The word "outsourcing" is very vivid. After hearing it, Huanji couldn't help but nod. "That is indeed possible. However, the Iga clan is very likely to take on this outsourcing job. But given the situation of the Iga in China, the military will probably drive the price down very low."

It was indeed very low; even Xu San, as the employer, felt that the money given to Hanzo was too little.

However, since they are not one's own compatriots, one doesn't feel sorry for exploiting them; on the contrary, one is happy.

As he thought about it, a slight smile appeared on Xu San's lips.

"What are you laughing at?" Huanji asked.

"Oh, I'm laughing. We can finally be close again," Xu San replied casually, but in his heart he was thinking, "Wouldn't it be cheap if I hired Iga ninjas to assassinate some important Japanese officials?"

This idea was fleeting and was immediately rejected by Xu San.

We need to take a long-term approach. We can't start by assassinating important officials. We should first assassinate those traitors, as they are cheaper. Then we can assassinate those Japanese merchants who plunder the Chinese people, like Fujii in "The Grand Dyehouse".

This way, we can proceed step by step and finally eliminate the key figures.

"I feel like you're thinking about something bad!" Huanji stared at Xu San. "It's definitely not anything between men and women."

“I was thinking, could we hire you Kii-ryu to do some dirty work?”

“That’s not impossible. Who would complain about having too much money?” Huan Ji replied, then her eyes darted around, her eyebrows twitched slightly, and she gently scratched the side of her nose with her fair fingers. “You’ll have to talk to our leader about this.”

“Why don’t we just go directly to you instead of him? Wouldn’t it be better to cut out the middleman?” Xu San stared at Huan Ji, his eyes gleaming with wisdom.

Huanji shook her head and stood up. "This kind of thing is a major taboo for us ninjas. Although the Iga of the Demon Capital took on the outsourcing, it was Hanzo who took it, so it doesn't count as breaking the rules."

"Alright!" Xu San had only been testing the waters, and seeing that Huan Ji wouldn't agree, he didn't press the matter further. Footsteps approached again, and Xu San turned to see that it was Xiao Hong bringing Sister Hua.

Hua Jie only glanced at Huan Ji and knew that the woman in front of her was not simple. Although she looked about the same age as Xiao Hong, Hua Jie knew that Huan Ji should be about the same age as her.

As always, Sister Hua was poised and elegant. She walked gently to Huanji and said with a smile, "Why don't you come inside and sit down, little sister? The wind in this doorway is quite strong; you might catch a cold if you're not careful."

"It's nothing, thank you for your concern, sister-in-law. I'm quite healthy, a little breeze won't bother me," Huan Ji said with a smile, then stood up. "Come, sister-in-law, please sit down."

Huanji then gave up her seat.

Sister Hua nodded gently, then looked at Xu San, "Isn't it inappropriate to leave the guests here?"

Xu San didn't want Huan Ji to enter the courtyard, even though she had been inside before, and more than once.

But now that Sister Hua has spoken, Xu San still has to give her face.

"Phantom Girl, please come in."

Xu San stood up and gestured for him to proceed.

So the three of them, two women and one man, went through the back door and into the courtyard.

In the courtyard, Ma Cuilan, Xiao Yatou, and Su Yuan were tidying up Dapeng.

Seeing the group enter, the little girl immediately grabbed a tomato and ran over. (End of Chapter)
