long way home

Walking on the edge of the village, you can see a few low and simple houses and a large piece of barren land.

"This place is really barren!" Mutsu Mori Yoshiyuki was a sword in the Edo period, and he was considered extremely young in the sword account.Although he had been to the Warring States Period or the Antu Period before, most of the battlefields there were in the wild, so he had never seen such a simple and simple house.

Yamabashi Kiri Kunihiro, who was walking with him, remained silent, but lowered the white cloth over his head again to block the occasional prying eyes from the direction of those houses.

Mutsu Mori Yoshiyuki didn't care about his companion's silence, and said to himself: "In the past, I was directly teleported to the vicinity of the retrograde army. This time, I have not seen the enemy after walking for so long. The information is really ignorant!"

Before setting off, He Si told them that the Government of Time had just developed the technology to travel back to the Heian era, and they had no accurate information about the current situation here, the goals of the retrograde army, etc., so there was no way. Like before Accurate delivery like those battlefields.

So this operation is not so much an outing as an expedition.Their primary purpose is not to annihilate the enemy, but to find out the reasons for the changes in the history of this era. Of course, it would be best if they can find the culprit by the way.

At this time, Yaken Toshiro, who went to investigate the village first, came back.

Yaken Toshiro's battle uniform is a set of military uniform with a strong modern flavor, which is no different from exotic clothes in the eyes of people in this era.But the battle uniform is the most suitable "spiritual outfit" for men with swords and cannot be easily replaced, so Yaken Toshiro approved another light gray haori outside.

From this point of view, it is no longer out of date for Yamabashi Kiri Kunihiro to wear a white cloth.

"I heard from the villagers that a new group of monsters has arrived nearby, but I don't know if it is the retrograde army." Yaken Fujishiro said the results of the investigation.

"Oh, that's right. In the eyes of ordinary people, those retrograde army commanders are monsters with piercing eyes and cold eyes." Mutsu Mori Yoshiyuki was a little disappointed that he didn't find out where the enemy was. "Is there any other information?"

"That's all the information about the retrograde army." Yaken Toshiro added: "But it has also been found out that this place is not far from Heian-kyo, and the one who is in power now is the emperor."

"That's pretty good too. Thank you for your hard work, Yaken." Mutsu Mori Yoshiyuki scratched the back of his head, "We basically have nothing to gain here."

"This is what I should do." Yaken Toshiro said modestly.

"It's almost time to meet up, don't keep my lord waiting." Yamabuki Kunihiro interrupted the two people's greetings, turned and walked towards the direction they came from.

"It's really hard to communicate with Yamabukiri like this." Mutsu Mori Yoshiyuki sighed, "I talked to him so much just now, but I didn't get a single response."

Yaken Toshiro glanced back at him, and teased him with a smile, "Maybe it's because you talk too much that Yamabagiri-kun doesn't bother to talk to you!"

Mutsu Mori Yoshiyuki was a little unconvinced, chasing after the two blades and chattering endlessly: "Hey, you can't say that! I was trying to adjust the atmosphere! Do you understand the atmosphere? Otherwise, staring at him? It would have been cold for a long time. Okay……"

They returned to the original point, and found that Higakiri, Kemaru, and Mikami Tsukimune had been waiting there a long time ago.

"I said, the three of you didn't move at all, did you?" Mutsu Mori Yoshiyuki looked at the three-edged man sitting under a big tree to enjoy the shade in a leisurely posture, and suddenly had a bad association.

"Hahaha!" Sanri Yuezong didn't feel the embarrassment of being lazy and being exposed at all, "After all, he is a grandfather, and he must give Young Blade a chance to perform."

Higakiri also had a smile on his face, "Sanriyuedian and I don't have the advantage in maneuvering, and Mimiwan is a road idiot. If you go too far and can't come back, it will cause trouble for the lord."

"So you guys just got lazy?" Yaken Toshiro narrowed his eyes dangerously, and Yamabashi Kiri Kunihiro also snorted to express his dissatisfaction.

"I'm really sorry!" At this time, Kagemaru stood up and bowed at a ninety-degree angle to them, and said very ashamedly: "I also persuaded my brother and Sanriyuedian, but...unknowingly, I was caught by the two of them." Go around and forget about business!"

Mutsu Moriyoshi walked over to help Kagemaru, patted him on the shoulder sympathetically, and sighed, "Oh, it's not easy for you, Mizumaru!"

Keimaru was very touched at first, and finally Yuba understood him, and when he heard Mutsu Mori Yoshiyuki called him that, he immediately shouted in grief and indignation, "It's not Mizumaru, it's Keimaru!"

At this time, He Si and Diarmuid also returned.

He Si walked in front refreshed and refreshed, and Diarmuid followed behind with his forehead supported.

"Yo! You are all back." He Si waved his hand at Ji Ren as a greeting.

"It's been a long time." Diarmuid was slightly embarrassed.

Because he was shocked to hear the news about Taotie before, he followed his lord to the woods outside the village without paying attention.

He Si stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "Strange, I clearly remembered coming from this direction before, how did I get to the woods?"

Diarmuid tried his best to identify the north, south, east, and west from the direction of the trees' growth, and found that they were walking in completely opposite directions, so he hurriedly stopped his master, "My lord, let me lead the way!"

Fortunately, although He Si is an unconscious road idiot, he is not the type who will not listen to persuasion, so the two of them were able to return to the meeting point smoothly.

Seeing that everyone was present, Yaken Toshiro recounted the information he had found before.

Although these Ping An old knives who rely on the old and sell the old have become intelligence, they are not useless.

"Emperor Ichijo is in power..." At this point, the mustache cut his face full of nostalgia, "Then the head of Genji's family now is Man Zhong-sama!"

Kenmaru's heart is also full of emotion, after all Yuan Manzhong is his elder brother and his first master.

"But the situation of the emperor is not very good." Seeing that everyone was attracted by his speech, Mikazuki Zongjin explained, "Although it is said that the emperor is in power, he does not have much real power. The royal family in this era Decadence, the real power is in the hands of Mr. Fujiwara."

"Fujiwara? What's that?" As soon as the history other than Genji was involved, Higiri turned back to the old sword with amnesia who lost his memory all the time.

"Brother, you are really good." Knee Maru is used to his brother's intermittent amnesia, "Fujiwara... the current head of the family is Mr. Fujiwara, right?"

After all, He Si and Diarmuid are not from Fusang, so they basically don't know much about these histories.

Yaoken and the others were in the later era, and they were not the swords of the literary department themselves, and they only knew some things that happened in their own era.

So it was Mikami Tsukimune who answered the conversation, "Speaking of Mr. Fujiwara, his most famous deed is the establishment of the third empress of a family. Because all three daughters married the emperor, Mr. Fujiwara has great power. When the power reaches During the peak period, he even wrote "This world is my world, as if the moon is full and perfect", which can be called a rebellious waka."

"That's really a crazy guy! But to have such a crazy capital, it must be really powerful." Although Mutsu Mori Yoshiyuki looked a little careless on the outside, he was under the influence of his former master, who was the reformist power. Influenced by Ryoma's version, he still has a keen sense of politics.

"That is to say, the highest political status in this era is Fujiwara Michijo, right? So if the retrograde army wants to change history, will he be the primary target?" Yaoken Fujishiro recalled the consistent behavior pattern of the retrograde army , made such a conjecture.

"Very likely!" Mutsu Mori Yoshiyuki confirmed Yakuken Toshiro's guess.

He Si has not seen the retrograde army yet, but from the intelligence analysis he has learned, the retrograde army should be a monster that does not have much reason and only fights on instinct, then... "The retrograde army used to be the key to directly intervening in history." Sexual battlefield spoils the situation. But according to Sankaiyue, this Fujiwara priest has no representative military exploits. How can the retrograde army interfere? Don’t let his daughter become the queen?"

Well, if you really think about it in this way, they want to prevent the retrograde army from changing history, that is, to ensure that the daughters of Michijo Fujiwara become queens?It instantly turned into a palace fighting drama, hey!

Zhongblade quickly shook his head, shaking this terrible idea out of his mind!

"Hahaha, very good, very good!" Sanri Yue Zongjin was still there to add to the chaos, "It is a good thing to solve the problem without fighting!"

"Anyway, let's go to Heian-kyo first!" In order to avoid being led astray by He Si's weird thinking, Yamabuki Kunihiro mustered up the courage to express his opinion.

Mutsu Mori Yoshiyuki hurriedly stared at Yamabuchi Kunihiro with the sparkling eyes of "You are still reliable", and saw him uncomfortably pulling the white cloth on his body, "I don't know what you are expecting."

Finally, the next itinerary was decided, so everyone stopped delaying and headed towards Heian-kyo.

Since they are teleported according to the standards of the expedition, they can stay in this era for a longer time.

Fortunately, this village is not far from Ping An Jing, and they arrived at the foot of Luocheng Gate in the evening of the next day.

"My lord! The architectural style here!" Diarmuid could tell at a glance that the city in front of him seemed familiar.

He Si nodded, affirming the thoughts of his followers, "This place is very similar to the Daxing City we have been to before."

Three days Yue Zong looked at the passersby coming and going at the gate of the city, and a flash of nostalgia flashed in his eyes, "Ping An Jing was originally built after Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty. Now is the most prosperous era for this city."

Yamabashi Kiri Kunihiro had a bad feeling, frowned and said, "There's a nasty smell!"

Although Kiri Kunihiro Yamabasa is indeed an imitation of Captain Yoshihiro, but according to the legend, it was himself who actually retreated from Yamabuka, so he is the soul-enhancing sword that he envied to death.Therefore, even though he didn't know it himself, his perception of the demon's breath was actually quite keen.

Higakiri was blunt, "What is prosperous and elegant is just a superficial appearance. As spirit swords, we know the true face of this city, and that's why I have the nickname 'Onikiri'!"

"Brother's words are very true!" Keemaru said while clenching the body in his hands, "There are many sinister and treacherous people in Heianjing, which is why there are so many ghosts. After all, ghosts and gods come from people's hearts!"

The fact is just like what the Genji brothers said, this city is naturally a prosperous and wealthy residence in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of people with spiritual power, the entire Heian-kyo is shrouded in an ominous cloud.

Now it is exactly sunset time and the time of encountering the devil, and there is an obscure and complicated aura in the air, indicating that the city is far from being as peaceful as it appears on the surface.

The noblest people live here, and the most mysterious demons live here; there are the scariest ghosts and the most powerful onmyojis here...Magic and full of charm, this is the real Heianjing!

The author has something to say:

The strongest father-in-law in history-Michijo Fujiwara!Yang Xuanyan (Yang Yuhuan's father) is not as strong as him!

Five daughters were sent to the inner palace successively, among which Zhang Zi was the middle palace of the first emperor, Yanzi was the middle palace of the third emperor, and Weizi was the queen of the last emperor.Therefore, becoming the relatives of the three emperors, he always ranked first among the public officials.

Among them, Akiko Fujiwara is the heroine of "Young Onmyoji".

The Tokugawa Art Museum has confirmed that the name "Yamabugiri" originated from the work of Kunihiro Horikawa, which preceded Captain Yoshihiro Bizen.The legend of Yamabashi Taiji should belong to Yamabuki Kunihiro, and the Captain Yoshihiro is the original version. In turn, because of the imitation, he was called "Yamabagiri".

The above, so this article has always insisted on using Yamabagiri to refer to being quilt.Although it would be better to be more confident, but he is the one we love to be quilted!
