625 623 [Return Chapter 4] 48
"However, I still wanted to gamble my luck at the time...... "The Divine Inquisitor had a wry smile on her face as if she was about to cry.
"Thinking about the arrival of the military commissioner will not change your attitude towards me...... Even if Kamakuraden makes any unacceptable requests, you will believe in my sincerity......"
The Divine Inquisitor paused slightly, her voice becoming slightly hoarse.
“…… However, it really didn't work. ”
"In your eyes, you don't hesitate to risk your own life to protect Hiraizumi...... And Genji is going to take away such a precious thing that you regard as your life...... As someone from Genji, it's impossible for me to be trusted by you now. ”
Her voice was like a sigh.
"You don't trust me anymore...... Then I'll do one last thing for you—no, for Lord Taiheng. ”
Fujiwara Hidehiro was silent for a moment. The candles in the spacious hall flickered, but for a moment it seemed to be terrifyingly quiet, only the wheezing sound of Fujiwara Hidehiro, which had become heavy because of his injury, snorted, like a dilapidated bellows.
Suddenly the wind blew outside.
In the dark of night, if you look from afar, the lights are bright, and this hall is the only one. A cold breeze poured in between the open sashes, blowing between the people facing each other inside the house.
Fujiwara Hidehiro gasped, more and more blood gushing out from the wound in his abdomen, smearing his dark hunting clothes with a growing hideous mark.
He finally struggled and said, "...... Suppose you really ...... If you have a heart, you will replace ...... Taiheng ...... Let's clear the way. ”
The five fingers of the female inquisitor's right hand slowly tightened, and she grasped the blood-stained short knife.
"Taiheng...... Do you know about your crazy plan?" she asked, as if she were struggling.
Fujiwara Hidehiro finally fell to the ground in front of her as if he couldn't support his body, which had lost a lot of blood.
"Ah...... I have long thought about letting him carry it out...... However, he was unexpectedly ...... Soft-hearted...... Hehehe......"
Outside the house, there was a sudden strong wind. But the Lord of Oshu didn't seem to see it.
He froze to the ground, struggling to prop up his upper body with his left arm, while his right hand still covered the bleeding wound in his abdomen, and told the truth without minions.
"Really...... Taehyung, wouldn't he want to assassinate his father to buy time for Hiraizumi......" The Female Inquisitor muttered in a low voice.
Fujiwara seemed to choke on the blood foam that poured up his throat. He coughed twice with great difficulty.
The wind outside the window was louder. Heavy dark clouds gathered in the sky. The original clear moonlight is not visible at all.
The Three Days Moon Sect heard what seemed to be a chaotic running sound in the distance in the corridor. The wooden floor easily amplified the footsteps of people, so those people were probably some way away from the hall.
An ominous premonition rose in his mind. He held the body knife in his hand and reminded in a low voice, "Master, it seems that the situation has changed-"
The gaze of the female inquisitor swept in his direction in an instant, and after exchanging glances with him in mid-air, she immediately walked in front of Fujiwara Hidehiro, who fell to the ground, and crouched down, looking at the Lord of Oshu who was about to die.
The sound of hurried footsteps outside the hall seemed to be getting closer.
The wind outside the window was blowing fiercely, rolling up dark clouds that obscured the sky. It was as if the whole world was about to be swept away by this gust of wind, which was suffocating.
Fujiwara Hidehiro gasped with difficulty, and once again struggled to raise his head, staring at the young woman in front of him.
Then he saw the woman slowly smile at him as if she was about to cry.
“…… So, Xiuheng Palace...... Whether it's you, or Taiheng, you've never believed me, have you? ”
There was a vague choking in her voice, and her bright eyes were covered with tears, revealing the reflection of the last moments of his life.
Fujiwara pauses before answering.
It was then that he heard his son screaming in the corridor outside the door.
Fujiwara Taiheng seemed to be out of breath from running all the way, and before he reached the door of the hall, he had already shouted because the situation was unknown: "...... Father!!"
Fujiwara Hidehiro closed his eyes, as if he had made up his mind in that instant.
He said, "A little...... That's right. ”
After a painful snort, he added.
"That's, they're all ...... Delaying tactics, you know?"
Fujiwara Taiheng, who was in a hurry, seemed to be even more anxious because he didn't hear his father's answer. The sound of footsteps outside the door, knocking heavily on the wooden corridor, knocking and knocking, each sound seemed to knock on people's hearts at the same time.
Then, the Three Days Moon Sect heard a long sigh from the Female Divine Inquisitor.
“…… I get it. She replied to Fujiwara in a strange tone. And then—
With a bang, the sharp tip of the knife penetrated the flesh and blood of mortals, and then pulled it out with great force, bringing up a rain of blood.
Almost at the same time, a thunderclap sounded in the sky outside the window!
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell –
It seemed that the sound of an earthen bell suddenly sounded between heaven and earth, from far and near.
The Three Days Moon Sect made a decision.
"Can't wait any longer!"
He rushed up and dragged up the female inquisitor who was still half-crouching next to Fujiwara Hidehiro, who had already lost his breath.
"Your attempt has failed! We must go back now, or else—"
Before he could finish his words, he heard Yasuhiro Fujiwara's voice, which was very similar to his, raise outside the door.
"Why are you here!? Could it be—she—"
Fujiwara Taiheng's words seemed to have regained the sanity of the female judge in an instant.
She slammed into the window on one side—bursting out with tremendous force, and even dragging one of the hands of the Three Moonsinks—shouted out of the window, "Kane-san!
She forcefully withdrew her hand from Mikazuki Sokami's hand, and began to quickly move through the hall of the Gara Imperial Palace, first pointing to the sky with one hand, and then spreading her hands out in a complex set of gestures.
It was the sealing technique that the Inquisitor had to complete when he used his spiritual power to forcibly open a passage back to the main pill on the exit map.
Generally speaking, there is something like a return point on the normal exit map, and it is usually near the landing site where you teleported, and after completing the battle normally, you can return to Honmaru as long as you step on the return to the castle porter.
However, when they came here, they were originally through the Shrine Teleportation Array that had been redirected, which was an extraordinary situation - and there was no way to find out if there was a teleportation point back to the city.
So now, the technique used by the female inquisitor is to use a large amount of spiritual power to forcibly tear a teleportation channel between time and space to return to the Honmaru - in other words, this kind of thing can only be done perfectly by those who are powerful and full of spiritual power.
The Three Sun Moon Sect watched as a door of light gradually lengthened and grew larger between the arms of the goddess inquisitor from a small circle when it was first formed, and finally elongated to about a person's height, from a large point of light to the appearance of a moon gate.
Suddenly, Izumi Morikane's rough shouts rang out from a large open window close to them.
"Hey, Guoguang, you go in from here first! Quick!"
Immediately after, there were several sounds of gold and iron clashing in the corridor outside the door, and then the figure of a young man quickly climbed in through the open window.
As soon as he landed, he immediately turned around and shouted, "Kan-san!"
Then the figure that appeared next to the window was stunned, and then had to dodge aside a little to land smoothly.
…… It's a smiling Qingjiang.
As soon as he stood firm, he shook his head and sighed, and went up and forcibly pulled Horikawa Kunihiro away from the window.
"It's useless for you to be in such a hurry...... Hurry up and go into the portal first, right?" he tugged at Kunihiro Horikawa's arm and pointed to the glittering gate of light that was now in front of the female inquisitor.
Before Horikawa Kunihiro could speak, the female judge shouted: "Kunihiro, go back with Qingjiang first! This teleportation array can't last too long, three days and moons, go and pick up Kane-sang!"
Kunihiro Horikawa was stunned by the never-before-seen powerful shouts of the female inquisitor.
The Three Days Moon Sect had already rushed to that window.
As a result, as soon as he saw the situation outside the window, he paused slightly because he was surprised.
Outside the window, there are now three people, including Nagaso Mi Hu Toru, Izumi Shou Kaneda, and Ichijo Ichijo. And now the one who is holding the knife by Izumi Mamoru is the next head of the Oshu Fujiwara clan, Fujiwara Taiheng.
Nagaso Yatoru and Ichijo Ichiki were dealing with the entourage who had followed Fujiwara Yasuhiro. For them, the seven or eight entourages were not a problem at all - Fujiwara Yasuhiro only brought such a few people and hurried to the Gara Imperial Palace, was it because he heard some news, or was it just because he had a bad premonition and wanted to confirm it?
The Three Days Moon Sect didn't have to think much about it recently, and turned to one side to let the chief Zeng Mihu Toru and the first phase of Yizhen, who had finished dealing with those retinues with ordinary combat strength, enter the hall first. Then, before he could think about whether to do a favor with Izumi Mamoru and solve Fujiwara Taiheng's tricky □□ together, he heard Fujiwara Taiheng's cold voice.
"It turns out it's you. ”
It's rare to be so calm and comfortable in a battle.
At this time, he happened to draw his sword and collide with the sword of Izumi Shouji, forming a situation of wrestling between the two sides. After seeing the appearance of the Three Days Moon Sect near the window, his eyes were cold, and he pushed the Izumi Shou Kanedai Lian Knife away a little, and he retreated two steps back, glaring at the Three Days Moon Sect with a high degree of vigilance.
"You guys, why are you here? He asked in a cold tone.
"What did you do to my father?"
Izumi was stunned.
Today didn't have enough time for the Female Inquisitor to explain to all of them the tacit understanding and plan she had reached with Fujiwara Hidehiro, so there was actually only one person in the know, Mikazuki Sect. Although the remaining five people had just drawn their knives and rushed out because they sensed that something was going on in the hall, they probably wouldn't have thought about what was going on inside before they entered the hall.
So Izumi Mamoru was stunned for a moment and blurted out: "Ha?!What are you talking about?!"
Sanri Moon Zongjin slowly frowned, and calmly said to Izumi Mamoru Kaneda: "Izumi Mamoru, you go in first, the master is inside." ”
Izumi Mamoru Kaneji seemed to want to say something, but probably because he thought that the master was still in the hall, and it seemed that he also needed his combat power to protect him, so he sighed, and finally didn't dwell too much on Fujiwara Taiheng's side, and turned over from the side of the Three Days Moon Sect and jumped into the window.
The Three Moons Sect leaned sideways in front of Fujiwara Taiheng and slowly narrowed his eyes.
"What can we do to Xiuheng Palace, ahahaha. ”
He said. Despite the familiar laughter, his momentum did not diminish in the slightest.
Then, slowly, his eyes cooled.
“…… Isn't it clear to you what we're going to do, Lord Taehyung. He said slowly, word by word.
Fujiwara Taiheng's eyes widened slightly for a moment.
At this time, his gaze suddenly deflected—it was fixed on the position of the Three Days Moon Sect a little closer to his side.
Immediately, the voice of the female inquisitor rang out.
"Your father is dead. ”
Despite the strong wind outside the house, the sun and the moon were silent, her voice was still so steady and clear, it sounded like a drop of water falling into the pool by the pool in the courtyard of the Gara Imperial Palace.
"Now, Oshu is yours, Tayheng. ”
Unexpectedly, she didn't use an honorific to speak to him anymore.
"Take responsibility for the war that has already begun, and put an end to it. If you want to do something, just let it go—"
She said.
Although most of the candles in the hall had been blown out by the strong wind and there was no moon in the dark sky, for some reason, after staring at her for a while, Fujiwara Yasuhiro could still faintly see the dark marks on her sleeve.
His expression froze for a moment, and his right hand unconsciously clenched the hilt of the knife in his hand.
Yet it was as if she hadn't seen his shock and pain.
Today, since she had come to meet the Lord of Oshu, for the sake of etiquette, she did not wear the unconventional shrine maiden costume that he had seen at Fujisenkan last night, which wanted to imitate Miko, but wore a gorgeous lilac kimono. Standing behind the wide open window, her sleeves blown away by the wind.
He had always known that Noriko Kujo was beautiful—more beautiful than the White Dragon Miko. However, he doesn't think he's the kind of person who will be impressed by simple beauty. Kujo is beautiful, but he is arrogant and willful, and none of the things he does are in line with his heart, and it is still the case to this day-
Even though he saw her vague thoughts about him, he still felt that the woman in front of him was as hateful as Kamakuraden himself.
But what happened to him today.
Through the window, her clear gaze was on him, so focused, as if only the two of them were left in heaven and earth.
Then she gave him a bright, sad smile.
"And Genji's ...... Like everyone else," she said softly, "I've become a demon—"
Yasuhiro Fujiwara: ?!
Her gaze fell on his clenched right hand, and it flashed.
"Now, become a ghost-slayer, Taeheng. She concluded.
The earthen bells are getting louder and louder, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells—
Fujiwara watched as she held out a hand in his direction.
The palm of his right hand was upward, spread out, as if he wanted to hold his hand—
However, that hand was stained with blood.
The next moment, he heard her voice, calling someone else's name.
She said, "Three days and moons, let's go." ”
Ah, it turns out that her hand is not stretched out to him.
Although he seemed to understand that his father's death might have something to do with her, he stood still and did not move.
She should understand?...... He knew that her weight was not enough for him to threaten Genji, and if she died here, it would be even more useless to him, and to the battle between Genji and the Oshu Fujiwara clan.
Her most useful moment was when she escaped from the Gara Imperial Palace with such a stigma after assassinating the third generation of the Oshu Fujiwara clan. In this way, he occupies the position of righteousness, and can also send troops at will on the grounds of "the assassination of the commander", and even surround the residence of Genji's army to worship Kajiwara Keitoki-
The sound of the earthen bell from nowhere, louder and louder, almost seemed to ring through the heavens and the earth, jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell.
[Izumi, Izumi Gozen, please stop! Don't, don't do such a dangerous thing......]
Suddenly, someone's panicked shouts entered his ears.
He was shocked and looked around, only to see that there was no one else present.
He pondered for a long time, and finally felt that the voice seemed to be the voice of his subordinate Jiro Kawada.
Today, however, he did not bring Jiro Kawada to the Gara Imperial Palace.
So, why did he have the impression - or rather, hallucination - that Jiro Kawada shouted such words in a panic under such bad weather?!
The sky was filled with clouds and thunder. A bolt of lightning that seemed to be able to almost penetrate the heavens and the earth suddenly slashed from the clouds and reached the ground.
Where the lightning appeared, the thick clouds seemed to begin to crack open—
Beside him, her cronies, retainers, and the beautiful man she had just called "Three Days and Moon" had a faint change of color on his face.
He immediately turned around and rushed back into the hall, grabbed her left hand, and forcibly pulled her back.
"Can't...... Can't stay here any longer!Master, let's go!"
The kind of voice that was extremely similar to Fujiwara Taiheng, lowered his voice and shouted.
Yasuhiro Fujiwara: ?!
The annoying earthen bells still keep ringing, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells-
When she was forced to retreat by the beautiful man, Fujiwara Yasuhiro suddenly rushed forward two steps for some reason, and then stopped outside the wide open window.
…… However, the room was empty. When he rushed to the window, it was as if the last glimmer of light from the room had dissipated.
The author has something to say: July 17:
Aha, I've already written that I'm about to explode [No
Anyway, this difficult plot to write, I finally finished writing hahahaha!
I always feel like it's a classic game in a distant time and space.,But it doesn't seem like I saw many of the same people.
It's because this series is so old, so everyone is playing other games now
For the sake of understanding, let me explain a little bit about what this is all about.
In the original work, Xiuheng's death was also counted on Taiheng's head
Later, he was assassinated on the way to see off Miko because of this
At this time, Genji was already planning to attack Oshu
So Fujiwara Hidehiro actually planned to use his own death to delay the time, and give Taehyung an excuse to take some unusual actions
This action is actually aimed at the real **oss.,This **oss will appear the next time the girl returns to this dungeon.
Xiuheng designed the girl to be the one who actually attacked him, because Izumi Gozen was Genji's man
She fled after the assassination, and Taehyung had an excuse to surround the place where the Genji army, who was in Hiraizumi, was staying at Kajiwara Keito
**OSS is actually hidden there, too.
The girl pretended to be a trick because she wanted to take the opportunity to test whether the important event of Xiuheng's assassination could repair the opportunity to repair the distortion of time and space, but now of course she found out that it was not.
Above.
At the end of the chapter, Taehyung hears what Kawada said the last time he was assassinated by Kawada on the mountain road, when Kawada was going to blame his sister-in-law
In other words, space-time has begun to go out of order
The next time the girl comes back, she can end this dungeon~~
Now, I'm going to go and go collapse...... It's been a bit of a lot in the past two days, and it's beyond my ability to do so
PS. Thank you, little angel monobe raccoon, grenades and rocket launchers!Kiss thank you (づ ̄3 ̄)づ╭~
