The city walls of the capital city of the country of fire are majestic, and the blue bricks are mottled and dotted, and the traces of history not only do not damage its majesty, but add a deep meaning to it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It was originally an ancient city run by the Tokugawa family for generations, and it has experienced the wars of the Warring States period and has been attacked by swords in even older times, but its mottled blue bricks have not been damaged, and the towering walls have not collapsed, but have become thicker and thicker with the passage of time. At the end of the Warring States period, under the great pressure of the ninja independence movement, the nobles of the Fire Country, led by the Tokugawa clan, united and established the daimyo system, and the ancient city was designated as the capital of the Fire Country.

The blue bricks of the capital are thick and heavy, and they are built into towering walls. But how are the real walls of the city dead things like blue bricks and boulders?

"Ahem, ahem!"

Tokugawa Ieyasu coughed twice, although he was still wise, and even the male lord that the Tokugawa family had never had, his rickety body could no longer hide the aura of old age. During the Warring States period, he was known as the lion of men. At the age of twenty, he took over the position of patriarch and impressed all his opponents for three years, and at the end of the Warring States period, it was he who single-handedly formulated the strategy of the entire aristocracy for the next hundred years, and conveyed to all the nobles the preparation for a long political war.

However, at this moment, this peerless master, who made both Senju Pillar and Uchiha Madara extremely cautious, the most majestic wall of the Daodaochuan family, finally couldn't resist the passage of time.

His gaze looked out of the mansion, and he seemed to have seen the carriage slowly approaching in the distance.

"Xiuzhong is coming back......"

……

At the city gate, two richly dressed middle-aged men were also waiting there.

The two looked into the distance, as if they were expecting someone to arrive. And when their eyes turned and met each other's gaze, the two did not hide the disgust and murderous intent in their eyes, even if they were brothers with the same blood.

In the struggle of more than ten or twenty years, the former blood and family ties have long disappeared.

Sometimes, in the middle of the night, the two of them would wake up from their dreams. They will think of the slander about their brother that they let their father go to during the day, they will think of all the intrigues and tricks arranged during the day, they will think of an assassination that was arranged a few days ago or ten days ago, and they will also think of why their brother, who was once like a brother, has come to this point.

However, after a brief period of guilt and guilt has passed, they will think of that place again. The supreme position of the Fire Country, the position of his father's name in history, can allow him to enjoy the position of supreme glory...... For its sake, it seems that there is nothing wrong with fratricide.

Behind the two of them, the samurai ninja in the light and in the dark also glared angrily, as if they would draw their swords at any time.

In the distance, two carriages drove slowly, one graceful and elegant, the other calm and heavy.

Both of them had tidied up their outfits, and they hadn't seen this brother for more than ten years.

After more than ten years, what will become of my brother? I heard that he has already got married, and he has made a career in the fiefdom, and he is very influential in the local area, what a capable younger brother.

So, will he support himself? With his support, he will definitely be able to defeat his biggest competitor and seize the highest power in his hands.

In the carriage, Tokugawa Hidetada had already seen his two brothers.

"It's still not changed at all, what it was like back then, and what it is still like now."

He looked at the capital leisurely and felt that this piece of sky was too small, so small that people who had lived under this sky for a long time could no longer see the vast world beyond the sky.

"Then, Hokage, I'm afraid I'll have to go and catch up with my two brothers. I believe that we will meet in the capital in the near future, and please give us more advice then. ”

Ape Fei smiled and nodded, "Definitely, definitely." ”

Squeak, squeak, the lilac carriage headed towards the two men at the city gate, and the black carriage drove straight into the city.

……

Xiuzhong walked out of the carriage slowly, with a graceful bearing, looking forward to it like a wild goose sweeping the air, with a high-spirited and energetic spirit, and a calm and confident demeanor.

For some reason, a sense of depression rose in the chests of the two people at the city gate, and in the depths of the unnoticed, there was a faint sense of inferiority. The sparrow leaping between the branches of the tree probably felt this way when they saw the Roc soaring in the nine heavens.

"Big brother, second brother, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, are you okay?" Xiuzhong did not have the rustiness that he hadn't seen for more than ten years, and calmly greeted the two brothers, asking them about their physical condition with concern, as if he was still the weak teenager back then.

The two let go of the inexplicable vigilance and depression in their hearts, and for them, the top priority was to win the support of this younger brother, so that the opponent was completely suppressed at the birthday banquet, and the position of the daimyo was just around the corner.

"Xiuzhong, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, but I grew up in a flash, and now I have a family. I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and my eldest brother misses you very much. ”

"Second brother too, back then, you followed the second brother and me all day long, let me take you to crazy play. Now the second brother is also old, he can't run, and there have been many changes in the capital, Xiuzhong, if you want to go shopping, the second brother will personally accompany you to go shopping. ”

"Xiuzhong, my father's birthday is coming soon, and my eldest brother was also confused before and forgot to remind you. Birthday gifts must be prepared, and some rare things must be prepared to make my father happy. You have been in the place for so many years, I'm afraid you won't be able to get any good things, if you need anything, just ask the eldest brother for it, and you can pick the things in the eldest brother's warehouse. ”

"Second brother, I was also confused, and I forgot to remind you. Over the years, the second brother has saved so many rare things, Xiuzhong, if you like any of them, you can just take them to play, and many of them are specially saved by the second brother for you. The porcelain in Jingzhen, as well as the wood carvings in the north, the second brother remembered that you liked them when you were a child, and they all kept them for you. ”

Xiuzhong sighed softly in his heart.

In his carriage, an old chest was properly placed, containing the most precious treasure in the world.

……

In the black carriage, Ape Fei and Ming Yuan looked at the city gate from the back window.

Ming Yuan can see clearly, in ten years, the deep gap has opened between the three of them.

The two brothers, who lived in the capital and formed a gang to please their father, spent ten years learning all kinds of skills of party struggle, and also learned all kinds of insidious and ruthless methods. And the younger brother who took the initiative to leave the capital has become a figure who stands on the same level as his father in ten years.

"Like a bird to a kite, the gap can't be calculated." Ape Fei sighed and looked away.

There was no need to compare, silently, Ape Fei made a certain decision in his heart.

The sound of horses' hooves echoed above the green bricks, and a high-spirited horse galloped towards the galloping knight.

"It's Hokage's face, it's Daimyo Konoe below, so it's polite here." The valiant knight turned over and dismounted, and respectfully saluted the ape flying in the carriage.

"The guild hall is ready for you, please allow me to take you there."

"In addition, the Daimyo is hosting a banquet at his home tonight, and I sincerely invite you Hokage-sama to have a light meal."

Ape Fei smiled and nodded: "In this way, Your Excellency Lao will lead the way." ”

"Please also tell the daimyo that Sarufei will go to disturb two glasses of water and wine tonight."
