My Weird Life

   Chapter 447 The sword is returned (12)

   Twilight Quadrangle.

  In the mansion of the 'Taizhen Minister' in Heianjing, the lanterns are just on.

   West courtyard central hall.

   Zhuping people and retainers gathered together.

   When the imperial minister and the head of the Ping family, "Ping Qingsheng", sat cross-legged in the first place.

   Around him, the second son Ping Lingsheng and the fourth son Ping Zhisheng stood upright.

  The eldest son of the Ping family, 'Hira Yusheng', has been away from Kyoto for a long time, and served as a guardian general in the 'Mutsu Kingdom' - this person is weak and incompetent, but he is stubborn and self-willed.

   Send him to Mutsu Country to be the guardian general, and Ping Qingsheng is also out of sight and out of mind.

   As for the third son 'Ping Weisheng', who is still practicing in the country of Changzhou,

   is the guardian general of the long ship country.

   The fourth son, Ping Zhisheng, was among the sons of Ping Qingsheng, and the one with the highest official position was already the 'Daisuke of the Ministry of War'.

  Ping Qingsheng plans to accumulate some merits after the fourth son,

   made him carry from the four top 'left half midfielder'.

  Ping Qingsheng has a thin body, and even though he is in his forties, he is still handsome and handsome.

   He looked at the tea cup on the table and said, "Have the nations still not detected the movements of the Genji sword team?"

  "Not detected.

   Genji's sword-carrying team was elusive. It had clearly passed through the long ship country before, but the long ship country still had nothing to gain.

  It was also Miss Hiraiko who got the news from Genji's inner servant,

   has only blocked this knife team once.

   But there is a powerful ghost warrior in the sword team, which broke through the interception of Miss Hiraiko.

  I thought that the knife team might have some way of concealing them, and it is very likely that they are now approaching Kyoto. "Among the retainers, a warrior dressed in black and red armor stepped out of the crowd, bowing to Ping Qingsheng to report.

  Ping Qingsheng looked at the exquisite lacquered tea cup, and suddenly said: "At the time of the public discussion in the hall, the right minister Yuan Laigang suddenly asked for an official appointment for the eldest son of the guardian family of a small country on the side of the border.

   And please record the immortals, you can be promoted to the hall to discuss affairs. "

   Zhongping's sons and retainers remained silent,

   But they all listen.

  Ping Qingsheng did not hesitate to say: "This small country is called the country of Boqi.

   The guardian family there is the 'Inoue family'. "

   Everyone frowned upon hearing this, still searching in their minds which noble family 'Boqiguo Inoue' was.

   At this time, Ping Zhisheng opened his mouth and said warmly: "The supreme sword that Genji delivered was cast from the Boqi Guoan Gang Sword Casting Factory.

   The ghost warrior who repelled Rashomon's tricks, and even his sister was helpless, is the "Inoue Toshizhao" of the Inoue family.

  Father, since Yuan Laigang requested an official seal for the Inoue family of Boqi country today, it seems that Inoue Zhuzhao led the sword team, and they have already stepped into the Genji mansion and met Yuan Laigang.

   Please order the siege of Genji.

   This fashion has room to make amends. "

   As soon as Ping Zhisheng finished his words, some retainers said hesitantly: "Just because Yuan Lai just asked for the official title for Inoue's patriarch's son, do you think Inoue Zhuzhao may have met Yuan Lai Gang?

   This judgment is too arbitrary, right? "

   After he said a few words, he carefully looked at Heizhisheng's back, and then added: "I didn't deliberately oppose Master Heizhisheng, but just besieged the Genji mansion in Kyoto. This matter is very important.

  Once a decision is made, it must be an endless situation for both parties.

   At this time, my Hei clan was strong, but Genji had been operating in the Heian Dynasty for hundreds of years, and the thin dead camel was bigger than a horse, especially since they also knew the specific location of the house **** "Shuten Douji" that we have not been able to grasp..."

   The retainer didn't finish his sentence, but his worries were already clear.

   Everyone nodded in agreement.

   "If Inoue Toshizhao and Gen Raigang had not met and presented Genji with the supreme sword, then it would have been impossible to explain Yuan Raigang's request for an official seal for the Inoue family at the public meeting.

   This can be seen as a reward from Yuan Lai Gang to the Inoue family. "Ping Zhisheng's expression was calm, and he did not show the slightest shyness due to the rebuttal of his subordinates, and he still stated his judgment to his father without any hassle.

  Ping Qingsheng responded slightly.

   He also raised a question: "Genji must know that once my family knows that his family has obtained the supreme sword, they will never die with it.

   But at this juncture,

   However, he still has to propose at the public meeting that he will be appointed as an official of "Inoue Qing" and be registered as an immortal - doesn't he know that his actions will inevitably arouse the suspicion of my Ping family, and may even lead to a death battle between the two?

  Yuan Lai Gangneng continued to rise up after Yuan Laiguang was deprived of the position of "Left Minister". Now he is promoted to "Right Minister", relying not only on the thrust of the family, but also his personal strategy.

   Yes, he could not have been unaware of this.

   But he did it anyway, why?

   The two families are in a death battle. My Ping clan has some scruples. Could it be that his Genji has no scruples?

   Could it be that there is no trap? "

  Hirai Kiyomori raised a key question.

   Even Ping Zhisheng couldn't answer his father's question.

   Everyone frowned in thought.

  The people of the Ping family can't imagine it anyway - the reason why Yuan Laigang had to seal "Inoue Kiyoshi" at today's public meeting is that there is someone behind him - Su Wu hastily urged!

   And the reason why he responded to Su Wu's urging,

   It’s because that supreme sword is still in the hands of the Inoue family!

   He asked the Inoue family for an official title, not a reward for the Inoue family, but an 'equal exchange' between the Inoue family and Genji!

   There was silence in the central hall.

   Soon after, the waiter appeared silently under the wooden steps outside the hall.

  The waiter bowed down in front of the wooden steps and reported to Ping Qing Shenghui in the hall: "Master, Miss Ping Lingzi has returned home and said she has something important to tell you."

   "Didn't she help her brother in Nagfune country?

  Who allowed her to come back privately? "Ping Qingsheng frowned.

   He has always loved his son under his knees, but he did not like his only daughter.

  Guyin's daughter was born, and he also took away his most beloved wife.

  The waiter kowtowed and said nothing.

   Such a question, how could he, a servant, dare to ask Ping Lingzi directly?

  Ping Qingsheng just asked aloud, didn't hear a response and didn't care, waved his hand, and said to the waiter, "Let her come over here, I'll see if she has something important to report."

"Yes."

  The waiter went away.

  Ping Kiyomori raised his eyes and glanced at the many subordinates in the middle hall, and said again: "The question just now, you all stay here to think about it, and order the Heike warriors to immediately prepare and wait.

   I can’t say that I’m really going to be immortal with Genji tonight. "

   All the ministers looked at each other for a while,

   I don’t know why the owner of the house suddenly made a decision.

   After they were stunned for a while, they all responded and went outside the door to release the paper crane news.

After   , they gathered again in the central hall.

  No one in the middle hall talked much,

  The atmosphere was condensed for a while.

  The waiter quietly entered the central hall to renew the lamp oil and light the candle.

   In the dim lights of the room, Miss Ping Lingzi, dressed in black with a sword on her waist, took off her shoes, stepped on the wooden steps, and walked closer to the central hall.

   looks like an ice sculpture.

   But even the ice sculptures look even more beautiful under the dim yellow lights.

   A samurai caught sight of Miss Ping Lingzi's profile, and unknowingly fell into a beautiful dream, completely forgetting the task given by the master.

"Father."

  Ping Lingzi stopped seven steps away from the table of Ping Qingsheng, and the soil under the seat saluted.

Ping Qingsheng looked at Ping Lingzi, who was saluting and well-mannered. His face was more rigid and cold than his daughter's. He said in a low voice, "It's not that you don't want to come back to Kyoto when you have nothing to do, and help your three men with peace of mind in Changship Country. Brother?

   It's only been so long, why did you come back? "

Ping Lingzi knelt on the ground with his back straight, looked at his father seven steps away, and said expressionlessly: "Seven months have passed, father, this is the first time I have returned to Kyoto in seven months. at home.

  Does father think that seven months is too short? "

   "Huh?" Ping Qingsheng frowned, always feeling that there was something in Ping Lingzi's words.

   Ping Zhisheng and Ping Lingsheng on the left and right looked at the younger sister who was not allowed to get up, and their eyes were meaningful.

  Ping Qingsheng paused for a while, then continued: "You said that there is something important to report, can't you report it through the paper crane news?

   What is the important thing? "

  Ping Lingzi automatically ignored his father's first question, and answered the second question directly, saying: "The Nagasaki country has received news that Toshizhao Inoue has brought the sword team to meet with Gen Laigang.

   is now in the Genji mansion.

   This is the important news I have to report.

  —It was the news that was spied from the Inoue Patriarch. "

   All the retainers were shocked when they heard the words!

  Ping Zhisheng knelt directly to the ground and pleaded with Ping Qingsheng: "Father, please give an order! If it is not the death of the Genji now, it will be the death of my Ping clan, and the survival of the family will be under your order!"

  …

   Genji Lake Heart Island mansion.

  In the front hall, there is singing and dancing, and delicious food and wine are prepared.

   However, the few Genji sons in the hall were not interested in feasting.

   Numerous military officials and ghost warriors are not in the hall, but have already been stationed at key positions around the island and on the key streets outside the island, leading the warriors to look after them.

   The alert is fierce, and we are waiting!

   In the hall, there are only the right minister, Yuan Laigang, and the Dajiangshan Crusade 1st Team's "Servant General" Yuan Laichao.

   The head of Genji's house, Yuan Lai Gang, ordered the waiter to remove the order, set up a long table, and spread out several lacquer boxes on the long table.

   Opposite him 'Inoue Candlelight' - Su Wu sat cross-legged.

  Yuan Laigang glanced at Su Wu on the opposite side,

   Yuan Yoritomo and several ghost warriors who were specially prepared to prevent Su Wu's uprising were all nervous.

   Kabuki was cleared by the samurai.

  The atmosphere in the hall gradually cooled down.

Opened the first lacquer box, Yuan Laigang took out the document and the seal, and pushed it in front of Su Wu: "This is the document and the seal that you have given to you as the guardian general of Obari, with the Genji seal on it. .

  Please check it out. "

  Su Wu nodded, unceremoniously opened the document and checked it out,

   Put the documents and seals back into the lacquer box and put them away.

After that, I checked the documents of 'Guardian General of Boqi Kingdom' and 'Guardian General of Deyu Kingdom', and swallowed all three things with ghost hands. Slowly he spat out an ornately decorated sword.

  An Gang, Toru Toru and he co-cast the 'Supreme Sword'!

   "The Supreme Sword is here,

  Please check. "

  Su Wu placed the knife on the long table.

   The breathing of the Genji people across from them became heavier.

  Yuan Laigang's expression was calm, he reached out and grabbed the 'No-Superior Taisao', holding the hilt in one hand and pulling the scabbard away in the other—

  Shoo!

   Xue Liang's knife light reflects red eyes.

   He carefully observed the texture of the blade and the blade. After a long time, Yuan Laigang took a deep breath and smiled at Su Wu: "It really is the supreme sword!"

   The right minister's smile was a little cold.

   After he finished speaking, he stood up and walked away from the central front hall, accompanied by Yuan Yoritomo and a group of oni samurai.

   They left without saying hello to Su Wu.

   It seemed that Su Wu had vanished in front of their eyes and ceased to exist.

  Tuliu Su Wu sat in the hall.

   There were several oni samurai with meaningful eyes standing around.
