Chapter 173

Pang Jun fled non-stop for an hour and finally left Kyoto City, but he did not find Sanada Yukigen chasing him. He was shocked. He wanted to lure away a large number of people from the Martial God Camp, but the other party was unmoved. This made it more risky for Gong Ziyun, who was cooperating with him.

　　The original plan was: Pang Jun would set fire to the Kinkakuji Temple to divert the attention of the Japanese, and steal the "Lankavatara Sutra" hidden in the Kinkakuji Temple to create chaos. Then, Gong Ziyun would disguise herself as a maid who was to be married to Yang Yue, and find an opportunity to use her charm to seduce Prince Byodoin, so that he could temporarily escape from the sight of the Japanese and cause panic. When the Japanese were searching the whole city, she would return to Prince Byodoin's mansion to pick up Yang Yue.

　　There was a big loophole here, that is, Gong Ziyun did not know Japanese, so it was difficult to find opportunities through conversations between Japanese people. Fortunately, in order to facilitate future communication, the Japanese specially found tutors to train maids who were proficient in Japanese. Gong Ziyun also mixed in, and had been learning after the wedding carriage set off from Tianjing, until now when it finally came in handy.

　　When Prince Byodoin was about to go to the toilet, Gong Ziyun, who had been waiting for a long time, finally found an opportunity to be alone with the prince. She used her charm to arouse Prince Byodoin's desire, and then, while he was on fire, she used a half-pushing and half-accepting approach to lure him to a more secluded place, and then knocked him out. When no one was paying attention, she threw him directly into the closet in the room of one of his concubines, and took advantage of the fact that it was dark under the lamp to hide Prince Byodoin in the safest place. It was just a matter of delaying time and diverting attention, and she would delay as long as possible.

　　When the Japanese sent a large number of people to search for Prince Byodoin, Gong Ziyun took advantage of the chaos to bring Yang Yue out, hid her in a secret place, and left Kyoto at dawn.

　　However, Yukio Sanada was certain that Pang Jun would take Yang Yue away no matter what, so he did not chase him, but returned to Prince Byodoin's mansion and waited for him. This made Gong Ziyun's mission much more difficult.

　　Just as Pang Jun was considering what to do next, he suddenly felt a palpitation. Having been on the brink of life and death for many years, he subconsciously rolled backwards. Just as he reached mid-air, there was a "bang" sound from underground, and a figure broke out of the ground. A ray of cold light passed by him. When he landed steadily on the ground, he could see the person clearly.

　　Although the visitor was wearing a tight-fitting outfit that wrapped her tightly with only her eyes exposed, her hot body told Pang Jun that the person in front of him was a woman. In her hand, she held a Japanese sword that was shining with a cold glow, and stared at Pang Jun vigilantly.

　　Looking at the man in front of her with a moon-white mask, the masked woman actually took off her mask and asked in stiff Central Plains dialect: "Are you Liu Jun? Liu Jun who was defeated by Lord Sanada in Xidaying?" Xidaying refers to the territory occupied by Dongying in Chaoguo. The Japanese people call it Xidaying.

　　Pang Jun looked at the female ninja in front of him. She was about twenty years old, charming and attractive, with a pair of fox eyes, slightly pink around them, a small nose, but a cold face, fierce eyes, and wearing a purple tights, which was the symbol of the Japanese ninja. He smiled and said, "You are a beautiful woman, why are you a ninja?"

　　Ninjas do not have a high status in Japan and often rely on big forces to survive. There are many ninjas in a ninja village, but there are only a handful of senior ninjas. And female senior ninjas are even rarer, one in ten thousand. However, even so, Pang Jun did not feel that he could not defeat the cold female ninja in front of him.

　　"Sanada family, Kogali, Mochizuki Chiluan, reporting in." The female jonin held a Japanese sword and spoke word by word.

　　"Interesting. Come on, I want to see how powerful the Japanese ninjas are."

　　Wangyue Qianluan snorted coldly and suddenly disappeared out of thin air. Then, before Pang Jun could figure out the situation, she suddenly appeared from behind him and slashed at Pang Jun's back with a knife.

　　"Ding!" There was a crisp sound, and Wangyue Qianluan's attack, which she thought was going to succeed, failed. Pang Jun turned around and dodged, and at the same time, he flicked his middle finger, and his finger hit the Japanese sword. A strong force came, and it almost flew out of her hand. Even if she was calm, the huge force from her hand made her a little numb, but she did not give up the attack. Instead, she twisted her jade fingers, recited a spell, and formed a seal with one hand. In an instant, multiple figures appeared, surrounding Pang Jun, and then several illusions slashed towards Pang Jun together.

　　"His stealth ability and illusion skills are good, but he is too weak in a head-on confrontation with the enemy." Pang Jun commented while looking at Wangyue Qianluan.

　　As soon as Pang Jun finished speaking, there was a flash of cold light, and Wangyue Qianluan suddenly froze in place, unable to move. The breeze on her neck and the bone-chilling cold made her lose her defense. The Japanese sword in her hand hesitated because of the frustration in momentum, and it was no longer as sharp as before.

　　"I heard that the Mochizuki clan is also a powerful family in Japanese martial arts. The Japanese sword in your hand, I read a book about weapons in the world back then, it should be the treasure of the Mochizuki clan, the famous sword Akayuki Ichimonji. Since the girl's surname is Mochizuki, you must be a direct descendant of the Mochizuki clan. Why do you belong to the Sanada family?" Pang Jun asked curiously with a flying knife on the female ninja's neck.

　　However, Wangyue Qianluan did not answer Pang Jun's question, but inserted the knife in his hand into the ground, then raised his head and chest, closed his eyes, and prepared to be killed.

　　"Pa pa", Pang Jun did not kill her, but pressed her acupoints, and then said: "I am a man who cherishes women. Killing a beauty like you would be too ruthless. However, in order to prevent you from continuing to disturb my plan, I can only trap you here first. When it is dawn, the acupoints will naturally be unblocked." After that, he turned and left.

　　"You... you wait a minute..." At this time, Mochizuki Qianluan stopped Pang Jun. She looked at Pang Jun who turned his head and stared at her, and said, "If you, if you can kill Sanada Yukigen, then, I, I will reward you."

　　She didn't say much, but it aroused Pang Jun's interest. He said, "Go on."

　　Mochizuki Chiluan paused and said, "My father's name is Mochizuki Izumo. Five years ago, he was ranked second in Jianlu's 'Thirty-Six Swords'. In order to grab the ranking, Sanada Yukigen assassinated my father and deliberately killed him after the duel. After my father's death, the Mochizuki family fell into decline. At the same time, the Sanada family made an effort to directly annex Kogali, which was headed by the Mochizuki clan. Because of my outstanding tracking ability, I also became a ninja under Sanada Yukigen and served him."

　　"How do you know that Yukgen Sanada murdered your father? And why would Yukgen Sanada let the daughter of your enemy be his close subordinate? This doesn't make sense," said Pang Jun.

　　"Because at that time, it was not only a battle for the ranking of Jianlu's 'Thirty-Six Swords', but also a battle for the new leader of the Wushen Camp. Sanada Yukigen has always been in close contact with the nobles in Kyoto. His dream is that one day, his Sanada family will be able to enter Kyoto and become a member of the nobles. The leader of the Wushen Camp is an important stepping stone. In that battle, he had already contacted many nobles in the capital, and those nobles who supported him also placed heavy bets in the casino, so they secretly sent people to poison my father's drinking water and plot against my father. I saw all this in the confession letter left by one of the nobles before he died. If you don't believe it, you can search me. I always carry that letter with me." Mochizuki Qianluan said.

　　After hearing this, Pang Jun fumbled around on Wangyue Qianluan's curvy body for a while, and sure enough, he took out a letter from her arms. The Japanese writing system is not a complete system, especially their official documents, which use Central Plains characters extensively. Although Pang Jun did not recognize all the words on the letter, he still understood the general meaning. Moreover, the paper and ink were of a certain age, which basically eliminated the possibility of temporary forgery.

　　Seeing that Pang Jun did not raise any new questions, she continued, "Sanada Yukigen is a very cautious person. Since he asked me to work beside him, he must have a way to control me. What's more, after nightfall, I am either on a mission outside or locked in the room with iron chains. Moreover, the place where he lives is heavily guarded, and it is impossible for me to return and sneak in. As I said just now, my sense of smell and stealth ability are of great help to him in gathering information and tracking down enemies. With my help, he will be quite active in front of the nobles."

　　"Then why did you choose me? And what is your reward?"

　　"Because Yukigen Sanada has good relations with many nobles in the capital, his influence in the military is also growing. In addition, he was originally the second-ranked master of Jianlu's 'Thirty-Six Swords' and the sixth-ranked master of Daying. Who else would go against him for a small ninja like me? You are different. You are from Jin. You and Yukigen Sanada are in an opposing relationship. As for the reward, I have a book on the secrets of Koga's ninjutsu, 'The Sea of ​​Ten Thousand Rivers'," then, Mochizuki Chiluan paused and said shyly, "Also, I, I am still a virgin, because, because Yukigen Sanada gave me the 'Gate God Poison', which is in my uterus. As long as you can remove this poison, you, you can enjoy my body to your heart's content."

　　Pang Jun looked at Wangyue Qianluan for a few moments, and finally said, "Okay, deal. However, I can't completely trust you. How about this, since you've been poisoned by some kind of gecko poison, it doesn't matter if you eat one of my 'Nine-Flower Dragon's Saliva Pearls', right? As long as you eat it, our deal will take effect." After saying that, he took out a porcelain bottle, poured out a pill from it, and handed it to Wangyue Qianluan's mouth.

　　Wangyue Qianluan looked at Pang Jun, then at the "Nine-Flower Ambergris Bead" in his hand, and said, "It's a deal."

　　Pang Jun didn't hesitate to pry open her mouth, stuffed the Nine Flower Ambergris Beads into her mouth, untied her acupuncture points and said, "Okay, the deal is now in effect. Now go back and find a way to lure Sanada Yukigen to a post station outside Nagahama, Lake Biwa, Omi. I'll take care of the rest."

　　"No need. I've kept a tracking mark. Once things in the capital are resolved, he will immediately bring people to find me. Then I'll find a way to make him alone. You just stay nearby and watch him. You can take action when the time is right. Is that okay?" Wangyue Qianluan said.

　　However, what Pang Jun is most worried about now is the safety of his senior sister Gong Ziyun and Yang Yue. He doesn't know whether they have evacuated safely. He doesn't want to sit back and wait. He plans to rescue Yang Yue and settle her down first, and then go back to deal with Sanada Yukioka.

　　However, at this moment, a firework appeared from the direction of Kyoto, and Mochizuki Chiluan said, "Sanada Yukigen has finished dealing with the affairs in Kyoto and is coming to see me."

　　After hearing this, Pang Jun was shocked and looked solemn.
