I, Wang Ha, the Assassin of Three Red Warriors

"I am really honored to be able to travel with Her Highness Zao Nu. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, this old man will ensure the safety of Her Highness Zao Nu."

Yakumo Lan and Tsuchimikado Yasuki thanked each other one after the other, and both expressed their attitudes to Emperor Toba.

Then, the four of Fujiwara Yoricho removed the sound insulation barrier and quickly left, because they were busy preparing things for the trip.

Emperor Toba also lost interest in drinking and having fun, and Yakumo Lan bid farewell to Empress Toba and returned to the bedroom where she lived.

After drinking all the court ladies away, Yakumo Lan carefully checked the next four weeks.

After confirming that no one was watching secretly, he set up a sound-proof enchantment, and called Yakumo Zi through the connection between the master and the shikigami.

Soon.

A pitch-black gap suddenly split open in the room, and Zi Yakumo, who was wearing a Taoist robe and holding a folding fan, was lying on the gap, revealing her figure.

The long golden hair hangs down, and there is a bit of charming laziness in the water-like eyes.

"Lan, why did you call our house all of a sudden? I've been disturbed from my good afternoon nap, haha~~~"

Seeing Yakumo Zi's sleepy eyes, Ba Yuanlan sighed silently in her heart, feeling that her Master Zi was really getting lazy.

In the past, I just liked to hibernate at any rate, but now I am sleepy in spring, tired in summer, napping in autumn, and spend all year round in dreamland.

"Master Zi, I'm really sorry."

Despite the slander in his heart, Yakumo Lan didn't dare to show any disrespect on his face, and bowed his head in salute.

"I just heard a piece of news, and I feel it is extremely important, so I want to report it to Master Zi immediately."

"News? What news? Let's hear it."

Yakumo Zi's eyes were half-closed, as if she would fall asleep in the next second.

Yakumo Lan didn't care about Yakumo Zi's unscrupulous appearance, and reported on her own.

"This matter is related to a place called Lost Bamboo Forest. It is said that there is a guy named Taketori who lives in it..."

Before Yakumo Lan finished the whole thing, he heard a sudden 'plop'.

Zi Yakumo, who was half lying on the gap just now, fell to the ground, still on his face, as if he had been greatly frightened.

"Who did you just say?"

Yakumo Zi got up from the ground with both hands and feet, her eyes were wide open and there was still no sleepiness, her eyes were full of astonishment and shock.

Although I don't know why Master Zi reacted so violently, Yakumo Lan repeated her words honestly, and Yakumo Zi was sure that her ears did not have auditory hallucinations.

"Could it be that he really came back?"

Yakumo Zi rubbed her painful face while muttering to herself.

It is unclear whether Yakumo Lan came to Dongying in the past few hundred years, but she Yakumo Zi was the witness and participant of the Bamboo Tori Story.

Until now, I recalled the ferocious and terrifying figure of the old man of the mountain and that unpretentious black sword...

Yakumo Zidu still has a sense of trembling from the soul, that is a fierce man who can kill Tsukiyo Mito with a single sword.

Back then, even killing big monsters was as effortless as chopping melons and vegetables.

If she hadn't followed her heart decisively at the critical moment, Yakumo Zi felt that she would have become a wisp of dead soul under the great sword long ago.

Although Yakumo Zi's cultivation base has grown a lot in the past few hundred years, she has not grown up to the point where she can compete with the old man of the mountain.

After all, she can't even beat the shameful Yueye Jianzun now.

For Yakumo Zi, the return of the old man of the mountain is definitely not a trivial matter, and it may affect her series of planned plans and calculations.

Thinking of this, Yakumo Zi suppressed the throbbing in her heart, and a solemn expression appeared on her pretty face.

"Lan, now you must repeat the news you just heard verbatim. My original plan... may need to be greatly adjusted!"

Seeing Yakumo Purple's solemn and serious look, Yakumo Blue couldn't help but be stunned.

This was the first time she saw Yakumo Murasaki being so serious, and she seemed to be very afraid of the Taketori Ong.

Yakumo Lan is not a monster born and raised in Japan, nor has he experienced the great turmoil involving humans, monsters and moon people hundreds of years ago. Naturally, he has no understanding of the Mountain Lord.

"Could it be that this so-called Taketori is really a senior who lives in seclusion in the mountains?"

"But even so, it's not worthy of Master Zi's attention. I'm going to start revising the plan just after hearing some unfounded news that hasn't been proven true or false. Is this still Master Zi who stays at home all day and eats too much?"

Although she didn't ask directly, Yakumolan still kept the name Taketori in her heart, and she felt a little curious.

Chapter 457 There is a traitor among us

It took about a quarter of an hour.

Yakumo Lan recounted to Yakumo Zi all the news heard in the lost bamboo forest and the court.

It's true that not a single bit of detail was missed, so Yakumo Zi thoroughly grasped the whole situation.

"Lost Bamboo Forest? I haven't heard of it, Lan, do you know where the exact location is? Those onmyojis shouldn't hide it when they report, right?"

"Master Huizi, although I don't know the exact location, it should be in a very remote area in the deep mountains and old forests to the east."

"East side?"

Yakumo Zi thought about it carefully after hearing the words.

For hundreds of years, she didn't go out very much to avoid the dragon god, but she never relaxed her control over the news of Dongpu.

Thinking about it carefully, nothing major happened in the direction Yakumo Lan mentioned.

However, Yakumo Zi didn't think there was anything wrong with it, because she knew the detached character of the old man of the mountain who was indifferent and unwilling to walk in the world.

"That's right, after all, it's a seclusion. It should be some kind of cover-up formation. That's how the Lost Bamboo Forest was formed."

"Wait, that's not right! If the old man Suzuki is really lost in the bamboo forest, there is no need to set up a formation at all. The bamboo forest has not made any movement for hundreds of years. It is obviously intentional to keep a low profile. It feels like he is avoiding someone... "

Yakumo Zi thought about it, and came back to it a little bit.

Connecting all the things together, even a fool can guess the true identity of the hermit in the Lost Bamboo Forest at this time.

"Princess of the Moon, Mount Kaguya Horai, adopted daughter picked up by old man Suzuki from cutting bamboo."

Yakumo Zi chuckled and said the answer, a schadenfreude smile flashed in her violet eyes.

"Yue Ye Jian Zong Zong hasn't healed, but even so, has he been avoiding the investigation of the Moon Capital?"

Thinking of this, Zi Yakumo couldn't help thinking of another person.

The guy who also contributed to the flames like her in the Bamboo Story incident, and in the end he made a superior move and retreated - Yayi Yonglin.

"Judging from the situation back then, Bayi Yonglin was undoubtedly on the side of Mount Penglai Huiye, so she should be in that bamboo forest at this time, right? If so, it would be difficult to do anything. Well, this woman is not easy to calculate."

"But it is also a good thing to find the traces of the Princess of the Moon. The most important thing now is to confirm whether her father is there or not."

Having had the experience of being snatched last time and almost being hacked to death by the old man of the mountain, Yakumo Zi dared not directly open the gap to Eternal Pavilion.

In the end, his own life is the most important thing, not to mention that it is impolite to come to the door like that.

"Lan, I heard that you are going to travel with the younger generation of the Tuyumen family this time?"

As Yakumo Zi spoke, she turned her eyes to the respectful Yakumo Lan beside her, deciding in her heart the best person to go to thunderstorm for her.

Anyway... Shikigami or something is just for sale.

"Yes, Master Zi."

Yakumo Lan nodded in response, completely unaware of her master's sinister intentions.

"Since this is the case, then our family will give you a task. When you reach the lost bamboo forest, find a way to find out the truth and reality inside. In addition, you should be more careful in your actions, so as not to give away your identity to the onmyoji."

Yakumo Zi handed over the task to Yakumo Lan without changing her expression, and Yakumo Lan accepted it without doubting him.

"Please rest assured and leave it to me, Lord Zi."

After the master and servant finalized a series of responses, Zi Yakumo raised his hand to open the gap and left.

After all, staying in the palace for too long would increase Yakumo Lan's risk of exposure, and the gain outweighed the loss.

Back at the Lost House in the Realm, Yakumo Zi threw herself on the soft bed, and thought about her arrangement carefully.

Although it's not very authentic to cheat her own shikigami, Yakumo Zi didn't completely push Yakumo Lan to death, she wasn't that mean and ungrateful.

With Yakumolan's cautious character, she shouldn't be able to do anything too arrogant and domineering at that time.

Yakumo Zi felt that even if the old man of the mountain was really in the lost bamboo forest, he probably wouldn't just ring the bell to kill Yakumolan.

Similar to the mountain spider who was hacked to death by the old man of the mountain as soon as they met, it was purely self-inflicted, no wonder others.

Besides, Yakumo Purple will definitely pay close attention to the movements in the Lost Bamboo Forest.

As long as there are no terrible bells, even if Yakumo Lan is in danger, he should be able to beg the old man of the mountain to spare his life with some thin face.

"Well, that's it, sleep and sleep..."

outside the palace.

"General Tsuchiyamon, please stay a while. I still have some affairs here to hand over to you."

Fujiwara Yoricho stopped Yasukin Tsuchimikado who came out together, and reached out his hand to take out a stack of official documents from his sleeve pocket.

"Some time ago, the old man received a report from the following, saying that the tax revenue shipped from the four countries was nearly half that of previous years. It was true that the harvest in various places was not good last year, not to mention frequent earthquakes and often accompanied by storms and floods, but the tax revenue from the four countries At least it shouldn't be so ugly."

While Fujiwara Nori Naga was talking, Tsuchimikado Yasichika looked through the various official documents in his hands and carefully thought about the situation in Shikoku.

"Shikoku, I remember last year it was reported that monsters were frequently in trouble, and our Yin Yang Liao also sent a team to eliminate monsters, but there was no news. Later, when it was time to send more forces to go there, a letter from Shikoku suddenly came saying that the monsters had been executed. But our people are all broken."

"Yes, the old man also remembers this incident, but in the future we will rarely receive news from the four countries, so..."

Hearing this, Tsuchimikado Yasukin frowned, he knew that Fujiwara Yoricho seemed to have a bad guess.

"Master Fujiwara, do you think there is something wrong with the news from the Four Kingdoms? But they also sent someone to send the corpse of the monster and the relics of the exorcist."

"The old man is not sure, but the place you are going to this time happens to be in the direction of Shikoku, so you might as well take a look by the way, just in case."

Fujiwara Yoricho is not sure how accurate this judgment is, but with his character, since he has doubts, he must investigate clearly.

"I understand. After the incident in the Lost Bamboo Forest is over, I will send people to the Four Kingdoms to find out."

Tsuchimikado Yasushi agreed in person, and just as Fujiwara Yorimaga said, this matter and this trip can be done as a matter of course, without any effort.

"I remember that the head of the Kamo family handled the Shikoku matter. What do you think, General Secretary Tsuchimikado...?"

"He Mao Zhongxian? Yes, he did it."

This old opponent flashed in Tsuchimikado Taiqin's mind.

He Mao's family used to be the largest family in Yinyang Liao.

Even if it has declined now, its power can still be ranked among the top three in Yin Yang Liao.

And He Mao Zhongxian is the current head of He Mao's family, and he was a powerful candidate who competed with Tu Yumen Taiqin for the general affairs of Yinyang Liao.

It's a pity that He Mao Zhongxian was seriously injured while performing the task of eliminating demons, and even had a few stitches on his head.

After that, a suture mark was left on Tadakori Kamo's forehead, and his temperament became much colder and crueler.

"Patriarch He Mao has acted low-key and diligent all these years, so there should be no problem."

With Tsuchimikado Yasichika's guarantee, Fujiwara Nori Naga's doubts about Kamo Tadakori were temporarily reduced.

"By the way, there is another thing."

Saying that, Fujiwara Yoricaga handed over another official document with a more solemn attitude.

"Recently, strange-shaped corpses have been found in many places in Ping'an capital. They are suspected to be caused by monsters. You'd better dispose of them before you leave, dear dear."

Tsuchimote Yasushi personally understands that compared to the dangers far away in Shikoku, the threat hidden in Heian-kyo is obviously more disturbing.

"A corpse with a strange shape? It really doesn't look like it was done by a human being. Please feel free to hand over this matter to Yin Yang Liao, Fujiwara Qing. This is our duty."

"In that case, please."

After handing over the matter, Fujiwara Yorimaga and Tsuchimikado Taichi said goodbye to each other and parted ways.

Back home, Fujiwara Yoricho wrote a letter quickly, then fed a piece of meat to Xinying, and raised his hand to let it fly.

"I didn't expect the news about the elixir of life to appear, but I don't know if this is the result of the old ancestor she has been searching for..."

On the other side, Taiqin Tsuchimikado returned to the mansion.

He first asked Yuan Hu to go back and hurry up to rest, and then came to a remote courtyard alone.

Knock on the door, push in, bow and salute.
