left there.

Today, it actually came in handy.

Is this a role play?

Ah, no! No, she was not acting, she was a real widow. Thinking of how her husband, Kamura, was killed by her decisively, Yang Yuan still felt a little uneasy.

Seeing Yang Yuan, Fujiwara Himeka folded her hands and knelt down before him: "It's late at night, please let Himeka serve Sanyuan Jun and let him rest."

Fujiwara Himeka's face flushed a little when she spoke, but it was not because of shyness, but because of a deep sense of humiliation.

She was only one step away from becoming the queen, but now in order to paralyze Yang Sanyuan, to gain his trust and to get back the "confession", she had to be so humble to him.

Yang Yuan was stunned for a moment. Before he could speak, Fujiwara Himeka, who was kneeling on the ground respectfully, touched her forehead to the back of his palm and said in a tender voice:

"Himeka's shoulder is injured, so I'm afraid she won't be able to enjoy Sanyuan-kun to her heart's content, so please allow Kanon and Kona to join us."

"Wow!"

The shoji doors on the left and right were gently opened. Yazawa Kanon, wearing a blue printed kimono, and Tsubakiya Kona, wearing a pink cherry blossom kimono, knelt down at the left and right doors respectively, and bowed to him shyly...

……

The leaders of various temples and shrines are moving into Daisenji Temple overnight.

The gods and monks from various temples and shrines, as well as the believers they called upon, rushed to "Daishan Temple" overnight, carrying lanterns and torches and playing musical instruments.

A number of bonfires were lit on the mountain, and the teams that arrived earlier placed their sacred trees, sacred sedan chairs and other sacred objects in front of the bonfires.

"Dashan Temple" generously provided food and fine wine, which made the people gathered in front of "Dashan Temple" even more excited.

Some "Beijing children", gamblers, and "non-humans" who wanted to take advantage of the situation thought it was profitable to go to Kyoto to "Aosu", so they also came in groups.

Therefore, although many troops had not arrived yet, a magnificent atmosphere had already appeared in front of "Dashan Temple".

When the Yoshino leader saw this scene, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

The management of Hakata Port by Dazaifu Government Office has long been in name only, and the local temple and shrine organizations represented by "Yaki Shoji" are now the ones that truly control Hakata Port.

Yoshida Seichokan was an official who saw the opportunity early and changed his government in time.

The temples and shrines just happened to need an official who ostensibly still belonged to Dazaifu to work for them, so that they could be legitimate.

Therefore, the two sides hit it off, and Yoshida became a member of "Yaki Shoji" from then on.

However, although Yoshino Administrative Office official enjoyed a high reputation in "Yaki Shoji" due to his special status, his voice and his reputation were not always equal.

Until today, nothing is the same.

Leader Yoshida, along with Monk Jinghai and a group of other temple and shrine leaders, personally distributed supplies to the people who rushed to "Daishan Temple".

When he saw those fierce monks with their heads wrapped in robes, holding bamboo spears with only a pair of eyes exposed, and those samurai who were wiping their samurai swords and full of murderous intent, Yoshida, the leader of the alliance, became more confident.

There were also farmers holding hoes and thugs carrying sticks, and they all looked very energetic.

In particular, each temple and shrine has sent out experts who use the sickle, which shows that they have really spent all their money.

The chain sickle is a sickle with an iron chain added to the handle, and a meteor hammer the size of a child's fist tied to the end of the chain.

The sickle was passed on from China. When it was in China, it was just a sickle for cutting wheat.

But when it was introduced to Japan, it immediately became popular among the samurai.

You have to know that not every samurai at that time could afford a samurai sword.

This inexpensive and high-quality farm tool is also called a knife.

Therefore, the sickle soon became the standard weapon for lower-level samurai in Japan at that time.

In that era, if you saw a man with a sickle on his waist on the streets of Japan, he was most likely not a farmer, but a samurai.

The warriors gradually gained some experience in using sickles in actual combat, and then used their intelligence and wisdom to improve the sickles.

They added an iron chain and a hammer to the sickle, and from then on it was called "lock sickle".

When the sickle turns into a chain sickle, it becomes a high-end weapon.

Because if you are not proficient in using it, it is easy for the meteor hammer at the chain head to turn back and hit your own head when you are doing it.

And once you master it, this headache-inducing weapon will turn you into a master.

Once upon a time, there was a samurai who was skilled in using the kusarigama, and he duelled with six samurai who were armed with samurai swords.

The two sides confronted each other for two hours, until the warrior holding the sickle's arms became sore and was captured by his opponent.

Because without bows and spears, five or six men with knives will never be able to take down a guy with a sickle, unless there is a huge difference in your skills.

When Alliance Leader Yoshida was "rewarding the troops", he certainly saw some discordant scenes.

For example, there are drunk people acting crazy, hooligans fighting, and people stealing things, but these are all trivial problems.

When Yoshida first agreed to be the initiator of "Ao Su", he still felt a little uneasy, but now, he is full of confidence!
Tomorrow morning, my team will be even more spectacular!
Leader Yoshida stood on the mountain, looking at the torches surging like long snakes from the bottom of the mountain, and thought with confidence.

This spectacular scene flashed in his dreams all night long.
