Swallow Back

Eguchi Sukezaemon's face drooped in disapproval, but he didn't dare to refute.

He was a person from the orthodox ruling class - even if it was only the lowest level of the ruling class, but he still did not want to see a messy person transformed into a samurai.

Of course, if it was at the level of Tokichiro Kinoshita, no matter how humble his background was, outsiders would not dare to say anything.

But this kind of example is one in a thousand. How could the two servants brought from the Kyoto dowry be talented?

Iori saw the doubt in Eguchi Sukezaemon's eyes, and did not explain it, but only sent people to call out two servants from the stable and the kitchen.

One is called "A Qing", tall and strong, and the other is called "A Hei", lean and capable, with bright eyes.

Iori asked them to introduce themselves, and neither of them were stage frightened.

Ah Qing spoke first, and said honestly: "I was tall and strong since I was a child, and I had too much food. The village was always hungry, and I was very hungry all day long, so I went to Kyoto to work as a bodyguard for a few years. I have the opportunity to work at Hanakaiyuan's house. Then I accompany Miss Iori to Sasaki's house."

Then Ahei said politely: "I was originally a monk and soldier in the Kofukuji Temple in Nara, but I was fired because I offended the officials because of my rude words. Fortunately, I was sheltered by the Huakaiyuan family. Miss Zhi is here."

The two of them are thick and thin, and they are both clear and coherent.Abandoning the unkempt face, it is indeed not like ordinary people, but people who have seen the world, and their words and deeds can completely act as samurai.

Eguchi Sukezaemon had nothing to say, sighed a little disappointed, and said to himself: "It turns out that Mrs. Iori has such a person as her dowry, and such a person is actually a servant of the Hanakai-in family... No Are you saying that all the ministers in Kyoto have declined?"

However, when Liu Yun saw "A Qing" and "A Hei", a strange color flashed in his eyes that was difficult to detect.After listening to the two people's account of their life experience, I already had a scruple in my heart, but I didn't say it, and immediately said: "You two are good, prepare well today, and go to Hengshan City with me tomorrow. If you are competent, you will be given knowledge and deeds when you come back, and you will be officially included. door wall."

Chapter 8 Qingtianfang and Kurotianfang

The next night, Liu Yun and Mrs. Iori still slept peacefully through the curtain.

This time, the mood is not so nervous, and the thoughts are not so divergent.It's not just because I've been born twice, but I want to understand the truth and my belief is stronger.

I am a traveler from the era of civilization. If I am really anxious and hurried, it is a sudden beauty, and it is too vulgar, how can I live in my heart?

Just go with the flow.

After all, I will talk about it later, and it will be a long time to come.

In the future, the sun and the moon will be like shuttles.

After all, one day is just around the corner.

When you think about it this way, you don't have to worry about it.

Besides, there are other things to think about at night, and I can't care about my mind.

Self-learning martial arts is successful, Liu Yun's ability to control his body is getting stronger and stronger.Even when half asleep and half awake, as long as it is intentional, it can still maintain a keen sense of the surrounding.

He vaguely heard Mrs. Iori lying down and sighing softly, and the taste of regret seemed to be a little bit higher than last night.

But maybe it's an illusion.

This is not important.

At the end of midnight, Liu Yun opened his eyes as if he had an alarm clock in his body.

Then he immediately turned over with the Nodachi beside him, and walked out of the door quietly.

……

In order to prevent accidents, the four corners of "Sasaki Pavilion", according to the rules, the lantern torches must be always on.

It's just that, for a long time, I haven't really encountered a test, and my defenses have gradually loosened.

In the northeast corner tonight, two figures appeared.

There were also whispered discussions.

"This is a bit unexpected! Madam Iori wants me to become a samurai, but what should I do?"

"Calm down. We can't leave the Sasaki Pavilion rashly, but we have to have a reason to refuse."

"What reason can you think of? That Lord Liuyun doesn't seem to be easy to fool!"

"So it can't be a complete lie, it needs to be half-truth and half-false, you and I must be reasonably explained..."

The night talkers, one tall and strong, the other thin and capable, are exactly what Mrs. Iori introduced during the day, and the two can act as the servants who have nothing to do, A Qing and A Hei.

They were whispering and discussing something in a low voice, but suddenly there was another person in front of them.

Both of them were shocked and looked at each other, not knowing what to say or how to react.

It was Liu Yun who came.

He stroked the handle of the knife and smiled softly: "How did the two monsters become the servants of the Kyoto Huakaiyuan family, and they lived here for several years with Iori? What's the motive?"

The voice fell, and the two people on the opposite side - or should I say the two demons - looked even more nervous.

Ah Qing smirked and touched the back of his head: "Are you talking about me? My parents are not monsters, and I'm not a monster either."

Ah Hei shrank his body and lowered his head to hide the master's face: "Lord Liuyun is joking, how can you be a monster?"

Liu Yun frowned and looked up at the sky: "I'm all too familiar with the aura of monsters, so I can't be wrong. What are your plans, please clarify, otherwise, you can only ask questions with swords."

The two - no, two demons - had nothing to say, looked at each other, and suddenly they both bullied them with great tacit understanding.

Ah Qing stretched out his stout arms like a giant bear, roared and swooped in front of him, posing for a grapple.

Ah Hei's footsteps were as agile as a civet cat, he quickly flashed to the side and pulled out the rope, as if to attack from behind.

Liu Yun's expression did not change, he lifted his breath a little, reached out his hand and did not draw the knife, but held the sheath and made a force shot.

Ah Qing attacked aggressively, and his skills were much stronger than ordinary people, but he was still a bit slower. He was hit right in the face, and suddenly couldn't bear the strength.

Ah Hei swung out the rope like an arm finger, thinking that he was going to tie the opponent's hands and feet, but he was hit in the chest first, and then he fell upside down, groaned "um", and rolled a few times while clutching his ribs.

The two demons were repelled.

Liu Yun sighed and stood still.

The two monsters, A Qing and A Hei, are obviously much more powerful than the Hayami Seibei from yesterday.

Although they are all cleaned up in one move, yesterday was a no-brainer.Today, the effort is equivalent to blowing several mouthfuls of dust.

Judging from Liu Yun's years of combat experience, the monsters who can make him play to this level are no longer weak.

But the opponent doesn't know it!

Those two monsters probably used to have high self-esteem, but now they were beaten to death by a mediocre monk who just returned to the world. They were dumbfounded, as if they had seen something shocking.

Ah Qing's reaction was a little quicker, her eyes widened and she raised her hands hurriedly: "Sir, wait a minute, we are indeed the monsters who have sneaked in, but we don't have bad intentions!"

Then Ah Hei gritted his teeth and reluctantly stood up to help: "Lord Liuyun, Ming Jian, I have never done any evil in the past. Just now, I dared to attack you, and I didn't use any troops. I just tried to stop you, and I didn't mean to hurt anyone."

"If it's not like this, you're probably already..." Liu Yun lazily put the knife to his side, snorted, and asked, "So what are the details of the two of you, you can tell the truth now!"

The two demons exchanged eye contact again, and finally "Ah Hei" said helplessly: "Lord Zhiliuyun, we are the monsters of Kyoto, my original name is Heitianfang, and this 'Aqing' is Qingtianfang. I The two were entrusted by their seniors to come to take care of Mrs. Iori, so they first sneaked into the Hanakai-in house, and then tried to find a way to come to the Sasaki house."

Hearing this, Liu Yun became suspicious, and asked again, "You said that you were entrusted by the senior monster? But what is the relationship between Mrs. Iori and the senior monster? Why did you take care of this?"

Ah Hei - it should be said to be Kuroda Fang - said again: "Mrs. Iori's father is the direct descendant of the Huakaiyuan family, but her mother is the daughter of the senior monster, and the two died ten years ago. When I heard the bad news of my daughter and son-in-law, I was very angry, but I couldn't intervene in person for the time being, so I entrusted the two of us with secret protection."

Liu Yun's brows eased a little, and the doubts did not disappear: "What is the origin of the monster senior you are talking about?"

Kurodafang showed bitterness, and shook his head: "Your Excellency and Ah Qing drank the 'Hundred Ghost Tea' from the senior monster, and received favors, and the monster power increased, but the price was to protect Mrs. Iori until she died, and Do not reveal the secret of that senior within 20 years. If you break your oath, you will be annihilated immediately."

This sounded incredible, but Liu Yun could feel it, and the other party didn't say anything wrong, so he looked a little calmer, and then asked: "So, Mrs. Iori should have half of the monster blood in her body, why can't I feel it at all?"

Kuro Tianfang shook his head and said, "I heard from the seniors that it was the secret technique that was used at birth that concealed Mrs. Iori's monster bloodline. But what kind of secret technique is, I don't know anything about it."

Liu Yun nodded, smiled and said warmly: "Although it sounds very bizarre, I can feel that you are not lying."

Heitianfang Wen Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and bowed to salute: "Lord Liuyun's eyes are like torches, how can you talk nonsense?"

Qingtianfang also nodded along with a smile: "Lord Liuyun is so powerful, we and Ah Hei would not dare to lie in front of you!"

"Haha..." Liu Yun smiled, then suddenly withdrew his smile, and said solemnly: "However, not telling lies does not mean telling the whole truth. A truly brilliant liar is not a lie to deceive, but a lie. It is misleading with one-sided truth."

The two demons suddenly became nervous.

Kuro Tianfang bit his head and said, "I don't know how I can show my sincerity and make you feel at ease?"

"Well..." Liu Yun shrugged his shoulders, then suddenly relaxed and smiled, leaving his serious emotions behind: "There is no reason to doubt you, you need to continue to observe. Just as I said yesterday. , the two of you temporarily acted as warriors and followed me."

"This..." The two demons suddenly grimaced.

Kuro Tianfang hesitated for a while, then explained carefully: "Just now before you arrived, I was discussing this matter with A Qing. After all, the duty of the two of us here is to protect Mrs. Iori secretly. If you leave home with you If anything happens..."

"There's no need to worry about this." Liu Yun shook his head calmly: "This place is considered safe for now, and my uncle and junior brother are accustomed to martial arts, so they may not be weaker than the two of them. They can stay."

This is from sincerity.

In the past two days, Liuyun has roughly inspected the vicinity. Except for the two people of unknown origin, Qingtianfang and Heitianfang, he really did not find any dangerous factors.

Probably as Eguchi Sukezaemon said, the Oda family is very trustworthy in maintaining law and order.

Qingtianfang and Heitianfang listened, and their expressions were ugly.

Liu Yun's uncle is the old monk Xinghe, and his back is already a little hunched.His junior brother, the little monk Suifeng, was still underage.

The two monks didn't look like they were capable at all, but it was really unconvincing to say "not necessarily weaker than the two."

But the two demons were easily defeated by someone, and they didn't dare to disobey, so they could only hold back in their hearts and cast a pitiful look of pleading.

Seeing this, Liuyun pretended to think, and pretended to give in, "Since you are so worried, then okay, Heitianfang will stay, and Qingtianfang will join me in the formation."

The two demons breathed a sigh of relief, and although they didn't agree immediately, their faces were not so sad.

Chapter 9 claims to win thousands of people

After cleaning up the two monsters, Liu Yun went to sleep.

As for whether Qingtianfang and Heitianfang can rest in peace, that depends on their own xinxing.

By the way, do monsters need to sleep?

Because Liu Yun's combat experience is almost all about killing the enemy with one blow, and he has never entered the fighting stage, he did not know the physiological characteristics of the monster before.

The next day, it was probably necessary.

At least Qingtianfang and Heitianfang are needed.

The two demons looked a little sluggish, their breath was low, and they were obviously not getting enough rest.

According to the previous agreement, let the tall and sturdy Qingtianfang take up the sword and spear, bring the bow and arrow, and act as a samurai entourage as a "servant A Qing".

It's just that this guy is too tall, and it's hard to find armor that fits his body, so he can only wear a temporarily modified Wu suit.

In addition, five ordinary young men were found. As peasants and soldiers, their main responsibilities were to wave the flag and cheer and serve.

Especially in this age where information is not available and communication is limited, the position of holding a flag is indispensable. Otherwise, if you meet someone on the road, the other party will not know whether you are an enemy or a friend.
