202. The Imperial Son and the Owl
"Do you understand his idea of cracking [Dengli]?"
The old woman on the eaves jumped lightly and landed on the ground with great lightness, like a cat jumping down the steps.
One can't help but wonder if her appearance in her seventies and eighties is her real age.
Inosuke pursed his lips, unable to speak.
He was completely forced to the limit by Lan En's momentum and change just now, and his mind was completely chaotic. Even observing, let alone thinking, is barely done.
Fight that guy. It's so oppressive!
And unlike his distant juniors, Nogami Gensai has maintained a high level of attention to Lan En from beginning to end on the sidelines.
From the point of view below, his treatment of [Dengli] seems to be very similar. [One word chop]. ”
[Reed Celebrity: One Word Slash] is different from the moves that are required to be practiced as physical instinct such as [Ascending Carp] and [Lower Carp], and is closer to the concept of swordsmanship in the eyes of ordinary people.
It is a kind of action that uses a forward step to slam and perform a powerful downward split.
In addition to being aggressive, [One Slash] will also have the function of stabilizing its own stance after being cast because of the huge action in this process.
This is information that only [Reed Celebrity] cultivators will know when they are qualified to cultivate this move.
And the outsider just now, it took less than two minutes to think of this.
In the courtyard, the atmosphere became silent for a while.
Everyone present had more or less practiced [Reed Celebrity], because [Sword Master] Reed Mind was not a self-cherishing fellow.
He unreservedly handed over his swordsmanship to his subordinates as their practice.
Therefore, everyone present can also understand how outrageous Lan En's performance was just now.
After a long time, the old female voice broke the silence in the courtyard.
"Hah!" The old woman named Butterfly chuckled.
"If you tell the news about that old thing, he will probably come to Pingtianso happily to watch the excitement, an outsider cracked the [Dengli] with a competition, hehe."
After teasing the old friend, the butterfly's voice returned to a state of few fluctuations.
"Have you reported his origins, Inosuke?"
"The report is that the report has been reported, but、But his original words are 'Ming people, learned art in Nanban, because he got lost and entered the reed'."
Inosuke said with a slight hesitation.
And the result on the scene was indeed as he thought, falling into an awkward silence.
The people of the Ming Kingdom, the Nanban, got lost in Dongying and entered the reed. No matter how you think about it, the slots are a bit too much.
So much so that Gensai Nogami, who originally had a very serious suspicion of Lan En, opened and closed his mouth at this time, and after repeating it several times, he asked Madame Butterfly with an awkward expression.
"That. Butterfly-sama, I'm not a ninja below, and I don't know much about it. But that sounds."
Nogami didn't say his conclusion, but his expression when he talked about Lan En had changed to 'This guy is weird', not 'This guy must be a spy'.
Madame Butterfly's expression was similar to his. But it may be that the ninja is well-informed after all, so his expression recovers quickly.
"The specific position and grade assessment have been delayed. Isn't it to kill a live chicken at night to reward the ronin? It will be announced at that time. ”
The figure of the old woman suddenly became a little illusory, as if a physical person suddenly became a projection, and the trend of blurring continued to increase.
"I will inform the young master of the situation, and all the reasons are based on the young master's decision. Above. ”
When the words landed, the old woman's figure became almost transparent, and finally collapsed into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared without a trace.
——
One of the deepest mansions in Hiratano.
The style of the courtyard here is already very different from the outer layer. The ground is no longer a dirt ground with greenery, but paved white pebbles.
Small ponds, rockeries, white courtyard walls and black house tiles, this is what the inner courtyard of a wealthy landlord looks like.
Dry landscape, the ancient courtyard style of Dongying emphasizes mourning and silence.
Inside the mansion, Madame Butterfly knelt on a cushion and reported to a child in the room.
The child looks like he is in his early teens, with short black and white hair, deep and calm eyes, and a sense of stability that does not belong to this age.
And his face doesn't know if it's because of his youth, he belongs to the level where he looks handsome when he is a boy and very delicate when he is a girl.
He was now sitting on the throne, and the look of his struggle to maintain his majesty was cute.
"Really? A strong man whose origin is so strange that it is difficult to verify."
"Yes, Lady Kuro. As for his first records, I have only traced down a few villagers, and there is also an oral confession by Ashigaru named 'Kotaro'. When he first appeared, he was already at the drawing place of Longquan River. ”
Madame Butterfly now holds a small cigarette stick in her hand, and she reports her findings as she swallows the clouds.
The child known as Miko bowed his head and muttered in contemplation.
"It's like it fell from the sky."
"So." On the other side of the room, an old man was unbelievably burly, with his mouth open under his thick beard.
"Butterfly, in your opinion, is he trained as a ninja?"
Even if this old man is sitting cross-legged on the ground, his height looks at least two meters four, and it is hard to imagine that in ancient times, there would be a person who was not inferior to Gregor Cregan in stature.
His beard was thick, and even his thick withered white hair was braided at the back, about the thickness of an ordinary woman's waist.
Madame Butterfly calmly knocked on the smoke pot, "Not at all, although I don't know how the 'ninjas' on the Ming Kingdom and Nanban sides are trained, but he hasn't even practiced the basic light body technique." I'm sure. ”
Ninjas can fly through walls, and even perform moves in the air with nowhere to focus, separating life and death in a moment of staggered death.
Without this kind of light body, you are not qualified to spy on intelligence and assassinate enemies.
The burly old man nodded, as if his interest in the outsider had ended.
"I'm fine, but if I'm a powerful samurai, even if I have bad intentions, the damage I cause will be a big deal. It's up to Miko-sama to decide. ”
The royal son on the throne nodded when he heard this.
"Since Lord Xiao doesn't think he's a threat, let's stay and appoint. Thinking that he had such a rich experience, he would come to join the Hirata family after seeing the situation clearly. ”
Inner House and Reed Name.
The inner government has basically unified the world, and the only remaining reed name, they will never show mercy or tolerate it.
Like a character who has such a rare experience but can't prove himself, even if he goes to the inner house, the other party will not let him leave safely.
The process of unifying the world cannot tolerate forks, and the strength of the inner government also ensures that they will not lose a strong combat power at all.
Even if they infiltrate Ashina, they will prefer the bandits who know their roots, rather than unknown outsiders.
When the inner government and Ashina go to war, the people and forces that are not subordinate to the two sides will only be crushed.
