"From Torajiro's statement, it can be deduced that the reason why Toki Mei risked her life to return to Mino Country should be to deal with that demon sword." Late at night, Yue'er, who had sent away Torajiro, said to Qin Heqing.

After all, Mino Province is now ruled by Saito to Sansho. Although Saito was a retainer of the Toki family at the beginning, and the reason why he was able to take Mino Province so smoothly was also because Toki Yorii was too weak, it does not mean that he can continue to tolerate the people of the Toki family who continue to make trouble when he ruled Mino.

Otherwise, what would he do in exile to Toki Laiyi?

Is it true that Michizo Saito won't kill people?

"I know." Qin Heqing nodded in affirmation.

"It's just who she's going to deal with? It doesn't seem that there are any well-known onmyoji, or onmyoji groups, on the side of Minokoku. ”

"Then I don't know." Yue'er shrugged her shoulders and said, "But one thing is clear to me. ”

"What?" Qin Heqing wondered.

"The genius military master Shigeharu Takenaka is the descendant of the Takenaka branch of the Toki clan, if you want to find Shigeharu Takenaka, you may be able to get some news from the mouth of that Toki Mei." Yue'er reminded.

"She'll tell us?" Qin Heqing asked in surprise.

"Then it depends on your abilities." Yue'er smiled.

"Forget it, it's better to let it be, it's too deliberate, it's not beautiful."

"Whatever you want."

Then there was no word for a night, and the next day came in a blink of an eye.

"My lord, the eldest lady of our family wants to see you." At breakfast, the middle-aged man Torajiro came to the fire where Qin Heqing and the others were again, and said to Qin Heqing with a respectful face.

"Now?" Qin Heqing was stunned.

It's not that his mind is sinister, but in the current medical environment of this era, Qin Heqing really finds it hard to believe that Tokimi, who has a broken arm and a lot of dust, can survive the high fever and other reactions after that, and he will wake up smoothly after the night......

Should I say, is it worthy of being a demonized woman, her vitality is really strong and unusual.

"If it's convenient for you."

"Okay then."

With that, Qin Heqing stood up and was led by Torajiro to Tokimi's dilapidated convoy and saw Tokimi in an intact carriage.

The face is pale, there is no blood, but the body is still clean, the clothes have been obviously changed, and I don't know if she did it herself, or someone else's help, in short, it doesn't affect the perception.

"The little woman Toki Mei has seen an adult." Seeing Qin Heqing, Toki Mei didn't use Torajiro's introduction, so she straightened her posture, bowed, and greeted Qin Heqing.

"Don't give a salute, you don't look at your own state. It's a serious injury and you're still tossing like this, how you don't want to live anymore. Seeing this, Qin Heqing hurriedly got up and held it up, and reprimanded in a tone full of blame.

"Excuse me, my lord." Seeing this, Toki Mei also got up and sat down in the carriage.

"Tell me, what do you want to see me?" Qin Heqing didn't pay attention to it so much, and looked directly at Tuqimei's tired gaze and asked bluntly.

"I asked Torajiro to invite you over, firstly, I want to thank you personally, if it weren't for you and your companions, our group would have become lonely ghosts, and we would have been eaten as food by someone or animal. Second, I hope that you can return to me the ghost knife that was taken away by your companion before, of course, not in vain. I think you already know my identity, so you can take this opportunity to put forward some conditions, as long as I and the Toki family behind me can do it, I will definitely not refuse. Mitsuki said with a solemn spirit.

"Ghost Toru, is that the name of the knife?" Qin Heqing looked at Tuqimei with interest for a while, and then asked slowly.

I don't know if it's a problem with this time and space, or if the genes of the aristocratic women of the island country in this world are really good, although Tuqimei is about the same height as the island women of later generations, they are more than one meter five and less than one meter six, but their appearance is not too bad, at least they can get into his Qin and Qingyan, so that he will not even have the idea of contacting her.

"Yes."

"I'm curious, as the daughter of the original guardian, why did she bring such a knife on the way back to the clan land, can Miss Toki tell me?" Qin Heqing flipped his hand and conjured up a demon knife named Oni Che and held it in his hand, and while gently stroking the blade, he looked at Tuqi Mei who subconsciously fell on the demon knife and asked.

"I guess my family knows what happened to me." Tokimi was silent, and after being silent for a while, she raised her head with a wry smile and said.

"I've heard of some."

"Although a large part of the reason for all this is because my father is not a qualified family governor, and he is far inferior to the current Mino guardian Saito Michizo in terms of political methods and mental skills, I am not willing to accept my fate, especially after the family was exiled from Mino and joined the Oda family, and after meeting Oda Shinna, I realized that even as a woman, I can become a family governor and lead the family to revival!"

"That's why I want to take revenge on Michizo Saito and take back Mino Country." Tokimi stated with a look of resentment.

"But I know that a woman who has not received much martial arts training alone, except for the female infrared, can be said to be useless in terms of martial arts, can not realize this wish at all, so I thought of the family legend, a legend about Onitoru, so I found this knife from the family's secret vault, and prepared to take it back to Mino, to find the half-guard of the Takenaka clan, who is close to my Toki family, and want her to help me control this legendary knife, and then gain its power to become a demon sword ......"

"Takenaka Hanbei...... You mean Shigeharu Takenaka? Does she have what it takes to seal this knife? Qin Heqing was surprised.

The first is that he didn't expect to hear the news about the genius military advisor and military general Shigeharu Takenaka from Tokimi's side so easily, and the second is that he didn't expect that the Takenaka Hanbei in this era seems to be very simple, not only has a high IQ, but also seems to have extraordinary power!

This is very different from what he has recorded in history.

"Yes, she's an onmyoji, and she's a genius." Tokimi nodded and replied in the affirmative.

“……”

"So your next goal is to find the Takenaka Hanbei?" After a moment, Qin Heqing asked again.

"Yes."

"I can return the knife to you, but I have one condition."

"What?" Tokimi asked.

"I'm going to see the Takenaka Hanbei, so I'll be with you for the rest of the trip until I meet the Takenaka Hanbei." Qin Heqing said simply.
