step on mountains and rivers

"........." Li Zhenwu listened to Tang Qingfeng's answer, A blush rose, and then quickly spread to the face.

Seeing Li Zhenwu's reaction like this, Tang Qingfeng leaned close to his ear.Warm breath blew over Li Zhenwu's auricles, and a soft and deep magnetic voice came:

"Zhenwu is so cute, but how can Huakui compare?"

Li Zhenwu was stunned by Tang Qingfeng's words.Tang Qingfeng looked at the stunned Li Zhenwu and smiled slightly.

At this time, Xiaochun looked at the mountain city not far away, and said loudly to the two behind him:

"My lord, Hyuga Castle has arrived."

After listening to Xiaochun's words, Tang Qingfeng glanced at the distance, and said to Li Zhenwu:

"Zhenwu, let's go, Hyuga Castle is here."

Li Zhenwu was awakened by Tang Qingfeng's voice, nodded and said: "Yes."

After talking, the two walked quickly towards Xiao Chun.

The three of them looked down from the top of the mountain, and they saw wooden buildings with scattered heights built in the valley. The architecture is very Yingzhou style, and it really has a special flavor.

Under Xiao Chun's leadership, Tang Qingfeng and Li Zhenwu walked towards Hyuga City at the foot of the mountain.

When the three of them came to the gate, Xiao Chun said to the warrior at the gate:

"Master Samurai, we are businessmen traveling around, and it is getting dark now, can we go to the city for a night?"

The warrior looked Xiaochun up and down, and then said:

"Originally, it's possible, but something troublesome happened recently. The city lord doesn't allow outsiders to be taken in. You should go."

"Master Samurai, it's time now, where can we go? We are not bad people, sir, you bought something from me a few days ago. Can you be tolerant and let us in?" Xiaochun said.

"It's not that I won't help you, it's really impossible." Just as the samurai finished speaking, the door opened slowly, and a miraculous sedan chair was carried out from the door. On the sedan chair sat a beautiful woman in snow-white clothes.She heard the conversation of several people, glanced at the people at the door, and said softly to the warrior:

"Let them in."

"Yes, my lord princess." The warrior replied.The princess nodded slightly, and was carried away by the sedan chair to a distance.

The samurai brought everyone into the city and found them a place to live.

Inside the residence, Xiaochun looked at the samurai and asked doubtfully:

"Master Samurai, it's so late, where is the princess going?"

Hearing his question, the samurai sighed softly and said:

"Hey!"

"What's going on?" Li Zhenwu asked suspiciously.

The samurai looked at the three of them and said slowly:

"The person in the sedan chair just now is Princess Hyuga, the daughter of the city lord. The princess is gentle and beautiful, and treats people kindly. Even though we are humble, she is very polite to us.

It's a pity that her fate was not good, and she was selected by Yan Mo as a bride.Today, she is going to get engaged, and tomorrow the princess will get married in the hell flower field, and go to the place where Yan Mo is located along the Huahe River. "

"Yan Mo? Is there really such a thing?" Tang Qingfeng asked slightly puzzled after listening to the warrior's words.

Seeing that he was disrespectful to Yan Mo, the samurai immediately stopped him:

"Don't talk nonsense, Master Yan Mo guarded outside Hyuga City for several months, repelled tens of thousands of enemies, and kept our Hyuga City stable and safe from enemy attacks. He is the patron saint of Hyuga, so he naturally exists."

"Really? God wants to marry too?" Tang Qingfeng asked.

The samurai looked at him, hesitated and said:

"Lord Yan Mo needs the blood of the girl to increase his strength so that he can better protect Hinata."

Tang Qingfeng heard his answer, so he asked:

"In that case, the princess is not his bride, but his tribute."

"Shh, as long as you know it, don't say it!" said the warrior.

Tang Qingfeng glanced at him and asked, "Isn't the princess the first?"

"No, four or five were given away before." The samurai replied.

"Tsk." Tang Qingfeng said dissatisfied.

Listening to the warrior's answer, Li Zhenwu asked in confusion:

"Do you have to send it? What will happen if you don't send it?"

"Be sure to give it away. A few days ago, the city lord refused to give it away, which caused the lightning to hit the wooden building, burning down most of the houses and killing many people." The warrior said softly.

"Tianlei, have you seen Yan Mo?" Tang Qingfeng asked.

The warrior shook his head, then said:

"It is said that he is green all over, ten feet tall, has two heads, four arms, and holds a huge hammer. The hammer can release lightning. If a person is hit, he will die immediately."

"Why does this image sound like Lei Gong?" Tang Qingfeng asked.

"What Lei Gong? This is Lord Yan Mo. Lord Yan Mo lives in the cave under the Huahe River and guards Hinata's gate. Without him, how could Hinata be so safe?" Bushido said.

"Really, it's the first time I've heard of the god who eats people to keep people safe. Don't you doubt that it's just a monster?" Tang Qingfeng said.

"Don't talk nonsense, be careful Lord Yan Mo hears it, and kill you with lightning." Said the samurai.

"Well, it's up to you, anyway, this matter has nothing to do with us." Tang Qingfeng replied.

"It has nothing to do with you in the first place. Take a rest for one night and leave quickly. Don't make trouble here." The samurai said and left.

After the warrior left, Tang Qingfeng looked at Li Zhenwu and asked:

"Zhenwu, what do you think Yan Mo could be?"

Li Zhenwu thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't know."

While everyone was talking, the princess's sedan chair was carried back from outside the city.When the miraculous sedan passed by where everyone was, the princess nodded to everyone, and was carried into the inner city.

Li Zhenwu looked at the departing princess and couldn't bear to say:

"Brother Tang, is the princess really going to be sacrificed?"

"Probably." Tang Qingfeng turned back, then looked at Li Zhenwu and asked, "Did Zhenwu say that to help her?"

"Brother Tang, do you have a solution?" Li Zhenwu asked.

"Yes, yes. I just don't know if they will listen." Tang Qingfeng said.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Xiaochun looked a little surprised and said, "My lord, can you save the princess?"

"Yes, what's the matter?" Tang Qingfeng asked.

After hearing Tang Qingfeng's answer, Xiaochun immediately replied:

"My lord, I am a humble businessman. For business reasons, I often come to Hyuga Castle. Princess Hyuga takes good care of me. She is a very kind girl. If you can help her, please help her."

After listening to him, Tang Qingfeng looked at him and said slowly:

"It's not impossible to help her, do you have a way to let me see the city lord?"

After Tang Qingfeng asked, Xiaochun thought for a while, then nodded and said:

"Yes, just wait for me."

"Okay." Tang Qingfeng replied.

After Xiaochun finished speaking, she carried the box and walked out the door.

At the door, after Xiaochun said a few words to the samurai, the samurai looked at him suspiciously and said:

"This, can it work?"

"Okay, you can tell the city owner." Xiaochun said.

"Okay, I'll try it." The samurai said and walked towards the inner city.

When Xiaochun returned to his residence, Tang Qingfeng looked at him and asked:

"How is the arrangement?"

"Well, my lord, wait a moment, someone will come to pick us up to see the city lord soon." Xiao Chun said.

After Xiaochun finished speaking, the three of them waited in the residence for a while, and then several warriors came towards them.

The samurai glanced at the three of them and asked:

"Which of you is the master Onmyoji from Da Zhou?"

Xiao Chun pointed to Tang Qingfeng and said, "Master Warrior, this is the Great Onmyoji from the Great Zhou Dynasty."

The warrior looked at Tang Qingfeng, nodded, and said to the three:

"Come with me."

"Okay." Xiaochun replied, and the three followed the warrior towards the inner city.

The three of them passed through the inner city and came to the castellan's house. The warrior bowed to the castellan, and then stepped back.

Tang Qingfeng looked at the chunky, round middle-aged man in his 40s in front of him and thought to himself:

"It's incredible that this man can give birth to a daughter with the appearance of a princess."

After the samurai left, the city lord looked at Tang Qingfeng and asked:

"You are the Great Onmyoji from Da Zhou."

"Yes." Tang Qingfeng replied.

"Can you really save my daughter?" the city lord asked.

"Yes." Tang Qingfeng returned, then looked at the city lord and said, "It's just my method, the city lord may not be willing to use it."

"What way? Come and listen to me." The city lord said.

"Get rid of Yan Mo." Tang Qingfeng replied.

"What! You want to kill Yan Mo!" The city lord was shocked and said, "No, no, you can't kill him."

Seeing his reaction like this, Tang Qingfeng slowly asked: "City Lord, Yan Mo was brought by you, right?"

Listening to Tang Qingfeng's words, the city lord looked at him in shock and said:

"You... how do you know?"

Tang Qingfeng ignored him and continued:

"You also made up the story of Yan Mo. The so-called Yan Mo is just a bloodthirsty monster. You brought him back for Hinata, but you had to be coerced by him to provide blood.

However, he only wanted the girl's blood, and he chose your daughter. You wanted to resist, but you were revenged by him, so you had no choice but to send your daughter away. "

Tang Qingfeng paused as he spoke, looked at the city lord and said, "City lord, I guessed it, right?"

"You...you really are a great Onmyoji." The city lord exclaimed.Then he let out a long sigh, looked at the three of them and said slowly:

"Yan Mo's name is Ye Gui, and he is a Kui Ren. He is tall and good at wielding a hammer. I met him in the mountains and advised him to come back to Hinata with me. I made an agreement with him to give him a gift every month. Girl, he will protect Hinata's safety.

It's just that in the past two months, he has become more and more crazy. He often sneaks out to kill people, and wants me to send my daughter as a sacrifice.I really have no choice. I can't fight against him. I can only follow his request. I was also forced to send my daughter away. "

After listening to his words, Tang Qingfeng looked at him indifferently and said:

"I don't think the city lord is helpless. The city lord just chose the former between the throne and his daughter."

"........." Seeing that he saw through his mind, the city lord remained silent.

Tang Qingfeng looked at him and continued:

"City Lord, think about it. If I make a move, Yan Mo will definitely die. Are you really willing to give up this pawn?"

After Tang Qingfeng finished speaking, the city lord nodded after thinking for a moment, and said firmly:

"For the sake of my daughter, even if I have to give up the position of city lord, I am willing."

"Really." Tang Qingfeng said.

"Yes, this was originally my fault, please help me to solve this mistake, Master Onmyoji," said the city owner.

"Okay." Tang Qingfeng nodded.

"Thank you, my lord, what should I do, my lord? How can I help you?" the city lord asked.

Tang Qingfeng looked at him, and asked:

"When will the princess get married tomorrow?"

"In the evening." The city lord replied.

"Well, there's still time." Tang Qingfeng said, "Take me to Hell Flower Field tomorrow to check it out."

"Okay." The city lord nodded, and said to Tang Qingfeng: "Then Lord Onmyoji go to rest first, and I will send someone to call you tomorrow morning."

"Yes." After Tang Qingfeng returned, the three of them followed the city lord's warriors and left the city lord's house.
