Swallow Back

I always feel a little weird that I want to go out for an adventure with Oda Nobunaga's wife. If there is any risk, the follow-up impact may be extremely serious!

Immediately thought of another reason to evade: "Look, Mrs. Ning Ning has suffered such a big blow and just needs your comfort, so it's inconvenient for you to go out at this moment."

Mrs. Gui Die nodded her head after hearing this, her attitude softened a little, but she shook her head and argued: "The Changgang area is only half a day away from Laoshen's place, so you can go back as soon as you go, it won't take much time. Ning Although Ning has encountered unimaginable things, her mind has always been as firm as a rock, and she will not be short-sighted because of this."

At this moment, Ning Ning, who had been silent by the side, also took two steps closer, showing a forced smile: "Don't worry, you two. The concubine just needs a few days to relax a little."

Mrs. Gui Die immediately agreed: "It's just a trip to Changgang, at most two days, and I will return."

Liu Yun saw that this reason was not enough, so he had to tell the truth: "The so-called 'one-eyed lord' sounds like he has some skills. When I go this time, I probably want to fight with him. If Mrs. Gui Die Getting involved in the chaos of war and being injured unfortunately, that can’t be taken care of.”

This is what he really thinks.

Not to mention that the status of the family is very noble, the son of a daughter can't sit down.

Even if it is an ordinary person, there is no need to take this irrelevant risk.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Gui Die was displeased when she heard this, she threw her sleeves and said angrily: "Master Liuyun, why did you say that? You think that I am a mentally handicapped woman with no strength to restrain a chicken, and going with you would be a burden ?"

Liu Yun smiled without saying a word.

Although the meaning is a bit different, it is not impossible for the other party to understand it this way.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Gui Die had to be serious now, and said very seriously: "I have been learning various fighting skills from my father since I was a child, and I have been practicing diligently for decades. Although I dare not say Compared with Master Liuyun, the 'No. [-] warrior in the world', I don't think it will be a drag."

It was only then that Liu Yun realized that what he said just now might have hurt the self-esteem of the "dominant female president".

This was a big mistake.

However, the words that are spoken are hard to be taken back, and I don't know how to get them back for a while.

Mrs. Gui Die held the hilt of the sword, stared at it blankly, and said solemnly: "Master Liu Yun, you might as well try it out with the old man, and then draw a conclusion."

Liu Yun tried to give in: "How about just treating it as my unintentional mistake? There is no need to be so persistent."

Mrs. Gui Die remained silent for a moment, but still did not give up, she thought of a different way: "How about it! If Mr. Liu Yun insists on not going with the old man... then you and I may as well go to Nagaoka separately and have a look. Who can solve the problem of the 'one-eyed lord' can be considered a competition."

Liu Yun was completely helpless.Sighing: "It's better to go together... That's all, I agree to go with my wife."

Madam Gui Die then showed a smile, nodded and said, "Thank you, Chengquan..."

"But there is a condition." Liu Yun interrupted suddenly.

Mrs. Gui Die looked disapproving, but she also took a step back at this time, lowering her head to accept the condition: "Please speak."

Liu Yun thought about his words for a while, and said straightforwardly: "The condition is... Madam, can you change the way you call yourself in the future? At least in front of me, please don't use the word 'old body' anymore. I don't see that you have any Which point is considered 'old', I have always felt very awkward."

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Gui Die was stunned for a long time, then blinked her eyes again, showing a very complicated expression on her face, she waited for a long time before nodding her head and chuckling and said: "Okay, in front of Mr. Liuyun from now on, Just change the way you call yourself."

At this time, Ning Ning next to him seemed to have temporarily forgotten his thoughts, and looked up at Liu Yun and then at Gui Die, with subtle emotions in the corners of his eyes.

Chapter 152 About Mrs. Guidie's Self-proclaimed Question

The "Haeinji Ruins" mentioned by "Mr. Enuma" is located in Nagaoka Township, Otsun County, Yamashiro State, about [-] kilometers southwest of Kyoto.

Both Liuyun and Mrs. Guidie are not slow-tempered people, so they set off immediately and hurriedly, and it only took half an hour to go on the road.

This place briefly existed as the capital of Fuso 700 years ago, but now it is completely rural, with no trace of a city in the past.There are not even commemorative ruins, because the corresponding projects were completely demolished as early as when the capital was moved, and used for the construction of the new capital - Heianjing.

Now there are only five small villages scattered on it, with a total of more than [-] households. The palace city, official residences, houses, and streets in the past have all become rice fields.

The current Nagaoka area, because it is in the middle of the longitude and latitude of Fuso, has a mild climate and four distinct seasons, and there will be no extreme cold and heat.In addition, the flat terrain is good for reclamation, and it is surrounded by two small rivers, the Koizumi River and the Obata River. The water resources are quite rich, and it can be described as a high-yield area that is very suitable for farming.

Looking around, he saw that the fields were flat and the houses were in good condition, presumably they had not been disturbed by too much war.

Occasionally, there are common people walking on the road, most of them have no obvious look of hunger on their faces, and their clothes are old but not patched much.

So Liu Yun couldn't help feeling emotional: "The lord here can be called a virtuous person!"

Mrs. Gui Die heard this, and said disapprovingly: "As far as I know, this place was originally the leader of Gongqing Yingsi's family, and was later rewarded by the Ashikaga family to a branch of the Hosokawa family. No matter the former or the latter, both He is just a weak lord with a noble family background but no power to control his subordinates, and he is helpless against the 'Xuncun' organization formed by the people, how can we see the talents coming?"

"That's how it is." Liu Yun was stunned when he heard the words, and then explained with this train of thought: "Because the lord is weak, the 'Xun Village' organization formed by the people has a high degree of autonomy and can avoid excessive exploitation. It’s a good time to get up, at least the level of food, clothing and worry-free.”

After saying this, Madam Gui Die received surprised and curious eyes.

Liu Yun was puzzled: "Is there anything wrong with this statement?"

Mrs. Gui Die shook her head: "There is nothing wrong with it. It's just that I have never seen any warriors. When I come to a strange place, I will be like you. I will first pay attention to the food and clothing of the people, rather than things related to armaments."

Liu Yun was speechless, and after a while he said with a little self-mockery: "It's probably because I left the secular world and became a warrior last year. I was just a monk before."

Mrs. Gui Die smiled for no reason, but she still shook her head in denial: "No! Every time the monk goes to a place, the first thing he cares about is what kind of sect the local people follow and whether they are devout or not, and then see if he has any teaching experience. Take advantage of this opportunity."

Liu Yun sighed: "It seems that I was never a qualified monk."

Mrs. Gui Die was suddenly very interested. She looked up and paced back and forth for a while, then said: "As far as I know, the person who cares most about people's food and clothing is a disciple of Yixiangzong. They are happy because it is easy to instigate; on the other hand, they are disappointed when they see the land is abundant and the people's livelihood is happy, because it is difficult to profit from it."

Liu Yun heard the words and sighed: "The people of Fusang are really in a lot of trouble."

Mrs. Gui Die laughed again after hearing this, and said sarcastically, "Could it be that Master Liu Yun, based on what he saw and heard just now, suddenly gave birth to the ambition to calm the troubled times, help the world, and benefit the people?"

Liu Yun ignored the other party's teasing, but responded dullly: "There are two poems in the Tang Dynasty, which are not widely circulated in Fusang. The general idea is that no matter whether the country is strong or weak, the people are also in suffering."

Mrs. Gui Die fell into deep thought when she heard the words: "Why is there such a saying?"

Liu Yun sighed softly, with a slightly desolate tone: "You can understand by comparing the current situation of Fusang. A strong daimyo can guarantee safety, but requires high annual tribute and labor. On the contrary, those weak lords who are unable to exploit the people will have no If you protect the territory with power, you can only sit back and watch the people being looted by foreign enemies or harassed by monsters."

"So that's how it is..." Mrs. Gui Die was thoughtful: "I have seen so-called 'heroes' and 'famous monks and great virtues' in my life, but I have never heard of such a truth."

Liu Yun shook his head and smiled, put these heavy emotions behind him, changed the subject and said, "Madam, the promise you made before you came has been violated several times in a row."

"Old body's promise?" Mrs. Guidie was taken aback.

When she realized that she said "no longer use 'Old Body' as a self-proclaimed matter", she realized that she had violated it again unconsciously.

The domineering female president's aura was immediately broken, and she was a little embarrassed and panicked. She pretended to cough a few times, and said calmly: "My concubine...it was my concubine's oversight. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, just now must be the last time."

Congratulations, Mrs. Gui Die, who is still in her 30s, has finally stopped using the offensive word "old body".

Liu Yungang felt a little relieved, but at the same time felt another sense of disobedience.

Thinking about it carefully, the self-proclaimed "concubine body" seems to be a modest and respectful language reserved for upper-class women. It has an elegant and classic meaning, but it also implies that they consider themselves weak and willing to be inferior.

Therefore, Yizhi is very suitable for use, and his sister-in-law Shaluo is barely suitable, and a noble lady like Ningning who comes from a humble background but has reached a high position is also good.

However, for Mrs. Guidie, the domineering female president...

Hmm... It's like the shot of Hua Mulan and Mu Guiying taking off her war robe and putting on a skirt hairpin to embroider in her boudoir.

But Liu Yun only thought about it for a while, and didn't intend to say anything.

She had asked her to change her original self-proclaimed name with an excuse, if she said it was still wrong and had to change it at this time... that would be unreasonable.

You are not someone else, why do you interfere so much?

So be it.

……

The "Ruins of Haeinsa Temple" mentioned by "Mr. Enuma" is not difficult to find.

Several small villages on the plain can be seen at a glance, only one is far away from the houses and farmland, which is self-contained and very conspicuous.

After saying a few gossips, Liu Yun and Gui Die walked in front of them.

Judging from the area occupied by the ruins, it should have been a large Buddhist temple with a length and width of more than [-] meters.

But now it was just a blackened ruin, rotting on the mud.

Probably due to the fact that it is mainly made of wood, the skeleton structure of the building has almost been completely lost, and the remaining piles are full of ashes.

At first glance, it was completely silent, and it felt like no creature had been infested for a long time, and it really didn't look like someone or a monster stayed behind to guard it.

There are no traces of human activities, nor any surge of monster energy.

However, Mrs. Guidie has full confidence in that "Mr. Jiangmao", and advises Liuyun not to doubt it.

Liuyun still looked around on his own, then nodded, and said to himself: "Since this temple was burned down during the Yingren Rebellion, it has been a hundred years ago, but there are no birds in the ruins. It is reasonable to say that there are monsters left to guard the filthy things left by beasts.”

Mrs. Gui Die glanced at it, and said, "Unexpectedly, you are a meticulous person. Then, according to what I just said, destroy it here, make some noise, and attract the left-behind monsters to show up!"

"The problem is..." Liu Yun touched his chin and thought: "This place is already in ruins, how can we destroy it?"

Chapter 153 The monster guarding the ruins of the famous temple

Mrs. Guidie drew out her long knife and slashed around randomly, trying to attract the monsters guarding the ruins to show up.

The sharp blade in her hand was extremely sharp, and she moved her hands and feet like a butcher dispelling an ox, easily cutting the burnt black ruins into pieces.

but--

After receiving the knife, it feels like nothing has changed.

It was originally a ruin, but after you cut it into pieces, it just turned into finer ruins. It seems that there is no "destruction".

It only caused dust to fly in vain, and the dust filled the air.

The promised "monster guarding the ruins" did not intervene.

Mrs. Gui Die frowned and thought for a while, then decided that there was no way out, and then took out the flint she carried with her, intending to set the pile of ruins on fire.

However, I tried a few times without success.

Probably because of the wind and rain, it has been soaked for a long time.

Mrs. Gui Die was a little troubled, she frowned and said to herself: "It's already ruins, how can we destroy it?"

Liu Yun couldn't think of a way for a moment.

What can we do?

Diversion submerged?Horichi Sanchi?Stoned and smashed?

They are all huge projects, and they cannot be completed with just a few gestures.

Since there are no filthy traces of birds and beasts on the ruins, it means that most of them have been taken care of, and the theory of left behind monsters is worthy of acceptance.

The question is how to draw it out?

and many more……

The filthy traces of bird and beast haunting...

Liuyun had a clever move, and thoughtfully, he said to Mrs. Gui Die: "I have thought of a way to lure the left-behind monster to come out, but I just need you to avoid it, Madam."

Mrs. Gui Die wondered: "What is the solution? Why do you need an old body...cough cough...why do you need a concubine to avoid it?"

Liu Yun suddenly looked a little embarrassed: "This method is a bit vulgar, I am really embarrassed to say it."
