Murano Momo is a cunning doctor

Chapter 1238 Cherry Blossom Pavilion

He originally intended to leave this Gale Talisman for Du Hai's self-defense, but unexpectedly it has become his biggest trump card in this adventure.

Jiang Xiaochuan knew very well that there was no better option at the moment than to sit idly by and let Hattori Hanzo continue to lie low.

Instead of taking the initiative, we should use the power of the Yan Brigade to eliminate this major threat.

"I agree."

Jiang Xiaochuan nodded slowly, then said, "But we can't just barge in openly."

"Hattori Hanzo is cunning and suspicious. The Yan Brigade has searched for him many times but failed to find him, which means he must have planted spies in the gathering place. If I just walk in like this, I will only alert him."

Zhao Wuchen was about to offer a reminder, but upon hearing Jiang Xiaochuan's words, he nodded in deep agreement:

“What you say is absolutely right, young friend. Hattori Hanzo has always been cunning and treacherous. If he doesn’t try to hide it, he will definitely notice and might even abandon his nest and flee.”

"When we go in this time, we must not let him discover anything."

"Since the Flame Brigade has already searched this area,"

Jiang Xiaochuan looked at Chen Qishan, "In this area where Japanese people gather, which place is most likely to create chaos and attract attention?"

A master dressed in black stepped forward from behind Chen Qishan and replied in a deep voice, "It's the 'Kiku Masamune Seibou Tavern' on the street corner. It's frequented by a large number of Japanese people every day and is considered the core location of the gathering place."

"Hmph, it's obvious you didn't investigate carefully!"

The sixth brother suddenly interjected, pouting and shaking his belly, "If we're talking about the liveliest and most likely place to cause a commotion here, it has to be 'Cherry Blossom Pavilion'!"

"That place isn't just a simple tavern; it's a one-stop shop for eating, drinking, and entertainment, and it even has those... Japanese people... those brothels, it's a real mixed bag!"

"As long as we make a commotion inside, the news will spread throughout the entire settlement in an instant, and it will be difficult for the Japanese not to come out!"

Upon hearing this, everyone simultaneously cast strange glances at Lao Liu.

The sixth brother realized he had let something slip and quickly covered his mouth, looking at Tang Ran with a flustered expression.

Tang Ran's face flushed slightly, then returned to its icy expression. Her eyes were full of disdain as she looked at Lao Liu. "No way! That kind of place is too filthy, and the people there are too complicated. Once we get trapped, there's nowhere to retreat!"

"I think it's okay."

Jiang Xiaochuan suddenly spoke up, his eyes lighting up, "The more filthy and complicated a place is, the easier it is to hide and the easier it is to create chaos."

"Besides, if I went in alone, it would be too conspicuous and easy to be noticed. If I went in with someone, it would seem like I was there to have fun, which would reduce suspicion."

He changed the subject, looked at the sixth brother, and said with a half-smile:

"Besides, my fat brother knows the situation there very well. With him with me, I'm sure nothing will go wrong."

"Bullshit! You're framing Fatty!"

Old Six was so anxious he jumped up and down, waving his hands repeatedly, "How could I possibly go to a place like that? It's all hearsay from people in the underworld! Purely hearsay!"

After he finished shouting, he suddenly realized what he meant, and his small eyes widened: "Wait a minute! When did I, Fatty, agree to go with you?!"

Having spent the last few days together, Jiang Xiaochuan had already figured out the fat man's temperament.

He wasn't in a hurry. He calmly raised an eyebrow and slowly used a provocation tactic:

"I thought you were someone who dared to take responsibility, but it turns out you're just all talk."

"So all your boasting about 'traveling all over the country and seeing everything' was just empty talk?"

"That makes sense. In front of the beautiful Tang, one naturally has to maintain an image. One can't really let people see one being chased away in a pathetic state..."

"Who...who is talking big!"

Old Six, his sore spot touched, stubbornly shouted:

"Let's go! It's just a run-down restaurant run by Japanese people. What haven't I seen in my life? Do you think I'll get caught up in something so simple?"

"This will be a good opportunity for you to see the world. I, Fatty, not only know how to find your way, but I can also protect you when it matters!"

Having achieved his goal, a barely perceptible smile flashed in Jiang Xiaochuan's eyes.

He definitely needed someone familiar with the interior of the Cherry Blossom Pavilion to guide him, and Lao Liu was undoubtedly the best candidate.

Although the fat man was greedy and afraid of death, he was, after all, a tomb raider, and crawling through holes and cracks and identifying mechanisms were his old skills.

With him by my side, at least I don't have to worry about him holding me back in complicated environments.

Moreover, with this troublemaker around, creating chaos is effortless, making it easier to lure Hattori Hanzo out.

As for whether Lao Liu will be arrested?

He wasn't worried at all; this fat man was even more slippery than an eel.

Having made up his mind, Jiang Xiaochuan said no more and addressed Zhao Wuchen and the others:

"The seniors will meet us along the way as planned. Lao Liu and I will go in first to make a commotion and lure people out. I will then immediately retreat towards the highway construction site."

Zhao Wuchen nodded and instructed, "Be careful. If we sense anything is wrong, we will provide support immediately."

With Zhao Wuchen's promise, Jiang Xiaochuan felt somewhat at ease.

However, he did not go straight to the area where the Japanese people gathered, but instead went to buy a set of clothes and changed into them.

The clothes he was wearing before were tattered after the fierce fight with the slovenly Taoist priest, making them even more wretched than a beggar's attire.

If we go there looking like this, it will definitely arouse suspicion.

After changing their clothes, the two set off immediately.

This area, where Japanese people gathered, was a lawless zone in the capital. Japanese-style buildings stood side by side, and the streets were filled with the faint smell of sake and sashimi. Occasionally, one could hear the chattering of Japanese people.

Few Chinese people set foot here normally, partly because they disliked the behavior of the Japanese, and partly because they feared the power of the area.

At this moment, Jiang Xiaochuan and Lao Liu, two Chinese, barged in, immediately attracting many strange looks.

The Japanese men in the roadside tavern stopped drinking and stared at them with sinister eyes.

There were even a few sleazy Japanese men who deliberately blocked the road, uttering foul language and casting malicious glances at the two men.

"Damn, these Japanese bastards are really annoying!!"

The sixth brother muttered in a low voice.

Jiang Xiaochuan remained unmoved, his gaze calmly sweeping over the Japanese blocking his path, his steps not faltering in the slightest.

Seeing his cold expression and the faint aura of menace emanating from him, the Japanese subconsciously made way for him, not daring to actually block his path.

Before long, an extremely ostentatious building came into view.

A plaque with the inscription "Sakura-rokukan" in black ink hangs above the vermilion porch, and the eaves are adorned with replica pink weeping cherry blossoms.

Two young women stood by the door, their kimono collars open and their skirts cut short to their upper thighs, revealing large expanses of their snow-white skin.

Her face was covered with thick white powder, her lips were painted red, and the corners of her eyes were outlined with a slender and alluring look.

Upon seeing the guests, the two immediately flashed perfectly curved smiles, bowed deeply, and greeted them in saccharine, overly sweet Chinese:

Wishing you a wonderful encounter today!

However, when they straightened up, their gaze swept past Jiang Xiaochuan and landed on Lao Liu.

Two pairs of eyes that were originally formulaic and alluring suddenly burst forth with passionate brilliance.
