[War Engraved Night Blood] Himiko's War

Chapter 24

Kaoru Ishida calmed down, wiped away tears, put away the paper cranes, and followed Guangxiu back to the temporary camp in embarrassment.

"Hey, you're back!" Sheng Jia greeted the two while dismembering the wild boar. The wild boar he dismembered was bleeding, and the intestines and stomachs were dripping all over the floor.

Kaoru Ishida's face turned pale instantly, she turned around and ran out again, and she faintly retched from the bushes.

"hahahahahahahahahahaha!"

Guangxiu held his forehead with some headaches, "Don't bully Naiji, Singer."

When Kaoru Ishida returned to the temporary camp again, the camp had been cleaned up and a new layer of soil had been sprinkled on the ground.There was still a faint smell of blood in the air, but it was no longer unbearable to Kaoru Ishida.

Guangxiu was by the campfire, and there was a pot on the campfire, and he was stirring the pot with an iron spoon.Seeing Kaoru Ishida come back, he scooped up a bowl of soup and handed it to her. "Come on, Naki."

There are only leaves and roots of plants in the soup, and the faint plant fragrance eases Ishida Kaoru's tense nerves.After drinking the warm soup, Kaoru Ishida breathed a sigh of relief, "Ah... I feel much better... Where is Master Singer?"

"Singe went to the forest to investigate the whereabouts of the thieves. With his speed, he will be back tomorrow morning at the latest. He is the strongest and fastest runner among the generals of the Oda Army. If he runs seriously, he can't even run a horse. Him." Guangxiu replied.

"Oh, that's it." Ishida Kaoru held the bowl, stopped asking, and drank the soup quietly.

After dinner, the two cleaned up the tableware, sat by the campfire and chatted, and Kaoru Ishida soon felt sleepy.

Noticing this, Guangxiu said, "Naiji, go and rest, I'll watch the night."

Ishida Kaoru was indeed tired and sleepy, and he did not try to be brave. After thanking Mitsuhide, he went into the tent to rest.In the middle of the night, Ishida Kaoru woke up in a daze, and heard a faint quarrel outside the tent, which seemed to mention her.

"What's wrong?" Kaoru Ishida opened the tent and asked outside with sleepiness.

The quarreling stopped, and after a moment of silence, Mitsuhide comforted Ishida Kaoru gently, "No, it's nothing, go on to sleep."

Ishida Kaoru rubbed his eyes, gave a vague "um", yawned and retreated back to the tent, and soon fell asleep again.

In the early morning, Kaoru Ishida, who was awakened by Mitsuhide, cooperated with Mitsuhide to dismantle the tent and put out the bonfire. After packing up, Kaoru Ishida realized that there were only the two of them in the camp.

"Huh? Didn't Lord Singer come back? I seem to have heard the voice of Lord Singer yesterday..."

"Singer is going back first." Mitsuhide tidied up everything, and distributed part of the luggage to Kaoru Ishida, "We have to go back quickly, especially you, and you must be careful when you go back."

"Eh? Why?" Kaoru Ishida asked suspiciously.

"The Toyotomi army has something strange, and it is very likely that we will attack Hime Miko of our Oda family." Mitsuhide explained to Ishida Kaoru, "The time you lost your strength due to the healing technique before, we were injured because we killed the Toyotomi army. The seventh Godko Hime who has just arrived at Shenya and has not yet been welcomed back. Therefore, if Toyotomi’s army retaliates, you, who is also the seventh, are the most dangerous.” Mitsuhide paused, “It’s true that you are a retainer now, Naiji, but if Toyotomi The military general is close..."

Kaoru Ishida understood Mitsuhide's meaning, no matter which family's Ji Shenzi, in the sense of smell of all Crescent Moon, they all have a unique taste. "However, Mitsuhide-sama, I won't be targeted. No one in Toyotomi's army should have seen me."

"Indeed not, so follow that path to the creek behind the mansion, and you can go back through the side door there. As a human woman, walking with vampires, it's too conspicuous." Mitsuhide took the knife Ishida Kaoru dropped yesterday Pass it to her, "Be careful all the way."

Kaoru Ishida took the knife, opened his mouth, wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say.

"Don't worry about me, Singer should be bringing people here now, let's go." Mitsuhide urged Kaoru Ishida.

Kaoru Ishida knows that even if she has a certain ability to protect herself, it is only relative to ordinary humans.Mitsuhide's attitude proves that the situation he will encounter this time may be much more serious than the situation he encountered with thieves before.Whether she was besieged by regular soldiers or the Crescent Moon tribe, she was just a burden now.Ishida Kaoru gritted his teeth, and hugged the bag that Mitsuhide specially gave her, which seemed to be the luggage of returning from a wild trip, "Then, Mitsuhide-sama, I will go back first. Please return safely, I will wait for your return at the mansion!"

"Please rest assured." After Guangxiu responded, his figure flashed and he disappeared into the jungle.Always light and agile, he made a lot of noise in the forest.

"Hey! That man! That's not... Akechi Mitsuhide! Follow him!"

Leaving the noisy voices behind, all Ishida Kaoru can do now is to protect himself and trust Mitsuhide.With her head down, she crossed the weed-covered path and reached the creek outside the side door without encountering any obstacles.

"Ah... Xun?"

When Kaoru Ishida was about to reach the side door, someone grabbed his wrist.She turned her head and saw Kyoko holding a basin of clothes with a look of astonishment on her face.

"Ah Xun, why are you in such a mess, what happened?" Kyoko plucked off the scraped leaves from Ishida Xun's hair, and asked with concern.

Kaoru Ishida knew she couldn't tell the truth, but she didn't know how to cover it up.

"This...what's the matter with this knife?" Kyoko pointed to the knife on Ishida Kaoru's waist in astonishment.

"This... this is..." Kaoru Ishida was quick to think, "I went to dig wild vegetables in the forest, but I met a wounded samurai who said there were bandits in the forest!"

Kyoko covered her mouth in surprise, "What! Bandits! That's too scary!"

"Yes, so he entrusted me with the knife and asked me to ask for help!" Ishida Kaoru pulled Kyoko into the side door, "It's too late to say too much, let's go in one direction each, and call the patrol team for help!"

After entering the mansion, Kaoru Ishida separated from Kyoko and hurried to the main entrance.If Singer rendezvous with Guangxiu smoothly, then follow that road and return to the main entrance of the mansion!

Kaoru Ishida rushed to the main entrance, just in time to see the unscathed Mitsuhide and Singer coming back from the main entrance.She breathed a sigh of relief and went up to her. "Mitsuhide-sama! It's great that you're fine!"

"Naiji, I made you worry." Guangxiu seemed to be thinking about something, "Did you encounter any interception on the way back?"

"No, what's wrong?"

Mitsuhide had a difficult expression on his face, "Could it be that... the Toyotomi Army has discovered the place where the Oda Family Himeko is coming, and the target of this attack is not you, but the next Himeko who is about to arrive?"
