The most important thing is that he fought with the infiltrating young man for several rounds and was knocked unconscious by the other party. As the leader of Iga, he naturally couldn't tell others about this.

"By the way, didn't I let you stay where you are? Why did you come here?"

In order to avoid unnecessary embarrassment, Hattori Hirakawa felt that the topic was changed.

"I'll talk about this!"

As soon as he mentioned this, Kitano became angry again and was ready to tell the matter out, but Tsuruta, who was beside him, took action to stop him again.

"What are you always stopping me from doing?!"

Kitano was interrupted by Tsuruma repeatedly and said dissatisfied.

"This matter is not urgent. The most important thing now is whether it is time to see what happened to His Majesty the Emperor?"

"It's okay, I met several Shinto priests on the way. If they rushed over, there would be no problem."

Hattori Hirakawa was very calm and had no intention of being nervous in his words.

Not to mention that he would not have time to rush over after the explosion, just talking about the strength of His Majesty the Emperor made Hattori Hirakawa very relieved. In fact, even Heikawa himself was not sure that His Majesty the Emperor is now strong.

"But what Tsuruta said is right, let's go over and take a look."

After saying that, Hattori Hirakawa turned around and ran towards the Imperial Office.

"What's going on with the leader? I feel like he doesn't seem to worry about His Majesty's safety at all?"

Kitano scratched his head in confusion and said strangely.

"You guy only rely on brute force in everything. It's really weird to be able to understand."

Tsuruta shook his head helplessly,

"What does Tsuruta mean? If you are a man, just say it clearly. Is Han and reveal half of it playing tricks on me?"

Kitano said annoyed.

"Ketano, calm down. Can't you still see that? Our Emperor is no longer the one we were familiar with back then."

Nakamura sighed:

"There have been too many things in recent decades, and you should have seen them more or less. If it weren't for the Shintoism and the Iga clan that had already made a poisonous vow to worship the Emperor's lineage for generations, the leader would have taken us away from here long ago and found a place to live a peaceful life like those guys in Koga."

Nakamura's words made Kitano stunned on the spot. This huge amount of information made Kitano a little difficult to digest for a while. Although he was very popular, it did not mean that he was an idiot. He knew the meaning of Nakamura's words clearly.

Obviously, Tsuruda, Nakamura, and even the leader of Iga had too many complaints about His Majesty the Emperor and even had a rebellious heart, but it was precisely because of this that it made it difficult for him to accept.

As Kitano, who has been instilled with the idea of ​​"loyalty" to the Emperor since childhood, is now forced to change his values. This kind of thing is indeed not something that can be done in a short time.

"But......"

"Nothing is Kitano! You can see what His Majesty the Emperor has done in recent years. You know that the thirty-seven masters of Shintoshi Nakamoto were ambushed by the Onmyoji Association during the mission. In the end, Kwangichi Haneda and several people fought to kill the siege and reported the news back to His Majesty the Emperor. What was the exchange for?"

Nakamura, who had always been taciturn, shouted angrily at this moment and directly interrupted Kitano:

"They did not receive the praise of His Majesty, nor did they receive justice for them. What they received was a massacre of fire, a murder feast to cover up the plot of some people!"

"You... what do you mean?!"

Kitano was shocked when he heard this. He was indeed clear about his friend Kōichi Haneda, but the news he received was that Kōichi Haneda and others who escaped by chance were followed by guys from the Onmyoji Society to silence him. But what Nakamura said did not seem that simple?

"Ketano, why don't you understand yet? Do you think the guys onmyoji really dare to attack Shinto people so arrogantly because the guys behind them are those guys in the military?"

Tsuruta sighed:

"Even the military does not dare to attack Shinto people so blatantly. Shintoism represents not only the emperor, but also the belief in R countries. Besides, with the strength of the imperial palace, it is easy to protect Haneda and the others, but why was Haneda and the others still silenced, but the emperor did not say anything about this?"

"This...they......"

Kitano's old face was a little pale:

"What do you mean?!"

"Kano, stop lying on yourself. Why do we tell you this today? Don't you understand yet!"

Tsuruda grabbed Kitano's clothes and forced him to raise his head:

"What you think is right, those are facts. Even if you avoid it, it will be useless. Do you understand?"

Kitano felt an indescribable fatigue in his body. He really didn't want to accept this fact. His Majesty the Emperor, whom he respected the most, would join forces with outsiders to attack his own people.

"Reason...what is the reason?"

Kitano's head tilted to the side and asked this question weakly.

"Reason? I don't know, this is also something we have always been puzzled about. Why did His Majesty the Emperor suddenly attack Shinto people? And Haneda Kwangichi was only half a step away from being promoted to the position of priest. We have investigated this matter for decades, but still have no clue."

"It seems that our Emperor is indeed hiding a lot of things. Now it may be the time for us to solve our doubts, thanks to those friends tonight."

Huotian Road.

"Wait... friend? You said those guys were......"

Kitano raised his head suddenly and looked at Tsuruda in astonishment.

"Don't get me wrong. They were not invited by me. Tonight's events were unexpected, but I'm sure they had no malicious intentions towards us at least."

Tsuruda smiled faintly, his eyes full of remembrance, which made Kitano a little confused. When Tsuruda came to his senses, he looked at Kitano's puzzled look and patted his shoulder:

"Don't worry, you'll understand what I mean soon."

In fact, during the fight, Tsuruta felt that the opponent had no intention of killing him and the other three. It was just to delay time. If the other party was determined to kill him and the other party, the battle would probably end within ten moves.

The most important thing is that Tsuruta saw a familiar guy from one of them. He was at least 80% sure that the disguised guy was his old acquaintance!

Of course, I cannot tell Kitano all this for the time being. With his recklessness, it may cause even greater trouble.
