The birds returned to their nests, the beasts returned home quietly, without making a sound, and the sky slowly darkened, and another night came, and this ancient and unspoiled forest fell into pure darkness at the earliest, for even the moonlight could not penetrate the overlapping forest sea.

Moreover, the towering trees here stand proudly, the ancient trees are intertwined, and the scenery that catches the eye is all green and upright, and there is no trace of human activity.

Pei Chen was very suspicious that he could really find that small bone-eroding well in this endless forest sea. That's right, this is a certain forest area in Takeshu, located in the territory of Musashi Province, and it is also the place where everything in a certain work began.

Pei Chen didn't care about the loss of demonic power at all, he didn't even need horses, he simply relied on controlling the gravitational field and the gravitational force of the planet to repel each other, and in the state of anti-gravity flight, he came here directly in one day according to the guidance of some chronicles and legends.

That's right! With the intelligence bonus of the White Fox Mask, his control has increased greatly, and he is already fully able to master the gravitational manipulation skill of the LV4 level, or it is completely two skills from the previous one, and the effect is very different!

The basis is the support of the two killing stones and the fox mask's twice the energy value recovery rate attribute, even if he is in the state of anti-gravity flight, but as long as the control is enough, then the consumption and recovery of demon power just cancel each other out at a very subtle threshold.

With the turn of his mind, the invisible force will directly separate the layers of jungle in front of him, the intersecting vines will be torn off, and the thick dead branches and fallen leaves all over the ground will be compacted and leveled, paving a way for Pei Chen!

Of course, if he encounters that kind of thick tree, Pei Chen will still choose to take a detour, after all, it is a thankless task to pull up and move such a thick tree. Pretending to be like the wind, always with me...... But it has to be somewhere else, doesn't it? If it's too much, you'll be stupid.

As the saying goes, when one person enters the forest, a hundred birds are silent. Now Pei Chen perfectly copied this sentence, not to mention that the hundred birds were silent, even the hundred beasts didn't dare to make a sound, they just hid in their nests and shivered, for fear that the catastrophe would suddenly come!

Although Pei Chen once again obtained a killing stone, he once again obtained some of the skills and experience of the Nine Tails in the use of demonic power before his death, and his mastery of the basic use of energy was on a higher level. He can even partially change his appearance to hide his demon pupils that are different from ordinary people. But unfortunately, he still doesn't know anything about how to restrain the demonic energy, and the authentic and pure demonic energy from the Nine Tails is unscrupulously scattered, which can be described as demonic energy!

As long as you have a strong sense of spirit and a keen perception, you know that this is a ruthless character, and when you feel the breath, you will avoid it from a distance. So much so that Pei Chen walked in the pristine forest that fell at night for a long time, and he didn't even see a single bird feather, and even he began to wonder if this was a dead land.

Doesn't it say that the uncivilized ancient wilderness is full of birds and beasts? Why haven't you even seen a rabbit?! It seems that this statement is still too exaggerated, if the mountains are really full of birds and beasts, then there is no living space for human beings in this world.

Walking into the middle of a woodland where the trees were relatively sparse, the soft moonlight sprinkled down and gilded the body of the young man wandering alone in the jungle with a faint silver glow. There was no one around, and the woods on both sides were only silent and silent, except for the occasional gust of wind blowing, and the branches and leaves gently swayed and made a rustling sound.

Pei Chen pondered hard about what iconic existence there was around the Well of Eating Bones, but after thinking about it, it seemed that there was only the Imperial God Tree, and the role of that era tree was relatively heavy, and it even appeared many times in the theater version.

However, even if it is an era tree, without the support of a huge energy source, it may not be particularly tall and straight! At least Pei Chen has risen to the air several times to observe, and he has not found any trees that are particularly eye-catching, and he can find that they stand out from the crowd at a glance.

Can you just try your luck? Or do you want to wait until the Takeda family is defeated to carve up Musashi Province, and then let Imagawa Yoshimoto send soldiers over to open a large search?

After hesitating for a moment, Pei Chen decided to search the periphery of the forest, because in the original book, every time the village of Kaede defeated the monster or even killed the monster, the villagers would transport those bones to the bone erosion well to dispose of it, so it seems that the well will definitely not be in the depths of the forest, otherwise it will be too troublesome and unsafe.

If Pei Chen really couldn't find the location of the existence of Maple Village, he would even want to find that village first, and then follow the road from the forest near the village, and naturally he would be able to achieve his goal. It's a pity, although there are records that there is indeed a legend of a maple village and the most powerful witch in the Warring States period nearby, but Pei Chen just can't find it. I don't know if the enchantment was placed on the outskirts of the village or if the entire village was relocated.

I searched all night, but in vain. Pei Chen was not annoyed, it seemed that the mask of the white fox could indeed be very effective in calming his mind and contemplating his mind, so that he would not be bothered by too many negative emotions. Even the evil thought of killing the stone seems to have been suppressed, and there is no longer a seemingly innocent voice in the ears and in the bottom of the heart to bewitch oneself.

Walking out of the forest, facing the rising sun in the east, Pei Chen lifted his spirits and decided to find another day, if he didn't have a clue, then tomorrow he would leave Musashi Province directly and go to Echigo, to meet the legendary sister Uesugi.

……

……

Imagawa family, Sunpu Castle.

Yoshimoto Imagawa is once again unhurriedly preparing for her trip to Shangluo, and this time she firmly believes that she will definitely not fail!

Although it has not yet set off, the terrifying army is so strong that it makes people feel terrible, and the large army of 20,000 people will gather when they say that they will gather, and they will crush all obstacles on the way to Shangluo with an unbeatable posture!

If it was in the past, even if it was Kamiluo, the retainers of the Imagawa family would never agree to Imagawa Yoshimoto pulling out so many troops, and she also had a lot of constraints. But now the situation is completely different, and with the wholehearted assistance of a ruthless man who is famous in Kyushu, Imagawa Yoshimoto has gradually developed the potential of a true man of the world.

Although it was a stain that she was attacked and killed on the way to Shangluo and fled back to Sunfu Castle in embarrassment, with the help of Pei Chen, the exploits of Imagawa Yoshimoto, who was ready to swallow Owari and Mino in one fell swoop, were brilliantly dazzling, not to mention the recent rumors that she was preparing to attack Musashi Province. Such a brilliant plan can completely wash away that small stain.

Moreover, it is said that Mino Michizo, the lord of the country, is about to come to Suruga in person and prepare to give way to the country. And the Oda family of Owari Province also seems to have plans to surrender without a fight, just to save their lives......

Taken together, these many matters make Miss Imagawa Yoshimoto's whole person seem to be exuding an incomparably dazzling light, and there is an indescribable nobility compared to the previous style of the eldest lady, and there is a noble temperament and arrogance between her gestures, which makes it impossible to look at it directly.

"And report! Your Excellency! Lord Peichen's envoy is here! ”

"Oh? Is it? Imagawa Yoshimoto's eyes lit up, "Let him in immediately!" ”

So, not long after, the figure of the heroic and capable beautiful girl swordsman, Akechi Mitsuhide, appeared in front of Imagawa Yoshimoto's eyes.

“…… Lord of the Kingdom, I am Lord Peichen's subordinate and betrothed. With a reluctant face, he made a salute to Imagawa Yoshimoto, and Akechi Mitsuhide said, "I have come to report to you about Mino and Musashi Kuni......"

"How are you!" Imagawa Yoshimoto frowned and interrupted the other party's words, she had some impressions of Akechi Mitsuhide, that is, the beauty, youth, and woman who were said to be favored by him before! For this reason, she made it difficult for the other party, but she didn't expect that the hateful fellow would treat her as a messenger...... Huh? Huh! Wait! Wait!

Did you hear something strange just now?!

"What did you just say?! Married?! "Imagawa Yoshimoto almost went away, his little face turned red, this is not shy, he is completely angry!" Are you kidding? I don't remember what that guy was engaged to! ”

"That was the situation before, and now, Lord Pei Chen does have a marriage contract with Zaixia!" Akechi Mitsuhide said without humility or arrogance, of course, in the eyes of Imagawa Yoshimoto, it was a provocative expression.

The face of the Black Changzhi Country Lord turned blue with anger, and she resisted the urge to draw her sword and kill, but even everyone could see the deep unrest in her heart, because the slender jade fingers that tightly grasped the scabbard of Zong San's left text were held extremely hard, so that the knuckles turned white.

But I don't know why, Imagawa Yoshimoto's expression that seemed to be blackened suddenly became very calm, and he laughed coldly, and the style that bloomed at that moment, along with the wise Mitsuhide who was a woman, and the maids around him were stunned for a long time.

But this beautiful smile that should have made people feel like a spring breeze contained in it made everyone's backs wet with cold sweat.

"You said Pei Chen has a marriage contract with you? What is it because of? She asked with a calm sneer.

"......" Akechi Mitsuhide was slightly stunned, this script doesn't seem to be right?! She originally wanted to stimulate Imagawa Yoshimoto, but she didn't want to go so far, lest Imagawa Yoshimoto go out of town and cut off his own head - after all, Lord Pei Chen is not here now, and no one can stop the blackened Lord Imagawa.

But now it seems that it is still out of play?!

"And didn't you say that you were Pei Chen's subordinate before? Since you are courtiers, how can there be a marriage contract between you? Imagawa Yoshimoto said to himself, as if he was refuting Akechi Mitsuhide's nonsense, and as if he was comforting himself and cheering himself up.

"The relationship between the monarch and the minister is there! Is it so easy to trespass...... Belch! When Imagawa Yoshimoto said this, he couldn't help but hesitate and was silent. It seems that she also thought of something that bothered her.

Akechi Mitsuhide took advantage of the victory to pursue: "That's right! The relationship between the monarch and the minister is there! How can it be so easy to trespass! But I'm just temporarily using it for Lord Pei Chen, but I'm not officially entering the office, and I'm not a real courtier......" As she spoke, the girl directly said Saito Michizo's request to write a national statement, so angry that Imagawa Yoshimoto trembled, and wanted to kill the hateful girl in front of him with a knife!

Akechi Mitsuhide is also secretly gritting his teeth, this hateful Lord Imagawa has always kept himself in a posture of saluting and not letting himself get up, obviously he just wants to kneel all the time and press himself!

Imagawa Yoshimoto's eyes grew cold, and he suddenly laughed a little nervously - from this point of view, maybe she and Pei Chen are really a bit husband and wife!

"Isn't it just Minong's letting the country go? Miss Ben tells you! Miss Ben doesn't want that thing! She made a very decisive decision, "Miss Ben will personally lead the troops to attack the Mino Kingdom, and she will never, absolutely not promise you those ...... Those who are extremely rude to the extreme!! ”

Nani?! Now it was the turn of Akechi Mitsuhide to be the general, and the girl looked at the lord of a country in front of her with a shocked face. If you throw a courtier out to marry, you can get a country without spending a single soldier, so how can you look at it as a high interest, high share and risk-free return, right?

But it's such a cost-effective political deal, but the Imagawa Yoshimoto in front of him directly refused?! How can it be? Or is this an irrational choice made by overstimulation?
