83. Mystery dating
Today's wind is cold, and it can be said that it is piercing. Although I kept my collar tight, I couldn't control the chill that came out of my heart. It was now 10:42 p.m., and because of the cloudy sky, there were no stars and moons, and Nanmu Guangcheng and I were walking side by side in a mountain ten miles outside Ruojiang City, without any other entourage around us.
There are many boulders deep into the ground on the mountain road, and people have trampled on the upper side for a long time to grind the upper side very smoothly, and the horse's hooves make a crisp sound when they step on it, and the sound is heard far away in this silent night.
"It's really stupid...... "I already regret it before I started, although I know that the warbler will never hurt me, but I still beat the drum vigorously in my heart." But I'm afraid that this kind of mistake has been made by more than one person before me, and I will never stop after me, if he won't be a hero from time to time in front of the woman he loves, then he can't be said to be a man! The cause of the incident still starts after meeting Mochizuki Yoshito yesterday......
************************************************
"Warbler, do you feel anything wrong?" I went to Ying's bedroom and saw her reading a book on a stack of pillows, her brows furrowed tightly, and she looked very attentive.
"Sister Xianzhi won't let me go anywhere, let people follow me all day long, and they will suffocate me to death!" Ying put the book in her hand on the pillow and said to me coquettishly: "You talk to Sister Xianzhi, let me relax!" ”
"I don't think I think you care enough!" I sat down next to her and took one of her hands. "What was going on yesterday? You took advantage of the maid's carelessness to run to the verandah on the top floor, don't you know how hard the wind is outside now? What should I do if I freeze bad? I'm going to rule now: you can move up to the hallway outside the bedroom door in the future! ”
"I knew that it was useless to tell you!" She leaned over to me. More than nine months of pregnancy has made her abdomen very prominent, but I don't know why the child is not big and she has a martial arts background, and her body does not look clumsy during general activities. "Adults, you must know that my bad mood will affect my children!"
"Are you complaining that I haven't been with you often lately?" I laughed and joked about her. "That's a remiss on my part, tell me about it! There's nothing I can do but ask! ”
"Didn't you mean something on purpose?" The warbler shook my arm vigorously as she spoke.
"That's right!" I suddenly noticed one more thing. "Where's your valet gone? How can you be left alone? ”
"I want to eat something sour, so I'll ask Ah He (the maid's name) to get it!" As he spoke, Ah He walked in with a plate of oranges, she was about eleven or twelve years old, and she was well-behaved and white. Ying's original didn't have a special maid, and she found one in Kyoto after she became pregnant. As for why she had to go to Kyoto, it was Senshiba's opinion, who said that the girls there were generally better educated.
"Your Excellency!" She called me and held the orange in front of the warbler. "Madame, please use it!"
"Wait!" I picked one up and pinched it, then put it on my cheek and tried it. "It's freezing so cold and a little dry! Take it to the kitchen and let them put it on the cage drawer and steam it! ”
"You're going to spoil me like that!" After Ah He left, Ying said to me, although she had a bright smile on her face, there were tears in her eyes.
"It's not a big mistake to spoil your wife!" I patted her little white hand and picked up the book she had just read. "Recently, things at home have been busy, and I may not be able to spare time to accompany you sometimes, and Xianzhi is also working hard all day long. If you're bored, you can draw, practice, and read books...... "My gaze swept over the cover of the book, and it was actually a copy of "The Divine Mechanism Enemy Taibai Yin Sutra". "What do you think of this kind of book? It's too much of a brainstorm! "I haven't read much of such a difficult and obscure ancient military book.
"As a samurai, even a woman must have the necessary awareness!" Ying didn't think about it. "Especially a martial artist who is in troubled times, if you want to prosper, you must work together!"
"If only someday...... I said 'what if'! "I'm afraid she will misunderstand, so I hurriedly added." I'm defeated and killed, I'm just saying a possibility! As a samurai, there should have been this kind of awareness, Kiyomori entered the Taoist Xiangguo before his death, and the defeat of the Heike family was only a few years; Jiulang Yoshitsune is invincible, and the end is also miserable. These are all far away, in recent decades, Hosokawa Harumoto, Miyoshi Chokei, Niko Haruma, Ouchi Yoshitaka, Tao Haruto, all the way to Imagawa Yoshimoto, which is not a prestige, and which one is not a tragedy? I mean, what would you do if I had that day? ”
She looked at me for a long time and didn't speak, but tears flowed down her eyes.
"It's all my fault, I shouldn't talk about such a heavy topic! Don't cry, be careful! I was at a loss for what to do and hurriedly persuaded him.
"If there really is a ...... day" Ying looked sad, but said in a resolute tone: "I will live well, help Sister Xianzhi raise the young master to adulthood, and watch him revive the Zhuxing family with my own eyes!" ”
"Warbler!" I pulled her into my arms, and my eyes were a little moist.
"My lord, what's wrong with you?" The warbler leaned her head against my chest and asked softly. “…… Did you encounter any difficulties, why did you feel a little depressed? Can you tell me about it? ”
"There are some things, but it's not a big deal...... I told him what happened as if I was relieved, but I just took out the terrible consequences of the comeback of the Miyoshi family, and finally said with a relaxed appearance: "Since there is no way, forget it, and let them be at ease for a few more days!" ”
"My lord, I may be able to find a way to ......" Ying suddenly raised her head, tears in her eyes. It's just that...... Can you fully trust me? ”
"Look at what you say!" I laughed. "What else can you not believe! Are you trying to recommend someone to me? ”
"Yes! They are all people with magical abilities. ”
"Then let them come!" I didn't pay much attention to it, and I responded casually. "I'll let your brother arrange it, and I'll make sure they're satisfied!"
"Nope! It's up to you to see them in person! Ying straightened up and said with a solemn face: "And you must go alone!" ”
"They?" I was taken aback by her expression, and was silent for a long time before I cautiously asked, "Could it be that 'they' are...... Mirage? ”
"Yes!" This time, the warbler actually nodded immediately in acknowledgement, without the slightest hesitation or concealment.
"Can they really solve my dilemma?" I asked uncomfortably.
"As far as I know, 'they' can do anything!"
"Really...... Do I have to go alone? I asked tentatively. I can't help but feel a little terrified about dealing with such a mysterious organization.
"Unless...... I'm going with you! ”
"Then I'll go by myself!" I said helplessly.
****************************************************************
"Huh?!" Immediately, a jolt and a call from the light of light woke me up from my contemplation, and I shook my head vigorously to drive the clutter of thought out of my mind.
"Lord, what's wrong with you?" Kusunoki Mitsunari pulled the mount and asked with concern.
"Nothing, I remembered something!" I don't know why my mind is so messy today, maybe it's just instinct.
"Oh......" He didn't ask, but urged the horse to follow again.
"That's right! Guangcheng, do you know the details of the 'Mirage Thousand Nights'? "I don't think there's any reason why he shouldn't know about it since his father and sister knew about it.
"Know a little! I was a minor when my father died, and I didn't have time to explain a lot of things. The reason why the warbler knows them is because he has lived there for a period of time since he was a child......" Kusunoki Mitsunari tried his best to recall, "From the details I heard from the side, they are quite a mysterious existence among ninjas, no one knows their true identity and nest, and even the ninjutsu they are good at are divided into different opinions, and this situation is especially serious after Koga was attacked. We Nanmu Stream have some extremely long relationship with them, as if they served a lord together a long time ago! ”
I'm a little frustrated, and his messages don't help me in any way.
"The warbler is really reckless this time!" Somehow, he suddenly came up with such a sentence.
"Is there anything wrong?" I am very concerned about his view.
"I can't say it accurately, maybe it's too much!" Kusunoki shook his head thoughtfully. "Judging from the legends, most of the things associated with the 'Thousand Nights of Mirage' are not good things, and many of them are the mysterious deaths of some big people! Although the warbler will never do anything against you, you should always make it clear so that everyone has a bottom in their hearts! ”
"Since there won't be any disadvantages, it doesn't matter, maybe people have some secrets that are inconvenient to disclose!" Although I comforted him like this, I was worried in my own heart, I don't know if these people will look at Ying's face and give me less "dismounting".
"Lord!" Kusunoki Mitsunari suddenly reined in the war horse. "Three miles ahead is the agreed place, and the horses can't move forward! Why don't I ...... with you?"
"No need!" I jumped off my horse and handed him the reins of the "gold". "Since we have promised to do it, we will do it, and besides, our Zhuxing family can't be looked down upon!" After saying that, I touched the darkness and walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
