142 Beginning 1
The maid took Lu Liang and his party into an elegant courtyard, surrounded by green bamboos and cypresses, a few koi fish in the goldfish pond were swimming happily, and there was an artificial stream winding in the courtyard. On the stone bridge above the news stood an old man in a white kimono, who was none other than Hanakaiin Lu Liang.
I saw that although he was pale and bright, there was no lack of heroism between his eyebrows, his body was straight, and there was always a smiling face on his wrinkled face.
Seeing Lu Liang walk in, the old man also walked down from the stone bridge slowly, and walked towards Lu Liang, but his eyes were always looking at the two behind Lu Liang.
"Xiaoliang, don't give your grandfather a referral soon. As he spoke, he let the three men into the house.
By this time, there were already four small tables in the house, each with the same dish, a plate of pale yellow pickled ginger, a small bowl of vegetarian crispy melon, a plate of sashimi with dipping sauce next to it, and a saury.
The four of them entered the house one after another, and after the guests and hosts were seated, Lu Liang and Lu Liang sat on one side, opposite Heros and Wen Hao.
This time, it was Wen Hao who was the first to speak: "That~ Can you eat?"
"Haha!" the old man smiled heartily and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of please, "Please start, guest, let's talk while eating!"
..........
When the other three put down their chopsticks one after another. Only Wen Hao was still eating.
"In this way, Xiaoliang, not long after you left Kyoto, you met some assassins, and then these two young heroes came to the rescue and killed the assassins, so that you could escape!"
"Exactly!" Lu Liang replied, "Especially this Miss Helos has taken good care of me along the way. He just wanted to say more good things about Heros and Wen Hao, so that he could seek some benefits for the two of them in Lu Liang.
But the old man obviously misunderstood: "En!" He looked Heros up and down, nodded and said, "Ms. Heros, you are indeed outstanding! Xiaoliang, you have to treat others well, if you need anything, just talk to grandpa, our Huakaiyuan family still has some status in Kyoto, and it can be regarded as a famous family." We will not treat our guests badly. ”
Lu Liang had no choice but to nod awkwardly.
After the meal, it was already afternoon, and Lu Liang of Huakaiyuan said that he needed to rest when he was old, so he asked the maids around him to send off the guests.
On the way back to his room, Lu Liang was still pondering, the old man hadn't mentioned the tips until now, either he didn't know, or he didn't think it was necessary, both possibilities were there, I can't bet, but I also tried it yesterday, deliberately saying that it was a package, but he answered and said that it didn't matter if the letter was not delivered. What the hell is this.........
"Young Master!" a deep and powerful voice interrupted Lu Liang's thoughts.
"What?"
"Outside the door there is a man dressed as a samurai, who calls himself Yuji Inoue, and says that he is your friend. The man dressed as a family member said respectfully.
"Ah, Miss Helos, Wen Hao, please go back to your room and rest, I'm going to see a friend. Lu Liang glanced at him and motioned for the two to withdraw first.
Since Helos is an eye-catching presence wherever she goes, and Wen Hao knows how to eat, Lu Liang wants to avoid unnecessary trouble and decides to go on his own. For now, let's get in touch with the outside world and maybe get some useful information.
Helos didn't want to show her head too much, but Wen Hao was...... Eat enough and be sleepy. So I went back to my room first.
.............
Walking to the front yard, there was a young man standing in front of the door, wearing a cyan kimono and carrying a black sword at his waist, and his expression was very excited when he saw Lu Liang.
stepped forward and saluted: "Lu Liangjun, aren't you going out of the house?" I heard that you are back, so I will come to visit immediately!"
"Yu Erjun, something happened, I can't come back alive. ”
"What's going on?"
"Where is this place to talk, please go inside!" Lu Liang said and made a gesture of please.
But the young warrior didn't move, grabbed Lu Liang's wrist, and said with a smile: "Haha!
...........
The adjectives of the bright lights and drunken gold fans are talking about here, Kabuki Street, and the gold cave that men have been thinking about for a long time.
"This is the old place you are talking about?"
"yes, what's the matter, didn't you always shout to come before," Yuji teased with a smile.
"Hehe~" Lu Liang thought to himself, after making trouble for a long time, this flower courtyard turned out to be a gentleman!
The two found a shop that they said they frequented, and asked for two girls, two pots of wine, and a few side dishes.
As soon as he sat down, Yuji couldn't wait to ask: "Lu Liangjun, let's talk about it, what's going on!"
Lu Liang took a bite of food unhurriedly: "I was sent to deliver a letter, and I met several assassins along the way, and the guards were all dead, if I hadn't met two knights who saved me, it is estimated that the corpses would have rotted." ”
Hearing this, Yuer sighed for a while: "It's a shame that you are still talking so calmly." It's worthy of being from a big family, but if it were me, I would be scared to death. ”
"Heh, you're a samurai, why are you so cowardly!"
Yuji was not angry: "It's hereditary, the old man is dead, so I have to come over!"
"Eh, Yu Erjun, seeing that you are very well-informed, have there been any strange incidents happening recently!" Lu Liang finally brought the topic to business.
"Hey, you're asking the right person, I invited a friend who was in the way of the commission for a drink the other day. I just happened to learn a shocking news!Guess what..........." Yuji showed a burst of excitement, as if he had thought of something, and his face turned a little pale.
The corners of Lu Liang's mouth raised, knowing that this was the right question.
immediately filled Yu Er with a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "Yu Erjun, don't sell Guanzi, you see this girl can't wait." ”
So Yuji used the strength of the wine to tell what he knew.
It turned out that one night five days ago, the Kyoto Local Inspection Division's direct department, the office received a report that someone had burgled and killed a person and abducted a minor girl.
Although the emperor is not as powerful as the shogun, this Kyoto is also at the foot of the Son of Heaven, so how could this open fire battle happen? At that time, I only thought that it was a group of bandits who had infiltrated Kyoto, so I sent three samurai to lead a team of ashigaru to find out.
By the time the samurai arrived, the doors of the houses had collapsed, and the walls of the courtyard were somewhat damaged, with scratch-like damage. The samurai felt that something was wrong, and immediately drew their swords, and the group entered the courtyard one after another.
Ahh
At this moment, a man's heart-rending cry came from the house, and then he only felt bloody, and the ashigaru people in the courtyard were obviously afraid, and some people wanted to run away immediately, but fortunately, the priests were all well-trained, and even samurai who had been on the battlefield, and they had seen a lot of big scenes, and this little thing could still withstand it.
When a group of people were about to enter, a man stumbled out of the house, and by the moonlight, even the samurai's faces turned a little pale. I saw that the man's face was distorted, his arms had been deformed, and his body was full of hideous blood holes, especially on his body, his internal organs had been hollowed out, and his intestines were drooping to the ground. I didn't walk two inconveniences and fell to the ground, and I couldn't die again.
The samurai did not care about their timidity at the moment, and rushed to the door of the house with their swords, and when they entered, they saw oh my God! The scene inside the house was like the hell of Shura, and there were three crooked corpses lying on the ground, and the corpses were splattered with blood all over the walls, and there were scraps of minced flesh all over the ground. At that time, a few ashigaru couldn't stand it and vomited against the wall.
When everyone was stunned, they saw a black shadow flash out of the back door, and immediately two samurai chased out with a few ashigaru, leaving one person and the rest of ashigaru to block the scene, and the back door of the family's house was leading to the back mountain.
But the few people who chased him did not come back until noon the next day, and the chief of the commission sent people to chase them, but they did not even find the corpses, so the world evaporated.
"The one who drank with me was the samurai who stayed behind to block the scene, and after a few days, his hands were still trembling slightly when he spoke!" The two girls were shocked when they heard this story.
"This matter has been suppressed by the government like this?"
"What else to do? If you make a big fuss, you will have to lose the hat of the official master!"
Lu Liangxin said that this kind of scene must not be caused by man, the means are extremely cruel, no matter how you think about it, it has something to do with ghouls!
When Lu Liang was thinking, he could only hear
The "Shinsengumi" has a loud and powerful voice
"Search for the aspirants! No one is allowed to move!" The leader was a handsome young man with a knife at his waist, his eyes sharp, and the thick calluses on his hands looked like they were left by long-term knife practice.
Behind him was a young man who was always smiling gently, as if he was weak and couldn't help his appearance, but he had an aura like a sword. Lu Liang instinctively felt that this guy was a dangerous existence.
"Mr. Hijikata" smiled and called the young man in front of him, "Yes........ Kill them all!"
