Chapter 7 Chapter VII

"I command you with the hope of all human beings on this doomed branch of time: to deliver the message, to win. Farewell, everyone." The officer left the ship.The intellectual body in charge announced: "Good morning, all messengers. I am Katie Sak, a time-strategic intellectual body who travels with you to the end of time. From now on, I will be in charge of all affairs of the army and integrate all resources , to provide all kinds of assistance to you. Next, please close your senses. This legion will soon start time retrogression.” The time retroactive drivers equipped on each ship, fortress, and mobile base are activated one by one.In the interior of the ship where the power was completely shut off and turned into darkness, Orwell gritted his teeth and resisted the urge to shout.

What do you want me to save? In an instant, Orwell lost consciousness and slipped into the past with the time army. Boom!Boom!The deep sound of the big gong has been transmitted into the palace. The clouds hang low, as if they are about to touch the trees.It was raining lightly, and it was as hot as a steamer.Although the main door of the thatched high hall was wide open, but because there was not even a breath of wind, and the breath from the servants standing around, it only felt more stuffy. Although sweating profusely, Yayo straightened his body, sat upright and waited. A man from the future.

In the future world, there will be a war between humans and monsters.In order to decide the outcome, both parties embarked on a journey to the past world.This description did not seem too difficult for Yayo to understand.She also often has the idea of ​​going back to the past and starting all over again.The idea is interlinked, although Yayo can't imagine how to turn this idea into reality. That night, Yayo heard from him that he was enjoying life in the future world, and because of the order of the king of that land at that time, he assumed the responsibility of a messenger and embarked on a journey.Although he didn't say it at that time, Yayo could also sense that his heart still stayed in his hometown.Perhaps, he embarked on a journey of no return.Recalling the feeling of wanting to abandon his homeland when he was in Mount Shiki, Yayo felt that he could understand his feelings a little bit.

But that kind of heavy fatigue does not seem to be caused only by leaving the country.Although he didn't know how long the journey had been, at least he didn't look like a man who would suffer from homesickness.I'm afraid...he still has some kind of deeper and indelible sorrow. But Yayo didn't ask about that that night.When dawn was approaching that day, she and Wang hurriedly discussed the subsequent arrangements and agreed to hold a new welcome ceremony.To welcome the King of the "Envoy" as Himiko requires a corresponding ceremony——When Yayo said so, the king nodded in agreement on the spot.Not only that, in order to achieve dramatic effect, Wang also personally proposed a plan.

"No matter how much I claim to be the king of the "Emissary", if the party who welcomes me doesn't mean to welcome me, I won't be easily accepted." "Of course." "So, let everyone take the initiative to accept me." "How to do it?" "There's a chance right now, Katie, isn't it?" "Well, according to Xinfeng's report, the time seems to match." The sharp-toothed Dajian replied, and then began to discuss the details with the king of "Envoy". After that night, for a full ten days, Mi and pretended to do divination related to state affairs, deliberately held an unprecedented ceremony, and made preparations to accept the oracle.

A pick-up team was dispatched early this morning.Since then, Yayo has been sitting in the palace and waiting. The common people gathered one after another, whispering and whispering.The team of three hundred strong men came back.They crossed the moat that surrounded the high hall, passed the gates, passed the huts of the servants, and came to the vestibule of the palace.Miyu heard the snort of the horse and the voices of soldiers shouting angrily, such as "Stand back!", from the onlookers. Gan walked in through the bright gate, prostrated himself about three steps away from Miyu, and announced, "The king has arrived. Lord Mimasheng is holding a welcome ceremony."

"Gao Rigen didn't come at all?" "Master Yizhima is supervising the soldiers, saying that the common people will not disturb the gods..." Hearing this, Mi Yu couldn't help but feel a little worried—could it be that Gao Rigen was thinking about something nasty? Yizhima is the highest official name of Yamatai.Gao Rigen occupied this position and took care of secular political affairs with one hand.Compared with Mima Sheng, who performs divine tasks, and Mima Huozhi, who is proficient in the law, Yizhima is a higher-level existence, equivalent to the real king of Yamatai.Although Gao Rigen himself took the initiative to call himself Miyu's younger brother, it was just a pretentious gesture to make all countries follow Miyu.In terms of his original heart, he didn't have the slightest thought of being subservient.

Therefore, he must be wary of people of unknown origin like the king of "Envoy" summoned by Miyu, and he might find an opportunity to try to murder him. No... Mi Yu shook his head.This is probably because I think too much.At least at this stage, Gao Rigen should still wait and see.In any case, it was the king who issued the "Envoy". If managed properly, the king of "Envoy" can become a tool to strengthen his rule just like Himiko, and even if he wants to make trouble, he can't play any tricks alone, and it will not be too late to deal with it when the time comes——Gao Rigen I must have thought so.Although he is cruel, he is also a smart man.

However, that was also because Yayo had always made him think that he would obey him. If he did something different from before... what would he do? Mi Masheng's high-pitched voice came from the vestibule that had become quiet again.This is Yamatai's second official position.The thin and cautious man is acting as Ijima's envoy at the moment.His bird-like voice, which had no sense of majesty even in normal times, trembled slightly due to nervousness. Listening to his voice, Yayo stood up slowly. "Queen……" The servants cast strange glances.When Mi Yu raised his legs and was about to leave, the servants stopped him in fear.

"Do not go out." "The countenance will be defiled." "sweet!" Following Mi Yu's shout, the young man quickly stood behind Mi Yu according to the previous agreement, and drew his sword to aim at the servant who wanted to catch up.Mi Yu glanced at the terrified women and quickly walked out of the palace gate. The scene of the vestibule came into view on a cloudy day. Among the more than 300 people who lined up in the queue, the king of "Envoy" sat cross-legged on the shrine.Even if viewed from a distance from the palace gate, it still looks majestic and majestic.In contrast are Mi Masheng and the officials and slaves kneeling on the dirt.For them, I'm afraid they don't think the ceremony of welcoming the King of the "Envoy" has any meaning.Probably they were all thinking "it's not Wei Guo's envoy".

The commoners who were blocked by the guards behind the fences on the left and right sides of the vestibule whispered to each other.Originally, the common people were forbidden to enter the palace, but this time Miyu let them in with the help of the oracle.They didn't seem to be uninterested, but it was the busy farming season, and they seemed to be rushing back to the fields. They suddenly found Mi Yu, first they whispered, and then they all showed surprised expressions.Yayo deliberately put on a deadpan expression. "Who is that, the maid in the palace?" "Idiot, it's Queen Himiko!" Mi Yu was dressed in the same way as when he was doing business, wearing a white linen tunic with a skirt dyed with madder, and a dazzling bronze mirror, hook jade and pearls on the chest.The copper rod is tied with a leaf, and the long one is held in the hand, standing on the protruding platform of the high hall.From the cheeks to the chest, there are blue and black tattoos like snake patterns, and the Jomon drawn by Zhu Ni is painted all over the body.Although the slaves said that the red clay would be washed away by sweat, Miyu forced them to paint on themselves. Although tattoos are common in Yamatai, the common people will be amazed by his body—Yayo has fully accounted for this point.The common people have never seen the queen, and they are worthy of such luxurious decorations. The common people fell to the ground like wormwood swept by a strong wind.Sure enough, it was very effective - Mi Yu was secretly happy, but there was no trace on his face, and he stared at everyone silently. At this time, Mima Sheng's long speech finally came to an end.But because Yayo appeared behind him, he didn't notice it.The warriors carrying the mikoshi put the mikoshi on the ground like puppets obeying the procedure.Mima took a step forward, just about to speak—— "The King of the Order!" Yayo's cry echoed in the vestibule.Mi Masheng turned around in astonishment. "H-Himiko-sama..." Miyu walked down the stairs, stepping forward through the muddy water with his head held high.Ignoring the existence of Mima Sheng, he passed by him, came to the front of the god, inserted the spear into the ground, and bowed deeply in the mud. "Yamatai Himiko greets the king of the "Envoy". Please enter the palace." After getting off the mikoshi, Wang nodded slightly and took a step forward.When Miyu raised his head, he saw his long arms in front of him.Miyu couldn't help frowning slightly.I never said beforehand not to be too intimate.At that time, he asked if there were any taboos. At that time, he just replied that he didn't need to care about the subtleties, as long as he showed a dignified appearance.Now it seems that I was negligent. In any case, the outstretched hand cannot be ignored.Mi Yu reached out his hands respectfully, lowered his head to avoid Wang's face, and changed direction.Then just lead him to the high hall of the inner palace. At this moment, Mi Yu noticed that Mi Ma Sheng stood upright as if he had swallowed a stick, and beside him appeared a mature man with a beard, wearing eye-catching big earrings, standing quietly. Gao Rigen... He probably came straight out of the soldiers on the left and right of the display.Holding the saber in his hand, he had an angry expression.He was visibly outraged by Miyo's audacity. Mi Yu shouted first: "Be cautious in your words and deeds, Yizhima! This is the king of "Envoys" and the king who controls the principles of heaven and earth!" Mi Masheng was flustered and fell to the ground, but Gao Rigen just nodded slightly, but took two steps forward.The king whispered in Miyu's ear: "Let me speak." "No. The divine voice cannot be shown to the common people." Otherwise, the Witch King would have no place to stand. Gao Rigen, who came before him, prostrated himself in the mud like Miyu, but shouted in a loud voice that everyone could hear: "Ximatai Yizhima reported: I will be bold, and hope that the king will read my Xie The officials, slaves and common people of Matai worship Queen Himiko, and give back her favors." Come to this... Mi Yu's heart sank.Gao Rigen's excuse turned out to be this. It is natural for the king of "Envoy" to be friendly with Himiko, but because Himiko is the queen of Yamatai, he asked the king not to put him by his side, but to return him to the country. If he blamed Mi Yu for his recklessness, Mi Yu could naturally claim that he was trying to convey the king's will, and in turn reprimanded Gao Rigen, but at this moment, he bypassed Mi Yu and directly expressed his feelings to the king, and the king had no choice but to respond .Of course, this point itself is not considered inferior, but what he said shows the importance of Miyu and cannot be rejected outright. "Ichima..." When Mi Yu was about to speak to buy some time, Wang stopped her.He turned his head and gave Mi Yu a wink, and gracefully drew out the big sword behind his back. Afterwards, he handed the great sword to Yayu. As soon as Yayu grasped the hilt of the heavy sword, the great sword emitted a brilliant light like the rising sun, and shouted loudly in an indistinguishable voice: "Tell Yamatai Queen Himiko, you have all kinds of reasons, but Disaster is approaching, and at this time it is necessary to abandon past suspicions, work together, and never doubt yourself." Yizhima opened her two thin lips in shock.It was also thanks to him that he had the guts, the others didn't even dare to raise their heads, they all fell flat on the ground.Yayo himself was quite surprised, but he still had the strength to peek at the expression of the king hidden in the light.He seemed to be smiling wryly. Before the light disappeared, there was a sudden commotion at the entrance of the palace.Hearing a horse neighing, a soldier rushed in, but seemed to be shocked by the scene in the vestibule, and stopped in his tracks. The sharp-eyed Yayo saw this scene and instructed the commander to go over.The captain listened to what the soldier said for a while, then turned back and reported something to Gao Rigen with a look of astonishment on his face. Gao Rigen's face also changed. "Zhezhi Pass?...!" "Is there a war?" The sound of Mi Yu brought Gao Rigen back to his senses.He immediately put on a calm expression and nodded, "It is said that all the soldiers, horses and civilians from the Eastern Dog Nation have arrived, and the movement is not trivial." "Wang Suolai is here for this." The light of the great sword just disappeared at this moment, leaving only the voice of Mi Yu resounding from every corner. There was a look of incomparable horror on the faces of everyone present.Although Yayo had heard the news from the king's great sword in advance, he could only admire the divine power of the great sword that could predict this moment exactly. Gao Rigen frowned, as if he suspected there was a fraud.Yayo carefully hid the smile that was about to leak.The winning ticket is in hand, so there is no need to create another side. "Prepare for battle." After leaving this short sentence, Mi Yu took the king's hand and walked into the high hall of the inner palace.Following this command that seemed to unravel the curse, there was a commotion everywhere, and Gao Rigen roared angrily calling for the soldiers to assemble. When sending out troops, it is the best strategy for the Prince of the "Envoy" to personally lead the troops, with Himiko assisting from the side. To my surprise, it was Gao Rigen who made such a suggestion.Does he recognize the authority of the king?Himiko was quite surprised, but the truth seemed suspicious. "Itjima-sama appointed Hayato Takahaya as the commander of the army. The commanders seem to be of the same clan as Ijima-sama." Gan, who overheard the conversation between officials and slaves, told Yayo so.Hayato is a soldier of the Kuma Raiders allied with Yamatai. Because of his bravery and loyalty, he serves as the guard of Ijima.Letting Hayato Takahaya serve as the commander of the army clearly shows that Gao Rigen has no intention of transferring real power to the king of "Envoy". Moreover, the king pointed out that since he and Himiko were not in the palace, Yizhima, who stayed behind, could act cheaply. Despite this reason, Miyu still accepted Gao Rigen's suggestion.Five days later, five thousand soldiers were assembled, and Mi and Wang Chengyu set off.The destination, Iga, is 250 miles to the northeast, and it is expected to take three days. As expected, although on the surface she was the king of the "Envoy" and her assistant, in fact, her chariot was placed in the Chinese army, and not only did she not even see her face-to-face with Wang who served as the vanguard, she even communicated with her. Both were rejected.However, Mi Yu got a small hook jade from the king, and through it, he could directly fight with the king who was two miles away. "Does Gao Rigen have any intentions?" "Since ancient times, the courtiers who stayed behind have tried to replace the monarch on the throne, but it has not developed to that level at the moment. He is probably continuing to consolidate his power now. Let's look forward to what happens during our trip." "Don't say such scary things." In the chariot hung with bamboo curtains, Mi Yu couldn't help shivering, and a cheerful laugh came from his ear: "Haha, it's up to Gan. This kid has a bright future." Gan held the sharp dagger given to him by the king in his arms, and walked behind those who carried the chariot. Mi Yu shook off the ominous thoughts and said, "Your Majesty, you need to be more careful. The Hayato around you are all ruthless, and they can dig out their hearts from behind when they are not prepared." "My heart is not so easy to dig out." Wang replied lightly, and then said that he was more worried about his opponent in this battle than Hayato.
