Chapter 20 Xiaohumaru and his lord

Xiaohuwan just happened to pass by the room of the interrogator, really, just a coincidence.

Because he originally planned to go to the dining room to steal fried tofu—he was hungry, and this was force majeure.

But before he could steal the tofu, he was first attracted by the flickering lights and figures in the room.

The lord is having a secret conversation with another person.Based on his concern about the big and small things of Honmaru, or should I say the gossip mentality deeply rooted in the bottom of human nature, Xiaohumaru put his ear to the paper door without hesitation.

"This thing, can you please explain?"

It seemed the conversation had only just begun, and he thought he'd really pick the time to show up.Through the shadow reflected on the paper door, one can see that the inquisitor picked up a moderately thick book and shook it gently in the air.

"Oh? When did you get it? You must have gone to my room to explore carefully."

Semi's voice drifted like a candle, passing through the gap in the door to Xiaohumaru's ears.

"To each other. Don't you often come to my room to pick up sheep? For example, battle plans and the like."

"Hahaha! I was discovered, and I obviously put it back. I just thought, as a god judge, I should also learn how to write the battle plan──Although my Honmaru doesn't accept me at all. .”

Facing Semi's brazen words, Kohomaru cast a contemptuous look at Kamen Nei.

"Could it be because your sword doesn't accept you, you're playing tricks on my sword?"

"Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm just an experiment, I'm an experimental person."

"...Wait a minute. Kokomaru, come in."

Hearing the lord's call, Xiaohumaru flinched in surprise, he didn't understand how the lord found out, he was clearly hiding by the corner of the wall, how could he be caught right after a few moments?

But since they had all been discovered, he had no choice but to obey the order, open the door and enter the room.

The judge and Seto sat facing each other, with a small tea table in between.The coffee table is covered with pestles and mortars for pounding medicine, dried flowers and plants, just like the scene of interrogating prisoners with stolen goods and witnesses.

He sat shoulder-to-shoulder with the lord, and the guy opposite was smiling harmlessly, and he was very embarrassed.

The inquisitor pressed the book on the coffee table, signaling to continue the conversation.

"These flowers and plants are useless when viewed alone, but they can have unexpected functions when mixed with other herbs, and they can even restore youth. You have experienced it yourself, don't you think it is worth studying?"

"But even if it has effects, it's not a chemical substance after all...ah, you probably don't understand chemistry. In short, the effects of flowers and plants are not strong, and the effects can last for a day or two at most. If they are more powerful, they can be cured by using the antidote in the opposite direction. .”

"Because it won't cause real damage, why are you experimenting with my sword!"

The god judge's angry voice was more imposing than expected, Xiaohuwan couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

"I want to find the most harmful flowers that can make people lose their minds, lose control, and be like drugs. Well, don't be angry. I can't continue the experiment anymore. Now, I just ask you How to deal with me."

"...You are not allowed to release the Honmaru without authorization again."

"Oh! Hey, aren't you going to kick me out?"

Seto asked with a smile.

The impolite guy, he is so happy when he made a mistake. The reason why the lord does not chase you away is because the lord is kind-hearted. He is afraid that once you get out of Honmaru, the swords and swords will chase you out and beat you to death!Xiaohumaru stared at him with raised eyebrows, cursing inwardly.

"You still have some secrets in your heart. I will make the final decision after I know."

"So you want to know my secret~ Then, what if I don't tell you?"

Listening to his oily drawn-out tone, the examiner silently lowered his eyes.

Kokomaru knew that as long as Sejian insisted not to speak, the lord would have nothing to do with him.

If it was me, I would definitely tie up Sen Jian Wu Hua Da and torture him for three days and three nights, forcing him to tell the secret.Xiaohuwan snorted.

Although the protagonist is neither a saint nor a tyrant, he is calm and decisive, but he is at the level of a mortal in terms of intrigue, not to mention that he has not been with other people for a long time. .

When he was wondering whether he wanted to call everyone to secretly give Setian a torture meal, the interrogator spoke.

"...What if the benefits are exchanged?"

Sudden and inexplicable.Xiaohumaru opened her mouth in surprise, and Seti obviously shrank her pupils in surprise.

"If I'm willing to let you continue the experiment──but it's not about the sword, it's about me. I can be your experimental subject. After the relative experiment, you have to tell me your secret."

"It's meaningless if it's not about swords. 』

Xiaohuwan caught a whisper with the tip of his ear, and the complaint lingered in his ears, and he looked at Seti inexplicably.

But Sensei's eyes were shining brightly, as if he had never seen such an interesting thing before.He covered his mouth at first, trying to suppress the laughter in his palm, and finally couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Ha ha ha ha ha! You know what? There's a saying that goes like this: Curiosity can kill a cat. You are brave enough to sacrifice yourself to know my secret. But I have to warn you , excessive curiosity, usually brings ruin."

"──But, okay, it seems to be a good deal, so let's make a deal like this?"

The judge nodded.Xiaohumaru noticed that his shoulders were trembling slightly, almost invisibly shaking.

The transaction was over, and the judge let Setami go.He whistled and left the room, making Kokomaru want to drag him over and beat him up.

The judge took out a red guard from his pocket and hung it in front of the two of them.

"How can my lord have such a tattered guard?"

"Jiang Xue picked it up on the battlefield. You think it's tattered, right? Such a dirty, shabby and worthless thing..."

Xiaohumaru heard him suddenly utter a series of derogatory words with horror, thinking that the anger of the god judge against Sejian would extend to himself.

"Obviously so, but they carry it with them as treasures, and they never leave their bodies even when fighting."

"Excuse me, what do they mean?"

"Our enemies, the swords of the revisionists. I'm surprised...I thought they were emotionless."

He was also surprised.Because he really believes that the enemy is not endowed with emotions. Although he is also a ghost, the other party may be said to be a sword spirit who has lost his mind, is crazy and has no claim.

Xiaohumaru took over the guard and looked at it carefully through the light.Ordinary, with no monetary value at all, if you really want to pick out something special, you can barely say that it is hand-sewn stitch by stitch, and the stitches are very messy and ugly.

"It's so ugly, but I still have the courage to take it out."

"So, this must be a very meaningful guard. Even though the material can be measured by price, the affection it bestows is far more valuable than money. It is a kind of spiritual fit. Who do you think it will be gifted to?" what about?"

"I see. I think, maybe... it's their lord? Although I don't know if they have a master, but if the lord gives me a guard, I will definitely wear it for a moment."

Xiaohuwan patted his chest to assure him, as if the judge really gave him such a guard.

The binding thread on the hanging finger is blown by the wind, and the shou shou is like a dandelion turning on its toes. The thread keeps flying in the air and finally knots.

The god judge held it down, and rubbed the cloth mimori with his fingertips. The touch of brocade was rough but soft.

His hand went up along the thread, and his palm covered Xiaohumaru's hand.

"Yeah, their lord, I think so too..."

The warmth in the palm was like that sigh, and instantly settled into the skin.

In the afternoon of the next day, Xiaohuwan accompanied the judge to practice swords in the courtyard.

The official course of learning swordsmanship started yesterday afternoon, with Jiang Xuezuo's words starting to teach, and then it was the turn of the first session this morning.There is no special schedule to arrange a position. If you want to be an instructor, you must first have to be idle before you can qualify.

The mind examiner has a strong learning ability and remembers the steps clearly and completely. Unfortunately, he is inexperienced. The posture and momentum have to be integrated into the body and mind until the movement is reflected. This requires long-term training, so there is no rush.

Xiaohumaru thinks this job is very good.Not only can you have close contact, but this is official business, and the reason is justified, so no one dares to say anything.

"Return to the original action. Raise the hand a little bit, yes."

He supported the master's hand while helping to adjust his posture.He has a good nose, and when he gets close, he can smell the combination of sweat and the aroma of his clothes. The smell is not pungent, but rather alluring enough to stimulate his adrenaline.

After practicing all afternoon, the physical strength of the judge is not bad, but he is exhausted.

Xiaohumaru asked the protagonist to rest under the eaves, and he himself demonstrated in battle. He was full of vigor, and his posture of swinging a knife was majestic.

Halfway through the demonstration, Se Jian suddenly came over, and Xiaohumaru spat secretly, thinking that this guy came to cause trouble because he was grounded.

"Hey, are you practicing sword again? It's hard work. Have a cup of tea? I'll make it for you."

Seti smiled as usual, and handed out the teacup in his hand.

The cup is filled with tea, although it is tea, but the food that comes out of his hands is usually not pure, even though the color and taste of the tea seem to be very normal, the mind examiner subconsciously backs away.

Seeing that she didn't get a friendly response from her good intentions, Semi shrugged her shoulders.

"You don't want to drink? Really? We made an appointment yesterday. Experiment, experiment."

The special key words escaped into his ears, and the examiner rolled his eyes hesitantly.After being silent for a while, he finally took the cup of tea, before Xiaohuwan could stop him, he raised his head and drank it down in one gulp, until there was not a single drop left.

"It's too dangerous! My lord, what if this guy is poisoned?"

"It's okay, no matter how poisonous the herbal juice is, it won't kill people. Didn't Jie Siming propose the deal because he knew about it? Besides, it's an exchange of equal value. I'll tell you the secret after I see the experimental results."

Seto explained sarcasticly.

Xiaohumaru gritted his teeth and turned the blade, the tip of the sword swept straight along the wind and brushed Semi's temples, and the other party quickly reached out to block it with sharp eyes, and there was a thick impact sound.Although this is just a wooden knife, if it hits the top of the head, it is guaranteed to hit him in every possible way.

"My lord, you see, this is called a front split."

Xiaohumaru taught the lesson coldly, and took the knife back.Seeing a mouthful of white teeth and smiling brightly, Seto resisted the urge to smash his teeth with a knife.

"Use me as a model, I thought non-wild foxes were very docile."

"Even domesticated foxes will bite because they are wild. Especially when the predators are in sight."

Now that the real goal has been achieved, Semi responded perfunctorily with "Yes yes yes" a few times and then walked away.

Xiaohumaru was furious, and wanted to chase him with a knife and cut him in half, but the judge silently grabbed his sleeve, and suddenly leaned up from behind, wrapping his arms around his waist.

He felt his heart melt instantly, and called out to the lord in a soft voice.

"Kohomaru, I'm so scared."

"My lord, don't worry, even if the cup of tea is poisoned, we will try our best to find the antidote to save you. But, after all, why did you make such a request? Knowing that the guy is upset and kind, you still do him Object."

He clenched his hands around his waist.

"No. I-I'm afraid that I did something wrong. I shouldn't have let Seto Misumi Honmaru back then, because my judgment was wrong, which troubled you deeply. I just hope that this can be redeemed, or in other words, get a little Redemption."

"You don't need to sacrifice yourself to make this kind of redemption."

"If I can know his real purpose... I can take some comfort if I know that he is not the real evildoer."

Xiaohumaru broke free from his hand, turned around and met the eyes of the judge, and the judge lowered his eyes as if avoiding him.

"Sorry for being so cowardly."

He rubbed his fingers against his cheek, stroking affectionately.

"Because you are too gentle. However, cowardice is also good, so we have a reason to protect you."

"I've always lived easily under the protection of others. I'm really too cunning. I didn't realize this clearly until yesterday when I went out to battle. What's the use of playing the zither and appreciating plum blossoms if you can't even control a horse?"

The judge's eyes were red, and the moist pupils seemed to be filled with mist, almost seeping out of the eye sockets. He bit his lips angrily, scolding himself for his incompetence.

To Xiaohumaru's surprise, she still felt that she was beautiful.

Good, all good.No matter which side is the protagonist, cowardly or ethereal.

The people in Honmaru are all psychopaths, they like to see the judges vulnerable, which can arouse their desire to protect.

The side that the judges don't often show, they always see it as a newcomer.

Even, Xiaohumaru once thought so whimsically, even if the god judge suddenly turned into a tyrant and whipped their buttocks with a whip all day long, they would be happy to lift their buttocks to bear the pain.

Because I like it, I accept it unconditionally.

So blind.However, this is their definition of mutual affection, and they are happy with it.

"My lord, don't think about it. The sun is about to set, shall we go to the cafeteria?"

Xiaohuwan rubbed the corners of his eyes for him.

I don't know if it was his illusion, but he felt a faint crimson red on the cheek of the judge.

During dinner, he kept paying attention to the situation of the god-judging person. He drank the experimental tea from that bastard Setian, and there was no guarantee when an emergency would happen. , so that he cannot observe.

When he was halfway through the meal, the lord had already finished his meal, and he suddenly got up and left the table to return to the room. With a heart full of fear, he quickly speeded up his meal while hating himself for his poor appetite today.

Although Qingguang didn't understand what happened, he also sensed that something was wrong with the judge.Seeing that Qingguang wanted to follow, Xiaohumaru immediately stuffed his mouth with food hungrily, and quickly grabbed Qingguang's hand.

"I'll go and see!"

He volunteered, and Qing Guang was frightened to stay where he was by the terrible appearance of puffed cheeks.

Kohomaru rushed to the interrogator's room, and opened the sliding door with a bang.

The lights in the room were burning brightly, and before it was time to go to bed, the inquisitor had already wrapped himself tightly in a quilt.

"My lord, can I open the quilt?"

"No, no."

The voice of the judge was muffled under the quilt, but Xiaohuwan, who had excellent hearing, could still hear a hint of crying inside, and he could tell that the person inside was shaking without pressing the quilt. He thought of some truth, and hurriedly Tell yourself to be calm.

Heartbroken, he tore open the quilt forcefully, and at the same time cursed, "Damn it!"

Seti is never a good thing, but this is too much...well, yes, too much.

Xiaohuwan felt her heart pounding, but it didn't seem to be because of anger.

He could see what kind of damned drug the God-inspector had taken.

And he was so dry that he could barely speak.

The judge had tears in his eyes, his ears were red with embarrassment, he sniffed like he had been wronged, he retracted his jaw in order to avoid his sight, his lips were still clenched tightly, but his fiery breath still turned into mist. Melting in the air.

Xiaohuwan pinched his wrist.He couldn't help trembling, sweat dripped from his face, and slid down to his well-shaped neck. Under the light, that shallow collarbone seemed to be filled with moist water.

The mind of the god judge is experiencing the battle of thousands of troops.

It was so difficult for him to let the unbearable thing in his mind slip out of the gap between his lips smoothly.But the restlessness that almost came from the depths of his bones eroded his thoughts bit by bit.

Obviously all he needs to do is speak, and he can escape the clamoring pain just by speaking, but—he resists the teasing of his chaotic limbs, while worrying about shame and self-esteem in pain.

Ah, the damn medicine.

Xiaohuwan swallowed his saliva, thinking in his heart.

"...My lord, do you need my help?"

Xiaohuwan's voice was deep and magnetic, hitting his ears hard like a spell, and scratching like a feather, a voice that couldn't be pinched with fingertips, a softness that couldn't be separated from the palm of the hand, and an irresistible flow of water passing through the cracks in the stone.

He squinted his eyes and smiled, his blood-red eyes were covered with a dreamy color, as if he had seen through everything to the bottom of his heart, the slightly raised corners of his eyes were exactly the same as those of a fox, and the fangs around his mouth showed light.

I really want to be penetrated by those teeth, tearing and bleeding fiercely, and crushing this unfamiliar body.

The mind examiner's consciousness was already blurred, and strange thoughts began to float in his mind.

"need my help?"

he asked again.

This time, he moved his hand up to his cheek, and used his fingers to carefully and lovingly describe his face, starting from the chin, then to the lips, cheeks, nose tip, and finally pressing the soft lips.

The place he touched was as hot and itchy as if it had been eaten by ants.The god judge was trembling like a newborn deer, the tears burst out again, the tears wet Xiaohuwan's hands, and the warmth and moisture adhered to the skin.

His hand was like a source of fire to ignite the wick of the candle, running down his neck, lighting each candle, and igniting the fire to burn hotly.

"Need me, do you want me to help you? My lord?"

Xiaohuwan said clearly and slowly, while drawing his fingers lightly along the collarbone.

A wave of hot blood suddenly surged through the heart of the god judge, and his breathing became more and more chaotic.This action is like accidentally igniting a straw, like a phoenix turning a phoenix, an uncontrollable rage, raising the dust and sand crazily aroused by thousands of horses galloping.

He grabbed Xiaohumaru's wide sleeves, and the cat was pulled into his arms, wrapping his arms around his thick back.

"...Think of it as paying your tuition to teach me swordsmanship."

"How can I charge you any tuition fees? It's better to say that it's a reward for my usual achievements."

Xiaohumaru ambiguously brought her lips close to his ear, and reached out to wipe away his tears.

He watched the person in his arms trembling slightly, and couldn't help the smile on his lips.

Oh, and to stress here, he wasn't playing tricks.

Seeing the lord suffering, of course he would feel distressed.

It's just that the lord wants to give him a prize, and he is very happy──and he is hungry, which is force majeure.

Birds chirp to announce the arrival of morning, and the sound of birdsong rushes into the ears and stimulates the senses to wake up.

The judge suddenly opened his eyes as if frightened.

The room was clean and fresh, with a smell of soft quilts, and seemed to have a bit of incense, which made him feel calm.

The kimono on her body is not the same as yesterday, with no sticky, dry texture.

His chest heaved up and down, as if he was still in shock.

He didn't really want to recall what happened last night, and even because of such a reassuring room, he felt that those things were all dreams, and all disappeared with his waking consciousness, without breathing or heat .

...but low back pain is real.And heartbroken.

Kohomaru and Kiyomitsu, who surrounded him and slept on the left and right sides, were also real.

"Good morning, my lord."

"......Good morning."

The judge whispered good morning, then turned his back to Qingguang in embarrassment.

He seemed to want to avoid something, probably something embarrassing.Even though he turned around carefully and slowly, his waist still became more painful, and after turning around, in front of him was Xiaohumaru who had opened his eyes and was full of energy.

"Good morning, my lord. Can you brush my hair? Because last night, my hair was all messed up."

"But, maybe not, my back hurts..."

"Does it hurt? Xiaohuwan rubs it for you."

Xiaohumaru's hand squeezed his waist cleanly.

"Let me knead."

Qing Guang, who was behind him, also came up to him, and pressed against his back even tighter.

The interrogator who was flanked trembled, as if he was attacked by a tiger and a wild wolf at the same time, he wanted to cry but had no tears, and was in a dilemma.

At this moment, how much he wished that he would faint again!

The author has something to say:

Today I fried a plate of meat on a big fire and I want to treat everyone to eat, please accept it _(:3」∠)_

So, why did you choose Xiaohuwan?I don't know, maybe it's random. (stabbed to death by many knives)

And although the article shows that the word count is more than 5000, in fact, in fact, the original word count of this chapter is actually [-] words, you understand! (cover face)

Although I think my focus is on eating meat (?), but I also have something to promote the plot. It is estimated that after three or four chapters, it may be over.

Then I can do whatever I want in the next episode, Seto, go away wwwwww(?)
