I am the Envoy of the Winter

In order to convey this will to the general, the opponent even sacrificed his life in exchange for a chance.

"I already know."

It has been a long time since such a duel before the imperial court happened.

So this matter has long been spread throughout the streets and alleys of Inaozuma City.

It is impossible for her not to know.

"So what are you going to do? Accept?"

"Of course I have to accept it."

In fact, it doesn't matter whether she agrees with the duel in front of the imperial court.

The most important thing is the general's will.

If the general agreed to this duel, then she had no reason to refuse at all.

She has already seen the boy who issued an eye-hunting order to her.

That shy big boy was surrounded by people in Hanamizaka.

Is it based on pity?Or respect?

In short, the merchants of Hanamizaka are even willing to waive all fees for him, so that he can suffer in Hanamizaka tonight.

It's just that the boy still stubbornly put the corresponding Mora under the bottom of the bowl.

People who are dying, it is useless to leave this thing behind.

It's better to leave it to those who need help.

"Looking forward to your performance tomorrow."

"..."

After watching Bai Luo leave, Jiutiao Shaluo showed a thoughtful look.

The deeds of fools are really unpredictable.

Forget it, as long as he doesn't cause trouble during the Dao Wife period, we should follow the order of the Patriarch and try not to trouble him.

......

"My lord, that boy has been visiting Hanamizaka, and there is no other suspicious behavior."

"Well, continue to monitor until he officially starts the duel in front of the imperial court."

"Yes!"

The fool's subordinates left, and Bai Luo also walked to the window.

The founder of Inazuma Castle was very discerning, and the locations of the castle tower and Tianling Temple were carefully established.

Not to mention the castle tower.

The location of the Tianling Temple can also perfectly overlook the entire Inazuma Castle.

Unlike the Outlying Islands, even though this city was also affected by the Eye Hunting Order, it didn't seem to be so desolate.

The bustling town street and Hanamizaka where people come and go.

As long as you have good eyesight, you can see every corner of Inazuma Castle here.

The night cherry blossoms and the blue tiles are layered on top of each other, but they can't cover the uproar of people's voices.

But these are not what Bai Luo cares about.

What he cares most about is the opportunity for the young man to activate his career of drawing swords.

His rubbish system didn't give any hints except for putting a bright word "target" on the opponent's head.

Need to kill him?Or do you need to save him in the imperial duel the next day?

Bai Luo didn't know, and also didn't dare to act rashly.

After launching the imperial duel, he has been monitored by the shogunate.

If Bai Luo asked fools to do something, they would never be able to hide it from them.

It will be troublesome to explain then.

It seems that they can only wait quietly for the imperial duel to begin.

But before that... some preparations are required.

......

When a traveler walks outside, he must always have some effort to get close to him.

Or the proud swordsmanship, or the three-inch eloquence.

Maplebara Manyo has an ability that no one else possesses - listening to the wind and watching the clouds.

For him, nature is never silent, it always expresses its mood in a unique language.

The sound of the wind stopped suddenly, and everything was silent, which was the calm before the sky wept.

The clear spring jumps up suddenly, which is a sign of the wrath of the earthquake.

The sudden black cloud overwhelms the environment, which is a warning of a storm.

It is the rainy season at this time, and the mountain road has become a little muddy.

Fengbara Wanye searched for a long time, and finally found a foothold at the bottom of a cliff.

Shaking off the fallen leaves on the bamboo hat and brushing off the dust on the ground, he sat on the ground and took out the rice ball he was carrying from the package he carried with him.

After the rice balls are cold, the taste is a bit unsatisfactory.

But the advantage is that he can satisfy his hunger, so he has no dislike.

Looking at the gloomy sky, Fengbara Manyo thought of his friend again.

The two of them originally met by chance, but they can cherish each other, which shows that they have a deep fate.

Although we are temporarily separated due to some trivial matters, we may meet again unexpectedly.

Speaking of which, if he was by his side at this time, he would definitely stop his behavior.

Cold rice balls are not good for the body.

"Hahahahahahaha! That's natural! My god's eye! You must take it back yourself!"

Before he could eat the rice ball in his mouth, he heard a slightly noisy laugh in the wind.

He didn't speak, but squeezed his body down the cliff again.

In this barren mountain, no matter what kind of people you meet, you must be careful and subtle.

Before, because he was giving some fruits to a passing woodcutter, he was discovered by the other party. In the end, he was chased by the soldiers of the shogunate for a long time before he managed to escape.

The most important thing is... Sometimes it is not certain whether the person you encounter is a human being or not.

But what the other party said next made him stunned for a moment.

"Boss, have you heard? Someone launched an imperial duel against that nine tengu."

"Huh? There is actually someone... ahem, of course I heard about it! But I have to say that I have the courage to challenge that nine tengu. If he can come out alive, I will try to invite him to join us Ararataki faction."

The ice-cold rice ball rolled down the cliff, and Manyo's hand that was holding the knife began to tremble.

It's him!

Even though these people who called themselves the Ararataki faction did not mention the surname of the person who initiated the imperial duel, he could be sure that it was definitely his friend.

He did not forget, when the two parted, his friend asked him.

"If one day, Dao's wife's land is eroded by disasters, and the people are no longer watched by the gods, what will you choose, and what will you do?"

His answer was simple.

"I should choose to live incognito."

It was also this question and answer that became an opportunity for the two to say goodbye.

A friend told him that he was going to do something big.

A major event that is enough to cause a sensation in the whole rice wife.

Now it seems......

He actually chose to face that Wuxiang knife!

A gust of wind blew past, and there was no shadow of Maplebara Manyo under the mountain wall.

There are only some grains of rice balls left, and the happy cheers of someone picking up the rice balls in the wind.

Chapter 31 Welcome to the General

The location of the duel in front of the imperial court was set at the martial arts arena of the castle tower.

Contrary to Bai Luo's expectations, this duel only allowed a small number of high-ranking Daozuma to attend, and did not allow civilians to join in the fun.

This also made Bai Luo, who originally wanted to mess around with things, had no choice but to give up this idea.

However, General Raiden will also attend in person.

Speaking of which, even though Bai Luo was Dao's wife who came here as an envoy from the end of winter, he had never met General Lei Dian so far.

He didn't want to see each other for one reason, and General Raiden in the castle tower didn't seem to have this idea either.

She directly handed over the reception task to her subordinate San Fengxing.

It stands to reason that the most suitable person to receive envoys is the person of the society, but the nine filial piety practiced by Tianling volunteered to take over this task.

The main reason is that social practice has not been infiltrated by fools, and I am afraid that there will be some mistakes.

As the envoy of fools, Bai Luo also received an invitation from Dao's wife.

He said that he was invited to watch Inazuma's largest duel, but in fact he just wanted to show him Inazuma's strength.

But Bai Luo rejected him because he was unwell.

If he wanted to do something, he naturally couldn't appear on the scene directly, otherwise it would not be the thing that was done, but him.

Just in case, he also specially prepared a traditional costume of Dao wife and a cat face mask bought from the street.

When he is not attacking, he can rely on his skills to hide his body, but in this case...no one can be sure what will happen.

What if General Thunder could see through his invisibility?

It is still necessary to make adequate preparations.

The imperial duel started at noon, but the boy arrived in front of the castle tower before dawn.

He was sitting on the steps next to the martial arts arena, playing with his cat while eating a rice ball that had cooled down.

The shogunate officers and soldiers who were preparing for the imperial duel also noticed him, perhaps because of his special status, they didn't drive him away.

"Brother, the imperial duel only starts at noon, are you too impatient?"

Banner Masako Shimata, who was in charge of on-site security work, brought a bowl of hot tea and handed it to him.

"In the next life, this may be the only chance to enter the Tianshou Pavilion. Of course, you have to take a closer look."

After taking the other party's tea, the boy thanked him and said in a half-joking tone.

"I have been guarding the Tianshou Pavilion for decades. To say something rebellious... In fact, it is just like that."

Sitting next to the young man, Masako Shima sighed as he looked at the castle tower that he had guarded all his life.

As the most honorable place in the entire Inazuma, the Tianshou Pavilion only covers an area, which is almost catching up with the entire market area of ​​Inazuma.

In other words, half of Inazuma Castle is occupied by the castle tower.

The tiles with thunder pattern and the golden sculpture on the roof make the castle tower a little bit more chilling than its glory.

This is the place that the Daozu people yearn for the most, and it is also the place that everyone fears.

"I know why you initiated the imperial duel, but young man, your thinking is still a bit extreme."

"Uncle, you seem to have misunderstood. The purpose of my initiating the imperial duel is actually to see the general's Wuxiang's knife."

Regarding why he initiated the imperial duel, in fact, several versions have been circulated in just one night.
