"You...... How dare you come back?"

After a long time, the woman's heart calmed down, but her face was still a little worried and scared.

"Komachi, I'm ......" Izumi Kuno had thought about the situation when they met before he came, but he couldn't say a thousand words in his heart. Then I heard the woman shout, "Hurry up, I don't want to see you, I don't want to see you in my life." ”

And the four words "I miss you so much" that Jiuye Izumi finally held back were instantly stuck in his throat like fish bones, and he couldn't spit it out or swallow it. Seeing the tears in the woman's eyes, she involuntarily rushed forward and hugged the woman.

At this time, the woman could no longer control it, and tears welled up in her eyes. It's just that she still struggled to push Jiuye Spring away: "Why did you come back, Master, you will die if he knows about it." ”

"Komachi, I, I miss you so much, since I left the shrine, I've been thinking about you day and night. As long as I can see you again, what if I let Master kill me?" Jiu Yequan felt the tremor of the woman's body, and couldn't help but hug it tighter.

"I won't leave this time when I come back......" Kuno Izumi looked at the woman whose makeup was blurred by tears and comforted.

The woman seemed to be frightened by his words, and pushed Jiuye Spring away heavily. "Senior brother, you better go, I'm someone else's wife after all. If you don't leave, someone will find out......" Before she finished speaking, Kuno Izumi also seemed to be irritated by her sentence of someone else's wife.

"Edo Kojiro, he's dead......" Jiuno Quan's voice was a little louder, "You should have married me in the first place, it's the master who is biased, obviously the person you love is me!"

The woman's expression suddenly turned pale after hearing this.

"You...... How do you know he's dead...... You killed him?"

Seeing that she had misunderstood, Jiuye Izumi hurriedly said: "Komachi, I didn't kill him, he couldn't think of committing suicide by himself." ”

"He, why can't he think about it, and didn't you all be expelled from the palace by the master at that time, how do you know that he committed suicide. The woman's eyes were misty, and she didn't seem to dare to believe Jiuye Quan's words anymore.

"Komachi, you have to believe me, it wasn't me who killed him, or even he wanted to kill me. Kuno Izumi was full of expression, and his tone was sincere: "Since I was driven down the mountain by my master, I didn't dare to stay in the Kashimaura area, so I went to Mito Castle of the Edo family to settle down first. ”

Speaking of this, he paused and looked at the woman and said slowly: "I don't know, how did he follow me and find me, and even have to fight me to the death." To tell you the truth, although I hate him, how dare I kill him, after all, he is a fellow disciple for many years. ”

He saw that the woman seemed to be a little unconvinced, and hurriedly said: "At that time, I had just been expelled from the palace by my master, and if it weren't for Komachi's help in interceding, I would have died a long time ago, so where would I dare to do anything with him, not to mention that the military general in Mito Castle, Edo Kazuaki, is still his uncle." ”

The woman believed a little, "But how could he kill himself?"

Jiuye Spring wanted to speak and stopped.

The woman looked at him like this, her face turned three points pale, and her delicate body trembled, "He...... Does he know about that night?"

Jiuye Quan didn't dare to deceive, so he had to nod.

Seeing Jiuye Izumi nodding, the woman couldn't help but feel weak, and instantly sat down on the ground. Izumi Kuno called "Komachi ......" and was about to step forward to help her, when the woman screamed, "You...... Don't come here......" After speaking, the whole person was like crazy, took off the hairpin from his head, pointed to the white neck and said, "You go...... It turned out that I hurt him......" his voice choked up, almost breaking down.

"It's all my fault, I shouldn't have drunk too much sake that night...... If it weren't for that night, you wouldn't have been expelled from the palace, senior brother, he ...... He won't die ...... either."

"Komachi...... You put down the hairpin, it's not your fault, it's only the master's partiality, Edo Kojiro is a samurai from Edo, I'm just an orphan he picked up......" Kuno Izumi tried to get closer to her while comforting the woman.

But he had barely taken a step when the woman cried out, "You go...... It's all my fault, I'm a shameless prodigal woman......"

Kuno Izumi couldn't help but be secretly anxious when he saw the woman's expression becoming more and more crazy, and when he was about to forcibly stop the woman, there was a sound of footsteps from under the attic. A slightly anxious voice also came: "Little sister, what's wrong with you?"

It's not good, it's Hikoshichiro.

Without waiting for Kuno Izumi to rush out from the side, Hikoshichiro had already gone up to the attic.

"It's you...... You still dare to come back!" Hikoshiro saw Kuno Izumi as soon as he went upstairs, "No wonder, it turns out that the Heavenly Dynasty Sword Saint was brought by you!" As early as a few months ago, he received a letter from his father's registered disciple Kitabatake, saying that Kuno Izumi followed the Heavenly Dynasty Sword Saint, and maybe he would come to the door to provoke.

At that time, he was still a little disdainful of the so-called Heavenly Dynasty Sword Saint, and he knew that no matter how unwise Jiuye Quan was, he would not bring that Heavenly Dynasty Sword Saint to the shrine to make trouble, after all, other people didn't know how powerful his father was, and Jiuye Spring could not be clear.

"I should have expected that you let the Heavenly Dynasty Sword Saint come here just to drag my father so that I could take the opportunity to take away my little sister......" Before he finished speaking, he saw the woman holding the hairpin against his neck, and couldn't help but be even more angry: "Jiuye Quan, you brute! Why is this, you want to force my little sister to die, you are willing to stop!"

But he was distracted for a moment and didn't notice the woman's almost collapsed look, so he angrily drew his sword and slashed towards Jiuye Spring.

"It's not like that......"

Kuno Izumi didn't have time to explain, because although Hikoshichiro's kendo talent was not particularly good, after all, he was the son-in-law of the sword saint Tsukahara Buchuan, and he had been learning swords for decades, and his swordsmanship was not inferior to Kuno Izumi by a few points. What's more, this time with anger, the fierceness of the swordsmanship has increased by three percent.

If Kuno Izumi is in pain, Hikoshiro is afraid that it will be difficult to resist, but at this time, he has already been confused because of the woman's intention to kill himself, where dare he face Hikoshiro's sword blade!

Hikoshiro was unforgiving, and he also jumped down, and the sword in his hand slashed at the head of Jiuye Spring!

Jiuye Quan was worried that the woman had no other way for a while, so he had to pull out the sword on his waist, like a cloud across Qinling, and held the sword horizontally with both hands to hold Yan Qilang's powerful sword.

The two are both disciples of the Sword Saint Tsukahara Buchuan, and they have fought hundreds of times over the decades, and each is familiar with the other's swordsmanship. If it is an ordinary competition, Kuno Izumi is not sure that he can beat Hikoshichiro within a hundred moves. But if there is a fight between life and death, he still has a chance to kill Hikoshiro in a short time.

It's just that Hikoshiro wants to kill him at this time, but where does he dare to kill Hikoshiro, his master Sword Saint Tsukahara Buden is still here. Although he knew that Bai Yujing went to the Kashima Shrine, with his master's character, he would definitely avenge the Kasuga Taisha Shrine's Sawahito Priest, and the two of them would be up to the top nine times out of ten and decide to live and die.

But who wins and who loses, he really doesn't know!

But if you don't kill the killer, what if Komachi commits suicide?

When Jiuye Spring was in a dilemma, the woman in the attic staggered to her feet, walked to the back compartment of the studio, and took out a jade flute. This is Edo Kojiro's jade flute, and she still remembers the wedding night, Edo Kojiro played music for her, and she sang a beautiful ballad.

She secretly vowed to let go of her senior brother completely in her heart that night, but when she heard that Jiuye Spring was drunk every day, she couldn't help but worry, and her heart was always a little sour. That night, if she hadn't drunk with Jiuyequan, I'm afraid everything would have been different, right?

I hurt them......

The woman picked up the paper-cutting knife from the drawing table and slashed it towards her wrist, instantly staining the entire jade flute red with blood.

At the same time, Bai Yukyo and Tsukahara Bu passed out of the deer park and headed all the way to the back mountain.

Kashima Jingu Shrine is a steep cliff with jagged trees scattered among the rocks. Toda Segen and Kitahara Chiaki watched Bai Yukyo and Tsukahara Buden gradually move away, their steps were obviously not fast, but it seemed as if the end of the world was close at hand, and the mountain trail slipped backwards in an instant with their steps.

The two of them each performed light skills, but they chased farther and farther, and they couldn't see Bai Yujing and the others for a few breaths.
