Usami Nami looked at Li Xiao's expression unchanged, and said with a straight face: "If Allah already knows the identity of His Majesty. ”

Li Xiao clasped his hands to his chest, put the wine glass to his lips, sipped it gently, and then spoke: "In fact, I have been suspicious for a long time, according to my investigation, at that time, the Uesugi family will imprison all the Usami clan in Biwa Island City for the crime of treason, if you are really the second son of the Biwa Island Palace, you will definitely be strictly guarded, but Your Excellency easily escaped, this is one of the suspicions." And your age is only twenty years old, and the real Usami Katsuyuki is already thirty years old, which is suspicious that you can't match this age. ”

Usaminami asked: "Since the lord has long been suspicious, why do you still use your subordinates as military advisors and counselors for military aircraft?" ”

Li Xiao replied: "That's because you made a meritorious mission to the Shiina family, and I deliberately sent you to the Shiina family at that time, because I knew that the Usami family had a good relationship with the Shiina family, so if you were a fake, the people of the Shiina family would definitely recognize your identity." But you have done a great job, and the mission I have given you makes me a little more suspicious of you. ”

Usami Nami suddenly realized that she didn't expect Li Xiao to let him become a famous master, which was a temptation for him, but it was precisely because she met Kosuke Shiina that she was fooled by a mistake.

But in the end, it was Kosuke Shiina who exposed her identity to Li Xiao.

Thinking of this, Usami Nami couldn't help but smile bitterly, when Kosuke Shiina proposed to him, he was very sincere, and after being rejected, he still maintained the courtesy of a samurai, claiming that if she was not married, she would like to keep the position of the main room empty.

This sentiment moved Usami a lot.

Later, after he was recognized by him, he never threatened him.

However, since Li Xiao seized Xinchuan County, the Shiina family has declined from the original 100,000 stone-level daimyo to the current 5,000 stone Zhixing, and the disparity in its status is huge, which has made Shiina Kosuke change a lot.

When they were Li Xiao's retainers in Tongshi, the two had a meeting, and at that time, the Shiina Kosuke that Usami saw was not like a person in his early thirties, and his appearance was as old as forty years old.

And when the other party saw him, he also looked evasive, as if the two were strangers.

On the other hand, Li Xiao in front of him, who would have thought that when he first met the other party, he was only a 20,000 stone-level retainer of the Takeda family, and within eight years, he would become a lord-level daimyo of the 400,000 stone country, and he was an opponent that even Uesugi Kenshin was helpless.

Who can say clearly about the situation.

At the moment, although Kosuke Shiina betrayed himself, Usami Nami didn't blame him much, knowing that it was the other party's self-preservation. In the current environment, as the head of the Shiina family, he should think more about the future of the Shiina family, so he has no choice but to choose to keep his family more pragmatically.

Thinking of the things that have been blocked in my heart for many years, now it is finally time to have an explanation, Usami Nami has never felt easier, anyway, now she chooses no matter what.

Usami Nami said frankly to Li Xiao: "Now that the identity of the subordinate has been revealed, it was not out of the minister's wish to conceal the lord's affairs before, so everything is left to the lord's fate." ”

Li Xiao laughed when he heard this, his mouth was quite playful, and he said: "Listen to Faluo, do you mean that I can do anything with you?" ”

Li Xiao's words sounded a little light, and with his eyes looking up and down, there was no need to say anything, so that Usami understood what he meant.

And Usami Nami met Li Xiaozhi's gaze, smiled faintly, and said: "Lord, Your Majesty has followed your side for eight years, and I have some understanding of the Lord. Actually, my lord, I can tell that you're not a good woman, are you? ”…,

"How so?" Li Xiao asked rhetorically.

Usami Minami said: "With the status of the lord today, there will definitely be no shortage of women around you, even if you don't reveal this meaning, but there are people with ulterior motives under your command to offer you beautiful women, or there are opportunities for women to take the initiative to charm with women, there will never be less." As far as his subordinates know, except for the two ladies, the lord has no other fishing. ”

"Presumably, this is because the lord respects the two ladies and cultivates himself at the same time. Similar to tonight, on the main hall, the lord only needs to nod his head, and any unmarried woman can take what he wants, but the lord did not choose to stay in the hall and came to the castle tower alone to drink, but gave the opportunity to his subordinates. This is not the work of a good woman. ”

Li Xiao laughed when he heard this, and said: "You also think too highly of me, it is precisely because you see through this that you came to confess to me today, which shows that your appearance is very confident, and of course you know how to protect yourself." But ......"

Li Xiao suddenly changed his words, looked at Usami Minami, and said: "However, you are wrong, I am not a bad woman, but there are not many women in the world who can be looked down on." ”

Usami understood the meaning of Li Xiao's words, her body tightened, and she stepped back slightly.

Li Xiao couldn't help but smile when he saw the other party's natural self-protection action, leaning forward a little more, but approaching Usami a few points.

At this moment, Usami Nami's eyes showed a little panicked look

Li Xiaoyou smiled and said: "You are my staff, and your wisdom is highly valued by me, and among women, there are people who are as smart as you, not to mention whether there are any, even there are few men in the family who can compare." And if your appearance is really as beautiful as rumored, and you are the best in the queen, then do you think it's possible for me, as a normal man, to let you go? ”

Since the two were extremely close, Li Xiao could clearly see that Usami's pupils contracted rapidly, which was obviously a look of surprise.

Li Xiao smiled and asked, "What are you panicking about?" Do you think I'm lying? ”

Usami looked at Li Xiao, a little calm, and said, "Of course I don't doubt what the lord said, but I didn't expect you to be so frank." ”

Li Xiao sneered, sat down again, and said, "When you speak to smart people, you must not lie." And I don't have any need to lie to you right now. ”

Usami nodded, it was true that Li Xiao didn't have to lie to herself, so she simply calmed down and waited for Li Xiao's final decision.

Li Xiaozheng said with a smile: "You are my important staff and know our military aircraft, so it is absolutely impossible for me to let you go, now you only have two choices, the first is to become my concubine and serve me for life, as for the second choice...... I don't think you need to say anything, you should be able to understand. ”

After listening to Li Xiao's answer, Usami did not have a surprised expression, but looked at Li Xiao with tears faintly flashing in her eyes.

Finally, Usami smiled as if laughing at herself, and said: "Maybe the conceited and smart must make mistakes, I thought I could hide it from the lord, but I didn't expect to be wrong from the beginning, how can there be an eternal secret in the world." ”

Usami took a deep breath, touched the tears from the corners of her eyes, and regained her calm in her words, saying: "I am not afraid of death, from the moment the Usami family fell, I only lived to avenge my father and brother, so death may not be a relief, the only pity is that I can't see the day when Uesugi Kenshin dies." ”

At the mention of Uesugi Kenshin, Usami Nami's eyes showed a hint of hatred, but then she shook her head helplessly, her eyes showed a look of self-harm and self-pity, and said: "But I still failed after all, if I am not a woman, it would be good if I was a man, then I could take revenge and regain my family name." ”…,

After saying that, Usami Nami reached out and grabbed the hilt of the ribbed knife around her waist.

"Who said that the second way is for you to choose to commit suicide." Li Xiao said with a mocking face.

Usami stopped her hand, pursed her lips and asked, "Isn't that the case?" ”

Li Xiao said gently: "I mean, if you don't want to marry me, then today's incident, everyone should have never happened, you are still the second military division of the family, Usami is victorious, and I still regard you as a subordinate." ”

Usami Nami's body was shocked, she didn't expect Li Xiao to make this decision, but she immediately explained to Li Xiao: "Lord, it's not that I'd rather die than marry you, it's just that I haven't avenged my revenge." ”

Li Xiao shook his head and said: "You don't have to explain anything, I am not a conceited person, if you don't fall in love with me, I will be disappointed, and I will have nothing." But I respect your choice, you have been in the family for eight years, and you have helped me a lot, if you hadn't offered me a plan to burn it to Guiyun City to retreat from my sister Xiaolu's army, I would have been in big trouble. ”

"So even if you can't be my concubine, I still want you to be my retainer and assist me."

"Thank you, Lord."

When Usami Nami heard Li Xiao's words, she lost her voice for a while, and tears welled up.

"As for the great feud of the Uesugi family, I also hope that you can take revenge and restore the name of the Usami family one day."

"It's impossible, the Usami clan, everyone is dead except me, and it's impossible to revive the family name." Usami said sadly.

Li Xiao comforted the other party and said: "As the so-called endless road, you don't have to give up hope, but I must persuade you that you don't have to put all your sustenance on revenge, so it is definitely not a good thing for you." You know, there are many things in life that are much more important than revenge. ”

"Your Majesty understands."

Li Xiao was also relieved to see that Usami Nami had obviously listened to her words, and then yawned, waved her hand and said, "Okay, if you don't have the consciousness to stay in bed, I'm going to rest." ”

Usami Nami laughed slightly after hearing this, and said, "Yes, my lord, my majesty retires." ”

Li Xiao looked at the back of Usami Minami in the distance, and thought in his heart: Is this a deliberate show of goodwill, and then put a long line to hang a big fish, it seems that this is not pure.
