Swallow Back

Mrs. Gui Die's complexion had gradually calmed down, but after hearing this, she seemed a little angry again for some reason, and stared over coldly.

Maybe it's because I don't believe in the saying "never have any evil thoughts".

Or else?It couldn't be because Liuyun "has never given birth to any evil thoughts", but she was angry instead.

Liu Yun didn't know how to answer, but felt that dealing with high-status women was really troublesome.

It's much more pleasing to the eye to be like the shrine maiden and nun of Izumo Taisha Shrine, who kneel on the ground and bow their heads and obey what they say when they meet.It would be great if Madam Gui Die could become like that...

Wait - why is there such a politically incorrect idea?

Liu Yun suddenly realized that his brain seemed to be poisoned by some foreign matter.

There is no doubt that it was caused by seizing the authority of the nine-tailed fox.

It didn't seem like the Nine-Tailed Fox was deliberately disturbing his mind, but a natural fusion of souls.It is conceivable that the Nine-Tailed Fox's mind will only be invaded by the flow of clouds to a deeper degree.

This is really...

Just now I said, "I never gave birth to any evil thoughts"!

Liu Yun was stunned for a moment, but Mrs. Gui Die was thinking hard, and at the same time, she said: "I have been deeply wounded, and my soul and body are constantly dying. Today, with the help of Mr. Liu Yun, I was lucky enough to wake up. But this is just to stop the boiling water, I don’t know how many days it will last, maybe only a few hours..."

At this time, Nine-Tailed Fox made a suggestion: "There is a way. Master Liuyun only needs to repeat what he did at Izumo Taisha to Mrs. Guidie. At least she can keep her safe for three months!"

Liu Yun knew that this suggestion was reasonable, but decided to ignore it.

He comforted in a voice: "Please rest assured, I will try my best to help, and I will not sit by and watch you get into trouble."

Mrs. Gui Die raised her eyebrows when she heard this, blinked her eyes, sneered, and said meaningfully: "Are you helping me like you did just now? That concubine is really grateful..."

Liu Yun was taken aback.

It took him a long time to realize that just now, it seemed... that he was molested by a domineering female president of the senior department, the wife of the former boss's boss?

Hey, this is not good, just in the process of being polluted and poisoned by the lewd thoughts of the nine-tailed fox, I might lose control after being stimulated by this...

Liu Yun sat up straight, restrained the thoughts in his mind with willpower, and replied seriously: "I mean... Madam, the situation in your body must be caused by being framed by others. And this framed Your culprit, I can probably guess who it is. Although I can’t find a solution to your problem, I can try to solve the person who caused this problem, and then there should be no problem.”

He deliberately spared some redundant nonsense, trying to cover up a topic that was inconvenient to say.

However, Mrs. Gui Die is so keen, she understood the key point in an instant, looked straight at her with a solemn face, and asked the question without hesitation: "The one who framed this concubine is probably His Highness Nobunaga!"

"Hmm..." Liu Yun could only smile wryly, "You guessed it as expected."

"It's a matter of course." Mrs. Guidie's expression was only slightly sad, not intense, and there was no surprise at all.She sighed softly, and said quietly: "Actually, the reason why the concubine has retained her status these years is nothing more than because the inheritance left by my father has not been dealt with... don't mention these. Speaking of Master Liuyun, His Highness Nobunaga said You were executed, but my concubine has always felt suspicious, and I would rather believe that you are retiring to another country, and I saw you today. It must be very exciting, can you share it?"

In just a short moment, Mrs. Gui Die was freed from her depressed mood, regained her graceful and calm appearance, and even asked questions with great interest.

"Actually, I went to Tsushima Island between Dongying and Koryo, and there are indeed some wonderful scenery there." Liu Yun explained casually, then shook his head: "I can't explain clearly in a few words, wait until I ask Oda Nobunaga to settle the account It's clear, let's take you to play again!"

"Then that explains." Mrs. Gui Die smiled, then lowered her face, and said decisively: "I also want to settle accounts with His Highness Nobunaga, so I just go with you! With a sharp blade, it won't become a burden if you think about it."

Chapter 298 Is This What People Do?

Mrs. Gui Die has not got rid of the effect of the spell, her body and soul are still in a state of withering. This is a slow but hard-to-stop process. There are no obvious external signs, and it is difficult to detect without careful discrimination.

Rather than waking her up just now, Liu Yun distributed part of her life force, allowing her to regain her sanity temporarily.

Compared with the things done in the Nine-Tailed Fox's Kingdom of God, it can be said to be similar in purpose.

But this is just a drop in the bucket, and it only meets the urgent needs, and does not really solve the problem.

I don't know how Mrs. Guidie deduced the real identity of the "culprit", and I don't know why Oda Nobunaga suddenly wanted to kill his wife to testify, but when she asked to "settle accounts" together, Liu Yun had no reason to refuse .

After all, they are victims and should have the right to take revenge in person.

Moreover, it is inexplicably touching to think about the troubles that Mrs. Guidie went to find Oda Nobunaga.

What will His Highness the Demon King look like then?

Probably because he was furious in his heart, but on the surface he pretended to be confident.

Liuyun and Mrs. Guidie walked out of the room, and saw that the servants and nuns inside and outside Qingjian Temple had all returned to normal.Originally, they were not the target of the spell, and they were only reduced to a half-dead state after being affected.

These mortals have very limited mental and physical endurance, so when they wake up, they are just at a loss, unable to remember the previous events at all.

Seeing Mrs. Gui Die and a strong young man coming out to the yard at the same time, the servants and nuns were all shocked, they looked at each other and dared not make any sound.

No one seemed to recognize it. This was Sasaki Liuyun, who had been rumored to be dead for many years, and he was just an ordinary boy.

This just happens to need no further explanation.

Mrs. Gui Die told them to guard the door, not to go out easily and not to gossip, so she set off with Liu Yun on the road.

……

It is very fast from the castle town of Azuchi Castle to Kiyomiji Temple in the northwest suburb of Kyoto, but it is a little troublesome on the return journey.Although Mrs. Gui Die is good at martial arts, it is only at the level of a mortal, and her moving speed is not that fast.

Unless Liuyun is carrying her, running with her on his back, or adopting the posture of a princess hug—how embarrassing that would be!

Anyway, there is no rush for such a short while, and it is not bad to walk along the normal road.

At the same time, you can use your own eyes to see the people's livelihood along the way.

Departing from the northwest suburbs of Kyoto, heading east, we entered three medium-sized trading towns, Otsu, Shansuo, and Toriigawa. Liu Yundu went in out of curiosity to have a look.

He didn't have much time and didn't understand the business laws of this era, so naturally he couldn't draw any systematic conclusions. He only felt that the overall atmosphere was much better than before from the perspective of a passer-by and a customer. slide.

At the same time, he can also discuss with Mrs. Guidie to confirm his inner speculation.

All in all, merchants in the Kinki area are now clearly divided into two categories: "Queen merchants" and "others".The latter can only work hard to grab some leftovers and have to pay extra "seat money"-which can be understood as "monopoly rights transfer tax".

It seems that it is not much different from the previous situation where religious forces monopolized commercial interests.

Fortunately, under the rule of the Oda family, the status of the imperial merchant is not valid for life, but needs to be reviewed regularly, which adds a little bit of restraint, so that it will not be as stagnant as before.

However, Mrs. Gui Die explained that the assessment of the imperial merchants is only effective in the first two or three years, and as long as there is no big news in the future, and they give generous gifts to the higher-ups during the festivals, they can maintain their power and status.

Because when Oda Nobunaga promoted the reform of Rakushi Leza, it was mainly to compete for financial resources from traditional temples and shrines to implement further plans.Now that the goal has been achieved, I don't care much about the follow-up processing day by day.

Combined with the investigation of the massacre in the Iga country, Liu Yun has a rough judgment and is more determined in his heart.

Mrs. Gui Die was a little puzzled when she saw this, and asked him why he cared about these things.

Liu Yun sighed and said, "If I told you...that the trouble I came back to Oda Nobunaga this time was not because of any personal grievances, but for the well-being of the people of the world, would you believe this?"

Mrs. Gui Die burst into laughter upon hearing this.

She was obviously used to hearing the nonsense of politicians, and it was difficult for her to accept such high-sounding official speech.

He didn't say anything after laughing, but the meaning couldn't be more clear.

Liu Yun didn't care much about her reaction, but he didn't care at all. He shook his head helplessly and said, "I know it doesn't make sense. But actually, I really hope you can believe it."

When the voice fell to the ground, he suddenly felt that something was not quite right.

Mrs. Gui Die smiled sweetly, and the curve of her face that was as hard as a shave suddenly became gentle, and she said softly: "Since Mr. Liu Yun has said so, of course I will believe you."

This doesn't seem quite right.

The style of painting is a bit off.

After a while, Liu Yun immediately realized that it was the Nine-Tailed Fox's ability that was at work, and gave Mrs. Gui Die a little imperceptible hint, making the atmosphere inexplicably charming and ambiguous.

He immediately reprimanded secretly.

Nine-Tailed Fox immediately cried out: "This concubine can't make up her own mind in front of you now. Wasn't what happened just now caused by Master Liuyun's inner desires revealed?"

Liu Yun was stunned for a moment, and wanted to refute but didn't have the confidence.

It is very easy for him to manipulate other people's minds, but it is very difficult to understand his subconscious mind.

……

Liuyun didn't deliberately cover up his whereabouts, so when he settled down to rest in the fourth town, someone who had seen the world finally felt something was wrong.

"This man looks a bit like that... the former 'Number One Warrior of the Oda Family' Sasaki Ruun. Didn't it mean that he has been dead for many years?"

"There is also the woman who followed him. No matter how you look at it, she is the mistress of the Oda family, Mrs. Gui Die, right? Mrs. Gui Die should have passed away long ago."

"Why are they together..."

"Shouldn't we first consider the question of why the dead suddenly come back to life?"

"I heard that they were all executed by His Royal Highness (Oda Nobunaga), although the reason for the execution is still unknown."

"Since the two of them appeared at the same time, they are still quite close and friendly. The reason for this must be obvious."

"It seems that there have been rumors about the 'resurrection of the wronged soul' in Kinki recently."

"I seem to have heard about it too. It's not necessarily a rumor!"

"Hey, if you put it this way, about Sasaki Liuyun and Mrs. Guidie, they are also considered to be involved in the strange talk of 'revival of wronged souls'."

"That is to say, the two people over there are actually not human beings but monsters?"

"It's normal, the more powerful the big monster, the better it can cover up the aura on its body!"

"Could it be that the adulterer and adulterer who was killed turned into a ghost and came to trouble Your Highness (Oda Nobunaga)?"

"Hush... whisper. You don't care what they are going to do. Anyway, it's not our turn to worry about those who know less than a thousand stones. Let's go quickly."

"Yeah, don't annoy them, report it to the higher-ups."

"Hmm, Your Highness (Oda Nobunaga), since he can kill them once, he can definitely kill them a second time."

"Yes, yes, let's go, let's go..."

"Don't worry too much, gentlemen, maybe it's just a mistake."

"Yes, if you want to report it, you should report it. I think it's because you think too much."

Across a thick wooden wall, with a distance of dozens of steps, the group of mid-level warriors thought that they would not be noticed if they lowered their voices.Where did they expect that someone could master the ability of clairvoyance and wind ears?

Liu Yun saw the reactions of these people from a distance, and learned that the current retainers of the Oda family still have unwavering awe and trust in Nobunaga.

He realized something in his heart.

The timing of the rumor of "resurrection of wronged souls" is really a coincidence.It just made the witnesses think that they saw the wraith, so they would not doubt the question of "whether Sasaki Liuyun is not dead".

According to the previous information, once the retainers have such doubts, Oda Nobunaga's invincible and omnipotent image will gradually collapse, and his demon king-like power will gradually lose.

But now the warriors firmly believe that "Since His Royal Highness Youfu can kill them once, he can definitely kill them a second time."

In this case, even if Liu Yun stood up to make some big news and made a wave of presence, people would probably only understand it as "resentful spirits causing trouble", and still wouldn't think it was Oda Nobunaga's powerlessness.

Could it be that Nobunaga had anticipated something in advance, so he deliberately made such an arrangement?
