After walking a distance that was neither too long nor too short, they arrived at the gate of the castle tower.
The security here is much stricter.
"Master Fengmo! Please stay. Didn't you accompany the young master out? Where is the young master?"
The gatekeeper might be a general, so he spoke to Fengmo in a much more casual manner.
Feng Mo's eyes turned and he said respectfully, "You know the young master's temper. He is in a playful mood and is still wandering around the town. There is a team of foot soldiers following him. Nothing will happen. This is our base camp."
"This is a big merchant from Kyoto who wants to present a beauty to the Lord. I met him outside the city and brought him here to pay his respects. If the Lord is happy, maybe I can even ask for some reward."
The gatekeeper glanced at Uesugi Kiyoshi, then at Xing, his eyes understanding. He suddenly laughed and patted Fengma's shoulder.
"Okay, then I'll take them in. You've been working hard all day, go and take a rest."
Feng Mo is not a fool either. He instantly knew what the goalkeeper was thinking.
He saw Xingsheng's beauty and good looks, and thought that she would please the king, and maybe he, as the guide, would gain some merit. However, he didn't know that this was just an excuse made up by Fengmo, and that the person he brought in was a god of death.
Fengma looked at the goalkeeper as if he was a fool. He looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi nervously, and when he saw him nod slightly, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned away feeling relieved.
He ran very fast, as if there was a wild beast chasing him.
He knew in his heart that the situation in Musashi Province was about to change.
Putting such a great swordsman in the castle tower is like a tiger entering a pack of wolves. There is no way the king can survive.
In ancient times, the transmission of news was incredibly slow. After killing everyone, Uesugi Kiyoshi rushed here directly, ready to kill them all, so the news from outside the city had not yet been transmitted in.
The goalkeeper led Uesugi Kiyoshi into the castle tower without any precautions and came to a magnificent inner room.
Then, a sharp blade pierced through his chest.
Chapter 256 Spider
"I thought this was the residence of the king. Why are you so casual?"
"You didn't even cut my knife when he entered the door? He really deserves to die here today."
"Or have you been completely bewildered by my lovely Apricot?"
Uesugi Kiyoshi now treated all of this as a game, and he became more and more interested in it.
He is actually a very suspicious person - people who think a lot are suspicious.
However, he believed eight out of ten of the things the Lord of a Hundred Ghosts said.
Because it’s the best explanation.
So, what happened to "himself" that year made him particularly interested.
What on earth was the reason that could force a noble of the Genji, a true god, who could gain extraordinary supernatural powers with just some inheritance, to die and reincarnate secretly, and not even be able to speak openly. He had to wait for the opportunity of Kenshin's awakening to pass the message to his current self, just like a thief?
The answer may lie in this role-playing game.
Xing had been following behind Uesugi Kiyoshi. When she saw the body that had been stabbed and fallen, although she was a little frightened, she did not overreact. She was much better than that useless playboy.
After all, she is the daughter of Genji, and the Genji is the royal bloodline of this country. There are many open and secret struggles in the family. Even the struggles between the concubines of a prince are comparable to the palace dramas of the Qing Dynasty in the Celestial Empire - Xing has seen many corpses of maids who were sent out with blue or pale faces since she was a child.
To be honest, if she hadn't been lucky enough to be chosen as the personal maid of the young man in front of her, she would probably have turned into a cold corpse one day and been buried in the land somewhere unknown.
Thinking of this, she looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi even more eagerly.
People of that era had the habit of worshipping the strong ingrained in their bones. In fact, this is true not only for people of that era, but also for modern Japanese.
After teasing Xing, he casually kicked away the corpse of the goalkeeper that had slid to the side and was still making a gurgling sound, and Uesugi Kiyoshi casually opened the gorgeous shoji door.
A greasy scent of powder filled the air, making Uesugi Qing's nose tighten.
That's not what he cares about.
After sniffing his nose slightly, Uesugi Kiyoshi's expression became interesting.
"This fragrance is used to cover up the smell of blood."
"Such a strong smell of blood. This is an evaluation room, not a slaughterhouse, right?"
"tsk"
"Could it be that this Lord Musashi is some kind of pervert with a heavy taste?"
Muttering to himself, Uesugi Kiyoshi stepped into the room without hesitation.
His hand rested lightly on the hilt of the sword, and he would strike out with the sword at the slightest sign of trouble.
This is a very ordinary evaluation room that has existed since the Heian period and was particularly popular among daimyo during the Warring States period. In layman's terms, it is a place for subordinates to hold meetings.
Probably the chief's meeting room.
However, as soon as he entered the door, there was a screen blocking his view of Uesugi Kiyoshi opposite him.
The screen was translucent, and one could vaguely see the shape of a large bed behind it. There were several shadows of bodies entangled on the bed, which made Uesugi Qing frown.
"Oh, you are committing adultery in broad daylight."
"If I remember correctly, if this kind of behavior was publicized during the Heian period, your reputation would be ruined. Countless masters would come to condemn you, and your reputation in the aristocratic circles in Kyoto would plummet. Your career would be in jeopardy."
"He can rule a country. Although he may be just a county governor based on the size of the land, he is still a big shot in Japan today. He should not be so incompetent."
“And the smell of blood”
After thinking for a few seconds, Uesugi Kiyoshi raised his voice.
"Lord, a merchant from Kyoto has offered a beauty as a gift. I am sending her to you!"
As he spoke, he had already turned his sword over in his hand, and ignoring the response from the other side, he motioned for Xing to follow him, and walked towards the translucent screen.
The closer you get, the more pungent the smell of blood becomes.
Hearing Uesugi Kiyoshi's question, the man behind the screen groaned and took a few heavy breaths, showing his annoyance at being interrupted in his high spirits. Uesugi Kiyoshi laughed secretly in his heart.
He did not wait for a reply, but suddenly swung his sword and cut the screen in half.
Then, he was stunned for a moment.
Although he had expected it, his expression still looked a little ugly when he actually saw it.
There was a woman on the bed, naked, with a white body - but it was obviously different from the rumors.
These women are not meant to satisfy the "lust" of the Lord.
The word "appetite" would be more appropriate.
The huge bed curtains, which were large enough for five or six people to lie in a row, were bright red and wet, with sticky and turbid blood dripping down the sheets.
The white bodies of the women were marked with winding traces of blood plasma, like tattoos from ancient tribes. They looked mysterious and strange, and the scene was extremely bloody.
These women are not complete.
They looked like assembled toys, with their limbs twisted off and their torsos left alone. Their somewhat pretty faces had expressions of fear, and their wounds revealed white bone stumps and coagulated plasma.
Obviously dead for a long time.
"So this is ah."
"Since you are not human, the reputation of humans doesn't matter, right?"
"I'm still wondering. Tao from the village mother-in-law's family was favored by the lord. It's not a bad thing no matter how you think about it. For ordinary people, such a person, even if she becomes a concubine, it wouldn't be so sad, not to mention that she never came back."
"Being able to play with a woman to death is an amazing skill."
“Now I think I understand.”
"They are not tools for sexual pleasure, but food."
"No wonder your son is so neurotic, like an idiot, is he also a demon?"
"It's a pity that he didn't say anything, so I chopped off his head with a sword."
Uesugi Kiyoshi said this to himself, murderous intent surging in his eyes, as if a storm was brewing.
Even if this was a fictional world, even if it was just a game, he still felt very uncomfortable seeing demons feeding on humans.
The "king" squatting on the bed was indeed not a human being. It was a monster with a human head, a spider's body, and eight sharp and huge arthropod legs. He was so large that he almost covered the entire bed, and was now diligently gnawing on the scattered flesh and blood.
"The monster mingles among humans and occupies a high position as the ruler of a country."
"This gives us a glimpse into the general environment of the Heian period."
"Alright, you bastard! Have you had enough?"
Uesugi Kiyoshi rushed forward and struck out with his sword in anger.
But the feeling of weightlessness coming from the sword gave him a fright.
Chapter 257: Musashi Genji's Master
There is no refreshing feeling of a knife entering flesh, nor is there any impact feeling of colliding with a hard object.
The blade, shining with a cold light, pierced through the body and overturned the bed, but the human-faced spider was unharmed.
Uesugi Qing was startled, took a step back, protected Xing behind him, and frowned.
"What species can't be cut?"
"Nettle Bride? Earth Spider?"
"These are the only two famous spider monsters, right?"
He thought of it in his mind and immediately got a response.
"Don't guess, he is the Ghost Face Spider."
"It is a spider monster that lives in the gap between the underworld and reality. It has a human face and a spider body. It feeds on human flesh and blood, and also devours souls. It has no other abilities, but its ability to save its life is first-rate."
"I was exiled at first, but my father got me a letter of appointment as governor of Musashi Province. At that time, I had been framed by Minamoto no Raikou and deprived of the opportunity to enter the government. My father had lost all his face for that piece of thin paper, and I couldn't let him be humiliated."
"I have to take the position of the ruler of Musashi Province no matter what."
"I came to Musashi Province and stayed in Shitamachi for a few days. I felt something was wrong. Why would a woman dedicated to the lord of the country never come back and never be heard from again?"
"Over the years, the women offered by those subordinates are enough to fill several harems, but this man is still not satisfied. Is this what a sex-hungry ghost is like?"
"So I pretended to be a merchant from Kyoto, saying I wanted to offer a beauty to you, and sneaked into the castle tower. What I saw was what you see now."
