Chapter 881 Goodbye

"The plan failed?" Shibata Katsuie, who had listened to the entire conversation between Qin Heqing and Akechi Mitsuhide, came over and asked.

"Well, it failed." Qin Heqing confirmed.

He didn't expect that Tokimi, who looked soft and not domineering at all, would turn against the water at such a critical moment and play the so-called Jedi counterattack.

Sure enough, people's hearts are still too complicated.

"Are you still waiting?" Shibata Katsuie asked.

The question is whether to launch an attack on Inabayama Castle immediately!

After all, for the smooth progress of the plan, Shibata Katsuie deliberately suppressed their marching speed, the purpose was to reduce casualties and give Tokimi a chance to comeback.

"Forget it today. After all, it's very late. It's probably not going to be a good result if we start the war now. Why don't we take a good rest now to prepare for the next counterattack from Inabayama Castle?" Qin Heqing shook his head and said .

"Okay then, I'll go and arrange the defense." Katsuya Shibata thought for a while, agreed with Qin Heqing's judgment, and then summoned the leading generals to make arrangements for the possible upcoming battle and the deployment of the army down.

Qin and Qing were left behind to continue to use the Bronze Mirror of Resentment to contact Imagawa Yoshimoto in Owari and report the situation here.

Until a while later.

"I'll go out for a while." Qin Heqing put away the bronze mirror and said.

"Um."

Then his figure moved, flew into the sky, and flew towards Inaba Mountain Castle not far away.

...

"Your Excellency, entering the city in this way at this time, is it somewhat unreasonable in terms of etiquette?" The next moment, in Inabashan Castle, a former ghost dressed in a white onmyoji hunting suit and black hat appeared in front of Qin Heqing, watching him in a low voice. Said.

"I also want to enter through the main entrance openly, but with our current relationship, is it possible?" Qin Heqing asked with a smile.

"Others may not be able to, but for you, Mr. Qin, I think Master Toki would be happy to accept your visit." The former ghost replied calmly.

"Really? That's a good relationship. Take me to see her." Qin Heqing raised his eyebrows and said with a look of surprise on his face.

"Yes, please follow me." The former ghost glanced at him, narrowed his eyes, and said flatly.

Then he turned around on his own initiative and walked over to the palace where Tokimi of Qin and Qing Dynasty was located.

In just a moment, Qin Heqing once again saw Tokimi, who was obviously different from the past in terms of face, temperament, and feeling.

"I haven't seen you for a while, you've changed a lot." Qin Heqing looked up and down in front of Tokimi, except for the surprised expression on his face when he first saw him, and then he was calm all the time, as if facing a stranger. Said deeply.

"Time makes people grow old, and times make heroes. Although we have not been apart for a long time, I have experienced many things. Coupled with the current situation, even if I want to maintain the innocence of the past, the current situation around me does not allow it." I'm naive." Tokimi said calmly. Then, after a pause, he stared at Qin Heqing and asked, "It's you Qin Jun who entered the city at this time, you probably didn't just come to see me."

"It's really not." Qin Heqing shook his head in affirmation.

"For Akechi Mitsuhide and the others who were detained by me?" Tokimi asked.

"There is a reason." Qin Heqing admitted with a nod.

"Come here." Tokimi nodded, without saying anything, and shouted directly to the outside.

"My lord." A soldier entered the hall and responded.

"Go, bring me the two people who are detained in the guest room." Tokimi ordered.

"Yes." The soldier took the order, turned and exited the hall.

"Are you really determined to resist to the end, and not accept our proposal, and lead Mino to join us?" Qin Heqing did not express his opinion, but confirmed that Tokimi had changed color, as if wearing a peculiar pupil decorated with colored pupils .

"You know, the result of the failure of the battle is death."

"I know, but I still want to try it, just take it as my last consolation for my identity as a human being." Tokimi replied in a flat tone with the same expression.

"The last consolation of human status... Sure enough, you made a contract with that demon sword. Was it Banbingwei who helped you?" Qin Heqing narrowed his eyes, and his heart became more and more sure of his and Yue'er's guess.

"Yes. Apart from her, there is no one else who can help me achieve this result." Tokimi nodded in affirmation.

"Is it worth it?" Qin Heqing asked curiously.

"I don't regret it." Tokimi replied somewhat off topic.

Then the backcourt fell into silence again. No matter Qin Heqing or Tokimi, or Takenaka Hanbei and former ghost who stayed at the scene, they all remained silent without saying a word, not knowing what was going on in their hearts.

Until the noisy footsteps sounded again.

"My lord, I have brought it." The soldier entered the house first and reported.

"Mr. Qin Heqing, why are you here?" Akechi Mitsuhide looked at Qin Heqing who was sitting in the room and said in surprise.

"Is Qin Jun here to pick us up?" Ling Nu tilted her head and asked with some guesswork.

"It depends on whether Princess Toki is willing to let you go back." Qin Heqing looked at Ling Nu and smiled.

"If I say I don't want to, what will you do?" Tokimi's eyes flashed, the corners of her mouth slightly turned up, and she asked in a meaningful tone.

"For the safety of the two of them, I can only meet Princess Toki and the half-guards." Qin He said calmly.

This is not only self-confidence in her own strength, but also the belief that Tokimi should not be so unwise, and would choose this time, because of this kind of thing and herself to stage a full martial arts.

Even if her temperament at this time has begun to be affected by the power of the demon sword to some extent, and it has become different from before, and it is the same when she looks inhuman.

"Mr. Qin is so confident, we can't keep you?" Tokimi said without changing her expression, but narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Then I have a question to ask the princess. In the eyes of the princess, is there anyone by my side?" Qin Heqing asked back with a smile.

Immediately, Toki Mei frowned, and carefully observed Qin and Qing's left and right.

Because she understood that if Qin Heqing dared to ask such a question, then obviously, there should be other non-human beings around him.

Just like the former ghost, if Hanbei Takenaka didn't remind him, who would be able to tell that his existence is not human?

"Hanbei, former ghost, what do you think?" After a while, Tokimi, who still didn't notice much abnormality, turned her head and asked Takenaka Hanbei and former ghost.

Hanbei Takenaka didn't speak, but just set his eyes on his Shikigami Maekimo, waiting for his answer.

"Although I have tried my best to hide it, but I just happen to have a pair of spiritual eyes that can see through everything in the world and peep into the changes of Senluo, so there are people around Qin Jun, and not just one, but one big and one small. There are two women, I'm right." The former ghost smiled and described the hiding places of Yue'er and Ayukawa.

It had to be said that with him around, there was really no way to hide certain things.
