While in other places, kikiyo and Yamato were still riding their horses, kikiyo felt that something bad was going to happen this time and with all her energy wanted to prevent it.
Elsewhere in a temple in the capital city, the two temples saw something from inside their minds while sitting in the lotus .
"It turns out, he has the ability as I apparently do,Hem, very good, so that ability can bring the welfare of the people of this central empire." Said the temple elder with a small smile
The day has changed kikiyo and Yamato has reached the border between the southern empire with the eastern empire, because in the eastern empire there is a plague that is spreading.
Everyone who wanted to go out and enter the eastern empire had to pass some checks first, kikiyo could not unravel the identity of her husband so she entered using her own identity.
After kikiyo showed the plaque of her name, the guards immediately lowered their heads in respect.
"Greetings noble empress of the middle empire, I've been very disrespectful, please forgive me."
"It's been a chore, so it doesn't matter if I'm through, I'm alone with my bodyguards."
"But your majesty, take the time to meet our general,."
"What did I meet him for?."
"It's because of the plague that's going on, your majesty, to my knowledge the Eastern Emperor sent someone to meet you at the middle imperial palace to ask for help."
"Ah, alright, where is your general now?."
"He was in the tower, your majesty" said the deputy general, pointing to a tall building.
Kikiyo and Yamato looked at the building,
"My wife, this is very troublesome, we came here with another purpose, not to help them, I do not agree." Yamato said as he approached kikiyo and whispered
"How about we see my husband first, I'm really curious about what's going on in this eastern empire."
"My dear, can we not interfere in the affairs of other empires." Yamato said as he clasped kikiyo's hand from behind
"Yes, my dear, my husband, I just want to know, calm down okay."
Yamato immediately calmed his own heart, he was very happy when he heard the words from his wife's mouth.
The deputy general immediately took Kikiyo and Yamato to go to the high tower, to meet the general.
After they got there, it turned out that the general was drinking wine while accompanied by two beautiful women with clothes lacking materials.
The deputy general was surprised by the sight, he became embarrassed when he wanted to tell kikiyo.
"Ah, we better wait, the general seems to be busy."
When he heard the words from the mouth of the vice general, the face of Kikiyo immediately darkened.
"Who do you think I am?,."
Before the vice general said anything, Yamato had already directly invited kikiyo away, kikiyo was also fed up when he saw the sight, how can a general enjoy his pleasure while many people are affected by the plague.
The general is like this, what else is the emperor.think kikiyo.
Yamato helped his wife to climb onto her horse, and the two of them continued their journey, taking the time to send Hugo a message eagle if he and the emperor had crossed the border.
Elsewhere Hugo, Torah and Hima were still watching the old woman in a shop in a village, not long ago the old woman mounted her horse and went to a mountain near the village.
When they were in the forest, they lost track of the old woman.
"Ais, where did he go" Tora said
"Yes, hurry up" said Hima
Hugo was still on guard,
"Are you looking for me?."
The three of them immediately looked at the voice with shocked facial expressions, and then the old woman immediately scattered the poisonous powder around them.
Hugo immediately warned Tora as well as Hima, the three of them instantly covered their mouths and noses .
The old woman immediately smiled.
"It turns out that the subordinates of the great moon Goddess as well, can instantly dodge my attacks."
Hugo just stared with his flat face, it was true that the mistress thought that this old woman was not a random person.
While elsewhere kikiyo felt that something bad would happen, still riding his horse.
"Suami, can you call Muso here."
"I ordered Hugo to follow me from afar, so it's very likely that Muso is in a neighborhood near Hugo right now."
"Okay, I hope we're not late
Now in place of Hugo , Tora and hima they began to fight with nyai because when Hugo asked about the spreader of rumors in the middle empire, he did not want to talk and instead attacked Hugo first.
Nyai thought that Hugo would be a hindrance to kikiyo in seizing all the imperial power that exists in this world, besides Yamato he hated all obstacles for his grandson.
Hima and Tora began to fall, only Hugo was left standing there while giving some medicine to resist the poison from the old woman's attack.
"Oh, you are great as well huh, can continue to dodge my every attack, it seems like you have learned a lot from the Moon Goddess."
Hugo was still silent, but Hugo's silence made the old woman angry,
"Why don't you answer my words?."
"That's not important."
"Debah, a proud young man like you must indeed die."
From afar Muso saw the eagle messenger belonging to kikiyo, he immediately caught it, and sent a reply back, now Muso is also ready to help Hugo.
Hugo who felt the arrival of others could only shout, Hugo already felt the familiar aura of Muso.
"Muso, please take Tora and Hima to a safe place" he shouted
"No, leaders don't let us split, we all have to work together." Tora tries to wake up
Muso immediately walked up to Hugo while whispering, Hugo just nodded his head.
"Well, be careful Muso, she's no ordinary old lady,."
"Yes, I already know." said Muso as he drew his sword
Hugo and Muso join forces to subjugate the old woman, but they also do not want to give up, she is a very famous herb queen but ever since she fell in love with the previous Northern emperor and was betrayed,he became very vengeful and swore that he would seize all the imperial power in this world.
Nyai has very good stamina, but at his age now it is impossible if you do not see it directly.
Hugo and Muso began to weaken, but Hugo was still able to cover up his weakness, fighting no matter what else his life using poison as a shield, so that Hugo and muso could not approach him any closer.
I had to hold on to stalling for madame kikiyo, thought Hugo
Hugo is back, though, and,,,
