On the back of a galloping horse, a young woman in a white hakama suddenly threw her dagger at a point in the crowd.

The short knife, about eight inches long, was held in her hand as if it were a kunai. She took control of the steed with the reins of her left hand, straightened her upper body, and threw the dagger with all her strength with her right hand—a strength that was definitely higher than that of the average woman, and a precise grasp and control of the direction and force of the throw.

However, she arrived too late.

There was a small "whoosh" sound in the air, and the blade of the sword flashed with a cold light reflecting the shadow of the sun at noon. At the same time, Fujiwara slammed back, taking several steps back, and the placket of his chest was cut open by the sharp blade of his opponent's blade, as if something hidden in his arms had slipped down, as if it had been split in two.

Fujiwara Taiheng let out a low cry of "uh!" and subconsciously covered his chest with his free left hand, however, it was too late!

The next moment, an extremely low "tuk" sounded, and the short knife flying in the air pierced the assailant's back with precision. Although the strength of the dagger had been almost worn away by the long flight, it was still enough to make the man let out a scream, reaching behind his back to cover the stabbed wound.

But he didn't have a chance. Because his eyes widened suddenly, Fujiwara Taiheng in front of him showed a sky-high anger, and stabbed his opponent in the heart with his hand-

The assailant let out a scream and fell to the ground, out of breath.

Fujiwara had barely had time to draw his knife back before the man fell to the ground when he heard the sound of horses' hooves beside him. No sooner had he turned his head than he saw the woman on the horse running towards him.

The closer she got to it, the more clearly he could see that she was riding his brother Guoheng's "Gao Yu Hei"!

Yasuhiro Fujiwara: "......"

And while he was still speechless, she had already come to him. Before the horse's hooves had completely stopped, she had jumped off the horse's back, and her body was extremely light and elegant.

Fujiwara Yasuhiroki glanced at her with a grimace, and his eyes instantly widened.

He stared blankly at her, the costume on her body, for a full three seconds. Then, as if suddenly remembering that he was in danger, not in a daze, he quickly looked away, hurriedly leaned down, and picked up the item that had fallen from his bosom to the ground because the placket had been torn before.

Liu Quan also followed his movements out of curiosity, and only then did he realize that it was a piece of paper that had been cut in half. There seemed to be some words written on the paper, but from her angle, she couldn't see anything clearly.

Liu Quan: ?

Is it important information? Or do you want to rush to the Infinite Light Temple to give a parting message to the Son of God?...... If it's a love letter, then he's too OOC, so let's ignore this option for now......

Suddenly, she heard the familiar, cold voice of Fujiwara Taiheng.

"What are you doing here?"

He acted as if she hadn't helped him just now. He glared at her with disgust, and as if his face was full of defensiveness, he tucked the two halves of the paper back into his arms, tightened the torn chest placket, and stood up again.

However, Yanagizumi, who had just bent down as he leaned down to pick up the piece of paper—no, Kujo Noriko—didn't get up, but reached over and picked up the knife that the man had used earlier, straight from the sneak attacker who had fallen to the ground and had just been dealt with by the two of them.

Yasuhiro Fujiwara: ?!

"Do you want to ...... What for?!" he squeezed the question through his teeth.

However, Kujo Noriko apparently didn't answer him properly. She straightened up with the enemy's sword, looked back and forth at the knife, nodded with a smile, and said, "It's really a good knife." Can any person with such a nice knife assassinate the governor of Oshu?...... This really made me gain insight~"

Yasuhiro Fujiwara: "You ——!"

He actually knew that this was not a good time to get angry with her. She also has a point.

When he galloped here with a team of few guards today, he originally just thought that the Infinite Light Courtyard was already very close, and if he rushed over now, it might be too late, and there was nothing abnormal in the sky along the way, and if the Divine Son wanted to return to the present world, then she would have to summon the white dragon to make a wish, so it was still time to catch up-

Then, in the woods beside the road, there jumped out of the woods that ambushed him.

They kept saying that they were people who had received the favor of the former commander-in-chief, Hidehiro, so they hated Fujiwara Yasuhiro, who was rumored to have assassinated his father because he was eager to inherit the power of the Oshu Fujiwara clan. The great rebellion he did to his father must also be avenged on himself, this is the principle of heaven-

Hum. What heavenly principles, what kindness, what great rebellion, but they are all excuses.

Fujiwara scoffed at this.

Of course, he knew in his heart that as soon as his father died, many people in Oshu were ready to move. And he was still too young to reach the power and influence that his father had to control the entire land of Mutsu, although he finally controlled the military affairs of the entire Oshu, but the Kamakura Hall was pressing step by step...... In this case, there are some people in Oshu who want to change their minds, some who want to change their minds, some who want to replace them—in short, all kinds of despicable ideas will come to mind.

However, that doesn't mean he's going to sit still.

As long as...... As long as after today, let him send off Miko well, and after he has finished a matter of concern, he can leave all the things that have troubled him for a while and upset him behind, and free up his hands to rectify the military affairs of Oshu, take on the responsibilities that he should bear as the commander-in-chief, and deal with Kamakura Hall to the end.

Although he didn't quite understand where and what the things that upset him came from, his instincts told him that if he saw the scene of Miko's return to this world, he would definitely come up with the answer.

However, he must pass the current hurdle before he can talk about anything else.

He knew that this was most likely a conspiracy against himself, but he did not expect that this conspiracy would be launched today.

He didn't expect that when this conspiracy trapped him, the first to come to his rescue was the nine rules.

...... Or rather, why did she catch up? Was it because she also wanted to see off Miko, or did she want to be there to personally monitor his farewell to Miko out of some complicated emotion? or—

Did she know that someone was going to attack him today——??

However, this doesn't make sense.

If she wanted him to die, wouldn't she just not help him when she was in Taisha? She didn't even have to do it herself, as long as Mrs. Masako gave a warning when she entered Taisha, she could put him to death while ensuring her own safety.

What kind of person is Kujo Noriko, ......?!

Sensing that he was distracted for a moment, Fujiwara Yasuhiro suddenly became angry. The anger mixed with mockery and self-blame for himself, as well as the distressed and incomprehensible emotions of Kujo Noriko's behavior, made his expression look even colder for a moment.

"Hmph," he said coldly, "it's been like this for a long time. It's all stupid. ”

Noriko Kujo looked very surprised for a moment. She held the sword she had picked up from the enemy in her right hand, and crossed her waist with her left hand on her hip, revealing a somewhat incredulous expression.

"You...... Are you talking about me?!"

Fujiwara snorted.

"The final result of participating in the war is nothing more than giving up your life in vain. What can a guy like you do?"

Noriko Kujo also learned from him, humming louder than he did.

"Hmph, didn't I just save your life? How can I say I can't do anything?" she sneered.

Fujiwara Taiheng: "You ......! Don't be too presumptuous!"

Her retort showed her stupidity and stubbornness, as if she were the complacency of a naïve child who did not know the height of the sky, and the anger in his heart burned even more under the cover of his cold exterior.

However, in a hurry, they only had time to say these two words to Biao, and then they resumed the battle with those ill-intentioned assassins.

...... From time to time, you can hear the roar of Yasuhiro Fujiwara.

"Hey, watch behind you, don't be opportunistic!"

...... and the crisp counterattack of Noriko Kujo.

"Ahh

Then there was a series of metal clashing blades, the dull sound of sharp blades cutting into human flesh, and the chaotic sound of footsteps, the sound of scolding from the plackets of the clothes, the sound of the wind, the screams of people before they died—

"Ahh

Then there is the light voice of the woman.

"Good! Solve another one!"

Yasuhiro Fujiwara: "......"

He felt as if he should be taken aback now. However, when she thought back to the heroic battle of the resentful spirits and monsters she summoned at the Taisha Shrine and the Tujini Heaven, she felt that she should not be surprised.

As at that time, she was dressed in unorthodox clothes, holding a knife firmly in her hand that should be a little heavy for women, and swinging it again and again with a convincing, skillful and methodical posture, using her light posture and quick reflexes to evade the powerful attacks of opponents who were stronger than herself, preemptively predicting the opponent's moves and making targeted responses before the opponent attacked her, sometimes even at the risk of being slashed. It is also necessary to grab a better time and angle to attack, the beautiful face that usually always has a hint of careless arrogance is tense at the moment, the delicate long eyebrows are slightly suppressed, and the eyes radiate a light as sharp as the sword in the hand.

There were at least twenty or thirty people lying in ambush here ready to assassinate him. And he only brought seven or eight guards and retinues with him today. I thought it was just an ordinary activity trip to the Infinite Light Temple, but now it has become a nightmare that will harvest his life at any time-

Until, the woman whom he should have guarded against more than anyone else, rushed out of the forest at the top of the hill and galloped towards him, riding on the good steed that had obviously been snatched from his brother.

For a moment, he even had a very strange thought: since Kamakura Hall had taught her so well, then ...... Is it ...... to marry such a person just to him as a side room Don't you think it's a waste? Could it be that in the mind of Kamakura Palace, the status of the Oshu Fujiwara clan is already so important?

He parried the blade slashed by a blurred assassin, and then slowly flipped his wrist with his arm to force the blade of the opponent to turn the knife in his hand at an angle, and then withdrew his hand, taking advantage of the opponent's loss of center of gravity, and simply sent the tip of the knife into the opponent's chest.

He snorted coldly, pulled the knife back from the opponent who fell to the ground, shook off the blood beads on the blade with a flick of his wrist, and then took advantage of the moment when no one attacked him to subconsciously glance at the nine rules that were also in the middle of the battle-

This glance was enough, and the taut string in his mind almost snapped at a glance.

The author has something to say: August 4:

Sorry for being late today, the fight scenes I wrote at the beginning were a bit ...... It doesn't feel interesting enough.

Today, I went to listen to Yao 3's horse catch, and I feel that Taiheng is actually a person who thinks about his friends very seriously in his heart, but others always don't appreciate it very much

Actually, he's very good! The character song is also very good! The song at the end of the Bo Sakura Ghost Roll is actually Tae Heng's character song w
