[Slow Wear] Assassin System

Go to war

"Does it still hurt?" said the clear voice, "Be patient a little longer, and we'll be fine..."

In the deep darkness, this voice was a little fuzzy and could only be vaguely understood, but it was as gentle as ever, and it seemed to be intentional, trying to make people completely addicted.

After the sound, the warm feeling gradually spread, as if someone hugged him tightly, this time it was the sense of touch—then followed by the sense of smell and taste, and finally the sense of sight.

Orinobu Soki knew all the details clearly, because he didn't know how many times he had experienced all of this, maybe in a dream, maybe on that particular, full moon night.

The sense of smell recovered, and a light and light breath floated up. It was not very fragrant, but it was a completely different smell from the usual one. Zhixin Zongqi had long been used to the thick and thick incense, and the stench like the tarsus was only heavy. Only incense can cover up one or two. He didn't know how long he hadn't gotten rid of these disgusting things. The light breath was like snow water, washing his nasal cavity full of blood and stench.

It's slightly different from the usual scent, this time it seems to be mixed with a faint fragrance, maybe it's the fragrance of flowers?Is it cherry blossoms?Has it come to the cherry blossom season?

The fragrance of the cherry blossoms is very elegant, and you can only smell a little bit of the juice after crushing the petals. Zhixin Zongqi has long forgotten when he did these things last time, maybe when he was young?After all, he no longer cared about such boring things after he was ten years old, and since he became an adult, even if he wanted to, he could no longer smell normal smells.

Gradually, vision recovered, and the owner of the voice and breath finally appeared in front of him.

Just like the voice, there seems to be a layer of sight separated, Zhixin Zongqi can only see the vague outline through the blur, at this time the person holding him is a young man, his face is blurred, his body should be He was wearing a simple robe, so plain that there were no complicated patterns.

Behind the man is a large room, a building of this size is not suitable for ordinary people to live in.

Zhixin Muneki heard a sound similar to the howling of a wild animal overflowing from his throat - to be precise, it did not belong to his throat, but belonged to an escaped sacrifice.

The sacrifice found a shelter for him, and he did not slip into the abyss of his fall.

The number of souls and lives devoured by Zhixin Zongqi is countless. He is not worried that any prey will escape, because all the creatures entangled with his filthy breath will eventually fall into ghosts, until they rot into mud, and finally enshrine all their power give him.

His power is so poisonous that nothing can escape it.

No, there are still exceptions, such as the spear of the Asakawa family, the spear that has given birth to Fusangshen may have stayed in the shrine, and it is clean and clean, and it turned against the person who destroyed him a few years ago I.

Is the patron saint of the Asakawa family... that is indeed a very beautiful divine weapon, should it be hidden in Yuguang's hands now?

But now that Fusangshen should not be able to do this. His territory has expanded to such an extent that there will be nothing in the world that can restrain him.

Even gods should be able to eat it, right?Do you know if there are any gods in this world?

The vaguely outlined man seemed to be patting him on the back, as if coaxing a child, Orinobu Muneki despised this kind of kind comfort, but this action made by this man was not annoying.

"...Is it better?" He asked softly, his voice passing by his ears like the wind, "...it will be soon."

The surrounding scene became more and more blurred, finally rippling and breaking like water waves, and finally fell into darkness. The tip of the nose became clearer and clearer. , like a declaration—

The dream is over.

The daimyo who was leaning on the main seat opened his eyes.

What falls into sight is the ever-changing luxurious inner room, and layers of curtains split this space into countless ghosts hiding all kinds of filth.

Someone was kneeling outside the room door, and it was this person who interrupted his sweet dreams——Zhi Guangxiu.

Zhixin Zongqi straightened up and knocked on the handle of the knife impatiently. At the same time, a kneeling child under him slowly got up, revealing a handsome face.

The child's face is almost exactly the same as that of Zhixin Zongqi when he was young. He smiled before saying a word, looking extremely cute: "Father, then I will go!"

Zhixin Zongqi nodded towards the puppet: "Go, Zongyi."

Oranobu Muneyoshi, Oranobu Muneki's "eldest son", will grow up like an ordinary child, and will take over the position of the Governor of the Oroshin family after the identity of "Orinobu Muneki" ages.

He is the brand-new body that Oranobu Soki has prepared for his future—although it doesn’t matter what body he changes, regardless of whether he is male, female, old or young, it is the same for him.

The boy walked around layers of curtains briskly, and finally pushed open the door of the inner room. Standing in front of the respectfully kneeling general, he said crisply, "Lord Zhiguang, my lord father let you in."

Zhi Guangxiu bowed his head respectfully: "Thank you for the transmission, Eldest Young Master."

After saluting, he got up slowly, bowed and entered the inner room filled with thick incense, layers of curtains were lifted silently in front of him, like the gates of hell opened one by one, making Zhi Guangxiu's breath choked.

When he walked to the last curtain, where he could vaguely see the daimyo in armor on the main seat, Zhi Guangxiu knelt down again.

The young eldest son let out a soft laugh, like a contemptuous mockery, he lifted the curtain, and threw himself into his father's arms affectionately: "My lord, I brought General Zhiguang in."

His loving father praised: "Zong Yi, you have done a good job."

Zhi Guangxiu knelt under his seat, terrified when he heard it.

Over the years, he has followed the lord in the south and north, and witnessed how much the lord loves his eldest son. This child is indeed extraordinary, and he has received countless praises at a young age, but every time Zhi Guangxiu kneels in front of him, there will be a kind of surprise. An ominous illusion.

For some reason, he instinctively feared the young heir of the master's family.

"Mingxiu, didn't I say don't bother me today?" Zhixin Zongqi's voice was not loud, but was as gentle and friendly as ever. He has always been like this since he ascended the position of family governor. The head of the family never needs to speak. Use too loud a voice.

Chi Mitsuhide lowered his head: "My lord, according to the latest information, two more daimyos have been added to the list of daimyos targeting us."

To Zhi Guangxiu, this information is a big deal. Although it is not the first time that Nobushi’s siege network has been organized, the forces involved this time have set a new record. Just looking at the list makes people shudder. .

Oranobu Muneki's voice is still the same tone: "Then, what makes you afraid?"

Zhi Guangxiu lowered his head even lower: "Snow Mountain Senqing Clan in the Northwest, and Yuguang Clan in the Six Kingdoms of Kansai."

The Senqing family has a long history. It is said that they trained soldiers on the snow-capped mountains. Their army is unmatched in bravery. They even created a miracle of 300 people killing thousands of enemies. The Yuguang clan has risen in recent years, and they have conquered six countries in succession. None lost.

Zhi Guangxiu is very vigilant about this.

After hearing his report, Zhixin Zongqi didn't have any doubts, on the contrary, the eldest son laughed first, and the child's sharp laughter echoed in the luxurious inner room, which seemed a bit gloomy.

"Senqing? Is it Senqing who has had poor harvests year after year? Do they have food and grass to join the war...or do they want to use war to support war and rob their allies' land?"

After commenting on Sen Qing, the Eldest Young Master joked about Yu Guang again: "The Kansai Yu Guang clan... that's pretty good, don't they have many powerful generals? Yu Guang daimyo also raised a musketeer team, really interesting, my lord father , I want to meet them for a while."

"You are still too young." Zhixin Zongqi smiled softly, "Unfortunately, your wish will probably come to nothing. After all, when you grow up, Yuguang and Senqing will no longer exist in the world. How can it be? It's just a group of rabbits trying to defeat the tiger."

Zhixinzong Qi paused, and added: "However, Kansai Yuguang clan is interesting. It has never been defeated in eight years of fighting? I want detailed information on all the generals of Yuguang clan."

Zhi Guangxiu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the order from the lord. Having an order meant that his behavior was not a big mistake. He quickly took the order, but was stopped when he was about to retreat.

Zhixin Zongqi stroked the saber at his waist: "There should be some generals in the Yuguang family who use guns, you should pay attention to this."

"My lord father wants a magic weapon." The eldest son added with a smile, "Yuguang's family hides a good gun."

"By the way, let's send another message to Kyano." Oronobu Soki got up and strode down the steps, "I once asked him to find a ghost—the ghost still retains the appearance of a human being, and was killed by a human with spiritual power. Take it in or take it in, every six months when it encounters a full moon night, it will regenerate its bones—Kyono has not given me a letter yet."

Kyono refers to Kyono Tadaji, who is also a general of the Zhixin family. He is mainly responsible for assassination guards and intelligence, and he is also in charge of mysterious affairs.

But listening to the lord jokingly talking about Kyano's surname - if he can't give the answer that satisfies the lord as soon as possible, Kyano... I'm afraid he will die.

Zhi Guangxiu only felt chills all over his body, and a feeling of sorrow for the death of a rabbit and a fox came to his heart immediately.

"Yes!" He replied loudly, and then fled away from the extravagant room.

-----

The temperature is getting warmer, the arrival of spring is accompanied by sunny weather, and the wedding of Hime-kun of the Deba Clan is held smoothly, which has become a grand event to be celebrated by the entire Dewa Territory.

This year was a relatively peaceful and harmonious year. The Dewa clan did not engage in war, and envoys from various countries came and went on the border. Information about the Zhixin clan was shared harmoniously. Everyone spurned the common enemy together, and hypocritical feelings quickly spread. heat up.

Yu Guangzhong was writing nasty letters to respond to these equally affectionate letters. To be honest, his education level is not enough to cope with the daimyo who write poems every now and then, but are the poems attached to the letters by these daimyos written by themselves? up for debate.

So Yu Guangzhong went to find the gunman without hesitation. He didn't have time to spend on these things. The busy internal affairs were enough to make him unable to stop. Returned to calm.

Also when summer came, the newly married Yu Guang Ning Ning announced the good news that she gave birth to a new life. Among other things, the overjoyed Izumi Shigerei immediately prepared it for her unborn grandchildren. The name, the girl is called Xia Fei, and the boy is called Chongyi.

Compared with previous years, this year's autumn was not considered a bumper harvest, but there was a slight surplus, filling up Yuguang Zhongzheng's warehouse that was not full at all.

In the absence of mobilization of the army, Yu Guangzhong is more inclined to lower taxes to support the people, but he is still a man who wants to conquer the world after all, and he cannot stop training in his hands. At the same time, the more expensive Musketeers must train well.

The musketeers have demonstrated their value in the long years of battle, and the next enemy of the Yu Guangshi is Zhixin, so the significance of the musketeers is even more important.

It was obviously a peaceful year, but the atmosphere in the army became more and more tense. In previous years, there were constant victories that inspired people, but now their Yuguang was finally ready to climb the peak of weaving letters. All the generals agreed Anticipation and fear.

The Zhixin family has already occupied most of the territory on this continent. When the second siege network was announced to be broken, Zhixin Zongqi was a well-deserved man in the world, and if this time the siege failed again, Then this country will sooner or later become the property of his throne, and the remote north and Kansai will not be spared.

There are about fifteen forces participating in the alliance, the most special of which is probably the Buddhist sect. The monks act as messengers between the daimyos. They denounce the evil deeds of the devil king and complain for the people who have fallen into hell.

The vast majority of these monks are extraordinary people with spiritual light. The connection between Zayuki and them is very close, and Yuguang Zhongzheng does not interfere. , and only Miao Xuan still learns music from this Zen master.

This year's cold winter and New Year arrived together. In this troubled world, Yuguang Territory has had a rare and peaceful year. Yuguang Zhongzheng has integrated his army, and at the same time received the blessings of the rest of his allies.

In the early spring of the following year, a sudden incident completely detonated the entire anti-faith alliance, and crowned them with justice—the royal monarch living in the deep palace actually issued an edict through the hand of the praying witch to summon the heroes of the world to come forward. To attack the rebellious Zhixin family, the imperial edict not only complained about the ten crimes of Zhixin Zongqi, but also blatantly used the name of the devil king, which completely confirmed Zhixin Zongqi's notoriety.

Miao Xuan was a little confused when he saw the copied edict. In his opinion, this thing should have flowed out when the Buddhist temple was burned back then. Since the emperor backed down back then, there is no reason to muster up his courage now. It seems that it has something to do with the daimyo's alliance.

And Zhixin Zongqi's response to this was even more straightforward-after the edict came out, the emperor immediately fell ill, and then died of a serious illness within three months. The queen also fell ill and passed away, and the two-year-old crown prince became the new emperor, and Zhixin Zongqi personally carried him to the throne.

At this point, there is no room for detours in the crusade against the Demon King. When the cherry blossoms are completely falling, armies from all over the world embark on the journey.

-----

Miao Xuan looked at the letter in his hand, and heaved a sigh of relief, while Izumi Shigemitsu, who was sitting beside him, was already laughing so hard that his teeth could not see his eyes.

In fact, the delivery time of the letter was delayed. Ning Ning had already given birth half a month ago. She gave birth to a boy successfully. His daimyo, Shigerei Izumi.

Yu Guangzhong was sitting on the main seat in the tent, and there was a pile of letters piled up in his hand, but he was not in the mood to look at these things now, he just leaned lazily on the seat: "Chongguang, are you the chief?" Brother—this child is the first child of the next generation of the Izumi family, right?"

Izumi Shigemitsu smirked: "Yes! I have a child!"

Yu Guangzhong nodded, "Everything is fine with Ningning, you can rest assured about Dragon Spear."

In this era, the risk of women giving birth is not small. Even if Ning Ninggui is a princess, it is difficult to guarantee her safety. Miao Xuan is really relieved: "Then the next thing we need to care about is the next battle."

The joint armies of the daimyos have already left their respective territories, and so has the Yuguang clan's army, and Yuguang Zhongzheng personally leads the team as always.

Their destination this time is Dazhong, a small country north of Kansai. This country itself does not have much power or territory, but it is directly connected to the Zhixin clan's territory, and it is very likely to become the loot of the Zhixin clan's southward journey. The lord of Daozhong has no choice but to accept the great southwestern forces of the Anti-Weaving Letter Alliance and let them gather on the land of Daozhong.

The encirclement net against Oronobu Soki is approaching inward from all directions. Yuguangshi participated in the battle in the southwest, and at the same time there will also be army invasions in the north and southeast. The three parties work together to force the Orobushi clan in the center. .

Once their siege is successful, the collapsed Zhixin Clan will become a huge piece of fat for all the daimyos to share.

If it fails, then no one can talk about the future, but if it succeeds, Yuguang Zhongzheng also has his own plan: he will not contaminate the torn apart territory of the Zhixin clan, but he will not hesitate to accept the countries he passes through on the way north. At that time, Zhixin's land will be torn apart by many forces, and he only needs to fight steadily.

Yu Guangzhong didn't have the lifelong dream of a daimyo in this era, and he didn't have any interest in Shangluo, let alone a special trip to Kyoto for it.

There was a commotion outside the camp, and soon there were soldiers bringing envoys from other forces to visit. Most of these envoys were monks, and the envoys of the Yuguang clan were no exception. The person representing Yuguang's integrity was none other than Zen Master Zaixue.

Compared with the army already stationed in Daozhong, Yu Guangzhong is far behind because of the remoteness of the territory. Others are still on the way, but the small-scale struggle on the border of Daozhong has already begun.

Probably because the time for the general attack has not yet arrived, and the allies who are in the top are ready to move, so fighting generals before the battle has become the best way. individual head.

Yu Guangzhong was in a bad mood when he heard the news. Even though the envoy was still in the hall, he asked unabashedly: "Are those people fools? Why use the most innocuous method to test ? And boost the morale of the enemy?"

The emissary was a monk, but he was the kind who could only chant Buddha's name in mouth. He muttered and couldn't speak.

Yuguang Zhongzheng's style is to fight steadily and be prone to thunder. The behavior of these allies made him a little puzzled. He frowned: "Who is the Zhixin general stationed in Daozhongwai?"

The messenger would answer this question, and he immediately answered: "It's Kyono Tadaji, the cruel demon under the Demon King's banner. He killed many innocent people!"

Yu Guangzhong sneered: "... Hey, it's amazing."

Yuguang Zhongzheng has also collected information about this general, but his information is more normal. There are no magical and meaningless modifiers such as "devil king" or "heavenly demon". His sneer is aimed at allies and The monk went, although he didn't have much hope for his allies, but this incident lowered his expectations again.

What's more annoying than challenging the big devil... Maybe while fighting the big devil, you bring a group of stupid teammates who will hold you back?

Yuguang Zhongzheng swung the messenger: "I hope my allies are not all of this kind, they sound like go-betweens sent by Zhixin Zongqi."

The generals laughed, and Yu Guangzhong issued an order: "We must speed up, we must arrive at Daozhong within two days, and then regroup after the rest in Daozhong and foreign countries."

Yu Guangzhong thought for a while and then ordered: "You can't be inferior to others in terms of morale. This Kyono Tadami must be defeated by the general. We must win the beautiful dragon gun! Can I hand him over to you?"

Miao Xuan got up and took the order: "Yes."

"Okay!" Yuguang Zhongzheng also got up, "The Musketeers are following my personal guard camp and are on standby at any time. Everyone obeys the order and leaves in a quarter of an hour."

The soldiers led back to their respective teams, and the soldiers in the camp began to prepare for the march. Miao Xuan's duties were more complicated. This time he was in command of the cavalry team. affairs.

The tents have been closed one after another. Dao Gui walked to Miao Xuan holding the sword. The arrows on the battlefield could not hurt him. He was not wearing armor. It seemed that something was bothering him. He hesitated for a moment, but still pulled Miao Xuan's sleeve: "I want to leave for a few days."

Miao Xuan was taken aback: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Sword Ghost has always been silent, and he only went out for two things, one was to kill ghosts, and the other was to find the demon god who had swallowed part of his soul.

"The last time the bones grew...I could feel it." Dao Gui whispered, "The location of that thing."

Every half a year, the bones of the sword ghost will regenerate once. These bones can certainly become the armor covering the surface, but once they accumulate, they will cause greater damage to the sword ghost. Every time they regenerate, the bones need to be broken. The process is very painful.

Dao Gui has been enduring this kind of ordeal for so many years, but he went north several times, but he couldn't find the trace of the demon god once.

Miao Xuan: "Can you feel it already?!"

"Yes." Daogui nodded, showing a somewhat confused expression, "The feeling is getting clearer and clearer, it is still farther north, and it has been moving... Its smell is very smelly and fragrant, it is very unpleasant."
