"Dominating the world? Is this the Qin clan finally accumulating enough strength to overthrow the emperor? The young man asked, a little surprised.

He also knows a little bit about Qin's encounter, in addition to the reason for the original Prince Shotoku, the main reason is that the power of the Qin family is too great, so big that the Taira and Genji who are emperors are also afraid, so there will be the later changes in Kyoto, so that the Qin family will collapse, and even the subsequent separation and diversion will appear, otherwise, even if the Qin family is not the Chinese family in the world, it should be a strong contender for Kyoto officials such as Guan Bai and Regent.

"This matter has nothing to do with the Qin family, but my personal thoughts." Qin Heqing shook his head and said.

"This kind of thing, even if you say that it has nothing to do with the family, others may not believe it."

"That's why I've been hiding and quietly accumulating strength." Qin Heqing nodded in acknowledgement.

This is the same as rebelling against the nine clans, it doesn't matter if you have anything to do with it, whether you participate or not, anyway, you can't escape, and if you are involved, you will consider yourself unlucky.

"So how much power does Your Excellency have now?" The young man asked curiously.

"Are the half-guards ready to serve me?" Qin Heqing asked with a smile.

"Not really. But that doesn't prevent me from examining your qualifications as a savage. The young man shook his head slightly.

"Then there is only one power in my hands that can be shown to the outside world now, Yamato." Qin He said lightly.

"Yamato? I don't know what the relationship between Matsunaga and Your Excellency is......"

"I can only tell you that I have reached an agreement with her, as long as Miyoshi Changqing dies, she has a great possibility to transfer to my command and help me conquer the world."

"That's really startling news." After a pause, he continued with a smile, "It's just that Your Excellency revealed to me this secret contract about Matsunaga's personal life so easily, aren't you afraid that I will announce it to the world?" ”

"I can't think of a reason why you'd do that."

"Maybe it's just a spur of the moment?"

"That half-guard is just such a person for me, and being able to see the half-soldier's personality in advance before the event is also a thing to celebrate for me."

"Half-Guard...... Listening to your meaning, you don't seem to think I'm a half-soldier himself? The young man's eyes narrowed, and he glanced at Tokimi, who looked nervous suddenly from his words, and said softly.

"The aura on you is too strong. Even if you're already trying to suppress its effect, its glow is still a bit too unconventional for humans, and I don't think that the Takenaka Hanbei, who is a genius onmyoji, will not be aware of this problem. ”

"Well, it looks like my disguise is really failing."

Then the young man got up, and a gray-haired girl wearing a white shirt and two bare legs walked out from the side of the screen standing behind the young man with red cheeks, and said to Qin and Qing Nuo with a bullying face, "Hello, I am Takenaka Banbei, I didn't come out to meet in person immediately, I was rude, please forgive me." ”

"Child...... I should have thought of it a long time ago. Qin Heqing smiled bitterly.

It was indeed long overdue. After all, even Oda Nobunaga is only a 16-year-old girl, and it makes no sense that Hanbei Takenaka, who is nearly ten years younger than Oda Nobunaga in history, is a mature male young man.

Even if history is problematic, it shouldn't be like this.

"I'm not a kid anymore." Hearing this, the real Takenaka half-guard immediately puffed out his cheeks and retorted angrily.

"Hey, you're not a kid anymore, it's me who made a mistake, I apologize." Qin Heqing responded perfunctorily.

"Do you still want to recruit my master?" At this time, the young man on the side walked up to the Takenaka half-guard and took the pressure from Qin and Qing's side for her.

"I don't know what your Excellency is called?" Qin Heqing asked rhetorically.

"Your Excellency can call me a former ghost."

"Well, ex-ghost, if the half-guards themselves are willing to come out, I don't mind accepting you as a member of my forces. It's just that you don't seem to have that idea. ”

"That's true." Hanbei Takenaka affirmed.

Not to mention the effect of the distance between Yamato and Mino Province similar to that of Emperor Tiangao, she herself has no intention of abandoning the Saito family and abandoning Mino Country to serve her directly.

This is not only because of her origin, the branch of the Daimyo Toki clan that guarded the Daimyo of Mino, but in a way, she is the essence of Mino Kuni. is also because of her current status - the lord of Bodhi Mountain City in Mino Country.

As the leader of a force, she would give up her good resources if she was stupid, and directly incarnated as a ronin to serve in Qin Heqing.

It's not a wandering ninja.

Seeing this, Qin Heqing didn't force it anymore, and after briefly communicating some information, and getting some intelligence information about the monster forces in this world from the hands of Takenaka Hanbei, a martial artist and onmyoji, he took the initiative to leave and embarked on the journey to the shrine maiden agency again.

"That person is dangerous." The half-guard of Takenaka looked at the carriage that was gradually moving away, and whispered to the former ghost beside him.

"I noticed that he had the smell of a monster on his body."

"Youkai, isn't it because of the ghost?"

"No, but a feeling of a deeper nature, as deep and majestic as the sea...... So if it's not necessary, it's better not to clash with them. The former ghost said with a serious expression.

"I see."

……

"The dog demon clan, the wolf demon clan, the ocelot clan, the dodo clan, the snow girl clan, the fox clan, and the strange lone monster...... Tsk, that's a lot. On the way to the country of missiles, Qin Heqing, who was nesting in the car and looking at the information on the monster forces given by the half-guards of Takenaka, muttered to the galloping beast.

"At least there aren't any too dangerous people on this island, are they?" Yue'er comforted.

"That's it." Qin Heqing admitted.

That's true.,Basically, except for those groups that don't know about the lone ranger-like scattered demons and Takenaka Hanbei.,Forces like dog demons、Wolf demons that can directly establish demon kingdoms are all active in Shikoku and Kyushu.,Otherwise, it's in Hokkaido and the northeast of the main island.,Places similar to the later Aomori area.,As for the Kanto、Kansai and Gyeonggi regions,I don't know if it's the influence of the gods.,Or the relationship between human activities.,The number of demons and monsters is relatively rare.。

"But there seems to be something unusual about the Izu country." Qin Heqing's gaze stayed on the text introduction of Izu Province and frowned.

"What's the problem?" Yue'er wondered.

"You see, it is said that almost forty years ago, there was a dog demon here, ravaging the surroundings, until the appearance of the witch bellflower, the activities of the dog demon were somewhat restrained, and completely disappeared more than thirty years ago, and the legendary-level witch bellflower also disappeared with the dog demon, and I don't know if it was the same end, or how."

And the most critical point is that Qin Heqing feels very familiar with this plot, as if he has seen it somewhere......
