Main house.

Jiulang was having a great time talking with two old men with extraordinary demeanor.

He didn't expect that he would meet two serious big shots at his home.

Among them, the old man with gray hair but full cheeks was named Masayoshi Matsukata, who served as Prime Minister of the Cabinet twice and controlled the national finances for more than 20 years.

The one next to him who described being thin and having a pedantic spirit was Inoue Kin, who made indelible contributions to Japan's industrial development. He had the opportunity to succeed Hirofumi Ito as Prime Minister, but chose to give up.

It can be said that Japan is able to side by side with the great powers because these two people provide economic protection in the rear.

But in addition to being in a high position, the two old men have one thing in common-

They are all "elders" (the prototype of the five old stars in One Piece)...

The Emperor issued an edict that the elders enjoyed the "great merits of the emperor" and shouldered the responsibility of "responsible for the great power". Their status was transcendent to imperial politics. They were the emperor's advisory group that was not written on the constitution, and they were also the real rulers of this country.

It can be said that all important decisions of this country must be implemented after they make the decision.

At present, the Emperor has enthroned eight veterans (nine later), all of whom were born in the two vassal states, Changzhou and Satsuma.

So, why did these two old men standing at the peak of Japan's power appear at Hirata's mansion?

Jiulang was puzzled. The first moment he knew the names of the two, he contacted them from a distance through his brother's blood. This method was somewhat similar to the voice call from later generations.

However, Xianichiro's response was: "Don't panic, cooperate with the acting later."

"If they trap you, they will reply to them with the sources they made up before."

What he mentioned is the "fabricated origin" naturally refers to the rhetoric that Ashina used heavy fog to block the country "to avoid the chaos of the Warring States Period". When she was reborn, she realized that the world had changed drastically.

Sure enough, the two old men chatted with Jiuro for a short time and finally got into trouble.

And the answers they got were incredible, but they were quite reasonable.

At least the style and sense of the times of this house are not something that people today can imitate.

Moreover, the Nokami father and son, who were wearing a blue and white warrior suit, were sitting in the corner of the room, closing their eyes to rest, but the energy was tightly locked here, which also made the two of them have the illusion of dreaming back to the Warring States Period.

Finally, the ninjas that appeared in their mansion and brought them here were also standard for the Warring States countries in the Warring States Period.

It can be said that everything except the name Ashina has never seen in history books, it is reasonable.

Besides, there are ghosts in this world, so what's strange about having such a closed country?

The two old men looked at each other and nodded to each other in slightest detail.

The only thing I can't figure it out now is what the other party is going to do to bring them here?

What's the point of the other party letting them see the smart child in front of them?

In this way, the two old and the young at the table chatted for half an hour, and finally heard the footsteps outside.

In Kyuro's surprised gaze, a strange young man dressed in low-key and luxurious walked in without looking sideways.

The man looked handsome and looked a little undistinguished. His golden green eyes sucked and arrogant light, and his dignified gait seemed to have been rehearsed countless times.

But for some reason, Jiulang always felt that this person seemed familiar.

When the two heroes saw this scene, their eyes turned solemn. Judging from the temperament of the people, they had no doubt that this was Ashina's real manager, and all the answers would be revealed.

The "boy" following the young man did not attract their attention.

But Jiulang recognized that the simple-dressed boy was not Brother Xian Yilang, but who was the one who was, just putting his hair down and covering his eyes.

"By the way, to outsiders, Brother Xian Yilang is already 'dead'..."

Jiulang suddenly realized and figured out where the joint was.

"So he can't show up in his true form."

"In this way, this stranger should be the 'puppet' he manipulated."

Thinking of this, he immediately withdrew his gaze from observing Xianichiro, without showing any flaws.

But what he didn't expect was that when the young man he had never met met, he touched his head very familiarly, just like the owner who hadn't returned home for a long time comforting his dog.

Jiulang was stunned.

"What are you doing?"

Xianyiro's blaming voice sounded in Duoji's mind, "If it's revealed, you won't come out again."

The handsome young man who was transformed by the fallen girl frowned and instantly took his hand back, as if there was something dirty in Jiulang's hair.

"I haven't seen him for a long time!"

The fallen girl silently said in her heart, "It's not okay to touch it?"

"Don't take your own initiative anymore. You can do whatever I say."

Xian Yiro sat on the edge of the room with a humble look, no one could tell that he was the master here.

"I warn you one last time."

As he said this, Duoji naturally did not dare to make trouble anymore, so he quickly bowed to the two guests in a serious manner to show etiquette.

"I'm very sorry to invite the two of you in this way, but the situation forced me to come up with this bad plan."

In a slightly thick tone, Duoji said aloud: "I am the guardian of Lord Kyuro. Before Lord Kyuro came to adulthood, I would manage all the affairs of Ashina's big and small matters."

After saying that, she sat down majestic and waited for the response of the two.

Masayoshi Matsukata, who was born in a warrior, frowned: "I wonder why you used this method to bring me and the other two here?"

Not to mention him, even Jiulang was a little puzzled.

“In short, it’s all about ghosts.”

Fulguchi paused so that Xianichiro could observe the expressions of the two.

But the two old men just looked at each other in surprise, and then returned to peace.

"From how you look, you should have some understanding of what happened last night."

"We only knew about this kind of thing in the world early this morning."

Inoue Kin looked weak and seemed to have many fewer edges than Matsukata Masayoshi.

"I wonder what you are going to talk about has something to do with us?"

Hearing him describe the ghost as "things", Fulver was instinctively displeased, and the aura belonging to the predator rushed towards the two of them without realizing it.

They are all old politicians who have experienced the ups and downs of the times, but they are still frightened by this momentum. It is the instinctive reaction of their bodies in the face of wild beasts.

Especially the frail and sickly Inoue Xin's face suddenly turned pale in several colors.

If Xian Yiro hadn't reminded the fallen hero in time, the old man would have died of illness.

However, it was the anger of Duoji that made the two elders realize the seriousness of the matter.

"As the actual controller of this country, do you really know nothing about this extraordinary existence?"

Fulver asked coldly.

"Or, the left and right only dies every year, and it's not as good as the more people die in floods and earthquakes every year. In addition, the ghosts never attack you senior officials in the past, so you have reached a certain tacit understanding?"

"After all," Duo Ji showed a sarcastic look, "I just died insignificant people and did not affect the overall situation."

"Compared with the total population of 50 to 60 million, it's really not worth mentioning."

When the two elders heard this, they broke out in cold sweat on their foreheads.

This is a very obvious accusation, almost pointing at the nose and scolding them for taking human life.

If there was nothing happened just now, the two of them would definitely deny it harshly.

But the other party is a force that raises ninjas. Who knows if he has found out something or even has some evidence.

Coupled with the obvious anger just now, if you deny it, it will likely bring misfortune.

So the two of them fell silent in tacit understanding.

Jiuro, who had originally respected the two great figures, suddenly felt a bone-broken cold when he saw this scene. Their reaction was no different from the default. Sure enough, they knew everything from the beginning.

"Do you think you'll have nothing to do if you don't speak? It seems you don't know the seriousness of the matter yet."

The tone of the Fulguchi became gloomy, "Just last night, our heir to Ai Nai Country, Lord Ai Nai Ichiro, who is also Lord Kyuro's brother, unfortunately died in the hands of the ghost."

When the two elders heard this, they raised their heads at the same time, their eyes filled with horror.

This happened!

The power that can cultivate such powerful ninjas will lose the heirs...

This is definitely not something that can be easily settled.

"Now, all of us in Ashina Country want to find the murderer."

Fallen Ji said in a cold voice, "However, the traces of ghosts are hard to find, but it is very easy to find for the ghost killing team, who have been covering up those ghosts!"

Bang.

This is the sound of Inoue Kin accidentally knocking over the teacup.
