After all, Yuan Qingya did not sprinkle the depression in her heart on those villagers.

Even though they were forced to kneel down in fear by the intimidation of their swords in their hands, they still chattered and shouted, demanding that the samurai throw the monster into the fire and burn it clean.

Yuan Qingya was indifferent, just glanced at them with cold eyes, and led his men out of the village without saying a word.

He helped Qingxing Lantern to get on the horse, held the reins by himself, and walked strolling, his expression solemn and deep, not knowing what he was thinking.

The Wind Demon and his disciples and guards fell far behind them, not daring to step forward to disturb them.

After walking like this for a long time, Qingxing Lantern broke the silence.

"The fact that you saved the monster will be spread by those villagers, and your reputation will be ruined by me."

"It's too late to regret it now."

Yuan Qingya rolled her eyes, and saw the nervous look in the eyes of the girl on horseback behind her.

"Don't worry, I'm not like them."

"Do you know why I was kicked out of Heiankyo?"

"Because I..."

"Collusion with demons, mutilation of human beings, the crime is extremely evil, Yuan Laiguang, that bastard, originally wanted to kill me directly, but fortunately, my father's power should not be underestimated, so I was sent out to Beijing in exchange, saying that it was an expatriate, but in fact it was exiled, which is really pitiful."

When she said this, Yuan Qingya's face only had gritted teeth and hatred, and there was no pity at all.

Qing Xing Deng was amused by his childish expression, and even the boredom on his face disappeared a lot.

She covered her mouth and smiled slightly for a while, and suddenly turned back on the horse, looking at the place that could be called "home" in her previous life, and her eyes became confused.

"I... There's no going back. ”

Yuan Qingya didn't look back and snorted.

"I can't go back to Heiankyo either."

"So what? Changing places and settling down means that there are always new stories waiting for you in the future. ”

Qing Xingdeng looked stunned, looking at the back of the young man leading the horse, his smile suddenly became more and more victorious.

"yes..."

"There's always something new waiting for me."

"Could that be you..."

The voice is faint, and the smile is heartfelt.

...

Many people shout for equality and justice, but in this world, where is there real fairness.

The most unfair thing about human beings is called "talent".

People may not be divided into three, six, nine or other levels in terms of status, but people's talents can definitely be divided according to rank.

For example, Yuan Qingya's kendo talent.

He crossed alone, had no long body, and had no gold fingers at all, so he could only rely on himself.

"If I can still cross once at the end of this life, I must make myself a gold finger belt!"

The self-reliant Yuan Qingya thought so and began to hone her swordsmanship.

Genji was a royal family that was reduced to a vassal, and the only thing he could rely on was this illustrious family background.

Since he was a child, he was considered a fine food and clothing, and his father could provide him with whatever he wanted, and the same was true in kendo.

And he also showed an extremely terrifying talent for kendo.

He was born with a high fit for the sword, and began to learn swords at the age of seven or eight, and three years later, Genji, the best kendo teacher, had nothing left to teach him.

Known as the first hero of Genji, Yuan Laiguang, two or three years older than him, fights with him with swords, but the odds of winning are five or five each, Yuan Qingya is sure that he will practice for a few more years, and he can take the head of Yuan Laiguang one-on-one.

However, when it comes to other aspects of talent, compared to the treasure girl she picked up with good luck, Yuan Qingya, who was a person in two lives, was ashamed of herself.

She calls herself "Qingxing Lantern", and Yuan Qingya calls her "Qingxing".

After living in the castle tower of Edo Castle for a year, everyone in the city had to call Lady Qing respectfully when they saw her, and respected her even more than Gen Kiyoya.

Because of the size of Edo Castle, from military training, land reclamation, water conservancy, taxes, to the food and drink of the castle lord's mansion, she had to nod.

And Qingxingdeng's talent in these things was enough to make the vast majority of capable officials at that time ashamed of themselves.

Not at all a level.

We have built canals and water conservancy, cultivated fertile land along the mountains, organized large-scale fishing fleets to withstand wind and rain at sea, and formulated reasonable and tax reduction decrees that promote the healthy development of Musashi State.

Yuan Qingya was completely "overhead".

But Musashi is thriving.

The deeds of the virtuous king that Yuan Qingya and Uesugi Qing boasted about at that time were not from him, and they were all relying on picking up a treasure girl.

Of course, if you have to say that he has the ability to recognize people, he will definitely admit it cheekily, because if he changed others, Qingxing Lantern would have died long ago.

On this day, after lunch, Yuan Qingya leaned on the study to take a nap.

He is actually quite idle, and all affairs are handled by the "Green Lady" in the eyes of the retainers, and he, the lord of the country, usually does more things than practice swords.

Just as he was sleeping hazy, he was awakened by several barking dogs.

It's Achai calling.

At this time, he had just come to Edo Castle to settle down for more than a year, and Achai's life was quite nourishing, running around all day long, but it would not be far away from him.

When he sleeps and rests, Ah Chai will guard the door, and if someone approaches, he will bark wildly.

However, these barks were not very intense, but sounded a little joyful and flattering.

This should be the cry when you meet an acquaintance.

"Apricot is coming? Or is Qingxing coming? ”

"That's not right... A new shopping street was opened in the town, and she vigorously promoted it, and she also personally went to promote those merchants and promote trade, and Apricot also followed, right? ”

"Ah Chi seems to have gone to the beach to practice swords, and he is not in the city?"

"Except for them, Ah Chai is not kind to anyone."

Before he could figure it out, footsteps came from a hurry.

The person who came didn't think of himself as an outsider pushed open the door of Yuan Qingya's study, and the hearty laughter reached Yuan Qingya's ears before the figure appeared.

"I say, San'er."

"I've been a feast for my eyes all the way!"

"I've heard in Kyoto that Musashi Province is a barren land, but under your rule, the fields are fertile and the population is large, and the prosperity of the town is not worse than that of the castle towns near Heiankyo."

"I'll just say, no matter where our three sons are, it is impossible for them to be out of the crowd!"

A figure that looked seven points similar to Yuan Qingya strode in front of him.

Yuan Qingya rubbed her eyes, her face full of surprise and joy.

"Second brother..."

"Why are you here?!"

Today, the emperor's younger brother, Prince Keming has four sons and one daughter, and Yuan Qingya ranks third.

The person in front of him is his second brother, Daisuke of Internal Affairs in the palace, Yuan Zhengya.

Yuan Zhengya stared at her brother with a smile, her eyes full of relief.

"What, I'm coming to see my brother, and I have to get your permission first, what's the matter?"

"Hmph, didn't you write a letter to your family and let me find you some treasured books in the library and bring them to you?"

"Strange, I remember you don't like to read much."

"My three sons are outcast, lonely, such a request, as an elder brother, of course, I have to try my best to meet it."

"I brought you three truckloads of books, and I found another excuse, took a few days off, and simply came to see you."

Yuan Qingya was also a little moved, he had a good relationship with the brothers in the family, especially the eldest brother and the second brother, who were all spoiled by him.

"Daisuke-sama, the dignified housekeeper, should also be a busy man, and I'm really flattered that he came to visit me in his busy schedule."

Yuan Zhengya smiled and waved her hand.

"Don't be poor."

"I know that Musashi Country has basically been held in your kid's hands, and my father wrote a few days ago, stating that you are [Musashi Mamoru Mori], and it is estimated that there will be no mistakes in suppressing Musashi."

"When the time comes, we are all from the fifth grade, you can't call me an adult!"

"That's right, Mamoru Musashi~"

Yuan Qingya smiled very happily, thousands of miles away to visit his brother, he couldn't help but think of many things in Heianjing, and he was full of emotion for a while.

"Hard work, second brother, is the family okay?"

He asked what most wanderers would say.

"What can happen to the family, where is the identity of the father?"

"Although the imperial relatives are not worth much now, we are all Genji vassals."

"The eldest brother is like a fish in water in the palace, and the fourth son also works hard to practice, saying that he wants to learn swordsmanship well and help the third brother."

"I... You know, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is an idle position, nothing busy, just take a leave and come out. ”

"My father is fine, but my mother's lung disease is serious, and they always talk about you... San'er, let's go back and have a look when you have time. ”

Yuan Qingya thought of her relatives' faces, and her eyes were irrepressibly sour.

In the past ten years, it is also the parents of this life who raised him to such a big age, how can he have no feelings.

“...”

"I'll look for a chance, I can't go back to Kyoto... Minamoto Yorimitsu, that bastard, is determined to fight me to the death. ”

"When I go back to Heianjing, I'm afraid it's time for the two of us to share life and death."

“...”

"Forget it, don't mention that."

"How long has the second brother been staying? I'll prepare a feast, let's have a few drinks together! ”

Yuan Zhengya sat cross-legged beside Yuan Qingya, not seeing the rules of the palace at all, and Ah Chai circled around them excitedly.

While teasing the dog and looking at his younger brother's face, Gen Zhengya's expression became a little softer.

"How can I live for ten days and half a month, I won't be needed over there, I'm just going to mix qualifications, in a few years, this official position can still be promoted, and then there will be less leisure time."

"By the way, speaking of..."

"I've heard all the way."

"You've been out for a year, and the lady of the side room has begged a lot..."

"Apricot was arranged for you by your mother, and it was originally stuffed into your side room, but what the hell is that Mrs. Chi and Mrs. Qing, I thought it was some kind of monster boss..."

Yuan Qingya smiled bitterly and shook her head.

Rumors never stop.

In the eyes of his subordinates, there is only one identity for a woman who can live in the castle tower and trust him.

Not what Mrs. is.

Therefore, apricots, Qingxing lanterns, and even Achi were basically treated as the main mother.

Yuan Qingya didn't bother to argue with his brother, this thing became darker and darker, he just shook his head and said, "Well... After all, I... I'm at this age. ”

"Why, my mother is urging you to marry again? Don't move the battlefield to me, I'm faster than you! ”

Yuan Zhengya scolded Yuan Qingya with a helpless smile, and just wanted to say something, when he saw his younger brother's face suddenly change.

"What's wrong?"

He asked subconsciously.

Yuan Qingya turned her head to look at the lone lamp next to the low desk he used as a desk in the room.

The lampshade is cyan, and the flame is cyan.

Even though it was daytime, the light was still on.

But...

The lights are already a little dim and have a faint tendency to go out.

“...”

"She's using demonic powers? In the middle of a fight? ”

"She's been helping me run the city territory all year round, where is the time to practice, the demon power is terrible, who can deal with it?!"

As soon as the thought turned, Yuan Qingya was anxious.

"Second brother sit down for a while, something happened to Qingxing, I'll take a look and come back soon!"

As soon as the words fell, Yuan Qingya had already run away.

Yuan Zhengya didn't think it was wrong, and walked out of the study with his hands behind his back, leaning on the railing of the castle tower, watching condescendingly as one person and one horse went away, smiling playfully.

"Is that the young lady?"

"It's pretty favorable... My third brother, there is still a woman who can stop him? ”

"Unexpected... I can't think of it. ”

"But that's a good thing."

"I just hope that this young lady is not some kind of ill-intentioned person... Let's go check her details! ”

On the other hand, there is a short distance from Edo Castle and the town of Castle.

Qingxing Lantern, whose image has changed greatly, is holding a lantern, and the ghost fire lingers around him, but there is a trace of uneasiness hidden in his cold and arrogant face.

She is completely different from the skinny little girl she was at the beginning.

It may be that the demonic power has the effect of beautifying the face, or it may be that the living conditions provided by Yuan Qingya are indeed excellent, and the current Qingxing lamp is raised white and fat, with just the right body of proportion, and the bookish spirit has not been reduced by half a point, but because of the perennial orders, it has a bit of majesty, and from a distance, it is a beauty with excellent appearance and temperament.

At this time, the beauty is angry, and the green light seduces the soul.

She was surrounded.

The people surrounding her naturally can't be mortals who don't have long eyes.

Dressed in hunting clothes, wearing a black hat, holding a charm, and reciting the law.

It's an onmyoji.

The five onmyoji surrounded the Qingxing lanterns, and the first one looked at her like a hunter looking at his prey, his eyes full of desire.

Not "lust", but "greed".

"I'm so lucky... The newborn demon of the green walk? ”

"If you cultivate it well, wouldn't it be possible to give birth to a master of a hundred things for me to drive?"

"Array, knot, seal, summon god!"

"How can you not take a heaven-sent treasure?"

"Obviously, he just did something for the violent maniac of Yuan Laiguang, but there was such an unexpected gain."

"This generation of the He Mao family should be the head of the house!"

Fifteen or sixteen years old, the handsome young man in a hunting suit smiled a little wildly, and the green lantern in his eyes seemed to be in his bag.

The situation of Qingxing Lantern is indeed not good.

In order to prevent the town from being destroyed by these onmyoji who are indifferent and start fighting when they come up, and in order not to let Apricot be involved in the riot, she lured these sudden enemies away by herself until the barren mountains and mountains.

And under the consumption of those sporadic spell attacks, there was not much demonic power left that she was not proficient in.

These onmyoji are obviously not fledgling novices, and they seem to be the guards sent out to protect everyone's young master, all of them have calm faces, they are in all directions, and they cast spells in formation, suppressing the Qingxing lantern to death.

The despair that had been silent for a year slowly spread in my heart.

Qing Xing Deng gritted his teeth, and his breathing was a little short.

"I... Is it so weak? ”

"Miscalculated... I shouldn't waste too much time on external objects, and if I sharpened my demonic power more and collected more weird stories, I wouldn't be so embarrassed. ”

"That's it... Let's fight to the death! ”

Before the thought was finished, the sound of horses' hooves in the distance.

The green lamp in Yuan Qingya's room was connected to her divine thoughts.

In the town, when she first started to fight with those onmyoji, Yuan Qingya found the clue, and at this time, she followed the fluctuation of demonic power all the way to find it, and it didn't waste much work at all.

The leading young onmyoji saw that someone dared to come violently, his face was disdainful, as if he was used to flying and domineering, and with a wave of his hand, a paper figure was spilled.

The paper man rose in the air against the wind, turning into a giant spirit god-like warrior, waving his giant sword with teeth and claws, and slashed at Yuan Qingya, who was galloping towards the royal horse.

He didn't even ask the reason, he was going to cut the comer in half, even the people and the horses!

Seeing this, Yuan Qingya sneered, his eyes were gloomy, he exerted a slight force under his feet, his body jumped up suddenly, drew his sword, turned around, and slashed.

The sword aura is overflowing, and the sword is brilliant.

The paper man turned into a general will be cut to pieces.

After Yuan Qingya landed, he was already standing in front of the Qingxing lantern.

He habitually waved the sword in his hand a few times, did a warm-up exercise before killing, stared at the young onmyoji opposite, and suddenly showed a somewhat terrifying smile.

"Where did the little rabbit cub come from, he learned a few tricks to pretend to be a ghost, and bullied my family's chief manager."

"You're really blind."

"It's okay, since you're here."

"Don't go!"
