Chapter 173: Return
"Drain and drain!"
The autumn rain is non-stop, and in this slightly cool weather, listening to the regular and rhythmic sound of the rain, people can't help but feel a little sleepy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In this kind of weather, it is best to stay in the bed and sleep in.
This is the only thought of the guards at the gates of the city at the moment.
Besides, when it's close to night, no one usually goes into the city.
Looking at the already dark sky, the guard couldn't help but sigh.
At least the duty is almost over, and when you go back, you should warm up with a pot of wine.
With a yawn, the guard was a little drowsy, and it didn't take long for his eyes to narrow.
"Excuse me, can the old man enter the city now?"
Some old voices rang in the guard's ears, and he couldn't help but startle him, and he couldn't help but feel sleepy.
When he opened his eyes and took a closer look, he found that at some point, an old man with a hat and a robe was already standing in front of him.
Although he is just an old man, but, for some reason, he always brings an uncomfortable feeling to himself.
It always feels a little dull and uncomfortable.
"Into the city? Well, you can. ”
"Name, occupation, and cost of entering the city!"
The words of work were spoken according to the process, and the guards took out things like pen and paper and ID cards, and prepared to take notes.
"Ahh I almost forgot, the old decay has a city entry permit, do you think this can be used? ”
A golden sign was handed to the guard in front of him, and the old man smiled slightly.
"Admission permit? How did I not know there was such a thing? ”
The guard glanced at the sign suspiciously, and then, quickly, his face froze.
"You, you are ......."
The guards suddenly became a little frightened, and began to be honestly frightened, and their attitude changed suddenly.
"Now, can the old man go in?"
"Yes! Of course! It's your stuff, please keep it! ”
The guard respectfully handed the sign back to the other party, bowing his head and not daring to look at it directly.
The old man seemed satisfied and stroked his sheep's beard, nodded, took back his things, and walked towards the city.
"Whew! Unexpectedly, that one actually came back, and it seems that [Kyoto] is going to be restless again recently......."
Looking at the old man's departing figure, the guard couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
However, it's useless to think about it too much, the struggle between big shots is not something he can meddle in at his level, so let's watch the excitement myself.
I only hope that this time, that adult will not always be right with His Excellency [Great Onmyoji], this [Kyoto] really can't stand any toss anymore.......
No one knew the guard's little wish, and the old man who walked in the city walked very leisurely on the deserted streets as if he were walking.
It was raining, but there was no drenched spot on his body.
The rain, when it fell near him, for some reason, was automatically bounced off.
"It's been a long time since I've been back, and [Kyoto] hasn't changed much......
The old man sighed, as if he was missing something.
"However, there is such a heavy demonic aura in the [Imperial City], don't tell the old man that you haven't noticed it, Your Excellency Qingming!"
"What the hell are you trying to do.......
With a sneer, the old man's figure disappeared directly into the street.
The rain continued to fall, as if no one had ever existed here before, and the streets remained empty.
However, this is nothing more than the so-called, "calm" before the "storm".
―――――――――――――――
"Hey! Qingming, you guy, you're in the wrong place! ”
Bai Ye looked at each other a little speechlessly, this old fox was distracted just now, otherwise how could he make such a basic mistake.
"Ahh I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Even if you lose this game, Your Excellency Bai Ye's chess strength seems to have improved recently! ”
Qingming lost his mind slightly, and then showed an apologetic smile at Bai Ye.
"Huh? If you are flattering, at least you have to be sincere, what are you doing! ”
Bai Ye glanced at the other party angrily, and then he was not interested in playing.
"Forget it, it's almost time to go back depending on the time! This is what you said, I won this game, so the current score is 300 to 100 and 9, don't forget! ”
Of course, the one hundred and nine is him, no way, Qingming's guy is really good at layout, and in more than 100 games, Bai Ye almost won narrowly.
In short, if you can't find a field in terms of strength, you plan to get it back from your chess skills, and as a result, you still don't want to lose.
Pouting unhappily, Bai Ye got up, planning to buy some fried tofu when he stopped by.
Because, once I brought that thing to Tamamo before, that guy seemed to be addicted, and asked to bring it every time the white night passed.
For this reason, Bai Ye also tried it a few times, and felt that it tasted good, so he developed a temporary habit and liked to eat it.
Should I say, was it taken badly.......
But why do foxes like to eat fried tofu, and where did it originate?
Pushing open the door and finding that it was raining, Bai Ye borrowed an umbrella from the attendant of the Qingming family and planned to leave.
"You're going to leave, guy?"
"That's right! What's the matter, can't you bear me, little sister Saya? ”
Bai Ye opened the umbrella and laughed.
"Who, who's in charge of you! You guy, you come to bother my brother every day, Miss Ben wishes you could get out of here! ”
It seemed that he had been told something, and Saya's face was a little red, but in the eyes of Hakuya, he should have been angry.
Shaking his head and smiling indifferently, Bai Ye stepped into the street, and the figure gradually disappeared into the rain.
"What, that guy!"
A little angry stamped his feet, and Saya glanced at the vanishing aspect of the white night with some resentment, and then ran back to his room.
"Hmm..... Did you actually come back at this time.... His Excellency ....... Daoman"
In the study, Qingming tapped the folding fan, and the brilliance in her blue eyes flowed.
"And it seems that the strength has also increased......
No, no! There is no room for error now, but now that the man is back, with his temperament, it is estimated that many things will be performed in advance.
Got a little headache.......
Leaving no trace of his brows, Qingming couldn't help but exhale.
There is no way, if it really comes to that point, the only way to do it is to implement the "plan" in advance.
And lately, Lord White Night seems to have gotten too close to that one, which is not a good thing......
The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox is the source of trouble, and if you get so close, Your Excellency White Night, you will destroy yourself too.
When the time comes, for the sake of the future of Kyoto, I can only do that........
