11 He is the one who brings hope and the one who fulfills it
"Oracle? At this time? ”
The anger in his heart was about to erupt like a volcano, and when he heard the unexpected news, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then subconsciously looked at Chu Xuan, who was always expressionless, like an elegantly shaped sculpture, kneeling next to the guard who came to deliver the message.
"Hurry up, please."
Immediately afterward, Kenshin Uesugi stood up from his seat and walked towards the door of the main hall.
Behind her, all the retainers of the Uesugi family also looked at each other and followed, as if the "oracle" had a very high status in their hearts, at least on the surface.
"Mr. Chu Xuan...... You also go to meet the shrine maiden of the Harusayo Shrine and follow the Haruyo. ”
When passing by Chu Xuan, who was kneeling near the entrance of the main hall, the beautiful girl Uesugi Kenshin stopped and whispered to him.
Her plain white sleeveless dress has the smell of sandalwood, indicating that she should believe in Buddhism; And Chu Xuan was on the top of the mountain, and he also saw the Bishamen Hall built in the small courtyard where Qianxin lived, as well as the "Bizi Flag" and "Ranlong Flag" hanging on the training ground.
But now that he saw the attitude of the beautiful girl Qianxin towards the witches from the Chun Yu Shrine, or the "oracle", Chu Xuan had a new understanding of the position of Shinto in this country.
But...... Why is it related to Chun Yue again?
Although the pronunciation of the name of the "Spring Said" of the Spring Said Shrine and the half-blood female ninja Spring Said is the same, and the gods worshiped are not the Cool Palace Spring Say, but the Wu Urn Mallet Order, the Jingjin Lord Order, the Heavenly Er House Root Order, and the Selling God, but Chu Xuan always has a feeling that the oracle from the witch maiden of the Spring Shrine may be inseparable from the Cool Palace Spring Shrine, who is not in this world at all.
"Lord Qianxin, that suspicious boy is still unknown, what qualifications does he have to go with us to meet the oracle!
What if he collides with the shrine maiden of the Spring Shrine and the gods condemn us! ”
I don't know why, Kakizaki Jingjia seemed to look at Chu Xuan very unpleasantly, and still didn't forget to target Chu Xuan at this time, but this time the beautiful girl Qianxin turned her head and glared at her with undoubted majesty, and reprimanded in a low voice:
"Shut up! I've decided! ”
This beautiful black girl no longer uses "I", but uses "I" to refer to herself, and whether it is the Kakizaki Keike family or other retainers, it seems that they are very aware of Uesugi Kenshin's speaking habits, and after hearing this word, they all obediently shut their mouths, and no one dares to question her decision anymore.
But although no one spoke out against it anymore, it didn't mean that they were all convinced by Uesugi Ken's confidence, and Chu Xuan, who gradually fell to the back of the line with the half-breed female ninja Chun Yu, observed it a little, and many people showed disapproving expressions on the back of the black long straight beautiful girl.
However, at this time, Kenshin Uesugi, who always had a poker face and was full of majesty in her every move, showed a little excited expression, because she had a hunch that the shrine maiden who had brought the oracle at this critical time would definitely make the game develop in her favor.
It is precisely because of this innate intuition that she is able to grasp every subtle change on the battlefield, command the troops like a cloud of peers, throw off the master of the art of war, Usami Dingmi, and the number one fierce general Kakizaki Keijia, and establish her own prestige through victory after victory.
"Mikome, why are you in such a hurry?"
Uesugi Kenshin and the retainers only greeted the door of the main hall and stopped going out, but the shrine maiden of the Harumi shrine almost rushed to the door of the main hall, and it seemed that she had already rushed directly to the mountain when the guards came to report.
"Please forgive me, Lord Kenshin, this is really for a reason.
A pillar of smoke rose in the spring mountain before, did you find anyone there? ”
The slightly panting witch grabbed the hand of the beautiful girl Kenshin, and asked her in a very fast voice.
Seeing that the shrine maiden who had hurried with an oracle was concerned about the suspicious man as soon as she opened her mouth, many of the retainers of the Uesugi family turned their heads to look at him in surprise—perhaps some of them were surprised by the "uncertain prophet" of Uesugi Kenshin.
Chu Xuan's glasses, which fell at the back of the team, reflected a dazzling light, and sure enough, the great god of spring said...... No, the oracle of the Spring Taisha has a lot to do with him.
"Is that the man?"
The witch who was about the same age as Qianxin, with a little divine aura in her soft appearance, looked over along everyone's eyes, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw Chu Xuan, who was standing there with reflective glasses.
According to Chu Xuan's observations, the reason why that witch could determine at a glance that she was the person she was looking for in the oracle was not only because he was the only man here, but also because she was very familiar with everyone in the Uesugi family.
But even so, the beautiful girl Kenshin and her retainers still received this shrine maiden from the Spring Shrine in a "business-like" manner, without showing too much intimacy.
And the witch was the same, after making sure that Chu Xuan was safe, she let go of the beautiful girl's hand, sorted out the slightly messy red and white witch costume, and then entered the main hall under the guidance of Uesugi Kenshin.
After everyone had sat down in the lower position, the witch who was standing in front of everyone pulled Chu Xuan, who was expressionless, and announced to the people of the Uesugi family in a solemn and sacred tone:
"Regarding this man, the 'Himiko' of the Harumai Taisha Shrine received a revelation from the gods:
He is the one who brings hope and the one who makes it happen. ’
The Harusa shrine will be his protector, and all the Harumu shrines will provide him with shelter. ”
Hearing this news, everyone in the Uesugi family was shocked, and many people began to talk to each other below, glad that they didn't really make any unfavorable moves to Chu Xuan just now, and they also began to praise the lord's "far-reaching thoughts" like an afterthought.
Although Kakizaki Keijia still had a clearly unconvinced expression on her face, she didn't dare to question the oracle from Himiko of the Harumai Taisha Shrine, so she had to swallow it forcibly.
As for why the gods would get a Chinese man from Chang'an in the Han Dynasty here, why did they know that a column of smoke would rise from the sky where he was, and why did they think that he could bring hope and fulfill wishes......
It doesn't need to be explained, because that's the gods.
"I see...... No wonder ......"
After learning about the oracle from the witch, the beautiful girl Qianxin crossed her arms with her hands, and nodded her head in understanding, probably making up for what Chu Xuan said just now, "I was inexplicably summoned from Chang'an to the Spring Mountain City".
"Sure enough—it's a gift from the gods!"
As expected, the beautiful girl Kenshin suddenly stood up from the front seat, turned around, and said loudly to her retainers with glowing eyes.
"Oh——!"
"The Uesugi family has been in martial arts for a long time!"
"The Uesugi family is in a big hurry!"
"Long live the Uesugi family!"
……
Everyone in the Uesugi family was boiling, whether it was true or not, they all seemed very happy on the surface, and even the Kakizaki Jing family had to force a smile at this time, and followed everyone to celebrate the gods for sending Chu Xuan to their spring mountain city.
- Although Chu Xuan hadn't said that he was going to join this force that was still suspicious of him just now, the Uesugi family seemed to treat him as their own from top to bottom.
"Lord Kenshin, please wait for a moment.
As the protector of this man of destiny, we will not interfere with his choices and actions, but we will do our best to ensure his safety and freedom.
So if he doesn't plan to play for the Uesugi family, then he doesn't belong to you.
- Himiko has conveyed the will of the gods, and all the shrines of Haruma are his shelters, and all the shrine maidens of Harumu shrines are his protectors. ”
Just when the Uesugi family was boiling, the shrine maiden of the Harumi Shrine poured a basin of cold water on them with a serious expression.
The female generals who were still elated just now immediately quieted down, and they all looked at Chu Xuan, who was always expressionless, in a worried mood, for fear that he would refuse to join the Uesugi family because of his previous suspicions about him.
- Of course, such as Kakizaki Jingjia and others, and possibly Usami Dingman and others, maybe they are actually praying in their hearts that Chu Xuan will get out of here and don't stay.
Chu Xuan...... Would you like to ...... sir? Out of the Uesugi family?
Or...... Do you want to go back to Chang'an?
…… If you want to go home, the Haruma Shrine will be responsible for getting you back safely. ”
Even the beautiful girl Kenshin, who has always been careful to maintain her majesty, has a weak look of "please stay and help me" in her eyes at this time - but it is only a fleeting trace, and even those who see it are likely to have the illusion of "I was wrong just now".
However, although the beautiful girl Qianxin seems to be willing to give up Chu Xuan, the "person who brings hope and realizes wishes", and respects his choice, she is actually very dark-bellied.
In her words, Chu Xuan was left with only two options, either to go to the Uesugi family, or to return to China, and intentionally or unintentionally ignored the path of the other forces in the Shishi.
- If she can't get Chu Xuan, then it is the best choice to let other competitors not get Chu Xuan either.
If Uesugi Kenshin only relied on intuition to say such things, then she was indeed a manufacturable material, and with Chu Xuan's assistance, even if she perished in three months...... It is not impossible to unify the text.
After Uesugi Kenshin officially said the words of solicitation to Chu Xuan, there was silence in the hall, and everyone held their breath, waiting for Chu Xuan's answer.
And the witch who was supposed to remind Chu Xuan that he could also be out of other forces didn't say anything, just quietly waiting for Chu Xuan to make a choice. (To be continued.) )
