She didn't know why she wanted to kill Osaka Town so suddenly. And she didn't care about the reason, as long as she completed the task obediently.

So a few days ago, she used the "Sky Red Letter" to ask Osaka Town to meet him tonight, and then she successfully stabbed his head with an iron awl just now.

After successfully completing the mission and returning to the main formation, A-Qing thought she could take a break, but unexpectedly, a new mission came and she was stuffed with a wanted notice and several fireworks tubes.

The arrest warrant that was forced into her arms was the arrest warrant for the executioner Ittousai.

Search every corner of the city, find the man on the wanted poster, or the man wearing a hat and a scarf, and then set off the fireworks entrusted to you in the sky. This is the new mission A-Qing has received.

It was only then that Aqing learned that the people above were planning to launch a huge battle called "Osaka Spring Formation and Operation to Defeat Ogata" tonight, as well as "Plan A" and "Plan B" against Ogata.

She didn't even get a break and had to go on a new mission. Naturally, A-Qing was not happy about it.

But she didn't have the right to refuse the task, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet.

Qing randomly ran around Osaka City, looking for Ogata.

Unexpectedly, Ogata didn't find it, but found something else.

"Um?"

Ah Qing, who was standing on a big tree, spotted a... slightly familiar corpse on the street not far away from the corner of her left eye.

After taking a closer look, Ah Qing took a breath and realized that the corpse was actually their "Star of Iga": Naganosuke.

Ah Qing, who was secretly surprised, quickly jumped down from the tree and ran towards Naganosuke's body.

Next to Naganosuke's body, there were two musketeers standing in panic, looking at each other.

After glancing at the corpse of Naganosuke, whose eyes were pierced with a sharp weapon, the vital parts of the abdomen and throat were stabbed, and died in a terrible state, Aqing asked the two musketeers:

"what happened?"

Faced with A Qing's inquiry, the two musketeers did not respond.

The two people were silent, looking up and down at Qing, who was wearing Iga kunoichi uniform.

There was a hint of contempt in their eyes.

Such a look... as if he was looking at something very dirty and dirty.

A-Qing was actually used to their looks like this.

This is a compulsory course for ninjas...especially kunoichi. They must learn to get used to the strange looks cast by others.

At this moment, a voice that made Ah Qing subconsciously feel happy sounded from behind her:

"Huh? Ah Qing! You are actually here!"

"Jie Zheng..." A Qing looked behind her with tender eyes, towards the owner of the voice just now.

He was a handsome young man with thick eyebrows, big eyes and neatly combed hair.

This handsome young man ran quickly towards Ah Qing with a smile on his face.

Behind him were more than 40 musketeers.

"Jie Zheng." A Qing asked the young man named Jie Zheng, "Why are you here?"

Jie Zheng is one of the few good friends of A Qing.

Qing is just the most ordinary member of the Iga ninjas. She has always been able to do some dirty and tiring work.

Jiezheng, on the other hand, was young and promising, and had made great achievements under Toyotomi at a young age.

Logically speaking, people with such a huge difference in levels would probably only meet each other a few times, let alone be friends.

But the development of the world is so strange. Under various circumstances, Aqing and Jiezheng became very close friends.

"Why else? It's not because of the launch of 'Plan B'." Jiezheng said with a bitter smile, "I just completed the task of 'destroying the Dojima Rice Market', and then a new task came. It's really frustrating..."

"I am currently leading my subordinates while waiting for the 'red fireworks' marking Shura's location to appear, while trying to find Shura myself."

"As a result, I came to this place without knowing it, and then I met you by chance."

After finishing speaking, Jie Zheng looked seriously at the body of Naganosuke that he had just discovered not far away.

"Aqing, is this your Naganosuke from Iga? How did he die?"

"I don't know." Ah Qing shrugged, "I was just about to ask these two people, but they kept silent to me."

Aqing pursed her lips towards the two musketeers who were still standing beside Naganosuke.

Jiezheng immediately turned his sharp eyes towards those two people.

These two people faced A Qing and dared to do nothing to him, but when faced with Jie Zheng, who could lead a team of musketeers by himself and had the rank of commander, they did not dare to show any slights.

They hurriedly explained to Jiezheng, Aqing and the others the origins of the series of events in which "they encountered a woman suspected to be Shura's wife."

The two of them were the subordinates of Baixiang.

After they had followed Baixiang to clean up the corpses, when Baixiang led them to arrest Omachi, the two of them were very lucky to be placed on the east side of the guard house.

When A-Machi escaped from the west side of the house, the two men responsible for guarding the east side were very lucky to escape, unlike the two companions guarding the west side who were directly shot in the head by A-Machi.

After Atachi escaped from the house, Naganosuke led the two of them to chase him.

In terms of skill, how can the two of them compare to Chonosuke?

So Naganosuke said to them, "I'll take the first step, and you remember to catch up quickly." Then he rushed to the roof alone and chased Amachi, leaving the two of them running "whooshing" on the ground.

I ran and ran...and found Naganosuke's body.

When the two of them were at a loss, Ah Qing came.

After hearing what happened, Jiezheng's face darkened.

"Asura's...wife..."

Compared to Jiezheng's serious face, Ah Qing's expression was normal.

Rather, she was a little happy when she saw Naganosuke was killed.

She has always hated Naganosuke, who has a very arrogant personality.

It's just that he has better talent, and he is called "Iga Star" by people. He wants to point his nostrils at the sky from morning to night.

It would be better for such a disgusting guy to die.

After taking a few gloating glances at Naganosuke's body, Aqing began to look around Naganosuke.

Next to Naganosuke, there was a small series of bloody footprints.

This string of footprints extends toward the east street entrance. There are only about twenty footprints. Starting from about the 16th footprint, it becomes blurred because the blood stuck to the soles of the feet is almost wiped off by the ground.

Judging from the size and shape of the footprints, the owner of the footprints is a woman, probably the footprints of the woman who killed Naganosuke and was suspected of being Shura's wife.

He had been looking thoughtful since just now, and now he suddenly spoke out

"Aqing, can you go with me to chase the woman who killed Naganosuke?"

"Me?" Ah Qing, who was suddenly named, pointed at herself, "You want to find that woman, is that okay? Shouldn't our task now be to hunt down Shura?"

"Yes, it was just to hunt down Shura that I felt the need to find the woman who was suspected to be Shura's wife. If that woman is really Shura's wife, then we cannot let her go no matter what. Lord Yoshihisa must also

He will agree to let us search for that woman." Jie Zheng smiled gently at Ah Qing, "And if we want to find someone, we still have to rely on you as a ninja. I'm not good at finding people."

"...If you want my help, I don't care." Ah Qing muttered.

"Okay." Jiezheng nodded, then turned his attention to the two subordinates who were visiting their hometown:

"You two go back to this formation first and inform Lord Yoshijiu of what happened to you. By the way, I would like to tell Lord Yoshijiu: Based on the situation you are in, I judge that it is extremely necessary to find the suspected Shura wife.

In order not to miss the opportunity to fight, I led the kunoichi, Qing, to go ahead and search for traces of that woman."

After giving the order to the two people, Jiezheng turned his eyes to A-Qing.

Jiezheng, who quickly assigned the tasks, waved his hand and led the more than 40 musketeers under his command and Ah Qing, following the direction where Ah Machi's footprints disappeared.

Although Ah Qing feels that they currently have too few clues, and trying to find Ah Machi is like looking for a needle in a haystack, she is still meticulous and conscientiously acts as Jiezheng's "eyes", frequently climbing to high places to look for him.

The figure of Omachi.

Vision is probably Ah Qing's only strength besides acting and eyebrows.

She can easily see targets that others cannot see with telescopes.

The two musketeers who survived the operation to capture Amachi just now told Qing and the others about Amachi's appearance.

Wearing a red and white kimono, probably without any shoes or socks, and most likely with a lot of blood splattered on her body, the features of the big bear woman are quite obvious and are not difficult to find.

But even so, Aqing has yet to find a target with matching characteristics.

They looked eastward aimlessly.

A Qing climbed to high places again and again.

A-Qing climbed onto the roof of a private house for an unknown number of times, put her hands on her eyes and looked around when she suddenly heard a "rustling" sound coming from beside her.

When I looked closely, I saw that it was Jie Zheng who had climbed up to the roof.

"How? Have you found Shura's wife?"

"No." Ah Qing said without thinking, "I found a few women wearing red and white kimonos, but their bears were not big and there was no blood on them."
