Chapter No.17

Surrounded by towering and cold stone walls on all sides, the spring water was split by the stone cracks and flowed down the walls, making the whole space extremely humid.

This is a cave.After the god judges and sword men evacuated from the original river, they found this cave in the mountains.

At this moment, the god judge was lying on the ground covered with Taro Tachi's large coat, and Yaken Toshiro beside him had just finished treating the wounds of the sword men.

As for why the God Judge was lying on the ground, it was because of the dispute between Hasebe and Kohomaru.

"Master! There is no condition to rest here, just lie on my lap and rest!" Yakiri Hasebe said as he knelt on the ground and patted his thigh a few times.

"Master, let's rest on Xiaohu's lap." Xiaohumaru glanced at Yaki Hasebe and said.

The dispute surrounding the two lasted for a few minutes, and was finally interrupted by the interrogator: "Stop arguing, sit down and rest for me, I'll lie down on the ground."

Taro Tachi, who took off his coat and was about to treat the wound, looked at the clothes in his hand, then at the judge, and offered the clothes.

After treating the wound, a bonfire was lit in the cave, and the men with swords and swords formed a circle around the bonfire again.

The interrogator saw them obediently waiting for the chief to speak, and said, "Okay, let's make a long story short."

"It's almost the same as what I said just now. The enemy army is estimated to have more than [-] bodies in total. After subtracting the six bodies that were eliminated just now, there are almost [-] or more bodies. From the point of view that the investigation team is not a violator, most of the remaining It may also be a non-violation. Since the investigation team will run to the river just now, it means that the enemy's stronghold should be not far from the river just now. We eliminated their investigation team. Given time, they I will definitely notice it. Our time to relax is running out, so now we must recover our strength and injuries as soon as possible."

The sword men nodded one after another.

"Okay, I didn't eat the fish at noon, but I brought them all over. You should eat something first. Tomorrow, see how the injury recovers, and then consider going out to investigate." The god interrogator lay on the ground and said with his head turned away.

The men with swords and swords took out the fish they caught at noon, and started to eat the late lunch after cooking.

Because of the battle with Jian Feiwei Shi, the originally grilled fish has long since become inedible.But fortunately there was some fish left over from the noon catch, which was enough for a meal.

The god judge was still gnawing on the compressed biscuits, watching the men with swords and swords sitting in the cave gnawing fish, with a little disappointment in their eyes: "Sorry, I made you suffer so much with me."

"You must not say that. Although you are not like other god judges, you will greet all swordsmen and build deep relationships, but you will always give us the best you have." Pressed Chang Gu He turned around and looked at the judge aside, with a little guilt and love in his expression.

"Your Excellency Hasebe is right, you don't have to blame yourself." Mikazuki Zongjin raised his head from behind the fish he was holding, the most beautiful of the five swords in the world, even sitting in a cave eating a fish is so beautiful that it can be seen as a painting .

"All living beings are suffering, so how can I tell you how to endure hardship with you." Suzumaru Hengji also said with a light smile.

"It seems that when I go back, I will cook a big meal to reward everyone." Candlestick Qie Guangzhong said with a smile, and the golden animal eyes were no longer so attractive after narrowing.

"Master, why don't you eat some fish too." Xiaohuwan handed the grilled fish to the god judge, reaching out to take the compressed food from her hand.

But the god judge shook his head, and the whole cave fell silent.

At night, the god-inspector rested on the coat of Taro Tachi, which was padded in the corner of the cave, and suddenly felt a warm touch on his back.The wound in the daytime was provoked and exploded with burning pain, causing her to frown and open her eyes.

The god judge reluctantly turned his head, and Xiaohumaru knelt beside her, secretly kissing the wound on her back through the cloth.

The bottomless eyes of the god judge were instantly filled with hostility, and obvious displeasure could be heard in his words: "You are not on duty at night, what are you doing?"

It was already obvious what he was doing, and the interrogator tried to remind Xiaohumaru what to do and what not to do through this sentence.

Xiaohuwan raised her head, her long hair slid down her shoulders.He looked at the god judge, his bright red eyes couldn't see clearly in the darkness: "Master, please allow the little fox to heal your wounds."

As Xiaohuwan said, he reached out his hand to touch the face of the judge, but was slapped away by the other party: "Not allowed."

Xiaohuwan shrank back a little bit aggrieved, rubbing his hurt hand.The slap of the god judge was really merciless.

"Don't worry, I won't take any overstepping actions. But your injury is a bit serious. With human recovery ability, you need at least half a month to recover."

The judge turned his head and stopped looking at him, remained silent for a few seconds, and said, "Do you think that as long as there is a legitimate reason in the name of being good to me, or moving out of the identity of a subordinate, I will definitely tolerate you doing anything?"

"The little fox didn't think so."

"But your actions are conveying this information to me." Looking at the dark cave, there were other men with swords and swords who were sitting and resting in the corner not far away, and continued: "As a subordinate, you I hope that I will help you through the physiological reactions, choose clothes for me in the name of my subordinates, let me make swimsuits for you, and many other trivial things, I won’t list them one by one, it seems that I am very fussy. As the master, I have no reason Rejecting your 'legitimate requests', but these behaviors make me think that you think you can do whatever you want as long as you use this name, and then one day it will develop into an unmanageable situation."

"Although I have to admit, I did have a heartbeat. But now I tell you clearly that you must stop these actions. Maybe the line between legitimate subordinate requests and transgressive requests is ambiguous, but I can no longer let you go It did."

"Because you just want to be a competent master?" Xiaohumaru asked suddenly.In the darkness, the interrogator couldn't see his expression clearly, and didn't want to turn his head to look again.

The judge thought about this question for a while, and finally said uncertainly: "Maybe."

Behind her, Xiaohuwan let out a muffled laugh, with some self-deprecating and unwillingness in his laughter.

"Just because I came to Honmaru one step late."

"You are so cruel..."

The next day, the God Judge woke up naturally from sleep. When she woke up, three swordsmen had already gone out to investigate the enemy's situation.

It is said that Xiaohumaru volunteered to volunteer, and he must drag Hasebe along with him.

"You're awake, good morning." Sankai Yue Zongjin, who was playing with an unknown wild fruit beside him, said, stuffed it into his mouth and took a bite, with a bitter smile on his face, and threw the fruit aside.

"Is there anything unusual about Xiaohuwan this morning? I told him something serious last night." The interrogator stood back and asked this grandpa Dao who had meddled in her and Xiaohuwan's affairs.

"It's true that there are some differences, but it's harmless. This is during the battle, and Kohomaru can distinguish the priority." Mikazuki Zongjin said without the slightest worry.

The judge wanted to ask something else, but after a pause, he decided to forget it.

In the afternoon, Sanren, who was investigating the enemy's situation, returned to the cave, and Hasebe brought their investigation results: "There are footprints in many places near the river, but there is no way to determine the number of enemy troops through the footprints. The footprints extend all the way to In the depths of the mountains, we followed to have a look, but the road became more and more empty, and there was a risk of exposure, so we turned back on the way. According to the terrain, it seems that there is a canyon ahead."

"It's not a good choice to fight in the canyon. After all, none of you have any experience in fighting in this kind of terrain." There is no way to find out who happened to what happened. We have to find a way to get them outside, preferably in a relatively open plain area in the mountains."

"Oh? Do you have any good ideas to scare them?!" Tsurumaru Kuninaga was very interested.

"Mr. Tsuru, this isn't a small fight in Honmaru..." Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada sighed heartbroken.

The god judge recalled the scene of the battle yesterday, as if thinking of something, he smiled mysteriously: "Maybe I really have a good idea."

On the third day, the god judge led the men with swords and left the cave early.After all, no matter how safe a place is, staying for a long time will increase various risks.

They first found an open space, and the judge pressed the blade out of the cane, and made a clean cut on the outside of the forearm.

The blood immediately soaked the white shirt, and a large red flower bloomed on the arm.

"Master! What are you doing?!" Yaki Hasebe was frightened by her actions, and quickly raised the arm of the God-inspector to call Yakuken for treatment.

But the god judge stopped him: "During the battle the day before yesterday, although the enemy rushed over after the gun fell down, the enemy gun cut a wound on my arm before it fell down. I was thinking, They may not be rushing because of their companions falling to the ground, but because of the blood of the god judge."

"You came up with a very interesting idea." Suzumaru Koji said.

"...Although there is this possibility, let me be blunt, the canyon is far away from here, what if they don't come here?" Yiqi Yizhen asked.

"Of course I won't make this kind of gamble. If it doesn't work, there are several other backup plans." The interrogator said, "Okay, it's almost time, so you can hide."

The men with swords and swords took the order, and soon disappeared behind the bushes.

Overcast clouds covered the entire sky, and the wind blowing through the forest became stronger and stronger, indicating the upcoming change of weather.

A dull sound of footsteps resembling a heavy object hitting the ground gradually entered the perception range of the god judge and the sword men, and everyone paid full attention.

As a gust of wind blew past, the cloak on the shoulders of the god judge fluttered wildly behind him, and the hem of the clothes flapped and rattled.

She stood on the spot, holding the cane inserted into the ground with her hands folded, her calm and vigilant expression was not replaced by shock until the black shadow in front of her came into view.

It is an enemy gun that has never been seen before, surrounded by an unprecedented aura.
