"Are you leaving already?" Yongzhen put away her medicine box.

"The crisis at Ashina Castle has been resolved, hasn't it?" Lu Ye said. "Time is running out, I need to finish what I need to do."

Yesterday's battle was very beneficial to Ashina.

After the war, Genichiro and his men not only received the military equipment and food from the Inner Army Headquarters, but also a few undamaged Kunikō cannons, which should now be being transported to the main city.

More importantly, the Interior Ministry should not easily attack Ashina after receiving the news.

After the war ended, the white snake dragged its wounded body back to the valley.

But the Guardian Ape was different. After obtaining the Fragrant Water Lily, it discovered that the flower had been broken. Enraged, it led its monkey minions directly to the main camp of the Ministry of the Interior's army sent to Ashina, and with its insect-infested bodies, it slaughtered a bloodbath.

Of course, the general, who was completely unaware of the situation, would never have broken the flower. The flower was broken off by Lu Ye. In any case, it was a copy made using a [cloning machine] and would disappear after a day.

The two lone members who learned the truth were also riddled with bullets.

"I see. Then please go see Lord Isshin. He has something to say to you."

"I see."

Lu Ye picked up the Gatling gun from the ground and carried it on his back.

Although it has some weight, we will still need to rely on it to some extent for the journey ahead.

"Um... I've been wondering about that for a while now. If you don't mind, could you tell me what it is?" Yongzhen stared at the heavy machine gun with some curiosity.

“It’s a powerful tool for saving all living beings,” Lu Ye said. “By the way, I’m keeping my return a secret from Violet. I’m afraid…”

"Does she cling to you and won't let go whenever she sees you?"

Having spent a day with Violet, Emma has come to understand the girl's personality a little better.

She's such a clingy little girl. Even when I give her medicine six times a day, she'll ask me thirty-six times, "Where have you been?"

However, Yongzhen didn't say these words aloud, as it would be impolite.

“No,” Lu Ye said, her expression somewhat hesitant, “I’m afraid I’ll be unable to resist spending the whole day with her.”

Yongzhen fell silent.

……

Stepping out of the castle tower, the air was filled with the smell of alcohol.

Along the main road were drunken foot soldiers lying on the ground, and even a high-ranking general.

To celebrate the defeat of the Interior Ministry, Ashina Castle held a victory banquet yesterday, but Lu Ye didn't go. After calling for Emma, ​​he collapsed to the ground.

The poison of the Lone Shadow Clan was not to be underestimated. If he hadn't bought the Crooked Mouth Gourd and antidote powder from the Sacrifice Gang, he would have died yesterday. The Lone Shadow Clan also didn't expect Lu Ye to have an additional antidote, which is why he died so tragically.

"Ah...isn't this Ashina's great benefactor?" A drunkard by the roadside recognized Lu Ye. "Want to...have a drink?"

Lu Ye recognized him too.

Kawamoto Naokatsu, an elite monster in the game, is now completely drunk.

So it seems this guy won't have to die in three years.

"No, I have something to do."

Lu Ye continued walking forward, and people greeted him one after another along the way.

Whether they were elated or cautious, their tone always conveyed gratitude.

News always spreads quickly. The promise Lu Ye made the day before yesterday will be known to Ashina Castle in no time, and his success in luring the white snake and the gibbon will spread throughout the city overnight.

Of course, this is all thanks to Genichiro.

He told the truth without hiding anything.

Lu Ye did indeed save Ashina.

"Hey! Hey! Lord Lu!"

Suddenly, someone called out from afar.

That's Jiulang. He's running this way, his little face red from the cold morning breeze.

Wolf followed behind, and when he saw Lu Ye, he simply nodded slightly.

"Lord Lu, how did you sleep last night?"

When he smiled, his eyes narrowed, like a girl's.

"You've changed how you address someone so quickly?" Lu Ye raised an eyebrow.

"Hehe, you really did it!" Jiulang said with admiration. "I've heard about it. The White Serpent God and the giant lion ape appeared on the battlefield. You did that, right? How did you do it?"

"Jiulang, is there anything you like?" Lu Ye asked.

Of course!

"I was just using what they liked. If what they liked was taken away, of course I had to take it back."

"You mean..." Jiulang suddenly realized.

“That’s right, I got the Fragrant Water Lily.” Lu Ye smiled. “The next four days are for getting the remaining two materials to make the Source Fragrance.”

“That southern barbarian girl must be very important to you, to be willing to go to such great lengths to save her,” Jiulang said.

"Yes, he really is... a very important person, my lover."

Lu Ye uttered these words as if sighing softly.

The wolf standing beside Jiulang was slightly moved.

He sensed the emotion contained within it.

That was a sincere wish to protect someone.

Just like... myself.

To be honest, when the wolf first saw the man who had killed his adoptive father, he felt some hatred, even though his adoptive father deserved to die for his betrayal...

But when Lu Ye stepped forward to help fight Genichiro, the slight estrangement in Wolf's heart melted away, especially when he heard that Lu Ye needed Miko's blood to save that girl, and thus promised Genichiro that he would save Ashina...

How should I put it? It was like meeting someone of my own kind.

The wolf put himself in the wolf's shoes and thought about it from the wolf's perspective.

Protecting one's master is a servant's duty. If Kuro is imprisoned by Lord Genichiro, even if it costs him his life and he kills many Ashina soldiers, he will not care at all.

But Lu Ye's approach was more gentle.

Of course, this gentleness only applies to Ashina.

Use external factors to resolve the contradiction between Genichiro's need for Kuro.

Although the method was extremely crazy and difficult, he did manage to do it.

That alone was enough to earn the wolf's respect.

Moreover, judging from the outcome, this stranger did indeed protect his master.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

Lu Ye waved his hand and walked forward.

Suddenly the wolf called out to him.

"Please accept this if you don't mind."

"What is this?" Lu Ye looked at the booklet that the wolf handed him.

"Ninja techniques," the wolf said, "may be of some help to you."

Thanks.

Although I don't know what's wrong with Tony Leung today, it's a gift after all, so of course I have to accept it.

Suddenly, a message popped up in front of me.

[Acquired: Wolf's Ninja Techniques]

This skill can be learned by worshipping at the Voodoo Buddha.

Jiulang noticed the wolf's strange behavior and nudged its thigh with his elbow with a mischievous grin.

The reason it's thighs is because that's how tall he is right now.

After saying goodbye, and walking along the road ahead for a while, Lu Ye saw Genichiro.

The man was leading a horse, followed by a caravan of various supplies transported from the battlefield.

When he reached the main road, he saw the drunkards by the roadside and frowned.

Genichiro woke up by tapping Kawamoto Naokatsu with his sword sheath after arriving at his side.

"Who is it, disturbing me... Ah! Lord Genichiro!"

"What happened here?" Genichiro asked.

“Um…” Kawamoto Naokatsu had sobered up considerably, “because we repelled the Inner Court, we held a victory celebration banquet…”

“You, and those who led the group, will all be punished and will not be allowed to eat for two days.”

“That… the one leading is Lord Isshin,” Kawamoto Naokatsu said cautiously.

"..."

After a brief silence.

Genichiro patted Naokatsu Kawamoto on the shoulder: "Wake everyone up, don't sleep on the roadside, be careful not to catch a cold. I'll treat everyone to drinks when we get back to the barracks."

"Then... punishment?"

"What punishment?"

"Oh, I get it! I get it!"

Naokatsu Kawamoto ran off happily.

As they continued forward, Genichiro nodded to Lu Ye as he passed by.

"Thank you for yesterday."

After saying that, he left, and Lu Ye didn't reply.
