Mrs. Nobuko failed to convince Yanagisen, so she had to leave the hall one step at a time.

Of course, the object of her tearful review was not Yanagizumi, but the shogun Yoshiki Ashikaga Yoshiki, who was still standing at the top of the hall and the open space beside him was filled with famous swords.

Ashikaga Yoshiteru stood in the bright light, the bright light casting a shadow on the side of the bridge of his tall nose, making his expression look particularly gloomy. He pressed the hilt of the knife at his waist, and stood there with a golden sword and a brave posture, as if he was thinking about something, as if he was just watching the back of his wife leave for the last time.

When Mrs. Nobuko went out the door and turned into the corridor outside the house, and the figure faded away, disappearing from their sight, Ashikaga Yoshiteru withdrew his gaze and looked around the hall again. Finally, his eyes fell on Liu Quan, who was standing by the door.

"Come forward, Xue. He commanded in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Liu Quan quickly glanced at the big Hannya Nagako beside him, and then walked in the direction of Ashikaga Yoshiki. Her gait was steady, unhurried—a calmness that stood out when the attendants in the hall were more or less nervous.

Ashikaga Yoshiteru watched as she walked towards him, and finally he spoke as she stopped in front of him and saluted politely.

"Your performance at Kiyomizu-dera Temple, I've heard about it. ”

Ashikaga Yoshiteru's voice was low, sounding like a superior of extraordinary force. Although Liu Quan bowed his head slightly and lowered his gaze according to etiquette, he could also feel that the gaze he projected above his head was as compelling as substance.

Ryuzumi didn't speak, but bowed slightly and returned the salute, as if Ashikaga Yoshiteru was complimenting her with what he had just said.

Ashikaga Yoshiteru was silent for a moment before continuing:

"I was curious where you learned your swordsmanship...... But it doesn't matter now. ”

Liu Quan paused slightly, and deliberately lowered his head a little.

This gesture of deference fell in the eyes of Ashikaga Yoshiteru, who just smiled and said, "You, probably not a bad person." ”

Liu Quan: "......"

The feeling that General Jianhao, who was ordered in an instant, suddenly issued a good guy card, is really ...... Kind of weird?!

She sighed inwardly, but still didn't speak, just lowered her head a little lower.

These two identical, deferential gestures, of course, Ashikaga Yoshiteru will not miss. He looked at Liu Quan, then looked at Da Pannyo Changguang, who was still standing by the door and was tall, and sighed slowly.

“…… Both of you have had several chances to attack me. But you didn't...... There are not many people who have such precious kindness to me now. He said.

"So, I won't pursue any more of your special intentions. …… After all, if you didn't attack me in the first place, did you want to wait for a good day to be bad for me? He chuckled, half joking, half desolate.

Liu Quan didn't dare to look up at him, but he couldn't help but sigh again in his heart.

…… You're right, Lord Gongfang.

We...... Or do you really want to wait until a certain time to see the end of your life?

This thought couldn't help but make her feel a little sympathy and sympathy for a while. But this cannot be shown.

She could only reply to him, "I just said to Lord Godai-' - 'Maybe it's only a matter of time before everything happens, but it's also Lord Gongfang who has sheltered us to this day.'" So, I want to stay here and go to the end together, and do my best." ”

Ashikaga Yoshiteru seemed to be a little surprised. Liu Quan could hear his voice raise a little.

"Oh?!" he asked in surprise, and then there was silence for a long time, as if pondering the meaning of the words.

It seemed like a long, long time before he spoke up and said, "...... These are very well said. I'm sorry for you. ”

Strangely, with just two dry comments, the young maid in front of him, who was brave and fierce, and was almost different from the women of the day, suddenly raised her head. The pupils that were as clear as two black crystals stared straight at him.

Then, the corners of her lips seemed to curl slightly, quickly, as if she were genuinely happy.

"Thank you. She said, "These are things that were said to slaves and maidservants in the past." …… Today, the slave felt that she could also express her feelings, so she answered Lord Godai like this. It's great to be praised by the Princess...... I guess he would be glad if he knew. ”

Yes, in that era when the power of the general was also declining, if you could get two sentences like the general at that time, those people would ...... Those who are fighting against the irresistible trend in the whirlpool of the times, and who are desperately trying to pursue their inner morality and faith, will be gratified.

Although many years have passed, the general of this plane is not the general who has lived up to their loyalty, but—this is also a kind of ...... There's a beginning and an end, right?

Yanagizumi bowed deeply to Ashikaga Yoshiki again and retreated.

Before leaving, Ashikaga Yoshiteru stopped her again, pointed at the swords stuck in the room, and said, "Go and choose a sword." It'll be useful tonight. ”

Liu Quan was slightly stunned, quickly nodded and said "obey", walked aside, thought for a moment, and then bypassed the few swords that were obviously also named in the legend as "the famous swords used by the Sword Hero General in the last battle" - such as "Three Days Moon Sect Near" - intending to find an ordinary {?} point knife.

However, if these knives were with knives, she could still identify what they were by the patterns and patterns of the knives, but now they were all unsheathed in a cold light, and they were stuck upside down on the tatami mats. Liu Quan remembered the crescent-shaped blade pattern of the Three Days Moon Sect very well, but when she got to the other swords, she hurt her brain when she faced the blade pattern that was not much different in her eyes.

As a result, a voice behind her made a choice for her.

"Take your pick. ”

Da Prajna Changguang slowly paced behind her and pointed straight at one of them.

Liu Quan was stunned for a moment, followed his instructions, and found that it was a sword with very distinctive blade patterns.

In comparison, the main knife of the Three Sun Moon Sect is almost full of cold light with a metallic luster, and if you look at it in the dark, there is still a little dark and heavy blade lines, which are also very neat from top to bottom, and the name "Three Sun Moon" is just because of those small crescent-shaped blade lines on the knife body. However, the blade pattern of the knife in front of him is simply too characteristic - it is wavy-like, and some of the crest-like protrusions are almost reaching the midline of the blade.

Liu Quan was stunned for a moment, and spit out a groan casually.

"Oh my God, this blade is so beautiful...... What kind of knife is this? Kanagawa waves......?"

She heard the voice of the great light behind her, and suddenly became rigid.

"This is the 'great light of eternity'. ”

Willow Springs: !!

She blushed subconsciously in an instant, and her cheeks were hot because of the double effect of guilt and embarrassment.

The feeling of complaining and vomiting in front of me and being caught red-handed...... It's terrible!

"Yes, I'm sorry!" she immediately turned and bowed her head towards the Great Prajna Changguang to admit her mistake.

"I ...... I just think that this blade pattern is too distinctive, like the waves of Kanagawa...... I'm sorry if I offended you!"

The Great Prajna Changguang did not speak immediately. Liu Quan could feel his gaze burning on top of his head, as if he were about to burn a hole there.

After a while, he snorted angrily and said, "For the sake of the fact that you didn't plan to choose it just now by bypassing the 'Three Days Moon Sect', so forget it." ...... 'Great Prajna Changguang' blade is more than two inches shorter than the 'Three Days Moon Sect', which is more suitable for people of your height. You just take it. ”

…… So in the end, why did you deliberately point out that the Three Days Moon Sect was near!

Liu Quan felt a miasma of black smoke in his head. But after all, I was at fault now, so I had to swallow this complaint, walked up with a smile and pulled out the "Great Panruo Changguang", looked at it carefully, and felt that I needed to have a few more rainbow farts to please me, so I racked my brains and thought about it, and said: "...... It's really good-looking. It is worthy of being a famous knife worth 600 pieces in this era!"

Da Panruo Changguang seemed to sneer angrily, he seemed to be patient with his urge to attack at first, but in the end he still felt that he couldn't bear it anymore {fog!}, he stepped forward a few steps, and patted her on the back of the head with a "snap" as soon as he stretched out his hand. Although he didn't use much strength, he slapped the defenseless Liu Quantou and suddenly lowered his head, like a greedy bird pecking rice.

Liu Quan staggered forward before he stood firm, and immediately reflexively covered the back of his head with his free left hand and turned around, frowning and glaring at Da Panruo Changguang, with a look of aggrieved Bala who dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

Seeing that her eyebrows were about to be skimmed into figures-of-eight, for some reason, Da Bangruo Changguang burst out laughing.

His eyebrows and eyes were flattened, his voice was much softer, and there was a hint of inexplicable hoarseness, as if with a smile, as if with a little other meaning, and said: "Ah~ I'm sorry, I'm quite immature at this time......?"

Liu Quan: ?!

She was stunned and slowly lowered her left hand covering the back of her head, feeling as if she had somehow opened some terrible branch. Although this sentence sounds like nothing at first glance, the tone in which he said it is really subtle, not only reverie, but also shocking-

At this moment, a guard hurriedly rushed in from outside, shouting, "Lord Gongfang! the gate is about to be breached......! Not enough people—"

Ashikaga Yoshiteru took a step forward abruptly! His left hand pressed on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and his face was full of fierceness. After looking around the hall for a week, he gave a resolute order: "All men, attack! Quickly go to the gate for reinforcements!"

Several of the guards who remained in the hall responded with a bang, and all of them poured out of the room, rushing in the direction of the gate with the man who had just come to report the news.

Because Ashikaga Yoshiteru's order just now was "all staff", of course Da Pranya Nagamitsu couldn't help but go with them. So Liu Quan also subconsciously followed him behind him and ran a few steps in the direction of the door, and then heard Ashikaga Yoshiteru's voice.

"Axue, you just stay here. ”

Yanagizumi stopped and turned back to see Ashikaga Yoshiki standing alone in the almost empty hall at the moment, with no one else beside him except for the sword stuck in the tatami mat, and his figure seemed distant, small and lonely against the dim light of the wind-blown yellow light.

Liu Quan bit his lower lip, then stopped, looked at the back of Da Panruo Changguang, and suddenly shouted at him: "Changguang-kun, you have to be careful......! I'll stay here, maybe there's something going on here......"

Da Prajna Changguang also stopped, glanced back at her, and his gaze drifted over her shoulder and into the hall. He saw both Ashikaga Yoshiki's lonely figure standing there and the famous knife stuck in the tatami mats, and then, without warning, he turned around and strode towards Yanagizumi, and with a rough hand he grabbed her wrist and dragged her down the hallway outside the door.

Liu Quan: ??

Her question was quickly answered—the Great Buddha choked and pulled his own body knife from the scabbard at his waist. Then, he approached the top of the blade with the hilt upside down, and handed his main knife to Liu Quan.

"Take this. He lowered his voice and said quickly.

"In that case, just in case the situation changes on my side...... You can also get sense. If you have a problem here, call me directly from here. ”

Liu Quan realized what he didn't say—if his body was injured as Fu Fushen, it would be shown on the main body knife. Similarly, if she was in a critical situation here and she couldn't leave here to report to him, she could summon him again if she first took him back as a mourning god and then re-injected spiritual power into his main blade here.

In this way, the Ontology Knife is actually a means of communication between them.

The situation was urgent, Liu Quan didn't say much, just nodded silently, took the main body knife of the Great Prajna Nagako with his left hand, and handed over the collection of General Ashikaga Yoshiki with his right hand.

"Be careful. She also whispered.

"Remember, our mission is only to investigate...... Please don't fight hard until the necessary moment......"

Da Panruo glanced at her with a smile.

"Well, you should remember this sentence yourself~" He replied as if teasingly, then withdrew his hand and took a step back, looked at her deeply, and resolutely turned around and strode all the way in the direction of the gate.

At the moment when he moved, there was a sudden "boom" in the sky, and a thunderclap was crossed!

All of a sudden, the rain poured down. 18
