Chapter 138: Into the Abyss to Find Your Heart
At night, around the building of the Medical Soul Hospital, hundreds of samurai slept in armor to prevent Himiko from sneaking up in the middle of the night. Tiredness was written on everyone's face, and the frowning eyebrows were invariably engraved on each sleeping face.
The same is true of the building, where only the wounded are allowed to sleep in hospital beds, and the samurai who are still fighting are sticking to their posts, even when they are asleep, they are always on their toes.
Kimura Hongyi sat in a hospital room, where more than a dozen injured female warriors of the Kimura family slept, he was very considerate as the head of the family waiting by the side of his subordinates, but as a man, he did not have the slightest sense of avoiding suspicion, he sat naturally beside a group of women, looking at a book that had long been yellowed in his hand, cocked legs, light fingers, slightly loose eyebrows, maybe he often stayed with these female subordinates, his cheeks and movements were quite feminine.
At the age of his early forties, there are not many vicissitudes on his face, and his clean face even reveals a bit of youth, looking younger than Gense Jing, a person who is a few years younger than him.
"Aren't you going to sleep for a while?" asked Chimorizuru, who was sitting in front of the window.
Hiroki Kimura put down the book, yawned, and looked at the old man in the moonlight, "Mother-in-law, I'm not tired." ”
Qian Shouhe's eyes sank, and he said quite seriously, "I advise you, don't think about that White Bird Ling, tomorrow you will definitely negotiate the next counteroffensive plan, you must be here." ”
Of course he knew, but he was still reassured, "She's been coming to me seven or eight times tonight, and it's okay to keep hanging her." Moreover, it will not necessarily affect tomorrow's consultations......"
"Whatever you want, I'm not from the Kimura family. As she spoke, there was a hint of anger on her old face, and she turned her head angrily, with an expression of "I don't care about you".
He sighed, he knew that Senmoritsuru was doing it for his own good, but he couldn't turn away the Shiratori family master, and looking at her worried look, he didn't know what he would do.
At this time, there was a ninth knock on the door, which was louder than the previous ones. He reluctantly opened the door and met the red eyes of Bai Bird Ling.
"She hasn't come back yet. ”
Again, the answer. This time, she didn't even say a polite word, and left with her head down. Looking at her back, he knew she would definitely come back.
When she was far away, Kimura Hiroki turned back to Chimoritsuru and said, "Let's see her for a while, it won't necessarily be anything, maybe just ask a few words." ”
"Is there anything I can't ask you, the head of the family?" Chimoritsuru apparently saw through his self-deception, "I obviously want you to take her to the penal colony." ”
"It's okay, I'll show her the way back at most, and it won't affect the meeting after dawn. ”
Chimoritsuru didn't speak again, she had finished what she had to say, and it was just a repetition to say anything more.
Half an hour later, the resentful figure really appeared at the door again, and this time, it was finally the person she had been looking for all night who opened the door.
"Miss Iori...... I have something to say to you. ”
Iori didn't speak, quietly went out with her, and came to a deserted corridor, "I heard my father say that you looked for me all night, and I have been ......"
She just wanted to explain where she had gone during this time, but Shiratori Ling didn't care at all, as long as she found her, "I want to ask you...... Take me to the 24th arrondissement. ”
Iori paused, frowning slightly, "Why do you want to go there? It's a terrifying penal colony, it's dark, and it's hard for ordinary people to walk, it's a hell that only ghosts can live in." Besides, now Himiko must have stayed there to gather his troops and prepare to attack again. At this time, you go, it's too dangerous. ”
"I have to go. I knew that Brother Xiao was there now, and I couldn't feel at ease for a moment. Recalling the white horse Xiao she saw a few hours ago, although her expression was unfamiliar, the last words that roared out made her firmly believe that her brother Xiao must have been held hostage and was in danger.
Iori knew that the woman in front of her could do anything for the sake of the white horse, and she couldn't stop her, "I can tell you how to go down." Don't force yourself when you go down, and if you feel that something is wrong, come up quickly......"
"I know I can't stay there long without you. So I thought...... Please come with me. ”
Iori was helpless, she originally wanted her to go down by herself, but after being forced back by the spiritual power there, the matter was abandoned. But now it seems that she has been told that she must be accompanied by Iori to operate in the penal colony. Seeing that she couldn't prevaricate, she struggled a little in her heart, she really wanted to help Shiratori Ling, but she had her own concerns.
Seeing that her furrowed brows were full of hesitation, Shiratori Ling's inner defense line was about to collapse, and she bent her knees and knelt down, "Iori...... I know I was mean to you before, but now I really ...... I beg you to ......"
Iori didn't expect that this woman, who had always been resolute, cold and arrogant, would do this, which really scared her.
At that moment, the phrase "I promise you" was almost blurted out, but it was quickly overcome by reason, and she knew that she must not make a rash decision, this was the biggest secret of the family, and it was not just her business.
"Can't promise her!" Repeating this sentence in her mind, Iori struggled countless times in a stunned moment before finally making up her mind. She folded her arms and turned her head, not daring to look at the white bird feather who was already in tears, "Now...... Now that you know how to beg me, when you had that attitude towards me before, did you ever think that you would beg me one day? It's ridiculous. ”
Putting down her dignity in exchange for such humiliation, someone like her should immediately turn her face, right?
But Iori was mentally prepared, and it would be okay for her to turn her face with herself later, or even just slap her, better than the consequences of promising her.
But she still overestimated Bai Birdling's dignity, or underestimated her feelings for Bai Maxiao, not only did not tear her face, but went one step further.
She tugged at Iori's skirt and cried and begged, "I beg you...... I really...... There's no one else who can help me......"
Not only her, but Iori's psychological defense was about to collapse, and she said bitterly, "What are you entangled! I won't ...... it."
"Enough!"
The sudden roar came from her head, and Iori was startled, but she saw Genjian coming down the stairs angrily and pulling Shiratori Ling, "No matter what she says, she is also the head of the Shiratori family, can you afford to kneel like this!"
Iori was also helpless, but she had to continue to pretend to be arrogant and say, "What's the matter with you? Did I tell her to kneel?!"
Gen Kenichi suddenly came up with an arrow step, Iori thought he was going to make a move, and subconsciously dodged away, and at that moment, he had already come to his ear and said something.
After listening to this, Iori looked at him in surprise, his lips opened slightly, and he muttered, "Your Majesty knows?"
Genjian smiled slightly and whispered, "Do you think that with your clumsy acting skills, you can deceive Genji and Akai for so many years? Without Your Majesty's protection, you Kimura would have been the second Shiratori a long time ago." ”
This was a decision made for her, and instead of feeling the anger of being coerced, Iori felt a little glad, "Okay, I'll take you down." ”
Shiratori Ling immediately burst into tears and laughed, "Thank you!"
What's so good about that man...... Iori let out a long sigh, she had never loved anyone else, and she couldn't understand this kind of emotion of sacrificing herself for love.
The three of them quietly walked out of the building and came to a secluded place, Iori hesitated, "Are you sure...... Why don't you talk to those family heads?"
Bai Bird Ling shook her head, still with tears on her face, "I want to bring Brother Xiao back as soon as possible, and if there are more people who go, it will only make a mistake, what is the difference between saying it and not saying it?"
Yuan Jian saw her thoughts, "Are you afraid that once they believe that Bai Ma Fei is also a cult person, it will affect Dongzhou's morale? Moreover, the big war is imminent, and you have the heavy responsibility of leading the Medical Spirit Academy, they will not agree to you taking this risk." ”
Shiratori's eyes darkened, "I didn't think about it that much. ”
During the time after the battle, rumors did spread in the army that Bai Ma Fei was a member of the Snake God Sect, and those seven warriors spread the word, and it is estimated that everyone except for the unconscious Spirit Emperor knew about this shocking news. Iori felt that before the next time Himiko launched an attack, it would be best to solve this problem first, and if he could clear up the misunderstanding and bring back Hakubashino. Contrarily...... It's also a broken thought, so let's find a way to explain it then.
"It's such a good night tonight, what are you doing?"
The fourth voice suddenly remembered, and the three of them were full of excitement, but they saw a little girl standing not far away.
"Saya?!" Iori exclaimed. This girl was so elusive that she didn't even notice that she was following.
Shiratori Ling stepped forward and pleaded with Xiao Ye, "Xiao Ya...... Don't ......."
"Don't worry, I'll tell them that you three have just gone back to the Mortal Realm to buy supplies. In return, don't forget to buy Dorayaki for Sayo when you buy supplies. ”
Shiratori Ling bowed deeply to her gratefully. Kenichi Gen on the side said, "This reason can only last for one day at most." It's early in the morning, and I have to be back before nightfall today. ”
Shiratori Ling squeezed out a smile, "Don't worry, I only need one day." ”
Iori sighed, "I hope so, or else...... Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. After saying that, she took out an emerald green ring from her bosom and put it on her right hand, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, who told you that only my escort can enter the penal zone?"
"Gen Tianchuan. ”
"Is that him?" Kenichi Minamoto blurted out, "So that's what you said in the garden......"
Shiratori Ling didn't deliberately hide it, "You saw it?"
"Well, I saw you kissing him. ”
"What?" Iori said in surprise, "What kind of plot is this?" "She tried every possible way to give up her dignity to get her brother Xiao back, but in a blink of an eye, she kissed another man, could it be that she was looking for Bai Ma Xiao to completely eradicate this original match? Isn't this Pan Jinlian!
Shiratori Ling smiled bitterly and said, "He asked me to kiss him before he would tell me Brother Xiao's whereabouts." But before I could kiss him, he stopped him, and said something inexplicable, 'It seems that you are indeed not Moli'. After that, he told me the news that Brother Shino had left with Himiko and how to go to the penal colony. ”
"I see...... What the hell is this Genji Gongzi doing...... Iori thought to herself, "But this woman can really endure any humiliation for that white horse shino." ”
Thinking of this, Iori sighed at what love was, and when she saw Kenichi Gen's melancholy eyes looking at Shiratori, she sighed again and stretched out her right hand, "Grab my hand." ”
The two complied, and Shiratori Lingqi said, "Yuan, are you here too?"
"I've got to make sure she doesn't just leave you there. ”
Yi Zhi glanced at him, took a seal in front of him with his left hand, and said in his mouth, "Twenty-eight nights, the north of the non-gui, the four elephants gossip, the old yin and the water, the four seasons and the five elements, the snow and winter are moist, and the Xuanwu appears, turning into sails and masts!"
As the words fell, the Xuanwu ring on her right hand emitted a dazzling green light, enveloping the three of them in this emerald green light.
Xiao Ye beckoned to them, and before she was about to disappear, she smiled and said something brainless, "The golden dragon will bring you good luck." ”
