Early the next morning, while standing outside the main hall of the Gara Imperial Palace, Ryuzumi was considering whether to bring the six Fu Funeral Gods in with him to meet Fujiwara Hidehiro, the de facto ruler of Oshu, when he suddenly noticed that the expressions of Ichijo Ichijo and Nagaso Yatoru who were standing aside were slightly ...... Subtle. 《

Willow Springs: ???

Although the attendant who had gone to inform him might be back soon, she thought it would be better to ask.

"Ichi-kun?" she approached the two of them and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Nagaso Mitoru looked at the female inquisitor as if he was a little overwhelmed, and then at Ichijo, then grabbed his hair and let out an embarrassed laugh.

"Oh, that's—" He squeezed out a few words in embarrassment.

"Ahem, I was thinking about investigating early in the morning, but I heard something strange......" he stammered and explained as if he couldn't make sense, and finally couldn't say any more, and fixed his eyes on Ichijo's face as if asking for help.

"Anyway, in short, I've heard that too! I'll ask you to explain it to you, I'm sure I'll be able to say it better than my fake!"

Hearing such a prevarication, and receiving the burning gaze of the female judge with interest on her face, I couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"What is that to say......" he muttered, as if to organize the words.

"Regarding the identity of several of us in this life, this morning Nagaso Yajun and I also went to investigate a little. As a result, I was surprised to hear the name......"

The level of interest in his eyes as he watched the female inquisitor suddenly rise to another level, and the wry smile on his face became even more obvious.

“…… No, probably not as you might think, ahem......"

Liu Quan patiently waited for him to complete his mental construction (?) and reveal the answer to her, but before he could organize the language, the answer appeared in front of her at a surprising speed.

The attendant who had gone in earlier to report reappeared at the door of the main hall, smiling at her with both respectful and enthusiastic smiles.

"Izumi Gomae, Lord Gokan, please enter. He said.

Liu Quan hesitated slightly, and glanced back at the six people standing here behind her, looking very swaggering, but she was not at ease about leaving them in the Fujiquan Pavilion, so she had to bring them together.

The waiter reacted quickly, and immediately put a more enthusiastic smile on his face.

"Ah, those adults are the 'six flowers' who serve you, aren't they? ”

Liu Quan: "...... 'Six Flowers'?!"

She subconsciously repeated this fresh term, and then saw a slightly embarrassed smile on Yizhen's face, and nodded imperceptibly at her, indicating "That's right, that's the word."

Liu Quan: "......"

What kind of fandom is this, and he actually gives Izumi Gozen, a cannon fodder girl, this kind of luxury standard? Genji's Miko has Yachi, so Genji's noble daughter has six flowers? Where did the idea for this name come from, is it a six-petal snowflake or a six-petal large array or a six-flower sword (fog!)——?!

There was a wave of complaints in her heart, but now she could only bow her head slightly and say to the waiter: "...... Precisely. ”

After finishing speaking, she changed her mind and asked again: "Last time the Son of God came to visit Xiuheng Palace, did Yaye also enter the hall with him?"

The waiter heard the song and knew what it meant, and replied, "That's right." …… However, among the eight leaves of Miko-sama, there are several old acquaintances of the Fujiwara clan, such as the Kurou Palace, which the Lord of the Imperial Pavilion regards as a son and nephew...... That's why I came in to meet you last time. This time, uh......"

Liu Quan nodded understandingly, "In other words, Xiuheng Hall only let me go in alone, right?" ”

The waiter nodded slightly, and said with a smile on his face, "These six adults, please follow you and rest over there for a while—" He turned sideways and gestured in the direction of the other end of the hallway.

Liu Quan subconsciously glanced at the Three Days Moon Sect again, and quickly made a decision.

"Well, let's wait for me for a while. Three days and months, you have to work during this period. ”

The Three Days Moon Sect smiled slightly.

"Ahahahaha, don't worry, master. ”

Liu Quan vaguely felt a little ...... It was as if something was going to happen, but now she had to go alone to meet the de facto master of Oshu.

This feeling was even stronger when she saw Fujiwara Hidehiro in the empty main hall.

Fujiwara Hidehiro, who looked majestic and angry, but laughed heroically as soon as he opened his mouth, greeted her with great enthusiasm.

"Hahahaha, I heard that Taiheng went to the Fujisenkan last night......" As soon as the old and refined Lord of Oshu opened his mouth, he went straight to the death hole of "Izumi Gozen".

"Hopefully he didn't do anything to really make you angry. ”

Liu Quan: "......"

This sentence is full of traps, and it is simply a forced win.

She certainly can't answer "what he did makes me angry" - suing his son in front of his father has a low success rate at any given time, especially if she comes from a family that is hostile to father and son.

However, if she had replied, "Of course he didn't do anything to make me angry," then the unhappy parting between her and Fujiwara Yasuhiro at Fujisenkan last night would have been so lightly exposed, and it would be inconvenient for her to pursue it in the future, right?

Liu Quan thought for a moment, and finally chose an ambiguous statement.

“…… Perhaps Taehyung-sama has heard some false rumors...... I was troubled by the words he was angry about, but I didn't understand it......"

Fujiwara Hidehiro laughed.

"Hmm, 'Six Flowers'—huh?"

Willow Springs Inner OS: ...... Why doesn't this real old man play his cards according to common sense?

Xiuhengdian smiled...... That's just someone else's name for convenience, so-"

She reluctantly got one line right, but the next moment Fujiwara Hidehiro interrupted her.

"So, even if there is 'Six Flowers', it doesn't mean that you have changed your mind about my son, does it?"

The face that was always smiling from the beginning of the meeting has now slowly converged into a bold smile that is enough to paralyze all opponents. Fujiwara Hidehiro's angry face, the eyes that seemed to be hidden between the unkempt beard and hair, were now as sharp and deep as a falcon, staring at her face tightly, not letting go of every subtle change in her expression.

Willow Springs: !!

This is...... A precursor to finally going to tell her about business?

She mustered up 100,000 energy and attention, and slowly showed a slightly melancholy expression on her face, and a faint smile disappeared before the corners of her lips took shape.

"It seems pointless to speak of that illusory admiration now—" she said in a tone that seemed to be touched by something in her heart, and therefore bordered on a sigh, and then as if she had been shocked that such an answer was inappropriate, and immediately straightened up.

"In front of you, I dare not lie. ”

She sighed.

"No matter what incredible happens, my heart to help Taeheng will not change. ”

She frowned slightly.

"Even if there is a Son of God, it will be the same. ”

Fujiwara Hidehiro pondered for a moment, and suddenly laughed heroically again.

Liu Quan: "......"

I know, I know, you must be very cheerful to listen to my shameful play lines of confessing to your son in public, right?

In her ugly expression, Fujiwara Hidehiro finally ended his heroic smile, his eyes swept over her shoulder, and he looked at the sky outside the hall.

"Ah, is it about to change......" he said with a mutter.

Liu Quan reflexively turned his head and glanced in the direction of his gaze, but saw a clear blue sky, with white clouds floating in the sky—it couldn't have been clearer.

Willow Springs Inner OS: ...... Excuse me, but aren't we looking at the same world and the same sky——?!

She simply looked at Fujiwara Hidehiro with a question mark on her face.

For this kind of superior, it is much better to have a "hostile eyeliner" whose mind is fully exposed than a person who is deep in mind and does things without leakage.

Fujiwara Hidehiro was really satisfied with her stupid expression with a little doubt.

"The old man heard that Genji's army has arrived in Hiraizumi in the past two days—" He said slowly, his sharp gaze resting on Yanagiquan's face, as if observing her.

Genji's army is ......?Isn't that one of the eight leaves of the White Dragon Miko, Kajiwara Keitoki?

Liu Quan quickly found the person corresponding to this title in his heart, his eyes flickered slightly, and he replied, "But he didn't come to me. Why don't you come to see me when you get to Hiraizumi, hmph, that's really rude. ”

"Oh......?" asked Fujiwara Hidehiro with interest, "Is it true that Gunjo is such a man who does not know how to do things?" ”

Willow Springs Inner OS: ...... Here, this is where the scene with me suddenly comes in today.

She simply snorted, as if she was very dissatisfied with Kajiwara.

"It's just a martial artist.,It's quite rude to act.,Yaba, who is the son of God, actually betrayed the son of God......" she smiled sarcastically, "That Lord Miko is really unlucky.,There is such a half-hearted Yaba.。 I don't have the ability to control my subordinates' loyalty to myself, and in my opinion, he's just an incompetent person - what is it about such a person that makes Lord Taehyung feel worthy of attention, it's really puzzling~"

The small wavy line at the end of her words was almost a knife, and Fujiwara Hidehiro didn't get angry when he heard it, but laughed again.

"Hehehehehehe...... Is it. ”

He didn't comment on Ryuzumi's rude and bad comments on the White Dragon Miko, but instead talked about Kajiwara Keitoki.

"As far as the old man knows, Genji's army has been in Hiraizumi for several days...... He also met the old man and Taiheng respectively. Hasn't he sent you a message or asked for a meeting in the past few days? ”

Liu Quan sneered.

"Really, if you don't take me seriously, it's not the word 'rude' that can describe it. In that case, you don't need to take care of me, if such a person is rude to the point where he must be punished, you can do it. ”

Fujiwara Hidehiro didn't laugh this time.

"Old man, of course he will do it. But not now. He said.

Liu Quan: ?

His gaze fell on Liu Quan's face again, and this time, after a slight pause, he seemed to have made up some kind of determination.

"Old man, I'm probably going to die. He said.

Liu Quan: ?!

What are you kidding, who has ever seen a dying man who was here a second ago full of anger hahahaha, laughing loudly and shaking the house?!

But if this sentence is to test her "eyeliner sent by Kamakuraden", it would be too child's play...... Is this looking down on her IQ?!

Liu Quan couldn't help but twitch his facial features, and responded, "This ...... Absolutely impossible......"

Perhaps because she had no intention of hiding her emotions, Fujiwara Hidehiro nodded as if with a slight approving impression and said, "Actually, the old man is terminally ill and has little ...... to come."

Willow Springs Inner OS: ...... Uncle, aren't you really laughing at my IQ...... What do you look like you're terminally ill about?

Fujiwara Hidehiro observed her expression and said suddenly:

"It's okay if you don't believe it. However, the old man really doesn't have much time......"

He paused, then threw the fat bait at the "Izumi Gozen" in front of him.

"Of course, the old man is happy to see you and Taiheng complete the marriage contract that the old man made with Kamakuraden...... However, since Taiheng is so stubborn, the old man is also very embarrassed——"

Liu Quan frowned slightly as he spoke.

"Xiuheng Palace! You say that, is it ......?"

She looked disappointed and anxious, her eyes flickering several times, and finally she spoke, her voice trembling slightly.

"I'm willing to do anything for this...... Isn't that okay? Can't you defeat that Miko? Since she can destroy the Hei family, then she will also do it to Heiizumi—"

Fujiwara Hidehiro's face was hidden in that tangled beard. But his voice had completely regained the calm and solemnity of the superior.

"It doesn't matter. Since you have made up your mind, the old man will help you fulfill your wish. ”

Liu Quan had just had time to make a look of surprise when he heard Fujiwara Hidehiro say something amazing.

"Even if Tae Heng has other ideas...... However, the old man's deathbed request, he will definitely fulfill it. ”

Liu Quan: ?!

As if he wasn't talking about his own life and death, Fujiwara Hidehiro let out a laugh. However, those old eyes bloomed with a fierce light, staring at her.

"But...... Here in Pingquan, there are probably no people who dare to touch the old man. ”

"I have to wait for the old man to die slowly on his own...... It's not impossible. However, the old man didn't feel that he had so much time to wait slowly. ”

Liu Quan: "...... How could it be...... Why ......"

Fujiwara Hidehiro sighed.

"I'll tell you the truth. …… The military commissioner came here to ask Oshu to hand over Kuro and his party. That is, the Son of God is among them. ”

Liu Quan cooperated with a shocked expression.

Fujiwara Hidehiro laughed.

"Hehehe...... What's so surprising about that, little girl, you still don't know what to do to be real, right?"

Liu Quan: "......"

She was so left speechless by this unconventional old man. However, in front of such a person, maybe it would be better for her to be a little more understandable.

"So, what do you need me to do?" she asked bluntly, "Do you want me to go and beg Kamakura Hall to leave at least Miko......?"

"Oh?" Fujiwara Hidehiro said in surprise, "Looks like you understand that Kuro can't survive, right?"

Liu Quan: "......"

She was speechless for a second before she reluctantly replied, "The Kurou Hall is the current henchman of the Kamakura Palace...... Even I know this kind of thing. At least, though, the Son of God isn't that much of a threat—"

"No," said Fujiwara Hidehiro, "Miko is on Kuro's side. Therefore, if they were handed over, it would be difficult for any of them to live. But if you don't pay it, the crisis in Hiraizumi will come immediately. ”

Liu Quan: "......"

She really didn't know what to say.

Although Izumi Gozen should hate the White Dragon Divine Son very much as a rival in love, she is not so vicious as to hope that her rival in love will die. But to say that she generously agreed to seek the source of Yorichao for the sake of the Divine Son and the Eight Leaves, it doesn't seem to be so a virgin......

Seeing her look of embarrassment, Fujiwara Hidehiro finally threw out his ultimate move.

"If the Son of God dies, anyone will regret it and forget it...... The old man is like this, and Taiheng is probably like this. He said suggestively.

Liu Quan cooperated with a shocked look, his eyes widened, and then his expression darkened, and he muttered, "Then, what should I do......?"

Fujiwara Hidehiro walked slowly in front of her with his hands behind his back, and suddenly lowered his voice.

"Let someone else assassinate the old man, and then you will go out of your way to save the old man...... In this way, it is enough to prove your loyalty and heart. This trick, although old, will definitely work. ”

Willow Springs: !!

Looking at her look of surprise and almost staring out of her eyes, Fujiwara Hidehiro smiled happily.

"The old man won't hide it from you. …… Originally, the old man wanted Kajiwara Keiti to take on the role of this assassin. ”

He smiled slowly, calculatedly, and suddenly winked slyly at Willow Spring.

"Because the boy is so hateful, stubborn and inflexible, and betrayed his former companion...... Frame him a little and drive him back to Kamakura, and because he did such a thing in Hiraizumi, Kamakura shouldn't have raised the position of returning Miko and Kuro again for the time being, it's really killing two birds with one stone......"

Liu Quan couldn't help but twitch a few more times with his expression.

Trick death, cheat injury, design the enemy and design yourself, casually sell your son to marry the enemy, in exchange for maybe only a few months of respite...... Are you all so good at playing?

As if he didn't bother to pay attention to her inner complaints, Fujiwara Hideheng's voice changed.

"However, that kid also has a cunning side...... It's not that easy to design. However, if no one is to do this, the matter will not succeed. ”

The old and cloudy eyes were shining brightly at this moment, forcing him to look at the young woman in front of him.

"Old man, I also have some selfishness. If I want to die so desperately, I'll have to let Kamakuraden come back to bother me a little later......"

He sighed and said with a sigh as if he was unusually kind and helpless.

"So, come and be the one of the wicked man...... After thinking about it, only people from Kamakura were the most suitable. ”

He looked at the speechless lady from Kamakura's side as if persuasively.

"And, if you can do that, Taiheng will definitely be able to appreciate your painstaking efforts - after all, isn't it enough to show your sincerity that you are willing to sacrifice the arm that Kamakura Hall gave you for him?"

Liu Quan had some kind of ominous premonition in his heart.

"Sacrifice...... Arms? do you mean—"

Fujiwara Hidehiro laughed and said bluntly without hesitation:

"This assassin of the old man is among your 'six flowers'. ”

Liu Quan: ?!

Fujiwara Hideheng paused for a moment, and actually pointed out his favorite candidate.

"According to the old man, let the beautiful man surnamed 'Sanjo' take on this task. ”

Liu Quan: "...... What?!"

The author has something to say: July 14:

I originally wanted to divide it into two chapters, but after thinking about it, I forgot it......

Well, this bearded old man is playing a big game of chess [no

The pot that assassinated Fujiwara Hidehiro in the original work was carried by Taiheng himself.
