Chapter 73: Going Home, Misfortune

Chapter 73: Going Home, Misfortune

"Hey, these samurai are so weak, we knocked them down right away, or are we really not stupid, and it's because our parents are too strong?"

"It's Uncle Ji Xing, not Dad."

"Ah, I forgot again!"

The voices of the two children echoed in his ears, Nozomi Aoki felt that he was having a nightmare.

what's the situation? It's fine if the target is stronger than expected, if you want to kidnap a child, why would you be kicked and sent flying several meters by a child who is less than waist height... Cough cough, it hurts!

"Why did you come to see Shi Posi so early?"

When Ji Xing squatted beside him and asked, he slowly pulled out an ugly flattering smile, showing nothing to hide: "Someone is offering a reward for you, and the reward is a full one hundred taels. I, we found out that you seem to be in Tianzhiguo It has appeared, let's try our luck..."

"Then your luck is really good." Ji Xing said, "Who is looking for me?"

"I-I don't know about this. The news should have come from the Kingdom of the Ring. We only saw your portrait, and..."

"Where is the portrait?"

Aoki Wang pointed to one of the dead bodies on the ground, and Ji Xing walked over to search.

The portrait was quickly found.

No wonder the seven people couldn't be sure when they saw him. They confirmed several times that this portrait was of him when he was a teenager.

To be precise, it was Shi Po Sizao who had just left home and was sixteen and a half years old. The portrait also specifically marked that this was what Shi Po Sizao looked like six and a half years ago!

Ji Xing pondered for a moment, picked up the knife dropped by a wandering warrior, swung it vigorously, and knocked Aoki Nozomi to the ground who took the opportunity to escape.

"Why was Shi Posizao offered a reward?"

The currency of this era has not yet been unified, but gold and silver are hard currencies at any time, and the purchasing power of one hundred taels is already very high. Of course, it is far from the gold content of Asma's head.

And wandering warriors do occasionally take on some murderous jobs to make a living. There is no gold exchange in this era, and the taverns are their bases.

Ji Xing frowned slightly, and the two children ran to his side, Yu Yi asked, "Is Uncle Ji Xing worried about something?"

"Ah." Ji Xing replied: "Before I followed the goddess, that is, your mother, I also had a family and a home. In the past few years, I occasionally pay attention to the situation at home, and it has always been good. There is no plan to go back.

But now... something seems to be wrong. "

"Papa's family?"

"It's Uncle Ji Xing's family."

"Father... wants to leave us?" Hamura ignored Yuyi, worried.

"How could it be?" Ji Xing stretched out his hand and squeezed Yumura's face, and said with a smile, "I can't bear to part with you two and Goddess. It's just that I probably have to ask Goddess for half a month's leave, so I can go back and have a look."

"That's it..." Hamura breathed a sigh of relief, and said excitedly, "Can't you take us there?"

At this moment, a dark passage opened around Ji Xing, and Hui Ye's figure flew out of it, making the two children exclaim in surprise:

"Mom! You're back!"

"Uncle Ji Xing said that there seems to be an accident at his house and he will be away for half a month."

"Let's go together, Mom!"

Five years passed, babies grew into boys, teenagers into youths, but the years did not leave any traces on the immortal Kaguya.

It's just that he has practiced physical skills with Ji Xing for too long, and after rolling and kicking in the dirt, the aloof goddess has a little bit of pyrotechnic aura, giving her a human touch.

She looked at her surroundings, her two wide sleeves were fluttering, and said, "Hold on to my clothes."

The two children were taken aback for a moment, then laughed happily, each of them grabbed Kaguya's sleeve.

"Thank you Goddess." Ji Xing said, grabbing Hui Ye's clothes from behind.

Kaguya took the three of them into the dark passage, protected them with superb chakra control, walked through the passage for a few seconds, and when they left and saw the sun again, they had arrived at the mountain behind the mountain country.

"Go, we'll wait for you here."

"That's Dad's country?" Hamura looked into the distance and said, "Mom, don't we go together?"

"It's Uncle Ji Xing, not Dad!"

Hui Ye didn't answer, Ji Xing thanked him again, looked at the country of mountains, and quickly went down the mountain.

After he walked away, Kaguya said softly: "This desolate and small world is always in endless wars, full of all kinds of conspiracies and battles, it's really tiresome and boring."

...

At this time, it had been six and a half years since Ji Xing left home.

In order to know the situation at home, he and Kaguya and the others have lived in a country two or three hundred kilometers away from the country of mountains at the farthest these years, and they can get to know some of it through some wandering warriors and merchants.

As early as four years ago, when Shi Pogangzhong turned 40 years old, he stepped down from his daimyo position and handed over power to Ji Xing's second brother Shi Posizhi.

The second brother did a good job. He is not only good at fighting and killing like his father. He is also an internal affairs talent. After a few years, the country of mountains has absorbed many refugees, and the size of the country has expanded by more than half.

From more than 300 people to more than 500 people.

A thriving scene.

After Ji Xing came down from the mountain, he also saw a peaceful environment and farmers working in an orderly manner.

Someone noticed him, looked down and plowed the field, and soon looked up suspiciously, exclaimed: "Yes, is it Your Highness Sizao?!"

Ji Xing recalled it for a while, and said with a smile: "Uncle Pingtou, long time no see."

"It's really His Highness Sizao?!"

"His Royal Highness is back!"

Knowing that his cheers continued to the Daming Mansion, the current daimyo Ishiba Miji greeted him with a face full of surprise, and called out: "Sizao!"

"Brother, I'm back."

"Hahaha……"

The two brothers hugged each other heavily, Shi Po Sizhi led Ji Xing to the mansion, and at the same time spit out a series of joyful and complaining words.

"Really, I still know that it's too early to come back. It's been more than six years since I left, and you are taller than my brother."

"Where have you been all these years? Have you encountered any danger? By the way, I heard that a swordsman named Ji Xing appeared a few years ago. The description is very similar to you. Is it you?"

Seeing Ji Xing nodded, he laughed and said, "As expected of you, you were able to defeat your father at the age of 16, and your father said at that time that you would definitely become a swordsman.

But then I heard... this swordsman Ji Xing followed a goddess? There are too many rumors about a goddess, who fell from the sky, and it sounds absurd.

Are you... married? The wife is called a goddess? It must be extremely beautiful, I don’t know how to bring my wife back and let my father and I have a look! "

Ji Xing just smiled, followed him into the main hall of Daming Mansion, and asked, "Where's father?"

Shi Posizhi shook his head: "What a coincidence, my father has gone out. Recently, a prince from the Kingdom of the Ring wanted to marry Fei Hua, and my father was worried, so he wanted to go and see for himself, and that girl Fei Hua followed secretly. It's not reassuring."

How old is Crimson Flower... oh, 13 years old.

In this era, it is normal for girls to get married at the age of thirteen or fourteen. After all, the average life expectancy of a person is less than 30 years old. Ji Xing has no intention of changing this rule, but at least his younger sister...

It's better to live carefree at home until the age of 16 or 18, right?

But... the Kingdom of the Ring?

Frowning lightly, Ji Xing didn't say anything, and asked again: "What about the second sister-in-law?"

Shi Po Sizhi led him to sit down, and said with a bigger smile, "You mean Mizi? She just gave birth to a son for me, and she is still recuperating quietly. By the way, do you have any children, Sizao? Second brother has both children now." , the eldest daughter is almost four years old."

As he said that, he said with a guilty conscience: "However...Mizi has had some conflicts with me recently, you can understand, Sizao, I am now a daimyo of the mountain country, and it is normal to have two concubines , I am not like my father...

Hehe, she will be very happy when she hears that you are back, can you persuade her for me? "

"I can't control that." Ji Xing said with a smile.

Shi Posizhi laughed loudly, and after a while, he stretched out his hand to summon a servant, and said, "Go and inform Mizi, just say... let's say that the sword hero Ji Xing is back, haha. Then bring Yuori over and tell her about her sword Uncle Hao is back!"

"Is it broken by the stone?" Ji Xing asked.

"Ah, the boy's name is Ishihaha Takashi." Ishiba Miji replied.

"What a coincidence, they are all feathers."

"What?" Shi Posizhi was taken aback, his attention seemed to be attracted by the knife on Ji Xing's waist again: "Isn't this the samurai sword you took with you when you left home?"

"That knife was broken a long time ago. I made it at a swordsmith in a big country." Ji Xing said.

"Well, come on, let me see Jianhao's sword." Shi Posizhi stretched out his hand, and Ji Xing handed the sword.

Clang—the sharp knife is out of its sheath!

Shi Posizhi caressed the blade lightly, and said with emotion: "A good sword, a good sword..."

The happy mood slowly changed, and Shi Posizhi showed a trace of sadness on his face. After playing for half a minute, he put the knife back into its sheath, but instead of returning it to Ji Xing, he threw it to the servants.

The servant took the knife, stepped back a few steps, and stared at Ji Xing with a vigilant look.

Ji Xing was silent for a moment, and sighed: "As early as the first time I saw you, I found that your expression was a little unnatural, but I only regarded it as unfamiliar after being separated for too long. Even now, I don't want to believe it. The one who offered me a reward turned out to be you, brother..."
