181—182 The Love of Wise Zuo Majie (End)

…… 181 What did Ah Jing talk about with the "Ghost Warrior"? I won't write about this, and then some "deep love and rainy" plots are estimated to be dissatisfied with some readers———— how did it become a romance novel?!

In the summer of the seventh year of Tensho, an uninvited guest came to Azuchi Castle.

"What...... What...... What the hell are you talking about? Will the Araki father and son be my enemies? Akechi Mitsuhide looked at his daughter in disbelief.

"Exactly! Soon after, they were ready to raise an army to rebel against His Highness, so they asked me to leave the child behind and leave the concubine alone...... That's why they came back with me on leave. ”

Akechi Mitsuhide almost wondered if he had heard it wrong? How could Araki Murashige rebel against Nobunaga? Murashige should be actively participating in Sakuma Nobumori's Ishiyama strategy now! ……

On the contrary, the wise Kogoro on the side sneered and said nothing.

"Daughter! What the hell is going on? The more you talk about me, the more confused I become. In the first month of this year, the village dignitaries also sent someone to send a New Year's gift, and we, the old ministers, also drank at the same table, and returned to the heart's content! You said! How could he do such a thing? ”

At this time, Ah Jing, who has a stubborn personality, smiled and said:

"There are always times when things are unexpected. Since you asked, then I'll tell you! ”

"That's right! Tell me quickly, how did Murashige want to rebel against Nobunaga because of that dissatisfaction? ”

"According to my speculation, it may be the result of the temper of His Highness the Inner Palace."

"His Royal Highness's temper?"

"Yes! His Royal Highness is good when he is good, but once he is suspicious of someone, not only will he not take the initiative to untie the knot in his heart, but he will always treat each other very harshly, so he can be said to be a harsh person. On the surface, he believes in the people of the world very much, but in the bottom of his heart, he is wary of everyone. ”

"Daughter! I don't understand you when you say that. Let's be clear! Why is that stubborn village heavy afraid of His Royal Highness the Inner Palace? ”

"Yes! Here's the thing. During the siege of Osaka in Sakuma-sama last year, my father-in-law and his younger brother Kiyohide Nakagawa secretly used a boat to carry rice and grain to sell to the enemies in the city. ”……

Akechi Mitsuhide stood by the moat, and after a while, Miyake Miheiji walked over.

"My lord, are you looking for me?"

"Well, I've already asked the lord for his life, and this time I'll attack the Araki family." Akechi Mitsuhide's face was calm, and he couldn't see anything wrong, "Yaheiji, because Uchizosuke is infected with the wind and cold, he can't go out with the army, so this time the vanguard officer, I plan to let you take the position." ”

"Okay, I'll do my best."

"Well, I'm relieved that you can do things...... By the way, there is one more thing I want to ask you for. ”

"Your Excellency, please speak."

"According to the order of the lord, Fukion married Nobusumi Gongmi, Ah Jing married Araki Muraji, Asuki married to the Tsutsui family, and Tamako married to the Hosokawa family...... The four marriages were all arranged by him, Fuyin and Yuzi are fine, but Ah Jing was abandoned by her husband's family, and Qianxue became a ** at a young age, did the two of them get happiness? …… Yaheiji, I've already decided. From now on, I will think of the interests of my family and marry my daughter to someone who I think is in our best interest. You say, how can I let my daughter continue to be used by Mr. Neifu? ”

Miyake Miheiji just looked sideways at Akechi Mitsuhide, not understanding what was going on in his heart at all. On his young cheeks, there was a clear look of bewilderment. And the bridge of his tall nose is a bit similar to the wise Mitsuhide of his youth.

"Asa Xue has now seen through the world, and has learned from Kogoro and Tamako to believe in the Nanban Sect, and she doesn't want to ask about the world anymore, let alone marry again...... What religion the children are willing to believe, I, as a father, don't want to care, but I want them to be happy rather than live a life in the green lantern scrolls, so I can't let Ah Jing walk on the road of light snow, so I decided to find a good husband for Ah Jing while there is still time now. ”

Seeing Akechi Mitsuhide looking at him expectantly, Miyake Miheiji finally understood what his uncle meant.

"Lord, allow me to think about it."

"Huh?" Wise Mitsuhide was extremely surprised, he knew the relationship between Mi Pingci and his daughter, and Mi Pingci had not set up a main room over the years, and there were only two concubines in the family......

"What? You don't want to be with Ah Jing, or rather, you dislike him for being a married woman. ”

"Nope! No! My heart for Princess Jing will never change, but ...... I haven't been ready to face Princess Jing for a while...... Lord, please give me some time to think about it. ”

"Okay." ……

On this day, Miyake Yaheiji rode a horse galloping on the shores of Lake Biwa.

Miyake Yaheiji rode his horse, galloping through the horse farm like a gale, and from time to time he looked at the sweat oozing from the horse's neck. Although Ah Jing is back, Miyake Yaheiji has instead put all his energy into the cultivation of martial arts. Of course, there was a time when he indulged in the Kyoto dance that was popular in Kyoto, but that didn't make him forget himself completely. He always felt that Ah Jing was staring at him pitifully all the time.

Ah Jing, wait a little longer......

At that moment, rain suddenly began to fall in the sky.

Miyake often walked horses around Lake Biwa and often had to deal with sudden rain and snow, so he built a hut by the lake.

Before entering the hut again, Miyake Yaheiji and his beloved horse "Big Hairy Deer" were drenched in heavy rain, and the horse would not be fine, anyway, it would not be winter and nothing would happen, but people couldn't stand it.

Miyake Yaheiji trembled and lit a fire inside the hut, and when he added a piece of charcoal to the brazier, there was a sound of horses' hooves outside the house, and then a voice came: "Is there anyone inside?" I want to go in and hide from the rain! ”

Miyake Yaheiji replied without thinking, "Please come in." ”

The man was dressed decently, and he had a feather weave on the outside, but it was already drenched in soup.

As soon as he came in, he quickly sat down next to the brazier, it seemed that he was indeed frozen, and Miyake Yaheiji enthusiastically handed him the towel he had just used and now dried.

The man was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to accept such a worn and old towel, but after a sneeze, he didn't care about it and used it directly.

After a while, he was completely roasted, and he suddenly asked:

"What's your name?"

His tone was a little arrogant, and Miyake Yaheiji felt a little uncomfortable, but he still answered him:

"I'm Miyake Miheiji of the wise family."

"Wise?" The man was a little surprised, but then relieved, "That's right, it's very close to Sakamoto Castle...... Yes...... Your name is Yahei Miyake, right? I've heard your name, you've made a name for yourself in this Araki Raid, and you've got a great art of crossing Lake Biwa on your own, right? ”

Miyake Yaheiji was about to answer, when someone outside the house shouted, "Lord! Lord! ”

It turned out that at some point, the rain had stopped.

"Looks like I've got to go," the man stood up, "but ...... Having said all that, don't you ask me who I am? ”

"It's just a meeting in Pingshui, there's no need for that." Miyake Miheiji smiled, in fact, he also guessed the other party's samurai identity.

"Hehe, what an interesting person, the next time we meet, I hope to see with my own eyes what you look like riding across the lake...... By the way, don't follow the Ten Guards...... Your lord spoke of his encounter with me. ”

What is the origin of this guy? There are not many people in the world who dare to call their lords "Ten Soldiers...... Wait a minute! He is ......

Miyake Yahei looked at it again, and Oda Nobunaga had already ridden away on horseback.

By the time Miyake Yaheiji met Oda Nobunaga again, it was already winter that year, and the location was Azuchi Castle.

"Haha...... Mr. Miyake, isn't it a surprise, I must have never dreamed that the person who roasted the fire with you a few months ago would be your lord's father-in-law, Oda Nobunaga and me, hahahahahahaha......ha

"Yes, there were a lot of offends that day, and the little ones were terrified." Miyake was tempted to say that he had already guessed it, but he had also heard from Akechi Mitsuhide that if Oda Nobunaga was disappointed or even angry, it would have terrible consequences.

"Well, I'll show you something first." At the beckoning of Oda Nobunaga, the attendants placed a strange thing in front of Miyake Yaheiji.

"Your Highness, what is this?" Miyake Yahei looked left and right, and was sure that he had never seen this thing before.

"It's very strange, right, this thing is not available in our Japan, it was given to me by the Nanban." ……

Nanban? Miyake Yaheiji is no stranger to this term, very early, he followed Akechi Mitsuhide to Sakai Port, where the Nanban people bought the iron cannon, later, the young master, the young lady, Princess Tamako, Princess Asuesuki all believed in the Nanban religion, the people in the family or out of flattery, or for some other reason, also followed the trend, a few years ago, there was a Nanban named Hoch Pastore, and I don't know what benefits were given to the young master, the young master after a fierce debate, despite the opposition of the elders in the family, They were allowed to preach in their territory, although they were asked to write some "five oaths" and ask them to keep to themselves...... But, who knows what kind of heart those guys who look like demons and monsters?!

But what's this thing in front of you? I've never seen it, but I know that the Nanban people have iron cannons, clocks, pianos (the big key piano invented in Europe not long ago, which belongs to the predecessor of the modern piano), and Jinping Sugar...... By the way, and the "God" they talk about every day!

This thing seems to be a ball, with a picture on it, and Nanban characters written on it, and the upper and lower ends of the ball are supported by a shaft.

Seeing that Miyake Miheiji never saw the name of this, Oda Nobunaga smiled slightly,

"This thing is called a globe by the Nanbanians...... Do you know? In the saying of the Southern Barbarians, the earth we are on is a ball, and its name is the earth......"

"Ah?!!!! Ball! Miyake Yaheiji's reaction was more surprised and surprised, "If the world is a ball, then won't the person standing under the ball fall?" ”

"Hahahahaha...... To be honest, I don't really understand (Newton was born many years later), but the young master of your family, that is, Kogoro, didn't react as much as you when he saw this thing, on the contrary, he also told me that the longitude lines of this globe, that is, the vertical lines drawn on it, were not drawn correctly. ”

(This should be explained, after the theory of the circle of the earth was confirmed, for a long time, the zero meridian was in the "capital" of Catholicism, the Vatican, after the Industrial Revolution, many countries defined their capital as the point where the zero meridian is located, and it was not until much later that Greenwich, England was determined to be "punctuality", and the protagonist does not seem to know these things)

"That's not all, he even told me that there were two places on the south side of the globe that had not been drawn, and I thought he was talking nonsense, but soon after, the priest Freud told me that according to their doctrine, there was indeed a continent in the south, but they had not discovered it until now...... Has your young master always been so eccentric? ”

"......" Miyake Miheiji also felt that his young master had indeed been a little weird over the years, but then again, what was weird about him, he couldn't say as a writer.

"Okay, Kogoro's matter will be put aside for now, let's talk about your business, this is also the purpose of my visit to you today."

"My business?"

"I've heard that your equestrian skills are quite good, and your Soma skills are also first-class, so he should stop serving the Ten Guards, come and be my retainer, serve as my cavalry commander as the elder of the family, and I will also hand over the duties of the horse to you, and give you another city as a fief, how about it?"

Almost without any hesitation, Miyake Yaheiji spoke:

"Your Highness the Inner Palace, thank you for your kindness, but I can't accept it."

"What? Think I gave you too little? ”

"No, no, no, Your Highness the Inner Palace, the conditions you have opened are very rich, but my parents died when I was a child, and my father-in-law raised me, so I can't betray him in Xia no matter what, please understand!"

"Humph! Just because the Ten Guards raised you, you sold him for the rest of your life? Hum! You people just pay too much attention to feelings! Oda Nobunaga glared at Miyake Miheiji unhappily, and he patted the tatami mat on the ground with his hand, "In my opinion, the most worthless thing in this world is this love!" ”

Miyake Heiji lowered his head and didn't speak, and Oda Nobunaga's words made him feel unimpressed.

If a person doesn't even pay attention to the most basic feelings, then what else is there to pay attention to? It seems that what the outsiders said is not wrong, although His Royal Highness the Inner Mansion is both civil and military, and eloquent, he is a person who is unrighteous and unrighteous, and this kind of person is not worthy of my service at all!

(Actually, the author thinks,Love and righteousness,The views of big people and ordinary people are different,Oda Nobunaga, as a person who came out of the bloody storm,It's inevitable to be ruthless.,But he's definitely not a ruthless person.,Otherwise, he would have been rejected by everyone a long time ago.,Everyone betrayed his relatives and left.,It's just that his feelings are not easy to be seen.,People like Miyake Yaheiji can't understand it.。 )

"Since you don't want to work for me, then I can't help it...... By the way," Oda Nobunaga suddenly changed his words, "I heard that you have a relationship with Shibei's daughter Ai Jing, the woman who used to marry Araki Muraji, right?" ”

"......" is something that cannot be said.

"However, I took it upon myself to marry her to someone else...... Miheiji-sama, do you hate me very much? Oda Nobunaga asked suddenly.

"Ah...... Don't dare! Miyake Yahei kowtowed in fear.

"Don't dare...... Just because you don't dare doesn't mean you haven't had this idea," Oda Nobunaga said aggressively, "Say, have you ever had the desire to kill me?!!! ”

This time, even Moriranmaru, who was sitting on the side, was stunned, and Oda Nobunaga stared at Miyake Yaheiji with a pair of eagle eyes, and the latter felt a pang of suffocating pain.

After a long time, Miyake Yaheiji finally replied with difficulty: "Yes, for a long time after Ah Jing got married, I was resentful of Your Highness the Inner Mansion in my heart, and I also had the idea of killing you......"

"Bold !!" Mori Lanmaru suddenly burst out, pulled out his knife and faced Miyake Yaheiji, and said with an angry expression: "His Royal Highness Zuo is the elder of the family, and His Royal Highness the general is the beloved son-in-law of the lord, as a retainer, you guy, have such a rebellious heart, what crime should you be guilty of?!!! ”

As the best "ally" of Wise Kogoro in the "court", Mori Ranmaru is still very skillful in speaking, not only in the name of Miyake Yaheiji, but also in the name of the wise father and son, hoping that Oda Nobunaga will let go of this guy who can't speak in the face of the old minister and son-in-law.

"Ranmaru! Sit down! Put the knife away! There's nothing to do with you here! Just sit on the side for me! ”

After drinking the Moriran Maru, Oda Nobunaga asked Miyake Yaheiji, "So, what now?" Do you still hate me? ”

"No, after that, I followed the lord to fight in the south and the north, and fought in the east and west, I saw more of the world, and I came into contact with more things, I understand, in fact, in the whole world, there are too many poor people who are separated from their wives and families, and there are too many poor people who have died in their families, in comparison, I can still enjoy life without worrying about food and clothing......"

"Is it because you see someone who is more unfortunate than you that you feel happy? Hum! What a reason! ”

"I don't mean that in the next, I feel that there are seven hardships in the world, those who are separated from their wives, my pain is actually nothing, and I can still enjoy the happiness of food, women, and even battles leisurely...... When the pain is alleviated, my hatred for Your Highness will be reduced until it disappears...... So, I don't hate you anymore. ”

"Is this what you mean?" Oda Nobunaga was still staring at each other.

"Yes, I've thought about it now."

Oda Nobunaga finally stretched his brows and said with a smile: "You didn't suddenly want to open it, but the amount of weapons as a samurai has increased, in the eyes of open-minded people, there is no need to pay attention to these small things at all, and only people who are not enough will be entangled for some petty profits, for example, this time Araki father and son are such people...... Yaheiji, it seems that you are more qualified than Araki Muraji to be the son-in-law of Jubei, and when you go back, you will marry his daughter, and it will be my order. ”

"His Royal Highness Xie Neifu."

"My favorite thing is Nobunaga, who is a person with good measure, but it's a pity that you insist on not being used by me, otherwise I will definitely stay with people like you, in that case, I will apply for an official position for you in the imperial court, so that you can marry the daughter of Jubei in a decent capacity...... Since you are a capable person who understands horses, then serve as the left horse under the positive six. ”

"His Royal Highness Xie Neifu is very kind!" ……

"Lord, young master, please entrust Princess Jing to me."

When Miyake Miheiji solemnly made this request to Akechi Mitsuhide, Akechi Kogoro was also present.

"Yaheiji, your brain is in water?! What stupid thing to say all of a sudden?! ”

"Kogoro shut up! …… Is Yaheiji really? Are you willing to accept Ah Jing and be my son from now on? ”

"Yes."

Why do I suddenly have a cheap brother-in-law?

Wise Kogoro stood up while scolding, "I'm too lazy to take care of the marriage, but ...... Ah Jing is my own sister, so I have to ask her what she means. ”

"Hahaha, isn't it ridiculous that a woman who has been divorced for less than half a year is about to remarry? That's weird! , Kogoro, father, Yaheiji, have the three of you been sleepwalking lately? Or maybe something is wrong? Hahaha......"

This was Ah Jing's reaction.

"So you're not going to say yes? Then I'll tell Brother Ya Pingci what you mean, and let him rest where it's cool. See you later! "Wise Kogoro doesn't seem to care, anyway, he's just here to ask for opinions, not to be a matchmaker.

"Who says I don't marry? Stand for me, you boy! Seeing that her brother was leaving, Ah Jing hurriedly grabbed him......

"Congratulations, Zuo Majie, you must be kind to my sister in the future!" I ...... to the groom's official Miyake Oh no, it's time to change the title.

Because this marriage has the meaning of redundancy, Miyake Yaheiji abandoned his original surname, changed his surname to Ake, and took the word "hide" from the name of his father-in-law Akechi Mitsuhide, and changed his name to "Akechi Hideman", plus the official position that Oda Nobunaga applied for for him, his official name was "Akechi Sama Hideman".

The long-lost "Oni Warrior" has finally appeared!

Xiangji also said to Ah Jing: "You must be happy." ”

(Xiang Ji: I can't imagine that a person like me, who doesn't have many opportunities to appear in the main story, can still make a scene in such an extra-specific chapter, I really don't know if I should thank the author.) )

"Well, it's going to be happy."

So. That's it.

(End of "The Love of the Wise Left Masuke")
