Chapter 4: A Night of Crisis
Wait...... Wait a minute? No way?
When he thought of this, Yu Xing almost jumped in fright, and this action directly startled the maid next to him who had not yet left.
"Young Master Yuxing? What's wrong with you? ”
"No...... Where is my father now? I want to go to him. ”
After taking a deep breath, Yuxing hurriedly said to the young maid who was in charge of taking care of him, after all, if he was not mistaken, then the trouble of the Hyuga family was already coming now.
In the original work, when Hinata was about three years old, the country of thunder sent an envoy to the country of fire to negotiate and implement the kidnapping plan, and today the messenger of Yunyin Village did come, in other words, the timeline where the imperial trip is located is the day of that event, and he himself is still the protagonist of it!
Although Hinata quickly discovered this incident in the original timeline and immediately reclaimed Hinata, it also led to the death of the messenger, which led to the next day Thunder no Kuni asking Konoha for Hinata Hinata's body on the grounds that his emissary had been killed, otherwise the peace agreement would break down.
But Rizu is the head of the sect family, and it is impossible to die, so Richa took the initiative to replace Rizu to die, which led to Ning Ci's complaining about the sky later......
No, if it goes on like this, it will be a big trouble, if I'm not mistaken, one of the envoys from Yunyin Village will come over tonight to kidnap me, the eldest young master of Hinata, and then I have to go back to the old way.
Therefore, Yuxing wanted to seek his father's help in advance, because at present, the easiest way to solve this situation is to stay by Hitozu's side.
Judging from the fact that Rizu single-handedly killed the messenger in the original work, the strength of the guy sent by Yunyin Village to do small actions is not too strong, so if Rizu is the umbrella, Yuxing should be able to spend tonight unharmed.
But...... The maid's next words made him frown.
"Well, because it's a big event tonight, the head of the family should be entertaining late, and I'll definitely be scolded if I go to him now, so forget it."
Festival? By the way, today is the day of the traditional ceremony of the Hyuga family, and there have been many various events to be held since the morning, and Hizaku, as the head of the family, is also very busy.
No, could it be that Yunyin Village set up a plan when they knew this? But they only came to Konoha today, and it stands to reason that they can't find out the situation of the Hyuga family so quickly, according to that...... Is there a high probability that there is a ghost in Hinata's house?
After thinking about it carefully, Goyuki smelled a smell of rats.
According to the original work, Yunyin Village just sent a messenger to infiltrate Hinata's house, and then kidnapped Hinata, although these words are simple to say, but when you think about it, it feels a bit out of the ordinary.
First of all, the strength of this messenger itself is not superb, the evidence is that he can still be killed by Hinata alone when he already has Hinata as a hostage, and that strength is at most an ordinary upper ninja level, not even an elite.
And such a mediocre guy can easily break into the Hinata family, which is known as the two great families of Konoha and kidnap the eldest lady, is the headquarters of the Hyuga family paper-paste? So it's a bit intriguing.
"I have something important to discuss with my father, and I have to go over no matter what!"
After thinking of this, Yu Xing quickly stood up and put on his coat, and said to the exclusive maid next to him who was responsible for serving him.
"Huh? This one is not ...... Wait a minute! Young Master Yuxing! ”
Before the maid could react to what the eldest young master was saying, the small figure had already quickly run to the door of the room and slammed open the side sliding door of the room.
Due to the relatively quiet side courtyard where the royal residence is, the corridor outside the door is empty, and it looks a little deserted in the bright moonlight.
But today happened to be the "night of the full moon", and even at night, the field of vision was quite wide, and the royal line was completely too lazy to pay attention to the surprised gaze of the maid who chased him, and immediately ran towards the other end of the corridor.
If I'm not mistaken, Hizoku should still be drinking with the group of high-ranking people over the hall right now, as long as he runs that way......
Boom! But just as he shook off the maid and ran towards the other end, and just as he turned a corner, his small body hit a thick object, and then fell to the ground involuntarily.
"Huh? Is it the young master of the Imperial Journey? How did you come here. ”
When Goyuki opened his eyes and looked that way, he saw a young man in a white kimono holding out his right hand towards him, as if he was about to help himself up.
This young man has the cataract characteristics that the Hyuga clan is very famous for, and the kimono on his body is spotless, and his fresh hair is flowing behind him.
However, the moment he saw this young man, Yuxing had a feeling of numbness in his scalp.
This guy ...... Not from the Hyuga family. Almost in a matter of seconds, Yuxing had come to such a conclusion.
That's right, although this guy is completely the standard of the Hyuga clan in terms of appearance and clothing, but he has a huge disobedience at this moment, that is, his body is too clean.
You must know that today's Hyuga family is in the midst of a once-in-a-year ritual celebration, and both the high-ranking and lower-level people have been partying all night, especially the men, who have almost drunk a lot of sake.
But at this moment, the guy who appeared in front of Yu Xing did not have a trace of alcohol on him, and the clothes on his body were so neat that he didn't look like he had experienced a carnival at all.
In other words, this guy didn't appear in the hall tonight, and as far as the Imperial Line knows, only the secret guards in the family don't need to participate in this event, and if it is a dark guard, it is impossible for him to appear in front of him like this.
So this guy who appeared in front of Yu Xing at this time is not normal nine times out of ten, and then think of the fact that someone from Yunyin Village will come over tonight to implement the kidnapping plan...... The answer is imminent.
"Ahem, it's okay, just come out and relax."
But even so, Yuyuki reached out to hold the man's hand and stood up with a pretended innocent look.
"Really? Then ...... Get a good night's sleep. ”
Before Yuxing could gain a firm foothold, the young man showed an expression of "plan", and then pressed his palm on the head of the eldest young master of the Hyuga family!
In an instant, Yuxing only felt that the world in front of him seemed to turn into a vortex and spun rapidly, and then his consciousness slowly fell into a deep sleep......
Whew, it really didn't take much effort to get it. When he saw that the target of this mission was successfully captured, this Yunyin Murakami named Dabi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and easily carried the imperial line on his shoulder, and quickly ran towards the depths of the corridor on the other side before the maid chased after him!
That's right, just like Goyuki thought before, this guy named Darby is indeed not from the Hyuga clan, but a spy who was sent to Konoha by Yunyin Village earlier.
He has been lurking in Konoha for many years, but today he quietly left Konoha and ran back after infiltrating the envoy group of Yunyin Village, mixing up the identity of the leader of Yunyin Village, but in fact, the leader of the Yunyin Village envoy group naturally has someone else.
Since he had already figured out the daily life rules and geographical structure of the Hyuga family, coupled with his relationship as a full-time intelligence collector, it was not difficult for Darby to sneak in while the Hyuga clan was taking advantage of today's festival activities.
In addition, since the Cloud Hidden Village, which is the main enemy of Konoha, happened to come over today to negotiate and sign a peace agreement, almost no one could have imagined that they would attack the Hyuga family at this juncture......
But then again, it's just "almost", and in fact, as Darby carries the royal trip and plans to leave from the corner of the complex, a small head is thinking about what to do at this moment.
Trouble, if I don't do something about it, history will go back to the way it was, but what about that?
At this time, Yu Xing, who was resisted and pretended to be a dead dog on his shoulder, thought so.
Although Darby was sure that the three-year-old had been controlled by illusions and was in an unnatural state of sleep, in fact, Goxing's consciousness was still normal.
Yes, Darby's illusion didn't affect him, or maybe the simple little illusion was dismantled as soon as it had an effect.
And the way Goyuki used to dispel the illusion was also very simple, and that was through the fantasy creature that was floating behind him at this time, but no one could see it, "Stand-in-Kaguyahime".
