Chapter 3 third chapter

Miyu raised his head.Looking for the king of a country?Not looking for Guoge, but looking for Wang by name? If that's the case... Maybe he can be stopped, and the official slave will not be given the chance to curry favor with him.Miyu thought nervously, everything he had learned and known for a long time seemed to be connected by this adventure.Maybe I can do it myself.No, it will definitely work. "King of the Order." Yayo stood up and looked straight into his eyes, as if telling him that he had no fear of this body that was much taller and stronger than him.She opened her mouth and said, "I am not a servant elsewhere. The 'no' just said does not refer to the residence, but to the identity."

"Oh, where are you from?" "No, pretending to be king." Yayo wiped his cheeks carefully, revealing the tattoo that shows his qualifications to engage in ghost affairs, unbuttoned his tunic, and took out a palm-sized bronze mirror from his breast room.This is something that I carry with me to prove my identity when traveling in microservices, but this is the first time I have actually taken it out. Yayo put on the posture and majesty when delivering an oracle, and announced the name given to her by the kings and servants. "My concubine is Himiko. The queen of Yamatai, and the king of Weiwa. The master of this place."

The group set off at sunset, and arrived at the capital of Yamatai in Tangxiang at midnight. The reason why this particularly striking and great man was quietly brought into the city in the dark was not just to avoid people's eyes and ears, but also for another reason.With his status, he cannot enter the palace casually, and must hold a formal sacrificial ceremony to welcome him. Yayo's plan was as follows—first, he would occupy himself, and send an oracle to meet him in the mountains.At the place indicated by the divination, those who welcome them will naturally find the King of the "Envoy".Then the king showed his strength to defeat the monster, and then appeared to be out of control and mad. At this time, Mi Yu came to talk to him and comfort him.In this way, no one can stop Mi and Yingwang's arrangement, which is much better than explanations such as encountering by chance while traveling in the mountains.

Therefore, Miyu did not return to the palace, but led the king to Gan's house in the city. The sudden appearance of Mi Yu and Wang surprised Gan's family, and saw that the son on Wang's back was seriously injured, so they rushed to help.Boiling water, wiping the body, and applying herbs, Mi Yu silently watched them busy in the corner of the hut. During the busy break, the white-haired grandfather and the grown-up father have been secretly looking at Yayo.Yayo pretended not to notice, but the king of "Envoy" who sat hunched over and looked a little bored seemed to mind a little.

"Queen Himiko—" "Just call me Miyo." "Yayo, aren't you the lord of the country? Leave it to the medical maid or something—" "The queen of the Japanese does not leave the palace. The queen cannot leave the palace, and neither can the servants." "—So, you can't say things like getting hurt outside, can you?" Wang Wang never dared to look directly at the old man here. "Are these people reliable?" "It's much more reliable than official slaves. I've known each other since I was a girl..." While speaking, Yayo recalled the past more than twenty years ago.Before being elected by the national cabinet as the Witch King, she was just the daughter of the magistrate, playing mud, hide-and-seek all day long, playing carefree, and very close to the Gan family, they often stuffed themselves with some millet cakes What……

The intimacy of that time still continues today.Every time Miyu came to the hut by chance, they always silently welcomed them. But at this moment, a sense of awe and fear that overwhelmed the intimacy separated Miyu from them.This is because this time Yayo came here not as a girl she had known since childhood, but as a queen.Of course, it was also because the king of "Envoy" was by his side.No matter how you look at it, he is obviously not an ordinary person. Here, Mi Yu was separated from the warm human feelings - the common people were already afraid of the queen, and they didn't even dare to pick up their heads when they met, and they were more frightened than the servants in the inner palace.

"It seems to be all right..." Gan's face, which was as pale as a corpse just now, showed a little blood color under the light of the rushes.Seeing this scene, the king of "Envoy" winked at Miyu.Realizing his intention, Miyu stood up and said, "Let's go for a walk, it's a bit crowded here." After crossing the moat, we came outside the village, surrounded by the sound of frogs, the stars in the sky were covered by clouds, and the moon seemed to be covered with a layer of tulle, casting a hazy light on the paddy fields.Wang sat on the embankment, muttering to himself.

"The reclamation is good. Looking at the current situation, the fortification of the Yamato River is to change the river course. It should have been carried out in the Edo period?" "Edo period?" "Well, it happened a long time later. There shouldn't be so much cultivated land here. The whole is three hundred years earlier... part of it is nearly one thousand and three hundred years earlier, right?" "Sumiyoshitsu discovered a keel-structured schooner ocean-going ship. The history of navigation seems to have advanced by more than a thousand years."

The voice of the great sword also came from the side, but Yayo didn't ask any questions.She didn't quite understand the conversation between the two, and she had other things to ask. "King of "Envoy", what do you mean by preparing for war?" "Oh, prepare for battle. I just advise you to fight." "What are you fighting for?" "Shortly speaking, it is for yourselves, and far away... it is for all human beings." As written in "Shi Ling", Mi and Xiang.There are disasters in the world, let's work together to get rid of them.

Wang turned his head. "You do not want?" "Who is the enemy?" "It's something from outside. It's called ET in our language." For some reason, Wang let out a rather ironic laugh.Miyo looked at the big sword, wondering what was so funny. "ET is a long story. To put it simply, monsters seen during the day appear in groups. That thing is real, don't doubt it." "There are such things as monsters, and the concubines and others know about them." "yes?" "Whether it is Japan or Han, there are many legends about such monsters. It is said that they are ferocious by nature and have terrifying power, but they are not incapable of killing. From this point of view, they are different from invisible ghosts and gods. And it can be said that we can gain a foothold here because we continue to kill monsters and win victories... However, this is the first time I have seen monsters today. Judging from the long-standing legends, it seems that there have been monsters in recent decades more often."

"Yes." Wang clenched his fist in the palm of his other hand—hitting. "Very well said. It's great that you can think like this in this day and age. In other places, as long as the monster is mentioned, and some people even run away on the spot, it would be very difficult to do. What I want to say here Yes, ET must be defeated. It must not run away in fear, it must be completely eradicated..." "But, is that necessary?" Mi Yu looked at Wang Jianshuo's body a little recklessly. "Didn't Your Majesty defeat the monster with ease? In that way, it's enough to kill as many as you want?" "That's one. It's an individual that fell out of the group. It may be a single person in a group that appeared a long time ago, and it has survived until now. Once they appear in groups, there is probably nothing more terrifying. Have you heard of that kind of thing?" "... I have heard. It is said that the Xiongnu in the depths of the Han land was destroyed in that way. In order to resist the monster army, all the surrounding powers united to fight together. Now the alliance between the Kingdom of Wei, the Kingdom of Kupin, and the Kingdom of Rome seems to be because of For this reason. Is this legend true? I always thought it was an exaggeration." "of course it's true." Miyu fought a cold war.An army of monsters capable of destroying a country?That's no small matter. "If the monsters are so terrifying, on the other hand, I'm afraid it's impossible to eliminate them with the power of my concubine and others." "No, it's possible. ETs don't have a large army at the beginning. They first have to make 'small nests' and gradually increase their number. As long as they are found and uprooted before they increase, the future troubles can be eliminated forever. This It can be done with your own strength. Katie will be responsible for the search, and all you have to do is to organize your armaments. But first, you must master the knowledge of iron weapons. The bronze sword that the boy wields cannot resist monsters." "I know iron." "real?" Wang's eyes widened.It can surprise the king, and Miyo feels extremely happy. "Yisu Sangguo produces a lot. But the mountain is poisonous, and people are forbidden to enter the mountain. Is there any way to seal the poisonous miasma?" "Even if there is a way, there is no time to care about the natural environment. Lift the ban and start mass production." Wang nodded slightly, seemingly quite satisfied.Yayo looked at him, and suddenly felt deep fatigue from his words and attitude.That's something not felt during the day.It wasn't physical exhaustion, Mi Yu thought—he carried Gan on his back for fifty miles, and Mi Yu chased after him extremely hard, so he had to beg for a rest. What Miyu felt was not the fatigue of the body, but the fatigue accumulated deeper in the soul.Yayo couldn't help but leaned out and said, "Can you take off the helmet?" "Well." Wang, who was sitting across from him, agreed lightly, stretched out his hands to hold the bell-shaped helmet, and gently took it off, and then a sharp and bearded face appeared.The short yellow hair like withered grass, the deep-set eye sockets and the high nose bridge surprised Mi Yu. Wang looked sideways at Yayo kindly.Although the surroundings were dark, Mi Yu could vaguely see that the color of Wang's pupils did not seem to be dark. "You are not surprised." "I've seen foreigners before." Even though Yayo replied like this, he was not indifferent.It should be said that because it matched his imagination, he was hiding his surprise. This man is very tired... Although there is a smile on his face, there is a deep tiredness in the hidden shadows, in the twitching cheeks, and in the corners of the mouth.Although Yayo knew nothing about men, he could imagine that if it was just a one-day hard work, it would be impossible to engrave such a haze on this man's face. "Where does Your Majesty come from?" Unknowingly, Yayo became interested in this man. "What happened to make His Majesty so haggard..." "Do I look haggard?" A trace of surprise flashed across Wang's face, and then he laughed again. "Don't worry. In comparison, you need a good rest. As a woman, you have walked so much without rest, you must be very tired." "The concubine is not tired. This level of toil, compared to the rituals in the palace..." "But I only drank a little water during the day, and didn't eat anything. It's better to eat something." The more this man persuaded himself, the more confused Mi Yu felt.Didn't he want to change the subject?Is it because he doesn't like being prying into his personal affairs? But from now on, the fate of myself and the whole country will be entrusted to this person.Yayo really didn't want to know nothing about him. Suddenly, Dajian made a low voice: "O, be careful..." Wang fell on one knee, held the hilt of the sword, stared carefully, and then relaxed.Mi Yu turned his head to look around, and saw an old woman leaning over and putting something on the rock in front, and then retreating back as before.That's Gan's grandmother.Miyu leaned over to look at the things on the stone. It was warm porridge, rice and dried fruit for two. "The food delivery is here. Let's chat for a while." Mi Yu picked up the plate and walked back, held it in his hands and looked at Wang.The fruit is the red dates picked last autumn. When you bite into it, a sweet fragrance melts on the tip of your tongue.It was indescribably delicious. Wang looked at the porridge for a while, and finally stretched out his hand, drank half of it in one gulp, and then let out a long breath. "The last time I was invited was 1,200 years ago." Hearing this, Yayo put the bitten jujube back on the plate, and pushed it towards the King of Envoys. The man had indeed had a long journey. "Where does Your Majesty come from?" "The previous activities were in Egypt during the New Kingdom... Ah, let's start from the beginning." Mi Yu held his breath, waiting for the man to speak.
