Imagawa sat on the main hall and watched the song and dance in the courtyard in distraught. This is a song and dance that began to spread from the castle to various villages from around the seventh month of the third year of Eiroku. People call it the "Incredible Dance" or "Merry Dance". It is said that at first, villagers gathered in Hachiman Village to dance. After that, it quickly became popular in other villages. Lookouts are erected, fires are lit, drummers and trumpeters stand in the center, and dancers form a circle. At first, the dancers were mainly young men and women, and soon they were joined by men, women and children. By August and September, almost all the villages are immersed in frenzied dancing, and the dancers are dressed in dazzling silk satin.

Seeing the people reveling all night long, the samurai were also affected and unconsciously enjoyed it. Later, people began to have wild sex at will, regardless of the occasion, and even fornicated in broad daylight.

Some people attribute all this to the fact that the people saw that after Yiyuan died in battle, the clan was really incompetent, so they despaired, and they couldn't help but worry about the clan's rudeness and incompetence. There were even people who secretly said, "Someone is manipulating this matter behind the scenes, it must be a conspiracy of Oda Nobunaga." Someone else said, "This is the Matsudaira of Mikawa who sent Iga's ninja to make trouble." Rumors spread for a while.

In winter, the people of Imagawa breathe a sigh of relief when the wind dance declined, but when the spring flowers bloomed, this dance became popular again, and the scene became even more unbearable.

Just for this night dance, many people sold their land and secretly ran away, and some young samurai never returned.

"War is boring. One will be a success! It's better to sing and dance while you're alive. ”

"Yes, only the dancers know how to enjoy it."

The morale of the people was low, and the merry dance made people even more panicked. Revenge, morality, war, and labor are all things outside the body. They claim that man came to this world for pleasure. In this way, even the hedonistic Shizhen can't sit idly by. Therefore, he deliberately asked people to set up a lookout today to see what the so-called Merry Dance looks like. However, since the dance hall is located in the city and during the day, both dancers and spectators find it boring.

"What's the point of this dance? Unreasonable. "On one side of the Fuji sat Sena Hime, and on the other side sat the boy Miura Uemon Yoshijin. Ji Zhen said to himself while stroking Yizhen's hand, which was whiter and tenderer than a woman.

"My lord, it's because I dance during the day. If you come to see it at night, when people can't see each other's faces clearly, adults can't help but get involved. "Yizhen Road.

"Oh?" Ji Zhen gripped Yoshijin's hands tightly, his eyes shining. Sena Hime glanced at this absurd behavior from time to time, and she felt that Shima was close to the man on purpose to show her.

When Shina called Sena Hime and asked her to get from him, Sena Hime murmured, "I am a married woman." But she was more like speaking to herself, because her heart was wavering.

"Humph! Will you also make Matsudaira Yoshian your husband? Ngiyaan has already fallen in love with Nobunaga and betrayed me. ”

"No, that's an adult's misunderstanding. Ngiyasu was a last resort in order to avoid Nobunaga's edge. ”

Shima didn't believe Senahime's words at all. "Do you also want to join hands with Ngee An against me?" He pursed his thin lips and immediately called Miura Yoshijin. "Only you won't betray me. Come here! ”

Shizhen hugged the diminutive Yoshijin on his lap, turned his face to Sena Hime, and said, "Go down." ”

Since then, every time Sena Hime comes, Shin always asks Yoshijin to accompany him. Incredibly, whenever she sees Shina hugging Yoshijin, Sena Ji is jealous. She suddenly had a strange thought: If I treated Yijin as a man, how would Shijin feel?

"Stop! The Merry Dance will be held again in the evening. Shi Zhen stood up suddenly. When Sena Hime woke up, she found her father kneeling in front of her with an abnormal expression. "Come here, I have something to say to you, come to my bedroom."

"Yes."

Senahime was taken aback and quickly stood up with her father. The guards went to the courtyard and stopped the merry dance.

What's going on? Did my father come to persuade him to stop dancing or did he come by chance? The father in front of him was by no means the usual calm and calm person, and the corners of his mouth twitched violently.

"Father, what happened?"

"Something is wrong." Qin Yong sighed as he walked, "Don't come along, I'll tell you later." ”

Whether her father told her to go back to the mansion and wait, or wait in the castle, Sena Hime didn't understand. The father hurriedly waved his hand and quickly followed Shi Zhen. Senahime stood at the end of the corridor for a while, and couldn't help but follow along. Her father's embarrassment made her want to find out.

The cherry blossoms on the right side of the corridor are in full bloom, mixed with very bright vermilion. In Senahime's eyes, that kind of vermilion is very unlucky.

Shijin walked into the bedroom under the guidance of Yizhen, and Kinyong followed. Sena Hime quietly walked to the next room and sat down by the door. A maid almost screamed, but Senahime quickly stopped her.

"Something is wrong?" Shizhen's voice came from the next room.

"Please leave the crowd." Pro-Coopers.

"Not necessarily. I'm alone. "Shizhen is very stubborn.

Qin Yong was silent for a while, as if hesitating, and then seemed to have made up his mind, and said, "There is a battle report that says that the city of Xijun has fallen. ”

"The fall of the West County City? Who...... Who...... Who took it? Is it Ngee An? ”

"Yes."

"Your son-in-law captured it? So, what did Fujitaro do with Changzhao? ”

When Sena Ji Xin came here, she couldn't help but stand on end. The bad luck was fulfilled.

Nishigunjo is the residence of Uden Fujitaro Nagasho, and the mother of Nagasho and Sena Hime are both the younger sisters of Imagawa Yoshimoto. Since Ngee An began to run Mikawa, its influence gradually expanded to the western county town on the border of the Imagawa clan.

I heard that my older half-brother Matsudaira Kiyozen was about to attack Nishigun, and Changzhao, who was staying in Sunfu, had just returned to the city not long ago.

After Yoshi-an returned to Okazaki Castle, Shi-shin believed that Matsudaira Kiyoyoshi was suspected of colluding with Yoshi-an, so he pushed all his family members to Yoshida and beheaded him. It was rumored in Junfu that Matsudaira Kiyozen rebelled because he held a grudge. When Sena Hime heard this, she couldn't help but laugh at her true nervousness.

"What did Fujitaro do? How is my aunt? In the face of Shi Zhen's series of questions, Qin Yong did not answer for a long time.

"Hateful! Sure enough, it was Ngee An behind the scenes. Now that this is the case, you should be prepared. Let Sena, Chiyo Take, and Aki prepare to die. What did Fujitaro do? ”

"Alas, when Fujitaro Nagasho arrived at the castle, the enemy had already attacked."

"! Did he dance all the way through? ”

"There is no definite information, it is rumored that both Changzhao and his younger brother Changzhong were killed in battle."

"Where's my aunt?"

"She's ...... too"

"Ngee An, this bastard!"

When Shi Zhen said this, he suddenly fell silent. He felt his blood surging all over his body, and he felt a little dizzy. While he was indulging in the city of Sunfu, his father's domain had been gradually swallowed up. Although he hated Ngee Ann to the core, he was helpless. Until now, it is impossible for Ngee An to return to Junfu. Of course, Shizhen did not dare to send troops to attack Okazaki Castle. If an army were sent to recruit Nghe An, the soldiers would definitely dance in the middle of the march and then disperse. It was precisely because of the defeat of the Imagawa clan that the Merry Dance was all the rage.
