My mother's love song

Rhodes turned his head and glanced, and found a strong and sturdy man wearing a bamboo hat approaching behind him.

"What's the matter? I'm in a hurry and don't have time to sign autographs for anyone." Rhodes replied coldly.

"I didn't expect that it was just as the rumors said. The Ogosho actually walked alone without attendants or a bullock cart."

The man's voice was full of joy and excitement.

"…Even the Emperor poops in person."

Rod noticed that he had two samurai swords on his waist.

I see. Is he an assassin?

This happens occasionally recently.

When he was walking on the street, a man suddenly rushed out from the side, shouting "Respect the emperor and punish the traitor! Heaven will punish the traitor!", and drew his sword towards Rhodes without saying a word.

It seems that in the eyes of a small number of radical elements, the Ogosho has become a symbol of treacherous usurpation of imperial power and deceiving the emperor.

In addition, he never brought any followers with him when he went out, nor did he ride in a bullock cart, so he was targeted several times.

Rhodes sighed. It was really troublesome.

But then the man pulled out a shiny samurai sword from his waist and muttered something.

"I guess you are the Gion-ryu, known as the strongest swordsman in Heian. The ultimate style that transcends human knowledge... I have long heard of your name."

Gion school.

This is both the name of a certain sword-fighting school that has recently gained fame in Japan, and it is also the name given to the young man who is hailed as the Sword Saint by his fellow swordsmen.

Having already mastered the principles of swordsmanship at the age of only fourteen, he is undoubtedly considered the strongest sword genius in history and the ultimate dream of all those who pursue kendo.

"I am Goto Saburo, the eighth-generation successor of the Tozan Ittoryu. I will defeat you here, and rely on your reputation to become famous and immortal! Please teach me..."

"...What? You're here to challenge me. I'm busy now, so don't interfere with my sex life."

Rhodes picked up the cat-toying stick in his hand and hit him on his Adam's apple. The eight-foot-tall man let out a strange cry and then fell to the ground with a bang.

The boy didn't even look at him and continued on his way.

"What on earth is that Gui Yi Fa Yan doing? Didn't I ask her to handle the guys who came to challenge me on my behalf?"

When Rhodes returned home, the girls' gathering had already ended. Musashi, the demon girl Momiji and Miss Tsuru had all gone back to their homes.

"........."

"What's wrong? You look like the sky is falling?" Nuozi asked her husband, staring at his pale face.

"Here, a souvenir."

"Wow...why did you buy so much? The house is already full of snacks."

Rhodes stuffed the snacks to Nuozi without saying a word and walked into the house with his head down in frustration.

"and many more."

Sei Shonagon grabbed Rhodes by the back of his collar.

"What's wrong? If you have anything to say, come to my room and talk. I'm going to rest for a while. I met an assassin on the way."

How should a wife react when she hears that her husband encountered a gangster on his way home?

I should be horrified, right?

But Nuozi looked indifferent.

After all, there was no one in Heian-kyō who could hurt Rhodes.

She said, "Mitsu no Okada, shall we take a ride on the oxcart and go for a stroll along Lake Biwa?"

"Aha?"

Rhode frowned: "Going to Lake Biwa in the middle of the night?"

"Lake Biwa at night is also very interesting."

Sei Shonagon shook her husband's arm and acted like a spoiled brat: "Sometimes I want to ride a bullock cart and tour Lake Biwa at night."

Rhodes: "..."

I always feel that this innocent and beautiful Ping An has a hint of ulterior motive hidden in her smile today.

Could it be that you have made an appointment with your lover to call me out at night to kill me? If that's the case, I will cry, kill you and then jump into the lake to commit suicide.

"What lover? I'm different from someone else, but I love only one man wholeheartedly and wholeheartedly."

Sei Shonagon held Rhodes' face with a smile, and heard a sound like something was about to crack inside his head.

"S-Sorry...I was just joking. Madam, I know I was wrong."

Rhodes nodded hesitantly.

This guy, if he logs into FGO, he will definitely have Berserker aptitude... he thought with lingering fear.

"Great! Then I'll go call Xiaoxiang! Hehehe, the three of us will take a oxcart to visit Lake Biwa together!"

"Ah? Three people? Miss Xiangzi is going too?"

Without waiting for Rhodes to ask, Sei Shonagon excitedly rushed towards Murasaki Shikibu's room.

……

……

……

Rhodes, Sei Shonagon and Murasaki Shikibu came out of their house and boarded the oxcart without any entourage as usual.

With the sound of wheels rolling over sand and gravel, the ox cart slowly drove away from Kyoto in the night.

Inside the carriage, Rhodes and Sei Shonagon sat side by side, and Noko had been sitting with her arms folded and keeping silent since just now.

Murasaki Shikibu sat opposite them with her hands on her knees, looking uneasy. It was obvious that she was also forced into the car by Noko, just like Rhodes.

The faint fragrance lingering in the carriage was emanating from Murasaki Shikibu and Sei Shonagon, mixed with the slight smell of sweat on Rhodes' body, and was also stained with his scent.

More than an hour had passed since they set out, and they had been very quiet along the way.

The small oxcart compartment was so quiet that it seemed like a foreign land.

The sound of clothes rustling, the sound of swallowing saliva, and the sound of hips moving on the seat, all three of them could hear it clearly.

Before he knew it, Rhodes' eyes met with Murasaki Shikibu, who was sitting opposite him, in the dark.

"...!"

Xiangzi avoided the gaze in panic.

When she lowered her head, her dignified and beautiful face was flushed in the night.

Rhodes: "..."

Soon the ox cart reached the south bank of Lake Pipa.

Rod raised the window curtain and looked out.

The night air, mixed with the fresh, ripe smell of leaves, seeped into the carriage.

The blue moonlight also shone into the carriage, splashing on the twelve kimonos of Sei Shonagon and Murasaki Shikibu, making the two of them even more beautiful. The snow-white necks of the kimono beauties exposed to the air were also so conspicuous.

Lake Biwa is a famous tourist attraction in Kyoto, but there would naturally be no people there so late at night.

The moonlight was reflected on Lake Biwa, and the willow trees on the shore were swaying in the wind, but otherwise there was no other life.

It seemed as if the only things left in the vast world were the moving ox cart and the three people inside it.

"Stop the car."

Sei Shonagon suddenly rang the bell in the carriage, and the black ox pulling the cart stopped as if it understood human words.

"Oh~~~ I've been sitting for so long, my butt is numb~~~"

Sei Shonagon stretched and said to the other two, "I'm going to go down and take a walk by the lake. Why don't you guys rest in the car for a while?"

"Then I too..."

As Rhodes was about to stand up, he was met with a vicious glare from Sei Shonagon.

Don’t come over here, that’s what his eyes said.

"........."

"My dear husband, Nuozi just wants to pick some flowers. Do you have to make it so clear? You can just stay in the car and talk to Xiaoxiang."

“Oh, oh…”

Sei Shonagon got off the car alone, leaving only Rhodes and Murasaki Shikibu in the small and cramped carriage.

Chapter 731: Peaceful Style Tryst

On a full-moon night, the silver light shines obliquely on Lake Biwa.

The moonlight was like water, covering the ox cart. With the bright moonlight and the faint candlelight, Rhodes looked at the beauty under the moon.

In keeping with the dim environment of the carriage, Murasaki Shikibu, who was sitting opposite the young man, exuded a kind of devilish, hesitant, dark and seductive aura.

"Ms. Xiangzi, would you like to drink? I remember there is wine in the car."

Rhodes suddenly spoke.

"Ah...Okay, I'll leave it to you then."

Following Sei Shonagon's prior instructions, Rhodes found two wine glasses and a pot of wine at the corresponding location.

"After I get off the bus, Guang Zhiqin, you will persuade Xiaoxiang to drink. Do you understand?"

Before leaving home, Noko had seriously planned to her husband to "get Murasaki Shikibu drunk and then do something indecent."

Although this magnanimity of a wife is touching, but... she actually instigated her husband to seduce her own friend. What kind of person is she?

Rhodes muttered to himself as he opened his magic eye and peeked inside the wine jug.

"What's wrong, Your Highness?"

Xiangzi, who felt the fluctuation of magic power, asked in confusion.

"Nothing, just checking."

Rhodes shook his head.

The wine jug contained normal wine, without any aphrodisiac added.

Humph, even if it was Nuozi, it's impossible for her to go so far as to do this...

"Ha ha……"

Xiangzi looked at the boy checking the drinks and smiled with her hands covering her mouth.

Seeing Rhode's puzzled expression, she said, "You are no longer the same as before. You are the most honorable Grand Imperial Palace in the world. You must be on guard against poisoning..."

"Even you are making fun of me, Miss Xiangzi."

"Eh? That's not what I meant..."

"Pour me some wine," said Rhodes.

"Oh, yes, okay."

Murasaki Shikibu reached out and took the wine jug from the boy.

However, she was too nervous and lost her grip, causing the jug to slip from her fingers.

"oops……!"

With Xiangzi's scream, the wine jug fell between Rhodes' legs.

Suddenly, the smell of alcohol filled the entire car, and a transparent liquid quickly spread between the boy's legs.

“Ahhhhh… I’m sorry, Your Highness!”

Murasaki Shikibu was at a loss for words and apologized quickly, then she knelt down in front of the boy and took out a silk handkerchief to wipe the wine stains between his legs.

"........."

What a cliché plot, Rhodes thought, it was a great help.
