His hair was unusually messy, his two eye sockets were sunken, his beard was unkempt, and at first glance, he looked as miserable as a wild dog dying of starvation.

"Elder Yuan, how is your body recovering?" Yao Shuang and the others pushed the door in, moved two stools and sat directly in front of the bed.

"Call me Ah Jin...... Ah Jin didn't look at Yao Shuang and the others, his eyes were still blank, staring at the roof in a daze, and even his speech became much more mechanical.

Yao Shuang looked at Yan Lengfeng, and both of them shook their heads helplessly, the state of this Ajin brother was really bad.

"Elder Ah Jin...... I want to ask why......" Yao Shuang didn't finish her sentence, but was directly interrupted by Ah Jin in a cold voice.

"You don't have to ask me, I'll tell you myself." Ah Jin let out a long breath, looked at the beam above his head to sort out his emotions, and began to talk about the past of Huoyun Jia Jingliu......

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another month has passed. Dongling Lingxinliu still stubbornly defended the three towns of Tokyo and developed silently, but the Empress of Heaven showed defeat.

In June of the eighth year of the world calendar, the Empress of Heaven was blocked by the Changgang defense line and could not go south, and the Changgang town guard Kumagai Naomi united with Iga Feixiong and Kitagawa Nagano Three-Way Army to break Nitta Yoshishige, and Nitta Yoshishige 50,000 horses were killed in the piece of armor, and the left route army announced that it was broken; Subsequently, the middle route army Satake Hideyoshi and Takiya Nobuno also attacked Nasu Town at night with color, and Hatakeyama Shigetada was fortunate to send troops back to Kajiwara Jingshi to save Nasu Town; Shida Yoshihiro wanted to attack Iwaki when Kajiwara Keishi sent troops, but was told that Iga Flying Bear and Kitagawa Nagano led a military horse all the way to the base camp of the Empress of Heaven.

In July, the Left Route Army of the Heavenly Empress was once again torn a gap by Kumagai Naomi, the army of the three towns united to the north, the Heavenly Empress ordered everyone to defend the barracks, and the two families broke out in the final decisive battle at the Nasu River, each side dropped 50,000 corpses, the Heavenly Empress finally decided to retreat the defensive line back two hundred miles, and the Heavenly Empress began to enter the defensive.

In September, it was raining continuously in the north, and Uzumaki Nagamaru informed the Empress that there was no grain harvest in the north, and the military and civilians were full of complaints, so the Empress had to announce that the rebellion had been lost, and the whole army retreated to Akita Castle and began to enter the strategic defense stage.

In October, Naomi Kumagai joined forces with the remaining six members of the Seven Heroes of the Genji clan, plus twenty elders of the Kitagawa Nagano, Wind Ninja, and Mizunin clans to request Minamoto Yoritomo to send troops to exterminate the Heavenly Empress, but Minamoto Yoritomo ignored it; In mid-October, Minamoto Yoritomo only politely refused the soldiers' request to send troops on the grounds of cold weather, and the Empress and Genji once again fell into a state of long-term stalemate.

In November, Kumagai Naomi braved the wind and snow to return to Nara Castle to personally ask Minamoto Yoritomo to send troops, and after a secret conversation between the two, Kumagai Naomi learned that Minamoto Yoritomo had fun with Hojo Masako all day long, and had no intention of political affairs at all, and the previous Minamoto Yoritomo judged the two of them, Kumagai Naomi was disheartened, chose to leave the army and return to his hometown, and later became a monk.

In December, Yoshisumi Miura was ordered to be transferred to the town of Nagaoka to replace Naomi Kumagai, while Iga Hikuma and Kitagawa Nagano led their troops back to Mt. Fuji, and the Toei Sho era returned to the peaceful state of the year before.

In the space of half a year, Kamizong Hirotsune and Chiba Tsunein wiped out almost all the rebellions in Genji's sphere of influence, leaving only the Toryo Soul Stream in the Three Towns of Tokyo and the Izumo Province north of Nagasaki west of Nara.

At the beginning of the first month of the ninth year of the world calendar, at the beginning of the new year, the head of the general Hirotsune led 50,000 horses to attack the cloud country, and Chiba Tsunein attacked the three towns of Tokyo, preparing to exterminate the last rebellion in Genji.

……

A few families are happy and a few are worried, although Yao Shuang and the others learned the news of Chiba Changyin's troops, but they are not very afraid, the news from Tokyo Mansion a few days ago made the two of them very happy, Yan Huo'er has completely woken up, and his body has returned to his previous state, Ah Jin's limbs have all recovered almost, and his mood has gradually stabilized. Although the cold source is still in a coma, but after Yan Lengfeng's daily unremitting inhalation, the aroma finally no longer overflows, which can be regarded as temporarily saving his life, if it can be adsorbed for a long time, Yan Lengfeng is confident that the cold source will wake up again.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, on the night of the full moon, the Tokyo town was full of melons, fruits, wine and food, and Yao Shuang and his group sat around a table, chatting while drinking wine.

"Now, Huo'er has awakened, the Ah Jin brothers have also recovered their previous appearance, Chiba Changyin is leading 50,000 horses to attack, you might as well express your opinions and say what we should do next?" The characters on Yao Shuang's table were naturally started by him.

"There are only 40,000 horses in Dongling Lingxinliu at present, and none of them are formally trained troops, so I think the most important thing for us at the moment is to rescue the head of my family and the two of Sect Master Yan. Only the two of them can break free from the cage and dominate the overall situation, maybe we can also join forces with the Empress of Heaven to destroy the Yuan Lai Dynasty, when the time comes, you and I will search for the Donglingmen Guqin, as long as we use the power of the Empress of Heaven, wouldn't it be much easier? Ah Jin took a sip of wine and said his opinion, after half a year of adjustment, Ah Jin is no longer decadent, and now he only has rescue and revenge in his heart.

"I agree with everything Ah Jin said, but this Huoli Town is guarded by Iga Flying Bear, and Iga Flying Bear has made great contributions in the battle of the Nasu River before, and there are countless soldiers who have gone to join him, plus those forces in Shizuoka Town, it is too difficult for us to save people from them." Yan Huo'er also told Yan Lengfeng and the others about the 64-way maze before, not to mention how difficult it is for the five lakes, even if they can reach the belly of Mount Fuji, the prison is full of organs, and it is even more difficult, and in the end, they have to face the one who is the shadow ninja and the Iga Flying Bear, and finally defeat them to rescue Yan Yunxing and the two, if the whole process is not well planned, it is estimated that the previous mistakes will be repeated.

"To save people, I don't think it's necessary to go to so many people, after all, people occupy favorable terrain, we can sneak in, explore first, and then make plans." Yao Shuang touched her chin, thought for a long time, and said her opinion, and then continued: "Didn't Huo'er say before that the crater of Mount Fuji leads directly into the belly of the mountain, can't we dive into it from there?" ”

"Lord Red Butler, you haven't been to Mt. Fuji, you don't know the situation there, the crater is hundreds of zhang high, and the belly of the mountain is an upside-down funnel-shaped smooth stone wall, even if you use rope to borrow force, I'm afraid it will be difficult to go down, and the only person who has successfully entered the mountain belly by walking through the crater is the Sixth Heavenly Demon King, so I think this method is difficult to implement." Although Miyama Yuki knew the true identities of Yao Shuang and the others, out of habit and politeness, he still called several people by their nicknames.

"Is it possible for the Wind Ninja to do it?" Yao Shuang asked such a question instead.

Yuki Miyama shook his head and replied with a frown: "I think even the Wind Ninja Clan will be difficult to do, unless all of their ten elders will have the 'Supreme Wind Seal', so they may be able to succeed in joining forces." ”

Yao Shuang chuckled, poured a glass of wine, looked at the bright moon outside the window, and said with a smile: "As long as someone can go down, then I can also go down, and the matter of rescuing the two adults will be left to me and Leng Protector, as for you, I think there are more important things for you to do." ”

"What's the matter?" Ah Jin heard Yao Shuang say that he had a way to sneak into the belly of the mountain, and hurriedly said: "If you can successfully rescue the head of my family, then I will be willing to attract firepower as cannon fodder!" ”

"Hey...... It's for you to attract firepower! Yao Shuang's words were amazing.

"What?" Everyone stopped the dishes and chopsticks in their hands and looked at Yao Shuang, it was obvious that Hall Master Yao had already started planning!

Yao Shuang looked at everyone's surprised looks, smiled mysteriously, withdrew his servants, took a sip of the wine in the glass, and said, "My plan is like this......"

……

In the middle of February, a full year has passed since Huoyun Jia Jingliu was wiped out, in the corner of the overgrown backyard in Shizuoka Town, in a dark room with no doors and windows, a young man with a cloak is kneeling on the ground, secretly cultivating internal strength, although the internal force is very shallow, but he can persist every day, not to mention that there is nothing else to do here, and only practice can pass this boring time.

In the middle of the night, the young man stopped practicing, got up instead, walked to the corner of the room, picked up a piece of cold steamed bun and ate it.

Just as he was eating the fragrant food, he suddenly heard a sound from the ground, as if it was a little mouse scratching his burrow, the young man was very excited, he had not touched the meat for a year, and he could finally open the meat tonight.

As soon as he thought of the fat rat meat, the young man couldn't wait to pull out the long knife at his waist, and used the knife as an iron pole for digging the earth, and dug up the ground with a clattering sound at the sound.

Half an hour later, the young man finally dug to a depth of one meter, and with another knife down, the young man suddenly felt that the knife seemed to be soft and seemed to be pierced into the flesh, but strangely there was no "squeak" of the mouse.

"Oh, I'll go, I can be stung by a scorpion when I dig a tunnel, and I'm really convinced......"

The young man suddenly heard someone talking underground, and hurriedly pointed his long knife at a black person in the tunnel, and asked sharply, "Who are you?" How did you get here? ”

The man on the ground tilted his head, looked at the long knife in front of him with a confused expression, touched the blood hole on his buttocks, and asked cautiously: "Dare to ask if this is the residence of Beichuan Shisheng?" ”

"I'm Beichuan Shisheng, who are you?" Beichuan Shisheng actually thought in his heart that someone was coming to save him, but he didn't dare to believe that Yan Huo'er was seriously injured before, and according to his father, he was shot to the heart by an arrow from Beidao Qingtian, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to survive.

"I'm a Red Butler's subordinate, and I'm here to save you!" The man sensed that Beichuan's tone was not good, and hurriedly explained his intention.

"Red Deacon, the person of Dongling's spiritual flow? Why did he save me? "Beichuan is very confused, I don't have much friendship with Dongling Lingxinliu, who is he saving?

"With your lord, she said that you are a very loyal samurai and a trustworthy companion, and I will come to save you!" Underground, a loud and rich male voice came, and then Beichuan saw a red shadow jump out of the tunnel in an instant, obviously he was the legendary red deacon.

"Lord Liu? She's alive? Beichuan's tone trembled a little, I haven't seen her for a year, and I don't know how she is, whether her injuries have healed, and whether she has been bullied in Dongling Lingxinliu.

"That's right, I just deliberately rescued you out to meet your Heavenly Demon Maiden......"
