The wind blew softly through the open windows on all sides, and it was intoxicatingly cool. The moon hangs on the mountains to the south, shining its light on the dense forest. Everything is so quiet at this time, and being in the middle of it makes people inevitably detach from all things and forget all their troubles.

I'm sitting here alone, enjoying it all alone. Oh, yes! What a secluded environment, but I haven't been in the mood to appreciate it for a long time. Now all of a sudden, such a state of mind has emerged, am I getting old? It seems to be good if people are old enough to just recover the feeling of relaxation like this. My hand suddenly touched a brocade box on the side and held it in front of me.

This is a five-inch long and two-inch wide brocade box, and the cover of the Shu brocade jade buckle can be said to be extremely gorgeous. I sighed at this brocade box, such a good thing is going to be given away today, it seems that my mundane troubles can't be put aside as I get older.

There were seven or eight small dishes on the small table in front of him, each of which contained the same exquisite side dishes, and there were four celadon wine bottles on the side, and the caps could not seal the faint aroma of wine wafting out. There were also two sets of cutlery on the table, but they were not touched. "Why haven't you come yet?" I looked at my pocket watch, and it was already half past eight.

"My lord, His Royal Highness Changzong has come down!" Goto Matabei's voice came from a square hole in the center of the floor, which connected to the stairs below.

"Ask him to come up!" I put away my pocket watch and said.

A series of footsteps accompanied by the creak of the thin wooden staircase, the big black head of the head of the Changzong and my clan came out of the square hole. "It's too late to be summoned by you, it's really rude!" He was a little surprised to see that I was the only one in this almost pavilion-like room.

"The good time to enjoy the moon has just begun, how can it be said that it is too late!" I invited him to take a seat and shouted downstairs, "It's okay to leave a maid to serve the food, you all stand down!" ”

"I didn't expect His Royal Highness Yuzhou to have such a Yaxing between Rong Ma and Yuzhou, what kind of people came from Kyoto!" The head of the sect sighed, but it sounded a little sarcastic.

"I'm not from Kyoto, but I just love the laid-back style there!" I said with a casual laugh, not taking this level of ridicule as malice. "Many people think that Kyoto is arrogant and pretentious, but they don't know that this is the only way to live. Life is too short to rush dozens of cold and summer, so why drive yourself too tired! ”

"Live, live, His Royal Highness Yuzhou said it really well!" Changzong's relatives smiled hehehe, and they didn't seem to appreciate my affection. "Of course, people who are so commanding in the world as Oda Uchifu and His Royal Highness Yushu can indulge in 'life', but people like us can only fight to 'live' every day. Maybe many people will think that I am greedy and not enough......"

"Your Highness Changzong and my department, in fact, there are some things that you don't have to tell me, because I can't be the master if I do!" I picked up a flask and filled it for him and myself, and then saluted him: "Today, I will enjoy the moon with His Highness, and I can say something irresponsible, even if I have some complaints." It's just that even if I agree to drink, I can't do it accurately, so please don't be surprised by this, Your Highness! "Anyway, I'll take a cup and dry it first.

"His Royal Highness Yuzhou is so frank that I have nothing to say!" He looked up at me and drank it all down. "Cough, cough, cough......" I didn't expect it to be such a strong drink, and he choked and coughed violently. Unexpectedly...... His Royal Highness Yuzhou...... You're so good at drinking......" he said, wiping tears from the corners of his eyes.

"This is the 'Kanto Koyaki' imported from the Ming Kingdom, and it is much stronger than turbid wine!" I picked up a wine bottle and shook it and said to him: "This wine is like fire in the mouth but sweet after the end, I think it should be very suitable for a hero like His Royal Highness Changzong and my department!" ”

"I am impressed by His Royal Highness Yuzhou!" He took a sip of the soup and pressed it. "Drinking and gambling are the most temperamental, and I think Your Highness can understand my suffering!"

"I don't dare to say that I understand, but I have always admired a hero like you who strives for self-improvement!" I took a piece of sushi and put it in my mouth, and the fresh sea bream meat left a fragrant smell on the tip of my teeth. "I have lacked such perseverance since I was a child, and I don't know how many times I have been taught by my parents. The only thing that has remained unchanged for so many years is that I am obsessed with the enjoyment of life, and there is really nothing I can't see! ”

"It seems that His Royal Highness and Zaixia are not all the way......" Changzong and my head relatives drank again, and this time because they were prepared, they behaved normally.

Then the stairs rang again, and a maid came up with a black lacquer tray. She put down a plate of grilled dried yellow croaker and removed a plate of cuttlefish sashimi that remained only as remain.

"Actually, I don't think it's necessary to force people into 'roads', hoping for more things is a normal idea that everyone has!" After the maid stepped back, I smiled and said, probably feeling a little excited about the drinking. "Your Highness's sudden rise to prominence this time is eye-catching, and there must have been a lot of gains, right?"

"It's okay, about sixty or seventy thousand stones!" The head of the Changzong clan is not modest, but there is no smug in the slightest. "My family has worked hard for several generations, and this is why Tosa is unified today. But Miyoshi, Hosokawa, and Saionji are surrounded by four corners, and it's really hard to survive! For this reason, we can only continue to fight and fight, if nothing else, but to continue to survive! ”

"What Your Highness said is right, the world has indeed been like this since the Yingren Rebellion!" I put down my glass and nodded, and then said with deep sympathy: "My original interest was to be a businessman, and it was a pleasure to be able to have three meals between the plants. I don't want the world to be unpredictable, I joined the army by mistake, and I actually mixed up with the tide to this day! ”

"Such a situation as His Royal Highness Yuzhou, I'm afraid that many people can't ask for it after several lifetimes of cultivation!" Changzong's relatives of my department smiled again.

"Of course, seeing today's results is so, but the hardships encountered along the way are also terrifying!" Once again, I ignored the "thorn" in his words and made a look of obsessing with the past. "I remember that the first time I went out of battle was with His Royal Highness the Inner Mansion to attack the barrel narrow, and almost everyone thought it was a road of no return in the wind and rain. The miracle happened at the end, but it was also a life-and-death event, and I definitely wouldn't want to try it a second time if I had the choice. Since I embarked on this road, I have hardly stopped, and I finally saw a glimmer of light today! ”

"Which of the generals in the troubled times is not like this, and if he can succeed all the time, I am afraid that it can only be explained by the favor of God!" Finally, a little emotion appeared on the face of the head relatives of the Changzong Sect, and I was indeed happy in my heart for this insignificant achievement.

"God's favor, Your Highness really said it well!" I nodded again and took a glass. "His Royal Highness Oda Uchifu is my lord, and I have always believed that he has been blessed by the heavens to get to where he is today. Even a small citizen of is afraid that it can be seen now that there is hope for peace in the world! I can't think of any other explanation than the favor of the heavens, what do you think, Your Highness Changzong? ”

He didn't speak this time, but took up his glass as if he were going to drink. But even with my already somewhat dazed drunken eyes, I noticed that the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

"If Your Highness doesn't believe it, let's put it another way, I don't know how many troops you used to attack with all your strength this time?" I didn't continue to expand the play, this time I sandwiched a piece of fried shrimp and put it in my mouth.

"It's in your early 20,000s...... That's all my power already! "He told me open-mindedly, but in fact, he couldn't hide this kind of thing.

"Is it far from here?" I asked suddenly.

"Stationed in Yijiao Cheng, less than 10 miles away from here...... Speaking of the half-section of the head of the sect, the head of the sect suddenly realized something, and his pupils dilated suddenly and narrowed instantly. He slowly narrowed his eyes as he looked at me, as if he was about to make up his mind.

"According to what Your Highness just said, in the face of the pressure of Miyoshi, Hosokawa, and Saionji, you have to rise up and fight!" I pretended not to see his abnormal behavior, and said as I ate with my head down. "So let's assume that you have all wiped out these people, so is that the end of it? There are also Utsunomiya in Zhongyu, Kono in Kitayu, and Shihe in Zanqi, these people have to face, do you give up at this point? Impossible! You have to fight one battle after another, risking defeat against these enemies. All right! These enemies were also eliminated, and new ones naturally popped up again. Is it better for your life to go on like this? ”

"So what? Isn't this how people should live to be meaningful? "The voice of the elder sect of my ancestor became low and hoarse, but I obviously felt that his anger was gradually rising." Since ancient times, one stubble after another samurai have gone forward and fought for the righteousness of the world! This is the way of survival of the samurai, and they will go forward until they die......"

"The righteousness of the world? It's really nice to say, it should be the world's big 'position'! "I still didn't look at him, but I burst out laughing." Not bad! That position is indeed extremely attractive, but how many of them can successfully sit on it? Those who can fight a bloody way out of the army of 10,000 horses really have to be a little favored by God. More than ten years ago, maybe everyone was at a roughly equal starting point, but how many are left who have the strength to win the championship today? I'm here to say a word that I'm not afraid of Your Highness Changzong and my department: Even if you win 10 more victories in a row, it's just a little more prolonged the **** in the world. Do you think this makes sense? ”

"His Royal Highness Yuzhou is really sure, it seems that he has set this world for His Royal Highness the Inner Palace!" The face of the Yuan Qin of the Changzong Department had completely sunk, as if he was hanging heavily from the two lead blocks. "My sect and my sect can kill the Tosa Seven family alone, and I never thought about leaving any way back for myself. We have no precedent in the past for surrendering without a fight, and we will ...... in the future."

"Since you are so confident, then I will not persuade you anymore!" I picked up the brocade box at hand, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of him. "A little gift is really not a tribute!"

"His Royal Highness Yuzhou...... That's so kind! He narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Whether or not to accept it is up to Your Highness, you might as well take a look first!" He opened the lid for him as he spoke.
