Faced with the sudden change, the panicked black-haired girl lost her mind and struggled desperately, wanting to see the contents of the letter in the hands of the Lady Behind the Curtain with great worry.

Seeing that Ai was still struggling, a feeling of tiredness made the lady close her eyes again and throw the envelope down.

"...Go and show it to her."

After receiving the order, the maid immediately squatted down to pick up the letter, walked out of the imperial curtain, carefully spread out the letter, and showed it to the girl who was tied up and lying on the tatami.

Then, under the black-haired girl's incredulous gaze, the part that she had originally painted black disappeared, and turned into paragraphs of text between her and Shang Yang.

These texts, as the lady said, describe a "conspiracy" between her and Shang Yang.

Is it, is it a spell?! Shang Yang is in danger!

In an instant, I realized that this was not love from the power of this human world, and I was extremely worried at this moment.

An unknown entity is framing Shang Yangjun! And it also knows magic!

The black-haired girl, her mind filled with worry at this moment, struggled again, not caring that the ropes that bound her were impossible to break free, and just struggled.

Soon, the girl's fair wrists were rubbed with blood by the hemp rope, and drops of dark red blood fell onto the tatami...

Volume 1: Heian Tales of the Past and Present: Chapter 26: The Chase in the Palace

Fujiwara Palace, a prison within the palace.

The black-haired girl, with her arms tied behind her back and her upper body tightly tied with hemp ropes, was escorted by palace warriors, half pushed and half dragged, and shoved into the prison.

Because of Ai's special identity, she was not escorted to the prison of the Prison Division of the Ministry of Justice, but was secretly escorted to the depths of Fujiwara Palace, a secret palace prison used to secretly imprison royal family members and high-ranking nobles who failed in political struggles.

However, although it is a high-standard prison used to detain royal family members and high-ranking officials, the prison environment is not much better than that of the Prison Department.

The musty smell, the rotten straw, the dim candlelight, each of these things would make the prisoners in jail feel cold and desperate.

Crack.

A prison door opened, and the warrior guarding the prison pushed the black-haired girl who had been dragged all the way and could not even stand steadily from behind, and pushed the girl into the prison.

Being suddenly pushed from behind, the girl staggered, leaned forward, and fell heavily on the cold ground. Her flawless white calves were immediately scratched by the ground, oozing a little blood.

"Cough cough..."

The pain in her calves and the chill from the icy ground forced the black-haired girl, whose mouth was still blocked by the cloth, to cough softly.

Of course, no one in the prison cared about the black-haired girl's condition.

Pain, pungent smell, biting cold... The external pain and discomfort mixed with worry about the young man made the black-haired girl feel extremely painful at this moment.

However, now that she herself is imprisoned, she can do nothing...

The double burden of body and mind almost crushed Ai's mind.

Ai is now very worried, very, very worried about Shang Yang...

No, there is only one thing that can be done.

The black-haired girl, with her arms tied behind her back and tightly bound, used all her strength to slowly and reluctantly move her body from the freezing stone floor to the rotten straw that emitted a foul musty smell.

The girl was only wearing a single white piece of clothing. Her wooden clogs and tabi had fallen somewhere due to the shoving and dragging during the escort. In the deep winter, the girl's thin clothing was far from enough to maintain her body temperature. If she continued to lie on her side on the cold ground, she would even be in danger of freezing to death due to loss of body temperature on a cold night.

After barely managing to wrap herself in some rotten straw by turning over, Ai once again squeezed herself into the straw pile, enduring the stale and musty smell, trying to make her body feel less cold...

After doing these actions, Ai's situation improved slightly.

The little head was leaning against the straw, and the girl's long, jet-black hair, like a waterfall, had become tangled and mixed with the rotten straw.

Believe in Shangyang...

Lying in the pile of stale and smelly straw, the black-haired girl told herself this over and over again.

However, although she kept telling herself to have faith in Shang Yang and to believe that Shang Yangjun could handle any difficulties and conspiracies, the fact that the enemy also used magic and was hiding in the dark made the girl feel extremely uneasy and worried.

Love feels very tired...

Amidst the rotten straw, the black-haired girl, gradually consumed by exhaustion and almost reaching her physical and mental limits, prayed wholeheartedly for the young man.

Tears streamed down the girl's cheeks, fell, and shattered.

"It doesn't matter where the gods are, or where the Buddhas are..."

"This is my only wish..."

"I don't want anything..."

"Even if... I have to exchange my life for it, it doesn't matter..."

"Please, please bless him..."

A few hours later, late at night.

The Daigokuden Hall is located in the center of Fujiwara Palace.

Late at night, a thick fog gradually rose near the Daigokuden Hall. The thick white fog enveloped the entire Fujiwara Palace, and the fog was so thick around the Daigokuden Hall that nothing could be seen clearly.

Based on the intelligence of the sighting of the evil spirit last night, the three councilors, Lieutenant General of the Left Guard, who was in charge of the extermination of the evil spirit, deployed the summoned samurai and foot soldiers from various families at three credible locations where the evil spirit was seen, and arranged for more than a dozen samurai to travel back and forth to report the situation and convey orders.

Lieutenant General Saeko-e led over a hundred samurai and nearly five hundred foot soldiers to garrison near the Daigokuden, which was the most important place in the Fujiwara Palace besides the Imperial Palace. The other two places each sent a considerable number of troops, commanded by Saemon-e-shogun and Saemon-e-shogun. Finally, a part of the most elite palace gate samurai and foot soldiers were responsible for guarding the Imperial Palace, and the others were commanded by the left and right generals of the Konoe-e-shogun, responsible for protecting the safety of Emperor Jitō and the imperial family.

This time, the direct judge Fujiwara no Fuhito was also specially authorized by the empress to lead a dozen warriors guarding the Imperial Palace and follow Lieutenant General Left Guard to be stationed near the Daigokuden. Of course, in addition to obtaining military merits, Judge Fujiwara no Fuhito also had another secret mission.

The fog was getting thicker and thicker. For safety reasons, Lieutenant General Zuo Kunwei ordered some warriors to light torches to illuminate the areas they were responsible for.

The top of the Daji Hall.

A figure suddenly appeared in the fog. A young man with black hair stepped lightly on the tiles of the roof of the hall, half-crouched down, and observed the bright torches in the fog around the Daji Hall.

The thick fog that enveloped Fujiwara Palace in the middle of the night was not caused by natural weather, but was a demonic fog transformed by Shang Yang's evil spirit. The arrangement of the demonic fog was not only for the convenience of action, but also a necessary step in the plan.

[Doctor, the time is right, please start your performance.]

The Lady Lord reminded the young man.

"...Looks like it's time to send it off."

The young man ruffled his hair and sighed. Then, he stood up and leaped down from the hall.

At the same time, startled by the sound of the young man deliberately breaking tiles when he jumped down from the hall, the samurai foot soldiers holding torches around the Daigokuden Hall and another group of nobles and samurai who were hiding in ambush all looked up and saw the black shadow jumping down from the Daigokuden Hall.

The black shadow fell to the ground, and the nobles and warriors who gathered around with torches in their hands suddenly saw the appearance of the black shadow.

In the thick fog, the black shadow's face was blurred, but it had two terrifying red eyes like copper bells, staring coldly at the nobles, samurai and foot soldiers who surrounded them. Anyone who was stared at by these terrifying red eyes couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

Using the effect of the demon fog, the young man and the lady of the main god made all the nobles, samurai and foot soldiers here see the illusion of "monsters".

"A monster has appeared!" "Don't be afraid! Go up and kill it!"

The warriors cheered, holding torches in one hand and long swords in the other, suppressed their anxiety, and bravely rushed towards the "evil" in front of them.

The first warrior rushed forward, threw away the torch, held the sword with both hands, and used all his strength to raise the long sword and chop it down.

The young man dodged the knife by moving sideways, and then struck the warrior's armor on the chest with his knife, knocking the warrior back more than ten steps and making him lie unconscious on the ground.

"No retreat!" "This is the time to earn the Feat of Arms! Kill!"

The following samurai and foot soldiers bravely surrounded the monster again under the scolding of the samurai leader. They also saw the true form of the "monster" in the thick fog. It was a monster with red eyes, a cold appearance, and a cruel and tyrannical appearance.

The "monster" glanced at the surrounding warriors and foot soldiers with its red eyes, let out a sharp long howl, and turned to flee to the west.

“Don’t stop!”

When the samurai leaders of the Konoefu saw Shangyang turn around and run away, they immediately scolded and encouraged the samurai and foot soldiers again.

"The demons are already afraid of our bravery! Now is the perfect time to earn military honors and serve the court! Your Majesty, command us! Defeat the demons!"

"Oh!!!"

Seeing the "monster" running away, the samurai and foot soldiers gave a thunderous shout, and everyone rushed out bravely, chasing in the west direction where the "monster" fled.

For a moment, torches were lit everywhere in the Fujiwara Palace late at night, and it was extremely lively.

"Kill the monsters! Get the reward!" "Kill! Follow me!"

The hot-blooded nobles also followed the samurai and foot soldiers and chased after them.

"Well, it seems to be working well."

Shang Yang looked back at the nobles, warriors and foot soldiers who were holding a large number of torches and chasing him closely. He sped up again, jumped up, leaped into the air, did a side flip, jumped over the wall and jumped into another alley inside the palace.

Volume 1: Heian Tales of the Past and Present: Chapter 27: Leading to Mount Yoshino

"The monster has escaped to the other area!"

"Send someone around quickly!"

The nobles and samurai on horseback, led by the foot soldiers, sent people to notify the troops deployed in other parts of Fujiwara Palace to come and block it, while they followed closely behind the fleeing "monster".

Shang Yang was following the pre-set plan to lead some of the samurai and foot soldiers out of Fujiwara Palace and to the Yoshino Mountain Valley south of Fujiwara Kyo.

Then you can focus on annihilating some of the pursuers and then "die in battle".

…Although according to the main goddess, my current body is just a “shell”, if I get chopped off on the head, it won’t affect my intelligence, right…

While Shang Yang was daydreaming, he slowed down a little, not wanting to be lost by them.

"I see it! The monster is here! Kill it!"

Suddenly, in front of the palace alley, a samurai and six foot soldiers led by the samurai rushed out from the side of another connected alley. Seeing the "escaped" monster, they were very excited and rushed towards Shang Yang head-on.

It seems that the troops deployed in other directions received the order and encircled from other positions.

A certain degree of pressure should be applied.

After making some consideration, the young man faced head-on this group of foot soldiers who were not waiting for others and were greedy for merit and rushing forward.

Similarly, seeing the "monster" rushing towards them as if it had no other choice, the samurai leading the team, the head ashigaru, was extremely excited. According to the imperial order conveyed by Saemon-sama, if they could defeat the monster, they would be rewarded greatly and could even become a military commander.

Faced with the "monster" who wanted to "escape" with bare hands, the warrior took the lead, gripped the hilt of the sword with both hands, and swung the sword hard towards the "monster's" neck.

"Successful!"

The warrior, who was fully expecting to see the "monster"'s head flying into the sky soon, shouted excitedly first.

Clang.

The katana fell to the ground.

A fishy-sweet taste surged up his throat, and blood oozed from the corner of the samurai's mouth. The foot soldier lowered his head in disbelief, staring blankly at his sunken chest.

How, how could it be...

His body swayed and he fell backward.

The young man suddenly accelerated to a speed that no mortal could reach. He gathered his strength and shattered the warrior's chest with one punch.

The foot soldier who rushed forward first fell down and died immediately.

The foot soldiers also gathered around, shouting to encourage themselves.

The young man casually picked up the knife on the ground, turned the blade with his backhand, glanced at the foot soldiers who were rushing towards him while shouting to encourage each other, and narrowed his eyes.

Tip - month * Yi / 2 You ⒉ Yi` 衤 3O Bar Wo Speed.

A sharp knife flashed.

puff!

Ten seconds later, nobles, samurai, and foot soldiers arrived here holding torches.

The scene was bloody.

The commander-in-chief of the monster extermination, Lieutenant General of the Left Guard, pushed aside the nobles and samurai who were a little at a loss in front of him, squatted down with a gloomy face, and checked the body of the foot soldier who should have been the last one killed by the "monster", who was stabbed in the heart with a knife still in his body. He also checked the samurai who fell on his back with his chest shattered and sunken.

More nobles, samurai and foot soldiers who rushed over also saw the bodies of the seven samurai and foot soldiers who were killed in an instant. They looked at each other, somewhat at a loss.
