Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 351 God

Tsubakiya Kona was bandaging Fujiwara Himeka's wound, and when the bandage was wrapped around her chest, she playfully touched it.

She and Kanon are both Fujiwara Himeka's people, yes, that kind of relationship.

This is just a little fun between three young lovers.

But Fujiwara Himeka was in no mood at all at the moment.

While Tsubakiya Kona was bandaging her wounds, she thought about it carefully again and concluded that those sudden ninjas must have been brought by Jinghai Baldy.

Following this line of thought, she had already guessed why Monk Jinghai did this.

On the one hand, the Heike clan was so powerful that it was inevitable that some people would be indecisive, and Monk Jinghai was obviously one of them.

On the other hand, she heard a piece of news that the abbot of Enryakuji Temple in Kyoto intended to replace Monk Jinghai with a close confidant who had followed him for many years to serve as the abbot of Daisenji Temple.

Enryakuji Temple is the superior Zen temple of Daisenji Temple and has the authority to manage Daisenji Temple.

Although the head of a temple is not so easy to replace, if the temples and shrines in the Hakata area perform poorly in dealing with the invasion of the Heike forces, then he will have every reason to revolt.

Regardless of whether this matter is true or false, since she has heard about it, Jinghai cannot possibly not know about it.

Therefore, Jinghai had a motive to defect to the Heike clan, and he was also the only one who knew his whereabouts today.

Jinghai, bald donkey!
There was a hint of murderous intent in Fujiwara Himeka's eyes!
She slapped away Tsubakiya Konai's mischievous little hand in a reproachful manner, gave her a fierce look, quickly put on her inner kimono again, and stood up.

Yazawa Kanon took a clean dress, and Fujiwara Himeka calmly put on her clothes under her help, put the "Edang" on her head, and said in a deep voice: "The ninja has followed to the shrine, let's go out and take a look."

After opening the shoji door and walking from the depths of the palace to the bright front hall, I saw a priestess running into the hall in a panic, and then she let out a scream and fell to the ground.

There was a shuriken stuck in her back. It was a single-pointed shuriken, similar to a dart, which hit her right in the back. It was obvious that she could not survive.

Tsubakiya Kona and Yazawa Kanon immediately raised their swords and rushed to the door of the temple. When they looked outside, Tsubakiya Kona turned back in surprise and shouted, "Lord Shinto, the ninja has already entered the shrine."

Fujiwara Himeka rushed to the door and couldn't help cursing, "Kamimura Hitoshi, that bastard!"

When she just returned to the inner room to bandage her wounds, Shencun Shengji was still in the main hall.

In other words, Kamura was aware of the chaotic situation in the shrine.

But after discovering the chaos in the shrine, as a husband, he failed to take on the responsibility of protecting her and did not even send anyone to warn her.

Fujiwara Himeka raised her sword and said murderously: "Let's kill them!"

As soon as the three of them rushed to the corridor, they heard Kamimura's usual strange cry: "Himeka, save me, ah ah ah..."

The three of them turned their heads and saw Kamura Rishang running towards them from the corridor, his hands waving like a woman's. He was only wearing one shoe, and now he had run away.

Behind him, two ninjas were chasing him fiercely.

"What bad luck!" Fujiwara Himeka waved her hand and Tsubakiya Kona came forward.

Regardless, as a hereditary Mii, Kamura's daily presence is still somewhat useful to her in controlling the power of the Shrine.

Although Fujiwara Himeka looked down on this waste, she still wanted to save him if possible.

Immediately, Fujiwara Himeka raised her sword and led Yazawa Kanon to rush towards several ninjas who were fighting with samurai in the square in front.

The ninjas fighting in the shrine are from two factions, one is Iga and the other is Koga.

The Iga school places the greatest emphasis on individual cultivation and ability, while the Koga school places the greatest emphasis on group cooperation.

The two factions have had different focuses from the beginning, and as they developed, they summed up many unique experiences and methods in their respective areas of expertise.

Ninjas are mainly engaged in reconnaissance and assassination. Skilled assassins and spies, or assassins and spies who are not so skilled but can work together perfectly, actually all have their own strengths.

In some situations, individuals play a greater role, while in some actions, group cooperation is more likely to succeed.

Therefore, the strength and fame of the Iga and Koga factions are almost equal.

But this time, Ono Mingxi issued a recruitment order to them with a large sum of money, to select a force from among them to travel to a foreign country and carry out a major operation to assassinate the monarch of that country.

This incident immediately alarmed the two major sects, Iga and Koga.

Hattori-sama of the Iga faction sent out all the most elite ninjas from the 49 Yamabushi houses.

The grandmaster of the Koga school, Hayato Ohtomo, even issued a mobilization order to all Koga ninjas on Mt. Iidō.

It’s not that the huge reward offered by Ono Mingxi is enough to alarm the spiritual leaders of the two major factions who have been dormant for a long time.

Rather, it is because whoever can win this task and successfully complete the important task of assassinating the foreign monarch, then the dispute over which family is stronger, Iga or Koga, will have a conclusion.

This was a major event that concerned the future generations of the sect, so the best warriors from both sects were dispatched.

Most of those who arrived in Hakata area first were Chunin-level disciples from the two major sects. They did not think that they would be entrusted with such a glorious and sacred mission, but they had to come to such a grand event.

At this time, they received the second order from Ono Akihiro to assassinate the leaders of temple and shrine organizations in the Hakata area.

Among them, Fujiwara no Himeka, who was the most popular, was the first target of their assassination.

In the end, she ran away?
This made the ninjas give up their advantage in assassination and pursue them relentlessly to the Whale Sea Palace.

They must ensure the success of the first battle at all costs!
……

Fire broke out in all directions.

The fire made Fujiwara no Himeka's party even more angry, and they instinctively thought that it was set by the ninjas.

Yang Yuan crouched in a high place, calmly observing the chaotic battle scene, and finally he found the location of Fujiwara Himeka.

Because the ninjas were all dressed in green and covered their faces with hoods, while the samurai and clergy were all dressed in white. The two sides were clearly distinguished and it was easy to tell their camps apart.

On the side of the clergy and shrine warriors, only the female warrior who was wielding a sword and killing everyone was wearing a black gauze hat on her head.

It seems that the hat of Dongfang Bubai in the movie has a prototype. With such an obvious symbol, Yang Yuan couldn't help but see it. Yang Yuan picked up the knife, put his hand under the eaves, turned down nimbly, and then jumped forward, hooked a big pillar, slid down to the ground quickly, and rushed towards Fujiwara Himeka.

"It was Xiao Ye Ming Xi who asked you to come, right? Did Jing Hai Bald Donkey team up with Xiao Ye Ming Xi?"

Fujiwara Himeka roared angrily, stabbed a ninja who gritted his teeth and refused to say a word to death with a sword, and rushed to the next one.

Yang Yuan rushed over.

The other man moved forward with the knife, his feet erratic. With every move, the knife in his hand would kill someone at an angle that made it impossible to dodge.

Among those who died under his sword were samurai in white and ninjas in blue.

"It's you!"

Fujiwara Himeka's eyes narrowed and she took the initiative to attack Yang Yuan.

"Dang, dang, dang" three consecutive slashes of the sword. An inexplicable force made Fujiwara Himeka's mouth numb and she could hardly hold the sword.

Fujiwara Himeka was shocked. Could it be that this person had developed hidden power?

For a moment, Fujiwara Himeka felt as if she was facing her master, the swordsman Kamiizumi Munehide.

No, he is not that strong. If I hadn't been injured in my shoulder, I wouldn't have lost so quickly.

Fujiwara no Himeka thought unconvincedly while running towards her bedroom.

Under her bedroom, there was a secret passage that even her husband Kamura Masahiro didn't know about.

It was after she became the chief priest that she ordered her confidant Tsubakiya Kona to oversee its construction.

Now that the shrine has been breached and the palaces are burning, there is no need to hold on any longer.

She had to stay alive. Only by staying alive could she kill the bald donkey Jinghai, the profiteer Xiaoye, and that damned Yang Sanyuan from the Song Dynasty!
"Xiao Nai, Huayin, retreat!"

Fujiwara Himeka ran away while screaming, and even took a moment to look back.

She originally thought that since Yang Sanyuan wanted to kill her people and those ninjas, after she gave up the fight and fled, Yang Yuan would take the opportunity to kill the people fighting around him to vent his anger and would not chase after her.

But when she turned around, she saw that the damn Yang Sanyuan was still chasing her.

When Tsubakiya Kona heard Fujiwara Himeka's shout, she immediately understood what her lover meant.

She ran quickly to the front of the hall, only to find the door closed to her surprise.

Xiaonai pushed it in surprise, but it didn't move away.

"Damn it!"

Xiao Nai kicked hard, and the tall and heavy palace door was finally kicked open enough for one person to pass through.

There was a scream of "Ouch" from inside, and then a person was seen lying on the ground with his butt raised high. This was exactly what happened to Kamimura every day.

After being rescued, the guy fled into the hall and closed the door with great effort.

However, the wooden bolt used to lock the palace gate weighed more than 200 pounds, and had to be lifted to shoulder level before it could be dropped. He could not lock the door by himself, so he had to lean his butt against the door.

As a result, Tsubakiya Kona kicked him and knocked him to the ground.

Fujiwara Himeka rushed into the hall and shouted, "Quick, Hanane, come in!"

Kanon Yazawa, who was fighting with someone, slashed twice with her sword and walked away.

Fujiwara Himeka originally wanted to wait for her to come in, and then they would work together to bolt the door, so that they could leave calmly.

But just as Yazawa Kanon escaped from the hall, Yang Yuan had already rushed to the stone steps in front of the hall, leaving him no time to lock the door.

"let's go!"

Fujiwara Himeka picked up the knife, turned around and left.

Kamimura Nichiya got up in a panic and shouted, "And me, take me with you, Himeka, take me with you..."

Fujiwara Himeka, Yazawa Kanon, and Tsubakiya Konai were running fast in front, while Kamura followed behind with his sleeves swung and his bare feet making a "clack-clack" sound, like a duck.

Yang Yuan chased into the bedroom, and when he arrived at the back residence, he saw a long and narrow passage with houses on both sides.

Yang Yuan immediately slowed down his pace and moved forward slowly.

There were many rooms on both sides, and he was not sure which house the woman from Ono Mingxi escaped into.

Fujiwara Himeka fled back to her dormitory with Yazawa Kanon and Tsubakiya Konai, and Kamimura Hitoshi immediately followed them in and gave her a seductive smile.

Fujiwara Himeka snorted coldly, not bothering to pay attention to him. She just waved her hand, and Yazawa Kanon gently closed the shoji door.

After a brief silence and no footsteps were heard, Fujiwara Himeka immediately rushed to the "tatami".

She knelt on one knee, lifted it up with all her strength, and pushed forward on a piece of floor, and a dark hole slowly and silently opened.

When Kamura Nichijo saw this, he was overjoyed and praised in a high-pitched voice: "Ah! Thank God, we are saved!"

Fujiwara Himeka turned around suddenly, her eyebrows raised!

Before she could even utter a curse, with a "crack", a samurai sword pierced through the shoji paper and stabbed right into Kamimura Hitoshi's cheek.

"Ah~~, my God!" Kamimura Nishikawa screamed and collapsed to the ground.

With a loud "crash", the shoji door shattered and Yang Yuan and his men rushed in with swords.

As a result, he tripped and fell on Kamimura Hijiri, fell forward, and stabbed Fujiwara Himeka in the face with the knife in his hand.
