There are not a few people who are knowledgeable among the disciples of the Abe family, and they were shocked when they heard the name of the 'ghost wife', and even their head Abe Xiaosan was stunned, "You really fell for the 'ghost wife'?"

"Yes, it's the poisonous 'ghost wife' near the right in the Wind Demon. ”

Abe Xiaosan sighed: "There is really such a strange poison in the world, how long has it been since you were poisoned?"

"It's been more than a month. ”

Xiao San pinched his fingers and calculated, stared at his face with his eyes, and said after a while: "You really fell for the 'ghost wife' for more than a month? Then you ......?"

He wanted to say, 'Why are you still alive?' but he thought it was too rude, so he changed his tone and said, "Who healed you?"

This poison has always been cooked by Sun Sheng, but Kojiro didn't know whether the Abe family was a friend or foe, and after weighing it again, he decided to prevaricate with him.

"There are many capable people among my father's retainers, and he is healed by a divine doctor who is called 'ghosts and gods are invincible'. ”

"'Ghosts and gods are invincible'? There are such miracle doctors in the world? Why haven't I even heard of them?"

"This man has lived in seclusion in the mountains all year round, and although he has a very eccentric temperament, he is extremely skilled in medicine. In the early years, thanks to his father-in-law's treatment and gratitude for kindness, and thanks to his father-in-law to come to the door to perform a great gift, he made a lot of money to make him reluctant to get out of the mountain, and I was saved by that person. ”

Kojiro's nonsense came as soon as he opened his mouth, as if it had really happened, and even he himself was surprised how to make it up so smoothly.

The four of them saw that his face had not changed in the slightest, and his calm and unbelieving expression almost deceived them.

Looking at Abe's hesitant face, he seemed to be thinking carefully.

After a long time, Abe Xiaosan said: "Do you know that this poison is colorless and tasteless, specializing in men." Although the poisoned person cannot be poisoned immediately, it slowly erodes from the inside of the body, and after half a month, the toxin attack turns into blood and water within a day, and this pain is more than that of a hundred ants devouring the heart. ”

Kojiro sighed lightly and felt that he was ill-fated, but since he had become such a field, he didn't think about it, and tried his best to get the news while protecting his companions.

"Thanks to the hand of the divine doctor, I was able to renew my life for a few months. If you can find Tamamo in front of it within a few months and ask her to give her a fox tail, this poison may be cured. ”

Abe's face changed slightly, and he asked in a loud voice: "The fox tail in front of Tamamo actually has such a miraculous effect?! ”

"Rest assured, Lord Abe, this miracle doctor has never told me anything, and please tell me where Tamamo is. ”

Abe Xiaosan chuckled a few times, glanced at my grandson from time to time and said, "There is this monster in the world, but it's just ...... This method of finding is very rare. ”

This sentence made Yui and the others feel strong in their hearts, they had suffered so much and waited for this sentence, Qin Yao said in a low voice: "Thank God, it was not in vain in the end." ”

Abe asked again: "How do you know that there are such monsters in the world?

Kojiro heard that he was still inquiring about Sun Sheng's news, and deliberately prevaricated, "The divine doctor is superb, and it is not surprising to know this news." ”

"And do you know where this miracle doctor is?"

"I don't know!"

Abe's expression was stunned, no one dared to talk to him like this over the years. He knew in his heart that Kojiro was lying, but Kojiro didn't know what was going on when he pushed four, five or six, but there was nothing he could do.

Kojiro was afraid that Abe Kosan would be unfavorable to Sun Sheng, so he decided to hide the matter to the end, and he refused so that Abe Kosan would not inquire again.

The magic doctor is really of great use to Abe Xiaosan, I saw him secretly take two breaths, and suddenly the corners of his mouth raised, and said regretfully: "I only know the way to find but I don't know where she is, and this method of finding is beyond the reach of people, I'm afraid you ......"

Kojiro was a little flustered when he heard this, and his face unconsciously showed a look of disappointment, and he forced himself to calm down: "This ...... Is it hard to find a way?"

"It's very difficult, no less than the poison of this 'ghost wife'. You're still dead to this heart, no one has been able to find her since ancient times, unless ......" He deliberately pulled his voice to see Kojiro's impatient appearance.

"Unless what?"

"Unless I, the lineage of the Abe family, personally look for it, or I can give it a try!"

"Descendant bloodline...... Aren't there only three women from the Abe family left besides him?"

Only then did Kojiro understand his intentions, it turned out that he wanted to remember his favor.

He bowed respectfully and said humbly, "Please tell me, Lord Abe, I will always remember such great kindness!"

Abe Xiaosan picked up the dishes and chopsticks and ate two bites, then squinted at him and said, "Why do I want to accompany you on the adventure?

"Abe-sama, please advise me if you have any orders!"

Abe Xiaosan put down the dishes and chopsticks, and shouted: "Who is the person who treated your injuries?! Do you still want to deceive me about such a trivial matter?"

He spoke softly and gently, and suddenly shouted a sentence that was tantamount to a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the frightened disciples suddenly threw down the dishes and chopsticks and knelt on the ground.

Kojiro was also afraid in his heart, but this fear was fleeting, and suddenly a sense of pride ignited in his heart, and he completely put life and death out of the way.

He replied firmly: "I didn't lie!

He had made up his mind that he would not put his friend in danger even if he was poisoned and died, even if he ...... The probability is just in case.

Abe looked at him for a long time, as if the air had frozen.

"Sure enough, it's a good piece of steel, I'd rather bend it than bend it! It seems that I have to beat him, or I won't be able to get in." ”

He thought for a while, picked up the dishes and chopsticks and said slowly: "Don't be in a hurry, today is the trial of my inner disciples, and you have the right to participate." First, let's learn from each other and enhance the friendship between the two families, so that I can see if you have the ability to tell you the way to find it. ”

"Sure enough, it was designed in advance!" He was still unaware of what Duoxi said last night, but now he listened to what Xiao San said in person, and suddenly there was more meaning of inviting you into the urn.

He really couldn't figure out why Abe was obsessed with asking the people who healed the poison, and he couldn't figure out why he had to let them participate in the trial.

Do you want to be angry for your daughter, or do you want to use the competition to ruin the reputation of the owner? Or ...... Kill them on the spot!

Kojiro can't figure it out, he doesn't have to think about things that can't be figured out, he's not a tangled person.

It's just that this move is not only related to himself, but also involves the safety of his four friends, which makes him worried.

The hesitation on his face fluctuated, and suddenly his expression became very resolute and said, "Thank you, Lord Abe, we won't participate in this competition, let's leave it at that!"

As soon as these words came out, not only Abe Xiaosan, but also Lianyi and others were stunned, and no one thought of what he said.

Qin Yao tugged at his cuffs with tears in his eyes and shook his head.

Yui stood up, rounded her arm and gave him a slap, "Say it again!"

Kojiro covered his face with an extremely complicated expression, "I'm for your good!"

Abe Xiaosan looked at them silently, he wanted to see how they were going to collect this time?

Yui bowed and said, "Takeda retainer, Inoue Yui meets the great onmyoji Abe and the three youngest. ”

Abe Xiaosan glanced at her intentionally or unintentionally and said, "You are the eldest daughter of the Inoue family who has been in business for generations?"

"Yes!"

Abe Xiaosan said with disdain: "The daughter of a merchant, she is given a surname and is very inferior, you are not worthy to talk to me." ”

Yui's face stiffened, this was an indescribable pain in his heart, even if he was rich in the world, he was not even as good as a civilian. She always pretends to be an eldest sister with everyone, and there is also a little to cover up the inferiority complex in her heart, and at this time, the pain point in her heart is really painful when she is poked in front of her.

Abe Xiaosan deliberately said this to humiliate her in public, and Yui, as a retainer in Japan, really has no part to speak for the master.

Yui suddenly puffed up her chest and raised her head and said: "It is common sense for friends to care for each other and help each other, so why do you care about the status class? Toyotomi Hideyoshi was just a superficial peasant son at the beginning, and now he is not also a noble Sekihaku? If it is as Lord Abe said, it is too short-sighted!"

Everyone in the Abe family has kept in mind the three, six, nine, and so on since childhood, and this concept is deeply ingrained, and even though the Inoue family is a Toyotomi minister, they still feel that Yui is just a pariah, but it is not easy to offend. Even if she said this indiscernment, she still regarded her as an ant in her heart.

Abe Xiaosan thought for a long time after hearing this, and muttered: "Oh, seeing that your family is also quite appreciated for being loyal to the country, I will listen to what you have to say." But you remember, this is a favor I have given you and not what you deserve. ”

Yui bowed to the ground, very polite, "Although I can't trespass for my retainers, I also want to defend my young master." The inner door trials of the Abe family have always been only accessible to inner disciples. Your Abe family is very hierarchical, how can we not know such rules? The young master of my family is afraid of breaking the rules of the Abe family, and would rather die by poisoning himself, and this act of sacrificing his life is really for the sake of the century-old rules of your Abe family. ”

"Oh, I don't know how important it is?"

"I'm just talking about the concerns of my young master. ”

"So the young master of your family wants to participate in the trial?" Abe squinted his eyes, and his eyes were full of disdain.

Yui grabbed Kojiro's head and bowed fiercely, and replied, "Yes!"

Abe Xiaosan asked again: "Then what is the explanation for you beating your young master?"

Yui's face was ruthless, and he said very firmly: "There is no need to explain, as a retainer, the following offenders should be punished." With that, he couldn't stop slamming his mouth with both hands.

I only heard the loud sound of "bang bang bang" above the canteen, and within a while, my cheeks were red and swollen.

"That's enough! there's no room for you to talk here, step down!" Kojiro ordered.

Yui turned a deaf ear and still danced with her hands to fight to the death.

Abe Xiaosan looked at it for a long time, and said leisurely: "Can't you hear the order of your young master?"

Kojiro's eyes were red and he glared at Abe Kozo, only to see him looking at Yui like a beast. It wasn't until Kojiro tried his best to hold Yui's hands that the slap stopped.

Kojiro clenched his teeth, tried his best to collapse his trembling body, and used all his strength to pop out three words from the cracks in the corners of his mouth: "I'll participate!"

Abe Xiaosan looked at him playfully, stroked his hair and said, "Since you have refused, how do you know if I am willing to let you participate in it again?"

Kojiro's face was pale, he was silent for a long time, and he roared, "Please also ask Lord Abe to forgive me for my rudeness!"

"Who is it that heals you?!"

"I don't know !!!"

Abe Kosan smiled, laughing so happily that he even felt that people like Kojiro should not exist in the world.

He said softly with a smile on his face: "In this case, I'll see you at noon today." Oh, by the way, if any of you wins, I'll send someone to help you find Tamamo. ”

After Abe Xiaosan left his words, he took my grandson, Duoxi, Reiko, and Shaochou out of the canteen.

Abe's grandson saw that his face twitched uncontrollably, and even his eyebrows were twisted into a twist, so he quietly followed him.

The two were originally close brothers, but they were disgusted because of the matter of Xizi. Since ten or twenty years, the two of them have loved each other and abandoned the other, and it has become an insurmountable rift between the two. I don't know when this rift seems to have built a bridge, and this bridge is Reiko Abe.

My grandson knows that Abe Xiaosan humiliated Yui so much in order to vent his anger on Reiko Abe. Although this has been done a little, it is quite satisfactory. As a result, the suspicion between each other has faded a little.

Abe Xiaosan and my grandson returned to the study, he closed the door and scolded: "A damn ronin, a bitch, and the miscellaneous things dare to disobey me! Dogs, if it weren't for Takeda Shingen behind me, I would have killed them alive!"

My grandson stood there motionless, not smiling or angry, and watched Abe Kosan scolding and scolding there, until he finished greeting the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of Kojiro and Yui, and then said: "I quite admire the person who pretended to be the Yoshiko of the Takeda family. ”

"Guts?!He has a fart guts!!A ronin wearing the Takeda family crest to swagger and deceive, and still have the guts?"

My grandson smiled and said nothing, quietly looking at Abe Xiaosan.

Abe Xiaosan continued to scold, until he ran out of strength to scold and said: "Okay, I can't hide it from you, I also have some appreciation for him." ”

My grandson then said, "Look at you, you just don't mean it, do you still need to hide it with me? Others may not know, can I still not see why you are angry?"

Abe Xiaosan suddenly turned his anger into An, his face became extremely fast, it turned out that Fang was so angry that he was all pretending to be seen.

He raised his eyebrows lightly and kept looking at the person in front of him.

They have grown up together since childhood, and it can be said that they have been familiar with each other for a long time, but even if the two have been together until they are not confused, he still feels that the person in front of him is bottomless.

Abe asked, "Do you know why I'm angry?"

My grandson smiled nondeniably, waved his hand again, shook his head, and replied, "No, no." You're not angry at all. ”

"Wasn't I so angry just now?"

"Not counting!"

Abe's face turned cold, and he asked in a low voice, "Then what do you say I look like to be angry?"

"Now, when I guess what I'm thinking. ”

When my grandson saw his face, he knew that he was right, and bowed beside him, and said, "You have always been very elegant, how can you be angry at a trivial matter? ”

Abe's eyes widened and he opened his mouth to ask, "How do you know?

"Didn't you give the poison of the 'Devil's Wife' to the right near in the Wind Demon? If there is really an antidote, let's leave a few of them, and then spread the 'ghost wife' in the court, and then they won't be able to look at our faces in order to survive?"

Abe Xiaosan nodded, "The person who knows me is none other than my Sun Junya, and you also know that in order to please Tokugawa Ieyasu, I gave the demon poison 'Ghost Wife' to the Wind Demon Valley, and today this poison has a way to be understood can be regarded as a happy event." ”

My grandson shook his head and said, "This is just one of them, not all of them. ”

"Not all? So what do you want me to be happy about?"

"You're glad you've found a doctor who makes the antidote, so ...... We might be able to let him do something big!"

Xiao San and my grandson looked at each other and smiled, acquiescing to his thoughts, and then asked: "Then how can you find this doctor? and how can you get Ken to let him do another big thing? You can see, the 'Ghost of Azuchi Momoyama' is very short-sighted!"

My grandson pondered for a while, then went over the matter and said, "In my opinion, this doctor is among these people......!

This idea is very vicious, he is afraid that the wall has ears, so he leaned on Abe's ear and told him all the plans in his heart.

After hearing this, Abe Xiaosan laughed and praised: "It's not for my Zhuge , if you really have yours, you will do what you want!

My Sun responded very happily, in his heart Yui was the mastermind of bullying Reiko, Sun Sheng was her thug, Abe Xiaosan's order coincided with him, and he hurriedly retreated after a salute.

Kojiro's room.

Yui is angry with Kojiro, and although the other three know that they are all thinking about each other, they don't know how to persuade them after all.

After a long time, Kojiro asked, "You've decided?"

Yui looked at him and replied with a sigh of relief, "It's not just me who decided, all four of us decided!"

"But I don't want to put you in danger, even if it's ...... now."

Qin Yao said: "Don't talk about it, Childe, we will not change our plans since we have an idea." When you and I first met you, we saved me from danger, how many times have you flinched?"

Kojiro and Yui first met in Xiandou Town, when he thought that he had stepped forward to save Qin Yao because of the wine.

At that time, he didn't know anything and didn't care about anything, he got along with everyone for a long time, and saw that everyone was enthusiastic and self-sacrificing, and he also understood a lot of it.

Looking back at the past now, the ambiguity in my heart is clear. At that time, the decision to save Qin Yao was not impulsive, but the burning heart of benevolence in the chest, which came from the beginning and was not disturbed by external objects.

If you are still like this, how can you let your friends retreat? With a certain thought, he said, "Okay! We cannot live together, but we can die together." Whether the Abe family is good or bad, good or bad, let's go through it hand in hand!"

The four of them looked at each other and smiled, and shouted, "Good!"
