Chapter 177 Probing

"This position is not irreplaceable." Xia Shu glanced at him, and said lightly: "If you can do better, then it's okay to let it to you."

"That's not what I meant." Heijiro Hanazawa was startled when he heard the words, then shook his head and said, "But if you can't guarantee the completion, I can be with you, which is a double guarantee."

"That's a good idea, Xia Shu, what do you think?" Shirai Ryo pondered for a while, and after nodding, he still asked his teammates for their opinions.

"I have no objection." Xia Shu looked calmly, looked at Hanazawa Heijiro and said, "I just hope you can follow my footsteps."

"Then I will serve as the second guarantee. If you accidentally miss, you will have another chance." Hanazawa Heijiro knew the opponent's instant body art, so although his face curled his lips to express his dissatisfaction, his attitude was very cooperative. .

The next day, just after dawn, all the soldiers set foot on the road in two groups.

The two teams headed by Heijiro Hanazawa and Kazukaku Kurome rushed directly to the southern border of the Bird Country, choosing an appropriate place to design an ambush.

Xia Shu, Shirai Ryo, and Shan Zhongfeng acted as scouts and went straight to the capital of the Bird Country.

The ninja was driving at full speed, and it was no problem to cross a country in a day. Besides, it was a small country like the Bird Country. Even if Shirai Ryo was a bit behind, the three of them could see the capital of the Bird Country in the distance at sunset.

The birds in the forest flew in shock, and the sound of flapping wings attracted the guards of the caravan passing by on the avenue to look up. Seeing the blue bird with beautiful wings, the guards stared blankly, then turned their heads again, and there were three more people in the team. An unremarkable guard.

Illusion is just an auxiliary method for ninjas, but it is very effective on civilians. Even if they bewitch the seventeen or eighteen people in this small caravan, it didn't waste much effort.

The three guards at the end of the caravan gathered together and seemed to be chatting, but the captain of the guard didn't yell at them, as if he couldn't see them.

"After entering the city, only do this one thing, and don't cause unnecessary troubles." Looking at the gate of the city that is about to arrive, Bai Jingliang finally urged.

"Understood." Xia Shu glanced at the guards by the city gate, his lazy appearance was nothing to worry about.

Shan Zhongfeng was silent and only nodded slightly.

After successfully mixing into the city, the three quietly left the caravan.

There is no ninja power in the country of Birds, even if there is secretly, it is still a low-level stuff, so there is no need to worry too much about it.

To find out the status of the target, a wave of intelligence must be collected first. Of course, a place like a tavern must be visited first.

With the camouflage of the transformation technique, even those sitting in the tavern can't see through it, so they ordered some drinks and snacks at random, and stayed like this for a while, and they have gained a lot.

Xia Shu paid the bill and left the tavern, went into the alley and leaned against the wall to wait for a while, and the other two came out of the tavern.

"Almost figured it out, the target lives in the State Guest House." Xia Shu raised his head.

"I heard that the second son of the Kingdom of Wind's daimyo often receives invitations from nobles, so he basically goes out during the day, accompanied by two Jōnin, and the rest of the ninja are waiting at the State Guest House." Ryo Shirai continued.

"I obtained an overview of the capital from the mind of a down-and-out nobleman, and I know everything about the state guest house and the noble mansions that hold power," Shan Zhongfeng said.

"Go to the State Guest House for a while. If there is a chance, it's best to sneak in while the other party can't help it." Bai Jingliang squeezed his chin for a while, and then he saw the situation clearly.

"Just check the basic situation, don't alert the target," Xia Shu said.

The three immediately sneaked into the depths of the alley, changed their disguises, and headed towards the State Guesthouse.

In order to entertain the second son of the Kingdom of Wind thoughtfully, the State Guesthouse was completely sealed off, and it became like the residence of that noble youth.

Changge's sharp edge reflected the golden brilliance in the sun. Dozens of soldiers stood guard outside the luxurious state hotel, and the patrolling soldiers scanned the surroundings vigilantly. Obviously, no matter who approached, they would be shot with suspicious eyes.

"It's a bit troublesome." Looking away, Bai Jingliang shrank at the entrance of the alley, frowning slightly.

"With so many soldiers guarding here, there should be shifts," Xia Shu said.

"But we only have half a day." Bai Jingliang shook his head and spread his hands.

"I can control one person to enter the State Guest House..." Shan Zhongfeng proposed, but before he finished speaking, Bai Jingliang interrupted him directly.

"It's easier to be noticed that way, and once attention is drawn, the opponent will be able to detect something from the controlled person, and may even expose us." After Bai Jingliang explained, he raised his eyebrows and smiled: "However, there is something that really needs you Do it, remember that down-and-out nobleman in the tavern?"

After a long time, Koichi Tottori, a down-and-out aristocrat, cursed resentfully on the avenue with a flagon in his hand. Those words attacking the aristocrats in power shocked the pedestrians on both sides of the street, and they all avoided and hurried away, fearing that they would cause trouble.

"Hi~ That's...the State Guesthouse in front?" Koichi Tottori hiccupped with a face full of alcohol, and then anger surfaced on his face, he gritted his teeth and muttered a few words, walked straight up with a staggering step.

"This is an important place, idlers stay away!" The middle-aged man dressed as a warrior shouted seriously.

"Bastard! I am the eldest son of Tottori, a great nobleman whose great-great-great-grandfather married a princess! Who dares to stop me?!" Tottori Ko yelled loudly, and threw the jug away with his hand.

"The Tottori family?" The samurai raised his arm and knocked down the jug, frowning and thinking.

"It's the Tottori family who has been down for a long time, and now there is only one person left." The young samurai beside him whispered when he saw this.

"Are you scared when you hear my name? Humph! Then get the hell out of here!" Tottori Koichi looked like a dude, snorted coldly and was about to rush inside.

Looking at the drunken guy in front of him, the samurai had a serious face, a stern look flashed in his eyes, he raised his hand and pushed Koichi Tottori to the ground.

"You don't want to die!" Tottori Hiroshi cursed like a rage.

"There are a lot of people in this city who are going to kill me, but it's a pity that you are not included." The samurai sneered, raised his foot and kicked over. A down-and-out little nobleman who is destined to never end, as long as he doesn't get killed directly, no one will care. of.

Peng!

"Ouch!" Tottori Koichi wailed while covering his eyes, his anger was even more intense, but then he turned around and scrambled, pulling away.

The samurai looked at him with a sneer, but he didn't catch up. His duty was to protect foreign guests, and the other party was a nobleman after all. Even if he was down and out now, he couldn't kill him as he wanted.

However, just when he thought that the other party would retreat after being beaten, Tottori Koichi cursed loudly in the street. His words covered so much that the pupils of the samurai constricted. With a loud shout, he drew his sword and rushed forward.
