Konoha's Peerless Peerless

Chapter 159
The night passed quickly, the sun rose from the east, and it was dawn.

Although it was already dawn, Tianji, who was immersed in the tenderness, hadn't woken up yet. He was still sleeping with Huiye, who had closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep on the first night of his wedding.

Sleeping against the wall outside the door is Kaguya's maid, Aino, who was given by the emperor to serve her before the emperor and Kaguya got married.

Last night, Tianzi and Huiye played for too long, they both started to fall asleep in the early morning, and Aino, who had been waiting outside the door all night, also fell asleep not long after, she leaned against the wall sweetly, with a smile on her mouth, she should It's a happy dream.

While she was having a sweet dream, two ministers, one tall and one short, came in outside the door. The tall one was called Jiuzhi, who was in charge of assisting Tianji in handling political affairs, while the short one was called Xiongwu, who was in charge of managing military affairs. Minister of Military and Political Affairs.

The purpose of the two of them coming here is to ask the emperor Tianji to go to court. It has been half an hour since he went to court. They and other ministers waited in the hall for a long time, but they did not wait for the emperor. So he let the other ministers who couldn't wait to retreat first, and the two of them came here together to look for the emperor.

As soon as he stepped through the door, the shorter Minister of Military and Political Affairs, Xiongwu, walked to the bottom of the wooden steps and frowned and scolded Aino who was still sleeping: "Aino! How long are you going to sleep!"

His voice was very loud and loud, so loud that it turned Aino's poor dream into a nightmare. She opened her eyes in a hurry, and after seeing the two ministers, she hurriedly stood up, straightened her clothes and walked off the tree Staircase raised his hand and hissed: "What are you doing, Master Tianzi and Master Hui Ye have just fallen asleep, you will wake them up like this."

"What! They just fell asleep, did Mr. Tianji forget that there is a court meeting today? Does he know how long we have been waiting in the court hall? Damn it, did he just fall into the land of tenderness? No way! I must not just sit and watch Master Tianji fall!" Xiongwu shouted a few words emotionally, and then stretched his neck to prepare to shout.

Just when he was about to yell, Jiuzhi raised his hand and shook his head with a smile on his face: "Forget it, Xiongwu, Mr. Tianji just got married, let's forget it this time, wait In the afternoon, we will come to see Lord Tianji again."

"But..." Xiongwu was about to say something.

Just as he was about to speak out, a samurai ran in in a panic.

Seeing this flustered and panting warrior, Xiongwu frowned and scolded: "What does the flustered look look like? How can you protect Lord Tianji like this!"

Seeing Tianji, the warrior hurriedly knelt down, bowed his head and stammered, "Return...to my lord, I have...some important report."

Hearing the samurai's stammering words, Xiongwu became furious. He glared at the samurai bitterly, and then asked, "What's the matter! Tell me quickly."

"Yes... it's my lord, it's like this, there are three onmyojis outside the palace gate, they said they want to find the emperor, so I... I..."

Xiongwu only listened to his words, and when he heard someone looking for the emperor, he frowned and said: "Let them go back first, Master Tianji is still resting..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he widened his eyes and went to the warrior and grabbed his sleeve and asked, "Don't worry, what were you talking about just now, Onmyoji? Are you sure that the ones who came to look for Lord Tianzi are those Yinyang who observe the stars division?"

"Yes, my lord, they are wearing hunting clothes and hook jade around their waists. Only onmyojis will have this kind of attire," said the samurai.

After hearing what the samurai said, Xiongwu took a few steps. Those onmyojis with mysterious powers came to see the emperor. Could it be that they found a monster in the palace? If there was a monster, who would it be?Could it be...

Suddenly, Xiongwu stared round and froze on the spot. He remembered the day when Huiye and Tianji met, they were discussing state affairs with Tianji that day, and that Huiye suddenly broke in from the outside to stop her. Before the samurai and ashigaru got close to her, they were stunned by the mysterious force. It was not only the samurai ashigaru who was stunned, but also him and Jiuji who were trying to stop Kaguya.

He has never seen such a terrifying power, and he will faint when he gets close to it. Even the onmyoji who control the spiritual energy don't have that kind of terrifying ability. Kaguya is a monster.

Thinking of this, Xiongwu suddenly affirmed what he suspected before, no wonder Master Tianji wants to marry Kaguya, it turns out that he has been fascinated by this damn monster, no!He has to rescue Lord Tianji, otherwise, the country of the motherland will lose an emperor.

Thinking of this, Xiongwu pulled up the warrior and asked, "Where are those onmyojis, take me to see them quickly."

"He...they are outside the palace, I...I..." the samurai stammered.

"Stop talking, go and bring them into the side hall."

"Yes!" The samurai replied, then turned and retreated.

Watching the samurai disappear, Xiongwu glanced at Kaguya's room worriedly and fearfully, then turned around and told Aino, who was standing by the side, "Stay here, and tell him when Tenji-sama wakes up that we are here Wait for him in the side hall."

After that, he grabbed Jiu Zhi and ran out the door.

Watching the two leave, Aino returned to the spot with her mouth curled up helplessly. She muttered for a while, then tiptoed to the window, and peeked in through the window on tiptoe.

Seeing that Tianji and Huiye were still resting, she said to herself enviously: "I really envy Master Huiye, it would be great if Lord Tianzi could accept me."

After fantasizing for a while, Aino sat down and sighed: "Oh, why would the emperor fall in love with a person like me? I'd better serve Master Huiye honestly. By the way, Master Huiye is really mysterious. Although she is very nice and kind, I always feel that she is so far away from me. Could this be the unique aura of a queen..."

When Aino was thinking wildly, Minister Yumu and Minister Jiuji had already arrived in the side hall, standing in the hall, Jiuji frowned and asked the worried Xiongwu: "What's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly become so strange?" .”

Xiongwu looked at Jiuji and asked worriedly: "Haven't you ever thought about why the Onmyoji came back to us? Do you think the purpose of their coming here is Kaguya? Could she be a monster? If she wasn't a monster , then why those onmyojis came here, then..."

"You worry too much about Xiongwu. Master Kaguya is the wife of Master Tianji, the queen of the country of the ancestors. Although she possesses a mysterious power, things like monsters should have been extinct long ago. Onmyoji should come here. It's to congratulate Lord Tianji, you think too much." Jiuzhi smiled and shook his head.

"Huh!" Xiongwu snorted with his face pulled, shook his head and said, "If you're not afraid of [-], just in case, if that Kaguya is really a monster, if she confuses Master Tianji, then our motherland will be destroyed." It's over."

As soon as the words fell, the attendants shouted outside: "Onmyoji Yueyinglan, Abe Yishan, and the witch Maitreya are here together..."

Hearing the sound, Xiongwu stopped talking, and he and Jiuzhi walked to the gate of the palace together. As soon as they left the gate of the palace, they saw Lan and his party standing on the lawn.

Seeing them in hunting clothes, the two got up and walked down.

Walking up to the elderly Abe Yishan, Xiongwu and Jiuji cupped their hands and said, "I, Xiongwu (Jiuji), send my regards to all the onmyojis."

"That's too polite." Abe Yishan said politely.

As soon as he finished speaking, Maitreya asked, "My lords, I don't know where the Son of Heaven is now."

"Ah, Mr. Tianji is still resting now. I'm really sorry. Last night, my lord had a wedding in his bridal chamber and rested very late, so I'm really sorry. We are rude. If the three masters of Onmyoji don't dislike it, please follow along first." We will rest in the side hall for a while, and Lord Tianji will wake up soon, and he will come here." Jiuzhi said apologetically, cupping his hands.

"Oh~ in this case, let's go to the side hall to rest." Lan said.

"Everyone, please." Jiuzhi and Xiongwu stretched out their hands and said in unison.

"Please." Lan and his party nodded, then got up and walked in.

After walking into the extremely simple wooden side hall, they pulled a few small stools full of period characteristics.

Lan glanced at the small stool in embarrassment, then sat down uncomfortably.

After everyone sat down, the impetuous Xiongwu couldn't help asking: "Masters of Onmyoji, I don't know why you came to our ancestral country."

"Ah, we are here to find the emperor." Abe Yishan said with narrowed eyes.

"Oh? Looking for Lord Tianji, why are you looking for him?" Xiongwu asked tentatively.

"It's not a big deal, it's just some small things." Lan said.

"Small matter?" Xiongwu frowned, turned his eyes, then looked at Lan who was talking and asked, "What is it specifically?"

"We heard that there is a sacred tree in the country of our ancestors, and the night is hundreds of feet long, so we want to see it, and we want to bless the emperor." Lan said hypocritically.

Hearing Lan's words, Xiongwu frowned. Didn't she come to catch monsters? Could it be that Kaguya is really not a monster, but people have white eyes. She must be a monster. It's just that these annoying onmyojis don't want to Speak up.

With a curse in his heart, Xiongwu said, "Is this really what you all came here for?"

Hearing this, Lan frowned, and said, "Exactly, I don't know if you have anything else to do, Mr. Xiongwu. If so, please tell me."

"Ah, I have nothing to do, I just want to ask you to check in our ancestral country to see if there are any evil spirits." Xiongwu said with a smile.

"Okay, if that's the case, then let's check it for you." Lan reluctantly responded, and then mobilized the energy of the dragon veins to transform it into spiritual energy and searched in the ancestral capital.

Looking at Lan, who was searching with fluorescence, Xiongwu felt much more at ease, and it would be better to check.

Lan searched briefly, then shook his head and said, "You don't have any monsters here, Mr. Xiongwu, you worry too much."

"Ah! No, then... that's really troublesome for you, haha, it's fine if you don't have it, it's fine if you don't have it." Xiong Wu replied awkwardly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a servant's voice sounded from outside the hall.

"The Son of Heaven is here~"
