"My emperor is prosperous and prosperous for thousands of generations."
"The gravel is rocky and covered with moss."
Ying Yuxia saw at a glance that an army was rushing over. Although the clothes of this army did not look uniform, the weapons were also scattered. Some were holding rifles, and some were holding knives. Both the clothes and weapons were very old in style. It's old, but the leader looks a bit familiar.
They were in a mess, but they sang together with firm steps. As they sang, all the lights went out. Pei Ziyun noticed that the electronic devices immediately stopped.
"Damn it!"
"It's the rebels who fell behind the scenes!" The housekeeper saw this scene from the window, and immediately gritted his teeth, his blood surged, and cursed loudly, and then said to Pei Ziyun: "Yamada-kun, our hotel is built with fortresses, even if there is a fall behind the scenes, Rebellious thieves can be suppressed by the security department!"
"But now many people have died in the civil strife. I'm afraid we can't hold on. I'll hold on to the fortress while you take the lady and hide in the secret passage!"
"Please protect the young lady, please!" The housekeeper bowed deeply to Pei Ziyun: "Also, Yamada-kun, please rest assured that as long as you protect the young lady, even if the fortress is breached, as long as the young lady is fine, the Bando Main Building will not fall. , and just hold on until dawn tomorrow."
The butler said, showing that this butler is a confidant of the Bando family and knows the secret, otherwise he would not say such things.
"Yes, please!" The butler bowed deeply to Pei Ziyun again.
Watching the housekeeper say such words, Bando Yuanzi's eyes were slightly red, tears flowed out, and she whispered: "Yamuro, please come with us!"
This housekeeper is Yamamuro Katsuaki, a descendant of the Bando family. He has been Bando Enzi's housekeeper for more than ten years, taking care of her life.
It can be said that Bando Enko grew up under the watch of Yamamuro Katsaki, so not only Bando Eenko respected him, but Yamamuro Katsaki also treated her as his own daughter.
Now Enko Bando couldn't bear it when she saw Yamamuro Katsuaki's decisiveness and the chaotic scene outside, and wanted Yamamuro Katsuaki to escape together.
But when Katsaki Yamamuro heard what Enko Bando said, tears burst into his eyes. He wiped the corners of his eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "Miss, I am Katsume Yamamuro and I am incompetent. I'm sorry for you."
"The Bando family is also sorry for you."
"However, you are the young master of the Bando family and our hope. Please follow Yamada-kun."
"As long as the young master is fine, the Bando family will be fine!"
"Eiko Tsubouchi, follow the young lady, and leave the rest to us." After saying that, Katsaki Yamamuro shouted to the surroundings: "Is there anyone alive in the Bando family?"
"Hi, we're here!"
After listening to Yamamuro Katsuaki's words, more than a dozen people gathered around. Among these dozen people were samurai and maids, and half were middle-aged and elderly people like Yamamuro Katsuaki. Almost all of them were injured and holding swords.
I just heard a fifty-year-old man shouting: "Keisuke, what are you doing, why don't you come up?"
"Nagata, Kudo!"
However, with the shouting, more people were trembling. One of them was shaken by the shouting, looked at him in shame, turned around and ran away.
"Asshole!" the person who came up yelled.
"Stop scolding, for many people in modern times, this is just a job." Yamamuro Katsuaki smiled bitterly: "Yamada-kun, I'm all in charge of you."
"Mr. Yamamuro, do you have a map of this building, and do we have any guns?" When Pei Ziyun saw this scene, he not only did not despise it, but sighed inwardly. More than a dozen people came forward. It is indeed a big family with such a family. foundation.
Those who encounter desperate situations, but do not abandon or give up, and are willing to die for the family are the foundation for the true rise of a family.
With these people, even if a family declines again, it still has a chance to make a comeback.
Of course, Pei Ziyun paid more attention to weapons. If he had guns and ammunition, it would not be too easy to kill the people below who seemed to be rebels.
"Japan has very strict gun control, and the Bando Main Building is closely monitored. There was a surprise inspection last month. There are really no guns."
"Even if there are a few, I don't think a traitor like Seiichiro Takeda will keep them."
"There is a map, and all the secret passages are there." Yamamuro Katsuaki took out the map, and then, together with a dozen people, bowed heavily: "Please."
"Let's go!" Pei Ziyun took the map and said immediately. Bando Yuanzi took a deep look at the group of middle-aged people behind, held back her tears, and without any hesitation, she and Tsubouchi Eiko walked out.
After walking along the corridor for a while, I arrived at a utility room.
This utility room looked very ordinary. Pei Ziyun took a look and found that there were old wardrobes, old chairs, and some scattered old things neatly placed in the utility room.
After wiping her tears, Tsubouchi Eiko entered the utility room. Without hesitation, she immediately came to the old wardrobe, opened it, and fiddled with it a few times.
The wardrobe quickly moved to the left, revealing the ground. Eiko Tsubouchi opened a large tile on the ground, revealing a passage below.
"Miss, Yamada-kun, hurry up." Eiko Tsubouchi signaled to enter. At this time, Pei Ziyun heard the shouting of killing coming from not far away.
Therefore, Pei Ziyun didn't say anything nonsense and immediately escaped into this secret passage with Bandong Yuanzi.
After entering the secret passage, Tsubouchi Eiko immediately fiddled with it a few times at the entrance of the secret passage. Listening to the "click" sound, the old cabinets in the room above had been restored.
At this time, Tsubouchi Eiko breathed a sigh of relief and led Pei Ziyun and Bando Yuanzi deeper into the secret passage and arrived at a room.
"We're here now. There's water, there's medicine, there's food."
"It can provide ten people with a month's life. If nothing else happens, they probably won't be able to find it here!" Tsubouchi Eiko forced a smile: "Miss, the air is still a bit stuffy. I'll open the vents."
There was silence in the room. Pei Ziyun thought for a while and asked Bando Yuanzi, who had been silent, "Bando-san, I have some questions. Can you ask me?"
"Yamada-kun, please tell me."
"It seems that the matter that the Bando family originally asked me to solve was not this. Now something has happened, but can I ask what it was originally?"
Bandō Yuanzi remained silent throughout the whole process. When Pei Ziyun asked, her voice trembled slightly: "Yamada-kun, this matter and the current matter can actually be the same thing."
"Oh, what's going on?" Pei Ziyun was a little confused.
"At dawn tomorrow, I will officially be sixteen!" Bando Yuanzi smiled bitterly: "And today is actually my secret birthday!"
"Um?"
"... Birthday, can it be classified as secret or public?" Pei Ziyun said, suddenly thinking that he had seen a very small cake when he came here, and also thought that the birthday in the information was not on this day, he was puzzled, and continued to ask: " Even so, why didn’t your family come to your birthday?”
It’s understandable that outsiders don’t know, but your family always knows, right
Bando Yuanzi is a member of the Bando family and the granddaughter of Bando Masashi, the current head of the Bando property. Her status is different. No matter how patriarchal she is, her birthday will not be without relatives.
But today, as far as Pei Ziyun saw, except for him, no one else came.
Bandō Yuanzi said nothing and lowered her head for a long time: "Of course there is a reason for this."
"Even in the Bando family, my real birthday is a secret. Only the head of the family and a few people know it. But I didn't want to and even leaked it - Yamada-kun. In fact, as long as I celebrate my birthday, there will be no problem."
"You mean, if you celebrate your birthday, the problem will be solved?"
"Yes, after my birthday, I will be the head of the Bando family, and everything will be different." Bando Yuanzi did not show any joy, and just whispered.
"In that case, I have to go back." After hearing this, Pei Ziyun looked at Bandou Yuanzi who lowered his head for a long time, nodded, and said: "There is a saying in the art of war, if you defend for a long time, you will lose!"
"You don't think you can hide until dawn just by hiding, do you?"
"And in your Bando family, only the head of the family and a few people know that all the secrets have been leaked. In this case, your Bando family will probably have at least one traitor with a high status? Maybe even more."
"In this case, the information about this secret passage is very likely to be known to the enemy, right?" Pei Ziyun asked with a smile.
"If we continue to hide like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to survive until dawn." Pei Ziyun held a wooden knife and looked at the map. The map was not very complicated. He only looked at it intently for a few times, then threw it away, turned around and walked out of the secret passage: "There is only one way. , only by blocking can we buy more time."
At this time, there were fighting sounds such as "Kill", "Die" and "Damn", as well as screams such as "Ah, my arm" and "No, you can't kill me". They could be heard even in the secret passage. .
The fact that these sounds can be heard is related to the material used by the Bando family when building this secret passage. This material used a very special sound-absorbing brick.
With a secret tunnel made of this material, people in the secret tunnel can hear sounds from outside, but people outside cannot hear the voices of people in the secret tunnel.
This was a deliberate arrangement by the Bando family in the secret passage just in case.
Hearing the sound of fighting, Pei Ziyun also knew that the situation outside was urgent, so he no longer hesitated, drew his sword and walked towards the outside of the secret passage.
"Yamada-kun, please wait a moment!" Bando Yuanzi called to Pei Ziyun. She mustered up the courage to come over and became a little shy. Without Pei Ziyun's precautions, she approached Pei Ziyun and kissed him suddenly.
Taking a step back, Bando Yuanzi murmured: "Yamada-kun, please call me Yuanzi. I heard that your name is Shinichi. Can I call you Shinichi?"
"Of course." Pei Ziyun was confused. He also knew that Japanese people have very different names for each other. After thinking about it, he changed his words: "Yuanzi!"
"Hi, Shinichi, I actually envy you."
"I also like your books very much. I can't go out. Your books have brought me long-term comfort." Saying this, Bando Yuanzi suddenly choked up, as if she wanted to say something, but couldn't. , the result finally turned into a deep bow: "Yamada-kun, I wish you a long martial arts career!"
Facing this kiss and these strange words, Pei Ziyun was startled for a moment, thinking that maybe Ban Dongyuanzi was very grateful for his rescue, so he smiled, strode forward, and reached a place. After thinking about it, he opened the secret code. He said, stepping out of the steps.
Behind him, Bandou Yuanzi did not raise his body for a long time.
Tsubouchi Eiko looked at all this with red eyes and whispered: "Miss, haven't you always wanted to see the author of "Who is the Second Man" and "The Ghost that Walks the Night"? You want to have a deep conversation with him and have a meal together."
"Why not keep him now?"
"Your time is running out." At this point, she choked up.
"Hi, he is a samurai, the Bando family is from the Wu family, and I, Yuanzi, am also a woman from the Wu family."
"A man is going to war, how can I stop him?"
"I am satisfied to be able to see you like this, and the cherry blossoms are blooming. God is not kind to me."
Bandou Enzi turned her face and bowed to Nagako Tsubouchi: "Eugeko, it was me who caused you trouble. If it weren't for me, Seiichiro would not have died."
"Miss!" Tsubouchi Eiko covered her face, tears splashing between her fingers.
