"Naosuke, that's enough!" An old man's figure walked out of the shadow of the cell.
However, although he is said to be an old man, his actual age should only be around fifty or sixty. However, the other person's face is now haggard and his spirit is listless, which makes him look much older.
Mei Ji quietly pulled the little girl next to her and indicated with her eyes that this was the grandfather she just said she wanted to rescue together.
Now the situation is full of twists and turns. The newly appeared military attache led elite jailers to surround them. Fortunately, the opponent's target seemed to be the old prisoner, so Vivian and her group decided to wait and see what happened without saying a word.
On the other side, after the old man shouted angrily and interrupted the young military attache named "Naosuke", he lowered his voice and whispered:
"I asked why Tangtang Sin Prison Mountain, as the place where Da Zu guards the Qiandao prisoners, is a top priority. How could it be so easily entered and exited by a few foreigners? It turns out... you are the one who is causing trouble behind this! "
After the old man snorted, his sharp gaze was directed at the young military attaché opposite.
"Naosuke, are you doing this worthy of Lord Luo Sui who values you so much and even promoted you to the position of deputy!?"
After the old man said this, the little wolf cub narrowed his eyes.
The "foreigners" mentioned by the other party must be referring to Vivian and the others. So it seems...it seems that Zhao Jie is not the only one behind this prison break and rescue?
It's true that Prison Mountain is on Yueyuan Island. It's nothing. It's equivalent to the prison at the base of the imperial city. If it were a prison on other remote islands, it would be reasonable. But judging from the current prison escape, the defense force here is A little too stretched.
"Keisuke-sama, if this can make you change your mind and make you stop trying to get into trouble, then even if I, Kondo Naosuke, am dismissed from my post and held accountable, even if I am thrown into prison, as long as I can get you out, all of this will be worth it. It’s all worth it!”
"I believe that you will be able to find out the truth after you go out. After all, you are the veteran of the determination and implementation. When the time comes, both Lord Luo Sui and the palace minister will understand what I am doing tonight!"
The young military attache was not afraid of the old man's eyes and responded with unswerving persistence. Unfortunately, he still received angry scoldings.
"Nonsense! It's just nonsense! You, you, you...you are ruining your own future! You are rushing to give your own leverage to the enemy! You...hey..."
"Lord Keisuke! You even said the word "enemy"!" Instead of being angry at the old man's scolding, the young military attache was very excited.
"..."
"Naosuke, you don't understand, if there hadn't been the final judgment from the Palace Secretary, even if I risked my life, I would have fought to the death with those people, but, but..."
"Doesn't it happen that Mr. Palace Secretary makes mistakes?"
After a short moment of silence, the old man shook his head.
"The Lord Palace Secretary is the representative of the Water God. God...does not make mistakes. Even if there is a mistake, it is a mistake that we mortals think is wrong, just like the original incident of Da Zu's rebellion."
"Master Gong Si never looks at the present, but..."
"future."
Having said this, the old man's expression became a little lower. He seemed to have lost the strength to argue anymore. He dragged his body, turned around and returned to the dark corner of the cell.
"So, whether the little girl was forcibly taken away from the house on the pretext of being a candidate for a witch, or whether I was accused of hiding and resisting the election and became a prisoner, the Palace Secretary must be aware of all of this. It’s clear.”
"The reason why you are still silent must be... it must be... setting up a bigger plot, and what we mortals have to do is obey and cooperate."
"...That's all."
Others may not be able to see the old man who returned to the darkness due to the light problem, but the little wolf cub can clearly see that the old man huddled in the corner of the cell, his facial expression and finger movements at this moment are completely unlike his words. The tone was so calm and accepting.
The little wolf cub saw the distortion and pain on the old man's face, and also saw the countless scratches on the cold floor of the cell that were forcibly scratched by the old man's fingernails.
Angry.
The young military attache was completely angry.
His hands shook the prison bars so that they buzzed, and he even yelled at the old man hiding inside, in this midnight prison environment.
"Future? For me, my sister is my future!! If someone wants to use my sister's life in exchange for
The so-called bright future, then Mr. Keisuke, let me tell you, me! No! catch! by! "
"The so-called "future" is obtained by sacrificing the "now"... I am not Lord Palace Secretary, I am not a god. As a mortal, I cannot see the beauty of the "future", I can only see the pain of the "now"! "
"Lord Keisuke, you don't dare to go against God's ideas... Then, let me do it!"
Facing the young military attache's hoarse voice, there was no echo from the cell, as if he was no longer willing to talk.
When the young military attaché gradually returned calmly, his eyes finally fell on Vivian and his party, who had been listening and witnessing everything just now.
"Foreigners, you have all heard the conversation just now. The rescue of Lord Keisuke is an action that I have carefully planned and secretly planned for a long time. But because the matter is so important, I have been waiting for an opportunity."
"Now that it's time, I won't hide anything from you anymore. From the time those enemies who had plans for Qiandao attacked Lord Jingfu who was responsible for the survey, I had already predicted that the remaining two practices would definitely be affected. It's also part of their plan, and it turns out... as expected."
"There has been a huge change in the society, and Risa-sama has been dismissed from your post. As for you, I investigated the files and confirmed that you were also implicated and falsely accused and imprisoned. At this time, I received a tip from my subordinates that there was a Guili businessman. , are out there searching for information about you, and have repeatedly tried to contact the people who worship Da Zu."
Speaking of this, the young military attache snorted with a straight face.
"His intentions are too obvious. Normally, I would have directly arrested and interrogated the Guili businessman, but right now... I feel that this is the opportunity I have been waiting for, so I went with the flow and secretly The Guili businessman who helped you was operating within the Dazu practice, which is why you escaped from prison today."
"Originally, my plan was to use you as a cover to attract the enemy's attention, and I took the opportunity to take Lord Keisuke away from prison and replace him with his replacement, but now... "
Boom!
The young military attaché sulked and hammered the wall next to him.
It can be seen that Kondo Naosuke is a man. He openly revealed all the plans without hiding the fact that he was actually behind the scenes and wanted to take advantage of Vivian and others.
Gu Diao
However, the little wolf cub did not become hostile because of this. After all, there is no pie in the sky. Others will not help you for no reason and just take advantage of each other. Moreover, if the other party is willing to tell the truth, there must be a future. The purpose of talking is.
Then... as expected.
"Although my plan failed, I won't say it, so I will take you back. And I can feel that your strength is far greater than mine. Even if I want to, I don't have the ability."
The young military attache said as he glanced around. On the wrists of Vivian and Meiji, there was nothing, and the magic-sealing handcuffs were missing.
Next, Naosuke Kondo changed his tone.
"However, two ladies, even I know that you have a close relationship with Risa-sama. Then you will definitely escape from prison and escape. Not only will you be targeted by our Qiandao officials, but those traitors in the dark will definitely not do this. Forget it, I'll let you go. What's more, I also heard your previous conversation. Miss, you said you... still want to compete for the miko?"
The young military attache looked at Vivian.
The little girl nodded affirmatively.
"So... I understand. It seems that you must have a reason to do this, so I won't dissuade you. However, I need to tell you that the current Qiandao witch election is very different from the ancient traditional ceremony. .”
"Under the inaction or even deliberate connivance of Da Zu, more and more shady scenes have emerged. Women from wealthy families rely on buying witch candidates to gain high exposure among the people of Thousand Islands. And they continue to use this hype to defraud a large amount of people's wealth."
"And there are still some people who are beautiful women from poor families, or the wives and daughters of political opponents. It's ridiculous to say that some people want to buy qualifications, but some people..."
"These innocent people were forcibly identified as candidates for witchcraft by Dazu. They were all arrested and participated in the so-called internal training. If they dare not to resist, it would be disobedience and disrupting the election. Lord Jingfu's daughter... is also my sister, That’s how Kaori was taken away.”
When the young military attaché said this, Vivian couldn't bear it anymore and spoke angrily:
"Then why don't you report it to the Palace Secretary? Is the Palace Secretary just sitting back and ignoring this chaos? In addition to you, don't you have other people who can distinguish right from wrong?"
"I...my boss is also the first general second only to the head of the family in Da Zu's service. Lord Luo Sui had noticed the chaos in time when it had just begun to appear, and personally went to see the palace about it. Sir Si, but...refuse to see you."
The young military attaché said the last two words bitterly.
"Refuse to meet?"
"Yes, it's the same as the rebellion that Da Zu pursued, so..."
"The attitude of Lord Palace Secretary made many people like me, including Lord Luo Sui and Lord Jingfu, completely despair and stop intervening in the chaos, while those traitors became more and more rampant, and finally evolved into Now..."
The young military attache's voice became softer and softer, and his head lowered.
But soon, he clenched his fists again and aimed his fiery and pleading eyes at the little girl opposite who also had an indignant look on his face.
"Miss, I have heard a little bit about your deeds from your friend Guili, a businessman who is outside. There is even a writer who described what happened to your Astorogis at sea. , it’s written.”
"I immediately used some means to get the herb. Although there must be some exaggeration in it, after all, you can even repel and surrender the legendary Yamata no Orochi, so I...I I beg you, Miss, to help me!"
Wow!
All of a sudden, the young military attachés knelt down in front of Vivian.
And not only him, but also a group of elite warriors following him, all made the same kneeling action as their captain.
This scene seemed to have been rehearsed several times in advance.
"Okay! No problem, we have no obligation to refuse! It's up to me, Mei Ji, the greatest astrologer of this century, to change the fate of Thousand Islands!" The astrologer girl was exaggerated by the emotions at the scene and immediately stood up and patted her chest. Indignant.
There is a legend about the astrologer on the Astorogis in ancient times. He broke through the fog and saved the Thousand Islands. He was hailed as the greatest astrologer in the astrology community.
So now, since she, Mei Ji, has the same ambition, she should also do the same deeds worthy of being praised by future generations.
If you don’t fight now, wait until later! ?
However, the blood was full of enthusiasm. Unfortunately, after the brain power was over, the astrologer girl seemed to realize that it was not enough to rely on herself.
"Vivian! You, you must have the same idea as me, right? If we join forces again, it will be just like the one on the Astologis not long ago!"
Mei Ji looked at the little girl beside her expectantly with her big watery eyes like a spoiled child.
"Think about it, think about it, since you want to become a miko, you will definitely not be able to get around this hurdle. Don't hesitate! With such achievements by then, which candidate in this election can compare with her? You? You will be your witch, and I will be my greatest astrologer, hehe...ahem."
The astrology girl also knew that now was the time to get serious, so she coughed twice and waited for Vivian's response.
After a quick discussion with the little wolf cub, Vivian finally accepted the commission from the young military attache.
"Naosuke-sama, we have the same enemy, so it is best to join forces. But can I stop for a moment. What do you mean by assistance? You must have a target plan, right?"
"Of course! Thank you so much, little...Miss Vivian, my breakthrough point is the one I mentioned before, my sister Kaori. I have secretly sent someone to find out where she was arrested. There must be something fishy there. , and have hidden a lot of behind-the-scenes evidence, I am going to lead the team to make a surprise attack there. If I can have Miss Vivian’s help then, my chances of winning will definitely be greatly improved!”
"We'll talk about the detailed information after we get out. For now..."
Before the young military attache finished speaking to Vivian with his excited words, suddenly, several muffled sounds sounded from the prison corridor in the distance.
Accompanied by it, there is also a large... purple electric light.
As mages, Vivian and Mei Ji both felt the thunder element in the air rising sharply, the sizzling sound beating on people's nerves, and an aura as domineering as thunder approaching them at high speed.
Also under this scene, the young military attache's expression suddenly changed, full of disbelief.
Reflected by the thunderous purple light that flashed in his eyes, Kondo Naosuke lost his voice and said:
"How is it possible... Luo, why does Lord Luo Sui appear here!"
