Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 828

Su Chang readily agreed and then used her agility to slip away.

She was very clear-headed.

She understood that her husband wanted to reward his sister.

Su Yi, who also understood what was going on, hesitated to speak, but seeing that Kosaka Kyosuke was hugging her and his hot breath was getting stronger and stronger, she could only close her eyes slightly, feeling a little shy.

Before long, Kyosuke Kosaka picked up Su Yi and placed her on his lap, whispering sweet nothings to her.

It's quite fun to pamper your dignified and elegant wife like a child.

Fortunately, Su Yi doesn't mind this, which is great.

Half an hour later.

The Yamada family, who were still preparing to leave, were treated with utmost respect as honored guests and invited to a small estate with more exquisite decorations and furnishings.

Hoshika and Nijika, who were following behind Yamada Junpei, Yumi, and Yamada Ryo, were quite surprised.

Xingge, however, vaguely understood what was going on.

Because she personally witnessed a maid politely approaching to inquire if there was a physician who knew how to treat women.

She is called a doctor, but more accurately, she is a female doctor.

Then, Yumi didn't intend to hide her identity as a female doctor, and before she knew it, she was persuaded to stay.

Xingge strongly suspected that some noblewoman here might be ill.

"The occupational risks for doctors in this era seem to be quite high, but can Mr. Junpei and Mrs. Yumi, whose status is clearly lower than that of the Onmyoji, refuse...?"

No.

This is definitely not possible.

Xingge was very uneasy.

But there's no use in being anxious; all we can do is wait.

Junpei Yamada thought the same thing.

Later that evening, Wei Zheng specially arranged a small banquet to entertain him, and only then did he understand what was going on. Without thinking, he agreed.

The idea of ​​seeking refuge with nobles was still far from being realized. In fact, due to the haste of fleeing for their lives, they hadn't even sent a letter beforehand. Even after arriving in Kyoto, they would still have to send a letter and wait several days for a response...

In comparison, the fact that a powerful official in Beijing was willing to instruct his subordinates to recruit him was already a sign of great respect.

Having studied history, he understood perfectly.

Some descendants of high-ranking officials would decline after being demoted according to the official rank system and gradually becoming unable to maintain their family's status.

And the noble families he sought refuge with seemed to follow the same pattern in history, so it would be better to simply accept the olive branch extended by powerful officials in the capital.

Day 313 of crossing

Shuibusi Manor.

The Yamada family, who had already accepted the offer, were organizing people to begin registering their detailed information.

Xingge and Hongxia were naturally among them.

The two sisters, who were waiting in the house for a summons to register, were chatting idly.

"Sister, judging from Mr. Junpei and Mrs. Yumi's guesses, the reason for recruiting them is related to their medical skills."

"I see. Wasn't it for treating someone?"

"It doesn't seem so, at least not at the moment, there are no anxious patients appearing."

“Indeed, right now we’re more focused on confirming everyone’s identity…” Xingge said, nodding as she spoke.

order.

This is well reflected in this large estate.

Having spent a considerable amount of time in society, Xingge clearly understands one principle: the environment is an extension of the manager's will.

The fact that order is emphasized here shows that the true owner is a person who values ​​rules.

In this era, they would definitely be the best people to rise to power.

We should be secretly grateful to have met someone like this now.

The man praised by Hoshika had just sent Kagura, Yukino and the others to the shrine and was on his way to the Mizubushi Manor, intending to spend some more time with Sushang today.

Incidentally, Yaodao-hime and Shiro also got together one after another.

However, on the way, Kyosuke Kosaka discovered another group of people from the direction of Izumi Province carrying luggage and running towards his manor.

Why does it always seem to veer towards him?

Having no other choice, Kyosuke Kosaka had to make a special appearance and give directions.

After giving directions, he went to a place quite far from the Shuibu Si Manor and made a simple road sign.

During the production process, Kousaka Kyosuke heard a rustling sound of footsteps, glanced in the direction, and spoke.

"There's no road here. If you want to go, follow the road to the east and go straight to the official road..."

Before he could finish speaking, Kyosuke Kousaka's expression underwent a subtle change.

There were five people who came.

Three men and two women.

Three middle-aged men, a woman around thirty years old, and a girl of sixteen or seventeen.

Each of them carried luggage, and behind them, a short-legged horse struggled to walk with a lot of things on its back.

Judging from their clothes and belongings, they should be relatively wealthy.

Two of the middle-aged men had bulging muscles and exuded a rugged aura, clearly indicating that they were martial artists.

That's not the point. The point is that Kyosuke Kousaka just met these people.

They were noticed by Kyosuke Kosaka among the fleeing crowd because of their overall cleanliness.

So, you just don't trust him?

"Alright, I understand that you don't believe the one-sided story of a stranger. Then you can just make the trip again."

Kyosuke Kosaka smiled and continued making the notice board.

I originally wanted to stop talking, but that felt awkward, so I decided to finish what I was saying.

As a result, it still left people feeling lost and confused.

"..."

The group remained silent, exchanging bewildered glances.

Just as the scholarly-looking man stepped forward to say something, he heard hurried footsteps behind him.

Someone is running!

It was as if they were chasing after something.

"Sir, Madam, Miss, please move aside." One of the two warriors' expressions changed suddenly, and he drew the short sword from his waist.

"It doesn't have to be so troublesome."

Kyosuke Kosaka said something casually.

With a flick of his wrist, he summoned several spiritual strikes, and a group of people holding clubs and stones in the distance instantly fell to the ground.

Boom!

The continuous thuds were the effect of dominoes.

What a melodramatic plot!

Kyosuke Kosaka made his own assessment.

You offer kind directions, but people don't appreciate it, become suspicious, and insist on going their own way; then, thugs appear...

It was a predictable scenario, and Kyosuke Kosaka didn't want to watch the show or get involved.

They were killed outright, without even giving the thugs a line.

"Have some people patrol the area along the route to Izumi Province."

Kousaka Kyosuke secretly thought.

The safety of the outskirts of Kyoto was, to a lesser extent, under his jurisdiction.

The main reason is that he doesn't like others doing bad things within his work scope.

If he sees it, he will definitely take action.

If you didn't see it, you naturally wouldn't interfere.

All I can say is that it's up to fate.

"Thank you for your help, Onmyoji!"

"Thank you very much..."

A group of people bowed respectfully.
