Facing Yongzhen's question in a soft tone, Lu Xiao shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "I just wanted to go to the Xianfeng Temple of Mount Kongo to watch the sunrise tomorrow morning, and on the way, I happened to see a strange little man who wanted to climb the side of this tower. ”

"Shorty?"

Yongzhen's expression became heavy: "Turbulent people? Where is he? ”

Lu Xiao pointed behind him with his thumb: "When I called out to him behind me, that short guy seemed to be suddenly startled, and accidentally slipped and fell into the depths of the valley for a while, for which I am sorry." ”

Lu Xiao's joke with black humor obviously did not convince Yongzhen, and the elegant pharmacist looked at Lu Xiao's eyes more and more vigilant.

"If you can easily defeat the chaotic crowd of Xianfeng Temple, I don't think your Excellency is an idle person."

"Let me ask again, what is your purpose in approaching Kuro-sama?"

Lu Xiao rolled her eyes and jumped off the bookshelf.

His movements aroused Yongzhen's vigilance, and Miss Yakushi suddenly pulled out a short knife from under her wide sleeve, the blade facing Lu Xiao.

"Don't get excited, I really don't have any malice, and I'm not interested in your head-snatching dragon power."

Passing over Yongzhen, who was standing in front of Jiulang, Lu Xiao turned his gaze to the puzzled Longyin Yuzi.

"Kuro, right?"

"Hmm."

"I want to ask you a question."

Lu Xiao squatted down to make eye contact with Jiulang, and at the same time used this seemingly unguarded posture to show Yongzhen his attitude.

"You seem to be very disgusted with the power you have, have you ever thought about getting rid of this power and returning yourself to the life of an ordinary person?"

Jiulang's originally dim eyes suddenly lit up, but then he showed a wry smile: "Of course I thought about it, but this is simply impossible." ”

"The prince who has the power of the dragon and the person who receives the blessing of the prince cannot die, but can only wander in the world forever, becoming the focus of the competition between all forces."

Lu Xiao smiled kindly at Jiulang, and glanced at Yongzhen, whose face was a little complicated, with a meaningful gaze: "The power of Long Yin can indeed make people have the power of immortality, but everything in the world will have things that are mutually reinforcing. ”

"The power of the dragon will not be an exception...... Right, Miss Yongzhen? ”

Yongzhen looked at Lu Xiao's eyes flickering a little: "You...... Who the hell is it? ”

Lu Xiao stood up straight from the squatting position again, and opened his hands to signal to the two: "As you can see, an ordinary Ming person. ”

"However, the power of the dragon yin did not originate from the reed, I have heard a similar legend in my hometown, and the story ends with a great hero holding a sword that can cut off the power of immortality and put an end to the disaster caused by the dragon yin."

"I believe that the power of the dragon yin of the reed country should also have corresponding restraints, as long as it can be found......"

Jiulang hurriedly asked, "Can you end the coveting of the power of Long Yin by all forces?" Restore the peace of the Ashina country? ”

"Well...... this"

Lu Xiao scratched his cheek with his index finger with some embarrassment: "It's okay to end the covetousness of all parties for the power of Long Yin, but I want to restore calm to Wei Ming...... That's not a question I can answer. ”

Yongzhen withdrew the short knife in his hand, and his watery eyes froze on Lu Xiao's body for a while.

"Lord Jiulang, the matter is man-made, even if the power of Long Yin is cut off, the internal and external troubles faced by Reeda are not so easy to relieve."

"If you decide to get rid of the power of the dragon, Eijin will be on your side and assist Kuro-sama in finding a proper way."

'Not right. ’

Lu Xiao complained in his heart, "The opinion of the reeds you represent is that you don't want Ichiro to use the power of the dragon to protect the reeds, so he has a positive attitude towards Jiulang's killing immortality." ’

During the Warring States period of Japan, it was popular to go down to the bottom of the country, and the seriously ill Yixin had entered the last years, and if there was no accident, the future inheritance of the Ashina country would inevitably fall into the hands of Ichiro.

At the moment of internal and external troubles, Genichiro intends to take over the power in advance and use the power of Long Yin to repel the invasion of the inner government.

There are also many high-ranking officials in the country who agree with his belief in defending the motherland by any means, including the fierce general Lu Xiao had seen before, Yaxiao of the Ghost Court Criminal Department.

Even the Eagle Crowd, who originally belonged directly to Yixin, has many people who have joined Ichiro's camp, and the nominal lord Yixin has largely been hollowed out, and there are fewer and fewer credible people he can use, and Yongzhen is the most important card under his hands.

Don't look at Yongzhen's slow speech and elegant demeanor, she looks like a lady, but in fact, she is from a humble background like Ichiro Chord.

After being adopted by well-wishers, Yongzhen has been learning pharmacology with the famous pharmacist Daoxuan, and together with his master Daoxuan, he has been treating Edina's illness for many years, and after Daoxuan's death, he took over the master's position and continued to recuperate for Yixin.

Ashina Isshin was an open-minded martial artist who did not stick to any genre, and over the years, he passed on his original Ashina swordsmanship to many people, including his grandson Genichiro.

Reeda saw Yongzhen's talent in swordsmanship, and taught her his understanding of Reed's swordsmanship without reservation.

Nagajin, who is extremely talented, does not have a strong physique like Ichiro, and she has mastered the sword technique of the reed celebrity according to the power technique that suits her best, and has created a set of soft swordsmanship that is most suitable for her.

Lu Xiao had previously learned Western-style fighting techniques, and compared with the more skill-oriented oriental moves, Lu Xiao pursued efficiency more in battle, and lacked a lot of heat in the handling of subtleties.

Once she fights with Yongzhen, who is full of skill and ability, Lu Xiao is not sure if she can forcibly rely on her stronger physical fitness to defeat her.

After all, there are many moves in the East that pursue the skills of skillful fighting and four-two.

It's not that Kurou doesn't know that Yongzhen is Isshin's agent, but there are too few people he can trust at the moment, and in order to get out of captivity, he can only rely on Isshin's help to get out of the predicament.

"Yongzhen, I want to ask you to do me a favor."

Kuro took out a letter from his desk and said solemnly to Yongzhen, "Please give this letter to my ninja, after three years, I need his help again." ”

No matter how much help Yongzhen provided to him, there was always only one person in Kuro's heart that he trusted the most, the ninja who desperately protected him in the Hirata Mansion three years ago, and was resurrected by the power he gave Ryuyin.

Since the attack on Hirata's mansion three years ago, Wolf has been held alone at the bottom of a dry well by Genichiro as a suspected mole.

The faithful wolf never thought of escaping without further orders from his master.

Yongzhen took the envelope from Jiurou's hand and thought about it for a while, and finally nodded and agreed to his request: "I know, I will tell him what Kuro-sama means." ”

"As for you...... Well? ”

When Yongzhen turned around and tried to talk to Lu Xiao, there was no trace of Lu Xiao in the stargazing building.

'When?' ’

Yongzhen never relaxed her vigilance against Lu Xiao, but she didn't find out when Lu Xiao lost her trace at all.

'Traveler of the Ming Kingdom, what exactly is your purpose?' ’
