High Priest in Japan

Wait for another two days. If there is no movement from Yue'er after two days, we will go find her. Qin Heqing felt the contract between himself and Yue'er carefully, and after confirming that there was no problem, he shook his head and said decisively.

...

I heard someone say, do you want rice? The next day, at 1:30 in the afternoon, Hojo Shiyasu, who only met once or twice in the Yizheng Hall that day, appeared In front of Qin Heqing, looking at what Qin Heqing was studying, asked.

Yes, is there a problem? Qin Heqing put down his book, looked at Hojo Shiyasu who was standing in front of the door, blocking the sunlight and asked back.

It's just a few catties of rice grains and some vegetables that can be stored. What kind of problem is this for the Hojo family? I'm just curious, why do you want these if you don't leave the door? Hojo Shikang sneered, looking up and down Qin Heqing and the others. Ayukawa and Yu Nu, who was very strange to her, asked.

There is nothing to hide about this matter. Even if you don't come to ask me, I will take the initiative to clarify with Hojo after tomorrow. Qin He said calmly, I am going to leave for a while.

Leave? Where are you going? Hojo Shiyasu asked.

North, the exact location is uncertain.

Why do you suddenly want to leave? Don't you need the news about the cherry blossom tree? Hojo Shiyasu frowned.

To deal with some private matters. Of course we need news about the cherry blossom tree. I will leave a contact tool at that time to facilitate the exchange of news between me and the public. In short, I will definitely not miss the appointment. Qin He said calmly.

Aren't you going to introduce me? Hojo Shiyasu looked at him for a while, then turned his eyes and fell on Yu Nu next to him.

Come to think of it, apart from asking about Qin Heqing asking people to prepare rice, noodles, grain and grass, inquiring about Yunu's news was also the reason why Hojo Shikang suddenly appeared in front of him this time.

Otherwise, apart from the karma when we first met, how could Hojo Shiyasu, who had no relatives, no reason, and was not considered a friend, come to him?

Do you really think that he is a heartthrob, loved by everyone?

Ananda, this is... Yunu glanced at Hojo Shiyasu and asked Qin Heqing.

Well, I don't know if it's because of going back to the Warring States Period, or because of the influence of Ah Zhen, Yunu, who has always been taciturn, has also learned to play the trick of declaring her sovereignty invisibly.

This is Hojo Ujiyasu, the guardian of Nirayama Castle and the entire Izu Kingdom where we are now staying, the eldest daughter of Hojo Soun. Qin and Qing Dynasty came to his side Yu Nu explained. Then he looked up at Hojo Shiyasu, who raised his eyebrows indistinctly, and said, This is Yu Nu, my companion.

Companion? Hojo Ujiyasu repeated with a strange expression, and at the same time looked at Ayukawa uncontrollably—

If she remembered correctly, Ayukawa was also Qin Heqing's companion.

Or is it that the companion she understands is not the same as the companion Qin Heqing understands?

But after seeing that Ayukawa and Yunu didn't respond, they had no choice but to suppress the weirdness in their hearts, nodded, and pretended to be indifferent, Then the relationship between you and your companion is really good.

I feel the same way. Qin Heqing said with a strange smile.

Okay, then I won't bother you with your study, so leave.

Go slowly.

Then Hojo Shiyasu left, disappeared from Qin Heqing's sight, and appeared in Hojo Soun's room after a while.

Have you found out? Hojo Soun asked Hojo Shiyasu, who was kneeling down.

Find it out. The reason why he asked someone to help prepare food is because he plans to leave for a while and go to the north to deal with some personal matters, and the time is uncertain, but he should come back to us in the end, because he has news about the cherry tree. I am very concerned. As for that woman, her name is Yu Nu, and in terms of identity, Qin Heqing said that she is his companion. Hojo Shikang said strangely.

Companion? Ran Nanjo frowned.

Yes, besides Hojo Soun, Nanjo Ran is also in the room at this time.

That's what he said, but it doesn't look like it from my observation.

How? Hojo Soun asked.

The way that woman called Qin and Qing was Anada, and she seemed to have a certain defensiveness towards women other than Ayukawa. This is not the behavior that ordinary companions should have. Hojo Shiyasu explained.

What about Qin Heqing's reaction? Hojo Soun asked again.

It doesn't matter how the woman behaves, the key is how Qin Heqing behaves as the parties. Because only in this way can we determine the real relationship between Yu Nu and Qin Heqing, and even the relationship between Ayukawa and them.

I didn't deny it. Hojo Shiyasu said.

Then it seems that his refusal to become a family elder and marry you was not simply because he didn't want to join our Hojo family. It may also be because of the existence of Ayukawa. It was a mistake. I didn't expect this. Hojo Soun reflected.

But Yunu... Nantiao Lan mused with a heavy expression on her face.

What happened to Yu Nu? Hojo Shiyasu asked in confusion.

The name is a bit weird, but it seems to be okay, right?

Anyway, she didn't see much abnormality from Yunu's body.

There is nothing wrong with the name Yu Nu in itself, but if you add that she can fly and has the aura of a monster on her body, this name is more than just a name, it also represents a kind of monster, Yu Nu. Nanjo Lan Su said.

You mean, Yunu is a monster, Qin and Qing may not be human? Hojo Shiyasu asked in surprise.

As a child of Hojo Soun, although she doesn't know as many secrets as Hojo Soun, she also knows the existence of monsters because of government affairs, and has a certain understanding of the power of monsters because of the existence of Nanjo Ran. , but never thought that there would be monsters who would transform into human beings to come into contact with them!

Then things get a little more complicated.

Not to mention, the issue of cherry blossom trees that Qin and Qing are concerned about alone is worthy of their attention——

Qin Heqing, who can associate with monsters and doesn't know whether it's a human or a ghost, pays so much attention to it. If you say it's an ordinary cherry blossom tree, who will believe it?

Then what should we do? Hojo Clan Yasumo Hojo Soun asked, who was startled by his guess.

What do you mean? Hojo Soun asked while looking at Nanjo Ran.

Until I'm absolutely sure, I don't suggest falling out with Qin Heqing. Nantiao Ran sighed.

Ayukawa suppressed all their force, and now there is another rain girl who doesn't know the depth. If this suddenly starts a war, Ran Nanjo can't imagine what the consequences will be.

Then it's business as usual. As long as he doesn't try to control us or threaten the entire Hojo family, we will treat him as an ordinary person and continue to complete our transaction until he gets the information he wants and leaves voluntarily. Hojo Zaoyun said decisively.

...

Then another day later, Qin Heqing, who still couldn't wait for Yue'er, decided not to wait any longer, and prepared to take the initiative to meet Yue'er.
