The ground of the wide courtyard is covered with a layer of fine sand,
Another layer of stones was spread on the fine sand.
Many gray-blue stones surround some mountain-shaped boulders, just like rivers and seas surrounding mountains, which is quite Zen-like.
In front of the spacious nave, light gauze flutters.
Young maids walked silently in and out of the nave. All around the nave were wearing dark black clothes with the Kimura family crest on the chest and back, and green patterned clothes with the embroidery of Nagafune Kunmori'
Nagabune clan's family crest samurai patrol.
There is a solemn atmosphere in the Kimura courtyard.
In the nave below,
But it is a scene of joy and harmony.
Ping Lingzi sat behind the desk opposite the door, wearing a white Wu suit with red maple leaves embroidered on it, with red stripes edging the collar and sleeves.
The lady from your noble family is beautiful and elegant.
She lowered her eyebrows and looked at the rare fruits and snacks on the low table in front of her.
side,
Tenzuki had a lively conversation with the current head of the Kimura family after the side plan, the current Bizen Kunshu ‘Kimura Shige’. While talking, Tenzuki kept stuffing various kinds of food into his mouth.
Kimura Shige laughed heartily beside him,
Kunshou, who had gray hair and wrinkled face, hugged two fair-skinned and beautiful young maids.
He didn't dare to make a mistake even if the lady of your family was in front of her.
He was just hugging two maids and joking with Tian Xie Gui.
He didn't dare to touch the maid in the hall like he used to do when receiving guests.
Now, the person sitting in the main seat is the noble daughter of the Ping family, and he can only sit in the accompanying seat.
The pleasant atmosphere in the hall,
Mainly from the conversation between Tenyaiki and Kimura Shige.
If Taira Reiko were to face Kimura Shige alone, I'm afraid the atmosphere in the hall would be much colder than the weather outside.
"If it weren't for the Inoue family having a ghost warrior to help them,
The Onmyoji I sent to the Inoue family has already wiped out the Inoue family!
That is a true seventh-level Onmyoji!
but,
Now that Miss Tairareiko wants to personally lead the people to annihilate this rebellion, even if the Inoue family has the support of ghost samurai, they will definitely not be able to escape this disaster! I am willing to send a hundred samurai to assist Miss Tairareiko!" Kimura Shige smiled.
.
The day before yesterday, he received the Onmyoji head sent back by the Inoue family’s messenger.
The Kimura family only controls the territory of a country.
Although the family is backed by the Ping family, there is no powerful person in charge of the family.
After finally getting the help of the seven Onmyojis who were registered in the Onmyolia, Kimura Shige originally thought that he could make great plans and annex the Inoue family, the controlling family of the neighboring country whose new head had died and the situation of the family was in danger.
But I didn’t expect,
The powerful Onmyoji was so confident that he didn't even bring any samurai with him.
Go to Inoue's house alone,
Claiming to be able to make the Inoue family surrender without a fight!
Kimura saw that the Onmyoji was so confident, so he went to Inoue's house alone and waited in the courtyard for the good news from Boqi Kingdom.
Unexpectedly, the good news did not arrive in the end.
But what awaited was the Onmyoji's head.
He was terrified by this!
The Inoue family has the ability to kill and kill a seven-year-old Onmyoji, and has surpassed the Kimura family in terms of strength. The other party also issued words to order the family to prepare for war, otherwise the consequences will be unbearable for the Kimura family!
Kimura Shige was worried and immediately sent news to his backer, the Taira family.
Although the Taira family accepted Kimura Shige's surrender,
But it has never been seen as a small country like Bizen, and it has never had the resources to tilt towards Bizen.
Bizen Province was not taken seriously, and Kimura Shige felt that even if the Taira clan received news, it would take a long time before they responded.
He was already prepared to defect to the Inoue family if the Taira family failed to come to their aid.
But I didn’t expect,
I just sent a message to the Ping family, but it only took one day.
Then the Ping family rushed to help.
Moreover, the person rushing to Kimura Shige's aid this time was a big shot from the Taira clan!
Miss Taira Reiko!
A woman whose fate matches that of the Ghost King Shuten Doji!
A lady from your noble family who was given the ability to be extremely cunning by Shuten Doji!
With such a big shot taking action, why worry about the Inoue family surviving?
It is impossible for the Taira family to stay in Boqi country for a long time.
finally,
The country of Boqi will also be brought into the hands of the Kimura family!
Effortlessly, the Kimura family controlled the land of both countries!
At the current banquet, every time Kimura Shige thought about this, he had the illusion that he was still in a sweet dream - but he heard Miss Taira Reiko's conversation with him as a shikigami, and looked at the elegant and refined person sitting in the main seat.
, the incomparably beautiful Miss Ping Lingzi realized that everything she was experiencing at this moment was reality and not an illusion!
"I wish Miss Ping Lingzi a successful start this time.
Effortlessly razing the rebellious Inoue family!"
Kimura Shige once again raised his glass to Taira Reiko, who was in charge, and downed the drink in one gulp.
Ping Lingzi raised his eyebrows slightly,
Eyes like a mirror lake looked at Kimura Shige.
Kimura Shige was agitated, and quickly retracted his slightly unrestrained palms under the table from under the maid's skirt, and straightened his sitting posture.
"I have received information that the original head of the Inoue family died not long ago, and now his daughter-in-law is in charge of the family affairs?" Taira Reiko asked Kimura Shige.
"Yes!" Kimura Shige bowed and replied, "In the Tsuchimikado family in Kyoto, a certain Onmyoji seemed to have a grudge against the original head of the Inoue family, Toshio Inoue. He came to Boqi Country.
So he first took control of Soseki Shrine,
Then he untied the "Hangui Clothes" worn by the gods in the shrine, and released powerful monsters to attack the Inoue family.
The Inoue family should have been wiped out in this incident.
But a ghost warrior appeared next to Inoue Haruko, the only heir of the Inoue family.
He took Inoue Haruko and escaped from the courtyard that was about to collapse.
Retaining the fire of the Inoue family, and then re-gathering manpower, we quickly controlled the increasingly unstable situation in Boqi!"
Bizen Country is right next to Hoki Country.
Naturally, Kimura Shige was relatively clear about all matters related to the Boqi Kingdom.
What's more, he used to have a mole in the Boqi Kingdom, the Kusama Family, so he could naturally get more information from the Boqi Kingdom.
"Ghost warrior?"
Ping Lingzi murmured to himself.
She naturally knew who the ghost warrior was who turned the tide and helped the Inoue family regain their footing.
If it weren't for the intersection between her and the ghost warrior,
Now he will not be sent by his brother to raze the Inoue family.
Originally, she had no expectations for this trip.
But now that I heard the story between the 'despicable ghost warrior' and the Inoue family's eldest daughter, I suddenly became very curious about the eldest daughter of the Inoue family, and I had a lot of expectations for this trip.
She stood up,
The katana scabbards on the waist collided with each other.
"It's getting late,
We still have important things to do, so we won’t linger here any longer." Taira Reiko said to Kimura Shige, who was hurriedly getting up from his side.
Kimura Shige bowed and replied: "Ms. Taira Reiko, won't you stay in Bizen Country for a few more days? It's a good idea to let this old man fulfill his friendship as a landlord..."
"No need."
Ping Lingzi shook his head,
At the same time, he picked up Tian Xie Gui who was busy stuffing food into his mouth.
She walked around the desk and walked towards the door.
Many captains and warriors sitting behind the desks on the left and right stood up with cheers, followed her, formed a killing queue, and followed her out of the central hall.
The warriors brought the horses,
A team of more than a hundred people filed out of the courtyard.
"Miss Tairaiko."
A man who was taller than the average Dongliu Islander brought a black horse and handed the reins to Hiringko.
Ping Lingzi took the reins of the horse and got on the horse.
The man drove the horse and walked alongside her.
"Mr. Taira Weisheng is very angry at you for failing to stop the Genji Swordsmanship Team, so you must perform well this time, Miss Taira Reiko. The destruction of the Inoue family is your chance to redeem your merits.
"There was a smile on the man's square face, and he started chatting with Ping Lingzi.
Substituting merit for crime?
Hearing this word, Ping Lingzi felt cold inside.
She turned to look at the man and said, "This is not something you need to worry about, Chang Chuan Guang.
Tsuna Watanabe's sword-carrying team clearly passed through Longfune Country.
Why didn’t the Longship Nation discover it?”
"This is indeed the case." 'Nangfune Hikaru' looked at Taira Reiko with a sincere expression, "Although I have never discovered Watanabe Tsuna's sword-carrying team, Watanabe Tsuna died in the end, and with the sword-carrying team with no
The person the superior swordsman's team headed to Kyoto met was Miss Taira Reiko.
Miss Ping Lingzi did not stop him.
In particular, Miss Taira Reiko is also the ghost warrior of the Taira family.
Therefore, in this matter, no matter what the facts are, the result can only be that Miss Taira Reiko, who let go of the knife transport team, bears the greatest responsibility."
Ping Lingzi was silent for a while.
She was never the knife-carrying team who let that man go,
But the man let her go.
But if you say such shameful words, your brother will definitely scold you for being 'shameless'.
The guilt is deeper.
Why did that man surrender to Genji?
Doesn't he know that the Tsuchimikado family is also very close to the Genji family?
The onmyoji of the Tsuchimikado family almost caused the complete destruction of the Inoue family, and the hatred between the two families has become irresolvable.
His role for Genji was just that he sent the supreme sword to Genji. When the task was completed, he and the Inoue family behind him lost their value.
Between the family that has made great contributions in the past and the family that still has great interests in itself,
It is already clear what choice Genji will make.
Ping Lingzi's thoughts drifted far away without realizing it.
She seemed to see a dark abyss rising in front of the man, but the man still didn't know it and was about to run into the abyss.
"Miss Tairaiko?"
The light of the long boat on the side called Ping Lingzi, pulling her back from her thoughts.
Her face turned colder and she spoke, as if responding to what Nagafunaguang had said before: "I will be married to Shuten Doji. Even if I am guilty now, what can my brother do to me?
Could he make me commit seppuku?
The important responsibility for the rise and fall of the Taira family rests on me, a woman.
My brothers,
You should be even more ashamed!"
Hanging on the saddle and swinging with the galloping horses, Tian Xie Gui suddenly stopped chewing food when he heard Ping Lingzi's words and looked at the noble daughter of the Ping family in surprise.
Changzhou Guang's face was filled with astonishment.
After being stunned,
His expression became a little stiffer: "I will truthfully report to Mr. Ping Weisheng what Miss Ping Lingzi said!"
"drive!"
Ping Lingzi galloped into the wilderness on horseback.
