How come I, who has the physique of a succubus, was pushed back by the ship girl?

To be honest, Yunxian doesn't have so many rules. She is more used to it as a guest follows the host's wishes.

But since Chao Chao had decided to say so, she stopped being polite and took the bowl and chopsticks to serve herself a bowl of rice.

As soon as she tasted the dish, the fragrant aroma blossomed in her taste buds.

“The taste is... not bad, no worse than what I had elsewhere.”

Yunxian praised sincerely, without any exaggeration in her words.

Asashio's cooking skills are indeed good, and he has a place even in the pubs in Kyoto Prefecture.

Even if it can't be ranked top, at the very least it's better than her own craftsmanship.

Thinking about what she had eaten recently while sleeping in the open, and then recalling the delicious food she was eating at this moment, Yunxian felt as if she had finally gotten a sweet reward after all the hard work, and was about to cry, and she immediately took two more big mouthfuls.

Craftsmen’s ingenuity and craftsmanship, as long as their works can be affirmed, it is the greatest recognition for them.

This is what Chao Chao is like now. She looked at Yunxian eating and smiled happily.

"Hehe, it would be great if Sister Yunxian likes it. Please enjoy it slowly. I still have some in the pot. If it's not enough, I'll cook some more for you."

Yunxian nodded, and saw that she was just folding her hands, sitting at the dining table, watching her eat eagerly. She felt strange and asked.

"Why are you looking at me? Asashio, you should eat with us. This food won't taste good if it gets cold."

"Yes, yes, sister, you should eat with us. The fish is delicious today."

Adhering to the rules, Chao Chao originally wanted to wait until the guests had eaten and drunk their fill before dealing with a little more casually.

Now, with her benefactor in front and her sister urging her from behind, she had no choice but to sigh, smile and point the finger at her sisters.

"You guys! All you do is eat all day long..."

The little ones didn't care about this, and one could even see a hint of pride in their smug expressions.

Then they watched her eat the food with their own eyes and start eating. Only then did they shift their attention and start making noise.

At the dining table, only Yunxian and Chaochao's side was the last piece of pure land.

"That's strange. Where is Sister Yunxian from? Why is she here today?"

"This is deep in the mountains and old forests. When we lived in seclusion here, we never saw anyone passing by."

Yunxian put down her bowl and chopsticks for a moment and thought about it.

"I am just an idler running around. Traveling is my biggest interest in life. It is not a rare thing for me to appear here."

"As for my origins, Asashio... now is not the right time. I will tell you when I have the chance in the future."

"Oh...I understand." Asashio didn't pursue the matter any further. People who know the rules naturally know how to read people's expressions.

Then she brought it up again.

"Traveling around, it sounds like a good idea. So, where are you going to go next, Sister Yunxian?"

"Me..." Yun Xian paused, as if she had something on her mind. She was silent for a moment before speaking.

"I haven't decided yet, just take it one step at a time."

"But I have a specific purpose, so I am not lost."

Chao Chao nodded, expressing her affirmation with her actions, and just as she was about to put the food in the bowl to her mouth, she thought of something.

"Why don't we go to Iwate Prefecture? I heard that there's a talented person there."

"A capable person? Iwate Prefecture?" Yunxian frowned and asked back. "Are you talking about Akagi?"

"Akagi?" Asashio brainstormed for a while, as if he had never heard of this name before, then shook his head to deny it.

"I don't know him. I heard that there is a foreigner named Zhou Xuan over there. He first turned defeat into victory in adversity, and then persuaded the former daimyo Izumo of the imperial court."

"The two combined to form a large rebel army, and they marched towards Kyoto Prefecture."

"There have been rumors recently. I heard about it several times in the market when I went down the mountain to purchase supplies. Sister Yunxian doesn't seem to know about it?"

"I really don't know." He kept a straight face and lowered his head, his eyes that were widened by the unexpected discovery were staring at the table.

Gentiles....Zhou Xuan...prophecy.....

At this moment, Yun Xian no longer cared about anything else. She kept thinking about the relationship between the three. From the characteristics to the results, they all pointed to the same answer.

That is, she no longer has to run around blindly, and her next stop has finally been found.

Yunxian immediately took action and quickly cleaned up the leftovers in the bowl.

Then he put down his bowl and chopsticks, clasped his hands together, bowed as usual, and said his final goodbye to Asashio and the others.

"Thank you for your hospitality, I'm leaving now."

"I'm going to go to Iwate Prefecture as you said. Maybe... what I want is there."

It was a little anxious, but this was the decision made by Yunxian, and Chaochao did not try to stop her.

Before leaving, she hurried to the kitchen, packed up a few pancakes she had baked in advance, and stuffed them into her hands.

"Because of the war, there may not be many stores on the way to Iwate Prefecture. Just in case, Sister Yunxian, please take these cakes with you. It will be useful for emergency situations on the road."

"As for the future, I hope we will have the opportunity to meet again."

"Okay, sisters, Sister Yunxian is leaving, let's see her off together~"

The little guy was also quite lively. When he heard such a request, he immediately put down everything in his hands, jumped and ran to Chao Chao, and together they saw Yun Xian off.

Under their gazes, Yun Xian officially embarked on a new journey. Before leaving, she also left them a word to express her gratitude.

"When strange thoughts arise, the world becomes chaotic. When Zhou Xuan arrives, the cherry blossoms will be reborn."

"We will meet again someday. When that time comes, please come to Kyoto Prefecture to find me. We will meet again in the mountains and rivers."

Chapter 323: Hunter's Trial

Yunxian embarks on her journey, and her story continues.

Turning our eyes back to Gunma Prefecture, compared to the harmony in the mountains and forests, everything here seems so serious.

This was the last day of the agreement with Zhou Xuan. As soon as midnight passed, the two armies once again entered into formal combat.

Because of this, there was a tense atmosphere in the air, and even Long Feng's room was no exception.

She looked at Ji Yi who was leaning against the door lazily, frowned instinctively, and spoke in a bad tone.

"Why did you come to see me?"

Ji Yi didn't say anything. She just looked quietly at Long Feng who was sitting on the table in front of her with a book in her hand, thinking in her heart.

She hid her emotions well. Just now she looked dejected and sad, and now she looks cold and aloof. She actually underestimated her.

It is said that emotions can make people stupid, but this is unexpected when applied to Long Feng. At least this reckless general has learned how to use his brain.

"If you don't speak up, I'll ask you to leave. You know, this is my room."

Perhaps because she holds a secret unknown to others, Ji Yi remains calm and unhurried.

After grabbing a handful of peanuts from his pocket, he began to crack open the shells, threw them high into the air, then put them into his mouth, chewed them carefully, and suddenly said something.

"The assassination attempt on Zhou Xuan is about to begin."

"What...what?" Long Feng panicked. Although it was only a split second, Ji Yi still captured it accurately. She deliberately turned a blind eye.

"Through the investigation over the past few days, I have a rough idea of ​​a direction for action."

"But as the old saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy ensures victory in every battle. Before the official operation begins, I would like to learn more about him from you to ensure the success rate of this operation."

This was the purpose of Ji Yi's visit this time. In terms of attitude, she was still nonchalant, making Long Feng unable to find any point to refute.

Especially when it comes to her so-called direction of action, she didn't give it much thought.

"What do you want to know? Just to be clear, I don't necessarily know more than you do."

"Of course I know, prisoner general." Ji Yi sneered, his words still so rude, and the moment he opened his mouth, he hit Long Feng directly in the heart.

"I don't expect you to provide me with too much information about Zhou Xuan's strategic deployment and military planning."

"What I want to know is your opinion of him, and it would be best if you could share some of your personal habits in life."

When it comes to opinions, Long Feng may not be able to finish in a few words, but when it comes to personal habits? How can she know?

Just as Ji Yi had ridiculed, as a captured general, she had no chance to come into contact with Zhou Xuan.

Ji Yi shook his hands and said it was okay.

"It's okay to just have an opinion. Go ahead, I'm listening."

Having said this, Long Feng finally spoke.

"As for my opinion, in my eyes, Zhou Xuan has a very unique personal charm."

"He can always inadvertently use his words and actions to open your heart, enter your heart, and leave an indelible mark in your heart."

"If we follow what politicians say, it is a means to win people's hearts and minds. It is false and contrived."

"But no matter what, at least in my opinion, he is always dazzling. Just standing there, there is always an urge that makes you want to follow him."

"This is what she said to me before Suruga and I parted ways. I think it makes sense. Izumo and the others, as well as Suruga, have already proved this with their actions."

In other words, it has a similar ability to bewitch people, right?

Slowing down his chewing, Ji Yi's eyes flashed, and he summarized an insightful paragraph from the long speech provided by Long Feng.

"So, what about personal bravery?"

When it comes to summarizing Zhou Xuan's abilities, the careful Suruga can be said to be the one who knows it best.

But when it comes to evaluating his personal bravery, she has more say than anyone else.

The hard-earned three days of peace were achieved by her and Zhou Xuan fighting hard with swords.

"Before I used my ability, his swordsmanship was on par with mine, and he even slightly surpassed me."

"I can sense that he's showing some mercy. I don't know exactly how much, but I have a feeling that even if I use my abilities, I won't be able to win easily."

Regarding this result, Ji Yi was not as cautious as before, and instead did not take it seriously.

"I roughly understand it, so let's move on to the next one."

"Tell me about his relationship with other people, such as emotional ties."

"Why are you saying this?" Long Feng looked at Ji Yi in confusion and thought.

Could it be that she was also trapped in the vortex from which she could not extricate herself, just like herself?

Ji Yi was certainly not like that. In order to clear up Long Feng's doubts and at the same time retain some of her own bad taste, she swallowed the dried fruit she was chewing in her mouth before explaining.

"It's just my backup plan. Everyone has weaknesses. For someone like Zhou Xuan, I think those guys might be his weaknesses."

"If necessary, I can also use this to threaten Zhou Xuan to help me complete the mission."

So, what Ji Yi wants to do is to use hostages to threaten Zhou Xuan. Come to think of it, she is a killer, so how can she act in an upright manner?

Think about it again, how can Musashi and Mikasa not be birds of a feather with Kii?

This time, it was Long Feng who sneered.

"If this is what you want, then I can tell you that your backup plan has failed."

"Although he appears gentle on the outside, Zhou Xuan has never been a merciful person. He has never shown any sympathy to his generals, even those from Tiancheng."

"He would scold and reprimand them at every turn, and when he got angry, he would whip them, often in the middle of the night, and their voices could be heard in the dungeon."

"You expect him to surrender because of this? It's useless. In my opinion, you might as well prepare a shroud for yourself."

Ji Yi was stunned, and her hand holding the peanuts just stayed in mid-air, neither going up nor down, just like her little mouth that was open in surprise.

She really couldn't have expected that Zhou Xuan, who had been highly praised before, would suddenly become a demon who had done all kinds of evil things in her mouth, and acted so indignant.

If she had not seen it with her own eyes the night before, she might have believed it.

Retracting his thoughts, Ji Yi looked seriously at the indignant Long Feng in front of him, sneering in his heart.

But he didn't say anything. Just when Long Feng thought he had gotten away with it and felt lucky for some reason, he responded.

"In this way, I have found the real breakthrough. Soon, a good show will be staged, hahahaha~"

Ending with her customary hearty laughter, Ji turned and left her room and walked outside.

Finally, in broad daylight, in an unknown place, an evil smile appeared.
