Li Yan looked around again, and the guests were all looking this way and pointing - this was a bit too ostentatious for a wanted criminal.

Fortunately, a few pine nuts reacted very quickly and said to the diners: "Ladies and gentlemen, this family member of our family has a sudden illness and needs treatment, so the shop needs to close early." Please forgive me for the inconsiderate greeting!

Everyone who comes to dine today is free of charge, and you can get compensation equal to the cost of the meal, thank you for a few pine nuts!"

Before opening the shop, he was a famous geisha, and he was very popular in Kyoto. Again, these words are just right and beyond blame. So the guests said goodbye and left, and most of them did not receive any compensation.

Li Yan had a splitting headache, still a little confused, and struggled to sit up and asked, "What's going on?"

Kojiro said: "Li Jun, you just yelled for no reason, and pulled out your knife and said that you want to kill...... It was this young lady who saved you!"

Li Yan looked at the girl, and saw that her long hair reached her waist, her skin was white and snowy, and her eyes were full of gentle autumn waves. Dressed in a white scarlet skirt, it seems to be the dress of a shrine maiden.

Li Yan said: "Thank you...... This young lady is gone. ”

The girl bowed and said, "The situation was urgent just now, so I didn't have time to introduce myself." In Shimosakuki Miyuki, it's a shrine maiden, please advise!" Her voice was gentle and sweet, and it sounded like a spring breeze.

Kojiro asked, "Did Your Excellency pass by by accident, or did you have to come to us on purpose?"

Sakuragi Miyuki said, "I came here on the orders of my master." Mr. Kojiro, you don't know me, but you've heard my voice many times. ”

Kojiro was stunned for a moment, and carefully distinguished. After a while, he slapped his thigh and said, "You are the girl who passed the word for Prince Jingren?"

Miyuki smiled and nodded.

It turned out that Prince Keihito acted extremely mysteriously, firstly, he never showed his true face, and secondly, he rarely spoke directly to people, and his words were passed down by the two shrine maidens. And these two shrine maidens are always separated by a veil, and very few people know their identities. This time, since she was ordered by the prince, she must have extremely important information.

Kojiro stood up excitedly and said, "Miss Miyuki, is His Royal Highness the Prince okay?"

Miyuki shook her head: "I'm sorry, I don't know about His Highness's condition. He left a letter for me and Sister Nanase and left. However, His Highness told me with great certainty that I would come to help you, and now the fate of Fuso is at a critical turning point, and the slightest mistake will fall into the abyss. Please work together to save our common home from doom! The prince said that only you are the hope of Fuso!"

Kojiro sighed: "Even if you are broken, you have to repay Your Highness's kindness!"

Miyuki said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the current situation is urgent, and we must speed up the alliance with Satsuma, otherwise it will be difficult for the shogunate to take the lead." Moreover, in this war, the enemy is not only on the side of the shogunate, but also on the more terrifying monsters...... His name is Deng Mojun. ”

Li Yan exclaimed in a low voice: "Sure enough, it's him!"

Miyuki said: "Li Jun, I believe you have dealt with him several times. This persona is profound, and he is by no means an idle person.

The prince said that this person was originally a wanderer, who crossed the sea from the Central Plains to Fusang many years ago. At that time, Fuso was in the Warring States period, and the Quartet was disturbed. This Deng Daoist gave full play to his specialty of shaking his lips and tongue, and he actually mixed it up.

Until one day, he met the Dharma incarnation of the Lord of the Six Brahma Demons in Fuso Kingdom, Oda Saburo, and was deeply impressed by its mana, so he exchanged his soul for the power of the Heavenly Demons. ”

Kojiro muttered, "Sengoku ...... Isn't he two or three hundred years old?"

Miyuki said, "Yes. His Royal Highness also said that this person had been in close contact with a Central Plains monk who called himself 'Sick Tiger' in the past ten years. That person is the only person His Royal Highness can't figure out, and if they unite, I'm afraid that Fusang and Daliang will never be at peace. ”

Li Yan and Kojiro looked at each other speechlessly, not thinking that the iron curtain behind this was so huge.

Miyuki continued, "But for now, we should still make the overthrow of the shogunate our first priority...... just as the silver bell on her body suddenly jingled.

Miyuki's face changed: "It's not good, the Mibu group is here." ”

Li Yan rubbed his head and stood up: "You guys withdraw first, and I'll cut it off." ”

But unexpectedly, Meixue said: "Li Jun, I will meet the enemy with you." With that, he took out a pitch-black spell from his waist and muttered a spell.

In an instant, there was a sound on the roof, and a weak swordsman descended from the sky. He was holding the scarlet demon knife "Blood Sakura" in his hand, which was the dead Izo.

Li Yan was shocked: "It turned out that you were helping me that day!"

Kojiro also asked, "This person is Izo?"

Miyuki changed her gentle tone and said sharply: "Mr. Kojiro, please retreat immediately, I will explain other things later." ”

Seeing that the situation was urgent, Kojiro nodded and walked through the back door. Miyuki and Li Yan glanced at each other and came to the door.

After a rustling pause, the Mibu group arrived as scheduled. At the head of the team were none other than the director Yamato Shimazaki, the deputy chief Hayato Hijikata, and the swordsmanship teacher Sojiro Okita.

Director Shimazaki saw the two of them and snorted coldly: "Knowing that we are coming but not running away, the courage is really not small." ”

Miyuki smiled and said, "That day at Qingquan Temple, even if there was only one person, it seemed that it didn't make you feel very happy." ”

The deputy chief of the earthwork said hatefully: "Little girl, it was you who woke up Ezang with witchcraft?"

Miyuki said, "Hijikata-sama, the word 'witchcraft' is too much. The little woman used authentic witchcraft - the Corpse Soul Charm. Many of the Shogunate's lords are more skilled than I am!"

"Little girl, don't be poor. It stands to reason that we Mibui have no right to capture shrine maidens. But now that you are suspected of colluding with traitors, this is not negotiable. It's a pity you're so young......"

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a blood-red sword light. Izo felt the murderous aura and took the lead in attacking. He is neither afraid nor tired, and his cold heart has only one goal, which is to kill all enemies.

All the members of the Mibu group will be surrounded by hiding, but after seeing the red light like rain, the sword wind gusting, and the kung fu of a stick of incense, the team members all fell to the ground silently, and even the swordsmanship genius Okita Sojiro was seriously injured.

He spat out blood and said with a smile: "It's really unwilling, just one person will destroy us all." And the other one with higher martial arts hasn't made a move yet! I said, samurai of the Mibu Gumi, can your pride tolerate this kind of thing?"

The crowd shouted, "I can't bear it!"

"So......" Sojiro said as he stood up, "it's time for the enemy to show our special move!"

The clouds cleared, and a bright moon hung in the sky. Under the light of the moon, the samurai's wounds miraculously healed.

Not only that, but their bodies are starting to change.

First tufts of black hair grew like summer weeds on his face and arms, then his muscles exploded, his fingers turned into claws, and his mouth was covered with fangs.

In the end, the eyes completely lost their humanity, and only two green fires remained.

The unrecognizable Sojiro Okita said, "Don't you like to call us human wolves?" haha...... If you don't really become a wolf, wouldn't you be a little ashamed of it?"

Miyuki was shocked and said, "You guys...... How did it come to this?"

Sojiro smiled sneeringly, and his voice was like a wolf's howl. "Is that so? What's wrong with this? Is there anyone who is only allowed to summon corpses, and not to be like this? Little girl, it is the prerogative of the strong to mock the weak, but unfortunately now you have lost that power. ”

With that, he landed on all fours and flew at him. But suddenly the sword flashed, and a bloody mark erupted on Sojiro's shoulder. I saw Li Yan standing with his knife and said in a deep voice: "If you dare to take another step forward, I will cut off your head." ”

Sojiro didn't get angry but laughed: "What a fast knife, but who is faster than mine? I think I'm going crazy thinking about this question!"

Li Yan said to Meixue: "Let Yizang protect you, and I will deal with them." ”

Miyuki nodded, and offered another spell to summon Jizo back to her side.

Li Zhan said to the samurai of the Mibu group: "In my concept, I always feel that killing people is an unbearable thing. So I tried to control myself. Unless the worst crime is great, I will try to spare my life even if it is an enemy. But ......"

Sojiro stared into his eyes: "But?"

"I don't think there's anything wrong with killing dehumanized monsters. As soon as he finished speaking, the sword was unsheathed, and his limbs flew sideways, and the wolf-like warriors were cut into several pieces by him with a single blow.

Sojiro tried his best to dodge, but his arm was still cut off.

The moonlight was like water, and the limbs of the human wolf slowly returned to their main body, and then healed. Although he was scarred, he still moved freely.

Yet fear is deeply imprinted in the heart. At that moment they knew the pain of death.

I saw Li Yan raise his knife with his back to the moon: "The warm-up is over, now let's get real!"

On the other hand, Kojiro escaped with his life on a street.

The street was strange, there was no sound at all, and you couldn't even hear the barking of dogs.

Suddenly, a carriage rushed towards Kojiro. He was so shocked that he forgot to dodge completely, and he stood still. But strong arms stretched out from the carriage and dragged him to the cart.

Opposite was an extremely burly man, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Kojiro-kun, I should have let the carriage run you to death, my men would have been happy to see that." ”

Kojiro smiled: "If it's usual...... No, even a month ago, you wouldn't hesitate to kill me and ask the shogunate for credit. But now you won't, you want me alive more than anyone else. ”

The moonlight shone into the carriage, revealing a face full of scars. This face has the unique confidence of a man who lives by the sea and is unruly. This is a face that makes the people of Cheongju gnash their teeth and hate it.

Kojiro said, "You're finally willing to see me, Mori Katsumoto." ”
