Eighth Crown

WTF?

When did I leave a notice letter last night saying that today will pass?

"Is the news true?"

Liu Xia couldn't help but be full of question marks, and asked Fujimaru Rika and the others for proof.

"It should be true. We also saw the notice letter from Miss Qingji, and it didn't seem like it was a lie."

Fujimaru Rika told Liu Xia of her morning experience one by one.

Just like what she said, after arriving at the Tianshou Pavilion in the morning, although several warriors were slightly dissatisfied with them, for the sake of her acquaintance with Qingji, they still let them enter the Tianshou Pavilion, and then it was no accident. I met Qingji and learned about the whole process of Yagyu Tajima's attack last night.

Afterwards, Kiyohime handed over the notice sent by the assassin, and probably out of the idea of ​​wanting to get close to the person of destiny, Kiyohime threw herself directly into Fujimaru Rika's arms and asked her for help with a shy face. protect her.

"The notice seems to have been sent just this morning. It didn't say his name, but it said that he would come to assassinate Kiyohime tonight, with the signature of 'Heroic Swordsman' attached at the end." Fujimaru Rika recounted to Liu Xia.

"..."

Lucia was a little silent.

He has never sent any letters, it seems that it can only be written by someone else, and the method of sending the notice letter is too high-profile, as if he is afraid that others will not know, it is the remaining four cavalry heroes who do it. The possibility is indeed not small.

"When it comes to the heroic swordsman, we can't just sit back and ignore it, so we agreed to Kiyohime's request."

Fujimaru Rika continued to say to Liu Xia: "But we are worried that if it is really a heroic swordsman, there may not be enough manpower, so we come back and plan to bring Yinshun there. By the way, do you have any plans to help in the past? ?"

"...It's good to go there."

Liu Xia just thought for a while and decided to go to the Tianshou Pavilion with Fujimaru Rika.

Although he is no longer in a hurry to kill the heroic swordsmen, if he can know the real purpose of the main messenger behind them through the heroic swordsmen, he can force them out earlier, and the task itself and the breakthrough of the realm of kendo timing is not conflicting.

After everyone called Yinshun of Treasure Courtyard, the group went directly to the direction of Tianshou Pavilion.

…………

"It's you civilians again..."

At the gate of the Tianshou Pavilion, several people met the leader of the group of samurai who were looking for Kiyohime on the streets of Rustic City last time. When he saw Fujimaru Rika and several people coming over, his face was filled with displeasure.

"If you want me to say, the princess should not entrust the task of protecting her to those of you who are of unknown origin. We have some powerful samurai under the command of Matsudaira!"

He looked very conceited, as if he was an official warrior with a status above everyone else, and he was proud and complacent about it.

A look of helplessness appeared on Fujimaru Tachika's face.

Her character is quite generous, and she doesn't care about some emotions and words such as contempt and dissatisfaction. Besides, communicating with people in this era is just like that. Officials always have a natural sense of superiority, even if they are Modern times are no exception, not to mention the feudal ancient times, she has long been psychologically prepared.

She didn't care, and Fengmo Kotaro didn't force his way forward. Musashi and Treasurein Yinshun were characters of this era, and they were already used to this kind of thing.

"Interesting, the strongest warrior among you, didn't someone cut off his hand?"

Only Esdes looked at the so-called official samurai with a condescending look, and his eyes were full of contempt.

"What did you say!?"

As expected, the other party was stabbed in the sore foot, and he suddenly became angry and almost didn't do it directly.

Although Musashi and Esdes didn't like to see each other, they almost laughed out loud when they saw it, and it took a long time to hold back.

"Let's stop here, this kind of thing is not up to you, if you have any opinions, just tell your master, don't get in our way here."

Liu Xia glanced at him with an indifferent expression, and then he didn't care about his almost exploding appearance, and walked into the Tianshou Pavilion.

Fujimaru Rika let out a helpless sigh, neither Liu Xia nor Esdes are willing to suffer losses. Luckily, Liu Xia always looks indifferent as if she doesn't care about anything, and rarely treats others. What to comment, Esdes has a queen-like arrogance in her bones, and not everyone can find fault with her.

The samurai watched several people walk into the Tianshou Pavilion. Although he was very angry, he could only leave angrily.

He really didn't have the power to block the way of a few people. In the end, he could look down on the commoners and wandering warriors, but it was only through the power of the general manager Matsudaira, and he himself had no power at all.

After entering the Tianshou Pavilion, several people were taken to a living room by servants.

After a while, Qing Ji's figure appeared in front of several people.

"Man of Destiny!"

As soon as Kiyohime appeared, he immediately stretched out his arms and hugged Fujimaru Tachika with an excited and shy look on his face.

"Princess, please pay attention to your identity."

But before she and Fujimaru Rika hugged, there was a low shouting sound from behind her, and her footsteps that let her free herself immediately became regular again.

"Yes... I'm sorry, but Lord Ma Shou."

Then Kiyohime turned her head reluctantly, and bowed slightly to Soju Liuyu who was behind her.

Although she is a princess of a country, her status is far worse than that of Yagyu Tajima, who was favored by the shogun.

"Danma Shou!"

After Yanagyu Mongju appeared, including Liuxia, Musashi, and Fujimaru Rika, each cast their gazes towards each other.

This old man is still dressed as yesterday, wearing a gray-black samurai uniform, and his silver-gray short hair is well groomed. The only difference from yesterday is that his left arm, which is half broken, is now wrapped in white gauze. , which seems inconsistent.

It's just that although one arm is missing, the look on his face is still as calm and sharp as before, and he doesn't seem to be affected by the broken arm at all.

"Thank you for accepting the princess' willful request and coming to protect the princess."

Liu Sheng Zongju's eyes swept over several people one by one, and he did not stop his eyes when he saw Liu Xia, only to stop for a moment on Musashi again.

From Liu Xia's perspective, after seeing Musashi, Yagyu Soju saw his heart beat faster for a moment, and then returned to calm.

"I would like to thank you for your contributions on behalf of Matsudaira. I am currently leading all the warriors in the Tianshou Pavilion, so you are also sent by me to assign your positions."
