This day was definitely the worst day since the outbreak of the Kabane virus twenty years ago, the negligence of the samurai stationed at the West Gate caused the Fuso Castle full of Kabane to shatter the city walls and fall into the residential area, and many residents in the area near the West Gate were crushed to death by the Fusang Castle carriages that rushed in, but Kabane, who should have caused the biggest casualties, did not cause a catastrophic end this time.

The reason is that at that time, the foreign troops of the Iron City appeared near the West Gate, and when they learned of the situation, they immediately supported and repelled hundreds of Kabane troops, and then the samurai troops stationed at each gate supported them, and the samurai troops still sacrificed hundreds of samurai to suppress the situation when the foreign troops controlled the situation, and one of the victims was the head of the Sifang Chuan family who ran the Xianjin Post into a prosperous and stable state today - General Sifang Chuanjian.

Since last night, Shikata Kawa has stayed awake all night, staying in a safe high place to watch the fighting in the Ximen area, and then in the early hours of the morning, the samurai brought a fact that she could not accept, her father Shikata Kawa Ken will be attacked by Kabane, and all including the five escort samurai will be killed.

When she heard the news of her father's death, she did not immediately go to see his father's body, and continued to command the battle as the head of the Shikata River family, and there was no time to hold a funeral until the situation was completely stable.

"Father..."

Sifang Chuan Iris looked at the Sifang Chuan Jian General lying on the white cloth with teary eyes, his skin had turned blue-black, even after tidying up, it was still as hideous and weird as Kabane, and he could no longer see his usual majesty and calmness.

"Calamus-sama, the ceremony is ready." The muffled voice of the samurai came from outside the papier-mâché shoji door.

"Well, then carry my father's body over."

"Yes."

Sifang Chuan iris followed the samurai to the training ground of the Sifang Chuan family, the center of the training ground was made of wood to form a bonfire, several monks gathered around the bonfire to chant sutras, the outer layer of the training ground was surrounded by ordinary civilians in three layers and three layers outside, these people are the families of the victims in this accident, the grief soon spread, the cry of the child and the sobbing of the woman are connected.

Sifang Chuanjian has a good identity, and this funeral is mainly held for him, and his body is burned into ashes and then placed in the ancestral hall for worship.

The funeral ceremony lasted for more than three hours, and after the calamus of the Sifang River pacified the people, as the head of the family, he naturally continued to command the samurai, but the news reported by the samurai was not optimistic one by one. In the meeting hall of the Sifang Chuan family, the Sifang Chuan calamus was sitting on the main seat, and there were more than a dozen warriors in military uniform kneeling on both sides of the body, and some of the blood stains on their bodies had not been wiped off and hurriedly participated in this meeting, the atmosphere was solemn, and all the faces of the people were not good-looking.

A warrior with a calm face nodded to the others and reported the situation in a deep voice: "Lord Calamus, the water source in the outer city has been polluted by Kabanei and can no longer be used, and now the residents of the outer city are in turmoil and want to enter the inner city to live, and there is also a shortage of domestic water in the inner city, and every family has been instructed to only quota bathing water once every three days." ”

Another samurai snorted disdainfully: "A group of Diao people, don't they know that without the protection of the samurai, they are just food in Kabane, but they will only add chaos and stupidity in times of crisis." ”

"The gap situation is under control for the time being, only the sporadic Kabane will cross the moat and climb up, and the guards who will be guarded day and night have been arranged, please rest assured."

"Is that really the case? Or do you Simonites want to see Kabane invade again? Calamus-sama, please order the craftsmen to repair the wall as soon as possible, and there are more and more kabanes gathered, and if this gap is not filled, the number of kabanai will not be able to cope with the samurai. ”

A samurai sneered with a sneer: "After all, whose responsibility is it that the West Gate will be breached!" ”

"Do you want to quarrel? Now is the time to discuss this? ”

"It's just that the people are very uneasy now, and the samurai stationed there are also very unstable emotions now because of the death of the head of the family, and they can't continue like this! Calamus-sama, you can't just think of a way? ”

The quarrel between the samurai became more and more intense, and the Shikata Iris clasped her hands, she was still just a weak girl, usually used to echoing her father's opinion, and now all the burden was on her how to let her bear, but she understood that it was a responsibility that had to be shouldered.

During the quarrel, I don't know who said: "What about those foreigners, cooperate with foreigners!" They are well armed, and they are the ones who have stopped the first to rush in the Kabane, and if they work together, this accident can be easily defused. ”

The conference room suddenly fell silent, and the samurai knew that there had to be a solution, and it was indeed a temptation to cooperate with Yunhong.

"Bastard, this is our Xianjinyi business, relying on foreigners, do you want others to say how weak we are Xianjinyi warriors? And who knows what the identities of these foreigners are, what kind of thoughts they have, the chaos at the South Gate was caused by them! ”

"I think I can work with foreign people, I heard that they have magical items and have drugs that can make the human body immune to Kabanevirus, and working with them may change the status quo of Xianjinyi or the whole of Nihonoto!"

"Seconded, I also think that the foreigner is credible, and the head of the Sifang River family originally planned to cooperate with them, the incident at the training ground is really breathtaking, and Wu Xin's life was saved by that foreigner."

"They have such a strong armed force and medicine to immitate Kabane infection, I don't think they will take a fancy to us, but the benefits of our cooperation with them are very obvious."

"Seconded."

"What do you think, Lord Calamus? Do you think those foreigners can be trusted? ”

The eyes of the samurai converged on the calamus of the Sifang River, and many people echoed it.

"Calamus-sama, you are now the head of the Sifang Chuan family, and we believe that you can make the right judgment."

"If you can, ask Lady Calamus to come into contact with those foreigners, you represent the opinions of all of us."

Seeing that the spearhead was pointed at her, she frowned slightly and smiled haggardly: "Let me think about it, I will discuss it with that Mr. Yun." ”

In the middle of the night, the meeting was dissolved, the moonlight sprinkled on the empty wooden floor in the council hall and glowed softly, the Sifang Chuan Iris was pondering, Jiuzhi Laiqi, who had been sitting behind her, smashed his fist to the floor and startled the Sifang Chuan Calamus, she covered her cherry lips and looked back at her guard warrior cautiously wondering: "Laiqi, what's wrong?" ”

Jiuzhi Laiqi said with a cold face and unwillingly: "Beast, those bastards just want to give the responsibility to Miss Calamus, once there is any accident with those foreign people, they will definitely blame all the faults on Miss Calamus." It is obvious that Jinyi is in a critical moment, and they only think about their own interests one by one! ”

Sifangchuan calamus covered her lips and chuckled: "It's too exaggerated, this is originally the responsibility that the Sifangchuan family and daughter need to bear." ”

"But..." Jiuzhi Laiqi still wants to speak.

"Laiqi, I'm sorry, I want to be alone for a while."

Looking at the lonely background where the Sifang Sichuan calamus was kneeling and sitting, Jiuzhi Laiqi clenched his fists and said respectfully: "Yes." ”

Jiuzhi came to live and left, only Sifang Chuan Iris was left in the meeting hall, she hugged her legs, her side face was pillowed on her knees, staring at the cold moon outside the house, Rou Yi grabbed her long skirt and endured the sense of grievance in her heart, tears fell to the back of her hands, cold to the bones and a sense of loneliness of being abandoned surrounded her body and mind, as if staying in the deep sea that could not breathe was unbearable.

"Father, I have done what you told me not to cry in front of everyone, and not to show weakness, but what should I do..."
