Chapter 230 Nine Sara
Daozuma City, Tianling follows it.
"Why are you back?"
Kujo Takayuki put his right hand behind his back, looking at his adopted daughter Kujo Sora who had returned from the front line, and frowned: "Did something happen on the front line?"
"Nothing is different on the front lines."
Kujo Sora shook his head slightly. He wore a Crow Tengu mask on his short shoulder-length hair. Under the oblique bangs that passed over his eyebrows were a pair of dark golden eyes that revealed a perseverance.
"Then what are you doing back here?" Kujo Takayuki's brows were still furrowed, and he looked at this adopted daughter with Tengu blood, without much affection between father and daughter in his eyes.
"...The next batch of supplies and military equipment is ready to be sent to the front line. I am worried and want to escort it myself." Kujo Sora pursed his lips slightly.
"It's better to be more cautious." Kujo Takayuki nodded, his brows finally relieved, and then he became a little dissatisfied: "How long will it take for the frontline war to end? The day those rebels on Kaiji Island exist, the shame of Tian Ling's practice will increase. "Sura, don't betray the trust of the general and let the honor of the Kujo family be damaged!"
"I understand, Master."
Kujo Sora said in a calm tone: "The general offensive plan is being prepared. This time the shogunate army will drive the rebels back to Kaiji Island and seal the access to Kaiji Island to completely end this war."
"Well, I can rest assured about what you do."
Kujo Takayuki nodded, picked up the teacup, and took a sip.
"..."
Kujo Sora's eyes dimmed slightly and he bowed: "Master of the family, Sora takes leave."
"Go ahead."
Kujo Takayuki waved his hand casually and put down the teacup in his hand.
"..."
Kujo Sora looked calm, but sighed softly in his heart, turned around and left.
Unlike the ordinary tengu that live in the mountains and forests, Kujo Sora was adopted by the Kujo family since he was a child and became a subordinate of the Tenlord. With his own talent and hard work, he gradually became a general of the shogunate army.
Due to emotions and reasons, Kujo's filial piety who adopted her is kind to her. Kujo regards Tianling's devotion as his only support and will do everything to defend the honor of the family. But the way Kujo Takayuki looked at her was not like a father looking at his daughter, but more like he was looking at a subordinate who was fairly valuable.
Kujo Sora pursed his lips and looked back at the magnificent attic of the Tianling Advocacy Center. He quickly looked away, his expression calm and steady, and there was no change.
She could naturally see that Kujo Takayuki had no affection for her, and she could also see that the way he looked at her was different from when he looked at Kujo Kamaji. But it doesn't matter, she will defend the honor of her family, but when it comes time to choose between the Kujo family and the general, she will side with the general without hesitation.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Kujo Takayuki looked at her with no affection in his eyes.
Kujo Sora breathed out gently, calmed down his messy thoughts, and moved forward. His dark golden eyes made his calm face look more majestic, making people dare not be presumptuous.
Tian Ling's personnel, whether civilian or samurai, would stop and salute when they saw her, whether they were civil servants or samurai, and Kujo Sura nodded in response.
"Lord Kujo!"
"Lord Kujo!"
"Um."
…
…
"etc."
Kujo Sora stopped suddenly, waved his hand to stop a group of warriors, frowned slightly, and looked at the cart they were guarding in the group. The items on the cart were covered with black cloth, vaguely like a big long box: "What is this? "
"Sir, this is what Kujo...the head of the Kujo family wants."
The commander of the shogunate army paused and distinguished between the two titles of "Kujo-sama".
"What does the master of the family want?"
Kujo Sora stared at the box covered with black cloth. For some reason, at that moment, the box gave her a vague sense of danger. For just a moment, it was like an illusion.
Strange, is it really an illusion... Kujo Sora thought for a moment, turned to look at the shogunate army commander who looked a little more reserved, and asked, "Does the head of the family know what this is?"
"Return to your lord, the head of the Kujo family knows."
The commander of the shogunate army quickly replied: "It was the head of the Kujo family who arranged for us to get this thing."
There shouldn't be any problems with the arrangements made by the head of the family... Kujo Sora waved them away and continued to walk towards the warehouse where supplies and armaments were stored.
There were many affairs on the front line, and as a shogunate, she had no choice but to stay until the war was over.
…
"Kujo-sama, we brought what you asked for!"
The commander of the shogunate army bowed to Kujo Takashi. He made a slight mistake in his steps and stepped out of the box that was shrouded in black cloth. He looked excited and said, "This is the ancient weapon that the Lord Palace Master found when he went to sea!"
Ancient weapons?
Kujo Takayuki was startled for a moment and looked at Heibu.
Did Yae Shenzi really find an ancient weapon? But wasn't this something he casually framed?
Or is this another conspiracy of Yae Shenzi?
Kujo Takayuki's expression became serious, his eyes turned to the sturdy captain of the shogunate army, and he said solemnly: "Tell me about this trip in detail, and no details are allowed to be missed."
"yes!"
The commander of the shogunate army carefully considered his words and tried his best to describe the action process in detail, occasionally asking his samurai to supplement it.
"...That's the situation, Kujo-sama."
Kujo Takayuki felt relieved, especially after hearing that this thing was obtained after the shogunate soldiers fought with the rebels, and his expression became even more relaxed.
It was impossible for Yae Kamiko to convince the rebels to sacrifice their soldiers' lives to cooperate with her plan, and it was impossible for someone as arrogant as Yae Kamiko to deliberately let the rebels board the ship and allow them to steal such an important thing.
So, this must be the general blessing Tenryo Bugyo! Blessing the Kujo family!
Kujo Takayuki quickly came up with the answer, and looked at the captain of the shogunate army with more satisfaction, praising: "You did a good job, you didn't let me down."
"I am terrified!"
The captain of the shogunate army saluted again, looking excited, as if he saw his unimpeded path to promotion.
"Wow——"
Kujo Takayuki pulled off the black cloth, revealing the golden bronze coffin, and saw the triple seal of thunder engraved on the bronze coffin at a glance, and then noticed the iron chain that was as thick as a forearm that tightly bound the coffin.
The iron chain was also engraved with dense, mysterious and powerful small runes.
"This is..."
Kujo Takayuki pulled the iron chain hard, but the chain did not move at all.
"My Lord, when we seized the coffin, the chain was on it." The captain of the shogunate army answered with great insight, guessing: "I think that this chain and the triple seal of thunder are both seals for the things in the coffin."
"That makes sense, that makes sense."
Kujo Takayuki nodded and loosened his palm.
If the coffin really contains the remains of the demon god, then no matter how tightly it is sealed, it is not too much - maybe the remains of the demon god still retains some activity!
This is the remains of the demon god, and it is the giant snake demon god who died under the sword of the general! It is the enemy of the general!
If this remains is presented to the general...
Kujo Takayuki stared at the coffin, his eyes gradually became fiery, and he waved his sleeves: "Lift it and follow me!"
"To the castle tower!"
