Princes Battle to Concede the Throne

(self-proclaimed) Fifth Crown Prince/Yue Tian Wan

Fortunately, the modus operandi of the Moon Heavenly Maru was truly remarkable.

First, he shoots a notice with an arrow into a bad merchant or gold-lending mansion. And stick the same text all over the walls and walls of the city.

And in front of the massive wild horses that gathered together, they plundered the property of the scoundrels.

"I see. I guess I use wild horses rather than just fancy them"

It was the dirt walls of a lonely long house that had the latest notice affixed to it. It's a corner of the ghetto that doesn't usually seem popular, but now a ton of wild horses are pushing to see the actual teaser. That's enough to make a little noise.

It would be the aim of the Moon Heavenly Maru to make this noise even in the actual scene.

If we gather a large number of wild horses around the merchant house, we have to disperse the security because we don't know where the moon heavenly circle is lost.

Even when you run further away, you can quickly disappear into the crowd.

He seems bold and invincible, and he actually looks like a ready thief.

The character can also be seen from the hand-made mark on the notice in front of him. It would be the intention to prevent copycats and pranks.

And here's the key sentence.

"Rat Day of the Crescent Moon (Nena Hi). Four eight tsujitsu. Purify the wealth of spicy opium (opium) sales'

New Moon Rat Day is today. A four-eight tsuji indicates a compartment in Andu. And at the end, the target.

I think it's a good hand not to make a nomination. If we tighten our security now, it will be the same if we confess that we are selling opium ourselves.

Nevertheless, when it comes to self-defense just in case, that's it.

Perhaps the opium sellers and the others stand around doing well with evidence cover-ups and bribes to avoid being picked up by officials. It is the Moon Heavenly Maru who will judge evil beyond the reach of such a legitimate official.

"Even so, there's also an improvement effort in the management attitude on the part of officials. It's too harsh to rely on a thief."

At dawn, when Moon Tianmaru became the successor to the Emperor, I would love to have the area reformed with my own hands. I expect a lot.

I gently turn my back on the notice and take my feet toward the four and eight tsunamis. Stiffen a certain determination to your chest.

That determination is - to secure the figure of the Moon Heavenly Maru tonight.

――――――――――――――――……

Tsuji at night was enthusiastic.

The wild horses are filling in a narrow area, and a large number of lanterns are placed on the surrounding dirt walls to illuminate the road throughout the day.

I procured a thief's black outfit, and I climbed a tree standing a little further from Tsuji and looked down at it.

"That mansion?"

"We are the opium seller," he quickly found the mansion consolidating a rugged security. Unlike the crude dirt walls of the houses around them, only there boasts lacquered bright white walls. Furthermore, a caution stick employed at equal intervals is arranged in front of the fence.

The exterior walls of houses and holdings that stand on the property are stone constructed to make them sturdy. Is the aim, after all, the most solidified and deepest collection of security? But there's this weird air over there.

When I thought so.

(19) Of the line lights placed on the dirt walls around the area, several of the sections disappeared at the same time.

There are also pine lights on the lacquered walls of the mansion. It didn't mean it was going to be dark, but the brilliant brightness just settled into the darkness of the night.

But a momentary gap where brightness was lost. In the moment when the eyes of the caution stick and the wild horses switched, someone jumped across the lacquered walls without sound.

"That's a pretty good move. The Emperor's son could be more than enough."

Chest expectations swell in Moon Heavenly Maru, who showed up. I will gladly jump from the tree and run to the mansion to pass on the roof and walls of the private house.

Find the Moon Heavenly Maru. Often later it belongs to this one.

This one is masked and only the face is hidden. I don't care if I find it on the guard stick. Run into the mansion at first sight, and take the moon heavenly circle and tongzula.

No matter how many you have, you can't stop me from going up the chimp in Ichii.

"Wait, brother...!

I will definitely make you emperor.

So I approached the mansion from the shadows, trying to jump over the walls, and realized that the noise was getting even louder.

I thought you found out about the Moon Heavenly Maru intrusion, but it wasn't.

From the grounds of the mansion was a giant hand of fire that licked the heavens at night.

"... No way!

I ran away without hesitation. Watch out for the dubious masked men (me), but that doesn't even make them enemies. Before the swords of the caution sticks arrive, I jump high and get over the lacquered walls easily.

The sights in the mansion overlooked from there were disastrous.

All of the about twenty caution sticks that would have been on the premises have been stunned. This is probably at the hands of the Moon Heavenly Maru. But the one in the back they were trying to protect most severely.

The original source of the firehand, seen from the outside, was its collection.

Half-burnless with stone construction, the collection is spraying fire as if it were wrapped in oil.

"Is it the work of the Moon Heavenly Maru...? No."

If you burn every fortune, you will not reap the harvest as a thief. And an opium merchant's stash. Accidental arson and the like may cause opium smoke to spread around the area.

"Hey, get up."

"Mm-hmm...?

At times like this, interrogation is limited. Wake him up by tapping the cheek of the caution stick he was rolling over there, waking up and pointing at the zo.

I dare to unmask myself,

"I'm here to reinforce security. Where's Moon Tianmaru?

"Come on, reinforce...? Oh, well, that helped. Yes, I do. That son of a bitch, he's strong enough to look stupid..."

"Feelings good. Where's Moon Tianmaru? Besides, what happened to that Zao flame?

Showing Zuo with his fingers, the man with the caution stick laughed disgustingly.

"Oh. Oh, my God, you once did well. Then we don't need backup."

"Did it work?

"Ouch. That's a familiarity trap. So you set that collection up as a rat trap with real property. I never would have thought the Moon Heavenly Maru bastard would be burned with a real treasure every fire. Zaa-"

Before I finished listening, I threw away my caution stick.

Oh, my God. I didn't know Moon Tianmaru was in such a predicament while I was doing it with Chintara.

Running, he plunders the machete of the chimp that was rolling there.

In front of you is the door of a cage made of iron. It is so tightly closed that it deserves to be a rat trap, and normally there is no way to open it by itself.

If you're a normal person.

"I'm here to help! Don't die, Moon Tianmaru!

The unusual - this mighty sword of mine flashed, the most gifted of the emperor's sons.

The fat muscle rips the iron door as smoothly as if it had been slashed even in water, forcing the entrance to the vault to open.

"Hey! Are you alive!? If he's alive, he'll get away with it!

As I walked in screaming, there was a shadow of a black outfit that was still falling on the floor that was about to be covered in flames in a fire-handed treasure.

"Shit!"

Run over and take charge immediately. When I got out of the zoo, real reinforcements were coming, but not if I was dealing with them.

He leaves the scene as soon as he is in charge of the Moon Heavenly Maru, jumps over the lacquered fence and escapes outside.

Fortunately, the wild horses were confused by the noise with their firehands up, and it was easy to get away with sewing that gap.

Escaped to an abandoned garden a little further away, I put Moon Heavenly Maru to sleep on the ground.

He seems to have breath because his chest is up and down, but he still remains unconscious.

"I'm sorry, but I'm gonna mask it. I'm sure it'll get in the way of breathing."

I say a single apology even though I'm unconscious, and then I peel off the black cloth that was covering Moon Heavenly Maru's face.

Well, do we look a little like our brothers?

But the face that was there was unexpected.

"... woman?

Sleeping under the mask was the face of a still unusual girl shaking her editorial hair on her cheeks. Is it something like thirteen or fourteen? I'm only sixteen, too, but there's a big difference in years in this age.

"It's not very helpful because you must be hungry, but at least you don't look like your sister..."

Erzhu feels like a colorful beauty. Meanwhile, this Moon Heavenly Maru has a thick youthful hair even considering the difference in age. Should it be more about childish cuteness than beauty? If you look closely, your back length is also quite low.

No, don't doubt it. Surely this is the concealer of the emperor. Otherwise I'll be in trouble.

Fortunately, touching the pulse doesn't seem like anything else to life.

Waiting a long time to wake naturally, the moon heavenly circle rang its throat as the night sky faded and began to slightly blue.

"Ugh, uhh...?

"Oh, you've noticed!

When I called, Moon Heavenly Maru opened his eyes at once.

He quickly rises up and jumps away from me, staring at this one and turning his alert gaze towards this one as he looks at the wild beast.

"Who are you!

Grabbing the knife pulled from the waist of his outfit backwards, Moon Heavenly Maru asks me. Conversely, I introduce myself cheerfully with my face broken in relief.

"It's your brother. Hey, that's a good prestige. I'm relieved. You could be a good empress."

"... what?... what?

Is the consciousness still blurred? Moon Heavenly Maru repeated the same grunt over and over with her mouth half-opened.
