Hibiki Asase approved Nanke's proposal.

But before they could try to contact the shogunate, a flying arrow tied with a cloth hit the mast of the pirates' brand-new warship.

This time it was not the Hundred-Eyed Ghost who came to find them, but the Snake-Eye who took them to a shipbuilding bay they had never set foot on.

Different from the old warships left empty beside Asase Shrine, there is a huge ship moored in the calm shallow bay. It is not inferior to the standard warships of the shogunate. It is tied by several iron ropes and exudes fresh wood. and the smell of tung oil.

Nanke and the skirmishers walked side by side behind Asase Hibiki, with countless knives and spears placed diagonally everywhere in sight, and wary eyes everywhere.

In view of the excessive behavior of some Qinglai people and the disappearance of Awang, it is obvious that the pirates are also worried that they will defect to the shogunate at this time.

Sure enough, the first thing he said after entering the door, Hyakomeki said: "Aunt Asase, you have been targeted by the shogunate army. The shrine is not safe enough. Please move to the boat."

"Is it your idea?" Asase Hibiki stopped at the threshold without stepping in.

"It's what everyone wants." Baimu Gui twitched the corner of his mouth, as if he wanted to laugh, but couldn't.

The heroic hundred-eyed ghost when we first met has disappeared.

The powerful shogunate army, the incompetent soldiers, the ignorant and innocent people behind him, and the beloved woman who repeatedly treated him coldly.

Pulled by such a complicated situation, Baimu Gui's eyes were filled with only burning fighting spirit.

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.

No one wants to be the latter.

Whether it was the future of Qing Lai Island or his own future, if he lost this battle, there would be nothing.

Asase Hibiki looked at the Hundred-Eyed Ghost, narrowed his eyes slightly, put his hands in his sleeves for a while, and walked in slowly.

This should be the cabin used for combat meetings. Several maps were hung on the walls, and there were still remnants of pen and ink on the table. Snake Eyes drooped his eyes and sighed, leading Asase Hibiki and Nanke Skirmishers to sit down. A few cups of tea.

Neither Asase Hibiki nor Nanke dared to drink. Only the skirmisher took a casual sip, frowned, and put it down in disgust.

Bai Mugui has already spread the received letter on the table.

"When I went to chase the archer's boat, I was stopped by the Sword Demon. He also said, 'If you want the little miko to be safe and sound, you can exchange it with Hibiki Asase.'" The Hundred-Eyed Demon poured a cup of cold tea before summoning the courage to look at Asase. Se Hibiki's eyes, "Aunt Asase, what do you think?"

Asase Hibiki rubbed the cloth with the writing on it, pursed his lips and said nothing.

The fabric was exactly the same as the miko costume worn by Hibiki Asase, and it was torn from Awang's clothes.

After looking at it carefully for a while, Asase Hibiki handed the cloth to Nanke again.

There are only a few words on the white background cloth - "Under the South Cliff and above the Kejiao, you are not allowed to follow."

Nanke frowned.

What does it mean?

"In exchange for Hibiki Asase", her name was hidden between the lines without any hesitation.

Is it A Wang trying to convey something secretly?

It’s too meaningless.

Nanke hesitated for a moment and then handed it to the skirmisher.

The skirmisher's face darkened.

"I heard that you had an encounter with the shogunate army on the way to Qinglai Island," Baimugui said. "Perhaps their general thought that Aunt Asase would not agree and deliberately left Nanke to us as a backup. After all, Nanke is also the holder of the Eye of God in their eyes."

Nanke never used elemental power in front of Baimugui, so Baimugui naturally thought it was the work of a skirmisher.

Nanke had no intention of explaining, and was concentrating on the content of the message.

Given two options, conflicts will naturally arise about "who should be pushed out for exchange?" Generally speaking, it is a means of alienation.

But if the other party has already pried A Wang's mouth open and even knows Nan Ke's name, then the existence of the skirmishers cannot be concealed, and it is not her turn to discuss the fighting power.

It was more likely that someone was using the shogunate's help to convey in a subtle way that he wanted to see her.

who can that be?

"Asase Hibiki," the skirmisher suddenly said, "Have you ever heard of Gogo Nagamasa?"

"Of course, when I was young, I lived with him for a period of time," Asase finished his sentence, aware of the suspicion of the stragglers, and added, "But this is not Nagamasa's handwriting. Now that he is disabled, he will go to the battlefield again. The odds are slim to none.”

"What about Master Yu Yu's retinue?" Nanke asked.

For example, Kinjiro and the officers and soldiers who came out of Tasha.

Asase Hibiki shook his head: "Officials value family background and family background. If the master's family has a stigma, it will naturally be difficult for those who are vassals to get ahead."

Nanke's eyes fell on the piece of cloth again.

Strange, who could that be?

This handwriting looked strangely familiar, she must have seen it somewhere.

While thinking about it, Asase Hibiki said again: "The country has collapsed, can you show me the message again?"

Nanke, who was sitting in the middle, handed it over to her. Slowly, a thoughtful look appeared on Asase Hibiki's face: "I seem to have seen this handwriting before."

"Have you seen it too?!" Nanke suddenly looked at Asase Hibiki.

Asase Hibiki was startled and looked at each other for a moment, their eyebrows widening at the same time.

After meeting Hibiki Asase and before reuniting with the soldiers, the only words that impressed me deeply were the words on the tombstone for Nanke behind Mitsuyo's torii gate.

Is it Dao Qi? !

"Do you have any impression of the collapse of the country?" Nanke suppressed disbelief and turned around to ask the soldiers.

The skirmisher said succinctly: "No."

That's it.

Dao Qi became a disciple of Tengu in order to improve his martial arts and meet General Thunder to clear his family's reputation.

He really did it.

Nanke also thought of the martial arts and machine skills of the demon puppet sword ghost.

So that's it, it makes sense when I think about it.

The sword demon's opening and closing movements imitate the posture of Dao Qi wielding the sword, and the technique used is probably a reward taught by the general after Dao Qi successfully entered the castle tower.

The person standing opposite Awang in the water fortune-telling image should be Dao Qi now.

"It seems you already know who it is." Asase Hibiki looked at Nanke's expression.

"This matter..." Nanke looked at the hundred-eyed ghost who was standing aside across the table, his face getting darker and darker, and hesitated, "Let's go back and discuss it later."

Baimugui and Dao Qi's sword ghost have fought many times and have become strong enemies. It is better not to talk in front of Baimugui.

However, when he reached the door, he was stopped by the pirates guarding outside with their swords raised.

"Looking for death?" The skirmishers blocked Nanke and Hibiki Asase behind them, with a sharp momentum.

"I just said, please stay here," Baimugui stood up and walked behind them, hiding from the pirates and attacking from two sides, "I promise not to hurt you, and I will let you go when the warship sets sail on the eve of the war. Leave. As for rescuing Awang, the shogunate is our common enemy, and I will definitely..."

"Hakumugui," Asase Hibiki looked back with an unusually cold tone, "If you go on, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"This is war, Hibiki Asase!" Veins popped up on Hyakomeki's forehead, and he couldn't help shouting, "You are too strong. If you don't choose sides, you will be a hidden danger to us and the shogunate! I don't expect you to If you really take action, at least make a show of staying on the ship so that I can give an explanation to the brothers and fellow villagers behind me, okay?!"

But in this way, in the eyes of the shogunate, the miko was protecting the rebels.

Miko never participate in fights. This is the rule set by Narukami Grand Shrine, and it is also the credit that allows miko to walk around the world regardless of the disputes between forces.

Once you agree, who will dare to let the witch into their territory in the future?

Asase Hibiki's hand hidden in his sleeve had already begun to secretly knead the magic formula.

"Miss Xiang!" Nanke grabbed her hand.

If a conflict breaks out here, it will only get out of hand.
