Chapter 34: The Eternal Bird (7)
"Why is it so messy out there?" The night that should have been quiet has become unusual today, curled up in the quilt and thinking about how to reconcile Kaguya and the unequal sister Hong sat up with some confusion, and then leaned to the window to see what was going on outside?
Looking out of the window, the dark night was brightened by dozens of torches, and those samurai who were rarely seen on weekdays were all running with swords at the moment, and from the mouths of these people, Mei Hong clearly heard many words such as "set out to crusade against Kaguyahime" and "wash away the shame of the head of the family", which frightened Mei Hong and sat down on the ground all of a sudden.
"Father wants to use soldiers against my sister?!" Mei Hong was reluctant to confirm the truth of this speculation no matter what, but now that the facts were in front of her, she could no longer doubt it, "In this way, sister, she ......" Mei Hong's mind flashed pictures infected with blood and fire, which made the girl even more frightened......
"No! I'm going to my sister's ......" At this time, this was almost the only thought in Meihong's mind, so she hurriedly rummaged through her house and found a piece of clothing that she cherished. This was given to her by Kaguya very solemnly, and it was embroidered with the mark of Dye Ye Xuan. At that time, Kaguya told her that if she had to go out at night anyway, she would put on this dress and leave...... It is estimated that she also thinks that if there is a mark of Ye Xuan, there will be no eyeless monsters to attack Mei Hong.
Mei Hong didn't think much about it at the time, but she didn't expect this dress to be used today. The dress that Kaguya gave to Mei Hong was naturally very luxurious, but Mei Hong didn't have the heart to think about it at all, so she hurriedly put it on herself and walked out...... She thought that if she took the path, maybe she would be faster than waiting, and with that buffer, Kaguya would be able to escape. I believe that as long as you enter the bamboo forest, even if you are not as powerful as the samurai under your command, it will be difficult to find their traces.
With such an idea, Mei Hong rushed into the night without hesitation, but what she didn't expect was ...... It's not like waiting, and even took advantage of it......
—————————— Dividing Line ——————————
In the Dye Ye Xuan, the series of commotions caused by Yonglin's arrival had gradually subsided, and a moonlit night crisis that was supposed to be waiting for it turned into a drinking party in the end, but just as the banquet was about to end, Kaguya suddenly left the table......
"It seems that it is really a luxury to want such a plain past today......" Ye Yu threw aside the wine jug that had been poured dry. Kaguya could feel that someone was coming, and he naturally noticed it, but it was just a group of ordinary humans, and there could be no danger no matter what, plus all of this was caused by Kaguya himself after all...... Naturally, only she is qualified to finish.
"Are you here to find the princess?" Even from that far away, Yonglin could still feel the malice coming from the bamboo forest. Youkai are always much sharper than humans in this regard, "No, I've got to go see ......"
Ye Yu did not stop Yonglin's actions, if Ye Yu played the role of a father in Kaguya's life, then Yonglin was naturally a combination of mother and teacher. For Ye Yu's family, who already regards such things as "calf protection" as instinct. It would be strange if Yonglin could sit still......
The middle door was wide open, and Mei Hong, who hurriedly ran to the door of Dye Ye Xuan, happened to see Kaguya slowly coming out of the door, she was still so calm and indifferent, if she was placed in normal times, Mei Hong would naturally be attracted to her like this, but at this time, she had long been in such a mood......
"Sister!" As soon as Mei Hong said a word, she ran to Kaguya's side, but when she wanted to continue, she was stopped by Kaguya with her hand.
"Look at you, don't you usually want to learn those elegant things from your concubine? Why is it like this now......" Kaguya helped her pull her loose hair behind her ears with her hand, "And didn't the concubine tell you, don't panic at any time...... Because you panicked, the things that you could have done well have become bad. ”
"I know that, but sister!" Mei Hong desperately wants to tell her that danger is near. But somehow I just couldn't say it, and I was blocked by Kaguya when I opened my mouth several times...... It made her go crazy.
"But what? Are you trying to say that the concubine will soon be in danger? Kaguya slowly paced forward under Meihong's surprised gaze, and at this moment, the samurai of the Fujiwara family had already rushed out of the bamboo forest, "But ah, Meihong, sometimes the boundary between hunter and prey is far from being so clear......"
After saying this, Kaguya left Mei Hong in place and greeted the dozens of people in front of him alone, Mei Hong wanted to go up but was stopped by Yonglin who came out with Kaguya, "You guys are following Mei Hong through the bamboo forest, right......" Kaguya looked at Fujiwara in front of him with a calm face, and she couldn't see her joy and anger at this time from her expression alone, "My sister who uses her concubine body like this...... Fujiwara doesn't wait, you're really good enough. ”
"How so?" Mei Hong's eyes widened in disbelief. She couldn't have imagined that it was her father who took advantage of her, and according to Kaguya, if she hadn't come in a hurry, then Dye Ye Xuan wouldn't be in any danger at all...... Such a fact suddenly made my sister's eyes black, and she almost fell to the ground.
"No way. If we hadn't done that, we wouldn't have been able to walk through this bamboo forest at all! He just glanced at Mei Hong over there and continued, "Mei Hong is also a member of my Fujiwara family, and she naturally has the responsibility to be loyal to the family!" ”
"To be able to say such shameless words so righteously and awe-inspiringly, it's the only time I......'ve seen a concubine in my life," Kaguya narrowed her eyes slightly, and there was a hint of danger in her long and narrow eyes. So what are you doing so hard to come here late at night? Want to snatch the concubine back? ”
"I have gone through a lot of hard work to find Penglai Yuzhi, Miss Kaguya should naturally marry me, what does this have to do with robbery~~" Bubi waited to speak, and the retainers who came with him also laughed "haha", "I came here on the one hand to take Miss Kaguya back, and on the other hand, to receive your dowry, not ......"
"Oops...... It's really a boring answer, if you say that you are a concubine who is here to rob money and rob women, you will look up to you, but now, ......" Kaguya sneered, "If you want, just come and get it yourself!" ”
But these people in front of them will never be able to respond to Kaguya's expectations, and when they just want to take a step, they find that they can't move at all, let alone legs...... To their horror, they found that even a trivial thing like moving a finger that was not worth mentioning on a daily basis had become a luxury.
But what made them even more desperate was that the long knives that had been drawn had begun to rust and weather, as if they had been exposed to the outside for many years...... But it's not just the knives, but even they're aging rapidly......
"The concubine was originally a princess on the moon, but she was relegated to this ground because she made a mistake." In the horrified gaze of a group of people, Kaguya slowly looked up at the moon, as if the dozens of appointments in front of her were not worth mentioning in her eyes at all, and it was only at this time that she suddenly recalled the palpitating look of Ye Yu he saw this afternoon...... It was no different from the temperament that Kaguya was showing now.
"It stands to reason that a concubine can't use her strength when she's on the ground...... But who let today be the day when the concubine was exiled to the end~~" Kaguya smiled and looked at the face that was almost 10 years old in just a moment, "Blame you for your bad luck~~" (To be continued.) )
