Lou Luo said this in a joking tone while holding a knife without a blade and drawing pictures on Ru Shui's face.

He first made a horizontal cut on Ru Shui's forehead.

Immediately afterwards, another slash was made vertically, from Ru Shui's left forehead to the left corner of his mouth.

Lou Luo's incision is very shallow, and as long as it is treated well, there will be no scars.

Although the wound was very shallow, the pain could not be taken lightly.

Rusui, who really didn't know Ogata, was already using a pleading tone, repeating the words "We really don't know Ogata Ittousai" for an unknown number of times.

The constant screams of his son that reached his ears had already brought Zhizhou's psychological defense to the verge of collapse.

The next sound that Zhizhou heard made Zhizhou's psychological defense completely collapse.

He heard...the sound of clothes being torn apart.

The two legs of the daughter-in-law Asami were controlled by two people respectively. Seitaro Ito squatted in front of Asami and cut the hem of Asami's clothes with a wakizhi.

The sight in front of him, as well as the sounds that reached his ears that Zhizhou couldn't bear to hear anymore, made Zhizhou finally close his eyes in pain.

"Enough, enough!"

His lips, which had turned purple at some point, were trembling.

Lou Luo glanced at Zhi Zhou.

Then he stopped drawing on Ru Shui's face, and raised his hand to signal Ito Seitaro and others to stop.

Facing Lou Luo's order, Ito Seitaro very obediently stopped what he was doing.

"It seems that someone's memory has been successfully revived." Lou Luo said in a joking tone.

Zhizhou lowered his head, and his trembling lips made his voice tremble.

"I... admit that I know Ogata Ittousai..."

"But I really don't know where he lives!"

Zhizhou suddenly raised his head and looked directly at Lou Luo with pleading eyes.

"I promise you with my life! I really don't know where he lives!"

"I beg you, please be noble and let my family go."

After saying that, Zhizhou lowered his head again, as if he wanted to kowtow to Lou Luo.

But because his body was tied to a wooden post, he failed to hit his forehead on the ground.

Lou Luo: "..."

Lou Luo, who still held the knife upside down in his hand, remained silent.

Zhizhou, who was waiting patiently for Lou Luo to speak, felt that one second seemed as long as a year.

Lou Luo did not keep Zhi Zhou waiting for too long.

Zhizhou only waited "10 years" before he heard Lou Luo say:

"...Then do you know Ogata's whereabouts after Ittousai?"

Zhizhou: "Huh?"

"Do you know where Ogata Ittosai will go after it? Or rather - you will definitely go somewhere after Ogata Ittosai?"

Lou Luo walked slowly to Zhizhou and squatted down so that he was at eye level with Zhizhou.

"For example: Ogata Ittousai will definitely appear at what time and where."

Lou Luo suddenly came closer to him, and Zhi Zhou could clearly see - behind this "canopy hat", there were two cold eyes like poisonous snakes.

"this……"

Lou Luo's question just now made Zhizhou's eyes flicker, and hesitation emerged from his eyes again.

"By the way - don't make any nonsense."

Lou Luo added.

"If I find out later that you are just talking nonsense to deceive me...then the punishment you will receive will not only be painting on your son's face, but also using your daughter-in-law and granddaughter as your substitute.

It’s a tool for my subordinates to relax.”

These words made the hesitation on Zhizhou's face thicker, and at the same time, there was also a lot of pain.

Zhi Zhou lowered his head again and remained silent for a long time.

Zhizhou was not in a hurry and waited silently for Zhizhou's answer.

Zhizhou gritted his teeth and remained silent for an unknown long time——

——Lord Ittosai... I'm sorry... After everyone in the family is safe... I promise you! I will definitely commit seppuku!

After a few invisible tears fell in my heart, the trembling voice sounded again in the dark room.

"One, Lord Ittosai's sword was seriously damaged, so a while ago, he sent his sword to a friend of mine for repair."

"The time agreed upon by Ittousai-sama and my friend to retrieve the sword is..."

…

…

Lou Luo hummed a small tune and slowly walked out of the small room where Zhizhou and others were imprisoned.

Naozu and the others were imprisoned in a very remote abandoned hut in Osaka. This kind of place is truly a place where "no one will come to save you even if you shout at your throat."

As soon as Lou Luo stepped out of the hut, a petite figure quickly greeted Lou Luo - a woman with extremely beautiful appearance and outstanding temperament.

"Sir Lou Luo." As soon as she arrived in front of Lou Luo, the beautiful woman knelt down on one knee and said respectfully, "Issekihana has not been found yet."

"You haven't found Isshikika yet?" Lou Luo's brows were hidden under the "Tengai bamboo hat", "Hey, hey, hey, looking for people... hasn't it always been the strength of you Iga ninjas?"

"I'm extremely sorry, it's because I am incompetent." The beautiful woman lowered her head and did not make any refutation of Lou Luo's complaint just now.

What Lou Luo just said to Zhizhou and others about "using your daughter-in-law and granddaughter as tools for relaxation" was actually completely deceiving them.

Lou Luo and the others didn't catch Isshikika at all.

After learning that Isshikika had escaped along the secret passage at home, Lou Luo immediately sent a large number of Iga ninjas to pursue her.

Lou Luo originally thought that asking these elite Iga ninjas to capture a girl without even wearing shoes would be a simple matter.

But who would have expected that the Isshiki flower has not been captured even now.

"Our people have been ambushing around the prison." The beautiful woman then added, "If Isshikika is found near the Osaka Prison, we will capture her immediately."

"...Although the thing I want to ask has already been asked by her grandfather. But according to the information, the relationship between Isshikika and Ogata Ittousai is very good. The two of them were talking and laughing about the 'big test match'

"Yes." Lou Luo said seriously, "That Isshikika might have some other information related to Ogata Ittousai."

"Hurry up and get that Isshikihua back to me." Lou Luo ordered in a noncommittal voice.

"Yes!" the beautiful woman shouted "yes".

After issuing strict orders to the beautiful woman, Lou Luo waved his hand, indicating that she could leave.

After the beautiful woman left, Lou Luo turned his head and said to Ito Seitaro and others who were following him: "Haosheng, take good care of Isshiki Naoshu and others. Before confirming that Ogata Ittosai is dead, no one of them can be released."

Get out of here alone."

Seitaro Ito: "Yes."

"Also - unless they disobey the supervision, you are not allowed to do anything rude to them. It is also not allowed to touch that Isshiki's body."

Ito Seitaro's expression suddenly fell: "Can't you even...touch that Isshiki Minoru's face and hands?"

"I promised them that as long as they answer my questions honestly, I won't do anything to them. The thing I hate the most is going back on my word."

"Yes..." Ito Seitaro looked like he had lost his soul.

Lou Luo waved his hands towards them: "Okay, you go back to the house and take good care of Isshiki Naoshu and the others."

"yes……"

Seitaro Ito led the people back into the house.

He was the only one left around Lou Luo.

"...God is really helping me wait." Lou Luo raised his head, looked at the starry sky above his head, and said slowly in a voice that only he could hear clearly, "The day when Ogata Ittosai went to get the sword... and we started

The day of the Osaka Spring Formation... turned out to be the same day..."

…

…

This beautiful woman who had just reported the progress of the mission to Lou Luo was now traveling in a remote corner of Osaka.

As she walked forward slowly, she looked around with alert eyes to see if anyone was following her.

Slowly moving forward in this extremely cautious manner, she finally came to the door of an inconspicuous wooden house.

"Mother-in-law." The beautiful woman patted the door, "It's me."
