Xiao Zheng saw the real strength of the old woman at a glance, it was not because of his unique vision, but an instinct that many strong people have. It was like a thief being able to find a kindred spirit in a vast sea of people, or a gay man being able to see his own kind with ease …
This kind of instinctive vision, at least in Xiao Zheng's view, is not something to be proud of. But it startled the old woman who was standing next to the tent.
She raised her eyes slightly, and a touch of surprise flashed through her originally calm and serene eyes. But only for a moment, it disappeared and returned to normal again.
Looking at the woman in the tent, she said calmly: "Mitsui Baiji tried to assassinate Itō. But she failed. "
"Oh?" Xiao Zheng frowned slightly, and immediately, he quickly captured the name of the woman in the tent to the old woman – Mitsui Baiji?
Her surname is Baidi?
Xiao Zheng suddenly raised his attention, looked at the old woman deeply, and said softly: "Are you the Baidi Clan of the Iga Clan?"
The Iga Clan has three Jonin, namely Hattori Clan, Fujiyama Clan, and Baidi Clan. And among these three Jonin, the Baidi Clan is the most powerful clan in the Iga Clan. Even the legendary Hattori Clan is difficult to compare with.
Xiao Zheng never thought that this very ordinary looking old woman in front of him was the famous top ninja of the Baidi Clan. It was amazing.
"Mr. Xiao is too serious." The old woman slowly looked up and said very slowly. "The number one ninja of the Hattori Clan has been destroyed by you. I'm just an old woman, what can I do? "
From the tone of the old woman, Xiao Zheng can hear her admiration for him. But Xiao Zheng has never been arrogant and complacent. He responded politely: "I was just lucky."
He knew who the number one ninja of the Hattori Clan was. It was the top ninja who tried to assassinate Sophia. Even he was almost deceived by her ninjutsu.
"Luck is based on strength. Without absolute strength, luck will never come. "The old woman said earnestly. After that, she explained on behalf of the woman in the tent. "Itō's strength has long since reached the ranks of peerless experts, and he is even one of the Eight Peerless Experts. At that time, I led dozens of ninjas under my sect to carry out an assassination, but they also returned empty-handed. More than half of them died. "
Xiao Zheng analyzed the information that Hundred Lands Elder revealed rationally. First of all, Itō's strength was beyond imagination. Secondly, even if they used the human wave tactic, they would not be able to successfully assassinate him. In the end, the woman in the tent wasn't waiting for him to make a move. Instead, it was because his assassination had failed and she had no choice but to place her hopes on him.
"Mr Xiao. Itō was a celebrity in Tokyo. He is also an honored guest of our imperial family. Killing him would cause a huge commotion. Please do not be careless, "the woman in the tent said slowly.
Xiao Zheng pursed his lips and nodded. "I understand."
After a pause, he looked up and said, "Then may I ask — how can you help me? Shang Yao attracted Itō's attention and distracted him. How about you? "
"I can help you deal with the aftermath," the woman in the tent said meaningfully. "Help you successfully leave Tokyo."
"My team will take care of my retreat," Xiao Zheng smiled and said with some disdain. "Do you think I'm here to die?"
The woman in the tent paused for a moment, then spoke again. "Mr Xiao. If you decide to wait for Itō to leave this villa before making a move, it is no different from seeking death. "
"What do you mean?" Xiao Zheng asked with a frown.
In fact, that was Xiao Zheng's original intention.
Making a move near the palace was too risky, and it would be difficult to deal with the aftermath. It might even attract the attention of the palace and lead to a thorough investigation. At that time, it would be even more difficult for him to leave Tokyo.
However, the woman in the tent told him bluntly that if he waited for Itō to leave before making a move, it would be no different from seeking death!
Wouldn't that disrupt all of Xiao Zheng's plans and put him in a dilemma?
The woman in the tent slowly explained, "Mr Xiao, I believe that before you went to Tokyo, you already knew about Itō's stronghold in Tokyo. Is that right? "
"Yes." Xiao Zheng did not hide it.
"In fact, there was a flaw in the information you gathered," the royal woman added. "In addition to the three strongholds, Itō has a secret base. When he leaves this place, he will immediately go to the secret base. He will not show up for a few months. "
"There is such a thing?" Xiao Zheng slightly frowned. "What secret base?"
"It was formerly a military base. Now it has been contracted by Itō. "The woman explained. "Once he enters the secret base, even if Mr Xiao has three heads and six arms, he will not be able to break through the defense and come to Itō."
Xiao Zheng paused for a while, then asked with a puzzled face, "How do you know these secrets? Why would Itō leak such important information? "
"Of course he won't tell me." The woman's tone was no longer gentle, but slightly cold. "But he will tell my mother."
Mother!?
Is this the Emperor's sister that Tina mentioned?
Could it be that the woman in the tent is the daughter of the Emperor's sister? Princess Ling La?
Xiao Zheng's spirit was lifted. He straightened his back and looked at the woman in the tent. Although he still could not see the woman in the tent, he could vaguely smell an indescribable aura.
"If that's the case, he should be an elder that you respect. Why do you want to kill him? "Other than being shocked, Xiao Zheng's heart throbbed.
According to Tina, Itō had a close relationship with his mother, and even lived in the same room. Why would she want him to kill her mother's lover?
Xiao Zheng could not understand Princess Ling La's thinking.
"Because my father is still alive!"
Suddenly, a monstrous chill surged in the tent, "Mr. Xiao, if you were me, what would you do?"
Xiao Zheng was completely stunned. He instantly understood Princess Ling La's feelings.
His father was still alive, but his mother was with an outsider. As a daughter, how could she tolerate her mother's lover?
A daughter from an ordinary family could only make a fuss, but as a royal prince, Ling Lai wanted to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots, once and for all!
Xiao Zheng pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Your Royal Highness, I sympathize with what happened to you."
"No need to sympathize." Ling Lai suddenly changed the topic and said with a smile. "As long as Mr. Xiao can kill Itō, the royal family's face can be saved. I will also help you leave Tokyo. So that you can sleep peacefully. "
Xiao Zheng pursed his lips and said, "Thank you in advance, Your Royal Highness."
"You and I are allies in this assassination. Moreover, Mr. Xiao is the key person. If we succeed, I should thank Mr. Xiao, "Ling Lai said slowly. "Moreover, I am also willing to help Mr. Xiao."
"How?" Xiao Zheng asked curiously.
In fact, although Xiao Zheng had heard of Prince Ling Lai's name, like countless Japanese people, he had only heard of his name. However, like countless Japanese citizens, they had only heard of his name and had never seen his true appearance. She was not exposed under the spotlight like the other royal princes. She was mysterious and low-key.
"I will send Mr. Xiao to Itō's villa!" Princess Ling La said word by word.
