Chapter 12 Chapter Twelve

Yizhima sent troops to eliminate the monsters, but he failed, and instead he was forced to go to the top of the mountain?A large number of people gathered around him, and there was a raging fire in front of him.Shouts were faintly audible. "My Highness!" When Mi Yu came back to his senses, he realized that the chariot was only a hundred steps away from the foot of the mountain.The monsters are all wandering at the foot of the mountain, probably because they are also afraid of fire and cannot climb the mountain.At this time, they all looked at Mi Yu's team, there were more than twenty of them in total.

Miyu lifted the bamboo conch, took a deep breath, and blew it with all his strength. It was as if the barking of a huge beast echoed in the field. "coming!" The monkeys' long arms hung down to the ground, and they ran on all fours.Gan drew his sword. At this moment, the chariot suddenly shook violently and fell to the ground. "Hey!" One escaped without a word.As if they were summoned, the other bearers also dropped their chariots and fled away.Yayu couldn't help being furious after being thrown into the paddy field. ——Unbelievable stuff! By the time the soldiers and Gan who had caught up helped Miyu to his feet, the monkeys were already approaching.Mi Yu led the crowd to run together.The monkeys did not chase along the ridges of the field, but rushed across the field splashing on the water.The monkey in the lead swung its scythe high.

"My lord! Be careful!" The soldiers formed a human wall behind them.Yayo couldn't help but stop.Gan, however, pushed her back violently——with such force that it seemed as if he wanted to knock her straight out. "Go!" Mi Yu ran out.The roar from the dantian of the fearless soldiers shook her back.When Yayo asked himself who they were, he realized that he didn't even know their names.Be it raw or soldiers, I have always regarded them as beasts or objects.How silly.Some of these people escaped with their lives, and some defended themselves with their flesh and blood.They are all real people.

It is obvious that I am just giving. The sound of killing was short.In this short period of time, Miyu and the others ran fifty paces.The footsteps approached again.Dozens of heavy water treading sounds. "My Highness!" "no!" Mi Yu firmly held Gan's arm, who was about to turn around and go back.She didn't want anyone to die for her anymore.The two of them just got entangled and continued to run together.Throat blocked, heart pounding, eyes darkened, vision blurred. In front of him - the figure of a man with his bow fully came into view. "My lord, hurry up!"

When he jumped into the last paddy field, Yayo felt a gust of wind blowing from behind.She couldn't help but look back, only to see a huge monster's face in front of her. The next moment, Takahaya's strong bow swished, and the thick arrow pierced the monkey's head.The monster fell into the mud with a somersault. Jumping onto the ridge through the slimy paddy field, Takahaya ordered: "Light on fire!" The crisp sound of flint came and went.Yayu, who fell to the ground and crawled forward a few steps, turned his head to look, and saw that the paddy field had turned into a sea of ​​flames—a lot of oil had been spilled in advance.The jumping monkeys writhed like crazy, but couldn't escape.Miyo remembered what the king had said to him.The monster is afraid of heat and is sensitive to heat. Once it is surrounded by heat waves, it cannot move.

But nearly half of the monkeys stopped before entering the paddy field.They bypassed the flames and continued to press.Seeing the monsters scattered, Takahaya shouted: "Kill!" The falcons shouted and came out from under the embankment.The monkeys quickly changed direction, swung their scythes, and killed five or six people on the spot.The falcons showed no fear, surrounded the monkeys and slashed them, even smashing them into the fire with their bodies.Although the old, weak and remnant soldiers of Yamatai Palace were frightened at first, they were also deeply encouraged by seeing this scene, and they all joined the battle regardless of their own safety.

The outcome was decided—burned monkey carcasses were piled in the fields where the fire was fading, and the furrows were full of corpses. After finishing the inspection, Takahaya reported to Yayo, "Twenty-two were killed." "Well done." "The remaining monsters must be wiped out as soon as possible." This battle wiped out only the monsters on the side of Er Chengshan, and half of them remained on the other side.Thinking of this, Mi Yu just stood up when he suddenly heard someone shout: "Look over there!" I saw the flag at the foot of the mountain fluttering, but it was not the flag of Yamatai, but a slender flag, rushing towards here.

There are hundreds of people coming with the banners - no, there are more than a thousand.Yayu and the others couldn't help being dumbfounded. The vanguard on horseback finally came up close, reined in his horse in front of Miyo and asked, "Are you from Yamatai? Killed the monster?" Miyu felt the need to maintain the majesty of the queen at this time, so he gave Gan a look.Gan took a step forward and shouted: "This is Her Highness Himiko, Queen of Yamatai. Who are you?" "It turned out to be the Queen!" The soldier flew off his horse and fell to the ground.

"His Royal Highness, the minister is the second official of the slave country, Yishou. Because of the "Envoy Order", following the order of the first official, the fierce horse gu, led 1,200 troops to come here to help fight against monsters." "Slave country..." Miyu couldn't help murmuring in response.Previously, officials from various countries were used to spread the news of the fighting to various countries, and now it is finally showing results. "We killed 20 monsters on the other side of the mountain, and helped Lord Ijima of Yamatai."

"Ah, is Lord Ijima safe and sound?" Taka Saya was beaming with joy.Yi Shou nodded. After a while, Gao Rigen, who was guarded by the soldiers from the slave country, knelt down in front of Miyu.His clothes were torn, and a bloody gash was cut on his shoulder, obviously the result of a fierce battle all the way.He said in a hoarse voice: "The queen came out in person, and Yizhima was very grateful..." "Okay, it's even harder for you to fight to protect the people." When Mi Yu spoke directly, Gao Rigen couldn't help raising his head, but immediately fell down again.Mi Yu caught a glimpse of a slight bitterness on his face.

Cheers came from nearby villages.Gan looked around for a moment, then whispered to Miyu: "It seems to be celebrating being saved. Look, dancing so happily." Mi Yu followed the reputation.I saw the girls hugging - jumping and laughing together, celebrating their escape from death. After two months, Mi Yu returned to the palace again.The noise of the night battalion army came faintly. The 3,000 troops from the Touma Kingdom arrived at dusk on the same day that the Slavery Army arrived.I heard from them that there will be more troops and food from other countries in the future. Listening to the noise in the distance, Mi Yu sat facing Gao Rigen. Yizhima's face was gloomy, probably not only because of the lack of light from the lampstands on the walls on both sides.There is a layer of haze under the slightly drooping man's eye sockets.The beard on his lips moved, and a deep voice leaked out: "Queen..." "Himiko is fine. When you kidnapped me from the village, didn't you call me a little girl? When did that happen?" Gao Rigen deliberately ignored Mi Yu's old memories and walked forward. "Then, may I ask His Highness Himiko, are you really planning to lead the army of another country just like this?" "That's the only way, isn't it? The soldiers of all countries don't know the mighty virtue of the king of the "Envoy", and they don't understand each other's languages." "Can you leave these mundane matters to me, Yizhima?" Gao Rigen bowed politely, "His Highness Himihu should sit in the palace, appease the common people, and preside over the sacrifices. Fighting is a man's job. Your Highness If there is a mistake in the body, I will die for the crime." "Don't be duplicity. Seeing the size of the army, you feel that the foundation is not stable. If I lead the army, not only can I increase my prestige, but as long as I want to, I can also face the national cabinet head-to-head..." Speaking of this, Mi Yu smiled slightly, and said sarcastically: "You think this is what I think? Now, do you still want to hold the Witch King in your hand? You know my thoughts, right? " "... That's true." A wry smile flashed across Ichima's face, "You really don't care about Himiko's title..." Only this two people understand each other, Mi and Xiang.Now I know this person's character very well, and I have seen the clues as early as the first time I saw him. That was when I was just ten years old... Mi and his playmates of the same age were catching loach together in the river, when suddenly a horse came galloping, splashing everywhere.At that time, Gao Rigen, who hadn't grown a beard yet, asked the children around who Miyu was, and then cast sharp eyes on her.The first sentence I said to her was too much: "Little girl, are you a virgin?" Mi Yu was speechless.Gao Rigen looked at the children around him, and asked rudely, "Among you guys, no one has slept with this girl, right?" Around Mi and there are also girls who are married at the age of eleven or twelve, but Yamatai does not have the lewd custom of casual intercourse.Therefore, Gao Rigen's question can be said to be very rude.But under his intimidation, everyone lowered their eyes and pretended not to know. Unfortunately, the silence at the scene was taken as an affirmation of the problem.Gao Rigen suddenly stretched out his arms to hug Miyu, and said loudly: "Guoge divination, this girl will be the witch king. Boys, go back and tell her parents that Miyu will be the king of Yamatai!" That's how it happened.Yayu cried loudly on the violently shaking saddle, but was dragged abruptly to the palace.Since then, he has never seen his parents who are the magistrate.They are said to have died shortly thereafter. Confinement day after day.Every day, the old predecessor Mima ascended to teach Miyu and the various rules in the palace, or else he obeyed and performed divination.Gao Rigen got the official position of Yizhima because of finding Yayu Yugong, and since then he has been able to influence political affairs by himself under the name of Himiko.Although Mi Yu lived a life without worrying about food and clothing, he was surrounded by servants who only knew how to bow their knees to Gao Rigen, and they were often not allowed to step out of the room for several days in a row. If Gao Rigen made any mistakes, it is probably because he misjudged Miyu's actual qualities. As he grows older, Miyu becomes more and more difficult to deal with, and often plays some troublesome pranks.The slaves and maidservants adhere to the principle that one thing more is worse than one thing less, as long as Gao Rigen doesn't order to prohibit it, they will make troubles at will.Refuse to eat, pierce the roof, throw away the sacrificial vessels, etc., and so on, let her do it.Of course, if these pranks are done once, they will be banned, but next time Yayo will use his ingenuity to come up with new pranks.This actually exercised her wisdom and courage. However, when she was fifteen years old, she stopped playing practical jokes.Because she finally understood that to deal with the insidious people around her, it is better to compromise than to go her own way.Learning to find a substitute so that he can go out in disguise, and summoning Gan to be his personal valet are all skills learned at this time.Moreover, after interacting with Guoge for such a long time, Mi Yu gradually knew what things they did not care about.There is only one point: as long as you play the role of the Witch King well, don't let his authority be damaged. However, the biggest reason why Mi Yu played the role of the Witch King seriously was because she saw through Gao Rigen's true thoughts.After menarche, her breasts and hips began to develop, and her hair and stature grew.Gao Rigen entered the inner palace more times looking for trouble, and his eyes often stayed on Mi Yu. She couldn't help but think of the question he asked herself when they first met. While enshrining Miyu as the Witch King, Gao Rigen also wanted to take her into his family. In order to protect himself, Yayu's countermeasure is to add the authority of the witch king to himself.The higher his status, the less Gao Rigen should dare to act rashly. So far, this method has more or less restrained him. Gao Rigen is also well aware of this.If he wanted to forcefully satisfy his desires, he might even lose his current status—he knew this very well. "His Highness Himiko..." Under the flickering light of the fire, Gao Rigen took a few steps forward, and He Miyu was almost within reach.Mi Yu's whole body tensed up, suppressing the urge to jump backwards, and shouted: "Don't get close! You are my concubine's younger brother." "certainly……" "And you already have three wives. It must be very lonely to leave them to fight." Mi Yu cleverly changed the subject while glaring at Gao Rigen sternly.This man, who was nearly fifty years old, was bowing his not thin body humbly to the ground, but he was not stupid.Not only is he not stupid, but he is also more calculating than anyone else.Yayo reminded himself to take advantage of this, and then said again: "Gao Rigen, you see, the war is actually in the hands of Takahaya, whom you trust. I have watched him coldly these days, and I can see that he is a very loyal person .Let’s leave it to him. On the other hand, political affairs can’t be done without you. At this moment, it’s really difficult without a strong man to protect the fields. You can’t take on this important task... What do you think?” Gao Rigen looked up at Miyu, blinking his eyes a few times, as if he was doing extremely complicated calculations in his mind. After a while, Gao Rigen kowtowed and said, "Himihu's words are very true. I'm so talented, I'm so stupid." As soon as Gao Rigen stepped back, Riddle immediately became exhausted, but seeing Gan following the servant who was holding the meal, she couldn't help but feel that his appearance alone was enough to wipe away Gao Dian's bad luck. Mi and Gan stayed alone to serve him a meal, and while eating, he recalled the confrontation just now.What a waste of time.The most urgent thing right now is how to allocate resources and how to defeat monsters, but in order to dispel the doubts in Gao Rigen's heart, he has to spend his words to appease him... "Are you tired, His Highness? Your face..." "What's wrong with my face? You're the one who hasn't even wiped off the mud during the day." Gan hurriedly raised his hand to wipe his face.Mi Yu smiled and said, "I'm lying to you." Then he reached out to pick up the roasted venison.Let's just leave it at that about Gao Rigen, it's best not to think about it.In contrast, there are even more strange things: why all the countries suddenly send troops to help? How could the countries standing side by side with Wa country believe in the existence of monsters and the existence of the king of "Envoy" so easily?Why is the "Envoy", which has been just a piece of paper for a long time, suddenly so useful?The reason why the countries sent reinforcements is because they want to give themselves full assistance?Although Yayo has no real power, he can guess the plans of the leaders of the countries.Now that the Yamatai Kingdom is in trouble, why not take advantage of the opportunity to annex the Yamatai Kingdom in the name of reinforcements, and have yourself be the new king of the Wa Kingdom? There are probably too many people who think this way. But it wasn't right either... the motive wasn't strong enough for them.No matter which country, sending one or two thousand troops would be a huge burden on the treasury, and seizing power would mean making enemies with dozens of other countries, and it would not be easy to succeed.In this way, besides the selfish desire to fight for hegemony in the name of aid, is there any other reason? ...Suddenly, a terrible question arose in Mi Yu's heart.She reached out to touch Gouyu, and her fingers couldn't help trembling slightly. "Katie...is there?" "Ok." There was a strange lightness in Katie's voice.Miyu pretended to be ignorant and asked: "More than forty monsters are very suitable. They won't cause too much damage, and they are enough to motivate soldiers to fight." Katie's answer was far beyond Yayo's expectations: "You can finally understand O." "……What's the meaning?" Yayo shivered.Katie's tone was extremely calm, as if talking about someone she didn't know.
