Chapter 819
The two happily finished their dinner and rested overnight in the room arranged by Mrs. Kutiao.

Early the next morning, the two went back after receiving the thank you gift they deserved.

The two of them didn't dare to move this thank you gift. They could only watch if they saw something delicious and fun. With good wishes for the next time they go down the mountain, they returned to Inari Mountain at noon.

Asking about the current location of the cleaning maid He Maofangsu, Tao Bao told Ji Xiang to go back to rest, and took a bag of gift money to the courtyard where He Maofangsu lived.

Her house was built under a small waterfall. Needless to say, the scenery is quite good.

The house is also much larger than that of ordinary shrine maidens, and there are still shrine maidens waiting for orders in front of the door, basically living the life of the Inari Mountain toubob.

Seeing Tao Bao approaching, the maiden at the door bent down to salute her, helped her open the door, and raised her hand to invite her in.

Obviously, He Maofangsu had already told him to do this.

Tao Bao took off his shoes and went in, saw He Maofangsu sitting in front of the French window making tea, walked up slowly, stopped in front of her, knelt down, and put the money bag on the coffee table.

"My lord, this is a gift from Jiu Tiao Mansion." Tao Bao said in a calm tone.

He Maofangsu wore a woman's slender outfit today, her hair was all loose, and her makeup was light, only her lips were painted. She looked very leisurely, and her cold aura eased a lot.

Looks like you're in a good mood?
She poured two cups of tea leisurely, pushed one cup to Tao Bao, and motioned for her to drink. Then she took the purse, looked at it, took out part of it and pushed it in front of Tao Bao, and put the rest aside casually.

"You deserve it." She said, Tao Bao actually heard a smile.

Immediately afterwards, she raised her head, looked straight at Tao Bao, and said: "Master Liotou ordered someone to send me a letter this morning, asking me to fight in front of His Majesty the Emperor in three days. I want to take you and Yui go together."

She didn't ask, but just informed Tao Bao, without giving her a chance to refuse.

Tao Bao didn't mind either. The more he walked around, the more opportunities he would have. Hiding clumsiness would also give him time.Appropriately showing some edge will be more beneficial to yourself.

The Liaotou that He Maofangsu spoke of should be He Maozhongxing who is currently serving as the Yinyang head in Yinyangliao. Since He Maofang always wanted to lead disciples, then He Maozhongxing must also lead disciples.

Abe Seimei is learning Yin-Yang Dao under his disciples, this is a good opportunity.

Tao Bao nodded without delay: "Do you need anything prepared by Baozi?"

He Maofangsu smiled lightly, and looked at her with burning eyes, "There is no need to prepare anything, it is best if you prepare yourself."

"Yes, Baozi understands my lord." Tao Bao nodded to express his understanding.

Seeing this, He Maofangsu was in a good mood, invited Tao Bao to drink tea, and told her about his opponent before letting her leave.

After returning home, Tao Bao really didn't prepare for anything. For her, whether she was prepared or not, her opponent's fate was already doomed.

That is complete failure!
Three days passed quickly, and on the day of the agreed fight, He Maofangsu changed into a formal shrine maiden costume, led Tao Bao and Yui down the mountain on foot, and then took an ox cart to Heianjing to attend the appointment.

As soon as the ox cart drove to the gate of Heianjing, a warrior came to pick it up. Kamo Yoshisu led the two witches out of the cart, and under the guard of the warriors, they walked all the way to the palace where the emperor lived.

Since ancient times, the places where emperors lived have been magnificent. The emperors here are equivalent to the emperors of the Han Dynasty. Although the place where they live is not as magnificent as the Daming Palace of the Tang Dynasty, it is much larger than the place where ordinary people live. Much more gorgeous.

He Mao Zhongxing and He Mao Fangsu did not fight once or twice, and everyone was somewhat tired.But seeing that both of them came with their disciples today, down to the civil and military officials, up to the emperor's palace queen, they all began to look forward to it.

Tao Bao followed He Maofangsu to the main hall, and saluted step by step according to He Maofangsu's movements. Fortunately, the witch's status is not low, and she doesn't need to bow down, just bend slightly.

The main hall was already full of people, the emperor and empress were seated at the top, as well as the inner prince Jingya.The inner prince in Ping'an Jingli is equivalent to the princess of the Han people, not the prince in the Han population.

The first ones standing by the emperor were Onmyoto Kamo Tadayuki, his son Kamo Baoxian, and Abe Seimei.

He Maozhong Xingben also has a young son, but for some unknown reason, he was not brought along for this fight.

After the ceremony, He Maofangsu led Tao Bao and Yui to stand opposite He Maozhongxing. The moment the cousins ​​saw each other, the sharpness in their eyes almost became substantive, and they cut each other's body with one knife at a time.

Compared with the situation between the two of them, the atmosphere between the two disciples is much more harmonious.

When Abe Seimei saw Tao Bao appearing opposite, his eyes were full of astonishment, but he knew it was not easy to show it at this time, so he didn't make a sound.

It's just that he was secretly worried in his heart, and he, who never liked to admit defeat, couldn't help but feel fear.

But soon, this fear turned into a reluctance to admit defeat.

The Emperor swept the hall, and seeing that everyone was here, he raised his hand and said to the servant next to him: "Since the two onmyojis have arrived, go and bring up the prepared things."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The servant bowed and retreated, and led the servants to bring things up after a while.

There are futons, low tables, and incense candles.Two by two is a logarithm, and three pairs are placed facing each other.

Seeing that everything was set up, the Emperor smiled and said, "Let's start, you two, everyone can't wait to see you compete."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

He Maozhong responded first, and led the two disciples to sit on the futon, and then looked at He Maofangsu with a provocative face, "Sister Fangsu can choose her own opponent."

The corners of He Maofangsu's mouth twitched slightly due to the excitement, and some of the white powder on her face accidentally fell off, but her upper body was also dressed in white, so everyone couldn't see it if they didn't pay attention.

She glared at Kamo Tadayuki, and then slightly bent towards the emperor.

"Since brother said so, sister is welcome." Kamo Fangsu smiled slightly, turned to look at Tao Bao and Yui, and said with confidence, "You two can choose your own opponents."

"Can I choose anyone?" Tao Bao asked.

He Maofangsu nodded: "Yes!"

Tao Bao nodded to express his understanding. Under the surprised eyes of everyone, he went straight to the futon opposite He Maozhongxing, knelt down, raised his hand to salute, and said with a smile: "My lord, just let your horse come here!"

Abe Seimei's face was full of astonishment, not only him, but even the emperor was surprised, and asked in disbelief:

"Miko, are you sure you have chosen the right person?"

Prince Jing Yanai also looked suspicious, and asked in surprise: "Miko, are you sure that you are not going to choose brother Baoxian or Abe Seimei?"

Tao Bao turned his head to look at them, smiled slightly, and asked back: "Can't we choose Lord He Mao? He said it himself, we can choose our opponent as we please."

Everyone in the hall was stunned, it's not like this!
