Before they had time to think about it, they all hurriedly bowed their bodies almost at the same time, and saluted in the direction of the voice.

As the words came, the Shogun-sama, Ashikaga Yoshiteru, strode in. As he passed by Willow Spring, his steps stopped.

"Fangcai, is that what Mitai is talking to her?" he asked.

Nobuko Konoe didn't seem to know what to say for a while, so she nodded indiscriminately.

But the famous swordsman of history, as if he was very interested in listening to the gossip between the women tonight, strode into the house again, sat down at the top of the room, and when all the women in the room had finished saluting him, he asked again with interest: "Is this the new maid who has recently arrived?"

Now that he was named, Liu Quan couldn't help but speak up. She turned her entire body in the direction of Ashikaga Yoshiteru, lowered her body again, and whispered, "Slave Ayuki, meet Lord Gongfang." ”

Ashikaga Yoshiteru seemed to be looking at her, and after a few seconds he replied, "Midai was talking to you just now? What's the matter, and you still need Midai to show her identity as the daughter of the minister of Sekihaku?"

…… Send a proposition!

Liu Quan secretly complained. Obviously, it was Mrs. Nobuko's whim—probably because she couldn't bear to let her and the "lovers who had deep feelings but were not recognized" be ruined in Nijo Castle, so she told them to leave quickly, and not to accompany the general to the funeral—but now the general is back so soon! I don't know how much he heard, how to answer?

Liu Quan calmed down and decided to test it.

“…… It's because Lord Godai heard about the slave maid, so he feels pity......" she replied slowly.

"Lord Midai, you want to fulfill our ...... I'm with Matsudaira Nagamitsu-kun. She carefully chose her words.

"Lord Gongfang toils hard every day, and it is extremely hard, so ...... Midai-sama thought, "If you just make a marriage, you probably don't need to bother with it, as long as Midai-sama orders it......"

Ashikaga Yoshiteru seemed to be thinking, measuring the degree of truth and sincerity in her words. In the end, he seemed to simply let her go.

"Uh-huh. A man's ambition, where is it so simple—" he said meaningfully.

Liu Quan: !?

There seemed to be a deep meaning in this sentence, but before she could figure it out, Ashikaga Yoshiteru said abruptly:

"Since Yutai takes such a fancy to you, then tomorrow's Kiyomizu Temple, you can also serve Yutai and go together. ”

Willow Springs: !!

Perhaps seeing her knee-jerk reaction that was both surprised and hesitant, Ashikaga Yoshiteru chuckled softly.

"Your lover will stay at Nijo Castle. - If that's what you want to know. ”

…… Sending propositions through and through!!

Liu Quan immediately felt a chill and rushed up his spine.

It was not long before Ashikaga Nagamitsu went to Ashikaga Yoshiteru, and it was only right for Ashikaga Yoshiki to travel without him - knowing that there might be a group of people who wanted to be unfavorable to him on the streets outside, he naturally wanted to take his most loyal people with him when he went out.

However, it is a bit ...... to deliberately let her accompany her Does he still think that Da Banruo Changguang is an undercover agent sent in by the Miyoshi family? Nijo Castle is not an iron wall, and an iron cannon can definitely blow a big hole in the wall if it is bombarded overnight, and there is still a need to temporarily send an internal agent to come in and combine the inside and outside.

But of course, Liu Quan couldn't say it directly. She had no choice but to hold her breath, bow her head heavily, and respond, "Yes!"

……

The next day, the Shogun went down to Kiyomizuji Temple with a strong guard.

The night before, when Yanagizumi had retired from Mrs. Nobuko Godaisho, he had also passed the news that Ashikaga Yoshiki had ordered her to accompany her the next day, but that he had left Daihannya Nagamitsu in Nijo Castle to stay behind. However, the two of them couldn't figure out what was going on with Ashikaga Yoshiteru's flying in the sky for the time being.

Da Prajna Nagamitsu: "Well, it's also a matter of duty to be wary of the newly-arrived samurai, who are very skilled—"

Ryuzumi: "But it feels weird to suddenly ask me to stay with Midai and make it clear that he intends to let you stay in Nijo Castle...... And in front of the Imperial Observatory, we just mentioned a ...... Uh, a touching love story......"

Da Prajna Changguang really raised his eyebrows with interest.

"'A touching love story'?!" he playfully repeated Willow Spring's words, revealing a subtle smile.

"I really didn't know that you still had a talent for storytelling. He said with a smile, and at the end of his words there was a bright little hook, as if he wanted to hook straight to find out the secret of her big fish's past.

Liu Quan succinctly cut off his associations.

"There are so many location maps, it's not difficult to find a background on the map and make up a story...... Especially with a history like the Battle of Genpei, it's easy to make up a sad story to move them – just like what you've been doing these days. ”

She stabbed him with a small backhand without hesitation. Da Prajna Changguang first showed a look of surprise, and then laughed in a low voice.

"Hahaha...... Interesting. He said with a smile, not at all offending by her taunts, but looking at her as if he had only met her for the first time today.

"What other interesting tricks would you have?...... I'd love to know now. He said leisurely, a smile of unknown meaning on his lips.

Liu Quan grimaced, and replied in a zombie-like mechanical and cold tone, "Kill." …… Would you like to give it a try, Matsudaira-sama?"

Da Panruo Changguang was slightly stunned, and then laughed even louder.

Liu Quan almost wanted to jump up and get a sack to cover his head.

Even if they were surrounded by her mute spell now, his laughter was a little too hearty—to the point of unscrupulousness! There was still a group of careerists wandering the streets outside who wanted to rush in and hack the general to death on the spot, now was not the time to laugh?!

She rolled her eyes angrily at Da Panruo Changguang and said, "I'm also very happy to be able to make you so happy!"

She was clearly saying the opposite. But Da Panruo Changguang laughed even more after hearing it.

Liu Quan: "......"

Where's the system? Redeem me for a wand, and I'll forget him Avada—

She had a wooden face and a groove in her heart, and Da Prajna Changguang managed to barely stop laughing, but his narrow and long-painted phoenix eyes were full of remnants, sparkling smiles—he stared at her and said with a smile, "In that case, I'll be relieved—"

Liu Quan: "...... What are you relieved of?"

Da Panruo Changguang coughed with a smile, touched his nose, and said, "In this way, even if I don't go to Kiyomizu Temple with me tomorrow, only you can be by the side of the Imperial Observatory, and I am relieved." ”

Liu Quan stiffened his face and replied angrily: "So thank you so much-"

As if he hadn't heard her little spiky words, Da Yanru suddenly added another sentence.

“…… Because an interesting woman like you won't be killed easily~"

Liu Quan couldn't bear it anymore, turned around and left.

"Accept your good words, I will try to stay alive tomorrow!"

Ah, I'm so angry!

The loud laughter that Obanya Nagako had let out behind her at that time seemed to echo behind her until she followed Mrs. Nobuko into Kiyomizu-ji Temple, and the laughter still didn't go away.

For some reason, the laughter made her nervous for some reason.

According to history, Matsunaga Hide, the "No. 1 Villain of the Warring States", united with the famous "Three Good Three", and originally planned to attack and kill Ashikaga Yoshiteru when he went to Kiyomizuji Temple. However, because of the crowd of soldiers and horses and the strict guards, it was no less than Luozhong, so it failed to succeed.

Although the traffic is very inconvenient at this time, and the road is slow, it is calculated that it is only a few kilometers from Nijo Castle to Kiyomizu-dera Temple. It's inconvenient to attack and kill a shogun in such a short distance - but besieging Nijo Castle might be even more inconvenient, so be careful if there are any changes along the way.

Ryuizumi followed Mrs. Nobuko out of the main hall, and at the same time he glanced at his surroundings vigilantly—and at the same time without a trace.

According to etiquette, Mrs. Nobuko walked behind Ashikaga Yoshiteru. Originally, it would have been enough to be half a step behind, but Ashikaga Yoshiteru was heavily guarded in order to prevent a sneak attack by someone with a heart, which made Mrs. Nobuko a little more behind-which is understandable.

Generally speaking, even if it is a political dispute, even the worst person will not easily kill the enemy's female relatives together - for example, didn't the original Minamoto Yoritomo still leave the side room of Gen Yoshitsune Shizumae with a life-plus Mrs. Nobuko was born in the Konoe family, one of the five regent families, so Mrs. Nobuko actually has no worries about her life;

But Mrs. Nobuko, of course, did not want to see her husband killed like this. After she left the main hall, her eyes kept falling on the back of the general who was surrounded by guards not far away, and the broken steps under her feet couldn't help but be faster.

As a result, her maids had to speed up their pace—which made Liu Quan, who was not very accustomed to this kind of small step, faintly feel inconvenienced.

Before she could straighten out the frequency under her feet, she heard a sudden commotion not far away!

As soon as Yanagizumi looked up, he saw that the group of guards in front of him who were surrounded by Ashikaga Yoshiteru suddenly moved in a chaotic manner, as if they were starting a battle with someone who was lurking outside the door!

Willow Springs: !!

She reacted immediately, rushing up and stopping in front of Mrs. Nobuko.

"Someone has assassinated Lord Gongfang! everyone protects Lord Gotai!"

The ladies who served Mrs. Nobuko--the same people who listened to her story of bloody love yesterday--lived up to the name of her confidant, and after a short period of stunnedness, they immediately surrounded Mrs. Nobuko in the middle.

However, of course, they had no experience in dealing with such a major event as "the general was assassinated", so they subconsciously looked at Liu Quan, who was the first to react and shout about the development of the situation.

Jiu Song even shouted: "How can this be good!

Liu Quan hesitated.

Since she is traveling as a maid today, of course it is impossible for her to bring a knife. But she has not experienced the history of "the assassination of the general Kiyomizuji Cān Bài", and I don't know if the true situation of history is like this - although when she left Honmaru, according to the instructions of Shoji Fujisawa conveyed by Kitsunosuke, she was not required to fight against the time-tracing march and correct the revised history, but she couldn't just sit back and wait for death- You must know that the God Inquisitor did not avoid death when he came out of the battle, if he was killed, he would be killed, God knows if there is a blood protection or a second chance to live!

But is she going to show her feet here? How can she explain that a daughter from a petty official family like "Quan Shuzhu" actually has excellent swordsmanship?

Just when she was in a dilemma, the guards in front of her had already surrounded Ashikaga Yoshiki in the middle and rushed out of the gate, all the way to the bottom of the sakado.

In fact, the terrain near here, Liuquan is not unfamiliar - in the north of Kiyomizu Temple, it is the location of the imperial tomb guards - Gaotai Temple. She also once left the Imperial Tomb Guard Camp of Kodaiji Tsukijinin Temple and returned to Shinsengumi in order to give Koichi a perfect excuse, and pretended to be the daughter of a townsman who was let down by Koichi and ran to Tsukizen-in Temple and cried outside the gate - now that I think about it, I am ashamed!

However, the current era is not right, and Kodaiji Temple was built to enshrine Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Hokusho Nene Fu. At that time, it must have been a short time for the Mikatsuki Sojin to stay with Mrs. Nene of the Hokushosho in Kodaiji Temple, which was still the "Kodai-in" at that time, and the Hokumasasu was a place where Toyotomi Hideyoshi became a monk and lived in seclusion after his death. Now, however, the terrain over there and whether it can be used or not is undecided.

She quickly thought about the nearby terrain in her heart, and realized to her chagrin that the only way out and back to Nijo Castle was the best choice at the moment. Moreover, the change of Yonglu is close at hand, and it cannot be avoided. If she doesn't watch it happen in Nijo Castle, her infiltration investigation mission can't be considered complete.

Now that she had made up her mind, she immediately looked around, and after making sure that those "thieves" were besieging Ashikaga Yoshiteru and his party, she quickly came to the side of the maid Hisamatsu, and asked in a low voice, "Are all the cars parked outside the gate here?!"

Before she could finish her words, three or four guards in front of her rushed towards them, shouting as they ran: "I will come to protect Lord Godai on the orders of Lord Gongfang!

Liu Quan: "......"
