Age of Heroes, ten consecutive guarantees

There is a house in Qili City outside Huangquan Front Line.

This house may be quite special. It either belongs to a powerful person or to an important person.

But at this time it was empty, there was no one left, the ground was in a mess, leaving traces of escape, dry mountains and rivers were trampled and there were footprints everywhere.

Minami Shiori, who was leaning in the corner of the quiet room, suddenly opened her eyes and held the handle of the knife.

She felt a chill.

Yesterday, she left the warehouse.

Because there is no point in staying there anymore.

People are dead.

It was the result of the underworld demons rushing in when she went out to search for food and water.

The timing was too coincidental. When she came back, everyone would be dead and a mess would be left behind.

Wandering on the street, she found a survivor who was seriously injured. The man couldn't survive, but he still told her one thing.

Those demons and ghosts were brought in artificially.

And their goal...

It’s Minami Shiori.

So she found a place to hide and decided to hide until the end of the underworld.

As an extraordinary person, even if he doesn't eat, drink or sleep, he won't die, he will just be slightly weak.

She quietly hid in a secret room in this house, eliminating traces and scents, so theoretically she would not be found.

However, the sudden chill made her feel uncomfortable.

The temperature in the room began to drop.

And the source...came from the window that quietly opened a crack.

It seemed that it had been blown open by the wind, and just a ray of moonlight came through and fell in front of her.

Wait, moonlight?

Has the fog outside cleared?

She subconsciously stretched out her fingers to gently catch this ray of light.

But the next moment, the chill almost solidified, leaving a layer of frost in the palm of her hand.

She withdrew her right hand as fast as lightning, and at the same time pushed open the trap door with her back, escaped from the quiet room, and was ready to evacuate and move to the next place.

Then she suddenly stopped and looked into the courtyard.

The messy dry landscape is still there. The ground is paved with fine sand and gravel, and the stone groups are stacked in an orderly manner. There is no trace of green. A rockery stands in the center, with a huge outline, like a Buddha sitting cross-legged.

Time almost stands still.

She held her breath and took a step forward, making a soft sound as her footsteps stepped on the gravel.

As if the stagnant time began to flow, the white mist floating in the courtyard dispersed, and several silent ghostly figures emerged from the white mist.

Each stood at the four corners of the courtyard, southeast, northeast, southwest, and northwest. From the four corners, cold and dead gazes came out. The assassins, as silent as corpses, were staring at the people who were about to become corpses.

The dead soldiers of the Yingzhou royal family.

Ju Dao Zhong.

…

"The emperor wants to kill them?"

Cordelia's eyes widened slightly: "Wait a minute, isn't the emperor canonized?"

"It's canonization." Bai Yu said, "Just like the Roman emperor."

"Why is it so complicated to kill someone for sainthood?" The saint didn't quite understand: "If it were in Rome, it would be the simplest thing for the emperor to kill someone."

"It's easy for a tyrant to kill someone," Bai Yu said, "but the problem is, how to kill people without being regarded as a tyrant... The emperor can kill people, but many emperors will not kill people at all. One of the ways to maintain the dignity of the monarch is to Let the ministers be afraid and think that they have a knife in their hands."

The saint said: "You mean, the emperor is not a tyrant?"

"He doesn't want to be regarded as a tyrant. At least in Yingzhou, the emperor has the shogun to check and balance." Bai Yu said lightly: "Furthermore, Yingzhou is quite weird. The emperor's monarchy is different from that of the emperors in Rome and Daxia. incomplete."

"So, even if the emperor sees someone as a thorn in his side, he can only use some unconventional means."

"It is impossible to decide life or death with just one word."

Cordelia asked: "Why do you think the emperor hired the murderer?"

"It's very simple." Bai Yu replied: "It's intuition."

The saint immediately wanted to complain, but then realized that the other party was teasing and retorting.

She snorted unconvinced: "Women's intuition is very accurate, so is men's intuition?"

Bai Yu looked at the transparent barrier not far away: "If he didn't take action and fell down this barrier, I wouldn't think it was him... Instead, I would put the target of suspicion on the shogunate. He just watched the shogunate warrior family die and die. It’s so weird to do nothing.”

"But he took the initiative to put down this barrier, so there is no need for brainstorming. It must be the emperor, it is him, and it will only be him."

The saint scratched her hair. She was not stupid, but she didn't know much about the situation in Yingzhou, so she didn't react for a while.

After sorting out her thoughts, she understood the key.

"I see."

"Originally, the Chinese people encircled and suppressed the Wu family. If it succeeded, Miss Amamiya would definitely be buried in the canyon."

"But she broke through the realm and is now strong. However, the emperor fell to Amian Iwato, clearly intending to let everyone die here."

"If there are no other reasons, the emperor does not need to be so absolute. He should consider how to stop losses instead of locking everyone in hell."

"And the reason is to kill Miss Amamiya..."

When Cordelia said the last part of her analysis, she was a little confused: "Is this too far-fetched?"

"Looking at it from our side, this is certainly far-fetched." Bai Yu held his cheek: "But what if we change the angle?"

The saint asked the baby curiously: "How to change it?"

"This Tianwado not only trapped us, but also isolated the inside and outside. People inside can't get out, and people outside can't get in."

Bai Yu picked up a peanut, peeled it open, split it into two parts, and separated them with his palms: "Does this create a situation where both sides cannot come to rescue?"

Cordelia's inspiration lit up and she raised her index finger to the sky: "Ah..."

"Yes, Minami Shiori."

Bai Yu picked up half a peanut and threw it into his mouth: "She is isolated and helpless. If I guessed correctly, the emperor's assassination force has almost arrived."

There was silence in the camp, and the atmosphere was somewhat depressing and solemn.

The saint looked at the white fox mask on the table and asked: "The reason why the emperor wants to kill them is because of the thing I mentioned before?"

"Nine times out of ten, I can't think of any other reasonable explanation." Bai Yu nodded.

“Amamiya Mahiru’s grandmother was an innate heroic spirit, and she most likely came from Kyoto, but she and the old man of the Amamiya family gave birth to a son and a daughter. There may be some taboo in this, but we don’t know what it is specifically. "

"I'm not surprised at all that there are any strange folk customs or dross in a shabby place like Yingzhou."

"As a direct descendant of Amamiya, Amamiya Mahiru's bloodline may have stained someone's eyes, especially since she also inherited the principles of heroic spirits."

Minami Shiori was the one who was offended.

Mahiru Amamiya was targeted because of her bloodline;

Minami Shiori was targeted because her eyes came from Amemiya Mahiru.

In fact, there were already signs of what was going to happen today.

Think about it carefully, when did it start to spread that Shiori Minami's eyes did not belong to her?

The reason why this matter spread is because of Nan Shihui's speech before his death six years ago... (Chapter 424)

He directly stated that Minami Shiori’s eyes came from Amamiya Mahiru.

At first, Bai Yu thought that Nan Shihui bit back before he died in order to separate the two sisters.

Looking at it now, maybe it was to spread the secret, to spread the word in front of so many people present.

His proud smile at that time was in anticipation that one day, Amamiya Mahiru's eyes would bring disaster to the Nan family.

Recall Nam Thi Fai’s last words at that time.

‘Do you know why I value you so much, but I treat her so dismissively? ’

‘Have you ever thought about why she is valued by this Daxia people if she is just an ordinary useless person? ! ’

‘Some things cannot be seen in the light! ’

‘I treat her as a tool and treat her extremely cruelly, in a sense, to make it easier for you to accept the Nan family. ’

‘Since you don’t accept this kindness, then I don’t have to hide it...enjoy the last parting gift that my biological grandfather gives you! ’

After saying the above, Teru Minami revealed the fact that Shiori Minami's eyes came from Mahiru Amamiya.

And all the sense of déjà vu comes from the foreshadowing words above.

What is it that is so shady?

Why on earth can Amamiya Mahiru, the daughter of the Nan family, not be the head of the Nan family?

Why on earth did Minamiji Teru support Minami Shiori to rise to power even if he dug out Amamiya Mahiru's eyes?

Judging from the perspective of hindsight, Minamiji Teru has always been aware of the fact that Amamiya Mahiru is an acquired heroic spirit.

Because of this, he felt scared, fearing that this incident would bring disaster to his family.

In a sense, exchanging her eyes with Minami Shiori also protected Amamiya Mahiru. As long as she did not awaken her bloodline, she would not attract the murderous intention of the person above her.

As a result, Nan Thi Hui himself was defeated.

He told the biggest secret.

That was not meant for Nan Shizhi at all.

It turns out that everything has been decided for a long time.

There are no coincidences in everything in the world, only inevitable consequences.

Of course, looking back to the past won't help the current situation.

Only when you know who is behind it can you know how to deal with it.

Since it was the Emperor's plan, there was obviously more than one killing move.

Don't forget it.

This time the underworld was filled with many coincidences.

For example, the Fujiwara clan's attack on the shogunate samurai family was a coincidence caused by the 'Piper'.

Another example is that the front line of Huangquan was penetrated by Hyakki, forcing the emperor to fall to Ama Iwato. This was also a coincidence.

Without these coincidences, what would the Emperor's planning look like?

The original front line was not allowed to retreat.

Therefore, in his plan, Minami Shiori and Amamiya Mahiru will stay in Huangquan.

Then he must have prepared another hard dish.

At this time, an indescribable pressure came from the far north.

The underworld was in turmoil, and the white mist surged like a tidal wave, enveloping it with a biting chill and freezing frost that fell to the ground.

Although there was no thunder, there seemed to be countless rumbling sounds in the sky and the earth.

Bai Yu raised his hand to catch a snowflake and said softly: "Tonight will be very long. Get ready. We have to prepare to escape."

"Um."

The woman on the other side of the desk responded and stopped talking. She silently picked up the repaired white fox mask and put it on her cheek.
