[Comprehensive] Honmaru in the tail can't hide

It was still early, and the frost and dew in the morning were very heavy, suppressing the boredom of summer.

At this time, most of the sleeping people have not woken up.On the spacious and flat Suzaku Street in Ping'an City, only Minamoto Raimitsu's bullock cart moved forward slowly, and on both sides of the road, a few pedestrians hurried past with their heads bowed.

Inside the bullock cart, Minamoto Laiguang sat kneeling, rubbing his thumb lightly on the handle of the sword at his waist, feeling uneasy and expecting more.

Beside him, there is a rectangular wooden box, and in the box, lying quietly is a thin green Taidao with a vibrating sword.

It was the gift he was going to send to Kaneshi Sekishiro Fujiwara's family as a gift.

Since giving a gift, there must be something to take.

Minamoto Raimitsu wants to take, is Fujiwara Kane's beloved young daughter, Fujiwara Riki.

The Fujiwara family has always had a tradition of intermarrying with the royal family. They married their daughters to the emperor, and the reborn little prince will be honored as the new emperor with the help of his mother's family, so as to maintain the stability of the Fujiwara family for a hundred years.

Corresponding to the Fujiwara family is the surname "Original" given to the princes and grandchildren after they were reduced to subject status.

These two surnames constitute the most powerful noble group in Heian capital.

Minamoto Yorimitsu's grandfather, Genkeki, was the grandson of the Sixth Emperor. After he was given the surname Minamoto and was reduced to a subject, he was also prominent for a while.It's just that Yuanjingji is not good at management. In his later years, he didn't care about many things at home because he couldn't forget his concubine Hongye (Note 1).

By the time Minamoto Raimitsu's father, Minamoto Naka, inherited the family business, the family business of Qing and Genji had almost been defeated by his grandfather.

So when Minamoto was young, his father took him to the Fujiwara family, and the Fujiwara Kane family betrothed a concubine from a side branch to Minazuka as his second wife, and Minamoto had a half-brother Source Laixin (Note 2).

Although the stepmother is married and has given birth to Lai Xin, she doesn't think much of Yuan Manzhong and his son, so she is also indifferent to Lai Guang.

At that time, the father and son lived in the Fujiwara family, and they also suffered from a period of time.

Later, Yuan Manzhong made military achievements in the Anhe Incident, and then moved out of the Fujiwara family.Because the stepmother and father Yuan Manzhong adopted the form of visiting marriage, after the complete political relationship between them ended, the younger brother Minamoto Yoshinobu temporarily stayed in the Fujiwara family.

Logically speaking, with the relationship between Minamoto Naka and his son and Fujiwara Kane's family, it is absolutely impossible for Minamoto Yorimitsu and Fujiwara Riki.Li Ji's final destination is most likely to marry a certain emperor with the help of her father and brother, give birth to a son-in-law, and then promote her son to the position of emperor, and become the most honorable woman in the world, honored and favored forever.

However, before Li Ji, she had five older sisters, all of whom married into the royal family and gave birth to little princes without exception.Li Ji was frail and sickly since she was a child, but she was born with a cute ice and snow, and she was loved by her father and brother.Fujiwara Kaneke looked at his daughter's innocent appearance, and after thinking about it, he decided to stop sending the youngest girl into the palace to spend her whole life.

According to the marriage method of the Heian nobles at this time, Minamoto Raimitsu, who likes a noble daughter with an extraordinary family background, intends to marry her as his wife, usually by handing over a letter of proposal to the woman's family.

Moreover, the woman has been raised in a deep boudoir since she was a child, and the man and woman cannot meet before they are officially married, otherwise the woman will be married to the man.

The marriage proposal letter Minamoto Raimitsu handed in earlier was mercilessly returned by Kane Fujiwara.At this time, Laiguang used him to return to Fujiwara's house to take on a job, and brought his father Minami Naka's famous two-shin Taidao to visit.

Minamoto Yorimitsu and Fujiwara Riki admire each other. Unlike other aristocratic men and women, Raimitsu has met Riki a long time ago because of his relationship with his father as the Fujiwara family general when he was young, and he can even be regarded as a childhood sweetheart.

Fujiwara Kane's refusal was nothing more than the feeling that his daughter was going to be snatched away by a man he didn't think much of.

Li Ji was kidnapped by thieves when she was young, and when she was hunted down by the Fujiwara family, that person abandoned the little girl in the depths of the Shinta forest in Izumi country, where it was freezing.If Minamoto Larimitsu hadn't discovered her in time, she might have died at that time.

This also became the time when the two became related.

Later, Riki gradually grew up, and did not shy away from Minamoto's existence. Even Kane Fujiwara turned a blind eye and let it go. The relationship between the young men and women can be said to be a matter of course.

After the Anwa Incident, Minamoto Yorimitsu left the Fujiwara family with his father. By this time, it had been two years, and this was the longest separation between Raimitsu and Riki.

In order to help his son Gao marry the youngest daughter of the old club Fujiwara Kane's family, Minamoto Naka has contributed a lot, and even one of his Genji treasures is willing to be a token of love for Minamoto Yorimitsu.

Two years later, I don't know what the little girl looked like back then.

Minamoto Larimitsu had a smile on his lips, associating with anticipation.

Suddenly there was a crowd of people ahead, and the commotion forced the servants who were driving the car to stop in their direction. Minamoto Raimiko asked a servant to go over and inquire before returning.

"Have you heard anything?"

The attendant approached in a low voice and said: "There is a woman's body in front of her, her chest was cut off, and there is a baby beside her, whose internal organs have also been emptied. I heard that this is the third incident since the beginning of summer. Now, the people in the city are panicking."

After a pause, the attendant continued to guess, "Such a cruel method is probably not man-made but caused by ghosts."

"Cutting off a woman's chest|chest and hollowing out her internal organs...is it really the same monster?" Minamoto Raimitsu thought about the monsters who wear notoriety nowadays, and it seems that none of them can be completely hooked.

It is said that there is a new ghost king in Dajiang Mountain, called Shuten Doji, who likes to eat the breasts of virgins, but the dead woman took the child and was emptied of internal organs, so it looks like Shuten Doji Not quite right?

There was a fatality ahead, and it was very likely that it was a monster. It seemed that the crowd would not be able to disperse in a while.

Minamoto Raimitsu had no choice but to order his attendants to drive the ox cart and turn around to go to Fujiwara's house in another way.

……

The bullock cart was parked at the gate outside the courtyard of Fujiwara's house. As soon as Minamoto Yorimitsu got out of the cart, he was dragged in by the anxious young man who had been waiting at the gate for a long time.

The other party dragged him half-walking and half-running, seemingly in a hurry, and murmured: "I said Lai Guang, you have finally arrived, if you don't come, I will be nagged to death by my sister!"

Yuan Laiguang was helpless, and explained to him: "I was delayed on the road for a while, and encountered a murder case. I heard that it is the third time in summer."

The young man who seems to be in a hurry is the fifth son of the Fujiwara Kane family, Fujiwara Michizag, and the first brother of Fujiwara Riki's compatriots. The relationship between the two brothers and sisters is also the deepest.

Minamoto Raimitsu played with Mr. Fujiwara when he was young, and they have a deep friendship.Even when Raikou handed in the marriage proposal letter, it was the Taoist priest who helped, and the Fujiwara Kane family did not like this marriage, and the Taoist priest was still involved in it.

For this friend, Lai Guang is very grateful from the bottom of his heart.

Mr. Fujiwara was stunned when he heard about the death, and blurted out: "Oh, that happened, in fact, the first incident happened in Li Ji's courtyard after the beginning of summer this year, and it was said that someone died. The maid also had her internal organs hollowed out, and her chest was scratched and covered with blood. Her death was very miserable. However, my father thought that such a thing had a bad reputation for an unmarried girl, so he suppressed it, otherwise Counting this, what you saw this morning should be counted as the fourth one."

"In Li Ji's courtyard?" Yuan Laiguang breathed lightly, and hurriedly said, "Is she all right?!"

"Don't worry, everything is fine!" Michiru Fujiwara laughed loudly, patted his good brother on the back, and pushed him forward vigorously, "However, Li Ji was frightened, so hurry over while father is not at home." Comfort, comfort!"

He blinked and blinked, with an expression of "I don't need to teach you what to do".

Minamoto Raimitsu: "..." Brother-in-law, you are really awesome!

……

With a brother-in-law like Fujiwara Michizane as the internal support, no matter how strict the Fujiwara Kane family is, they will not be able to keep the future son-in-law's love for his daughter.

Mr. Fujiwara sent his good brother Minamoto Raimitsu to his sister's courtyard, and then he called the maids who stayed behind to retire, leaving some privacy for the pair of lovers who had been separated for a long time.

Before Minamoto Raimitsu approached completely, he watched the girl leaning on the wooden railing of the water pavilion, staring at the water surface in rapt attention, not knowing what to think.

He breathed lightly and approached her quietly.

Only then did he notice that, perhaps because of the coldness, the girl was only wrapped in a few layers of delicate gauze, and under the hazy gauze, her delicate body looked even more creamy, so white that it was impossible to look directly at it.

Lai Guang's eyes darkened, and he said hoarsely: "You will catch a cold like this."

Hearing an extremely familiar voice that had been missed countless times in her heart, the girl turned her head in surprise.The lovely apricot eyes flashed like fireworks for a moment, bursting with beautiful colors.

"Raikou~"

Like a suckling swallow, she jumped into Yuan Laiguang's arms, rubbing her back and forth happily like a small animal.

Minamoto Raimitsu naturally caught her, and the wide-sleeved gown covered half of her body, shielding her from the cool wind blowing from the water.

The glimpse just now really surprised him. He almost experienced her entire childhood, pampering her like raising a daughter, but accidentally missed her transformation into a girl.

I just remember two years ago, when she was not yet her 14th birthday, she looked very good, but she was always childish.Looking at it now, the girl's coquettishness has already appeared on her body, which made him feel that he couldn't let go of the beauty in this hand.

She has been so straightforward and enthusiastic since she was a child, like a small animal expressing her love, she clings to him, a deep dependence that does not want to be separated for a moment.

Minamoto Raimitsu will never forget, on that freezing day, his sudden thought led him to the depths of the forest.She looked pitiful and helpless curled up in a fragile ball, and he hugged the young her, as if she was about to float away with the wind.

She was in his arms, shivering with cold, breathing lightly from the cold.

For some reason, Lai Guang unbuttoned his cotton-padded jacket at that time, opened his chest, and pressed the little girl into his arms, with her cold face pressed against his chest.

The young man's fiery body dispelled her cold little by little.

At that time, Yuan Laiguang knew that he would not be able to quit or let go of her.
