Kojiro smiled bitterly and said, "Then I don't know what the girl's high opinion is? See. Wool, Chinese net"

Miyuki said: "I don't dare to talk about military affairs. But my master, Prince Keihito, has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, and if he makes a move, he will definitely be able to force Tokugawa Keiki to send troops!"

Kojiro said, "Having said that, we can't contact the prince, so naturally we can't ask him for help." ”

"What if ......" Miyuki hesitated, "what if I knew?" Kojiro-kun, Li-kun, if I concealed His Highness's whereabouts, would you blame me?"

Li Yan and Kojiro glanced at each other and said in unison: "Of course not!"

Miyuki said: "I'm relieved to say that. In fact, before leaving, His Highness left me and Sister Nanase half a piece of spiritual jade each, saying that when the situation was at its most critical, we could combine this jade and know his hiding place. When I saw that everyone was so worried, I wondered if it was time to ask the prince to go out of the mountain?"

Kojiro said, "Miyuki girl, now is the most critical moment. If Tokugawa rejoices if it is consumed, not only will the great cause of the curtain be ruined, but even His Majesty will be in danger. So Kojiro begs you to go and ask His Highness Keihito for help, please!"

Miyuki said: "Kojiro-kun, Miyuki understands. I'm going to Osaka to find Nanase Sister. But...... But it's best to ask Li Yanjun to come with me. ”

Li Yan said: "Okay, I can't help with the march and battle, I'll be responsible for the safety of Meixue girl." ”

Miyuki's face suddenly flushed, and she hurriedly turned around and said, "Without further ado, let's go right away." ”

The two immediately found a clipper boat and rushed to Osaka Castle by water. Osaka is located at the heart of the land and sea, and it is extremely bustling and lively, and it is also the old camp of the Tokugawa family. The fact that the shogunate has been standing for 300 years has a lot to do with the strong support of the people of Osaka.

The two of them first went to the Shichiho Temple of Inuming Mountain, and Miyuki said that there were two wings by virtue of her status as a shrine maiden. Legend has it that this place was built by the ancestor of the Fuso Yin and Yang family, Xiao Jiao, and its status was noble, and the shogunate did not dare to search it easily.

Miyuki pulled out a red paper crane from her bosom. When the wind flickered, it fluttered its wings and flew up. Miyuki said, "Go find Sister Nanase." The paper crane seemed to understand her words, and flew down the mountain in half a circle.

Li Yan asked, "Miss Miyuki, is that girl named Nanase also the maid of His Royal Highness Keihito?"

"Well, yes. Miyuki said as she looked at the shadow of the crane. "Nanase's sister is named Tsukisada. Unlike me, she is of aristocratic descent. The spells are better than mine, the work is more sophisticated than mine, and the beauty is much more beautiful than mine. With her help, I will definitely be able to find His Highness soon. ”

Li Yan nodded and said, "That's the best." ”

At this time, the wind suddenly rose, and Miyuki's long hair fluttered in the wind. Miyuki turned her back to Li Yan, gently swept her temples and asked, "Li Jun's family...... Who are they?"

Li Yan said: "There are Yan Xin Yan Gongzi, my master Liu Banxian, and ...... And Zhi'er. ”

"Zhi'er...... It sounds like a girl......, right? Is it your wife?"

Li Yan shook his head and said, "No." She's just a good friend I've been playing with since I was a kid. My master always wants to match the two of us, but for some reason Zhi'er doesn't seem to be very willing. ”

"That'...... Would you like to?"

Li Yan had never thought about this problem, he was stunned for a moment, and whispered to himself: "I...... Would I like to?"

At this time, I heard someone outside calling, "Miyuki, Miyuki! Are you there?"

Miyuki turned her head and said, "Sister Nanase is here, let's pick her up." ”

The two of them came to the front hall and suddenly saw another shrine maiden. She's about the same height as Miyuki, she seems to be a little older, and she also wears a normal style shrine maiden costume. The difference is that she carries a longbow on her back and has a heroic posture. A face is as beautiful as a peach but as cold as frost.

In terms of appearance alone, Miyuki is already a beauty that can make people shine, but this girl is even better, and her facial features are so delicate that she can't find the slightest fault. But Miyuki has a gentle temperament and is amiable, and she is better than this girl.

Miyuki said, "My little sister has seen Sister Nanase. ”

Nanase saw that there was someone beside her, and asked vigilantly, "Who is this person?"

"Sister, this is Li Yanjun of Daliang, who came to rescue the prince. Miyuki said with her head bowed.

Nanase frowned: "Li Yan, is it the person who slashed Suzhen of Tennoji and defeated the three swordsmen of the Mibu Group?"

"Exactly. ”

Nanase looked at Li Yan for a long time, snorted and said, "If he likes to follow, follow it." "I didn't say a word to Li Yan from beginning to end.

Miyuki quietly made an apologetic gesture to Li Zhan, and Li Yan followed.

The three of them came to an ancient spring in the temple, and Nanase and Miyuki each took half a jade pendant and put it into the spring. I saw a clear light, and the jade pendant merged into one, reflecting some reflections on the water surface like a mirror.

I saw a man in Chinese clothes walking alone on the long mountain road. He reached the top, and the snow was around him. The distant peaks are at your feet, holding up a red sun like a Buddha's hand.

Nanase said: "Although there is only a back, there is no doubt that this person must be His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Miyuki nodded, and then asked, "Does my sister have any clues about this mountain?"

Nanase pondered for a long time, and suddenly said: "I know, this is Mt. Kongo! You see that the peaks in the distance are like Buddha's hands, Osaka Castle is the body of the Buddha, and that mountain is the head of the Buddha!"

Miyuki clapped her hands and said, "Great, we will be able to meet His Royal Highness the Prince soon!"

Nanase shook his head: "It's not that easy. When the master was leaving, he told me that he would lay three 'shikigami' in his hideout. One is to defend against foreign enemies, and the other is to take the school exam. During this time, we traveled from place to place, and we did not practice spells diligently, so we were afraid that it would be difficult to deal with them. ”

Miyuki said: "Now Tokugawa Keiki is stationed in Toba, but it is not triggered. The great cause of the curtain is in danger. Sister Nanase, whether it succeeds or not, we have to go on this trip. ”

Nanase pondered for a moment and said, "Okay." She looked at Li Yan again, "Bring this brute with you, he has brute strength, maybe it can come in handy." ”

Li Yan smiled and did not argue.

The three of them immediately headed for Mt. Kumgang. But I saw the flying spring roaring, the green trees towering to the sky, and the rocks in the mountain rose up, like the flesh bun on the top of the Buddha's head. The three of them were afraid that the shogunate would check during the day, so they waited until night to quietly go up the mountain.

I had just walked four or five miles of mountain road, and the surroundings suddenly became hot.

At this time, the night is as cool as water, and it can be seen that the heat does not come from the temperature, but from the hearts of the people. The air was filled with restless agitation, as if it would explode with a slight rub.

The three of them were silent, as if they were holding back a nameless fire in their hearts.

Suddenly, Li Yan's feet slipped, and it turned out that he had tripped over a stone. I only heard him say hatefully: "bastard, dare to be the way of the master!" After that, he flew up and kicked the stone out violently, smashing a tree and swaying.

Meixue was suddenly shocked in her heart, and secretly thought: "Although I haven't been with Li Jun for a long time, I know that he is generous and generous, and never speaks ill of people, how can he be angry with a stone?

But Li Yan turned a deaf ear and walked forward in a daze. A pair of eyes were flushed, and two thin white breaths came out of the nostrils.

Miyuki was shocked, turned her head to Nanase and said, "Sister Nanase ......"

But I saw Nanase gritting his teeth and glaring at Li Yan's back, as if he wanted to eat him in one bite. I heard her suddenly speak: "The barbarian surnamed Li, I heard that Sojiro Okita died at your hands?"

Miyuki suddenly realized why Nanase was so hostile to Li Yan.

It turned out that Nanase and Sojiro Okita had admired each other. But then the two had to separate because they were their own masters. But presumably that feeling is still cut, and the reason is still messy. Although Li Zhan did not kill Sojiro directly, Nanase still put the account on his head.

But Li said without replying: "That's right, I killed him." It's as easy as slaughtering a chicken. You know, he was looking at me with a pleading gaze and a gurgling sound coming out of his throat. I ignored him and stabbed ......"

Before the words fell, an ice pick fell from the sky and smashed into the place where Li Yan was standing. Nanase's face was pale, he held a talisman in his hand, and said loudly: "I want to avenge Sojiro today!"

Li Yan laughed wildly: "Then it depends on whether you have the ability to do this!" The spirit runes around Nanase circled, or turned into thunder or turned into hail, and they also approached Li Yan. The two of them showed their abilities and fought in one place.

It's so unusual.

Miyuki already has three points in her heart. She knew that there was no way to persuade the two of them now, so she summoned a large paper crane and flew into the air by herself.

In the air, the entire Mt. Kumgang can be seen. The area where lightning flashed and thundered and purple mist was in the air was, of course, the place where Li Yan and Nanase fought. But in the depths of the woods not far away, there was a flickering fire.

Miyuki didn't hesitate and landed here immediately.

I saw an ugly monster in front of me. It burned like a fiery fireball with an angry, twisted face in the middle. Its gaze was filled with resentment, and it cursed in unknown language.

In front of it, Miyuki only felt that the depression and dissatisfaction that had accumulated in her heart for many years were all rushing out, and she was out of control, and she even fell into a state of rage. She raised her hand and pulled out a spirit rune to hit the monster, but the monster did not dodge, only to see a flash of fire, it seemed to be a few inches larger than before.

Miyuki was startled, and suddenly thought: I heard that in ancient times, there were youkai who fed on people's anger, and the more you attacked it, the more powerful it became. I have to be careful to come up with a way to crack it, and I can't let either Li Jun and Nanase Sister get hurt.

Thinking about it, she calmed her mind and offered a piece of blue rune paper to shake it in the wind. I saw dark clouds gathering in mid-air, and thunder bursting, which was actually the momentum of mountain rain.

It turned out that this was a "rain prayer charm", and a heavy rain could fall in a few moments. Sure enough, after a gust of wind, the rain poured down, as if pouring into the sea.

However, the monster was unmoved, and even stretched more and more, burning the flame of light even stronger. After a few moments, it bared its teeth and claws, mocking Miyuki.
