Hong Ming's shout caused a stir, and everyone in the mansion gathered towards Hong Ming.

The moment Hong Ming shouted, Zhang Xuetao quickly jumped onto the roof, muttering in a low voice: "Damn it! How could he be discovered?"

As soon as he came up, he saw the white-washed little face of Uzumaki Koro, and heard her quickly say: "What should I do? They are all gathering here!"

"What else can we do? Run! Where are there fewer people?" Zhang Xuetao dragged Uzumaki and slinked quickly in the direction pointed by Uzumaki.

But in full view of more than a hundred people, he was still discovered by the other party.

"Has anyone seen who the assassin is? Is it the White Curse Warrior?" counselor Hongming asked hurriedly.

A soldier responded hurriedly: "Lord Hong Ming, you are not a White Curse Warrior. There are two people on the other side, both wearing night clothes. They look like ninjas." Then he pointed and continued: "They are escaping in the west direction.

.”

"It's not the White Curse Warrior, it's two ninjas?" Hong Ming muttered, and then shouted to everyone: "Hurry up and chase, and also inform the capital patrol that two assassins came to my mansion to assassinate me, and asked them to search

Ichiban.”

One of Hongming's subordinates suddenly said: "Lord Hongming, could this be Meng Zong's work?"

Hong Ming pondered for a moment and said: "It's hard to say! By the way, let me publicize what happened today. I want the daimyo to know about my assassination."

"Yes." His subordinates agreed in unison, and then they all left to make preparations.

After all, Hong Ming is a counselor of a country. After learning that he is a loyal minister, if he knew that he was not the target of his mission, on the contrary, he might become a collaborator. Naturally, it would be difficult to kill his men.

However, there is a saying, 'The ants will bite the elephant to death.' Not to mention that I am not an elephant yet. Facing a large number of samurai with a genin, it is still difficult to escape unscathed.

Fortunately, the number of people who chose to break out was relatively small. After knocking down more than a dozen people in quick succession, they jumped over the courtyard wall and left without any danger.

However, these dozen people still delayed Zhang Xuetao's escape speed, and fifty or sixty people with flashlights chased after him.

If they were in other places, they would have been miles away from them, but this is the opponent's capital after all. I really don't dare to alert too many people and expose my existence. After all, I have a mission next. In the dark

Naturally, it has more advantages than being in the open.

Turn left and right, hide left and hide right, especially when the other party has many new people joining them.

Search. Zhang Xuetao and Uzumaki Xianglan spent a lot of effort to get rid of them, and the two of them were forced to deviate from the return route they planned at the beginning.

Zhang Xuetao put his head above the wall, looked at his teammates who were going to check on him in the distance, and breathed a sigh of relief. Because the other party didn't want to make the matter too big, they only searched the streets and alleys, not the homes of residents.

"This family has been awakened, let's leave quickly!" Uzumaki Koro quickly reminded.

Zhang Xuetao turned his head and looked at the sudden firelight in the house in the courtyard, and quickly jumped out of the courtyard with the swirling phosphorus.

The two were also about to return to the Zhenxing Shop, but something unexpected happened on the way back. Uzumaki Kaoru suddenly said: "She detected the existence of a ninja."

"Ninja? Could it be that Bai saw the sudden increase in patrols in the entire capital and was worried about us, so he came to help us." Zhang Xuetao said doubtfully.

After hearing this, Uzumaki Koro immediately retorted: "No, I can feel the nature of everyone's chakra. This is not Sister Bai's. This is a strange ninja."

Uzumaki's explanation let Zhang Xuetao know the truth of the matter. He said eagerly: "Quick, follow up quickly."

Uzumaki Uzumaki's perception ability was also fully activated, and he locked tightly on this strange ninja. Moreover, Uzumaki Uzumaki also knew that he had been looking for the existence of ninjas in the Kingdom of Birds for the past two days, but there were no clues. Today he happened to meet,

Naturally, the traces of this person cannot be lost.

This ninja was running in front, and he was very cautious. When faced with the inspections of the inspectors, he hid. Zhang Xuetao and his two men followed him at a distance of about three to four hundred meters.

After wandering around for a while, he finally arrived at his destination.

And Zhang Xuetao also knew who this ninja was taking orders from, and that was what counselor Hongming and his gang called supervisor Meng Zong. Meng Zong's power and responsibility were not small, and his mansion was also not small. The difference between him and counselor Hongming was

Not much.

Therefore, Uzumaki Uzumaki's perception ability is not yet able to encompass the entire mansion, but within its perception, the existence of six ninjas has been detected.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Zhang Xuetao decided to evacuate first and then make plans.

After hiding and hiding along the way, we finally returned to Zhenxing Shop.

Zhang Xuetao also told Bai Ting what he saw and heard, and the two began to discuss the matter. They both eliminated Hong Ming's suspicion, but increased the suspicion of the supervisor Meng Zong.

Three days passed in a hurry, and during these three days, Zhang Xuetao also sent whirlpools

Brother and sister Xiang Lu and Endo observed Meng Zong's mansion.

I found that there were many ninjas coming in and out of him, but they were not too strong, that is, they were around chunin. Judging by their nature, there were more than ten of them.

At noon that day, Shanhe Qiandao came to Zhenxing Store as scheduled to discuss follow-up matters with Zhang Xuetao about whether to cooperate.

After a while of pleasantries, Zhang Xuetao finally agreed to him.

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Tao, I have told Mr. Meng Zong about your situation. Mr. Meng Zong is also interested in meeting you. I wonder if you have time." Shanhe Qiandao suddenly said.

Zhang Xuetao's eyes suddenly froze when he heard his words. There were at least more than ten ninjas in Meng Zong's mansion. The person behind this incident has been roughly determined to be this Meng Zong, at least having a close relationship with him. But he didn't expect that in front of him

The person actually asked me to go there.

Zhang Xuetao asked: "I wonder what your relationship is with Meng Zong?"

"Hahaha~ My servant was promoted by Lord Meng Zong. Lord Meng Zong is a very nice person," Shanhe Qiandao explained.

"Oh, so that's it!" Zhang Xuetao said clearly.

My mission is said to be sent by the daimyo to cooperate with me in the Zhenxing Group. But he has not seen the daimyo until now.

According to the investigation, the counselor he suspected was Hongming, but he was a very loyal minister. And Meng Zong, who recommended him, had a large group of ninjas in his mansion.

It stands to reason that it cannot be a conspiracy against me, which means that Shanhe Qiandao should not know the true situation of Meng Zong, but he casually told others my information. But it also makes people feel very uncomfortable.

Zhang Xuetao thought carefully in his mind, and finally decided to meet Meng Zong. If he really put on a mask, based on what he did, it was unlikely that he would suddenly lift the mask. Otherwise, there would be no need to hide it in the first place.

stand up.

The next day, Zhang Xuetao, Bai and Uzumaki were invited into Meng Zong's mansion and saw that the things in the house were indeed not very luxurious.

The servants suddenly came up to pour a cup of tea. At this time, a fat man wearing clothes similar to those of a temple monk walked in.

"Hehehe~ You are what Qiandao calls ninjas! You are so young and accomplished!" Meng Zong said with a smile.

"Oh, don't dare! How can I be compared to Master Meng Zong? I just did some small business. I heard that something went wrong in the Bird Country. I was invited to come to help the servant Qiandao. I just hope that the future business will be better.

It’s just that I can achieve some development in the Bird Country.”

"Oh, so that's it!"
