Late at night.

Shui Wuyueqi put down the documents in his hand and leaned back on the back of the chair, showing a tired look.

Saori hurriedly stepped forward and replaced the tea on the table that had already been cold on the table, and then walked around behind Shui Wuyueqi and pinched Shui Wuyueqi's shoulders knowingly.

Shui Wuyuekai closed his eyes, and suddenly said, "The medical ninja in the clan will be handed over to you in the future." ”

The strength of Saori's hand didn't change at all, and she agreed softly, "Hmm." ”

Immediately, Saori's lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something. It's just that after looking at Shui Wuyueqi's face, he didn't say anything.

Although Shui Wuyueqi closed his eyes, he still seemed to be aware of Saori's desire to speak, and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

The movement of Saori's hand stopped, came to Shui Wuyue Qi's body, and whispered, "Qijun, Sister Qianxia, it seems that she is not willing to marry the son of a daimyo. ”

Mizuki Kai opened his eyes, gently hugged Saori into his arms, and then buried his face in Saori's long hair. After a long time, Fang Fang's voice came out, a little muffled, "You go and deal with it, just don't hurt her." ”

……

At the same time, the Land of Water was on the side of the mainland.

In the dense forest, several shadows as fast as lightning suddenly appeared, and then quickly ran forward among the trees.

Suddenly, the person at the front of the line waved his hand, and the people behind immediately stopped silently.

The man at the front waved his hand again, and immediately one of the people in the group nodded, and then slowly moved forward with a cat's waist.

Then the man made a seal on his hands and pressed them to the ground. After a few breaths, he stood up again, came to the side of the man who took the lead, and whispered, "Yes, my lord, it should be them." ”

The man he called "Adult" grinned slightly, looked up at the moon that had long been quietly hidden behind the dark clouds, and whispered: "Ladies and gentlemen, the future of the future rests on you." ”

As he spoke, he raised his right hand and slammed it in mid-air.

Seeing his gesture, everyone immediately silently divided into several squads, and then moved forward from different directions.

In the hazy moonlight, only a six-sided snowflake emblem could be faintly seen on the backs of these people.

……

The orange flames burned silently, with the occasional "crackling" sound of the wick exploding.

This would have been an extremely unusual thing in such a wilderness, but if one saw a few brightly dressed people sitting around the lamplight, he would probably not think so.

Taking a deep breath of the fragrant air around him with satisfaction, one of them said with a smile: "This Mita clan is really worthy of being a famous wealthy merchant in the whole country, this 'flower candle' used to be used exclusively by the Daimyo's mansion, I didn't expect that I would be able to try it today." ”

The other man did not show any satisfaction on his face, but said with a worried face: "This 'flower candle' smells too big, don't let those ninjas use this to find out our traces." ”

The man from before obviously felt that his companion was worrying, and said, "With our Shikijin presence, we can find their traces from afar." What's more,"

Speaking of this, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, involuntarily lowered his voice, and said, "Even if we make a mistake, even if it is a ninja, I am afraid that ordinary people will not be able to stop that adult." ”

As he spoke, he seemed to be trying to point out a direction to his companions, but suddenly found that several of his companions had their heads bowed tightly.

His heart sudden, and then, before he could do anything, he felt a palm on his shoulder, and his body trembled involuntarily.

Suddenly there was a burst of laughter like silver bells behind him, a voice that should have made people feel happy, but at this time it seemed to have an indescribable weirdness.

Then, a woman dressed in red squeezed into the middle of several people, and asked with a little curiosity: "What kind of candle is this, why is it so fragrant?" ”

He hurriedly squeezed a smile on his face, and replied with a flattering tone in his tone: "My lord, this thing is called 'Flower Candle', and various pollen are added to make it, which is why it is so fragrant. If you like it, I'll send you the rest later. ”

The woman shook her head and said seriously: "No need, this kind of thing will reveal its position, and probably only rookies with no combat experience will use it." ”

Speaking of this, the woman ignored the suddenly stiff faces of the people around her, and pouted outside, saying, "Now, there are dozens of ninjas waiting outside now, just waiting for us to go out." ”

What the!?

Hearing her words, several people around immediately stood up, and then immediately tried to summon Shikigami who was on guard outside.

In a few breaths, the faces of several people became extremely ugly, and they looked at each other, and they all understood that their respective Shikigami had been killed quietly.

Taking a deep breath, the onmyoji who had answered the woman's question earlier took the initiative to start and respectfully asked her, "My lord, what should we do now?" ”

The woman was now tying a sleeping little girl of about six or seven years old to her chest with a bandage, and at the same time constantly tying a knife behind her back.

Listening to the question of the onmyoji beside her, the woman seemed to feel a little strange, turned her head, and said in a relaxed tone: "Do you need to say this, of course it's killed." ”

As she spoke, she had already strapped eight knives to her back with her hands and feet, half on each side, and the whole person looked like a big spider standing up.

Then she turned to the others and said, "Isn't our job to keep this little girl safe?" Rest assured, with my ability, it's not that hard. ”

The onmyoji looked at each other, and one of them boldly asked, "Below, take the liberty of asking, I don't know if you are sure to deal with those ninjas outside?" ”

The woman tightened the little girl's bandage again, and then slowly pulled out the top two knives on her back, the corners of her mouth opened slightly, revealing her white teeth, and said, "Of course, because I'm strong." ”

As she spoke, she seemed to be worried that the few people on the other side would not believe it, and she added: "Better than all of you." ”

At the moment of the great enemy, these onmyoji naturally didn't care about this little bit of verbal detail, only to see them look at each other a few times, and said: "Since this is the case, when the siege breaks through later, the adult only needs to take her to escape as soon as possible." The rest of the enemies will be dealt with by a few of us. ”

As he spoke, he also stretched out his hand and pointed to the little girl who was tied to the woman's chest, to show that he really put the task first, so he made such a consideration.

The woman didn't seem to hear her words, and was looking at the double knives in her hand with her own care, and from time to time she was still slashing a few times in the air, and there was no sound between the movements.

Seeing that she didn't respond, the man couldn't help urging, "My lord, what do you think of this discussion?" ”

The woman seemed to notice what the other party was saying, only to see her glance at a few people with her eyes that had become a little scarlet silently, and said, "I fled with her, and then the enemies will naturally go after me, but you will have an easy end." ”

Several people's obscure thoughts were seen through, and they were a little embarrassed, but at the same time, they also invariably gave birth to a trace of ferocity in their hearts.

But before they could say anything more, the woman continued: "Don't worry, I alone can fight against all of them. I need a little help from you, though. ”

Speaking of this, her throat surged involuntarily, and she obviously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

At the same time, her gaze at several people also became brighter and brighter, and her eyes that seemed to be dripping blood emitted a fierce light.

Hearing her say this, several onmyoji did not feel relieved, but began to slowly get closer. Suddenly, the two sides began to slowly confront each other.

On one side were six or seven Onmyoji, and on the other side was a strange-looking woman with a little girl tied to her chest. It seems that this is completely incomparable. However, judging from the fine and dense beads of sweat on the foreheads of these onmyoji, it is they who have the upper hand.

Slowly, the woman in red raised the knife, but before she could make the next move, someone on the other side spoke first: "My lord, instead of working for that cripple, it is better to go somewhere else to seek wealth, and I and a few others are willing to become the subordinates of the adult." ”

The woman raised the knife and put it down again, and said seriously, "I'm not working for him, I'm making a deal with that samurai named Tsuruta Uto." He promised me that he would give me his knife as soon as I completed the task. ”

As she spoke, as if she didn't want to say any more, she gently lifted the tip of her knife up again and took a gentle step forward.

Seeing her move, the several onmyoji on the opposite side didn't have time to think about anything else, and immediately pinched their own tricks, or cast spells, or set up rune arrays, and a few very vicious looking Shikigods had already appeared.

It's just that these seem to be of no use to the woman.

I saw that after she took a step forward, it seemed that a lot of phantoms suddenly separated, and all of them surged towards this side at the same time.

These onmyoji were even more frightened when they saw it, and immediately began to cast defensive techniques in desperation. With their knowledge, they can naturally see that this is because people are moving too fast, and the afterimage is generated.

But the struggles of these Onmyoji magicians didn't seem to be of much use, and I saw that the twin knives in the woman's hands were actually attached to a layer of faintly reddish light, and with only a few swings, the defense techniques of the Onmyoji were shattered.

Onmyoji has always been known for not being good at melee combat, and now that he is close to his body by such a terrifying knife hand, the consequences are naturally needless to say.

After a while, the woman looked at the broken limbs and messy organs around her, and couldn't help but take a deep breath in intoxication, then raised the knife, stretched out her scarlet tongue, and after gently licking the blood on the knife, she said like a child who had eaten candy: "Well, this time it seems to be sweeter." ”

……

In the distance, smelling the increasingly thick bloody gas in the air, Shui Wuyue Liangping turned his body sideways, bowed his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "Miss Liuli, the enemy this time is not simple, it seems that you need to trouble you to take action personally." ”

Beside him stood a woman who looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, with only a delicate white chin exposed because of her hooded cloak.

Listening to Shui Wuyue Ryohei's words, she pursed her lips and didn't speak, but directly stretched her hand back and grabbed a huge long knife on her back. [.]
