The forest was particularly eerie at night, and Dylan rode down the tree-lined paths, putting his five senses to the fullest, cautiously probing the messages coming from all around him.

Within a radius of half a mile, all the chirping of insects and birds could not escape Dylan's ears. As a blood clan, not only can his eyes see at night, but his hearing is more than ten times that of ordinary people. Dylan was confident that as long as he was there, there was no possibility of being ambushed.

Half an hour later, Dylan suddenly heard the sound of living water flowing not far away, so he beckoned everyone to speed up and walk in the direction from which the sound came. Sure enough, after a few moments, I found a small stream.

Sixty or seventy meters around the creek is a flat meadow, and on the periphery of the meadow grows clumps of artemisia more than half a foot high. The stream is babbling and there are fish looming underwater, making it a great place for camping.

Dylan dismounted from his horse and handed the reins to May, who was standing aside. He glanced around, looked at the creek and said, "There are fish in the creek, let's eat grilled fish tonight." Everyone goes to bed early after eating, and they have to hurry early tomorrow morning. ”

Hail!

The Seven, May, and Ryoji Ogawa replied in unison.

Smoke walked straight to the stream without saying a word.

With the skills of a few people, it was easy to catch the fish, and after everyone had eaten the grilled fish, they swept off the fire and slept on the ground that had been roasted by the fire.

There were no stars or moons tonight, and the residents of Ise Castle went to bed early.

And in a secret cellar of Qi Tian's house, three men in tights were having a secret party.

The three men, each with an oil lamp in their hands, stood in the dark cellar. The light of the oil lamps illuminated their faces like evil spirits, and it was these ugly faces, and if any of the magnates in the city were here, they would surely be able to recognize the owners of these three faces present. They are none other than the head of the Saida family, "Saida Tadatsu", who is at the pinnacle of power in Ise Castle, the first of the Saida family's elders, the "Kamikanzen", and the waiter concierge of the Ashiya family, "Santa".

Qi Tian Zhonggang's face was gloomy as water at the moment, and he was not at all as hearty as he did on weekdays. There was a hateful look in his eyes, and he roared in a low voice, "Inner youkai····· An inner youkai actually took my Ise Castle······ He has fooled my people and made all my courtiers his slaves. Now, I can't stand it anymore if I want to be sneaky like this in my own home····· I want him dead, I want him to die right away!"

"Please calm your wrath, Lord Lord. Sanliang, who was standing on the side, saw that Qi Tian Zhonggang's emotions were a little out of control, and hurriedly persuaded: "That monster has a strong mana, and even an onmyoji like Ashiya Michiman has been subdued by him." If we do it rashly, I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete the demon extermination. When the lord must wait patiently, as long as the day of the arrival of the Kitada clan's army, it will be the death of the youkai. ”

Kami-shizen said with a gloomy face: "That self-proclaimed god is powerful, and most of the powerful people in our city have fallen under the spell of the monster and regard him as a god. We're doing it now, and the odds are too small. Fortunately, he has already left Ise Castle, so we can take this opportunity to contact His Highness Yasuo Kitada. There are many customers in the Kitada family, and they will definitely be able to kill the demons and return Ise to the hands of the lord. ”

"Yes, yes!" Sanliang hurriedly echoed: "Since you were a child, the Lord has put on a cowardly and incompetent appearance in front of everyone, so that everyone will not mention you. I didn't even see Ashiya Michiman and the unknown youkai, but now is the most critical time, so please calm down. ”

"The messenger went to Kitada's house, and then to Kitada's house to send troops to Ise, and it took more than three months to go back and forth, to say the least. During this time, you absolutely... We must not show the slightest flaw, otherwise it will be difficult for us Ise to escape from the grasp of demons. ”

Qi Tian Zhonggang looked at the two people in front of him who were thinking about him, and a hot current surged in his heart, which gradually calmed down the original resentment. He said gratefully, "Santael, this time it's really thanks to you. If it weren't for your advance notice, I'm afraid we would all have fallen for the spell of the monster, and by then, the Qi Tian family would never have turned over. After the monster is ambushed, the family must reward you heavily. ”

Sanliang hurriedly knelt on the ground and said with a sincere expression: "What did you say, Lord Lord! Isn't the matter of the Qi Tian family the matter of Santa! Although Sanliang grew up in the Ashiya family since he was seven years old, he has never forgotten that what flows in his body is the noble blood of the Qi Tian family. Over the years, Sanliang has never made any contribution to the family, and this time he can be loyal to the family, and Sanliang also feels honored. ”

Seeing that Sanliang was so loyal, Qi Tian Zhonggang's eyes suddenly moistened, and he said with a stalk: "Sanliang! The contribution you have made to the family will definitely be remembered by the family." When this is over, you can go home. ”

"So where is Ashiya Michiman?" Sanliang was a little worried in his heart: "If Ashiya Michiman knew that the Qi Tian family had been planting people in the Ashiya family for generations, I am afraid it would be ······." ”

Hum!

As soon as Ashiya Michiman was mentioned, Saida Tadashi's face pulled down again, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Ashiya Michiman! He actually colluded with demons to try to subvert my Sanwa Plain, I must sue His Majesty the Emperor." When the time comes, Ashiya Michiman will definitely be exiled to a desert island. ”

After speaking, he turned to the shirt and ordered: "Kanzen-sama!"

Hai! Shirt and good bow and wait for the order: "Please be commanded by the Lord!"

"We are afraid that we will have to wait for a long time before the arrival of the army of the Beitian family, and you will go to Yamu Village tomorrow in the name of visiting relatives, and our Qitian family has a ·········· there. ”

············

Standing on the hillside, looking at the floating people of the island country who fled with their families below, Dylan couldn't help but sigh. Shaking his head, he said: "No matter in any era, it is always the people who are affected, this is true

There are hungry women on the road, holding their children and abandoning the grass. Gu heard the crying sound and waved his tears and refused to return it.

I don't know where I died, how can I finish the two phases? I drove the horse away, and I couldn't bear to listen to this.

Wars, diseases, and famines, these are indeed the greatest natural enemies of human existence, and the ancients did not deceive me. ”

Seeing Dylan chanting poetry, Ryoji Ogawa behind him lit up his eyes, and hurriedly stepped forward to applaud and said, "Your Highness, you are not only kind-hearted, but also outstanding in writing, and you can write poems casually." Your Highness really deserves to be ·······"

"I didn't write the poem! Dylan's casual words made Ryoji Ogawa choke suddenly, and he immediately retreated back again in frustration.

The seven of them are all members of the Qitian family, and as samurai, they have always looked down on this kind of behavior that only thinks about patting on the back every day, and when they see Ryoji Ogawa eating deflated, they all have a sneering expression.
