However, although it was a troublesome matter, it was actually just helping to deal with the affairs of a demon named Aradaki Ichito.
Thomas didn't know why the head of the family cared so much about a ghost, but he also knew that with the powerful talents of the ghosts, it would definitely not be a bad thing if he could pull them to his camp.
Besides... ... Tianling Fengxing seems to be preparing for something big recently. While helping the master solve the ghost prison escape incident, he also decided to find out the situation.
After all, in a sense, Tianling Fengxing has completely defected to the Fatui. Who knows whether what they are planning will affect the head of the family and the eldest daughter
With this mood, Thomas decided to go to Tenryo Bugyosho.
Although he is a retainer of the shrine's magistrate, his network of connections extends throughout the entire Inazuma. Not to mention the shrine's magistrate, there are also a few people among the Fatui with whom he can have a say.
So this task was none other than him.
However, when he arrived at the door of Tenryo Bugyoso, he found that the buglers at the door looked at him strangely.
The look that revealed a hint of pity amidst the surprise gave him a bad feeling.
"Stop, this is the Tianling Fengxing Office, no one who has no connections is allowed to enter or leave casually."
Thomas was about to say hello to the followers standing at the door, but the other party coldly placed the weapon in his hand across his face and warned him.
This kind of behavior of the other party really made Thomas very confused.
Didn't they drink and flirt with girls together a while ago? Why is it that today he seems like a different person, so cold
"Brother, we..."
"Need I warn you again?"
Originally Thomas wanted to continue to get close to the other party, but after hearing what the other party said, he was stunned.
warn
After staring at the other person for a few moments, he understood a very important message from the other person's eyes.
That's the warning.
Warn him not to come over and not to enter the Tianling Bugyosho.
And... ...get away!
"Okay, excuse me."
After understanding the other party's meaning, Thomas bowed to him and turned to leave.
But after taking a few steps out, a slightly teasing voice came from behind.
"Mr. Thomas, right?"
Thomas' heart sank when he heard the voice. He planned to pretend that he hadn't heard it and continued walking towards Hanamizaka.
He was very familiar with this voice. It belonged to the hatamoto of Tenryo Bugyosho and one of the confidants of the old fox Kujo Takayuki.
His position with Kujo Takayuki is no less than his position with Shabu-kun.
But before he could take a few steps, a team of fully armed followers rushed to his side and surrounded him.
Thomas had not seen such a scene in Inazuma Castle for a long time since the rebels rose up. If he guessed correctly... this team of officials was equipped specifically for the purpose of executing the Eye Hunting Order.
Is it possible
"Isn't this Mr. Hatamoto? Long time no see."
Surrounded by a team of soldiers armed to the teeth, Thomas showed no fear. As usual, he ignored these magistrates and greeted the hatamoto who was walking slowly towards him.
The so-called hatamoto, in the annotation, refers to the guards under the command of the commander-in-chief on the battlefield, basically all of them are well-known figures.
Thomas had also dealt with this hatamoto before, but after noticing his loyalty to Kujo Takayuki, he gradually distanced himself from him.
I heard that he is now under the direct command of the general, assisting General Kujo in carrying out the mission of the Eye Hunting Order.
Is it possible
Touching his Eye of God, Thomas suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Mr. Thomas, I was originally planning to prepare a generous gift and visit the Society Executive in person, but I never thought you would take the initiative like this. It saved me a lot of trouble."
Looking at Thomas in front of him, Hatamoto said.
He wasn't lying.
Even if the magistrate nodded and the shogun stamped his seal, it would not be an easy thing for him, as a hatamoto, to take Thomas away under the pressure of Princess Shirasagi and the magistrate.
But if Thomas took the initiative to show up in front of the Tenryo Bugyosho, then everything would be much simpler.
He just needs to follow the general's orders and take Thomas away.
Afterwards, even if Princess Shiraha and Lord Shebuxing wanted to cause trouble for him, he would have enough reasons to shirk responsibility. After all, if you trace back, it was all the General's idea.
"Why me?"
Looking at the hatamoto in front of him, Toma asked with a little confusion.
Just as he knows the other party's identity, the other party should also know his importance to the society. By doing this... isn't he afraid of causing conflict between the two parties
"I'm sorry, Mr. Thomas. This is the general's intention. Otherwise... who would want to take on such a tough job?"
As if he had expected Thomas to ask this, Hatamoto took out the document he had prepared long ago and handed it to Thomas, who looked wary.
Thomas opened the document doubtfully, and after roughly scanning the contents, his expression suddenly changed.
As a close confidant of Kamisato Ayato, he was very clear about the authenticity of the document in his hand.
In other words... ... it was the General who personally ordered his arrest, and planned to escort him to the Thousand-Armed and Hundred-Eyed Statue to personally remove his 100th divine eye for use in the Eye Hunting Ceremony.
"Wait a minute... In other words, what you have been preparing for during this period of time is..."
Thinking of this, Thomas seemed to realize something.
"You guessed it right. It is the [Eye Hunting Ceremony] with you, Mr. Thomas, as the main character."
Hatamoto didn't find it strange that Thomas knew all this. After all, they didn't hide much in this matter.
After a brief silence, Thomas showed a wry smile on his face.
He had planned everything, but he hadn't expected this.
In other words, I personally delivered the head into the spring
Isn't it ironic
"So you're going to resist?"
After taking the document handed back by Thomas, Hatamoto looked at Thomas with a smile and asked.
Although he said this, he had no intention of being on guard and did not even draw his knife.
Because he knew very well that the housekeeper in front of him would never choose to resist.
"Do I have a choice?"
After a wry smile, Thomas raised his hands and allowed the followers around him to pin him to the ground and tie him up with hemp ropes.
Rebellion
It is clearly written in the document that this is the general's intention. Resisting these people is equivalent to rebelling against the general.
If he really did that, it would bring endless trouble to the community magistrate and the head of the family.
The only choice he had was to surrender.
Chapter 958 A Person with a Special Identity
Perhaps because it is near the sea, the weather in Inazuma is always changeable. In the morning, the sky is clear, but after noon, there are signs of dark clouds approaching in the sky.
At the end of the White Fox Wild Road, a dark figure formed a sharp contrast with the hurried pedestrians beside it.
He was carrying a very petite woman on his back, who looked like his sister.
The dark figure said something to the girl on his back from time to time, and his gentle smile made the originally gloomy White Fox Field brighter.
The girl looked like she had not woken up yet. Although her eyes rolled around from time to time, she did not speak. Instead, she listened quietly to what her "brother" said.
These two people are naturally Bai Luo and Jiuqi Shinobu.
How to say it
Compared with the thorny grass powder that Jiuqi Shinobu sprinkled into the hillbilly camp, the powder blown back by Bai Luo was in a smaller dosage.
Although she was successfully knocked down, her consciousness was still there. Although she was in a confused state, she was awake at least.
However, because she had rinsed her mouth with water before, her tongue was currently paralyzed and she was unable to open her mouth at all.
Jiuqi Shinobu was quite resistant to Bai Luo carrying her away, but thinking of the danger of Baihu Nono and her inability to resist, she could only let him take her away.
"Come to think of it, aren't there fewer people in the suburbs?"
After finally arriving at the outskirts of the city, Bai Luo looked at the situation on the outskirts of the city and asked Jiuqi Shinobu on his back.
Before, due to various reasons, not many people stayed in the suburbs, but at least some people could still be seen.
But today, apart from the dog tied under the big tree next to the waterwheel at the city gate, there was no sign of any living creature.
After hearing Bai Luo's words, Jiuqi Shinobu also moved his eyes, which were still able to move, to check the situation around him.
Just as Bai Luo said, let alone human figures, there was not even the sound of people talking in the surrounding rooms. It was extremely quiet.
After observing around for a while, Bai Luo walked to the stream next to the waterwheel, looked at the basin of half-washed clothes, and had a rough guess in his mind.
"The clothes that are being washed have not been put away. It looks like something has happened in the city. Let's go take a look together?"
In fact, Bai Luo already had a rough idea of what was happening here, because according to his perception, Thomas was near the Thousand-Armed and Hundred-Eyed Statue.
Why he was there... ...is self-evident.
But Bai Luo did not tell Jiuqi Shinobu the whole story. Instead, he pretended that he knew nothing and looked very interested.
No matter what Bai Luo thought, Jiuqi Shinobu felt a pang in his heart and had a bad premonition in an instant.
Early this morning, Arata Ichito left Konda Village and came to the White Fox Field on the pretext of destroying the Hilichurl camp.
But from beginning to end, she never saw him show up, which means... ... he most likely did not go to the Hillil people's camp, but returned to Inazuma Castle.
If he really comes back, Tianling Fengxing, who originally didn't want to care about him, can no longer sit idly by.
If they just arrest him again, that's not a big deal. At most they can make him stay in there for a while longer so that he can reflect on himself.
But if he resists
She no longer dared to think about the consequences.
"Why, you care a lot?"
As if he had sensed what Jiuqi Shinobu was thinking, Bai Luo looked at Jiuqi Shinobu whose head was resting on his shoulder and asked.
Jiuqi Shinobu: "..."
Jiuqi Shinobu wanted to say something, but apart from his eyes rolling around, he was unable to speak.
"Since you have been trying to help me in the White Fox Wilderness just now, I will help you too."
Jiuqi Shinobu: "..."
When Bai Luo mentioned the matter of White Fox Field again, Jiuqi couldn't help but roll his eyes.
If she had known what was going on, she would not have saved Bai Luo, but she almost got herself involved.
No... In this situation, she has already put herself in trouble.
Not to mention whether she can refuse now, even if she can speak, she will not refuse Bai Luo's current proposal. She cares very much about what happened in Inazuma City.
In this way, the two of them walked through the outskirts of the city and arrived at Hanamizaka.
Compared to the suburbs, there are still some people to be seen in Hanamizaka, but these people are either packing up their stalls or rushing towards the town street. It is estimated that it will not be long before this place will become deserted like the suburbs.
"It's not convenient to take you with me. Please wait here. I'll go and ask about the situation."
Looking at the ramen stall not far away that was slowly packing up, Bai Luo temporarily placed Jiuqi Shinobu on the bench next to it and then went over.
"Grandpa, are you still selling ramen?"
"No more for sale. Everyone has gone to see the general. No one is coming to eat."
The old man waved his hand and spoke, which further confirmed Bai Luo's thoughts.
But... ... even if it's an eye-hunting ceremony, it shouldn't be so exaggerated that the streets are deserted, right
