Geographically, Kyoto and Osaka are not far apart, but it only takes about 40 minutes to see Osaka Castle by taxi from Kyoto.

However, in the Edo period, it may have taken some time. Kyoto is located on a hilly hill ground, so the roads are mostly mountain paths and potholes, and the Wakoku people used to travel mainly on foot at that time.

Lu Liang and his entourage have only traveled for more than half a day since they met Hua Kai Yuan, and they have already learned that it is very close to Kyoto, so it can be proved that Hua Kai Yuan will not leave Kyoto for a long time. So all this should still be in the gestation stage...............

"Look!" Lu Liang said, pointing to a huge city in the distance.

Since they learned the specific location of Kyoto, Lu Liang and the three of them decided not to take the trail, but simply go straight over the mountains and mountains, so that not only could they have more time left, but also avoided unnecessary trouble on the trail.

At this time, they occupied a very high place with a view of Kyoto. Although it was already dark, Kyoto was already lit up, and it was a bustling scene.

"Are we going into the city like this?" Helos pointed to the clothes on her and Wen Hao's bodies, and asked Lu Liang.

Lu Liang didn't reply: "Don't worry, it's already night at this time, and no one will care about you at all." After a pause, "Besides, I'm the young master of the Huakaiyuan family, as long as I return to the Huakaiyuan family smoothly, I still don't have two clothes to change!"

"I think, this guy is completely into the play........" Wen Hao said expressionlessly.

"Moreover, I've been paying attention to the mission book, I don't know if you have noticed, the moment we saw Kyoto, the mission prompt of the mission book changed. Lu Liang said and opened his mission book.

I saw that the [Mission] column on the burning golden parchment has been changed to: Enter Heiankyo and find the ghoul leader within 5 days.

"Looks like my guess is correct, let's hurry up and get into the city!"

..........

Kyoto at night can be described as a drunken gold fan.

In such a prosperous and peaceful city, the governors who guard the city are often also the children of some families, and most of them usually drink excessively, and they don't know where to drink flower wine at this time.

When Lu Liang and the others walked to the bottom of the city, they looked up (the castle tower in Japan is divided into three floors, and the first floor is not too high) and there were only two ashigaru napping against the pillar.

Secretly, this guard is really lax!

Then he shouted loudly, "Hey-hey-" for a while, and the two ashigaru in the city reacted.

"Who are you, what are you doing in the middle of the night?" asked one of them, warily.

"I'm Lu Liang of Huakai Academy, I came here late, and I hope that the two of you will be more accommodating, I have a little meaning, it's not a respect~ Haha!" Lu Liang smiled flatteringly, reached out and took out some silver taels from his arms, and held them in his hands.

When the two of them heard it, it was a person from the Hanakaiyuan family, and they were wearing hunting clothes, and they were also relieved, this Hanakaiyuan family was the second-ranked Onmyoji clan in Heianjing, and they didn't dare to slack off at the moment. In fact, what attracted them the most was what Lu Liang was holding in his hand.

Squeak-squeak-squeak-squeak-squeaks

The gates were wide open

Lu Liang was the first to bear it, swaggering into the city, Helos and Wen Hao followed, walking in front of the two ashigaru, Lu Liang bowed his hand and said: "The two of you are hard, I encountered something on the road, I don't know if you can bother one of the two and send me home...........? It's a thank you gift. ”

As he spoke, Lu Liang took out some silver from his arms and put it in his hand, plus those just now, this is not a small amount.

At that time, it was also a chore to look at the castle gates, but the status of the samurai at the end of the Edo period was much worse than before, and although they also belonged to the ruling class, it was really far worse than in the Warring States period. That's why there were so many ronin in the Edo period.

At the moment, the two ashigaru agreed, but it was not good for the two of them to go, what should I do with this city gate!, and finally discussed that one person would go to send Lu Liang and his party, and the rest would guard the city.

Taking the silver and looking behind Lu Liang, the ashigaru only felt that the hairs on his back were a little erect, this was out of instinctive fear, so he asked in a trembling voice, "Young Master Lu Liang, who are these two behind you?"

Lu Liang smiled lightly and replied, "Oh, those are my two friends, without them, I would not have returned to the capital alive." Then his expression changed, "Don't ask more, just lead the way, the silver is indispensable to you." ”

.............

Along the way, there were not many detours, and the capital was also bustling with extraordinary time, and at this time, places similar to nightclubs were also directly in Kabuki Street and other flower streets and willow alleys.

Lu Liang also chatted and learned a lot about Kyoto City from Ashigaru, who led the way. Including the new public security organization directly appointed by the Kyoto Institute Representative, the new selection group!

Walking to a tall door, Ashigaru trembled and signaled that this was the place, and then fled and left.

To say that this city guard soldier is not a good thing, usually the city gate to come to some businessmen dressed up people, the women they bring are all to check one by one, meet some postures, but also to search carefully for a long time, the bosses can not afford to provoke, so they have to swallow their anger.

The stunning beauty behind the young master of Huakaiyuan today is indeed amazing enough at first glance, Ashigaru has guarded the city for so many years, and he has never seen such a cold beauty, but the feeling that Helos gives him is a difference in predation level. Even though Helos had a gentle smile on her face all the time, he only felt cold and swishing.

Lu Liang stepped forward and reached out to knock on the door.

The small door at the gatehouse opened a gap, and the face of a middle-aged man poked out from it, looking at the three people in front of him, and hurriedly opened the door at a glance: "Young master, aren't you going out?" looked around the door again, and said suspiciously, "What about the guards and the ........two behind you?"

Lu Liang didn't know the name of the person who came, so he had to cover his head with his hand, and pretended to be weak and said: "Don't worry about it so much, I met a gangster on the road, but fortunately the two knights came to the rescue, otherwise........ It's just that the people of the escort are all ........... to protect me," he said, shedding a few tears of hypocrisy.

Watching Helos and Wen Hao, they secretly admired it, and said that Lu Liang's acting skills were really nice

When the middle-aged man who looked like a deacon heard this, he didn't panic, and quickly let Lu Liang and the three of them into the door: "Young master, you are frightened. I'm going to give my way back to the Lord!"

Lu Liang grabbed the middle-aged man's hand and said, "Eh~ not busy, not busy" leaned closer and whispered, "It's getting late, and my grandfather has already fallen asleep at this time, so let's talk about it tomorrow, so as not to disturb his old man's rest." "He still needs to sum it up, but he doesn't want to see the owner so soon.

The middle-aged man even claimed: "It's still thoughtful and thoughtful, and I haven't eaten yet." I'll send someone to prepare a meal for you. ”

The middle-aged man took the three of them to Lu Liang's house in Huakaiyuan, turned around and was about to leave, but Lu Liang stopped him: "By the way, give me these two friends, find some decent clothes." It's hard work. ”

"What did the young master say, this is what the people should do!By the way, do you still need to arrange a guest room for the two of you?"

"No, my room is big enough to live in. ”

The middle-aged man glanced at Helos a few times, and as soon as his eyes rolled, he didn't ask more, the affairs of the master's family, it is not good to be a slave too much, and some of the young people nowadays are out of line, which is nothing.

When the blood moon is in the sky, the dark clouds swirl, the breeze is coming, and the sound of deer (bamboo tube used to store water in Japanese gardens) hitting stones in the courtyard is continuous.
