Whether the letter written by Gongzi can impress Yang Ye or not, everything is naturally decided by Lu Ning.

So, more than a month later, Lu Ning, who was hired from the Andong Prefecture as the "head of the new army" of Owari Province, arrived at Shimotsu Castle, the guardian palace of Owari Province, by sea.

Accompanying them was Lu Ning's group in Atami House, with twenty-two soldiers, two Ezo slave auxiliaries, and twenty samurai.

In addition, there are the four daughters of Zhendong Ji, Kyoko, Jizi and Zizi, Xiaoxinju, Aqingju and two child servants, that is, the two seven- and eight-year-old children who were bought in Atami House, and Aqingju is the mother of the two of them, the woman who sold them that Lu Ning saw, in fact, she couldn't survive anymore, so she became Xiaoxinju's helper.

Shimozu Castle was later built down in the area of Nagoya, but this castle was later burned down, and by the Warring States Period, it was used as the main castle of the daimyo in this area, such as Kiyosu Castle and Nakono Castle.

The villages and towns around Shimotsu Castle are extremely densely populated, and the surrounding villages are densely covered with patches of cultivated fields, which is very different from the situation in the Kanto region.

In the vicinity of Shimotsu Castle, on the banks of the tributaries of the Kiso River, and more than ten miles from the mouth of the Kiso River, there is a prosperous town of Kawako and Ichicho, which is roughly the center of Nagoya in the later generations.

Under the castle of Xiajin, new fence wooden houses were built as military camps for the "new army".

Lu Ning's residence is between the new army barracks and the port town of Shimotsu, and it is two or three miles away from the barracks and the port town.

The silver belt is like a beautiful manor with cherry blossom trees on the bank of the long river, and there is a small blue lake in it, an irregularly shaped gourd-shaped lake, roughly 100 meters long and 100 meters wide.

In Lu Ning's view, this should be the location of the Shonai Green Park in Nagoya in the future.

Although there is no hot spring that Lu Ning loves, this house is quiet and quiet, and the building also has the unique delicacy of Dongying, which makes people calm down, and Lu Ning likes it very much.

……

When night fell, Kyoko came to the other garden, and then went into the study with Lu Ning to have a secret conversation.

Looking at Kyoko Fukada who was kneeling opposite the tatami mat, Lu Ning's heart sank, gorgeous costumes, layers of colors, it was twelve orders, it seemed, I am afraid that it would weigh more than ten catties, but it really has a simple atmosphere and gorgeous beauty.

And Kyoko's delicate face raised high is also a little more noble and beautiful, and it already has the extremely delicate and beautiful sense of oppression of later actresses, and now, this momentum is even stronger.

In fact, the thickness of the cushions between the two is the same now, which is a very equal meeting, but Lu Ning habitually crosses his legs, so it seems that his status is slightly higher.

At noon today, Kyoko Fukada's husband, Fujiwara Saitoshi, the lord of Owari Country, personally greeted him at the port, and it could be seen that he was extremely excited to see his wife, who had been separated for several months.

Lu Ning just exchanged a few words with him, and according to what he had agreed with Kyoko Fukada, everything would be explained to him by Kyoko Fukada.

Now, Kyoko Fukada has taken out a few pages of paper, which is the plan of the "new army", which has obviously been approved by Fujiwara Saitoshi.

The so-called Owari New Army is actually to train a samurai, professional soldiers, and no longer based on the usual family groups of Toei, but like the Qi army, the soldiers are organized into combat units such as battalions, capitals, and squads.

The Owari New Army will recruit 500 brave and brave soldiers, and organize them into a general army, with a general general, a deputy general, a military division, and a pen each, and five military commissioners, each commanding a team of 500 people, and ten of them will be organized into a small team.

Lu Ning looked at the list of the new army, many of them were from the Tianshan clan, and the general Tian Shan Jiaozhong seemed to be a warrior from Tianshanzha.

The Tayama clan has tens of thousands of people in Musashi, but many of them have already taken root in their homeland, and there are thousands of people who are willing to come to Owari, and they will be sent over in batches, and the first batch is all young and middle-aged.

"Master Ban, the new army is all up to you!" Kyoko Fukada bowed down in a very pleading manner, but it may be that her identity has changed dramatically, as if she is already a kind of demeanor for a noble person to ask someone to do things.

Lu Ning smiled, thought for a while, and said, "This place is very close to Kyoto, Jizi and Zizi, whether to send them home or not, I'm thinking about it." ”

Kyoko Fukada was stunned and hurriedly said: "By all means, this is to return the imperial daughter, and it also needs the approval of the General Academy of Literature and the Governor of Yang Ye. Second, although the two princesses are perfect, but outsiders don't know, they are sent to Kyoto at first glance, I am afraid that it will be rumored that it will arouse the hatred of Kyoto for the Ban adults and Qi people, but it is not as good as now, in Kyoto, even the people who know the two of them, and they only know that they are missing, and most of them will think that they are practicing in a temple somewhere in Kanto. ”

"In this Ozhang country, even the maids of the class don't know their identities, so why should the class bother with mediocrity?"

Lu Ning bowed slightly.

Kyoko Fukada sighed softly at this time, "Actually, why didn't the concubine appreciate the gossip?" ”

Lu Ning knew that the powerful people in Xiajin City must also be suspicious that Kyoko Fukada had actually lost her body.

After all, there is no impermeable wall, and unlike the secret of Jizi and Zizi's identity, Kyoko Fukada once served as a slave of the Qi people, and many people in Takayama knew about it, and Kyoko Fukada might not lie to her husband.

If it is said that he has always received high courtesy from Qi people, then in the future, once the East Window incident occurs, it will not be beautiful.

It's better to talk about it now.

And Fujiwara Saitoshi's performance today is obviously a dependence and fascination with Kyoko Fukada, and he doesn't care too much about this.

It's just that Fujiwara Qimin's relatives, retainers, or the magnates of Shimotsu City must have a lot of discussions, especially because I am afraid that there are many Kyoto ministers who want to marry their daughters to Fujiwara Qimin as a continuation.

Lu Ning originally wanted to say that the rumors stopped at the wise, but thinking about it, it seems that the wise will not believe it, as a slave, and so delicate and beautiful, there will be men who are not tempted, right?

Moreover, seeing Kyoko Fukada act and do whatever it takes to achieve her goals, I am afraid that her original reputation may not be very good.

"I don't care!" Kyoko Fukada smiled at this time, and said: "Ban-sama rested earlier today, I am in the main residence, Ban-sama can go to me at any time if there is anything, the concubine only lives, and there is no defense against Ban-sama, who is Ban-sama, I still don't know?" ”

Lu Ning was stunned, although he was arranged to live in this manor, knowing that he was waiting, he was only in a state of sojourn, and the courtyard of the main residence was vacant, this mansion was very large, and it was normal.

But don't want to, the main residence is reserved for Kyoko Fukada?

"This place was originally requested by me as a place of retreat, that is, from today onwards, the concubine is the master, and the class is the guest." As she spoke, Kyoko Fukada smiled.

Lu Ning wanted to say something, but then bowed slightly.

Kyoko Fukada seemed to know what Lu Ning was thinking, and said with a smile: "It's already like this, it's better to use the identity of the class to scare those who chew their tongues, my husband's enemies, if they want to murder my husband, now they have to think twice." ”

Lu Ning smiled and didn't speak.
