The main Hokage man will only hinder my speed in making hand seals

On a country road, with heavy snow falling all over the sky, a simple wedding procession carrying the bride is moving slowly forward.

A horse stopped in front of them, and the wedding procession had to carry the bride to the side of the road and wait for the distinguished warrior on the opposite side to pass first.

The people carrying the sedan chair knelt on the side of the road, and the bride in the sedan chair also bowed her head respectfully.

The horse was moving forward at a snail's pace, but the warrior on horseback's attention was gradually attracted by the bride who lowered her head.

So beautiful...

……

"Didn't they say she was getting married today? Why hasn't the bride come out yet?" Several people waiting for the sedan chair outside the mansion were chatting in low voices.

One of them looked up at the sky and said, "It should be soon. Didn't the warrior who came to pick up the bride go in?"

Today is the day when the daughter of the Sakai family marries into the Shiwano family.

Although the Sakai family had a higher status, they owed a lot of debts because the head of the family, Iyuki, was not good at management.

The Shiwano family was willing to repay the debt, but the requirement was that the daughter of the Sakai family marry into the Shiwano family.

But now the auspicious time is almost here, and the bride has not yet stepped out of the house.

Another person comforted himself: "Oh, don't worry about it. We ordinary people don't know what these big shots are doing."

Who knows, they might work so hard to send the bride off today and not even get paid.

It would be better to help ordinary people get married, at least you can get a taste of the wedding banquet.

Unlike now, when the mansion is bustling with the sound of drums and gongs, they can only sit outside the courtyard wall like stray dogs.

"Why is there no sound inside?" Someone noticed something was wrong.

"Who knows? It's none of our business anyway."

In the eyes of those nobles and warriors, they, the common people, were no different from stray dogs.

After a few people finished mumbling, they became quiet and continued to wait for the bride.

There was an extra person outside the Sakai family's door at some point. She stood outside the door, looking at the family emblem on the door curtain.

The girl had a black headscarf on her head, with a few strands of white hair hanging down on her temples and forehead. Although her light blue clothes were simple, the fabric looked good.

She carried a small medicine box on her back and was not wearing a brightly colored kimono like other women, but was dressed more like a man.

She seemed to be a traveling doctor.

The kind-hearted sedan bearer hesitated for a moment, but still reminded: "Hey, that..."

The sedan bearer stared at the profile in a daze for a while.

"Uh, female doctor, don't barge in. Today is the day their young lady is getting married. If you bump into someone of honor, you'll be finished."

Qinghe held down the medicine box that was shaking slightly beside him, smiled and nodded at them: "I am the doctor called by the owner of this house."

"Is that so? Then you can go in quickly." The sedan bearer scratched his head and leaned back against the wall.

He was still mumbling, "A medicine seller dressed like a woman, a traveling doctor dressed like a man, is this normal?"

Qinghe ignored the sedan bearer's muttering, lifted the door curtain and walked into the yard.

The mansion was dead silent, and an invisible barrier divided the inside and outside into two worlds.

The kabuki performances that were originally held in the courtyard were now lifeless.

There were faint sounds of cats meowing in the corner, and the air was filled with the smell of impending storm.

Half a quarter of an hour ago.

Miss Mao, who is about to get married, is listening to her parents' teachings.

She knew in her heart that no matter how reluctant she was, she had to make sacrifices for the benefit of her family.

The members of the Sakai family are not complicated, and the current head of the family, Iyuki, is the second son.

Because his elder brother Yi Guo made a mistake, their father, the former head of the family Yi Hao, let the stupid second son inherit the family business.

Yi Xing was too clumsy, but fortunately his wife Mizue was strong, so the Sakai family did not fall completely.

The more important servant, the housekeeper, has been working for the Sakai family since the previous head of the family.

In addition, there is Yahei, a dwarf servant who does various odd jobs, and Gase, a maid who is mainly in charge of the kitchen.

The servants in charge of picking up and seeing off the bride, Sasaoka, Fujiyama, and Odashima, saw that the time was almost up, so they spoke up to remind the bride Mao.

"It's time for us to set off."

Mao bid farewell to the elders in the family and slowly walked out of the mansion under the protection of the retainers.

They had just left the room, hadn't even walked out of the house, when suddenly many mice fell from the beams.

Mao was hit all over by the rat and fell to the ground in fear.

Mrs. Shuijiang hurriedly helped her daughter up, and then shouted, "What's going on? Didn't I tell you to set up the mousetrap? Lizi! Are you being lazy?"

The housekeeper shuddered and pointed to the mousetrap beside him to prove his innocence: "The mousetrap is put away, but it may not work for the time being."

As the uncle who witnessed the whole process, Yiguo was not worried at all. Instead, his tone revealed a bit of contempt:

"Don't make a fuss. Rats are so fertile. Their appearance here is proof that the family will prosper."

Mrs. Mizue has been dissatisfied with her elder brother who only knows how to drink and talk bad for a long time, but today is Mao's good day, so she still endured it this time.

Fortunately, Mao was only a little frightened. After re-arranging her wedding dress, she continued to walk out.

The courtyard was eerily quiet, but none of Mao and the others noticed anything was wrong.

Soon, just walk through a small path in the courtyard and you will see the gate.

Mao took a small step forward, and a gust of wind blew towards her.

Everyone was blinded by the wind and subconsciously raised their arms to block the wind with their sleeves.

Maou fell down.

The bride's body fell backwards onto the floor, blood spreading beneath her.

Mrs. Mizue's expression was a little dull. She lowered her head stiffly and looked at the fallen Mao.

"Ah... Mao?" What happened?

"Ahhh! Doctor! Go call a doctor!" Mrs. Mizue knelt down beside Mao.

Yiguo, who was standing by, shook the small wine bottle in his hand and laughed with glee: "He's almost dead. Instead of calling a doctor, why not ask someone to bring the coffin over?"

"You bastard! What nonsense are you talking about! Mao is your niece, and she is marrying for the Sakai family!" Mrs. Mizue cried hysterically.

If she hadn't been stopped, Madam Shuijiang would definitely have torn Yiguo's mouth apart.

It was impossible to call a doctor in such a short time, and Mao was soon completely dead.

Mrs. Shuijiang couldn't bear the blow and fainted.

Everyone was at a loss as to what to do. The bride was dead. How could they explain this to the Shiwano family?

Odashima squatted down and checked Mao's wound: "It looks like her neck was cut by a sharp object."

"Did someone arrange assassins to launch a sneak attack?" Sasaoka guessed.

Fujiyama next to him immediately denied it: "If there was an assassin, it would be impossible for us to not see any traces."

Several retainers were guarding the front, and behind Mao were Lady Mizue and the housekeeper.

How did the assassin manage to kill Mao in the middle without exposing himself at all?

Sasaoka felt a little uneasy: "Who else could it be if not an assassin? It can't be a non-human, right?"

"No." A strange voice sounded.

Everyone looked over in panic and saw a handsome young man appearing out of nowhere.

The retainers all put their hands on the knives at their waists and asked, "Who are you?"

The medicine seller pasted talismans on both sides of the door, and strange black runes appeared on the white talisman paper.

After making preparations, the medicine seller answered them: "I am just a medicine seller."

Yiguo looked at the medicine seller with disdain: "The guy who appeared out of nowhere, isn't he the most suspicious person?"

"Go and tie him up quickly."

When Sasaoka heard the order, he immediately found a hemp rope to tie up the medicine seller: "Behave yourself!"

"Can you tie me more gently? It hurts a bit." The medicine seller stood there without struggling and let them tie him up.

Faced with this violent case, the medicine seller simply explained to them: "It wasn't me who killed the person, but... a monster."
