Chapter 40 Kawakami-hime's Rescue
Seeing Abe Haruaki stop, Ashiya Domitsu smiled even more.
"Your Majesty and all the civil and military officials are here. It's unreasonable for you to leave so suddenly."
Abe Haruaki's expression became even colder, and his blue-black eyes were filled with murderous intent. "My respected teacher is in danger, and you have planned that I will go back. Your wishful thinking is really good."
The boy next to him continued to urge him in a crying voice, "Sir, please go back and save my master. He has lost a lot of blood and is about to die..."
Ashiya Doman lied without blushing, and said, "I didn't plan anything. Your master's injury has nothing to do with me. Don't put everything on my head."
"Whether it's you who did this, I'll know when I get back." Abe Haruaki said coldly. The two of them were confronting each other fiercely and neither of them would allow anyone else to interfere.
Even the Emperor and the officials on the high platform began to become puzzled by their unusual behavior.
His Majesty the Emperor said, "My dear minister, why are you standing up and walking out? Isn't the competition venue in this prayer palace?"
The attendant also conveyed the emperor's other meaning, "Lord Harumi, where are you going? Will the competition continue?"
The two people's words expressed everyone's doubts, and the guests' attention was all focused on Abe Haruaki who stood up and was about to leave.
Abe Haruaki, who suddenly became the focus of attention, was caught in a dilemma.
If he said that his master was seriously injured and in critical condition and wanted to go back to treat him, he would have to leave the emperor and all the guests behind.
Will the guests wait for him to return? Will the Emperor wait forever?
The answer is no. This match will be directly regarded as Abe Haruaki's forfeit, and Ashiya Michiman will win and get the beauty.
A man like Ashiya Doman is definitely not a good match for Princess Kawakami. He will not treat "her" sincerely, and now he is just playing around. He is fighting with Abe Haruaki for her just because Ashiya Doman likes to steal Abe Haruaki's things and then destroy them.
Princess Kawakami "she" will not be happy. When Abe Haruaki leaves, she will hand "her" over to Ashiya Doman. Will Ashiya Doman be good to "her"?
No one knows, but Abe Haruaki doesn't want "her" to marry Ashiya Doman. It would be better... better than himself.
As for Abe Haruaki, he fell in love with Jijun at first sight yesterday. All his emotions were moved in that pavilion, and his first thought was to cure Jijun's illness.
Only Abe Haruaki is the best choice for Princess Kawakami.
But he was destined to go back for this game. If he didn't go back, and if Abe Haruaki's master died due to untimely treatment, then Abe Haruaki would be a cold-blooded hypocrite who disregarded human ethics and the past relationship between master and apprentice.
On one side is the teacher who taught him, and on the other side is the person he fell in love with at first sight. Both sides are very important people.
The current situation is a trap, a trap set specifically for Abe Haruaki.
There is no way to choose between the two, but the most important thing now is to save his master, and Kawakami Hime-kun...
Abe Haruaki did not dare to think too deeply. Hearing the Emperor's question, he bowed and said, "Your Majesty, my teacher Kamo Tadayuki was seriously injured. I want to go back and treat him. I hope Your Majesty will approve it."
The Emperor was now interested and asked, "How could Mr. Kamo be seriously injured? He is a great Onmyoji of the older generation and has made many contributions to our country. He should not be left without a doctor. You really should go back."
Abe Haruaki was about to express his thanks when he was interrupted by the Emperor again.
The Emperor continued, "However, I'm afraid that the competition cannot continue today. I'm busy with official duties. My dear, I can only regard it as a waiver. Do you want to go back?"
Having obtained the desired result, Ashiya Michiman smiled with satisfaction.
He challenged Abe Haruaki with his lips, "Abe Haruaki, you finally lost to me this time. From now on, the world's number one Onmyoji will be mine, Ashiya Doman, and the beauty... too."
Abe Haruaki's expression remained unchanged, only his clenched fists revealed his inner turmoil.
Abe Haruaki was about to open his mouth to confirm that he was leaving, when at this moment, a gentle and graceful voice sounded and called Abe Haruaki.
"Wait a moment, Lord Qingming, I have something to say."
Everyone, including Abe Haruaki, looked up and found that the person who spoke was the mascot Kawakamihime, the unpopular princess who was sick and tuberculotic.
Abe Haruaki cupped his hands, "What does your highness want to say?"
Jiang Chuan Shang walked slowly towards the table. The blue robe under her feet looked like a blooming flower, and her skirt fluttered as she walked.
He walked to the right side of Abe Haruaki without looking around, and then continued, "Forgive me for being rude, Lord Haruaki, what I want to say is that concern can lead to confusion. Please take another look. Who is that boy?"
Hearing this, Abe Haruaki was startled and immediately turned around to look at the crying boy. After a careful look, he finally found something wrong with his Yin-Yang eyes.
Just as Ji Jun said, this boy was not the boy who followed Master Abe Haruaki, but a very similar puppet. There was a transparent silk thread on his head, and he was controlled by someone.
If you don't look carefully, you really can't see it.
After discovering the silk thread and realizing that the boy was a puppet, Abe Haruaki's Yin-Yang eyes finally saw through the surface, the inside and the outside. So he formed a seal with his fingers and immediately swung it towards the boy. The boy's terrified look could not stop him at all.
Before the "boy" could say anything, he immediately fell to the ground like a wet paper and turned into a life-size paper man with an extremely terrifying appearance and an ominous black aura.
At the same time, Ashiya Doman coughed and blood flowed out of his mouth. It was obvious that he had suffered a backlash.
After doing all this, Abe Haruaki glanced at Ashiya Doman and looked directly at Egawakami. Although he had doubts in his heart, now was not the time to ask.
He bowed and said, "Thank you for your wise reminder, Your Highness. Qingming is grateful."
Jiang Chuan Shang nodded and smiled, "No need to be polite, my fox told me so."
As he spoke, Egawakami took out the little fox cub in his arms and let Abe Haruaki see her tail. The tip of the fluffy tail was streaked with golden hairs, which looked quite sacred.
As the son of a white fox, Abe Haruaki naturally did not miss it. He knew the abilities of fox demons very well, and the golden tail was particularly outstanding.
Jiang Chuan Shang's explanation is impeccable.
So he nodded and thanked him again, "Thank you again, Mr. Ji, for saving me. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have been killed by the villain today."
Feeling implicated, Ashiya Doman looked at the two people in front of him who were in an unusually harmonious atmosphere, and anger burned in his heart again. He swallowed down the fishy, sweet and bitter blood in his throat, waved his hand and burned the paper man clean with fire.
"Hmph, you're lucky."
Ashiya Doman stared at Abe Haruaki with a sinister and deep gaze. He flicked his sleeves and returned to his seat.
Jiangchuankami hugged Tamamonomae and coughed softly, which aroused Abe Haruaki's concern again.
"Ji Jun, if you feel uncomfortable, you can come to me for counseling."
"Well, of course I'll have to ask Lord Qingming for help."
As the two sides were talking more deeply, a little boy appeared beside Abe Haruaki unhurriedly. He cupped his hands and whispered to Abe Haruaki, "Master Haruaki, my master asks you to go to practice with him after the competition."
When everyone looked again, they found that this little boy looked exactly like the "little boy" who had just come crying, and then they understood the reason.
It turned out that someone had cast a spell and disguised himself as a little boy to confuse Abe Haruaki's mind, using a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
Abe Haruaki was more careful this time. He used his Yin-Yang eyes to carefully identify the little boy. After finding nothing unusual, he spoke, "Haruaki knows. He will definitely go after it's over."
"Yes, I will go back and tell my master about it."
After the boy left, the emperor asked, "My dear Qingming, will you continue?"
Abe Haruaki's gloomy expression had long been melted away by the spring breeze when he saw Jiangchuan, and now he looked calm and calm, but the smile on his lips could not be concealed no matter what.
He cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I want to continue the game and will not leave."
After a moment's silence, the emperor looked up and down at Abe Haruaki and Egawakami with his cloudy eyes. There seemed to be some unspeakable meaning hidden in the depths of his eyes.
After a while, he slowly said, "Well, let's continue the game."
As soon as these words came out, the followers around him immediately became busy.
They quickly cleared the cold food from the guests' tables and brought in a mysterious object covered with black velvet.
The object was tightly wrapped in black cloth, making it impossible to see what was inside. From a distance, it looked more like a square box.
When everything was arranged, the shrewd follower came forward and explained the rules of the game in detail.
"The third game is guessing what's inside the box. The two adults need to guess what's inside the box through divination and deduction. Whoever can guess correctly will be the winner of this game."
After the introduction, the attendant gently lifted the black velvet cloth and displayed the box inside to everyone.
This is a sealed wooden box, simple and thick in design, but it does not reveal any clues about what is hidden inside.
After doing this, the follower lit half a stick of incense again to use as a timer.
"My lords, let's begin."
Egawakami, holding Tamamonomae, had returned to his seat, leaving only Abe Haruaki standing in the middle of the field.
Ashiya Doman sat in his seat, not moving at all, holding the small golden mask in his hand. He had already deformed it, and it was now wrinkled and no longer as delicate as it used to be.
When the timer started, he gave his answer without hesitation.
"It's Mikan."
After saying this, he didn't even look at the others, but buried his head in drinking, as if trying to dilute the taste of rust in his mouth.
When everyone heard the answer given by Ashiya Doman, they immediately laughed, because everyone present knew what was in the box in advance, except Ashiya Doman, Abe Haruaki and Kawakami Hime.
There were fifteen mandarin oranges in the box. Ashiya Doman was right.
They all gave thumbs up to Ashiya Doman's deduction skills, but at the same time they felt sorry and regretful for Abe Haruaki.
Lord Abe Haruaki, I'm afraid you will lose the game this time!
Abe stared at the box, and after thinking and calculating for a while, a cunning look flashed in his eyes.
He began to make seals with his hands and muttered something. His leisurely manner made everyone present hold their breath and stare at him nervously.
Then, Abe Haruaki slowly spoke his answer: "There are fifteen mice in it."
Hearing Abe Haruaki's answer, everyone was stunned at first, and then burst into laughter. Even the emperor sitting on the golden chair laughed so hard that he fell backwards and even his eyes could not be seen.
Some people even shouted out loud without disguising: "Wrong, wrong, Lord Qingming's divination was wrong, Lord Daoman was right, there were clearly fifteen mandarin oranges in the box!"
"Yes, Lord Qingming did make a mistake this time, so Lord Daoman won this round. Now both sides have won one round each, do we have to play another round next?"
Someone echoed.
"Oh, that's right. We have to have one more competition, otherwise we won't be able to tell who the champion is. We can't let Princess Kawakami marry two people, hahahaha!"
Abe Haruaki raised the corners of his mouth slightly, but did not speak. He just signaled with his eyes to the followers beside him to open the mysterious box.
The attendant muttered to himself, "I want to see what's in it. It's just a mandarin orange. Abe Haruaki is so confident that I guess it's a mouse. Humph, if I find out there's nothing in it, I'll see how you end up!"
Thinking of this, he reached out and opened the lid of the box without hesitation.
However, the moment the lid was opened, a strange smell hit me in the face.
Immediately afterwards, several sharp "squeaks" were heard, as if something was running around in the box.
When everyone looked closely, they saw a small black thing jumping out of the box. After it fell to the ground, everyone was surprised to find that it was actually a giant rat!
What was even more shocking was that there were actually fourteen large black rats in the box that looked exactly like the ones just now! They were huddled together, their eyes rolling around, revealing a weird aura.
The women present immediately screamed in fear: "Ah! Rat!"
At this moment, everyone saw with their own eyes what was in the box.
It's a mouse.
The follower who was originally full of confidence was also at a loss, completely confused, and could only scratch his head subconsciously, stammering: "This...what on earth is going on?"
His Majesty the Emperor's eyelids kept twitching, and he was obviously very angry about this scene.
He shouted angrily, "What are you still standing there for? Why don't you quickly clean up these disgusting rats and kill them all! How dare you disturb the distinguished guests with this kind of thing? It's simply an unforgivable crime! If you offend the guests, who among you can take the responsibility?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" The attendant nodded in panic, immediately closed the box, and called on the servants to catch the mouse that fell to the ground. The mouse ran around everywhere, and the scene suddenly became funny.
