What shocked Xiao Ling and Sakura at first and second was that Qianhe actually said without changing his expression: "I have been waiting for you here for a long time, and today you are finally here."

Xiao Ling looked into her eyes suspiciously, trying to tell whether her words were true or false: "Are you waiting for me?"

"I was ordered to wait for you, to be precise, I was waiting for the Shixiang family to come. Not only me, but all the shrine maidens from generation to generation were ordered to wait for the Shixiang family to come." Qianhe explained to the two of them with a smile. Confused.

Xiao Ling asked curiously: "Whose order?"

"Emperor Jimmu is the person you want to see." Chizuru put down her arm, still smiling, but with a different expression and a different smile, "I thought I would be like those shrine maidens in front of me, When I grow old and die, I won't be able to wait for you to come. I didn't expect that you would already be here when I still have youth to look forward to. However, you really made us wait for a long, long time." [

"I also wanted to come earlier, but I only realized recently that I should come here." Xiao Ling joked, "Are you complaining that I kept you waiting for too long?"

"I do blame you a little. I have spent my childhood and my flowers and rainy seasons here waiting for you. Don't you think I should blame you? Fortunately, you didn't ask me to wait until my beauty is old before coming. Otherwise, maybe I I will still be very fond of you." Qianhe said calmly.

Xiao Ling shrugged and said, "So, I arrived in time."

Qianhe covered her lips and smiled sweetly: "Compared to those who can't wait for you to come until they grow old and die, I am indeed much luckier, so now that you are here, I won't blame you."

Sakura asked curiously: "Priest Qianzuru, I want to know where you will go after you complete your mission?"

"As long as I complete the task, the Emperor will send someone to remove me from my position as a miko, and I will be free. At that time, I will no longer need to be bound by the rules of the shrine, and the future will be in my own hands. Hmm... Maybe I will leave Nagoya and travel around, maybe I will find a man to accompany me for the rest of my life." Chizuru planned a bright future and smiled as lightly as the wind.

Xiao Ling said half seriously and half jokingly: "Qianhe Shrine has such a beautiful woman who has attracted the attention of the whole country. Which man can make you like her and devote yourself to serve her? It is really a blessing that you have cultivated for three generations."

Qianhe laughed sweetly, her branches trembling with laughter, and she also joked with him: "I think you are very suitable for me, handsome Xiao Xiao. First of all, you are very beautiful, and secondly, you are better than me. I just like to compete." I am a strong man, I wonder if you, handsome Xiao Xiao, are willing to be this lucky man?"

Sakura was surprised. She didn't expect that the priest, who was as noble as a lotus flower, would actually say such a thing. Even if it was a joke, it was not said by someone of her status.

Xiao Ling cursed in her heart, Damn it, did you get my gender wrong? What does it mean to be beautiful? Just let that girl A Li say so, and you say so too, this is what I call handsome, okay? He Smiling slightly, he asked instead: "Then I would also like to ask Miss Qianhe, are you willing to let me be this lucky man?"

Qianhe said in a sweet voice: "Brother Xiao, you are really not graceful. How can you let a girl talk about this kind of thing? You are a man, so you should be the one chasing after me."

I was so cute, I really didn't expect that this lotus-like priestess and witch could be so charming and charming when she started cooing and coquettishly. Sakura shook goosebumps all over her body, and Xiao Ling coughed twice and gave up. Embarrassed, he said: "Let's get down to business. Since your Emperor Jimmu asked you to wait here for the Shixiang family to come, he must have other things to explain."

"That's right." Qianhe also put away his smile, returned to his dignified and majestic look, and said, "The order he gave is that if someone from the Sixiang family comes, he will take you to see him."

Xiao Ling said in surprise, "Do you know where he is?"

Sakura also turned from worry to surprise. It was really hard to find a place without any effort. The great shrine maiden of Atsuta Shrine really knew where Xu Fu was.

"I'm just a little shrine maiden. How can I know where our god-like Emperor Jimmu is?" Chizuru poured a basin of cold water on their heads, which instantly cooled their joy.

Xiao Ling said with a solemn expression: "Priest Qianhe, you won't deliberately make things difficult for me just because I don't agree to be your man."

"I still like you to call me Miss Qianhe. If you like, you can call me Qianhe. I will no longer be a priest soon." Qianhe said calmly and calmly.

Xiao Ling was no longer calm: "I will call you whatever you like me to call you. I just hope you won't play tricks on me. If you take me to see him sooner, you can regain your freedom soon, right?" [

"Is it really okay to call me anything? What if I want you to call me wife?" Qianhe grabbed the key point and teased with a smile.

"Um..." Xiao Ling calmly sweated a little, "Are you serious? I will take it seriously. Then you will have no chance to regret it."

"Giggle..." Qianzhe smiled sweetly and said, "You are right, I really want to be free as soon as possible, but you want me to take you to see him, and I really don't know where he is. "

"Didn't you just say that he asked you to stay at Atsuta Shrine and wait for the Shixiang family to come and take them to see him? Why now..." Sakura thought she was going to regret it and became anxious.

"Don't worry, forget it, it's not all yours, handsome Xiao. I don't know, but that doesn't mean no one knows." Qianhe said sinisterly, leaving half and half. That treacherous expression made Xiao Ling, who had a false alarm, want to twitch. .

"Get rid of you and don't scare us." Xiao Ling glanced at her angrily and said.

"Young handsome boy, you are so timid. You are scared like this. If I make the joke bigger, won't you be scared to death and have a heart attack?" Qianhe said with a bright smile as her narrow starry eyes narrowed into a line. .

"You think too much. Apart from this, no other joke can scare me." Xiao Ling said proudly.

"Really? Let's wait and see." Chizuru winked and said something meaningfully, and then said, "I still need to make preparations to tell the contact person the news, so I can't take you there today. .Well, you go back and recharge your batteries first, then come back tomorrow."

"Okay, we will arrive as promised tomorrow. Miss Qianhe, don't joke with us anymore. If I am frightened, you will have waited in vain. I don't know how long you will have to wait again." Xiao Ling He stood up and joked back to Chizuru.

The playful look in Qianhe's eyes was even more intense, and she smiled so brightly that she said, "It seems that you are really scared, little handsome boy. Just say that once you are bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of well ropes for ten years, haha."

This witch is really a witch. When she is upright, she is a high and sacred priest. When she is charming, she is a charming little fairy. Xiao Ling smacked her lips secretly,

Hehe smiled and responded. He couldn't say, who said it? If you have a joke, just make a joke. In this case, the witch would not know what kind of expression she would use to play tricks on him.

Xiao Ling and Sakura walked out of the shrine hand in hand, and Qianzuru walked with them. The three of them were all smiling. It seemed that there was no conflict. Toyotomi Naotake and other samurai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After bidding farewell to Chizuru and the other samurai, Toyotomi Naotake took the initiative to take Sakura and Xiao Ling back to Nagoya, opened a luxury suite for them in the hotel, and then said goodbye respectfully. This made Priest Chizuru full of praise, and even Chizuru How dare he neglect someone who even the Crane Priest was defeated by him?

After Toyotomi Naotake left, Sakura said with concern: "Do you believe Chizuru will really take us there?"

"I believe half of her words and reserve the other half. But besides that, who else can we ask to take us there? The person most likely to know where Xu Fu is is him. If you don't believe it, you have to believe it. But don't worry, even if she No matter what tricks you play, it can't hurt you or me." Xiao Ling conjured two more red fruits, giving the first one to her.

"Thank you." Sakura happily accepted it. She had personally experienced the effects of this strange fruit. For martial arts practitioners, it was really a valuable treasure. After she ate one yesterday and absorbed the effects, she felt that she was simply After a few years of sudden increase in skill, Xiao Ling gave away such strange fruits one after another without hesitation, and she was grateful in her heart.

On that day, Sakura acted as a tour guide and took Xiao Ling for a brief tour of Nagoya. They went to Atsuta Shrine and saw the fake Kusanagi sword enshrined in Atsuta Shrine. They returned in the evening.

The next day, Toyotomi Shotake came to pick them up in the afternoon. This time, they no longer had to cover their eyes with black cloth. Apparently, Chizuru had given instructions that the location of Koarata Shrine should no longer be kept secret from Xiao Ling and Sakura. .

Still at the bottom of the mountain, the car stopped, and the three of them walked up the mountain to Koarata Shrine. Xiao Ling suddenly had a strange feeling. He frowned slightly and looked at Toyotomi Shomu in front of him, who walked as usual. Going up the bluestone stairs. He looked at the cherry blossoms and whispered: "I have a strange feeling."

Sakura suddenly had an idea in her heart: "Do you feel danger?"[

Xiao Ling shook his head slightly: "It feels very strange. I can't figure it out for the moment. Anyway, be careful."

The three of them walked through the main hall and came to the backyard. Yagyu and other samurai did not come today, and only Qianhe was drinking tea. Before they could get close, Xiao Ling suddenly stopped, and Sakura followed him and looked at him warily. Qianhe raised his head. , holding a tea cup in his hand, drinking tea gracefully, and said: "|Takeda-kun, since you are here, why don't you come over? Chizuru has made tea for you and is waiting for you to come."

Xiao Ling's eyes were as cold as electricity, and he quickly glanced at the nearby woods and said, "Priest Qianhe has made appointments with a lot of people today. I wonder if you can introduce them to me?"

Toyotomi Shotake's expression changed when he heard this, he looked back at Xiao Ling, and then looked at Qianhe suspiciously.

"Giggle..." Chizuru laughed sweetly and praised, "Takeda-kun is really good at hearing. These friends Qianzhe invited are all people with extraordinary backgrounds. They can't hide it from your eyes and ears." She said loudly to the bamboo forest. , "Dear guests, please come out and meet Takeda-kun, how about it?"

"Priest Qianhe is famous, how dare we disobey him?" Figures flew out one after another, standing around Xiao Ling and Sakura, surrounding them.

"Priest Qianhe, may I ask who these people are..." Xiao Ling glanced at these people solemnly and asked at the same time.

Chizuru smiled solemnly and said: "These are famous swordsman masters and swordsmen of the first generation. I heard that Takeda-kun defeated Toyotomi-kun with one move, and I want to ask you for advice."

Sure enough, Sakura's concerns were correct. The Qianzhe Shrine's palace was too deep to trust her too easily. Xiao Ling sighed with emotion and said: "Qianzhe Shrine really reminded me that the Queen's Tail Needle, a woman's words, is

Untrustworthy."
