Due to the unique entrustment nature, the mission must be carried out in secret. On the way to the capital of the Land of Fire, only the client and a very small number of informed samurai will be traveling with Cheng.

In order to deceive others, they pretended to be ordinary businessmen engaged in trade activities on the border of the country and returned to the capital to reunite with their families. As the key figure, Cheng, as the daughter of a frail businessman, traveled by car as much as possible during the whole process. On occasions in front of people, veiled hats with veils are also used to cover their appearance.

Although the future is uncertain, and the transportation mode at this time is simple, inefficient and uncomfortable, Cheng's curiosity about the outside world still has the upper hand. You can glimpse a corner of people's lives in the short peace between the current wars.

They finally reached the capital without incident.

After resting for a whole day, Cheng was summoned by the daimyo the next night, so she also realized that the commission was finally about to start.

The summoning was done in private, but probably it was still Ji Jicheng's nominal ninja status, and there were still a lot of guards around the daimyo.

But when Cheng was guided forward by the servants, the daimyo waved back most of the guards instead.

"Come closer, come to me."

Cheng Yiyan moved forward a little, and then the middle-aged man in front of him who had a noble status but whose face made people feel inexplicably sullen stretched out his hand and raised the hat curtain covering the girl's face.

Cheng felt slightly repelled, but rationality still suppressed her first reaction, she did not act rashly, lowered her gaze, and did not meet the other party's gaze.

This gaze was fixed on her for a long time, and then daimyo withdrew his hand, Cheng secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and from the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of a satisfied smile on the corner of the other's mouth.

"You are very similar to my daughter Qingzi," he said, "but Qingzi is far from being an obedient and docile child..."

Speaking of this, Daimyo frowned for some reason, but maybe seeing Cheng in front of him reminded him that his beloved daughter was about to be released from the unfortunate fate, and he quickly frowned again.

"Let the lady officer take her away."

After the daimyo gave such instructions to the people around him, Cheng followed the guards and left. An elderly female officer was waiting at the door to pick her up with a lantern. After seeing Cheng, she said respectfully and coldly, "Please follow me." , and then turned and left.

The other party walked very quickly, and Cheng cautiously followed behind. I don't know if it was because they had been notified in advance, but there was almost no one in the place they passed.There is a lamp every few steps on the promenade. The light is not bright, and it looks dark and mysterious.Finally the two stopped in front of a room whose door was painted with scarlet-feathered birds and flowers.

"This is Princess Qingzi's dressing room."

Cheng nodded, and walked in. Unlike the outside, the room was brightly lit, and what appeared in front of him was a luxurious dressing table belonging to aristocratic women, as well as pre-prepared cosmetics and accessories, as well as a set of gorgeous and gorgeous costumes.

The magistrate closed the door and came towards her.

"Please sit down in front of the dressing table."

Cheng nodded slightly, and after doing what she said, he took off the veil and put it aside.

She raised her face, the female officer seemed to be still in a daze.

"It's so similar..."

After muttering to herself, she restrained her expression as if she had just woken up from a dream, and picked up the makeup utensils at hand.

"I am the maid accompanying Princess Qingzi, so I will pass on information related to Princess Qingzi to you."

She raised Cheng Cheng's chin and picked out several luxuriously shaped boxes.The female officer picked out a little makeup powder from one of the boxes, dabbed it on Cheng's cheeks, and when it slowly faded away, her voice rang out at a leisurely pace.

"Princess Qingzi is the second daughter. She just turned 16 this year. Her mother comes from a respected and respected noble family..."

In order to facilitate the makeup, Cheng closed his eyes while listening intently to the other party's narration.

The life of a 16-year-old girl is not very short, but it is by no means very long. When the female officer enters the final grooming steps, this noble child born in the ruling class has grown up flourishingly and has become a The domineering girl, the story belonging to Princess Qingzi is almost coming to an end.

"...Princess Qingzi was supposed to be betrothed to the general's son before Lei Zhiguo put forward the marriage request."

"Since last year, the Nation of Fire and the Nation of Thunder have been in conflict. It is a bit malicious to propose a marriage at this time...but it has nothing to do with what you need to do."

She used delicate and bright red lipstick, and carefully painted on the girl's lips.

"You just need to play the role of 'Princess Qingzi' well." The female official said, "arrive in the Land of Thunder without being exposed, prove that we have indeed fulfilled the marriage agreement, and then make up a reason to die, and then the accompanying people I will take you away, and the commission is completed... I will change your clothes for you."

Cheng stood up cooperatively.

The original clothes on her body were removed one by one, and then those complicated and luxurious clothes wrapped her body layer by layer.

This attire is really not light, especially for Cheng. After wearing all the jewelry, it became difficult for her to move freely. The female officer didn't seem to be surprised by this. Waiting everywhere, I went to get the mirror case by myself.

She set up the mirror, Cheng slightly lowered her head, looking at her own reflection in the clean mirror.

The girl in her wonderful age is a dewy beauty herself, but she deliberately decorates her beautifully. The gorgeous clothes and make-up are intertwined with the delicate skin and body to form a strong impact of beauty and elegance.

"Finally, please remember that Princess Qingzi has always had a reputation for being arrogant..."

Cheng looked away from the mirror, raised his face, and looked at the female officer who was talking to her.

"Please absolutely, absolutely don't make any moves to reveal your identity."

"This is the princess's reception room. The departure is at dawn. Before that, please rest here for a while."

As the female officer spoke, she untied the hanging curtain tied with string on the left side, and let the translucent curtain fall down.

"However, before that, you have to meet with someone first."

"You mean...?"

She lowered the other curtain, and her figure was also isolated, leaving only a vague outline.

"It's the ninja-sama who will be your bodyguard."

Cheng said nothing, she suddenly thought of Madara and Quanna.

She knew it was a little too early to start thinking, but thinking itself never thoughtfully chose its timing.

The female officer withdrew after saluting, and Liu Cheng sat alone in the tent. She didn't wait too long, and after a while, another person came in.

Through the veil, she couldn't see the other person's face clearly, but judging from her figure, she was obviously not a woman.Beyond that, Chung keenly sensed a familiar air in the way he acted in an unassuming way of paring superfluous details to a minimum—he was a ninja.

"Is that you?"

Before he explained why he came, Cheng asked first.

"..."

The other party didn't speak, and Cheng couldn't make out his expression. When she began to guess whether the other party was dissatisfied with the rude words she used on purpose, the strange ninja spoke.

"My lord princess."

His tone was quite calm.

Cheng saw that his right hand seemed to be moving slightly, but if he wanted to see more clearly, he would have to lift the curtain——

"excuse me."

What happened at this moment was faster than Cheng could have imagined.

When the figure of the other party suddenly moved, Cheng couldn't help being startled.It only took her a short time to turn from surprise to calmness, and she did catch the figure approaching her at high speed, but her body's reaction was far behind her thoughts.

As soon as Cheng made a slight movement, the gauze curtain was lifted violently by the strong wind. The first thing she saw was a long knife with a bright and cold color, and then the young man holding the knife.

The other party blocked the oncoming thousands of copies with a horizontal knife, as if the real oppression was so strong that it made Cheng feel that her skin was tingling. She hardly had any chance to think, and was suppressed on the ground, with the blade across her neck. between.

The distance between the two was very close, and Chengya was finally able to see his face clearly.

He has silver hair and red eyes.

The two striking colors appeared on his body, but no one could feel any warmth. His eyes were like red ice, freezing and sealing off his emotions very well.

This is as simple as the unsheathed knife in his hand. The indifferent and sharp young man suppressed her gorgeous cuffs and hem when subduing him, just like covering an extremely bright cloud, but if he changed his position, From the perspective of the other side, it looks like a tree of rouge-colored flowers falling in the cold wind with biting and pure white snow.

Looking at each other for a while, Cheng saw that the other party frowned slightly.

"I know how to use a thousand copies, and I could feel the fluctuation of Chakra for a moment just now, but this is too weak - are you really a ninja?"

"...I'm sorry."

Cheng tried his best to prop up his upper body, carefully avoiding the murder weapon that was close at hand.

"It's you who should explain the origin first."

"It's just a test."

The other party's thoughts were roughly as he said, and after confirming Cheng's combat power level, he simply removed his weapon.

"I am a ninja entrusted by the daimyo to escort the princess. It was originally like this... until something happened a month ago."

"Accident?"

Cheng asked.

"The princess killed herself."

Youth put it simply.

"...she's gone?" Cheng was taken aback for a moment, and many details gradually connected together, "that's why they acted so eagerly..."

"That's right, when the commission was about to be terminated early, they found you. Therefore, the content of my commission has changed a little." He said, "In addition to ensuring that the 'princess' arrives safely in the Kingdom of Thunder, I must also Guarantee that his identity will not be revealed."

"That is to say..."

"In order to rule out the possibility of using ninjutsu to pretend to be a princess, the daimyo of the country of thunder is very likely to hire a perceptual ninja similar to me."

He pushed the knife back into its sheath.

"So, you can't reveal your ninja identity, no matter what the circumstances."

"...I see, I won't use Chakra anymore."

"Besides that."

"What are you referring to?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the young man in front of him leaned down, Cheng wanted to back away vigilantly, but his wrist was grabbed.

"Take off your ninja gear."

"Do not……"

The other party stopped talking, but there was no hesitation in action because of Cheng's resistance and resistance.

He checked Cheng's baggy sleeves, but found no trace of hidden weapons.

Then, he fell into a brief silence.

"excuse me."

This is the second time the other party has said this to her.

When he spoke for the first time, there was a shuddering cold light on the long knife.

the second time.

Although Qianshou Feijian didn't want to do this, but when he was really faced with such a situation, no matter how he felt in his heart, his expression would not change.

He held down the girl's shoulder, grabbed her ankle with the other hand, and firmly... Unable to refuse, he groped forward inch by inch.

It was obviously such a cold face, but the temperature from the young man made Cheng feel a little hot. His hand paused for a few seconds on the calf, and then poked in from the hem of the skirt, and Cheng unconsciously bit his lower lip. The temperature spread A little above the knee bend, almost near the heel of the leg, and stopped.

The tie that was used to fix it was torn off between the doors, and the ninja tool bag hidden there slipped off, and Senbon fell to the ground with a clanging sound.

"Since you are also a ninja, you should also understand that you must not disclose your family and name to unfamiliar ninjas when the situation is unclear."

He said.

"So, neither you nor I need, nor can, reveal this matter to each other."

"Similarly, I also understand that you can't stand not having a weapon to deal with danger on your body, but..."

In those indifferent red pupils, even concentration cannot be refused or violated.

"Instead, I will protect you."

he said to the girl.

"This is my promise."
