On this afternoon, the sun shines through the gauze in front of the main hall of the central courtyard and shines into the hall.
The sky is filled with white clouds,
It's a nice and sunny weather.
Su Wu handed stacks of documents about the territory granted by the Genji and the appointment of guardian generals to Miss Haruko opposite, who was wearing plain Wu clothes with red leaves embroidered on her clothes.
He opened his mouth and said: "I have stored all the supplies in the warehouse and sent heavy troops to guard them.
This batch of supplies can recruit nearly 10,000 more warriors and support the consumption of an army of more than 10,000 people for two to three months.
But I suggest that Miss Haruko not to act too hastily.
Slowly plan it, gradually recruit elite soldiers and generals, build high walls, and accumulate grain widely.
However, now that there are documents for the guardian generals of Owari and Dewa, it would be better to annex these two countries as soon as possible and bring them into the package."
Qingzi listened to Su Wu's instructions, but she was a little absent-minded. When Su Wu spoke for a while and paused, she looked down at the pile of documents on the desk and said softly: "Last time, Abu made many instructions.
At that time, I remember it was when Abu was traveling with the Genji sword-carrying team to Heian Kyo.
Will Abu leave again this time?
Where do you leave to go?”
She raised her eyes, stars twinkling in her beautiful eyes.
Taira Reiko was not in the hall at the moment, and Haruko did not deliberately do anything small. She was lively and strong in nature, and she had determined to become a well-known 'gentleman'.
After experiencing changes, she began to be good at using her soft appearance as a woman to deal with slander from the outside world.
Bear it and digest it at the same time.
My heart is like gravel in a clam shell, which gradually turns into a clear pearl amidst the pain.
Yes,
Haruko realized at that moment that Abu would start his journey again.
"I ordered the nine ghost warriors to go to the Nine Kingdoms to collect statues.
It's for a big thing.
They, as well as the two great craftsmen An Gang and Hu Tetsu, will be waiting for me at Black Sky Plains.
Now is the time for me to set off for Heitianyuan and join them." Facing Haruko's gaze, Su Wu said calmly, "The 'cursed killing trick' and the white dragon mask will be given to Miss Haruko for future self-defense.
used.
Next,
Miss Haruko can advance Owari and Dewa to conquer the two countries.
After I resolve the major issues in Black Sky Plains,
He will return to Boqi Kingdom."
Inoue Haruko said softly, and asked abruptly: "Where is the young lady from the Taira family? Will she also go to Kurotian Plains with Abu?"
Su Wu was stunned, but he didn't expect how to arrange 'Ping Lingzi'.
He thought about it again, shook his head and said: "She should stay here to rest.
I hope Miss Haruko can treat her well and not argue with her often.
Miss Haruko has already engraved the ink pattern. She is capable of treachery. You can learn from each other, but don't let the momentary victory or defeat ruin your harmony."
"As long as she doesn't follow Abu to Heitianyuan,
How could I get angry with a poor homeless person like her?" Haruko raised the corners of her lips and shook her head slightly.
Around the Tianguan acupoint on the right side of her neck, there was no trace of the ink painting at all.
But the ink painting of 'Dragon of Hundred Thoughts' has indeed been engraved on her body.
The ‘ghost stitch’ just hides those ugly tattoos.
Only when she invokes the power of the ink map,
The ink drawing will gradually appear.
Su Wu shook his head, and did not continue talking to Qingzi about this topic, but instead said: "Miss Qingzi, after I leave, our family still needs a 'family elder' to take charge of the overall situation and be able to assist you.
Among Yayoi, Nobuo Takeda, Tora Maeda and others,
In fact, I like Yayoi girls the most.
I wonder if Ms. Haruko has a favorite candidate?"
"Abu and I have the same idea.
Yayoi girls can be patient, know how to advance and retreat, and have a steady style.
She can indeed take charge of the family situation on behalf of Abu." Qingzi looked at Abu with her chin up, and said slowly, "It's just that she is a woman after all, and her own strength is not high. If she is promoted to the position of 'family elder' second only to the Yu family elder,
I'm afraid she won't be able to convince other retainers."
"I also prepared a serious trick.
You can turn Yayoi girls into ghost warriors.
This treacherous trick is quite dangerous and will definitely increase the Yayoi girl's fighting power.
If Miss Haruko is interested in a Yayoi girl,
If she also intends to become a ghost warrior, as long as she swears allegiance to the Inoue family, I can help her accommodate this fierce ghost." Su Wu said.
Haruko looked at Abu's face, but what she thought of was the handsome face that flashed through her heart every time she used the power of the 'White Dragon Mask'.
Is that the real face of Abu Jun?
It is the true face that only you can see.
Her eyes flashed and her voice became gentler: "Abu has helped me a lot. In fact, Abu is supporting the Inoue family. Now, I don't know how to repay Abu.
Abu,
How do you think I should repay you?"
Su Wu shook his head and said nothing.
Li Gui, whom he sealed with the soul-collecting rice, could not be brought out of the simulated world.
Since it cannot be taken out,
It's better to use them on the Inoue samurai,
After finishing the simulation,
Make it fixed and become real history.
"Miss Haruko, please invite the Yayoi girls here.
Having decided this matter now, I will set off for Heitianyuan."
"good."
…
Haruko stared at the tall figure, driving the strong horse, leading a group of warriors and disappearing at the end of the long street.
The face under the Bailong mask was already full of tears.
She sighed deeply in her heart.
I closed my eyes to suppress the tears, and when I opened them again, my eyes were calm again.
'General Kiyoshi Inoue', who was dressed in a large red armor, turned around, glanced at the forest of warriors, and suddenly spoke, letting out a hoarse and deep male voice - this was an Onmyoji method that could turn Haruko's female voice into a male voice.
"Where is that distinguished guest from the Taira family?
Didn't she come over to say goodbye to Mr. Yu?" Qingzi asked.
Da Mu in the corner raised his hand and said: "General! Miss Ping Lingzi had a chat with the Yu family before, and she rested in the room and never came out again.
Maybe it’s because I don’t want to see this scene of separation…”
"Have you been resting in the room?" Qingzi frowned and suddenly said, "Damu, go to her room and have a look. Is she still in the room?"
The soldiers immediately counted the number of horses in the stables.
See if there is any less!”
Although Omu didn't know why Haruko made such a request, he still agreed and hurried away.
And at this time,
Taira Reiko, a daughter of the Taira family dressed in black, led a big black horse, showed her token to the samurai guarding the backyard, led the horse away from the gate of the backyard, then rode out of the city, chasing Su Wu who had left not long ago.
One line.
…
Heitianyuan is a vast and vast plain.
There are few people here.
After the "sacrificial gods" of many shrines on Dongliu Island get out of control, they will all be exiled to this great plain.
The emperor's "corpse person" makes peace with the woman, and the children born will also be abandoned in the Black Sky Plains.
This is also the place where the legendary ‘Suzhan Mingzun’ sleeps.
According to legend, ‘Amaterasu’ rose from here, bringing catastrophe to the entire Dongliu Island.
‘Tsukuyomi’ fell from here in the legend, awakening hundreds of sleeping ghosts here.
Ominousness and terror intertwined in the black sky,
As a result, this great plain has rarely been inhabited since ancient times. Even though there are hundreds of miles of fertile fields and large areas of fertile land, no Dongliu Islander has dared to occupy the land here and cultivate it.
However, from time to time, people will accidentally enter the Black Sky Plains.
or disappear in it,
Or they may return to human towns in some strange way, bringing horrific disasters to the towns and leaving strange legends in the world.
The sky in Kurotenhara is covered with dark clouds most of the day.
The remaining time was even darker and darkness enveloped the earth.
Under the dark sky,
The strong wind was raging, causing the tall trees on the ground to tremble and shaking off countless broad leaves.
A group of people wore heavy leather armor, held torches, and rode through the tall woods against the wind.
On the side of the deep forest, a long, dark river was filled with surging water, lapping at both banks.
There seemed to be some white shadows in the water, flowing straight down the river as the water surged.
Su Wu retracted his gaze from the pale white faces in the river and rode ahead.
His outer wheels were turning slowly,
He discarded all the subtle charms entangled in the strong wind, and did not let the charms conveyed in the wind have the slightest impact on himself and his men.
Those rhymes that come with the wind,
It is not just one sly rhyme, but a entanglement of several different sly rhymes - it is rumored that Black Sky was originally a place of exile where out-of-control gods were worshiped. From these entangled rhymes, it can be seen that the rumors are true.
"The few thatched cottages by the river in front will be our destination."
Walking out of the woods, Su Wu stretched out his hand and pointed forward.
Although the sky is now covered with dark clouds and strong winds are blowing across the earth, it is not completely dark, and the outlines of various things are still vaguely visible.
Ping Lingzi pointed along Su Wu's finger,
I saw a few thatched houses on the black plain.
She nodded slightly and drove her horse to follow Su Wu.
"You'll be fine just staying in the Inoue courtyard.
Why are you chasing me here?
The Heitian Plain is not peaceful, and there are many terrifying existences lurking in the darkness. Once you encounter real danger, you can only escape according to your own abilities." Su Wu frowned and spoke.
Hearing the words, Tairaiko behind him said: "It feels uncomfortable to live under someone else's roof. Even if I am in the dangerous Takamagahara, I don't want to go back to the Inoue courtyard."
"..."
Su Wu sighed and said, "In fact, there is not much conflict between you and Qingzi..."
"How can you understand?" Ping Lingzi looked at Su Wu's back with eyes like a mirror lake, and there seemed to be no emotion in his eyes.
The man in front clamped his horse's belly tightly and let the horse gallop across the plain.
The strong wind tugged at his clothes.
Ping Lingzi pursed her lips and followed without saying a word.
He led a group of samurai to approach the temporarily built thatched wooden houses, and they were greeted by Ansuna and Kotetsu, who were lingering here, as well as the two Inoue family ghost samurai who were responsible for guarding them.
