Taira Reiko has been practicing the "Munen Mitsuru-ryu" swordsmanship since she was a child, and her control over swords is incomparable to that of Inoue Haruko, who only recently started to refine her swordsmanship.
She held a knife in both hands and struck with one blow.
It's like a strong wind blowing against a weak willow tree!
A slash of the knife caused Inoue Haruko to stumble back.
I almost couldn’t hold the ‘Thunder Pool’ in my hand!
Ping Lingzi paused his wrist and held up a sword,
There is a gap in the blade of the high-quality killing stone sword.
She narrowed her eyes and stared at the gap in the sword, and said slowly: "Your sword skills are mediocre, and there is a huge difference between you and Inoue Canteruu.
The knife is indeed a good knife,
pity,
The sword-wielding samurai is too mediocre..."
Inoue Haruko's shoulders trembled slightly, the pretty face under the white dragon mask was already flushed, her teeth were clenched, and a ball of anger kept exploding in her chest!
She tightened her grip on the knife in her hand,
Suddenly he chuckled: "Because Mr. Abu is supporting me in front of me, this little girl is inevitably too lazy to practice, and her sword skills are not as good as yours, which makes you laugh."
Even though I am not worthy of this thunder pool,
But it was still given to me by Mr. Abu for self-defense.
No one can take it away..."
"No Road Race!"
Taira Reiko interrupted Inoue Haruko's words with a vibrating voice, and her figure turned into an afterimage. The next moment, she landed next to Inoue Haruko, raising the sword in her hand high——
‘Five thunders are coming’!
Qingzi shouted in her heart and recited a spell.
The thunder pool in her hand suddenly flashed with light, and the electric wires twisted and knotted like a dragon angrily as she charged towards the sword that was coming from Ping Lingzi!
when!
Two swords collide!
Electric fire is flying!
At this moment, Taira Reiko clearly saw that the sword in Inoue Haruko's hand turned into a thunder dragon, and a powerful breath of mental energy emanated from it - this was not real thunder and lightning, this was thunder that shocked people's hearts!
This is how she harvested the heads of many enemy warriors?!
This breath of energy—so familiar!
"Hum hum hum hum!"
The sound of the secret mantra exploded in Ping Lingzi's mind at the moment of alternating thunder and light!
When she heard this voice, she felt even more familiar!
Inoue Candlelight!
This is that man's voice!
Her mind went blank for a moment——
The slashed sword was blocked by Haruko Inoue, and Taira Reiko staggered back!
Lifting his eyes slightly, Ping Lingzi saw the eyes of the woman wearing a white dragon mask opposite, as bright as the stars in the sky.
Ping Lingzi pursed his lips and said nothing,
They all gave up wielding their swords.
So, is this what it feels like to be loved and valued by others?
Even the weakness and timidity in the character can be filled up...
"General, take this opportunity to kill her quickly!"
"We can't keep the Ping family girls!"
Behind Haruko, the urging sounds of the retainers could be heard.
But she stopped,
He looked hesitantly at Ping Lingzi, who was silent across from him.
After all, the other party has an old relationship with Mr. Abu. If he really takes this opportunity to kill her, will Mr. Abu abandon him because of this?
Moreover, since she is a noble daughter of the Ping family, she may not have hidden powerful methods.
What's more, from the bottom of her heart, Haruko never thought about taking Reiko Taira's life - she could feel that the other party also retained his strength when fighting her.
Ping Lingzi saw Qingzi's eyes,
Suddenly something came to her mind.
Then, a proud smile appeared on the cold face of the woman in black,
She turned towards her horse,
Jump gently on the horse,
Riding away!
Her proud look left a deep impression on Inoue Haruko. After being stunned for a moment, she gritted her teeth and tried to chase after her, but at this time, the other party was already far away.
…
"Miss Tairaiko.
The powerful ghost warrior gave the head of the Inoue family a half-pole sword;
Giving her the power to use at will;
And the mask of mind that is even more powerful than the Onmyoji's methods.
Even today's Inoue family is able to stand still only under the auspices of the ghost warrior, Master Zhu Zhao.
These are real, not illusory things,
It was his genuine concern for that young lady...
That young lady thought that Miss Ping Lingzi was cared for by Lord Zhuzhao just like her, but didn't the young lady know the truth better?
You just met by chance.
It was precisely because that young lady had wrong judgment that she was afraid of Miss Ping Lingzi and did not dare to kill Miss Ping Lingzi.
But this judgment is ultimately wrong.
The truth is not so.
In this case, what is Miss Taira Lingzi proud of?
You have never relied on.
Don’t indulge in illusory satisfaction..."
The black horse passed through the deep forest, and the figure of Tian Xiegui hanging on the saddle swayed violently as the horse galloped, but his voice still reached Ping Lingzi's ears steadily.
"No one is born to be an outcast..."
Ping Lingzi spoke in a low voice.
Her voice disappeared in the wind.
No matter how long Tian Xie Gui's ears are, it will be difficult to distinguish her voice from the sound of the wind: "What? What did Miss Ping Lingzi say?"
Ping Lingzi looked down at it, and this time his voice was slightly louder: "I say, no one should be born as an outcast."
"What?"
"No one!
He was born to be an outcast!
There is no such reason!"
Ping Lingzi's voice suddenly rose.
A kind smile appeared on Tian Xiegui's wrinkled face: "Miss Ping Lingzi, it's great to be able to understand this truth! So what is Miss Ping Lingzi going to do now?"
"It's just to save myself."
Ping Lingzi lowered his eyebrows and looked down on him.
The war horse disappeared into the dark forest before dawn.
…
Longship Nation.
In the Longship Courtyard.
In a small room guarded by armored warriors.
A young man with a handsome face and a slim build sat cross-legged behind the desk. In front of him, Ping Lingzi sat upright with no expression on his face.
The atmosphere in the small room was extremely depressing.
The young man stared at Ping Lingzi's beautiful face,
It feels like the person facing me is a beautiful lifeless puppet.
He frowned,
He spoke in an extremely depressing atmosphere: "There are more than 300 warriors from Nagafune Kingdom, plus more than 100 warriors from Bizen Kingdom, together with Hikaru Nagafune, who is one of the seven onmyojis, and Taira Reiko, who has the power of eccentricity——
Such a powerful force,
Unable to do anything to the fledgling Inoue family army?
Being killed by the opponent and scattered in all directions?
As the chief officer, Hikaru Nagafune died on the spot - the ghost warrior as his assistant...
Tairaiko, I heard from the samurai who escaped back that you didn't even take action once during the process? It wasn't until the situation was decided that you drove your horse to face the Inoue family master in a one-on-one fight?
Even in this fight,
You also have many opportunities to kill the opponent,
You haven't even used the cunning power you have!
Ping Lingzi, why did you do this?!"
"Li Wei's power itself has its limits. Don't you know, brother?" Ping Lingzi raised his eyes and looked at the young man with a thin and handsome face. For the first time, there was no hesitation in his eyes. He said bluntly, "Use Li Wei's power frequently.
, it took a huge toll on my body.”
"The treachery you accommodate,
Obtained from the ghost king of the family, ‘Shuten Doji’!
Ordinary ghost warriors may have their own limits when it comes to their power, but as long as the evil spirits swallow up the strange charm emanating from them, you can return to your original state!
Ping Lingzi, don't fool me with such a reason!" Ping Lingzi's third brother, Ping Wei, responded angrily.
After hearing what the third brother said, Ping Lingzi shook his head and sighed: "Brother, I can still seriously consider a reason to respond to you. You should feel lucky. Why do you want to expose it?"
"Wha, what?!"
Ping Weisheng has never seen his little sister, who has been extremely obedient since childhood, say such things to him with her current attitude!
He couldn't hide the shock on his face for a moment,
Looking at Ping Lingzi,
The language to respond has not been organized in my mind.
Ping Lingzi's cold eyes pierced through like two sharp sword lights: "Why do you want to expose this reason? Brother, this way we can't even be brothers and sisters on the surface...
I can accommodate the seriousness,
I can use it how I want to use it.
Who do I want to use it to help?
Who can help.
I am free by nature, brother.
It was because of the rules that I heard from childhood about fathers and sons, kings and ministers, and those overt and covert rules, that I was willing to be driven by the Ping family. But now I understand...these rules are not necessarily right, are they?
?Brother?
Otherwise, why can you become the guardian general of the Longship Kingdom?
The second brother, Taira no Mori, is the guardian of Ise country.
The fourth brother, Ping Chisheng, is the chief assistant of the Ministry of War in the capital.
Even the most idiotic eldest brother, Hira Umori, has become the guardian general of Mutsu Kingdom - but I still have nothing, wandering around the countries like a lonely ghost, working for you?
These rules are never fair to me, brother!"
Ping Weisheng opened his mouth.
Looking at Ping Lingzi who was becoming more and more domineering,
Finally, he sorted out some words to deal with from the chaotic thoughts in his mind: "What are you talking about? Lingzi! You were born in the Ping family, and you grew up in good clothing and good food. You have never been short of what you want.
Isn't this a huge benefit that Pingshi has brought to you?
How could you ignore this and be so ungrateful?!
Compared to your peers, you—"
"The things I enjoy,
Brother, haven't you enjoyed it?" Ping Lingzi looked at Ping Weisheng quietly, and with one sentence, Ping Weisheng was speechless.
She continued: "I have been selected as the wife of Shuten Doji, the ghost king of the family community.
I will officially marry it in a year.
If it hadn't been for the drunkard who swallowed the boy, would the Taira family be as prosperous as it is today?
This contribution I made to the Ping family,
Is it enough to offset what I gained from the Ping clan?
What do you say?
Brother?"
Ping Weisheng was speechless.
He couldn't find a reason to refute everything the other party said!
"It's useless to talk more." Taira Reiko shook her head and said: "This time I fought with the head of the Inoue family, I didn't gain anything at all - she inadvertently revealed that the man who led the Genji sword-carrying team to break through the Longfeng Kingdom army
Inoue Canzhao is under siege,
Now we are at Genji’s house in Kyoto!
He is in Genji, and the supreme sword that can cut through all the evil spirits is also in Genji!
Brother, you should think carefully about how to pass this information to Kyoto.
If time delays further,
I'm afraid that the sword will be fully mastered by Genji.
‘Shuten Doji’ will also be out of the control of the Taira family!
The only solution for now is to launch a surprise attack on Genji in Kyoto!"
Ping Lingzi's eyes wandered,
The words are righteous and awe-inspiring.
However, she was the only one who knew in her heart that the reason why she was pushing the Taira family's crusade against the Genji in Kyoto was just to arouse that person's vigilance and make him break away from the Genji earlier!
