"What a luxury..."
After a sumptuous but somewhat torturous dinner, it seemed that there was not much to talk about this night. Under the respectful guidance of the servant, Gu Mo came to the guest room prepared for him. He saw the dim room under the dim swaying candlelight. The room still looks luxurious.
The tatami is flat and smooth, and you feel comfortable and warm when you step on it. The screen used to separate the inside and outside is extremely exquisite. The calligraphy, paintings and wall porcelain that decorate the room look valuable. Everything is extremely exquisite and exquisite, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Gorgeous and precious...
Looking around like this, even the well-informed Gu Mo, who came from a later generation, couldn't find anything wrong. Apart from the lack of various convenient technologies to improve the quality of life, guest rooms of this size are no better than modern ones in other aspects. The living conditions are much inferior... even modern people may not have such conditions.
But it is normal. No matter what era it is, no matter ancient or modern, China or foreign countries, the conditions enjoyed by the ruling class are far beyond the average of the era. Because the general public itself represents the overall level of development of the era, but the ruling class will always focus on the support of the entire era.
Gu Mo wanted to understand this and fell silent for a moment.
He just thought that the bad old man was just a talker, with a bad attitude on the surface, but in fact the arrangements for him were very considerate, but now it seems... maybe the guest rooms here are all of this specification, after all, they can be in the castle tower. The guests who are received are usually very respected, and they should not be divided into different categories.
So...it's not that the bad old man Saito Douzan made thoughtful arrangements, but that he couldn't find any worse conditions to treat himself?
Well, if you think about it this way, it seems quite possible...
He twitched the corner of his mouth and couldn't help but think of the weird dinner party just now - although there were only four people, Saito Douzan still served everyone with good wine and food. If it weren't for Hidechiyo who was really very... If he resisted, maybe he was planning to keep the running water mat open until dawn.
Not to mention the big fish and meat, all the cattle and sheep were brought up one after another, without any consideration of whether it could be eaten by just a few people. He was just an old father who desperately wanted to give his daughter the best. image and feeling.
If it were just like this, Gu Mo actually admired this viper. They said that the most ruthless emperor was the emperor. However, as the overlord of one side and the leader of the Meino Kingdom who was feared by all the great names, Saito Douzan did not have everything. They all consider issues from the perspective of how to maintain their power position.
——Out of a common wish with Suzuka, he decisively transferred from Demon Slayer to Sengoku Daimyo, not for fame and fortune, but to create a peaceful world where humans and spirits live in harmony. Vision.
——The reason why he secretly instructed Tokichiro and others to collect a large number of spiritual stones was not to achieve his own ambitions, but to prevent others from abusing them.
——After thinking that Oda Nobunaga had the ability to unify this troubled world, he wrote the ceding state certificate without any nostalgia and handed over the entire Mino.
He is a very complicated but not contradictory person. He pursues power not because he is interested in power itself, but only regards it as a means to realize his ambitions from beginning to end. He is very clear about what he wants, and he is very clear about what he wants. Don't be confused, even the driving force for all this comes from his feelings and commitment to his closest relatives and loved ones.
Therefore, Gu Mo originally admired him quite a lot and felt that this was the true life of satisfying grudges and living a clear life...
Of course, that's just the original.
The bad old man looked disgusted with him. One second he was still smiling and talking to Axiu. His tone should be gentle and gentle, his expression should be kind and kind, and the next second he turned his head immediately. The head stared at him with a vicious look and started...
Snapped! Gone! .JPG
"There's something really wrong..."
Sitting on the ground with his arms folded, it was not only Saito Douzan that bad old man who was unhappy, Gu Mo was also getting angry thinking about it.
He admitted that he did have selfish motives, but in any case, this was a good thing, allowing the long-lost father and daughter to recognize each other in advance, instead of delaying the discovery until the end like the original fate. , the next moment we recognized each other, we were separated forever.
But now it seems that he originally wanted to take advantage of the situation, thinking that it could effectively reduce the difficulty of the next scene, but this seems to have completely had the opposite effect...
Gu Mo felt his teeth itching when he thought of the bad old man's disapproval of him. He was actually not that slow. He could basically understand what was going on and why the bad old man suddenly had such a big attitude towards him. hostility, but this kind of thing is difficult to explain.
Especially when the other party has already preconceived ideas and looks at me through colored glasses, even if I want to take the initiative to clarify, it may only aggravate the suspicion, which feels like there is no silver in this place.
He is really experienced in this. When a person identifies something and is very concerned about it, it is not possible to clear up the misunderstanding with a few simple explanations. After all, if the world is like this It's beautiful, if human beings are so simple, there will be no disputes.
Crossing his arms, frowning and thinking for a long time, Gu Mo let out a long sigh, feeling that he could only do this for the time being.
Anyway, the old man could only glare at him when Axiu couldn't see him. He didn't dare to say anything too unpleasant in person. He could just pretend that he didn't see him. As long as some time passed, the bad old man would realize that it wasn't all that bad. You will naturally understand what is going on.
In this situation, it is better to let the other party observe, discover, and explain for himself... at least it is much better than Gu Mo trying to explain it and then getting darker and darker.
At the same time, he was also thinking with evil intentions. If the old man was really so discerning and still trying to get into trouble, then he would... he would...
He didn't know what to do. He shook his head vigorously to drive away the distracting thoughts in his mind. He stretched and looked around to prepare for a good rest. Since leaving Jusanying Village the day before yesterday, his work and rest time has suddenly changed from extremely regular to very irregular.
But it was mainly because during these two days of travel, when he was exploring his system, he not only discovered the reason why he couldn't wake up every day, but also figured out a way to temporarily alleviate the problem, a method that could allocate his online time. method.
That is to take the initiative to sleep - he found that as long as he slept enough, he could allocate his active online time to other time periods, instead of being forced to fix it in the period from midnight to eight o'clock in the morning... That's it It must be asleep to be effective. This is the only difficulty in operation.
During the past two days on the road, whenever he had nothing to do, Gu Mo would close his eyes and rest his mind, forcing himself to sleep whenever he could.
This is why he can still continue to move at this time today.
After covering himself with the prepared clean quilt, he lay down in the quilt and closed his eyes. Let's just leave it at that. There is no need to think too much. Even if he is targeted by the bad old man, as long as he understands what is going on, the old guy can only stare.
Meinong's viper? Lord of one city and one country? so what?
Not only does Gu Mo know it thoroughly and has enough confidence, but also his understanding of the world is somewhat inclined to the direction of "dungeon" because of his past game impressions. As a player, even if he doesn't subjectively The sense of superiority will inevitably lead to unconscious psychological advantages in front of the indigenous people.
She is just an NPC. As long as she is not his wife, he is no different from other NPCs...
That's it.

"so good……"
In the guest room on the other side, Tokichiro looked at this luxurious and exquisite room and felt dazzled. He took a deep breath and felt that there was an intoxicating light fragrance in the air. This was not an illusion, but a corner of the room. The incense burner has been lit, and the light smoke is lingering, and the fragrance is fragrant.
The fragrance is fragrant, the smell is mellow, elegant, refreshing, and has the effect of calming the mind and calming the mind.
This is the daily life of the upper class. I have only heard about it in the past, but I can only imagine it, but I can't afford it. It is only today that I have fallen into the glory of Miss A Xiu...
Feeling the class gap so intuitively, Tokichiro was not discouraged, but secretly made up his mind, and became even more determined that he must seize this opportunity and get ahead.
But just when he was clenching his fists to cheer himself up, the door to the room was suddenly opened. The monkey-like thin man turned around subconsciously. The next moment, he was frightened and stuttered, his voice was all broken. Trembling: "Tao, Tao, Tao, Tao, three... Sir!!"
His face suddenly turned pale, and his lips lost all color. Why did Lord Dao San suddenly come to his room at this time, with a gloomy expression of displeasure on his face? Could it be that he finally remembered what happened before and wanted to kill him to silence him?
"Monkey! Let me ask you something. Tell me the truth about where you met Axiu."
Saito Michizan walked directly into the room and went straight to the topic.
It's not that he was suspicious and wanted to confirm something, but it was hard to ask in front of Axiu just now. Now when everyone had gone back to their rooms to sleep, he couldn't help but come to Fujikiro, wanting to know more about it and take a look. What kind of life has my daughter been living these years?
"ah?"
Tokichiro, whose legs were so weak that he almost knelt down and begged for mercy, opened his mouth wide when he heard this and was unable to react for a while.
Aren't you here to silence yourself?
"Ah, what are you talking about? Come on!" Saito Douzan scolded dissatisfiedly, glared, and reiterated the order with astonishing momentum.
"Oh oh oh, okay, okay, yes, that's it, Master Dao San..." Tonight's mood was like riding a roller coaster. Tokichiro spoke with a bit of fear. He forced himself to calm down and thought quickly at the same time. Organizational language.
"According to your instructions, I have been traveling around to collect spiritual stones during this period. I went to a somewhat remote place just half a month ago..."
Along with his narration, Saito Douzan was also listening silently, and finally knew how his daughter came here all these years. If the information the monkey inquired about was correct, there had been rumors among those villages for a long time. The story of the demon master, then Axiu might have been making a living on his own a long time ago and making a career out of hunting demons.
In this way, Shen Fangye...that woman probably encountered an accident not long after she left him, but within a few years, only Axiu, who was still very ignorant, survived.
While I felt extremely sad, I also felt increasingly guilty.
Saito Michizan let out a long sigh, and seemed to be a little depressed. However, not long after he was in this state, he immediately thought of something again, with an unhappy look on his face: "By the way, there is that little boy! He is again What's going on! Tell me!"
"Brother Gu Mo?" Hou Hou thought for a while and said cautiously, "He seems to be a wise man, and maybe he comes from a rich or noble background, but I don't know why he ended up in this place..."
Saito Douzan's eyes flashed slightly, and the monkey's eyes were quite vicious. Of course he also noticed this. At first glance, that hateful boy was not a toiler. He was definitely used to being pampered. It could even be said that It's priceless beyond words.
——Even he can't imagine what kind of background he has to be able to develop such... well, develop such "noble spirit".
Don't say anything else, the banquet in the evening alone is sumptuous enough. If Saito Douzan didn't want to please his precious daughter, he would not be willing to eat like that every time, but that boy is so good, he is totally He looked like he was not satisfied with the food, and even tasted nothing.
Common people rarely get a bit of meat all year round. If they can eat meat, it is considered a New Year. However, it is difficult for the princes and the overlords of various countries to eat whole cows and whole sheep. But this kid is so good, it is so uncomfortable to eat. , did he grow up eating dragon liver and phoenix marrow? Does it taste so bad?
What's more, the feeling shown in words, deeds, and conversations is a bit biased to say that it is neither humble nor arrogant. It should be said that everyone is treated equally... That's right, it's not in front of him that the boy behaves neither humble nor arrogant, but himself In the eyes of that boy, he could only be treated equally.
It seems that in the eyes of the other party, he, the overlord of Meinong, is just like everyone else, nothing special.
This is really fucking evil.
Although he did not want to show off his status and reputation, Saito Douzan also knew that it was impossible for ordinary people to behave like this in front of him. It was already quite good to be able to speak clearly.
To sum up, even though the boy was dressed as a civilian and had nothing of value on him, the various details, temperament, and even the habits hidden in his words and deeds revealed how he lived in a past. In such an atmosphere.
So...it's priceless.
Making this judgment, Saito Douzan nodded secretly in his heart. The most rare thing is that he has developed such a noble spirit because of his past life, but that boy does not show any arrogance, not to mention those things that cannot be changed in a short time. custom details, at least subjectively he did a good job.
No matter what the reason for falling into this country, it seems that they have calmly accepted the fact and are trying hard to adapt to the new identity environment...
If it weren't for A Xiu, he would probably have admired how extraordinary this person was.
"I didn't ask you to say this. I'm asking you, how is his relationship with Axiu?" Saito Douzan asked in a deep voice after gathering his thoughts.
"The relationship with Miss Axiu..."
Faced with this question, Tokichiro answered without hesitation: "Very good! Master Dao San, from the villain's point of view, they have been together a long time ago. When I rushed to Jusan Sakura Village again, I saw It’s them who…”
He artistically processed the scene and then recounted it, and finally concluded:
"The villain also asked him at that time. He said that Miss Axiu is the most special and important person to him, and Miss Axiu also acquiesced and did not object to this statement at all..."
"..."
"..."
"That's it..." Saito Douzan's expression changed. For a while, he seemed a little relieved, but also a little disappointed. He seemed to be gnashing his teeth and talking to himself.
Sure enough, this was the case. Since Axiu said so, there was nothing he could do.

"Ah sneeze!"
In her room, the black-haired girl who couldn't sleep because of the unfamiliar environment sneezed, then rubbed her small nose carelessly, her eyes still staring at the ceiling in a daze.
Everything that happened today was too much of a shock to her.
