The light cleared, and Yanagizumi found them landing outside the door of a honmaru.

No, it's not quite right to say it's outside the door. Because the landing place is about a few tens of meters away from the gate. Of course, this arrangement is understandable, if every outsider can land directly in the target Honmaru courtyard through the teleportation array inside the Honmaru without any hindrance, then this defense hole is simply low-level to the point of outrageousness.

Therefore, every time Liu Quan visits other Honmaru, she always walks up such a section in peace, so although she came with a different purpose today, she doesn't feel anything unusual at all so far.

However, when the three of them walked to the door of Honmaru, Mikazuki Munejin suddenly raised his arm and slammed it in front of Liu Quan, just enough to block her steps.

Almost at the same time, Ichijo also stopped, and his right hand reached for the hilt of his own body knife at his waist like lightning.

Willow Springs

The face of the Three Days Moon Sect, which usually always had a faint smile, did not have a smile at all now.

He said in a deep voice, "We all walked to the gate of this Honmaru, but there was still no one inside who noticed that we were coming, so either something strange had happened in this Honmaru, or they were hostile to us, so they intended to do us badly. ”

Liu Quan glanced at the two closed doors in front of him. Then, she commanded, "Yiyi-kun, please come and knock on the door." Let's see if anyone comes out. ”

Yiyi answered with a neat "yes", then slowly stepped forward, stretched out his left hand, and knocked the door a few times, during which his right hand was always on the hilt of the knife at his waist, apparently ready to draw his sword and start the battle.

However, there was silence behind the door.

The left hand of the first shaker paused slightly. But he didn't look back and ask Ryuquan what to do next, because in that case, if someone suddenly opened the door behind the door and attacked him, his turn back would give his opponent an opportunity, and he would not give him such a chance if he was cautious.

But Liu Quan, who was standing a few steps behind him, had already noticed his movements. And the situation of this Honmaru that no one answered the door was too strange, and she decisively ordered, "Since there is no one to open the door for us, we have to be rude to Ichi-kun, please break the door forcibly." If the other party is to blame afterwards, I will take responsibility. ”

Yizhen silently bowed his head, and then spread his five fingers with his left hand, placed it flat on the door, and pushed it hard

To everyone's surprise, the door was pushed open so easily

Yizhen didn't seem to expect that breaking the door would be so easy to complete, he was slightly stunned for a moment, and then showed a vigilant look, his right hand clenched the handle of the knife at his waist, and took the lead in stepping into the door.

He stood at the gate, slowly looking around, as if vigilantly scanning the surroundings for anything suspicious, and after a moment he raised his voice slightly without looking back, his right hand not taking his hand off the hilt.

"Please come in, master. It doesn't look like there's any danger here. ”

Hearing this, the Three Days Moon Sect lowered the arm that was blocking Liu Quan.

However, as soon as his figure moved slightly, Liu Quan quickly bypassed his side and walked in front of him.

"Three days and moons, please Your Highness. Her voice was cold, and it was completely a businesslike tone when she was on a mission.

"Although it is not the samurai's work to sneak up from behind, the time-traveling army will not care about this. ”

The footsteps of the Three Days Moon Sect paused slightly, and seeing that the female god judge had already stepped into this strange Honmaru, she stood behind the first phase of Ichizhen before she walked towards the gate.

In this way, the three of them maintained a full alert posture and slowly walked through the courtyard, all the way to the direction of this Honmaru hall.

However, nothing happened along the way, in other words, this Honmaru was eerily silent.

In contrast to the Honmaru under the command of Yanagizumi, where all kinds of laughter and laughter are often heard, and the little shorts of the Fujishiro family are playing everywhere, and the day is so lively that there is no quiet place, this Honmaru is as quiet as a dead land.

Three days and moon Zong's eyebrows became more and more wrinkled. As he walked in the courtyard, he suddenly let out a similar exclamation of unknown meaning.

"The dead leaves on the pool, and no one has cleaned them up, there must be something terrible going on in this Honmaru. ”

Before Liu Quan could agree to this speculation, Yizhen, who was walking in the forefront, suddenly stopped.

Willow Springs

She was walking behind the side of Ichijo, so his form slightly blocked part of her vision, and now that he had suddenly stopped, she had to brake hard to avoid hitting his back.

"What's wrong, what's going on?"

Her words were cut off suddenly.

Because at this moment, she suddenly saw what scene forced Yizhen to stop suddenly.

In front of them, a huge cherry blossom tree grows in the courtyard. On a thick branch stretching out of the tree, a swing hangs. Obviously, that swing was set up for the little shorts of the Fujishiro family in this Honmaru.

Now, however, the rope on one side of the swing has broken, so the swing board that is suspended by the rope on only one side is hanging diagonally in the air.

Underneath the swing, several short knives are scattered

Liu Quan gasped.

She immediately subconsciously looked at the back of Yizhen, but found that the other party's back seemed to be stiffened, and the line of the right arm holding the handle of the knife at her waist looked extremely unnatural, as if she was holding the handle of the knife so hard that her arm almost spasmed, as if only by doing so could she order herself to temporarily calm the anger and sorrow that suddenly surged in her heart.

She couldn't help but take a step forward, stood beside Yizhen, hesitated, and reached out to pat his right arm, which was already so hard that it almost spasmed, as if comfortingly.

"Ichi-kun" she called hesitantly, but then she didn't know what to say.

But this sound seemed to suddenly regain his consciousness, and his body shook slightly, and he immediately turned his head to look at her.

Willow Springs

She saw that for the first time, there was such a clear expression of anger and pain on the face of her good brother Yiyi, who was always gentle and gentle. The sadness hidden in the depths of his eyes was so intense that it even made his dark golden eyes look dim.

He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to call her, and as if he had not thought for a moment what to call her, so that he could feel a little comforted, and finally, he lowered his eyes slightly, and his usually soft voice trembled slightly.

"How so," he whispered.

Liu Quan looked at him in embarrassment, and for a moment felt that language had such a moment of paleness and weakness, and he couldn't think of how to comfort this good brother who had watched his younger brothers turn into the main knife again and lie quietly on the dirt.

She looked at Yizhen in vain, and thought for a full ten seconds before she squeezed out a sentence.

"I promise, I'll find out why"

Ichijo didn't answer her, but his breathing slowly became very heavy, as if he was barely suppressing a deep, powerless sadness in his heart.

Three days Moon Sect suddenly spoke behind them.

"It looks like something very strange has happened in this Honmaru. ”

The gentle voice, which was usually smiling, was now low and cold. His tone sounded serious.

"I'm going to take a look around. It can't be that only the short knife has suffered such a fate, and from the time we came in until now, this Honmaru has been too quiet. ”

Liu Quan looked back at him and nodded slightly at him.

"Then I'll go and have a look on the other side. She said, "We'll meet here later." The first phase of Jun will stay here for the time being."

"Nope. A shake suddenly spoke. That clear voice was gone, and his voice sounded low and hoarse.

"I can't stay out of this kind of thing that happened to my brothers, just be sad," he said, clenching the hilt of the knife at his waist and turning around, as if a small flame was burning in his bright eyes.

Liu Quan sighed, knowing that maybe sending him some tasks now would make him feel better, so he simply ordered, "Then, the first phase of the inspection will be in charge of the inspection." I'll go to the lobby and have a look. ”

Yizhen and Sanri Yuezong both bowed slightly, each clenched the handle of the body knife at their waists, and took steps in two diametrically opposite directions.

Liu Quan also lost the mood to see them leave. She took a deep breath and strode in the direction of the hall.

Walking on the promenade of this Honmaru, there is silence everywhere. When Liu Quan arrived at the hall, he saw several swords on the floor of the hall at a glance, ranging from swords to swords.

Then she wasted not a moment, and immediately turned and walked down the corridor, room by room.

However, there was no one in the sword room, dojo, kitchen, or warehouse.

There was only a sword lying quietly on the ground, as if to imply that something terrible had happened to this Honmaru.

Liu Quan finally came to the deacon office of the God Inquisitor.

At first, she didn't know that that room was the deacon room of the Honmaru God Judge. However, when she pushed open the shoji door with all her might, and at a glance saw a sincere flag hanging on the wall facing her, she immediately understood.

However, the office was empty.

Liu Quan didn't think about how rude it was to enter someone else's executive room without permission, and almost immediately stepped into the room and walked straight to the desk.

The papers on the desk were well organized. Liu Quan opened the top document, and his gaze subconsciously fell to the lower right corner

The signature there made her know in an instant who the god inquisitor who had disappeared from this Honmaru was.

Because in the place where the Inquisitor signed, there was a name.

"Hijikata years old".
