Chapter Thirteen Harvesting Intelligence(2/2)

"You..." Murakami's performance remained stable, "How did you know..."

"Do you still know this?" Sun Yixie didn't even have to wait for him to finish speaking, "Look at the props you are carrying, it's obvious at a glance."

This is true. After subduing Hu Wenzhi and Murakami just now, Sun and Huang took away all the weapons in Murakami's hands. If they were to disarm them anyway, Murakami's other gadgets hidden in his clothes must also be confiscated.

.

As for these props, in the eyes of Sun Yixie, the successor of "Unlimited Martial Arts", it is natural that he can guess their purpose at a glance.

"Your Excellency is indeed very knowledgeable." Hu Wenzhi saw that the situation was not good. In order to prevent Murakami from being manipulated by Sun Yixie, he quickly interrupted, "So... Could it be that you are also a member of the Yellow Clan?"

"What are you doing?" Sun Yixie heard this, turned around and said with a smile, "You were afraid that I would trick you, a ninja brother, into telling you what to say, so you interrupted our conversation and tried to trick me about my identity, right?"

Hu Wenzhi was speechless when he saw that his intentions were instantly seen through.

"Okay, Brother Hu, don't struggle anymore." Huang Donglai also joined the conversation at the right time and started to talk, "I might as well say it bluntly, we are not working for some profit or money.

Yes, from just now until now, you two have been overreacting and acting guilty, which has led to constant conflicts with us..." He paused, "But now that the matter has come to this, if you still want to escape unscathed

, then you have to give me a reason to let you leave alive."

Hu Wenzhi also understood the account Huang Donglai mentioned.

What happened tonight can only be said to be a coincidence. From the initial misunderstanding and conflict with Huang Donglai, to the two sides testing each other's identities as Central Plains people, to Sun Yixie's unintentional exposure, Keijiro's words, and Murakami's

An overreaction, so to speak... As long as there is one missing link, neither party will reach this point.

Now that Hu Wenzhi and Murakami's identities as subordinates of the Miyoshi clan have been exposed, and they also know the identity of the Shuangxie Zhongyuan people, from the perspective of Shuangxie, if they let them go, then if they go back and report this matter to their superiors

, isn’t it an extraneous problem?

It's okay if it's okay. If the Sanhao Army has some doubts about the purpose of these two Central Plains masters and launches an investigation, or if this information is passed to other daimyo, will it affect their mission in the future?

It's hard to say...

If the positions were reversed today, assuming that Hu Wenzhi came to help Emperor Dashu, and then met two Japanese warlord spies who discovered his identity as a Central Plains man, then he would not hesitate at all, and it would be safest to kill and silence them.

"How about we make a deal?" Hu Wenzhi thought for a moment and then said to Huang Donglai, "As long as you let us go today, we will neither tell nor inquire about your affairs; and what we do, you

And don’t let it reach the ears of Maori or Nizi troops, is this fair?”

"It's nothing!" Before Huang Donglai responded, Sun Yixie jumped up first, "What kind of excuse is the murder in Chuanpengzhuang? Even if you go to the Maori army to surrender now, people may not pay attention to you."

"That's right." Huang Donglai immediately added, "This condition... is not enough and inappropriate."

"How about..." Hu Wenzhi said again, "Your Excellency, you can use your Huangmen's poison technique to give us a poison that won't happen in a short period of time, as a guarantee?"

I have to say that this Hu Wenzhi is brave and resourceful. Anyway, his and Murakami's lives are in the hands of others at the moment. Compared with dying immediately tonight, the condition of "being blackmailed with the antidote" is completely acceptable.

Yes.

"Oh~ that's so troublesome." Huang Donglai said, "If you really do this, do you mean that after we finish the work, we will have to come back to help you detoxify, or find a way to deliver the antidote to you?"

"Oh? Have you already thought of that step?" Hu Wenzhi said in a slightly surprised tone, "So you are really trustworthy people... Generally speaking, under these conditions, you should worry about how to detoxify afterwards.

We are the one who was poisoned, right?"

"Ha!" At this time, Sun Yixie interrupted with a smile, "What is generally speaking? Generally speaking... if I were you, when I offered to let the other party poison me as a guarantee in exchange for temporary freedom

At that time, I had already thought about it. As soon as I escape tonight, I will immediately go to bring in reinforcements. Then I will lead people back to catch these poisoners and force them to hand over the antidote immediately."

His words once again exposed the "best strategy" Hu Wenzhi had in mind.

Hu Wenzhi also gradually discovered that the more he talked with the two young people in front of him, the more he felt frightened - the sophistication of these two guys in "judging all other people's actions with a villain's heart" made Lao Hu feel inferior to him.

"Hey, Kameda-san, how can you say that..." A few seconds later, Huang Donglai raised his eyebrows again and took over Brother Sun's words, "We are chivalrous people and we keep our words."

Hu Wenzhi was shocked by the hypocrisy of this sentence. At that time, his scalp was numb again. He trembled and tried to continue the negotiation: "Then what do you think is the 'enough' condition to let us go?

"

"Well..." Huang Donglai pretended to think for a while, and then said, "If you are willing to give us some other information, let us pick a few that sound valuable, enough to threaten your grasp.

That’s easy to say.”

"What do you want to know?" Hu Wenzhi asked again, "Also...even if I am willing to tell you, are you sure that what I am telling you is the truth?"
