Probably because of something on his mind, Shi Yu didn't sleep as peacefully as he imagined.The half-dream and half-awake state lasted for a while, but after waking up, I felt even more exhausted.

At this time, they had already returned to Heianjing.

Many times, Shigure thinks that monsters are very foul existences, just like at this moment, ordinary human beings are rushing from Heian-kyo to Ise country. The little distance is not worth paying attention to at all. It only needs a little physical strength to go back and forth in a short time with ease.

Heian-kyo was as prosperous as ever, and the crowds walked like weaving.Shi Yu has been with King Ma Cang Ye for a long time, and he has acquired some of his habits at some point, and he is reluctant to expose his whereabouts to the eyes of ordinary people.

Moreover, she did not forget that when she followed Ye Wang out last time, she accidentally opened the car and was bumped into by a little girl. At this moment, she was also followed by three genuine monsters. , but it is not easy to get out.

Just as he was about to take out the talisman paper from his sleeve to hide his figure, Shi Yu was startled suddenly by a thunderclap.

Even though it was cloudless and the sun was just right, a large group of black thunderclouds gathered in the sky above Ping'an Jing, and the thunder light flickered faintly from it. The majestic majesty scared countless people of Ping'an Jing and ran away with their heads in their hands. panic.

Shi Yu's eyes were fixed, and he didn't care about it any more, and ran directly in the direction where the thundercloud came from.

Gu Huo Niao and the two shikigami naturally followed closely, and at this time, the street was already completely silent.People have taken refuge in houses that they think are safe enough.The civilians didn't even care about the supplies they depended on for survival. There were scattered pieces of cloth, food, etc. on the ground. Several luxuriously decorated ox carts were now leaning in dilapidated corners. The strong black bull seemed to be frightened and crouched. Lie on the ground, refusing to get up.When Shi Yu passed by, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a few shivering figures inside.

But this is just a glance, for Shi Yu, there are more important things to do at this time.

"Please wait a moment..." came a faint voice behind him.Slender and frail, apparently from a frail young girl.

Shi Yu frowned, stopped for a while, and turned his head to look over.

"Is it Master Onmyoji?"

Among the broken ox carts I saw before, a snow-white hand suddenly appeared on the edge of the door of the most expensive one, and then, a woman's face covered most of her face with a cypress fan appeared In front of Shi Yu.

In Heian-kyo, ox carts are the standard equipment for nobles to travel, and because of this, they can reflect the cruel class gap more than ordinary items.Judging from the bullock cart this woman was riding in, her family background is obviously extraordinary, but aristocratic women of this status usually have a lot of warrior guards guarding them when they go out, but I don’t know why she was the only one left behind. here.

"This Ji Jun, what's the matter?" Shi Yu asked a little coldly.

Thanks to the memories of her previous life, she was born with a lack of awe for these nobles.For ordinary people, they may be the controllers of the right to life and death, but for Shigure, the arrogance and complacency on the faces of those high-ranking nobles who occasionally meet seems a bit ridiculous.

This attitude of contempt for the rich and powerful is partly inherited from the precepts and deeds of King Ma Cang Ye.More than once, Shi Yu has seen this master who came to rescue the ghosts and ghosts, and the arrogant nobles were punished to the point of misery, and he had to thank the great onmyoji for his life-saving grace.

After watching several times at close range, she also fully realized that the so-called nobles are completely no different from ordinary people. Domination and manipulation.

Therefore, for her, when she had something important to do, if it weren't for the fact that it was a weak and helpless girl who stopped her, she would definitely pretend not to hear and leave.

Even now, her gaze only stayed on the half-covered girl's face for a moment, and she quickly turned her head back, staring intently at the black cloud that gradually began to shrink in scope.

Seeing that the vision was about to disappear, her heart became more and more heavy... If I read correctly, that direction seems to be the mansion of the Boya family?

Because Boya's father was the prince born by the current emperor, the mansion they lived in was naturally quite luxurious and occupied a huge area.It is precisely because of this that even Shigure, who has only been there once, can accurately identify where this strange thundercloud that appeared out of thin air originated.

"How bold! The one in front of you is Minister Zuo's beloved daughter, Ms. Zhang Zi!" At this moment, a maid who had been lying in the carriage trembling seemed to recover from her senses. Seeing Shi Yu's lack of respect, she was suddenly a little annoyed. Said, "You are an onmyoji, and you should do your best to protect Miss Zhangzi at this time! Do you still want to stay out of it?"

"Where is this?" Hearing the maid's domineering tone, Shiyu suddenly felt impatient. She didn't even want to turn her head, and walked forward while casually replying, "But at this moment, it seems that something important is happening in Heianjing. , compared to this, is the safety of this lady alone more important? ——I don’t think there is any danger here, so you just stay where you are and wait for the servants to find them.”

The maid was stunned by Shi Yu's calm tone. In the past few years as Fujiwara Akiko's personal maid, she had never met such a bold person who did not give Minister Zuo face.Suddenly he was at a loss for words, pointing at Shi Yu but didn't know what to say.

"Excuse me, are you Shigure-sama?" Akiko Fujiwara, who had been keeping a reserved silence since calling softly at the beginning, said softly at this moment.

Shi Yu was a little surprised and turned around, took a firm look at the woman, and nodded: "It's right here. Does Miss Zhangzi know me?"

"You are actually very famous in our circle." Fujiwara Akiko still covered the lower half of her face with the cypress fan, her slender and soft eyes were slightly bent, and when she was watching Shigure, the dark pupils Shining with tiny stars.

"Although I really want to chat with you, I don't want to disturb your mood." Unlike the maid, the woman's tone is too gentle, as comfortable as a spring breeze, "I heard that you are good at enchantment, can you Do you want to set up a barrier for the little girl? After all, the little girl is just a weak woman, even if she is really safe, I can't help but feel uneasy."

What a powerful woman.

Shi Yu glanced at her in admiration, and the only bit of dissatisfaction in his heart didn't feel dissipated.Originally, the onmyoji's duty was to protect human beings. Even if Akiko Fujiwara didn't say anything just now, Shigure would secretly leave behind some helpers to ensure their safety.

But this Akiko Fujiwara's words just now made Shiyu feel as if she couldn't do it without exerting all her strength. She was also protecting human beings, and meeting someone like Shoko Fujiwara would always make her more willing.

Although there are still many doubts in her heart, Fujiwara Akiko will not run away, she can save it for later.After Shigure arranged a barrier around Fujiwara Shoko's bullock cart, he hurriedly bid farewell to her and ran towards Boya's house.

"Miss Zhangzi, why do you have to be so kind to that reckless onmyoji? It's obviously just a commoner of humble blood."

After Shi Yu left, the maid asked uncontrollably.

"Don't say such things in the future." Fujiwara Akiko gave her a gentle look, but the seemingly harmless eyes made the maid immediately silence.

She was leaning on the side of the carriage, even though that slender and graceful figure had completely disappeared even with the fluttering hem of her clothes, she was still staring at the direction in which she was leaving.The translucent water-blue enchantment loomed in the air outside the carriage, and the surroundings were still as dead silent as before, but now, she felt at ease like never before.
