I Will Be the Son of Man

"What!? You met other [Heroic Swordsman] last night, and you also solved one of them!?"

Lixiang heard the news from Hill when she woke up early in the morning.

"Well, it's a servant whose real name is [Mochizuki Chiyomi], but last night, the other two [Heroic Swordsman] we met also appeared there."

Hill nodded, but before he could continue speaking, Li Xiang interrupted him.

"No. That's not what I want to ask, His Highness Hill, why didn't you inform me and Musashi at that time?"

"Although from the perspective of strength, you may have self-confidence, but it is very dangerous to act alone."

Lixiang looked at the other party seriously, with a serious tone in his tone.

Hill was stunned for a moment. He didn't think about it at that time, but because he found the trace of the enemy, he followed directly.

"Feel sorry..........."

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, Lixiang. Anyway, didn't Hill come back safely, and he also solved a [Heroic Swordsman]."

Miyamoto Musashi persuaded from the side, signaling Lixiang to calm down.

"I'm not angry, just, a little worried......"

After all, although Lixiang has confidence in Hill's strength, after hearing that the other party had encountered three [heroic swordsmen] last night, Lixiang couldn't help but recall the first night when he first came here, and he waited The scene when she was besieged by four [Heroic Sword Heroes] inevitably made her feel worried.

"That's true. This is indeed a bit dangerous, because we don't know whether those guys have other means. So, Hill, if you find an enemy again next time, you must remember to let us know."

"After all, we are companions."

Miyamoto Musashi did not refute Lixiang's point of view, she also turned her head and said this to Hill.

"Well, I see."

Hill nodded and seriously agreed.

At this time, the sliding door of the room was also opened, and Xiaoyu walked in with a plate in her arms.

"Huh? Why do you feel that the atmosphere is a bit wrong? What are you guys discussing? Did Xiaoyu come here by accident, Mikon?"

Blinking, Xiaoyu looked at Hill who was sitting upright, and Lixiang who was serious, and asked carefully.

"Hahaha, it's okay. It just so happens that we are also hungry, so I really trouble you, Miss Xiaoyu!"

Miyamoto Musashi smiled refreshingly. She stepped forward and helped take the plate from Xiaoyu's hand, and the air in the room became much lighter.

Seeing that Hill made the promise just now, Lixiang didn't say anything more, and his expression softened again.

And Ah Xie held Tian Zhu in his arms, seeing that the serious atmosphere ended, he couldn't help smiling.

"Speaking of which, do you guys know that something strange happened last night?"

Putting the dinner plate in front of Hill and the others, Xiaoyu suddenly said.

"Strange thing?"

Li Xiang looked puzzled and a little curious.

"That's right. Last night, there seemed to be a samurai who looked like a corpse, and ran to His Excellency the castle guard, saying that he wanted to kill His Highness the Princess or something."

"Because of this incident, the air in the castle tower seems to be very tense, and there are rumors about whether [Heroic Swordsman] did something again."

Xiaoyu looked distressed and sighed lightly.

"[Heroic Swordsman]? What you said last night......"

Lixiang turned to look at Hill, and Hill also spoke at the right time.

"That may be what that [Heroic Swordsman] did last night. However, the one from last night has already left the stage, but I don't know if the rest will continue to do that...... …”

Hill's tone was also a little uncertain. After all, it was not clear what the ritual of the [Disgusting Soil] said by [Mochizuki Chiyomi] last night was.

"Eh? Another [Heroic Swordsman] was dealt with? You really deserve to be a guest!"

Xiaoyu said excitedly with surprise on her face, the fox ears on her head were fluttering non-stop.

But after chatting for a while, she withdrew, and only Hill and the others were left in the room.

"Since we are not sure whether those guys will continue to attack Her Royal Highness, should we remind you or something?"

"After all, if their actions continue, it may be too late."

Lixiang thought for a while, and asked Hill and Miyamoto Musashi for their opinions.

"That's right. But, even if we need to remind, how should we remind?"

"The current guarding force of the Tianshou Pavilion should have been strengthened, and presumably they might not listen to our opinions?"

Miyamoto Musashi also became distressed. Although he and others had the achievements of solving [Heroic Swordsman], for those officials, it was just that, and they had not reached the point where they could let him and others protect the princess. Degree.

But if this is the case, judging from the strength of [Heroic Swordsman], ordinary people are definitely not their opponents.

If you only rely on those guards, it is likely to lead to a tragedy.

"Hmmm...that's really a problem..."

Lixiang nodded in agreement, she and Miyamoto Musashi frowned, and then gradually turned their eyes to Hill in unison.

The eyes of the two gradually widened, and then began to sparkle, as if they had thought of some good idea.

On the other hand, Hill blinked, tilted his head, and pointed at himself, with confusion in his tone.

"I?"

*************

"I didn't expect to let us in..."

Miyamoto Musashi looked at everything around him curiously. She and Lixiang originally planned to remind the princess by brushing Hill's face, but they didn't expect to be invited directly into the castle tower.

And the servant leading the way backed away respectfully when he informed them that they had arrived.

"However, is it really okay to just let us go to see the princess or something?"

Feeling slightly perplexed by the vigilance of these people, Lixiang opened the sliding door.

However, when the three of them just stepped into it, a figure suddenly rushed out and fell directly into Hill's arms.

"Ahh, Lord Hill, we finally meet again!"

Hill subconsciously caught the opponent, looked down, and found that the person who rushed over just now was the girl she met on the street who called herself Kiyohime, and she was also the daughter of Matsudaira, the princess here. .

"Your Royal Highness, how decent is Cheng! Please also pay attention to etiquette!"

Dan Teng's main meal also strode forward at this time, and pulled away Qing Ji who was hugging Hill tightly, with a look of helplessness on his face.

"Really, Master, why are you always spoiling my good deeds!"

Qing Ji danced wildly with her fists, and landed on Dan Teng's main body continuously, and that Dan Teng's main food did not fight back, nor did she dodge. While bearing silently, she could only persuade loudly.

"Because, it's too disrespectful for Her Royal Highness to always say this! I'm just doing my duty of supervision!"

Faced with such rhetoric from the other party, Qing Ji could only stop her hands resentfully.

She turned her head to look at the three of Hill who were in a daze, and suddenly gave another elegant chuckle, covering half of her face with her sleeve, looking like a young lady in a boudoir.

"Sorry for making everyone laugh."

Qing Ji signaled Hill and the others to sit down, and her expression became normal, and she sat at the top.

"Then, first of all, as the princess of this city, let me express my gratitude to everyone who wiped out those monsters who burned and killed the people."

"If it weren't for everyone, people in all parts of Xiazong don't know how many people would die at the hands of those monsters."

"So, thank you very much."

Qing Ji solemnly bowed her head to thank her, her solemn appearance made it difficult to connect her with the nympho princess before.

"Of course, if there is a bounty, a servant will send it to you later, so let's take it as a little compensation for everyone."

"However, originally I wanted to send someone to inform everyone, but unexpectedly, everyone came here on their own initiative. Sure enough, that lord and I have a good understanding......"

Holding her cheeks with both hands, she began to feel shy again, Qing Ji twisted her body, looking embarrassed.

As for Lixiang and Miyamoto Musashi, they didn't really care about each other's appearance.

(③42967465)

After hearing the word bounty, the eyes of the two began to sparkle, and the pupils in their eyes turned into the shape of money, looking full of interest.

"Your Highness, etiquette, etiquette!"

Dan Teng's main meal who was sitting at the nearest place below Qing Ji reminded her in a low voice, and Qing Ji also coughed lightly, and returned to her dignified appearance.

She secretly opened her eyes and glanced at Hill below, but found that the other party didn't seem to be looking this way, but looking at Lixiang just now. A little disappointed.

"Then, please come here this time, because there is actually one more thing I want to trouble you with."

Qing Ji drew everyone's attention back, and then continued to speak.

"You must have heard the rumor last night. However, it is not a rumor, but the truth. There is indeed an assassin targeting me."

"However, at this time, the last battle has just ended. At this time, if I, as a princess, is successfully attacked, it will undoubtedly bring panic to the people who have finally regained their confidence. of."

"Although there are reasons for the little girl's life, but for the sake of the general public, I must not be attacked at this time. Please also lend me the power to fight back the monsters and the [Heroic Sword Hero], from now on Protect Qing Ji from those evil thieves!"

Qing Ji lowered her head and asked sincerely.

"His Royal Highness, please raise your head! There is Tajima Mori and his soldiers in the city, and we also have sufficient manpower on our side. Please don't lower your head like this!"

Master Dan Teng persuaded with a flustered expression, and at the same time glanced at Hill and the others with resentment.

"But, the main meal, but Master Ma Shou also recommended these people to me before, so this is not my rash decision."

Qing Ji sat up, looked at Dan Teng's main meal seriously, her eyes were firm, and she had the temperament of a superior.

"What! But Ma Shou-sama's recommendation!? Okay, okay, I understand... I will confirm it later."

Dan Teng struggled with the main meal for a while, and finally gave up speaking to persuade.

After all, the princess of her own family has moved that adult out, which shows that she has made up her mind.

"However, even if Her Royal Highness decides this way, please allow me to send other people over."

"Although these few have made great achievements, to be honest, I still have no way to fully trust them."

Dan Teng's main meal also responded with a serious gaze. Protecting the princess and supervising the princess are his tasks as a retainer sent by the chief guard under Matsudaira, so even if he sacrificed his life, he would not let those thieves harm the princess. of.

"I see, then, just do it like that."
