I am practicing in the Nianghua Warring States Period

As we all know, Deer-headed Snake and Reuters are puns and neither is quite true.

Beidou Xinwei is a rather thoughtful person. His [Vassal System] currently has two people bound to it. One is Chiaki Kikyo, and the other is Himura Kenshin. Because Kenshin-chan got hacked when he went out last time, even though it happened three months ago.

He never let go of it for a single day. For the sake of the greater good, he couldn't immediately kill Oda Nobuhime's brother. However, he immediately gave Himura Kenshin, Kikyo, and the others "Special Attention." Any slight sign of trouble would instantly send them into a state of deep freeze.

"Hmm?" Inside Kuno Castle, Beidou Xinwei was training his troops. After nearly a year of training, his eight hundred men were practically ready to sweep through Tsim Sha Tsui. Each one wielded a super-long spear—roughly seven meters long. This length was clearly designed for bullying; peasant soldiers wouldn't use it, and samurai wouldn't bother using it. These trained peasant soldiers had no sense of honor. A unit with seven-meter-long spears—they wouldn't even need to poke, they'd smash the enemy's ass to death with a smack!

Then he found that for some reason, a pop-up window suddenly popped up for Kenshin Himura, whom he was [paying special attention to].

[Kenshin leaves Naguno Castle and heads to: Hira Castle, Nichi]

“???” Beidou Xinwei was bewildered.

What was Kenshin doing in Hira Castle? It was called a castle, but it was actually a military stronghold, no bigger than a small mountain stronghold. Because a retainer had been granted a fiefdom there, he had built a makeshift house and a wall around it to rule over the nearby residents.

How could a child like my daughter start to develop in a direction I had no idea about? How could this be allowed!

"Koichiro!"

"Yes?" Hidenaga Kinoshita didn't know why his boss suddenly called him, but he had to respond quickly.

"You, discuss with the other adults about continuing the military training. I have to go out for something." Beidou Xinwei whistled and read the message.

From a distance, a steed appeared within sight of the parade grounds within three seconds. Then, the horse arrived at Beidou Xinwei's side. If you don't shout before you mount your horse, you're uneducated! If you don't mount your horse after you've shouted, you're a slow learner!

Chapter 99 Oh, Show (Part 1)

Beidou Xinwei rode away at full speed, rushing madly towards Hira Castle.

Because he felt something was wrong.

But Kenshin and Oda Nobuhime were also on horseback, not too slow. Walking along the country road, the colorful clouds were the attire of the sunset. He held a hoe on his shoulder, and the shepherd boy's song echoed in the air.

"Interesting, isn't it?" Oda Nobuhime, riding on her horse, looked at Kenshin beside her and handed him a bottle of wine with a laugh. "Your teacher is a super chatty old fogey! The kind who is stuck in the past. A 14-year-old with a 40-year-old's heart! What a joke! He controls me even more strictly than my own teacher, making it impossible for me to play even if I want to! It piss me off... Come on, let's drink and have fun together!"

The young girl Daimyo is like a happy cat, clapping her hands while riding on her horse. All she needs to do is sing [happy, happy, happy~~~].jpg.

"And...drinking is not riding, riding is not drinking, that's what the master said. But...a little drinking is okay, right?" Kenshin-chan, still a beautiful, radiant girl at this moment, with fiery red hair, smiled and accepted the wine gourd. This wine gourd was no ordinary one, specially crafted for Oda Nobuhime during her two years as a scoundrel on the underworld. The large gourd, in red and blue, tied with a Japanese-style white band, looked incredibly cool and unruly.

After drinking the millet wine, the two girls felt full of energy.

"Your master is such a busybody!" Oda Nobuhime pointed ahead, pointing to Hira Castle, which was already visible on the horizon. The surrounding area was all plains and rice paddies. Owari's economy was developed, and the area was all buffer plains. If you wanted to see a small hill, you'd probably have to spend 21 billion yuan to create one yourself.

But there are still many forests, and in a small woods nearby is the Nichi.

"They always say there are bad people out there—yes, my mom is a bad person, my brother is a bad person, but are all the people in the world bad? Why don't I believe it? Back then, when I was walking down the street, no one came and stabbed me."

"..." Kenshin was puzzled for a moment. She had never even walked on the street. Her parents were gone, and human traffickers broke into her house and kidnapped her! But after racing, driving at high speeds, and drinking, the young girl Kenshin patted her chest. She said proudly: "Master is indeed very cautious. There is no place in the world that we can't go? Don't worry, Nobuhime, I'm here!"

Let us be companions in the world, be free and unrestrained, gallop on horseback, and share the prosperity of the world~

Good sisters, so loyal! Love and loyalty are worth a thousand gold! We...

"Oda Nobuhime!!! Himura Kenshin!!! - You two damn women, stop right there!!!"

Suddenly, a roar came from behind.

A young man on a white horse, dressed in bright clothes and riding a furious horse, came charging from a distance, whipping his horse. In the forest, it seemed as if he was going to rush directly over the two girls on horseback and ride them under him.

"!! Oh no, it's your master! Run!"

"...The divine horse he rides can travel a thousand miles a day and eight hundred miles a night. So many people on the battlefield risked their lives but couldn't escape. Do you think you can escape?"

"Didn't we just say we were good sisters..."

"No!—you pulled me out of that!"

"!!"

Oda Nobuhime was a rather unscrupulous person, and she wouldn't mind getting angry with you in person, even if it meant a fight. Most capable leaders are like this. Even Kangxi, who could chop off his own son when he got angry, would brawl with ministers in public during large court meetings—and not care about it afterwards.

What does this mean? — It means that no matter how serious the public security incident is, even the emperor can be beaten with backing.

While we were chatting, Beidou Xinwei rushed over.

"You two run really fast! Why don't you keep running!" This is what Beidou Xinwei said when he caught the student skipping class on the spot.

The next step was to call the parents, but there was a rather difficult problem: the three people present couldn't even come up with a complete father! They couldn't even come up with a real mother.

"Huh...what's going on!" The handsome boy looked down at the two beautiful girls.

"She seduced me out of town!"

"She took me out of town!"

Two people, two different stories, but each one completely betrays the other. Girl helping girl! It's a perfect example.

Finally, the two confessed that they had skipped classes and left the city. They ran outside the city hoping to see the deer-headed snake.

"?" Considering that the world he traveled to was not a fantasy world or a fairy-tale world, Beidou Xinwei was sure that there was something wrong here.

"You..." The beautiful boy looked at Oda Nobuhime, who showed a wise look: "Where did you hear this, you guy?"

"Huh? What? Oh, the castle town! I heard it in the castle town yesterday when I was taking a walk."

"...You are not allowed to go out for a walk from now on!" Beidou Xinwei squinted his eyes and looked at the surrounding woods.

Suddenly, he drew out the knife from his waist.

"?! Avi, it can't be that serious? Can't I just be wrong?" Oda Nobuhime shuddered all over, looking at the way Hokuto Nobuyoshi drew his sword - but she didn't think his life was in danger.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Beidou Xinwei's red bar lit up! "There's an ambush around here! - Kenshin, you protect this big fool of Owari! I'll be back soon!"

"!? Eh? Why are you scolding me? You..."

Oda Nobuhime watched as Hokuto Nobuyoshi kicked his horse's calf and rushed into the distant forest.

Then, a series of screams rang out, and the sound of metal and stone tinkled. Then, in less than three minutes, it returned to an eerie calm.

"Okay." Three minutes later, the snow-white warhorse turned into a blood-white warhorse, and this time it felt completely at ease.

Beidou Xinwei suddenly found himself becoming the person he hated the most.

"Avi... why suddenly?" Oda Nobuhime looked into the forest. Her intelligence wasn't negative, so she knew what had happened. "Could it be that someone deliberately lured me out?"

"There are bad guys around you!" Beidou Xinwei became the type he hated the most: "Go back to that Kune Castle and arrest everyone around you! - Anyone who told you about the wonders here! Arrest them all and torture them severely! - Catch the typical ones and kill them all!"

Only by killing can you feel at ease, and only by killing all the enemies can you reduce your sense of crisis.

Could it be that I have really become this kind of... this kind of...

Is this a qualified ruler? Oh, I have indeed grown!

Physically eliminating political opponents is indeed the simplest method. If there are still people who oppose you, it only means that some people still don't listen to you. Whoever speaks, I will chop them off!

A beautiful feudal future is waiting for you!

Chapter 100 Oh, Show (Part 2)

There is no need to mention the notoriety of Hokuto Nobuyoshi. With a gloomy face, he ordered Kenshin to escort Oda Nobuhime back to her Naguno Castle.

He continued to "cruise" around the woods, looking for any new prey. He'd been a bit irritable lately! He'd chop up any punching bag that came to his door!

The forest, resembling a small garden, is lush and green. Sunlight filters through the layers of leaves, casting dappled shadows like a golden dance mat meticulously woven by artists. A gurgling stream, accompanied by the clear song of birds, creates a joyful symphony of textured nature. In this forest, every breath is filled with the vitality of life, and every turn holds a new surprise. It's like a Capcom paradise, a 3D paradise.

"Ha...Ha!--" Suddenly, bursts of loud laughter and the sound of hammering were heard in the distance.

No need to think too much, there must be a battle! Following the sound, Beidou Xinwei rode past!

What caught my eye was a girl madly hacking at the carcass of a large fish beside a pond.

While hacking at the mosquitoes, he cursed obscenely, "Don't bite me, don't bite me in this life! - The mosquitoes are almost biting me to death, and you don't even bother to bite me! You and the mosquitoes are plotting against me, right? You've eaten so much of my bait and become fat, and then you just don't bite the hook, right? You're so fierce, why don't you eat me too! - If you have the guts, don't die in this life! Who can survive you? If I can't kill you today, I..."

The girl was about 5 feet 4 inches tall, a height that wouldn't just make a woman stand out among chickens, but rather stand out like a Godzilla. Despite her height, she possessed a face as delicate as a sculpture, her skin as white as porcelain and shimmering with a natural luster. Her nose was straight, her lips soft, and she looked a bit like a mixed-race East Asian.

Such a bright and beautiful appearance made Beidou Xinwei feel as if he had seen her before, but he couldn't quite place her where. A beautiful girl who seemed like the most familiar stranger—but unfortunately, she had a mouth. As she chopped the fish with a knife, her mouth never stopped.

The fish he had chopped off also made Beidou Xinwei frown! The fish looked to be at least three meters long. He found it hard to believe that such a large fish could exist in a pond the size of a football field. Furthermore, the girl's venting of anger contradicted the fisherman's usual practice of catching fish, taking photos, and releasing them.

"Who!" You can't say this girl is extremely alert. She turned around and stared at Beidou Xinwei.

Seeing Beidou Xinwei approach, she fell silent. She kicked away the fish-shaped creature she'd hacked to pieces, leaving it unrecognizable to her mother. She gripped her sword tightly, ready for battle. "Damn it, another demon! Damn, it looks so powerful! I'm not in good shape right now, what should I do..." she muttered.

Beidou Xinwei's appearance was quite terrifying, as I've mentioned before. He was clad in a dazzling array of Mingguang armor. When searching for the enemy, he wore his helmet and visor properly, not hanging them from his horse. At this moment, he was riding on the back of a horse over two meters tall, slowly emerging from the forest.

It really looked like a ghost.

“…Who are you scolding?”

The "ghost" started to curse. Beidou Xinwei pointed at the beautiful girl in front of him and teased, "If your brain is useless, you can donate it to someone who can. But are those two holes on your nose the holes you used to steal brains? How do I look like a ghost?"

As he spoke, he took off his visor mask, revealing a handsome face that was reflected as if it were a black screen.

"..." The girl was stunned by the scolding. She frowned and stared at the handsome man in front of her for a fraction of a second. Suppressing her thoughts, she retorted, "It's so tall, it must be a ghost. - I'm telling you, I caught this fish! Don't even think about stealing it!"

"Who wants to find your fish... Wait, fish?" Beidou Xinwei was stunned by what he said, and immediately got off his horse. He looked at the alert girl in front of him, and then at the calm fish.

"You...what's wrong with this fish?"

"I'm telling you, I discovered this first! Someone here was bragging, saying there's a monster here. A giant snake as thick as a barrel, with a colorful deer head! — I came here to be a monster hunter! And when I got here, I found out there really is a monster, but it's just a larger fish." The girl snorted, and you could see a mosquito bite on her fair face. Needless to say, she looked unhappy: "Don't even think about stealing it from me! Don't look at your size! I'll kill you like a chicken! By the way, who are you?"

"...Before asking others, shouldn't you blow up your own house?"

"Am I still afraid of you? Let me tell you, my name is Hidechiyo!" She was clearly a girl, yet she used such a forced rhetoric. The girl curled her lips and said, "Although... although I don't have a family name. But when my mother was alive, she told me that my father was no ordinary man! Of course, in this society where people rely on their fathers, I am the type who doesn't rely on my father! - What about you? Who are you?"

"I am Beidou Xinwei."

"Oh, Beidou..." Hidechiyo heard the name, and beads of sweat were visibly dripping down her forehead: "You... are that Beidou Nobuyuki? The ghost from the Oda family?!"

"I told you, it's not a ghost!"

"Nonsense...nonsense! - This eight-foot appearance, this depraved face, this scary ghost horse..." Hidechiyo took a deep breath, lowered her head and said, "How about, I give you this fish? Don't bother me when you're full, okay?" The girl said, taking a few steps back vigilantly.

"You really know when to advance and retreat, don't you? You want to escape when the situation gets bad? - Well, you're lucky, girl." Beidou Xinwei dismounted and walked in front of Xiu Chiyo: "Since it's yours, I don't care about the brain. But there's a group of wild warriors roaming around here who want to kill me... Well, I'll take care of them. Are you not in the same group with them?"

"No! Absolutely not!"

"Where did you hear this rumor about the deer-headed snake?"

"Oh, my home is in the castle town of Suemori Castle." Seeing that Hokuto Nobuyuki was indeed not the child-eating creature as rumored, Hidechiyo immediately plucked up her courage. "I usually make a living by running errands for others. Recently, there was a rumor about a big creature here. Someone asked me to spread the news to Furuno Castle. I thought, is there such a good thing? - So I went to Furuno Castle and told them for a while! After that, I ran over here to stake out and see if there really was such a monster. I didn't expect it to be a big fish..."

"...Wait a minute, tell me. Did you pass this news from Suemori City to Kuno City?"

"Yes."

"Miss, turn around and stick your butt out. This way you won't suffer as much when I tie you up later."

Chapter 101 Saito Hidechiyo Yoshihide

"!!! What are you doing!" Hidechiyo suddenly took two steps back in a rage. Her slender body matched her beautiful figure, and after a few movements of her breasts, she struck a pose that seemed pretentious to Beidou Xinwei. "I'm telling you! Even if I die, I won't let you succeed! - Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're handsome. You dare to use force on me? At least eight out of ten hooligans have died at my hands. You've picked the wrong target!"

"Come, let me explain to you. You were…"

Beidou Nobuyoshi also smiled at the other man. His health bar had flashed. It hadn't flashed earlier, not later, but at this very moment. This showed that he was simply afraid of being hit, which was the cause of the stress reaction. So he calmly explained the story of Oda Nobuhime's near ambush.

"So, you're saying that the news I brought over was released by Oda Nobuyuki just to attract his overly curious and silly sister and kill her on the way?" Hidechiyo broke out in a cold sweat again, her face full of alertness as if she had arrived at the Alert Planet, ready to face doomsday at any time.

"Yes, Not Bad."

"...Am I being used as a gun?" The beautiful girl broke out in a cold sweat.

"Not bad." The beautiful boy nodded.

"...What crime?"

"It depends on my mood. If I'm not in a good mood, I'll kill him."

"Are you in a good mood?"

"X first, then kill!"

"Hey! You really are a ghost!" The girl instantly entered into a deathmatch mode: "Even if I die today, I won't let you take advantage of me!... Damn it, I'm going to scratch my face right now, I don't think you can do that..."

"Stop, stop, stop. I'm just kidding." He watched as the other person pulled a small dagger from her waist, ready to slash her face. This little girl was truly too fierce and unyielding. In troubled times, a young woman trying to make money with a knife while maintaining her purity—that really required some self-preservation. Beidou Xinwei didn't want to ruin her life with a few words.

Of course, he doesn't run a charity.
