Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1369

Just as he returned to the rooftop courtyard, he nimbly leaped back to stand in front of Kyosuke Kousaka.

Kyosuke Kosaka bent down and patted the head under the ceiling: "You'll have a hard time from now on, but you should also get some rest."

"Yes, I know, Kyosuke-sama!"

Tenjo-shita was overjoyed when she met Kosaka Kyosuke's doting gaze.

At the same time, I felt the heat in my body gradually subside.

So comfortable.

"In that case, shall we start guarding the manor from now on?" Yaodaoji also expressed her thoughts.

Kyosuke Kousaka understood to some extent.

Because traveling from Kyoto to the manor and back takes quite a bit of time, and it's almost impossible for anything to happen to the residence in Kyoto.

To be precise, unless Kyoto is destroyed, the probability of something going wrong is extremely low.

This place is only a few steps away from the palace. If something like this happens here, the palace, and even the entire country, will probably be destroyed.

But the manor is different.

The only power to protect oneself is oneself.

Every point counts.

"Sigh... I knew you wanted to move there. Fine, anyway, the manor and the estate are connected by a magic array, so you can come over anytime."

Kyosuke Kosaka glanced at Su Yi and noticed that her expression hadn't changed at all, realizing that his wife had planned to do this long ago.

Yaodaoji's question was actually the same as Suyi's thoughts.

Su Yi just hasn't brought it up yet.

Compared to modern women, traditional women like those dressed in plain clothes, wearing simple gowns, and wielding demon swords naturally place greater emphasis on tradition.

She has always been very careful and sensitive in protecting the estate's land and labor force, which are the fundamental assets of Kousaka Kyosuke.

"When commerce fails to develop, farmland is indeed the foundation for survival."

Kosaka Kyo said heartily.

Everyone wants a peaceful and stable life, but unfortunately there are always bad guys who want to cause trouble.

Even Buddha gets angry!

By the way, should the order to escort the monks and nuns safely to Kyoto continue?

Kyosuke Kousaka began to get curious.

Under the cover of night, he simply took Kagura to the government office to make some simple arrangements and wait for news.

he thought.

Minamoto no Yorimitsu, this hawkish Onmyoji, will probably take action.

The facts were just as Kousaka Kyosuke expected.

Two quarters of an hour after the morning bell rang, a new order was issued from the imperial court.

"Orders are changed every day."

Kyosuke Kosaka silently made a comment and muttered a curse to himself, but said nothing more.

There were no literary inquisitions in this era.

However, there is no need to speak carelessly just to satisfy a momentary urge to argue.

In short, Kyosuke Kousaka began to adjust the previous arrangements.

Chenshi.

As the sun slowly rises.

Kyosuke Kosaka had already gone with Kagura to the area surrounding the Imperial Palace, the center of the newly established army's encampment.

Not only Minamoto no Yorimitsu, but also Fujiwara no Michitsuna, Minamoto no Yorihira, Kamo no Yasunori... all the representatives of the three major Onmyoji families were there, and the police chiefs were also present.

"An even bigger crisis is coming, and I think everyone is prepared, so I won't say any more."

As soon as the people gathered, Minamoto no Yorimitsu did not give his usual impassioned speech, but instead raised his hand to signal the others to look at the papers on the table.

When Kyosuke Kosaka picked it up and took a look, his expression immediately changed noticeably.

"People with clairvoyance are easily bewitched and turned into snake demons..."

Snake Demon.

The messengers of Yamata no Orochi are like garbage spreading a virus, causing endless annoyance!

"There shouldn't be any major problems within Kyoto. Outside of Kyoto, it all depends on their own willpower and ability. Just be careful."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu did not seem to be worried about this.

It's not surprising that Kousaka Kyosuke, this hawkish Onmyoji who prioritizes human survival, is actually more concerned with the safety of Kyoto than with Seimei and the other Onmyoji.

Moreover, very few ordinary people possess clairvoyance, so there's no need to worry too much.

Turn the page and continue reading.

Kyosuke Kosaka discovered that the text recorded traces of snake shadows appearing in other places not long ago, and he guessed that Minamoto no Yorimitsu was worried that a large number of snake demons would appear there.

Regardless, Kousaka Kyosuke silently took notes on the various pieces of information and intelligence that Minamoto no Yorimitsu had compiled at great expense.

"Seimei once mentioned his brief conversation with Yamata no Orochi. Yamata no Orochi said he wanted to judge the world, and I think that includes us," Fujiwara no Michitsuna said leisurely.

Kyosuke Kosaka thought to himself, "Does Orochi really not know who truly needs to be judged?"

Minamoto no Yorihira frowned, as if he was thinking of some detail.

"He is about to unleash a catastrophe capable of destroying the world, but he is giving us a hint. Does he intend to torture us until we are numb, like toying with prey?"

Kamo no Yasunori pondered for a moment.

"The evil god may have this peculiar fetish, but it cannot be ruled out that he has a deeper plan."

Kousaka Kyosuke thought to himself, "All plans are just paper tigers. If I have the strength, I can shatter any conspiracy or scheme with a single punch."

It wasn't that he wanted to cause trouble, but he felt that no matter how much they analyzed it, it would be difficult to achieve any results.

It's better to conserve energy and build up your strength before the decisive battle, bringing your spirit and energy to their peak.

"At this time, the enemy and we are vastly different in strength, and the enemy is in the open while we are in the dark. However, Kyoto is not unprepared. If you find any intelligence later, be sure to pass it on as soon as possible."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu continued.

This time, Kyosuke Kosaka finally understood the central theme of the gathering.

That is, Minamoto no Yorimitsu was very worried about the existence of incompetent teammates, so he decided to emphasize it again!

Indeed.

Many battles in the modern world have been lost because of internal problems within the country.

It's perfectly normal for the usually confident Minamoto no Yorimitsu to have some reservations.

A bad teammate is a terrible thing, no matter where you are.

Minamoto no Yorimitsu couldn't possibly not be worried.

"Please rest assured, Lord Raikou!" Kousaka Kyosuke gave an immediate affirmative answer.

Minamoto no Yorimitsu smiled at Kousaka Kyosuke, which surprised Kousaka a bit; the smile seemed rather modest.

Normally, his lips are always turned up in an exaggerated way, like a dragon king has arrived.

What's going on here?

Have some confidence!

"Kyosuke, is your corn still not ripe?" Minamoto no Yorimitsu asked about crops for no apparent reason.

Without hesitation, Kyosuke Kosaka replied, "I asked, and most of them can be harvested tomorrow."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu truly lived up to his reputation as a master of warfare.

When preparing for war, the first thing to consider is the issue of food.

"Then, I will send someone to receive it. As for the rest, you and Baoxian can divide it up and use it however you like."

"Thank you for your generous gift, Lord Lai Guang."

Kamo no Yasunori bowed in thanks.

Kyosuke Kosaka felt a strange unease. "So what if the corn seeds are divided?"

No, I underestimated this era!

Perhaps we can take advantage of this last period to use special methods to accelerate ripening!

Kyosuke Kosaka doesn't believe that a skilled Onmyoji can't come up with a special method to accelerate ripening.

Difficulties are difficulties, but that doesn't mean there's no hope.

Furthermore...

The agricultural goddess Miketsu should play a significant role in the later stages of the game.
