235

Humans did not come to this world to kill people.

This statement is similar to the fact that humans were not born to fight.

However, wars that have been going on for more than 100 years often feel difficult to adapt to when they suddenly subside. This abnormal state of mind is clearly the result of a sense of perversion.

When people no longer think that peace is the norm and war is the norm, they fall into a vicious cycle of killing each other until they are destroyed together.

Nothing has changed, and the Warring States period continues......

The fact that the Warring States period was still going on was a very interesting thing for me, who was born with a penchant for eating and drinking and waiting for death.

Instead of sticking to the city and calculating the annual tribute, it is better to gallop on the battlefield and feel the meaning of life.

However, he had to face a very large war scene, when these retainers and subjects could not only destroy their homes, but even their lives could not be saved.

Today's plan must be more considered for these people......

Okay, that's all for gossip.

As a father, I have to give an answer to my daughter's question.

"There are two reasons why we, the military generals from Genji, put down our bodies to serve the Taira clan as an enemy, one is privately, because we want to live a better life......"

"My lord, ...... such a thing"

"Ah Xiang! Now please don't interject just yet! ”

So my wife looked at me questioningly, and I said to my daughter bluntly:

"The most powerful person in this world is undoubtedly the General...... Renli, you just said that I am amazing, but in fact, the truly amazing person is not me, but the general. ”

"Is it because he is in a higher position than you? Father? ”

"It's not just because of the official position, even if he doesn't have an official position, he is the kind of person who can easily defeat me."

Thinking of this, I smiled self-deprecatingly,

"Renli, although your father is a dragon, the general's skills are much more powerful than mine."

"So, father, did you do things for the general because you were afraid of him?"

"That's right! I'm scared of him! ”

In fact, I've always been in awe and fear of Oda Nobunaga, even though I've always complained about him.

"However, although the Shogun scares me, ...... Thanks to Him, I can have the fame, status, land, wealth, and office I have today...... Even your mother and I were able to come together because of his gifts. ”

“……”

"Daughter, you know what? If I don't, everything here won't belong to me anymore...... So in order to live a better life, I decided to bow my head to him......"

“……”

"Well, don't you think your father is useless now?"

"Nope! I still think my father is amazing! After all, you relied on your own strength to hurt this family...... It must be hard, right? Father? ”

"No, I'm not working hard at all."

That being said, I almost didn't cry.

How can it not be hard? I've gone from the past to the present, and every step of the way has been trembling.

It's really not an easy thing to get along with Oda Nobunaga please.

Renli, you can understand my difficulty, I really ...... I was really impressed.

"So, father, what about another reason?"

"Another reason is to unify the world."

"Unify the world?"

"To be precise, the unification of the world is only a means, and our real purpose is to bring peace to the common people in the world!"

"Oh, I see, my mother told me before that as long as there are great people like the general and my father, those bad people will not dare to do bad things, and the people will be able to live a good life, right?"

"Well, that's the truth, if we unify the world, we don't have to fight, and those bad guys who want to fight won't dare to fight without our orders.

Renli, think about it, there is no need to fight, there will be no more dead people, and everyone can live with peace of mind.

Farmers can go to the fields to farm, merchants can buy and sell goods, and fishermen can go out to sea to fish...... Isn't that a good life?

It is precisely so that all the people in the world can live a good life, so that we have been struggling, so that one day this expectation can be turned into reality......

It is this ideal that has brought all of us to the side of the general, regardless of race and family name. ”

"That's an amazing ambition."

It's really remarkable, and I actually believe it myself.

No matter how nice it sounds, in fact, this is still a political marriage that is unfair to her.

I noticed Renli's innocent eyes, and I couldn't help but feel very sad.

Her age is in the future, and she can only be regarded as a junior high school student who has just entered school.

Her innocent little face, so far away from the crazy intrigues of officialdom, is now being sent to a strange family.

This is not just the tragedy of my daughter, all women born into a famous family will face the same fate.

Kahime asked:

"Renli, do you know how to get along with Sen-sama?"

"His daughter will serve him with all her heart. But because I'm my father's daughter......"

"So what?"

"I don't cry when I'm wronged."

In the end, it is the daughter of Oda Gotoku, and there is no such toughness in Xianghime's character.

I felt a little relieved.

"That's good, that's good. You're going to be a strong woman, but don't worry, I have a good relationship with Mori-sama's family. ”

At this time, I remembered her father, Tokugawa Nobuyasu.

"But...... Don't be too stubborn, and don't be at odds with Mori-sama. ”

"I'll get along with Mori-sama, because Mori-sama is my husband."

"When you arrive in Morifu, you have to learn to greet people. When I met Mori-sama's brother......"

"Take care of me."

"Yes, Mori-sama's brother is also a great samurai, and everyone calls him 'Oni Musashi', do you have to respect him?

"Well, but father, he's a ghost, you're a dragon, he shouldn't be your opponent, right?"

"Don't worry about this, we won't fight......

By the way, when you meet Mori-sama's mother, you should be more respectful, because Mrs. Mori is a very remarkable woman, after the death of the father of Mori-sama's brothers, she raised their brothers by herself, and you should treat her like your own mother. ”

"Okay."

"It's like this for your family, but what should you say when you see your retainers?"

Renli shook his head.

Kahime didn't seem to have taught her before.

Although her name is "Renli", she doesn't seem to be familiar with etiquette and the like.

I'm glad I called Renli over.

"After seeing the retainers, you sit upright, just say that you may trouble them in the future, and that's fine."

"Yes. That's it, sit upright. ”

"Yes, yes, that's it. Don't be too docile, don't be too strong......"

I said this and was silent again.

I feel that teaching too much at one time will make Renli unbearable.

After a while, Renli learned etiquette for a while under my demonstration, and then stopped.

Renli was not unhappy at all, as if he was playing in the mountains and rivers.

When Kahime and I sent her to the bottom of the porch, Renli gave a childish salute, and her fingers seemed to be still practicing the sitting posture, and she moved a few times in front of her chest, and was about to walk away.

I said suddenly:

"Wait a minute, Renli!"

"What's the matter, father? Any other commands? ”

"Let's ...... Would you like to let your father hug you again? Because there will be no chance in the future......"

The daughter finally burst into tears.

"Woooooooooo......oo Father...... I don't want to leave you ......"......

Twenty-three years old.

It's all incredible.

If this age is placed in a previous life...... If I'm not mistaken, I'm trying to open a harem at the university.

But in this day and age, I have to arrange lifelong events for my next generation.

Although it was my own idea to marry Renli in the first place, it was really unwillingly to think that Moran Maru, a guy who was only five years younger than me, would abduct my daughter who had been raised for several years like this......

But think about it, my daughter can't stay by my side for the rest of her life, she will get married sooner or later.

Instead of marrying those "local tyrants" who have status, but they don't look good and are too old...... It's better to be cheaper, a person like Moran Maru is handsome and young, and he is still a "rich and handsome" of a high-ranking official of the shogunate.

Anyway, I'm just such a tangled mentality.

The wedding was officiated by Oda Nobutada.

As the shogun, Oda Nobunaga originally wanted to preside over it himself, just like he had done for me and Kahime.

After all, this was the first marriage between high-ranking officials since the establishment of the shogunate, and anyone would pay attention to it.

But don't know why. Oda Nobunaga didn't come in the end, but it was the same when the "prince" came.

Over the past few years, Oda Nobutada's position as his father's successor has become more and more apparent, first rising to the rank of Shosan, and then becoming the first large-scale overseer of land inspection since the establishment of the shogunate.

Actually, the above two are nothing, the key is that the following one is the most scary.

Last month, at the behest of Oda Nobunaga, he actually accepted the son of His Royal Highness Prince Seihito, the crown prince of the emperor, Prince Shuhito, the future Emperor Goyosei, as his adopted son......

(Oda Nobunaga also accepted Prince Seihito as his godson)

To be honest, I've never been able to figure out what you two are trying to make a fuss about--It's fun to play with the future emperor as a son, isn't it?!

In any case, although the current general did not come, the future general came, which is also quite face-saving.

As for the shogunate officials...... The future generals are here, what are you still playing?! Don't be embarrassed.

The four rulers have all arrived, and even Niwa Nagahide has dragged his body tormented by illness over.

As for the others, not to mention.

Seeing so many "political giants" gathered here, I suddenly had a big idea.

If at this time, who accidentally detonated a powerful explosive and put the people in this room ......

Then the entire shogunate is probably left with only Oda Nobunaga, a "light pole commander", playing there.

Phew! On my daughter's big day, what am I thinking about?!

In the end, the wedding ended in a lively atmosphere.

Renli's heart was worried.

I am my father's daughter, and since I have agreed to marry, I must not cause trouble to my family.

As she was thinking, the golden screen standing at the top of the front of the hall shone brightly, making her a little dizzy, because she had never slept well because of the tension of the past few days.

She staggered and hurriedly grabbed the maid's hand.

"Ma'am, please come this way!"

A soft but majestic voice sounded in front of the golden screen.

Renli suddenly came to his senses, and saw that everyone on both sides of the hall bowed their heads one after another. She felt the young man sitting in front of the golden screen move slightly.

That's Mori-sama!

"Husband, the little girl is not talented, please give me more advice in the future."

"Well, come here."

Renli only felt that his skin was very white, whiter than the white paper that his father usually used to write.

But before I could take a closer look, I was pulled to the upper seat.

The respectful voice of the Mori clan retained sounded in her ears, and she knew it was a congratulatory message, but she couldn't hear what he said.

Two thirteen or fourteen-year-old maids took out wine jugs and glasses, and two of them came to Mori-sama and Renli and gave a salute.

"Madam, you drink first."

Mori Lan Maru said softly,

"Women give priority to everything, and it has become an old practice in my family."

His voice is magnetic and pleasant to listen to.

"Madam, it's actually the first time we've met each other, but there's no need to be so restrained in front of me, I've heard people say that if husband and wife are too polite, they won't be able to live that day......"

236

In Yamato Province, south of Kyoto, there is a hill called "Yanagi".

About seventy or eighty years ago, a group of samurai came to live here and built a castle.

That castle was the prototype of Yagyu Sanso (castle), and that group of samurai was the ancestors of the Yagyu family.

The Yanagi family's territory here is thousands of stones, and it is the largest local tyrant in the area, so it is also very prestigious.

The people of the nearby villages were polite to the samurai of the Yagyu family...... However, some people are ......

I saw Nanjie Village (instant noodles?) On the street corner, there was a group of young men who looked at each other angrily, who seemed to be fifteen or sixteen years old.

Since they are angry at each other, that is to say, they have opponents, so these dozen young men are obviously divided into two groups.

It's just that just staring at each other like this seems to be superior, because on one side, there are not only many people and horses (accounting for one-third).

The two are strong), and they are all strong and strong, so even the eyeballs are much bigger, just staring at them so much, the collective essence light that bursts out of the eyes is enough to shock the opponent to the point of immobility.

But, strangely, it's the side that is being coerced. Although the number of people is small (only six or seven), it is more than the number of people

Thin and small, but he is tall and arrogant, as if he is a martial arts master with a peerless knowledge, and he looks so confident in the face of power.

The two sides stared at each other for several minutes, and finally the big man couldn't hold on first.

Larger eyeballs are more likely to get tired.

So, these big men, respectively, winked, slightly

After a break, the most courageous and upright of them all, the chieftain, spoke:

"Dahe, do you understand or don't you understand what I said?"

This great river is the leader of the little man standing in front of this man. The facial features are well-born, and when they are put together like this, they should be regarded as heroic.

But at this moment, he was sneering obliquely, staring at him with a blurred eye, and standing with his legs bent left and right, so that there was only one point left in his heroic spirit, and the anger of the little overlord could rise as much as ten, only to hear him cough first, and with the posture of dominating the world, he said:

"You don't speak 'Ying Grishou' (←_ ← English), I don't understand it, it's just a little fucking slurred,

It's not like I'm stupid. ”

These big men are smoky in their pores. The rested eyeballs suddenly shot out again,

Seeing this, Dahe snorted and sneered twice, and said:

"Fat Tiger (who is messing in again?) ←_←), don't say that your dad is not surnamed Yanagi, even if the surname is Yanagi (

The local lords) are not as arrogant as you. Tell me why you don't allow your grandfather and my gang to mess around in Yanagi Castle, why do you call me such an uncle. ”

Fat Tiger is the leader of this group of big men, and he only heard him snort coldly:

"One palm has only one thumb, and you don't go

Inquire about it, what is the number one person in the town of Yanagi Castle, dare not say hello, just want to make a deal, do you want to die

Be? ”

The reason why Fat Tiger dared to be so arrogant was not only because he was strong, but also because his father was a retainer of the Yanagi family.

Dahe opened his mouth and snorted at the boss first, then stretched out his hands and pouted:

"Lao Tzu has two feet, and this body alone has four thumbs. Anyway, you're the only one in Yanagi City who has a thumb, so the other three of you can go there! ”

As soon as these words came out, all the little ones immediately laughed, and someone sneered:

"Eighty percent of them were stolen and touched dogs, and they were beheaded by the old men of the Yanagi family."

Everyone laughed even more! The fat tiger turned his face dark green and shouted in a deep voice:

"Uncle is pitying you, so he can persuade him, you are shameless, look for a beating!"

As soon as the typing was spoken, the scene was millions, and those big men had already greeted them with their fists, and they all had been sulking for a long time, and all of them poured out of their heads.

Seeing that the other party had sharpened his fists, Dahe chirped: "Fight Luo!" ”

In this country, a dozen people getting together to fight in a group can be counted as fighting.

As soon as he slipped his body, he dodged the fat tiger's hard punch on the head, kicked back, kicked the fat tiger's big buttocks, and said with a smile:

"Let's make a straight mark first."

The fat tiger was kicked and stumbled coldly, turned around suddenly, grabbed Dahe by the collar with his claws, and scolded angrily:

"If I don't kill you, my uncle won't be surnamed Okada (Nani?!) Is it really Takeshi Okada? ）！ ”

With a retraction of his hands, he had already brought Dahe to him, and smashed his fist, trying to smash him three inches shorter.

That knows, Dahe is waiting for this opportunity, he opened his mouth and begged, sprayed the fat tiger with a spittle, and when he couldn't open his eyes, his body twisted, and he had already made the Zhaojin cicada out of his shell, slipped out of his coat, whistled in his mouth, and said with a smile:

"Fat Tiger, there's a kind of chasing grandpa!"

As he spoke, he led the defeated team into the streets.

The fat tiger jumped like thunder while wiping his face clean with the placket of his clothes. With a shout, he took the lead and chased into the alley.

Who would have thought that although the alley was not very long, it was not short, and it was impossible for Dahe and the others to disappear in the blink of an eye!

But even a single figure could not be seen.

Fat Tiger couldn't help but say angrily: "MD, you can run today, you can't run tomorrow." ”

Before the words stopped, the big river had turned out of the bottom of the alley, put his hands on his waist, and said with a smile:

"I'm running for your good, the surname 'Okada' is really not good, it's too rustic, just call me Dad, and I'll change your surname."

It's too much of a bully!!

The fat tiger was furious and rushed over, and Dahe grimaced and pulled away

He waited for him to come, and said with a smile:

"Aha! Let's see the real chapter in the alley......

Fat Tiger said angrily:

"See you!"

But sure enough, it was the bottom of the alley to see the real chapter, the fat tiger came to the river, suddenly heard the strong wind in his ears, and when he screamed badly, the back of his head was already solid and solid, only to hit him black, Venus rose straight up, and he had not yet come back to his senses, and the stick took his head and brain again, and the fat tiger fell to the ground when he landed.

Suddenly, the whole alley was filled with the sound of ping-pong and the sound of mourning, because suddenly dozens of children rose on both sides of the alley, respectively with sticks, stones, bricks, each of them used the strength of feeding, and beat and smashed, only to beat the group of big men holding their heads and running around, which was also miserable.

Dahe saw that the fat tiger group had been almost cleaned up

, that is, he smiled and said:

"Your mother--this is called the plan of the gentleman's alley!"

Facing the fat tiger lying in front, he kicked his feet and shouted:

"Tie this kid up first!"

The kids giggled and tied up the fat tiger and some of the big men who had surrendered. One of the nimble children jumped in front of the river and said with a smile:

"Boss, we can really say that the autumn wind swept away the leaves, but it was a pity that three leaves ran away."

Dahe hit the child and scolded with a smile:

"Enough! Catch this big leaf. That's enough! It's not in vain for me--oops! ”

Before he could get too proud, he was inexplicably beaten by a violent blow.

The Boss of the River was furious.

That bastard was so bold that he dared to hit ...... Dare to fight......

Akane Yanagi, who was wearing a black martial arts uniform, stood there coldly.

The child king suddenly lost the momentum of being the king just now.

"Big ...... Miss...... Hello......"

"What's good?! You people are so noisy here that I can't even take a nap! ”

The fat tiger who was tied up like a dumpling hurriedly begged for help:

"Miss! Help me...... Yes! ”

"I'm annoyed!"

Yanagi gave Fat Tiger a punch, and the latter immediately quieted down.

Don't look at these two people who are usually majestic in front of the younger brother.

When I saw Miss Yanagi, I bowed my head and behaved.

"I'm not interested in ...... things between you two guys"

The two child kings privately slandered:

"Actually, you've been in charge of a lot."

"By the way, shouldn't you be practicing swords in the dojo at this point? How did you run out to play? ”

There is a strong culture of martial arts practice in the Yanagi clan, and the ashram of the Yanagi family is open to the residents of any territory for free.

Even Dahe, an orphan who had no father or mother and grew up working as a carpenter, learned a lot of sword moves in the dojo.

"Miss, don't you know?"

The fat tiger who was beaten by Dahe and Yanagi Qian with a blue nose and swollen face said:

"There are guests in the city, so there are no classes today, and we have a day off."

"Guest?"

"Yes, there are about thirty of them, and the one in the lead said that he was coming to visit the city lord."

"Oh, that's right......"

Liu Shengqian was not surprised at all, there were too many people who wanted to visit the old man in her house.

大河interface says:

"The lord not only met with them, but also tried his swordsmanship with their leader......"

Nani?!

Liu Shengqian was taken aback, the old man hadn't done anything with anyone else for more than ten years! Today it is ......

The eyes of the big river and the fat tiger are starting to sprout little stars.

"Fat Tiger, the master's swordsmanship is too clever, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach that realm in our lifetime, aren't we?"

The two of them seemed to have forgotten the "dragon fight" just now.

"Yes, Dahe, but that man is also so powerful, with two swords in his hand, he fought with the master for a long time and did not lose, and finally had to end in a draw...... It's so handsome, the old man is known as the Sword Master, and he can't even win against him......"

Two swords? So it should be a second stream...... No, no, no, that's not the point!

"Fat Tiger, what did you just say?! That person can be compared to the old man?! ”

"Ahem, ahem...... Miss, can you loosen my neckline first? …… I'm almost speechless......" ......

"Wise Lord, it's a shame that Yanagi Villa is a remote and poor place, and I can't bring out anything good to entertain your guests...... Old man here, replacing wine with tea is not a tribute, please bear with me. ”

Yanagi Shizhouzhai is obviously a year older than his father, but he looks as young as a person in his thirties and forties.

"Where, we took the liberty to visit and disturb the purity of your village."

It doesn't matter how you entertain you, but it's really exciting to be able to fight with a "martial arts master" like Yanagi Shizhouzhai today!

On our side, apart from Kojiro Sasaki, who is also a sword master, can still keep his calm, the people of the Shinsengumi and the Hosokawa family are still fascinated - they have not yet recovered from the wonderful duel just now.

To be honest, I didn't feel like my cultivation had reached the point where I could compete with Yanagi Shizhouzhai.

In the duel just now, I didn't use the family tradition of "Wise Mirror Flow", but instead used the Second Knife Flow.

The characteristic of the second sword flow is that the two swords can form a "protective circle" when they are crossed together, and the simultaneous attack can be "two-pronged" to make the opponent unable to defend -- that is to say, it can achieve the goal of "attacking and defending in an all-way."

This is exactly the right thing for me to play the tactical intent of "defending and counterattacking".

Because of the swordsmanship competition, I couldn't deal with Yanagi Shizhouzhai no matter what, so I simply played the "** tactic" -- only defended and did not attack, and accompanied the old man to consume physical strength.

So, after playing for more than half an hour, the old man was stunned that he didn't get any bargains, but he was already in his fifties, and he couldn't spend it with me like this anymore.

It simply ended in a draw.

Because I felt that it would be an honor to be able to draw with the Juggernaut, I didn't say much.

Although I didn't think it was a big deal, Yagyu Ishishusai and Sasaki Kojiro were amazed by what I had just done.

You know, being able to defend so closely is also a great realm!
