In other words, if the Interior Ministry wants to launch a full-scale attack on Ashina in the future, it will inevitably have to eliminate Hirata.
Do you think the people of Ashina wouldn't know this?
But thinking about these things now is useless; the most urgent task is to rescue as many people as possible from Hirata Castle.
With that in mind, Lu Ye opened the online store.
I have 4350 points, a short blade, and 12 rounds of general-purpose ammunition left.
[Shop Opens]
Items have been refreshed.
[1. An old-fashioned MP3 player] 50 points
(Note: There are many audio files inside, please feel free to choose.)
[2. Audio Equipment] 100 points
(Note: This can amplify sounds within a half-meter radius.)
[3. Combat Measurement] 500 points
(Note: Active skill. It allows you to observe the enemy's level. The enemy's strongest attack will not exceed their level. You can adjust your strategy accordingly based on this.)
[4. Close-fitting Mail Armor x2] 1000 points
(Note: This is a tough, close-fitting armor that can defend against F-level attacks and one fatal attack from E to D-level enemies.)
Regardless of the usefulness of the first two, the latter two are very helpful in combat.
Especially 3.
Today I'm going to see who's the weakling with a combat power of 500.jpg
Just then, an idea suddenly popped into Lu Ye's mind.
Since we don't know how the enemy will attack, why not just lure them in directly?
Boss Lu simply waved his hand and emptied the store.
After purchasing all of these items, I replenished 24 bullets and had 2600 points remaining.
Lu Ye gently covered the girl with the blanket, then left the room and went to the next cubicle.
"Mr. Hanbei, are you still awake?"
"I just lay down."
Hanbei opened the closed door: "What brings you here, sir?"
"I have something I want to discuss with you," Lu Ye said. "I have information that this mansion will likely be attacked tomorrow night. If we go directly to them, they probably won't believe us."
"Then, in your opinion...?"
Hanbei didn't ask why, but simply chose to believe Lu Ye.
"I have a plan..."
……
The next morning.
Grand music filled the Hirata residence.
With an MP3 player and audio equipment, the loud volume is enough to attract everyone's attention.
"Ah, so these are the magical items you brought! They are truly amazing!" The head of the Hirata family exclaimed in admiration. "I never imagined that such small things could produce such stirring music!"
“That’s right, this is a folk song from my hometown,” said Lu Ye, who was sitting in the audience seat on the right. “It’s called ‘March of the Volunteers.’ How about that? Isn’t it very powerful?”
"Hmm! Very energetic!" This was the praise from the head of the Hirata family.
"Wow, a wolf! That's so powerful!"
The boy from yesterday was there too, with that indifferent man beside him.
Although the man was surprised by the MP3 player, he didn't show any expression on his face.
The boy's name was Kuro, the ninth son of the Hirata family, who was adopted.
The expressionless man next to him is called Wolf, and he is a ninja responsible for protecting Kuro.
Lu Ye glanced at them and activated his skill—Combat Measurement.
Then, in Lu Ye's vision, a letter slowly appeared above the wolf's head—D.
This means that the wolf's current combat rating is D, and it can only use D-level attacks at most.
This is a musical feast.
The reason for this event was that the head of the Hirata family held it to celebrate acquiring this "artifact".
That's right, Lu Ye gave away the MP3 player and audio equipment as a gift when they met.
With music as accompaniment, fine wine and delicious food are naturally indispensable.
Violet devoured fish and rice balls at her seat.
But while eating, she also noticed something unusual.
"Where's Grandpa Hanbei?" she asked, looking at Lu Ye beside her.
Lu Ye tenderly wiped the grains of rice from the girl's lips with her finger.
"The old man has some things to take care of. Is the armor ready?"
“Mmm.” Violet nodded obediently.
"There will be a battle tonight, remember to protect yourself."
“Violet will protect you too.”
Lu Ye smiled and ruffled the girl's hair.
Hirata family head Asahi raised his glass: "Thank you, sir. This is quite a generous gift!"
“It’s nothing, these kinds of things are everywhere in my hometown,” Lu Ye said. “Besides that, it has another peculiar function.”
"Oh? I'd like to hear more about it!"
"It can not only play music, but also simulate the sounds of battle on the battlefield." Lu Ye smiled slightly.
"Really? Such a strange thing?" The head of the Hirata family widened his eyes.
"Of course, I can demonstrate for you, but it will have to wait until evening."
Why?
"Because the sounds of fighting on the battlefield are so intense, we're afraid the people will be frightened," Lu Ye said.
"I see." The head of the Hirata family nodded, his thoughts completely absorbed by the MP3 player.
"I'm sure your wisdom and ability will not frighten your people."
“Naturally, I will order the people to stay at home until sunset.”
"That's good."
Lu Ye thought to herself that the first step of the plan was done.
Next, it's up to Hanbei's side.
Chapter 123 Death Warning
The banquet continued until evening, and many people were already drunk.
Lu Ye also gathered a lot of information during the drinking and conversation.
For example, the Hirata clan recently transferred its troops out on its own initiative... This further confirms the suspicion that there is a traitor within the Hirata clan.
At this moment, Jiulang approached Lu Ye.
He seemed very interested in Lu Ye and kept pestering him to tell him a lot of things.
Having no other choice, Lu Ye could only briefly tell him about things in the modern world.
"Oh, I see. The other side of the sea is truly a magical world!"
With his handsome features, Jiulang warmly took Lu Ye's arm.
"And another thing, since cars are faster than horses, airplanes should be faster than birds, right... Woohoo!"
Suddenly, Jiulang was pushed aside.
Violet pushed him away.
She grabbed Lu Ye's arm, her face pouting under her straw hat like a kitten guarding its food.
"You must not be disrespectful to the young master!" The wolf lightly pushed the blade with its thumb.
“It’s alright,” Jiulang said. “It was my fault. I’m so sorry for offending you.”
Violet's hostility towards Kuro slowly faded, but even so, she still did not let go of Lu Ye's arm.
"It's getting late, Master. You should go back and rest."
"Okay, I'll head over now. Let's talk again when we have time."
About an hour later, the banquet came to an end.
The head of the Hirata family, along with many of his retainers, got drunk and were taken back to their rooms by their subordinates.
The remaining seats after the banquet carried a sense of desolation.
Lu Ye went to the stage in the center of the venue and took the MP3.
He left the Hirata residence and came to a place not far from Hirata Castle, a good place for echoes.
After pressing the switch button and finding the desired audio, Lu Ye pressed the play button.
Gradually, the sounds of fighting arose: swords clashing, soldiers roaring...
All of this was amplified by the MP3 playback, echoing across the plains outside the city.
Soon, shouts and the sound of armor clashing rang out, growing ever closer.
