Pillars of the Wu family

A girl in a white robe galloped by on a strong Kiso horse. He didn't see the girl's appearance clearly, but the faint fragrance when she passed by caught his attention. He who dared to show off in Kyoto like this I've never seen it before, especially when she's dressed in white water, but it's very conspicuous.

The girl's rampage across the street immediately aroused the discussion of the townspeople. In Kyoto, there are very few such arrogant samurai rushing straight into the street. When Kira Yoshitoshi seemed to hear someone chanting words like "countryman".

"Keijiro, follow the warrior Ji in front!" The white-robed girl made such a big commotion, of course, it also attracted the attention of Yoshitoki Kira, who gave a low shout and chased after him on his mount.

"What warrior Hime? Where is it? Why didn't I see it?" Takikawa Tokimashi was distracted as he rode on his horse, thinking about something. He heard Kira Yoshishi's shout and looked around, "Zaku! You saw Warrior Hime." No? Why didn't I find any warrior Ji?"

Shima Tokatsu was pondering over his spear skills, and when he heard Keiji's question, he looked at him with some doubts: "What? Were you talking to me just now?"

"Warrior Ji! It must be the boy in front!" Yamaoka Tokichang suddenly let out a startling remark, startling Keijiro, and exclaimed, "You said that guy in white is a woman?"

"Stupid Keijiro! Of course it's a woman! Didn't the owner say that?" Yamaoka Tokiaga showed an unteachable expression for the stupidity shown by the similarly named Takigawa Tokatsuki.

"Forget it, you still don't understand!" Yamaoka Tokicho stroked the furry beard on his lips, showing an inscrutable expression: "My lord must have taken a fancy to that warrior Hime in front! Believe me! This is Zenjiro's. Beast instinct!"

"Yes! Why do I feel that it is not reassuring!" Takikawa Tokatsu felt that his head was not enough, and wanted to ask Shima Tokatsu for advice.But it looks like he hasn't recovered yet.Can only helplessly follow the past.

Kira Yoshitoki's mount is also a purebred Kiso horse.Even better than the mount of that warrior Ji, it only took a short while to overtake her at the end of the street ahead and stop her.

"Clang!" A dazzling white light flashed, the shining samurai sword had been unsheathed, and the katana at the waist of the Ji samurai was on Kira Yoshitoki's neck in the blink of an eye.

"Which family are you a spy? Why are you following me? Say it!" The voice was clear and bright like the tinkling of a mountain spring, and the pretty little face the size of a slap was full of murderous intent. Deterrent.

There were relatively few pedestrians at the end of the street, so they didn't disturb many people by making such a big commotion.

"I'm not……"

"You must be a spy! The one who looks at you must be a spy sent by Echigo Uesugi's family! Tell me! Who sent you? Ueda's Nagao Zhengjing or Yang Beizhong? Why are you following me!" Listen carefully It seems to be a dialect of Dongguo accent.The voice is a little immature, and it doesn't look very old.

"Hmm! Don't put a knife on my neck, it's dangerous! I'm not a spy of some Ueda Nagao family... Wait! You mean the Nagao family of Echigo Kingdom?"

The warrior Ji put away his weapon, held his chin and thought for a long time, and said, "Huh! You look so stupid that you don't look like a member of the Uesugi family... Could it be that you are a spy sent by the Takeda family? It must be so! "

"My lord! My lord! You're fine!" Yamaoka Shichang originally followed in a leisurely manner, but when he saw the situation in front of him taking a turn for the worse, he rushed over immediately, yelling.

"What? The owner! Could it be Takeda Harunobu! Don't come here!" Amidst Kira Yoshitoki's wry laugh, the girl in white drew out the sword again and put it on his neck, with a more fierce look on her face than before.

"Let go of the master! I, Keijiro Takigawa, challenge you!"

"And me! Shimazukon challenges you!" The two rushed over with fierce faces.Although he didn't bring a large body gun with a bow and arrow, a Taidao can also make do with it.

"Idiot! That's Takeshi Ji. What are you challenging for!" Yamaoka Zenjiro quickly blocked these two guys. For people with only muscles, they always like to use their fists to solve problems. This is not a good way, especially in Kira It is even a bad choice when Yishi is held hostage.

"When my name was Kira Yoshishi, the family governor of the Mikawa Kira family was not Takeda Harunobu, the middle-aged man of the Takeda family. Don't you see my family crest printed on my clothes?"

"The Kira family? I seem to have heard of Ashikaga Erinliang? Could it be a disciple of His Highness Gongfang? It's too bad!" The warrior Ji came to his senses, put his sword back into its sheath, raised his whip, and lashed his mount like a It rushed out like a sharp arrow, and disappeared after a while.

Seeing the figure leaving quickly, Zenjiro jumped off his horse and ran over, insisting on helping Yoshitomo Kira down to check him, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with him, he let out a sigh of relief: "Thank God, the owner of the museum is safe and sound! It’s really God’s blessing!”

Ji Liangyishi frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "Xiao Shiro! Find out the identity of that Ji samurai for me! The samurai of the Eastern Kingdom are related to Echigo. You must find out for me as soon as possible, understand?"

"Yes! Lord Master!" Hattori Koshiro, who had never had any sense of existence, appeared out of nowhere, and then disappeared at the end of the street.

Mochizuki Chiyo came out from the crowd and said out of breath, "I want to go too!"

"Stay here, you can't go anywhere!" Yoshiki Kira looked at the idiot Lori with a straight face, and after a while he wondered, "How did you chase me?"

"He came here!" Mochizuki Chiyo, with a few drops of sweat on her flushed face, panted slightly and tried to adjust her breathing.

"Hey! Get on the horse! I'll take you back!" Yoshitoki pulled Mochizuki Chiyo up and let her sit in front of him.

"My lord, I am familiar with this part of Kyoto, so let Keijiro chase her back!" Takigawa Tokimashi looked eager to try.

"No need! I probably know who she is, let's go back! Go back and wait for news from Koshiro!" Yoshiki Yoshihiro waved his whip lightly and rode away.

Seeing Kirayoshi, he turned and left. Tokimasa Takikawa asked Yamaoka Shichang with some doubts: "Why didn't the master let me chase that woman? She just pointed the sword at the master just now!"

"Idiot! The owner of the museum has taken a fancy to that warrior Ji! I don't even understand it!" Yamaoka Tokiaga left him without saying a word.

"How do you know that the owner of the museum is interested in that warrior Hime!" Takikawa Tokatsu was a minor after all.I can't figure out why this is so.In desperation, he turned to Tokatsu Shima for help.But Shima Tokatsu had nothing to help him, the two of them were about the same age and could only shrug their shoulders to express their ignorance.

"Why do I feel that I don't look like a strange person at all, Nobunaga-sama, I feel that I can't inherit your career as a strange person!" Keijiro hung his head listlessly and left slowly with the team.

For the next few days, Yoshitoki Kira was always in awe of the stunning beauty of the girl in white, the riding Valkyrie Valkyrie?A heroic Sailor Moon?Anyway, it is completely different from Numata Sandalwood's weak beauty, Numata Sandalwood's beauty makes him can't help loving, this girl makes him feel admiration from the bottom of his heart.He admitted that he was like meeting a magnet and was deeply attracted.

"Speaking of it, I don't know why he wasn't nervous at all when the girl in white put a knife on his neck. He didn't think she would chop it off. What kind of logic is this? Is it the feeling of being in love? In short, Ji Liangyi At that time, I returned to my residence in Kyoto with anxiety in mind." Kira Yoshitoki also felt spring unknowingly.

After investigation, it was found that there is no such No. [-] samurai daughter in Kyoto, so the question arises, if it is not Kyoto, then where is it?Judging from her accent, it is obvious that she is from the Eastern Kingdom, and she also mentioned Takeda Harunobu, who used to protect the Echigo Uesugi clan. Yoshiki Kira seriously doubted whether this could be a certain princess of the Nagao family.

But this is incredible.Will the Nagao family have a princess?It seems that there is such a Princess Aya, but this princess is Nagao Jinghu's older sister.And as early as a very young age, she was married to Nagao Masaki of Ueda Nagao's family. Later, she was also the mother of Uesugi Jingkatsu, known as the Silent General. How can there be any other princesses in the Nagao family?And he is not very old, he looks younger than him, which is not logical.

When he was confused about this matter, the envoy of the Nagao family posted a post stating that his lord hoped to meet Kira Yoshishi, and Kira Yoshishi took the greeting card and pondered for a moment, then ordered: "Make arrangements, I want to meet with Nagao We will meet in the main hall of the tail bomb."

On the early morning of October [-]th, the weather was getting cooler in the late autumn, and the townspeople on the streets of Kyoto were busy with the new day's affairs. Kira Yoshitoki entered Daitokuji Temple with a dozen followers, Nagao Jinghu and others. Days have been living here.

Nagao Jinghu was dressed in a monk's robe, and the nine-point ring scar on his head was blinking. Ji Liangyi said curiously: "Have you been ordained at the main temple?"

"A few days ago, I stayed at Daitoku Temple in Kyoto. The Nine Masters of Chexiu Zong personally explained the magic method of Zen to me. The Puying Daman Guoshi personally shaved and ordained me. The Dharma is called Zongxin. From now on, I will be Nagao Zongxin." Nagao Jinghu nodded and said.

"Please sit down!" The Zhike monk came up to buy refreshments, and Nagao Jinghu suddenly waved his hands away and pushed away the tea, dissatisfied: "The tea is weak and bitter, I still love wine, take my sake!"

"...This..." Zhike monk hesitated for a moment, when an old voice came from outside the door: "Go! Bring sake for Nagao Tangoe!"

"Yes!" The Zhike monk hurriedly withdrew when he saw it. The person who came was the former abbot of Dade Temple, Chexiu Zongjiu. This old Zen master was 73 years old and deeply believed in by the current emperor. Daman Guoshi, although this old Zen master is dry and thin, he has two long white eyebrows hanging down, and there is a gleam of wisdom in his cloudy eyes.

When he saw Kira Yoshi, he put his palms together and said, "So it was Kira Tanyue who came to visit our temple! It's an honor for the old monk!"

"I was a samurai in Yishi, and I bothered the national teacher to come here in person. I really dare not be the national teacher!" Ji Liangyi hurriedly said humbly.

"The old monk will not bother the two Tanyues!" Chexiu Zongjiu made a palm sign with a smile, turned and left.

"I have already obtained from the imperial court the decree to rule against the private enemy, and today I have given you the heavenly cup and the imperial sword, allowing me to attack disobedient people!" Nagao Jinghu silently pinched his rosary, and said to Kira Yoshihime: "I Zong Xin, I also want to thank Wu Weidian for pointing out the maze!"

The Tang of Zuobing Weidu was named General Wuwei, who had been the position of the Owari Ashikaga family Shiposhi before, and now it has also fallen into the hands of his Kamiso Ashikaga family. This subtle official position also hints at Ashikaga Yoshito's plan.Every time he was called to Wuwei Hall, he was still not used to it.The former Wuwei family has not yet perished.Shiba Yoshitomo, the current governor of the Shiba family, is just one of the five lower governors. A few years ago, the Zuobing Weizuo was taken away by Kira Yoshitoki, and he is still living a puppet life in Cheongju.

"Dan Shoden's words are right! What I did in Yoshitoki was also to help the great cause of the shogunate, and Echigo Antai will also help the shogunate's governance strategy."

"The prestige of the Palace of Martial Guards is well-known throughout the country. I am very impressed by the shogunate's undefeated forces!" Nagao Jinghu greeted him for a while, and suddenly pointed to the small bridge outside the window and the faint forest and cypresses in the distance. .Said: "This place is quiet and quiet, which suits my Linji Zen intention. My Zongxin really intends to live here for the rest of my life to practice meditation and practice Buddhism."

Nagao Jinghu's words contained the meaning of integral loneliness and regret. He frowned when he heard Kirayoshi, and then said with a smile: "I am a samurai living between heaven and earth, and I have the expectations of thousands of people. Protect the homeland, the main hall is in its heyday, isn't it too early to talk about birth?"

Nagao Jinghu stared at the planting scene in Dade Temple a little bit in a daze, and heard the comforting meaning in Kira Yoshishi's words.He smiled again and said, "Well, it's just a momentary sigh..."

"Brother! What do you think I bought?" At this moment, the door was pushed open.A girl in white rushed in, holding a few emerald green hairpins in her hand, and was stunned when she looked up and saw a strange boy.

"It's you?" The two said in unison, the only difference was that the girl in white was a little panicked, while Yoshitoki Kira was surprised.

"What? Wuweidian knows Shemei?" Changwei Jinghu looked very surprised, and then saw the innocent-looking Zhike monk follow in with a jug, put it down in a hurry and fled like burning his butt, and said helplessly: "This is My younger sister, Long Tail Hu Ji."

"Sister Nagao? Is the daughter of Duke Jing?" Ji Liangyi suddenly became dizzy. After two days of thinking about gains and losses, he didn't expect that Nagao Jinghu had a younger sister. Ji Liangyi's letter instantly became messy: "When Changwei Jinghu has a younger sister? Hasn't Changwei Jinghu died long ago?"

"That's right! My father has been living in seclusion in Chunri Mountain City since he resigned from the position of family governor in the fifth year of Tianwen. Not long after his sister was born, he died of typhoid fever and exhaustion." Changwei Jinghu sighed: " A few days after my late father passed away, Kuroda Hidetada rebelled and killed my brother Nagao Keiyasu. In order to cope with the rebellion of the Echigo people, my sister married into the Ueda Nagao family, and my mother took the little tiger girl to shave her hair and become a nun. It's been a tough day!"

It turns out that Changwei Weijing didn't die in the fifth year of Tianwen, but lived until the end of December in the 11th year of Tianwen before he died of a sudden illness at the age of 55. That is to say, this girl named Changwei Huji in white was younger than her. Kira Yoshishi was more than half a year younger. He was only ten years old at the beginning of this year, and his false age was only 11 years old.

"When will the little loli's development be so good?" Ji Liangyi looked at the little loli in white with questioning eyes. She is tall, with big eyes, white as snow satin without makeup, and a small nose. Frowning slightly, two cute little canine teeth were exposed in Cherry's small mouth.

"You're welcome to stare at me indiscriminately again!" Little Lolita bared her canine teeth and stared at him in a very scary manner.

"Oh! I see, I don't want to look at it again!" Kira Yoshishi replied subconsciously, almost causing Nagao Jinghu to spit out the wine, Nagao Huji even raised her slender hand in embarrassment, and pointed at it. Kira Yoshitoki scolded angrily: "You really are a bastard! It was a mistake not to beat you up last time!"

Changwei Jinghu scolded in a low voice: "Hu Ji, what are you talking about! Apologize to Wuwei Palace!"

"Don't... don't use it! It's my fault first, it's my fault first! Hehe!" Yoshitomo Kira also found that it was impolite to keep staring at Lolita, and only then did he notice Little Lolita It looked very fierce, like a little tigress protecting food and baring its teeth at Kirayoshi.

"Hmph!" Little Loli flicked her long straight black hair, and turned her face away from looking at Yoshiki Kira.

"Uh..." Kira Yoshishi opened the folding fan to hide his embarrassed expression, and then said, "Can you please tell me about that story at the main hall?"

"Okay! Hu Ji, come and sit down!" Changwei Jinghu pulled the still angry little loli to sit down, brewing up his feelings a little, and said slowly: "At the beginning of the year, my brother Qingjing passed away, and the only one left in my family is my sister. There are three younger brothers, the elder sister is the main wife of Ueda Nagao Masaki, and only Toraki and I depend on each other..."

Nagao Torahime is the youngest daughter of Nagao Weijing and the second wife, Suji Nagao's Tora Gozen, who was born in October of the 11th year of Tianwen. She is loved as the youngest daughter of Nagao Weijing.The old woman also brought a touch of beauty to Nagao Weijing's desolate old age.It's a pity that perennial depression and sudden illness took the life of the famous Echigo general.That's why so many catastrophes were brought to the Nagao family.

Because Hu Yuqian shaved her hair and became a nun, Nagao Toraji grew up in the parents of her uncle when she was young. When she was four years old, she was taken to live in Tochio Castle by Nagao Jinghu, and then she followed him to learn the art of war, military strategy, and the art of killing enemies on the battlefield. At that time Nagao Jinghu didn't have too many thoughts, but felt that Nagao's family was in danger, and his eldest brother, Nagao Qingjing, was not only physically weak, but also secretly stupid.

The second brother Jingkang and the third brother Jingfang were killed by Hei Tianxiuzhong when Chunri Mountain City fell.Only the brother and sister are left in the Nagao family in the mansion. As the children of the Nagao family, they should work hard for the family business. Subconsciously, he also doesn't want his younger sister to marry a countryman he doesn't like like the elder sister.

What's worse is that Ueda Nagao and Shimoda Nagao of the same clan covet the position of the general leader of a sect, so he has to strengthen his own power to strengthen himself, so Nagao Jinghu consciously reminds his sister, and strives to The direction of a heroine is developing. This 12-year-old younger sister who is also nicknamed Tiger Chiyo is indeed extremely talented, and even has a military strategy far beyond his imagination. She has excellent learning ability and can be a man at a young age. The things he couldn't do made him often lament that it would be better if she was a man.

Kira Yoshishi was instantly confused.Secretly said: "Where is this going? Nagao Jinghu has a younger sister. Shouldn't Takechiyo of the Matsudaira family have a younger brother? But according to the information from the Hattori Yasuo, there is indeed only Takechiyo in the Matsudaira family. His half-brother and half-brother are not counted at all, and the background of the Serada family's ghosts has not appeared yet, so naturally there is nothing like Serada Takechiyo.

Does this mean that his appearance caused the world line to shift?Then he, the little butterfly, fanned out the long tail for a daughter?Isn't this the right girl of my Kirayoshi era?But I already have a wife, how to solve it?Jinwei Jueji! "

Huya girl will naturally not give him a good face when she sees the nymphomaniac brother, seeing his nympho for a while, and the messy expression for a while, snorting coldly and walking out proudly to the window to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Dade Temple, let alone the scenery is really good, It made Huya girl feel a lot better. I heard that this nympho brother has a very beautiful big castle. Standing in the castle tower, you can see the scenery on Lake Biwa. His Kasuga Castle has nothing but a cherry blossom forest. From the mountain See Naoetsu is still ugly, isn't it?

This is just a small episode. The meeting between Nagao Jinghu and Kira Yoshitoshi was the highlight. Nagao Jinghu said: "This time, according to the policy of the Wuwei Temple, the army will be prepared, and the generals of Oshinano will stay at Echigo to make the people feel at ease. This strategy has benefited my Zongxin a lot!"

"Dan Shoden is too modest! With the intelligence of Dan Shoden, this kind of strategy will come to mind sooner or later, and my Yoshitoki is just at the right time." Kira Yoshitoki said modestly, Nagao Jinghu was talking about the aftermath of the Kawanakajima War , This is also an idea mentioned by Kira Yoshitoshi when he exchanged letters with him, to win over the people of Echigo with huge profits and unite them under the banner of Nagao Jinghu.

Next, Nagao Jinghu talked to him about the details of Kawanakajima, which was slightly different from the information sent back. Nagao Jinghu broke into the mountains of Shinano entirely by virtue of his superb tactical awareness and extraordinary decisiveness. It is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary generals to be able to escape from Takeda Harunobu's pocket formation.

"It's a pity that Takeda Harunobu is really cunning, and my Nagao army can't do anything to him after several intrusions." Nagao Jinghu said regretfully.

"Takeda Ozen is not very human, so you don't have to worry about playing the main hall." Of course, Nagao Jinghu couldn't help him, this was the first time for Kawanakajima, and the days to come will be long.

Then the two exchanged their analysis of the situation in Kanto and Kinai. Nagao Jinghu agreed with him to visit Sakamoto, Katada and other places. A meeting was held soon when the bell of Daitokuji Temple rang. Suddenly, Changwei Jinghu got up and said: "It's time for evening class, Zong Xin can only excuse me!"

"Ah, it's getting so late!" Yoshiki Kira noticed that the sky outside the window had darkened, and at around five o'clock in the evening, he also got up and said, "It's time to go back, too! I'll meet Tanseiden again some other day." Say!" (to be continued...)
