-264- Kill in the Rain

In the west of Tokyo, in Eri's favorite izakaya.

After their last lunch in Tokyo, it was time for them to hit the road again, the horses had been bought, and how to get out on horseback. The gates are wide open, so just rush out.

And just as they were eating, they suddenly heard a conversation between two men at the next table:

"Did you hear that? The second elder of the Kanzaki family seems to be very dissatisfied with the current Kanzaki family~"

"You're talking about the most famous Onmyoji family? Tokyo's? ”

The man on the other side rolled his eyes, "Of course, why don't I talk about it if you don't share the same city with us?" It is said that these two elders were very dissatisfied at the family meeting not long ago, and it seems that it was about Shikigami, and I don't know the details......"

The topic of conversation between men is always inseparable from making money and discussing current affairs, even if they are not yet at that level, they still talk about it and constantly put forward their own opinions.

Asuina also listened to the conversation just now, and asked in a low voice:

"Aunt Eri, the Kanzaki family...... What is it? ”

"One of the strongest Onmyoji families in the Shigeru Sakura Country, located in Tokyo, before we left, there was an Onmyoji of the Kanzaki family who was found by your father, remember?"

This shows that Hina is a little impressed.

"The so-called Onmyoji is to recover those monsters, and put a seal on them for their own use, these monsters can no longer be called monsters, the ancient onmyoji gave them a new name - Shikijin."

Asuna nodded as if she didn't understand, and asked again like a curious baby, "What are the two uncles next door talking about?" Is it something that happened in the Kanzaki family? ”

Eri is an undercover agent from the Tokyo protection family, whether it is the Yuki family or the Kanzaki family, the information about them is clear to Eri, but now she can't get the latest information from the family, but she still knows some deeper relationship information, and after thinking about it again, she decided to tell Asukina:

"No matter how powerful a family is, if there is no powerful figure in the world, it will sooner or later be divided into two or more factions from the inside, they claim to be the same family externally, but internally they will often quarrel and even fight because of the interests of the faction."

Asukina's eyes seemed to darken: "Our family...... Isn't that the case? ”

Eri nodded dryly, lying to her again would only hurt her.

"The Great Elder and the head of the family are the mainstream factions of the Kanzaki family, and they have also inherited the orthodox ruling power, and a part of the Kanzaki people led by the second elder are dissatisfied with the plan for the distribution of Shikishen after the Great Elder and the head of the family have been privately discussed for a long time, and the number of Shikishen that they could have mastered has been greatly reduced, and the quality has become very different, and the contradiction has already been buried."

"The head of the Kanzaki family wants to reclaim the rights that were delegated back then, and send important and useful things to others, and others are naturally happy, but if they turn their heads and take the things back, no one will accept them, and there are not a few people like the second elder who have received such treatment, so they naturally form a faction and fight together against the orthodox faction, which we usually call 'hawks', and those who use non-force means to regain their power are called 'doves'."

"Now, the leader of this hawk is probably in a hurry, and it may not be long before the Kanzaki family will fall into civil strife like our Yuuki family......" Eri said solemnly, and then quickly changed to a smiling face:

"But it has nothing to do with us, does it? Besides, the chaos in the world is also good for you, Tomorrow Na. ”

"Good for me? What does that mean? ”

"Because turbulent times mean a change of power, people will not pay attention to the nominal right and wrong as they did in the previous peaceful eras, and you will reach out and point at your spine bones and say that you seek power and usurp the throne. They just want a stronger ruler to continue to protect them, so that the chaos of war doesn't burn on their heads, isn't this your best chance? ”

"You can only achieve your goals if you become strong enough, and determination alone is weak."

Asukana was about to say something, but Eri had already stood up.

"It's all eaten, let's go now."

She lowered her head silently, knowing that it was useless to say anything now, only to work hard to get Aunt Eri's affirmation.

Not long after, with a neigh, one of the most expensive horses in the horse farm rushed straight out of the north city gate!

Whether it's going into the city or going out of the city, it's indispensable to investigate.,In order to avoid the investigation.,Eri can only make this decision.,But there's no way to do it.。

The defenders on the castle tower shouted and fired their arrows, and the clusters of steel arrows were bounced off by the blood-colored ice wall that somehow appeared behind the horses' butts, and the three of them fled Tokyo unscathed.

Regarding Yin Reina's defense mechanism, Eri has already figured it out, and it is precisely because Yin Reina is there that Eri dares to do this, otherwise a few weak women who haven't run far will definitely be shot to death by a random sword.

As Eri said before, as long as they get out of Tokyo, they are basically stable, and Kashima Katori City, which used to take about 20 days to get there, can now shorten the journey of 20 days to less than 10 days by riding a horse along the official road from Tokyo to Chiba and then extending from Chiba.

In order to reach a place where he could completely settle down as soon as possible, Eri carried two oil bottles all the way through the wind and rain, and the horses were too tired to rest on the spot for a while.

Even at night when the road is flat, as for sleeping? In such a road situation, children can move forward steadily with the reins when they come, and the jet lag between Eri and Asujina can be realized while rushing while sleeping, and although they can only take a nap on horseback at most, it is enough as a rest.

Nine days passed in a flash, and in the blink of an eye, the destination was close to the end of the day, which made the two of them feel a little dazed.

"Hold on a little longer, do you see the mountains ahead? Mr. Tsukahara's dojo is on the highest mountain, and we will be there in no time. ”

Some traces of human activity can be seen in the surroundings, and there was an autumn rain not long ago, and now it is foggy, but you can still faintly see a village at the foot of the mountain not far away, and both Eri and Asuina are in a good mood.

And at this moment, Yin Rena suddenly fell to the side, and because of her, Eri, Asukina, and Ma all rolled over on their sides.

"Yikes!"

Asukina screamed and fell into the damp mud.

Eri snorted, her legs were crushed by the heavy body of the horse, and with her own strength it would take some time to pull her legs out, and when she wondered how the horse had fallen and collapsed, the fog cleared slightly, and Eri saw the other side of the horse, where an arrow was stuck in the heart, and the red blood was gurgling, staining her boots red.

Eri Tongkong shrinks, and they are ambushed!

It has to be said that Eri's instinct was accurate, and when she raised her head vigorously, she could see a number of black-clothed samurai coming out of the woods on the side of the hillside, about thirty people, and some of them were holding bows and arrows in their hands as ironclad evidence of attacking them.

Eri sneered and shouted loudly: "The head of the Yuki Eto family really paid a lot of money to kill our three little women, and actually sent thirty black armor guards from the family to ambush us!" We are so much to look up to! ”

"You're mistaken," the leader of the Black Armor Guard drew the sword from his waist and gradually approached them, "It's not the three of you, it's two, and we're going to bring that foreign woman back intact." ”

"Even the flesh and blood of the head of the family have to be buried with me!"

I only heard the leader sneer:

"What biological flesh and blood? Only the child born to the woman who is marrying the Ming media can be called his own flesh and blood, Yuki Asuna, just a wild seed with the glorious surname of the Yuki family, so what's the harm in killing it? ”

"Big brother, you've made the same mistake again."

The leader known as the eldest brother paused: "I always can't control my mouth, too, what do you always say so much to the dead?" ”

With that, their pace suddenly quickened.

Asukina, who was not pressed under the horse, quickly got up from the mud pit and grabbed the knife on the saddle, but such a steel knife was still too heavy for a half-grown child, and Assuna struggled to hold it in his hand, and Fu Wushuang did not go alone, at this moment, the autumn rain that had fallen not long ago killed a horse pistol again, and the three people who were ambushed were drenched in soup.

Under the rainproof cloak, the group of black-armored guards did not look embarrassed at all, and the sense of oppression was still there.

But even so, Asukina overcame her inner fear and stood in front of her dear Aunt Eri over the carcass of the horse.

"Aunt Eri...... Tomorrow Nai ...... will protect you! ”

Seeing a little kid with a sword brazenly standing in front of the most elite armed forces of the Yuki family, they all laughed:

"Little one, let's take off the scabbard first!"

"Aha, look at what she's shaking? The rain is cold, right? A pampered lady like you should play with bamboo knives in the dojo! ”

"Starling is right! Hahahaha......"

In front of the noble and ungrown Asuina, these sneering black-clothed people are like dream demons with their teeth and claws, and the murderous aura and the smell of blood that can't be washed away from their bodies make Assuna want to vomit when she smells it.

"Don't laugh!"

The eldest brother shouted, "Work!" Late will change! ”

"Hey!!"

Now, they will no longer grind, and only by correcting these two traitors who betrayed the family can they perfectly complete the tasks assigned by the head of the family.

Watching them run towards him, Asuka's legs were trembling, not only cold, but also scared, and her whole body was trembling, only her eyes became more and more resolute.

And at that moment, a dark green figure came to her side, bent down, and then snatched the sword from Asukina's hand without gentleness, even indifference, and walked forward.

The eldest brother frowned, she looked like a foreign woman in the mouth of the head of the family, and if she joined the battle, it would not hurt her.

So the order was immediately given:

"Split into three teams! Kill them one by one! ”

"Hey!!"

The order was given, and the black armor guard skillfully and naturally split into three, surrounding Assuna and Eri, while Yin Rena was still walking towards her eldest brother, who was the most hostile to her......

Looking at Yin Rena's gradually distant figure and the black armor guards on both sides approaching without fear, Asuna knew that she and Aunt Eri might be unable to escape today, but the originally fast heartbeat now slowly calmed down, and a wry smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and then she opened her mouth wide, and shouted with the largest decibel in her life:

"Big sister! You're going to live! ”

-------------------------------------

"Yin Rena! You're going to live! ”

On the streets at night, the mutated evil creatures of ordinary people attacked the citizens in a grand manner.

It is even more powerful by its mysterious presence, and the Night Stalkers of the Night Order around it are no match for it.

The Holy See's Divine Ruler is still on her way, and Yin Rena's Night Stalker teammate is now about to die under the claws of the evil thing, making a final sound, she is no longer saved, and can only let her teammates try to live.

And at that moment, Yin Rena suddenly awakened her own unique ability, and put on an invincible shield for herself and her teammates in a short period of time.

With this precious time, the Divine Judges arrived just in time.

No matter how powerful the evil creature transformed by ordinary people is, the foundation is just like that, and the local Divine Judge can solve it with a little effort.

Yin Rena saved her teammates with her own strength, and also indirectly protected the surrounding ordinary citizens who fell into a stupor due to the crazy fall of the SAN value, including the daughter of a piano teacher.

As a result, Yin Leina, who had just filled up the small treasury but was not yet extravagant enough to go to the opera house, got a free ticket to watch tomorrow's "Rookie Musician Competition".

"My mother was a violin teacher at the Sini workshop, so ...... So my performance ability is not bad, please come and watch my performance at that time! Please! ”

The pretty girl carried a piano box as white as snow and bowed in front of Yin Rena, whose true face was covered by a mask, and invited Yin Rena to watch her game with a sincere attitude, as a price to save her life, because when the evil thing appeared, because of its too strange appearance, the girl's value bottomed out, and she stayed in place completely, if there was no Yin Rena, sitting in the carriage without horses, she was the second closest to the evil thing, and she was definitely the next plate of food for the evil thing.

Yin Rena took the ticket handed by the girl and said softly: "I received your kindness, and I will definitely go to cheer for you when the time comes." ”

The girl raised her head happily, and then said, "No, no, no, I didn't ask you to cheer for me, but to repay the grace of saving my life...... Ah, if you want to cheer me on, then I'll be happy too! ”

The girl's panicked appearance was very funny, and Yin Rena couldn't help but be amused by her, and the previous fear also disappeared a lot inadvertently......
