When talking about a creature like a crow, the first thing that comes to mind is its black color. Based on this, everyone regards crows as creatures that can only live at the junction of darkness and light and in the darkness.
At dusk, on the dim branches, two crows shook their heads and blinked their pure black eyes at the giant eagle that had just grabbed a giant snake in front of them and then flew into the sky again.
Compared with the crows who can only live cautiously in the darkness and eat carrion, the giant eagle has a firm gaze and never dodges. It is always honest and straightforward in doing things and hunting.
One of the crows suddenly discovered something. It was in the direction of the snake that had just been snatched by the giant eagle - there was a small snake!
Wow!
The crow, eager to hunt like an eagle, hissed and rushed directly towards the snake, which was much smaller than itself.
Success! The first time a crow imitated an eagle, it succeeded! It stood proudly next to its trophy—the corpse of a little snake that had been killed by itself not long after it was born! It's like announcing something!
At the same time, another crow was also touched by his companion's performance. The crow was thoughtful as he looked at the remaining snake egg over there that was still trembling slightly as if it was about to break out of its shell.
The final result was that these two crows were standing next to the corpses of two little snakes that had just broken out of their shells, and they were squawking like crazy, as if to say... From this moment on, they are no longer dark crows. But like an eagle.
However, what these two crows did not notice was that behind them, a snake that quietly and slowly approached and spit out snake letters was staring at them closely...
Jiang Cheng no longer had the desire to look down, so he turned around and looked away. Amidst the pitiful cries of crows coming from behind, he looked towards the setting sun with only a trace of light left in the distance.
Night... seems to be coming soon.
The fighting in Shiranui Village also stopped half an hour ago. No one knew why the Narakus who fell from the sky wanted to kill the original Narakus.
After the original wave of Narakus were wiped out, the others stopped and just surrounded the remaining people without saying a word.
Under the setting sun, Afutu shook off the blood on his umbrella and raised the corners of his mouth with a bit of disdain: "Ara ala~ Could it be said that crows can also have internal strife? Rabbits have never heard of it."
"Huh huh huh..." Takasugi, who was covered in blood on the side, lowered his head and covered his face, his shoulders trembling, "Interesting... it's so interesting! I want to see the person behind me more and more! Huh huh huh hahahaha..."
"Is your general okay?" Afutu asked Xiangwu Shibianpingtai, "How can he still laugh at this time? You must know that no matter which crow they belong to, they are our enemies."
"It's okay, Futu." Kamui on the side said with a smile, "Gao Zai is just like me. He is the type who gets excited when the answer to the mystery is getting closer and the clues given become more and more incredible."
…
On the other side, outside the secret passage of Shiranui Village.
Looking at the huge spaceship docked there and the countless Naraku people, everyone who survived looked incredulous.
"Hey, what's going on?" Yue Yong asked Jiang Cheng, who was looking at the horizon with a solemn expression, "Why are these crows killing each other?"
"Huh? You ask me?" Jiang Cheng, who had come back to his senses, pointed at himself with a naturally dumb expression on his face.
Yue Yong held her forehead and sighed heavily: "Ah... it is indeed wrong to have expectations for you."
"Isn't this kind of internal strife normal?" Gintoki picked his nostrils with a disapproving look on his face, "Just like couples who have been married for many years, there will always be some friction, fights, etc. It's normal. Even those who are often together Couples who show affection on Weibo may not necessarily be harmonious behind the scenes. We may just happen to see the couple quarreling behind the scenes."
"No, they are completely different things! Discord with the couple's life are completely different things!" Kondo complained as he sat slumped on the ground.
Fourteen, who was also slumped on the ground, analyzed by himself: "But... from this point of view, these crows are not monolithic. Just like our country, there are also serious internal conflicts."
"Ah, it seems that is indeed the case." Baidi Luanpo, who was tightly guarding Maomao's side and was stained red with blood, nodded gently, and then glanced at Kondo and Shishi, "Speaking of which... already Have you rested? Now is not the time to take a leisurely rest... "
"Ah, I know." After saying that, Kondo, who had regained some of his strength, gritted his teeth and stood up unsteadily, "Now is... where the real BOSS is."
"Kondo-san, do you have any other big moves?" Fourteen, who was covered in bandages, stood up unsteadily while holding on to the wall. "I'm sorry, I probably don't have any big moves left."
Looking at the hundreds of Naraku standing in front of him on both sides of the spacecraft, Kondo chuckled softly: "I don't want to say it, but I'm the same as you. If Butt Hair is a big move, I probably still have some left. A lot of rain…”
"That's really... despairing..." Fourteen chuckled and shook his head.
"Thank you for your hard work," an old man's voice came slowly from the hatch of the spaceship, "Thank you for your hard work for this operation. Not only did you protect Duke Maomao from the thieves, but you also helped us eliminate so many traitors. , you are truly loyal ministers and good generals.”
Looking at the old man wearing a bamboo hat who slowly walked to the hatch of the spaceship, Xinbaji's pupils suddenly shrank.
"That...that is...!"
"Heaven...Heavenly Daoist people!" Maomao was also a little unbelievable.
…
On the other side, Afutu also thought of something and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's true, it turns out that's what happened. These guys had known all the plans for a long time, so they decided to sit back and watch, and even exposed their own internal conflicts. Throw it to us, kill two birds with one stone, and reap the benefits. Let us, the Hitotsubashi faction, fight with the Shogun's people, and throw out the bad things within ourselves, and finally catch everyone in one fell swoop without any effort. ... It's a good plan. But... do you think you can peck our eyeballs now? Don't be kidding..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the communicator in Afutu's arms suddenly made a rustling sound.
"Deputy Commander! The troops on standby near the Earth are in emergency!"
Afutu muttered unhappily: "What? Could it be that these crows have flown into outer space?"
"No, it's Chunyu! Our troops are surrounded by Chunyu's fleet!"
"Yeah, yeah, the Senate actually came out to respond." After sighing helplessly, Afutu looked at Kamui on the side, "Captain, it seems that we are too naughty and are ready to retreat. …”
"Hmm~" Kamui still had a smile on his face, "The mystery will be solved soon. Wouldn't it be a pity to leave at this time?"
"That's right." Gao Shan also said this with a slight curl of his lips.
"How did the two of you manage to be exactly the same in a place like this? Where did the same idiot come from? That's enough. The samurai over there, leave the captain to me, and leave Takasugi to me. You guys. Withdraw!"
"Understood, Your Excellency Afutu!" Wu Shibian Pingtai responded.
…
"Your mission ends here," the old man continued, "Mr. Maomao will be left to us to protect him. Don't worry, we can take care of all the rest."
"How can we get what you want!" Quan Zang said, holding his chest and forcing himself to stand still to prevent himself from falling, "We are here fighting to the death with the hostile factions and your own troubles, and you people have been standing on the sidelines. You suddenly jumped out and said that you want to protect the general, are you planning to follow the Hitotsubashi faction and kill the disobedient general?"
"You are wrong." The old man shook his head and said slowly: "We will not do that. We have always stood by the general, and we will risk everything to protect the general and clear all obstacles for the general. This This is the creed of our Heavenly Dao people.”
"Really?" Quan Zang curled up his lips and snorted, "This is the first time I heard such interesting words, but... stop joking! You are just like Ding Ding, who wants to make the general at your disposal. The puppet!"
"How can an assistant be said to be a dominant general?" The old man wondered, "Okay... it's time to make a choice, Mr. Shigemo, should you go back to Edo and continue to be your general? Or... give up the position of general to others. Don’t worry, after returning to Edo, your safety will not be a problem at all..."
Hearing the voice-over, Xin Baji raised his eyebrows and asked coldly: "What do you mean?! The choice is...what choice?!"
"Ara? Didn't I say that?" The old man said with some doubts in his tone, "Our creed is to protect the general... and clear all obstacles for the general."
"That's not it!"
"Ah... I'm so old, I almost forgot the most important thing." As he said, the old man moved a step to one side, "We only protect the general. As for who the general is... we don't care..."
After that, Kiki Hitotsubashi, who was sitting in a wheelchair with his whole head wrapped in bandages, was pushed by a member of the Tendo clan and came to the old man's side.
"S... choose, whether to become a general again or give up the general to this Mr. Hitohashi, it all depends on your choice, Mr. Maomao."
[No, impossible! Why, this person who relied on the power of the Hitotsubashi faction to try to take the shogunate as his own...why did he destroy the Hitotsubashi faction together with the Tendo people? !]Xin Bajiu's pupils were shocked. It took him a long time to finally react and cursed angrily.
"Who do you think would allow such a thing!"
