Chapter 150 The Former Master of the Candlestick Cut
Night has fallen.
The Red Leaf House was quiet, and everyone walked carefully, for fear of making any loud noises that would catch the boss' eyes. Even the guests who came to the door today restrained themselves and confined their laughter to the room, because the atmosphere outside was too depressing. .
"...My sister stayed next door for half a moment before someone called us," said one of the girls following Oboro, "it's no different from usual."
"Did she say anything when she came back?"
"No."
"... Oboro bought it from Mutsu. I haven't been out of Yoshiwara's gate since I was six years old. Where did the lover come from?" the man with a face hidden in the darkness said coldly, "Have you ever seen it? You all know the consequences of her concealment."
"It's true that I haven't seen it!" The two girls hurriedly fell on the ground, "It's the first time I've seen a real person since I stayed with my sister."
"Real?"
"My sister often draws a picture recently, and we only found out today that it was him."
"Since when?"
"Probably more than a year." One of the girls replied, "Last autumn."
The other girl seemed to be thinking of something, with a trace of uncertainty on her face, which was noticed by the man.
"Go on," the man said, "Be careful at ordinary times, and go to mother immediately if you have something to say."
The two girls let out a sigh of relief and ran out the door.
The man didn't leave the room. After a while, one of the girls walked in carefully, and bit her lip when she saw the man didn't look surprised.
"Today, I saw the family crest on that guest," she whispered, "Last year, my sister got a kimono from a businessman. It is very precious. I kept it away so that we could not move. The same pattern was embroidered on that dress." .”
She still remembered the dreamy gradient purple, the unique luster of silk rendered the whole dress with a hazy precious light, and the wisteria flowers on it would change patterns with the light as if they were real, like petals. Stop falling.
There is also the family crest embroidered on the chest like a samurai, which even she recognizes. The five-petal papaya pattern of the Oda family is exactly the same as the dark pattern on the guest today.
She used a pen and paper to trace the pattern in her memory and sent it to the boss.
The man looked at it several times, but did not find the same pattern in his memory, but his eyes in the dark were staring at the paper with surprise.
Hasebe received the Snow Rabbit given to him by the God Judge.
Different from the smiling Qingjiang rabbit, this is a rabbit with freshly blooming wisteria flowers as its ears. When running, the wisteria flowers will not fall off even if it flickers. It is said that the living species is called lop-eared rabbit.
Then he was laughed at by Tsurumaru for being childish.
What do you know, think about putting the rabbit on your shoulders with a knife, in that situation, only saying this kind of request can divert the Lord's attention, nothing else is as effective.
Slowly figuring out the habits of the judges, Dao Dao gave Bai He a very disdainful look.
And with this rabbit, you can communicate with the Lord at any time. How can a snow rabbit in the ordinary sense be compared?
Regardless of whether Tsurumaru knew about the additional use of the snow rabbit, anyway, at night, he also carried a rabbit on his shoulder and started to wander around.
"Mr. Crane, dinner... no, supper will be ready soon," Candlestick quickly grabbed Bai He, "Where are you going?"
"It's so boring, Xiaoguang," Bai He leaned on his arm half dead, "It's too boring to stay in this small yard all the time. I have to go out and find fresh scaring supplies!"
The banquet probably ended when it was dark, and the possible reason was that the paying guests had long since disappeared, and only the entertainers left after finishing the show, but the girls at the banquet were chattering happily Happy, it is rare to have a lively place where they can relax and enjoy without flattery.
"It's getting so dark," Candlestick couldn't help but smile, but what he said was very realistic, "Even if you go out, Mr. He has nowhere to go, right?"
...This is also a particularly annoying point.
Jingmo left after finishing the snow bunny, and the Zhulan Bridge that crossed the vestibule disappeared in an instant, and he didn't know which direction to go if he wanted to chase after him.
This is a new way to distract me?
Tsurumaru poked the little thing with wings on his shoulder indignantly, but soon turned his eyes to Candlestick Kiri: "Since it's already dark, how about we go to that courtyard to see? Maybe we can find them Uncaught snakes..."
"No."
Hasebe, who quietly appeared behind Tsurumaru, interrupted him expressionlessly: "The Lord told me specifically to take good care of you, especially not to let you wander around in Yoshihara, and he will come back at midnight."
"Just me?" Tsurumaru asked him in disbelief.
"Only you," Hasebe reached out and grabbed his hood and walked into the room, "Three Riyue and the others are short of someone to play cards, you can come with me now."
"...Hasebe, are you blaming me for abandoning you? Obviously, I am also a victim like you."
"……You think too much."
Candlestick looked at the back of them leaving and smiled thoughtfully. Are you coming back in the middle of the night?
He turned around and went to the kitchen that had been sealed off and no outsiders were allowed to enter. The Shikigami stayed in their positions quietly, waiting for his next arrangement.
"Just do it." Candlestick cut glanced at the prepared food, nodded casually and said, the judge is not there, there is no need to prepare anything else, the taste of the companions has not changed as before, this is enough.
Instead of having the energy to prepare, do something else.
The shikigami immediately started the follow-up work proficiently. Candlesticks folded their arms and looked at the door for a while, then walked to their room. Before going out, they had to make some preparations.
Although Tai Dao didn't know the reason for the sudden disappearance of the god judge at this time, but looking at the saber he left for himself before leaving, he preferred to understand this as a silent thoughtfulness.
"you again."
Sitting in the dark house, halo spoke coldly.
A dark figure came out from the corner hidden in the shadow of the moonlight. It was a tall man with a strange mask on his face. He bowed his lips politely.
"Your Majesty, please stay safe."
"Has your wound healed yet?" the woman asked disdainfully, her pupils flashed with inorganic light.
"Otherwise, how dare you appear in front of you again?" The man said with a good temper, "But I came this time to bring good news to Mr. Obscure."
The woman looked at the courtyard in front of her unmoved, as if she was waiting for someone. She had maintained this posture since the afternoon, and she was cold-faced to everyone who came to pry her mind, and she could not see that she was The frantic look in front of Hasebe.
The man didn't take it seriously, but just pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket, which was the one with Hasebe's sword pattern on it, and slowly unfolded it for her to see: "It's news about him."
As soon as the pattern appeared in its entirety, he felt a gust of cold wind blowing against his face, and Mr. Yu, who was kneeling on the tatami just now, had already reached out and snatched the paper. The movement was so fast that even though he had been prepared, he still couldn't react in time.
This was also the case with the last injury. Although the opponent's strength was mediocre, his speed was extremely fast, and his posture was not at all a human way of exerting force, so he was hard to guard against.
In any case, I had an experience once. The man kept his calm expression very well, and just continued: "I know everything about the person you are looking for, as long as you tell me what you know, you can exchange it. This request is not too much .”
Obscure pressed the piece of paper to his chest, lowered his head as if he didn't hear what he was saying.
"I won't tell others," the man took a half step back, "You can still keep the value of the information in exchange with the boss—I can also say something first."
"He's called Yakiri Hasebe, and it's the same name as Oda Nobunaga's favorite knife." A trace of sarcasm and coldness flashed in the man's eyes, "If you want to stay by his side, there is a key point that must be resolved."
He raised his head hazyly, but the man stopped talking.
"... Kira Uenosuke conspired with the general's side servants, and wanted to use the fire to assassinate the general in order to replace the next general," Oboro said happily after a little hesitation, "Shomosuke already knew about this matter, but the insider The details are unknown, and I have key names."
... Fortunately, there is still the possibility of correction, otherwise, if history really moves forward in this direction, I will never be able to go back.
"Do you know the reason for Yoshio Kira's sudden death?" The man asked casually while thinking about it. The Ako incident is also a key point. Compared with the last time he came here, this is the only major change that has occurred in history. But in the hazy state, he already felt that there was no need to ask more questions.
"People who are in the way." Lu whispered, and then stared at the man closely, begging in a commanding tone, "Please tell me what you know, or I will not be able to sleep that night."
"His master," the man rolled his eyes and said with a slight schadenfreude, "as long as his master is around, it is impossible for you to stay by his side. If you want to get him, you must first find a way to solve it." Get over this difficulty, I wish you success, Oboro-kun, I hope I won't see you here again next time."
He grasped his sleeves tightly, watching the man disappear into the darkness again, the water ripples on the hem of his clothes glowed with faint blue phosphorescent light in the night.
With the happy mood of bringing misfortune to the east, the man jumped out from the low wall of the courtyard, and his movements were very skillful-the retrograde army can't do persuasion work, and he is still required to go out in person in many cases, so the basic quality of detection and escape is still there. .
After this wall is turned over, it is a quiet dead-end alley. Even during the day, no one will pass by, but as long as you turn two corners, you will find a lively street, where you can blend in with the crowd and get away calmly.
However, before the smile on his lips fell, the sharp blade pointed at the back of his neck, and the cold air pierced through his clothes relentlessly, reminding him that this was a murder weapon that had really seen blood.
"Good evening, please don't make unnecessary movements." Tai Dao, who had been leaning against the courtyard wall and waited for a long time, held the sword firmly in his hand, "If you can't finish what you want to say because one arm was cut off, then It's a pity too."
The man's hands in his arms froze for a moment, and he could only slowly raise his hands and turn his head.
"Candlestick cut Guangzhong, is this how you treated your former master?"
"In my memory, my former master was not you," Tachi replied without blinking an eye, "You can't be called handsome when you talk nonsense out of fear."
"Although I'm not the one to wake you up," the man looked at the Taidao in front of him, with that annoying look on his face again—as if everything was under control, "but without me, you Wouldn't appear in this world, isn't this more important than the person who provides spiritual power?"
Taidao looked down at him from above, that golden pupil looked unpredictable under the moonlight, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
"Shizheng has easily attracted a group of outstanding talents like you without much effort. It is only natural that we will be moved," the man said while observing Taidao's expression, "Not all spiritual power users are attracted by them. Brainwashing is successful, we also have people with such qualifications, so I proposed this plan, hoping to absorb Fu Sangshen who agrees with our philosophy into our team."
"And you are the knife I chose for the first time," the man relaxed, and said casually like a friend chatting, "It is because of your reluctance that I resonated with you. It was originally a sharp weapon for fighting, but because people Self-righteous stupid idea and locked in the warehouse, so that the body is burned, let alone slashing, even the appearance is unrecognizable. For the sword, this is equivalent to losing all meaning of existence, you think so, right? That's why you care so much about your actual combat ability and good appearance—after all, if you don't burn yourself, that's what you should look like."
"In fact, I am looking forward to your birth very much. The candlestick that can change the past, avoid disasters, and is still known as a famous sword, which makes people all over the world adore Guangzhong, instead of being placed with imitations and letting people lament the impermanence of the world. Ugly and embarrassing..."
"Let me interrupt," Taidao's hand moved slightly, leaving a very thin line of blood on the man's neck, "I think that when talking, it is the basic etiquette to be honest and discuss things as they are. According to the development you said, I Why was it brought back to Honmaru on the battlefield?"
"We haven't been able to fully crack the tricks of current affairs," the man said kindly. "Although we have successfully awakened you, we have not been able to make you appear. It would be too pitiful if we just left them like this, and we can't return you in the usual way." Shizheng, those people are too suspicious, so... the battlefield is a good place to meet, just like your companions, right?"
...Little Fox Ball.
Candlestick Kiri lowered his eyes and thought of the big fox who was always carefree in Honmaru, and perhaps the closest to melancholy in his life was how he persuaded the disobedient Crescent Moon.
"This is the least way we can come up with that will not affect you," the man who was good at trying to figure out people's hearts finally saw the effect he wanted on the other party's face, and he made up his mind, "After all, with the style of current affairs, we Once this news is released, it should cause a wave of purges—until now, they don’t know why there is your body in the place where the retrograde army gathers.”
Deliberately confusing the concept, as if all the knives picked up from the battlefield were arranged by them, the man gently pushed the knife on the side of his neck away, although this action made him add some blood, but he pretended not to worry about it. I don’t care about finishing the last words: "I know you will understand what I said, the pursuit of better is human instinct, even playing games will read back and forth to want a perfect ending, history revision just makes us a better version of ourselves , just like you before it burned down."
The man waited for a while, but when he didn't hear an answer, he waved his hands triumphantly and walked towards the busy street. Of course, once he was out of Fu Sangshen's sight, he quickly opened his protective measures and fled.
Taidao stood there holding the knife for a minute or two, then sheathed the knife with a bang, and left.
... The old man is still so good at talking, it always makes people feel unsatisfied, and can't bear to end here.
The figure of the appraiser emerged from the silent alley, squatting from his shoulders to his fingertips in a row of snow rabbits made out of boredom, with all kinds of ears, he shook his sleeves lightly, the group The snow rabbit bounced and scattered into the shadows.
The author has something to say: Zongmufu: The inspector of the daimyo or the Gao family (yes, that inspector!), can also be said to be the head of the shogunate intelligence
This chapter is the life experience of Candlestick Chee (?), our old friend who is very good at selling Amway has appeared again
In fact, the appraiser really appreciates his level of speaking in a way of subverting concepts, so he never ended him simply.
The last foreshadowing of the full text is the prelude. As for the handsomeness that Mi Jiang always emphasizes, I am thinking that he is actually very concerned about the darkness of his being burned. After all, all the beautiful clothes have been burned, and they can’t be cut... In the usual voice Always emphasizes that he is a "practical knife" and "handsome"
However, he is polarized!I will write again later!
