Sword Raiders II

The warm breeze is gentle and the breeze is bright.

The Manyozakura trees growing near Honmaru gradually shed their previous pink petals of snow and are replaced by emerald green leaves that block out the sky and the sun.

"The cherry blossoms have all fallen for more than half a month, and the general hasn't come back yet."

Sitting on the roof, the red-haired little dagger bent his knees and rested his chin with a lonely face, and his handsome and cute face was aggrieved.

After the last batch of living troops came back and brought the news that the master was going to the Soul Realm to deal with the assassination incident, the swords had not been able to see her back.

The owner didn't come back the first week and missed her.

The owner didn't come back for the second week, missing her and missing her.

The second week when the master didn't come back, I missed her and missed her.

It's now the fifth week that the master hasn't come back...

"She hasn't come back for more than a month, I'm going crazy!" The red-haired short knife burst into a loud cry, "I finally got rid of the fate of being a secret treasure, and now it's time to start again? General, come back soon ah!"

Maeda and Hirano sitting next to him were taken aback by him.

"Calm down, Shinano, since the master told Mr. Changyi and the others to bring the word that they will return in more than a month at the latest, there will definitely be news in the next few days." Maeda smiled wryly.

"Maeda is right, the lord will definitely come back in the near future." Hirano also echoed, "The lord has never lied to us in this regard, has he?"

"That's what I said..." Shinano also knew that he was a little anxious, and sat down again with his mouth pouted, his whole face began to frown again, "But I still can't help worrying. After all, you all know, she I went to the soul world by myself to deal with the elder who is said to be a high-ranking noble... Isn't the god of death in the soul world always strong in combat power, and the rank is very strict..."

The boy was a little incoherent when he said it, but the two brothers around him understood what he meant.

General, is it really all right?

The same Yoshimitsu Dagger who had served in Maeda's house was sitting on the eaves and whispering together, but he didn't notice that there was a purple-haired and green-clothed Ninja sword standing upright on the eaves behind him. It was May Yujiang who also stayed at Maeda's house.

Hearing the words of the little short knife, Wu Yueyu's eyes flashed, and she wanted to say something, but in the end she pulled the black scarf tied around her shoulders and neck. The moment she lowered her head, she fell directly from the roof to the verandah below. superior.

Then, he bumped into the young priest with the snow fox in his arms.

"Ah." Both of them were shocked by each other's steps, and even took a step back.

"Baishan?" Wu Yueyu nodded to the other party, "Long time no see."

When he was a sword, he was given to the Maeda family by the Tokugawa shogunate, and within a few years, Baishan and Shinano came here as a dowry because the princess of the shogunate married the Maeda family. up.

Bai Shan also thought so, but the time spent in the shrine all year round made Lingjian's Fu Sangshen's emotional expression quite obscure and even mechanical.

"Long time no see." The priest boy bowed his head expressionlessly, and returned the greeting without any ups and downs, and then raised his face and looked straight at him with his pair of light blue pupils.

"What's the matter?" Wu Yueyu received a signal, and the other party should have something to ask him.

"I heard Brother Yiqi once said that you were the lord's valet on the last day of the present army's stay. On that day, she didn't go anywhere, and asked you a lot about ninja lurking and scouting skills." The young man's inorganic voice said straightforwardly, "Do you know the specific plan of the lord? Or, what do you think is the probability of the lord's success?"

Is this concerned about the safety of the owner?Wu Yueyu raised her eyebrows, but finally answered.

"Master has a good foundation, and she learns those things very quickly. If you have to ask me about her success in this trip, I think it is very high." Ninja Sword is not a secret, and it is rare to see Spirit Sword who is not emotional at the moment. The master was in a hurry after not returning for a long time, so he said a few more words, "If you are very concerned about what kind of plan she will carry out, you might as well go to Genji and the others. Since it is confirmed that the assassination of the master came from internal fighting within the family, the gang of knives often Instilled a lot of things in her." Regardless of whether she wanted to or not at the time, she finished it all in various ways anyway.

Bai Shan: "..."

When the screen turns, it is a teahouse with a pleasant view on three sides.

"Indoctrination? This word is used a bit harshly." Holding the spring tea of ​​the season, the elder brother of the Yuan family smiled softly, "The head of the family is not happy that I use the way of recalling the past as a reference for her, so I just casually Said a few words. For example, in the same family, it is always inferior to go on a rampage. Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, it will be a disadvantage for the younger generation, and it will also affect the elders in the family. "

Mutsu Mori, Nagayoshi, Hijikata and Tsurumaru who were listening next to him: "..."

"Just, that is to say, you mention the main hall to deal with the enemy, what do they mean by taking or destroying whatever they care about?" Izumi Mori struggled to understand the meaning of Genji's words, and then asked Tsurumaru who happened to be sitting next to him for help ask.They are all peace swords, Tsurumaru should be able to understand.

"That's almost what it means!" Tsurumaru didn't embarrass Honmaru's youngest blade, and replied with a smile, "But if you want to know the enemy's weakness or purpose, it takes time to investigate carefully, so the lord asked Wu Yueyu to do it again." It’s a temporary supplement, I believe it must have come in handy in the world of souls.”

Speaking of which, the main force of the Sifengyuan family has always been concentrated in the second team. From top to bottom, the people there are biased towards high mobility, proficient in assassination, concealment, spying on intelligence, and other such skills. The lord has learned these skills very quickly. It can be called a family talent.

Although it may be because of them, a descendant of a big assassin family is now obviously taking the warrior route.

Tsurumaru complained in his heart, while Changyi over there was already summarizing and analyzing.

"That is to say, the lord did not intend to stop the killing by killing when he went to the world of corpses and souls. Instead, he chose to hide his identity to collect information, and then wait for the opportunity. Although this is time-consuming and labor-intensive, it is better than killing It is much less risky for an elder who has lost his place to be accidentally implicated in other direct blood relatives."

It is true that the success rate of assassinating Su Lao with mental arithmetic and unintentional using the swastika solution is not low, but it is quite troublesome to deal with the follow-up.

A powerful elder of a great nobleman dies, even if it is for the sake of face, the clan will do their best to track down and hunt down the real culprit.It is a trouble to face the wanted and killed if the identity is not revealed. If the identity is revealed and it becomes a dispute within the clan, it is another kind of trouble-no matter how you say it is treason for the younger generation to kill the elder, no matter how good the reason is, the first impression of others Li is also disgusted, even if he is not held accountable, the direct line will be affected in the clan in the future.

"Instead of this, it's better to be a little more troublesome, collect intelligence and make a targeted plan, and then draw the salary from the bottom."

Isn't he powerful and powerful and has connections, then his power will be cut, his influence will be destroyed, and his connections will be broken, and nothing will be left. It depends on how he, a polished driver, sends people to continue to assassinate him.

As for the nobles, except for the youngest Bakumatsu swordsman present, they all know what those glamorous and prominent families are hiding.Based on their master's current skills, as long as they find the right time to dig out some mistakes or even crimes, it's really not difficult.

"Reputation is quite important, especially before the critical moment. It can never be easily destroyed." Mustache sighed softly, picked up a snack on the table and shook it lightly, "Even if it is to be destroyed It must also be destroyed where it is most valuable."

Keimaru, who was refilling his brother's glass, bowed his head silently.

In the battle of Genpei that established Genji's status back then, Minamoto Yoshitsune can be said to have made great contributions in it, but it is a pity that Minamoto Yoshitomo forced him to death in order to guard against his younger brother.Although he did become the final victor later, establishing the first shogunate and becoming the first shogun in history, his cold reputation of forcing his younger brother to death was eventually passed down in the history books.

"Hahaha, very good, very good." Behind him, Grandpa Dao laughed and concluded, "Since everyone has a conclusion in their minds, let's just wait for the lord to return soon."

Walking out of the tea room, Izumi Shou's expression was still in a trance, as if he clearly knew that apart from respecting the king and fighting barbarians, there was also such a thing as fighting among wealthy clans.

"Mr. Kan, don't have to think so hard." Horikawa next to him comforted him, "In short, you just need to know that the lord's failure to come back at this time is not because he is still in the world of souls, but that he should be dealing with the backlog of work in this world. I’ll be back to Honmaru in a few days at the latest.”

The three-year-old tiger who was dazed by the intrigues and infighting in various mansions, such as Heian Dao, Kamakura Dao, Nanbeichao Dao, Warring States Dao and so on, was shocked: "Yes! The main hall will be back in a few days !” That’s enough for him to know!

Coincidentally, the travel letter paper sent by the master from the present world also brought such news to Honmaru. Participating in the International Gourmet Summit held in Tokyo, so I have to postpone my return for three days.

Just reply!

A part of Dao, who was waiting to become the main stone in Honmaru, held the letter and almost wept with joy. The lord has never been away from Honmaru for so long like this time, they are really not used to it.

"Although I will wait in Honmaru no matter how long the lord has been away, but the moment of finally waiting for the reply is really hard work!"

"Ah, the feeling of being suddenly liberated after being ignored for a long time and not responding...is unbearable!"

"This idiot has left me aside for such a long time, and no matter how you look at it, it really is... Uhhhh!"

Regardless of a certain red-haired sword being dragged away by his brother covering his mouth, the whole Honmaru is full of noise because of a letter from the master, at least the Laipaiyuan side is strangely quiet.

Oh, it should be said that the fussy Aizen and the happy Hotaru were both laughing and laughing when they returned to their dormitory to see the guardian who was too quiet at home.

In the past month, they were used to the guardian's dazed state of wandering in various postures, so they also sat down next to him softly with a restrained voice.

"National Bank, are you still thinking about that question?" Aizen crossed her legs and asked Taidao in the middle.

"Master will be back in three days, you haven't figured it out yet?" Hotaru also looked up at him with the same movement.

"Ahhh..." The person who got the attention held the bamboo stick of Hanami Tuanzi in his mouth, and scratched the back of his head, "Actually, it's considered a good idea."

In the more than a month since that person left, he has gradually formed an answer in his heart.

The author has something to say:
