Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 381 Good to be a teacher
"Mr. Sanyuan, how come you got here so quickly?" Xiaonai said in surprise.

Before that, Yang Yuan watched them perform some operations first.

First, they closed the window.

Then they took out a net-like material that seemed to be made of hemp, and covered the door and the floor with it.

Then, they pulled Yang Yuan to sit on the couch.

Yang Yuan estimated that the mesh should be able to absorb sound to a certain extent.

Sitting on the couch instead of standing on the floor can also provide a certain degree of sound insulation.

This sound insulation effect should not be particularly obvious, but for ninjas who can stick to the bottom of the ship and hear people talking on the ship, even if it is only a little bit effective, it is obviously very necessary.

Even so, Xiaonai's voice was still very low, almost close to Yang Yuan's ear.
That soft and tender voice with a hint of joy warmed Yang Yuan's heart. He couldn't help but hug her slender waist and gave her a gentle kiss on the lips.

Xiaonai's face turned red instantly, but her deer-like eyes narrowed comfortably.

Hua Yin felt a little jealous, so she hugged Yang Yuan's arm and whispered in his other ear, "San Yuan Jun, is Sister Ji Xiang okay?"

She was clearly saying that she cared about Fujiwara Himeka, but she hugged Yang Yuan's arm too tightly, and one of Yang Yuan's arms was completely squeezed against the bulge.

Xiaonai narrowed her eyes and smiled. Obviously, she saw that Sister Huayin was arguing with her, but she didn't care.

In Xiaonai's eyes, the four of them have long been one. If he likes Sister Kanon, then he likes her, so why differentiate between them?

Yang Yuan said calmly, "I knew it when you just arrived at the Yanpu Wharf. But considering that you haven't settled down yet, I didn't rush to meet you."

"Wow! Is San Yuan Jun so well-informed?"

Xiao Nai's eyes sparkled as she said in surprise, "San Yuan Jun is indeed an extraordinary figure."

Yang Yuan glanced at her, and Xiao Nai said hurriedly: "Ah! Xiao Nai didn't mean to inquire about the identity of San Yuan Jun. Xiao Nai meant, meant..."

Xiao Nai bit her lip and said with a red face: "Xiao Nai means that San Yuan Jun is an amazing...person."

Her eyes just glanced down lightly, staring at a certain part of Yang Yuan and smiling shyly, and the meaning was completely different.

It turns out that Xiaonai is very shy, but also very bold and enthusiastic.

Yang Yuan knew that she was forcing an explanation, so he snorted and said, "When you complete the task, I will let you know my identity, but not now."

Then, he turned to the other side and said to Kanon, who was holding his hand and squeezing into his arms restlessly, "Himeka is doing well now. She lives in a very quiet and peaceful place. She eats well and sleeps well."

Although Yang Yuan had locked Fujiwara Himeka in an underground secret room since returning to Lin'an, and had not visited her until now and did not know how she was doing, this did not affect the sincerity of Yang Yuan's words at all.

In the underground secret room of the Yang residence in Renmeifang, Fujiwara Himeka sneezed, rubbed her nose, and continued to read the words in the book.

She couldn't help but turn the page first, and she saw the part where Liu Xuande entrusted his son to others in Baidi City.

"Your talent is ten times that of Cao Pi. You will surely be able to stabilize the country and finally settle major issues. If the heir is capable, assist him; if he is not, you can take over for yourself."

Fujiwara Himeka, who already called herself the feminine version of the Big Ear Thief, nodded in agreement: "That's right! This is my attitude towards Yang Yuan now. If he wins, I'll be his wife. If I win, he'll be my lover. Perfect!"

Yang Yuan said, "But she lives in a remote and secret place, so I can't take you to see her. Let's wait until you complete your mission. Have you found out your specific action plan?"

Hanane leaned forward, leaned on his shoulder, and whispered, "On the boat, Yagyu Jonin gave us the mission. He told our group, Xiaonai and I separately."

She was kneeling like this, leaning forward while talking, which was obviously quite strenuous, so something was pressing against Yang Yuan's shoulder, and it was about to be crushed.

Yang Yuan stretched out his hand and held Hua Yin, who was as petite as Xiao Nai, on his lap. This way, he felt much more relaxed when she could talk into his ear.

Xiao Nai licked her lips and looked at Sister Hua Yin who was sitting in Yang Yuan's arms with some envy. She wanted it too.

Yang Yuan listened to what Yazawa Kanon said quietly.

Monk Jinghai and Yoshida Seijyou, the chief and deputy envoys, were completely useless in the entire plan; they were just a pair of decorations.

Monk Jinghai would visit famous monasteries in Lin'an, such as Lingyin Temple, Tianzhu Temple, and Xiangji Temple, with the main focus on cultural exchange.

Yoshida's government officials met with officials and businessmen from the Song Dynasty to discuss expanding trade between the two countries.

The task assigned to them by Taira no Kiyomori was a serious diplomatic mission.

The actual leader of the assassination plan was the senior ninja Yagyu Jushitake, whose public identity was the judge of the Japanese delegation.

In addition to sailors, helmsmen, and interpreters, there were also ninjas among the delegation. Their public identities included the chief god, fortune teller, onmyoji, doctor, painter, musician, cook, and musician...

However, since most ninjas came from poor backgrounds, and going abroad to carry out assassination missions was the first time in their business scope, foreign language skills were never included in their courses.

Therefore, even the Yagyu Jounin spoke Chinese haltingly, and the only ones who were truly proficient in Chinese were Kanon and Kona.

They also explained to Yagyu Jounin why he was proficient in Chinese.

In fact, we can just copy their experience of following Fujiwara no Himeka and their process of mastering the Chinese language.

They only need to replace Fujiwara Himeka with some powerful person who died after losing in a political struggle.

Yagyu Sanshitake attached great importance to their Chinese ability. Although they were women and could not serve as interpreters for diplomatic missions, Yagyu Sanshitake gave them great authority and allowed them to go in and out of Lin'an frequently on their own to become familiar with the local customs and culture.

It seems that Yagyu Shishitake wanted them to play a more important role in the assassination mission.

As for the specific assassination plan, it is actually very simple.

1. Create chaos.

2. Kill people in chaos. Yang Yuan asked: "How to create chaos?"

Hanane said simply, "I don't know."

This answer is very straightforward.

Xiao Nai explained: "Yagyu Jōnin said that when the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty burns incense, there will be chaos, and this is the opportunity to take action. But he did not say how to cause the chaos."

Yang Yuan thought for a moment and asked, "They have carefully manufactured three tubes of 'Divine Fire Flying Crow'. How do they plan to use them?"

Hua Yin and Xiao Nai looked at each other and asked, "What is the 'Divine Fire Flying Crow' that San Yuanjun mentioned?"

Well, it was obvious that they knew nothing about this firearm invented by the Song Dynasty, and their mission did not include igniting the Divine Fire Flying Crow.

Yang Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "So what are you two specifically responsible for?"

Both of them could answer this question.

Xiao Nai answered readily, "Yagyu Jōnin said that on Lantern Festival night, the emperor of the Song Dynasty celebrates with the people. Along the canal and in the Xiangji Temple, the emperor's tour route and the place where he burns incense will be checked repeatedly and no passers-by will be allowed to pass.

However, since the emperor wanted to share the joy with the people, he would not drive them away.

According to the custom of previous years, people on both sides of the canal watching the lanterns and believers burning incense in Xiangji Temple were not prohibited.

However, when the emperor went to the temple to burn incense, most tourists would linger in the side halls.

My sister Hanane and I disguised ourselves as girls from the State of Song burning incense and hid among the people.

When chaos breaks out, if the Emperor of Song has not died in the Great Hall, we will launch an attack, break through the defenses, and assassinate him."

"Um……"

Yang Yuan felt a little annoyed after hearing this. He was not clear about Qin Hui's specific arrangements. How could he successfully point the finger at Qin Hui after the death of "Ninth Sister"?
Kanon and Kona are actually his people, so there is still room for maneuver.

The biggest problem is how to make Kanon and Kona work without knowing the details of the action plan.

Yang Yuan thought about it and patted the bed casually.

Xiao Nai immediately understood what he meant, and quickly crawled over to the place where he was taking the photo, then sat down with one leg bent and the other stretched out.

Yang Yuan lay down and thought quietly with his head resting on her thighs.

Seeing this, Hanane moved from his thighs to the couch and gently massaged his legs.

Seeing this, Xiao Nai was not willing to be outdone and started massaging Yang Yuan's shoulders.

Yang Yuan simply closed his eyes and continued to think while enjoying the gentle service of the two.

Wait, Qin Hui has recovered from his illness...

A light bulb suddenly lit up in Yang Yuan's mind. As the prime minister, he should accompany the emperor on Lantern Festival, right?

Since he "returned" early to avoid suspicion, he would not have pretended to be sick on the Lantern Festival to avoid the assassination scene.

It is even possible to resort to some self-torture and suffer minor injuries in order to gain people's trust.

Thinking of this, Yang Yuan gradually came up with an idea.

Since you can't borrow a knife, why not do it yourself? That way you can take the initiative, right?
There is no need to think about the specific action plan now. Without knowing the other party's detailed plan, any detailed response measures can only be empty talk. The important thing is to have the correct response ideas.

Now that we have an idea, the rest will be easy.

Thinking of this, Yang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, opened his arms and patted the couch lightly.

When Yazawa Kanon and Tsubakiya Kona saw this, one of them moved over and the other lay down from sitting, and both rested their heads on his arms.

As Yang Yuan's hands moved, he could hear a gradually hot and rapid breathing by his ears.

Hua Yin suddenly grabbed Yang Yuan's mischievous hand and whispered in his ear, "No, San Yuan Jun, we... can't help but scream."

There were female ninjas living in the rooms opposite and downstairs, and she knew very well that if she couldn't control herself and made a sound, it would be difficult for others to hear her.

Xiao Nai blushed and whispered in Yang Yuan's ear: "Who said San Yuan Jun is a big...person? Xiao Nai and Sister Hua Yin can't handle it."

Hanane said, "Yagyu Jounin has given Xiaonai and me permission to go to Lin'an City from time to time, and then we can... So, please be patient, Sanyuan-kun."

Yang Yuan sighed and said, "It seems that I won't be able to learn a foreign language tonight."

"Learn a foreign language?"

Xiao Nai asked curiously, "If San Yuan-jun wants to learn Japanese, I can teach you in the future."

Yang Yuan said: "Okay, then... the three of us will learn idioms tonight."

Hanane and Xiaonai were wondering when Sanyuanjun became so eager to teach others.

However, even though they don't understand, they are very obedient.

So, they quickly started to learn idioms by practicing them.

Without saying anything, they speak in unison, one high and two low, two chiefs, two dragons playing with a pearl, two become one, three minds and two minds, only two flavors, one come and two go, clean and done...
