the world

The shrine maidens standing in twos and threes saw Taki Wakaba walking towards them, and quickly bowed their heads to say hello.

Even if someone doesn't remember Taki Wakaba, as long as they see the chic Chihaya on Taki Wakaba, they will know her position as the young palace secretary.

Oni Wu Tsuji Muyou did not bow like those girls, but stared straight at Taki Wakaba.The miko beside him touched him with her elbow to remind him of such impolite behavior, but seeing that he was unmoved, she had no choice but to restrain her behavior.

"You guys do your own thing." Seeing the nervous maidens, Taki Wakaba said, "You stay here."

She looked at Guiwu Tsuji, and the other shrine maidens were silent, thinking that her companion had offended the palace secretary, and hurriedly retreated.

Taki Wakaba walked a certain distance outside the corridor, and Gui Wu Tsuji followed behind her, until she reached under a snow-covered pine tree. At this time, there were no people around, and only the sound of wind and occasional snow falling from the branches could be heard. The rustling sound of going up and down.

"It seems that your body has recovered well, and you can move around freely." Whether the ghost slaying ceremony can be carried out smoothly and Jing's physical condition, etc., many things are backlogged in Taki Ruoye's heart. Tsuji Wumi was more worried than happy, but she didn't want to show it on the face, so she suppressed her sigh in her heart, but greeted the ghost dance Tsuji Wumi gently.

"The current weather makes me feel very comfortable. It's been three years... It's been three years since I separated from you, and your appearance looks more mature than it was three years ago."

"Really? I'm old enough to be called an old woman behind my back."

Unmarried women, just like Qingmei at that time, no matter how impeccable they are, they will always be gossiped.

"No, you are more lovely than then. Besides, you never care about those people's gossip."

"Hmm... If you want to say cute, you can score ten points now."

The falling snowflakes fell on the hair of the two of them, and it has not melted for a long time.

"Red and white, both go very well with black."

Oni Wu Tsuji said so, Taki Wakaba's scarlet hakama looked very bright in the snow, and her neatly tied long black hair was covered with several snowflakes.

The Taki Ruoye he had seen before had long hair hanging loose, which was also the usual aesthetics of the nobles in the court. Seeing her hairstyle with long hair tied up now, he also thought it looked good.

"Why did you come here?" After the chat was over, Taki Wakaba got to the point.

"I'm here to take you away."

"why?"

"This is the last chance. If this winter passes, I won't have such a chance."

"At least let me know before that."

"If I was persuaded by your reply, then I would not be here now, so I will come to you before I am persuaded by you."

"Where are you going?"

"You can go wherever you want."

"So this counts as elopement?"

"If you want to, it is."

"I'm safe now, aren't I? Wouldn't it be better to go back after my term is over than to escape the public eye like this?"

"Shuangying is your friend, right? She asked me to tell you not to go back even if the term of office is over. Mingjian Yuqian seems very angry, and even threatened to kill you."

"...why? I don't remember pissing her off."

"When she heard the news that Jing Zhai Gong's health was getting worse, she always felt that you were neglecting her. I think her anger was groundless. We all know that this has happened to every Zhai Palace in recent years. I have nothing to do with you. what relationship?"

"Jing has always concealed her physical condition in the letter she wrote to Akima Gozen. There are only a handful of guests who have visited the shrine in recent years. Akima Gozen... where did she get the news? Woolen cloth?"

Just like when she learned the false news about the curse of the fasting palace.

"How did you get in and out of Shishi?" Taki Ruoye asked.

"I heard that a group of people in the shrine had retired, and the shrine has always been heavily guarded, so I used money to buy a girl who didn't want to be a witch, and changed into her clothes."

Taki Wakaba thought for a while with downcast eyes, and said, "Thank you, you really helped me by being here. Can you do something for me? I still have something to do in the shrine, wait for me to finish it , I will go with you. You should be able to feel at ease watching me and protecting me in the shrine, right?"

"What's the matter?" In Onimai Tsuji's imagination, this was already a good answer from Taki Wakaba, and his expression was obviously relaxed.

"Help me find the spies among the witches. Akima Yuzen has been able to know the news about the shrine. It must be that the news inside the shrine has leaked out. The priesthood in the shrine has never been in contact with outsiders, so spies They must have come here with a mission in mind from the very beginning. The term of office will not exceed 18 years, and the tenure of male priests is long, which is only possible for witches. Especially for witches who have correspondence with the outside world, you must pay special attention. This is a I will entrust you with a very important matter now." Taki Wakaba said solemnly.

"Okay, I will definitely find out this spy." Onimai Tsuji who said this said, seeing the reassuring smile on Taki Wakaha's face, he couldn't help showing a smile too.

Twelve Feathers Green followed the instructions of the officials, and came to the corridor to look for Taki Ruoye, but she didn't see her figure, and looked to the side only to find that Taki Ruoye was talking to an official.

Wow!Taki Wakaba is now in a place where there are no people!Isn't that exactly the kind of scenario I'm trying to create conversation opportunities for? !

Without thinking too much, she quickly walked towards Taki Ruoye while greeting her.

The official seemed to have ended the conversation with Taki Wakaba, and passed Twelve Feather Green, because of her outstanding beauty, Twelve Feather Green couldn't help but take another look.

"It's really rare. Is there anything Little Lu'er can do for me?"

In Taki Ruoye's impression, Twelve Feather Green has always avoided contact with her as much as possible, and it is really strange to come to her on her own initiative at this time.

"Hmm...Miyaji Taki, how is my father's mood recently?"

"It's the same as before, but the Almighty is busy with things recently, so he may not be able to take care of other things. Is there anything Xiao Luer can do with the Almighty?"

"Well, I have a friend. She, too, was of that age, and had a lover of her own kind, who also proposed to her, but her father never knew about it. She asked me How should I tell her father." Twelve Feathers Green's heart was pounding, but she still pretended to be generous and asked, "But I have no experience at all, so I really don't know how to comfort her. Taki Shaogong Si, you are so smart, how about you treat her father as someone you are familiar with, such as a god, and come to give your opinion on this matter?"

Twelve Feathers Green's few words contained truth mixed with lies, although her expression was well controlled, but to Taki Ruoye, these few words were the same as not wearing clothes.

By the way, when did Twelve Feather Green meet the wild man outside?It's been so long that she and the Almighty haven't found out?

"Is that person also a shrine maiden?" Taki Wakaba replied pretending not to notice anything.

"Uh...yes, of course it's not the priestess of our shrine! You know, I also have a few expensive girlfriends outside. She is the priestess of the shrine that her family has always enshrined. Shrine." Twelve Feathers Green has been speaking more and more smoothly.

Taki Wakaba let out a meaningful sigh, Twelve Feathers Green almost thought she saw something, Taki Wakaba said, "If it's a witch, it's really difficult, because this kind of thing is not allowed in the shrine .But if you ask me to think about the Divine Master as an object, I think if it was his daughter who did such a thing, he should not be so angry that he would fly into a rage."

"Then...how much will it be?"

"It depends on how your friend expressed it to her father. My suggestion is to tell the truth and be sincere. What kind of person is that boy?"

"He should be a good guy."

"Isn't this better? Some people may think that such behavior is blasphemy, but your father never intended to let his daughter be a witch from the beginning. The point of this matter is concealment rather than violation. .”

Hearing Taki Wakaba's answer, Twelve Feather Green couldn't help but feel happy.

"Thank you! Taki Shaogongji! I think I know how to reply to my friend." Twelve Feathers bowed to Taki Wakaba sincerely.

"It's okay. At the end of the year, the priests should be more careful. You have to keep an eye on those under your command, and don't let them walk around at will. Especially during the sacrifice, you must count the number of people."

"Ok."

After instructing Twelve Feathers, Taki Wakaba went to Twelve Hares Oroshin, and told him about the fact that Akira Ozen could still learn about the Jingu's information.

Information about the details of the Zhai Palace curse, if it is someone who has been deeply involved in the crusade against the ghost king before, then they will naturally know.But about Jing's physical condition, only those who are in the shrine can know.

If the spy is in the shrine, it cannot be underestimated.

"I have a friend named Onimai Tsuji Mumi. He got involved in the official ranks. He also told me this information. I know that the screening of witch's life experience is very strict, and it is not so easy to get in. In my opinion Knowing him, relying on his strength alone, it is not easy to do this."

After all, Guiwu Tsuji Wumi could be easily deceived by someone in the past with the excuse of "there is a new bone-setting master in the palace", so this time, he may have been induced by someone.

"All witches have to go through several years of teaching before entering the priesthood. Therefore, even if they are to become an official, the candidates are decided early in the morning. In addition to the documents, there are also handovers from their elders and teachers. If you don't say it, I'm afraid no one will You will realize that other people have been mixed in with the newly appointed official. This method has to be said to be brilliant."

"But Oni Wu Tsuji only thought that he came to the shrine by himself, and the purpose of the people behind him to induce him was cleverly hidden."

"But doesn't the information he told you remind you that there are spies in the shrine? If the purpose of the person behind it is to destroy the rituals of the shrine, then this is contradictory. If his methods have always been so clever, There would be no mistakes like this." Twelve feathers Zhixin pointed out the irrationality.

"Because he doesn't understand Oni Wu Tsuji." Taki Wakaba smiled, "I'm afraid that person still thinks that he used Oni Wu Tsuji's move as a clever means. That person should have a high status, and there is no doubt about it." The pride and self-confidence that look down on others. The ghost Wu Tsuji in his impression is still the tyrannical and ruthless person many years ago, with a happy face, and anyone who just follows his own heart will be fine."

"So you left him in the shrine?"

"Yes, if Oni Wu Tsuji was being used, then he would be the only one to go back. That's why I left him in the shrine, and I want to protect him."

"I see."

"Tomorrow, during the daily class, all the priests will gather in front of the worship hall, and I will say that I will conduct a surprise assessment, and I will conduct individual interviews one by one. Those who have finished the interview will go to Doma at the end of the corridor. No one is allowed to accept the question. I will find the spy." Taki Ruoye's fingers caressed the tome on the table, and the content in it was so familiar to her that she couldn't be more familiar with it. There was no confusion in Ye's thinking, her heart was as clear as a mirror.

Under [According to the Heart], spies have nowhere to escape.
