[Slow Wear] Assassin System

Seven years later

Seven years later.

The wind in early spring blows softly from the south, taking away the last icy coldness of late winter. For the farming people, the most important thing at this time is spring plowing. They pray for good weather and good weather this year. I also hope that the military disaster will not affect my village.

It is of course impossible for ordinary people to know the general trend of the world today, they only vaguely understand their own affiliation, and those who have extensive knowledge may be able to say the name of the Zhixin family.

The Zhixin clan is the true overlord today. They occupy most of the land on this land. It is said that Zhixin's name is blessed by gods and Buddhas. The territories under his rule are all harvested year after year, which is enviable.

No matter how educated they are, many people have sincerely believed in this from the bottom of their hearts, and even some civilians secretly worship Oroshin Daimyo, thinking that in this way they will get a good harvest and blessings.

Legends related to this have even been compiled into legends and are popular among major towns.

The common people in Kansai are a little different. There may be a few more names on their performance list. The struggle for hegemony in China (central region) seems to have nothing to do with them. They are most concerned about their lord, that is, Kansai. The co-lord of the six kingdoms, the Yuguang clan.

The rise of the Yuguang family in recent years can also be called a romance. In the past eight years, it has unified the six countries. This unprecedented achievement can even be called a miracle. The people in Kansai like Yuguang daimyo's battle interpretation most. And what they talk about most is the notation of famous generals.

At the market in the town, a scene of a Noh play is being staged. On the stage, the protagonist with a Noh mask is walking in a circle with special steps, singing loudly an easy-to-understand ballad, which is exactly the lyrics and music that describe the emotions of young women , and another supporting role as a maid sets off the protagonist everywhere, making the wedding scene vivid.

This drama is called "Big Marriage", and it tells the story of Yu Guang's Ji Jun marrying a brave general under Yu Guang's family. A beauty with a hero has always been one of the most popular stories among the people. Chinese public performances can create a grand occasion that is empty for thousands of people, regardless of men, women and children will come to watch.

In fact, Noh was not originally a common opera, but since Kansai belonged to Dewa, there will be Noh plays in major towns every [-] to [-] days, arranging the latest current events—or, the ruler wants to Current events that people need to know.

The hottest thing now is probably Ji Jun’s marriage. The person who married this noble bride is Izumi Shigemitsu, a famous general under Yuguang’s banner. Taking down the three cities, but this remarkable feat has not been sung by many people. After all, in the eyes of the common people, attacking the three cities in succession is just... routine operation, passing the standard.

Because before General Izumi Shigemitsu, Dewa's daimyo and Asakawa Nobu were still standing.

Daimyo Dewa is now in his prime, and he beheaded Daimyo Goda when he was just a fledgling. The legends related to him are of course very popular, and Nobuyuki Asakawa...

Compared with the praises of brave generals, wise generals, and Confucian generals that ordinary generals may not get, this general named Nobu Asakawa is known as a "divine general".

In the past seven years, he has never been defeated. No matter whether it is a battle general, a cavalry, or a handsome soldier attacking the city, no one can stop Asakawa Xuan's edge. His weapon is a long spear, and there is no one at the point of the spear pointing. Enemy.

People agreed that if Asakawa Nobuki and the Dewa family had an uncle-nephew relationship, the good thing about marrying the princess would not be the Izumi family's turn.

The people who played the role of the princess and the maid on the stage have slowly left the stage with the rhythm, and then the protagonist who appeared on the stage is another protagonist of this drama, the bridegroom officer.

The actor in the general's armor held up a fake knife and announced his identity and achievements loudly. Then he happily praised the beauty of the princess and the wisdom of the lord, and even mentioned a few other brave generals. Who wrote it, from the top to the bottom, it is comprehensive, and it is really a master of public relations.

What's more, in order to highlight the hero's bravery, the plot also arranges a lot of free cannon fodder. They are "the enemy who invaded suddenly", "the villain who is jealous of the general's talent" and "the monster who covets the beauty of the princess". He walked back and forth a few times with a fake knife, beheading them all under the horse.

The emotions of the crowd were aroused by the twists and turns of the plot, and there were two men standing outside the crowded crowd. They were all tall and tall, and their identities were confirmed by the armor on their bodies. The cloak wraps him tightly.

The man in the cloak looked at it very seriously, and would reach out and grab the sleeve of his companion when he saw the key plot.

The plot finally reached the last stage, and the audience held their breaths waiting for the happy ending. This stage showed that the wedding was held as scheduled. The general and the princess entered the arena from both sides of the stage. They circled around, dancing with juniper fans and wooden swords Mimic the first sighting of a mythical god in front of a pine wall.

The rhythm of the music became more and more cheerful. At the last beat of the drum, the two protagonists on the stage finally faced each other. Their fans and wooden knives lightly joined together, spinning lingeringly in the air, and the audience cheered sincerely. There was thunderous applause.

The crowd parted reluctantly as the actors exited after paying tribute.

The man in the bamboo hat also left with his companion, but his companion couldn't let go of the drama. He asked softly, "Teacher, will Ningning's wedding be like this?"

"Of course not." The man in the bamboo hat laughed, "It's all a scene that has been processed artistically. It's impossible for a real wedding to have so many supporting actors to spoil the situation... Let's not say that it's time for a truce, just those who dare to kidnap the bride Ghosts don't exist."

"...Oh." Hearing what the teacher said, the man in the cloak was a little disappointed, "No."

His teacher understood the student's thoughts as soon as he heard it, and he said with a smile: "If the sword ghost wants to contribute to Ning Ning's wedding, then it's good to come to marry Ning Ning. As the woman's family, we will work together with Zhongzheng Ning Ning sent to the shrine."

Daogui was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Yeah."

This time, he agreed. Although Dao Gui has always disliked Zhongzheng Yuguang very much, this time is a lifelong event for Ning Ning, and Dao Gui is willing to endure and make concessions.

Dao Gui's teacher is very pleased, although with his deliberate guidance, after seven years, Dao Guipei and Ning Ning finally cultivated a sincere family relationship, and the bond between them as brothers and sisters has become stronger and stronger.

Miao Xuan patted the student on the shoulder: "Then it's settled, I'll take you on the itinerary for the wedding day tomorrow."

Sword Demon: "..."

Knowing that he was being tricked again, Dao Gui lowered his head and said sullenly, "...Oh."

-----

The wedding date is approaching, but there are no female relatives in the Yuguang clan, and even Miao Xuan is barely left behind in the father's generation. In addition, Ning Ning has experienced a failure before, so the wedding this time is not so traditional.

Except for unchangeable traditional links such as going to the shrine, the rest of the celebrations are kept simple.

But no matter how simple it is, this is a marriage of great significance, and it was just after the Yuguang family occupied the six kingdoms of Kansai, so the form on the scene is absolutely indispensable.

A play performed in a large town is a good example, and it can be regarded as a positive encouragement for the people who changed masters.

Miao Xuan returned to the Honmaru with the sword ghost, Yu Guangshi's Honmaru was very busy, the attendants and maids were in a hurry, and everyone was holding various things in their hands.

The Honmaru has been rebuilt in bits and pieces over the past few years, but the people living in it have not changed. Yuguang Zhongzheng and Yuguang Ningning, Miao Xuan, who is his uncle in name, and the sword he carries with him ghost.

This patchwork family has also gathered less and more in these years. Ning Ning usually only stays in the main pill or goes to the stable territory to relax, while Yu Guangzhong is constantly fighting, and Miao Xuan will spend most of the time with him. He went out to fight, while Dao Gui jumped back and forth between killing ghosts and going north to find demons, and followed Miao Xuan for the rest of the time.

It's a pity that for so many years, the sword ghost has traveled all over the mountains and wild forests and killed many evil spirits, but there is not even a clue of the demon god.

His missing soul still cannot be replenished, and he has to suffer from the pain of bone growth every six months.

Miao Xuan could not provide any help for this, and Zen Master Zaixue could do nothing—this monk is indeed not an ordinary person. After so many years, his appearance is the same as that of Miao Xuan, the Fusangshen, and there is no difference from ten years ago. I am also as jealous as ever.

The maids saluted one after another as they passed by Miao Xuan. They were all holding piles of cloth in their hands. Ning Ning's dowry had reached the final stage of arrangement.

It wasn't until this time that Miao Xuan had a little awareness that Ning Ning was going to get married. Before that, he had no idea at all, and he believed that the sword ghost was the same.

Miao Xuan asked him: "I want to visit Ningning first, Zhongzheng should be there, are you coming?"

Dao Gui is almost alienated from everyone's emotions, and his likes and dislikes seem to have lost more than half of it because of the lack of soul. Except for Ning Ning, who is closest to Miao Xuan and will care about him, he has only indifference towards the rest of the people. .

But what is rare is that Daogui hates Zayuki and Yuguang Zhongzheng very much, especially Yuguang Zhongzheng. Daogui hates him so much recently that he turns away when he sees people, and Yuguang Zhongzheng's reaction is similar , They are simply two magnets of the same polarity that cannot be approached, and the dragon gun is probably the only common connection between them.

This time, probably because Ning Ning was about to get married, Sword Ghost nodded after hesitating for a moment.

Miao Xuan felt amused and helpless in his heart, so he led him into the depths of the courtyard.

Ning Ning's courtyard is probably the most elegant place in the entire Honmaru. When early spring comes, the cherry trees in the courtyard are also in bloom. Ning Ning never lets the maid clean it at this time, so the falling petals almost dye the corridor red.

Miao Xuan stepped on the special carpet and walked to the main house. He walked around the half-open door and found another disciple of his in the room.

The petals outside the window fell freely in this courtyard, because of the owner’s love, their shadows can be seen even indoors, a young man sat on the ground by the window, he looked up at the flowers and trees outside the window, as if he was Distracted.

The man's back was straight, and his half-length black hair was tied neatly behind his head. At this time, he was not wearing his most common armor, but was simply wearing a plain jacket with no patterns—he had never liked it. There are exaggerated patterns on the fabric, and this habit has become a proof that the daimyo is thrifty.

Miao Xuan smiled, stepped forward and said, "Zhongzheng, where's Ningning?"

The man seemed to be taken aback when he heard the words, he turned around abruptly, revealing a sharp-edged face, with eyebrows drawn into his temples and the end of his eyes raised, his gaze was as sharp as a knife blade, his decisive military career and the life and death of ruling the territory He has thoroughly polished his character, and only rarely will he reveal the side that only belongs to a teenager.

"Sister is still changing her robe." Yu Guangzhongzheng smiled at first, but when he saw the sword ghost, his smile naturally subsided, "Dragon Gun, didn't you go to the town to kill ghosts today?"

"Yes." Miao Xuan sat down beside him.

He didn't force Dao Gui to sit beside him, so Dao Gui hugged the knife against the wall and turned around halfway childishly, pretending that he didn't see Yuguang Zhongzheng.

Yuguang Zhongzheng: ...

Yuguang Zhongzheng: "Oh."

Miao Xuan deftly changed the topic: "I also saw a new drama released today. It was well acted and the plot was very interesting."

"Can you get the praise of Dragon Spear? It seems that this time the drama is scheduled well." Yu Guangzhong is pushing the teacup over, "I plan to let them wait for another two months for this scene after the wedding, and it will last until the end of the spring plowing. We just conquered Wuchuan Kingdom last year, so it is not appropriate to use troops this year."

"Is this scene going to be scheduled in Wuchuan too..." Miao Xuan nodded, took a sip from the teacup, "You just have to know, there won't be a big battle this year, and last year's encirclement failed again. The big names of all parties should still be very afraid."

This encirclement actually refers to the Zhixin encirclement. The Zhixin family has expanded very rapidly in recent years. Most of the land on this continent has been marked with Zhixin's family crest. In order to resist this heroic overlord, the daimyos United together to form a siege network, hoping to swarm ants and elephants through alliances.

However, the siege network suffered disastrous defeats twice in succession, and all of them became the stepping stones of the Zhixin clan.

Yuguang Zhongzheng's territory is in the west of Kansai, and there are a few small forces as a buffer between the central area where the competition is accumulating. At first glance, the Kansai area is simply a paradise, but unfortunately this situation will not last—— Either the Zhixin clan annexed those small countries and expanded to the southwest, or the Yuguang clan marched into the Central Plains after stabilizing the situation.

This era is sailing against the current, and no one can shrink back.

"Next year will be the third siege, and I will participate in the covenant." Yu Guangzhong knocked on the empty teacup, "Although the time is tight, we must stabilize Wuchuan this year, and farming and business must be on track. I’m going to Wuchuan next, so you can come too.”

Miao Xuan nodded: "Okay, leave after the wedding?"

"Of course...the petals fell on your head." Yu Guangzhong was looking at the smoky pink petals on the top of Longqiang's head, and suddenly his heart moved.

Long Qiang is Fu Sangshen, and he still maintains the appearance when the two first met, but he is already taller than Long Qiang.

"Tonight..." Yu Guangzhong turned his head, looking for reasons everywhere like usual, "Let's go to the hot spring, the cherry blossoms are in bloom, the moonlight is good recently, my sister is getting married again..."

"Sister is getting married again"?It seems that tonight is another Hongmen banquet for Shigemitsu Izumi.

Miao Xuan understood as soon as he heard it, and he nodded solemnly: "Okay."

Yu Guangzhong laughed softly: "Then it's a deal."

"Although there is no need to warn again, Chongguang is going to marry Ningning after all, it's good to warn a few more times, and you are thoughtful." Miao Xuan was relieved in his heart, "Well, I will bring a knife tonight The ghost is here too, the sword ghost hasn't 'meeted' Ningning's future husband properly, has he?"

The man leaning against the wall and holding the knife muffledly replied, "Yes."

Yuguang Zhongzheng: "..."

Yuguang Zhongzheng's smile gradually disappeared: "Heh."

The author has something to say:

Love makes people happy ~ it can also bring torture ~ once walked with you ~ the legendary love river ~ [funny.jpg] [dog head.jpg]

Zhongzheng will not be blackened. He is different from Xiaohei. Xiaohei is a demon with a paranoid personality. He grew up in the environment of the demon world. He has nothing but the teacher is very bright and will go to another perfect world at any time; but the dog Gouzi is different. Gouzi has fixed three views in modern society, and his family has great achievements. He has to be responsible for his own territory and subjects. This kind of environment has polished the character of the overlord. Longqiang is a teacher, a relative, and a loyal subordinate. Respect before love.

The environment has a great influence on the individual, as does the physical state, so people who transcend the times and are physically disabled are very great.
