20. Punishment for failure(1/2)
"Countdown 5:55:55."
A big hand suddenly grasped Kujo Sanra's wrist, followed by familiar frivolous words.
"Kujo-sama still likes to be rough."
"It's hard to get closer to little Paimon and Ying with you like this~"
"But this is good, it proves that the recovery is very good."
Under Kujo Sora's surprised gaze, Zhou Ze actually touched her cheek, moving his fingers wildly, kneading and pinching, and finally looked at the palm of his hand, moving his fingers slightly, as if he was savoring the feeling of the hand.
Kujo Sora's originally cold face quickly turned red. He didn't know whether it was because he was pinched or...
The hand holding Paimon slowly lost its strength, and Paimon quickly flew into Ying's arms and hid.
"Ruddy face."
"The look in his eyes is still so cold, now I feel relieved."
The Narukami Grand Shrine was faintly enveloped by the power of thunder. Ying hugged Paimon and silently retreated a little further. The Yae Kamiko rested his chin on his hand, and a smile flashed on his face, seeming to be quite interested in this.
Kujo Sora raised his hand and slapped Zhou Ze's hand away. Before she could say anything angry and scolding, Zhou Ze collapsed on the ground.
Looking at Zhou Ze's pale face and his dull eyes, she realized that Zhou Ze's current condition was very bad.
Kujo Sora asked worriedly: "What happened?"
"How did you become like this?"
Being held by Kujo Sora and smelling the faint fragrance emanating from her body, Zhou Ze felt much more relaxed and simply lay in her arms.
Admiring Kujo Sanra's profile, Zhou Ze let out a chuckle.
"Why do I feel like this scene seems a bit familiar?"
Zhou Ze held Kujo Sora's hand and shook it.
"Take me away..."
"I don't want to stay here..."
Ying and Paimon looked at each other quietly in the distance. Paimon scratched his head and said, "It's more than just familiar, they are exactly the same."
Seeing the sad smile on Zhou Ze's handsome face, Kujo Sora's slightly cold hand touched Zhou Ze's forehead, and she whispered: "You are already like this, do you still want to laugh at me?"
"I just want to see what Kujo-sama is like in daily life."
Kujo Sora looked at Zhou Ze's serious black eyes and was silent for a long time. She seemed a little at a loss. She raised her hand and pushed her hair behind her ears.
"how...?"
"So lovely."
It wasn't a special compliment, but Kujo Sora's body trembled, she lowered her head and stopped talking.
Originally, he wanted to say something to comfort Zhou Ze, but at this moment Kujou Sanluo's heart was beating fast, so he couldn't help but care about the other meanings of those words. He struggled in his heart many times, Kujou
Shan Luo still felt that he really couldn't say those words to Zhou Ze that were supposed to be ordinary greetings.
Kujo Sora was very puzzled. She thought it was okay when she was trying to appease the lieutenants, but why couldn't she do it when it came to Zhouze?
"Kujo-sama?"
Hearing Zhou Ze's confused inquiry, Kujo Sura had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Are you... okay...?"
Feeling the change in Kujo Sora's voice, Zhou Ze smiled and said, "I can't die for the time being."
The words had been spoken, but there was no way to take them back. Kujo Sora could only continue with a blushing face: "Do you want me to help you go to the house to recuperate?"
"May I?"
Zhou Ze asked this while looking at Yae Shenzi, but Kujo Sanra kept his head down, so he didn't notice.
"I only helped you because you were injured, so don't think too much about it."
"I will help even ordinary soldiers."
"Although I have known for a long time that Kujo-sama cares about the soldiers, I still want to remind you."
"What?"
"I was asking Mr. Yae Gongji just now."
"After all, this is Narukami Grand Shrine, not a military camp, nor the Kujo family..."
Zhou Ze's explanation made Kujo Sanra blush instantly. She felt that her brain was in chaos, and for a moment she completely lost her composure on the front line.
"I...I...I..."
"sure."
The chuckle of Yae Shenzi behind him was like a mockery of Kujo Sora. Kujo Sora helped Zhou Ze up and put his hands on his shoulders.
Taking advantage of this gap, Zhou Ze whispered into Kujo Sora's pink ear: "Kujo-sama, your reaction now is really cute~"
Kujo Sora, who was already red-faced, transformed into Steam Princess. Without saying anything along the way, he helped Zhou Ze to the room where she had been resting.
The room was very clean and the quilts were folded neatly and squarely, just like a military formation.
Looking around, Zhou Ze said, "Sir Kujo, this is a secret message from the general."
"The General's secret message?"
Kujo Sora knelt down respectfully. She stretched out her hands and took it carefully.
Looking at the contents of the letter, Kujo Sora looked slightly strange.
"How can it be..."
"What's wrong?"
Kujo Sora looked at Zhou Ze and said with a serious face: "I'm sorry, this is a secret letter from the General. I can't comment on the content."
"I need to get to the front line now."
"You can rest here to recover."
Standing at the door, Kujo Sora's voice became much softer.
"wait me back."
After being convinced that Kujo Sora had really left, Zhou Ze began to cough violently. The consequences of the failure of the mission were far beyond Zhou Ze's imagination, and now his body was very weak.
Yae Shenzi leaned against the door frame. She looked at Zhou Ze's embarrassed figure and let out a soft sigh.
"Lord Zhou Ze, falsely passing on the general's secret message is a capital offense."
"What are you going to pay to buy me off?"
Zhou Ze looked at Yae Shenzi and said calmly: "If that is not a personal letter from the General, how could he possibly deceive her?"
"So I don't think this is a fake secret message."
"That's true."
Yae Shenzi looked at Zhou Ze's pale face and curled his long hair with his jade fingers. She asked curiously: "I don't know what Lord Zhou Ze wants to do, but he even wants to send Lord Kujo away."
"Cough cough cough——"
Zhou Ze stroked his chest, his voice full of coldness.
"Purge the traitors and reorganize the shogunate."
"Is this what the General meant?"
"That's what I meant."
"What are you going to do?"
Zhou Ze looked at the Eightfold Divine Son with a calm expression.
Yae Shenzi crossed her arms and looked Zhou Ze up and down.
"Is it really okay for you to look like this now?"
Zhou Ze can understand the doubts of the Eightfold God Son, but cannot accept it, so he has to prove that he can do it.
"The evidence confirming that Xingxing has dealings with fools has been conclusive."
"But judging from the current situation, it is completely insufficient."
"We also need to prove that Tian Ling Feng Xing also has contacts with the Fools, so that he can be reported to the General by the Society or me, so that she can completely abolish the Eye Hunting Order."
"good."
Zhou Ze said in a deep voice: "Evidence of such importance will definitely be hidden deeply by Tianling. It will not be easy to find it."
"You mean you can get it?"
"Yes, but I need help."
Yae Shenzi caressed her chin. She looked at Zhou Ze and asked, "What do you mean, General?"
"as always."
