Pillars of the Wu family

When Kirayoshi, who had just returned to the castle tower, looked upright and proud, he suddenly heard a girl's voice from behind: "I want to be His Highness's concubine too!"

This voice startled Kira Yoshitoki, and when he turned around, he saw Mochizuki Chiyo was kneeling and sitting behind him obediently, her big eyes blinking, as if to say: "You just promise Already!"

Kira Yoshishi was surprised and gasped: "What are you talking about?"

"Chiyo-noe will also be His Highness's concubine!" Mochizuki Chiyo-noe replied seriously.

"But how did you know?" Kira Yoshitoki said angrily, as if someone had discovered the secret thoughts in his heart, "...Okay! You must be eavesdropping on the corner again?"

"Because Chiyo-no is His Highness's personal ninja, Chiyo-no knows what His Highness does!" Mochizuki-Chiyo-no opened her eyes wide, with two shofar braids dangling back and forth, making his eyes dizzy.

"Didn't I say you can't get too close to me? Wait, you said everything just now?" Yoshiki Kira repeated as calmly as possible.

Mochizuki Chiyo shook her braids and said as it should: "Yes! All of them! Your Highness likes to sleep naked and Chiyo knows it too!"

"Bastard! Don't be so loud! Don't tell about sleeping naked!" Yoshitomo Kira hurriedly covered the little girl's mouth, and then said with lingering fear: "Even Koshiro doesn't know about this, how did you know?" It's... well, forget it, remember not to spy on my penis in the future, understand?"

"But didn't Your Highness let Chiyyo be a personal ninja?" Mochizuki Chiyo asked suspiciously.

Yoshitoki Kira explained embarrassingly: "Ahem... the words of the personal ninja don't mean to let you stare at me and sleep naked."

"What does that mean?" Mochizuki Chiyo asked with a confused face.

"...Don't pay too much attention to the details! You will understand after I tell you!" Kira Yoshihito waved a folding fan to end Mochizuki Chiyo's questioning, and said, "That's right! What did you just say? Be mine Side room? Why do you have such an idea?"

"Because Chiyo was meant to be His Highness's concubine!" Mochizuki Chiyo said very firmly.

"...What kind of logic is this?" Ji Liangyi was shocked again.Can it be said that I am lucky?

"Because the fate of female ninjas is to be the lord's concubine or something. Although Chiyoko doesn't understand very well, but that's what my father told Chiyoko!" Mochizuki Chiyoko replied confidently.

"Na... Nani? Has your father met you? When did it happen?" Ji Liangyi felt that his brain was not enough.

"Just before Chiyo-noe talked with His Highness."

"Bastard, why did he come and go without a trace? Why didn't Masaaki Hattori find out? And Koshiro! Where did this big bastard go?" Yoshiki Kira was furious, this is simply an unforgivable sin .

"That mysterious uncle seems to have seen my father! Koshiro is probably still sleeping on the porch now!"

"Sure enough, the world of ninjas is hard to understand!" Yoshitomo Yoshitomo decided to move on: "Okay! Let's not dwell on this issue... Tell me why your father let you be my concubine!"

"Because my lord father said that His Highness is a man of strength, if it wasn't for his official duties, he would definitely follow His Highness himself!"

"But the last time I saw him, he refused me very strongly! It took less than half a year to make a 180-degree turn. Is this kind of unscrupulous behavior really okay?"

Mochizuki Chiyo covered her flushed face and said shyly, "Although I don't understand what His Highness is saying, Chiyo is so happy!"

"Bastard! Don't make an expression that is full of little stars! I won't accept your trick!"

Mochizuki Chiyo held her small head, blinked her big watery eyes, and said with a serious expression: "His Royal Highness likes things that Chiyo can't understand! So Chiyo decided to be His Highness's concubine!"

"Asshole! What do you mean? Didn't you really want to be my concubine just now?"

"What you said just now was an order from my father, but Chiyomi really wants to be His Highness's concubine now! Chiyomi really likes His Highness saying a lot of things that she doesn't understand!" Mochizuki Chiyo looked at him with an adoring expression.

……

With the end of the Battle of Katsuragawa, the prestige of Kira Yoshitoki has further increased, and it has also brought more passenger flow to Sakamoto Castle. Many merchants from afar choose to set up commercial houses here, and merchants in Kinai are more willing to trade here. , Of course, the effect of the recruitment order is better.

In the past month, the number of ronin who came to the Kira House to apply for recruitment has increased several times compared to before, and the security of Sakamoto Castle Town has become more and more stretched.Many ronin picked quarrels here and caused public security lawsuits, so Kira Yoshitoki ordered the horse-riding general Okochi Kunzuna to patrol the castle town every day.He also appointed Ogasawara Yasuji, the son of Hatazu Ogasawara's Settsu Mori family, as the governor of Sakamoto Castle Town, and his younger brother Hatazu Ogasawara's Yasushi Moriya's son, Ogasawara Nobumoto, served as the sidekick of Kira Yoshitoshi because he had not yet entered the uniform.

In the process of selecting ronin, Yoshihiro Kira also discovered many interesting people, such as Nagasaka Nobushige, a concubine of the Hatadome Ogasawara clan who served as the shogunate in Kyoto. Their family originally lived in Mikawa Banto County. The younger generation began to come to Kyoto to serve as the foreign minister of the shogunate.

He was originally a first-class spearman. He followed his father to learn spearmanship everywhere in Kyoto since he was a child. When he was young, he was brave and ruthless and left many hidden wounds, and as he grew older, he relapsed and fell from the first-rate to the second-rate. The life of these years was very uncomfortable, and it also gave him the idea of ​​​​taking his son back to his hometown in Sanhe.

It is said that the reputation of Nagasaka Nobushige is not very good, but he has a son who is quite famous in the Kyoto area. His son is named Nagasaka Kuro Nobumasa, and it is said that he likes to use a gun blade to paint his body with vermilion paint Moreover, this gentleman has challenged back and forth between Jingluo and Jinei since Yuanfu, and he is a brave and ruthless generation.

And because he likes to challenge martial arts.When the opponent should not fight, he will wait for the opportunity to insult and provoke the opponent to force him to take action.So speaking of him, his reputation is not very good.Cai Yuanfu had been nicknamed "Blood Gun Kuro" in two or three years, and he himself was not ashamed, but instead changed his alias to "Nagasaka Blood Gun Kuro".

When Kira Yoshitoshi met with Nagasaka Nobushige, a tall young samurai, seventeen or eighteen years old, was standing in the public area of ​​Sakamoto Castle Town, carrying a large gun with a red blade. Roaring: "I'm going to challenge Takatsuna Watanabe and Tokimashi Takikawa! I, Kuro the Blood Spear, is the strongest! Hahahaha..."

It happened that an old man in his sixties passed by him, and kindly reminded him: "Don't make such a loud noise. Be careful that the people of one heart will arrest you!"

"Oops! Thank you for reminding me, old man!" Nagasaka Nobumasa had already seen a team of Sakamoto concentrics rushing over after hearing the news, and hurriedly ran away with his blood gun on his shoulders. Of course, he couldn't escape.

"So, you were caught in the end?" Ji Liangyi smiled and watched a group of samurai guarding Nagasaka Nobumasa. He had never heard of Nagasaka Nobumasa, but the blood gun Kuro was indeed famous. Let's take a look Nagasaka Nobushige stood there in embarrassment, at a loss, so he smiled and ordered: "Untie him, and call Kotsuna over!"

"Yes!" Sakamoto and his colleagues glared at Nagasaka Nobumasa unwillingly, and left angrily.

But after a while, Watanabe Takatsuna hurried over.Seeing a young man standing on Erwan's teaching ground, he passed by him without paying much attention.Walking up to the small castle guard, he respectfully said, "Watanabe Takatsuna has met the owner of the museum!"

"You are Watanabe Takatsuna? I, Blood Gun Kuro, want to ask you for advice!" Nagasaka Nobumasa couldn't help shouting when he heard that this person was Watanabe Takatsuna.

"Gao Gang, have you seen that kid?" Yoshihiro Kira smiled and said, "My family is very optimistic about his talent, so I will teach him a lesson, and I will leave the rest to you."

"Yes!" Watanabe Takatsuna took a sickle spear and stood in the field, looking at Nagasaka Nobumasa who was eager to try, and said, "A real gun trial?"

"Yeah!" Nagasaka Nobumasa started to attack without saying a word. He looked a little stunned, and he really seemed like a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers. The young and strong overthrew Watanabe Takatsuna in one fell swoop, but he was still a little tender, and he was too excited to show his full strength.

At this time, Watanabe Takatsuna was at the peak of his integrity, physical strength and skills. He was already famous in Kinki when he was just 30 years old. Shen Sweep wasn't nervous at all, and after a few reckless moves, he wanted to get his opening shot down.

"I lost! You're still the best! As expected of Gun Hanzo! I've been defeated by the blood gun Kuro!" Although Nagasaka Nobumasa was a little stunned, he was far from the mess he imagined. Said: "But I will not be reconciled! Ten years later, I will definitely beat you!"

Kotsuna Watanabe didn't care much about his threats. Ten years later, his son would also be an adult, and Yoshitomi Kira had promised him to train his son as a family servant on behalf of the genealogy. In terms of talent, he is even stronger than he was back then, and ten years later, it will be the work of his son Gengoro Watanabe.

"Bastard boy! Don't hurry up and thank the owner!" Nagasaka Nobushige is a middle-aged samurai who is over [-] years old. He doesn't seem to have anything special, but he still has a bit of a problem with his son who likes to mess around. August.

"Yes! Thank you, Master, for your kindness!" Nagasaka Nobumasa bowed to thank him honestly.

After this episode, Nagasaka Nobushige and Shinmasa father and son became officials in the Kira family. His father served as an ashigaru general and concurrently served as the instructor of Mikawa's spearmanship, with an annual salary of 150 kanwen. Shi Guanwen, also because he valued his strong understanding of spear skills, it is too wasteful to be the head of an ashigaru samurai.

This kid is very happy to be able to fight on horseback, but he has a bad face before he is happy. The red cavalry of the Kira family has extremely strict requirements. The red-backed samurai teased him with a disheveled face. After knowing his weakness in riding skills, he also worked hard to practice riding skills. (To be continued..)
