Junko Muto has seen many beautiful things in her 12 years of life.

Gorgeous Kyoyuzen, exquisite Otaru glass, elegant cypress fan, delicate cloud muscle hemp paper...

But she had never seen such a gorgeous and magnificent flame.

"The castle tower is on fire..."

"...Rush to the south city gate, there will be a carriage to meet you there, be patient a little bit—are you listening?" Holding her in his arms, with the dog on his head, Zheng Chun ran with all his might.

"Where are your mother and father? Where are they? I'm going to find them!" Ji Jun, who was about the same stature as Zheng Chun, struggled.

"People from Hyuga's family have already escorted them away first." Zheng Chun was unmoved, like a scumbag who robs civilian women.

"Those mobs, why did they drive us out?" Hearing that her parents were safe, Shunzi became in the mood to vent her dissatisfaction.

They not only want to expel you, but also want to kill you to sacrifice the flag.Zheng-sheer has no intention of explaining to her.

"Hey, over there." Lazy voice.

who!I didn't notice it!

"So you're an idiot disciple, no wonder you fell into my illusion so easily." The fair-haired young man walked over step by step.

"Teacher Ghost Lamp, why are you here?" It can't be...

"A monk gave me some money and asked me to help him with his affairs." He looked at Zhengchun, who was as tall as himself, with a little displeasure.

"Teacher, teacher, I am your proud disciple who is worth a thousand dollars." The girl smiled like a little flower.

"Among you, there must be one left." Ghost Lantern bared his teeth.

"If you want me, you still want a dog." The limit of "you" is very broad.

"... want a dog."

Zhengchun and Ah Fu looked at each other for a while, then decisively handed it out.

Ghost Lantern hugged the dog with an indifferent expression on his face.Ah Fu sensed the danger and dared not say a word.

"This is Ah Fu's clothes, dog food, and tableware. He eats three meals a day, and he can only be given a bowl for each meal, otherwise he doesn't know how to control himself at all..." Zheng Chun gave Ghost Lantern another scroll.

"Aren't you pressed for time? Go fast."

"Thank you, teacher."

"You're welcome, idiot disciple."

Does this count as "holding the emperor to order the princes"?

Daming's family of three hugged each other and wept in front of her.

"... Matsuchiyo and Aoi Chiyo didn't escape...the ninjas all ran away..." Daimyo's round face was full of tears.

You don't have the money to pay the commission, who will work for you.

Only Mrs. Daming's clothes were relatively neat, and she asked with a clear mind: "Hinata Masazumi, if you have any conditions, just tell me."

"You don't worry too much. I don't want anything. You just need to tell me the destination of this trip." The three of you are a big trouble, but it's still useful.

"Zechhara Castle," Madam said with a wry smile on her well-maintained face, "That is my hometown."

Zheng-chun swallowed the reminder that that place is also the site of the Pure Land sect.

The bright moon is in the sky, weeds are overgrown, insects sing intermittently, and a few unknown waterfowl jump among the reeds.

"The moon is sixteen on the fifteenth day..." Zheng Chun sat on the roof of the car dangling his legs.

Ninjas don't need such a long rest period, but ordinary people and horses do.

"Hinata." Shunzi had hesitated for a quarter of an hour, this was not like her.

"Those mobs, why did you drive us out?"

She asked again, with a serious expression on her face.

"Life is too difficult, I don't want to support you anymore." Zheng Chun's tone was almost severe.

"We... Father and Mother did nothing wrong..." Shunzi was so wronged that he wanted to cry.

"You didn't do anything at all."

"Mother, my hair is grayed out for reviewing official documents! The elders are also working day and night!" The girl cried out loudly, fearing that she would wake up her elderly parents.

The young ninja had no scruples at all. She stood up and said in a condescending voice:

"Madam has reviewed so many official documents, but none of the policies that benefit the people have been implemented everywhere! The elders are arguing in the hall every day, but there is no one sentence that is not for their own interests! The superiors think that as long as they make random decisions, people will bow their heads Listen quietly, they are all wrong!"

"The common people will care if you live and sleep in a luxurious palace? Under your rule, they lost their livelihoods, their families, and their dignity as human beings! They grow food, weave cloth, mine and log for you, and they protect you. The safety of you and the country...Why should all the fruits of this be yours? They still have nothing?"

"Do you know how the nobles in each city oppress the people? Do you know that your parents' orders are just a dead letter to them? Do you know how they sow discord among the ninjas? You don't know! You just feel at ease lying on the ground on the flesh and blood of an unknown number of people!"

Shunzi was tongue-tied, her face pale.

"Tomorrow we will pass by Haoli Village, open your eyes and have a look." Zhengchun turned and left.

"Bones are exposed in the wild, and there are no chickens crowing for thousands of miles." Villages are rarely seen along the way, not only because of the need to hide their whereabouts, but also because the population has withered too much.

The carriage drove slowly into the village, the sound of gunfire in the dilapidated thatched hut stopped abruptly, and a few children poked their heads out secretly.

"Is this possible?" Hyuga clansmen asked Masaru hesitantly.

"It's okay, aren't there no ninjas around here?" The girl in white shirt and black hakama jumped out of the carriage and knocked on the wall of the carriage. Ji Jun, who was dressed the same as her, raised the curtain after a while.

Zheng-chun glanced at the bruises under Shunzi's eyes, said nothing, and just handed her a bag of rice balls.

Sunja walked stiffly towards the low house.

"There is nothing left in the village, all distinguished guests, please go back." The hoarse voice startled her, and the rice balls were scattered on the ground.

Sunja instinctively looked at her parents in the carriage, and the daimyo couple responded with silence.

"We have no malice... Please accept these." She held the rice ball with only half a bag left in a bit of embarrassment.

"The old man thanked the distinguished guests. The villagers should come back after taking part in the capital. Please leave as soon as possible. This is not a place for wealthy people to come."

Shunzi became more courageous: "Your voice is very weak, do you need me to call Yu...Do you want the doctor to look at it for you?"

The people in the room laughed miserably: "Thank you for your kindness. My legs were cut off by the noble's eagle dog, and I will never take them back. Although you are of noble birth, you have the virtue of living well. Buddha will bless you."

"I..." Shunzi looked back in a panic, this time she looked at Zhengchun.The ninja nodded at her.

As the group left, several children who could no longer tell whether they were small animals or humans rushed out of the house, fighting over the mixture of dust and rice on the ground.

Masahiro muffled Sunja's screams with her hands, her fingers wet with tears.

"Namo Amitabha..." The people in the room sighed.
