Late at night, everyone had rested, and Asuka Zhixin sat alone on the dragon chair, kneading his sore and swollen temples vigorously. A young man slowly walked into the quiet hall, he was about 1.8 meters, with a well-proportioned figure and a haircut.

"Sovereign, the princess is asleep. ”

"Oh, Shuxi, you're here. ”

Asuka Zhixin blinked his teary eyes, as a monarch, he worked very hard, even if he stayed up late until now, there were still a few volumes of documents that had not been approved. It is easy to look at them, but it is difficult to give solutions, and mental work is sometimes more tiring than physical work.

"Yes, sovereign. ”

"Sit down!"

"Monarch Xie. ”

"Sovereign, it seems that Her Royal Highness the Princess has not stopped practicing swords because of your return!"

The young man named "Shuxi" is about eighteen years old, not particularly beautiful, but his facial features are very neat, his face is not wrinkled, but his hands are full of calluses and wrinkles, as if he has experienced decades of vicissitudes.

"Anything else?"

"It's gone!"

Sakura Mori is only seventeen years old, and Asuka Zhixin cares about her growth, so he asks Shuxi to always be by her side to protect her in order to correct the mistakes she usually makes. When Asuka Zhixin returned from a month's absence, Shuxi talked for an hour about her daily life, and there were some things that he couldn't stop him, such as Xing Zeyuan teaching Sakura to practice swords.

"Monarch, although this matter is small, the impact is great! The minister has a private discussion, and if it continues like this, it will not be conducive to the future development of the princess!"

Shuxi is not very old, but he has experienced special education since he was a child, and now he thinks about things calmly and comprehensively, and his degree of observation is not inferior to that of some senior ministers.

"Do you have any good suggestions?"

"The prince is a reasonable person, just tell him the tradition of our Yamato country, the 'five no's' of women: do not disobey the elders, do not betray the husband, do not participate in political affairs, do not go to the military court, and do not raise weapons. These are eternal things, although there have been small changes in the past thousand years, but they have not lost the general, they can be violated by the people, but the monarch is the king of a country, and you must not make a breakthrough here, otherwise there will be a leading effect. Someone will definitely talk about it!"

What Shu Xi said made sense, Asuka Zhixin nodded, and said:

"Okay, I'll take care of it, you go down and rest!"

"Yes!"

Shuxi stood at the gate of the palace, looking at the bird on his back and said:

"The war is over, you can rest for a while!"

"Thank you, Monarch, no need, I will continue to keep the princess safe. ”

Shuxi departed, and only Asuka and a few ministers knew of his residence, and there was a small room next to Sakuramori's room, and a narrow door made countless passers-by think that it was just an ornament, but after that, it was a small bed, a simple desk, a closet, a lamp, and a stack of books.

There is no place for outsiders to stand in the small room, and the small bed can only sleep for one person, and the one-meter-eight study can't turn over when lying on it.

After making sure that Sakura was really asleep, Shuxi returned to his room.

Only separated by a wall, their hearts are separated. Shuxi knew that Sakura didn't like him, but it didn't matter, he had known her for fifteen years, and her dislike didn't change his desire to protect her.

When I was a child, the cherry blossoms would take Shuxi's hand and run around the palace. He played with her and took a nap with her, but when she grew up, he never held her hand again, let alone sat in the tree for an afternoon nap. Time flies too fast, and the little girl who has been sticking to herself in the past has grown up, looking like a flower, but she is getting farther and farther away from him!

Shu Xi could see that Ying Sheng liked Xing Zeyuan very much, but the latter didn't mean to fall in love with the former, so it was okay, otherwise he would definitely intervene. Shuxi and Sakura's identities are very different, he doesn't expect Sakura to be with him, but the person she falls in love with must be a Yamato countryman, a person like Xing Zeyuan, although he is very good, but he doesn't know when he will leave.

There were a lot of notes on the desk, all about Sakuramori, and Shuxi knew everything she liked to eat, and he knew which days of the month she would be worried. He knew everything about her, but Sakuramori was different, she didn't know her name yet.

Got along with each other as a child, left when he was a teenager, and returned when he was young, but he was no longer as close as he used to be.

He closed his eyes, covered himself with a thin blanket and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, before Sakura woke up, he had to get up. Shuxi will skillfully stand in some unnoticed corner and watch her make up, watch her smile in the mirror, watch her fiddle with her hair, watch her choose her favorite clothes, and when she changes clothes, Shuxi will bow her head and close her eyes, never peeping.

After a simple breakfast time, Shuxi will follow Sakuramori, watch her greet her parents, and then go to Xing Zeyuan, at this time, he will hold an umbrella and stand under a certain tree, feeling her happiness every second.

At first, she needed to study because Princess Sakuramori was alone in the palace without her peers. Later, he was needed because the war began, and someone had to protect the princess at all times, so he went through the most rigorous training for children in Yamato Country, and now, it seems that there is no need for study, but he still wants to stay with Sakuramori, because ...... Check in the bud!

Shuxi persuaded himself that he didn't dare to have the idea of loving her.

Xing Zeyuan's residence is in the depths of the palace, and no matter who comes in, it will not affect the normal life of the palace. He sensed Shuxi's presence and nodded slightly in his direction, and Shuxi responded in the same way.

While they were practicing their swords, a fiery soldier rushed into the main hall, knelt down on one knee and said to Asuka Zhixin:

"Sovereign, General Tiger Descends has sent a flying letter!"

"Read!"

"From time to time, yellow light emerges from the Weishui Strait between Green Bamboo Island and Nara Island, and this light has not been interrupted for two days, and the general can't solve it, so report it!"

"Summoning Minister Baitong. ”

"Yes!"

As the most knowledgeable person in Yamato Province, Minister Baiden often accompanied Asuka Zhixin by his side, and he was even there when he went to Nara Island some time ago, and after hearing the situation, he said:

"Legend has it that there is a sword hidden in the tail of the big snake, named Tiancongyun, I don't know if it's true. ”

"What's going on?"

"Like an iron sword, put golden light!"

"Exactly similar!"

"Well, and this place of light happens to be the place where the Eight Miscellaneous Great Serpent died. ”

Minister Belden said:

"The Tiancong Cloud Sword is an artifact with nine belts of inscriptions, and I hope the monarch will pay attention to it. ”

"Okay, got it!"

Asuka Zhixin immediately ordered that Tiger Descend investigate the matter, and he could not be sloppy. At the same time, Xing Zeyuan also knew about it.

"Heavenly Cloud Sword?"

Xing Zeyuan had heard of this sword, which was one of the few nine-belt inscriptions in the Star Yao world, but it had been missing for thousands of years, and the last time it appeared was in the East China Sea region. Since the sword that has been missing for so long has come out now, it sounds a little ridiculous, but since it is the answer given by the first strategist of Yamato Kingdom, he is willing to believe it.

"That's right, the monarch asked me to tell the prince that I hope you can go there after your injuries have healed!"

"No problem, but I have to wait for half a month, I hope the monarch will forgive me!"

"Understood!"

The soldier went down to report, and Sakura asked Hoshinobuchi.

"Is half a month really enough?"

The number of bandages on Xing Zeyuan's body is terrifying, and they all say that it hurts his muscles and bones for a hundred days, and by September, Xing Zeyuan has only rested for less than two months, and the time is not enough at all.

"Almost, just a little more!"

Xing Zeyuan didn't dare to joke with his body, he still wanted to keep himself and everyone together, so he couldn't be reckless.

"Okay!"

Sakura Sheng cared about him very much, and looked at him with tenderness, because Hoshinoribu had already held her heart for a long time.

Hundreds of miles away, Tiger Descend stopped the soldiers around him, put down his double knives and jumped into the sea.

The Weishui Strait is not wide, but it is unusually deep, after all, it is close to the East China Sea. Tiger Landing couldn't see the bottom of the sea, and there was only a burst of yellow light in his eyes.

When he reached thirty or forty meters, he was forced to swim to the surface.

"General, have you found anything?"

Tiger wiped the water from his face and shook his head.

"No! too deep!"

"General, why don't you call out the deputy team of the Horned Eagle Squad?"

"His injuries are not yet healed, and the monarch says it will be until at least September. Don't always think about relying on others, no matter what you face, you have to work hard first!"

The soldier lowered his head embarrassedly, and Tiger Descended said:

"But you have a good brain, and you deserve praise!"

"Thank you, General......"

"You keep the ship here, keep an eye on the situation here, and report any changes immediately!"

"Yes!"

Tiger Rappelling jumped from the big boat into the small boat with two swords in his hand, and swayed back to Nara Island.

"General, do you think it really will be the Tianyun Cong Sword?"

"I don't feel like it, that's just a mythical record! In mythology, Su Hu Wuzun made the Eight Miscellaneous Snake drunk, and then killed it, and found the Tianyun Cong Sword at its tail, no one knows if this is true or not?

"The general has a point. ”

The coast of Nara Island is getting closer and closer, and there is a lot of melancholy and worry in it. It's better to have nothing, oh my God, let Yamato be quiet and let it breathe quietly, it can't stand the toss now!

The sea area under the foam is extraordinarily calm, far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, and the shadow of the ship has also turned into a trace of darkness. Below, a horrific corpse lay in the darkness, and at its tail, a blinding light lit up.

The Great Serpent of Eight Strange Snakes headed towards the water, and the corpses in the water quickly dissolved, and in the rotting scaly snake tail, a sword like a sun star was stuck in it.

The legend is not completely fictional, it must have a real part, like the archetype that varies greatly after each story.

"I heard that the Tiancong Cloud Sword came out?"

The Eight Miscellaneous Snake is a well-known role among women and children in Yamato, and the Tiancong Cloud Sword is even more so. When Yunyi asked, the man who was standing beside her said:

"I don't know if it's true or not!"

"As long as you're there!"

Yunyi smiled at the man, and her husband returned safely and returned to her side. From now on, even if the sky falls, she will not be afraid. Gu Yu and Shishou Jimeng sat on the ridge of the field, pulling out the weeds on it.

"It's hard work, let's rest for a while!"

"Good!"

Holding his hand, Yun Yi's often low face bloomed with a smile.

"Dad, Gu Yu wants to hug. ”

"Come on, but Daddy's hands are dirty. ”

As he spoke, the man drew a mud mark on Gu Yu's broken face.

"Hmm~ Daddy is bad!"

Father picked up Gu Yu, Ji Meng walked behind them, looking at Gu Yu and smiling, he also smiled.

In the past, Gu Yu rarely coquettish, because she didn't want her mother to worry, because her mother was very tired, but now that her father is back, she can be coquettish to her father.

There is a kind of family affection called not seeing him for many years, but he can recognize him at a glance! When his father returned that day, Gu Yu recognized him a few hundred meters away. Xiao Gu Yu almost forgot what his father looked like, and it wasn't until he came back that the man in his mind was clear again.
