Swallow Back

The appearance is quite ordinary, but it was built in the Honmaru of Hengshan Castle, and ordinary people could not easily get in, so only the samurai in the city could come to worship.

Due to the tense situation, most of the people went out to fight, and there was no one else in the courtyard at this time.

Ning Ning took the whisk that was placed next to the shrine, carefully wiped the dust that was not there, and asked softly, "Lord Sasaki, why are you asking this question?"

Without hesitation, Liu Yun said sincerely: "The female monster Hu Yuqian said that she had cleared the entanglement between you and then died calmly. But the signs afterward, no matter how you look at it, are more like a part of her spirit and you. Fusion. I think this kind of thing will not be so simple, and there may be some bad follow-up development if you let it go, so I can't help but ask."

Ning Ning turned his head to look over, lowered his eyes and chuckled, "Are you worried that your concubine will be taken away by evil spirits?"

Liu Yun shook his head and said, "It doesn't look like it. That Tiger Royal Front should not be considered an evil spirit. I'm just worried about the sequelae of schizophrenia."

Ning Ning smiled again, continued cleaning the shrine, and suddenly talked about a topic he didn't want to talk about: "Lord Sasaki, look at this ape-like statue, it is said that it was originally a god that could be transformed into a human form to protect the people with magic! Only later The holy monk Jianzhen crossed eastward, Buddhism gradually rose, the people no longer believed in Shinto, and the ape god gradually lost his strength, and even his consciousness was blurred, and only a remnant of his soul remained."

Liu Yun felt that the other party was talking about some esoteric secrets, so he didn't answer, and listened carefully.

After a pause, Ningning said again: "But after all, it was once a god. Even if there is only a remnant of the soul left, it still contains the essence that ordinary people can't understand. Do you know why we arranged the shrine here? In fact, bamboo and bee Suka and the others understand that this is for Kinoshita-sama to subtly absorb the status of the monkey god."

When Liu Yun heard this, he was a little surprised, but also a little dazed.

Ning Ning obviously knew that things were difficult to understand, and continued to explain: "Master Kinoshita came from a humble background. When he was traveling as a teenager, he accidentally acquired the inheritance of the ancient great power 'Ape-faced Wuzun', but his power was too weak to inspire. For this reason, he I have tried every means to absorb those ape-related 'minds' to strengthen myself. Including this white ape, the guardian of Hengshan Castle, there have been more than a dozen times."

Liu Yun pondered what the other party said, and seemed to have guessed something, but was not quite sure.

After a while, Ningning continued: "If it is not from the same source, it is difficult to absorb it successfully. But even if it is the same source, it is the incarnation of the intention of 'ape', and there are still subtle differences. He has absorbed too much external force, and now, compared with the past, Kinoshita-sama is still the same person, but his temperament and aspirations have undergone some minor changes that cannot be ignored.”

Liu Yun suddenly realized: "I understand. It means that for some inexplicable reason, you have absorbed a part of the soul of the tiger royal front from the same source, and there have been subtle changes. Maybe I should call you a fusion. Mrs. Ning Ning in front of Tiger Royal."

Mrs. Ningning smiled and nodded: "Thank you for caring about your concubine. In fact... from the situation of Lord Kinoshita, it can be inferred that absorbing the power from the same source will only slightly change the temperament and interest, and there is no harm to note. "

Liu Yun has a keen sense of perception, and after absorbing the "bewitching power" of the red gouyu, he has an extraordinary comprehension of people's hearts. At this time, after a careful identification, he judged that this statement is generally true, and said with a sigh of relief: "If this is the case , I have nothing to worry about. However, I still feel a little sorry for Hu Yuqian's passing... People who are desperate to seek short-sightedness, should they be stopped? I still can't get an answer to this question."

Liu Yun himself did not know why he suddenly said this.

It may be that there are too many enemies that have suddenly appeared recently, and I have to fight everywhere like firefighters.

But after hearing these unintentional words, Ning Ning's expression suddenly became a little unusual.

She stopped cleaning the shrine, put the whisk back in place, lowered her head and slowly walked a few steps forward, came to the bottom of a big tree in the courtyard, gently stroked the new branches, and said quietly: " Mrs. Sasaki, before Mrs. Tiger Royal left, she said that you were her confidant. This recognition was also inherited by the concubine, so I have something to say, maybe I can only tell you..."

At this time, Liu Yun felt that it would be a little bad to listen to it for no reason, but when he looked up and saw the other person standing alone in the deep house compound, leaning against a tree under the spring breeze and sighing, there was a different kind of cold and lonely feeling, and an undue pity was born in his heart. Intentionally, he replied softly: "All ears are listening."

"Thank you." Ning Ning turned his back to this side, and there was an ethereal voice in his voice: "You probably know that Mrs. Hu Yuqian is the common obsession of the Fusang people for the intention of 'Yawa Nadeko', incarnate The monster that she became. Although the concubine is only a human being of flesh and blood, not a monster transformed by obsession, it seems that she is of the same origin for some reason."

Liu Yun nodded: "This is indeed already known."

Ning Ning was silent for a moment, and then said: "Although they have the same origin, they have some ideas, and they are different. The former Mrs. Hu Yu has only full admiration and tolerance for her husband. She only cares about her husband's enthusiasm, tenderness, affection, and interesting side. I think this is what a Fuso woman should look like. But as a concubine—"

Then there was another half-day pause, as if hesitating.

Liu Yun didn't rush, and even hesitated whether he should just leave without listening.

But in the end, Ning Ning still said: "My concubine used to think that happy love is only temporary, and a good wife who is truly worthy of the praise of future generations should pay more attention to the talents of men. She urged her husband to make achievements, stand out, and shine on the lintel... It is the meaning of 'Yamato Nadeko'."

Liu Yun was lost in thought, not understanding the meaning of those words.

After being silent for a while, Ning Ning said quietly: "But now, now... maybe some of the souls absorbed from Hu Yuqian are at work. These days, the concubine has been constantly reflecting and hesitating, whether it was wrong in the past, Should it be changed... Sasaki-sama, which of these two thoughts do you think is the correct solution?"

Liu Yun said without thinking: "Each has its own merits, and there is no absolute correct solution."

Ning Ning smiled bitterly and said: "It's a cunning answer, then change the way of asking questions. If there are two women, the first one will gently tolerate everything, and the second one will gently persuade progress... Which one would you choose to do? wife?"

Liu Yun still didn't hesitate: "Children make choices, adults will say I want them all!"

Ning Ning was stunned and speechless.

Only then did Liu Yun take a sigh of relief, and changed his serious attitude to speak: "Although this is a joke, it is also reasonable. For men, if you choose the first one, you will miss the second one in the future, and you will choose the second one. I will miss the first one in the future... that's the nature of a man."

Ning Ning nodded thoughtfully, covered his mouth and smiled: "Men's nature is really greedy!"

Liu Yun acted righteously in this regard: "Exactly."

Ning Ning, like an ordinary girl, let out a snort of laughter, with a much more relaxed expression on her face, caressing her chest and said, "Although it's a joke, my concubine also understands what you mean! Confused about which kind of life is better? That's right, it's more in line with the expectations of 'Yawa Nadeko', it's meaningless at all. By the way... the others are probably coming back soon, so please don't reveal what you just said, and keep it as a secret between the two of us. "

Liu Yun was stunned: "Secret? This is not good?"

Ning Ning nodded and smiled lightly: "What's the benefit of letting Lord Kinoshita know what I said just now? It just so happens that he has been very busy recently, and he doesn't have much time to take care of his concubine..."

Liu Yun hesitated: "Actually, Lord Zhuzhong should be able to see the abnormality on your body, even if I don't say it..."

Ning Ning shook his head and said, "The most trustworthy thing about Lord Takenaka is that he will act stupid when he should. Of course he will be aware of the situation of his concubine, but he will never ask questions, and will only keep it in his heart. So he's just trustworthy, but not trustworthy."

Liu Yun wanted to say something else, but at this time there was a voice from far outside the door, and it seemed that another team had returned from the battlefield.

If there are other people around, it would be inconvenient to have too much private communication with the "mother".

Liu Yun thought about it for a while, and felt that it was indeed not public.

Although Ning Ning's soul is mixed with some elements of Tiger Royal Front, it has changed a bit, but since it is not an evil spirit, and there is no malicious intent, it is easy to say.

Ning Ning slowly walked to the door of Honmaru to greet the retainers who returned to the city.

After walking for more than ten steps, he suddenly turned back, showing a sly girl-like smile that was not at all dignified and generous: "Lord Sasaki, don't forget this is a secret."

Chapter 110 VII Absolutely Honest and Innocent

Liu Yun vaguely felt that he had a "secret" with Ning Ning without the knowledge of Tokichiro Kinoshita.

After all, I am a dignified, noble and civilized person from the 21st century...

"My wife, I like it", "dumplings are not as delicious as dumplings", and "your wife, I will raise them" and other dregs of culture, they are all scornful and dismissive.

In Liu Yun's heart, there was absolutely no such idea!

Even if it exists, it is fleeting, and it will never stay in the mind.

Even if it stays in my mind, it will only occupy a little corner space, and there is no room for growth and growth.

Even if it grows and grows, takes root, and does have undeserved sinful thoughts, it will be bound by reason and self-control.

Even if you occasionally lose your reason and self-control, you can't restrain yourself...

No, this is impossible, Liu Yun is convinced that with his own conduct, he will not be able to reach that situation.

All in all, there is no need to worry too much.

Although Sasaki Liuyun, an outsider, made an inhumane agreement with Mrs. Kinoshita without Mr. Kinoshita's knowledge, but what about that?The relationship between the two is still pure and innocent, frank and pure, as white as a piece of white paper that has not been smeared with any ink, Liu Yun thought for a while, and realized that he had no need to feel guilty.

Then he heard someone shouting loudly: "It's Lord City Lord!" "Sir Kinoshita came back from a victory!" "Bring back the heads of many enemies!" and so on.

At the same time, there was a commotion and the sound of footsteps.

Not long after, Kinoshita Tokichiro appeared in Honmaru in Yokoyama Castle, wearing exaggerated armor, but with five short statures walking in front of him, his face was full of fatigue, and most of his body was covered with blood and dirt, but his spirit was abnormal. Excited and high-spirited.

Liu Yun greeted him, and before he had time to say hello, he saw the other party running over with a big smile, and said loudly, "Brother, today is going very well! This time, the Three Clouds Group of the Hexagon Yu Party, and the Baili Family of Iga Mountain Vulnerability. I thought I was dealing with the Asai Army in front of me, so I got together and wanted to destroy it, but it just hit the mark! Both forces have lost more than [-] core personnel, and with their scale, it is estimated that they will not be able to cause trouble for a while. Right! By the way, Brother Liuyun should be back soon, right? Did you meet someone?"

Liu Yun expressed his congratulations with pleasure, and then said that he had encountered more than a dozen elites of the same sect and beheaded the sixth-level experience.

Hashisuga Masatoshi and several other retainers heard the description on the side and deduced that several high-level leaders of the "Beijiang Twelve Squares" were killed.Then this force will probably be quiet for a while.

Kinoshita Fujikichiro laughed loudly, paused for a moment, asked his retainers to bring some tea, drank it in two or three sips, heaved a sigh of relief, and said triumphantly: "But our place is only a small battlefield after all, and the biggest good news is the master's side! Hideo Matsunaga That guy gathered 3 to [-] coalition troops, and unexpectedly took the initiative to attack in a whimsical way, and Danzheng-sama (Oda Nobunaga) also brought [-] people, killing the enemy to death, I heard that beheading thousands of levels, and the vicinity of Kyoto has regained stability!"

Knowing the development of "original history", Liu Yun was not surprised at all, and continued to smile and congratulate.

On the other hand, the other retainers in the city and the people of the country were all overjoyed when they heard the news, and they all felt honored.

Kinoshita Fujikichiro was still not enjoying himself, and drank two more cups of tea. His interest remained undiminished, and he continued: "The most interesting thing has not been mentioned yet! You also know that we are full of enemies now, and our troops are not enough. There are only two soldiers left in the north. 3000 people are defending, but Echizen's Asakura Yoshikage is a useless coward. There are more than 2 people, and he just procrastinates and dares not attack. The Asai family in Xiaogu Castle expects this kind of thing to save their lives, ridiculous, ridiculous !"

Liu Yun thought that this guy Asakura Yoshijing was really a piece of shit in the game, and felt his face was a little stiff, so he politely congratulated him again.

The retainers and the people of the country were excited again, and they all expressed their contempt and disdain for the Echizen Asakura family, and by the way, they boasted about their bravery and fearlessness.

After saying these three paragraphs and drinking a few cups of tea, Tokichiro Kinoshita devoured some simple food again, and said to Ning Ning, "This time the record of military exploits and casualties, the consumption of food, grass and weapons, and the preparations for the next military deployment... A bunch of things, please!" Then he fell asleep on his stomach on the wooden board in the hall of the palace, and didn't even go to the bedroom, let alone take a shower.

Although he has always been particularly "down-to-earth", the level of "down-to-earth" is also eye-popping.

The retainers and people who followed back to the city, very few frowned and expressed disgust, most of them laughed loudly, and the laughter showed a sense of identity that may come from the heart but not necessarily from the heart.

In any case, it can be regarded as a difficult time together, and as the situation gradually improves, the cohesion must be gradually strengthened.The contradictions caused by the forced promotion of "retainer housing" in the past have gradually resolved.

Ning Ning showed the usual dignified and generous attitude, smiled and bowed to take orders, and then ordered the servant to carry Toujiro Kinoshita into the room to rest.

Liu Yun observed it secretly and felt a little strange.

To say that Tokichiro Kinoshita trusts Ning Ning enough, the importance of recording military exploits, statistics of supplies, and preparation of supplies is self-evident. It seems that the couple is very close, regardless of each other.

but……

However, Kinoshita Tokichiro didn't seem to notice some subtle changes in Ning Ning's words, deeds, and temperament.

This relationship is more similar to the relationship between Duke Huan of Qi and Guan Zhong, and it seems to be a little different from the normal understanding of the husband and wife model.

Of course, Liu Yun was just thinking about it casually. How a husband and wife get along with each other is a private matter, and has nothing to do with him.This is the way to be honest and innocent.

Kinoshita Tokichiro fell asleep, and was carried into the bedroom by several strong servants. There was also an old woman who looked like a housekeeper, and whispered: "Remember to serve the adults and wash first..."

Hashisuga Masatoshi was very conscious of being a lieutenant, and immediately ordered the retainers and the people of the country to line up, report the results and losses one by one, and register them in the register after verification.This guy with a bearish waist and a tiger's back has a very imposing figure, which can just help support the scene.

Mrs. Ning Ning is still as usual, dignified and generous, gentle and majestic, although she is smiling, she has an aura that makes people not dare to be scornful, but she is stronger than the big bee Suka next to her. Not a lot.

Liu Yun faintly felt that compared to the past, Ning Ning's smile now seemed to be not only purely commercial, but also added a little sincerity.

But that's not what you should pay attention to.

Taking advantage of the fact that the situation was not so tense, Liu Yun decided to take a leave of absence to go home and rest a little.

……

Two hours later, Liu Yun was lying in the bedroom of Sasaki's house, cuddling Hong Yicui's warm and fragrant nephrite in his arms, and suddenly muttered to himself, "Women seem to like keeping secrets."

Iori turned pale when she heard the words, and said tremblingly: "Sir, you already know...you already know that your concubine...do you have a quarter of the blood of a monster in your concubine?"

Liu Yun was stunned for a moment, couldn't help smiling, shook his head and said, "I already knew about this, and I didn't care about it, don't think about it!"

Iori was relieved at this moment, but suddenly his face became suspicious, and he gave a wink to the side.

Saeko didn't hesitate, and said in an unquestionable tone: "I have no secrets in front of my master, whether in body or mind."

Iori gave a soft "Oh" and said to herself in a voice so weak that it was barely audible: "It's neither the concubine nor Saeko's words, so... it's not from the family, but from outside? "

Seeing this, Liu Yun thought that this woman was really getting more and more courageous, and she couldn't do it without education.

Chapter 110: The Sudden Fame

When he was playing games in his last life, Liu Yun had heard the term "Oda Encirclement Net".

It seems that there are many forces working together to encircle Nobunaga alone.

But the follow-up did not seem to have gone through any major turning points worth mentioning, and the encircling net was broken by each.
