Chapter 151: The Wound of the Turning Point (Part II)

Seeing me come in, the maids in the room knew that it was not good, and they knelt on the ground without caring about scolding them, and went straight forward to support Xiao Xia. Xiao Xia's eyes were closed, her face was pale, and although she had fallen into a coma, she could still see the sadness of her relatives. I picked her up and put her on the tatami mat in a nearby room, and immediately the maid brought embroidered pillows and green fans, and served Xiao Xia diligently. I pinched Xiao Xia's middle man, she snorted, woke up slowly, looked at me a little blankly, and the maid brought the wind-milled copper ear chisel flower tribute incense burner, lit a small piece of wood incense, and the room was immediately filled with a quiet fragrance.

Maybe it's because of the fragrance, Xiao Xia's face finally got better, and she recognized my appearance.

"I want children. I want to see Keirokuro. She looked at me fixedly.

"Natsu-chan, I know you're hard to accept," I sighed, "but it's already happened, so I'll have to try to face it...... You still have Zhou Jing, and me, don't be too sad. ”

"I want a baby." Xiao Xia said again.

"I know, you're worried that your family name won't have a successor, right?" I thought about it for a while and quickly made a decision, "When Zhou Jing has a child, how about picking an inheritance family name?" Or, we still have Mingjin, and we can also recruit a son-in-law and adopted son...... As long as you can look at it, any family can do it, and I believe that no family will refuse. ”

"I want to see Keirokuro!" Xiao Xia suddenly became a little impatient, and grabbed my sleeve, "Your Highness, go and find him!" ”

"Are you sure?" I frowned and looked at her worriedly. She wanted to see Jing Shige's body...... However, when she heard only bad news, she fainted; What if I saw him separated from his head?

"Let's go!" Xiao Xia urged.

"Okay, I'll go." I had to perfunctory her.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this insincere sentence, Xiao Xia actually nodded and smiled with satisfaction: "I knew that His Highness would agree to the concubine...... The concubine had someone make him a few summer clothes, but he hadn't put them on yet! Really, the weather is so hot, he is still running around, His Highness has to talk about him! ”

I frowned slightly, puzzled. What does she mean by this headless and brainless words? Why did Jingzhong run away? Could it be that he was overly sad and talking nonsense, right?

I held her face and looked closely, and found that she didn't have the same sad expression as before.

"Natsu," I asked tentatively, "do you know about Jingzhong?" ”

"Jingzhong's matter......" Xiao Xia frowned slightly, "Who is Jingzhong?" ”

"Jingzhong is Jingliulang!" I looked at her a little worriedly.

Kerokuro...... Jing Zhong ......" Xiao Xia's brow furrowed, "That's it! Has His Highness decided to serve Keirokuro? Jingzhong...... Well, this name is not bad, it is the name format of our Shangchuan family! ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the eyes of the maids in the room widened. And I also understood that Xiao Xia had obviously lost some of her memories, including the matter of Jing Chongyuan's costume and Jing Chong's expedition, she had forgotten all about it, but instinctively worried about Jing Zhong and wanted to see him as soon as possible.

"Your Highness...... Madame her? "Yu Nian sent Ah Ruo hesitated to ask me.

"What's wrong with me?" Xiao Xia looked at Ah Ruo strangely, and then looked at the room, "By the way, why am I in this room?" ”

"Because Madame ...... just now" Another maid wanted to explain to Xiao Xia, but I stretched out her hand to stop her, and then Wen Yan said to Xiao Xia: "You were tired in the main hall just now and accidentally fell asleep, so they had to help you here." ”

"I see." Xiao Xia nodded with relief, and mentioned Jing Chong's matter again, "Then, Your Highness quickly call someone to call Jing Liulang back!" He must have taken two or three more attendants with him, wandering around the town of Hasuike in the east! ”

"Okay, I'll go. You're tired too, so go ahead and rest for a while! I coaxed her.

Xia nodded obediently.

"That's it," I put down Natsu's back and looked up around the room, my gaze turning stern, "you all listen, serve Madame well, and don't make her sad casually...... Did you hear that! ”

"The servant knows!" Ah Ruo understood what I meant, and quickly bowed his head and answered.

"Then I'll leave it to you." I nodded and strode out of the room.

Perhaps, if she forgets about it, we will not mention it for the time being, lest she be too sad. And I was about to face a crucial decisive battle, and I really didn't have the extra energy to take care of her emotions...... If she insisted on seeing Jing Liulang in her memory, it would be a big deal to make up a lie to fool her and lie to her that Jing Liulang went to Zhou Jing or Xinjing.

Back in the main hall, Ueki Fujishi, Fujido Takatora and the others were still kneeling. Hearing my heavy footsteps, Ueki Fujishi raised his head: "Then Taichang Gong, about the arrangement of the family's surrender ......"

"What Yu wants to talk about now is not about your surrender, but how to avenge Yu's beloved son!" I interrupted him and commanded Fujido Takatora murderously, "You should have heard Kume Yoshitoyo's account clearly just now, right?" ”

Tang Gaohu bowed his head and answered.

He said that the thieves who attacked Jing Zhong had two shares, each of which was thousands...... Then count it at 9,000! Nine thousand per share, a total of 18,000 people. Go back to the north-central part of the country now, and lead the Tosa people to wipe out these 18,000 people once and for all!" ”

"The Great Hall," Kume Yoshitoyo hurriedly explained, "According to the young master of the family, there shouldn't be so many...... Besides, there aren't so many people in the whole of Aga-gun! ”

"That's the one who came from another county," I waved at him, and continued to instruct Fujido Takatora, "in short, we must destroy all the thieves." If Aga-gun is not enough, the neighboring Ueta County is also included! If there's one missing, you can get your head up and make it up yourself! ”

"Your Majesty takes orders! I will definitely atone for my sins and live up to the trust of the hall! Fujido Gaohu bowed his head in response, the expression on his face was both shocked and some happiness for being spared.

Ueki Fujishi was also sweating profusely, but he was anxious by my punishment. However, he did not dare to interrupt me rashly, and it was not until Fujido Takahu received the order that he found an opportunity to intercede with me.

"Please be too often angry!" He touched the ground with his forehead and kowtowed, "My family also knows something about this one...... Taichang Gong wants to avenge his son, and his family should serve his own life, and all the thugs must be brought to justice! ”

"Don't be busy, naturally there is something for you to do," I looked at him coldly, "I knew that you were at the behest of you this time...... I heard that all the fifty-three horsemen around Jingzhong were killed, so you should also hand over the fifty-three heads of the samurai involved! And the Maori family must stop resisting immediately! If you can't accept it and want to harbor these sinners, Yu will personally go to Shanyang to preside over the war and completely wipe out the Maori tribes such as Er! ”

"Isn't it too domineering for Taichang Gong to act like this?" A voice asked angrily, speaking from a young entourage behind Ueki Fujishi, "I heard that Taichang Gong has made enemies with His Royal Highness Chikuzen Mamoru, if this family and His Royal Highness Chikuzen Mamoru join forces to hold back Taichanggong's military momentum, then will Taichang Gong still be so powerful?" ”

"Who is this?" I asked, looking at Ueki Fujishi.

"The foreign minister is the retainer of the Yoshikawa family, Masuda Motosho, the current lord of the castle of Boqi Yufu Ishishi, and the family is His Royal Highness the Shosuke of Yoshikawa Jibu," Masuda Motosho raised his head, "As for the father, he is stationed at the Nanao Castle of Iwami Province, and he has also blocked the 30,000 troops of Kitakyushu under His Royal Highness Kira Habayashi!" ”

It turned out to be Yoshikawa Motoharu's son-in-law, Masuda Motosho, no wonder he had the confidence to speak beyond Ueki Fujishi. He is in China, probably as a liaison for the Yoshikawa family! In the battle of Takamatsu Castle in history, he also went into battle with Yoshikawa Motoharu, and inherited the position of the governor of the Masuda family after the war, and Fukuhara, Anato and other Maori relatives and became the head of the Maori family...... His father is indeed the lord of Iwami Province and the lord of Nanao Castle, Masuda Fujikane, but to say that he blocked Nobuyo is to put gold on his own face, because Nobuyo did not attack Nanao Castle at all, but followed the advice of Shigeharu Takenaka and directly attacked the Maori family in the south from the western part of Iwami Province to the south of the Mori family.

"I see," I nodded, "I almost forgot, Yoshikawa Jibu once fought under Chikuzen Mori and received the title of the Yura family, and the relationship is really unusual!" ”

"Too often and wisely." Masuda Motosho nodded.

"Since you are the son-in-law of Yoshikawa Jibu, and you are so heroic, you must be deeply trusted by Yoshikawa Jibu and can represent the position of the Yoshikawa family?" I continued.

"Don't dare to be praised by Taichang Gong," Masuda Motosho couldn't help but show a hint of triumph, "Mighty and unyielding, it is the spirit that a samurai like us should have." ”

"As soon as you say that, Yu can't back down! Otherwise, wouldn't it be a loss of samurai spirit? I smiled slightly, "Then, Yu will accept your declaration of war on behalf of the Yoshikawa family!" ”

"This ......" Masuda Motosho was stunned, "When will the foreign minister ...... When did you declare war on Taichanggong? ”

"Didn't you say that you want to join forces with the Yuliang family and do your best to hold back Yu's army?" I waved my hand and settled his words, "Then, let's wait and see the bravery of the Samurai of the Yoshikawa family...... However, I doubt that if the Honke invaded the Izumo Province of the Yoshikawa clan, would Chikuzen Mamoru be willing to cross several countries and stay away from his own territory to fight against the superior military power of the Honko. In addition, Yu can also tell you that before the internal strife of the Oda family last year, most of the surplus grain in Kinai and the East China Sea was purchased by Yu no Saburo Keimasa and stored in Tenjin Mountain, Imabari and Quanzhou Castle. Now that we are in the midst of a scarcity, I would like to see how Chikuzen Mamoru can raise enough military rations to support the expedition of the army to Izumo Province. ”

After saying this, I left the earth-colored Masuda and the Ueki who wanted to stop talking, and left the main hall without looking back.

……，……

Xiao Xia slept well this night, and didn't wake up naturally until the evening. I had already thought of an excuse for Jing Zhong's absence, and I was ready to deal with what she had to say during the day. However, she didn't ask about Jingzhong's whereabouts at all, nor did she rush to see Jingzhong. She just followed her usual bedtime practice and ordered the maid to go to Keirokuro's room to see if he had slept peacefully, as if things were supposed to be like this. Then she closed the door and wrapped her smile around me.

At dawn, seeing that she was still asleep, I didn't wake her up, got dressed myself, and cleaned up the room myself. However, in the morning, when she was having breakfast with me, she looked at me seriously and asked me where I had slept last night.

"Isn't it with you?" I looked at her in amazement.

"Really? But there is no trace in the room, and the concubine body is not impressed at all! Xiao Xia looked at me suspiciously, "Did Your Highness ask for a maid?" That's why you're prevaricating like this? …… Don't worry, even if the concubine is angry, it won't be anything, I just want to know about His Highness! ”

"Xiao Xia, you really don't remember?" I put down the silver chopstick, and asked tentatively again, "By the way, why didn't you see Jingzhong...... What about Keirokuro? ”

"He, His Highness doesn't know it!" At the mention of Jingzhong, Xiao Xia immediately gave up the pursuit of the root cause and laughed dotingly, "Isn't it common to run to Hasuike Town early in the morning, have breakfast there, and even see no one all day?" …… This Kira Castle Pavilion, after all, is too deserted, and children of his age always like to be lively! ”

"I see." I nodded, and continued with my breakfast.

Judging from the events of the past two days, Xiao Xia's situation is very special. Her memory seems to have been stagnant before Jing Chongyuanfu, and what happened now, she also forgot everything after a sleep. In her subconscious, in addition to forgetting these unpleasantness, she seems to be reluctant to accept any new information, including the news of Jingzhong, of course.

This seems to be some kind of syndrome of selective amnesia and transient amnesia. And as far as I know, such symptoms are also evident in many elderly people, but it is difficult to get such a thorough degree.

Other than this symptom, her other thoughts were normal, and even after she fell into a coma that day, the consciousness of desperate to see Jing Zhong did not appear again. Seeing that she still called "Keirokuro", prepared clothes for him and the next day's expenses, and blamed him for running around from time to time, I not only felt weird, but also felt a little unspeakably sad.

"That's fine, you don't have to face reality, otherwise I really don't know how to face you," I sighed as I looked at her peaceful sleeping face, "From this era to not long ago, I thought I could roughly grasp all the situations and make use of them. Even Yujin committed suicide, which was expected by me, but it was difficult to change, and then I drew a line with Nobuo...... However, this time Jing Zhong fell, but it was really something I didn't expect, although I could exchange it for the surrender of the Hoida family, and even the entire Maori family would be subdued, but I would rather this thing never happen! ”ro！ ~！
