October 1544. In the land of Yama-gun, Kawanuma-gun, Nobuo-gun, and Aizu-gun, which were in Aizu's possession of the Asada, it was no longer possible to continue to expand the results of the war in a short period of time. The Yamauchi family, the Nikaido family, and others were also afraid of the strength of the Uesugi family, and did not take the initiative to attack the territory occupied by the Uesugi family.

It was at this time that the Date Harushi sect sent someone to invite Asadaki to a banquet in Yonezawa Castle. Although Ota Shimasa, Usami Dingkatsu and others directly opposed it, they believed that Aizu was not completely stable, and there were still many remnants of the Ashina family. Chao Ding insisted on going. But he still took a hundred knights of the 'Kawagoe Knights' with him, and added Kato Duan to hide beside him and dress up as a personal guard. Namba Hiroyoshi's sword skills were not bad, and he was also appointed by the court as the general of the Knights.

The Anazawa family in Nobuo Prefecture was directly on full alert, and Usami Dingkatsu mobilized a hundred ashigaru to stand by in Hinobara, and waited until Asada's party arrived to escort all the way to the north of Iwayama Castle and outside the territory of the Date family before returning.

Date Harumu also sent an important minister, Oni Ting Liangzhi, to wait for the court at the border. He's been waiting here for five days. He also knows that the mountain roads in Aizu are not easy to walk.

"The repair doctor has finally arrived, and the foreign minister is upright." Ghost Court Liangzhi is not too old at this time, but he is also middle-aged.

"Lord Ghost Court bravely crowned the three armies, and I have heard of it for a long time." Asada's sarcastic remark was said that the retainers of the Date family who were present were so happy that they didn't know why, even the repair doctor from Musashi had heard of the samurai of Oshu, and it was really too face-saving!

"The repair doctor praised it falsely, and the minister failed to break the plight of the Yonezai family." Ghost Ting Liang shook his head when he said this, "But the talent of repair doctors is indeed rare!" With the power of the Nagao family, he defeated the Aizu famous Ashina family in one fell swoop! And let the only heir of the Ashina family, the Ashina clan, be subordinate to the Uesugi family! ”

"Lord Ghost Court, don't be sarcastic about me, not to mention that the old collar was taken away, and even the retainers under my command will go away with me." Chao Ding put on a look of indescribable bitterness.

"Don't blame yourself for repairing the doctor's hall, the minister didn't mean it, the lord has already prepared the banquet, so he will repair the doctor." Ghost Court Liangzhi seems to be very optimistic about this banquet, and his Ghost Court family has also saved a lot of effort. If the Ashina family is not destroyed, he will be busy every day!

On the way, Oni Ting Liangzhi and Chaoding also talked and laughed, and by the way, they told Chaoding about the situation in Oshu and some information about the Daimyo and wealthy families.

Since Asada's arrival in the Date family's territory was already reported to Yonezawa Castle, Date Harumune also saw the time and waited for Asada's outside the castle town. The face of the court is very big! Although it is almost dark now, there are still many people crowded on the roadside to see the appearance of the 'famous general'. As soon as Chaoding arrived, even the people of Yonezawa City couldn't help but think that it was a 'divine soldier descending from heaven' when they saw the white-clothed Chaoding and the white-robed knights under his command, and they didn't know how many times stronger than the army of the Date family! Moreover, the discipline and quality of the knights are strictly required before the dynasty, and the elite soldiers and strong generals who have been refined in actual combat!

Date Harumune also entered Yonezawa Castle with Asadaki after a few words with Asadahan in the castle town, and all the white-robed knights entered the castle, and most of them rested in Ninomaru.

Namba Hiroyoshi and Kato Danzo took ten white-robed knights and followed Asadachi to the Ohiroma in Honmaru. The court is set on the left, Date Harumune is on the right, and the main seat is directly an extra cushion and a pair of chopsticks. Nambada Hiroyoshi and Kato Dan were hidden on the right hand side of the Asada, and the other retainers of the Date family sat according to their ranks. Ten white-robed knights stood outside the Great Wide Room with guns.

"Ladies and gentlemen! If it weren't for Dr. Uesugi to relieve the pressure on the family and defeat the Ashina family this time, the current situation of the family would still be very difficult! Date Harumune raised his glass.

"Lord Harumun, don't deliberately exalt me, the civil strife in the Date family will end one day, and you are the eldest son of Zhizong, and the family business of the Date family will be yours sooner or later." Asada and Date Harumune clinked glasses.

"What the repair doctor said is very true, let Naoko come over and dance, if there is no singing and dancing, the banquet will be boring." Date Harumune put down his glass, and now it occurred to him that something was missing from the banquet.

"Naoko?" Chao Ding felt that the name was a little familiar.

"Repair doctor, Miss Naoko, she is also very smart. The dancing is also very good. "Date Harumune put on a pose at this time, 'The goods must be good!' Rest assured! Although it made the ghost garden Liang present look unhappy, everyone was looking forward to the dance of this Naoko girl.

Just after the small surnames slowly opened the door of the big wide room, a young woman wearing a white dress and a golden black hat appeared in front of everyone. Before Chao Ding could see her face clearly, she had already flipped her white sleeves, singing "This Song" while dancing, very elegant and sassy. This scene even Chao Ding, a person who can't understand the dance of the island country, thinks that this dance is really good!

Just when everyone applauded one after another, Ghost Ting Liangzhi, who was sitting on the side, saw half of it and felt that this place was no longer suitable for him to stay. He then left the Great Wide Room without saying goodbye. In the entire large room, everyone's eyes were on this girl named Naoko, and they didn't notice that there was no one missing. Naoko, Naoko? Chao Ding seemed to have thought of something.

"Good! This woman reminds me of Jing Yuzen! After Naoko finished jumping, Chao Ding stood up directly and put away his folding fan and said.

"The women of Oshu can be favored by Musashi's repair doctors!"

"Miss Naoko is really Miss Oshu!"

Many people were whispering, and Date Harumune motioned for Naoko to come forward. At this time, Chao Ding found that the ghost court Liangzhi who was close to him suddenly disappeared, although something was not quite right, but he didn't have much to say now. After all, the beautiful woman is in front of you......

"What does the repairman think? Why don't you let Miss Naoko serve you at night? Date Harumune took the opportunity to start selling.

"How can this be embarrassing? Lord Harunzong misunderstood me, I really didn't mean that...... It's really ......" Chao Ding's mouth didn't dare to agree directly! If Ayahime finds out, she will have to return a layer of skin if she doesn't die! However, he felt that there was clearly some reluctance in the eyes of the woman in front of him, and there were also some thoughts.

"I can still call the shots in this little thing, and I must do my best to be a landlord." Date Harumune said that he had to take care of it 'very intimately', and even the retainers of the Date family were a little reluctant. Since he doesn't want to reward his retainers!

Chao Dingsaw that he couldn't get rid of it, so he had to agree. When you enter the bedroom prepared by Date Harune at night, first tell Kato Duzou and Nambada Hiroyoshi: If you two say it, you will become dead! I will not speak out to you for your reward.

Then, the two of them knew each other and felt that they couldn't tell Ayahime, but the safety of the Asada's work was still very important. They knew that this was not Aizu, and the ten white-robed knights stood guard five steps away from the door. If something happens to Chaoding, then the more than 100 of them don't have to go back, and they can all commit suicide here. And Nambada Hiroyoshi and Kato Duanzo and the two of them were resting in a room next door.

It didn't take long for Naoko, who had changed into plain clothes, to come to the house of the court. Although she was dressed a little differently, it was normal according to the color.

Naoko entered the inner room, and the first thing she saw was Chao Ding, who was leaning on the ground, and the latter glanced at him, and then put the book down: "Miss Naoko, Bingxue is smart, I think Lord Ghost Court should feel the same way." “

"My lord, then you are a well-known talent." Naoko didn't dare to ignore it, and hurriedly bowed down, respectfully speaking, despite the disparity in status, the other party is not arrogant and arrogant, but the way of respect and inferiority between men and women has always been pressed under her heart, and she dare not loosen in the slightest. "Raise your head and let me see you." After sitting upright, Xiang Tsai took a closer look at the beauty in front of him.

Although Chaoding did not ask Naoko to serve him, Naoko had questions to ask him. Moreover, Chao Ding read a lot from her eyes. Her eyes contained inexplicable emotions in them, including disdain, disgust, and sadness......

Naoko immediately raised his head, and inadvertently glanced at the title of the book in Chaoding's hand - "The Tale of Heiji". This is not a favorite reading for the gentleman, and on this occasion he is not thinking about the joy of the bed that both men and women yearn for, but the cultural edification of elegance? Naoko couldn't help but speak, "Is the repair doctor also interested in "Heiji Monogatari"? ”

Glancing at Naoko, who was flushed, Chaoding turned his gaze to the side: "It's just a book that my friend likes, but because she can't figure out the grammar, she ......" Actually, it's a book that the sister of the inner Sentaoin (the one from Kasuga Mountain Castle) likes, but he can't say the name of that one. So one can only try to change the subject.

However, Naoko seems to have seen through everything: "Oh, the friend who repaired the doctor will not admire Judge Kuro (Gen Yoshitsune) like other girls, but like Ba Gozen and Kiso Yoshinaka!" ”

If you put the brave and rough Kiso Yoshinaka in the Uesugi family, I'm afraid that only the Kakizaki Keike family can barely fit this image, but the loyalty of Kenshin throughout his life is indeed more like Gen Yoshitsune, who swore not to be an enemy of his brother...... Thinking of this, Chao Ding smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid she is more in line with the image of Judge Jiulang, of course, her brother doesn't have the ability of Kamakura Gong, this can be regarded as a great luck in misfortune."

Think about it, if Qingjing was the source of the Yorito Dynasty back then, how could Qianxin still come out, I am afraid that he would have been hunted down to the northeast and died as miserably as Gen Yoshijing. "Hmm", Naoko lowered her head, so that people could not see the trace of grief and jealousy in her eyes, and then calmed down her emotions and asked in a low voice: "Then the person you admire, Doctor Repair, is it Judge Kuro or Kamakura Gong?" “

This question, Chao Jingxin suddenly became vigilant, is this a temptation of the Date family? However, seeing the complicated and expectant look in the girl's eyes, maybe she was too sensitive, thinking so in her heart, she did reply: "Actually, what I admire is neither Judge Kurou nor Kamakura Gong,

Chao Ding didn't have much affection for Yuan Yijing, and said: No, my favorite is not Judge Jiulang, as a man, he can't even protect his favorite wife and concubine, I would rather be Ping Qingsheng. When he was there, the people he loved were around. ”

Naoko exclaimed, "...... It's really a blessing, if it was you who could meet Jingyu, I'm afraid that I wouldn't die in vain and would have set foot on the Hachiman Yellow Spring with happiness. ”

Chao Ding disagreed: "...... You are exalting me too much, in fact, I have no ambition at all, I just want to protect myself and the only family I have now, as for the world, I was not needed in the first place. Since the death of his uncle, he has felt that there is really no point in fighting for the world. It's probably good to be able to stick to one place and keep the name of your family.

Naoko was a little surprised: "It's really a strange statement, as a descendant of Fujiwara, you shouldn't regard meritorious achievements as the foundation, but passively avoid the world, you are really an outlier among the samurai." She wondered why he thought the way he did. With his talents, it was easy to conquer a country, and the Ashina family was defeated in an instant, and isn't it the best example to be subordinate to the Uesugi family?

Chao Ding sighed: "Compared with the bright stars in the long river of history, I am just an ordinary passerby, why do I have to be the brightest star?" ”

Naoko smiled: "Huh...... Adults are really interesting, but I ...... Still...... Hope...... Hope...... You can be the brightest star...... This way, you ...... to protect ...... own home...... "Speaking ......of which, there is something wrong with Naoko.

"Naoko? What happened to you? Chaoding felt that Naoko had revealed some abnormal statements from her words just now.

Naoko already had tears in the corners of her eyes: "Too... Late... Finish... Originally... I've been looking for ...... It's such a simple thing, why ...... No...... Realize ...... early"

"Naoko, what are you going to do?!" Asada saw Naoko suddenly take out the coacher from inside her clothes.

"My lord, it's really nice to meet you, if we had seen each other ten years earlier......" Naoko didn't finish speaking, he directly pulled out the cooperation and stabbed himself in the abdomen!

"No!" Chao Dinggang wanted to stop it, but it was too late. Naoko's blood had been poured out, and her clothes had been stained red.

"Your Excellency...... Please take care of the only daughter of the little girl. Just after Chaoding helped Naoko up, she said intermittently.

"Why can't you think about it? Tell me something! Chaoding didn't understand why she suddenly committed suicide!

"The Date family doesn't want to see a powerful daimyo nearby...... But, no matter what, in the end, the Date family ......was left behind," Naoko said and kept coughing, and all she coughed up was blood.

"Someone! Come on! "Asadaki asked Naoko to stop talking first.

"What's wrong with the lord?!" The first to arrive were ten white-robed knights, all of whom rushed in with swords in their hands, and when they saw Naoko's co-cha, they thought there were assassins.

"Lord, is there an assassin?!" Nambada Hiroyoshi and Kato Duanzo also arrived.

"Get a doctor! Just go! Chaoding didn't bother to talk to them.

"Yes." After they agreed, they left two white-robed knights on standby by Asada's side, and the others all ran to the castle town to find a doctor. Even those who had already closed the door were forced to break in and arrest the doctor.

"Naoko, why can't you think about it? Wouldn't it be nice to have a good chat? Chao Ding looked at Naoko, who was very weak in his arms, and was a little sad.

"Your Excellency, you don't have to blame yourself...... I, Naoko Motozawa, have the greatest happiness in my life to meet you......" Naoko closed her eyes after speaking, leaving two lines of tears at the end.

"Naoko!" Chao Ding repeatedly called her name, but unfortunately she couldn't hear it anymore.

"My lord! The doctor has found it! "Namba Hiroyoshi and Kato Duanzo also arrested the three doctors and hurried back. When I entered the house, I saw my lord holding Naoko Motozawa, who was motionless and closed his eyes.

"My lord, please let the villain take a look." A bold physician walked over first, and shook his head after taking Naoko Benzawa's pulse.

"Is there no help?" Chaoding is still holding Naoko, who is gradually getting colder.

"My lord, please forgive the villain's limited medical skills and can't bring this girl back to life." The doctor immediately knelt down, and at a glance he knew that the adult in front of him was not an ordinary person, and it would take him a minute to die.

"Forget it, you guys go down, let me be quiet." Chao Ding waved his hand and told them all to leave.

"Yes, the ministers are leaving." Nambada Hiroyoshi and Kato Duanzo had no choice but to go out, but they didn't want to sleep tonight. They stayed outside with the white-robed knights, and were on call if they were given orders.

Recently, I finally had time to update.,I'm sorry for all book friends.。 I've been a bit busy lately, and I've spent a lot of time sorting out the information.
