Outside the coast of Japan in May 568 of the Altino calendar

Sending away Yuxue and the Idlers, Lancelot faced the enemy alone. If you look at the level of the land realm, the other party can indeed be regarded as a master, but the difference with his own strength is too big, if he is not concerned about the other party's warlock status, he can even save his vigilance.

Although surrounded by four enemies, but before a few moves, Lancelot almost yawned attitude, easily dealt with the enemy, because of the curiosity about the strange dress of these people, so after a little muttering, Lancelot's left arm flickered, and four sword qi that concealed the power of heaven broke through the air, as fast as a spark, in the blink of an eye, the four enemies were forced back, and the hats they wore were cut off.

"What the hell, if it's a twenty-eight-year-old beauty, then there's something to say, it's a waste of time to ask me to fight this kind of thing. ”

Because the group of pirates I saw before were all women, and the rumors of Japanese customs I had heard in the past, Lancelot did look forward to it at the moment of the shot, hoping to see four beautiful women after the hat was cut.

But it turned out to be the opposite, and at the moment when the hat shattered, Lancelot already knew that something was wrong when he saw that it was gray and white hair scattered out, not black hair. In the dazzling sunlight, even if he didn't want to look at it, he could still clearly see that the four old faces that were full of wrinkles like thousand-year-old trees, despite the bright eyes, Lancelot's face immediately collapsed.

Although he is an old man, if he fights with masters like Amakusa Shiro and Lu You, he will also feel the excitement of battle, but ...... Fighting against a bunch of old women? Forget it, this kind of fight not only feels boring now, but even in retrospect, you may feel weak in your hands and feet.

It's just that although Lancelot wants to stop fighting, the other party seems to be enraged and regroups the encirclement. In the sword power just now, the faint aura of Heavenly Demon Skill made them extremely shocked, and they couldn't just give up.

Lancelot, who had no intention of fighting and only wanted to leave, mocked nonchalantly, but the other party was not to be outdone.

"Boy, it's not a big deal to have the power of the heavens, don't think that no one in the world can cure you, if you are brave enough, you are ready to see this trick that even Lu You is confident to defeat!"

was about to retreat, but Lancelot was intrigued by such words and changed his mind. Since the other party is a sorcerer, what powerful tricks will there be? Could it be the magician's last trick against the Heavenly Rank Martial Artist, the Five Extremes Heavenly Style? Although he didn't think that they had this ability, his wife had mentioned to him that as long as they had enough tacit understanding with each other and cultivated profoundly, it was possible for the Five Extremes Heavenly Styles to work together to reduce the load.

If it is really a trick that even Lu You is confident to defeat, since he has the opportunity to witness it, how can he easily miss it?

Inheriting the rational thinking from the confession, he began to use various assessments to warn him to preemptively kill these four old women before the enemy move appeared, so as to avoid possible dangers. But just before the enemy's move, Lancelot's blood boiling in his body from the battle prevailed, causing him to abandon his so-called sanity and almost meet it with anticipation.

However, it was almost just the moment of direct contact between the two sides, and Lancelot regretted it. The feeling from the Tianxin consciousness is neither perceptible to murderous aura, nor the sense of oppression that is approaching, and the sixth sense that he is proud of is not even reacting. This trick, which is claimed to be a trick that even Lu You can defeat, seems to be nothing more than a trick boasted by this group of old women.

"Boring stuff, I'll blow you up with one punch! Old ladies, get all of them home and retire!"

Not having a killer can be said to be Lancelot's greatest etiquette at the moment, but he really has no reason to have a good impression of this group of enemies who took the initiative to kill, and with a wave of his arm, he sent all four old women flying.

"Don't be nostalgic for the world, let's all ascend to heaven!"

Speaking words that had no respect for the elders, under the sweep of Lancelot's fist, the enemy was powerless, like a thin leaf in the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it was blown into the distance and disappeared. Although the strength is strong, Lancelot still uses soft strength to ensure that the four old women can fall safely, as for the problem after falling into the water, it is not in his consideration, since there is a way to come silently, then find a way to go back.

"Go, pretend to be a ghost, what's the big deal?"

At the end of a boring round of fighting, Lancelot muttered to himself, just about to catch up with Shangxue and the group, but suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Own laughter, sounding ...... Something seems wrong?

Puzzled, he looked down at the water beneath his feet, looking at the reflection in the water, wondering if something was wrong.

Just a slight glance at what caught his eye made him stare wildly and be shocked. First looking, then touching with his hands, and when he was sure that it was not a hallucination, a roar of rage shook the sea around him like thunder.

"So, that's what happened, boss...... Lost to those old women. ”

"Nonsense, where can I lose? Those old women are not vulnerable at all, and I can get rid of them with three punches and two kicks. ”

"But you're still beaten by their trick that even Lu You can beat...... Beaten into a pig's head. ”

"Hell, who knows if they are going to defeat Lu You in this way, if I know that these old women are so insidious, I won't waste any time fighting them at all, just slaughter them. ”

"It's okay, boss, you're also a generation of overlords, and now you're beaten like this, it's really not nice to yell. ”

In the cabin, after listening to Lancelot recount the brief fight, Yuxue could only shake his head and sigh.

Lancelot, who was sitting opposite him, also shook his head, but the way he shook his head made Youxue want to sigh even more.

"I've often heard people say that they were beaten into pigs' heads after a fight, but I've never seen such an exaggeration, boss, this time...... What a masterpiece. ”

It's not for nothing that Yuxue said this, in front of his eyes, Lancelot's strong body was completely unscarred, at least ...... There is no abnormality from the neck down. The problem is from the neck up, where the head should be, but now the familiar face is not visible. In its place, there is a large pig's head with a protruding nose and ears.

It is also fortunate that he can make a human voice and speak normally. But on the body of a human being, there is a huge pig's head, and the embarrassment and humiliation can be imagined, let alone a personality with strong self-esteem like Lancelot.

When he repels the enemy, but sees his own pig's head and pig face in the reflection of the sea, Rao is Lancelot is used to seeing strong winds and waves, but he can't help but be in chaos. He had never encountered such a ridiculous thing, and the excessive shock made him completely stunned for a while, and when the ensuing rage erupted, the culprit could no longer be found, and the four old women, along with their children, had retreated without a trace.

I don't know what kind of spell I fell into, but I know that it must be extraordinary, otherwise it is impossible to still have an effect on myself under the condition of the heavenly power to protect the body. I just can't catch a few enemies and ask, how to get rid of this evil spell of turning into a pig?

I have tried to operate the power of the Heavenly Position, and the huge power of the Strong Heavenly Rank is indeed powerful, but it cannot help this situation at all. The knowledge he inherited from Bai Qi did not include the magic of magic, and he had not been involved in it in the past, and now he knew that in order to change this pig's head back to its original form, he needed to start magically, but he had no idea what to do.

The situation is bad, but Lancelot, who has recovered calmly, is not too worried, after all, he is the king of the magic kingdom, and there are countless capable people in the magic guild, and he will definitely find a way to recover for himself, even if the magic guild can't do it, as long as Xiaocao goes out in person, there is no curse or magic in the world that can stump her.

Lancelot, who had made up his mind, rushed to meet Youxue, but he, who had always been bold and fearless, couldn't help but be timid at this time, and just followed Youxue and his party from a distance until late at night, when he entered the house and closed the door at lightning speed, and talked to Youxue.

As a result, from the way Yuxue laughed wildly, Lancelot knew that his caution was not unnecessary, if he let others know that he had evil magic in his body and was made into this strange appearance, how would he behave in the future?

"It would be nice if Sister-in-law Xiaocao was here, otherwise the third child of our family would be fine, and you, the boss, would ...... I remember you didn't know how to do magic, and now you can't find an enemy, it's really helpless. ”

"Don't treat me like you, if I don't have a little countermeasure, will I be idle enough to continue talking nonsense with you here? I have already thought about it, the children of the Bai family should have some contact equipment for the Ancient Demon Dao, I will use this to get in touch with Jixia to see how to unravel the curse, if the situation is too serious, then I have to give up the trip to Japan first, go back and heal it again. ”

His tone sounded calm, as if he had regained his composure, but Lancelot's appearance at the moment was really unconvincing. While gesturing, he shook the pig's head on his neck, his thick nose spewed hot air, and his big ears also shook around, as if it was a pig's head sacrifice that was originally placed on the god's table.

"Bastard, is it that funny?"

"Hah...... Hahahaha~~ I'm sorry, forgive me, boss, your head...... Wow ha, it's really laughing to death. ”

"I'm so annoyed! keep saying the things I don't like to hear the most, mess with things, and make fun of my head, and I'll slaughter you at once to make roast meat!"

Under Lancelot's pressure, Youxue barely controlled it, and turned from a hilarious laugh to a snicker, but it was still the weird expression that glanced at it and laughed in her heart.

Even though it was dark in the room, how could this sneaky expression hide from Lancelot's eyes, and he grabbed it and beat him up right away.

For their own different reasons, the two sides were distressed, and the children of the Bai family outside suddenly knocked on the door.

"Lord Yuxue, are you awake? We have just received an urgent military message from our headquarters, and we would like to report to you that there is an envoy from the Continent of Flames approaching Japan. ”

Unbeknownst to him, Lancelot and his party had come to Japan, and Kaede, who was in Kyoto City, was still living a life that was idle, but still uneasy to hide.

This island nation is not her own country, and Kaede feels it strongly whenever she walks alone in the palace and watches the cherry blossoms fall, or when she roams outside the court with Sojiro and hears people greet her.

However, perhaps because I live in a dark world, I don't have any relationship between home and country, although I feel very strong in a foreign country, but I don't have any nostalgia. The heartfelt welcome from the people of Kyoto was not warm, but I could feel their sincerity, and Kaede felt that it would be good to stay in Japan like this.

But why was she so popular? When she came to Kyoto with Sojiro, received the rain of flower petals sprinkled by the people, and listened to their songs of blessings, Kaede did feel strange, because from the lack of order of the group, it was not a forced welcome event, but a spontaneous action of the people.

He had never been to Japan before, and he had nothing to do with this island nation, so was it because of Sojiro's sincere popularity? Because the people were eager to support the little prince, they also welcomed the foreign princess who was about to marry him?

Feng'er thought about it repeatedly, and could only speculate like this. On the other hand, she was also struggling with another problem she was experiencing.

The children trained in the Great Snow Mountain are the best killers on the Wind Continent. The woman trained by Shangri-La Tianxiangyuan is a first-class spy talent in the Wind Continent, and she has obtained the true inheritance of both aspects at the same time, which is simply flawless.

However, this is limited to the Continent of Winds.

After the Great War of Kyushu, the Sacred Language of Reyns was adopted in the northwest of the continent, and this situation remained unchanged after the founding of the Eltino State. Although there are hundreds of dialects in Wulian and Free City, basically the sacred language is still the common language of the local area. In other words, as long as you learn the holy language well, you can walk in any corner of the Wind Continent without hindrance.

When Tianxiangyuan was training female disciples, she had taught some minority languages, but Feng'er had too many skills to learn at that time, and she didn't put much effort into it, plus most of these foreign languages were the dialects of the martial arts beast clan, Feng'er never imagined that she would go overseas to perform tasks in foreign countries in the future.

Although they have excellent light skills and concealment techniques, even if they are close at hand, they are difficult for the enemy to detect, but if they do not understand the speech of the reconnaissance target at all, these techniques are meaningless. For this reason, Feng'er has been hiding in the carriage and practicing Japanese hard since she set off.

After all, my qualifications are not too bad, and I have made progress quickly after practicing hard, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to carry out investigation work even if I still have a stiff Japanese conversation. After all, you can't ask your scout targets to be like Sojiro, and use holy language every time you speak to yourself.

(Headache, I knew I should learn Japanese first before I came to the task...... ）

Secretly complaining in her heart, Kaede finds opportunities to practice Japanese diligently every day, but fortunately, Sojiro is a good practice partner.

His patience was surprisingly good, and he was not the slightest impatient with his repeated questions and exercises, which Lancelot could not do......

It's so strange, obviously I've left the old environment, but as long as I'm free, I still can't help but think of that man, right...... Is this also his personal guard, an occupational disease that he can't quit?

In the past two days, Sojiro, who had been pestering him, ran away without a trace, and I heard others say that there are always three or five days a month when His Royal Highness Sojiro will leave Kyoto City and practice martial arts with his master. Sojiro's master is the sword lord Amakusa Shiro, and according to what he has heard, Amakusa Shiro's serious injuries will take at least one or two months to recuperate, in other words, it is unlikely that he will have a way to teach Sojiro martial arts, but maybe Sojiro will visit him.

As for where Amakusa Shiro is, this question can not be thought about. The heavenly master flies with all his might, and he can fly far in one day.

It's just that Sojiro, who has been pestering him, is gone, and in addition to practicing Japanese in the past three or five days, shouldn't he also start acting? Without the guardian of the Heavenly Rank, Kyoto is equivalent to being defenseless for himself.

When Kaede began to think like this, a messenger came to her and sent a message that Hideyoshi wanted to summon her.

"The general wants to see me?"

Kaede felt a little surprised, although he was seriously ill and no longer took care of political affairs himself, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was still the highest power in Japan. After he came to Kyoto, although he asked to meet him, because of the etiquette and the physical condition of Hideyoshi, this request was not fulfilled, but he did not expect that after Sojiro left, the Hideyoshi Guild took the initiative to summon him.

I have never seen it with my own eyes, but Feng'er has read the information of this Warring States overlord from various archives, and knows that he was originally a military general under the command of the former general Oda Nobunaga, and after the death of the lord, he crusaded against traitors to avenge the Lord, and then swept away the rest of the princes and became the new general who ruled Japan. Under his rule, Japan became a rich and powerful island nation.

However, in the final battle against his archenemy, Shibata Katsuie, he was seriously wounded by a near-death blow from the opponent, and he continued to suffer from injuries until a few years ago, when his injuries deteriorated so dramatically that he had to retreat into the background and leave political affairs to his subordinates.

Since he was going to be hostile to Japan, Kaede hoped to find out more about the enemy's information, especially from Sojiro's words and the attitude of the people of Kyoto, it can be seen that Toyotomi Hideyoshi still has a significant influence on Japan, and it would be great to have this opportunity to meet him.

Under the leadership of the envoy, Kaede entered Kyoto City. Kyoto is the capital of Japan at the moment, and the stone castle is built in the center of the city, and the people live outside the city.

After having been to Zhongdu and staying in Jixia for a long time, and seeing the magnificent buildings on the walls of the two places, the architecture of Kyoto City would not surprise her in Feng'er's eyes. However, for this kind of exotic castle tower, she still stares at it repeatedly from the perspective of appreciating artworks.

In order to quickly reconnoiter the terrain during the mission, Feng'er has a certain understanding of buildings and mechanisms, but because after being promoted to the heavenly position, the terrain factors have little impact on him, so his eyes have slowly changed from reconnaissance to appreciating architectural art.

The eaves of the bucket, similar to the architectural style of the White Deer Cave, the emerald blue bricks, the stone walls deliberately stained with moss, and the colors reflected in the golden sun, make people feel a kind of ...... Serenity.

This feeling was particularly strong after walking through the garden to the Japanese-style room where the conversation was scheduled.

Straw mats seem to be one of the characteristics of Japan, and the straw mats, which are regularly exposed to the sun, are wiped clean and have a faint smell of grass, which is mixed with the incense burned on the wooden table, creating a soothing aroma.

There is a calligraphy and painting on the wall, but there is no other ornament, except for a set of crimson armor on the left side, and a pair of Japanese swords in front of the armor, symbolizing the warrior status of the owner.

Tea was already brewed on the table. The Japanese are a nation that loves to make tea, and the elders often teach or test many things to the younger ones through the tea ceremony, but the tea that has been brewed on the table at the moment makes Feng'er understand the urgency of the other party not wanting to spend more time on other things.

There were no extra idlers waiting, and the people waiting for her were already sitting opposite. Wide and long-sleeved, bunked hair, light blue robe, printed with the family crest of the Toyotomi family, Japan's supreme power, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, is a gossip and easy attitude, in the reception of this foreign princess who came for peace.

"You may be seated, Princess Reyns. ”

The amiable tone makes people feel no sense of oppression, but it does not mean that the person who speaks is ordinary, although he is wearing civilian clothes, Feng'er still feels a kind of military momentum from the other party, and you can imagine the scene on his battlefield that day.

From the other party's eyes, Feng'er also saw calmness and wisdom, this old man who relied on his own talents to calm down Japan was by no means a reckless man. It's a pity that on this old man's body, Feng'er smelled an obvious dead air.

Many killers have such a sixth sense. Wandering in the danger of life and death for many years, for such a thing as death, I feel particularly sensitive, whether it is for myself or others, killers can feel that someone is close to life. Such a situation appeared in Toyotomi Hideyoshi at this moment.

Even less than two hundred years old, it stands to reason that Hideyoshi, who was in his heyday physically and mentally, was rapidly aging his body due to the influence of old diseases, and now he is completely an old man. was forced to retire from the peak of hegemony, presumably he was also regretful in his heart.

"First of all, I want to thank you. Princess Atsuki, because of your relationship, Sojiro's child has been having a good time lately, and I apologize to you for the trouble. ”

The commotion when Sojiro and Kaede first met has spread all over Japan, although the people sincerely welcome this exotic princess, but the court officials are frowning at the strange behavior of His Royal Highness the Prince holding his fiancée and calling his mother, and after coordination, the stubborn Sojiro will not change his words even if he dies.

Feng'er herself doesn't think there's anything bad. Unlike the weirdness that Nile feels, she only thinks that Sojiro is a child with a lot of mood swings, easy to like and grieve, and sometimes there is a complementary effect with her self, who is not good at expressing her inner emotions.

"No, please don't say that, I didn't do anything myself, everything was taken care of by His Highness Sojiro. ”

On the other hand, Feng'er observed the old man in front of him attentively, wanting to see what he was looking for himself?

Reyns ...... It's a good country. Hideyoshi exclaimed, "I used to visit the mainland itself, where there are many good countries. Among them, the rich culture of Bailu Cave and Jixia makes me, a foreigner, feel very envious......"

What came out of the old man's mouth afterwards was another side of him that no one knew. Before becoming a military commander and crisscrossing Japan, he also traveled to the Continent of the Wind as a traveler to see the world that was far wider than overseas islands. At first, his purpose was only to practice martial arts, but gradually, he discovered something more important than martial arts.

Hideyoshi spent a lot of time in the Beilin Pavilion of the White Deer Cave, the library under the Jishi, and the theater in Shangri-La, and was greatly shocked from the inside.

"At that time, I was thinking, these things are really amazing, and if possible, I hope that my compatriots in Japan will be able to see these things as well. When I returned to Japan, I wrote my proposal to Nobunaga, and when I became the ruler myself, it became my ideal......"

Hideyoshi's eyes flashed with nostalgia for the past, and he smiled, "I came from a civilian background, and I was only a peasant before I was recognized by Nobunaga, so I hope that my compatriots can enjoy this happiness universally, so that Japan can develop and pass on its own diverse culture." ”

Kaede was a little puzzled, because according to the information he had read, Toyotomi Hideyoshi should be a wise and courageous Sengoku hero, but now he was so cordial to talk about the old ideals with his first self, was it because of years of serious illness that had sharpened his domineering?

No matter what the reason was, while the old man was talking slowly, Feng'er did feel his sincerity, and unconsciously began to care about the old man who started coughing because he was talking too quickly.

"Don't care, don't care...... While I'm in good spirits today, I have something I want to say to you. Sensing Feng'er's worried gaze, the old man smiled slightly and waved his hand to stop her from speaking.

"As you know, Sojiro is about to inherit everything from me...... I am very comforted to have such an heir, however, he is not my biological son. ”

"Huh?"

"Sojiro...... It was the widow of Nobunaga. I love my lord, but because Nobunaga has made too many enemies in Japan, I raised Sojiro as my child for safety, and in my heart, he is my most cherished and valued heir. ”

Sincere fatherly love, Kaede can feel it, but she also notices that Hideyoshi is hiding something that she doesn't say. On the other hand, why did he say these things to himself?

"Sojiro was a good kid, but in some places, he ...... It's not the same as the average person. Like his background, you will know these things later, and I don't want you to have a disagreement about it, so I'll tell you first. ”

Hideyoshi said: "Princess Atsuki from Reins, I can see that you are a good girl, and it is a blessing for Sojiro and the whole of Japan to be accompanied by a woman like you, I sincerely hope that ...... You can make this your home and work with Sojiro to create a better tomorrow for Japan. ”

"I ......" Feng'er really didn't know how to answer, it was not difficult to deal with the past with words, but she felt uncomfortable, and how ironic was the word "home" being mentioned on this occasion?

"From a cultural and historical point of view, Reyns is a kingdom for us. It is an honor for Japan to be able to marry the princess of God, and in the long run, Reins and Japan can form a brotherly state, and the people of the two countries can peacefully exchange and trade, and eliminate differences, so that I will be worthy of my duty as a great general, I ...... Bless you all. ”

It seemed that because he was in a hurry, after saying these words, the old man coughed hard, his face turned pale, Feng'er hurriedly stepped forward to help him with his luck, and finally, because his condition deteriorated again, he had to stop the conversation.

Rao is like this, but this conversation made Feng'er have a deep impression, and an indescribable uneasiness and sorrow slowly took root in her chest.

After ending the conversation with Hideyoshi, Kaede didn't leave immediately. Since the old man was rushed back to the recuperation room, no one instructed her whether she should stay in the city to wait for the summons, or whether she should return to the annex outside the city.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Feng'er toured the city. Originally, she was going to memorize more of the buildings in Kyoto Castle, but for some reason, after that conversation, she didn't want to do any work to spy on the enemy. A casual stroll turns out to be a meaningless act of enjoying the scenery.

Walking and relaxing, this is a way for many people to relieve their depressed mood, but Feng'er walked for a while, and her dull mood did not fade because of this, and her chest became heavier and heavier. The reason for the boredom is known to Feng'er herself, but when she thinks of the reason, she doesn't want to face it and forget about it.

Suddenly, an unusual fluctuation caught Feng'er's attention. The fluctuation was faint, and it would never have been felt outside the city unless it had been close, and it didn't feel like some important secret to pay attention to, but based on the woman's intuition, she felt that she should go and see it.

What she is wearing at the moment is a long skirt dress brought from Reins, which is not very convenient to move. Feng'er held the end of the long skirt in her hand, unfolded her body, and disappeared in a blink of an eye, rushing towards the place where the feeling emanated like lightning.

Through layers of portals and guards, the fast and superb body skills allow no one in the city to discover Feng'er's existence, and come to the destination without hindrance.

"This is ......"

Located in the middle of the city, it is a secluded garden where green grass and moss grow luxuriantly. It seems that because of the shading of the surrounding buildings, there is only a faint sunlight shining in here, and it feels almost gloomy. But one thing is very strange, even though there is not enough sun, the meadow is full of all kinds of flowers, especially the bright yellow calendula, which is fragrant in the breeze.

To the northwest of this garden is a small attic with only two floors. It's not exquisite, it's surprisingly simple compared to the gorgeous buildings around it.

The fluctuation came from the small attic, and as the distance narrowed, it began to exude a guarded and dangerous aura, making Feng'er sure that she was not wrong this time.

(Who lives there, or is there something hidden?, let me check it out!)

Quickly flew over, seeing the small attic getting closer and closer, when Feng'er stepped a little bit, to step into the attic within ten feet, but his body suddenly hurt.

(Enchantment?!)

It must have been made by a master of magic, and he didn't even notice it in advance, and the power of the enchantment was far beyond the estimate, but fortunately, he was sensitive to it, and at the same time he noticed that something was wrong, he retreated quickly, otherwise he would definitely have to pay a lot of price when he didn't have time to condense the power of the heavens.

(The enchantment's counterattack...... Is it fire?or thunder?)

The contact was too hasty to judge, but judging from the fact that a dress had become tattered, it should have been a similar attack.

And this also alarmed the people in the attic, only to hear the sound of "ah", the wooden door covered with rice paper was pushed open, and a petite figure slowly walked out from inside.

"Who?"

The owner of the small attic was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, I don't know if it was Toyotomi Hideyoshi's wife or concubine, she was barefoot, her long black hair naturally draped over her shoulders, and she was wearing a set of extremely expensive phoenix-patterned kimonos.

For this Japanese national costume, Kaede felt incredible after trying it on. It was a very cumbersome garment to wear, from the inner shirt to the outer robe, layer after layer of complicated clothing, not to mention the belt and the rest of the ornaments. Each layer of clothing is also scented with fragrance, and once put on, it gives people an incomparably gorgeous feeling, both visually and visually.

This is the style that this girl wears, from the inside to the outside, the total number is about twelve intricate outfits, crimson satin as the base, with gold, green, blue, purple four colors embroidered phoenix pattern, and the accompanying peony pattern, it is simply gorgeous to the extent of dazzling.

The luxurious style of the kimono, coupled with the rich fragrance that can be smelled from a few feet away, is too bright even if it is worn by Feng'er, if it is a normal situation, this kind of dress will give people a sense of vulgarity and inferiority, but this situation does not appear in the girl.

The childish face still looks like a girl and more than a girl, but it is already a beauty that makes people want to look away at it. Although she was wearing a heavy and intricate kimono, her slenderness could still be seen, and whenever the lotus step was lightly moved, a string of white jade butterflies hanging from her belt would collide with each other, and it was nice to hear about it.

Similar to Sojiro, the girl has a temperament that makes people want to love it at first sight, but this unearthly beauty is destroyed after making contact with her gaze.

≥ Buddha is an extremely cold giant ice, there is no trace of anything that can be called emotion in the girl's eyes, and she looks over coldly, as if she has seen something, and it seems that she has seen nothing, and she has moved sideways without stopping, and everything that her eyes touch is rejected thousands of miles away, so that the intimacy that was originally filled in her heart is all frozen. It is also this unique cold temperament that makes people only fascinated by her brightness even if she wears such gorgeous clothes.

Still, it didn't feel good to face her. But Feng'er didn't have a choice, because when she was stunned, the girl was already pacing barefoot in front of her.

"I ...... I'm ......."

Kaede wanted to say a few words, but for some reason, in front of this girl, she felt nervous, and she couldn't even introduce herself in basic Japanese.

The girl's eyes were as clear as ice and snow, and she began to look at Feng'er. Under this gaze, Feng'er was very uncomfortable, as if she was standing naked in front of others. In fact, because of the damage of touching the enchantment just now, the dress on his body was indeed burned into a hole after hole, and many places of skin were exposed, which was very indecent.

"Poof", the sound of the cloth falling to the ground, without waiting for Feng'er to say more, the girl untied her belt, took off a few outer robes, and draped them on Feng'er. Without the heavy robe to cover it, the girl's body seemed so delicate and slender, as beautiful as a daisy.

"Princess Sagetsu Kaede from Reyns, I'm Oda Kao, first time meeting, hello. ”

The words are correct and round, the voice is so flat that there is no trace of emotional fluctuations, and there is no change in expression on the face, as if it is those mechanical voices of the Taiyan Academy, but judging from the meaning of the words, it should be a friendly expression to himself. Feng'er returned a forty-five-degree bow to the other party, and when she raised her head again, the other party had already turned and walked towards the house.

Not sure what this means, Feng'er could only freeze in place, watching the girl's back disappear at a loss.

"When are we going to hit the road?"

"Don't ask me about this kind of thing, go ask Your Majesty, my boss didn't say that I could go on the road, even if I nodded, it was useless. ”

"Then when does Your Majesty plan to leave?"

"Well, I'm probably waiting for his pig's head...... Well, no, it was until he had a shrewd estimate and a clear plan for our future before he hit the road without fail. ”

"I see, Your Majesty is really far-sighted, and he deserves to be the emperor of emperors. ”

Ending the conversation with the team leader Bai Lanxiong, listening to such a respectful answer, Youxue really wanted to laugh, but he also knew that as long as someone couldn't help laughing out loud at this time, the person hiding in the house would definitely rush out and beat himself into a pig's head, and come with him to sympathize with him.

Because of the misfortune that happened to them just after arriving in Japan, the trip of the group was forced to run aground. Even if he can be promoted to one of the five top masters in the human world, if he has to be a pig's head in the future, his life will be boring. For this, Lancelot was very distressed. He is not a person who will retreat when encountering difficulties, and fighting against a strong enemy will even give him a high sense of anticipation, but the predicament he is facing at the moment does give him a sense of strength and nowhere to go.

With the communication equipment rescued from the broken ship by the children of the Bai family, after some repairs, he has been in contact with Jixia, because Lancelot does not want to appear on the communication screen, all the conversations are carried out by Youxue, but he gets discouraging news.

"What? Miss Grass doesn't know where to go? What is going on?"

There was shocking news in the palace, almost on the day that Lancelot left Jixia, the chief staff Cang Yuecao handed out a leave of absence, applying for a long leave that would be terminated at some point, and then he didn't know where to go, and all government affairs were transferred to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, which was jointly handled by Bai Wuji, the Right Prime Minister, and Bai Dezhao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

The news came as a bolt from the blue for Lancelot. If her pig's head is harmed by magic, then Xiaocao's ability to eliminate all magical effects is undoubtedly the most suitable solution, and now she doesn't know where to go, so isn't she ......

And what worries him even more is that his wife is sensible, not this kind of person who will leave without saying goodbye, and she leaves without saying a word at the moment, her mood can be imagined. In the final analysis, he is still a guy who will make trouble for the people around him, and Xiaocao's approach must be angry with himself.

Anxious to know where his wife was, Lancelot wanted to rush back to Jixia almost immediately, but he knew in his heart that this kind of practice must not be what Xiaocao liked. After several efforts, he finally contacted Bai Wuji, and from his mouth, he found out that Xiaocao had not left Jixia.

"Didn't leave Jishita, so where did she go?"

Anxious in his heart, Lancelot didn't care about the image problem, and appeared directly on the communication screen to talk to Bai Wuji.

Naturally, before Bai Wuji laughed to the point of turning over, Lancelot took great pains to explain to his second brother-in-law who the pig-headed pig-brained man on the screen was.

"I don't know, but I heard that it was a retreat. ”

"Retreat? Retreat at this juncture? She doesn't practice martial arts, what is she doing in retreat?"

"Yo, it's hard to say this kind of thing, my mother doesn't know martial arts, and she didn't go into retreat all day long. ”

These words woke up Lancelot, Xiaocao's retreat may have taken advantage of the opportunity of no one to disturb her, to participate in her magic, but ...... Why?

"Who knows? Maybe it's because you have realized the meaning of life and want to make adjustments to your life, oops......

I'm wrong, I'm really embarrassed, a woman who has died, what life is there? Haha, she should be beaten. “

There has never been a moment like this when Lancelot discovers that his second brother-in-law is also a man with a rather vicious tongue. Taking advantage of his identity and spicy words, a few words forced Lancelot to find a hole to hide in.

"Don't be so embarrassed, brother-in-law, look at your useless appearance, I really look down on you as a man. Didn't you get my eldest brother's teachings and get better in your mind? Such a trivial matter stumped you, so that my eldest brother knew that he would definitely die. ”

"My brother-in-law didn't have to worry about emotional problems at the beginning, and the wisdom he taught me didn't include the wisdom of how to deal with this situation. If he and I were to change places, he would be overwhelmed as well. ”

"Ha, what about yourself? What about my eldest brother didn't teach, don't you know how to solve it? Monkey, aren't you so useless? It's just a mother-in-law who has a temper tantrum, and it bothers you, so useless, how can you be a hegemon and a hero? You don't even deserve to be a man. ”

I thought I would be scolded, but I really didn't expect Bai Wuji to talk like this. His wife was insulted, and even though the person who spoke was her brother, Lancelot was still displeased with this attitude, and was about to ridicule him, but suddenly realized that the second brother-in-law seemed to be cheering himself up with his unique way of speaking.

This is very reasonable, because according to his own understanding, the second brother-in-law usually speaks very gentlemanly, often with that personable conversation, so that the ladies and ladies can't help but be intoxicated with him, but whenever he says something contrary to his heart, or makes some hints that have something other meaning, the words he says are particularly vulgar and ugly, in other words, the current way of speaking is that he tries to help his husband and wife solve problems as an outsider.

"I'm also very helpless, my brother-in-law's way of suppressing his emotions, being ruthless to everything in the outside world, and maintaining his heart like a mirror, I can't learn it. ”

"Oh, yes, but if you want to be a king, it's a must. Hey, you don't regret it, do you?"

"That's not, I just don't want to hurt the people around me, according to that approach, even if I become a king and a tyrant, I won't feel happy. ”

"Neurotic, you don't want to hurt the people around you? So are you willing to suppress yourself for this and not do other things that you want to do more? Since you can't, what are you going to do with those stupid things that you can't even fool yourself?"

Such a harsh accusation made Lancelot have to be silent. He really sincerely hopes not to hurt the people around him, but as Tong Bai Wuji said, what is the point of talking about things that he can't do? All the developments of events are developing in the opposite direction to his own hopes.

"It's your choice to be a monkey or a human, but now that you've decided, don't hesitate to do it to the end even if it's wrong. Wondering whether you should do it or not, and wanting to go back and review it one more time, will only cause secondary damage. Even you don't believe what you're doing, which will only cause more trouble to the people around you. ”

Bai Wuji snorted: "Before my dead sister asked for leave and left, she had a sentence. She said: If Sister Feng'er hadn't been brought back, that useless man wouldn't have to come back. Do you understand? If you don't bring anyone back, you'll stay in Japan for the rest of your life. ”

Lancelot was shocked. This kind of confession can be said to be the wife's greatest forgiveness and acceptance of herself, in order to make herself have no worries, she did what she had to do, and she couldn't ask too much of her.

"Got it, you wait for my good news, I'll go and get my woman back now, and by the way, I'll get Japan done, and let you, a playboy, see what it means to be a man!"

"Ha, don't be so sure, according to the news from Kyoto, your woman is now having a hot fight with other men, holding hands and shopping together every day, going in and out together, so sweet that it is not enviable......

"W-What?!"

"A big man, don't scream as if he's been raped. Oh, according to the latest report I just got, they even slept in the same bed, tsk, I can't see that Miss Feng'er was so arrogant, and the reason why she became like that before was because she didn't meet a good man?"

If the news of Xiaocao's retreat was like a bolt from the blue, now the bad news is like a thunderbolt that hits the top door, and Lancelot opens his mouth wide, completely unable to believe what he has just heard.

"No way, there must be something wrong with this, Feng'er...... This kind of thing is absolutely impossible. ”

"It's a pity, even couples in the same bed will have the possibility of cheating, not to mention men and women who have no relationship, I don't think Miss Feng'er seems to have any reason to love you alone......? Humph......"

What Bai Wuji said after that didn't matter anymore, because he had already succeeded in arousing Lancelot's wonder and decided to rush to Kyoto.

Seriously speaking, Lancelot didn't believe what his second brother-in-law told him, with Feng'er's personality, if she said that she had a hot fight with other men in a short period of time, he wouldn't believe it, but Bai Wuji wouldn't be able to say anything.

Could Feng'er have fallen for some evil spell and been controlled? Or is this also a "sacrifice" she made for the mission? No matter what it is, she will never allow it. Although I am anxious to lift the curse on my body, I am afraid that it will not be possible to go to Kyoto to investigate the matter.

"You won't be back for a while, just stay over there, and help me check one thing by the way. I heard that there is a foreign envoy group that will arrive in Japan in the next few days, maybe it is the forces on the side of the Flame Continent, if they are allowed to catch up with the line, it will be quite unfavorable to us, so ...... You know what to do, right?"

Lancelot frowned, "Don't act like you're talking to your subordinates. The point now is, what should I do with the curse on my body? Even if I find Feng'er, it would be strange for her to recognize it like this. ”

"Then you have to rely on the pig face to pick up the girl. Your current situation is too complicated, there is no way to solve it here, and if you want to have a result, you can only report your situation to the Wizard Guild for study. Although my dead sister is not here, it should not be difficult to find the answer to the question while the witch surnamed Hua is still in the middle of the day. Rest assured, for your sake of face, I won't tell her your name. ”

Bai Wuji said: "By the way, there is also, considering the needs of my staff, I sent a group of monitoring and listening systems of the Taiyan Academy, maybe you can use them too." It was shipped by air, and it's almost time to arrive. ”

"How did you do it?" Lance Lodge said: "I remember that almost all of the aviation equipment of the five-color flag was transported to the north gate of Tianguan, and this time it was too late to withdraw, and it was damaged a lot, how could you still have a way to transport things to Japan?

Lancelot knows the scruples of using the Ancient Demon Dao Machinery, and air transportation is not as simple as imagined, otherwise the Bai family will directly smuggle by air, and they won't have to encounter so much trouble at sea, and now Bai Wuji is doing it so blatantly, is there any new strategy?

"In short, it's a ...... But don't look down on the rich. ”

The answer appeared almost along with Bai Wuji's words of cutting off communication. Lancelot couldn't believe it when his celestial consciousness sensed it, but when a heavy object fell to the ground, a noise of human voices sounded outside the house, confirming what he had sensed.

"Have the surveillance equipment and supplies arrived? Great! The efficiency of the headquarters is still as fast, but what are they using to airdrop it? This is not Alcatraz airspace, and transport planes can't fly here. ”

"Look at the size of that thing in the sky, it doesn't seem to be a transport plane, it's ...... It's people, it's people who have brought these things here. ”

"Those who can do this kind of thing must be heavenly masters. The figure...... I've seen it in documentaries of the Civil War before...... I know that guy, it's Hant the Demon Chaser!"

"Isn't he known as the number one killer and mercenary on the Windy Continent today, why would he help our Bai family with transportation work?"

"I think, I think...... It's because the head of the family is rich!"

"That's not enough, is it?"

“...... The damage of the economic downturn...... It's just too big......"

The noise and whispers from outside the house made Lancelot feel ridiculous. It seems that in addition to himself, all the heavenly masters are very active in finding their own way out, and they should also take action.

Even if his strength and wisdom have improved, Lancelot is still not omniscient and omnipotent, and because of this, it is impossible for him to know that after cutting off communication, Bai Wuji's originally relaxed smile was replaced by another extremely tired expression.

"Hey, that's okay, right?"

Of course, this is not self-talking, the object of Bai Wuji's speech is the person sitting across from him, in a position that cannot be illuminated by the communication screen.

"It is not uncommon for a husband and wife to have problems and the woman to hide back to her parents' house. However, I'm bothered to ask me to help you deal with this kind of problem. ”

"I know, but there's no way, besides my brother, who else can I ask in this world?"

The half-serious, half-coquettish words made Bai Wuji only sigh and surrender, looking at his sister in front of him, and shaking his head.

handed out the leave form, and Xiaocao, who had planned to retreat and participate in research, was still alarmed by her husband's urgent summons. Based on some feelings that even she thought was awkward, she didn't want to come forward, and entrusted the matter to her brother.

It's just that her husband's ability to cause trouble has not changed at all because of his great heavenly power, and he originally thought that after arriving in Japan, he would turn the world upside down, but who knew that he had just arrived off the coast of Japan, and he would make such an unbelievable thing. It seems that some people are born to be powerful magnets for trouble.

"How is it? The trouble your husband encountered this time happens to be your forte, don't you want to help him solve it?"

"No...... I think that's not bad, just let him know that not everything can make his wishes come true, and besides, that pig's head seems to be handsome, so it seems good to let him get used to it for a while. ”

My sister is undoubtedly smiling sweetly, and she has a kind of delicate beauty, but in Bai Wuji's eyes, there is always a creepy feeling for some reason. Accustomed to being nostalgic for flowers, he naturally knows the terrifying meaning behind this smile.

"Forget it, I don't care about your husband and wife's affairs, so what are you going to do?

"Nope. I finally had this opportunity, and I hope to take this opportunity to retreat and study. Xiaocao smiled: "You don't need to find any secret places, I want to stay on your side for the time being and learn from your master." ”

Since his mother's death, there should be no one who knows about it, right? Although he is only an academic school that never actually uses it, if there is anyone in the human world who can guide him in his magic practice, it must be the second brother in front of him, except for Teacher Mei Lin.

"I really don't want to teach you anything, what you should learn and what you can learn at this stage, you wouldn't have to teach you a long time ago, you will come to me to study, what you want to learn must be those forbidden things, right?"

This is the main reason why Bai Wuji doesn't want to teach his sister. Due to the bias in the selection of materials, almost all of the magic he practiced belonged to the skills of forbidden spells. And the reason why black magic like this kind of powerful and offensive magic is often banned is because it must be used at a great price, and it can even be said that the price outweighs the loss......

However, to dissuade my sister from doing anything, I have completely given up on this kind of thing. If his advice had worked, there would have been no Kigru incident, and things wouldn't have gotten to this point......

"Also, if I can, in addition to magic, I also hope that the second brother will teach me...... That thing. ”

There is no need to confirm it, Bai Wuji already knows what his sister is referring to. He wanted to say something, but in the end he just frowned and said: "It doesn't matter if you want to practice that thing, anyway, it is impossible for an elder to come out to stop you now, but do you really think that you can practice? Even if it is a fighting god like the eldest brother, he gave up at the beginning." ”

"I have confidence in myself, after all, I am also the daughter of the Bai family, and to complete it, I believe that I can do it. ”

Staring at the smile in front of him, Bai Wuji felt bitter again.

Looking back on the past, apart from murder, arson, drug trafficking, smuggling, and the erosion of the relationship between men and women, I didn't do anything that hurt heaven and reason? Why do I have to be forced by this little woman to do what I don't want to do every time? Even if I am a brother, I don't need to be wronged like this, right?

Alas, I can only say that this must be because I did something wrong in my previous life and came to repay my debts in this life, so I am destined to be bullied by this girl all the time.

“...... Hey, maybe that's the case. As if seeing through her brother's thoughts, Xiaocao laughed, but there was more seriousness in her eyes than a joke.

"The second brother owed me a lot of money in his previous life, but I owed my husband a lot of debt, and my husband himself must have owed someone, and it was because of this that everyone was entangled in disturbances. I know that this is not good, but I still have to do things that make the people around me feel helpless. ”

couldn't say whether it was good or bad, Bai Wuji just grabbed his hair in annoyance, and it took a long time for a sentence to come out.

"Well, it looks like I can look forward to my next life......"
