Chapter 24: The Tragedy of Father and Son
Emmivi wandered in her sleep, temporarily deprived of her mobility, and could only stay asleep. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
But Fujiwara Meihong would not have expected that Emmiwei had mastered the magic that could be used in her sleep, and she had not directly touched Western magic in her long cultivation, so she neglected the weirdness of Western magic.
Emmyway's shadow began to writhe after sunset, as if it were a special magic that was automatically determined every few minutes, and after 8 p.m., Emmyway's shadow suddenly broke away from her main body and turned into a pitch-black humanoid form.
Emmivi couldn't open her eyes and wake up from her sleep, but she was able to manipulate her shadow to do some things. She asked the shadow to lay her body flat on the futon, then pulled out her usual weapons and equipment from her clothes and stored them in the shadow for the time being. After getting ready, Emmivi slipped through the crack in the wall to Elith's room next door, and the other party was also unable to wake up until the power of the rune paper was exhausted.
The shadow, who had no ability to speak, could not express Emmyway's anxiety at the moment, and she focused entirely on the shadow, slowly approaching the most lively area of the mansion.
In the west courtyard, the Kujo family is holding a celebration banquet, and there are those new guards standing outside, and in the hall, Kujo Sutra is sitting in the center, and next to him are Kujou Takashin and some retainers, even Takashin's younger brother, the Yoshiya who is most qualified to be the next head of the family according to his bloodline, also brought.
Emmivi let the shadow attach herself to the maid serving the food, and entered the hall without incident. She couldn't find Fujiwara Meihong's figure, and according to what she knew about this mansion, there was no hidden passage nearby where she could hide, so it was likely that she was hiding somewhere using unknown magic as in the past.
Taking advantage of the maid's departure, Emmyway's shadow clings to the vase by the wall, knowing that she can't stop this father-son fight, but she sees the opportunity to help Kujo Takanbu in any way she can, and she can still do it.
"Father, because of the effect of this attack on the Golden Pavilion, His Majesty the Emperor has finally agreed to marry Mayuki. As long as the friend I invited recovers from his injuries, there is a good chance that he will kill Ashikaga Yoshimitsu. At that time, His Majesty the Emperor will justifiably edict Ashikaga Shogun to retribution for his rebellion and uprooting the entire shogunate. ”
Kujou Takanobu sketched out the next step, and he felt that he had a great grasp of it. This time, Fujiwara Ancestor didn't make a move, and he just relied on the Raven Tengu he invited to beat the Golden Pavilion to the point that he had no power to fight back, if it weren't for the Tengu's fear of poison, he would have been able to blow the Golden Pavilion into ruins this time alone.
"I'm relieved to have you supporting the Kujo family. Even I feel that there are some aspects where I was inferior to you when I was younger. ”
Kujo had already made it clear before the banquet that he wanted to pass on the position of head of the family to Kujo Takanobu, and from that night of the Battle of Kinkaku, Kujo Takanobu achieved the desired result - the suppression of the Ashikaga shogunate. In fact, this group of people in high positions only wanted this result, and it would be no good for anyone to really bring down the shogunate.
From the moment Kujo Takanobu stepped onto the stage and directly called the shogunate, he was doomed to the end of tonight. If you lose, you will delay time for the Kujo family, and if you win, you will smoothly maintain the balance between the public family and the samurai family.
As for Kujo Takashin, the descendants of the handmaid are just a worthy blade in the eyes of the Kujo Sutra.
Shrewd as Fujiwara Meihong or Shooting Pill Ringo has seen too much of this kind of father-son killing, after all, birth determines fate, which is an eternal tradition in the East. They won't stand in the way, because it's someone else's business.
The poisonous wine has been prepared, and the old steward of the Kujo family knows very well how much strength Kujou Takashin has contributed to the family, and he also watched Koshin grow up, and when it really came time to kill Koshin, his hands inevitably trembled a little.
It may be that he couldn't bear it, and the poisoned wine was sent to Kujo Takanobu, but the bottle in his hand suddenly slipped and fell to the ground.
"Sanbinglang, what's going on?" Kujo Jingjiao glanced at the old steward and told him to go away, and he himself quickly got up and approached Kujou Takashin. "My old bones are no longer good, and it will be up to you to support the Kujo family in the future. ”
Kujou Takanbu was completely unaware of the danger, and as he had done before, he put the wine glass in his mouth.
Without a choice, Emmivi controls the shadow to burst out of the vase and throws a smoke bomb that knocks down Hyoshin's wine glass. Smoke bombs fell, and smoke and dust enveloped Hyoshin's position.
"There are assassins!"
The hall immediately panicked, after all, the Nine Sutras were already engaged in the old age, and they were easily pushed down by the shadows.
Kujou Takanbu didn't know what the black shadow that suddenly appeared was, and in a panic, he was wrapped around his arm by the shadow and forcibly dragged onto the roof.
The guards outside the door immediately rushed in, and when they saw the black shadow wrapped around Kujou Takanobu, they all drew their weapons and pointed them at the unknown monster on the roof.
"Let go of me! what are you......" Halfway through the words, Kujo Takanobu noticed the problem, Elias has been close to protect his safety except for going out, and now that a mysterious black shadow has appeared, Elias did not come to save himself.
Before Emmiwei had time to deliver the message, Tsunesuke Yamada on the side was the first to come forward with a katana to save people, although the knife was ineffective against Emmy, but Kujo Takanobu's attention was attracted to the past.
"No one is allowed to move!" Kujou Takanobu suddenly yelled, which allowed the panicked situation to be controlled. He had already guessed the identity of the black shadow and switched to Chinese Chinese, he turned his head and asked. "You're Emmivia, aren't you?"
Emmivi controlled the black shadow and nodded at the shape of the head, and then the shadow distorted, eventually turning into a Chinese character "poison".
Kujo Takanbu couldn't believe it, he looked at the wine and wine glasses spilled on the ground, and then looked at his father, Kujo Kyokyo, and the old steward Sanbinglang. The nine scriptures have not changed their faces so far, and the three soldiers bowed their heads in shame as soon as they looked at Shang Xiaoxin.
The matter was already clear, Kujou Takashin never expected his father to poison himself at the celebration banquet, he pointed at his old father tremblingly, and no longer knew what words to use to scold the other party. "You...... Why are you ......?"
"Xiaoxin is suspected of rebellion and collusion with demons. Kill him and the demons together!"
The order of the Kujo Sutra was tantamount to a clear attitude, and the guards he brought with him showed a fierce face, and all rushed towards the Kujo Takashin who was hanging from the roof. The roof was only three meters high, and Kujou Takanobu was now hanging in the middle, and he could cut this group of samurai who were proficient in swordsmanship into two pieces with a single sword.
"How could Lord Koshin rebel!" Tsunesuke Yamada couldn't believe the order of the head of the family, the Kujo Sutra, and stood in place at a loss.
The guards who were invited didn't say a word and took the eye-catching Yamada Tsunesuke as the target, and when Emmivi wanted to save someone, several katanas had already slashed at Yamada Tsunesuke's body.
was slashed six times in a row, and Yamada Tsunesuke didn't understand what happened until he died, maybe it's a good thing that he didn't understand to die.
"Hengsuke!" Seeing Fa Xiao die in front of him, Kujou Takashin was grief-stricken, what he valued most was his friends. Emmivi controlled the black shadow and dragged Kujou Takanobu onto the beam, so that she could dodge the slashing katana.
"Firebird - Phoenix Wings Soaring"
Emmiwei would not have expected that Fujiwara Meihong appeared on the roof, and a scorching flame exploded, not only overturning the entire roof of the hall, but also because of the instantaneous strong light, Emmywei's shadow had nowhere to hide, and the magic she currently considered to be the strongest was easily cracked in Fujiwara Meihong's hands.
Kujou Takanshin fell to the ground, and when he looked up, he saw only a vague human figure in the flames above his head.
Everything is over...... It's no wonder that Kujou Takashin pounced on his father without doing anything, pointing the tip of his broken chopsticks at his father's neck.
"All lay down their weapons and don't come close!"
The guards recovered from the explosion and saw that the head of the Kujou family was being held hostage, so they had to retreat slowly, while the other family members and retainers in the hall had already run out, leaving only a few old people. Even if they die, they will have to witness who will be the next head of the Kujo family.
The nearest Sanbing Lang hurriedly drank back to the hesitant guard, he hoped in his heart that what was happening in front of him was just a nightmare, on one side was the master he had served for most of his life, and on the other side was the excellent family inheritor who he had brought up as his own child. "Lord Hyoshin, and the head of the family, why are you suffering?"
Just when Kujou Takashin blamed himself because of Sanbinglang's words, Kujou Sutra suddenly exerted his strength, and his elderly body threw Kujou Takanshin to the ground.
"You have to die! You don't have the value to live anymore! Why don't you sacrifice your life for the Kujo family!"
Kujo Sutra taught one hand to jam Xiaoxin's hand holding chopsticks, and the other hand stuck Xiaoxin's neck, and Jiujo Jingjiao also held the consciousness of death to see off his illegitimate son. The two were at a stalemate, but it seemed that the young Hyoshin had more strength, and slowly stood up from the ground against his father's clamps.
"I will return what I said! You old thing can die for me and for this family!"
Takanobu pushed hard and knocked his father to the ground, he turned his head to see Yamada Hengsuke who died tragically on the side, he was furious, picked up Yamada Hengsuke's katana, and slashed at his father.
The old steward Sanbing Lang stood between the two, and Xiaoxin didn't have time to stop and cut the old steward to the ground. Blood was sprinkled on the faces of the two, and this stopped the madness of the two.
But it is impossible for the knife that has already been bladed to stop like this, closing his eyes and gritting his teeth and roaring, Kujou Takashin stabbed his biological father in the heart.
This tragedy has been doomed since Hyoshin returned to China, but he came a little earlier because he was too good.
"It seems that this is the will of heaven......" Fujiwara Meihong, who was wearing a male white hunting suit, appeared next to the two of them wearing a mask, she had seen many scenes of father and son killing each other, but it was rare for a non-sister-in-law to win. Closing her eyes for the Kujo Sutra herself, Fujiwara Meihong sighed and pinched the spell seal to relieve Emmivi and Elith from their slumber.
"Xiaoxin, you are now the murderer of your father, and once the news spreads, you will be wanted by the whole country. You take advantage of the night to escape to Daitokuji Temple, and I will arrange your next trip. ”
After Fujiwara Meihong finished speaking, she walked towards the chaos and began to shrink in a corner in fright, and did not dare to look up The orthodox heir - Kujo Yoshika. She rubbed the latter's head affectionately, recovering from her fright. Looking at each other, Fujiwara Meihong nodded affirmatively and only said one word.
"Don't let your father's and your brother's efforts go to waste. ”
