Chapter 436 The Lord of Wenshui County, Takeda Ryoko

If Ryoko Takeda is not in Xiaoshan, it is very likely that he was forcibly taken back to Takeda's house by his family.

Then the only place where she can be found is the Takeda family residence in Heianjing.

So Li Guanqi and Sophia spent a few more days to return to Heiankyo, and went directly to the residence of Takeda's family house, hoping to find out the whereabouts of Takeda Ryoko.

However, he has a special status. If he went to Takeda's house rashly, it is very likely that his dual identities as a magician and a different blood warrior will be exposed.

So, you have to "ask" someone else to ask for help.

……

……

"Brother, please do something."

Sakura Shogunate, Heian-kyo, in a remote alley in Nancheng District.

A young man in a black robe stopped a middle-aged man in a black and white kendo uniform with a smile on his face.

"Ok?"

The five-element-level alien blood warrior frowned, looked around, looked at the empty alley, and then looked at the black hooded robe on the person in front of him, "Conjurer? What do you want from me?"

"please help me."

The young man in black robe lifted the hood on his head, revealing that ordinary and unfamiliar face, and smiled slightly at the middle-aged warrior.

"Om-"

As soon as he finished speaking, an extremely powerful and majestic soul power that had reached the peak of the sixth rank dissipated, completely enveloping the middle-aged warrior in front of him, constantly affecting his own sanity.

Sixth-order soul hypnotism!

Although this middle-aged strong man is a five-element-level alien blood warrior, his soul is only at the fourth level. Under the strong cover of this sixth-level soul power, he almost didn't hold on for a moment, and fell completely directly.

At this time, he was hypnotized, his expression was in a trance, and he was completely reduced to a marionette.

"Go to Takeda's house."

The young man in black robe... or rather, Li Guanqi looked at the hypnotized middle-aged samurai with an unspeakable ghostly bewitching voice, "Go and ask them if Yoshiko Takeda is at home, you are her friend, if The gate guards ask you to show the token, so you can ask them to bring two words to Takeda Ryoko.

'Cut white'.

If Ryoko Takeda comes out to see you, tell her to go to the Muye Inn thirty miles outside the city, Wang Xiu's personal disciple, and ask her for help.

Regardless of the outcome, whether you met Yoshiko Takeda or not, you have to go home and sleep afterward.

Then when you wake up again, you will forget everything that happened today.

Go for it. "

"Yes."

The middle-aged warrior nodded dully, and passed Li Guanqi. After walking a few steps, his mental state gradually returned to normal.

But in fact, a deep-rooted order has already appeared in his heart.

He didn't know why he did this, but he just wanted to do it from the bottom of his heart-go to Takeda's house and find Takeda Ryoko!

This is the horror of soul hypnotism.

"It is said to be the capital of the country with strict laws, but in fact..."

Li Guanqi looked at the back of the middle-aged warrior leaving, with complicated eyes, "In the worldview of extraordinary power, there are too many ways to commit crimes, and there is no way to stop them. This is this world... the world of extraordinary humans. .”

"Owner?"

On the wall of the alley, a tulip woman with blond hair and golden eyes suddenly appeared, sat on it, swayed her slender legs, and looked at him curiously, "Then what are we doing now?"

"Find a place and see the situation."

Li Guanqi turned around and left.

As he walked towards the end of the alley, he thought for a while.

His current soul strength is lv.69, but the specific value on the system panel is [69.8], which is still 0.1 short. Did not mention it.

In a way, it's just fine.

As for the last 0.01, it should be able to make up for it after I meet the unsightly Five Elements or Liuhe level and kill it.

But that's all for later.

For now, you still have to focus on the immediate matter.

Can the hypnotized alien blood warrior find out the whereabouts of Takeda Yoshiko from Takeda's house?
……

……

"My lord, your plum shochu."

Sakura Shogunate, Heian-kyo, Nancheng District.

On the third floor of a tavern in the streets near Takeda's house, there was a young conjurer in a black robe, sitting by the window, drinking this low-alcohol shochu that tasted almost indistinguishable from a plum drink.

It was Li Guanqi who used the transfiguration technique to disguise himself.

And sitting opposite him was a tulip woman with blond hair and golden pupils——Sophia who drank the transformation potion.

"It seems to be going well."

Sophia looked out the window and said softly.

"Ah."

Li Guanqi nodded, holding a wine glass in his hand, looking out of the window as well.

From this position, he could clearly see the gate of Takeda's house.

At this time, the five-element-level warrior with different blood who was hypnotized by him was standing between the two town house stone lions, talking to the guard of Wutian's house.

In the face of five-element-level warriors with different blood, even the guards of Takeda's house would not bother to talk to them, but communicated with them normally.

Of course, it is impossible for Li Guanqi to go to Wutian's house for questioning.

The spirit-shielding pendant on his body can at most hide the induction of a seven-star magician. In other words, it can only hide the seven-level spirit-detecting magic weapon. identity of the sorcerer.

And the Takeda family, one of the dignified Sakura Nine Warriors, must have a gossip-level spellcaster and an eighth-level magic weapon.

So once Li Guanqi went to Takeda's house, his identity as a five-element-level conjurer might be exposed.

But how can it be exposed?

His identity in front of Ryoko Takeda is Wang Xiu's apprentice, a five-element level warrior with different blood!

In the era of the New Era, a person who possesses five-element-level martial arts and five-element-level conjuration is a special person who created "history", and he doesn't want to get burned.

So just let others go.

"By the way, master, what did you mean by 'cut white'?"

At this moment, Sophia, who was sitting across from him, propped her chin with her right hand, and looked at Li Guanqi curiously, "Why did you say that if that Takeda Yoshiko wanted a token, the guard asked the guard to bring these two words to Takeda Ryoko?"

Although this lioness sometimes does not look like a person who has lived to be 178 years old, her sometimes performance is indeed remarkable.

For example, in the face of the tauren Karl incident, the reasoning about the female tauren Brianna.

Another example is now.

When she mentioned Takeda Yoshiko, she deliberately used the soul to transmit the sound, and used the soul to directly convey the meaning she wanted to express, instead of speaking directly, fearing that the wall has ears.

"It was the name of her sword."

Li Guanqi lowered his head and drank a glass of wine. After a chuckle, he also said with his soul: "My master and the master of that female warrior are a pair of friends who have a mutual affection. Together.

It's just that they each left a knife and a sword, and left a promise of swords to our two second-generation heirs.

Not long before I met you, I went to the appointment, in Xiaoshan where we visited a few days ago.

The collapsed mountain next to me was brought down by Takeda Ryoko and me.

In the end, of course, I won.

Then, Takeda Yoshiko named his saber 'Zhanbai'.

she says,

She followed the teachings of her master, grew up, practiced till now, and has never used external force to break through. She must have the opportunity to comprehend her own 'power'.

Then, after she realizes her own 'potential' in the future, she will come to me for a fight, and use her 'cut white' to defeat me...the white-haired guy, ha, she is a very interesting warrior. "

Speaking of this, Li Guanqi couldn't help smiling.

"Sounds like a nice story."

Sophia put her hands on her cheeks and looked at the blue sky outside the window, with a bit of longing in her eyes, "The second-generation heir to inherit Master's last wish is also a man and a woman.

If they can have mutual affection like the master's generation, or even go further than the master's generation, and if the true lovers finally get married, then this story will really be like the story of the knights in the storytellers of the shogunate. "

"Love is not the only social emotion in the world."

Li Guanqi smiled and shook his head, "Friendship, family affection, and even a casual encounter are also good things, and if you think too much, Takeda Yoshiko and I cannot be like my master and her master.

Me and her weren't even friendships.

Should it be a chance encounter, a casual acquaintance?
Also, I already have a love that belongs to me. In contrast, I hope to get more friendship and meet more good friends. "

"But master, the story between you and her is not over yet."

Suddenly, Sophia looked at the gate of Takeda's house in the distance outside the window, with a half-smile, "Maybe there will be a follow-up."

Li Guanqi also frowned at this moment.

Because they both heard it.

Takeda's house is only a thousand meters away from this tavern, and for a human with different blood at their level, as long as they want, their hearing range can completely cover there.

While Li Guanqi was chatting with Sophia, they were also listening to the conversation between the hypnotized middle-aged samurai and the guard at the gate of Takeda's house a thousand meters away.

And just now, the middle-aged warrior's dialogue has progressed.

The doorman said to him:
"Miss Liangzi? Miss Liangzi did come back two months ago, but she left again not long after she came back. She should be in Wenshui County in Nanhu District now. She was ordered by the Takeda family to go there to serve as the county magistrate. The family task of governing the county."

gone?

Family mission?

Serve as the county head of Wenshui County in Nanhu, the shogunate?
Li Guanqi frowned slightly.

The situation of the Sakura Shogunate is different from that of the Daluo Dynasty.

Even if the surnames of the Eight Kingdoms of Daluo are ready to move, the royal family of the Ying family is still a high-ranking royal family. At least until the death of the current Daluo Shenwu Emperor, the situation will not change.

In the past 3000 years of Guozuo, the Ying family has maintained a strong centralized position for a long time.

The Eight Kingdoms surname is very powerful, but it is a minister after all.

But the Sakura Shogunate is different.

The nine families of the Sakura Kubu are the top nine clans and wealthy families of the Sakura Shogunate. Their brothers have completely emptied the Emperor, that is, the royal family of the Shogunate.

Today's Sakura shogunate is not so much the shogunate of the royal family as it is the shogunate ruled by the nine major families.

Their nine families, using Ping'an capital as a game board, divided up the power and land of the entire country, and in the millennium, a delicate balance has been reached between forces.

Because of this, almost all the officials of the shogunate, especially high-level officials, were from the family of Sakura Jiuwu.

It is precisely because of this phenomenon that the children of the Sakura Jiuwu family usually have a [governance] indicator in the family assessment.

Index determination is simple.

Give you an official to do it and see what you can do with the land under your hands. As for the means, it doesn't matter, what matters is the result.

So, now things are clear.

Ryoko Takeda likes to go outside to play the secluded life of the hermit garden, but her family doesn't let her. What kind of game does a little girl under 30 years old play in the hermit garden...

And Yoshiko Takeda's talent is not bad.

Therefore, the Takeda family no longer tolerated her willfulness, pulled her back into the family, and assigned her a family task, giving her the official position of "Nanhu, Wenshui County, and County Head of the Shogunate".

In the Sakura Shogunate, the county is one level larger than the city. A county will govern multiple cities and manage multiple city owners.

In these places, the county lord is a higher official position than the city lord.

The county head is the local high official in the bureaucratic system of the Sakura shogunate, with enormous power, almost equivalent to the emperor of a county. In the county system, no official can restrict him.

But rights and obligations are corresponding.

The county head has the greatest authority in a county, and because of this, if something goes wrong in the county, the blame will be entirely on the county head alone, and there is no way to push it.

The nature of this official position is perfect for considering the [governance] ability of the family's children.

In fact, with a five-element-level cultivation base, it is more reasonable to be a city lord, but it is not qualified to be a county lord.

What's more, it is even more unreasonable for Takeda Ryoko to be an official by airborne.

But considering the national conditions of the Sakura Shogunate, and the identity and family background of Takeda Yoshiko who was born in the Takeda family, one of the Sakura Nine Wubu, things are very reasonable...

"Let's go."

Li Guanqi drank the remaining plum shochu in the flagon in one gulp, got up and left.

Sophia got up immediately.

The next itinerary is needless to say.

Go to Nanhu Wenshui County and find the county lord Ryoko Takeda!

……

……

The south of the Sakura Shogunate is a large area with a humid climate, with plenty of rain, water and lakes, which is why it has the aliases of "South Lake", "South Lake Territory", and "Shuize Township".

And this time.

In the southern part of Nanhu Territory, in this barren area where the overall economic level is the lowest in the shogunate, in a county called "Wen Shui", a young female county head who has only been in office for two months has fallen into a deep depression. confused.

"Why are more and more people starving to death... Is it all my fault?"

In the county lord's mansion of Wenshui County, Takeda Ryoko, wearing a black official robe, looked at the stacks of county situation reports in front of him, gritted his teeth, and clenched his right hand holding the paper tightly, his fingertips turning blue.

"how so!!"

She suddenly waved her right hand and threw countless papers away, then she lay down on the table with her head sullen, her shoulders trembling slightly, and she seemed to cry for a while.

"My lord, someone is asking to see you outside."

Suddenly, a guard's announcement came from outside the door.

"Who?!"

Takeda Ryoko didn't raise his head, but said in a muffled voice, "I'll see you if there's nothing important!"

"The person who came was a tall man with white hair and blue eyes, and there was a tulip woman beside him. None of the subordinates could see their cultivation."

The voice of the guard outside the door sounded again, "Also, that man asked me to give you a message to the county lord—the 'Bai' who is going to be cut by 'cut white' is here, don't you welcome me?"

"Ok?"

Takeda Ryoko raised his head, slightly taken aback.

Cut white white?

Senior Wang Xiu's apprentice?
That white-haired man named Li Guanqi?

Why is he here……

"Um, let him in."

Takeda Ryoko said something towards the door, then stood up from her seat, looked at the messy papers scattered on the ground around her, then walked to the corner of the room, and looked at the mirror.

In the mirror, she was wearing a black and embroidered robe of the magistrate of the county magistrate, unkempt, unwashed for several days, her hair was messy, she was not beautiful at all, not even decent. On the road, he was even a little embarrassed, with a terrible appearance of being beaten up several times by life.

"never mind."

Takeda Ryoko thought for a while, but still put aside the idea of ​​dressing up.

I'm too lazy to dress up, so what should I do?

"Squeak-"

The redwood door was slowly pushed open.

A tall figure with white hair and blue pupils, wearing a luxurious white robe, appeared in the bright sunshine, and the cheerful smile on his face was even brighter than the sunshine.

"Forehead……"

But the next moment, the smile became a little stiff.

The one who came was naturally Li Guanqi.

He did not use the transformation technique, but used the original appearance.

Because when he went to Xiaoshan to attend the appointment of swords, he used his original appearance—after all, there was a martial arts competition, and the power of different blood was fully activated.

So now that Li Guanqi came to see Ryoko Takeda, there was no need to change his appearance.

At this moment, he is not only in the world with his original appearance, but even specially dressed up, bought a nice dress in Ping'an capital, and then came to Wenshui County by teleportation array.

Because Ryoko Takeda is half an old friend anyway.

Coming to meet an old friend who became a high official... Li Guanqi had to admit that it was indeed his modern thinking that caused the trouble. He always felt that when he came to meet an old friend who became a high official, he should dress decently, otherwise he might feel a little "ashamed" "What.

however.

He is decent, but unexpectedly, Takeda Yoshiko in front of him is not half as decent as a high official.

The official robes on her body are wrinkled, unkempt, and her hairstyle is uncombed. Her thick and fluffy long hair is loose, like a female ghost, and her mental state is extremely poor. She looks miserable, as if she has been 996 for a month It's like a worker.

"Takeda, how are you?"

Li Guanqi couldn't help being a little stunned, "I've only heard of people being exploited after becoming an official, why do you look like you're being exploited when you become the head of the county?"

　Thank you for Qiu Ye's unlimited rewards, thank you for your support
