Su Hao shook his head with great regret and looked at the wandering samurai, saying, "The second path is here, with its beautiful scenery, which is very suitable as your final resting place."
"!!!!" The wandering samurai looked at the maid Ella walking towards him.
The other person was clearly dressed in a pure white maid outfit, but the wandering samurai felt as if she were a demon from hell, about to drag him down into hell.
"I'll talk!! I'll talk!!!" The wandering samurai immediately changed his tune, looking at Su Hao very hurriedly and saying, "I choose the first path."
Seeing the wandering samurai's expression, Su Hao joked, "Didn't you say you'd rather die than reveal this?"
The wandering samurai glanced at the expressionless Ella and said with a bitter face, "I'm not dead yet, am I? Better to live a miserable life than die. I was just being polite to show that I also have dignity."
"I didn't expect you to be so unpredictable. Generally speaking... Ugh!!!"
While the wandering samurai was rambling on, Ella held her water katana to his neck and said expressionlessly, "Stop talking nonsense and get to the point."
"I'll talk! I'll talk!!!" Feeling the chill on his neck, the wandering samurai told everything.
Chapter Five Deliberately Targeting
chapter Five
The surviving wandering warrior told them everything he knew, explaining why they knew of Su Hao's existence.
The reason is simple: in recent years, these wandering samurai, or rather, the nobushiku, have been buying information from a mysterious person.
The mysterious man was wrapped in a black robe and never showed his face, but his intelligence network was indeed very comprehensive.
Within Inazuma Castle, the intelligence reports detail the recent departure times of the named nobles, their destinations, activities, and the number of people accompanying them.
Several groups of people, after obtaining information from that mysterious person, secretly made several big deals and received generous rewards, thus ending their miserable lives of living on the edge.
Seeing others benefit, the group of wandering samurai were naturally tempted, and they also found the mysterious man and obtained information from him.
And then... that was it. They were all wiped out.
"So, you've set your sights on me?" Su Hao's expression was somewhat strange.
Ella narrowed her eyes slightly, a strange light flickering in them, clearly indicating that she was considering something.
The surviving wandering samurai cried out that he was innocent, saying, "We didn't mean to target you! We came here... just to pick some violets and raspberries to eat."
"Who knew you'd show up here? The boss said it's because you're a big fat sheep, probably because of that intelligence. You're the easiest to bully."
The wandering samurai were still feeling a bit aggrieved. He and his brothers had come here just to pick violets and raspberries to fill their stomachs.
However, upon seeing Su Hao and Ella on the way, he harbored malicious intentions and decided to retire from crime after this heist.
Unexpectedly, the seemingly weak maid was actually so strong, and she was also the holder of the Eye of God. If the intelligence had included this information, the boss probably wouldn't have been so reckless.
Hearing this, Su Hao finally understood why the group of wandering warriors hadn't been lying in wait nearby; they had come to gather food and happened to run into him and Ella.
"Where's that intelligence?" Ella looked at the wandering warrior and said in a very cold tone, "Hand it over now."
"I don't know." The wandering samurai looked bewildered. He looked at Ella's increasingly dangerous gaze and hurriedly said, "That intelligence is on the boss, the one whose head you chopped off at the beginning."
"The boss might have some intelligence on him. If he doesn't, I'll take you to our temporary residence to search for it."
The wandering warrior spoke very quickly, as if afraid that Ella would end his life with a single stroke.
Listening to his words, Su Hao went to the side of the wandering samurai who had been beheaded at the beginning, searched his body for a while, and successfully obtained a small bag of Mora and a rolled-up piece of paper.
Su Hao unfolded the rolled-up paper and looked at it for a while. The contents made him frown slightly, and then he quietly put it away.
"Master."
At this moment, Ella left the wandering warrior's side and came to Su Hao's side, her gaze fixed in a certain direction.
Seeing Ella like this, Su Hao knew that someone had arrived.
This is normal, though, as this is an official road, the only way to enter or leave Inazuma Castle.
Therefore, it is normal for someone to come.
Su Hao also turned his gaze over and found a girl with a red celestial dog mask on her head staring at the two of them with a very calm expression.
The one who came was none other than Kujo Sara.
She was accompanied by seven or eight soldiers from the Shogunate army.
"What happened here, Su Hao?"
Kujo Sara led the shogunate soldiers over.
She was originally planning to set off for Bayun Island to investigate the resistance, but as soon as she left Inazuma Castle and passed by here, she smelled the blood in the air.
When they came to check, they found Su Hao and Ella, as well as several ronin lying on the ground.
"As you can see, they tried to rob me, but Ella killed them." Su Hao made a helpless expression, then pointed to the wandering warrior beside him and said, "Now that you're here, he's yours to handle."
Kujo Sara nodded, glancing at the soldier beside her.
Without Kujo Sara saying anything more, two shogunate soldiers went over and arrested the wandering samurai.
The wandering warrior did not resist; in fact, he cooperated willingly, because the trauma Ella had just inflicted on him was too great.
He wished he could leave this place immediately and go to prison; he would rather stay with this maid than stay here!
Kujo Sara looked at Su Hao and asked calmly, "Are you going back?"
"Otherwise, it's getting dark now." Su Hao looked at Kujo Sara and said helplessly, "I just wanted to go home to take a shower, eat, and sleep, but I didn't expect to encounter this terrible thing."
"If it weren't for Ella, I probably would have been kidnapped by these ronin."
Upon hearing Su Hao's words, Kujo Sara's lips curled into a smile as she said, "You? Although I don't know how strong you are, you're not someone these ronin can handle."
As a friend, Kujo Sara knew very well that this seemingly harmless master and servant pair were actually quite skilled.
She was one of the few who knew the strength of the two.
Kujo Sara looked at Su Hao and Ella, and said somewhat seriously, "So, what do you think of my suggestion last time?"
Upon hearing this, Su Hao's face fell. He waved his hand and quickly refused, "No, I don't want to join the Heavenly Territory Envoy. I'm a member of the Society Envoy. Don't even think about trying to win me over, Saro."
Yes, Kujo Sara's suggestion was naturally to have Su Hao and Ella, two highly skilled fighters, join the Tenryo Magistrate, or rather, the Shogunate army.
After all, there are very few skilled or capable people in the Shogunate army now.
So much so that Kujo Sara is now eager to recruit talent, and she has invited not only Su Hao and Ella, but also Hisaki Shinobu.
Hearing this repeated answer, Kujo Sara wasn't annoyed, because she had been rejected so many times that she was used to it.
As Kujo Sara prepared to lead her soldiers away, she looked at Su Hao and said, "Recently, there have been more yakuza outside Inazuma Castle for some reason. Be careful. If you encounter any trouble, you can go to Tenryo-bugyō."
"Understood," Su Hao replied, then watched Kujo Sara and the soldiers leave.
After watching Kujo Sara leave, Su Hao and Ella safely entered Inazuma Castle and returned home.
After returning home, Ella went to light a fire and cook a meal. Before long, the delicious food was ready.
During the meal, Su Hao took out the piece of paper and looked at his maid, saying, "Ella, do you know who's on the list of names in this intelligence report?"
"I don't know." The maid, Ella, shook her head. She hadn't even seen the paper, so she naturally didn't know who was on it.
Su Hao handed the paper to Ella and continued, "It not only lists nobles who are affiliated with the Shenli family, but also some people who are affiliated with the Shenli family, although there are also people from the other two major families."
"But it's extremely rare. Basically, it's just a name left on it, with no other information whatsoever, which means..."
Ella nodded slightly, looking at Su Hao and saying, "Is this a tactic used by the Heavenly Commander and the Surveying Commander against the Society Commander?"
"Okay." Su Hao ate a few mouthfuls of rice, then put down his bowl and said calmly, "After we finish eating, let's go to Kamisato Yashiki and tell them the news."
Chapter Six: Meeting Ayaka Kamisato
Chapter Six
Late at night.
Inside the Kamisato residence, Su Hao and Ella came to visit. They had obtained information from the wandering samurai, though they weren't entirely clear on the details. They wondered if Kamisato Ayato knew anything about it.
But Su Hao felt that since he knew about it, he should come and report it.
He and Ella had received a lot of help from the Kamisato family back then, so it's normal for him to come and talk about this.
In addition, he is a nobleman who is affiliated with the Kamisato family, so it is quite reasonable for him to come to their door at night.
"Oh, what a rare guest! What brings you two here today?"
When Su Hao and Ella came to visit, they happened to run into Thomas, who was just about to leave. Thomas was the housekeeper of the Kamisato family and the local strongman of Inazuma.
Su Hao had actually only met Ayato and Ayaka Kamisato a few times.
On the contrary, Su Hao and Ella were more familiar with Thomas.
After all, he was in charge of most of the affairs of the Kamisato family, and he himself worked hard without complaint.
"If you have something to say, talk to the head of the family." Su Hao handed over the paper and got straight to the point: "Take a look at it."
Thomas was puzzled. He took the paper from Su Hao's hand and, after carefully examining it, revealed a very serious expression.
"Please wait a moment, I'll go tell Miss." Thomas also noticed that most of the people on the list were affiliated with the Kamisato family.
If everyone on this list dies, then the Kamisato family will truly just be the Kamisato family.
After that, the Kamisato family, or rather the Shaka magistrate, had to consider the opinions of the other two magistrates no matter what they wanted to do.
"Row."
Su Hao did not refuse, and they waited at the door for a moment.
A short while later, Thomas returned in a hurry. He looked at Su Hao and said, "Su Hao, Miss invites you in."
"Okay." Su Hao nodded and strode inside, followed by Ella, his maid.
After entering the Kamisato House, Su Hao and Ella arrived at the door of the reception room, led by Thomas.
Ella did not accompany Su Hao to see the eldest daughter of the Kamisato family. She stood at the door, a place that was not open to a maid like her.
Thomas did the same, gesturing for Su Hao to enter the house.
Su Hao naturally walked in without any hesitation. As soon as he entered, he saw the eldest daughter of the Kamisato family, Kamisato Ayaka, who was known as the White Heron Princess.
The other person was kneeling in the reception room, looking towards the door. Su Hao's image was reflected in his beautiful blue pupils.
Good evening, Su Hao.
