Chapter 81: The Last Hope (Part II)
"The princess's villa, I've looked around outside. Shan Hui's face was embarrassed, "There are not many people on guard, but they all advance and retreat, and they should all be elite." And it is likely that there are still alchemists stationed inside, and the risk of sneaking in is probably ...... Very high. β
"If you're up to date, I'll open the way for you. Nagi Qing said in a deep voice.
"You don't want to get in, as long as you do it, they won't have a reason to believe us. β
"Of course I'm not going to make a move. If they attack, I'll let them cut it down. In this way, they will believe in the princess's sincerity. β
"You're crazy, even if the ghost's recovery ability is super strong, it can't be stronger than a steel knife and a spear. You're going to die!"
"What's so surprising about dying for Mikoma-sama? I've been prepared for it. β
"You ......" Shan Hui glared at her for a long time, and finally shook his tail and said, "Instead of relying on you to send you to death, it is better to let me transform and rush in, as long as I run, no one can catch up with me." β
"The most you have is capable of running in the open and trying to rush into the lodge? β
"That's better than you dying at the gate. β
May Haruka closed her eyes a little sadly, they were all fighting to do the most dangerous thing, just like the people who followed her. She didn't want to see anyone sacrifice again, but she also understood how powerless her idea was.
If it weren't for her role as a messenger, she would have been responsible for opening the way.
"It's set for tonight. After a long silence, May Haruka made a decision, "Let's go to the villa together." "Only by acting at night will Nagi Qing not be so easy to spot. And the longer you wait, the more variables there are, and now that the princess has just arrived, she should not have come into contact with the enemy, and if she is also co-opted by them, then everything will be over.
"But Nagi hasn't come back yet. Shan Hui reminded.
"She's been out for three days, and no one knows when she'll be back. May Haruka shook her head, "I'll leave a message for Nagi Red, if she can come back here." β
"Message?"
"Well, if I'm gone, let her live here alone. A rare smile appeared on her face when she said this, "With her cleverness, it shouldn't be too difficult to hide herself." β
"Lord May......" Shanhui bit her lip, what she meant clearly was that no matter what the outcome was, she had no intention of coming back.
"Please wait. Nagi Qing suddenly looked at the door of the warehouse.
"Enemy?" Shan Hui drew his dagger and held May out behind him.
"No, it's Nagi Red...... I sensed her. β
"Tsk. He breathed a sigh of relief and put the knife into its sheath, "The twins' sensing ability is really easy to use." β
Half an hour later, the door to the storeroom was pushed open, and a small figure crept in.
The visitor was almost half a man tall, dressed in a dirty linen robe, and looked like a girl. It was only after taking off the head wrap that she could see the difference between her and ordinary peopleβthe little girl had two red horns on her forehead, but the length was much shorter than that of Nagi Qing.
"Hey, why did you just come back!" Shan Hui said with his hands on his waist, "It won't take a few days to inquire about the news, right?"
"Go away, stupid dog, I have a point in spending so long. Nagi Hong didn't bother to pay attention to the other party at all, and walked straight to the princess, "Lord May, my sister has already told me about your decision just now, but I think you have a better choice." β
"Don't you have any news?" asked Mayhara expectantly.
"Yes! Recently, there has been a rumor in the city, there is a big man in the Privy Council, this person was promoted because he saved Princess Qiguo, and after being injured, he was sent to the mountain villa to recuperate, and the relationship between the two can be seen to be not ordinary. β
"Sister, do you want us to contact him?"
"It is much easier to see him than it is to see the princess. Nagi nodded, "Fang Shi usually don't have guards, and most of them are loners on weekdays. When he comes out of the villa, we can wait for the opportunity to do it. β
"I don't think it's a good choice to find an official in the Privy Council. Shan Hui objected, "Don't forget their attitude towards monsters, what is the difference between them and those people in Dongshengguo?
"If that were the case, I wouldn't have made this suggestion. Nagi glanced at the other party, "The reason why I spent three days was because I went to a nearby county town. β
Then she recounted the rumors she had heard.
"Some people said that the movement in the prefect's mansion that night was very loud, and there was a roar and a roar, and the cultivators didn't have to go to great lengths to deal with ordinary people. Considering that people from enemy countries had already infiltrated, I went to the scene to look for it. β
As she spoke, Nagi presented a broken dagger to the princess.
May Haruka picked it up and looked at it for a while, "This is the weapon of the Makushinobi! In other words, he fought with the people over there?"
"Yes, it at least proves that this person and they are not all the same. β
"But it doesn't prove that he wants to be with us. Nagi Qing said seriously.
"Indeed," Nagi did not deny, "so to be on the safe side, we should let him come to us." β
Although the risk of leaving the tail and exposing his whereabouts is great, it is still much smaller than coming to the door in person, and the three of them understand this truth.
"So...... Do you have to wait any longer? May Haruka whispered.
She swept the faces of the people in turn.
The demon's appetite is also vigorous, and in order to provide her with limited food, both Nagi Qing and Shan Hui have a visible haggard complexion. Nagi was in the best condition, but the horns on the little girl's forehead were a little dull compared to what she had been before she went to sea.
As for what she was wearing, except for herself, everyone else's coats were discarded when they fell into the water, and then they were bumpy, and the rest of the clothes had already become tattered. In addition, the sea is very humid, and the hiding place is cold and damp, so everyone has to lean together at night to resist the cold.
She feared that if the situation worsened, people might never have a chance to act again.
"Mikoto-sama, if the previous wait was forced to be helpless, the current waiting is to add chips to success. Nagihong knelt down and said, "Before he walks out of the villa, we also need time to prepare, please hold on for a few more days." β
Holding back the discomfort and dizziness caused by the fever, Mayhara slowly pulled out a yellowed piece of vellum from the inner lining, and carefully spread it out in front of himβalthough it looked old, it was still well preserved, and the handwriting on it was clearly legible.
That is the proof that the two sides signed a covenant a hundred years ago.
"I see. She nodded slightly, "Then do as you say." β
