At night, in Daming Mansion, spring cicadas were chirping noisily.
A crow took advantage of the night, passed through the layers of guards, and landed in front of the lighted window.
Inside the window, the layout of the entire room was not luxurious enough to match the level of security outside.
Some are just a low table, a Zen incense burner and some black bed curtains.
The misty cigarette passed through the most precious sterling silver crow pot on the table and drifted towards the door.
At this time, there was a "creak" and the bedroom door was pushed open. The fragile cigarette was ruthlessly scattered by the wind blown by the door.
The daimyo's wife, Hara Yoshihana, looked hurriedly, pushed the door open with her stupid son, and walked towards the bed.
Lying on the bed not far away was a sleeping old man. His breathing was shallow and rapid, and his body was swollen. At the same time, his body exuded a strong scent of soap, which even once overwhelmed the Zen incense burning in the room!
Smelling this strange soap fragrance and looking at her dying husband lying on the bed, the daimyo lady no longer looked dignified as she was in the main hall.
At this moment, her trembling hand gently touched her lover's face, which was swollen like a balloon. This small touch was like a needle popping a balloon, pricking the old man's cheek, and drops of blood seeped out from the old man's face.
A drop of red blood.
She was so shocked that she suddenly retracted her hand, tears fell down her face, and she was extremely helpless.
She leaned on her son's shoulder, crying silently and murmuring: "Who can help me! Xiao Gang, Xiao Gang, why aren't you here yet?"
At this time, the foolish Third Prince in the noble lady's arms hugged her mother hard.
Feeling her son's body temperature and beating heart, Mrs. Daimyo was shocked and woke up from her sorrow!
'For the sake of this poor child, I must cheer up! What will he do if I fall? That's right! I can't be weak! I have to find a way out for him!'
She broke away from her son's hand, straightened her appearance, and shouted toward the door: "Trust me, come in!"
Outside the door, the head guard with a scar on his face pushed open the door and immediately closed the door.
He half-knelt in front of the noble lady and asked softly: "What are your orders, madam?"
The daimyo lady's eyes were lowered, making it difficult to see her expression: "What do you think of the assassination in the main hall today?"
"His Royal Highness Seventh was saved by Lord Zhifeng. Although His Highness's left arm was injured, there was no sign of poisoning. However, the weapons used by the assassins who assassinated His Highness Three were all poisoned! Therefore, I judge that this time
The assassination was probably arranged by His Highness! And..."
Nobuzai paused for a moment, then said with a good tone: "Madam, you should be able to imagine what it means for an assassin to be among the elite warriors of the Land of Fire! Mr. Masato can no longer believe it!"
Seeing that the lady lowered her head and said nothing, the guard chief Nobuzai hesitated and stood up and said: "...Madam, I will send you and your highness away now!"
Hearing this, Mrs. Daimyo was furious: "These people have gone crazy! Poisoning, assassination, is there anything else they dare not do? Is there going to be a rebellion next!"
The captain of the guard didn't know how to answer for a moment, so he could only remain silent.
At this moment, a hand holding a kunai suddenly appeared on the neck of the third prince who was in a daze, and a figure slowly emerged from the darkness closely behind.
It was Uchiha Mitsuki who had successfully infiltrated.
Ignoring the horrified expressions of the noble lady and the guard captain, he put his index finger to his mouth and made a silent gesture!
In the whole room, a needle could be heard for an instant, and only the sound of the Daimyo's increasingly rapid breathing could still be heard faintly.
The daimyo lady covered her mouth, opened her eyes wide, and nodded, as if begging the boy not to hurt her son.
The guard captain stood up, clenched his fists with both hands, and dared not speak out in anger!
The door was opened again silently, and Hinata Haiki, Aburame Shiwei, and Kurama Masaki walked in under the moonlight, while Hatake Sakumo and Kurama Masaki stood guard outside the door.
As soon as they entered the door, the eyes of Hinata Haiki and Aburame Shiwei met in the air. The two nodded tacitly and began to arrange the spell. Soon, blue curse marks crawled all over the room like tadpoles.
The daimyo lady was at a loss and looked uneasily at what was happening in front of her.
The kind-hearted Kurama Masaki couldn't bear it and comforted him: "It's just a soundproof barrier! Don't worry!"
After glancing at the troublesome boy and warning him to shut up, Uchiha Mitsuki said to His Highness the Third Prince in a positive tone:
"Some masks can't be taken off after being worn for too long, Your Highness!"
Hearing this, the Daimyo Lady was shocked. At the same time, the eyes of the Third Highness regained clarity and changed from their previous stupid look.
The mother who had been deceived for more than ten years looked at her son and the guard chief Nobuzai in disbelief. Seeing Nobuzai's face remained as usual, she couldn't help but burst into tears: "San'er, you're not stupid, are you! It's been so hard for you to hide this from me! All these years...
…”
"Mother, I have my own difficulties!" His Highness wanted to hug his mother to comfort him, but the cold kunai was still on his neck, so he had to cast an apologetic look at his mother.
Then he asked Uchiha Mitsuki coldly: "Are you sent by His Highness to kill me? Just kill me and let my mother go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, in the surprised expression of His Highness, Uchiha Mitsuki put down the hand holding the kunai. He took out the first-generation necklace that symbolized death from his arms and said: "I was sent here by a woman who was crying ugly.
of."
Madam Daimyo's frown instantly relaxed, and she said happily: "It's Xiaozuna! Great, we are saved!"
His Highness also breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense muscles relaxed.
Uchiha Mizuki's smile suddenly turned cold at this moment: "Don't be too eager to be happy. Whether you can live or not depends on your answer to my question. Before that, Zhiwei will go and rescue the Daimyo!"
"Yes, Lord Miyue!"
Aburame Zhiwei came to the bed, ignored the frightened looks of mother and son, and shouted: "Secret technique? Send bad bugs!"
In an instant, the swarm of insects flew from the boy's sleeves into the daimyo's body.
"Is it the insect master clan of Konoha?" Mrs. Daimyo was well-informed and quickly realized something, her eyes full of excitement.
Aburame Shi nodded slightly and said nothing, concentrating on controlling the parasites and cleaning the poisonous soap bubbles from the Land of Water in the daimyo's body.
At this moment, two balls of chakra burst out from Hinata Haiki's hands and came to the guard captain Nobuya, and asked Uchiha Mitsuki: "Mizuki-sama, do you want to deal with this guard captain?"
The three princes looked anxious and said to protect each other: "He is my man, you can rest assured!"
Hinata Huimu completely ignored the Third Highness, and the chakra in his hands was gathering more and more. As soon as Uchiha Miyuki gave an order, he would pierce the body of the guard in front of him with both hands.
On the side, the guard captain Nobuya looked at the ninjas who were eyeing him. Because he was worried about the comfort of His Highness the Third Highness and the Daimyo Lady, he could only tremble in humiliation and wait for death to come.
Uchiha Mizuki said at this time: "Your name is Nobuya, right? You don't even take action to protect yourself at this time, you are a loyal person at first sight! His Highness is lucky to have a guard like you! My companion does the same thing
This is also to ensure the safety of His Highness, so please forgive me!"
After saying that, he nodded apologetically towards Nobuza.
Hinata Haimu said unconvinced: "Sir, why do you need to apologize to a guard?"
Uchiha met the moon with an expressionless face: "Don't be arrogant because of your power! There is enough resentment and darkness in this world, let's do as little as possible!"
Hearing this, Hinata Huimu was shocked.
'When did I become like this!'
Thinking of this, he was so ashamed that he bent down and bowed to the guard captain Nobuya: "I'm sorry!"
Nobuzai raised his head in astonishment, looking at the two ninjas in front of him, and a warm current flowed through his heart.
After this small episode, the atmosphere in the room relaxed again.
After a long time, under the expectant eyes of His Highness the Third Highness and the Daimyo's wife, the Daimyo finally woke up.
The old man, who had been tortured by the poison for a long time, looked weakly at his wife and children. His Highness, who had been waiting for a long time, held his parents in his arms one by one.
