A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Chapter 513 12. The balance of nine people is unexpectedly broken

Uncle Tsuna Liang left, not even leaving a lonely figure behind, and Qingqi returned to Futamata.

That road that I had never imagined suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Pingtai!

"Is it my fault? Or is it the fault of the world?"

Xiaoping asked himself deeply. He had known each other since his childhood in the thatched cottage, but was cut off from the grass. Over the past ten years, I have fulfilled my duties and served the public loyally and bravely without slacking off. I have never felt disloyal in my heart. You treat me as a soldier of the country, and I should repay you as a soldier of the country.

The oath made to the moon through the seven hardships and eight hardships is still in my ears, and I dare not forget it!

"As long as Taro Yamauchi treats me as an uncle for one day, I will treat Taro Yamauchi as a minister!"

After strengthening his resolve, Xiaopingtai set off immediately. No matter how wind blows from east to west, north or south, I will remain unmoved!

As long as Yamauchi Taro stands by Xiaopingtao, Xiaopingtai has nothing to worry about now or in the future. Xiaoheita must immediately grasp the issue of Taro Yamauchi's education, and can no longer leave it to Monk Kuaichuan Shaoxi.

Hurrying up, walking along the streets of Ina and along the Tianlong River, Xiaoping Tai flew back home.

A heavy rain came unexpectedly, and the group had no choice but to find a nearby village to rest.

Thanks to the domestic depot system established by Koheita, in addition to the preparation of roads, along the route south from Shinano to the Tōjiang River. A pavilion station will be set up every one mile, and warehouses and stables will be built and military stations set up in nearby villages every four miles.

This not only facilitated the rapid mobilization of the army, but also relatively developed the villages along the way.

"I never expected that it was Mr. Tanzheng, please come quickly!" No one in the village expected that someone would knock on the door in the rainy evening.

When Mrs. Xiaoping took off her raincoat and revealed the face of the famous Zhendong Kingdom, everyone in the village was shocked at first, and then immediately overjoyed and welcomed Mrs. Xiaoping into their home.

"Are you the boss of this village?"

"Yes, yes, this is the land below. I am listed in the military service certificate of Uchida County. Forty-five strings and two hundred letters are given to the public. The rule of Nagao is completed."

"Don't be so nervous, I'm going to disturb you."

Xiao Pingtai walked into the house. It was a very ordinary country wooden house. It was spacious and there was no need to consider issues such as materials and space. The fire pit in the earth room of the house was burning brightly, and something was cooking on it, which was very fragrant.

"Tan Zheng, please quickly change out of your coat. I'll let my wife help Tan Zheng dry it out. Wearing wet clothes on such a day, it's hard to avoid the wind and cold."

"What are you cooking? It smells so good!" Xiao Pingtai took off his coat and handed it to the farmer.

"My dear, come here quickly."

Xiao Pingtai sat by the fire pit. Tutou's wife came over to help Xiao Pingtai and Aji dry their coats. Tutou sat next to Xiao Pingtai. While talking, he served Xiaopingta some soup.

Holding the bowl, he looked at the place and introduced his three sons to Xiaopingtai. The eldest was called Ichiro. He was already twelve years old and considered half an adult. He bowed to Xiaopingtai in a proper manner.

As for the second and third children, that's not the case. One is six years old and the other is four years old. They are both still young and cannot sit still. Staring directly at the iron pot on the fire pit, the third child still held his finger in his mouth and swallowed his saliva.

The two little boys were very lively and cute. Xiao Pingtai naturally knew the meaning of this place, so he brought the three sons to Xiao Pingtai. If they were attracted by Xiao Pingtai, it would be impossible for them to achieve rapid success. At least they would not have a big problem with their small achievements.

"Come on, come on, come on." Xiaopingta waved the youngest child over, and then handed the half-eaten soup bowl to the child.

The little boy was not afraid of strangers. He was probably a farmer with a dignified appearance like Xiao Pingtai, whom he saw every day. He didn't look like a general fighting on horseback at all. He took the bowl and started drinking. He drank it in one breath and looked at Xiao Pingtai.

"Hahahahahaha, Aji, look, do you look like you before?"

"You're making fun of me again." When Aji was a child, he was like a starving ghost who was reincarnated. As long as he was at home, he would sit in the kitchen and eat every bite he could.

"You're a little younger, otherwise you can be my follower." Xiao Pingtai touched his little head with hair.

When Tuitou saw that the most naughty third child in the family was actually attracted by Xiao Pingtai, he was so happy that his eyebrows were raised, but the child was indeed too young to serve others. It's probably the situation now where people are both happy and anxious. I want to speak but don't know what to say.

"It's okay. It will be the same when he comes to the house to look for me when he is eight years old."

Koheta waved his hand and asked Chenzo to get his Omi-saku Kodachi.

"I bought this when I was in Luoyang before. It's not something expensive, so I gave it to him."

"Why don't you thank Tanzheng soon." Ditou took the Kodachi sword and quickly asked the child to lower his head to thank Xiaoping Tai.

The other two children, Xiao Pingtai, have not forgotten it. The eldest will probably learn to ride a horse. In the future, he will inherit his father's military service and ride on the horse to answer the call to fight in the house. So Xiaopingtai gave his horse battle to the little boy.

The second child thought for a while, maybe he would be an Ashigaru from now on, and Xiaoheita had nothing to teach him. So I gave him a short barrel from my horse, so that I could get familiar with shooting as early as possible. Maybe in the future I would be an iron cannon team leader and I would have the opportunity to touch the side of a samurai.

"The summer harvest is coming soon. How much can the village harvest?"

"this………"

"Don't worry, I'm not trying to seize the land."

"Huh..." Ditou breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm afraid this year won't be very good. When spring comes, the rain won't be good. It would be nice to have about 120 kilograms of wheat fall in the village this year."

"How much should you pay?"

"Totaling it all together, it costs about seventy-five stones."

"I'm sorry for you..."

It is true that the Yamauchi family cannot be called good government. Although the tax payable in this place is probably the tax amount stated in the name field document, the harvest of one hundred and twenty and the tax of seventy-five is really not easy.

"It's not that difficult to live on. It's difficult for Lord Tanzheng to take care of the country's affairs, but to fight from left to right."

"We all have our own difficulties, and we all serve the Yamauchi family, no matter how big or small they are."

"Tanzheng is considerate of me and so on. Thanks to Danzheng for saving me from Koshibata first, I can't thank you enough."

"Then we're going to bother you all night tonight."

"It's okay, it's okay. It's my honor."

After that, the family in the field brought rice, and Mrs. Xiaoping specifically ordered that it was not necessary to steam the rice with pure white rice. We will eat as a family normally.

Five minutes of wheat and five minutes of rice, very simple wheat rice. It’s similar to what Xiaopingtai used to eat when she was poor, but everything tastes delicious when she’s hungry, let alone freshly steamed rice.

There is also a pot of hot miso soup and mixed wild vegetables, which is already very good.

"Is Zixiaolu bomb here?" The family outside the house brought in a man who was soaked all over.

"I am, who are you?" Xiaopingtai put down the bowl.

"The younger one is from the 5th division of Fuchu Banner, under the command of Imai Sui, Mimu Eichiro."

"His Royal Highness Izumo Shou in the mountain was occasionally caught in the wind and cold. Due to old age and physical weakness, he was temporarily uneasy and passed away in his residence two days ago."
