The two happily finished their dinner and rested for the night in the room arranged by Mrs. Kujo.

Early the next morning, after taking the thank-you gift they deserved, the two went back.

The two of them didn't dare to move, and when they saw something delicious and fun, they could only watch dryly, and with a good wish for the next time they went down the mountain, the two returned to Mt. Inari at noon.

Asking about the current location of the witch He Mao Fangsu, Tao Bao asked Ji Xiang to go back to rest, and he took a bag of thank you money to the courtyard where He Mao Fangsu lived.

Her house is built at the bottom of a small waterfall, and the scenery is not to mention, it is quite good.

The house is also much larger than ordinary shrine maidens, and there are witches waiting to be sent in front of the door, basically living the days of the overlord of Inari Mountain.

When the witch at the door saw Tao Bao coming, she bent down to salute her, helped her open the door, and raised her hand to invite her in.

This style is obviously what He Mao Fangsu has already advised.

Tao Bao took off his shoes and walked in, saw He Mao Fangsu sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the room making tea, walked forward slowly, stopped in front of her, knelt down, and put the money bag on the coffee table.

"My lord, this is a thank you gift from the Kujo Mansion. Tao Bao said lightly.

He Mao Fangsu wore a set of women's slender today, her hair was all scattered, her makeup was also light, and she only painted her lips, and the whole person looked very leisurely, and her cold aura was also eased a lot.

Seems to be in a good mood?

She poured two cups of tea unhurriedly, pushed one to Tao Bao, and motioned her to drink, then took the money bag and looked at it, took out a part and pushed it in front of Tao Bao, and put the rest aside at will.

"You deserve it. She spoke, and Tao Bao actually heard a hint of laughter.

Then she raised her head, looked directly at Tao Bao, and said, "This morning, Lord Liaotou ordered someone to send me a letter, asking me to fight in front of His Majesty the Emperor in three days, and I want to take you and Yui with me." ”

She didn't ask, she was just informing Tao Bao and didn't give her a chance to refuse.

Tao Bao doesn't mind, the more you go out and walk around, the more opportunities you have, hide clumsy or something, and score points. It is more beneficial to yourself to show a little edge appropriately.

The head of the liao in He Mao Fangsu's mouth should be He Mao Zhongxing, who is now serving as the head of Yin and Yang in the Yin and Yang Liao, since He Mao Fangsu wants to bring disciples, then He Mao Zhongxing must also take disciples.

Haruaki Abe is learning the way of yin and yang under him, and this is a great opportunity.

Without a long delay, Tao Bao nodded: "Do you need Baozi to prepare anything?"

He Mao Fangsu laughed lightly and looked at her with burning eyes, "You don't need to prepare anything, it's best if you prepare yourself." ”

"Yes, Takako knows. Tao Bao nodded in understanding.

Seeing this, He Maofang was in a good mood, invited Tao Bao to tea, and told her about the opponent's situation, so she was allowed to leave.

After going back, Tao Bao really didn't prepare anything, for her, to prepare or not to prepare, the opponent's end was already doomed.

That's a complete defeat!

Three days passed quickly, and on the day of the agreed fight, Kamo Yoshisu changed into a formal shrine maiden costume, led Tao Bao and Yui down the mountain on foot, and then rode an ox cart to Heiankyo to make an appointment.

As soon as the ox cart arrived at the gate of Heiankyo, a samurai came to pick him up, and Kamo Yoshisu led the two shrine maidens out of the car, escorted by the samurai, all the way to the palace where the emperor lived.

Since ancient times, the place where the emperor lived was magnificent, and the emperor here was equivalent to the emperor of the Han Dynasty, although the place where he lived was not as imposing as the Daming Palace of the Tang Dynasty, but it was much larger and more gorgeous than the place where the commoners lived.

He Mao Zhongxing and He Mao Fangsu are not fighting once or twice, and everyone is a little tired. But today, seeing that both of them came with their disciples, down to the civil and military officials, and up to the emperor and queen of the middle palace, they all began to look forward to it.

Tao Bao followed He Mao Fangsu to the main hall, and saluted step by step according to He Mao Fangsu's movements, fortunately, the status of the witch was not low, and she did not need to kneel, just bend slightly.

The hall was already full of people, and at the top sat the emperor and empress, as well as the inner prince Jingya. The inner prince in this Heiankyo is equivalent to the princess of the Han people, not the prince of the Han people.

The first person to stand in the emperor's hand was the yin and yang head Tadayuki Kashimo, as well as his son Kamo Hoken, and Abe Harumi.

He Mao Zhongxing also had a young son, but for some reason, he didn't bring him this time.

After the salute, He Mao Fangsu led Tao Bao Yui and the two stood opposite He Mao Zhongxing, as soon as the two cousins saw each other, the sharpness in their eyes almost reached the substance, and they cut each other with a knife.

Compared with the momentum of the two, the atmosphere between the disciples of the two sides was much more harmonious.

Abe Qingming saw Tao Bao appear on the other side, his eyes were full of consternation, but he knew that it was not easy to show it at this time, so he didn't say anything.

It's just that he is still secretly worried in his heart, and he has always been unwilling to admit defeat, but he can't help but be afraid.

Soon, however, this fear turned into a refusal to admit defeat.

The Emperor swept the hall, and when he saw that everyone was coming, he raised his hand and instructed the attendant beside him, "Since the two onmyoji have arrived, go and bring up the prepared things." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" the chamberlain bowed and retreated, and in a short time led his subordinates up like things.

There are futons, there are also low tables, and there are incense candles and other things. Two by two is logarithmic, and three pairs are placed opposite each other.

Seeing that everything was arranged, the Emperor smiled and said, "Let's start, we all can't wait to see you guys talk." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

He Mao Zhongxing responded first, led the two disciples to sit on the futon, and then looked at He Mao Fangsu with a provocative expression, "Sister Fangsu can choose her opponent by herself." ”

He Mao Fangsu was so excited that the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and the white powder on her face accidentally fell off, but her upper body was also white, and everyone couldn't see it if they didn't pay attention.

She glared at Kamo Tadayuki, and then bent slightly towards the Emperor.

"Since my brother said so, my sister is welcome. He Mao Fangsu smiled slightly, turned to look at Tao Bao and Yui, and with confidence in his tone, he ordered: "You two can choose your opponent by yourself." ”

"Can you choose anyone?" Tao Bao asked.

He Mao Fangsu nodded: "Yes!"

Tao Bao bowed his head to show that he understood, and in the surprised eyes of everyone, he walked straight to the futon opposite He Mao Zhongxing, knelt down, raised his hand and saluted, and said with a smile: "My lord, you can just let the horse come!"

The look of astonishment on Abe Harumi's face was fully revealed, not only him, but even the emperor was surprised, and asked in disbelief:

"Are you sure you're right?"

Prince Jing Yanai also looked suspicious, and asked in surprise: "Sister Shrine Maiden, are you sure that you are not going to choose Brother Baoxian or Abe Harumi?"

Tao Bao turned his head to look at them, smiled lightly, and asked, "Can't you choose Lord Hemao?" He said it himself, let us choose the opponent. ”

Everyone in the hall was stunned, isn't that it!
