Because Qingyun's behavior was so strange that Jiutiao Shaluo began to wonder if he had heard it wrong just now.

"What did you just say? Can you repeat it?"

"I said, I actually care about you. Is there any problem with this sentence?"

"Hmm... Heh! The situation in the shogunate is very good, and there is no need for you, a prisoner, to care about it. Save your leisure time and think more about whether you should continue to obey the orders of the people in the Coral Palace."

After being slightly surprised, Jiujo Shaluo slowly closed his eyes, then hugged his chest and straightened his waist to preach.

It can be seen that she really hopes that Qingyun can put aside the previous suspicions and join the shogunate to serve the general.

However, Qingyun is not so easy to persuade.

"Hey, hey, I don't need to care about it. Your one-third of an acre of land was barely worth it, but now it's full of smog, so why don't you reflect on it?"

"Why? You don't have to ask. It's all because of the appearance of the rebels. It is precisely because of this group of rebellious officials and thieves that those who are not firm in their will have the courage to try to disobey the general's will."

Very well, it seems that this woman has no idea at all.

Qingyun sat slumped on the pile of straw, staring at Jiutiao Saluo without changing his expression.

That's right, after all, she is completely unaware of the extent to which her Patriarch has been bewildered.

It feels like it's not just her, but most of the people in the shogunate are just blindly obeying General Raiden's orders.

However, the devout ones don't know that the so-called general has already gone through iterations, and the general who lives in the castle tower is just a self-discipline puppet.

The real general Lei Dian has already pinned his consciousness on Wuxiang's knife, and he has gone to pursue the so-called eternity in the pure land of one heart.

"At the end of the day, none of you think eye hunting is wrong, do you?"

"This is necessary for the general to practice eternity. We mortals should not ponder the wisdom of the general, we just need to practice it and fight on the front line."

Jiujo Shaluo folded his hands, although his tone was still cold, but for some reason, he slowly opened those bright eyes...

"Everything should be like this, but... I don't know if your lord general will be deceived or deceived by others. If the enemy is those wild people, sea chaos ghosts, or Qiuqiu people, then I will naturally not have any hesitation, But these days . . . the people I meet are almost invariably Inazuma."

"Well, it's really interesting. I thought you were a fool, but now it seems that you at least have some ideas."

"If this is a compliment, then I will accept it. Back to the topic, are you determined to disobey the eye hunting order?"

"It's not disobedience, but subversion. I haven't received her favor, and it's just because I'm in the way."

"So, you have made up your mind to disobey the general yourself?"

Qingyun didn't continue to answer, but just lay quietly on the pile of straw, responding to Kujosara's questioning with wordless silence.

Sometimes no words are worth a thousand words.

At least his steadfastness of will was conveyed to Kujosara unreservedly.

Seeing that surrender has become empty talk, the shogunate seems to have let go of the small thoughts in his heart.

She flicked her hair covering her forehead, then slowly approached the wall on the other side of the prison, and sat down quietly with her back against the wall.

"The tengu's duty is to protect the mountains and forests, and the Kujo family's mission is to protect the rice wife, and there is no difference."

"Why are you telling me this?" Qingyun replied abruptly.

"Let's just think of it as the soliloquy of a defeated general. In fact, sometimes I wonder whether everything I do is protecting Dao's wife?"

"Who do you ask me to ask? Let me tell you, you are helping your general demolish his hometown."

"I hate what you say, but when you think about it, it seems to make sense."

Seeing that Jiutiao Shaluo did not sing against the tune, Qingyun became interested.

"Oh? Do you understand me?"

In the depths of the prison, which was so dark that it was difficult for the light to shine everywhere, the thoughts of both sides resounded from time to time.

Kujo Sharo closed his eyes, talking freely without hesitation, as if he wanted to express all the doubts he had had for many years.

Because she was so focused, Qingyun's transformation cooldown time was up, and she didn't even have any doubts.

Even before leaving, the woman didn't turn her head to look at the cell.

"Soon, we will meet again. At that time, you must not hold back, otherwise you will be the one who loses."

After leaving such a sentence that can be said to be beyond her control, she left the deepest cell of the prison in such a grandiose manner...

...

Time is passing by little by little.

During the time he was in custody, Qing Yun practiced wielding a sword in his cell almost every day.

Although this improvement is not enough compared to the enhancement obtained by spending resources, it is the only way for him to pass the time and calm his inner excitement.

Many days of practicing sword swing kept him in a state of extreme mental tension until the night before the jailer came to inform him that the duel in front of the imperial court was about to start.

He rested on the pile of straw with peace of mind, recalling the accumulation of experience in these days.

Strange to say, it was obviously just a simple swing of the sword.

But after waving for several days in a row, Qingyun inexplicably felt that his own strength had improved a lot.

The reason for this feeling may be because of the increasing number of imitation Fengnan's state.

All in all, after a few days of preparation, the gate of the prison finally opened slowly.

"Let's go, the duel is ready, go meet your destiny, unknown wild wanderer."

After speaking, the jailer who opened the door with a long bunch of keys slowly moved out of the way.

Looking at the open cell door, Qing Yun felt a little excited in his heart for a moment.

"A duel in front of the imperial court? Here I come."

Without the slightest hesitation, Qing Yun, who was wearing a sharp long knife around his waist, stepped forward abruptly and left the cell.

Under the escort of the shogunate samurai on both sides of the road, and under the watchful eyes of many prisoners in the shogunate prison.

Like a god of war in his own hands, he calmly left the prison in the direction he came from.

As soon as he came out, the warm sunshine sprinkled on his face, which was slightly dazzling but reassuring.

"He's out!"

"Is that him? Another warrior who dares to challenge the executor of the Eye Hunting Order?"

"I feel that this aura is really different...It's too similar to that warrior, but he seems to be less tragic about going to death. There's more... arrogant complacency?"

At this moment, the outside of the cell was almost full of residents of Inazuma City,

For the duel before the imperial court, they are full of curiosity and fear.

As for the participants in the imperial duel, Qingyun.

They are full of doubts.

"Complacency? This is not complacency, but self-confidence without fear."

Qingyun silently designated the type of element immunity as thunder attribute immunity, and then moved towards the castle tower with firm eyes.

Not long after preparing to witness the power of Wuxiang's knife...

Chapter 49 Before gods and idols, duelists display their prowess.

The imperial duel is an ancient tradition that has existed since the establishment of the shogunate.

The duelists show their bravery in front of the god-like General Raiden, the winner wins glory, and the loser faces Wuxiang's sword.

The location of today's duel is in front of the statue with thousands of hands and hundreds of eyes.

Both sides of the road leading to the statue were full of residents of Daozuma City. Some of them were hawkers setting up stalls, some were farmers nearby, and some were children of families in the city.

All kinds of people gathered here, intending to witness the scenery of the desperate fighters.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a man dressed as a ronin walked slowly, escorted by the soldiers of the shogunate.

He has an easy-going expression and steady movements. He doesn't look like a person being escorted at all, but rather a person with lofty ideals.

Seeing his calm reaction, the onlookers speculated.

"Could it be another person who came to die for remonstrance?"

"Unfortunately, it still looks very young."

"I really don't understand, as long as you return the God's Eye to the general, you can live in peace, why do you still..."

The residents of Daozuma City expressed their admiration for Qingyun's courage, but for his rebellious heart, these comfort-loving residents more or less showed an incomprehensible attitude.

Of course, Qingyun didn't expect to get their understanding or approval.

There is always a need for someone to move forward amid questioning and doubtful eyes.

"Huh? That man in the cloak...is that Ying?"

Qingyun turned his head and found a familiar figure in the crowd. Although she was wearing an old cloak, the short golden hair that was exposed outside the hood clearly revealed that she was a traveler in a foreign land. identity of.

At this time, she was hidden in the crowd. Although she didn't raise her eyes, she could vaguely see a dignified and graceful white-haired girl waiting by the side.

"Shenli? Did you hear the news that I was arrested when passing by the Shenli Mansion, so you brought her here? Not bad, Ying, it seems that you really regard me as a partner."

Qingyun beckoned to Ying, and then, under his worried eyes, slowly moved towards the image of thousands of hands and eyes.

In the eyes of others, he is a brave man who risked his life to speak out, and the road he stepped on was nothing but the execution road leading to death.

But in his own view, this is just the only way to victory.

At the end of the long journey, he finally came to the platform in front of the statue in full view.

At this very moment, General Lei Dian, the noble person in charge of Dao's wife, was standing quietly in front of the statue. When Qingyun arrived, she turned her head and glanced back silently, and then continued to admire the inlaid God's Eye giant statue.

It seems that to her, Qingyun's existence is far less dazzling than those stolen God's Eyes...

"You came?"

On the platform below the statue, Jiujo Shaluo had been waiting for a long time.

As a participant in the duel, her presence is indispensable.

Next, she will show her bravery in front of the general, and practice her eternal loyalty by herself.

The shogunate warriors in charge of escorting Qingyun then dispersed, leaving the venue to each other.

At this time, a slightly salty sea breeze blew past, and the cool and warm wind eroded the platform.

It gently scraped the ends of the hair on both sides, the hem of the clothes, and...the cold-glowed weapons.

"Yes, here I am."

"Then the duel may begin. General, do you think so?"

Facing Kujo Sharo's question, General Raiden, standing in front of the statue, didn't even bother to answer.

She just waved her hand slowly, signaling that the duel could begin.

Seeing this situation, Jiutiao Shaluo was not dissatisfied, but slowly took off the bow on his back.

"I haven't seen you in a few days. Let me see if you have been imprisoned for so long, and you still have the strength to defeat me!"

Saying that, Jiutiao Shaluo raised his hand and shot a few quick arrows.

The sharp arrows pierced the air, and the murderous buzzer instantly made the atmosphere tense.

As the attack was approaching, it was impossible for Qingyun to sit still and wait for death, so he immediately pulled out the saber from his waist and swung it forcefully:

"How do you take the initiative? Just come!"

With the appearance of the wind wall formed by the gathering of gusts, those deadly arrows were completely blocked.

Such magical skills undoubtedly aroused the amazement of the audience present.

However, Jiutiao Shaluo, who had already seen the power of the wind wall, did not choose to sit still. She took action in just a split second, and began to rely on the powerful lightning strikes and superb bow shooting skills to constantly switch between different directions. , launched a fierce attack towards Qingyun.

The tengu, known for its agility, is like a ghost at this moment, and its speed is so fast that it even produces afterimages.

"Master Kutiao Shaluo is so desperate?!"

"It seems that this duel will soon be decided, the strength of the shogun is—!"

"Look! That ronin...when did he put on his battle suit?!"

With the appearance of the steel battle suit, the onlookers present were dumbfounded.

That red and gold mixed battle suit really doesn't look like a product of this era.
