"No matter what I do, I always find it difficult to see the true face of that shadow."

"Only when I'm with you, when you and I are fighting against each other, when our swords resonate with each other, can I use the light from the swords to see the face in the darkness clearly."

"Why don't you guess who that person I saw is?"

Having said that, the answer is basically clear, and there is not much point in guessing further.

Therefore, before Zhou Xuan could actually say it, Long Feng had already taken the lead.

He reeked of alcohol and spoke to Zhou Xuan, word by word, as if he was talking to himself.

"Yes, that person is you..."

"I want to get rid of you no matter what..."

Combined with Katsuragi's previous conclusion, Long Feng finally understood that whether from the surface or from the inside, the two of them were very much like a couple who loved and hated each other.

She is the same, she is in love without knowing it.

Even if it was a psychological hint Zhou Xuan gave her in private, or the little seed of love had taken root and sprouted, she didn't care.

At this moment, driven by long-accumulated emotions and the silent instigation of mellow alcohol, she no longer cared about anything else, pushed Zhou Xuan to the ground, and bit him hard.

From then on, the love and care went on silently, except for a few melodious chirping sounds lingering in each other's ears and into their hearts.

Chapter 326: Tenderness after the ups and downs

After a night of indulgence, Long Feng finally struggled to wake up from the dream. He opened his eyes and everything in front of him was so familiar and strange.

"Is this... Zhou Xuan's camp? I am..."

Lying flat had limited vision, so she wanted to move around a bit to broaden her field of vision.

Unexpectedly, her body reacted before her.

"Hmm... My head hurts... My body hurts too, it feels like it's about to be torn apart..."

This was the first time that Long Feng felt pain in his body and even in his soul since he became famous.

And when she gradually got used to the pain as her condition adjusted and time passed, she couldn't help but wonder what had happened last night.

"What happened yesterday? I just remember that I kissed Zhou Xuan..."

In fact, there was no need to guess at all. The moment she lowered her head, I understood everything.

Especially the strawberries with obvious marks on her delicate skin. All the signs clearly pointed to the man beside her, Zhou Xuan.

Things suddenly became clear, as if Pandora's box had been opened, and those crazy memories began to emerge in her mind.

"......"

It's hard to say, and now the feelings in my heart are even more complicated. Long Feng looked down at Zhou Xuan who was still resting on the side, and the words on his lips stopped and finally turned into a long sigh.

This also became a great opportunity to wake Zhou Xuan up. He opened his sleepy eyes and focused his gaze on her.

"What's wrong? Why don't you say anything and just look at me?"

Long Feng still ignored her, as if she was stunned. Her eyes remained on Zhou Xuan until he smiled.

"Are you going to do something to me?"

"For example, you tie me up and use me as a bargaining chip while I'm asleep, or you stab me in the chest when I can't resist?"

As he spoke, Zhou Xuan sat up from the bed, and the quilt overturned and slowly slid off him.

What was revealed was a body covered with strawberries, just like hers. As for who had done it, it was obvious.

Long Feng had just come to a conclusion when she saw Zhou Xuan leaning towards her, grabbing a pillow, and flipping in the air.

"Well, there is no murder weapon, so it seems to be the first option." Pretending to be a detective, Zhou Xuan said seriously, but he provoked her to retort.

"No, you are right. I did want to kill you, but I just didn't have the chance to do so."

Zhou Xuan smiled. He looked at the hypocritical girl in front of him, and saw that she was naked with the water-drop jade ball hanging in front of her, and teased her.

"Is it because he didn't have enough time to succeed, or is it because he couldn't bear to do it? Long Feng."

"Can't we be truly honest with each other until now? It's obvious that you were the real you yesterday."

"Really? I didn't know that was the real me..." Taking over Zhou Xuan's words, Long Feng's tone was very calm, but one could vaguely hear a hint of regret.

However, as her will became firmer, this already faint sigh completely disappeared with the wind.

"Do you know what a chance meeting is? I think this is the best way to describe what happened to us yesterday."

"Even if it was a sincere expression, even if it was unintentional, it's all in the past."

"Today, you are you, and I am still me. These things have not changed."

It can be understood that the two of them did not really get together, but they got together because of an emotional outburst, and it was a so-called one-night stand.

But if they hadn't been hiding their true feelings from each other, how could there have been this moment of emotional outburst?

Long Feng never understood this simple truth, or rather, she was unwilling to understand it.

Zhou Xuan understood it clearly. He did not try to persuade or try to keep her, nor did he feel that all his efforts were in vain.

At least, through last night, he had seen the real her.

So, he just nodded and agreed with her.

"when are we leaving?"

"Right now, let me pack up and then leave."

Although he said this, Long Feng was still sitting on the bed without taking any action.

Zhou Xuan couldn't help but be curious, so he leaned towards her, hugged her from behind, and saw everything she saw.

Long Feng didn't notice it, or rather, she didn't reject Zhou Xuan's contact. She stared blankly at her clothes scattered on the ground, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"this...."

Anticipating her prediction, Zhou Xuan spoke up and interrupted her.

"You did this yourself, not me. I wanted to help you undress, but I was the one who was suppressed from the beginning to the end."

"I...I didn't say that, don't think too much about it." Long Feng explained quickly, her tender cheeks turning red, which was rare.

"Okay, stop touching me and let me go. I'm going to find my clothes."

Zhou Xuan let go of her hand, and she quickly got up from the bed like a frightened bird.

After running around, I finally found the clothes that were scattered on the ground.

Just as I reached the bedside, I heard him speak again.

"I told you, right? Everything here is full of weirdness."

"You call yourselves ancient people, samurai, daimyo, and living in an ancient era."

"But how do you explain this? This is the clothing you actually wear. Its style is not what you should have in this era, right?"

This was quite true. Long Feng lowered her head involuntarily and re-examined the clothes in her hands.

The long boots, the small military uniform, and especially the three-point pink top, all these signs indicate the credibility of Zhou Xuan's words.

But where did her partner go?

Long Feng widened his eyes in surprise, and when he looked up, he saw the young man lying on his side with his head supported by his hand, shaking and waving.

In his hands, the pink whirlwind that kept swirling around his fingertips was the underwear she was concerned about.

Unable to hold back his anger, Long Feng snatched the thing from Zhou Xuan's fingertips, his face turning even redder.

"You bastard..."

"Hey, you were the one who took it off and stuffed it on me yesterday! It's none of my business, apologize now!"

The words are out, just like spilled water, how can they be taken back?

Long Feng did not do as he wished. Instead, what they now have to face is saying goodbye to each other.

This moment of liberation that they had longed for, turned out to be a shackle that bound the dragon and the phoenix.

Finally, under Zhou Xuan's considerate suggestion, she accepted his request to escort her for a distance, and they came together under a banyan tree on the way.

Chapter 327: Sword pointed at Zhou Xuan, Ji Yi took action

"I still hope you can convey my thoughts to everyone in the city."

"We are not the villains who started the war, but the situation has changed. If we don't take action now, it will be too late."

"But how can you guarantee that everything Akagi said is true? Mikasa, the royalist, has not spoken yet, so her words are not that credible."

"At least that's how other people see it. Your behavior is not reasonable enough after all."

"The truth is in Kyoto Prefecture. Once we enter the city and meet Musashi, everything will become clear. We should be patient first and then act. Sooner or later, the world will recognize us."

Be patient before releasing, which can be regarded as a kind of enlightenment on his part. If you taste it carefully, it also has the flavor of sticking to one path until the end.

It turned out that in her impression, Zhou Xuan, who was always naked and calm, would also have such an impulsive side.

It was a pity that no matter how moved she was, she had to advise him one last time.

Suddenly, as if mustering up enough courage, Long Feng came forward, hugged him and said.

"Let go, Zhou Xuan. Your current achievements are already quite good. If you surrender to the court in time, you can still retain your original status."

"In this way, you don't have to lose everything. You can return to your fiefdom and live a comfortable life with Tiancheng all day long."

"I can also submit my resignation, give up all my fame and fortune, come to your side, and grow old with you."

"This kind of life isn't bad. If you go any further, you'll die."

"Although I don't want to admit it, Musashi's strength is not on the same level as ours."

"The exact height is still unknown, but I guess that even if all the royalists were added together, they might not be able to defeat her alone."

"This is just her strength alone, not to mention the capable people in her camp."

"They are not something that can be easily countered by the yellow chicken soldiers. In the face of absolute strength, numbers are just a bonus and will not play any role."

"What's more, Kii has set her sights on you. She is a killer under Musashi and her overall strength ranks among the top three. If she really wants to kill you, you won't be able to escape."

After going around in circles, the question finally came back to asking him to give up the struggle and save himself. Zhou Xuan understood what he meant.

But he was unwilling to make any changes. The road to finding the truth has always been difficult. If there is really suffering and threats, then let him start with himself, with Zhou Xuan.

This was the answer he gave, and also his realization. Surprise was mixed with a little disappointment, and with bright eyes, Long Feng loosened his arms and looked at him.

"Ah, there's really nothing I can do about you. You're just as stubborn as Akagi. I don't know why you ended up getting married to Amagi."

"Forget it. Since you have made your decision, I won't say any more. Anyway, I still say the same thing. Be careful not to die. I won't shed a single tear for you."

Here it comes again. The duplicity of saying one thing and thinking another was vividly displayed in his eyes. Zhou Xuan just smiled and gave a confident response that was unique to him.

"Then let her come. I'm not afraid."

"Oh~ Are you really not afraid?"

Before Long Feng could speak, a voice came out from nowhere, with words full of teasing.

No one expected that there would be other people in such a warm occasion, and the three of them, including the bodyguard Ayanami, looked around vigilantly and were on high alert.

Not long after, the man jumped down from the tree and slowly walked towards them.

She has a tall, royal figure, a simple bright red palace dress, and a pair of tall fox ears that sway as she moves forward. She is exactly the killer that Longfeng mentioned. Ji Yi is not bad.

"It's fine if they're on guard against me, but Long Feng, why are you looking like this? Didn't we discuss countermeasures and how to assassinate Zhou Xuan?"

"Why are you staring at me so seriously? To be honest, I have to thank you for bringing Zhou Xuan to me alone."

"This will give me more opportunities to kill this foreigner who is an accomplice to the evil."

After these words were spoken, Long Feng's situation became a little awkward, especially Ayanami, whose eyes were as cold as arrows and she even wanted to kill her.

But she couldn't refute it because everything Ji Yi said was real.

At the first moment, she subconsciously wanted to explain to Zhou Xuan, but the moment their eyes met, Zhou Xuan gave her a shot of cardiotonicity in advance.

"I believe you, Long Feng. I believe you who says one thing and means another. I believe that what I saw was not just a casual act as she said."

Long Feng was speechless. She looked at Zhou Xuan's burning gaze quietly, feeling the same way, and gripped the sword even tighter.
