The majesty of the royal family is rooted in the hearts of every Japanese people. For the common people, the Emperor is indeed their god.

"The blood of God Amaterasu is very weak, not all members of the royal family can awaken the "divine power". "Facing Undead Kawa Minya's doubts, Hong Xiang seemed very calm.

The swordsman of the Demon Slayer Squad with scars all over his face sneered, "Then, what is the plan of the awakened "God" to let ghosts do whatever they want for thousands of years..."

Not just ordinary people!Just the members of the ghost killing team, how many people died under the claws of ghosts!

The blond young man raised his eyes, and the blue pupils reflected swaying light and shadow, "Last winter, avalanches occurred on four mountains in the north. Not counting the scattered people in the mountains, seven villages were buried under the mountains alone, and the neighbors were cut off." the village's water source, the dead, wounded and displaced—"

"—Over ten thousand."

"This summer during the rainy season, floods hit the south, crops and fields that were about to be harvested in autumn were flooded, farmers' homes were also washed away, and tens of thousands of refugees moved to the center... Their food and shelter are all in one place. Big problem."

Who resettled the victims?

Ke Yekuang approached and said, "It's His Excellency the Emperor..."

Even without using "divine power", the Emperor is still the god of the people.

"Blood brings not only rights but also responsibilities to the emperor on the throne." The blond young man got up and stopped looking at the two stiff swordsmen. meet him."

He bent down and picked up a tricolor dumpling from the tray again. The sense of distance was like a tulle that could be torn apart as soon as he poked it. The blond young man smiled kindly at the beginning.

"Thank you all the time."

After finishing speaking, Hong Xiang left the room, opened the paper door and went out.

The footsteps gradually faded away, and the two swordsmen of "Breath of the Wind" started a new wave of discussions after confirming that Hongxiang had gone far.

"Is it really... the royal family?"

Kuang Ye pointed to his sleeve, which is where Hong Xiang just showed them, "It's real, it's the chrysanthemum pattern of the royal family. Besides, in Tokyo, who dares to pretend to be a member of the royal family."

But it definitely can't be a direct lineage. A young man who seems to be in his twenties obviously doesn't match up with the Meiji Emperor, Crown Prince Yoshihito, maybe a prince from a collateral lineage.

Immortal Chuan Minami frowned so much that he could crush the Unicorn Immortal to death, "Then, we want to talk to the lord... my lord."

In fact, in the past few years of joining the Demon Slayer Squad, he and Kakino Kurosawa have never met the lord lord nearly once, but just as Kogo said, the feat of beheading Xiagenichi is enough for them to meet the owner of the obstetrician and be promoted to the pillar .

"Probably... a crow has already reported it." Kuano Kurosawa looked outside through the paper door.

The crows of the two of them naturally follow them closely, but crows can also exchange information of the same kind, and the crows that meet here can definitely help pass the news.

"Good news! Good news! Immortal Kawa Minya and Kakino Kusakami killed Hagenichi at the Western Casino in Tokyo City!"

The crow that merged with the night followed the subconscious mind and returned to the base camp of the Ghost Slayer Squad. A lacquer feather withered and finally floated to the courtyard of the main house of Ubuyashiki.

In the sky where no one can see, a [[-]] is engraved in the crow's blood-red pupils.

------

It was really hard for Zuo Jinci, alone, to train a thousand soldiers.

Moreover, most of the soldiers are adults, and their bone density and breathing style have basically been fixed, so it is difficult to adjust their physical fitness to adapt to "water breathing".

So Hong Xiang naturally put his mind on another trainer, the former Mingzhu Sangdao Ciwulang.

This is an old man who is older than Zuo Jinci, who has lived in Taoshan for more than 20 years because of a broken leg and retreated from the ghost hunting front.

And Hong Xiang didn't intend to use the method of approaching carefully and touching people with emotion for the first time.

Under the gaze of the crown prince, a guard stepped forward and knocked on the small wooden door built in Taoshan.

There were quite a few people who followed Hongxiang up the mountain, but they wore military uniforms and followed the blond young man in a well-behaved manner, and did not intentionally damage any plants or trees in the mountain.

Kuwashima Jigoro leaned on a cane and opened the door leisurely.The swordsman who used to be powerful is now just a lonely old man. He has a docile attitude, and his tone is a little uneasy, "That... my lord, what's the matter?"

Hong Xiang frowned slightly.

As a pillar-level powerhouse, Kuwashima Jigoro's posture...was too low.

And the old man knew that this was just to avoid unnecessary trouble.

It is impossible for him with a broken leg to guard the entire mountain of peaches.

Every year when the peaches are ripe, there are always many peach thieves, and children at the foot of the mountain will playfully pick a few away, but they all know that the guard of the peach forest is a poor old man with a broken leg, and the people outside Tokyo live in Most of them are still rich, and they will not steal from death.

Carrying a few baskets at most is not a problem for Cigoro Sangshima, who owns a whole peach grove. The peaches in this forest are enough for him and his two apprentices to live on.

But if he chased after him with a cane, those brats became resentful and cut down the peach tree or killed the immature peaches, that would be a disaster.

So as long as he didn't steal too much, Kuwashima Jigoro always turned a blind eye to those who "picked" peaches, showing weakness appropriately and letting them let him go.

But the group of people in front of them, as well as the soldiers... It's obviously not the case.

"Is it Mr. Sangshima Cigoro?"

The white-haired old man looked inexplicable, "Yes."

The blond-haired young man shook the paper in front of him, followed by dozens of soldiers in uniform standing upright. He raised his eyebrows to explain his intention.

"The title deed of Taoshan has expired, and the mountain will be taken back by the government."

"...What?" The old man's voice trembled.

Hong Xiang showed him the already yellowed writing.

It is clearly written on it, and there is Jigoro Kuwashima's own signature in the lower right corner.

At that time, Ming Zhu had just broken his leg, and his combat effectiveness had dropped drastically. He was not willing to face the pitiful and mocking eyes of his former teammates at all.When he was disheartened, he just wanted to get away from the world as soon as possible, so he bought this mountain to avoid the world in one go with a few years of [column-level] salary, and he was absent-minded when he signed it, but he clearly remembered...

"The lord said when he signed that this mountain will be old..." In fact, more than that, the official said clearly that the mountain belongs to him in this life.

The blond youth pointed to the lower left corner of the note.

--[20 years]

The old man still wants to struggle with the paper that has been stained yellow with time, "But, but..."

Hong Xiang could probably guess what the old man wanted to say, and answered his doubts directly.

"Oh, that's because the officials probably didn't expect you to live another 20 years."

Kuwashima Jigoro: "..."

Life imprisonment generally refers to more than 20 years of fixed-term imprisonment. For Kuwashima Jigoro, who was not young at the time and had a broken leg, the life of more than 20 years can indeed be said to be indefinite.

Maybe within 20 years it will die.

But the old man not only survived, but also looks like he can live another 20 years with great vigor.

But in any case, the 20-year agreement has come (even a few years beyond), the ownership of this mountain has returned to the government, and Sangshima Jigoro can no longer live here.

Even if you continue to pay the rent, Hong Xiang will definitely not agree.

Besides, the elderly cannot pay the rent at all.

Originally, he bought a house to live well, and his salary at the pillar level was enough for Cigoro Sangdao to eat and drink for the rest of his life.

But with the rental fee of a whole mountain, the saplings of a whole peach tree, and the fact that the peach trees didn't bear fruit a few years ago, Jigoro Sangshima had no income at all, and he had already spent all his savings.

It’s been a few years since the peach tree came to fruition. Qian Mingzhu had long wanted to open it, and he didn’t work hard to sell peaches to make money. The income is enough to eat and wear warm clothes. I have savings, but it’s only enough for my disciple to call a doctor when he suddenly gets sick. ...

It is really impossible to get the money for renting Taoshan.

When he was told that his home of 20 years was gone, and that even the land and peach trees would be taken back, Cigoro Sangshima suddenly felt light and confused.

He can be a little weak against peach thieves and bear children, but the dignity of a swordsman prevents him from making jokes against government officials.

And judging from the time, the hand of the white-haired old man holding the cane is a little trembling... He may have to pay the rental fee for one or two years.

This year's peach season has passed, and Sangshima Jigoro will no longer have any income.

But even if the entire mountain of peaches is sold next year, it may not be able to make up for it.

"...Then, if there is no money to pay, what should my lord do?"

The former Ming Zhu started to rejoice, today he drove the two disciples to the mountain for training early in the morning.Yan Yue is a hard-working child, he won't come back until dark, Shan Yi... probably will doze off in a tree until sunset.

It doesn't matter how he is an old bone official, the two apprentices should not be taken away by the officials just because of themselves.

Kuwashima Jigoro could clearly see that the young blond youth in the middle was the leader of the group.As the former strongman of Mingzhu, the old man is extremely sensitive to voice, he can feel that this young man is not a bad person.

So Sangshima Jigoro put himself on the weak side, hoping to win some sympathy from Hongxiang.

Sure enough, the two fingers of the blond youth rubbed together.

——That's proof of shake!

He moved his eyes down, no longer looking directly into his begging eyes.

——This is an expression of soft-heartedness!

The person in front of him hesitated for a while, his pupils shone slightly, as if he was a little embarrassed.

——It doesn't matter, this young man will definitely not embarrass me, an old man!At least you won't live without a place to eat and starve to death on the streets!

Steady!

Kuwashima Jigoro subconsciously straightened his back, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

——Yue, Shanyi, your master is so powerful!But since Taoshan can't live, where to go, alas, this is also a problem.

A few seconds later, the blond young man still moved his Adam's apple, and said slowly:

"That's really bad. I have to ask you to come with us and spend the rest of my life in prison."

The blue eyes were raised again, with irresistible force in them:

"Also, the two teenagers on Taoshan will follow you, please don't play extra thoughts."

Devil's Whisper triple hit:

"In 20 years, the rental fee will naturally increase. If you don't make up the money, you will be sold."
