[Comprehensive] Mirror of Death and Life

Chapter 32 The Kingdom of Thunder

I don’t know if Her Royal Highness has noticed the murderous intent hidden in my eyes. She turned around and stood in front of me, just separating me from her maid. Looking at the splendid gold and red kimono on her body, I immediately turned around. Come on.I realized that I was disturbed by the death of Yazhi, and I even vented my anger on these protected objects. In fact, what can they do? The power and noble status, but no corresponding strength.Ninjas are just the opposite. The strongest ninja has the power to change the world, but...

I suppressed my thoughts in time, imitating Uchiha Makoto, jumped up from the ground and knelt on one knee, lowered my head, and apologized in the most sincere tone: "I am sorry to offend Your Highness." It should be so ?I'm a little unsure if that's the right thing to say.

"You don't have to do this. If it weren't for you, I would have melted like that cow, like snow in spring." The princess's soft voice came from above her head, she turned around and faced me, wearing clogs and white socks His feet moved to my eyes in small steps, and the long hem of his clothes was still dragging behind.

"Jing, can you continue to protect me like you did just now?"

No one spoke, Makoto Uchiha turned his head inadvertently, and winked at me. I swallowed the "I don't want" that just came to my throat, and glanced at Hui - his face was full of anxiety, and he looked more anxious than the princess. Also care about my answer——well, well, as long as she is sent to the Daimyo of the Land of Thunder, she will be fine.

"It's my honor." I finally replied in such a deep voice.

I don't know if it's my illusion, but I feel that everyone is relieved.

It's just that such a promise was voided after half an hour, because the Kingdom of Thunder sent someone to welcome the delicate and noble princess of the Kingdom of Fire.Led by several high-ranking nobles, a large group of samurai, and an equally impressive number of ninjas walked slowly from the end of the road. After seeing the convoy on one side, cheers erupted on the other side.

As soon as the leaders of the two sides met, they first connected with each other enthusiastically. This person praised the Princess of the Fire Nation for her ability and integrity, and she was overwhelmed by the country. In his mouth, this marriage is simply a match made in heaven, and the couple couldn't be more suitable.

These political contacts are not important to us. What is important is that the ninjas on our side, who are exhausted physically and mentally, feel that the other ninja's eyes are not friendly.They looked at us not with the eyes of allies, but with vigilant eyes, as if they were looking at a group of intruders.

In fact, this is understandable. If it were me, a group of ninjas from hostile families swaggered to my door, and I couldn't help but be on guard.

Unlike these dignified nobles who are asking for warmth, no matter how much they hated each other before, they would not send a knife into each other's body with their own hands, and they would not have their relatives killed by the nobles of the other party. The ninjas replaced these people.As a result, when these sword-wielding people laughed at Yan Yan and stood together, we swordsmen felt at a loss and couldn't treat the enemies who killed our relatives with the same attitude.

There are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests. This sentence does not hold true in the ninja world.

Hate doesn't go away, it just snowballs.

As the atmosphere of the aristocrats over there became more and more enthusiastic, the opposite drove the atmosphere here to become more and more condensed.

We can understand each other's defensiveness, but we don't accept it.Whoever ran so far to send the princess here, died several companions along the way, and slept in the open air. When they finally arrived at the place, not only were they not treated with good food and drink, but what they got was cold-eyed and reticent. Anyone would be furious.

As a result, the ninjas in the escort team unanimously returned the past with provocative and cold eyes.

There is an invisible thread in the air that is gradually tightening, and it is still tightening. The thread is stretched straight, and it will be close to the limit of breaking at any moment.

Fortunately, someone noticed the situation here before the thin line broke.It was the same girl sitting in the bullock cart who politely declined the request from the officials of the Kingdom of Thunder to let them escort us with ninjas for the rest of the trip and go straight home.

Sometimes I really feel that this girl who is only fourteen or fifteen years old knows everything. She is not the innocent noble princess who knows nothing in the novels. She knows everything, but she just doesn't say it.She also has her own purpose, for this purpose, she will no longer be silent when necessary, just like now——

"These ninjas have given everything to protect me, and they deserve rest and food. And according to my father's mission book, I should be sent to the capital of the Kingdom of Thunder by them. It's not that I don't believe in the ninjas of your country, but...these people are The last people from the Land of Fire that I am about to meet, please allow me to entrust them with a little thought of my homeland."

Her Royal Highness has brought up the words of missing the motherland, so what else can others say.The official of the Kingdom of Thunder sighed, expressed his sympathy for Her Royal Highness, praised her determination to marry her monarch from afar, and said a lot before saying the only important sentence: "Of course not. Question, they will escort His Highness to the capital of the Land of Thunder."

The ninja warriors of the Kingdom of Thunder who had already surrounded them retreated unwillingly.

They exchanged glances with each other, but no one said anything, they just walked silently to the princess's new car. After reorganizing, the convoy headed towards the nearest town. Capital city.

The people walking along the way were very silent, but the laughter of nobles came from the bullock cart from time to time, away from the close-range death threat, these people regained their talent for pleasure, even when they first entered the town hotel, Decided to hold a small banquet tonight first.

Of course, we are not qualified to participate in such a banquet, but with the guards around us all from the Land of Thunder, it can be regarded as an indirect chance to rest.

The night wind brought the music from the main hall, but it was indistinct and indistinct.The Kingdom of Thunder is at the northernmost point of the mainland, and it has entered late autumn early.Now not only do I not feel the gray cloak at the beginning is stuffy, but I feel very warm. There are a few maple trees in the courtyard, which reminds me of the mansion in a haunted mission when I was a child. The courtyard of that mansion also has such fiery red trees Octopus Maple Leaf.It's a pity that there was one less companion at that time.

I reached into the ninja bag and touched the special pouch. My heart settled down, and I raised my head to find that there were no stars in the sky, it was gloomy and gray, and even the moon was looming in the thick clouds.

The wind was getting stronger and cooler, and I found that my bangs had become longer, covering my eyes a bit. If my mother was here, she would definitely pull me to cut them short. Speaking of which, Hui had short hair when he was a child. I don’t know when it changed. With such a long ponytail now, everyone has changed unconsciously.

"What are you doing here?" A man came from the end of the corridor.

I turned my head and saw that there was a long knife on my back, and it was Makoto Uchiha who was imposing.There was a brand-new bandage on his right arm. Seeing me staring at it, he waved his hand casually to indicate that he was fine: "Go to the samurai for advice on sword skills?"

In this era of samurai decline, the daimyo of the Land of Thunder unusually raised a large group of samurai with superb sword skills to serve him. No one knows the reason why he did this, but the wandering samurai all aimed at this last "Savior", if you really want to find someone to practice swordsmanship, now is the best time to join this country that occupies a corner of the mainland.

Instead of sitting here saddening the spring and autumn, it is better to improve your own strength, the dead can't be kept, and if you always regret it, you will lose the future.I jumped up and followed Makoto Uchiha who left the question without waiting for me.He seemed sure that I would follow, and walked very fast, until I got close to him, and then he said slowly: "If you approach me like this, I will kill you."

I regretfully let go of the handle of the knife and shrugged: "I'm just kidding."

The samurai who were not on duty in the Land of Thunder just happened to be competing in sword skills.In the small yard, it was steaming hot, and surrounded by a group of people, two young men with their upper body naked, showing their fine muscles, were fighting with swords.The perfect muscle lines are bulging, especially the arms, which are full of powerful strength at a glance, and the eyes of the two people are also fighting together, which is the kind of gaze that makes one's blood boil.

The two of us outsiders were noticed as soon as we entered the yard. After seeing the ninja costumes on Makoto Uchiha and me, these people were suddenly full of hostility. A middle-aged man came over and asked aggressively: "What are you doing?"

My eyes fell on the samurai sword on his waist, the sword was not out of its sheath, and it was still a few steps away from me, but at this distance, I could already feel that sword was leaping.The man also noticed it, and seemed surprised. He lowered his head to look at Ai Knife, and patted it as if trying to comfort a restless pet.

"I heard that the most powerful samurai in the world is in the land of thunder, so I came here to ask for advice." Uchiha Makoto said indifferently, "I am Uchiha Makoto."

"Uchiha mirror." I untied the knife on my back, it was trembling strongly in the wooden scabbard, and the impact was bang bang, I have never seen it so excited.

The middle-aged man didn't notice what the two of us were talking about at all, and stared at the knife in my hand: "This is that knife."

That one?Which one?Uchiha Makoto said the same thing when he saw it for the first time, and he still hasn't explained it clearly to me.I asked him, and he said that he would let me know before the time came, and he didn't know what he was doing so mysteriously.I have used it for almost ten years, and no one has expressed surprise except Makoto Uchiha. The middle-aged man is the second one so far.

When other people heard the movement here, they surrounded them one after another, including the two young men who were fighting with swords. The crowd was very quiet. It seemed that not many people knew about this sword, even among the most dependent Among the sword warriors, there is only one middle-aged man.

"Can I take a look?" He stared for a long time before remembering me with the knife.

After taking the knife, he turned it over and over again, looked up, the original hostility on his face disappeared, and said seriously: "Please go into the room and discuss in detail."

I glanced at Makoto Uchiha, and he raised an eyebrow at me, which means it's time to tell you.
