A total of fifteen well-armed light feet, and two samurai with the name of their own family, as well as five attendants, one maidservant, and Miss Tsukihime of the Kondo family, such a reliance in the eyes of the two samurai of the family cannot be described as exaggerated at all...... It's not even enough!

Although such a lineup is enough to deal with ordinary bandits, it is far from enough to meet evil monsters...... This is a time when youkai are full of monsters. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Miss Tsukihime, you've already entered Wase Village. A samurai from the family came to the carriage.

Zixing lifted the curtain and saw the tenant farmer who was working in the rice field next to him, but looked surprised at this time, so he ordered, "You call one of them over, I have something to ask." ”

"Yes!" the samurai nodded, and rode over to the side of the paddy field.

Soon after, the samurai of this family returned with a panicked but calm middle-aged tenant farmer, "Answer Miss Tsukihime's question well!"

"Yes...... Yes, my lord!" the tenant farmer did not even dare to raise his head, but knelt down in front of the carriage.

Purple Star had no waves about such a move...... As a real monster, and the young master of the arrogant greedy wolf clan, she is already a respected existence - she has seen too much of the kneeling of the clan, not to mention that she is just an ignorant human.

"Where is the Nagato family?" Zixing asked directly.

The tenant farmer hurriedly said: "It's just ahead, about three miles away......"

The tenant farmer said carefully, for fear that there would be something wrong, and he really couldn't figure out who would go to Master Nagato...... Looking at the reliance of the convoy, it is even more majestic than the old man's house.

Purple Star quickly nodded, waved for the samurai to take the person down, and then ordered the other samurai in front of him to head towards the Nagato house.

"It's your reward!"

The samurai threw down a little money in front of the tenant farmer, who naturally took it with both hands, and then watched the group slowly leave.

It's just that the tenant farmer looked at the rather heavy little money bag in his hand, and he couldn't be happy when he should have been happy. He shook his head, threw the money bag into the basket, and placed it next to the paddy field, not afraid that someone would take it quietly.

For the people of Wase Village, more wealth is not as good as the abundance of three meals a day - after all, they cannot leave the village.

And in the village, it is already self-sufficient...... There is nothing to crave for.

......

The Nagato family, the mansion.

When Kondo's motorvoy stopped in front of the door, he had already seen Master Nagato and a group of other people standing in front of the door...... Some of the subordinates even had a hint of hurry, wanting to come to such a greet, without preparation.

"You're the head of the Nagato family?"

The samurai of the Kondo family took a step forward and asked in a domineering manner.

Lord Nagato nodded respectfully, and said quickly, "I didn't know that Miss Tsukihime was coming." It was only when the subordinates saw the family crest of the Kondo family from afar and came to say goodbye, so they hurriedly led the clan to greet them. ”

However, it was possible to gather so many people in a very short period of time and go out to greet them, although it did not look neat, but it was already passable. The samurai of the Kondo family probably knew this, so he didn't blame him too much, but hummed haughtily, and then ordered, "Miss Tsukihime plans to stay here for a few days, you go and prepare." ”

Master Nagato naturally didn't dare to disobey, so he quickly ordered his subordinates to clean up the last room - he had to do so, because the Kondo family owned the entire Mt. Famen, and there were mining towns near it. The place near Wase Village, which the Nagato family acquired, was also obtained by the ancestors from the Kondo family's reward.

Speaking of which, the surname Nagato was also given by the Kondo family - therefore, how dare the Nagato family say a word about the Kondo family's request for Miss Tsukihime?

It's just that...... Why did this high-flying princess Tsukihime suddenly come to such a poor country?

Lord Nagato frowned deeply at this...... He subconsciously thought of Saburo Nagato, could it be because of Saburo's matter...... Fortunately, after getting the advice of his subordinates, he hurriedly asked Saburo Nagato to avoid it for the time being, so he was not here.

Saburo Nagato claimed that he was wounded on the battlefield, so he was ordered by his commander to go home to recuperate, and he was a samurai who made great achievements...... But how can Saburo Nagato's words be hidden from the old man Nagato who watched him grow up?

Everything is nothing but a lie about Saburo Nagato, a deserter on the battlefield.

But even though he already knew all this, in order to maintain the reputation of the Nagato clan, Lord Nagato had to hide his identity as a deserter for him.

As the head of the Nagato family, Lord Nagato is almost the only person who is qualified to lead someone for the princess of the Kondo family - but despite this, Lord Nagato still did not dare to walk side by side with Kondo Tsukihime, but slightly slower by half a step...... In this era, the hierarchy is incomparably strict, and he does not dare to go beyond half a step...... Even if it's just a woman in front of her.

"I wonder why Miss Tsukihime came in person?" asked Master Nagato cautiously.

Kondo Tsukihime...... Zixing was just looking at the courtyard outside the cloister, and seemed unwilling to answer Master Nagato's question. At this time, Zixing suddenly stopped and said indifferently, "Who is that?"

In the courtyard, a little girl was squatting by the pond, and next to the little girl, there was a maid. When Master Nagato saw it, he hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Miss Hui Yueji, that's a crane, is it...... She is the daughter of Saburo. ”

"Tsuruko...... Nagato Tsuruko?" Purple Star whispered the name.

"It's Tsuruko Nagato, Miss Tsukihime. Master Nagato hurriedly responded...... Although he didn't know why the princess of the Kondo family asked such a question, he couldn't ignore the words of the Kondo princess.

I heard that the head of the Kondo family is interested in choosing a husband for this Tsukihime lady...... Of course, it is impossible for this husband to get everything from the Kondo family, but their children have this qualification!

So if ......

"Crane!"

At this time, Master Nagato suddenly shouted, and then beckoned, as if he wanted the crane to come over, but he didn't expect that the little girl was hiding behind the maid, and only dared to poke out half of her head, looking timidly.

Master Nagato frowned, and saw that Miss Yuehime's expression was flat, and there seemed to be nothing displeased, so he hurriedly said: "Miss Yuehime forgive her sins, Tsuruko is still young and doesn't know how to be polite, I will definitely discipline her well in the future." However, I can assure you that Tsuruko must not be because she doesn't like Miss Tsukihime, she's just a little afraid of strangers. This child has no mother since he was a child, and he has not been well cared for, so his personality is ......"

Zixing said indifferently, "Is she really just afraid of my strangers?"

Lord Nagato met the gaze of this Tsukihime, who was rumored to be weak, but this gaze was a little more fierce than the head of the Kondo family he saw when he was young...... Could it be that the rumors are wrong?

Zixing's words made Lord Nagato feel a sense of being overwhelmed, and Lord Nagato's eyes quickly turned, and a subordinate from the Nagato family came in front of him, so he hurriedly said: "Miss Yueji, the room has been cleaned up, please come with me." ”

"Hmm. Zixing waved his sleeves and walked in front.

Lord Nagato secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he waved his hand at the maid in the courtyard, asking the maid to take it away with Nagato Tsuruko as soon as possible.

At this time, Master Nagato also called another subordinate and whispered: "Hurry up and let Shinji come over! Remember to let him dress neatly and don't be embarrassed!"

After giving the order, he hurriedly chased after him...... As for Nagato Saburo, since he greeted him, he asked Master Nagato to once again ask his subordinates to tell him that it was best not to show up.

Not many people know about Saburo Nagato as a deserter, and in an era when this kind of consultation is not developed, as long as the news is blocked well, it may be able to keep it hidden, but after all, it is a member of the Kondo family, and I am afraid that the news will leak out.

"This Miss Tsukihime...... It's hard to deal with!"

Thinking back to Kondo Tsukihime's gaze just now, Lord Nagato couldn't help but look a little solemn, thinking about the possibilities of this princess's arrival, and he was very irritable.

Soon after, Purple Star had settled down.

At this time, Master Nagato was kneeling in front of Zixing, lowering his gaze, quietly listening to the instructions of the big man. Zixing asked indifferently: "Lord Nagato, I wonder if there are people from other villages in Wase Village recently?"

"People from other villages?" Lord Nagato raised his head and asked cautiously, "I wonder why Miss Tsukihime asked this?"

"You just have to answer me. ”

Master Nagato said slowly, "As far as I know, no. Wase Village is almost at the end of Mt. Famen, and even the merchants rarely come back. ”

"Are you sure?" asked Zixing as he looked at Master Nagato again.

It's the same look again...... This gaze is like looking down on the clouds. Master Nagato didn't know why his heart shook slightly, so he lowered his head and said, "Maybe there is or not...... After all, I can't keep an eye on the way into the village. But don't worry, Miss Tsukihime, I'll immediately order someone to go to the village and ask ...... I wonder if Miss Tsukihime is looking for someone?"

"If someone from another village arrives in the next few days, or if there are already people from another village in the village, bring them to me. Zixing was too lazy to say, so he directly ordered it.

"Yes!" Lord Nagato hurriedly nodded in agreement.

At this time, a servant pushed open the door, knelt all the way to the ear of Lord Nagato, and whispered a few words, and Lord Nagato said with a straight face: "Miss Yuehime, it's a dog." He's out there, wanting to see you. ”

"No need. Zixing waved his hand: "I'm tired and want to rest, don't let senseless people disturb me." ”

"This ......," Lord Nagato suddenly hesitated.

But the samurai of the Kondo family said in a deep voice at this time: "Nagato! Didn't you hear Tsukihime-sama's orders?

"Yes......"

Master Nagato could only leave respectfully, and he could not resist the huge power of the Kondo family at all. Outside the door, Shinji Nagato frowned, and when he was about to ask, Master Nagato scolded him: "Get back for me!"

Shinji Nagato seemed to want to say something, but under the terrifying gaze of Lord Nagato, he finally clenched his fists.

He did not dare to go with his father, so he could only leave this side of the courtyard alone, from the other side...... But after only two steps, he saw his uncle, Saburo Nagato.

"Uncle, why are you here?" asked Shinji Nagato, puzzled...... He had heard some news from his subordinates, and it seemed that his father had told the uncle not to show up for the time being.

"It's ugly, isn't it?" Saburo Nagato had a gloating expression on his face at this time.

"Uncle Saburo, what the hell are you trying to say?" Shinji Nagato frowned...... He didn't like this uncle very much, especially after he returned from the battlefield.

Saburo Nagato shook his head: "I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about your father." When I came out of Miss Kondo's place just now, my face must have been ugly. ”

"Uncle Saburo, I don't think we should discuss father here. Shinji Nagato still frowned: "You shouldn't talk about the head of the Nagato family, it's a crime of disrespect!" Also, Uncle Saburo, you're full of alcohol, so let's go back and rest." ”

At this time, Nagato Saburo, with a face full of fibrous roots, leaned against the wall, he was still holding a wine jug in his hand, and his clothes were open, like those wanderers lingering in the flower street and willow lane.

Saburo Nagato took a sip of the bottle, squinted as if he was enjoying it, and then said with a strange smile: "Here, my eldest brother is the sky, and he has the absolute right to speak, and the entire Nagato family has no one to disobey him." However, he was still too young this day. When the small sky touches the big sky, it will be ...... That's all there is to it. Shinji, see clearly, your father is not as strong and perfect as you imagined. ”

"Uncle Saburo, you're really drunk!" Shinji Nagato's tone was a little heavier.

"Really?" Saburo Nagato continued to chuckle, but staggered along, "Perhaps...... Living here, sometimes it's better to be a little confused. It's too sober, but ......"

On the contrary, what was said later, Shinji Nagato couldn't hear it...... Maybe Saburo Nagato has something to say that he hasn't finished speaking.

Seeing Saburo Nagato finally disappear at the end of the corridor, Shinji Nagato subconsciously recalled his father's angry expression just now.

Is it too small......

Shinji Nagato secretly wandered, but suddenly felt that his clothes were pulled by something, and when he looked back, he found that it was Nagato Tsuruko.

The little girl only reached the height of his waist, and at this time the little hand pulled his sleeve, "Play with me......"

"Get out of here!" Shinji Nagato waved his hand away from Tsuruko's hand.

Nagato Tsuruko screamed in pain, and a trace of mist began to appear in his frightened eyes, and Shinji Nagato was irritable, and kicked Nagato Tsuruko to the ground with his foot, and Nagato Tsuruko rolled off the floor and rolled down into the courtyard outside the corridor.

"Ah...... Miss Tsuruko!"

The maid hurriedly ran over in horror and helped Nagato Tsuruko who was kicked to the ground, only to see Nagato Tsuruko's forehead smearing bright red...... It was a wound caused by his forehead hitting the gravel when he hit the ground.

"Second Young Master Shen, Miss Tsuruko is still young, and she collided with you......" The maid hugged Nagato Tsuruko and looked at the heir of the Nagato family in a trembling voice.

"Hmph!" Shinji Nagato said coldly: "Woman, don't get out of here!

With that, Shinji Nagato threw away his sleeves.

"Miss Tsuruko, are you alright? Quick, I'll take you back to bandage it!" The maid put Nagato Tsuruko down, arranged Nagato Tsuruko's clothes in a panic, and kept saying sadly: "Really, how can I do this to you...... Really...... Really, does it hurt?"

"Ah Xiu, play with me. ”

Blood fell from Nagato's forehead, down between her eyebrows, and slashed across the bridge of her nose, like veins of water that curled on the map.

Maid...... Ah Xiu looked at it, and as soon as her nose was sore, she hugged Nagato Crane tightly, and choked up: "Okay, Ah Xiu will play with Miss Hezi." ”

......

......

Zixing was meditating in the room, but at this time, a samurai pushed open the door, knelt in the corridor outside the door, and said with a solemn expression: "Tsukihime-sama, we found a peep outside!"

Zixing slowly opened his eyes, his brows furrowed slightly, "Peep, is it from the Nagato family?"

The samurai hurriedly said: "No, this person calls himself Sasaki Kojiro......"
